The Honorable Henry J. Hyde
Vice Chairman
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
House of Representatives
Washington, D. C. 20515
Dear Mr. Vice Chairman:
A number of important personnel changes are taking place
and I wanted you to be aware of them, although no public
announcement is currently planned.
First, perhaps of greatest interest, I have appointed
David Gries as Vice Chairman of the National Intelligence
Council. To replace him as Director, Office of Congressional
Affairs, I have designated John Helgerson, currently Associate
Deputy Director for Intelligence. I believe that John
possesses not only the experience required to be fully
responsive to the needs of the Congress, but also possesses the
qualities of integrity, care and candor which are indispensable
to this relationship. I have asked Dave Gries to arrange for
John to meet with you before he assumes his responsibilities.
William F. Donnelly, currently Deputy Director for
Administration, will become Inspector General in the enhanced
position I have previously described to you. He will report
directly to me and will hold the rank of Deputy Director.
I have previously informed you of the appointment of
Richard F. Stolz to be Deputy Director for Operations. Dick
likewise wishes to call on you whenever you can conveniently
see him.
I have designated Russell J. Bruemmer to be General
Counsel succeeding David Doherty, who is resigning to take a
senior position with the New York Stock Exchange. Russ has
served as a law clerk to me on the United States Court of
Appeals, as my Special Assistant for three years in the FBI,
and has recently completed an admirable job as my Special
Counsel in connection with the Iran-Contra affair. Previous to
that assignment, he was a partner in the Washington law firm of
Wilmer, Cutler and Pickering.

I am designating R. M. "Rae" Huffstutler, currently
Director of the National Photographic Interpretation Center
(NPIC), to be Deputy Director for Administration. Rae's
outstanding performance at NPIC uniquely qualifies him for this
new responsibility.
These are my personal choices following a careful review
process with senior management participation. I believe that
these moves will shortly demonstrate the immense vitality
within the leadership of this Agency.
With best wishes,
Sincerely,
William H. Webster
Director of Central Intelligence
