BRITT SNIDER, General Counsel KATHLEEN P. McGHEE, Chief Clerk PREFACE On the morning of February 21, 1994, the Select Committee on Intelligence was advised by the FBI of the impending arrests of CIA employee, Aldrich Hazen Ames, and his wife, Maria del Rosario Casas Ames, on charges stemming from espionage activi- ties allegedly undertaken since 1985. While the extent of these ac- tivities was uncertain at that time, it was clear that Ames, an em- ployee of the CIA's Directorate of Operations for 31 years, was in a position to have done grievous harm. The Committee, like most Americans, was eager to know pre- cisely what Ames had done and how these espionage activities had escaped detection for nine years.

Barack Obama Had to Quit Coaching Daughter’s Basketball Team Due to Parent Complaints, Book Reveals Former US President Barack Obama this week published a memoir titled “A Promised Land,” the first of a planned two volumes the former president has written to disclose insights into his tenure as the president from 2009 to 2017. In his memoir, Obama shares the story of how he and his aide, Reggie Love, in 2010 began coaching basketball practices for his daughter Sasha’s team, called the Vipers, at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC. Despite a successful run coaching Sasha’s team, Obama reveals in his book that he gave up the coaching role after parents of children on rival teams began complaining that their kids were not being trained by the 44th president. “After observing an adorable, but chaotic, first couple of games, Reggie and I took it upon ourselves to draw up some plays and volunteered to conduct a few informal Sunday afternoon practice sessions with the team. We worked on the basics: dribbling, passing, making sure your shoelaces were tied before you ran onto the court,” Obama recounts in an excerpt obtained by the Sunday Times. “And although Reggie could get a little too intense when we ran drills — ‘Paige, don’t let Isabel punk you like that’ — the girls seemed to have as much fun as we did,” he adds, also revealing that when the team beat their rival in the school league championship, he and Love “celebrated like it was the NCAA [National Collegiate Athletic Association] finals.” Obama also notes that after a year of coaching, fellow parents from a rival Sidwell team started complaining about him being a Vipers coach.
