    Executive Order (EO) 14385 requires the Attorney General to provide DHS "with access, for purposes related to DHS's screening and vetting missions and to the maximum extent permitted by law, to CHRI [criminal history record information] available to or maintained by the Department of Justice."

    The EO also authorizes the DHS Secretary to exchange CHRI with Visa Waiver Program countries, countries that have entered into a Preventing and Combating Serious Crime or similar agreement with the U.S., and certain other "trusted allies." The EO provides that any information provided to other countries must be "for the sole purpose" of screening, and that exchanges of CHRI shall be on the basis of reciprocity or pursuant to agreements with "appropriate safeguards."
