1. from the training component of the Office of
Security has tentatively requested the presentation of a Special
Communist Party course for a group of 30 - 40 Security Office analysts.
While I indicated SIC's willingness to contribute whatever it
reasonably could I also pointed out that we were not prepared to
present a course focusing primarily upon the CPUSA. He did not appear
to be too clear as to what the requirements of his office really
were in this field so I requested him to survey the problem a bit
further before we could commit SIC to a specific program. I believe
that a portion of these Office of Security analysts are working on
OP problems external to the US and could undoubtedly profit from what
SIC is capable of offering.
2. I have checked further into the status of - proposed
TDY to _ No actual request for training has been made, but ap-
parently an informal invitation was issued to Eric by the - while
they were here, and he indicated his availability in August or Sep-
tember. If a formal request is made I would then like to open up the
possibility of someone else's making this trip.

4. I have suggested to that he give serious
consideration to moving all of SIC into Wing A in Alcott. There is
now enough space there for the entire staff and this would open up a
complete Wing (B) for anyone in OTR who needs additional space.
I spent the better part of two days this week reviewing
latest literary effort, "The Ill-Isms of Communism," which
consists of three hefty volumes of definitions. Since he has spent so
many hours in turning out this product I felt that it warranted care-
ful review, particularly since he is anxious to pass it along throughout
the Agency - at the moment to SRS. While I had no thought of SIC's
publishing it when I began the review I now feel very strongly that
this should not even be pushed in any way. Even though Eric may do it
as a personal effort he is associated with this school and a tacit
endorsement on our part would certainly be implied. I would rather
not have OM connected with this in any way.
