THE GENESIS OF
THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
The United States has carried on foreign intelligence activities since the days of
George Washington, but only since World War II have they been coordinated on a
government-wide basis.
Even before Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was concerned about
American intelligence deficiencies. He asked New York lawyer William J. Donovan
to draft a plan for an intelligence service. The Office of Strategic Services was
established in June 1942 with a mandate to collect and analyze strategic information
required by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and to conduct special operations not assigned to
other agencies.
During the War it supplied policymakers with essential facts and intelligence
estimates and often played an important role in directly aiding military campaigns.
But the OSS never received complete jurisdiction over all foreign intelligence
activities. Since the early 1930s the FBI had been responsible for intelligence work in
Latin America, and the military services protected their areas of responsibility.
In October 1945, the OSS was disbanded and its functions absorbed by the State
and War Departments. But the need for a postwar centralized intelligence system
was clearly recognized. Eleven months earlier, Donovan, by then a Major General,
had submitted to President Roosevelt a proposal calling for the separation of OSS
from the Joint Chiefs of Staff with the new organization having direct Presidential
supervision.
Donovan proposed an "organization which will procure intelligence both by overt
and covert methods and will at the same time provide intelligence guidance,
determine national intelligence objectives, and correlate the intelligence material
collected by all government agencies."
Under his plan, a powerful centralized agency would have coordinated all the
intelligence services. He also proposed that this agency have authority to conduct
"subversive operations abroad," but "no police or law enforcement functions, either
at home or abroad."
Donovan's plan drew heavy fire. The military services generally opposed a
complete merger. The State Department thought it should supervise all peacetime
operations affecting foreign relations. The FBI supported a system whereby military
intelligence worldwide would be handled by the armed services and all civilian
activities under its own jurisdiction.
In response to this policy debate, President Harry S. Truman established the
Central Intelligence Group in January 1946, directing it to coordinate existing
departmental intelligence, supplementing but not supplanting their services. This was
all to be done under the direction of the National Intelligence Authority composed of
a Presidential representative, and the Secretaries of State, War and Navy. Rear
Admiral Sidney W. Souers, USNR, who was the Deputy Chief of Naval Intelligence,
was appointed the first Director of Central Intelligence.
Twenty months later, the NIA and its operating component, the CIG, were
disestablished. Under the provisions of the National Security Act of 1947 (which
became effective on 18 September 1947) the National Security Council and the
Central Intelligence Agency were established.

Most of the statute's specific assignments given the CIA, as well as the
prohibitions on police and internal security functions, closely follow both the original
1944 Donovan plan and the Presidential directive creating the CIG.
The 1947 Act charged the CIA with coordinating the nation's intelligence
activities and correlating, evaluating and disseminating intelligence which affects
national security. In addition, the Agency was to perform such other duties and
functions related to intelligence as the NSC might direct. The Act also made the DCI
responsible for protecting intelligence sources and methods.
It was further stated that both the Director and the Deputy Director of Central
Intelligence were to be appointed by the President, subject to confirmation by the
Senate. An amendment of 4 April 1953 authorized such appointments to be made
either from individuals in civilian life or from commissioned officers of the armed
services, either in active or retired status, provided that "at no time shall the two
positions . . . be occupied simultaneously by commissioned officers."

Agency without regard to the restrictions placed on the initial appropriation. This Act
is the statutory authority for the secrecy of the Agency's budget.
In order to further protect intelligence sources and methods from disclosure, the
1949 Act exempted the CIA from having to disclose its "organization, functions,
names, officials, titles, salaries, or numbers of personnel employed."
Under these acts of Congress, the Director serves as the principal adviser to the
President and the National Security Council on all matters of foreign infelligence
related to the national security. CIA's responsibilities are carried out subject to
various directives and controls by the President and the NSC.
Today the CIA reports regularly to the Senate and House Select Committees on
Intelligence and the Senate and House Appropriations Committees.

DCI Area
The DCI Area consists of the Offices of the Director of Central Intelligence
(DCI), Deputy Director of Central Intelligence (DDCI), Executive Director, their
immediate staffs, and several independent offices.
The DCI is the primary foreign intelligence adviser to the President and the
National Security Council, the principal intelligence officer of the Government, and
the head of the Central Intelligence Agency. The DDCI is the DCI's principal
deputy; by law he acts for and exercises the powers of the DCI during his absence or
disability. The Executive Director is responsible for acting on behalf of the DCI and
the DDCI in the overall management of CIA. Although these offices are ordinarily
staffed by experienced personnel from within the Agency, some staff are recruited
externally by independent offices in the DCI Area and the History Staff in the
Executive Secretariat. Separate descriptions of opportunities in each of these offices
follow.
History Staff
Office of the Director
The CIA History Staff, in the Office of the Director of Central Intelligence, has
three principal objectives: to help preserve the Agency's historical records and
institutional memory, to provide a specialized reference service, and to research and
write the history of CIA. The Chief Historian is responsible to the Director of Central
Intelligence for developing and implementing the Agency's History Program.
The History Staff writes classified histories of CIA, its activities, development
and role in government. It is also CIA's principal point of contact for other U.S.
Government historical offices, especially those that need access to CIA records. As a
result of the CIA Information Act of 1984 the History Staff has an important role in
the Agency's new Historical Review Program, which reviews older records for
declassification and transfer to the National Archives. The History Staff is
responsible for liaison with the historical profession on this program, and for advising
on the selection of historically important records for declassification review.
The History Staff has a strength of four staff historians in addition to its Chief,
Deputy Chief and support personnel. Although these historians work principally on
extended historical studies, their duties also include a wide range of related work in
response to the needs of the Agency.

OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL
The General Counsel is responsible for counseling the Director of Central
Intelligence on all legal matters relating to his leading role within the Intelligence
Community and his duties as head of the CIA. The General Counsel also is
responsible for advising CIA employees on legal issues concerning the conduct of
Agency activities.
When the responsibilities of the General Counsel and his role in CIA activities
greatly expanded in the 1970's, so did the size of the Office of General Counsel.
Partially as a result of this large expansion and the relative rapidity with which it
took place, the attorneys in the Office are relatively young. The-majority-of-the
