The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) shall report to Congress a classified, intelligence-based assessment on the threat of global pandemic disease, including an assessment of the possible courses of the COVID-19 pandemic in the 18 months following the report.

The reports shall also be publicly available, except that the publicly available ODNI assessment shall be an unclassified version of the classified report given to Congress.
