	Central Intelligence Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A third function of the CIA is to act as the "hidden hand" of the government by engaging in covert operations at the direction of the President.
		The Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (DDCIA) assists the Director in his duties as head of the CIA and exercises the powers of the Director when the Director’s position is vacant or in the Director’s absence or disability.
		Former CIA Director Porter Goss, himself a former CIA officer, denies this has had a diminishing effect on morale, in favor of promoting his singular mission to reform the CIA into the lean and agile counter-terrorism focused force he believes it should be.
