1. Registration for the Off-Campus Program w4l1 proceeded
as planned on 16 January. All instructors and those Training
Officers directly concerned with specific courses were contacted
by telephone this week and briefed on the new arrangements, e. g..,
Ames Building instead of Headquarters Building, etc; also, in
some cases, Office Chiefs (Dr. Allen, Director, OER, and
Mr. Lundahl, Director, NPIC). An item explaining American
University's changes in policy and the Agency's actions since
receiving word on 7 January was included in the 15 January
ISS Newsletter. Registration for non-CIA employees will be con-
ducted by AIR personnel, in company with Chris Rogers, our A. U.
contact, the evening of 21 January.

3. One of our students at the Industrial College of the Armed
Forces, OC, informed AIR by phone this week that the
ICAF student body will be taking overseas TDY trips this year. The
National War College does this each year, but ICAF has never, at
least in the past six or seven years, had any overseas travel as
part of its training program. Twelve different area trips are
planned (Panama, Argentina, Chile; Panama, Brazil; Panama,
Columbia, Venezuela; England, France; Germany, Belgium,
Holland; Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia; Portugal, Spain; Italy,
Morocco; Greece, Turkey; Japan; Philippines, Taiwan; and
Iran, India) and 0 has to make his choice before 26 January.
We have referred the matter to OC and will prepare the normal
documentation to the DDP, OMS, and CPB when the final itinerary

is approved. NWC picks up the travel tab for its trips but not
the per diem; we are checking to see what cost will be involved
for the ICAF jaunts. (Our second student at ICAF is
IAS. )
4. Following up on last week's report, our composite tuition
advance was compiled in AIR on 1 January and turned over to
B&F on 13 January. Our final cotit is 185 students, for a total
of $31, 700. In the 1969 Spring Semester advance, we had a total
of 132 students; total advance was $20, 983. Traditionally, the
Spring Semester shows a lighter enrollment than the Fall Semester.
When the remainder of the part-time academic requests for this
semester have been processed (we can expect them to come "dribbling"
in for the next two or three weeks; probably 30 or 40 more;
handled by reimbursement) we will prepare a summary report,
giving numbers of students, components, schools represented,
range of courses, and amount of money involved.

directly related to his career field. He indicated that a request for
second semester sponsorship may be forthcoming from his office.
OC, who is presently being sponsored in
a full-time program of advanced studies in the field of Engineering
Administration at George Washington University, visited OTR this
week during his mid-semester break. voiced some
doubts about his particular program at GWU and will make a
recommendation about future use of this program when he writes
his final report to OTR. He reports that the professors are
inaccessible and difficult to locate, reluctant to keep appointments
with students, and handicapped by outdated teaching methods --
e. g. , rote learning. Since he has completed only one semester,
we agree that second semester should give him a
firmer basis for making a recommendation on future use of this
program.

OTR's representative on SIPS, at a meeting called
by OCS for the purpose of discussing new edit routines and batch
control procedures in connection with OTR's machine runs. Tests
of error transactions under the new edit routine vs. the old procedure
turned out a much larger number of "kick-outs," 58 as compared
to 12. This will, of course, increase AIR's workload in processing
the Agency Training Record. Norman devotes half of his time
assisting OS, with the CS Records Courses.
8. who is setting up a training program for
the Automated Information Division of NPIC, has requested our
advice and assistance on training equipment. Next week the AVS
Branch will demonstrate to him at NPIC the uses of our closed
circuit TV system. If this equipment does not satisfy his needy
the possibility of filming certain portions of the proposed training
will be explored.
