FBI agents have visited Germany, where Foggo was stationed in Frankfurt before outgoing CIA Director Porter Goss promoted him to be executive director.

The DNI's office felt the CIA was slow to lend a hand when the DNI was setting up his office. The FBI complained, as it often does, about being underbudgeted. And Negroponte had yet to prove to skeptics in Congress that he could wrest control of the Pentagon's massive intelligence assets from Rumsfeld and put them in service not just for military commanders but also for the entire intelligence community...
