Memorandum
TO Director of Training DATE: 19 November 1965
FROM : Registrar/TR
SUBJECT: Weekly Activities Report No. 37
15 - 19 November 1965
CONFIDENTIAL
Thirty-four Senior Officers representing the four Directorates
of the Agency and the Office of the DCI attended the two-day Project
HELPFUL (a Defense Intelligence Agency Orientation) on 16 & 17
November. Although we had a rash of late cancellations we were
short only one of our quota of thirty-five (35) when the sessions
convened! This was far better than the Joint Staff's record which
was short seven of their fifteen (15) spaces. All concerned in
DIA were impressed with the level of our personnel in attendance.
From comments of many of the participants including Messrs.
John Clarke, Enno Knocke, it
25X1
was a highly worthwhile two days, certainly worth repeating (with
some slight modification) at regular intervals. DIA Director, Lieu-
tenant General Carroll made a fine opening presentation of approxi-
mately twenty-f
ive minutes.
We have been romised copies of his
presentation.
Assistant Chief of
25X1
Staff Plans & Programs followed General Carroll with presentations
on The Evolution of DIA and on the Organization, Functions and Re-
lationships of DIA. On the second day he also made a presentation
on Defense Intelligence Planning & Management and then remained, to
sit on a panel at the close of each day to answer questions. Rear
DIA Chief of Staff joined the group for the
question panels and also hosted the group, (at individual expense),
at lunch at the Navy Yard Officers Club on the second day. Other
presentations were made by Senior DIA Officers on the various
Directorates and their functions including a presentation on Defense
Intelligence Collection by Assist- 25X1
ant Director for Acquisition. The two days also included tours of
the DIA processing and Computer Centers and a visit to the Indica-
tions Center.
All participants were impressed with the frankness of the dis-
cussions, the absence of fault finding, and the apparent emphasis
on cooperation and coordination between the two agencies. Several
of the speakers made reference to CIA and its personnel as the "true
professionals" in the intelligence business.

15 - 19 November 1965
Administration of the program was well handled by the Defense
Intelligence School. Coffee and doughnuts were provided free of
cost which added some status to the program which many of our
programs fall short of when we charge visiting participants for
their coffee breaks. Transportation for the visits and tours was
by bus provided by the Defense Intelligence School.
I have attached a list of CIA participants. This list breaks
down as follows:
