They have been coordinated by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) since April 2005. From 1947 until then, by the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI). The DCI both coordinated the IC and headed the Central Intelligence Agency, but, after the creation of the DNI, the title changed to Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and was responsible for the CIA alone.
