21 June - 25 June 1965
1. The Civilian Analyst Course opens today at DIS. The first
week's schedule is attached; from the second through the fifth week, the
CAC students will follow the Strategic Intelligence Course program, with
minor modifications. We have been told that 24 of the students listed
on the tentative roster, also attached, will be in attendance. It is
expected that two late entries will be admitted but that other late
starters will be held over in DIA until the January class.
2. Students in the Iron Curtain/Restricted Country seminar group
of the Attache class will undertake a worthwhile exercise at Ft. Myer
today. Husb ri-wife teams are seeking information, but participants are
unaware that

class. called me on several matters from Colorado College.
Flooding was so severe around Denver that trains couldn't get in; Bob
mentioned that he had to travel from Cheyenne to Denver via bus, so as
to reach Colorado Springs.
4. On Tuesday, June 29, the Attache class will have a half-day
program in the Headquarters Auditorium, and lunch thereafter. Indicative
of the problem of tailoring Attache instruction for special cases: The
class now totals 50, down from a peak of 77.
5. ~ ::1 seemed quite pleased with his "take" from

7. Present DIS strength is 97 allowed, 92 on board. The JCS
manpower team has concluded its survey and seems to be recommending a
total of 100, plus five enlisted guards for night security. The DIA
Comptroller team, anticipating increased responsibilities for DIS, came
up with a recommended strength of 120 plus. One course the latter team
wanted was a "DIA Indoctrination." Unknown even to the Registrar, the
DIC course chairman has given such a course in the past and will do so
again next week. The 21-hour program is attached.
