MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Training

16 August - 20 August 1965
1. A copy of the training plan approved by Colonel Wallace for the
Advanced Intelligence Course is attached. This particular copy was
obtained for suggested use by the Executive Secretary, TSB and the OTR
Registrar in obtaining and screening CIA candidates for later runnings of
the course.
2. References to Agency speakers which follow pertain to the
Civilian Analyst Course.
3. jointly presented a seminar on
The Analytic Process. One of the faculty monitors observed to me that
more learning appeared to take place in this one-hour session than had
occurred during a three-hour exercise conducted by representatives of
the HRB Singer consultant group. The latter put on an interesting show,
but I agree that the learning outcomes were dubious.
4. The Communications Exercise was successfully run by -
notwithstanding a flash downpour which distracted
from their planned summary. To our surprise, four of the five groups
completed the exercise during the allotted time. Two successful
solutions out of five groups are normally anticipated.
5. Several OTR instructors re-appeared as guest lecturers.
- coverage of Indications Analysis didn't come off as well as he
had hoped it would. It was one of those first-period hours and the
young student body remained uncommitted. In defense, I
attribute much of the difficulty to the physical fact that we lacked
water; and the broken main had affected the working condition of coffee
machines and plumbing as well as the student body.
6. combined his Friday's practical exercise on
Propaganda Analysis with his earlier subject appearance on intelligence
Writing. He agreed to evaluate the student efforts on both the analysis
and written English aspects. I'll get the corrected papers back to the

class tomorrow? For a rough comparison with efforts of our own Career
Trainees, we decided that Dave would score the exercise in terms of the
W-A-P-S-O rating scale.
7. The Ready Review gadget prepared by the Intelligence Orientation
25X1A Faculty seems to be very good. - gave me a complete set, and I
25X1A understand were responsible for putting the questions
together for-the Intelligence Orientation Review. I believe I can use
the set sparingly, but meaningfully, at the DIS. For example, our CIA
.lectures for Attaches occur at the very beginning of the 14-week course
and again at the very end, when the Attache class meets jointly with the
Strategic Intelligence class. Invariably, the late arrivals to, or
early departures from, the full Attache class miss one segment of Agency
presentations. When and as the Attache department deems it appropriate,
I can cover--with aid of the IOF handy review--some of the needed topics
on a tutorial basis.
