NARRATIVE COMMENTS
Mr. Noel is much too experienced and practiced a hand for his performance to vary very much from year to year. He has continued to turn in the highly creditable performance in San Francisco that has been standard for him for many years. He has managed his subordinates well and has exercised uniformly good judgment in directing their operational efforts. Of particular value has been his steadiness in the face of administrative adversity disrupting the organization of his Base. Mr. Noel insured that the work of the Base continued uninterrupted and demonstrated his capacity to keep on top of all details and report them to Headquarters as appropriate. It is a credit to Mr. Noel that in the post-Ramparts exposure period there was not a single instance of a sensitive source withdrawing from a relationship with the Base.
The performance of his officers attests to careful guidance and wise leadership which has enabled them to operate securely and well in sensitive areas. His relations with the FBI and DCS are excellent. He is appropriately economy minded. In short, he is a decidedly strong supervisor.
