assignments, and other personnel actions of the Armed Forces are based 
primarily on qualifications, performance, and merit.

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.

    (a) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Administrator.--The term ``Administrator'' means the 
        Administrator of the Small Business Administration.
            (2) Small business concern; small business concerns owned 
        and controlled by service-disabled veterans.--The terms ``small 
        business concern'' and ``small business concerns owned and 
        controlled by service-disabled veterans'' have the meanings 
        given those terms in section 3 of the Small Business Act (15 
        U.S.C. 632).
    (b) Eliminating Self-Certification in Prime Contracting and 
Subcontracting for SDVOSBs.--
            (1) In general.--Each prime contract award and subcontract 
        award that is counted for the purpose of meeting the goals for 
        participation by small business concerns owned and controlled 
        by service-disabled veterans in procurement contracts for 
        Federal agencies, as established in section 15(g)(2) of the 
        Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 644(g)(2)), shall be entered into 
        with small business concerns certified by the Administrator as 
        small business concerns owned and controlled by service-
        disabled veterans under section 36 of such Act (15 U.S.C. 
        657f).

        October 1 of the fiscal year beginning after the Administrator 
        promulgates the regulations required under subsection (d).
    (c) Phased Approach to Eliminating Self-Certification for 
SDVOSBs.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any small 
business concern that self-certified as a small business concern owned 
and controlled by service-disabled veterans may--
            (1) if the small business concern files a certification 
        application with the Administrator before the end of the 1-year 
        period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, maintain 
        such self-certification until the Administrator makes a 
        determination with respect to such certification; and
            (2) if the small business concern does not file a 
        certification application before the end of the 1-year period 
        beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, lose, at the 
        end of such 1-year period, any self-certification of the small 
        business concern as a small business concern owned and 
        controlled by service-disabled veterans.
    (d) Rulemaking.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall promulgate regulations 
to carry out this section.

SEC. 1004. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON NEED FOR EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL 
              APPROPRIATIONS.

    It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (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 
Report.--
            (1) Strategy.--
                    (A) In general.--Not later than 120 days after the 
                date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
                Defense, in coordination with other Federal agencies as 
                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 
                subparagraph (A) shall outline how the Secretary of

        Industrial Security Program: Industrial Security Procedures for 
        Government Activities), or successor manual.
            (3) Administrative due process procedures described.--The 
        administrative due process procedures described in this 
        paragraph are the administrative due process procedures 
        described in Department of Defense Directive 5220.6 (relating 
        to Defense Industrial Personnel Security Clearance Review 
        Program), or successor directive, and Executive Order 10865 (50 
        U.S.C. 3161 note; relating to safeguarding classified 
        information within industry).
    (b) Hearings, Appeals, and Final Denials and Revocations of

unify the administrative processes for unfavorable security clearance 
eligibility determinations for covered individuals described in 
subsection (a)(2), the Secretary of Defense shall ensure that all 
hearings, appeals, and final denials and revocations of security 
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 
Defense shall update Department of Defense Manual 5200.02 (relating to 
procedures for Department of Defense Personnel Security Program) and 
Department of Defense Manual 5220.22, Volume 2 (relating to National 
Industrial Security Program: Industrial Security Procedures for

the Director shall issue in consultation with the Director of National

            (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 
        earlier of--

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.

SEC. 1090I. STUDIES AND REPORTS ON TREATMENT OF SERVICE OF CERTAIN 
              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.
    (c) Secretary of Defense Study and Report.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than March 31, 2024, the 
        Secretary of Defense shall--
                    (A) carry out a study on the treatment of covered 
                service for purposes of retired pay 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 military service record should be modified on 
        account of covered service.

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.

SEC. 1339. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON DEFENCE INNOVATION ACCELERATOR FOR 
              THE NORTH ATLANTIC (DIANA) IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY 
              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

            (2) The United States Indo-Pacific Strategy states, ``we 
        will prioritize our single greatest asymmetric strength: our 
        network of security alliances and partnerships. Across the 
        region, the United States will work with allies and partners to 
        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 
        cooperation activities, training, and exercises to strengthen 
        those relationships, build partner capacity, and enhance 
        interoperability.''.

            (3) as a result of the factors described in paragraphs (1)

        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

        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

    ``(a) Procedure for Promotion of Officers on an Approved Promotion

        report of a selection board convened under section 20211 of 
        this title is approved by the President, the Secretary of the 
        Air Force shall place the names of all officers approved for 
        promotion within a competitive category on a single list for 
        that competitive category, to be known as a promotion list, in 
        the order of the seniority of such officers on the list or 
        based on particular merit, as determined by the promotion 
        board. A promotion list is considered to be established under 
        this section as of the date of the approval of the report of 
        the selection board under the preceding sentence.
            ``(2) Order and timing of promotions.--Except as provided 
        in subsection (d), officers on a promotion list for a 
        competitive category shall be promoted to the next higher grade 
        when additional officers in that grade and competitive category 
        are needed. Promotions shall be made in the order in which the 
        names of officers appear on the promotion list and after 
        officers previously selected for promotion in that competitive 
        category have been promoted. Officers to be promoted to the 
        grade of first lieutenant shall be promoted in accordance with 
        regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Air Force.
            ``(3) Limitation on promotions to general officer grades to 
        comply with strength limitations.--Under regulations prescribed 
        by the Secretary of Defense, the promotion of an officer on the 
        Space Force officer list to a general officer grade shall be 
        delayed if that promotion would cause any strength limitation 
        of section 526 of this title to be exceeded. The delay shall 
        expire when the Secretary of the Air Force determines that the 
        delay is no longer required to ensure compliance with the 
        strength limitation.

        qualified officers list.--(A) Except as provided in subsection 
        (d), officers on the Space Force officer list in the grade of 
        first lieutenant who are on an approved all-fully-qualified-
        officers list shall be promoted to the grade of captain in

        recommendation to the President for approval of an all-fully-
        qualified-officers list only when the Secretary determines that 
        all officers on the list are needed in the next higher grade to 
        accomplish mission objectives.

                convening of such a board.

        or more officers or former officers were not placed on an all-
        fully-qualified-list under this paragraph because of 
        administrative error, the Secretary may prepare a supplemental 
        all-fully-qualified-officers list containing the names of any 
        such officers for approval in accordance with this paragraph.
    ``(b) Date of Rank.--The date of rank of an officer appointed to a 
higher grade under this section is determined under section 741(d) of 
this title.

be made by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the 
Senate, except that appointments under this section in the grade of 
first lieutenant or captain shall be made by the President alone.
    ``(d) Authority To Delay Appointments for Specified Reasons.--The 
provisions of subsection (d) of section 624 of this title shall apply 
to the appointment of an officer under this section in the same manner 
as they apply to an appointment of an officer under that section, and 
any reference in that subsection to an active-duty list shall be 
treated for purposes of applicability to an officer of the Space Force

    Section 109 of title 49, United States Code, is amended to read as 
follows:
``Sec. 109. Maritime Administration
    ``(a) Organization and Mission.--The Maritime Administration is an 
administration in the Department of Transportation. The mission of the 
Maritime Administration is to foster, promote, and develop the merchant 
maritime industry of the United States.
    ``(b) Maritime Administrator.--The head of the Maritime 
Administration is the Maritime Administrator, who is appointed by the 
President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The 
Administrator shall report directly to the Secretary of Transportation 
and carry out the duties prescribed by the Secretary.
    ``(c) Deputy Maritime Administrator.--The Maritime Administration 
shall have a Deputy Maritime Administrator, who is appointed in the 
competitive service by the Secretary, after consultation with the

prescribed by the Administrator. The Deputy Administrator shall be 
Acting Administrator during the absence or disability of the

    ``(d) Duties and Powers Vested in Secretary.--All duties and powers 
of the Maritime Administration are vested in the Secretary.
    ``(e) Regional Offices.--The Maritime Administration shall have

            (1) publicly honoring and recognizing the young men and

        partnerships between military recruiters and high school 
        administrators and guidance counselors;

        should be formally recognized by the Office of the Secretary of 
        Defense and the various military service recruiting commands; 
        and
            (3) to the extent practicable, an appropriate level of 
        joint military service support should be provided at these

        participation, ceremonial unit involvement, musical support,

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

        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''.

                         Unwavering Loyalty Act

SEC. 6091. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Granting Recognition to 
Accomplished Talented Employees for Unwavering Loyalty Act'' or 
``GRATEFUL Act''.

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. 6093. VISA AVAILABILITY FOR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE IMMIGRANT VISA 
              PROGRAM.

    (a) In General.--Beginning in fiscal year 2024, subject to 
subsection (b), visas shall be made available to a special immigrant 
described in section 101(a)(27)(D) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(27)(D)) if a visa is not immediately available 
for issuance to the special immigrant under section 203(b)(4) of that 
Act (8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(4)).
    (b) Numerical Limitations.--
            (1) Fiscal year 2024.--For fiscal year 2024, not more than 
        3,500 visas shall be made available under subsection (a).
            (2) Subsequent fiscal years.--For fiscal year 2025 and each 
        fiscal year thereafter, not more than 3,000 visas shall be made 
        available under subsection (a).
    (c) Temporary Reduction in Diversity Visas.--Section 203(d)(2) of 
the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central America Relief Act (8 U.S.C. 1151 
note; Public Law 105-100) is amended--
            (1) by amending paragraph (2) to read as follows:
    ``(2) In no case shall the reduction under paragraph (1) for a 
fiscal year exceed the amount by which--
            ``(A) the sum of--
                    ``(i) one-half of the total number of individuals 
                described in subclauses (I), (II), (III), and (IV) of 
                section 309(c)(5)(C)(i) of the Illegal Immigration 
                Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 
                U.S.C. 1101 note; Public Law 104-208) who have adjusted 
                their status to that of aliens lawfully admitted for 
                permanent residence under section 202 of the Nicaraguan 
                Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (Public Law 
                105-100; 8 U.S.C. 1255 note) as of the end of the 
                previous fiscal year; and
                    ``(ii) the total number of individuals described in 
                section 101(a)(27)(D) of the Immigration and 
                Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(27)(D)) for whom 
                visas shall be made available for the applicable fiscal 
                year under section 1093(b) of the Granting Recognition 
                to Accomplished Talented Employees for Unwavering 
                Loyalty Act; exceeds
            ``(B) the total of the reductions in available visas under 
        this subsection for all previous fiscal years.''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following:
    ``(3)(A) Paragraph (1) shall not apply in a fiscal year following a 
fiscal year for which the total number of aliens described in 
subparagraph (B) is zero.
    ``(B) For a fiscal year, the total number of aliens described in 
this subparagraph is the total number of individuals described in 
section 101(a)(27)(D) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
1101(a)(27)(D)) who have been issued visas during the previous fiscal 
year under the Granting Recognition to Accomplished Talented Employees 
for Unwavering Loyalty Act.
    ``(C) Nothing in this paragraph may be construed--
            ``(i) to repeal, modify, or render permanently inapplicable 
        paragraph (1); or
            ``(ii) to prevent the offsetting of the number of visas 
        described in that paragraph for the purpose of providing visa 
        availability for aliens described in subparagraph (B).
    ``(4) In the event that the number of visas available for a fiscal 
year under section 201(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 
U.S.C. 1151(e)) is reduced to a number fewer than 50,000, not fewer 
than 3,000 visas shall be made available for individuals described in 
section 1093(a) of the Granting Recognition to Accomplished Talented 
Employees for Unwavering Loyalty Act.''.
    (d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section or the 
amendments made by this section may be construed to modify the number 
of visas available under section 203(b)(4) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(4)) to special immigrants described 
in section 101(a)(27)(D) of that Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(27)(D)).

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.

        Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands are vital 
        to international peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region;

        Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of

        successfully renegotiate and renew the Compacts of Free 
        Association with the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of 
        Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands; and
            (6) enacting legislation to approve amended Compacts of 
        Free Association with the Republic of Palau, the Federated 
        States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands 
        is the most important way for Congress to support United States 
        strategic partnerships with the 3 countries.

        Missile Technology Control Regime, the Wassenaar Arrangement, 
        the Australia Group, and the Nuclear Suppliers Group.
            (3) At the request of President George W. Bush, section 
        1206 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 
        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

                       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.

        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

                  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.

        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

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.
    (b) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Family togetherness.--The term ``family togetherness'' 
        means facilitating the placement of Foreign Service personnel 
        at the same United States diplomatic post when both spouses are 
        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.

        the public for use by employees, including the expected demand 
        for such space as well as the status of such rooms when there

         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.

                    (D) Increasing efficiencies across the Department 
                by incentivizing acquisition of enterprise data

                across bureaus and offices and within bureaus.
    (b) Implementation Plan.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the

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.--

                    (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 
        to the appropriate congressional committees a report containing 
        the findings of the study.

        conflict and conflict-induced food insecurity;
            (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 
        as a weapon of war to account.
    (b) Definitions.--In this paragraph:
            (1) Hunger as a weapon of war.--The term ``hunger as a

                food production and distribution, such as farmland, 
                markets, mills, food processing and storage facilities, 
                food stuffs, crops, livestock, agricultural assets, 
                waterways, water systems, drinking water facilities and 
                supplies, and irrigation networks;
                    (C) undue denial of humanitarian access and

              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.

        DIVISION G--UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA DISCLOSURE

SEC. 9001. SHORT TITLE.

    This division may be cited as the ``Unidentified Anomalous 
Phenomena Disclosure Act of 2023'' or the ``UAP Disclosure Act of 
2023''.

SEC. 9002. FINDINGS, DECLARATIONS, AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings and Declarations.--Congress finds and declares the 
following:
            (1) All Federal Government records related to unidentified 
        anomalous phenomena should be preserved and centralized for 
        historical and Federal Government purposes.
            (2) All Federal Government records concerning unidentified 
        anomalous phenomena should carry a presumption of immediate 
        disclosure and all records should be eventually disclosed to 
        enable the public to become fully informed about the history of 
        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.

        human manufacture.
            (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.

                        commercial industry, academic, and private 
                        sector aerospace platforms;
                            (iv) Federal, State, and local government, 
                        commercial industry, academic, and private 
                        sector ocean-surface and undersea vehicles; and
                            (v) known foreign systems.
            (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:

        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 
                accordance with section 2107 of title 44, United States 
                Code;
                    (B) charge fees for copying unidentified anomalous 
                phenomena records; and
                    (C) grant waivers of such fees pursuant to the 
                standards established by section 552(a)(4) of title 5, 
                United States Code.
            (2) Amount of fees.--The amount of a fee charged by the 
        head of an Executive agency pursuant to paragraph (1)(B) for 
        the copying of an unidentified anomalous phenomena record shall 
        be such amount as the head determines appropriate to cover the 
        costs incurred by the Executive agency in making and providing 
        such copy, except that in no case may the amount of the fee 
        charged exceed the actual expenses incurred by the Executive 
        agency in making and providing such copy.

SEC. 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

       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.
