        and the technical risks associated with such property are not 
        excessive.

SEC. 530. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING WOMEN INVOLUNTARILY 
                        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.

                reserve component frameworks with modest statutory

                active duty; and

        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 
                is consistent with the joint service requirements of 
                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

                and consistent with professional ethics to successfully 
                implement the Space Component.
                    (D) The effect of establishing a Space Component on

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.

    (b) Report.--

        General of the United States Agency for International 
        Development and in consultation with other Inspectors General as 
        appropriate, shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
        committees a report on the oversight framework established with 
        respect to United States assistance to Ukraine.

                failures by United States, bilateral, or multilateral

                    (D) A description of the footprint in Europe of such 
                Inspectors General for purposes of oversight of

                    (E) To the extent practicable and appropriate, a 
                description of any known incidents of the misuse of 
                assistance to Ukraine, including incidents of waste, 
                fraud, abuse, diversion, or corruption.
                    (F) Any lessons learned from the manner in which 
                oversight over assistance to Ukraine has been conducted.
                    (G) <<NOTE: Recommenda- tions.>> Any findings or 
                recommendations with respect to assistance to Ukraine.

        authorities more effectively to improve the readiness of the 
        military forces of the United States and Taiwan; and
            (4) the naval forces of Taiwan should be invited to

                          IN THE INDO-PACIFIC REGION.

                exercises, expanded defense trade, and collaboration on

                    (B) to enable greater cooperation on maritime

        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;
            (9) collaborating with Canada, the United Kingdom, France,

        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 
        in the area of responsibility of the United States Indo-Pacific 
        Command, identified by the Department of Defense as its priority 
        theater, and strengthening cooperation in bilateral 
        relationships, multilateral partnerships, and other

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.

            (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 
        (House Report 101-405).

    (e) Incorporation of Acquired Land and Interests.--Any land or 
interest in land within the boundaries of a wilderness area that is

    (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.--

                      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

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.

180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and annually 
thereafter for the following 5 years, the Secretary of State, in

include descriptions of--
            (1) the proposed response to propaganda and disinformation 
        campaigns by the People's Republic of China and cyber-intrusions 
        targeting Taiwan, including--
                    (A) assistance in building the capacity of Taiwan's

                expose propaganda and disinformation supported by the 
                Government of the People's Republic of China, the 
                Chinese Communist Party, or affiliated entities;

                Taiwan entities targeted by disinformation campaigns;
            (2) the proposed response to political influence operations 
        that includes an assessment of the extent of influence exerted

SEC. 5514. <<NOTE: 22 USC 3362.>>  TASK FORCE TO COUNTER ECONOMIC 
                          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

``Task Force'').

    (c) Duties.--
            (1) In general.--The Task Force shall--

                practices, which shall include--
                          (i) systematically monitoring and evaluating--
                                    (I) the costs of such practices on

                                have had on United States national

       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.

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;
            (2) includes an account of the efforts made by the Secretary 
        of State and the Secretary of Commerce to ensure Taiwan's 
        meaningful participation in ICAO, including in ICAO triennial 
        assembly sessions, conferences, technical working groups, 
        meetings, activities, and mechanisms; and

[[Page 136 STAT. 3320]]

            (3) identifies the steps the Secretary of State and the 
        Secretary of Commerce will take in the next year 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.

        States to ensure that bilateral global health assistance 
        programs are effectively managed and coordinated, as necessary 
        and appropriate to achieve the purposes of this subtitle, to 
        contribute to the strengthening of health systems for global

        25) and other relevant provisions of law, to ensure that such 
        activities contribute to the strengthening of health systems for 
        global health security and pandemic prevention and preparedness.

    (e) Coordination for International Pandemic Early Warning Network.--
            (1) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the

        establish or strengthen effective early warning systems, at the 
        partner country, regional, and international levels, that 
        utilize innovative information and analytical tools and robust 
        review processes to track, document, analyze, and forecast 
        infectious disease threats with epidemic and pandemic potential.
            (2) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of the 
        enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for the following

        threats internationally.

    (f) International Emergency Operations.--
            (1) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that it 
        is essential to enhance the capacity of key stakeholders to 
        effectively operationalize early warning and execute multi-
        sectoral emergency operations during an infectious disease 
        outbreak, particularly in countries and areas that deliberately 
        withhold critical global health data and delay access during an 
        infectious disease outbreak, in advance of the next infectious 
        disease outbreak with pandemic potential.
            (2) Public health emergencies of international concern.--The 
        Secretary of Health and Human Services, in coordination with the 
        Secretary of State, should work with the World Health 
        Organization and like-minded member states to adopt an approach 
        toward assessing infectious disease threats under the 
        International Health Regulations (2005) for the World Health 
        Organization to identify and transparently communicate, on an 
        ongoing basis, varying levels of risk leading up to a 
        declaration by the Director General of the World Health 
        Organization of a Public Health Emergency of International 
        Concern for the duration and in the aftermath of such 
        declaration.
            (3) Emergency operations.--The Secretary of Health and Human 
        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 
        Federal departments and agencies and consistent with the 
        requirements under the International Health Regulations (2005) 
        and the objectives of the World Health Organization's Health 
        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--
                    (A) to collect and share de-identified public health 
                data, assess risk, and operationalize early warning;
                    (B) to secure, including through utilization of

                cross-sectoral emergency operations during the 48-hour 
                period immediately following an infectious disease 
                outbreak with pandemic potential; and

        with relevant bureaus and offices in the Department of State 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

        including efforts of the United States Chief of Mission to

                against the Burmese military; and

                targeted sanctions on the economic interests of the 
                Burmese military, including through the introduction and

SEC. 5573. <<NOTE: 22 USC 10224.>>  SUPPORT FOR GREATER UNITED 
                          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.

        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

        congressional committees--
                    (A) a notice of and justification for the

 Surveillance Act of 2022.>> --Promotion of Freedom of Information and 
Countering of Censorship and Surveillance in North Korea
SEC. 5580. <<NOTE: 22 USC 7801 note.>>  SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Otto Warmbier Countering North 
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.

        partnerships that provide circumvention technology and an

                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
            (3) support increased inter-democracy and inter-
        parliamentary cooperation on countering misinformation 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
            (4) applauds the IAEA Board of Governors' resolution urging 
        Iran's full cooperation with the IAEA on outstanding safeguards 
        issues on an urgent basis.

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.
            (2) Membership.--
                    (A) In general.--This advisory panel shall consist 
                of at least 2 representatives from national emergency 
                management organizations and at least 1 representative 
                from each of the 10 regions of the Federal Emergency 
                Management Agency, selected from emergency management 
                personnel

[[Page 136 STAT. 3406]]

                employed by State, local, territorial, or tribal

                      reviewed under consistent guidelines;
                          (ii) utilizing a common technological platform 
                      to integrate data collected by State and local 
                      governments with data collected by the Agency; and
                          (iii) assessing instruction materials provided 
                      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

                whether specific disasters result in longer preliminary 
                damage assessments; and
                    (C) any additional legislative recommendations 
                necessary to improve the preliminary damage assessment

SEC. 5931. SHORT TITLE.

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.

                          AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT.

    (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 
        during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine that began on 
        February 24, 2022, for use in appropriate domestic, foreign, and 
        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 
        respect to the current situation in Ukraine.

                invasion of Ukraine in 2022; and
                    (C) steps taken to coordinate with, and support the 
                work of, allies, partners, international institutions 
                and organizations, and nongovernmental organizations in 
                such efforts.

        those responsible for the commission of war crimes or other 
        atrocities during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 
        2022, and of the types of acts that may be prosecutable.

                    (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 
                undermine the political independence or territorial 
                integrity of any state, including Ukraine.
                    (E) Such other factors as the National Intelligence

                  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

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

        continuous authorizations to operate, subject to such conditions 
        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

                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--

[[Page 136 STAT. 3572]]

                    (A) <<NOTE: Reports.>>  a report on the current 
                average wait times for authorizations to operate and

flight segments originating in the United States without additional 
security re-screening if--
            (1) the initial screening was conducted in accordance with

        into with a foreign country that delineates and implements 
        security standards and protocols utilized at a foreign last 
        point of departure airport that are determined by the

                of airports in the United States without the need for 
                re-screening.
            (2) Non-delegation.--The authority to approve an aviation 
        security screening agreement may not be delegated below the 
        level of the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland

        the aviation security screening agreement has not maintained and 
        implemented security standards and protocols comparable to those 
        of the United States at foreign last point of departure airports 
        at which a pilot program has been established in accordance with 
        this section, the Administrator shall ensure that passengers and 
        their property arriving from such airports are re-screened in 
        the United States, including by using explosives detection 
        systems in accordance with section 44901(d)(1) of title 49, 
        United States Code, and implementing regulations and directives, 
        before such passengers and their property are permitted into 
        sterile areas of airports in the United States.
            (2) Consultation.--If the Administrator has reasonable 
        grounds to believe the other party to an aviation security 
        screening agreement has not complied with such agreement, the 
        Administrator shall request immediate consultation with such 
        party.
            (3) <<NOTE: Deadline. President.>>  Suspension or 
        termination of agreement.--If a satisfactory resolution between 
        TSA and a foreign country is not reached within 45 days after a 
        consultation request under paragraph (2) or in the case of the 
        foreign country's continued or egregious failure to maintain the 
        security standards and protocols described in paragraph (1), the 
        President, or with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, 
        the Secretary of Homeland Security or the Administrator, as 
        appropriate, shall suspend or terminate the aviation security 
        screening agreement with such country, as determined appropriate 
        by the President,

                          JETTIES.

    (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 
        that--
                    (A) projected changes in wave action or height, 
                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.
SEC. 8102. EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO NATURAL DISASTERS.

    (a) In General.--Section 5(a)(1) of the Act of August 18, 1941 (33

restoration of any federally authorized hurricane or shore protective 
structure'' and all that follows through ``non-Federal sponsor.'' and 
inserting ``in the repair and restoration of any federally authorized 
hurricane or shore protective structure or project damaged or destroyed 
by wind, wave, or water action of other than an ordinary nature to the 
pre-storm level of protection, to the design level of protection, or, 
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

[[Page 136 STAT. 3696]]

erosion, or implement nonstructural alternatives to the repair or 
restoration of the structure.''.
    (b) <<NOTE: 33 USC 701n note.>>  Great Lakes Advance Measures 
Assistance.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall not deny a request from

        assistance pursuant to section 5(a) of the Act of August 18, 
        1941 (33 U.S.C. 701n(a)) to reduce the risk of damage from 
        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 
        advance measures to a temporary construction standard.

                          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.

(a), the Secretary shall--
            (1) describe the forest, rangeland, and watershed 
        restoration services provided by the Secretary on lands owned by

        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 
        enter into such an agreement;
            (5) consider whether implementation of a good neighbor 
        agreement on lands owned by the Corps of Engineers would benefit 
        State and local governments and Indian Tribes that are located 
        in the same geographic area as such lands; and
            (6) <<NOTE: Consultation.>>  consult with the heads of other 
        Federal agencies authorized to enter into good neighbor 
        agreements with non-Federal interests.

    (c) <<NOTE: Public information. Web posting.>>  Report to 
Congress.--Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this 
section, the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Transportation

        relevant.

construed to preclude--
            (1) the Unit for Subnational Diplomacy Office from being 
        elevated to a bureau within the Department; or

[[Page 136 STAT. 3861]]

            (2) the Special Representative for Subnational Diplomacy 
        from being elevated to an Assistant Secretary if the addition of 
        such Assistant Secretary position does not increase the number 
        of Assistant Secretary positions at the Department above the

            (1) Congress and the executive branch have recognized the 
        importance of preventing and mitigating the potential for 
        conflicts of interest following government service, including 
        with respect to senior United States officials working on behalf 
        of foreign governments; and
            (2) Congress and the executive branch should jointly 
        evaluate the status and scope of post-employment restrictions.

             TITLE XCIII--EMBASSY SECURITY AND CONSTRUCTION

SEC. 9301. <<NOTE: Secure Embassy Construction and 
                          Counterterrorism Act of 
                          2022.>> AMENDMENTS TO SECURE EMBASSY 
                          CONSTRUCTION AND COUNTERTERRORISM ACT OF 
                          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

        diplomatic or consular premises, consistent with the Vienna 
        Convention on Diplomatic Relations, done at Vienna April 18, 
        1961, and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, done at 
        Vienna April 24, 1963, and was notified to the host government 
        as such; or
            ``(2) is otherwise subject to a publicly available bilateral 
        agreement with the host government (contained in the records of 
        the United States Department of State) that recognizes the 
        official status of the United States Government personnel 
        present at the facility.''.

    (e) Guidance and Requirements for Diplomatic Facilities.--
            (1) Guidance for closure of public diplomacy facilities.--
        Section 5606(a) of the Public Diplomacy Modernization Act of 
        2021 (Public Law 117-81; 22 U.S.C. 1475g note) is amended to 
        read as follows:

    ``(a) <<NOTE: Deadline.>> In General.--In order to preserve public 
diplomacy facilities that are accessible to the publics of foreign 
countries, not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 2022, the 
Secretary of State shall adopt guidelines to collect and utilize 
information from each diplomatic post at which the construction of a new 
embassy compound or new consulate compound could result in the closure 
or co-location of an American Space that is owned and operated by the 
United States Government, generally known as an American Center, or any 
other public diplomacy facility under the Secure Embassy Construction 
and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865 et seq.).''.
            (2) Security requirements for united states diplomatic 
        facilities.--Section 606(a) of the Secure Embassy Construction 
        and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)) is 
        amended--
                    (A) in paragraph (1)(A), by striking ``the threat'' 
                and inserting ``a range of threats, including that'';

SEC. 9302. <<NOTE: Diplomatic Support and Security Act of 
                          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 
        apparent

[[Page 136 STAT. 3884]]

        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

                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:

        committee.--In any case of a serious security incident involving 
        loss of life, serious injury, or significant destruction of 
        property at, or related to, a United States Government 
        diplomatic mission abroad (referred to in this title as a 
        `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;
                    (C) by inserting after paragraph (1) the following:

                    ``(D) an assessment of whether the failure of any 
                officials or employees to follow procedures or perform

        consist of individuals from the Diplomatic Security Service who

        environments outside of diplomatic compounds; and
            (3) plans and strategies for effectively balancing safety 
        risks with the need for in-person engagement with local 
        governments and populations.

    (j) Sense of Congress Regarding the Establishment of the 
Expeditionary Diplomacy Award.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary should--
            (1) encourage expeditionary diplomacy, proper risk 
        management practices, and regular and meaningful engagement with 
        civil society at the Department by establishing an annual award, 
        which shall be known as the ``Expeditionary Diplomacy Award'', 
        to be awarded to deserving officers and employees of the 
        Department; and

SEC. 9303. <<NOTE: 22 USC 2656 note.>> ESTABLISHMENT OF UNITED 
                          STATES EMBASSIES IN SOLOMON ISLANDS, 
                          KIRIBATI, AND TONGA AND A DIPLOMATIC 
                          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 
        the Republic of Kiribati and the Kingdom of Tonga.
            (9) The United States requires a physical and more robust 
        diplomatic presence in the Republic of Vanuatu, the Republic of 
        Kiribati, the Solomon Islands, and the Kingdom of Tonga, to 
        ensure the physical and operational security of our efforts

[[Page 136 STAT. 3891]]

        in those countries to deepen relations, protect United States 
        national security, and pursue United States national interests.
            (10) Increasing the number of United States embassies 
        dedicated solely to a Pacific Island country demonstrates the 
        United States' ongoing commitment to the region and to the 
        Pacific Island countries.

    (b) Establishment of Embassies.--
            (1) In general.--As soon as possible, the Secretary should--
                    (A) establish physical United States embassies in 
                the Republic of Kiribati and in the Kingdom of Tonga;
                    (B) upgrade the United States consular agency in the 
                Solomon Islands to an embassy; and
                    (C) establish a physical United States Government 
                presence in the Republic of Vanuatu.
            (2) Other strategies.--
                    (A) Physical infrastructure.--In establishing 
                embassies pursuant to paragraph (1) and creating the 
                physical infrastructure to ensure the physical and 
                operational safety of embassy personnel, the Secretary 
                may pursue rent or purchase existing buildings or co-
                locate personnel in embassies of like-minded partners, 
                such as Australia and New Zealand.
                    (B) Personnel.--In establishing a physical presence 
                in the Republic of Vanuatu pursuant to paragraph (1), 
                the Secretary may assign 1 or more United States 
                Government personnel to the Republic of Vanuatu as part 
                of the United States mission in Papua New Guinea.
            (3) <<NOTE: President. Time 
        period. Determination. Reports.>> Waiver authority.--The 
        President may waive the requirements under paragraph (1) for a 
        period of one year if the President determines and reports to 
        Congress in advance that such waiver is necessary to protect the 
        national security interests of the United States.

    (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--Of the amounts authorized to 
be appropriated to the Department of State for Embassy Security, 
Construction, and Maintenance--
            (1) $40,200,000 is authorized to be appropriated for fiscal

                    (B) to establish a physical United States Government 
                presence in the Republic of Vanuatu;

        date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to

                    ``(F) coordinate the allocation and management of 
                the financial and human resources for public diplomacy, 
                including for--

        people of the United States and citizens of other countries; and

                 TITLE CII--REGIONAL OCEAN PARTNERSHIPS

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).

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.
