In 1965 she was selected to be the CIA representative on the interagency Critical Collection Problems Committee (CCPC) of the United States Intelligence Board (USIB).

She has a unique understanding of CIA and its missions as well as of the U.S. intelligence community at large. Her broad gauge approach to intelligence community problems combined with her managerial and executive capabilities have contributed greatly to national intelligence objectives of priority importance. In her work with the USIB Critical Collection Problems Committee, working closely with senior civilian and military intelligence agency representatives (ranging from GS-15 to Rear Admirals and Major TL Generals), has excelled in an ability to resolve diverse STATI and often nearly intransigent opinions. She has been a prime force in melding contributions from the entire intelligence community and developing them into integrated, well written, and constructive studies on priority matters of national interest, frequently in the field of national defense. /Continued/ (7) HIGHLIGHTS OF WORK EXPERIENCE (WITH DATES): 02/05 01 : CIA-.q - Approved F Rel~se 0049RA QQ05 0M $r TINTL f0 lilt iss ~e ar e or the Bri rie After workin 0 and highly acclaimed study of the anti-ship missile threat which focused national attention and provided the supportive documentation /Continued/ HONORS RE EIVED FROM THIS AGENCY AND OTHER SOURCES): Because of Security restrictions it is not possible to describe TLexplicitly many of the honors given I However, the following is a general description of these honors: Commendation 1952 from CIA Deputy for Staff Training for effective support rendered to Staff Indoctrination Course. /Continued/ SlGtl^_D: (HEAD OF DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY) L George Bush George Bush Director of Central Intelligence Approved For Fk6~eT 2 /d~'A?9t: `(~ 7)9E864 000500030012-0 Approved For Release 2002/05/01 : CIA-RDP79-00498A000500030012-0 (7) Highlights of Work Experience (continued) 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. (8) Honors Received (continued) Commendation 1954 from a Staff chief within the Agency for valuable contributions made by members of staff in the STATINTL analysis of intelligence materials.

Letter of Appreciation 1972 from Commander, Naval Intelligence Command for the outstanding and highly professional support rendered to the U.S. Navy byl Endorsed by th(6TATINTL Director of Central Intelligence. (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. Approved For Release 2002/05/01 : CIA-RDP79-00498A000500030012-0 hi i t 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. _-TA INTL 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. ?

She has earned an unusual degree of esteem from all her colleagues in her various assignments, and they have themselves been stimulated by her example of dedication, initiative, imagination, and unfailing cheerfulness. Her performance in her present assignment is a natural culmination of the personal and. professional qualities that she has brought to and developed in an intelligence career.

Her career '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 task of major scope, since East Asia is the Directorate's largest geo- graphical division in terms of personnel and has had responsibility in NTL ro 's overall r th A e f ti l f i ddi g p ncy e g o unc on to norma ons, t a STATITLplus, during tenure, sustained crisis situations in STATI Tivietnam and lI involving major investments of personnel and funds.

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 budgeting and management by objectives to the operational requirements of her Division. Her success in this not only accomplished the immediate purpose, but also led to emulation of her techniques in. other Divisions and in the Agency's Operations Directorate generally. /continued/ HONORS R E VED (FROM THIS AGENCY AND OTHER SOURCES): CIA Achievement Award for $2,000 in 1973 (shared with. another employee) for advanced country-based programming concept.

C. 20415 As Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Federal Woman's Award, I am 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 year by the President and by heads of organizations has played in important 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 the Federal Woman's Award, care of the U.S. Civil Service Commission, 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. Cordially, yne B.

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. EDWARD W.
