The Nuclear Weapons Orientation Advanced Course
previously scheduled to run 14 - 19 February and

addition. All courses are held at DASA's Sandia
Base.
The purpose of the NWCD is to acquaint selected
military and civilians (GS-12 and above) with critical
details of nuclear weapons design, and test results
required as a basis for decision making affecting the
design of nuclear weapons systems. It will also
familiarize students with the U. S. nuclear weapons
program and capabilities and with the organizations
responsible for, and the procedures involved in develop-
ing, maintaining, and employing the capabilities.
4. For the FSI Area Seminars beginning 5 October, we
have the following employees enrolled; Africa, Sub-Sahara -two
(OBGI, OER); Communist China -six 4NPIC); Latin America -one
(OCI); and Near East and North Africa -one -
5. We had three employees enrolled in the IBM S/360 OS
Workshop Course beginning 28 September, two from RID and one
from OCS. The cost of the program is $1, 500. 00 per person. Upon
being asked to sign the one-year Training Agreement, the two
RID students refused. Their reason; "they couldn't decide on such
short notice what they were going to do with their lives for the next
year. " The RI Training Officer explained the conditions of the
agreement, that t:he continued service was with the Agency and
not necessarily RID, etc. Both have been canceled from the
course. The OCS man was reassigned and no longer needs the
course so he, too, canceled.
6. T:he next National Interdepartmental Seminar (NIS} is
scheduled for 2 November. All Training Officers have been
informed of this running and the schedule through next May via
the Weekly Newsletter.
