                     confirmation of david buckley

  Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, I am in support of the nomination of 
Mr. David Buckley to be the next inspector general of the Central 
Intelligence Agency, CIA.
  On Tuesday, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence voted 
unanimously to recommend Mr. Buckley's nomination. So there is 
overwhelming, bipartisan support for Mr. Buckley.
  It is also important that the Senate act on this nomination before 
the upcoming recess. The position of the CIA inspector general has 
remained vacant since the retirement of John Helgerson in March 2009.
  The Senate Intelligence Committee has seen firsthand the importance 
of the CIA inspector general. Many of the reports and audits from this 
office remain classified, but have had a major impact on our 
committee's understanding of CIA programs and at times have led 
directly to major changes in those programs.
  Other reports have been made public, like the 2004 Special Review 
into the CIA detention and interrogation program. The report raised 
major questions about the program's legality and compliance and allowed 
the public to see some of what went wrong with the CIA program.
  The inspector general of the CIA plays a crucial role. The CIA is an 
agency that is charged with operating in secret in locations around the 
world, conducting covert actions and collecting intelligence. It 
shields its activities from the public, but it needs oversight. The 
IG's Office has been conducting independent reviews of Agency offices 
and programs, recommended measures of accountability where 
appropriated, and performed detailed audits of CIA expenditures and 
financial statements.
  In April 2010, Vice Chairman Bond and I wrote a letter to President 
Obama, pointing out the importance of the CIA IG position and the need 
to nominate and confirm a strong, independent auditor and investigator.
  I am pleased that he nominated Mr. Buckley. His confirmation hearing 
was held on September 21, where Senators reviewed his record, his views 
on the position to which he has been nominated, and his plans if 
confirmed. Mr. Buckley was straightforward with our committee and very 
clear about his belief in a strong and independent IG.
  Mr. Buckley has had more than 30 years of experience in government 
service that should provide him with an excellent background for the 
challenges he will face when confirmed.
  Mr. Buckley enlisted with the Air Force in 1976, specializing in 
investigations. He continued service with the Air Force Office of 
Special Investigations as a civilian in 1984, working for 3 years 
before moving to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations 
under then Chairman Sam Nunn.
  Senator Nunn offered the following endorsement for Mr. Buckley when 
he wrote to the committee recently:

       I found David to be a consummate professional of the 
     highest integrity, and he enjoyed a great reputation on both 
     sides of the aisle. He has excellent judgment and an 
     abundance of common sense.

  Following 8 years on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on 
Investigations, including time as chief investigator, Mr. Buckley 
worked as a special assistant to the inspector general of the 
Department of Defense, at the General Accounting Office, and at the 
Treasury Department for 7 years, most of it as assistant inspector 
general for investigations.
  Mr. Buckley then served from 2005 to 2007 as the minority staff 
director of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. As 
such he had a purview of the entire intelligence community, including 
the CIA, and developed an understanding from the congressional point of 
view of the important relationships the intelligence committees have 
with the CIA inspector general.
  Finally, Mr. Buckley has worked as a senior manager at Deloitte 
Consulting since 2007, consulting in the national security arena. In 
short, David Buckley has spent 34 years in a career focused on 
conducting oversight, much of it in the defense and intelligence areas.
  I believe his background makes him an excellent candidate and I look 
forward to working with Mr. Buckley in his new position.
