HR 7668 United States House · 119th Congress

Countering China’s Control of the Caucasus Act

This bill requires U.S. agencies to report on Russian and Chinese intelligence activities in Georgia within 180 days, including how their influence might intersect. It also mandates a 5-year U.S. strategy for Georgia relations, assessing funding priorities, Georgia’s commitment to Western trade ties, and whether the U.S. should maintain Georgia as a top aid recipient. The reports will inform U.S. policy decisions about support for Georgia, a key partner in the Caucasus region. Georgia is the direct focus as the recipient of U.S. aid and subject of the intelligence review.

What changed between versions

Introduced in House Engrossed in House · 2 edits · Jun 8, 2026
MINOR
The bill underwent primarily formatting and structural reorganization between the introduced and engrossed versions. The substantive policy change is the addition of two Appropriations committees (Senate and House) to the list of 'relevant congressional committees' that receive classified intelligence reports on Russian and Chinese activities in Georgia. The short title section was also removed.
Scope change
The scope of congressional oversight was slightly expanded by adding the Senate and House Appropriations Committees as recipients of the classified intelligence report on Russian and Chinese activities in Georgia. The overall policy scope of the bill (reporting requirements and 5-year strategy) is otherwise unchanged.
SCOPE

Two additional committees were added to the definition of 'relevant congressional committees': the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives. This means these two committees will now receive the classified report on Russian and Chinese intelligence assets in Georgia, expanding oversight to include budget-focused members.

TECHNICAL

The short title section ('Countering China's Control of the Caucasus Act') was removed from the bill text.
