     temporary or of longer duration; and further excepting that 
     ``appropriate committees of Congress'' shall include the 
     Subcommittees on Military Construction of the Committees on

       Sec. 315. Commending the Armed Forces for Efforts in 
     Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. (a) 
     Purpose.--Recognizing and commending the members of the 
     United States Armed Forces and their leaders, and the allies 
     of the United States and their armed forces, who participated 
     in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation 
     Iraqi Freedom in Iraq and recognizing the continuing 
     dedication of military families and employers and defense 
     civilians and contractors and the countless communities and 
     patriotic organizations that lent their support to the Armed 
     Forces during those operations.
       (b) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United 
     States, which killed thousands of people from the United 
     States and other countries in New York, Virginia, and 
     Pennsylvania, inaugurated the Global War on Terrorism;
       (2) the intelligence community quickly identified Al Qaeda 
     as a terrorist organization with global reach and the 
     President determined that United States national security 
     required the elimination of the Al Qaeda terrorist 
     organization;
       (3) the Taliban regime of Afghanistan had long harbored Al 
     Qaeda, providing members of that organization a safe haven 
     from which to attack the United States and its friends and 
     allies, and the refusal of that regime to discontinue its 
     support for international terrorism and surrender Al Qaeda's 
     leaders to the United States made it a threat to 
     international peace and security;
       (4) Saddam Hussein and his regime's longstanding 
     sponsorship of international terrorism, active pursuit of 
     weapons of mass destruction, use of such weapons against 
     Iraq's own citizens and neighboring countries, aggression 
     against Iraq's neighbors, and brutal repression of Iraq's 
     population made Saddam Hussein and his regime a threat to 
     international peace and security;
       (5) the United States pursued sustained diplomatic, 
     political, and economic efforts to remove those threats 
     peacefully;
       (6) on October 7, 2001, the Armed Forces of the United 
     States and its coalition allies launched military operations 
     in Afghanistan, designated as Operation Enduring Freedom, 
     that quickly caused the collapse of the Taliban regime, the 
     elimination of Afghanistan's terrorist infrastructure, and 
     the capture of significant and numerous members of Al Qaeda;
       (7) on March 19, 2003, the Armed Forces of the United 
     States and its coalition allies launched military operations, 
     designated as Operation Iraqi Freedom, that quickly caused 
     the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime, the elimination of 
     Iraq's terrorist infrastructure, the end of Iraq's illicit 
     and illegal programs to acquire weapons of mass destruction, 
     and the capture of significant international terrorists;
       (8) in those two campaigns in the Global War on Terrorism, 
     as of September 27, 2003, nearly 165,000 members of the 
     United States Armed Forces, comprised of active, reserve, and 
     National Guard members and units, had mobilized for Operation 
     Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom;
       (9) success in those two campaigns in the Global War on 
     Terrorism would not have been possible without the 
     dedication, courage, and service of the members of the United 
     States Armed Forces and the military and irregular forces of 
     the friends and allies of the United States;
       (10) the support, love, and commitment from the families of 
     United States service personnel participating in those two 
     operations, as well as that of the communities and patriotic 
     organizations which provided support through the United 
     Services Organization (USO), Operation Dear Abby, and 
     Operation UpLink, helped to sustain those service personnel 
     and enabled them to eliminate significant threats to United 
     States national security while liberating oppressed peoples 
     from dictatorial regimes;
       (11) the civilian employees of the Department of Defense, 
     through their hard work and dedication, enabled United States 
     military forces to quickly and effectively achieve the United 
     States military missions in Afghanistan and Iraq;
       (12) the commitment of companies making their employees 
     available for military service, the creativity and initiative 
     of contractors equipping the Nation's Armed Forces with the 
     best and most modern equipment, and the ingenuity of service 
     companies assisting with the global overseas deployment of 
     the Armed Forces demonstrates that the entrepreneurial spirit 
     of the United States is an extraordinarily valuable defense 
     asset; and
       (13) the Nation should pause to recognize with appropriate 
     tributes and days of remembrance the sacrifice of those 
     members of the Armed Forces who died or were wounded in 
     Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, as 
     well as all who served in or supported either of those 
     operations.
       (c) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the Senate--
       (1) conveys its deepest sympathy and condolences to the 
     families and friends of the members of United States and 
     coalition forces who have been injured, wounded, or killed 
     during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi 
     Freedom;
       (2) commends President George W. Bush, Secretary of Defense 
     Donald H. Rumsfeld, and United States Central Command 
     commander General Tommy Franks, United States Army, for their 
     planning and execution of enormously successful military 
     campaigns in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi 
     Freedom;
       (3) expresses its highest commendation and most sincere 
     appreciation to the members of the United States Armed Forces 
     who participated in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation 
     Iraqi Freedom;
       (4) commends the Department of Defense civilian employees 
     and the defense contractor personnel whose skills made 
     possible the equipping of the greatest armed force in the 
     annals of modern military endeavor;
       (5) supports the efforts of communities across the Nation--
       (A) to prepare appropriate homecoming ceremonies to honor 
     and welcome home the members of the Armed Forces 
     participating in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation 
     Iraqi Freedom and to recognize their contributions to United 
     States homeland security and to the Global War on Terrorism; 
     and
       (B) to prepare appropriate ceremonies to commemorate with 
     tributes and days of remembrance the service and sacrifice of 
     those service members killed or wounded during those 
     operations;
       (6) expresses the deep gratitude of the Nation to the 21 
     steadfast allies in Operation Enduring Freedom and to the 49 
     coalition members in Operation Iraqi Freedom, especially the 
     United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland, whose forces, support, 
     and contributions were invaluable and unforgettable; and
       (7) recommits the United States to ensuring the safety of 
     the United States homeland, to preventing weapons of mass 
     destruction from reaching the hands of terrorists, and to 
     helping the people of Iraq and Afghanistan build free and 
     vibrant democratic societies.
       Sec. 316. (a) In addition to other purposes for which funds 
     in the Iraq Freedom Fund are available, such funds shall also 
     be available for reimbursing a member of the Armed Forces for 
     the cost of air fare incurred by the member for any travel by 
     the member within the United States that is commenced during 
     fiscal year 2003 or fiscal year 2004 and is completed during 
     either such fiscal year while the member is on rest and 
     recuperation leave from deployment overseas in support of 
     Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, but 
     only for one round trip by air between two locations within 
     the United States.
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that the commercial airline 
     industry should, to the maximum extent practicable, charge 
     members of the Armed Forces on rest and recuperation leave as 
     described in subsection (a) and their families specially 
     discounted, lowest available fares for air travel in 
     connection with such leave and that any restrictions and 
     limitations imposed by the airlines in connection with the 
     air fares charged for such travel should be minimal.
       Sec. 317. (a) Section 1074a of title 10, United States 
     Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(f)(1) At any time after the Secretary concerned notifies 
     members of the Ready Reserve that the members are to be 
     called or ordered to active duty, the administering 
     Secretaries may provide to each such member any medical and

     under paragraph (1) may not be charged for the screening or 
     care.
       ``(4) Screening and care may not be provided under this 
     section after September 30, 2004.''.
       (b) The benefits provided under the amendment made by 
     subsection (a) shall be provided only within funds available 
     under this Act.

     Findings.--The Senate finds that:
       (1) The Coalition Provisional Authority states that 80

     returning to a normal pace of life, while 20 percent is less 
     permissive with entrenched Saddam loyalists, international 
     terrorists and general lawlessness hindering recovery 
     efforts.
       (2) On September 9, Deputy Secretary of Defense John 
     Wolfowitz testified, ``. . . the predominantly Shia south [of 
     Iraq] has been stable and I would say far more stable than 
     most pre-war predications would have given you. And the mixed 
     Arab, Turkish, Kurdish north has also been remarkably stable, 
     again, contrary to fears that many of us had that we might 
     face large-scale ethnic conflict.''.
       (3) On September 14, Secretary of State Colin Powell 
     stated, ``We see attacks against our coalition on a daily 
     basis . . . but in many parts of the country things are quite 
     secure and stable.''.
       (4) The Coalition Provisional Authority states that a major 
     focus of its security efforts has been to increase Iraqi 
     participation in and responsibility for a safe and secure 
     Iraq.

     stated, ``90 percent of the people in Iraq are now living in 
     an area that's governed by a city council, or a village 
     council.''.
       (6) The Coalition Provisional Authority reports that 60,000 
     Iraqis are now assisting in security, including 46,000 Iraqi 
     police nationwide.
       (7) Of the 160,000 coalition military personnel serving in 
     Iraq, 20,000 are comprised of non-United States forces.
       (b) Report.--Beginning 30 days after the enactment of this 
     Act, the President or his designee shall submit a monthly 
     report to Congress detailing--
       (1) the areas of Iraq determined to be largely secure and 
     stable; and
       (2) the extent to which United States troops have been 
     replaced by non-United States coalition forces, United Nation 
     forces, or Iraqi forces in the areas determined to be largely 
     secure and stable under this subsection.

       Sec. 325. (a) Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) During Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert 
     Storm (in this section, collectively referred to as the 
     ``First Gulf War''), the regime of Saddam Hussein committed 
     grave human rights abuses and acts of terrorism against the 
     people of Iraq and citizens of the United States.
       (2) United States citizens who were taken prisoner by the 
     regime of Saddam Hussein during the First Gulf War were 
     brutally tortured and forced to endure severe physical trauma 
     and emotional abuse.
       (3) The regime of Saddam Hussein used civilian citizens of 
     the United States who were working in the Persian Gulf region 
     before and during the First Gulf War as so-called human 
     shields, threatening the personal safety and emotional well-
     being of such civilians.
       (4) Congress has recognized and authorized the right of 
     United States citizens, including prisoners of war, to hold 
     terrorist states, such as Iraq during the regime of Saddam 
     Hussein, liable for injuries caused by such states.
       (5) The United States district courts are authorized to 
     adjudicate cases brought by individuals injured by terrorist 
     states.
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) notwithstanding section 1503 of the Emergency Wartime 
     Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003 (Public Law 108-11; 117 
     Stat. 579) and any other provision of law, a citizen of the 
     United States who was a prisoner of war or who was used by 
     the regime of Saddam Hussein and by Iraq as a so-called human 
     shield during the First Gulf War should have the opportunity 
     to have any claim for damages caused by the regime of Saddam 
     Hussein and by Iraq incurred by such citizen fully 
     adjudicated in the appropriate United States district court;
       (2) any judgment for such damages awarded to such citizen, 
     or the family of such citizen, should be fully enforced; and
       (3) the Attorney General should enter into negotiations 
     with each such citizen, or the family of each such citizen, 
     to develop a fair and reasonable method of providing 
     compensation for the damages each such citizen incurred, 
     including using assets of the regime of Saddam Hussein held 
     by the Government of the United States or any other 
     appropriate sources to provide such compensation.
       Sec. 326. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) The National Guard and Reserves have served the Nation 
     in times of national crises for more than 200 years. The 
     National Guard and Reserves are a critical component of 
     homeland security and national defense.
       (2) The current deployments of many members of the National 
     Guard and Reserve have made them absent from their 
     communities for an abnormally long time. This has diminished 
     the ability of the National Guard to conduct its State 
     missions.
       (3) Many members of the National Guard and Reserves have 
     been on active duty for more than a year, and many more have 
     had their tours of active duty involuntarily extended while 
     overseas.
       (b) Report on Utilization of National Guard and Reserves.--
     (1) Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the

     Representatives a report on the utilization of the National 
     Guard and Reserves in support of contingency operations 
     during fiscal year 2004.
       (2) The report under this subsection shall include the 
     following:
       (A) Information on each National Guard and Reserve unit 
     currently deployed, including--
       (i) the unit name or designation;
       (ii) the number of personnel deployed;
       (iii) the projected return date to home station; and
       (iv) the schedule, if any, for the replacement of the unit 
     with a Regular or multinational unit.
       (B) Information on current operations tempo, including--
       (i) the length of deployment of each National Guard and 
     Reserve unit currently deployed, organized by unit and by 
     State;
       (ii) in the case of each National Guard and Reserve unit on 
     active duty during the two-year period ending on the date of 
     the report, the aggregate amount of time on active duty 
     during such two-year period; and
       (iii) the percentage of National Guard and Reserve forces 
     in the total deployed force in each current domestic and 
     overseas contingency operation.
       (C) Information on current recruitment and retention of 
     National Guard and Reserve personnel, including--
       (i) any shortfalls in recruitment and retention;
       (ii) any plans to address such shortfalls or otherwise to 
     improve recruitment or retention; and
       (iii) the effects on recruitment and retention over the 
     long term of extended periods of activation of National Guard 
     or Reserve personnel.
       (3) The report under this subsection shall be organized in 
     a format that permits a ready assessment of the deployment of 
     the National Guard and Reserves by State, by various 
     geographic regions of the United States, and by Armed Force.
       (c) Report on Effects of Utilization of National Guard and 
     Reserves on Law Enforcement and Homeland Security.--(1) Not 
     later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, in 
     consultation with the chief executive officers of the States, 
     submit to Congress a report on the effects of the deployment 
     of the National Guard and Reserves on law enforcement and 
     homeland security in the United States.
       (2) The report under this subsection shall include the 
     following:
       (A) The number of civilian first responders on active duty 
     with the National Guard or Reserves who are currently 
     deployed overseas.
       (B) The number of first responder personnel of the National 
     Guard or Reserves who are currently deployed overseas.
       (C) An assessment by State of the ability of the States to 
     respond to emergencies without currently deployed National 
     Guard personnel.
       Sec. 327. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following

     Congress a comprehensive written report on the status of the 
     efforts of the Iraq Survey Group to account for the programs 
     of Iraq on weapons of mass destruction and related delivery 
     systems.
       (c) Form of Report.--Each report required by subsection (b) 
     shall be submitted in both classified and unclassified form.
       (d) Appropriate Committees of Congress Defined.--In this 
     section, the term ``appropriate committees of Congress'' 
     means--
       (1) the Select Committee on Intelligence and the 
     Subcommittee on Defense of the Committee on Appropriations of 
     the Senate; and
       (2) the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the

     this section and ending September 30, 2004.
       Sec. 333. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) That on October 7, 2001, the Armed Forces of the United 
     States and its coalition allies launched military operations 
     in Afghanistan, designated as Operation Enduring Freedom, 
     that quickly caused the collapse of the Taliban regime, the 
     elimination of Afghanistan's terrorist infrastructure and the 
     capture of significant and numerous members of Al Qaeda.
       (2) That on March 19, 2003, the Armed Forces of the United 
     States and its coalition allies launched military operations, 
     designated as Operation Iraqi Freedom, that quickly caused 
     the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime, the elimination of 
     Iraq's terrorist infrastructure, the end of Iraq's illicit 
     and illegal programs to acquire weapons of mass destruction, 
     and the capture of significant international terrorists.
       (3) That success in those two campaigns in the Global War 
     on Terrorism would not have been possible without the 
     dedication, courage, and service of the members of the United 
     States Armed Forces and their coalition partners.
       (4) That throughout the proud military history of our 
     Nation, we have recognized our brave men and women of the 
     Armed Forces by awarding them service medals for personal 
     bravery and other leadership actions and for their service in 
     military operations abroad and for support operations at home 
     and abroad.
       (5) That historically the President has relied on senior 
     military officers to recommend the personal and theater 
     campaign medals and that, in keeping with these longstanding 
     traditions, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the combatant 
     commanders, including General Tommy Franks, United States 
     Army, former Commander of the United States Central Command, 
     recommended the awards described below in recognition of the 
     worldwide nature of the current conflict.
       (6) That following the advice of his senior military and 
     civilian defense leaders, President Bush, by Executive Order 
     13289 on March 12, 2003, established the Global War on 
     Terrorism Expeditionary Medal to be awarded to service 
     members who serve in military operations to combat terrorism 
     on or after September 11, 2001, including, but not limited to 
     actions in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi 
     Freedom, in such locations as Afghanistan, Iraq, the Republic 
     of the Philippines, and elsewhere in Southwest Asia, in 
     recognition of the sacrifice and contributions military 
     members make in the global war on terrorism.
       (7) That eligibility for the Global War on Terrorism 
     Expeditionary Medal is predicated on deployment abroad for 30 
     days or more in support of Global War on Terrorism operations 
     on or after September 11, 2001.
       (8) That by the same Executive Order, the President 
     established the Global War on Terrorism Service Medical 
     recognizing duty in Operation Noble Eagle and the homeland 
     defense mission against further terrorist attacks, and which 
     recognizes duty in support of military operations performed 
     in areas that do not qualify for the Global War on Terrorism 
     Expeditionary Medal.
       (9) That implementing regulations for eligibility have not 
     been issued by the Secretary of Defense.
       (b) Sense of the Senate on the Award of Campaign Medal.--It 
     is the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of Defense 
     should, on an expedited basis, issue the necessary 
     regulations to implement these awards and ensure that any 
     person who renders qualifying service with the Armed Forces 
     in those phases of the Global War on Terrorism including 
     Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and 
     Operation Noble Eagle should promptly receive these awards.
       Sec. 334. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
     Federal share of the cost of any disaster relief payment made 
     under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
     Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) for damage caused by 
     Hurricane Isabel shall be 90 percent.
       Sec. 335. Of the funds appropriated by this Act, 
     $500,000,000 shall be available for repair or replacement of 
     Department of Defense and National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration infrastructure damaged or destroyed by 
     Hurricane Isabel, related flooding, or other related natural

     in House Concurrent Resolution 95, the concurrent resolution 
     on the budget for fiscal year 2004, is transmitted by the 
     President to the Congress.

     in this amendment shall expire upon the date that major 
     combat operations in Iraq cease and desist, the Coalition 
     Provisional Authority transfers responsibility for governing

     Iraq, under the direction and guidance of the Secretary of 
     State, is responsible for U.S. assistance efforts in Iraq.
       Sec. 2314. Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to Congress 
     a report on the efforts of the Government of the United 
     States to increase the resources contributed by foreign 
     countries and international organizations to the 
     reconstruction of Iraq and the feasibility of repayment of 
     funds contributed for infrastructure projects in Iraq. The 
     report shall include--
       (1) a description of efforts by the Government of the 
     United States to increase the resources contributed by 
     foreign countries and international organizations to the 
     reconstruction of Iraq;
       (2) an accounting of the funds contributed to assist in the 
     reconstruction of Iraq, disaggre-
     gated by donor;
       (3) an assessment of the effect that--
       (A) the bilateral debts incurred during the regime of 
     Saddam Hussein have on Iraq's ability to finance essential 
     programs to rebuild infrastructure and restore critical 
     public services, including health care and education, in 
     Iraq; and
       (B) forgiveness of such debts would have on the 
     reconstruction and long-term prosperity in Iraq;
       (4) a description of any commitment by a foreign country or 
     international organization to forgive any part of a debt owed 
     by Iraq if such debt was incurred during the regime of Saddam 
     Hussein; and
       (5) an assessment of the feasibility of repayment by Iraq--
       (A) of bilateral debts incurred during the regime of Saddam 
     Hussein; and
       (B) of the funds contributed by the United States to 
     finance infrastructure projects in Iraq.
       Sec. 2315. (a) Not later than April 30, 2004, the Secretary 
     of Defense shall submit a certification to Congress of the 
     amount that Iraq will pay, or that will be paid on behalf of 
     Iraq, during fiscal year 2004 to a foreign country to service 
     a debt incurred by Iraq during the regime of Saddam Hussein, 
     including any amount used for the payment of principal, 
     interest, or fees associated with such debt. Such 
     certification shall include--
       (1) the actual amount spent for such purpose during the 
     period from October 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004; and
       (2) the estimated amount that the Secretary reasonably 
     believes will be used for such purpose during the period from 
     April 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004.
       (b) On May 1, 2004, the Director of the Office of 
     Management and Budget shall administratively reserve, out of 
     the unobligated balance of the funds appropriated in this 
     title under the subheading ``Iraq Relief and Reconstruction 
     Fund'' under the heading ``OTHER BILATERAL ECONOMIC 
     ASSISTANCE FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT'', the amount 
     that is equal to the sum of the amount certified under 
     paragraph (1) of subsection (a) and the estimated amount 
     certified under paragraph (2) of such subsection. The amount 
     so reserved may not be obligated or expended on or after such 
     date.
       (c) The Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
     shall impose such restrictions and conditions as the Director 
     determines necessary to ensure that, in the apportionment of 
     amounts appropriated as described in subsection (b), the 
     balance of the total amount so appropriated that remains 
     unobligated on May 1, 2004, exceeds the amount that is to be 
     reserved under subsection (b).
       (d) It is the sense of Congress that each country that is 
     owed a debt by Iraq that was incurred during the regime of 
     Saddam Hussein should forgive such debt, including any amount 
     owed by Iraq for the principal, interest, and fees associated 
     with such debt.
       Sec. 2316. (a) Congress finds that--
       (1) in a speech delivered to the United Nations on 
     September 23, 2003, President George W. Bush appealed to the 
     international community to take action to make the world a 
     safer and better place;
       (2) in that speech, President Bush emphasized the 
     responsibility of the international community to help the 
     people of Iraq rebuild their country into a free and 
     democratic state;
       (3) for a plan for Iraq's future to be appropriate, the 
     provisions of that plan must be consistent with the best 
     interests of the Iraqi people;
       (4) premature self-government could make the Iraqi state 
     inherently weak and could serve as an invitation for 
     terrorists to sabotage the development of a democratic, 
     economically prosperous Iraq.
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) arbitrary deadlines should not be set for the 
     dissolution of the Coalition Provisional Authority or the 
     transfer of its authority to an Iraqi governing authority; 
     and
       (2) no such dissolution or transfer of authority should 
     occur until the ratification of an Iraqi constitution and the 
     establishment of an elected government in Iraq.
       Sec. 2317. General Accounting Office Review. (a) The 
     Comptroller General of the United States shall--
       (1) review the effectiveness of relief and reconstruction 
     activities conducted by the Coalition Provisional Authority 
     (hereafter in this section ``CPA'') from funds made available 
     under the ``Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund'' in this 
     title, including by providing analyses of--
       (A) the degree to which the CPA is meeting the relief and 
     reconstruction goals and objectives in the major sectors 
     funded under this title, and is enhancing indigenous 
     capabilities;
       (B) compliance by the CPA and the Government departments 
     with Federal laws governing competition in contracting; and
       (C) the degree to which the CPA is expending funds 
     economically and efficiently, including through use of local 
     contractors;
       (2) report quarterly to the appropriate congressional 
     committees on the results of the review conducted under 
     paragraph (1).
       (b) In this section, the term ``appropriate congressional 
     committees'' means--
       (1) the Committees on Appropriations, Armed Services, and 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate; and
       (2) the Committees on Appropriations, Armed Services, and 
     International Relations of the House of Representatives.
       Sec. 2318. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
     available by this Act under the heading ``Iraq Relief and 
     Reconstruction Fund'', or under any other heading, may be 
     obligated or expended for the purpose of arming, training, or 
     employing individuals under the age of 18 years for the 
     Facilities Protection Service, to carry out any function 
     similar to the functions performed by the Service, or for any 
     other security force.
       Sec. 2319. (a) Of the amounts appropriated under the 
     subheading ``Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund''--
       (1) the $5,136,000,000 allocated for security, including 
     public safety requirements, national security, and justice 
     shall be used to rebuild Iraq's security services;
       (2) $5,168,000,000 shall be available for the purposes, 
     other than security, set out under such subheading; and
       (3) $10,000,000,000 shall be available to the President to 
     use as loans to Iraq for the purposes, other than security, 
     set out under such

[[Page 25236]]

     subheading until the date on which the President submits the 
     certification described in subsection (c).
       (b) The President shall submit a notification to Congress 
     if, of the amounts referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2) of 
     subsection (a), an amount in excess of $250,000,000 is used 
     for any single purpose in Iraq.
       (c)(1) The certification referred to in subsection (a)(3) 
     is a certification submitted to Congress by the President 
     stating that not less than 90 percent of the total amount of 
     the bilateral debt incurred by the regime of Saddam Hussein 
     has been forgiven by the countries owed such debt.
       (2) On the date that the President submits the 
     certification described in paragraph (1)--
       (A) the unobligated balance of the $10,000,000,000 referred 
     to in subsection (a)(3) may be obligated and expended with no 
     requirement that such amount be provided as loans to Iraq; 
     and
       (B) the President may waive repayment of any amount made as 
     a loan under subsection (a)(3) prior to such date.
       (d) The head of the Coalition Provisional Authority shall 
     ensure that the amounts appropriated under the subheading 
     ``Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund'', are expended, 
     whether by the United States or by the Governing Counsel in 
     Iraq, for the purposes set out under such subheading and in a 
     manner that the head of the Coalition Provisional Authority 
     does not find objectionable.
       (e) It is the sense of Congress that each country that is 
     owed bilateral debt by Iraq that was incurred by the regime 
     of Saddam Hussein should--
       (1) forgive such debt; and
       (2) provide robust amounts of reconstruction aid to Iraq 
     during the conference of donors scheduled to begin on October 
     23, 2003, in Madrid, Spain and during other conferences of 
     donors of foreign aid.
       (f) In this section:
       (1) The term ``amounts appropriated under the subheading 
     `Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund''' means the amounts 
     appropriated by chapter 2 of this title under the subheading

     THE PRESIDENT''.
       (2) The term ``Coalition Provisional Authority'' means the 
     entity charged by the President with directing reconstruction

       Sec. 2320. (a) Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) A coalition of allied countries led by the United 
     States entered Iraq on March 19, 2003, to liberate the people 
     of Iraq from the tyrannical rule of Saddam Hussein and the 
     Baathist party and to remove a threat to global security and 
     stability.
       (2) Achieving stability in Iraq will require substantial 
     monetary investments to develop a secure environment and 
     improve the physical infrastructure.
       (3) A stable and prosperous Iraq is important to peace and 
     economic development in the Middle East and elsewhere.
       (4) As of October 2003, the United States has provided the 
     majority of the personnel and financial contributions to the 
     effort to rebuild Iraq.
       (5) Congress fully supports efforts to establish a stable 
     economic, social, and political environment in Iraq.
       (6) The President is currently seeking to increase global 
     participation in the effort to stabilize and reconstruct 
     Iraq.
       (7) While the United States should aid the people of Iraq, 
     the participation of the people of Iraq in the reconstruction 
     effort is essential for the success of such effort.
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that the President should--
       (1) make every effort to increase the level of financial 
     commitment from other nations to improve the physical, 
     political, economic, and social infrastructure of Iraq; and
       (2) seek to provide aid from the United States to Iraq in a 
     manner that promotes economic growth in Iraq and limits the 
     long-term cost to taxpayers in the United States.
       Sec. 2321. (a) Initial Report on Relief and 
     Reconstruction.--Not later than 60 days after the date of

     of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The report shall include 
     information on the following:

     Department of Defense.
       (2) A plan describing the roles and responsibilities of 
     foreign governments and international organizations, 
     including the United Nations, in carrying out such

     secure increased international participation in peacekeeping 
     and security efforts in Iraq.
       (5) A comprehensive strategy for completing the 
     reconstruction of Iraq, estimated timelines for the 
     completion of significant reconstruction milestones, and 
     estimates for Iraqi oil production.
       (b) Subsequent Reports on Relief and Reconstruction.--(1)

     obligations to disclose United States Government information 
     under any other provision of law.
       (g) In this section--
       (1) the term ``full and open competition'' has the meaning

     Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 403);
       (2) the term ``executive agency'' has the meaning given

       Sec. 5004. (a) Congress finds that--
       (1) Israel is a strategic ally of the United States in the 
     Middle East;
       (2) Israel recognizes the benefits of a democratic form of 
     government;
       (3) the policies and activities of the Government of Iraq 
     under the Saddam Hussein regime contributed to security 
     concerns in the Middle East, especially for Israel;
       (4) the Arab Liberation Front was established by Iraqi 
     Baathists, and supported by Saddam Hussein;
       (5) the Government of Iraq under the Saddam Hussein regime 
     assisted the Arab Liberation Front in distributing grants to 
     the families of suicide bombers;
       (6) the Government of Iraq under the Saddam Hussein regime 
     aided Abu Abass, leader of the Palestinian Liberation Front, 
     who was a mastermind of the hijacking of the Achille Lauro, 
     an Italian cruise ship, and is responsible for the death of 
     an American tourist aboard that ship; and
       (7) Saddam Hussein attacked Israel during the 1990-1991 
     Persian Gulf War by launching 39 Scud missiles into that 
     country and thereby causing multiple casualties.
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that the removal of the 
     Government of Iraq under Saddam Hussein enhanced the security 
     of Israel and other United States allies.
       Sec. 5005. (a) The Comptroller General shall conduct 
     studies on the effectiveness and efficiency of the 
     administration and performance of contracts in excess of 
     $40,000,000 that are performed or are to be performed in, or 
     relating to, Iraq and are paid out of funds made available 
     under this Act or the Emergency Wartime Supplemental 
     Appropriations Act, 2003 (Public Law 108-11). The studies 
     shall specifically examine the profits, administrative 
     overhead, management fees, and related expenditures for the 
     management of subcontracts (and further subcontracting) under 
     any such contract. In conducting studies under this section, 
     the Comptroller General shall have access to any information 
     and records created or maintained by the United States, or by 
     any entity receiving funds for contracts studied under this 
     section that the Comptroller General considers appropriate.
       (b) Not later than 6 months after the date of enactment of 
     this Act and again 4 months thereafter, the Comptroller 
     Government shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations 
     of the Senate and the House of Representatives a report that 
     includes--
       (1) an evaluation of the studies conducted under this 
     section; and
       (2) any recommendations for the improvement of the 
     contracting process for contracts performed or to be 
     performed in Iraq and for contracts generally, including the 
     selection process, contract content, and oversight of the 
     administration and performance of contracts.
       Sec. 5006. Section 1605 of title 28, United States Code, is 
     amended by adding a new subsection (h) as follows:
       ``(h) Notwithstanding any provision of the Algiers Accords, 
     or any other international agreement, any United States 
     citizen held hostage during the period between 1979 and 1981, 
     and their spouses and children at the time, shall have a 
     claim for money damages against a foreign state for personal 
     injury that was caused by the foreign state's act of torture 
     or hostage taking. Any provision in an international 
     agreement, including the Algiers Accords that purports to bar 
     such suit is abrogated. This subsection shall apply 
     retroactively to any cause of action cited in section 
     1605(a)(7)(A) of title 28, United States Code.''.
       Sec. 5007. (a) The Senate finds the following:
       (1) When Saddam Hussein came to power in the 1970's Iraq 
     was a prosperous county with no foreign debt and significant 
     foreign cash reserves.
       (2) Iraq's reserves were exhausted during the Iran-Iraq War 
     in the 1980's and Iraq became a debtor nation.
       (3) Today, the debts incurred by Saddam Hussein's regime 
     are estimated to be as much as $150,000,000,000.
       (4) A process has been put in place that will establish a 
     new representative Iraqi government based on a democratic 
     political system with a free market economy. The goal is a 
     prosperous Iraq that is not a threat to its neighbors.
       (5) For Iraq to be prosperous it must rebuild. In the near 
     term the United States and other donor countries will provide 
     grants to begin the process. In the longer term Iraq must be 
     able to fully participate in the international financial 
     system.
       (6) It is impossible for Iraq to borrow funds in 
     international financial markets based on its existing debt. 
     Eliminating that debt will make possible Iraq's continued 
     rebuilding toward a prosperous and stable nation. A 
     prosperous nation is less likely to be a threat to its 
     neighbors and to be a breeding ground for terrorists. A 
     prosperous Iraq is more likely to be a positive force in the 
     region and participant in the world economy.
       (b) It is the sense of the Senate that all countries that 
     hold debt from loans to the former Iraqi regime of Saddam 
     Hussein should be urged to forgive their debt.
       Sec. 5008. (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) in May 2002, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) 
     issued a warning to law enforcement personnel to be alert to 
     the potential use of shoulder-fired missiles against United 
     States aircraft;
       (2) in May 2002, Al Qaeda was suspected of firing a 
     shoulder-fired missile at United States military aircraft 
     near Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia;
       (3) in November 2002, an Israeli commercial jetliner was 
     fired upon by a shoulder-fired missile shortly after take-off 
     in Mombasa, Kenya;
       (4) in August 2003, a weapons smuggler was arrested after 
     agreeing to sell a Russian SA-18 to an undercover FBI agent 
     posing as a Muslim extremist;
       (5) during recent operations in Iraq, United States 
     commercial airlines--as part of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet 
     (CRAF)--flew nearly 2,000 flights carrying United States 
     troops and supplies into Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United 
     Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Bahrain;
       (6) no United States commercial airliners are currently 
     equipped with defenses against shoulder-fired missiles.
       (b) Prioritization.--When counter measures against the 
     threat of shoulder-fired missiles are deployed, the Secretary 
     of Homeland Security, in conjunction with the Secretary of 
     Defense and the Secretary of Transportation, shall make it a 
     priority to equip the aircraft enrolled in the Civil Reserve 
     Air Fleet.
