(Address by the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence Given to the Assembled
Personnel of the Office of Training at the Annual Christmas Meeting)
I appreciate the opportunity to meet with you here again at your Christ-
mas meeting, and take a look at the progress we are making in the field of
training. Now progress is a relative term, but it is refreshing to look back
and evidence the consistent rise in the stature of our Agency in the eyes of
the leaders of the Nation, and in the eyes of the intelligence community as a
whole. Many of these "pluses" can be traced directly to the steadily increas-
ing training opportunities which we are providing to our personnel, in our
objective to equip them with the maximum skills required to do the job.
You know the world is full of lost opportunities. Our religious history
begins with an account of Adam and Eve having made a choice which resulted
in their being banished from the Garden of Eden--and eternal ease. Milton's
poem, "Paradise Lost", dramatizes the penalties which Man suffered for his
stupidity in ignoring the "long view"--a tall price indeed, in order to enjoy
the pleasures of the moment. In our own, business, many of you will recall
that relatively few people in the Agency, recognized early, the place of train-
ing. A large part of what we have today in the way of training, is a result
of a boot strap operation--a foresightedness by the few to take action--to
take the long view. Now, I've had a ringside seat for the past several years
to the training bout, and I have witnessed the gradual broadening of the base
of understanding of the importance of training, throughout the Agency.
Training is finding its rightful niche in the priority of things. Not as
many training opportunities are going by the board as before. However,
there is still a long way to go. We've still got a big job of communication
of ideas . There is always someone who hasn't got the word. And so you
people here today have got to get out and continue to be missionaries. As
necessary as Training Officers are, and we have many dedicated to their
tasks with each major component, you cannot stop with getting the word to
the Training Officers. Each one of you has got to spread the word to the
depths of our Agency--to all of our employees--to every prospective trainee.
I believe this missionary task to be one of your biggest challenges for the
coming year.

Now--I think we have set the stage, with the'5 per cent requirement.
I understand that some of you, as dedicated training people, may not think
much of a percentage figure being established as a requirement. You may be
concerned that we are establishing an artificial, mathematical level. If that
were all we are doing, I'd be concerned too. But this policy has more purpose
and meaning than that. It is a tangible way of demonstrating that training
is an important part of our business, and that we must pay the price for it by
devoting manhours to it. Secondly, we have established a basis for enforce-
ment, which heretofore has not existed. We have provided our executives
with a tool--with an understood and specified standard, below which they
are not supposed to fall. The 5 per cent is not a cut-off point--rather, it
provides our executives with a firm basis upon which they can determine the
appropriate levels of training for their components, and see who is or who
is not, living up to it. Above all, let's not waste our time quibbling about
whether our 5 per cent means equivalent manhours, or actual personnel in
training. Let's forget the concern that the establishment of the 5 per cent
rule, sets up an artificial equation. Rather, let's get behind the purposes
of the policy and make them work. Now, there may be some better ideas
by which we can accomplish the purposes outlined, and I will be delighted
to listen to them, and if need be, to change the 5 per cent rule. In the mean-
time let's back it.
The Agency can be proud of its record in the training field. The job
is well accredited by Admiral Richard Connally and Mr. David Bruce of the
President's Board of Consultants. After visiting a training installation,
these gentlemen advised the Director that they were extremely impressed
with the training establishment, with the degree of professionalism shown in
our courses, and with the high quality of our instruction. In this regard, you
should remember that Admiral Conolly is President of Long Island University
and previously was President of the Naval War College.
I believe this favorable situation exists in all of our training programs.
There has been an impressive increase in the variety of languages taught,
in the intensification of language training generally, and in the development
over the past 15 months of the area training program. While our language
school is far and away the smallest of government language programs, the
training is among the best and most extensive in the U. S. This is as it
should be. The idea of a foreign language dining room for busy people to
Approved For Release 2002/01/29 : CIA-RDP78-0637OA000100010038-4
 Approved For Release ?Q lM9.E1 A-RDP78-06370A000100010038-4
use as a means of maintaining their fluency, is a good one. I understand
too that the film programs and seminars are becoming quite popular. I expect
that all of these programs will increase in volume as the Agency implements
the new language incentive award scheme .
Another significant milestone of progress in our training effort is re-
flected in the establishment of the School of International Communism. I
look to this School with considerable optimism. CIA people must have a
clear understanding of international communism--its philosophy, organization,
psychology and techniques. In establishing this School, the Agency is raising
still higher the levels of effectiveness which in the future years we can expect
our personnel to attain.
As I have suggested earlier, when one speaks of Training, he must take
the "long view" of the Agency. There must be well-trained subordinates
ready to step into the shoes of retiring personnel. The Inspector General's
recent survey of the junior Officers Training Program, brought out clearly the
success of that program in demonstrating that planned recruitment, training
and placement, on the basis of careful pre-employment selection and screening,
is entirely feasible. Because of the success of this approach to bring new
blood into the Organization, the Agency has seen fit to broaden the JOT
Program. This means a lot of careful work for all of you to assure we main-
tain and improve the standard set for executive development.
A balance in training, like in other programs, is essential. Manage-
ment and supervision courses have helped considerably in improving super-
vision throughout the Agency. Sponsoring of CIA personnel to the Service
Schools, and to programs where they can brush shoulders with private business-
men, has extended our opportunities outward. Agency Orientation programs
for other government agencies, and for government-sponsored business officials,
has spread a better understanding of our mission to the people with whom we
must work. Specialized training in tradecraft, photo intelligence, statistics,
cable writing--to name but a few--has equipped our people with the tools of
the business. All of these programs and others will need your hard work over
the next year.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and I know that we can look forward
to a prosperous and successful New Year.

One of the more important assets of
the Agency security staucture is that
extra effort regularly put forth by
Agency personnel who, by virtue of
maturity in classified functions, or
by native sensitivity or training in
security matters, find individual and
etYhctive means of quietly strengthen-
ing the c3 ssffied scene of which they
are a part. The ve]ue of such efforts
is recognized and appreciated by
Security Officers throughout the es-
tablishment. There is an irrevoca-
ble factor of ?Ater-Dependency in our
mission and its attendant responsi-
bilities that, if heeded, has its
reward a thousandfold.
The following personnel assignment.
will be effective 7 January 1957:
NEXT INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTS EXHIBIT

guage training courses is approxi-
mately 27$; enrollmentin self-study
programs is approximately 111.
The Language Laboratory, 2132 Eire
Building, was utilized by 178 stu-
dents, during the past month, for a

"LIVING-LANGUAGE" TRIP
CONDUCTED FOR GERMAN CLASS
Latest in the series of "living

regular features of the OTR inten-
sive language program, was a German
luncheon at The Old Europe Restau-
rant. Instructors and students of
the Intensive German class carried
on their informal discussions exclu-
sively in conversational German.
These trips continue to prove both
enjoyable and productive as a teach-
ing-learning technique.
Conducted, thus far, for French
and German classes, all trips are
planned to coincide with course
material, and an effort is made to
develop a practical use of the vo-
cabulary appropriate to the place
visited.

"INSTRUCTORS' GUIDE
TO CURRENT REFERENCES"
BI-WEEKLY AVAILABLE TO YOU
The INSTRUCTORS' GUIDE TO CURRENT
REFERENCES, a bi-weekly publication
of the OTR Library, was originated
to serve as a research aid informing
instructors concerning documents and
articles relating to courses of in-
struction. In effect, it serves a
dual purpose, since often a mutual
interest exists between OTR instruc-
tional matter and the general and
specific materials occupying the
attention of Agency personnel;it is,
therefore, available on request to
personnel of other components.
On the opposite page an excerpt is
reproduced from a recent issue of
the GUIDE. Attention is directed to
these features:
Selections are made from clas-
sified and unclassified docu-
ments.

SPE CIAL LECTURE SERIES:
IN THE MAJaR LANGUAGES OF Ti E WORLD
25X1 A 10 OCTOBER TO
1 MAY 1957
All CIA personnel interested in improving their language proficiency
and area knowledge are invited to attend a series of foreign language
lectures (see Lecture Schedule below) presented Wednesdays at 1530 hours,
tained by calling You will,
of course, obtain authorization from your supervisor prior to attendance
at any one of the lectures.
Recognizing the need for increased knowledge in the language and
area fields, the Office of Training is offering this series of lectures
to be given in the major languages of the world by CIA personnel. Topics
of particular interest, both to analysts and personnel in operations,
have been selected. The purpose is twofold: To advance your knowledge
of foreign languages; to increase your insight into the understanding of
foreign peoples - their patterns of thought and behavior.
A special feature of the program is the amount of attention devoted
to the theme "Understanding and Dealing With Foreign Peoples." Individual
lecturers will speak on how to understand and deal with the Russians,
the Japanese, the Latin Americans, etc. In this way, much of the "know-
how" gained by our personnel through years of experience will be trans-
mitted to you. As a result, it is hoped that in your contacts with the
different nationalities, both here and abroad, you will be able to
establish more effective rapport and attain better results.
Summaries of the lectures, in English, will be provided in the
"Understanding and Dealing With Foreign People" talks, and also in a
few other instances. The lecture in Arabic, due to the very limited
number of Agency personnel able to understand this language, will be
given in English with a brief summary following in Arabic. -*

Intelligence Research (Maps) is designed to:
Relate geography to intelligence analysis. Examine the various
types of geography and the influence of geographic environment upon human
activities. Illustrate the importance of geographic factors bearing on
the intelligence problem by specific examples. Identify and classify on
a functional basis the types of maps of value to the intelligence officer
and demonstrate their preparation for use as briefing aids. Impart a
general understanding of the problem of map projection, but emphasize
the advantages and limitations of those projections most likely to be en-
countered by the Intelligence Officer in the course of his work. Teach
the simple skills required in order to derive a maximum of information
from maps.
Broaden the range of the map user through familiarity with maps
produced by various U.S. Agencies; and, with the principal military to-
pographic, commercial, and non-military map series published in foreign
countries. Teach the mathematical formulas needed to convert foreign
geographic coordinates based on the metric system; and, adjust geo-
graphic references based on prime meridians other than that passing through
Greenwich. Familiarize the students with map reference materials available

READING IMPROVEM'NT IN THE INTELLIGENCE FIELD
(By the staff of the Reading Improvement Branch/Intelligence School/TR)
WHAT CIA EMPLOYEES READ
Reading is a significant part of each day's work for about 95% of
the Agency's professional employees. Employees enrolled in the Reading
Improvement course estimate that they spend an average of 4 hours reading
in their offices every day. This is an overall average figure for DD/P.
DD/S, and DD/I employees; for instance, surveys have shown that 181 DD/P
and DD/S employees estimated they read 4.2 hours per day, while 156 DD/I
employees estimated they read 4.1 hours per day.
What they read is unique in two respects: amount and variety. To
do his job, each employee absorbs quantities of printed material, includ-
ing long and short, well-organized and disorganized, abstract and simple,
detailed and general memoranda, reports, staff studies, and cables.
To assimilate this assortment effectively, a case officer, a support
officer, or an intelligence officer must be a flexible reader. He must
adapt his reading rate to subject matter and purpose, so that he reads
easy material fast and difficult material slowly. He must distinguish
the essentials from the non-essentials by locating ideas accurately. He
must sometimes remember what he reads in every detail, at other times
only the highlights, and sometimes he need not remember anything at all,
once he has examined a document.
HOW THEY READ
Scores on a standardized reading test show that Agency professional
employees perform better than average college seniors. But tests which
require varied reading techniques show that they do not use their high
ability most skillfully.
One common reading fault is the application of specialized reading
techniques to all subject matter. Instead of extracting the significant
information from an area background report, a reports officer may
mentally rephrase it, while an engineer may analyze it word for word.
Result: they spend valuable time, conscientiously accomplishing nothing.
HOW THE OTR READING t PROVEWHNT COURSE IMPROVES READING SKILLS
The Reading Improvement course helps employees achieve greater
efficiency and ease in reading by emphasizing several skills: how to
survey a writer's scope and purpose prior to reading; locate essentials;
.organize information and ideas; and how to improve mechanical skills
associated with the reading process.

 Approved For Release 2002/if._IDP78-06370A000100010038-4
Most of the skill improvement is achieved by practice. The class
group scans, reads, and discusses selected CS reports, 00 reports, Foreign
Service Dispatches, and Atlantic Monthly articles. They also write and
criticize summaries or abstracts of the reports. Each student reads a
book of his choice (usually non-fiction) with the Reading Accelerator,
and writes a critical review of the book. Harvard and Purdue reading films
are used for practice at reading rapidly and assimilating articles about
history, anthropology, education, political science, and personalities.
RESULTS OF READING IM}ROVEMENT TRAINING
How are results measured? Three tests, for three different reading
skill areas, are given before and after the course to show the degree of
improvement. The informational reading tests are based on thorough reading
of 12-to-15 page Department background reports on Berlin.. Jordan,
the Philippines, and India. In the study read tests, the student reads
a 2r page cable, then writes a thorough abstract of the cable without
referring to it. The scanning tests require rapid selection of the main
ideas in Atlantic Mont ghl articles about liberation, tariff policies, and
foreign service training.
During the calendar year 1956, 80 employees completed 5 Readin
Im rovement classes. The number of students from each component was:
D-- 41; DD/I - 22; DD/S - 17. The average scores for these 80
students on the scanning and informational reading tests before and
after the course were as follows:
Skill - _ Before After
Reading Rate* Score* Reading Rate* Score*
Scanning for
main ideas 531 73% 824 81%
Informational
reading 271 75% 394 75%
'Reading rate is in words per minute, and score refers to the
percentage of questions answered correctly.
The students also achieved increases in accuracy, thoroughness, and
organization of cable abstracts, but different study reading tests were
used in different parts of the year, so that statistics cannot be reported.
WHAT THE RESULTS MAR
At the rate of 271 words per minute, it takes 26 minutes to read a
12-page area background report. At 394 words per minute, it takes 18
minutes to read the same report. At the rate of 271 words per minute,
you can read 191 double-spaced typewritten pages in 4 hours. At the
rate of 394 words per minute, you can read those 191 pages in 2.7 hours
1.3 hours less. The increase in speed, of course, is only one result.
More accurate pinpointing of main ideas means that the employee reads
more alertly, selecting the significant ideas from reports, dispatches
and memoranda. He is more discriminating in handling important documents,
and he gets the writer's specific meaning.

for the experience.
While your wife has been pretty much in the dark about your work in the
past, she is now going to be inevitably drawn at least to the periphery of
that work.
Your wife will have to learn to live the life of cover, beginning now
as you prepare for your overseas assignment and continuing throughout that
assignment. She must therefore be briefed on the necessity for cover and
on the pitfalls to avoid in trying to maintain it. Such a briefing, given
by the Agency's experts on the subject, is available to her in the "Depen-
dents' Briefing," course B-23 in your office copy of the OTR Catalog.
Your wife will also be the custodian of your family's health overseas.
She must be briefed on the hygienic measures necessary for the maintenance
of that health in various parts of the world. She may be prepared to boil
water to be used for drinking purposes, but does she know how to avoid the
dangers of infectious hepatitis? Many medical problems could be avoided
with the proper briefing before departure. Such a briefing, given by the
medical officers of the Agency, is available in the "Dependents' Briefing."
Does your wife understand the role of CIA on the world scene? Does she
have an understanding of the importance of its intelligence mission and how
it provides guidance to the top policy makers of the nation? Is she suffi-
ciently "cut in" to feel like a member of the official Agency family? To
relieve you of the problem of what to tell her, what not to tell her, and
how much to tell her, briefings on intelligence and the role of CIA are
available to her in the "Dependents' Briefing."
Even now, does she know what to plan for and what to bring with her
overseas? Should she bring a two-year supply of nylons, or should she de-
pend on getting them overseas? If the family is to occupy a"furnished
house," does this include silver? She may have domestics overseas: should
her relationship with them be one of camaraderie or one of detachment? All
these and many other like practical questions are bound to occur to her.

She can have these questions answered by women who have been overseas them-
selves, simply by attending the "Dependents' Briefing."
Is she prepared to conduct herself overseas in an inconspicuous manner,
avoiding security hazards, and understanding and supporting you at all
times? Is she prepared to be an ambassador of good will for the United
States? Practical suggestions along these lines, replete with illustra-
tions of various things to do, or to avoid, are available to her in the "De-
pendents' Briefing."
Over a year ago, the "Dependents' Briefing" was launched by top Agency
officials. It is a six-hour briefing, divided into two three-hour sessions,
given monthly on the Tuesday and Wednesday of the first week. Briefings
are given by Agency people from the DD/P, the Medical Office, the Security
Office, and the Office of Training.
Audience reaction is universally good. The most frequently heard com-
ment from the wives Is: "I wish I had had something like this when n hus-
band first came to work for the Agency."

who already have some knowledge of a given language, and are designed
to test how well a person reads, writes, and speaks that language.
Individuals applying for intermediate or advanced study of a language
may be required by the Office of Training to take the proficiency
test in that language in order to determine just what further train-
ing will be most rewarding. The written part of the test (covering
reading and writing) requires about 3 - 4 hours and is given in the
morning. The oral part requires about 15 minutes for each person
and is given in the afternoon. Individuals may elect, or be required
to take tests in reading, writing, or speaking, or any combination
of these capabilities. All tests are administered on Wednesday.
Call extension S at least one week prior to the date of a test,
to arrange an appointment.
