(10)Stabilization
and reconstruction operationThe term stabilization and

(including services that might be provided under the authority of chapter 4 of

to the Economic Support Fund)), should, in the national interest of the United

United States, and any waters within the jurisdiction of the United

3.
(a)Congress
finds the following:
(1)Responsibilities
for overseas stability and reconstruction operations are divided among several
agencies. As a result, lines of responsibility and accountability are not
well-defined.
(2)Despite the
establishment of the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and
Stabilization within the Department of State, the reaffirmation of the
Coordinator’s mandate by the National Security Presidential Directive 44, its
codification with title XVI of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2009, and the issuance of the Department of Defense
Directive 3000.05, serious imbalances and insufficient interagency coordination
remain.
(3)The United States
Government has not effectively or efficiently managed stabilization and
reconstruction operations during recent decades.
(4)Based on trends,
the United States will likely continue to find its involvement necessary in
stabilization and reconstruction operations in foreign countries in the wake of
violence or cataclysmic disaster.
(5)The United States
has not adequately learned the lessons of its recent experiences in
stabilization and reconstruction operations, and despite efforts to improve its
performance is not yet organized institutionally to respond appropriately to
the need to perform stabilization and reconstruction operations in foreign
countries.
(6)The failure to
learn the lessons of past stabilization and reconstruction operations will lead
to further inefficiencies, resulting in greater human and financial
costs.
(b)The
purposes of this Act are to—
(1)advance the
national interest of the United States by providing an effective means to plan
for and execute stabilization and reconstruction operations in foreign
countries;
(2)provide for unity
of command, and thus achieve unity of effort, in the planning and execution of
stabilization and reconstruction operations;
(3)provide
accountability for resources dedicated to stabilization and reconstruction
operations;
(4)maximize the
efficient use of resources, which may lead to budget savings, eliminated
redundancy in functions, and improvement in the management of stabilization and
reconstruction operations; and
(5)establish an
entity to plan for stabilization and reconstruction operations and, when
directed by the President, coordinate and execute such operations, eventually
returning responsibility for such operations to other agencies of the United
States Government as the situation becomes normalized.
4.Construction;
severabilityAny provision of
this Act held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms, or as applied to any
person or circumstance, shall be construed so as to give it the maximum effect
permitted by law, unless such holding shall be one of utter invalidity or
unenforceability, in which event such provision shall be deemed severable from

provision to other persons not similarly situated or to other, dissimilar
circumstances.
