Submitted herewith is the report for the week ending 8 January
1, Continuing my visits to discuss the BIC with the training
officers,, I met with 0 of OSI on Tuesday. He said that his
Office was well satisfied, with the present content of the course, and they
were interested in having all their new professional employees attend
the school, The OSI Career Service Board was to meet that afternoon,
and one of its items of business was to consider candidates to be
nominated for the next course, I gave 0 several copies of the
revised curriculum for the use of the Board members.
2, Next Monday we are starting a course in research methods which
has been requested by of OIS. He is sending eight persons
to the course. It will meet Monday afternoons from 2:00 to 5:00 with
the trainees spending such additional time as they find necessary to
prepare research studies,
3. I have enlisted the cooperation of OCI in the development of
another "live" problem for use in the BIC. Arrangements have been made
with for us to get several batches of the 25X1
daily "take" coming to selected analysts in the Western Division. The
analysts will make extra copied for us of their drafts of items for
the daily digest. Our project will be to give the trainees the daily
file as received by the analyst, let them select material which they
consider worthy of reporting, and then prepare items for publication.
The analysts, drafts and the items as they appeared in the daily digest
will be available for comparison and for instructors' criticism of the
trainees' work,. By renewing our files every few weeks we can keep the
exercise reasonably fresh.
