AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar intelligence agencies from spending money on research, development, or technical support done by a National Laboratory if that laboratory lets certain visitors or assignees from "countries of risk" access its premises, information, or technology. The head of an intelligence agency could waive this ban for work that is part of the National Intelligence Program. To use the waiver, the agency head would have to send Congress's intelligence committees a certification that the work is not at risk of collection by foreign intelligence or nontraditional intelligence collection, along with a justification for the waiver.
