# SECRETCLASSIFICATION## SECTION D NARRATIVE COMMENTSIndicate significant strengths or weaknesses demonstrated in current routine keeping in proper perspective their relationship to overall performance State suggestions made for improvement of work performance Give recommengemister training Comment on foreign language competence, it required for current position. Amplity or explain ratings given in Section C to provide best basis for determining future personnel action Manner of performance of managerial or supervisory duties and cost consciousness in the use of cerel sware, equipment and funds, must be commented on, if applicable.This officer has worked under my supervision for approximately six months. This is the first fitness report I have prepared on him. After two field tours and his current assignment to Cuba Operations Group, he has developed into a solid and professional operations officer with the skills we hope our employees will develop. He is now highly motivated and creative in his work. He has demonstrated, particularly in recent months, a gratifying degree of drive and interest.He has handled one of our most productive and sensitive on-island assets. With his guidance this agent has produced, within the past six months, some of the highest quality intelligence on Cuban plans and intentions this Agency has obtained. Because this agent must be serviced via TDV travel, the responsible case officer must be able to work with very little guidance and have the tradecraft skills and reports writing ability to work largely on his own. With this case Mr. Flores has demonstrated himself to be a first-class agent handler, highly attuned to operational information and quality intelligence production.As Section Chief I have relied upon him heavily to provide the institutional memory our work demands. He has full grasp of all operations directed against Cuban officials, not only in those countries under his direct responsibility, but throughout Latin America. Since all of the officers in this section travel frequently to meet and debrief agents, Mr. Flores has frequently acted as Section Chief during the absence of the other two officers, a GS-14 position. He has been able to handle the job well both.## SECTION E CERTIFICATION AND COMMENTSMONTHS EMPLOYEE NAD BEENUNDER MY SUPERVISIONIF THIS REPORT HAS NOT SEEN SHOWN TO EMPLOYEE, GIVE EXPLANATIONDATEOFFICIAL TITLE OF SUPERVISORC/LA/COG/WHATYPED OR PRINTED NAME AND SIGNATURELeonard D/Therty2.

BY REVIEWING OFFICIALCOMMENTS OF REVIEWING OFFICIALI agree with the ratings given by the rating officer.. Mr. Flores is indeed a fing operations officer and should have an exceptionally successful career in operations. The only weakness in him that I have ever noted is an occasional lack of drive and self-motivation and as noted by the rating officer, particularly in recent months, he seems to have cured this and has indeed been going at a fast pace.Mr. Flores is leaving Cuba Operations Group for a rotational tour in the Office of Training. I believe that when he finishes this tour, he should return for an operational assignment in the Latin America area. He is an exceptionally fine case officer, has a native command of Spanish, and has a way of dealing with his agents that gets the most out of them. Aiture tours for him should involve supervision of younger case cofficers and he should begin to move into the managerial aspects of grerations.DATEOFFICIAL TITLE OF REVIEWINGChief, LAVACTYPED OR PRINTED NAME IND CONATUREThosas A.
