# SECRETSECTION CNARRATIVE COMMENTSMr. Hicks has an exceptional knowledge of and experience with the problems involved in the conduct and support of covert PM operations. He has shown a high degree of initiative in providing the training and other support required and in preparing material for staff presentation to higher echelons. His attention to detail is a strength in accomplishing his duties but he must try harder to overcome a tendency for too much detail in his staff communications, oral and written. His written work in particular shows a weakness in synthesizing which it is believed could be overcome by available courses of training. Mr. Hicks has also reached the point where he must broaden his outlook as to the wider political and operational implications of PM operations. To this end, it is intended that Mr. Hicks will attend the Inter-Agency Counterinsurgency Course in the near future. Under an experienced Chief of Operations, Mr. Hicks could handle PM operations at most Field Stations; in a major operation such as Viet Nam or Cuba, he could adequately handle a large segment such as PM Training, the handling of a large indigenous group, or the duties of Chief/PM Operations or Deputy Chief, PM. He would be a definite asset, in the field or at Hqs., in any type of task force operations.SECTION D|                                                        | CERTIFICATION AND COMMENTS                                                            || ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- || 1.                                                     | BY EMPLOYEE                                                                           || DATE 5 Feb 1963                                        | I CERTIFY THAT I HAVE SEEN SECTIONS A, B, AND C OF THIS REPORT                        ||                                                        | SIGNATURE OF EMPLOYEE                                                                 || 2.                                                     | BY SUPERVISOR                                                                         || MONTHS EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN UNDER MY SUPERVISION 6 months | IF THIS REPORT HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN TO EMPLOYEE, GIVE EXPLANATION                       || DATE 2 Jan 1963                                        | OFFICIAL TITLE OF SUPERVISOR DC/SAS/PM TYPED OR PRINTED NAME AND SIGNATURE C.

SECRET17 March 1972MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of PersonnelVIA : DDP/OPSUBJECT : Request for Quality Step Increase.Mr. Calvin W. Hicks1.  The GS-13 Evaluation Board for FY 1972, having carefully reviewed the performance or all officers in grade GS-13 according to the standards of HR 20-31a(3)(b), recommends Mr. Calvin W. Hicks for a Quality Step Increase.2.  Mr. Hicks performed in a superior manner as a paramilitary officer during the early years of his career, overseas and in Headquarters. A medical hold on overseas duty led to his assignment in 1967 to the Intelligence Watch/FI Staff where he has remained up to the present. Mr. Hicks has received overall ratings of "Strong" from 1968 through 1971, with his performance characterized as exceptionally proficient. Of the seven officers with whom he serves on a rotating basis, four are GS-14's. The FI Staff has recommended Mr. Hicks for promotion in 1968, 1969, 1971 and 1972, with a recommendation for QSI in 1970. None of these recommendations were approved.3.  The Board has noted that Mr. Hicks plans to retire in 1974 at the age of 50. In view of the very high regard in which he is held by the FI Staff; his record of sustained superior performance and his high dedication to the Agency, the Board recommends recognition in the form of a Quality Step Increase for Mr. Hicks.Arthur E.
