As you are aware, OTR has had a standing request with the Military
Personnel Division for three military officers to be assigned to the
25X1 Agency as nstructors To date, recruitment 25X1
efforts have resulted in the acceptance of one officer. As a result of
25X1 recent discussions with Qofficials., the two remaining recruitment

lation is dissatisfaction with the qualifications of the
candidates nominated. If future developments indicate, these recruitment
requests can be reactivated.
