Good afternoon, everyone. On behalf of all my colleagues, i want to welcome you to todays event, the president s daily brief, delivering intelligence to president s nixon and ford.

Events like this take a lot of work and i want to acknowledge the efforts of the cia officers who reviewed and declassified these 28,000 pages over the last year.

E event since we are very fortunate once again to have two people with us who probably know more about the daily brief than anybody i can think of. That is the director of the cia, torn brennan, and dinnerec of National Intelligence, jim clyburn. Director clapper has instituted intelligence transparency council. It fits nicely with the goals of that counsel. Events like today would
