Section D-Continued--James Walter McCord, Jr.former Soviet intelligence personalities. This activity led to close liaison with British and other Western intelligence representatives involving numerous trips to Europe. This liaison activity with representatives of the British MI-5 established a direct channel of communications resulting in a continuous exchange of leads and a flow of operational data over the years of benefit to the Agency.During the period of his work with the Security Research Staff, in which he served as Deputy Chief from May 1957, Mr. McCord was the Agency's case officer in a number of double agent cases involving Agency staff employees who had been contacted and were being developed for recruitment by the Soviet intelligence service.From 1962 to 1964, Mr. McCord served overseas as Chief of the Regional Security Support Staff located at Frankfurt, Germany with responsibility for the overall personnel and physical security and audio countermeasures programs applicable to the Stations and Bases of the European area. This assignment was followed by attendance at the Air War College, August 1964 to June 1965.For the past five years, Mr. McCord has held two vital line positions with world-wide responsibilities involving the Agency's audio countermeasures and physical security programs.As Chief of the Technical Division from 23 July 1965 to 10 October 1968, Mr. McCord supervised a technical operation with considerable skill. Although not an engineer by training, he spanned a difficult gap between the administrative and technical demands of his responsibilities, guiding the development of useful and esoteric equipment in the counter-audio field to a point where the Agency became the recognised leader among Government departments in this area of activity. This leadership is evidenced by the

SECRETSection D Continued - James Walter McCord, Jr.establishment of an Inter-Agency Technical Training Center under the Executive Agency of the Technical Division for the Technical Surveillance Countermeasures Committee of the United States Intelligence Board. Much of Mr. McCord's ideas, talents, and imagination went into the creation of this training activity which commenced operations about the time of his reassignment to the Physical Security Division.Mr. McCord participated with two subordinate employees in the development of x-ray equipment for use by the Technical Division in detecting and locating hostile audio devices implanted in office appurtenances and walls of Agency occupied facilities. The responsibility for ensuring that appropriate protective methods for the safe use of this equipment was also associated with this development. The significance of this achievement was recognised by the Agency when Mr. McCord and his participating colleagues were awarded Certificates of Merit with Distinction in October 1966.In his current position as Chief, Physical Security Division, Mr. McCord demonstrated his ability to quickly assimilate the necessary details of a field in which he had relatively little experience. H. showed initiative in seeking out new ways and means to harden the security of the Agency's domestic and overseas facilities by tapping all possible technological resources, both in and out of Government, to produce for the Agency a posture in the physical security field which is the equal of, if not superior to, those of other elements of the United States Government. Illustrative of this effort is the expansion and improvement of the Agency's Security Comu.and Center relating to the protection of Agency assets in time of demonstrations, riots and civil disturbances.Throughout his Agency career, Mr. McCord has engaged his curious and inventive mind to search out even better ways to solve problems within his area of responsibility. As a result, hisSECRET

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, OS Carcer BoardSUBJECT : Quality Step Increase forMr. James W. McCord, Jr.1. Mr. McCord has served as Chief of the Technical   Division since 23 July 1965. Through his leadership and fine   management of the Division, he and his engineers have developed   several new and valuable techniques in the audio countermeasures   field. The cost of research and development in these techniques   was at a minimum and saved the Government much time and   money in increasing the state of the art in audio countermeasures.2. Mr. McCord supervises his Division in a vigorous   manner and instills enthusiasm and esprit de corps within his   organization--a difficult task because of the extensive amount   of world-wide travel demandedfrom his subordinates.3. Through the efforts of Mr. McCord the establishment   of an Interagency Training Center for audio countermeasures is   proceeding in an orderly basis, and the first courses offered to   technical personnel in the intelligence community will begin this   fall. The Technical Division, PTOS, serves as the Executive   Agent for the operation of such school for the Community.4. In view of Mr. McCord's sustained high level of   performance of duties and the outstanding achievernent in the   research and development of new hardware and techniques in   the audio countermeasures field, it is recommended that   Mr. McCord be awarded a Quality Step Increase.![signature of James P.

# CONFIDENTIAL(When filled in)## TRAINING REPORTMANAGERIAL GRID SEMINAR (50 hours) DATES: 23-28 April 1967Student: James W. McCord, Jr. Office : OSYear of Birth: 1924 Service Designation SSGrade: 15 No. of Students : 46EOD Date: August 1951## COURSE OBJECTIVES AND METHODCourse objectives are to aid participants to: learn the managerial theories contained in the Grid; understand their personal managerial styles in Grid terms; evaluate convictions about managerial values; develop team action skills; increase candidness of communication; strengthen the use of critique for problem-solving and learning; and acquire an appreciation of Organization Culture and Development.The method of learning offers a challenge to all participants regardless of level or experience. A Grid Seminar is not "taught" in the usual sense. In Grid teams, participants solve complex management problems. Objective solutions are made available. Individual and team performance is repeatedly assessed. Various measuring instruments are used to evaluate effectiveness.Critique sessions assist each participant to understand how he might change his own behavior to increase his problem-solving effectiveness. Thus managers are not told the best way to manage, but they learn by convincing themselves.About twenty to thirty hours of study are completed as prework. Insights gained are deepened and personalized during the intensive 50-hour Seminar.## ACHIEVEMENT RECORDThis is a certificate of attendance only. No attempt was made to evaluate student achievement in this courou.FOR THE DIRECTOR OF TRAINING:
