SEC. 319. IMPROVEMENT OF EQUALITY OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNI-

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) It is the recommendation of the Joint Inquiry of the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Perma-
nent Select Committee on Intelligence into Intelligence Commu-
nity Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of Sep-
tember 11, 2001, that the Intelligence Community should
enhance recruitment of a more ethnically and culturally diverse
workforce and devise a strategy to capitalize upon the unique
cultural and linguistic capabilities of first generation Ameri-
cans.
(2) The Intelligence Community could greatly benefit from
an increased number of employees who are proficient in foreign
languages and knowledgeable of world cultures, especially in
foreign languages that are critical to the national security
interests of the United States. Particular emphasis should be
given to the recruitment of United States citizens whose lin-
guistic capabilities are acutely required for the improvement
of the overall intelligence collection and analysis effort of the
United States Government.
(3) The Intelligence Community has a significantly lower
percentage of women and minorities than the total workforce
of the Federal government and the total civilian labor force.
(4) Women and minorities continue to be under-represented
in senior grade levels, and in core mission areas, of the intel-
ligence community.

OPPORTUNITIES
FOR WOMEN
AND MINORITIES THROUGHOUT
THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY USING INNOVATIVE METHODOLOGIES.—
The Director of Central Intelligence shall carry out a pilot project
under this section to test and evaluate alternative, innovative
methods to promote equality of employment opportunities in the
intelligence community for women, minorities, and individuals with
diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, skills, language pro-
ficiency, and expertise.
(c) METHODS.—In carrying out the pilot project, the Director
shall employ methods to increase diversity of officers and employees
in the intelligence community.
(d) DURATION OF PROJECT.—The Director shall carry out the
project under this section for a 3-year period.
(e) REPORT.—Not later than 2 years after the date the Director
implements the pilot project under this section, the Director shall
submit to Congress a report on the project. The report shall
include—
(1) an assessment of the effectiveness of the project; and
