DIRECTOR'S DAILY JOURNAL
Date
The Executive Secretariat prepares a daily Journal containing a synopsis
of the DCI's correspondence. The following individuals receive copies:
The DCI, DDCI, SC/DCI, the four Deputy Directors, the Deputy to the DCI
for the Intelligence Community, the Deputy for National Intelligence
Officers, the Comptroller, Inspector General, General Counsel, C/Review
Staff, and the Legislative Counsel. The mail is divided into incoming
correspondence, outgoing answers, internal CIA memoranda, and a sensitive
annex. In addition to providing a short narrative on each piece of
correspondence, the Journal also includes an explanation of what staffing
actions have been taken.
Incoming correspondence includes all material originating outside CIA. It
can vary as widely as a letter from a Congressman requesting a briefing
to the feelings of the D/DIA about a particular project. Since most incoming
papers go directly to the Executive Secretariat for screening and staffing,
the DCI can quickly check the Journal to see the extent of any new business
and who has the responsibility to draft the appropriate reply.
Outgoing correspondence usually includes papers prepared for the DCI's
signature concerning answers to specific questions, instructions, or
concurrences. Items that fall into this category can involve a reply to
a suggestion from the Secretary of Defense, guidance to D/NSA, or an answer
to a Senator.
Internal memoranda are in-house correspondence and can vary in their subject
matter from Agency guidelines on the use of the Executive Dining Room to
final preparations of a coordinated CIA input to a White House study. The
internal section also includes short notes the DCI may attach to memos to
staff members offering suggestions or requesting further information on
problems.
