Washington, D.C. 20530 Dear Mr. Attorney General: In March 2001, you asked me to lead a Commission to study security programs within the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Your request came at the urging of FBI Director Louis Freeh, who had concluded that an outside review was critical in light of the then recently discovered espionage by a senior Bureau official. In discharging my duties, I turned to six distinguished citizens as fellow Commissioners and to a staff of highly qualified professionals. I want to acknowledge the diligence with which my colleagues pursued the complex matters within our mandate. The Commission took its responsibilities seriously. It was meticulous in its investigation, vigorous in its discussions, candid in sharing views, and unanimous in its recommendations. When I agreed to chair the Commission, you promised the full cooperation and support of the Department of Justice and the FBI. That promise has been fulfilled. I would like to thank the Department’s Security and Emergency Planning Staff for the expert help they gave us, and I especially commend the cooperation of Director Mueller and FBI personnel at every level, who have all been chastened by treachery from within.

Present and former U.S. Gov- ernment employees with access to sensitive classified information have played the key roles in each operation. Damage to U.S. national security has been signifi- cant and is still being estimated. Deeply concerned over these developments, the House Permanent Select Com- mittee on Intelligence has spent a great deal of time investigating this alarming situation. This report represents one outcome of the investigation. From its early days, the Administration has focused considerable attention and effort on improving the effectiveness of U.S. counterintelligence. Concomitantly, the House and Senate Intelligence Committees have authorized significantly in- creased funding for counterintelligence and urged that counterintelligence con- cerns assume a higher priority within the Intelligence Community. These efforts have elevated the morale, status and numbers of counterintelligence personnel, helped cope with security investigation backlogs and encouraged new initiatives in some operational and policy areas.

Defending the American Dream: Coverage of the Jonathan Pollard Spy Case Abstract This article contemplates the journalistic coverage of American espionage as an attempt to maintain consonance with broader cultural discourses about what it means to be an American. Tracking the American press coverage of the Jonathan Pollard spy case, the article demonstrates that the press turns espionage into a phenomenon upholding fundamental American beliefs in openness, sincerity, and straightforwardness. It shows that, rather than represent espionage as a phenomenon embodying deceit, secrecy, and immoral action, the press turns espionage into a phenomenon that communicates that one is what one says one is and that one's self presentation reflects one's insides. Ultimately, however, this representation of espionage undermines a full understanding of how - and why - spying works in culture.

  • Americans Who Spied Against Their Country Since World War Ii
    PERS-TR-92-005 May 1992 AMERICANS WHO SPIED AGAINST THEIR COUNTRY SINCE WORLD WAR II Suzanne Wood PERSEREC Martin F. Wiskoff BDM International, Inc. Defense Personnel Security Research Center 99 Pacific St., Building 455, Suite E Monterey, California 93940-2481 Preface In the Stilwell Commission's 1985 report, Keeping the Nation's Secrets, concern was expressed over the increase in reported espionage cases in the 1980s and the lack of research information on espionage and personnel security that might have guided the Commission's deliberations. The Defense Personnel Security Research and Education Center (PERSEREC) was instituted to provide policy-makers with such research data. As part of a broader research agenda, PERSEREC has since constructed a database that permits analysis of espionage against the United States by its own citizens. This report details the results of that analysis. Based on unclassified data only, the database covers the period 1945 to 1990 and consists of information on 117 spies' personal and job characteristics and on the characteristics of the espionage act itself. In addition to presenting an overall picture of the spies, the information is analyzed according to whether spies: were intercepted the first time they attempted espionage or actually transmitted information; were military or civilian; exhibited different characteristics over time, and volunteered or were recruited. In addition, motivation for espionage is examined. The results will be of utility to Department of Defense (DoD) policy-makers in framing counterintelligence and security countermeasures and counterintelligence policy, to DoD component specialists who conduct counterintelligence and security countermeasures education, training, and security awareness programs, and also to many in government who are interested in understanding trends and themes in espionage.
