SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The people of Afghanistan have suffered for over 20 
        years from continual conflict, civil strife, and from 
        successive repressive regimes supported by foreign governments 
        resulting in one of the lowest levels of life expectancy, adult 
        literacy, and high levels of infant and child mortality, 
        maternal mortality, and malnutrition.
            (2) Afghanistan has experienced near total devastation 
        through two decades of war, resulting in the largest 
        concentration of land mines and unexploded ordinances and the 
        destruction of most urban infrastructure, including schools, 
        hospitals, and powerplants.
            (3) As a result, there are approximately 2,000,000 Afghan 
        refugees in Pakistan, 1,500,000 in Iran, and 1,000,000 
        internally displaced persons in Afghanistan at risk of disease 
        and malnutrition, the largest such group in the world.
            (4) The Taliban have implemented a brutal and repressive 
        regime, particularly with respect to the rights of women and 
        their participation in Afghan society. Under Taliban rule, 
        women have been denied access to work, healthcare, and have 
        been prevented from adequately providing for their children. 
        Women have been segregated from society and virtually 
        imprisoned in their own homes under the Taliban's manipulation 
        of Islamic law.
            (5) Under Taliban rule, Afghanistan has become a training 
        ground, operational base, and safe haven for terrorists and 
        international terrorist organizations as well as the world's 
        largest source of illegal opium, the proceeds from the sale of 
        which the Taliban use to finance their war on the Afghan 
        people.
            (6) Since 1996, the Taliban have harbored Osama bin Laden 
        whom the United Nations has demanded that they surrender in 
        United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267 (1999). As a 
        result of their failure to do so, the United Nations Security 
        Council has imposed progressively more comprehensive sanctions 
        on the Taliban under Resolutions 1267 (1999), 1333 (2000), and 
        1363 (2001), which sanctions are binding on all members of the 
        United Nations under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United 
        Nations.
            (7) The failure of the Taliban to comply with the demands 
        of the United States and the United Nations Security Council 
        allowed Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda network to orchestrate 
        from Afghanistan the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, 
        on the United States in which thousands of Americans and 
        foreign nationals were murdered.
            (8) After the expulsion or elimination of foreign terrorist 
        organizations from the territory of Afghanistan and the 
        cessation of hostilities, the United States bears a 
        responsibility to help create a stable political, economic, and 
        social environment in Afghanistan. The most effective and 
        efficient way to promote stability and prevent a return to 
        lawlessness and warfare in post-Taliban Afghanistan is support 
        for a broad-based, multiethnic, gender-sensitive, fully 
        representative government, civil society organizations, and the 
        speedy restoration of basic services.
            (9)(A) The President of the United States in his radio 
        address to the Nation on October 6, 2001, urged Congress to 
        make funds available to the reconstruction and development of 
        Afghanistan, recognizing that assisting people in this fashion 
        ``is also a central part of the American tradition'', stated 
        that ``[e]ven as we fight evil regimes we are generous to the 
        people they oppress'', and further stated that ``[f]ollowing 
        World War II, America fed and rebuilt Japan and Germany, and 
        their people became some of our closest friends in the world''.
            (B) The President of the United States in his speech before 
        the United Nations on November 10, 2001, stated that ``[t]he 
        United States will work closely with the United Nations and the 
        [multilateral] development banks to reconstruct Afghanistan''.
            (10) United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan in a 
        speech in Washington, D.C., on November 28, 2001--
                    (A) declared that ``the solution to the Afghan 
                crisis ultimately must come from the women and men of 
                Afghanistan itself'';
                    (B) reaffirmed the commitment of the international 
                community to ``ensuring that an end is put to the long 
                nightmare of women's repression in Afghanistan'' and 
                urged ``the parties to bring Afghan women into every 
                stage of the political process''; and
                    (C) stated that ``in Afghanistan today human rights 
                means, above all, women's rights''.
            (11) As a result of the changing situation in Afghanistan, 
        the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1378, 
        calling on member states to support a transitional 
        administration in Afghanistan, provide urgent humanitarian 
        assistance to the people of Afghanistan, and furnish long-term 
        assistance for the social and economic reconstruction and 
        rehabilitation of Afghanistan.
            (12) On December 5, 2001, in Bonn, Germany, representatives 
        of the Afghan people agreed to a framework for the 
        reestablishment of a government that is broad-based, 
        multiethnic, gender-sensitive, and fully representative of the 
        Afghan people.
            (13) In order to best meet its responsibility, the United 
        States must--
                    (A) contribute to these objectives both directly 
                and indirectly;
                    (B) build a coalition of like-minded countries, 
                with the strong participation of international 
                organizations, to achieve this goal; and
                    (C) establish the principle of noninterference in 
                the domestic affairs of Afghanistan by neighboring 
                states and other countries in the region.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to promote the removal from power of the Taliban regime 
        in Afghanistan;
            (2) to support a diplomatic framework for the relief, 
        rehabilitation, and reconstruction of Afghanistan;
            (3) to authorize immediate and sustained humanitarian 
        assistance to avert a humanitarian catastrophe in Afghanistan 
        and among Afghan refugees in neighboring countries;
            (4) to authorize assistance to help achieve a broad-based, 
        multiethnic, gender-sensitive, fully representative government 
        freely chosen by the Afghan people that respects the human 
        rights of all Afghans, particularly women, including 
        authorizing assistance for the rehabilitation and 
        reconstruction of Afghanistan with a particular emphasis on 
        meeting the educational, health, and sustenance needs of women 
        and children to better enable their full participation in 
        Afghan society; and
            (5) to otherwise promote a secure environment in 
        Afghanistan that will prevent the resurgence of foreign 
        terrorist organizations within the territory of Afghanistan.

SEC. 3. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) United States Policy Toward Taliban Regime.--It should be the 
policy of the United States to promote the removal from power of the 
Taliban regime in Afghanistan so as to diminish the risk of future 
terrorist attacks on the United States and restore basic human freedoms 
to the people of Afghanistan.
    (b) Diplomatic Framework for the Promotion of a Free and 
Independent Afghanistan.--It should be the policy of the United 
States--
            (1) to support the convening of a traditional Afghan 
        assembly (commonly referred to as a ``Loya Jirga'') in order to 
        facilitate Afghanistan's transition from civil war to a broad-
        based, multiethnic, gender-sensitive, fully representative 
        government freely chosen by the Afghan people, help lay the 
        groundwork for Afghanistan's reconstruction and economic 
        recovery, and strengthen Afghanistan's security;
            (2) to maintain a significant United States commitment to 
        the relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of Afghanistan 
        as part of a larger regional policy framework, paying 
        particular attention to the education and health care needs of 
        the Afghan people, especially the needs of women and children;
            (3) to support the objectives agreed to on December 5, 
        2001, in Bonn, Germany, and work toward ensuring the future 
        neutrality of Afghanistan, establishing the principle that 
        neighboring countries and other countries in the region do not 
        threaten or interfere in one another's sovereignty, territorial 
        integrity, or political independence, and supporting a 
        ``Friends of Afghanistan'' group to coordinate a sustained 
        international effort to reconstruct Afghanistan;
            (4) to work with the United Nations and the international 
        community in the disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration 
        of combatants into Afghan society and in demining the Afghan 
        countryside as well as programs to rehabilitate and assist mine 
        victims, war orphans, and widows;
            (5) to support bilateral and regional economic agreements 
        and other measures to foster greater economic opportunity for 
        the citizens of Afghanistan and the region generally;
            (6) to promptly recognize a new broad-based, multiethnic, 
        gender-sensitive, fully representative government in 
        Afghanistan; and
            (7) in order to ensure near-term security of the people of 
        Afghanistan, to support the establishment of a multinational 
        security force in Afghanistan.

for allocating $320,000,000 in humanitarian assistance to the people of

        and relief assistance, with special emphasis on the needs of 
        women and children;
            (2) to provide relief, rehabilitation, and recovery 
        assistance to promote self-reliance; and
            (3) to assure that relief is provided on the basis of need

SEC. 6. SUPPORT FOR SECURITY DURING TRANSITION IN AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, during 
the transition to a broad-based, multiethnic, gender-sensitive, fully 
representative government in Afghanistan, the United States should 
support, a multinational security force, primarily composed of forces 
from moderate Islamic countries that do not border Afghanistan, to 
ensure security in the major cities of Afghanistan and, to the extent 
feasible, to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance 
throughout the country.
    (b) Assistance for Multinational Security Force.--
            (1) In general.--The President is authorized to provide 
        assistance for the establishment and expenses of a 
        multinational security force in Afghanistan.
            (2) Authorization of appropriations.--There are authorized 
        to be appropriated to carry out paragraph (1) $100,000,000 for 
        fiscal year 2002 and $50,000,000 for fiscal year 2003.
    (c) Support for Civil Administration and Advisers To Help 
Reconstitute Afghanistan.--
            (1) Statement of policy.--It should be the policy of the 
        United States to encourage a broad-based, multiethnic, gender-
        sensitive, fully representative government in Afghanistan 
        freely chosen by the Afghan people composed of Afghans, 
        including Afghans returning from abroad, while, in the 
        transition, supporting an interim or transitional authority 
        with the participation, as may be necessary, of civil advisers 
        from the United Nations or from appropriate countries in an 
        interim government.
            (2) Authorization of appropriations.--There are authorized 
        to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to support 
        civil advisers to an interim or transitional authority for 
        Afghanistan that fully represents all major ethnic groups in 
        Afghanistan.

SEC. 7. REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) Targeting Assistance To Aid the Poor Majority.--It is the sense 
of Congress that United States development assistance for Afghanistan 
should be targeted to aid the poor majority of the people of 
Afghanistan (particularly refugees, women, and the urban and rural 
poor) to the maximum extent practicable. The United States Government 
should seek to--
            (1) build upon the capabilities and experiences of United 
        States, international, and indigenous private and voluntary 
        organizations active in local grassroots rehabilitation, 
        reconstruction, and development efforts; and
            (2) consult closely with the appropriate Afghan government 
        and civil society representatives as well as other governments 
        and international organizations participating in rehabilitation 
        and reconstruction efforts and significantly incorporate their 
        views into the policymaking process.
    (b) Assistance for Women and Girls.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                    (A) Taliban restrictions on women's participation 
                in society in Afghanistan have made it nearly 
                impossible for women to exercise their basic human 
                rights. The Taliban restrictions on Afghan women's 
                freedom of expression, association, and movement deny 
                women full participation in society and, consequently, 
                from effectively securing basic access to work, 
                education, and health care.

                for their children contributing to one of the highest
