He is always ready to assist with language problems and if he doesn't know the answer he exhausts all possible means to find what is called for or special branch or division projects involving reverse translation, and he has held a number of TDY assignments requiring spoken Russian.

If they ask for something which he knows is of no value or which has been duplicated elsewhere, he has no difficulty in persuading them to cancel the requirement, since they have learned that they can trust his work and his genuine desire to help. It is not hard to discern that he sometimes gets bored with the monotony of his work, but an occasional tour of TDY is generally sufficient to revive his enthusiasm for another year at his desk.

1956-1959: I worked for various establishments in Washington, D.C., as a translator from Russian into English, such as the Library of Congress, and various other translating firms, which abound in Washington, with a salary varying in accordance with the output of translated material, from $500.00 to 1,000.00 per month.I was employed by USJPRS.1959-1963: I joined USJPRS on Western Avenue in Washington D.C., which is a company under contract to the Dept. of State, the Dept. of Defense and on occasion to the Dept. of the Interior (fish hatcheries division). I worked as an analyst and translator, at home most of the time, translating and analysing articles from newspapers and technical magazines. I was paid $8.00 for 1,000 words for ordinary material, $12.00 for technical and $12.00 for scientific subjects. Also, I was hired by the Dept. of State to be an interpreter for two Soviet delegations at $25.00 per diem plus expenses. I spent five weeks with each of them.1963-1970: After leaving USJPRS I came to Mexico with my wife and children to avoid the weather extremes of the USA and to look into possibilities of profitable investments that could aid me financially after my retirement. My income during this period came from annuities and the moneys lent to my brother-in-law in Cleveland, Ohio, who is a successful real estate man and the owner of an amusement machines business (Cadillac Music Co.) in which I had invested some money previously. I was also connected by mail with a linguistics studies firm, Room 212, 419 Boyleston Str, Boston 16, Mass. Frequently some of my friends from USJPRS would send me some special articles for translation. I would change the above organizations in accordance with the time spent in translating. This amounted to roughly $10,000.00 a year.H MHT-10577.

ADMINISTRATIVE INTERNAL USE ONLY3 JUN 1965MEMORANDUM FOR:Tarasiti. Birs D.SUBJECT : Retirement Planning1. The established policy of the Agency favors early retirement of its employees who, as you know, are normally expected to retire when they become eligible for a full annuity. The prospect of retirement deserves serious thought and planning, and you should therefore know that you will be eligible for retirement, according to our records, during November, 1970.2. Planning ahead can bring about, with each passing year, definite progress toward your retirement goals. The Agency is anxious to assist you in planning for your retirement. It is even more important, as an employee, that you begin now to plan for this occasion.3. You deserve to know as much as possible about the general subject of retirement and more specifically about the retirement policy itself, your annuity, life and health insurance protection, opportunities for other employment, Social Security benefits, and educational materials available on the subject. The Agency feels that this type of information and advisory service should be made available to you at least five years prior to the date of your eligibility.4. You are requested to call the Executive Secretary of the Board, Mr. Howard G. Phillips, on extension 6872 to arrange an appropriate time to discuss any plans you may have and benefits available to you upon retirement./s/ Howard G. PhillipsLawrence R.
