Braden, Tom. "The Spies Who Came in from the Cold War. The World Changed. Can the CIA?" Washington Monthly, Mar. 1992, 18-23.

The "disappearance of the [communist] menace leaves the CIA without a cause.... Then why not abolish the CIA?... [A]s Truman understood, we still need an intelligence agency -- a centralized, vigilant agency.... So what should be done with the CIA?" Braden asked that question of Clark Clifford, Richard Helms, William Colby, and Ray Cline. "These men ... agree ... on two things: The CIA should remain in business, and its chief business should be intelligence.... At the end of World War II, Bill Donovan was very good at rapid change.... My hope is that Robert Gates, even without a cause, will be good at changing too."
