experience who would benefit from an in-depth survey
of the intelligence process (collection analysis and

knowledgeable about various facets of the production
of finished intelligence: requirements; sources of
intelligence information; processing and storage of
intelligence information; analysis, interpretation,
and presentation of the finished product.
2. To explain the role of CIA in the intelligence
production cycle and the relationships of the Agency
with other components of the intelligence community.
3. To afford opportunity for limited orientation
to certain new methodologies in the analysis of intelli-
gence information, including the use of the computer.
4. To help the student understand the role and
significance of foreign intelligence support to national
security decision-making at the Federal level.
