 #bjbb,mr4 ,grassley introduced the     
following bill2 which was read twice and
 referred to the ,committee on the      
,judiciary  ,a ,,bill  ,to require      
certain nonprofit and not-for-profit    
social welfare organizations to submit  
disclosure reports on foreign funding to
 the ,attorney ,general1 and for other  
purposes4  #a4 ,short title ,this ,act  
may be cited as the ,think ,tank        
,transparency ,act4  #b4 ,findings      
,congress finds the following3 7#a7     
,think tanks have provided ,congress and
 the executive branch with a wealth of  
research and scholarship that largely   
has benefitted the public in the ,united
 ,states by improving the drafting1     
enactment1 and enforcement of policy in 
the ,united ,states4  7#b7 ,there is    
broad bipartisan agreement that think   
tanks possess enormous influence on the 
passage and enforcement of policies1    

particularly those that relate to       
foreign policy4  7#c7 ,in recent years1 
foreign funding of think tanks has      
increased substantially4  7#d7          
,congress1 the executive branch1 and    
especially the people of the ,united    
,states have a right to-- 7,a7 know     
which think tanks receive foreign funds2
 and  7,b7 assess for themselves the    
extent that foreign influence should be 
considered when analyzing the           
credibility and value of research and   
scholarship produced by such think tanks
 that receive foreign funds4  7#e7 ,the 
,united ,states ,house of               
,representatives has already recognized 
the national security issues inherent in
 undue foreign influence of entities    
with covert sources of foreign funding  
that testify before ,congress4 ,since   
#bjae1 representatives of entities who  
testify before the ,united ,states      
,house of ,representatives have been    
required to disclose relevant foreign   
funding sources directed to them or     

their employers in ,truth-in-,testimony 
disclosure forms required under clause  
#b7;g77#e7 of rule ,,xi of the ,united  
,states ,house of ,representatives4     
7#f7 ,almost #cj years ago1 ,congress   
enacted section #aag of the ,higher     
,education ,act of #aife 7#bj ,u4,s4,c4 
#ajaa;f7 7hereinafter referred to as    
section #aag7 in light of concerns about
 the growing financial relationship     
between universities in the ,united     
,states and foreign sources4 ,in        
enacting that legislation1 ,congress    
balanced academic freedom and national  
security by mandating financial         
transparency through required reporting 
of contracts with1 and gifts from1 any  
foreign source4  7#g7 ,section #aag does
 not prohibit institutions of higher    
education from taking foreign money1 but
 rather mandates accurate and           
transparent disclosures of sources and  
amounts received by those institutions  
to the ,department of ,education4 ,in   
#bjai1 the ,department of ,education    

took concrete steps to enforce section  
#aag by ensuring the integrity of       
reporting requirements1 confirming the  
correct reporting and categorization of 
donations1 and prohibiting the use of   
domestic conduits and intermediaries to 
avoid the disclosures of foreign gifts4 
7#h7 ,between #bjaa and #bjba1 the      
,russian ,federation 7hereinafter       
referred to as ,russia7 has given not   
less than #afj1jjj1jjj to universities  
in the ,united ,states4 ,the ,people's  
,republic of ,china 7hereinafter        
referred to as ,china7 alone has given  
not less than #b1gjj1jjj1jjj to         
universities in the ,united ,states     
during the same time frame4 ,further1   
during that span1 the ,state of ,qatar  
7hereinafter referred to as ,qatar7 has 
given not less than #e1jjj1jjj1jjj to   
universities in the ,united ,states4    
7#i7 ,russia1 ,china1 and ,qatar each   
have repressive and deeply troubling    
records relating to human rights1 and   
all #c have engaged in cyber espionage  

targeting individuals in the ,united    
,states4  7#aj7 ,russia1 ,china1 and    
,qatar all pose grave threats to the    
national security interests of the      
,united ,states1 yet those countries    
have successfully lavished billions of  
dollars to cultivate strong ties with   
institutions of higher education and    
research across the ,united ,states4    
7#aa7 ,there is also evidence suggesting
 that ,qatar encouraged1 and potentially
 facilitated1 universities in the       
,united ,states receiving the largess of
 ,qatar to flout disclosure requirements
 of the ,united ,states under section   
#aag4  7#ab7 ,although the ,center for  
,international ,policy conducted a study
 in #bjbj that concluded that think     
tanks focused on ,federal policy        
received not less than #agd1jjj1jjj in  
funding from foreign governmental       
entities between #bjad and #bjah1 there 
is currently no means to determine the  
actual level or extent of foreign       
influence on those think tanks4  7#ac7  

,what is clear is the vast amount of    
foreign funding that ,united            
,states-based think tanks receive1 and  
that such foreign funding affects the   
direction of their policy               
recommendations4  7#ad7 ,one prominent  
think tank1 the ,east,west ,institute1  
received substantial funding from the   
,people's ,liberation ,army of ,china1  
which conducts cyber espionage attacks1 
including against individuals in the    
,united ,states4  7#ae7 ,the ,stimson   
,center worked to significantly alter   
the ,homeland and ,cyber ,threat ,act   
7,h4,r4 #afjg1 #aagth ,congress1 as     
introduced on ,march #h1 #bjba7         
7hereinafter referred to as the ,,hact  
,act74 ,the ,,hact ,act1 which would    
provide an exception to chapter #ig of  
title #bh1 ,united ,states ,code        
7commonly known as the ,foreign         
,sovereign ,immunities ,act of #aigf71  
to allow ,united ,states persons harmed 
by foreign-government sponsored         
cyberattacks to bring civil claims for  

damages4 ,the changes advocated by the  
,stimson ,center would gut the bill and 
render it completely ineffective in     
holding foreign nations and their agents
 responsible for cyberattacks on and in 
the ,united ,states4  7#af7 ,one of the 
main sources of the funding of the      
,stimson ,center is ,qatar1 a major     
sponsor of terrorism worldwide and one  
of the most notorious sponsors of       
cyberattacks against entities in the    
,united ,states4 ,in #bjai alone 7the   
last year for which public figures are  
available7 the ,stimson ,center received
 over #fjj1jjj in contributions from the
 government of ,qatar4  7#ag7 ,the      
,brookings ,institution has received at 
least #bb1jjj1jjj from ,qatar from #bjac
 through #bjba1 but the exact amount has
 not been disclosed publicly4  7#ah7    
,there is also significant concern in   
,congress about potential contractual   
stipulations tied to foreign funding    
that could be leveraged by foreign      
powers to exert even greater influence  

over the research and policy            
recommendations of think tanks that the 
,federal ,government and the public in  
the ,united ,states would otherwise     
believe to be independent4  7#ai7 ,in a 
#bjjg ,establishment ,agreement between 
the ,brookings ,institution and the     
,ministry of ,foreign ,affairs of       
,qatar--which appears to have been in   
place in its original form through the  
end of #bjba--the ,doha branch of the   
,brookings ,institution1 called         
,brookings ,doha ,center1 was           
effectively owned and controlled by the 
,emir of ,qatar4 ,under the terms of the
 contract1 the role of the ,brookings   
,institution in the ,brookings ,doha    
,center was limited to that of a        
promoter4  7#bj7 ,as only revealed      
publicly in ,june #bjbb1 the ,brookings 
,doha ,center was a separate and        
distinct legal entity from the          
,brookings ,institution1 specifically a 
,private ,foundation for the ,public    
,benefit1 the same incorporation status 

as the propaganda arm of ,qatar1 ,al    
,jazeera4  7#ba7 ,pursuant to the #bjjg 
,establishment ,agreement1 the ,director
 of the ,brookings ,doha ,center was    
required to report directly to the      
,ministry of ,foreign ,affairs of       
,qatar1 including to engage in regular  
consultation 4 4 4 regarding the        
development and ongoing operations and  
for prior approval of programs that will
 be developed by the ,brookings ,doha   
,center44  7#bb7 ,the ,brookings ,doha  
,center was renamed the ,middle ,east   
,council on ,global ,affairs1 and       
evidence indicates that the ,middle     
,east ,council on ,global ,affairs is   
now entirely under the control of the   
,qatari ,government4 ,according to a    
,january #bjbb amendment to the #bjjg   
articles of incorporation of the        
,brookings ,doha ,center1 the ,brookings
 ,institution ceded the promoter role   
for ,brookings ,doha ,center to a senior
 employee of ,ministry of ,foreign      
,affairs of ,qatar1 ,majed ,al-,ansari4 

,this amendment also called on the      
,middle ,east ,council on ,global       
,affairs to assume control of           
intellectual property rights that had   
been under the ,brookings ,institution  
brand1 including the content from and   
followers of the ,brookings,doha        
,twitter account4  7#bc7 ,congress      
currently is unable to determine what   
other agreements that the ,brookings    
,institution or other influential think 
tanks have with foreign governmental    
entities1 a void which has already been 
exploited by at least ,qatar in         
obtaining prior approval of budgets and 
research projects conducted under the   
branding of the ,brookings ,institution 
and the ,brookings ,doha ,center in the 
aforementioned #bjjg contract1 or the   
transference of valuable intellectual   
property to the ,qatari ,government     
pursuant to the #bjbb amendment to the  
articles of incorporation of the ,middle
 ,east ,council on ,global ,affairs4    
7#bd7 ,there is broad bipartisan        

agreement that undue foreign influence  
obscured through the use of proxies--or 
hidden by the powerful brand of a highly
 respected think tank--threatens the    
national security interests of the      
,united ,states4 ,there is also broad   
agreement that transparency is the most 
important and effective tool for        
reducing the harm of foreign influence  
targeting ,united ,states public policy 
or public opinion4  7#be7 ,as such1 this
 bill aims to provide critical          
transparency regarding the foreign      
funding provided to1 and the related    
contractual agreements with1 think tanks
 whose work includes influencing ,united
 ,states policies or public opinion4
