SEC. 825. NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE ESTIMATE ON ESCALATION AND DE-
ESCALATION OF GRAY ZONE ACTIVITIES IN GREAT POWER COMPETITION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The conventional power of the United States has driven
foreign adversaries to a level of competition that does not always
depend on military confrontation with the United States.
(2) Rather than challenging the United States in a manner that
could provoke a kinetic military response, foreign adversaries of
the United States have turned to carrying out gray zone activities
to advance the interests of such adversaries, weaken the power of
the United States, and erode the norms that underpin the United
States-led international order.
(3) Gray zone activity falls on a spectrum of attribution and
deniability that ranges from covert adversary operations, to
detectible covert adversary operations, to unattributable adversary
operations, to deniable adversary operations, to open adversary
operations.
(4) To adequately address such a shift to gray zone activity,
the United States must understand what actions tend to either
escalate or de-escalate such activity by its adversaries.
(5) The laws, principles, and values of the United States are
strategic advantages in great power competition with authoritarian
foreign adversaries that carry out gray zone activities, because
such laws, principles, and values increase the appeal of the
governance model of the United States, and the United States-led
international order, to states and peoples around the world.
(6) The international security environment has demonstrated
numerous examples of gray zone activities carried out by foreign
adversaries, including the following activities of foreign
adversaries:
(A) Information operations, such as efforts by Russia to
influence the 2020 United States Federal elections (as
described in the March 15, 2021, intelligence community
assessment of the Office of the Director of National
Intelligence made publicly available on March 15, 2021).
(B) Adversary political coercion operations, such as the
wielding of energy by Russia, particularly in the context of
Ukrainian gas pipelines, to coerce its neighbors into
compliance with its policies.
(C) Adversary economic coercion operations, such as the
threat, and use, by China of economic retaliation to coerce
sovereign countries into compliance with its policies or to
blunt any criticism of its violations of the rules-based
international order and its perpetration of severe human rights
abuses.
(D) Cyber operations, such as the use by China of cyber
tools to conduct industrial espionage.
(E) Provision of support to proxy forces, such as the
support provided by Iran to Hezbollah and Shia militia groups.
(F) Provocation by armed forces controlled by the
government of the foreign adversary through measures that do
not rise to the level of an armed attack, such as the use of
the China Coast Guard and maritime militia by China to harass
the fishing vessels of other countries in the South China Sea.
(G) Alleged uses of lethal force on foreign soil, such as
the 2018 poisoning of Sergei Skripal in London by Russia.
(H) The potential use by an adversary of technology that
causes anomalous health incidents among United States
Government personnel.
(b) National Intelligence Estimate.--
(1) Requirement.--The Director of National Intelligence, acting
through the National Intelligence Council, shall produce a National
Intelligence Estimate on how foreign adversaries use gray zone
activities to advance interests, what responses by the United
States (or the allies or partners of the United States) would tend
to result in the escalation or de-escalation of such gray zone
activities by foreign adversaries, and any opportunities for the
United States to minimize the extent to which foreign adversaries
use gray zone activities in furtherance of great power competition.
(2) Matters included.--To the extent determined appropriate by
the National Intelligence Council, the National Intelligence
Estimate produced under paragraph (1) may include an assessment of
the following topics:
(A) Any potential or actual lethal or harmful gray zone
activities carried out against the United States by foreign
adversaries, including against United States Government
employees and United States persons, whether located within or
outside of the United States.
(B) To the extent such activities have occurred, or are
predicted to occur--
(i) opportunities to reduce or deter any such
activities; and
(ii) any actions of the United States Government that
would tend to result in the escalation or de-escalation of
such activities.
(C) Any incidents in which foreign adversaries could have
used, but ultimately did not use, gray zone activities to
advance the interests of such adversaries, including an
assessment as to why the foreign adversary ultimately did not
use gray zone activities.
(D) The effect of lowering the United States Government
threshold for the public attribution of detectible covert
adversary operations, unattributable adversary operations, and
deniable adversary operations.
(E) The effect of lowering the United States Government
threshold for responding to detectible covert adversary
operations, unattributable adversary operations, and deniable
adversary operations.
(F) The extent to which the governments of foreign
adversaries exercise control over any proxies or parastate
actors used by such governments in carrying out gray zone
activities.
(G) The extent to which gray zone activities carried out by
foreign adversaries affect the private sector of the United
States.
(H) The international norms that provide the greatest
deterrence to gray zone activities carried out by foreign
adversaries, and opportunities for strengthening those norms.
(I) The effect, if any, of the strengthening of democratic
governance abroad on the resilience of United States allies and
partners to gray zone activities.
(J) Opportunities to strengthen the resilience of United
States allies and partners to gray zone activities, and
associated tactics, carried out by foreign adversaries.
(K) Opportunities for the United States to improve the
detection of, and early warning for, such activities and
tactics.

international support in responding to such activities and
tactics.
