Though Goss spoke with half a dozen members of Congress to calm the waters last week, he showed no signs of backing down. A CIA source tells TIME that Goss plans to enforce rules that bar active CIA officials from profiting from their positions or commenting on policy in nongovernment publications. Goss briefs Bush six days a week when both men are in town. Goss is also planning to make a foreign trip soon and is close to recommending a new deputy for White House nomination. One candidate is Lieut. General Michael Hayden, the director of the National Security Agency and a highly regarded veteran whom many old-timers admire. "In the days and weeks ahead of us," Goss's Nov. 15 e-mail read, "I will announce a series of changes, some involving procedures, organization, senior personnel and areas of focus for our action. I understand that it is easy to be distracted by both the nature and the pace of change. I am confident, however, that you will remain deeply committed to our mission. The American people and the President on their behalf, expect nothing less." --With reporting by Timothy J. Burger, Matthew Cooper, Elaine Shannon and Adam Zagorin/Washington
