MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Training
SUBJECT: Semiannual Course Report for', Introduction
to CIA (U)
1. (U) Introduction
This is the first semiannual course' report for the
Introduction to CIA (ITCIA) course. It covers three runnings
of the course--Nos. 9, 10, and 11--which were offered
12-23 September, 31 October - 11 November, and 5-16 December
1977, respectively. The undersigned was course chairman for
all three runnings.
of the general EQU briefings. This was particularly evident
in the general class discussion held in ITCIA',No. 11, where
a number of students had been on board less than six months.
,r,-In addition, several participants in ITCIA No. 10 from the
2. (U) Curriculum
A copy of the schedule of ITCIA No.lll, which is
similar to Nos. 9 and 10, is attached. Slight modifications
were made in each offering to accommodate guest speakers,
but, in general, the course format developed with the
revision of the Intelligence and World Affairs course has
been retained. Course participants, on the whole, were
satisfied with the way the material was presented and felt
that the course objectives were met. However', an area of
concern has been noted in some of the student evaluations
that the first one or two days of the course is duplicative G-f
course duplicated parts of the which they
were taking. In both cases, I would suggest that a future
course chairman might monitor an EOD briefing to see if the
redundancy is as much as claimed. Also, more coordination
with OS training personnel might clarify the situation with
regard to duplication, particularly when a large group of
security trainees is expected in ITCIA.
`~ Office of Security (OS) felt that some portions of the

participants or a utilization rate of 79 percent. The DDSIT
and NFAC provided 40 and 27 percent respectively of the
participants, and the Directorate of Administration (DDA)
sent 23 percent, of which 71 percent of that number came
from the Office of Security. The Directorate of Operations
(DDO) and the DCI's area each had 4 percent of the beginning
enrollment. It is highly unlikely, with the current climate
in the DDO, that participation from that Directorate will be
much higher in the future. With these figures in mind, it
might be worth considering the possibility of reducing the

end when we try and tie things together to show how the
Agency fits into the entire Intelligence Community.
The three runnings of ITCIA offered in this
reporting period provided an enrollment capacity of 114
positions. Beginning enrollment for the courses was 90-
3. (C) General Observations
As expected, each class exhibited a cohesiveness
and chemistry of its own, depending on the general makeup of
the group. Those groups in which the National Foreign
Assessment Center (NFAC) and Directorate of Science and
Technology (DDS1T) predominated were more interested in
things analytical. The group which had the large number of
OS participants seemed to focus on people-oriented problems.
All groups found the Office of Imagery Analysis and Office
of Central Reference briefings and tours interesting and
useful, as well as the presentation by on the
activities of the Office of Technical Service. ,The presen-
tation by Office of Strategic Research, on the
nature of analytical work in CIA was also well received.
All groups felt that those speakers who relied heavily on
visual aids to carry their presentations were less effective
t an those who used graphics as a tool to present a specific
case study. Surprisingly, a large number of participants
singled out the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) presentation
as least useful. Despite the fact that ITCIA is designed to
be a general orientation course on the Agency for new
professionals, several participants suggested that there
should be at least cursory coverage of other agencies in the
Intelligence Community, such as the Defense Intelligence
Agency and the National Security Agency. A few suggested
that the presentation on the Intelligence Community Staff
should be at the beginning of the course ra-ther,than at the

number of runnings of ITCIA to five per year to achieve a
better utilization rate and to reduce the number of times
that we have to call on speakers to participate in our
courses. Cooperation and support from the participating
offices and directorates have been excellent, but even the
elimination of one running would reduce the demands we make
and perhaps continue to ensure high quality participation
and fewer speaker substitutions.
5. (U) Conclusion
The three runnings of ITCIA covered,by this report
were highly satisfactory in the undersigned's ,estimation.
The participants were enthusiastic and vocal, '', engaging in
dialogue with the speakers and each other. They were
critical in a positive manner, making suggestions which were
to the point. They were particularly appreciative of the
effort provided on their behalf and complimentary to the
staff for its support. All considered the time in the
course well spent.
