Sec. 2723. Notice to congressional committees of certain 
        security and counterintelligence failures within defense 
        programs
        
    (a) Required Notification.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
Representatives a notification of each security or counterintelligence 
failure or compromise of classified information relating to any defense 
operation, system, or technology of the United States that the Secretary 
considers likely to cause significant harm or damage to the national 
security interests of the United States. The Secretary shall consult 
with the Director of Central Intelligence and the Director of the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation, as appropriate, before submitting any 
such notification.
    (b) Manner of Notification.--Notification of a failure or compromise 
of classified information under subsection (a) shall be provided, in 
accordance with the procedures established pursuant to subsection (c), 
not later than 30 days after the date on which the Department of Defense 
determines that the failure or compromise has taken place.
    (c) Procedures.--The Secretary of Defense and the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives shall each 
establish such procedures as may be necessary to protect from 
unauthorized disclosure classified information, information relating to 
intelligence sources and methods, and sensitive law enforcement 
information that is submitted to those committees pursuant to this 
section and that are otherwise necessary to carry out the provisions of 
this section.
    (d) Statutory Construction.--(1) Nothing in this section shall be 
construed as authority to withhold any information from the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives on the 
grounds that providing the information to those committees would 
constitute the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, 
information relating to intelligence sources and methods, or sensitive 
law enforcement information.
    (2) Nothing in this section shall be construed to modify or 
supersede any other requirement to report information on intelligence 
activities to the Congress, including the requirement under section 501 
of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 413).
