SUBJECT McMahon to Replace Inman
ROBERT MEANS: President Reagan will name a career
CIA man to be the Agency's new Deputy Director. Mark Knoller
has the story.
MARK KNOLLER: The White House has confirmed reports
that President Reagan is promoting John McMahon to the number
two post at the CIA. He will succeed Admiral Bobby Ray Inman,
who announced his retirement last week.
McMahon is a 31-year veteran of the CIA and presently
serves as the number three man at the Agency.
His selection to succeed Inman is seen as an attempt
by the White House to calm congressional concerns about Inman's
departure. Some members of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
Richard Lugar and Henry Jackson, to name two, feel that CIA
Director William Casey needs an experienced deputy at his side.
Jackson says McMahon is a first rate professional
respected by members of Congress.
