LEE S. STRICKLAND, FORMER CIA OFFICER

Secrecy News was sad to learn that Lee S. Strickland, a former
Central Intelligence Agency official, died on January 23.

We first encountered him perhaps 15 years ago when he was the
head of the CIA Freedom of Information office, where he used to
reliably deny our FOIA requests.  Over the years he seemed to
enlarge his horizons and to admit the possibility of contrasting
views.  He taught his students at the University of Maryland
that information policy could be exciting as well as important.
And he was a nice guy.

Maryland of Information Studies:
