Information About

National Intelligence Council





The NIC's goal is to provide policymakers with the best information: unvarnished, unbiased and without regard to whether the analytic judgments conform to current U.S. policy.

One of the NICs most important analytical projects is a Global Briefing. Produced every five years, the Global Briefing assesses critical drivers and scenarios for future global outcomes over a 15 year time horizon. The Global Briefing provides a basis for long-rang strategic policy assessment for the White House and the intelligence community. The NICs most recent Global Briefing, Mapping the Global Future: 2020 was released in 2005.
