1. Complimentary Feedback from Agency Presentations
Several recent Agency spokesmen involved with programs
here at DIS have generated much favorable comment toward the
Agency: (a) General Walters took time to greet personally each
Military Attache and his wife following the Graduation Address
he made on 8 December. The Commandant, the faculty, and
several attaches told me how much the General adds to their
program and the clearer understanding of our Agency's relation-
ships In particular, General Walters
told the audience how much he has learned about the Agency's
responsibilities in the 10 months he has been on the job and he
now knows first hand how professional we are in all aspects. He
made a plea to the Attaches to try to understand the special
(b) an analyst in OSR, did a magnificant job in
describing the various intelligence aspects of the Warsaw Pact and
the intelligence assessment on the Sino/Soviet Border Buildup.
is a. black officer, and in addition to the excellent command
of his subject and its delivery, was a good image of a minority
analyst who made good in CIA. The 118 officers in the DIOC course
were unanimously impressed, and I am conveying these remarks to

Bruce Clarke. (c) We had a superb formal briefing by Miss
a Soviet internal affairs analyst from OCI on the
subject of how an analyst goes about his job. This was one of
the real highlights of the year for this course. The officers
were especially intrigued by the fact that this was a female
spokesman for the Agency. I have engaged only one or two other
women analysts in DIS programs who came close to matching the
standard o presentation.
2. General Walters Asked to Speak to the NSIC
In response to an informal request by DIS authorities, I
have a tentative agreement for General Walters to address the
National Senior Intelligence Course (NSIC) on 13 February. The
NSIC is a 14-week course for officers and civilians at a level just
above our AIS. I was asked byl to draft a letter of
invitation inasmuch as this presentation would address the sub-
stantive and managerial responsibilities of the DCI and DDCI.
This would be the first briefing in this course from the DCI level
since the late General Cabell. Other senior Agency officers will
also speak to NSIC.
3. Speaker Requests Heavy for January-February Dates
I have been completing a master schedule of Agency speaker
and film requests to carry into January, February, and March. For
the three principal courses to be running during this period -- the Joint
Intelligence Course, the National Senior Intelligence Course, and the
Attache Course, the total is 82 presentations. This appears to be the
heaviest commitment of Agency resources for a three-month period
since I have been here. Among the senior officers, in addition to
General Walters, will be Bruce Clarke,
for details. )
and Harry Eisenbeiss (see Projected Activity Schedule
Two visits to Headquarters, Langley, are scheduled -- the
Attaches on 31 January; the NSIC on 13 March. Separate programs
are being prepared for the visits of these senior officer classes.

4. Case Study Still Popular
I have engaged and his popular case
study for the Attache/NSIC classes in March and the DIOC course
in April. George is well-received and in the view of the DIS
faculty makes an educational input that they could experience in
no other way. DIA pays the honorariums.
5. DIA is Commended by Chairman, Joint Chief of Staff
I was given a copy of an internal DIA memo from Lt. Gen.
Deane, Acting Director, who passed on rare praise of DIA's efforts
to all hands. I have attached a copy to this report because I believe
it reflects a new wave of optimism in DIA that they will and can do
better under the new leadership. At least that is how it appears
to me from conversations I have had.
6. Administrative Notes
I hope to take a few days annual leave between the two
holidays -- the only gap in instruction here this winter.
The planning for the first inter-governmental conference
on Instructional Technology (September 1973) is proceeding on course.
I am meeting periodically at CSC headquarters with an evaluation
committee. I'll keep osted on items of Agency interest.
This promises to be a great conference.
