DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE (DDCI).
The DDCI was second in command of the intelligence community
(IC) until 2005 and was appointed by the director of central intelli-
gence (DCI) and confirmed by the Senate. Under the terms of the Na-
tional Security Act of 1947and various other enabling legislation,
both the DCI and DDCI could be civilians, but only one could be a
serving military officer. See alsoAppendix B.DESERT ONE. Desert One was the U.S. government designation for

intelligence (DCI) between 10 May 1995 and 15 December 1996.
John M. Deutch has served in significant government and academic
posts throughout his career. Prior to becoming DCI, he was deputy
secretary of defense from March 1994 until March 1995 and under-
secretary of defense for acquisitions and technology from March
1993 until March 1994.
In addition, John Deutch served in a number of positions in the De-
partment of Energy (DOE) from 1977 until 1980 and on many com-
missions during several presidential administrations: the President’s
Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee (1980–1981); the President’s
Commission on Strategic Forces (1983); the White House Science
Council (1985–1989); the President’s Committee of Advisors on Sci-
ence and Technology (1997–2001); the President’s Intelligence Advi-
sory Board (1990–1993); the President’s Commission on Aviation
Safety and Security (1996); the Commission on Reducing and Protect-
ing Government Secrecy (1996); and the Commission to Assess the Or-
ganization of the Federal Government to Combat the Proliferation of
Weapons of Mass Destruction (chairman, 1998–1999). After leaving his
DCI post in 1996, Deutch became embroiled in a controversy over his
alleged cavalier attitude toward security by keeping classified informa-
tion on a nonsecure computer at home. After an investigation, George
J. Tenet, Deutch’s successor as DCI, revoked his security clearances.DIPLOMATIC BAG.Adiplomatic bag is a term used to describe ship-
