Bill > HR3191

This bill, the COVID-19 Origin Act of 2021, requires the Director of National Intelligence to declassify information related to the potential links between the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes details about the WIV's activities with the People's Liberation Army, coronavirus research conducted prior to the outbreak, and information on WIV researchers who fell ill in 2019. The bill also requires the Director to submit an unclassified report to Congress containing this information, with only necessary redactions to protect sources and methods. The goal is to identify the origin of COVID-19 as quickly as possible and use that information to prevent a similar pandemic in the future.
