Task the PIAB and Intelligence Oversight Board with long-term national security advice
Printed page 229 7. Intelligence Community
“These entities should be tasked with giving independent, informed advice and opinion concerning major matters of national security focused on long-term, enduring issues central to advancing and protecting American interests.”
What has happened
- Partially done
The President's Intelligence Advisory Board was reconstituted with thirteen named appointees and a chair, and the announcement tasks them: they "will advise the President on our nation's most important security challenges and ensure that the Intelligence Community is working to advance the President's America First agenda". One of the Quote's two bodies is therefore standing and tasked with advice on major national security matters. `partial` and not `done` because the Intelligence Oversight Board — the PIAB subcommittee the Quote names alongside it — is not mentioned, and the tasking is framed around advancing the President's agenda rather than the independent, long-term, enduring focus the Quote asks for.

Research notes
- Two-object ask, one object delivered, so partial.
- Boundary call: anyone who reads “independent, informed advice … focused on long-term, enduring issues” as the substance of the ask, rather than the existence of a tasked board, would hold this at not started, because the announcement’s stated purpose is the opposite of independence.
