SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Nearly six years after the liberation of Afghanistan 
        from the Taliban, who provided Osama Bin-Laden and Al-Qaeda 
        with a safe haven for planning the attacks of September 11, 
        2001, Afghanistan remains highly unstable and the Government of 
        President Hamid Karzai remains subject to attacks from remnants 
        of the Taliban who have regrouped along with other insurgent 
        groups, including some foreign fighters associated with Al-
        Qaeda.
            (2) The Government of Afghanistan supports the continued 
        deployment of international forces to supplement its own 
        nascent national security forces, and the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization (NATO), which took over international stability 
        operations for the entire country on October 5, 2006, must show 
        continued commitment to these operations in order to assist 
        Afghanistan in defeating the growing insurgency in rural areas 
        of Afghanistan.
            (3) The current United States counter-narcotics strategy 
        for Afghanistan has not produced significant results, in part 
        due to a failure to seek out and capture high-level warlords 
        and kingpins who control the flow of illicit narcotics and 
        because sufficient sustainable alternatives have not been 
        provided to Afghan farmers who suffer from a lack of access to 
        microfinance facilities, financial services, and land rights 
        and whose crops are subject to eradication.
            (4) In some cases, the misaligned eradication policy 
        endorsed by the United States Government has led adversely-
        affected Afghan farmers and villagers to support insurgent 
        groups, including the Taliban.
            (5) The violence and instability in Afghanistan is further 
        exacerbated by the flourishing trade in opium and opium-related 
        crops, which has reached record levels and which fuel local 
        militias, corrupts the national and local governments, and 
        provides funding for insurgent and terrorist groups.
            (6) The United States and the international community must 
        continue to support Afghanistan both through increased support 
        for its national and local police forces, the Afghan National 
        Army, and Afghan counter-narcotics operations.
            (7) The United States and the international community must 
        also continue to support the growth of the Afghan economy 
        through foreign assistance and other means because Afghanistan 
        remains one of the poorest countries in the world and economic 
        growth is impeded by the lingering remnants of 25 years of 
        civil war and occupation and the ongoing instability since 
        December 2001, including the growing illicit drug economy.
            (8) The United States and the international community must 
        also continue to show a long-term commitment to support the 
        promotion of democracy and the protection of human rights in 
        Afghanistan, including increased assistance for the rule of 
        law, freedom of the press, freedom of association, freedom of 
        religion, and other measures of good governance.
            (9) From January 31 to February 1, 2006, the Government of 
        Afghanistan and the international community issued the 
        Afghanistan Compact, which sets forth both the international 
        community's commitment to Afghanistan and Afghanistan's 
        commitment to state-building and reform over the next five 
        years.
            (10) The Afghanistan Compact, which is supported by the 
        Afghan National Development Strategy, provides the core 
        framework for building an effective, accountable state in 
        Afghanistan, with goals and standards set forth in the 
        Afghanistan Compact for improvements in security, governance, 
        and development, including measures for reducing the narcotics 
        economy, promoting regional cooperation, and making aid more 
        effective, particularly at the local and provincial levels. The 
        Afghanistan Compact also established a mechanism to monitor 
        Afghanistan and the international community's adherence to the 
        timelines, goals, and objectives set forth in the document.
            (11) The security of Afghanistan is closely intertwined 
        with those of its regional neighbors and success in 
        Afghanistan, both economic and political, will be dependent on 
        security and stability in the region.
            (12) The recent closure of four refugee camps in Pakistan 
        and the deportation of Afghans from Iran have resulted in over 
        200,000 Afghan refugees repatriating to Afghanistan who will 
        require urgent humanitarian services.

        Germany, the United States needs to continue to work with the 
        Government of Afghanistan and other friendly countries to 
        ensure that Afghanistan's neighboring countries and other 
        countries in the region do not threaten or interfere in one 
        another's sovereignty, territorial integrity, or political 
        independence, including supporting diplomatic initiatives to

        long-term commitment to the people of Afghanistan by sustained

        in Afghanistan with the support of the Government of 
        Afghanistan as Afghanistan continues on its path toward a 
        broad-based, multi-ethnic, gender-sensitive, and fully 
        representative government in Afghanistan.
            ``(6) To foster stability and democratization and to 
        effectively eliminate the causes of terrorism, the United 
        States and the international community should also support 
        efforts that advance the development of democratic civil 
        authorities and institutions in Afghanistan's neighboring 
        countries and throughout the Central Asia and South Asia 
        regions.
            ``(7) While rampant corruption has impeded development and 
        economic growth in Afghanistan and contributed to insecurity in 
        the country, the United States should support all efforts to 
        fight corruption in all levels of government in Afghanistan and 
        assist in promoting an efficient and effective Government of 
        Afghanistan.''.

SEC. 306. REAUTHORIZATION OF RADIO FREE AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since January 30, 2002, RFE/RL, Incorporated (formerly 
        known as Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty) has provided 12 hours 
        of daily surrogate broadcasting services through Radio Free 
        Afghanistan in Dari and Pashto languages to the people of 
        Afghanistan.
            (2) Radio Free Afghanistan is the leading broadcaster in 
        Afghanistan with an audience of nearly 60 percent of the adult 
        population.
            (3) It is in the national interest to continue Radio Free 
        Afghanistan's surrogate broadcasts to Afghanistan in order to 
        provide accurate news and information, help give voice to 
        ordinary Afghans, and provide programs on the fundamentals of 
        democracy.
    (b) Authorization of Appropriations.--For each of the fiscal years 
2008 through 2010, such sums as may be necessary are authorized to be 
appropriated to the Broadcasting Board of Governors for grants to

SEC. 307. ELIGIBILITY IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES FOR AGENCIES OF THE 
              GOVERNMENTS OF AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN TO RECEIVE A

            ``(1) In general.--An officer'';
            (2) in paragraph (1), as so designated by paragraph (1) of 
        this subsection, by inserting ``, except as provided in 
        paragraph (2),'' before ``of a foreign government''; and
            (3) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
            ``(2) Exception in certain circumstances.--The Secretary 
        may pay a reward to an officer or employee of the government of 
        Afghanistan or Pakistan (or any entity thereof) who, while in 
        the performance of his or her official duties, furnishes 
        information described in such subsection, if the Secretary 
        determines that such payment satisfies the following 
        conditions:
                    ``(A) Such payment is appropriate in light of the 
                exceptional or high-profile nature of the information 
                furnished pursuant to such subsection and such 
                information relates in any way to the commission of an 
                act in Afghanistan.
                    ``(B) Such payment may aid in furnishing further 
                information described in such subsection.

                agency.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendment.--Subsection (b) of such section (22

inserting ``or to any officer or employee of a foreign government in 
accordance with subsection (f)(2)'' after ``individual''.

SEC. 308. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD IRAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) It is of grave concern that General Peter Pace, the 
        Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated in late April 
        2007 that United States and Coalition forces ``have intercepted 
        weapons in Afghanistan headed for the Taliban that were made in 
        Iran''.
            (2) Iran's provision of weaponry and technological 
        expertise to terrorist and criminal elements operating in 
        Afghanistan have reportedly included--
                    (A) 107 mm mortars, rocket-propelled grenades, C-4 
                explosives, and small arms;
                    (B) surface-to-air missiles reportedly supplied by 
                the Iranian Revolutionary Guard;
                    (C) explosively-formed projectiles, one of which 
                was recently discovered in Kabul; and
                    (D) Iranian 240 mm rockets, with a range of up to 
                30 miles, which have been used recently by Shiite 
                extremists against United States and British targets in 
                Basra and Baghdad.
            (3) An increase in both the quantity and quality of Iranian 
        arms shipments and technological expertise to the Taliban, 
        other terrorist organizations, and criminal elements has the 
        potential to significantly change the battlefield in 
        Afghanistan, and lead to a large increase in United States, 
        International Security Assistance Force, Coalition, and Afghan 
        casualties.
    (b) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this Act or any amendment 
made by this Act shall be construed to limit the ability of the United 
States to respond to Iranian-supported or facilitated attacks against 
United States Armed Forces or interests in Afghanistan.

            Passed the House of Representatives June 6, 2007.

            Attest:
