Deutch Becomes CIA Director
BROADCAST EXCERPT
CONNIE CHUNG: Faced with charges that the CIA is obsolete and
out of control, the new boss is cleaning house. Just days after
taking over, Director John Deutch replaced the spy agency's entire
top management today.
National security correspondent David Martin, reports.
DAVID MARTIN: The CIA had been warned change was coming and
today the new Director of Central Intelligence, John Deutch
announced a major shake-up in the senior ranks. Across and down
the organization chart, Deutch is replacing CIA veterans and, in
most cases, bringing in outsiders to run an agency suffering
through a mid-life crisis.
DAVID WHIPPLE [Former CIA Agent]: It's something of a
bombshell with an awful lot of insiders from the Democratic Party
coming in from the outside into CIA in very sensitive and
significant positions.
MARTIN: Other directors have tried and failed to change the
culture at the CIA, but none has begun by making such sudden and
sweeping changes at the top. Nothing like this has happened in the
45 year history of the CIA.
Nora Slatkin, just turned 40, is now the Executive Director of
the CIA, the number three job.
NORA SLATKIN [CIA Executive Director]: Essentially I'll be
the Chief Operating Officer of the CIA. As Director Deutch said
this morning when he introduced the new team to the top 80 managers
at the CIA, he said the glass ceiling has now been broken.
MARTIN: In the past, women like Lynn Larkin have left the CIA

in frustration after trying to crack the macho world of espionage.
LYNN LARKIN (Former CIA Agent]: I think it's the general
attitude that this is a tough world and if you don't carry guns and
have a swagger, you're probably not going to get anywhere in the
business. And I think they resented women.
MARTIN: The Aldrich Ames cases discredited the CIA's old-boy
network, but changing the culture, which allowed Ames to go
undetected for so long, will require nothing short of a revolution.
LARKIN: It's very difficult to do those things without
raising a lot of hackles or creating waves, especially when the
system has been in place for so long.
MARTIN: As Deutch himself acknowledged, changing the faces at
the top of the CIA is the easy part of the job. Changing the
culture which has kept women down and allowed a spy like Ames to
prosper, is likely to be a long and painful process.
David Martin, CBS News, at the CIA.
