CIA REVIEW
The CIA was legislated into existence in 1947 via the National Security Act while Harry Truman was president. The primary purpose of the legislation was to centralize intelligence material gathered by U.S. intelligence agencies. This need was made obvious by the disaster at Pearl Harbor in 1941. The Pearl Harbor debacle resulted in 2,500 deaths, loss of many ships and aircraft, and allowed Japan to escalate the global conflict that resulted in tens of millions of deaths and atrocities.
