# SECRETSECTION E NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF MANNER OF JOB PERFORMANCEStress strengths and weaknesses demonstrated in current position. Indicate suggestions made to employee for improvement of his work. Give recommendations for his training. Describe, if appropriate, his potential for development and for assuming greater responsibilities. Amplify or explain, if appropriate, ratings given in SECTIONS B, C, and D to provide the best basis for determining future personnel actions.Subject is a strong officer from every important point of view. He is experienced, intelligent, alert, aggressive, extremely hard working and conscientious. He is never satisfied with the status quo but is constantly striving to acquire new operational assets or to improve the functioning or production of old or current projects. He is tough-minded and abundantly endowed with intellectual as well as physical courage. If he has any one weakness, it is his impatience with subordinate officers and employees who do not tackle their operational duties with the same degree of zeal that he himself applies. His direct and forceful manner in calling such shortcomings to the attention of case officers under his direction has, on infrequent occasions, caused some minor and transitory resentment. In most cases, however, it has also resulted in improvement in the attitude and performance of the officer in question.Subject is especially effective in his dealings with high level liaison officers and the fact that our relations with the various security services are currently on a cordial and more productive basis is due mainly to the thought, energy and time which Subject has devoted to this important activity. At the same time, subject has not permitted liaison considerations to inhibit the planning and development of independent operations and agents. In this connection he has been especially effective in developing valuable assets for third country (Cuban) operations.Subject has an outgoing personality: makes friends easily, especially among Latins. He is a mature person who is respected by his Station colleagues and by the senior ODACID and other agency representatives with whom he maintains contact. He has direct supervision over nine officers and clerks. He is a good administrator. He writes effectively.SECTION F CERTIFICATION AND COMMENTS1.
