Office of National Narcotics Intelligence
The Office of National Narcotics Intelligence was a United States' federal law enforcement agency under the Justice Department, founded in August 1972 by order of President Richard M. Nixon. It analyzed illegal drug use and was tasked to develop a National Narcotics Intelligence System, conducting analysis only with no operational responsibilities. Liaisons were established with the CIA and NSA. The agency was headed by former FBI Assistant to the Director William C. Sullivan until the ONNI was consolidated in July 1973 into the new Drug Enforcement Administration.
Waldo H. Dubberstein, who worked in ONNI's Analysis Division and was previously head of CIA analysis for the Middle East and South Asia, was later employed by the DIA and committed suicide in April 1983 after being indicted for selling classified DIA intelligence reports to Libya from 1977–80.
