Washington—Congressman Steve Israel’s (D-Huntington) bipartisan amendment to the FY16 Intelligence Authorization Act passed the House by voice vote on June 16, 2015. Rep. Israel’s amendment requires the Director of National Intelligence to issue a report on the trends regarding the use of tunnels by foreign state and non-state actors as well as our collaboration with partner nations to address the use of tunnels by our adversaries. Illicit tunnels have been used by adversaries to smuggle contraband, kidnap targets, and conduct terrorist attacks.
