The reduction in Field/Headquarters correspondence and the elimination of burdensome Agent accountings represents substantial cost savings to everyone concerned. Cost economies of this type are all the more meaningful and welcomed since BALPA reductions have made teal a continuing effort to reduce adcr inistrative workloads in the field. By minimising and in most instances eliminating the need for field contact between the Agent and Station officers for purely adrnints- trative purposes, the security of the individual Agent's unofficial cover device has been enhanced which in itself is a : ubstantial benefit derivin frocr this program.
