introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the 
                     Committee on Foreign Relations

_______________________________________________________________________

                                 A BILL


 
       To combat international terrorism, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Targeting Terrorists More 
Effectively Act of 2005''.

               TITLE I--EFFECTIVELY TARGETING TERRORISTS

SEC. 101. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON INCREASING THE NUMBER OF ARMY SPECIAL 
              OPERATIONS FORCES.

    It is the sense of Congress that the number of active-duty Army 
Special Forces-qualified personnel should be increased during the four 
years after the date of the enactment of this Act so that on the date 
that is four years after the date of such enactment such number is 
6,144.

SEC. 102. FOREIGN LANGUAGE EXPERTISE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Success in the global war on terrorism will require a 
        dramatic increase in institutional and personal expertise in 
        the languages and cultures of the societies where terrorism has 
        taken root, including a substantial increase in the number of 
        national security personnel who obtain expert lingual training.
            (2) The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the 
        United States identified the countries in the Middle East, 
        South Asia, Southeast Asia, and West Africa as countries that 
        serve or could serve as terrorist havens.
            (3) Although 22 countries have Arabic as their official 
        language, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the 
        United States found that a total of only 6 undergraduate 
        degrees for the study of Arabic were granted by United States 
        colleges and universities in 2002.
            (4) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
        Attacks Upon the United States contained several criticisms of 
        the lack of linguistic expertise in the Central Intelligence 
        Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation prior to the 
        September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and called for the 
        Central Intelligence Agency to ``develop a stronger language 
        program, with high standards and sufficient financial 
        incentives''.
            (5) An audit conducted by the Department of Justice in July 
        2004, revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has a 
        backlog of hundreds of thousands of untranslated audio 
        recordings from terror and espionage investigations.
            (6) The National Security Education Program Trust Fund, 
        which funds critical grant and scholarship programs for 
        linguistic training in regions critical to national security, 
        will have exhausted all its funding by fiscal year 2006, unless 
        additional appropriations are made to the Trust Fund.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the overwhelming majority of Muslims reject terrorism 
        and a small, radical minority has grossly distorted the 
        teachings of one of the world's great faiths to seek 
        justification for acts of terrorism, such radical Islamic 
        fundamentalism constitutes a primary threat to the national 
        security interests of the United States, and an effective 
        strategy for combating terrorism should include increasing the 
        number of personnel throughout the Federal Government with 
        expertise in languages spoken in predominately Muslim countries 
        and in the culture of such countries;
            (2) Muslim-Americans constitute an integral and cherished 
        part of the fabric of American society and possess many 
        talents, including linguistic, historic, and cultural expertise 
        that should be harnessed in the war against radical, 
        fundamentalist terror; and
            (3) amounts appropriated for the National Flagship Language 
        Initiative pursuant to the amendments made by subsection (e)(2) 
        should be used to support the establishment, operation, and 
        improvement of programs for the study of Arabic, Persian, and 
        other Middle Eastern, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and West 
        African languages in institutes of higher education in the 
        United States.
    (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--
            (1) National security education trust fund.--Section 810 of 
        the David L. Boren National Security Education Act of 1991 (50

    ``(d) Authorization of Appropriations for the Fund for Fiscal Year

        to the Fund $150,000,000 for fiscal year 2006.
            ``(2) Availability of funds.--Amounts appropriated pursuant 
        to the authorization of appropriations in paragraph (1) shall 
        remain available until expended and not more than $15,000,000

                authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary for each 
                fiscal year, beginning with fiscal year 2003, 
                $10,000,000'' and inserting ``there are authorized to 
                be appropriated to the Secretary for each fiscal year 
                2003 through 2005, $10,000,000, and for each fiscal

                    (B) Availability of funds.--Section 811(b) of such 
                Act (50 U.S.C. 1911(b)) is amended by inserting ``for 
                fiscal years 2003 through 2005'' after ``this 
                section''.
            (3) Demonstration program.--There are authorized to be 
        appropriated to the Director of National Intelligence such sums 
        as may be necessary for each of fiscal years 2006, 2007, and

        established under subsection (c).

SEC. 103. CURTAILING TERRORIST FINANCING.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
        Attacks Upon the United States stated that ``[v]igorous efforts 
        to track terrorist financing must remain front and center in 
        United States counterterrorism efforts''.
            (2) The report of the Independent Task Force sponsored by 
        the Council on Foreign Relations stated that ``currently 
        existing U. S. and international policies, programs, 
        structures, and organizations will be inadequate to assure 
        sustained results commensurate with the ongoing threat posed to 
        the national security of the United States''.
            (3) The report of the Independent Task Force contained the 
        conclusion that ``[l]ong-term success will depend critically 
        upon the structure, integration, and focus of the U. S. 
        Government--and any intergovernmental efforts undertaken to 
        address this problem''.
    (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) to work with the Government of Saudi Arabia to curtail 
        terrorist financing originating from that country using a range 
        of methods, including diplomacy, intelligence, and law 
        enforcement;
            (2) to ensure effective coordination and sufficient 
        resources for efforts of the agencies and departments of the 
        United States to disrupt terrorist financing by carrying out, 
        through the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence in 
        the Department of the Treasury, a comprehensive analysis of the 
        budgets and activities of all such agencies and departments 
        that are related to disrupting the financing of terrorist 
        organizations;
            (3) to provide each agency or department of the United 
        States with the appropriate number of personnel to carry out 
        the activities of such agency or department related to 
        disrupting the financing of terrorist organizations;
            (4) to centralize the coordination of the efforts of the 
        United States to combat terrorist financing and utilize 
        existing authorities to identify foreign jurisdictions and 
        foreign financial institutions suspected of abetting terrorist 
        financing and take actions to prevent the provision of 
        assistance to terrorists; and
            (5) to work with other countries to develop and enforce 
        strong domestic terrorist financing laws, and increase funding 
        for bilateral and multilateral programs to enhance training and

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
        Attacks Upon the United States stated that ``[e]ducation 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 Islamic terrorism''.
            (2) According to the United Nations Development Program 
        Arab Human Development Report for 2002, 10,000,000 children 
        between the ages of 6 through 15 in the Arab world do not 
        attend school, and \2/3\ of the 65,000,000 illiterate adults in 
        the Arab world are women.
            (3) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
        Attacks Upon the United States concluded that ensuring 
        educational opportunity is essential to the efforts of the 
        United States to defeat global terrorism and recommended that 
        the United States Government ``should offer to join with other 
        nations in generously supporting [spending funds] . . . 
        directly on building and operating primary and secondary 
        schools in those Muslim states that commit to sensibly 
        investing financial resources in public education''.
    (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) to work toward the goal of dramatically increasing the 
        availability of basic education in the developing world, which

            (2) to join with other countries in generously supporting 
        the International Youth Opportunity Fund authorized under 
        section 7114 of the 9/11 Commission Implementation Act of 2004 
        (Public Law 108-458), with the goal of building and operating 
        primary and secondary schools in Muslim countries that commit 
        to sensibly investing the resources of such countries in public 
        education;
            (3) to work with the international community, including 
        foreign countries and international organizations to raise 
        $7,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000 each year to fund education 
        programs in Muslim countries;
            (4) to offer additional incentives to countries to increase 
        the availability of basic education; and
            (5) to work to prevent financing of educational 
        institutions that support radical Islamic fundamentalism.

            (2) While political repression and lack of economic 
        development do not justify terrorism, increased political 
        freedoms and economic growth can contribute to an environment 
        that undercuts tendencies and conditions that facilitate the 
        rise of terrorist organizations.
            (3) It is in the national security interests of the United 
        States to promote democracy, good governance, political 
        freedom, independent media, women's rights, private sector

        that have a record of success working in the countries of the

            Subtitle C--Restoring American Moral Leadership

SEC. 221. ADVANCING UNITED STATES INTERESTS THROUGH PUBLIC DIPLOMACY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States needs to improve its communication of 
        information and ideas to people in foreign countries, 
        particularly in countries with significant Muslim populations.
            (2) Public diplomacy should reaffirm the paramount 
        commitment of the United States to democratic principles, 
        including preserving the civil liberties of all the people of 
        the United States, including Muslim-Americans.
            (3) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
        Attacks Upon the United States stated that, ``Recognizing that 
        Arab and Muslim audiences rely on satellite television and 
        radio, the government has begun some promising initiatives in 
        television and radio broadcasting to the Arab world, Iran, and 
        Afghanistan. These efforts are beginning to reach large 
        audiences. The Broadcasting Board of Governors has asked for 
        much larger resources. It should get them.''.
            (4) A significant expansion of United States international 
        broadcasting would provide a cost-effective means of improving 
        communication with countries with significant Muslim 
        populations by providing news, information, and analysis, as 
        well as cultural programming, through both radio and television 
        broadcasts.

International Broadcasting Act of 1994 (22 U.S.C. 6201 et seq.) is

SEC. 223. TREATMENT OF DETAINEES.

    (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 are 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) Policy.--The policy of the United States is as follows:
            (1) It is the policy of the United States to treat all 
        foreign persons captured, detained, interned, or otherwise held 
        in the custody of the United States (hereinafter ``detainees'') 
        humanely and in accordance with the legal obligations under 
        United States law and international law, including the 
        obligations in the Convention Against Torture and in the 
        minimum standards set forth in the Geneva Conventions.
            (2) It is the policy of the United States that all 
        officials of the United States are bound both in wartime and in 
        peacetime by the legal prohibitions against torture, cruel, 
        inhumane, or degrading treatment set out in the Constitution, 
        laws, and treaties of the United States.
            (3) If there is any doubt as to whether a detainee is 
        entitled to the protections afforded by the Geneva Conventions, 
        it is the policy of the United States that such detainee shall 
        enjoy the protections of the Convention Relative to the 
        Treatment of Prisoners of War, done at Geneva August 12, 1949 
        (6 UST 3316) until such time as the detainee's status can be 
        determined pursuant to the procedures authorized by Army 
        Regulation 190-8, Section 1-6.
            (4) It is the policy of the United States to provide 
        individualized hearings for all detainees for the purpose of 
        expeditiously holding detainees accountable for violations of 
        the law of war, other relevant international prohibitions, or 
        criminal laws alleged to have been committed by such detainees 
        or to expeditiously conduct intelligence debriefings of such 
        detainees.
            (5) It is the policy of the United States to avoid the 
        indefinite detention of any individual in a manner which is 
        contrary to the legal principles and security interests of the 
        United States.
    (c) Reporting.--The Secretary shall submit to the appropriate 
congressional committees:
            (1) A quarterly report providing the number of detainees 
        who were denied prisoner of war status under the Geneva 
        Conventions and the basis for denying such status to each such 
        detainee.
            (2) Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of 
        this Act, a report setting forth--
                    (A) the proposed schedule for military commissions

                    (B) the number of individuals currently held at

                who are unlikely to face a military commission in the 
                next six months, and each reason for not bringing such 
                individuals before a military commission.

        this Act, all International Committee of the Red Cross reports, 
        completed prior to the date of enactment of this Act, 
        concerning the treatment of detainees in United States custody 
        at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Such reports 
        should be provided, in classified form.
            (4) Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of

Conventions, the Convention Against Torture, and the obligations of the

Treatment or Punishment.--

        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.

SEC. 233. SAUDI ARABIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has an uneven record in the 
        fight against terrorism, especially with respect to terrorist 
        financing, support for radical madrassas, and a lack of 
        political outlets for its citizens, that poses a threat to the 
        security of the United States, the international community, and 
        the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia itself.
            (2) The United States has a national security interest in 
        working with the Government of Saudi Arabia to combat 
        international terrorists that operate within that nation or 
        that operate outside Saudi Arabia with the support of citizens 
        of Saudi Arabia.
            (3) In order to more effectively combat terrorism, the 
        Government of Saudi Arabia must undertake a number of political 
        and economic reforms, including increasing anti-terrorism 
        operations conducted by law enforcement agencies, providing 
        more political rights to its citizens, increasing the rights of 
        women, engaging in comprehensive educational reform, enhancing 
        monitoring of charitable organizations, promulgating and 
        enforcing domestic laws and regulation on terrorist financing.
    (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) to engage with the Government of Saudi Arabia to openly 
        confront the issue of terrorism, as well as other problematic 
        issues such as the lack of political freedoms, with the goal of 
        restructuring the relationship on terms that leaders of both 
        nations can publicly support;
            (2) to enhance counterterrorism cooperation with the 
        Government of Saudi Arabia, if the political leaders of such 
        Government are committed to making a serious, sustained effort 
        to combat terrorism; and
            (3) to support the efforts of the Government of Saudi 
        Arabia to make political, economic, and social reforms 
        throughout the country.
    (c) Strategy on Saudi Arabia.--
            (1) Requirement for report on strategy.--Not later than 90 
        days after the date of enactment of this Act, the President

        report, in classified form if necessary, that describes the

                to facilitate political, economic, and social reforms 
                that will enhance the ability of the Government of 
                Saudi Arabia to combat international terrorism; and
                    (B) to effectively prevent the financing of 
                terrorists in Saudi Arabia.
            (2) Appropriate congressional committees defined.--In this 
        subsection the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' 
        means the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on 
        Foreign Relations in the Senate, and the Committee on 
        Appropriations and the Committee on International Relations of

    (b) Training.--The Secretary shall provide appropriate training for 
agents, inspectors, and associated support staff on an ongoing basis to 
utilize new technologies and to ensure that the proficiency levels of 
such personnel are acceptable to protect the borders of the United 
States.

                     Subtitle C--Seaport Protection

SEC. 321. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States port system is a vital artery of the 
        economy of the United States. Almost 95 percent of all foreign 
        trade passes through one or more of the 361 ports in the United 
        States. Such seaports handle more than 2,000,000,000 tons of 
        domestic and international freight each year of which has a 
        value of more than $740,000,000. The shipment of cargo in 
        vessels creates employment for 13,000,000 people within the 
        United States.
            (2) The United States Coast Guard has estimated that, given 
        this tremendous commerce, a terrorist attack shutting down a 
        major port in the United States would have a $60,000,000 impact 
        on the United States economy during the first 30 days after 
        such an attack.
            (3) Although 6,000,000 cargo containers, each a possible 
        hiding place for a bomb or other weapon, are off-loaded at 
        ports in the United States each year, less than \1/10\ of these 
        containers are physically inspected. A container ship can carry 
        as many as 3,000 containers, each one weighing up to 45,000 
        pounds, hundreds of which may be off-loaded at a port.
            (4) The United States Coast Guard has estimated that the 
        maritime security requirements set for ports by the Maritime 
        Transportation Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-295; 116 
        Stat. 2064), which are critical to protecting United States 
        ports from a nuclear terrorist attack, will cost $5,400,000,000 
        to implement over a 10-year period.

terrorists or as carriers of weapons of mass destruction.
    (b) Elements.--To carry out the Tanker Security Initiative the 
Secretary of Homeland Security may--
            (1) develop physical standards intended to prevent 
        terrorists from placing a weapon of mass destruction in or on a 
        tanker vessel without detection;
            (2) develop detection equipment, and prescribe the use of 
        such equipment, to be employed on a tanker vessel that is bound 
        for a United States port of entry;
            (3) develop new security inspection procedures required to 
        be carried out on a tanker vessel at a foreign port of

        determines would address effectively such risks.

                      Subtitle D--First Responders

SEC. 331. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In a report entitled ``Emergency First Responders: 
        Drastically Underfunded, Dangerously Unprepared'', an 
        independent task force sponsored by the Council on Foreign 
        Relations found that ``America's local emergency responders 
        will always be the first to confront a terrorist incident and 
        will play the central role in managing its immediate 
        consequences. Their efforts in the first minutes and hours 
        following an attack will be critical to saving lives, 
        establishing order, and preventing mass panic. The United 
        States has both a responsibility and a critical need to provide 
        them with the equipment, training, and other resources 
        necessary to do their jobs safely and effectively.''.
            (2) The task force further concluded that many state and 
        local emergency responders, including police officers and 
        firefighters, lack the equipment and training needed to respond 
        effectively to a terrorist attack involving weapons of mass 
        destruction.
            (3) The Federal Government has a responsibility to ensure 
        that the people of the United States are protected to the 
        greatest possible extent against a terrorist attack, especially 
        an attack that utilizes nuclear, chemical, biological, or 
        radiological weapons, and consequently, the Federal Government 
        has a critical responsibility to address the equipment, 
        training, and other needs of State and local first responders.

SEC. 332. RESTORATION OF JUSTICE ASSISTANCE FUNDING.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) State and local police officers, firefighters, and 
        emergency responders play an essential role in the efforts of 
        the United States to prevent terrorist attacks and, if an 
        attack occurred, to address the effects of the attack.
            (2) An independent task force has concluded that hundreds 
        of local police offices and firefighting and emergency response 
        units throughout the United States are unprepared for 
        responding to a terrorist attack involving nuclear, chemical, 
        biological, or radiological weapons.
            (3) The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant 
        Program provides critical Federal support for personnel, 
        equipment, training, and technical assistance for the homeland 
        security responsibilities of local law enforcement offices.
            (4) The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 
        108-447) appropriated funding for the Edward Byrne Memorial 
        Justice Assistance Grant Program, a program that resulted from 
        the combination of the Edward Byrne Memorial Grant Program and 
        the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program.
            (5) Funding for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice 
        Assistance Grant Program, as provided in the Consolidated 
        Appropriations Act, 2005, has been reduced by nearly 50 percent 
        since fiscal year 2002.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
President should request in the annual budget proposal, and Congress 
should appropriate, the full amount authorized to be appropriated in 
subsection (c).
    (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be 
appropriated for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant 
Program--
            (1) for fiscal year 2006, $1,250,000,000;
            (2) for fiscal year 2007, $1,400,000,000; and
            (3) for fiscal year 2008, $1,600,000,000.

SEC. 502. PROHIBITION ON WAR PROFITEERING.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) War profiteering, the overcharging of taxpayers for any 
        good or service with the specific intent to excessively profit 
        from a conflict or reconstruction situation, not only defrauds 
        taxpayers in the United States, but also threatens the safety 
        of United States troops in harms way by hindering 
        reconstruction progress, damaging the credibility of the United 
        States, and wasting resources that could be used for troop 
        protection.
            (2) Laws prohibiting fraud protect against waste of tax 
        dollars within the United States, but no current fraud statute 
        expressly prohibits waste of tax dollars resulting from war 
        profiteering during conflicts in foreign countries.
            (3) War profiteers have hindered United States efforts to 
        secure and reconstruct Iraq. In its third quarterly report, the 
        Coalition Provisional Authority Inspector General reported 
        that, as of October 12, 2004, it had received a total of 113 
        potential criminal cases.
            (4) In nine separate reports, the Defense Contract Audit 
        Agency, the Coalition Provisional Authority Inspector General, 
        and the Government Accountability Office have found widespread, 
        systematic abuses by the Halliburton Company and its 
        subsidiaries, including instances of overcharging worth tens of 
        millions of dollars, fraudulent accounting practices, and 
        kickbacks. Contracts awarded to Custer Battles, LLC, were 
        suspended by the Department of Defense after it uncovered 
        fraudulent billing practices including the establishment of 
        phantom off-shore corporations. Government investigators have 
        found contract irregularities, including lack of transparency 
        and poor accounting, in contracts awarded to other firms.
    (b) Prohibition of Profiteering.--
            (1) Prohibition.--
                    (A) In general.--Chapter 47 of title 18, United 
                States Code, is amended by adding at the end the 
                following new section:
