MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: John Herlihy
(Career Counseling)
1. On this date, the Subject visited me, at his request,
to discuss his future in general terms. Specifically, he
wanted to remind me of a previously expressed interest of is
in the Special Agent in Charge position at the
Several months ago when I was still in the
John had expressed an interest in that particular area.
2. As I indicated in a memorandum last November, I
regard John as a very versatile officer, even though the
vast majority of his career has been in the Safety business.
Through his Safety endeavors he has become very familiar
with DDO operations'and has made many contacts. Further-
more, in his position as OS training officer and subsequently
as the Deputy Chief of Support in OTS he has broadened his
knowledge and experience. He has managed the Safety Group
very well since returning there in 1980.
3. We discussed the position. I
have no doubt that John has the communications skills for
that position. He is quite sensitive to people and a good
leader. The drawback would be his total lack of field
office experience. He has never served in a field office.
On the other hand, he has participated in several agent's
training courses. Furthermore, on the plus side he would
move easily with the
etc., in the ever rowin liaison and support role. I would
not assign John unless he were backed up by a very
strong technician in the ASAC position, and I told him so.
4. Since John is interested in working with the field
office, I suggested that perhaps a better entr would be in
an ASAC position at the where his
training and communications skills could be utilized.

year to enable his people to do some overseas inspections.
