       (2) The Director shall have sufficient opportunity to 
     review all such individuals and sufficient time to conduct 
     background checks and other investigative checks as 
     appropriate before entry to a national laboratory may take 
     place.
       (3) The Director shall submit to the chairmen and ranking 
     members of the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Armed Services of the 
     Senate by the 15th of each month a report on the foreign 
     visitors program that includes the following information:

     national laboratory during the previous month.
       (B) The nature and duration of the visit to the laboratory.
       (C) Whether a background check was performed on that 
     individual.
       (b) Additional Provisions Regarding Foreign Visitors.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act relating to 
     counterintelligence programs for a national laboratory, the 
     following provisions apply:
       (1) Moratorium.--Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), the 
     Secretary of Energy may not allow the admittance to any 
     facility of a national laboratory of any individual who is a 
     citizen of a nation that is named on the current Department 
     of Energy sensitive countries list.
       (2) Waiver authority.--The Secretary may waive the 
     prohibition in paragraph (1) on a case-by-case basis with 
     respect to specific individuals whose admission to a national 
     laboratory is determined by the Secretary to be necessary for 
     the national security of the United States. In the case of a 
     waiver granted by the Secretary under this paragraph, by not 
     later than five days after granting the waiver, the Secretary 
     shall submit to the appropriate committees a report 
     describing the waiver and including such information as the 
     Secretary determines appropriate.
       (3) Termination of moratorium.--(A) The moratorium under 
     paragraph (1) shall cease to be in effect when the Secretary 
     of Energy, after consultation with the Director of the 
     Federal Bureau of Investigation, submits to the chairmen and 
     ranking members of the Committee on Armed Services of the 
     House of Representatives and the Committee on Armed Services 
     of the Senate a certification in writing of the following:
       (i) That a fully functioning counterintelligence program is 
     implemented and operating at each national laboratory as 
     required in this section, and that each such 
     counterintelligence program complies with the requirements of 
     Presidential Decision Directive number 61.
       (ii) That all personnel of the Department of Energy with 
     access to classified information have been trained in 
     appropriate security measures, including, secure computer 
     operations.
       (iii) That a system has been established by which the 
     Secretary will act promptly to address any suspected 
     compromise of classified information.
       (B) If, at any time after the enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary determines that proper counterintelligence 
     safeguards are not in place at the national laboratories, or 
     if the Secretary determines that foreign visitors detract in 
     any way from a completely functional counterintelligence 
     program at the national laboratories, the Secretary shall 
     suspend all foreign visits to the national laboratories in 
     accordance with the paragraph (1). In the case of any 
     suspension under this paragraph, the Secretary shall submit 
     notice to the chairmen and ranking members of the Committee 
     on Armed Services of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Armed Services of the Senate.
