Full title
To amend title VI of the National Security Act of 1947 to require reports to be submitted to the Attorney General and the congressional intelligence committees regarding requests for information about an officer, employee, or agent of an element of the intelligence community and to amend the definition of covert agent to include agents that have served outside the United States at any time.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 110th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
