Plan to reorganize CIA and top intelligence units
The proposal would split the CIA into three new agencies for Operations Intelligence and Science and Technology, each reporting to its own assistant national intelligence director. NSA and NGA would move from the Pentagon to direct control under the collection director. DIA human intelligence would form a separate agency reporting to the collection director, while the NRO would fall under the research and development director.
