CLASSIFIED ANNEXES AND COMMITTEE INTENT

The classified annexes to this report include the classified schedules of authorizations and their associated explanatory language. 

The Committee views the classified annexes as integral parts of 

this legislation. The classified annexes contain thorough discussions of the issues considered by the Committee underlying the 

funding authorizations found in the classified schedules of authorizations. The Committee expects that all intelligence programs discussed in the classified annexes to this report will follow the guidance and limitations set forth as associated language therein. The 

classified schedules of authorizations are incorporated directly into 

this legislation by virtue of section 102 of the bill. 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 NIP consists of all activities of the Office of the 

Director of National Intelligence, as well as those intelligence, intelligence-related, and counterintelligence activities conducted by: 

the Central Intelligence Agency; the Department of Defense; the 

Defense Intelligence Agency; the National Security Agency; the National Reconnaissance Office; the National Geospatial-Intelligence 

Agency; the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force; the 

Department of State; the Department of the Treasury; the Department of Energy; the Department of Justice; the Federal Bureau of 

Investigation; the U.S. Coast Guard; the Department of Homeland 

Security; and the Drug Enforcement Administration. The Committee has exclusive legislative, authorizing, and oversight jurisdiction of these programs. 

COMMITTEE STATEMENT AND VIEWS

The Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015 intelligence authorization bill 

funds all U.S. intelligence activities, spanning 16 separate agencies. It provides authorization for critical national security functions, including: CIA personnel and their activities worldwide; tactical intelligence support to combat units in Afghanistan; NSA’s 

electronic surveillance and cyber defense; global monitoring of foreign militaries, weapons tests, and arms control treaties, including 

use of satellites and radars; real-time analysis and reporting on political and economic events, such as current events in the Middle 

East and Eastern Europe; and research and technology to maintain 

the country’s technological edge. 

This bill sustains today’s intelligence capabilities and provides 

for future capabilities while staying within the funding constraints 

of the Budget Control Act. For Fiscal Year 2014, the bill authorizes 

funding that is slightly below the President’s budget request level. 

Its funding levels are in line with the levels appropriated by the 

enacted appropriations act for the National Intelligence Program 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS-HSE
18 

and with the National Defense Authorization Act for the Military 

Intelligence Program. 

For Fiscal Year 2015, the bill increases the President’s budget request by less than one percent. This overall increase, set off by efficiencies the Committee identified, reflects the Committee’s concern 

that the President’s request does not fund a number of important 

initiatives and leaves several unacceptable shortfalls. In the absence of an Administration request for Fiscal Year 2015 Overseas 

Contingency Operations funding, the bill authorizes the Committee’s conservative estimate of the amount that will be required. 

The Committee’s concerns about insufficient intelligence funding 

are only heightened for Fiscal Year 2016 and beyond, when postsequester funding levels are due to resume. These concerns are exacerbated by the great expense necessary to remediate the damage 

from illegal disclosures of classified information. 

As most of the intelligence budget involves highly classified programs, the bulk of this Committee’s recommendations each year 

are found in the classified annexes to the bill. Among other initiatives, the bill increases funding to address insider threats and improve personnel security programs. The classified annexes also include a five-point budget framework to: (1) curb personnel growth; 

(2) find major operating efficiencies; (3) make only the best value 

investments; (4) deliver acquisitions on cost and on schedule; and 

(5) protect research and technology. 

The legislative provisions are comprised of changes to statute 

that better enable the Community to conduct its important mission 

and strengthen oversight mechanisms where needed. 

Personnel and Information Security Reforms 

Over the past year, massive unauthorized disclosures of classified information caused immense damage to our national security. 

The Intelligence Community might have been able to prevent those 

unauthorized disclosures if it continuously evaluated the backgrounds of employees and contractors and if IC elements had more 

effectively shared potentially derogatory information about employees and contractors with each other. 

Section 501 of the bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to ensure that all IC elements continuously determine 

whether their employees and contractors are eligible for access to 

classified information. Continuous evaluation allows the IC to take 

advantage of lawfully available government and public information 

to detect warning signals that the current system of five-year periodic reinvestigation misses. That information may include: foreign 

travel; reports of foreign contacts; financial disclosure information; 

checks of criminal, commercial marketing, and credit databases; 

and other appropriate publicly available information. By adopting 

continuous evaluation, a smaller number of cause-based and random reinvestigations can supplement and, over the long-term, replace, arbitrary periodic reinvestigations in the IC. 

An effective continuous evaluation system also requires different 

elements of the IC to share information with each other in a timely 

fashion. Section 501 therefore also directs the DNI to develop procedures that require IC elements to share information that may 

impact the eligibility of employees or contractors for a security 

clearance with each other. 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS-HSE
19 

Contractors pose a unique information security challenge for the 

IC. Section 502 of the bill addresses that challenge by requiring the 

DNI to ensure that all IC contractors with access to classified information develop and operate security plans that meet the DNI’s information security standards. Compliance with this requirement 

will not be left to chance: Going forward, every contract that an IC 

element signs must contain a clause requiring the contractor to 

abide by the DNI’s standards. Under Section 502, the DNI must 

also ensure that IC contractors with access to classified networks 

follow the IC’s insider threat detection policies. 

Declassification of bin Laden documents 

Section 312 of the bill requires the DNI to conduct a declassification review of certain documents collected in the May 2011 

Abbottabad, Pakistan, mission that killed Osama bin Laden. That 

seminal moment in American history created an opportunity to improve public understanding of the threat al-Qaeda and its affiliates 

pose to the United States without harming national security. The 

cache of documents at bin Laden’s compound can help the public 

understand the state of al-Qaeda in 2011, including the group’s relationship to Pakistan and Iran, its role in past terror plots, and 

the strategic threat to the United States and its allies. Section 312 

therefore requires the DNI to conduct a declassification review and 

make public documents that are not central to current intelligence 

operations, sources, methods, potential criminal investigations, or 

other national security interests. The bill also requires the DNI to 

brief the Committee about this effort and to explain why any of the 

documents must remain classified.

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. 4681. 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. 4681 are to authorize the intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States Government for Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015. 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 reflects 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 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS-HSE
28 

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, May 23, 2014. 

Hon. MIKE ROGERS, 

Chairman, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, 

House of Representatives, Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The Congressional Budget Office has prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 4681, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015. 

If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased 

to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Jason Wheelock. 

Sincerely, 

DOUGLAS W. ELMENDORF, Director. 

Enclosure. 

H.R. 4681—Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2014 

and 2015 

H.R. 4681 would authorize appropriations for fiscal years 2014 

and 2015 for intelligence activities of the U.S. government. Since 

CBO does not provide estimates for classified programs, this estimate addresses only the unclassified aspects of the bill. On that 

limited basis, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4681 would 

cost about $500 million over the 2015–2019 period, subject to the 

appropriation of the specified and estimated amounts. 

Section 104 would authorize appropriations of $528 million and 

$505 million for fiscal years 2014 and 2015, respectively, for the Intelligence Community Management Account (ICMA). The ICMA 

provides the principal source of funding for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and resources for managing the intelligence agencies. Because CBO anticipates that the bill would be 

enacted near the start of fiscal year 2015, we estimate that this 

provision would not affect spending in 2014. However, assuming 

the appropriation of the amount authorized for fiscal year 2015, 

CBO estimates that implementing section 104 would cost about 

$330 million in fiscal year 2015 and about $500 million over the 

2015–2019 period. 

Section 603 would extend through 2018 the authorization for the 

Public Interest Declassification Board. The board advises the President on the government’s standards and procedures for releasing 

and declassifying information. Based on information from the National Archives, CBO estimates that implementing this provision 

would cost less than $500,000 over the 2015–2019 period. 

Enacting H.R 4681 would not affect direct spending or revenues; 

therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. Section 201 

would authorize the appropriation of $514 million for the Central 

Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System for both fiscal years 2014 and 2015 (CIARDS). Appropriations to CIARDS are 

considered mandatory and fund various unfunded liabilities of the 

system. However, because the amounts authorized are the same as 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS-HSE
29 

the amounts projected in the CBO baseline, CBO does not ascribe 

any additional cost to this provision. 

H.R. 4681 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would 

not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments. 

On February 5, 2014, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 

1681, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, as reported by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on November 12, 2013. S. 1681 would authorize the appropriation of $569 

million for fiscal year 2014, or $41 million more than the amount 

authorized in H.R. 4681. However, unlike our estimate for S. 1681, 

CBO does not ascribe any cost to that authorization because we expect that H.R. 4681 would not be enacted until near the start of 

fiscal year 2015. Other differences in the estimated costs of S. 1681 

and H.R. 4681 reflect differences between the two bills. 

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Jason Wheelock. The 

estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.

IN THE HOUSE PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE 

May 22, 2014 

Mr. Chainnan, 

On May 22, 2014, I missed the House Pennanent Select Committee on Intelligence 

Mark-up of H.R. 4681, the "Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2014 and 

20 IS" due to conducting official business in my capacity as Chainnan of the House 

Veterans Affairs' Committee. 

The time of the Mark-up of H.R. 4681 conflicted with a previously scheduled business 

meeting due to V A's lack of compliance of a subpoena issued by the House Committee 

on Veterans' Affairs regarding the health care scandal at the V A, which has resulted in 

the death of at least 23 veterans by the Department's own coun!. Immediate action was 

warranted, as allegations of secret wait lists and manipulation of appointment wait times 

continue to surface at V A medical centers across the country. 

If present at the Mark-up, I would have voted to approve the three amendments that were 

adopted and would have voted in favor of reporting H.R. 4681, as amended, out of 

committee. 

I would like to respectfully request a copy of this statement be included in the 

Committee's report on H.R. 4681. Thank you for your leadership and your consideration 

of this request.

MINORITY VIEWS 

The Intelligence Committee advanced the bipartisan Intelligence 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015 by voice vote. 

The annual Intelligence Authorization Act is among the most important bills the House passes each year. It provides U.S. intelligence professionals with the resources, capabilities and authorities they need to protect the nation, while ensuring that the Intelligence Committee can continue to conduct rigorous oversight of 

even the most sensitive programs on behalf of the American people. 

The Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2014 and 

2015 is a prudent and fiscally responsible bill. The Fiscal Year 

2014 schedule of authorizations, which the Committee approved in 

November 2013, was included in this bill, as was the Fiscal Year 

2015 schedule. The latter provides for overall funding at about 1% 

above the President’s budget request, but it makes cuts to some 

less productive programs, adds money to other critically important 

programs, and ultimately acknowledges the need to right the ship 

after sequestration. 

Furthermore, the Intelligence Authorization Act: 

a. Continues to emphasize the value of persistence in overhead architecture; 

b. Scales back the Intelligence Community’s use of core contractors; 

c. Pushes for further improvements in the continuous evaluation of insider threats, and for the expansion of insider 

threat programs government wide; 

d. Provides forward-looking funding for Navy airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance to maintain military 

intelligence capabilities during the transition from older to 

newer, more capable aircraft; and 

e. Invests in both the recruitment and retention of the best 

and brightest for our cyber workforce, particularly in the FBI. 

One of the bill’s weaknesses is that it does not do enough to enhance analysis of the national security implications of climate 

change, which the Intelligence Community refers to as environmental indications and warning. Whether by driving competition 

for scare resources, by opening the Arctic, or by increasing sea level 

and storm surge near our naval installations, climate change will 

have profound, destabilizing effects which need to be understood, 

anticipated, and accounted for. There may be disagreement about 

the causes of climate change, but the national security consequences are so significant that they cannot be ignored. 

The Intelligence Committee again succeeded in operating in a bipartisan manner, which was evident through this legislation. Minority Members offered important amendments that were incorporated into the Chairman’s mark, including: 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS-HSE
46 

a. Mr. Thompson’s amendment to require an intelligence assessment on the security of domestic oil refineries and their related rail networks; 

b. Mr. Himes’ amendment to establish an independent Inspector General for the National Security Agency and his 

amendment to require an annual report of all violations of law 

or Executive Order determined to have occurred within the Intelligence Community; and 

c. Mr. Thompson’s amendment within the Annex to direct 

the Director of National Intelligence to provide an assessment 

of the status of threat information sharing with diplomatic security personnel. 

Ms. Sewell was also influential in the inclusion within the Annex 

of the Chairman’s mark of a provision to improve and standardize 

certain aspects of the security clearance process. Additionally, the 

Annex to the Chairman’s mark included a provision at the behest 

of Mr. Langevin to require an assessment of the effects and costs 

of the leaks caused by a former NSA contractor. The Chairman also 

agreed to work with Mr. Langevin to conduct a study of the effectiveness of the reforms created ten years ago by the Intelligence 

Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. 

Ms. Schakowsky introduced an amendment that would have 

banned the practice of so-called signature strikes; but it did not 

pass. While Ms. Schakowsky approved of most of the Act, she voted 

against it primarily because of her opposition to these so-called signature strikes. 

This Act contains no reforms to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act because the Committee worked closely with the Judiciary 

Committee and the Administration to craft the USA FREEDOM 

Act, which passed the House the same day as the Intelligence Authorization Act’s mark up.
