The study addresses fundamental problems of the intelligence community, including the relationship between intelligence analysis and policymaking, resource management, and the conduct of clandestine operations. The commission's program of analytical studies on intelligence was developed by William R. Harris. The studies were designed to address the relationship between intelligence analysis and policymaking, with emphasis on the different perspectives of intelligence producers and consumers. The studies also examined resource management, future needs for intelligence support, and the conduct of clandestine operations. The commission's report on intelligence functions and policymaking in an institutional context is a key component of its overall report. The report examines the role of intelligence in the policymaking process, including the structure and production of the intelligence community, the role of intelligence in the policymaking process, and key issues in the intelligence-policymaking relationship. The commission's study on intelligence resource management is a critical component of its overall report. The study examines the background of intelligence resource management, including the Schlesinger Report and the consolidated intelligence community budget. The study also examines principal issues in intelligence resource management, including the role of the DCI vis-a-vis the DOD, multi-year programming and budgeting, and the growing importance of economic intelligence. The commission's report on clandestine operations is a key component of its overall report. The report examines the definition of terms related to clandestine operations, including covert action and clandestine activity. The report also examines the pros and cons of maintaining a capability for covert action, including the risks of exposure and the need for follow-up action. The commission's study on clandestine operations also examines other clandestine activity, including the use of intelligence assets and the conduct of clandestine operations in support of foreign policy objectives. The study concludes that the United States should maintain a capability for covert action, but that such action should be carefully considered and subject to strict oversight and control.
