OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
TO Director of Training
Deputy Director/Support
SUBJECT : Briefings
REFERENCE:
Action Memorandum No. A-3&9
Date
20 January 1964
1. The DMZ is quite concerned at the quality of some of the
briefings being given by Agency personnel, particularly some of the higher
graded personnel, and has commented to the DCI that while he was at
NORAD he had required all personnel to take a public speaking course.
He noted that the course given there was for a total of 16 hours, and had
classes of 10-1Z people. The course involved all facets of public speaking
beginning with development of a theme, rough outline, preparation of notes.
preparation of a finished talk, and presentation.
Z. Would you check with mo.nd see what con-
siderations you would make for handling the senior CIA echelon. I would
imagine that for planning purposes there would be about 30 who should take
this course.
