U.S. spy org (3)

I believe the answer is:

cia

(Other definitions for cia that I've seen before include "US spy bureau" , "US investigative organisation" , "US agency for national security" , "Secret service agency of USA" , "Famous American intelligence agency, advises President" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the LA Times.
