Dundukov, M. Yu. The Place of Intelligent Agencies in the System of the USA State Authorities

Abstract: The present article describes the place of the USA intelligence service in the system of federal state authorities of the United States. The article views the differences in the legal status of numerous departments of intelligence service comprising the USA intelligence community. The author also describes the way these agencies are funded, managed and recruited. Special attention is paid at the comparison of the actual and legal statuses of intelligence services as parts of the intelligence community of the USA represented by one of the federal ministries, and intelligence agencies as autonomous elements of the American state (such as CIA or the Service of the Director of National Intelligence). In addition, the author of the article proves the supposition that despite obvious centralizing processes over the past decades, the USA intelligence community itself cannot be viewed as being independent from the federal executive branch of the USA government.

Keywords:

intelligence community, intelligence agency, intelligence program, national intelligence service, DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), state authority, federal agency, CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), National Security Agency.
