1. Discussion of JOT Trainees on Assignment with DD/P
made inquiries on the practices followed in assigning
an . training JOT's. Mr. Baird replied to these inquiries and
emphasized that as in the case of many military personnel within
the Agency, it is important that each JOT be placed on a job
commensurate with his particular abilities. Failure in the past
to do so places much of the blame on us if the JOT does not
remain with the Agency after continued periods of formal training.
Any highly motivated young man must be placed in a situation
in which he feels he is producing during the on-the-job training
phase. Mr. Baird and explained in detail how the
JOT's are briefed prior to assignment to DD/P offices. Mr. Baird
stressed the fact that not one JOT has been assigned to OTR. As
a result of PP interest in the JOT program., that office volunteered
Phase II quota slots for JOT's if and when such are needed in the
future,
2. Waiver Tests
explained the procedure to be followed in reporting
back the results of waiver tests. In brief, A & E will test; the
report will be sent to the appropriate senior staff training officer.,
who will inform the Registrar after a decision has been reached.
3. A & E Memoranda on Training Evaluation Reports

practice, permitting direct contact from the desks to the A & E

4. The Director of Training turned over all course critiques on the
initial running of Phase III, plus a report identifying OTR
plans for action effected to revise Phase III presentations.
These papers were given to representing the Chairman,
Clandestine Services Training Comrittee, with the provisos that
all members of the Committee should read all course critiques and
that any questions or comments concerning these critiques would
be taken up exclusively with Mr. Baird.
5. Enrollment of Low-Graded Personnel in the BIC
25X1A raised questions on requiring GS-1+'s scheduled for
25X1A overseas assignments, taking BIC training. stressed
the propriety of such persons' taking the Administration Course
only. Two considerations projected this discussion: (a) the
high probability that such personnel would be GS-7 or -9 upon return
to headquarters, and (b) the fact that DD/P Admin standards
establish -BIG training as minimal requirement for such personnel
25X1A slated for overseas assignments. Regarding the first of these,
pointed out that the training
commensurate with the grade and position attained should be logically
25X1A undertaken on return from overseas, Re ardin the latter,
volunteered to talk to or 25X1A
25X1A about making the minimum s an s more rea s c.
6. Discussion of Procedure for Procuring TS Material for Training oses
presented some of the problems with which he had been
confronted in attempting to obtain, certain TS material considered
essential to the planned IPSOC course. Mr. Baird recommended that
the topic be discussed at an OTR Staff meeting and suggested that
initial assistance in procuring the necessary material could probably
be gotten from senior ste?f training officers.
pointed out that a TS document was used for the first time as a
training vehicle in the recent Phase III.

Announcement Regarding TSS Advanced Photo Course

students who might require special trainin in certain aspects
while taking the regular course. also observed that
this change in programing to accommodate such persons would
eliminate tutorial photographic instruction.
