The Training Liaison Officer/CRR,, raised a quest as to the need
of DO/I applicants for language training to hand-cagy enrollment request
forms to Individual Instructors in each case, He pointed out that, in
many instances, this simply resulted in a pro forma signature by the in..
st nc ror on the training request form and that this action frequently
involved substu.ntial loss of time on the part of the prospective' stude
in travelling back and forth between M Building and I Eui

Chief, LET S$ replied that the whole point of student-instructor meeting
at this stage was to ensure that the student was enrolling in the course
most appropriate to his language training requirements; and this was
particularly important in the. case of new students,, It was agreed that
this .nubJect would be taken up by `".hief, LETS., and each of the DD/i
Offices that had experienced difficulties in this respect witli a view
toward simplifying procedures to eliminate unnecessary loss of time on
the part of the enrollees

C)TR advised the group that the OTR Briefing for DD/I personnel.
! .std. be 14mited in number to 3O., and should consist of division
c'h: efs. deputy division abiefs, branch chiefs, ? nd deputy branch
chiefs. It was agreed that the names of those selected would be
furnished to for screening to hold the group : to 30
in number and the i.na list would be forwarded to DTR by
27 October.

Deputy Chief, A// Staff, urged that training officers schedule
A/1 testing for personnel concurrently with their enrollment in the
BOG or courses offered at in order that the instructor 25X1
evaluations can be coordinated with the A/ test results in the final
evaluations furnished to the trainee's supervisor. Instances in the
past have indicated that unless this is done, the student escapes
without pre-training testing which impairs the quality of the evalua-
tion provided the supervisor and is disruptive to the A/F Staff in
accomplishing the testing necessary for these purposes.
Training Liaison Officers expressed universal agreement with OTR
that it was more efficient to produce an entirely now edition of the
.3jrj than to provide them with pages to be inserted in
the current edition., The point was rmde that, while this may increase
the printing bill of the Gam, it will result in a saving on the
part of those who must remove and destroy obsolete pages and replace
them with current material. When the new edition of the is
received from the printer, recipients will be requested to save only
the covers of the current Ca. a; and to use them to bind the new
sheets which are furnished them.

7. Ancao tom.
a. Chief, LETS, announced that a three-month, full-tine, intensive
course in Advanced Spoken Russian will be started on or before
14 November. Course enrollment will be limited to six students, three
of whom have already been enrolled.

by I representing the Chief/IS, announced the
offering of a course on conference leadership to meet twice a week
end that the Oral. Briefing course, previously offered by the same
i.netructor, will not be offered in the future since the requirements
for it have been fulfilled. He also announced the beginning on
21 November of the Intelligence Writing course which will be offered
half-days for a period of three weeks for a class of ten students.
8. A _pt Require
Chief., PPS, advised the group that the next request for estimated
requirements for FY 56-57 will include internal training requirements
as well as the area,, language, and external training requirements
previously requested. It was pointed out that this information is
essential to OTR so that School Chiefs could balance their teaching
load on the basis of these estimates and that the DTR could manage
the assets of OTR more effectively. It was concluded that from the
TLO s point of view, this was feasible, provided the results were re-
garded as estimates as distinguished from requirements. It was also
noted that? In some instances, two or more Offices within the DD/I
have been consistently developing such data for their own operations
even though the results of this effort had not been requested by OTR.
