Seller's Description:
Good. No dust jacket as issued. Covers have some wear and soiling. Some minor creasing. 3 volume set. S. Hrg. 102-7899 (3 volumes). Volume 1, 0-16-039540-2 (iv, 961 p. ); Volume 2, 0-16-039541-0 (v, [1], 740 p.0; Volume 3, 0-16-039542-9 (iii, [1], 317 p.). The Director of Central Intelligence commands vast capabilities to collect and analyze information far beyond those imagined by the earlier DCIs. On the basis of the information the DCI provides, policy decisions are made, diplomatic initiatives are mounted, military operations are planned and carried out, and research and development efforts are targeted. The DCI's job is unique interms of ranges of sensitive activities that the CIA is asked to carry out. The Committee felt that it must also examine the process by which intelligence analysis was developed for policymakers and felt that the DCI that they confirmed would need to preside over the first sweeping redesign of American intelligence since the National Security Act was passed in 1947. This three volume record of the hearings are increasingly scare and provide insight into Mr. Gates before he rose to the position of Secretary of Defense, which he held over two administrations for Presidents of different parties.
