STATEMENT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL JOHN ASHCROFT ON THE RETIREMENT OF CIA DIRECTOR GEORGE TENET:
“The Central Intelligence Agency has worked closely with the Department of Justice in our ongoing efforts to detect and prevent terrorism. The CIA has been well served by George Tenet's leadership and dedication. As the walls between law enforcement and intelligence officials have been torn down, George has been a steady ally in our combined efforts to share the information that will keep America safe. As George leaves the CIA, I wish him well in his future endeavors.”
