The only remark/can make here is the one I stated in the previous report: the administrative res- ponsibilities of a branch chief do not enable him to be a purely operational individual. If it were possible to carry less of an administrative load, I would enjoy devoting all of my time to the refinement of the intelligence process and its techniques in my area of concern.10. 22 October 1953DATEJacques.SIGNATUREItens 11 through 18 will be completed by Supervisor11. BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THIS PERSON'S PERFORMANCE ON THE MAJOR DUTIES LISTED UNDER ITEM 7 ABUVE.During this period Mr. Richardson: was promoted from Deputy Fraich Chief to Branch Chief, in recognition of his extremely good performance. Hot enough time has elapsed to be able to evaluate him fully on all aspects of his new position. However, his handling of the Branch has been unusually good from a management point of view and there is every reason to believe that in the planning and direction of operational activities the same high standard will prevail.JPHFORM NO. 97-151MAY 1952SECRET
