Statement from Senate Intel Chairman Burr on ODNI Nomination

08.02.19

Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) today released the following statement:

"I respect John Ratcliffe's decision to withdraw his name from consideration for Director of National Intelligence, and I appreciate him considering serving his nation in a new role. I am grateful that he will continue serving the people of Texas in the House. As the White House determines its next nominee, I'm heartened by the fact that ODNI has an experienced and capable leadership team to help see it through this transition. However, there is no substitute for having a Senate-confirmed director in place to lead our Intelligence Community. I remain committed to moving the official nomination through regular order once it is submitted to the Senate."
