Title V of the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3091 et seq. ), as amended by section 407 of this Act, is further amended by adding at the end the following new section: Except as provided in paragraph (3), the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall submit to congressional leadership, the congressional intelligence committees, and the chairmen and ranking minority members of the Committees on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and the Senate notice of each counterintelligence assessment or investigation of an individual who is— a candidate for Federal office; a holder of Federal office; or a covered congressional employee.
The notice required under paragraph
(1)shall include— a summary of the relevant facts associated with the counterintelligence assessment or investigation; and the identity of such individual. The Director may refrain from providing a notice under paragraph
(1)to an individual who is otherwise a recipient of notices under such paragraph if that individual is a target of the counterintelligence assessment or investigation covered by the notice. The Director shall submit each notice under subsection
(a)not later than 5 days after the date of the commencement of the counterintelligence assessment or investigation that is the subject of such notice. With respect to counterintelligence assessments or investigations that commenced before the date of the enactment of this section and are ongoing as of such date of enactment, the Director shall submit each notice under subsection
(a)not later than 5 days after such date of enactment. The Director may use the lists provided under paragraph
(2)to determine whether an individual is a covered congressional employee. The Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives shall, not less than semiannually, each provide to the head of each element of the intelligence community a list of covered congressional employees of the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively. Notwithstanding the lack of inclusion of a person on a list provided under paragraph (2), if a person that is subject to a counterintelligence assessment or investigation is known to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to be a covered congressional employee at the time of such counterintelligence assessment or investigation, the Director shall carry out this section as required when the subject of a counterintelligence assessment or investigation is a covered congressional employee. In this section: The terms candidate and Federal office have the meanings given those terms in section 301 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 ( 52 U.S.C. 30101 ). The term covered congressional employee means an employee or officer of— the Senate or the House of Representatives; a Senator or a Representative in, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, Congress; or a committee of the Senate or House of Representatives, or a joint committee of the Senate and House of Representatives. .
