"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.

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.
