handle is hein.crs/govzpk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ICongressonal Research Service ~~ normn qhe legislive debate since 1914 Updated May 10, 2019 The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) The United States Intelligence Community (IC) is a collection of 17 component organizations within six cabinet departments and an independent agency that all carry out intelligence-related functions. The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) oversees the integration of these intelligence functions, spearheads the support the IC provides to the military and senior policy-makers across the government, and serves as principal intelligence advisor to the President. Creation of DNI Position The position of DNI was created in accordance with a recommendation of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, more commonly known as the 9/11 Commission. In making its recommendation, the 9/11 Commission emphasized a need for a central coordinating authority among the then 16 component organizations of the IC to mitigate administrative and operational barriers, and promote the sharing of intelligence and information. Acting on the 9/11 Commission's recommendation, Congress created the position of the DNI through passage of the 2004 Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (P.L. 108-458, or IRTPA). The legislation also eliminated the position of the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI). The DCI position had been created by presidential letter in 1946 and formally established through the National Security Act of 1947 (P.L. 80-253). Through a triple-hatted arrangement, the DCI simultaneously served as community manager of the IC, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and chief intelligence advisor to the President. With the passage of IRTPA, the DNI assumed responsibility as manager of the IC and principal intelligence advisor to the President, leaving leadership of the CIA to the Director of the CIA.

James Clapper 20 1 7-present former Senator Daniel Coats Office of the DN The IRTPA also created an Office of the DNI (ODNI), an organization of approximately 1,500 IC professionals, including contractors, permanent government employees, and detailees from other IC agencies. The ODNI enables the DNI to facilitate integration of intelligence collection and analysis, information and intelligence sharing, and budgeting and execution across the other 16 IC components. The ODNI also includes the staff for the President's Daily Brief. In 2007, the establishment of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) enabled the DNI to leverage operational and R&D expertise to facilitate the transition of research results to the IC for operational application. In July 2018, the ODNI completed a reorganization aimed at optimizing: (1) integration of intelligence from across the IC; (2) allocation of National Intelligence Program (NIP) resources; (3) promotion of partner nation and private sector national security partnerships; and (4) development of a strategy for responding to emerging and future threats.
