11/27/67: Telepouch from COS, JMWAVE to Chief, WHD (Info: Chief, WH/COG, and Chief, WOGAME): "No later than January 1 1968 LNYAPA Headquarters be told that (CIA) no longer requires AMSWIRL-1's services...Through remainder of this fiscal year and/or as long as JMBAR continues to function, recommend that we continue to utilize AMSWIRL-1's services when needed. We should make clear to all concerned however that no utilization we make of him in the forthcoming period, simply because he happens to be available, should interfere with LNYAPA planning to transfer him elsewhere at their earliest convenience.
