SEC. 13. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that an assessment made by the Secretary of Homeland Security or the Director of the Secret Service with regard to physical security of the White House and attendant grounds, and any security-related enhancements thereto should be accorded substantial deference by the National Capital Planning Commission, the Commission of Fine Arts, and any other relevant entities. Purpose and Summary This bill provides necessary changes and reforms to the operations of the United States Secret Service (USSS) and provides it the tools required to carry out its protective mission. It also provides for increased oversight of the USSS through a Senate-confirmed director, new reporting requirements, and the creation of an ethics office within the USSS Office of Chief Counsel. Background and Need for the Legislation The United States Secret Service (USSS), located within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has two missions-- criminal investigations and protection. Criminal investigation activities encompass financial crimes, identity theft, counterfeiting, computer fraud, and computer-based attacks on the nation's financial, banking, and telecommunications infrastructure. The protection mission is the more publicly visible of the two, covering the President, Vice President, their families, former Presidents and Vice Presidents, and major candidates for those offices, along with the White House and the Vice President's residence (through the Service's Uniformed Division). Protective duties of the USSS also extend to foreign missions (such as embassies, consulates, and foreign dignitary residences) in the District of Columbia and to designated individuals, such as the Homeland Security Secretary and visiting foreign dignitaries. Separate from these assignments, the USSS is also responsible for certain security activities such as National Special Security Events (NSSEs), which include presidential inaugurations, the major party national conventions, as well as international conferences and events held in the United States. The USSS employs approximately 3,200 special agents, 1,300 Uniformed Division officers, and more than 2,000 other technical, professional and administrative support personnel who help carry out these dual missions. It has been reported that the USSS has faced staffing shortages in recent years that may have impacted the agency's protective mission. Secret Service agents receive continuous advanced training throughout their careers. In part, this training consists of regular firearms requalification and emergency medicine refresher courses. Agents assigned to protective assignments also participate in unique simulated crisis training scenarios that present agents with a variety of ``real world'' emergency situations involving USSS protectees. These training simulations are designed to provide agents with immediate feedback concerning their response to a variety of emergency response scenarios. In November 2014, the Committee held a hearing with the USSS Acting Director. The hearing included both a Law Enforcement Sensitive portion and an open proceeding. The Committee questioned the Acting Director about a number of security and personnel incidents including the Omar Gonzalez fence jumper incident, the Atlanta elevator incident, the Oscar Ortega-Hernandez incident, the Hay-Adams Hotel bullet incident, and the Cartagena prostitution scandal, among others. In the wake of these incidents, President Obama empaneled a commission to review the USSS and make suggestions for improvements to its protective mission--The Secret Service Protective Mission Panel (USSSPMP). This panel included Tom Perrelli, former Associate Attorney General; Mark Filip, former Deputy Attorney General; Danielle Gray, former Cabinet Secretary and Assistant to the President; and Joseph Hagin, former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. The USSSPMP made numerous recommendations to improve the agency. This legislation is a product of both the Committee's oversight hearings on the issue, and the recommendations of the USSSPMP. Hearings The Committee on the Judiciary held no hearings on H.R. 1656. Committee Consideration On July 15, the Committee met in open session and ordered the bill, H.R. 1656, favorably reported with an amendment, by voice vote, a quorum being present. Committee Votes In compliance with clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee advises that there were no recorded votes during the Committee's consideration of H.R. 1656. Committee Oversight Findings In compliance with clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee advises that the findings and recommendations of the Committee, based on oversight activities under clause 2(b)(1) of rule X of the Rules of the House of Representatives, are incorporated in the descriptive portions of this report. New Budget Authority and Tax Expenditures Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives is inapplicable because this legislation does not provide new budgetary authority or increased tax expenditures. Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate With respect to clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, an estimate and comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 was not submitted to the Committee before the filing of the report. Duplication of Federal Programs No provision of H.R. 1656 establishes or reauthorizes a program of the Federal Government known to be duplicative of another Federal program, a program that was included in any report from the Government Accountability Office to Congress pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-139, or a program related to a program identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. Disclosure of Directed Rule Makings The Committee estimates that H.R. 1656 specifically directs to be completed no specific rule makings within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. 551. Performance Goals and Objectives The Committee states that pursuant to clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, H.R. 1656 provides reforms, oversight and tools to the USSS to improve the agency's protective mission. Advisory on Earmarks In accordance with clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives, H.R. 1656 does not contain any congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined in clause 9(e), 9(f), or 9(g) of Rule XXI.

Thereafter, [any expenditures by the Secret Service to maintain a permanent guard detail or for permanent facilities, equipment, and services to secure the non-Governmental property previously designated under subsection (a) shall be subject to the limitations imposed under section 4] any expenditures by the Secret Service for permanent facilities, equipment, and services to secure the non-Governmental property previously designated under subsection (a) are subject to the requirements set forth in section 4. (c) For the purposes of this section, where two or more protectees share the same domicile, such protectees shall be deemed a single protectee. [Sec. 4.
