Description

The Nat. Intelligence Council (NIC), composed of some 15 senior analysts and national security policy experts, provides the U.S. Intelligence Community’s best judgments on crucial international issues. NIC members are appointed by the Director of National Intelligence and routinely support his office and the National Security Council. Congress occasionally requests that the NIC prepare specific estimates and other analytical products that may be used during consideration of legislation. This Report describes the statutory provisions that authorize the NIC, provides a brief history of its work, and reviews its role within the Fed. Gov’t. The Report focuses on congressional interaction with the NIC and describes options for modifying congressional oversight.
