Subj: Ames Case
A detailed briefing on the Ames case was given to DoD on 4
March 1994 by the CIA and FBI. Attending the briefing were the
Chiefs of Counterintelligence Operations from AFOSI, NCIS, FCA
and staff from CI&Scm, DASD(I). Mr Ames probably compromised DoD
operations and DoD equities are believed at risk. Chiefs of CI
Operations and the DASD(I) staff are determining the exact
operations at risk with an immediate focus on CY 1992.
