¶1. (S/NF) This cable provides the full text of the new

National HUMINT Collection Directive (NHCD) on the United

Nations (paragraph 3-end) as well as a request for continued

DOS reporting of biographic information relating to the

United Nations (paragraph 2).

¶A. (S/NF) The NHCD below supercedes the 2004 NHCD and

reflects the results of a recent Washington review of

reporting and collection needs focused on the United Nations.

The review produced a comprehensive list of strategic

priorities (paragraph 3) and reporting and collection needs

(paragraph 4) intended to guide participating USG agencies as

they allocate resources and update plans to collect

information on the United Nations. The priorities should

also serve as a useful tool to help the Embassy manage

reporting and collection, including formulation of Mission

Strategic Plans (MSPs).

¶B. (S/NF) This NHCD is compliant with the National

Intelligence Priorities Framework (NIPF), which was

established in response to NSPD-26 of February 24, 2003. If

needed, GRPO can provide further background on the NIPF and

the use of NIPF abbreviations (shown in parentheses following

each sub-issue below) in NHCDs.

¶C. (S/NF) Important information often is available to

non-State members of the Country Team whose agencies

participated in the review of this National HUMINT Collection

Directive. COMs, DCMs, and State reporting officers can

assist by coordinating with other Country Team members to

encourage relevant reporting through their own or State

Department channels.

¶2. (S/NF) State biographic reporting:

¶A. (S/NF) The intelligence community relies on State

reporting officers for much of the biographical information

collected worldwide. Informal biographic reporting via email

and other means is vital to the community's collection

efforts and can be sent to the INR/B (Biographic) office for

dissemination to the IC.

¶B. (S/NF) Reporting officers should include as much of the

following information as possible when they have information

relating to persons linked to : office and
