Prior to his recent rotation back to DD/P following a tour as in-
structor in the Operations School, Office of Training, the Chief Instructor,
Counterespionage Operations course, in his 9 July 1956 final report to me,
evaluated his experience as follows:
"I have held various intelligence assignments in the last
fifteen years ranging from commanding a CIC Detach-
ment to running a DD/P Division. I believe that an as-
signment in OTR has been as fruitful to me as anything
I have ever done in intelligence work. It has been profit-
able to stop and consider why certain operations have
succeeded and others failed, and this in turn has helped
me to reach conclusions which should result in more and
more successful operations. It has been a pleasure to
pass on these views to students, to have them agree or
disagree and to discuss better alternatives, when they
had such alternatives. I have found that I have had much
to impart, but a great deal more to learn. With due
humility I feel confident in saying that DD/P's most ex-
perienced officers would profit a great deal from a tour
in OTR. What's more, they would enjoy it. "
In reference to this statement by one of the many qualified and capable
operations officers who have advanced the mission of DD/P through rota-
tional service in the Office of Training, I invite your attention to the article
"Professor of Operations, " especially written for this issue of the OTR
Bulletin by the Chief, Southern Europe Division, DD/P.

AGENCY SETS "5%-IN-TRAINING" POLICY
The Director of Central Intelli-
gence, in October of 1955, stated in
CIA Notice No. 25-110-11:
"In order that the Central Intel-
ligence Agency may carry out effec-
tively the increasingly heavy and
important requirements laid upon it
by the National Security Council, the
employees of this Agency must continue
to improve and Increase their profes-
sional knowledge and skills. All
recent reports of inspecting commit-
tees have emphasized the role of
proper and sufficient training in
attaining this objective.
"It is, therefore, the policy of
this Agency that 5% of Headquarters
"on-duty" personnel will be in train-
ing status at all times."
The Agency "5%-in-Training" policy
25XlAnow is set forth in CIA Regulation
you have any question concerning this
regulation, the statement of policy
of which reads:
dated 18 July 1956. Your
Training Officer will assist you if
"It is the policy of this Agency
that at least five percent of the
total manhours of headquarters "on-
duty" staff personnel will be expend-
ed in training as defined in this
regulation."
NOONTIME MOVIE PROGRAM IS POPULAR
Language and area films being shown
at 1016 R&S Building at 1200 hours
are becoming increasingly popular.
42 people attended "The Russian
Question" on 25 July; 32 people at-
tended the English area film "USSR"
on 26 July; and a record audience of
75 people attended the Italian film
"Bicycle Thief" on 9 August.

NEXT INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTS EXHIBIT
SCHEDULED 13 SEPTEMBER, THURSDAY
Members of the Agency are invited
to attend the Intelligence Products
Exhibit, scheduled to be shown in the
Auditorium of the Recreation and
Service Building on Thursday, 13
September, between 0930 and 1200
hours.

part of Intelligence Orientation,
course B-3 in your OTR Catalog, the
exhibit has been found to be of great
interest and significance to members
of the Agency. The exhibit is unique
in that it presents in one room a
comprehensive view of the greater
part of the intelligence activities
of CIA.

INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY COOPERATES!
At the request of the Director of
Training, United States Information
Agency, the Language and Area School,
OTR, is conducting a special, part-
time basic course in Russian for four
USIA students. Five Agency students
also are enrolled in the course. This
course, scheduled for one presentation,
meets a specific requirement set forth
by USIA.

invited CIA to enroll students in
Vietnamese courses offered by that
Agency. Contact your Training Offi-
cer if you desire information regard-
ing this opportunity.

RUSSIAN NEWSPAPER READER
FIRST IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE SERIES
The Eastern Department of the Lan-
guage and Area School has just pub-
lished a Russian Newspaper Reader,
for use in intermediate and advanced
classes. It consists of a compilation
of articles, printed items, and cartoons
from current Russian newspapers and
journals, representing the fields of
archaeology, economics, politics,
sciences, sports and the arts. Pro-
duced by photo offset process, it
contains 140 pages, and is styled in
the popular "pocket book" size. To
ward off potential cases of myopia
and eyestrain, the type is "blown-up"
to about twice its original newspaper
size!
This Russian Newspaper Reader is
part of a series being produced by
the staff of the Eastern Department,
to remedy the lack of commercial
texts with "area" type materials and
readings of special interest to
intelligence personnel.
Russian is not the only East Euro-
pean language to receive attention.
There are in preparation Czech,
Slovak and Polish newspaper readers,
similar to the Russian model. Eventu-
ally, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Serbo-
Croatian and Albanian readers will
be produced.

ON APPLICANTS FOR FULL-TINE JAPANESE
Four Agency students have been
certified by the OTR Qualifications
Review Panel as meeting the qualifi-
cations for attendance in the Language
and Area School's full-time intensive
Japanese course beginning 1 October.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
PROVIDING FOR CASH AWARDS
NOW IN PROCESS OF AGENCY COORDINATION
In January, the Director of Central
Intelligence directed that a plan be
designed to encourage Agency employ-
ees to attain.and maintain profi-
ciency in foreign languages. You may
recall reading a feature story in
the Washington Star newspaper con-
cerning the Director's interest in
this matter.
The plan, developed by a committee
consisting of representatives from
all major components of the Agency,
was approved by the CIA Career Council
in February,and by the DCI in March.
Two CIA regulations, implementing
the plan, have been in the process of
coordination for some time. Among the
advantages to employees provided in
these regulations is a formula whereby
individuals may earn initial and
recurrent cash awards as an incentive
to entering the field of language
study.
Your OTR Bulletin will carry a de-
tailed article on the Foreign Lan-
guage Development Program as soon as
these regulations have been approved.

A special feature of the program is the amount of attention devoted to the
theme "Understanding and Dealing With Foreign Peoples." Individual lecturers

Latin Americans, etc. In this way, much of the "know-how" gained by our per-
sonnel through years of experience will be transmitted to you. As a result, it

abroad, you will be able to establish more effective rapport and attain better
results.
Summaries of the lectures, in English, will be provided in the "Understand-
ing and Dealing With Foreign People" talks, and also in a few other instances.
The lecture in Arabic, due to the very limited number of Agency personnel able
to understand this language, will be given in English with a brief summary fol-
lowing., in Arabic.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE WRITING
(By the Staff of the Writing Workshop, Intelligence School)
"Do but take care to express yourself in a plain, easy Manner,
in well-chosen, significant and decent Terms, and to give a
harmonious and pleasing Turn to your Periods; study to explain
your Thoughts, and set them in the truest Light, labouring as
much as possible, not to leave them dark nor intricate, but
clear and intelligible."
CERVANTES: Preface to Don Quixote
Most of us cannot hope to develop that smooth, free style in our writ-
ing which will give "a pleasing Turn to our Periods" as suggested by Cer-
vantes, but with practice and care you can explain your thoughts so that
they are clear and intelligible.
In your writing you must first of all have something to say, and then
must say it as clearly and concisely as you can. Although style and for-
mat may differ in various offices of the Agency, there are certain things
all authors should strive for. If you attain them you will be able to
express yourself so that your readers not only will understand what you
are saying, but also cannot misunderstand it -- in writing for the intel-
ligence community it is imperative that you not be misunderstood.
First of all you should strive for accuracy. Accuracy, in turn, re-
quires that you be honest and objective. You must report things as you
see them and must keep personal prejudices out of your writing. You. must
not report as fact something based on supposition-or insufficient evidence.
In order to write accurately, you must write clearly; this is our next
point.
There are a number of aspects to clarity, one of the most important of
which is good diction -- the use of the precise word. Always try to use
the familiar word and avoid jargon. Why say "subsequent to" when you mean
"after"? Don't use technical terms that are clear to the specialist but
unintelligible to the outsider -- the "eutectic point" of metal is nothing
more nor less than the melting point of metal, but what layman would know
that? Another aspect of clarity is lack of ambiguity. Very often you know
what you mean in writing a sentence, but will the reader? "Censure for the
New Deal cannot, in justice, be too sharp." Your interpretation of what

 Approved For Release 2005/07/25 : CIA-RDP78-03921A000200080001-7
S..E-C.-R-E-T
that sentence means depends on whether you are a Democrat or a Republican:
Clarity also entails good sentence structure. Keep your sentences short and
compact; don't put a strain on your reader's memory by separating widely
parts of a sentence that are closely related to one another. Avoid permitting
a meandering stream of words to masquerade as a sentence.
When we consider clarity we must consider conciseness. Use as few words
as possible without losing the flavor of what you want to say. Verbiage is
defined as "an abundance Of words without necessity or without much meaning."
If a man is "of the dogmatic type" he is surely just "dogmatic". If you are
"desirous of doing something", you want to do it. We are all guilty of ver-
bosity, and it is a fault that we can only overcome through careful rewriting
and editing.
Careful rewriting and editing will also eliminate a great many mechanical
faults. Errors of syntax, punctuation, and spelling are examples of these
mechanical faults.
If you can master the art of writing clearly and concisely, you are well
on your way to developing impact in your writing and thus putting your
thoughts across with the maximum effect.
Finally, all this adds up to style. Jonathan Swift says that "proper
words in proper places make the true definition of style." Good style in-
cludes, in addition to the points already mentioned, an easy flow of language,
proper organization of material, and variation in sentence structure.
A person cannot be taught hoV to brilliantly, but he can me madeaware
of the faults outlined above sco that he will correct them when they occur
in his writing and ultimately, after practice, eliminate them entirely. OTR
provides two writing courses to help an individual improve his writin . Firsts
there is the course in rote Writing taught by 25X1 A9A
This course is given in a'series of two one-hour sessions per week for ten
weeks. Its objectives are: to study principles of exact, clear, forceful,
expository writing; to investigate the most effective methods of organizing
and presenting written material; and to sharpen the capacity to perform
accurate, logical treatment and show the relationship between thinking and
writing. The next class begins 24 September.
The second course is the Writing W r sho , which consists of nine three-
hour sessions during a. four-week period and has a maximum enrollment of 12.
It has as its objectives review of the elements of, and appreciation of the
principles of, clear and concise writing. The course is conducted on the
"learn by doing" principle and gives special attention to the development
of a simple, direct style and to the solution of writing problems such as
structural organizatiob and diction. The next class begins 10 September.

PROFESSOR OF OPERATIONS
(by Chief, Southern Europe Division, DD/P)
Coming back into the Clandestine Services after a tour in the Office
of Training, I find there are still widespread misconceptions about the
value of such a tour for the professional DD/P man. I shared some of`
those misconceptions when I rather grudgingly accepted an assignment to
OTR in April 1953, but have had over the next thirty months in OTR and
nine months back in the Clandestine Services an excellent chance to test
them against the facts. Here, then, are some first-hand observations for
those of my colleagues who still feel like Shakespeare's
... schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school.
Let me put the old stereotyped prejudices in blunt languages
1. Training isn't very important - it's experience that counts. As
a corollary, assignment to OTR is a form of exile, or at best a
detour.
2. Training is so far out of the rain stream of events that you'll
stagnate in a backwater of dreamy routine.
3. If you ever get into Training you'll never get out.
4. Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.
Every one of those notions is false. Let's demolish them one by one.
1. Certainly the importance of Training to the outfit was not recog-
nized during our first several years. Outside pressures, which
reached their climax when Korea made World War III seem imminent,
impelled us to a frantic haste altogether incommensurate with the
difficulty and importance of the job to be done. We recruited too
fast, we sent people out too fast, we skimped Training wherever
possible and in literally hundreds of cases omitted it entirely.
All in the name of national emergency. It's easy and not very
profitable in these somewhat quieter times to criticize the mis-
takes we made in those days; but at least we dare not forget that

S-.E-C_R-E._T
many of our most grievous blunders were the direct and inescapable
results of lack of training. Men did get that valuable experience
that was supposed to be so much more urgent than training, but at
great (and I for one feel unjustifiable) cost. The classic state-
ment of the importance of training to CIA, signalling the end of
an era, appears in the Jackson Committee's report to the President
in mid-1953:
"The greatest limitation of effective covert activity is the
shortage of skilled personnel. Although the total personnel
strength of CIA is probably adequate, only a small part of
it is as yet qualified to plan and carry out covert operations
effectively and securely. The Committee recommends that for
the immediate future CIA give higher priority to training,
development of improved operating principles, and expansion of
its-pool of qualified operators. In making this recommenda-
tion the Committee recognized that such a policy might reduce
CIA's current capabilities. It would mean, however, that with-
in two or three years its capabilities for secure and effective
operations should be greatly enhanced."
No one ever tried very hard to refute those conclusions, because
by 1953 they were pretty well self-evident, and in fact we've made
a good deal of progress since then on all fronts. Some of the
signs of increased recognition of training have been the quotas
imposed throughout the outfit for minimum enrollment in OTR courses
the extension of the basic DD/P operations training from ten weeks
to sixteen, and especially this statement of DD/P policy in CS
25X1A ("Tours of Intelligence Officers as Instructors
e urrice of Training?):
"Clandestine derv:i.ces policy recognizes the rotation of quali-
fied CS Operations officers into instructional assignments in
the Office of Training as valuable both to the individuals and
to the organization. The individual acquires broadened skills,
a wider knowledge of the problems and workings of the Agency,
and in many cases new opportunities for interesting operational
assignments in the future. The Agency profits by passing on
the experience of veterans to its newcomers in training which
has steadily improved over the years.
"A tour as instructor in the Office of Training ordinarily
lasts 30 months. No change of career designation is involved,
unless the individual particularly desires it, and rotation
back into the Clandestine Services at the end of the 30 months

is effected as easily as any rotation within the Clandestine
Services. Consideration for future operational assignments
is not only not diminished by a, tour in the Office of Train-
ing but in many cases is actually enhanced."
2. The old backwater argument was what worried me most when I went
into OTR. But what happened was that I learned far more about the
outfit as a whole, how the parts fit together and why, than I ever
had in eight years in a single area division with the same old com-
plex, but after all fairly parochial, problems. I made first-hand
acquaintance' with DD/P concerns in the Far East, in Latin America,
and other parts of the world outside my previous narrow area special-
ization. My knowledge of a wide variety of operations, and of the
people who run them, increased greatly. Much of this came about
because I happened to be deputy director of Training, but the in-
structors similarly have been broadened by wide contacts. They rub
elbows with fellow-case-officers-turned-instructors from all over
the world, and get a much more comprehensive sense of the accumu-
lated experience of the Agency than they ever got in X Branch or Y
Station.
And the present method of instruction has also contributed to that
broadening. Those who took operations courses five or six years
ago will remember the artificial flavoring of the cases discussed
and the problems worked out. In the few instances where genuine
cases were used, they were sterilized to the point of being dull
25X1A6A and nearly meaningless : The locale would be changed from lI 25X1A6A
to or some other improbable spot, and most of a mea y
and significant details left out. But for several years now, OTR
has been able to use real cases with as much accurate detail as
there is time to cram in, and with so little sterilization that
both instructors and students know they are acquiring the real
stuff of Agency experience. The result for one instructor after
another has been acquiring new skills and knowledge in OTR that
fitted them for new types of assignments or new areas or both.
Some instructors, by being assigned to covert agent training, have
actually had more experience in handling agents than in any pre-
vious DD/P assignment, and nearly all get wide experience in deal-
ing with people in general.
3. It used to be true, because of the general reluctance to accept an
assignment in OTR, that if you once got in you'd have a hard time
getting out; nobody would come forward to replace you. But for a
couple of years now the rule quoted in the CS Instruction above has
been working to the advantage of the individual. Any man from DD/P
is eligible to rotate back into DD/P after thirty months, which is

S-E.-C-R-E-T
about the same length of time you'd spend preparing for and then
fulfilling any other tour. In a number of cases, by agreement be-
tween OTR and DDS/P when particularly pressing needs arise, the
tour doesn't even last the thirty months. Living up to this
rotation rule has often imposed a severe strain on OTR, but I know
of no case in the last three years where a man's importance to OTR
has kept him from accepting a desirable appointment in the Clandes-
tine Services. In fact ON has also rotated to DD/P many men who
never came from -there in the first place -- men hired and trained
as instructors by OTR, with the TR career service designation --
because the DD/P experience: will make them better instructors when
they return to their own home base, but also because the DD/P has
been keen to get them even if only for a tour or two.
4. Those wLQ ar, IS;. In the days of our most rapid expansion, when
only a handful could be spared from DD/P to conduct training, OTR
had to hire a good many instructors almost off the streets$ no
previous experience in CIA, no experience in any field quite like
CIA operations. You'd think such men would be poorly prepared to
teach our business, and equally poorly prepared for rotation into
responsible jobs in the field. Maybe they were, at first, but by
the time the rotation rule got going these. men had taken on a
breadth of knowledge that made them highly desirable, and in sev-
eral cases there has been a real free-for-a:1 competition for them.
(Note, by the way,, that a good instructor during one tour makes'an
impression on some hundreds of his colleagues, some of whom because
of lack of training in the early-days come to OTR as students after
they are already fairly high in the hierarchy. I remember, with-
out rancor, a division chief taking the Operations course several
years ago, and putting what he had learned about recruitment to
such ood use that he recruited one of the instructors on the
spot.) One such instructor without previous DD/P experience had
five overseas jobs to choose from when he was ready to rotate; a
number of others have had three or four good offers overseas or
in headquarters. The man who developed the war plans course now
has an excellent assignment in that field overseas. In the early
PM days, OTR hired many specialists to teach students who for the
most part didn't show up; then when some of the big PM jobs devel-
oped it was the instructors who were best qualified to do them,
and as a result they are now scattered all over the world. Other
instructors new to DD/P have become deputy chiefs of branches in
two area divisions, and have joined the FI, PP, and CI staffs.
As for those who I&I previous DD/P experience, let me give you
some case histories, to show you the types of jobs they were
wanted for after a tour in OTRx

a. Chief of an overseas base -o chief instructor in an OTR course
-i chief of station. (Two cases of this. Both, incidentally,
shared the old prejudice and thought their assignment in OTR
had been engineered by some enemy. But one of them told me
three months after his arrival, and again when he was yanked
out less than two years later to become a station chief, that
the chance he got in OTR to stand back and see Clandestine Ser-
vices work in perspective, to study new ways of going about it,
to put his ideas into orderly shape and test them against the
experience of others, was the best thing that had happened to
him in the outfit. He spoke as a dedicated DD/P man, who ex-
pects to spend the rest of his life in DD/P operations.)
b. Case officer overseas -* operations instructor in OTR -, sec-
tion chief overseas -; chief of a large area branch.
c. Branch desk officer (female) -).instructor -3 a senior admin-
istrative officer in a large station.
d. Chief of a small base -e instructor developing a new course -s
senior research analyst on a big project in a new field. One
of several who discovered in OTR a new activity that fitted
their abilities and inclinations better than the old.
e. Senior DD/P job -:0 senior OTR job -4 chief of a large station.
f. One-man station -- instructor in the Operations course -- three
firm offers. I don't know which one he took, but he turned
down the job of deputy chief of a large branch.
All those I've alluded to above are among the many men and women
who have rotated from OTR to DD/P in the last three years. So far
as I have been able to follow their careers I know they have been
doing well in the Clandestine Services. Not even the promotions
they won in OTR have damaged their chances of rotation, though I
used to worry about that; out of dozens of cases, I know of only
two who had to take a one-grade out to get the DD/P jobs they
wanted, and one of those got his old grade back within six months
because of his outstanding performance in the new job.
The senior officers of the Regular Army who led us in World War II
had in many cases spent much more than half their careers as either
students or instructors. Most of them entered the war without ever
having heard that famous shot fired in anger; certainly they had
not led large troop units under fire. Instead, they been instruc-
tors at the Command and General Staff School or Benning or Sill or

Knox. They knew, and their careers proved, the pointlessness of
the old canard, "those who can't, teach." It was precisely those
who in the Thirties were good enough to be appointed instructors
at Leavenworth who in the Forties were good enough to deserve all
those stars.*
Now we in the Agency have our own Fort Leavenworth - Benning - Knox,
and we also have an advantage over the armed services in that we don't have
to wait for a hot war to get first-hand experience. But even so, we're all
in training all the time for harder jobs to come, and we'd do well to recog-
nize, as the armed forces do, that the instructor's job is a central point
for service that improves the whole Agency's effort. And to recognize too,
not entirely incidentally, the rewards and opportunities open to the men
and women who are lucky enough to perform that service.
I heartily commend to you Comu4Lid Missions by General Lucian K. Truscott,
Jr., as one of the best books on the war but especially as a remarkable
demonstration of how long training, teaching, and fire-tested experience
combined to develop outstanding battle leadership. This great combat
commander entered the war entirely without combat experience. In 1940
he was a cavalry major who had spent twelve of the preceding fifteen
years in schools -- four as student, eight as instructor in the Cavalry
and Cozmand and General Staff Schools. But only five years later he was
a lieutenant general in command of an army, and later got his fourth
star. Amohg the junior-officer instructors at Leavenworth with Truscott
were (to give their later ranks): General Wade H. Haislip, General John
E. Hull, Lt. General Manton S. Eddy, Lt. General William K. Harrison, Jr.,
Lt. General Frank W. Milburn, Lt. General Lewis H. Brereton, and Lt.
General George E. Stratemyer. Eight instructors, twenty-seven stars.
Almost without exception the other instructors serving with them rose
to command at least a division. And other Army schools added to the
list: For example the founder and first instructor of the Armored
School was a Captain George S. Patton, Jr. Such men were appointed
instructors because they were fine soldiers, then they built on their
training experience to become outstanding.
