SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

February 1947 - March 1947. In February 1947 I entered on duty with what was known as the Central Intelligence Group, 2430 E Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., a government body created by Executive Order which was a predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency. I was a legal liaison officer with this group.

March 1947 - December 1949. During this period I was detailed to the U.S. Department of State, 20th Street and Virginia Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., where I was assigned to the U.S. Embassy, Caracas, Venezuela, as Attaché. In that capacity I prepared reports and advised and counseled the U.S. Ambassador on matters of a legal and political nature. In this work I employed legal knowledge, background and experience as related to the laws of the United States and the Republic of Venezuela.

January 1950 to December 1951 - Central Intelligence Agency, 2430 E Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. In this period I was assigned to duties involving liaison on legal matters with other departments of the U.S. Government including the Department of Defense, Department of Justice (Immigration and Naturalization Service and Federal Bureau of Investigation) and the Department of State. Criteria for the position included knowledge, application and interpretation of U.S. and foreign laws. The establishment of the position was at the instance of the General Counsel of the Agency and my selection to the position was with his concurrence. This assignment required close working coordination and collaboration with the General Counsel of the Agency and other governmental legal counsel. I discontinued this particular work to enable me to again undertake further assignment with the Department of State as a member of the Foreign Service Staff Corps.

December 1951 - April 1954 - U.S. Department of State, Foreign Service Staff, Washington, D.C. During this period I served as Attaché, Political Officer, American Embassy, Guatemala City, Guatemala. In that capacity I gathered information concerning the legal system, laws, and enforcement thereof and counseled and advised the U.S. Ambassador on matters of a legal and political nature. In this work I employed legal knowledge and experience as related to the laws of the United States and the Republic of Guatemala. I resigned from this position in Guatemala to return to the U.S. for personal and family reasons.
