MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence

FROM: R. E. Hineman
Deputy Director for Science and Technology
SUBJECT: Meeting with DDS&T Career Development Course
1. The 25th running of the DDS&T Career Development Course
is being conducted from 12 September to 9 December 1983. One of
the most worthwhile facets of the course is the opportunity to
meet with senior Agency managers to discuss issues of importance
to the CIA and the Intelligence Community as a whole. I would
like to invite you to address the Career Development Course on
Thursday, 8 December 1983, from 1100 to 1200 in the DCI
Conference Room.
2. The Career Development Course is conducted by my office.
The class consists of mid-level managers from grades 12 through
14. They are primarily DDS#1T careerists although each of the
other directorates has at least one representative in the course.
The purpose of the course is to familiarize its members with the
mission and functions of the components of the Intelligence
Community with an emphasis on the structure and operations of
the offices in the Directorate of Science and Technology.
3. The opportunity to meet with you and hear your views on
the major issues concerning the Agency and the challenges it faces
would be a most appropriate way to wrap up the 13-week course.
Attached for your information is some information on the course
and the members of CDC 25. If you are able to meet with the
class, specific topics of interest to the class will be sent to
you in advance of the scheduled date.
