Dear General Walters,
I have just learned of your
departure from the Agency and your impending re-
tirement from the Army in June. I know how the Agency
will miss your strength and extraordinary capabilities.
Far more important than this however, it's employees
will miss the warm personal qualities and depth of
human understanding that you brought to their lives.
As for me, I know of no one in
my thirty-two years of Government service for whom
I have greater professional respect and personal
admiration. Your personal counsel and support have
meant more than you will ever know to Elizabeth
and to me.Your friendship has made the trials and
tribulations of the past two years much easier to
handle. Thank you for all you have done for us.
As you leave Government after
so many years of dedicated service, your reputation
.for total honesty and integrity will serve as an
inspiration to us all, retirees and current employees.
Elizabeth joins me in wishing you all possible
success and happiness in your well earned retirement.
You most certainly know that you can call` on us at
anytime and in any way if there is ever~way in which
we can be of assistance.
Warmly,
Approved For Release 2006/08/09: CIA-RDP80RO1731 8001900060046-0
