suBJECr: Weekly Activity Report #10
8 - 14 March 1962
A. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS:
None to report.
B. OTHER ITEMS:
1. SA DCT (Mr. In anticipation of his briefing of Mr. =on 13 March,
C/OS requested several suitable items from our training
materials collection that he could give to Mr. for
perusal at his leisure. COS suggested the Tradecraft Guide
and the Glossary. We added to these the paper on Intelligence
Concepts and the Field Officers Guide to Intelligence Infor-
mation Reporting.
2. MORE COUNTER-INSURGENCY:
called on Friday to report that he would
be at the Pentagon for two weeks' duty beginning 12 March.
Naturally I queried him as to his assignment. Always cooper-
ative Doug reported he would be working in ACSI's office
(2-E473, Pentagon) on "counter-insurrection.'t Today we
received a request from ACSI for two more copies of the
Glossary, indicating possibly that Doug is making Christians
out of ACSI's.

4. GLOSSARY FOR THE
25X1A6a
25X1A9a On 8 March of FE/ asked for a glossary
of communist terms and phrases to pass to a - liaison 25X1A6a
service. He explained that a case officer in the field had
remembered once having seen a mimeographed OTR glossary and
wondered if it were still available. of SIC was 25X1A9a
unable to identify the item from 's sketchy 25X1A6a
description. He supposed the field could be asking for any-
25X1A9a thing from s out-of-print and out-of-date "Red 25X1A
Interpreter" to the list of terms which permitted
the Agency to use before publication of his book on communist
25X1A9a terminology. Mr. - told us that was in no 25X1A6a
rush, so Bob has decided to modify a glossary which at one
time was used with SIC's CP Organization and Operations Course.
This might well be the one the requester had in mind. Bob's
new version will also be included in the Handbook on Communism
when it is completed.
5. IMPROVEMENT OF CONTINGENCY TRAINING TN - 25X1A6a
25X1A9a Last week we received an information copy of a
dispatch in which recommended to several other 25X1A6a
25X1A6a - bases that they compare the materials used in six
separate but similar current training programs concerned with
contingency activities. Henry wanted to insure that all
programs were making the best use of available materials and
25X1A6a suggested that - review "existing training schedules,
training aids, manuals and lecture content." He also pointed
out that USAREUR's Training Aids Center was rumored to have
better materials and aids than those being used by CIA in the
field and at Headquarters. Henry then stated his intention
of sending to Headquarters the essential details of 25X1A6a
programs which have possible application at Headquarters.
25X1A9a We have arranged for Henry, who is now back, to come over
with at his earliest convenience to discuss
the su , ec .
We have finished editing and reproducing in ditto 13
chapters of SIC's Handbook on Communism. The 14th chapter
will go into reproduction this week and expects 25X1A9a
to have completed the 15th and final chapter before 16 March.

 Approved For Release 1001/08/10: CIA-RDP78-06084A0003O10014-6
We are reproducing only 50 copies at this time and
marking all of them WORKING DRAFT. Both SIC and we agree
that the Handbook will require considerable revision and
expansion before it can be regarded as an official train-
ing document for use outside the Agency. It was produced
hurriedly to meet an urgent need. and will be extremely
useful to competent instructors overseas. For the time
being, however, we will release the working draft copies
for the use of Agency staff officers only.
