MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Training
SUBJECT : Graduates of the CIA Senior Seminar
1. The Senior Seminars Branch. has compiled a record
of the Agency officers who attended. the first six runnings
of the CIA Senior Seminar from the fall of 1971 through
the fall of 1974. The attachment gives the name of each
participant, component, grade and position at the time he
or she attended, and present grade and position.
2. A total of 117 officers attended the six Seminar
runnings.-four from the Director's area, 28 from the
Administration Directorate; 34 from the intelligence
Directorate; 26 from the aerations Directorate; and 25
from the Directorate of Science and Technology. Since the
time of their enrollment in, the Senior Seminar, 36, or 30
percent, have been promoted, includin four from GS-1S to
GS-17 and one from GS-16 to GS-t 18. Eight of the participants
subsequently retired from the Agency and one resigned to
enter his family's business.
3. The members of the six Senior Seminar classes
have displayed substantial job mobility since attending
the Seminar. Sixty-nine, or SO percent, are now assigned
to a different position than they held when they began the
Seminar. Of these, 23 also changed components in which they
were working prior to attendance ('excluded are those who
have gone from an area division to an overseas station
belonging to that division). Three Seminar members now
occupy the position of component chief (office director);
nine are working at the deputy component chief level, and
ten are serving in the field in the position of COS, DCOS
or COB.
4. Taking the six classes as a whole, I would submit
that this is an impressive, record. I would not, on the
other hand, suggest that attendance in the CIA Senior
Seminar was in itself a cause for either promotions or job

changes. Given the Seminar alumrti*s record of mobility
among jobs and up the grade ladder, I believe it reasonable
to conclude that the selection of members has worked well
and that generally officers with significant potential have
been picked to attend the Seminar.
