                     1.  Mr. David S. Morales is hereby  recommended for the Intelligence
                Medal of Merit for his twenty-five years of dedicated  service with the
                Central Intelligence Agency.

                     2.  Prior to his entrance on duty with  the Central Intelligence
                Agency in March 1951, Mr. Morales served from April 1946  to March 1951
                in the United States Army.

                     3.  Mr. Morales spent more than twenty years in  the field in several
                different installations in the areas of Europe, Latin America and East
                Asia.  He held senior level positions engaged in FI, CI, CA and PM  opera-
                tions.  His record includes such items as participation in key roles  in
                both of Latin  aeri           '   wo major PM/political action operations
                plus tours as                      Laos (supervised 45 employees); and,
                Regional Officer in   arge,            Vietnam  (supervised 60 employees).
                These assignments were carried out in war zones requiring considerable
                personal courage.

                     4.  Mr. Morales was commended twice by Chiefs of Station while
                assigned to the Cuban operrtion; by the Director of Central Intelligence
                for service in the fominican Republic during the crisis; by the King of
                Laos during his assignment in Laos and by the Government of Vietnam for
                his service in that country.

                     5.  Upon his return from Vietnam in 1971 Mr. Morales was assigned to
                FR Division, CJashington Base, where he was targeted on Latin American .
                military officers assigned to the Inter-American Defense Board and attending
                the Inter-American Defense CollegeJ  This assignment was initiated by Latin
                America Division in an effort to geg at the rich operational potential
                afforded by the presence in the Washington area of numerous Latin American
                officials.  Mr. Morales, with his long years of experience in Latin America,
                and his native fluency in Spanish, proved. ideal for this assignment. He
                developed numerous assets who were later pursued successfully and recruited
                in the field and he made several significant recruitments of his own.

                     6.  Following the FR assignment Mr. Morales returned to the Latin
                America Division where he comp Jetgd his final year with CIA. He served TDY
                as Acting Chief of Station, Parag ayfor  some months.  During this    iod
                there was more activity and accomplishment flowing  out of the LAsuncion)
                Station than had been seen in years.  This is typical of Mr. Morales'
                resourcefulness, imagination and push to get the job done.  The remainder
                of his Agency time was spent on a TDY to PariLma~and in the Cuban Operations
                Group, where his contribution was also very large.
