CONFIDENTIAL!1.  As Mr. David E. Murphy, CS-18, retires on 31 July 1975, he will have completed some 33 years of Federal service, 27 of which have been with the Agency. His record has been an outstanding one in all respects. His accomplishments and the level and range of responsibilities he has exercised fully warrant the award of the Distinguished Intelligence Medal in recognition thereof.2.  Mr. Murphy brought to the Agency from his previous military and civilian experience and study, a knowledge of the Russian language and of the Soviet system. It was in the field of Soviet operations that he rapidly made his mark, first in Japan and then in Germany. His incisive mind, vitality, enthusiasm, imagination, managerial talent and keen analytical ability led to early recognition on the part of his superiors that Mr. Murphy was an outstanding officer with very high potential. By 1954, he had risen to the position of DCOB, Berlin and in 1959 became Chief of that large and important base. He distinguished himself there. In recognition of his abilities and accomplishments he then rose successively to the position of DC/EE Division, C/FE Division, C/SR Division and C/SE Division. Each assignment was one of increasing responsibility and challenge in the direction of efforts of the Clandestine Service and the Agency against our hardest targets. The laudatory fitness reports he received from top Agency management in these assignments clearly reflect the high professional regard in which he was held and convey the judgments of the major significance of the contributions he made to the Agency mission in support of U.S. policy and national security.3.  After revitalizing and redirecting our Soviet program as C/SR and of the enlarged SB Division, Mr. Murphy. was appointed COS, Paris in 1968 and served in that position until 1974. His aix years in Paris were marked by steady progress in all areas of the missions and objectives assigned to that large and complex station and by the handling of delicate political and internal criuis situations in France effectively and to the benefit of the Agency and the United States. His analyses of the situation in France at times of tension and crisis were particularly remarked upon for their clarity, incisiveness and value to U.S. policy makers. For his leadership of the Paris Station, Mr. Murphy's performance was characterized as "Outstanding" in each of the years of his service there.CONFIDENTIAL
[104-10224-10002.pdf — page 134]
CONFIDENTIAL'4. Mr. Murphy returned from France in 1974 and was assigned as a National Intelligence Officer with responsibility to the DCI in the area of Special Activities. He has served in this assignment of high trust and responsibility until his retirement.5. Mr. Murphy's long, distinguished career has been exceptional in contributing to the mission of the Agency both operationally and substantively. His dedication, drive and intelligence led to high achievement in all of his assignments and to his being entrusted with ever- increasing responsibilities. It is strongly recommended that he be awarded the Distinguished Intelligence Medal in recognition of his outstanding service in the CIA.

7 May 1974MEMORANDUM IN LIEU OF FITNESS REPORTSUBJECT: David E. MurphyEmployee No.: 056700; Grade: GS-18; DOB:23 June 1921; Chief of Station, Paris;Months under my Supervision: 14; Feriodunder Review: 1 April 1973-1 June 1974.OVERALL RATING: OUTSTANDING1. At the end of May 1974, Mr. Murphy will leave Paris after a most successful six-year assignment as Chief of Station. He distinguished himself by having molded this Station into a cohesive, well-disciplined, and highly productive unit. I reiterate my evaluation of Mr. Murphy as, overall, the most effective chief of a major station in the European Division. His earlier fitness reports and his excellent record in Paris attest to this.2. In the past year under Mr. Murphy's direction, the Paris Station has continued to make significant progress on all major fronts. As examples, I can cite two direct Soviet recruitment attempts, an imaginative effort to get closer to several other primary Soviet targets, a perceptible improvement in our French liaison relationships, a marked increase in both quality and quantity of priority economic intelligence reporting, the acquisition of new sources to cover the French internal scene, and a revitalization of several existing assets into producers of valuable intelligence. Although normally most of the credit for such achievements rests with the individual operations officers concerned, in Mr. Murphy's case he personally becomes involved in each
[104-10224-10002.pdf — page 138]
Murphy, David E.operation and therefore the cited progress is a direct reflection of Mr. Murphy's talent and skill as a dynamic operational manager. Paris is a sprawling metropolitan area where operating obstacles, particularly those relating to access to majer targets, are further exacerbated by sporadic French scrutiny of our activities. It is therefore all the more noteworthy that the progress made by the Station has been accomplished without any embarrassing flaps through Mr. Murphy's insistence that the highest standards of tradecraft be practiced by Station personnel and by visiting case officers.3. Mr. Murphy can take considerable personal pride in his record in Paris. His personal concern with all areas of Station activity and his common sense approach to both operational and administrative matters are indicative of this officer's competence as one of this Agency's most gifted and thoroughly professional senior officers. His wide range of interests, his wealth of operational engagement, his ability to make well-reasoned and prompt decisions, his aggressiveness, and his persuasiveness are all hallmarks of Mr. Murphy's superb performance. Although Mr. Murphy shows a lively impatience with bureaucratic roadblocks and cogently articulates his views on all issues, his correspondence with Headquarters is invariably presented factually and in a dignified and unemotional tone; this I have appreciated and would like to add that Mr. Murphy promptly implements Headquarters guidelines and decisions.4. Mr. Murphy's performance clearly merits the rating of OUSTANDING.Archibald B. Roosevelt, Jr.Chief, European Division

26 April 1973MEMORANDUM IN LIEU OF FITNESS REPORTSUBJECT: David E. MurphyGS-1S: Employee No.: 650700; DOB: 23 June 1921;Career; Chief of Station, Paris; ServiceDesignation: D; Period under Review: 10 Jan 1972to 31 March 1973; Months under my Supervision: 15OVERALL RATING: OUTSTANDING1. Given the size of the Paris Station and the complexity of its diverse activities, on overall performance Mr. Murphy is rated as the most effective Station Chief in the European Division area. In the period under review, substantial progress has been made against all operational targets. Under Mr. Murphy's tutelage particularly noteworthy accomplishments are noted in the Soviet field against human targets and on a superbly executed technical penetration; in the area of liaison where Mr. Murphy has almost single-handedly developed productive relationships at senior levels and as testament to his efforts, successfully enlisted outstanding liaison support to a delicate CI investigation of primary interest to this Organization; and more recently, Mr. Murphy has effectively harnessed Station resources and assets to collect timely intelligence on economic topics, to move forward in the effort to thwart terrorism, and to furnish valuable reporting on the critical French elections of March 1973. Under his direction, the Station has acquired a number of productive and responsive assets in the past year, while other operational programs have improved upon their high quality/intelligence production record.2. Mr. Murphy is a thoroughly professional senior intelligence officer who plays a very active role in practically all of the Station's operational activities. His incisiveness and keen analytical talent enable him to
[104-10224-10002.pdf — page 140]
# SECRETMurphy, David E.make sound and well-reasoned judgments. It is to Mr. Murphy's credit that all Paris-based operations are run with the highest degree of professionalism and adherence to strict tradecraft procedures. Mr. Murphy has also asssired a wealth of knowledge and background on the local political scene; this is considered a valuable requisite for target-ting purposes, for briefings and for maintaining his excellent relations with senior Embassy officers, including the Ambassador.3. Given his long service in the European area and his grasp of European problems confronting the Division, exchanges with Mr. Murphy both personal and through correspondence have been extremely helpful in formulating Division operational policy.4. Mr. Murphy clearly merits an overall rating of OUTSTANDING.Archibald B. Roosevelt,Chief, Europesa DivisicaI certify that I have read this report:David E.

It is useful to record, however, that during the last half of this year his Station has been deeply involved in the reporting and analysis of some highly sensitive developments on the French political scene. Much of the analysis of this situation has been handled by Dave himself, and has proven of real significance to our highest level customers. We have briefed a number of ranking officials in Washington on Dave's findings, and they have been uniformly appreciative. Dave therefore deserves credit for alerting Washington to a difficult situation concerning which the U.S. Government has had little or no information except from this Agency's sources.Mr. Murphy's performance continues to be Outstanding.John L. HartChiefEuropean DivisionREVIEWING OFFICER'S COMMENTS:Date 18 Feb 72Assistant Deputy Director forPlansFully concurs in the "outstanding" character of an exceptional performance, a rare combination of outstanding knowledge, operational initiative, and managerial competence.
