of higher priority to the Agency and the Intelligence
Community. Course schedules for FY L990, based owthe
expressed interest for various train~~ nS programs, have
been published. Any alteration by way of reducing or
eliminating any of the course offerings at t is tiro would
severely impact on individual and unit training plans both
within the Agency and throughout the Intolligence Community.
3. With a cop-current commitment of increased resources,
OT11 can design and develop a course for overt collectors and
reporters, staff with qualified personnel, and conduct a
program that would be mado available to the Intelligence
Coif unity. In addition, 0Th would formally offer a program
designed for SEEK source dobriefers. This training would be
made available through the following progra?s:.
a. Analytical Training. This program would
be desi ne to sate sCy t "requirem en.t in paragraph
II of reference (a) for training Intelligence
Community personnel regarding overt collectors
and reporters. Also, this training would provide
for the orientation and education of the _require-
ments and tasking officers and non-technical SF1T
.reporters. 0
b. SEEK and ST efupee Debriefing. To
provide the propose train n: .or C~debriofers,
OT would move ahead with plans to conduct a
course which has been m n twice on an experimental
basis for the Intelligence Community. The
experimental course, called. "Debriefers Indoctri-
nation program," is tentatively evaluated as
quite valuable. =.3ith. recently imposed reductions
in MTR's authorized personnel ceiling, we are
unable to continue the program on a regular basis.
A description of what we propose to offer in this
area is contained in the attachment.
