25X1 FROM:
Acting Chief, Intelligence Training Division
25X1 SUBJECT: IT Weekly Report
1. Professor Robert Campbell of Indiana University discussed "The
Contribution of Western Technology: Acquisition, Absorption, and
Diffusion" in the Soviet Economy Block on 31 May. Professor Campbell
stated that the Soviet Union has gone through three waves of technology
transfer from the West: the period of the Five-Year Plans after 1928,
World War II, and the Seventies. Access to advanced technology, however,
does not guarantee sustaining a high level of technological achievement.
Other things are required: an ability to absorb and diffuse the
technology throughout the economy; high levels of worker and managerial
skills; proper bureaucratic procedures; and necessary transportation
facilities. The Soviet Union has a poor record in achieving these skills
and processes. As to what the USSR has gained from exploiting Western
technology, Professor Campbell cited a study by Philip Hanson on chemical
technology procured by the Soviet Union. Hanson concluded that the USSR
in this instance had added about one-half of one percent to its annual
rate of industrial growth. However, disadvantages may be suffered from
too much dependency on foreign technology; it can result in a permanent
25X1 lag of one generation in technological achievements.
2. The Laser Fundamentals and Applications Course ran successfully
on 31 May - 2 June. Fourteen students attended and rated the course
effective and relevant to their needs. The course, presented by a
contractor, provided students with a basic understanding of laser
25X1 principles and uses.
3. In building an information network to develop the course on
25X1 Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), of STI met on 1 June
with representatives of DOD's Product Engineering Services, who are also
organizing a CIM course. DOD's course will be four days in length taught
only in Falls Church by a professor from the Rochester Institute of
Technology. In addition to developing a course, PES is responding to a
Congressional request to produce an overview of CIM in U.S. defense
industries by 15 September 1988. STI will keep in contact with PES and
attempt to enroll Bill in the DOD course, scheduled after our CIM
25X1 course.

4. On 1 - 2 June, the military analyst training team of the Topical
25X1 Issues Branch
25X1 held a planning retreat In addition to reviewing the military
training program as a whole, the group decided to make certain
innovations in the September running of the four-week Military Analysis

5. The latest running of the four-week Analysis Training Course

CTs (8) worked exceptionally well. The students' performance in the
