11 APR 1967MEMORANDUM IN LIEU OF FITNESS REPORTSUBJECT : Mr. Robert P. Wheeler, GS-16, O/PPB,.Employee Serial No. 060947, D Career ServiceREFERENCE: HR 20-20c(2)1. In accordance with reference, this memorandum is submitted in lieu of a Fitness Report (Form 45). This is an annual report and covers the period 1 August 1966 through 31 March 1967.2. Mr. Wheeler's assignment as Program Analyst involves:(a) reviewing and evaluating Agency activities or programe, principally in the areas of clandestine collection and covert action; (b) participating in special in-depth studies of selected Agency activities; (c) preparing Program Memoranda for the Director's approval and submission to the Bureau of the Budget; (d) keeping abreast of Agency plans, programs, and progress toward defined objectives; (c) providing general staff assistance to the Director/PPB in implementing the Agency PPB system; and (f) preparing special presentations and correspondence for the Office of the Director.3. Mr. Wheeler has many years of experience in clandestine operations and administration, both at Headquarters and in the field. This experience has proven to be of great value to this Office in assessing Agency activities. Mr. Wheeler has been quick to see the usefulness of the new planning, programming, and budgeting concept as a tool for assisting management at all levels in the Agency. He has enthusiastically supported the development of a system adapted to Agency needs and has made significant contributions toward this end.4. Currently, Mr. Wheeler is participating in three studies of Ageney activities: an Inspector General survey of Agency proprietary organizations and two studies which were requested by the Bureau of the Budget--Agency use of communications media for political-psychological programs and Agency air capabilities at two selected facilities. In addition, Mr. Wheeler is in the process of preparing a Program Memorandum for the Director's approval which presents Agency Covert Action plans and programs for the next five years.

YOUR TRAINING OBJECTIVES   To get a broad introduction to the concepts of PPBS and to learn what some other non-military elements of the Executive Branch are doing with the PPBS.5. EVALUATION OF PROGRAM (Includes a. Strengths and weakne of program. b. Identily any outstanding speakera and their specille sopics of area of instructional competence.)   I thought that from a broad, general standpoint the orientation was worthwhile but that far more BOB participation would have enhanced the program greatly. There was too much of "we think this is what BOB means" and too little of BOB saying "this is what we mean". I found the movie presentation of Dr. E. S. Quade's speech terrible because of inept projection, faulty audio equipment, and out-of-place music. Dr. Quade had a message and fortunately the CSC planoers must have known their film was inadequate, for we were provided with the written text. Outstanding possibly because he stood out so far in comparison to the others was Mr. Peter Szanton from BOB. Dr. Adams from the University of Maryland was quite good and Mr. Greenhouse of VA was one of the few others who really seemed to know what he was talking about beyond immediate low to medium level parochial application.6.

MEMORANDUM IN LIEU OF FITNESS REPORTName:Date of Birth: 10/04/15Sex: MaleGrade: GS-16SD: DOfficial Title: Chief of BaseAssignment: DDP/DOD/USSCurrent Station: Honolulu, HawaiiAppointment: CareerReporting Period: 1 April 1965 - 31 March 19661. During the past year it has clearly emerged that the Honolulu area offers very limited opportunities for CS operational action. The main target of a Honolulu base, as originally conceived by FE Division, was the East-West Center with its large number of Asian students. Although, during the 1964-65 academic year several prospective candidates for the WUENVOY program were assessed and one recruited, political developments in Southeast Asia prevented the arrival of any students at the Center from the priority Southeast Asian countries: Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia.2. It is against this perspective that Subject's performance during the past year should be evaluated. He approached his job with enthusiasm and vigor but soon found that there were no tangible operational activities ho could devote himself or his supporting agents to. He has been frank to state officially and unofficially the absence of any targets to which an operational base could direct itself and has therefore been relatively unoccupied during this period except for an occasional item of local coordination or follow-up on a headquarters task. Subject has had under his direct supervision a long-term Staff Agent at the University of Hawaii and two Staff Agents assigned to the
[104-10291-10002.pdf — page 151]
University as students for the current academic year. He has handled them well and has done his best to maintain their morale in spite of the fact that there were only a few specific targets on whom they could systematically work.3. Subject is a mature, experienced and energetic officer with both operational and scholarly interests in Far Eastern, especially Japanese, affairs. His talents are obviously being wasted in Honolulu and arrangements have already been made to have him reassigned. The base itself will be phased down in the summer of 1966 with two of the three Staff Agents reassigned, the long-term Staff Agent kept on at the University, and a more junior officer replacing Subject as COB.4. Subject has displayed an economical approach to the use both of funds and personnel.5. In view of the limitations, outside his control, on operational activities in Honolulu, Subject's performance has been more than satisfactory and is rated as proficient.CERTIFICATION AND COMMENTSBY EMPLOYEE (not available for signature)Date:Mos. under my supervision15 months BY SUPERVISORDate: 30 MAR 1965 COS/USBY REVIEWING OFFICIALHarry J.

MEMORANDUM IN LIEU OF FITNESS REPORTSUBJECT:DCB: 4 October 1915HaloG3-15Deputy Chief of StationTokyoAnnual Report For the Period 1 April 1963 - 31 March 1964In preparing this memorandum in lieu of submitting Fitness Report Form 45, I can only set forth my yearly reiteration that Subject is a senior, well-experienced, wall-motivated, high caliber KUBARK officer who has been in his present grade, 03-15, since 1957. His high standard of contribution to the Station as its Deputy Chief of Station continuos unfailingly. Tokyo Station operations encompass a broad spectrum of internal and external targets emphasizing denied arca operations. To keep on top of this activity it needs a man of energy backed up by sound operational knowledge and Subsect has carried this job capably and with a will. I would certainly grade him "S" in performance evaluation.Tokyo Station is widely dispersed and I have urged Subject on several occasions to get out to the various operational clemonts in an attempt to get closer to and stimulate the working care officers. After one or two starts he has not kept this up on a continuing basis, remaining at his Embassy desk and invariably working through the individual branch chiefs. I am convinced more effort on his part in this field could have resulted in more yield to the Station from his long area and operations experience.Subject actively participates in the operational review and budget preparation of the. Station and has shown a definite cost consciousness.Subject'e long tenure in Japan and experience with things Japanese are well-known and the pro's and con's of the value of an officer remaining in one area for the major portion of his tine with KUBARK (possibly to the detriment of his career) have been discussed to a sufficient degree as to rule out further reference in this memorandum. Subjectis scheduled to leave the Japan Station and enter an assignment where his operational talents will be of groat value.In any considerations concerning Subject being conducted by any personnel board or by any official of the Agency interested in KIPARK personnel, the significant points are Subjectis a deeply motivated, highly capable officer who has been in his current grade too long.Certification:By Mmployee:This memorandum was read by Subjectand discussed with him in draft.

Transmitted VIA7JIT 10,34430 April 1963MEMORANDUM IN LIEU OF FITNESS REPORT FOR PERIOD:9 October 1962-31 March 1963Robert P. WheelerA review of the file reflects that has been constantly rated as a well-motivated, superior officer always willing to spend the "extra effort" by a variety of supervisors. During the rating period there has been no diminution in the caliber of professionalism or in the time and effort this man has contributed to the work of the Tokyo Station. He is a distinct asset. Over and above his drive and professionalism, brings to the Station a full background concerning intelligence activities having been associated with such activities in Japan for the last seventeen years, either with the military or as a member of the Agency. All of this time he has been in Japan except for a period of almost three years in Washington.has a proficiency in the Japanese language and due to his long tenure in Japan has contacts at a variety of levels.In sum, the Agency has in a superior officer with long background and continuity in Japan, who can and is making a highly significant contribution to the Agency's objectives in Japan.The above has stressed solely ability to contribute to KUPARK objectives in Japan. However, there is no doubt in the rater's mind that could perform in a superior manner no matter to what geographical area he was assigned.Serial Number 060947, DOB: 4 Oct 1915, GS-15, D Designee, DCCS, Tokyo StationWilliam V.

As a supervisor, he is firm and fair, and achieves the respect of his subordinates. As a subordinate, he is unfailingly loyal and helpful. He has a good overall grasp of the intelligence business and maintains a healthy attitude of common sense with respect to operations. He is especially useful in Japan, because of his great knowledge of and long experience with Japanese affairs, personalities and psychology, yet I consider he would be a superior officer and supervisor in any other context.
