Agency's intelligence information collection program or as an adjunct to
intelligence research and analysis. These professionals apply publishing

and punctuation in producing and archiving publications in both hardcopy and
electronic formats. Products are disseminated internally and to policymakers
throughout the federal government, including the President of the United States.
Minimum requirements include a bachelor's
degree in English, journalism, communications, or a related field. Candidates
must be detail-oriented and able to work effectively in a fast-paced teamwork
