The Central Intelligence Agency will begin recalling furloughed civilian workers needed to carry out the spy agency’s core missions today, according to CIA Director John Brennan. He also remarked that keeping staffing at its current dramatically reduced level “would pose a threat to the safety of human life and the protection of property.”
