Headed by the Director of CentralIntelligence (DCI), its members include the CentralIntelligence Agency (CIA), a number of Department ofDefense (DOD) agencies and organizations, andintelligence-gathering agencies within the departmentsof State, Energy, Justice, the Treasury, and HomelandSecurity.Defining the Intelligence CommunityIn contrast to the generic term "intelligence community," the United States has a formalIntelligence Community established as a result of Executive Order 12333, signed byPresident Ronald Reagan on December 4, 1981. The order directs, in part, that theUnited States intelligence effort shall provide the president and the National SecurityCouncil with the necessary information on which to base decisions concerning theconduct and development of foreign, defense, and economic policy, and the protectionof United States national interests from foreign security threats. All departments andagencies shall cooperate fully to fulfill this goal.In addition to the CIA, the IC includes 13 other agencies and organizations. Those fromDOD include the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), National Security Agency (NSA),National Reconnaissance Office (NRO),National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), and the intelligence agencies of theArmy, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Non-DOD members include the FederalBureau of Investigation (a part of the Justice Department), the United States CoastGuard (part of the Department of Homeland Security as of 2003), the State Department'sBureau of Intelligence and Research, and the intelligence agencies of the Energy andTreasury departments.TasksThe 16 members of the IC work separately and together in fulfillment of a number offunctions. They collect information required by the president, the National SecurityCouncil (NSC), the secretaries of state and defense, and other officials of theexecutive branch. In meeting the needs of these and other customers, they produceand disseminate a variety of intelligence gathered through the four traditionalmethods of intelligence collection: human, signals, imagery, and measurement andsignatures intelligence (HUMINT, SIGINT, IMINT, and MASINT respectively).0098906-06-01Page 2U.S. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY0098906-06-01Intelligence collection is directed toward information on international terrorist andnarcotics trafficking activities, as well as other hostile activities against the UnitedStates by foreign powers, organizations, persons, and/or their agents. Members ofthe IC are also involved in the conduct of special activities, which can and do involvecovert action against entities deemed a threat to national security.Leadership and oversight.The DCI serves a triple function as head of the CIA,principal intelligence advisor to the president, and director of the IC. He reports tothe president, directly and through the national security advisor and/or the NSC.Each year, DCI presents the president with the annual IC budget, known as theNational Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP).As head of the IC, the DCI is responsible for directing and coordinating nationalforeign intelligence activities, though he only exercises direct authority over CIA, aswell as staff organizations outside the CIA. The latter include the NationalIntelligence Council (NIC), responsible for preparing national intelligence estimates,and the Community Management Staff, which assists DCI in his IC executivefunctions.Advisory boards.DCI also chairs two advisory boards, the National ForeignIntelligence Board (NFIB) and the Intelligence Community Executive Committee(IC/EXCOM). Membership of both is made up of representatives from IC agencies.The NFIB exercises authority over approving national intelligence estimates,coordination of interagency intelligence exchanges as well as exchanges with theintelligence and security agencies of friendly foreign nations, and development ofpolicy for the protection of intelligence sources and methods.The IC/EXCOM advises DCI on national intelligence policy and resource issues,including matters relating to the IC budget, the establishment of needs and priorities,evaluation of intelligence activities, and formulation and implementation ofintelligence policy. Its members include, in addition to DCI, the Deputy Secretary ofDefense and undersecretaries whose roles relate to intelligence; the Vice Chairmanof the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the directors of NSA, NRO, NIMA, and DIA; the AssistantSecretary of State for Intelligence and Research; the NIC chairman; and theexecutive directors for IC affairs and CIA.Internal and external oversight.A number of mechanisms exist for providingoversight and accountability to the IC. These include entities within its membership,as well as from both the executive and legislative branches of government. Withinthe IC is the CIA Inspector General, appointed by the President and confirmed bythe Senate, who is responsible for investigating allegations of impropriety andmismanagement within CIA. DOD has its own inspector general, a position createdby statute, while DOD elements of the IC have non-statutory inspectors generalappointed by the directors of the respective agencies. Independent inspectorsgeneral exert oversight for non-DOD member organizations.0098906-06-01Page 3U.S. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY0098906-06-010098906At the executive level, the Intelligence Oversight Board of the President's ForeignPresident'sIntelligence Advisory Board provides oversight, and reviews the functions of IC overover-sight mechanisms. In the area of budgeting, controlled ultimately by the President,the Office of Management and Budget ensures that IC activities comport with thePresident's overall program.
