The Senate Passed a Bill to Declassify COVID-19 Origin Information

Senator Josh Hawley introduced a bill (which passed unanimously) which outlined that the Director of National Intelligence would be required to declassify information relating to the origin of COVID-19. The bill was introduced in the Senate, read twice, considered, read the third time, and passed without amendment by Unanimous Consent.

(3) the Director of National Intelligence should declassify and make available to the public as much information as possible about the origin of COVID–19 so the United States and like-minded countries can— (A) identify the origin of COVID–19 as expeditiously as possible, and (B) use that information to take all appropriate measures to prevent a similar pandemic from occurring again.
