****************************************************************

Section 313. Director of National Intelligence report on compliance with the Detainee
Treatment Act of 2005.

Section 313 requires the DNI to submit a classified report to the intelligence committees
on all measures taken by the Office of the DNI, and by any element of the Intelligence
Community with relevant responsibilities, on compliance with two provisions of the DetaineeTreatment Act of 2005. S. 3237 provided that the report should be submitted no later than

September 1, 2006. The bill now being reported establishes a new no-later-than date for the
report, May 1, 2007.

The Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 provides, in part, that no individual in the custody or
under the physical control of the United States, regardless of nationality or physical location,
shall be subject to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. The report required by
Section 313 shall include a description of any detention or interrogation methods that have been
determined to comply with this prohibition or have been discontinued pursuant to it.

The Detainee Treatment of Act of 2005 also provides, in part, for the protection, against
civil or criminal liability, for United States Government personnel who had engaged in officially
authorized interrogations that were determined to be lawful at the time. Section 313 requires the
DNI to report on actions taken to implement that provision.

The report required by Section 313 shall also include an appendix containing all
guidelines on the application of the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 to the detention or
interrogation activities, if any, of any element of the Intelligence Community. The appendix
shall also include all legal opinions of the DoJ about the meaning of the Detainee Treatment Act
of 2005 or its application to detention or interrogation activities, if any, of any element of the
Intelligence Community.
