My name is Paul Sikorski and I am a National Reconnaissance Director in NSA. The National Security Agency (NSA) is one of the most secret (and secretive) members of the U.S. intelligence community. The predecessor of NSA, the Armed Forces Security Agency (AFSA), was established within the Department of Defense, under the command of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on May 20, 1949. In theory, the AFSA was to direct the communications intelligence and electronic intelligence activities of the military service signals intelligence units (at the time consisting of the Army Security Agency, Naval Security Group, and Air Force Security Service). In practice, the AFSA had little power, its functions being defined in terms of activities not performed by the service units.
The creation of NSA resulted from a December 10, 1951, memo sent by Walter Bedell Smith to James B. Lay, Executive Secretary of the National Security Council. The memo observed that "control over, and coordination of, the collection and processing of Communications Intelligence had proved ineffective" and recommended a survey of communications intelligence activities. The proposal was approved on December 13, 1951, and the study authorized on December 28, 1951. The report was completed by June 13, 1952. Generally known as the "Brownell Committee Report," after committee chairman Herbert Brownell, it surveyed the history of U.S. communications intelligence activities and suggested the need for a much greater degree of coordination and direction at the national level. As the change in the security agency's name indicated, the role of the NSA was to extend beyond the armed forces.
That's all about the history of NSA. Now I will tell you about myself. When I first started to work in NSA I was employed as a general worker in different offices for 5 years. Later I've worked for 4 years as a assistant in Central Intelligence Agency. After this time I was promoted to a Secret Agent. This involved working in extremely hard conditions with dangerous people. After 6 years of hard work in Defense Intelligence Agency where I've been working as an Agent I got the position of National Reconnaissance Office Director. In this role I report directly to the NSA Director Michael Hayden. Now I am in charge of “Global Surveillance Network” alleged to intrude on the privacy of individuals across the world.
