   13 Dec 1979
   1. (U) On 11 Dec 79, MAJ Stoner, OACSI, requested I provide him with
   a status report concerning our involvement in the Iranian situation as
   he had been tasked by the ACSI to brief him on the situation.
   2. (C/NOFORN) At 1345 hrs, 12 Dec 79, 1 left the following input on
   MAJ Stoner's desk (he was unavailable) after briefing COL Capps about
   the input and getting his approval to leave the data:
   'l. We have been involved in the IRANIAN hostage situation since
   23 Nov 79. So far we have provided JCS (LTC Lenahan) 17 reports
   covering 18 sessions. We have conducted a total (as 6-ftoday) of 24
   sessions. Thus, we still have 6 reports awaiting typing.
   '2. The following "evaluation" data comes from LTC Lenahan and is strictly
   subjective on his part. Using the following categories, this is how
   he evaluates the individual sessions:

   "14 of 1711 reports provided some sort of value"
   11collectively your reports have been extremely valuable"

         and thanked us for the input.
