The National
Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP) includes a variety of national-level
intelligence programs with budgets approved by the Director of Central
Intelligence (DCI) which are submitted to the President and Congress
as a single consolidated program. The NFIP provides funding for
those departments and agencies constituting the US Intelligence
Community, as defined in Executive Order 12333.
The Central
Intelligence Agency Program (CIAP) is the primary NFIP program
outside the DoD, which funds the activities of the CIA.
The DoD portion
of the National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP) primarily consists of two
programs:
The Consolidated
Cryptologic Program (CCP), overseen by the National Security Agency
(NSA) funds NSA's national-level cryptologic (SIGINT and COMSEC)
activities, along with the cryptologic components of the Army Intelligence
and Security Command (INSCOM) and the Air Intelligence Agency (AIA),
and the Naval Security Group Command.
The General
Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP), overseen by DIA, is the broadest
DoD NFIP program, which funds all national-level military intelligence
activities within the DoD not specifically covered by other NFIP
programs.
NFIP program
managers prepare annual budgets, which are subject to approval by
the DCI. DCI control of the NFIP
includes: approval of NFIP program budgets and their consolidation
in the annual NFIP budget submission; approval of reprogramming
requests; and reviews, audits, and evaluations of NFIP programs.
The Community Management Staff
includes a Resource Management Office which provides staff oversight
of the NFIP. The DCI consults with the Secretary of Defense, and
the CMS works with the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense
for Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (OASD/C3I),
to resolve issues related to NFIP programs and agencies outside
the NFIP.
