<P> The post of DCI was established in 1946 by President Harry S. Truman; it thus predates the establishment of the Central Intelligence Agency (created by the National Security Act of 1947). After the end of World War II, the Office of Strategic Services was dismantled and its functions were split between the Departments of State and War (now Defense). President Truman soon recognized the inefficiency of this arrangement and created the Central Intelligence Group, which could be considered a smaller precursor to the National Security Council . The following year the National Security Act of 1947 created the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Council, while formally defining the duties of the Director of Central Intelligence . The duties of the DCI had been further defined over the years by tradition, congressional acts, and Executive Orders . </P> <Dl> <Dt> Status </Dt> </Dl> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Director </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Tenure </Th> <Th> President (s) served under </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="5"> Position succeeded the Director of Central Intelligence . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Porter Goss </Td> <Td> April 21, 2005--May 5, 2006 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> George W.
