      "title": "Intelligence Reform at the Department of Energy: Policy Issues and Organizational Alternatives",
      "summary": "After the repeated urging of the Department of Energy (DOE), Congress in 2006 agreed to temporarily consolidate separate counterintelligence (CI) offices at the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) into a single CI office under DOE control. The Senate version of the FY2010 National Defense Authorization Bill contains language that would make the consolidation permanent. DOE had complained that the dual office structure was ineffective. In permitting DOE to consolidate the two offices, Congress reversed its 1999 authorization to establish a separate NNSA CI office\u2014a decision that at the time was prompted by congressional concerns over repeated departmental security and counterintelligence lapses.\nAt the same time, in 2006, DOE combined its separate Offices of Intelligence, and Counterintelligence into a new DOE office called the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence. The Department reasoned that combining the disciplines of counterintelligence and foreign intelligence under one integrated office would foster synergistic cooperation that would lead to a more strategic and ultimately more effective counterintelligence program.\nThis report analyzes both consolidations\u2014the first authorized by Congress at DOE\u2019s request; the second initiated by DOE\u2014and examines the impact of each on the effectiveness of the Department\u2019s CI program. A major oversight issue for Congress is whether either, or both, organizational changes will strengthen the Department\u2019s CI program as intended. Some observers are concerned that the two consolidations may have undercut CI capabilities.\nCongress could maintain the status quo or choose from several alternative organizational approaches, some of which continue to be discussed despite the most recent organizational changes to the Department\u2019s CI program. Such alternatives range from maintaining the consolidated DOE/NNSA CI office but reversing DOE\u2019s decision to combine its formerly independent offices of foreign intelligence and counterintelligence, to eliminating both consolidations.\nCongress also could exercise several oversight options, ranging from conducting classified CI briefings to commissioning a formal assessment of DOE\u2019s current CI reorganization.",
