SUBJECT Course Report - Midcareer Course No. 51,
17 March - 23 April 1976
1. Introduction and Summary
Midcareer Course No. 51 was held during the period from
17 March to 23 April 1976. It was considered a successful
running and was assigned an average overall grade of 5.2 by
the class on a scale from one to seven. This was a typical
class in virtually all respects and had a composition
si ilar to that of previous courses. Only two items marred
an otherwise smooth and successful running--a high rate of
s eaker substitutions and a poor student reaction to an
ex erime al class project. Except for the project, class
participation was excellent and the students seemed to be
more cohesive than usual. Suggestions for improving the
course included changing classrooms at M having more
tours, improving the quality of some speakers, getting
others to appear when scheduled, and eliminating the class
project. The morale of the class seemed good and they did
not show any particular concerns about the Agency or their
future. There were no major problems or recommendations
concerning; the running of the course.
2. Course Objectives
In general, the students felt that the course objectives
were met. Overall, the course was rated an average of 5.2
(range 4-7) in the student evaluation forms on an ascending
scale of from 1 (low) to 7 (high). Of the three phases,

 Approved For Release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP80-0053.6A000400110001-9
Phase I rated the highest with an average of 5.2 (ranging
from 4-6). Both Phases II and III were rated at 4.8 (both
ranged from 2-6). Phase III probably would have rated
somewhat higher except some of the students said they graded
.it down because of the class project (despite the fact that
the project had a separate evaluation sheet). The class
project received the lowest score with an average of 2.0
(ranging from 1-4). It is discussed in detail below.
Class Composition
The composition of this class was similar to that of
25X1A
other recent runnings of the course--31 total students, 10
from the DDO, 7 each from the DDA and the DDI, 6 from the
DDSIT, and 1 from the DCI area. The averages were also
similar--12.7 for grade (ranging from GS-12 to GS-1,4), age
averaged 38.3 (ranging from 32-53 and the average years on
board was 12.2 (ranging from 4 years). The only deviation
from the norm was two students who were over 50 years of
age, considerably above the average.
4. Course Strengths
a. The obvious and primary strength of the course was
the chance it provided for the students to interact with the
speakers, to give and take with them, to learn about the
functions of the Agency and the Intelligence Community and
about major aspects of international affairs. The high
point was the class meeting with the Director of Central
Intelligence, Mr. Bush. He spent approximately 45 minutes
with the class, talking for about 30 of those minutes and
answering questions the rest of the time. His talk was
rather chatty, focusing on the good work the Agency is
doing, the high caliber of its people and some remarks on
his relations with Congress.
b. During Phase I, the speakers who seemed to be well
received by the class were John Tams, the opening speaker
who presented an overview of intelligence and the role the
Comptroller plays in the process, on the Freedom
of Information Act, on Security, Omego Ware
on E ual Employment Opportunity, on China
, David Blee on the Operations Directorate,
Ernest Zellmer on the Office of Weapons Intelligence,
Harry Eisenbeisson the Central Reference Service, and

5. Course Weaknesses
a. Only two weaknesses marred an otherwise successful
and smooth running of the course--excessive speaker sub-
stitutions and a disappointing class reaction to the Mid-
career Project. The rate of speaker substitutions was
perhaps not as great in fact, compared to previous runnings
of the course, as it was magnified in the minds of the
students. Most of the substitutions occurred during the
first phase which focused their attention on the problem.
There was very little substituting later in the course.
Overall, nearly 20 percent of the speakers sent substitutes.
During Phase I, however, when a majority of the speakers
were scheduled (37), 24 percent sent substitutes. The high
25X1A rate during the first phase can be partially explained by
the fact that a number of Deputy Directors from the various
offices were already at in the Levinson Seminar.
As a result, many of the office directors were reluctant to
be away while their deputies were also absent. The rest of
the substitutions can probably be explained by the contin-
gencies that normally occur and prevent a speaker making his
appointment. Only two speakers in each of the two remaining
phases sent substitutes (12 were scheduled in Phase II and
19 in Phase III). The class's feelings in this regard were
exacerbated by the fact that only one of the Deputy Directors
(Dr. Proctor) met with the class. The rest sent their
Associate Deputy Directors. The effect of all this was to
make the class feel like the Midcareer had become a second
class course and no longer had a top priority with the
office directors.

b. The second weakness was the poor class reaction to
the Midcareer Project. The project proceeded smoothly
enough in terms of execution, but the student response was
unenthusiastic. Briefly, the project consisted of a series
of questions which were designed to include areas of intere&t
to the Intelljg ncee Communi and which were covered during
the course. It was intended to give the students a chance
to express their views on these subjects as opposed to the
speaker's opinions. The students were divided into six,
five-person teams and each team was to present a report on
one question of their choosing followed by a discussion
period.
c. Other than the team reports, there was very little
class participation during the project. Rather than accepting
the project as an assignment and trying to do the best they
could, the class seemed to have conspired to ensure that it
would fail. All efforts of the staff to get it moving fell
on deaf ears. The class balked primarily because they felt
that the questions had already been thoroughly covered by
the speakers and were not worth considering again.
d. Although the class appeared to oppose the project
virtually unanimously, the intensity of their feelings
seemed to be exacerbated by two things--a feeling of pique
over not having a field trip and the apparent efforts o~'one
of the students to sabotage it. The fact that they were
upset over not having a field trip was not particularly
evident in the evaluation forms, but it came through loud
and clear in the oral discussion sessions with the class.
It was mentioned to the class during these sessions that the
field trip was abolished because of the poor student response
to it. Armed with this knowledge, the class seemed determined
to ensure that the project would also be abolished because
of a poor response.
e. The negative feelings toward the project were
further heightened by the second element--the apparent
effort of one of the students to sabotage it. He was bright,
articulate and commanded a good deal of influence with the
students. His efforts were not obvious and were carried out
behind the scenes. Only upon reflection after the event did
his impact become apparent. In retrospect, however, it was
clear that he was strongly opposed to it from the beginning
and said so frequently to the other students. He organized
a special discussion session between the class and staff
Approved For Release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP80-00536A000400110001-9
 Approved For Release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP80-005"A000400110001-9
during which the staff was asked to explain (again) why
there was no field trip and to justify (again) the project.
It seems clear, in retrospect, that this session could have
served no useful purpose except to bolster his ego and to
focus discontent onto the project. Finally, when it was his
team's turn to report on their question during the project,
they made no attempt to address it but rather presented a
series of academy award-type ceremonies in a humorous way to
the class. The staff had no warning that this was under
way. It appears that this student's actions served to take
the negative feelings that existed and direct them to a
higher level than otherwise would have been the case. The
project probably would have fared much better if it were not
for these efforts of a natural leader to undermine it.
25X1A
6. Student Participation
Overall, class participation quickly reached a high
level and remained there throughout the course. This has
been one of the liveliest classes in recent memory. With a
majority of the speakers, the level of student questions
remained high throughout the scheduled period and many
periods could have run overtime easily. This high level of
participation seemed to result from a combination of the
times (in the aftermath of the congressional investiga-
tions), a high level of cohesiveness among the class members,
and a high level of rapport between the class members and
the two chairpersons. This combination seemed to create a
climate that was very conducive to lively interchanges
between the speakers and the class and among the class
members themselves. In other words, the question-and-answer
sessions were more like seminars, with give and take on both
sides, rather than the usual lecturer-listener relationship.

class, virtually unanimously, felt that Arena A was superior
to classroom 11 at ~ Because of a conflict with the
Levinson Seminar, this runnin was held in Arena A for the
first of its two weeks at and in classroom 11
during the second week. The course cochairmen agree with
25X1A the assessment that Arena A is superior. It is better in a
variety of ways--lighting, ventilation, eye contact among
the students and with the speakers, visibility of slides and
vu-graphs, and physical comfort. The use of the Arena would
have the further advantage of eliminating future conflicts
with the Levinson Seminar over the use of classroom 11. The
only drawback, not considered serious, is the lack of an
office with a telephone for the staff to use in the Arena.
b. Second, the class felt that, if there are no field
trips, there should be more tours to break up the routine
and that those tours (OTS, Operations Center, and NPIC) they
did have should allow more time. These suggestions are
worth considering and could be done easily, particularly if
the class project is dropped and the time used for expanding
the tours? Some of the suggested additional tours (all
local) include the National Military Command Center, the
National Security Agency, the State Department, and some
magazine's Washington Bureau such as U.S. News and World
Report.
c. Third, many students felt that a third week at
would have been beneficial, either by scheduling the first
three weeks there or returning there ( for the
final week of the course. Although this class seemed to
prefer this proposal, it has not been echoed by previous
classes. In some of the other groups, there were always
those who thought that even two weeks away from home was too
much.

8. Student Concerns
There did not seem to be any major concerns which were
bothering the students. This is probably a reflection of
the fact that the results of the congressional investi-
gations do not appear to be having any significant impact on
their careers. Morale among the students seemed to be much
improved over morale among students in earlier runnings of
the course. The only subject which was mentioned repeatedly
was The speakers, of course, were not
able to discuss this so the issue died.

9. Problems
No major problems developed during this running of the
course.
10. Recommendations
There are no major recommendations to be made, but a
critical look should be taken at the Midcareer Project to
ensure that it continuously meets the objectives it is
supposed to accomplish and remains relevant to the needs of
both management and the students. On the specific subject
of the Midcareer Project, it was previously decided that
this schema would be tried for three runnings of the course
before a decision was made concerning its future. It has
now been run twice and the results have been, at best,
mixed. Perhaps Midcareer Course No. 52 will give us a
Ilea er perception of whether the project should remain as
an integral part of the course.
Among the suggestions made by the students in this
running for improving the course were: replacing the project,
expanding the individual student presentations to one hour
rather than the current half hour, shortening the course,
using a political or war game that requires direct student
participation, having a series of shorter trips in the
Washington area, and including the Organization Game as a
regular part of the course. All of these merit serious
consideration and will be discussed at the annual Midcareer
Conference this summer.

MIDCAREER COURSE
The Midcareer Course was started in 1963 to provide
an opportunity for promising, middle-level officers to
broaden their professional horizons. The Course has
become well-known throughout the Agency as an important
aspect of career development as well as a forum for the
exchange of views between senior managers from many com-
ponents of CIA and course participants.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Midcareer Course members are expected to:
1. Gain a fairly detailed understanding of
the Agency, its components and issues of
current concern to Agency management.
2. Achieve a broad grasp of the other elements
of the Intelligence Community and the policy
making process.
3. Obtain insight into selected national and
international developments that bear on
the U.S. foreign intelligence effort.
PHASES
The Midcareer Course is divided into three phases
which in succession emphasize each of the three objectives.
You should, however, keep in mind that the range of subject
matter covered in each of the phases contributes to the
attainment of all three objectives.

PHASE I--THE AGENCY
The Course,opens with an examination of the organization, mission,
role, and functions of the Central Intelligence Agency. Most of
you have spent your careers in one Directorate,- some in one office
or division, and even a few in one branch9 therefore, our objective
in this Phase is to open up the Agency to your critical inspection,
to broaden your perspectives on the operations of other offices and
Directorates, and to offer you new insights into how your job relates
to the larger picture of the intelligence process.

Block I--Mutual Perceptions:
The Agency and Us
In the first Block of this Phase you will consider how you, as
Midcareerists, see yourselves as employees and how you view the
Agency. You will have an opportunity to discuss mutual problems
and to suggest solutions. This evening, a senior officer will
discuss his functions as a member of the management echelon and
how he accomplishes his managerial responsibilities. He will also
talk about the recent changes in our charter and how they will
affect the Agency. Finally, those officers concerned with the
Agency's legal, legislative and media relationships will discuss
their perceptions of the problems that face the Agency today.
0910-1200 Team Exercise: Midcareerist Obstacles
This team exercise is designed to bring our collective thoughts,
as a class, to bear on problems that we have individually perceived
at one time or another. We want to identify and clarify obstacles
that intrude upon individual career development or on the realization
of Agency missions. We will then seek to formulate or suggest ways
of overcoming them. The exercise should surface and bring into focus
shared individual concerns and concerns about the Agency that we may
explore throughout the entire five weeks.

PHASE III--WORLD AFFAIRS
The international environment within which the Agency operates has
undergone some important.ohanges in recent years. National security
as a national objective 'has required-some redefinition; whereas the,
Soviet threat remains paramount,.. new'powers.and threats are emerging.
It is the purpose of Phase III to bring you. up-to-date on both the
continuing and new national. concerns as affected by world develop-
ments, and to suggest the impact: of such developments upon the work
of the Agency.
Block I=-The Strategic Threat
One of the major.. problems in the world today is the problem of the
strategic/military balance between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. Although
the actuality of nuclear war may not be.the most ZikeZy contingency
we face, it would be definitely -the most catastrophic if it were to
occur. During this phase, therefore, we will examine in some detail
the nature of this threat as well as some of-the major problems bearing
on Ithis issue--the Mutual and Balanced Force Reduction Talks (MBFR);
the Strategic Arms-Limitation Talks (SALT) and the Sino-Soviet Dispute.
0900-1030 The US-Soviet
strategic Balance
25X1A
Intelligence Officer
for Strategic Programs
.Understanding Soviet defense policy is a major goal of US intelligence
gathering efforts. The Soviet view of the relationship between the
strategic forces of the US and the Soviet, Union is an important input
into the determination of Soviet defense policy. The composition
and compZexity of opposing nuclear offensive and defensive arsenals
make it difficult,. however, to measure the strategic balance. Our 25X1A
speaker will describe the US-Soviet strategic balance in this period
of the Strategic Arms Limitation talks.
1045-1215 NATO and the Warsaw Pact:
The Balance in Europe Special Assistant for
MBFR, OSR
In addition to the strategic balance between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.,
the other major area of military confrontation is that between NATO
and the Warsaw Pact in Europe. our speaker will cover the nature of
the balance between the two alliances, some of the history involved
in their geneses and a Zook at the future. This will be followed by
a talk on the efforts to reduce the military tensions in Europe--the
Mutual and Balanced Force Reduction Talks (MBFR).

Specia ssistant
for Strategic Arms
Limitations Talks,
OSR
The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) are another major effort
of the United States to reduce tensions with the Soviets. Thus far,
several milestones have been passed in this effort--the 1972 ABM Treaty
and Interim Agreement, and the Vladivostok Agreement in the winter of
1974. Our speaker will describe what these accords provide, what they
mean in terms of stabilizing the arms race and what needs yet to be.done.
He-will describe how the Agency supports the SALT talks while they are
in progress, and how the Intelligence Community carries out its
verification responsibilities covering the initial agreements, advising
policy-makers of possible future arms limitation options, and alerting
them-to possible violations.
