Foreign Intelligence Threat Awareness Programs: A Review

Abstract

In April 1996, the National Counterintelligence Policy Board (NACIPB) tasked the Defense Personnel Security Research Center (PERSEREC) to review the effectiveness of foreign intelligence threat awareness (FITA) programs in the Executive Branch and among government contractors. The National Counterintelligence Center (NACIC), as Executive Secretariat of the National Counterintelligence Policy Board (NACIPB), was appointed as project manager. Work on the review began in August 1996, and the study plan, prepared by PERSEREC, was approved by the NACIPB in September 1996. The objectives of the review were to (a) describe FITA activities in the Executive Branch and evaluate their effectiveness; (b) determine briefers' (referred to in this study as providers) perceptions of their capacity to effectively prepare and present briefings, and their views on organizational factors that may inhibit their ability to deliver effective briefings; (c) provide policymakers with information to help enrich programs by highlighting examples of excellent FITA materials; and (d) recommend improvements in the FITA system throughout government and industry.
