Kennedy to that of George H. W. Bush. Ray’s duties included chairing 
National Intelligence Estimates and preparing the President’s Daily Brief, 
which he briefed one-on-one to President Ronald Reagan’s five most senior 
national security advisers from 1981 to 1985. In January 2003, Ray 
co-created Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) to expose 
how intelligence was being falsified to “justify” war on Iraq. As an act of 
conscience, on March 2, 2006 Ray returned the Intelligence Commendation 
Medallion given him at retirement for “especially meritorious service,” 
explaining, “I do not want to be associated, however remotely, with an 
agency engaged in torture.” Ray’s opinion pieces have appeared in many 
leading newspapers and other publications in the U.S. and abroad. He has 
debated three times at the Oxford Forum. He has appeared on The Newshour,
