National Intelligence Association, Inc.

File No. 333-163628

SEC Comment letter dated January 5, 2010


Dear Mr. Spirgel:


National Intelligence Association, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is pleased advise you that we have received and reviewed your letter of January 5, 2010, pertaining to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Filing”) as filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 10, 2009.    


Specific to your comments, our responses below are in addition to those filed via the Edgar system:


FORM S-1


The Following numbered responses correspond to those numbered comments as set forth in the comment letter dated January 5, 2010.  We believe that the responses included hereinafter are complete and where disclosure has changes we have endeavoured to indicated, precisely, where any such changes have occurred. Further, we have endeavoured to revise all necessary section of the Filing where the applicable comment(s) may have affected any part thereof.


1.

The Company believes that this offering is a “true” secondary offering that is eligible to be made on a delayed basis under Rule 415(a)(1)(i). We understand that there have been limited circumstances under which the Commission has taken the position that an offering styled as a secondary offering is really a disguised primary offering made on behalf of the issuer entail situations in which the selling stockholders were acting as a "conduit" for the sale of the stock on behalf of the issuer. The relevant factors in determining whether the resale of the registered securities would qualify as a primary offering and thus eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i) are as follows: (i) the length of time the selling stockholders have held their shares; (ii) the circumstances under which the selling stockholders received their shares; (iii) the selling stockholders’ relationship to the issuer; (iv) the amount of shares involved; (v) whether the selling stockholders are in the business of underwriting securities; and, (vi) whether the securities feature “at the market” conversions or issuances. We believe that the facts and circumstances related to this Filing involved should persuade the Commission that the registered securities should not be construed as a indirect primary offering.


The following is a summary of the facts and circumstances surrounding the offering of the shares by each selling stockholder covered by the Form S-1, as well as the basis for the Company’s determination that each selling stockholder is not acting as a conduit for the Company.




1800 Ravinia Place, Orland Park,  IL  60462

312.775.9700






On May 12, 2009, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.001 per share to the President of the Company pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D for management services. On May 12, 2009, the Company issued 5,000,000 founders shares of the Company's common stock at $0.001 per share to various investors pursuant to Regulation S for proceeds of $5,000.  On May 12, 2009, the Company issued 5,000,000 founders shares of the Company's common stock at $0.001 per share to the President of the Company pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D for proceeds of $500.  Additionally, from July 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009, the Company sold 435,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.10 per share to various investors for total proceeds of $43,500 pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D.  On September 9, 2009, the Company sold 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.10 per share to one investor for total proceeds of $10,000 pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D. For the securities sold there is no applicable right or privilege that would result in any change in the market price of the Company’s Common.  The only adjustment to the foregoing would occur in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or similar action which affects all outstanding shares of Common Stock equally.


The selling shareholders who acquired their shares as of May 12, 2009, have held those shares for a period of eight months as of the date of this letter and those shareholders having acquired such shares between July 1, 2009 and August 31, 2009, will likely have held such shares for 6 months as of the date of effectiveness of the Filing. As such the Company's believes that the selling shareholders have held the shares of a adequate period of time that there should be no correlation, which would lead to the conclusion that the selling shareholders are acting as a "conduit" for the Company, between the proximity of initial placement and the registration of such securities.


The Company is seeking to register an aggregate of 6,535,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Filing, of those 6,535,000 are being registered on behalf of the referenced selling shareholders with the balance being registered for resale by the Company in a direct public offering. The shares offered by the selling shareholders and the percentage of those shares in relation to the total shares offered is shown in the following table:

Further, none of the selling shareholders, (except James Miller, the Company's CEO) were affiliated with the Company prior to closing of the Placement Agreements and there were no prior securities transactions between the Company and any of the selling shareholders. Other than the relationship of the shareholder to the Company as a shareholder, the Company is not aware of any other relationships between the selling stockholders.


In conclusion, since as described above, the Company believes that the selling stockholders are not acting as conduits for the Company, we believe that the facts and circumstances presented within this letter and within the Filing compel the conclusion that the offering by the selling stockholders pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 is “true” secondary offering eligible to be made on a shelf basis under Rule 415(a)(1)(i).
