1. On 25 August 1966 you requested my comment on the attached recom-
mendation from the Chief, WH Division, that the Director sign individual c Lte -
dons for each of the
2. Because of the nature of this problem, I have in turn sought the views
of the Director of Personnel and the Honor and Merit Awards Board. The re-
actions of the Board are summarised in the following note froai its last meeting:

25X1
"In considering this proposal, the Board reviewed its own
earlier action as reflected in the Board Minutes of 29 September
1964 and again 13 October 1965. Upon those occasions the Board
determined that a unit citation was unnecessary and undesirable.
Notwithstanding those past actions, we thoroughly reviewed the
present proposal on its own merits. It was the unanimous conclu-
sion of the Board that this action would set a most difficult and nt un-
fortunate' precede; we noted that individuals included 25X:1
in this group have already been singled out for an Agency award;
and finally, that the appropriate action in this instance would be
a single letter from the Director to 25X1
commending the station for the work it per-
formed over the year and carrying the provision that copies of the
memorandum be placed in the appropriate official personnel files--
having been brought to the attention of the employees concerned.
3. Both the Director of Personnel and I share the views of the Honor and
Merit Awards Board in this situation. We recommend against individual cita-
tions and suggest Instead a letter from the Director along the tines proposed
by the Board. If this is acceptable, we would be very glad to assist the Chief
lin preparing such a letter.

1. This memorandum contains a request for action by the
Director as stated in Paragraph 3 below.
2. The performance of the and
over the past year, culminating in the successful
has been highly meritorious and commendable.
This was a real team effort in which each officer and employee
gave more than a full measure of service. Due recognition should
be accorded to the individuals who contributed to this performance
and since this includes all PCS officers and employees as well as a
few others I believe the most appropriate form of recognition
would be a citation from the Director to the entire group. Attached
for the Director's signature are copies of such a citation in the
name of each officer and employee. I believe this citation will
constitute appropriate official recognition of the meritorious
service which this group has performed and that the Director's
signature to each individual certificate will add a most valued
personal touch. After delivery to the individual each certificate
would be returned for deposit in the respective personnel files.
