some additional guests for the April running. [FBI) has

on Capitol Hill has been approved by DD/S and Legislative Counsel, he
25X1A has contacted and agreed to appear sometime in February.
25X1A has asked if he might accompany him to which he

4. jrSlis Communist Strateey Seminar
The running of FSI's Communist Strategy seminar just completed,
John Keppel, course director, still had a large proportion of CIA partici-
pants all from OTR. Eight presentations were made by SIC staff, and
added another. Keppel, however, is aware of the disproportion
and C SIC is sure will remedy this situation before the next requests
come along. State itself handled only three more presentations than we

This to * more senior group than most, with one-third of the students
in Grade OS-11 or above. We note an u usually large number of senior
scientists from the DDS&T area in the class.
6. JOT O;entation
An analysis of the January JPOT group reveals that they made a
slightly better average rating their first examination than the most
recent comparable group of July 1964. The results ahowed no signifi-
cant difference in scores between the large number of "int* " and
the "eztarnals" (Agency newcomers) in the class. Our staff opinion,
based on only one week's experience with the class, is that titers may
be a good number of potentially outstanding individuals in this group.
Seven received an "Outstanding" rating, and 33 a "Strong" rating on the
test.

otftces at the US Army Armor School at Fort Knox, Kentucky. I aril
usually treated well in all of the military posts which I visit; in this case,
the Army really outdid itself, Last year I had a Captain as an escort
officer; this year I was met by an "honor guard"--a Lt. Colonel, a Major,
and a couple of enlisted men who bowed and scraped their way through my
whole visit, I was mystified but asked no questions and enjoyed. for 24
hours, the luxury of being a VIP. I had lunch -with the Commanding
General of the post and also Major General HurIbit, the 0-4 of the Area
Command under which rt. ICELOX cornets, and Brigadier General Murdoch,
who is in charge of the Armor School, and other assorted Colonels from
Ft. ICncet. We had a very pleasant time. In the afternoon before I left,
my escort officer and I had a little libation shall we say, on company
time in my rather magnificent quarters. The mystery of my treatment
WS eleated up when he asked me, with great deference, how it was that
a MLR as young as could achieve the position of a GS-19, which was,
after all the rank of a Lt. General. I assured him that while I was not
complaining about my salary, I was not a 0549. (To myself I thought
that I had never even heard of such an animal.) And then he made a
remark which I shall cherish for a long time as the nicest compliment

viously announced, is en-

which lies some $11 billion

And so wnen we left our
narrative, portly Auric Gold-
finger had been sucked out
of the bullet-shattered port-
hole of the disabled Jetstar
in which Agent James Bond

lcre were streaking toward
certain death.

Treasury Department re-

Four tractor trailer trucks
rumbled out of the Nation's
gold dcspository on Wednes-

the Associated Press de-
scribed as an "undisclosed

An anonymous police of-
ficial (who may also be the

estimated that the cargo
was worth $132 million.
