Plain-language change summary

The resolution now includes specific requests for the Biden administration to provide Congress with detailed briefings on recent incidents involving the People's Republic of China (PRC), including a timeline of events and assessments of potential surveillance data collected by the PRC balloon. It emphasizes the importance of transparency regarding the PRC's surveillance activities and includes a broader call for information on past incidents as well. This change matters because it sets expectations for ongoing communication from the administration related to national airspace security and foreign surveillance.
