DEP. INSPECTOR GENERAL SCOTT D. BRECKENRIDGE

SCOTT DUDLEY BRECKENRIDGE Jr.
The son of Scott and Gertrude Breckenridge was born during nineteen hundred and seventeen among the Washington DC area. The family moved amidst Scott’s youth to the southern city of Lexington where he later earned three degrees and led the fencing team at the University of Kentucky. Following the completion of a law degree, Breckenridge served the US government’s Board of Economic Warfare and eventually joined the US Navy. He took part in several WWII Atlantic operations, including patrolling the Florida coastline, and this led to his command of the USS Saucy until nineteen forty-six. After WWII Scott Breckenridge worked for the Veteran’s Administration, started a private law practice, and undertook multiple unsuccessful political campaigns.

Amid nineteen fifty three, he was employed by the CIA in the role of briefing officer, during nineteen sixty-two Breckenridge joined the inspector general’s office, and he later was the Agency liaison with Australian intelligence. In the course of the nineteen sixties Breckenridge was enlisted to author compartmentalized internal reports on past CIA assassination plots and interviewed several related agents. He spent over two decades protecting the Agency’s interests with his talents and offered a pronounced disdain for anyone challenging its agendas. His notable opposition to ideas offered by the staff of the House Select Committee on Assassinations becomes clear within several pieces of evidence. S.D. Breckenridge was presented the Agency’s highest award twice and retired as Deputy Inspector General in nineteen seventy nine.
