Pompeo to be Director of Central Intelligence | 2016-11-18 | 2016 | 2016-11 | Republican | House | KS | Pat Roberts | R000307 | www.roberts.senate.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), former Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, today applauded President Elect Donald Trump’s selection of Kansas’ own U.S. Representative Mike Pompeo to be the Director of Central Intelligence. “Kansans can be proud Mike Pompeo will lead the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and will be in a position to protect our national security at a time of increasing and varying global threats. “Rep. Pompeo has had the kind of military and private sector experience commensurate with the demands of a CIA Director. Since he began his service on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, intelligence issues have become his passion. His service on the House Select Committee on Benghazi demonstrates this. He is a good and wise selection. “I was proud to recommend him to the transition team and will work to ensure his Senate confirmation is swift.” Senator Roberts, a U.S. Marine, served as the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence from 2002-2006. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
