ODNI Features
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) today released the Annual Statistical Transparency Report (ASTR) Regarding the Intelligence Community’s (IC) Use of National Security Surveillance Authorities for Calendar Year 2023. The report, published every year since 2014, provides the public with statistics and context regarding the government’s use of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act authorities, National Security Letters, and other national security authorities.
Intelligence Community engagement with the private sector is a priority focus area for the ODNI. This feature is organized to help private sector partners navigate the ODNI.
We are living in paradox - industrial and information age achievements are shaping a world both more dangerous and richer with opportunity. Human choices will determine whether promise or peril prevails. Global Trends is the Intelligence Community’s major assessment of the forces - and choices - shaping the world over the next two decades.
The ODNI is committed to increasing openness within the government and with the American people, as prescribed in the Jan. 21, 2009, White House Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government. Therefore the ODNI will continue to make every effort to increase transparency, while also protecting classified and sensitive national security information and intelligence sources and methods from unauthorized disclosures.
In the weeks following the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan by United States forces, U.S. Intelligence Community analysts sifted through the recovered digital and hard copy materials in search of clues that would reveal ongoing al-Qa`ida plots, identities and locations of al-Qa`ida personnel, and other information of immediate importance. Following a rigorous interagency review, on May 20, 2015 the ODNI began a multi-stage public release of documents recovered from the compound used to hide Osama bin Laden.
