(A) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of 
Congress that— 
(i) the assignment of executive agency 
for the National Center for Credibility As-
sessment to the Director of the Defense Intel-
ligence Agency may be limiting the ability 
of the Center to effectively serve the Federal 
customer base of the Center; 
(ii) the failure of the Director of Na-
tional Intelligence, in the role of the Direc-
tor as security executive for the Federal 
Government, to define in policy the term 
‘‘Executive Agent’’ may be further limiting 
the ability of the Center to receive sufficient 
resources to carry out the critical Federal 
mission of the Center; and 
(iii) the evolution of the Center from 
an organization of the Army to an organi-
zation serving 27 departments and agencies 
and responsible for all Federal credibility 
assessment training, oversight, and research 
and development, has resulted in a con-
voluted oversight structure based on legacy 
reporting requirements.
