COURSE ACTIVITY
to Intelligence and World Affairs
On 13 July, 38 students, including 21 CT's, will begin the five-
week`-integrated IWA. Coursed The first four weeks have been com-
pletely staffed out, The fifth week involves outside speakers and
will take a little longer to complete; a separate schedule for that
week will be issued latero A.11 other administrative arrangements
have been completed. A seminar on developing countries has been
planned for the program. will work with the members
of WA faculty on this problem. The students will be divided into
four groups attending, respectively to Latin America, Southeast
Asian, Sub-Sahara Africa and the Middle East. Each will be assigned
certain reading and topics on which to concentrate, The groups will
be divided into small teams for this concentration. Although the
reading and preparation time is brief it should be possible to con-
centrate in this manner on some of the critical problems facing the
American intelligence officer working these areasm
Intelligence Orientation

merger of Introduction to Intelligence and Introduction to Commu-
nism was held on 8 July. Objectives and content of the new course,
as well as sequence techni ues and management were discussed,

3. Orientation for Overseas
We gained valuable experience in the July 00 for building up
our ladies' session, which is at the heart of AF's recent proposals
concerning this course. On short notice EUR/TRO
provided his wife and a secretary, both with several overseas tours
behind them, as a panel for this session. It ran two hours, at the
end of the two-day program. The two wives and the two secretaries
in this class rated the session useful and clearly needed; two con-
sidered it well handled anal two said it was outstandingm
Our intention is to build up a broad checklist of topics for these
sessions on the basis of demonstrated interest in classes and on the
part of Division training officerso AF urges us to schedule an entire
day for this activity, but we plan to hold it close to two hours until
a need for more time has been demonstratedm
4. Introduction to Communism
The Introduction to Communism class is small but stimulating.
Discussion has been easy and relevant. As noted earlier, we
decided to use the Communist Party front problem with this group
~ r fi as an experiment in group participation. The response to the
~ '''~ problem situation was excellent and the analysis and recommen-
dations indicated a good level of substantive comprehension.
25X1A9a who conducted the problem, felt that it was a real
a dition. to the course. We will include this problem or equivalent
in the future. It was fortunate that this particular problem dealt
25X1A6a with the since it happened that our treatment of
Latin America in this p'r~.ticular session was minimal.

The final Brookings session of the 1969-70 series will be held on
Friday, 17 July. In recent sessions Colonel White has invited the
Legislative Counsel, the General Counsel and the Chief, PPB to
attend one of the luncheons and briefings. This time the Director
of Personnel has been so selected. Several years- ago Bob Wattles
-- while attending a Brookings training program -- was instrumental
in suggesting to Colonel White that the Agency serve as hosts to
these groups; coincidentally, the D/Pers will be in attendance at
the Headquarters session when the cumulative number of business-
men guests reaches the 1, 000 total.

2. On 9 July, Charlie Hall, accompanied b?y a Colonel
William Tallon, both of the staff at the A.rrny War College at
Carlisle, Pennsylvania, visited us. In a telephone conversation
a few weeks ago we had recommended a number of items to Charlie
for student reading. He and Tallon were now interested in more
serious and detailed background reading for the staff members.
We showed them the material we used in the CT program. They
noted the classified items and the books and we provided them
with copies of the unclassified items we have produced or re-
produced with the assurance that they would attend themselves to
gaining reprints where necessary of copyright material. They
were also interested in getting a recommendation for someone t
