>A dig on [888-3737-888] unearthed [Bureau of Intelligence and Research]. Created 5 months before the C_A.

>STATE MAGAZINE | JANUARY 2008

"The Bureau of Intelligence and Research just finished celebrating its 60th anniversary as the nation’s oldest civilian intelligence organization. A direct descendant of General “Wild Bill” Donovan’s Office of Strategic Services, which gained renown during World War II, INR arose from the OSS’s large, respected Research and Analysis Branch, which was transferred to the State Department when the OSS was disbanded. INR began permanent operation in early 1947—five months before the creation of the CIA. The bureau provides policymakers the best possible information and analysis on a timely basis, coordinates intelligence operations on behalf of the Department and enables U.S. diplomats to identify threats and opportunities. With its mix of Civil Service and Foreign Service analysts, INR’s depth of knowledge is unmatched in the intelligence community. INR analysts average about 12 years of experience on their accounts. Known for questioning the prevailing wisdom and for demanding facts, INR has made impressive and timely contributions to foreign policy. An INR analyst, for example, prepared President Kennedy for his first television interview after the Cuban missile crisis. During the Vietnam era, INR courageously stuck to its analysis of events on the ground, despite powerful challenges. More recently, a famous INR footnote on a National Intelligence Estimate was lauded by a congressional commission."

The Bureau of Intelligence and Research is part of the U.S. Intelligence Community. The current number of employees and its budget are classified.
