<ref name=Law>
The ''Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004'' (Public Law 108-458) was created because of the perception that the various U.S. Intelligence agencies had not shared information adequately to prevent the 2001 [[9-11 Attack]], even though enough information likely existed in various pockets here and there to have understood the threat.  The new law also moved some community-related functions from the CIA to the ODNI, and specified that the Director and Principal Deputy Director of the new agency cannot both be active-duty military officers (i.e., one or the other should be a military intelligence officer, usually of four-star rank, or have extensive experience in military intelligence).

The 2004 law establishing the ODNI left the Department of Defense in charge of the budget for the [[National Security Agency]], the [[National Reconnaissance Office]], and the [[National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency]].
