Amplify or explain ratings given in Section B to provide best basis for determining future personnel action.

His performance of those duties has been characterized by vigor and imagination. Concrete results have been achieved. The Station's performance in connection with all phases of this top priority activity, carried out under Subject's supervision, has been the subject of commendatory comments from Headquarters. In addition to direction the Station's own Cuban operations, Subject has been frequently called upon to support other Stations in connection with various phases of their Cuban operations, particularly in making both "warm" and "cold" approaches to high level diplomatic candidates for defection. These assignments have been undertaken by Subject with much enthusiasm and a high degree of professionalism. As a matter of fact, Subject was away from Madrid on these and similar missions for 120 days during calendar year 1962.In the conduct of the Cuban operations, Subject has direct supervision over four officers and indirect supervision of the debriefing center, the intelligence processing shop and all activities relating to the recruitment, training and dispatching of agents. Through personal liaison with leading Spanish intelligence and security service officials, he has been most successful in obtaining their cooperation in support of our operations.
