The Director of Central Intelligence
awards the Distinguished Intelligence Medal to
VERNON A. WALTERS
Lieutenant General, United States Army
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
in recognition of his outstanding performance of his moral and legal
responsibilities as the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence.
General Walters intensively learned the details of the Agency's
mission, organizational structure and activities. His exceptional
talents in human relations made him a highly effective representative
of the organization in dealings with foreign intelligence officials and
other members of the United States Government. Behind his outward
appearance of informality and conviviality, he displayed the highest
qualities of moral integrity and rigid adherence to his constitutional
responsibilities, despite a number of severe pressures to lead him
to a contrary position. General Walters' actions made a major
contribution to the Central Intelligence Agency and reflect great
credit on him, the United States Army, and the Federal service.

 Vernon A. Walters
Lieutenant General, United States Army
is hereby awarded the
Career Intelligence Medal
in recognition of his exceptional contributions in the field of intelligence. In his years as
Deputy Director, the Central Intelligence Agency continually relied on and benefitted from
General Walters' fine judgment, invaluable experience in foreign affairs, outstanding tal-
ents and warm personality. His tenure as DDCI coincided with the most turbulent period
of Agency history, preempting both time and effort of the four Directors under whom he
served and thus rendering his role as Deputy even more critical. In this time of troubles,
General Walters' remarkable talents and abilities gave brilliant service to the essential task
of maintaining the confidence of allies abroad and authoritatively reassuring cooperating
foreign intelligence services of this Agency's continuing ability to perform. General
Walters' steadfastness, his integrity and his courage have reflected the highest credit on
him, the Central Intelligence Agency and the United States of America.
