Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Secret Service Protective Privilege
Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The physical safety of the Nation's top elected
officials is a public good of transcendent importance.
(2) By virtue of the critical importance of the Office of
the President, the President and those in direct line of the
Presidency are subject to unique and mortal jeopardy--jeopardy
that in turn threatens profound disruption to our system of
representative government and to the security and future of the
Nation.
(3) The physical safety of visiting heads of foreign states
and foreign governments is also a matter of paramount
importance. The assassination of such a person while on
American soil could have calamitous consequences for our
foreign relations and national security.
(4) Given these grave concerns, Congress has provided for
the Secret Service to protect the President and those in direct
line of the Presidency, and has directed that these officials
may not waive such protection. Congress has also provided for
the Secret Service to protect visiting heads of foreign states
and foreign governments.
(5) The protective strategy of the Secret Service depends
critically on the ability of its personnel to maintain close
and unremitting physical proximity to the protectee.
(6) Secret Service personnel must remain at the side of the
protectee on occasions of confidential conversations and, as a
result, may overhear top secret discussions, diplomatic
exchanges, sensitive conversations, and matters of personal
privacy.
(7) The necessary level of proximity can be maintained only
in an atmosphere of complete trust and confidence between the
protectee and his or her protectors.
(8) If a protectee has reason to doubt the confidentiality
of actions or conversations taken in sight or hearing of Secret
Service personnel, the protectee may seek to push the
protective envelope away or undermine it to the point at which
it could no longer be fully effective.
(9) The possibility that Secret Service personnel might be
compelled to testify against their protectees could induce
foreign nations to refuse Secret Service protection in future
state visits, making it impossible for the Secret Service to
fulfill its important statutory mission of protecting the life
and safety of foreign dignitaries.
(10) A privilege protecting information acquired by Secret
Service personnel while performing their protective function in
physical proximity to a protectee will preserve the security of
the protectee by lessening the incentive of the protectee to
distance Secret Service personnel in situations in which there
is some risk to the safety of the protectee.
(11) Recognition of a protective function privilege for the
President and those in direct line of the Presidency, and for
visiting heads of foreign states and foreign governments, will
promote sufficiently important interests to outweigh the need
for probative evidence.
(12) Because Secret Service personnel retain law
enforcement responsibility even while engaged in their
protective function, the privilege must be subject to a crime/
treason exception.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to facilitate the relationship of trust and confidence
between Secret Service personnel and certain protected
officials that is essential to the ability of the Secret
Service to protect these officials, and the Nation, from the
risk of assassination; and
(2) to ensure that Secret Service personnel are not
precluded from testifying in a criminal investigation or
prosecution about unlawful activity committed within their view
or hearing.

SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF PROTECTIVE FUNCTION PRIVILEGE.

(a) Admissibility of Information Acquired by Secret Service
Personnel While Performing Their Protective Function.--Chapter 203 of
title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after section
3056 the following:
''Sec. 3056A. Testimony by Secret Service personnel; protective
function privilege
''(a) Definitions.--In this section:
''(1) Protectee.--The term 'protectee' means--
''(A) the President;
''(B) the Vice President (or other officer next in
the order of succession to the Office of President);
''(C) the President-elect;
''(D) the Vice President-elect; and
''(E) visiting heads of foreign states or foreign
governments who, at the time and place concerned, are
being provided protection by the United States Secret
Service.
''(2) Secret service personnel.--The term 'Secret Service
personnel' means any officer or agent of the United States
Secret Service.
''(b) General Rule of Privilege.--Subject to subsection (c),
testimony by Secret Service personnel or former Secret Service
personnel regarding information affecting a protectee that was acquired
during the performance of a protective function in physical proximity
to the protectee shall not be received in evidence or otherwise
disclosed in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding in or before any
court, grand jury, department, officer, agency, regulatory body, or
other authority of the United States, a State, or a political
subdivision thereof.
''(c) Exceptions.--There is no privilege under this section--
''(1) with respect to information that, at the time the
information was acquired by Secret Service personnel, was
sufficient to provide reasonable grounds to believe that a
crime had been, was being, or would be committed; or
''(2) if the privilege is waived by the protectee or the
legal representative of a protectee or deceased protectee.
''(d) Concurrent Privileges.--The proximity of Secret Service
personnel to a protectee engaged in a privileged communication with
another shall not, by itself, defeat an otherwise valid claim of
privilege.''.
(b) Technical and Conforming Amendment.--The analysis for chapter
203 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the
item relating to section 3056 the following:

''3056A. Testimony by Secret Service personnel; protective function
privilege.''.

SEC. 4. APPLICATION.

This Act and the amendments made by this Act shall apply to any
proceeding commenced on or after the date of enactment of this Act.

A: Secret Service Protective Privilege Act of 1999 - Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit testimony by Secret Service personnel or former personnel regarding information affecting a protectee (defined as the President, Vice President, and specified other officials) that was acquired during the performance of a protective function in physical proximity to the protectee from being received in evidence or otherwise disclosed in any proceeding in or before any court, grand jury, department, officer, agency, regulatory body, or other authority of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision thereof.
Makes exceptions: (1) with respect to information that, at the time it was acquired by Secret Service personnel, was sufficient to provide reasonable grounds to believe that a crime had been, was being, or would be committed; or (2) if the privilege is waived by the protectee or the legal representative of a protectee or deceased protectee.
Specifies that the proximity of Secret Service personnel to a protectee engaged in a privileged communication with another shall not, by itself, defeat an otherwise valid claim of privilege.
