CIA Director Adm. Stansfield Turner.So when Adm. Stansfield Turner quickly tired 820 Clandestine Services officers last year, my initial approval (some of those fired, I thought, must have been the people who make zou decide to leave tas CLA in 11173) gave way to misgivings. It's true that the greaust physical hazard many spooks have ever faced is the danger of cho'ting on the pit of the olive in their martinis. Itut the greatest hazard we all face in life te pot physmal danger, it's having something eat away at our soul. No one bas to be a clandestine operator, of course, but once ha 11, he is deprived of the normal means of sustaining his sofinagathit prevails in our society.I don't can Turner should have kept on Licompetents! I'm sure that after those 820 firings everybody elza at Lanelay feit bitter and frightened. These are not, after all, people who have anything else to fall back on, and they need a lot of rapport from their organization. Turner has to use these people, and if he wants to use them effectively to ought to find a way of lofting some go while making the rest feel secure.The author, I se article is reprinted from The Fan ingam Monchig, is a former high CIA.

# SECRETER-113817 June 1968MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, Clandestine Services CareerService Board (Panel A)SUBJECT : Joseph B. Smith - Recommendation forPromotion from GS-14 to GS-151. Mr. Smith joined the Headquarters Training Branch of the OTR Operations School in October 1966 specifically to assume responsibility for Covert Action training. He spent the first few months in a thorough study and review of all CA courses previously given in OTR. This was a long and complicated job, compounded in part by the public compromise of a wide range of Agency CA activities. In closest coordination with the CA Staff, Mr. Smith devised a totally new and different CA curriculum, consisting of two short seminars for middle and senior grade officers - one called a Covert Action Operations Seminar and one a Politics Workshop. These seminars, emphasizing the integrated nature of CS operations, have evoked a very positive response, confirming the soundness of Mr. Smith's creative efforts in revamping CA training in this fashion.2. As a corollary to the main duties cited above, Mr. Smith has also successfully run, in conjunction with FE Division, a Psychological Warfare Operations Course for military officers being assigned to MACV/SOG in Saigon. Finally, in the CA field, Mr. Smith has provided tutorials, as requested by various area Divisions, to a number of Staff and Contract Agents and to foreign liaison representatives in such fields as black radio, youth and student operations, veterans organizations, and methods of countering Communist propaganda.3. In February 1968 Mr. Smith was asked to assume responsibility as Tradecraft Advisor and Coordinator for the Operations Support Course, a critical block of instruction for (primarily youngSECRET
[104-10291-10001.pdf — page 20]
SECRETand inexperienced) CS clericals headed for overseas assignments where they may be called upon to assist case officers in operational support tasks. Although, strictly speaking, this teaching and coordination task was outside Mr. Srnith's normal purview and main area of expertise, he accepted this additional responsibility with exemplary willingness, and then proceeded to discharge it smoothly, energetically, and effectively. In addition to managing an extensive live problem, the Tradecraft Advisor must ensure that presentations by a number of instructors result in a balanced and coherent coverage of all operational subjects in the course. This entails the coordination of efforts of several senior and experienced instructors, all under the nominal aegis of the course's Chief Instructor, and, thus, demands a great deal of finesse and tact. Mr. Smith has not only fulfilled this difficult role in a highly efficient manner but has also drawn on his own long field experience for pertinent and meaningful contributions to the course.4. During Mr. Smith's tour with OTR, he was requested to participate as a member of a Survey Team in a review of the effectiveness of the Propaganda Group of the CA Staff. In a 30 June 1967 memorandum of appreciation to the Director of Training, Chief, CA Staff commented as follows on Mr. Smith's work:> "Throughout Mr. Smith participated in a most effective professional manner bringing to bear his extensive background in the Clandestine Services. His direct and objective approach to the problems considered in the course of the survey made his contribution to the overall Team effort invaluable. The Team report, which I am still in the process of discussing within the Staff, will be of considerable value not only to this Staff in our future planning but also, I feel, to the future posture of the covert propaganda mission of the Clandestine Services; thus, I heartily commend Mr. Smith for his effective participation with the Survey Team in this effort,"- 2 -SECRET

# SECRET5. In his last two fitness reports Mr. Smith has received a "Strong" rating and the Chief of the Operations School as reviewing official has added his opinion that Mr. Smith has done his job with distinction and with credit to himself and his career service, citing the assignment to OTR as a first-rate example of quality in rotational tours. While Mr. Smith passed on his expertise through the training process, he also enhanced his own versatility through involvement in the various training activities cited above.6. In recognition of the foregoing, it is felt that Mr. Smith is qualified to carry out the duties of the GS-15 grade for which he is recommended. Mr. Smith has been in grade 5 1/2 years.![signature of C.M. Broutsas]C.M. Broutsas,Chief, Headquarters Training/OTRCONCUR:![signature of Charles B. Wheeler]Charles B.

# SECRETMEMORANDUM FOR: Director of TrainingSUBJECT: Statement of Appreciation - Mr. Joseph B. Smith1. We wish to take this means and opportunity to express formally and for the record the appreciation of the Covert Action Staff for the work of ur. Joseph B. Smith as Chief Instructor for Covert Action of the Headquarters Operations School in the Office of Training during the past two years.2. As you know, Mr. Smith worked closely with the Covert Action Staff in totally revamping the Headquarters covert action training program. It was through his efforts that the new intensive Covert Action Operations Seminar was introduced as a technique of instruction to replace the outdated Covert Action Operations (Familiarization) Course. He carried his basic concept one good step further in introducing the Political Action Workshop as an advanced forum for studying and applying covert action operational and planning techniques. Mr. Smith's work has also laid the groundwork for more specialized follow-up in covert action training.3. The enthusiastic reception and endorsement of these two courses, the quality attendance by Division officers, and the participation by senior Division officers as speakers, attest to the need for new courses and the success of these endeavors.4. Those of us who had the opportunity to work closely with "Little Joc" learned to appreciate his vitality, flexibility and personal commitment to the success of these training innovations. The contribution they have already mado, and will continue to make, to the Agency's training program are testimony to the role that he played in dovising and implementing them.CA-68-904
