1. As a general rule, the DDS&T is our only user (large
numbers) of short symposiums. They use these to up-date
employees in the scientific and technological fields. The major
part of their external training budget falls in this area. During
the last four or five years the only exception has been the Office
of Communications. They also send large numbers of project
engineers each year to these programs.
This year the Office of Research and Reports is also
utilizing this type of program. Presently six ORR employees
will attend the Symposium on Cost Effectiveness Analysis,
jointly sponsored by the Institute for Defense Analysis and the
Washington Research Council.
2. Chief/ Naval Branch, Defensive
Systems uivisin, u5,will attend the next New London Sub-
marine Indoctrination Course beginning 7 June 1965.
informed us that the OSI employees who have attended,wor ce or
him and have derived a great deal of benefit from this program.
We are delighted that will attend the next session 25X1
because Commander Duncan Packer, BUWEPS, (the Course
Coordinator) is being transferred to Norfolk. As you know, the
Navy is not centralized as the other Services, and therefore, 25X1
Commander Packer's successor may not favor us.
3. I have just completed reading
Deputy Chief, Central Cover Staff, report on his attendance at
Harvard's Advanced Management Program. For me, his report
is the best I have read since joining the External Training Branch.
It will greatly aid us in future administrative briefings.
There are three questions raised in his report that I
would like to discuss:

C:~ ; arranged a very informative indoctri-
nation program last my for the Agency designees to
forthcoming senior external training courses. I made one
suggestion to him which may appropriately be restated here.
I believe it would be well to point out at intervals during the
briefing sessions the differences in the nature and extent of
discussions permissible with security-cleared classmates
in the military schools program and those matters appropriate
for discussions with the mix of uncleared U. S. and foreign
national participants in civilian programs such as the AMP.
There should be no doubt left among this minority group
that they are not permitted the same latitude as the military
schools contingent in discussing intelligence matters. "
Are the full-time academic students to be included in this year's
senior officer orientation? We are presently briefing them for
their PCS moves this summer and fall. They are now making
leave plans and office commitments before final departure. If
they are to be included, I also would like to attend this portion of
the briefing so that I will get the party line.
b. "I don't believe any extensive individual comment on
the faculty members for the 46th AMP would serve any great
purpose. As a group? I noted with interest in a recent
article on M. I. T. , that in spite of the technical connotations
of its name and its recognized preeminence in related fields,
it has developed also a management course 'second only to
Harvard's" in the quality of its faculty. There you have the
judgement of Harvard's (Business School) peers. "
What is OTR's system for improving (selected new programs and
eliminating others) TSB programs. This "MIT lead" should be
followed up by someone to evaluate whether to include it in the
TSB courses, mid-career external programs and given special
publicity.

c. "Visiting Lecturers
A major objective of Agency investment in the
AMP, I believe, is simply the opportunity for contact by
a spread of Agency managerial officials with the 'real
world' of business -- feeling the business pulse on
various issues and combatting tendencies toward the
intellectual and managerial in-breeding which the nature
of CIA activities inclines to promote. I suggest that`.
consideration be given to contracting the services of one
or more of the most stimulating members of the Business
School faculty from time to time to address a sizeable
audience of Agency managerial officials at Headquarters. "
This would obviously benefit the Agenc . Would employees
gain from such lectures? Possibly employees could be sent
without having to compete for the few Agency spaces handled by
TSB.
As there are other points which may be of interest to
the DDP Training Officer, I will send him a copy of I

amount of activity concerning language students at the. Foreign
Service Institute. It began with:

It is my personal opinion that most of these
"shenanigans" could not be helped. However, there is a doubt
in my mind -- using QTR as a cushion for arrivals and departures
to the field.
