Statement on Senate Confirmation of Porter Goss
I am very pleased that a strong bipartisan majority in the U.S.
Senate today voted to confirm Porter Goss as the next Director of
Central Intelligence. Porter Goss is a leader with strong experience
in intelligence and in the fight against terrorism. He is the right
man to take on the essential mission of leading the CIA at this
critical moment in our Nation's history as we face the challenges and
the dangerous threats of this century. I look forward to his counsel
as we implement intelligence reform, including the recommendations of
the 9-11 Commission.
