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 supports the Afghan 
        National Development Strategy, provides a strategy 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. 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.

        concluded the process begun in December 5, 2001, in Bonn, 
        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 
        support this goal for the establishment of an independent and 
        neutral Afghanistan.
            ``(5) The United States must continue to demonstrate a 
        long-term commitment to the people of Afghanistan by sustained 
        assistance and the continued deployment of United States troops 
        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.''.
