Statement by the Acting Director of National Intelligence
Mr. David C. Gompert
Today, the Senate confirmed retired Air Force Lt. Gen. James R. Clapper to be the DNI.
As we face evolving security threats and continue to build an integrated intelligence enterprise, the Intelligence Community and the nation are extremely fortunate to have such a distinguished leader at the helm.
Mr. Clapper has spent more than 40 years in public service, including a 32-year Air Force career and senior Intelligence Community leadership positions. He is one of our nation's most experienced and respected intelligence professionals.
On behalf of the Intelligence Community, I congratulate Mr. Clapper on his confirmation and welcome him to the ODNI.
