| Comments: | I agree that we should have both 連邦捜査局 and 中央情報局, or neither. I moved アメリカ中央情報局 to JMNedict as that's where such entries really belong, but I think we need to add another category to the Proper Names policy covering organizational units. |

| Comments: | Like 連邦捜査局 (FBI), 中央情報局 is used enough in news media to warrant its own entry, I believe. I see that the CIA used to be listed under "アメリカ中央情報局" (before it was removed), but as far as I can tell, 中央情報局 always refers to the American CIA so アメリカ or 米国 etc. is unnecessary. |
