| Summary/Abstract |
I served one year (2005) of my 35-year career in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as the CIA’s director of congressional affairs. In addition, I served as a directorate of operations officer in a number of overseas posts visited by congressional members and staff. As a generalization, my experience was that almost all members of Congress and their staffs were serious regarding their obligations and responsibilities. On well over hundreds of occasions, I experienced at most two times when a member of Congress was negligent in carrying out his duties when overseas.
