Dear Pearre:
Reference my visit with you in late November, I sincerely
appreciate having had the opportunity to visit with you and to
discuss possible future connections with the Agency. As I*
mentioned at that time, I had not made any effort to contact any
other possible sources of employment, as before doing so I wanted
to get your advice as to the possibility of working in your activity
in which, I assure you, I am vitally interested. I appreciate the
encouragement which you gave"-and,-afte-r thinking the matter avex,
I have come to the following conclusions. I am still very much
interested in joining the Agency, although I realize that it offers
little from a financial viewpoint. However, this is not too
important. The above statement is not to be construed as a firm
commitment at this time on my part, in case you decide to offer
me something. I am starting to make some other contacts to
determine what they have to offer. Having decided quite some
time ago to serve until mandatory retirement rather than request
early voluntary retirement, I feel that I would not want to request
voluntary retirement unless something which was really overriding
developed.
A s I mentioned to you, I definitely want to live in
r the District of Columbia area. says the
Washington area is where we are going to locate, so suppose
that will be it. However, I would be willing to live or
a few years if something developed which required that I do so.
I hope the above gives you the information required in
considering whether or not you desire to give my application
further consideration.
joins in best wishes to you and yours for the
Holiday Season.
Sincerely,
General C. P . Cabell., USAF' / -
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
