Geer BACKGROUND: --Jim Geer has served in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for 25 years. Some of the positions he has held include Head of Lab, SAC Dallas, and he also served a stint on the House Appropriations Committee. He became the Assistant Director in Charge of Counterintelligence on 1 August 1985. --Jim has studied Serbo-Croatian and still speaks it. --Jim is an outstanding athlete. While golf is his preferred sport -- and he is quite good at it -- he also is a fine tennis player. He and I have seldom been defeated. His wife is also an outstanding tennis player. --Jim will be going to Wilmington with Dupont. We expect to continue to see Jim on occasion. --Jim has been exceptionally helpful to the Agency in a number of areas, including, in particular, a wide range of counterintelligence matters. I In all major espionage cases which have occurrecFdi?the past five years, Jim has been totally forthcoming and cooperative with us. His performance on the Hill has been highlighted by a friendly attitude toward our Agency. He has stressed time and time again that the FBI/CIA cooperation and relations are at their very best. POINTS TO BE MADE BY DCI: --I understand you will be leaving the area but chose Wilmington because it is close enough to get back here on weekends to team up with on the tennis court, SECRET STAT Declassified in Part- Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/11/12: CIA-RDP91B01306R000500010004-2 STAT Declassified in Part- Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/11/12: CIA-RDP91B01306R000500010004-2 SECRET where I understand you are a practically unbeatable twosome. Perhaps private life will give you some time to play during the week as well. --Your tenure of over four years in a most demanding position at the FBI coincides with a period of increased recognition of the counterintelligence threat facing our nation, and significant progress in meeting it, both of which are due in no small part to your efforts. --You have been in the forefront of those who understand that teamwork and cooperation among all members of the Counterintelligence Community are essential to success. The Conrad and Hall/Yildirim cases come to mind as successful models for the future. --You have been especially helpful to this Agency, for example, providing FBI officers on extended detail to assist our counterintelligence programs overseas, and you have stressed both in and outside the Bureau how critically important it is that we have a close working relationship between our two organizations at all levels. --We thank you for all you have done and will miss you. We wish you every success in your new role. 2 SECRET Declassified in Part- Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/11/12: CIA-RDP91B01306R000500010004-2
