Refers to an "environment characterized by escalating consumer needs and generally declining resources ... [and to an] international security environment marked by diverse regional crises and contingencies.... [DIA] will lose nearly 1,000 billets by [FY 1997]. Throughout the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) ... cuts will approach 5,000 billets by FY 1997 ... [The DIA has] recently completed the most profound reorganization in [its] 32-year history.... [It has] shifted ... analytic orientation from a regional to a functional basis ... [and] will be dependent on the Service production organizations and the JICs for substantial military intelligence production."

According to WIR 13.2, this is the story of a man (Lester Coleman) who claims he was on a mission for "the world's most secretive and well-funded espionage organization--the Defense Intelligence Agency" which eventually involved the Pan Am explosion over Lockerbie.
Clark comment: Is this fiction? Obviously, the 1993 title was deemed misdirected for maximum impact, so we see an adjustment in 1995 to the agencies then catching some heat.

The man expected to be named as the next undersecretary of defense for intelligence, retired U.S. Air Force Gen. James Clapper, "instituted a controversial and ultimately failed reorganization at the Defense Intelligence Agency when he led it in the 1990's."
More recently, "Clapper left his post as head of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency" in June 2006, "several months earlier than he had wanted, after clashing with [Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld over his support for the idea that the ... Director of National Intelligence ... should have authority over the five major U.S. intelligence agencies inside the Department of Defense....
"Retired Army Col. Pat Lang, who was a senior official at the agency at the time, and left after clashing with Clapper over the reorganization, called it disastrous ... extremely destructive.'" Lang added that "Clapper 'had no interest whatsoever in the (agency's) national-level role in developing strategic intelligence for policy-makers.'" Instead, he "organized analysts 'strictly to support the military-technical side of things,' like assessing the capabilities of weapons systems."
