To facilitate alternative analyses of intelligence by the intelligence 
                               community.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. ALTERNATIVE ANALYSES OF INTELLIGENCE BY THE INTELLIGENCE 
              COMMUNITY.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Director of Central Intelligence should consider the advisability of 
establishing for each element of the intelligence community an element, 
office, or component whose purpose is the alternative analysis 
(commonly referred to as a ``red-team analysis'') of the information 
and conclusions in the intelligence products of such element of the 
intelligence community.
    (b) Report.--(1) Not later than one year after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Director of Central Intelligence shall 
submit to Congress a report on the actions taken to establish for each 
element of the intelligence community an element, office, or component 
described in subsection (a).
    (2) The report shall be submitted in an unclassified form, but may 
include a classified annex.
                                 <all>
