BULLETIN BOARD
INTELLIGENCE
ORIENTATION
FOR EOD's
To facilitate registration of professional EODs in
the four-week Intelligence Orientation Course
(Introduction to Intelligence and Introduction to
Communism) as required by he Office
of Personnel sends the Registrar's and the Instructor's
copy of a completed Form 73, "Request for Internal
Training, " to the Registrar, OTR. The Registrar
then negotiates with the component to which each
individual is being assigned and arranges specific
dates for attendance. To accommodate the volume
of students now required to take this course, it has
been necessary to schedule as many runnings of this
course each year as the available classrooms and
instructional staff will allow. It is also essential to
utilize all spaces available in each running. In view
of these circumstances, last-minute cancellations
and postponements requested by Training Officers
or Training Assistants after employees have been
registered have become an increasing problem,
since every effort must then be made to fill each
class. Training Officers are requested, therefore,
to avoid, whenever possible, postponement of the
attendance of employees in their offices at Intelligence
Orientation Courses, for such a request starts a
chain reaction that must involve Training Officers
and employees in other offices beyond the Registrar
Staff itself.
OTR'S ADP Following the pilot running of OTR's ADP Orientation
ORIENTATION Course, both the January and February offerings
were promptly oversubscribed. Training Officers
are urged to send in applications as early as possible
for the remaining runnings scheduled this fiscal
year, 21 - 23 March, 2 - 4 May, or 13 - 15 June.

OTR as a Support Organization:
The Intelligence School of the Office of Training is responsible
for that part of the total Agency training mission that is related
to skills, techniques, and methods applied in the production of
f inished intelligence and to orientation and briefing concerning
the intelligence community and the Agency's mission and function
in the national security structure. Because its responsibilities
fall into two general areas, the School is composed of two faculties,
the Intelligence Production Faculty (IPF) and the Orientation and
Briefing Faculty (OBF). The pages that follow identify and describe
the major activities of these two faculties.

The basic criterion against which all Intelligence School pro-
grams are evaluated is that of current reality. It is true, of course,
that some training and briefing programs are concerned with
ideas, concepts, motivations - - even doctrinal philosophy; but
even the appearance of academic retreat to the ivory tower is
avoided. In other words, the School's programs must be respon-
sive to the current requirements of the Agency and must be
continually developed and revised to maintain currency.
Every effort is made to keep abreast of changes of all kinds
within the Agency and the intelligence community -- changes in
organization, responsibilities, methods, and doctrine; training
problems are kept as uncontrived,as "live, It as the classroom
situation permits; and the best substantive capabilities in all
Agency components are called upon to contribute to classes and
seminars. Most Intelligence School instructors have had non-
Agency experience in teaching at the college level, and all
instructors must have had some years of Agency experience in
a production or support activity outside the Office of Training.
It would be impossible, of course, to sustain the currency
and reality of Intelligence School training without the full
cooperation of the producing, operating, and supporting components
of the Agency. The fact that we are getting that cooperation is
clearly indicative of the Agency's belief in the importance of the
training mission.
The variety of instructional services for which the Intelligence
School is responsible is manifest in the following descriptions,
which.are largely in the words of the instructors themselves. It
should be emphasized that though most of the courses are scheduled
on a regular basis, many of these can be run in response to a
specific request and can be tailored for the needs of specific
offices.

The Intelligence Production
Faculty (IPF) is oriented perhaps
more specifically toward the Directorate
of Intelligence than toward any other part of CIA. Yet it offers
instruction in some of the basic skills useful to professionals in
every component of the Agency. All CIA professionals need adept-
ness in intelligence writing, in intelligence briefing, and in
conference techniques. Other skills courses, needed primarily
in research offices but also used in offices doing operational
planning, include Intelligence Research Techniques and Map and
Photo Interpretation. Two substantive courses open also to
professionals in all parts of the Agency are the Geography of the
USSR and the Geography of China. These courses are vital to the
intelligence officer concerned with either of the two major targets
of our intelligence effort.
Most of the training provided by the IPF is for Career Trainees
(CTs). The CT courses include the skills taught to non-CTs--
writing, briefing, analysis, map reading, photo interpretation. In
addition, these courses acquaint the CTs with the work of the
Directorate of Intelligence and in some parts of the Directorate of
Science and Technology, and provide practice in the analytical and
operational techniques of these directorates, especially those related
to research and to certain types of collection.

The IPF also gives support to training outside its own courses.
Individual lectures are given in courses conducted by other OTR
faculties and in courses offered in other agencies. Members of

Federal prose (not to be mistaken for English) shuns the active
voice. It transmutes strong verbs into cumbersome nouns; adverbs
into prepositional phrases; and nouns, adjectives. In the world of
the federal prose writer, emphasis becomes redundancy, facts
become abstractions, formality becomes pomposity. Or, to use
a recent example, "Christmas services" become "appropriate
religious services in keeping with the spirit of the Christmas

Two 26-hour courses in "de-pomping, " listed in the OTR Catalog
as Basic and Intermediate Writing Workshops, run several times
yearly. The basic course welcomes anyone who writes and is
dissatisfied with the results. Diction, sentence structure, punctua-
tion, paragraph development are treated as needed. The Intermediate
Workshop takes those who have had the basic course or who have
passed an English grammar pretest (which the Assessment and
Evaluation Staff of the Office of Medical Services gives once a month.)
Here, discussion focuses on the logic, organization, unity, emphasis,
and coherence of the finished paper. In both courses the student
spends about half the class time criticizing and revising papers
written in the preceding session and discussing related principles
of writing, and he spends the other half in putting those principles
into practice. In both, the grand goal is, simply, clarity.
Those who cannot leave their desks twice a week can take these
courses by correspondence. Occasionally, special workshops
are arranged for particular Agency components, and the course is
based on materials peculiar to that office; occasionally, also,
short segments of writing training can be fitted into the training
programs of other offices.
Parallel with written communication is oral communication.
Any number of situations arise during the ordinary conduct of
Agency business wherein communication to or through groups or
individuals on a personal basis is desirable. Courses in Effective
Speaking, Briefing Techniques, and Conference Techniques give
Agency employees an opportunity to improve their oral communication
skills. Currently, the classes meet once a week for twelve two-hour
sessions. Student presentations are constructively criticized
both by the instructor and by the class. Tape recordings assist
in further self-study and analysis. Special instruction is given
in the selection and use of graphic aids.

The Intelligence Research Techniques Course is intended for
any professional who does research and analysis in CIA, and
for those, such as librarians, whose main job it is to support
analysts. The course is usually a specialized presentation
tailored to meet the specific needs of analysts in a particular
office. For example, the course has been given numerous
times for analysts from the Office of Scientific Intelligence, in
versions ranging in length from four to twelve weeks, full time.
It has also been given three times for analysts, librarians, and
indexers in NPIC's Collateral Support Division as a two-week full-
time course. A five-week version was given to analysts in the
research branch of a foreign intelligence service. On the other
hand, the course is occasionally open to analysts from all parts of
the Agency simultaneously.
Usually students bring from their job a research project on
which they work during the course, going through all the steps in
the research process: planning a project (writing terms of reference
and a project schedule), using Agency repositories of information,
assembling information from the in-box, using analyst files, using
collection programs, analyzing, and writing finished intelligence
reports. At each step students read a volume of the special seven-
part text prepared for this course. In most versions of the course,
students are given instruction in intelligence writing to point out
their major writing problems and to help them overcome these problems.

During the course, students visit libraries, registers, research
offices, and other areas in and outside the Agency, within security
limitations, where their project would naturally lead them. In
these offices they hear briefings and see the operation of collection,
filing, and dissemination systems, and learn at first hand what
resources are available to them as researchers.
Because this course usually runs only about four weeks, students
are seldom able to complete their research projects. At the end
of the course, therefore, they write a progress report on their
project, reviewing the information they have already found, noting
the major gaps in their information, and outlining the measures
they plan to take after the course to fill these gaps.

Pretty pleased with yourself? Did you notice that the trail went
only about one-third of the way, that a ravine had to be crossed
and that the last part was across rice paddies? Did you notice
that the map scale was in kilometers (3 3/4 kilometers is
approximately 2. 3 miles)? If any doubt lingered in your mind
about whether you'd figured it right (or whether that young
analyst who works for you had it right), maybe you or he should
sign up for the Intelligence Research - Map and Photo Interpretation -
Course.
Does a handful of aerial photographs leave you impressed but
frankly bewildered as to what to do with them. Here again, the
Map and PI course, packed into seven full days, can help.
The aim of this course is to develop the ability to fully exploit
maps used in intelligence and to perform simple photo interpretation
tasks, using relatively simple and readily available field and office
equipment. During the course the students also develop an awareness
of the limitations of these methods and this equipment, especially
in photo interpretation, and learn where and how to get Agency
support when needed. Thus, this course teaches do-it-yourself
methods, and it stresses recognition of the moment at which to
call in a professional.
Classes are a mixture of lectures, demonstrations, and practical
exercises, of which the high point - - literally as well as figuratively
-- is a 1, 000-mile flight during which students photograph
designated targets and identify objects from the air.
The Map and Photo Interpretation course is available on
request. Enrollment is limited to fifteen students. Every
effort is made to schedule this course at a time that is convenient.

::INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES COURSE
The three-week
Intelligence Techniques Course
is part of the early headquarters
training given to all CTs. For many
future case officers it is the only taste of life
in the Directorate of Intelligence and the only exposure to the work
done there. The faculty instructs in skills which the student will
find useful throughout his career, wherever he may work, and it
tries to give the student and the Agency some basis for making a
rational decision concerning the direction his career will take.
The skills emphasized in the course are those of communication
and analysis. The communication skills, writing and oral briefing,
are heavily stressed, both because of their Agency-wide importance
and because this may be the only time during his training when the
CT will receive formal guidance in them. Four oral briefings (on
current, scientific, and geographic intelligence, and a final ten-
minute presentation) enable most students to develop a degree of
platform presence, to free themselves of distracting mannerisms,
to think on their feet. The ten written exercises are criticized and
graded for writing as well as for analysis.
Problems the CTs are asked to solve during the course require
the application of the varied analytical techniques in use in the
analysis offices of the Directorate of Intelligence. Students use
qualitative and estimative analysis in exercises such as the currentl
used Analysis Exercise,
Both approaches apply to the Economic
anda Analysis paper.

INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTION
The nine-week Intelligence Production Course is designed for
CTs who have been selected to make their careers in the Directorate
of Intelligence. Its aims are closely related: To show CTs in a
concrete way how the work in each component supports and is
supported by every other partof the Directorate; to give represent-
atives of the Directorate's offices a chance to observe and evaluate
the caliber of prospective employees; and to give the Career Training
Program Staff, and the CTs themselves, an appreciation of each
individual's potential for filling specific assignments in the Directorate.
The course is an exploration of the problems of producing finished
intelligence and of the other major activities of the Directorate of
Intelligence -- collection, dissemination, and storing and retrieving
information in whatever form. It combines problem solving with
at-the-desk discussion with working analysts. It includes panel
discussions, tours, and briefings. All components of the Directorate
are eventually visited. A seminar or discussion by a faculty member
precedes each visit. During the visits the students have an opportunity
to meet senior officers and key personnel. The student prepares
a written report or participates in an oral discussion reviewing
almost every visit. The CTs also study and visit offices outside

the Directorate of Intelligence whose work frequently is closely
related to or requires heavy support from thatDirectorate. In
this category are the Joint Operations Intelligence Center, the
Board of National Estimates, and the Office of Scientific Intelligence.
In a further effort to gain a working knowledge of the functions
of the Directorate of Intelligence, the CTs spend about two weeks
preparing a research paper. These papers deal with intelligence
methods, procedures, and problems rather than with substantive
matters. Some examples of research titles in a recent class were:
"Legal Traveler Reporting on Scientific and Technological Research
and Development in the Soviet Union, " "Support of Counterinsurgency
Planning by the Directorate of Intelligence, " "White House Staff
Requirements for Intelligence Support from the Directorate of
Intelligence. "
Because of the lack of published material on the subjects involved,
the CTs can obtain information only by interviewing professionals
in CIA. In this way, the CTs are forced to make many contacts
with officers in the Directorate of Intelligence and sometimes in
other directorates. Occasionally, the results of these research
papers have appeared as articles in Studies in Intelligence.

The Orientation and Briefing Faculty (OBF) accomplishes its
mission in two basic ways: providing briefings and conducting
courses. The briefing function is distinctive in that it is not
only, or even primarily, directed inward toward Agency personnel,
but outward toward non-CIA audiences. OBF courses vary from
the basic, through intermediate, to advanced seminars. None
of the courses teaches skills; all involve dialogue and are con-
cerned with insight, understanding, and perspective. The
following articles, contributed by OBF members themselves,
give something of the flavor and scope of both the briefing
function and the principal courses.

Throughout the years there has been a continuing demand for
briefings on CIA and the intelligence community. Except for
selected occasions when senior Agency officials are involved,
OTR, and specifically the OBF, is responsible for providing the
briefings. The number of briefings has grown from some 75 in
1955 to approximately 300 in 1966.
A briefing, as the term implies, is short; It may vary from a
few minutes to most of a day, but it averages about two hours.
Special emphasis is given to adapting every presentation to the
needs and interests of the particular audience, and since the
circumstances of each briefing are different -- audience compo-
sition, time available, security limitations, depth of coverage --
each briefing is different.
Within CIA, briefings for two grqups of personnel have become
standard. All individuals entering on duty are provided with an
introduction to CIA and its mission. Similarly, professionals
returning from overseas assignment attend sessions at which they
are brought up to date on organizational developments and security
matters.

Briefings for non-CIA audiences often assume a public relations
dimension, because, through them, the Agency image is brought
into focus. U. S. Government groups make up the largest element
among outsiders to whom OBF directs its attention. Staff members
regularly appear in a number of training courses at the Department
of State, USIA, AID, DIA, NSA, and the Military Assistance Institute,
and at Army, Navy, and Air Force installations throughout the
country. Briefings are given also to dependents of Agency employees,
to business groups, and to university groups. A prize OBF assign-
ment is the briefing of senior officials of the United States or foreign
countries. The briefing of the foreign official, given at the request
of the Clandestine Services, is generally part of an introductory
visit to the Agency.
INTELLIGENCE REVIEWCOURSE
The Intelligence Review Course is given twice a year for professionals
at middle and senior levels all over CIA. It gives a picture - -

Community, and especially of the Agency itself. It offers appraisals
of major international trends affecting intelligence; surveys changes
in and problems facing the intelligence community; describes recent
and possible future changes in Agency organization; identifies some

support of intelligence; and tries to provide a glimpse into the future of
the U. S. intelligence effort.
The course attempts to overcome a common problem of the CIA
professional -- the narrowing of interest and direction which over-
takes him as he becomes increasingly immersed in the demands
of his immediate work. Its content has been selected to broaden
his view of the intelligence world and to increase his appreciation
of the problems and achievements of his fellow workers. Guest
speakers from the Office of the Director and from each of the four
Directorates explain the significant developments and problems of
their components. In addition, senior officers from other depart-
ments and agencies of the government describe national security
and foreign policy issues and their requirements for intelligence
support.
In the most recent course, the Special Assistant to Ambassador
Averill Harriman and the Dean of the School of Professional Studies
of the Foreign Service Institute of the Department of State spoke on
the relationship and importance of intelligence to U. S. foreign
policy needs. A senior State Department intelligence officer and
the Assistant Chief of Staff, Plans and Programs, of the Defense
Intelligence Agency described the intelligence activities in these two
departments. The list of Agency speakers included the Executive
Director-Comptroller, the General Counsel, the Chairman of the
Board of National Estimates, the Assistant Deputy for National
Intelligence Programs Evaluation, a Deputy Director, an acting
Deputy Director, an Assistant Deputy Director, and fifteen Directors
or Chiefs in the four Directorates.
Complementing the formal presentations are group presentations
by the students themselves. Since the class contains representatives
from all components of the Agency, and each component is represented
so far as possible in each seminar, the individual students are
constantly exposed to the work and thought of components other
than their own. The Directorate of Intelligence analyst comes to
realize the point of view of the Clandestine Services operations
officer and vice versa, and both become conversant with the
procedures and trials of the finance or logistics officer in rendering
his support. And finally, all are exposed to the esoteric world of
science and technology.

Introduction to Intelligence is the intelligence segment of the
Intelligence Orientation Course, which, under one name or
another, has run without interruption since the early days of the
Agency. All professional employees of CIA -- except for Career
Trainees who have their own version of it -- are now required to
take this course after they have entered on duty, and it is a
prerequisite for many other courses given by OTR. A two-week
course, currently scheduled ten times a year, it introduces the
student briefly to the national security structure and the intelligence
community; gives him a comprehensive picture of the mission,
organization, and functions of the Agency; alerts him to current
problems of interest to intelligence officers in different parts of
the world; and provides him with an opportunity to examine his
knowledge of his American heritage and to voice his opinions on

different aspects of the United States, both as a private individual
in a seminar and as a representative of the U. S. Government in
a simulated interview with a person from another culture.
The course is designed for new employees but regularly attracts
about one-tenth of its enrollment from experienced Agency
professionals, particularly those whose jobs have been of such
an esoteric nature that they have been outside the mainstream of
Agency activity. Classes include persons of differing ages and
grades from all directorates of the Agency. During the past year,
for example, the ages of the students ranged from 21 to 54, and
the grades from GS-6 to GS-15.
As its name implies, the course seeks to introduce the student
to intelligence and to show him where he stands in relation to his
own component, to other components in the Agency, to the Agency
as a whole, to the intelligence structure of the U. S. Government,
and, in some part, to the entire Executive Branch of the U. S.
Government. The purpose is both motivational and practical: It
pictures the student as a part of a process and an organization doing
work of unique importance and influence; it acquaints the student
with the other components of the intelligence structure (in the
Agency particularly) so that he may know to whom to go when
confronted with an intelligence problem.
Generally speaking, the OBF staff speaks on the extra-Agency
subjects, such as the organization for national security and the
intelligence community, and on the overall organization of the
Agency. This sets the stage for lecturers from different areas of
the Agency to speak on their own components -- on the work that
each does and how this work ties in with the overall mission of
CIA. Guest speakers from the Directorate of Intelligence lead
off, followed by those from the Directorate of Science and
Technology, the Clandestine Services, and the Support Services,
in that order.
Developed throughout the course are two other themes: a
survey of conditions of interest in differing areas of the World;
and the American Thesis program. The survey gives the class
an up-to-date picture of critical events abroad, together with the
background of these events and their importance to the United States.
Since these are presented by senior officials thoroughly familiar
with their areas, they give a picture of the world not as seen
through the eyes of a historian or a commentator but through the
eyes of an intelligence officer.

The American Thesis program seeks to emphasize to the students
that the more they know of their own country and the better they
can articulate whay they know, especially in dealing with foreigners,
the more effective they will be in this or any other agency dealing
with foreign affairs.
The faculty attempts to "re-interest" the students in what they
have already been exposed to in a greater or lesser degree during
their school and college years -- the fundamentals of American
beliefs, American history, and the role of the United States in
today's world. It is hoped that the students will begin to clarify
in their own minds what ideals the United States stands for and
why it stands for them. To this end, the students are involved in
a series of three exercises. At the beginning of the course the
members of the class individually list and jointly discuss American
values; later, in a seminar, the students, separated into small
teams, present for discussion aspects of a topic on which they
have done some research; and, finally, the students answer
questions about the United States which are posed to their teams
by an instructor playing the role of a person from another culture.
Instruction is primarly through lectures, but these are
supplemented both by reading material and films. Staff papers,
which have been periodically updated, and examples of intelligence
which the Agency produces support the presentations of each
directorate. A reading kit and a library of Americana complement
the exercises making up the American Thesis program. Films
introduce many of the lectures and augment the development of
the area studies and the American Thesis theme.

ORIENTATION TO INTELLIGENCE (for CT's)
The objective of this course is to familiarize the Career
Trainee with intelligence and intelligence organization and with
national security and national security organization. To this end,
the course examines terminology and concepts, history and theory,
structure and dynamics, function and purpose. The main thrust
of the course is aimed at understanding the mission, functions,
and organization of CIA, but a context is provided to give breadth
to the treatment. CIA is presented as a part of the intelligence
community, the intelligence community as a part of the foreign
affairs community, the foreign affairs community as a part of the
national security family, and the national security family as a
part of the Government of the United States. Intelligence briefings
are also given on selected foreign areas to bring the whole into
focus with the world problems faced by the United States today.
The Orientation to Intelligence Course differs from the
Introduction to Intelligence Course in that the Orientation to
Intelligence Course gives a more detailed picture of the non-
Agency intelligence community, emphasizing policy and decision-
making functions in the foreign affairs area, and does not include

VIETNAM ORIENTATION
"I 'm going to Saigon, but I don't know anything about the place.
What clothes do I take? Do I need any furniture? Will my wife
and children accompany me? Is it safe? And the situation out
there 1 What is MACV, ARVIN and RDC? And who are the Hoa
Hao, the Cao Dai, and the Dai Viet? As a matter of fact, am I
pronouncing these names correctly? Needless to say, I can't
spell them. I just don't know anything about Vietnam. Where do
I begin? "
Imagine not one, but ten, twenty, thirty, and even occasionally
forty persons parading through your office each month with these
and a hundred other such questions and comments pouring out of
their mouths. Better still, imagine yourself at the Saigon airport
-- the name is Tan Son Nhut -- meeting these questioners as they
come tumbling out of the plane. Now you have the historical

background to the Far East Division's decision to economize on
time and energy by giving a formal program of instruction on
Vietnam to all Saigon-bound personnel.
In collaboration with FE, OTR now gives, once a month, as it
has since November 1965, a full week of lectures, films,
discussions with returnees from Saigon, and recommended
readings to all those persons currently preparing for departure
to Saigon. The lectures stress, in particular, four main themes:
the background of the struggle in Vietnam; the nature, the
strategy, and the tactics of the communist insurgents; the
response of the governments of South Vietnam and the United
States; and finally, the structure, operations, and problems of
our own Agency in Vietnam.
A fifth theme, a personal one, permeates the whole week,
inasmuch as the students are given every opportunity to ask the
speakers any question, personal or occupational, relevant to
their assignment. So many are these questions that the final
afternoon of the program is devoted to lectures and discussions
on health, insurance, travel, processing, clothing, and related
subjects. Just to make certain that everything that can be
covered this side of the Pacific is covered, the program concludes
with a four-man "Panel on Hitherto Unanswered Questions. "
The Orientation clearly simplifies FE's problem of preparing
people for Saigon, and the fact that they are "less green" than
might otherwise have been the case makes it easier for Saigon
to assimilate the new personnel. From the point of view of the
people themselves, the Orientation provides an excellent
opportunity to meet as a group and discuss common problems,
opportunities, and the future, and also to do this against the
background of information and experiences furnished by Saigon
veterans.
The Far East Division of the CS handles registration initially
for most people, and new personnel are scheduled for this
Orientation as soon as it is convenient for them. Reading
materials are made available before the beginning of the course.
