description: National Intelligence Estimates (NIEs) are often of considerable
 interest to many Members of Congress. NIEs address issues of major national
 security importance which may require congressional action. However, NIEs have
 occasionally proved unreliable because they were based on insufficient
 evidence or contained faulty analysis. This report explores this issue and
 discusses the NIE process and its relevance to congressional policymaking.
