            of Naval Operations' projected force structure requirements for

            contemplated contract period the Secretary of the Navy will
            request funding for the contract at the level required to avoid
            contract cancellation.
                (4) There is a stable design for the property to be acquired

                            SEPARATED FROM THE ARMED FORCES DUE TO
                            PREGNANCY OR PARENTHOOD.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) In June 1948, Congress enacted the Women's Armed
            Services Integration Act of 1948, which formally authorized the
            appointment and enlistment of women in the regular components of
            the Armed Forces.
                (2) With the expansion of the Armed Forces to include women,
            the possibility arose for the first time that members of the
            regular components of the Armed Forces could become pregnant.
                (3) The response to such possibilities and actualities was
            Executive Order 10240, signed by President Harry S. Truman in
            1951, which granted the Armed Forces the authority to
            involuntarily separate or discharge a woman if she became
            pregnant, gave birth to a child, or became a parent by adoption
            or a stepparent.

    [[Page 136 STAT. 2574]]

                (4) The Armed Forces responded to the Executive order by
            systematically discharging any woman in the Armed Forces who
            became pregnant.
                (5) The Armed Forces were required to offer women who were
            involuntarily separated or discharged due to pregnancy the
            opportunity to request retention in the military.
                (6) The Armed Forces may not have provided required
            separation benefits, counseling, or assistance to the members of
            the Armed Forces who were separated or discharged due to
            pregnancy.
                (7) Thousands of members of the Armed Forces were
            involuntarily separated or discharged from the Armed Forces as a
            result of pregnancy.
                (8) Such involuntary separation or discharge from the Armed
            Forces on the basis of pregnancy was challenged in Federal
            district court by Stephanie Crawford in 1975, whose legal
            argument stated that this practice violated her constitutional
            right to due process of law.
                (9) The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled in
            Stephanie Crawford's favor in 1976 and found that Executive
            Order 10240 and any regulations relating to the Armed Forces
            that made separation or discharge mandatory due to pregnancy
            were unconstitutional.
                (10) By 1976, all regulations that permitted involuntary
            separation or discharge of a member of the Armed Forces because
            of pregnancy or any form of parenthood were rescinded.
                (11) Today, women comprise 17 percent of the Armed Forces,
            and many are parents, including 12 percent of whom are single
            parents.
                (12) While military parents face many hardships, today's
            Armed Forces provide various lengths of paid family leave for
            mothers and fathers, for both birth and adoption of children.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that women who
    served in the Armed Forces before February 23, 1976, should not have
    been involuntarily separated or discharged due to pregnancy or
    parenthood.

                    regarding military recruitment only for purposes of
                    military recruitment;
                        (B) <<NOTE: Confidentiality.>>  shall be kept
                    confidential.

                    10, United States Code, made by the Defense Officer

                        (B) combining active and reserve components in a
                    new, single Space Component and whether a similar
                    outcome could be achieved using the existing active and
                    reserve component frameworks with modest statutory
                    changes to allow reserve officers to serve on sustained
                    active duty; and
                        (C) creating career flexibility for reserve members
                    of the Space Component, including in shifting retirement
                    points earned from one year to the next and allowing
                    members of the Space Component to move back and forth

                (5) <<NOTE: Assessment.>>  An assessment of the implications
            of the proposed reorganization of the Space Force on the
            development of space as a warfighting domain in the profession
            of arms, particularly with respect to officer leadership,
            development, and stewardship of the profession.
                (6) <<NOTE: Determination.>>  A determination of whether
            existing government ethics regulations are adequate to address
            potential conflicts of interest for Space Component officers who
            seek to move back and forth between sustained active duty and
            working for private sector organizations in the space industry
            as reserve officers in the Space Component.
                (7) <<NOTE: Analyses.>>  An analysis of the following:
                        (A) Whether the proposed Space Component framework

                    chapter 38 of title 10, United States Code.
                        (B) Budgetary implications of the establishment of
                    the Space Component.
                        (C) The nature of the relationship with private
                    industry and civilian employers that would be required
                    and consistent with professional ethics to successfully
                    implement the Space Component.
                        (D) The effect of establishing a Space Component on
                    diversity and inclusion within the Space Force.

    SEC. 1247. OVERSIGHT OF UNITED STATES ASSISTANCE TO UKRAINE.

        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) continued assistance to Ukraine as it fights against the
            unjust and unprovoked attack by Russia is of critical importance
            to United States national security interests, and oversight and
            transparency for such assistance is essential to ensure
            effective and sustained support;
                (2) the executive branch has established the interagency
            Ukraine Oversight Working Group, which focuses on conducting
            comprehensive oversight, and issued the interagency U.S. Plan to
            Counter Illicit Diversion of Certain Advanced Conventional
            Weapons in Eastern Europe, a whole-of-government effort to
            advance accountability and end-use monitoring of weapons
            provided in response to the Ukraine crisis, and continued
            attention and regular briefings to relevant congressional
            oversight committees on such efforts is imperative;
                (3) each United States department and agency providing or
            facilitating assistance to Ukraine should continue to implement
            and institutionalize appropriate transparency, accountability,
            and end-use monitoring measures, including exploring creative
            approaches to overcoming the challenges associated with
            delivering assistance during an active armed conflict, as is
            detailed in the interagency Plan to Counter Illicit Diversion;
                (4) Inspectors General must continue to carry out
            comprehensive oversight and conduct reviews, audits,
            investigations, and inspections of United States support and
            activities carried out in response to Russia's further invasion
            of Ukraine, and provide regular briefings to the appropriate
            congressional committees on their findings;
                (5) the United States and its allies and partners should
            continue to support Ukrainian anti-corruption institutions and
            e-platforms, including the National Agency for Corruption
            Prevention, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, and
            the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, in their
            work to ensure effective assistance delivery and prevent
            incidents of waste, fraud, and abuse; and

    [[Page 136 STAT. 2849]]

                (6) Ukrainian authorities should also continue to establish
            new transparency, accountability, and end-use monitoring
            initiatives both independently and in partnership with relevant
            United States departments and agencies and other international
            partners, and the United States should continue to work with
            counterparts in Ukraine and other countries supporting their
            efforts to further mutual efforts to strengthen and
            institutionalize accountability measures and mechanisms.

            Armed Forces of the United States, including through
            participation in combined exercises and training;
                (8) engaging with the Federated States of Micronesia, the
            Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and
            other Pacific Island countries, with the goal of strengthening
            regional security and addressing issues of mutual concern,
            including protecting fisheries from illegal, unreported, and
            unregulated fishing;

            advance a shared vision for the region that is principled, long-
            term, and anchored in democratic resilience; and
                (10) investing in enhanced military posture and capabilities

            Command, identified by the Department of Defense as its priority
            theater, and strengthening cooperation in bilateral
            relationships, multilateral partnerships, and other
            international fora to uphold global security and shared
            principles, with the goal of ensuring the maintenance of a free
            and open Indo-Pacific region.

    SEC. 1272. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NATO AND UNITED STATES DEFENSE
                              POSTURE IN EUROPE.

        It is the sense of Congress as follows:

    [[Page 136 STAT. 2861]]

                (1) The Russian Federation's further invasion of Ukraine
            poses a grave threat to United States security and interests
            around the globe and to the rules-based international order,
            including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
                (2) The Russian Federation has demonstrated a complete
            disregard for the safety of civilians during its unlawful and
            unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, which has involved
            indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas and executions of
            noncombatants.
                (3) The United States stands with the people of Ukraine and
            condemns the heinous acts committed by the Russian Federation
            against them, and Congress strongly supports continued
            assistance to Ukraine to sustain its ability to repel Russian
            invasion forces and continue to retake its sovereign territory.
                (4) NATO remains the strongest and most successful military
            alliance in the world, founded on a commitment by its members to
            uphold the principles of democracy, individual liberty, and the
            rule of law. The NATO alliance has grown more robust and more
            united in response to Russia's 2022 further invasion of Ukraine,
            as allies have enhanced their deterrence and defense posture,
            and continued to send military aid to bolster Ukraine's
            defenses.
                (5) The United States--
                        (A) strongly supports the path of Sweden and Finland
                    toward NATO membership, as evidenced by the overwhelming
                    bipartisan Senate vote providing advice and consent to
                    the ratification of the Protocols of the North Atlantic
                    Treaty of 1949 on the Accession of the Republic of
                    Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden;
                        (B) urges all NATO allies who have not ratified
                    their accession to do so as soon as possible;
                        (C) reaffirms its ironclad commitment to NATO as the
                    foundation of transatlantic security and to upholding
                    its obligations under the North Atlantic Treaty,
                    including Article 5; and
                        (D) encourages NATO members to move swiftly to meet
                    their commitments made at the June 2022 NATO Summit to
                    expand NATO's multinational battle groups and enhance
                    military posture on NATO's eastern flank, and to
                    urgently continue progress on meeting their Wales Pledge
                    commitments, capability targets, contributions to NATO
                    missions and operations, and resilience commitments.
                (6) America's European allies and partners have--
                        (A) made significant contributions to Ukraine's
                    defense against the Russian invasion, including critical
                    military, economic, and humanitarian aid, sanctions, and
                    export controls, to erode Russia's ability to sustain
                    its aggression; and
                        (B) welcomed millions of Ukrainian refugees forced
                    to flee their homeland.
                (7) The United States must continue to work with these
            allies and partners to sustain this support, to collectively
            reconstitute weapons stocks, and to maintain unified resolve to
            reduce threats to critical infrastructure ranging from Russia's
            weaponization of energy to China's predatory investments in
            transportation and telecommunications infrastructure.
                (8) The United States should develop and implement a long-
            term plan to adapt United States posture in Europe to

    [[Page 136 STAT. 2862]]

            the altered threat environment. The elevated United States
            posture currently in Europe is crucial in the current threat
            environment, and the United States posture changes announced
            during the June 2022 NATO Summit are important steps, including
            the establishment of the first permanently stationed
            headquarters in Poland, the commitment to maintain a rotational
            brigade combat team and headquarters in Romania, enhanced
            rotations to the Baltic countries, and the forward-stationing of
            two additional destroyers in Rota, Spain.
                (9) European Deterrence Initiative (EDI) investments have
            proven crucial to United States and NATO abilities to rapidly
            reinforce the European theater leading up to and during Russia's
            further invasion of Ukraine. The United States should continue
            robust investments through EDI, including further enhancing
            United States posture in Europe and maintaining a committed
            schedule of exercises with allies.
                (10) The Black Sea is critical to United States interests
            and to the security of NATO in the region, given Russia's
            unprovoked and unjustified war in Ukraine and Russia's attempts
            to directly intimidate, coerce, and otherwise influence
            countries in this region. These allies' and partners' security
            will have major consequences for broader European security and
            collective efforts to enhance Black Sea countries' defense and
            resilience capabilities are essential. In addition, the United
            States and NATO should consider adopting robust
            intergovernmental and interagency strategies for the Black Sea,
            to facilitate further collaboration among all countries in the
            region.
                (11) Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania play a critical role in
            strategic efforts to continue to deter Russia.
                (12) The United States should continue to pursue efforts
            consistent with the comprehensive, multilateral Baltic Defense
            Assessment conducted by the Department of Defense. Robust
            support to accomplish United States strategic objectives,
            including by providing continued assistance to the Baltic
            countries through security cooperation, including cooperation
            referred to as the Baltic Security Initiative pursuant to
            sections 332 and 333 of title 10, United States Code, should
            continue to be prioritized in the years to come. Specifically,
            such assistance should include the continuation of--
                        (A) enhancements to critical capabilities that will
                    strengthen Baltic security as well as strengthen NATO's
                    deterrence and defense posture, including integrated air
                    and missile defense, maritime domain awareness, long-
                    range precision fires, and command and control;
                        (B) efforts to enhance interoperability among
                    Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania and with NATO;
                        (C) infrastructure and other host-country support
                    improvements that will enhance United States and allied
                    military mobility across the region;
                        (D) efforts to improve resilience to hybrid and
                    cyber threats in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania; and
                        (E) support for planning and budgeting efforts of
                    Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania that are regionally
                    synchronized.
                (13) It is in the United States interest to support efforts
            to enhance security and stability in the Western Balkans. The
            United States should continue its efforts to work with Western

    [[Page 136 STAT. 2863]]

            Balkans allies and partners to build interoperability and
            support institutional reforms. The United States should also
            support those countries' efforts to resist disinformation
            campaigns, predatory investments, and other means by which
            Russia and China may seek to influence this region.
                (14) The United States should continue to work closely with
            European allies and partners to counter growing malign
            activities by the People's Republic of China across Europe, in
            the Indo-Pacific, and beyond.

    subject to such reasonable regulations, policies, and practices as the
    Secretary considers necessary, in accordance with--
                (1) section 4(d)(4) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C.
            1133(d)(4)); and
                (2) the guidelines set forth in Appendix A of the report of
            the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs of the House of
            Representatives accompanying H.R. 2570 of the 101st Congress

        (f) Water Rights.--
                (1) Findings.--Congress finds that--
                        (A) the wilderness areas--
                              (i) are located in the semiarid region of the
                          Great Basin region; and
                              (ii) include ephemeral and perennial streams;
                        (B) the hydrology of the wilderness areas is
                    predominantly characterized by complex flow patterns and
                    alluvial fans with impermanent channels;
                        (C) the subsurface hydrogeology of the region in
                    which the wilderness areas are located is characterized
                    by--
                              (i) groundwater subject to local and regional
                          flow gradients; and
                              (ii) unconfined and artesian conditions;
                        (D) the wilderness areas are generally not suitable
                    for use or development of new water resource facilities;
                    and
                        (E) because of the unique nature and hydrology of
                    the desert land in the wilderness areas, it is possible
                    to provide for proper management and protection of the
                    wilderness areas and other values of land in ways
                    different from those used in other laws.
                (2) Statutory construction.--Nothing in this subsection--
                        (A) constitutes an express or implied reservation by
                    the United States of any water or water rights with
                    respect to the wilderness areas;
                        (B) affects any water rights in the State of Nevada
                    (including any water rights held by the United States)
                    in existence on the date of enactment of this Act;
                        (C) establishes a precedent with regard to any
                    future wilderness designations;
                        (D) affects the interpretation of, or any
                    designation made under, any other Act; or
                        (E) limits, alters, modifies, or amends any
                    interstate compact or equitable apportionment decree
                    that apportions water among and between the State of
                    Nevada and other States.
                (3) Nevada water law.--The Secretary shall follow the
            procedural and substantive requirements of Nevada State law in
            order to obtain and hold any water rights not in existence on
            the date of enactment of this Act with respect to the wilderness
            areas.

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3042]]

                (4) New projects.--
                        (A) Definition of water resource facility.--
                              (i) In general.--In this paragraph, the term
                          ``water resource facility'' means irrigation and

                          works, aqueducts, canals, ditches, pipelines,
                          wells, hydropower projects, transmission and other
                          ancillary facilities, and other water diversion,
                          storage, and carriage structures.
                              (ii) Exclusion.--In this paragraph, the term
                          ``water resource facility'' does not include
                          wildlife guzzlers.
                        (B) Restriction on new water resource facilities.--
                    Except as otherwise provided in this section, on and
                    after the date of enactment of this Act, neither the
                    President nor any other officer, employee, or agent of
                    the United States shall fund, assist, authorize, or
                    issue a license or permit for the development of any new
                    water resource facility within a wilderness area.

        (g) Wildfire, Insects, and Disease.--In accordance with section
    4(d)(1) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(1)), the Secretary may
    take such measures in a wilderness area as are necessary for the control
    of fire, insects, and diseases (including, as the Secretary determines
    to be appropriate, the coordination of the activities with a State or
    local agency).
        (h) <<NOTE: Determination.>>  Data Collection.--Subject to such
    terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe, nothing in this
    section precludes the installation and maintenance of hydrologic,
    meteorological, or climatological collection devices in a wilderness
    area, if the Secretary determines that the devices and access to the
    devices are essential to flood warning, flood control, or water
    reservoir operation activities.

        (i) Military Overflights.--Nothing in this section restricts or
    precludes--
                (1) low-level overflights of military aircraft over a
            wilderness area, including military overflights that can be seen
            or heard within a wilderness area;
                (2) flight testing and evaluation; or
                (3) the designation or creation of new units of special use
            airspace, or the establishment of military flight training
            routes, over a wilderness area.

        (j) Wildlife Management.--
                (1) In general.--In accordance with section 4(d)(7) of the
            Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(7)), nothing in this chapter
            affects or diminishes the jurisdiction of the State of Nevada
            with respect to fish and wildlife management, including the
            regulation of hunting, fishing, and trapping, in the wilderness
            areas.
                (2) Management activities.--In furtherance of the purposes
            and principles of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.),
            the Secretary may conduct any management activities in the
            wilderness areas that are necessary to maintain or restore fish
            and wildlife populations and the habitats to support the
            populations, if the activities are carried out--
                        (A) consistent with relevant wilderness management
                    plans; and
                        (B) in accordance with--

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3043]]

                              (i) the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et
                          seq.); and
                              (ii) appropriate policies, such as those set
                          forth in Appendix B of the report of the Committee
                          on Interior and Insular Affairs of the House of
                          Representatives accompanying H.R. 2570 of the
                          101st Congress (House Report 101-405), including
                          the occasional and temporary use of motorized
                          vehicles, if the use, as determined by the
                          Secretary, would promote healthy, viable, and more
                          naturally distributed wildlife populations that
                          would enhance wilderness values with the minimal
                          impact necessary to reasonably accomplish those
                          tasks.
                (3) Existing activities.--In accordance with section 4(d)(1)
            of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(1)) and in accordance
            with appropriate policies such as those set forth in Appendix B
            of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs of the House of
            Representatives accompanying H.R. 2570 of the 101st Congress
            (House Report 101-405), the State may continue to use aircraft
            (including helicopters) to survey, capture, transplant, monitor,
            and provide water for wildlife populations.
                (4) Wildlife water development projects.--Subject to
            subsection (f), the Secretary shall authorize structures and
            facilities, including existing structures and facilities, for
            wildlife water development projects, including guzzlers, in the
            wilderness areas if--
                        (A) the structures and facilities would, as
                    determined by the Secretary, enhance wilderness values
                    by promoting healthy, viable, and more naturally
                    distributed wildlife populations; and
                        (B) the visual impacts of the structures and
                    facilities on the wilderness areas can reasonably be
                    minimized.
                (5) Hunting, fishing, and trapping.--
                        (A) In general.--The Secretary may designate areas
                    in which, and establish periods during which, for
                    reasons of public safety, administration, or compliance
                    with applicable laws, no hunting, fishing, or trapping
                    will be permitted in the wilderness areas.
                        (B) Consultation.--Except in emergencies, the
                    Secretary shall consult with the appropriate State
                    agency and notify the public before taking any action
                    under subparagraph (A).
                (6) Cooperative agreement.--
                        (A) In general.--The State of Nevada, including a
                    designee of the State, may conduct wildlife management
                    activities in the wilderness areas--
                              (i) in accordance with the terms and
                          conditions specified in the cooperative agreement
                          between the Secretary and the State entitled

                          and the State of Nevada; and
                              (ii) subject to all applicable laws (including
                          regulations).

    SEC. 5511. <<NOTE: 22 USC 3357.>>  FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF
                              POLICY.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) Advancing peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific has
            been a central element of United States foreign policy toward
            the region.
                (2) The Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC),
            especially since the election of Tsai Ing-Wen in 2016, has
            conducted a coordinated campaign to weaken Taiwan
            diplomatically, economically, and militarily in a manner that
            threatens to erode United States policy and create a fait
            accompli on questions surrounding Taiwan's future.
                (3) To secure United States interests and preserve the
            ability of the people of Taiwan to determine their own future,
            it is necessary to reinforce Taiwan's diplomatic, economic, and
            territorial space.

        (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to--
                (1) maintain the position that peace and stability in the
            Western Pacific are in the political, security, and economic
            interests of the United States, and are matters of international
            concern; and
                (2) work with allies and partners to promote peace and
            stability in the Indo-Pacific and deter military acts or other
            forms of coercive behavior that would undermine regional
            stability.
    SEC. 5512. <<NOTE: 22 USC 3351 note.>>  SENSE OF CONGRESS ON
                              TAIWAN DEFENSE RELATIONS.

        It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C. et
            seq.) and the Six Assurances provided by the United States to
            Taiwan in July 1982 are the foundation for United States-Taiwan
            relations;
                (2) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the United
            States decision to establish diplomatic relations with the
            People's Republic of China rests upon the expectation that the
            future of Taiwan will be determined by peaceful means, and that
            any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than
            peaceful means, including boycotts and embargoes, is of grave
            concern to the United States;

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3309]]

                (3) the increasingly coercive and aggressive behavior of the
            People's Republic of China toward Taiwan is contrary to the
            expectation of the peaceful resolution of the future of Taiwan;
                (4) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the capacity
            to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that
            would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system,
            of the people on Taiwan should be maintained;
                (5) the United States should continue to support the
            development of capable, ready, and modern defense forces
            necessary for Taiwan to maintain sufficient defensive
            capabilities, including by--
                        (A) supporting acquisition by Taiwan of defense
                    articles and services through foreign military sales,
                    direct commercial sales, and industrial cooperation,
                    with an emphasis on capabilities that support an
                    asymmetric strategy;
                        (B) ensuring timely review of and response to
                    requests of Taiwan for defense articles and services;
                        (C) conducting practical training and military
                    exercises with Taiwan that enable Taiwan to maintain
                    sufficient defensive capabilities, as described in the
                    Taiwan Relations Act;
                        (D) exchanges between defense officials and officers
                    of the United States and Taiwan at the strategic,
                    policy, and functional levels, consistent with the
                    Taiwan Travel Act (Public Law 115-135; 132 Stat. 341),
                    especially for the purposes of--
                              (i) enhancing cooperation on defense planning;
                              (ii) improving the interoperability of the
                          military forces of the United States and Taiwan;
                          and
                              (iii) improving the reserve force of Taiwan;
                        (E) cooperating with Taiwan to improve its ability
                    to employ military capabilities in asymmetric ways, as
                    described in the Taiwan Relations Act; and
                        (F) expanding cooperation in humanitarian assistance
                    and disaster relief; and
                (6) the United States should increase its support to a free
            and open society in the face of aggressive efforts by the
            Government of the People's Republic of China to curtail or
            influence the free exercise of rights and democratic franchise.

                              COERCION BY THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF
                              CHINA.

        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the People's Republic of China's (PRC) increasing use of
            economic coercion against foreign governments, companies,
            organizations, other entities, and individuals requires that the
            United States devise a comprehensive, effective, and
            multilateral response;
                (2) the private sector is a crucial partner in helping the
            United States Government respond to the PRC's coercive economic
            practices and hold the PRC accountable;
                (3) improved engagement and communication with the private
            sector, including receiving information from the United States
            private sector about the PRC's coercive economic practices would
            help the United States Government and private sector
            stakeholders conduct early assessments of potential pressure
            points and vulnerabilities; and
                (4) PRC coercive economic practices create pressures for the
            private sector to behave in ways antithetical to United States
            national interests and competitiveness.

        (b) <<NOTE: Deadline. President.>>  Establishment of Task Force.--
    Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the
    President shall establish an interagency task force to be known as the
    ``Countering

                    practices, which shall include--

                                        (II) instances in which such

                                    has benefitted other parties; and
                                        (III) the impacts such practices

           PART 3--INCLUSION OF TAIWAN IN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

    SEC. 5516. <<NOTE: 22 USC 3371.>>  FINDINGS.

        Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Since 2016, the Gambia, Sao Tome and Principe, Panama,
            the Dominican Republic, Burkina Faso, El Salvador, the Solomon
            Islands, and Kiribati have severed diplomatic relations with
            Taiwan in favor of diplomatic relations with China.
                (2) Taiwan was invited to participate in the World Health
            Assembly (WHA), the decision-making body of the World Health
            Organization (WHO), as an observer annually between 2009 and
            2016. Since the 2016 election of President Tsai, the PRC has
            increasingly resisted Taiwan's participation in the WHA. Taiwan
            was not invited to attend the WHA in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, or
            2021.
                (3) The Taipei Flight Information Region reportedly served
            1,750,000 flights and 68,900,000 passengers in 2018, and is home
            to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, the eleventh busiest
            airport in the world. Taiwan has been excluded from
            participating at the International Civil Aviation Organization
            (ICAO) since 2013.
                (4) United Nations (UN) General Assembly Resolution 2758
            does not address the issue of representation of Taiwan and its
            people at the United Nations, nor does it give the PRC the right
            to represent the people of Taiwan.
    SEC. 5517. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON TAIWAN'S MEANINGFUL PARTICIPATION
                              IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.

        It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) Taiwan is an important contributor to the global
            community, as a model for democracy, and by providing expertise
            in global health, international aviation security, emerging
            technology development, and high environmental standards;
                (2) multiple United States Government administrations of
            both political parties have taken important steps to advance
            Taiwan's meaningful participation in international
            organizations;
                (3) existing efforts to enhance United States cooperation
            with Taiwan to provide global public goods, including through
            development assistance, humanitarian assistance, and disaster
            relief, in trilateral and multilateral fora are laudable and
            should continue;
                (4) nonetheless, significant structural, policy, and legal
            barriers remain to advancing Taiwan's meaningful participation
            in the international community; and
                (5) efforts to share Taiwan's expertise with other parts of
            the global community could be further enhanced through a
            systematic approach, along with greater attention from Congress
            and the American public to such efforts.

    SEC. <<NOTE: 22 USC 3372.>>  5518. STRATEGY TO SUPPORT TAIWAN'S
                              MEANINGFUL PARTICIPATION IN
                              INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS.

        (a) <<NOTE: Deadline.>>  In General.--Not later than 180 days after
    the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in
    consultation with other Federal departments and agencies as appropriate,
    shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a strategy--
                (1) to advance Taiwan''s meaningful participation in a
            prioritized set of international organizations (IOs); and
                (2) that responds to growing pressure from the PRC on
            foreign governments, IOs, commercial actors, and civil society
            organizations to comply with its ``One-China Principle'', with
            respect to Taiwan.

        (b) Matters to Be Included.--The strategy required under subsection
    (a) should include the following elements:
                (1) <<NOTE: Assessments.>>  An assessment of the methods the
            PRC uses to coerce actors to into adhering to its ``One-China
            Principle.'' The methods should include those employed against
            governments, IOs, and civil society organizations. The
            assessment should also include pressure on commercial actors, to
            the extent it is relevant in the context of Taiwan's meaningful
            participation in IOs.
                (2) <<NOTE: Assessment.>>  An assessment of the policies of
            foreign governments toward the PRC and Taiwan, to identify
            likeminded allies and partners who might become public or
            private partners in the strategy.
                (3) <<NOTE: Analysis.>>  A systematic analysis of all IOs,
            as practicable, to identify IOs that best lend themselves to
            advancing Taiwan's participation.
                (4) <<NOTE: Plan.>>  A plan to expand economic, security,
            and diplomatic engagement with nations that have demonstrably
            strengthened, enhanced, or upgraded relations with Taiwan, in
            accordance with United States interests.
                (5) <<NOTE: Survey.>>  A survey of IOs that have allowed
            Taiwan's meaningful participation, including an assessment of
            whether any erosion in Taiwan's engagement has occurred within
            those organizations and how Taiwan's participation has
            positively strengthened the capacity and activity of these
            organizations, thereby providing positive models for Taiwan's
            inclusion in other similar forums.
                (6) <<NOTE: List. Time period.>>  A list of no more than 20
            IOs at which the United States Government will prioritize for
            using its voice, vote, and influence to advance Taiwan's
            meaningful participation over the three-year period following
            the date of enactment of this Act. The list should be derived
            from the IOs identified in paragraph (3).
                (7) A description of the diplomatic strategies and the
            coalitions the United States Government plans to develop to
            implement paragraph (6).

        (c) <<NOTE: Classified information.>>  Form of Report.--The strategy
    required in subsection (a) shall be classified, but it may include an
    unclassified summary.

        (d) Support for Meaningful Participation.--The Permanent
    Representative of the United States to the United Nations and other
    relevant United States officials shall actively support Taiwan's
    meaningful participation in all appropriate international organizations.

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3319]]

    SEC. 5519. <<NOTE: 22 USC 3373.>>  MEANINGFUL PARTICIPATION OF
                              TAIWAN IN THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL
                              AVIATION ORGANIZATION.

        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
            should allow Taiwan to meaningfully participate in the
            organization, including in ICAO triennial assembly sessions,
            conferences, technical working groups, meetings, activities, and
            mechanisms;
                (2) Taiwan is a global leader and hub for international
            aviation, with a range of expertise, information, and resources
            and the fifth busiest airport in Asia (Taoyuan International
            Airport), and its meaningful participation in ICAO would
            significantly enhance the ability of ICAO to ensure the safety
            and security of global aviation; and
                (3) coercion by the Chinese Communist Party and the People's
            Republic of China has ensured the systematic exclusion of Taiwan
            from meaningful participation in ICAO, significantly undermining
            the ability of ICAO to ensure the safety and security of global
            aviation.

        (b) Plan for Taiwan's Meaningful Participation in the International
    Civil Aviation Organization.--The Secretary of State, in coordination
    with the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Transportation, is
    authorized--
                (1) to initiate a United States plan to secure Taiwan's
            meaningful participation in ICAO, including in ICAO triennial
            assembly sessions, conferences, technical working groups,
            meetings, activities, and mechanisms; and
                (2) to instruct the United States representative to the ICAO
            to--
                        (A) use the voice and vote of the United States to
                    ensure Taiwan's meaningful participation in ICAO,
                    including in ICAO triennial assembly sessions,
                    conferences, technical working groups, meetings,
                    activities, and mechanisms; and
                        (B) seek to secure a vote at the next ICAO triennial
                    assembly session on the question of Taiwan's
                    participation in that session.

        (c) Report Concerning Taiwan's Meaningful Participation in the
    International Civil Aviation Organization.-- <<NOTE: Time period.>> Not
    later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and not
    later than April 1 of each year thereafter for the following 6 years,
    the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of Commerce,
    shall submit to the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on
    Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on
    Foreign Affairs, the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and
    the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives an
    unclassified report that--
                (1) describes the United States plan to ensure Taiwan's
            meaningful participation in ICAO, including in ICAO triennial
            assembly sessions, conferences, technical working groups,
            meetings, activities, and mechanisms;

    SEC. 5525. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EXPANDING UNITED STATES ECONOMIC
                              RELATIONS WITH TAIWAN.

        It is the sense of the Congress that--
                (1) expanding United States economic relations with Taiwan
            has benefitted the people of both the United States and Taiwan,
            as Taiwan is now the United States 10th largest goods trading
            partner, 13th largest export market, 13th largest source of
            imports, and a key destination for United States agricultural
            exports;
                (2) further integration would benefit both peoples and is in
            the strategic and diplomatic interests of the United States; and
                (3) the United States should explore opportunities to expand
            economic agreements between Taiwan and the United States,
            through dialogue, and by developing the legal templates required
            to support potential future agreements.

       PART 5-- <<NOTE: Taiwan Fellowship Act.>> SUPPORTING UNITED STATES
    EDUCATIONAL AND EXCHANGE PROGRAMS WITH TAIWAN
    SEC. 5526. <<NOTE: 22 USC 3351 note.>>  SHORT TITLE.

        This part may be cited as the ``Taiwan Fellowship Act''.
    SEC. 5527. <<NOTE: 22 USC 3381.>>  FINDINGS.

        Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C.
            3301 et seq.) affirmed United States policy ``to preserve and
            promote extensive, close, and friendly commercial, cultural, and
            other relations between the people of the United States and the
            people on Taiwan, as well as the people on the China mainland
            and all other peoples of the Western Pacific area''.
                (2) Consistent with the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act of
            2018 (Public Law 115-409), the United States has grown its
            strategic partnership with Taiwan's vibrant democracy of
            23,000,000 people.

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3325]]

                (3) The creation of a United States fellowship program with
            Taiwan would support--
                        (A) a key priority of expanding people-to-people
                    exchanges, which was outlined in President Donald J.
                    Trump's 2017 National Security Strategy;
                        (B) President Joseph R. Biden's commitment to
                    Taiwan, ``a leading democracy and a critical economic
                    and security partner'', as expressed in his March 2021
                    Interim National Security Strategic Guidance; and
                        (C) April 2021 guidance from the Department of State
                    based on a review required under the Taiwan Assurance
                    Act of 2020 (subtitle B of title III of division FF of
                    Public Law 116-260) to ``encourage U.S. government
                    engagement with Taiwan that reflects our deepening
                    unofficial relationship''.
    SEC. 5528. <<NOTE: 22 USC 3382.>>  PURPOSES.

        The purposes of this part are--
                (1) to further strengthen the United States-Taiwan strategic
            partnership and broaden understanding of the Indo-Pacific region
            by temporarily assigning officials of any agencies of the United
            States Government to Taiwan for intensive study in Mandarin and
            placement as Fellows in a Taiwanese civic institution;
                (2) to provide for eligible United States personnel--
                        (A) to learn or strengthen Mandarin Chinese language
                    skills; and
                        (B) to expand their understanding of the political
                    economy of Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific region; and
                (3) to better position the United States to advance its
            economic, security, and human rights interests and values in the
            Indo-Pacific region.

            infectious disease outbreak, in advance of the next infectious
            disease outbreak with pandemic potential.

            toward assessing infectious disease threats under the
            International Health Regulations (2005) for the World Health

            Services, in coordination with the Secretary of State, the
            Administrator of the USAID, the Director of the Centers for
            Disease Control and Prevention, and the heads of other relevant

            Emergencies Programme, the Global Health Security Agenda, and
            national actions plans for health security, should work, in
            cooperation with the World Health Organization, with partner
            countries, and other key stakeholders, to support the
            establishment, strengthening, and rapid response capacity of
            global health emergency operations centers, at the partner
            country and international levels, including efforts--

                    cross-sectoral emergency operations during the 48-hour
                    period immediately following an infectious disease
                    outbreak with pandemic potential; and
                        (C) to organize and conduct emergency simulations.

            eligible partner country to exempt from duties and taxes all
            products financed by such grants, including procurements by any

    human rights and the restoration of civilian government in Burma.
        (b) Matters to Be Included.--The strategy described in subsection
    (a) should include plans and steps to--
                (1) coordinate the sanctions policies of the United States
            with relevant bureaus and offices in the Department of State and
            other relevant United States Government agencies;
                (2) conduct relevant research and vetting of entities and
            individuals that may be subject to sanctions and coordinate

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3367]]

            with other United States Government agencies and international
            financial intelligence units to assist in efforts to enforce
            anti-money laundering and anti-corruption laws and regulations;
                (3) promote a comprehensive international effort to impose
            and enforce multilateral sanctions with respect to Burma;
                (4) support interagency United States Government efforts,
            including efforts of the United States Chief of Mission to
            Burma, the United States Ambassador to ASEAN, and the United
            States Permanent Representative to the United Nations, relating
            to--
                        (A) identifying opportunities to exert pressure on
                    the governments of the People's Republic of China and
                    the Russian Federation to support multilateral action
                    against the Burmese military; and
                        (B) working with like-minded partners to impose a
                    coordinated arms embargo on the Burmese military and
                    targeted sanctions on the economic interests of the
                    Burmese military, including through the introduction and
                    adoption of a United Nations Security Council
                    resolution; and
                (5) provide timely input for reporting on the impacts of the
            implementation of sanctions on the Burmese military and the
            people of Burma.

                              NATIONS ACTION WITH RESPECT TO BURMA.

        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the United Nations Security Council has not taken
            adequate steps to condemn the February 1, 2021, coup in Burma,
            pressure the Burmese military to cease its violence against
            civilians, or secure the release of those unjustly detained;
                (2) countries, such as the People's Republic of China and
            the Russian Federation, that are directly or indirectly
            shielding the Burmese military from international scrutiny and
            action, should be obliged to endure the reputational damage of
            doing so by taking public votes on resolutions related to Burma
            that apply greater pressure on the Burmese military to restore
            Burma to its democratic path; and
                (3) the United Nations Secretariat and the United Nations
            Security Council should take concrete steps to address the coup
            and ongoing crisis in Burma consistent with United Nations
            General Assembly resolution 75/287, ``The situation in
            Myanmar,'' which was adopted on June 18, 2021.

        (b) <<NOTE: President.>>  Support for Greater Action.--The President
    shall direct the United States Permanent Representative to the United
    Nations to use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States to
    spur greater action by the United Nations and the United Nations
    Security Council with respect to Burma by--
                (1) pushing the United Nations Security Council to consider
            a resolution condemning the February 1, 2021, coup and calling
            on the Burmese military to cease its violence against the people
            of Burma and release without preconditions the journalists, pro-
            democracy activists, and political officials that it has
            unjustly detained;
                (2) pushing the United Nations Security Council to consider
            a resolution that immediately imposes a global arms embargo

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3368]]

            against Burma to ensure that the Burmese military is not able to
            obtain weapons and munitions from other nations to further harm,
            murder, and oppress the people of Burma;
                (3) pushing the United Nations and other United Nations
            authorities to cut off assistance to the Government of Burma
            while providing humanitarian assistance directly to the people
            of Burma through United Nations bodies and civil society
            organizations, particularly such organizations working with
            ethnic minorities that have been adversely affected by the coup
            and the Burmese military's violent crackdown; and
                (4) spurring the United Nations Security Council to consider
            multilateral sanctions against the Burmese military for its
            atrocities against Rohingya and individuals of other ethnic and
            religious minorities, its coup, and the atrocities it has and
            continues to commit in the coup's aftermath.

        (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United
    States Permanent Representative to the United Nations should use the
    voice, vote, and influence of the United States to--
                (1) object to the appointment of representatives to the
            United Nations and United Nations bodies such as the Human
            Rights Council that are sanctioned by the Burmese military; and
                (2) work to ensure the Burmese military is not recognized as
            the legitimate government of Burma in any United Nations body.

        (a) In General.--The authority to impose sanctions and the sanctions
    imposed under this part shall terminate on the date that is 8 years
    after the date of the enactment of this Act.
        (b) Certification for Early Sunset of Sanctions.--Sanctions imposed
    under this part may be removed before the date specified in subsection
    (a), if the President submits to the appropriate congressional
    committees a certification that--
                (1) the Burmese military has released all political
            prisoners taken into custody on or after February 1, 2021, or is
            providing legal recourse to those that remain in custody;
                (2) the elected government of Burma has been reinstated or
            new free and fair elections have been held;
                (3) all legal charges against those winning election in
            November 2020 are dropped; and
                (4) the 2008 constitution of Burma has been amended or
            replaced to place the Burmese military under civilian oversight
            and ensure that the Burmese military no longer automatically
            receives 25 percent of seats in Burma's state, regional, and
            national Hluttaws.

        (c) Notification for Early Sunset of Sanctions on Individuals.--
                (1) In general.--The President may terminate the application
            of sanctions under this part with respect to specific
            individuals if the President submits to the appropriate
            congressional committees--
                        (A) a notice of and justification for the
                    termination; and
                        (B) a notice that the individual is not engaging in
                    the activity or is no longer occupying the position that

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3369]]

                    was the basis for the sanctions or has taken significant
                    verifiable steps toward stopping the activity.
                (2) Form.--The notice required by paragraph (1) shall be
            submitted in unclassified form but may include a classified
            annex.

    Korean Censorship and Surveillance Act of 2022''.
    SEC. 5581. <<NOTE: 22 USC 7814 note.>>  FINDINGS; SENSE OF
                              CONGRESS.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The information landscape in North Korea is the most
            repressive in the world, consistently ranking last or near-last
            in the annual World Press Freedom Index.
                (2) Under the brutal rule of Kim Jung Un, the country's
            leader since 2012, the North Korean regime has tightened
            controls on access to information, as well as enacted harsh
            punishments for consumers of outside media, including sentencing
            to time in a concentration camp and a maximum penalty of death.
                (3) Such repressive and unjust laws surrounding information
            in North Korea resulted in the death of 22-year-old United
            States citizen and university student Otto Warmbier, who had
            traveled to North Korea in December 2015 as part of a guided
            tour.
                (4) Otto Warmbier was unjustly arrested, sentenced to 15
            years of hard labor, and severely mistreated at the hands of
            North Korean officials. While in captivity, Otto Warmbier
            suffered a serious medical emergency that placed him into a
            comatose state. Otto Warmbier was comatose upon his release in
            June 2017 and died 6 days later.
                (5) Despite increased penalties for possession and
            viewership of foreign media, the people of North Korean have
            increased their desire for foreign media content, according to a
            survey of 200 defectors concluding that 90 percent had watched
            South Korean or other foreign media before defecting.
                (6) On March 23, 2021, in an annual resolution, the United
            Nations General Assembly condemned ``the long-standing and
            ongoing systematic, widespread and gross violations of human
            rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea'' and
            expressed grave concern at, among other things, ``the denial of
            the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion . . .
            and of the rights to freedom of opinion, expression, and
            association, both online and offline, which is enforced through
            an absolute monopoly on information and total control over
            organized social life, and arbitrary and unlawful state
            surveillance that permeates the private lives of all citizens''.
                (7) In 2018, Typhoon Yutu caused extensive damage to 15
            broadcast antennas used by the United States Agency for Global
            Media in Asia, resulting in reduced programming to North Korea.
            The United States Agency for Global Media has rebuilt 5 of the
            15 antenna systems as of June 2021.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) in the event of a crisis situation, particularly where
            information pertaining to the crisis is being actively censored
            or a false narrative is being put forward, the United States

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3372]]

            should be able to quickly increase its broadcasting capability
            to deliver fact-based information to audiences, including those
            in North Korea; and
                (2) the United States International Broadcasting Surge
            Capacity Fund is already authorized under section 316 of the
            United States International Broadcasting Act of 1994 (22 U.S.C.
            6216), and expanded authority to transfer unobligated balances
            from expired accounts of the United States Agency for Global
            Media would enable the Agency to more nimbly respond to crises.
    SEC. 5582. <<NOTE: 22 USC 7814 note.>>  STATEMENT OF POLICY.

         It is the policy of the United States--
                (1) to provide the people of North Korea with access to a
            diverse range of fact-based information;
                (2) to develop and implement novel means of communication
            and information sharing that increase opportunities for
            audiences in North Korea to safely create, access, and share
            digital and non-digital news without fear of repressive
            censorship, surveillance, or penalties under law; and
                (3) to foster and innovate new technologies to counter North
            Korea's state-sponsored repressive surveillance and censorship
            by advancing internet freedom tools, technologies, and new
            approaches.

                (2) A detailed description of the agencies and other
            government entities, key officials, and security services
            responsible for the implementation of North Korea's repressive
            laws regarding foreign media consumption.
                (3) A detailed description of the agencies and other
            government entities and key officials of foreign governments
            that assist, facilitate, or aid North Korea's repressive
            censorship and surveillance state.
                (4) <<NOTE: Review.>>  A review of existing public-private
            partnerships that provide circumvention technology and an
            assessment of the feasibility and utility of new tools to
            increase free expression, circumvent censorship, and obstruct
            repressive surveillance in North Korea.
                (5) A description of and funding levels required for current
            United States Government programs and activities to provide
            access for the people of North Korea to a diverse range of fact-
            based information.
                (6) <<NOTE: Update.>>  An update of the plan required by
            section 104(a)(7)(A) of the North Korean Human Rights Act of
            2004 (22 U.S.C. 7814(a)(7)(A)).

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3373]]

                (7) A description of Department of State programs and
            funding levels for programs that promote internet freedom in
            North Korea, including monitoring and evaluation efforts.
                (8) A description of grantee programs of the United States
            Agency for Global Media in North Korea that facilitate
            circumvention tools and broadcasting, including monitoring and
            evaluation efforts.
                (9) <<NOTE: Assessment.>>  A detailed assessment of how the
            United States International Broadcasting Surge Capacity Fund
            authorized under section 316 of the United States International
            Broadcasting Act of 1994 (22 U.S.C. 6216) has operated to
            respond to crisis situations in the past, and how authority to

                (2) the Islamic Republic of Iran has been less than
            cooperative with international inspectors from the International

            surveillance equipment across Iran;
                (3) the Islamic Republic of Iran continues to advance

            within the United States;
                (6) the Islamic Republic of Iran is engaged in unsafe and

            North Africa;
                (7) the Islamic Republic of Iran has delivered hundreds of

            States; and
                (8) the United States must--

                    not acquire a nuclear weapons capability;
                        (B) protect against aggression from the Islamic
                    Republic of Iran manifested through its missiles and

                        (C) counter regional and global terrorism of the

                    Subtitle I--Sense of Congress Provisions

    SEC. 5599C. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE STATUS OF CHINA.

        It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the People's Republic of China is a fully industrialized
            nation and no longer a developing nation; and
                (2) any international agreement that provides or accords
            China a favorable status or treatment as a ``developing nation''
            should be updated to reflect the status of China.
    SEC. 5599D. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ISRAEL.

        It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) since 1948, Israel has been one of the strongest friends
            and allies of the United States;
                (2) Israel is a stable, democratic country in a region often
            marred by turmoil;
                (3) it is essential to the strategic interest of the United
            States to continue to offer security assistance and related
            support to Israel; and
                (4) such assistance and support is especially vital as
            Israel confronts a number of potential challenges at the present
            time, including continuing threats from Iran.

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3401]]

    SEC. 5599E. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO THE NATO PARLIAMENTARY
                                ASSEMBLY.

        It is the sense of Congress that the United States should--
                (1) proactively engage with the North Atlantic Treaty
            Organization (NATO) Parliamentary Assembly (PA) and its member
            delegations;
                (2) communicate with and educate the public on the benefits
            and importance of NATO and NATO PA; and

    SEC. 5599F. CONDEMNING DETENTION AND INDICTMENT OF RUSSIAN
                                OPPOSITION LEADER VLADIMIR
                                VLADIMIROVICH KARA-MURZA.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-Murza (referred to in this
            section as ``Mr. Kara-Murza'') has tirelessly worked for decades
            to advance the cause of freedom, democracy, and human rights for
            the people of the Russian Federation.
                (2) In retaliation for his advocacy, two attempts have been
            made on Mr. Kara-Murza's life, as--
                        (A) on May 26, 2015, Mr. Kara-Murza fell ill with
                    symptoms indicative of poisoning and was hospitalized;
                    and
                        (B) on February 2, 2017, he fell ill with similar
                    symptoms and was placed in a medically induced coma.
                (3) Independent investigations conducted by Bellingcat, the
            Insider, and Der Spiegel found that the same unit of the Federal
            Security Service of the Russian Federation responsible for
            poisoning Mr. Kara-Murza was responsible for poisoning Russian
            opposition leader Alexei Navalny and activists Timur Kuashev,
            Ruslan Magomedragimov, and Nikita Isayev.
                (4) On February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin launched another
            unprovoked, unjustified, and illegal invasion into Ukraine in
            contravention of the obligations freely undertaken by the
            Russian Federation to respect the territorial integrity of
            Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, the Minsk
            protocols of 2014 and 2015, and international law.
                (5) On March 5, 2022, Vladimir Putin signed a law
            criminalizing the distribution of truthful statements about the
            invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and mandating up
            to 15 years in prison for such offenses.
                (6) Since February 24, 2022, Mr. Kara-Murza has used his
            voice and platform to join more than 15,000 citizens of the
            Russian Federation in peacefully protesting the war against
            Ukraine and millions more who silently oppose the war.
                (7) On April 11, 2022, five police officers arrested Mr.
            Kara-Murza in front of his home and denied his right to an
            attorney, and the next day Mr. Kara-Murza was sentenced to 15
            days in prison for disobeying a police order.
                (8) On April 22, 2022, the Investigative Committee of the
            Russian Federation charged Mr. Kara-Murza with violations under
            the law signed on March 5, 2022, for his fact-based statements
            condemning the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3402]]

                (9) Mr. Kara-Murza was then placed into pretrial detention
            and ordered to be held until at least June 12, 2022.
                (10) If convicted of those charges, Mr. Kara-Murza faces
            detention in a penitentiary system that human rights
            nongovernmental organizations have criticized for widespread
            torture, ill-treatment, and suspicious deaths of prisoners.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that Congress--
                (1) condemns the unjust detention and indicting of Russian
            opposition leader Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-Murza, who has
            courageously stood up to oppression in the Russian Federation;
                (2) expresses solidarity with Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-
            Murza, his family, and all individuals in the Russian Federation
            imprisoned for exercising their fundamental freedoms of speech,
            assembly, and belief;
                (3) urges the United States Government and other allied
            governments to work to secure the immediate release of Vladimir
            Vladimirovich Kara-Murza, Alexei Navalny, and other citizens of
            the Russian Federation imprisoned for opposing the regime of
            Vladimir Putin and the war against Ukraine; and
                (4) calls on the President to increase support provided by
            the United States Government for those advocating for democracy
            and independent media in the Russian Federation, which Vladimir
            Vladimirovich Kara-Murza has worked to advance.
    SEC. 5599G. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING DEVELOPMENT OF NUCLEAR
                                WEAPONS BY IRAN.

        Congress--
                (1) reiterates its commitment to ensuring Iran will never
            acquire a nuclear weapon;
                (2) supports the important work of the International Atomic
            Energy Agency (IAEA) in safeguarding nuclear material around the
            globe;
                (3) condemns Iran for its lack of transparency and
            meaningful cooperation with the IAEA on the unresolved matter of
            uranium particles discovered at undeclared sites in Iran and
            additional escalatory actions related to its nuclear program;
            and

    SEC. 5603. <<NOTE: 42 USC 5170 note.>>  PRELIMINARY DAMAGE
                              ASSESSMENT.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) Preliminary damage assessments play a critical role in
            assessing and validating the impact and magnitude of a disaster.
                (2) Through the preliminary damage assessment process,
            representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency
            validate information gathered by State and local officials that
            serves as the basis for disaster assistance requests.
                (3) Various factors can impact the duration of a preliminary
            damage assessment and the corresponding submission of a major
            disaster request, however, the average time between when a
            disaster occurs, and the submission of a corresponding disaster
            request has been found to be approximately twenty days longer
            for flooding disasters.
                (4) With communities across the country facing increased
            instances of catastrophic flooding and other extreme weather
            events, accurate and efficient preliminary damage assessments
            have become critically important to the relief process for
            impacted States and municipalities.

        (b) Report to Congress.--
                (1) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date of
            enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Federal
            Emergency Management Agency shall submit to Congress a report
            describing the preliminary damage assessment process, as
            supported by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the 5
            years before the date of enactment of this Act.
                (2) Contents.--The report described in paragraph (1) shall
            contain the following:
                        (A) The process of the Federal Emergency Management
                    Agency for deploying personnel to support preliminary
                    damage assessments.
                        (B) The number of Agency staff participating on
                    disaster assessment teams.
                        (C) The training and experience of such staff
                    described in subparagraph (B).
                        (D) A calculation of the average amount of time
                    disaster assessment teams described in subparagraph (A)
                    are deployed to a disaster area.
                        (E) The efforts of the Agency to maintain a
                    consistent liaison between the Agency and State, local,
                    tribal, and territorial officials within a disaster
                    area.

        (c) Preliminary Damage Assessment.--
                (1) In general.--Not later than 6 months after the date of
            enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Federal
            Emergency Management Agency shall convene an advisory panel
            consisting of emergency management personnel employed by State,
            local, territorial, or tribal authorities, and the
            representative organizations of such personnel to assist the
            Agency in improving critical components of the preliminary
            damage assessment process.

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3406]]

                    employed by State, local, territorial, or tribal
                    authorities within each region.
                        (B) Inclusion on panel.--To the furthest extent
                    practicable, representation on the advisory panel shall
                    include emergency management personnel from both rural
                    and urban jurisdictions.
                (3) Considerations.--The advisory panel convened under
            paragraph (1) shall--
                        (A) consider--
                              (i) establishing a training regime to ensure
                          preliminary damage assessments are conducted and

                          by the Agency for omissions of pertinent
                          information or language that conflicts with other
                          statutory requirements; and
                        (B) identify opportunities for streamlining the
                    consideration of preliminary damage assessments by the
                    Agency, including eliminating duplicative paperwork
                    requirements and ensuring consistent communication and
                    decision making among Agency staff.
                (4) Interim report.--Not later than 18 months after the date
            of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall submit to
            Congress a report regarding the findings of the advisory panel,

            findings of the advisory panel, and additional legislation that
            may be necessary to implement the findings of the advisory

                        (B) the identification of any additional challenges
                    to the preliminary damage assessment process, including
                    whether specific disasters result in longer preliminary
                    damage assessments; and
                        (C) any additional legislative recommendations
                    necessary to improve the preliminary damage assessment

     Subtitle D <<NOTE: Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of
    2022. 28 USC 601 note.>> --Judicial Security and Privacy
    SEC. 5931. SHORT TITLE.

        This subtitle may be cited as the ``Daniel Anderl Judicial Security
    and Privacy Act of 2022''.
    SEC. 5932. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3459]]

                (1) Members of the Federal judiciary perform the important
            function of interpreting the Constitution of the United States
            and administering justice in a fair and impartial manner.
                (2) In recent years, partially as a result of the rise in
            the use of social media and online access to information,
            members of the Federal judiciary have been exposed to an
            increased number of personal threats in connection to their
            role. The ease of access to free or inexpensive sources of
            covered information has considerably lowered the effort required
            for malicious actors to discover where individuals live and
            where they spend leisure hours and to find information about
            their family members. Such threats have included calling a judge
            a traitor with references to mass shootings and serial killings,
            a murder attempt on a justice of the Supreme Court of the United
            States, calling for an ``angry mob'' to gather outside a home of
            a judge and, in reference to a judge on the court of appeals of
            the United States, stating how easy it would be to ``get them''.
                (3) Between 2015 and 2019, threats and other inappropriate
            communications against Federal judges and other judiciary
            personnel increased from 926 in 2015 to approximately 4,449 in
            2019.
                (4) Over the past decade, several members of the Federal
            judiciary have experienced acts of violence against themselves
            or a family member in connection to their Federal judiciary
            role, including the murder in 2005 of the family of Joan Lefkow,
            a judge for the United States District Court for the Northern
            District of Illinois.
                (5) On Sunday July 19, 2020, an assailant went to the home
            of Esther Salas, a judge for the United States District Court
            for the District of New Jersey, impersonating a package delivery
            driver, opening fire upon arrival, and killing Daniel Anderl,
            the 20-year-old only son of Judge Salas, and seriously wounding
            Mark Anderl, her husband.
                (6) In the aftermath of the recent tragedy that occurred to
            Judge Salas and in response to the continuous rise of threats
            against members of the Federal judiciary, there is an immediate
            need for enhanced security procedures and increased availability
            of tools to protect Federal judges and their families.

        (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subtitle is to improve the safety
    and security of Federal judges, including senior, recalled, or retired
    Federal judges, and their immediate family members to ensure Federal
    judges are able to administer justice fairly without fear of personal
    reprisal from individuals affected by the decisions they make in the
    course of carrying out their public duties.

                          or day care by an at-risk individual; or

        (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Ukraine
    Invasion War Crimes Deterrence and Accountability Act''.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) in its premeditated, unprovoked, unjustified, and
            unlawful full-scale invasion of Ukraine that commenced on
            February 24, 2022, the military of the Government of the Russian
            Federation under the direction of President Vladimir Putin has
            committed war crimes that include but are not limited to--
                        (A) the deliberate targeting of civilians and
                    injuring or killing of noncombatants;

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3483]]

                        (B) the deliberate targeting and attacking of
                    hospitals, schools, and other non-military buildings
                    dedicated to religion, art, science, or charitable
                    purposes, such as the bombing of a theater in Mariupol
                    that served as a shelter for noncombatants and had the
                    word ``children'' written clearly in the Russian
                    language outside;
                        (C) the indiscriminate bombardment of undefended
                    dwellings and buildings;
                        (D) the wanton destruction of property not justified
                    by military necessity;
                        (E) unlawful civilian deportations;
                        (F) the taking of hostages; and
                        (G) rape, or sexual assault or abuse;
                (2) the use of chemical weapons by the Government of the
            Russian Federation in Ukraine would constitute a war crime, and
            engaging in any military preparations to use chemical weapons or
            to develop, produce, stockpile, or retain chemical weapons is
            prohibited by the Chemical Weapons Convention, to which the
            Russian Federation is a signatory;
                (3) Vladimir Putin has a long record of committing acts of
            aggression, systematic abuses of human rights, and acts that
            constitute war crimes or other atrocities both at home and
            abroad, and the brutality and scale of these actions, including
            in the Russian Federation republic of Chechnya, Georgia, Syria,
            and Ukraine, demonstrate the extent to which his regime is
            willing to flout international norms and values in the pursuit
            of its objectives;
                (4) Vladimir Putin has previously sanctioned the use of
            chemical weapons at home and abroad, including in the poisonings
            of Russian spy turned double agent Sergei Skripal and his
            daughter Yulia and leading Russian opposition figure Aleksey
            Navalny, and aided and abetted the use of chemical weapons by
            President Bashar al-Assad in Syria; and
                (5) in 2014, the Government of the Russian Federation
            initiated its unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine which
            resulted in its illegal occupation of Crimea, the unrecognized
            declaration of independence by the so-called ``Donetsk People's
            Republic'' and ``Luhansk People's Republic'' by Russia-backed
            proxies, and numerous human rights violations and deaths of
            civilians in Ukraine.

        (c) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
                (1) to collect, analyze, and preserve evidence and
            information related to war crimes and other atrocities committed

            international courts and tribunals prosecuting those responsible
            for such crimes consistent with applicable law, including with
            the American Service Members' Protection Act of 2002 (22 U.S.C.
            7421 et seq.);
                (2) to help deter the commission of war crimes and other
            atrocities in Ukraine by publicizing to the maximum possible
            extent, including among Russian and other foreign military
            commanders and troops in Ukraine, efforts to identify and
            prosecute those responsible for the commission of war crimes
            during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine that began on
            February 24, 2022; and

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3484]]

                (3) to continue efforts to identify, deter, and pursue
            accountability for war crimes and other atrocities committed
            around the world and by other perpetrators, and to leverage
            international cooperation and best practices in this regard with

                        (A) a description of the gray zone assets of Russia;
                        (B) an identification of any opportunities to hold
                    such gray zone assets at risk, as a method of
                    influencing the behavior of Russia; and

                    Russia.
                        (C) The likelihood that holding the gray zone asset
                    at risk will influence the behavior of Russia.
                        (D) The likelihood that holding the gray asset at
                    risk, or degrading the asset, will affect any attempt of
                    Russia to use force to change existing borders or

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3550]]

                      Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters

    SEC. 6521. REPORT ON ASSESSING WILL TO FIGHT.

        (a) Definitions.--In this section:
                (1) Appropriate congressional committees.--The term
            ``appropriate congressional committees'' means the following:
                        (A) The congressional intelligence committees.
                        (B) The Committee on Foreign Relations, the
                    Committee on Armed Services, and the Subcommittee on
                    Defense of the Committee on Appropriations of the
                    Senate.
                        (C) The Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Committee
                    on Armed Services, and the Subcommittee on Defense of
                    the Committee on Appropriations of the House of
                    Representatives.
                (2) Military will to fight.--The term ``military will to
            fight'' means, with respect to the military of a country, the
            disposition and decision to fight, act, or persevere as needed.
                (3) National will to fight.--The term ``national will to
            fight'' means, with respect to the government of a country, the
            resolve to conduct sustained military and other operations for
            an objective even when the expectation of success decreases or
            the need for significant political, economic, and military
            sacrifices increases.

        (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) According to a study by the RAND corporation, ``will to
            fight'' is poorly analyzed and the least understood aspect of
            war.
                (2) In testimony before the Select Committee on Intelligence
            of the Senate in May 2022, top intelligence officials of the
            United States indicated that although the intelligence community
            accurately anticipated Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the
            intelligence community did not accurately assess the will of
            Ukrainian forces to fight in opposition to a Russian invasion or
            that the Ukrainian forces would succeed in averting a rapid
            Russian military occupation of Kyiv.
                (3) According to the RAND corporation, the intelligence
            community estimated that the Afghan government's forces could
            hold out against the Taliban for as long as 2 years if all
            ground forces of the United States were withdrawn. This estimate
            was revised in June 2021 to reflect an intelligence community
            view that Afghanistan's military collapse could come in 6 to 12
            months. In August 2021, the Afghan government fell within days
            after the ground forces of the United States were withdrawn.
                (4) Similarly, the rapid advance of the Islamic State in
            Iraq and Syria and near-total collapse of the Iraqi Security
            Forces in 2014 appeared to take the policymakers of the United
            States by surprise.
                (5) The apparent gaps in these analyses had important
            implications for policy decisions of the United States toward
            Russia and Afghanistan, and suggest a need for further
            examination of how the intelligence community assesses a foreign
            military's will to fight.

        (c) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment
    of this Act, the Director of National Intelligence, acting through the
    National Intelligence Council and in coordination with

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3551]]

    the heads of the elements of the intelligence community that the
    Director determines appropriate, shall submit to the appropriate
    congressional committees a report examining the extent to which analyses
    of the military will to fight and the national will to fight informed
    the all-source analyses of the intelligence community regarding how the
    armed forces and governments of Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Iraq would
    perform at key junctures.
        (d) Elements.--The report under subsection (c) shall include the
    following:
                (1) The methodology of the intelligence community for
            measuring the military will to fight and the national will to
            fight of a foreign country.
                (2) The extent to which analysts of the intelligence
            community applied such methodology when assessing the military
            will to fight and the national will to fight of--
                        (A) Afghanistan following the April 2021
                    announcement of the full withdrawal of the United States
                    Armed Forces;
                        (B) Iraq in the face of the rapid emergence and
                    advancement in 2014 of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria;
                    and
                        (C) Ukraine and Russia during the initial phase of
                    the invasion and march toward Kyiv by Russia in February
                    2022.
                (3) The extent to which--
                        (A) the assessments described in paragraph (2)
                    depended on the observations of personnel of the United
                    States Armed Forces who had trained Afghan, Iraqi, and
                    Ukrainian armed forces; and
                        (B) such observations reflected any standardized,
                    objective methodology.
                (4) Whether shortcomings in assessing the military will to
            fight and the national will to fight may have affected the
            capacity of the intelligence community to provide ``early
            warning'' about the collapse of government forces in Iraq and
            Afghanistan.
                (5) The extent to which ``red teaming'' was used to test the
            assessments described in paragraph (2).
                (6) The extent to which dissenting opinions of intelligence
            analysts were highlighted in final written products presented to
            senior policymakers of the United States.
                (7) The extent to which analysts and supervisors adhered to
            the policies, procedures, directives, and best practices of the
            intelligence community.
                (8) <<NOTE: Recommenda- tions.>>  Recommendations for
            analyses by the intelligence community going forward to
            incorporate lessons learned and enhance the quality of future
            analytical products to more accurately reflect the military will
            to fight and the national will to fight and improve the capacity
            of the intelligence community to accurately predict the success
            or failure of the armed forces of a foreign country.

        (e) <<NOTE: Classified information.>>  Annex.--In submitting the
    report under subsection (c) to the congressional intelligence
    committees, the Subcommittee on Defense of the Committee on
    Appropriations of the Senate, and the Subcommittee on Defense of the

    Intelligence, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense and the
    heads of the elements of the intelligence community, shall develop and
    submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a single protocol
    setting forth policies and procedures relating to authorizations to
    operate for Department of Defense or intelligence community systems held
    by industry providers.

        (c) Limitation.--The protocol under subsection (b) shall be limited
    to authorizations to operate for Department of Defense and intelligence
    community systems.
        (d) Elements.--The protocol under subsection (b) shall include, at a
    minimum, the following:
                (1) A policy for reciprocal recognition, as appropriate,
            among the elements of the intelligence community and the
            Department of Defense of authorizations to operate held by

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3571]]

            commercial providers. Such reciprocal recognition shall be
            limited to authorizations to operate for systems that collect,
            process, maintain, use, share, disseminate, or dispose of data
            classified at an equal or lower classification level than the
            original authorization.
                (2) <<NOTE: Procedures.>>  Procedures under which, subject
            to such criteria as may be prescribed by the Director of
            National Intelligence jointly with the Secretary of Defense, a
            provider that holds an authorization to operate for a Department
            of Defense or intelligence community system may provide to the
            head of an element of the intelligence community or the
            Department of Defense the most recently updated version of any
            software, data, or application for use on such system without

            authorization.
                (3) <<NOTE: Procedures.>> Procedures for the review,
            renewal, and revocation of authorizations to operate held by
            commercial providers, including procedures for maintaining

            as may be prescribed by the Director of National Intelligence,
            in coordination with the Secretary of Defense. Such procedures
            may encourage greater use of modern security practices already
            being adopted by the Department of Defense and other Federal
            agencies, such as continuous authorization with system security
            focused on continuous monitoring of risk and security controls,
            active system defense, and the use of an approved mechanism for
            secure and continuous delivery of software (commonly referred to
            as ``DevSecOps'').
                (4) <<NOTE: Requirements.>>  A policy for the harmonization
            of documentation requirements for commercial providers
            submitting applications for authorizations to operate, with the
            goal of a uniform requirement across the Department of Defense
            and the elements of the intelligence community (subject to
            exceptions established by the Director and the Secretary). Such
            policy shall include the following requirements:
                        (A) A requirement for the full disclosure of
                    evidence in the reciprocity process across the
                    Department of Defense and the elements of the
                    intelligence community.
                        (B) With respect to a system with an existing
                    authorization to operate, a requirement for approval by
                    the Chief Information Officer or a designated official
                    (as the head of the respective element of the
                    intelligence community determines appropriate) for such
                    system to operate at an equal or higher level
                    classification level, to be granted prior to the
                    performance of an additional security assessment with
                    respect to such system, and regardless of which element
                    of the intelligence community or Department of Defense
                    granted the original authorization.
                (5) <<NOTE: Requirement.>>  A requirement to establish a
            joint secure portal of the Office of the Director of National
            Intelligence and the Department of Defense for the maintenance
            of records, applications, and system requirements for
            authorizations to operate.
                (6) <<NOTE: Plan.>>  A plan to examine, and if necessary,
            address, the shortage of intelligence community and Department
            of Defense personnel authorized to support and grant an
            authorization to operate. Such plan shall include--

    Contractors.--Unless the Director of National Intelligence determines
    the source of the financing of a contractor poses a national security
    risk, such source of financing may not be taken into consideration in

        (a) In General.--In carrying out repair or maintenance activity of a
    Federal jetty or breakwater associated with an authorized navigation
    project, the Secretary shall, notwithstanding the authorized dimensions
    of the jetty or breakwater, ensure that such repair or maintenance
    activity is sufficient to meet the authorized purpose of such project,
    including ensuring that any harbor or inland harbor associated with the
    project is protected from projected changes in wave action or height
    (including changes that result from relative sea level change over the
    useful life of the project).
        (b) Classification of Activity.--The Secretary may not classify any
    repair or maintenance activity of a Federal jetty or breakwater carried
    out under subsection (a) as major rehabilitation of such jetty or
    breakwater--
                (1) <<NOTE: Determinations.>>  if the Secretary determines

                    including changes that result from relative sea level
                    change, will diminish the functionality of the jetty or
                    breakwater to meet the authorized purpose of the
                    project; and
                        (B) such repair or maintenance activity is necessary
                    to restore such functionality; or
                (2) if--
                        (A) the Secretary has not carried out regular and
                    routine Federal maintenance activity at the jetty or
                    breakwater; and
                        (B) the structural integrity of the jetty or
                    breakwater is degraded as a result of a lack of such
                    regular and routine Federal maintenance activity.

    notwithstanding the authorized dimensions of the structure or project,
    to a level sufficient to meet the authorized purpose of such structure
    or project, whichever provides greater protection, when, in the
    discretion of the Chief of Engineers, such repair and restoration is
    warranted for the adequate functioning of the structure or project for
    hurricane or shore protection, including to ensure the structure or
    project is functioning adequately to protect against projected changes
    in wave action or height or storm surge (including changes that result
    from relative sea level change over the useful life of the structure or
    project), subject to the condition that the Chief of Engineers may, if
    requested by the non-Federal sponsor, include modifications to the
    structure or project (including the addition of new project features) to
    address major deficiencies, increase resilience, increase benefits from
    the reduction of damages from inundation, wave action, or

            rising water levels in the Great Lakes solely on the basis that
            the damage is caused by erosion.
                (2) Federal share.--Assistance provided by the Secretary
            pursuant to a request described in paragraph (1) shall be at
            Federal expense if the assistance is for the construction of

                    regard to higher precipitation levels, including due to
                    changing climatic conditions and extreme weather events;
                        (D) the potential costs and benefits (including
                    environmental benefits and implications for levee-
                    protected communities) from modifying the applicable
                    levee system to restore connections with adjacent
                    floodplains; and
                        (E) available studies, information, literature, or

                              THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS.

        (a) In General.--The Secretary shall carry out an assessment of
    forest, rangeland, and watershed restoration services on lands owned by
    the Corps of Engineers, including an assessment of whether the provision
    of such services on such lands by non-Federal interests through good
    neighbor agreements would be in the best interests of the United States.

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3774]]

        (b) Considerations.--In carrying out the assessment under subsection
    (a), the Secretary shall--
                (1) describe the forest, rangeland, and watershed
            restoration services provided by the Secretary on lands owned by
            the Corps of Engineers;
                (2) assess whether such services, including efforts to
            reduce hazardous fuels and to restore and improve forest,
            rangeland, and watershed health (including the health of fish
            and wildlife habitats) would be enhanced by authorizing the
            Secretary to enter into a good neighbor agreement with a non-
            Federal interest;
                (3) describe the process for ensuring that Federal
            requirements for land management plans for forests on lands
            owned by the Corps of Engineers remain in effect under good
            neighbor agreements;
                (4) assess whether Congress should authorize the Secretary
            to enter into a good neighbor agreement with a non-Federal
            interest to provide forest, rangeland, and watershed restoration
            services on lands owned by the Corps of Engineers, including by
            assessing any interest expressed by a non-Federal interest to

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the growth of subnational cooperation has enabled States
            and municipalities to play an increasingly significant role in
            foreign policy and complement the efforts of the Department;
                (2) the Department's recently established Unit for
            Subnational Diplomacy will play a critical role in leveraging
            the Department's resources to support State and municipal
            governments in conducting subnational engagement and increasing
            cooperation with foreign allies and partners; and
                (3) in facilitating such subnational engagements, the
            Department should engage with a broad array of United States
            cities without regard to their population size or location;

        (c) Strategic Plan.--The Special Representative for Subnational
    Diplomacy shall submit a strategic plan to the appropriate congressional
    committees for the operations of the Unit for Subnational Diplomacy,
    including the Department's plans for--
                (1) supporting subnational engagements involving
            policymakers from urban and rural areas to improve United States
            foreign policy effectiveness;
                (2) enhancing the awareness, understanding, and involvement
            of United States citizens, including citizens residing in urban
            and rural areas, in the foreign policy process;
                (3) countering subnational diplomacy efforts from
            adversarial nations;
                (4) strengthening engagement with foreign subnational
            governments; and
                (5) any other operations that the Secretary determines to be
            relevant.

        (d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this subsection may be
    construed to preclude--
                (1) the Unit for Subnational Diplomacy Office from being
            elevated to a bureau within the Department; or

                              1999.

        (a) <<NOTE: 22 USC 4801 note.>> Short Title.--This section may be
    cited as the ``Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of
    2022''.

        (b) <<NOTE: 22 USC 4865 note.>> Findings.--Congress makes the
    following findings:
                (1) The Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act
            of 1999 (title VI of division A of appendix G of Public Law 106-
            113) was a necessary response to bombings on August 7, 1998, at
            the United States embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and in Dar es
            Salaam, Tanzania, that were destroyed by simultaneously
            exploding bombs. The resulting explosions killed 220 persons and
            injured more than 4,000 others. Twelve Americans and 40 Kenyan
            and Tanzanian employees of the United States Foreign Service
            were killed in the attacks.
                (2) Those bombings, followed by the expeditionary diplomatic
            efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, demonstrated the need to
            prioritize the security of United States posts and personnel
            abroad above other considerations.
                (3) Between 1999 and 2022, the risk calculus of the
            Department impacted the ability of United States diplomats
            around the world to advance the interests of the United States
            through access to local populations, leaders, and places.

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3880]]

                (4) America's competitors and adversaries do not have the
            same restrictions that United States diplomats have, especially
            in critically important medium-threat and high-threat posts.
                (5) The Department's 2021 Overseas Security Panel report
            states that--
                        (A) the requirement for setback and collocation of
                    diplomatic posts under paragraphs (2) and (3) of section
                    606(a) of the Secure Embassy Construction and
                    Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)) has led
                    to skyrocketing costs of new embassies and consulates;
                    and
                        (B) the locations of such posts have become less
                    desirable, creating an extremely suboptimal nexus that
                    further hinders United States diplomats who are willing
                    to accept more risk in order to advance United States
                    interests.

        (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the setback and collocation requirements referred to in
            subsection (b)(5)(A), even with available waivers, no longer
            provide the security such requirements used to provide because
            of advancement in technologies, such as remote controlled
            drones, that can evade walls and other such static barriers;
                (2) the Department should focus on creating performance
            security standards that--
                        (A) attempt to keep the setback requirements of
                    diplomatic posts as limited as possible; and
                        (B) provide diplomats access to local populations as
                    much as possible, while still providing a necessary
                    level of security;
                (3) collocation of diplomatic facilities is often not
            feasible or advisable, particularly for public diplomacy spaces
            whose mission is to reach and be accessible to wide sectors of
            the public, including in countries with repressive governments,
            since such spaces are required to permit the foreign public to
            enter and exit the space easily and openly;
                (4) the Bureau of Diplomatic Security should--
                        (A) fully utilize the waiver process provided under
                    paragraphs (2)(B) and (3)(B) of section 606(a) of the
                    Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of
                    1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)); and
                        (B) appropriately exercise such waiver process as a
                    tool to right-size the appropriate security footing at
                    each diplomatic post rather than only approving waivers
                    in extreme circumstances;
                (5) the return of great power competition requires--
                        (A) United States diplomats to do all they can to
                    outperform our adversaries; and
                        (B) the Department to better optimize use of
                    taxpayer funding to advance United States national
                    interests; and
                (6) this section will better enable United States diplomats
            to compete in the 21st century, while saving United States
            taxpayers millions in reduced property and maintenance costs at
            embassies and consulates abroad.

        (d) Definition of United States Diplomatic Facility.--Section 603 of
    the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (title
    VI of division A of appendix G of Public Law 106-113) <<NOTE: 22 USC
    4865 note.>> is amended to read as follows:

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3881]]

    ``SEC. 603. UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC FACILITY DEFINED.

        ``In this title, the terms `United States diplomatic facility' and
    `diplomatic facility' mean any chancery, consulate, or other office

            Vienna April 24, 1963, and was notified to the host government

                              2022.>> DIPLOMATIC SUPPORT AND SECURITY.

        (a) <<NOTE: 22 USC 4801 note.>> Short Title.--This section may be
    cited as the ``Diplomatic Support and Security Act of 2022''.

        (b) <<NOTE: 22 USC 4801 note.>> Findings.--Congress makes the
    following findings:
                (1) A robust overseas diplomatic presence is part of an
            effective foreign policy, particularly in volatile environments

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3883]]

            where a flexible and timely diplomatic response can be decisive
            in preventing and addressing conflict.
                (2) Diplomats routinely put themselves and their families at
            great personal risk to serve their country overseas where they
            face threats related to international terrorism, violent
            conflict, and public health.
                (3) The Department has a remarkable record of protecting
            personnel while enabling an enormous amount of global diplomatic
            activity, often in unsecure and remote places and facing a
            variety of evolving risks and threats. With support from
            Congress, the Department has revised policy, improved physical
            security through retrofitting and replacing old facilities,
            deployed additional security personnel and armored vehicles, and
            greatly enhanced training requirements and training facilities,
            including the new Foreign Affairs Security Training Center in
            Blackstone, Virginia.
                (4) Diplomatic missions rely on robust staffing and
            ambitious external engagement to advance United States interests
            as diverse as competing with China's malign influence around the
            world, fighting terrorism and transnational organized crime,
            preventing and addressing violent conflict and humanitarian
            disasters, promoting United States businesses and trade,
            protecting the rights of marginalized groups, addressing climate
            change, and preventing pandemic disease.
                (5) Efforts to protect personnel overseas have often
            resulted in inhibiting diplomatic activity and limiting
            engagement between embassy personnel and local governments and
            populations.
                (6) Given that Congress currently provides annual
            appropriations in excess of $1,900,000,000 for embassy security,
            construction, and maintenance, the Department should be able to
            ensure a robust overseas presence without inhibiting the ability
            of diplomats to--
                        (A) meet outside United States secured facilities
                    with foreign leaders to explain, defend, and advance
                    United States priorities;
                        (B) understand and report on foreign political,
                    social, and economic conditions through meeting and
                    interacting with community officials outside of United
                    States facilities;
                        (C) provide United States citizen services; and
                        (D) collaborate and, at times, compete with other
                    diplomatic missions, particularly those, such as that of
                    the People's Republic of China, that do not have
                    restrictions on meeting locations.
                (7) Given these stakes, Congress has a responsibility to
            empower, support, and hold the Department accountable for
            implementing an aggressive strategy to ensure a robust overseas
            presence that mitigates potential risks and adequately considers
            the myriad direct and indirect consequences of a lack of
            diplomatic presence.

        (c) Encouraging Expeditionary Diplomacy.--
                (1) Purpose.--Section 102(b) of the Diplomatic Security Act
            of 1986 (22 U.S.C. 4801(b)) is amended--
                        (A) by amending paragraph (3) to read as follows:
                ``(3) to promote strengthened security measures,
            institutionalize a culture of learning, and, in the case of

            gross negligence or breach of duty, recommend that the Secretary
            investigate accountability for United States Government
            personnel with security-related responsibilities under chief of
            mission authority;'';
                        (B) by redesignating paragraphs (4) and (5) as
                    paragraphs (5) and (6), respectively; and
                        (C) by inserting after paragraph (3) the following:
                ``(4) to support a culture of risk management, instead of
            risk avoidance, that enables the Department of State to pursue
            its vital goals with full knowledge that it is neither desirable
            nor possible for the Department to avoid all risks;''.
                (2) Briefings on embassy security.--Section 105(a)(1) of the
            Diplomatic Security Act (22 U.S.C. 4804(a)) is amended--
                        (A) by striking ``any plans to open or reopen a high
                    risk, high threat post'' and inserting ``progress
                    towards opening or reopening a high risk, high threat
                    post, and the risk to national security of the continued
                    closure or any suspension of operations and remaining
                    barriers to doing so'';
                        (B) in subparagraph (A), by inserting ``the risk to
                    United States national security of the post's continued
                    closure or suspension of operations,'' after ``national
                    security of the United States,''; and
                        (C) in subparagraph (C), by inserting ``the type and
                    level of security threats such post could encounter,
                    and'' before ``security `tripwires' ''.

        (d) Security Review Committees.--Section 301 of the Diplomatic
    Security Act (22 U.S.C. 4831) is amended--
                (1) in the section heading, by striking ``accountability
            review boards'' and inserting ``security review committees'';
                (2) in subsection (a)--
                        (A) by amending paragraph (1) to read as follows:
                ``(1) <<NOTE: Reports.>> Convening the security review
            committee.--In any case of a serious security incident involving
            loss of life, serious injury, or significant destruction of

            `Serious Security Incident'), and in any case of a serious
            breach of security involving intelligence activities of a
            foreign government directed at a United States Government
            mission abroad, the Secretary of State shall convene a Security
            Review Committee, which shall issue a report providing a full
            account of what occurred, consistent with section 304.'';
                        (B) by redesignating paragraphs (2) and (3) as
                    paragraphs (3) and (4), respectively;

                              PRESENCE IN VANUATU.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The Pacific Islands are vital to United States national
            security and national interests in the Indo-Pacific region and
            globally.
                (2) The Pacific Islands region spans 15 percent of the
            world's surface area and controls access to open waters in the
            Central Pacific, sea lanes to the Western Hemisphere, supply
            lines to United States forward-deployed forces in East Asia, and
            economically important fisheries.
                (3) The Pacific Islands region is home to the State of
            Hawaii, 11 United States territories, United States Naval Base
            Guam, and United States Andersen Air Force Base.
                (4) Pacific Island countries cooperate with the United
            States and United States partners on maritime security and
            efforts to stop illegal, unreported, and destructive fishing.
                (5) The Pacific Islands are rich in biodiversity and are on
            the frontlines of environmental challenges and climate issues.
                (6) The People's Republic of China seeks to increase its
            influence in the Pacific Islands region, including through
            infrastructure development under the People's Republic of
            China's One Belt, One Road Initiative and its new security
            agreement with the Solomon Islands.
                (7) The United States closed its embassy in the Solomon
            Islands in 1993.
                (8) The United States Embassy in Papua New Guinea manages
            the diplomatic affairs of the United States to the Republic of
            Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands, and the United States Embassy
            in Fiji manages the diplomatic affairs of the United States to

            important contributions to American society and culture, and
            musicians and industry professionals in the United States can
            offer valuable expertise to young musical artists around the
            world; and
                (4) the United States Government should promote exchange
            programs, especially programs that leverage the expertise and
            resources of the private sector, that give young musical artists
            from around the world the chance--

    SEC. 10201. <<NOTE: 16 USC 1468 note.>>  FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The ocean and coastal waters and the Great Lakes of the
            United States are foundational to the economy, security, global
            competitiveness, and well-being of the United States and
            continuously serve the people of the United States and other
            countries as an important source of food, energy, economic
            productivity, recreation, beauty, and enjoyment.
                (2) Over many years, the resource productivity and water
            quality of the ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas of the
            United States have been diminished by pollution, increasing
            population demands, economic development, and natural and man-
            made hazard events, both acute and chronic.
                (3) The ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas of the United
            States are managed by State and Federal resource agencies and
            Indian Tribes and regulated on an interstate and regional scale
            by various overlapping Federal authorities, thereby creating a
            significant need for interstate coordination to enhance regional
            priorities, including the ecological and economic health of
            those areas.
                (4) Indian Tribes have unique expertise and knowledge
            important for the stewardship of the ocean and coastal waters
            and the Great Lakes of the United States.

        (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are as follows:
                (1) To complement and expand cooperative voluntary efforts
            intended to manage, conserve, and restore ocean, coastal, and
            Great Lakes areas spanning across multiple State and Indian
            Tribe jurisdictions.
                (2) To expand Federal support for monitoring, data
            management, restoration, research, and conservation activities
            in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas.
                (3) To commit the United States to a comprehensive
            cooperative program to achieve improved water quality in, and
            improvements in the productivity of living resources of, oceans,
            coastal, and Great Lakes ecosystems.
                (4) To authorize Regional Ocean Partnerships as
            intergovernmental coordinators for shared regional priorities
            among States and Indian Tribes relating to the collaborative
            management of the large marine ecosystems, thereby reducing
            duplication of efforts and maximizing opportunities to leverage
            support in the ocean and coastal regions.
                (5) To empower States to take a lead role in managing
            oceans, coastal, and Great Lakes areas.

    [[Page 136 STAT. 3962]]

                (6) To incorporate rights of Indian Tribes in the management
            of oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes resources and provide
            resources to support Indian Tribe participation in and
            engagement with Regional Ocean Partnerships.
                (7) To enable Regional Ocean Partnerships, or designated
            fiscal management entities of such partnerships, to receive
            Federal funding to conduct the scientific research,
            conservation, and restoration activities, and priority
            coordination on shared regional priorities necessary to achieve
            the purposes described in paragraphs (1) through (6).

                     TITLE CIII--NATIONAL OCEAN EXPLORATION

    SEC. 10301. <<NOTE: 33 USC 3408 note.>>  FINDINGS.

        Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The health and resilience of the ocean are vital to the
            security and economy of the United States and to the lives of
            the people of the United States.
                (2) The United States depends on the ocean to regulate
            weather and climate, to sustain and protect the diversity of
            life, for maritime shipping, for national defense, and for food,
            energy, medicine, recreation, and other services essential to
            the people of the United States and all humankind.
                (3) The prosperity, security, and well-being of the United
            States depend on successful understanding and stewardship of the
            ocean.
                (4) Interdisciplinary cooperation and engagement among
            government agencies, research institutions, nongovernmental
            organizations, States, Indian Tribes, and the private sector are
            essential for successful stewardship of ocean and coastal
            environments, national economic growth, national security, and
            development of agile strategies that develop, promote, and use
            new technologies.
                (5) Ocean exploration can help the people of the United
            States understand how to be effective stewards of the ocean and
            serve as catalysts and enablers for other sectors of the
            economy.
                (6) Mapping, exploration, and characterization of the ocean
            provides basic, essential information to protect and restore the
            marine environment, stimulate economic activity, and provide
            security for the United States.
                (7) A robust national ocean exploration program engaging
            multiple Federal agencies, Indian Tribes, the private sector,
            nongovernmental organizations, and academia is--
                        (A) essential to the interests of the United States
                    and vital to its security and economy and the health and
                    well-being of all people of the United States; and
                        (B) critical to reestablish the United States at the
                    forefront of global ocean exploration and stewardship.
