SEC. 4. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On January 6, 2017, an assessment of the United States
intelligence community entitled, ''Assessing Russian Activities
and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections'' concluded, ''Russian
efforts to influence the 2016 US presidential election
represent the most recent expression of Moscow's longstanding
desire to undermine the US-led liberal democratic order, but
these activities demonstrated a significant escalation in
directness, level of activity, and scope of effort compared to
previous operations.''. The report concluded with high
confidence, ''Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an
influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential
election. Russia's goals were to undermine public faith in the
US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm
her electability and potential presidency. We further assess
Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference
for President-elect Trump.''.
(2) On December 29, 2016, President Barack Obama issued
Executive Order 13757, ''Taking Additional Steps To Address The
National Emergency With Respect To Significant Malicious Cyber-
Enabled Activities''. Executive Order 13757 amended Executive
Order 13694, ''Blocking the Property of Certain Persons
Engaging in Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities''.
E.O. 13694 authorized sanctions on ''individuals and entities
determined to be responsible for or complicit in malicious
cyber-enabled activities that result in enumerated harms that
are reasonably likely to result in, or have materially
contributed to, a significant threat to the national security,
foreign policy, or economic health or financial stability of
the United States''. E.O. 13757 expanded executive authority to
allow for the imposition of sanctions against ''individuals and
entities determined to be responsible for tampering, altering,
or causing the misappropriation of information with the purpose
or effect of interfering with or undermining election processes
or institutions''.
(3) The Government of the Russian Federation has repeatedly
launched cyber-attacks against United States agencies,
including the Department of State in November 2014, the
Department of Defense in 2015, and the White House computer
networks in 2014.
(4) On March 15, 2017, the Department of Justice charged
Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) officers and criminal
coconspirators for hacking Yahoo and the email accounts of
millions of United States citizens.
(5) On May 8, 2017, former Director of National
Intelligence James Clapper testified before the Committee on
the Judiciary of the Senate, ''Russia's influence activities in
the run-up to the 2016 election constituted the high water mark
of their long running efforts since the 1960s to disrupt and
influence our elections. They must be congratulating themselves
for having exceeded their wildest expectations with a minimal
expenditure of resource. And I believe they are now emboldened
to continue such activities in the future both here and around
the world, and to do so even more intensely. If there has ever
been a clarion call for vigilance and action against a threat
to the very foundation of our democratic political system, this
episode is it.''.
(6) On June 7, 2017, former Director of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation James Comey testified before the Select
Committee on Intelligence of the Senate that the Government of
the Russian Federation, ''using technical intrusion, lots of
other methods, tried to shape the way we think, we vote, we
act. That is a big deal. And people need to recognize it. It's
not about Republicans or Democrats. They're coming after
America, which I hope we all love equally. They want to
undermine our credibility in the face of the world. They think
that this great experiment of ours is a threat to them, and so
they're going to try to run it down and dirty it up as much as
possible.''.
(7) On July 9, 2017, President Donald Trump stated, ''I
strongly pressed President Putin twice about Russian meddling
in our election. He vehemently denied it . . . now it is time
to move forward in working constructively with Russia! Putin &
I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that
election hacking, & many other negative things, will be
guarded''.

SEC. 5. FUNDING PROHIBITION.

No Federal funds may be used to establish a cybersecurity unit, or
any variation thereof, in cooperation or connection with the Government
of the Russian Federation.

SEC. 6. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

It is the sense of Congress that--

the United States Armed Forces and the intelligence community

2016 election and take appropriate measures to deter such
activities in the future;
(2) the President must not use taxpayer funds to engage in
cyber coordination with the Government of the Russian
Federation, a foreign adversary; and

examine, and report on the facts regarding the extent of
Russian official and unofficial cyber operations and other
attempts to interfere in the 2016 United States national
election.

SEC. 7. TERMINATION.
