6. The DTR distributed copies of a paper on DDA
responses to the Agency Employee Survey. He noted that OTR
has now formed an internal MAG and that and the
ADMAG would be talking with the ADDCI t Wig He
asked the Unit Chiefs to study the paper and provide all
assistance required in solving the problems noted.
7. The DTR stated that the Director had been invited
to speak at the Air War College. The DCI had declined on
principle, restating his belief that students should be
active in such institutions, not simply passive listeners.
The DTR stated that the DCI may look at some of our courses
in this light--he has already said that he wanted to become
more involved in training. Chief, II, noted that the students
are already becoming more involved in seminars, projects,
and the like in the Midcareer Course and the Senior Seminar.
Chief, FTD, noted that he is planning to institute student
accountability in the IPC by recording whether a student
completed the courses satisfactorily or unsatisfactorily.
The DTR stated that we must put more activity and accounta-
bility into our courses. The members discussed ways of
tackling this problem. The DTR stressed the seriousness of
the problem and asked each member to look at each of his
courses and consider ways to obtain student accountability.
8. The DDOT gave the background for the expanded
Chiefs of Station Course. He noted that the DDO wants COSs
to go out with a broader knowledge of the Intelligence
Community and the world today. The DDOT has designed a new
15-20 day course in four blocks. He gave a synopsis of the
new course.
