SEC. 163. REFORM OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) Covert operations tend to be highly tactical and 
        require close attention. The Central Intelligence Agency should 
        retain responsibility for the direction and execution of 
        clandestine and covert operations. The Central Intelligence 
        Agency should also concentrate on building capabilities to 
        carry out such operations and on providing personnel who will 
        be directing and executing such operations in the field.
            (2) The reconstitution of the analytic and human 
        intelligence collection capabilities of the Central 
        Intelligence Agency requires the undiverted attention of the 
        head of the Central Intelligence Agency.
    (b) Transformation of Central Intelligence Agency.--The Director of 
the Central Intelligence Agency shall transform the intelligence and 
intelligence-related capabilities of the Central Intelligence Agency 
by--
            (1) building the human intelligence capabilities of the 
        clandestine service;
            (2) building the analytic capabilities of the Agency;
            (3) developing a stronger language program;
            (4) renewing emphasis on the recruitment of operations 
        officers of diverse background who can blend in more easily in 
        foreign cities;
            (5) ensuring a seamless relationship between human source 
        collection and signals collection at the operational level; and
            (6) providing for a better balance between unilateral 
        operations and liaison operations.
    (c) Retention of Responsibility for Clandestine and Covert 
Operations.--The Central Intelligence Agency shall retain 
responsibility for the direction and execution of clandestine and 
covert operations as authorized by the President or the National 
Intelligence Director and assigned by a national intelligence center.

SEC. 164. PARAMILITARY OPERATIONS.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) Prior to September 11, 2001, the Central Intelligence 
        Agency relied on proxies to conduct paramilitary operations, 
        with unsatisfactory results.
            (2) The United States cannot afford to build two separate 
        capabilities for carrying out paramilitary operations, and 
        therefore should concentrate responsibility and necessary legal 
        authority for such operations in one entity.
            (3) In conducting future paramilitary operations, Central 
        Intelligence Agency experts should be integrated into military 
        training, exercises, and planning, and lead responsibility for 
        directing and executing paramilitary operations should rest 
        with the Department of Defense.
    (b) Sense of Congress on Lead Responsibility for Paramilitary 
Operations.--The Secretary of Defense should have lead responsibility 
for directing and executing paramilitary operations, whether 
clandestine or covert.
    (c) Sense of Congress on Discharge Through Special Operations 
Command.--In carrying out the responsibility under subsection (b) the 
Secretary of Defense should--
            (1) assign the Special Operations Command lead 
        responsibility within the Department of Defense for 
        paramilitary operations; and
            (2) consolidate responsibility for such operations with the 
        capabilities for training, direction, and execution of such 
        operations.
    (d) Sense of Congress on Joint Planning.--The Secretary of Defense 
and the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency should work jointly 
to plan paramilitary operations.
    (e) Paramilitary Operations Defined.--In this section, the term 
``paramilitary operations'' means operations that, by their tactics and 
requirements in military-type personnel, equipment, and training, 
approximate conventional military operations, but that are 
distinguished from conventional military operations through reliance on 
light infantry, less capability to carry out sustained combat 
operations involving heavy weapons and less capability of sustaining 
long-term logistical support.

SEC. 165. IMPROVEMENT OF INTELLIGENCE CAPABILITIES OF THE FEDERAL 
              BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) The Federal Bureau of Investigation has made 
        significant progress in improving its intelligence 
        capabilities.
            (2) The Federal Bureau of Investigation must fully 
        institutionalize the shift of the Bureau to a preventive 
        counterterrorism posture.
    (b) Improvement of Intelligence Capabilities.--The Director of the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation shall continue efforts to improve the

SEC. 201. INFORMATION SHARING.

    (a) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Network.--The term ``Network'' means the Information 
        Sharing Network described in subsection (c).
            (2) Terrorism information.--The term ``terrorism 
        information'' means all information, whether collected, 
        produced, or distributed by intelligence, law enforcement, 
        military, homeland security, or other activities, relating to--
                    (A) the existence, organization, capabilities, 
                plans, intentions, vulnerabilities, means of finance or 
                material support, or activities of foreign or 
                international terrorist groups or individuals, or of 
                domestic groups or individuals involved in 
                transnational terrorism;
                    (B) threats posed by such groups or individuals to 
                the United States, United States persons, or United 
                States interests, or to those of other nations;
                    (C) communications of or by such groups or 
                individuals; or
                    (D) information relating to groups or individuals 
                reasonably believed to be assisting or associated with 
                such groups or individuals.
    (b) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) The effective use of information, from all available 
        sources, is essential to the fight against terror and the 
        protection of our homeland. The biggest impediment to all-
        source analysis, and to a greater likelihood of ``connecting 
        the dots'', is resistance to sharing information.
            (2) The United States Government has access to a vast 
        amount of information, including not only traditional 
        intelligence but also other government databases, such as those 
        containing customs or immigration information. But the United 
        States Government has a weak system for processing and using 
        the information it has.
            (3) In the period leading up to September 11, 2001, there 
        were instances of potentially helpful information that was 
        available but that no person knew to ask for; information that 
        was distributed only in compartmented channels; and information 
        that was requested but could not be shared.
            (4) Current security requirements nurture 
        overclassification and excessive compartmentalization of 
        information among agencies. Each agency's incentive structure 
        opposes sharing, with risks, including criminal, civil, and 
        administrative sanctions, but few rewards for sharing 
        information.
            (5) The current system, in which each intelligence agency 
        has its own security practices, requires a demonstrated ``need 
        to know'' before sharing. This approach assumes that it is 
        possible to know, in advance, who will need to use the 
        information. An outgrowth of the cold war, such a system 
        implicitly assumes that the risk of inadvertent disclosure 
        outweighs the benefits of wider sharing. Such assumptions are 
        no longer appropriate. Although counterintelligence concerns 
        are still real, the costs of not sharing information are also 
        substantial. The current ``need-to-know'' culture of 
        information protection needs to be replaced with a ``need-to-
        share'' culture of integration.
            (6) A new approach to the sharing of terrorism information 
        is urgently needed. An important conceptual model for a new 
        ``trusted information network'' is the Systemwide Homeland 
        Analysis and Resource Exchange (SHARE) Network proposed by a 
        task force of leading professionals assembled by the Markle 
        Foundation and described in reports issued in October 2002 and 
        December 2003.
            (7) No single agency can create a meaningful information 
        sharing system on its own. Alone, each agency can only 
        modernize stovepipes, not replace them. Presidential leadership 
        is required to bring about governmentwide change.
    (c) Information Sharing Network.--
            (1) Establishment.--The President shall establish an 
        information sharing network to promote the sharing of terrorism 
        information, in a manner consistent with national security and 
        the protection of privacy and civil liberties.
            (2) Attributes.--The Network shall promote coordination, 
        communication and collaboration of people and information among 
        all relevant Federal departments and agencies, State, tribal, 
        and local authorities, and relevant private sector entities, 
        including owners and operators of critical infrastructure, by 
        using policy guidelines and technologies that support--
                    (A) a decentralized, distributed, and coordinated 
                environment that connects existing systems where 
                appropriate and allows users to share information 
                horizontally across agencies, vertically between levels 
                of government, and, as appropriate, with the private 
                sector;
                    (B) building on existing systems capabilities at 
                relevant agencies;
                    (C) utilizing industry best practices, including 
                minimizing the centralization of data and seeking to 
                use common tools and capabilities whenever possible;
                    (D) employing an information rights management 
                approach that controls access to data rather than to 
                whole networks;
                    (E) facilitating the sharing of information at and 
                across all levels of security by using policy 
                guidelines and technologies that support writing 
                information that can be broadly shared;
                    (F) providing directory services for locating 
                people and information;
                    (G) incorporating protections for individuals' 
                privacy and civil liberties;
                    (H) incorporating mechanisms for information 
                security; and
                    (I) access controls, authentication and 
                authorization, audits, and other strong mechanisms for 
                information security and privacy guideline enforcement 
                across all levels of security, in order to enhance 
                accountability and facilitate oversight.
    (d) Immediate Steps.--Not later than 90 days after the date of

                    TITLE III--CONGRESSIONAL REFORM

SEC. 301. FINDINGS.

    Consistent with the report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The American people are not served well by current 
        congressional rules and resolutions governing intelligence and 
        homeland security oversight.
            (2) A unified Executive Branch effort on fighting terrorism 
        will not be effective unless it is matched by a unified effort 
        in Congress, specifically a strong, stable, and capable 
        congressional committee structure to give the intelligence 
        agencies and Department of Homeland Security sound oversight, 
        support, and leadership.
            (3) The intelligence committees of the Senate and the House 
        of Representatives are not organized to provide strong 
        leadership and oversight for intelligence and counterterrorism.
            (4) Jurisdiction over the Department of Homeland Security, 
        which is scattered among many committees in each chamber, does 
        not allow for the clear authority and responsibility needed for 
        effective congressional oversight.
            (5) Congress should either create a new, joint Senate-House 
        intelligence authorizing committee modeled on the former Joint 
        Committee on Atomic Energy, or establish new intelligence 
        committees in each chamber with combined authorization and 
        appropriations authority.
            (6) Congress should establish a single, principal point of 
        oversight and review in each chamber for the Department of 
        Homeland Security and the report of the National Commission on 
        Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States stated that 
        ``Congressional leaders are best able to judge what committee 
        should have jurisdiction over this department and its 
        duties.''.
            (7) In August 2004, the joint Senate leadership created a 
        bipartisan working group to examine how best to implement the 
        Commission's recommendations with respect to reform of the 
        Senate's oversight of intelligence and homeland security, and 
        directed the working group to begin its work immediately and to 
        present its findings and recommendations to Senate leadership 
        as expeditiously as possible.

SEC. 302. REORGANIZATION OF CONGRESSIONAL JURISDICTION.

    The 108th Congress shall not adjourn until each House of Congress 
has adopted the necessary changes to its rules such that, effective the 
start of the 109th Congress--
            (1) jurisdiction over proposed legislation, messages, 
        petitions, memorials, and other matters relating to the 
        Department of Homeland Security shall be consolidated in a 
        single committee in each House and such committee shall have a 
        nonpartisan staff; and
            (2) jurisdiction over proposed legislation, messages,

 TITLE V--THE ROLE OF DIPLOMACY, FOREIGN AID, AND THE MILITARY IN THE 
                            WAR ON TERRORISM

SEC. 501. REPORT ON TERRORIST SANCTUARIES.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) Complex terrorist operations require locations that 
        provide such operations sanctuary from interference by 
        government or law enforcement personnel.
            (2) A terrorist sanctuary existed in Afghanistan before 
        September 11, 2001.
            (3) The terrorist sanctuary in Afghanistan provided direct 
        and indirect value to members of al Qaeda who participated in 
        the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 
        2001 and in other terrorist operations.
            (4) Terrorist organizations have fled to some of the least 
        governed and most lawless places in the world to find 
        sanctuary.
            (5) During the twenty-first century, terrorists are 
        focusing on remote regions and failing states as locations to 
        seek sanctuary.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States Government should identify and 
        prioritize locations that are or that could be used as 
        terrorist sanctuaries;
            (2) the United States Government should have a realistic 
        strategy that includes the use of all elements of national 
        power to keep possible terrorists from using a location as a 
        sanctuary; and
            (3) the United States Government should reach out, listen 
        to, and work with countries in bilateral and multilateral fora 
        to prevent locations from becoming sanctuaries and to prevent 
        terrorists from using locations as sanctuaries.
    (c) Strategy on Terrorist Sanctuaries.--
            (1) Report required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
        date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit 
        to Congress a report that describes a strategy for addressing 
        and, where possible, eliminating terrorist sanctuaries.
            (2) Content.--The report required under this section shall 
        include the following:
                    (A) A description of actual and potential terrorist 
                sanctuaries, together with an assessment of the 
                priorities of addressing and eliminating such 
                sanctuaries.
                    (B) An outline of strategies for disrupting or 
                eliminating the security provided to terrorists by such 
                sanctuaries.
                    (C) A description of efforts by the United States 
                Government to work with other countries in bilateral 
                and multilateral fora to address or eliminate actual or 
                potential terrorist sanctuaries and disrupt or 
                eliminate the security provided to terrorists by such 
                sanctuaries.
                    (D) A description of long-term goals and actions 
                designed to reduce the conditions that allow the 
                formation of terrorist sanctuaries, such as supporting 
                and strengthening host governments, reducing poverty, 
                increasing economic development, strengthening civil 
                society, securing borders, strengthening internal 
                security forces, and disrupting logistics and 
                communications networks of terrorist groups.

SEC. 502. ROLE OF PAKISTAN IN COUNTERING TERRORISM.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) The Government of Pakistan has a critical role to 
        perform in the struggle against Islamist terrorism.
            (2) The endemic poverty, widespread corruption, and 
        frequent ineffectiveness of government in Pakistan create 
        opportunities for Islamist recruitment.
            (3) The poor quality of education in Pakistan is 
        particularly worrying, as millions of families send their 
        children to madrassahs, some of which have been used as 
        incubators for violent extremism.
            (4) The vast unpoliced regions in Pakistan make the country 
        attractive to extremists seeking refuge and recruits and also 
        provide a base for operations against coalition forces in 
        Afghanistan.
            (5) A stable Pakistan, with a government advocating 
        ``enlightened moderation'' in the Muslim world, is critical to 
        stability in the region.
            (6) There is a widespread belief among the people of 
        Pakistan that the United States has long treated them as allies 
        of convenience.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States should make a long-term commitment to 
        assisting in ensuring a promising, stable, and secure future in 
        Pakistan, as long as its leaders remain committed to combatting 
        extremists and implementing a strategy of ``enlightened 
        moderation'';
            (2) the United States aid to Pakistan should be fulsome 
        and, at a minimum, sustained at the fiscal year 2004 levels;
            (3) the United States should support the Government of 
        Pakistan with a comprehensive effort that extends from military 
        aid to support for better education; and
            (4) the United States Government should devote particular 
        attention and resources to assisting in the improvement of the 
        quality of education in Pakistan.
    (c) Report on Support for Pakistan.--
            (1) Report required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
        date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit 
        to Congress a report on the efforts of the United States 
        Government to support Pakistan and encourage moderation in that 
        country.
            (2) Content.--The report required under this section shall 
        include the following:
                    (A) An examination of the desirability of 
                establishing a Pakistan Education Fund to direct 
                resources toward improving the quality of secondary 
                schools in Pakistan.
                    (B) Recommendations on the funding necessary to 
                provide various levels of educational support.
                    (C) An examination of the current composition and 
                levels of United States military aid to Pakistan, 
                together with any recommendations for changes in such 
                levels and composition that the President considers 
                appropriate.
                    (D) An examination of other major types of United 
                States financial support to Pakistan, together with any 
                recommendations for changes in the levels and 
                composition of such support that the President 
                considers appropriate.

SEC. 503. AID TO AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) The United States and its allies in the international 
        community have made progress in promoting economic and 
        political reform within Afghanistan, including the 
        establishment of a central government with a democratic 
        constitution, a new currency, and a new army, the increase of 
        personal freedom, and the elevation of the standard of living 
        of many Afghans.
            (2) A number of significant obstacles must be overcome if 
        Afghanistan is to become a secure and prosperous democracy, and 
        such a transition depends in particular upon--
                    (A) improving security throughout the country;
                    (B) disarming and demobilizing militias;
                    (C) curtailing the rule of the warlords;
                    (D) promoting equitable economic development;
                    (E) protecting the human rights of the people of 
                Afghanistan;
                    (F) holding elections for public office; and
                    (G) ending the cultivation and trafficking of 
                narcotics.
            (3) The United States and the international community must 
        make a long-term commitment to addressing the deteriorating 
        security situation in Afghanistan and the burgeoning narcotics 
        trade, endemic poverty, and other serious problems in 
        Afghanistan in order to prevent that country from relapsing 
        into a sanctuary for international terrorism.
    (b) Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States to take 
the following actions with respect to Afghanistan:
            (1) Working with other nations to obtain long-term 
        security, political, and financial commitments and fulfillment 
        of pledges to the Government of Afghanistan to accomplish the 
        objectives of the Afghanistan Freedom Support Act of 2002 (22 
        U.S.C. 7501 et seq.), especially to ensure a secure, 
        democratic, and prosperous Afghanistan that respects the rights 
        of its citizens and is free of international terrorist 
        organizations.
            (2) Using the voice and vote of the United States in 
        relevant international organizations, including the North 
        Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United Nations Security 
        Council, to strengthen international commitments to assist the 
        Government of Afghanistan in enhancing security, building 
        national police and military forces, increasing counter-
        narcotics efforts, and expanding infrastructure and public 
        services throughout the country.
            (3) Taking appropriate steps to increase the assistance 
        provided under programs of the Department of State and the 
        United States Agency for International Development throughout 
        Afghanistan and to increase the number of personnel of those 
        agencies in Afghanistan as necessary to support the increased 
        assistance.

SEC. 504. THE UNITED STATES-SAUDI ARABIA RELATIONSHIP.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) Despite a long history of friendly relations with the 
        United States, Saudi Arabia has been a problematic ally in 
        combating Islamic extremism.
            (2) Cooperation between the Governments of the United 
        States and Saudi Arabia has traditionally been carried out in 
        private.
            (3) The Government of Saudi Arabia has not always responded 
        promptly and fully to United States requests for assistance in 
        the global war on Islamist terrorism.
            (4) Counterterrorism cooperation between the Governments of 
        the United States and Saudi Arabia has improved significantly 
        since the terrorist bombing attacks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 
        May 12, 2003.
            (5) The Government of Saudi Arabia is now aggressively 
        pursuing al Qaeda and appears to be acting to build a domestic 
        consensus for some internal reforms.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the problems in the relationship between the United 
        States and Saudi Arabia must be confronted openly, and the 
        opportunities for cooperation between the countries must be 
        pursued openly by those governments;
            (2) both governments must build a relationship that they 
        can publicly defend and that is based on other national 
        interests in addition to their national interests in oil;
            (3) this relationship should include a shared commitment to 
        political and economic reform in Saudi Arabia; and
            (4) this relationship should also include a shared interest 
        in greater tolerance and respect for other cultures in Saudi 
        Arabia and a commitment to fight the violent extremists who 
        foment hatred in the Middle East.
    (c) Report.--
            (1) Report required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
        date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit 
        to Congress a strategy for expanding collaboration with the 
        Government of Saudi Arabia on subjects of mutual interest and 
        of importance to the United States.
            (2) Scope.--As part of this strategy, the President shall 
        consider the utility of undertaking a periodic, formal, and 
        visible high-level dialogue between senior United States 
        Government officials of cabinet level or higher rank and their 
        counterparts in the Government of Saudi Arabia to address 
        challenges in the relationship between the 2 governments and to 
        identify areas and mechanisms for cooperation.
            (3) Content.--The strategy under this subsection shall 
        encompass--
                    (A) intelligence and security cooperation in the 
                fight against Islamist terrorism;
                    (B) ways to advance the Middle East peace process;
                    (C) political and economic reform in Saudi Arabia 
                and throughout the Middle East; and
                    (D) the promotion of greater tolerance and respect 
                for cultural and religious diversity in Saudi Arabia 
                and throughout the Middle East.

SEC. 505. EFFORTS TO COMBAT ISLAMIC TERRORISM BY ENGAGING IN THE 
              STRUGGLE OF IDEAS IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) While support for the United States has plummeted in 
        the Islamic world, many negative views are uninformed, at best, 
        and, at worst, are informed by coarse stereotypes and 
        caricatures.
            (2) Local newspapers in Islamic countries and influential 
        broadcasters who reach Islamic audiences through satellite 
        television often reinforce the idea that the people and 
        Government of the United States are anti-Muslim.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Government of the United States should offer an 
        example of moral leadership in the world that includes a 
        commitment to treat all people humanely, abide by the rule of 
        law, and be generous and caring to the people and governments 
        of other countries;
            (2) the United States should cooperate with governments of 
        Islamic countries to foster agreement on respect for human 
        dignity and opportunity, and to offer a vision of a better 
        future that includes stressing life over death, individual 
        educational and economic opportunity, widespread political 
        participation, contempt for indiscriminate violence, respect 
        for the rule of law, openness in discussing differences, and 
        tolerance for opposing points of view;
            (3) the United States should encourage reform, freedom, 
        democracy, and opportunity for Arabs and Muslims and promote 
        moderation in the Islamic world; and
            (4) the United States should work to defeat extremist 
        ideology in the Islamic world by providing assistance to 
        moderate Arabs and Muslims to combat extremist ideas.
    (c) Report on the Struggle of Ideas in the Islamic World.--
            (1) Report required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
        date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit 
        to Congress a report that contains a cohesive long-term 
        strategy for the United States Government to help win the 
        struggle of ideas in the Islamic world.
            (2) Content.--The report required under this section shall 
        include the following:
                    (A) A description of specific goals related to 
                winning this struggle of ideas.
                    (B) A description of the range of tools available 
                to the United States Government to accomplish these 
                goals and the manner in which such tools will be 
                employed.
                    (C) A list of benchmarks for measuring success and 
                a plan for linking resources to the accomplishment of 
                these goals.
                    (D) A description of any additional resources that 
                may be necessary to help win this struggle of ideas.
                    (E) Any recommendations for the creation of, and 
                United States participation in, international 
                institutions for the promotion of democracy and 
                economic diversification in the Islamic world, and 
                intra-regional trade in the Middle East.
                    (F) An estimate of the level of United States 
                financial assistance that would be sufficient to 
                convince United States allies and people in the Islamic 
                world that engaging in the struggle of ideas in the 
                Islamic world is a top priority of the United States 
                and that the United States intends to make a 
                substantial and sustained commitment toward winning 
                this struggle.

SEC. 506. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD DICTATORSHIPS.

    (a) Finding.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress finds that short-
term gains enjoyed by the United States through cooperation with the 
world's most repressive and brutal governments are too often outweighed 
by long-term setbacks for the stature and interests of the United 
States.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) United States foreign policy should promote the value 
        of life and the importance of individual educational and 
        economic opportunity, encourage widespread political 
        participation, condemn indiscriminate violence, and promote 
        respect for the rule of law, openness in discussing differences 
        among people, and tolerance for opposing points of view; and
            (2) the United States Government must prevail upon the 
        governments of all predominantly Muslim countries, including 
        those that are friends and allies of the United States, to 
        condemn indiscriminate violence, promote the value of life, 
        respect and promote the principles of individual education and 
        economic opportunity, encourage widespread political 
        participation, and promote the rule of law, openness in 
        discussing differences among people, and tolerance for opposing 
        points of view.

SEC. 507. PROMOTION OF UNITED STATES VALUES THROUGH BROADCAST MEDIA.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) Although the United States has demonstrated and 
        promoted its values in defending Muslims against tyrants and 
        criminals in Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq, 
        this message is not always clearly presented in the Islamic 
        world.
            (2) If the United States does not act to vigorously define 
        its message in the Islamic world, the image of the United 
        States will be defined by Islamic extremists who seek to 
        demonize the United States.
            (3) Recognizing that many Arab and Muslim audiences rely on 
        satellite television and radio, the United States Government 
        has launched promising initiatives in television and radio 
        broadcasting to the Arab world, Iran, and Afghanistan.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States must do more to defend and promote 
        its values and ideals to the broadest possible audience in the 
        Islamic world;
            (2) United States efforts to defend and promote these 
        values and ideals are beginning to ensure that accurate 
        expressions of these values reach large audiences in the 
        Islamic world and should be robustly supported;
            (3) the United States Government could and should do more 
        to engage the Muslim world in the struggle of ideas; and
            (4) the United States Government should more intensively 
        employ existing broadcast media in the Islamic world as part of 
        this engagement.
    (c) Report on Outreach Strategy.--
            (1) Report required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
        date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit 
        to Congress a report on the strategy of the United States 
        Government for expanding its outreach to foreign Muslim 
        audiences through broadcast media.
            (2) Content.--The report shall include the following:
                    (A) The initiatives of the Broadcasting Board of 
                Governors and the public diplomacy activities of the 
                Department of State with respect to outreach to foreign 
                Muslim audiences.
                    (B) An outline of recommended actions that the 
                United States Government should take to more regularly 
                and comprehensively present a United States point of 
                view through indigenous broadcast media in countries 
                with sizable Muslim populations, including increasing 
                appearances by United States Government officials, 
                experts, and citizens.
                    (C) An assessment of potential incentives for, and 
                costs associated with, encouraging United States 
                broadcasters to dub or subtitle into Arabic and other 
                relevant languages their news and public affairs 
                programs broadcast in the Muslim world in order to 
                present those programs to a much broader Muslim 
                audience than is currently reached.
                    (D) Any recommendations the President may have for 
                additional funding and legislation necessary to achieve 
                the objectives of the strategy.
    (d) Authorizations of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be

            (2) Broadcasting capital improvements.--For Broadcasting

                fiscal years 2006 through 2009.

SEC. 509. INTERNATIONAL YOUTH OPPORTUNITY FUND.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) Education that teaches tolerance, the dignity and value 
        of each individual, and respect for different beliefs is a key 
        element in any global strategy to eliminate Islamist terrorism.
            (2) Education in the Middle East about the world outside 
        that region is weak.
            (3) The United Nations has rightly equated literacy with 
        freedom.
            (4) The international community is moving toward setting a 
        concrete goal of reducing by half the illiteracy rate in the 
        Middle East by 2010, through the implementation of education 
        programs targeting women and girls and programs for adult 
        literacy, and by other means.
            (5) To be effective, the effort to improve education in the 
        Middle East must also include--
                    (A) support for the provision of basic education 
                tools, such as textbooks that translate more of the 
                world's knowledge into local languages and local 
                libraries to house such materials; and
                    (B) more vocational education in trades and 
                business skills.
            (6) The Middle East can benefit from some of the same 
        programs to bridge the digital divide that already have been 
        developed for other regions of the world.
    (b) International Youth Opportunity Fund.--
            (1) Establishment.--
                    (A) In general.--The President shall establish an

                    (B) International participation.--The President 
                shall seek the cooperation of the international

                    (A) Determination.--The Secretary of State, in

                through the Fund.
                    (B) Criteria.--In determining whether a country is 
                eligible for assistance, the Secretary shall consider 
                whether the government of that country is sensibly 
                investing financial resources in public education and 
                is committed to promoting a system of education that 
                teaches tolerance, the dignity and value of each 
                individual, and respect for different beliefs.
            (4) Use of funds.--Financial assistance provided through 
        the Fund shall be used for expanding literacy programs, 
        providing textbooks, reducing the digital divide, expanding 
        vocational and business education, constructing and operating

SEC. 510. REPORT ON THE USE OF ECONOMIC POLICIES TO COMBAT TERRORISM.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) While terrorism is not caused by poverty, breeding 
        grounds for terrorism are created by backward economic policies 
        and repressive political regimes.
            (2) Policies that support economic development and reform 
        also have political implications, as economic and political 
        liberties are often linked.
            (3) The United States is working toward creating a Middle 
        East Free Trade Area by 2013 and implementing a free trade 
        agreement with Bahrain, and free trade agreements exist between 
        the United States and Israel and the United States and Jordan.
            (4) Existing and proposed free trade agreements between the 
        United States and Islamic countries are drawing interest from 
        other countries in the Middle East region, and Islamic 
        countries can become full participants in the rules-based 
        global trading system, as the United States considers lowering 
        its barriers to trade with the poorest Arab countries.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) a comprehensive United States strategy to counter 
        terrorism should include economic policies that encourage 
        development, open societies, and opportunities for people to 
        improve the lives of their families and to enhance prospects 
        for their children's future;
            (2) 1 element of such a strategy should encompass the 
        lowering of trade barriers with the poorest countries that have 
        a significant population of Arab or Muslim individuals;
            (3) another element of such a strategy should encompass 
        United States efforts to promote economic reform in countries 
        that have a significant population of Arab or Muslim 
        individuals, including efforts to integrate such countries into 
        the global trading system; and
            (4) given the importance of the rule of law in promoting 
        economic development and attracting investment, the United 
        States should devote an increased proportion of its assistance 
        to countries in the Middle East to the promotion of the rule of 
        law.
    (c) Report.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to 
        Congress a report on the efforts of the United States 
        Government to encourage development and promote economic reform 
        in countries that have a significant population of Arab or 
        Muslim individuals.
            (2) Content.--The report required under this subsection 
        shall describe--
                    (A) efforts to integrate countries with significant 
                populations of Arab or Muslim individuals into the 
                global trading system; and
                    (B) actions that the United States Government, 
                acting alone and in partnership with other governments 
                in the Middle East, can take to promote intra-regional 
                trade and the rule of law in the region.

SEC. 511. MIDDLE EAST PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE.

    (a) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized to be 
appropriated for fiscal year 2005 $200,000,000 for the Middle East 
Partnership Initiative.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, given the 
importance of the rule of law and economic reform to development in the 
Middle East, a significant portion of the funds authorized to be 
appropriated under subsection (a) should be made available to promote 
the rule of law in the Middle East.

SEC. 512. COMPREHENSIVE COALITION STRATEGY FOR FIGHTING TERRORISM.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) Almost every aspect of the counterterrorism strategy of 
        the United States relies on international cooperation.
            (2) Since September 11, 2001, the number and scope of 
        United States Government contacts with foreign governments 
        concerning counterterrorism have expanded significantly, but 
        such contacts have often been ad hoc and not integrated as a 
        comprehensive and unified approach.
    (b) International Contact Group on Counterterrorism.--
            (1) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
        the President--
                    (A) should seek to engage the leaders of the 
                governments of other countries in a process of 
                advancing beyond separate and uncoordinated national 
                counterterrorism strategies to develop with those other 
                governments a comprehensive coalition strategy to fight 
                Islamist terrorism; and
                    (B) to that end, should seek to establish an 
                international counterterrorism policy contact group 
                with the leaders of governments providing leadership in 
                global counterterrorism efforts and governments of 
                countries with sizable Muslim populations, to be used 
                as a ready and flexible international means for 
                discussing and coordinating the development of 
                important counterterrorism policies by the 
                participating governments.
            (2) Authority.--The President is authorized to establish an 
        international counterterrorism policy contact group with the 
        leaders of governments referred to in paragraph (1) for 
        purposes as follows:
                    (A) To develop in common with such other countries 
                important policies and a strategy that address the 
                various components of international prosecution of the 
                war on terrorism, including policies and a strategy 
                that address military issues, law enforcement, the 
                collection, analysis, and dissemination of 
                intelligence, issues relating to interdiction of travel 
                by terrorists, counterterrorism-related customs issues, 
                financial issues, and issues relating to terrorist 
                sanctuaries.
                    (B) To address, to the extent (if any) that the 
                President and leaders of other participating 
                governments determine appropriate, such long-term 
                issues as economic and political reforms that can 
                contribute to strengthening stability and security in 
                the Middle East.

SEC. 513. DETENTION AND HUMANE TREATMENT OF CAPTURED TERRORISTS.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) Carrying out the global war on terrorism requires the 
        development of policies with respect to the detention and 
        treatment of captured international terrorists that is adhered 
        to by all coalition forces.
            (2) Article 3 of the Convention Relative to the Treatment 
        of Prisoners of War, done at Geneva August 12, 1949 (6 UST 
        3316) was specifically designed for cases in which the usual 
        rules of war do not apply, and the minimum standards of 
        treatment pursuant to such Article are generally accepted 
        throughout the world as customary international law.
    (b) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.--
        The term ``cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or 
        punishment'' means the cruel, unusual, and inhumane treatment 
        or punishment prohibited by the 5th amendment, 8th amendment, 
        or 14th amendment to the Constitution.
            (2) Geneva conventions.--The term ``Geneva Conventions'' 
        means--
                    (A) the Convention for the Amelioration of the 
                Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in 
                the Field, done at Geneva August 12, 1949 (6 UST 3114);
                    (B) the Convention for the Amelioration of the 
                Condition of the Wounded, Sick, and Shipwrecked Members 
                of Armed Forces at Sea, done at Geneva August 12, 1949 
                (6 UST 3217);
                    (C) the Convention Relative to the Treatment of 
                Prisoners of War, done at Geneva August 12, 1949 (6 UST 
                3316); and
                    (D) the Convention Relative to the Protection of 
                Civilian Persons in Time of War, done at Geneva August 
                12, 1949 (6 UST 3516).
            (3) Prisoner.--The term ``prisoner'' means a foreign 
        individual captured, detained, interned, or otherwise held in 
        the custody of the United States.
            (4) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary 
        of Defense.
            (5) Torture.--The term ``torture'' has the meaning given 
        that term in section 2340 of title 18, United States Code.
    (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States should engage countries that are 
        participating in the coalition to fight terrorism to develop a 
        common approach toward the detention and humane treatment of 
        captured international terrorists; and
            (2) an approach toward the detention and humane treatment 
        of captured international terrorists developed by the countries 
        participating in the coalition to fight terrorism could draw 
        upon Article 3 of the Convention Relative to the Treatment of 
        Prisoners of War, the principles of which are commonly accepted 
        as minimum basic standards for humane treatment of captured 
        individuals.
    (d) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) to treat any prisoner humanely and in accordance with 
        standards that the Government of the United States would 
        determine to be consistent with international law if such 
        standards were applied to personnel of the United States 
        captured by an enemy in the war on terrorism;
            (2) if there is any doubt as to whether a prisoner is 
        entitled to the protections afforded by the Geneva Conventions, 
        to provide the prisoner such protections until the status of 
        the prisoner is determined under the procedures authorized by 
        paragraph 1-6 of Army Regulation 190-8 (1997); and
            (3) to expeditiously prosecute cases of terrorism or other 
        criminal acts alleged to have been committed by prisoners in 
        the custody of the United States Armed Forces at Guantanamo 
        Bay, Cuba, in order to avoid the indefinite detention of such 
        prisoners.
    (e) Prohibition on Torture or Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading 
Treatment or Punishment.--
            (1) In general.--No prisoner shall be subject to torture or 
        cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment that is 
        prohibited by the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United 
        States.
            (2) Relationship to geneva conventions.--Nothing in this 
        section shall affect the status of any person under the Geneva 
        Conventions or whether any person is entitled to the 
        protections of the Geneva Conventions.
    (f) Rules, Regulations, and Guidelines.--
            (1) Requirement.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall prescribe the 
        rules, regulations, or guidelines necessary to ensure 
        compliance with the prohibition in subsection (e)(1) by the 
        members of the Armed Forces of the United States and by any 
        person providing services to the Department of Defense on a 
        contract basis.
            (2) Report to congress.--The Secretary shall submit to 
        Congress the rules, regulations, or guidelines prescribed under 
        paragraph (1), and any modifications to such rules, 
        regulations, or guidelines--
                    (A) not later than 30 days after the effective date 
                of such rules, regulations, guidelines, or 
                modifications; and
                    (B) in a manner and form that will protect the 
                national security interests of the United States.
    (g) Report on Possible Violations.--
            (1) Requirement.--The Secretary shall submit, on a timely 
        basis and not less than twice each year, a report to Congress 
        on the circumstances surrounding any investigation of a 
        possible violation of the prohibition in subsection (e)(1) by a 
        member of the Armed Forces of the United States or by a person 
        providing services to the Department of Defense on a contract 
        basis.
            (2) Form of report.--A report required under paragraph (1) 
        shall be submitted in a manner and form that--
                    (A) will protect the national security interests of 
                the United States; and
                    (B) will not prejudice any prosecution of an 
                individual involved in, or responsible for, a violation 
                of the prohibition in subsection (e)(1).
    (h) Report on a Coalition Approach Toward the Detention and Humane 
Treatment of Captured Terrorists.--Not later than 180 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to 
Congress a report describing the efforts of the United States 
Government to develop an approach toward the detention and humane 
treatment of captured international terrorists that will be adhered to 
by all countries that are members of the coalition against terrorism.

SEC. 514. PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) Al Qaeda has tried to acquire or make weapons of mass 
        destruction since 1994 or earlier.
            (2) The United States doubtless would be a prime target for 
        use of any such weapon by al Qaeda.
            (3) Although the United States Government has redoubled its 
        international commitments to supporting the programs for 
        Cooperative Threat Reduction and other nonproliferation 
        assistance programs, nonproliferation experts continue to 
        express deep concern about the United States Government's 
        commitment and approach to securing the weapons of mass 
        destruction and related highly dangerous materials that are 
        still scattered among Russia and other countries of the former 
        Soviet Union.
            (4) The cost of increased investment in the prevention of 
        proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and related 
        dangerous materials is greatly outweighed by the potentially 
        catastrophic cost to the United States of use of weapons of 
        mass destruction or related dangerous materials by the 
        terrorists who are so eager to acquire them.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) maximum effort to prevent the proliferation of weapons 
        of mass destruction, wherever such proliferation may occur, is 
        warranted; and
            (2) the programs of the United States Government to prevent 
        or counter the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, 
        including the Proliferation Security Initiative, the programs 
        for Cooperative Threat Reduction, and other nonproliferation 
        assistance programs, should be expanded, improved, and better 
        funded to address the global dimensions of the proliferation 
        threat.
    (c) Requirement for Strategy.--Not later than 180 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to 
Congress--
            (1) a strategy for expanding and strengthening the 
        Proliferation Security Initiative, the programs for Cooperative 
        Threat Reduction, and other nonproliferation assistance 
        programs; and
            (2) an estimate of the funding necessary to execute that 
        strategy.
    (d) Report on Reforming the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program 
and Other Non-Proliferation Assistance Programs.--Not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall 
submit to Congress a report evaluating whether the United States could 
more effectively address the global threat of nuclear proliferation 
by--
            (1) establishing a central coordinator for the programs for 
        Cooperative Threat Reduction;
            (2) eliminating the requirement that the President spend no 
        more than $50,000,000 annually on programs for Cooperative 
        Threat Reduction and other non-proliferation assistance 
        programs carried out outside the former Soviet Union; or
            (3) repealing the provisions of the Soviet Nuclear Threat 
        Reduction Act of 1991 (22 U.S.C. 2551 note) that place 
        conditions on assistance to the former Soviet Union unrelated 
        to bilateral cooperation on weapons dismantlement.

SEC. 515. FINANCING OF TERRORISM.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) While efforts to designate and freeze the assets of 
        terrorist financiers have been relatively unsuccessful, efforts 
        to target the relatively small number of al Qaeda financial 
        facilitators have been valuable and successful.
            (2) The death or capture of several important financial 
        facilitators has decreased the amount of money available to al 
        Qaeda, and has made it more difficult for al Qaeda to raise and 
        move money.
            (3) The capture of al Qaeda financial facilitators has 
        provided a windfall of intelligence that can be used to 
        continue the cycle of disruption.
            (4) The United States Government has rightly recognized 
        that information about terrorist money helps in understanding 
        terror networks, searching them out, and disrupting their 
        operations.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the primary weapon in the effort to stop terrorist 
        financing should be the targeting of terrorist financial 
        facilitators by intelligence and law enforcement agencies; and
            (2) efforts to track terrorist financing must be paramount 
        in United States counter-terrorism efforts.
    (c) Report on Terrorist Financing.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to 
        Congress a report evaluating the effectiveness of United States 
        efforts to curtail the international financing of terrorism.
            (2) Contents.--The report required by paragraph (1) shall 
        evaluate and make recommendations on--
                    (A) the effectiveness of efforts and methods to 
                track terrorist financing;
                    (B) ways to improve international governmental 
                cooperation in this effort;
                    (C) ways to improve performance of financial 
                institutions in this effort;
                    (D) the adequacy of agency coordination in this 
                effort and ways to improve that coordination; and
                    (E) recommendations for changes in law and 
                additional resources required to improve this effort.

           TITLE VI--TERRORIST TRAVEL AND EFFECTIVE SCREENING

SEC. 601. COUNTERTERRORIST TRAVEL INTELLIGENCE.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) Travel documents are as important to terrorists as 
        weapons since terrorists must travel clandestinely to meet, 
        train, plan, case targets, and gain access to attack sites.
            (2) International travel is dangerous for terrorists 
        because they must surface to pass through regulated channels, 
        present themselves to border security officials, or attempt to 
        circumvent inspection points.
            (3) Terrorists use evasive, but detectable, methods to 
        travel, such as altered and counterfeit passports and visas, 
        specific travel methods and routes, liaisons with corrupt 
        government officials, human smuggling networks, supportive 
        travel agencies, and immigration and identity fraud.
            (4) Before September 11, 2001, no Federal agency 
        systematically analyzed terrorist travel strategies. If an 
        agency had done so, the agency could have discovered the ways 
        in which the terrorist predecessors to al Qaeda had been 
        systematically, but detectably, exploiting weaknesses in our 
        border security since the early 1990s.
            (5) Many of the hijackers were potentially vulnerable to 
        interception by border authorities. Analyzing their 
        characteristic travel documents and travel patterns could have 
        allowed authorities to intercept some of the hijackers and a 
        more effective use of information available in Government 
        databases could have identified some of the hijackers.
            (6) The routine operations of our immigration laws and the 
        aspects of those laws not specifically aimed at protecting 
        against terrorism inevitably shaped al Qaeda's planning and 
        opportunities.
            (7) New insights into terrorist travel gained since 
        September 11, 2001, have not been adequately integrated into 
        the front lines of border security.
            (8) The small classified terrorist travel intelligence 
        collection and analysis program currently in place has produced 
        useful results and should be expanded.
    (b) Strategy.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall 
        submit to Congress unclassified and classified versions of a 
        strategy for combining terrorist travel intelligence, 
        operations, and law enforcement into a cohesive effort to 
        intercept terrorists, find terrorist travel facilitators, and 
        constrain terrorist mobility domestically and internationally. 
        The report to Congress should include a description of the 
        actions taken to implement the strategy.
            (2) Accountability.--The strategy submitted under paragraph 
        (1) shall--
                    (A) describe a program for collecting, analyzing, 
                disseminating, and utilizing information and 
                intelligence regarding terrorist travel tactics and 
                methods; and
                    (B) outline which Federal intelligence, diplomatic, 
                and law enforcement agencies will be held accountable 
                for implementing each element of the strategy.
            (3) Coordination.--The strategy shall be developed in 
        coordination with all relevant Federal agencies, including--
                    (A) the National Counterterrorism Center;
                    (B) the Department of Transportation;
                    (C) the Department of State;
                    (D) the Department of the Treasury;
                    (E) the Department of Justice;
                    (F) the Department of Defense;
                    (G) the Federal Bureau of Investigation;
                    (H) the Drug Enforcement Agency; and
                    (I) the agencies that comprise the intelligence 
                community.
            (4) Contents.--The strategy shall address--
                    (A) the intelligence and law enforcement 
                collection, analysis, operations, and reporting 
                required to identify and disrupt terrorist travel 
                practices and trends, and the terrorist travel 
                facilitators, document forgers, human smugglers, travel 
                agencies, and corrupt border and transportation 
                officials who assist terrorists;
                    (B) the initial and ongoing training and training 
                materials required by consular, border, and immigration 
                officials to effectively detect and disrupt terrorist 
                travel described under subsection (c)(3);
                    (C) the new procedures required and actions to be 
                taken to integrate existing counterterrorist travel and 
                mobility intelligence into border security processes, 
                including consular, port of entry, border patrol, 
                maritime, immigration benefits, and related law 
                enforcement activities;
                    (D) the actions required to integrate current 
                terrorist mobility intelligence into military force 
                protection measures;
                    (E) the additional assistance to be given to the 
                interagency Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center for 
                purposes of combatting terrorist travel, including 
                further developing and expanding enforcement and 
                operational capabilities that address terrorist travel;
                    (F) the additional resources to be given to the 
                Directorate of Information and Analysis and 
                Infrastructure Protection to aid in the sharing of 
                information between the frontline border agencies of 
                the Department of Homeland Security and classified and 
                unclassified sources of counterterrorist travel 
                intelligence and information elsewhere in the Federal 
                Government, including the Human Smuggling and 
                Trafficking Center;
                    (G) the development and implementation of 
                procedures to enable the Human Smuggling and 
                Trafficking Center to timely receive terrorist travel 
                intelligence and documentation obtained at consulates 
                and ports of entry, and by law enforcement officers and 
                military personnel;
                    (H) the use of foreign and technical assistance to 
                advance border security measures and law enforcement 
                operations against terrorist travel facilitators;
                    (I) the development of a program to provide each 
                consular, port of entry, and immigration benefits 
                office with a counterterrorist travel expert trained 
                and authorized to use the relevant authentication 
                technologies and cleared to access all appropriate 
                immigration, law enforcement, and intelligence 
                databases;
                    (J) the feasibility of digitally transmitting 
                passport information to a central cadre of specialists 
                until such time as experts described under subparagraph 
                (I) are available at consular, port of entry, and 
                immigration benefits offices; and
                    (K) granting consular officers the security 
                clearances necessary to access law enforcement 
                sensitive databases.
    (c) Frontline Counterterrorist Travel Technology and Training.--
            (1) Technology acquisition and dissemination plan.--Not

                States should be a high priority; and
                    (B) the process of expediting known travelers 
                across the border can permit inspectors to better focus 
                on identifying terrorists attempting to enter the 
                United States.
            (2) Definition.--The term ``registered traveler program'' 
        means any program designed to expedite the travel of previously 
        screened and known travelers across the borders of the United 
        States.
            (3) Registered travel plan.--
                    (A) In general.--As soon as is practicable, the 
                Secretary shall develop and implement a plan to 
                expedite the processing of registered travelers who 
                enter and exit the United States through a single 
                registered traveler program.
                    (B) Integration.--The registered traveler program 
                developed under this paragraph shall be integrated into 
                the automated biometric entry and exit data system 
                described in this section.
                    (C) Review and evaluation.--In developing the 
                program under this paragraph, the Secretary shall--
                            (i) review existing programs or pilot 
                        projects designed to expedite the travel of 
                        registered travelers across the borders of the 
                        United States;
                            (ii) evaluate the effectiveness of the 
                        programs described in clause (i), the costs 
                        associated with such programs, and the costs to 
                        travelers to join such programs; and
                            (iii) increase research and development 
                        efforts to accelerate the development and 
                        implementation of a single registered traveler 
                        program.
            (4) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a

    (e) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be 
appropriated to the Secretary, for each of the fiscal years 2005 
through 2009, such sums as may be necessary to carry out the provisions 
of this section.

SEC. 604. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress finds 
that--
            (1) existing procedures allow many individuals to enter the 
        United States by showing minimal identification or without 
        showing any identification;
            (2) the planning for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 
        2001, demonstrates that terrorists study and exploit United 
        States vulnerabilities; and
            (3) additional safeguards are needed to ensure that 
        terrorists cannot enter the United States.
    (b) Biometric Passports.--
            (1) Development of plan.--The Secretary of Homeland 
        Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, shall 
        develop and implement a plan as expeditiously as possible to 
        require biometric passports or other identification deemed by 
        the Secretary to be at least as secure as a biometric passport, 
        for all travel into the United States by United States citizens 
        and by categories of individuals for whom documentation 
        requirements have previously been waived under section 
        212(d)(4)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
        1182(d)(4)(B)).
            (2) Requirement to produce documentation.--The plan 
        developed under paragraph (1) shall require all United States 
        citizens, and categories of individuals for whom documentation 
        requirements have previously been waived under section 
        212(d)(4)(B) of such Act, to carry and produce the 
        documentation described in paragraph (1) when traveling from 
        foreign countries into the United States.
    (c) Technical and Conforming Amendments.--After the complete 
implementation of the plan described in subsection (b)--
            (1) the Secretary of State and the Attorney General may no 
        longer exercise discretion under section 212(d)(4)(B) of such 
        Act to waive documentary requirements for travel into the 
        United States; and
            (2) the President may no longer exercise discretion under 
        section 215(b) of such Act to waive documentary requirements 
        for United States citizens departing from or entering, or 
        attempting to depart from or enter, the United States, unless 
        the Secretary of State determines that the alternative 
        documentation that is the basis for the waiver of the 
        documentary requirement is at least as secure as a biometric 
        passport.
    (d) Transit Without Visa Program.--The Secretary of State shall not 
use any authorities granted under section 212(d)(4)(C) of such Act 
until the Secretary, in conjunction with the Secretary of Homeland 
Security, completely implements a security plan to fully ensure secure 
transit passage areas to prevent aliens proceeding in immediate and 
continuous transit through the United States from illegally entering 
the United States.

SEC. 605. EXCHANGE OF TERRORIST INFORMATION.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress finds 
that--
            (1) the exchange of terrorist information with other 
        countries, consistent with privacy requirements, along with 
        listings of lost and stolen passports, will have immediate 
        security benefits; and
            (2) the further away from the borders of the United States 
        that screening occurs, the more security benefits the United 
        States will gain.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States Government should exchange terrorist 
        information with trusted allies;
            (2) the United States Government should move toward real-
        time verification of passports with issuing authorities;
            (3) where practicable the United States Government should 
        conduct screening before a passenger departs on a flight 
        destined for the United States;
            (4) the United States Government should work with other 
        countries to ensure effective inspection regimes at all 
        airports;
            (5) the United States Government should work with other 
        countries to improve passport standards and provide foreign 
        assistance to countries that need help making the transition to 
        the global standard for identification; and
            (6) the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination 
        with the Department of State and other agencies, should 
        implement the initiatives called for in this subsection.
    (c) Report Regarding the Exchange of Terrorist Information.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State and the Secretary 
        of Homeland Security, working with other agencies, shall submit 
        to the appropriate committees of Congress a report on Federal 
        efforts to collaborate with allies of the United States in the 
        exchange of terrorist information.
            (2) Contents.--The report shall outline--
                    (A) strategies for increasing such collaboration 
                and cooperation;
                    (B) progress made in screening passengers before 
                their departure to the United States; and
                    (C) efforts to work with other countries to 
                accomplish the goals described under this section.

        suspected terrorists and their associates; and
            (2) use the information obtained by comparing the passenger 
        information with the information in the database to prevent 
        known or suspected terrorists and their associates from 
        boarding such flights or flight segments or to subject them to 
        specific additional security scrutiny, through the use of ``no 
        fly'' and ``automatic selectee'' lists or other means.

SEC. 802. THE INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) The attacks on September 11, 2001, demonstrated that 
        even the most robust emergency response capabilities can be 
        overwhelmed if an attack is large enough.
            (2) Teamwork, collaboration, and cooperation at an incident 
        site are critical to a successful response to a terrorist 
        attack.
            (3) Key decision makers who are represented at the incident 
        command level help to ensure an effective response, the 
        efficient use of resources, and responder safety.
            (4) Regular joint training at all levels is essential to 
        ensuring close coordination during an actual incident.
            (5) Beginning with fiscal year 2005, the Department of 
        Homeland Security is requiring that entities adopt the Incident 
        Command System and other concepts of the National Incident 
        Management System in order to qualify for funds distributed by 
        the Office of State and Local Government Coordination and 
        Preparedness.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) emergency response agencies nationwide should adopt the 
        Incident Command System;
            (2) when multiple agencies or multiple jurisdictions are 
        involved, they should follow a unified command system; and
            (3) the Secretary of Homeland Security should require, as a 
        further condition of receiving homeland security preparedness 
        funds from the Office of State and Local Government 
        Coordination and Preparedness, that grant applicants document 
        measures taken to fully and aggressively implement the Incident 
        Command System and unified command procedures.

SEC. 805. URBAN AREA COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITIES.

    (a) In General.--Title V of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 
U.S.C. 311 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:

``SEC. 510. HIGH RISK URBAN AREA COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITIES.

    ``The Secretary, in consultation with the Federal Communications 
Commission and the Secretary of Defense, and with appropriate 
governors, mayors, and other State and local government officials, 
shall encourage and support the establishment of consistent and 
effective communications capabilities in the event of an emergency in 
urban areas determined by the Secretary to be at consistently high 
levels of risk from terrorist attack. Such communications capabilities 
shall ensure the ability of all levels of government agencies, 
including military authorities, and of first responders, hospitals, and 
other organizations with emergency response capabilities to communicate 
with each other in the event of an emergency. Additionally, the 
Secretary, in conjunction with the Secretary of Defense, shall develop 
plans to provide back-up and additional communications support in the 
event of an emergency.''.
    (b) Technical and Conforming Amendment.--Section 1(b) of that Act 
is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 509 the 
following:

``Sec. 510. High risk urban area communications capabilities.''.

SEC. 806. PRIVATE SECTOR PREPAREDNESS.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) Private sector organizations own 85 percent of the 
        Nation's critical infrastructure and employ the vast majority 
        of the Nation's workers.
            (2) Unless a terrorist attack targets a military or other 
        secure government facility, the first people called upon to 
        respond will likely be civilians.
            (3) Despite the exemplary efforts of some private entities, 
        the private sector remains largely unprepared for a terrorist 
        attack, due in part to the lack of a widely accepted standard 
        for private sector preparedness.
            (4) Preparedness in the private sector and public sector 
        for rescue, restart and recovery of operations should include--
                    (A) a plan for evacuation;
                    (B) adequate communications capabilities; and
                    (C) a plan for continuity of operations.
            (5) The American National Standards Institute recommends a 
        voluntary national preparedness standard for the private sector 
        based on the existing American National Standard on Disaster/
        Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs (NFPA 
        1600), with appropriate modifications. This standard would 
        establish a common set of criteria and terminology for 
        preparedness, disaster management, emergency management, and 
        business continuity programs.
            (6) The mandate of the Department of Homeland Security 
        extends to working with the private sector, as well as 
        government entities.
    (b) Private Sector Preparedness Program.--
            (1) In general.--Title V of the Homeland Security Act of 
        2002 (6 U.S.C. 311 et seq.), as amended by section 805, is 
        amended by adding at the end the following:

``SEC. 511. PRIVATE SECTOR PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM.

    ``The Secretary shall establish a program to promote private sector 
preparedness for terrorism and other emergencies, including promoting 
the adoption of a voluntary national preparedness standard such as the 
private sector preparedness standard developed by the American National 
Standards Institute and based on the National Fire Protection 
Association 1600 Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business 
Continuity Programs.''.
            (2) Technical and conforming amendment.--Section 1(b) of 
        that Act, as amended by section 805, is amended by inserting 
        after the item relating to section 510 the following:

``Sec. 511. Private sector preparedness program.''.
    (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that insurance 
and credit-rating industries should consider compliance with the 
voluntary national preparedness standard, the adoption of which is 
promoted by the Secretary of Homeland Security under section 511 of the 
Homeland Security Act of 2002, as added by subsection (b), in assessing 
insurability and credit worthiness.

SEC. 807. CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND READINESS ASSESSMENTS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Under section 201 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 
        (6 U.S.C 121), the Department of Homeland Security, through the 
        Under Secretary for Information Analysis and Infrastructure 
        Protection, has the responsibility--
                    (A) to carry out comprehensive assessments of the 
                vulnerabilities of the key resources and critical 
                infrastructure of the United States, including the 
                performance of risk assessments to determine the risks 
                posed by particular types of terrorist attacks within 
                the United States;
                    (B) to identify priorities for protective and 
                supportive measures; and
                    (C) to develop a comprehensive national plan for 
                securing the key resources and critical infrastructure 
                of the United States.
            (2) Under Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7, 
        issued on December 17, 2003, the Secretary of Homeland Security 
        was given 1 year to develop a comprehensive plan to identify, 
        prioritize, and coordinate the protection of critical 
        infrastructure and key resources.
            (3) Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
        on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, the Secretary of 
        Homeland Security should--
                    (A) identify those elements of the United States' 
                transportation, energy, communications, financial, and 
                other institutions that need to be protected;
                    (B) develop plans to protect that infrastructure; 
                and
                    (C) exercise mechanisms to enhance preparedness.
    (b) Reports on Risk Assessment and Readiness.--Not later than 180 
days after the date of enactment of this Act and annually thereafter, 
the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit a report to Congress 
on--
            (1) the Department of Homeland Security's progress in 
        completing vulnerability and risk assessments of the Nation's 
        critical infrastructure;
            (2) the adequacy of the Government's plans to protect such 
        infrastructure; and
            (3) the readiness of the Government to respond to threats 
        against the United States.

SEC. 808. REPORT ON NORTHERN COMMAND AND DEFENSE OF THE UNITED STATES 
              HOMELAND.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) The primary responsibility for national defense is with 
        the Department of Defense and the secondary responsibility for 
        national defense is with the Department of Homeland Security, 
        and the 2 departments must have clear delineations of 
        responsibility.
            (2) Before September 11, 2001, the North American Aerospace 
        Defense Command (hereafter in this section referred to as 
        ``NORAD''), which had responsibility for defending United 
        States airspace on September 11, 2001--
                    (A) focused on threats coming from outside the 
                borders of the United States; and
                    (B) had not increased its focus on terrorism within 
                the United States, even though the intelligence 
                community had gathered intelligence on the possibility 
                that terrorists might turn to hijacking and even the 
                use of airplanes as missiles within the United States.
            (3) The United States Northern Command has been established 
        to assume responsibility for defense within the United States.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Secretary of Defense should regularly assess the 
        adequacy of United States Northern Command's plans and 
        strategies with a view to ensuring that the United States 
        Northern Command is prepared to respond effectively to all 
        military and paramilitary threats within the United States; and
            (2) the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
        Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives 
        should periodically review and assess the adequacy of such 
        plans and strategies.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, and every 180 days thereafter, the Secretary of 
Defense shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives a 
report describing the United States Northern Command's plans and 
strategies to defend the United States against military and 
paramilitary threats within the United States.

    (a) In General.--There is established within the Executive Office 
of the President a Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board 
(referred to in this title as the ``Board'').
    (b) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes 
the following findings:
            (1) In conducting the war on terrorism, the Government may 
        need additional powers and may need to enhance the use of its 
        existing powers.
            (2) This shift of power and authority to the Government 
        calls for an enhanced system of checks and balances to protect 
        the precious liberties that are vital to our way of life and to 
        ensure that the Government uses its powers for the purposes for 
        which the powers were given.
    (c) Purpose.--The Board shall--
            (1) analyze and review actions the Executive Branch takes 
        to protect the Nation from terrorism; and
            (2) ensure that liberty concerns are appropriately 
        considered in the development and implementation of laws, 
        regulations, and policies related to efforts to protect the 
        Nation against terrorism.
    (d) Functions.--
            (1) Advice and counsel on policy development and 
        implementation.--The Board shall--
                    (A) review proposed legislation, regulations, and 
                policies related to efforts to protect the Nation from 
                terrorism, including the development and adoption of
