If extra space is needed to complete Section C, attach a separate sheet of paper.This employee has been at this station since June 1967 and has been assigned the following operational duties: he has started from scratch the organization of a second, unilateral surveillance team consisting of one principal agent and three foot surveillants and investigators; he is giving guidance and direction to one MOLADY contract agent who, in turn, handles Station's WOLIME program in the press and student fields; he also gives guidance and additional on-the-job training to a contract agent of Venezuelan nationality who is used in recruitment approaches, the handling of out-of-town penetrations of subversive groups, and in a support capacity.This employee carries out the above cited tasks with initiative, alacrity and with common sense. He requires the absolute minimum of supervision. His extensive experience in his previous assignment abroad has helped greatly in getting the new surveillance and investigative team organized quickly. The direction he has given in the WOLIME field, where a reorganization was called for and is being carried out under his supervision and guidance, has been excellent, especially considering the fact that this is his first experience in the WOLIME field. The Venezuelan contract agent has carried out a number of recruitment pitches (including false flag ones) under the close supervision of this employee, who demonstrated a fine knowledge of technique and a good sense of counter intelligence procedures.This employee is an extremely hard worker, writes well and has a well organized mind. His operational reporting is extensive and invariably on time.(Continued on annex)SECTION DCERTIFICATION AND COMMENTSBY EMPLOYEEI CERTIFY THAT I HAVE SEEN SECTIONS A, B, AND C OF THIS REPORTDATE5 February 1968/s/ Thomas J.

I have found this employee to be a particularly mature case officer who possesses an excellent knowledge of tradecraft and requires little or no supervision to carry out his assignments. His work is of an excellent quality and he has proved to be a definite asset to this station. His only area of weakness is that he must be more assertive and aggressive in developing operational contacts of use to the Station. This has been discussed with him and he is planning to devote more effort in the future to correct this weakness.DATEOFFICIAL TITLE OF OFFICIALTYPED OR PRINTED NAME AND SIGNATURE5 February 1968Chief of Station, BogotaRichard SampsonSECRET
