This bill aims to repeal the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2013 , effectively reinstating and strengthening prohibitions against the Federal Government influencing domestic public opinion or engaging in propagandization within the United States. It specifically targets the Department of State and the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM), authorizing them to prepare and disseminate information abroad about the U.S. and its policies. However, it explicitly restricts their foreign dissemination efforts to official platforms, prohibiting the use of other social media, websites, or podcasts. Under the bill, materials produced for foreign audiences generally cannot be disseminated domestically, with an exception allowing Members of Congress to review them for official oversight functions. Furthermore, it mandates that such materials be made available to the Archivist of the United States after 20 years for public examination, though not for reproduction or redistribution. These archived materials must include clear identifiers of their origin and purpose and cannot be domestically distributed by the Archivist before the 20-year period expires. The legislation also clarifies that providing factual information about agency operations, policies, or programs to the media, public, or Congress is not prohibited.
