Director of Central Intelligence Annual Report for the United States Intelligence Community, FY 1998

摘要

This report responds to the Congressional request for an annual report on the Intelligence Community. The Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997, Section 109 (as amended in 1996) of the National Security Act of 1947, directs the President to submit an unclassified report 'on the requirements of the United States for intelligence and the activities of the Intelligence Community.' In FY 1998, the Intelligence Community provided timely and useful intelligence to the policymaker, the diplomat, the warfighter and to the law enforcement community on many important issues. It supported the U.S. efforts in the former Yugoslavia with intelligence and personnel; provided real-time intelligence support on the Asian financial crisis; prevented terrorist attacks against U.S. installations; and helped identify key international organized crime figures.
