Ou 1. As Ne. David E. Murphy, GS-18, retires on 31 July 1975, he will bave completed somé 33 yearn of Federal service, 27 of which have been with the Apency. His record has been an outstanding one {in all renpects, His accomplishments and the level and range of res- ponstbilfetes he has exercised fully warrant the award of the DLutingulshed Intelligence Medal in recognition thereof..." ; , 2, Mr. Murphy brought to the Agency from his previous military and civilian experience and atudy, a knowledge of the Rusafan language and of the Sovice system. It was in the field of Sovict operations that he rapidly made hia mark, first in [and then ine Germany. His inetsive mind, vitality, enthusiasm, imagination, managerial talent and keen analytienal ability led to early recognition on the part of his superfors that Mr. Murphy was an outatanding officer with very high potential. By 1954, he had risen to the position of pcob, Berlin and in 1959 became Chief of that large and iinportane base. He distinguished himself there, “In recognition of hin abilities and accomplishments he then rose suceeastvely to the position of DU/EK Division, C/FE Division, C/SR Division and C/SB Division. Each asgignaent was one of increagling responsiblifity and challenyve in the direction of efforces of the Clandestine Service and the Agency against our hardest targets. The laudatory fitness reports he received from top Agency management in these asuignaments clearly reflect the high professional repard in which he was held and convey the judgments of the major significance of the contributions he made to the Anency mission in support of U.S. policy and national security. 3. After cevitaliazing and redirecting our Soviet program aa C/SR and of the enlarged 5B Division, Mr. Murphy. was appointed COS, in 1968 and served in that position until L974. His olx years inl] were marked by steady progress in aj] arcas of the missions and objectives : assigned to that large and complex station and by the handling of delicate polittcal and internal criulsn situa~ tions effectively and to the benefit of the Agency and the United States. His analyses of the situation in at times of tension and erlsis were particularly remarked upon for their clarity, incisiveness and value to U.S. policy makers. Por his leadership of the Station, Mr. Murphy's performance was characterf{zed a8 ' in each of the years of his service there. “outcstanding' “war? CONFIGS TEL |
Stirinererpsp t oir iici: IL - Oyler 4. Mr. Murphy returned COO tn 1974 and was assigned as a National intelligence Cfiicer with responsibility to the DCL in the area of Special Activities. Ne has served in this assignment of high trust and res- ponsibility until his rettlrement, ~ 5. Mr. Murphy's long, distinguished career has been exceptional in contributing to the mission of the Agency both operationally and substantively. His dedication, ‘drive and intelligence led to high achievement in all of his assignments and to his being entrusted with ever- increasing responsibilities. It is strepgly recommended that he be awarded the Distinguished intelligence Medal in recognition of his outstanding service in the CIA.

At the end of May 1974, Mr. Murphy will leave after a most successful six-year assiynment a3 Chief of Station. He distinguished himself by having molded this Station. into a cohesive, well-disciplined, and highly productive unit. I reiterate my evaluation of Mr. Murphy as, overall, the most cf€fective chief of a major station in the European Division. His earlier fitness reports and his excellent record in attest to this. 2. In the past year under Mr. Murphy's direction, the Station has continued to make significant _ progress on all major fronts. As examples, I can cite two direct Soviet recruitment attempts, an imaginative effort to get closer to several other primary Sovict targets, a perceptible improvement in our | relationships, a marked increase in‘both quality and quantity of priority economic intelligence reporting, the acquisition of new sources to cover the internal scene, and a revitalization of several existing assets into producers of valuable intelligence. Although normally most of the credit for such achievements rests with the individual operations officers concerned, in. Mr. Murphy's case he personally becomes involved in each Sa a la a te eae eal ae Sr ee oe ae

It is .therefere all the nore noteworthy that the progress made by the Station has been accomplished without any embar- rassing flaps through Mr. Murphy's insistence that the highest standards of tradecraft be practiced by Station personnel and by visiting case officers, 3. Mr. Murphy can take considerable personal pride dn his record } His personal concern with all areas of Station activity and his common-sense approach to both operational and administrative matters are indicative of this officer's competence as one of this Ageneyv's most gifted sad thoroughly professional senior officers. His wide range of interests, his wealth of operational engagement, his ability to make well-reasoned and prompt decisions, his ageressiveness, and his persuasiveness are all hallmarks of Mr. Murphy's superb performance. Although _Mr. Murphy shows a lively impatience with bureaucratic roadblocks and cogently articulates his views on all issues, his correspondence with Headquarters is jnavariabiv presented factually and in a dignified and unemotional tone: this have appreciated and would like to add that Mr. Murphy promptiy implements Headquarters. guidelines and decisions. t = 4.0 Mr. Murphy's performance clearly merits the rating of OUSTANDING, . wivae aoe UE Archibald BR.
