WASHINGTON (CNN) -- CIA Director George Tenet has resigned, citing personal reasons, President Bush said Thursday.
In a statement made at the White House, Bush said that Tenet informed him of his decision Wednesday night.
Bush said Tenet had done "a superb job for the American people."
"He has been a strong and able leader at the agency," Bush said.
"He has been a strong leader in the war on terror and I will miss him."
Tenet will leave the position in mid-July Bush said.
Tenet was sworn in as the Director of Central Intelligence on July 11, 1997.
