     Intelligence Community Using Innovative Methodologies for the 
     Recruitment, Hiring and Retention of Ethnic and Cultural 
     Minorities and Women With the Diversity of Skills, Languages 
     and Expertise Reflective of the Current Mission.--The

     community women and minorities with diverse ethnic and 
     cultural backgrounds, skills, language proficiency, and 
     expertise.
       (b) Methods.--In carrying out the pilot project, the 
     Director shall employ methods such as advertising in foreign 
     language newspapers in the United States, site visits to 
     institutions with a high percentage of students who study 
     English as a second language, and other methods that are not 
     used by the Director under the DCI Diversity Strategic Plan 
     to increase diversity of officers and employees in the 
     intelligence community.
       (c) Duration of Project.--The Director shall carry out the 
     project under this section for a 3-year period.
       (d) Report.--Not later than 2 years after the date the

     The report shall include--
       (1) an assessment of the effectiveness of the project; and
       (2) recommendations on the continuation of the project as 
     well as for improving the effectiveness of the project in 
     meeting the goals of increasing the recruiting and hiring of 
     women and minorities within the intelligence community.
       (e) Diversity Plan.--(1) Not later than February 15, 2004, 
     the Director of Central Intelligence shall submit to Congress 
     a report which describes the plan of the Director, entitled 
     the ``DCI Diversity Strategic Plan'', and any subsequent 
     revision to that plan, to increase diversity of officers and 
     employees in the intelligence community, including the short- 
     and long-term goals of the plan. The report shall also 
     provide a detailed description of the progress that has been 
     made by each element of the intelligence community in 
     implementing the plan.
       (2) In implementing the plan, the Director shall 
     incorporate innovative methods for the recruitment and hiring 
     of women and minorities that the Director has determined to 
     be effective from the pilot project carried out under this 
     section.
       (f) Definition.--In this section, the term ``intelligence 
     community'' has the meaning given that term in section 3(4) 
     of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401(4))).

                   Amendment No. 6 Offered by Ms. Lee

  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The unfinished business is the demand for a 
recorded vote on amendment No. 6 offered by the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Lee) on which further proceedings were postponed and on 
which the noes prevailed by voice vote.
  The Clerk will redesignate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 6 offered by Ms. Lee:
       At the end of title III, add the following new section:

     SEC. 345. REPORT ON INTELLIGENCE SHARING WITH UNITED NATIONS 
                   WEAPONS INSPECTORS SEARCHING FOR WEAPONS OF 
                   MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ.

       (a) In General.--The Comptroller General of the United 
     States shall conduct a study to determine the extent to which 
     intelligence developed by the Department of Defense and by 
     the intelligence community with respect to weapons of mass 
     destruction obtained or developed by Iraq preceding Operation 
     Iraqi Freedom was made available to the United Nations 
     weapons inspectors and the quantity and quality of the 
     information that was provided (if any).
       (b) Specific Matter Studied.--The study shall provide for 
     an analysis of the sufficiency of the intelligence provided 
     by the Director of Central Intelligence to those weapons 
     inspectors, and whether the information was provided in a 
     timely manner and in a sufficient quantity and quality to 
     enable the inspectors to locate, visit, and conduct 
     investigations on all high and medium value suspected sites 
     of weapons of mass destruction.
       (c) Access to Information.--(1) Subject to paragraph (2), 
     the Comptroller General may secure directly from any agency 
     or department of the United States information necessary to 
     carry out the study under subsection (a).
       (2) The appropriate Federal agencies or departments shall 
     cooperate with the Comptroller General in expeditiously 
     providing appropriate security clearance to individuals 
     carrying out the study to the extent possible pursuant to 
     existing procedures and requirements, except that no person 
     shall be provided with access to classified information under 
     this section without the appropriate security clearances.
       (d) Report.--Not later than 12 months after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General shall submit 
     to Congress a report on the study conducted under subsection 
     (a). The report shall be submitted in unclassified form, but 
     may contain a classified annex.

                Announcement by the Chairman Pro Tempore

  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore (during the vote). Members are reminded that 
there are 2 minutes remaining in this vote.

                              {time}  1059

  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.

                              {time}  1100

  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore (Mrs. Biggert). The question is on the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended.
  The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended, 
was agreed to.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Shimkus) having assumed the chair, Mrs. Biggert, Chairman pro tempore 
of the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, reported 
that that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 
2417) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2004 for intelligence 
and intelligence-related activities of the United States Government, 
the Community Management Account, and the Central Intelligence Agency 
Retirement and Disability System, and for other purposes, pursuant to 
House Resolution 295, she reported the bill back to the House with an 
amendment adopted by the Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is 
ordered.
  Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment to the committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute adopted by the Committee of the 
Whole? If not, the question is on the amendment.
  The amendment was agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third 
reading of the bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was 
read the third time.
  (By unanimous consent, Mrs. Harman was allowed to speak out of 
order.)


                       Thanking Members and Staff

  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, now that we have completed debate on our 
intelligence authorization bill for 2004, I just wanted to thank our 
chairman who is graceful, collaborative and bipartisan and the members 
and staff on the majority side and to thank the strong team we have on 
the Democratic side and especially our staff. By name: Christine 
Healey, John Keefe, Marcel Lettre, Wyndee Parker, Beth Larson, Kirk 
McConnell, Bob Emmett and Ilene Romack; and also David Flanders of my 
personal staff for all the effort they put into yesterday's very 
thorough and, I thought, outstanding debate.
  (By unanimous consent, Mr. Goss was allowed to speak out of order.)


                       Thanking Members and Staff

  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, I too would like to congratulate my ranking 
member and the members of the staff on both sides of the aisle. 
Normally I would name all those staff. This year I am just going to 
point to one individual who really was the architect of the bill for 
the majority, put it together, did the hard work as he always does. He 
does the budget number and he understands the programs. His name is 
Mike Meermans. In addition to the spectacular work he did for us in a 
bipartisan and a thoroughly professional way, Mr. Meermans and his 
family had a sudden and significant illness in the family. We wish his 
family well and we wish his son Godspeed, full and complete recovery.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the passage of the bill.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further 
proceedings on this question will be postponed.

                          ____________________
