McGovern chaired National Intelligence Estimates and prepared the President's Daily Brief, and in the mid-1980s, was a senior analyst conducting early morning briefings one-on-one with the vice president, the secretaries of State and Defense, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and the assistant to the president for national security. At his retirement in 1990, McGovern received the CIA's Intelligence Commendation Medal. In 2006, McGovern returned the medal in protest at the CIA's involvement in torture.
