TITLE I--ECONOMIC AND DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FOR AFGHANISTAN

SEC. 101. DECLARATION OF POLICY.

    Congress makes the following declarations:
            (1) The United States and the international community 
        should support efforts that advance the development of 
        democratic civil authorities and institutions in Afghanistan 
        and the establishment of a new broad-based, multi-ethnic, 
        gender-sensitive, and fully representative government in 
        Afghanistan.
            (2) The United States, in particular, should provide its 
        expertise to meet immediate humanitarian and refugee needs, 
        fight the production and flow of illicit narcotics, and aid in 
        the reconstruction of Afghanistan's agriculture, health care, 
        civil service, financial, and educational systems.
            (3) By promoting peace and security in Afghanistan and 
        preventing a return to conflict, the United States and the 
        international community can help ensure that Afghanistan does 
        not again become a source for international terrorism.
            (4) The United States should support the objectives agreed 
        to on December 5, 2001, in Bonn, Germany, regarding the 
        provisional arrangement for Afghanistan as it moves toward the 
        establishment of permanent institutions and, in particular, 
        should work intensively 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, including supporting diplomatic 
        initiatives to support this goal.
            (5) The special emergency situation in Afghanistan, which 
        from the perspective of the American people combines security, 
        humanitarian, political, law enforcement, and development 
        imperatives, requires that the President should receive maximum 
        flexibility in designing, coordinating, and administering 
        efforts with respect to assistance for Afghanistan and that a 
        temporary special program of such assistance should be 
        established for this purpose.
            (6) To foster stability and democratization and to 
        effectively eliminate the causes of terrorism, the United 
        States and the international community should also support 
        efforts that advance the development of democratic civil 
        authorities and institutions in the broader Central Asia 
        region.

SEC. 102. PURPOSES OF ASSISTANCE.

    The purposes of assistance authorized by this title are--
            (1) to help assure the security of the United States and 
        the world by reducing or eliminating the likelihood of violence 
        against United States or allied forces in Afghanistan and to 
        reduce the chance that Afghanistan will again be a source of 
international terrorism;
            (2) to support the continued efforts of the United States 
        and the international community to address the humanitarian 
        crisis in Afghanistan and among Afghan refugees in neighboring 
        countries;
            (3) to fight the production and flow of illicit narcotics, 
        to control the flow of precursor chemicals used in the 
        production of heroin, and to enhance and bolster the capacities 
        of Afghan governmental authorities to control poppy cultivation 
        and related activities;
            (4) to help achieve a broad-based, multi-ethnic, gender-
        sensitive, and fully representative government in Afghanistan 
        that is freely chosen by the people of Afghanistan and 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;
            (5) to support the Government of Afghanistan in its 
        development of the capacity to facilitate, organize, develop, 
        and implement projects and activities that meet the needs of 
        the Afghan people;
            (6) to foster the participation of civil society in the 
        establishment of the new Afghan government in order to achieve 
        a broad-based, multiethnic, gender-sensitive, fully 
        representative government freely chosen by the Afghan people, 
        without prejudice to any decisions which may be freely taken by 
        the Afghan people about the precise form in which their 
        government is to be organized in the future;
            (7) to support the reconstruction of Afghanistan through, 
        among other things, programs that create jobs, facilitate 
        clearance of landmines, and rebuild the agriculture sector, the 
        health care system, and the educational system of Afghanistan; 
        and
            (8) to include specific resources to the Ministry for 
        Women's Affairs of Afghanistan to carry out its 
        responsibilities for legal advocacy, education, vocational 
        training, and women's health programs.

SEC. 103. PRINCIPLES OF ASSISTANCE.

    The following principles should guide the provision of assistance 
authorized by this title:
            (1) Terrorism and narcotics control.--Assistance should be 
        designed to reduce the likelihood of harm to United States and 
        other allied forces in Afghanistan and the region, the 
        likelihood of additional acts of international terrorism 
        emanating from Afghanistan, and the cultivation, production, 
        trafficking, and use of illicit narcotics in Afghanistan.
            (2) Role of women.--Assistance should increase the 
        participation of women at the national, regional, and local 
        levels in Afghanistan, wherever feasible, by enhancing the role 
        of women in decisionmaking processes, as well as by providing 
        support for programs that aim to expand economic and 
        educational opportunities and health programs for women and 
        educational and health programs for girls.
            (3) Afghan ownership.--Assistance should build upon Afghan 
        traditions and practices. The strong tradition of community 
        responsibility and self-reliance in Afghanistan should be built 
        upon to increase the capacity of the Afghan people and 
        institutions to participate in the reconstruction of 
        Afghanistan.
            (4) Stability.--Assistance should encourage the restoration 
        of security in Afghanistan, including, among other things, the 
        disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of combatants, 
        and the establishment of the rule of law, including the 
        establishment of a police force and an effective, independent 
        judiciary.
            (5) Coordination.--Assistance should be part of a larger 
        donor effort for Afghanistan. The magnitude of the 
        devastation--natural and man-made--to institutions and 
        infrastructure make it imperative that there be close 
        coordination and collaboration among donors. The United States 
        should endeavor to assert its leadership to have the efforts of 
        international donors help achieve the purposes established by 
        this title.

            (1) In general.--There are authorized to be appropriated to

              ORGANIZATIONS.

SEC. 206. PROMOTING SECURE DELIVERY OF HUMANITARIAN AND OTHER 
              ASSISTANCE IN AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The President has declared his view that the United 
        States should provide significant assistance to Afghanistan so 
        that it never again becomes a haven for terrorism.
            (2) The delivery of humanitarian and reconstruction 
        assistance from the international community is necessary for 
        the safe return of refugees and is critical to the future 
        stability of Afghanistan.
            (3) Enhanced stability in Afghanistan through an improved 
        security environment is critical to the fostering of the Afghan 
        Interim Authority and the traditional Afghan assembly or ``Loya 
        Jirga'' process, which is intended to lead to a permanent 
        national government in Afghanistan, and also is essential for 
        the participation of women in Afghan society.
            (4) Incidents of violence between armed factions and local 
        and regional commanders, and serious abuses of human rights, 
including attacks on women and ethnic minorities throughout 
Afghanistan, create an insecure, volatile, and unsafe environment in 
parts of Afghanistan, displacing thousands of Afghan civilians from 
their local communities.
            (5) The violence and lawlessness may jeopardize the ``Loya 
        Jirga'' process, undermine efforts to build a strong central 
        government, severely impede reconstruction and the delivery of 
        humanitarian assistance, and increase the likelihood that parts 
        of Afghanistan will once again become safe havens for al-Qaida, 
        Taliban forces, and drug traffickers.
            (6) The lack of security and lawlessness may also 
        perpetuate the need for United States Armed Forces in 
        Afghanistan and threaten the ability of the United States to 
        meet its military objectives.
            (7) The International Security Assistance Force in 
        Afghanistan, currently led by Turkey, and composed of forces 
        from other willing countries without the participation of 
        United States Armed Forces, is deployed only in Kabul and 
        currently does not have the mandate or the capacity to provide 
        security to other parts of Afghanistan.
            (8) Due to the ongoing military campaign in Afghanistan, 
        the United States does not contribute troops to the 
        International Security Assistance Force but has provided 
        support to other countries that are doing so.
            (9) The United States is providing political, financial, 
        training, and other assistance to the Afghan Interim Authority 
        as it begins to build a national army and police force to help 
        provide security throughout Afghanistan, but this effort is not 
        meeting the immediate security needs of Afghanistan.
            (10) Because of these immediate security needs, the Afghan 
        Interim Authority, its Chairman, Hamid Karzai, and many Afghan 
        regional leaders have called for the International Security 
        Assistance Force, which has successfully brought stability to 
        Kabul, to be expanded and deployed throughout the country, and 
        this request has been strongly supported by a wide range of 
        international humanitarian organizations, including the 
        International Committee of the Red Cross, Catholic Relief 
        Services, and Refugees International.
            (11)(A) On January 29, 2002, the President stated that 
        ``[w]e will help the new Afghan government provide the security 
        that is the foundation of peace''.
            (B) On March 25, 2002, the Secretary of Defense stated, 
        with respect to the reconstruction of Afghanistan, that ``the 
        first thing . . . you need for anything else to happen, for 
        hospitals to happen, for roads to happen, for refugees to come 
        back, for people to be fed and humanitarian workers to move on 
        the country . . . [y]ou've got to have security''.
    (b) Statement of Policy.--It should be the policy of the United 
States to support measures to help meet the immediate security needs of 
Afghanistan in order to promote safe and effective delivery of 
humanitarian and other assistance throughout Afghanistan, further the 
rule of law and civil order, and support the formation of a 
functioning, representative Afghan national government.
    (c) Preparation of Strategy.--Not later than 45 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, and every six months thereafter, the 
President shall transmit to the Committee on International Relations 
and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and 
the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Appropriations 
of the Senate a strategy for meeting the immediate and long-term 
security needs of Afghanistan in order to promote safe and effective 
delivery of humanitarian and other assistance throughout Afghanistan, 
further the rule of law and civil order, and support the formation of a 
functioning, representative Afghan national government.
