Financial Disclosure Report Required for Some National Security Positions

2

I don’t know how long this form has been around but its use expanded after the Aldrich Ames case. Ames, as we recall, was a CIA employee who earned a decent salary… but not enough to explain the large house he bought in McLean VA or the Jaguar he paid cash for. He was asked about this but said his wife’s family had money. Of course the truth was a little different… not only that he was a spy working for the Soviets, but that he was one of the few spies to get paid serious money.
