JANE ROBELOT (ANCHOR): The new Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency has already begun making major changes. And he
started by replacing many of his senior managers. Correspondent
David Martin has more from CIA headquarters.
DAVID MARTIN (REPORTER): In just his second week on the job,
the new Director of Central Intelligence, John Deutsch, announced
a major shake-up in the senior ranks of the CIA. Across and down
the organization chart, Deutsch is replacing CIA veterans and in
most cases bringing in outsiders to run an agency suffering through
a mid-life crisis.
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.
DAVID WHIPPLE (FORMER CIA AGENT): This is 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: Deutsch said he was breaking the CIA's glass ceiling
by naming Nora Slatkin to the Number 3 job of executive director.
NORA SLATKIN (CIA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR): It involves running
the day-to-day management of the agency. Essentially, I'll be the
chief operating officer of the CIA.
MARTIN: In the past, women like Lynn Larkin have left the CIA

carry guns and have that swagger, you're probably not gonna get
anywhere in the business. And I think they resented women.
MARTIN: The Aldrich Ames' case 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.
As Deutsch himself acknowledged, changing the faces at the top
of the CIA is the easy part of the job. Changing a 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.
