The departments are that top secret, the people employed wouldn't know if they were employed by the government. ;D

Six out of eight. Nice quiz. Actually addresses the question of who's really in charge, far more than the "who's your Congresscritter" thing I'd expected :)
Edit: Correction, five. Had to check one and failed.
And now I'm on a list for googling all of those terms just to check. :)
