1. Before proaeeding to detailed eonteent an lir.
C--11Posoreselys report, I would like to say that, in gen-
eria, it is ono of the most informed and nature reports
shish fro have resolved from former field representatives.
Neel of its erltleisne are eonpletely valid, although In

larger proportion of the time of the *sports Officer was taken
up by Greek siatore. The Sear last Section also out the ditto
stencils for its reports.
4. The oritleisna made in paragraph C, page 2, are
valid, although the reason for then took r4ot In the slow dc-
of personnel to the field. Ivory geographic section
In Cal,' was undermanned, at least by fully competent personnel.
It might also be mentioned that Mr. Young was a poor
administrator, In that be kept his office in his heads The
situation Improved remarkably when Captain Else became /Executive
Officor? but even thee Kr. Young attempted to do too mush by
himeelt. This was doubtless a hangover from the days when Mr.
Young eels practically alone in the office and was toxoid to
ma all adninIstrative functions. Additional personnel. in
Cho fora of Services men, briefing officers, conducting officers.
eta., would have relieved the sonfusion immensely. Unfortunately,
sash mon, partIoularly with a knowledge of Greek as well as
Znglisk, were practleelly unobtainable.
S. Tha criticisms outlined in peragreph D. page 2, have
been frequently repeated and have predneed definite changes in
training technique. Unfortunately, these changes cane almost
too lots to be reflected in the fiold work.
The writer, as chict SI in Cairo, took up with Com-

appeared to be greater. The lick of the war room was felt in
Cairo but cumpetent trained imrsonnol were not available to the
Cairo offiee.? A war room in 033 has unfortunately been looked
open as dispensable luxury.
6. Ir. DmBardeleben 1-4,-4 pointed out that the oriticiam
stated In parseraph cv page S, with referenoe to vagueness in
totes of employment* has been *arrested. It should be pointed
out* however* that Greek agent* were signed off in Athens when
the operation *lased with a minimum of difficulty, and, to my
knowledge at least, wiUt no ?loins of any major natures It is
aotrially astounding that the Greek operation was wound up and
eompleted without such claims being made. It speaks well for
the devotiou of the Greek agents to that very desk personnel
which sae careless lu the definition of its arrangements with
the agents. So fortunate a situation has not existed in many
other countries*
As regards briefing, it is true that briefing had to
be done by desk personnel* none of whom had actually been in
the field. Under such cireumstanaes, briefing appears to be
academie. Rowewer* illiACO no 033 personnel had, at that time,
over been in the field* it vas impossible to oorreot this fault.
