The man named by the new CIA chief to be the agency's executive director said he would not take the position following reports that he was accused of shoplifting more than two decades ago.

However, Michael Kostiw will work at the agency as a senior advisor to Porter J. Goss.

The Washington Post reported over the weekend that Kostiw was accused of shoplifting when he previously worked at the Central Intelligence Agency in 1981.

Kostiw has not confirmed or denied the theft charge. No executive director has been named.
