If extra space is needed to complete Section D, attach a separate sheet of paper.There has been no change in Mr. Hicks' performance from the last reporting period. It is still characterized by exceptional proficiency. He continues to display initiative, resourcefulness and good judgment in the performance of the duties assigned to an IW officer.Mr. Hicks has been with the Intelligence Watch since June 1967. A medical hold has precluded any further overseas assignments and for this reason his tour in IW has been extended until he reaches age 50 (November 1974) at which time he plans to retire under the Agency retirement system. Throughout this period he has continuously applied himself with diligence and enthusiasm. Even after some protracted sick leave periods he has returned ready to step in and pick up where he left off which is the best proof of his mastery of details and the mechanics of dissemination, as well as his ability to adjust to the stresses, and strains resulting from this type of assignment.Since the inception of his IW assignment he has borne the same responsibilities and carried the same burdens as his colleagues in the GS-14 category and continues to perform at this level. For this sustained high-level of performance in 1972 he received a quality step increase in recognition and as proof of the high esteem in which he is held by his superiors.Mr. Hicks' resourcefulness and ability to apply the myriad of reporting skills and techniques has been clearly demonstrated in crisis situations such as the recent Chilean political upheaval and the current Near Eastern crisis. The presence of IW officers such as Mr. Hicks enables the DDO to effect electrical dissemination of the high precedence traffic to the Intelligence Community in a matter of minutes on a 24-hour-day basis. He carries no supervisory responsibilities he gives all indications of being cost conscious.# SECTION ECERTIFICATION AND COMMENTSBY EMPLOYEE1.
