Approved For Release 2000 CIA-RDP80-08.536A000400070001-4 MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Training THROUGH Chief, Intelligence Institute SUBJECT Course Report - Midcareer Course No. 47, 11 May - 13 June 1975 1. Midcareer Course No. 47 was considered by both class and staff to have been a very successful running overall. The members came together as a group moderately 25X1A well during the two weeks at ~ but they were not as questioning a class as other recent Midcareerists have been. This reticence to ask probing questions changed noticeably during Phase III and by the last week some of the discussion sessions with the speakers were quite animated. 2. Phase III on World Affairs was rated highest by the class, followed closely by Phase I on the Agency. Phase II on the Intelligence Community received the lowest marks, primarily due to several speakers who did not project well. The field trip, while not receiving the highest marks, was a success in meeting its primary objective. The class met with the Director, three of the Deputy Directors (including Mr. Duckett for the first time in four runnings), and the ADDI. The class generally felt that the course had met both its stated objectives and the members' own personal objectives. Statistics 3. The 30 members of Course 47 represented the four Directorates. Ten were from the Operations Directorate, seven from the Intelligence Directorate, seven from the Directorate of Administration, and six from the Directorate of Science and Technology. The average age of the class was 37.3 years with a range of 30 to 47. The average grade was 12.8, with 11 GS-12's, 14 GS-13's, and 5 GS-14's. The average length of service was 12.2 years with a range of 3 to 25 years.

Major changes in this running consisted of having General Wilson, D/DCI/IC, as the first speaker at five new speakers in Phase III, and the first 25X1A field trip to Long Island in many years. The ratings of the new speakers ranged from poor to outstanding; this same range applied to speakers who have appeared previously. The visits to Brookhaven Lab and Grumman Aerospace were generally considered successful. 5. A majority of the class felt that the team 25X1A exercises on the first day at = helped both to "break the ice" and to surface some mutually felt problem areas. General Wilson's discussion of the Community the first evening got the formal presentation part of the schedule off to a good start. The rest of Phase I proceeded smoothly, with five substitute speakers (out of a total of 42) and one cancellation (Sayre Stevens). One inno- vation in this runnin occurred when Messrs. Blake and McMahon were both at on the same evening--Mr. Blake 25X1A to meet with our Midcareerists and Mr. McMahon with the Office Management Course. After meeting separately with 25X1A these rou s a joint uestion-and-answer session was held Speakers who rated highest with 25X1A t s r t is ase included Fred Janney, Tom Holmes, Zeke Zelimer, Tom Yale, Paul Walsh and Carl Duckett. 25X1A 25X1A 6. Phase II's three days went precisel according to schedule. Speakers rated highest were from the FBI and Colonel Granger from the NSC Staff. 7. The two weeks of Phase III consisted of fourteen speakers and the 2 1/2 day field trip.

The field trip to Brookhaven National Laboratory and Grumman Aerospace Corporation went quite well. An overwhelming majority of the class felt that the visits had met the primary objective. The briefings and tours were generally well done, interesting and informative. It was quite obvious that, particularly at Grumman, the people involved had gone out of their way to make the visit a success. It was interesting that the general manager of the Grumman production plants at Calverton, in his welcoming remarks, expressed his sincere affinity for the Agency and his regret at the spate of current publicity. Problems 9. No major problems were encountered during this running. Summary of Class Reaction 10. The overall reaction of the class to the Course was highly favorable. All members pointed to the asso- ciation with peers as probably the biggest single benefit. Most were also appreciative of the opportunity to discuss 25X1A issues with the speakers, particularly during the first two weeks at ~ 11. On a scale of 1 to 7, Phase I evaluations ranged from 4 to 6 with an average of 5.3. Phase II evaluations ranged from 3 to 6 with an average of 4.6 and the field trip evaluations ranged from 2 to 6 with an average of 4.9, considerably higher than last time. As noted above, Phase III received the highest evaluations, ranging from 4 to 7 with an average of 5.6. 25X1A Approved For Release 20 "6I : CIA-RDP80-00536A000400070001-4 1 Approved Fo.,;Release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP8 ?fl0536A000400070001-4 Approved For Release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP80-00536A000400070001-4 Approved For-release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP8O O536A000400070001-4 Approved For Release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP80-00536A000400070001-4 25X1A Approved For Release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP80-00536A000400070001-4 Next 3 Page(s) In Document Exempt Approved For Release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP80-00536A000400070001-4 S-E-C-R-E-T ,Approved.

The Course has become well-known throughout the Agency as an important aspect of career development as well as a fcrum for the exchange of views between senior managers from many com- ponents of CIA and course participants. COURSE OBJECTIVES Midcareer Course ;members are expected to: 1. Gain a broad understanding of the Agency as a whole, the directorates and components other than their own, and of,issues of current concern to Agency management. 2. Increase their knowledge of the other elements of the Intelligence Community and the policy making process. 3. Obtain insight into national and inter- national developments of significance that bear on the U.S. foreign intelligence effort. PHASES The Midcareer Course is divided into three phases which in succession emphasize each of the three objectives. You should, however, keep in mind that the range of subject matter covered in each of the phases contributes to the attainment of all three objectives.

Most of you have spent your careers in one Directorate, some in one office or division, and even a few in one branch; therefore, our objective in this Phase is to open up the Agency to your critical inspection, to broaden your perspectives on the operations of other offices and Directorates, and to offer you new insights into how your job relates to,the Larger picture.of the intelligence process. 0845-0900 Course Administration Block I--Mutual Perceptions: The Agency and Us In the first Block of this Phase you will consider how you, as Midcareerists; see yourselves as employees and how you view the Agency. You will have an opportunity to discuss mutual problems and to suggest solutions. The role of the Intelligence Community Staff will be discussed, as will the Agency's legal and media relationships. Finally, those officers primarily concerned with personnel and security matters will discuss their perceptions of the problems of people in the Agency. 0910-1200 Team Exercise: Midcareerist Obstacles This team exercise is designed to bring our collective thoughts, as a class, to bear on problems that we have individually perceived at one time or another. We want to identify and clarify obstacles that intrude upon individual career development or on the realization of Agency missions. We will then seek to formulate or suggest ways of overcoming them. The exercise should surface and bring into focus shared individual concerns and concerns about the Agency that we may explore through- out the entire five weeks. 25X1A Approved For Release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP8O-00536AO00400070001-4 S-.E-C-:R-E-T S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP80-00 6A000400070001-4 MONDAY, 12 May; ;: 9 7 5 1300-1500 Team Reports Dinner 1900-2100 Evening.
