7. COMMENT:
INTELLIGENCE BATTALION CONTACTS. THE .CREATION OF
.THE NEM UNIT HAS BEEN PROMPTED LARGELY AS A RESULT OF THE
SUBVERSIVE PENETRATIONS. PARTICULARLY OF THE HONTONE,ROSt
WHICH ARE CONTINUALLY BEING DISCOVERED WITHIN FEDERAL SECURITY,
THE LATEST INCIDENT BEING THE DISCOVERY OF THREE MONTONERO
PENETRATIONS AMONG FEDERAL SECURITY INTELLIGENCE AGENTS
ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO THIS IS A.SITUATION WHICH CALLS INTO
QUESTION THE ENTIRE PROCEDURE OF SELECTION, INVESTIGATION,
HIRING, TRAINING, ETC. OF AGENTS. THE NEW UNIT PURPORTEDLY
WILL IN EFFECT AWN FEDERAL SECURITY'S OPERATIONS AGAINST
THE MONTONEROS TO BE SEPARATE FROM THE REST OF FEDERAL
SECURITY, ACTIVITY,' THEREBY MAKING THESE OPERATIONS MORE
SECURE AND EFFECTIVE.)
