	Security and Intelligence History \| Secret Intelligence Service
		The Secret Intelligence Service, sometimes known as MI6, originated in 1909 as the Foreign Section of the Secret Service Bureau which was responsible for gathering intelligence overseas.
		After the First World War, the Foreign Section became a separate service and began increasingly to be referred to as the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), a title that it has continued to use to the present day and now enshrined in statute in the Intelligence Services Act 1994.
		The principle role of SIS is the production of secret intelligence on issues concerning the UK’s vital interests in accordance with requirements established by the JIC and approved by Ministers.

	Secret Intelligence Service
		Often known by its initials, SIS is one of the British secret service agencies.
		It was unable to penetrate Germany itself, but had some significant successes in military and commercial intelligence, mostly achieved with agent networks in neutral countries, occupied territories, and Russia.
		Its most famous operation of the war was a spectacular failure known as the Venlo incident (after the Dutch town where much of the action took place), in which SIS was thoroughly duped by agents of the German secret service, the Abwehr, posing as high-ranking Army officers involved in a plot to depose Hitler.

	Some information on the UK's Secret Intelligence Service SIS
		The Secret Intelligence Service, sometimes known as MI6, originated in 1909 as the Foreign Section of the Secret Service Bureau, under RNR Commander, later Captain, Sir Mansfield Cumming, which was responsible for gathering intelligence overseas.
		With the passing of the Intelligence Services Act, SIS was placed on a statutory footing under the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary to whom it is responsible for all aspects of its work.
		The Service's principal role is the production of secret intelligence in support of Her Majesty's Government's security, defence, foreign and economic policies within the framework of requirements laid upon it by the JIC and approved by Ministers.

		The Australian Secret Intelligence Organization, Australia's domestic counterintelligence service, is responsible (in coordination with the Federal Police[?]) for preventing espionage by foreign powers, and is attempting to monitor and prevent terrorist and other political violence[?].
		Throughout the 1960s, like other Western intelligence agencies it monitored the activities of Vietnam War protestors and others on the political left (some of whom were involved in espionage for the Soviet Union but many more who were not and whose monitoring amounted to little more than harassment).
		The distrust engendered in the Australian Labor Party led to a raid on the ASIO offices by the new Attorney-General, Lionel Murphy in 1972 when Labor won office.

	United States Secret Service: How Protection Works
		The Secret Service is world-renowned for the physical protection it provides to the nation's highest elected leaders and other government officials.
		As part of the Secret Service's mission of preventing an incident before it occurs, the agency relies on meticulous advance work and threat assessments developed by its Intelligence Division to identify potential risks to protectees.
		During protective visits, Secret Service and local law enforcement personnel form a network of support for members of the detail working in close proximity to the protectee.

		History/Profile: The British Secret Intelligence Service - Military Intelligence Section 6 - was established in 1909 to act as a single co-ordinating body for foreign intelligence.
		SIS did not establish a Moscow station until 1943, and much of their intelligence became reliant on groups of exiled White Russians, who had a tendency to exaggerate their own importance as well as the strength of the Red Army.
		Although the PCO network was for the most part, in tatters, SIS had the advantage of being able to utilise the networks established by the allied Secret Services in exile in London.

	Secret Intelligence Service ”MI6” - ajb007.co.uk
		The Secret Intelligence Service is without doubt the organisation that James Bond works for.
		The existence of the Secret Intelligence Service was not officially acknowledged by the British government until March 1994, on publication of the Intelligence Services Act (1994), which for the first time revealed the role of the service, including its budget and the number of staff under its command.
		Although many intelligence analysts and critics opposed to the new higher profile MI6 building came out of the woodwork to the tune of “I told you so”, one must wonder why an anti-tank missile, used for piercing armoured plated vehicles, only managed to break a window.

		Despite the efforts of an outraged British government determined to suppress its publication, this exhaustive study of Her Majesty's secret service appeared in print in the U.K. in March, and was serialized amid great controversy in London's Sunday Times.
		Dense even for an intelligence history, the work is carefully organized to avoid overwhelming the more casual reader, while providing both in-depth research for the serious student and entertainment for the well-informed spy buff.
		Where the Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), Major-General Sir Stewart Menzies (pronounced 'Mingiss'), celebrated 'Victory in Europe' (VE) day is not known, but it is more than likely that he was standing at the bar of White's Club in St James's where much of the informal business of intelligence work was still undertaken.

		As one of the leading intelligence agencies in the world, the work of the Secret Intelligence Service bears quite a close resemblance to the world of espionage populated by James Bond, but only because their operations are so covert.
		It wasn't until 1994, when the Intelligence Services Act was passed under the then Prime Minister John Major, that its official role was acknowledged and defined.
		Like their sister organisation MI5, the SIS was originally part of the Secret Service Bureau, which in 1909 divided to become MI5 and MI6 under the command of Captain Vernon Kell and Captain Mansfield Cumming respectively.

		As MI5 was considered by MI6 to be an inferior intelligence service, this was the severest punishment that could be inflicted on the organization.
		While in government service he carried out his duties ably and conscientiously, and I have no reason to conclude that Mr Philby has at any time betrayed the interests of his country, or to identify him with the so-called "Third Man', if indeed there was one.
