Summary

Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018

This bill authorizes FY2018 appropriations for intelligence community programs and activities, including personnel limits. It does not provide budget authority, which is provided in subsequent appropriations legislation.

The bill eliminates or transfers several intelligence entities from Defense Intelligence Agency to other intelligence networks.

The bill requires a public report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence about foreign cyberthreats to elections for federal offices.

Contracts awarded in the intelligence community must not limit a contractor's interaction with congressional intelligence committees.

The bill also sets forth reporting requirements regarding various intelligence matters, including security clearance processes, investigations of leaked classified information, cybersecurity issues, and Russian influence campaigns directed at foreign elections and Russian financing of terrorism.

This bill expresses the sense of Congress that per the National Security Act of 1947 the intelligence community is required to notify the congressional intelligence committees within seven days of an individual in the executive branch disclosing classified intelligence to North Korea, Iran, China, Russia or Cuba using methods other than established intelligence channels.
