State suggestions made for improvement of work performance. Give recommendations for training. Comment on foreign language competence, if required for current position. Amplify or explain ratings given in Section B to provide best basis for determining future personnel action. Manner of performance of managerial or supervisory duties must be documented if applicable.Mr. Hidalgo's fluent knowledge of Cuban Spanish, his previous experience in DD/P Cuban operations, and his broad knowledge of Cuba (people, geography, customs, etc.) made him a particularly useful and versatile operations officer during his assignment in the WH/SA counterintelligence operations section. As indicated in Section B (specific duties) he performed a wide variety of duties.Mr. Hidalgo approached and performed his assignments with enthusiasm, keenness, dedication, and promptness. He displayed a particular talent for conducting debriefings, and it was in this type activity that he performed best. He also writes well which added to his debriefing capability as well as to his performance as a Headquarters desk operations officer in writing cables, dispatches, memoranda, etc. Mr. Hidalgo is cost conscious and effective in the use of space, equipment and funds. He does not hold a supervisory position.Mr. Hidalgo performed most of his duties with a minimum of supervision. In a few instances, however, he had a tendency (in his eagerness and desire to get the job done well) to become impatient with the slow and deliberate pace of progress which is sometimes necessary in operational activities. In these few instances, Mr. Hidalgo's work required supervision by a senior operations officer.## SECTION D CERTIFICATION AND COMMENTS1.

BY REVIEWING OFFICIAL   COMMENTS OF REVIEWING OFFICIALMr. Hidalgo is a sound operations officer with native fluency in Spanish. His impatience is with administrative delays rather than with operational problems which he understands fully and handles well. He has had problems with his health but these largely have been overcome and in the past 9 months have not impeded his operational usefulness. As of the date of this fitness report, he appears fully capable of handling any CI or FI operation assigned to him.DATE OFFICIAL TITLE OF REVIEWING OFFICIAL TYPED OR PRINTED NAME AND SIGNATURE23 March 65 C WH/SA CI (WH/C/SP) Harold F.

Amplify or explain ratings given in Section B to provide best basis for determining future personnel action. Manner of performance of managerial or supervisory duties must be described, if applicable.Mr. Hidalgo joined WH/PO/A in November 1961 and took up those responsibilities listed above. However, Mr. Hidalgo's performance of duties was interrupted on two occasions by serious illness, 9-27 March and 15 April-31 May 1962. He was twice hospitalized. From 25 June-9 August 1962, Mr. Hidalgo was on TDY for WH/3 as escort officer for Latin American trainees. Although beset by health and other personal problems, Mr. Hidalgo seized upon each new assignment with his customary energy. He proved particularly adept in working as interpreter and escort officer for Latin American trainees, and demonstrated high interest and proven competence in counterintelligence work. His excellent memory and quick perceptior. were distinct assets in these undertakings.It is recommended, however, that Mr. Hidalgo's next assignment not carry responsibility for submission of finished papers or staff studies, but be one entailing duties commensurate with his ability to work effectively with indigenous personnel and to pursue CI leads through records investigation.## CERTIFICATION AND COMMENTS### BY EMPLOYEEI CERTIFY THAT I HAVE SEEN SECTIONS A, B, AND C OF THIS REPORTDATE18 Sept 62SIGNATURE OF EMPLOYEE### BY SUPERVISORIF THIS REPORT HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN TO EMPLOYEE, GIVE EXPLANATIONMONTHS EMPLOYEE HAS BEENUNDER MY SUPERVISIONDATE18 September 1962OFFICIAL TITLE OF SUPERVISORC/WH/PO/ATYPED OR PRINTED NAME AND SIGNATURECLARK A.
