Office of Intelligence

Overview
The U.S. Department of Justice, National Security Division's Office of Intelligence (successor to the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review (OIPR)) has grown dramatically in an effort to ensure: that Intelligence Community agencies have the legal authorities necessary to conduct intelligence operations, particularly operations involving the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA); that the office exercises meaningful oversight over various national security activities of Intelligence Community agencies; and that it can play an effective role in FISA-related litigation.
