the docket.
3. Upward Trend in 00 Enrollment
Attendance at the November Orientation for Overseas totaled 18,
whereas no classes were run in November in the three prior years
for lack of registrations. Registrations to date in FY 1973 total
46, up 800% over the comparable period for the past two years (25 in
each year). For FY 1972, the total was up 50% over the prior year.
We find that this substantial increase in support of the 00 over
the past 18 months has come mainly from TSD, WH, NE, and FE. As
previously reported, AF resumed registrations in this course in
October this year after a lapse of several years. Fluctuations
in registrations from a given component are usually attributable
to the discretionary authority of the person at the working level
who is processing PCS assignees at a given time.

4. IWA Concluding
This :Last week of the Intelligence and World Affairs (IWA)
course has been devoted as in the past to consideration of
intelligence problems in the Third World and to work emphasizing
participation such as student projects and area seminars. The
student projects covered quite a range -- from war games to
cultural adjustments to Asian living. Although the quality of
presentation varied, there was substance throughout.
6. Questionnaire for Former AIS Students Who Attended Senior Schools
In response to a request from the Office of the DDS, a
questionnaire is being sent to all former AIS students who subse-
quently attended non-Agency senior schools. The basic purposes of
the questionnaire are: (a) To determine the value of the AIS as
preparation for their participation at the senior schools; (b) To
get a reading on the relative value of the AIS compared with a
special three-day course (Special Program for Agency Reps to
Senior Officer Schools) designed specifically for such purpose;
and (c) To solicit guidance for developing more effective courses
for students going to non-Agency senior schools.
7. Computerized Bibliographies of Value to OTR
I of CRS, is in charge of briefing Agency people on, and
demonstrat ng the use of, ERIC and MEDLINES, two computerized
bibliographies sponsored by HEW (covering educational topics) and
by National Library of Medicine, respectively. These two programs
are available for Agency use until the end of November without cost.
as visited Jack twice to get bibliography runs on
orientation training and motivational training, to test the system.
Jack uses a teletype terminal to query the two bibliographies,
and the computer sends back one or more of the following: (a) an
indication of the number of bibliographic citations under a specific
topic or under two or more topics, (b) lists of titles of articles
and books indexed under the specified topics, and (c) abstracts of

articles and books indexed under the specified topics. If
desired, Jack can also request the system to print out the
abstracts and send them to the requester's home by mail.
8. 0 TV Debut Nixed
The Executive Director has turned down the recommendation of
Angus Thuermer, Special Assistant to the DCI, that 0 be
permitted to accept an invitation to appear on a Canadian TV
documentary series on the life and work of Sir William S.
Stephenson. Mr. Colby has, however, authorized Tom to meet or
talk with the TV producer, Mr. William Stevenson, on an off the
record and unclassified basis. Tom has also been given tentative
approval to write a foreword for The Two Bills by Col. C. H. Ellis.
9. Professional Trainers' Workshop
STATINTL In last week's three-day Professional Trainers' Workshop in
Boston, found much of value on course design, evaluation,
and instructional techniques. He was frustrated by the tendency of
some of the staff to turn workshop problem approaches into lectures
on their pet theses. The informal sharing of problems with class-
CT4TInITI mates proved almost as valuable as some of the formal sessions.

compare notes on direct applications to SIWA needs. They will give
STATINTL a full discussion during the forthcoming SIWA planning meeting at

External Briefings
a. On 3 November, at Headquarters, participated
in a CIA program sponsored by the Office of Personnel for some
25 young women from the Bradford Secretarial School in Pennsylvania.
b. On Monday, 6 November, gave a lecture at the Army
War College on the Economy of China. Bob thinks the talk was of
dubious value, given the varied audience of 250 and the short time
(20 minutes) for the presentation. His talk may have been of some
use as an introduction to the fine presentation on science and
technology in China byl of OSI which was the main theme
of the morning. The seminar discussions which followed, and in
which Bob and Julian participated, were good.
c. On 7 November, at Beltsville, poke on CIA at
the dinner meeting of the Beltsville Lions Club. Some 30 members
were in attendance.
d. On 8 November spoke to the 34+ members of the DIS
Attache class on the Communist movement today, and on Communism
in Developing nations.
