National 
Security 
Act

(4) although the Director should use the author-
ity under such section 102A(n)(1) sparingly, and 
should be exceedingly sparing in delegating such au-
thority to an element of the intelligence community, 
the Director should approve well-predicated requests 
for such authority in the student loan repayment con-
text if an element of the intelligence community can 
articulate an impediment to establishing or enhanc-
ing a program under section 5379 of title 5, United 
States Code; and 
(5) student loan repayment programs established 
by an element of the intelligence community should 
provide flexibility to intelligence community employ-
ees, including employees who pursue loan-financed 
education in the middle of their careers or after the 
day on which they first become intelligence commu-
nity employees.

shared widely throughout the legislative and executive 
branches of the United States Government and else-
where, that ensuring full accountability for the brutal 
murder on October 2, 2018, of Jamal Khashoggi, a 
former Washington Post columnist and resident of the 
United States, is in the public interest and also the 
national interest of the United States. 
(2) Section 5714 of the Damon Paul Nelson and 
Matthew Young Pollard Intelligence Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Years 2018, 2019, and 2020 (division 
E of Public Law 116–92; 133 Stat. 2173) required 
the Director of National Intelligence to submit to 
Congress a written report in ‘‘unclassified form’’ that 
includes ‘‘identification of those who carried out, par-
ticipated in, ordered, or were otherwise complicit in 
or responsible for the death of Jamal Khashoggi.’’. 
(3) Section 1277 of the National Defense Author-

92; 133 Stat. 1701) likewise obligated the Director to

submit to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the 
House of Representatives and the Committee on For-
eign Relations and the Select Committee on Intel-
ligence of the Senate a written report on the assess-
ment of the intelligence community regarding Mr. 
Khashoggi’s brutal murder. 
(4) Such section 1277 specifically called, among 
other things, for a determination and presentation of 
evidence with respect to the advance knowledge and 
role of any current or former official of the Govern-
ment of Saudi Arabia or any current or former senior 
Saudi political figure over the directing, ordering, or 
tampering of evidence in relation to Mr. Khashoggi’s 
murder. 
(5) Such section 1277 also required the Director 
to submit a list of foreign persons whom the Director 
has high confidence were responsible for, complicit in, 
or otherwise knowingly and materially assisted the 
murder, or impeded its impartial investigation, or 
who ordered or otherwise directed an act or acts con-
tributing to or causing the murder. 
(6) Contrary to the unambiguous and lawful 
command of Congress under such sections 5714 and 
1277, the Director did not produce any unclassified

report as required by either such section, and instead, 
on February 20, 2020, the Director submitted to such 
committees a classified report, which the Director re-
ferred to as an ‘‘annex’’. 
(7) The evident belief of the Director that no un-
classified information can be produced in accordance 
with the directives of Congress is dubious, in light of 
the extensive body of credible, unclassified reporting 
available regarding the murder of Mr. Khashoggi, and 
the roles and culpability of officials at the highest lev-
els of the Government of Saudi Arabia. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that the Director of National Intelligence should reasonably 
have been able to produce an unclassified report pursuant 
to section 5714 of the Damon Paul Nelson and Matthew 
Young Pollard Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Years 2018, 2019, and 2020 and section 1277 of the Na-
tional Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 that 
did not alter or obscure, in any way, the intelligence com-
munity’s core determinations, its presentation of evidence, 
or identification of relevant persons, as required, without 
putting sources and methods at risk.
