SUBJECT a Introduction-toInte_lligence and Introduction to
Communism Courses (Intelligence Orientation)
1. The Deputy Director for Support recently announced that many
professionals enterin on duty were not attending the subject courses
as required by HR II The Director of Communications, in subse-
quently discussing the matter, stated that some of his people, after
27 weeks specialty training, not only found it difficult to attend an
additional month of training -- two weeks for each course - but they
did not as Technicians need most of the material given. In the past,
this was recognized and on three or four occasions the courses were
reduced to one week and given
2. The defining of what is a professional is rather difficult
at some grade levels but.with the use of job knowledge Offices can
and should send the professional to the regular courses. In making
an analysis, others who are not true professionals and those who have
no need for such course material could be eliminated from attendance.
The third type parallels that described by the Director of Communi-
cations. That is, the person who, for basic knowledge and for moti-
vation, needs the material that has.been,and could be presented: in an
abbreviated course.
3. I have discussed the need for the abbreviated course with
the Chief of the Intelligence School and the Chief of the School of
International Communism in the Office of Training and both men believe
that such a course for the "semi-professional" is highly desirable.
They do, however, need some basic statistics such as how many of
these semi-professional type employees enter on duty annually and
the approximate time of entryon dut1._ Although information of this
type may be rather di.ffcult to_provide, an estimate o the numbers
is necessary so that the Office of Training can plan how many abbrevi-
ated courses could be given to replace the regular courses in a particu-
lar year, and when they should be scheduled.

4. If you will send me this information, stating the numbers
of people such as Tegi ciaWs,and,other semi-professionals you desire
to send. to such a course, I will be able to discuss the matter more
fully with the Office of Training and perhaps assist both that Office
and your Office in a saving exercise.
