          INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2010

  Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed 
to the consideration of Calendar No. 120, S. 1494.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1494) to authorize appropriations for fiscal 
     year 2010 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.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, I rise today to speak about the 
Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2010, S. 1494, that the 
Senate has approved by unanimous consent.
  The legislation is the product of a bipartisan effort in the 
Intelligence Committee, which was reflected by the committee's 
unanimous vote of 15 to 0 on the bill. I thank Vice Chairman Bond for 
his efforts on the legislation and the full committee staff for their 
work.
  It has been 4 years since the Congress has passed and the President 
has signed an intelligence authorization act. This has meant that the 
law has not kept up with changes in the intelligence community and that 
Congress has not been able to require reforms and provide flexibilities 
that are sorely needed. I am pleased that the Senate has taken a major 
step toward enactment.
  Before summarizing some of the key provisions of this legislation, 
let me briefly describe the way in which it was written.
  The committee has worked with the Director of National Intelligence, 
DNI, ADM Dennis Blair, to identify areas where legislation is needed to 
better run and oversee the Nation's 16 intelligence agencies. Many of 
these provisions have been proposed and included in previous 
legislation reported out by the Intelligence Committee but have yet to 
be passed into law.
  At the request of the White House, we have separated issues of 
terrorist detention and interrogation from this bill and the committee 
intends to take up legislation on those issues separately. The 
committee has not changed its position from previous legislation on the 
need to have an effective and humane interrogation program that 
operates fully within the nation's laws and international commitments.
  The major themes of this bill are to strengthen the Director of 
National Intelligence to make sure that he has the management 
authorities and flexibilities needed to direct the intelligence 
community; insist upon stronger accountability and oversight mechanisms 
for intelligence activities, both within the executive branch and by 
the Congress; and to fund fully the intelligence community's share of 
the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and the continuing 
counterterrorism operations against al-Qaida and other terrorist 
organizations worldwide.
  There is also a classified annex to this bill, which lays out the 
authorized funding levels for the National Intelligence Program. The 
theme of the annex is to shift funds from intelligence activities that 
are less capable, lower priority, or not performing to those that will 
provide the Nation with better capabilities for intelligence 
collection, analysis, counterintelligence, and covert action.
  The details of the classified annex are necessarily secret, but all 
Members are welcome to review them at the committee's offices at any 
time.
  Let me describe some of the notable provisions in more detail.
  To add to the management authorities of the Director of National 
Intelligence, the bill gives the Director of National Intelligence 
greater flexibility in personnel matters, including extending the 
length of time that personnel may be detailed to an intelligence agency 
to 3 years from the current 1 year. It also provides the Director, 
working with individual intelligence agencies, to shift or hire 
personnel by up to 5 percent above authorized personnel levels if 
intelligence requirements demand doing so. The bill authorizes the DNI 
to conduct accountability reviews of personnel and elements within the 
intelligence community, further clarifying that the Director is the 
senior official in the intelligence community. It seeks to prevent 
repetitions of information sharing problems by enabling the DNI to 
purchase necessary equipment or technology to improve information 
sharing with governmental departments or agencies regardless of whether 
they are part of the intelligence community. The bill also requires the 
intelligence community to continue putting in place the information 
technology necessary to assure information flows between its agencies.
  The committee has longstanding concerns with the way the intelligence 
community has briefed, or has failed to brief, the congressional 
Intelligence Committees on all intelligence activities and covert 
actions. Two major controversies, over CIA detention and interrogation 
and over the warrantless surveillance program of the National Security 
Agency, were both briefed only to the chairman and vice chairman of the 
Senate Intelligence Committee. The rest of the committee's membership 
was unaware of these programs for years.
  The bill strengthens the statutory requirements to keep the 
congressional intelligence committees ``fully and currently informed'' 
of intelligence activities and covert actions. The legislation makes 
clear that there is no exception to the obligation to brief Congress on 
intelligence activities and covert actions; requires that notifications 
include a description of the legal authority on which activities are 
undertaken; and requires that all committee members be provided with 
the broad outlines--the ``main features''--of intelligence programs in 
those instances where the sensitive operational details are provided 
only to a limited number of Senators.
  In addition to ensuring that notifications to the Congress are 
conducted, the bill includes a number of additional provisions intended 
to strengthen intelligence oversight. These include creating an 
independent inspector general, confirmed by the Senate, to help the DNI 
oversee the intelligence community and strengthening the inspectors 
general of the National Security Agency, NSA, Defense Intelligence 
Agency, DIA, National Reconnaissance Office, NRO, and National 
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, NGA, by listing them

[[Page S9448]]

under the Inspector General Act of 1978.
  They include requiring Senate confirmation for the Directors of the 
National Security Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, the 
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and for the Deputy Director of 
the CIA. For several years, the Intelligence Committee has viewed these 
positions as holding substantial budgetary and policy responsibilities.
  They also include improving the intelligence community's ability to 
budget, manage finances, and run program acquisitions. I am unable to 
state publicly why these provisions are so important, but it is fair to 
say that intelligence agencies have had major failures in this regard. 
In this bill, we have sought to apply best practices from other parts 
of the government to intelligence community management and acquisitions 
with the goal of more efficiently and effectively using taxpayer 
dollars to fund intelligence activities.
  Finally, while I am unable to provide specifics due to reasons of 
classification, let me highlight five other parts of the bill and its 
classified annex that merit recognition.
  Satellites. To address a problem created by years of mismanagement 
and acquisition failures, the annex to this bill recommends a more 
capable and more affordable imagery satellite architecture that 
addresses the requirements of both our civilian policymakers and 
military warfighters.
  Languages. As our committee report notes, the intelligence 
community's language capabilities are abysmal. This bill authorizes 
increased funding to significantly improve language proficiencies. 
Rather than funding separate initiatives across the various 
intelligence agencies, this funding is provided to the Director of 
National Intelligence for allocation and coordination to maximize 
effectiveness.
  Research and Development. The U.S. intelligence community leads the 
world in the technical collection of intelligence. This success is the 
result of decades of investment in research and development. The annex 
to this bill recommends increases in investment on research and 
development to return to the level of funding necessary to maintain the 
nation's technological edge.
  Cybersecurity. The committee has held numerous hearings with the 
Acting Senior Director for Cybersecurity in the National Security 
Council, the Director of the National Security Agency, and the 
committee's Technical Advisory Group. I believe strongly that cyber 
attack and espionage by adversary nations and nonstate actors pose a 
grave threat to our Nation's national and economic security. I also 
believe, however, that initiatives underway to provide for security of 
the government's cyber networks need to be implemented and overseen 
carefully to ensure that privacy rights are upheld.
  For this reason, the bill includes a provision that establishes a 
framework for executive and congressional oversight for cybersecurity. 
Specifically, it requires reporting to Congress on the legal 
authorities for cyber-security programs, privacy assessments, and 
details of the concept of operations for these activities. The 
provision also requires thorough auditing of cyber-security programs by 
the relevant inspectors general, especially to determine compliance 
with law and privacy rights. Finally, the provision authorizes the 
detail of cyber experts from the intelligence community to the 
Department of Homeland Security and FBI to assist in their roles in 
cyber defense and law enforcement. The annex to the bill also adjusts 
funding levels to ensure that the President's request for cyber-
security activities are appropriately funded and are proceeding under 
clear legal and policy guidance.
  Report on compliance with laws related to detention and 
interrogation. As I noted, the administration and our committee 
continue to conduct reviews of detention and interrogation practices 
begun after September 11, 2001. This bill requires the DNI to report on 
how the intelligence community complies with all laws, international 
obligations, and executive orders related to the detention and 
interrogation of persons under their control.
  Following the reporting of our bill on July 22, we have worked with 
three committees of the Senate to resolve several questions.
  We have worked with the Armed Services Committee to develop a Senate 
resolution that will govern the sequence of referral, between that 
committee and the Intelligence Committee, of nominations for Director 
of the National Security Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, 
and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. That resolution has 
the support of Chairman Levin and Ranking Member McCain of the Armed 
Services Committee, as well as having my and Vice Chairman Bond's 
support. I will address the proposed resolution in a separate colloquy 
today with Chairman Levin.
  We have worked with Ranking Member Cochran of the Appropriations 
Committee on an agreement to strike, in a managers' amendment, section 
341 of the bill that would have expressed the sense of the Senate on an 
Appropriations Subcommittee on Intelligence. That internal Senate 
matter will continue to be discussed within the Senate but will not be 
a part of this bill.
  We have worked with Chairman Leahy of the Judiciary Committee to 
resolve several matters. The managers' amendment that Vice Chairman 
Bond and I have offered amends three provisions which require the 
submission of reports on various matters. The purpose of the amendments 
to sections 336, 407, and 445 is to ensure that the Judiciary Committee 
receives reports on matters within its jurisdiction. In consultation 
with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the managers' 
amendment amends section 411 on a FOIA operational file exemption to 
state more precisely the intent of the provision. The managers' 
amendment also strikes section 352 that establishes a FOIA exemption 
for terrorist identity information that is disseminated for terrorist 
screening purposes. As a comparable provision has been reported in the 
House, we expect that the provision will be the subject of further 
consideration at conference.
  Mr. President, the vice chairman and I have worked hard to produce 
bipartisan legislation that provides the intelligence community with 
the tools and resources needed to keep the Nation safe and to inform 
decisionmakers. This bill does just that. It strikes a balance between 
allowing intelligence agencies the latitude to conduct their operations 
while ensuring their legality and efficiency.
  I very much appreciate the Senate's approval of this legislation and 
look forward to bringing a conference report to the Senate as soon as 
possible.
  Mr. BOND. Mr. President, for too many years, Congress has failed to 
pass an intelligence authorization bill that could be signed into law. 
We came close once, only to have our efforts derailed by a problematic 
interrogation provision. We have solved that problem this year, and now 
I believe we finally have a product that we can move forward with the 
hope that it will soon be signed into law.
  The intelligence authorization bill before us will give the 
intelligence community the flexibility and authorities it needs to 
function effectively and will ensure appropriate intelligence oversight 
by this committee.
  Over the past several months, we have worked closely with the 
administration and other committees to address their concerns over 
various provisions. Of course, some concerns were easier to resolve 
than others. But we are now at a point that I believe we can pass this 
bill through the Senate.
  I have often said that in creating the Director of National 
Intelligence, we gave him an awful lot of responsibility without all 
the authority he needed. Well, our bill attempts to address that 
problem by giving the DNI clearer authority and greater flexibility in 
overseeing the intelligence community.
  There are also a number of provisions in this bill that I believe are 
essential for promoting good government. Too often, we have seen 
programs or acquisitions of major systems balloon in cost and decrease 
in performance. That is unacceptable. We are in difficult economic 
times and the taxpayers are spending substantial sums of money to 
ensure that the intelligence community has the tools it needs to keep 
us safe. If we don't demand accountability for how these tools are 
operated or created, then we are failing the taxpayers, and we are 
failing the intelligence community.

[[Page S9449]]

  So, for the past several years, I have sponsored amendments that 
require the intelligence community to perform vulnerability assessments 
of major systems and to keep track of excessive cost growth of major 
systems. This latter provision is modeled on the Nunn-McCurdy provision 
which has guided Defense Department acquisitions for years. I am happy 
to say that these provisions are part of this year's bill too. I 
believe that these, and other good-government provisions, will 
encourage earlier identification and solving of problems relating to 
the acquisition of major systems. Too often, such problems have not 
been identified until exorbitant sums of money have been spent--and, 
unfortunately, at that point, there is often reluctance to cancel the 
project.
  Similarly, the intelligence community must get a handle on its 
personnel levels. Now, I do not share the belief that the Office of the 
Director of National Intelligence is too large; in fact, I think we 
need to make sure that our National Counterterrorism Center and 
National Counterproliferation Center have more resources, not less. 
However, I am concerned about the number of contractors used by the 
intelligence community to perform functions better left to government 
employees. There are some jobs that demand the use of contractors--for 
example, certain technical jobs or short-term functions--but too often, 
the quick fix is just to hire contractors, not long-term support. So, 
our bill includes a provision calling for annual personnel level 
assessments for the intelligence community. These assessments will 
ensure that, before more people are brought in, there are adequate 
resources to support them and enough work to keep them busy.
  Finally, the CIA's interrogation program has been a hot topic over 
the past few months. This spring, the administration declassified 
several Office of Legal Counsel opinions pertaining to the program but 
redacted much of the information concerning its effectiveness. I am 
generally opposed to releasing information about some of our most 
sensitive intelligence sources and methods, but in this case, I believe 
the record needed to be set straight. So I sponsored an amendment, that 
was accepted by the committee, requiring the Director of the CIA to 
release an unclassified summary of several memos that discuss the 
effectiveness of the interrogation program. The American people may 
decide for themselves whether or not the CIA's program was effective in 
preventing terrorist attacks on our nation and our allies.
  These are just a few of the provisions in this bill that I believe 
are important for the success of our intelligence collection efforts 
and equally important for ensuring sound oversight by the Intelligence 
Committee.
  I commend Senator Feinstein for her leadership in shepherding this 
bill through the committee and the Senate. I appreciated her 
willingness to work through the many issues raised throughout this 
process.
  I ask my colleagues to support this bill so that we can get back on 
track with performing effective intelligence oversight.


               Clarifying Responsibilities of Committees

  Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, section 432 of S. 1494, the 
Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal year 2010 that is before the 
Senate today, provides that the Directors of the National Security 
Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the National 
Reconnaissance Office shall be appointed by the President with the 
advice and consent of the Senate. For several years, the Select 
Committee on Intelligence has been seeking the enactment of legislation 
to provide for Senate confirmation of these important positions. The 
Senate has previously endorsed this effort by including this 
requirement in the proposed Intelligence Authorization for Fiscal Year 
2008.
  It is our strong hope that the time has come to enact this 
fundamental measure to ensure adequate oversight of these three 
agencies whose spending constitutes a significant portion of the entire 
intelligence budget. In preparation for that, my colleague at the 
Intelligence Committee, our vice chairman Kit Bond, and I have worked 
with the leadership of the Armed Services Committee, Chairman Carl 
Levin and Ranking Member John McCain, to settle on the process by which 
our two committees will assist the Senate in a careful examination of 
the qualifications of nominees to head these agencies. The insights of 
both committees is important in that process because the three entities 
are housed in the Department of Defense and perform significant 
responsibilities there while also being major components of the 
intelligence community.
  The resolution that we have prepared recognizes the contribution that 
each of our committees should make to a thorough and timely process. It 
provides that if the nominee is an Active-Duty military officer, the 
confirmation process will begin in the Armed Services Committee and, if 
reported, the nomination will be sequentially referred to the 
Intelligence Committee for a prescribed period of time; namely, 30 days 
plus an additional 5 days if the 30-day period expires when the Senate 
is in recess. If the nominee is a civilian, the confirmation process 
will begin in the Intelligence Committee with a sequential referral to 
the Armed Services Committee under those same time limits. To ensure 
that the sequential referral does not delay completion of the committee 
part of the nomination process, the resolution provides for the 
automatic discharge of the nominations from the second committee if it 
has not reported with the prescribed period of time.
  This referral system recognizes the equities of each committee and 
will ensure that the Senate receives the benefit of the recommendations 
made by the two committees with the expertise necessary to advise the 
Senate about the qualifications of nominees to head these three 
important agencies.
  Although we are not formally introducing the resolution at this time, 
Vice Chairman Bond joins me in this public commitment to the Senate 
that we will ask our committee to report the resolution in time for 
consideration and adoption by the Senate in conjunction with a 
conference report on the fiscal year 2010 Intelligence authorization.
  I ask unanimous consent that the full text of the resolution, showing 
its cosponsorship by myself, Senator Levin, Senator Bond, and Senator 
McCain, be printed in the Record at the conclusion of the colloquy.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  [See Exhibit 1.]
  Mrs. FEINSTEIN. I should note for the Senate that while the full text 
of the amendment includes language pertinent to other nominations, such 
as the Assistant Attorney General for National Security, the 
substantive change to section 17 of S. Res. 400 only bears on the 
sequence of responsibilities between the Armed Services and 
Intelligence Committees.
  I now turn to Senator Levin for his remarks.
  Mr. LEVIN. I would like to express my support for the proposed 
resolution which I believe will enable both of our committees to 
fulfill their responsibilities for ensuring that the nominations to 
head these important intelligence elements within the Department of 
Defense are thoroughly considered. I thank my distinguished colleague 
on the Armed Services Committee, our ranking member, Senator McCain, 
and our colleagues on the Intelligence Committee for reaching this 
agreement.

  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, today the Senate will pass the amended 
Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2010, S.1494. I 
appreciate the commitment of Senator Feinstein, the chair of the Senate 
Select Committee on Intelligence, to work with me to strengthen this 
important legislation. The bill the Senate has approved recognizes the 
shared jurisdiction of the Committee on the Judiciary, and the Select 
Committee on Intelligence, in several legislative areas.
  The first opportunity to review this legislation arose on August 5, 
shortly before the Senate was scheduled to recess, and in the midst of 
the debate on the confirmation of Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor. At 
that time, I recognized several provisions in the bill that fall under 
the jurisdiction of the Judiciary Committee, as well as issues about 
which the committee shares an interest with the Select Committee on 
Intelligence. Since that time, Senator Feinstein and I, as well as our 
staffs, have engaged in serious negotiations concerning these 
provisions. We negotiated agreements regarding exemptions to the 
Freedom of Information Act, FOIA, as well as numerous reporting 
requirements, such as a significant, new requirement for the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation, FBI, an agency clearly under the jurisdiction 
of the Judiciary Committee, and an important new cybersecurity 
oversight provision.
  The amendment to the intelligence authorization bill agreed to today 
identifies the Judiciary Committee as a recipient of relevant reporting 
provisions, narrows the operational files FOIA exemption for 
information provided by intelligence agencies to the Office of the 
Director of National Intelligence, ODNI, and strikes a FOIA (b)(3) 
exemption for terrorist identity information. Senator Feinstein has 
told me she is also committed to ensuring that the Judiciary Committee 
will receive reports required by the bill's section 340, cybersecurity 
oversight. I appreciate Senator Feinstein's support for these 
improvements.
  The intelligence authorization bill includes several reporting 
requirements that involve areas of long-standing interest and 
jurisdiction of the Judiciary Committee. The amended bill ensures that 
the Judiciary Committee is a recipient of those reports. Section 336 of 
the bill directs the Director of National Intelligence to provide a 
comprehensive report on all measures taken by the Office of the 
Director of National Intelligence and by elements of the intelligence 
community to comply with the provisions of applicable law, 
international obligations, and executive orders relating to the 
detention or interrogation activities of the intelligence community. 
These include compliance with the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005; the 
Military Commissions Act of 2006; common Article 3 of the Geneva 
Conventions; the Convention Against Torture; Executive Order 13492, 
relating to lawful interrogations; and Executive Order No. 13493, 
relating to detention policy options.
  The amendment to the intelligence authorization bill modifies section 
336 to ensure that to the extent that the report addresses an element 
of the intelligence community within the Department of Justice, it 
shall be submitted, along with associated material, to the Judiciary 
Committees of the House and Senate.
  I fought for years to obtain information about the Bush 
administration's detention and interrogation policies and practices, 
and the legal advice from that administration authorizing those 
policies and practices. The last administration refused to give this 
information to Congress, instead issuing secret legal advice that 
misconstrued our laws and international obligations with regard to the 
treatment of people in our custody. Years later we found out that the 
administration had sanctioned cruel interrogation techniques, including 
torture. It is imperative that the Judiciary Committee be fully 
informed of the extent to which the government is complying with our 
laws and international treaties relating to detention and interrogation 
in order to be able to conduct proper oversight and ensure that our 
government cannot shield policies that authorize practices in violation 
of our laws. The Judiciary Committee is an important partner in this 
oversight.
  Section 407 of the bill establishes a new office of inspector general 
of the intelligence community to conduct independent investigations, 
inspections, audits and reviews on programs and activities conducted 
under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence. Under 
this new authority, the inspector general is required to submit a 
semiannual report to the Director of National Intelligence summarizing 
its activities. The amendment incorporated into S.1494 modifies the 
reporting provision to require the inspector general to submit reports 
that focus on Government officials to the committees of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives with jurisdiction over the department that 
official represents.
  Section 407 of the bill creates an entirely new inspector general 
with significant authority and responsibility in the intelligence 
community. That authority will implicate agencies within the 
jurisdiction of the Judiciary Committee, including the Department of 
Justice and components of the Department of Homeland Security. I 
believe this modification to the bill provides an important recognition 
of the Judiciary Committee's need to be involved in the investigations 
and activities of this new inspector general.
  Another significant new provision is section 445 of the bill, report 
and assessment on transformation of the intelligence capabilities of 
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which creates a broad new 
reporting requirement for the FBI. The Judiciary Committee has always 
had primary oversight over the FBI. As the FBI takes on more 
responsibility in the areas of intelligence and national security, its 
policies and practices in these areas must be subject to the oversight 
of Congress. The Intelligence Committees have particular expertise that 
make them an important partner in this oversight. However, it is the 
Judiciary Committee that has the primary legislative and oversight 
responsibilities over the FBI.
  I am very pleased that the amendment adopted today contains several

[[Page S9451]]

important improvements that I recommended to strengthen FOIA. I am 
particularly pleased that the bill, as amended, deletes a broad and 
unnecessary exemption to FOIA's disclosure requirements for terrorist 
identity information.
  No one would quibble with the notion that our government can--and 
should--keep some information secret to protect our national security. 
But, in the case of terrorist identity information, our government has 
successfully withheld this sensitive information under the existing 
FOIA exemptions for classified and law enforcement information. In 
addition, the many instances of mistaken identities and other errors on 
terrorist watchlists and ``no-fly'' lists make it clear that FOIA can 
be a valuable tool to help innocent Americans redress and correct 
mistakes on these lists.
  Lastly, the revised bill also narrows the exemption to FOIA's search 
requirements for operational files information that the Nation's 
intelligence agencies share with the ODNI. The bill now makes it clear 
that operational files that are already exempt from these search 
requirements retain this exemption under circumstances where the files 
are disseminated to the ODNI. This carefully crafted compromise will 
help ensure both effective information sharing among our intelligence 
agencies and the free flow of information to the American public.
  I believe the amendment strengthens this legislation by recognizing 
the value and significance of the shared jurisdiction in many areas of 
national security between the Judiciary and Intelligence Committees. I 
appreciate Senator Feinstein's cooperation in adopting these 
improvements. In a letter sent to me today, Senator Feinstein has also 
committed to continuing to work with the Judiciary Committee in the 
area of cyber matters. I will ask to have her letter printed in the 
Record.
  The agreement to proceed with the intelligence authorization bill 
today includes a commitment to ensure that the Judiciary Committee 
receives reports required by the bill's section 340, cybersecurity 
oversight. The Judiciary Committee has long engaged in oversight and 
legislative activity regarding cyber threats and cybersecurity. Senator 
Feinstein and I have worked together in the Judiciary Committee for 
many years on these issues, and we both recognize the shared 
jurisdiction and responsibilities of the Judiciary and Intelligence 
Committees with regard to oversight of cyber matters and cybersecurity.
  As Senator Feinstein has described it, section 340 of the bill is 
intended to provide a preliminary framework for executive and 
congressional oversight of cybersecurity programs, as defined in the 
section, to ensure that these programs are consistent with legal 
authorities, preserve reasonable expectations of privacy, and are 
subject to independent audit and review. Section 340 of the bill 
creates several reporting requirements with regard to the executive and 
congressional oversight of cybersecurity programs. These include 
Presidential notifications to Congress, reports to Congress and the 
President from the head of a department or agency with responsibility 
for cybersecurity programs, in conjunction with the inspector general 
of that department or agency, and a joint report to Congress and the 
President from the inspector general of the Department of Homeland 
Security and the inspector general of the intelligence community on the 
status of the sharing of cyber threat information within one year. I 
look forward to continuing to work with Senator Feinstein in the 
Judiciary Committee and in the Senate to ensure strong oversight and 
legislation with regard to cyber matters.
  I am pleased the Senate today will pass the amended Intelligence 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. The progress that Senator 
Feinstein and I have made to improve this bill demonstrates the success 
we can have when we work together constructively.
  Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent to have the letter to which I 
referred printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                                      U.S. Senate,


                             Select Committee on Intelligence,

                               Washington, DC, September 15, 2009.
     Hon. Patrick Leahy,
     Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Chairman Leahy: As you know, our staffs have been in 
     discussions since the beginning of recess over various 
     provisions of S. 1494, the Intelligence Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2010, ordered reported from the Committee on July 
     22, 2009. Among the provisions at issue is Section 340, 
     Cybersecurity Oversight.
       Section 340 is intended to provide a preliminary framework 
     for executive and congressional oversight of cybersecurity 
     programs, as defined in the section, to ensure that these 
     programs are consistent with legal authorities, preserve 
     reasonable expectations of privacy, and are subject to 
     independent audit and review.
       Section 340 contains several reporting requirements. One 
     requires the President to provide certain notifications to 
     Congress. In addition, the head of a department or agency 
     with responsibility for cybersecurity programs, in 
     conjunction with the inspector general of that department or 
     agency, is to submit to Congress and the President periodic 
     reports on the program. Finally, the Inspector General of the 
     Department of Homeland Security and the Inspector General of 
     the Intelligence Community are jointly to submit a report to 
     Congress and the President on the status of the sharing of 
     cyber threat information within one year.
       Under the provision as reported, notifications and reports 
     under the section are to be submitted ``to the Congress.'' 
     Vice Chairman Bond and I have consulted with the Senate 
     parliamentarian to convey our recommendations for how 
     referrals of notifications and reports under the section 
     should be made.
       As we have discussed before, cybersecurity is a matter of 
     interest to many of the committees of the Senate. Of note is 
     the longstanding interest in, and jurisdiction over, cyber 
     matters by the Judiciary Committee. This includes but is not 
     necessarily limited to the cybersecurity of the Justice 
     Department and other departments and agencies under the 
     Committee's jurisdiction, privacy interests of the American 
     people, and legal dimensions of the government's cyber 
     activities. Given the Judiciary Committee's role in these 
     matters and the expectation that reports under Section 340 
     will touch on one or more of the Committee's areas of 
     jurisdiction, it is my strong belief that documents provided 
     to the Congress should be provided to the Judiciary 
     Committee.
       In addition, should the Intelligence Committee receive 
     reports under this section that are within the jurisdiction 
     of the Judiciary Committee but that are not provided to the 
     Judiciary Committee, I will ensure that access to those 
     reports is provided to Judiciary Committee members and staff 
     as appropriate.
       Thank you for your cooperation over this issue, and other 
     provisions of the intelligence legislation.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Dianne Feinstein,
                                                         Chairman.

  Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Feinstein-
Bond amendment, which is at the desk, be considered and agreed to and 
that the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, that the bill as 
amended be read a third time, passed, that the motion to reconsider be 
laid upon the table, and that any statements be printed at the 
appropriate place in the Record as if read with the above occurring 
without intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The amendment (No. 2422) was agreed to.
  (The text of the amendment is printed in today's Record under ``Text 
of Amendments.'')
  The bill (S. 1494), as amended, was read the third time and passed,

     of Management and Budget, grant authority to fix the rate of 
     basic pay for 1 or more positions within the intelligence

     subsection and any conditions established by the Director of 
     National Intelligence when granting such authority.

     fall under the responsibilities of the Office of Personnel 
     Management under statute or executive order, in coordination

     improve the management and performance of the intelligence 
     community; and
       ``(B) submits to the congressional intelligence committees, 
     not later than 60 days before such authority is to take 
     effect, notice of the adoption of such authority by such 
     element or elements, including the authority to be so 
     adopted, and an estimate of the costs associated with the 
     adoption of such authority.
       ``(2) To the extent that an existing compensation authority

     employees in an equivalent category or in an equivalent 
     situation.

     means authority involving basic pay (including position 
     classification), premium pay, awards, bonuses, incentives,

[[Page S9455]]

     submitted to Congress by the President under section 1105 of 
     title 31, United States Code.
       (c) Table of Contents Amendment.--The table of contents in 
     the first section of the National Security Act of 1947 is 
     amended by inserting after the item relating to section 506A 
     the following new item:

``Sec. 506B. Annual personnel levels assessment for the intelligence 
              community.''.

     SEC. 306. TEMPORARY PERSONNEL AUTHORIZATIONS FOR CRITICAL 
                   LANGUAGE TRAINING.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In 2009, eight years after the terrorist attacks of 
     September 11, 2001, the intelligence community continues to 
     lack an adequate supply of personnel trained in critical 
     foreign languages.
       (2) A number of elements of the intelligence community are 
     attempting to address that lack of supply by recruiting 
     applicants who can speak, read, and understand critical 
     foreign languages.
       (3) Leaders in the intelligence community have recognized 
     that improved recruiting practices are only a partial 
     solution and that improved language training for current 
     intelligence community employees is also necessary.
       (4) While language education and instruction provides long-
     term benefits for both intelligence agencies and individual 
     employees, it has short-term costs for supervisors whose 
     staff are absent due to language training and could provide 
     supervisors with an incentive to resist allowing individual 
     employees to pursue language training.
       (5) If the head of an element of the intelligence community 
     was able to increase the number of personnel at that element 
     during the period that an employee is participating in 
     language training, that element would not have to sacrifice 
     short-term priorities to address language training needs.
       (6) The Director of National Intelligence is uniquely 
     situated to evaluate language training needs across the 
     intelligence community and assess whether that training would 
     be enhanced if elements of the intelligence community were 
     given temporary additional personnel authorizations.
       (7) The intelligence community has a difficult time 
     finding, training, and providing security clearances to 
     native foreign language speakers who are able to serve as 
     translators and it would be beneficial if all elements of the 
     intelligence community were able to harness the capabilities 
     of these individuals.
       (8) The Director of National Intelligence is uniquely 
     situated to identify translators within the intelligence 
     community and provide for their temporary transfer from one 
     element of the intelligence community to another element.
       (b) Temporary Personnel Authorizations.--
       (1) Authorized additional ftes.--In addition to the number 
     of full-time equivalent positions authorized for the Office 
     of the Director of National Intelligence for a fiscal year, 
     there is authorized for such Office for each fiscal year an 
     additional 100 full-time equivalent positions that may be 
     utilized only for the purposes described in paragraph (2).
       (2) Purposes.--The Director of National Intelligence may 
     use a full-time equivalent position authorized under 
     paragraph (1) only for the purposes of providing a temporary 
     transfer of personnel made pursuant to the authority in 
     section 102A(e)(2) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 
     U.S.C. 403-1(e)(2)) to an element of the intelligence 
     community to enable such element to increase its total 
     authorized number of personnel, on a temporary basis--
       (A) during a period in which a permanent employee of such 
     element is absent to participate in critical language 
     training; or
       (B) to accept a permanent employee of another element of 
     the intelligence community to provide language-capable 
     services a temporary basis.
       (c) Inapplicability of Other Law.--Subparagraph (B) of 
     section 102A(e)(2) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 
     U.S.C. 403-1(e)(2)) shall not apply to a transfer of 
     personnel authorizations made under this section.
       (d) Reporting Requirements.--
       (1) Report to the director of national intelligence.--An 
     element of the intelligence community that receives a 
     temporary transfer of personnel authorized under subsection 
     (b) shall submit to the Director of National Intelligence a 
     report on such transfer that includes the length of time of 
     the temporary transfer and which critical language need of 
     such element was fulfilled or partially fulfilled by the 
     transfer.
       (2) Annual report to congress.--The Director of National 
     Intelligence shall submit to the congressional intelligence 
     committees an annual report on this section. Each such report 
     shall include a description of--
       (A) the number of transfers of personnel made by the 
     Director pursuant to subsection (b), disaggregated by each 
     element of the intelligence community;
       (B) the critical language that needs were fulfilled or 
     partially fulfilled through the use of such transfers; and
       (C) the cost to carry out subsection (b).

     SEC. 603. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Accurate, timely, and comprehensive foreign 
     intelligence and information are critical to the national 
     security of United States and the furtherance of the foreign 
     policy goals of the United States.
       (2) It is in the national security and foreign policy 
     interest of the United States to ensure the global deployment 
     of personnel of the Government of the United States who are 
     responsible for collecting and reporting foreign intelligence 
     and information, including personnel from the intelligence 
     community, the Department of State, and other agencies and 
     departments of the Government of the United States, and that 
     adequate resources are committed to effect such collection 
     and reporting.
       (3) The 2005 National Intelligence Strategy and the 2006 
     Annual Report of the United States Intelligence Community 
     identified 5 major missions of the intelligence community to 
     support the national security requirements of the United 
     States, the first 2 of which, defeating terrorism and 
     preventing and countering the spread of weapons of mass 
     destruction, are global and transnational in nature.
       (4) The third major mission identified by the 2005 National 
     Intelligence Strategy and the 2006 Annual Report, bolstering 
     the growth of democracy and sustaining peaceful democratic 
     states, requires a global commitment of collection, 
     reporting, and analytical capabilities.
       (5) The 2005 National Intelligence Strategy and the 2006 
     Annual Report identify as a major mission the need to 
     ``anticipate developments of strategic concern and identify 
     opportunities as well as vulnerabilities for decision 
     makers''.
       (6) The 2006 Annual Report provides the following:
       (A) ``In a world in which developments in distant reaches 
     of the globe can quickly affect American citizens and 
     interests at home and abroad, the Intelligence Community must 
     alert policy makers to problems before they escalate and 
     provide insights into their causes and effects. Analysis must 
     do more than just describe what is happening and why; it must 
     identify a range of opportunities for (and likely 
     consequences of) diplomatic, military, law enforcement, 
     economic, financial, or homeland security action. To support 
     policymakers, the Intelligence Community should develop, 
     sustain, and maintain access to expertise on every region, 
     every transnational security issue, and every threat to the 
     American people.''.
       (B) ``We still need to re-balance, integrate, and optimize 
     collection capabilities to meet current and future customer 
     and analytic priorities. Collection is . . . what gives the 
     [Intelligence Community] its `competitive advantage' in 
     protecting the United States and its interests.''.
       (C) ``One challenge to improving the coverage of emerging 
     and strategic issues across the Intelligence Community has 
     been the diversion of resources to current crisis support . . 
     .''.
       (D) ``Collection against terrorists in places like Iraq and 
     Afghanistan took a substantial share of the [Intelligence 
     Community's] resources and efforts in FY 2006.''.
       (E) ``With so many [Intelligence Community] resources 
     dedicated to the War on Terror and WMD programs in closed 
     regimes, the [Intelligence] Community's collection efforts 
     still have to devote significant attention to potential or 
     emerging threats of strategic consequence.''.
       (7) On January 23, 2007, the Deputy Director of National 
     Intelligence for Collection testified to the Select Committee 
     on Intelligence of the Senate that there is a ``need to get 
     the Intelligence Community back to what I grew up calling 
     global reach'', stating that ``we don't have that today''. 
     She further testified that ``our challenge is . . . with 
     [Congress] help [to get back] to a place where we can do 
     global reach, and pay attention to places that we are not.''.
       (8) On February 14, 2008, the Director of National 
     Intelligence testified to the Select Committee on 
     Intelligence of the Senate that ``certainly current crisis 
     support takes a disproportionate share'' of intelligence 
     resources over emerging and strategic issues.
       (9) In responses to questions posed by the Select Committee 
     on Intelligence of the Senate in advance of the February 5, 
     2009 hearing on the nomination of Leon Panetta to be Director 
     of the Central Intelligence Agency, Mr. Panetta stated that 
     ``I am also concerned that we have not devoted sufficient 
     resources to a broader set of national intelligence 
     challenges - such as Russia, China, the global economic 
     downturn, as well as unstable and weak governments in places 
     such as Africa and Latin America.''.
       (10) On February 12, 2009, the Director of National 
     Intelligence testified to the Select Committee on 
     Intelligence of the Senate that ``I'd say the most 
     significant gaps are the areas that are not traditional state 
     threats, that we have not figured out the right way to 
     collect information and we have not grown the analysts to do 
     it. . .. We're not as good with non-state actors.''.
       (11) On March 26, 2009, the Director of National 
     Intelligence stated that ``We re-evaluate that National 
     Intelligence Priority Framework formally ever six months and 
     informally, as we have. And its quite remarkable, if you - 
     you know those time-lapse pictures where things change? If 
     you showed a time-lapse picture of that National Intelligence 
     Priority Framework, you'd see, sort of, colors shifting over 
     time as things came up, in terms of their threat or in terms 
     of an opportunity that they - so I just, I think it's a 
     mistake to tie us down to, this is my important priority. 
     There are enduring things we have to spend a lot of time on 
     because you can't instantly generate intelligence about a 
     country that's very good at keeping its secrets that you know 
     is going to be a factor for a long time. And we have to work 
     on those - we have to work on those every time. We have to 
     keep an excellent baseline understanding of what's going on 
     in the world, but then we need to be able to flex.''.
       (12) The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the 
     United States (hereinafter referred to as the ``9/11 
     Commission'') reported that ``To find sanctuary, terrorist 
     organizations have fled to some of the least governed, most 
     lawless places in the world. The intelligence community has 
     prepared a world map that highlights possible terrorist 
     havens, using no secret intelligence - just indicating areas 
     that combine rugged terrain, weak governance, room to hide or 
     receive supplies, and low population density with a town or 
     city near enough to allow necessary interaction with the 
     outside world. Large areas scattered around the world meet 
     these criteria.''.
       (13) The 9/11 Commission recommended that the ``U.S. 
     government must identify and prioritize actual or potential 
     terrorist sanctuaries. For each, it should have a realistic 
     strategy to keep possible terrorists insecure and on the run, 
     using all elements of national power. We should reach out, 
     listen to,

[[Page S9477]]

     and work with other countries that can help.''.
       (14) On May 6, 2008, the Acting Director of the National 
     Counterterrorism Center testified to the Select Committee on 
     Intelligence of the Senate that ``I wish I had more resources 
     to dedicate to longer-term threats, absolutely,'' that ``much 
     of the information about the instability that can lead to 
     safe havens or ideological radicalization comes not from 
     covert collection but from open collection, best done by 
     Foreign Service officers,'' and that there should be ways to 
     direct resources toward whoever is best positioned to learn 
     about safe-haven conditions.
       (15) On November 1, 2005, the Director of National 
     Intelligence Open Source Center was established with 
     functions that ``include collection, analysis and research, 
     training, and information technology management to facilitate 
     government-wide access and use'' of openly available 
     information.
       (16) The Strategic Plan of the Department of State provides 
     as a strategic goal that ``Our diplomatic and development 
     activities will reduce the threat or impact of violent 
     conflict by developing early warning . . . capability.''.
       (17) On January 22, 2009, James Steinberg, a nominee to be 
     Deputy Secretary of State, testified to the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate that ``if we're going to be 
     effective in this move towards smart power, then we have to 
     understand how we reprioritize our resources to be able to 
     achieve that. . . If we only think about the crisis of the 
     moment, then we're not prepared as new challenges emerge. And 
     we've seen this time and time again, that issues that were 
     not immediately on the radar screen don't get the attention 
     they deserve. . .. So the idea of looking forward and trying 
     to figure out over the long term where our priorities need to 
     be, how do we anticipate some of these challenges, and then 
     judge how we have sort of assigned resources to take care of 
     not only those current needs but also those long-term 
     challenges I think has to be very important and part of a 
     strategic planning strategy. . . although we have a very 
     strong intelligence community, that there is a tremendous 
     resource of people who've lived and worked out in the 
     countries that we're dealing with and that, for a variety of 
     reasons, the intelligence community is not always the best 
     equipped to do that. They bring their own special skills. But 
     the Foreign Service officers, and also people from outside 
     the government, are enormous sources of information and 
     value. And we need to find better ways, in my judgment, to 
     have more contact with people in the private sector, from the 
     NGOs, from the business community, from universities and the 
     like, as part of our being able to touch and feel what's 
     going on the ground.''.
       (18) On January 22, 2009, Jacob Lew, a nominee to be Deputy 
     Secretary of State, testified to the Committee on Foreign 
     Relations of the Senate that ``I believe strongly that 
     resources have to follow priorities. The decision of where we 
     need to be and what kinds of skills we need have to fit into 
     a comprehensive strategy. . .. We need to work with our other 
     Cabinet agency partners. There are 20 government agencies 
     that have resources that work in or through our embassies. We 
     don't need to recreate the wheel; we need to cooperate with 
     each other and make sure that we have enough Foreign Service, 
     civil service and locally engaged staff so that we can 
     effectively coordinate the efforts that the United States 
     puts on the ground. I think that it all begins with the 
     strategic planning process. If we don't have a clear vision 
     of what we need and what we want, were not going to be able 
     to make the right resource allocation decisions. And we have 
     to be able to look beyond this week, next week, or even next 
     year. . .. We need to reach not just into the building but 
     all the way into the field and make it clear that we have 
     every intention of bringing the resources of the State 
     Department to bear as we deal with these kinds of problems 
     and challenges abroad, that we have knowledge in our 
     embassies, in our consulates, about a range of issues, not 
     just political issues -- economic issues, scientific issues, 
     cultural issues -- that give us the broadest understanding of 
     what's going on in an increasingly global world.''.
       (19) The Legal Attache offices and sub-offices of the 
     Federal Bureau of Investigation are currently located in 75 
     cities around the world, providing coverage for more than 200 
     countries, territories, and islands.
       (20) On October 4, 2007, Thomas V. Fuentes, Assistant 
     Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for Office of 
     International Operations, testified to the Subcommittee on 
     Border, Maritime, and Global Counterterrorism of the 
     Committee on Homeland Security of the House of 
     Representatives that the ``core mission'' of the Legal 
     Attache offices ``is to establish and maintain liaison with 
     principal law enforcement and security services in designated 
     foreign countries. . . enabl[ing] the FBI to effectively and 
     expeditiously conduct its responsibilities in combating 
     international terrorism, organized crime, cyber crime, and 
     general criminal matters,'' and that while ``they do not 
     conduct foreign intelligence gathering,'' ``typical duties'' 
     include . . . ``conducting investigations in coordination 
     with the host government; sharing investigative leads and 
     information; briefing Embassy counterparts from other 
     agencies, including law enforcement agencies, as appropriate, 
     and Ambassadors. . . providing situation reports concerning 
     cultural protocol; [and] assessing political and security 
     climates.''.
       (21) The July 2008 Preliminary Findings by the Project on 
     National Security Reform, entitled ``Enduring Security in an 
     Unpredictable World: the Urgent Need for National Security 
     Reform,'' included the following:
       (A) The lack of a national security strategy that clearly 
     links ends, ways, and means and assigned roles and 
     responsibilities to each department has encouraged a 
     proliferation of department-level strategies. These 
     department strategies are uncoordinated and do not 
     systematically generate capabilities required for national 
     objectives
       (B) The resource allocation process is not driven by any 
     overall national plan or strategy for achieving broad 
     objectives, and the results or effectiveness of the budgeting 
     process cannot be measured against such objectives.
       (C) The national security system tends to overemphasize 
     traditional security threats and under emphasize emerging 
     challenges.

     SEC. 604. ESTABLISHMENT AND FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMISSION.
