Outgoing CIA Director John Deutch upheld yesterday the decision made by a panel he appointed to withold security clearance from a prominent State Department official who gave classified information about CIA covert operations to Rep. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J. Torricelli then made the information public.State official and former Cuba policy coordinator for the White House Richard Nuccio had his security clearance revoked in September by the CIA. Deutch appointed a three-member panel to review the decision. The panel upheld the revocation.
Deutch said Nuccio could reapply for his security clearance in a year. New CIA Director Anthony Lake, who worked with Nuccio during his time at the White House, would make the decision whether to reinstate his clearance at that time.
