SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) on May 12, 2011, the President requested that Congress 
        extend the term of Robert S. Mueller III as Director of the 
        Federal Bureau of Investigation by 2 years, citing the critical 
        need for continuity and stability at the Federal Bureau of 
        Investigation in the face of ongoing threats to the United 
        States and leadership transitions at the Federal agencies 
        charged with protecting national security;
            (2) in light of the May 1, 2011, successful operation 
        against Osama bin Laden, the continuing threat to national 
        security, and the approaching 10th anniversary of the attacks 
        of September 11, 2001, the President's request for a limited, 
        1-time exception to the term limit of the Director of the 
        Federal Bureau of Investigation, in these exceptional 
        circumstances, is appropriate; and
            (3) this Act is intended to provide a 1-time exception to 
        the 10-year statutory limit on the term of the Director of the 
        Federal Bureau of Investigation in light of the President's 
        request and existing exceptional circumstances, and is not 
        intended to create a precedent.

SEC. 2. EXTENSION OF THE TERM OF THE INCUMBENT DIRECTOR OF THE FEDERAL 
              BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.

    (a) In General.--At the request of the President, the incumbent in 
the office of the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on 
the date of the enactment of this Act may continue in office until 
August 3, 2013, in accordance with the amendment made by subsection 
(b).
    (b) Extension of the Term.--Section 1101 of the Omnibus Crime 
Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (28 U.S.C. 532 note) is amended by 
adding at the end the following:
    ``(c) With respect to the individual who is the incumbent in the 
office of the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on the 
date of enactment of this subsection, subsection (b) shall be applied--
            ``(1) in the first sentence, by substituting `12 years' for 
        `ten years'; and
            ``(2) in the second sentence, by substituting `12-year 
        term' for `ten-year term'.''.
