The DI’s flagship product is its
daily publication, the CIA World Intelligence Review (WIRe). The DI also
contributes to the President’s Daily Brief (PDB), an Intelligence Community
daily product, coordinated by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI)
staff. Because information in these two publications is extremely sensitive,
they are highly classified and are provided only to a restricted readership.
Both the WIRe and the PDB offer analysis that helps policy and security
officials work through the core issues in the broader US policy agenda.
- The WIRe is an electronic
publication aimed at senior policy and security officials throughout the
US Government. Many items from the
WIRe are available to major US military commands.
- The PDB
compiles the Intelligence Community’s highest level intelligence analysis
targeted at the key national security issues and concerns of the
President. The PDB is given only to the President, the Vice President, and
a very select group of Cabinet-level officials designated by the
President.
In
addition to preparing articles for the WIRe and the PDB, DI analysts frequently
draft memos to respond to the specific questions of individual policymakers or
to support upcoming meetings on key policy issues. Analysts also research their
areas of specialty to anticipate future challenges, problems, and opportunities
for US security interests, sharing their findings through classified
publications and oral briefings.
The DI publishes unclassified reference aids that are available to the public.
The annual World
Factbook is a comprehensive compendium of profiles on more than 260
countries and other entities. Information on geographic, political,
demographic, economic, and military issues is included. Chiefs of
State and Cabinet Ministers of Foreign Governments is a directory of
foreign government officials.
