Marshall Sylvester Carter was a lieutenant general in the United States Army. From 1965 to 1969, was Director of the National Security Agency. In 1990, a declassified memo released to the US archives revealed that on 5th August, 1963, Carter was acting Director of Central Intelligence.[1]

Life and career

Carter was born on September 16, 1909 at Fort Monroe, Virginia, the son of future Brigadier general Clifton C. Carter. He graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1931 and took an M.S. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1936.

Carter was an aide to General George C. Marshall during Marshall's time as Chief of Staff of the United States Army, Secretary of State, and Secretary of Defense.

Carter, then a lieutenant general, was Deputy Director of Central Intelligence from April 3, 1962, to April 28, 1965. On 5th August, he was Director of Central Intelligence, a fact that only became public several decades later in a declassified memo.[1]

From 1965 to 1969, he worked as Director of the National Security Agency. While serving as Director of the NSA, Carter testified to a House Appropriations Committee about the 1967 USS Liberty incident. He stated that "It couldn’t be anything else but deliberate. There’s just no way you could have a series of circumstances that would justify it being an accident."[2][3] Upon retirement from the military, he was President of the George C. Marshall Research Foundation until retiring from that position in 1985.
