| abstract
| - The Director of National Intelligence (DNI), in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, serves as the head of the Intelligence Community (IC). The DNI also acts as the principal advisor to the President; the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council for intelligence matters related to national security; and oversees and directs the implementation of the National Intelligence Program. The DNI is intended to establish the intelligence community’s priorities with clear and measurable goals and objectives as well as provide leadership on cross-cutting intelligence community issues. The DNI is the Chairman of the National Foreign Intelligence Board and issues instructions in the form of Director of Central Intelligence Directives (DCID) or Director of Central Intelligence Policy statements affecting intelligence policies and activities. The DNI is charged by statute with protecting intelligence sources and methods from unauthorized access. The President appoints the DNI with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Director is assisted by a Senate-confirmed Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence (PDDNI), appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The DNI coordinates intelligence matters related to the Department of Defense (DoD) with the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)). This individual serves as the Principal Staff Assistant and advisor to the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense on all intelligence, counterintelligence and security, and other intelligence-related matters. The USD(I) provides oversight and policy guidance for all DoD intelligence activities.
- The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is the United States government official – subject to the authority, direction, and control of the President – required by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 to:
* Serve as principal advisor to the President, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council about intelligence matters related to national security;
* Serve as head of the sixteen-member Intelligence Community; and
* Direct and oversee the National Intelligence Program. Further, by Presidential policy directive signed in October 2012, the DNI was given overall responsibility for Intelligence community whistleblowing and source protection through Presidential Policy Directive 19. Under 50 U.S.C. § 403-3a, either the Director or the Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence should be an active-duty commissioned officer in the armed forces or have training or experience in military intelligence activities and requirements. Only one of the two positions can be held by a military officer at any given time. The statute does not specify what rank the commissioned officer will hold during his or her tenure in either position, but historically a four-star general or admiral has served. On July 20, 2010, President Obama nominated retired Lt. Gen. James R. Clapper for the position. Clapper was confirmed by the Senate on August 5, 2010, and replaced acting Director David C. Gompert. The prior DNI was retired Navy four-star admiral Dennis C. Blair, whose resignation became effective May 28, 2010. On July 30, 2008, President Bush issued Executive Order 13470 amending Executive Order 12333 to strengthen the DNI's role.
