17. Remarks (By SAC):

It is recommended that this surveillance be maintained for an

additional period of ninety days and such will be done UACB.

Obviously the quality and quantity of information received from

this source has decreased from its peak three years ago, however,

as is set out in number 9 it can be seen that information of

interest to the investigations

of this office continues to be

obtained through this source.

In addition, it is pointed out that

there is no expense involved

in monitoring

this source for the

reason that the same employees who monitor other surveillances

on the same subject easily and with a minimum of effort monitor

this source. It is further pointed out that there does not appear

to be any risk involving the security of this source, except that

risk which would hecessarily be attained in any operation

involving an entry to retrieve the microphone.
