President Barack Obama has nominated retired Gen James Clapper, a top Pentagon official, as his next intelligence chief.
If confirmed, he will replace Adm Dennis Blair, who resigned in May after a run of security failures, as director of national intelligence (DNI).
The new DNI will oversee 16 agencies in the intelligence community.
Mr Obama has urged the US Senate to confirm Gen Clapper's nomination swiftly. - BBC
