the situation of 3 FE Chinese language students 25X1A
25X1A urged Eto reconsider the policy of placing FE Chinese
25X1A students at for their basic training. agreed to 25X1A
look into the situation and contact us during the week of 26 April.
25X1A 2. , DTR at
25X1A NSA concerning our possible use of one of their training sites.
promises an early decision on our request, but so
far no decision has been communicated to us.
3. What should be a significant step forward in building
maintenance, the Office of Security has agreed to a change in
clearance procedures for char force personnel employed by Arlington
Towers. They have agreed to give 24-hour service on new char fcree
employees and to permit the char force supervisor to act as an
escort while the men are working in the building. This should
greatly increase the capability of the char force to keep the
building reasonably clean.
4. Parking permits for Arlington Towers are being issued
this week to staff and students. The police are leaving the
issuance of the permits to LTS with the understanding that we
will issue only to staff and students. We have had several
inquiries from Key Building personnel asking about the possibility
of their getting permits. All have been refused since it would
violate our agreement with the police and may jeopardize our own
parking privileges.

25X1A 6. is on sick leave as the result of an accident at hoarse
last week. He is recuperating satisfactorily from deep cuts on a leg
and hand and will probably return to work next week.
7. One of the two Portuguese instructors is on sick leave for
the entire week. The remaining instructor is therefore coping with
the one PT and two FT classes.
5. has acquired a 5000 gallon
water tank which he proposes to install to provide an 25X1A
emergency water supply for firefighting purposes. The fire hazards
have been and continue to be of concern due to the lack of adequate
water for such emergencies. 5000 gallons certainly wouldn't last
long but it should be better than none.
8. With the preparation and recording of materials for the last
10 chapters (16-25) of the Basic French course in the final stages,
we will be using these chapters in the classroom today for the first
25X1A time. - is assembling the material at home as he recuperates.'

11. During the past few weeks LTS has started classes and
received requests for instruction in three of the Scandinavian
languages. Beginners classes have been started for 5 students in
Swedish and 2 students in Norwegian and a request has also been
received for instruction in Icelandic. This is a considerable
upsurge of activity in languages where we have had a dearth of
requirements during the past 5 years.
12. We have just recruited another Greek tutor, 25X1A
, who will help with their heavy load 25X1A
in Greek classes and tutorials. This will also permit - to 25X1A
devote most of his time to teaching Turkish where we have had
another increase in requirements.
13. under supervision, has
complete editing the Swedish Basic Spoken course. 50 copies of
this course have just been reproduced.
