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.

same manner as a promotion list under this chapter.
    ``(3) The Secretary of the Air Force may make a recommendation to 
the President for approval of an all-fully-qualified-officers list only

Strength Limitations.--Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of 
Defense, the promotion of an officer on the Space Force officer list to 
the grade of brigadier general or major general shall be delayed if 
that promotion would cause any strength limitation of section 526 of 
this title to be exceeded. The delay shall expire when the Secretary of 
the Air Force determines that the delay is no longer required to ensure 
compliance with the strength limitation.
    ``(f) Authority to Delay Appointments for Specified Reasons.--The 
provisions of section 14311 of this title shall apply to the

President alone), the name of that officer shall be removed from the

a list of officers approved for promotion under section 20238(a) of 
this title to a grade for which appointment is required by section

removed from the list unless as of the end of such period the Senate 
has given its advice and consent to the appointment.

respect to an officer under paragraph (1), the President may extend 
that period for purposes of paragraph (1) by an additional 12 months.

means, with respect to an officer whose name is on a list of officers 
approved for promotion under section 20238(a) of this title to a grade 
for which appointment is required by section 20201(a) of this title to 
be made by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, the period 
beginning on the date on which the list is so approved and ending on 
the first day of the eighteenth month following the month during which 
the list is so approved.
    ``(d) Administrative Removal.--Under regulations prescribed by the 
Secretary of the Air Force, if an officer on the Space Force officer 
list is discharged or dropped from the rolls or transferred to a 
retired status after having been recommended for promotion to a higher 
grade under this chapter, but before being promoted, the officer's name 
shall be administratively removed from the list of officers recommended 
for promotion by a selection board.
    ``(e) Continued Eligibility for Promotion.--(1) An officer whose 
name is removed from a list under subsection (a), (b), or (c) continues 
to be eligible for consideration for promotion. If that officer is 
recommended for promotion by the next selection board convened for that 
officer's grade and competitive category and the officer is promoted, 
the Secretary of the Air Force may, upon the promotion, grant the 
officer the same date of rank, the same effective date for the pay and 
allowances of the grade to which promoted, and the same position on the 
Space Force officer list, as the officer would have had if the 
officer's name had not been removed from the list.

colonel is not recommended for promotion by the next selection board 
convened for the officer's grade and competitive category, or if the 
officer's name is again removed from the list of officers recommended 
for promotion, or if the Senate again does not give its advice and 
consent to his promotion, the officer shall be considered for all 
purposes to have failed of selection for promotion to the next higher 
grade.

otherwise provided by the President by Executive order, any Executive 
order issued before the date of the enactment of this section relating 
to functions of the President under section 14310 of this title shall 
apply in the same manner to functions of the President under this 
section.
``Sec. 20242. Authority to vacate promotions to grade of brigadier 
     general
    ``(a) Authority.--The President may vacate the appointment of a 
Space Force officer to the grade of brigadier general if the period of 
time during which the officer has served in that grade after promotion 
to that grade is less than 18 months.

promotion to the grade of brigadier general is vacated under this 
section holds the grade of colonel. Upon assuming the grade of colonel 
under this section, the officer shall have the same position on the 
Space Force officer list as the officer would have had if the officer 
had not served in the higher grade.

     with grade
    ``(a) General Officers.--Within 60 days after an officer of the 
Space Force on the Space Force officer list in a general officer grade

    deemed to have failed twice of selection for promotion for purposes

    officer who the Secretary of the Air Force determines was not

    convened under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense

    category who were recommended for promotion, and those officers of 
    the same grade and competitive category who were not recommended 
    for promotion, by that board.

    paragraph (1) does not recommend for promotion an officer or former 
    officer in a grade below the grade of colonel whose name was

report, signed by each member of the board, containing the name of each

    (e) Transmission to the National Archives.--Each head of a 
Government office shall--
        (1) transmit to the Archivist, and, as soon as possible, make

        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.

    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.

        ``(1) Offense.--It shall be unlawful for any foreign official 
    or person selected to be a foreign official to corruptly demand,

    78dd-2; 15 U.S.C. 78dd-3) whether pursuant to a theory of direct 
    liability, conspiracy, complicity, or otherwise.''.
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 
    organization that affects interstate or foreign commerce;
        ``(2) makes use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of 
    interstate or foreign commerce through the connection or 
    affiliation of the person with such organization; and
        ``(3) commits an act in furtherance of illicit sexual conduct 
    through the connection or affiliation of the person with such 
    organization,
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned for not more than 30 years, 
or both.'';
        (2) in subsection (f), as so redesignated, by striking ``or 
    (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. 5103. RECOGNITION AS CORPORATION AND GRANT OF FEDERAL CHARTER FOR

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) The statutory authorization for the Federal Data Center

    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

    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--

        centers; and
            (B) cost savings and avoidance of $5,800,000,000.

    ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year

    applications that meet high standards for cybersecurity, 
    resiliency, and availability.

    influences, inducements, pressures, threats, or interferences 
    (direct or indirect);

         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.

        decisionmaking areas.
            (C) Promoting data integration and standardization.
            (D) Increasing efficiencies across the Department by 
        incentivizing acquisition of enterprise data solutions and 
        subscription data services to be shared across bureaus and 
        offices and within bureaus.
    (b) Implementation Plan.--
        (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the

        grade or a similar rank;
            (C) assigning at least one Bureau Chief Data Officer to 
        each bureau of the Department; and
            (D) allocation of necessary resources to sustain the 
        Program.
        (2) Appropriate committees of congress defined.--In this 
    subsection, the term ``appropriate committees of Congress'' means--

urgent crises abroad, the Department is authorized to employ, 
domestically and abroad, a limited number of personal services

    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.

    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.

    communication to assert the privilege on his or her behalf, with 
    confidentiality. The Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and 
    Prevention Office employee who received the communication may 
    assert the privilege on behalf of the victim. The authority of such 
    Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Office employee 
    to so assert the privilege is presumed in the absence of evidence 
    to the contrary.

        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 
        to be a crime or breach of national security.

    Assault Response and Prevention Office employee determines that 
    information requires an exception to the privilege, the Sexual 
    Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Office employee who 
    received the communication will protect information pertaining to 
    the facts and circumstances surrounding the underlying sexual 
    assault or sexual harassment allegations to the greatest extent 
    possible.
