A high-level presidential commission plans to recommend that the Pentagon's 
three largest intelligence-collection agencies be transferred to the 
director of central intelligence in a major restructuring of the 
intelligence community, according to sources familiar with the panel's 
findings.
Under the proposal, the National Reconnaissance Office, which develops, 
builds and manages intelligence satellite systems, the National Imagery and 
Mapping Agency, which handles imagery intelligence systems and mapping, and 
the National Security Agency, which is responsible for electronic 
intercepts, would each come under the control of the CIA director.
