AGENCY LANGUAGE STUDY
PROGRESSES
Current enrollment in internal lair
guage training course is approxi-
mately 200; enrollment in self-study
programs is approximately 100.
The Language Laboratory, 2132 I
Building, was utilized by 190 stu-
dents, during the past month, for
a total of 2300 hours in the study
of seventeen languages.
Training Officers are reminded
that when a student withdraws from
a course, it is the Office of the
Registrar/OTR which must be noti-
fied immediately, rather than the
school involved.
DOCUMENT ANALYSIS WORKSHOP
DEVELOPED FOR OCR
At the request of the Librarian,
OCR, the Reading Improvement
Branch Intelligence School, has

op basic to the writing of document

stracting documents, and discuss
the principles of Reading -Abstract-

two workshops; the first, for six
section chiefs, ran 10 hours during
a one week period; the second, for
seven analysts was given during a
two-week period, 20 hours.
Components interested in a spe-
cial presentation of this. workshop
may direct inquiries to Chief, In-

19571 NEW,, RE3IONAL-TYPE AMERICANS
ABROAD COURSES ADDED
Practical information and advice
for personnel planning to go abroad
will be made available to many more
employees next year.
The Americans Abroad courses dur-
ing the past 12 months have been
concerned only with individual coun-
25X1A6a tries, in 1957,
in addition to these country-type
courses, regional-type courses are
being offered for employees going
elsewhere in Western Europe, the Far
East, and the Middle East. (See the
Area Training Program amended sched-
ule in the July 1956 OTR Bulletin
and the "Courses, Activities, and
Programs" section in various issues~
The country-type course has been
found to be feasible only when a
sizable and steady flow of personnel
to a particular country can be
anticipated. Yet, the practical in-
doctrination thus far given for pro-
mot rapid adjustment to living in
25X1A6a has been recog-
nized throughout the Agency as a
"natural," and the demand for exten-
ding the geographic coverage of the
Americans Abroad courses has grown.
In the new regional-type courses,
of the 15 hours of scheduled course
time, only a part - 7 to 10 hours -
will be devoted to formal sessions
in this type of course. These ses-
sions will be devoted to such across-
the-board subjects as implications
of becoming foreigners, medical ad-
vice, legal implications, processing
problems, locational orientation,
strategic importance of the region
to the U.S., regional travel oppor-
tunities, regional social customs
and attitudes. -)
The balance of the course time - 5
to 8 hours - will be reserved for
oral indoctrination, given by recent
returnees from the country to which
the students are being assigned,
tailored in so far as possible to
individual student needs. In part,
this indoctrination will be supple-
mented with directed reading on the
country concerned.
It is particularly important that
you enroll two full weeks in advance
for attendance in these new regional
type courses. See your Training Of-
ficer well in advance.
STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE SCHOOL
COURSE OPEN TO CIA CIVILIAN
EMPLOYEES
The Assistant Chief of Staff, In-
telligence, Department of Army, is

ployees of the Agency selected to

Course conducted by the Strategic
Intelligence School in July 195 7 .
Qualifications for the Associate
Course parallel those for the Reg-
ular Course which is listed in your
office copy of the OTR Catalog .
These slots are independent of
those authroized for Agency reser-
vists through MPD arrangements.
Application should be submitted
on Form 136, "Request for Train-
ing at Non-CIA Facility." You may
call on exten-25X1 A9a

SPECIAL LECTURE SERIES: 10 OCTOBER TO
IN THE MAJOR LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD 1 MAY 1957
Al]. CIA personnel intares't;ed in improving their language proficiency
and area knowledge are invited to attend a series of foreign language
lectures (see Lecture Schedule below) presented Wednesdays at 1530 hours,
in room 1-82 Quarters Eye. Information regarding the series may BF-UT-
25X1A9a tamed by cang extension 2351 or 3629. You will,
of course, obtain authorization from your supervisor prior to attendance
at any one of the lectures.
Recognizing the need for increased knowledge in the language and
area fields, the Office of Training :is offering this series of lectures
to be given in the major languages of the world by CIA personnel. Topics
of particular interest, both to analysts and. personnel in operations,
have been selected. The purpose is twofold: To advance your knowledge
of foreign languages; to increase your insight into the understanding of
foreign peoples - their patterns of thought and behavior.
A special feature of the .program is the amount of attention devoted
to the theme "Understanding and Dealing With Foreign Peoples." Individual
lecturers will speak on how to understand and deal with the Russians,
the Japanese, the Latin Americans, etc. In this way, much of the "know-
how" gained by our personnel through years of experience will be trans-
mitted to you. As a result, it is hoped that in your contacts with the

The Foreign Language Proficiency Tests are for those persons who already
have some knowledge of a given language, and are designed to test how well a
person reads, writes, and speaks that language. Individuals applying for
intermediate or advanced study of a language may be required by the Office
of Training to take the proficiency test in that language in order to de-
termine just what further training will be most rewarding. The written part
of the test (covering reading and writing) requires about 3 - 1 hours and is
given in the morning. The oral part requires about 15 minutes for each per-
son and is given in the afternoon. Individuals may elect, or be required to
take tests in reading, writing, or speaking, or any combination of these cap-
abilities. All tests are administered on Wednesday. Call extension 3275,
at least one week prior to the date of a test, to arrange an appointment.
