1. Admiral Raborn's Visit to Admiral Raborn's visit to the
_on 23 March went along beautifully -- with clock-work precision
from arrival to departure. The Admiral addressed the combined student
body and made a tour of the Station; he saw demonstrations -- spent three
hours with TSD in the morning. There- were quite a number of senior
DDP officers there. Bannerman was pleased with the whole show, as was
and staff did extremely well and
did his part from up here.

2.. NIS. Mr. Richardson stated that we should make the nominations for
the next NIS which begins 2 May. Ambassador Kidder had become
dissappointed with the nominations of CIA and the State Department. The
Agency is determined to put the right people in the course. The CIA
officers currently at the NIS are well qualified, DTR mentioned that
President Kennedy had wanted to make sure that officers who were going
to underdeveloped posts should have a little bucking-up within the frame-
work of the brief time that there is to do it, so this course was set up
for people occupying key posts to give them the essentials of insurgency
and counterinsurgency. Despite the fact that some think the course has
its faults, the DTR is sure they can learn something from it. He knows
of no one effort that provides what this one does.
3. Inter-agency Roundtable. DTR noted that had attended a 25X1A'
recent Inter-agency Roundtable. Mr. Richardson would like to have DDTR
or attend; Jim might go along with Tom in the future for a 25X1A
while.

used for NPIC. He suggested we keep in mind retirees for this
kind of contract work.
5. Clandestine Services Review Course, We are now admitting GS-08s
and 09s in this course and the DTR wondered if this was wise. Intelligence
Review does not go below 13s and 14s. CS Review has been a rather
senior course, is endorsin a GS-09; Mr. Richardson has
no objection to an occasional exception. The DTR asked to 25X1A
talk wit on this.
6. Area Orientation. In response to Mr. Richardson's request as to where
we stood on this subject, replied that if we are going to put
out a staff study, our present investigation is not adequate to go back to
Helms. The paper is in the hands of at this time, The DTR
wondered if we shouldn't send an interim note to Helms,
expressed the thought that after a more intensive's,urvey the conclusions
would probably be the same as they are now. The present conclusions are
based on 8 to 10 contacts. Helms may consider that is not a very careful
survey of the situation. Mr. Richardson said-may ask the Division
Chiefs how they feel about area orientation. Basically the DTR believes
rea orientation is the responsibility of the; Division and specifically of the
'ranch and the individual, Richardson asked
Army Film, "Why Vietnam. " The Department of the Army has a new,
2-minute film, "Why Vietnam. " DTR suggested we might look into this
film which is reported to be very good and very current,

ing was limited to answering Bannerman's questions and what OTR is going
to do in response, The DDS representative on the Language Training
Committee will be either Echols o DTR said we should make

Building Program. The first part of the DDS Meeting was taken
by in discussing the building program. As far as OTR
is concerned, for the future it looks as though we may move from 1000
Glebe to still another public building, did not mention anything 25X1A
about our At Langley we will be getting
additional acreage (around 125 acres) from Public Roads, No mention
was made of an academic building, neither were the occupants of any
new complex named. They are now gathering space requirements and 25X1A
this is a slow process. (OTR Meeting; said that along
about next January he would look for space and that he has heard nothing
about the plan to move in March 68, )
d. Tax Bill of 1966. talked about the tax bill of 1966.
This does not increase the tax rate but increases the rate of withholding.
Presently the rate withheld is 14 to 20 percent; in the future it will be 14
to 30 percent. Married persons will have less withheld than single persons.
This will be effective for all salaries paid on or after 1 May. Everyone
must file a new W-4 Form and if you fail to file it your withholding will
be as large as that for a single person. The new withholding rates will be
reflected in the May 6 check, There will be an Employee Bulletin on this
and the Forms will be coming out next week. Every employee is to read
this Bulletin.
e. President Johnson's Memo on 1966 Budget Expenditures. This
memorandum warns against expecting any year-end funds. According to
Bannerman there will be no year-end funds to dish out. (OTR Meeting:
DTR reported that OTR will be having budget hearings with Bannerman
on Monday regarding the Program Call for 67. The question is what
will we do if we don't get any additional funds for 67 in terms of people
and money, )
f. Security Violations. Security violations reached an all-time high
of 12 violations, of which OTR had one.
g, Home Leave, reported State is limiting home leave
to 15 days "for people who return to U. S. PCS. We will apply that Agency-
wise. If you are coming back, not to return to your post, your home leave
is reduced to 15 days. GAO thinks a person should have no home leave.
State rejects that view; however, if involuntary retirement is coming up
within one year after the officer is returned he won't get the 15 days. We
will probably follow this rule.

e. A number of ph sical moves are now beginning in the DDP, the
most drastic of which i for six months. Various
other elements will be moved about the Headquarters Building and after
six months will return to Headquarters, this time in the immediate
WH area.
f. In line with the advent of the era of computers, the DDP has been
asked to nominate two officers to attend computer school. Initial survey
showed that none of the old hands would be able to understand the
mathematics involved, and that the DDP will probably look to a couple
of CTs to satisfy this requirement.

up during the DDP's recent absence in Africa. None seemed to have very
exact information on this subject.
j. The DDP remarked that the 303 Committee's IN box seemed to
be piling up higher and higher. Discussion indicated that the problem
results from the current lack of a chairman. Possibly with the shift of

student's own government was having him followed but assured 25X1A
him that no one from our government was.

We have asked the Office Heads to participate by assigning their Support
Chiefs or a senior officer to help work up the program. It will become
more a review, similar to the CS Review, rather than an orientation. It
will be for people who have been in the DDS for a number of years. If it
is arranged for t could include two evenings at
Mr. Richardson agreed that it should include the evenings if the aim is to
integrate the people.
16. CT Program. reported that the April class has leveled off
at 48 members which means a "short-fall" of seven. The future looks

college) to go in as junior reports officers, particularly those who may
end up going to the DDP.
