There are a for key pont

a quota of personnel from each of these Services* I
for these fee key positions* officers of the training and experieme
which / require* as this, training and experience is acquired only hy
rather senior General or ?leg Officers whose numbers on the active list
are limited* The obvious solution is to maple, prefeeeionallY and
phrs40.117 qualified retired officers* but the somicalled dual commas-
Mae statue makes it impossible for me to obtain the services of any of
those she are released for reasons other than for physical disability*
and pbywical disability would in most capes he a disqualifying defect
fres the CIA point of view. Thu, the Ofternment is precluded from
utilising in a very important field the services of certain highly
qualified individuals lumbago training the MAW states has a very
considerable investment and who are capable of performinz highly
important functions of particular =warn to this Agency by reason
of meth training.

or their gmernmant foolery. Unfortunately* this legislation failed in
the last swim due to the lack of time for conference, althouzh
most
Identical bills poised, both the rouse and the Senate. T now
understand that similar legislation has been introduced in the senate*
but T em tad that it will be many month, before ita final mosso,
