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-13 and GS-14 level are titled "Supervision for Intelligence Officers" and are specifi- cally geared to those individuals whose main responsibility is substan- tive research but who also have some management responsibility as project leaders or who otherwise direct other analysts or technical personnel. The course assumes that most students are carrying their own pro- duction workload, and that supervisory responsibilities are in addition to, and not in place of, their substantive, technical or production assignments. Particular emphasis is given problems of person-to-person relationships 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 exam- ple, GS-9 - GS-12, so that supervisors of a given general level of responsibility 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. The course content includes: reading, lectures, and group dis- cussions of problem cases. Through these means students are guided in applying basic principles of sound management to the situations in which they are working.

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.

In lecture-discussion periods students are instructed in methods of proc- essing information for a variety of intelligence purposes. The'techniques are then applied in a series of exercises, such as preparation of 25X1 report; abstracting or extracting information pertinent to a particu ar 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 sub- jects and problems of current strategic intelligence. In order to obtain experience in intelligence research methodology, each student selects an intelligence problem and reports the results of his research.

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.

Ability to use the languages of foreign peoples is essential to individuals in the business of foreign intelligence. Agency-sponsored training in language exists because the effectiveness of every intelligence officer depends as much on his possessing appropriate knowledge in this field as on his professional or technical knowledge. 2. The quantity and types of desirable knowledge vary considerably for different individuals and depend on the assignments and functions with which they are charged. Language courses and programs are designed to meet all types and degrees of need. These range from orientation or indoctrina- tion to solid academic programs designed to provide advanced fluency in a foreign language. 3. Internal language courses listed in this section are either regu- larly offered or are available when four or more students are available. It is sometimes possible to offer courses on a one-time basis in a variety of other languages by utilizing qualified Agency personnel loaned to OTR for this purpose, or by employing consultants for intensive short courses. Courses are intensive (full-time), semi-intensive (half-time), and part- time. 4. Intensive, full-time courses are available at three levels: basic (including summer workshop for some languages), intermediate and advanced. A special course in Applied Language for Intelligence Officers, DD/P, is available. The basic course varies in duration from 20 to 48 weeks (plus 7 weeks for summer workshop); the intermediate and advanced courses, 13 weeks; the Applied Language;, 6 weeks. Each intensive course is conducted by a lin- guist and one or more native speakers. Use of the Language Laboratory is pre- scribed. Available relevant area training is prescribed for all students, in- cluding area training in the language for intermediate and advanced students. The total program in each language should give the student useable fluency in speaking, reading, comprehending and writing, and a basis for development of advanced fluency when in an environment permitting continuous use of the language. 5. Semi-intensive (half-time) courses meet for two hours a day for two ten-week phases. Both phases are necessary to acquire limited useability. They are conducted by a linguist and one or more native speakers. An addi- tional three hours of supervised study and drill and one hour of outside study are expected of each student. Satisfactory completion of the two phases should permit the student to meet ordinary social-travel situations, and provide him with a basis for developing fluency through further systematic study and exten- sive use in a foreign environment. 6. Part-time courses (as distinct from semi-intensive) are designed to meet limited, specific needs created by specialized functions within the Agency. These courses do not aim to provide comprehensive competence in all aspects of language use. Most of these courses aim to develop only a reading ability for use as a reference and research tool.

The Office of Training has developed a program of internal courses on all foreign areas with intelligence significance for the U. S. Those courses which are available are listed at the end of this introduc- tion. Additional courses will be announced as they are established. The courses are arranged within these categories. 2. Basic Country Survey: An introduction to the study of the sociological, political and economic factors, which historically and currently influence the culture, attitudes, development and foreign relations of each country with which the United States is concerned. Each survey course deals with either a country of major interest, or a group of coon- 25x1 tries, such as Indo.-China. Each course consists of sixty (60) hours of classroom instruction, supplemented by directed outside reading, and is open to personnel engaged in intelligence collection, operations, evalu- ation, or support in connection with the country or countries covered. 3. Regional Survey: An introduction to the various regional aspects and developments of significant groupings of foreign countries, such as Arab States or Southeast Asia, the emphasis being directed toward the regional integrity or interrelationship rather than the component parts. Each course focuses on a grouping based upon political, economic, cultural or strategic fac- tors and is designed to meet the requirements of the intelligence commu- nity. Each course consists of sixty (60) hours of classroom instruction, supplemented by directed outside reading, and is open to personnel engaged in intelligence collection, operations, evaluation or support in connection with the region covered. 1-. Americans Abroad: An introduction to social customs, significant cultural and lia- tional attitudes and sensitivities, traditional and current attitudes toward foreigners, and other matters affecting overseas duty in a given country or area. Each course focuses on the peculiar conditions and problems af- fecting personal and professional effectiveness in that country or area. Each course consists of fifteen to eighteen (15 - 18) hours of instruction. These courses are designed for all employees going to a country or area for the first time, and for their dependents, and for personnel who will be working with nationals from those locations.

Current Problems Survey: A seminar program will be designed to develop a sharper appreci- ation of the elements and factors involved in the discharge of intelligence responsibilities, through the study of a specific phase of the political, economic or sociological aspects of a foreign country or area. Each course will consist of from twenty-four to thirty-six (2k-i- - 36) hours of seminar discussion and occasional lectures, with a senior person experienced in the field of intelligence production and evaluation as a moderator. Supplemen- tary reading, group conferences and the preparation of seminar, papers will be required. The courses will be designed for those who have completed an appropriate BCS or RS course or the equivalent thereof, who have had at least two years in the country or area concerned, or equivalent desk duty at Headquarters, and who are judged to have the other necessary qualifica- tions for participation. 6. Omnibus Program: This program consists of the appropriate Basic Country Survey course or Regional Survey course, and the Americans Abroad course, plus language training, constituting full-time training of ten weeks' duration. Supplementary reading, preparation of papers, and laboratory drill are re- quired. 7.

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 identi- cal even though the subject may be the same. Final selection of institu- tions, and dete1?mination of programs, are made by the Office of Training on a basis of the stated objectives for training. It is expected that most needs for external language and area training will be met by courses and programs described in the Catalog, or by other programs 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 prefer- ably three or more months, in advance. A few of these courses are availa- ble 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 developed for persons concerned with almost any area of the world. These programs are intended, however, only for exceptional employees whom it is desired to de- velop as rounded language officers with advanced fluency in all aspects of 25X1 the language or as advanced area specialists. 4. Personnel from the Department of Defense, Departpent of State, and other Government agencies artici ate in these ro rams. 5.

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.

The course subject matter is covered in the first four units, and the fifth unit is a clinic for the study and improvement of on-the-job appli- cations which the course registrants have introduced in their companies.
