The following is an excerpt of
Inside the CIA by Ronald Kessler an excellent book to read for those interested in how the CIA operates and the crucial role directors play in the arena of intelligence.
{Besides an original and a new building at its headquarters on Dolley Madison Boulevard in McLean, Virginia, the CIA has its own printing plant on the compound that turns out routine classified documents as well as the President's Daily Brief, the top-secret document presented to the president every morning. The document--usually eight to nine pages--comes off the press at six A.M. A double-wrapped copy is delievered to the director's home so he can read it on the way to the White House. A CIA briefer gives a second copy to the president around eight A.M.}
