Mr. Noel has ably administered a large Station and has displayed maturity, good judgment and tact in the day-to-day management and direction of Station activities and personnel. This has been achieved despite the physical location of Station staff personnel in a number of separated office sites.

Under the direction of Mr. Noel a far reaching and fruitful major operational program against the high priority Cuban target has been undertaken and Madrid Station today is making a substantial contribution in good operations and good intelligence information to the overall Agency effort. Another notable accomplishment directly attributable to Mr. Noel, and as partial reflection of his many years' experience in Latin America, has been his professional handling personally of the Station operation involving Juan Peron. Interested US components have stated categorically that Madrid Station coverage of Juan Peron and his activities is essential in satisfying existing intelligence requirements on Peron.

Despite the Station's heavy diversions into Cuban and Latin American activities and State Department policy restrictions on internal political activities, Mr. Noel has encouraged the development of a long-range program involving activities against the Spanish Communist Party and clandestine contact with the Spanish political opposition.
