and two assistants, plus KIBITZ agents 108 through'173 being managed by KIBITZ 15, a former German army officerwho has demonstrated great talent and organizational ability.Of KIBITZ 15 1 s unit, consisting of 73 agents, as of 30 November1951 26 of these agents were under development. It is anticipatedthat 12 to 15 staybehind teams will ultimately be formed bythe KIBITZ 15 complex. Only one team is, however, ready at thepresent time for the assignment of equipment and signal plans.
