• amends ← An amendment to state that it shall not be an offense under section 601 to transmit or disclose information previously available from public sources or unclassified materials. Section 601 deals with release of information that identifies foreign covert agents of the U.S. and the penalties for such acts.
• amends ← An amendment to add a new subsection to Section 601 providing for criminal liability for anyone who claims, rightly or wrongly, that a U.S. official overseas is a covert agent and thereby places in imminent danger the life or safety of any individual.

• amends ← An amendment to permit the U.S. district courts to issue permanent or temporary injunctions, restraining orders, or any other orders against individuals who, in the judgement of the heads of any department engaged in foreign intelligence or counter intelligence activities, is about to engage in conduct in violation of this Act. The complaint against the individuals must be taken to the court by the Attorney General and the court hearing is to be held in camera.

The Ashbrook language requires that the one disclosing information that identifies a covert agent the U.S. seeks to conceal must have "reason to believe" his activity would impair or impede the foreign intelligence activities of the U.S. The bill language states the person must have the "intent to" impair and impede. Also the Ashbrook language says the person must engage in a "course of activities intended to identify and expose covert agents" and the bill language states he must be engaged in "the course of an effort to identify and expose". This section of the bill deals with those who expose agents without having prior access to classified information.
• amends ← An amendment to strike the language that defines "covert agent" and insert new language. The new language adds former agents to the definition.
• amends ← Of a technical nature.
