The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is the United States government official – subject to the authority, direction, and control of the President – required by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 to: * Serve as principal advisor to the President, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council about intelligence matters related to national security; * Serve as head of the seventeen-member United States Intelligence Community; and * Direct and oversee the National Intelligence Program. Further, by Presidential policy directive signed in October 2012, the DNI was given overall responsibility for Intelligence Community whistleblowing and source protection through Presidential Policy Directive 19. Under , "under ordinary circumstances, it is desirable" that either the Director or the Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence be an active-duty commissioned officer in the armed forces or have training or experience in military intelligence activities and requirements. Only one of the two positions can be held by a military officer at any given time. The statute does not specify what rank the commissioned officer will hold during his or her tenure in either position, but historically a four-star general or admiral has served. On July 20, 2010, President Obama nominated retired Lt. Gen. James R. Clapper for the position. Clapper was confirmed by the Senate on August 5, 2010, and replaced acting Director David C. Gompert. The prior DNI was retired Navy four-star admiral Dennis C. Blair, whose resignation became effective May 28, 2010.〔Miller, Greg. (Dennis C. Blair to resign as director of national intelligence ), ''Washington Post''. Published May 21, 2010. Retrieved June 3, 2010.〕 On July 30, 2008, President Bush issued Executive Order 13470,〔(Executive Order 13470 )〕 amending Executive Order 12333 to strengthen the DNI's role.〔("Bush Orders Intelligence Overhaul", by Associated Press, July 31, 2008 )〕 ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Director of National Intelligence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
