SEC. 1101. <<NOTE: 10 USC 441 note.>> SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``National Imagery and Mapping Agency 
Act of 1996''.

SEC. 1102. <<NOTE: 10 USC 441 note.>> FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) There is a need within the Department of Defense and the 
        Intelligence Community of the United States to provide a single 
        agency focus for the growing number and diverse types of 
        customers for imagery and geospatial information resources 
        within the Government, to ensure visibility and accountability 
        for those resources, and to harness, leverage, and focus rapid 
        technological developments to serve the imagery, imagery 
        intelligence, and geospatial information customers.
            (2) There is a need for a single Government agency to 
        solicit and advocate the needs of that growing and diverse pool 
        of customers.
            (3) A single combat support agency dedicated to imagery, 
        imagery intelligence, and geospatial information could act as a 
        focal point for support of all imagery intelligence and 
        geospatial information customers, including customers in the 
        Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and related 
        agencies outside of the Department of Defense.
            (4) Such an agency would best serve the needs of the 
        imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information 
        customers if it were organized--
                    (A) to carry out its mission responsibilities under 
                the authority, direction, and control of the Secretary 
                of Defense, with the advice of the Chairman of the Joint 
                Chiefs of Staff; and
                    (B) to carry out its responsibilities to national 
                intelligence customers in accordance with policies and 
                priorities established by the Director of Central 
                Intelligence.
