SUBJECT: Request for language instruction DATE: 2 May 1951 25X1A9a 1. Due to an absence of several years from close work with the Scandinavian languages I have lost some of the facility in handling them which I at one time possessed as a result of residence in Norway. Upon entry on duty with I felt that certain steps should be taken to correct this deficiency. 2. Accordingly, I investigated attending the Georgetown University School of Languages and Linguistics, using the educational benefits under the GI Bill I am already enrolled in the Georgetown Graduate School and have completed studies for a Masters Degree in International Affairs. I thought that it would be possible to simply shift my GI Bill benefits to the Language School. However, on further investigation I learned that the course of study at the School involved taking from three to four hours of class work six days a week. This strenuous course would be impossible in addition to working eight hours a day. 3. I am, therefore, requesting that I be allowed to follow a course of private instruction on a schedule of approximately two (2) hours per week with the Scandinavian language instructor at the Georgetown Language School. His charge is $7.00 per two hour session and I would like to take this instruction for a period of from six to nine months. A notice of security clearance is attached. 4. 1 consider that such instruction would be of benefitlo the OSO at such time as I am sent to a field station and should be of considerable advantage in any future operational contacts which might be necessary in the Headquarters area. I hereby request that this private instruction be approved and that a sum of money be allowed for this use. 25X1A9a GNF1JuhIAL Approved For Release 2000/08/16 : CIA-RDP81-00755R000200130075-7
