cia is still the engine for the pdb, but in all cases, it is always, regardless of who drafted, cia or any component of the intelligence committee, it is always coordinated throughout the intelligence community. and importantly, where appropriate and where someone wants to, dissents are reflected. you won't find dissents in the pdb's that were rolled out in the university of texas, because it was done by one agency. i think that is a strength, frankly, to register dissent, president obama has won more than one occasion said that he welcomes that, would be surprised that there weren't dissent within the intelligence community, so we reflect that. the other changes are more occasioned by the technology. i may be a little biased, but i think our pdb's today are richer because of the many more sources of information we draw on and the timeliness of the availability of those sources of information, which weren't available then, because of the technology in the pdb's that will be rolled out today. we have gone to an ipad. president obama, who is very i.t. smart, we went through this a couple

the cia has the cia act. the nsa has the nsa act that can be invoked. >> right. >> to essentially, you know, deny certain information. but i think that, you know, going to your point, ben, with internally, there can be proactive disclosures whether it would essentially mean that, you know, perhaps i didn't need to file a foia request for an ig report or 400 of them. but that, you know, could be something where you just put that out there. d.o.d., as an example. again, the cia is a secret agency and everything is classified. department of defense inspector general, they put their ig reports out there. some things are redacted. there are proactive steps that can be taken that can minimize that. but largely everything is, you know, is secret. just trying to get at that is difficult. and that is certainly, you know, part on congress and you know responsibility for changing that. >> one follow-up question on that. there's been recent legislation that requires if there are three requests, i think for the same docum

it was later cia headquarters in 1961. we have a sign in our museum, one must of you will never get to see. initially, the buildings only marker read "governor printing office." that is until a member of president dwight d. eisenhower staff had repeated problems finding the building. an annoyed president called the end a better sign one up immediately. this is not surprising and i can tell you firsthand you do not want to be on the receiving side from an annoyed president, let alone to phone calls. welcome to the third annual at those and practice of intelligence conference. it has only been two years since our first conference. we have established a lasting tradition. looking at the agenda, i'm excited about the topics and what our analysts will bring to the dais. today we will highlight the role of intelligence in addressing humanitarian disasters in debate right balance between secrecy and public accountability. you can see our focus is narrow. in all seriousness, i cannot become another said he was such a wide range of

later cia's headquarters until 1961. in fact we have a sign in our museum, one that most of you will never get to see that proves that point. originally the building's only marker read government printing office. that is until a number of presidents dwight eisenhower staff had repeated difficulty finding the headquarters. legend has it an annoyed president made a couple of calls and another sign went up immediately. such responsiveness doesn't surprise me. i can tell you firsthand you do not want to be on the receiving end of an annoyed president let alone two phone calls. welcome to the conference. since it's ensemble been two years since we held our first conference, i believe we've stabbed a lasting electric addition. looking at the agenda, i'm excited about our topics and what they will bring a to dais, discuss dpinlg tal age, different perspectives of intelligence layson. addressing humanitarian disasters and debate the right balance between secrecy and public accountability. you can see we kept our focus for this c

he was a mechanic in the cia. he was in civilian clothing. he told me that the spring -- that the spraying missions happened sometimes as much as two times a month. he is a farmer. he said the chemicals were much stronger than anything we used here. up to 50 times stronger. he died a year and a half ago of alzheimer's disease related to his agent orange exposure. his father died a year a year and half ago related to his exposure as well. a lot of americans are talks to seem to know someone who died of those kinds of problems that susan was talking about. some children with those problems. him him this was a secret in our family. we could not talk about it. he was not able to talk about it publicly. we went out to the barn to talk about it, because he did not want his wife to know. this was after he retired. so, the secret has to come out. we half to expose it. now. have to expose it it is affecting the children of children of children. when we looked at the spray records and the poverty records in laos, we see that the bright red here matches

then, cia director john brennan. later, a panel with foreign intelligence chiefs from afghanistan, australia, and the uk. >>'s washington journal live every day with policy issues that impact you. coming up wednesday morning, california democratic caucus chair will discuss zika funding and campaign 2016. and pennsylvania republican congressman be with us to talk about government funding, campaign 2016, and pennsylvania's role as a battleground state. and the new atlantis contributor on wall science, should focus on real-world issues.be sure to watch washington journal summit onve eastern. join the discussion. gender, age of the electorate, who supporting donald trump or hillary clinton and why? ,en goldstein is the polling analyst for bloomberg politics also the director of the university of san francisco washington dc program, and a professor in the program at usf. we appreciate it. demographics, she is getting overwhelming support from african-americans, solid support from hispanics, and if you sort of at all the n

a in laos there are 3,000 troops in civilian clothes with the cia as well as cia percesonnelperso. don't know how many, but they're not allowed to talk about it for many many decades. took 25 years before my brother-in-law felt comfortable to talk about it with us. so the u.s. families learn a lot about the vietnam war and learn next to nothing about laos. if you ask american where is laos, they don't know where it is. they cannot even pinpoint it on the map. yet, our taxpayer money went for multibillions of warfare in the country. a lot of people -- and this is the point that i want to make strongly is that paul laos a side show. multibillions went into laos. is that a side show? nine years, ten years of warfare. is that a side snow i don't think so. foreign media weren't experienced vietnam intensely and firsthand put on the planes and went everywhere and foreign media in laos could not go. you're not allowed to go on those air america planes as you were in vietnam, so we did not get a record of it from our med media. vietnamese people heard daily about the war on tv, radio and p

you are cia. these are officers who are trained in body language not to give signals or to try to give signals. every single officer who has been asked about these briefings, the people that have done them, they say they 100% do heads-down give information and leave. >> i spent almost 20 years, almost two decades in operations. you don't need to tell me how things work inside the cia. my point being that i am not going on the record to say somebody lied. whether it is trump or clinton, i don't care. i'm a dog in the hunt. what i'm saying is the other option is not on the table. so they did not -- the agency is not a political organization. we should be very happy about that point. it is an apolitical organization despite how feature films portray it. whether they are doing the president's daily brief or talking to presidential candidates or going up on the hill for a briefing, they do not indicate their political leanings. they are humans. they may have political points of view, of course. do they

the perkinelmer corporation was an expert at cameras, optics, and the cia knew that. design a new reconnaissance camera with extremely good resolution. the hexagon program, its magnitude was humongous. the program was ultra secret. but we had to hire 1,000 people, so we interviewed people ourselves. the trouble was, you could not tell these people what they were going to work on. there were a lot of people, other companies, machine shops, companies that made our electronics. they didn't know what they were working on. they had no clue that it was a reconnaissance satellite. >> we did not want to compromise it. particularly with the adversary who was interested in doing the same kinds of things. same type of things. >> we worked in a building that had no windows. there were guards at every door. we had special phones. of course, we could never divulge anything to our friends or families about, what did you do today? i worked on a project. that was it. you couldn't say anything about it. they were mind-boggling requirements. this camera system which was very complicated

and most remarkably saying that his cia briefers, he's had two briefings, she had one, his cia briefers had told him that president obama is not following their advice. now, i've covered intelligence and the intelligence community for a long time. i was not part of that secret briefing, but i would be stunned that the cia briefers signaled anything to donald trump. they have been absolutely rigorous about saying these briefings would be parallel and in fact if she asked a question about a subject he had not been told he would then get a subsequent briefing. he's had a second briefing. to fill him in. that they would absolutely get the same information. and the fact that they would be signaling to donald trump, a nominee and a controversial one at that who's had no experience in government or with classification that they're not happy with president obama is hard to believe. >> i think you've gone straight to what is the breaking news coming out of this forum. let's listen to that part of the exchange. >> did anything in that briefing, without going into specifics, shock or alarm you? >>

this is is how the cia director travels. the plane is equipped with secure systems ensuring he can communicate with the president during a crisis. we were headed to alabama. the cia did not allow us to record video during the flight. but we were permitted to the audio. during an hour and a half interview on bore, the director told us he worried about isis' success and inspiring attacks worldwide. >> we have invested in this the past several years and right now i think they are trying to reap the harvest of those investments. >> reporter: while the cia focuses on external threats he is looking within the agency itself. in 2013 he ordered a study on racial and ethnic minorities make up 24% of the work force and 10% of the senior intelligence positions. on the day we followed him, brennan was visiting miles college, a historically black college near birmingham. >> everybody at the agency looked like me and thought like me and had my background and experience, i think we would be subject to tremendous group think and we would no

it took 17 years to get the cia family jewels. litigation, negotiating and finally getting that out. getting human beings on the inside. most people who work for the government our public servants. they are in there to do the right thing. if you can get one of those folks on the phone, talk to you about the request, you can often get responses. we were set up in the mid-1980's when government secrecy was going through the roof on national security. a lot of journalists and historians understood that a lot of what the government said was toret and did not stand up scrutiny of people got behind the black watches. blotches. massive overclassification. they all wanted to write their own memoirs and said most of what they did to be released. -- could be released. these journalist and historian set us up to be that institutional memory to house the documents. there was not an internet. we created a library. i'm sitting in now with all these brown boxes full of documents. now we post them on the web and publish them for university librar

they are dumping them on the cia because they didn't want to keep them in the cia. even liddy. liddy was an idiot who'd been dumped on the treasury who had been dumped him on the white house. working for the plumbers were hunt and liddy and they were run by a gay guy named eagle grove. this guy was a former eagle scout. his nickname at the white house was the evil crow, it was a joke. but he was intimidated by nixon and he ran into this crew of clowns and they screwed up. they broke into ellsberg's office, made a hash of that then broke into watergate, did other things as well and got caught. they were not criminal masterminds. nixon didn't even know about these break-in attempts, there was some evidence that his top aides there, certainly probably not. the record is a little squiggly on that. but mostly, the point is it wasn't a conspiracy to violate the constitution, it was a bunch of hapless clowns running around to carry out the will of the deeply shy leader. this might be a time to bring crow on stage. but you make it clear to him again and again the phrase gutter politics

i'd like to offer thanks to cia director john brennan and the cia as a whole for the opportunity to co-host the conference. again, second year in a row. we're very glad to have a relationship with director brennan, such an important public servant to our nation and important world leader in addressing some of the world's most challenging problems. but we're especially proud of the fact he happens to be a george washington university parent. that matters a lot to us. parents are important to our whole enterprise as a university. i'd also like to acknowledge rick knapp who chairs the board of directors. and has been a real force for change in the university in terms of bringing recognition to the importance of cyber security in particular. but homeland security in general to the forefront of our attention and interest as an institution and a lot of what we're doing in that arena is owing to the stimulation and inspiration we receive from trustee rick knapp. and i'd like to thank the panelists and members of the audience who have served this nation in the intelligence communities. we're deligh

>> if information of cia methods were known to an adversary, yes it could have complicationes. >> so it could be life or death? >> it could be, yes. >> even a few sentences from a source could expose that source, true? >> with it would all depend on the few sentences. >> but it could? >> potentially, yes. >> so someone treating information with our spies abroad carelessly should be trusted with a security clearance? >> sir, that is well outside my -- snez i watched the chairman ask each one of you gentlemen and ladies, going back over classified, did you remove any information out of a skiff or any documentation and those that said yes, said, hey, there was seriously to it. right? >> i believe people with access to classified information treat that responsibility seriously, yes. >> say that one more time? >> i said i believe people with access to classified information treat that responsibility seriously, yes. >> really? >> i do. >> so why are we here? >> i would defer to the chairman. >> no, no, no. so why are we here? because we have a secretary of state that had a whole server tha

do you work or have you worked in your career at the cia in what is called the skiff? >> yes, sir. >> what is that? >> skiff is a sentive information facility. >> what's the purpose of it? >> it is a secure facility in which one can handle sensitive information. >> so, if i have that type of information, tsci, am i allowed to store it in my office if it's not certified as skiff? >> there are rules for handling classified information. i wouldn't want to misat a time them, but as a general rule, it should be stored in skiff. >> can i bring it home if i lock my door at night? would that meet the qualifications? >> unless you have a skiff in your home, generally no. >> we have a skiff underneath the capitol here. when you are going into the skiff, there are certain protocols you have to follow, correct? >> yes. >> all the files have to be locked up at the end of the night? >> that's krekts. >> when the skiff is unoccupied, it has to be locked, you can't leave it open, right? >> that's correct. >> you are not allowed to bring phones or electronic recording devices. >> corre

what does this mean from the cia perspective? >> i think that legislation is badly misguided and doesn't take into account the negative impact on u.s. national interest. i think we all recognize emotions associated with 911 are still quite palpable. sovereign immunity has undergirded for centuries, i think it's a very dangerous slippery slope that we are going to get on and elements are going to pass similar legislation that will halt the united states to court overseas for the most frivolous charges and allegations of what u.s. has done overseas. i do think it's much more than going after individual of the saudi government. it is what does it mean as far as this issue. >> stay on the issue of the senate, it was was 971. harry reid was the only one. >> when you go to senators and say, you are hurting american national security if you do this , what do they say to you? >> i've spoken with a number of legislators who recognize there are real downsides to this legislation. i think there are political considerations, there are emotio

this is all cia involvement as a percentage of years. these countries shaded in black are places where the cia was operating from 95%-100% of those years. a big presence for the cia trying to work against the soviet influence. of course there are these other countries where the cia was operating. no only did they want to win the war of influence in africa, the u.s. was worried about losing principally because of this big civil rights problem they had at home. they worried in africa in particular it will cause the u.s. to lose that cultural traction and lose the goodwill for america entirely. the soviet union sent jazz musicians. why not rock 'n roll, why not composers? i think we can get into the idea of this thinking about the difference between what the soviets saw as high culture and what americans thought about the new way of thinking about art. the soviets mastered the art of classical music. they had the market cornered on that. we know this song of course. ♪ this is, of course the -- yeah, it's the "nutcracker suite." right. very

the cia claimed that extended 35, 50 years. how would that show today's discussions? the law does not set a deadline on it. this new bill does. it just got passed by the congress, and president obama says he is going to sign it. i think the last day he has decided is july 4, 2016. -- he has to sign it is july 4, 2016. i don't know if the white house is going to want to have a signing ceremony either. it has taken eight years in effect for them to get into the law something that the president promised on day one. [video clip] >> the freedom of information act is one of the key ways in which citizens are able to find out what exactly is going on in government. the good news is is that, over the course of my presidency, we foiave processed more requests, freedom of information than ever before and we have worked to make it easier and more transparent. having said all of that, we are getting many more requests for foia than ever before. we have had to figure out ways in which we can reform just to make it easier, faster, cheaper for people to get the information that they

the cia's drone program. it's a covert program. everybody knows it exist but you're not to discuss it over any private e-mail. officials in the state department are talking about a future planned drone strike by the cia. it ends up not happening but this gives you a window into what this entire controversy has been about which is a fight between the cia. the cia has always found fought with the way the state department has handled the way it dealt with this program. >> there were documents that had a letter "c" suggesting they were classified. >> it tells you a lot about what secretary clinton, how she knew how to handle these documents. she said she didn't know what the c stood for. she said that this was a reference to alphabetical order of paragraphs. it tells us that even though she's been in public service all these many years, she really did not know how to handle these documents. she says she never got any training or any kind of briefing from the state department about how to retain public records or how to handle classifie

driving forces inside the cia. it is a question of balancing the capabilities, the development of infrastructure expertise that when the president, and every president since we were set up 69 years ago last sunday, has called upon cia to carry out some type of covert action. it requires some type of paramilitary dimension to it, but not always. what we try to do after 9/11, there was so much of the demand to go out and go on the offense against terrorist groups. that is why cia boots were the first boots on the ground in afghanistan after 9/11. the first time a u.s. person was killed in afghanistan after 9/11 was a cia officer. invested a lot of love in our good friend and ally, the country of afghanistan. it is a question of balancing the capabilities and i think we should not have too much excuse where the one side is given. the world is a big place and we have a lot of challenges. >> i am interested in two things. the first, doing things other people can do. in other words, where do we as the covert capabilities

that might be conducted by the cia. in the military coming in and saying here's our military posture in iraq, and how we're responding to a buildup of opposition. very different, what's going on on the ground, how does u.s. respond to that problem? two different briefings, anderson. >> anderson, let me add to that, too. let me add, it appears that the briefing hillary clinton was talking about back in 2008 was the briefing from the department of defense on policy and she got that because of the fact she was a senator. this is not the customary intelligence briefing that phil was just talking about. >> all right. david preese, phil mudd, thanks very much. >>> new polls show a tightening race in four battleground states. john king breaks it down by numbers. >>> does clinton's shrinking lead signal it's time for a strategy reset? details ahead. t-mobile's coverage is unstoppable. we doubled our lte coverage. and, with extended range lte, it reaches farther than ever. now you can stream video and music free in more places w

army official told the cia station in berlin, it's the law of gravity. [laughter] >> well, the soviets' development of atomic bomb in 1949 gave signals intelligence an even greater urgency. as signals were almost the only plausible source that could detect military preparations within the soviet union and the biggest challenge in november 1948 the soviets abrupted change in all of military systems and it was unprecedented development that washington and london briefed that the soviets were about to talk a military attack on the west. new soviet codes proved far more challenging and, indeed, most of the high-level soviet codes would remain unbroken probably in 1979 when super computers and advanced mathematical researched what one nsa paper referred to height of american in the cold war around the time of soviet invasion of afghanistan. nsa brought in outside panels of leading mathematical and experts to review the state of the russian possible and possible solutions and evaluations are almost nothing of a tale and pes missism. no national strategy should

>> absolutely, even to a president. >> this seems like an odd place for a cia director. >> reporter:nnan, coming to birmingham is all about understanding evil. in 1963, in the middle of the civil rights movement, three members of the ku klux klan planted three sticks of dynamite outside a baptist church. the explosion killed four young black girls. >> so this makes real what we try to do every day to try to keep the country strong and the sinces secure. >>> history will be made tomorrow with the grand opening of the smithsonian african-american museum and culture. the event will kick off with the event with living color and includes thousands of exhibits. many of them were family treasures donated to the museum. teresa duncan reports. >> you could almost say this event foreshadowed our past, and how it connects to where we are today. >> you can pick up this and touch it and know that it was in his hands. now, doesn't that send a chill down your back? >> it does. >> yeah. >> this freedom paper belonged to josephtrammer, who protected his freedom using this tin box, knowing that the pa

person wasime a killed in afghanistan after 9/11 was a cia officer. we have invested a lot of love in our good friend and ally, the country of afghanistan. it is the case of balancing the capabilities and i think we should not have too much one where the other given the world is a big place and we have a lot of challenges. >> absolutely. context ofhin the our values, i'm interested in two things. the first is doing the things that other people cannot do. in other words, where do we, the covert capability, at the most value? the second is making a difference. when you look at the morality of our business, it is about doing things that we expect to have a positive effect on the things that really matter to our government. so we focus on what we can do that will make a big difference. in a sense, the capability conversation comes after that. after you determine what takes a difference. that should be the subsidiary question. we come out of the human tradition in and i am proud of that being a relative specialty of my service. i don't want to elevate the

and outfront next my exclusive conversation with the director of the cia john brennan.e'll talk about donald trump's relationship with vladimir putin. with my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations

former cia director michael hadden saying pretty much the same thing, the problem is, many say they seeld trump as politicalizing, which should not be a political issue. political sizing intelligence, trump is moving on from that and trying to address the voters at the summit tomorrow and in washington, d.c., the conference they have every year, the conference, hi was there last year, i can tell you he was not necessarily received very warmly in the race. ted cruz was a favorite down there, as well as marco rubio. in fact, he called him a clown and a baby. the crowd in that room booed him, strongly, first time that donald trump had really gotten boos. he did not take it well, i tried to ask him a couple of questions about it. and he literally almost ran from the cameras. it will be very interesting to see how this conservative and evangelical crowd takes him tomorrow. >> katy tur, continuing to hang out with us for one second, nicole wallace, on the briefing, you have to believe that an intelligence professional or professionals answered a question like of course try telling obama that.

this is how the cia director travels. the plane is equipped with secure systems to make sure he can coordinate with the president during crisis. the cia did not allow us to record video during the flight the director on board said he worried about isis success and inspiring attacks worldwide. >> there were attacks over the past several years, and right now i think they're trying to repeat the harvest of the investments. >> reporter: while the cia focuses on external threats, bre in nnan is also trying to look at problems within the diversity issues make up about 20% of senior intelligence issues. on the day we followed him, brenna this was visiting this college in birmingham. >> if everybody thought like me, and felt like me i think we would not be open to new ideas. >> did u.s. intelligence to some of those reasons miss what was the arab spring. >> no matter how much we had insight into the government, we didn't have the pulse of the street as best as we should have. >> reporter: isis groups part of out of discontent in

as we mentioned, you were cia director under bill clinton.ng, you are now advising donald trump. what is your role? >> just an adviser. he and his campaign got in touch last friday and he and i met briefly and i agreed to advise him. it would be, i'm sure, principally if not exclusively on national security matters such as defense, intelligence, maybe some aspects of energy. i don't know. whatever he needs. >> not to be pedantic, the fact you are advising donald trump means you support donald trump for president? >> well, sure, but i'm not in the business of going around dispensing endorsements. i'm a consultant and investor in national security and energy matters and i'm not a political operative. i have worked on two campaigns in my life. eugene mccarthy in 1968 which i organized at yale and the john mccain campaign eight years ago. so i'm not in the business of doing lots of endorsing. >> seems like you just did, though, to be clear. you do say you support donald trump for president. that may not be an endorsement with a capital e but you
