One obvious measure of his strong, continued effectiveness, is that in any given week he receives more requests for guidance, CI file reviews, and other forms of CI support, than any of our other area division coordinators. On the other hand, because of his in-depth, across the board knowledge of LA's operational activities, he represents a unique resource to C/CI when the latter has to respond knowledgeably and rapidly to inquires from the DDO level on LA related matters. On that score alone, C/CI has commented on his deep satisfaction with Mr. Piccolo's impressive performance.During the year, Mr. Piccolo led the team which conducted an in-depth CI and Operational Security Survey of Brasilia Station and its two Bases. The final report was well received by the Division and the Station, which began implementing certain of the team's suggested recommendations before its return to Headquarters. As with other CI survey reports, the Brasilia study was forwarded to the DDO and the DCI for their information. Mr. Piccolo is one of the more experienced survey officers, having participated in or led five station survey exercises in AF and LA Divisions.//continued//## SECTION E CERTIFICATION AND COMMENTSMONTHS EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN UNDER MY SUPERVISION14DATE10 Dec 19791.
