A...--~ The Intelligence Review course which begins
Thursday 28 October now has 31 employees enrolled in it. Last
week, this time, there were only eleven. Of the 31, 20 are DDS
(plus 2 who have to make up portions of the course).
STO/DDS, put out a request on
4 October telling DDS Training Officers of the authorized DDS
quota of 8, and to send nominees to the Registrar. As of
October 4 there were already 7 DDS employees enrolled but Bob
didn't call to check on the status before his memo, consequently
the course is considered by to be overweighted by 25X1
DDS. Larry recommended that we "hold down" but "don't dis-
courage" DDS attendance. There are only 8 DDI careerists (for
whom the course is generally intended). Although the class
e limit is set at 32, Larry also said he will take as many as 40 so
that DDI careerists can attend.
t P.1`.q -
In Bob's memo he states that the Intelligence
Review "is a prerequisite for attendance at the Midcareer course
or a Senior Officer Course, " (This, if my recall serves me
correctly, is not quite the case.) with the result that some DDS
Training Officers have put their Midcareerists in the course.
B. The Introduction to Intelligence for 22 November -
3 December has 38 registered; the Introduction to Communism
which follows on 6 December already has 34. Almost everyone

is an EOD, --support to the conclusion that the revised headquar-
ters regulation making the four weeks Intelligence Orientation
course a requirement for new professionals is being given full
attention by Personnel Officers and by Training Officers.
C. In the end of course report on the last Air
Operations Course (#43) there is a recommendation that addi-
tional information on students in future classes be provided the
instructors (e. g. aviation background, Agency experience). We
have recorded this on the admissions requirements check-list
and will arrange with Training Officers to begin to include the
information on their applications.
has been giving full attention to
"audit" of the Registrar's system of processing
information for admissions to OTR's courses on evaluations of
students` training, and information on records of both internal
and external training. has been on an 8:30 - 12:30 25X1
schedule all this week. He plans to continue through next week
and as long thereafter as he needs to complete his study.
E. About thirty 'responses' to OTR's Notice 11-65
on Language testing of ST careerists have been received. Of the
30, eight individuals want to be tested, one in as many as four
languages.
F. As part of the general interest in information
on ADP training, of 25X1
OCR (Project CHIVE) spent a considerable part of Monday
morning noting information on courses at selected (their selec-
tion) institutions and on Agency employees' evaluations of ADP
courses. This is part of OCR's study of training programs which
may be applicable to their project.
G. On Tuesday, I I PO/TR, and I
reviewed the status quo of candidates for the editorial position in
the Branch. Brian hopes to get action started on Monday, 18
October, on the two very well-qualified individuals whose official
files I have already returned to him.

A. On 12 October I talked with a representative of the
International Correspondence School (ICS) who tried to
interest me (on behalf of the Agency) to enter into a coopera-
tive agreement with ICS. In essence the cooperative agree-
ment would mean only that we would establish the bona fides
of an employee taking ICS courses and in the case of the
non-sponsored employee act as a collection house for his fees.
In return, the cost of ICS courses would be reduced from 10
to 20 per cent. I explained that we were not organized on the
same lines as other agencies with which ICS has a co-op
agreement and that our requirements for the kind of technical
training ICS offers is relatively light. I explained that for
these reasons I did not believe entering into a co-op agreement
was justified either for them or us. I did agree to further
explore the matter and talk with them again about it.

C. A rough draft of an internal orientationn,,ADP
is completed. By next week I hope to have it in such a form
that I can discuss it with the various ADP offices. Joe Becker
has already seen it and generally concurs in our approach.
D. The first in a series of meetings for all Agency
Training Officers is scheduled for 28 October from 2:00 to
3:30 p. m. at Headquarters Building. A memorandum setting
forth the purpose of this and future meetings, the subjects
that will be discussed, along with a request soliciting
suggestions for subjects they would like covered in these
meetings, is being sent to all Training Officers. In addition,
each Training Officer is being called and invited to attend
the meeting. The response to this type of meeting from
Training Officers contacted to date has been enthusiastic.
