§254c–1 Policy Toward Certain Agents of Foreign Governments

Summary

Congress says the United States should not give any foreign government that spies here in ways that harm U.S. security more diplomats, higher rank, special privileges, travel, housing, or facilities in the U.S. than the United States has in that foreign country. The Secretary of State must work with the FBI Director and the Director of National Intelligence when making diplomatic agreements to follow that idea. Not later than 90 days after December 18, 2025, and once a year after that for 5 years, the Secretary of State, the FBI Director, and the Director of National Intelligence must send a report to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, the Senate Committee on Appropriations, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, the House Committee on the Judiciary, and the House Committee on Appropriations. The report must list each foreign government that (1) spies in the U.S. in ways that harm national security and (2) has more staff, rank, privileges, travel, housing, or facilities here than U.S. officials have in that country.
