The awarding of the Distinguished Intelligence Medal was not only a high personal tribute to the man who developed the Office of Training and directed its activities over a 15-year period, but it was also a clear indication of the importance that the Director of Central Intelligence attaches to the Agency's training mission. The award ceremony wa a held in the U. S. Intelligence Board Conference Roam. Mr. Raborn's presentation was made before an audience composed of the senior officers of the Agency and many of those people who have worked closely with and for Mr. Baird over a long period of years. Preceding the reading of the formal citation, Mr. Raborn spoke informally, pointing out that the greatest possible reward for a successful career is the personal satisfaction that one de- rives from a job well done. This, Mr. Raborn said, Matt Baird should have in abundance. Following the presentation of the Distinguished Intelligence Medal to Mr. Baird, the Director presented the Intelligence Star to a former Junior Officer Trainee for outstanding performance under enemy fire. After commenting informally on the young man's heroic action, Mr. Raborn turned to him and said, "To have accomplished this outstanding act under enemy fire you must have had extensive military training. " The ex-JOT replied, "No sir, the only training I have had after college was under Mr. Baird in OTR. " At this point the Director turned to Mr. Baird and said, "Matt, your chickens have come home to roost.

Mr. Matthew Baird, who retired as the Director of Training in December 1965, has been appointed as a Special Advisor to the DDS to coordinate this study. In 1958 the Office of Training, along with other Government and private organizations, began developing the system of instructional tech- niques known as programed instruction. Programs were developed or purchased for use within the Agency, but the impetus for continued re- search and experimentation suffered from budget and ceiling cuts there- after. The "state of the art, " however, has developed in the past eight years to the point where the Agency must re - examine the potential of programed learning to meet the ever increasing training requirements which have already saturated its ability to meet them through conven- tional methods of instruction. It is the purpose of this Study Group to determine what, if any, additional use the Agency might make of pro- gramed learning. In programed learning the student works at his own speed, using material which requires him to study the information presented and then react to it before receiving more information. Programed instruction proceeds in small, logical steps, requires an active response at each step, and gives immediate knowledge of results. At first it was believed that programed learning was suitable for teaching only factual material, but it is now being used to teach concepts as well. Teaching machines were widely used when programed learn- ing was first started. Studies since then have shown that the machines do not add materially to the learning when compared with a book - type presentation. Machines such as tape recorders are used, however, in Afproved For Release 2000/yR-k& k7 , 8W*000200070002-0 Approved For Release 2000/05/8& SffMf. 3SOROMLO0200070002-0 teaching foreign languages by programed methods, and electronic com- puters are also being used in some programed courses, and undoubted- ly will play an increasingly important role. Programed learning frequently reduces the time required to learn a subject up - grades final performance, and increases the consistency of course quality. It can save time for the instructor and also increase the size of classes. Programed learning does not eliminate the need for an instructor, but frees him to supplement the program with instruc- tion which cannot be programed. There are three ways to obtainprograms: (1) purchase published "off-the -shelf"programs; (2) have a consulting firm develop programs; and (3) develop a program "in-house" using employees of the organiza- tion who have been trained to write programs. The Study Group is presently evaluating "off -the- shelf 11 programs which appear to have Agency relevance and will shortly enter into con- tractual arrangements with one or more outside consulting firms who will be expected to develop programs and provide guidance in the devel- opment of an internal, Agency capability. The Coordinator has an of- fice at the Glebe Road Building, where there are copies of some pro- grams and a collection of books and articles about programed learning. He will welcome queries addressed to: Mr. Matthew Baird, Coordinator Instructional Systems Study Group Room 514, 1000 Glebe Extension 2244 SECRET Approved For Release 2000/06/b?5 F 1'1784300MV0200070002-0 13 Approved For Release 2000/05/05. 78-03090A000200070002-0 CIA INTERNAL USE ONLY EXECUTIVE SEMINAR CENTERS A new Executive Seminar Center will open in September 1966 at Berkeley, California. This will increase to 1,188 the annual capaci- ty for participants in executive seminars, the previous capacity having been 612 when Kings Point, New York, was the single Center. The Ex- ecutive Seminar Centers can now more effectively serve the education and training needs of the governmental career service, and more rapid- ly augment the total of 1, 600 Federal agency employees who will have completed one or more courses by July 1966. Each center will offer essentially the same curriculum after the first year of their dual operation. No fast rule can be made in help- ing agencies decide whether employees should be sent to Berkeley or Kings Point, but, generally, persons in the West should go to Berkeley and those in the East to Kings Point. The curriculum seeks to provide an understanding of signifi- cant, continuing government responsibilities and operations valuable to a career executive in any agency or function. The Centers therefore conduct an integrated curriculum which can be taken through a series of conceptually related short courses over a period of years. The pro- gram is designed to bridge thegapbetween scattered interagency courses now available and the kinds of subjects and learning experiences which could be embraced within a "staff college" format. The10courses offered at the Centers were designed on the prem- ise that Federal executives who will attend have already demonstrated competence in their fields of specialty. Each two - week seminar pro- vides the opportunity for 36 experienced Federal officials to gain a deep- er awareness of the problems, policies, and goals of the Federal gov- ernment in an area of major concern. Discussion and project sessions are planned as an integral part of the seminars to focus ideas and issues raised during lecture periods and from assigned readings. Any order may be followed in taking courses, but it would be preferable for afirst- time participant to take "Administration of Public Policy" or "Environ- ment of Federal Operations" before others.

The program, therefore, is aimed primarily at per- sons in grades GS-14 and GS-15, though selected persons at GS-13 and career executives at GS-16 and above are eligible for attendance. Those attending are given the opportunity to rework past experiences into a more meaningful pattern; to reformulate personal values; and to inter- pret their role as career executives in the light of a broad exposure to a range of problems and issues facing Federal administrators. No age restrictions are imposed upon attendance at an Executive Seminar, but it is expected that employees whose future length of service casts doubt on the return that may be expected for funds expected should not be sent. Administration of Public Policy The career administrator's role in carrying out public policy is the main focus of this course. Topical approaches are: The Formu- lation of Public Policy; the Administrative Process; the Formulation of Policy and the Administrative Process at Agency Level; the Implemen- tation of Policy; and the Career Executive and the Administration of Public Policy. The subject matter of this course is applicable to any executive. The Environment of Federal Operations This seminar explores how economic conditions, social needs, and international problems give rise to responsible public programs. Topical approaches are: The Constitutional and Political System; the Political System; Public Policy and Public Programs; and the Career Executive and the National Interest. This course is applicable for all executives. The National Economy and the Federal Executive This seminar deals with the theory and substance of govern- ment involvement in various areas of economic life. National responsi- bility for full employment, and for pay and conditions of work; the ef- fects of government spending, tax structure and financial policy; regu- lation of business, finance, and industry; tariffs and subsidies for busi- ness and agriculture and similar forms of economic stimuli; government versus private operations--these and similar topics are treated to show the extent of Federal involvement in economic activities and the inter- relationships between private and public economic decisions and activi- ties. Topical presentation will be closely related to current develop- SECRET Approved For Release 2000/6%/451FC~ 79SAOMA (00200070002-0 15 Approved For Release 2000/05/05 : 6I$8-03090A000200070002-0 CIA INTERNAL USE ONLY ments in Federal policies and programs. This course is intended for those with little or no background in economics who find an understand- ing of economic principles and practices useful for their general require- ments, and for midcareerists in the economic field who feel a need for a "refresher" experience. Social Programs and Economic Opportunities This seminar explores relationships among diverse social and economic needs in American society which come to be reflected in programs, policies, and administrative actions of government. Topi- cal approaches are: The Dynamics of American Society; Contemporary Life, Values, and Social Organization; Federal Programs and Policies, the Process of Social Change; Social Problems and Programs in an Ur- ban Center; and New Problems and the Future of Social Programs in the United States. This seminar is designed particularly for those whose assignments are oriented toward the principal socioeconomic programs of government. International Affairs and Federal Operations The purpose of this seminar is to acquaint the participant with basic concepts associated with the development of American foreign pol- icy, the conduct of foreign affairs, and the international pressures which influence domestic policymakers. Topical approaches are: The Nature of International Relations and the Development of American Di- plomacy; the Conduct of Foreign Affairs; Domestic and International Factors Effecting Foreign Policy Operations; American Foreign Policy Today. Problems of Strategy, Perspective Formulation, and Implemen- tation; the Future of American ForeignPolicy. This seminar is intend- ed for persons who require broad understanding of the administration and conduct of foreign affairs, and also people assigned work in basic- ally domestic agencies with increasing overseas programs. Effects of Technological Development This seminar deals with the rapidly growing role of the Feder- al government in scientific undertakings and the effect of technological change on national goals and objectives. Topical approaches are: The Environment of Science; Research and Development inNational Perspec- tive; Research and Development and the Federal Establishment; Science and Government Issues, Problems and Programs; and a Glimpse of the Future. This seminar is intended for all career executives but has special relevancy for those who require an understanding of the process- es of technological change and of approaches to research and develop- ment policies and their administration.

Topical ap- proaches are: American National Security Policy: Development and Concept; the Administration and Management of National Security: Roles of Defense and Non-Defense Agencies; Resources for Security: The Non- Defense Agencies and National Requirements; Contemporary National Security Policy; and the American National Interest- -Policy and Admin- istrative Projections. The program content is applicable to the needs and interests of all executives, but is especially appropriate for those needing anunderstanding of any or all phases of national security affairs. Intergovernmental Programs and Problems Emphasis is given to current relationships between national and state authorities in matters such as civil rights, Federal judicial review over state legislation, and constitutional interpretations of the relative jurisdiction of state authority and federal authority. Certain Federal programs with broad national impact will be discussed against the backdrop of actual executive and agency needs. Case studies will include sectors such as health and public welfare, education, labor, ec- onomic opportunity, agriculture, defense dislocation, taxation, trans- portation, housing, and urban renewal. The seminar is meant for of- ficers with responsibility for work involving state and local government who serve local, regional, and national administrative levels. Skills and Goals of Management This seminar is designed to give career managers an under- standing of their role as managers, the organizational environment in which they work, and the scientific tools at their disposal. Attention is given to the functions and techniques of management; the qualities of an effective leader; developments in behavioral research as they affect the manager's job; and the theory and practice of organization and reorga- nization, especially the problems created by growth in an organization. The program also deals with automatic data processing and operations researchas managerial tools. It deals with general management issues from the perspective of the midcareerist. Federal Program Management This seminar offers a pragmatic examination of Federal poli- cies and interagency management practices applicable to agency and in- SECRET Approved For Release 2000106Y9gNQ',7ffiM0SQU0200070002-0 17 Approved For Release 2000/05/05 : 1P78-03090A000200070002-0 CIA INTERNAL USE ONLY teragency administration of public programs. It offers a perspective of senior agency management techniques dealing with extra -agency forces in the public sector, in the Congress, and within the Executive Branch itself. The course also examines the broad operation principles and practices which guide traditional and recent relationships among various branches of the government. Participants are called upon to produce an analysis of their own particular management needs in the a- gency environment. This seminar should be of interest to every career executive. CIA PARTICIPATION AND NOMINATIONS The Agency has been a regular participant in the Executive Seminar Program since the establishment of the Kings Point Center.
