ENROLLMENT 8 to 18
DURATION Two weeks - 4 hours each morning (40 hours), plus from
10-15 hours' unclassified reading outside Scheduled class
time
LOCATION Headquarters
The course is for persons from all major components at all levels
through GS-14 who are directly responsible for personnel at the first
working level. The objective is to orient the first-line supervisor to
the responsibilities and authority which are characteristic of first-line
supervision throughout the Agency. Presentations at the GS-13 and GS-14
level are titled "Supervision for Intelligence Officers" and are specifi-
cally geared to those individuals whose main responsibility is substan-
tive research but who also have some management responsibility as project
leaders or who otherwise direct other analysts or technical personnel.
The course assumes that most students are carrying their own pro-
duction workload, and that supervisory responsibilities are in addition
to, and not in place of, their substantive, technical or production
assignments. Particular emphasis is given problems of person-to-person
relationships as the supervisor meets them in his responsibilities for
training, communicating, planning and disciplining. Selected aspects
of organization, leadership and control are also dealt with.
Each successive course is offered to a specified group, for exam-
ple, GS-9 - GS-12, so that supervisors of a given general level of
responsibility work together and so that specific course content can
be adjusted to the needs and capacity of the participants. A limited
number of non-supervisors being prepared for supervisory positions can
be accepted.
The course content includes: reading, lectures, and group dis-
cussions of problem cases. Through these means students are guided
in applying basic principles of sound management to the situations in
which they are working.

TITLE Basic Management
OBJECTIVE Effective management at the Branch Chief supervisory
level
PREREQUISITES Top Secret clearance
GS-11 through GS-15
ENROLLMENT 8 to 20
DURATION Two weeks - 4 hours each morning (40 hours), plus 10
to 20 hours of unclassified outside reading
LOCATION Headquarters
The course is aimed primarily at the level of the Branch Chief, b t
is open to personnel above and below that level. Each successive course
is offered to a specified group, for example, GS-12 through GS-14, so
that supervisors of a given general level of responsibility work together.
Students in the course are assumed to have at least one lower echelon of
supervisors under their direction; for example, section heads. It is
presumed that substantially full time on the job is spent in management
activities (planning, directing, coordinating and controlling), rather
than in direct substantive work. The course covers elements of manage-
ment which are common to middle levels in DD/I, DD/S, and DD/P.
The course contains the following major elements: (1). a highly
generalized job analysis of middle management responsibilities in the
Agency; (2) a limited amount of general doctrine current in the field of
management; (3) discussion of specific management techniques in use in
Agency components; and (4) group analysis of problem situations and of
case histories.
At every point the course emphasizes the student's responsibility
for translating his own background of experience and the information
exchanged in the course into the terms and problems of his current job
assignment. He is encouraged to define his problems as specifically as
possible, to select a line of attack, and to undertake his own solutions.
The 40 hours of the course span two weeks in half-day sessions, so that
participants may maintain daily contact with their offices and apply
ideas of the classroom to the job situation.

Intelligence Techniques is a course designed to give instruction and
training primarily to Junior Officer Trainees and other new professional
employees who will be engaged in the processing of intelligence materials.
The course is scheduled to follow immediately after the Intelligence Orien-
tation course.
In Intelligence Techniques the emphasis is on "learning by doing."
In lecture-discussion periods students are instructed in methods of proc-
essing information for a variety of intelligence purposes. The'techniques
are then applied in a series of exercises, such as preparation of 25X1
report; abstracting or extracting information pertinent to a particu ar
problem from a number of related documents; writing intelligence briefs,
memoranda, and special articles. Practice is also afforded in the oral
presentation of intelligence through a series of briefings on selected sub-
jects and problems of current strategic intelligence. In order to obtain
experience in intelligence research methodology, each student selects an
intelligence problem and reports the results of his research.

Methods and techniques in developing the speed and level of comprehen-
sion, with emphasis on flexibility and comprehension requirements, are the
focal points of the course.
In developing a wide range of reading techniques and in defining com-
prehension requirements, the student is instructed through lectures and
discussions on the best techniques for scanning, extensive (informational),
and intensive (technical) reading. This is followed by student practice,
using diverse techniques in various reading situations. Practice includes
supervised exercises and reading of individual and group selections of varied
content at controlled rates. Good perceptual habits are developed by in-
creasing the span of recognition, establishing control over regressive eye
movement, and eliminating vocalization.
Approximately thirty percent of the course is devoted to lectures,
instructions, and practice exercises in the three types of reading. Forty
percent of the training provides practice with the Reading Rate Accelerator.
The remaining thirty percent of the course is divided equally between
tachistoscopic training and special films.
A retention program, designed to ascertain long-range benefits, is
conducted eight weeks and twelve months after the course.
Satisfactory completion of this course fulfils the prerequisite for
enrollment in the Advanced Reading Improvement course.

. This program serves as a preliminary analysis for the Reading
Improvement course. The analysis of the employee's reading proficiency
in scanning, informational and study reading tasks determines how well
his reading skills are adapted to his job reading requirements, and indi-
cates the areas in which he could improve.
A half-hour conference with each employee informs him of his strengths
and weaknesses in reading, and provides a basis for self-improvement.
Upon request, the program is scheduled and adapted for any Agency
component with specialized job reading requirements. Through consulta-
tion with the office concerned, a program is outlined so that employees'
reading performance can be analyzed'on the basis of their job reading
tasks and materials.

As the second phase of the four week course, Intelligence Orientation,
it is required for all intelligence officers and such other officer person-
nel as are concerned with the support of Agency activities. As a separate
course, this phase will normally be prerequisite to further courses in the
School of International Communism and the USSR.
This course provides a basic introduction to the International Commu-
nist Movement. The major section is devoted to the background of the move-
ment, with particular emphasis upon its origins and appeals, and the sig-
nificance of its doctrine; its general organizational concepts, with emphasis
upon the current structure of both the open and underground Parties; and the
tactics employed to increase Party influence and power and to carry out in-
surrectionary activity.
The course also provides a brief orientation on the USSR, both charac-
teristics of the USSR as a national state, and the role of the USSR in the
International Communist Movement. The principal events of Soviet histori-
cal development, the interrelationships of the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union and the Government of the USSR, the Soviet economy, Soviet military,
scientific and clandestine capabilities, and current Soviet objectives are
emphasized.
A briefer section is given to coverage of the development of the Com-
munist Party China and the current status of Communist China in the Inter-
national Communist Movement.

LANGUAGE (INTERNAL)'
Introduction
1. Ability to use the languages of foreign peoples is essential to
individuals in the business of foreign intelligence. Agency-sponsored
training in language exists because the effectiveness of every intelligence
officer depends as much on his possessing appropriate knowledge in this
field as on his professional or technical knowledge.
2. The quantity and types of desirable knowledge vary considerably
for different individuals and depend on the assignments and functions with
which they are charged. Language courses and programs are designed to meet
all types and degrees of need. These range from orientation or indoctrina-
tion to solid academic programs designed to provide advanced fluency in a
foreign language.
3. Internal language courses listed in this section are either regu-
larly offered or are available when four or more students are available.
It is sometimes possible to offer courses on a one-time basis in a variety
of other languages by utilizing qualified Agency personnel loaned to OTR
for this purpose, or by employing consultants for intensive short courses.
Courses are intensive (full-time), semi-intensive (half-time), and part-
time.
4. Intensive, full-time courses are available at three levels: basic
(including summer workshop for some languages), intermediate and advanced.
A special course in Applied Language for Intelligence Officers, DD/P, is
available. The basic course varies in duration from 20 to 48 weeks (plus
7 weeks for summer workshop); the intermediate and advanced courses, 13 weeks;
the Applied Language;, 6 weeks. Each intensive course is conducted by a lin-
guist and one or more native speakers. Use of the Language Laboratory is pre-
scribed. Available relevant area training is prescribed for all students, in-
cluding area training in the language for intermediate and advanced students.
The total program in each language should give the student useable fluency in
speaking, reading, comprehending and writing, and a basis for development of
advanced fluency when in an environment permitting continuous use of the language.
5. Semi-intensive (half-time) courses meet for two hours a day for two
ten-week phases. Both phases are necessary to acquire limited useability.
They are conducted by a linguist and one or more native speakers. An addi-
tional three hours of supervised study and drill and one hour of outside study
are expected of each student. Satisfactory completion of the two phases should
permit the student to meet ordinary social-travel situations, and provide him
with a basis for developing fluency through further systematic study and exten-
sive use in a foreign environment.
6. Part-time courses (as distinct from semi-intensive) are designed to
meet limited, specific needs created by specialized functions within the Agency.
These courses do not aim to provide comprehensive competence in all aspects of
language use. Most of these courses aim to develop only a reading ability for
use as a reference and research tool.

AREA (INTERNAL)*
Introduction
1. The Office of Training has developed a program of internal
courses on all foreign areas with intelligence significance for the U. S.
Those courses which are available are listed at the end of this introduc-
tion. Additional courses will be announced as they are established. The
courses are arranged within these categories.
2. Basic Country Survey:
An introduction to the study of the sociological, political and
economic factors, which historically and currently influence the culture,
attitudes, development and foreign relations of each country with which
the United States is concerned. Each survey course deals with either a
country of major interest, or a group of coon- 25x1
tries, such as Indo.-China. Each course consists of sixty (60) hours of
classroom instruction, supplemented by directed outside reading, and is
open to personnel engaged in intelligence collection, operations, evalu-
ation, or support in connection with the country or countries covered.
3. Regional Survey:
An introduction to the various regional aspects and developments
of significant groupings of foreign countries, such as Arab States or
Southeast Asia, the emphasis being directed toward the regional integrity
or interrelationship rather than the component parts. Each course focuses
on a grouping based upon political, economic, cultural or strategic fac-
tors and is designed to meet the requirements of the intelligence commu-
nity. Each course consists of sixty (60) hours of classroom instruction,
supplemented by directed outside reading, and is open to personnel engaged
in intelligence collection, operations, evaluation or support in connection
with the region covered.
1-. Americans Abroad:
An introduction to social customs, significant cultural and lia-
tional attitudes and sensitivities, traditional and current attitudes toward
foreigners, and other matters affecting overseas duty in a given country
or area. Each course focuses on the peculiar conditions and problems af-
fecting personal and professional effectiveness in that country or area.
Each course consists of fifteen to eighteen (15 - 18) hours of instruction.
These courses are designed for all employees going to a country or area
for the first time, and for their dependents, and for personnel who will be
working with nationals from those locations.

5. Current Problems Survey:
A seminar program will be designed to develop a sharper appreci-
ation of the elements and factors involved in the discharge of intelligence
responsibilities, through the study of a specific phase of the political,
economic or sociological aspects of a foreign country or area. Each course
will consist of from twenty-four to thirty-six (2k-i- - 36) hours of seminar
discussion and occasional lectures, with a senior person experienced in the
field of intelligence production and evaluation as a moderator. Supplemen-
tary reading, group conferences and the preparation of seminar, papers will
be required. The courses will be designed for those who have completed an
appropriate BCS or RS course or the equivalent thereof, who have had at
least two years in the country or area concerned, or equivalent desk duty
at Headquarters, and who are judged to have the other necessary qualifica-
tions for participation.
6. Omnibus Program:
This program consists of the appropriate Basic Country Survey
course or Regional Survey course, and the Americans Abroad course, plus
language training, constituting full-time training of ten weeks' duration.
Supplementary reading, preparation of papers, and laboratory drill are re-
quired.

LANGUAGE AND AREA (EXTERNAL)'
Introduction
1. These offerings are not all-inclusive. External language and
area training may be pursued at nearly all universities in the United
States and at many overseas. Virtually no programs or courses are identi-
cal even though the subject may be the same. Final selection of institu-
tions, and dete1?mination of programs, are made by the Office of Training
on a basis of the stated objectives for training. It is expected that
most needs for external language and area training will be met by courses
and programs described in the Catalog, or by other programs later announced
by the Office of Training. Only when required training is not obtainable
through any of these programs, and is not available through other scheduled
courses in academic institutions, should special, unscheduled programs be
developed.
2. Requests should be submitted not less than one month, and prefer-
ably three or more months, in advance. A few of these courses are availa-
ble only once a year and others only twice a year. The languages in
greatest demand, however, are available several times a year. To assure
accommodations for. Agency employees, therefore, planning in some cases
should be done much in advance, and early consultation with OTR is advised.
3. On an individual basis, area specialist programs can be developed
for persons concerned with almost any area of the world. These programs are
intended, however, only for exceptional employees whom it is desired to de-
velop as rounded language officers with advanced fluency in all aspects of 25X1
the language or as advanced area specialists.
4. Personnel from the Department of Defense, Departpent of State, and
other Government agencies artici ate in these ro rams.
5. Except for the Area Analysts Program, the Area Specialists Programs
include one to two years of language and area study overseas. Offices spon-
soring individuals for these programs should plan field duty assignments to
follow immediately the training period, for a period to total a normal tour
of duty in the area. (Exception: USSR Program)

MANAGEMENT (EXTERNAL)
1. American businessmen have gone to the universities for help in
studying the problems inherent in the growth of huge corporations. The
responsibilities undertaken by both business and Government executives in
our generation far exceed the expectations of fifty years ago. One re-
sult has been the inauguration of intensive training courses and seminars
for men in senior executive positions, which are now conducted on nearly
a dozen university campuses. The objective of these courses is to make
the corporation executive a better man for his job and to prepare him
for the assumption of still greater responsibility. Courses range in
duration from six to twelve weeks and are held variously from once to
four times a year.
2. Because the management problems of big Government are similar
to those of big business, many officers of the Federal Government have
attended these sessions in recent years, both as students and teachers.
The Office of Training considers some of these courses to be effective
in preparing qualified Agency employees for future advancement. The
oldest, longest, and most intensive of these programs is the one con-
ducted twice yearly at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Adminis-
tration, where one Agency representative has been accepted for each of
the last seven courses. The Agency has also sent men to the similar
program conducted by the American Management Association in New York.
3. A brief description of the announced objectives of the principal
advanced management courses follows, with a statement of the prerequisites
for enrollment. Copies of the announcements of the current sessions of
these courses may be consulted at the Language and External Training
School, as well as others not included here.

"The AMA Management Course is based on the concept that management
is an activity in itself, having an accepted body of principles to guide
its actions and utilizing common skills and tools in the performance of
its functions. The course provides a unified foundation for more com-
petent performance at any management level, in any type of activity, and
in any branch of business. It helps the participating executive do a
better job in his present position and also prepares him to assume still
wider responsibilities."
*The course consists of five units, each taking one week to complete.
The course subject matter is covered in the first four units, and the
fifth unit is a clinic for the study and improvement of on-the-job appli-
cations which the course registrants have introduced in their companies.
All units must be taken in numerical sequence; the first four may be
attended either in consecutive weeks or with intervals between, over a
period of 12 months.

"The Stanford Executive Development Program is designed to afford
certain values which individual company plans ordinarily cannot offer.
First, the program provides an integrated coverage of the important
fields of management. Second, the course is conducted in an atmosphere
conducive to concentrated application, removed from the customary in-
terruptions arising in an office or plant. Third, opportunity is pre-
sented for interchange of ideas with a group of selected executives from
various parts of the country, from a variety of business enterprises,
and from different operating backgrounds or fields of functional interest."
The Executive Development Program is intended as a supplement to
company plans and not as a substitute for the necessary in-company train-
ing "on the job for the job."
