History

In 1961, the Department established its first foreign intelligence capability, the Office of National Security, which
was charged by Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon to connect the Treasury Department with
the broader efforts of the National Security Council. In 1977, ONS was overhauled and
renamed the Office of Intelligence Support by Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal
and Treasury's place in the U.S. Intelligence Community formalized on December 4th
1981, under Executive Order 12333, United States Intelligence Activities, by President Ronald
Reagan. Finally, in late 2003, Treasury's intelligence mission and needs were recognized in the
Intelligence Authorization Act of 2004, which established OIA.
