205 7. Intelligence Community

“Address the threats to the United States and its allies in cyberspace. These threats range from cyberwarfare to information operations. The amended order should clearly delineate the roles and responsibilities of the various U.S. government cyber missions, including the recently created National Cyber Director’s Office and power centers at the NSC, while protecting the privacy and civil liberties of U.S. citizens.”

    No amendment of Executive Order 12333 exists. Federal Register full-text search for "Executive Order 12333" since 2025-01-20 returns six documents, all Privacy Act systems-of-records notices citing the order as collection authority; no presidential document since 2025-01-20 amends it, and none delineates cyber mission roles among the National Cyber Director's office, the NSC and the agencies. The one in-window cyber order, EO 14306 (2025-06-06), amends EO 13694 and EO 14144 and assigns no EO 12333 roles. Cluster negative search N1 (Executive Order 12333 and the DNI's authorities), recorded in docs/research/ch-07.md.

Research notes

  • The premise of this ask is the amended Executive Order 12333 that #528 tracks. It does not exist: the Federal Register API returns 0 presidential documents mentioning “Executive Order 12333” since 2025-01-20, and the six full-text hits across all document types are Privacy Act notices (2025-03-21, 2025-08-05, 2025-09-16, 2026-03-27 x2, 2026-07-01) that cite the order as authority to collect, not amendments.
  • Nearest in-window instrument, read and rejected: Executive Order 14306, “Sustaining Select Efforts To Strengthen the Nation’s Cybersecurity and Amending Executive Order 13694 and Executive Order 14144” (signed 2025-06-06, https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/06/11/2025-10804/sustaining-select-efforts-to-strengthen-the-nations-cybersecurity-and-amending-executive-order-13694). It is a cybersecurity order, not an intelligence order; it neither amends EO 12333 nor allocates cyber mission roles between the Office of the National Cyber Director, the NSC and the IC. Not Evidence on this ask.
  • Nothing in the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY2026 (P.L. 119-60, Division F) delineates cyber mission roles either; its only cyber-adjacent IC provisions are the AI sections (LXVI).
