This section limits military operations that affect another country's information environment. Before the Secretary can approve such an operation, the Secretary must fully inform the U.S. chief of mission for that country. This notice must happen under section 207 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980. Without giving this full notice, the Secretary cannot authorize the operation.
