Measures to mitigate counterintelligence threats from proliferation and use of foreign commercial spyware (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The proliferation of foreign commercial spyware poses an acute and emergent threat to the national security of the United States. (2) Foreign entities have developed and supplied foreign commercial spyware to other foreign governments that used these tools to maliciously target officials of the United States Government. Many of those foreign governments have, in service of their repressive activities, targeted journalists, businesspeople, activists, academics, and other persons. (3) Furthermore, public reports suggest that foreign companies involved in the proliferation of foreign commercial spyware maintain close ties to foreign governments and their intelligence services. This close relationship between foreign governments and the companies selling foreign commercial spyware furthers the already substantial counterintelligence concerns for any end-user of these products, including potential end-users in the United States. (4) To mitigate the grave counterintelligence threat posed by the rapid spread of these tools—as well as to improve the digital security of citizens of the United States, combat cyber threats, and mitigate unlawful surveillance—the United States on January 19, 2022, finalized a rule establishing controls on the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of certain items that can be used for malicious cyber activities. (5) In furtherance of the same national security objectives, the Commerce Department on November 4, 2021, released a rule adding four foreign companies to the Entity List for engaging in activities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. This rule had the practical effect of preventing the listed companies from receiving American technologies. (6) Subsequent public reports indicate that at least one of the four companies added to the Entity List attempted to evade these and other restrictions, and a private consultancy which oversees that company informed the European Parliament in 2022 that it could not confirm the blacklisted company is complying with all relevant laws and regulatory frameworks. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that the intelligence community, with its unique authorities, foreign intelligence mission, analytical capabilities, and other capabilities, is best positioned to lead the efforts of the United States Government to mitigate the counterintelligence threats posed by the rapidly expanding ecosystem of foreign commercial spyware, including by devising and implementing strategies to protect personnel of the United States Government from being maliciously targeted. (c) Statement of policy It shall be the policy of the United States to decisively act against counterintelligence threats posed by foreign commercial spyware, as well as the individuals who lead entities selling foreign commercial spyware and who are reasonably believed to be involved, have been involved, or pose a significant risk to being or becoming involved, in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. (d) Measures to mitigate counterintelligence threats Title XI of the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3231 et seq. 1102A.

Reduction of barriers relating to contracts for artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies (a) Findings; sense of Congress (1) Findings Congress finds the following: (A) Authorizations to operate are essential to maintaining network and system security. (B) However, Congress is concerned that the executive branch does not have a user-friendly platform or process to adjudicate and review authority to operate applications. (C) Nor is the executive branch resourced to meet the demand for authority to operate certifications from commercial vendors, leading to lengthy delays to bring commercial solutions into government networks and systems. (D) These barriers handicap the executive branch when contracting for cutting-edge technologies. (2) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (A) the intelligence community and the Secretary of Defense should develop a resourcing plan to address these issues, including developing common platforms for applications and requirements to be shared with industry, and a process for authority to operate certification reciprocity across the Department of Defense and the intelligence community, with the appropriate safeguards; (B) easing these administrative costs and burdens helps cultivate an ecosystem that incentivizes small- and medium-sized emerging technology companies to work with the Federal Government, which is essential for the United States to compete globally for technology supremacy; (C) sensitive compartmented information facilities are often requirements for companies that wish to conduct business with the intelligence community; (D) unfortunately, the process to accredit and certify a facility as a sensitive compartmented information facility is time consuming and expensive, which further raises the barriers to entry for small- and medium-sized emerging technology companies; and (E) lowering those barriers is an important function of the intelligence community to gain access to the cutting-edge technology offered by such companies. (b) Protocol on authority to operate certifications (1) Protocol Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of National Intelligence, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense, shall develop and submit to the appropriate congressional committees a protocol setting forth policies and procedures relating to authority to operate certifications held by commercial providers.

Such reciprocal recognition shall be limited to authority to operate certifications for systems that store or provide access to data classified at an equal or higher classification level. (B) Procedures under which a commercial provider that is a contractor of an element of the intelligence community or the Department of Defense and holds an authority to operate certification for a system that relates to the contract concerned may provide to head of such element or the Secretary of Defense, as the case may be, the most recently updated version of any software, data, or application under such system without being required to submit an application for a new or renewed authority to operate certification. (C) Procedures for the automated review, renewal, and revocation of authority to operate certifications held by commercial providers, subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by the Director of National Intelligence, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense. (D) Standard documentation requirements for commercial providers submitting applications for authority to operate certifications. Such requirements shall be— (i) established jointly by the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense; and (ii) except as provided in paragraph (3), uniform across the Department of Defense and the elements of the intelligence community for each appropriate level of security. (E) A requirement to establish a joint portal of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Defense for the maintenance of records, applications, and system requirements for authority to operate certifications. Such portal shall be designed to store unclassified information, but may provide for the storage of classified information to the extent determined necessary by the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense. (F) A workforce plan that addresses the shortage of personnel of the intelligence community who are authorized to grant an authority to operate certification, including recommendations by the Director of National Intelligence for increased pay and other incentives to recruit and retain such personnel. (G) Policies and procedures to ensure coordination across the elements of the intelligence community with respect to the protocol under paragraph (1), including a requirement for— (i) the Director of National Intelligence to designate an official to lead such coordination across the intelligence community; and (ii) the head of each element of the intelligence community to designate an official of the element to oversee the implementation of such protocol with respect to the element. (H) Procedures to ensure data security and safety with respect to the implementation of the protocol under paragraph (1). (I) A proposed timeline for the implementation of the protocol under paragraph (1) by the deadline specified in such paragraph. (3) Exception to standard documentation requirements The Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense may jointly establish nonuniform documentation requirements for commercial providers submitting applications for authority to operate certifications, in addition to the requirements specified in paragraph (2)(D), only if, prior to such establishment, the Director and Secretary provide to the appropriate congressional committees a briefing on why such additional requirements are necessary.

Compliance by the intelligence community with requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulation relating to commercially available off-the-shelf items and commercial services (a) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) parts 10 and 12 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation broadly require departments and agencies of the United States Government to conduct market research to determine whether commercially available off-the-shelf items, nondevelopmental items, or commercial services are available that could meet the requirements of the department or agency; (2) the requirements under such parts 10 and 12, among other important goals, reduce administrative costs and allow expedited acquisition and deployment of such items and services; (3) however, such departments and agencies too often contract for custom products, rather than buying existing commercial products and adapting those as necessary, which creates a fundamental compliance issue; and (4) the intelligence community should adopt a culture shift to ensure better compliance with such parts 10 and 12. (b) Policy (1) Requirement Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of National Intelligence shall implement a policy to ensure that each element of the intelligence community complies with parts 10 and 12 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation with respect to any procurement. (2) Elements The policy under paragraph (1) shall include the following: (A) Written criteria for an element of the intelligence community to evaluate when a procurement of a covered item or service is permissible, including— (i) requiring the element to conduct an independent market analysis to determine whether a commercially available off-the-shelf item, nondevelopmental item, or commercial service is viable; and (ii) a description of the offeror for such covered item or service and how the covered item or service to be acquired will be integrated into existing systems of the intelligence community. (B) If an element of the intelligence community enters into a contract for artificial intelligence or other emerging technologies that is a covered item or service, not later than 45 days before entering into such contract, the head of the element shall notify the congressional intelligence committees in writing of the intent to enter into such contract, including a brief summary of— (i) the justification for not using a commercially available off-the-shelf item, nondevelopmental item, or commercial service; and (ii) the independent market analysis conducted under subparagraph (A). (C) A detailed set of performance incentives for the acquisition personnel of the intelligence community that— (i) prioritizes and rewards adherence to parts 10 and 12 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation; and (ii) incentivizes reliance by the intelligence community on commercially available off-the-shelf items, nondevelopmental items, or commercial services and incentivizes such personnel that enter into contracts for covered items or services only when necessary. (D) Methods to ensure the coordination across the elements of the intelligence community in carrying out the policy, including by designating an official of each element to ensure implementation and incentives for elements to share best practices for entering into contracts for covered items or services. (E) On an annual basis, the head of each element of the intelligence community shall certify in writing to the congressional intelligence committees that each contract involving software development that was awarded during the year covered by the certification was awarded in adherence to section 3453 of title 10, United States Code, and such parts 10 and 12, as applicable. (F) Any other incentives for the acquisition personnel of the intelligence community that the Director determines appropriate to improve the use of commercially available off-the-shelf items, nondevelopmental items, and commercial services in contracts for emerging technologies, including with respect to pay incentives, time off for training, and nonmonetary awards.

Report on assessing will to fight (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) According to a study by the RAND corporation, will to fight (2) In testimony before the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate in May 2022, top intelligence officials of the United States indicated that although the intelligence community accurately anticipated Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the intelligence community did not accurately assess the will of Ukrainian forces to fight in opposition to a Russian invasion or that the Ukrainian forces would succeed in averting a rapid Russian military occupation of Kyiv. (3) According to the RAND corporation, the intelligence community estimated that the Afghan government’s forces could hold out against the Taliban for as long as 2 years if all ground forces of the United States were withdrawn. This estimate was revised in June 2021 to reflect an intelligence community view that Afghanistan's military collapse could come in 6 to 12 months. In August 2021, the Afghan government fell within days after the ground forces of the United States were withdrawn. (4) Similarly, the rapid advance of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and near-total collapse of the Iraqi Security Forces in 2014 appeared to take the policymakers of the United States by surprise. (5) The apparent gaps in these analyses had important implications for policy decisions of the United States toward Russia and Afghanistan, and suggest a need for further examination of how the intelligence community assesses a foreign military’s will to fight. (b) Report Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of National Intelligence, acting through the National Intelligence Council, and in coordination with the heads of the elements of the intelligence community that the Director determines appropriate, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report examining the extent to which analyses of the military will to fight and the national will to fight informed the all-source analyses of the intelligence community regarding how the armed forces and governments of Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Iraq would perform at key junctures. (c) Elements The report under subsection (b) shall include the following: (1) The methodology of the intelligence community for measuring the military will to fight and the national will to fight of a foreign country. (2) The extent to which analysts of the intelligence community applied such methodology when assessing the military will to fight and the national will to fight of— (A) Afghanistan following the April 2021 announcement of the full withdrawal of the United States Armed Forces; (B) Iraq in the face of the rapid emergence and advancement in 2014 of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria; and (C) Ukraine and Russia during the initial phase of the invasion and march toward Kyiv by Russia in February 2022. (3) The extent to which— (A) the assessments described in paragraph (2) depended on the observations of personnel of the United States Armed Forces who had trained Afghan, Iraqi, and Ukrainian armed forces; and (B) such observations reflected any standardized, objective methodology. (4) Whether shortcomings in assessing the military will to fight and the national will to fight may have affected the capacity of the intelligence community to provide early warning (5) The extent to which red teaming (6) The extent to which dissenting opinions of intelligence analysts were highlighted in final written products presented to senior policymakers of the United States. (7) The extent to which analysts and supervisors adhered to the policies, procedures, directives, and best practices of the intelligence community. (8) Recommendations for analyses by the intelligence community going forward to incorporate lessons learned and enhance the quality of future analytical products to more accurately reflect the military will to fight and the national will to fight and improve the capacity of the intelligence community to accurately predict the success or failure of the armed forces of a foreign country.
