NARRATIVE COMMENTS
(Attach additional sheets if necessary, but do not use this form for rating officers' efficiency.)

Chief, CAS is one of the ablest members of my Country Team. He has a profound knowledge and understanding of the complex Spanish political scene, and scores of valuable contacts. I have a healthy respect for his judgment, and frequently seek his advice and counsel.

He manages his staff effectively and enjoys their respect and confidence. Popular and well liked by his colleagues in the Embassy and the Spanish Government, Chief, CAS is an excellent representative of our Government.

Chief, CAS is prudent and discreet, and I have complete confidence in him. He is a man of few words but when he expresses himself, he does so in a meaningful way.

A gifted analyst with an incredibly deep grasp of the complicated Spanish mentality, Chief, CAS' assessment and opinions are highly valued by me and the members of my Country Team.

Chief, CAS and his associates have been most cooperative at all times, and have provided me with excellent support. I regard their operation superior in every respect which is a compliment to Chief, CAS' skilled leadership and direction.

Chief, CAS' wife is an attractive American lady who is an asset to her husband. She takes an active part in community affairs.
