1. have worked
for the past year on a study conducted on behalf of the Director of
Central Intelligence. Because of the security clearances involved,
neither F_ I were at all familiar with the
substances of the study. Both quickly grasped the technical details
involved and their performances were truly outstanding. (U)
2. Q served as his company's project manager and
directly supervised the other members of the contracting staff. His
skill in working from a general statement of a problem, in analyzing
the available data, and in synthesizing the results of that analysis
enabled the team to move quickly and efficiently through its many
sub-tasks. His ability to raise penetrating questions, to formulate
ccmplex alternatives, and to identify weaknesses in proposed
methodologies were especially helpful. His written work and oral
briefings gave concise expression to logical sequences of ideas and
added significantly to the clarity of the study team's presentation.
His critiques of other team members' work were insightful and always
constructive. He planned his company's contribution to the team's
efforts efficiently, frequently caning up with innovated approaches
to various aspects of the problem. I came to respect and rely upon
his judgment. Our task would have been immeasurably more difficult
without him. (U)

3. was asked to develop a methodology for
evaluating a number of alternatives considered by the team. Not in
twenty years in the computer business have I met a more highly
skilled programmer, but talents go far beyond this.
His analytical precision in defining each step, in constructing
options, and in estimating the costs, benefits, and negative
implications of the alternatives resulted in a high level of
confidence being placed in the work of the team. His success in
developing a cost model as part of the eval uation methodology
resulted in untold savings in dollars and man-months of effort. He
designed and wrote an executive summary of the team's report that
received praise from senior level executives for its ability to
convey a vast amount of complicated information in a concise, easily
understood manner. lability to work independently,
analyze complex problems, and propose a variety of possible solutions
made him a uniquely valuable member of the team. (U)

Indeed, their performance and that of their company could well be
used as a model of effective contractor/government relations. (U) STATINTL
