some informal classes which they are considering holding in

25X1A pro3ect for teaching an aural comprehension course in several
languages for monitors. suggested NSA as a possible
source of suitable train will look into this further
even though the Divisions interest has waned somewhat in view
of the length of time involved.

lating and transcription of Russian, He informed us that this

that existing examinations for their personnel need to be greatly
improved and new training programs possibly set up. It was 25X1A

the DC will request of LTS whatever assistance mey be required.
