To prohibit persons who are not citizens of the United States, except for those from the "Five Eyes", from accessing or entering Department of Energy sites and facilities.
This bill prohibits non-U.S. citizens from accessing or entering Department of Energy (DOE) sites and facilities, with an exception for citizens of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom (the "Five Eyes" alliance).
