At the invitation of CIA Director Michael Hayden, former President George H.W. Bush dropped by the agency on Tuesday to help mark its 60th birthday. Bush, who served as director for a year during the 1970s, told 1,500 people gathered at headquarters in Langley that he’s “never met as dedicated and selfless a group of people as those who work here at the CIA.”

According to an agency release, Bush shook hands and signed autographs for employees, cut a birthday cake, and lunched on a menu that included pulled barbecue pork, barbecue chicken, hamburgers, coleslaw, German potato salad, baked beans and brownies.
