As part of an ongoing campaign to keep training officers informed of the OTE registration system and to find new ways to make the system more responsive, Training Support Division members met with the DI Senior Training Officer and eight members of his staff on Wednesday, 2 September. A ter receiving briefings on the division, training statistics, the Training Selection Board, and secretarial training registrations; the DI representative received a "hands-on" presentation of the electronic Form 73. After some discussion, we agreed to experiment with using AIM to quickly notify the DI of the training program, starting with sending Notes to Training Officers, Special Bulletins, and possibly confirmations of student selection over the system. positive steps to eliminate administration problems with registrations in "Managing in CIA" and "Leading People in CIA." Working with the Agency Senior Training Officers, we will revalidate the "Managing" queue. Effective immediately, we will begin to build class rosters by assigning students to preferred class dates. We will provide early confirmation of students selected by the training officers. We are still working on the details of how to notify prospective students that they are not in a particular running. If this system works for the "managing" course, we will use it in the "Leading" course.

Analysis Training Branch conducted a three-day overview of the Directorate of Intelligence for the CT class from 2 - 4 September. The students responded well to the presentations. One DI-bound CT noted that he was proud to be heading to and associated with the DI after the excellent speakers. Several DO-bound students stated that they felt the overview gave them a real grasp of what the DI does a-nd.ho.wit functions. 2. After the third running of the Seminar on Assessment/Future Impact of Foreign S&T in December 1986, the course coordinator held a strategy session with the contractor, C/TIB and DDC. It was apparent that many who would benefit by the course could not attend because of its length. Secondly, the contractors examples and workshop exercises were far removed from intelligence problems. Thus, it was proposed that a one-week session be tailored to OSWRs Science and Technology Division's (STD) requirements, that the one-week session be given entirely by the contractor, that the contractor, become.. more familiar with intelligence problems by working a typical STD task showing how different forecasting methods could be utilized emphazing the strong and weak points, and lastly- that- a one-day abbreviated session be given for management. All of these proposals are materializing for the fourth running during the period 16 - 20 November 1987. Three of the contractor personnel are Agency secret cleared, STD/OSWR is funding the contractor task, the decision has been made between STD and the contractor that the task will be on strategic implications of recent and possibly future advances in superconductivity.
