Senate and House Republicans want new requirements that the Department of Defense (DOD) make public unclassified information it has redacted on Pentagon funding of enhancement research on pathogens with pandemic potential that is linked to the Chinese military.
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) are acting in response to a Department of Defense Inspector General (DOD-IG) report that said auditors cannot track all such potential funding because of inadequacies in the Pentagon’s budget management system.
