Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 116th
Date Requested Oct. 1, 2020
Requested By House Committee on Foreign Affairs
Date Sent Nov. 2, 2020
Description:
H.R. 8405 would require the Department of State to brief athletes who represent the United States in international competitions about security conditions and safety precautions in certain host countries. Under the bill, the department would provide them in-person or electronic briefings about countries that: Are designated as a Communist country under current law, Have a poor record on human rights or trafficking in persons, or May spy on the United States. The department already collects and disseminates much of the information that would be provided to athletes under the bill. On the basis of information about similar requirements, CBO estimates that gathering and providing any additional information would cost less than $500,000 over the 2021-2025 period. Such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
