‘‘(1) the annual national security strategy re-
port of the President required by section 108 of the 
National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3043)

dom of religion is a strategy that protects other, re-
lated human rights, and advances democracy outside 
the United States, and make clear its importance to 
United States foreign policy goals of stability, secu-
rity, development, and diplomacy; and 
‘‘(2) the national security strategy report 
should be a guide for the strategies and activities of 
relevant Federal agencies and inform the Depart-
ment of Defense quadrennial defense review under 
section 118 of title 10, United States Code, and the 
Department of State Quadrennial Diplomacy and
