SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE REFORM2015 | ||
OVERVIEWOver the course of the past eighteen months, the United States has undertaken a comprehensive effort to examine and enhance the privacy and civil liberty protections we embed in our signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection activities. | ||
As part of this process, we have sought — and benefited from — a broad cross section of views, ideas, and recommendations from oversight bodies, advocacy organizations, private companies, and the general public. This effort has resulted in strengthened privacy and civil liberty protections; new limits on signals intelligence collection and use; and increased transparency. | ||
On January 17, 2014, President Obama signed Presidential Policy Directive-28, Signals Intelligence Activities (PPD-28) and delivered an address at the Department of Justice on the steps we are taking to reform certain intelligence activities. As we mark the one-year anniversary of these events, it is a good time to report on the status of a range of ongoing reform efforts. | ||
As this report shows, the Intelligence Community has made significant progress implementing many reforms. However, our work is not done. To that end, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence will issue another public report in 2016 about the Intelligence Community’s on-going progress to implement these reforms. | ||
