MEMORANDUM FOR THE ASSISTANT CHIEF OF STAFF FOR INTELLIGENCE, USA

ASSISTANT CHIEF OF STAFF, INTELLIGENCE, USAF
VICE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR RESOURCES & SYSTEMS, DIA
SUBJECT: Language and Area Studies Programs
The attached program announcements introduce the Defense Academic
Research Support Program and the Defense Advanced Language and Area
Studies Program. They focus on research and languages in significant
areas of the developing world. Although these areas promise to be
increasingly important for future national security policy and planning,
the Department of Defense has little or no resident expertise in them.
-- The Defense Academic Research Support Program will draw on
scholars for research to broaden the understanding and perspective of
Defense analysts, and to develop instructional materials.
-- The Defense Advanced Language and Area Studies Program will
develop resident expertise through advanced academic training and area
familiarization for Defense analysts.
These are pilot programs. We will have two years to demonstrate
their feasibility and usefulness. Their success will depend on how well
they prepare us for the future. You should nominate for training now
the promising analysts you will depend on five years from now, and
select research topics with future rather than current analytical needs
in mind.
We will learn and adjust as we go along. I count on your support
and welcome your suggestions.

ANNOUNCEMENT
DEFENSE ACADEMIC RESEARCH SUPPORT PROGRAM (DARSP) - FY 1982 AND FY 1983
I. GENERAL:
The Director, Defense Intelligence Agency, as Program Manager for the
General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP), announces the Defense Academic
Research Support Program (DARSP).
Together with the companion Defense Advanced Language and Area Studies
Program (DALASP)*, the DARSP is part of a DIA managed project designed to:
(1) Support graduate or advanced education and training for GDIP
area specialists in languages and geographic areas in which the DoD has little
or no in-house expertise. Training in languages native to the area of con-
centration is a program requirement.
(2) Foster external research to enhance understanding and broaden
perspectives of geographic areas likely to be significant for future U.S.
national interests.
Some candidate subjects for academic research, described as "topics
of concern," have already been developed within DIA's Directorate of Foreign
Intelligence. Addressees of this announcement have been given an opportunity
to comment on the topics or suggest additional ones.
Proposals for academic research on the initial topics are now being
written for submission to those scholars and institutions that responded
to the Commerce Business Daily notice of 27 August 1981 (attached). It re-
quested statements of interest and qualifications for research projects.
Contractual arrangements will be made and research will begin in FY 82, using
funds made available to DIA to support this program. Copies of the initial
request for proposal, soon to be released, may be requested from the Program
Office (DIA/AT-SA).
II. PURPOSE OF RESEARCH PROGRAM:
The DALASP and the DARSP are the two components of a GDIP initiative
to demonstrate the feasibility and utility of enhancing Defense language and
area expertise and analysis through cooperation with the academic community.
If pilot projects initiated in FY 82-83 achieve satisfactory results, the
Initiative will be continued and may be expanded and broadened in subsequent
years. Future emphasis and priorities of the DARSP will be announced as they
are determined.
*Details on the DALASP are available from the Program Office (DIA/AT-SA).

Approved Foselease 2002/05/29 : CIA-RDP86B00984R000300130015-0
;:-
The DARSP is intended to:
(1) promote access to external sources of linguistic and area
knowledge which can complement and supplement Defense analytical capa-
bilities;
(2) expand the research of open sources of information, and widen
the interpretation of events and prospects to broaden Defense understanding
and perspective of developments and conditions in areas of current and future
U.S. national interest.
III. NATURE OF PROGRAM:
All GDIP activities are encouraged to submit to the Program Office,
on a continuing basis, expressions of particular interest on the topics of
concern for which requests for proposals, for academic research support
will periodically be issued. Suggestions for new topics, within the areas,
languages, and disciplines to be emphasized (see below), are also welcomed
by the Program Office.
The DARSP will fund all allowable direct and related indirect costs
(including salaries/stipends for principal researchers) of individual, group,
or institutional research, and support to research, on behalf of GDIP activ-
ities. Allowable individual costs will be set at rates previously negotiated
with the Federal Government, or at rates to be negotiated by the Virginia
Contracting Activity of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA/RS-Q).
Non-personal service, selected-source contracts for specified products
or levels of effort, will be let for studies and research (including biblio-
graphic and linguistic) to be defined in statements of work prepared in
collaboration with the unit or activity of principal interest. The unit
or activity will be given the opportunity to provide the Contracting Officer's
Technical Representative (COTR), and to monitor and evaluate the services of
the contractor in accordance with the statement of work.
Requests for Proposals, incorporating the statement of work, will be
generated by the Virginia Contracting Activity. They will be sent to potential
contractors identified in response to the public solicitation for statements of
interest and qualifications. The Program Office in collaboration with the
unit or activity of principal interest will assess the capabilities of the
potential contractors.
IV. AREAS, LANGUAGES, AND DISCIPLINES TO BE EMPHASIZED:
The Program Manager has selected Sub-Saharan Africa for initial
priority emphasis during the period covered by this announcement. Secondary
priority has been assigned to Southwest Asia, specifically, the Arabian
Peninsula and Turkey. Languages which may be employed for research pur-
poses may include those which: (1) are native to the country or region of
concentration; (2) are widely used by significant segments of the population

in those parts; (3) have utility for field or archival research. Such
languages would include (but are not limited to) Amharic, Galla, Hausa,
Shona, Somali, and Swahili for African studies, and Gulf Arabic and Turkish
for Southwest Asian studies.
Research and research-support topics will involve studies in fields
of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, eco-
nomics, and geography. Research in other fields must have prior Program
Office approval.
V. ACCEPTABLE PROPOSALS:
The following types of contractual support will be considered under
the DARSP:
(1) Topical study resulting in production of a research monograph.
(2) Bibliographic research (native-language sources).
(3) Production of language training materials for native lan-
guages meeting the significance criteria noted above.
(4) "Level-of-effort" support to topical research being con-
ducted in-house, to include on-call advising, editorial assistance, research
assistance (including linguistic or methodological assistance), and con-
duct of research seminars and colloquia.
VI. POLICY ON RESEARCH RELATIONSHIPS WITH PERSONS OR INSTITUTIONS
CONNECTED WITH HIGHER EDUCATION:
Researchers who are associated with, employed by, or conjoin a pro-
posal from any U.S. institution of higher education will not be requested
by sponsors or COTR's to perform field research abroad which is of a
classified nature.
VII. POLICY ON DISCLOSURE OF RESEARCH:
All research conducted under the DARSP will be held in the public
domain. Researchers will be encouraged to publish the results of their
research.
VIII. FUNDING; MANAGEMENT, RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROGRAMS:
The DARSP is included in the GDIP budget. Some travel costs directly
related to research undertaken within the DARSP may be reimbursable, when
anticipated by the unit or activity of principal interest and approved in
advance by the Program Office. Disbursement of funds will be managed by
program sponsors.
The DARSP does not supplant, supersede, or duplicate any existing ex-

DEFENSE ADVANCED LANGUAGE AND AREA
STUDIES PROGRAM (DALASP) - FY 1982 AND FY 1983
I. GENERAL:
The Director, Defense Intelligence Agency, as Program Manager for
the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP), announces the Defense
Advanced Language and Area Studies Program (DALASP).
Together with the companion Defense Academic Research Support Pro-
gram (DARSP)*, the DALASP is part of a GDIP area and language studies
initiative designed to:
(1) Support graduate or advanced education and training for GDIP
area specialists in languages and geographic areas in which the DoD has
little or no in-house expertise. Training in languages native to the area
of concentration is a program requirement.
(2) Foster external research (through the DARSP) to enhance
understanding and broaden perspectives of geographic areas likely to be
significant for future U.S. national security interests.
The Program Office (DIA, AT-SA) is now soliciting Service and DIA student
nominations for FY 1982 and FY 1983 (academic years 1981-1982 and 1982-1983). The
analytical unit to which the prospective student is assigned will make
nominations, based upon the forward-looking needs of the unit, and forward
them through appropriate channels to the Program Office. Applications
will contain all information prescribed by this announcement; implementing
instructions may be issued by addressees of this announcement if deemed
advisable.
Those prospective students and study proposals that best fit the
objectives of this program merit the strong support of their supervisors
and parent command elements. The Program Office may need to establish
quotas for the Services, DIA, and the Unified and Specified Commands de-
pending upon the volume of responses to this announcement.
For programs which are to commence prior to 15 September 1982 the
deadline for submission of selections to the Program Office is 1 lune 1982.
Proposals for programs which are to begin after 15 September 1982 should be
submitted on or before 1 July 1982,.
*The DARSP is covered in a separate announcement.

II. PURPOSE OF PROGRAM:
The DALASP and the DARSP are the two components of a GDIP initiative
to demonstrate the feasibility and utility of enhancing Defense language and
area expertise and analysis through cooperation with the academic community.
If pilot projects initiated in FY 82-83 achieve satisfactory results, the
initiative will be continued and may be expanded and broadened in subsequent
years. The DALASP is intended to build up a reservoir of foreign language-
capable area specialists in anticipation of future world events that may
affect U.S. national interests.
III. NATURE OF PROGRAM:
The DALASP will fund all direct costs (other than salaries) for ad-
vanced area and language study by area specialists selected for support
under this program. Allowable expenses include:
- tuition and fees for full-time or part-time study,
- books and instructional materials (including professional
journals),
research,
- computer time,
- typing/manuscript preparation costs,
- travel and per diem directly related to academic work and
- dislocation, and relocation, and cost of living allowances
authorized under the Joint Travel Regulations,
- orientation and research travel, and
- language tutoring and testing.
A budget will be prepared by sponsors in the format out-
lined in enclosure 3 to this announcement. Once approved by the selecting
authority, that budget will become the basis for support by the DALASP.
Expenses incurred in excess of budget estimates will be the responsibility
of the selecting authority or individual students in accordance with such pro-
cedures as the selecting authorities may establish.
IV. INSTITUTIONS:
Formal study will be conducted at an accredited non-Government college
or university in the United States or abroad, the selection of which will be
jointly agreed upon by the student and the Program Office. The Program Office
will provide, upon request, information on academic institutions and their
programs to prospective students and their nominating activities. If an

alternative institution is later decided upon, it must be approved by the
Program Office.
V. DISCIPLINES, AREAS, AND LANGUAGES PREFERRED:
A. DISCIPLINES:
This program emphasizes specific, highly focused language and
area concentration (see below). Multi-disciplinary studies are accept-
able; all studies should be specifically and directly related to analytical
requirements.
B. AREAS AND LANGUAGES:
The Program Manager for the GDIP has selected Sub-Saharan Africa
for initial primary emphasis during the period covered by this announcement;
secondary priority has been assigned to Southwest Asia, specifically the
Arabian Peninsula and Turkey. Languages to be studied will be native to the
country or region of concentration and used by significant segments of the
population. Languages of former colonial powers are widely taught both within
and outside the Defense establishment, and it is not a basic purpose of this
program to support the study of such languages. Languages to be studied in-
clude (but are not limited to) Amharic, Galla, Hausa, Shona, Somali, and
Swahili for African studies, and Gulf Arabic and Turkish for Southwest Asian
studies.
A working knowledge of a language is regarded as an essential tool
for specialists trained under this program, and applicants will be required
to take training in a language native to their geographic area of concen-
tration. Those already having knowledge of a language native to their chosen
area will have an obvious advantage in attaining desired levels of competency.
VI. ACCEPTABLE STUDY PROPOSALS:
It is emphasized that this program is intended to support graduate
or advanced area study, coupled with study of an appropriate foreign language.
Area studies will culminate in a research report on a topic directly related
to the student's job. Language study must lead to certifiable competency in
reading, speaking, and writing the chosen language at the level specified by the
sponsoring organization. Competency will be measured by language tests agreed
on between the academic institution and the selecting authority.
Travel and related research costs not covered under other provisions
or programs, but considered to be an integral part of the basic project, may
be included in the proposal. Reimbursement for such costs must be approved
In advance.
INDIVIDUAL APPLICATION PROCEDURES:
Individual applications/proposals must contain the information requested

Approved Formlaelease 2002/05/29 : CIA-RDP86130098111W000300130015-0
in Appendix 1. These will be forwarded in accordance with instructions
Issued by Service Intelligence Chiefs and DIA. Unified and Specified Command
activities will forward proposals through appropriate channels.
VIII. PROGRESS MONITORING:
Each activity that produces a student under the DALASP will appoint
an official to act as Project Monitor of the student's study program. The
Project Monitor will provide the sponsoring organizations and the Program
Office periodic assessments of student progress toward attainment of
announced goals.
IX. FUNDING, MANAGEMENT, RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROGRAMS:
Funding for this program is included in the GDIP budget; the program
does not cover the salaries of selectees. As soon as an individual's pro-
posal and attendant costs have been approved, the selectee's servicing
finance office will be furnished the appropriate documentation for disburse-
ment of funds. Beginning in FY 1983, funds for the program will be allocated
to the Services and DIA.
- The DALASP will not supplant, supersede, or duplicate existing
training or education programs. The Program Office will closely monitor
adherence to this policy.
- This program is designed to complement the companion Defense
Academic Research Support Program (DARSP).
X. ELIGIBILITY:
The program is open to GDIP area specialists who are or will be in-
volved in Third World areas and languages as a primary specialization.
Military area specialists may be supported under the program with Service
assurance that their future assignments will require expertise in their area
of specialization.
No restriction is placed upon grade; however, applicants must have an
appropriate background to qualify them for the training outlined in this
announcement.
Final selection will be contingent on schojastic eligibility and
acceptance by an institution approved by the Program Office.
XI. EVIDENCE OF APTITUDE TO STUDY A LANGUAGE WILL BE FURNISHED:
This may be in the form of transcripts indicating successful language
study (e.g., with academic grades of "B" or better), a score on the Defense
Language Aptitude Battery of 110 or better, or a Multiple Language Aptitude
Test (Foreign Service Institute) score of 60 or better.

Memorandum for Record: 20 January 1982
SUBJECT: Waiver of Limitations on Training at Non-Government Institutions
for Education Provided Under the GDIP Language and Area Studies
Program (Civilian Employees)
References: a. 5 USC 4106(a)(3)
b. DoD Directive 1430.5F.3.C.(3)(c)
c. Federal Personnel Manual (FPM), Chapter 410,
Subchapter 5-5C(3)
1. Beginning in FY 1982, the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP)
will sponsor an advanced language and area studies program for selected
Defense intelligence analysts of DIA, the Services, and the Unified and
Specified Commands. It is emphasized that training in languages native
to the geographic area of concentration is a program requirement.
2. Sponsored students will engage in advanced studies at non-Government
educational institutions. Owing principally to the language study require-
ments, some student programs may exceed one year's duration and, therefore,
be nominally subject to the limitation imposed by reference a.:
"The time spent by an employee in training may not exceed
1 year in the first 10-year period and in each subsequent
10-year period of his continuous or non-continuous civilian
service in the Government."
3. However, references b. and c. provide in accordance with 5 USC 4106(b)
that the one-year-in-ten rule is waived under the following conditions:
a. The employee is serving under a career-conditional appointment
or an excepted appointment without time limitation (references b. and c.).
b. Postponement of training, until the 10-year period is over, would
be detrimental to the development of skills, abilities, or knowledge
needed for the performance of official duties (reference b.).
c. The training will not cause the total amount of training through
non-Government facilities in the current 10-year period to exceed two
years (references b. and c.).
4. Since the individual employee's needs and place of study will be deter-
mined individually, the foregoing waiver provides the necessary flexibility
for Defense intelligence analysts who will be sponsored under the GDIP
Language and Area Studies Program. If study of a particular language

necessitates extending an individual's education program beyond two years,
the Program Office in DIA (AT-SA) will (a) make arrangements to provide
the necessary language instruction at a Government institution or, (b)
request an individual waiver in accordance with DoD Directive 1430.5F.3.C.(4).
5. Employees to be covered under this waiver and the purposes for which
they are covered are outlined in attachment 1. A copy of this memorandum
and the attachment will be included in the Official Personnel Folder of
those affected, together with information required in accordance with
reference c.
6. It is not intended that extended service obligations and agreements re-
quired under DoD Directive 1430.5F.3.(c)(5)(a) be waived.
7. Applicability of the waiver provision set forth in this memorandum has
been coordinated with Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower, Reserve
Affairs and Logistics).

Employees to be affected by blanket waiver of training restrictions
under the General Defense Intelligence Program, Language and Area
Studies initiative.
1. Position title, series, and grade levels affected.
Intelligence Research Specialists, Series GS-0132, 9 to 14, engaged
in analysis for the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Services, or the
Unified and Specified Commands.
2. Description of training.
- Training is variable in length, depending upon qualifications of
students, but may last up to two years. Programs lasting more than two
years will require individual waiver requests.
- Training will consist of advanced (e.g., graduate level) education
in language(s) and area studies pertaining to the Third World. Area
studies disciplines will primarily consist of history, political science,
geography, economics, sociology, or international or area studies with a
region or country specialization.
- Training will normally occur at pre-selected colleges or universities
in the United States which have suitable academic programs and have been
certified for students sponsored under this program. If cost savings or
the quality of an academic program warrant, education may be obtained at
approved foreign institutions.
3. Relevance of training to official duties.
- Training is intended for improvement of professional skills and
knowledge needed for intelligence analysis, notably foreign language com-
prehension and area knowledge needed for accurate analysis of events
and conditions in the Third World.
- Education is intended for incumbent analysts. Those being hired
for, or assigned to, analysis jobs must occupy their positions before
training can be approved under this program.
4. Reasons for waiver.
- The Defense intelligence community has a critical shortage of Third
World specialists. Those available substantially lack language skills
and area knowledge needed for in-depth politico-military analysis. Congress
mandated the creation of an initiative to improve the quality of analysis
by upgrading the linguistic and area knowledge of analysts.

- Limitations upon the duration and extent of training for Third World
analysis would hamper efforts to implement this initiative and defer the
acquisition of skills and knowledge required for in-depth analyses that
would support current contingency planning. Moreover, we seek to create
a resource for the future which will reduce the chances of "intelligence
failures" in unforeseen Third World contingencies.
- Due to the sensitivity of the work performed and the need to have
in-house analytical capability which is continuously available, it is not
considered appropriate to obtain this expertise through contractual means.
5. Waiver ceilings and duration of waiver.
- Waiver authority is granted for up to 50 employees per year within
the entire General Defense Intelligence Program with regard to the one-in-
ten-year rule.
- The duration of this waiver is indefinite; however, it will be
reviewed and revalidated every two years.
- The identity of those involved in this program who are covered by
this waiver will be furnished to the Program Office, DIA, Special Assistant
for Education and Training (AT-SA).

SUDJECT: Second Research Topic for Africa
TO: AT-SA (Mr. Walter R. Longanecker, Jr.)
Ref: Your memorandum U-525/AT-SA dated 2 March 1982.
1. I am pleased to forward the suggested title and description of
study for the second research topic on Africa. The topic was produced
in consultation with Dr. Baron; JSI, DB and DE analysts; a representative
of DM and representatives of the Services' intelligence chiefs.
2. I assume that the title and description are all you need from us
and that the other criteria for a new Request for Proposal (e.g.,
frequency of analyst/contractor meetings) will be the same as the previous.
3. Title: Factors of Leadership in Sub-Saharan Africa
4. Description: The study should examine the factors that help to
determine leadership in Africa. Through examination of a number of selected
individuals with exceptional leadership traits who have hade permanent
effects on their countries or on Africa as a whole, the study would seek
to identify the essential determinants of African leadership. Elements
of this examination would include, but not be limited to, education,
physical environment, military experience, religion, tribalism, individual
and group values and foreign influences. While the following list of
African leaders is not inclusive, it is illustrative of important leaders
about whom there is believed to be a body of resource material: Amilcar
Cabral, Jomo Kenyatta, Eduardo Mondlane, P. Lumumba', Kwame Nkrumah,
Haile Selaisse, Moise Tshombe and Hendrick Verwoerd. The study should
include an assessment of whether a profile cl.F the African leader can be
drawn and a model or models, suggestive and preliminary at least, of what
future African leaders may be like.

Research Topic for FY 1982
TO: AT-SA (Mr. W. Longanecker)
The following suggested title and description of study is the product
of two meetings with Dr. Baron and OF, JS and DB analysts. Please
consider it to substitute for the "Horn of Africa" topic we discussed.
The Contractor shall perform the following services:
0001 A study within the framework of the following general topic:
"Factors affecting the employment of peacekeeping forces in
Africa South of the Sahara;" and
0002 At least two schec'uled meetings with Defense analysts in
Washington, D.C. vicinity for purposes of discussing research and
findings connected with the above study. The Contractor shall be issued
an invitational travel order (ITO) for each such meeting; costs for the
travel and subsistence will be borne by the procuring agency and should
not be budgeted within the proposal.
For purPnes of this solicitation, Sub-Saharan Africa includes Chad,
Ethiopia/Somalia (the Horn) and the adjacent island states.
The study should examine inter. alja. the historical experiences as
well as the potential for deployment of peacekeeping forces in Africa
South of the Sahara. Focusing on the role of peacekeeping forces, the
study should identify and analyze the political, cultural, ethnic, social,
economic, and Military factors that contribute to either success or failure.
By identifying the operative factors an optimum model for African peace-
keeping operations should be developed. Some of the peacekeeping issues
which the study should address are: participants, their motives, chains
of command, equipment and weapons involved, costs of maintenance, opera-
tions and logistics. Further, this study should address the roleof
non-African nations and international organizations in the peacekeeping
process. Other factors to be considered include differences in training,
experience, tactics, equipment and organization. Finally, the study
