have it sufficiently well trained
to ensure that there is no Hiatus when the AIT goes. You will appreciate
the great need and scope here for all types of hearts and minds
operations, also that much of the teams efforts will have been wasted if
their work comes to an end in may without replacement. There are many
problems to be overcome in providing Government replacements, not the
least of these will be finding suitable rank and file. I appreciate that
for various reasons the retention of all the personnel of the present
team is likely to be impracticable. However, clearly the more members of
the team who can be kept, the more continuity there will be. Bnds.
3. The Governor and CBF are both convinced of the value to the Colony of
this effort and have CINCFE full support in making this request for
their retention.

My telno 1608: Army Information Team.
Although the A.1.T. has only been operating for two months it has
already made a considerable impact on the local population and is making
a valuable contribution to our 'hearts and minds' programme.
2. I am anxious that the type of work being done by A.I.T. should
continue and in due course intend to replace it with a similar
government unit. It will not of course be possible to do this before the
A.IT. is scheduled to leave at the end of May.
3. May I therefore request that the A.I.T. tour be extended until 31 May
1969 by which time the government unit should be ready to take over.
