If estra space is needed to complete Section C, attach a separate sheet of paper:Following realignment of Station officer assignments last year, Subject was given the responsibility for operations against the MPCHEEK "hard target". He also assumed additional tasks in more traditional areas, such as coverage of the local government, penetration of the Communist Party, and press placement activity. The breadth of these operational commitments attests Subject's professional ability and versatility. (This would be a senior case officer's load by any description and Subject's performance at it was the reason behind our recommendation for accelerated promotion last year.) Particularly against the difficult MPCHEEK target, this officer has displayed admirable determination despite the inherent frustrations and disappointments of work- ing against this remote and suspicious group. During the period under review, his job has been the more difficult since the MPCHEEKS, in all probability reacting to a Station attempted recruitment operation (in which Subject played a major role), have withdrawn into a defensive shell which makes access operations verge on the impossible. Nevertheless, he has continued to probe their defenses, and has managed to develop two leads which, with the exercise of patience and application of his proven operational resources, could eventually give us access to the official MPCHEEK Mission here. This officer refuses to become discouraged, a quality officers working on hard targets must have.Special mention is made of Subject's successful bid to make recontact and establish regular meetings with a valuable penetration of the revolutionary government. The agent had broken contact with his former handler in the belief that such action was dictated by his security situation. Our choice of Subject to attempt to recontact this asset was dictated by his experience in dealing with skittish Latins and our belief that Subject could bring it off with tact, reading the situation /CONTINUED/## SECTION D CERTIFICATION AND COMMENTS### BY EMPLOYEE1.

Keenan3. BY REVIEWING OFFICIALCOMMENTS OF REVIEWING OFFICIALAs described, this officer is a steady and solid performer who carries a major case load securely, productively, and without complaint. He has even volunteered to take on additional work when he has seen opportunities to help the Station's overall mission. Because he blends in well on the local scene, he is often drafted for afl kinds of *ad hoc* operational work. This is invariably well done. He is operationally aggressive but also shows lively awareness of the tricky operational climate here and does not push breyond what the traffic will bear. His agents respect his seriousness, which permits him to get more utility out of them. He is a pillar of this Station.DATE OFFICIAL TITLE OF REVIEWING OFFICIAL TYPED OR PRINTED NAME AND DIGNATURE2 July 1973 Chief of Station /s/ Pichard S. KolchCONFIDENTIAL
