Artifact Details

During the holiday season in 2000, departing President Bill Clinton sent his Director of Central Intelligence, George Tenet, this parting gift—a classic James Bond movie music CD, which was a limited edition released exclusively in the US in 1992. An accompanying note on White House stationery read, “George—Somehow, when I saw this, I thought of you—Thanks for a good run. Bill Clinton, Christmas 2000.” Tenet served as DCI from 1997 to 2004.
