for subsequent assignment of the highest national priority to
this problem. In a letter to the Director of CIA, the Comman4INTL
of the Naval Intelligence Command commended effor-.
and said among other things that her "complete dedication,
balanced sense of humor, impartial judgment and above all her
exceptional managerial. talents were largely responsible for the
effective synthesis of the efforts of the various members of the
working group, each of whom brought to the working, table diverse
experience and professional specialities." In addition to her
STATINTL work with the CCPC, has regularly represented CIA on
other high level interdepartmental working groups on intelligence
STATINTL issues. In March 1973 was formally named Acting
Chairman of the CCPC and continues to serve in that capacity.
In addition. to her heavy responsibilities with the CCPC, Miss
STATINTL II was appointed in January 1972 Deputy Chief of one of the
Agency's senior staffs. In 1975 she was named Chief of this
staff. This staff, consisting of 139 employees, is responsible
for a variety of diverse activities concerning guidance, coordi-
nation, and collection of clandestine intelligence. This staff
is of critical importance to the Operations Directorate of the
Agency.

(9) Detailed statement of basis for nomination (continued)
In addition to her interagency activities, haSTATINTL
made an especially vital contribution to the CIA through her
work on intelligence collection problems and her expertise in
intelligence community matters. The latter knowledge and
experience was especially valuable to the CIA in a period in
1970 and 1971 which involved reorganization of the intelligence
STATINTL community and drafting of new directives. Recognition should
also be given to continuing efforts to increase
opportunities for women in th.e CIA career service and in
furthering the principles of Equal Employment Opportunity. The
STATINTL sensitive nature of work makes a detailed discussion
of her many accomplishments impossible. That she is regarded
with high esteem not only by this Agency but by the intelligence
community as well is attested to by commendations from outside
CIA such as that cited above. We believe that STATINTL
record of 34 years of exceptional service as a professional
intelligence officer unquestionably warrants the public
acknowledgement which this award confers.

rteen years
n CIA have been marked by three
principal achievements. First, in eight years with the Operations
Directorate she compiled an enviable record of accomplishment, in
both Washington and the field. During this stage, increasing
responsibilities were rapidly conferred upon her. Second,
demonstrated a remarkable facility in a three-year assignment inSTATINTL
the Intelligence Directorate, where she quickly became a senior
analyst, first in research and then in current intelligence, on
Soviet affairs.

Third, over the last two years has applied this
unusual combination of experience, along with her own outstanding
gifts, to the challenging tasks of the National Intelligence Officer
system. As Assistant NIO/USSR and Eastern Europe, she has played a
key role in creating a community of Soviet analysts among the intel-
ligence agencies, promoting cooperation between collectors and
producers; and making their work responsive to governmental policy
concerns.

'falls into three phases involving a steady increase in the scope of her
responsibilities: from 1952 to 1954 she was an analyst in the economic
warfare field. In the next period, from 1954 to 1964, she was the
coordinator for all covert action programs in the East Asia area. In
1964 her responsibilities were expanded to take in the management of
all operational programs in that geographical area, intelligence collec-
tion and counterintelligence as well as covert action. This has been a

STATI TL The nomination of is based on three factors: (1) her
sustained superior performance, as detailed in. paragraph 7 above;
(2) the substantial monetary savings to the U. S. Government achieved.
by the budgetary processes devised and managed by her;. and (3) the
pioneering nature of her work in the budgetary/planning field. The
last factor is perhaps the crucial one. Partly because of its sheer
size (involving management of thousands of employees and hundreds of
millions of dollars), the Directorate's East Asia budget has required
an exceptional degree of close management. has provMINTL
this in an outstanding manner. There were no precedents or tested
guidelines for this process, and so she was obliged: to devise her own
methodology applying basic principles of planning, programming and

immediate purpose, but also led to emulation of her techniques in.
other Divisions and in the Agency's Operations Directorate generally.

STATINTL is the sort of role which is absolutely essential to
professional management of the work of a major Government entity,

of quality of performance. It can be flatly stated that there have
STATINTLbeen no such lapses in performance. At all times she

pleased to extend to you an invitation to submit nominations from your
organization for the 16th annual Federal Woman's Award, to be presented
in October 1976 in Washington, D.C.
The vigorous interest in the Federal Woman's Award program shown each

role in its success. The program offers a valuable opportunity to pay high
tribute and to focus nationwide attention on the accomplishments of your
exemplary career women. I am sure you will want to start immediately on
the staff work that will lead to nomination of outstanding candidates from
your field offices, as well as your Washington headquarters.
We would like to remind the organizations that there are no restrictions
with regard to the age of women nominees.. While young women may not have
had lengthy careers, some of their contributions are very significant. The
Board is also conscious of the fact that the vast majority of nominations
are women in the upper grade levels and we would like to point out that women
who have attained a rank equivalent to grade GS-9 or above are eligible. We
would also like to remind the organizations that there is no limitation on
how often women may be nominated by their respective organizations, provided
they have not been a recipient of the award previously.
The closing date for receipt of nominations is May 28. A sample nomination
form, eligibility requirements, and criteria to be used in making selections
from among your women staff members are enclosed for your information.
Your organization may obtain additional forms by addressing a request to

Washington, D.C. 20415, or by calling 632-5568.
Your organization's participation in this important program will be most.
welcome. The Board joins me in anticipating the nominations of the highly
able and dedicated career women of your organization you believe qualified
for this honor.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
STATINTL
.1. 1 -1 letter does not reflect any well developed
concept of what he proposes to do. I get three points out of the
letter;
--That some undefined effort be made to establish a
"forum" for the "debate" of the role of intelligence in American
foreign policy and national life.
--That this forum be located at the JFK School of
Politics at Harvard.
--That this effort be "private and personal, separate
from any official connection with the Agency."
2. As to the first point, I am in favor of more academic
study of intelligence and I think that the Agency should be pre-
pared to cooperate with any good university that wishes to establish
course work or research programs in this field. By cooperating, I
mean providing unclassified materials, advice, and guest speakers.
I do not include financial assistance or control.
3. As to the second point, Harvard is obviously a more
prestigious institution than most for this kind of work. However,
it is Harvard which would have to make the decision to establish this
sort of program, not the Agency. In this respect, the Agency should
not take the lead, but should be responsive to requests for advice,
materials, etc.
4. As to the third point, 0 says the effort should be
private and personal, separate from any official connection with
the Agency. I recommend that we take him at this word and wait
and see what develops.

I asked II on 17 February for an amplification I
of his ideas for a memorial tol _j He said that
he had pretty much abandoned the idea of a forum/discussion
of intelligence at Harvard, in part because the Harvard
vice president for alumni affairs is not sure the idea can
be implemented. Chris is presently thinking'about
scholarship possibilities in dame, either at
Harvard or, better, at CIA. Chris has been in touch
with on the scholarship matter.
If you agree, I will send the above to Mr. Blake with
whatever comments you would-like to add. it
