MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Functional Training Division
SUBJECT Proposed Courses for FY 1976
1. The attached course proposals for FY 1976 are in
response to your request. After reading just today your
memorandum of 2 July on the subject and nonparticipation
in any subsequent staff discussions you may have had made
me slightly unsure of the language thrust. But I trust I
shall hear from you if some adjustment is necessary.
2. No doubt further refinement will be forthcoming
on the IPC, and a new course or two may be added in the
near future. I suggest, however, that concrete proposals
for new courses at this time are premature. Refinement
of the report and further feedback
from the intelligence pro uction offices are prerequisite
to moving ahead.

COURSE NAME
Intelligence Production Course (IPC)
COURSE OBJECTIVES
1. To help the young professional become more knowledgeable about
various facets of the production of finished intelligence: information
requirements; sources for collection and exploitation of needed information;
processing, storage, and retrieval of intelligence information; analysis,
interpretation, and presentation of the finished product.
2. To explain the role of CIA in the intelligence production cycle
and the relationships of the Agency with other components of the
intelligence community.
3. To afford opportunity for limited orientation on certain new
methodologies in the analysis of intelligence information, including the
use of the computer.
4. To help the student understand the role and significance of
intelligence support to national security decisionmaking.
ORIGINAL REQUIREMENT
The Intelligence Production Course was established in the late 1950's
as the basic in-depth orientation to the intelligence process with
emphasis on intelligence production for those career trainees who were
being assigned to the production units in the Intelligence Directorate.
Initially the IPC ran for up to three months duration and required
a faculty of 10 professionals to handle the heavy emphasis on methodological
exercises. By the late 1960's the course was reduced to seven or eight
weeks, and in 1974 reduced first to seven and then to approximately five
weeks. The requirement remains valid for FY 1976.
COURSE AUDIENCE
The course serves selected career trainees who have opted for a
career in the Intelligence Directorate and junior professionals nominated
by their components for an in-depth examination of the topics covered
by the course. Selected new professionals who are already assigned to
collection, processing, or analytical activities in the Directorates
of Intelligence,~& Science and Technology, and Operations are invited
to attend after the group of career trainees in current classes are
enrolled. The grade range of students has been GS 8-12. No meaningful
data are available on eligible personnel, but estimates on the number
of analysts at all grade levels range up to -including a CT STATINTL
potential of 60-70 per year.

COURSE NAME
Intelligence Writing Techniques Course for Career Trainees
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The course familiarizes career trainees with major intelligence
writing and analytical reporting concerns of the DDI. Students are
furnished samples of key intelligence production of selected DDT offices,
and must complete writing assignments based on actual, current intelligence
information from these offices. They are also involved in an extensive
intelligence coordination exercise based on a large, current collection
of :raw and finished intelligence information, and they participate in
an examination of analysis and intelligence production with members of
two panels from major DDI offices.
ORIGINAL REQUIRHVIENT
The course was instituted in mid-1971 as a successor to the
Intelligence Techniques Course for Career Trainees. That course
represented a long-standing effort to provide career trainees with an
overview of the DDI. The presentation was handled by teams of instructors
and ran for 3 weeks. Its major weaknesses were lack of focus, uneven
quality of instruction, and an apparent inability to adapt course
content to the rapidly changing conditions of DDT responsibilities.
The successor course is handled by only one instructor, is carefully
aimed at the most vital areas of the DDI mission, brings the students
in close working contact with current DDI raw information and finished
intelligence, and exposes career trainees to the actual, on-going
analytical and production activities of the Intelligence Directorate.
This requirement is valid for FY 1976.
COURSE AUDIENCE
Career trainees who have completed the Intelligence and World
Affairs Course. Approximately 70 to 80 individuals are eligible each
year, depending on the size of the two annual career trainee classes.
In most instances the grade range is GS 8-9, but has been as high as
GS-:12.
STUDENT MAXIMUM/MINIMUM
Class size is dictated by the size of each career trainee class,
but generally fluctuates between 15 and 20 students.

COURSE NAME
Writing Better Reports
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The course attempts to improve the students' understanding of the
principles of effective Agency writing and provide them (a) a better
grasp of the analytical processes and associated problems in writing for
CIA and (b) a clear understanding of key elements in good writing
practices, as these are applied in the various Agency directorates.
Students are expected to master such aspects as clarity, accuracy,
logic, and structure. They are further required to complete several
assignments based on actual, current documentation from different
Agency components.
ORIGINAL REQUIREMENT
The course was developed from the Intermediate Writing Workshop
in early 1971. The old course had been little more than an elaboration,
frequently redundant, of the remedial basic writing workshop. The revised
course, renamed "Intelligence Writing Workshop," developed into an
intensive mission-oriented instruction that focused on the various
approaches to writing in the four CIA directorates. Course content
now reflects as accurately as possible the writing needs of the Agency.
This requirement is valid for FY 1976. The Intelligence Writing Workshop
was renamed "Writing Better Reports" in July 1974 to eliminate a widely
held misconception that the course is aimed only at the DDT.
COURSE AUDIENCE
The course serves virtually all those components employing personnel
in the professional and subprofessional levels whose duties encompass
writing responsibilities. Grades generally range from GS-07 up, although
individuals with lower grades are accepted if they are slated by their
supervisors for professional-level work involving writing. This course
is not concerned with basic remedial areas of grammar, spelling, or STATINTL
rhetoric. Approximately Agency employees are therefore eligible
to enroll in the course.
STUDENT MAXIMUM/MINIMUM
The maximum number of students for any one running of the course is
10 to assure adequate individual counseling by the instructor. The
minimum enrollment is set at six students, except for the midsummer
(July) running of the course, when the minimum number is four. Leave
schedules in July tend to reduce enrollment, but those who do attend
the course usually need the training for urgent and high-priority
assignments following the conclusion of the running. It would not be
equitable or practical to delay attendance by such personnel until the
October running of the course.

Original Requirement . In June 1970, the DDA Problem Solving Seminar
recommended to management their idea for a new
course for Support Directorate clericals in basic
consideration of vertical and horizontal communica-
tions, teamwork, and trying to do more with less.
They achnowledged that some of their proposals
had Agency-wide ramifications. The result of this
group's recommendation--"The Office Management
Seminar"--does in fact involve the four Agency
Directorates and the Office of the DCI.
During the latter months of 1973, the Director of
Training discussed with the DDA a proposed training
course for senior secretaries.
Then in April 1972 an Office of Training Weekly
Activities Report item was submitted to the DDA with
a progress report on the designing of the course.
A proposed two-page memo for the DDA from the DTR,
subj. "Proposed Training Course for Senior Secretaries,
dtd. July 1972, with background information about
the course was written. It was decided by Mr.
Rodriguez that we need not send the memo forward, as
he had verbally briefed the DD/A.
The Office Management Seminar had an original sub-
scription of approximately 188 employees in the
GS-08 to GS-12 senior secretarial range. As of
May 1974, 119 employees had attended. Therefore,
the original schedule of six runnings per year was
cut to two runnings a year beginning FY 75 and
continuing for FY 76.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, Curriculum Committee
SUBJECT FY 1976 Schedule of Courses
1. Your memorandum of 1 July 1974 requested a
variety of data and my recommendations on courses which
the Intelligence Institute will conduct in FY 1976.
This information is contained in the attachments to
this memo.
2.. At the present time I do not envisage any new
course offerings nor any basic changes from the schedule
of courses which we are conducting in the current fiscal
year. You should keep in mind that the current program
does reflect a variety of changes adopted since the
courses were conducted in FY 1974. These include a
rewriting of objectives of each course to show what
the learner should know at the course's conclusion;
revision of the Trends and Highlights into separate
courses for Directorate careerists and for Career
Trainees; and a restructuring of the old Overseas
Orientation into the new Preparing for Overseas
Assignment course. Additionally, our course reviews
have produced a good deal of change in content and
methodology in the IWA, Midcareer and Senior Seminar.
3. One major problem area is touched on briefly
in the attachment covering the Midcareer Course. The
present schedule of six runnings per year of the Midcareer
Course results in an interval of only two working days
between runnings at four different times in the year.
Thus, staff members may at some point find themselves
concurrently completing a previous running, conducting
a current running, and actively planning for a future
running. Not only is the workload heavy, but a con-
siderable amount of confusion is generated, not the

least of which is on the part of guest speakers and their
secretaries. I am not at this point convinced that running
six Midcareers a year is infeasible and am reluctant to
recommend a change in the face of the heavy demand for this
course from throughout the Agency. Should our experience
with the Midcareer Course this Fall, however, show an un-
acceptable level of stress on the staff and significant
problems arising from confusion generated by the crowded
schedule, I plan to recommend a change in the number of
runnings for FY 1976. I wish to a,

Proposed Course for FY 1976
Course Name: CIA Senior Seminar
Course Objectives:
1. Members of the CIA Senior Seminar should
gain a broad understanding of pressures and
problems facing CIA management, process of
change within the Agency and trends affecting
its external relationships.
2. Seminar members should acquire insight into
their role as managers and sharpen their
appreciation of others with whom they work
or have contact.
3. Seminar members should increase their knowl-
edge of current U.S. foreign and national
security policies and those developments
abroad which are CIA's intelligence col-
lection and analysis targets.
4. Seminar members should obtain an under-
standing of issues and trends in American
society which are relevant to CIA as an
organization.
Original Requirement: The need for a senior Agency course
became apparent in the late 1960's to the then Director of
Training. He observed that an increasing number of qualified
Agency applicants were being turned down for senior government
courses because of the limited number of slots. Further, the
external courses lacked direct applicability to Agency work
and interests. Accordingly, in December 1970 he proposed, and
the Director approved, the establishment of a senior course
for Agency officers on a par with State's Senior Seminar in
Foreign Policy and the top-level service schools, but with
its focus on CIA-related business, activities, and interests.

Based on the evaluations and feedback from the approxi-
mately 100 senior officers who have participated in the five
Senior Seminars run between September 1971 and June 1974, the
original requirement was proven valid and remains so today.
:[n addition, the initial runnings of the Seminar were care-
fully scrutinized by top management before it was established
on a regular basis. The Senior Seminar is now the apex of
OTR's core courses.
Course Audience: The Senior Seminar is a course which
accommodates both the generalist and the specialist from
any component of the Agency. The original profile of the
senior officer population from which participants would
be selected showed well over = officers of grade 15 or
higher who were under 53 years of age as of July 1971.
As officers from this pool have attended the Seminar,
its total potential is held fairly level through promo-
tions and transfer. For the past two runnings, the DDO
has not nominated numbers commensurate with its size.
The issue has been raised for Management Committee review.
Student Maximum/Minimum: The Senior Seminar is limited
to 20 maximum and will. not run with less than 15.
Proposed Number of Offerings: Course schedules are now set
in a twice a year schedule of a mid-September beginning
(nine weeks prior to Thanksgiving) and a running which
begins about 10 March.
Length of Course: The course runs nine weeks but can vary
two or three days depending on holidays.
:Instructor Personnel: For one running of the course as
follows:
STATINTL 1. - 20 x 2 runnings = 40 weeks
2. M 26 x 2 runnings = 52 weeks

Proposed Course for FY 1976
Course Name: Midcareer Course
Course Objectives:
Midcareer Course members are expected to:
1. Gain a broad understanding of the Agency as a
whole, the Directorates and components other
than their own, and issues of current concern
to Agency management.
2. Increase their knowledge of the other elements
of the Intelligence Community and the policy
making process.
3. Obtain insight into national and international
developments of significance that bear on the
US foreign intelligence effort.
Original Requirement: The concept of a training course for
middle level officers to broaden their professional horizons
was first brought forward in 1961 by the then Executive
Director. The first running was held in October 1963. After
more than 11 years and 42 runnings, the original requirement
is as valid now as it was in 1961. With a strong endorsement
of the DDA, the number of course runnings has been increased
recently from four a year in FY 1973 to five in FY 1974 to
six in FY 1975.
Course Audience: Participants in the Midcareer Course are
middle level officers from all Directorates and the Director's
Area representing all professional skills. The grade range of
the attendees is from GS-12 to GS-14. There is no good esti-
mate of the number of personnel eligible for the course, but
demand from each Directorate remains high.

Student Maximum/Minimum: Each running of the course is
limmite d to thirty students. Directorate quotas are estab-
lished by OTR according to the distribution of GS-12 to
GS-14 employees.
Proposed Number of Offerings: In FY 1975 the course is
offered six times per year and the starting months are
August, October, November, February, March and May. As
past experience indicates that a summer running has dis-
advantages, six runnings require a compressed schedule;
some runnings have an interval of two working days.
Length of Course: The course is five weeks long, full
time. The first two weeks are held at = and the last
three weeks are conducted in the Chamber of Commerce
Building.
Instructor Personnel Devoted to the Course: Each course
offering requires two staff personnel for twelve weeks
each to properly plan, administer and conclude each
running. Thus, six runnings a year require a full-time
team of two instructors to run four classes--one, three,
four and six--and "relief" teams to handle the second
and fifth classes. The increase in the number of runnings
to six has created significant staffing problems in the
Intelligence Institute. Two and one-half man-years of
instructor personnel are required to administer this pro-
gram effectively. One Training Assistant is required full
time; she needs additional assistance at various times,
particularly when she is handling different aspects of
three courses at the same time.
If our experience with the three runnings this fall
shows too much stress on the personnel and an unacceptable
frequency of significant problems, I plan to request a
reduction in the number of runnings in FY 1976 to five,
instead of the six indicated above.

Proposed Course for FY 1976
Course Name: Advanced Intelligence Seminar
Course Objectives:
Starting with a brief overview of significant develop-
ments and problems facing CIA and its place in the Intelligence
Community, members.of the Advanced Intelligence Seminar should:
1. Increase their knowledge of selected inter-
national trends that affect US foreign policy
and national security interests; and
2. Obtain an understanding of important issues
and problem areas in American Society which
are relevant to CIA and to its personnel.
Original Requirement: During 1968 and early 1969 the DTR
authorized the then Intelligence School to develop a new
course by revamping the two-week Intelligence Review. This
new course was designed to "stretch the minds" of a more
senior level of Agency professionals by making them aware
not only of significant changes in the Agency and Intelligence
Community but also in the international world. The first AIS,
a two-week running, took place in November 1969, with about
35 students, and was scheduled on a twice-a-year basis.
In 1971 the AIS was expanded to 2-1/2 weeks and was run
three times with some 25 students per running.
In 1974, in order to avoid overlap with the Midcareer
Course, the AIS was modified in substance to: (1) concen-
trate the attention of the Seminar on increasing member's
knowledge of selected international trends and (2) on
obtaining their understanding of important problems facing
American society.

Since 1971 Senior Seminar--which attracts applicants
of more seniority--meets the needs of many professionals
who formerly would have attended the AIS. However, the
changes in the AIS in 1974 and the continuing interest
of applicants for each AIS running up to two times the
approximate 25-member limit--suggests a strong require-
ment for the AIS. It should be noted that of the total
number who have taken the AIS, there are relatively few
who have also taken the Midcareer Course or who go on to
take the Senior Seminar.
Course Audience: The AIS is designed to serve all com-
ponents o the Agency. In the last running in June 1974,
there were nine members each from the DDI and DDO, with
six and four respectively from the DDA and DDS&T. The
average grade of the members was just under GS-14, the
average experience of each student in the Agency was
18 years, and the average age of the participants was
45 years. Those attending the AIS are generally senior
analysts, branch chiefs, key staff and support officers.
Eligible for the course are those in the grades of GS-13
(minimum) through GS-15, with occasional GS-16's.
Student Maximum/Minimum: The AIS aims to have an average
_0'f 25 students per running with a maximum of 28 and a
minimum of 20. The mean of 25 is optimum for providing
a. good measure of discussion and participation by the
Seminar members.
Proposed Number of Offerings: Three runnings of the AIS
e~ac fiscal year. As members of the Senior Seminar also
conduct the AIS, the schedule of both must be meshed.
The best spacing of these runnings in FY 1976 would
probably be: (1) last week of August into early September;
(2) late January or early February; and (3) June. In
FY 1975 we are running a course in December followed by
late January and June runnings.
Length of Course: The present length (2-1/2 weeks) seems
to well received and efficient. This permits the initial

overall half-week out-of-town for a general briefing on
major Agency and Community developments, followed by a
week each in the Chamber of Commerce Building on foreign
and domestic issues of significance to Agency professionals.
Instructor Personnel: About 1-1/5 man-years is devoted to
t o running of the AIS in each fiscal year:
1. OTR Coordinators - 24 weeks each for two
coordinators during the fiscal year.
(8 weeks per course)
2. OTR Training Assistant - 14 weeks during
the fiscal year.
3. Chief, Senior Seminars Branch - approximately
3-6 weeks of supervisory time devoted to the
course during the fiscal year.

Course Objectives:
A member of the Intelligence in World Affairs course is
expected to:
1. Gain a basic understanding of CIA, its organiza-
tion and functions, and a general grasp of other
elements in the Intelligence Community;
2. Become familiar with the fundamentals of intelli-
gence and the relationship of the intelligence
process to US foreign policy;
3. Acquire a limited degree of knowledge about
important operational and analytical factors,
significant problems of intelligence concern,
and key intelligence targets of the world.
Original Requirements: This is the basic orientation course
tor professional emp oyees. Its origins go back at least to
the early 1950's. This is the one OTR course required of all
new professional employees by Agency regulation.
Course Audience: Course participants are drawn from new pro-
Essiona employees with less than two years Agency experience,
normally GS-07 through GS-15. We believe that most employees
with more than two years have in fact been oriented, and recom-
mend they attend CIA Today and Tomorrow. The participants are
drawn from all Directorates and include all professional back-
grounds and skills. The number of personnel eligible for the
course varies depending on the level of recruitment and the
promotion of clerical or sub-professional employees to pro-
fessional status. In addition, there are 60-80 Career Trainees
each year who are required to take the course.

Length of Course: Three weeks, full time.
Instructor Personnel Devoted to the Course: Assignment of
instructors to the Intelligence in World-7ffairs course has
been flexible and on a rotating basis. Each running of the
course averages about 28.0 hours. for the Course Chairman and
240 hours for the Co-Chairman. This amounts to. two (2). man-
years of professional time and clerical time accounts. for
approximately three-fourths of a man-year.

estimated.
Original Requirement: The USSR Country Survey course has
E~een presented since 1957 to provide substantive background
on the most important target area for intelligence collec-
tors, analysts and those engaged in their direct support.
A recent survey confirms the requirement for the course.
Course Audience: The USSR Country Survey course is designed
to serve all components of the Agency, particularly the DDI
and the DDO. The course is designed for those persons working
on Soviet related matters. The grade level of attendees has
been between GS-5 and GS-15. There is no estimate of the
number of Agency personnel eligible for the course.

Proposed Course for FY 1976
Course Name: CIA Today and Tomorrow
Course Objectives: Personnel attending this course should
acquire a general understanding of recent developments and
future trends in the Agency and the Intelligence Community.
Original Requirements : Developed by an OTR Task Force in
1972, this course was presented for the first time in
March 1973. The course was designed to meet the needs of
large number of employees who require periodic updating on
Agency programs and developments, particularly personnel
who have returned from assignments outside the Headquarters
area.
Now being run in the Headquarters Auditorium, it attracts
an audience of between 200-300. High-level speakers from each
Directorate, as well as the DCI, usually participate. With an
annual audience of 1000, the program has already proven its
value. The need for a short, general orientation program
serving a large CIA audience is as valid for FY 1976 as it
was in FY 19 73 .
Course Audience: The attendees consist of a sizeable number
o returnee s, those who have not taken a training course
in many years, and those who have not had an opportunity to
take such courses as the Advanced Intelligence Seminar or
the Midcareer Course. We are making an effort to redirect
nominees to the IWA who EOD'ed two years earlier or more,
into this course as a substitute. A wide range of Agency
skills and grade levels are represented. In recent courses
the grade range has been between GS-05 to GS-17.
Student Maximum/Minimum: There are no prescribed minimum/
maximum figures for t is course. Any enrollment over fifty
(50) would have to be held in the Auditorium. A maximum

 Approved For Release 2000j$4t,78;WQ,OfQO2-4
enrollment of 300 or more would place severe administrative
strains on the staff and the facilities.
Proposed Number of Offerings: In FY 1975 we will have run
the course four times. Our recent experience with the 15-17
October running and the data derived from the Annual Personnel
Plan indicates that three runnings per year in the Auditorium
are sufficient. It may be that the backlog of personnel
waiting to take the course has leveled off. Accordingly, we
propose to schedule this course in October 1975 and in March
and June 1976.
Length of Course: Three days, full time. A fourth day for
DDO personnel only has been conducted by the Intelligence
Institute since 1973.
Instructor Personnel Devoted to the Course: Each course
usually requires two to three instructors on a rotating
basis. About 80 hours is needed for the planning and
administration of each course for two people and 40 hours
for the third. If the course is run four times per year,
this amounts to a little less than one-half (1/2) of a man-
year of professional time. About one-third (1/3) man-year
of clerical time is required. The fourth DDO day requires
a proportionate amount of effort.

Proposed Course for FY 1976
Course Name: Administration Directorate Review: Trends and
Highlights
Course Objectives: The Directorate of Administration careerist
attending this course should increase his knowledge of current
activities, problems and trends in the Directorate and its
various offices.
Original Requirement: This course began in 1966 as a means of
updating Support Directorate careerists on developments within
the Directorate. This requirement is still valid for FY 1976.
Course Audience: The course is designed for DDA careerists in
grades GS-09 through GS-15 and senior secretaries GS-06 through
GS-08. Personnel with less than two years experience with the
Agency should not be enrolled in this course. Attendees. at the
course ordinarily represent all the professional skills associ-
ated with the Administration Directorate. A limited number of
careerists from other Directorates are also invited to attend.
An estimate of the number of personnel eligible for this course
is approximately t 15 percent.
Student Maximum/Minimum: Class size should not be less than
25 students nor more than 55 students.
]Proposed Number of Offerings: The course is offered four times
a year in June, Octo er, January and March.
length of Course: The course is four days, full time. Students
are expected live at =during the running of the course.
They are also expected to attend the evening sessions that are
an integral part of the course.

Instructor Personnel Devoted to the Course: Efficient
running of the course at requires assistance to the
Chairman in the form of a co-chairman or training assist-
ant. The Chairman should devote three weeks per class in
the planning, administering and wrapping up of the running.
If the assistant to the Chairman is a professional, the
total devoted to courses amounts to approximately one-third
(1/3) of a man-year annually. About one-sixth of a man-year
of clerical time is spent on the course.

Proposed Course for FY 1976
Course Name: Administration Directorate Survey
Course Objectives: The Career Trainee completing this course
shou un erstan in considerable detail the missions of the
various elements of the Directorate of Administration and
how they support the Agency in the conduct of its various
activities.
Original Requirement: The course was designed specifically to
meet the. special needs of Career Trainees and provide them with
exposure to the DDA.' Originally, Career Trainees were enrolled
in the then Management and Services Review: Trends and Highlights
course. In early 1974, however, the then DDM$S indicated his
views in a course that consisted primarily of DDA careerists
with much more Agency experience than the Career Trainees. The
first running of the Administration Directorate Survey course
was held in August 1974 in the Chamber of Commerce Building.
Course Audience: Participants in this course would be limited
solely to Career Trainees.
Student Maximum/Minimum: Each running would consist of an
entire class, probably about 40 students.
Proposed Number of Runnings: Two runnings per year, one in
May and once in September.
Length of Course: Three days, full time.
Instructor Personnel Devoted to the Course: The first running
oT the course required about 140 hours o planning, preparation

and administrative time on th.e part of the Course Chairman.
Subsequent runnings may reduce the amount of time required
but a reasonable estimate would be approximately one-sixth
(1/6) of a man-year of instructor time devoted to this pro-
gram. Clerical time required for this course is negligible.

Possible Course for FY 1976
Course Name: Dependents Orientation Course
The Administration Directorate Advisory Group has
recommended to the DDA that he consider establishing a short
orientation course for spouses of new Agency employees. The
Chief, Intelligence Institute on 17 October prepared a
memorandum for the DTR to send to the DDA suggesting that
the proposal be adopted to the extent that we conduct
experimental runnings in March and May 1975. Based on this
experience, the DTR would then recommend to the DDA whether
or not the new course should become part of the regular OTR
curriculum.
The degree of interest by spouses of new Agency employees
in such a course is not known. The actual demand for such a
course in view of problems associated with working spouses,
babysitting, and transportation problems further cloud the
requirements picture. We would enroll 40 in the experimental
offerings; we do not know at this point how many regular
runnings would be required per year.
Our present plans call for running this course using
only OTR personnel, existing films, and other training aids.
Films which might be used would include Need to Know, Future
Shock, Damage Report, the Printing Services firm, and possibly
The Director's we coming address filmed for the IWA. Detailed
plans for the course have not as yet been developed, but it
is likely that would be assigned the task of
organizer and administrator. Now that Joan has conducted the
POA a number of times, her current workload would permit her
assignment to this new course. In this connection, her
experience with spouses attending the POA should also be
valuable.

Instructor Personnel Devoted to the Course:
Since the bulk of instruction is conducted by guest lecturers
from outside OTR, only 1645 man hours of instructor time (instruction,
preparation, administration) are devoted to each running of the course.
Assuming three courses per fiscal year, the total man years of instructor
time is 2.3 man years.
