House spy panel director who killed self was under investigation Wednesday, June 28, 2000 UNITED STATES | The staff manager of the House Intelligence Committee who killed himself June 4 was currently under investigation by the committee itself, said a report on Wednesday. The Washington Times said the committee, which manages the U.S. government's most sensitive secrets, had John Millis, 47, a former CIA operations officer, under examination for "improper activities." Millis, who was found dead at the Breezeway Motel in Fairfax City, Va., apparently died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to local police reports. The paper said Millis told friends he had been placed on administrative leave by Committee Chairman Rep. Porter Goss, R-Fla. However, several other U.S. officials said he had been fired instead by the committee. FBI officials told the Times that Millis was not under examination for releasing unauthorized documents. Police investigating his death in Virginia, along with federal investigators, said no classified documents were found with his body. However, other sources told the paper that sensitive documents were recovered from a safe at his residence. As committee staff manager, Millis had access to the U.S. intelligence community's most intimate secrets. He knew about all U.S. covert action operations, which require written presidential notifications. He also knew about the most sensitive information collected by CIA agents, electronic eavesdropping and photographic satellites. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
