       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.

     element of the Federal Government, including the individual
     components of such Program developed by the Defense Advanced

                     JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

[...]

                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.
