SUGGESTED SPEECH TO BE USED IN MAKING THE AWARD
With these awards the National Civil Service League recognizes quality
in public service. The career of Mr. John F. Blake typifies the true meaning,
of this concept. He has served the United States Government for thirty-five
years with distinction and substantive achievement. Through his knowledge,
experience, personal dedication, and clearly demonstrated managerial ability,
Mr. Blake has made significant and invaluable contributions to our mission.
and has become the shining example for all who aspire to leadership roles in
the Central Intelligence Agency and indeed throughout the Intelligence
Community.
In nominating Mr. Blake for this award I described. him as "the glue
which held the Agency together." These words were specifically intended. to
describe the unique contribution made by Mr. Blake during the seven months he
served as Acting Deputy Director of Central Intelligence. This period, from
July 1977 to February 1978, was critical in the life of the Agency. Decisions
of far reaching and critical importance to the very fibre of the intelligence
profession were required. During these seven months, Mr. Blake provided a.
steadying hand on the Agency and the entire intelligence profession. His
infectious enthusiasm, vitality and personal integrity were instrumental, in
keeping CIA on track and producing intelligence up to its fullest capabilities.
The selection of Mr. Blake for this award highlights the true value and
exceptional contributions he has made to the public service and. I ant very
pleased to have the opportunity to make this presentation.
