SUBJECT: Weekly Activities Report No. 1+4
26 October through 1 November 1955
I. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS
a. At a special clean-UP session (26 October 1955), the
draft report of the Seminar was for the most part
rejected by the seminar members* However, the main conclusions
as cited in last week's report (No. 43) were generally approved.
The members generally objected to the report because they believed
that it left the reader with a distorted view of t overall
performance of certain of the units concerned with
as well as exaggerated the nature and extent of certain of the
problems discussed, particularly those having to do with the
organizational aspects of the Clandestine Services.
In recognition of these views as well as a number of
other factors, it has been concluded that no further effort
should be made to finalize the draft report and that the
best disposition of the whole matter would be simply to hold
it available on file in the Office of Training as a part of the
seminar notes. Despite this decision, we believe that the
seminar was worthwhile and that it represented an important
step forward in the direction of collecting a body of
information from experience in operations on which to base
training instruction. We plan, therefore, to conduct
additional seminars in the future.
