Presidential Memorandum on the Delegation of Authorities under Section 1245 of the National Defence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 was dropped.
The NDAA Act is currently in limbo according to https:// www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/430/all-info.
Section 1245 of NDAA states that Congress declares Russia in violation of the INF (intermediate nuclear forces) Treaty, and gives various time frames for the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) as well as the POTUS to make assessments and notifications to appropriate Congressional Committees.
Memorandum delegates authority to Sec of State, incoordination with, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the DNI.
So basically it looks like POTUS took Authority away from the DNI and gave it to the SoS, on a very stalled bill.
DNI is currently Dan Coats
Picked by Trump, he was a Senator from Indiana and been in Congress 1981-1989 (house), 1989-1999 & 2011-2017 (Senate) and Ambassador to Germany from 2001-2005, arriving only three days before the Sept. 11 attacks.

[Democrats have been quick to attack Coats as a lobbyist who has done the bidding of the fattest fat cats. But, ironically, the policies Coats advanced on behalf of his corporate clients are the same bailouts, regulations, and overspending that President Obama has championed in the name of "change." And Coats' biggest clients – Google and the Pharmaceutical Researchers and Manufacturers of America – have been intimate Obama allies.]
