Gina Haspel of CIA on "the renewed emphasis on raising our investment against the most strategic intelligence gaps"

Image result for CIA Haspel on strategic intelligence gaps


So it should come as no surprise that one of my top priorities since becoming Director has been to champion diversity and inclusion at CIA. Our global mission at CIA demands that we recruit and retain America’s best and brightest, regardless of gender, race, or cultural background. And I want every officer to have equal opportunities to succeed.

Another strategic priority is to invest more heavily in collecting against the hardest issues. Our efforts against these difficult intelligence gaps have been overshadowed over the years by the Intelligence Community’s justifiably heavy emphasis on counterterrorism in the wake of 9/11. Groups such as the so-called Islamic State and al-Qa‘ida remain squarely in our sights, but we are sharpening our focus on nation-state adversaries.

Closely related to the renewed emphasis on raising our investment against the most strategic intelligence gaps is our push to steadily increase the number of officers stationed overseas. 

That’s where our mission—as a foreign intelligence agency—lies, and having a larger foreign footprint allows for a more robust posture.

We’re also investing in foreign-language excellence as a core attribute for our officers. We’re strengthening our language training to ensure that our people are more capable and better attuned to the cultures in which they operate.
By the way, I recall very fondly first-class French literature classes at University of Louisville.
And we’re building stronger partnerships at CIA—not only with our sister agencies across the IC, but with our foreign counterparts as well. Teamwork is the only effective way of dealing with the range of complex threats we face across the globe, and CIA is working more closely than ever with our allies across the world."

Remarks for Central Intelligence Agency Director Gina Haspel - McConnell Center at the University of Louisville

24 September 2018

It’s a rare pleasure to be back home in Kentucky, and truly a privilege to be back on this campus. I want to thank Senator McConnell and President Bendapudi for the gracious invitation, and I want to thank all of you for being here today and for taking an interest in our nation’s security and in the role CIA plays in protecting our country.
In the interest of full disclosure, and as Senator McConnell mentioned, I should tell you that my college years weren’t spent entirely in Louisville. Like Senator McConnell, I spent some of my time in college at a well-known university over in central Kentucky. But after finishing my junior year, the bright lights of this beautiful city beckoned, and I finished my degree as a Cardinal. Proudly so.
Because I am a proud Kentuckian and a proud U of L graduate, it is very special for me to be with you all today. I look forward to speaking with Scott Jennings a little later. Before I do, I’d like to offer some brief remarks about the remarkable organization I am honored to lead: the Central Intelligence Agency.
Over the summer, we hosted a special guest at Langley. Daniel Craig was kind enough to visit CIA Headquarters to talk about playing James Bond and how it compares to the real world of espionage.
And yes—he parked his red Aston Martin right in front of our main lobby. Which raises a couple of big contrasts between real-world espionage and the Hollywood version.
First, if you’re an undercover officer endeavoring not to be noticed, a red Aston Martin probably is not the best way to go. I’d go with a beige Hyundai.
Second, the average CIA officer can only dream of parking right in front of the main lobby. I can’t even do that!
But whatever the real CIA lacks in Hollywood glamour, it more than makes up for it in job satisfaction. Service at CIA is the opportunity to be part of something bigger than yourself—to serve your country in a meaningful and compelling way. As one of my favorite former Directors, George Tenet, used to say, CIA doesn’t do easy. The hard jobs come to us. CIA officers take on the toughest assignments—at some risk—for the sake of our nation.
From my first days in the nation’s Clandestine Service and my first overseas assignment in Africa, the meaning of our work was clear to me. My training prepared me well for a moonless night in a remote and desolate place, when I conducted my first meeting with a foreign agent.
He passed me intelligence of great value to our government, and I passed him a little extra money for the men he led. It was the beginning of an adventure I could only have dreamed of as a kid. Now that I think about it, that night was the stuff of movies.
It’s fair to say that CIA back then in the late 80s and 90s was a thoroughly male-dominated organization. But I was lucky to have bosses who were willing to take a chance on me.
One of them was a tough, old-school mandarin who picked me to serve as Chief of Station at a small but crucial frontier post. After my appointment was announced, a couple of guys who had been in the running for the job weren’t very pleased. One even told me to my face that he couldn’t believe, couldn’t understand why I—a woman—was chosen to go to a place like that.
While I could have done without the many long nights I spent sleeping on the floor of that small station, that assignment surpassed even the imaginings of a Hollywood screenwriter. I was proud of the fact that we captured two major terrorists, and conducted a counterproliferation operation against a nation state bad actor that went our way.
I managed to do well as an operations officer, and I did what I could to help bring down some of the barriers that I had faced. I’m also proud of a lot of other women who have risen through the ranks, especially since the 9/11 attacks. The Agency really has become a better place to work for all its officers over the years, even though, like others, we still have a way to go.
Strategic Priorities
So it should come as no surprise that one of my top priorities since becoming Director has been to champion diversity and inclusion at CIA. Our global mission at CIA demands that we recruit and retain America’s best and brightest, regardless of gender, race, or cultural background. And I want every officer to have equal opportunities to succeed.
Another strategic priority is to invest more heavily in collecting against the hardest issues. Our efforts against these difficult intelligence gaps have been overshadowed over the years by the Intelligence Community’s justifiably heavy emphasis on counterterrorism in the wake of 9/11. Groups such as the so-called Islamic State and al-Qa‘ida remain squarely in our sights, but we are sharpening our focus on nation-state adversaries.
Closely related to the renewed emphasis on raising our investment against the most strategic intelligence gaps is our push to steadily increase the number of officers stationed overseas. That’s where our mission—as a foreign intelligence agency—lies, and having a larger foreign footprint allows for a more robust posture.
We’re also investing in foreign-language excellence as a core attribute for our officers. We’re strengthening our language training to ensure that our people are more capable and better attuned to the cultures in which they operate.
By the way, I recall very fondly first-class French literature classes at University of Louisville.
And we’re building stronger partnerships at CIA—not only with our sister agencies across the IC, but with our foreign counterparts as well. Teamwork is the only effective way of dealing with the range of complex threats we face across the globe, and CIA is working more closely than ever with our allies across the world.
Finally, no foreign challenge has had a more direct and devastating impact on American families and communities—including right here in Kentucky—than the flow of opioids and other drugs into our country. That’s why CIA is going to invest more heavily in our counternarcotics effort abroad to combat this terrible threat—one that has killed far more Americans than any terrorist group ever has.
CIA and its Role in National Security
In the lobby of our Headquarters building in Langley, Virginia, there’s an inscription from the Book of John: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
It’s a reference to CIA’s core mission: collecting the most accurate and timely intelligence to help policymakers protect our country and advance American interests around the world.
Finding the truth means operating against despotic governments and terrorist groups that fiercely and violently guard their secrets. It’s complicated, risky work.
But as I said, we don’t do easy. The hard jobs come to CIA.
Within the Intelligence Community, CIA is the keeper of the human intelligence mission. Technical forms of collection are vital, but a good human source is unique and can deliver decisive intelligence on our adversaries’ secrets—even their intent.
CIA is also the lead agency for all-source intelligence analysis—the assessments drafted by our analysts based on classified and open-source information. Much of the President’s Daily Brief consists of CIA collection and analysis.
And very often, the President relies on us to act as America’s first line of defense. We’re “first in”—collecting intelligence, moving ahead of the military, going where others can’t go, and doing things that no one else can. These are the sort of activities that fall under the heading of covert action.
Our work requires secrecy, and secrecy in turn requires a profound degree of trust from the American people. Nothing is more important to those of us at CIA than our obligation to earn the trust of our fellow citizens.
That’s why our Agency abides by and embraces an oversight structure that includes the Congressional intelligence committees, the FISA court, and our own independent Inspector General. There’s not another major intelligence agency in the world subject to oversight authority as comprehensive as our own, but that’s as it should be.
It’s what makes us accountable to the open society we serve. It’s what makes us an American intelligence service.
Ethos of CIA
In carrying out every aspect of our work, CIA officers are guided by a professional ethos that is the sum of our abiding principles, core values, and highest aspirations. These include service, integrity, excellence, courage, teamwork, and stewardship.
Sacrifice, too, is an inescapable part of our mission. One hundred and twenty-nine men and women at CIA have died in the line of duty since our founding in 1947.
My first boss in the field was killed in 1993 after volunteering for an assignment in a very dangerous and unstable place. He was brilliant, witty, and courageous—a lovely man who always wore cowboy boots and spoke excellent Russian and Turkish.
He was an inspiration to me and to everyone who served with him, and I think of him frequently.
Of the 129 heroes represented by a star on our Memorial Wall at our Headquarters, 42 have perished since September 11th, 2001. The vast majority of them were lost fighting the long war against al-Qa‘ida.
They include Johnny Micheal Spann, a brave former Marine and the first American to die in the line of duty in Afghanistan. They also include a dear friend of mine, a devoted wife and mother of three who was one of our greatest al-Qa‘ida experts. She was utterly determined to pursue the terrorists who attacked our country—even if it meant putting herself in harm’s way.
People often ask CIA Directors what keeps them up at night. Between rogue WMD programs, cyber threats, terrorist organizations, great power rivalries, and other global threats, there’s bound to be more than a single reason I’m losing sleep on any given night. But I’d like to share with you a story I keep in mind when things get tough.
I served in Africa early in my career, and one day a group of us—largely diplomats—set out to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guide was a wonderful man, a diplomat himself, who had been born at the base of the mountain. His approach was simple—three days up, two days down.
As we made our way up the mountain, we were passed by a group of security officials from a third country who clearly hadn’t done their homework. They were in their prime but overconfident and ascending far too quickly. In the end, they had to be stretchered off the mountain.
But our guide prepared us well for the journey. As we moved up in altitude, he would say again and again in Swahili: “po’le, po’le”—slowly, slowly. Following his advice, many of us made it to the summit safely.
The view was unforgettable. I will never forget the leadership example of our guide. While others tried to make their way up with brute force, he showed us there is no substitute for patience and expertise.
“Po’le, po’le.” I try to remember those words when faced with a difficult challenge. They remind me that in every pursuit, the tough climbs take patience, courage, creativity, and relentless determination.
CIA officers have those qualities in abundance. I couldn’t be prouder to lead them.
And for those of you who aspire to serve your country, take it from your fellow Kentuckian: Prepare yourself with a good education—and don’t do easy. Raise your hand when the hard jobs come to you.
That alone will take you most of the way to the top.
Thank you all very much.

CIA Director Gina Haspel Speaks at Auburn University — Central Intelligence Agency

CIA Director Gina Haspel Speaks at Auburn University

18 April 2019

Good morning. It’s a pleasure to be here with you this morning.
I’d like to begin by thanking General Burgess for the warm welcome. I also want to thank all of you for being here today. It’s encouraging to see so many young people taking an interest in our nation’s security and in the role CIA plays in protecting our country.
I also wanted to congratulate Auburn for winning the SEC tournament and making it to the Final Four for the first time! As a Kentuckian and die-hard Wildcats fan, the Auburn-Kentucky game was a little painful to watch—but, I have to admit, it was a well-deserved victory for the Tigers. Once my team was out, I threw my support to your guys.
And speaking of historic sports rivalries, I thought I’d share a little story with you from early in my career.
I was overseas on my first assignment in Africa when I met a Baptist missionary couple—let’s call them Jerry and Rosy. Jerry was a proud Auburn alum, and since my boss, Mark, happened to be one as well, I’d overhear stories about Jerry and his love for Auburn sports.
One day, I learned that Rosy, Jerry’s wife, had had quite a scare the night before. Rosy found Jerry in bed clutching his chest and gasping for air, and she thought he might be having a heart attack—a terrifying prospect when you’re hundreds of miles away from the nearest hospital.
Rosy ran over to Jerry and asked if he was ok. Jerry didn’t answer, so she became agitated, pleading for him to say something.
At last, Jerry bolted up in bed and shouted: “Touchdown Auburn! Touchdown Auburn!” Rosy was taken aback and asked him what was going on.
Jerry ripped off his headphones excitedly and explained that he had been listening to an Auburn football game on Armed Forces Radio. The Tigers had just scored a touchdown on a reverse, beating Alabama.
“Dying can wait,” he shouted. “We just beat Alabama!”
That just goes to show that you can find an Auburn football fan anywhere—even in the most remote corners of the earth.
But in all seriousness, it’s in places like this where you’ll find CIA officers as well.
Our men and women put their lives on the line every day, often in the world’s most dangerous locations. They do it to uncover the secrets our nation needs to defend itself and to advance American interests across the globe—secrets we can’t get any other way.
I’m sure you’ll understand this morning that I can’t offer any recent espionage tales from the streets of Moscow or Tehran. Those are classified.
But I can say something about CIA’s unique mission and the spirit of sacrifice embodied by our officers, day in and day out.
* * * *
It’s hard to believe that I’ll be celebrating my one-year anniversary as Director of CIA next month—and I can tell you that it’s been everything I’ve expected and so much more.
I may be a 34-year veteran of the Agency, but it still seems like yesterday when I stepped across the iconic seal in our Headquarters lobby for the first time. I still remember the thrill of being sworn in as an officer—raising my hand and reciting the oath to protect our country and our Constitution.
When I first came to CIA as a young recruit in the Directorate of Operations at the tail end of the Cold War, I was eager to learn the nuanced art of espionage—evading surveillance, putting down dead drops, recruiting agents, or “bumping” unsuspecting individuals on foreign sidewalks.
A lot has changed since I first arrived at CIA, but our mission remains as relevant and important as ever. And this is what makes our officers excited to come to work each morning, including me.
But the business of espionage is risky work. As former Director George Tenet used to say, “CIA doesn’t do easy—the hard jobs come to us.”
Our officerswhether at our Headquarters or in the foreign field—carry out those jobs with courage, ingenuity, and derring-do, and I could not be more proud of them.
* * * *
Over the past year, our leadership team has taken steps to improve CIA’s ability to tackle the many challenges we face. And our efforts are beginning to pay off.
For starters, we’ve devoted more time, money, and creativity to our effort against some our nation’s toughest adversaries.
Our Russia and Iran investment has been strengthened after years of falling behind our justifiably heavy emphasis on counterterrorism in the wake of 9/11. Groups like ISIS and al-Qa‘ida remain squarely in our sights, but we’re honing our focus and resources on nation-state rivals.
Additionally, we’re applying cutting-edge technologies and tradecraft to allow us to react more quickly to global developments—like targeting a terrorist organization wherever it arises and before it spreads.
We’re making great strides with our foreign partners—those ties are stronger than ever. And let me tell you, our intelligence allies around the world can really open doors and get things done on behalf of our country.
I frequently meet with my foreign counterparts, either in Washington or over there, and they’re generally very interesting characters—for whom I have great regard and even fondness. There’s one counterpart who’s especially fun to engage—very James Bond-like. He worked his way up through his service, has great spy stories, and is definitely someone you want on your side.
And when you have partnerships this close and personal, you have colleagues who go out of their way to share with CIA their really good stuff—their best intelligence. And our country is tangibly benefitting from these relationships.
We’re also sending more of our people to the field. Not only case officers, but analysts, technical experts, and others. It all comes down to this: if you have a bigger footprint overseas, you can get more done where it really counts.
Along with that bigger foreign presence, we’re placing a renewed emphasis on foreign language expertise and training. We want our men and women to be closely attuned to the cultures in which they operate and to speak the local language.
And that aligns well with our push to strengthen diversity and inclusion at CIA. Our mission demands that we draw deeply from our nation’s rich and diverse talent pool. We just had our best recruiting year in a decade, and we’ll do whatever it takes to make the Agency an employer of choice for all Americans.
Finally, no foreign challenge has had a more direct and devastating impact on American families and communities than the flow of opioids and other drugs into our country—a scourge that has killed more Americans than any terrorist group ever has.
That’s why we’re taking concrete steps to increase our contribution to the President’s whole-of-government approach in tackling this epidemic. I recently had the opportunity to meet with some of our officers who are on the front lines of this effort, and I’m proud of the work they’re doing to stop the problem closer to the source.
* * * *
CIA is stronger than I’ve ever seen it, and I wish I could say more about what our officers do worldwide, day in and day out, on behalf of all Americans. But for their protection, and frankly for yours, I won’t.
What I can tell you is that our officers take on jobs that test their mental and physical strength to the fullest. I just returned from a visit to a war zone where I met with CIA men and women who on a one-year deployment work seven days a week—often going days without sleep. These officers were so hard working and so motivated by the mission in this dangerous location. I could not have been more impressed with them. Their missions are long and arduous, and the operational tempo can be grueling. Our nation is asking them to do more every day, and they sacrifice a lot to keep our country safe.
At the same time, they are not just intelligence officers. They also are devoted fathers and mothers, loving spouses, partners, and companions.
Their families sometimes endure long stretches without knowing where their loved ones are, the dangers they might face, or the risks they must take.
At times, our achievements come at a terrible cost.
In the past few months alone, some very brave officers have been seriously wounded battling terrorists in a remote corner of South Asia. Since 9/11, 42 Agency men and women have died in the line of duty.
Before I close, I’d like to share the story of one of those heroes—someone with a special connection to Auburn.
Nearly 20 years ago, we had an officer who was on assignment in Afghanistan. He had deployed there in the fall of 2001 as part of our government’s immediate response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th. His name was Johnny Micheal Spann, and he was an Auburn Tiger, Class of 1992.
Mike was born and raised in Winfield, Alabama. A natural athlete, he played wide receiver and running back for the Winfield High Pirates.
As a child, he dreamed of becoming a soldier—his bedroom walls were covered with Marine recruitment posters. He joined the Marines as a student at Auburn, where he graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice, and during his military service rose to the rank of Captain.
Mike came to us as a paramilitary officer after eight years of military service.
In his application to CIA he used the words “action, responsibility, and leadership” to describe himself. And he embodied these traits when he deployed to the arid plateaus of Afghanistan in the fall of 2001.
On November 25th of that year, Mike was in an ancient Afghan fortress where Taliban prisoners were being held and questioned. These captives had supposedly capitulated to US troops, but their pledge of surrender was a ruse.
Mike was interviewing a group of them when hundreds of prisoners suddenly revolted. Immediately before he was attacked and killed in the uprising, Mike was able to warn an Agency colleague of the imminent danger, allowing that officer to get to safety.
After hearing of Mike’s death, former Director of CIA George Tenet said the following:
"He led one of our teams into Afghanistan. There, he tracked the authors and allies of terror. There, while fighting for the future of the American people, he fought to bring a better future to the Afghan people. And it was there, one evening, that he said he would gladly risk his life if he could help make the world a safer place for his wife and children."
Mike was the first American to die in the line of duty in Afghanistan.
He demonstrated the highest standards of duty and sacrifice at the forefront of our fight against terrorism. In his short time in Afghanistan, Mike’s actions played a pivotal role in our battle against the Taliban and al-Qa‘ida in the region.
His story is a poignant reminder of the unwavering commitment of all our men and women serving on the front lines.
For me, as for our entire Agency family, the 129 stars on CIA’s Memorial Wall are more than just symbols. They are solemn reminders of friends and colleagues who answered their nation’s call, and who willingly risked their lives to protect us all.
It’s a privilege to join you in honoring one of our greatest heroes, Auburn’s own Johnny Micheal Spann. I hope his story gives you a sense of just how critical our officers are to the strength and security of our country. Mike’s CIA colleagues carry on his work and his legacy in the most dangerous parts of the globe and photographs of Mike hang in CIA Stations around the world.
As I look back on my first year as Director, I am more in awe of the men and women at CIA than ever before. And I know that Auburn graduates also know a thing or two about serving our country, having made invaluable contributions over the years by signing up for the tough jobs—as warfighters, astronauts, and, of course, as intelligence officers.
We at CIA could not be more grateful for your school’s distinguished history of service to our nation. And as you carry on that great tradition, I hope to see many of you again—as partners in the honorable and essential work of keeping America safe and free.
Thank you all very much.

DCIA Haspel Visits Auburn University

CIA Director Gina Haspel visited Auburn University in Alabama yesterday, where she delivered remarks and participated in a Q&A moderated by retired Army Lt. Gen. Ronald Burgess, Auburn’s chief operating officer and former DIA director.
“As I look back on my first year as Director,” said Haspel, “I am more in awe of the men and women at CIA than ever before. And I know that Auburn graduates also know a thing or two about serving our country, having made invaluable contributions over the years by signing up for the tough jobs—as warfighters, astronauts, and, of course, as intelligence officers.”
Director Haspel told the Auburn students the story of Mike Spann, an Auburn alumnus, CIA officer, and the first American to die in the line of duty in Afghanistan after 9/11. She also talked about her 34-year career at the Agency, some of her leadership team’s accomplishments over this last year, and her priorities for the future.
