For five years he directed a CIA training program which was awarded a Unit Citation for excellence.\u00a0 This program was successful in preparing U.S. personnel and their families to live and work productively in hostile countries.\u00a0 Upon retirement, Mr. Platt was awarded the CIA&#8217;s Career Intelligence Medal for exceptional performance and commended by the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for his professionalism, zeal and vital assistance to the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Platt and several like-minded Americans took steps to open a window on the \u201cnew \u00a0Russian Federation\u201d in the early 1990s.
