The summary also said the DNI would consult with agency
heads to develop personnel policies and programs to staff
intelligence community management positions and promote
joint operations, something set forth as a precondition

It said the national intelligence program would establish
other incentives for personnel to serve in the DNI office,
national intelligence centers, NCTC, or other management
positions, in such a way as to reproduce “the joint
officer management policies established by the
Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization
act of 1986,” and subsequent amendments.
It would be considered “joint duty” when commissioned
officers from the Department of Defense are assigned to
the DNI office, and said the DNI would have the same
authority over personnel as the CIA director has over
CIA employees.
