The Director of National Intelligence shall assign the Chief of the Analytic Integrity and Standards Group, in consultation with the Senior Analytic Service at the Central Intelligence Agency, to conduct a review of finished intelligence products produced by the Central Intelligence Agency to assess whether the reorganization of the Agency, announced publicly on March 6, 2015, has resulted in any loss of analytic objectivity. Not later than March 6, 2017, the Director of National Intelligence shall submit to the congressional intelligence committees, in writing, the results of the review required under subsection (a), including— an assessment comparing a representative sample of finished intelligence products produced by the Central Intelligence Agency before the reorganization and a representative sample of such finished intelligence products produced after the reorganization, with a focus on the analytic standard of objectivity; an assessment comparing the historical results of anonymous surveys of Central Intelligence Agency analysts and customers conducted before the reorganization and the results of such anonymous surveys conducted after the reorganization, with a focus on the analytic standard of objectivity; a metrics-based evaluation measuring the effect that the reorganization’s integration of operational, analytic, support, technical, and digital personnel and capabilities into Mission Centers has had on analytic objectivity; and any recommendations for ensuring that Central Intelligence Agency analysts perform their functions with objectivity, are not unduly constrained, and are not influenced by the force of preference for a particular policy.
