DNI Coats Statement on Agency Veteran Vaughn F. Bishop Selected to Serve as Deputy Director of CIA

The President's decision to tap CIA veteran Vaughn F. Bishop to serve as the next Deputy Director is an outstanding selection.

Vaughn's numerous career accomplishments as an intelligence officer are well-known within ODNI, CIA and the USIC and it is a pleasure to welcome him back into government service after his retirement in 2011.

We look forward to working with him and benefiting from his knowledge, experience and contributions as a senior leader within the CIA and the wider community.

Daniel R. Coats, Director of National Intelligence
