MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director-Comptroller
SUBJECT : Briefings for Foreign Service Officers
Executive Registry,
70 - T 7771
1. The Foreign Service Institute will begin its second one-week seminar
on Intelligence and Foreign Policy on 14 December. Its content will be similar
to that of the first running last December, described in the attachment; i. e.,
three days on the intelligence community and some of its parts, one day on
CIA in general, and one day on the Clandestine Service. The only other brief-
ing of old Foreign Service hands is the one-day program at CIA (7 December
this year) for students of the Senior Seminar.
2. You will recall that the one-week FSI course was the product of a CIA
initiative in the fall of 1969. It was to have been a CIA course of one week with
special emphasis on the relationships between State and the Clandestine Service;
but when the FSI realized that it had never given a course on any aspect of intel-
ligence, it took over and relegated the CIA portion to two days plus presenta-
tions by Tom Parrott on the structure of the community and Bruce Clarke on
the Cuban missile crisis as a case study in intelligence production. The course
was well received by the 25 FSOs who attended.
3. When the Deputies recently agreed to cancel Project Useful they also
agreed that we are presenting too little orientation and briefing to too few For-
eign Service Officers. It would help if the FSI course were given at least twice
a year, but even better would be a supplementary series of programs run by
CIA along the lines of the JCS/DIA briefings, perhaps also twice a year. It
seems clear that more vigorous missionary work is called for: FSOs who
attend our few briefings show woeful ignorance of CIA's missions and functions,
and in particular of our interface with State. Many had never even heard of
I hope it will be possible for you to suggest ex ansion of the effort in
some ear y conversation with Mr. I so that we can 25X1
work out details with the acting director of FSI, Mr. Sollenberger.
