national intelligence council

The National Intelligence Council (NIC) is the center for midterm and long-term strategic thinking within the United States Intelligence Community (IC). It was formed in 1979. According to its official website:

It leads the IC's effort to produce National Intelligence Estimates and other documents;
It supports (and reports to) the Director of Central Intelligence;
It serves as a focal point for policymaker's questions;
It contributes to the effort to allocate IC resources in response to policy changes; and
It communicates with experts in academia and the private sector to broaden the IC's perspective;

The NIC's goal is to provide policymakers with the best information: unvarnished, unbiased and without regard to whether the analytic judgments conform to current U.S. policy.
