The Agency at 60:

Former DCI & CIA Director R. James Woolsey Reflects — Tuesday, September 25, 6:30 pm

Former U.S. Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) R. James Woolsey headed the CIA at a time of great change and challenge.  The Cold War was ending and the Agency was suffering from the recent revelation that intelligence officer Aldrich Ames was a Soviet mole. Serving as both the DCI and the CIA director, Woolsey was appointed by President Clinton to help restructure the intelligence service.  During this candid conversation, the former DCI will share what it was like to head the CIA during that tumultuous time. He will draw on his tenure at the CIA and his distinguished government career to comment on the Agency as it turns 60.  Woolsey will also share some of his thoughts about the future of the CIA in this intimate event.
