COURSE ACTIVITIES
1. Seminar on Latin America
For the March meetings of the continuing Seminar on Latin America,
25X1A9a those participants who had not heard Dr. survey problems
of modernization and economic development, met with Dr. II on 25X1A9a
Tuesday, 23 March. On Wednesday, the other Seminar members heard a
talk on how the policy-making process works by Miron Vaky, career FSO,
former State Department Representative on the N'SC Staff, and former
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America. In both sessions
the presentations were followed by lively question periods.
2. Intelligence and World Affairs
Only 21 students are enrolled in the Intelligence and World Affairs
course which began on 22 March. An unusually high percentage are from
DDS and DDS&T. They have participated more in class discussions than did
the last IWA.
3. Special Orientation for Overseas
OS, has requested a special running of the Orientation
for Overseas for 21 officers and adult dependents who are not available
to enroll in the monthly 00 classes. This running will be given 20 and
21 April. Because enrollments in the 00 peak in late spring, we have
opened the OS class to a maximum of four registrants from other components.
This limitation is set by the only space available to us at Headquarters,
the OS Briefing Room, with a capacity of 25.
4. Writing Workshop Tutorial
will begin a writing tutorial on 12 April for a CS employee
unable to enroll in the next Writing Workshop.

25X1A9a
1. On 23 March, at Headquarters, briefed the chief staff
advisor to the , on
the national security structure and the Agency. The visitor was
interested in CIA/FBI relationships and division of responsibilities.
2. The following briefings were given to 27 foreign students in the
Senior Foreign Officer Course at USAINTS (Fort Holabird):
, on the background of Communist activity

Far East and Southeast Asia, on 25 March.
3. On 24 March, spoke to 5 technicians at the International
Police Academy on Sino-Soviet Bloc presence abroad, and on 25 March,
spoke to 34 students in the general course on Communist programs
and tactics. 25X1A
Although our appearances
are usually fairly routine, the latter group took
the suggestion of open questioning quite literally -- questions which
could not be brushed aside regardless of the official topic. Bob strained
on the question of admission of Communist China to the United Nations.
Fortunately, there were some strong defenders within the class who did not
hesitate to express themselves.
4. As a result of a request from to DTR, Colonel White
will brief, in the USIB Conference Room, about 40 students from the Alfred
P. Sloan Fellows Program on 2 April. They are presently undergoing a year's
study at M.I.T.'s Sloan School of Management. During their stay in Washington,
from 28 March through 2 April, they will visit with officials in the Admini-
stration, Congress, and the international banking world.

sponsored Population Seminar 25X1A
3. OSR Request for Tank Course
25X1A9a
25X1A9a
During the last AIS, Chief of the Land Warfare Branch
in OSR, asked if OTR could set up a course for some of his
people in the fundamentals of tank operations at the U.S. Army Armor
School at Ft. Knox, Kentucky. Checks in the Pentagon showed that, while
no suitable course presently exists, they would have no trouble setting
up such a course on request. I is presently drafting a memo
from D/OSR to DTR on this subject.
4. Navy's Human Relations Project
Lt. William Brew, who heads up the cross-cultural training unit in the
Navy's new Human Relations Project,visited on 25 March. Marc
provided general guidance to the growing literature in this field and
advice concerning training problems. Lt. Brew suggested that we sit in on
a lively presentation by Navy's David Rosenberg, which we suspect rivals
that of FSI's James Bostain. Mr. Rosenberg is Director for the Area Orient-
ation/Overseasmanship program and regularly speaks to the personnel of,
outbound ships.
5. Committee Established to Review CIA Pamphlet
A committee met Wednesday in the DD/I Conference Room to discuss the
blue-covered pamphlet on CIA and to decide whether it should be modified
significantly. This pamphlet, which is primarily a fact-book, is being
reissued with minor changes to fill present needs. The committee decided
that this fact book should be expanded.
This pamphlet has been given out selectively by recruiters and by DCS
field offices; it is mailed to high school and college students who write
for details either to the Agency or to their representative in Congress.
OTR has given it to Brookings participants, to CIA representatives going
to the Senior Service Schools, and to students in the basic FSO course. a
25X1A9a The committee, which was chaired by Q included Messrs. Wattles,
