SUBJECT: Weekly Activities Report No. 12
DATE: 3 June 1965
A. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS
None to report.
B. OTHER ACTIVITIES
25X1A 1. - met with , on 2 June to
discuss and coordinate the branch and division requirements for
German language training during the coming year and to brief him
on LTS facilities and current capabilities.. strongly 25X1A
favors full-time language training and said that he will send
students to part-time courses or tutorial training only where no
other alternative exists. He estimated that EE Division will
require full-time training for about 20 students a year for the
next few years and that almost all of the training will be
concentrated in the first half of the calendar year. 25X1A
expressed his satisfaction with the plan suggested by C EE to
extend the full-time course to 6 months.
25X1A
Such scheduling will tend to load our facilities heavily
during the first half of the calendar year. This can perhaps be
levelled out if other requirements can be taken care of during
the remaining six months of the year. There are numerous
advantages to starting several classes at one time, such as
aptitude grouping and recombination in case of dropouts. The
hiatus between the end of our present class in August and the
beginning of the new six-month class can be used to retool the
course for the longer period.
2. will meet on 4 June with C/NE and members of his
staff to discuss training in Middle Eastern languages, with
particular emphasis on coordination of course scheduling.

3. Enrollment in the Voluntary Language Training Program
shows a dropout rate of 25% at the end of 10 weeks, our mid-
term mark. This is a bette' showing than last semester when 35%
of the students enrolled at1beginning had dropped out by mid-term.
Ninety-eight out of the original 131 enrolled in March will thus
receive mid-term ratings.
Every effort is being made to follow up on reasons for
dropping out. Instructors are cooperating to the fullest with
us.
