that time. [REDACTED] himself was a career military man serving in b6 Per BOC the Marines up until November of 1970 and he returned to this area on b7C Per BOC occasionally. Since November of 1970, he has lived with his parents and has been trying to find employment, however, because of the general economic conditions and lack of work in the area, he has not obtained a permanent job or has not done any temporary work to my knowledge.

[REDACTED] impresses me as being a person who is sincerely interested in oth b6 Per BOC people. I am an older woman and [REDACTED] because he was not working, help 7C Per BOC me put up my Christmas lights on the outside of the house. He has also offered to help me do other things if I needed him and he seems to be very willing to be of assistance. He seems to be a rather easy-going person who is mature and emotionally stable. I have never seen him use any alcoholic beverages. He does not seem to be the type of individual who would need any personality supplements in the way of drugs, narcotics, or LSD. I believe that he would be decisive in a critical or stress situation and be able to handle any emergency that arose. I think his judgment is sound and he is mature enough to make logical independent conclusions to any problem that arose. However, I have had no close association with him because of his extended military service and up until November of 1970, had only seen him casually. As I understand it, he has progressed in responsible positions in the military but any know- ledge I have of this is by secondhand information and would only be hearsay.

My general impression of [REDACTED] is that he would deal effectively b6 Per BOC with people on all levels. He has had military service so I am sure b7C Per BOC he would be able to use regulations connected with any job he was assigned to, be able to follow instructions and to interpret them correctly. When I have talked to him out in the yard and when he has come over to my house to offer his help, he has always presented his viewpoints clearly and concisely.

It is my understanding that he has applied for a sensitive position with the Government. I feel that knowing specific examples of his experience, resourcefulness, good judgment, and ability to use tact and discretion in whatever his job was in could not be known by me because of my limited knowledge about him. However, generally he impresses me as being a very fine person, quite levelheaded and somewhat of a fine American citizen because of his military background. On this basis only would I recommend him for a position within our Federal Government in a very sensitive and critical area.
