Congress finds the following: The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has struggled to identify the programs and activities of the Agency, to include significant, enduring programs determined by the Agency to be programs of record , comprehensively and in a fashion that enables budget auditability and oversight by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Office of Management and Budget, and the congressional intelligence committees. The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has rebuffed repeated requests by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence to furnish to such Committee the definition for the term program of record used by the Agency.
Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, consistent with the protection of intelligence sources and methods, shall submit to the congressional intelligence committees a report on the programs and activities of the Agency. Such report shall include, at a minimum, the following: An identification of any definition for the term program of record used by the Agency during the period beginning October 1, 2017, and ending on the date of the submission of the report.
A detailed description of each current program and activity of the Agency, including each current program of record of the Agency. A detailed explanation of how funding and other information relating to each such program of record or other program or activity may be located within the budget justification materials submitted to Congress. Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, consistent with the protection of intelligence sources and methods, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on the programs and activities of the Agency that are funded in full or in part under the Military Intelligence Program.
