This article is devoted to the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency in the aspect of interagency struggle. This process was associated with the need to coordinate all intelligence information received by various US government agencies. The outbreak of the Cold War pushed to accelerate the formation of a new department. The powers that the CIA planned to give could not arise out of nowhere, so they had to be taken from someone and redistributed. This fact caused a conflict of interest and interagency confrontation over spheres of influence and resources. The study was conducted on the basis of official memoranda and business correspondence. The results of a comprehensive source analysis allowed us to identify the main stakeholders, their concerns and claims for the new intelligence organization. The chronological framework of the study was concluded between the final stage of the Strategic Services Directorate in 1944 and the formation of the Central Intelligence Directorate in 1947.
