          (1) Consistent with section 601(a) of the Implementing 
        Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (50 U.S.C. 
        3306(a)), the recent practice of the intelligence community has 
        been to release to the public--
                  (A) around the date on which the President submits to 
                Congress a budget for a fiscal year pursuant to section 
                1105 of title 31, United States Code, the ``top-line''

        the United States to counterterrorism activities and programs, 
        including with respect to such activities and programs of the 
        intelligence community, the United States Government could take 
        additional steps to enhance the understanding of the public 
        with respect to such resource commitments, in a manner 
        consistent with the protection of intelligence sources and 
        methods and other national security interests; and
          (2) the United States Government should release to the public 
        as much information as possible regarding the funding of 
        counterterrorism activities and programs, including activities 
        and programs of the intelligence community, in a manner 
        consistent with the protection of intelligence sources and 
        methods and other national security interests.

        the enactment of this Act, and not later than 90 days after the

        briefing from appropriate personnel of the United States 
        Government on the feasibility of releasing to the public 
        additional information relating to counterterrorism efforts of 
        the intelligence community.
          (2) Elements.--Each briefing required by paragraph (1) shall 
        include a discussion of the feasibility of--
                  (A) subject to paragraph (3), releasing to the public 
                the National Counterterrorism Budget report described 
                in subsection (a)(2) for the prior fiscal year; and
                  (B) declassifying other reports, documents, or 
                activities of the intelligence community relating to 
                counterterrorism and releasing such information to the 
                public in a manner consistent with the protection of 
                intelligence sources and methods and other national 
                security interests.
          (3) Release of national counterterrorism budget report.--The 
        President may satisfy the requirement under paragraph (2)(A) 
        during a fiscal year by, not later than 90 days after the 
        beginning of the fiscal year, releasing to the public the 
        National Counterterrorism Budget report (with any redactions

        sources and methods and other national security interests) for 
        the prior fiscal year.

SEC. 2603. IMPROVING THE PROCESS FOR SECURITY CLEARANCES.

  (a) Reviews.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment 
of this Act, the Security Executive Agent, in coordination with the 
members of the Council, shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees and make available to appropriate industry partners a report 
that includes the following:
          (1) A review of whether the information requested on the 
        Questionnaire for National Security Positions (Standard Form 
        86) and by the Federal Investigative Standards prescribed by 
        the Office of Personnel Management and the Office of the 
        Director of National Intelligence appropriately supports the 
        adjudicative guidelines under Security Executive Agent 
        Directive 4 (known as the ``National Security Adjudicative 
        Guidelines''). Such review shall include identification of 
        whether any such information currently collected is unnecessary 
        to support the adjudicative guidelines.
          (2) An assessment of whether such Questionnaire, Standards, 
        and guidelines should be revised to account for the prospect of 
        a holder of a security clearance becoming an insider threat.
          (3) Recommendations to improve the background investigation 
        process by--
                  (A) simplifying the Questionnaire for National 
                Security Positions (Standard Form 86) and increasing

                  (C) using secure and reliable digitization of 
                information obtained during the clearance process;
                  (D) building the capacity of the background 
                investigation labor sector; and
                  (E) replacing periodic reinvestigations with 
                continuous evaluation techniques in all appropriate 
                circumstances.
  (b) Policy, Strategy, and Implementation.--Not later than 180 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Security Executive 
Agent shall, in coordination with the members of the Council, establish 
the following:
          (1) A policy and implementation plan for the issuance of 
        interim security clearances.
          (2) A policy and implementation plan to ensure contractors 
        are treated consistently in the security clearance process 
        across agencies and departments of the United States as 
        compared to employees of such agencies and departments. Such 
        policy shall address--
                  (A) prioritization of processing security clearances 
                based on the mission the contractors will be 
                performing;
                  (B) standardization in the forms that agencies issue 
                to initiate the process for a security clearance;
                  (C) digitization of background investigation-related 
                forms;
                  (D) use of the polygraph;
                  (E) the application of the adjudicative guidelines 
                under Security Executive Agent Directive 4 (known as 
                the ``National Security Adjudicative Guidelines'');
                  (F) reciprocal recognition of clearances across 
                agencies and departments of the United States, 
                regardless of status of periodic reinvestigation;
                  (G) tracking of clearance files as individuals move 
                from employment with an agency or department of the 
                United States to employment in the private sector;
                  (H) collection of timelines for movement of 
                contractors across agencies and departments;
                  (I) reporting on security incidents and job 
                performance, consistent with section 552a of title 5, 
                United States Code (commonly known as the ``Privacy Act 
                of 1974''), that may affect the ability to hold a 
                security clearance;
                  (J) any recommended changes to the Federal 
                Acquisition Regulations (FAR) necessary to ensure that 
                information affecting contractor clearances or 
                suitability is appropriately and expeditiously shared 
                between and among agencies and contractors; and
                  (K) portability of contractor security clearances 
                between or among contracts at the same agency and 
                between or among contracts at different agencies that 
                require the same level of clearance.
          (3) A strategy and implementation plan that--
                  (A) provides for periodic reinvestigations as part of 
                a security clearance determination only on an as-
                needed, risk-based basis;
                  (B) includes actions to assess the extent to which 
                automated records checks and other continuous 
                evaluation methods may be used to expedite or focus 
                reinvestigations; and
                  (C) provides an exception for certain populations if 
                the Security Executive Agent--
                          (i) determines such populations require 
                        reinvestigations at regular intervals; and
                          (ii) provides written justification to the 
                        appropriate congressional committees for any 
                        such determination.
          (4) A policy and implementation plan for agencies and 
        departments of the United States, as a part of the security 
        clearance process, to accept automated records checks generated 
        pursuant to a security clearance applicant's employment with a 
        prior employer.
          (5) A policy for the use of certain background materials on 
        individuals collected by the private sector for background 
        investigation purposes.
          (6) Uniform standards for agency continuous evaluation 
        programs to ensure quality and reciprocity in accepting 
        enrollment in a continuous vetting program as a substitute for 
        a periodic investigation for continued access to classified 
        information.

SEC. 2604. GOALS FOR PROMPTNESS OF DETERMINATIONS REGARDING SECURITY 
                    CLEARANCES.

  (a) Reciprocity Defined.--In this section, the term ``reciprocity'' 
means reciprocal recognition by Federal departments and agencies of 
eligibility for access to classified information.
  (b) In General.--The Council shall reform the security clearance 
process with the objective that, by December 31, 2021, 90 percent of 
all determinations, other than determinations regarding populations 
identified under section 2603(b)(3)(C), regarding--
          (1) security clearances--
                  (A) at the secret level are issued in 30 days or 
                fewer; and
                  (B) at the top secret level are issued in 90 days or 
                fewer; and
          (2) reciprocity of security clearances at the same level are 
        recognized in 2 weeks or fewer.
  (c) Certain Reinvestigations.--The Council shall reform the security 
clearance process with the goal that by December 31, 2021, 
reinvestigation on a set periodicity is not required for more than 10 
percent of the population that holds a security clearance.
  (d) Equivalent Metrics.--
          (1) In general.--If the Council develops a set of performance 
        metrics that it certifies to the appropriate congressional 
        committees should achieve substantially equivalent outcomes as 
        those outlined in subsections (b) and (c), the Council may use 
        those metrics for purposes of compliance within this provision.
          (2) Notice.--If the Council uses the authority provided by 
        paragraph (1) to use metrics as described in such paragraph, 
        the Council shall, not later than 30 days after communicating 
        such metrics to departments and agencies, notify the 
        appropriate congressional committees that it is using such 
        authority.
  (e) Plan.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
this Act, the Council shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees and make available to appropriate industry partners a plan 
to carry out this section. Such plan shall include recommended interim 
milestones for the goals set forth in subsections (b) and (c) for 2019, 
2020, and 2021.

U.S.C. 3161 et seq.) is amended--
          (1) by redesignating sections 803 and 804 as sections 804 and

                    POSITIONS OF TRUST AND SECURITY CLEARANCES.

  Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
the Security Executive Agent and the Suitability and Credentialing 
Executive Agent, in coordination with the other members of the Council, 
shall jointly submit to the appropriate congressional committees and 
make available to appropriate industry partners a report regarding the 
advisability and the risks, benefits, and costs to the Government and 
to industry of consolidating to not more than 3 tiers for positions of 
trust and security clearances.

SEC. 2607. REPORT ON CLEARANCE IN PERSON CONCEPT.

  (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that to reflect 
the greater mobility of the modern workforce, alternative methodologies 
merit analysis to allow greater flexibility for individuals moving in 
and out of positions that require access to classified information, 
while still preserving security.
  (b) Report Required.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Security Executive Agent shall submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees and make available to appropriate 
industry partners a report that describes the requirements, 
feasibility, and advisability of implementing a clearance in person 
concept described in subsection (c).
  (c) Clearance in Person Concept.--The clearance in person concept--
          (1) permits an individual who once held a security clearance 
        to maintain his or her eligibility for access to classified 
        information, networks, and facilities for up to 3 years after 
        the individual's eligibility for access to classified 
        information would otherwise lapse; and
          (2) recognizes, unless otherwise directed by the Security 
        Executive Agent, an individual's security clearance and 
        background investigation as current, regardless of employment 
        status, contingent on enrollment in a continuous vetting 
        program.
  (d) Contents.--The report required under subsection (b) shall 
address--
          (1) requirements for an individual to voluntarily remain in a 
        continuous evaluation program validated by the Security 
        Executive Agent even if the individual is not in a position 
        requiring access to classified information;
          (2) appropriate safeguards for privacy;
          (3) advantages to government and industry;
          (4) the costs and savings associated with implementation;
          (5) the risks of such implementation, including security and 
        counterintelligence risks;
          (6) an appropriate funding model; and
          (7) fairness to small companies and independent contractors.

SEC. 2608. REPORTS ON RECIPROCITY FOR SECURITY CLEARANCES INSIDE OF 
                    DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES.

  (a) Reciprocally Recognized Defined.--In this section, the term 
``reciprocally recognized'' means reciprocal recognition by Federal 
departments and agencies of eligibility for access to classified 
information.
  (b) Reports to Security Executive Agent.--The head of each Federal 
department or agency shall submit an annual report to the Security 
Executive Agent that--
          (1) identifies the number of individuals whose security 
        clearances take more than 2 weeks to be reciprocally recognized 
        after such individuals move to another part of such department 
        or agency; and
          (2) breaks out the information described in paragraph (1) by 
        type of clearance and the reasons for any delays.
  (c) Annual Report.--Not less frequently than once each year, the 
Security Executive Agent shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees and make available to industry partners an annual report 
that summarizes the information received pursuant to subsection (b) 
during the period covered by such report.

SEC. 2609. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY REPORTS ON SECURITY CLEARANCES.

  (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) despite sustained efforts by Congress and the executive 
        branch, an unacceptable backlog in processing and adjudicating 
        security clearances persists, both within elements of the 
        intelligence community and in other departments of the Federal 
        Government, with some processing times exceeding a year or even 
        more;
          (2) the protracted clearance timetable threatens the ability 
        of elements of the intelligence community to hire and retain 
        highly qualified individuals, and thus to fulfill the missions 
        of such elements;
          (3) the prospect of a lengthy clearance process deters some 
        such individuals from seeking employment with the intelligence 
        community in the first place, and, when faced with a long wait 
        time, those with conditional offers of employment may opt to 
        discontinue the security clearance process and pursue different 
        opportunities;
          (4) now more than ever, therefore, the broken security 
        clearance process badly needs fundamental reform; and
          (5) in the meantime, to ensure the ability of elements of the 
        intelligence community to hire and retain highly qualified 
        personnel, elements should consider, to the extent possible and 
        consistent with national security, permitting new employees to 
        enter on duty immediately or nearly so, and to perform, on a 
        temporary basis pending final adjudication of their security 
        clearances, work that either does not require a security 
        clearance or requires only a low-level interim clearance.
  (b) In General.--Section 506H of the National Security Act of 1947 
(50 U.S.C. 3104) is amended--
          (1) in subsection (a)(1)--
                  (A) in subparagraph (A)(ii), by inserting ``and'' 
                after the semicolon;
                  (B) in subparagraph (B)(ii), by striking ``; and'' 
                and inserting a period; and
                  (C) by striking subparagraph (C);
          (2) by redesignating subsection (b) as subsection (c);
          (3) by inserting after subsection (a) the following new 
        subsection (b):
  ``(b) Intelligence Community Reports.--(1) Not later than March 1 of 
each year, the Director of National Intelligence shall submit to the 
congressional intelligence committees, the Committee on Homeland 
Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and the Committee on 
Homeland Security of the House of Representatives a report on the 
security clearances processed by each element of the intelligence 
community during the preceding fiscal year. Each such report shall 
separately identify security clearances processed for Federal employees 
and contractor employees sponsored by each such element.
  ``(2) Each report submitted under paragraph (1) shall include each of 
the following for each element of the intelligence community for the 
fiscal year covered by the report:
          ``(A) The total number of initial security clearance 
        background investigations sponsored for new applicants.
          ``(B) The total number of security clearance periodic 
        reinvestigations sponsored for existing employees.
          ``(C) The total number of initial security clearance 
        background investigations for new applicants that were

Management Account, and the Central Intelligence Agency 
Retirement and Disability System, and for other purposes.

                                Purpose

    The purpose of H.R. 3494 is to authorize the intelligence 
and intelligence-related activities of the United States 
Government for Fiscal Years (FY) 2018, 2019, and 2020.

                 Classified Annex and Committee Intent

    The classified annex to this report includes the classified 
schedule of authorizations and associated explanatory and 
directive language. The classified schedule of authorizations 
is incorporated directly into the legislation by Sections 102 
and 2102 of the bill. It is the Committee's intent that 
elements of the Intelligence Community shall strictly comply 
with all Committee direction and other guidance set forth in 
the classified annex.
    The classified annex and classified schedule of 
authorizations have been made available for review by all 
Members of the House of Representatives, on conditions set by 
the Committee at the time of its consideration of H.R. 3494.

                       Scope of Committee Review

    The bill authorizes U.S. intelligence and intelligence-
related activities within the jurisdiction of the Committee, 
including the National Intelligence Program (NIP) and the 
Military Intelligence Program (MIP), the Homeland Security 
Intelligence Program (HSIP), and the Information Systems 
Security Program (ISSP). The NIP consists of all activities of 
the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), as 
well as intelligence, intelligence-related, and 
counterintelligence activities conducted by: the Central 
Intelligence Agency; the Department of Defense, including the 
Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the 
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the National 
Reconnaissance Office, and certain activities of the 
Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force; the Department of 
Energy; the Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau 
of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration; the 
Department of Homeland Security, including the U.S. Coast Guard 
and intelligence elements of DHS; Department of State; and the 
Department of the Treasury. The Committee has exclusive or 
concurrent legislative, authorizing, and oversight jurisdiction 
of these activities--and exclusive jurisdiction to study the 
sources and methods of the Intelligence Community.

         Committee Statement, Views, and Unclassified Direction

    H.R. 3494, the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 2020 
(the Act) authorizes the activities of, and funding for, the 17 
agencies that comprise the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC). 
Because most of the intelligence budget involves classified 
programs, the bulk of the Committee's recommendations each year 
are found in the classified annex accompanying the bill.
    The Act's unclassified legislative text is divided into two 
divisions: Division A and Division B. Division A contains the 
FY20 Intelligence Authorization Act. Division B contains the 
FY18 and FY19 Intelligence Authorization Acts. Unclassified 
direction for both Division A and Division B is set out below.

   Unclassified Direction to Accompany Division A: The Intelligence 
                 Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020


Increasing Data Security

    The Committee is aware the Intelligence Community (IC) 
faces challenges while trying to balance mission and enterprise 
needs with IT modernization, including the migration of data 
and applications to the cloud. With this in mind, the Committee 
encourages the IC to identify and implement technologies that 
increase the security posture of data and workloads and reduce 
cyber risks.
    The Committee further recommends that:
          1. IC elements identify, develop, and implement tools 
        for bi-directional data migration and division 
        interoperability between data center and cloud 
        environments;
          2. these tools include, but not be limited to, 
        encryption of data while both at rest and in motion, 
        and micro-segmentation of networks and workloads; and
          3. IC elements prioritize shifting resources towards 
        automation as a way to respond more quickly to cyber 
        threats.

Anonymous Annual Survey Regarding Workplace Climate

    Intelligence Community elements obtain mission-critical 
information from the results of anonymous, annual surveys of 
their employees, on issues related to workplace climate and 
retention. As necessary as they are to the elements' own 
activities, survey results are also vital to the Committee's 
continuing oversight of elements' efforts to address workplace 
climate and retention issues, and to propose legislative and 
other remedies where appropriate.
    The need for reliable information is especially acute with 
respect to sexual harassment and discrimination, given that--
established policy and legal protections notwithstanding--an 
employee may fear that directly raising concerns about such 
matters risks exposing the employee to retaliatory personnel, 
security clearance, or other actions. The anonymous survey 
affords the element, and the committee, a mechanism for 
inquiring further about the extent of this well-documented 
chilling effect against reporting; and about the effectiveness 
(or not) of ongoing programs to uncover and stamp out sexual 
harassment, discrimination, and other illegal and/or 
inappropriate activities at the workplace.
    Therefore, the Committee directs that no later than 180 
days after enactment of this Act, the Director of National 
Intelligence must certify in writing to the congressional 
intelligence committees that:
          (1) at least once a year, each element of the 
        Intelligence Community submits a survey to its 
        employees regarding workplace climate and retention 
        matters, and affords employees completing such surveys 
        the option to remain anonymous;
          (2) such survey includes questions regarding 
        employees' experiences with sexual assault, 
        discrimination, harassment, including sexual 
        harassment, and related retaliation, including, at a 
        minimum, the following questions:
                  a. Have you witnessed sexual harassment or 
                sexual assault?
                          i. Did you report it?
                          ii. If not, why not?
                  b. Have you experienced sexual harassment or 
                sexual assault?
                          i. Did you report it?
                          ii. If not, why not?
                  c. Have you experienced retaliation for 
                reporting harassment, discrimination, or sexual 
                assault?
                          i. Have you faced retribution for 
                        taking leave for family, medical, or 
                        other personal reasons?
                          ii. Did you fear retribution for 
                        taking leave?
          (3) each element includes in its survey questions 
        regarding the job series, position, age, gender, race 
        or ethnicity, field, and job location at the time of 
        the survey's completion;
          (4) each element tracks employees' responses 
        according to job series, position, age, gender, race or 
        ethnicity, field, and location at the time of the 
        survey's completion; and
          (5) each element reports the results of its survey 
        annually to the congressional intelligence committees.

    The Committee continues to strongly support Intelligence 
Community (IC) efforts to identify, recruit, and retain a 
highly diverse and highly qualified workforce--including, in 
particular, its efforts to increase the representation within 
elements of the Intelligence Community of women and minorities.
    This is a data driven exercise. Bolstering and adjusting IC 
workforce diversity programs depends in part on the Committee's 
regularly obtaining current, detailed and reliable information, 
and about specific matters relevant to the broader subject of 
workforce diversity--such as rates and areas of promotion of 
women and minority employees. But some elements may produce 
such information only from time to time; others may make 
regular submissions to the Committee but include only general 
information.
    Therefore, the Committee directs that every six months, the 
head of each element of the Intelligence Community shall submit 
to the Committee a written report which shall include, at a 
minimum:
          1. The total number of women and minorities hired by 
        that element during the reporting period and a 
        calculation of that figure as a percentage of the 
        agency's total hiring for that period;
          2. The distribution of women and minorities at that 
        element by grade level and by job series in the 
        element's total workforce during the reporting period, 
        together with comparisons from the immediately 
        preceding two years;
          3. The number of women and minorities who applied for 
        promotion at the element and the final number selected 
        for promotion during the reporting period;
          4. The proportion of the total workforce of the 
        element occupied by each group or class protected by 
        law, as of the last day of the reporting period;
          5. The numbers of minorities and women serving in 
        positions at the element requiring advanced, 
        specialized training or certification and the 
        proportion of the workforce those groups occupy; and
    To the extent that such element deploys civilian employees 
to hazardous duty locations, the number of women and minority 
employees who departed government service subsequent to a 
deployment undertaken by an employee in the previous two years. 
Report on Geospatial Commercial Activities for Basic and 
Applied Research and Development
    The Committee directs the Director of NGA, in coordination 
with the DNI, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, 
and the Director of the National Reconnaissance Office, within 
90 days of enactment of this Act, to submit to the 
congressional intelligence and defense committees a report on 
the feasibility, risks, costs, and benefits of providing the 
private sector and academia, on a need-driven and limited 
basis--consistent with the protection of sources and methods, 
as well as privacy and civil liberties--access to data in the 
possession of the NGA for the purpose of assisting the efforts 
of the private sector and academia in basic research, applied 
research, data transfers, and the development of automation, 
artificial intelligence, and associated algorithms. Such report 
shall include:
          1. Identification of any additional authorities that 
        the Director of NGA would require to provide the 
        private sector and academia with access to relevant 
        data on a need-driven and limited basis, consistent 
        with applicable laws and procedures relating to the 
        protection of sources, methods, privacy and civil 
        liberties; and
          2. Market research to assess the commercial and 
        academic interest in such data and determine likely 
        private-sector entities and institutions of higher 
        education interested in public-private partnerships 
        relating to such data.

NRO Contracting Restrictions

    The Committee continues to be very concerned that NRO 
imposes unnecessary contractual restrictions that prohibits or 
discourages a contractor from contacting or meeting with a 
congressional intelligence committee or intelligence committee 
Member offices. Therefore, the Committee directs NRO to remove 
all restrictions that impacts contractors from contacting or 
meeting with the congressional intelligence committees or 
member offices in all current and future contracts to include 
pre-coordination with executive branch agencies.

Enhancing Automation at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency

    The Committee strongly supports efforts to leverage 
commercial advances in automation of imagery such as electro-
optical, infrared, Wide Area Motion Imagery (WAMI), Full Motion 
Video (FMV), and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) products to 
reduce manual processing and improve information flow to users. 
However, the Committee is concerned that NGA does not dedicate 
adequate resources to integrate new automation techniques which 
have resulted in years of research into the issue, but limited 
operation gains during day to day imagery processing.
    Therefore, the Committee directs NGA, within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence 
and defense committees on an updated plan to reduce manual 
processing of imagery such as electro-optical, infrared, WAMI, 
FMV, and SAR to improve information flow to users. The briefing 
shall also address:
          1. NGA's strategy to leverage commercial advances;
          2. The various GEOINT automated exploitation 
        development programs across the National System for 
        Geospatial-Intelligence, and the associated funding and 
        specific purpose of said programs;
          3. Any similar efforts by government entities outside 
        the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence of 
        which NGA is aware; and
          4. Which of these efforts are duplicative?

Redundant Organic Software Development

    The Committee is concerned that NGA is developing software 
solutions that are otherwise available for purchase on the 
commercial market. This practice most always, increases the 
time it takes to deliver new capabilities to the warfighter; 
increases the overall cost of the solution through expensive 
operational and maintenance costs; and undermines the U.S. 
software industrial base.
    Therefore, the Committee directs NGA, within 60 days of 
enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence 
committees, to identify all NGA developed software programs and 
explain why they are being developed organically instead of 
leveraging commercially available products.

Critical Skills Recruiting for Automation

    Although cutting edge sensors have provided the 
Intelligence Community and Department of Defense with exquisite 
imagery, full motion video (FMV), and wide area motion imagery 
(WAMI), intelligence analysts are unable to keep pace with the 
volume of data being generated. This demands a transformation 
in the way the intelligence enterprise processes, organizes, 
and presents data. For that reason, the committee fully 
supports the NGA's efforts to attract, recruit, and retain a 
highly competent workforce that can acquire and integrate new 
data automation tools.
    Therefore, the Committee directs NGA, within 60 days of 
enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence 
and defense committees on NGA's efforts to recruit critical 
skills such as mathematicians, data scientists, and software 
engineers that possess critical skills needed to support NGA's 
objectives in automation.

Common Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility

    The Committee has become aware of several major impediments 
for companies to perform work for agencies and organizations 
like the NRO. For example, businesses without ownership of a 
Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) find it 
very difficult to perform classified work. Additionally, these 
small businesses are challenged with basic obstacles such as 
becoming aware of classified work opportunities because it is 
difficult to obtain access to the IC's and DoD's classified 
marketplaces such as the Acquisition Resource Center (ARC). 
Construction and accreditation of SCIF spaces is cost-
prohibitive for my small business and non-traditional 
government contractors. Additionally, construction timeline 
often exceeds the period of performance of a contract.
    A modern trend for innovative and non-traditional 
government contractors is the increase use of co-working space 
environments. Additionally, public and private entities are 
partnering to create emerging regional innovation hubs to help 
identify technology solutions and products in the private 
sector that can be utilized by the IC and DoD. These innovation 
hubs currently produce an agile, neutral, but largely 
unclassified development environment.
    Therefore, the Committee directs DNI, within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence 
committees on the following:
          1. Steps necessary to establish new `Common SCIFs' in 
        areas of high demand;
          2. What approaches allow for SCIF spaces to be 
        certified and accredited outside of a traditional 
        contractual arrangement;
          3. Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of 
        issuing Department of Defense Contract Security 
        Specification (DD Form 254s) to ``Facilities'' as 
        opposed to ``Contracts'';
          4. Options for classified co-use and shared workspace 
        environments such as: innovation, incubation, catalyst, 
        and accelerator environments;
          5. Pros and cons for public, private, government, or 
        combination owned classified neutral facilities; and
          6. Any other opportunities to support hose without 
        ownership of a SCIF effective access to a neutral SCIF.

Improving Use of the Unclassified Marketplaces

    Another area where the Committee has become aware of major 
impediments for companies to perform work for agencies and 
organizations like the NRO are unclassified marketplaces such 
as the Acquisition Resource Center (ARC). Instead of posting 
data to unclassified marketplaces, unclassified NRO postings 
often refer to the classified side for critical yet 
unclassified information. If the NRO is serious about embracing 
commercial innovation, unclassified marketplace postings should 
remain on the unclassified side.
    Therefore, the Committee directs NRO, within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence 
committees on options for improving the unclassified 
marketplace process.

Satellite Servicing

    No later than one year after the date of the enactment of 
this Act, the Director of national Intelligence, in 
consultation with the Secretary of Defense, shall jointly 
provide the Intelligence Community and to the congressional 
defense committees upon request, a briefing detailing the 
costs, risks, and operation benefits of leveraging commercial 
satellite servicing capabilities for national security 
satellite systems. The briefing shall include the following:
          1. A prioritized list, with a rationale, of 
        operational and planned assets of the Intelligence 
        Community that could be enhanced by satellite servicing 
        missions.
          2. The costs, risks, and benefits of integrating 
        satellite servicing capabilities as part of operational 
        resilience.
          3. Potential strategies that could allow future 
        national security space systems to leverage commercial 
        in-orbit servicing capabilities where appropriate and 
        feasible.

Commercial RF Mapping and SAR

    U.S. commercial companies are now offering space-based 
geolocation and GEOINT analysis of radio frequency (RF) 
emitters as well as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) products. 
These companies can identify, locate, and analyze previously 
undetected activity, providing new insights for U.S. national 
security and defense. The Intelligence Community currently has 
contracts that leverage commercial electro-optical satellites, 
however it does not have a program in place to take full 
advantage of these emerging commercial space-based RF GEOINT 
and SAR capabilities.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the NRO and NGA to brief 
the committee on how it will leverage these commercial 
companies in the FY20 and beyond timeframe, to include funding 
for, as well as test and evaluation efforts.

Commercial Remote Sensing

    The Committee supports efforts to establish a light-touch 
regulatory structure that enables the rapidly evolving 
commercial space-based imagery, radio-frequency (RF) sensing 
and radar industry markets promote U.S. leadership in these 
areas. However, the Committee also supports the needs of the 
USG to protect both IC and DoD personnel and assets. The 
Committee believes there can be a balance that supports both 
national security interests and the promotion of U.S. 
innovation and leadership.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the DNI, in consultation 
with the Secretary of Defense, to brief the Committee by 1 Dec 
2019, on efforts that help address this balance and which 
streamline the IC and DoD involvement in the rapidly evolving 
U.S. commercial space-based imagery, radio-frequency (RF) 
sensing and radar industries.

Deception detection techniques

    The U.S. Government does not have sufficient security 
screening capabilities available to determine deception in 
individuals that intend to harm the United States. Polygraph 
has been the most effective investigative tool at our disposal 
to detect deception, but the cost and time required to 
administer a polygraph examination is a major cause for 
security clearance backlogs, and often limits the frequency of 
periodic examinations to every 5-7 years. Entities within DoD/
IC including DIA, SOCOM, NGA, DSS, Air Force and others have 
expressed a desire to begin piloting new systems such as ocular 
deception detection systems. However, progress is being 
hindered by DoD Directive 5210.91 and ODNI Security Agent 
Directive 2, which direct some oversight of new deception 
detection technologies to the DoD National Center of 
Credibility Assessment (NCCA), which does not have sufficient 
budget or resources to expeditiously evaluate non-polygraph 
technologies.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the DNI in coordination 
with the DoD a briefing on what steps they are taking to ensure 
pilot programs are established to evaluate these new 
technologies to help reduce our backlog, improve efficiency and 
reduce overall cost. Pilots program shall evaluate current and 
emerging technologies to efficiently and rapidly verify the 
accuracy and truthfulness of statements of candidates for 
employment within the DoD/IC, including for interim security 
clearances, for periodic screening of cleared DoD/IC personnel, 
to screen foreign national collaborators and contractors 
overseas to prevent Green-on-Blue attacks, for immigration 
screening and for other purposes.

IC Industry Rotational Program

    The Education With Industry (EWI) Program is a highly 
selective, competitive, non-degree educational assignment 
within an industry related to the fellow's career field. EWI 
supports the USAF mission by providing Air Force officers and 
civil service employees with on-the-job education, experience, 
and exposure to private sectors of the economy or other 
government agencies not available through formal courses of 
instruction.
    The EWI program is designed to improve the technical, 
professional, and management competencies of participating 
students by partnering with top tier public and private sector 
innovative companies. During the ten-month tour, students are 
embedded within an industry team to meet their career specific 
desired learning objectives. Through hands on exposure to 
industry best practices, students develop the necessary 
competencies, skills, knowledge, and abilities to build, 
sustain and retain a mission-ready workforce. In addition to 
this, students learn how to better partner with industry, thus 
developing Air Force leaders with greater business acumen and 
empathy. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide 
students the expertise to implement innovative practices when 
they return to the Air Force as well as understand how to 
better partner with industry in the future. Upon completion, 
graduates are assigned to Air Force duty consistent with the 
education. Unfortunately, the IC does not leverage this program 
to its fullest extent.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the DNI to establish a 
more robust EWI program for IC personnel. This would entail 
sending IC technically skilled ambassadors (GS11-GS14) to be 
embedded in U.S. companies for a one to two-year rotation. The 
Committee further directs the DNI to brief the Committee on its 
plans by 1 December 2019.

List of Foreign Entities That Pose a Threat to Critical Technologies

    The Committee directs the Director of National 
Intelligence, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, to 
identify, compose, and maintain a list of foreign entities, 
including governments, corporations, nonprofit and for-profit 
organizations, and any subsidiary or affiliate of such an 
entity, that the Director determines pose a threat of espionage 
with respect to critical technologies or research projects, 
including research conducted at institutions of higher 
education.
    Maintenance of this list will be critical to ensuring the 
security of the most sensitive projects relating to U.S. 
national security, such as defense and intelligence-related 
research projects. The initial list shall be available to the 
head of each qualified agency funding applicable projects and 
will include the following entities already identified as 
threatening: Huawei Technologies Company, ZTE Corporation, 
Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital 
Technology Company, Dahua Technology Company, Kaspersky Lab. 
The Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of 
Defense, or a delegate from both agencies, shall brief the 
findings to the House Committee on Armed Services and the House 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence no later than six 
months following the enactment of this provision.

Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Operational 
        Assessment

    The Committee recognizes the critical role that Department 
of Defense airborne intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities play supporting military 
operations worldwide. The committee understands that 
responsive, persistent, and precise collection of operational 
information from the air will continue to provide an asymmetric 
and decisive advantage to operational commanders and tactical 
forces. The committee also recognizes that to meet the 
objectives described in the National Defense Strategy, the 
Department of Defense must modernize and adapt its ISR 
operating concepts and joint force structure to ensure it can 
maneuver, fight, and prevail in highly contested environments. 
However, the committee notes that there is an apparent lack of 
an integrated joint approach to the Department's ISR 
modernization strategy. The committee is concerned by recent 
military service decisions to reduce certain airborne ISR 
collection platforms without a clear transition plan or 
approved risk mitigation strategy, despite facing significant 
deficiencies in collection capacity.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 
stress test of joint intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance enterprise capabilities required to achieve the 
operational objectives of its highest priority global campaign 
plans and evaluate the capability and capacity of existing 
service programs of record to satisfy joint force requirements 
for critical categories of intelligence. The committee also 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services and House Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence by March 1, 2020, on the results of 
this stress test. The briefing shall include capability and 
capacity shortfalls in platforms, sensors, and personnel, as 
well as address proposed risk mitigation strategies to address 
critical deficiencies.

Protection of National Security Research

    The Committee believes that institutes of higher learning, 
laboratories, and other entities and organizations play 
critical roles in advancing national security within the U.S. 
science and technology ecosystem that is charged with 
delivering the best capabilities to the warfighter in the near, 
mid, and long-term. The Committee understands that near-peer 
competitors such as China and Russia attempt to exploit and 
benefit from the open and collaborative global research 
environment created by the Reagan Administration's National 
Security Decision Directive 189 on the National Policy on the 
transfer of Scientific, Technical and Engineering Information, 
which established that the products of ``fundamental 
research''--defined as ``basic and applied research in science 
and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published 
and shared''--should re-main unrestricted.
    The Committee is also aware that academia is not always 
kept apprised by the interagency of a complete picture of 
potential activities and threats in the research community, 
such as improper technology transfer, intellectual property 
theft, and cyber-attacks directly affiliated with nation-state 
governments. Elsewhere in this bill and report, the Committee 
includes measures to promote increased information sharing 
across the interagency and with academia.
    The Committee therefore directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
House of Representatives and Congressional Intelligence 
Committees, not later than January 1, 2020, a report listing 
Chinese and Russian academic institutions that have a history 
of improper technology transfer, intellectual property theft, 
cyber espionage, or operate under the direction of their 
respective armed forces or intelligence agencies. The report 
should be in unclassified form, though it may contain a 
classified annex.

Congressional Notification

    The Secretary of Defense maintains a responsibility to keep 
the congressional intelligence and defense committees fully and 
currently informed of all defense intelligence capabilities and 
activities to support DOD operational strategic requirements. 
The Committee is aware that the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Intelligence (USDI) issued a memorandum in January 2017 
providing guidance to defense intelligence components on the 
necessity of providing timely and accurate notification to 
Congress of all defense intelligence and counterintelligence 
activities.
    The Committee supports additional efforts to enhance the 
Department's ability to provide timely, comprehensive, and 
accurate congressional intelligence notification of 
intelligence and counterintelligence activities by the defense 
intelligence components listed in the January 2017 memorandum, 
to include; the Deputy Chief of staff for Intelligence, U.S. 
Army; Deputy Chief of staff for Intelligence, Surveillance and 
reconnaissance, U.S. Air Force; Director of Naval Intelligence, 
U.S. Navy; Directors of Intelligence, Combatant Commands; 
Director, NSA; Director, DIA; Director, NGA; Director, NRO; 
Director, Defense Security Service; and designated DOD 
officials as reporting officials for defense intelligence and 
counterintelligence.
    Therefore, the Committee directs each of the Defense 
Intelligence Components listed in the January 2017 memo to 
provide, in writing, their internal guidance and delineated 
compliance to the principles of timeliness of reporting, means 
of reporting, completeness and accuracy of reporting as well as 
to outline any restrictions, complications or limiting factors, 
in fully satisfying the direction and intent of the Defense 
Intelligence Component Reporting of Defense Intelligence and 
Counterintelligence Activities Memorandum. For those elements 
that are also IC elements, written explanation shall include 
relevant processes and coordination with the ODNI.
    The Committee further directs the USD(I) to provide a 
briefing to the intelligence and defense committees by October 
4, 2019, on DOD's current congressional notification policies 
and procedures regarding defense intelligence activities and 
support by defense intelligence components supporting DOD. The 
briefing shall include:
          1. Plans to strengthen this notification process by 
        the defense intelligence components, to include 
        notification of new and updated intelligence-sharing 
        arrangements and basic exchange and cooperation 
        agreements with second- and third-party international 
        allies and partners to support DOD requirements; and
          2. A description of current and planned coordination 
        efforts with the interagency, specifically the ODNI, to 
        include any dispute resolution processes in regard to 
        conflicting use of defense intelligence capabilities to 
        support defense priorities and objectives.

Strengthening the Integrity of the MIP

    The Committee recognizes the Department of Defense's (DOD) 
efforts to comply with the direction in the committee report 
accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2019 (H. Rept. 115-676) to review the Military 
Intel1igence Program (MIP) budget to more clearly define 
guidance about which programs, projects, or activities should 
be assigned to the MIP. The Committee supports the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence's action to enhance DOD's 
ability to make more informed decisions to balance appropriate 
resourcing against program, projects, or activities on behalf 
of the Secretary of Defense, while strengthening the overall 
integrity of the MIP.

Reviewing the Integrated Defense Intelligence Priorities

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense is a 
major provider of intelligence capabilities to the intelligence 
community, as well as a major consumer of intelligence 
information. The committee is aware of the operational 
constraints on the joint force that using the National 
Intelligence Priorities Framework to guide the allocation of 
Defense Intelligence Enterprise assets presents, especially for 
those that are integral to warfighting functions. The committee 
is concerned that the Integrated Defense Intelligence 
Priorities (IDIP) activity is not providing the intelligence 
support to defense operations that section 922 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-
66) intended.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services and House Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence by December 27, 2019, with the 
current status of the IDIP activity, how the IDIP highlights 
gaps in defense and national intelligence priorities, and the 
measures in place to mitigate these gaps. The briefing shall 
also include details on why the IDIP is distinct from the 
National Intelligence Priorities Framework, an activity in 
which IDIP customers currently participate. Finally, the 
briefing shall also include a recommendation on whether the 
Department of Defense will continue or suspend the IDIP 
requirement.

Section 804 Authority

    The Fiscal Year 2018 National Defense Amendments Act 
provided DOD accelerated acquisition authority under Section 
804. This authority enhances the ability to streamline a number 
of processes within the acquisition structure.
    The Committee supports effective and efficient acquisition 
of military intelligence platforms, though wants to ensure this 
authority is being used in instances where it can be most 
effective.
    Therefore, the Committee directs DOD to provide a list of 
those acquisition programs funded in whole or in part with MIP 
that are utilizing authorities under Section 804. The list 
should be provided to the intelligence and defense committees 
by December 15, 2019.

Budget Track Presentation

    It is important the military services have visibility on 
all Congressional action which may impact their programs and 
platforms. The Committee supports a robust and continuing 
dialog with DOD on intelligence programs.
    The budget roll outs are an important inflection point in 
the dialog between the Congress and DOD. It has been the case 
that DOD and the Services have not had the complete picture of 
Congressional action and intent.
    Therefore, the Committee directs that budget presentation 
materials track action from all committees on jurisdiction, be 
they within the MIP or NIP. Materials should be updated as 
necessary and ready for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 budget cycle 
and presentations.

Comprehensive Assessment of the Roles, Responsibilities, and 
        Organization of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense 
        for Intelligence

    The Committee recognizes the importance of the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence's (USD(I)) management and 
oversight of the Defense Intelligence Enterprise, and commends 
the Under Secretary's continued efforts to mature the 
organization's support to the operational requirements and 
strategic priorities of the Secretary of Defense. However, the 
committee notes the shift in priorities and focus of the Office 
of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (OUSD(I)), 
and potential impacts to the organization's ability to 
effectively execute oversight of the policy, processes, and 
procedures that guide the Department of Defense's intelligence 
organizations. The committee further acknowledges that the 
USD(I) is the principal advisor to the Secretary of Defense and 
the Deputy Secretary of Defense for all intelligence, 
intelligence-related, counterintelligence, and security 
matters, and is responsible for exercising authority, 
direction, and control over all associated defense intelligence 
organizations and activities.
    Since the establishment of the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Intelligence (USD(I)) by the Bob Stump National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314), 
the roles and responsibilities assigned to the position and 
office continue to evolve. In 2018, the Deputy Secretary of 
Defense augmented the responsibilities of USD(I) to include the 
protection of Department of Defense physical properties and 
personnel. Additionally, the committee further clarified the 
security related responsibilities of USD(I) in the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
(Public Law 115-232) to include enterprise-wide management and 
execution of the planning and resourcing for the personnel, 
physical, and industrial security components of the Department 
of Defense, as well as the protections required of Department 
classified information and controlled unclassified information. 
Most recently, in April 2019, the President directed the 
transfer of personnel background investigations from the 
National Background Investigations Bureau to the Office of the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (OUSD(I)), 
inclusive of the transition of associated operations, 
personnel, and resources.
    As a result, the Defense Security Service, an organization 
responsible to the USD(I), will be renamed the Defense 
Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) and will serve 
as the primary federal entity for conducting background 
investigations for the federal government. DCSA will also 
execute the responsibilities relating to continuous evaluation, 
insider threat programs, and any other responsibilities 
assigned to it by the Secretary of Defense. As such, the 
committee is interested in better understanding how these 
recent developments might impact the roles and responsibilities 
of OUSD(I), and the ability of the organization to execute 
objective oversight and management of the Defense Intelligence 
Enterprise, as the organization continues to balance the range 
of priorities specified by the National Defense Strategy.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Comptroller General 
of the United States provide the congressional defense and 
intelligence committees with an assessment of the roles, 
missions, and responsibilities of Office of the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Intelligence. The assessment should include 
details regarding USD(I)'s roles and responsibilities, if and 
how they have changed, and how the USD(I) addressed these 
changes; to what extent has the USD(I) developed processes for 
exercising authority, direction, and control over the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise (DIE); actions the USD(I) has taken to 
adapt its approach to executing oversight and governance of the 
DIE, to include resource management across the aligned defense 
intelligence agencies; and to what extent the USD(I) has 
identified any misalignment of its roles and responsibilities 
regarding the DIE and efforts made to address such mismatch.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services and House Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence on preliminary findings with a report to follow to 
the congressional defense and intelligence committees no later 
than April 30, 2020.

Development and Integration of Project MAVEN Services

    The Committee believes in the importance of developing 
artificial intelligence capabilities to enhance and augment 
execution of Defense Intelligence Enterprise (DIE) activities 
in support of DOD priorities. Activities such as Project MAVEN 
are important efforts to modernize intelligence tradecraft and 
develop capabilities that can create efficiencies across the 
DIE and enhance effectiveness of defense operations. However, 
the Committee is concerned about the broad scope of Project 
MAVEN, and the totality of requirements increasingly levied 
against the activity, without a comprehensive understanding of 
the key milestones to track and measure progress and alignment 
of MAVEN accomplishments against evolving DOD capabilities and 
activities.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the USD(I) to provide a 
briefing to the congressional intelligence and defense 
committees by January 3, 2020 on Project MAVEN's strategy for 
tracking and aligning the activity's milestones against key DIE 
efforts, such as the Defense Intelligence Agency's Machine-
assisted Analytic Rapid-repository System (MARS) and the 
service-wide Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS), and 
continued development of Department of Defense advanced 
analytic tradecraft and foundational intelligence against 
advance weapons systems and capabilities.

Governance of Data and Service Acquisitions Supporting Defense 
        Intelligence Requirements

    The committee recognizes initiatives across the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise to collect, analyze, and share data to 
support critical foundation intelligence mission needs through 
various modernization initiatives like Project Maven and the 
Machine-assisted Analytic Rapid-repository System (MARS). 
However, the committee is concerned there is a lack of 
coordination and alignment of individual activities ongoing 
throughout the enterprise.
    The committee lacks a comprehensive understanding of how 
data, information, and services procured in support of defense 
intelligence requirements are tracked, governed, and made 
available across the enterprise. The committee is concerned 
that as defense intelligence organizations move to cloud-based 
data management infrastructures, there is not enough emphasis 
on deconflicting these efforts to maximize investment and use 
across the enterprise and foreign partner coalitions. The 
committee notes that every effort should be made to ensure 
acquisition strategies that support these procurements make 
these products and services available to the entire enterprise, 
including U.S. allies and partners.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services and House Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence not later than December 6, 2019, on 
an enterprise level strategy for data, information, and 
services acquisitions. The briefing shall detail a strategy to 
ensure these acquisitions are widely available across the 
Defense Intelligence Enterprise, thus reducing duplicative 
investments and creating efficiencies in the acquisition and 
capability management process.

MAVEN Senior Steering Group

    Project MAVEN is one of the leading US government programs 
leveraging commercial technology, however neither the MAVEN 
Senior Steering Group or the MAVEN Executive Steering Group 
have representatives from the commercial sector.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the MAVEN team to 
establish a position for a senior commercial executive as an 
advisor on the Senior Steering Group. The appointment shall be 
for no longer than a period of two years. Such individual shall 
comply with MAVEN conflict of interest protocols, file 
necessary and required documents, and may not maintain a 
financial interest in any company with a current MAVEN 
contract.

Investments in Scientific and Technological Intelligence

    The Committee remains interested in the continued efforts 
of the Department of Defense to improve scientific and 
technological intelligence (S&TI) capabilities and tradecraft 
across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise. The Committee 
recognizes S&TI is critical to strategic competition with near-
peer competitors by ensuring comprehensive understanding of 
adversary capabilities and ability to inform development of 
joint force fifth-generation advanced weapons systems and other 
emerging technologies.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence in collaboration with the Director of 
the Defense Intelligence Agency, to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services and House Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence by December 6, 2019, on the alignment 
of current and planned Defense Intelligence Enterprise S&TI 
investments and activities to Department of Defense operational 
and strategic requirements.
    The briefing shall also include information on how the 
Department of Defense will continue the maturation of S&TI 
capabilities and tradecraft across the Defense Intelligence 
Enterprise.

Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities Program

    The Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities Program 
(TENCAP) services as the centralized lead to identify and 
execute national intelligence cross-agency solutions to 
evaluate, enhance, prototype, and transition technologies 
across the national intelligence enterprise into military 
service systems and architectures to create tactical 
intelligence effects. The Committee supports TENCAP and the 
flexibility these programs require to mature, but believes that 
DOD must develop metrics for measuring the impact of affiliated 
and incubated programs, to more accurately capture which 
activities and capabilities have successfully transitioned to 
programs of record and substantiate effectiveness of the joint 
force. Further, the Committee notes that failure is an 
intrinsic, and sometimes necessary component of the innovation 
process, and does not necessarily view failure to transition to 
a program of record as a negative issue.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the directors of 
the military service TENCAP offices, to provide a briefing to 
the intelligence and defense committees by October 29, 2019 on 
the plan to develop track, and evaluate metrics associated with 
the TENCAP program for those projects which transition to a 
program of record.

Intelligence Support to Defense Operations in the Information 
        Environment

    The committee supports Department of Defense efforts to 
improve capabilities and tradecraft to operate in the 
information environment. The committee is concerned about the 
Defense Intelligence Enterprise's (DIE) ability to provide the 
information operations community with all-source intelligence 
support, consistent with the support provided to operations in 
other domains.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the Joint Staff 
Director for Intelligence and the Director of National 
Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services and House Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence by November 1, 2019, on intelligence support to 
information operations. The briefing should include 
standardized defense intelligence lexicon for intelligence 
preparation of the battlefield for information operations, 
efforts to develop a process to ensure the full scope of 
emerging defense information operations threat requirements are 
structured to be addressed through the entirety of DIE 
capabilities, and how the Department perceives the future of 
defense operations in the information environment.
    The briefing shall also include a description of how the 
national intelligence community, through the National 
Intelligence Priorities Framework, will account for a more 
dynamic use of defense intelligence capabilities to augment and 
enhance support to Department of Defense operations in the 
information environment.

ROTC IC Recruitment Trial Program

    The Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program, 
with units or affiliates at approximately 1,600 U.S. colleges 
and universities, is DOD's largest commissioning source, 
providing approximately 6,500 new active duty officers to the 
military each year.
    Officer candidates enrolled in ROTC programs must meet all 
graduation requirements of their academic institutions, enroll 
in military, naval, or aerospace education courses, and attend 
summer military training, making them ideal candidates for IC 
placement. Currently, ROTC cadets only have the option to 
utilize their training by joining one of the military services. 
The Committee believes the government can find cost savings and 
provide a wider range of opportunities to ROTC recruits by 
leveraging the ROTC's existing training program for the IC.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the USDI, in coordination 
with ODNI, to conduct a feasibility study on creating a pathway 
for ROTC recruits to find job placement in the IC, on a 
reimbursable basis. The study should examine:
          1. Pros and cons of instituting an ROTC IC 
        recruitment pipeline;
          2. Approximate reimbursement cost per recruit; and
          3. Legislative requirements for program execution.
    The study results must be submitted via report to the 
intelligence and defense committees by December 15, 2019.

Explosive Ordinance Disposal Intelligence

    The Committee is concerned that the expertise of Explosive 
Ordinance Disposal (EOD) personnel is not adequately accessible 
and therefore, not sufficiently utilized by the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise and IC to provide the combatant 
commands with the required intelligence to identify, combat, 
and deter violent extremism and other asymmetric threats.
    Explosive ordnance includes all munitions, improvised 
explosive devices, devices containing explosives, propellants, 
nuclear fission or fusion materials, biological, and chemical 
agents. The primary consumer of this information are military 
tactical explosive ordnance disposal units that employ the data 
for threat identification and neutralization. However, the 
required analysis to determine appropriate render-safe 
capabilities requires operational and strategic intelligence to 
process and analyze the data, and data management processes to 
promulgate the resulting information. The Committee believes 
DOD should modernize the processes and procedures to more 
comprehensively track, manage, and coordinate the capability 
and capacity of EOD intelligence within the IC and the DIE to 
support all levels of render-safe capabilities.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Undersecretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the DNI, to 
provide a briefing to the congressional intelligence and 
defense committees by March 6, 2020 on the capability and 
capacity of EOD intelligence expertise across the DIE and IC. 
The briefing shall include:
  1. An assessment of the coordination and integration of 
defense and national intelligence capabilities against EOD 
intelligence requirements, to include a mitigation strategy to 
address any identified gaps or deficiencies, information-
sharing challenges, or any other impediments to integration of 
EOD expertise across the defense and intelligence communities; 
and
  2. An assessment of the technical skills needed to address 
EOD intelligence requirements, while identifying any gaps or 
deficiencies in current personnel hiring and training 
structures, and a long-term plan to develop proficiency of EOD 
intelligence expertise in the defense and intelligence 
communities.

Information-Sharing Arrangements with India, Japan, and the Republic of 
        Korea

    International alliances and partnerships are critical to 
the pursuit and sustainment of the United States national 
security objectives, built upon foundations of shared values 
and intent. The Committee recognizes the importance of the 
Department of Defense sharing information with international 
allies and partners in support of the planning and execution of 
the National Defense Strategy, as allies and third-party 
international partners enhance strategic stability across the 
Department's purview while increasing effectiveness of 
operations. The Committee believes the mechanisms to share 
information across the ``Five Eyes'' alliance continue to 
mature through established exercises, exchange of personnel, 
and virtual data sharing, while that cooperation is potentially 
less robust with third-party partners.
    The Committee supports the roles and contributions of 
third-party partners such as India, Japan, and the Republic of 
Korea, and recognizes their ongoing contribution toward 
maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. The 
Committee is interested in understanding the policies and 
procedures governing the collaboration and information sharing 
with India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the ``Five Eyes'' 
alliance, and if opportunities exist to strengthen those 
arrangements.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the Director of 
National Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services and House Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence by December 1, 2019, on the benefits, 
challenges, and risks of broadening the information-sharing 
mechanisms between India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the 
``Five Eyes'' alliance.

Transitioning the Function of Background Investigations to the 
        Department of Defense

    Presidential Executive Order 13869 transitions the 
background investigation functions of the Federal Government 
from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), National 
Background Investigations Bureau, to the Department of Defense, 
Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency. The committee 
recognizes the importance of ensuring timely and efficient 
background investigations to overcome workforce staffing 
challenges of cleared individuals across the whole of 
government and private sector, and to vet personnel who come 
into contact with the Department's personnel, installations, 
and technology. The committee is aware of the temporary 
establishment of the Personnel Vetting Transformation Office in 
the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence 
to manage the transition of this activity from OPM to the 
Department and improve the processes and procedures related to 
vetting personnel for clearances across the whole of government 
and private sector.
    However, the Committee is concerned about the potential 
risks to personnel management and mission such a transfer may 
present, and believes that appropriate protections of civil 
liberties and privacy must be prioritized throughout the 
transition, through the implementation of modern and efficient 
vetting measures. The Committee recognizes the Department's 
leadership, through sharing best practices with the Office of 
the Director of National Intelligence, in reforming the vetting 
process using modern techniques such as continuous evaluation, 
and expects regular updates on the Department's progress in 
addressing the current background investigations backlog.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the Director of 
the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services and House 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by December 27, 
2019, on how the Department of Defense will transfer the 
background investigation mission and establish an effective 
personnel vetting capability to provide for the security of the 
Department, while maintaining the civil liberties and privacy 
protections of personnel under consideration to receive a 
clearance.

Language Capability and Capacity

    The Committee has long supported a robust Army training 
language capability and capacity and renews that support in 
light of the new National Defense Strategy and pivot to hard 
targets. As is the rest of DOD and the IC, the Army is 
challenged to meet the language requirement of 2+/2+ as set out 
by the National Language Board.
    Therefore, the Committee directs DOD to prioritize language 
capability and fully execute the 2+/2+ Plan requirement. The 
Committee further directs that OSDPR brief the committee on any 
limiting factors on implementing the 2+/2+ Plan and intended 
steps for mitigation which shall be briefed to the intelligence 
and defense committees by October 29, 2019.

Terrestrial Layer System

    The Committee has questions about what capabilities the TLS 
will incorporate and how the platform will balance its signals 
intelligence, electronic warfare, and cyber operations 
capabilities.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Army to provide a 
report and briefing on changes to the Army's doctrine, 
organization, training, material, leadership, education, 
personnel and facilities required to develop, procure and 
employ the Terrestrial Layer System. The report and briefing 
should be provided to the intelligence and defense committees 
by December 15, 2019.

Triton Multi-Intelligence Fleet

    Critical to the Triton unmanned aerial system is the 
milestone C update, which added multi-INT capability to the key 
system attributes. The FY 2020 funding supports aircraft and 
ground station kit procurements for the Triton Multi INT 
configuration and resources required to complete modification 
of the fleet to a Multi-INT capability.
    Regrettably, the retrofit to Multi-INT for Low rate initial 
production 1 and Low rate initial production 2 slipped from 3QT 
FY18 to 4th QT 19. This slip represents an unacceptable delay 
of crucial Multi-INT capability for the fleet, particularly in 
the face of increasing focus on the Pacific. There is little 
which can be done to buy back the schedule; however, the Multi-
INT capability remains a priority for the Committee and should 
be aggressively pursued by the Navy.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Navy to immediately 
notify the intelligence and defense committees of any potential 
delay fielding the Multi-INT capability to the Triton fleet.

Future of Cable Laying and Repair

    The USNS ZEUS is the Navy's only cable laying and repair 
ship and is nearing the end of its service life. The USNS ZEUS 
is a key component of the Integrated Undersea Surveillance 
System with primary missions to transport, deploy, retrieve and 
repair submarine cables and test underwater sound devices and 
secondary missions to conduct acoustic, hydrographic and 
bathymetric surveys. The T-ARC(X) supports the fixed 
surveillance systems and are a key part of the IUSS.
    A Cable Capacity Study in 2015 and Maritime Surveillance 
System Capacity Study completed in 2017 determined that two T-
ARC's are required to meet US Government worldwide demand. 
However, the USNS ZEUS decommission date of 2026 and the 
bridging solution of a long term charter ships is only leased 
through 2024, leaving cable laying and ship repair requirements 
unmet.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Navy to provide to the 
intelligence and defense committees its plan to meet the 
current and future for cable laying and repair requirements by 
October 29, 2019.

Maritime Surveillance Evolution Plan

    The Navy is undertaking a comprehensive review of the 
future of maritime surveillance. This plan is critical to 
understanding the needs of the Navy as they relate to maritime 
surveillance.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Navy to deliver the 
report to the congressional intelligence and defense committees 
within 30 days of completion and signature of the Maritime 
Surveillance Evolution Plan.

RQ-21 Blackjack

    The Committee has long supported aggressive development and 
deployment of the RQ-21 Blackjack system, including approving 
reprogramming funds for development of a v3 next generation 
engine. The capability differences between the v2 and v3 engine 
are significant and delay in the v3 engine remains a limiting 
factor for more expansive deployment of the RQ-21 Blackjack. 
The Committee is additionally concerned about divergent 
requirements for capability for the RQ-21 which may be 
detracting from development of the next generation engine.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Navy to provide to the 
intelligence and defense committees the timeline for 
development, integration and deployment of the v3 engine noting 
limiting factors and suggested mitigation.

Recapitalization of Navy Reserve P-3C Squadrons

    The budget request contained $1.2 billion for six P-8A 
Poseidon aircraft. The budget request for fiscal year 2020 did 
not take into account the increased warfighter requirement of 
21 additional P-- 8A aircraft. This increase is driven by the 
proliferation of adversarial submarine fleets and their 
increasingly active operational tempo. The new requirement 
includes 12 aircraft to recapitalize the two maritime patrol 
and reconnaissance squadrons assigned to the Navy Reserve. 
These squadrons currently operate legacy P-3C Orion aircraft 
and the Chief of Navy Reserve estimates they will decommission 
by 2023 unless they are outfitted with new aircraft. The 
Committee is encouraged by the Navy's recognition of the Navy 
Reserve force and the contribution they can provide to the 
increased requirement for the P-8A. However, the Committee was 
discouraged that the Navy failed to budget for the additional 
aircraft to meet the warfighting requirement.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by March 
1, 2020, that outlines a plan to recapitalize the two Navy 
Reserve squadrons with P-8A aircraft prior to 2023. The 
briefing should include estimated acquisition costs, 
acquisition timelines, aircraft fielding schedules, and 
manpower impacts to the Navy Reserve. The committee also notes 
that this information should have been briefed at the beginning 
of the budget cycle.

Navy Research Lab FAR Requirements

    The Committee is concerned that government programs too 
often compete with widely available commercial technological 
solutions, and in some cases work to duplicate existing and 
more advanced commercial capabilities. Often, government 
programs are underperforming, lacking capability, missing 
delivery milestones, and vastly more expensive than commercial 
solutions. Perhaps most concerning, this practice almost always 
increases the time it takes to deliver new capabilities to the 
warfighter.
    In particular, Navy Research Labs (NRL) 7442 Geospatial 
Computing Section has several programs that are competing with 
commercial industry, even in some cases responding to mission 
user requirements to provide a ``company X-like capability''. 
The Committee is disturbed by such overt duplication of 
commercial capabilities. Not only does this create a barrier to 
entry for innovative small businesses and non-traditional 
companies, the markedly higher expense of organic government 
programs-which include labor, benefits, infrastructure, 
hardware, sustainment, operations and maintenance, and 
cybersecurity-does a disservice to the American taxpayer.
    The Federal Acquisition Regulations System (FAR) aims to 
address this issue, by requiring participants in the 
acquisition process to deliver on a timely basis the best value 
product or service to the customer, while maintaining the 
public's trust and fulfilling policy objectives by: maximizing 
the use of commercial products and services; using contractors 
who have a track record of successful past performance or who 
demonstrate a current superior ability to perform; promoting 
competition; minimizing administrative operating costs; and 
conducting business with integrity, fairness, and openness.
    Therefore, the Committee expects that authorities within 
the IC and DOD adhere to the FAR when making acquisition 
decisions.
    Furthermore, the Committee directs NRL to brief the 
congressional intelligence and defense committees on its 
identification of all NRL developed software programs and 
elaborate reasoning for these organically developed programs, 
vice leveraging commercially available products. Briefing shall 
be completed by October 29, 2019.

Agile Operations Visualization

    The Air Force has made great strides in utilizing agile 
operations development for a variety of their programs, 
including Distributed Common Ground System-Air Force. Agile 
Operations create a nimble model for acquisition and 
flexibility in programming and fielding capability.
    However, the Air Force still struggles to represent the 
acquisition updates on the traditional waterfall chart. Failure 
to effectively display and explain the agile operations 
environment creates confusion and potentially a failure to 
accurately reflect changes in schedule and performance.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Air Force to create a 
new format to represent and visualize programs which utilize 
agile development models. Materials should be ready for the FY 
2021 budget cycle and presentation.

Compass Call

    The Air Force has made the decision to re-host the COMPASS 
CALL mission from a C-130 aircraft to a commercial aircraft. In 
addition, the mission will be 100% contractor logistics 
support.
    The implications of the re-host include increased costs for 
logistics support, requirement of Federal Aviation Certificates 
and potential challenges from transitioning a large aircraft to 
a smaller platform. Additionally, there may be a capability or 
capacity decrease in the intervening years during the 
transition.
    Therefore, the Committee directs a report on the transition 
between platforms for the COMPASS CALL mission, due to the 
intelligence and defense committees by December 15, 2019.

Unified Air Force Airborne Signals Intelligence Enterprise

    The Committee notes the goal of the Air Force Airborne 
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Enterprise (ASE) program is to 
produce an integrated, service-wide, capability-focused SIGINT 
architecture and investment strategy for the U.S. Air Force 
(USAF). However, the committee observes that while investment 
in the ASE program has produced significant advances in Air 
Force SIGINT capability, particularly within the RC-135 Rivet 
Joint program, the establishment of a true integrated airborne 
SIGINT enterprise architecture continues to elude the USAF. The 
committee is aware that significant capability gaps exist in 
MQ-9 SIGINT sensor relevancy against current threats, and the 
Air Force has not yet successfully addressed vanishing vendor 
issues with the high-altitude Airborne Signals Intelligence 
Payload (ASIP) program. Additionally, the USAF has not yet 
achieved a unified enterprise for SIGINT processing, 
exploitation, and dissemination (PED), despite having a 
distributed technical architecture within both the RC-135 Rivet 
Joint and Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF-DCGS) 
programs. The committee believes the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Intelligence should lead synchronization efforts with the 
intelligence community to integrate like data sources to enable 
more comprehensive analysis and exploitation on behalf of the 
military services.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Air Force to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services and House 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by March 1, 2020, 
containing the Air Force's vision, strategy, and implementation 
plan to utilize Air Force airborne SIGINT program resources to 
establish a unified airborne SIGINT enterprise based on shared 
joint and intelligence community standards. The committee looks 
forward to additional clarification on how this enterprise will 
allow RC-135, U-2, RQ-4, MQ-9, Air Force DCGS SIGINT systems, 
and future SIGINT capabilities to operate as an integrated 
enterprise using cloud-based technologies and distributed crew 
concepts to directly deliver SIGINT data to the joint force 
from a global Air Force SIGINT system.

OC-135B Open Skies Treaty aircraft recapitalization

    The Committee notes that the current fleet of OC-135B 
aircraft conducting the Open Skies Treaty flights are over 55 
years old and experience significant sustainment and 
reliability issues, resulting in an average mission completion 
rate of 65 percent between 2007 and 2017. Further, the range of 
the legacy OC-135 aircraft is insufficient to fully execute 
mission options within the treaty's 96-hour in-country 
observation period. In addition to maintenance and range 
limitations, the current wet-film imaging used to collect data 
will become obsolete sometime around 2022. To avoid any gap in 
Open Skies Treaty collection capability, the committee supports 
the Air Force's plan to upgrade the fleet with digital visual 
imaging systems (DVIS) for the near-term, and ultimately 
replace the OC-135 Open Skies aircraft with two commercially-
available small airliner class aircraft with integrated DVIS 
sensors.
    The committee supports recapitalization of the OC-35 but 
remains concerned about the Air Force's ability to stay on 
schedule and meet the fiscal year 2022 aircraft certification 
and treaty compliance date. Unanticipated technical challenges 
with the DVIS sensors have already affected the schedule and 
could cause additional delays if not remedied soon.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence 
by October 1, 2019, on the Open Skies Treaty aircraft 
recapitalization. The report shall include:
          1. an assessment of the DVIS data technical package 
        maturity and the cost and feasibility of integrating it 
        onto the replacement commercial aircraft;
          2. the plan for and status of developing or acquiring 
        associated ground processing systems;
          3. the plan for management of programmatic risk and 
        an assessment of the ability to meet the fiscal year 
        2022 deadline for an upgraded, treaty-compliant system;
          4. existing or planned mitigation options should the 
        Air Force not be able to achieve current DVIS and 
        treaty compliance milestones, and should there be any 
        future delay to the upgrade or replacement of the OC-
        135; and
          5. a copy of any assessment conducted by an 
        independent organization employed by the program for 
        technical assistance.

Budget Implications of the C4 Restructure

    The Committee supports the restructure of the Marines' C4 
apparatus, which integrates intelligence and operations. 
However, the Committee has concerns about the impact on the 
agility of those intelligence activities.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Marine Corps to 
provide to the intelligence and defense committees for the 
implementation for the C4 Restructure to include budget 
implications for the future year defense plan by October 29, 
2019.

Security Certificate Requirements for DCGS-MC

    Distributed Common Ground System--Marine Corps provides 
core critical information for military intelligence corps. 
DCGS-MC must stay compliant with cyber security certifications 
and requirements to operate on the network. Schedule for 
waivers and tech refresh. Staying current with dynamic cyber 
threats and rapid updates to certifications can be 
accomplished, however may impact the ability to properly budget 
effectively to stay current in certifications.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Marines to provide and 
brief the DCGS cyber security certificate requirement for the 
future year defense plan (FYDP) to the congressional 
intelligence and defense committees by October 29, 2019.

Joint Intelligence Operations Center Staffing

    The Committee recognizes the evolving operational and 
strategic priorities of the Department of Defense will impact 
Defense Intelligence Enterprise capabilities and resources. The 
committee recognizes the ongoing efforts by the Under Secretary 
for Intelligence (USDI) to comply with direction specified by 
the John. S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) to reduce and prevent 
imbalances in priorities and mitigate against insufficient or 
misaligned resources within the Defense Intelligence 
Enterprise.
    While the Committee supports the efforts by the USDI to 
create efficiencies across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise 
organizations, to include the Service Intelligence Centers and 
combatant command Joint Operations Intelligence Centers, and 
enable those elements to plan and posture staffing requirements 
accordingly, the committee is concerned that the shifts in 
current and future resourcing are lacking coherence to support 
the global mandate of the Department.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Undersecretary for 
Defense Intelligence, in coordination with DIA, to provide a 
briefing to the congressional intelligence and defense 
committees by December 27, 2019 on how the Office of the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and DIA are managing 
resourcing requirements to the combatant command Joint 
Intelligence Operations Centers to meet current and future 
needs of the combatant commanders and DOD.

China's Biological Weapons Program

    The Committee remains interested in ensuring the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise is providing timely, accurate, and 
effective intelligence to support information needs of the 
Department of Defense, and is aware of a recent Government 
Accountability Office report on long-range emerging threats 
facing the United States that highlighted potential pursuit by 
near-peer competitors of biological weapons using genetic 
engineering and synthetic biology.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the Director of 
the Defense Intelligence Agency, to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services and House Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence by November 1, 2019, on an assessment 
of China's current and projected biological weapons program, 
the risks presented to the joint force, and the mitigation 
strategies to protect U.S. military forces against said 
threats.

Machine-assisted Analytic Rapid Repository System Government 
        Accountability Office Review

    The re-emergence of great power competition will stress 
DIA's ability to provide foundational military intelligence for 
the IC and warfighters. As such, the Committee is supportive of 
DIA's intent to replace the Modernized Integrated Database 
(MIDB) with the Machine-assisted Analytic Rapid Repository 
System (MARS).
    However, the Committee is concerned that DIA has not 
completed an information technology development and procurement 
project of this scope in the thirty years since MIDB's 
adoption. MARS's development and procurement will entail a 
complex and extensive transformation that will impact the DIA's 
delivery of foundational military intelligence.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) to provide a report to the 
congressional intelligence and defense committees no later than 
September 30, 2020 that describes:
          1. The envisioned MIDB users and customer base and 
        how they would use the repository;
          2. The extent to which DIA has gathered input from 
        current and historic MIDB users, as well as customers 
        about the capabilities that will be needed for the 
        transition to MARS;
          3. The extent to which DIA has planned for MARS's 
        expected new capabilities and the corresponding 
        resources, to include funding and personnel 
        implications;
          4. DIA's acquisition strategy for MARS to include the 
        use of any rapid acquisition or prototyping 
        authorities;
          5. The extent to which DIA has identified challenges, 
        if any, that it will face in transitioning from MIDB to 
        MARS, and whether it has developed mitigation plans for 
        addressing any of these challenges.
    The Committee expects DIA's full cooperation with the GAO 
study.

The National Intelligence University

    In the 115th Congress, the Committee recommended that DIA 
transfer ancillary, though vital enterprise functions, such as 
operation of the National Intelligence University (NIU) to the 
Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). The 
Committee is aware the NIU will transfer to ODNI in FY 2021 and 
is supportive of that effort.
    However, the Committee is concerned that DIA will be unable 
to complete the transfer during fiscal year 2021 due to the 
unique role NIU serves within DOD's officer education system.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the DNI, in consultation 
with the USD(I) and Director of DIA, to submit a report with 
its FY 2021 budget request outlining the DIA to ODNI NIU 
transition plan. At a minimum the report must provide a 
timeline for the NIU transition, identify any statutory changes 
required to support the transition, and assess risks to 
completion of the transfer to include actions ODNI, DOD, or DIA 
have taken to mitigate identified risks.

Update on the DIA Strategic Approach

    In September 2018, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) 
adopted a Strategic Approach to enhance workforce development, 
improve foundational military intelligence data management, 
address perennial intelligence issues and realign roles and 
missions. Improvements in these issue areas will enhance the 
Agency's ability to support both the National Security Strategy 
and National Defense Strategy.
    The Committee supports the DIA's initiative to improve 
those structures it assesses are critical to providing 
warfighters the information needed to prevent and, if 
necessary, decisively win wars, such as intelligence on foreign 
militaries' capabilities.
    Therefore, the Committee directs DIA to provide quarterly 
briefings to the Congressional intelligence and defense 
committees on its efforts to enhance workforce development, 
improve foundational military intelligence data management, 
address perennial intelligence issues and realign roles and 
missions.

   Unclassified Direction to Accompany Division B: The Intelligence 
           Authorization Acts for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019


Management of Intelligence Community Workforce

    The Committee repeats direction from the Intelligence 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 that IC elements should 
build, develop, and maintain a workforce appropriately balanced 
among its civilian, military, and contractor workforce sectors 
to meet the missions assigned to it in law and by the 
president. Starting in Fiscal Year 2019, the Committees no 
longer authorize position ceiling levels in the annual Schedule 
of Authorizations.
    The Committees look forward to working with the Office of 
the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) as it develops an 
implementation strategy and sets standards for workforce cost 
analysis tools.

Countering Russian Propaganda

    The Committee supports the IC's role in countering Russian 
propaganda and other active measures. The Committee is 
committed to providing the appropriate legal authorities, 
financial resources, and personnel necessary to address these 
hostile acts. The Committee specifically finds that language 
capabilities are important to the IC's efforts in countering 
Russia's hostile acts. The Committee encourages the IC to 
commit considerable resources in the future to bolstering 
officers' existing Russian language skills, recruiting Russian 
language speakers, and training officers in Russian, in 
particular key technical language skills. This effort will 
require strategic planning both in recruiting and rotating 
officers through language training. The Committee expects to 
see these priorities reflected in future IC budget requests.

Protection of the Supply Chain in Intelligence Community Acquisition 
        Decisions

    The Committee continues to have significant concerns about 
risks to the supply chain in IC acquisitions. The report to 
accompany the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2017 directed the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to 
review and consider changes to Intelligence Community Directive 
(ICD) 801 (``Acquisition'') to reflect issuance in 2013 of ICD 
731 (``Supply Chain Risk Management'') and issues associated 
with cybersecurity. It specifically recommended the review 
examine whether to: expand risk management criteria in the 
acquisition process to include cyber and supply chain threats; 
require counterintelligence and security assessments as part of 
the acquisition and procurement process; propose and adopt new 
education requirements for acquisition professionals on cyber 
and supply chain threats; and factor in the cost of cyber and 
supply chain security. This review was due in November 2017, 
with a report on the process for updating ICD 801 in December 
2017. The report was completed on June 18, 2018.
    As a follow-on to this review, the Committees direct DNI to 
address three other considerations: changes in the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation that may be necessary; how changes 
should apply to all acquisition programs; and how security 
risks must be addressed across development, procurement, and 
operational phases of acquisition. The Committees further 
direct the DNI to submit a plan to implement necessary changes 
within 60 days of completion of this review.

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Use of VERA and VSIP 
        Authorities

    The Committee encourages the use by the National 
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) of Voluntary Early 
Retirement Authority (VERA) and Voluntary Separation Incentive 
Program (VSIP) offers to meet future goals of building a 
workforce more attuned to automation of data production, 
automation of analytic processes, and establishment of 
development and operations (``DevOps'') software development 
processes.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the NGA to report to the 
congressional intelligence committees, within 120 days of 
enactment of the Act, on its use to date of VERA and VSIP 
incentives, to include how they have been used to develop an 
acquisition cadre skilled in ``DevOps'' software development 
processes, as well as a plan for further use of these 
incentives. The report should specify metrics for retooling its 
workforce, including how it measures data literacy and 
computational skills in potential hires, and an accounting of 
the numbers of new hires who have met these higher standards.

Report on Engagement of National Reconnaissance Office with University 
        Community

    The Committee recognizes that the survivability and 
resiliency of United States satellites is critically important 
to the United States intelligence and defense communities. 
While the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) engages with the 
university community in support of basic research and 
developing an education workforce pipeline to help advance new 
technologies and produce skilled professionals, it can do more 
in this regard to focus on space survivability.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the NRO to report, within 
120 days of enactment of the Act, on NRO's current efforts and 
future strategies to engage with university partners that are 
strategically located, host secure information facilities, and 
offer a strong engineering curriculum, with a particular focus 
on space survivability and resiliency. This report should 
provide a summary of NRO's current and planned university 
engagement programs, levels of funding, and program research 
and workforce objectives and metrics. The report should also 
include an assessment of the strategic utility of chartering a 
University Affiliated Research Center in this domain.

Clarification of Oversight Responsibilities

    The Committee reinforces the requirement for all IC 
agencies funded by the NIP to respond in a full, complete, and 
timely manner to any request for information made by a member 
of the congressional intelligence committees. In addition, the 
Committees direct the DNI to issue guidelines, within 90 days 
of enactment of the Act, to ensure that the intent of Section 
501 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3091) is 
carried out.

Clarification on Cooperation with Investigation on Russian Influence in 
        the 2016 Election

    The Committee continues to reinforce the obligation for all 
IC elements to cooperate in a full, complete, and timely manner 
with the Committee's ongoing investigation into Russian 
meddling in the 2016 Presidential election and related issues.

Supervisory Feedback as Part of Continuous Evaluation Program

    The Committee directs the DNI to review the results of 
ongoing pilot programs regarding the use of supervisory 
feedback as part of the periodic reinvestigation and continuous 
evaluation process and report, within 180 days of enactment of 
the Act, on the establishment of a policy for its use across 
the IC.

National Security Threats to Critical Infrastructure

    The Committee is aware of significant threats to our 
critical infrastructure and industrial control systems posed by 
foreign adversaries. The sensitive nature of the information 
related to these threats make the role of the IC of vital 
importance to United States defensive efforts. The Committee 
has grave concerns that current IC resources dedicated to 
analyzing and countering these threats are neither sufficient 
nor closely coordinated.

Framework for Cybersecurity and Intelligence Collection Doctrine

    The Committees directs the ODNI, in coordination with 
appropriate IC elements, to develop an analytic framework that 
could support the eventual creation and execution of a 
Government-wide cybersecurity and intelligence collection 
doctrine. The ODNI shall provide this framework, which may 
contain a classified annex, to the congressional intelligence 
committees, within 180 days of enactment of the Act.
    This framework shall include:
          1. An assessment of the current and medium-term cyber 
        threats to the protection of the United States' 
        national security systems and critical infrastructure;
          2. IC definitions of key cybersecurity concepts, to 
        include cyberespionage, cyber theft, cyber acts of 
        aggression, and cyber deterrence;
          3. Intelligence collection requirements to ensure 
        identification of cyber actors targeting U.S. national 
        security interests, and to inform policy responses to 
        cyberattacks and computer network operations directed 
        against the United States;
          4. The IC's methodology for assessing the impacts of 
        cyberattacks and computer network operations incidents 
        directed against the United States, taking into account 
        differing levels of severity of incidents;
          5. Capabilities that the IC could employ in response 
        to cyberattacks and computer network operations 
        incidents, taking into account differing levels of 
        severity of incidents;
          6. A policy and architecture for sharing 
        cybersecurity-related intelligence with government, 
        private sector, and international partners, including 
        existing statutory and other authorities which may be 
        exercised in pursuit of that goal; and
          7. Any necessary changes in IC authorities, 
        governance, technology, resources, and policy to 
        provide more capable and agile cybersecurity.

Inspector General of the Intelligence Community Role and 
        Responsibilities.

    The position of the Inspector General of the Intelligence 
Community (IC IG) was codified by the Intelligence 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 to ``conduct independent 
reviews investigations, inspections, audits, and reviews on 
programs and activities within the responsibility and authority 
of the Director of National Intelligence'' and to lead the IC's 
IG community in its activities. The Committee is concerned that 
this intent is not fully exercised by the IC IG and reiterates 
the Congress's intent that the IC IG's role be over all IC-wide 
activities in addition to the ODNI. To support this intent, the 
Committee has directed a number of requirements to strengthen 
the IC IG's role and expects full cooperation from all Offices 
of Inspector General across the IC.
    The Committee also remains concerned about the level of 
protection afforded to whistleblowers within the IC and the 
level of insight congressional committees have into their 
disclosures. It is the Committee's expectation that all Offices 
of IG across the IC will fully cooperate with the direction 
provided elsewhere in the bill to ensure both the DNI and the 
congressional committees have more complete awareness of the 
disclosures made to any IG about any NIP-funded activity.

Space Launch Facilities

    The Committee continues to believe it is critical to 
preserve a variety of launch range capabilities to support 
national security space missions, and encourages planned 
launches such as the U.S. Air Force Orbital/Sub-Orbital Program 
(OSP)-3 NRO-111 mission, to be launched in 2019 on a Minotaur 1 
from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at Wallops Flight 
Facility. In the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2017, the Committee directed a brief from the ODNI, in 
consultation with the Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S. 
Air Force, on their plans to utilize state-owned and operated 
spaceports, which leverage non-federal public and private 
investments to bolster United States launch capabilities and 
provide access to mid-to-low or polar-to-high inclination 
orbits for national security missions.
    The Committee directs that the ODNI supplement this brief 
with how state investments in these spaceports may support 
infrastructure improvements, such as payload integration and 
launch capabilities, for national security launches.

Acquisition Research Center Postings

    The Committee supports a flexible NRO acquisition process 
that allows the NRO to choose the most appropriate contracting 
mechanism, whether for small research and development efforts 
or large acquisitions. The NRO's Acquisition Research Center 
(ARC), a classified contracting and solicitation marketplace 
that NRO and other agencies use, enables this flexible 
acquisition process for classified efforts.
    The Committee directs the NRO, within 60 days of enactment 
of the Act, to brief the congressional intelligence and defense 
committees on options for modifying ARC posting procedures to 
ensure fair and open competition. Those options should include 
ensuring that unclassified NRO solicitations are posted on the 
unclassified FEDBIZOPS site and identifying ways to better 
utilize the ARC to encourage contract opportunities for a more 
diverse industrial base that includes smaller and non-
traditional companies.

Ensuring Strong Strategic Analytical Tradecraft

    The DHS's Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has 
taken steps to improve the quality of its analysis, to identify 
its core customers, and to tailor its production to meet 
customer needs. The Committee concurs with I&A's implementation 
of analytic standards and review mechanisms that have improved 
the tradecraft behind I&A productions. The bedrock of these 
efforts has been the development of a yearly program of 
analysis (POA) and key intelligence questions, which are 
essential tools for providing a roadmap and boundaries for the 
office's production efforts.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Office of I&A to 
continue to prioritize, develop and hone its strategic 
intelligence capabilities and production, including the annual 
development of a POA. Within 90 day of enactment of the Act, 
and on an annual basis thereafter for two years, I&A shall 
brief the congressional intelligence committees on the 
development and execution of its POA. These briefings should 
provide an overview of the POA, how customer needs have been 
incorporated into the POA, and an update on execution against 
the POA.

Cyber/Counterintelligence Analysis

    DHS's Office of I&A's Counterintelligence Mission Center 
analysis focuses on counterintelligence threats posed by 
foreign technology companies and fills a gap in IC intelligence 
production. Advanced technologies are increasingly ubiquitous 
and necessary to the function of modern society. Consequently, 
the scope of the threats from countries intent on using these 
technologies as a vector for collecting intelligence from 
within the United States will continue to expand. The Office of 
I&A is well positioned to conduct a niche analysis critical to 
national security that combines foreign intelligence with 
domestic threat information.
    The Committee strongly supports I&A's Counterintelligence 
Mission Center's continued focus on these topics and the 
increased resources the Fiscal Year 2019 dedicated to this 
analysis. Therefore, the Committee directs the I&A, in 
coordination with ODNI, to provide an update within 90 days of 
enactment of the Act on its recent analytic production related 
to counterintelligence threats posed by foreign technology 
companies, including a review of the countries and companies 
that present the greatest risks in this regard.

Intelligence Support to the Export Control Process

    The Committee has significant concerns that China poses a 
growing threat to United States national security, due in part 
to its relentless efforts to acquire United States technology. 
China purposely blurs the distinction between its military and 
civilian activities through its policy of ``military-civilian 
fusion,'' which compounds the risks of diversion of United 
States technology to the Chinese military.
    The Committee concludes that the United States Government 
currently lacks a comprehensive policy and the tools needed to 
address this problem. China exploits weaknesses in existing 
U.S. mechanisms aimed at preventing dangerous technology 
transfers, including the U.S. export control system, which is 
run by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and 
Security (BIS). The Committee has specific concerns about the 
lack of adequate and effective IC support to BIS's export 
license application review process and believes more robust IC 
support could have prevented many of the ill-advised technology 
transfers that have occurred in recent years.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the DNI to submit a plan, 
within 120 days of enactment of the Act, to describe how the IC 
will provide BIS with, at a minimum, basic but timely analysis 
of any threat to U.S. national security posed by any proposed 
export, re-export, or transfer of export-controlled technology. 
The plan shall include detailed information on the appropriate 
organizational structure, including how many IC personnel would 
be required, where they would be located (including whether 
they would be embedded at BIS to coordinate IC support), and 
the amounts of necessary funding. In formulating the plan, the 
DNI should study the ``National Security Threat Assessment'' 
process that the National Intelligence Council uses to inform 
the actions of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the 
United States. The DNI shall submit the plan to the 
congressional intelligence committees in classified form.

Social Media

    The Committees encourages the IC, notably the FBI, to both 
continue and enhance its efforts to assist in detecting, 
understanding, and warning about foreign influence operations 
using social media tools to target the United States. 
Additionally, within the scope of the IC's authorities, and 
with all necessary protections for U.S. person information, the 
Committees encourage the IC to augment and prioritize these 
ongoing efforts.

Trade-Based Money Laundering

    Threats to our national security posed by trade-based money 
laundering are concerning. Therefore, the Committee directs the 
DNI, within 90 days of enactment of the Act, to submit a report 
to the congressional intelligence committees on these threats, 
including an assessment of the severity of the threats posed to 
the United States' national security by trade-based money 
laundering conducted inside and outside the United States; an 
assessment of the scope of the financial threats to the U.S. 
economy and financial systems posed by trade-based money 
laundering; a description of how terrorist financing and drug 
trafficking organizations are advancing their illicit 
activities through the use of licit trade channels; an 
assessment of the adequacy of the systems and tools available 
to the Federal Government for combating trade-based money 
laundering; and a description and assessment of the current 
structure and coordination between Federal agencies, as well as 
with foreign governments, to combat trade-based money 
laundering. The report shall be submitted in classified form 
with an unclassified summary to be made available to the 
public.

Expansions of Security Protective Service Jurisdiction of the Central 
        Intelligence Agency

    The Committee directs the Central Intelligence Agency, in 
connection with the expansion of its security protective 
service jurisdiction as set forth in Section 2413, to engage 
with Virginia state and local law enforcement authorities to 
ensure that a memorandum of understanding, akin to those in 
place at other agencies setting forth the appropriate 
allocation of duties and responsibilities, is in effect.

Unauthorized Disclosures of Classified Information

    The Committee is concerned by the recent widespread media 
reports that purport to contain unauthorized disclosures of 
classified information. Protecting the nation's secrets from 
unauthorized disclosure is essential to safeguarding our 
nation's intelligence sources and methods. An unlawful 
disclosure of classified information can destroy sensitive 
collection capabilities and endanger American lives, including 
those individuals who take great personal risks to assist the 
United States in collecting vital foreign intelligence.
    Federal law prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of 
classified information, but enforcement is often lacking or 
inconsistent. Accordingly, the Committee desires to better 
understand the number of potential unauthorized disclosures 
discovered and investigated on a routine basis. Moreover, the 
Committee has little visibility into the number of 
investigations initiated by each IC agency or the number of 
criminal referrals to the Department of Justice. Accordingly, 
Section 2718 of the Act requires all IC agencies to provide the 
congressional intelligence committees with a semi-annual report 
of the number of investigations of unauthorized disclosures to 
journalists or media organizations, including subsequent 
referrals made to the United States Attorney General.
    Additionally, the Committee wishes to better understand the 
role of Inspectors General (IGs) within elements of the IC, 
with respect to unauthorized disclosures of classified 
information at those elements.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the IC IG, within 180 days 
of enactment of the Act, to provide the congressional 
intelligence committees with a report regarding the role of IGs 
with respect to investigating unauthorized disclosures. The 
report shall address: the roles of IC elements' security 
personnel and law enforcement regarding unauthorized 
disclosures; the current role of IGs within IC elements 
regarding such disclosures; what, if any, specific actions 
could be taken by such IGs to increase their involvement in the 
investigation of such matters; any laws, rules or procedures 
that currently prevent IGs from increasing their involvement; 
and the benefits and drawbacks of increased IG involvement, to 
include potential impacts to IG's roles and missions.

Presidential Policy Guidance

    The Presidential Policy Guidance (PPG) dated May 22, 2013, 
and entitled ``Procedures for Approving Direct Action Against 
Terrorist Targets Located Outside the United States and Areas 
of Active Hostilities'' provides for the participation by 
elements of the IC in reviews of certain proposed 
counterterrorism operations. The Committees expect to remain 
fully and currently informed about the status of the PPG and 
its implementation.
    Therefore, the Committee directs ODNI, within five days of 
any change to the PPG, or to any successor policy guidance, to 
submit to the congressional intelligence committees a written 
notification thereof, that shall include a summary of the 
change and the specific legal and policy justification(s) for 
the change.

Centers for Academic Excellence

    The Committee commends the commitment demonstrated by 
ODNI's Centers for Academic Excellence (CAE) program managers, 
IC agencies that sponsored CAE interns, and all other personnel 
who contributed to the inaugural edition of the CAE Internship 
Program in recent summers.
    The Committees expect the CAE Program to build on this 
foundation by showing measurable, swift progress, and 
ultimately fulfilling Congress's intent that the Program serve 
as a pipeline of the next generation of IC professionals.
    Therefore, the Committee directs that the IC take all 
viable action to expand the CAE Program by increasing, to the 
fullest extent possible:
          1. The number and racial and gender diversity of CAE 
        interns;
          2. The number of CAE academic institutions and their 
        qualified internship candidates participating in the 
        CAE Program; and
          3. The number of IC elements that sponsor CAE 
        interns.

Report on Violent Extremist Groups

    Violent extremist groups like ISIS continue to exploit the 
Internet for nefarious purposes: to inspire lone wolves; to 
spread propaganda; to recruit foreign fighters; and to plan and 
publicize atrocities. As a former Director of the National 
Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) has stated publicly:

          [W]e need to counter our adversaries' successful use 
        of social media platforms to advance their propaganda 
        goals, raise funds, recruit, coordinate travel and 
        attack plans, and facilitate operations. . . . Our 
        future work must focus on denying our adversaries the 
        capability to spread their messages to at-risk 
        populations that they can reach through the use of 
        these platforms.

    Section 403 of the Intelligence Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2017 required the DNI, consistent with the 
protection of sources and methods, to assist public and private 
sector entities in recognizing online violent extremist 
content--specifically, by making publicly available a list of 
insignias and logos associated with foreign extremist groups 
designated by the Secretary of State. The Committees believe 
the IC can take additional steps.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Director of NCTC, in 
coordination with other appropriate officials designated by the 
DNI, within 180 days of enactment of the Act, to brief the 
congressional intelligence committees on options for a pilot 
program to develop and continually update best practices for 
private technology companies to quickly recognize and lawfully 
take down violent extremist content online. Such briefing shall 
address:
          1. The feasibility, risks, costs, and benefits of 
        such a program;
          2. The U.S. Government agencies and private sector 
        entities that would participate; and
          3. Any additional authorities that would be required 
        by the program's establishment.

South China Sea

    The South China Sea is an area of great geostrategic 
importance to the United States and its allies. However, 
China's controversial territorial claims and other actions 
stand to undercut international norms and erode the region's 
stability. It is thus imperative the United States uphold 
respect for international law in the South China Sea. 
Fulfilling that objective in turn will require an optimal 
intelligence collection posture.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the DoD, in coordination 
with DNI, within 30 days of enactment of the Act, to brief the 
congressional intelligence and defense committees on known 
intelligence collection gaps, if any, with respect to adversary 
operations and aims in the South China Sea. The briefing shall 
identify the gaps and whether those gaps are driven by lack of 
access, lack of necessary collection capabilities or legal or 
policy authorities, or by other factors. The briefing shall 
also identify IC judgments that assess which intelligence 
disciplines would be best-suited to answer the existing gaps, 
and current plans to address the gaps over the Future Years 
Defense Program.

Military Occupational Specialty-to-Degree Program

    The Committee supports the Military Occupational Specialty 
(MOS)-to-Degree program, which is an innovative framework that 
enables enlisted Marines to receive credits towards an 
associate's or a bachelor's degree while earning required MOS 
credentials. The program partners with colleges and 
universities to map a Marine's experience and training to 
equivalent credit, and provides Marines with an awareness of 
tuition assistance and scholarship programs to enable them to 
complete the remaining credits towards their degree. The 
Committees encourage the Marine Corps to expand the MOS-to-
Degree program through further curriculum development and 
enhanced management of the program.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Marine Corps 
Intelligence Activity (MCIA), within 90 days of the enactment 
of the Act, to brief the congressional intelligence and defense 
committees on the Marine Corps' progress towards expanding the 
MOS-to-Degree program.

Unmanned Aircraft System Pilot Retention

    The Committee supports the Marine Corps' vision to grow a 
more diverse, lethal, amphibious, and middleweight 
expeditionary force by leveraging emerging technologies, 
particularly in the area of unmanned and manned-unmanned 
teaming. Additionally, the Committee is enthusiastic about the 
Marine Corps' efforts to equip operating forces down to the 
squad level with a Small Unit Remote Scouting System Family of 
Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) capable of operating in all 
weather conditions across the full spectrum of conflict. The 
Committee is also aware of the service's concept for a Marine 
Air Ground Task Force Unmanned Expeditionary (MUX) capability.
    However, the Committee is concerned with the projected cost 
and delays associated with developing this new technology and 
believe the Marine Corps is ill-prepared to address the growing 
deficiency in expertise and the manpower challenges that will 
accompany expansion of the unmanned fleet. Based on 
observations of the Air Force's and Army's efforts, the 
Committee believes the Marine Corps' UAS programs will 
experience pilot and maintainer shortages based on inadequate 
training, lack of reliable equipment, and the absence of 
incentive.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Deputy Commandant of 
Aviation, within 120 days of enactment of the Act, to brief the 
congressional intelligence and defense committees on potential 
interim solutions to the gap exposed by the long development 
time for MUX. Such briefing should also address the Marine 
Corps' UAS talent management plan, including a strategy for 
pilot retention and a plan to unify unmanned training that will 
build a base of instructors and encourage the professionalism 
of the community.

Remotely Piloted Aircraft Training Strategy

    Referring to the directive language found in the committee 
report accompanying H.R. 2810, the House Armed Services 
Committee (HASC)-passed FY 2018 National Defense Authorization 
Act (NDAA) (H. Rept. 115-200), the Committee directs the 
Secretary of the Air Force, no later than 30 days after 
enactment of the Act, to brief the congressional intelligence 
and defense committees on the Air Force's approach to remotely 
piloted aircraft (RPA) aircrew training, with a particular 
focus on how the Air Force plans to field simulator capability 
and training capacity among active and reserve component units 
supporting RPA operations.

Wide-area Motion Imagery Intelligence Capability

    Referring to the directive language found in the committee 
report accompanying H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 2018 NDAA (H. 
Rept. 115-200), the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force no later than March 1, 2020, to provide to the 
congressional intelligence and defense committees a report that 
describes in detail the lifecycle weapon system sustainment and 
modernization strategy for maintaining an enduring wide-area 
motion imagery capability for the geographic combatant 
commanders.

MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Aircraft System

    Referring to the directive language found in the committee 
report accompanying H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 2018 NDAA (H. 
Rept. 115-200), the Committee directs the Secretary of the 
Navy, no later than 45 days after enactment of the Act, to 
brief the congressional intelligence and defense committees on 
MQ-4C mission execution and tasking, collection, processing, 
exploitation, and dissemination (TCPED) processes. The briefing 
shall include or explain:
          1. A framework description of the manning, equipping, 
        and training requirements for the MQ-4C system;
          2. A description of the baseline architecture of the 
        mission support infrastructure required to support MQ-
        4C operations;
          3. How the Navy plans to support and execute the 
        TCPED processes;
          4. How the Navy plans to support flying operations 
        from either line-of-sight or beyond-line-of-sight 
        locations;
          5. How many aircraft the Navy plans to dedicate 
        annually to the ISR Global Force Management Allocation 
        Process of the DoD; and
          6. How many hours of collection the MQ-4C will be 
        able to provide annually in each of the intelligence 
        disciplines for combatant commanders.

E-8C Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System

    Referring to the directive language found in the committee 
report accompanying H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 2018 NDAA (H. 
Rept. 115-200), the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, no later than March 1, 2020, to provide to the 
congressional intelligence and defense committees a report that 
explains in detail all aspects of how and when the Air Force 
will transition from legacy Joint Surveillance and Target 
Attack Radar System (JSTARS) aircraft capability to JSTARS 
recapitalization aircraft capability.

Acceleration of Increment 2 of Warfighter Information Network-Tactical 
        Program

    Referring to Section 111 of H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 
2018 NDAA, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army, no 
later than January 30, 2020, to submit to the congressional 
intelligence and defense committees a report detailing 
potential options for the acceleration of procurement and 
fielding of the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical 
Increment 2 program.

Cost-benefit Analysis of Upgrades to MQ-9

    Referring to Section 134 of H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 
2018 NDAA, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force, within 180 
days of enactment of the Act, to provide the congressional 
intelligence and defense committees an analysis that compares 
the costs and benefits of the following:
          1. Upgrading fielded MQ-9 Reaper aircraft to a Block 
        5 configuration; and
          2. Proceeding with the procurement of MQ-9B aircraft 
        instead of upgrading fielded MQ-9 Reaper aircraft to a 
        Block 5 configuration.

Policy on Minimum Insider Threat Standards

    Executive Order 13587 and the National Insider Threat Task 
Force established minimum insider threat standards. Such 
standards are required for the sharing and safeguarding of 
classified information on computer networks while ensuring 
consistent, appropriate protections for privacy and civil 
liberties. The Committee understands there are policies in 
place to attempt implementation of such standards; however, the 
Committee has found that several elements of the IC have not 
fully implemented such standards. Therefore, given the several 
high-profile insider threat issues, the Committee emphasizes 
the importance of such minimums by statutorily requiring the 
DNI to establish a policy on minimum insider threat standards, 
consistent with the National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum 
Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs, and IC 
elements should expeditiously establish their own policies and 
implement the DNI guidance.
    Further, referring to the directive language found in the 
committee report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 
2019 NDAA, the Committee directs the Chief Management Officer 
to provide a briefing to the congressional intelligence 
committees and the congressional armed services committees, no 
later than 90 days after enactment of the Act, on the outcomes 
of its cost and technical analyses required by this report, and 
the Department's efforts to implement enterprise-wide programs 
and policies for insider threat detection, user activity 
monitoring, and cyber-attack detection and remediation.

Intelligence Community Information Technology Environment

    The Committee remains supportive of the goals of 
Intelligence Community Information Technology Environment (IC 
ITE) and the importance of the common, secure sharing 
infrastructure it creates. The Committee further understands 
that the path to implement a complex, technical environment 
such as IC ITE needs to be sufficiently flexible and agile. 
However, the Committee remains concerned with the lack of 
consistency and substance in previous reports and briefings on 
IC ITE. Therefore, Section 2312 requires a long-term roadmap, 
business plan, and security plan that shall be reported to the 
congressional intelligence committees at least quarterly with 
additional notifications as necessary.

Intelligence Community Chief Financial Officer

    The Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act of 1990 mandated 
best practices for decision-making and accountability, as well 
as improved decision-makers' access to reliable and timely 
financial and performance information. The CFO Act, as amended, 
requires that the chief financial officers of 24 departments 
and agencies ``report directly to the head of the agency 
regarding financial management matters.'' Section 2404 brings 
the ODNI in line with the best practices implemented in the CFO 
Act.

Intelligence Community Chief Information Officer

    As codified in 44 U.S.C. 3506(a)(1)(A), each federal agency 
head is responsible for `carrying out the information resources 
management activities to improve agency productivity, 
efficiency, and effectiveness.' Accordingly, Section 2405 
expresses the Committee's intent to emphasize the importance of 
the IC Chief Information Officer (CIO), as defined in 50 U.S.C. 
3032(a), in assisting the DNI with information resource 
management by requiring the IC CIO to report directly to the 
DNI.

Central Intelligence Agency Subsistence for Personnel Assigned to 
        Austere Locations

    Section 2411 permits the Director of the CIA to allow 
subsistence for personnel assigned to austere locations. 
Although the statute does not define ``austere,'' the Committee 
believes that utilization of this authority should be minimal. 
Therefore, within 180 days after the enactment of the Act, the 
CIA shall brief the congressional intelligence committees on 
the CIA's definition of ``austere'' and the CIA regulations in 
place governing this authority.

Collocation of Certain Department of Homeland Security Personnel at 
        Field Locations

    The Committee supports DHS I&A's intent to integrate into 
operations across the broader DHS enterprise. Accordingly, 
Section 2434 requires I&A to identify opportunities for 
collocation of I&A field officers and to submit to the 
congressional intelligence committees a plan for deployment.

Limitations on Intelligence Community Elements' Communications with 
        Congress

    Effective oversight of the IC requires unencumbered 
communications between representatives of the agencies, members 
of Congress, and congressional staff. The Committee directs the 
DNI not to limit any element of the IC from having interactions 
with the congressional intelligence committees, including but 
not limited to, preclearance by the DNI of remarks, briefings, 
discussions of agency resources or authorities requirements, or 
mandatory reports to the DNI on conversations with the 
congressional intelligence committees.

Intelligence Community Support to the National Vetting Center

    On February 6, 2018, the President issued National Security 
Policy Memorandum (NSPM)-9, ``Presidential Memorandum on 
Optimizing the Use of Federal Government Information in Support 
of National Vetting Enterprise.'' The memorandum directs the 
DHS, in coordination with the ODNI and other agencies, to 
establish the National Vetting Center. The memorandum also 
requires agencies to ``provide the Center access to relevant 
biographic, biometric, and related derogatory information.'' It 
further directs DNI, in coordination with the heads of relevant 
IC elements, to ``establish a support element to facilitate, 
guide, and coordinate all IC efforts to use classified 
intelligence and other relevant information within the IC 
holdings in support of the center.'' The Committee wishes to 
obtain regular updates and the most current information about 
the activities of that support element.
    Therefore, no later than 180 days after the enactment of 
the Act and annually thereafter, the Committee directs the DNI 
and the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis at DHS to 
brief the congressional intelligence committees on the status 
of IC support to the National Vetting Center, as established by 
NSPM-9.

Update on Status of Attorney General-approved U.S. Person Procedures 
        under Executive Order 12333

    The Committee acknowledges the difficult, labor-intensive 
work undertaken by certain IC elements, to ensure the current 
effectiveness of, and in some cases to substantially revise, 
final Attorney General-approved procedures regarding the 
collection, dissemination, and retention of United States 
persons information. The Committees wish to better understand 
the status of this project, throughout the IC.
    Therefore, the Committee directs that, not later than 60 
days after enactment of the Act, the DNI and the Attorney 
General shall brief the congressional intelligence committees 
on the issuance of final, Attorney General-approved procedures 
by elements of the IC. Specifically, the briefing shall 
identify (1) any such elements that have not yet issued final 
procedures; and (2) with respect to such elements, the status 
of the procedures' development, and any interim guidance or 
procedures on which those elements currently rely.

Homegrown Violent Extremists Imprisoned in Department of Defense 
        Facilities

    The Committee is concerned about an evident gap in 
information sharing about individuals imprisoned in DoD 
facilities who are categorized by the FBI as homegrown violent 
extremists (HVEs). A recent FBI report underscores this gap, 
highlighting the case of an individual who has been convicted 
and sentenced to death by a U.S. military court martial and 
remains incarcerated in a U.S. military facility. The Committee 
understands that, despite his incarceration, this inmate openly 
communicates with the outside world through written 
correspondence and has continued to inspire extremists 
throughout the world. The Committee further understands that 
the FBI is unable to determine the full scope of this inmate's 
contacts with the outside world because only a portion of his 
communications have been provided by the DoD.
    Therefore, no later than 180 days after the enactment of 
the Act, the Committee directs the FBI to work with the DoD to 
create a process by which the DoD provides to the FBI the 
complete communications of individuals imprisoned in DoD 
facilities and who are categorized by the FBI as HVEs.

Naming of Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters

    According to statute enacted in 1972, the current FBI 
headquarters building in Washington, D.C. must be ``known and 
designated'' as the ``J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building.'' That 
tribute has aged poorly. It should be reconsidered, in view of 
Hoover's record on civil liberties--including the effort to 
disparage and undermine Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Even today, 
Hoover's name evokes the Bureau's sordid ``COINTELPRO'' 
activities.
    The Committee believes Congress should consider repealing 
the provision requiring the existing Pennsylvania Avenue 
building to be known as the ``J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building.'' A 
new name should be determined, through a joint dialogue among 
Bureau leadership, law enforcement personnel, elected 
officials, and civil rights leaders.

Foundational Intelligence Analysis Modernization

    Referring to the directive language found in the committee 
report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, 
the Committee directs the Joint Staff Director for 
Intelligence, in coordination with the USD(I) and the Director 
of the DIA, to develop a plan within 60 days of enactment of 
the Act, to modernize systems used to provide foundational 
intelligence.
    Further, the Committee directs the Joint Staff Director for 
Intelligence, in coordination with the DIA Director, to provide 
a briefing to the congressional intelligence committees and the 
congressional armed services committees, within 90 days after 
enactment of the Act, on such plan to modernize foundational 
intelligence systems. If a determination is made that a new 
system is required, the Committees expect the Battlespace 
Awareness Functional Capabilities Board to validate the 
requirements for any new system, and that the acquisition plan 
will follow best practices for the rapid acquisition and 
improvement of technology dependent systems.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math careers in Defense 
        Intelligence

    Referring to the directive language found in the committee 
report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, 
the Committee directs the Director of DIA to provide a briefing 
to the congressional intelligence committees and the 
congressional armed services committees, within 90 days after 
enactment of the Act, on a plan to develop a Science, 
Technology, Engineering, and Math career program that attracts 
and maintains the defense intelligence cadre of Science and 
Technical Intelligence analysts to meet tomorrow's threats.

Security and Intelligence Role in Export Control

    Referring to the directive language found in the committee 
report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, 
the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Policy, in coordination with the USD(I), within 60 days of 
enactment of the Act, to brief the congressional intelligence 
committees and the congressional armed services committees, on 
security support to export control.

Security Clearance Background Investigation Reciprocity

    Referring to the directive language found in the committee 
report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, 
the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 
with the DNI and the Director of the Office of Personnel 
Management, within 60 days of enactment of the Act, to brief 
the congressional intelligence committees and the congressional 
armed services committees on efforts to ensure seamless 
transition of investigations between authorized investigative 
agencies, as required by law.
    Further, referring to the directive language found in the 
committee report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 
2019 NDAA, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the DNI and the Director of the Office of 
Personnel Management, within 90 days of enactment of the Act, 
to brief the congressional intelligence committees on efforts 
to ensure reciprocity is a consideration for implementation of 
continuous evaluation and continuous vetting across the federal 
government.

Foreign Influence Task Force

    The IC has warned of active measures taken by foreign 
actors to interfere with and undermine the U.S. democratic 
process, most recently and brazenly by the Russian Federation. 
The Committee appreciates FBI efforts to confront this 
challenge in part through creation of its Foreign Influence 
Task Force. The Committee believes that confronting foreign 
influence directed at the United States is of fundamental 
importance, and thus desires to engage in a close and regular 
dialogue with the FBI about the task force's activities.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the FBI to provide 
detailed, quarterly briefings to the congressional intelligence 
committees, regarding the task force's activities, to include 
its progress and any significant challenges.

Joint System Integration Lab Annual Briefing

    The Joint System Integration Lab (JSIL) at Redstone 
Arsenal, Alabama enables testing of critical military 
intelligence capabilities, including unmanned aerial system 
(UAS) sensors, modeling and simulation, and integration between 
and among service UASs. The Committee seeks to remain fully and 
currently informed about this important work.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the JSIL, within 180 days 
of enactment and annually for two years thereafter, to brief 
the congressional intelligence and defense committees, on 
intelligence and intelligence-related activities conducted by 
the JSIL.

Enhanced Oversight of IC Contractors

    A topic of sustained congressional intelligence committee 
interest has been improving the federal government's oversight 
of IC acquisition and procurement practices, including 
activities by poorly performing IC contractors.
    A framework exists to ensure that IC elements do not award 
IC contracts to businesses that engage in negligence or even 
gross negligence, consistently fail to appropriately safeguard 
classified information, maintain poor financial practices, or 
other issues. For example, an IC element may maintain a list of 
contractors of concern, in order to ensure that proposals from 
such contractors are rejected or subjected to additional 
scrutiny. The Committee wishes to build on these practices and 
is concerned about the existing framework's adequacy.
    Therefore, the Committee directs all elements of the IC, to 
the fullest extent consistent with applicable law and policy, 
to share with one another information about contractors with 
track records of concern--such as the commission of negligence 
or gross negligence in the performance of IC contracts, or the 
repeated failure to appropriately safeguard classified 
information in a fashion that the contractor reasonably could 
have been expected to prevent.
    Additionally, no later than 30 days after enactment of the 
Act, the DNI shall brief the congressional intelligence 
committees on the authorities of IC elements with respect to 
contractors with track records of concern--before, during, and 
after procurement. An objective of the briefing will be to 
discuss information sharing practices in this regard, and to 
identify specific areas where the oversight framework can be 
strengthened.

              Committee Consideration and Roll Call Votes

    On June 27, 2019, the Committee met in open session to 
consider H.R. 3494 and ordered the bill favorably reported.
    In open session, the Committee considered an amendment in 
the nature of a substitute, offered by Mr. Schiff to H.R. 3494. 
The amendment was adopted by unanimous voice vote.
    Mr. Schiff then moved to make the classified Fiscal Year 
2020 schedule of authorizations available for Members of the 
House to review. The motion was agreed to by a recorded vote of 
20 ayes to 0 noes:
          Voting aye: Schiff; Himes; Sewell; Carson; Speier; 
        Quigley; Heck; Welch; Maloney; Demings; Krishnamoorthi; 
        Nunes; Conaway; Turner; Wenstrup; Stewart; Crawford; 
        Stefanik; Hurd; Ratcliffe
          Voting no: None
    The Committee then agreed to a motion by the Chairman to 
favorably report H.R. 3494, as amended, to the House, including 
by reference the classified schedules of authorizations. The 
motion was agreed to by a unanimous voice vote.

as to protect all intelligence officers whose identities as 
such are currently classified, and all United States citizens 
whose relationship to the United States is currently 
classified--regardless of the location of the individuals' 
government service or activities or time since separation from 
service.

had amended the National Security Act to permit prosecution 
only if, among other things, an individual disclosed the 
classified identities of intelligence officers who were 
currently serving overseas or had within the past five years; 
or those of U.S. citizens having a classified intelligence 
relationship to the United States and residing and acting for a 
U.S. intelligence agency overseas. Section 305 removes the 
IIPA's temporal and geographic limitations, both to account for

often do perform highly sensitive work warranting protection by 
the IIPA--though without serving abroad in recent years.

    With respect to clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the Committee held multiple 
hearings on the classified budgetary issues raised by H.R. 
3494. The bill, as reported by the Committee, reflects 
conclusions reached by the Committee in light of this oversight 
activity.

                General Performance Goals and Objectives

    The goals and objectives of H.R. 3494 are to authorize the 
intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United 
States Government for Fiscal Years 2018, 2019, and 2020. These 
activities enhance the national security of the United States, 
support and assist the armed forces of the United States, and 
support the President in the execution of the foreign policy of 
the United States.
    The classified annex that accompanies this report reflects 
in great detail the Committee's specific performance goals and 
objectives at the programmatic level with respect to classified 
programs.

                       Unfunded Mandate Statement

    Section 423 of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment 
Control Act (as amended by Section 101(a)(2) of the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act, P.L. 104-4) requires a statement of 
whether the provisions of the reported bill include unfunded 
mandates. In compliance with this requirement, the Committee 
has received a letter from the Congressional Budget Office 
included herein.
                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                     Washington, DC, July 11, 2019.
Hon. Adam Schiff,
Chairman, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 3494, the Damon 
Paul Nelson and Matthew Young Pollard Intelligence 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2018, 2019, and 2020.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is William Ma.
            Sincerely,
                                         Phillip L. Swagel,
                                                          Director.
    Enclosure.

     
    
    Bill summary: H.R. 3494 would authorize appropriations for 
fiscal years 2019 and 2020 for intelligence activities of the 
U.S. government, including the Intelligence Community 
Management Account and the Central Intelligence Agency 
Retirement and Disability System (CIARDS). The bill also would 
modify the security clearance process for federal agencies, 
expand personnel benefits for employees of the intelligence 
community, and create or modify other intelligence programs.
    CBO does not provide estimates for classified programs; 
therefore, this estimate addresses only the unclassified 
aspects of the bill. In addition, CBO cannot provide estimates 
for certain provisions in the unclassified portion of the bill 
because they concern classified programs. On that limited 
basis, CBO estimates that implementing the unclassified 
provisions of the bill would cost about $5.9 billion over the 
2020-2024 period; that spending would be subject to the 
appropriation of the specified and estimated amounts.
    In addition, several provisions of the bill also would 
increase and decrease direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go 
procedures apply. On net, however, CBO estimates that those 
effects would be insignificant over the 2020-2029 period. 
Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.
    CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3494 would not 
significantly increase net direct spending or on-budget 
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods 
beginning in 2030.
    H.R. 3494 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
    Estimated Federal cost: The estimated budgetary effect of 
H.R. 3494 is shown in Table 1. The costs of the legislation 
fall within all budget functions that fund security and 
suitability investigations.

a. In addition to the budgetary effects shown above, enacting H.R. 3494 would affect direct spending by between
  $500,000 and $500,000 over the 2020-2029 period.

    Basis of estimate: For this estimate, CBO assumes that H.R. 
3494 will be enacted near the beginning of fiscal year 2020. 
Outlays are based on historical spending patterns for existing 
or similar programs.

Spending subject to appropriation

    CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost about 
$5.9 billion over the 2020-2024 period. Such spending would be 
subject to appropriation of the estimated and specified 
amounts.
    Security Clearances. Title XXVI of the bill would require 
the Security, Suitability, and Credentialing Performance 
Accountability Council (the Council) to achieve the following 
performance goals by December 31, 2021:\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\The Security, Suitability, and Credentialing Performance 
Accountability Council was established by Executive Order 13467, as 
amended, to oversee reform of the federal government's system for 
determining the eligibility of individuals to access classified 
information, hold sensitive positions (positions in which an individual 
could affect national security or trust in the federal government 
regardless of whether the individual has access to classified 
information), and gain physical or logical access to federal facilities 
or information systems.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Issue 90 percent of initial determinations for 
secret and top secret clearances within 30 and 90 days, 
respectively;
     Accept 90 percent of security clearances for 
employees moving between federal agencies within two weeks if 
the clearances are equivalent; and
     Reinvestigate not more than 10 percent of all 
clearance holders at set intervals.
    Title XXVI also would require the Council, the Director of 
National Intelligence, and other federal entities to develop 
plans, policies, and strategies, to perform reviews, and to 
prepare reports on different aspects of the security clearance 
process. In total, CBO estimates that implementing title XXVI 
would cost about $5.2 billion over the 2020-2024 period.
    Timeliness. Current law sets a goal of completing 90 
percent of security-clearance determinations within an average 
of 60 days from the date that the completed application is 
received. The Administration only applies that timeliness 
standard to initial determinations for secret clearances and 
has adopted other standards for top secret clearances and 
periodic reinvestigations. The current timeliness goals for the 
fastest 90 percent of security-clearance determinations are:
     An average of 60 days for initial secret 
clearances (40 days to complete the investigative phase and 20 
days to complete the adjudicative phase),
     An average of 100 days for initial top secret 
clearances (80 days to complete the investigative phase and 20 
days to complete the adjudicative phase), and
     An average of 180 days for periodic 
reinvestigations regardless of clearance level (150 days to 
complete the investigative phase and 30 days to complete the 
adjudicative phase).
    Those goals, whether determined by statute or policy, 
however, currently are not being met. At the end of May 2019, 
the backlog of pending cases totaled 433,000. CBO estimates 
that the Administration will spend about $1.5 billion on all 
investigative services and another $0.1 billion on adjudicative 
services in 2019. With that backlog, and under those resource 
levels, the average time it took to complete the investigative 
and adjudicative phases for the fastest 90 percent of 
clearances at the end of May 2019 was:
     169 days for initial secret clearances (139 days 
to complete the investigative phase and 30 days to complete the 
adjudicative phase).
     338 days for initial top secret clearances (296 
days to complete the investigative phase and 42 days to 
complete the adjudicative phase).
     425 days for periodic reinvestigations (325 days 
to complete the investigative phase and 100 days to complete 
the adjudicative phase).
    In order to meet the 30 and 90-day requirements of title 
XXVI, the National Background Investigations Bureau (NBIB) must 
first reduce the backlog to a level that would allow the 
federal government to meet the existing investigative and 
adjudicative processing goals. The bureau has been steadily 
expanding its workforce and reports that it expects to reduce 
the backlog to a manageable level in a couple of years. 
Concurrently, as NBIB works to reduce the backlog, the bureau's 
background-investigation program is being transferred to the 
Department of Defense (DoD).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\Section 925 of Public Law 115-91, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, authorized DoD to conduct 
security, suitability, and credentialing background investigations for 
DoD personnel. The Administration has since decided to transfer NBIB's 
investigation program to DoD. Executive Order 13869, signed April 24, 
2019, makes the newly formed Defense Counterintelligence and Security 
Agency of DoD responsible for conducting background investigations for 
the federal government.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    CBO expects that the current and upcoming initiatives will 
continue to reduce the backlog as planned and allow the current 
timeliness goals to be met by 2022. We also assume that the 
transfer of NBIB's responsibilities to DoD will be completed as 
planned.
    The difference between the current timeliness goals and 
those prescribed by the bill is significant. The current 
structure establishes goals for an average processing time for 
the fastest 90 percent of cases. By contrast, the bill would 
establish maximum processing times for the fastest 90 percent 
of cases. Those targets would be significantly shorter than the 
current average processing times. Taking that into 
consideration, we estimate that the capacity to investigate and 
adjudicate initial secret and top secret clearances would need 
to increase by about 200 percent and 67 percent, respectively, 
to meet the faster processing requirements of title XXVI. For 
2019, CBO estimates that the executive branch will spend about 
$0.4 billion and $0.6 billion on investigating and adjudicating 
initial secret clearances and initial top secret clearances, 
respectively. Thus, spending on those activities would 
ultimately need to increase by about $1.2 billion annually. 
Under title XXVI, DoD would have three years to hire and train 
the necessary number of investigators and adjudicators to meet 
the prescribed timeliness goals in fiscal year 2022. Accounting 
for that implementation phase, CBO estimates that it would cost 
about $0.4 billion in 2020 and about $5.2 billion over the 
2020-2024 period.
    Administrative Costs. Title XXVI would require federal 
entities to develop policies, perform assessments, and prepare 
reports on several aspects of the security-clearance process. 
For entities in the intelligence community, CBO expects that 
the administrative costs of those requirements would be covered 
by the amounts authorized to be appropriated in the classified 
annex and for the ICMA. For federal entities that are not part 
of the intelligence community, CBO estimates total costs of $1 
million over the 2020-2024 period.
    Periodic Reinvestigations. Title XXVI would encourage the 
Council to limit reinvestigations conducted on the schedules 
set by the Administration to not more than 10 percent of all 
clearance holders. In 2017, about 4 million individuals held 
clearances, and this provision would require the federal 
government to use methods other than periodic reinvestigations 
on about 3.6 million of them to ensure that they remain 
eligible to access classified information. CBO expects that the 
method used to replace periodic reinvestigations would include, 
but not be limited to, the use of automated records checks.
    Any costs or savings realized by using automated records 
checks as part of a larger effort to replace periodic 
investigations would depend on the frequency (e.g. daily, 
weekly, monthly, annually) with which they are conducted and 
the methods used to obtain information they cannot provide. 
Because CBO does not know how the Council would implement this 
provision, we cannot estimate its effects on spending.
    While most agencies are funded by annual appropriations, 
some agencies are authorized to spend monies collected from 
other sources, such as user fees. In addition to the increases 
in spending subject to appropriation described above, any 
increase in costs to process security clearances and satisfy 
the requirements of this title incurred by those agencies would 
be considered direct spending. Those effects are described 
below in the ``Direct Spending'' section of this estimate.
    Intelligence Community Management Account. Section 103 
would authorize the appropriation of $566 million for fiscal 
year 2020 for the ICMA. The ICMA is the principal source of 
funding for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence 
and for coordinating the intelligence activities of the federal 
government. CBO estimates that implementing section 103 would 
cost about $557 million over the 2020-2024 period, subject to 
appropriation of the authorized amount.
    Pay and Benefits. Sections 303 and 2303 would expand pay 
and benefits offered to employees of the intelligence 
community. In total, CBO estimates that implementing those 
provisions would cost $171 million over the 2020-2024 period.
    Paid Parental Leave. Section 303 would provide 12 weeks of 
paid leave to employees of the intelligence community following 
the birth or adoption of a child or the initial placement of a 
foster child. Such leave would be available during the 12-month 
period beginning on the date of the child's birth or placement. 
DNI would have 18 months from the date of enactment of the bill 
to implement the new leave program. Employees of the 
intelligence community would become entitled to paid leave for 
the birth or placement of a child that occurs on or after the 
date of such implementation.
    Under current law, federal employees are entitled to up to 
12 weeks of leave without pay after the birth or adoption of a 
child or the initial placement of a foster child. Employees may 
get paid during that 12-week period by using any annual or sick 
leave that they have accrued. The leave provided by this bill 
would be in addition to any leave available to, or taken by, 
those employees during the 12-week period provided by the 
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). CBO expects that employees 
entitled to paid leave provided under H.R. 3494 would 
substitute that leave for annual or sick leave they otherwise 
would have taken during the 12-week FMLA leave period.
    CBO estimates that implementing section 303 would cost $163 
million over the 2020-2024 period. Because the exact number of 
employees in each element of the intelligence community is 
classified, CBO relied on publicly available information about 
the amounts appropriated to DoD and the intelligence community, 
as well as the number of people employed by DoD as the basis of 
this estimate.
    In addition to the increases in spending subject to 
appropriation described above, enacting section 303 also would 
affect direct spending. Those effects are described below in 
the ``Direct Spending'' section of this estimate.
    National Security Agency (NSA) Pay Authority. Section 2303 
would authorize the NSA to establish higher pay rates for 
employees in cybersecurity fields at the agency. In general, 
the rates of pay established under that authority could not 
exceed the rate of basic pay for level II of the Executive 
Schedule ($192,300, in 2019); however, in certain 
circumstances, up to 100 NSA employees at any given time could 
receive up to the rate of basic pay for the Vice President of 
the United States ($246,900, in 2019).
    On the basis of information from DoD, CBO estimates that 
about two to three dozen employees would receive an average of 
$15,800 more in compensation in fiscal year 2020 under section 
2303. That estimate is based on CBO's expectation that the new 
pay rates would take effect six months following enactment 
(halfway into the fiscal year) to allow NSA time to develop and 
apply those higher rates of pay. After accounting for annual 
pay increases and the expectation that NSA would expand its use 
of this authority over time, CBO estimates that by 2024 the 
average increase in annual compensation would be about $35,100 
and the number of NSA employees receiving such increases would 
double. Thus, CBO estimates that increasing pay for those NSA 
employees would cost $8 million over the 2020-2024 period.
    Task Forces and Other Advisory Bodies. Several sections of 
the bill would require elements of the intelligence community 
to establish task forces and other oversight and advisory 
bodies; a handful of those would disband after a few years 
while others would operate permanently. CBO estimates that 
salaries for about two dozen full-time equivalents plus other 
support costs to establish and carry out the responsibilities 
of those groups would total $5 million in 2020 and $22 million 
over the 2020-2024 period.
    Prize Competitions. Sections 706 and 707 would authorize 
the Director of National Intelligence to organize two 
competitions to encourage research. In each of those 
competitions, the Director could award prizes totaling up to $5 
million. The competition authorized by section 706 would be 
used to promote research and development of fifth-generation 
wireless technology. The competition authorized by section 707 
would be used to promote research and development of 
technologies to detect forged or manipulated digital content.
    CBO expects that it would take the Director one year to 
organize those competitions and to publicly announce, 
advertise, and publish the terms in advance of each 
competition. Those efforts would cost $1 million in 2020 and as 
competitions occurred, an additional $10 million in 2021, for a 
total of $11 million over the 2020-2024 period, CBO estimates.
    Reports, Briefings, and Assessments. Division B of the bill 
would require several agencies to complete more than 60 
reports, briefings, and assessments and to deliver those 
products and findings to the Congress. On the basis of the 
costs of similar activities, satisfying those requirements 
would cost $6 million over the 2020-2024 period, CBO estimates.

Direct spending

    H.R. 3494 would extend workers' compensation benefits to 
certain private-sector employees, enhance the benefits offered 
to certain annuitants of the Central Intelligence Agency 
Retirement and Disability System, and authorize appropriations 
for 2019 and 2020. The bill also would affect spending by 
agencies not funded through annual appropriations. On net, and 
excluding provisions related to classified programs, CBO 
estimates that enacting H.R. 3494 would have an insignificant 
effect on direct spending over the 2020-2029 period.
    Public-Private Talent Exchange. Section 306 would establish 
a program for temporarily exchanging employees of elements of 
the intelligence community and employees of entities in the 
private sector. That exchange would increase direct spending 
for compensation for private-sector employees who are injured 
in the course of their work in the intelligence community. 
Those related medical expenses would be paid through the 
federal workers' compensation program; such payments are 
classified as direct spending. CBO expects that few private-
sector employees would become injured while participating in 
the program established by section 306; thus, the additional 
liability would increase direct spending by less than $500,000 
over the 2020-2029 period.
    CIARDS Benefits Adjustments. Section 2202 would make a 
number of changes to CIARDS to align the benefits offered to 
employees, retirees, or survivors under CIARDS with the 
benefits currently offered to employees, retirees, or survivors 
under the Civil Service Retirement System. Those changes would 
both increase and decrease spending on retirement benefits. For 
example, the bill would increase retirement benefits for 
employees who worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) 
before April 7, 1986, and at some point during their career, 
worked on a part-time basis. The bill also would allow married 
employees retiring under CIARDS after enactment to provide a 
survivor annuity to someone with an insurable interest. (An 
insurable interest exists when an individual derives financial 
benefit from the retiring employee continuing to be alive.) 
Total annuity payments for retirees who elect to provide a 
survivor annuity to someone with an insurable interest would be 
reduced or increased depending on how long they and the 
designated beneficiary live. On the basis of information from 
the CIA, CBO estimates that only a small number of individuals 
would benefit from the changes in section 2202. On net, CBO 
estimates that the difference in direct spending from enacting 
the section would be less than $500,000 over the 2020-2029 
period.
    Security Clearances. Implementing any actions necessary to 
comply with the requirements of title XXVI and preparing the 
required reports would increase the administrative expenses for 
agencies not funded through annual appropriations. Such 
spending is considered direct spending. Because those agencies 
are able to increase the fees that provide their funding as 
necessary to cover their costs, CBO estimates that the net 
difference in spending by those agencies would be insignificant 
over the 2020-2029 period. (More information about the 
requirements of title XXVI of the bill is provided above under 
the heading, ``Spending Subject to Appropriation.'')
    Paid Parental Leave. Section 303 would provide up to 12 
weeks of paid leave to employees of the intelligence community 
following the birth or adoption of a child or the initial 
placement of a foster child. Once implemented, CBO estimates 
that section 303 would increase balances of sick leave for 
those employees who now would defer the use of some sick leave 
they otherwise would have taken for child care under current 
law. Any additional sick leave carried through to retirement 
would be used in the computation of those employees' or 
survivors' annuities; increases in annuity payments are 
classified as direct spending. Because the effect on the 
payment of future retirement annuities would be small, CBO 
estimates that enacting section 303 would increase direct 
spending by less than $500,000 over the 2020-2029 period. (More 
information about Paid Parental Leave is provided above under 
the heading, ``Spending Subject to Appropriation.'')
    CIARDS Fund Payment. Sections 201 and 2201 would authorize 
the appropriation of $514 million for CIARDS for fiscal years 
2020 and 2019, respectively, to maintain the necessary funding 
level for operating that retirement and disability system. 
Appropriations to CIARDS are treated as direct spending in the 
budget and are projected to continue at the authorized levels 
in CBO's baseline pursuant to section 257 of the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. Because the 
amount that would be authorized by the bill is included in 
CBO's baseline, that authorization would have no budgetary 
effect relative to the baseline.

Uncertainty

    The most significant area of uncertainty arises from 
estimating the costs of changing the process for granting 
security clearances. The bill would give the Council broad 
latitude in reforming that process; thus, the steps taken by 
the Council to meet the processing goals of security clearance 
investigations and other matters could differ significantly 
from CBO's estimate.
    Additionally, the actual number of personnel employed by 
the intelligence community is classified. The costs of 
additional personnel benefits are also uncertain because the 
number of personnel that would receive those benefits could 
differ significantly from CBO's estimate.
    Pay-As-You-Go considerations: The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go 
Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement 
procedures for legislation affecting direct spending or 
revenues. Pay-as-you-go procedures apply to this legislation 
because enacting it would affect direct spending; however, CBO 
estimates that those effects would be insignificant.
    Increase in long-term deficits: CBO estimates that enacting 
H.R. 3494 would not increase on-budget deficits by more than $5 
billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods 
beginning in 2030.
    Mandates: None.

(federal pay), and Meredith Decker (workers' compensation);

     responsibilities and authorities of the director of national 
                              intelligence

  Sec. 102A. (a) Provision of Intelligence.--(1) The Director 
of National Intelligence shall be responsible for ensuring that

        to bring analytic resources to bear against emerging 
        and unforeseen requirements;
          (B) both the Office of the Director of National

        appropriate levels of personnel resources and that the 
        President's yearly budget requests adequately support 
        those needs; and
          (C) the President should utilize all legal and 
        administrative discretion to ensure that the Director 
        of National Intelligence and all other elements of the 
        intelligence community have the necessary resources and 
        procedures to respond promptly and effectively to 
        emerging and unforeseen national security challenges.

          (ii) determine requirements and priorities for, and 
        manage and direct the tasking of, collection, analysis,

        employee or officer of an element of the intelligence 
        community, such contractor, or such individual employee 
        to such a contractor to determine whether such employee

        regarding an employee or officer of an element of the 
        intelligence community, a contractor to an element of 
        the intelligence community, or an individual employee 
        of such a contractor that may impact the eligibility of 
        such employee or officer of an element of the 
        intelligence community, such contractor, or such

services.

implemented under this subsection with respect to law 
enforcement officers (as that term is defined in section

        the extent that the requested leave schedule does not 
        unduly disrupt operations; and
          (2) to the extent that an employee's requested leave 
        described in paragraph (1) arises out of medical 
        necessity related to a serious health condition 
        connected to the birth of a son or daughter, the 
        employing element shall handle the scheduling 
        consistent with the treatment of employees who are 
        using leave under subparagraph (C) or (D) of section 
        6382(a)(1) of title 5, United States Code.

                not be available for any subsequent use and may 
                not be converted into a cash payment;
                  (D) may be granted only to the extent that 
                the employee does not receive a total of more 
                than 12 weeks of paid parental leave in any 12-
                month period beginning on the date of a birth

                  (F) may not be granted for a child being

                the employee for foster care in the past;
                  (G) shall be used in increments of hours (or

         presidential approval and reporting of covert actions

  Sec. 503. (a) The President may not authorize the conduct of 
a covert action by departments, agencies, or entities of the 
United States Government unless the President determines such 
an action is necessary to support identifiable foreign policy 
objectives of the United States and is important to the 
national security of the United States, which determination 
shall be set forth in a finding that shall meet each of the 
following conditions:
          (1) Each finding shall be in writing, unless 
        immediate action by the United States is required and 
        time does not permit the preparation of a written 
        finding, in which case a written record of the 
        President's decision shall be contemporaneously made 
        and shall be reduced to a written finding as soon as 
        possible but in no event more than 48 hours after the 
        decision is made.
  (2) Except as permitted by paragraph (1), a finding may not 
authorize or sanction a covert action, or any aspect of any 
such action, which already has occurred.
          (3) Each finding shall specify each department, 
        agency, or entity of the United States Government 
        authorized to fund or otherwise participate in any 
        significant way in such action. Any employee, 
        contractor, or contract agent of a department, agency, 
        or entity of the United States Government other than 
        the Central Intelligence Agency directed to participate 
        in any way in a covert action shall be subject either 
        to the policies and regulations of the Central 
        Intelligence Agency, or to written policies or 
        regulations adopted by such department, agency, or 
        entity, to govern such participation.
          (4) Each finding shall specify whether it is 
        contemplated that any third party which is not an 
        element of, or a contractor or contract agent of, the 
        United States Government, or is not otherwise subject 
        to United States Government policies and regulations, 
        will be used to fund or otherwise participate in any 
        significant way in the covert action concerned, or be 
        used to undertake the covert action concerned on behalf 
        of the United States.
  (5) A finding may not authorize any action that would violate 
the Constitution or any statute of the United States.
  (b) To the extent consistent with due regard for the 
protection from unauthorized disclosure of classified 
information relating to sensitive intelligence sources and 
methods or other exceptionally sensitive matters, the Director 
of National Intelligence and the heads of all departments, 
agencies, and entities of the United States Government involved 
in a covert action--
          (1) shall keep the congressional intelligence 
        committees fully and currently informed of all covert 
        actions which are the responsibility of, are engaged in 
        by, or are carried out for or on behalf of, any 
        department, agency, or entity of the United States 
        Government, including significant failures; and
  (2) shall furnish to the congressional intelligence 
committees any information or material concerning covert 
actions (including the legal basis under which the covert 
action is being or was conducted) which is in the possession, 
custody, or control of any department, agency, or entity of the 
United States Government and which is requested by either of 
the congressional intelligence committees in order to carry out 
its authorized responsibilities.
  (c)(1) The President shall ensure that any finding approved 
pursuant to subsection (a) shall be reported in writing to the 
congressional intelligence committees as soon as possible after 
such approval and before the initiation of the covert action 
authorized by the finding, except as otherwise provided in 
paragraph (2) and paragraph (3).
  (2) If the President determines that it is essential to limit 
access to the finding to meet extraordinary circumstances 
affecting vital interests of the United States, the finding may 
be reported to the chairmen and ranking minority members of the 
congressional intelligence committees, the Speaker and minority 
leader of the House of Representatives, the majority and 
minority leaders of the Senate, and such other member or 
members of the congressional leadership as may be included by 
the President.
  (3) Whenever a finding is not reported pursuant to paragraph 
(1) or (2) of this section, the President shall fully inform 
the congressional intelligence committees in a timely fashion 
and shall provide a statement of the reasons for not giving 
prior notice.
  (4) In a case under paragraph (1), (2), or (3), a copy of the 
finding, signed by the President, shall be provided to the 
chairman of each congressional intelligence committee.
  (5)(A) When access to a finding, or a notification provided 
under subsection (d)(1), is limited to the Members of Congress 
specified in paragraph (2), a written statement of the reasons 
for limiting such access shall also be provided.
  (B) Not later than 180 days after a statement of reasons is 
submitted in accordance with subparagraph (A) or this 
subparagraph, the President shall ensure that--
          (i) all members of the congressional intelligence 
        committees are provided access to the finding or 
        notification; or
          (ii) a statement of reasons that it is essential to 
        continue to limit access to such finding or such 
        notification to meet extraordinary circumstances 
        affecting vital interests of the United States is 
        submitted to the Members of Congress specified in 
        paragraph (2).
  (d)(1) The President shall ensure that the congressional 
intelligence committees, or, if applicable, the Members of 
Congress specified in subsection (c)(2), are notified in 
writing of any significant change in a previously approved 
covert action, or any significant undertaking pursuant to a 
previously approved finding, in the same manner as findings are 
reported pursuant to subsection (c).
  (2) In determining whether an activity constitutes a 
significant undertaking for purposes of paragraph (1), the 
President shall consider whether the activity--
          (A) involves significant risk of loss of life;
          (B) requires an expansion of existing authorities, 
        including authorities relating to research, 
        development, or operations;
          (C) results in the expenditure of significant funds 
        or other resources;
          (D) requires notification under section 504;
          (E) gives rise to a significant risk of disclosing 
        intelligence sources or methods; or
          (F) presents a reasonably foreseeable risk of serious 
        damage to the diplomatic relations of the United States 
        if such activity were disclosed without authorization.
  (e) As used in this title, the term ``covert action'' means 
an activity or activities of the United States Government to 
influence political, economic, or military conditions abroad, 
where it is intended that the role of the United States 
Government will not be apparent or acknowledged publicly, but 
does not include--
          (1) activities the primary purpose of which is to 
        acquire intelligence, traditional counterintelligence 
        activities, traditional activities to improve or 
        maintain the operational security of United States 
        Government programs, or administrative activities;
  (2) traditional diplomatic or military activities or routine 
support to such activities;
          (3) traditional law enforcement activities conducted 
        by United States Government law enforcement agencies or 
        routine support to such activities; or
          (4) activities to provide routine support to the 
        overt activities (other than activities described in 
        paragraph (1), (2), or (3)) of other United States 
        Government agencies abroad.
  (f) No covert action may be conducted which is intended to 
influence United States political processes, public opinion, 
policies, or media.
  (g)(1) In any case where access to a finding reported under 
subsection (c) or notification provided under subsection (d)(1) 
is not made available to all members of a congressional 
intelligence committee in accordance with subsection (c)(2), 
the President shall notify all members of such committee that 
such finding or such notification has been provided only to the 
members specified in subsection (c)(2).
  (2) In any case where access to a finding reported under 
subsection (c) or notification provided under subsection (d)(1) 
is not made available to all members of a congressional 
intelligence committee in accordance with subsection (c)(2), 
the President shall provide to all members of such committee a 
general description regarding the finding or notification, as 
applicable, consistent with the reasons for not yet fully 
informing all members of such committee.
  (3) The President shall maintain--
          (A) a record of the members of Congress to whom a 
        finding is reported under subsection (c) or 
        notification is provided under subsection (d)(1) and 
        the date on which each member of Congress receives such 
        finding or notification; and
          (B) each written statement provided under subsection 
        (c)(5).
  (h) For each type of activity undertaken as part of a covert 
action, the President shall establish in writing a plan to 
respond to the unauthorized public disclosure of that type of 
activity.

                   funding of intelligence activities

  Sec. 504. (a) Appropriated funds available to an intelligence 
agency may be obligated or expended for an intelligence or 
intelligence-related activity only if--
          (1) those funds were specifically authorized by the 
        Congress for use for such activities; or
          (2) in the case of funds from the Reserve for 
        Contingencies of the Central Intelligence Agency and 
        consistent with the provisions of section 503 of this 
        Act concerning any significant anticipated intelligence 
        activity, the Director of the Central Intelligence 
        Agency has notified the appropriate congressional 
        committees of the intent to make such funds available 
        for such activity; or
          (3) in the case of funds specifically authorized by 
        the Congress for a different activity--
                  (A) the activity to be funded is a higher 
                priority intelligence or intelligence-related 
                activity;
                  (B) the use of such funds for such activity 
                supports an emergent need, improves program 
                effectiveness, or increases efficiency; and
                  (C) the Director of National Intelligence, 
                the Secretary of Defense, or the Attorney 
                General, as appropriate, has notified the 
                appropriate congressional committees of the 
                intent to make such funds available for such 
                activity;
          (4) nothing in this subsection prohibits obligation 
        or expenditure of funds available to an intelligence 
        agency in accordance with sections 1535 and 1536 of

Presidential finding required by subsection (a) of section 503 
has been signed or otherwise issued in accordance with that 
subsection.
  (d)(1) Except as otherwise specifically provided by law, 
funds available to an intelligence agency that are not 
appropriated funds may be obligated or expended for an 
intelligence or intelligence-related activity only if those 
funds are used for activities reported to the appropriate 
congressional committees pursuant to procedures which 
identify--
          (A) the types of activities for which nonappropriated 
        funds may be expended; and
          (B) the circumstances under which an activity must be 
        reported as a significant anticipated intelligence

  (b) Information Sharing Environment.--
          (1) Establishment.--The [President] Director of 
        National Intelligence shall--
                  (A) create an information sharing environment 
                for the sharing of terrorism information in a 
                manner consistent with national security and 
                with applicable legal standards relating to 
                privacy and civil liberties;
                  (B) designate the organizational and

          (2) Attributes.--The [President] Director of National 
        Intelligence shall, through the structures described in 
        subparagraphs (B) and (C) of paragraph (1), ensure that 
        the ISE provides and facilitates the means for sharing 
        terrorism information among all appropriate Federal, 
        State, local, and tribal entities, and the private 
        sector through the use of policy guidelines and 
        technologies. The [President] Director of National 
        Intelligence shall, to the greatest extent practicable, 
        ensure that the ISE provides the functional equivalent 
        of, or otherwise supports, a decentralized, 
        distributed, and coordinated environment that--
                  (A) connects existing systems, where 
                appropriate, provides no single points of 
                failure, and allows users to share information 
                among agencies, between levels of government, 
                and, as appropriate, with the private sector;
                  (B) ensures direct and continuous online 
                electronic access to information;
                  (C) facilitates the availability of 
                information in a form and manner that 
                facilitates its use in analysis, investigations 
                and operations;
                  (D) builds upon existing systems capabilities 
                currently in use across the Government;
                  (E) employs an information access management 
                approach that controls access to data rather 
                than just systems and networks, without 
                sacrificing security;
                  (F) facilitates the sharing of information at 
                and across all levels of security;
                  (G) provides directory services, or the 
                functional equivalent, for locating people and 
                information;
                  (H) incorporates protections for individuals' 
                privacy and civil liberties;
                  (I) incorporates strong mechanisms to enhance 
                accountability and facilitate oversight, 
                including audits, authentication, and access 
                controls;
                  (J) integrates the information within the 
                scope of the information sharing environment, 
                including any such information in legacy 
                technologies;
                  (K) integrates technologies, including all 
                legacy technologies, through Internet-based 
                services, consistent with appropriate security 
                protocols and safeguards, to enable 
                connectivity among required users at the 
                Federal, State, and local levels;
                  (L) allows the full range of analytic and 
                operational activities without the need to 
                centralize information within the scope of the 
                information sharing environment;
                  (M) permits analysts to collaborate both 
                independently and in a group (commonly known as 
                ``collective and noncollective 
                collaboration''), and across multiple levels of 
                national security information and controlled 
                unclassified information;
                  (N) provides a resolution process that 
                enables changes by authorized officials 
                regarding rules and policies for the access, 
                use, and retention of information within the 
                scope of the information sharing environment; 
                and
                  (O) incorporates continuous, real-time, and 
                immutable audit capabilities, to the maximum 
                extent practicable.
  (c) Preliminary Report.--Not later than 180 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the program manager shall, 
in consultation with the Information Sharing Council--
          (1) submit to the President and Congress a 
        description of the technological, legal, and policy 
        issues presented by the creation of the ISE, and the 
        way in which these issues will be addressed;
          (2) establish an initial capability to provide 
        electronic directory services, or the functional 
        equivalent, to assist in locating in the Federal 
        Government intelligence and terrorism information and 
        people with relevant knowledge about intelligence and 
        terrorism information; and
          (3) conduct a review of relevant current Federal 
        agency capabilities, databases, and systems for sharing 
        information.

no event later than 270 days after the date of the enactment of 
this Act, the President shall--
          (1) leverage all ongoing efforts consistent with 
        establishing the ISE and issue guidelines for 
        acquiring, accessing, sharing, and using information, 
        including guidelines to ensure that information is 
        provided in its most shareable form, such as by using 
        tearlines to separate out data from the sources and 
        methods by which the data are obtained;
          (2) in consultation with the Privacy and Civil 
        Liberties Oversight Board established under section 
        1061, issue guidelines that--
                  (A) protect privacy and civil liberties in 
                the development and use of the ISE; and
                  (B) shall be made public, unless 
                nondisclosure is clearly necessary to protect 
                national security; and
          (3) require the heads of Federal departments and 
        agencies to promote a culture of information sharing 
        by--
                  (A) reducing disincentives to information 
                sharing, including over-classification of 
                information and unnecessary requirements for 
                originator approval, consistent with applicable 
                laws and regulations; and

                    Part C--Computation of Annuities

SEC. 221. COMPUTATION OF ANNUITIES.

  (a) Annuity of Participant.--
          (1) Computation of annuity.--The annuity of a 
        participant is the product of--
                  (A) the participant's high-3 average pay (as 
                defined in paragraph (4)); and
                  (B) the number of years, not exceeding 35, of 
                service credit (determined in accordance with 
                sections 251 and 252) multiplied by 2 percent.
          (2) Credit for unused sick leave.--The total service 
        of a participant who retires on an immediate annuity 
        (except under section 231) or who dies leaving a 
        survivor or survivors entitled to an annuity shall 
        include (without regard to the 35-year limitation 
        prescribed in paragraph (1)) the days of unused sick 
        leave to the credit of the participant. Days of unused 
        sick leave may not be counted in determining average 
        basic pay or eligibility for an annuity under this 
        title. A deposit shall not be required for days of 
        unused sick leave credited under this paragraph.
          (3) Crediting of part-time service.--
                  (A) In general.--In the case of a participant 
                whose service includes service on a part-time 
                basis performed after April 6, 1986, the 
                participant's annuity shall be the sum of the 
                amounts determined under subparagraphs (B) and 
                (C).
                  (B) Computation of pre-april 7, 1986, 
                annuity.--The portion of an annuity referred to 
                in subparagraph (A) with respect to service 
                before April 7, 1986, shall be the amount 
                computed under paragraph (1) using the 
                participant's length of service before that 
                date (increased by the unused sick leave to the 
                credit of the participant at the time of 
                retirement) and the participant's high-3 
                average pay[.], as determined by using the 
                annual rate of basic pay that would be payable 
                for full-time service in that position.
                  (C) Computation of post-april 6, 1986, 
                annuity.--The portion of an annuity referred to 
                in subparagraph (A) with respect to service 
                after April 6, 1986, shall be the product of--
                          (i) the amount computed under 
                        paragraph (1), using the participant's 
                        length of service after that date and 
                        the participant's high-3 average pay, 
                        as determined by using the annual rate 
                        of basic pay that would be payable for 
                        full-time service; and
                          (ii) the ratio which the 
                        participant's actual service after 
                        April 6, 1986 (as determined by 
                        prorating the participant's total 
                        service after that date to reflect the 
                        service that was performed on a part-
                        time basis) bears to the total service 
                        after that date that would be 
                        creditable for the participant if all 
                        the service had been performed on a 
                        full-time basis.
                  (D) Treatment of employment on temporary or 
                intermittent basis.--Employment on a temporary 
                or intermittent basis shall not be considered 
                to be service on a part-time basis for purposes 
                of this paragraph.
          (4) High-3 average pay defined.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, a participant's high-3 average pay is the 
        amount of the participant's average basic pay for the 
        highest 3 consecutive years of the participant's 
        service for which full contributions have been made to 
        the fund.
          (5) Computation of service.--In determining the 
        aggregate period of service upon which an annuity is to 
        be based, any fractional part of a month shall not be 
        counted.
  (b) Spouse or Former Spouse Survivor Annuity.--
          (1) Reduction in participant's annuity to provide 
        spouse or former spouse survivor annuity.--
                  (A) General rule.--Except to the extent 
                provided otherwise under a written election 
                under subparagraph (B) or (C), if at the time 
                of retirement a participant or former 
                participant is married (or has a former spouse 
                who has not remarried before attaining age 55), 
                the participant shall receive a reduced annuity 
                and provide a survivor annuity for the 
                participant's spouse under this subsection or 
                former spouse under section 222(b), or a 
                combination of such annuities, as the case may 
                be.
                  (B) Joint election for waiver or reduction of 
                spouse survivor annuity.--A married participant 
                or former participant and the participant's 
                spouse may jointly elect in writing at the time 
                of retirement to waive a survivor annuity for 
                that spouse under this section or to reduce 
                such survivor annuity under this section by 
                designating a portion of the annuity of the 
                participant as the base for the survivor 
                annuity. If the marriage is dissolved following 
                an election for such a reduced annuity and the 
                spouse qualifies as a former spouse, the base 
                used in calculating any annuity of the former 
                spouse under section 222(b) may not exceed the 
                portion of the participant's annuity designated 
                under this subparagraph.
                  (C) Joint election of participant and former 
                spouse.--If a participant or former participant 
                has a former spouse, such participant and the 
                participant's former spouse may jointly elect 
                by spousal agreement under section 264(b) to 
                waive, reduce, or increase a survivor annuity 
                under section 222(b) for that former spouse. 
                Any such election must be made (i) before the 
                end of the [12-month] 2-year period beginning 
                on the date on which the divorce or annulment 
                involving that former spouse becomes final, or 
                (ii) at the time of retirement of the 
                participant, whichever is later.
                  (D) Unilateral elections in absence of spouse 
                or former spouse.--The Director may prescribe 
                regulations under which a participant or former 
                participant may make an election under 
                subparagraph (B) or (C) without the 
                participant's spouse or former spouse if the 
                participant establishes to the satisfaction of 
                the Director that the participant does not 
                know, and has taken all reasonable steps to 
                determine, the whereabouts of the spouse or 
                former spouse.
          (2) Amount of reduction in participant's annuity.--
        The annuity of a participant or former participant 
        providing a survivor annuity under this section (or 
        section 222(b)), excluding any portion of the annuity 
        not designated or committed as a base for any survivor 
        annuity, shall be reduced by 2\1/2\ percent of the 
        first $3,600 plus 10 percent of any amount over $3,600. 
        The reduction under this paragraph shall be calculated 
        before any reduction under section 222(a)(5).
          (3) Amount of surviving spouse annuity.--
                  (A) In general.--If a retired participant 
                receiving a reduced annuity under this 
                subsection dies and is survived by a spouse, a 
                survivor annuity shall be paid to the surviving 
                spouse. The amount of the annuity shall be 
                equal to 55 percent of (i) the full amount of 
                the participant's annuity computed under 
                subsection (a), or (ii) any lesser amount 
                elected as the base for the survivor annuity 
                under paragraph (1)(B).
                  (B) Limitation.--Notwithstanding subparagraph 
                (A), the amount of the annuity calculated under 
                subparagraph (A) for a surviving spouse in any 
                case in which there is also a surviving former 
                spouse of the retired participant who qualifies 
                for an annuity under section 222(b) may not 
                exceed 55 percent of the portion (if any) of 
                the base for survivor annuities which remains 
                available under section 222(b)(4)(B).
                  (C) Effective date and termination of 
                annuity.--An annuity payable from the fund to a 
                surviving spouse under this paragraph shall 
                commence on the day after the retired 
                participant dies and shall terminate on the 
                last day of the month before the surviving 
                spouse's death or remarriage before attaining 
                age 55. If such survivor annuity is terminated 
                because of remarriage, it shall be restored at 
                the same rate commencing on the date such 
                remarriage is dissolved by death, annulment, or 
                divorce if any lump sum paid upon termination 
                of the annuity is returned to the fund.

                  (B) In the case of a child annuity payable 
                under paragraph (2), upon the death of a 
                surviving spouse or former spouse or 
                termination of the annuity of a child, the 
                annuities of any remaining children shall be 
                recomputed and paid as though the spouse, 
                former spouse, or child had not survived the 
                retired participant. If the annuity of a 
                surviving child who has not been receiving an 
                annuity is initiated or resumed, the annuities 
                of any other children shall be recomputed and 
                paid from that date as though the annuities of 
                all currently eligible children were then being 
                initiated.
          (5) Definition of former spouse.--For purposes of 
        this subsection, the term ``former spouse'' includes 
        any former wife or husband of the retired participant, 
        regardless of the length of marriage or the amount of 
        creditable service completed by the participant.
  (e) Commencement and Termination of Child Annuities.--
          (1) Commencement.--An annuity payable to a child 
        under subsection (d), or under section 232(c), shall 
        begin on the day after the date on which the 
        participant or retired participant dies or, in the case 
        of an individual over the age of 18 who is not a child 
        within the meaning of section 102(b), shall begin or 
        resume on the first day of the month in which the 
        individual later becomes or again becomes a student as 
        described in section 102(b). Such annuity may not 
        commence until any lump-sum that has been paid is 
        returned to the fund.
          (2) Termination.--Such an annuity shall terminate on 
        the last day of the month before the month in which the 
        recipient of the annuity dies or no longer qualifies as 
        a child (as defined in section 102(b)).
  (f) Participants Not Married at Time of Retirement.--
          (1) Designation of persons with insurable interest.--
                  (A) Authority to make designation.--Subject 
                to the rights of former spouses under sections 
                221(b) and 222, at the time of retirement an 
                unmarried participant found by the Director to 
                be in good health may elect to receive an 
                annuity reduced in accordance with subparagraph 
                (B) and designate in writing an individual 
                having an insurable interest in the participant 
                to receive an annuity under the system after 
                the participant's death. The amount of such an 
                annuity shall be equal to 55 percent of the 
                participant's reduced annuity.
                  (B) Reduction in participant's annuity.--The 
                annuity payable to the participant making such 
                election shall be reduced by 10 percent of an 
                annuity computed under subsection (a) and by an 
                additional 5 percent for each full 5 years the 
                designated individual is younger than the 
                participant. The total reduction under this 
                subparagraph may not exceed 40 percent.
                  (C) Commencement of survivor annuity.--The 
                annuity payable to the designated individual 
                shall begin on the day after the retired 
                participant dies and terminate on the last day 
                of the month before the designated individual 
                dies.
                  (D) Recomputation of participant's annuity on 
                death of designated individual.--An annuity 
                which is reduced under this paragraph shall, 
                effective the first day of the month following 
                the death of the designated individual, be 
                recomputed and paid as if the annuity had not 
                been so reduced.
          (2) Election of survivor annuity upon subsequent 
        marriage.--A participant who is unmarried at the time 
        of retirement and who later marries may irrevocably 
        elect, in a signed writing received by the Director 
        within [one year] two years after the marriage, to 
        receive a reduced annuity as provided in section 
        221(b). Such election and reduction shall be effective 
        on the first day of the month beginning 9 months after 
        the date of marriage. The election voids prospectively 
        any election previously made under paragraph (1).
  (g) Effect of Divorce After Retirement.--
          (1) Recomputation of retired participant's annuity 
        upon divorce.--An annuity which is reduced under this 
        section (or any similar prior provision of law) to 
        provide a survivor annuity for a spouse shall, if the 
        marriage of the retired participant to such spouse is 
        dissolved, be recomputed and paid for each full month 
        during which a retired participant is not married (or 
        is remarried, if there is no election in effect under 
        paragraph (2)) as if the annuity had not been so 
        reduced, subject to any reduction required to provide a 
        survivor annuity under subsection (b) or (c) of section 
        222 or under section 226.
          (2) Election of survivor annuity upon subsequent 
        remarriage.--
                  (A) In general.--Upon remarriage, the retired 
                participant may irrevocably elect, by means of 
                a signed writing received by the Director 
                within [one year] two years after such 
                remarriage, to receive a reduced annuity for 
                the purpose of providing an annuity for the new 
                spouse of the retired participant in the event 
                such spouse survives the retired participant. 
                Such reduction shall be equal to the reduction 
                in effect immediately before the dissolution of 
                the previous marriage (unless such reduction is 
                adjusted under section 222(b)(5) or elected 
                under subparagraph (B)).
                  (B) When annuity previously not (or not 
                fully) reduced.--
                          (i) Election.--If the retired 
                        participant's annuity was not reduced 
                        (or was not fully reduced) to provide a 
                        survivor annuity for the participant's 
                        spouse or former spouse as of the time 
                        of retirement, the retired participant 
                        may make an election under the first 
                        sentence of subparagraph (A) upon 
                        remarriage to a spouse other than the 
                        spouse at the time of retirement. For 
                        any remarriage that occurred before 
                        August 14, 1991, the retired 
                        participant may make such an election 
                        within 2 years after such date.
                          (ii) Deposit required.--
                                  (I) The retired participant 
                                shall, within [one year] two 
                                years after the date of the 
                                remarriage (or by August 14, 
                                1993 for any remarriage that 
                                occurred before August 14, 
                                1991), deposit in the fund an 
                                amount determined by the 
                                Director, as nearly as may be 
                                administratively feasible, to 
                                reflect the amount by which the 
                                retired participant's annuity 
                                would have been reduced if the 
                                election had been in effect 
                                since the date the annuity 
                                commenced, plus interest.
                                  (II) The annual rate of 
                                interest for each year during 
                                which the retired participant's 
                                annuity would have been reduced 
                                if the election had been in 
                                effect since the date the 
                                annuity commenced shall be 6 
                                percent.
                                  (III) If the retired 
                                participant does not make the 
                                deposit, the Director shall 
                                collect such amount by offset 
                                against the participant's 
                                annuity, up to a maximum of 25 
                                percent of the net annuity 
                                otherwise payable to the 
                                retired participant, and the 
                                retired participant is deemed 
                                to consent to such offset.
                                  (IV) The deposit required by 
                                this subparagraph may be made 
                                by the surviving spouse of the 
                                retired participant.
                  (C) Effects of election.--An election under 
                this paragraph and the reduction in the 
                participant's annuity shall be effective on the 
                first day of the month beginning 9 months after 
                the date of remarriage. A survivor annuity 
                elected under this paragraph shall be treated 
                in all respects as a survivor annuity under 
                subsection (b).
  (h) Conditional Election of Insurable Interest Survivor 
Annuity by Participants Married at the Time of Retirement.--
          (1)  authority to make designation.--Subject to the 
        rights of former spouses under subsection (b) and 
        section 222, at the time of retirement a married 
        participant found by the Director to be in good health 
        may elect to receive an annuity reduced in accordance 
        with subsection (f)(1)(B) and designate in writing an 
        individual having an insurable interest in the 
        participant to receive an annuity under the system 
        after the participant's death, except that any such 
        election to provide an insurable interest survivor 
        annuity to the participant's spouse shall only be 
        effective if the participant's spouse waives the 
        spousal right to a survivor annuity under this Act. The 
        amount of the annuity shall be equal to 55 percent of 
        the participant's reduced annuity.
          (2) Reduction in participant's annuity.--The annuity 
        payable to the participant making such election shall 
        be reduced by 10 percent of an annuity computed under 
        subsection (a) and by an additional 5 percent for each 
        full 5 years the designated individual is younger than 
        the participant. The total reduction under this 
        subparagraph may not exceed 40 percent.
          (3) Commencement of survivor annuity.--The annuity 
        payable to the designated individual shall begin on the 
        day after the retired participant dies and terminate on 
        the last day of the month before the designated 
        individual dies.
          (4) Recomputation of participant's annuity on death 
        of designated individual.--An annuity that is reduced 
        under this subsection shall, effective the first day of 
        the month following the death of the designated 
        individual, be recomputed and paid as if the annuity 
        had not been so reduced.
  [(h)] (i) Coordination of Annuities.--
          (1) Surviving spouse.--A surviving spouse whose 
        survivor annuity was terminated because of remarriage 
        before attaining age 55 shall not be entitled under 
        subsection (b)(3)(C) to the restoration of that 
        survivor annuity payable from the fund unless the 
        surviving spouse elects to receive it instead of any 
        other survivor annuity to which the surviving spouse 
        may be entitled under the system or any other 
        retirement system for Government employees by reason of 
        the remarriage.
          (2) Former spouse.--A surviving former spouse of a 
        participant or retired participant shall not become 
        entitled under section 222(b) or 224 to a survivor 
        annuity or to the restoration of a survivor annuity 
        payable from the fund unless the surviving former 
        spouse elects to receive it instead of any other 
        survivor annuity to which the surviving former spouse 
        may be entitled under this or any other retirement 
        system for Government employees on the basis of a 
        marriage to someone other than the participant.
          (3) Surviving spouse of post-retirement marriage.--A 
        surviving spouse who married a participant after the 
        participant's retirement shall be entitled to a 
        survivor annuity payable from the fund only upon 
        electing that annuity instead of any other survivor 
        annuity to which the surviving spouse may be entitled 
        under this or any other retirement system for 
        Government employees on the basis of a marriage to 
        someone other than the retired participant.
  [(i)] (j) Supplemental Survivor Annuities.--
          (1) Spouse of recalled annuitant.--A married recalled 
        annuitant who reverts to retired status with 
        entitlement to a supplemental annuity under section 
        271(b) shall, unless the annuitant and the annuitant's 
        spouse jointly elect in writing to the contrary at the 
        time of reversion to retired status, have the 
        supplemental annuity reduced by 10 percent to provide a 
        supplemental survivor annuity for the annuitant's 
        spouse. Such supplemental survivor annuity shall be 
        equal to 55 percent of the supplemental annuity of the 
        annuitant.
          (2) Regulations.--The Director shall prescribe 
        regulations to provide for the application of paragraph 
        (1) of this subsection and of subsection (b) of section

        spouse who was married to the recalled annuitant at any

Code, under conditions consistent with the conditions 
prescribed in that section.

          (1) Pro rata share.--Unless otherwise expressly 
        provided by a spousal agreement or court order under 
        section 264(b), a former spouse of a participant, 
        former participant, or retired participant is entitled 
        to an annuity--
                  (A) if married to the participant, former 
                participant, or retired participant throughout 
                the creditable service of the participant, 
                equal to 50 percent of the annuity of the 
                participant; or
                  (B) if not married to the participant 
                throughout such creditable service, equal to 
                that proportion of 50 percent of such annuity 
                that is the proportion that the number of days 
                of the marriage of the former spouse to the 
                participant during periods of creditable 
                service of such participant under this title 
                bears to the total number of days of such 
                creditable service.
          (2) Disqualification upon remarriage before age 55.--
        A former spouse is not qualified for an annuity under 
        this subsection if before the commencement of that

        years of age.
          (3) Commencement of annuity.--The annuity of a former 
        spouse under this subsection commences on the day the 
        participant upon whose service the annuity is based

        the first day of the month after the divorce or 
        annulment involved becomes final, whichever is later.
          (4) Termination of annuity.--The annuity of such 
        former spouse and the right thereto terminate on--
                  (A) the last day of the month before the 
                month in which the former spouse dies or 
                remarries before 55 years of age; or
                  (B) the date on which the annuity of the 
                participant terminates (except in the case of 
                an annuity subject to paragraph (5)(B)).
          (5) Treatment of participant's annuity.--
                  (A) Reduction in participant's annuity.--The 
                annuity payable to any participant shall be 
                reduced by the amount of an annuity under this 
                subsection paid to any former spouse based upon 
                the service of that participant. Such reduction 
                shall be disregarded in calculating--
                          (i) the survivor annuity for any 
                        spouse, former spouse, or other 
                        survivor under this title; and
                          (ii) any reduction in the annuity of 
                        the participant to provide survivor 
                        benefits under subsection (b) or under 
                        section 221(b).
                  (B) Treatment when annuitant returns to 
                service.--If an annuitant whose annuity is 
                reduced under subparagraph (A) is recalled to 
                service under section 271, or reinstated or 
                reappointed, in the case of a recovered 
                disability annuitant, or if any annuitant is 
                reemployed as provided for under sections 272 
                and 273, the pay of that annuitant shall be 
                reduced by the same amount as the annuity would 
                have been reduced if it had continued. Amounts 
                equal to the reductions under this subparagraph 
                shall be deposited in the Treasury of the 
                United States to the credit of the fund.
          (6) Disability annuitant.--Notwithstanding paragraph 
        (3), in the case of a former spouse of a disability 
        annuitant--
                  (A) the annuity of that former spouse shall 
                commence on the date on which the participant 
                would qualify on the basis of the participant's 
                creditable service for an annuity under this 
                title (other than a disability annuity) or the 
                date on which the disability annuity begins, 
                whichever is later, and
                  (B) the amount of the annuity of the former 
                spouse shall be calculated on the basis of the 
                annuity for which the participant would 
                otherwise so qualify.
          (7) Election of benefits.--A former spouse of a 
        participant, former participant, or retired participant 
        shall not become entitled under this subsection to an 
        annuity payable from the fund unless the former spouse 
        elects to receive it instead of any survivor annuity to 
        which the former spouse may be entitled under this or 
        any other retirement system for Government employees on 
        the basis of a marriage to someone other than the 
        participant.
          (8) Limitation in case of multiple former spouse 
        annuities.--No spousal agreement or court order under 
        section 264(b) involving a participant may provide for 
        an annuity or a combination of annuities under this 
        subsection that exceeds the annuity of the participant.
  (b) Former Spouse Survivor Annuity.--
          (1) Pro rata share.--Subject to any election under 
        section 221(b)(1)(B) and (C) and unless otherwise 
        expressly provided by a spousal agreement or court 
        order under section 264(b), if an annuitant is survived 
        by a former spouse, the former spouse shall be 
        entitled--
                  (A) if married to the annuitant throughout 
                the creditable service of the annuitant, to a 
                survivor annuity equal to 55 percent of the 
                unreduced amount of the annuitant's annuity, as 
                computed under section 221(a); and
                  (B) if not married to the annuitant 
                throughout such creditable service, to a 
                survivor annuity equal to that proportion of 55 
                percent of the unreduced amount of such annuity 
                that is the proportion that the number of days 
                of the marriage of the former spouse to the 
                participant during periods of creditable 
                service of such participant under this title 
                bears to the total number of days of such 
                creditable service.
          (2) Disqualification upon remarriage before age 55.--
        A former spouse shall not be qualified for an annuity 
        under this subsection if before the commencement of 
        that annuity the former spouse remarries before 
        becoming 55 years of age.
          (3) Commencement, termination, and restoration of 
        annuity.--An annuity payable from the fund under this 
        title to a surviving former spouse under this 
        subsection shall commence on the day after the 
        annuitant dies and shall terminate on the last day of 
        the month before the former spouse's death or 
        remarriage before attaining age 55. If such a survivor 
        annuity is terminated because of remarriage, it shall 
        be restored at the same rate commencing on the date 
        such remarriage is dissolved by death, annulment, or 
        divorce if any lump sum paid upon termination of the 
        annuity is returned to the fund.
          (4) Survivor annuity amount.--
                  (A) Maximum amount.--The maximum survivor 
                annuity or combination of survivor annuities 
                under this subsection (and section 221(b)(3)) 
                with respect to any participant may not exceed 
                55 percent of the full amount of the 
                participant's annuity, as calculated under 
                section 221(a).
                  (B) Limitation on other survivor annuities 
                based on service of same participant.--Once a 
                survivor annuity has been provided under this 
                subsection for any former spouse, a survivor 
                annuity for another individual may thereafter 
                be provided under this subsection (or section 
                221(b)(3)) with respect to the participant only 
                for that portion (if any) of the maximum 
                available which is not committed for survivor 
                benefits for any former spouse whose 
                prospective right to such annuity has not 
                terminated by reason of death or remarriage.
                  (C) Finality of court order upon death of 
                participant.--After the death of a participant 
                or retired participant, a court order under 
                section 264(b) may not adjust the amount of the 
                annuity of a former spouse of that participant 
                or retired participant under this section.
          (5) Effect of termination of former spouse 
        entitlement.--
                  (A) Recomputation of participant's annuity.--
                If a former spouse of a retired participant 
                dies or remarries before attaining age 55, the 
                annuity of the retired participant, if reduced 
                to provide a survivor annuity for that former 
                spouse, shall be recomputed and paid, effective 
                on the first day of the month beginning after 
                such death or remarriage, as if the annuity had 
                not been so reduced, unless an election is in 
                effect under subparagraph (B).
                  (B) Election of spouse annuity.--Subject to 
                paragraph (4)(B), the participant may elect in 
                writing within [one year] two years after 
                receipt of notice of the death or remarriage of 
                the former spouse to continue the reduction in 
                order to provide a higher survivor annuity 
                under section 221(b)(3) for any spouse of the 
                participant.
  (c) Optional Additional Survivor Annuities for Other Former 
Spouse or Surviving Spouse.--
          (1) In general.--In the case of any participant 
        providing a survivor annuity under subsection (b) for a 
        former spouse--
                  (A) such participant may elect, or
                  (B) a spousal agreement or court order under 
                section 264(b) may provide for,
        an additional survivor annuity under this subsection 
        for any other former spouse or spouse surviving the 
        participant, if the participant satisfactorily passes a 
        physical examination as prescribed by the Director.
          (2) Limitation.--Neither the total amount of survivor 
        annuity or annuities under this subsection with respect 
        to any participant, nor the survivor annuity or 
        annuities for any one surviving spouse or former spouse 
        of such participant under this section or section 221, 
        may exceed 55 percent of the unreduced amount of the 
        participant's annuity, as computed under section 
        221(a).

                        an allotment from the basic pay of the 
                        participant;
                          (ii) by a lump-sum payment or 
                        installment payments to the fund; or
                          (iii) by any combination thereof.
                  (B) Actuarial equivalence to benefit.--The

                actuarially equivalent in value to such 
                annuity, as calculated upon such tables of 
                mortality as may from time to time be 
                prescribed for this purpose by the Director.

                predeceases the participant or remarries before 
                attaining age 55 (or, in the case of a spouse, 
                the spouse predeceases the participant or does 
                not qualify as a former spouse upon dissolution 
                of the marriage)--

                        allotment under subparagraph (A) is in 
                        effect for that spouse or former 
                        spouse, the annuity shall be recomputed 
                        and paid as if it had not been reduced 
                        or the pay allotment terminated, as the 
                        case may be; and
                          (ii) any amount accruing to the fund 
                        under subparagraph (A) shall be 
                        refunded, but only to the extent that 
                        such amount may have exceeded the 
                        actuarial cost of providing benefits 
                        under this subsection for the period 
                        such benefits were provided, as

                and a refund provided (if appropriate), in a 
                manner comparable to that provided under 
                subparagraph (C), in order to reflect a 
                termination or reduction of future benefits 
                under this subsection for a spouse in the event 
                a former spouse of the participant dies or 
                remarries before attaining age 55 and an 
                increased annuity is provided for that spouse

        at the time of death and age 60.
          (3) Limitation.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1), if 
        the participant had a former spouse qualifying for an

        becoming a participant that would be creditable toward 
        retirement under subchapter III of chapter 83 of title 
        5, United States Code (as determined under section 
        8332(b) of such title); and
          (2) honorable active service in the Armed Forces 
        before the date of the separation upon which 
        eligibility for an annuity is based, or honorable 
        active service in the Regular or Reserve Corps of the 
        Public Health Service after June 30, 1960, or as a 
        commissioned officer of the National Oceanic and 
        Atmospheric Administration after June 30, 1961.
  (b) Limitations.--
          (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraphs (2) 
        and (3), the total service of any participant shall 
        exclude--
                  (A) any period of civilian service on or 
                after October 1, 1982, for which retirement 
                deductions or deposits have not been made,
                  (B) any period of service for which a refund 
                of contributions has been made, or
                  (C) any period of service for which 
                contributions were not transferred pursuant to 
                subsection (c)(1);
        unless the participant makes a deposit to the fund in 
        an amount equal to the percentages of basic pay 
        received for such service as specified in the table 
        contained in section 8334(c) of title 5, United States 
        Code, together with interest computed in accordance

        made in one or more installments (including by 
        allotment from pay), as determined by the Director.
          (2) Effect of retirement deductions not made.--If a 
        participant has not paid a deposit for civilian service 
        performed before October 1, 1982, for which retirement 
        deductions were not made, such participant's annuity 
        shall be reduced by 10 percent of the deposit described 
        in paragraph (1) remaining unpaid, unless the 
        participant elects to eliminate the service involved 
        for the purpose of the annuity computation.
          (3) Effect of refund of retirement contributions.--A 
        participant who received a refund of retirement 
        contributions under this or any other retirement system 
        for Government employees covering service for which the 
        participant may be allowed credit under this title may 
        deposit the amount received, with interest computed 
        under paragraph (1). Credit may not be allowed for the 
        service covered by the refund until the deposit is 
        made, except that a participant who--
                  (A) separated from Government service before 
                [October 1, 1990] March 31, 1991, and received 
                a refund of the participant's retirement 
                contributions covering a period of service 
                ending before [October 1, 1990] March 31, 1991;

                commences after December 1, 1992; and
                  (C) does not make the deposit required to 
                receive credit for the service covered by the 
                refund;
        shall be entitled to an annuity actuarially reduced in 
        accordance with section 8334(d)(2)(B) of title 5, 
        United States Code.
          (4) Entitlement under another system.--Credit toward 
        retirement under the system shall not be allowed for 
        any period of civilian service on the basis of which 
        the participant is receiving (or will in the future be 
        entitled to receive) an annuity under another 
        retirement system for Government employees, unless the 
        right to such annuity is waived and a deposit is made 
        under paragraph (1) covering that period of service, or 
        a transfer is made pursuant to subsection (c).
  (c) Transfer From Other Government Retirement Systems.--
          (1) In general.--If an employee who is under another 
        retirement system for Government employees becomes a 
        participant in the system by direct transfer, the 
        Government's contributions (including interest accrued 
        thereon computed in accordance with section 8334(e) of 
        title 5, United States Code) under such retirement 
        system on behalf of the employee as well as such 
        employee's total contributions and deposits (including 
        interest accrued thereon), except voluntary 
        contributions, shall be transferred to the employee's 
        credit in the fund effective as of the date such 
        employee becomes a participant in the system.
          (2) Consent of employee.--Each such employee shall be 
        deemed to consent to the transfer of such funds, and 
        such transfer shall be a complete discharge and 
        acquittance of all claims and demands against the other 
        Government retirement fund on account of service 
        rendered before becoming a participant in the system.
          (3) Additional contributions; refunds.--A participant 
        whose contributions are transferred pursuant to 
        paragraph (1) shall not be required to make additional 
        contributions for periods of service for which full 
        contributions were made to the other Government 
        retirement fund, nor shall any refund be made to any 
        such participant on account of contributions made 
        during any period to the other Government retirement 
        fund at a higher rate than that fixed for employees by 
        section 8334(c) of title 5, United States Code, for 
        contributions to the fund.
  (d) Transfer to Other Government Retirement Systems.--
          (1) In general.--If a participant in the system 
        becomes an employee under another Government retirement 
        system by direct transfer to employment covered by such 
        system, the Government's contributions (including 
        interest accrued thereon computed in accordance with 
        section 8334(e) of title 5, United States Code) to the 
        fund on the participant's behalf as well as the 
        participant's total contributions and deposits 
        (including interest accrued thereon), except voluntary 
        contributions, shall be transferred to the 
        participant's credit in the fund of such other 
        retirement system effective as of the date on which the 
        participant becomes eligible to participate in such 
        other retirement system.
          (2) Consent of employee.--Each such employee shall be 
        deemed to consent to the transfer of such funds, and 
        such transfer shall be a complete discharge and 
        acquittance of all claims and demands against the fund 
        on account of service rendered before the participant's 
        becoming eligible for participation in that other 
        system.
  (e) Prior Military Service Credit.--
          (1) Application to obtain credit.--If a deposit 
        required to obtain credit for prior military service 
        described in subsection (a)(2) was not made to another 
        Government retirement fund and transferred under 
        subsection (c)(1), the participant may obtain credit 
        for such military service, subject to the provisions of 
        this subsection and subsections (f) through (h), by 
        applying for it to the Director before retirement or 
        separation from the Agency.
          (2) Employment starting before, on, or after october 
        1, 1982.--Except as provided in paragraph (3)--
                  (A) the service of a participant who first 
                became a Federal employee before October 1, 
                1982, shall include credit for each period of 
                military service performed before the date of 
                separation on which entitlement to an annuity 
                under this title is based, subject to section 
                252(f); and
                  (B) the service of a participant who first 
                becomes a Federal employee on or after October 
                1, 1982, shall include credit for--
                          (i) each period of military service 
                        performed before January 1, 1957, and
                          (ii) each period of military service 
                        performed after December 31, 1956, and 
                        before the separation on which 
                        entitlement to an annuity under this 
                        title is based, only if a deposit (with 
                        interest, if any) is made with respect 
                        to that period, as provided in 
                        subsection (h).
          (3) Effect of receipt of military retired pay.--In 
        the case of a participant who is entitled to retired 
        pay based on a period of military service, the 
        participant's service may not include credit for such 
        period of military service unless the retired pay is 
        paid--
                  (A) on account of a service-connected 
                disability--
                          (i) incurred in combat with an enemy 
                        of the United States; or
                          (ii) caused by an instrumentality of 
                        war and incurred in the line of duty 
                        during a period of war (as defined in 
                        section 1101 of title 38, United States 
                        Code); or
                  (B) under chapter 67 of title 10, United 
                States Code.
          (4) Survivor annuity.--Notwithstanding paragraph (3), 
        the survivor annuity of a survivor of a participant--
                  (A) who was awarded retired pay based on any 
                period of military service, and
                  (B) whose death occurs before separation from 
                the Agency,
        shall be computed in accordance with section 8332(c)(3) 
        of title 5, United States Code.
  (f) Effect of Entitlement to Social Security Benefits.--
          (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision 
        of this section (except paragraph (3) of this 
        subsection) or section 253, any military service (other 
        than military service covered by military leave with 
        pay from a civilian position) performed by a 
        participant after December 1956 shall be excluded in 
        determining the aggregate period of service on which an 
        annuity payable under this title to such participant or 
        to the participant's spouse, former spouse, previous 
        spouse, or child is based, if such participant, spouse, 
        former spouse, previous spouse, or child is entitled 
        (or would upon proper application be entitled), at the 
        time of such determination, to monthly old-age or 
        survivors' insurance benefits under section 202 of the 
        Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 402), based on such 
        participant's wages and self-employment income. If the 
        military service is not excluded under the preceding 
        sentence, but upon attaining age 62, the participant or 
        spouse, former spouse, or previous spouse becomes 
        entitled (or would upon proper application be entitled) 
        to such benefits, the aggregate period of service on 
        which the annuity is based shall be redetermined, 
        effective as of the first day of the month in which the 
        participant or spouse, former spouse, or previous 
        spouse attains age 62, so as to exclude such service.
          (2) Limitation.--The provisions of paragraph (1) 
        relating to credit for military service do not apply 
        to--
                  (A) any period of military service of a 
                participant with respect to which the 
                participant has made a deposit with interest, 
                if any, under subsection (h); or
                  (B) the military service of any participant 
                described in subsection (e)(2)(B).
          (3) Effect of entitlement before september 8, 1982.--
        (A) The annuity recomputation required by paragraph (1) 
        shall not apply to any participant who was entitled to 
        an annuity under this title on or before September 8, 
        1982, or who is entitled to a deferred annuity based on 
        separation from the Agency occurring on or before such 
        date. Instead of an annuity recomputation, the annuity 
        of such participant shall be reduced at age 62 by an 
        amount equal to a fraction of the participant's old-age 
        or survivors' insurance benefits under section 202 of 
        the Social Security Act. The reduction shall be 
        determined by multiplying the participant's monthly 
        Social Security benefit by a fraction, the numerator of 
        which is the participant's total military wages and 
        deemed additional wages (within the meaning of section 
        229 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 429)) that 
        were subject to Social Security deductions and the 
        denominator of which is the total of all the 
        participant's wages, including military wages, and all 
        self-employment income that were subject to Social 
        Security deductions before the calendar year in which 
        the determination month occurs.
          (B) The reduction determined in accordance with 
        subparagraph (A) shall not be greater than the 
        reduction that would be required under paragraph (1) if 
        such paragraph applied to the participant. The new 
        formula shall be applicable to any annuity payment 
        payable after October 1, 1982, including annuity 
        payments to participants who had previously reached age 
        62 and whose annuities had already been recomputed.
          (C) For purposes of this paragraph, the term 
        ``determination month'' means--
                  (i) the first month for which the participant 
                is entitled to old-age or survivors' insurance 
                benefits (or would be entitled to such benefits 
                upon application therefor); or
                  (ii) October 1982, in the case of any 
                participant entitled to such benefits for that 
                month.
  (g) Deposits Paid by Survivors.--For the purpose of survivor 
annuities, deposits authorized by subsections (b) and (h) may 
also be made by the survivor of a participant.
  (h)(1)(A) Each participant who has performed military service 
before the date of separation on which entitlement to an 
annuity under this title is based may pay to the Agency an 
amount equal to 7 percent of the amount of basic pay paid under 
section 204 of title 37, United States Code, to the participant 
for each period of military service after December 1956; 
except, the amount to be paid for military service performed 
beginning on January 1, 1999, through December 31, 2000, shall 
be as follows:


                                7.25 percent of basic   January 1, 1999, to December 31, 1999.
                                 pay.
                                7.4 percent of basic    January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2000.
                                 pay.
 

  (B) The amount of such payments shall be based on such 
evidence of basic pay for military service as the participant 
may provide or, if the Director determines sufficient evidence 
has not been provided to adequately determine basic pay for 
military service, such payment shall be based upon estimates of 
such basic pay provided to the Director under paragraph (4).
          (2) Any deposit made under paragraph (1) more than 
        two years after the later of--
                  (A) October 1, 1983, or
                  (B) the date on which the participant making 
                the deposit first becomes an employee of the 
                Federal Government,
        shall include interest on such amount computed and 
        compounded annually beginning on the date of expiration 
        of the two-year period. The interest rate that is 
        applicable in computing interest in any year under this 
        paragraph shall be equal to the interest rate that is 
        applicable for such year under section 8334(e) of title 
        5, United States Code.
          (3) Any payment received by the Director under this 
        subsection shall be deposited in the Treasury of the 
        United States to the credit of the fund.
          (4) The provisions of section [221(k)] 221(l) shall 
        apply with respect to such information as the Director 
        determines to be necessary for the administration of 
        this subsection in the same manner that such section 
        applies concerning information described in that 
        section.

        operation of such system.
  (b) Authority.--Subject to subsection (c) and in consultation 
with the Director of National Intelligence, the head of a

        other relevant officials of the covered agency;
          (2) making a determination in writing, which may be

                  (A) use of the authority in subsection (b)(1) 
                is necessary to protect national security by 
                reducing supply chain risk;
                  (B) less intrusive measures are not 
                reasonably available to reduce such supply 
                chain risk; and

                agency plans to limit disclosure of information 
                under subsection (b)(2), the risk to national 
                security due to the disclosure of such 
                information outweighs the risk due to not 
                disclosing such information;
          (3) notifying the Director of National Intelligence 
        that there is a significant supply chain risk to the

        covered agency making the determination is the Director 
        of National Intelligence; and

        form, of the determination made under paragraph (2) to 
        the congressional intelligence committees that includes 
        a summary of the basis for the determination, including 
        a discussion of less intrusive measures that were 
        considered and why they were not reasonably available 
        to reduce supply chain risk.
  (d) Delegation.--The head of a covered agency may not 
delegate the authority provided in subsection (b) or the 
responsibility to make a determination under subsection (c) to 
an official below the level of the service acquisition 
executive for the agency concerned.
  (e) Savings.--The authority under this section is in addition 
to any other authority under any other provision of law. The 
authority under this section shall not be construed to alter or 
effect the exercise of any other provision of law.
  (f) Effective Date.--The requirements of this section shall 
take effect on the date that is 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act and shall apply to contracts that are 
awarded on or after such date.
  [(g) Sunset.--The authority provided in this section shall 
expire on the date that section 806 of the Ike Skelton National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-
383; 10 U.S.C. 2304 note) expires.]

  (a) Enhanced Personnel Security Program.--The Director of 
National Intelligence shall direct each agency to implement a 
program to provide enhanced security review of covered 
individuals--
          (1) in accordance with this section; and
          (2) not later than the earlier of--
                  (A) the date that is 5 years after the date 
                of the enactment of the Intelligence 
                Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016; or
                  (B) the date on which the backlog of overdue 
                periodic reinvestigations of covered 
                individuals is eliminated, as determined by the 
                Director of National Intelligence.
  (b) Comprehensiveness.--
          (1) Sources of information.--The enhanced personnel 
        security program of an agency shall integrate relevant 
        and appropriate information from various sources, 
        including government, publicly available, and 
        commercial data sources, consumer reporting agencies, 
        social media, and such other sources as determined by 
        the Director of National Intelligence.
          (2) Types of information.--Information obtained and 
        integrated from sources described in paragraph (1) may 
        include--
                  (A) information relating to any criminal or

                head of the agency shall conduct or request the 
                conduct of automated record checks and checks 
                of information from sources under subsection 
                (b) to ensure the continued eligibility of each 
                covered individual to access classified 
                information and hold a sensitive position 
                unless more frequent reviews of automated 
                record checks and checks of information from 
                sources under subsection (b) are conducted on 
                the covered individual.
                  (B) Scope of reviews.--Except for a covered 
                individual who is subject to more frequent 
                reviews to ensure the continued eligibility of 
                the covered individual to access classified 
                information and hold a sensitive position, the 
                reviews under subparagraph (A) shall consist of 
                random or aperiodic checks of covered 
                individuals, such that each covered individual 
                is subject to at least 2 reviews during the 5-
                year period beginning on the date on which the 
                agency implements the enhanced personnel 
                security program of an agency, and during each 
                5-year period thereafter.
                  (C) Individual reviews.--A review of the 
                information relating to the continued 
                eligibility of a covered individual to access 
                classified information and hold a sensitive 
                position under subparagraph (A) may not be 
                conducted until after the end of the 120-day 
                period beginning on the date the covered 
                individual receives the notification required 
                under paragraph (3).
          (2) Results.--The head of an agency shall take 
        appropriate action if a review under paragraph (1) 
        finds relevant information that may affect the 
        continued eligibility of a covered individual to access 
        classified information and hold a sensitive position.
          (3) Information for covered individuals.--The head of 
        an agency shall ensure that each covered individual is 
        adequately advised of the types of relevant security or 
        counterintelligence information the covered individual 
        is required to report to the head of the agency.
          (4) Limitation.--Nothing in this subsection shall be 
        construed to affect the authority of an agency to 
        determine the appropriate weight to be given to 
        information relating to a covered individual in 
        evaluating the continued eligibility of the covered 
        individual.
          (5) Authority of the president.--Nothing in this 
        subsection shall be construed as limiting the authority 
        of the President to direct or perpetuate periodic 
        reinvestigations of a more comprehensive nature or to 
        delegate the authority to direct or perpetuate such 
        reinvestigations.
          (6) Effect on other reviews.--Reviews conducted under 
        paragraph (1) are in addition to investigations and 
        reinvestigations conducted pursuant to section 3001 of 
        the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 
        2004 (50 U.S.C. 3341).

        1 [audit] review to assess the effectiveness and 
        fairness, which shall be determined in accordance with 
        performance measures and standards established by the 
        Director of National Intelligence, to covered 
        individuals of the enhanced personnel security program 
        of the agency.
          (2) Submissions to dni.--The results of each [audit]

                        risk posed by the imminent threat 
                        outweighs any adverse consequences

                        use of the intrusion detection and
