Progress in National Intelligence
William J. Casey
Director, Central
Intelligence Agency
CONGRATULATIONS to AFCEA on its 37th anniver-
sary. We have been working hard to rebuild our
nation's intelligence resources, being keenly aware of
our responsibility to provide timely, relevant informa-
tion to this country's leaders. Ultimately, our peace
depends on our anticipating problems around the
world and providing our national policy makers accu-
rate assessments so that they can devise effective
solutions before problems become crises.
We have paid particular attention to improving the
quality and timeliness of our analysis and I believe we
have made substantial progress. A new fast track ~
system now produces national estimates on a more
timely basis. Our estimates now contain a wider range
of judgments from within the intelligence community
in.order to reflect differing views and to insure stan-',I
dards of integrity and objectivity. We have created
new analytical centers at CIA that deal with technolo-
gy transfer, insurgency and political instability, and
international terrorism. These centers allow sharper;
focus on these critical problem areas and facilitate the
integration of political, economic and military analy-
sis. Today there are many places in the world where
political or economic destabilization has strategic im-
plications
for our government. We have targeted such li
areas and are keeping a close watch on events as they
unfold.
While we have made progress, we will not slacken
our efforts. Good intelligence that accurately assesses
the capabilities of our adversaries is an important
ingredient in getting the maximum value for each
defense dollar spent or invested. Thank you for the
opportunity to be a part of your anniversary and to
share some thoughts on our intelligence efforts. I wish
you and all the companies supporting AFCEA and our
national security continued success.
