however, his having achieved a corresponding tested level because of the remining influence of Spanish.In the case of this student, I judge his command of the language to be already adequate for all situations he may encounter in the field. So that while he may not test quite elementary, in reality, and as far as ability to communicate effectively is concerned, he would have to be rated intermediate.

6 June 1969MEMORANDUM IN LIEU OF FITNESS REPORTSUBJECT: Mr. David A. Phillips1 April 1968 to 31 March 1969Mr. Phillips continues to head the Division's program against the high-priority Cuban target, although he has also been selected to fill an unusually responsible job overseas in the coming year, both of which jobs testify to the high regard in which he is held by his superiors in the Agency. Mr. Phillips has had the difficult task of presiding over a show which is being cut back, in terms of money and people, and in which task he has played a major role. At the same time as doing a pruning job, he has had to try to maintain a vigorous program and to keep up enthusiasm. His own qualities of personal leadership and of magnetism have done a great deal to keep up enthusiasm among his people. He has a positive attitude toward operations and is determined; his day- to-day concern is for developing new operations, and he has put all of his own notable vigor and drive into operational directions.Mr. Phillips knows his target and knows Latin America well and he brings a good feel and insight into his work, which is never pedestrian or unimaginative. He speaks well and convinc- ingly and makes a very good impression both within the Agency and outside, where he serves the Agency well in his relations with other government elements. He also writes notably well.His task this year has not been easy for he has had to deal with an experimental situation, to a considerable extent, with the new Miami station which he is responsible for supporting and guiding. He has had to exercise a good deal of tact and diplomacy in the doing of it and he has done a good job of reconciling often conflicting views. He has shown a good head for costs in all of this.

-2-Mr. Phillips is a notably good supervisor, especially with younger officers, for whom he is an object of admiration and emulation. Mr. Phillips is a fast-moving, energetic person and he has some of the faults that often go with this virtue: he is impatient with details and "paper" with the consequence that if someone else does not do it for him, his work is sometimes marred by inaccuracies and imprecisions.Without going into it, it should be noted that Mr. Phillips has had a very trying year personally and it is a proof of his strength of character that he has not only come through it but has hardly broken his stride in carrying out a demanding job, or being any less than his usual cheerful and charming self.His performance has been very *Strong*.John R.

Although this period may seem unusually short for the preparation of a performance evaluation, I would like to say that I have been enormously and favorably impressed by his performance during this initial period.The CAS Station Chief comes to Venezuela from a series of highly responsible positions in which, I understand, he performed outstandingly. He has taken hold of his new position in a commanding manner and gives every indication of being thoroughly on top of his Job. He is understanding of the Embassy's needs, professionally competent in his approach to his work, and highly articulate in explaining those facts and factors which are of importance to me and to other officers of the Embassy.I am very favorably impressed by the initial performance of the CAS Station Chief and I consider myself fortunate to have him with me at this post.

Mr. Phillips is an able officer and a highly cooperative member of the Country Team. I have been impressed and pleased with the degree of cooperation which exists between him and other members of the Embassy staff. He has, to the extent that is possible considering the nature of his work, cooperated in our efforts to bring about maximum coordination of reporting. With rare exceptions he has, I believe, kept me appropriately advised on all matters relating to his functions, and the material which he provides on a regular basis has been extremely useful in the discharge of my mission.Mr. Phillips works quietly and discreetly and is alert to any situation which might create problems for the Embassy and the United States. I fully share the view of the DCM, expressed in a previous evaluation, that both Mr. Phillips and his wife conduct themselves in a quiet, friendly and wholly creditable manner.I feel that both the Agency and the Embassy are fortunate in having a man of Mr. Phillips' abilities and qualities as CAS Chief at this important post.FORM 4-65 FS-572 SECRET (When Completed)

For some years previous to my arrival here, in June 1970, I had been acquainted with him, and from this I already had a favorable impression of his qualities. This impression has continued and has improved further. He has worked quietly and discreetly, has kept me informed of all important developments, and has coordinated as necessary with other offices in the Embassy. His interest in his work, and his dedication to the job, have been outstanding. His relations with others are very good. Because of wide previous experience in this hemisphere, he frequently is helpful to Embassy officers in areas outside his own specialization. He appears to manage his personnel well. In functions outside the Embassy, both he and his wife conduct themselves in a quiet, friendly, and wholly creditable manner.FORM4-65 FS-572LIMITED OFFICIAL USE, when Completed)

I am able to say, however, that he has impressed me and other Embassy officers with whom he works, including Ambassador Elbrick, very favorably, indeed. He is a cool-headed, straightforward, intelligent man who seems professionally very capable. He has a clear understanding of the appropriate role for himself and his organization within the Embassy and is working to achieve a genuinely low profile. He has already demonstrated his interest in the best possible relations with the rest of the U.S. Government organization and he knows how to act in order to achieve such a relationship. He has come to me a number of times to volunteer detailed information which he did not feel important enough to bother the Ambassador about, but he has kept the Ambassador fully informed about all those subjects which were of sufficient interest to him. I see every reason to assume that he will be a positive, constructive and very dependable and reliable factor in the Embassy.Mrs. Phillips is an attractive and personable young lady who has particularly impressed my wife and me with her attitude and intellect.

[X] Yes [ ] No## NARRATIVE COMMENTS(Attach additional sheets, if necessary for this section or for reviewing officer's comments.)I have been associated with the CAS Station Chief since my arrival at this post on January 11, 1966, Inasmuch as I have kept in very close daily touch with him, I believe that I am in position to evaluate his performance.Let me say at the outset that the Rated Officer has had to work under the most varied and difficult circumstances. His service at this post began, for example, in a revolutionary situation marked by great and continuing violence. The attention of a good part of the world was focused upon this situation, and some of the highest national interests of the United States were involved. The presence of the Inter-American Peace Force, of its major U.S. component, and of Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker in his unusual and unprecedented role added greatly to the dimensions of the work done by the Rated Officer. In the aftermath of revolution, he had unusual, delicate and complicated tasks to perform in connection with the establishment and maintenance in power of a most fragile Provisional Government. As the latter carried the nation toward the all-important election scheduled for June 1, 1966, the CAS Station Chief faced a changing and constantly challenging set of requirements. Finally, his tour of duty at this post has encompassed the transition from the Provisional Government to a constitutional government emerging from those elections and the gradual firming up of the position and institutions of the present democratically elected administration.To this intricate complex of circumstances, the CAS Station Chief has brought a background knowledge of the Latin American area and itsFORM4-65 FS-572SECRETXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (When Completed)
