NOMINATION OF MR. RICHARD HELMS
Helms, Richard McGarrah Deputy- Director of Central Intelligence STATOTHR
Washington, D. C. 20505
Grade Federal Executive Salary Level III
Government Service 24 ears
Residence
Date and Place of Birth : Ala rrch 1913, t. Davids, Penn.
Education '1929-31 LeRosey, Rolle, Switzerland

Mr. Helms has been with the Central Intelligence Agency since the Agency's
creation after World War II. He began his career in intelligence work as a naval
officer with the Office of Strategic Services, a predecessor organization of CIA.
His brilliant wartime service was followed by outstanding performance as an
expert in Eastern European affairs. He became deputy to the Deputy Director
for Plans in 1953 and was in 1962 appointed Deputy Director for Plans by John A.
Mc Cone, then Director of Central Intelligence. In April 1965 President Johnson
appointed Mr. Helms the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence.
SUMMARY STATEMENT
Mr. Helms achieved his present position as Deputy Director of Central
Intelligence through distinguished service in a succession of career positions in
the Central Intelligence Agency and its predecessor organizations-a career of
more than two decades on the frontiers of foreign affairs. As Deputy Director
for Plans, he was the senior United States foreign intelligence operations officer.
As such, he managed with great success our country's clandestine foreign
intelligence programs, providing timely intelligence vital to our national defense
and security. As guardian of these operations he was also responsible for
conducting counter-intelligence measures necessary to prevent opposition elements
from damaging our efforts. Now, as Deputy Director of Central Intelligence, he
has responsibilities involving the organization, management, and effectiveness
of United States foreign intelligence activities which are of critical importance
to the success of our foreign policy objectives and to the security of the Free
World. Although Mr. Helms' achievements have not come to general public
attention because of the arcane nature of his work, he has performed a truly
outstanding service to the Nation during his unusual, if not unprecedented, career
in Government service.
