Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

Agency that evaluates and disseminates information affecting national security.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is an intelligence agency of the United States Government. Its primary function is obtaining and analyzing information about foreign governments, corporations, and individuals, and reporting such information to the various branches of the Government. A second function is overtly and covertly disseminating information, both true and false, that influence others to make decisions favorable to the United States Government. The second function is usually known as propaganda or public relations. A third function of the CIA is to act as the covert arm of the government by engaging in secret operations at the direction of the President.
