        Counsel of the House of Representatives of the submission of the
        report so that the Law Revision Counsel may execute the amendment
        made by paragraph (1) in accordance with the preceding sentence.
        (b) Analysis and Report.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of the Navy shall conduct an
        analysis of potential approaches to the manning, operation, and

            maintaining a reserve component air wing as described in
            subparagraph (B).
                (E) The potential for deployment of a 10th aircraft carrier
            without a fully manned carrier air wing in the event the Navy
            only operates and crews 9 carrier air wings at the time
            deployment of a 10th aircraft carrier is required.
                (F) The potential for additional forward deployed squadrons
            that could support an aircraft carrier during theater
            operations that may not have a fully embarked air wing at the
            time of embarkation.
            (3) Report.--Following completion of the analysis required
        under paragraph (1), Secretary of the Navy shall submit to the

    SEC. 1307. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON TAIWAN DEFENSE RELATIONS.
        It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States' one China policy, as guided by the
        Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C. et seq.), the
        Three Communiques between the United States and the People's
        Republic of China, and the Six Assurances provided by the United
        States to Taiwan in July 1982, is the foundation for United States-
        Taiwan relations;
            (2) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the United States
        decision to establish diplomatic relations with the People's
        Republic of China rests upon the expectation that the future of
        Taiwan will be determined by peaceful means, and that any effort to
        determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means,
        including boycotts and embargoes, is of grave concern to the United
        States;
            (3) the increasingly coercive and aggressive behavior of the
        People's Republic of China toward Taiwan is contrary to the
        expectation of the peaceful resolution of the future of Taiwan;
            (4) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the capacity to
        resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would
        jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system, of the
        people on Taiwan should be maintained;
            (5) the United States should continue to support the
        development of capable, ready, and modern defense forces necessary
        for Taiwan to maintain sufficient defensive capabilities, including
        by--
                (A) supporting acquisition by Taiwan of defense articles
            and services through foreign military sales, direct commercial
            sales, and industrial cooperation, with an emphasis on
            capabilities that support an asymmetric strategy;
                (B) ensuring timely review of and response to requests of
            Taiwan for defense articles and services;
                (C) conducting practical training and military exercises
            with Taiwan that enable Taiwan to maintain sufficient defensive
            capabilities, as described in the Taiwan Relations Act;
                (D) exchanges between defense officials and officers of the
            United States and Taiwan at the strategic, policy, and
            functional levels, consistent with the Taiwan Travel Act
            (Public Law 115-135; 132 Stat. 341), especially for the
            purposes of--
                    (i) enhancing cooperation on defense planning;
                    (ii) improving the interoperability of the military
                forces of the United States and Taiwan; and
                    (iii) improving the reserve force of Taiwan;
                (E) cooperating with Taiwan to improve its ability to
            employ military capabilities in asymmetric ways, as described
            in the Taiwan Relations Act; and
                (F) expanding cooperation in humanitarian assistance and
            disaster relief; and
            (6) the United States should increase its support to a free and
        open society in the face of aggressive efforts by the Government of
        the People's Republic of China to curtail or influence the free
        exercise of rights and democratic franchise.

            records that shall serve to downgrade and declassify
            information.
                (D) Deadline for full disclosure.--Each unidentified
            anomalous phenomena record shall be publicly disclosed in full,
            and available in the Collection, not later than the date that
            is 25 years after the date of the first creation of the record
            by the originating body, unless the President certifies that--
                    (i) continued postponement is made necessary by an
                identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence
                operations, law enforcement, or conduct of foreign
                relations; and
                    (ii) the identifiable harm is of such gravity that it
                outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
        (h) Requirements for Executive Agencies.--
            (1) In general.--The heads of Executive agencies shall--
                (A) transmit digital records electronically in accordance
            with section 2107 of title 44, United States Code;
                (B) charge fees for copying unidentified anomalous
            phenomena records; and
                (C) grant waivers of such fees pursuant to the standards
            established by section 552(a)(4) of title 5, United States
            Code.
            (2) Amount of fees.--The amount of a fee charged by the head of
        an Executive agency pursuant to paragraph (1)(B) for the copying of
        an unidentified anomalous phenomena record shall be such amount as
        the head determines appropriate to cover the costs incurred by the
        Executive agency in making and providing such copy, except that in
        no case may the amount of the fee charged exceed the actual
        expenses incurred by the Executive agency in making and providing
        such copy.
    SEC. 1843. GROUNDS FOR POSTPONEMENT OF PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF
    UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA RECORDS.
        (a) Postponement Determination.--In addition to the relevant
    authorities in Executive Order 13526, disclosure of unidentified
    anomalous phenomena records or particular information in unidentified
    anomalous phenomena records to the public may be postponed subject to
    the limitations of this subtitle if the original classification
    authority makes a determination that there is clear and convincing
    evidence that--
            (1) the threat to the military defense, intelligence
        operations, or conduct of foreign relations of the United States
        posed by the public disclosure of the unidentified anomalous
        phenomena record is of such gravity that it outweighs the public
        interest in disclosure, and such public disclosure would reveal--
                (A) an intelligence agent whose identity currently requires
            protection;
                (B) an intelligence source or method which is currently
            utilized, or reasonably expected to be utilized, by the Federal
            Government and which has not been officially disclosed, the
            disclosure of which would interfere with the conduct of
            intelligence activities; or
                (C) any other matter currently relating to the military
            defense, intelligence operations, or conduct of foreign
            relations of the United States, the disclosure of which would
            demonstrably and substantially impair the national security of
            the United States;
            (2) the public disclosure of the unidentified anomalous
        phenomena record would violate section 552a of title 5, United
        States Code (referred to as the ``Privacy Act of 1974'');
            (3) the public disclosure of the unidentified anomalous
        phenomena record could reasonably be expected to constitute an
        unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, and that invasion of
        privacy is so substantial that it outweighs the public interest; or
            (4) the public disclosure of the unidentified anomalous
        phenomena record would compromise the existence of an understanding
        of confidentiality currently requiring protection between a Federal
        Government agent and a cooperating individual or a foreign
        government, and public disclosure would be so harmful that it
        outweighs the public interest.
        (b) Withdrawal of Records.--Senior Agency Officials designated in
    accordance with Executive Order 13526 or any successor Orders may
    withdraw records in the Collection that are determined to be both not
    related to unidentified anomalous phenomena and properly classified.
    The Senior Agency Official must notify the congressional leadership and
    the oversight committees of Congress, as identified in section 1841(e),
    by not later than 60 days before each record is withdrawn.
        (c) Congressional Notification of Postponement of Disclosure.--In
    the event that the disclosure of unidentified anomalous phenomena
    records or particular information in unidentified anomalous phenomena
    records to the public is postponed by an Executive agency, the head of
    the Executive agency shall notify congressional leadership and the
    oversight committees of Congress, as identified in section 1841(e),
    within 15 days of such decision with a reason for the postponement of
    disclosure.

    SEC. 5102. PREVENTING CHILD SEX ABUSE.
        (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Preventing
    Child Sex Abuse Act of 2023''.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--The sense of Congress is the following:
            (1) The safety of children should be a top priority for public
        officials and communities in the United States.
            (2) According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, an
        individual in the United States is sexually assaulted every 68
        seconds. And every 9 minutes, that victim is a child. Meanwhile,
        only 25 out of every 1,000 perpetrators will end up in prison.
            (3) The effects of child sexual abuse can be long-lasting and
        affect the victim's mental health.
            (4) Victims are more likely than non-victims to experience the
        following mental health challenges:
                (A) Victims are about 4 times more likely to develop
            symptoms of drug abuse.
                (B) Victims are about 4 times more likely to experience
            post-traumatic stress disorder as adults.
                (C) Victims are about 3 times more likely to experience a
            major depressive episode as adults.
            (5) The criminal justice system should and has acted as an
        important line of defense to protect children and hold perpetrators
        accountable.
            (6) However, the horrific crimes perpetuated by Larry Nassar
        demonstrate firsthand the loopholes that still exist in the
        criminal justice system. While Larry Nassar was found guilty of
        several State-level offenses, he was not charged federally for his
        illicit sexual contact with minors, despite crossing State and
        international borders to commit this conduct.
            (7) The Department of Justice has also identified a growing
        trend of Americans who use charitable or missionary work in a
        foreign country as a cover for sexual abuse of children.
            (8) It is the intent of Congress to prohibit Americans from
        engaging in sexual abuse or exploitation of minors under the guise
        of work, including volunteer work, with an organization that
        affects interstate or foreign commerce, such as an international
        charity.
            (9) Federal law does not require that an abuser's intention to
        engage in sexual abuse be a primary, significant, dominant, or
        motivating purpose of the travel.
            (10) Child sexual abuse does not require physical contact
        between the abuser and the child. This is especially true as
        perpetrators turn increasingly to internet platforms, online chat
        rooms, and webcams to commit child sexual abuse.
            (11) However, a decision of the United States Court of Appeals
        for the Seventh Circuit found the use of a webcam to engage in
        sexually provocative activity with a minor did not qualify as
        ``sexual activity''.
            (12) Congress can address this issue by amending the definition
        of the term ``sexual activity'' to clarify that it does not require
        interpersonal, physical contact.
            (13) It is the duty of Congress to provide clearer guidance to
        ensure that those who commit crimes against children are prosecuted
        to the fullest extent of the law.
        (c) Interstate Child Sexual Abuse.--Section 2423 of title 18,
    United States Code, is amended--
            (1) in subsection (b), by striking ``with a motivating purpose
        of engaging in any illicit sexual conduct with another person'' and
        inserting ``with intent to engage in any illicit sexual conduct
        with another person'';
            (2) by redesignating subsections (d), (e), (f), and (g) as
        subsections (e), (f), (g), and (i), respectively;
            (3) in subsection (e), as so redesignated, by striking ``with a
        motivating purpose of engaging in any illicit sexual conduct'' and
        inserting ``with intent to engage in any illicit sexual conduct'';
        and
            (4) by inserting after subsection (g), as so redesignated, the
        following:
        ``(h) Rule of Construction.--As used in this section, the term
    `intent' shall be construed as any intention to engage in prostitution,
    sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal
    offense, or illicit sexual conduct, as applicable, at the time of the
    transportation or travel.''.
        (d) Abuse Under the Guise of Charity.--Section 2423 of title 18,
    United States Code, as amended by subsection (c) of this section, is
    amended--
            (1) by inserting after subsection (c) the following:
        ``(d) Illicit Sexual Conduct in Connection With Certain
    Organizations.--Any citizen of the United States or alien admitted for
    permanent residence who--
            ``(1) is an officer, director, employee, or agent of an

    or both.'';

        (d)'' and inserting ``(d), or (e)''; and
            (3) in subsection (i), as so redesignated, by striking
        ``(f)(2)'' and inserting ``(g)(2)''.
        (e) Sexual Activity With Minors.--Section 2427 of title 18, United
    States Code, is amended by inserting ``does not require interpersonal
    physical contact, and'' before ``includes''.

    Sec. 5301. Short title.
    Sec. 5302. Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative amendments.
    SEC. 5301. SHORT TITLE.
        This title may be cited as the ``Federal Data Center Enhancement
    Act of 2023''.
    SEC. 5302. FEDERAL DATA CENTER CONSOLIDATION INITIATIVE AMENDMENTS.
        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The statutory authorization for the Federal Data Center
        Optimization Initiative under section 834 of the Carl Levin and
        Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for
        Fiscal Year 2015 (44 U.S.C. 3601 note; Public Law 113-291) expired
        at the end of fiscal year 2022.
            (2) The expiration of the authorization described in paragraph
        (1) presents Congress with an opportunity to review the objectives
        of the Federal Data Center Optimization Initiative to ensure that
        the initiative is meeting the current needs of the Federal
        Government.
            (3) The initial focus of the Federal Data Center Optimization
        Initiative, which was to consolidate data centers and create new
        efficiencies, has resulted in, since 2010--
                (A) the consolidation of more than 6,000 Federal data
            centers; and
                (B) cost savings and avoidance of $5,800,000,000.
            (4) The need of the Federal Government for access to data and
        data processing systems has evolved since the date of enactment in
        2014 of subtitle D of title VIII of the Carl Levin and Howard P.
        ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
        2015.
            (5) Federal agencies and employees involved in mission critical
        functions increasingly need reliable access to secure, reliable,
        and protected facilities to house mission critical data and data
        operations to meet the immediate needs of the people of the United
        States.
            (6) As of the date of enactment of this title, there is a
        growing need for Federal agencies to use data centers and cloud
        applications that meet high standards for cybersecurity,
        resiliency, and availability.
        (b) Minimum Requirements for New Data Centers.--Section 834 of the
    Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization

        multipliers for our diplomacy;
            (3) the Department can and should do more to keep tandem
        spouses posted together and consider family member employment needs
        when assigning tandem officers; and

        ``tandem Foreign Service personnel'' and ``tandem'' mean a member
        of a couple of which one spouse is a career or career candidate

        career candidate employee of the Foreign Service or an employee of
        one of the agencies authorized to use the Foreign Service Personnel
        System under section 202 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22
        U.S.C. 3922).
        (c) Family Togetherness in Assignments.--Not later than 90 days

    amend and update its policies to further promote the principle of
    family togetherness in the Foreign Service, which shall include the
    following:
            (1) Entry-level foreign service personnel.--The Secretary shall
        adopt policies and procedures to facilitate the assignment of
        entry-level tandem Foreign Service personnel on directed
        assignments to the same diplomatic post or country as their tandem

             TITLE LXIII--INFORMATION SECURITY AND CYBER DIPLOMACY

    SEC. 6301. DATA-INFORMED DIPLOMACY.
        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In a rapidly evolving and digitally interconnected global
        landscape, access to and maintenance of reliable, readily available
        data is key to informed decisionmaking and diplomacy and therefore
        should be considered a strategic asset.
            (2) In order to achieve its mission in the 21st century, the
        Department must adapt to these trends by maintaining and providing
        timely access to high-quality data at the time and place needed,
        while simultaneously cultivating a data-savvy workforce.
            (3) Leveraging data science and data analytics has the
        potential to improve the performance of the Department's workforce
        by providing otherwise unknown insights into program deficiencies,
        shortcomings, or other gaps in analysis.
            (4) While innovative technologies such as artificial
        intelligence and machine learning have the potential to empower the
        Department to analyze and act upon data at scale, systematized,
        sustainable data management and information synthesis remain a core
        competency necessary for data-driven decisionmaking.
            (5) The goals set out by the Department's Enterprise Data
        Council (EDC) as the areas of most critical need for the
        Department, including Cultivating a Data Culture, Accelerating
        Decisions through Analytics, Establishing Mission-Driven Data
        Management, and Enhancing Enterprise Data Governance, are laudable
        and will remain critical as the Department develops into a data-
        driven agency.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Department should prioritize the recruitment and
        retainment of top data science talent in support of its data-
        informed diplomacy efforts as well as its broader modernization
        agenda; and
            (2) the Department should strengthen data fluency among its
        workforce, promote data collaboration across and within its
        bureaus, and enhance its enterprise data oversight.

            ``(1) Increasingly digitized and interconnected social,
        political, and economic systems have introduced new vulnerabilities
        for malicious actors to exploit, which threatens economic and
        national security.

        information and communication technologies into all aspects of
        modern life bring mounting risks of accidents and malicious
        activity involving such technologies, and their potential
        consequences.
            ``(3) Because information and communication technologies are
        globally manufactured, traded, and networked, the economic and
        national security of the United State depends greatly on
        cybersecurity practices of other actors, including other countries.
            ``(4) United States assistance to countries and international
        organizations to bolster civilian capacity to address national
        cybersecurity and deterrence in cyberspace can help--
                ``(A) reduce vulnerability in the information and
            communication technologies ecosystem; and

                    TITLE LXIV--ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

    SEC. 6401. PERSONAL SERVICES CONTRACTORS.
        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
    Department should seek to ensure it has sufficient full-time equivalent
    positions allotted to carry out its current mission, working with the
    Office of Personnel Management and appropriate congressional committees
    to that end, and that the use of personal services contractors should
    not be relied upon to perform core Department functions indefinitely.
        (b) Exigent Circumstances and Crisis Response.--To assist the
    Department in addressing and responding to exigent circumstances and
    urgent crises abroad, the Department is authorized to employ,
    domestically and abroad, a limited number of personal services
    contractors in order to meet exigent needs, subject to the requirements
    of this section.
        (c) Authority.--The authority to employ personal services
    contractors is in addition to any existing authorities to enter into

    described in subsection (b) and subject to the requirements in
    subsection (e), the Department may--
            (1) enter into contracts to employ a total of up to 100
        personal services contractors at any given time for each of fiscal
        years 2024, 2025, and 2026; and
            (2) allocate up to 20 personal services contractors to a given
        bureau.
        (e) Limitation.--Employment authorized by this section shall not
    exceed two calendar years.
        (f) Notification and Reporting to Congress.--
            (1) Notification.--Not later than 15 days after the use of
        authority under this section, the Secretary shall notify the
        appropriate congressional committees, the Committee on
        Appropriations of the Senate, and the Committee on Appropriations
        of the House of Representatives of the number of personal services
        contractors being employed, the expected length of employment, the
        relevant bureau, the purpose for using personal services
        contractors, an indication of how many personal services
        contractors were previously employees of the Department, and the
        justification, including the exigent circumstances requiring such

        exigent circumstances.
    SEC. 6402. HARD-TO-FILL POSTS.
        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the number of hard-to-fill vacancies at United States
        diplomatic missions is far too high, particularly in Sub-Saharan
        Africa;
            (2) these vacancies--
                (A) adversely impact the Department's execution of regional
            strategies;
                (B) hinder the ability of the United States to effectively
            compete with strategic competitors, such as the People's
            Republic of China and the Russian Federation; and
                (C) present a clear national security risk to the United
            States; and
            (3) if the Department is unable to incentivize officers to
        accept hard-to-fill positions, the Department should consider
        directed assignments, particularly for posts in Africa, and other
        means to more effectively advance the national interests of the
        United States.
        (b) Report on Development of Incentives for Hard-to-fill Posts.--
    Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this
    division, the Secretary shall submit a report to the appropriate
    congressional committees on efforts to develop new incentives for hard-
    to-fill positions at United States diplomatic missions. The report
    shall include a description of the incentives developed to date and
    proposals to try to more effectively fill hard-to-fill posts.

                (A) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of
            the enactment of this division, the Secretary shall conduct a
            study on--
                    (i) the number of Foreign Service positions vacant for
                six months or longer at overseas posts, including for
                consular, political, and economic positions, over the last
                five years, broken down by region, and a comparison of the
                proportion of vacancies between regions; and
                    (ii) the feasibility of allowing first-tour Foreign
                Service generalists in non-Consular cones, directed for a
                consular tour, to volunteer for reassignment at hard-to-
                fill posts in understaffed regions.
                (B) Matters to be considered.--The study conducted under
            subparagraph (A) shall consider whether allowing first-tour
            Foreign Service generalists to volunteer as described in such
            subparagraph would address current vacancies and what impact
            the new mechanism would have on consular operations.
            (2) Report.--Not later than 60 days after completing the study
        required under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall submit to the
        appropriate congressional committees a report containing the
        findings of the study.

        to improve the integrity and thoroughness of its investigations;
        and
            (3) any recommendations to improve the management structure,

        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--

        often indicative of, an environment where toxic, provocative, and
        sometimes significantly inappropriate behavior is tolerated;
            (2) when supervisors and senior leaders at headquarters and in
        the field are among the offenders and facilitate a work climate in
        which toxic and disrespectful behavior is tolerated, harassment and
        even assault will often go unaddressed and unpunished;
            (3) while establishing clear policies and procedures and
        enhancing training are necessary first steps toward protecting
        victims and establishing stronger internal mechanisms for
        preventing and responding to future sexual assault and sexual
        harassment within the Central Intelligence Agency, comprehensive
        culture change driven by Agency leadership will be necessary to
        accomplish impactful and enduring improvement; and
            (4) it is vital for the Central Intelligence Agency to maintain
        an independent and neutral person with whom all employees at all
        levels, supervisors and non-supervisors, may speak confidentially,
        informally, and off-the-record about work-related concerns or
        questions.

        confidentiality. The Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and

            contemplates the future commission of a crime or breach of
            national security, or aiding any individual to commit or plan
            to commit what the victim knew or reasonable should have known

        Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Office employee who
        received the communication will protect information pertaining to
