  SA 1795. Mr. SCHMITT (for himself and Ms. Ernst) submitted an 
amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 2882, to 
reauthorize the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Trust Fund, and 
for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:
       Sec. ___. (a) None of the funds made available by this Act 
     may be used--
       (1) by an employee acting under the official authority of 
     the Federal Government to create a list or database with the 
     purpose of gathering and labeling any speech of a United 
     States citizen as disinformation or misinformation;
       (2) to provide or transmit a list or database described in 
     paragraph (1) or a single item of speech to any provider or 
     operator of a covered platform in order to alter, remove, 
     restrict, or suppress speech of a United States citizen that 
     is shared on the covered platform based on a determination, 
     by an employee acting under the official authority of the 
     Federal Government, that the views of the speech in the list, 
     database, or item are disinformation or misinformation; or
       (3) to create, or provide funding to a foreign government, 
     quasi-governmental organization, or nonprofit organization 
     for the research, development, or maintenance of, any 
     disinformation or misinformation list or ranking system 
     relating to news content, regardless of medium.
       (b) For purposes of this section, the term ``covered 
     platform'' means an interactive computer service, as that 
     term is defined in section 230 of the Communications Act of 
     1934 (47 U.S.C. 230).
                                 ______
