U.S. Intelligence Community (IC): Appointment Dates and
Appointment Legal Provisions for Selected IC Leadership
This report provides the names and appointment provisions
for selected Intelligence Community (IC) senior officials, as
reflected in U.S. Code, public laws, executive orders, and
custom. Table 1 also includes the committees involved
when Senate confirmation is required. As a general rule, the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) has
jurisdiction over the confirmation of those nominated to IC
leadership positions outside the Department of Defense
(DOD) while the Senate Armed Services Committee
(SASC) has jurisdiction over the confirmation of IC
leadership positions inside the DOD. In some cases (e.g.,
the Directors of the National Security Agency and National
Reconnaissance Office), nominations may be referred
sequentially to the SSCI and the SASC, with the order of
referral depending on the nominee's status as a member of
the armed forces on active duty. If the nominee is active
duty, the nomination begins with the SASC, if not, it begins
with the SSCI.
