an acute and emergent threat to the national security of the ,united ,states4 7#b7 ,foreign entities have developed and supplied foreign commercial spyware to other foreign governments that used these tools to maliciously target officials of the ,united ,states ,government4 ,many of those foreign governments have1 in service of their repressive activities1 targeted journalists1 businesspeople1 activists1 academics1 and other persons4 7#c7 ,furthermore1 public reports suggest that foreign companies involved in the proliferation of foreign commercial spyware maintain close ties to foreign governments and their intelligence services4 ,this close relationship between foreign governments and the companies selling foreign commercial spyware furthers the already substantial counterintelligence concerns for any end-user of these products1 including potential end-users in the ,united ,states4 7#d7 ,to mitigate the grave counterintelligence threat posed by the rapid spread of these tools--as well as to improve the digital security of citizens of the ,united ,states1 combat cyber threats1 and mitigate unlawful surveillance--the ,united ,states on ,january #ai1 #bjbb1 finalized a rule establishing controls on the export1 reexport1 or in-country transfer of certain items that can be used for malicious cyber activities4 7#e7 ,in furtherance of the same national security objectives1 the ,commerce ,department on ,november #d1 #bjba1 released a rule adding four foreign companies to the ,entity ,list for engaging in activities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the ,united ,states4 ,this rule had the practical effect of preventing the listed companies from receiving ,american technologies4 7#f7 ,subsequent public

,european ,parliament in #bjbb that it could not confirm the blacklisted company is complying with all relevant laws and regulatory frameworks4 7b7 ,sense of ,congress ,it is the sense of ,congress that the intelligence community1 with its unique authorities1 foreign intelligence mission1 analytical capabilities1 and other capabilities1 is best positioned to lead the efforts of the ,united ,states ,government to mitigate the counterintelligence threats posed by the rapidly expanding ecosystem of foreign commercial spyware1 including by devising and implementing strategies to protect personnel of the ,united ,states ,government from being maliciously targeted4 7c7 ,statement of policy ,it shall be the policy of the ,united ,states to decisively act against counterintelligence
