15 - 26 March 1965
I. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS
None
II. OTHERS
DATE: 29 March 1965
A. The internal OTR section of the Catalog of
Courses, March 1964, is being revised. The extent of revisions
(any deletion of old courses or description of new ones) has been
discussed with the Chiefs of Schools and Staffs. The date of
9 April for submission of material apparently will cause no in-
convenience to the chiefs.
B. The draft of the sanitized edition of the OTR
Catalog, prepared by TAS/OS, was received and reviewed by
DC/AIB on Thursday, 26 March. TAS,. wanted AIB's
immediate approval of the contents so that typing of the final
copy could be done on Friday. Helen reports that as closely as
she could determine, all OTR courses of interest to people in
the field are included.
C. The March OTR Bulletin was distributed in the
Agency on 24 March (AIB reported previously that mechanical
failure at the plant delayed publication.) The Bulletin includes
an item that AIB is preparing reprints of the articles on the
Senior Officer Schools. So far AIB has received a considerable
number of requests for the brochure. We planned to send copies
to Senior Training Officers, the members of TSB, and all other
Training Officers of the Agency. Some of our requests, however,
are from Branch Chiefs and supervisors. The brochure is ex-
pected to be ready for distribution about 15 April, in good time
for parties to initiate papers for the next year's runnings of SOCs.

days earlier.
26 April;
in time for resumption of classes on Monday,
E. C/HT/OS, gave his approval
for an OL candidate to attend the CS Review. The man, who re-
cently returned is on the Plans /OL and will
be concerned with support to CS operations. said, however,
if there is a need to cut the class to keep within a certain maxi-
mum, this man will be dropped from the roster. TO/OL was
informed by C/AIB and agreed to the arrangement.
F. Late Thursday afternoon, 25 March, a copy of
a memo:?. dated 4 February 1965 was delivered to AIB. The memo
contained a request for an abbreviated Intelligence Orientation
course to be given for NPIC during the week of 29 March. This
was the first AIB knew of the course being given, consequently
the list of students was not available to the Intelligence School
until Monday morning, 29 March. The 10 Faculty assumed all
along, it is reported, that AIB knew of the plans for the course.
G. Courses to be canceled:
Basic Country Survey, USSR (29 March - 9 April): Memo of re-
quest is in process.
Advanced Operations Seminar (5 - 16 April): Memo to be sub-
mitted.
CI s (29 March - 16 April): Only a verbal notification by
C/HT/OS at this time.

H. By agreement with C/OS, C/AIB has been
keeping him informed of the registration for COS Seminar. So
far there are 13 candidates.
I. The seven participants in the 5-30 April
National Interdepartmental Seminar were notified to attend a
briefing to be given on 1 April, 2 P. M. in Room 25X1
1D-1601 Headquarters.

Schools, beginning in the Fall. will be the Chief 25X1
Instructor and sinceE=:=sees it as an internal program, AIB
will handle registrations, notify Training Officers that candidates
should attend, prepare a roster, and so forth. Tans to
make arrangements to notify those who are overseas. Room 803,
this building, has been reserved for the program.
K. A Special. Bulletin was published on the Anti-
Communist Ops course, but distribution was delayed for a day
since C/SIC and the Chief Instructor wanted to make preliminary
contacts before copies were sent to Training Officers.
L. Language Development Program
carries the requirement that Chiefs of Station and Chief of Base
should submit an annual report on their people who are studying
foreign languages. The report is due no later than 1 April of
each year. Last year AIB received a substantial number of re-
ports; so far this year, only four reports have been received.
C/AIB called DDP/ TRO to remind him of the existence of this
provision and to ask whether or not it should continue as part
of the field regulation. He plans to look into it and if necessary
send a communication to the field to either (a) remind Chiefs of
Station or Base of the requirement or (b) tell them of the plan to
eliminate it.
C/LTS, is willing to retain the dis-
patches as a source of information for reports he may have to
make on language training. AIB will forward them on a continuing
basis--for as long as AIB getsthem.

M. After the meeting in the Office of the Cl CTP,
OTR. in which there was considerable discussion about the interim
assignments of DDS-designated Career Trainees and about having
a large class in July and a smaller one in September, a tentative
schedule for the next two runnings of the integrated
p ro ram was
drawn up in AIB and later discussed with
CTP.
25X1
The schedule is presently under review
and it
25X1
is hoped that definite dates can be set soon, since the organiza-
tion of a schedule for other OTR courses for the second half of
1965 cannot be done until the CT schedule is confirmed. AIB has
alerted the Chiefs of Schools of the need for their schedule and
of the status of the CT one.
N. The article on PM training which was suggested
in a series of correspondence between and the Cps
School I and too, with the DDP/ TRO, is being drafted by
The draft will be reviewed by all parties concerned be-
tore it is published.
0. and C/AIB plan to go to the Head-
quarter's building on Tuesday, 30 March, to discuss location and
maintenance of a small shelf of catalogs in the language lab.
After the shelf is set up, AIB will notify Training Officers through
the Bulletin of the availability of the catalogs--only those on the
local schools. The idea of the information being available at
Langley headquarters was initiated by Assistant
to the Training Officer/DDI.
P. and C/AIB have worked out an
arrangement for reserving Room 1D-1601, the new conference
room for Orientation for Overseas. will be the contact
point for any reservations. So far we have had occasions to
reserve it for two briefings and certainly it is a much more con-
venient arrangement than having to plague RID or other offices
for use of their spaces.

in the Naval War College correspondence course in Counterin-

R. Arrangement to keep 1A- 13 and 1A-07 vacant
for the afternoons of the week of 29 March was done so that the
GSA people can get to the rooms to correct the acoustical prob-
lem in IA- 13. Instructors have complained about the deficiencies
in the system, but apparently it was the recent briefing by Colonel
White in the Support Services course that sparked some positive
action to correct the problem. If .the GSA can do the work, the
Agency, according to an save $2500.
S. The matter of records retirement in AIB has
been scheduled in such a way that the Branch will meet the
established 31 March deadline for up-dating the official Schedule
