The bill would
  *  Authorize appropriations of $1.5 billion to develop technologies for fifth-generation wireless communications
  *  Authorize appropriations of $731 million for fiscal year 2021 for the Intelligence Community Management
     Account (ICMA)
  *  Require the Director of National Intelligence to carry out a program to analyze information on social media
     platforms
  *  Modify the process to appeal the revocation or denial of a security clearance
  *  Provide whistleblowers a right of action in federal courts to seek compensatory and punitive damages
  *  Impose a private-sector mandate on the committees of Presidential campaigns by requiring them to report to
     the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacts by foreign entities offering contributions or election coordination

Estimated  budgetary effects would primarily stem from
    Authorizing appropriations to develop fifth-generation wireless communications technologies
    Authorizing appropriations for the ICMA
    Paying for the analysis of information found on social media platforms
    Modifying the process to appeal revoked and denied security clearances

Areas  of significant uncertainty include
  *  Predicting the number of whistleblowers who would successfully obtain monetary awards through the judicial
     system and the amounts of such awards

                                Detailed estimate begins on the next page.
