SEC. 3. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) The United States must maintain a strong,
capable, and increasingly flexible intelligence capabil-
ity to collect and analyze information concerning
world events that may threaten its security so as to
be in a position to anticipate and respond to such
events in an effective and timely manner.
(2) The existing framework for the conduct of
United States intelligence activities, established by the
National Security Act of 1947, has evolved largely
without changes to the original statutory framework,
but rather as a matter of Executive order and direc-
tive.
(3) Although the Director of Central Intelligence
has had an overall, coordinating role for United
States intelligence activities, under existing law and
by Executive order the Director has, in fact, lacked
sufficient authorities to exercise this responsibility ef-
fectively, leaving control largely decentralized within
elements of the Intelligence Community.
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are—
(1) to provide a corporate framework for the im-
proved management of United States intelligence ac-
tivities at all levels and within all intelligence dis-
ciplines;
(2) to provide an institutional structure that
will continue to ensure that the Intelligence Commu-
nity serves the needs of the Government as a whole in
an effective, timely, and corporate manner;
(3) to clarify by law the responsibilities of Unit-
ed States intelligence agencies; and
(4) to improve the congressional oversight of in-
telligence activities.
