RYBATCSTD17 April 1962MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Chief, WESUBJECT: Mr. James A. NoelFitness Report Covering the Period 14 August 1961 to31 March 19621. Mr. Noel assumed his duties as Chief of Station, Madrid on 23 September 1961. The Station, as constituted when Mr. Noel arrived, included some 21 staffers plus numerous contract personnel, as well as a two man base in Barcelona. The Madrid Station proper not only includes the Embassy installation but an outside operations section as well. Since Mr. Hoel arrived the Station has been launched into a Cuban operations program of considerable scale and on a crash basis. In addition, in this period, one State cover slot was withdrawn, and the experienced Chief of Base, Barcelona had to be brought home due to a family emergency.2. To date Mr. Noel has given every evidence of a particular ability to cope with the crash program and the acute shortage of personnel with judiciousness and maturity. While it is too early, yet, to pass judgement, there are indications that Mr. Noel has been preoccupied with Cuban problems (an area of special interest to him) to the detriment of lower priority but, nonetheless, necessary Spanish targets (for example, contact with the local opposition and a budding effort against the Spanish Communist Party).3. As indicated above, Mr. Noel has not been in place as Chief of Station long enough to justify firm reservations concerning his management, nor to permit meaningful criticism. Also, as indicated above, his outstanding noticeable strength to date has been his ability to cope with a heavy operational program, a shortage of personnel, and a sometimes difficult operational climate, with judgement, calmness and patience.THOMAS F.

SECRET26 October 1960MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of PersonnelSUBJECT:-James A. Noel -Memorandum in Lieu of Fitness ReportMr. James A. Noel arrived in Havana, in September of 1958, a trifle more than three months before Fidel Castro assumed power on 1 January 1959. With the advent of that new government Cuba became, so far as U.S. economic and political interests are concerned, one of the most important spots in the world, as well as increasingly more difficult to conduct CIA business. As a result, with the constant worsening of Cuban-U.S. relationship, it is doubtful that there is at the present time a more difficult assignment than Havana in this Division. Nevertheless, with an extremely limited staff, Noel has been able to continue, and even extend, his operations to the point where almost every significant phase of Cuban life is covertly covered. When the increase of anti-U.S. feeling is considered, to say nothing of the increase of effectiveness of the Cuban counterintelligence resulting from its direction by Soviet professionals, it is amazing that Noel has been able to produce the great volume of important reports which he has sent. He has conducted some extremely delicate operations in the face of almost certainty of discovery. In all this, however, he has offered leadership of a high quality to his staff and has been a fine example of good morale, which is reflected in the attitude of every member of his staff, all of whom respond readily and without complaint to the demands made of them by their surrounding circumstances. Mr. Noel deserves to be warmly commended for a job well done.C. KINGChiefWestern Hemisphere DivisionREVIEWED BYW. Poyd George forChief of Operations, DD/PSECRET
