The office is split into DCIA and DNI

As a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 , the 9/11 Commission Report recommended splitting the office of Director of Central Intelligence into the offices of Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and Director of National Intelligence (DNI) .
