PREFACE
Education is a long term investment. The Federal government
(including the Agency) is interested in making this investment and
in obtaining the best possible returns from it. The first step in
the investment is the attracting and developing of qualified person-
nel. The second step is maintaining current knowledge and skills to
meet the Changing objectives and activities of the Agency. To
achieve these, the Agency strives to operate with modern training
practices and techniques, encourages its employees to participate in
educational programs for self-improvement, and supplements the self-
improvement effort with sponsored training programs which include
formal courses and programs, on-the-job training, and training at
non-Agency facilities.
In contributing to a realization of an adequate return on this
investment, the Office of Training seeks to improve the quality and
effectiveness of its instructional programs. The Schools, Staff
constantly review and update courses to meet
changing requirements in language, communication, operations, manage-
ment and clerical skills.
The Office of Training assists in the selection of self-
improvement courses as well as administering and managing the
extremely large external training program; i.e., training at a
non-Agency facility.
This edition of the OTR Catalog attempts a comprehensive
coverage, either in detail or nominally, of training opportunities
available internally or externally; outlines policies and procedures;
and offers assistance. The Office of Training endeavors to improve
its services and can accomplish this more easily with help from the
components. Tell us your training problems, large or small; suggest
how we can help you; let us know your component training needs.
Only through an adequate communication system can we improve our
service to you and, in the end, realize a proper return on our
education investment.

INTRODUCTION
The Office of Training publishes this Catalog in order to
furnish guidance for Training Officers and to present a review of
available training. One hoped-for objective is that the catalog
will be a useful tool in planning professional development. The
contents cover courses given by OTR, training offered by other of-
fices of the Agency, Inter-Agency programs, and courses offered by
non-government facilities.
The Catalog is divided into five major sections: General In-
formation, Internal Training, External Training, Component Train-
ing, and an Index. The first section contains material of general
interest and instruction for prospective students, supervisory and
managerial personnel, and Training Officers. The Internal Training
section deals with each School in OTR, describes the scope and ob-
jectives of the School, and contains a one-page description of each
course offered by the School. Each of these latter pages follows a
specific format and gives length, location, prerequisites, objective,
description, enrollment maximum, and special notes on the course.
Training Officers and others should note carefully the information
in these descriptions, particularly prerequisites and peculiar items
needed on the request form, before sending applications to OTR/ISS/
AIR.
Because the number of facilities is vast and their course of-
ferings extensive, the External Training portion of the Catalog is
limited to general coverage of types of training. Representative
installations are mentioned and typical offerings shown. It would
be almost impossible to list in one publication the many opportuni-
ties available for which the Agency would at some time have a need,
but OTR hopes that the sampling shown in the Catalog will indicate
the extent of training possibilities and that Agency personnel will
utilize the additional information sources available in OTR.
Component Training has grown to such an extent that a separate
section is devoted to it.
Changes in the Catalog will be issued periodically and sent to
users. Because the publication is in loose-leaf form, insertion of
changes or additions and removal of out-dated material will be a
simple exercise. In this way, OTR hopes to maintain a current and
continually useful Catalog.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11348
In 1958 the Government Employees Training Act (GETA) was passed
"to provide a means for keeping key employees well abreast of scien-
tific, professional, technical, and management developments both in
and out of Government." The Act was implemented in 1959 by Executive
Order 10800. In 1967, both the Executive and Legislative Branches of
the Federal Government published studies on the progress of training
under GETA. Both the "Report of the Presidential Task Force on
Career Advancement" and the "Report Covering Effectiveness of Imple-
mentation of the GETA," prepared by a subcommittee of the Committee
on Post Office and Civil Service, U.S. House of Representatives,
found GETA, as amended, to allow for needed training and education
programs for professional, administrative and technical employees.
The Task Force recommended that the President issue an Executive
Order which "established basic policy for improvement of the public
through maximum exploitation of better training and education, taking
into account productive new practices in industry and Government."
This Executive Order, 11348, was signed on 20 April 1967, and revoked
EO 10800 of 15 January 1959.
The new Executive Order expands the Civil Service Commission's
responsibility for planning and promoting the development, improve-
ment, coordination, and evaluation of training performed in accordance
with GETA. The EO states, "It is the policy of the Government of the
United States to develop its employees through the establishment and
operation of progressive and efficient training programs, thereby
improving public service, increasing efficiency and economy, building
and retaining a force of skilled and efficient employees, and in-
stalling and using the best modern practices and techniques in the
conduct of the Government's business."
"The head of each agency shall plan, program, budget, operate
and evaluate training programs in accordance with the GETA and with
the policy set forth in section 102 of this order." Other key re-
sponsibilities of each agency head include: a) encourage self-
development by employees; b) develop and use agency facilities for
training; c) use interagency training programs where appropriate;
e) regularly determine training requirements to bring about more
effective performance at the least possible cost; 0 establish
training facilities and services as needed; g) establish criteria
for the selection of employees for training.

NON-AGENCY TRAINING 1
Each year, thousands of CIA employees attend some type of non-
Agency training program. Since the requireml.nts of the Agency touch
on so many unusual and divergent fields, it Is impossible for all
training requirements to be met internally. In any one month em-
ployees will spend many manhours participatag in external training,
on a full or part-time basis, at a universiti or college, at a mili-
tary facility or another Government agency, commercial firm, or
perhaps taking a correspondence course. Employees from all Directo-
rates participate in external training. Locitions of training sites
are scattered from Washington and its immedilte vicinity to New Mexico,
from Taichung to London. The duration of thise programs varies from
three days to a year or more.
The Agency's external training program is administered and moni-
tored by OTR': Instructional Support Staff; ipecifically, the Ad-
missions, Information, and Records Branch (01R/ISS/AIR). Public Law
85-507, the "Government Employees Training Alt" (GETA), is the blan-
25X1A ket authority for all Agency training, and 1-14adquarters Regulation
IIIIIII'Training at Non-Agency Facility," defines Agency policy rela-
25X1A tive to GETA. states that the Director of Training "designate
the non-CIA facility which can most appropriitely and economically
meet the requirement, and set the administrative requirements for
Agency personnel in approved courses or progiams."
Agency need is the principal criterion or determining who will
be sponsored for external training. The GETA prohibits sending an
employee to college primarily for the sake oi earning a degree. If,
however, the Agency needs a specific skill(s), and the individual se-
lected for the training achieves a degree asja by-product, there is
neither Agency objection nor GETA prohibitioi.
As the responsible office for carrying 4ut this activity, ISS/AIR
screens and processes requests for non-Agencl training. It coordinates
nominations and enrollments and handles the Administrative details as-
sociated with the training, insuring that fiiancial, budgetary, security,
and cover requirements are met. ISS/AIR preiares travel orders, tuition/
travel advances, and reimbursements, and certifies billings and invoices
for payment. This financial processing is cAntralized and is not con-
tingent upon budget location.

For the duration of the training, ISS/AIR becomes the administrative
office for employees sponsored for long-range programs outside the local
area. ISS/AIR briefs trainees before their departure for these programs
and for programs where Agency representation is a prime factor; when a
training agreement is required; in external language cases; and for cer-
tain other specialized programs. For other sponsored programs,
appropriate briefing sheets are provided.
The document for requesting external training, Form 136, "Request
for Training at non-Agency Facility," serves as an authorizing contract
for the expenditure of training funds, regardless of budget location.
It is designed to meet OTR's requirements as well, as those of other Agency
components; i.e., one of the fanfold copies serves as official notifica-
tion of a non-Agency activity to the Office of Security/Employees Activi-
ties Branch; another is retained by the Central Cover Staff if cover is
involved; and the original contract is retained by the Office of Finance
Certifying Officer if an expenditure of training funds, other than travel
and per diem, is authorized. The Form 136 also serves as the input
document to the Office of Computer Services for inclusion of the completed
training program in the official Agency Training Record (ATR). (See
page 14)
Each request is reviewed to insure that the training objective is
valid and meaningful and that the training, if approved, would be in
accordance with Agency regulations and policy and the Government Em-
ployees Training Act. Other factors which are considered before approv-
ing any application include the possibility of meeting the requirement
through internal capabilities; the appropriateness and comparative cost;
qualification of the employee in relation to course prerequisites; the
availability of funds; and cover and security aspects. In certain cases
a Continued Service Agreement, commonly known as a training agreement,
is required: full-time academic training of three months or more, or
training at any non-Government facility for which the combined cost of
tuition, travel, and per diem exceeds $1,000. ISS/AIR briefs employees
required to sign such Agreements, witnesses the Agreements, and keeps
the Office of Personnel and Office of Finance informed of such cases.
OTR/ISS/AIR coordinates enrollments in external courses in a vari-
ety of ways. Each case is treated individually, and in the majority of
instances, AIR enrolls the employee directly. In some cases arrange-
ments are made for the employee to be enrolled by the Central Cover
Staff; in others, the employee is requested to enroll personally as a
private individual; and sometimes the employee's component handles the
enrollment. The latter is particularly true in cases of technical/main-
tenance training at factories and plants, where cleared contacts are
available.

Consideration of cover in external traiding cannot be emphasized
too strongly. All requests for employees whd have been or are pre-
sently under cover, or those for whom a coved backstop is planned, must
be forwarded to the Central Cover Staff priof to submission to OTR. CCS
has responsibility for approving all cover adpects of the training pro-
gram, briefing employees on the use of approlied cover, and, in coordina-
tion with OTR, handling the actual enrollmenf through established cover
channels.
General budgetary planning precedes anyitraining activity. At
one time OTR funded the Agency's entire extefnal training program,
but with the adoption of planning, programmidg, and budgeting in CIA,
external training budgeting was decentralized. OTR now only budgets
for Training Selection Board programs, coursds
with the exception of language trdining; and selected De-
partment of Defense (DOD) weapons courses inlwhich spaces are allocated
to the Agency on a quota basis. At present, the following courses are
included in this DOD budget block:
Nuclear Weapons Orientation Advancdd, Defense Atomic
Support Agency, Sandia Base, N.N.
Ballistic Missile Staff Course, Stfategic Air Command,
Vandenberg Air Force Base
Missile System and Logistical Supp4rt Orientation, Dept.
of the Army, Redstone Arsenal, 41abama
Fundamentals of Space Operations, lept. of Air Force,
Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama
Space Orientation, Dept. of Air Foice, Maxwell Air Force
Base, Alabama
OTR must insure that the necessary docudentation for recording
the completion of training at external facilities is submitted by the
employee for incorporation in his individuallpersonnel record and in
the Agency Training Record. Evidence of comiletion may be in one or
more of several forms; among them, a certifiiate issued by the training
facility, grade report, certification signedlby the employee, or train-
ing critique. The critique is useful to boti the student and OTR in
bringing the training into focus and in checling on the effectiveness
and applicability of specific courses. It provides timely information
about the facility and course, serves as a aide with regard to future
participation, and as an administrative aid in future enrollments.
In summary, Agency policy, following thr lead of the Federal Gov-
ernment, specifically recognizes the desirability of external training
as a supplement to self-development and internal training. OTR/ISS/AIR
can provide preliminary information on a widr range of training oppor-
tunities at non-Agency facilities, and will itdminister and monitor the
training effort once a final decision is madr to proceed with a specific
program.

TRAINING SELECTION BOARD
The CIA Training Selection Board was established 1 January 1964
for the purpose of selecting candidates to participate in external
training programs where effective representation of the Agency is
considered by the Board to be a significant criterion for nomination.
At present the Board operates in accordance with Headquarters Regu-
lation As stated in this regulation, the mission of the Board
is to: (1) Assure effective selection of candidates for non-CIA
training programs where representation of the Agency is deemed by
the Board to be a significant criterion for selection; and (2) eval-
uate training opportunities available through non-CIA facilities.
The Chairman of the Training Selection Board is the Director of
Training, who also is the representative of the Executive Director-
Comptroller. Another ex officio member of the Board is the Director
of Personnel, who at the same time is the representative of the
Support Services. There are three other members of the Board, one
representative each from the Directorate for Intelligence, the
Directorate for Science and Technology, and the Clandestine Service.
The Executive Secretary of the Board is assigned to the OTR
Instructional Support Staff.
At present there are thirty courses and programs, including
the Senior Officer Schools, under the purview of the Training
Selection Board. Nominations for Senior Officer Schools, the
Federal Executive Institute, and the Fellowships in Congressional
Operations, after review and endorsement by the Board, are sub-
mitted to the Executive Director-Comptroller for final approval.
Final selection of Agency representatives in the other courses and
programs under its jurisdiction is the responsibility of the
Training Selection Board. Courses and programs listed are those
on which Training Selection Board action is required. Nominations
are submitted to the Board through the Senior Training Officer of
each Directorate.

sponsored by the Agency. !Agency sponsorship is
dependent on the availabillity of funds, the bene-
fit of the training to th12 Agency, and the com-
pliance with the provisictis of the Government
Employees Training Act. Ilpplications are sub-
mitted to OTR through thel Training Officer accord-
ing to instructions on th12 form. When approved by
OTR, the form serves as tile contract for authori-
zation of expenditure of 'training funds, as the
notification to the Offid of Security, and as
the training input documelit for the Agency Train-
ing Record. (See page 11)

REQUEST FOR INTERNAL TRAINING
(Form 73)
A model of Form 73 "Request for Internal Training," the form
used to apply for admission to courses given by OTR or other compon-
ents, is reproduced on page lp for your convenience. Most blocks
are self-explanatory, but noted below are several items which require
careful and concise completion.
Item 1. The name appearing here is normally that used on all
official records. If, for security reasons, an individual is to take
the course under another name, it is to be entered here. The employee
serial number should be provided in this block.
Item 4. The original EOD date is entered here, not an EOD re-
sulting from a return from overseas, from a transfer between Agency
elements, or from some other administrative action. This information
has significance because admission to some OTR courses depends on
total length of service.
Item 11. (Formerly Item 8) Careful thought should be given to
the information submitted in this block. A general picture of the
experience of the applicant plus an accurate description of his cur-
rent or projected assignment help OTR provide appropriate training.
The information serves a twofold purpose. OTR uses it to determine
the qualifications and priority status of the applicant and instruc-
tors use this information to structure courses to the needs and ex-
perience of the students. Much valuable time is lost if instructors
must wait until the first day of the course to obtain this information
from the students.
NOTE: Full date and place of birth and Social Security number,
when required for specific courses, should be entered in Item 11.
Item 12. This information is important and should be as accurate
as possible.
Item 14. This date, estimated or otherwise, has a bearing on
priority of admission to some OTR courses. It should be filled in
whenever applicable.
Item 15 and 16. Copy Number 2 (pink), the instructor's copy,
must be an exact duplicate of the original, including the required
signature. The supervisor's name should appear in typewritten form
along with the signature.
Item 18. Although the reverse side of the form is for OTR's use,
this block may be used if, for example, Item 11 has to be continued or
if any qualifying comments will further assist OTR/ISS/AIR or the in-
structors.

AGENCY TRAINING RECORD
Headquarters Regulation states:
The Director of Training shall maintain the Official Training
Record, for career management and other purposes, to show parti-
cipation in and satisfactory completionlof all Agency-sponsored
training, except on-the-job training, afproved by the Director
of Training.
The Agency Training Record is a comput4ized listing of
individual employee training, conducted or sfonsored by the Agency.
It includes OTR courses, most internal progrials conducted by other
components, courses given at Headquarters urWer contract with outside
firms, and Agency sponsored training at non-q.gency facilities. The
Record does not reflect participation in infkrmal or special-purpose
training of short duration such as briefings! lectures, conferences,
professional meetings, or orientation and f*iliarization tours; nor
does it reflect training taken and paid for 1,y a student.
The information for the Record is prepak-ed and maintained by the
Instructional Support Staff in OTR. Seven-yi.ar cumulative reports
are computer-produced semi-annually. These reports are printed out
in various forms:
1. Alphabetical listing of students byiname.
2. Listing by office of assignment and l then students alpha-
betically within the office, giving the course or courses
taken. This report is distributed t'_o Senior Training
Officers and Component Training Offfcers.
3. Listing by service designation, wig' students recorded
alphabetically within the service oWsignation, giving
the course or courses taken. This [-eport is distributed
to Senior Training Officers and Corl)onent Training Officers.
Another report by Service Designation is comOiled annually by
calendar year. One cumulative report was pplished in January
1969 and only annual supplements are now beilig issued. This listing
is sent to selected Senior Training Officers! and Component Training
Officers.
Information for computer input is obtailled from the Form 136,
"Request for Training at Non-Agency Facilityi," Form 73, "Request
for Internal Training," and rosters submitteli to OTR on training
given by components or under contract.

THE AGENCY'S ADVANCED COURSES
The career development of professional employees of the Agency
can be expanded in a number of OTR advanced courses. By attending
these courses, the employees' background can be broadened in rela-
tion to the overall Agency mission regardless of component or field
of specialization. The programs, presently administered by the
various Schools, should be examined in toto rather than by title or
the School which administers it. A careful reading of the course
descriptions, which give course content, will be of assistance in
making a selection.
The subject matter of the courses relates to (1) the Agency,
(2) the Intelligence Community, (3) the foreign policy making
structure of the government and, sometimes, (4) international -
and possibly domestic - affairs affecting intelligence.
Listed below are the major advanced courses. The School which
has the responsibility for content is also given. Some of these
are geared to the needs of and restricted to a single directorate;
others are offered to officers of all directorates. The distinc-
tion is noted in the list.
1. Advanced Intelligence Seminar (AIS) - School of
Intelligence and World Affairs (all)
2. Mid-Career Executive Development Course (MEDC)
Support School (all)
3. Advanced Operations Course (AOC) - Operations
School (CS only)
4. Operations
School (CS only)
5. Support Services Review: Trends and Highlights
Support School (primarily for Support Services
personnel)
Care should be taken to discriminate between the AIS and the
MEDC. One is not a substitute for the other though they have much
in common; thus a student should not go to both within a two year

quotas, is not open to senior officers.

THE LANGUAGE SCHOOL
The mission of the Language School is: (1) to provide language
training for Agency personnel; (2) to conduct proficiency testing
required to maintain the Agency's inventory of language skills; and
(3) to support the activities of the Agency's Language Development
Committee.
Training in foreign languages is accomplished in a highly
varied program ranging from intensive full-time courses of 52 weeks
to short part-time familiarization programs. Instruction is of-
fered in twenty-two languages including, under special circumstances,
English as a foreign language. The School has a limited potential
to offer training in eight other languages. Although most of the
training requirements are for combined speaking, understanding and
reading courses, the Language School also offers separate courses
in speaking, reading, aural comprehension, and in certain specialized
areas.
The bulk of internal foreign language instruction is presented
in the Language School. The School maintains a facility outside
the Washington area where students go for two to five days of total
immersion in the language, after they have had a thorough grounding
in the basics of the language. For the most part, training is con-
ducted by native speakers, many of whom are multi-lingual. The
native speaker instructors are supervised by a staff of trained,
experienced linguists.
Two language laboratories, one in the Language School and one
in the Headquarters Building, are available to support this training
effort. The laboratories are well equipped and include tapes in
sixty different languages. The Headquarters laboratory is open 24
hours a day. The laboratory in the Language School is open 24 hours
a day and is manned from 0800 to 1730 hours each day. The Language
School library maintains a collection of language and linguistics
books as well as a tape lending service. These services are avail-
able to all Agency employees through the Language School Librarian.
The Agency Language Proficiency Testing Program establishes
the current language competence among Agency employees, thereby
giving management a register of language competence to measure
against job requirements. The Language School routinely tests in

about thirty-five languages and can make use (f certain external
testing facilities for other languages under Vpecial circumstances.
Ways to improve tests and testing methods areiconstantly being
sought to insure an effective and accurate mehsurement of language
competence.
The Language School engages in research ond study to improve
the quality of language training. A continuihg effort is made to
acquire the best in texts and other training haterials. When
existing texts and supplemental materials ares not appropriate, the
Language School staff develops its own subject matter. Units of
programmed instruction are regularly being adhed to one or another
of the Language School courses. Language taps are continuously
being updated and improved. Application of COmputer Assisted
Instruction, video-tape and closed circuit teLevision in language
training is being studied. Cassette tape recprders are being pro-
vided to students for home study purposes, anO the Language School
is continuing to study the use of the cassett.i recorder as a
language laboratory instrument.

LANGUAGE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES
Courses offered by the Language School are listed in the Guide
that follows. In addition to these languages, the Language School
has a limited capability in Danish, Swahili, Lingala, Azerbaijani,
Latvian, Estonian, Lithuanian and Hebrew.
Enrollment in all courses is accomplished by submitting a Re-
quest for Internal Training to OTR/ISS/AIR at least six weeks in
advance of the scheduled training (see OTR Schedule of Courses).
Language training should be requested by Course Title -- Language
and number (e.g., Russian 753). Before the training begins, each
student is required to take the Modern Language Aptitude Test (MLAT)
administered by the Psychological Services Staff. Students should
be well briefed by their components as to the expected accomplish-
ment at the Language School so that all are in agreement concerning
training goals.
Except for a few courses in Russian offered at Headquarters,
and the Before-and-After Hours (BAHLT) program, all courses are
conducted at the Language School. Under special circumstances,
certain off-premises language training of a sensitive nature can
be arranged by contacting Chief, Special Training, LS/TR. Most
full-time training includes one or more 2-5 day total immersion
sessions at an out-of-town OTR language training facility.
Three to six students usually comprise a class. The Language
School reserves the right to cancel scheduled courses when less
than three students are signed up for the course. Individual tu-
torial instruction is normally not offered, primarily for economic
reasons. However, when instructors are free and space is avail-
able, such instruction will be considered.
Please note that "expected proficiencies" as shown in the
course descriptions are for well motivated students of average
language aptitude. Some students with higher aptitude may do
better, those with less than average aptitude may not achieve
the indicated proficiency level. Poorly motivated students will
probably not achieve these levels.
In instances where courses are offered a specified number of
times each year, see the Schedule of Courses for beginning dates.

In those instances where the offering is "to be negotiated," the
responsible office and the Language School will work out the de-
tails of starting and ending dates, number ofIstudents and special
problems. It is expected that students will emain in language
training for the entire course Early withdrjwal must be by memo-
randum, approved by the Deputy Director concejned.1
In addition to those courses listed in tie Catalog, other
language training is available as follows:
a. Advanced Language Trainipg. To: the degree possible,
advanced students will be accepted if thiy can be fitted into
an ongoing class, or if space, instructols and availability
of students with similar qualifications jermit the forming of
a special class. Only in exceptional cajes will students be
accepted for training above the "3" ("2" in Chinese and
Japanese) level and no training will be 4,ffered above the "4"
level.
b. Comprehension Training. Where !istening and under-
standing are the prime requisites, fulHime and part-time
comprehension training can be arranged.

d. Clandestine Service Language Maintenance Program.
The CS Language Maintenance Program is funded by the Office
of Training and is managed by the CS Training Officer. The
purpose of the program is to enable employees with a tested
proficiency of at least an "S-2-2+" (depending upon the lan-
guage) to maintain or improve their proficiency. Instruction
is provided by competent staff employees tested and approved
by the Language School. Classes meet twice a week through-
out the year. Classes are organized if there is a sufficient
demand for such training and if appropriate instructors are
available. Enrollment in these classes is by application to
the CS Training Officer.
Information on any of the programs listed, or special programs
desired, may be obtained from the appropriate Department Chief of
the Language School except as noted in c. and d. above.

SCHOOL OF INTELLIGENCE & WORLD AFFAIRS
The School of Intelligence & World Affairs (SIWA) conducts
training programs for professionals from all parts of the Agency
on the following subjects:
Intelligence Orientation
International Affairs
Communications Skills and Techniques
Research and Analysis Skills and Techniques
Area and Overseas Orientation
The School also provides briefings and briefing support on these
subjects for both Agency and non-Agency audiences, and participates
in covert tutorial training programs.
SIWA programs provide not only basic orientation and familiar-
ization but also remedial or upgrading training for junior grade
officers, especially in communications, research, and analysis
skills and techniques. Other programs focus on the needs of middle-
and senior-grade officers, such as Intelligence Briefing, Conference
Participation, and the Advanced Intelligence Seminar.
Faculty members also lecture and participate in panel discussions
in courses given by other OTR schools, in training programs of other
components of CIA, and in schools of other agencies. For example,
briefings on the Intelligence Community, CIA, Communism and overseas
orientation are given for the Office of Communication's Student and
Wives' Overseas Orientation Program (SWOOP).
Each year a number of courses are given for professionals from
a single office. Some of these use the same content and method as
courses given for employees from all offices; others are adapted to
the specific needs of the individual office. The latter are provided
in response to requests and require, in addition, a survey of the
specific needs and problems of the office. Courses which have been
given for individual offices in the last few years include Writing
Workshops, Intelligence Research Techniques, Introduction to Map
Reading and Imagery Analysis, Intelligence Briefing, Conference
Techniques, Introduction to Intelligence, and Introduction to
Communism.

for professional employees. The largest coninuing enrollment in
any SIWA course is that in the four-week Intdlligence Orientation,
of which Introduction to Intelligence and Intiroduction to Communism
are the principal components. This four-week course is required
for all new Agency professionals. SIWA also !gives a five-week
Intelligence and World Affairs Course for Cat2er Trainees and others
by nomination of their office. A short reort2ntation, the monthly
CIA Review, is given to recent returnees troll overseas.
Special orientation courses or short retresher briefings,
planned to meet the needs of groups from oneffice, are given on
request. Such courses have been given for gOups of Clandestine
Service contract personnel; a regular seriesipf special orientation
programs are given as part of the Office of qmmunication's training

at Ft. Benning, Ft. Knox and Ft. Belvoir. Briefings are also given
for academic, business, and professional groups when approved by
Agency officials. Special tutorial programs, ranging in length from
a few hours to several days,are also conducted, at the request of
the CS, . These may involve not
only SIWA personnel but also instructors from other OTR Schools and
experts from the various Directorates of the Agency.
The Briefing Support Officer assists the Briefing Officer in
the coordination of external requests for CIA speakers, according
to procedures in He is also responsible for the planning
and administration of briefing programs for groups visiting CIA at
which speakers generally come from the executive level of the Agency.
Such groups include businessmen sponsored by the Brookings Institu-
tion, the JCS-DIA program, and the "Day at CIA" programs conducted
for such groups as FSI's Senior Seminar in Foreign Policy and for
NSA's Senior Cryptologic Course.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Courses in international affairs are part of the introductory
training of new Agency professionals. Introduction to Communism,
part of the four-week Intelligence Orientation required for all new
professionals, provides familiarization with the USSR, Communist
China and with Communist parties world-wide, and with emerging world
problems such as nationalism. Intelligence and World Affairs, the
five-week introductory course for Career Trainees and others, covers
world problems affecting U.S. policy interests and includes in-depth
study of the Communist world.
COMMUNICATIONS SKILLS
SIWA provides opportunities for improving several types of
job-related communications skills: writing, briefing, conference
participation, reading, and listening.
In its Writing Workshops, SIWA provides training in the types
of writing needed by CIA. These workshops are given at the basic
and intermediate level for employees from all parts of the Agency.
In addition, special Writing Workshops, planned to meet the spe-
cific writing needs and problems of an individual office, are given

the types of writing and the writing problems of the office. He
may make suggestions for improving the officWs written output--
often including recommendations for the establishment of editorial
standards by supervisors and editors--as well as for the development
of a course. Employees who are unable to atdmid a regular Writing
Workshop can be enrolled in a writing corresb)ndence course, which
is administered by SIWA.
Intelligence Briefing courses are normally offered for Agency
professionals who have or will have briefing as one of their respon-
sibilities. Some of the students' briefings !are videotaped so that
each student can see and hear himself as his laudience does. When an
individual office has a sufficiently large gOup of students, a
special course may be given.
The Conference Participation course is available for supervisors
and managers who either lead or participate ln conferences. This
course may be given for a single office when!it has a large enough
number of people to be trained.
The Reading Improvement course is usually given under contract
by an outside organization. This course helOs the student to increase
both his reading rate and level of comprehen4ion and to overcome
reading problems.
An Effective Listening course, also conducted under contract by
a non-Agency organization, after experimental offerings and deter-
mination of its value to the Agency, may be presented on a continuing
basis.
RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS SKILLS
Three courses given in SIWA provide det4iled orientation to the
Directorate of Intelligence and to the reseaich and analysis techni-
ques used in that Directorate in producing is finished intelligence
reports. A fourth course deals with two basic research techniques
(map reading and imagery analysis) which areof value in many parts
of the Agency.
Two of the courses in research and anallsis are given for CTs
and others by nomination of their office: Ittelligence Techniques,
to familiarize them with the production of finished intelligence;
and Intelligence Production, to prepare thos4 whose careers will be
in the Directorate of Intelligence. The latter is the only regular
SIWA course given primarily for the Director4te of Intelligence.

The Intelligence Research Techniques course is generally given
only upon request from an office having a sufficient number of stu-
dents to constitute a class and is developed to meet the specific
needs of that office. In the past, this course has been given in
versions ranging from two to ten weeks, full-time, for analysts from
Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI), and in a two week full-time
version for imagery analysts, research analysts, research assistants,
and librarians from NPIC.
Special seminars for either junior or senior analysts on
research problems or on research on particular substantive subjects
or geographical areas will be developed and planned upon request.
For example, OTR coordinated a seminar on Western Hemisphere pro-
blems for officers from one division. Such seminars might range in
length from one day to a week. OTR can provide facilities either
in its building or at training sites out of town for undisturbed
work.
The Introduction to Map Reading and Imagery Analysis familiarizes
professionals from any Directorate with these two basic research
skills. Map reading is taught principally through the use of a pro-
grammed text; imagery analysis of photographs is taught primarily by
laboratory type exercises using the photo interpreter's tools.
AREA AND OVERSEAS ORIENTATION
Detailed courses on the USSR and on Communist China are given
for professionals and research assistants working on these two high
priority countries. Basic Country Survey: USSR provides current
coverage of Soviet strengths, problems, and policies. China Famil-
iarization provides an orientation to Communist China and to the
Chinese language. Geography of Communist China and Geography of the
USSR provide detailed study of the geography of these countries.
The Orientation for Overseas is given for all personnel scheduled
to go overseas for the first time and for their adult dependents.
Registrants are provided readings on their country of destination and
are given suggestions on adjustment to life overseas and to methods
of relating successfully to people in other countries.

THE SUPPORT SCHOOL
Many of the courses offered by the Support School have general
applicability throughout the Agency. Although the name may imply
that this School is concerned primarily with the training of personnel
from the Support Services, this is not the case. Only one of the
courses -- Support Services Review: Trends and Highlights -- applies
specifically to careerists of the Support Directorate.
Training responsibilities within the Support School are divided
between a Deputy Chief for Management Training and a Deputy Chief for
Administrative Training. Management Training offers training in dif-
ferent aspects of management and supervisory skills through the fol-
lowing courses: Supervision, Management, Managerial Grid, Advanced
Management (Planning) and Senior Management Seminar (Planning). The
Midcareer Executive Development Course is also included under Manage-
ment Training. Administrative Training conducts courses in finance
and logistics, administrative procedures (those employed by admin-
istrative personnel in the Headquarters environment), the Support
Services Review: Trends and Highlights, and provides administrative
assistance to the Director of Computer Services in offering orienta-
tion in automatic data processing. In addition, its Clerical Training
Branch provides general instruction for clerical employees entering
on duty as well as specialized training just prior to their assignment
to a specific job; it provides refresher training in typewriting and
shorthand for incumbent clerical employees, and administers the
Agency's qualifications tests in clerical skills.
Although the bulk of the training provided by the Support School
is presented through the formal courses described in the following
pages, arrangements can be made for tailoring the subject matter of
the courses to the needs of particular offices or for presenting it
on a tutorial basis, primarily in the areas of clerical and support
services training.
MANAGEMENT TRAINING
Training in supervision and management has been given in the Agency
since 1954. Since that time, it has undergone many changes in an effort
to keep up with the best thinking in the field and the most effective

In conducting management and supervisoly training, the Support
School has proceeded from the following assimptions. Managers ought to
manage. Some do not do as well as they mignt. Intuition, common sense,
or specialized or on-the-job experience mayinot be enough. A short
course will not necessarily make a person an effective manager, but it
can get him to think about management and his own way of going about it.
It cannot give specific applications and rules of thumb for each person's
unique situation, but it can offer a varietl) of concepts which an indi-
vidual can relate to his own practices. Th d best learning takes place
when students are actively involved; when afree exchange of ideas takes
place; when there is no evaluation of the stiudents; and when the instruc-
tor's role is that of guide and clarifier rather than dispenser of all
wisdom and knowledge.
At the present time, five courses are baing offered on a regular
basis: Supervision, Management, the Manageial Grid, Advanced Manage-
ment (Planning), and Senior Management Semibar (Planning); the latter
is limited to personnel in grades GS-15 and !above and is conducted by
the "outside" consultant who designed the cciirse.
SUPERVISION
This course, formerly limited to first-Oine supervisors between
the grades of GS-05 through GS-10, has been :hanged to permit attend-
ance by first-line supervisors of any grade is well as a number of
non-supervisors. Since much of the learning is derived from group
and team discussions involving mutual exchanke of experience, a mix
of not less than 40% current supervisors, wihh 60% either with past
experience as Agency supervisors or anticipahing early supervisory
assignments, is preferred.
The essence of supervision is getting things done through people.
More specifically, the goals of the Managemeht Training Faculty are
to enhance the supervisory effectiveness of ktudents through:
a. Facilitating exchange of expert ence between students
through discussions and team exercises;
b. Encouraging students' examinat!on of their own styles,
methods, and effectiveness as supervisors;
c. Familiarizing them with the co cepts, approaches and
research findings of experts in the field.
The techniques employed which are desigied to result in maximum
student involvement include team exercises, liiscussions, and role
playing as well as films and lectures. Amon'. the subjects covered are

motivation, communication, problem-solving/decision-making, supervisory
responsibilities, performance appraisal and employee development.
About 2 - 3 hours pre-course reading are required and a number of arti-
cles are assigned for reading during the week. Management Training
Faculty emphasizes practical, rather than theoretical, problems
encountered by Agency supervisors.
MANAGEMENT
This is a one-week program for persons of any grade currently in
an assignment involving the management of supervisors or other managers
(i.e., second level supervisors).
The objective of the Management Course is to point the way toward
more effective management by providing participants an opportunity:
a. To acquire up-to-date knowledge of various theories
and concepts of management and managerial behavior;
b. To develop basic skills characteristic of effective
managers -- listening and communicating, problem-solving and decision-
making, motivating, planning, controlling;
c. To examine attitudes, assumptions and values about people
and about work.
This course utilizes a variety of teaching methods and is designed
to promote a maximum amount of individual involvement through the medium
of team activity. Lectures are held to a minimum, and students are
encouraged to learn by doing.
THE MANAGERIAL GRID
The Grid is given for GS-13's and above (GS-12's admitted on a
space available basis). It also constitutes the first week of the
Midcareer Executive Development Course, so if it seems likely that an
employee will be attending the MEDC, he should not be enrolled in this
Managerial Grid.
The Grid is a copyrighted course designed by Scientific Methods,
Inc. It starts on Sunday afternoon and goes through Friday afternoon
and includes evening work every night. The pace is intensive. Among
the goals are familiarization with the Managerial Grid theories, team
action, group dynamics and feedback on individual managerial style.
The technique used is to have teams work on assigned tasks, first as
individuals, then as a team. The teams report back in a general ses-
sion, and the results are compared and contrasted. (It is desirable
to take the Grid before the Advanced Management (Planning) course.)

ADVANCED MANAGEMENT (PLANNING) COURSE AD SENIOR MANAGEMENT
SEMINAR (PLANNING)
These courses are offered to all line aid staff officers who have
a need for better understanding of systemati planning. They were de-
signed for the Agency by consultants from Edt.cational Systems and
Designs, Inc. of Westport, Connecticut. The:Senior Management Seminar
(Planning) [SMS (p)] is for GS-15's and abovi and is conducted by the
ESD consultant. The Advanced Management (Plimning) Course (AMP) is
conducted for GS-13's and 14's by OTR and isi the same course as the
SMS(P) except for some minor modifications mide in response to changing
needs.
The training establishes a specific metlodology for planning;
identifies selected techniques used in planning; stimulates analysis
of different planning styles; and outlines tie Agency's system for
planning, programming, and budgeting.
Required pre-course reading may consume:twenty or more hours, and
the week of in-residence training involves aitightly planned schedule
of day and evening sessions.
The training is designed to increase individual effectiveness on
the job by providing a better understanding if planning as a managerial
skill and a familiarization with the Agency' t planning system. Case
studies emphasizing science-based management are taken from real organ-
izations, including the Agency. As with the!Managerial Grid, planning
problems are assigned to small work groups ad to smaller teams, where
barriers to group and team effectiveness canlbe recognized (and perhaps
weeded out as the week progresses).

MIDCAREER EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT COURSE
The Midcareer Executive Development Coutse was inaugurated in
October 1963. The course, popularly known afi the Midcareer Course,
resulted from the intense interest of the thin Deputy Director of
Central Intelligence, the Executive Director4Comptroller, and the
Director of Training.
The course provides generalist training to prepare midcareerists
to assume broader responsibilities and executive positions. It is
offered four times a year; the duration is six weeks. The thirty-
four members of each course are from the fout Directorates and the
Office of the Director, each of which has anlestablished quota.

Grid Seminar.
25X1A Phase II,
"W is concerned with the activities, problems, and interorgani-
zationa relationships of the Agency, and, to a lesser extent, with
the activities of certain other members of the Intelligence Community.
Senior officers of CIA and other organizations represented on the U.S.
Intelligence Board discuss questions of intelligence collection, pro-
duction, evaluation, and support at top levels of consideration. In
addition to lectures, this phase includes group discussions, student
presentations, selected readings, seminars, and some visits to instal-
lations of the Intelligence Community.
Nor"'
Phase III focuses primarily on the involvement of the United
States in international affairs, with some attention devoted to sig-
nificant domestic matters. Classroom presentations are given at the
Support School facilities or at Headquarters. Speakers for this
segment are from agencies and departments of the U.S. Government and
from the academic world. During this last phase a field trip is made
to selected military bases and installations and space centers in the
United States. Among these have been Strategic Air Command Headquarters
at Omaha, Nebraska; the Minuteman Missile Complex at Cheyenne, Wyoming;
North American Air Defense Command Headquarters at Colorado Springs,
Colorado; the Manned Spacecraft Center at Houston, Texas; the Defense
Atomic Support Agency's Field Command at Sandia Base, Albuquerque, New
Mexico; and both NASA and U.S. Air Force installations at Cape Kennedy,
Florida. The field trip serves as a dramatic manifestation of U.S.
strategic offensive and defensive capabilities and problems, and of
the Nation's commitment to the exploration and exploitation of space.
The course usually opens with a welcome by the Deputy Director of
Central Intelligence or Executive Director-Comptroller and concludes,
after an address by a prominent United States official, academician,
or private citizen, with a meeting with the Director of Central
Intelligence.
ADMINISTRATIVE TRAINING
The Administrative Training elements of the Support School respond
specifically to the training requirements of the Support Services and to
requests for assistance in component-managed training given specifically
for component personnel. In addition to the regular courses, a sub-
stantial amount of training within the general context of the Support
School curriculum is given on a tutorial basis. The majority of students

in the Administrative Procedures Course and iq the Field Finance and
Logistics Course are Clandestine Service care!rists. In the former,
generally young clerks and typists receive adlitional training related
to administrative support to the CS. In the latter, young men and
women, on the eve of their overseas assignment to work as generalists
in small stations and bases, receive training in a variety of support-
type functions.
FIELD FINANCE AND LOGISTICS
This three-week course prepares administrative and support personnel
to assume finance and/or logistics responsibtlities
The course includes a familiarization
with regulatory provisions an t eir application to typical cases. Sub-
jects covered in the finance phase are custodial responsibilities, field
financial management, and the maintenance ofiappropriate financial
records. The logistics phase deals with overseas housing, vehicle
management, shipment and storage of household effects, and the procure-
ment, recording, and disposition of property; Practical exercises in-
clude the preparation of a simulated voucher:for foreign travel. Either
the finance phase or the logistics phase may be taken separately, but
applicants should be anticipating an overseas assignment with finance or
logistics responsibilities.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
This course prepares students for work in Headquarters offices of
the Clandestine Service, and in other offices of the Agency that work
with the Clandestine Service and provide supiort to overseas installa-
tions.
The course is in two parts. All students attend the first three
and a half days and receive instruction in tte missions and functions
of the Clandestine Service, security problem, in overseas correspondence,
dispatch, telepouch and cable procedures, doSestic travel and reimburse-
ment voucher preparation, and familiarizatiot with operational terminol-
ogy. Non-Clandestine Service-sponsored studtnts complete the course
with this instruction. Clandestine Service-tponsored students receive
another day and a half of instruction in CS Lecords, name checks, and
project procedures.
Most new employees are expected to spent from four to six weeks in
their first assignment before being enrolled; in Administrative Procedures.
This gives the employee time to assimilate evtrance-on-duty briefings
and instructions and to become familiar with. the appearance and tempo of
the office.

SUPPORT SERVICES REVIEW: TRENDS AND HIGHLIGHTS
This four and one half day course,
25X1A is for professional careerists in the Support Services in grades
GS-09 through GS-15. (To assure a continuing input of women into the
course, exceptions will be made on an individual basis to accommodate
senior secretaries in grades GS-06, 07, and 08 from Offices and Divisions
of the Support Services.) Developed at the specific request of the Deputy
Director for Support, it is intended to accomplish two major objectives:
to permit persons from the different Offices to learn more about compo-
nents other than their own; and to permit persons from the different
Offices to get to know one another personally.
Participants are exposed to aspects of Agency support activity, and
attention is centered on significant trends and developments in the
Support Services rather than on organization and mission. Senior officers
from the major elements present their respective subjects, including pre-
sentations on automatic data processing, records management, and planning,
programming and budgeting. A special feature is a demonstration of
communications equipment and research and a visit to the Agency Records
Center.
Enrollment is limited to forty-eight from the Support Services. In
addition, two spaces each are allotted to the other Directorates.
CLERICAL TRAINING
The Clerical Training Faculty has responsibility for three
instructional programs: Induction Training, given to employees at
the time of entrance on duty with the Agency; Orientation Training,
given after Induction classes have been completed and immediately
preceding Agency assignment; and Refresher Training, available at
any time it is required after employees are assigned to an Agency
office. Although attendance in the Induction and Orientation classes
is included in the regular entry-on-duty routine and no individual
action is necessary to effect registration, admission to Refresher
Training classes requires the submission of a "Request for Internal
Training."
INDUCTION TRAINING
Induction Training is given weekly and stresses speed development
and remedial work in shorthand and typewriting for those who fail to
meet the Agency's standards in these skills. This training includes
a review of English grammar and punctuation, a survey of certain geo-
graphical, political, and economic aspects of areas in Europe and Asia

(these continents are covered in alternate weAs); an introduction to
the Agency's filing system; and a review of diplication processes,
care of the typewriter, correction procedures, and other related of-
fice practices.
CLERICAL ORIENTATION TRAINING
Clerical Orientation is given weekly fran Tuesday morning through
mid-afternoon on Friday. This course covers the following topics:
National security and the CIA, mailing procedires, publications, office
protocol, safe operations, time and attendanc2, and supplies and serv-
ices. Three workshops are conducted for the '3reparation of correspond-
ence; telephone techniques are stressed in a Lecture and in a film, and
four laboratory sessions are given in the hanlling of the two more
widely used types of Agency telephones.
CLERICAL REFRESHER TRAINING
Refresher Training is for Agency employs who need assistance in
rebuilding typewriting or shorthand skills, or who require instruction
to remedy faults related to these skills. Ths four-week program is
given part-time, an hour and a half each moraLng for shorthand and an
hour each morning for typing. Preliminary te;ts are required for both
subjects. The results are used to determine :he level of training
each individual should have.
Two levels of shorthand instruction are rvailable: intermediate
and advanced. The goals at both levels are t.) build and stabilize
shorthand skill, to enhance ability to take 'Agency-type" dictation,
and to review procedures applicable to variou;; types of Agency
correspondence. To be accepted at the interm,diate level, the indi-
vidual must perform at the rate of at least sLxty words a minute, the
transcription showing no more than twelve err)rs; at the advanced
level, the test rating must be at least severLy words a minute, trans-
cribed with not more than eight errors. It should be noted that the
test an individual takes to meet the Agency's: standards in shorthand
is given to individuals at the advanced class, not the intermediate,
level. To qualify requires the ability to taLe three minutes of
dictation at eighty words a minute and to traziscribe the material in
twenty minutes with no more than five errors.
Typewriting review is designed to help prsons who already know
the touch system but whose speed is law, or t) help those with a
better-than-average speed but with an error cJrunt too high for an
acceptable product. In this course, too, the employee can take the
Agency's qualifying test in typewriting.

OTHER TRAINING
The Clerical Training Faculty instructs clerical employees who
need short periods of specific job-related training after assignment
to offices.
It also offers a typewriting course at the basic level for
professional employees of the Agency. This is given before or after
working hours, an hour each day for six weeks. The faculty has
determined that for some students programmed instruction in type-
writing is feasible. For example, Career Trainees who do not have
the level of the skill required for their basic training are utilizing
a modified form of this approach.
TESTING
As noted previously, the Clerical Training Faculty administers
the Agency's qualifications tests for specific skills. In addition
to tests given at the time a person applies for employment at the
Agency, or in conjunction with training programs, tests are available
to employees who may wish to record officially further qualifications.
Local persons applying for clerical employment with the Agency
are given the Short Employment Test (which measures verbal, numerical,
and clerical aptitude); tests to measure card-punch operator aptitude
or ability as an IBM programmer; and typewriting and shorthand tests.
Clerical employees starting their Agency employment are tested
the second day after they enter on duty. They are given typewriting
or shorthand tests, or both, depending on their position classifica-
tion. Results of these tests are sent to the Office of Personnel;
anyone who fails to attain Agency standards must attend Induction
classes in the deficient subjects.
Tests in typewriting and shorthand are also available to
employees already on duty. Arrangements for these tests, which are
given on two Mondays in every five-week period, are made by Personnel
or Training Officers, to whom the results are forwarded.

INSTRUCTOR TRAINING
The Instructor Training Branch keeps abreast of new developments
in instructional technology and makes recommendations on the extent
to which such technology should be applied to the training require-
ments of the Agency. The Chief, Instructional Support Staff is
responsible for managing the Agency's Program Assisted Instruction
(PAI) and Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) effort, and this Branch
serves as the focal point in the Agency for the development of educa-
tional and instructional technology. From 1966 to 1968 a study by an
outside contractor was made of new developments in educational tech-
nology which stressed the need for the development of behavioral
objectives for all OTR courses, as well as courses taught by other
components of the Agency. In addition, the need for the development
and application of educational systems or a systems approach in the
development of courses of instruction was emphasized. Presently the
military, other Government agencies, and industry are employing a
systems approach to their training.
Training which is job-oriented can be analyzed and developed
through the use of an orderly process (systems approach) which in-
volves the following steps:
1. Develop job standards
2. Make a task analysis (tasks performed on the job)
3. Determine measurable objectives
4. Develop curriculum
5. Select teaching methods and instructional materials
6. Present subject matter
7. Evaluate and get feedback
8. Revise instruction where necessary.
These are not discrete steps and cannot be followed in rigid
order, but require a great degree of interaction. The process is
not to be used as a check list or to depict an uninterrupted flow.
Rather, it shows the usual steps one must take in building a
training program.
Since September 1969 the Instructor Training Branch has been
applying the above systems approach to training in the following
manner:
1. Providing an Instructor Training Workshop for
instructors, both new and experienced. This course
includes instruction on how to develop a systems
approach to training.

2. Visiting those instructors who have taken the
Instructor Training Workshop on the job for the
purpose of assisting them in; preparing objectives
and tasks, lesson plans, methods of instruction,
instructional media, and evat'uations.
3. Observing instructor perform:pi-Ice in the classroom
to determine whether the lest.on objectives have
been achieved, and if not, ti suggest how they
can be.
The Instructor Training Branch has also kept abreast of
developments in programmed instruction and tomputer assisted
instruction. OTR considers that programmed:instruction, rather
than being an independent instructional system, is a practical aid
to instructors. Incorporated in the broader concept of program as-
sisted instruction, it is an effective traiiing technique which can
be applied in selected areas of Agency training. Some Agency in-
structors have been trained to write PAI units which are being used
in Agency courses and, as the need arises, additional instructors
will be trained.
Several OTR persons have met with outside users of Computer
Assisted Instruction in order to increase our knowledge of how it is
used. It has not been determined yet that de time and money required
to develop CAI would be cost-effective for Agency courses in view of
the number of students to be trained in a particular subject. However,
the consensus of the users of CAI is that tti2 Agency should undertake
a pilot project in order to:
1. Give our instructors a CAI pr)ficiency, which will
enable them to examine course; of instruction and
determine where CAI can be em)loyed effectively.
2. Determine whether CAI is appLcable to Agency training.
3. Enable OTR to evaluate softwa7-e and hardware.
The Branch also advises and assists insructors in the use of
other media such as closed-circuit television (CCTV), motion pictures,
student response devices, and other audio anti visual aids.
Instructor Training Workshops are schedilled upon request.
Additional information may be obtained by calling the Chief of the
Instructor Training Branch. Anyone who desires assistance on cur-
riculum development and other instructional liatters is also welcome
to call.

INTERAGENCY TRAINING
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
Interagency training has proved to be one of the most effective
means of improving program operations by providing developmental op-
portunities for employees. Following the recommendation of The
Presidential Task Force on Career Advancement and the issuing of
Executive Order 11348, the Civil Service Commission expanded the
capabilities of its Training Center. CSC established five types
of programs:
Personnel Management
General Management
ADP Management
Communications and Office Skills
Financial Management and Planning Programming and
Budgeting Systems
The annual Interagency Training Programs Bulletin contains
information on these training courses available during any one fis-
cal year and is divided in three sections. The first section pro-
vides descriptions and dates (if known) of open interagency training
programs. These are courses designed for use by all agencies with
no restriction on attendance other than qualification prerequisites.
The second section contains lists of limited interagency training
courses and a contact point (used by OTR) for further information
about each program. Limited interagency courses are Chose which are
designed primarily for the employees of the sponsoring agency but
available to others on a space-available basis. The third section
lists general subject areas in which agencies plan to develop inter-
agency training. Through these lists, it is hoped that agencies
planning courses in similar areas will share their resources to
develop the desired training. This sharing of resources may elimi-
nate duplication of effort and result in savings for cooperating
agencies.
In addition, Monthly Calendars, which list courses to be offered
during a two-month period, are issued. For example, the calendar
issued in June will list courses to be offered during July and August.
The following calendar will list courses for August and September,
and so on. Within the calendars, course information is divided into
two parts. The first lists course dates, nomination deadlines,
course titles, and page numbers of the Interagency Training Program

cating the facilities of the Institute and the training
provided by the Secretary of the Institute or elsewhere."
On 13 August 1946, the Foreign Service Act was signed into law.
Shortly after, on 13 March 1947, Secretary of State Marshall signed
a Departmental regulation which formally established the Foreign
Service Institute.
In 1960 the following were set forth as the training goals of
the FSI:
1. General introduction to the Service and its operations
for all new officers;
2. preparation, where necessary, in the language and culture
of the country of next assignment for all officers;
3. preparation, where necessary, in the function to be
performed in the next assignment for all officers;
4. broadened awareness of the world situation for
mid-career officers; and
5. deepened understanding of national security affairs
and of policy formation for selected officers at the
senior level.

To implement the achievement of these goals, the FSI maintains
a School of Professional Studies, a Center for Area and Country
Studies, a School of Language Studies, and a Vietnam Training Center.
The courses offered by these Schools and Centers are listed in an
annual Schedule of Courses.
In the School of Professional Studies, administrative, consular,
economic and commercial, political, and clerical training are given.
Of these, the 22-week Foreign Service Econdmic Studies is one of the
most popular with CIA personnel.
The Center for Area and Country Studie3 covers seven world areas
and gives a special two-week Communist China Country Study twice a
year.
In addition to the courses offered at the above schools, FSI
conducts a ten-month Senior Seminar in Foreign Policy. The selection
of candidates for this course is made throd;11 the Training Selection
Board and is explained in the TSB section. (See page 127.)

HIGHER EDUCATION
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
Because of the need for specialized education, the Agency
frequently utilizes programs at colleges and.iniversities through-
out the United States. From research in catalogs maintained in
the OTR Library and other sources, the location of appropriate
courses can be ascertained and recommendations made to interested
components. The Agency has sent students to such places as Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard UniJersity, University
of Southern California, University of Rochestr, University of
Virginia, Columbia University, and Carnegie-M211on University.
The courses taken were in such disciplines as economics, political
science, physics, mathematics, area studies,-,21ectrical engineering,
and photogrammetry.
This type of education usually is full-time for a year in resi-
dence at the institution. The request for this training is ordi-
narily initiated by management and is part of a career-development
plan for the employee. The Agency's goals determine the need for
the particular skill/knowledge to be acquired and are of prime
consideration in approving or denying the pro2osed training.
In the Washington area, in addition to some full-time students
at local colleges, the Agency sponsors many employees for part-time
study. Because of the proximity of many institutions of higher
education, the choice of courses is very broal and scheduling is
quite flexible.
Five major universities in the District of Columbia participate
in a consortium, with courses from each acceptable for credit by the
others. These five are the: American University, Catholic Univer-
sity, Georgetown University, George Washington University, and Howard
University. Transfer of credits within the consortium is relatively
routine for those taking courses on-campus, but the privilege does
not include the transfer of credits for courses taken in off-campus
programs. Prior permission must be obtained from the degree-granting
university before taking an off-campus course with another institution.
In addition to these five universities, many other institutions
of higher learning are located in the District of Columbia and nearby

Maryland and Northern Virginia. Some of these have received either
regional or professional accreditation while others have no accredi-
tation. The objective of the training must be clearly defined before
choosing a facility because credits from a non-accredited institution
are, in many cases, not acceptable. The status of a college, univer-
sity, or institute can be obtained from the Office of Training.

may not be accredited, in many instances some of their courses fill a
particular requirement where accreditation is not a prime considera-

Junior Colleges and Community Colleges are supplying a much-
needed segment of post-High School educatioa--either in terminal
training or in preparation for transfer to a four-year college.
Because this type of institution is local, snall, usually non-resi-
dential, and inexpensive, it has grown in pq)ularity during the last
few years. These colleges have mushroomed aid new ones continue to
be established at a rapid rate. A two-year terminal program prepares
the student in a variety of careers for entrance into the work force,
usually with an "Associate" degree. The curriculums encompass such
disciplines as Accounting, Automotive Technology, Electronics Tech-
nology, Food Service Management, Mechanical Fechnology, Merchandising
and Distribution, Police Science, Secretarial Science, Health Facil-
ities Management, Computer Programming, and ledical Technology. The
two-year "college parallel" course covers essentially the same sub-
jects required during the first and second Y2ars in a liberal arts
college. In this program the student should have some knowledge of
the institution to which he expects to transfer and its policy
regarding acceptance of credits.
Taking a glance at technical schools we find that in the local
area Columbia Technical Institute and Lincoli Technical Institute
offer such courses as Automotive Technology, Auto Mechanics, Auto-
motive Air Conditioning, Electronic Technology, Air Conditioning
Technology, and Architectural Technology.
Agency personnel frequently attend selected courses at these
institutions in order to develop knowledge or skills needed in their
jobs. Locating a facility which offers a desired course can be a
time-consuming project. The Office of Training is equipped to assist
in this search.
GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING SERVICE
In April 1963 a counseling service was established in OTR. In
addition to providing informational assistance to employees and
supervisors in planning and arranging for external training under
Agency sponsorship, OTR is also prepared to assist Agency employees
interested in scholarships, fellowships, grants, and loans at col-
leges and universities throughout the United States and abroad. This
service also provides Agency employees with information about edu-
cational opportunities and financial aid for their children.
The counselor is limited to providing only informational and
advisory service concerning the availability of various types of
financial aid. At no time will she act in a brokerage capacity for

employees and their children. Scholarship information is maintained
in OTR/ISS/AIR. This office assists employees in examining the
material to locate scholarship opportunities and advises on procedures
to follow in obtaining financial aid. Academic counseling may be ar-
ranged through OTR/ISS/AIR on an appointment basis.
College catalogs of institutions in which employees might be
interested are maintained in the OTR Library. Under special circum-
stances, overnight loans of informational material can be arranged.
OFF-CAMPUS PROGRAMS
The University of Maryland, The American University and The
George Washington University sponsor extensive evening programs held
in various locations away from the campus. These programs, known as
Off-Campus Programs, are given in schools, office buildings, and
government buildings.
For the convenience of their employees, many government agencies
in their own buildings hold after-hours academic courses for college
credit. The sponsoring agency staffs these "off-campus" courses with
its own employees. The instructors are accredited by the appropriate
university and must follow its course outline. These courses may be
taken either individually or as part of a degree program. The tuition
is usually somewhat lower than for the same course given at the col-
lege (on campus). Most agencies will permit students not employed by
them to enroll on a space available basis, but the Department of
Defense limits participation in some cases to military employees of
the Services.
In the past, CIA conducted an Off-Campus Program in cooperation
with A.U. and G.W. The classes were held in the Headquarters Building
and in other restricted areas in buildings convenient to the majority
of students. The program was known to be CIA and staffed by Agency
employees. As such, the program was closed to personnel under cover.
In the fall of 1969, the universities imposed certain restric-
tions which made it impossible to continue holding an Off-Campus
Program for CIA employees only. In order to accommodate Agency needs,
both universities are establishing Off-Campus Centers in McLean and
the Rosslyn area, where they will service not only CIA needs but will
offer courses designed to meet the requirements of other organizations
in those areas. As a result, the identity of a CIA program will no
longer exist, the classes will be as convenient as formerly, and
personnel under cover will be able to attend if the usual cover con-
siderations permit. All training requests for off-campus courses are
forwarded to the Central Cover Staff. Refer to page 2.

There are many excellent opportunities for after-hours, Off-
Campus Academic Programs at other installations in the area. The
programs cover a wide range of subjects with a number of universities
represented. For example, A.U. conducts classes at the Pentagon,
Andrews Air Force Base, Arlington Hall, Departmental Auditorium,
Fairfax County Education Center, Montgomery County Education Center,
etc. G.W. lists about 70 installations where the College of General
Studies holds Off-Campus Classes. The University of Maryland offers
many courses at military installations as well as convenient loca-
tions in various counties in the State.
The University of Virginia, Northern Virginia Center, presents
classes in approximately 35 locations (high schools, elementary
schools, churches, etc.) throughout Northern Virginia. These are
treated as if taken on-campus at Charlottesville. Therefore, a
student must meet university entrance requir2ments before being
allowed to register at the Center. Also, on year of residence is
required to qualify for a degree. This requirement is not imposed
by other local universities which have Off-Campus Programs.
The courses conducted in certain military installations where
registration is limited to military personnel (both military and
civilian employees) can be used by those und2r military cover.
Courses are held in the Pentagon, Navy Annex, Main Navy, Nassif
Building, Building T-7, Fort Belvoir, Fort Made, and Fort Myer.
A building pass for these places, if necessary, may be obtained
from the Central Cover Staff. Except for th2se restricted places,
any qualified student may enroll in the American University, George
Washington University, or University of Maryland Off-Campus Programs.
Courses may be taken with or without official sponsorship.
Questions in regard to courses and schedules as well as requests
concerning possible sponsorship should be directed to the Component
Training Officer. Current catalogs for all Local academic institu-
tions sponsoring Off-Campus Programs are available in the OTR
Library and ISS/AIR.
ADULT EDUCATION
The terms, Adult Education and Continuing Education, usually
refer to non-credit "enrichment" courses. Tnese are offered by
various groups and facilities in the Washinon area. For example,
the University of Maryland and Catholic Univ2rsity have extensive
programs designed to offer an opportunity to develop a cultured
mind, to supplement lost or unused learning, and to keep the indi-
vidual mentally alert. Arlington County and Fairfax County in
Virginia have comprehensive programs administered through the Board

of Education and the Recreation Departments. Both the college and
the county programs are offered in the evenings (Only a few, held
in the mornings, are usually geared to the needs and interests of
housewives) at convenient locations in schools, churches, and rec-
reation buildings. Subjects cover hobby arts and crafts, physical
activities, photography, investments, real estate, insurance, foreign
languages, typing, shorthand, and automatic data processing. At-
tempts are made to obtain current literature and schedules of these
courses, but if a brochure is not available in OTR, the requester
can usually be directed to the appropriate source.
SCIENTIFIC/TECHNOLOGICAL COURSES (SUMMER)
Short intensive courses given by universities during the summer
months present opportunities for enhancing knowledge with a minimum
amount of time away from the student's office. Most of the offerings
are in the scientific fields, last from one to two weeks, are rela-
tively expensive, and usually require extensive academic backgrounds
for admittance. Application for admittance must be made well in ad-
vance of the starting date because registrations usually exceed class
limits, and acceptances are on a first-come basis.
Listed below are some of the universities and courses in which
Agency personnel have expressed interest.

CORRESPONDENCE/HOME STUDY COURSES
Correspondence courses are only one of A number of techniques
for education, no one of which is ideal in a: 1 situations. For cer-
tain subjects, for certain people, under cer am n conditions, corre-
spondence courses are the ideal solution and can be highly effective.
A well-constructed correspondence course has a variety of virtues;
it: is an effective teacher, permits the use to proceed at his own
pace, is customarily taken during non-duty hours, is often less ex-
pensive than a course taught in a classroom, and is available, in
some instances, when a classroom is not.

A poorly-designed course, on the other hand, can be a waste of
time and money. The over-optimistic student can become frustrated
easily and drop the course or spread it out over such a long period
that its impact is virtually lost. Some of the programs can be quite
expensive for the results obtained. For example, the expectation of
substantial professional advancement based on a degree awarded by a
correspondence school is specious. Granted, correspondence courses
do serve a real purpose in filling a gap, however, the prospective
student must be aware of the limitations imposed by the lack of
"regional accreditation" for the schools. (See page 149.)
For those who are interested in further exploration of the
availability of correspondence, or home study, courses, OTR maintains
a collection of basic source books and catalogs. Some of these are
listed for your information.

courses extensively to complement the training effort in formalized
classroom courses. Since the latter are frequently not available to
personnel in these and other offices, correspondence courses are
utilized to keep informed of developments in their fields. The
Office of Communications has recently published a Communications

MANAGEMENT
Commercial firms offer a large selectian of courses in this
field. Although the content is often business-oriented, Government
personnel frequently attend because much of!the material is pertinent.
One of the organizations conducting extensiNie training courses is the
American Management Association (AMA), with headquarters and a large
training center in New York City. AMA also has centers in Chicago,
Atlanta, San Francisco, Dallas, and Mexico City. The programs are
either workshop seminars, orientation seminars or one-week courses,
with such subject headings as:
Administrative Services (includes ADP-related subjects)
Finance
General Management
International Management
Personnel
Research & Development
AMA catalogs and brochures are availab1 in OTR for reference or
short-term loan.
Examples of American Management Association courses attended by
Agency personnel are:
Management Reporting Systems & Tenlniques
Microfilm Information Retrieval Stem
Protection of Property Against Industrial Espionage
Recruiting (Scientist/college & Pt)f.)
Managing Major Processing Facility, or Systems
Fngineering Projects

There are many other fiLms giving short courses which occasionally
are of interest to the Agency. Copies of course announcements are sent
to Training Officers who have expressed an interest in this type of
training.
AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING
In the field of Automatic Data Processing, the list of firms and
schools offering courses is extensive. Some very good ones operate
in the Washington, D. C. area, while others are located throughout the
United States. The selection of the facility is determined by course
content, an evaluation of previous experience with the course or the
facility, cost, and various other factors. Because the field of ADP
is expanding so rapidly and many new training centers are opening, it
is sometimes difficult to analyze the worth of a particular course.
It is particularly important, therefore, that an end-of-course report
be submitted. OTR maintains a file of these reports to assist in
making evaluations to send with course announcements to Training
Officers.
Some of the more widely used facilities with a short description
of each follows.
International Business Machines (IBM) - Management, Programming,
Operation, and Systems Analysis functions. IBM also offers a course
in Data Processing for Intelligence Community Executives at its
Poughkeepsie, New York facility.
Control Data Corporation (CDC) - Control Data Institute, an
educational division of Control Data Corporation, offers evening and
daytime courses in Computer Technology and in Programming Technology.
The Institute for Advanced Technology, also an arm of CDC, concen-
tretes on three-day seminars in such subjects as Computer Operations
Management, Data Communications Systems, Documentation and Debugging,
Time Sharing Systems, The Mini-Computer Impact on the 70's, Multi-
Media Information Systems, and Optical Character Recognition.

Business Systems Analysis. The latter course, tailored to the Agency's
needs, has been given in-house by under contract. Information
about future plans for the Systems Analysis Ciurse can be obtained
From the Office of Computer Services.
RCA Institutes - Although most of the RCA courses can be
classified under engineering and will be more fully explained in
that section, some, like Management Information Systems and Reli-
ability of Integrated Systems, do meet some of the ADP requirements.
There are many small firms which present courses to satisfy
particular needs, but they are too numerous 0 list here. OTR has
published a comprehensive list of automatic data processing training
programs. Such a compilation becomes out-of-late even before publi-
cation, but serves as an effective departure point for research.
Most Training Officers have copies of this publication.
After distribution to interested offices, copies of all announce-
ments are kept in OTR and Agency employees are welcome to research
the file for suitable courses.
CONTRACTING
Federal Publications regularly presents one-week courses on
Government Procurement in cooperation with distinguished universities
throughout the United States. Agency employees have attended sessions
at the College of William and Mary for such topics as Skills of Con-
tract Administration, Subcontracting, Concentrated Course in Govern-
ment Contracts, and Government Construction Contracting. Recently,
Federal Publications initiated a series of Lo-day saturation semi-
nars. They have covered Cost Principles and Formally Advertised
Procurement and plan to cover other topics it future seminars.
Harbridge House, Inc. is an internation.4l management consulting
Firm and offers courses in Procurement and Ss tens Management. This
organization has the capability of presenting specially tailored in-
house courses, and CIA has utilized these frm time to time.

COMPONENT TRAINING
Components other than the Office of Training conduct on-the-job
programs and formal courses to meet specialized requirements. The
on-the-job training can be described as an informal apprenticeship
with instruction and close supervision provided by senior employees
to new or junior employees actually engaged in desk work.
OTR's identification with component formal training is in the
assigned responsibility of the Director of Training for the "coordi-
nation, technical supervision, review, and support of all Agency
Training Activities." This responsibility is fulfilled in many ways;
for example,
1. Contributing elements to specific component training
programs and courses;
2. Correlating OTR courses to provide an integrated
program with component efforts;
3. Giving advice and assistance to components in
initiating and conducting courses.
The following pages contain examples of component training as
conducted in each of the Directorates. These were prepared by Train-
ing Officers in the Offices providing training, and are presented as
a sampling of general interest programs but are not intended to be an
all-inclusive list. Course descriptions will be found beginning on
page 174.
OFFICE OF THE DCI
BUDGET PROCESS COURSE
A need for a budget course was mutually articulated by 0/DCl/OPPB
and Office of Finance officers early in 1968. The intent was to pro-
vide training in the purposes and processes of Federal budgeting;
emphasize detailed techniques of budget formulation and execution
with particular attention to Agency forms and procedures and clarify
the interrelationships of programming, budgeting and accounting activ-
ities. Students would be from the Office of Finance and OPPB. See
page 180 for course description.

It is not a course in programming; it is not a course
for professional data processing peisonnel, nor is it a
course for the senior manager. It is intended to provide
a basic understanding of the use of computers. As an
orientation, it is intended: to arcuse people's curiosity
about computers and to stimulate their thinking about what
ADP might do for them; to provide tte concepts and vocabu-
lary needed in exchanges on or commtnications about the
use of computers; to provide a basi( understanding of what
a computer system is, how it works, and what it can and
cannot do; to give an understanding of the needs, problems,
and procedures of ADP personnel; to clarify the roles of
the user, the ADP specialist, and tle manager in computer
applications; to acquaint employees with the uses of com-
puters in CIA and the outside world and to give a glimpse
at future probabilities; to offer at opportunity for
"hands-on" experience with remote urminals at a Computer
Center. Attendance at each orientation is limited to
fifty. There are approximately six runnings each year.
3. A two to three-week course in Systers Analysis is offered,
as needed, for individuals who are (oncerned with the
techniques for problem definition, imalysis and design of
ADP applications. This course is bload enough in nature
to provide a substantial framework or a wide variety of
data processing applications.
4. Special seminars or tutorials are hcld from time to time
to acquaint computer operators, prolrammers, and analysts
with new computer hardware or softwre.
The content of all UCS training courses is under constant
revision to reflect advancements in the stat( of the art or new
requirements from the ADP managers.
The Chief of the OCS Training Staff and the members of the
Training Staff can be reached on extensions :331, 7332, or 6382.
