Hayden is currently deputy director of national intelligence, and former head of the National Security Agency.

His appointment must be reviewed and approved by the U.S. Senate. Several senior Republican members of Congress have signaled they are less than enthusiastic about the president's choice.

Earlier, Mr. Bush's security aide, Stephen Hadley, praised General Hayden and rebutted critics in Congress who say a civilian should lead the CIA.

The nomination is likely to revive the controversy surrounding Mr. Bush's authorization of a broad domestic eavesdropping program following the terrorist attacks on the United States five years ago. The president has said General Hayden, then director of the N.S.A., proposed and encouraged the surveillance program.
