1. CIA considers Michael's passing to be a private family matter — and not a national security issue. The entire CIA family is heartbroken for their loss.

1. Our biggest fear while we were waiting for him to be repatriated was that someone over there [in Moscow] would put two and two together and figure out who his mother was, and use him as a prop.
2. If you knew our son, he was the ultimate antiestablishment, anti-authority young man the minute he came into the world.
3. It was absolutely news to us that he was involved in any military relationship with Russia.
4. He died running to aid a wounded comrade, trying to protect him. That was classic Michael.
