     SECTION. 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This joint resolution may be cited as the ``Multilateral 
     Use of Force Authorization Act of 2002''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In accordance with United Nations Security Council 
     Resolution 687 (1991), Iraq made a commitment--
       (A) to destroy, remove, or render harmless all chemical and 
     biological weapons and stocks of agents and all related 
     subsystems and components and all research, development, 
     support, and manufacturing facilities related thereto;
       (B) to destroy, remove, or render harmless all ballistic 
     missiles with a range greater than 150 kilometers, and 
     related major parts and production facilities;
       (C) not to acquire or develop any nuclear weapons, nuclear-
     weapons-usable material, nuclear-related subsystems or 
     components, or nuclear-related research, development, 
     support, or manufacturing facilities; and
       (D) to permit immediate on-site inspection of Iraq's 
     biological, chemical, and missile capabilities, and assist 
     the International Atomic Energy Agency in carrying out the 
     destruction, removal, or rendering harmless of all nuclear-
     related items and in developing a plan for ongoing monitoring 
     and verification of Iraq's compliance.
       (2) The regime of Saddam Hussein consistently refused to 
     cooperate with United Nations Special Commission weapons 
     inspectors in Iraq between 1991 and 1998 by denying them 
     access to crucial people, sites, and documents.
       (3) On October 31, 1998, Iraq banned the United Nations 
     weapons inspectors despite its agreement and obligation to 
     comply with United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 
     (1991).
       (4) Iraq continues to develop weapons of mass destruction, 
     in violation of its commitments under United Nations Security 
     Council Resolution 687 (1991) and subsequent resolutions, and 
     the regime of Saddam Hussein has used weapons of mass 
     destruction against its own people and other nations.

[[Page S10228]]

       (5) The development of weapons of mass destruction by Iraq 
     is a threat to the United States, to the friends and allies 
     of the United States in the Middle East, and to international 
     peace and security.

     promptly a resolution that--
       (A) demands that Iraq provide immediate, unconditional, and

     so that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons-
     usable material, ballistic missiles with a range in excess of 
     150 kilometers, and related facilities are destroyed,

     Iraq refuses to comply;

     SECTION. 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This joint resolution may be cited as the ``Multilateral 
     Use of Force Authorization Act of 2002''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In accordance with United Nations Security Council 
     Resolution 687 (1991), Iraq made a commitment--
       (A) to destroy, remove, or render harmless all chemical and 
     biological weapons and stocks of agents and all related 
     subsystems and components and all research, development, 
     support, and manufacturing facilities related thereto;
       (B) to destroy, remove, or render harmless all ballistic 
     missiles with a range greater than 150 kilometers, and 
     related major parts and production facilities;
       (C) not to acquire or develop any nuclear weapons, nuclear-
     weapons-usable material, nuclear-related subsystems or 
     components, or nuclear-related research, development, 
     support, or manufacturing facilities; and
       (D) to permit immediate on-site inspection of Iraq's 
     biological, chemical, and missile capabilities, and assist 
     the International Atomic Energy Agency in carrying out the 
     destruction, removal, or rendering harmless of all nuclear-
     related items and in developing a plan for ongoing monitoring 
     and verification of Iraq's compliance.
       (2) The regime of Saddam Hussein consistently refused to 
     cooperate with United Nations Special Commission weapons 
     inspectors in Iraq between 1991 and 1998 by denying them 
     access to crucial people, sites, and documents.
       (3) On October 31, 1998, Iraq banned the United Nations 
     weapons inspectors despite its agreement and obligation to 
     comply with United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 
     (1991).
       (4) Iraq continues to develop weapons of mass destruction, 
     in violation of its commitments under United Nations Security 
     Council Resolution 687 (1991) and subsequent resolutions, and 
     the regime of Saddam Hussein has used weapons of mass 
     destruction against its own people and other nations.
       (5) The development of weapons of mass destruction by Iraq 
     is a threat to the United States, to the friends and allies 
     of the United States in the Middle East, and to international 
     peace and security.

     SEC. 3. CONGRESSIONAL POLICY FOR UNITED NATIONS SECURITY 
                   COUNCIL ACTION ON IRAQ.

       Congress--
       (1) supports the President's call for the United Nations to 
     address the threat to international peace and security posed 
     by Saddam Hussein's continued refusal to meet Iraq's 
     obligations under resolutions of the United Nations Security 
     Council to accept the destruction, removal, or rendering 
     harmless of its weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons-
     usable material, ballistic missiles with a range in excess of 
     150 kilometers, and related facilities, and to cease the 
     development, production, or acquisition of such weapons, 
     materials, and missiles;
       (2) urges the United Nations Security Council to adopt 
     promptly a resolution that--
       (A) demands that Iraq provide immediate, unconditional, and 
     unrestricted access of the United Nations weapons inspectors 
     so that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons-
     usable material, ballistic missiles with a range in excess of 
     150 kilometers, and related facilities are destroyed, 
     removed, or rendered harmless; and
       (B) authorizes the use of necessary and appropriate 
     military force by member states of the United Nations to 
     enforce such resolution in the event that the Government of 
     Iraq refuses to comply; and
       (3) affirms that, under international law and the United 
     Nations Charter, the United States has at all times the 
     inherent right to use military force in self-defense.

     SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES 
                   PURSUANT TO A NEW UNITED NATIONS SECURITY 
                   COUNCIL RESOLUTION.

     Nations Security Council described in section 3(2) that is 
     adopted after the enactment of this joint resolution, and 
     subject to subsection (b), the President is authorized to use 
     the Armed Forces of the United States to destroy, remove, or 
     render harmless Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, nuclear 
     weapons-usable material, ballistic missiles with a range 
     greater than 150 kilometers, and related facilities, if Iraq 
     fails to comply with the terms of the Security Council 
     resolution.
       (b) Requirements.--Before the authority granted in 
     subsection (a) is exercised, the President shall make 
     available to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and 
     the President pro tempore of the Senate his determination 
     that the United States has used appropriate diplomatic and 
     other peaceful means to obtain compliance by Iraq with a 
     resolution of the United Nations Security Council described 
     in section 3(2) and that those efforts have not been and are 
     not likely to be successful in obtaining such compliance.
       (c) War Powers Resolution Requirements.--
       (1) Specific statutory authorization.--Consistent with 
     section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution, Congress 
     declares that this section is intended to constitute specific 
     statutory authorization within the meaning of section 5(b) of 
     the War Powers Resolution (22 U.S.C. 1544(b)).
       (2) Applicability of other requirements.--Nothing in this 
     joint resolution supersedes any requirement of the War Powers 
     Resolution.

     joint resolution, and at least once during every 60-day

Domenici, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Allard, Mr. 
Baucus, Mr. Helms, Mr. Bunning, Mr. Lott, Mr. Shelby, Mr. Thompson, and 
Mr. Nickles) to the joint resolution S.J. Res. 45, to authorize the use 
of United States Armed Forces against Iraq; which was ordered to lie on 
the table; as follows:

       Strike all after ``SECTION 1.'' and insert the following:

     SHORT TITLE.

       This joint resolution may be cited as the ``Disarm Iraq Act 
     of 2002''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       (1) Since in 1990 in response to Iraq's war of aggression 
     against and illegal occupation of Kuwait, the United States 
     forged a coalition of nations to liberate Kuwait and its 
     people in order to defend the national security of the United 
     States and enforce United Nations Security Council 
     resolutions relating to Iraq.
       (2) Since after the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, Iraq 
     entered into a United Nations sponsored cease-fire agreement 
     pursuant to which Iraq unequivocally agreed, among other 
     things, to eliminate its nuclear, biological, and chemical 
     weapons programs and the means to deliver and develop them, 
     and to end its support for international terrorism.
       (3) Since the efforts of international weapons inspectors, 
     United States intelligence agencies, and Iraqi defectors led 
     to the discovery that Iraq had large stockpiles of chemical 
     weapons and a large scale biological weapons program, and 
     that Iraq had an advanced nuclear weapons development program 
     that was much closer to producing a nuclear weapon than 
     intelligence reporting had previously indicated.
       (4) Since Iraq, in direct and flagrant violation of the 
     cease-fire, attempted to thwart the efforts of weapons 
     inspectors to identify and destroy Iraq's weapons of mass 
     destruction stockpiles and development capabilities, which 
     finally resulted in the withdrawal of inspectors from Iraq on 
     October 31, 1998.
       (5) Since in 1998 Congress concluded that Iraq's continuing 
     weapons of mass destruction programs threatened vital United 
     States interests and international peace and security, 
     declared Iraq to be in ``material and unacceptable breach of 
     its international obligations'' and urged the President ``to 
     take appropriate action, in accordance with the Constitution 
     and relevant laws of the United States, to bring Iraq into 
     compliance with its international obligations'' (Public Law 
     105-235).
       (6) Since Iraq both poses a continuing threat to the 
     national security of the United States and international 
     peace and security in the Persian Gulf region and remains in 
     material and unacceptable breach of its international 
     obligations by, among other things, continuing to possess and 
     develop a significant chemical and biological weapons 
     capability, actively seeking a nuclear weapons capability, 
     and supporting and harboring terrorist organizations.
       (7) Since Iraq persists in violating resolutions of the 
     United Nations Security Council by continuing to engage in 
     brutal repression of its civilian population thereby 
     threatening international peace and security in the region, 
     by refusing to release, repatriate, or account for non-Iraqi 
     citizens wrongfully detained by Iraq, including an American 
     serviceman, and by failing to return property wrongfully 
     seized by Iraq from Kuwait.
       (8) Since the current Iraqi regime has demonstrated its 
     capability and willingness to

[[Page S10230]]

     use weapons of mass destruction against other nations and its 
     own people.
       (9) Since the current Iraqi regime has demonstrated its 
     continuing hostility toward, and willingness to attack, the 
     United States, including by attempting in 1993 to assassinate 
     former President Bush and by firing on many thousands of 
     occasions on United States and Coalition Armed Forces engaged 
     in enforcing the resolutions of the United Nations Security 
     Council.
       (10) Since members of al Qaida, an organization bearing 
     responsibility for attacks on the United States, its 
     citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred 
     on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq.
       (11) Since Iraq continues to aid and harbor other 
     international terrorist organizations, including 
     organizations that threaten the lives and safety of American 
     citizens.
       (12) Since the attacks on the United States of September 
     11, 2001, underscored the gravity of the threat posed by the 
     acquisition of weapons of mass destruction by international 
     terrorist organizations.
       (13) Since Iraq's demonstrated capability and willingness 
     to use weapons of mass destruction, the risk that the current 
     Iraqi regime will either employ those weapons to launch a 
     surprise attack against the United States or its Armed Forces 
     or provide them to international terrorists who would do so, 
     and the extreme magnitude of harm that would result to the 
     United States and its citizens from such an attack, combine 
     to justify action by the United States to defend itself.
       (14) Since United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 
     authorizes the use of all necessary means to enforce United 
     Nations Security Council Resolution 660 and subsequent 
     relevant resolutions and to compel Iraq to cease certain 
     activities that threaten international peace and security, 
     including the development of weapons of mass destruction and 
     refusal or obstruction of United Nations weapons inspections 
     in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 
     687, repression of its civilian population in violation of 
     United Nations Security Council Resolution 688, and 
     threatening its neighbors or United Nations operations in 
     Iraq in violation of United Nations Security Council 
     Resolution 949.
       (15) Since Congress in the Authorization of Use of Military 
     Force Against Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1) has 
     authorized the President ``to use United States Armed Forces 
     pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 
     (1990) in order to achieve implementation of Security Council 
     Resolutions 660, 661, 662, 664, 665, 666, 667, 669, 670, 674, 
     and 677''.
       (16) Since in December 1991, Congress expressed its sense 
     that it ``supports the use of all necessary means to achieve 
     the goals of United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 
     as being consistent with the Authorization of Use of Military 
     Force Against Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1),'' that 
     Iraq's repression of its civilian population violates United 
     Nations Security Council Resolution 688 and ``constitutes a 
     continuing threat to the peace, security, and stability of 
     the Persian Gulf region,'' and that Congress, ``supports the 
     use of all necessary means to achieve the goals of United 
     Nations Security Council Resolution 688''.
       (17) Since the Iraq Liberation Act (Public Law 105-338) 
     expressed the sense of Congress that it should be the policy 
     of the United States to support efforts to remove from power 
     the current Iraqi regime and promote the emergence of a 
     democratic government to replace that regime.
       (18) Since on September 12, 2002, President Bush committed 
     the United States to ``work with the United Nations Security 
     Council to meet our common challenge'' posed by Iraq and to 
     ``work for the necessary resolutions,'' while also making 
     clear that ``the Security Council resolutions will be 
     enforced, and the just demands of peace and security will be 
     met, or action will be unavoidable''.
       (19) Since the United States is determined to prosecute the 
     war on terrorism and Iraq's ongoing support for international 
     terrorist groups combined with its development of weapons of 
     mass destruction in direct violation of its obligations under 
     the 1991 cease-fire and other United Nations Security Council 
     resolutions make clear that it is in the national security 
     interests of the United States and in furtherance of the war 
     on terrorism that all relevant United Nations Security 
     Council resolutions be enforced, including through the use of 
     force if necessary.
       (20) Since Congress has taken steps to pursue vigorously 
     the war on terrorism through the provision of authorities and 
     funding requested by the President to take the necessary 
     actions against international terrorists and terrorist 
     organizations, including those nations, organizations or 
     persons who planned, authorized, committed or aided the 
     terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or 
     harbored such persons or organizations.
       (21) Since the President and Congress are determined to 
     continue to take all appropriate actions against 
     international terrorists and terrorist organizations, 
     including those nations, organizations or persons who 
     planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorist attacks 
     that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such persons 
     or organizations.
       (22) Since the President has authority under the 
     Constitution to take action in order to deter and prevent 
     acts of international terrorism against the United States, as 
     Congress recognized in the joint resolution on Authorization 
     for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40).
       (23) Since Congress, under the Constitution, has the sole 
     authority to declare war.

     SEC. 3. SUPPORT FOR UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS.

       The Congress of the United States supports the efforts by 
     the President to--
       (1) strictly enforce through the United Nations Security 
     Council all relevant Security Council resolutions applicable 
     to Iraq and encourages him in those efforts; and
       (2) obtain prompt and decisive action by the Security 
     Council to ensure that Iraq abandons its strategy of delay, 
     evasion, and noncompliance and promptly and strictly complies 
     with all relevant Security Council resolutions.

     SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.

       (a) Authorization.--The President is designated by the 
     Constitution as the Commander in Chief, and is empowered to 
     use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to 
     be necessary and appropriate in order to defend the national 
     security of the United States against an imminent threat 
     posed by Iraq.
       (b) Preparation.--Congress urges the President, as 
     Commander in Chief, to undertake all steps necessary to 
     prepare the Armed Forces of the United States for use against 
     Iraq, if reliance by the United States on further diplomatic 
     or peaceful means alone either--
       (1) will not adequately protect the national security of 
     the United States against the continuing threat posed by 
     Iraq; or
       (2) is not likely to lead to enforcement of all relevant 
     United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq.

     SEC. 5. ADJOURNMENT.

       The One Hundred Seventh Congress shall, upon adjournment 
     sine die, adjourn conditionally, to reconvene immediately if 
     the President requests a declaration of war to be voted upon.
