Congress finds that Intelligence Community Directive 191 provides that— when an element of the intelligence community of the United States collects or acquires credible and specific information indicating an impending threat of intentional killing, serious bodily injury, or kidnapping directed at a person, the agency must warn the intended victim or those responsible for protecting the intended victim, as appropriate ; and when issues arise with respect to whether the threat information rises to the threshold of duty to warn , the directive calls for resolution in favor of warning the intended victim.
Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of National Intelligence shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report with respect to— whether and how the intelligence community fulfilled its duty to warn Jamal Khashoggi of threats to his life and liberty pursuant to Intelligence Community Directive 191; and in the case of the intelligence community not fulfilling its duty to warn as described in paragraph (1), why the intelligence community did not fulfill this duty.
The report required by subsection
(b)shall be submitted in unclassified form but may contain a classified annex. In this section: The term appropriate congressional committees means— the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives; and the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate. The term duty to warn has the meaning given that term in Intelligence Community Directive 191, as in effect on July 21, 2015. The term intelligence community has the meaning given such term in section 3(4) of the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3003(4) ).
