INSTRUC TOR
TRAINING
The Office of Training has recently acquired a
set of five sound filmstrips and a text on instructor
training. The filmstrips run about 10 minutes each
and are on the following topics:
1. "Let's Look at the Learner"--Puts emphasis on
the learner and stresses the importance of
realistic objectives.
2. "Looking at Visual Aids"--An introduction to the
use of visual aids for the prospective teacher.
3. "Looking at Teaching"--Illustrates the relation-
ship of teacher and student. Covers preplanning,
motivation, testing.
4. "The Teacher as a Speaker"--Shows the hazards
of poor speaking habits, and the advantages of
good ones.
5. "Room for Learning"- -Stresses the importance
of a favorable physical environment for effective
instruction and learning.
The text, The Supervisor as an Instructor, was
written by Martin M. Broadwell, a teacher-trainer
with Southern Bell Telephone. While there are no
simple rules to apply which will automatically
guarantee success as an instructor, this book does
provide a practical guide to techniques which every
instructor can use of improve his classroom
effectiveness.
These materials are available for use by other Agency
components which need to train instructors. For
further information, call the OTR Registrar Staff,
extension 2533.
INTERAGENCY All Training Officers will be receiving the Civil
TRAINING Service Calendar of Interagency Training Programs,
PROGRAMS listing all CSC courses for the following two months.
For course descriptions and other pertinent informa-
tion, TOs should refer to the ANNUAL "Interagency
Training Programs, 11 a retention copy which is pro-

NEW A publication which should be of potential interest
PUBLICATION to anyone concerned with intelligence was published
in 1967 by the Intelligence School. It is a compilation
of representative statements by presidents of the
United States on the importance of intelligence.
The pamphlet "Presidents of the United States on
Intelligence, " which appeared first in a "For
Official Use Only" version last spring, was inspired
by the desire of ranking officials of the Agency to
have a ready source book of presidential "quotable
quotes. " Some officials also felt that such a
compilation might be of special interest to new
professional employees, particularly Career Trainees.
Accordingly, the Curator of the Historical Intelligence
Collection compiled the pamphlet. The first edition
was "For Official Use Only" because it included a
number of items not in the public domain.
As a result of demand at all levels of the Agency, the
possibility of completely declassifying the pamphlet
was explored and, after some negotiation by HIC,
accomplished with a view to making it available for
distribution to selected outsiders. The unclassified
edition has been attractively designed and illustrated
by OTR.
The pamphlet may be obtained upon request to the
Orientation and Briefing Faculty, the Intelligence
School, OTR, 1000 North Glebe Road, extension 2351.

METROPOLITAN external training is taking place within the metro-

LANGUAGE TRAINING
The following is provided to acquaint those concerned with
language training of some changes in admission procedures, to
review the alternatives and to provide some background on current
Language School (LS) approaches and philosophy.
It elm Paacea mw4
a. Policy: Whenever possible, within security, time and cover
limitations and the availability of instruction in a particular language,
the Agency Language School facility will be used. If requirements
cannot be satisfied internally, external facilities will be considered
in the following order: Other Government (e. g. , Foreign Service
Institute, Defense Language Institute), then private concerns (e. g. ,
Sanz, Berlitz, et al).
b. Centralization of Communications: Experience shows that it
is far more efficient for prospective students to deal with component
Training Officers rather than directly with either the Admissions and
Information Branch (AIB) or LS. There has been a multitude of
instances where direct contacts between the student and the LS have
resulted in serious misunderstandings or misinterpretations. In the
majority of cases the training problem will be routine enough so that
only normal paper work will be involved. If, however, a telephonic
inquiry is required (prior to acceptance in the LS), it should be directed
by the component Training Officer to Chief, AIB, extension
2896. This procedure considerably reduces confusion. Once external
training has been decided on, information can be obtained by telephone
directly from the External Training Branch, OTR, extension 3137.
c. Procedures for Internal Language Training: Form 73 will
continue to be used to request internal language training. Care should
be taken to ensure that all blocks are filled in. In addition, it is
requested that the following be included as indicated:
Block 10 - In this block, explicitly set forth the language
training goal; specify the language (including any particular
dialect desired), the level of proficiency desired at the
completion of the course (e. g. , elementary (E), intermediate
(I), high (H), native (N) ), and specify the type of skill desired,

such as "Arabic, Egyptian dialect, reading E, speaking I,
writing E. " Indicate the dates the student will be available
for training and any terminal date (for instance, estimated
overseas departure date). Time should be allowed before the
terminal date for testing. A statement such as as much as
can be taught within the period available" is not satisfactory.
Block 11 - Within the limits of security clearly state how
the language skill is to be used. As an example, "Subject is
a CT who will be assigned in as a case officer in the 25X1A
Fall of 1968" or "Subject is a Russian area analyst who should
be able to translate foreign language documents in performing
his duties" or "Subject is assigned as a reports officer in
Headquarters. "
Block 16 - Set forth Agency language training in detail.
For example:
1963 P/T French training, 6 hours per week, for 20 weeks
1965 F/T Russian training for 26 weeks
Block 17 - Indicate any aptitude or proficiency tests on record
with the component, for example:
Aug 66, Artificial Language Test - average
Chinese 9/7/66 E E E S S
French 1/24/61 H I I I I
NOTE: Except for professional linguists, language aptitude tests
are a prerequisite for internal and external language training. If
the candidate has not taken the Agency language aptitude test (FLATB
or Artificial Language Test), he should be scheduled as soon as
possible. Tests can be arranged telephonically (x3322) and are
given every Tuesday afternoon and alternate Saturday mornings
at 1000 N. Glebe Road. The test takes about 45 minutes.
Training Officers can avoid last minute testing by identifying
component personnel who have not been tested and who may
require language training, and arranging tests in advance.
Untested claimed proficiencies will be tested prior to any
training (internal or external) to aid in the measurement of
progress during training; when there has been a gap of several
years since the last proficiency test in language requested,
there will be a retest. As in the case of aptitude testing,
required proficiency tests should be completed prior to sub-
mission of the Form 73.

Block 18 - Note any Non-Agency training in foreign languages.
For example:
Latin - 2 years HS
Spanish - 4 years HS
French - 2 years College
- 1 year Monterey Language School
German - Some obtained during 3 year residency
Because of the specific linguistic requirements imposed on present
or former Career Trainees, CT status should be noted.
While the detail requested on language training for the Form 73 may
seem excessive, it will largely replace the previous system of an
interview at the Language School which was used to obtain these linguistic
details. Since this often involved several lost hours to the student in
travel time, the net saving will be considerable. The details themselves
are required to make an intelligent decision as to whether or not the LS
can satisfy the requirement and, if so, in what grouping the student
should be placed. When completed the Form 73 should be forwarded to
RS/AIB/OTR, Room 832, 1000 North Glebe Road,at least six weeks
before the desired date to begin training. The Form 73 will be processed
and necessary information added before forwarding it to LS for consid-
eration and reply. Scheduled course dates are published in the OTR
Catalogue of Courses and in the OTR Bulletin.
d. External Language Training Procedures: Once it has been
determined that internal language training is either not possible or not
appropriate, the alternative of external training arises. Requests for
external language training as usual will be accomplished on - 25X1A
and the normal procedures
followed. In each case, the various training alternatives will be
individually weighed in light of the linguistic, cover, security, time and
cost factors involved. It is critical that there be a careful statement of
training goals and dates of student availability, however, the linguistic
background furnished on the Form 73 need not be duplicated. When approved,
the student will be individually and fully briefed by OTR/ETB on all
aspects of the training. It should be noted that among the wide range of
capacities offered by the external training alternatives, virtually any
linguistic requirement can be filled.
e. Approval Process: Under the current system, approval is
accomplished as follows. First, it is anticipated that the majority of
applicants will be accepted for scheduled internal courses. When this

is the case the decision will be made prior to the four week deadline.
Every effort will be made to accept all candidates, however, there are
limitations imposed by the number of students received and their capacity
to fit into linguistically compatible groups. A study group whose
capacities or level are too disparate is neither satisfactory from the stand
point of linguistic success or morale. Acceptance, once scheduled
classes start, is usually dependent on being able to fit into an ongoing
class, which obviously reduces the chances for acceptance. Strong
motivation and hard work can to some degree replace aptitude, but
this has its limits. The LS reserves the right to cancel scheduled
classes where there are insufficient numbers of qualified students.
Students who must start before a scheduled class begins (or leave long
before it ends) or whose tenure will be subject to major interruptions
for TDY or training or whose aptitude and/or linguistic background
departs from the norm, may not be accepted. In these instances usually
external training will meet the requirement.
f. Time Factors: In cases of acceptance or rejection for training
by the Language School, a reasonable time period is necessary for the
components either to prepare for the student's absence or find other
alternative training. To permit this, the normal date of notification
of acceptance for internal training will be four weeks prior to the
scheduled starting date. Since the average processing time within OTR
is two weeks, this means the completed Form 73 should reach AIB
six weeks or more prior to the scheduled starting dates. While applica-
tions received after this will be considered, it is plain that once the
selection is made and notification of acceptances forwarded, chances
for admission of late entries are reduced. Unfortunately early
submission cannot guarantee acceptance since this involves a function
of matching employees whose linguistic patterns are compatible. Every
reasonable effort will be made to meet earlier deadlines for acceptance
notification when required, however, if this precedes the selection
process OTR's responses can only be tentative.
g. Costs: Internal training is normally provided at no cost to the
component. External language training costs will vary widely and are
normally borne by the component; an exception is that OTR will budget
for most anticipated FSI language training. To cite a few examples of
costs (as of Feb 68), the FSI charges $1061 per student for 16 weeks
full time training in world languages and $3728 for 44 weeks of intensive
"hard" languages (e. g. , Asiatic, Slavic, African, Arabic). The
Defense Language Institute tends to be a little less expensive and
occasionally if there is just one Agency student in a class where DLI
has a fixed cost, we may participate at no charge. The local private
language schools (Sanz, Berlitz) run $6 per hour and up (with 4 hours a
day considered a normal full time tutorial).

h. Aliases: Because of the security problems inherent in using
language instructors with limited clearances, the Clandestine Services
and certain of the Support Services have decided that it is desirable for
students to attend the Language School using alises. There will be
exceptions in instances where the student has previously been known to
the instructor in true name. Component Training Officers should be
aware that registered aliases may be required; these are obtained
the component in the normal manner. If an alias, suitable for this use
is not already assigned, it is suggested that it not be requested until
such time as the student is accepted at the Language School.
i. End of Course Report: At the termination of training a final
report will be prepared by the LS which will show: 1. The language
and number of hours of training given. 2. Final proficiency level
attained. This will be made part of the Agency Training Record, a
copy will be provided to the sponsoring component, and a copy filed in
the employee's 201 file.
j. Background: The LS has been engaged for some time in an effort
to maximize the efficient use of its resources and in reappraising exactly
what languages should be offered at what levels and with what frequency.
While the process will continue for some time, certain trends are
emerging. In very general terms these appear to be as follows:
1. Certain languages are in such small demand that it is
neither economical nor linguistically desirable to teach them
internally. This is particularly true where reasonable
external alternatives exist.
2. At least at the present time, the greatest need exists for
languages to be taught at the basic level.
3. The greatest part of the costs of maintaining the school
are fixed ones, therefore, the cost of teaching several people
in a class is not a great deal more than teaching only one.
Whenever possible, preference will be given to groups over
tutorials, therefore, the student who fits into a group will
more likely be accepted for internal training.
4. It is patently uneconomic to satisfy all Agency language
requirements internally; however, between internal and external
alternatives, very few requests will be unfilled within the time
limitations imposed and giving due regard to cover and security
limitations.

The Language School is and will be for some time engaged in an
effort to rationalize and improve its instructional capacities; some of
the older patterns of having many tutorials and handling large numbers
of ad hoc requests will no longer obtain. Simultaneously OTR is making
an effort to realign the admissions system to provide more rapid and
definite answers to component requests. This will entail in part
provision by consumers of more detailed information on the Form 73,
realigning and centralizing contact systems, providing more formalized
instruction.

The goal of the Language School is to provide effective instruction
to the maximum number of students in the shortest time in the
languages the Agency requires. To do this it has established schedules
for starting languages based on what experience indicates is the ideal
time and frequency for the maximum number of consumers. These
will be altered accordingly with ample notice given whenever it becomes
clear that there are either too many or too few runnings of a particular
language, where the need for a new language has risen to the point
where it should be added to the inventory, where requirements have
decreased to the point where it is no longer economically desirable
to continue a given language or changes in patterns show other starting
dates are desirable. Any changes will be only after discussion with
the principal users affected and then promptly announced. It is felt,
however, that fixed schedules provide the best planning base for
components and Training Officers. Periodically, surveys of anticipated
input will be made for long range planning purposes. When this occurs,
it is vital to the success of the survey that the responses be as realistic
as possible. Time consumed in recruiting and hiring linguists, then
getting them security cleared,requires considerable lead time from
indications of need to having a trained instructor available and function-
ing. In those cases where the Language School provides the basic
language skill and advanced study is provided elsewhere (e. g. , FSI or
DLI), schedules will be tailored to permit completion of the course plus,
where applicable, sufficient time to process for overseas. At the

present time full time study of World languages (German, French,
Spanish, Portugese, and Italian) is scheduled to begin every two months;
all others will start semi-annually. There are some indications that
the two month interval is too frequent to provide sufficient input to
form classes large enough to be economically justified; this periodicity
is being re-evaluated.
The rationale for full time trainees applies equally to part time
trainees. Where the available hours, goals or background are incompa-
tible with the majority of the other students, tutorials cannot normally
be arranged.
It should be obvious from the foregoing that preplanning (where
possible) pays dividends to both the component and the LS. One of the
main purposes of the selection process being four weeks prior to the
scheduled starting dates is to permit reasonable alternatives being
made available in sufficient time to meet the need.

The following information concerning the Language School
laboratories is extracted from the July-August 1967 OTR Bulletin.
In support of its instructional effort, the Language
School operates two language laboratories, one at
Headquarters and one at Language
students- -and any Agency personnel wishing to engage
in independent study or refresher exercises--may avail
themselves of equipment designed to enhance language
training. This includes instructional tape recordings
in sixty different languages and tape recordings of current
Voice of America broadcasts in sixteen different languages.
The Headquarters laboratory is open from 7:30 a. m. to
6:00 p.m. every workday and the
laboratory from 8:30 a. m. to 5:30 p.m. The School
maintains a library of 3, 500 language and area books for
the ordinary use of staff and students. It also supplies
tape recordings and textual materials to support language
training activities in the field. "
It should also be noted that a technician is on duty at all times
in the laboratories to instruct students in the use of the equipment.
There is a minimum of formality required to gain access to these
facilities.

PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION
06- ?l e- S~ee% Pwg4atd i See - Deue mett
Recent articles in the OTR Bulletin have described the use of
programmed instruction, or Program Assisted Instruction, in schools
and other organized training courses. Another important use of this
method of instruction is for self-development. Off-the-shelf programs,
which are programs prepared by commercial firms for general consumer
purchase, or developed by Government agencies or private firms for
their own use and then made available to others, may be used for this
purpose. Programmed instruction is designed to enable the student to
study on his own--it presents a sequence of instructional material,
requires a response from the learner, gives immediate knowledge of
the correctness of the response, and permits the learner to proceed at
his own pace.
A large number and variety of programs are available off-the-shelf
from commerical publishers, private firms, and some Government
agencies. For instance, a Catalog of Programmed Instructional Material
has been published by the Bureau of Naval Personnel. It includes infor-
mation regarding all instructional units which have been programmed by
the Navy and which will be made available to all training activities of the
Navy and other military services. A total of 380 programs are listed,
including such subjects as electronic warfare, air traffic control,
electricity, and photography. Average time required for completion of
the programs ranges from 12 minutes for a unit on "Security Regulations"
To illustrate the kind of programs available from commercial
publishers and private firms, the following list is made up of programs
selected from Programmed Learning: A Bibliography of Programs and
Presentation Devices, by Carl H. Hendershot.

NON-AGENCY TRAINING
This section of the OTR Bulletin includes information on selected
non-CIA courses or programs related to the professional develop-
ment of Agency employees. Attendance may be sponsored by the
Agency provided participation can be linked directly to the employee's
assignment. Agency sponsorship must be approved through the
office, those for non-overt employees are sent to CCS/Ops Serv/DDP
first, then to the Registrar. Notification by the Registrar of approval
of the application is required before registration procedures are
initiated to avoid delay and requests for further information. It is
critical that all applicable blocks and approving signatures be obtained.
Item 30 is particularly significant in this regard; it is critical that
this block contain a concise statement of objective and clear statement
relating this objective to the employee's job requirement. Whenever
possible objectives should indicate precisely what capability will be
altered or enhanced at the completion of the course. For example,
a request for language training might read:
for each course.
pplications of overt employees are sent directly to the Registrar's
"At termination of training employee should be able to
translate (at the intermediate level) Chinese language
newspapers. "
A request for maintenance training might read:
"At the end of the program the employee should be able
without supervision and with normally available tools
to accomplish first echelon maintenance on the KZL-27,
using the KZL-27 Maintenance Manual.
For additional information on the courses in this section or on other
external training, call AIB/OTR, extension 2896. On matters of
registration, call ETB/OTR, extension 3137. Where academic
training is involved or would be germane, a statement covering the
applicant's academic background and applicable specialization
(e. g. BA - History) is requested.

Non-Agency Training (cont. )
If an employee desires to attend a self-s onsored course or
program, he is required b to send a
written request for approval through his office to the Director
of Security.
Training Officers whose components have personnel assigned
outside Washington in the Continental U. S. should bear in mind
the possibilities of external training in their locality. Specifically
this would include Department of Defense Courses, Civil Service
Regional facilities, private concerns, and academic institutions.
Training requirements can often be satisfied in place rather
than postponing the problem for a Headquarters assignment.

EXECUTIVE ORIENTATION IN PPBS
This three-day program has been cancelled and replaced by "Introduction
to Planning - Programming - Budgeting" described below.
INTRODUCTION TO PLANNING-PROGRAMMING-BUDGETING
These courses replace but are similar to the former three-week course
Planning, Programming, Budgeting Seminar. To meet existing training
requirements new introductory courses are being offered. These will be
one-week programs held in residence at the Adult Education Center at
the University of Maryland, replacing certain of the three-week Seminars
previously scheduled there and replacing the 13 - 15 March Executive
Orientation in PPBS. Individual programs in this series will focus on
specified areas of activities such as General Management (Regulatory,
Administrative, etc. ); Natural Resources (Allocation of Water, Forests,
Agriculture, etc. ); Human Resources (Labor, Manpower, OEO, etc. );
and International Programs (encompasses the three foregoing subjects
in determining the justification for expenditures in international programs. )
Scientific and economic programs will be subjects of future courses.
The purpose of these introductory courses will be to provide the participant
with an overall understanding of the concepts, economic foundations,
structure, and analytic techniques of PPB.
The cost of each one-week course is $160. Students are required to live
