'''Stanley M. Moskowitz''' (c. 1937 &ndash; June 29, 2006) was a top official of the [[Central Intelligence Agency]].

Moskowitz was born in New York and graduated from [[Alfred University]]. While attending graduate school at [[Duke University]], he left to join the CIA in 1962, where he worked for over four decades.

In the 1980s, he was a national intelligence officer for [[Russia]] and [[Eastern Europe]] and became congressional liaison, serving under two CIA directors.

From 1995-1999, he was the station chief in Israel, where he tried with some success to mediate between the [[Israelis]] and [[Palestinians]]. His term ended soon after the [[Benjamin Netanyahu]] government became dissatisfied with his role and an Israeli paper outed his identity as CIA station chief.

He was briefly the CIA's senior representative to the [[Council on Foreign Relations]] in New York. He received two Presidential Distinguished Officer Awards, the Director's Medal, the [[Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal]], the [[Distinguished Intelligence Medal]] and the Intelligence Community Medal of Merit.

After retiring in 2005, he continued as a consultant and CIA's representative to the Interagency Working Group on [[Nazi]] [[War Crimes]]. The team worked to declassify information from the agency's files and as of June 2006 had released 27,000 pages from 174 files, much of it new material.

Former CIA directors [[Michael Hayden (general)|Michael V. Hayden]] and [[George Tenet]] issued statements praising him as "truly exceptional" and "indispensable."
