Might I ask a followup question, because the Senator referenced these earlier reports going all the way back from 50 years ago. I fully support the concept of a national intelligence director. My concern is how we are implementing it. Did the earlier reports, including the most recent from the Intelligence Committees, from the 9/ 11 Commission, contemplate with the creation of a national intelligence director we would still have a Central Intelligence Agency?
