Declassifying Intelligence on COVID-19 Origins and Foreign Government Obstruction.
This Act mandates U.S. intelligence agencies to review and publicly release classified information related to the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic within 180 days. The goal is to provide citizens with greater transparency regarding the virus's beginnings, including research conducted in China and efforts by the Chinese government to obstruct investigations or suppress critical medical data. This release of previously secret documents aims to inform the public debate on global health security.
