PREFACE
1. This catalog sets forth the objectives and content of courses
given by, or arranged through, the Office of Training. In addition, it
provides information on certain Non-OTR training conducted by other Agency
components. It has been prepared to assist all Agency officials in plan-
ning the development of personnel through training. Arrangements for
training should be made through the Training Officer in each case.
2. Available courses of training are grouped within this catalog
according to the following sections: "B" (Basic Training), "I" (Intelli-
gence Training), "L" (Language and External Training), "0" (Operations
Training), "T" (Technical Training), and "N" (Non-OTR Training).
3. Courses grouped under sections "0" and "T" are restricted to
personnel serving with the Clandestine Services. Other courses are open
to personnel from all CIA components. Accordingly, this catalog has been
prepared and distributed throughout Headquarters in two versions. This
permits distribution to each B-level recipient of a catalog appropriate
to-his needs, and assures availability of the complete version to all A-
level recipients for their information.
4. Each course listing provides the following information: course
title, brief statement of course objectives, prerequisites in terms of
security clearance and prior training or equivalent experience, limitations
on enrollment, duration, location and, with the exception of some clerical
courses, a description of the course content and the method of instruction
employed.
5. In addition to those at Agency facilities, courses at Department
of Defense schools and a variety of other professional courses are avail-
able to CIA personnel. These external courses are listed in the "L" sec-
tion of the Catalog, and enrollment is arranged through the Office of
Training. Enrollment in certain senior non-Agency courses is subject to
prior action by Agency selection panels.
6. Under certain circumstances, the Office of Training is prepared
to conduct special courses and training programs for personnel of other
IAC agencies. For some OTR courses, quotas are established for represent-
atives of the intelligence community.
7. For the convenience of the user, this catalog includes an Adminis-
trative Foreword, providing detailed information relative to planning
training programs and initiating requests for training; a Table of Con-
tents; and a set of Long-Term Schel.ules, providing course date and duration
information.

time
LOCATION Headquarters
The course is for persons from all major components at all levels
through GS-14 who are directly responsible for personnel at the first
working level. The objective is to orient the first-line supervisor to
the responsibilities and authority which are characteristic of first-line
supervision throughout the Agency. Presentations at the GS-12 to GS-14
level are titled "Supervision for Intelligence Officers" and are specifi-
cally geared to two types of individuals: (1) those whose main responsi-
bility is substantive research but who also have some management respon-
sibility as project leaders, and (2) those who guide or advise other
Intelligence Officers or technical personnel in a staff or liaison ca-
pacity.
The course assumes that most students are carrying their own produc-
tion workload, and that supervisory responsibilities are in addition to,
and not in place of, their substantive, technical or production assign-
ments. Particular emphasis is given problems of person-to-person rela-
tionships as the supervisor meets them in his responsibilities for training,
communicating, planning and disciplining. Selected aspects of organization,
leadership and control are also dealt with.
Each successive course is offered to a specified group, for example,
GS-9 - GS-11, so that supervisors of a given general level of responsi-
bility work together and so that specific course content can be adjusted
to the needs and capacity of the participants. A limited number of non-
supervisors being prepared for supervisory positions can be, accepted, but
the specific reasons for their attendance at the course should be made
clear to them and to the instructor by the supervisor concerned.
The course content includes: reading, lectures, and group discussions
of problem cases. Through these means students are guided in applying
basic principles of sound management to the situations in which they are
working.

DURATION Two weeks - 4 hours each morning (40 hours), plus 10
to 20 hours of unclassified outside reading
LOCATION Headquarters
The course is aimed primarily at the level of the Branch Chief, but
is open to personnel above and below that level. Each successive course
is offered to a specified group, for example, GS-?12 through GS-14, so
that supervisors of a given general level of responsibility work together.
Students in the course are assumed to have at least one lower echelon of
supervisors under their direction; for example, section heads. It is
presumed that substantially full time on the job is spent in management
activities (planning, directing, coordinating and controlling), rather
than in direct substantive work. The course covers elements of manage-
ment which are common to middle levels in DD/I, DD/S, and DD/P.
The course contains the following major elements: (1). a highly
generalized job analysis of middle management responsibilities in the
Agency; (2) a limited amount of general doctrine current in the field of
management; (3) discussion of specific management techniques in use in
Agency components; and (4) group analysis of problem situations and of
case histories.
At every point the course emphasizes the student's responsibility
for translating his own background of experience and the information
exchanged in the course into the terms and problems of his current job
assignment. He is encouraged to define his problems as specifically as
possible, to select a line of attack, and to undertake his own solutions.
The 40 hours of the course span two weeks in half-day sessions, so that
participants may maintain daily contact with their offices and apply
ideas of the classroom to the job situation.

engaged in the processing and production of intelligence materials. The
course is scheduled to follow immediately after the Basic Orientation course.
In Intelligence Principles and Methods the emphasis is on "learning by
doing." In lecture-discussion periods students are instructed in the methods
and techniques of processing information for a variety of intelligence pur-
poses. The principles are then applied in a series of exercises, such as
preparation of aeport, abstracting information pertinent to a par-
ticular problem from a number of related documents, writing intelligence
briefs, memoranda, and special articles. Practice is also afforded in the
oral presentation of intelligence through a series of briefings on selected
subjects and problems of strategic intelligence.
The course includes a reading analysis program designed to discover
faulty reading habits and to identify persons who would be helped by enroll-
ment in the Reading Improvement courses.

Methods and techniques in developing the speed and level of comprehen-
sion, with emphasis on flexibility and comprehension requirements, are the
focal points of the course.
In developing a wide range of reading techniques and in defining com-
prehension requirements, the student is instructed through lectures and
discussions on the best techniques for scannin extensive (informational),
and intensive (technical) reading. This is followed by student practice,
using diverse techniques in'various reading situations. Practice includes
supervised exercises and reading of individual and group selections of varied
content at controlled rates. Good perceptual habits are developed by in-
creasing the span of recognition, establishing control over regressive eye
movement, and eliminating vocalization.
Approximately thirty percent of the course is devoted to lectures,
instructions, and practice exercises in the three types of reading. Forty
percent of the training provides practice with the Reading Rate Accelerator.
The remaining thirty percent of the course is divided equally between
tachistoscopic training and special films.
A retention program, designed to ascertain long-range benefits, is
conducted eight weeks and twelve months after the course.
Satisfactory completion of this course fulfils the prerequisite for
enrollment in the Advanced Reading Improvement course.

This program serves as a preliminary analysis for the Reading
Improvement course. The analysis of the employee's reading proficiency
in scanning, informational and study reading tasks determines how well
his reading skills are adapted to his job reading requirements, and indi-
cates the areas in which he could improve.
A half-hour conference with each employee informs him of his strengths
and weaknesses in reading, and provides a basis for self-improvement.
Upon request, the program is scheduled and adapted for any Agency
component with specialized job reading requirements. Through consulta-
tion with the office concerned, a program is outlined so that employees'
reading performance can be analyzed on the basis of their job reading
tasks and materials.

LANGUAGE AND AREA (EXTERNAL)*
1. These offerings are not all-inclusive. External language and
area training may be pursued at nearly all universities in the United
States and at many overseas. Virtually no programs or courses are
identical even though the subject may be the same. Final selection of
institutions, and determination of programs, are made by the Office of
Training on a basis of the stated objectives for training. It is ex-
pected that most needs for external language and area training will be
met by courses. and programs described in the Catalog, or by other pro-
grams later announced by the Office of Training. Only when required
training is not obtainable through any of these programs, and is not
available through other scheduled courses in academic institutions,
should special, unscheduled programs be developed.
2. Requests should be submitted not less than one month, and pref-
erably three or more months, in advance. A few of these courses are
available only once a year and others only twice a year. The languages
in greatest demand, however, are available several times a year. To
assure accommodations for Agency employees, therefore, planning in some
cases should be done much in advance, and early consultation with OTR
is advised.
3. On an individual basis, area specialist programs can be devel-
oped for persons concerned with almost any area of the world. These
programs are intended, however, only for exceptional employees whom it
is desired to develop as rounded language officers with advanced fluency
in all aspects of the language or as advanced area specialists.
4. Personnel from the Department of Defense, Department of State,
and other Government agencies participate in these programs.
5. Except for the Area Analysts Program, the Area Specialists
Programs include one to two years of discipline language and area study
overseas. Offices sponsoring individuals for these programs should
plan field duty assignments to follow immediately the training period,
for a period extended to total time for a normal tour of duty in the.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
1. By authority of Public Law 110, 81st Congress, 1951, the Agency
may request any of the components of the Department of Defense to accept
Agency trainees in any of the Department's colleges or specialized
training courses. Accordingly, the Office of Training has obtained
specified quotas from Department of Defense senior colleges.
2. The mission of these schools is to train senior officers of the
Armed Services and certain other government agencies to exercise joint
high-level command and staff functions and perform strategic planning
duties in their respective departments. Consequently, the Agency Career
Service Board selects and recommends to the DCI for nomination to these
courses, career officers of the Agency whose qualifications are parallel
in age, training, and experience to the military officers attending each
course. The Agency representatives are men whose present or prospective
duties require a knowledge of current military doctrine, and who are
likely to be collaborating with the Armed Services within the intelligence
community in future years. At the same time, they must have had suf-
ficient experience within the Agency to be able to contribute a knowledge
of Agency functions and procedures to those phases of the military courses
in which the problems of intelligence are implicit. Current requirements
are included in Office of Training announcements when applications are
requested prior to the dates for selecting candidates.
3. The Agency has had quota allotments at the principal service
training courses in intelligence, including one at the Naval Intelligence
School, and three at the Army's Strategic Intelligence School. Other in-
telligence courses are available in such subjects as prisoner of war in-
terrogation, order of battle, and photo interpretation.
4. In addition to these senior command and intelligence training
courses, individual employees may be sent to, specialized training courses
of all the Armed Services and to other special programs controlled at
Joint Chiefs of Staff or Department of Defense level. In recent years
such training has been obtained at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, at the
Chemical Warfare Center, at the Naval Guided Missiles Course; at the
Special Forces Training Center, Ft. Bragg; at the Infantry School, Ft.
Benning; at the Military Air Transport Service's School, the Army Lan-
guage School at Monterey, the Naval Schools at Anacostia; and at in-
stallations administered by the Quartermaster General, the Chief of Ord-
nance, and others.
5. The Office of Training maintains current catalogs of training
courses and schedules published by the Armed Services. These catalogs
list several hundred training courses from basic training to postgraduate
study in such professional fields as engineering, law, and medicine.

"The major portion of the student's work is devoted to the con-
sideration of significant problems relating to the various subjects of
instruction. As each subject is studied, the student body is formed
into a series of committees, corresponding in number to the major prob-
lems considered in that subject. Subcommittees are created to deal
with special aspects of these problems. Specific subjects are assigned
either to student committees or to individual students for exploration.
Each student committee and subcommittee, guided and assisted by members
of the faculty, develops its assigned phase of the subject. There are
no textbook or "school" answers to the problems. This approach is de-
signed to develop an understanding of economic principles in their ap-
plication to the problems of mobilization for war.
"Each committee and subcommittee is required to prepare a written
report on its assigned problem. The findings, conclusions, and recom-
mendations of the committee are presented orally by the students before
audiences composed of their fellow students, faculty members, and in-
terested personnel of the various Departments of the Federal Government.
"In addition to committee reports, all students are required to
prepare individual reports on selected sub'jects."

MANAGEMENT (EXTERNAL)
1. American businessmen have gone to the universities for help in
studying the problems inherent in the growth of huge corporations. The
responsibilities undertaken by both business and Government executives in
our generation far exceed the expectations of fifty years ago. One re-
sult has been the inauguration of intensive training courses and seminars
for men in senior executive positions, which are now conducted on nearly
a dozen university campuses. The objective of these courses is to make
the corporation executive a better man for his job and to prepare him
for the assumption of still greater responsibility. Courses range in
duration from six to twelve weeks and are held variously from once to
four times a year.
2. Because the management problems of big Government are similar
to those of big business, many officers of the Federal Government have
attended these sessions in recent years, both as students and teachers.
The Office of Training considers some of these courses to be effective
in preparing qualified Agency employees for future advancement. The
oldest, longest, and most intensive of these programs is the one con-
ducted twice yearly at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Adminis-
tration, where one Agency representative has been accepted for each of
the last seven courses. The Agency has also sent men to the similar
program conducted by the American Management Association in New York.
3. A brief description of the announced objectives of the principal
advanced management courses follows, with a statement of the prerequisites
for enrollment. Copies of the announcements of the current sessions of
these courses may be consulted at the Language and External Training
School, as well as others not included here.
