# SECRETITASHANTM FOR: Deputy Director (Intelligence).SUBJECT:Commendation of DDI Personnel1. For the past several months my office has had an urgent and a continuing need for intelligence about Guatemala--for intelligence in such variety that at one time or another almost every DDI component contributed.2. Each of them -- offices as well as individuals within the DD/I area -- responded with a highly impressive alacrity and completeness. Their contributions were thorough in their coverage and fast in their preparation.3. It is difficult to cite the work of particular individuals and components of DD/T, because much inconspicuous but essential labor must never have come to my attention. Risking the chance that such work might unfairly go unrecognized, I nevertheless believe that the work of the following individuals and units deserves special recognition:John V. Armstrong, Wilton H. Brown, Archie C. Bush and David L. Campa, OCI.Miss Dorothy A. Bradas, William P. Burke, Hunter J. Lease and Lloyd A. Ray, New Orleans field office, OO/C.William Buchanan, Kansas City field office, OO/C.Miss Betty Didcoct and David F. Haley, Geography Division, ORR.Norman E. Greenawalt, Charles D. Stockton, Milton S. Venezky and Robert J. Voskuil, Cartography Division, ORR.Zygmund Lenchert, Richard V. Stamp and John E. Wilson, Photo Intelligence Division, ORR.Harry A. McCrea and David S. McLean, OO/C.Lawrence Snitzler, New York field office, OO/C.SECRET

SECRET- 2 -Office of Research and Reports which put its major resources at our disposal. ORR's geographic research area freely gave us the time of trained cartographers and interpreters. Without their skills, and the endless hours they applied those skills for us, our operations would have been most difficult. ORR's economic research area contributed less only because we asked for less economic intelligence was not as vital as geographic intelligence to this operation. In addition, the major economic contribution was recognized and commended in my 7 June 1954 memorandum to you.Foreign Broadcast Information Division which monitored Guatemalan and related broadcasts with more than its usual care, and, among other special activities, arranged a direct wire service so that our field headquarters unit received the monitored broadcasts immediately. The entire division turned to its task with such unity that singling out for commendation the work of any of its people is impossible.Foreign Documents Division which gave us translations quickly and in the priority needed. Its service was the more remarkable for its lack of a Western Hemisphere unit. Initiative, flexibility, and willingness were substituted for this organizational lack.![illegible] station which provided a wide variety of services we requested, and on its own initiative proposed other useful services. collection of Central American intelligence information by the net-work of domestic field stations, it carefully watched the southern ports of entry into the United States on a regular basis, it provided us with commercial news clipping services and the texts of news broadcasts, and it located, surveyed in many cases interviewed Guatemalans within the United States in whom we were interested.CIA Library, especially its Book Branch. All components, however contributed. Its clipping service was reliable, alert, and keen to render maximum service. The Information Section promptly handled numerous spot requests and gave resourceful assistance well beyond the confines of its routine duties. The Book Branch surveyed periodical and scholarly literature meticulously, and thus uncovered such information useful to a psychological campaign.Graphics Register whose Photo Branch and Film Branch both gave services much beyond the normal course of duty, and showed ingenuity in locating and preparing special materials.![signature]FRANK G.
