Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026

H.R. 5167 would authorize federal spending for intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the U.S. Government for fiscal year 2026. The bill allocates specific funding amounts, including $642 million for the Intelligence Community Management Account and $514 million for the CIA Retirement and Disability Fund. Most of the specific funding details are kept classified and available only to congressional intelligence committees and the President.

The bill also includes provisions establishing a National Counterintelligence Center to coordinate counterintelligence efforts against foreign threats, and requires the CIA Director to issue guidance on reporting significant expenditures. The bill clarifies that authorizing these funds does not create authority for any intelligence activities that are not otherwise legally authorized. If enacted, this legislation would provide the financial framework for U.S. intelligence operations in 2026, though the full scope of spending remains classified for national security reasons.
