WASHINGTON, May 5 (UPI) -- Porter Goss, the Florida congressman who took over the helm of the Central Intelligence Agency, has resigned from office.
The resignation of Goss was announced by President Bush in the Oval Office of the White House Friday.
Goss, whose management style at the country's premier intelligence agency led to a number of high profile resignations, was by the president's side.
So too was John Negroponte, Director of National Intelligence, a post that took overall coordination of U.S. intelligence agencies away from the CIA.
A replacement was not named.
Goss, speaking after the announcement, said the leaves the CIA in better shape than when he came to the directorship in April of last year.
The CIA then was battered over its failed intelligence over Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
