SUBJECT Course Report - Midcareer Course No. 48,
7 September -- 10 October 1975
1. Midcareer Course No. 48, in the opinion of the
class and staff, was considered to be a successful running
of the course. The participants came together as a group 25X1A
very early in the two weeks at the
and this attitude remained throughout the five
weeks. This situation promoted an inquisitiveness and
questioning of each other but they were not as probing
of the speakers as in previous courses. In fact, this
lack of questioning of the speakers led the staff to
wonder whether the class as a whole was lacking in intel-
lectual curiosity about things which were not directly
related to their jobs.
2. Phases I and II were rated highest by the class
followed by Phase III and the field trip. The high marks
for the phases dealing with the Agency and the Intelligence
Community probably reflect the interest and concern about
the inquiries into the problems of intelligence currently
being conducted by Congress. The low marks for the field
trip probably reflect the difficulty in relating the
facilities visited to intelligence or the class members'
jobs. The class was not able to meet with the Director
due to the many demands on his time and the DDCI had to
cancel his scheduled session at the close of the course.,
The class did meet with three of the Deputy Directors
(Messrs. Blake, Duckett and Nelson) and the ADDI and they
all received high marks for their efforts. The class felt
that the course met its stated objectives but they were
less clear about how it met their own personal objectives.

Statistics
3. The nominee from the DCI's area cancelled out
of the course at the last minute so that there were only
29 members in Midcareer Course No. 48. They represented
all four Directorates: nine were from Operations, seven
from Administration, seven from Intelligence and six from
the Directorate of Science and Technology. The average
age of the class was 36.7 years ranging between 30 and 45.
The average grade of the class was 13 with one GS-11, eight
GS-121s, twelve GS-131s, and nine GS-14's. The average
length of service was 11.6 years with a range between five
and nineteen years.
II
Major Changes
4. Major changes in this running consisted of
scheduling all components of the DDA as a block rather
than scattered throughout Phase I and scheduling sessions
on the USSR and China targets in Phase III following pre-
sentations by academicians. Student reaction to the first
change was non--exi.8-tant'but strong with regard to the
second change. All felt that a discussion of the USSR
and China targets would be more relevant in the first
phase ate along with the other DDO speakers. The students
had a difficult time making the transition from a consid-
eration of the two areas by academicians and then by Agency
speakers.
5. Phase I proceeded smoothly despite nine sub-
stitutes out of 42 scheduled speakers. Four scheduled
sessions in Phase I were cancelled due to press of business
or weather but the staff was able to reschedule two sessions
for later times in the course. The "Obstacles Exercise"
served to get the class participants interacting with each
other and got the formal presentations off to
a good start on t e first evening. There were several
speakers in this running who were new to the course or had
not appeared recently.

Adams case and Adams' charges leveled at the Intelligence
Community. Speakers who received the highest marks during
Phase I included Bill Parmenter, , Chuck 25X1A
Omego Ware and Zeke Zeilmer.
6. Phase II proceeded as scheduled with no changes.
General Wilson, D/DCI/IC, made the initial presentation on
the Community and, as usual, was extremely well received.
General :Daniel Graham, Director, DIA, spoke to the course
for the first time in that capacity and his appearance was
most appreciated by the class. His presentation received
mixed reactions, however, for many felt that he was not
forthcoming or candid in his remarks. Two new speakers
were from the IC Staff and Robert Baraz from
State INR. Class reaction to the latter was not good but
the staff feels that he covered his subject well and deserves
another hearing. The least effective speaker was Karl
from NSA who used too many slides and concentrated
on t e history of his organization. General Wilson and
FBI, were rated the most effective. Sessions
wit Mr. Blake and Mr. Duckett were held in this phase and
they were both extremely well received for their candid
and forthright discussions on Agency problems.
7. Phase III consisted of 18 speakers and the field
tri . Five of the eighteen speakers were new and included
OSR; Joseph Gustaferro Office of Energy --~~"
rograms; Carl Hemmer, AID; NIO/Western Europe;
and Herbert Spielman, State/ ice o Environmental Affairs.
The class gave very low ratings to Gustaferro and Spielman
but the staff feels that despite Spielman's deliberate and
slow delivery he should be invited back because his sub-
stantive presentation was well done. Carl Hemmer's pre-
sentation on population was very effective and he should
be invited back again. Andrew Pierre made a very poor
appearance with a disjointed presentation and probably

8. The field trip to Columbus, Ohio, where the class
visited Battelle Memorial Institute and Rockwell Inter-
national went fairly well. The majority of the class felt
that the trip met its objectives although there were some
that had trouble relating the visits to problems of general
intelligence interest. Both facilities did very well in
organizing the tours for their respective days and the
speakers did well as a whole. The Rockwell people were
obviously well prepared and the plant tour was well done
although the lack of activity on the production lines was
perhaps a major disappointment to the class. The tour at
Battelle received mixed reactions.
Problems
9. The last minute cancellation of the nominee from
the DCI's area prevented the staff from getting an alternate
from another Directorate. In addition, a few of the partic-
ipants for the
field trip. This appears to be a recurring problem and 25X1A

out
Summary of Class Reaction
10. The overall student evaluations, without exception,
were favorable. Exposure to class members from other
Directorates was invaluable and the informal student pre-
sentations were to the majority a key part of the course.
Most were appreciative of the chance to discuss major
problems with the speakers, particularly those in the Agency
and the Intelligence Community.
11. On a scale of 1 to 7 Phase I evaluations ranged
from 4 to 7 with an average of 5.0. Phase II evaluations
ranged from 4 to 6 with an average of 5.0 and the field

MIDCAREER COURSE
The Midcareer Course was started in 1.963 to provide
an opportunity for promising, middle-level officers to
broaden their professional horizons. The Course has
become well-known throughout the Agency as an important
aspect of career development as well as a forum 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 fairly detailed understanding of
the Agency, its components and issues of
current concern to Agency management.
2.
Achieve a broad grasp of the other
of the Intelligence Community and
making process.
elements
the policy
3.
Obtain insight into selected national and
international developments that bear on
the U.S. foreign intelligence effort.
PHASES
The Midcareer Course is divided into three phases
which in succession emphasize each of tie three objectives.
You should, however, keep in mind that the range of subject
matter covered in each of the phases ccntributes to the
attainment of all three objectives.
