CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20505 9 February 1974 Mr. Mortimer M. Caplin, President National Civil Service League 1825 K Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. 20006 I am extremely pleased to nominate Mr. Carl E: Duckett for the National Civil Service League's Career Service Award. (b)(3) As CIA's Deputy Director for Science and Tech- nology, he is responsible for all phases of the Agency's collection, processing, and analysis in an intelligence program directed against the nation's top priority national intelligence objective -- the capability of major foreign powers to strike the United States with modern, sophisticated weaponry. Since he was nominated by Mr. Helms last year, Mr. Duckett has been assigned increasing management responsibilities within the Agency and the U. S. In- telligence Community. He has not rested on his sub- stantial achievements in the technical area of intelli- gence; he continues to grow in the key arena where national security demands that intelligence be man- aged to maintain a keen focus on, the most critical targets. Mr. Duckett has served his country for more than 30 years with unswerving devotion and integrity. He has a brilliant record of substantive achievement and manages with outstanding ability. All this he has ac- complished with only a North Carolina high school formal education. I nominate Carl E. Duckett with full personal conviction that he is worthy of your consideration as measured against the high standards of previous National Civil Service League award winners.
