History[]
In 1961, the Treasury Department established a foreign intelligence capability, the Office of National Security (ONS), and charged by Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon to connect the Treasury Department with the broader efforts of the National Security Council. In 1977, ONS was overhauled and renamed the by Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal. The present office was renamed the Office of Intelligence and Analysis in 2004.
Treasury formally became a member of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) pursuant to Executive Order 12333, United States Intelligence Activities, signed by President Ronald Reagan on December 4, 1981. Finally, in late 2003, the Intelligence Authorization Act of 2004 (31 U.S.C. sec. 312) established the OIA.[4]
