WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The general considered the Bush administration's likely choice to become CIA director would be the "wrong person at the wrong place at the wrong time," the Republican head of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee said on Sunday.

Gen. Michael Hayden, former director of the National Security Agency, has been widely cited in the media as the President George W. Bush's expected pick to lead the CIA following the ouster of CIA director Porter Goss.

"We should not have a military person leading a civilian agency at this time," Rep. Pete Hoekstra of Michigan, told "Fox News Sunday."

Hoekstra also ordered his campaign and political action committees to find any donations related to Wade or Wilkes and donate similar amounts to charity.

Wilkes gave Hoekstra's campaign $1,000 on Feb. 2, three days after the ADCS political action committee gave the same amount, campaign-finance records show. The ADCS committee gave $2,000 in May to the MILead Fund, Hoekstra's political action committee.
