     counter covert influence operations by foreign intelligence 
     entities; and
       (3) be aligned with the National Security Strategy, which 
     acknowledges the national security threat posed by covert 
     influence operations conducted by foreign intelligence 
     entities.
       (b) Update Required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this act, the Director of National 
     Intelligence shall update the National Counterintelligence 
     Strategy to include a strategy to effectively detect and

     entities.
