SUBJECT . Appreciation for Support to the DD/S&T Career
Development Course #5
Dear Bob,
I would like to express my appreciation, as well as that of
the class, for your efforts in setting up the Office of Special
Activities presentations to the Fifth Career Development
Course. It was an excellent job, -professionally done, and
was reflected in the high level of the presentations.
Enclosed are the Summary Critiques, which elucidate more
specifically the thoughts of the class with respect to your
efforts. The class is, in general, a critical one, and not
easily moved to the high praise shown in the critique. In
addition to the comments on the in-house portion, I am including
the comments on that portion of the West Coast trip arranged
by your Office. Unfortunately, I missed the Edwards-Palmdale
portion, which was apparently very well run and much appreciated.
Once again, many thanks to you and the OSA staff for your
time and trouble in giving a series of outstanding presentations.

There was a unanimous agreement that OSA gave a fine preseritat,,ion.
J
It was apparent that this Office expended a considerable effort to ma.ly:
the presentation lucid, interesting, and informative, and, as such, ho;ald
be complimented.
Specific Comments and Recommendations

The most positive class comments were directed at the presentaticii.,

(clear, interesting) and
(Very
frank and direct). The class was appreciative of the obvious effort put;
forth by the Office in the successful attempt to make the four days in-
formative. Perhaps surprisingly, the weather briefings were well received,
due at least in part to the alert (eventually aborted) which was caller
when the.group was present.
Areas in which the class felt too much time was spent were: (1) the
talk on maintenance and supply - overlong for the importance of the topic
and (2) the talk on aircraft electronics which,,in its detail, was s1ar>c^-
fluous after the OEL/ASD briefing. Otherwise, the apportionment of tiir.c. was
generally felt to be correct.

Stunmary Critique: West, Coast Trip (ir;t. }r.11f)
U
The West Coast Trip was considered by the class to be one of
highlights of the course. The opportunity to visit facilities, view
equipment, and talk to operational personnel effectively complimcntr-1 -,e
Headquarters briefings. All believed the trip to be an essential p;rI:,
of this and any future CDC's.
AEC
The tour of the AEC site was well-organized and efficiently
run considering the great dispersion of' facilities and points of intnni?,
It was generally felt that too much time was devoted to the moriblino
nuclear rocket program, although all considered it interesting. The
trip well complimented the earlier NED briefings and the trips to Oak

was the most interesting aspect of this visit. The incapacitation or
the "A" vehicle and that test program was a disappointment. Had that
program been active while we were there, the trip would have been much
more worthwhile. The class was unanimous in criticizing the length;,
briefing which preceded the tour of the physical facilities. Not only
was it overly long, it also covered material previously discussed in
earlier briefings.

SUBJECT: Critique of OSA Presentation to the DDS&T Career
Development Course
1. After the subject school was completed, the Director and
each of the students met with the DDS&T Career Service Board to pass
along their evaluation of the course and make any comments they so
desired. Most of the comments and criticisms were much the same
from all of the students and the following applied to the OSA presenta-
tion.
2. In general, OSA was given extremely high marks for their
presentation and field trips. They thought we were well organized,
knew our subject, were highly motivated and were uniquely "movers".
I think we should try to retain this kind of reputation and improve on
it in the following ways:
a. The field trip to Edwards North Base was a highlight
of the school. They did feel that the course director should
coordinate with the Commander of North Base in order to
establish the "reason for the visit" and what the students
were to get out of the visit. In addition, the rules under which
the trip was being conducted should be made very explicit and
very firm at the outset. This would apply to such things as
making it well understood that cameras would be checked into
Base Security at the beginning of the visit and re-issued at
the end. Absolutely no photos were to be taken.
b. An agenda should be passed out at the beginning with
the names and positions of each of the speakers or any other
participants. Also, each speaker should introduce himself
at the outset and try to sum up the objectives of his part of

the program. Speakers should know the background of each
student in the class in order to direct comments to him if
appropriate. The speaker should also be fully aware of what
the class has been exposed to up to date and should know the
exact time available for his lecture.
c. During the OXCART presentation, this class got
the impression that the political decision to terminate the
Project had been made prior to completion. They therefore
felt that far too much money was spent after the decision was
made, particularly in view of the fact that the Project was
actually terminated shortly after it became operational.
d. It was obvious that the interest in maintenance was
somewhat less than some of the other aspects of the program.
Specifically, they asked that the lecture be somewhat shorter
and that "forms" which were shown and discussed at some
length be introduced along with the purpose for showing these
"forms" or that this part be cut out entirely.
3. Any of those who participated in lecturing to this group
should feel completely free to discuss these comments or the briefings
to the Panel with me at any time. The comments are not intended to
be critical in any manner but are provided as guidance in order to make
a good presentation even better.

STJBJT'C'T Final Report - Career. Development. Course .1/5
The 22 week DD/S?,T Career Development Course 775 was concluded on
June )-1, 1971, with the presentation of cerLi:Cicates by the DDS&T. This
final report offers some general observations on the course, and cUntains
recommendations for the future. Detailed discussions on individual
presentations arc,. contained in the class critiques, which have been
forwarded to the respective offices and, are on file in the CDC office.
General. The course is, T_ believe, :invaluable in providing a broad
overview of the scientific intel Li.gcnce comrlunity and an insight into the
working relations hips both within and outside of the Agency. Iloiever,
I also bel.:.eve that this very point should be emphasized to the student
body and to the offices partici.pati.n in the briefings - that it is a
broad overview, and is nol, designed to make instant authorities of the
students on every subject covered. Some of the students, depending on
their interests, have a tendency to want to wring tie last drop of
information from the briefers; conversely, seine briefers, in their
enthusiasm for their subject, tend to try and cover their field dovin
to the finest detail.
Student Evaluation. At the end, the students were asked to evaluate
the course,, both as a whole and on individual segments. Four aspects
were to be considered:
A) Content
B) Direction and Organization
C) Quality of Instruction
D) Length
Ratings were over a scale of 5, ranging from -2 (Poor), -1 (Adequate),
0 (Acceptable), -il (Superior) to +2 (Outstanding). These numerical
values were used. as multiplying factors for the number of responses in
each category, and the products summed. Hence, if all. hi students

SUBJI-:CT: Final Report - Career Develop ie'rii; Course -//5
gave a judgment of Poor. (-2), the overal-1 rating would be -28, with a
range of up to ?1-28 for Outstanding. (The "Length" category is subjective
and does not carry a numerical rating.) Thu results of this survey are
appended as attachments in both numeric and graphic form.
Content. The course content seems to be optimum, considering the
length of time. There appeared to be a great deal of interest on the
part of the class in atomic weapons, and perhaps the addition of the
Weapons Orientation Course (Sandia) or additional time in the OSI
presentations would fill in some of the gaps w:i..th respect to areas of
destruction vs weapon size, a comparison of Soviet and U.S. weapons,
etc. A suggested agenda for the .following course is attached which
reflects the results of the survey and the Director's personal obuer-
vations.
Length. The duration of 22 weeks is suitable to cover the material
and minimize time away from work. It could not be reduced and still
cover the material; to lengthen it without adding subjects would be
wastef ul_. The suggested outline covers 18 weeks of instruction, 1 week
of Easter leave and allows for 2 weeks of days off to be interspersed
throughout the course - total 21 weeks.
Student Mix. Course 115 had III students plus the Director, which
meant one person had to ride the navigator's seat on the Gulfstream
trips. Presuming this plane will be used next year, and presuming
permission to use the navigator's seat cannot be obtained, we are re-
duced to l3 students. The -Board has recommended that O/PPB and OTR
each be given a slot in the next course, which seems to dictate the
following student mix:

These changes also reduce the DD/S~'T contingent from 9 out of lil- to
6 out of 13, which may not be acceptable.
Program Coordination. In CDC //5, major programs were presented as -a
whole by the participating offices to eliminate redundant presentations.
It is recommended that this procedure be followed in the future, with the
proviso that closer coordination between offices be established to eliminate
the introduction of identical vicwgraphs and other material by different
offices.
In conclusion I would like to thank the Administrative and Security
Staffs for their help and advice, and the Board for having given me the
opportunity to serve as Director. It has been a most rewarding exp rience.
