My dear Dr. Alien:

We are considering the person mentioned above for a position
in connection with our program of Services to the Armed Forces. This
assignment may take the applicant outside the continental United States. |

The enclosed statement describes the qualifications required
and the responsibilities involved in the assignment. Because of the
varied nature of the work to be undertaken we are seeking persons who
possess qualities of flexibility, leadership, sound judgment, and the
ability to establish and maintain harmonious relationships. Since the
duties of the position involve close contact with the military personnel
there must be no question of the applicant's loyalty to the United States.

For your guidance in replying, it is suggested that the follow-
ing be among the points covered: ability, integrity, loyalty, habits,
personableness. Do you consider applicant qualified for the position?

If so, why? What are the applicant's outstanding qualifications? State
your relationship to applicant. If employer, what position did the
applicant hold? Was work record satisfactory? Would you re-employ?

We cannot make a final decision until we have heard from all
references, and for this reason we should like to have your confidential
reply at your earliest convenience.

Very truly yours,

Roan dy gee
Charles G. McCallister
