MEASURES TO MITIGATE COUNTERINTELLIGENCE THREATS FROM PROLIFERATION AND USE OF FOREIGN COMMERCIAL SPYWARE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The proliferation of foreign commercial spyware poses an acute and emergent threat to the national security of the United States.
(2) Foreign entities have developed and supplied foreign commercial spyware to other foreign governments that used these tools to maliciously target officials of the United States Government.
Many of those foreign governments have, in service of their repressive activities, targeted journalists, businesspeople, activists, academics, and other persons.
(3) Furthermore, public reports suggest that foreign companies involved in the proliferation of foreign commercial spyware maintain close ties to foreign governments and their intelligence services.
This close relationship between foreign governments and the companies selling foreign commercial spyware furthers the already substantial counterintelligence concerns for any end-user of these products, including potential end-users in the United States.
(4) To mitigate the grave counterintelligence threat posed by the rapid spread of these tools--as well as to improve the digital security of citizens of the United States, combat cyber threats, and mitigate unlawful surveillance--the United States on January 19, 2022, finalized a rule establishing controls on the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of certain items that can be used for malicious cyber activities.
(5) In furtherance of the same national security objectives, the Commerce Department on November 4, 2021, released a rule adding four foreign companies to the Entity List for engaging in activities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.
This rule had the practical effect of preventing the listed companies from receiving American technologies.
(6) Subsequent public reports indicate that at least one of the four companies added to the Entity List attempted to evade these and other restrictions, and a private consultancy which oversees that company informed the European Parliament in 2022 that it could not confirm the blacklisted company is complying with all relevant laws and regulatory frameworks.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the intelligence community, with its unique authorities, foreign intelligence mission, analytical capabilities, and other capabilities, is best positioned to lead the efforts of the United States Government to mitigate the counterintelligence threats posed by the rapidly expanding ecosystem of foreign commercial spyware, including by devising and implementing strategies to protect personnel of the United States Government from being maliciously targeted.
(c) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States to decisively act against counterintelligence threats posed by foreign commercial spyware, as well as the individuals who lead entities selling foreign commercial spyware and who are reasonably believed to be involved, have been involved, or pose a significant risk to being or becoming involved, in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.
(d) Measures to Mitigate Counterintelligence Threats.--Title XI of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C.
3231 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 1102 the following new section (and conforming the table of contents at the beginning of such Act accordingly):
``SEC.
