27 April 1970

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Retirement Affairs Division

SUBJECT: Mr. James A. Noel

REFERENCE: Dispatch - USF7-1954, 19 March 1970

1. Attached is a copy of a dispatch from subject, now a senior staffer, in which he poses certain questions with respect to his retirement status based on former service with the Department of State. We forwarded his dispatch to Central Cover Staff for action with the Department of State. We were informed that there is no record of subject's service in Mexico either with the Civil Service or the Department of State, since records have been destroyed.

2. Since subject's retirement plans are directly involved with the service claimed, it would be appreciated if his records could be checked. Perhaps the Records Center could be checked.

Virginia C. Lynch
Chief, DO Personnel & Training
