U.S. Intelligence is an essential instrument of national power and perhaps has never been more powerful than today given advances in technology. With that power comes great responsibility.

What capabilities must we invest in today to ensure the health of US Intelligence today and in the future?
As you contemplate your legacy as DNI, what work remains unfinished and what advice do you have for your successor?
