The Director of Central Intelligence said today that no one would be dismissed or demoted for the “systemic failure” of the Central Intelligence Agency in the case of Aldrich H. Ames, the spy for Moscow who flourished inside the C.I.A. for nine years.
Instead, the Director, R. James Woolsey, said he was sending letters of reprimand to 11 former and present C.I.A. officials, including his director of clandestine operations, Ted Price. . .
