We have a number of avenues being approached, any of which could be most productive.

This will not work a hardship on the special squad and will amount to a reduction of 16 2/3 percent of the squad. If approved, I will instruct SAC Moore to phase out five Agents and one clerical employee by the end of this week, They can get 4 their dictation and assignments in shape so they will be able to return to their ” 1 from Tampa The Agent personnel will be as follows: 2 from Little Rock 1 from Atlanta 1 from Charlotte yen Y 27.
