MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Investigative Training for OS Careerists Not Assigned
to Field Investigative Duties
1. During a joint meeting of the Long-Range Planning Group
and the Management Advisory Group held on 18 January 1973, the
advisability of expanded attendance at the OS Special Agents Training
Course was discussed. The next running of this course will be
during the spring of 1973. There was a final consensus among the
group that it would be beneficial both to the careers of certain persons
not performing investigative duties and to the Office of Security as a
whole if certain careerists were given the opportunity of attending
this course. It was felt that young careerists engaged in personnel
security or covert security approval duties would receive practical
information which would be beneficial to them. Such considerations
would be limited, of course, to careerists who have not had investi-
gative experience.
2. On 19 January 1973, the feasibility of enlarging the Special
AgentsTraining Course was discussed with the Chief and Deputy Chief
of A&TS and the Chief, Training Branch, A&TS. It was determined
that enlarging the course over its present anticipated size would not
be a problem; that five additional students could be added without any
difficulty.
3. It was agreed that the Training Branch will circularize OS
careerists not assigned to investigative duties in order to determine who
would be interested in attending. The reasons for the requested attendance
will be set forth by each applicant. If more than five applications are

received, the Career Board will consider them for purposes of
selection. If less than five are received, final approval authority
will be delegated to the appropriate Deputy Director or Staff Chief
concerned.
