On December 14, 2005, President George W. Bush signed Executive Order 13392, Improving Agency Disclosure of Information. In accordance with the Executive Order, agencies were required to establish FOIA Requester Service Centers and identify FOIA Chief Public Liaisons.

On June 20, 2021, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) received full responsibility for the National Intelligence University. Due to this transfer of responsibility from DIA to ODNI, DIA no longer owns thesis records. The ODNI instructed the DIA to inform all requesters with thesis requests to submit their requests directly to ODNI for action. Therefore, the DIA is closing all open requests and not accepting any new requests for thesis or dissertations; including but not limited to the Joint Military Intelligence College or National Intelligence University. If you are interested in obtaining thesis records, please submit a FOIA request to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence either via email (dni-foia@dni.gov) or at the address below:
