MEMORANDUM FOR:. Director of Training
SUBJECT Course Report for JCS-DIA
Orientation #6
1. Fifty-two senior officers and civilians from the
Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (O/JCS), the military
departments, and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
attended the JCS-DIA Orientation #6 at Headquarters on 27
and 28 September 1966. Officially welcomed by the Executive
Director-Comptroller and briefed by senior Agency officials
from all four components, the class received a personal
visit from the Director at the conclusion of the two-day
program when Mr. Helms invited specific questions from the
visitors. When Rear Adm. Allen F. Fleming, USN, expressed
his own appreciation and that of the class for the Agency's
briefings, Mr. Helms commented that he was glad to gel: the
Admiral's evaluation since it was often difficult to get a
feedback. The Director then added that he felt the program
was about the right length, both from the point of view of
the visiting officers being away from their desks and from that
of the Agency briefers who came down to talk in the program.
2. Following the formal conclusion of the two-day
orientation with the remarks of Mr. Helms to the class, 17
officers and civilians accepted the invitation of Capt.
The appreciation expressed by these visitors for the OPSCEN
briefings suggests that in next spring's orientation a brief
tour of the-Agency's alert facilities might be scheduled in
the formal program.
Chief, CIA Operations Center, to visit that
round-the-clock watch facility on the 7th floor of Headquarters.
3.? Thirty-seven members of the JCS-DIA Orientation #6
submitted critiques of the two-day program. From these written
statements and additional oral remarks, the class seemed to be
well-impressed with the calibre of the Agency briefings, as
well as the organization and administration of the course. Most
of the visitors felt that the two-day length of the course
satisfied their needs and that the timing of the program--in
late September--was ideal for providing the many newly assigned

officers to the Washington headquarters area with timely infor-
mation on the Agency and its mission. The critiques reflected
many of the questions asked during the briefings--that is, the
visitors' concern over CIA-Defense Department relationships
(both at home and abroad), especially command relationships.
between the Agency and DOD in overseas situations; their
interest in learning the contact points, media, and procedures
for developing Agency-Defense relationships; and their interest
in mutual problems to which they might find answers in their
current military assignments. The only Agency briefing that
di-d not arouse much class interest was the ADP presentation
on the Coordination of Overseas Activities.
4. Of the 52 visitors attending the two-day program 33
came from DIA--of whom 5 were from the DIS--and 19 members
came from the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, including
a few from the military departments. Senior members of the
class were: Mr. William E. Lang, Assistant Secretary of.
Defense (ISA); Rear Adm. Allen F. Fleming, USN, Assistant
Director of the Strategic Plans Division, O/JCS; I 25X1A

5. Evidence of the current interest the Defense Depart-
ment has in the JCS-DIA Orientation program is further shown,
not only by periodic inquiries from the Pentagon regarding
the next orientation, but also by the fact that Maj. Gen.
Richard W. Whitney, Chief of Staff for DIA--who at the last
moment was unable to attend himself--personally checked the
DIA nominees coming to the 27-28 September orientation. Gen.
Whitney also suggested that the remaining applicants--an
equally large number--be the first DIA designees for the JCS-DIA
Orientation #7 next spring. One member of the class, who
suggested four runnings of this orientation in the future,
commented that it took him 18 months to obtain a slot for the
recent program.. Another class member, a graduate of the
National War College, even suggested giving the same program
to that service school.

6. The brevity of the actual orientation itself--two
full days--tends to minimize the large amount of administra-
tive detail, considerable paper work, and support that is very
necessary in handling a group of senior outside visitors who
are briefed by the Agency's top officials. The particular ?
support provided by the Office of Logistics and various ele-
ments of OTR was most essential in helping to keep adminis-
trative problems to a minimum.
