materials in teaching English to Spanish speakers.
The Director is hiring as a maid a Cuban refugee
who speaks little or no English. ~ informed 25X1A
that we had a set of records for self-
study, but that we also have on hand and are using
far superior material, a taped course of 30 lessons.
This course, however, at least in the early stages,
cannot be used without a competent instructor.
- further advised that LTS has 5 instructors
trained and experienced in teaching English to
foreigners.
called the following day to say
that preferred the course with the
instructor and that the instruction could probably
begin the first week in October. - will 25X1A

when Entering on Duty. Apparently only a very few
EOD's are being tested. At the moment the rate of
EOD's is about 40 to 50 a month, of which less than
half are professional personnel. The number of tests
involved will probably not exceed 5 to 6 a week.
~ said he would be delighted if the tests could
be scheduled within a month after EOD. LTS should
be able to handle this load with little or no difficulty,
except in some unusual languages where special outside
testing arrangements may have to be made. ~ 25X1A
will coordinate this matter with
Deputy Chief of Personnel Operations Division,
whose office handles EOD processing.
