Honorable Richard Helms
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C..20505
You will be pleased to know that a career employee of your staff
has just been selected by the National Civil Service League to
receive its 1969 Career Service Award. He is Col. L. K. White.
Should you wish the pleasure of informing him personally, we will
wait a few days before notifying him of this honor.
A June 13 banquet and dance, preceded by a reception at 6:30, at
the Washington Hilton Hotel, will be the scene of the award ceremony.
Traditionally, top government officers take part in the banquet pro-
gram by introducing their Awardees to receive the award from a League
officer. Therefore, I cordially invite you to join us in "black tie"
at the reception, and as a head table banquet guest.
Our goals are to honor the Awardee for outstanding performance,
increase citizen awareness of quality in government and encourage
the ablest to build government careers. The achievement of such goals
-- so important to better government -- depends considerably on the
interest and attention you can give to the project. That is why we
respectfully request your help in making the event strongly supported,
broadly attended and widely publicized.
Will. you personally urge your employees to join us on June 13? And --
as is done each year -- will you designate ranking members of your
information and personnel staffs to give their best efforts to work
with us on publicity, attendance and other arrangements? Please
ask your designees to call NCSL Executive Director Jean Couturier at
659-2442. He will invite them to a planning meeting scheduled for
April 28.
Please accept our congratulations on this honor to your agency. We
look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Mortimer M. Caplin
