CONFIDENTIALSection CMr. James Walton Moore is hereby nominated for a Career Intelligence Medal in recognition of his substantial contributions to the missions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Office of Strategic Services, the Strategic Services Unit and the Central Intelligence Agency for more than 37 years.J. Walton (Jim) Moore spent most of his boyhood (1920-27, 1930-36) in Shantung Province, China with his missionary parents. Following graduation from Hardin-Simmons University in 1940, Jim joined the FBI and served as a Special Agent in both Chicago and San Francisco. During the latter assignment he reported on pro-Communist elements in Chinatown and directed a US Government panel to interview aliens and US citizens returning home to ensure that enemy agents were not slipping into the US as refugees or foreign businessmen.Jim joined OSS in November 1944 and was commissioned as an Ensign, USNR. His first assignment was in Kunming where he recruited and trained Chinese agents to infiltrate Japanese lines. While in Kunming he took parachute training and on August 17, 1945 jumped into the Japanese internment camp at Weihsein. Following evacuation of refugees he became Chief of Mission in Tsingtao. Returning to the US in December 1946, he was reassigned as Vice Consul and Chief of Station in Dairen. Soviet intransigence prevented his reaching Dairen so he remained in Tsingtao for an additional year until transferred as Chief of Station in Calcutta, arriving there in April, 1948.Jim returned to the United States in October 1949 and joined the Contact Division, Office of Operations, CIA. CD/00 policy favored continuity and Jim was no exception. Fron 1949 to 1954 he served in the Houston Field Office and from 1954-1977 as the Resident Officer in Dallas. The Contact Division evolved into the Domestic Contact Service and a reallocation of resources raised the Dallas Resident Office to Field Office status. Jim was the obvious choice for the job. After nine months training and preparation in Washington (where he performed admirably) he was assigned as Chief of the new office with responsibility also for Resident Offices in Tulsa, Houston, New Orleans and, eventually, Austin.E2 IMPDET CL BY 010650CONFIDENTIAL

Section C (continued)CONFIDENTIALJim's work in Dallas has been consistently excellent. Under his leadership the Dallas complex has provided timely foreign intelligence in response to worldwide priorities and requirements. As an example, in April 1975 the Acting Director, Stratetic Research commended Jim for "outstanding performance" for urgent special efforts to obtain information which resulted in a reduction of over 500,000 in the Intelligence Community's estimate of the total number of Soviet military personnel.Similarly, the Dallas Office has provided excellent support to the Clandestine Service. In November, 1976 the Chief, FR Division commended Jim and his staff for "outstanding support" from October 1975-October 1976 in efforts which were "indispensable" to the establishment of FR assets in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana and in identifying and assessing prospective targets for recruitment.There are very few persons of potential consequence to the Intelligence Community in Texas who Jim Moore does not know and little that he cannot accomplish there on behalf of Community and Agency requesters.The assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas in November 1963, the subsequent allegations against CIA and Jim Moore's long association with Agency interests and programs in Texas have made him a repeated target for media attention and scurrilous innuendo. Although under various forms of severe external pressure as a result, Jim Moore never lost his calm, cool demeanor and has been absolutely dependable in adversity.An experienced professional, a true gentleman, a delight--ful person, and an example to be emulated, Jim Moore has been a real credit to the intelligence profession. As he approaches retirement, he richly deserves recognition in the form of the Career Intelligence Medal.CONFIDENTIAL-2-

CONFIDENTIAL10 April 1975MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Domestic Collection Division,DDOSUBJECT: Appreciation for Outstanding DCDPerformance1. I want to express the appreciation of the Office of Strategic Research for the special effort recently made for us by J. Walton Moore of your Dallas field office. Mr. Moore responded quickly to our urgent request to obtain information on Soviet military medical services from DS-2172 and provided it to us on very short notice.2. Let me give you some background. The subject of Soviet medical personnel emerged as an important issue in a recent community-wide effort to reassess total Soviet military manpower. The community reassessment was stimulated by DIA reporting of several months ago that existing estimates of total Soviet military manpower were low by almost one million men. If correct, the DIA appraisal had potentially serious implications for the ongoing MBFR negotiations as well as a host of intelligence judgments about the dimensions of the Soviet military threat.3. During the ensuing interagency review of the individual estimates contributed by various agencies in the Washington area, we came to the conclusion that the number of Soviet medical manpower estimated by an Army intelligence group was much too high. A rapid search of headquarters' files turned up barely enough intelligence to prepare an estimate of a portion of the medical services, but no direct evidence on total medical manpower. At this point it became clear to us that an improved estimate might be made with information from DS-2172. As we had to present our case to the manpower study Steering Group early in the week of March 24, speed in contacting the Soviet source was essential.CONFIDENTIAL27972
[104-10194-10012.pdf — page 264]
4. The data submitted by the Dallas field office as a result of a specially arranged debriefing provided us with the basis for a much improved estimate of Soviet military medical staffing. Furthermore, Mr. Moore's questions clicited some new information of value to future work. Most important, the results of DCD's efforts contributed significantly to convincing the working group that the original Army estimate was far too high. Eventually the estimate we submitted based upon the information supplied by DS-2172 was accepted by the manpower Steering Group and resulted in a reduction of over 500,000 men in the intelligence community's estimate of the total number of Soviet military personnel.5. The efforts of your people struck a mighty blow for good intelligence. Many thanks.![signature of Noel E. Firth]NOEL E. FIRTHActing DirectorStrategic Research-2-

24 November 1956To: Chief, SFB. PPDSubject: Mr. J. Welton Moore, Agent, Contact Office, Dallas, TexasI should like to call attention to the outstanding cooperation given our activities in Dallas by J. Walton Moore, resident representative in Dallas, Texas.Mr. Moore has not only extended the normal hospitality of his offices, but has gone out of his way to nominate and talk with exceptional people who come to his attention as potential employes for the Agency. Mr. Moore has contacted me from time to time with names and comments on individuals, and in every way attempted to serve as an active personnel scout in his area. I feel his efforts and time consumed in interviewing people have gone a good deal beyond the normal expectations of our agency, and that this attitude best represents the unified type of teamwork which our organization subscribes to in this work.While my experiences with the resident offices in my area have been uniformly a pleasant experience, it is a matter of real satisfaction to find a man who is thinking in terms of the Agency as a whole and not of one sharply defined activity. I believe the spirit that Mr. Moore shows should be brought to the attention of his superiors as a prime example of teamwork in the field. It is not only a personal satisfaction to do business with Mr. Moore, but it greatly contributes to the morale of our, efforts by knowing that other offices are as concerned as we are in producing results.Sincerely,![signature of J.
