A member of CIA Director William Burns' team had symptoms similar to the 'Havana Syndrome' in India this month, according to US media reports.
President Joe Biden on Friday signed a law providing financial support for victims of mysterious headaches and nausea suffered by US diplomats in what has been dubbed the "Havana Syndrome."
The Havana Act provides financial compensation for members of the State Department and CIA who suffer brain injury from what US officials suspect may be directed microwave attacks.
Dozens of cases have occurred at US embassies around the world, starting with a cluster in Havana, Cuba. The cause of the illnesses has not been fully diagnosed and the identity of the attacker, if there is one, has not been revealed.
"I want to thank Congress for passing it with unanimous bipartisan support, sending the clear message that we take care of our own," Biden said in a statement.
