Assignment of Reporting Functions Relating to the 
                Information Sharing Environment

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State[,] the Secretary 
                of Defense[,] the Attorney General[,] the Secretary of 
                Energy[,] the Secretary of Homeland Security[, and] the 
                Director of National Intelligence

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and laws of the United States, including 
                section 301 of title 3, United States Code, the 
                reporting functions of the President under subsections 
                (h) and (j) of section 1016 of the Intelligence Reform 
                and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-
                458), as amended by the Implementing Recommendations of 
                the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-53) 
                (IRTPA), are hereby assigned to the Director of 
                National Intelligence (Director). The Director shall 
                consult the Secretaries of State, Defense, Energy, 
                Homeland Security, and the Attorney General in 
                performing such functions.

                Heads of departments and agencies shall, to the extent 
                permitted by law, furnish to the Director information 
                that the Director requests to perform such functions, 
                in the format and on the schedule specified by the 
                Director.

                The Director shall perform such functions in a manner 
                consistent with the President's constitutional 
                authority to withhold information the disclosure of 
                which could impair foreign relations, national 
                security, the deliberative processes of the Executive, 
                and the performance of the Executive's constitutional 
                duties.

                Any reference in this memorandum to the provision of 
                IRTPA shall be deemed to include references to any 
                hereafter-enacted provision of law that is the same or 
                substantially the same as such provision.
