"Every day, the president gets what's called a Daily Brief from the CIA. The brief is a short summary of all the most important things going on in the world, including the top secret stuff the CIA is involved in.

 

The Daily Brief is a tradition that goes back to John F. Kennedy. The briefs given to Kennedy — and to Lyndon B. Johnson — were recently declassified and published on Wednesday.

 

They're full of fascinating stuff, including details of the Cuban missile crisis and the Vietnam War, and countless lesser events.

 

For example, on October 30, 1962 — at the height of the missile crisis — the agency reported that the latest aerial surveillance photos, taken the day before, were inconclusive. They could not confirm the Russian claim to have started withdrawing their missiles. In other words, we’re looking at the latest, real-time intelligence hitting the president’s desk at the time.

 

Kennedy ordered the CIA to start the brief in the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs crisis, in which Kennedy felt he was not getting a coordinated, consistent briefing. The Agency’s Office of Current Intelligence leapt at the chance to distill their best information into what was initially known as the President’s Intelligence Checklist, or PICL. The office became known as the pickle factory."
