I vertainly don't feel that one person should have the control of the budget. Their should be one person or agency who coralates the information from the other intl gathering agencies,

They should have a budget of their own. The Strategic Intel Agencey should be very small but be seperate from the other's. Strategic Intel would direct the other agency where they should or need them to place their emphasis.

These are to work hand in glove, with The Strategic Intel directing resources and advising the President.

The control of the funding should remain as it is.

I believe having one person control an agency that decides what intel will be deemed relevant places too much power in that individual. I would favor A board of three individuals, each appointed by A branch of the government. ( Executive, Legislative and Judicial ) This way one individual would not have total control over intel and the product itself might be better for it.
