JMDUSK NOEMAYR's cover is that of an employee of | and this cover is effective in his dealings with non-operationad contacts. Subject's operational contacts are aware that he represents ODYOKE interests if not KUBARK's. NOEMAYR is a worker with tremendous energy and ability. He works “best in fields with which he has definite interest which presently encompass printed propaganda, student activity in the psychological warfare; prramtlitary and information collection fields, radio press and TV exploitation. NOEMAYR puts himself completely into his job excluding all other interests and on occasion his discourage- ment(shared by many at the Station over lack of specific policy to drive ahead as we would desire) has caused him to display patterns of social behavior which have presented handling problems. These have been taken care of by his supervisors to the satisfaction of all concerned and it is expected that there will be no recurrence of these problems. The above is not meant to cast any reflection whatsoever on the quality or the effectiveness of NOEMAYR's work. He has assured his supervisors that these problems are a thing of the past. a. NOEMAYR has showa that he is proficient in spotting, assessing, . recruiting and handling agents. He has had an ample supply of candidates in the student group which he handles, but has shown his versatility in training infiltration teams in ‘various fields, His physical and mental aptitudes for PM and Maritime activities make him a natural in these fields. b. NOEMAYR'’s production of CA, CI and especially FI information has shown improvement during the past year. While at first ‘his contacts were not providing him all the above information available to them, the situation has improved considerably and is improving further, NOEMAYR has no problems in living his cover and has no apparent stresses as a result of the dual life imposed upon us. He is: best at operating independently without strong support. He seems to make a better and stronger singleton operator than 4 ‘RYBAT

His outstanding handling of the language required for his job -both oral and written aids greatly in his work. There is no question that NOEMAYR is of long range interest : - to the clandestine services. After the present assignment I i believe a short course in covert training either at Headquarters or at Isotation would be of value. NOEMAYR could contribute greatly to the program as well as gain from the work done at either installation. 6. It is hoped that if the present Station is moved into the country of interest NOEMAYR will be able to go along, as his value will be enhanced even further in that country.
