Subject has performed in a manner quite consistent with his long and broad ex-
perience in many aspects of the craft of intelligence, His senior grade, his special
expertise in the field of propaganda and publication and his very high intellect
have contributed to the division's operations in the public media field a sharp
focus, an economical concentration of money and effort and a consequently
heightened impact. In the WUHUSTLER project, Subject vindicated his faith in
a moribund clandestine asset by demonstrating, after about a year and a half under
his personal direction, that it is one of the most effective activities of its kind.
Before Subject assumed direct responsibility for this project, it had suffered from
visionary and diffuse direction and from poor case officer-agent rapport. Subject's
personal handling of this operation is marked by excellent rapport and the project
prospers on an entirely reoriented basis which the agent himself enthusiastically
welcomes.
Subject's supervisory responsibility has extended over two secretaries, from one
to two professional staffers under official cover and three professional career
employees under unofficial cover. The fairness and precision of his management
has patently won their respect and inspired their performance.

Section C (Continued)
Special mention should be made of Subject's objectivity and integrity in
carrying out his responsibilities. These were best demonstrated when
he promptly and swiftly terminated a large and effective radio broadcast-
ing project, to establish which he and his subordinates had labored hard,
immediately upon belated discovery that insuperable, practical obstacles
precluded realization of the project's theoretical potential.
Subject's professional background has attuned his constant attention to
FI operational opportunities arising in the course of his current CA
activities, a practice consistent with his habit of seeking maximum benefit
for every dollar spent in time, effort or cash.
