The record claims the division is named 'RAND National Defense Research Institute (NDRI)' with type 'department'. However, the source organizational chart clearly lists 'RAND National Security Research Division' (directed by Barry Pavel, Vice President and Director) as a research division under 'Research and Analysis'. There is no mention of 'RAND National Defense Research Institute' or the acronym 'NDRI' anywhere in the source text. The name in the record is factually incorrect.
