"Programs Advance Effective Intelligence/Policy Links"
Belfer Center Newsletter
In 1986, when now Secretary of Defense Robert Gates was deputy director of Central Intelligence, he worked with Belfer Center Director (then Kennedy School Dean) Graham Allison and the School's Ernest May, Albert Carnesale, Joseph Nye, Peter Zimmerman, Nancy Huntington, and the late Richard Neustadt, among others, to establish an intelligence and policy program at the School. Gates, who had been a career analyst in the CIA with some tours of duty in the White House, had noticed a disconnect between the work of the intelligence and policy communities. The program he initiated, which continued at the Kennedy School until 2002, developed in-depth case studies to teach leaders in the intelligence community to think about needs of the policy community when gathering and analyzing intelligence.

Belfer Center Newsletter
Whether one agrees or disagrees with the wisdom of the civilian nuclear power agreement signed in December by President George W. Bush, most agree that the deal will deepen the long-standing relationship between the U.S. and India, a relationship that will continue to impact both countries on many levels. Along with the Kennedy School and Harvard, the Belfer Center is working to expand the relationship that began in 1960 when President John F. Kennedy named Harvard's John Kenneth Galbraith as ambassador to India.

Since September 11, 2001, the United States has been preoccupied by the federal role in preparedness against terror attacks and by ways to provide a quick fix through organizational overhauls. First to Arrive argues that the best way for America to prepare for terrorism is to listen to people in the field; those working on the ground can guide decisions at the top.
