An AAO examines the importance of the area to the United States, the distinguishing characteristics of the area and its people, their significant problems, and offers some general guidelines for living and working successfully abroad. Instruction is in the form of lectures, discussions with returnees, films, and reading selected materials. Con- ducted for groups or individuals and varying in length from one to three days, are 3 1/2 to 4 day courses) . AAOs can be given on any of the countries of the Free World, though LAS capabilities on South Asian countries are limited at this time. AAOs are scheduled on the request of any Training Officer. When a suitable date for a particular region or area has been arranged by LAS, other Training Officers who have indicated a special interest in the sub- ject area are notified of the AAO. This is done so that individuals from other offices may have an opportunity to attend. To register employees or dependents of Agency employees, Training Officers should send Form 73, Request for Internal Training, to the Admissions and Information Branch/RS/TR. NOTE: AAOs are conducted in the Washington Building Annex of Arlington Towers, on a 0900 - 1630 schedule. INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH (TECHNIQUES) TO BE GIVEN FOR ANALYSTS IN ALL OFFICES Intelligence Research (Techniques) has been opened to personnel from all offices in the Agency. Up to now only analysts from OSI or ORR or JOTs preparing to enter the DD/I area of the Agency have been admitted. The next course is scheduled for 30 April - 25 May. It will meet each morning from 0830 to 1230 hours in Headquarters Building classrooms, and on Wednesday afternoons from 1330 to 1700 hours. Most afternoon sessions will be used for research in libraries and registers. Enrollment will be limited to 15 students. The objective of this course is to improve the analyst's proficiency in intelligence research. It is of particular value to new analysts who have recently entered the Agency and who need to learn about the range of facilities available to them and also about the various intelligence techniques Approve Ie 8/26: CIA-RDP78-0309OA000200030002-4 Page 2 CIA INTERNAL USE ONLY March 1962 25X1A Approved For Release 2002/08/ 8-0309OA0002000300 CIA INTERNAL USE ONLY STATSPEC INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH (cont.) used in the Agency. Intelligence Research (Techniques) also serves as a refresher course for senior analysts beginning work on new research jobs in the Agency. The course is also valuable for persons supporting research, such as analysts and reference librarians in OCR Library and registers; personnel in the 00 Contacts Division, Foreign Documents Division, and collection and requirements officers. Each student is asked to bring to the course the title of a research project approved by his supervisor. The project might be one on which the student has just started, or it might be one on which his supervisor plans to have him work. During the course the student will go through the following stages of the research process, applying each to his own research project. The Analyst's Place in the National Security Structure Intelligence Research Planning: writing terms of reference Repositories of Information: analysts' files, libraries, and registers Assembly of Data by Analysts: analysts' inbox, use of libraries Intelligence Collection Programs: writing collection requirements, capabilities of each collection program The Analytical Process: techniques and tools Mechanics of Report Preparation: organization, graphs, maps, tables, coordination 25X1 A- 25X1 For each stage of the research process, students read a correspond- ing portion of a course textbook. They listen to talks by specialists on the various stages; they tour related facilities; and they study and discuss individual research projects. They also write terms of reference, a re- search time schedule, and an ad hoc collection requirement. On Wednesday afternoons the students will work in libraries and registers on their projects. At the end of the course students prepare skeleton reports on their projects, summarizing findings and stressing gaps and methods to be employed in filling gaps.

Intelligence Review has been established as a full-time course to give an overview of the status of the intelligence profession, to study new intelligence developments within CIA, and to present an opportunity for students from various offices to discuss particular office problems in intelligence. One session of the course will again be devoted to a summary of recent significant developments within Soviet Russia and in International Communism. Senior officers from the various components of CIA and from other members of the intelligence community will discuss current developments and problems. Panel discussions will deal with broad areas of collection, production, and support. Both panels and lectures will be followed by scheduled discussion periods. In addition, student seminar groups will choose topics for discussion and produce final papers. Attendance is limited to professional intelligence officers who have completed the Intelligence Orientation Course and have a minimum of five years' duty with the Agency or equivalent experience.

A sampling of employee support for the venture, based on OTR's first announcement in the August Bulletin, was followed by more definite pro- posals in two succeeding Bulletins. Then telephone calls were made to each person reponding to the survey to make sure of interest and probable course preferences. It then became reasonably certain that enough employees were interested to warrant firm negotiations for starting the program even before OTR's move to the Headquarters Building. Of the three metropolitan area universities engaging in off-campus programs, George Washington University was favored by most employees. Agency approvals were obtained, and endorsement given to arranging with GWU f-or providing a convenient and economical academic self-improvement program at the Headquarters Building. In the program an employee could earn college credits in company with other Agency employees while being taught by a professionally qualified instructor from within the Agency. The instructor arrangement was a departure for GWU; although its College of General Studies provides many off-campus programs in Federal Departments, never had a Government department or agency offered to get a program started by providing all instructor personnel. The College of General Studies permitted OTR's Registrar to nominate qualified applicants. Now Agency instructors, each of whom has been selected and accredited by the respective department heads of George Washington University, exceed the qualifications of on-campus instructor personnel, according to the Dean of GWU's College of General Studies. Several weeks before registration dates were announced, the Dean and the Director of the Off-Campus Division of George Washington University's College of General Studies were given assurance by the OTR Registrar that 75 registrations might develop for eight subject-area courses. At the close of formal registration, the number of registrants was close to the estimate, with 74 paid registrations. Interest surveys had clearly indicated a pre- ference by Agency employees for courses in political science and business administration, but enrollments in the latter were so few that BA 101 had to be withdrawn on the last scheduled date for registration. Political science enrollments, although good, did not prove to be the highest in the courses retained.

After the release of a Relocation Bulletin confirming temporary classroom locations and announcing that R/TR was authorized by GWU to continue registering employees, registrations increased so that the Agency's first semester of academic-credit courses began with these GWU subjects and final enrollments: English Composition 20 Introduction to Geography 17 General Psychology 16 Government of the United States 13 Introductory Accounting 11 Development of the Civilization of the United States 10 Principles of Economics 8 All GWU courses now being conducted carry either freshman or sophomore credit. Now it appears, too, that the second semester of each of the courses offered is reasonably assured. Possibly, the second semester may be completed during the summer on an accelerated basis. Thus some higher-level courses for which the present courses are pre- requisite may start in the fall of 1962. On the other hand, there is no need to wait until fall to begin other courses, regardless of level. The arrangement with GWU is sufficiently flexible that a new course may be added any time that 12 or 13 qualified students register for it. Even though a semester scheduling will normally prove preferable, should a special demand develop, OTR can meet it with class meetings either once a week for 15 weeks or twice a week for 8 weeks, to begin at any time. The present offerings of core subjects will go a long way toward meeting the requirements for an Associate of Arts degree and are credit- able toward baccalaureate degrees in any school, college, or division of George Washington University; credits for these courses may also be trans- ferred to some other colleges or universities. It is believed that sufficient interest will develop to permit offerings leading to a graduate degree -- possibly a Master of Arts in International Affairs. Numerous expressions of interest from employees qualified and experienced in college or university teaching at more advanced levels have been furnished to the Registrar, OTR. Their qualifications will be trans- mitted to university officials for consideration at an appropriate time. Other employees with experience in college or university teaching may wish to file with the Registrar, OTR and are encouraged to do so. The key factor in the off-campus teaching program, however, is not one of teaching qualifications.

The Institute is different from last year's in several respects. Because of the unfied program, individuals may take 2, 4, or 6 weeks. In the last two weeks of the Institute, there are two options. In effect, these options permit an opportunity to choose from four separate 2-week programs, from three 4-week programs, or from two different 6-week programs. Also, spot lectures in the afternoon sessions are being re- placed by "support sessions" with topics chosen to reinforce the morning's work. Because "special projects" did not prove to increase materially the educational impact of the program, these former sessions in problem solving, skill, simulation, etc. have been discontinued. Instead, discussion- analysis sessions are to be conducted on Saturday morning and are so de- signed as to integrate studies of the previous week. Further details will be announced. However, those interested in being considered for any of these programs are reminded that the OTR Management course is a prerequisite and that final selection of candidates will be made by Deputy Directors.

A Postdoctoral Program in Psychology has been established in the Graduate School of Arts and Science. The new program, which is the first of its kind in this country under the auspices of a college or univ- ersity, offers two types of training--a modernization and refresher program and a clinical specialization program. Plans to create a 1, 000-acre "University Valley" in the heart of Sterling Forest, near Tuxedo, New York, were announced. This site is surrounded by a number of industrial research laboratories and will be devoted to basic and applied research programs and to educational activities appropriate to the setting. Dr. A. Allan Bates, formerly vice president for research and development at the Portland Cement Association, has assumed the directorship of University Valley. Georgetown University has announced that it will conduct a number of special programs during the 1962 Summer School which will be of interest to educators.

The objective of the course is to acquaint engineers, scientists, and business administration with a new approach to probability and statistical inference originally developed and applied in physics by E. T. Jaynes, Professor of Physics at Wash- ington University, and applied in engineering by Myron Tribus, Dean of the Thayer School of Engineering. Professor Jaynes' new procedures permit many fields to be treated with a common methodology. Diverse applications in kinetic theory, thermostatics, thermodynamics, reliability engineering, communications theory, decision theory, and game theory are included. Prior preparation in statistics would be helpful but not necessary. Any student with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Mathematics, Chemistry, or Physics should be able to take the course with profit. The major topics to be covered are: The Rules for Inductive Logic Rational Induction The Evidence Function Entropy and the Principle of Maximum Entropy Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics Problems Pertaining to Confidence Communication Theory Decision Theory Physical Measurements Kinetic Theory and Transport Processes Dartmouth's deadline for receiving applications for participation in the course is 1 April 1962. Registration for the course will be limited to 50.

Therefore it is important to provide training opportunities which will enable reservists to maintain their proficiencies and to gain additional skills for the performance of wartime duties. This Military Reservist Activities Section is included in the OTR Bulletin to inform Agency reservists and their supervisors of available training opportunities and to call attention to other military items. The August Bulletin included a listing of active-duty training opportunities for fiscal year 1962. In the May issue it is planned to include the courses available in the first half of fiscal year 1963. Applications for training tours should be submitted to the Mobili- zation and Reserve Branch/MMPD. Inasmuch as varying amounts of lead time, four weeks as a minimum, are required by the services, reservists should consult MMPD as early as possible. MMPD is now in Room 207 Alcott Hall.

Here are a few, from a test in science and mathematics, quoted in the January issue of the NEA Journal. The theory of evolution was greatly objected to because it made men think. The earth makes -a resolution every twenty-four hours. To collect fumes of sulphur, hold a deacon over a flame in a test tube. Algebra was the wife of Euclid. An axiom is a thing that is so visible that it is not necessary to Soundis a rapid series of osculations. The moon is a planet just like the earth only deader. The pistol of a flower is its only protection against insects. If conditions are not favorable, bacteria go into -a period of adolescence. For asphyxiation: Apply artificial respiration until the patient is dead. For dogbite: Put the dog away for several days. If he has not recovered, then kill it. A super saturated solution is one that holds more than it can hold. The dodo is a bird that is nearly decent now. A cerebrum is a cavity in the head.
