In paragraph 8(b) of the Draft (jrder, it is felt that misinterpre-
ations may result from the word "consistent" in line 3, when read
- with the wording of the listed items of pertinent information.
e have noted that the types of information set forth in para-
raph 8(b) are not limited to those listed therein. However, we would

security agencies. Therefore, it is suggested that consideration
should be given to the insertion of the word "person" after the word
;group'' in this sub-paragraph.
