The CIA's New Super-Spy
yt is only 20 miles from Central Intel-
ligence Agency headquarters on the Po-
tomac River in Langley, Va., to National
Security Agency headquarters at Fort
Meade, Md. But at times the two seem
light years apart?institutional rivals for
prestige, power and money in the top-secret
world of espionage. The CIA is far better
known, but the NSA, the code-breaking
arm of the Pentagon, is an elite group that
frequently has more clout inside govern- -
ment. The ins titutional rivalry is such -
that at Fort Meade the CIA is re-
ferred to as "TBAR," shorthand for
"those bastards across the river. =,.
Now, in a widely praised bureaucrat,:
ic shuffle, NSA boss Bobby Ray In-
man is moving across the river to, -
become the No. 2 man at the CIA.
Inman, 49, a superstar in the in:. .
telligence community, will team up- -
with CIA boss William I Casey, 67?
in an effort to restore power and mo-
rale to an agency that has suffered
from scandal and budget cuts in re-
cent years. Casey, who was Ronald
Reagan's campaign manager, will be
Mr. Outside, guaranteed a sympa-
thetic ear at the White House not.
only from President Reagan and Vice
President Bush (a former CIA di-
rector) but from top aides Ed Meese,
Jim Baker and Michael Deaver, all
of whom worked for Casey during
the campaign. Lunen, who knows the
intelligence bureaucracy flu-
ently, will be Mr. Inside, run-
ning the CIA's daily oper-
ations. The two men are likely
to play complementary roles in
other ways, too. Casey will give
special attention to "human in-
telligence," drawing on his
own experience as an OSS spy: - ?
during World War II. Inman will concen-
trate on streamlining the agency's bureau-
cracy and maintaining cordial relations
with Congress. . , ,
? Persuasive?: Inman may well turn out
to be a key player in rebuilding the CIA,
which has gone through five directors
in eight years. A Texan from the small
town of Rhonesboro,. 90 miles from Dallas,
he has spent 28 years in the Navy, rising
to admiral?a rare accomplishment for
someone who did not attend Annapolis.
As NSA director, he was a tough-minded
adminittpibre*OdefrOltrititelitle2
NSA's vast technical operation, thrived in
the spotlight of Congressional oversight,
. tn th" byttiCA
boss Stan sfield Turner tried to wrest contr.(
of NSA from the Pentagon. When Defer*
Secretary Harold Brown learned of a lune
between Turner and Attorney Genen
Griffin Bell to discuss the plan, Brown di
- - patched Inman in a helicopter to pick u.
Bell and give him a whirlwind tour of NSA.
No one was more surprised than Turner
- when Bell showed up for the lunch at the
CIA helipad freshly persuaded by Inman
to leave things as they were. "He's a very
Larry Damning?Maw
Inman: Crossing the river
persuasive man," says Bell.
-, At first, Inman was not eager
to join the CIA; with two sons to put
through college, he planned to seek a high-
paying corporate job. But Casey promised
s him a fourth star (making him one of the
youngest full admirals in history) and even
arranged a personal plea from the President
himself. Inman agreed to sign up, and at
his Senate confirmation hearings last week,
he won high praise. "If ever there was
unanimous consent and enthusiasm, this
is it," gushed Sen. Richard Lugar.
Like Casey, who reassured jittery CIA
employees last week that there would not

Tinkering: Casey and Inman also n edi
to upgrade the CIA's ability to evalute
information. The agency has consist ly
underestimated Soviet strength and as,
sometimes failed to give early warning on
such major political upheavals as the
nian revolution. Casey will make gr ter
use of university consultants as analy ts.
Also on the agenda: beefing up the CI
counterintelligence unit, asking Con essl
for some relief from the Freedom of
formation Act and for a ban on publis g
the names of undercover agents. Muci of,
this is tinkering, but the CIA will certa: ly'
benefit from an increased budget, from lav-
ing so many friends in high places--and
above all from the admirnstrative abilities
of an old spy and the young admiral he
recruited from across the river.

Now shaping up, according to White
House insiders: A collision between
the two most powerful members of
the Reagan team, Secretary of State
Alexander Haig and presidential ;
counselor Edwin Meese. The issue is '
Haig 's attempt to extend his power:
.beyond international affairs to in-
clude intelligence and national-secu-
rity matters?a move that Meese ,
fears would disrupt the orderly sys-
tem of command he has created.
* * *
Bobby Inman, the highly regarded
espionage expert taking over as No. 2
man at the Central Intelligence Agen-
cy, tells associates that his first goal is
to build up intelligence manpower.
The U.S. is great, he says, at using
highly sophisticated devices to track
adversaries' military equipment?but
poor at forecasting where political-
military events are headed.

The Washington Star today continues a
compilation of appointments in the Reagan
administration. Subsequent lists will be
published periodiCally, The salaries listed
below are drawn from the so-called Plum
Book, the government's quadrennial compi-
lation of non-career federal positions. Where
no salary is listed for a position, it is because
no such position is included in the current
Plum, Book. The White House has declined
to give the salaries of its staff appointees.
The salaries listed here would be raised 16.8
percent under a proposal that former Presi-
dent Carter sent to Congress last month.
