beyond everybody's expectation. The students not only analyzed the
in-basket exhaustively as individuals but also as teams. One team
spent five hours debating the issues. A number of the students felt
that the in-basket was particularly rewarding and felt that it was the
only part of the course which got them emotionally involved. Dis-
cussions with have been held relative to sharpening up the
in-basket on the basis of our experience so far. If this in-basket
proves to be permanently usable, we will have saved quite a bit of
money by writing it ourselves inasmuch as told us it would take 25X1A
$50, 000 to develop a suitable in-basket. We shall try out this in-basket
also in our next regular management course as well as in the next
senior seminar.

SUBJECT: Bi-Weekly Activities Report No. 7
15 March - 26 March 1965
1. The Intelligence Production Course finished on
19 March after two days of final briefings and after a
mad scramble by students to get their course research
papers turned in on time. Once again the system of blocks
of research time and firm deadlines brought the course to
a real conclusion on the final day. Only one student,
25X1A decided that her paper was too important to
be finished on time. Despite warnings, she announced
that her paper will be completed on the job and that her
new supervisor concurred in her decision. She will re-
ceive an Incomplete on her student evaluation. All the
other students finished in a blaze of glory, and most
seemed satisfied with the course--one student remarking
that she found she knew more about the Agency than the
people she interviewed in her course research project.
However, all the students seemed most happy to be faced
with the prospect of starting on a job.
25X1A 2. On 26 March described the strategic
intelligence process to 49 students of the Strategic
Intelligence Course at DIS. Several of the students
asked questions about the security classification of
information and expressed their concern about the prob-
lems of overclassification. From their questions I
gather that some students were surprised to learn that
individuals outside the intelligence community contribute
to intelligence production.

cuss the possibility of making a movie film on NPIC and
the subject of photographic intelligence. There is no
film available that is up-to-date on the new techniques
and equipment for photo interpretation and photogrammetry.
Since NPIC is physically a considerable distance away
from the Headquarters building and has security restric-
tions on admission to its facility, a film would be use-
ful to familiarize more people with NPIC's activities
and the photo interpretation support provided by the CIA
Departmental Detachment, the Photographic Intelligence
Division. Such a film would be of great value in the

presentation was poles away from the normal sterile (and
unrealistic) presentation of policy-making when viewed
from the NSC itself. Although Mr. Klein is not the world's
most scintillating speaker, the content of his talk has
terrific impact on high level audiences, and I would recom-
mend that he be used at least in the Mid-Career course.
An extremely worthwhile presentation was given by a member
of the DOD S&T group, who spoke on ways in which intelli-
gence has profoundly affected DOD research and develop-
ment programs. He cited many specific examples where
intelligence findings on Soviet defenses, weapons, and
operating methods and policies had resulted in cutback
or elimination of some weapons systems (such as of a
high performance interceptor, when it was found that the
Soviets were not producing high performance bombers), and
the development or expansion of others which intelligence
showed would be of increased value. 25X1A
6. On Thursday afternoon worked with the
DIA Educational Advisor, , and two consultants 25X1A
from in reviewing the proposed schedule for
DIA's forthcoming JOT course, and laying plans for the
development of exercises on the various major subject
fields of interest to DIA, as well as on specific analyt-
ical techniques. Some of the exercises which will be
developed might be useful in our own JOT training.
