Office Memorandum UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO Deputy Director of Training (General)
FROM : Chief, Orientation and Briefing Division
DATE: 18 June 1953
SUBJECT: Report for Week 1200 hrs., 11 June to 1200 hrs., 18 June 1953
I. INDOCTRINATION
1. Today, Thursday, 18 June, a total of 63 persons attended the weekly
Indoctrination Program. The audience consisted of 58 new persons and
the following 5 persons from the Directorate of Intelligence, USAF:
Name
Title
Mr.
Howard K. Anderson
Intelligence Analyst Targets
Mr.
James C. Bell
Intelligence Analyst Targets
Mr.
Walter H. Ellis
Intelligence Analyst Targets
Mr.
Lucien B. Wright
Intelligence Analyst Targets
Mr.
John F. Vaccara
Intelligence Analyst Targets
2. Considering the audience of last week as the most outstanding since
the Indoctrination Programs began, I evaluate today's group as mediocre.
3. The Project Officer for the Directorate of Intelligence, Air Force,
Captain Allen, indicated that an Air Force Indoctrination Program would
be conducted during the month of July and our Agency would be allotted
seven slots. Before circularizing CIA to find out who might be interested
in attending, it is rather essential that we evaluate the program so that
those of us in the Office of Training will be in a position to determine
the kind of persons of this Agency who might profit by attending. I have
suggested, therefore, to that he might want to attend
with and myself since his Division would almost surely be in-
volved in any issuance of notices to Agency offices about future atten-
dance at the Air Force Indoctrination Programs.
1. With the concurrence of Mr. Harold Stassen, Director of the Mutual
Security Agency, to address the Eleventh Agency Orientation Program, the
Director of Training asked the Chief, Orientation and Briefing Division,
to work out all details with Mr. Horwitz of Mr. Stassen's office.
2. The secretaries of the Director and the Deputy Director of Central
Intelligence have informally allotted space on their calendars for the
appearance of the DCI and the DDCI at the Eleventh Orientation Course.

Accordingly, the D/TR should invite the Director for the morning of
August 7 and the Deputy Director for the morning of August 4 as the
D/TR has done on all previous occasions.
25X1
3. have tentatively acknowledged their
availability for participation on the program, and the Chief, OB/D, has
received word from the D/TR that Col. Shef Edwards will also be on hand
for the Eleventh Course.' We will know about Mr. Amory within the next
few days.
4. will pay detailed attention to the calibre of
audience participation at this coming program since some of the offices
have notified us that they have almost reached their capacity in partici-
pation.
III. SPECIAL
25X1 1. returned to work on Tuesday, 16 June. Without his know-
ing it, we have received excellent reports regarding the work which he
accomplished during his two weeks of military leave. After his prelim-
inary examination of the project which was assigned to him, he scrapped
what had been done and developed a new approach which met with everyone's
approval and the project was completed before he returned to us.
25X1 2. Even though her assistance is very essential during all phases of
planning and im lementation for the Orientation Courses, we concurred
25X1 25X1 in the plea o to have cover Col.
office for several days next week.
