MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Training
SUBJECT : Training Films
1. Attached are some comments, somewhat informal and already
given to you in part orally, on certain films in use in the Office of
Training. With regard to the four-part film on the DDI and the intelli-
gence process and the film "Resume," I have given my views and
recommendations orally to the head of your Intelligence School and to
the head of the Orientation and Briefing faculty. I am not, however,
giving this memorandum any distribution within OTR except to you.
a. Use of the four-part film on the DDI and the intelligence
process be discontinued, since the film is very much out of date
on organizational structure and, more important, gives a mis-
leading picture of how the DDI operates and intelligence is
produced;
b. use of the film "Resume" be discontinued, largely for the
reasons given in a. above but also because I question the value
in today's world of the clippings from old operational training
films; and
c. the film "The Academy Anonymous" not be used, as I
understand was intended, for high-level non-Agency audiences
unless the present sound-track commentary be changed to delete
what seem to me unrealistic statements.

 MEMORANDUM FOR: M'? F iardson
The attached memo on certain training films
was somewhat long in the typing--but I believe
the comments remain valid....
I'm happy to note that the OBF did delete the
DIE film parts from the most recent I.O. course,
and I understand do not intend to use those
particular parts in future 1.0. courses or in
the CT orientation.
