SECRET
MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
FROM: Stanley M. Moskowitz
Director of Training and Education
Requirements/Anticipated Budget Cuts
1. In the past few years, OTE has developed several new training
programs which met recognized voids in this Agency. These new programs
included the Personal Security Course, the Executive Development Program,
the Secretarial Program, the Analyst Training Program, and the DS&T
Training Program. Funding for these new programs has been covered to the
extent possible within OTE by reprogramming out of other areas.
Significant resources, both personnel and funds have come as transfers
from the DI and the DS&T. The DI is funding three independent
contractors and has sent five officers on rotational assi nments during
FY 1986. The DS&T is transferring approximately is paying for
three independent contractors and three annuitants, and has assigned
three rotational employees in FY 1986. The DA funded the Executive
Development and the Secretarial Training Programs during FY 1985
2. OTE has identified resources within its FY 1986 base
which will be reprogrammed to fund the Washington Operations Training
Division (the new group which conducts the Personal Security Course), the
Center for the Study of Intelligence, and expanded external training for
OTE personnel (per the 1985 Inspection Report).
3. The remaining significant FY 1986 hard unfunded items are
$275,000 for the Executive Development Program, $350,000 for the
Secretarial Trainin Program for the Soviet Realities
Institute, or phase II A of for the
renovation and furnishing of the first floor of Chamber of Commerce
Building, and F--Ifor student travel associated with operations

training. The amounts requested are the minimum required to keep these
ongoing programs functioning at current levels. New initatives will be
submitted as part of OTE's FY 1988 Program Plan for both the Secretarial
Training Program and the Executive Development Program, however as OTE is
not able to fund them currently, I am requesting your assistance to
permit their continuation.
4. In the referenced memo, you also requested that I identify
$1,773,000 of the OTE nonpersonal services funds to be frozen until such
time as they may be needed to meet Directorate "hard" unfunded
requirements and/or potential budget cuts. Because of the existing
shortage of funds in the majority of our training programs, none of the
funds designated for conducting training could be considered for such a
freeze without seriously jeo ardizin our direct migsion- P tly I

Justification of unfunded requirements:
OTE does not have positions for the Personal Security Training
Program. In view of the criticality of this program, the DDA last year
authorized OTE to proceed with the undertaking and promised that 5
positions would become available. A total of the ten positions are
needed to run this program in FY 1987, if we are to meet the goal of
giving the training to all Agency officers and going overseas.
Without the additional positions, less than of the Agency's
employees who travel overseas each year will be able to attend the
Personal Security Course.
The positions for the Planning, Evaluation, and Development Staff
are the result of an Inspector r ommendation in the recent
Inspection Report on Training.
The Executive Development Program was begun in FY 1985 and was
funded by the DDA. It established a core course and a series of
electives for all new SIS officers. Without the Executive Development
Program, the Agency would not have a training program specifically
designed to meet the needs of its senior officers. This is an ongoing
program which must be terminated immediately if funding is not received
from the DDA. A new initiative will again be submitted in the FY 1988
program to cover these costs.
The Secretarial Training Program was begun in FY 1985 and fills a
void in the Agency's training program. Funding was received from the DDA
in FY 1985 to begin the program. The funds requested in FY 1986 permit
the continuation of this ongoing program. The positions are required to
conduct the training. If this unfunded recuirement is not met, the
program must be canceled immediately and there would he virtually no
training conducted for the secretarial/clerical employees of this
Agency. A new initiative will again be submitted in the FY 1988
program.
by the DCI. It is designed to improve our overall understanding of the
Soviet Union. Funding must be received before the first offering under
this new program which is scheduled for February 1986. The positions
requested would provide administrative and staff support to the programs
The Soviet Realities Institute was establishes: at the recommendation
of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and was agreed to
which will be primarily conducted utilizing independent contractors.

The requirement for travel funds is to meet an identified shortfall
resulting from the expansion of the operations training at the if
funding is not received, student trips which are an integral part of the
operations training courses will have to be canceled. Funding will be
needed by the fourth quarter of the fiscal year to permit the
continuation of the trips.
Obligations to take over the first floor of Chamber of Commerce
Building have already been made by the Agency. Current tenants have been
given notice to vacate. The funding will permit the utilization of the
space by reconfiguring it into classrooms, and purchasing furniture and
equipment. The funding must be received by the end of February in order
to order furniture and equipment and proceed with the renovations of the
space which is currently being vacated.
