CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
2 November 1962
MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, National Photographic
Interpretation Center
SUBJECT : Commendation
1. As Director of Central Intelligence and on behalf of the
entire intelligence community as well as the United States Govern-
ment, I wish to commend you and the personnel under your command
for the outstanding work you have been performing, especially during
the past four months of the Cuban buildup.
2. Your analysis and interpretation of the Cuban photography
and the manner in which you reported your findings to the President,
his principal policy advisers, most particularly the Secretary of
State and the Secretary of Defense, and the entire intelligence com-
munity have been of the highest order.
3. I have full knowledge of the tremendous pressures and long
working hours with which NPIC was confronted. I regret that the
anonymity required of a professional intelligence agency such as yours
prevents public acknowledgment of NPIC accomplishments. You and
your people should take great pride in your accomplishments as well
as in your ability to perform them without public acclaim.
