ANNUAL REPORT
Office of Training
Fiscal Year 1972
a. OTR, in coordination with the Director of the Office of
Economic Research conducted a seminar on the New Directions in CIA's
Support of U. S. International Economic Policy. The Seminar was the
first of its kind and was given for an audience of 320 Agency employees.
It was held on 30 May in the Auditorium at Headquarters.
b. The purpose of this Seminar was to provide an orienta-
tion for collection officers, research analysts outside of OER who deal
with economic intelligence as part of their work, and officers in elements
which support production. Coverage included a presentation by the D/OER
on the background of the economic problems of the U. S. , the emphasis
being given by U. S. policy makers to international economic questions,
and the increased demands for intelligence support. A panel of repre-
sentatives from IRS, DCS, FI Staff, and the Department of State spoke
on the response of collectors to the new emphasis on economic intelligence.

(2) This memorandum came at a time when the value
of the U. S. dollar was falling in world money markets, and shortly be-
fore President Nixon announced Phase I of his economic program. As
a result of these and other developments, the Director of the Office of
Economic Research received requests to produce studies on subjects
bearing on U. S. international economic policies. (Many of the requests
were levied by the President's Council on International Economic Policy.)
(3) In February, a representative from OTR met with
the D/OER to discuss the DTR's proposal to conduct a seminar on
economic intelligence. Thereafter brief meetings were held to deter-
mine the content of the Seminar. By April final arrangements were
agreed upon and the first seminar was conducted from 0900-1230 hours
on Tuesday, 30 May 1972. The Office of Training provided support to
the Seminar, including publication of a Special Bulletin (7-72) announcing
the program and handling the registrations for it.
a. Training for Agency Personnel
(1) The developing role of the Agency as well as its coor-
dination responsibilities and problems relating to narcotics intelligence were
introduced into several of the courses OTR conducts for Agency personnel.
By name, the courses are the Chiefs of Station Seminar, Counterintelligence
Operations, Operations Support, the Basic and Advanced Operations Courses,
the Midcareer Course, and the CIA Senior Seminar.
(2) A senior instructor from OTR served on a Working Group
chaired by the Deputy Director of Personnel and comprised of representatives
from the Offices of Medical Services and Security, and an officer from the
Clandestine Service. The group, holding its first meeting on 15 May, and in
subsequent meetings, developed a seminar on drug abuse for employee-parents
scheduled within the immediate period for assignments overseas. (The first
seminar was conducted on 12 July, with others scheduled through August.)
OTR's responsibility is to moderate each session and to process registrations.
b. Training for Non-Agency Personnel
(1) OTR's involvement centered around contact with the Bureau
of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) and, more recently, with the Bureau
of Customs. The activities of both agencies during this fiscal year reflected
priority attention to expanding their capabilities overseas. This development
involved OTR's assistance mainly because both Bureaus, particularly BNDD,
were interested in developing a more professional capability in clandestine

agent operations overseas. OTR responded to two formal requests: In April
1972 a one and one-half day series of briefings was given at BNDD Headquarters
for 18 Regional Intelligence Officers then stationed in the United States and
Mexico. The briefings were conducted by officers from OTR, the DDI, and
CI Liaison, and were an introduction to intelligence activities, in-
cluding processing and production. Brief coverage of basic operational con-
cepts included group discussions on narcotics intelligence responsibilities
over seas.
The second briefing was given in May for 25 Bureau of
Customs agents, also scheduled for overseas assignments. This was a one-
day program and the content was basically the same as that in the aforementioned i
April program.
c. Ahead: Changing Emphasis
(1) It is expected that he next audience for the Seminar s-
will be employees stationed at Headquarters. Plans also include OTR's film-
ing the presentations presently being given by Agency speakers. As appropriate,
OTR will use the film in its courses.
The Working Group also is considering arranging a joint
program with the Department of State and Defense for adolescent children
proceeding overseas with their employee-parents. The extent of OTR's role
in this program is undetermined.
(2) Training of BNDD and Customs personnel in clandestine
operational techniques has been comparatively limited. It is likely that these
agencies may request something more akin to purely covert training, at least
for selected officers. Otherwise it appears that the Joint International Narcotics
Control Training Program, which is being developed, will be handled primarily
by the Foreign Service Institute and will meet most of the training needs of
personnel, from these agencies. OTR, in cooperation with the Clandestine
Service, will contribute to the effort as required.
d. Brief History
(1) OTR's involvement with matters relating to narcotics
intelligence began shortly after the President announced in 1969 that narcotics
was a matter of foreign policy and identified responsibilities within the
Intelligence Community. In November 1969 the Director of the Bureau of
Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) requested that CIA provide guidance
and instruction to BNDD officers primarily on the development of clandestine
agent and informant operations abroad. Since the training capabilities and

25X1A
25X1A
more precise needs of BNDD were not known, the Director of Training
recommended that an Agency officer make a survey in order to gain this
background. BNDD agreed and in March 1970 an OTR officer, - 25X1A
spent three weeks at BNDD on this task.
(2) It became clear that BNDD would require assistance
in all aspects of tradecraft training in order to develop viable, long-range
clandestine operations and that this could not be accomplished by briefings
and other short-term programs of instruction, or with existing BNDD
resources. No specific Agency assistance was detailed, however, and
there was no immediate BNDD response to the survey. The apparent con-
sensus within CIA was that our assistance would be limited to ad hoc support
to help meet their developing needs and with no intention of getting deeply
involved, at least at that time.
(3) Meanwhile, in October 1970 OTR organized a two-day
seminar on narcotics and drugs for CIA employees. The briefing was given
by BNDD officers in the Main Auditorium for approximately 500 employees.
There were no further developments involving OTR until November 1971
when CIA Liaison, received a request from the Acting
Chief, Strategic Intelligence Office, BNDD, for basic tradecraft instruction
for four to five officers scheduled for overseas assignments. The request
was withdrawn shortly thereafter without explanation. The following month,
December 1971, BNDD submitted a request for assistance in training selected
officers in "intelligence operations." After discussions with BNDD officers
their desires were more clearly identified and on 24 and 25 April 1972 a
DDP-approved briefing was held at BNDD Headquarters for 18 Regional
Intelligence Officers. The briefing was essentially an "Introduction to
Intelligence" supplemented by very basic coverage of clandestine operational
concepts and some discussion of narcotics intelligence responsibilities.
(4) In response to a memorandum of recommendation from
the Executive Director of the Cabinet Committee on International Narcotics
Collection (CCINC) officers from OTR, DDI and CI/Liaison provided about
eight hours of briefing on 23 and 26 May 1972 to 25 Bureau of Customs officers
scheduled for assignment overseas. The briefing was inserted into a three-
week FSI-? sponsored program and was essentially a concentrated version of
coverage provided in the briefing of BNDD officers in April. The same
,CCINC recommendations have resulted in assignment of responsibility to
the Director of the Foreign Service Institute to provide a training program
for BNDD and Customs officers on a scheduled basis.

(5) Chronology and Archival Documents appear in
a. OTR's support to programs being conducted in Southeast
Asia in Fiscal Year 1972 is represented in the statistic that eight instructors
completed TDY assignments and three were PCS to the area. Most of the
assignments involved tradecraft training. Some were involved in conducting
operations.
b. OTR conducted six runnings of the Vietnam Paramilitary
Operations Course for 104 Agency employees. The course is primarily one
of weapons familiarization and mapping.
D. CIA In the Intelligence Community
1. Three activities within the Office of Training were in support
to the Intelligence Community: Specialized operations training, briefings
on CIA and its role in the Community, and the present plan to establish an
Information Science Training Program.
a. Defensive Driving
(1) Five Secret Service officers and five officers from
the Department of State participated in one of nine one-day presentations
25X1A of Defensive Driving techniques. The instruction given at the
25X1A included the nature of the thrust stemming from increased
incidents of vehicular kidnapping, particularly in Latin America, and a
demonstration of and practice in application of the techniques of defensive
driving.
Of Note: Vietnam Operations/FE Division included in-
struction on Defensive Driving, using the film primarily, in presentations
at the Vietnam Training Center of the Foreign Service Institute.
(2) Ahead
It is expected that requirements for this instruction
will increase moderately. (Department of State has already requested training
in defensive driving for 12 of its officers. )

25X1A
In the spring of 1970 the Director of Training received
a request from Chief, WH Division for the training of selected personnel in
the use of firearms for personal defense. Study of case histories of success-
ful attacks by terrorists showed that they commonly employed from one to
three carloads of heavily armed men against an individual victim. In search-
ing for some method of reducing these heavy odds, OTR instructors made
several tests, using U. S. Government salvage vehicles, in an endeavor to
ascertain the feasibility of breaking through a roadblock by 25X1A
attacking vehicles. These preliminary tests indicated that
this was possible and further testing was undertaken. By November 1970
a sufficient body of experience had been gathered and a paper on "Countering
Vehicular Kidnapping" was published. Since that time instruction in "Defensive
Driving Techniques" has been presented as a regularly scheduled course5tXoA
Agency personnel and special training has been given to selected individuals
from the Secret Service and the Department of State.

The level of support with respect to this specialized
training is not expected to increase significantly.

d. Briefings
In FY 72, briefings covering the organization of the
Community, CIA and its role in it, the National Security Council, various
phases of the intelligence process, China, .communism, and the USSR
were given in 90 separate sessions for audiences totaling 2600 employees
from the Department of State, including AID, DOD, the Bureau of Customs,
and the BNDD. Most of the briefings were for students in classes conducted
at their facilities. Individual briefings of U. S. officials are included in the
total figure.
In addition, OTR provided support to 15 programs conducted
at CIA's :Headquarters for 500 representatives from State and Defense. Most
of the programs involved CIA's participation at the Deputy Director level.
2. Information Science Training Program
a. In FY 72 executive responsibility for the USIB-sponsored
Information Science Program, formerly under the Defense Intelligence Agency
was assumed by CIA. OTR had responsibility for negotiating the action.
In the last 60 days of FY 72 negotiations were completed with the Director
of the Defense Intelligence School for the use of their facilities in FY 73.
CIA will jointly staff the faculty with NSA and DIA, under
OTR's management. The new program, consisting of three courses, will
begin in September. Courses will be open to USIB members.
Guidance provided by the Executive Director-Comptroller
suggests the desirability of bringing the program on CIA premises in FY 74,
giving greater emphasis to the needs for the training of CIA personnel.

c. Brief History
(1) A PFIAB memo to the President on 15 June 1965
stressed the need for improvement in the storage and retrieval of the
intelligence product and recommended the training and retraining of
personnel engaged in information-handling activities and in systems think-
ing and systems skills, suggesting that both senior administrative personnel
and more junior operating people should acquire new abilities and attitudes
to discharge the responsibilities associated with the enormous file and
distribution system of the Intelligence Community.
(2) In March 1967 in his memorandum to the Secretary of
Defense, the DCI requested DIA to develop specialized courses for personnel
of the Intelligence Community. It requested development of specialized
courses by DIA, starting in FY 69.
(3) And a directive in December 67 established the Infor-
mation Science Center at its Defense Intelligence School to develop infor-
mation science courses in order to meet the requirements of the Intelligence
Community.
(4) In a memo to the Chairman, USIB, dated 3 February 72,
it was stated that it would be necessary to close the Information Science
Center by 30 June 1972 due to Department of Defense budgetary cuts and
reductions in other resources. It noted that DIA could arrange classroom
space and, faculty offices for a continuing program if other Intelligence
Community members wished to provide funds or personnel.
(5) Mr. Colby, Executive Director-Comptroller, on
23 May 1972, informed DIA that CIA desired to conduct under CIA manage-
ment, various information science courses at the Information Science Center
in FY 1973 pending determination of longer-range requirements and a more
permanent solution, thus accepting the DIA offer of facility support.

II. Major Accomplishments and Failings
D. Support
1. Training
a. CIA Senior Seminar
(1) The CIA Senior Seminar was successfully established
in FY 72. The first was conducted for twenty Agency officers for the nine
weeks from 19 September through 24 November 1971, and the second, also
nine weeks, for nineteen officers from 12 March through 12 May 1972. The
Seminar represented the most advanced training program conducted by the
U. S. Government in the field of intelligence activities, organization and
management and related matters which have a direct bearing on CIA and
U. S. intelligence. The level of the subject-matter was equivalent to that
of the Senior Seminar in Foreign Policy and the National War College.
(2) Recognized academic authorities, top officials from
other government agencies and knowledgeable officers from throughout CIA
were invited to lecture and discuss with the Seminar members a wide variety
of subjects; the scope of each presentation was worked out by the Senior
Seminar Staff/OTR with guest speakers. In selected instances, they were
invited to take part as members of panels. Much of the Seminar learning
also came by means of sharing of knowledge and experience by the partici-
pating officers, who ranged from Grade GS-15 through GS-18; through their
exchanges with guest-speakers, staff-led discussions within the Seminar
and smaller groups, work on team problems, and talks to the Seminar by
each participating officer. Films, visits to facilities and to other agencies,
and field trips rounded out the program.
(3) Subject-matter covered included: an initial week
conducted at the on management training; the
missions and tasks of CIA as these are evolving and meeting changing U. S.
requirements; current developments in national security policy, analyses
of and projections for major foreign countries and critical overseas areas;
challenges and problems facing top management of CIA and developments
within the Intelligence Community; new analytical methodologies; CIA's
relationships with other parts of government; and changing domestic con-
ditions and trends which impact on CIA.

(4) The two FY 1972 runnings of the Seminar were
subjected to thorough evaluations, as they proceeded and at their con-
clusion, by the Seminar participants. These showed a remarkably solid
consensus that the initial runnings were of high quality, that the objectives
of the Seminar were met and that attendance was worthwhile to the parti-
cipants and of value to the Agency in terms of participating officers' time
and Seminar costs. The feedback was also helpful in identifying areas
which might be improved or changed in order to strengthen the Seminar
in future runnings.
(5) Ahead
At a Deputies Meeting on 7 July 1972, the Executive
Director- Comptroller decided that the Seminar would be run once a year in
January for a group of 25 to 30 officers who have at least one promotion
ahead of them. Participants may be in grades GS-15 and above; attendance
by an officer does not preclude attendance at senior external training programs.
(6) Brief History
After a planning phase which began in January 1971,
the CIA Senior Seminar--a two-month training program for supergrade
and promising GS-15 officers-- was initiated in FY 1972. Prior to running
the Seminar an in-depth analysis of the age, work-experience, job-mobility,
training and other characteristics of CIA's senior officer population was
made. Extensive consultation with officers throughout the Agency on the
needs of our senior personnel subject-matter and resources to be utilized,
was undertaken.
From this preliminary work the objectives of the
Seminar were set forth as follows:
(a) To enable Seminar participants to develop
greater insight into the problems and pressures facing CIA's manage-
ment, the processes of change within the Agency and its external re-
lationships, and developments in American society which are relevant
to CIA as an organization.
(b) To acquaint Seminar participants with current
thinking on U. S. Foreign policy equities and developments abroad which are
the intelligence collection and analysis and covert action targets of CIA.
(c) To provide an opportunity for Seminar partici-
pants to sharpen their management skills and to broaden their understanding
of colleagues and subordinates.

pp ~S'1 ('ACHMENT A
During the planning period, the Senior Seminar Staff
consisting of six officers, a training assistant and a secretary was assembled;
the officers included one on detail from the Clandestine Service, one from
the Science and Technology Directorate and a Career Trainee on interim
assignment. The subject-matter needed to conduct the Seminar was deter-
mined and organized, potential speakers were identified and cleared, and
schedules were prepared. The Seminar suite was designed, furnishings
were ordered and the area occupied with the move into the Chamber of
Commerce Building in late August. In sum, a multiplicity of details in-
volved in launching a new and complex training program such as the Senior
Seminar were worked out, in time for the first session in September.
b. Language Development
(1) In FY 72 the study of foreign languages at and through
the OTR's Language School reached an all-time high of 687. The number
of employees at the School was 558 or an increase of 57 over the previous
fiscal year. Enrollment in the Before-and-After-Hours-Language Training
Program (conducted at various Agency locations) rose to 129, an increase
of 24. Twenty-three languages were studied.
(2) Ahead
What new requirements that may be levied on the
Language School will, in the main, depend on the recommendations emerg-
ing from the Annual Report, FY 72, of the Language Development Committee.
This report to the Director from the DDTR who is Chairman of the
Committee is dated 21 July 1972.
(3) Brief History
Of historical note in FY 72 are the following:
(a) Part-time courses for dependents were introduced:
in French and Spanish.
(b) The study of Russian at the Headquarters Building
was substantially increased by opening programs already organized for two
components (SB Division and the Office of Economic Research) to employees
from other offices.
(c) Vietnamese dropped off dramatically from annual
enrollments of 15-20 students to two students. The Vietnamese faculty was
reduced. Enrollments in Lao and Thai increased steadily during the year.

language courses.
(d) Arabic was dropped from the curriculum of
(e) The cassette loan program, introduced in
FY 71 grew significantly during FY 72. Approximately 220 employees
used cassettes as part of a home-study program.
(f) The language laboratory at Headquarters building
was converted to cassette format.
(g) A series (130) of Lao tapes was produced within
the Language School. It is estimated to be the most comprehensive set
of Lao tapes in the world.
(h) The Language School published two issues of a
new journal, Language Highlights, to stimulate interest in language study
and to publicize the programs of the Agency's Language Development
Committee.
c. Career Training Program (CTP)
(1) During FY 72 the Program Officers on the CTP Staff
brought 69 Career Trainees (CTs) on duty with the Agency, 19 of whom
were recruited for the Class that began in July 1972. Of the 69 there were
47 Externals and 22 Internals.
Fifty-nine CTs completed 113 different interim assign-
ments. The spread among the directorates was: CS-62; Intelligence-40;
Support-7; Science and Technology-3; and the Office of the Director-1.
Forty -four CTs were transferred off OTR's rolls
after having completed their initial formal training and interim assign-
ments. Twenty-four were placed in the CS; 15 in the Intelligence Directorate
and 5 in the Support Directorate.
(2) The most significant advancement in the CTP in FY 72
was the increasing success of the interim assignment phase of the Program.
Beginning with the Class of July 71, the initial formal training of CTs was
reduced by 12 weeks. OTR's Curriculum Council determined that on-the-job
experience would be more profitable in developing fuller understanding of
the Agency's over-all operational activities than classroom lectures and
exercises. Emphasis was thus directed to finding specifically tailored
interim assignments (3 months each) for CTs. Component supervisors,

ATTACHMENT A
it was found, gave fuller support to accepting the trainees for the short-term
and as a consequence of the professional contributions made by the CTs as
a whole, requests for their services exceeded the supply.
(3) Ahead
The CTP Staff, in consultation with supervisors of
the CTs and more often, from discussions with the CTs themselves, have
learned that there may be some need for additional training before interim
assignments begin. This appears to be the case with the External CTs
assigned to the Clandestine Service. If the pattern continues to develop
to indicate that the trainees are insufficiently prepared for this particular
on-the-job training, OTR will reprogram the initial formal phase of train-
ing as necessary.
Beginning in late spring, FY 72, two Program Officers
traveled to California where, in cooperation with Agency recruiters, they
interviewed area applicants for the Program. The effort resulted in a
savings in time for both the applicant and the officer and a savings in
Agency monies. It is expected that much of the initial interviews of CT
applicants will be handled this way in FY 73.
(4) Brief History: (Interim Assignment Phase)
(Please note that the History of the Program through
1965 has just been completed. It is being reviewed for final publication. )
The Interim Assignment Phase of the CTP began in
FY 71 and encountered difficulties in its first year of operation, one
reason being that the objectives were not clearly understood among
supervisors in the components. Since then, and largely with experience,
including feedback from:the CTs and their supervisors, problems are
of no serious magnitude. The plan is receiving strong support throughout
the Agency and is effective as on-the-job training and as the principal
vehicle through which Program Officers determine placement of the
Career Trainees.
d. Training and Personnel Development
(1) During FY 1972, OTR developed, and is about to
publish as part of its new Training Catalog, a plan for systematic use
of training as a major instrument of career planning and personnel develop-
ment throughout the Agency.

(2) Devised by the OTR Curriculum Council at the
suggestion of the Director of Training, this plan or "Profile of Courses"
consists of five categories of training available to Agency managers
and training officers for meeting both the immediate and long-term
training needs of their personnel. Thor include:
(a) the core program of courses providing
coverage on a broad basis of Agency responsibilities, activities, and
problems; matters relating to the intelligence profession and community;
and major international situations and issues. The six courses in this
category are recommended at specific stages of an individual's career,
i. e. , entry-on-duty period and the first five years of employment; the
intermediate period of between 5 and 15 years' employment; and the
senior stage achieved after perhaps 15 or more years of service.
(b) courses in general skills training provided
by the Office of Training for application Agencywide, viz. , effective
writing and briefing, broad managerial and supervisory skills, etc.
(c) specialized skills training conducted by the
Office of Training and by operating components throughout the Agency
to provide or enhance employee qualifications for carrying out specific
functions or tasks as, for example, intelligence collection and production,
finance administration, imagery analysis, operation of communications
systems, etc.
(d) external training, both general and specialized,
at academic institutions, senior service schools, commercial and in-
dustrial facilities, and similar institutions. Training of this type is
available both full-time and part-time.
(e) foreign language training, internal and ex-
ternal, including overseas, to satisfy the extensive needs of Agency
personnel in performance of duties abroad and at Headquarters.
Specific courses and opportunities in each of these
categories are described in detail in the plan developed by OTR.

position on 1 March 1972. He has called upon the Office of Personnel
to provide an overall personnel development plan within the Agency and
directed the Office of Training to integrate its own training profile,
with particular emphasis on management and information science train-
ing, with the personnel development program now under study in the
Office of Personnel. At the same time, Mr. Colby instructed OTR to
incorporate elements of management and information science training
into its core courses so that larger numbers of Agency officers would
benefit from increased knowledge about these fields.
(b) By the close of FY 1972, several steps had al-
ready been taken to implement these directives. OTR has acquired con-
trol of the Information Science Center, described in Major Developments
(D. 3) and is planning to introduce elements from ISC training programs
into three of its courses by end of Calendar 1972 and into at least two others
by the end of the current fiscal year. ISC's basic courses will also be
available to larger numbers of Agency officers than previously, when the
Center was under management of the Defense Intelligence School.
(c) Largely as a result of Mr. Colby's stress
on management training, OTR incorporated two management courses--
the Managerial Grid and the Fundamentals of Supervision and Manage-
ment--into its program of core courses. Additionally, elements of
management training have already been included in other core courses
(Intelligence and World Affairs and the Senior Seminar) and will be
introduced into another (the Midcareer Course) in fall 1972.
and film, was given times to a total of employees, representing
the following major components: O/DCI-1; CS-671; Support-514; Intelli-
gence-42;; Science and Technology-38.
(2) On 9 November 1971 the program was made mandatory
by the Deputy Director for Plans for employees being assigned to field
stations classified B, C, or D in the listing of hazardous areas. The
requirements has come to be applied to employees on TDY. The two
factors brought a sharp increase in both attendance and the number of
presentations of the program. 25X1A
