DD/S / 22 June 1962
25X1A9a
1. I received a telephone call from which
didn't make too much sense to me. I remember that she had worked as an employee
STATSPEC several years ago when I was the Chief of that service. Apparently she was
discharged from the Agency for psychiatric reasons and became eligible for a
disability retirement. She said, however, that she is not psychiatrically disabled
25X1A9a and wants to get the record strai htened. She asked me if I had heard from Mr.
who, according to is stationed in_ I told her I had 25X1A6a
25X1A9a not and had heard nothing of her case. I did say, however, that if she chose to
write to me I would certainly look into her case and 'she would hear from me regarding
it.
2. I had a very frank, friendly, and quite satisfactory talk with
I told him that I tried to take an interest in all of the senior people in the DD/S area
and upon the occasion of his assignment to the Office of Training I had carefully
reviewed his file. I pointed out that, while there were many complimentary remarks
in the file concerning his intellectual knowledge of operations, etc., almost without
fail each of his efficiency reports referred in varying degrees to his inability to deal
effectively with people. I said that I thought, regardless of his other abilities, his
value as a staff officer in many cases would depend upon his ability to deal with
people and that, unless he can do so effectively, he cannot take the load from his line
supervisor, who has every right to expect this. I tol hat I had approved
of his assignment as Chief of the Planning Staff, OTR, with some reluctance, although
I would certainly have welcomed him into the Office of Training as an instructor. I
encouraged him to review his file and fitness reports because I thought the consistent
theme which I had pointed out would become apparent to him. I further emphasized
my strong support for and belief in management training for our senior people and
ur o work hard to improve his handling of people in administrative situations.
Dr said that he had never reviewed his fitness reports and that he certainly
wou o so. He also said that in his entire experience in CIA he had never had such
a conversation with any supervisor and that he appreciated my doing this very much.
I told him that I hoped he would have a successful, profitable, and interesting tour
in OTR. (I have advised Matt Baird of the substance of this conversation.)
