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

Summary

Limit the number, rank, legal protections, travel, housing, and offices in the United States for officials from any foreign government that runs intelligence operations in the U.S. that harm U.S. national security so they do not exceed what U.S. officials get in that foreign country. When the Secretary of State makes agreements about diplomatic rights, the Secretary must work with the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Director of National Intelligence to try to meet that goal. No later than 90 days after December 18, 2025, and every year for five years after that, 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) runs intelligence activities in the U.S. harmful to U.S. national security and (2) has in the U.S. numbers, rank, rights, travel, housing, or offices for its officials that are greater than what U.S. officials have in that country.
