As mentioned in the previous month's progress report,

in late October AMICE-27 and AHTRUNK-14 made their decision that

they could not continue in the AlTRUNK operation under the guide

Jines followed up to the present, l.e. that all rocruiting and

planning for the fulfillnent of the MIAPRON objectives of the

ANTRUNK operation within PBRUMEN would remain on a person-to person

or agent-to-agent basis and could not at this time be conducted

under the aegis of the political organization as conceived by

ALICE 27.

Efforts to winnow AMICE-27 away from the clandestine

mechanism of the ANTRUNK operation culminated on 19 November when

Andrew K. REUTEMAN and Irving N. PEGGINS held a discussion with

AMICE-27 in which AMICE-27 agreed to participate in and confine

his activities to the radio program which had begun transmission

conmunications with AKTRUNK-9 and -10 and to redirect and ro

juvenate their efiorts toward the kEifZON objectives of the

overall operation.

In addition, AlICE-14 would attempt no sore

than two selected recruitnents and rould attempt to obtain

additional information on two other important KHAPRON target

personalities.

The decision was made during the same week of 18 Noven-

ber to bring into the operation two radio operators who had ro

cently completed their basic radio training.

During the December

operation, one of the radio operators, AlAKA-1, would accorpany

AMICK- 14 and the two boatmen, ANTRUNK-7 and -s, on the Boston

Whaler to provide rapid communications between the ANTRUNK inf11/

exfiltration area and JliAVE.

The other radio operator, AHAGREE-..

would begin tradecraft training with ANTRUNK-13 in early. December

to prepare for a January infiltration.

Either or both radio

operators could then be used to provide a comminications link with

the infil/exfil area

on an operation of short duration or could

bo iniiltrated for a longer period of time to function as con-

municator for either AUTRUNK-9 or -10. AMICE-14 will also explore

with both AiTEUN-9 and -10 the possibility of their recruiting a

qualified radio telegraphist who could be trained in KUBARK's Bys-

tem of i/l' to remain in place.

In preparation for December, ANTCE-14, AMAKA-1,

and

AHTRUNK-7 and -8 received naritime refresher training and ran

additional tests on the 16' y" Boston whaler during the week of

25 November.

Daring the month, OlVl messages 5 through 8 and S/W mes

sage #l were sent to AMTRUNK-9. His S/W message #2 dated 6 Novem

ber was roceived at JiWAVE on 30 November. S/l message #3 was

gent to AHTRUNK-11 On 5 Novenber and S/M message #2 to AXTRUNK-12
