Gathering and Reporting Assessments Yielding Zero Overlooked Nefarious Efforts Act

This bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to produce a report analyzing how foreign adversaries use covert actions (like cyber attacks, information campaigns, or proxy forces) to advance interests without triggering military responses - a tactic called "gray zone activity." The report must examine how U.S. actions might escalate or de-escalate these activities, detect them better, and strengthen international norms against them. It also mandates creating a standardized glossary defining terms like "covert operations" and "deniable actions" to improve clarity. The report must be submitted to Congress within one year of enactment and made publicly available in an unclassified version.
