Extend counterintelligence law to foreign spying at universities
What the document says“The CEA should be updated to include foreign espionage efforts aimed at universities.”
The Counterintelligence Enhancement Act of 2002 governs the national counterintelligence structure. The chapter asks that it be updated to cover foreign espionage aimed at universities, that the National Counterintelligence and Security Center's role be amplified, and that the FBI receive significant additional resources and legal authorities as the lead operational counterintelligence agency. It states that China steals at least $400 billion to $600 billion in intellectual property each year.
What the document actually says“The CEA should be updated to include foreign espionage efforts aimed at universities.”
Update this law. Make it cover foreign spying aimed at universities.
Other countries try to steal research. Some of it is done at universities. The book says the law should cover that.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
