S-E-C-R-E-TSECTION CNARRATIVE COMMENTSSignificant strengths and weaknesses and their relationship to overall performance in the Operations Course. This section amplifies and explains, as necessary, the rating letters given above.Mr. Piccolo's performance throughout the course seldom deviated from the "Proficient" level. His strongest showings were frequently in areas where he used knowledge gained from previous Agency experience together with his natural ability to get along with people in face-to-face situations. Ho excelled in agent handling because he made an extra effort to establish and maintain rapport, was competent in solving operational administration and support matters with a minimum of guidance, and was imaginative in devising cover and in establishing clandestine communications. Shortcomings, however, arose in other areas because he occasionally relied too much on his ability to improvise, rather than to spend extra time in analyzing, planning and otherwise preparing for agent meetings.Mr. Piccolo easily recognized leads of operational or intelligence value, and as the course progressed, displayed marked improvement in his writing of cables, dispatches and reports.Mr. Piccolo acquired a more than satisfactory knowledge of the principles and techniques taught during the course.FOR THE DIRECTOR OF TRAINING:![Signature of Jawedd Freder]Jawedd FrederChief Instructor24 July 1964Date-3-S-E-C-R-E-T
