COMMENTS OF REVIEWING OFFICIAL                | BY REVIEWING OFFICIAL TYPED OR PRINTEO NAME AND GIGNATURE /s/ George A. Fill  |In writing a comment on his Fitness Report in January 1973, I spoke of what a loss he will be to the Station. Because of overlap problems, he will have retired soon after the new COS arrives and before the new DCOS has come. It is typical of him that lie has offered to perform introductions to some of his contacts even after retirement. He will be in Mexico and, while the Station must be careful to protect him in his new status, he probably will think of the Station first when he runs on to things of interest.|                    |                                          |                                                    || ------------------ | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- || DA72. 22XJune 1973 | OFFICIAL TITLE OF REVIEWING OFFICIAL COS | TYPED OR PRINTED NAME AND SIGNATURE /s/John Horton |CONFIDENTIAL
