SUBJECT: JOT Program - Internal Defense Training
Progress Report
DATE: 6 July 1964
SIC proposes the following additions to its JOT pro-,
gram in order to provide more intensified Internal Defense
coverage:
1. An introductory presentation concerned with the
major factors of instability and potential insurgency
with which the Internal Defense program is trying to cope
and which Communists are attempting to exploit. This will
attempt to describe, for example, how a particular country
might be placed on the "critical" list. It has been
scheduled for the first day of our course in order to
provide a better context for what follows.
2. A series of analytical and tactical problems -
approached from the viewpoint of Communist objectives -
which will serve to broaden the territorial base of our 25X6
25X6 present course. We now have problems involving
We propose to add , and 25X6
25X6 dor The procedure will be as follows. The c ss will
be divided into four sections - representing cadres from
the CPs of and the potential
CP cadre in M. They will be provided with background
notes on each of these countries - describing the general
situation. They will also be provided with selected CP
documents outlining the program of action for each country.
They will be required to make an assessment of the validity
of the current line and to propose tactical changes. In
order for the entire class to benefit from each of the
cadre discussions there will then be convened a general
meeting at the Headquarters of the World Marxist Review
in Prague (standard prodecure during the past few years)
at which a reporter from each cadre will present conclu-
sions concerning his own country. Each-of these presen-
tations will be subjected to questioning by a representa-
tive of the CPSU as the report is delivered - with the

purpose of assuring that any actical devia-
tions are queried and., if possible, corrected.
3. Finally, a representative of the CP M will 25X6
appear at this meeting with an urgent request for the
group to provide tactical guidance to his party in its
current difficult situation. Each student will then be
provided with background reading on the situation in
25X6 - including again CP political documents, and will
be asked to' `make tactical recommendations. These will. be
discussed at, a second general meeting, chaired by the
representative, again monitored by the CPSU official
to assure adherence to the proper line of policy.
4. We hope through these problems to achieve an
additional understanding of the factors at work in these
countries and better comprehension of the various and
quite different tactical problems confronting both the
CPSU and CPs at the national level.
