Declining Performance? A Two-Day Brush-Up Course
Abstract
Agent 151 started out being operated by the Third Section of the First Division to work on the democratic parties. In 1961, we discovered that Agent 151 and counter-revolutionary element Zhao XXX, who had been plotting to restore the old order, taught in the same middle school. In order to keep all of Zhao’s ongoing activities under surveillance, on 3 July 1961 we borrowed Agent 151 for operational use. Judging from what has been learned in this case from our direction of Agent 151 for more than five months, and the intelligence we have been able to develop, Agent 151 has already been able to connect with the target, maintains a positive relationship with him, and is able to obtain information on his activities.
