Hound,
-geeeeeeez Hound, you must have had a big staff. Everytime I put in a statement, you task me to do research on it. Please use this guy I know, Joe Google. He'll help you out immensely.
-but since I enjoy all your posts and in response to your request, here's some info on the Office of the DNI from its website:
"History of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence
Post-9/11 investigations included a joint Congressional inquiry and the independent National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (better known as the 9/11 Commission). The report of the 9/11 Commission in July 2004 proposed sweeping change in the Intelligence Community including the creation of a National Intelligence Director (NID). President Bush signed four Executive Orders in August 2004, which strengthened and reformed the Intelligence Community as much as possible without legislation. In Congress, both the House and Senate passed bills with major amendments to the National Security Act of 1947. Intense negotiations to reconcile the two bills ultimately led to the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), which President Bush signed into law on December 17. In February 2005, the President announced that John D. Negroponte, ambassador to Iraq, was his nominee to be the first Director of National Intelligence and Lt. Gen. Michael V. Hayden, USAF, as the first Principal Deputy DNI, which earned him his fourth star. On April 21, 2005, in the Oval Office, Amb. Negroponte and Gen. Hayden were sworn in, and the ODNI began operations at 7:00 AM on April 22."
NOTE from Yankee06: the two big points of this intell revampimg were: 1) the the head of the CIA was no longer also the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), i.e. also chief of the intell operations of all the other major government intell agencies. Prior to 2004 the CIA Director was dual-hatted. There was always a question of the DCI's impartiality when it came to conflicts between the CIA and the other agencies. 2) all the budget authorities of the 16 intell agencies now come under the approval of the DNI. The wording for this authority is a little murky, but because of the spirit of cooperation of the time (several years post9/11) the Sec Def agreed to the DNI overseeing and "approving" intell budgets of Deptartment of Defense intell agencies like National Security Agency, Defense Intell Agency, military Service agencies, the Natioanl Reconn Office (jointly run by CIA and the DoD. The DNI still seems to be wielding control over these budgets, ...and in D.C. budget is power.
