Veterans of CIA, FBI Joining Staff of Probe
WASHINGTON — The Senate’s select committee investigating the Iran- contras scandal Monday announced the appointment of two new staff members.
They are David Faulkner, 51, of the FBI, and Thomas Polgar, 64, who retired from the CIA in 1981.
Faulkner, a counterintelligence officer, was the FBI’s chief investigator in the probe that resulted in former National Security Agency employee Ronald Pelton’s conviction on espionage charges for selling secrets to the Soviet Union. Polgar, who joined the CIA in 1947, was station chief in Saigon from 1972 until 1975.
