I rise today to talk about the Defense Intelligence Agency and a resolution that Chairman Feinstein and I have introduced in honor of DIA's 50th Anniversary. The Defense Intelligence Agency is an integral part of the Department of Defense, our combatant commands, and the intelligence community. I want to congratulate the Agency and its employees on the approaching 50th Anniversary. The Defense Intelligence Agency was established in 1961 under Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara following a national debate on defense reorganization after World War II. McNamara, acting on recommendations of a Joint Study Group appointed by President Eisenhower, created the DIA to consolidate and integrate military intelligence efforts. DIA began operations on October 1, 1961 with only a handful of employees in borrowed office space in the Pentagon. Shortly after its inception, DIA was thrust into the Cold War where DIA's analysts played a key role in the discovery of ballistic missiles in Cuba.
