You are prohibited, except as specifically authorized herein, from retaining emoluments paid by your cover facility.2. It is understood and agreed that the minimum period of your overseas tour of duty is governed by and coincident with the prescribed tour of duty of your cover organization. Currently, your prescribed tour consists of a period of two years from the date of your arrival at your overseas post of duty. Your assignment may be terminated earlier for the convenience of this organization and the length of your tour of duty, as currently specified, may be unilaterally changed by this organization in order to conform with subsequent changes in the prescribed tour of your cover facility. If you request termination of your overseas assignment solely for your own convenience, unless it is for circumstances that are considered by this organization to be beyond your control or if you are terminated for cause under the regulations of this organization before you have completed the minimum period of service prescribed above from the date of arrival at your overseas post of duty, you will not be entitled to return travel or transportation for yourself or your dependents to the United States at Government expense. If you request termination of your overseas assignment solely for your own convenience, unless it is for circumstances that are considered by this organization to be beyond your control or if you are terminated for cause under the regulations of this organization before you have completed one (1) year of service from the date of your arrival at your overseas post of duty, you will be required to reimburse the Government for all of its expenses for your travel and transportation, and that of your dependents, from the continental United States to such overseas post of duty.1535 Obsolete oviousEditionSECRET(4-12)

# SECRET3.

Each travel will be accomplished in conformance with applicable regulations of your cover facility except when you are directed for operational reasons to perform travel in accordance with the regulations of this organization.4. Salary and (except as provided in paragraph three (3) above) allowances paid by your cover facility shall be retained by you to the extent that they are less than or equal to the salary and allowance payments due on the basis of your grade level with this organization. If such cover payments are less than the amount due, the difference will be credited to your payroll account with this organization. If such cover payments exceed the amount due, the overage will be remitted to this organization at designated intervals, presentlyComputations hereunder will be made on the basis of the aggregate gross due and received provided, however, that in computing remittances for overage Federal and, if applicable, District of Columbia income taxes withheld by your cover facility against the overage may be deducted.

If you receive taxable income from both your cover facility and this organization, necessary adjustments for Federal, and if applicable, District of Columbia income tax purposes will be made in conformance with instructions received from this organization.c. Consistent with your cover activity, you will continue to be responsible for compliance with the rules and regulations of this organization.d.

1 March 1967MEMORANDUM FOR: Secretary, CSCS Panel, Section ASUBJECT: Recommendation for Promotion: Thomas J. Keenan1. The promotion of Mr. Thomas J. Keenan to GS-13 is strongly recommended. Mr. Keenan embodies the principal qualities of the all-around operations officer. He is intelligent, perceptive, and analytical. He quickly grasps the essentials of a problem. He is aggressive, very industrious, and always works effectively. His field experience consists of two tours of duty in Mexico where he began as a junior case officer and developed rapidly to the point where he was handling an extremely heavy load of important and complex cases. He operated against Soviet Bloc and related targets, ran support projects, surveillance teams, and technical operations. The experience he gained was broad in nature. Also involved was the supervision of up to 30 people, including other officers and indigenous personnel and agents. Mr. Keenan himself responds extremely well to enlightened supervision and is quick to profit from the guidance of his supervisors.2. For the past two years Mr. Keenan has worked on the FI Staff of the WH Division providing supervision and guidance for FI/CI activities of the Division. He has been most effective in this role which requires dealing on a day-to-day basis with officers, many of whom are senior to him.3. He participated as the Number 2 man on a Headquarters Task Force supporting the President's visit to Mexico last year. His work was highly effective. Mr. Keenan demonstrated a thorough knowledge of Headquarters' procedures and an ability to get things done. Mr. Keenan will shortly be assigned as
[104-10222-10005.pdf — page 35]
-2-Operations Officer to Bogota, Colombia where there are targets of an increasingly serious nature requiring highly professional operational approaches.4. Based on his experience and proven ability demonstrated by sound accomplishments as a case officer and as a Headquarters staff assistant, Mr. Keenan is regarded as having superior potential. It is recommended that he be promoted to GS-13.![signature of William V. Broe]William V. BroeChiefWestern Hemisphere Division

S-E-C-R-E-TCENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCYWASHINGTON,. D.C 20505TO : Thomas KeenanSUBJECT: TDY in the Dominican RepublicMost of you who went down to the Dominican Republicdeparted with so much speed and so little ceremony thatthere was no time to explain the importance and urgencyof your assignments. Now that you have served thereduring the crisis, the importance of the task needs noembellishment from us, but you should know that the con-tribution of the augmented Station was decisive in shapingthe policies and actions of the government and in avoidingseveral major mistakes. For weeks after the April revolu-tion, our Station reporting was literally the only sourceof information that the United States had on the role ofCommunism among the rebel forces and on conditions outsidethe capital.Many fine things were done in the Station and in thehinterland by all of you. Manning the check-points underfire, flying to remote and hostile villages, moving tonsof supplies through the gauntlet of the communicationsline, toiling over midnight reports, and keeping open ourcountry's only commo link -- all these things were common-place. The dedication, discipline, and routine of ourpersonnel placed them in a class apart.To the sense of pride and accomplishment you mustalready feel, I want to add the gratitude and and admirationof the DDP and of the Agency.![signature of Richard Helms]Richard HelmsDeputy Director of Central IntelligenceS-E-C-R-E-T
