[edit] INR ACRONYM

What does this stand for? The correct acronym would be BIR or BoIaR. Does INR mean Intelligence National Reaserch or Intelligence aNd Research? The department of state website does not explain the origin of this INR ACRONYM and I have sent them a email to ask them what it means but they have not replied. Does anyone know what INR actually stands for. Please reply to johnpeterson02@yahoo.co.uk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.173.88.59 (talk) 10:42, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

This isn't really the place for general questions, and I'm definitely not going to be emailing you. But, the answer to your question is: INR stands for the Bureau of Intelligence and Research (capital letters denote where the acronym comes from: bureau of INtelligence and Research). --CapitalR 14:20, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
