Purpose The purpose of H.R. 6237 is to authorize the intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States Government for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019. These activities enhance the national security of the United States, support and assist the armed forces of the United States, and support the President in the execution of the foreign policy of the United States. Classified Annexes and Committee Intent The classified annexes to this report include the classified schedule of authorizations and associated explanatory language for fiscal years 2018 and 2019. The classified annexes are an integral part of this legislation. Each classified annex contains thorough discussions of the issues underlying the funding authorizations found in the classified schedules of authorizations. All intelligence programs discussed in the classified annexes to this report will follow the guidance and limitations set forth therein. The classified schedule of authorizations is incorporated directly into this legislation by virtue of Sections 1102 and 2102, respectively. The classified annexes are available for review by all Members of the House of Representatives, subject to the requirements of clause 13 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and rule 14 of the Rules of Procedure for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Scope of Committee Review The bill authorizes U.S. intelligence and intelligence- related activities within the jurisdiction of the Committee, including the National Intelligence Program (NIP) and the Military Intelligence Program (MIP), the Homeland Security Intelligence Program (HSIP), and the Information Systems Security Program (ISSP). The NIP consists of activities of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and Central Intelligence Agency, as well as intelligence, intelligence- related, and counterintelligence activities conducted by: the Department of Defense, including the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the National Geospatial- Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, and certain activities of the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force; the Department of Energy; the Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration; the Department of Homeland Security, including the U.S. Coast Guard and intelligence elements of DHS; Department of State; and the Department of the Treasury. Committee Statement and Views H.R. 6237, the Matthew Young Pollard Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019 (the Act) authorizes the activities of, and funding for, the 17 agencies that comprise the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC). These activities include: deterring nation state adversaries like Russia and China; countering proliferators of weapons of mass destruction; defeating the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other terrorist groups; defending against world-wide cyber-attacks; and protecting the Homeland from overseas threats. The Act authorizes the resources necessary to face these challenges and provides for needed future capabilities. The total funding levels authorized by the classified Schedule of Authorizations are slightly above the Administration's budget request, balancing fiscal discipline and national security. However, the Committee remains concerned that the funding levels specified under current law for Fiscal Year 2020 and beyond could prevent the IC from fully carrying out its missions at a time when the United States and its allies face increasingly complex security challenges. The provisions of the Act consist of changes to statute and direction to the IC to enable effective, efficient, and constitutional intelligence activities. Because most of the intelligence budget involves classified programs, the bulk of the Committee's recommendations each year are found in the classified annex accompanying the bill. H.R. 6237 funds high- priority initiatives not included in the President's budget request, trims requested increases that lack clear justifications, and reflects the Committee's determinations of which programs represent the best value for intelligence dollars. Ultimately, H.R. 6237 ensures that during fiscal years 2018 and 2019, the dedicated men and women of the IC have the funding, authorities, and support they need to carry out their mission and keep America safe, while ensuring accountability and strict oversight of intelligence programs and activities. The Act is divided into two divisions: Division A and Division B, which contain the FY18 and FY19 Intelligence Authorization Acts, respectively. Division A: FY18 Intelligence Authorization Act Management of the intelligence community workforce The Committee repeats direction from the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 that the IC elements should build, develop, and maintain a workforce appropriately balanced among its civilian, military, and contractor employees to meet the missions assigned to it in law and by the president. Starting in fiscal year 2019, the Committee will no longer include position ceilings in the annual Schedule of Authorizations. Section 1103 of the Act includes authority for IC elements to adjust personnel ceilings by three percent, and by ten percent specifically for the purpose of contractor conversions. These flexibilities are temporary management tools that will cease in Fiscal Year 2019, when the IC fully implements the multi-sector workforce initiative. The Committee looks forward to working with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) as it issues implementation guidelines, sets standards for workforce cost analysis tools, and ensures that Congress retains sufficient insight into IC personnel resources. The Committee also looks forward to working with IC elements as they develop implementation strategies, assess the optimal workforce mix, and use internal controls to validate their workforce decisions. Foreign service officer tour lengths Committee members and staff frequently meet with foreign service officers worldwide during oversight travel and recognize the difficulties faced by the Department of State in staffing embassies and consulates with officers with the necessary language and cultural expertise. The Committee believes that the current standard tour length for foreign service officers exacerbates these challenges by moving officers with significant language and cultural experience after only two years of service in each country, and therefore must be lengthened. The Committee further believes that the Department of State could achieve significant cost savings by reducing the number of permanent-changes-of-station and extending the tour length of officers overseas. Therefore, consistent with H.R. 6271, The Foreign Service Optimization Act of 2016, introduced by Chairman Nunes in the 114th Congress, Section 1501 of the Act amends the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to permit the Secretary of State to allow foreign service officers to serve at an overseas post for a period of not more than six consecutive years. In addition, it requires the Secretary of State, with the assistance of other relevant officials, to require all members of the foreign service who receive language training in Arabic, Farsi, Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese), Turkish, Korean, and Japanese to serve three successive tours in positions in which the acquired language is both relevant and determined to be a benefit to the Department of State--though the Secretary of State may waive that requirement for medical or family hardship reasons, or in the interest of national security. Unauthorized disclosures of classified information The Committee is concerned by the widespread, recent media reports that purport to contain unauthorized disclosures of classified information. Protecting the nation's secrets from unauthorized disclosure is essential to safeguarding our nation's intelligence sources and methods. An unlawful disclosure of classified information can destroy sensitive collection capabilities and endanger American lives, including those individuals who take great personal risks to assist the United States in collecting vital foreign intelligence. Federal law prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, but enforcement is often lacking or inconsistent. Accordingly, the Committee desires to better understand the number of potential unauthorized disclosures discovered and investigated on a routine basis. Moreover, the Committee has little visibility into the number of investigations initiated by each IC agency or the number of criminal referrals to the Department of Justice. Accordingly, Section 1509 of the Act requires all IC agencies to provide the congressional intelligence committee with a semi-annual report of the number of investigations of unauthorized disclosures to journalists or media organizations, including subsequent referrals to the Attorney General. Additionally, the Committee wishes to better understand the role of Inspectors General (IGs) within elements of the IC, with respect to unauthorized disclosures of classified information at those elements. Therefore, the Committee directs the IC IG, within 180 days of enactment of this Act, to provide the congressional intelligence committees with a report regarding the role of IGs with respect to investigating unauthorized disclosures. The report shall address: the roles of IC elements' security personnel and law enforcement regarding unauthorized disclosures; the current role of IGs within IC elements regarding such disclosures; what, if any, specific actions could be taken by such IGs to increase their involvement in the investigation of such matters; any laws, rules or procedures that currently prevent IGs from increasing their involvement; and the benefits and drawbacks of increased IG involvement, to include potential impacts to IG's roles and missions. Presidential Policy Guidance The Presidential Policy Guidance (PPG) dated May 22, 2013, and entitled ``Procedures for Approving Direct Action Against Terrorist Targets Located Outside the United States and Areas of Active Hostilities'' provides for the participation by elements of the IC in reviews of certain proposed counterterrorism operations. The Committee desires to remain fully and currently informed about the status of the PPG and its implementation. Therefore, the Committee directs ODNI, within five days of any change to the PPG, or to any successor policy guidance, to submit to the congressional intelligence committees a written notification thereof, that shall include a summary of the change and the specific legal and policy justification(s) for the change. Centers for Academic Excellence The Committee commends the commitment demonstrated by ODNI's Centers for Academic Excellence (CAE) program managers, IC agencies that sponsored CAE interns, and all other personnel who contributed to making the inaugural edition of the CAE Internship Program a reality in summer 2017. The Committee expects the CAE Program to build on this foundation by showing measurable, swift progress, and ultimately fulfilling Congress's intent that the Program serve as a pipeline of the next generation of IC professionals. Therefore, the Committee directs that the IC take all viable action to expand the CAE Program by increasing, to the fullest extent possible: 1. The number and racial and gender diversity of CAE interns; 2. The number of CAE academic institutions and their qualified internship candidates participating in the Program; and 3. The number of IC elements that sponsor CAE interns. Report on violent extremist groups Violent extremist groups like ISIS continue to exploit the Internet for nefarious purposes: to inspire lone wolves; to spread propaganda; to recruit foreign fighters; and to plan and publicize atrocities. As the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) has stated publicly: [W]e need to counter our adversaries' successful use of social media platforms to advance their propaganda goals, raise funds, recruit, coordinate travel and attack plans, and facilitate operations. . . . Our future work must focus on denying our adversaries the capability to spread their messages to at-risk populations that they can reach through the use of these platforms. Section 403 of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 required the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), consistent with the protection of sources and methods, to assist public and private sector entities in recognizing online violent extremist content--specifically, by making publicly available a list of insignias and logos associated with foreign extremist groups designated by the Secretary of State. The Committee believes the IC can take further steps. Therefore, the Committee directs the Director of NCTC, in coordination with appropriate other officials designated by the DNI, within 180 days of enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence committees on options for a pilot program to develop and continually update best practices for private technology companies to quickly recognize and lawfully take down violent extremist content online. Such briefing shall address: 1. The feasibility, risks, costs, and benefits of such a program; 2. The U.S. Government agencies and private sector entities that would participate; and 3. Any additional authorities that would be required by the program's establishment. South China Sea The South China Sea is an area of great geostrategic importance to the United States and its allies. However, China's controversial territorial claims and other actions stand to undercut international norms and erode the region's stability. It is thus imperative the United States uphold respect for international law in the South China Sea. Fulfilling that objective in turn will require an optimal intelligence collection posture. Therefore, the Committee directs the Department of Defense (DoD), in coordination with DNI, within 30 days of enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence and defense committees on known intelligence collection gaps, if any, with respect to adversary operations and aims in the South China Sea. The briefing shall identify the gaps and whether those gaps are driven by lack of access, lack of necessary collection capabilities or legal or policy authorities, or by other factors. The briefing shall also identify IC judgments that assess which intelligence disciplines would be best-suited to answer the existing gaps, and current plans to address the gaps over the Future Years Defense Program. Improving analytic automation The Committee continues to support IC and DoD efforts to gather, analyze, manage, and store large amounts of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) data from remote sources. One such effort is the National Geospatial- Intelligence Agency (NGA) program called Expeditionary Large Data Object Repository for Analytics in Deployed Operations. Managing data by making information discoverable to analysts across the globe while reducing storage and analytical access costs are critical steps in the IC and DoD's efforts to leverage commercial best practices in big data analytics. While NGA is at the forefront of such efforts, the Committee is concerned by DoD and IC's slow pace in developing formal requirements for big data analytic capabilities. The Committee understands DoD faces significant challenges in addressing combatant commanders' ISR requirements, and DoD is investing in new collection capabilities that are producing growing volumes of data. However, investments in ground processing, automation, and alert functions have not kept pace. For example, wide area motion imagery collection capabilities have evolved with technology and are producing extremely valuable ISR data, but processing and integration of this data is labor intensive. DoD continues to struggle to apply commercially-available data analysis and machine learning capabilities. The Committee recognizes that DoD's processing, exploitation and dissemination (PED) shortfalls cannot be addressed without integrating commercial data processing and access techniques, and automating as much of the PED workflow as possible. Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)), in coordination with the Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Air Force, Secretary of the Navy, and the DNI, no later than December 1, 2018, brief the congressional intelligence and defense committees on efforts that allow for rapid adoption of data storage, access, and automated processing and machine learning technologies and techniques. Project MAVEN There has been exponential growth in the volume of data available for DoD intelligence professionals to manage, process, exploit, and disseminate. Analysts are in dire need of tools that will support simultaneous access to, and analysis of, data from a multitude of sources and disciplines. The massive quantities of available digital data hold significant promise for improving data analytics, producing more actionable intelligence, and contributing to the employment of a more lethal force. It is critical that DoD invest in new technologies that will bring artificial intelligence, deep learning, and computer vision to streamline the process of object detection, identification, and tracking-- and allow analysts to focus their valuable cognitive capacity on the hardest and highest priority problems. The Committee believes Project MAVEN provides DoD with a critical path to the integration of big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning across the full spectrum of military intelligence to ensure our warfighters maintain advantages over increasingly capable adversaries. Although DoD has taken tentative steps to explore the potential of artificial intelligence, big data, deep learning, and machine learning, the Committee believes Project MAVEN will accelerate DoD's efforts to turn the enormous volume of data available to analysts into actionable intelligence. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with NGA and other relevant IC and DoD agencies, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence and defense committees on Project MAVEN. Such briefing shall address: 1. Schedule and strategy for labeling classified and unclassified data; 2. Algorithm development, production, and deployment strategy; 3. Coordination of integration efforts with other DoD and IC elements; 4. Plan to implement the technologies developed by Project MAVEN technology throughout the defense intelligence enterprise; 5. Additional areas this technological advance can be implemented; and 6. Validated funding requirements and efforts that ensure spending practices are focused and efficient. Report on geospatial commercial activities for basic and applied research and development The Committee directs the Director of NGA, in coordination with the DNI, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Director of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), within 90 days of enactment of this Act, to submit to the congressional intelligence and defense committees a report on the feasibility, risks, costs, and benefits of providing the private sector and academia, on a need-driven and limited basis--consistent with the protection of sources and methods, as well as privacy and civil liberties--access to data in the possession of the NGA for the purpose of assisting the efforts of the private sector and academia in basic research, applied research, data transfers, and the development of automation, artificial intelligence, and associated algorithms. Such report shall include: 1. Identification of any additional authorities the Director of NGA would require to provide the private sector and academia with access to relevant data on a need-driven and limited basis, consistent with applicable laws and procedures relating to the protection of sources, methods, privacy and civil liberties; and 2. Market research to assess the commercial and academic interest in such data and determine likely private-sector entities and institutions of higher education interested in public-private partnerships relating to such data. Military Occupational Specialty-to-Degree program The Committee supports the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS)-to-Degree program, which is an innovative framework that enables enlisted Marines to receive credits towards an associate's or a bachelor's degree while earning required MOS credentials. The program partners with colleges and universities to map a Marine's experience and training to equivalent credit, and provides Marines with an awareness of tuition assistance and scholarship programs to enable them to complete the remaining credits towards their degree. The Committee encourages the Marine Corps to expand the MOS-to- Degree program through further curriculum development and enhanced management of the program. Therefore, the Committee directs the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA), within 90 days of the enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence and defense committees on the Marine Corps' progress towards expanding the MOS-to-Degree program. Unmanned aircraft system pilot retention The Committee supports the Marine Corps' vision to grow a more diverse, lethal, amphibious, and middleweight expeditionary force by leveraging emerging technologies, particularly in the area of unmanned and manned-unmanned teaming. Additionally, the Committee is enthusiastic about the Marine Corps' efforts to equip operating forces down to the squad level with a Small Unit Remote Scouting System Family of Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) capable of operating in all weather conditions across the full spectrum of conflict. The Committee is also aware of the service's concept for a Marine Air Ground Task Force Unmanned Expeditionary (MUX) capability. However, the Committee is concerned with the projected cost and delays associated with developing this new technology and believes the Marine Corps is ill-prepared to address the growing deficiency in expertise and the manpower challenges that will accompany expansion of the unmanned fleet. Based on observations of the Air Force's and Army's efforts, the Committee believes the Marine Corps' UAS programs will experience pilot and maintainer shortages based on inadequate training, lack of reliable equipment, and the absence of incentive. Therefore, the Committee directs the Deputy Commandant of Aviation, within 120 days of enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence and defense committees on potential interim solutions to the gap exposed by the long development time for MUX. Such briefing should also address the Marine Corps' UAS talent management plan, including a strategy for pilot retention and a plan to unify unmanned training that will build a base of instructors and encourage the professionalism of the community. Remotely piloted aircraft training strategy Consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 2810, the House Armed Services Committee (HASC)-passed FY 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (H. Rept. 115-200), the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force, no later than September 28, 2018, to brief the congressional intelligence and defense committees on the Air Force's approach to remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) aircrew training, with a particular focus on how the Air Force plans to field simulator capability and training capacity among active and reserve component units supporting RPA operations. Wide-area motion imagery intelligence capability Consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 2018 NDAA (H. Rept. 115-200), the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force no later than March 1, 2019, to provide to the congressional intelligence and defense committees a report that describes in detail the lifecycle weapon system sustainment and modernization strategy for maintaining an enduring wide-area motion imagery capability for the geographic combatant commanders. MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft system Consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 2018 NDAA (H. Rept. 115-200), the Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy, no later than November 15, 2018, to brief the congressional intelligence and defense committees on MQ-4C mission execution and tasking, collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination (TCPED) processes. The briefing shall include or explain: 1. A framework description of the manning, equipping, and training requirements for the MQ-4C system; 2. A description of the baseline architecture of the mission support infrastructure required to support MQ- 4C operations; 3. How the Navy plans to support and execute the TCPED processes; 4. How the Navy plans to support flying operations from either line-of-sight or beyond-line-of-sight locations; 5. How many aircraft the Navy plans to dedicate annually to the ISR Global Force Management Allocation Process of the DoD; and 6. How many hours of collection the MQ-4C will be able to provide annually in each of the intelligence disciplines for combatant commanders. E-8C joint surveillance and target attack radar system Consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 2018 NDAA (H. Rept. 115-200), the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force, no later than March 1, 2019, to provide to the congressional intelligence and defense committees a report that explains in detail all aspects of how and when the Air Force will transition from legacy Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) aircraft capability to JSTARS recapitalization aircraft capability. Acceleration of Increment 2 of Warfighter Information Network-Tactical program Consistent with Section 111 of H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 2018 NDAA, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army, no later than January 30, 2019, to submit to the congressional intelligence and defense committees a report detailing potential options for the acceleration of procurement and fielding of the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical Increment 2 program. Cost-benefit analysis of upgrades to MQ-9 Consistent with Section 134 of H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 2018 NDAA, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force, within 180 days of enactment of this Act, to provide the congressional intelligence and defense committees an analysis that compares the costs and benefits of the following: 1. Upgrading fielded MQ-9 Reaper aircraft to a Block 5 configuration; and 2. Proceeding with the procurement of MQ-9B aircraft instead of upgrading fielded MQ-9 Reaper aircraft to a Block 5 configuration. Limitation on divestment of U-2 or RQ-4 aircraft The Committee recognizes that both piloted U-2 Dragon Lady and the remotely piloted RQ-4 Global Hawk fleets of aircraft provide essential and extremely sought after high-altitude airborne ISR capabilities for geographic combatant commanders. These platforms have been viewed as competitors for resources, with stakeholders trying to decide which should remain within the Air Force inventory for the long-term. Although the U-2 and RQ-4 have differing attributes that may make one platform preferable depending on requirements, maintaining both platforms provides critical, complementary capabilities within DoD's portfolio of high-altitude ISR assets. Furthermore, retiring either aircraft would exacerbate an existing and significant capability shortfall in meeting combatant commanders' requirements. The Committee expects the Secretary of the Air Force to continue current and future modernization efforts and upgrades for the U-2 and RQ-4 to increase capability, generate synergy, and foster commonality within the high-altitude airborne ISR portfolio. The Committee discourages the Secretary of the Air Force or the Chief of Staff of the Air Force from planning in the future or proposing to Congress any aircraft retirement that would create an ISR capability deficit or capacity shortfalls from existing levels until a sufficient replacement reaches full operational capability. Therefore, consistent with Section 1034 of H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 2018 NDAA, the Committee directs that none of the funds authorized to be appropriated by the Act, or otherwise made available for the DoD for any fiscal year before Fiscal Year 2024, may be obligated or expended to prepare to divest, place in storage, or place in a status awaiting further disposition of the possessing commander any U-2 or RQ-4 aircraft for the DoD. This prohibition shall not apply to an individual U-2 or RQ-4 aircraft that the Secretary of the Air Force determines, on a case-by-case basis, to be non-returnable to flying service due to any mishap, other damage, or being uneconomical to repair. Nonconventional assisted recovery Consistent with Section 1053 of H.R. 2810, the HASC-passed FY 2018 NDAA, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, no later than March 1, 2019, to submit to the congressional intelligence and defense committees the written review and assessment of personnel recovery and nonconventional assisted recovery programs. The assessment shall include: 1. An overall strategy defining personnel recovery and nonconventional assisted recovery programs and activities, including how such programs and activities support the requirements of the geographic combatant commanders; 2. A comprehensive review and assessment of statutory authorities, policies, and interagency coordination mechanisms, including limitations and shortfalls, for personnel recovery and nonconventional assisted recovery programs and activities; 3. A comprehensive description of current and anticipated future personnel recovery and nonconventional assisted recovery requirements across the Future Years Defense Program, as validated by the Joint Staff; and 4. An overview of validated current and expected future force structure requirements necessary to meet near-, mid-, and long-term personnel recovery and nonconventional assisted recovery programs and activities of the geographic combatant commanders. The Committee further directs the Comptroller General of the United States, within 90 days of the date on which the assessment is submitted, to submit to the congressional intelligence and defense committees a review of such assessment. Division B: FY19 Intelligence Authorization Act Policy on minimum insider threat standards Executive Order 13587 and the National Insider Threat Task Force established minimum insider threat standards. Such standards are required for the responsible sharing and safeguarding of classified information on computer networks while ensuring consistent, appropriate protections for privacy and civil liberties. The Committee understands there are policies in place to attempt implementation of such standards; however, the Committee has found that several elements of the IC have not fully implemented such standards. Therefore, given the several high-profile insider threat issues, the Committee emphasizes the importance of such minimums by statutorily requiring the DNI to establish a policy on minimum insider threat standards, and IC elements should expeditiously establish their own policies and implement the DNI guidance. Further, consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, the Committee directs the Chief Management Officer to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by November 1, 2018, on the outcomes of its cost and technical analyses required by this report, and the Department's efforts to implement enterprise-wide programs and policies for insider threat detection, user activity monitoring, and cyber-attack detection and remediation. Intelligence Community Information Technology Environment The Committee remains supportive of the goals of Intelligence Community Information Technology Environment (IC ITE) and the importance of the common, secure sharing infrastructure it creates. The Committee further understands that the path to implement a complex, technical environment such as IC ITE needs to be sufficiently flexible and agile. However, the Committee remains concerned with the lack of consistency and substance in previous reports and briefings on IC ITE. Therefore, Section 2307 statutorily requires a long- term roadmap, business plan, and security plan that shall be reported to the Committee at least quarterly with additional notifications as necessary. Intelligence Community Chief Financial Officer The Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act of 1990 mandated best practices for decision-making and accountability, as well as improved decision-makers' access to reliable and timely financial and performance information. The CFO Act, as amended, requires that the chief financial officers of 24 departments and agencies ``report directly to the head of the agency regarding financial management matters.'' Section 2401 brings the ODNI in line with the best practices implemented in the CFO Act. Intelligence Community Chief Information Officer As codified in 44 U.S.C. 3506(a)(1)(A), each federal agency head is responsible for ``carrying out the information resources management activities to improve agency productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness.'' Accordingly, Section 2402 expresses the Committee's intent to emphasize the importance of the IC Chief Information Officer (CIO), as defined in 50 U.S.C. 3032(a), in assisting the DNI with information resource management by requiring the IC CIO to directly report to the DNI. Central Intelligence Agency subsistence for personnel assigned to austere locations Section 2411 permits the Director of the CIA to allow subsistence for personnel assigned to austere locations. Although the statute does not define ``austere,'' the Committee believes that utilization of this authority should be minimal. Therefore, within 180 days after the enactment of this Act, the CIA shall brief the congressional intelligence committees on the CIA's definition of ``austere'' and the CIA regulations in place governing this authority. Collocation of certain Department of Homeland Security personnel at field locations The Committee supports the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Bureau of Intelligence and Analysis' (I&A) intent to integrate into operations across the broader DHS enterprise. Accordingly, Section 2431 directs DHS I&A to deploy at least 40 personnel outside DHS Headquarters in Washington, D.C. for the purposes of collocating such personnel with DHS operational units from Customs and Border Protection, Transportation Security Administration, Immigration and Customers Enforcement, or other elements of DHS. DHS I&A Headquarter shall not be backfilled by hiring new employees to replace those transferred. Framework for roles, missions, and functions of the Defense Intelligence Agency The Committee commends the work of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to answer a request in the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (division N of Public Law 115-31) to review the roles and missions of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The Committee agrees with the Under Secretary's finding identifying a gap in Department of Defense coordination of the functions of the DIA, as a combat support agency (CSA) that is a member of the IC. The Director of the DIA reports to both the Secretary of Defense and the DNI; however, the agency lacks a framework to balance the resourcing and mission conflicts this bifurcated chain of command may occasionally cause. Therefore, consistent with directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, not later than October 1, 2018, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the DNI, to develop policies that outline the process to balance the missions under DIA's CSA role with the missions and functions assigned by the intelligence community. These policies must address a process for assigning and integrating any new missions assigned by the DoD or the IC. The Committee further directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the DNI, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent Select Committee not later than October 15, 2018, on the plan to develop these policies. Construction of National Security Agency East Campus Building 3 Construction authorized under this Act for the National Security Agency's (NSA) East Campus should prioritize the consolidation of National Intelligence mission activities, including by minimizing the distribution of NSA throughout the Baltimore-Washington region. The Committee believes that co- location of NSA's National Intelligence mission activities within a shared security perimeter and with modern facilities, will improve the efficient execution of mission requirements, and provide important workforce morale improvement. East Campus Building 3, as authorized in Section 2434 of this Act, may be constructed in increments subject to annual appropriations, but shall not exceed the total authorized amount of $775 million. Congressional authorization of East Campus Building 3 constitutes authorization to proceed and NSA shall conduct necessary activities in Fiscal Year 2019 to avoid delay in project completion. Limitations on Intelligence Community elements' communications with Congress Effective oversight of the IC requires unencumbered communications between representatives of the agencies, members of Congress, and congressional staff. The Committee directs the DNI not to limit any element of the IC from having interactions with the congressional intelligence committees, including but not limited to, preclearance by the DNI of remarks, briefings, discussions of agency resources or authorities requirements, or mandatory reports to the DNI on conversations with the congressional intelligence committees. National Reconnaissance Office contracting restrictions The Committee is concerned that NRO imposes unnecessary contractual restrictions that prohibit or discourage a contractor from contacting, meeting with, or providing information to the members or staff of the congressional intelligence committees. Therefore, the Committee directs NRO to eliminate any restrictions prohibiting or discouraging contractors from contacting, meeting with, or providing information to the congressional intelligence committees in all current and future contracts. Furthermore, the Committee directs the NRO to provide a briefing to the congressional intelligence committees not later than December 1, 2018 regarding completion of the aforementioned direction. Intelligence community support to the National Vetting Center On February 6, 2018, the President issued National Security Policy Memorandum (NSPM)-9, ``Presidential Memorandum on Optimizing the Use of Federal Government Information in Support of National Vetting Enterprise.'' The memorandum directs the DHS, in coordination with the ODNI and other agencies, to establish the National Vetting Center. The memorandum also requires agencies to ``provide the Center access to relevant biographic, biometric, and related derogatory information.'' It further directs DNI, in coordination with the heads of relevant IC elements, to ``establish a support element to facilitate, guide, and coordinate all IC efforts to use classified intelligence and other relevant information within the IC holdings in support of the center.'' The Committee wishes to obtain regular updates and the most current information about the activities of that support element. Therefore, no later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act and annually thereafter, the Committee directs the DNI and the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis at DHS to brief the congressional intelligence committees on the status of IC support to the National Vetting Center, as established by NSPM-9. Update on status of Attorney General-approved U.S. person procedures under Executive Order 12333 The Committee acknowledges the difficult, labor-intensive work undertaken by certain IC elements, to ensure the current effectiveness of, and in some cases to substantially revise, final Attorney General-approved procedures regarding the collection, dissemination, and retention of United States persons information. The Committee wishes to better understand the status of this project, throughout the IC. Therefore, the Committee directs that, not later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, the DNI and the Attorney General shall brief the congressional intelligence committees on the issuance of final, Attorney General-approved procedures by elements of the IC. Specifically, the briefing shall identify (1) any such elements that have not yet issued final procedures; and (2) with respect to such elements, the status of the procedures' development, and any interim guidance or procedures on which those elements currently rely. Homegrown violent extremists imprisoned in Department of Defense facilities The Committee is concerned about an evident gap in information sharing about individuals imprisoned in DoD facilities who are categorized by the FBI as homegrown violent extremists (HVEs). An example is the case of Nidal Hasan, who has been convicted and sentenced to death by a U.S. military court martial and remains incarcerated in a U.S. military facility. The Committee understands that, despite his incarceration, Hasan openly communicates with the outside world through written correspondence and has continued to inspire extremists throughout the world. Indeed, while in custody, Hasan wrote a 454-page manifesto on the value of engaging in violent jihad which contains radical interpretations of the Koran justifying the commission of violent jihad. The Committee further understands that the FBI is unable to determine the full scope of Hasan's contacts with the outside world because only a portion of his communications have been provided by the DoD. Therefore, no later than 180 days after the enactment of the Act, the Committee directs the FBI to work with the DoD to create a process by which the DoD provides to the FBI the complete communications of individuals imprisoned in DoD facilities and who are categorized by the FBI as HVEs. Naming of Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters According to statute enacted in 1972, the current FBI headquarters building in Washington, D.C. must be ``known and designated'' as the ``J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building.'' That tribute has aged poorly. It should be reconsidered, in view of Hoover's record on civil liberties--including the effort to disparage and undermine Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Even today, Hoover's name evokes the Bureau's sordid ``COINTELPRO'' activities. The Committee believes Congress should consider repealing the provision requiring the existing Pennsylvania Avenue building to be known as the ``J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building''. A new name should be determined, through a joint dialogue among Bureau leadership, law enforcement personnel, elected officials, and civil rights leaders. Foundational intelligence analysis modernization Consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, the Committee directs the Joint Staff Director for Intelligence, in coordination with the USD(I) and the Director of the DIA, to develop a plan by October 1, 2018, to modernize systems used to provide foundational intelligence. Further, the Committee directs the Joint Staff Director for Intelligence, in coordination with the DIA Director, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by November 1, 2018, on such plan to modernize foundational intelligence systems. If a determination is made that a new system is required, the Committee expects the Battlespace Awareness Functional Capabilities Board to validate the requirements for any new system, and that the acquisition plan will follow best practices for the rapid acquisition and improvement of technology dependent systems. Intelligence support to cyber operations Consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, the Committee directs the USD(I), in coordination with the DIA and the military services, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by December 1, 2018, on intelligence support to cyber operations. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math careers in defense intelligence Consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, the Committee directs the Director of DIA to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence not later than December 1, 2018, on a plan to develop a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math career program that attracts and maintains the defense intelligence cadre of Science and Technical Intelligence analysts to meet tomorrow's threats. Security and intelligence role in export control Consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, in coordination with the USD(I), to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence not later than October 1, 2018, on security support to export control. Security clearance background investigation reciprocity Consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the DNI and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, not later than October 1, 2018, to brief the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on efforts to ensure seamless transition of investigations between authorized investigative agencies, as required by law. Further, consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the DNI and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, not later than November 1, 2018, to brief the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on efforts to ensure reciprocity is a consideration for implementation of continuous evaluation and continuous vetting across the federal government. Strengthening oversight of the military intelligence program budget In directive language found in the committee accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC-passed FY 2019 NDAA, the House Committee on Armed Services directed the USD(I) to ``review all of the Department's intelligence, counterintelligence, and related intelligence programs, projects, and activities supporting the Secretary's responsibilities and requirements.'' Regarding this review, the report expressed the House Committee on Armed Services' expectation that USD(I) would note that the [the House Committee on Armed Services] believes resources for sensors integral to the function of weapon systems, sensors and systems developed for space and missile defense, and resources for activities and programs associated with Operational Preparation of the Environment and Nonconventional Assisted Recovery are in support of operational requirements, and should be excluded from designation to the MIP. The Committee expects that USD(I), in addition to noting the belief of the House Committee on Armed Services, also will note this Committee's belief that: (1) merely deeming certain resources to be ``in support of operational requirements'' is insufficient to exclude such resources from designation to the MIP; and that: (2) the determination of whether to designate resources to the MIP involves a substantive examination, of whether such resources will be used for activities that are substantially similar, if not equivalent to, intelligence and intelligence activities. Additionally, and consistent with the directive language found in the committee report accompanying H.R. 5515, the HASC- passed FY 2019 NDAA, the Committee directs USD(I) to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence by March 1, 2019, on the results of the USD(I) review directed by H.R. 5515, including how the review will result in clear guidance on designation of programs, projects, and activities to the MIP. Intelligence community leave policies It is imperative that the federal government recruit, hire, and retain a highly qualified workforce. That depends in part on offering federal personnel a competitive benefits package-- including with respect to parental leave and related benefits. Toward that end, the Committee strongly believes the federal government, including elements of the IC, must align such benefits to the fullest extent possible with those of leading U.S. private sector companies and other industrialized countries. The Committee is concerned that IC elements may not have fully implemented revised advanced sick leave policies as outlined in the Presidential memorandum Modernizing Federal Leave Policies for Childbirth, Adoption and Foster Care to Recruit and Retain Talent and Improve Productivity, dated January 15, 2015, or implemented them only partially. Among other things, the memorandum directs that, to the extent permitted by law, agencies shall offer 240 hours of advanced sick leave, at the request of an employee and in appropriate circumstances, in connection with the birth or adoption of a child or for other sick leave eligible uses. Additionally, beyond the memorandum's requirements, the Committee also believes IC elements should actively be exploring ways to enhance their parental leave policies, to include paid parental leave. Therefore, not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the DNI shall submit a written report to the intelligence committees on each IC element's implementation of the Memorandum's requirements with respect to parental leave. The report should be unclassified, but may contain a classified annex if necessary. At a minimum, such report shall: (1) summarize each element's policies with respect to parental leave and related benefits; (2) identify those elements fully in compliance with the Memorandum's requirements with respect to parental leave and other benefits described by the Memorandum; (3) identify elements not in compliance with such requirements; (4) as applicable, note and evaluate the sufficiency of any claimed explanation from an IC element, as to why its policies do not yet fully comply with such requirements; (5) as applicable, identify a projected date, no later than 180 days after the report's submission, by which the Memorandum will be fully implemented by all IC elements; and (6) describe any barriers identified by the Director or an element of the IC--including any legal and resource barriers--to the establishment, for each element of the IC, of a paid parental leave policy. Foreign Influence Task Force The IC has warned of active measures taken by foreign actors to interfere with and undermine the U.S. democratic process, most recently and brazenly by the Russian Federation. The committee appreciates FBI efforts to confront this challenge in part through creation of its Foreign Influence Task Force. The Committee believes that confronting foreign influence directed at the United States is of fundamental importance, and thus desires to engage in a close and regular dialogue with the FBI about the task force's activities. Therefore, the Committee directs the FBI to provide detailed, quarterly briefings to the congressional intelligence committees, regarding the task force's activities, to include its progress and any significant challenges. Joint System Integration Lab annual briefing The Joint System Integration Lab (JSIL) at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama enables testing of critical military intelligence capabilities, including unmanned aerial system (UAS) sensors, modeling and simulation, and integration between and among service UASs. The Committee seeks to remain fully and currently informed about this important work. Therefore, the Committee directs the JSIL, within 180 days of enactment and annually for two years thereafter, to brief the congressional intelligence and defense committees, on intelligence and intelligence-related activities conducted by the JSIL. Management of the Centers of Academic Excellence in National Security Studies The IC's Centers of Academic Excellence in National Security Studies (CAE) program was established in 2004 to serve the mission-critical objectives of educating highly qualified students of diverse backgrounds and encouraging them to pursue careers in the IC. The ODNI has designated the DIA as the Executive Agent of the program. In the past, the ODNI collected information about involvement in the CAE program by IC elements and educational institutions, as well as demographic (gender, minority, disability), educational, employment, and other data on the participating students. The ODNI reported this information to Congress in 2010 on the period covering 2004-2009. However, despite continuing Congressional interest in this program, the IC has apparently ceased collection and analysis of such data. More critically, ODNI and DIA informed the House Intelligence Committee that the IC currently cannot provide statistical evidence as to whether, or to what extent, the CAE program is fulfilling its objectives. Congress directed in Fiscal Year 2016 that ODNI establish a dedicated CAE summer internship program, but the first effort in summer 2017 did not yield the anticipated diversity of summer interns or robust participation of IC elements. The summer 2018 internship program also did not appear to be postured to demonstrate significant progress. Accordingly, the Committee directs ODNI to serve as the Executive Agent for CAE on a permanent and non-delegable basis no later than 6 months into Fiscal Year 2019. In addition, the Committee directs ODNI to immediately resume collection and analysis of data necessary to evaluate the IC CAE's performance, to include educational, employment, diversity, and other data that was used to produce ODNI's 2010 report. Within 180 days of enactment of this Act, the Committee directs ODNI to submit a written report to the congressional intelligence committees containing this data from the 2016-2018 academic years, as well as metrics about the total number of students who participated in CAE courses, seminars, internships, or other events; the number of students designated as CAE scholars pursuing a certificate; and the number of CAE certificates awarded during this timeframe, with a demographic breakdown regarding diversity. The Committee believes that the IC CAE program should undergo a fundamental review to determine what changes can be made to allow the program to achieve its intended objectives and has requested a review be conducted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Therefore, the Committee also directs the IC to fully cooperate with the GAO review. Enhancing automation at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency The Committee strongly supports efforts to leverage commercial advances in automation of imagery, Wide Area Motion Imagery (WAMI), Full Motion Video (FMV), and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) products to reduce manual processing and improve information flow to users. However, the Committee is concerned that NGA does not dedicate adequate resources to integrate new automation techniques which have resulted in years of research into the issue, but limited operational gains during day to day imagery processing. Therefore, the Committee directs NGA, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence and defense committees on an updated plan to reduce manual processing of imagery, WAMI, FMV, and SAR to improve information flow to users. The briefing shall also address: 1. NGA's strategy to leverage commercial advances; 2. The various geospatial intelligence automated exploitation development programs across the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence, and the associated funding and specific purpose of said programs; 3. Any similar efforts by government entities outside the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence of which NGA is aware; and 4. Which of these efforts are duplicative. Redundant organic software development The Committee is concerned that NGA is developing software solutions that are otherwise available for purchase on the commercial market. This practice most always, increases the time it takes to deliver new capabilities to the warfighter; increases the overall cost of the solution through expensive operational and maintenance costs; and undermines the U.S. software industrial base. Therefore, the Committee directs NGA, within 60 days of enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence committees, on its identification of all NGA developed software programs and explain why such program are developed organically instead of leveraging commercially available products. Critical skills recruiting for automation Although cutting edge sensors have provided the IC and DoD with exquisite imagery, WAMI, and FMV, intelligence analysts are unable to keep pace with the volume of data being generated. This demands a transformation in the way the intelligence enterprise processes, organizes, and presents data. For that reason, the committee fully supports the NGA's efforts to attract, recruit, and retain a highly competent workforce that can acquire and integrate new data automation tools. Therefore, the Committee directs NGA, within 60 days of enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence and defense committees on NGA's efforts to recruit critical skills such as mathematicians, data scientists, and software engineers that possess critical skills needed to support NGA's objectives in automation. Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities The Committee has become aware of several major impediments for companies with appropriately cleared personnel to perform work for agencies and organizations like the NRO and NGA. For example, businesses without ownership of a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), which includes many small businesses, find it very difficult to perform classified work. Construction and accreditation of SCIF spaces may be cost-prohibitive for small business and non-traditional government contractors. Additionally, construction timelines often exceed the period of performance of a contract. A modern trend for innovative and non-traditional government contractors is the increase use of co-working space environments. Additionally, public and private entities are partnering to create emerging regional innovation hubs to help identify technology solutions and products in the private sector that can be utilized by the DoD and IC. These innovation hubs currently produce an agile, neutral, but largely unclassified development environment. Therefore, the Committee directs NRO and NGA, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence committees on: 1. Potential approaches to allow for SCIF spaces to be certified and accredited outside of a traditional contractual arrangement; 2. Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of issuing DoD Contract Security Specification (DD Form 254s) to ``Facilities'' as opposed to ``Contracts''; 3. Options for classified co-use and shared workspace environments such as: innovation, incubation, catalyst, and accelerator environments; 4. Pros and cons for public, private, government, or combination owned classified neutral facilities; and 5. Any other opportunities to support companies with appropriately cleared personnel but without ownership of a SCIF effective access to a neutral SCIF. Encouraging innovation The committee is aware of and supports the NRO as it continues to pursue innovation and incorporate innovative technologies into many programs of record (POR). However, while the NRO is one of the more innovative leaders regarding government satellite matters, the NRO also struggles to leverage commercial and government research and development efforts and incorporate them in an effective and timely manner into PORs. Therefore, the Committee directs NRO, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence committees on the following: 1. Opportunities that could expand innovation; 2. Any challenges for innovation; and 3. How innovative or new technologies are incorporated to support critical milestones for PORs. Improving use of the unclassified marketplaces The Committee has become aware that a major impediment for companies to perform work for agencies and organizations like the NRO is the lack of postings on unclassified marketplaces, such as the unclassified Acquisition Resource Center (ARC). Instead of posting data to unclassified marketplaces, NRO unclassified postings often refer to classified systems for critical, yet unclassified information. If the NRO is serious about embracing commercial innovation, unclassified marketplace postings should remain on unclassified systems. Therefore, the Committee directs NRO, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, to brief the congressional intelligence committees on options for improving the unclassified marketplace process. Satellite servicing No later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the DNI, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, shall jointly provide the congressional intelligence and armed services committees upon request, a briefing detailing the costs, risks, and operation benefits of leveraging commercial satellite servicing capabilities for national security satellite systems. The briefing shall include: 1. A prioritized list (with a rationale) of the operational and planned assets of the IC that could be enhanced by satellite servicing missions; 2. The costs, risks, and benefits of integrating satellite servicing capabilities as part of operational resilience; and 3. Potential strategies that could allow future national security space systems to leverage commercial in-orbit servicing capabilities where appropriate and feasible. Enhanced oversight of IC contractors A topic of sustained Committee interest has been improving the federal government's oversight of IC acquisition and procurement practices, including activities by poorly performing IC contractors. A framework exists to ensure that IC elements do not award IC contracts to businesses that engage in negligence or even gross negligence, consistently fail to appropriately safeguard classified information, maintain poor financial practices, or other issues. For example, an IC element may maintain a list of contractors of concern, in order to ensure that proposals from such contractors are rejected or subjected to additional scrutiny. The Committee wishes to build on these practices and is concerned about the existing framework's adequacy. Therefore, the Committee directs all elements of the IC, to the fullest extent consistent with applicable law and policy, to share with one another information about contractors with track records of concern--such as the commission of negligence or gross negligence in the performance of IC contracts, or the repeated failure to appropriately safeguard classified information in a fashion that the contractor reasonably could have been expected to prevent. Additionally, no later than 30 days after enactment of this Act, the DNI shall brief the Committee on the authorities of IC elements with respect to contractors with track records of concern--before, during, and after procurement. An objective of the briefing will be to discuss information sharing practices in this regard, and to identify specific areas where the oversight framework can be strengthened. Committee Consideration and Roll Call Votes On June 28, 2018, the Committee met in open session to consider H.R. 6237 and ordered the bill favorably reported. In open session, the Committee considered an amendment in the nature of a substitute, offered by Mr. Nunes to H.R. 6237. The amendment was adopted by a voice vote.

Oversight Findings and Recommendations With respect to clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee held multiple hearings on the classified budgetary issues raised by H.R. 6237. The bill, as reported by the Committee, reflects conclusions reached by the Committee in light of this oversight activity. General Performance Goals And Objectives The goals and objectives of H.R. 6237 are to authorize the intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States Government for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019. These activities enhance the national security of the United States, support and assist the armed forces of the United States, and support the President in the execution of the foreign policy of the United States. The classified annexes that accompany this report reflect in great detail the Committee's specific performance goals and objectives at the programmatic level with respect to classified programs. Unfunded Mandate Statement Section 423 of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act (as amended by Section 101(a)(2) of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, P.L. 104-4) requires a statement of whether the provisions of the reported bill include unfunded mandates. In compliance with this requirement, the Committee has received a letter from the Congressional Budget Office included herein. U.S. Congress, Congressional Budget Office, Washington, DC, June 29, 2018. Hon. Devin Nunes, Chairman, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has completed a preliminary estimate of the direct spending effects of H.R. 6237, the Matthew Young Pollard Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019, as ordered reported by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on June 28, 2018. This preliminary estimate is based on language provided by the Committee on June 28, 2018. CBO's complete cost estimate for H.R. 6237, including discretionary costs, will be provided shortly. On a preliminary basis, CBO estimates that enacting the bill would affect direct spending by making changes to the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System to enhance the benefits offered to certain annuitants; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, we estimate that those effects would be less than $500,000 over the 2019-2028 period. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues. If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is William Ma. Sincerely, Keith Hall, Director. Statement on Congressional Earmarks Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee states that the bill as reported contains no congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits.

COMPUTATION OF ANNUITIES. (a) Annuity of Participant.-- (1) Computation of annuity.--The annuity of a participant is the product of-- (A) the participant's high-3 average pay (as defined in paragraph (4)); and (B) the number of years, not exceeding 35, of service credit (determined in accordance with sections 251 and 252) multiplied by 2 percent. (2) Credit for unused sick leave.--The total service of a participant who retires on an immediate annuity (except under section 231) or who dies leaving a survivor or survivors entitled to an annuity shall include (without regard to the 35-year limitation prescribed in paragraph (1)) the days of unused sick leave to the credit of the participant. Days of unused sick leave may not be counted in determining average basic pay or eligibility for an annuity under this title. A deposit shall not be required for days of unused sick leave credited under this paragraph. (3) Crediting of part-time service.-- (A) In general.--In the case of a participant whose service includes service on a part-time basis performed after April 6, 1986, the participant's annuity shall be the sum of the amounts determined under subparagraphs (B) and (C). (B) Computation of pre-april 7, 1986, annuity.--The portion of an annuity referred to in subparagraph (A) with respect to service before April 7, 1986, shall be the amount computed under paragraph (1) using the participant's length of service before that date (increased by the unused sick leave to the credit of the participant at the time of retirement) and the participant's high-3 average pay[.], as determined by using the annual rate of basic pay that would be payable for full-time service in that position. (C) Computation of post-april 6, 1986, annuity.--The portion of an annuity referred to in subparagraph (A) with respect to service after April 6, 1986, shall be the product of-- (i) the amount computed under paragraph (1), using the participant's length of service after that date and the participant's high-3 average pay, as determined by using the annual rate of basic pay that would be payable for full-time service; and (ii) the ratio which the participant's actual service after April 6, 1986 (as determined by prorating the participant's total service after that date to reflect the service that was performed on a part- time basis) bears to the total service after that date that would be creditable for the participant if all the service had been performed on a full-time basis. (D) Treatment of employment on temporary or intermittent basis.--Employment on a temporary or intermittent basis shall not be considered to be service on a part-time basis for purposes of this paragraph. (4) High-3 average pay defined.--For purposes of this subsection, a participant's high-3 average pay is the amount of the participant's average basic pay for the highest 3 consecutive years of the participant's service for which full contributions have been made to the fund.

(C) Joint election of participant and former spouse.--If a participant or former participant has a former spouse, such participant and the participant's former spouse may jointly elect by spousal agreement under section 264(b) to waive, reduce, or increase a survivor annuity under section 222(b) for that former spouse. Any such election must be made (i) before the end of the [12-month] 2-year period beginning on the date on which the divorce or annulment involving that former spouse becomes final, or (ii) at the time of retirement of the participant, whichever is later.

The reduction shall be determined by multiplying the participant's monthly Social Security benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the participant's total military wages and deemed additional wages (within the meaning of section 229 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 429)) that were subject to Social Security deductions and the denominator of which is the total of all the participant's wages, including military wages, and all self-employment income that were subject to Social Security deductions before the calendar year in which the determination month occurs. (B) The reduction determined in accordance with subparagraph (A) shall not be greater than the reduction that would be required under paragraph (1) if such paragraph applied to the participant. The new formula shall be applicable to any annuity payment payable after October 1, 1982, including annuity payments to participants who had previously reached age 62 and whose annuities had already been recomputed. (C) For purposes of this paragraph, the term ``determination month'' means-- (i) the first month for which the participant is entitled to old-age or survivors' insurance benefits (or would be entitled to such benefits upon application therefor); or (ii) October 1982, in the case of any participant entitled to such benefits for that month.

(B) The amount of such payments shall be based on such evidence of basic pay for military service as the participant may provide or, if the Director determines sufficient evidence has not been provided to adequately determine basic pay for military service, such payment shall be based upon estimates of such basic pay provided to the Director under paragraph (4). (2) Any deposit made under paragraph (1) more than two years after the later of-- (A) October 1, 1983, or (B) the date on which the participant making the deposit first becomes an employee of the Federal Government, shall include interest on such amount computed and compounded annually beginning on the date of expiration of the two-year period. The interest rate that is applicable in computing interest in any year under this paragraph shall be equal to the interest rate that is applicable for such year under section 8334(e) of title 5, United States Code. (3) Any payment received by the Director under this subsection shall be deposited in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of the fund.

MINORITY VIEWS The House Intelligence Committee's Minority Members support the Matthew Young Pollard Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA) for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019, a bipartisan measure that the Committee approved by unanimous voice vote on June 28, 2018. This year's IAA authorizes intelligence funding in the base budget at roughly 1.9% above the President's FY19 budget request and funds Overseas Contingency Operations at roughly the President's request. The annual IAA ensures that the programs and activities of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), including Department of Defense (DoD) intelligence elements, are congressionally authorized and appropriately resourced to protect the nation from threats at home and abroad. This critical piece of legislation is also the primary tool by which Congress exercises oversight of the National and Military Intelligence Programs. The IAA helps ensure that Executive Branch decisions about our most closely held programs and secret activities operate within the law and are consistent with our national values and commitment to individual liberty, a responsibility vital to the healthy functioning of our democracy. In conducting oversight of the IC and DoD, the Minority remains committed to holding the Administration accountable in maintaining several efforts championed by Committee Democrats over many years: (1) ensuring that the work of IC elements meets constitutional and statutory requirements; (2) addressing all global threats; (3) improving public transparency; (4) investing in the workforce and strengthening diversity; and (5) responding to current and future challenges. ENSURING LEGITIMACY & EFFECTIVENESS IC elements operate largely in secret and sometimes must take aggressive action to protect national security. This arrangement confers operational advantages but entails considerable risk of abuse and excess if not held in check by the appropriate congressional entities. A central goal of congressional oversight is to guarantee the fullest measure of legitimacy and effectiveness of IC and DoD activities, despite the need for secrecy--for example, through the requirement to notify the congressional intelligence committees of covert action findings authorized by the President. The FY19 IAA addresses legitimacy through several Minority- authored provisions that direct the IC to undertake, or not undertake, certain covert action activities. The bill also requires that the IC report to the congressional intelligence committees about certain Executive Branch processes to ensure that covert action findings support broader U.S. foreign policy objectives. The Minority believes that Congress has a significant role to play in oversight of the most sensitive national security policies, and this year's bill exercises that role in meaningful ways. ADDRESSING ALL GLOBAL THREATS Nearly two decades of war have seized the attention of the IC, DoD, policymakers and the public--sometimes at the expense of attention to hard target countries such as China, Russia, North Korea and Iran. While counterterrorism appropriately remains a cornerstone of IC and DoD activity, we must also allocate significant resources to respond to hard targets, as well as vulnerable and fractured states, and supply chain and technical risks. Although there is recognition within the IC and DoD of the need to realign resources to more fully respond to the myriad threats we face, we can and should do more to rebalance spending and better prioritize all global threats. As such, the FY18 and FY19 combined IAA seeks to better prepare the IC and DoD not only to respond to but to preempt these threats. A provision in the bill requires that the IC report to the intelligence committees regarding the roles, responsibilities and resources necessary to respond to malign foreign influence operations, and funding increases support counterterrorism and efforts to counter Russia, China and North Korea. Additionally, the bill makes permanent an expiring, enhanced authority for the IC to guard against risks to its supply chain from state and non-state actors. EXPANDING TRANSPARENCY A healthy democracy demands a sufficient level of government transparency about the actions, intentions and effectiveness of its intelligence apparatus--not only in real time, but retrospectively, so that the country might continue the positive efforts of the IC and DoD and, where relevant, reflect on any negatives. The declassification of IC records of historical significance is one mechanism to achieve this. The Public Interest Declassification Review Board (PIDB) advises the President and agencies on the review and declassification of such records. This year's IAA reauthorizes the PIDB for 10 years, allowing the Board to continue its vital work to responsibly release to the public historical information about IC elements' activities. In addition, the bill includes a Minority-authored provision requiring a briefing to certain congressional leaders and committees if the United States faces a significant foreign cyber intrusion or active measures campaign directed at a federal election. This measure maximizes transparency and enables Congress to determine whether, and in what form, to provide the public with information about such a campaign or intrusion. INVESTING IN THE WORKFORCE & STRENGTHENING DIVERSITY To attract the best talent to the IC and DoD, agencies and departments must provide a work environment and benefits that are commensurate with the challenging but essential role of public servants. Some IC entities have explored non-traditional ways to recruit, clear and retain employees, such as one-time signing bonuses and flexible work arrangements. However, there is still much work to be done. This bill takes needed steps, including by bolstering the authority of heads of IC elements to appropriately compensate IC professionals with science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) backgrounds and by authorizing the Director of the National Security Agency to set special pay rates for cyber professionals. Attracting the best talent to the IC and DoD also means providing opportunities for historically under-represented groups to enter the workforce through formal and informal pipelines. Although women, minorities, and those with disabilities have joined the IC and DoD in increasing numbers, these groups often remain in junior positions rather than rising to the highest levels of leadership. For years, congressional direction, funding and legislation have sought to increase entry opportunities for under-represented groups. However, IC and DoD elements have not adopted all conduits for the entrance, promotion and retention of new talent. To improve the pipeline for under-represented groups to join IC elements, the FY19 IAA increases funding for, and includes direction regarding the Centers of Academic Excellence, an internship program established in 2004 to educate highly qualified students of diverse backgrounds and encourage them to pursue careers in the IC. As the IC and DoD meet increasingly complex global challenges, we must summon diverse perspectives able to collect intelligence about, analyze and respond to such challenges in the most effective and thoughtful ways possible. RESPONDING TO CURRENT & FUTURE CHALLENGES Even as we address the threats of today, the IC and DoD must invest in and be prepared to anticipate and respond to the challenges of the future. Investments in U.S. government innovation and modernization have not kept pace with some of our most aggressive adversaries, threatening to create a future in which the United States falls behind. Rather than face that fate, the IC and DoD must invest resources wisely, while also leveraging the power and innovation resident in our National Labs, U.S. commercial entities, and among our allies and partners around the world. The combined FY18 and FY19 IAA increases funding for artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technologies so that the IC and DoD continue to work smarter in defense of the nation. It also creates an external board to advise the Director of the National Reconnaissance Office on key policy issues, providing a resource for the Office as it pushes U.S. space capabilities beyond what was previously possible. The bill also supports partners in Europe, often on the frontlines of malign activity perpetrated by our most capable and aggressive adversaries. The annual IAA is but one tool Congress uses to exercise oversight of IC and DoD intelligence elements. The Minority supports this year's combined FY18 and FY19 IAA, which will help Congress play that critical role, while also ensuring that the women and men of the IC and DoD are supported as they endeavor to protect the United States.
