Mr. Flores 1s indeed a fine operations officer and should have an exceptionally successful career in operations, The only weakness in him that I have ever noted is an occasional lack of drive and self-motivation and as noted by the rating officer, particularly in recent months, he seems to have cured this and has indeed been guving at a fast pace. Mr. Flores is leaving Quba Operations Greup for a rotational four in the Office of Training, I believe that when he finishes this tour, Re should return for an operational assignment in the Latin America area, He is an exceptionally fine ease olftcer, has a native conmeid of Spanish, and has a way of dealing with his agents that xets the most out of them.
