     SEC. 1664. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE 
                   ATTACKS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) An attack on the United States using an electromagnetic 
     pulse weapon could have devastating effects on critical 
     infrastructure and, over time, could lead to the death of 
     millions of people of the United States.
       (2) The threat of an electromagnetic pulse attack on United 
     States non-military infrastructure remains a serious 
     vulnerability for the United States.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the President should ensure that all relevant Federal 
     agencies have a full understanding of the electromagnetic 
     pulse threat and are prepared for such a contingency;
       (2) the United States Government should formulate and 
     maintain a strategy to prepare and protect United States 
     infrastructure against electromagnetic pulse events, 
     especially attacks by hostile foreign governments, foreign 
     terrorist organizations, or transnational criminal 
     organizations; and
       (3) relevant Federal agencies should conduct outreach to 
     educate owners and operators of critical infrastructure, 
     emergency planners, and emergency responders at all levels of 
     government about the threat of electromagnetic pulse attack.
