3. Courses grouped under sections "0" and "T" are restricted to
personnel serving with the Clandestine Services. Other courses are open

of Defense schools and a variety of other professional courses are avail-
able to CIA personnel. These external courses are listed in the "L" sec-
tion of the Catalog, and enrollment is arranged through the Office of
Training. Enrollment in certain senior non-Agency courses is subject to
prior action by Agency selection panels.
6. Under certain circumstances, the Office of Training is prepared
to conduct special courses and training programs for personnel of other
IAC agencies. For some OTR courses, quotas are established for represent-
atives of the intelligence community.

trative Foreword, providing detailed information relative to planning

LOCATION Headquarters
The course is for persons from all major components at all levels
through GS-14 who are directly responsible for personnel at the first
working level. The objective is to orient the first-line supervisor to
the responsibilities and authority which are characteristic of first-line
supervision throughout the Agency. Presentations at the GS-12 to GS-14
level are titled "Supervision for Intelligence Officers" and are specifi-
cally geared to two types of individuals: (1) those whose main responsi-
bility is substantive research but who also have some management respon-
sibility as project leaders, and (2) those who guide or advise other
Intelligence Officers or technical personnel in a staff or liaison ca-
pacity.
The course assumes that most students are carrying their own produc-
tion workload, and that supervisory responsibilities are in addition to,
and not in place of, their substantive, technical or production assign-
ments. Particular emphasis is given problems of person-to-person rela-
tionships as the supervisor meets them in his responsibilities for training,
communicating, planning and disciplining. Selected aspects of organization,
leadership and control are also dealt with.
Each successive course is offered to a specified group, for example,
GS-9 - GS-11, so that supervisors of a given generallevel of responsi-
bility work together and so that specific course content can be adjusted
to the needs and capacity of the participants. A limited number of non-
supervisors being prepared for supervisory positions can be accepted, but
the specific reasons for their attendance at the course should be made
clear to them and to the instructor by the supervisor concerned.
The course content includes: reading, lectures, and group discussions
of problem cases. Through these means students are guided in applying
basic principles of sound management to the situations in which they are
working.

LOCATION Headquarters
The course is aimed primarily at the level of the Branch Chief, but
is open to personnel above and below that level. Each successive course
is offered to a specified group, for example, GS-12 through GS-14, so
that supervisors of a given general level of responsibility work together.
Students in the course are assumed to have at least one lower echelon of
supervisors under their direction; for example, section heads. It is
presumed that substantially full time on the job is spent in management
activities (planning, directing, coordinating and controlling), rather
than in direct substantive work. The course covers elements of manage-
ment which are common to middle levels in DD/I, DD/S, and DD/P.
The course contains the following major elements; (1), a highly
generalized job analysis of middle management responsibilities in the
Agency; (2) a limited amount of general doctrine current in the field of
management; (3) discussion of specific management techniques in use in
Agency components; and (4) group analysis of problem situations and of
case histories.
At every point the course emphasizes the student's responsibility
for translating his own background of experience and the information
exhanged in the course into the terms and problems of his current job
assignment. He is encouraged to define his problems as specifically as
possible, to select a line of attack, and to undertake his own solutions.
The 40 hours of the course span two weeks in half-day sessions, so that
participants may maintain daily contact with their offices and apply
ideas of the classroom to the job situation.

Intelligence Techniques is a course designed to give instruction and
training primarily to Junior Officer Trainees and other new professional
employees who will be engaged in the processing of intelligence materials.
The course is scheduled to follow immediately after the Intelligence Orien-
tation course.
In Intelligence Techniques the emphasis is on "learning by doing."
In lecture-discussion periods students are instructed in methods of pro-
cessing information for a variety of intelligence purposes. The techniques
are then applied in a series of exercises, such as preparation of an 0045
report; abstracting or extracting information pertinent to a particular
problem from a number of related documents; writing intelligence briefs,
memoranda, and special articles. Practice is also afforded in the oral
presentation of intelligence through a series of briefings on selected sub-
jects and problems of current strategic intelligence. In order to obtain
experience in intelligence research methodology, each student selects an
intelligence problem and reports the results of his research.

Experience and research demonstrate that average and better than av-
erage readers can improve their reading performance substantially, and
that the higher skill level is retained permanently.
By increasing comprehension and developing flexibility in application
of techniques, Agency employees can use reading as a more effective tool
for gaining information. The course is designed to develop a wide range
of reading skills so that the employee can adapt technique to reading
problems of varying length, complexity, and familiarity. Flexibility in
adjustment of technique to purpose and material increases accuracy and
speed, and reduces the amount of effort expended in reading;
Each student divides approximately 75% of his time in the course among
supervised practice exercises in study reading, informational reading, and
scanning techniques. Many of the practice exercises are based on Agency
documents of varying types. The proportion of course time each student
spends on the specific reading skills varies on the basis of an analysis
of his reading needs. The reading accelerator and other mechanical aids
are used to control some practice exercises. They help increase the num-
ber of words seen at one pause of the eye, and eliminate unconscious re-
gressive eye movements.
The remaining 25% of course time is devoted to lectures, group discus-
sions, and individual consultation with the instructor.

LANGUAGE (INTERNAL)*
Introduction
1. Ability to use the languages of foreign peoples is essential to
individuals in the business of foreign intelligence. Agency-sponsored
training in language exists because the effectiveness of every intelli-
gence officer depends as much on his possessing appropriate knowledge in
this field as on his professional or technical knowledge.
2. The quantity and types of desirable knowledge vary considerably
for different individuals and depend on the assignments and functions
with which they are charged. Language courses and programs are designed
to meet all degrees of need. These range from orientation or indoctri-
nation to solid academic programs designed to provide fluency in a for-
eign language. It is recognized, however, that attainment of rounded
fluency in a language requires from 2,000-3,000 hours of study in the
easier languages and from 6,000-8,000 hours in the more difficult lan-
guages.
3. Facilities for providing required knowledge in language to
Agency employees consist mainly of regular courses conducted by the Office
of Training, supplemented by the Agency's language laboratory, and regu-
lar courses available at other Government training centers and at univer-
sities especially equipped to provide specialized training in languages
(See AREA AND LANGUAGE fiXTEENAJSection.) Internal language courses
and programs are given on an Intensive (Full Time) basis, or a Part Time
basis. (See ADMINISTRATIVE FOREWORD: Long Term Schedules, Charts No. 2
and 3.) For details on enrollment procedures, see the ADMINISTRATIVE
FOREWORD.
4. Internal language courses listed in this section are either
regularly offered or are available when there is sufficient demand. It
is sometimes possible to offer courses on a one-time basis in a variety
of other languages by utilizing qualified Agency personnel loaned to OTR
for this purpose, or by employing consultants for intensive short courses.

LANGUAGE AND AREA (EXTERNAL)*
Introduction
1. These offerings are not all-inclusive. External language and
area training may be pursued at nearly all universities in the United
States and at many overseas. Virtually no programs or courses are
identical even though the subject may be the same. Final selection of
institutions, and determination of programs, are made by the Office of
Training on a basis of the stated objectives for training. It is ex-
pected that most needs for external language and area training will be
met by courses and programs described in the Catalog, or by other pro-
grams later announced by the Office of Training. Only when required
training is not obtainable through any of these programs, and is not
available through other scheduled courses in academic institutions,
should special, unscheduled programs be developed.
2. Requests should be submitted not less than one month, and pref-
erably three or more months, in advance. A few of these courses are
available only once a year and others only twice a year. The languages
in greatest demand, however, are available several times a year. To
assure accommodations for Agency employees, therefore, planning in some
cases should be done much in advance, and early consultation with OTR
is advised.
3. On an individual basis, area specialist programs can be devel-
oped for persons concerned with almost any area of the world. These
programs are intended, however, only for exceptional employees whom it
is desired to develop as rounded language officers with advanced fluency
in all aspects of the language or as advanced area specialists.
5. Except for the Area Analysts Program, the Area Specialists
Programs include one to two years of discipline language and area study
overseas. Offices sponsoring individuals for these programs should
plan field duty assignments to follow immediately the training period,
for a period extended to total time for a normal tour of duty in the
area. (Exception: USSR Program)

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Introduction
1. By authority of Public Law 110, 81st Congress, 1951, the Agency
may request any of the components of the Department of Defense to accept
Agency trainees in any of the Department's colleges or specialized
training courses. Accordingly, the Office of Training has obtained
specified quotas from Department of Defense senior colleges.
2. The mission of these schools is to train senior officers of the
Armed Services and certain other government agencies to exercise joint
high-level command and staff functions and perform strategic planning
duties in their respective departments. Consequently, the Agency Career
Service Board selects and recommends to the DCI for nomination to these
courses, career officers of the Agency whose qualifications are parallel
in age, training, and experience to the military officers attending each
course. The Agency representatives are men whose present or prospective
duties require a knowledge of current military doctrine, and who are
likely to be collaborating with the Armed Services within the intelligence
community in future years. At the same time, they must have had suf-
ficient experience within the Agency to be able to contribute a knowledge
of Agency functions and procedures to those phases of the military courses
in which the problems of intelligence are implicit. Current requirements
are included in Office of Training announcements when applications are
requested prior to the dates for selecting candidates.
3. The Agency has had quota allotments at the principal service
training courses in intelligence, including one at the Naval Intelligence
School, and three at the Army's Strategic Intelligence School. Other in-
telligence courses are available in such subjects as prisoner of war in-
terrogation, order of battle, and photo interpretation.
4. In addition to these senior command and intelligence training
courses, individual employees may be sent to specialized training courses
of all the Armed Services and to other special programs controlled at
Joint Chiefs of Staff or Department of Defense level. In recent years
such training has been obtained at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, at the
Chemical Warfare Center, at the Naval Guided Missiles Course; at the
Special Forces Training Center, Ft. Bragg; at the Infantry School, Ft.
Benning; at the Military Air Transport Service's School, the Army Lan-
guage School at Monterey, the Naval Schools at Anacostia; and at in-
stallations administered by the Quartermaster General, ?the Chief of Ord-
nance, and others.
5. The Office of Training maintains current catalogs of training
courses and schedules published by the Armed Services. These catalogs
list several hundred training courses from basic training to postgraduate
study in such professional fields as engineering, law, and medicine.

"The major portion of the student's work is devoted to the con-
sideration of significant problems relating to the various subjects of
instruction. As each subject is studied, the student body is formed
into a series of committees, corresponding in number to the major prob-
lems considered in that subject. Subcommittees are created to deal
with special aspects of these problems. Specific subjects are assigned
either to student committees or to individual students for exploration.
Each student committee and subcommittee, guided and assisted by members
of the faculty, develops its assigned phase of the subject. There are
no textbook or "school" answers to the problems. This approach is de-
signed to develop an understanding of economic principles in their ap-
plication to the problems of mobilization for war.
"Each committee and subcommittee is required to prepare a written
report on its assigned problem. The findings, conclusions, and recom-
mendations of the committee are presented orally by the students before
audiences composed of their fellow students, faculty members, and in-
terested personnel of the various Departments of the Federal Government.
"In addition to committee reports, all students are required to
prepare individual reports on selected subjects."

MANAGEMENT (EXTERNAL)
Introduction
1. American businessmen have gone to the universities for help in
studying the problems inherent in the growth of huge corporations. The
responsibilities undertaken by both business and Government executives in
our generation far exceed the expectations of fifty years ago. One re-
sult has been the inauguration of intensive training courses and seminars
for men in senior executive positions, which are now conducted on nearly
a dozen university campuses. The objective of these courses is to make
the corporation executive a better man for his job and to prepare him
for the assumption of still greater responsibility. Courses range in
duration from six to twelve weeks and are held variously from once to
four times a year.
2. Because the management problems of big Government are similar
to those of big business, many officers of the Federal Government have
attended these sessions in recent years, both as students and teachers.
The Office of Training considers some of these courses to be effective
in preparing qualified Agency employees for future advancement. The
oldest, longest, and most intensive of these programs Is the one con-
ducted twice yearly at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Adminis-
tration, where one Agency representative has been accepted for each of
the last seven courses. The Agency has also sent men to the similar
program conducted by the American Management Association in New York.
3. A brief description of the announced objectives of the principal
advanced management courses follows, with a statement of the prerequisites
for enrollment. Copies of the announcements of the current sessions of
these courses may be consulted at the Language and External Training
School, as well as others not included here.

"The Stanford Executive Development Program is designed to afford
certain values which individual company plans ordinarily cannot offer.
First, the program provides an integrated coverage of the important
fields of management. Second, the course is conducted in an atmosphere
conducive to concentrated application, removed from the customary in-
terruptions arising in an office or plant. Third, opportunity is pre-
sented for interchange of ideas with a group of selected executives from
various parts of the country, from a variety of business enterprises,
and from different operating backgrounds or fields of functional interest."
The Executive Development Program is intended as a supplement to
company plans and not as a substitute for the necessary in-company train-
ing "on the job for the job."
