SEC. 911. SHORT TITLE.

and Mapping Agency Act of 1996’’.
SEC. 912. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
289
HR 3230 EAS
(1) There is a need within the Department of
Defense and the Intelligence Community of the United
States to provide a single agency focus for the grow-
ing number and diverse types of customers for im-
agery and geospatial information resources within the
Government, to ensure visibility and accountability
for those resources, and to harness, leverage, and focus
rapid technological developments to serve the imagery,
imagery intelligence, and geospatial information cus-
tomers.
(2) There is a need for a single Government
agency to solicit and advocate the needs of that grow-
ing and diverse pool of customers.
(3) A single combat support agency dedicated to
imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial infor-
mation could act as a focal point for support of all
imagery intelligence and geospatial information cus-
tomers, including customers in the Department of De-
fense, the Intelligence Community, and related agen-
cies outside of the Department of Defense.
(4) Such an agency would best serve the needs of
the imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial in-
formation customers if it were organized—
(A) to carry out its mission responsibilities
under the authority, direction, and control of the
290
HR 3230 EAS
Secretary of Defense, with the advice of the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and
(B) to carry out its responsibilities to na-
tional intelligence customers in accordance with
policies and priorities established by the Director
of Central Intelligence.
