It was striking (albeit not too surprising) how strongly the
faculty perceptions were colored by events in. Central America over
the past few years. The biggest worry of more than one senior
Harvard professor was that the Agency was making its own policy, or
unilaterally enunciating the Administration's policy, in
congressional hearings on covert action. These critics were largely
mollified when they finally realized that the State Department is
represented at all such hearings.

1. The Training Support Division received 250 requests for training
at non-Agency facilities during the week of 31 October-4 November 1988.
During the same period, TSD sent 437 student "instant confirmation" notes
for OTE courses and confirmed 22 courses.
2. The External Training Branch is joining the electronic age. On
31 October, ETB started to give training officers throughout the Agency
OTE approval numbers for requested training via AIM. In only those
offices where the needed equipment does not exist, the training officers
are notified by telephone. So far, it seems to be working and the
"telephone tag" that used to take place has been cut considerably.
3. ETB has instituted a monthly listing to TOs to alert them of any
training that was completed the previous month. This monthly
notification is already beginning to help cut down on delinquent receipt
of completion evidence from students.

The STO's were given a briefing paper and critiques of the Nuclear Threat
