Bill > S1778

This bill requires the U.S. Attorney General to submit an annual report for seven years detailing the Department of Justice's efforts to counter national security threats from the Chinese Communist Party. The report, which must be submitted within 90 days of the bill's enactment and publicly available on the DOJ's website, will include a comprehensive overview of the department's activities targeting Chinese espionage, specifically focusing on intellectual property theft, research infiltration, and threats from non-traditional intelligence collectors like university researchers and laboratory personnel. The report must also provide an accounting of resources dedicated to these counter-espionage programs, assess their effectiveness, and describe the measures taken to protect the civil rights, civil liberties, and privacy of U.S. persons during these investigations. While the primary report will be unclassified, it may include a classified annex, and the Attorney General is required to collaborate with other key federal agencies, including the Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Secretary of Defense, in preparing the document.
