Join the Intelligence Project as David Priess gives a rare window into America's most unique contribution to the practice of intelligence: the production and delivery of the most exclusive daily newspaper in the world, the President’s Daily Brief.
Telling tales from his own time at CIA and the experiences of the former Presidents, Vice Presidents, CIA Directors, and other senior policymakers that he worked with or has interviewed, Priess will bring more than 60 years of history-changing analysis alive by describing how the CIA (and, more recently, the ODNI) has tailored delivery of its daily intelligence report to each President’s personal style and preferences. The best and the worst of White House-intelligence interactions illuminate enduring best practices for intelligence officers trying to learn and effectively meet senior policymakers' needs.
This seminar is in person only and is open to Harvard students, fellows, faculty, and staff. The conversation will be on the record and will be moderated by Intelligence Project Assistant Director Calder Walton. Refreshments will be served. Registration is required and will be open to the first 30 to register.
Please note that the event has hit capacity and registration is now closed.
