1. 1 should ?ikft to su&est for your consideration that Lt.

is duties since he has been stationed on the 'Aest Cost.
I shenla like to recommend the Legien of Merit eward.
2. In the thirteen months that he has been stationed here,
OSS has green fram a very small activity to one that now operates
=teem permanent installations and three tempoeary ones. Much of
th* burtau of acquiring* building* equiplAns, and servicing thtse
unite h,as been borne by Co]. Tohnson without assistance other than
secretarial help. nis duties have involved aleo the coordination
o eivilian personnel requirements with vlashingten Headquarters,
OSS* and a rariety of allied functions that do not normally come
*thin the scope of *Services,' such as hsadlinc transportatioill
billottag* arranglice for rations* etc.
