nature of the work done by NSA linguists When linguists work with different languages with materials in varying volumes and in various printed and spoken forms what duties do they perform in common and what duties are completely different Those questions were not specifically posed in the mission originally assigned to the Language Analysis TasK Force LATFO when it was created in 1975 Instead that mission simply stated was to analyze and validate the NSA Career Service Occupation System as it applies to NSA personnel in the Language Career Field 12XX But during hp 1 mnnths of its existence LATFO Chairman I found these two unstated questions con$tantly coming up In interviews with Agency linguists and in our subsequent discuss1ons we found that certain functions could easily be fitted into logical categories but others just didn't want to work that way As a result of these divergences our interviews and discussions ranged far beyond the limits of our stated mission and by the time LATFO submitted its official report we had gained many revealing insights into the facts of life as faced by the average NSA linguist if such a person exists Some of these insights pertained to our mission and found their way into the of- I ficial report that we sU9mitted to the Task Analysis Steering Committee But others pertained not to the specific mission but to the overall philosophy of language occupation at NSA We considered these insights to be outside the purview and mission assigned to LAFTO and accordingly did not include them our official report But since these incidental ideas were deemed to be too valuable to simply throwaway I took it upon myself to present them in my own way in a special memorandum to ADPS as an individual report by the B Group member of LATFO It 1S that memorandum which has served as the basis for the article which follows I must state at the outset that most of the ideas expressed in this article are my own and I take full responsibility for them But I cannot take full credit for all of them because the background experiences and knowledge of my colleagues coupled with the stimulus and criticisms that flowed freely in some of our heated discussions effectively sharpened my own perceptions and personal views The LATFO report was an investigation into what NSA's linguists -- that is people -- do In the following pages I hope to show the other side of the coin the vital role that foreign languages play in the production of COMINT reports January-February 77 CRYPTOLOG Page I P L 86-36 CONFI9ENTM I jl tNBj E VIA 681lHi'f 61l lNHB

the translator and transcriber are not at ll equal Many good translators have poor au al comprehension and do poorly at transcribing voice tapes and some of them decline to do it at all because transcription work can be monotonous and boring However any good transcriber s a general rule of thumb has the added capa bility of translating if he knows the English o language some of our native-born linguists have trouble translat ng into English which is after all their second language I have dwelt heavily on the language aspects of the above analytic disciplines the report ers come later with their differences and distinctions because so few NSA managers seem to have a clear understanding of the fact that knowZedge of a foreign Zanguage is the key ingredient for most of NSA's end product They tend to look upon language knowledge as a simple tool that can be turned on or off by the flip of a switch and something that any reasonably intelligent person can learn with a little study 'But that just ain't so This misconception is I believe responsible for much of NSA's language problem L - NSA management needs to understand that knowledge of a foreign language is a difficult skill acquired by hard study in an educational environment and sharpened by on-the-job experience In this respect it is no different from any other' learned Skill such as mathematics engineering computery or whatever One can even say that the only valid way in which the knowledge of a foreign language can be called a tool is if tool i s used in the sense of a scalpel in the hands of a competent surgeon who must possess a precise knowledge of the entire human body many specialized surgical instruments the properties and effects of different medicines and a thorough awareness of the damage that may ensue if his knowledge and treatment are incorrect or inadequate January-February 77 CRYPTOLOG Page 2 NIBbE VIA S8tIHI'f S NItIU6 81lbY DOCID 4009790 1 4 c L 86-36 CONPIBEN'fIAL The use of foreign languages as a tool is likewise dependent upon the skill of the practitioner whicH is the sum total of his training experience background knowledge in related fields drive imagination and not least his knowledge of the English language and his ability to express ideas in written form It is in this latter situation that we see a subtle shift in management's perception of the relative importance of the linguist's role visa-vis the reporter's role to the detriment of the linguist In that shifted perception the reporter's end-product output is deemed to be more important than the linguist's output which made that report possible This has resulted in a widespread feeling that reporters enjoy higher status and in the last few years the higher-grade promotions appear to have gone to the reporters as a group It's the field to be in if you want to get ahead is a frequent comment I have heard often from reporters themselves This is probably due to the very human tendency of supervisors and managers to know best -- and to reward - those with whom they are in most frequent contact and whose work they review January-February 77 CRYPTOLOG Page 3 CONfIBENCfIAL oI

working on developing an accurate inventory of the Agency's linguists for over two years This on-again off-again effort had as its genesis the attempts by A B and G to have their independent accounting systems adapted for DDO-wide use More recently the LAC realized that there was a critical need for an accurate inventory of Agency language skills Accordingly a subcommittee of LAC was

Bostick in his letter in the November 1976 CRYPTOLOG I must be doing or thinking something wrong On page 18 of the November issue under the heading Sensitive materials you say you'll go all the way to TS CW but draw the line at compartmented You imply that codewords are not exclusive or sensitiv What I ask is COMINT CHANNELS if not a compartment Having chief'ed the NSA SPO SAO function a couple of years ago I learned early and attempted to spread the understanding of the fact that three compartments exist in the intelligence community Most of us acknowledge two Few in the cryptologic community however label COMINT CHANNELS as a compartment In fact we are so accustomed to seeing HVCCO and codewords that they are considered garden variety caveats this ain't right P L 86-36 Editor's reply Sorry but we too made the mistake of implying that COMINT material is not a compartment As you know it is common practice here in the Agency to speak of compartmented information as something other than COMINT We hope that the following revised wording improves the situation while still being suitable for our unclassified Contributions Solicited handout F8 18 To the Editor CRYPTOLOG In answer to
