Mr. Rodriguez said objective #3 was left out in error. It refers to developing
a program performance evaluation system for on-going programs. The Curriculum
Committee would be the accountable body for carrying out this objective. Objec-
tive #3 will be included in the next status report.
4. Mr. Rodriguez said QTR hasn't done much toward meeting objective #4
(devng a training cost model). He said he has received some help from
the elopifaculty. He further stated, "We don't know how much our OTR courses
cost." This is an important objective. So far no one in OTR has been identi-
fied to tackle this objective. Mr. Brownman asked when someone would be iden-
tified and Mr. Rodriguez answered that he hoped he would have someone identified
soon -- he said he plans to have milestone #2 (test cost model) completed by the
1 November 1973 deadline.
5. Mr. Brownman asked about the missing 5th objective. Mr. Rodriguez,said
this is one of the OTR objectives that he will be monitoring as an internal ob-
jective (i.e., not reporting on to DD/M&S each two months). The objective deals
with the NOC program. It calls for an examination of Agency policies and doc-
trines on NOC while expanding the plans to increase the scope and intensity of
training required to support the Agency's NOC activities expected to be operative
in FY 1975. Mr. Rodriguez says there hasn't been much input from the DDO re
NOCs. Mr. Brownman asked, "Why can't you put pressure on the DDO?" Mr. Rodriguez
answered, "We've been pushing, but I've told my people to quit pressuring the DDO."
Nobody has been coming in for NOC training yet. Mr. Rodriguez said OTR is going
to write a syllabus on NOC.
6. Mr. Rodriguez said OTR is meeting the milestones for the 6th objective.
He said this is not a very challenging objective-to the DD/M&S.
7. Objective #8 deals with developing training profiles and development of
a computer based information system to help OTR plan adjustments to curriculum
and staffing to meet Agency training needs identified through the training pro-
files. Mr. Rodriguez said OTR has to work with the Deputies to get the first
part of this objective on its way. He said the DD/M&S and the DDO have pretty
much defined their training profiles. The DDI and DD/S&T haven't done anything
yet. Mr. Brownman asked, "Is the 31 October 1973 milestone not valid?" Mr.
Rodriguez said, "No, we'll meet the 31 October 1973 milestone." It is the
30 June 1974 milestone that is real trouble. OTR can't find people in the
Directorates who have the expertise needed to identify needs at the individual
employee level.
8. Mr. Rodriguez suggested that objectives 10 and 11 should be treated
as internal OTR objectives to be monitored by DTR on a regular basis and not
reported on to DD/M&S every two months. Mr. Brownman OKed this.
9. The 12th OTR objective deals with determining the impact (i.e.,
effectiveness, quality, efficiency) of OTR courses on the job performance of
employees who have taken various courses. Mr. Brownman asked regarding the
Staff and Agent and Liaison Training portion of the objective, why we didn't

pick up the fact that this milestone-was going to slip at the last meeting on
9 August. The problem analysis notes that both DDO and OTR reorganizations.
have caused the setback. OTR asks that milestone #2 be moved back to 31 Decem-
ber 1973 vice 31 July 1973 and milestone #3 to 1 November from 31 July 1973.
Mr. Brownman approved the new milestone completion dates but cautioned that
problems with milestones need to be surfaced earlier than they were on this
occasion. Mr. Brownman asked about the missed milestone #1 on debriefing
selected SOG (sic SOD) officers returned from the field re their BOC training.
He understands the alternative taken as noted in the problem analysis sheet,
but will the SOG officers be debriefed later? The objective dealing with an
evaluation of the Fundamentals of Supervision and Management impact on job
performance was discussed next. Mr. Brownman asked if the milestone scheduled
for completion on 1 October 1973 had been met (pre-course questionnaires sent
to supervisors of students)? Mr. Rodriguez answered, "I can't say; it probably
has." Mr. Rodriguez expressed his concern about problems that may affect ac-
complishment of this objective for FSM. The objective as it relates to Training
Selection Board sponsored external training courses was discussed. The first
two milestones have been missed. Both were scheduled for completion on 30
September. The problem analysis stated that the problem rests with the Board
of Visitors (BoV). The Chairman, TSB submitted a proposal to the BoV on 30
April 1973 and there has been no reply. Mr. Rodriguez suggested that the BoV
meet more often. If he had a problem, he could ask them to meet. It was sug-
gested that the BoV be contacted about Chairman, TSB's proposal or OTR select
those TSB sponsored courses to be evaluated in FY 1974. asked how 25X1
objective #12 related to objective #3 -- are they the same? 25X1
observed that objective #12 serves as input to objective #3. Objective #12
concerns a certain evaluation technique trying to ascertain the value of
specific courses.
10. OTR's objective #15 is no longer applicable to OTR. The objective
calls for a 20% increase by the end of FY 1975 over the FY 1973 base in the
training of officers, GS-13 and above, in the new techniques of Agency records
management. OTR's problem analysis noted that in August 1973 discussions were
held between OTR and Chief, ISAS, concerning the Records Management training
program. The program has been discontinued because the course instructor
transferred to National Archives in June 1973. It was agreed in August that
ISAS would reinstitute the program in early CY 1974, utilizing ISAS inhouse
instructors with OTR lending administrative support to the program. It has
now been decided that the program would resume during the week of 14 January
1974, with OTR providing space, Bulletin announcements, etc. It will in
effect be a component training activity. Mr. Brownman agreed that the objec-
tive be dropped as an QTR responsibility and transferred to Chief, ISAS. OTR
must furnished Chief, ISAS the FY 1973 base figure for the 20% increase figure
to be meaningful.
11. Mr. Rodriguez felt objective #16 should be internal to OTR and this
was agreed. Mr. Rodriguez said he is getting a new objective from 0 as 25X1
a substitute for objective #16. His plan is to revise all Operations training.
This plan includes: .a new short Ops Fam Course; a BOC of only 8-10 weeks vs.
16 weeks at present; a possible cut Ostaff personnel by one half in three25X1
years; handling larger groups of students per instructor; more use of case
studies; and a new Advanced Ops Course centering on strategic, political and

12. Objective #17 would become an internal objective monitored by DTR.
Mr. Brownman agreed. Objectives #2.0 and #21 seem to be progressing well.
13. Mr. Rodriguez discussed his four proposed new objectives. He said
he would send the four plus the new one from II Ito Mr. Brownman for his
review in two weeks. Mr. Brownman said detailed action plans are to accompany
the objectives.
14. Mr. Rodriguez presented Mr. Brownman a chart showing some statistical
data on the new off-campus program. There are 247 people enrolled in 280
courses. 180 people are under 35. Grade spread is GS-03 to GS-16. 127
females and 120 males are enrolled. Mr. Brownman said the data would be more
25X1
meaningful if the percentages of each grade group enrolled was given in rela-
tion to percentage of that grade group to the total Agency population.
15. The coordination problems re the headquarters notices in
25X1
the correspondence courses are kind of a disgrace said Mr. Rodriguez. Mr.
Brownman asked if the notices were sent out for coordination serially or in
parallel.
said notices of this type are usually sent out in parallel
with a deadline.
Mr. Brownman.asked to set up a tickler file on
25X1
papers like this sent out for coordination to ensure deadlines are met.
16. Mr. Rodriguez said the self-study program equipment began to be
installed in Headquarters on 25 September. About 20 Offices are in line to
receive the John Humble "MBO" film series. Mr. Brownman asked if there is
any way provided now to count the number of cassettes run on the equipment.
Such a counter would be a means to evaluate usage of the equipment. If it's
not being used we can get rid of it. Mr. Rodriguez agreed that a counter
mechanism would not be a bad idea.
17. The subject of training for contract wives was discussed. Mr.
Brownman said he has in mind some refresher clerical/secretarial training
for wives who accompany their husbands overseas. Mr. Rodriguez said OTR
could handle this. He said, "If you would like I can make this known to
the DDO." Mr. Brownman suggested letting Division Chiefs and
know about such a program. suggested M&S officers' wives who
are going overseas with their husbands should be included in the program.
18. Orientation for NOC's. Mr. Rodriguez said he would do it when
DDO is in better shape to bring NOC officers together. Mr. Rodriguez said
he could show films, such as "Risk of Capture", for NOC officers. Mr. Brownman
said what he has in mind is bringing a new NOC in for three to five days to
let him meet and be with other people who have been overseas as NOC officers.
There should be a NOC presentation to officers at the BOC.

into the possibility of the Agency requiring outside students from other
ligence community members to sign a Secrecy Agreement when they attend
20. Mr. Brownman asked Mr. Rodriguez if he had established internal
objectives with his School Chiefs (i.e., other internal objectives). Mr.
Rodriguez said none other than the ones so identified as not worth reporting
to the DD/M&S on a bimonthly basis. He went on to say that he has not been
meeting with his line managers and staff on objectives. He closed by saying
he wants to start meeting with them every two weeks. Mr. Rodriguez suggested
that Mr. Brownman visit such a session soon at OTR.
