Clapper May be Back in Washington
The Washington Post reports Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates picked Lt. Gen. James R. Clapper Jr. (ret.) to be undersecretary of defense for intelligence. Clapper was head of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) until he retired last June.
The post explains the job this way:
While the director of national intelligence is the president’s top intelligence advisor, the defense undersecretary coordinates the largest components of the intelligence community and almost 80 percent of the roughly $42 billion national intelligence budget.
The last we heard about Clapper he’d joined GeoEye’s Board of Directors (Nov 06) and taken a job at DFI Government Services. (Oct 06)
