NARRATIVE COMMENTS
Mr. Noel is an old hand at running bases or stations abroad and his performance as Chief of Base, San Francisco, amply attests that. I go on without saying that he understands all aspects of the business, knows how to delegate, organize, direct and report. He has continued to do all these things well. His seniority, experience and maturity served the Agency in particularly good stead during this period when the location of his base was compromised in the public press, through no fault of Mr. Noel. His subsequent and consequent actions were all taken with sound judgment and appropriate calm and circumspection. He was also most receptive to, and cooperative in, Headquarters suggestions in this matter. He is, of course, cost conscious and an excellent supervisor. His overall performance is that of a high order of senior Agency officers.
