MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Training
SUBJECT Course Report - Midcareer Course No. 50,
25 January - 27 February 1976
1. The fiftieth running of the Midcareer Course, in
the opinion of the class and staff was a successful effort.
The participants developed an "esprit de corps" early in
the first week and this attitude permeated the class-
room and non-classroom activities throughout the five weeks.
There was an active exchange of ideas between class members
and speakers the entire time.
2. Phase I was rated highest by the class followed
by Phase II and Phase III. There was no major reaction by
the class to the elimination of the field trip. The high-
light of the course was the opportunity to meet with the
new Director. Mr. Bush met the class on the final day and
spent almost thirty minutes discussing his reaction to his
new assignment and plans for implementing the new Executive
Order concerning the Foreign Intelligence Community which
had been issued the previous week. While there was no time
for a question and answer session with the Director the class
was impressed by Mr Bush and appreciative of his effort.
Each of the Deputy Directors met with the class during the
course. Mr. Blake met with the group in an informal session
25X1A on the last morning and it was extremely well received
by the class. Both ire R&T and the DDT talked to the class
after the Executive Order had been issued and were able to
provide insights and reaction to that document. The class
participants felt that the course had met its stated objectives.
3. The thirty students who completed the course repre-
sented all four Directorates. Ten were from the Operations
Directorate, seven from the Directorate of Administration,
seven from the Intelligence Directorate, and six were from
the Directorate of Science and Technology. The average age
of the class was 37.4 years, ranging from 31 to 48. The

 Approved For Release 2000/06/01 : CIA-RDP80-00r 6A000400100001-0
average grade of the class was GS-13. There were seven
GS-12s, sixteen GS-13s, and seven GS-14s. The average
length of service was 11.8 years with a range of two to
twenty-three years. There were no minority group members
and there were no women participants; one woman was nomi-
nated but withdrew before the course began.
Major Changes
4. The major change in this running was the elimi-
nation of the field trip due partly to poor student reaction
to recent field trips and partly to efforts to economize.
In place of the trip a two day class project was initiated
which consisted of six teams discussing and then presenting,
in turn to the class, the results of their deliberations on
selected topics of intelligence interest covered during the
course. The staff feels that this new exercise went very
well and student reaction was less negative than anticipated.
There were several valid suggestions by the students for
improving this activity and further experimentation will take
place in future runnings of the course.
5. Phase I went along smoothly despite bad weather
and the flu. There were nine substitutions out of 39
scheduled speakers or panel members but no sessions were 25X1A
cancelled or had to be rescheduled. The use of name tags
with component designators on Sunday at the - Open
House and introductory session helped to break the ice and
the team exercise on the first day got the class interacting
with each. other. The MAG Panel on the first evening again
received poor reviews and perhaps should be replaced by a
single speaker. The transitory nature of MAG membership
apparently prohibits long-range continuity and class members 25X1A
felt that they did not get a clear picture of MAG activities
or reasons for covering certain issues. Speakers appearing 25X1A
for the first time were Deputy Assistant to
the Director subbing for An us Thuermer; substituting 25X1A
for C/CGAS/DDI; and SR who took the place of
D/OSR. All did well although relied heavily on vugraphs 25X1A
to the detriment of his presentation. Along this same line,
the class was critical of the DDS&T decision, in reaction to
comments by previous classes, to limit its speakers to five
vugraphs per presentation. Several comments were made by this
class that the S&T speakers were good but that their sessions
would have been better with more visual aids to illustrate
complex technical problems. SDeakers in this -phase who were
rated most effective were

6. Phase II proceeded smoothly although there were 25X1A
three substitutions for 14 scheduled s eakers. In fact, one
was a substitute for a substitut Deputy 25X1A
NIO for Western Europe replaced NIO for Western
Europe, who was to substitute for George Carver, D/DCI/NIO.
There were three new speakers in this phase - Roger Kirk, 25X1A
DD/INR/State; General Edward Giller, Deput Assistant Admin-
istrator for National Security/ERDA; and Acting
Director of Estimates/DIA. Kirk an calid mirably 25X1A
but who was substituting for Acting
Director of DIA, was not effective. He was not forthcoming 25X1A
and seemed to be on the defensive. Colonel Gran.rer, NSC
Staff; General Wilson, D/DCI/IC; and Deputy 25X1A
Chief, DDO were rated highest in this phase. Several
class members felt that some speakers were even more candid 25X1A
than some of the s eakers in Phase I. The class criticized
the use of in this segment as the speaker for the
SIGINT community. They felt that he should have been in 25X1A
Phase I with other Agency participants and that a speaker
from NSA should have been heard. Although some of the speakers
were not entirely effective the class generally felt that the
phase itself was balanced and useful.
7. The nine days of Phase III included 17 scheduled
speakers, a panel from the Center for the Study of Intelligence,
a tour of the CIA Operations Center, and two days devoted to
the class project. There were two substitute speakers and
one cancellation. Oscar V. Armstrong from the State Department
was to have spoken on China in World Affairs but had to cancel
due to the press of business and could not provide a sub-
stitute. Previous courses had commented on the lack of a
speaker from the news media so this class had an opportunity
to hear Meg Greenfield, Deputy Editorial Page Editor of the
Washington Post. It turned out to be lively two-hour question
and answer session with both sides getting a better insight
into the issues and feelings involved. Robert Cornell,
International Trade Commission, gave an excellent presentation
on Multinational Corporations and their impact on foreign
economic affairs. He should be invited back again and given 25X1A
more time for this subject. also did an out-
standing job in discussing the political turmoil in Western
Europe and its impact on the U.S. Other speakers who received
high marks were former ambassador Parker Hart on the Middle
East; 25X1A

25X1A
OGCR, on Law of the Sea; and Richard Scarnmon,
Director, Elections Research Center, who focused on the
upcoming elections. In general, most class participants
felt that this phase met the objectives by focusing on
future stimuli to foreign relations that would in time
bear on questions of intelligence interest. They were
particularly appreciative of the opportunity to hear
speakers from outside the Agency and their varying views
on subjects of current interest.
8. As indicated above, class and staff reaction to
the "Midcareer Class Project" was better than expected.
There were some who felt that the time was wasted and could
be better utilized by having more speakers but those who
commented positively felt that the exchange of ideas was
good. The majority felt that more time should have been
allowed for preparation and several felt that a resource
leader familiar with the topic under discussion would be
helpful in providing substance and direction. The class
felt that it would be more to the point if they could select
their own topics for discussion and do their own grouping.
This may be feasible within limits if the class jells during
the first week. Further refinements to this exercise can
be made that will make it a useful and purposeful part of
the course.
Problems
9. No major problems were encountered during the
running of this class.
Summary of Class Reaction
10. Class reaction to the course was very favorable.
The personal relationships developed during the class and
the opportunity to discuss problems with management were
considered to be the highlights of the five weeks. Several
suggestions were made that the time for Individual Pre-
sentations should be increased. The IPs are considered by
the class participants as an especially meaningful part of
the course. Several participants mentioned that the dis-
cussion engendered during the course helped to break down
barriers between the Directorates and left them with a
feeling that they were more a part of the Agency rather
than an individual component. The class members were partic-
ularly pleased that the DDCI, the DDA and the DDI all atterrd
the class reception in the Executive Dining Room. This
exceeded attendance by management in previous classes.

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 2 to 7 (a greater spread than the previous
course) with an average of 4.9 and Phase III evaluations
ranged between 4 and 7 with an average of 4.8. The overall
evaluation of the course was S.S. Despite the elimination
of the field trip these student evaluations were higher than
the previous two classes.

SUBJECT: DCI Remarks to Midcareer Class No. 50, 27 February 1976
1. Mr. Bush's remarks were very informal. He began
STATINTL
2. Mr. Bush stated that he does not profess to have
an in-depth knowledge of intelligence but does know the
intelligence business from the consumer standpoint.while
being an Ambassador in the United Nations and his time
in Peking. He stated that this would be to his advantage.
3. He also stated that he feels extremely swamped
by scheduling, but hopes that it will slacken off in
the Spring. Mr. Bush felt that the Executive Order issued
by the President this month is the first real opportunity
since 1947 to make substantive changes within the Agency
and the Community, especially in the resources area. This
order certainly offers a great opportunity for the Intelli-
gence Community to better itself. He said that he was
reminded that when he was talking to "Meet the Press",
CBS or the New York Times their only questions were con-
cerned about whether t eir sources were going to dry up or
not, not what was the pulse of the Central Intelligence
Agency or whether the new Executive Order would improve
our intelligence.' Mr. Bush said that he felt that eventually
attention would turn to the substantive portion of intelli-
gence.
4. Mr. Bush said that he was extremely impressed by
the quality of the people in CIA and said that he was
troubled a little by the bureaucracy in the Agency. What
we need, he said, was a cross fertilization of information

 Approved For Re 2000/06/01 CIA-RDP80-0000400100001-0
across barriers. In other words, he-said he was concerned
about how ideas got acted upon. If an individual has an
idea, how many layers of bureaucracy does the employee
have to go through.
5. Mr. Bush said that he would probably move the
Intelligence Community Staff out of the Headquarters area.
He said that if anyone on that staff took the job because
of the good parking, he was going to be disappointed.
6. The Director said that we will have two deputies
and that one will be confirmed by the Senate, the Intelli-
gence Community Staff Deputy will not be Senate confirmed.
Mr. Bush said that he will not assign away his CIA relation-
ship even though there may be an administrative second
deputy.. Mr. Bush will still run the morning meetings and
will be extremely close to the Agency and its activities.
7. -Mr. Bush said that we must have much, much more
contact with the Congress, and viewed the Congress as a
legitimate consumer of intelligence. Concerning the
leaks, Mr. Bush said that if Congress cannot handle the
leaks themselves, then the intelligence source will dry
up. Congress will have to be made aware of this.
8. Mr. Bush said that unfortunately he will have to
reinvent the USIB structure, he said that he was sure that
the only reason that the White House abolished the USIB
.was that it did not fit neatly on an organization chart.
Nevertheless, there is a need for the Board or something
similar to it.
9. Mr. Bush spent about 25 minutes with the class
and was extremely well received. The Director was also
obviously pleased by the good reception he received.

PHASE 1--THE AGENCY
The Course opens with an examination of the organization, mission,
role ,9 and functions of the Central Intelligence Agency. 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 officee
and Directorateo, 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
blidcareerists, see yourselves as employees and how you view the
Agency. You will have an opportunity to discuss mutual problems
and to suggest solutions with your classmates and you will also
have an opportunity to discuss management problems with a panel
from the Management Advisory Group. Finally, those officers
concerned with the Agency's legal, legislative and media relation-
ships will discuss their perceptions of the problems that face
the Agency today.
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 develop-
ment 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
throughout the entire five weeks.
