       Sec. 8131. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
     none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available in 
     this or any other Act may be obligated for the Terrorism 
     Information Awareness Program: Provided, That this limitation 
     shall not apply to the program hereby authorized for 
     Processing, analysis, and collaboration tools for 
     counterterrorism foreign intelligence, as described in the 
     Classified Annex accompanying the Department of Defense 
     Appropriations Act, 2004, for which funds are expressly 
     provided in the National Foreign Intelligence Program for 
     counterterrorism foreign intelligence purposes.
       (b) None of the funds provided for Processing, analysis, 
     and collaboration tools for counterterrorism foreign 
     intelligence shall be available for deployment or 
     implementation except for:
       (1) lawful military operations of the United States 
     conducted outside the United States; or
       (2) lawful foreign intelligence activities conducted wholly 
     overseas, or wholly against non-United States citizens.
       (c) In this section, the term "Terrorism Information 
     Awareness Program" means the program known either as 
     Terrorism Information Awareness or Total Information 
     Awareness, or any successor program, funded by the Defense 
     Advanced Research Projects Agency, or any other Department or 
     element of the Federal Government, including the individual 
     components of such Program developed by the Defense Advanced 
     Research Projects Agency.

[...]	  
 
                Terrorism Information Awareness (TIA)

       The conferees agree with the Senate position which 
     eliminates funding for the Terrorism Information Awareness 
     (TIA) program within the Defense Advanced Research Projects 
     Agency (DARPA). The conferees are concerned about the 
     activities of the Information Awareness Office and direct 
     that the Office be terminated immediately. The only research 
     projects previously under the jurisdiction of the Information 
     Awareness Office that may continue under DARPA are: Bio-Event 
     Advanced Leading Indicator Recognition Technology, Rapid 
     Analytic Wargaming, Wargaming the Asymmetric Environment, and 
     Automated Speech and Text Exploitation in Multiple Languages 
     (including Babylon and Symphony). The conferees find these 
     programs are not components of TIA for the purposes of 
     section 8131. The conference agreement does not restrict the 
     National Foreign Intelligence Program from using processing, 
     analysis and collaboration tools for counterterrorism foreign 
     intelligence purposes.
