SUBJECT: Mrs. Eolene F. Vincent: Recommendation
fo`r romotion to GS-9

nine years with the Agency in intelligence analysis and counter intel-
ligence analysis. She has been assigned to the as.a
analyst since August 1958. Her last promotion was effective
18 August 1963. For the second time in the last seven months, I am

along quickly in the lower officer grades, Mrs. Vincent and those

based on strong performance record. This is certainly understandable.
However, there comes a time when employees must be granted their
due regardless of strong arguments to delay it. I think that time has
come for Mrs. Vincent and the division should sponsor her recommen-
dation in the strongest terms possible.
