The Central Intelligence Agency, or CIA, is the civilian foreign intelligence service of the federal government of the United States tasked with advancing national security through collecting and analyzing intelligence from around the world and conducting covert operations. The agency is headquartered in the George Bush Center for Intelligence in Langley, Virginia, and is sometimes just called "Langley". A major member of the United States Intelligence Community, the CIA reports to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, which is sometimes shortened to DNI. ODNI is focused on providing intelligence for the President and the Cabinet, though it also provides intelligence for a variety of other entities including the US Military and foreign allies.
