                                _______
                                

    Mr. Putnam, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 774]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 774, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 5020, the 
Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, under a 
structured rule. The rule provides one hour of general debate 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence. The rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill.
    The rule provides that the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence now printed in the bill shall be considered as an 
original bill for the purpose of amendment and shall be 
considered as read. The rule waives all points of order against 
the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
    The rule makes in order only those amendments printed in 
this report. The rule provides that the amendments printed in 
this report may be offered only in the order printed in this 
report, may be offered only by a Member designated in this 
report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the 
time specified in this report equally divided and controlled by 
the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to 
amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of 
the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. The 
rule waives all points of order against the amendments printed 
in this report.
    Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill is necessary because the report of the Permanent 
Select Committee on Intelligence fails to meet the requirements 
of clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII, requiring a statement of 
general performance goals and objectives. The waiver of all 
points of order against the committee amendment in the nature 
of a substitute includes a waiver of clause 4 of rule XXI, 
prohibiting appropriations on legislative bills, because the 
committee amendment contains provisions (specifically sections 
305 and 306) in violation of such rule.
    In addition, the waiver of all points of order against 
consideration of the bill includes a prophylactic waiver of 
section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act, which prohibits 
consideration of legislation providing new budget authority in 
excess of a subcommittee's 302(b) allocation of such authority, 
because the total budget authority authorized in the bill is 
classified and therefore unavailable.

                            COMMITTEE VOTES

    Pursuant to clause 3(b) of House rule XIII the results of 
each record vote on an amendment or motion to report, together

provide Congress with the opportunity to understand the program 
and whether current law should be amended to either grant the 
President the power he seeks, or make any other modifications 
to current law that Congress deems appropriate. Until such

                 His Designee, Debatable for 20 Minutes

    At the end of the bill, add the following new section:

SEC. 510. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF 
                    CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Supreme Court has unequivocally recognized 
        that the Constitution vests the President with the 
        authority to protect national security information as 
        head of the Executive Branch and as Commander-in-Chief.
          (2) The Supreme Court has recognized a compelling 
        government interest in withholding national security 
        information from unauthorized persons.
          (3) The Supreme Court has recognized that secrecy 
        agreements for government employees are a reasonable 
        means for protecting this vital interest.
          (4) The Supreme Court has noted that ``It should be 
        obvious that no one has a `right' to a security 
        clearance''.
          (5) Unauthorized disclosures of classified 
        information relating to national security are most 
        damaging when they have the potential to compromise 
        intelligence sources and methods and ongoing 
        intelligence operations.
          (6) Potential unauthorized disclosures of classified 
        information has impeded relationships with foreign 
        intelligence services and the effectiveness of the 
        Global War on Terrorism.
          (7) Media corporations and journalists have 
        improperly profited financially from publishing 
        purported unauthorized disclosures of classified 
        information.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
the President should utilize the constitutional authority of 
the President to the fullest practicable extent, where 
warranted, to classify and protect national security 
information relating to intelligence activities and information 
and to take effective action against persons who commit 
unauthorized disclosures of classified information relating to 
intelligence activities and information contrary to law and 
voluntary secrecy agreements.
