5. On 18 September, several branch-chiefs and translators from the DO
and FBIS joined members of OTE's Language Training Division and the
Communication Training Branch to discuss how best to provide training for
foreign language translators. The members of this group proposed that a
convention of foreign language translators throughout the Intelligence

would be open to those who translate or those who use intelligence
translations and would include sessions on consumer expectations and the
methodology of intelligence translation.
6. OTE's Information Systems Training Division (ISTD) is developing
training on aspects of the corporate database. Specifically, ISM will
develop and present training on the Office of Finance BARS system and the
Office of Logistics Class system. Both of these are IDMS-based systems
that use an extensive amount of commercially acquired software. It is
anticipated that ISTD will provide training on other aspects of the
corporate database in the future.

of the prototype listening comprehension test in Dutch was also
carried out. Languages in which reading tests were field tested
included Chinese (Mandarin), Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Portuguese,

visited Brigham Young University's (BYU)
Humanities Research Center in Provo, Utah. There they discussed
with Center's testing expert (Prof. Jerry Larson) and its computer
programmer (Kim Smith) how to adapt Larson's computer-adaptive
placement test to test ILR reading proficiency. F-1
LTD has already purchased the rights to use the shell (the
non-language-specific parts of his program) in two languages.
Further discussion centered on how to adapt the shell and
particularly on how to arrange statistically meaningful field
testing of new items by computer. This latter point was new to the
BYU experts, but a way has been found. LTD will now proceed to
acquire their expertise by Individual Services Contract. F-1
Computer-adaptive testing shortens test taking time and will
markedly reduce the need for the cumbersome appproach used to field

21 September with a presentation on "The Soviet Union and Eastern Europe"
by Professor Karen Dawisha (University of Maryland). Professor Dawisha
focused on the impact of Gorbachev's "new thinking" on Soviet-East
European relations, noting that Moscow was moving from rhetoric to
practical steps in reforming the ties among these countries. She pointed
to the seriousness of two other challenges: popular pressures and
impending succession crises.
3. The fall running of the USSR Country Survey Course began
Tuesday, 15 September. Twenty-one students pre d, representing
NPIC (13), SOVA (4), CPAS (3), and OGI (1).

gave the presentation on psychological and physiological effects of drug
addiction. This change facilitated scheduling and eliminated the cost of
an outside speaker.
