and a TALENT clearance. The difference in the nature and
quality of these clearances is not one of difference in standards,
since they apply substantially the same standards, but a dif-
ference in certification. Accordingly, those already cleared
for TALENT prior to entering AQUATONE operational bases
must be certified as AQUATONE cleared. This will be
accomplished by submission of names of those to be assigned
to IPCs through the Headquarters' parent agency and to the
Headquarters AQUATONE. Notification of AQUATONE certi-
fication will be made to those requesting through the parent
agency ZI to the Commander IPC in question as well as to the
Detachment Commander or his representative who will in fact
be responsible for proper indoctrination of such cleared
individuals.
