This bill would approve funding for U.S. intelligence agencies like the CIA and other spy organizations for the 2027 fiscal year, as well as money for managing the intelligence community and paying retirement benefits for CIA employees. The bill sets aside federal dollars that these agencies need to conduct surveillance, gather information, and carry out intelligence operations to protect national security. Congress must pass this type of funding bill annually to keep these agencies operating.
