R. James Woolsey, who led the Central Intelligence Agency during President Bill Clinton's first term, has died at age 84 1. He passed away Tuesday at his home in Washington from a stroke 1.
Woolsey served as CIA director from early 1993 to early 1995 1. His wife attributed his declining health in recent years to "Havana syndrome," a mysterious condition reported by some U.S. diplomats and government personnel 1.
Before heading the CIA, Woolsey served as undersecretary of the Navy in the Carter administration 1. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on September 21, 1941 1, and held degrees from Stanford University and Yale Law School, and was a Rhodes Scholar 1.
During his tenure at the CIA, Woolsey faced criticism for insufficient sanctions against supervisors of Aldrich Ames, a CIA turncoat who was paid $2.5 million by Moscow for U.S. secrets from 1985 until his arrest in 1994 1.
