Statement for the Record by
James R. Clapper, Jr.
Nominee for the Position of
Director of National Intelligence
Before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
United States Senate
20 July 2010
Madam Chairman, Vice Chairman Bond, and distinguished Members of the Committee, it is a privilege to appear before you today as the President's nominee for Director of National Intelligence. I am truly honored that the President has confidence in my ability to lead our Intelligence Community. My deepest appreciation goes out to him for the nomination, and my sincere thanks to all of you, the overseers of our nation's intelligence services, for the opportunity to address you and answer your questions here today.
When President Obama asked me to lead this organization he said he wanted someone who could build the Intelligence Community into an integrated team that produces quality, timely, and accurate intelligence; be his principal intelligence advisor; be the leader of our Intelligence Community; and be someone who would tell policymakers what they needed to know, even if it wasn't what they wanted to hear. Lastly, he needed someone who knew how to get things done in a bipartisan, professional manner.
