Policy Infringement on Evaluators and Analysts.

Woog, Pierre

Evaluation and the Health Professions, v15 n4 p371-74 Dec 1992

The Senate confirmation hearings concerning Robert Gates as director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) highlight the problems evaluators share with the CIA of keeping policy imperatives out of the search for truth. The CIA at least has a structure for keeping information pure, but many evaluations do not. (SLD)
