Plans
a. Since the addition of Mr. - to our staff makes it possible
for us to enlarge on. our CE training program, we have made several changes
this past week which we believe will bring this about. In the first piece?
25X1A9a we have freed Miss - of further duty in the CEO and,in recognition
of her excellent work raised her to the level of Chief Instructor in charge
of developing a new CE familiarization course. This course will be designed
to meet the needs of support personnel and supervisors in the Clandestine
Services for trq&ning in the CE field which until. now have had to be neglected.
25X1A9a Secondly, Mr. will replace Miss as Mr.~ assistant in
25X1A9a the CEO. we eel that with his background ll be able to do much to 25X1A9a
25X1A9a assist Mr. in bringing this course up to the desired level. In
25X1A9a addition, we hope that Messrs* will be able eventually
to see their way clear to come up with the much needed course on interrogation.
b. A draft of the manual on the subject of information requirements,
25X1A9a being prepared by W. for use in IRRR, will be completed this month.
The presentation will form of (1) a basic statement of the processes
and problems of collection guidance; and (2) a series of appendices to orient
the student regarding the various types of documents in the field of require-
25X1C ments and to provide the organizational information needed as background.

d. CaR No, 15 is now in its final week and has lost only two
of its original number of 54 due to emergencies. Attendance and interest
have remained high throughout despite the generally inclement weather,
For example, this is the lar ent of the class
who elected to take the In response,
T$8 demonstrated once its re rifling program
by agreeding to double the monster normally permitted and will conduct
32 students cm the tour in four groups of eight each.
Co According to the CI Staff training officer, Counterespionage
Operations No. 8 (18 February - 8 March) is oversubscribed end therefore
will be run with its aax:bm n complement of fifteen students.
fo War Planning No. 9 scheduled for 11 February to I March was
cancelled as we had only five students enrolled.. Since we use in this
course a faculty of prou4,matelg thirty guest lecturers, we feel that
we should have a mini enrollment of ten students. We anticipate no
difficulty in carrying over the above five students until the next
scheduled running 13-31 May.
g. 8nrol mean a for tutorial instruction in Staybehind continue and
the next regular course is scheduled for 15 April 1957r,
h. In the Information,Reporting, Reports and Requirements Course
No. 4, which ran from 14 January to 1 February 1957, there were ten
students, three men and seven women. light of these were from the DD/P,
with two from lEA, three from F8, one from BE, one from WR, and one from
PPC; one was from t7TR and one from TSS. Not one is a case officer, but
three or four are potentially good reporters or h"" re of-reporters,
Only a few have been in reports work, but four actually have assignments
as reports officers and five hope to become reports officers. Of the
two from DD/S, one will soon be to an overseas station in a support fob
(doing photographic work) and the other hopes to leave secretarial work
and get into a reports slot in DD/P.
Seven of the group are college graduates, several of them with
majors or minors in English; one has had Junior college training and one
is a business school graduate. The best reports officer material in the
whole group is the one person who has had only a high school education
(but profitable experience in the school of hard knocks),
