President. I would like to observe that the next several years will require the agency to change its focus and adjust to the emerging international environment. It will usher in a period characterized by the rapid dissolution of the Soviet Union. the integration of West Europe. the proliferation of conventional and nuclear weapons in the Third World. environmental problems. large scale refugee migration. and ethnic strife. In light of these dynamic changes. the CIA will require someone at the helm that understands the needs of high level policymakers. but that is schooled in the procedures of the intelligence process. The position of Director for Central Intelligence [DCI] will require a person with the requisite experience and expertiseand not a director who will have to learn on the job.
