Scott D. Breckinridge served with the CIA for more than twenty six years, both overseas and in Washington. For three years, he was the agency's briefing officer for the White House staff.

He also served as liaison officer with the intelligence organizations of an allied nation and coordinated assignments with other units or committees of the government's intelligence community.
