In conducting the assessment, the Secretary— (1) shall consider whether the current policy is in need of revision to reflect changes in technology and battlefield use of TIARA systems; (2) shall specifically consider the appropriateness of the continued inclusion in the TIARA budget aggregation of each of the programs described in subsection (e); and (3) may consider the appropriateness of the continued inclusion in the TIARA budget aggregation of any other program (in addition to the programs described to in subsection (e)) that as of the date of the enactment of this Act is managed and budgeted as part of the TIARA budget aggregation. (c) Report.— Not later than March 1, 1998, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report on the assessment carried out under section (b). The Secretary shall include in the report— (1) a description of any proposed changes to Department of Defense policies for determining which programs are included in the TIARA budget aggregation; and (2) identification of each program (among the programs considered pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (b)) for which the management and budgeting of funds is to be transferred under subsection (a). (d) Identification of Programs.— (1) In specifying the programs to be included on the list under subsection (c)(2), the Secretary— (A) shall (except as otherwise provided pursuant to a waiver under paragraph (2)) include each program described in subsection (e); and (B) may include such additional programs considered in the assessment pursuant to subsection (b)(3) as the Secretary determines appropriate. (2) The Secretary, after considering the results of the assessment under subsection (c), may waive the applicability of paragraph (1)(A) to any program described in subsection (e). The Secretary shall include in the report under subsection (c) identification of each such program for which the Secretary has granted such a waiver and supporting rationale for each waiver. (e) Covered Programs.— The programs described in this subsection are the following (each of which, as of the date of the enactment of this Act, is managed and budgeted as part of the TIARA budget aggregation): (1) Each targeting or target acquisition program of the Department of Defense, including the Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) and the Advanced Deployable System. (2) Each Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment program of the Department of Defense, including the Defense Support Program, the Space-Based Infrared Program, and early warning radars. (3) Each tactical communications system of the Department of Defense, including the Joint Tactical Terminal.

SEC. 932. REPORT ON COORDINATION OF ACCESS OF COMMANDERS AND DEPLOYED UNITS TO INTELLIGENCE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED BY THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. (a) Findings.— Congress makes the following findings: (1) Coordination of operational intelligence support for the commanders of the combatant commands and deployed units of the Armed Forces has proven to be inadequate. (2) Procedures used to reconcile information among various intelligence community and Department of Defense data bases have proven to be inadequate and, being inadequate, have diminished the usefulness of that information and have precluded commanders and planners within the Armed Forces from fully benefiting from key information that should have been available to them. (3) Excessive compartmentalization of responsibilities and information within the Department of Defense and the other elements of the intelligence community has resulted in inaccurate analysis of important intelligence material. (4) Excessive restrictions on the distribution of information within the executive branch have disadvantaged units of the Armed Forces that would have benefited most from the information. (5) Procedures used in the Department of Defense to ensure that critical intelligence information is provided to the right combat units in a timely manner failed during the Persian Gulf War and, as a result, information about potential chemical weapons storage locations did not reach the units that eventually destroyed those storage areas. (6) A recent, detailed review of the events leading to and following the destruction of chemical weapons by members of the Armed Forces at Khamisiyah, Iraq, during the Persian Gulf War has revealed a number of inadequacies in the way the Department of Defense and the other elements of the intelligence community handled, distributed, recorded, and stored intelligence information about the threat of exposure of United States forces to chemical weapons and the toxic agents in those weapons. (7) The inadequacy of procedures for recording the receipt of, and reaction to, intelligence reports provided by the intelligence community to combat units of the Armed Forces during the Persian Gulf War has caused it to be impossible to analyze the failures in transmission of intelligence-related information on the location of chemical weapons at Khamisiyah, Iraq, that resulted in the demolition of chemical weapons by members of the Armed Forces unaware of the hazards to which they were exposed. (b) Report Requirement.— Not later than March 1, 1998, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report that identifies the specific actions that have been taken or are being taken to ensure that there is adequate coordination of access of commanders of the combatant commands and deployed units of the Armed Forces to intelligence collected and analyzed by the intelligence community. SEC. 933. PROTECTION OF IMAGERY, IMAGERY INTELLIGENCE, AND GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION AND DATA. (a) Protection of Information on Capabilities.— Paragraph (1)(B) of section 455(b) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by inserting “, or capabilities,” after “methods”. (b) Products Protected.— (1) Paragraph (2) of such section is amended to read as follows: “(2) In this subsection, the term ‘geodetic product’ means imagery, imagery intelligence, or geospatial information.”. (2) Section 467(4) of title 10, United States Code, is amended— (A) by inserting “and” at the end of subparagraph (A); (B) in subparagraph (B), by striking out “and geodetic data; and” and inserting in lieu thereof “geodetic data, and related products.”; and (C) by striking out subparagraph (C). SEC. 934. POW/MIA INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS. (a) Intelligence Analysis.— The Director of Central Intelligence, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, shall provide intelligence analysis on matters concerning prisoners of war and missing persons (as defined in chapter 76 of title 10, United States Code) to all departments and agencies of the Federal Government involved in such matters. (b) Use of Intelligence in Analysis of POW/MIA Cases in Department of Defense.— The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that the Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office of the Department of Defense takes into full account all intelligence regarding matters concerning of prisoners of war and missing persons (as defined in chapter 76 of title 10, United States Code) in analyzing cases involving such persons.
