of Congress that—

for the National Center for Credibility As-
sessment to the Director of the Defense 
Intelligence Agency may be limiting the 
ability of the Center to effectively serve the 
Federal customer base of the Center; 
(ii) the failure of the Director of Na-
tional Intelligence, in the role of the Direc-
tor as security executive for the Federal 
Government, to define in policy the term 
‘‘Executive Agent’’ may be further limiting
the ability of the Center to receive suffi-
cient resources to carry out the critical 
Federal mission of the Center; and 
(iii) the evolution of the Center from 
an organization of the Army to an organi-
zation serving 27 departments and agen-
cies and responsible for all Federal credi-
bility assessment training, oversight, and 
research and development, has resulted in 
a convoluted oversight structure based on 
legacy reporting requirements.

2018, the Director of the Defense Intelligence 
Agency, the Director of National Intelligence, 
and the Secretary of Defense shall jointly sub-

port on—

ganizational assignment of the Center to 
the Director of the Defense Intelligence 
Agency;
(iii) the effectiveness of the current 
oversight structure between the Center, the 
Defense Intelligence Agency, the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, and 
the Director of National Intelligence; and 
(iv) the resources and authorities nec-
essary to most effectively execute the mis-
sions and functions of the Center. 
(2) UNDERGROUND FACILITIES ANALYSIS CEN-
TER.— 
(A) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense 
of Congress that— 
(i) the assignment of executive agency 
for the Underground Facilities Analysis 
Center to the Director of the Defense In-
telligence Agency may be limiting the abil-
ity of the Center to effectively serve the 
broader intelligence community customer 
base of the Center; 
(ii) the failure of the Director of Na-
tional Intelligence to define in policy the 
term ‘‘Executive Agent’’ may be further 
limiting the ability of the Center to receive 
sufficient resources to carry out the critical 
mission of the Center; and
