Stanley Moskowitz, 68; CIA Official Worked Overseas, in Capital
Stanley Martin Moskowitz, 68, a Central Intelligence Agency official who twice served as the agency’s liaison to Congress, died June 29 of a heart attack after playing tennis in McLean, Va.
Moskowitz spent more than 40 years in the CIA, working in Vietnam, Russia, Eastern Europe, Israel, New York and Capitol Hill.
While serving as the CIA’s station chief in Tel Aviv in the mid-1990s, an Israeli newspaper outed him when it exposed a program to train Palestinian security personnel at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va.
He returned to Washington and worked a second stint as the agency’s congressional liaison, retiring in 2005.
As a consultant, Moskowitz was the CIA’s representative to the Interagency Working Group on Nazi War Crimes, whose job was to declassify information in the agency’s files. Last month, he reported that the team had released more than 27,000 pages, much of it new material.
Born in the Bronx, N.Y., Moskowitz graduated from Alfred University in New York and attended a graduate program in government at Duke University but left to join the CIA in 1962.
