(2) Nothing in this section shall be construed to modify or supersede any other requirement to report information on intelligence activities to Congress, including the requirement under section 501 of the National Security Act of 1947 ([50 U.S.C. 3091](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title50-section3091&num=0&edition=prelim)) for the President to ensure that the congressional intelligence committees are kept fully informed of the intelligence activities of the United States and for those committees to notify promptly other congressional committees of any matter relating to intelligence activities requiring the attention of those committees.
