    (c) Duties.--
            (1) In general.--The Commission shall carry out the review 
        described in paragraph (2). In carrying out such review, the 
        Commission shall consider both the events known as anomalous 
        health incidents themselves, and the response to such incidents 
        by the United States Government and other nations' governments 
        for the purpose of comprehensively addressing the national 
        security and defense risks to the United States posed by the 
        causes of, and responses to, anomalous health incidents.
            (2) Scope of the review.--In conducting the review under 
        paragraph (1), the Commission shall consider the following:
                    (A) A historical review of the United States 
                Government's response to anomalous health incidents to 
                identify a more effective, standardized model that can 
                be applied to complex challenges to ensure all 
                perspectives are fully and fairly presented to policy 
                makers, mitigate real or perceived undue influence on 
                analytical judgments, and effectively gather and act on 
                intelligence and information to address complex 
                national security challenges.
                    (B) A historical review of the United States 
                Government's provision of support and medical care to 
                United States personnel and their dependents impacted 
                by anomalous health incidents.
                    (C) Whether a review of all information on 
                collected reports of anomalous health incidents can 
                inform the development of a categorization mechanism 
                which can inform appropriate steps to be taken 
                following future reports.
                    (D) Whether available data points to the 
                involvement of an external actor in some or all 
                reported anomalous health incidents.
                    (E) Whether known or novel mechanisms an adversary 
                might use against United States personnel or their 
                dependents might explain some or all reported anomalous 
                health incidents.
                    (F) Whether comparable information, data, and 
                reports on other intelligence questions led to similar 
                analytic judgments.
                    (G) Any other matters the Commission deems relevant 
                to the common defense of the Nation.

                President and the appropriate congressional committees 
                a report describing the progress of the activities of 
                the Commission as of the date of such report, including 
                any findings, recommendations, or lessons learned

                committees.
            (3) Final report.--
                    (A) Submission.--Not later than 3 years after the 
                date of the establishment of the Commission under

                President and the appropriate congressional committees 
                a final report on the findings of the Commission and 
                such recommendations that the Commission may have for 
                action by Congress and the Federal Government, which 
                shall address the following:
                            (i) Whether known or novel mechanisms an 
                        adversary might use against United States 
                        personnel or their dependents might explain 
                        some or all reported anomalous health 
                        incidents.
                            (ii) Whether available data points to the 
                        involvement of an external actor in some or all 
                        reported anomalous health incidents.
                            (iii) Whether the United States 
                        Government's provision of support and medical 
                        care is sufficient to appropriately address the 
                        impacts of anomalous health incidents on 
                        affected personnel.
                            (iv) Effectively structuring United States 
                        Government responses to distinct, complex 
                        national security issues such as reports of 
                        anomalous health incidents.
                            (v) Research and development to improve the 
                        medical response and potential harm mitigation 
                        techniques for anomalous health incidents.
                            (vi) How analytic integrity and structured 
                        analytical techniques impacted the United 
                        States Government's response to anomalous 
                        health incidents.
                            (vii) What the anomalous health incidents 
                        situation says about the counterintelligence 
                        posture of the United States Government.
                            (viii) Future policy recommendations for 
                        anomalous health incidents or other health 
                        incidents with a potential counterintelligence 
                        nexus.
                    (B) Addenda.--Any member of the Commission may

    TITLE V--MATTERS RELATING TO DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AND OVERHEAD 
                              ARCHITECTURE

SEC. 501. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE NEED FOR INCREASED EFFORT AND 
              RESOURCES IN THE FIELD OF GEOMATICS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the intelligence community and the broader United 
        States Government require professionals with advanced training 
        in geomatics and geodesy and that the preservation of these 
        skillsets is crucial to advancing geospatial intelligence 
        tradecraft for the United States for national security and 
        military operations;
            (2) the intelligence community should use existing 
        authorities to engage in novel ways with academic and industry 
        partners to ensure the intelligence community's demand signal 
        for geomatics and geodesy professionals is received by the 
        largest possible number of United States citizens while also 
        seeking to foster a culture of academic excellence and research 
        to propel the field of geomatics forward at the pace of 
        innovation;
            (3) by engaging with academic and industry partners the 
        intelligence community can help speed the reversal of the 
        current trend wherein the United States not only produces fewer 
        geomatics scientists and engineers compared to its global 
        competitors and potential adversaries, but such competitors and 
        adversaries also provide them with training and expertise that 
        could be used against the United States;
            (4) there is abundant opportunity for the intelligence 
        community to advance its growing need for geomatics and geodesy 
        professionals by partnering with American universities and 
        researchers with proven experience in diverse fields who can 
        lead the way to solving the United States most vexing geomatics 
        challenges; and
            (5) the intelligence community must balance the increasing 
        demand for recruiting the best geomatics and geodesy talent 
        while still ensuring a dedicated and patriotic workforce with 
        allegiance to the Constitution and the United States 
        Government.

        Space Force military and civilian acquisition workforce that 
        includes contracting officers, acquisition program managers, 
        engineers, and program control and finance professionals;
            (2) the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the 
        House of Representatives is concerned that the United States 
        Space Force's uneven emphasis on developing space operators and 
        making fewer acquisition professionals available for 
        assignments at the National Reconnaissance Office can 
        negatively affect the procurement goals of the National 
        Reconnaissance Office, particularly in support of United States 
        Space Force requirements; and
            (3) a robust United States Space Force acquisition 
        workforce, that encourages assignment opportunities at the 
        National Reconnaissance Office, both benefits the procurement 
        goals of the National Reconnaissance Office and provides 
        valuable experience that acquisition professionals can apply to 
        future United States Space Force assignments.
