I believe the answer is:

cia

(Other definitions for cia that I've seen before include "US spy bureau" , "American secret service organisation" , "American agency concerned with Intelligence" , "American secret service agency" , "Famous American intelligence agency, advises President" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and The Washington Post Sunday.
