CONFIDENTIAL4 JAN 1978MEMORANDUM IN LIEU OF FITNESS REPORTSUBJECT: Thomas J. Keenan1. During the first six weeks of the reviewing period, Mr. Keenan continued as Chief of the Mexico and Central America Branch, the Division's most demanding geographic unit. His performance during this period continued at the same Strong level detailed in the last Fitness Report.2. During February, as part of a determined effort to strengthen the Division's Operations Staff, Mr. Keenan was moved up to fill one of the two Deputy Chief slots in that unit. As of 1 July, he was the sole Deputy of the Staff. As set up in Latin America Division, the Operations Staff had both staff and line functions. It had broad coordinating responsibilities with all elements outside the Division, served as the focal point for all senior staff requests for studies and reports, stimulated and coordinated Division operational activities and reviewed the effectiveness of Division programs. All Division operational traffic flowed through the Ops Staff where better than 80 per cent of the traffic was released.3. Mr. Keenan was assigned primary responsibility for close review and staff action relating to the northern area (Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean plus Guyana and Surinam in South America). In addition, he served as the staff referent for narcotics operations throughout the Division and for Cuba operations worldwide.4. I consider myself singularly fortunate to have had Mr. Keenan as my Deputy. I assumed the Chief/Ops responsibility in April 1977 and immediately discovered that ground rules were different, legal strictures impinged on many operational decisions, and the almost constant senior staff requests affected one's ability to concentrate on operations. Mr. Keenan was extremely helpful in providing substantive briefings, guiding me through the legal and policy complications and pointing out the shoals. He made many valuable suggestions on how to handle the work load without drowning in paper.E2 IMPDETCL BY 19812CONFIDENTIAL

5. Mr. Keenan has an agile and retentive mind. He   is quick at distinguishing the wheat from the chaff. He   does his homework and I have never known him to go off   half cocked. In making operational judgments, his initiative   is tempered by a healthy dose of prudence. Mr. Keenan's   writing is first rate; his prose is lean, often elegant,   and always precise. I have admired his talents as a   briefer. His presentations are balanced and detailed,   often spiced with his engaging humor.6. Mr. Keenan's tenure with the Ops Staff was a very   intensive period. He normally worked an eleven-hour day   and Saturdays as well. I take some pride in the fact that   there never developed an antagonist relationship between   the operating branches and the Ops Staff. Mr. Keenan   deserves much of the credit for this. While often taking   issue with branch positions and written work, he was   unfailingly courteous, good humored, and helpful. His   counsel was often sought on difficult problems.7. A significant and time-consuming aspect of the   Ops Staff's work concerned screening operational traffic   for compliance with E.0. 11905 and ensuring that U.S.   person strictures were scrupulously observed. I found   Mr. Keenan's general knowledge in these areas unmatched   among the non-lawyers of the Agency..8. Mr. Keenan shared with me the responsibility for   supervising the work of two operations officers and one   secretary. He is an excellent supervisor who manages   (despite the belief of some that it is not possible) to be   both exigent and pleasant. He cares about people, and as   noted in the previous Fitness Report, takes special   interest in developing younger officers.9. In addition to his Operations Staff responsibil-   ities, Mr. Keenan served as the Division EEO Officer. He   also served for nine months on a time-consuming DDO task   force concerned with a threat against President Carter's   life. He performed these responsibilities with the same   thoughtfulness and effectiveness he applies to everything   else.
[104-10222-10005.pdf — page 146]
10. The Operations Staff was disbanded in early November as part of the Latin America Division reorganization. In recognition of his splendid performance on the Ops Staff, Mr. Keenan was made Chief of a combined Coordination/Plans Staff with a T/O of six. This staff will retain most of the coordination functions of the Ops Staff but not the line functions.11. This is a splendid officer, certainly one of the most promising GS-15's in the Division. He clearly earned an Outstanding rating for the period under review.![Signature of Joseph Di Stefano]Joseph Di StefanoDeputy Chief,LA Southern Region![Signature of Thomas J. Keenan]Thomas J.

## COMMENTS OF REVIEWING OFFICIAL continuedWhile I personally handled the first week or so of the myriad problems associated with a wide-spread investigation of an alleged plot against President Carter, I subsequently turned the responsibility for it over to Mr. Keenan and he represented the Division with the DDO, CI Staff and Secret Service on this important and seemingly never ending problem area. This involved a lot of extra hours work and had to be handled meticulously. He performed these responsibilities impeccably.During the past year he made many contributions to the smooth functioning of the division. Not least among them was the fact that having fully familiarized himself with US laws, Executive Orders, regulations, notices, etc., which have increasingly affected our operations programs, he ensured that our operational business was always in meticulous compliance with the spirit as well as the letter of these seemingly myriad "don'ts." Similarly, we had to produce staff papers in a hurry, often synthesizing a great deal of detail or alternatively presenting a great deal of detail. Mr. Keenan saw that the job was accomplished on time and with good style.Although he was the junior member of the three-man Operations Staff, on occasion he served as the Acting Chief. He handled the COPS function with his usual dedication and good judgment.As the rating officer has mentioned, when the division was reorganized in November, we decided to combine the Operations Staff's staff, but not command functions with those of the Plans Staff. Mr. Keenan was the obvious choice for this important and challenging assignment which will tax his abilities and broaden his experience. He is one of our best GS-15 officers and has additional growth potential in the Clandestine Service. He is a good operations officer as well as a good staff officer and is qualified to manage one of our medium-size Latin America Division Stations.

Branch Chief's attention, the other Stations, particularly Costa Rica, which has an active operational program, and the Guatemala Station, which also covers El Salvador, required regular attention and the lesser posts could not be neglected. The Branch performed well in these regards too. In short, I was pleased by the rapidity with which Mr. Keenan got on top of his responsibilities and by the intelligence, thoughtfulness, energy and professional skills he displayed in carrying them out.Mr. Keenan is an intense, thorough, common sense, sound officer who while quick witted, thinks problems through, sees the holes and takes steps to fill them. He does his home work and doesn't go off half-cocked; yet he gets the job done quickly. He tends toward the conservative side in making judgments. While he has a pleasant way with people, he has firm convictions, and he is articulate, very forthright but not offensive in expressing what is on his mind. A strong supervisor, he is on top of the activities of his unit, demands results, isn't afraid to be firm with his subordinates but is thoughtful and concerned about their welfare. He cares a lot about people and is interested in developing younger officers assigned to him. Because of these qualities, he was selected to be the Division's FEO officer when we needed a new one a few months ago. He has performed this role in his usual thoughtful and efficient fashion. He writes quickly and well. No one is more conscientious than ho. He really cares about his job and tries to produce the best possible product. All in all, he was one of our best Branch Chiefs and deserves a solid "Strong" for his efforts.In February 1977, one of the Deputy Chiefs of Operations jobs in the Division came open. Because of his demonstrated all around ability, personal qualifications and potential, he was selected from among the Branch Chiefs in the Division to fill that position. The job will broaden him and equip him for even more responsible posts in the field as either a Station Chief or for more senior positions at Headquarters. He is clearly one of our promising GS-15 officers.![signature of Georgt V. Lauder]Georgt V. LauderDeputy ChiefLatin America Division![signature of Thomas J. Keenan]Thomas J.
