Course Report--Midcareer Course No. 52,
9 May - 11 June 1976
Introduction and Summary
1. The 52nd running of the Midcareer Course was a
smooth and successful effort. Rather than coming together
quickly as a group at =like some earlier classes, these
participants seemed to coalesce gradually but continually;
and by the end of the course, they were actively engaging in
lively dialogues with each other and the speakers. Class
participation was excellent and this, in a large measure,
helped to make the "class project" a success. While there
were some questions about the lack of a field trip, and some
disappointment, they accepted our reasons for the discon-
tinuance and approached the exercise with maturity and
provided several suggestions for making it more meaningful.
Course Objectives
2. The participants felt that the course met the
stated objectives. In most cases they thought each Directorate
was adequately covered, although a few commented that there
were no evening sessions with DDI speakers. Those partici-
pants who responded to the question about the relevancy of
topics in Phase III felt they were well-focused and timely
subjects of concern for intelligence officers. The weak
point of the course was Phase II, the Intelligence Community,

although there were several speakers who received extremely
good ratings. Class reaction to numerous vugraphs and one
or two poor speakers seemed to have had a dampening effect.
Class Composition
3. The 30 students who participated in this running
of the course represented the four Directorates. Nine were
from the Directorate of Operations, seven from the Directorate
of Intelligence, eight from the Directorate of Administration,
and six from the Directorate of Science and Technology. The
average age of the class was 38.5 years, ranging from 33 to
49. The average grade of the group was GS-13. There were
six GS-12s, nineteen GS-13s, four GS-14s, and one GS-15.
The average length of Agency service was 12.4 years with a
range of 2 to 21 years. The class member with the least
amount of Agency service brought with him prior experience
as a contract employee working on a technical collection
Several participants thought that the nomination process for
selection of attendees to the course should be tightened up.
They observed that there were one or two classmates who were
toward the end of their careers and did not seem to fit the
age category for which the course was designed. Another
class member expressed disappointment that there were no
attendees from either of the two production offices of the
DDSfT. We believe that OTR should have a more active role
in the selection process for Midcareer Course attendees. ,
Observations
4. Phase I of the Course proceeded smoothly even
though there were schedule changes, speaker substitutions
and cancellations. Due to the debate in the Senate on the
question of the Intelligence Oversight Committee, George
Cary, the Legislative Counsel, had to cancel his appearance
and could not send a substitute. We had been alerted to
25X1A
this possibilit and had a videotape of a presentation on ,rte(
the office by to a recent IWA course as a fill-in. 25X1A
DD/ORD, substituted for Donald Haas, D/ORD,
25X1A
and DD/OD&E, replaced Leslie DirksD OD E on
the day devoted to technical collection. 25X1A
DDO/SE, cancelled his scheduled session and the schedule was'

ere were no other chap es until the return to the Headquarters
area. Then, DD/IAS, spoke for George Allen,
D/IAS;, and Paul Walsh, AD/DDI, substituted for Ed Proctor,
the outgoing DDI.
5. The speakers who received the highest ratings by
the participants included
Jack Blake, the DDA; John jams the omp ro er; bill
Parmenter, I) OCI? on the Freedom of Information
Act; and LA Division.
Those who were rated lowest by the class included Fred
Janney, D/OP, and Lew Lapham, D/OPR. The latter just do not
project well as compared to the former group. In addition,
those speakers who discussed issues and problems and relied
less on vugraphs and straight organizational-type briefings
were better received. Several students noted that there
were no evening sessions scheduled for any DDI speakers, and
some felt that there was too much emphasis on the DDA during
the = segment. All participants felt that the stay at the
was worthwhile and that the evening sessions were good.
6. The Intelligence Community portion of this course
received the most critical comments from the students, and
this reaction seemed to have been generated by an overuse of
vugraphs and poor speaking abilities. There were three
25X1A substitutions
d-gr o e even scheduled speakers.
Deputy NIO for South and Southeast Asia and Africa,
25X1A subbed for George Carver,D/DCI/NIO; Robert Gallagher,
Office of National Security, Treasury Department, spoke for
Foster Collins; and George Bradley, Special Assistant to the
Assistant Administrator'for National Security/ERDA filled in
for Major General Giller at the last minute. Gallagher,
unlike his first appearance in the course, did an admirable
job as did Peter Tarnoff, Director, Office of Research and
Analysis for Western Europe, State/INR. B
25X1A invited back.
Intelligence/DIA, gave a miserable presentation. He was not
forthcoming, used an excessive number of vugraphs and did
not seem prepared. Bradley had difficulty relating the role
of ERDA in the Intelligence Community and was somewhat ill-
prepared. The class, while critical of his presentation,
25X1A recognized the difficulties he was working under and were
more tolerant of his efforts than those of
25X1A
7. Phase III dealing with world affairs went extremel
25X1A well. There was only one substitution,
Chief, CIA SALT Support Staff, and there was only

one bad presentation. That was by Ben Evans who talked
about the CIA Management Committee. His presentation was
disjointed, lacked candor, and left the class members with 4/ik A
the feeling that he would rather be somewhere else. The
students reacted strongly and were unanimous in their opinion /
'that he should not be invited back. John Stoessinger's f
session on ti.e?"conduct of foreign `policy by Dr. Kissinger
and the presentation on the Middle East by former Ambassador
Parker Hart were rated the most effective. The participants
felt that the topic selection was good and suggested that
subjects such as Law of the Sea, energy, food and population
problems be retained. They did feel that subjects such as
SALT, MBFR, and Soviet military forces could be adequately
covered in an hour rather than the hour and a half that had
been allotted to each. They also felt that if Agency per-
sonnel were going to cover problems like International
Terrorism and Narcotics Control, it should be done in Phase I
rather than Phase III. A few suggested that spouses should
have an opportunity to hear some of the speakers who discuss
outstanding issues of the times.
8. The most positive aspect of this course was the
student reaction to the "class project." As indicated
earlier, they approached the exercise with hesitation but as
mature individuals and they made it work. As a class, they
evaluated this segment higher than any field trip since the
one to Cape Canaveral in December 1974. Part of the success
may be attributed to the fact that there were more topics
for discussion to choose from. As subsequent classes engage
in this activity the topic selection will broaden and subjects
of current concern will come up. We should be flexible in
this matter and if there are ideas that the participants
would like to focus upon, they should be given the chance.
We should also give the teams more time to reflect upon the
topic of their choice and we should continue to have teams
that represent a cross section of the Agency. A few indi-
cated that it would be better for the discussion if the
members could make up their own teams and select a subject
of interest common to all the team members. However, a
majority felt that it was beneficial to be on a team with
different backgrounds because it provided more depth of
discussion, and in some cases, on topics in which they were
not as knowledgeable. Many felt that the term "class project"--
was a misnomer and should be called what it really is--a
discussion group, seminar, etc. Another good suggestion put
forward by the group dealt with the location of the sessions.
All seemed to feel that if it were held out of town (either
at 3, it would be more effective. Admittedly,
each class is different and what worked for Midcareer No. 52

 Approved For Release 2000/06/1.9?P:CIA-RDP80-005r ?A000400120001-8
might not work for Midcareer No. 53. This class liked to
talk to each other and knock heads on subjects of common
concern. They had their chance and took advantage of it.
Finally, the informal communication system is working, and
the majority of these participants were aware of the fact
that the field trip was out and the "class project" was in.
They were generally aware of the negative attitude toward
the project by the previous class but they tried it and, as
more than one member stated, "It was useful and more rewarding
than expected." We should keep this momentum going.
Problems
9. There were no major problems in the administration
of this class. There were some moments during the first two
weeks when the Course Chairman had doubts, but the basic
considerations are to be flexible and keep the class partici-
pants informed. At the very first session, they should be
informed that schedules can, and do, change and that our
speakers are interested in the course but they are busy men.
As a result;, the class members did not take it as a personal
affront that some folks had to send substitutes. They were
aware of the far-reaching changes that were taking place 25X1A
back at Headquarters. The did a reciate the fact that we
were able to reschedule and Mr. Wells. They
were appreciative of the fact that was interested 25X1A
enough in talking to the group that he asked to reschedule
his session rather than cancel it because of another commitment.
Class Reaction
10. Overall class reaction to this running of the
Course was very favorable. The participants felt that they
had a better perspective of the Agency, particularly in this
period of change. They felt that the Course met its objec-
tives. As in earlier Courses, the opportunity to discuss
issues and problems in an informal setting with senior
Agency officials and the Individual Presentations were
considered to be the highlights of the Course. There were
some suggestions that more time be allotted to the IPs. As
usual there were a few participants who thought the Course
should be shortened to four weeks, but these were offset by
those who thought i s just right but that more time
should be spent at or that the last week should be out
of town. There seemed to be more concern in this group
about management training, and a few recommended that some
management training be included during the five weeks.

11. On a scale of 1 to 7, Phase I evaluations ranged
from 4 to 7 with an average of 5.5. As stated earlier,
Phase II was the weakest segment and the average rating was
4.3 (the spread was between 3 and 6). Phase III evaluations
ranged from 3 to 7 with an average of 5.1 and the "class
project" received an evaluation of 5.0 with ratings which
spread from 2 to 7. The class gave an average evaluation of
5.6 to the Course as a whole.

MIDCAREER COURSE
The Midcareer Course was started in 1963 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 detailedlunderstanding of
the Agency, its components and issues of
current concern to Agency management.
2. Achieve a broad grasp of the other elements
of the Intelligence Community and the policy
making process.
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 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.

PHASE t--THE AGENCY
The Course opens with an examination of the organization, mission,
role, 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 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 with your classmates. This evening,
a senior officer will discuss the role of training in your
personal development program and what the Office of Training has
to offer,. Finally, those officers concerned with the Agency's
legal, legislative and media relationships 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 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 throughout the entire five weeks.
