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.
