the first such since early June, but it hit at moreproductive.things a ~
~
than the weekly sessions which I had attended in prior months. Among
the topics discussed were:
a. Non-Resident Instruction. In its first year of operation,
with an extremely small complement of workers, a non-resident course
of twelve units was developed and about 350 persons were enrolled.
Of the latter, approximately 225 remained in active status and four
have just completed the entire program. Inasmuch as the corre-
spondence course purportedly parallels the 34-week Defense Intelli-
gence Course, the fact of any graduates in the year of course
develoDment 'ngularly indicative of a successful enterprise.
has volunteered to enroll in the program;
presumably he w i l l be the first reservist from the Agency to do so.
The need to up-date the correspondence units as the DIS course is
revised was also recognized and some points of coordination were
established.
b. Orientation Courses. Some discussion ensued on the DIS
charter as it pertains to orientation courses. The course chief's
willingness to accept all DIA nominees for the recent orientation
course didn't set well with he holds a rather firm opinion
that officers and clerical need a different "orientation"
and as a consequence should be grouped in separate classes.
c. Quotas for the Advanced Intelligence Course. Somewhere in
the DIA hierarchy, it was decided that the six slots for non-DOD
should be allocated two each to CIA and NSA and one each to State
and Coast Guard. State seems disinterested; Coast Guard appears to
alternately report that it will or will not fill its u ; NSA
wants four slots. From this up-and-downness, has
announced that DIS will willingly accept three rom an though
the invitation specified two slots.

d. Requests for Guest Speakers. I has been
assigned the role of Chief, Plans and Evaluation Group at DIS and
has now effected some joint classes to reduce calls on guest
speakers for orientation or introductory-type lectures. In the
opening week of instruction in September, the Attache and Advanced
Intelligence classes will be combined for at least three lectures.
Mr. Dulles has been re uested for the Kickoff presentation (I'll
backstop this with in case the invitation is declined).
2. Arrangements have been completed with) Ito permit
Chief of Photography Instruction for the Attache Department
to visit TSD and compare instructional facilities and techniques.
3. The Civilian Analyst Course moves into specialized instruction
this week, to include five Agency presentations. One student has been
dropped and one late arrival admitted. The latter has just completed a
summer session course.
4. A graduation program is attached.) )addressed
some excellent remarks to the departing Atta he es. His only mention of
the Strategic Intelligence Course was that one of his employees was in
the "other class."
5. (remains quite ill. Concern has been expressed
whether he'll ever return to duty,

1. The past week was distinctly dissimilar from previous ones for
me. Only on Monday did I spend a full day at DIS, for reasons mentioned
below.
2. In mid-week, I assisted in the Special Orientation Course for
Senior Officer College selectees. My responsibility was to conduct the
sessions on "Conference Leadership" and to inter-relate these to the
lecture on "Briefing," which preceded, and to the Problem Solving exer-
cise which had selected for the conclusion of the program.
According to ~ feed-back from the group was quite favorable.
3. On Thursday and Friday, I accompanied the IC/RC seminar group
and selected Attache faculty on their regularly scheduled visit to Cape
Kennedy. Also accompanying the group were of DIA, and a
Mr. Wilson, from FTD at Wright-Patterson. On the several sweeps over the
Cape enroute down and during the conducted tour there, Mr. Wilson made
appropriate comparisons between U.S. and U.S.S.R. vehi
s stems. was the senior of three Attaches
(As a classmate of at t e National
War College, he had kept in close touch with and had visited
the family in recent weeks

At the request of I am making available to him
all of the material I was able to accumulate on this worthwhile tour.
One amusing sidelight- and I were served at the Officers'
Club bar by a waitress whose name was CIA.
4. Some minor problem developed at DIS regarding the disposal of
classified waste; an IG report questioned the continued use by the
school of the District Incinerator. the school Secre-
tary (and Security Officer), asked me for some supporting help so I
arrangeith Chief of our Physical Security Branch, to aid in
solvingd w problem.
5. DIS has never come up with as candid, and correspondingly
effective, a speaker from the Department of State as the Hon. Jack H.
Vaughn, Assistant Secretary for Inter-American Affairs. He doesn't look
the part of a good speaker, but one feels, as he responds to questions,
that he knows what the President wants done and is attempting to get it
done quickly. He might be a good bet for the Mid-Career program or
the CT class.
