The bill would also require the intelligence community to update Intelligence Community Directive 208 to streamline procedures to produce and disseminate unclassified intelligence products derived entirely from open-source intelligence and determine which entities and individuals should have access to that information. “Over the last several years, the intelligence community has made important investments in open-source, unclassified intelligence that could play an important role in decision-making in Congress and other federal agencies if it was shared more widely,” said Congressman Castro. “The Open Source Intelligence Availability Act will close critical gaps in our information ecosystem and help all our federal agencies do a better job of serving the American people. I thank Chairman Gallagher for his partnership on this effort and look forward to advancing our bill through Congress.” “There’s no reason for any unclassified open-source intelligence to be siloed off from other parts of U.S. government. This is a common-sense bill that ensures that every agency across the federal government is tracking cleared intelligence products that can improve their agency's work and keep Americans even safer,” said Congressman Gallagher.
