Intelligence Issues for Congress

Abstract

The U.S. Intelligence Community continues to adjust to the 21st Century environment. Congressional and executive branch initiatives have emphasized improved cooperation among the different agencies that comprise the Community by giving greater coordination and managerial authority to the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI). The 9/11 Commission recommended that a new position of National Intelligence Director with even more extensive authorities be established. Congress is considering intelligence reorganization legislation, H.R. 10 and S. 2845, that reflects recommendations of the 9/11 Commission; floor consideration began in the Senate on September 27th and is expected to begin during the week of October 4th in the House.
