in Artie's letter. Henry has kept me well informed about the
progress of his program and he has felt that it was going well -
particularly in the sense of contributing to the station's basic
DATE: 29 March 1965
1. I was most pleased to read the comments
purpose of establishing rapport with new officers
He has been asked to extend his stay for a few days
in order to assist in assessing the members of his class. In
absence 0 ran Introduction to Communism.
2. Another cable has gone re the proposed SIC
program in0 Again -- the station is anxious to develop
better liaison and has agreed that a
program of this kind cool' start the ba 1 rolling. The desk
is pushing to get it in during FY 5 in order to use funds
already allocated for the purpose I'm also hopeful they can
make it so that- with h interest -- will
be able to participate.
3. Only five students were registered for today's CPO&0,
but Dand I felt that it should go on regardless of
small number. We have found -- as would be expected -- that
the give and take in a small seminar such as this is much more
productive for the class. Beyond this -- it's a good change
of pace for the staff to get away from the necessarily more
formal atmosphere of 35-~+0 man classes.

~. We are hopeful. that ACO efforts wi11 be rewarded
with a few more students than is normally the case in that course --
an average of about ten. He has not only worked out a new and a
potentially interesting program, but has made a real effort to sell
it to a great many people in the DDP, having contacted all the
training officers as well as many branch and desk representatives.
The most recent development is the addition of Kirkpatrick
an to the first day's program. This came as a surprise
to botx and me. if he, 25X1A
might arrange the program -- not an unusual request since
e normally appears on the first day. However, he went somewhat
further than expected in inviting Kirk and TK. Being aware of your
concern about using these people too much I hope this does not
meet with your disapproval.
5. We managed to cut back somewhat in our participation in
absence and the fact that I was scheduled in ~tutesman's course at
the same time as in Keppel's forced Keppel to look elsewhere.
Hopefully, he has now turned up some alternates and we will be able
to maintain this cut-back. Ironically, I believe he had to go out
into the academic community -- and, of course, to pay the new
speakers -- in the absence of support from his own Department,
John Keppel's dust-concluded Communist course at FSI.
In Stutesman's course they had been suggesting for some
months that the Agency, with J'4dM as recruiter, should provide a
speaker to discuss Communist techniques of subverting and weakening
developing countries. I finally suggested that they use Thomas P.
Thornton, co-author with Cyril Black of Communism and Revolution,
an asset right in their own backyard in I&R. apparently 2~ rn~on
accepted with considerable reluctance -- claiming that his views
were "controversial" -- and I have not heard how his turn with the
troops worked out. I felt, however, that the monkey should not
be put on our backs quite so frequently.
6. The one external area in which ~~.a~e still experiencing
some frustration is the $re~4aware 25X1A
that the Agency is desirous of assisting, ands,3ae lso are aware
of the difficulties of the problems involved, but the inadequacy,
and at times the downright stupidity, of the0 staff at the 25X1A
continues to be discouraging.
