the development and recruitment Of Seig agents on a modest. and coreselective basis. We are attempting to acquire at least a few moreaddresses which can be used under various ne=s; for exam-pie, the pensionowners, and in addition will continue our s potting and assessing; effortsso a3 to provide a backlog of possible assets to meet any emergency rocuits-meet that might arise. Although Sc could well intensify our spotting andrecruiting to meet increased needs, particularly if the Berlin situationworsens, se must necessarily balance our expansion effort against caseofficer strength available to handle existing end future! assets. At curpresent rate of expansion we anticipate we may seen reach a level ofapproximately 40 accommodation addresses, not S/1 incensidereblo lead ton-two case officers who are also occupied with other duties.

8. CON=T: We regret very much our tardiness in propel-inn SSa

forwarding this Progress Report. This belatedness is due mainly to aocmplete changeover in ease officers during the reporting period. Somechanges have obviously taken place since this report was prepared, butrather than attempt to revise it we decided to hoid to the cutoff dateof 30 September and note subsequent developments, some-of which have ho enotherwise reported, in the next Progress Report- Se plan to submitfuture Progress Reports on a quarterly basis.
