        (a) Strategy.--The Secretary of Navy, in coordination with the
    Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program, shall develop and
    implement a strategy to leverage commercial best practices used in
    shipyards to make operations more efficient and demonstrate a digital
    maintenance artificial intelligence platform that analyzes data on the
    maintenance and health of shipboard assets of the Navy at shipyards,
    which shall improve readiness of the Armed Forces, predict and diagnose
    issues before they occur, and lower maintenance costs.
        (b) Assessment.--The Secretary of Navy shall assess the costs of
    maintenance delays on shipboard assets of the Navy and assess the
    potential cost savings of adopting artificial intelligence predictive
    maintenance technology techniques that help determine the condition of
    in-service equipment to estimate when maintenance should be performed
    rather than waiting until failure or end of life, including--
                (1) an analysis of maintenance delays and costs due to
            unplanned and unpredicted maintenance issues;
                (2) an evaluation of opportunities to demonstrate
            commercial best practices at shipyards, including artificial
            intelligence technologies to ensure timely predictions for
            maintainers and planners at shipyards by connecting datasets,
            executing models, and providing outputs in near real-time;
                (3) an identification of shipyard assets of the Navy with
            sufficient data available to enable near-term demonstrations of
            artificial intelligence predictive maintenance and an estimate
            of resources needed within the Navy to accelerate the
            demonstration of predictive artificial intelligence
            capabilities with respect to those assets; and
                (4) an identification of any policy or technical challenges
            to implementing artificial intelligence or machine learning for
            purposes of carrying out the Shipyard Infrastructure
            Optimization Program.
        (c) Briefing to Committee.--Not later than 180 days after the date
    of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Navy shall provide to
    the congressional defense committees a briefing on--
                (1) the strategy developed by the Secretary under
            subsection (a);
                (2) the results of the assessment under subsection (b); and
                (3) a plan to execute any measures pursuant to such
            assessment.

    SEC. 535. REQUIREMENT TO BASE TREATMENT IN THE MILITARY ON MERIT AND
                  PERFORMANCE.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The United States Armed Forces is the greatest civil
            rights program in the history of the world.
                (2) Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Colin
            Powell wrote that ``the military [has] given African-Americans
            more equal opportunity than any other institution in American
            society''.
                (3) Today's Armed Forces is the most diverse large public
            institution in the country, and brings together Americans from
            every background in the service of defending the country.
                (4) Military readiness depends on the guarantee of equal
            opportunity, without the promise of an equal outcome, because
            warfare is a competitive endeavor and the nation's enemies must
            know that the United States Armed Forces is led by the best,
            brightest, and bravest Americans.
                (5) The tenets of critical race theory are antithetical to
            the merit-based, all-volunteer, military that has served the
            country with great distinction for the last 50 years.
        (b) Definition of Equity.--For the purposes of any Department of
    Defense Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion directive, program, policy, or
    instruction, the term ``equity'' is defined as ``the right of all
    persons to have the opportunity to participate in, and benefit from,
    programs, and activities for which they are qualified''.
        (c) Prohibitions.--
                (1) Directives.--The Department of Defense shall not direct
            or otherwise compel any member of the Armed Forces, military
            dependent, or civilian employee of the Department of Defense to
            personally affirm, adopt, or adhere to the tenet that any sex,
            race, ethnicity, religion or national origin is inherently
            superior or inferior.
                (2) Training and instruction.--No organization or
            institution under the authority of the Secretary of Defense may
            provide courses, training, or any other type of instruction
            that directs, compels, or otherwise suggests that members of
            the Armed Forces, military dependents, or civilian employees of
            the Department of Defense should affirm, adopt, or adhere to
            the tenet described in paragraph (1).
                (3) Distinctions and classifications.--
                        (A) In general.--No organization or institution
                    under the authority of the Secretary of Defense shall
                    make a distinction or classification of members of the
                    Armed Forces, military dependents, or civilian
                    employees of the Department of Defense based on account
                    of race, ethnicity, or national origin.
                        (B) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this
                    paragraph shall be construed to prohibit the required
                    collection or reporting of demographic information by
                    the Department of Defense.
        (d) Merit Requirement.--All Department of Defense personnel
    actions, including accessions, promotions, assignments and training,
    shall be based exclusively on individual merit and demonstrated
    performance.

        (b) Updates and Modifications.--Notwithstanding subsection (a), the

    the Army Physical Fitness Test as the needs of the Army require after a

                (1) section 101 of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023
            (Public Law 118-5) imposes limits on discretionary spending in
            the defense and nondefense categories;
                (2) if those spending limits for either category are
            breached, then across-the-board sequestration cuts are
            triggered on that category to eliminate the breach;
                (3) the enactment of authorization and appropriations
            legislation for the Department of Defense will provide inherent
            cost savings that continuing resolutions do not provide;
                (4) there are growing national security concerns that
            require additional funds beyond the revised security spending
            limit, to include continued support to the Ukrainian armed
            forces, additional munitions production, additional large
            surface combatants, shipbuilding industrial base modernization
            investments, submarine industrial base and supply chain
            management, additional production of wheeled and tracked combat
            vehicles, and emergent capabilities and exercises in the United
            States Indo-Pacific Command;
                (5) as the Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stated on
            June 1, 2023, ``This debt ceiling deal does nothing to limit
            the Senate's ability to appropriate emergency/supplemental
            funds to ensure our military capabilities are sufficient to
            deter China, Russia, and our other adversaries and respond to
            ongoing and growing national security threats, including
            Russia's ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine, our ongoing
            competition with China and its growing threat to Taiwan,
            Iranian threats to American interests and those of our partners
            in the Middle East, or any other emerging security crisis; nor
            does this debt ceiling deal limit the Senate's ability to
            appropriate emergency/supplemental funds to respond to various
            national issues, such as disaster relief, or combating the
            fentanyl crisis, or other issues of national importance.''; and
                (6) the President should expeditiously send emergency
            funding requests to the Senate for consideration so that those
            needs can receive sufficient and additional funds.

                       Subtitle B--Counterdrug Activities

    SEC. 1011. DISRUPTION OF FENTANYL TRAFFICKING.

        (a) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
                (1) fentanyl trafficking across the borders of the United
            States, and the consequences of that trafficking, constitute an
            unprecedented, nontraditional, and long-term threat to the
            national security of the United States;
                (2) transnational criminal organizations have established
            effective control over significant areas within Mexico, which
            has enabled the development of fentanyl production and
            trafficking infrastructure;
                (3) combating fentanyl trafficking demands--
                        (A) improved interagency command, control,
                    communications, and intelligence sharing to enhance the
                    effectiveness of the interdiction of fentanyl at the
                    borders of the United States; and
                        (B) whole-of-government solutions comprised of an
                    integrated and synchronized interagency organizational
                    construct committed to dismantling the process of
                    trafficking fentanyl from chemical precursor to
                    production to delivery in the United States and
                    enabling partner nations to do the same;
                (4) it is within the national security interest of the
            United States for Federal, State, and local law enforcement
            agencies, the Department of Defense, the Department of State,
            other counter-drug agencies, and stakeholders to effectively
            communicate and that the failure of effective communication
            affects the prevention, interdiction, and prosecution of
            fentanyl trafficking and distribution into and within the
            United States; and
                (5) the United States must partner with Mexico and Canada
            to combat fentanyl trafficking through institution building,
            the dismantling of cartels, and seizures of fentanyl in Mexico,
            Canada, and intrastate transit zones.
        (b) Development of Strategy to Counter Fentanyl Trafficking and

                    the Secretary considers appropriate, shall develop and
                    submit to the appropriate congressional committees a
                    strategy to use existing authorities, including the
                    authorities under section 124 of title 10, United
                    States Code, as appropriate, to target, disrupt, or
                    degrade threats to the national security of the United
                    States caused or exacerbated by fentanyl trafficking.
                        (B) Contents.--The strategy required by

                            enforcement agencies, or foreign security
                            forces;
                                (iii) coordinate efforts of the Department
                            of Defense for the detection and monitoring of

                            of carrying fentanyl bound for the United
                            States, including efforts to unify the use of
                            technology, surveillance, and related resources
                            across air, land, and maritime domains to
                            counter fentanyl trafficking, including with
                            respect to data collection, data processing,
                            and integrating sensors across such domains;
                                (iv) provide military-unique capabilities
                            to support activities by the United States
                            Government and foreign security forces to
                            detect and monitor the trafficking of fentanyl
                            and precursor chemicals used in fentanyl
                            production, consistent with section 284(b)(10)
                            of title 10, United States Code;
                                (v) leverage existing counterdrug and
                            counter-transnational organized crime programs

                            enforcement agencies conducted by special
                            operations forces to counter fentanyl
                            trafficking, consistent with section 284(b) of
                            title 10, United States Code;
                                (vii) engage with foreign security forces
                            to ensure the counterdrug and counter-

            described in this paragraph is a member of the Armed Forces, a

            information within industry).

    Security Clearance Eligibility.--In order to simplify, centralize, and
    unify the administrative processes for unfavorable security clearance
    eligibility determinations for covered individuals described in

    clearance eligibility are performed by the Defense Office of Hearings
    and Appeals with administrative due process procedures.
        (c) Updates to Department of Defense Manuals.--The Secretary of

                (1) Request for sharing required.--In a case in which a
            contractor or civilian employee of the Federal Government
            holding an active security clearance is seeking to transfer
            that clearance for a new position in the Department of Defense
            and in which an agency or department of the Federal Government
            possesses security relevant information about that clearance
            holder that is related to eligibility for access to classified
            information and makes known the existence of such security
            relevant information in the commonly accessible security
            clearance databases of the Federal Government, but without
            taking any action to suspend or revoke that clearance holder's
            security clearance, the Department of Defense component
            considering the transfer of a clearance shall promptly make a
            request to receive the security relevant information from the
            agency or department in possession of such information.

            department of the Federal Government receives a request to
            share security relevant information about a clearance holder
            pursuant to paragraph (1) but fails to do so within 30 days of
            the date on which the request is made, such failure shall
            trigger procedural and substantive due process rights,
            established for the purposes of carrying out this section, for
            the clearance holder to challenge the security relevant
            information as if the information were the equivalent of a
            suspension, denial, or revocation of the underlying clearance.
        (f) Protections.--Members of the Armed Forces and civilian
    employees of the Department of Defense may not be suspended without pay
    because a security clearance is suspended or revoked prior to the
    conclusion of any appeal process to enable such members and employee to
    support themselves during an appeal process and to support themselves
    without resigning from Government employment and thereby losing
    standing to appeal the suspension or revocation of access to classified
    information.
        (g) Effective Date; Applicability.--
                (1) Effective date.--This section shall take effect on the

            compartmented information that occur on or after the date on
            which this section takes effect pursuant to paragraph (1).
        (h) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be
    construed to diminish or otherwise affect the authority of the head of
    a component of the Department to suspend access to classified
    information or a special access program, including sensitive
    compartmented information, in exigent circumstances, should the head
    determine that continued access of a covered individual is inconsistent
    with protecting the national security of the United States.

                  MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES WHO SERVED IN FEMALE CULTURAL
                  SUPPORT TEAMS.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) In 2010, the Commander of United States Special
            Operations Command established the Cultural Support Team
            Program to overcome significant intelligence gaps during the
            Global War on Terror.
                (2) From 2010 through 2021, approximately 310 female
            members, from every Armed Force, passed and were selected as
            members of female cultural support teams, and deployed with
            special operations forces.
                (3) Members of female cultural support teams served
            honorably, demonstrated commendable courage, overcame such
            intelligence gaps, engaged in direct action, and suffered
            casualties during the Global War on Terror.
                (4) The Federal Government has a duty to recognize members
            and veterans of female cultural support teams who volunteered
            to join the Armed Forces, to undergo arduous training for
            covered service, and to execute dangerous and classified
            missions in the course of such covered service.
                (5) Members who performed covered service have sought
            treatment from the Department of Veterans Affairs for traumatic
            brain injuries, post-traumatic stress, and disabling physical
            trauma incurred in the course of such covered service, but have
            been denied such care.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the Sense of Congress that--
                (1) individuals who performed covered service performed
            exceptional service to the United States; and
                (2) the Secretary of Defense should ensure that the
            performance of covered service is included in the military
            service record of each individual who performed covered service
            so that those with service-connected injuries can receive
            proper care and benefits for their service.

                (1) In general.--Not later than March 31, 2024, the

                    administered by the Secretary; and
                        (B) submit to the appropriate committees of
                    Congress a report on the findings of the Secretary with
                    respect to the study carried out under paragraph (1).
                (2) List.--The report submitted under paragraph (1)(B)
            shall include a list of each individual who performed covered
            service whose military service record should be modified on
            account of covered service.

                (1) In general.--Not later than March 31, 2024, the
            Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall--
                        (A) carry out a study on the treatment of covered
                    service for purposes of compensation under laws
                    administered by the Secretary; and
                        (B) submit to the appropriate committees of
                    Congress a report on the findings of the Secretary with
                    respect to the study carried out under paragraph (1).

                    service whose claim for disability compensation under a
                    law administered by the Secretary was denied due to the
                    inability of the Department of Veterans Affairs to
                    determine the injury was service-connected.
                        (B) An estimate of the cost that would be incurred
                    by the Department to provide veterans described in

                It is the sense of Congress that--
                        (A) ISIS detainees held by the Syrian Democratic
                    Forces and ISIS-affiliated individuals located within
                    displaced persons camps in Syria pose a significant and

                    the region;
                        (B) the vast majority of individuals held in
                    displaced persons camps in Syria are women and

                        (D) the United States should work closely with

                    repatriation and reintegration efforts required to
                    provide a long-term solution for such camps and prevent
                    the resurgence of ISIS; and
                        (E) if left unaddressed, such camps will continue
                    to be drivers of instability that jeopardize the long-

            Syria, be repatriated and, where appropriate, prosecuted, or

            consistent with all relevant domestic laws and applicable
            international laws prohibiting refoulement; and
                (2) the camps will be closed as soon as is practicable.

    SEC. 1338. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY
                  ORGANIZATION.

        It is the sense of the Senate that--
                (1) the success of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
            is critical to advancing United States national security
            objectives in Europe, the Indo-Pacific region, and around the
            world;
                (2) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization remains the
            strongest and most successful military alliance in the world,
            founded on a commitment by its members to uphold the principles
            of democracy, individual liberty, and the rule of law;
                (3) the United States reaffirms its ironclad commitment--
                        (A) to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as
                    the foundation of transatlantic security; and
                        (B) to upholding its obligations under the North
                    Atlantic Treaty, including Article 5;
                (4) the unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine by the
            Russian Federation has upended security in Europe and requires
            the full attention of the transatlantic alliance;
                (5) welcoming Finland as the 31st member of the North
            Atlantic Treaty Organization has made the North Atlantic Treaty
            Organization Alliance stronger and the remaining North Atlantic
            Treaty Organization member countries should swiftly ratify the
            accession protocols of Sweden so as to bolster the collective
            security of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization by
            increasing the security and stability of the Baltic Sea region
            and Northern Europe;
                (6) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization member countries
            that have not yet met the two-percent defense spending pledge,
            as agreed to at the 2014 Wales Summit, should endeavor to meet
            the timeline as expeditiously as possible, but certainly within
            the five-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of
            this Act;
                (7) the United States and North Atlantic Treaty
            Organization allies and partners should continue efforts to
            identify, synchronize, and deliver needed assistance to Ukraine
            as Ukraine continues the fight against the illegal and unjust
            war of the Russian Federation;
                (8) the Strategic Concept, agreed to by all North Atlantic
            Treaty Organization member countries at the Madrid Summit in
            2022, outlined the focus of the North Atlantic Treaty
            Organization for the upcoming decade, and North Atlantic Treaty
            Organization allies should continue to implement the strategies
            outlined, including by making efforts to address the challenges
            posed by the coercive policies of the People's Republic of
            China that undermine the interests, security, and shared values
            of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Alliance;
                (9) the United States and North Atlantic Treaty
            Organization allies should continue long-term efforts--
                        (A) to improve interoperability among the military
                    forces of member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty
                    Organization so as to enhance collective operations,
                    including the divestment of Soviet-era capabilities;
                        (B) to enhance security sector cooperation and
                    explore opportunities to reinforce civil sector
                    preparedness and resilience measures that may be likely
                    targets of malign influence campaigns;
                        (C) to mitigate the impact of hybrid warfare
                    operations, particularly those in the information and
                    cyber domains; and
                        (D) to expand joint research and development
                    initiatives with a focus on emerging technologies such
                    as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and
                    machine learning, including through the work of the
                    Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic
                    initiative (commonly known as ``DIANA'');
                (10) the European Deterrence Initiative remains critically
            important and has demonstrated its unique value to the United
            States and North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies during the
            current Russian Federation-created war against Ukraine;
                (11) the United States should continue to work with North
            Atlantic Treaty Organization allies, and other allies and
            partners, to build permanent mechanisms to strengthen supply
            chains, enhance supply chain security, and fill supply chain
            gaps;
                (12) the United States should prioritize collaboration with
            North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies to secure enduring
            and robust critical munitions supply chains so as to increase
            military readiness;
                (13) the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty
            Organization should expand cooperation efforts on cybersecurity
            issues to prevent adversaries and criminals from compromising
            critical systems and infrastructure; and
                (14) it is in the interest of the United States that the
            North Atlantic Treaty Organization adopt a robust strategy
            toward the Black Sea, and the United States should also
            consider working with interested partner countries to advance a
            coordinated strategy inclusive of diverse elements of
            transatlantic security architecture in the Black Sea region.

                  ORGANIZATION.

        It is the sense of the Senate that--
                (1) the new initiative within the North Atlantic Treaty
            Organization (NATO) to establish a new research and development
            initiative, known as the Defence Innovation Accelerator for the
            North Atlantic (DIANA), is an important step in aligning the
            industry and academic innovation communities of the NATO member
            states towards common goals for identifying, experimenting, and
            transitioning critical technologies of importance to NATO;
                (2) DIANA will spur increased defense research and
            development funding to rapidly adapt to a new era of strategic
            competition by bringing defense personnel together with NATO's
            leading entrepreneurs and academic researchers;
                (3) DIANA will also increase opportunities for engagement
            on NATO's priority technology areas, including artificial
            intelligence, data, autonomy, quantum-enabled technologies,
            biotechnology, hypersonic technologies, space, novel materials
            and manufacturing, and energy and propulsion; and
                (4) through DIANA, NATO allies will foster innovative
            ecosystems and develop talent for dual use technologies to
            maintain NATO's strategic advantage.

    SEC. 1340. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE ARMING OF UKRAINE.

        It is the sense of the Senate that Ukraine would derive military
    benefit from the provision of munitions such as the dual-purpose
    improved conventional munition (DPICM). Such weapons could be fired
    from systems in the existing Ukrainian inventory and would enhance
    Ukraine's stockpile of available munitions and would bolster Ukraine's
    efforts to end Russia's illegal and unjust war. The Department of
    Defense, in concert with the other members of the Ukraine Defense
    Contract Group, should continue to support Ukraine's brave fight to
    defeat the invasion of the Russian Federation. The Department of
    Defense, in close coordination with the State Department, should assess
    the feasibility and advisability of providing such munitions, including
    giving appropriate attention to humanitarian considerations, including
    supporting Ukraine's effort to end the widespread suffering of the
    Ukrainian people by bringing Russia's war of choice to an end as soon
    as possible on terms favorable to Ukraine, as well as the views of
    other members of the Ukraine Defense Contract Group.

            will prioritize our single greatest asymmetric strength: our
            network of security alliances and partnerships. Across the

            deepen our interoperability and develop and deploy advanced
            warfighting capabilities as we support them in defending their
            citizens and their sovereign interests.''.
                (3) Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin testified on March
            28, 2023, that ``our allies and partners are a huge force
            multiplier. They magnify our power, advance our shared security
            interests, and help uphold a world that is free, open,
            prosperous, and secure.''.

            Indo-Pacific Command is strengthening all layers of our
            security network: allies, multilateral arrangements, partners,
            friends, and the Five Eyes nations. We execute security

            and socially marginalized;
                (2) organizations of persons with disabilities and family
            members of persons with disabilities are often too small to

                (3) as a result of the factors described in paragraphs (1)
            and (2), key stakeholders have often been left out of public
            policymaking on matters that affect children with disabilities;
            and
                (4) financial support, technical assistance, and active
            engagement of persons with disabilities and their families is
            needed to ensure the development of effective policies that
            protect families, ensure the full inclusion in society of
            children with disabilities, and promote the ability of persons
            with disabilities to live in the community with choices equal
            to others.

    SEC. 1617. SENSE OF SENATE ON POLARIS SALES AGREEMENT.

        (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
                (1) On December 21, 1962, President John F. Kennedy and
            Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Harold Macmillan met in
            Nassau, Bahamas, and issued a joint statement (commonly
            referred to as the ``Statement on Nuclear Defense Systems''),
            agreeing that the United States would make Polaris missiles
            available on a continuing basis to the United Kingdom for use
            in submarines.
                (2) On April 6, 1963, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Her
            Majesty's Ambassador to the United States David Ormsby-Gore
            signed the Polaris Sales Agreement, reaffirming the Statement
            on Nuclear Defense Systems and agreeing that the United States
            Government shall provide and the Government of the United
            Kingdom shall purchase from the United States Government
            Polaris missiles, equipment, and supporting services.
                (3) The HMS Resolution launched the first Polaris missile
            of the United Kingdom on February 15, 1968, and, in 1969,
            commenced the first strategic deterrent patrol for the United
            Kingdom, initiating a continuous at-sea deterrent posture for
            the United Kingdom that remains in effect.
                (4) The Polaris Sales Agreement was amended to include the
            Trident II (D5) strategic weapon system on October 19, 1982, in
            Washington, D.C., through an exchange of notes between
            Secretary of State Jonathan Howe and Her Majesty's Ambassador
            to the United States Oliver Wright.
                (5) Through an exchange of letters in 2008 between the
            Secretary of Defense the Honorable Robert Gates and the
            Secretary of State for Defence of the United Kingdom the Right
            Honorable Desmond Browne and under the auspices of the Polaris
            Sales Agreement, the United States Government and the
            Government of the United Kingdom agreed to continue cooperation
            to design a common missile compartment for the follow-on
            ballistic missile submarines of each nation.
        (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the
    Senate--
                (1) recognizes the 60th anniversary of the Polaris Sales
            Agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom of
            Great Britain and Northern Ireland;
                (2) congratulates the Royal Navy for steadfastly
            maintaining the Continuous At-Sea Deterrent;
                (3) Recognizes the important contribution of the Continuous
            At-Sea Deterrent to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization;
                (4) reaffirms that the United Kingdom is a valued and
            special ally of the United States; and
                (5) looks forward to continuing and strengthening the
            shared commitment of the United States and the United Kingdom
            to sustain submarine-based strategic deterrents well into the
            future.

    SEC. 6082. 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 illicit
    sexual conduct at the time of the 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. 6092. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) In 1952, with the enactment of the Immigration and
            Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.), Congress established
            an immigrant visa program to reward foreign nationals who are
            United States Government employees for their service to the
            United States (referred to in this Act as the ``Government
            Employee Immigrant Visa program'').
                (2) For 71 years, the Government Employee Immigrant Visa
            program has allowed foreign nationals with at least 15 years of
            exceptional service to the United States to immigrate to the
            United States with their families.
                (3) Such foreign national employees of the United States
            Government are the bulwark of United States foreign policy,
            risking their lives year after year through civil unrest,
            terrorism, natural disasters, and war.
                (4) The work of such foreign nationals--
                        (A) ensures the safety and well-being of United
                    States citizens;
                        (B) provides security and logistics for visiting
                    delegations; and
                        (C) supports United States Government operations
                    abroad.
                (5) Such foreign nationals include employees of the
            Department of State, the United States Agency for International
            Development, the Department of Defense, the Department of
            Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Department of
            Commerce, and the Department of Agriculture.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United
    States should preserve the immigrant visa program for foreign nationals
    who are employees of the United States Government abroad or of the
    American Institute in Taiwan, and who have provided exceptional service
    over a long term to the United States, by providing a dedicated
    allocation of visas for such employees and their immediate family
    members when visas are not immediately available in the corresponding
    visa category.

    SEC. 6231. BLACK SEA SECURITY AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY.

        (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Black Sea
    Security Act of 2023''.
        (b) Sense of Congress on Black Sea Security.--It is the sense of
    Congress that--
                (1) it is in the interest of the United States to support
            efforts to prevent the spread of further armed conflict in
            Europe by recognizing the Black Sea region as an arena of
            Russian aggression;
                (2) littoral states of the Black Sea are critical in
            countering aggression by the Government of the Russian
            Federation and contributing to the collective security of NATO;
                (3) the repeated, illegal, unprovoked, and violent attempts
            of the Russian Federation to expand its territory and control
            access to the Mediterranean Sea through the Black Sea
            constitutes a threat to the national security of the United
            States and NATO;
                (4) the United States condemns attempts by the Russian
            Federation to change or alter boundaries in the Black Sea
            region by force or any means contrary to international law and
            to impose a sphere of influence across the region;
                (5) the United States condemns Russia's illegitimate
            territorial claims, including those on the Crimean Peninsula,
            along Ukraine's territorial waters in the Black Sea and the Sea
            of Azov, in the Black Sea's international waters, and in the
            territories it is illegally occupying in Ukraine;
                (6) the United States should continue to work within NATO
            and with NATO allies to develop a long-term strategy to enhance
            security, establish a permanent, sustainable presence along
            NATO's eastern flank, and bolster the democratic resilience of
            its allies and partners in the region;
                (7) the United States should consider whether it should
            work within NATO and with NATO allies to develop a regular,
            rotational maritime presence in the Black Sea;
                (8) the United States should work with the European Union
            on coordinating a strategy to support democratic initiatives
            and economic prosperity in the region, which includes 2
            European Union members and 4 European Union aspirant nations;
                (9) the United States should work to foster dialogue among
            countries within the Black Sea region to improve communication
            and intelligence sharing and increase cyber defense
            capabilities;
                (10) countries with historic and economic ties to Russia
            are looking to the United States and Europe to provide a
            positive economic presence in the broader region as a
            counterbalance to the Russian Federation's malign influence in
            the region;
                (11) it is in the interest of the United States to support
            and bolster the economic ties between the United States and
            Black Sea states;
                (12) the United States should support the initiative
            undertaken by central and eastern European states to advance
            the Three Seas Initiative Fund to strengthen transport, energy,
            and digital infrastructure connectivity in the region between
            the Adriatic Sea, Baltic Sea, and Black Sea;
                (13) there are mutually beneficial opportunities for
            increased investment and economic expansion, particularly on
            energy and transport infrastructure initiatives, between the
            United States and Black Sea states and the broader region;
                (14) improved economic ties between the United States and
            the Black Sea states and the broader region can lead to a
            strengthened strategic partnership;
                (15) the United States must seek to address the food
            security challenges arising from disruption of Ukraine's Black
            Sea and Azov Sea ports, as this global challenge will have
            critical national security implications for the United States,
            our partners, and allies;
                (16) Turkey, in coordination with the United Nations, has
            played an important role in alleviating global food insecurity
            by negotiating two agreements to allow grain exports from
            Ukrainian ports through a safe corridor in the Black Sea;
                (17) Russia has a brutal history of using hunger as a
            weapon and must be stopped; and
                (18) countering the PRC's coercive economic pursuits
            remains an important policy imperative in order to further
            integrate the Black Sea states into western economies and
            improve regional stability.
        (c) United States Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
                (1) to actively deter the threat of Russia's further
            escalation in the Black Sea region and defend freedom of
            navigation in the Black Sea to prevent the spread of further
            armed conflict in Europe;
                (2) to advocate within NATO, among NATO allies, and within
            the European Union to develop a long-term coordinated strategy
            to enhance security, establish a sustainable presence in the
            eastern flank, and bolster the democratic resilience of United
            States allies and partners in the region;
                (3) to consider whether to advocate within NATO and among
            NATO allies to develop a regular, rotational maritime presence
            in the Black Sea;
                (4) to support and bolster the economic ties between the
            United States and Black Sea partners and mobilize the
            Department of State, the Department of Defense, and other
            relevant Federal departments and agencies by enhancing the
            United States presence and investment in Black Sea states;
                (5) to provide economic alternatives to the PRC's coercive
            economic options that destabilize and further erode economic
            integration of the Black Sea states;
                (6) to ensure that the United States continues to support
            Black Sea states' efforts to strengthen their democratic
            institutions to prevent corruption and accelerate their
            advancement into the Euroatlantic community; and
                (7) to encourage the initiative undertaken by central and
            eastern European states to advance the Three Seas Initiative to
            strengthen transport, energy, and digital infrastructure
            connectivity in the region between the Adriatic Sea, Baltic
            Sea, and Black Sea.

            2003 (Public Law 107-228; 22 U.S.C. 2321k note) required that
            Taiwan be treated as if it were designated as a major non-NATO
            ally (as defined in section 644(q) of the Foreign Assistance
            Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2403(q)).
        (b) Eligibility for Strategic Trade Authorization.--The President,
    consistent with the commitments of the United States under
    international arrangements, shall take steps so that Taiwan may be
    treated as if it were included in the list of countries eligible for
    the strategic trade authorization exception under section 740.20(c)(1)
    of the Export Administration Regulations to the requirement for a
    license for the export, re-export, or in-country transfer of an item
    subject to controls under the Export Administration Regulations.
        (c) Criteria.--Before the President may treat Taiwan as eligible
    for the exception described in subsection (b), the President shall
    ensure that Taiwan satisfies any applicable criteria normally required
    for inclusion in the Country Group A:5 list set forth in Supplement No.
    1 to part 740 of the Export Administration Regulations, particularly
    with respect to alignment of export control policies with such policies
    of the United States.
        (d) Export Administration Regulations Defined.--In this section,
    the term ``Export Administration Regulations'' has the meaning given
    that term in section 1742 of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (50
    U.S.C. 4801).

    SEC. 6243. AUDIT TO IDENTIFY DIVERSION OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FUNDING

                           Subtitle G--Other Matters

    SEC. 6291. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON DIGITAL TRADE AND THE DIGITAL
                  ECONOMY.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Over half of the world's population, totaling more than
            5,000,000,000 people, use the internet.
                (2) The digital economy encompasses the economic and social
            activity from billions of online connections among people,
            businesses, devices, and data as a result of the internet,
            mobile technology, and the internet of things.
                (3) The Bureau of Economic Analysis found that the digital
            economy contributed nearly 10.3 percent of United States gross
            domestic product and supported 8,000,000 United States jobs in
            2020.
                (4) The digital sector added 1,400,000 new jobs between
            2019 and 2022.
                (5) United States jobs supported by the digital economy
            have sustained annual wage growth at a rate of 5.9 percent
            since 2010, as compared to a 4.2 percent for all jobs.
                (6) In 2021, United States exports of digital services
            surpassed $594,000,000,000, accounting for more than half of
            all United States services exports and generating a digital
            services trade surplus for the United States of
            $262,300,000,000.
                (7) Digital trade bolsters the digital economy by enabling
            the sale of goods on the internet and the supply of online
            services across borders and depends on the free flow of data
            across borders to promote commerce, manufacturing, and
            innovation.
                (8) Digital trade has become increasingly vital to United
            States workers and businesses of all sizes, including the
            countless small and medium-sized enterprises that use digital
            technology, data flows, and e-commerce to export goods and
            services across the world.
                (9) Digital trade has advanced entrepreneurship
            opportunities for women, people of color, and individuals from
            otherwise underrepresented backgrounds and enabled the
            formation of innovative start-ups.
                (10) International supply chains are becoming increasingly
            digitized and data driven and businesses in a variety of
            industries, such as construction, healthcare, transportation,
            and aerospace, invested heavily in digital supply chain
            technologies in 2020.
                (11) United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai said,
            ``[T]here is no bright line separating digital trade from the
            digital economy--or the `traditional' economy for that matter.
            Nearly every aspect of our economy has been digitized to some
            degree.''.
                (12) Industries outside of the technology sector, such as
            manufacturing and agriculture, are integrating digital
            technology into their businesses in order to increase
            efficiency, improve safety, reach new customers, and remain
            globally competitive.
                (13) The increasing reliance on digital technologies has
            modernized legacy processes, accelerated workflows, increased
            access to information and services, and strengthened security
            in a variety of industries, leading to better health,
            environmental, and safety outcomes.
                (14) The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased uptake and
            reliance on digital technologies, data flows, and e-commerce.
                (15) Ninety percent of adults in the United States say that
            the internet has been essential or important for them
            personally during the COVID-19 pandemic.
                (16) United States families, workers, and business owners
            have seen how vital access to the internet has been to daily
            life, as work, education, medicine, and communication with
            family and friends have shifted increasingly online.
                (17) Many individuals and families, especially in rural and
            Tribal communities, struggle to participate in the digital
            economy because of a lack of access to a reliable internet
            connection.
                (18) New developments in technology must be deployed with
            consideration to the unique access challenges of rural, urban
            underserved, and vulnerable communities.
                (19) Digital trade has the power to help level the playing
            field and uplift those in traditionally unrepresented or
            underrepresented communities.
                (20) Countries have negotiated international rules
            governing digital trade in various bilateral and plurilateral
            agreements, but those rules remain fragmented, and no
            multilateral agreement on digital trade exists within the World
            Trade Organization.
                (21) The United States, through free trade agreements or
            other digital agreements, has been a leader in developing a set
            of rules and standards on digital governance and e-commerce
            that has helped allies and partners of the United States unlock
            the full economic and social potential of digital trade.
                (22) Congress recognizes the need for agreements on digital
            trade, as indicated by its support for a robust digital trade
            chapter in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
                (23) Other countries are operating under their own digital
            rules, some of which are contrary to democratic values shared
            by the United States and many allies and partners of the United
            States.
                (24) Those countries are attempting to advance their own
            digital rules on a global scale.
                (25) Examples of the plethora of nontariff barriers to
            digital trade that have emerged around the globe include--
                        (A) overly restrictive data localization
                    requirements and limitations on cross border data flows
                    that do not achieve legitimate public policy
                    objectives;
                        (B) intellectual property rights infringement;
                        (C) policies that make market access contingent on
                    forced technology transfers or voluntary transfers
                    subject to coercive terms;
                        (D) web filtering;
                        (E) economic espionage;
                        (F) cybercrime exposure; and
                        (G) government-directed theft of trade secrets.
                (26) Certain countries are pursuing or have implemented
            digital policies that unfairly discriminate against innovative
            United States technology companies and United States workers
            that create and deliver digital products and services.
                (27) The Government of the People's Republic of China is
            currently advancing a model for digital governance and the
            digital economy domestically and abroad through its Digital
            Silk Road Initiative that permits censorship, surveillance,
            human and worker rights abuses, forced technology transfers,
            and data flow restrictions at the expense of human and worker
            rights, privacy, the free flow of data, and an open internet.
                (28) The 2022 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices of
            the Department of State highlighted significant human rights
            issues committed by the People's Republic of China in the
            digital realm, including ``arbitrary interference with privacy
            including pervasive and intrusive technical surveillance and
            monitoring including the use of COVID-19 tracking apps for
            nonpublic-health purposes; punishment of family members for
            offenses allegedly committed by an individual; serious
            restrictions on free expression and media, including physical
            attacks on and criminal prosecution of journalists, lawyers,
            writers, bloggers, dissidents, petitioners, and others; serious
            restrictions on internet freedom, including site blocking''.
                (29) The United States discourages digital
            authoritarianism, including practices that undermine human and
            worker rights and result in other social and economic coercion.
                (30) Allies and trading partners of the United States in
            the Indo-Pacific region have urged the United States to deepen
            economic engagement in the region by negotiating rules on
            digital trade and technology standards.
                (31) The digital economy has provided new opportunities for
            economic development, entrepreneurship, and growth in
            developing countries around the world.
                (32) Negotiating strong digital trade principles and
            commitments with allies and partners across the globe enables
            the United States to unite like-minded economies around common
            standards and ensure that principles of democracy, rule of law,
            freedom of speech, human and worker rights, privacy, and a free
            and open internet are at the very core of digital governance.
                (33) United States leadership and substantive engagement is
            necessary to ensure that global digital rules reflect United
            States values so that workers are treated fairly, small
            businesses can compete and win in the global economy, and
            consumers are guaranteed the right to privacy and security.
                (34) The United States supports rules that reduce digital
            trade barriers, promote free expression and the free flow of
            information, enhance privacy protections, protect sensitive
            information, defend human and worker rights, prohibit forced
            technology transfer, and promote digitally enabled commerce.
                (35) The United States supports efforts to cooperate with
            allies and trading partners to mitigate the risks of
            cyberattacks, address potentially illegal or deceptive business
            activities online, promote financial inclusion and digital
            workforce skills, and develop rules to govern the use of
            artificial intelligence and other emerging and future
            technologies.
        (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
                (1) the United States should negotiate strong, inclusive,
            forward-looking, and enforceable rules on digital trade and the
            digital economy with like-minded countries as part of a broader
            trade and economic strategy to address digital barriers and
            ensure that the United States values of democracy, rule of law,
            freedom of speech, human and worker rights, privacy, and a free
            and open internet are at the very core of the digital world and
            advanced technology;
                (2) in conducting such negotiations, the United States
            must--
                        (A) pursue digital trade rules that--
                                (i) serve the best interests of workers,
                            consumers, and small and medium-sized
                            enterprises;
                                (ii) empower United States workers;
                                (iii) fuel wage growth; and
                                (iv) lead to materially positive economic
                            outcomes for all people in the United States;
                        (B) ensure that any future agreement prevents the
                    adoption of non-democratic, coercive, or overly
                    restrictive policies that would be obstacles to a free
                    and open internet and harm the ability of the e-
                    commerce marketplace to continue to grow and thrive;
                        (C) coordinate sufficient trade-related assistance
                    to ensure that developing countries can improve their
                    capacity and benefit from increased digital trade; and
                        (D) consult closely with all relevant stakeholders,
                    including workers, consumers, small and medium-sized
                    enterprises, civil society groups, and human rights
                    advocates; and
                (3) with respect to any negotiations for an agreement
            facilitating digital trade, the United States Trade
            Representative and the heads of other relevant Federal agencies
            must consult closely and on a timely basis with Congress.

        (a) Certification Required.--
                (1) In general.--Not less than 60 days prior to
            transferring one or more Virginia class submarines from the
            inventory of the United States Navy to the Government of
            Australia, under section 21 of the Arms Export Control Act (22
            U.S.C. 2761), the President shall certify to the appropriate
            congressional committees that--
                        (A) any submarine transferred under such authority
                    shall be used to support the joint security interests
                    and military operations of the United States and
                    Australia;
                        (B) Submarine Rotational Forces-West Full
                    Operational Capability to support 4 rotationally
                    deployed Virginia-class submarines and one Astute-class
                    submarine has been achieved, including the Government
                    of Australia having demonstrated the domestic capacity
                    to fully perform all the associated activities
                    necessary for the safe hosting and operation of
                    nuclear-powered submarines; and
                        (C) Australia Sovereign-Ready Initial Operational
                    Capability to support a Royal Australian Navy Virginia-
                    class submarine has been achieved, including the
                    Government of Australia having demonstrated the
                    domestic capacity to fully perform all the associated--
                                (i) activities necessary for the safe
                            hosting and operation of nuclear-powered
                            submarines;
                                (ii) crewing;

                      TITLE LXVIII--FEND OFF FENTANYL ACT

    SEC. 6801. SHORT TITLE.

        This title may be cited as the ``Fentanyl Eradication and Narcotics
    Deterrence Off Fentanyl Act'' or the ``FEND Off Fentanyl Act''.

    SEC. 6802. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

        It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the proliferation of fentanyl is causing an
            unprecedented surge in overdose deaths in the United States,
            fracturing families and communities, and necessitating a
            comprehensive policy response to combat its lethal flow and to
            mitigate the drug's devastating consequences;
                (2) the trafficking of fentanyl into the United States is a
            national security threat that has killed hundreds of thousands
            of United States citizens;
                (3) transnational criminal organizations, including cartels
            primarily based in Mexico, are the main purveyors of fentanyl
            into the United States and must be held accountable;
                (4) precursor chemicals sourced from the People's Republic
            of China are--
                        (A) shipped from the People's Republic of China by
                    legitimate and illegitimate means;
                        (B) transformed through various synthetic processes
                    to produce different forms of fentanyl; and
                        (C) crucial to the production of illicit fentanyl
                    by transnational criminal organizations, contributing
                    to the ongoing opioid crisis;
                (5) the United States Government must remain vigilant to
            address all new forms of fentanyl precursors and drugs used in
            combination with fentanyl, such as Xylazine, which attribute to
            overdose deaths of people in the United States;
                (6) to increase the cost of fentanyl trafficking, the
            United States Government should work collaboratively across
            agencies and should surge analytic capability to impose
            sanctions and other remedies with respect to transnational
            criminal organizations (including cartels), including foreign
            nationals who facilitate the trade in illicit fentanyl and its
            precursors from the People's Republic of China; and
                (7) the Department of the Treasury should focus on fentanyl
            trafficking and its facilitators as one of the top national
            security priorities for the Department.

    frustration among those seeking to obtain or renew passports.
        (b) Online Chat Feature.--The Department should develop an online

                (2) the Department should continuously evaluate all

            reviews, and preclusions at the Department.

                (2) if their assignment status is subject to ongoing
            review, and an estimated date for completion; and
                (3) if they are subject to any other restrictions on their
            ability to serve at posts abroad.
        (d) Adjudication of Ongoing Assignment Reviews.--
                (1) Time limit.--The Department shall establish a
            reasonable time limit for the Department to complete an
            assignment review and establish a deadline by which it must

                (1) In general.--Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (c) of
            section 40118 of title 49, United States Code, the Department
            is authorized to pay for the transportation by a foreign air
            carrier of Department personnel and any in-cabin or
            accompanying checked baggage or cargo if--
                        (A) no air carrier holding a certificate under
                    section 41102 of such title is willing and able to
                    transport up to 3 domestic animals accompanying such
                    Federal personnel; and
                        (B) the transportation is from a place--
                                (i) outside the United States to a place in
                            the United States;

            for transportation by a foreign carrier may not be greater than

            under section 41102 had that carrier been willing and able to
            provide such transportation. If the amount that would otherwise
            have been paid to such an air carrier is less than the cost of
            transportation on the applicable foreign carrier, the
            Department personnel may pay the difference of such amount.
                (3) Domestic animal defined.--In this subsection, the term
            ``domestic animal'' means a dog or a cat.

                    support to every office in each mission working to
                    advance United States interests around the world,

                    within media, civil society, the business community,
                    academia, the armed forces, and elsewhere; and
                (2) locally employed staff make important contributions
            that should warrant the United States Government to give due
            consideration for their security and safety when diplomatic
            missions face emergency situations.
        (b) Authorization to Provide Emergency Support.--In emergency
    situations, in addition to other authorities that may be available in

                (1) in subsection (l), by striking ``; and'' and inserting
            a semicolon;
                (2) in subsection (m) by striking the period at the end and

    SEC. 6230. SUPPORTING TANDEM COUPLES IN THE FOREIGN SERVICE.

        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) challenges finding and maintaining spousal employment
            and family dissatisfaction are one of the leading reasons
            employees cite for leaving the Department;
                (2) tandem Foreign Service personnel represent important
            members of the Foreign Service community, who act as force
            multipliers for our diplomacy;
                (3) the Department can and should do more to keep tandem
            couples posted together and consider family member employment
            needs when assigning tandem officers; and
                (4) common sense steps providing more flexibility in the
            assignments process would improve outcomes for tandem officers
            without disadvantaging other Foreign Service officers.

            members of a tandem couple of Foreign Service personnel.
                (2) Tandem foreign service personnel; tandem.--The terms
            ``tandem Foreign Service personnel'' and ``tandem'' mean a
            member of a couple of which one spouse is a career or career
            candidate employee of the Foreign Service and the other spouse
            is a career or 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
    after the date of enactment of this Act, the Department shall 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 spouse if they request to be assigned to the same
            post or country. The Secretary shall also provide a written
            justification to the requesting personnel explaining any denial
            of a request that would result in a tandem couple not serving
            together at the same post or country.
                (2) Tenured foreign service personnel.--The Secretary shall
            add family togetherness to the criteria when making a needs of
            the Service determination, as defined by the Foreign Affairs
            Manual, for the placement of tenured tandem Foreign Service
            personnel at United States diplomatic posts.
                (3) Updates to antinepotism policy.--The Secretary shall
            update antinepotism policies so that nepotism rules only apply
            when an employee and a relative are placed into positions
            wherein they jointly and exclusively control government
            resources, property, or money or establish government policy.
                (4) Temporary supervision of tandem spouse.--The Secretary
            shall update policies to allow for a tandem spouse to
            temporarily supervise another tandem spouse for up to 90 days
            in a calendar year, including at a United States diplomatic
            mission.
        (d) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of
    this Act, and annually thereafter for two years, the Secretary shall
    submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report that
    includes--
                (1) the number of Foreign Service tandem couples currently
            serving;
                (2) the number of Foreign Service tandems currently serving
            in separate locations, or, to the extent possible, are on leave
            without pay (LWOP); and
                (3) an estimate of the cost savings that would result if
            all Foreign Service tandem couples were placed at a single
            post.

        Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this
    Act, the Department shall submit to the appropriate congressional
    committees, the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate, and the

    that includes--

            missions that, as of the date of the enactment of this Act, are
            not readily accessible to and usable by individuals with
            disabilities;
                (2) any efforts in progress to make such missions readily
            accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities; and
                (3) an estimate of the cost to make all such missions
            readily accessible to and usable by individuals with

             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.

                            TECHNOLOGIES (CDT) FUND

    ``SEC. 591. FINDINGS.

        ``Congress makes the following findings:
                ``(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.
                ``(2) The rapid development, deployment, and integration of
            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--

                (2) allocate up to 20 personal services contractors to a
            given bureau, without regard to the sources of funding such
            office relies on to compensate individuals.
        (d) Limitation.--Employment authorized by this section shall not

    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 Act,
    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.
        (c) Study on Feasibility of Allowing Non-Consular Foreign Service
    Officers Given Directed Consular Posts to Volunteer for Hard-to-fill
    Posts in Understaffed Regions.--
                (1) Study.--
                        (A) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the
                    date of the enactment of this Act, 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

                (2) Congress recognizes and condemns the role of nefarious
            security actors, including state and non-state armed groups,
            who have utilized hunger as a weapon of war, including through
            the unanimous adoption of House of Representatives Resolution
            922 and Senate Resolution 669 relating to ``[c]ondemning the
            use of hunger as a weapon of war and recognizing the effect of
            conflict on global food security and famine''; and
                (3) the United States should use the diplomatic and
            humanitarian tools at our disposal to not only fight global
            hunger, mitigate the spread of conflict, and promote critical,
            lifesaving assistance, but also hold perpetrators using hunger

                    survival, such as food supplies and nutrition

                    States announced in September 2021.
                        (B) Pillars.--The AUKUS partnership includes the
                    following two pillars:
                                (i) Pillar One is focused on developing a
                            pathway for Australia to acquire conventionally
                            armed, nuclear-powered submarines.
                                (ii) Pillar Two is focused on enhancing
                            trilateral collaboration on advanced defense
                            capabilities, including hypersonic and counter

                  Subtitle A--Outlining the AUKUS Partnership

    SEC. 6811. STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE AUKUS PARTNERSHIP.

        (a) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States
    that--
                (1) the AUKUS partnership is integral to United States
            national security, increasing United States and allied
            capability in the undersea domain of the Indo-Pacific, and
            developing cutting edge military capabilities;
                (2) the transfer of conventionally armed, nuclear-powered
            submarines to Australia, if implemented appropriately, will
            position the United States and its allies to maintain peace and
            security in the Indo-Pacific;
                (3) the transfer of conventionally armed, nuclear-powered
            submarines to Australia will be safely implemented with the
            highest nonproliferation standards in alignment with--
                        (A) safeguards established by the International
                    Atomic Energy Agency; and
                        (B) the Additional Protocol to the Agreement
                    between Australia and the International Atomic Energy
                    Agency for the application of safeguards in connection
                    with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear
                    Weapons, signed at Vienna September 23, 1997;
                (4) the United States will enter into a mutual defense
            agreement with Australia, modeled on the 1958 bilateral mutual
            defense agreement with the United Kingdom, for the sole purpose
            of facilitating the transfer of naval nuclear propulsion
            technology to Australia;
                (5) working with the United Kingdom and Australia to
            develop and provide joint advanced military capabilities to
            promote security and stability in the Indo-Pacific will have
            tangible impacts on United States military effectiveness across
            the world;
                (6) in order to better facilitate cooperation under Pillar
            2 of the AUKUS partnership, it is imperative that every effort
            be made to streamline United States export controls consistent
            with necessary and reciprocal security safeguards on United
            States technology at least comparable to those of the United
            States;
                (7) the trade authorization mechanism for the AUKUS
            partnership administered by the Department is a critical first
            step in reimagining the United States export control system to
            carry out the AUKUS partnership and expedite technology sharing
            and defense trade among the United States, Australia, and the
            United Kingdom; and
                (8) the vast majority of United States defense trade with
            Australia is conducted through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS)
            process, the preponderance of defense trade with the United
            Kingdom is conducted through Direct Commercial Sales (DCS), and
            efforts to streamline United States export controls should
            focus on both Foreign Military Sales and Direct Commercial
            Sales.

    SEC. 6812. SENIOR ADVISOR FOR THE AUKUS PARTNERSHIP AT THE DEPARTMENT
                  OF STATE.

            the Federal Government's knowledge and involvement surrounding
            unidentified anomalous phenomena.
                (3) Legislation is necessary to create an enforceable,
            independent, and accountable process for the public disclosure
            of such records.
                (4) Legislation is necessary because credible evidence and
            testimony indicates that Federal Government unidentified
            anomalous phenomena records exist that have not been
            declassified or subject to mandatory declassification review as
            set forth in Executive Order 13526 (50 U.S.C. 3161 note;
            relating to classified national security information) due in
            part to exemptions under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42
            U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), as well as an over-broad interpretation
            of ``transclassified foreign nuclear information'', which is
            also exempt from mandatory declassification, thereby preventing
            public disclosure under existing provisions of law.
                (5) Legislation is necessary because section 552 of title
            5, United States Code (commonly referred to as the ``Freedom of
            Information Act''), as implemented by the Executive branch of
            the Federal Government, has proven inadequate in achieving the
            timely public disclosure of Government unidentified anomalous
            phenomena records that are subject to mandatory
            declassification review.
                (6) Legislation is necessary to restore proper oversight
            over unidentified anomalous phenomena records by elected
            officials in both the executive and legislative branches of the
            Federal Government that has otherwise been lacking as of the
            enactment of this Act.
                (7) Legislation is necessary to afford complete and timely
            access to all knowledge gained by the Federal Government
            concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena in furtherance of
            comprehensive open scientific and technological research and
            development essential to avoiding or mitigating potential
            technological surprise in furtherance of urgent national
            security concerns and the public interest.
        (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this division are--
                (1) to provide for the creation of the unidentified
            anomalous phenomena Records Collection at the National Archives
            and Records Administration; and
                (2) to require the expeditious public transmission to the
            Archivist and public disclosure of such records.

                (20) Temporarily non-attributed objects.--
                        (A) In general.--The term ``temporarily non-
                    attributed objects'' means the class of objects that
                    temporarily resist prosaic attribution by the initial

                    limitations associated with the observation process
                    that nevertheless ultimately have an accepted human
                    origin or known physical cause. Although some
                    unidentified anomalous phenomena may at first be
                    interpreted as temporarily non-attributed objects, they
                    are not temporarily non-attributed objects, and the two
                    categories are mutually exclusive.
                        (B) Inclusion.--The term ``temporarily non-
                    attributed objects'' includes--
                                (i) natural celestial, meteorological, and
                            undersea weather phenomena;

                            clutter, and marine debris;
                                (iii) Federal, State, and local government,
                            commercial industry, academic, and private
                            sector aerospace platforms;

                (21) Third agency.--The term ``third agency'' means a
            Government agency that originated a unidentified anomalous
            phenomena record that is in the possession of another
            Government agency.
                (22) Unidentified anomalous phenomena.--
                        (A) In general.--The term ``unidentified anomalous
                    phenomena'' means any object operating or judged
                    capable of operating in outer-space, the atmosphere,
                    ocean surfaces, or undersea lacking prosaic attribution
                    due to performance characteristics and properties not
                    previously known to be achievable based upon commonly
                    accepted physical principles. Unidentified anomalous
                    phenomena are differentiated from both attributed and
                    temporarily non-attributed objects by one or more of
                    the following observables:
                                (i) Instantaneous acceleration absent
                            apparent inertia.

                            and air-to-undersea) travel.
                                (iv) Positive lift contrary to known
                            aerodynamic principles.
                                (v) Multispectral signature control.
                                (vi) Physical or invasive biological
                            effects to close observers and the environment.
                        (B) Inclusions.--The term ``unidentified anomalous
                    phenomena'' includes what were previously described
                    as--
                                (i) flying discs;

                (23) Unidentified anomalous phenomena record.--The term
            ``unidentified anomalous phenomena record'' means a record that
            is related to unidentified anomalous phenomena, technologies of
            unknown origin, or non-human intelligence (and all equivalent
            subjects by any other name with the specific and sole exclusion
            of temporarily non-attributed objects) that was created or made
            available for use by, obtained by, or otherwise came into the
            possession of--

            with the heads of such Government offices as the Archivist
            considers appropriate, shall prepare and make available to all
            Government offices a standard form of identification, or
            finding aid, for use with each unidentified anomalous phenomena
            record subject to review under this division whether in
            hardcopy (physical), softcopy (electronic), or digitized data
            format as may be appropriate.
                (B) The Archivist shall ensure that the identification aid
            program is established in such a manner as to result in the
            creation of a uniform system for cataloging and finding every

            the Collection without any additional review by the Review
            Board or another authorized office under this division, and
            shall not be required to have such an identification aid unless
            required by the Archivist.
        (e) Transmission to the National Archives.--Each head of a
    Government office shall--
                (1) transmit to the Archivist, and make immediately
            available to the public, all unidentified anomalous phenomena
            records of the Government office that can be publicly
            disclosed, including those that are publicly available on the
            date of the enactment of this Act, without any redaction,
            adjustment, or withholding under the standards of this
            division; and
                (2) transmit to the Archivist upon approval for
            postponement by the Review Board or upon completion of other
            action authorized by this division, all unidentified anomalous
            phenomena records of the Government office the public
            disclosure of which has been postponed, in whole or in part,
            under the standards of this division, to become part of the
            protected, yet-to-be disclosed, or classified portion of the
            Collection.
        (f) Custody of Postponed Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena
    Records.--An unidentified anomalous phenomena record the public
    disclosure of which has been postponed shall, pending transmission to
    the Archivist, be held for reasons of security and preservation by the
    originating body until such time as the information security program
    has been established at the National Archives as required in section
    9004(d)(2).
        (g) Periodic Review of Postponed Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena
    Records.--
                (1) In general.--All postponed or redacted records shall be
            reviewed periodically by the originating agency and the
            Archivist consistent with the recommendations of the Review
            Board in the Controlled Disclosure Campaign Plan under section
            9009(c)(3)(B).
                (2) Requirements.--(A) A periodic review under paragraph
            (1) shall address the public disclosure of additional
            unidentified anomalous phenomena records in the Collection
            under the standards of this division.
                (B) All postponed unidentified anomalous phenomena records
            determined to require continued postponement shall require an
            unclassified written description of the reason for such
            continued postponement relevant to these specific records. Such
            description shall be provided to the Archivist and published in
            the Federal Register upon determination.
                (C) The time and release requirements specified in the
            Controlled Disclosure Campaign Plan shall be revised or amended
            only if the Review Board is still in session and concurs with
            the rationale for postponement, subject to the limitations in
            section 9009(d)(1).
                (D) The periodic review of postponed unidentified anomalous
            phenomena records shall serve to downgrade and declassify
            security classified information.
                (E) 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, as required by this division, 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.--Executive agencies shall--
                        (A) transmit digital records electronically in

            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. 9006. GROUNDS FOR POSTPONEMENT OF PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF
                  UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA RECORDS.

        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 division
    if 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 reveal the name or identity of a living
            person who provided confidential information to the Federal
            Government and would pose a substantial risk of harm to that
            person;
                (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.

      DIVISION L--COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS

               TITLE LXIX--FEDERAL DATA AND INFORMATION SECURITY

            Subtitle A--Federal Data Center Enhancement Act of 2023

    SEC. 11001. SHORT TITLE.

        This subtitle may be cited as the ``Federal Data Center Enhancement
    Act of 2023''.

    SEC. 11002. 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 subtitle, 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
    Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (44 U.S.C. 3601 note; Public Law 113-291) is
    amended--

           Subtitle B--Intergovernmental Critical Minerals Task Force

    SEC. 11311. SHORT TITLE.

        This subtitle may be cited as the ``Intergovernmental Critical
    Minerals Task Force Act''.

    SEC. 11312. FINDINGS.

        Congress finds that--
                (1) current supply chains of critical minerals pose a great
            risk to the national security of the United States;
                (2) critical minerals are necessary for transportation,
            technology, renewable energy, military equipment and machinery,
            and other relevant sectors crucial for the homeland and
            national security of the United States;
                (3) in 2022, the United States was 100 percent import
            reliant for 12 out of 50 critical minerals and more than 50
            percent import reliant for an additional 31 critical mineral
            commodities classified as ``critical'' by the United States
            Geological Survey, and the People's Republic of China was the
            top producing nation for 30 of those 50 critical minerals;
                (4) as of July, 2023, companies based in the People's
            Republic of China that extract critical minerals around the
            world have received hundreds of charges of human rights
            violations;
                (5) on March 26, 2014, the World Trade Organization ruled
            that the export restraints by the People's Republic of China on
            rare earth metals violated obligations under the protocol of
            accession to the World Trade Organization, which harmed
            manufacturers and workers in the United States; and
                (6) the President has yet to submit to Congress the plans
            and recommendations that were due on the December 27, 2022,
            deadline under section 5(a) of the National Materials and
            Minerals Policy, Research and Development Act of 1980 (30
            U.S.C. 1604(a)), which are intended to support a coherent
            national mineral and materials policy, including through
            intergovernmental and interagency coordination.

            Intelligence Agency.
                (2) Qualifying injury.--The term ``qualifying injury'' has
            the meaning given such term in section 19A(d)(1) of the Central
            Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 (50 U.S.C. 3519b(d)(1)).
        (b) In General.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the
    enactment of this Act, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
    shall submit to the congressional intelligence committees a report on
    the handling of anomalous health incidents by the Agency.
        (c) Contents.--The report required by subsection (b) shall include
    the following:
                (1) HAVANA act implementation.--
                        (A) An explanation of how the Agency determines
                    whether a reported anomalous health incident resulted
                    in a qualifying injury or a qualifying injury to the
                    brain.
                        (B) The number of participants of the Expanded Care
                    Program of the Central Intelligence Agency who--
                                (i) have a certified qualifying injury or a
                            certified qualifying injury to the brain; and
                                (ii) as of September 30, 2023, applied to
                            the Expanded Care Program due to a reported
                            anomalous health incident.
                        (C) A comparison of the number of anomalous health
                    incidents reported by applicants to the Expanded Care
                    Program that occurred in the United States and that
                    occurred in a foreign country.
                        (D) The specific reason each applicant was approved
                    or denied for payment under the Expanded Care Program.
                        (E) The number of applicants who were initially
                    denied payment but were later approved on appeal.
                        (F) The average length of time, from the time of
                    application, for an applicant to receive a
                    determination from the Expanded Care Program,
                    aggregated by qualifying injuries and qualifying
                    injuries to the brain.

                    locations, dates, times, and circumstances.
                        (B) For each priority case listed in accordance
                    with subparagraph (A), a detailed explanation of each
                    credible alternative explanation that the Agency
                    assigned to the incident, including--
                                (i) how the incident was discovered;
                                (ii) how the incident was assigned within

                                (iii) whether an individual affected by the
                            incident is provided an opportunity to appeal
                            the credible alternative explanation.
                        (C) For each priority case of an anomalous health
                    incident determined to be largely consistent with the
                    definition of ``anomalous health incident'' established
                    by the National Academy of Sciences and for which the
