1. Midcareer Course
ADDI Paul Walsh substituted for Ed Proctor in an evening
session as Phase II continued with the second week at
Bruce Clarke, as usual, received high marks for his presentation.
Evening discussions picked up considerably with the DDP segment
asl stimulated
a lively dialogue which continued into the late hours. Next week,
Management Science at Anacostia.
2. IWA - Cross Cultural Training
An innovation will be introduced into the Perception Unit
of the IWA in response to a frequent comment from students. On
11 December, the problem exercises will be more structured than
heretofore, with the help of two additional staff members. John
Is hand in the teams'
separate discussions of individual problems and in the follow-up
reporting session for the class as a whole.
For some time the IWA critiques have shown a minor trend toward
criticizing the lack of effectiveness of some teams' reports to
the class and have suggested that we provide more structure to the
whole exercise. Our first step in this direction seeks to draw out
more clearly in the follow-up session the lessons suggested by the
students' free discussions in the prior team meetings. We anticipate
that the introduction of staffers as "resource persons" and side-line
prompters in the team meetings will provide indirect guidance with-
out inhibiting discussion. The addition of the staffers to the
reporting panels in the follow-up session should help point up the
lessons to be drawn and thus give us maximum benefit from the whole
exercise.

3. Intelligence and World Affairs
The enrollment in the Intelligence and World Affairs course
(IWA) which began on Monday rose by some 20 per cent with the
last minute enrollment of a number o (candidates. The total
41 is thus fairly large for the IWA. Despite the size, participation
has been good both in class and in group sessions.
4. JCS-DIA Orientation
Final. preparations have been made for the 17th JCS-DIA Orientation
to be held on 5 and 6 December in Room 1A-07. A total of 67 visitors
are expected, 32 from JCS, 31 from DIA and 4 from the Defense Intelli-
gence School. Among the visitors are Maj. Gen. Arthur Adams, USMC,
Deputy Chief of Staff, CINCLANT and Maj. Gen. Edward McGough, USAF,
Deputy Commandant, ICAF. General Walters has been invited to make
the concluding remarks.
5. FEI Visit
Fourteen members of the Federal Executive Institute's Seminar
on Foreign Policy were given a two hour briefing at Headquarters in
the DDI Conference Room on 28 November. The group was in Washington
for several days of briefings in preparation for a field trip to
gence community and the Agency. Member of the STATINTL

Mr. William Stevenson, CBC/TV producer, has scheduled a meeting
to discuss the 13-part documentary which the Canadian
corporation is making on the life of Britain's U.S. wartime intelli-
gence chief, Sir William S. Stephenson.
Mr. Stevenson, who has been very favorably reported on by the

eight-page scenario. As projected, it promises to be a major and
perhaps unique production on intelligence. Also, the producer explains
that he is attempting to look at World War II "in a way that has not
been attempted before...that is, with a proper regard for the importance
of good intelligence and its operational application." The theme of
the documentary will be the essentiality of good intelligence to the
defense of a free society at all times.

favor of curricula which stress language use. He defines "use" as
classroom activities in which new information is constantly being
exchanged between speaker and listener, communication activities like

from someone else. In addition to this theme, which we discussed in

table-top model of Moscow. Our instructors were cordially received,
and they found the visit profitable.

1. The feasibility of using tape decks and some sort of electronic
system for shorthand refresher training in the classroom is being considered.
If practicable, this approach may offer an opportunity to reduce the
amount of instructor time now required. A multi-reel tape deck which
permits the simultaneous playing of shorthand exercises at three different
speeds is in use at the Civil Service Commission's training center but
is quite expensive. Literature discussing electronic systems using
taped dictation for instruction has been referred to technicians in the
Language School for a practical evaluation of installation and maintenance
requirements and costs.

NPIC Training Officer, and Mr. Robert

30 November to discuss an NPIC requirement for a Team Building
session (similar to the FEI seminar on Organization Develo ment
attended by NPIC officers during 1971 and 1972). Messrs and
_ipreferred an in-house "seminar" run by Support School
personnel to inviting a Management Training consultant in to do the job.
The Support School accepted the requirement followin review
of the composition of the FEI seminar and the objectives he has in mind.
With the exception of a single exercise, the substance and techniques
employed by FEI are familiar to MTF. NPIC wants to get started as
soon as possible. The next step will be a meeting during the second
week of January to review a first draft covering the proposed substance
and schedule. A tentative target date for the activity is the week of
26 March 1973 at~ The activity probably will take three or four
days and will include evening sessions. About 25 officers from NPIC
will constitute the student body.

GENERAL
1. A searching discussion was held withl CI Training
Officer on the subject of the possible demise of the CI Ops Course.
His original approach was that we combine the CI Survey and CI Operations
Courses and call. them the CI Ops Survey. We held out for the view that this
would accomplish nothing except a cosmetic change and not even do that very
well. We were much more concerned with whether there were identifiable
areas of weakness in CI instruction in operational courses than we were with
the luster on the CI door plate. If such areas could be identified for us
we would welcome? the opportunity to make constructive changes, but that
we hoped there would be no impulse to come up with a profusion of CI labels
for things that were already being done without specific labels as parts of
other courses. We talked briefly of the Board of Visitors as perhaps being
an instrument through which CI Staff might be able to represent their point
of view, but warnedI at the same time that this was intended to be a
bridge-building vehicle and not an inspectorial one; that the Board if
queried on this matter might well be expected to require the CI Staff to
cite evidence to show wherein present OTR performance was deficient. In
short, we urged him to try and get the Staff to recognize both the quality
and quantity of CI instruction now being offered and to make constructive
suggestions for its improvement or for demonstrable needs now being over-
looked or neglected. Whether we were successful remains to be seen, but
we believel.s convinced we are not being obstructive or negative.

the planned conversion of the U. S. to the Metric System as the

Metrication Committee be formed if the Metric Act is introduced
in the forthcoming session of Congress; some of CIA's key
engineering personnel take this course in the near future; and
consideration be given to contracting for several in-house courses
on this subject, especially in light of the statement in Senate
