PORTION OF THESE (OVER 20?) WERE IN SUPPORT OF 7HE IRAN
SITUAI"ION. WHICH THE ~IOINT (,HIEFS OF STAFF RATED AS BEING
QUALITATIVELY E:QI.IAL TO THOSE OF OTHER INTELLIGENCE SOURCES
AVAILABLE TO THEM.
BCCAUSE OF THE TURMOIL THAT HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED
WITH THE PROJECT, WE HAVE NO"l HAD A STABLE PERSONNEL SITUATION.
(CHART CHANCE) IN 1979, CG INSCOh1 FORMED A TASK FORCE

ASSIGNED. BY 1.9$1. WF WERE READY TO EXPAND AND RECRUITEx) 2 NEW
PERSONNEL FOR TC~AINING IN 7~HE PROJECT, BUT BY THE END OF 19$1.
