to support United Nations-facilitated efforts toward a

result in a delay to the fielding of an additional 20 ground-
based interceptors at Fort Greely, Alaska, which had been
planned to be emplaced by the end of calendar year 2023;
(2) to ensure that the future next-generation improved
homeland defense interceptor program will deliver the required
capability, have rigorous technical and acquisition oversight,
and maintain schedule milestones, thereby mitigating the risk of
similar issues as experienced with the redesigned kill vehicle,
the acquisition strategy for such program should be reviewed and
jointly approved by both the Under Secretary of Defense for
Research and Engineering and the Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition and Sustainment, with input by stakeholders across
the Department of Defense prior to proceeding with development
efforts and awarding a contract; and
(3) the Department, including the Missile Defense Agency,
should uphold ``fly before you buy'' principles in such new
acquisition strategy to ensure the overall system and components
have been rigorously flight-tested prior to making procurement
decisions.

(b) Limitation.--Of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this
Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2020 for the Missile
Defense Agency for the next-generation improved homeland defense
interceptor, not more than 50 percent may be obligated

estimate for each course of action considered; and
(B) <>  an evaluation of the
technical readiness level of the overall system and the
components for each course of action considered.
(4) Options considered to address reliability efforts of the
current fleet, understanding known deficiencies, and the impact
of not addressing such efforts and deficiencies until the
delivery of the next-generation improved homeland defense
interceptors.
(5) <>  An obsolescence, refurbishment, and
sustainment plan for all ground-based interceptor silos,
including any impacts to the construction, delivery, and
sustainment of missile field 4 located at Fort Greely, Alaska,
taking into account the delay to emplacing additional
interceptors.
(6) Possible opportunities as a result of the impacts
described in paragraph (4) for improvements to missile fields
located at Fort Greely other than missile field 4, including
additional infrastructure or components required, and estimated
schedules and costs for such opportunities.
(7) <>  A determination of the
appropriate fleet mix of ground-based interceptor kill vehicles
and boosters to maximize overall system effectiveness and
increase capacity and capability, including the costs and
benefits of continued inclusion of capability enhancement II
block 1 interceptors after the fielding of the next-generation

SEC. 2869. <> LANDS TO BE TAKEN INTO TRUST AS
PART OF THE RESERVATION OF THE LYTTON
RANCHERIA.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Lytton Rancheria of California is a federally
recognized Indian tribe that lost its homeland after its
relationship to the United States was unjustly and unlawfully
terminated in 1958. The Tribe was restored to Federal
recognition in 1991, but the conditions of its restoration have
prevented it from regaining a homeland on its original lands.
(2) Congress needs to take action to reverse historic
injustices that befell the Tribe and that have prevented it from
regaining a viable homeland for its people.
(3) Prior to European contact there were as many as 350,000
Indians living in what is now the State of California. By the
turn of the 19th century, that number had been reduced to
approximately 15,000 individuals, many of them homeless and
living in scattered bands and communities.
(4) The Lytton Rancheria's original homeland was purchased
by the United States in 1926 pursuant to congressional authority
designed to remedy the unique tragedy that befell the Indians of
California and provide them with reservations called Rancherias
to be held in trust by the United States.
(5) After the Lytton Rancheria lands were purchased by the
United States, the Tribe settled on the land and sustained
itself for several decades by farming and ranching.
(6) By the mid-1950s, Federal Indian policy had shifted back
towards a policy of terminating the Federal relationship with
Indian tribes. In 1958, Congress enacted the Rancheria Act of
1958 (72 Stat. 619), which slated 41 Rancherias in California,
including the Lytton Rancheria, for termination after certain
conditions were met.
(7) On August 1, 1961, the Federal Government terminated its
relationship with the Lytton Rancheria. This termination was
illegal because the conditions for termination under the
Rancheria Act had never been met. After termination was

[[Page 1906]]

implemented, the Tribe lost its lands and was left without any
means of supporting itself.
(8) In 1987, the Tribe joined three other tribes in a
lawsuit against the United States challenging the illegal
termination of their Rancherias. A Stipulated Judgment in the
case, Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians of the Sugar Bowl
Rancheria v. United States, No. C-86-3660 (N.D.Cal. March 22,
1991), restored the Lytton Rancheria to its status as a
federally recognized Indian tribe.
(9) The Stipulated Judgment provides that the Lytton
Rancheria would have the ``individual and collective status and
rights'' which it had prior to its termination and expressly
contemplated the acquisition of trust lands for the Lytton
Rancheria.
(10) The Stipulated Judgment contains provisions, included
at the request of the local county governments and neighboring
landowners, that prohibit the Lytton Rancheria from exercising
its full Federal rights on its original homeland in the
Alexander Valley.
(11) In 2000, approximately 9.5 acres of land in San Pablo,
California, was placed in trust status for the Lytton Rancheria
for economic development purposes.
(12) The Tribe has since acquired, from willing sellers at
fair market value, property in Sonoma County near the Tribe's
historic Rancheria. This property, which the Tribe holds in fee
status, is suitable for a new homeland for the Tribe.
(13) On a portion of the land to be taken into trust, which
portion totals approximately 124.12 acres, the Tribe plans to
build housing for its members and governmental and community
facilities.
(14) A portion of the land to be taken into trust is being
used for viniculture, and the Tribe intends to develop more of
the lands to be taken into trust for viniculture. The Tribe's
investment in the ongoing viniculture operation has
reinvigorated the vineyards, which are producing high-quality
wines. The Tribe is operating its vineyards on a sustainable
basis and is working toward certification of sustainability.
(15) No gaming shall be conducted on the lands to be taken
into trust by this section.
(16) No gaming shall be conducted on any lands taken into
trust on behalf of the Tribe in Sonoma County after the date of
the enactment of this Act.
(17) By directing that these lands be taken into trust, the
United States will ensure that the Lytton Rancheria will finally
have a permanently protected homeland on which the Tribe can
once again live communally and plan for future generations. This
action is necessary to fully restore the Tribe to the status it
had before it was wrongfully terminated in 1961.
(18) The Tribe and County of Sonoma have entered into a
Memorandum of Agreement as amended in 2018 in which the County
agrees to the lands in the County being taken into trust for the
benefit of the Tribe in consideration for commitments made by
the Tribe.

SEC. 2870. LITTLE SHELL TRIBE OF CHIPPEWA INDIANS OF MONTANA.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians is a
political successor to signatories of the Pembina Treaty of
1863, under which a large area of land in the State of North
Dakota was ceded to the United States;
(2) the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa of North Dakota and
the Chippewa-Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy's Reservation of
Montana, which also are political successors to the signatories
of the Pembina Treaty of 1863, have been recognized by the
Federal Government as distinct Indian tribes;
(3) the members of the Little Shell Tribe continue to live
in the State of Montana, as their ancestors have for more than
100 years since ceding land in the State of North Dakota as
described in paragraph (1);

``Indian Reorganization Act'');

[[Page 1908]]

(5) Federal agents who visited the Tribe and Commissioner of
Indian Affairs John Collier attested to the responsibility of
the Federal Government for the Tribe and members of the Tribe,
concluding that members of the Tribe are eligible for, and

for reorganization under the Act of June 18, 1934 (25 U.S.C.
5101 et seq.) (commonly known as the ``Indian Reorganization
Act'');
(6) due to a lack of Federal appropriations during the
Depression, the Bureau of Indian Affairs lacked adequate
financial resources to purchase land for the Tribe, and the
members of the Tribe were denied the opportunity to reorganize;
(7) in spite of the failure of the Federal Government to
appropriate adequate funding to secure land for the Tribe as
required for reorganization under the Act of June 18, 1934 (25
U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) (commonly known as the ``Indian
Reorganization Act''), the Tribe continued to exist as a
separate community, with leaders exhibiting clear political
authority;
(8) the Tribe, together with the Turtle Mountain Band of
Chippewa of North Dakota and the Chippewa-Cree Tribe of the
Rocky Boy's Reservation of Montana, filed 2 law suits under the
Act of August 13, 1946 (60 Stat. 1049) (commonly known as the
``Indian Claims Commission Act''), to petition for additional
compensation for land ceded to the United States under the
Pembina Treaty of 1863 and the McCumber Agreement of 1892;
(9) in 1971 and 1982, pursuant to Acts of Congress, the
tribes received awards for the claims described in paragraph
(8);
(10) in 1978, the Tribe submitted to the Bureau of Indian
Affairs a petition for Federal recognition, which is still
pending as of the date of enactment of this Act; and
(11) the Federal Government, the State of Montana, and the
other federally recognized Indian tribes of the State have had
continuous dealings with the recognized political leaders of the
Tribe since the 1930s.

(b) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Member.--The term ``member'' means an individual who is
enrolled in the Tribe pursuant to subsection (f).

this Act.

(f) Membership Roll.--

SEC. 5323. <>  ENCOURAGEMENT OF COOPERATIVE
ACTIONS TO DETECT AND COUNTER FOREIGN
INFLUENCE OPERATIONS.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Russian Federation, through military intelligence
units, also known as the ``GRU'', and Kremlin-linked troll
organizations often referred to as the ``Internet Research
Agency'', deploy information warfare operations against the
United States, its allies and partners, with the goal of
advancing the strategic interests of the Russian Federation.
(2) One line of effort deployed as part of these information
warfare operations is the weaponization of social media
platforms with the goals of intensifying societal tensions,
undermining trust in governmental institutions within the United
States, its allies and partners in the West, and generally
sowing division, fear, and confusion.
(3) These information warfare operations are a threat to the
national security of the United States and that of the allies
and partners of the United States. As former Director

[[Page 2131]]

of National Intelligence Dan Coats stated, ``These actions are
persistent, they are pervasive and they are meant to undermine
America's democracy.''.
(4) These information warfare operations continue to evolve
and increase in sophistication.
(5) Other foreign adversaries and hostile non-state actors
are increasingly adopting similar tactics of deploying
information warfare operations against the West, such as recent
state-backed operations from China around the Hong Kong protests
identified by social media companies.
(6) Technological advances, including artificial
intelligence, will only make it more difficult in the future to
detect fraudulent accounts, deceptive material posted on social
media, and malign behavior on social media platforms.
(7) Because these information warfare operations are
deployed within and across private social media platforms, the
companies that own these platforms have a responsibility to
detect and facilitate the removal or neutralization of foreign
adversary networks operating clandestinely on their platforms.
(8) The social media companies are inherently
technologically sophisticated and adept at rapidly analyzing
large amounts of data and developing software-based solutions to
diverse and ever-changing challenges on their platforms, which
makes them well-equipped to address the threat occurring on
their platforms.
(9) Independent analyses confirmed Kremlin-linked threat
networks, based on data provided by several social media
companies to the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate,
thereby demonstrating that it is possible to discern both broad
patterns of cross-platform information warfare operations and
specific fraudulent behavior on social media platforms.
(10) General Paul Nakasone, Director of the National
Security Agency, emphasized the importance of these independent
analyses to the planning and conducting of military cyber
operations to frustrate Kremlin-linked information warfare
operations against the 2018 mid-term elections. General Nakasone
stated that the reports ``were very, very helpful in terms of
being able to understand exactly what our adversary was trying
to do to build dissent within our nation.''.
(11) Institutionalizing ongoing robust, independent, and
vigorous analysis of data related to foreign threat networks
within and across social media platforms will help counter
ongoing information warfare operations against the United
States, its allies, and its partners.
(12) Archiving and disclosing to the public the results of
these analyses by the social media companies and trusted third-
party experts in a transparent manner will serve to demonstrate
that the social media companies are detecting and removing
foreign malign activities from their platforms while protecting
the privacy of the people of the United States and will build
public understanding of the scale and scope of these foreign
threats to our democracy, since exposure is one of the most
effective means to build resilience.

(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the social media companies should cooperate among
themselves and with independent organizations and researchers

[[Page 2132]]

on a sustained and regular basis to share and analyze data and
indicators relevant to foreign information warfare operations
within and across their platforms in order to detect and counter
foreign information warfare operations that threaten the
national security of the United States and its allies and
partners;
(2) information from law enforcement and the intelligence
community is also important in assisting efforts by these social
media companies to identify foreign information warfare
operations;
(3) these analytic efforts should be organized in such a
fashion as to meet the highest standards of ethics,
confidentiality, and privacy protection of the people of the
United States, while still allowing timely research access to
relevant data;
(4) these analytic efforts should be undertaken as soon as
possible to facilitate countering ongoing state or state-backed
foreign information warfare operations and to aid in
preparations for the United States Presidential and
congressional elections in 2020 and beyond;
(5) the structure and operations of social media companies
make them well positioned to work with independent organizations
and researchers to address foreign adversary threat networks
within and across their platforms, and these efforts could be
conducted without direct Government involvement, direction, or
regulation; and
(6) if the social media industry fails to take sufficient
action to address foreign adversary threat networks operating
within or across their platforms, Congress would have to
consider additional safeguards for ensuring that this threat is
effectively mitigated.

(c) Authority to Facilitate Establishment of Social Media Data and
Threat Analysis Center.--

SEC. 6607. <>  REPORT ON CLEARANCE
IN PERSON CONCEPT.

(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that to reflect
the greater mobility of the modern workforce, alternative methodologies
merit analysis to allow greater flexibility for individuals moving in
and out of positions that require access to classified information,
while still preserving security.
(b) Report Required.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the

appropriate congressional committees and make available to appropriate
industry partners a report that describes the requirements, feasibility,
and advisability of implementing a clearance in person concept described

(1) <>  permits an individual who once
held a security clearance to maintain his or her eligibility for
access to classified information, networks, and facilities for

background investigation as current, regardless of employment
status, contingent on enrollment in a continuous vetting
program.

Security Executive Agent shall submit to the appropriate congressional
committees and make available to industry partners a report that

SEC. 6609. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY REPORTS ON SECURITY CLEARANCES.

(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) despite sustained efforts by Congress and the executive
branch, an unacceptable backlog in processing and adjudicating
security clearances persists, both within elements of the
intelligence community and in other departments of the Federal
Government, with some processing times exceeding a year or even
more;
(2) the protracted clearance timetable threatens the ability
of elements of the intelligence community to hire and retain
highly qualified individuals, and thus to fulfill the missions
of such elements;
(3) the prospect of a lengthy clearance process deters some
such individuals from seeking employment with the intelligence
community in the first place, and, when faced with a long wait
time, those with conditional offers of employment may opt to
discontinue the security clearance process and pursue different
opportunities;
(4) now more than ever, therefore, the broken security
clearance process badly needs fundamental reform; and
(5) in the meantime, to ensure the ability of elements of
the intelligence community to hire and retain highly qualified
personnel, elements should consider, to the extent possible and
consistent with national security, permitting new employees

[[Page 2217]]

to enter on duty immediately or nearly so, and to perform, on a
temporary basis pending final adjudication of their security
clearances, work that either does not require a security
clearance or requires only a low-level interim clearance.

(b) Reports Required.--Section 506H of the National Security Act of
1947 (50 U.S.C. 3104) is amended--
(1) in subsection (a)(1)--
(A) in subparagraph (A)(ii), by adding ``and'' at
the end;
(B) in subparagraph (B)(ii), by striking ``; and''
and inserting a period; and
(C) by striking subparagraph (C);
(2) by redesignating subsection (b) as subsection (c);
(3) by inserting after subsection (a) the following:

``(b) Intelligence Community Reports.--(1)(A) Not later than March 1
of each year, the Director of National Intelligence shall submit a

``subsection (a)(1)'' and inserting ``subsections (a)(1) and
(b)''.

existing sanctions for human trafficking authorized under
section 111 of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000
(22 U.S.C. 7108);
(2) the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the
Department of the Treasury should continue--

II of chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code
(commonly known as the ``Bank Secrecy Act'') and to
update advisories, as warranted;
(B) to periodically review its advisories to provide
covered financial institutions, as appropriate, with a
list of new ``red flags'' for identifying activities of
concern, particularly human trafficking;

[[Page 2258]]

(C) to encourage entities covered by the advisories
described in subparagraph (B) to incorporate relevant
elements provided in the advisories into their current
transaction and account monitoring systems or in
policies, procedures, and training on human trafficking
to enable financial institutions to maintain ongoing
efforts to examine transactions and accounts;
(D) to use geographic targeting orders, as
appropriate, to impose additional reporting and
recordkeeping requirements under section 5326(a) of
title 31, United States Code, to carry out the purposes
of, and prevent evasions of, the Bank Secrecy Act; and

for nongovernmental organizations to share relevant
actionable information on human traffickers' use of the
financial sector for nefarious purposes;

Treasury, relevant law enforcement agencies, and the Human
Smuggling and Trafficking Center, in partnership with

important factor in identifying trafficking victims;

industry, human rights, and nongovernmental organizations
focused on human trafficking provide good examples of current
efforts to educate employees of critical sectors with respect to
how to save victims and disrupt trafficking networks;
(6) the President should intensify diplomatic efforts,
bilaterally and in appropriate international fora such as the
United Nations, to develop and implement a coordinated,
consistent, multilateral strategy for addressing the
international financial networks supporting human trafficking;
and
(7) in deliberations between the United States Government
and any foreign country, including through participation in the
Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units, regarding money
laundering, corruption, and transnational crimes, the United

relevant international fora in identifying the extent to
which the proceeds from human trafficking are being used
to facilitate terrorist financing, corruption, or other
illicit financial crimes;
(B) encourage cooperation by foreign governments and
relevant international fora in identifying the nexus
