RELEVANT TO NFIP COMMUNITY POLICY ISSUES. BECAUSE OF THE BREADTH OF
RESPONSIBILITIES IN OA&E, EXTERNAL EXPERTISE IS NEEDED IN A WIDE VARIETY

THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY COORDINATION (0/CC)
ROVIDES THE FOCAL POINT FOR THE DCI AND DDCI IN
DEALING WITH THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY AND CONGRESS ON COMMUNITY
ISSUES. IT SUPPORTS THE ACTIVITIES OF COMMUNITY BOARDS, COUNCILS,
STAFFS, COMMITTEES, AND AD HOC GROUPS. FOR EXAMPLE, SECRETARIAT SUPPORT
FOR THE NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE BOARD, THE NATIONAL FOREIGN
INTELLIGENCE COUNCIL, AND THE INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
COUNCIL ARE ALL LOCATED IN THIS OFFICE. IN THE PAST YEAR THE DCI HAS
REACTIVATED THE NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE BOARD AND IS USING IT MORE
FREQUENTLY TO HELP HIM ADDRESS SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES. THE DIRECTOR OF THIS
OFFICE SERVES AS CHAIRMAN OF THE NEWLY OCI COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN
LANGUAGES. THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR CHAIRS THE DCI'S DCID 1/2 COMMITEE. OCC
