The Central Intelligence Agency collects, evaluates, and disseminates vital
information on political, military, economic, scientific, and other developments
abroad needed to safeguard national security.
The Central Intelligence Agency was
established by the National Security Act
of 1947, as amended (50 U.S.C. 401 et
seq.). It now functions under that statute,
Executive Order 12333 of December 4,
1981, the Intelligence Reform and
Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (50
U.S.C. 401 note), and other laws,
Executive orders, regulations, and
directives.
The Central Intelligence Agency is
headed by a Director, who is appointed
by the President with the advice and
consent of the Senate.
The Central Intelligence Agency does
the following:
collects intelligence through human
sources and by other appropriate means,
except that the Central Intelligence
Agency exercises no police, subpoena,
or law enforcement powers or internal
security functions;
correlates and evaluates intelligence
related to national security and provides
appropriate dissemination of such
intelligence;
provides overall direction for and
coordination of the collection of national
intelligence outside the United States
through human sources by elements of
the Intelligence Community authorized
to undertake such collection. In
coordination with other departments,
agencies, or elements of the United
States Government authorized to
undertake such human source collection,
ensures that the most effective use is
made of resources and that appropriate
account is taken of the risks to the
United States and those involved in such
collection;
performs such other functions and
duties related to intelligence affecting
national security as the President or the
Director of National Intelligence may
direct; and
under the direction of the Director
of National Intelligence and in a manner
consistent with section 207 of the
Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C.
3927), coordinate the relationships
between elements of the Intelligence
Community and the intelligence or
security services of foreign governments
or international organizations on all
matters involving intelligence related to
national security or involving
intelligence acquired through clandestine
means.
