Part 1:
Briefly explain what you consider the single most important specific financial management authority that the DNI can exercise during Budget Execution (Reference Donovan’s Memo)
Part 2:
Imagine that you still work for your assigned Senator (Marco Rubio) who tonight is on yet another televised “town hall”. This time the panel includes a vocal critic of Intelligence who has written that recent failures are symptoms of an overly bureaucratized, unresponsive, inefficient, risk adverse IC- in part the consequence of “Oversight Overkill.”
The Senator tasks you to draft a few pithy remarks that would either refute or mitigate the indictment of oversight overkill along with one specific change the Senator might suggest would improve the reality (or at least the perception of the critic) of IC oversight.
