For each 4-year election cycle (beginning with the 4-year election cycle ending in 2020), the Comptroller General shall conduct a study on the incidence of illicit foreign money in all elections for Federal office held during the preceding 4-year election cycle, including what information is known about the presence of such money in elections for Federal office. Not later than the applicable date with respect to any 4-year election cycle, the Comptroller General shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on the study conducted under subsection (a). The report submitted under paragraph

For purposes of paragraph (1), the term applicable date means— in the case of the 4-year election cycle ending in 2020, the date that is 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act; and in the case of any other 4-year election cycle, the date that is 1 year after the date on which such 4-year election cycle ends.
