Federal resources at your fingertips!

I was moseying around President-elect Obama's new website (www.change.gov) and followed a link to a transition team website that contained links to the entire structure of the federal government. Neat! It lists the top positions and who holds them, when they were established, what their mission is, and more. Did you know, for example, that the federal Department of Energy has an Intelligence and Counterintelligence office? Here's a quote:

"Intelligence and Counterintelligence
The Office of Intelligence and
Counterintelligence ensures that all
departmental intelligence information
requirements are met and that the
Department’s technical, analytical, and
research expertise is made available to
support U.S. intelligence efforts. The
Office develops and implements
programs to identify, neutralize, and
deter foreign government or industrial
intelligence activities directed at or
involving Department programs,
personnel, facilities, technologies,
classified information, and sensitive
information. The Office ensures effective
use of the U.S. Government’s
intelligence apparatus in support of
DOE’s need for information on foreign
energy situations and hostile threats,
information on global nuclear weapons
development, nonproliferation, and
foreign hydrocarbon, nuclear, and other
energy production and consumption.
The Office formulates all DOE
intelligence and counterintelligence
policy and coordinates all investigative
matters with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
For further information, contact the Office of
Intelligence and Counterintelligence. Phone, 202–
586–2610."

This is good stuff, people!
