I. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS
Nothing to report.
II. OTHER ACTIVITIES
25X1A9A
1. Two JOTS,
asked whether it would be possible for them
to spend some time improving their writing during this
week's break in their training. Despite the fact that
the Writing Workshops program is now operating at full
capacity, we felt that such initiative and willingness
to work deserved recognition, so the two JOTs are now
receiving special tutoring in writing.
25X1A9A
2. The 16 students in the Basic Writing Workshop
are working hard. Many of them have done substantial
amounts of the optional homework suggested by the in-
structor. Two of the students in the Workshop are at-
tending extra tutoring sessions, in order to finish the
course this week. The students are of the 25X1A9A
Comptroller's Office, who is to start the 10 Course next
25X1 A9A week; and of the DD/P, who is going on
maternity leave next week.

3. Mr. - has edited 8 summaries of lectures
which will be used by the Intelligence Orientation Faculty
in a course they are planning.
4. In the present running of Intelligence Research
(Techniques) the penalty for lack of necessary knowledge
about the DD/P and its operations has been made quite
clear. In the past OSI and ORR analysts have generally
cooperated whenever the DD/P sent out a Notice of Intel-
ligence Potential by responding with collection require-
ments. This response has been based not only on the

desire of the analyst to cooperate with DD/P, but also,
in many cases, on the feeling that, although the NIP
might not deal with priority areas or subjects, it would
help DD/P maintain and increase its skills until it could
collect on priority areas or subjects. Now, however, OSI
has developed a firm policy of not submitting any require-
ments to DD/P except on Priority One intelligence objec-
tives., and only if they deal with the USSR. It feels that
the past policy resulted in DD/P concentrating on things
it could collect, rather than concentrating on those it
should collect. On its side, DD/P apparently felt it was
doing well because it was receiving requirements from
analysts (in response to the NIPs, and analyst-initiated)
on nonpriority areas and subjects and was responding
satisfactorily to them.
III. PERSONNEL
