There are enough jobs that need doing at AEM to occupy her full-time and there- fore the immediate partial withdrawal from AEM work is a prerequisite to the accomplishment of these assignments. Because L-1 has played euch a key role in all AEM activities, and therefore in determining the direc- - tion and scope of these activities, her sudden with- drawal could result in important changes within AEM. Any major change in direction by AEH would probably become predictable once the identity of the person or persons who will move in to fill the vacancy left by L-1 become known, By having L-l] step aside now, rather than waiting until she is ready to leave Mexico, she may then be able to provide Station with an ac~- curate account of any change resulting from her with- drawal. L-2 has not been met regularly since 25 January. On t that dateshe was given a mailing address which che uses to request a meeting only if he has information to. report. L-2 igs paid on a piece-rate basis for infor~ mation supplied and does not receive a regular salary. -3-
