SUBJECT: Weekly Activities Report i11, Field Training,
period 16 to 20 March 1959
1. The greater portion of the effort of this office during
25X1A the reporting period was devoted to the up-coming Briefing for
the Kilday Committee. appeared in ray office bright
and early Monday morning and was immediately put to the task at
25X1A hand. Working with he was extremely helpful in
organizing the initial agenda for staff discussions, contributing
in individual sessions with the chief instructors concerned and in
dry runs for the complete staff. Just one comment on the whole
area of VIP briefings: we are hoping to come up with a meaningful

time on the part of the staff here. .
2. ORT #4 (Air) got off to a jerky start on Monday, 16 March,

personnel arrived Sunday night and were processed according to
schedule but then were forced to bide their time while the late
arrivals were processed. This entailed a certain amount of
duplication of effort on the part of the staff as well as interruption
of the schedule. It appears that the delay resulted from the ORT
personnel using the courier for transportation. We feel that such
delays are unnecessary and make a bad impressi ersonnel from 25X1A

25X1A entrants to the course included one student from the Office o the
DDP, by name.

25X1A for the group. The latter departed the Base on 17 March,
one day ahead of schedule. This was possible because they had already
been exposed to some of the material scheduled for the week. This
25X1A development enabled the to satisfy their desire to visit
Washington.

satisfactory pace. ~Mnh=ascompleted the last round of
