Political career
[edit]
Early political career
[edit]
Panetta started in politics in 1966 as a legislative assistant to Republican Senator Thomas

Kuchel, the United States Senate Minority Whip from California, whom Panetta has called "a
tremendous role model".[10]
In 1969 he became the assistant to Robert H. Finch, Secretary of the United States Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare under the Nixon administration. Soon thereafter he was appointed
Director of the Office for Civil Rights.[11]
Panetta chose to enforce civil rights and equal education laws over the objection of President
Nixon, who wanted enforcement to move slowly.[12] Robert Finch and Assistant Secretary John
Veneman supported Panetta and refused to fire Panetta, threatening to resign if forced to do
so.[13] Eventually forced out of office in 1970, Panetta resigned and left Washington to work as
Executive Assistant for John Lindsay, the then-Republican Mayor of New York City (Lindsay
would switch parties the following year.) He wrote about this experience in his 1971 book Bring Us
Together.[14]
He moved back to Monterey to practice law at Panetta, Thompson & Panetta from 1971 through
to 1976.[15]
[edit]
Elections [edit]
Like Lindsay, Panetta switched to the Democratic Party in
1971, because he thought that the Republican Party was
moving away from the political center.[16] In 1976,
Panetta was elected to the U.S. Congress to represent
California's 16th congressional district, unseating
incumbent Republican Burt Talcott with 53% of the vote
(the 17th district after the 1990 census), and was
reelected for nine terms.[17][18][19]
Tenure [edit]
During his time in Congress, Panetta's work concentrated
mostly on budget issues, civil rights, education,
1977 Congressional portrait of
Panetta.
healthcare, agriculture, immigration, and environmental

issues, particularly preventing oil drilling off the California
coast. He wrote the Hunger Prevention Act (Public Law
100-435) of 1988, and the Fair Employment Practices
Resolution . He was the author of legislation establishing the Monterey Bay National Marine
Sanctuary ,[20] and legislation providing Medicare coverage for hospice service.
Budget Committee [edit]
A member of the House Committee on the Budget from 1979 to 1989and its chairman from
1989 to 1993he played a key role in the 1990 Budget Summit.[21][22]
Committee assignments [edit]
His positions included:
Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on the Budget
Chairman of the Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Domestic Marketing, Consumer
Relations, and Nutrition
Chairman of the Administration Committee's Subcommittee on Personnel and Police
Chairman of the Task Force on Domestic Hunger
created by the U.S. House Select
Committee on Hunger
Vice Chairman of the Caucus of Vietnam-Era Veterans
in Congress
Member of the President's Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies .
Director of the Office of Management and Budget
[edit]
Though elected to a ninth term, he left the House in 1993, after President Bill Clinton selected him
to be Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget. He is credited with
developing the budget package that would eventually result in the balanced budget of 1998.
[edit]
In 1994, President Clinton asked Panetta what was wrong with his administration and was told by
Panetta about the lack of order in the White House. Clinton named Panetta as his new Chief of
Staff, replacing Mack McLarty. According to author Nigel Hamilton, "Panetta replaced McLarty for
the rest of Clinton's first termand the rest is history. To be a great leader, a modern president
must have a great chief of staffand in Leon Panetta, Clinton got the enforcer he deserved."[23]
On July 17, 1994, he was appointed White House Chief of Staff by Clinton, a position he held until
January 20, 1997. He was an important negotiator of the 1996 budget, which was another
important step towards balancing the budget.[24][25]
Director of the CIA
[edit]
Nomination [edit]
Then-President-elect Barack Obama nominated Panetta
to the post of Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
on January 5, 2009.[1]
After his selection, journalists and politicians raised
concerns about his lack of intelligence experience, aside
from his two-year service as a military intelligence officer.
Washington Post columnist David Ignatius said that
Panetta did have tangential exposure to intelligence

operations as Director of the OMB and as Chief of Staff

for President Bill Clinton, where he "sat in on the daily
intelligence briefings as chief of staff, and he reviewed the nation's most secret intelligencecollection and covert-action programs in his previous post as director of the Office of Management
and Budget".[26]
California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee
on Intelligence, expressed concerns with the selection of Panetta:
I was not informed about the selection of Leon Panetta to be the CIA Director. I know nothing
about this, other than what Ive read. My position has consistently been that I believe the
Agency is best-served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time.[27]
Former CIA officer Ishmael Jones stated that Panetta was a wise choice, because of his close
personal connection to the President and lack of exposure to the CIA bureaucracy.[28][29]
On February 12, 2009, Panetta was confirmed in the full Senate by voice vote.[30]
Tenure [edit]

from his new subordinates.[31]
In March 2009, Panetta visited India to discuss a host of issues
including common strategy on dealing with Islamic extremism and
Taliban. This was his first international visit since he assumed

office.[32]
In 2010 Panetta conducted a secret review of enhanced
interrogation techniques used by the CIA during the
administration of George W. Bush. The review, which came to be known by 2014 as the "Panetta
Review," yielded a series of memoranda that, according to The New York Times, "cast a
particularly harsh light" on the Bush-era interrogation program.[33]
Panetta supported U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, which he identified as the "most effective
weapon" against senior Al-Qaeda leadership.[34][35] These attacks increased significantly under
Panetta, with as many as 50 suspected Al-Qaeda militants being killed in May 2009
alone.[36][37][38]
As Director of the CIA, Panetta presided over the operations that led to Osama bin Laden's death
on May 1, 2011.
Secretary of Defense
[edit]
Nomination [edit]
On April 28, 2011, President Obama announced the
nomination of Panetta as United States Secretary of

Defense as a replacement for retiring Secretary Robert
Gates. On June 21, 2011, the United States Senate
confirmed Panetta in a 1000 vote.[39] He was sworn in
on July 1, 2011.
Tenure [edit]
One of Panetta's first major acts as Secretary of Defense

was to jointly certify with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs

of Staff that the military was prepared to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", triggering final repeal after
60 days. In August 2011, Panetta said that deeper cuts in the defense budget risked hollowing out
the military and would hamper Pentagon efforts to deal with rising powers such as China, North
Korea, and Iran. It was the second day in a row that Panetta issued a public warning to Congress
not to go beyond the roughly $400 billion in defense cuts required over the next decade under the
debt reduction bill signed by President Barack Obama. "You cannot deal with the size deficits the
country is confronting by simply cutting the discretionary side of the budget", he said, referring to
defense and other portions of the budget that Congress appropriates annually. "You have got to
look at the mandatory side of the budget, which is two-thirds of the federal budget, and you also
have to look at revenue."[40]
Like Robert Gates before him, Panetta has fielded
questions from the troops about their entitlements. He
has said that future soldiers may see changes in
retirement benefits and that healthcare may need reforms
to protect care while reining in costs.[41]
In November 2011, Panetta, speaking at the Halifax
International Security Forum,[42] described the United
Panetta stands with Saudi Arabian
Minister of Defense Prince Salman bin
Abdulaziz Al Saud, Pentagon, April 11,
2012
States as confronting "fiscal realities of limited resources"

and outlined the future of the United States Armed Forces
"that, while smaller, is agile, flexible, deployable and
technologically equipped to confront the threats of the
future".[43] He also urged other countries to share in the
burden of maintaining global security.[44]

When the debt reduction super-committee did not approve a deficit reduction plan,[45] Panetta
said that the "failure of the congressional super-committee to reach an agreement on deficit
reduction is a setback for the country's efforts to achieve fiscal responsibility while protecting our
national security." He added that "if Congress fails to act over the next year, the Department of
Defense will face devastating, automatic, across-the-board cuts that will tear a seam in the
nation's defense."[46]
I join the President in his call for Congress to avoid an easy way out of this crisis...
Congress cannot simply turn off the sequester mechanism, but instead must pass
deficit reduction at least equal to the $1.2 trillion it was charged to pass under the
Budget Control Act of 2011.
In January 2012 Panetta, speaking to soldiers

at Fort Bliss in Texas, said that the United
States is keeping all its options on the table,
including military ones with regard to Iran.
"Clearly there are those areas that for us are
red lines", Panetta said. "Number one, we
cannot allow them to develop a nuclear
weapon. That's a red line. Number two, we
cannot tolerate Iran blocking the Straits of
Hormuz."[47] In June 2012, Panetta marked
Pride Month by praising the contributions of gay

Monti in Rome.
members of the military both before and after

the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell".[48]
In August 2012, on a visit to the Middle East, Panetta said regarding Iran acquiring nuclear
weapons that "if they make the decision to proceed with a nuclear weapon... we have options
that we are prepared to implement to ensure that that does not happen." Panetta made the
remarks during a visit to an Iron Dome counter-rocket defense system outside the city of Ashkelon
together with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak.[49] Panetta said repeatedly that "all options",
including military force, are on the table to stop Iran, should sanctions and diplomacythe
preferred means of persuasionultimately fail. He said he still hopes Iran will see that
negotiations are the best way out of this crisis.[50]
In January 2013, Panetta announced that women would soon be allowed to enter all combat jobs
in the military, citing an assessment phase in which "each branch of service will examine all its
jobs and units not currently integrated and then produce a timetable for integrating them".[51]
Infantry and Special Operations would take longer for women to integrate into. It was also stated
that if a "specific job or unit should not be open, they can go back to the Secretary and ask for an
exemption to the policy, to designate the job or unit as closed".[51]
Activities outside politics
[edit]
Panetta and his wife founded the Leon & Sylvia Panetta
Institute for Public Policy
in December 1998, where
they serve as the Institute's directors. The Institute is

located at California State University, Monterey Bay.
Panetta was instrumental in creating CSU Monterey Bay
by converting Fort Ord, where he was chief of operations
and planning of the intelligence section when he was in
the army, into the university. Leon & Sylvia Panetta both
served on the board of the UC Santa Cruz Foundation, as
Distinguished Scholar to the Chancellor of California
Panetta giving his farewell speech to

Europe at King's College London in
January 2013.[52]
State University[53] and as Presidential Professor at

Santa Clara University. He was urged to consider running for Governor of California during the
recall election in 2003, but declined in part because of the short time available to raise money.[54]
Panetta has long been an advocate for the health of the world's oceans. As a member of
Congress from Californias 16th District, he wrote numerous successful acts of Congress to
protect the California coast, including legislation creating the Monterey Bay National Marine
Sanctuary .[53][55][56] In 2003, Panetta was named chairman and commissioner of the Pew
Oceans Commission, which in 2005 combined with the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy to
establish the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative. Panetta now co-chairs the Joint Ocean
Commission Initiative with Admiral James D. Watkins, U.S. Navy (Ret.).[57] Panetta continues to
pursue his commitment to ocean and marine life issues, serving as a resource for legislators and
the media, advocating for ocean reform on behalf of the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative as well
as other ocean organizations, including the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation[58] and the
Monterey Bay Aquarium.[59]
In 2006 he was part of the Iraq Study Group, also known as the Baker Commission.[60][61]
In 2009 Panetta delivered the commencement speech to the graduating class at The University of
Maryland at College Park, emphasising the importance of public service and leadership.[62][63] In
2014, Panetta published his memoir Worthy Fights.[64]

In June 2002, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops appointed Panetta to their National
Review Board,[72] which was created to look into the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandal.
This created controversy because of Panetta's pro-choice stands on abortion and other views
seen as conflicting with those of the Church.
Panetta is also a member of the Partnership for a Secure America's bipartisan Advisory Board.
The Partnership is a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC that promotes bipartisan
solutions to national security and foreign policy issues.
Personal life
[edit]
Panetta is married to Sylvia Marie Varni, who administered his home district offices during his
terms in Congress.[73][74] Their son, Jimmy, is the Monterey County Deputy District Attorney and a
candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives for California's 20th congressional district in the
2016 elections.[75]
He and his wife live on his family's twelve-acre (49,000 m) walnut farm in Carmel Valley,
California. They have three sons and six grandchildren.[20] The cost of Panetta's frequent trips
home on military flights were a source of controversy during his tenure as Secretary of
Defense.[76]
