SEC. 404. ENCOURAGING COOPERATIVE ACTIONS TO DETECT AND COUNTER FOREIGN 
              INFLUENCE OPERATIONS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Russian Federation, through military intelligence 
        units, also known as the ``GRU'', and Kremlin-linked troll 
        organizations often referred to as the ``Internet Research 
        Agency'', deploy information warfare operations against the 
        United States, its allies and partners, with the goal of 
        advancing the strategic interests of the Russian Federation.
            (2) One line of effort deployed as part of these 
        information warfare operations is the weaponization of social 
        media platforms with the goals of intensifying societal 
        tensions, undermining trust in governmental institutions within 
        the United States, its allies and partners in the West, and 
        generally sowing division, fear, and confusion.
            (3) These information warfare operations are a threat to 
        the national security of the United States and that of the 
        allies and partners of the United States. As Director of 
        National Intelligence Dan Coats stated, ``These actions are 
        persistent, they are pervasive and they are meant to undermine 
        America's democracy.''.
            (4) These information warfare operations continue to evolve 
        and increase in sophistication.
            (5) Other foreign adversaries and hostile non-state actors 
        will increasingly adopt similar tactics of deploying 
        information warfare operations against the West.
            (6) Technological advances, including artificial 
        intelligence, will only make it more difficult in the future to 
        detect fraudulent accounts, deceptive material posted on social 
        media, and malign behavior on social media platforms.
            (7) Because these information warfare operations are 
        deployed within and across private social media platforms, the 
        companies that own these platforms have a responsibility to 
        detect and remove foreign adversary networks operating 
        clandestinely on their platforms.
            (8) The social media companies are inherently 
        technologically sophisticated and adept at rapidly analyzing 
        large amounts of data and developing software-based solutions 
        to diverse and ever-changing challenges on their platforms, 
        which makes them well-equipped to address the threat occurring 
        on their platforms.
            (9) Independent analyses confirmed Kremlin-linked threat 
        networks, based on data provided by several social media 
        companies to the Select Committee on Intelligence of the 
        Senate, thereby demonstrating that it is possible to discern 
        both broad patterns of cross-platform information warfare 
        operations and specific fraudulent behavior on social media 
        platforms.
            (10) General Paul Nakasone, Director of the National 
        Security Agency, emphasized the importance of these independent 
        analyses to the planning and conduct of military cyber 
        operations to frustrate Kremlin-linked information warfare 
        operations against the 2018 mid-term elections. General 
        Nakasone stated that the reports ``were very, very helpful in 
        terms of being able to understand exactly what our adversary 
        was trying to do to build dissent within our nation.''.
            (11) Institutionalizing ongoing robust, independent, and 
        vigorous analysis of data related to foreign threat networks 
        within and across social media platforms will help counter 
        ongoing information warfare operations against the United 
        States, its allies, and its partners.
            (12) Archiving and disclosing to the public the results of 
        these analyses by the social media companies and trusted third-
        party experts in a transparent manner will serve to demonstrate 
        that the social media companies are detecting and removing 
        foreign malign activities from their platforms while protecting 
        the privacy of the people of the United States and will build 
        public understanding of the scale and scope of these foreign 
        threats to our democracy, since exposure is one of the most 
        effective means to build resilience.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the social media companies should cooperate among 
        themselves and with independent organizations and researchers 
        on a sustained and regular basis to share and analyze data and 
        indicators relevant to foreign information warfare operations 
        within and across their platforms in order to detect and 
        counter foreign information warfare operations that threaten 
        the national security of the United States and its allies and 
        partners;
            (2) these analytic efforts should be organized in such a 
        fashion as to meet the highest standards of ethics, 
        confidentiality, and privacy protection of the people of the 
        United States;
            (3) these analytic efforts should be undertaken as soon as 
        possible to facilitate countering ongoing Kremlin, Kremlin-
        linked, and other foreign information warfare operations and to 
        aid in preparations for the United States presidential and 
        congressional elections in 2020 and beyond;
            (4) the structure and operations of social media companies 
        make them well positioned to address foreign adversary threat 
        networks within and across their platforms, and these efforts 
        could be conducted without direct Government involvement, 
        direction, or regulation; and
            (5) if the social media industry fails to take sufficient 
        action to address foreign adversary threat networks operating 
        within or across their platforms, Congress would have to 
        consider additional safeguards for ensuring that this threat is 
        effectively mitigated.
    (c) Authority to Facilitate Establishment of Social Media Data 
Analysis Center.--
            (1) Authority.--The Director of National Intelligence, in 
        coordination with the Secretary of Defense, may facilitate, by 
        grant or contract or under an existing authority of the 
        Director, the establishment of a Social Media Data Analysis 
        Center with the functions described in paragraph (2) at an

        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;

                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-

                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.

                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
