NSA began its search in earnest when former CIO Raymond Holter retired in late January after 34 years of federal service. Internal candidates can apply, but Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael Hayden, NSAs director, has announced that he plans to hire someone outside the agency, according to the spokesperson. A key part of the CIOs job will be interacting with the winning vendor under Project Groundbreaker, NSAs procurement to outsource its non-spy systems. Ten years of intelligence or military experience is "highly desirable," given the interaction among NSAs four sister intelligence agencies and the Defense Department, according to the spokesperson. NSAs mission is to intercept and analyze foreign military and national security-related communications around the world. In its search for good CIO candidates and applicants for 116 computer specialist positions, NSA held its first job fair, Feb. 24 near Fort Meade, Md. *==============================================================* "Communications without intelligence is noise; Intelligence without communications is irrelevant."
