25X1A9a 1. co-chairme4n.,of the Advanced
Intelligence Seminar, have received DTR's approval of their draft schedule
for AIS No. 2-70. They are contacting inside and outside guest speakers.,
One big fish already landed is Morton Halperin, formerly on Kissinger's t.-'
staff at the White House and now with the Brookings Institution, who
has agreed to speak on "Domestic Priorities and Defense." Another is
Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, Democrat from Hawaii. We will take the class by
bus to Capital Hill on the afternoon of Friday, 17 April.
2. Course critiques from the 70 students in the three Reading
Improvement courses that concluded last week again reflect high interest
25X1A9a and personal benefit from the instruction. However, we are still planning
to have of the Psychological Services Staff, make a more
precise evaluation of these courses.
Following our conversations with Scott Varner, USDA coordinator
for our courses, we have scheduled three more Reading Improvement courses v
25X1A9a to begin on 13 April and end on 14 May -- the last planned for FY 1970
under the contract extension. Last week, - OTR coordinator for
FOIAb3b1 these courses, furnished Larry Levdahl, USDA's reading instructor, with
sample copies of~ and news clippings which we are urging him to
introduce into t e April/May courses.
25X1A9a 3. held post-mortem discussions with the five seminar
section leaders in the Cross-cultural Understanding module of the Intro-
duction to Intelligence course. There was a general feeling that the
film, "Meet the Critic," was not a suitable kick-off for the seminar
discussions and that the panel would need more time to make an effective
contribution. Hence we shall substitute either a portion of our new
videotape of FSI's Jim Bostain or utilize agenda proposals from students
who have experience in foreign areas analysis or have lived overseas.
We also found that our title for this module is ambiguous. One seminar
group discussed cross-cultural understanding as international understanding
(good relations between persons or groups of different nations). We
focus upon the understanding or preception one person has of persons or
problems of other countries. Shifting the title to "Cross-cultural Problems"
may solve the difficulty.

4. in the office of the DD/I, called on Tuesday
25X1A9a to say that the DD/I had decided not to give a series of briefings for
DIAAP analysts. A meeting of with the
FOIAb3d
DIA representatives, , on Friday provided
further details on DI WP wants and needs. Their discussion made it all
the more apparent that what DIA analysts want is ways of making fuller
use of Agency expertise and services. Our guess is that, with cutbacks
in Agency personnel (particularly the major cutbacks in CRS personnel),
the DD/I is unwilling to see a significant increase in requests for coordi-
nation and forA services from DIA. We informed the DIA representatives
FOIAb3d that this request is being taken under advisement by high levels in the
Agency. Meanwhile, we understand that (Director of DIAAP),
FOIAb3d who is the driving force behind the request, is retiring, and General
- director of DIA, will be meeting soon with the DD/I. At that
meeting the problem of analyst-to-analyst contacts may be discussed.
We feel that an alternate way of meeting this expressed need of DIA
analysts is to provide a single liaison point between them and Agency
analysts, to screen out requests-which would put unnecessary loads on
the Agency.

Officers'Intelligence course. introduced the subject of scientific
achievements in space with a special summary film and photographs borrowed

they could get more information. According to escort officer,
the Intelligence School at Holabird has been under continous har hssment
from news media and others in recent months because of the various flaps
involving the U.S. Army.
