I am similarly pleased that this bill provides for stronger intelligence cooperation with U.S. allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific to enhance multilateral deterrence, requires measures to address the national security risks posed by the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to U.S. adversaries, and supports sustained investment in intelligence diplomacy. These are all priorities that I championed.

The verified passage shows Bennet materially contributed language in the committee report directing the Intelligence Community to prioritize sustained investment in intelligence diplomacy. That is a documented candidate-attributable partial outcome and effort, but the verified evidence does not prove final enactment, implementation, or that the IC actually prioritized the investment.
