(b) Memo dtd 8 Mar 68 to DD/S frm Ex DirComp, same subj. In response to your memorandum of 13 March, and after careful con- sideration of the Inspector General's recommendations as well as the Executive Director's comments in reference (b), I recommend the follow- ing as your response to the Executive Director: "1. In reviewing the Executive Director's clarifying memo- randum of 8 March, I concur in principle with the Inspector General's Recommendation No. 5 concerning the need for periodic reviews of the Agency training effort. In compliance with the in- tent of the recommendation, and recognizing the responsibilities of an already over-burdened Agency Training Selection Board, I propose the following alternative to ensure that the Agency's total training effort is carefully monitored: "a. Survey all Directorates to ascertain that the Office of Training has appropriate information on all training con- ducted within these Directorates. (Substance of an initial survey covering training objectives and specialized training is charted as an attachment. ) "b. Name an ad hoc working group of appropriate OTR personnel, the senior training officer of the Directorate con- cerned, and the training officer of the component concerned to examine each training program for suitability of objectives, substance, training methods employed, the source and quali- fications of instructors, and the quality of the instruction. "c. Request components to coordinate the concept and development of new courses with OTR and obtain approval of the Director of Training before implementation. Approved For Release 2006/11 GR~ P84-00780R002100180006-6 ~ Ex.' ~tlF r ~~ j Approved For Release 2006/11P84-00780R002100180006-6 "d. Name an ad hoc working group of OTR and component personnel, together with the senior training officer of the Direc- torate concerned, to conduct a yearly survey of each component's training effort. 're. Require each component concerned to provide the Director of Training, with approval of the respective Deputy Director, a semi-annual report on its training activities to include: (1) Change in content or objectives of a given course. (2) An evaluation to determine whether the objectives of a course were met. (3) Number of course offerings and number of em- ployees trained during the six-month period. (4) Costs of training. "f. Submit a copy of each approved semi-annual report, cited in para 1(e) above, to the Executive Director-Comptroller. "2. The above procedures have the advantage of a committee composed of officers in similar environments of actions and responsi- bilities examining the training efforts of the components, thus assuring a more profitable investment of time. The procedures also permit use of OTR's School and Staff chiefs and chief instructors who have exper- ience in developing new programs, refining objectives, evaluating per- formance of students, applying instructional techniques and who have been exposed to new training technological developments. Findings of the working groups, with approval of the Deputy Directors concerned, thus will provide an umbrella review of the complete training effort.
