She also believes the CIA has been around for a while. One of the names is jumping out and hitting Yvonne on the head. Meredith asks which one and Yvonne whispers that she doesn't want to tell Meredith. Meredith says she won't tell anyone. Yvonne then says, "I know you, Meredith, and if I tell you what I'm thinking you'll try to get me to go with that answer." Meredith replies that she wouldn't do that.

Well the CIA has been around "a while" (depending upon how one defines "a while"). The key here is knowing which president would have been associated with the CIA and only Bush qualifies. I hope she doesn't blame Meredith for making the decision to go for it.

And while the CIA has been around "a while," their headquarters hasn't necessarily been named for that president all that time. Washington-Reagan Airport was there long before it was given its current name.
