Mr. Robert M. Gates
Acting Director of Central Intelligence
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C. 20505
As you know, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
has an important duty to consider your nomination as Director of
Central Intelligence in a comprehensive manner. Indeed, it is
our hope and belief that a thorough confirmation process will
contribute to an open and positive relationship between the
Congress and the Agency in the future.
At the same time, the Committee has an obligation to review
your role in matters that are currently under investigation by
two special Congressional committees, an independent counsel,
and a Presidential panel. Clearly, a complete record in this
regard not only will assist the Committee in considering your
nomination as Director but also will assist you in moving
forward in the event that you are confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
To help accomplish these goals, we are submitting herewith
a supplement to the questionnaire that is normally completed by
nominees considered by this Committee and which you have already
answered. These additional questions are intended to provide a
comprehensive record with respect to topics of special concern
that are presented by these unique circumstances. We request
that your sworn responses to these supplemental questions be
provided to the Committee as soon as possible in order that they
may be availyable prior to the date of your confirmation hearing.
Of course, if portions of the responses are classified, such
responses should be submitted separately.
Thank you for your cooperation.
