4. REPORT OF FINDINGS
On 13 July 1983, Source CL-01 was interviewed concerning
two areas identified to him as "A" and "B" within a group of
unidentified buildings.
£
Source stated substantially as
follows:
Area "A" was a multi-story building, perhaps four floors,
which contained offices for some sort of internal police force
(not further identified) .
Military personnel in civilian
clothes occupied offices in area "A" .
Many of these personnel
were young (not further identified) . Some of the offices in
area "A" were large rooms with desks, telephones, and file
cabinets. Source described
the
telephones
as being
switchboard operated and as being used for an internal phone
system in conjunction with "security, management; control ."
The telephones were black and had very thick, heavy bases and
small handsets. The file cabinets contained personnel folders
or files of people with names and other data (not further
identified) .
In another section of area "A" (not further
identified) there may have been jail cells or rooms with
bars.
Activity in area "A" consisted primarily of internal
security, visitor control, and administrative management .
There was also a training aspect (not further identified) to
the activity in area "A" .
Area "B" was a
multi-story building, perhaps 5 floors,
which was divided into two sections. The upper two floors
were offices or rooms with many women at desks with what
appeared to be typewriters. Source described the typewriters
as "standard type manual typewriters ."
Source stated that the
desks had no drawers and appeared very similar "one desk to
another ."
Source summarized his comments of this section by
stating, "very much like secretarial pool, much activity,
typing." The lower three floors of area "B" were classrooms
These rooms had bench type tables and blackboards.

4. REPORT OF FINDINGS
no equipment in these rooms and their primary purpose was for
lecture .
Here, students received lectures on "operation
theories and foreign techniques of some kind" (not further
identified) . Source described the students as being young,
specially selected, "all handpicked, specific backgrounds,
family, acquaintances ."
The students all had a "striking
resemblance in outlook ."
This similarity was evident as a
nationalistic zeal.
The students were dressed in civilian
suits but they felt awkward in this clothing as if this was
not their normal attire.
In reference to both area "A" and "B", Source stated that
these buildings were not new and that the activities within
the buildings were not new either. In reference to the entire
group of unidentified buildings in the immediate area, Source
stated that there had been a recent, perhaps within the past
five months, reorganization. The change had to do with "upper
echelon
command and management of some kind of field
controls ... some significant change in flow or type of flow of
information that's targeted" (not further identified) .
No further amplifying information concerning SUBJECT was
obtained from Source during this interview.
AGENT'S NOTES :
Information provided by Source relevant to
descriptions of rooms or offices may be accurate independent
of their locations within buildings. Source is sometimes
unable to accurately relate the position of rooms within
buildings, or the position of a building within a group of
buildings, due to the nature of his access to a targeted area.
