MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Training
1.1 1 OP, asked AIR for some rush figures
on external training taken by female Agency employees during
the past calendar year. This information was to be used in a
STATINTL meeting on 14 December with Messrs. Colby and Bavis, the EEO.
We provided a rough total (277 instances of training,
or about 10% of the total external training effort), broken down by
these categories: Training Selection Board programs; full-time
academic training of a semester or more; part-time academic;
language; Department of Defense; Interagency programs; short,
specialized courses at private firms; Foreign Service Institute
area seminars; Foreign Affairs Executive Seminar; and ".other."
We did not include, at his request, external training taken by
clerical employees. We also gave him some interesting pro'ectigns
for CY 1973, e. g., women nominees for the National War College,
2. The Officer Training Branch, SAC Hqs., Offutt AFB,
has requested CIA's CY 1973 requirements for the Ballistic
Missile Staff Course by 22 December. They plan to allocate
quotas by 29 December. Since the letter was not received in
AIR until 14 December, we plan to base our reply on CY 1972
usage. After we receive our block quota of spaces, we will
check with past users and Senior Training Officers re any new
or revised requirements for the next year. The funding for this
widely--used course is still in the OTR budget, but effective FY 74
budgeting for it will be decentralized to the users.

3. Five employees will be attending the 2 - 5 January
running of the Advanced Imagery Interpretation Orientation
Course, Offutt AFB. This course ran previously in October
(OBGI, NPIC, OER, OSI employees in attendance) and was the
first of a special series for Intelligence Community personnel
not directly assigned to COMIREX components, but still involved
in the design or implementation of the program, or users of the
end product.
4. TSD is requesting enrollment, through CCS, of an
engineer in a course "Direct Energy Conversion (DEC)," to be
conducted at Arizona State University, 8 - 12 January. Project
engineers in TSD's power sources program must keep updated on
all phases of direct energy conversion. Because of the recent
and rapid growth of DEC, few universities have offered formal
instruction in this area. The course will cover the physical
principles 'underlying all of the conversion devices and present a
unified theory of energy convertors which enables them to be
classified and compared. Tuition for this program is $300.
5. The next Civil Service Commission's Productivity
Management Workshop is scheduled for 5 February. As reported
last week, we had received two nominees - one O/PPB and one
OL, both under cover. This week two additional requests from OL;
both overt.
For the Federal Executive Institute's special Seminar on
Managing Productivity in Government, 22 - 26 January, five CIA
emolovees will attend: STATINTL
6. Status of enrollments for the next Foreign Affairs Executive
Seminar (FAES), 8 January is still at five (DDS-OC, SSS, EUR(S),
and DDI-NPIC, DCS). DDP/TRO informed AIR on 14 December
that he is canvassing all Divisions and hopes to have a CS nominee
for the course.
7. The OER Training Officer requested the extraction of
training on OER personnel --on magnetic tape--from the Agency
Training Record (ATR). While the information is available to
individual offices in hard copy, this is the first time an office has
requested the same information on magnetic tape. We assume this

results from the transfer of a former OCS programmer to
OER. OER is willing to write the program and do the extraction.
We discussed this request with our contacts in OCS and
learned that if OER were to write such a program, OCS would
have to release the entire ATR, which presents security problems.
We have checked with SO/TR and are trying to work out with
OCS the provision of the necessary information to OER, at the
same time observing the security aspects and control of the ATR.
8. Agency Historian, called to say that
the DCI approved, in a conversation with Mr. Colby, a descriptive
brochure as a record of the Cuban Missile Crisis exhibit. We
had previously been charged w,th producing alm.

1. Miidcareer Course
The experimental week on "Management Science for Intelligence"
ended on 8 December with a generally favorable reaction from the
students. Sixteen of the students rated the week as "Good," and
slightly less than half thought the length of the segment was about
right. Most felt that the Management Science field had some appli-
cability to their present or future assignments. Many specific
recommendations were made, however, as to how the course could be
modified to meet better the needs of the Agency and the Midcareerists.
This phase of the course will be repeated in M.C. 435. The Midcareer
staff will be getting together with the Information Science staff soon
to discuss plans for the next running, including changes which might
be desirable.
Despite a few cancellations STA INTL
the three day session went well. Particularly

well received was Richard Solomon, China expert on Kissinger's staff,
who modestly asserted that his major contribution to the Nixon China
visit, was a bit of Chairman Mao's poetry, which the President quoted
at a banquet in Peking.
As a replacement for one of the cancelled speakers,
of OCI and of OTR conducted a lively session on the M.A.G.
program, stressing the interest which Mr. Colby has shown in using
this middle-level advisory group as a management tool.
2. Support to Senior Seminar
Four members of the SIWA staff have been asked to help out with
the third running of the Senior Seminar by acting as backup block managers.

3. Area Roundtable Reviews Orientations for Dependents
For the first time in its 13-year history, the Inter-agency Round-
table for Area Training has devoted a session to reviewing briefing
programs for dependent wives assigned overseas. On 14 December, 12
organizations were represented at this session, which was hosted by
A.I.D. Eight of the Government organizations represented regularly
offer orientations for overseas assignees, including their dependents.
Only four of these organizations could be accommodated for presentations
on their programs, and hence it was agreed to devote another session
to the. same subject in late winter.
found the 14 December meeting highly informative. FSI's
Mrs. Dorothy W. Stansbury, Chairwoman of the Wives' Seminar, described
this two-week program which features about 25 guest specialists and is
scheduled once each month. At Mrs. Stansbury's prompting, she and Marc
plan to meet soon for an informal exchange of ideas and teaching resources.
Mrs. Lois Butterfield made a similar presentation on A.I.D.'s five-day
program for wives.
Bits of information which Marc recorded at this meeting include the
following: A.I.D. spends between $30,000 and $40,000 to prepare and
send -a professional employee with family overseas; A.I.D. maintains
two returnee wives in a consultant status at all times for lending
assistance in its programs; A.I.D. and FSI both estimate that not more
than 25% of their outbound dependent wives of professional employees
attend the orientations; in recent years, Mrs. Stansbury has been extending
direct invitations to Ambassadors' wives to attend and reports that about
150 of these have attended the regular Wives' Seminar thus far.

This was the sixth briefing conducted for special NSA groups
during the past six months, four for Special Research Interns and
two for the AF Junior Officers Council. The SIWA staff has some
reservations as to the usefulness of these briefings, particularly
for the AF junior officers who on both occasions have appeared
generally disinterested in the program presented to them.
7. Covert Tutorial
On Monday, 11 Decemberl handled a one-day tutorial
session in cooperation with OS/ALS for an American non-official cover
asset long stationed in Latin America. He is on temporary assignment
here after which he will presumably return to Latin America. The topics
were:
A.M.: Communism in the Developing Areas and Soviet
Policy in Latin America
P.M.: Communist Tactics, Dissident Communist Parties
and Contemporary Chinese Policy Toward Dissident
Communist Parties.
8. Briefings
On 8 December, at Headquarters, a CIA program was put on for
the 16 members of the current FSI Administrative Operations and
Management Course. pened with a briefing on CIA; followed
by presentations by COMMO, Logistics, Finance, and Cover.
On 11 December, a CIA program was put on for two successive
classes at Yorktown High School in Arlington. In all, some 100
students were in ttendance. ave a short introductory,
showed the film Need to Know," and answered questions. The reception
was good. However, two days later, we took some knocks when a speaker
from the Peace Coalition criticized CIA for its part in the program.
