  SA 3807. Mr. McCAIN (for himself and Mr. Leiberman) proposed an 
amendment to the bill S. 2845, to reform the intelligence community and 
the intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United 
States Government, and for other purposes; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     TITLE __--TERRORIST TRAVEL AND EFFECTIVE SCREENING

     SEC. __01. COUNTERTERRORIST TRAVEL INTELLIGENCE.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Travel documents are as important to terrorists as 
     weapons since terrorists must travel clandestinely to meet, 
     train, plan, case targets, and gain access to attack sites.
       (2) International travel is dangerous for terrorists 
     because they must surface to pass through regulated channels, 
     present themselves to border security officials, or attempt 
     to circumvent inspection points.
       (3) Terrorists use evasive, but detectable, methods to 
     travel, such as altered and counterfeit passports and visas, 
     specific travel methods and routes, liaisons with corrupt 
     government officials, human smuggling networks, supportive 
     travel agencies, and immigration and identity fraud.
       (4) Before September 11, 2001, no Federal agency 
     systematically analyzed terrorist travel strategies. If an 
     agency had done so, the agency could have discovered the ways 
     in which the terrorist predecessors to al Qaeda had been 
     systematically, but detectably, exploiting weaknesses in our 
     border security since the early 1990s.
       (5) Many of the hijackers were potentially vulnerable to 
     interception by border authorities. Analyzing their 
     characteristic travel documents and travel patterns could 
     have allowed authorities to intercept some of the hijackers 
     and a more effective use of information available in 
     Government databases could have identified some of the 
     hijackers.
       (6) The routine operations of our immigration laws and the 
     aspects of those laws not specifically aimed at protecting 
     against terrorism inevitably shaped al Qaeda's planning and

     SEC. __04. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress finds that--
       (1) existing procedures allow many individuals to enter the 
     United States by showing minimal identification or without 
     showing any identification;
       (2) the planning for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 
     2001, demonstrates that terrorists study and exploit United 
     States vulnerabilities; and
       (3) additional safeguards are needed to ensure that 
     terrorists cannot enter the United States.
       (b) Biometric Passports.--
       (1) Development of plan.--The Secretary of State, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, shall 
     develop and implement a plan as expeditiously as possible to 
     require biometric passports or other identification deemed by 
     the Secretary of State to be at least as secure as a 
     biometric passport, for all travel into the United States by 
     United States citizens and by categories of individuals for 
     whom documentation requirements have previously been waived 
     under section 212(d)(4)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality 
     Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(4)(B)).
       (2) Requirement to produce documentation.--The plan 
     developed under paragraph (1) shall require all United States 
     citizens, and categories of individuals for whom 
     documentation requirements have previously been waived under 
     section 212(d)(4)(B) of such Act, to carry and produce the 
     documentation described in paragraph (1) when traveling from 
     foreign countries into the United States.
       (c) Technical and Conforming Amendments.--After the 
     complete implementation of the plan described in subsection 
     (b)--
       (1) neither the Secretary of State nor the Secretary of 
     Homeland Security may exercise discretion under section 
     212(d)(4)(B) of such Act to waive documentary requirements 
     for travel into the United States; and
       (2) the President may not exercise discretion under section 
     215(b) of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1185(b)) to waive documentary 
     requirements for United States citizens departing from or 
     entering, or attempting to depart from or enter, the United 
     States except--
       (A) where the Secretary of State, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security, determines that the 
     alternative documentation that is the basis for the waiver of 
     the documentary requirement is at least as secure as a 
     biometric passport;
       (B) in the case of an unforeseen emergency in individual 
     cases; or
       (C) in the case of humanitarian or national interest 
     reasons in individual cases.
       (d) Transit Without Visa Program.--The Secretary of State

     implements a security plan to fully ensure secure transit 
     passage areas to prevent aliens proceeding in immediate and 
     continuous transit through the United States from illegally 
     entering the United States.

     Congress finds that--
       (1) the exchange of terrorist information with other 
     countries, consistent with privacy requirements, along with 
     listings of lost and stolen passports, will have immediate 
     security benefits; and
       (2) the further away from the borders of the United States 
     that screening occurs, the more security benefits the United 
     States will gain.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States Government should exchange terrorist 
     information with trusted allies;
       (2) the United States Government should move toward real-
     time verification of passports with issuing authorities;
       (3) where practicable the United States Government should 
     conduct screening before a passenger departs on a flight 
     destined for the United States;
       (4) the United States Government should work with other 
     countries to ensure effective inspection regimes at all 
     airports;
       (5) the United States Government should work with other 
     countries to improve passport standards and provide foreign 
     assistance to countries that need help making the transition 
     to the global standard for identification; and
       (6) the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination 
     with the Department of State and other agencies, should 
     implement the initiatives called for in this subsection.
       (c) Report Regarding the Exchange of Terrorist 
     Information.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of

     2008, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation 
     with the Secretary of State, shall establish preinspection 
     stations in at least 25 additional foreign airports, which 
     the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of State, determines, based on the data compiled 
     under paragraph (3) and such other information as may be 
     available, would most effectively facilitate the travel of 
     admissible aliens and reduce the number of inadmissible 
     aliens, especially aliens who are potential terrorists, who 
     arrive from abroad by air at points of entry within the 
     United States. Such preinspection stations shall be in 
     addition to those established prior to September 30, 1996, or 
     pursuant to paragraph (1).''.
       (2) Report.--Not later than June 30, 2006, the Secretary of

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON IMPORTANCE OF ATTENDANCE OF 
                   SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE MEETINGS.

       (a) Findings.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the 9/11 Commission concluded that informed and 
     knowledgeable congressional oversight of the intelligence 
     community is crucial to ensure the effective functioning of 
     the Nation's intelligence services;
       (2) to ensure that Representatives and Senators who serve 
     on a congressional Committee on Intelligence develop relevant 
     expertise about the functioning of the intelligence 
     community, the 9/11 Commission recommended, for example, that 
     Congress abolish term limits for Members who serve on these 
     committees;
       (3) it is difficult for Senators who serve on the Select 
     Committee on Intelligence to become informed and 
     knowledgeable about the intelligence field, and thereby 
     develop the requisite expertise in that area, if they do not 
     regularly attend hearings held by the Select Committee on 
     Intelligence; and
       (4) because Senators who are Members of the Select 
     Committee on Intelligence yet do not regularly attend 
     hearings held by the Select Committee on Intelligence are not 
     informed and knowledgeable about the intelligence field, and 
     do not develop the requisite expertise in that area, those 
     Senators fail to discharge their responsibility to oversee 
     the intelligence community.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that those Senators who serve on the Select Committee on 
     Intelligence and who, for a given Congress, miss more than 75 
     percent of the hearings held by the Select Committee on 
     Intelligence, should be ineligible to continue to serve on 
     that committee.

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE THAT THE UNITED STATES IS SAFER.

       (a) Findings.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) as recognized by the 9/11 Commission in its report, 
     since September 11th, 2001, the United States of America and 
     its allies have killed or captured a majority of al Qaeda's 
     leadership; toppled the Taliban, which gave al Qaeda 
     sanctuary in Afghanistan; and severely damaged the 
     organization; and
       (2) since September 11, 2001 Congress has--
       (A) passed, and the President has signed into law, the 
     PATRIOT Act;
       (B) created the Department of Homeland security;
       (C) created the Terrorist Threat Integration Center;
       (D) created the Transportation Safety Administration;
       (E) reorganized the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and
       (F) signed the Smart Border Declaration,
     just to name 6 offensive measures, all with the goal of 
     making America safer and protecting our citizens in this 
     global war on terrorism.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the 9/11 Commission Report was correct in its assessment 
     that the United States of America is safer today than it was 
     before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

     Homeland Security compares information about passengers who 
     are to be carried aboard a cruise ship with a comprehensive, 
     consolidated database containing information about known or 
     suspected terrorists and their associates; and
       (2) use the information obtained by comparing the passenger 
     information with the information in the database to prevent 
     known or suspected terrorists and their associates from 
     boarding such vessels or to subject them to specific 
     additional security scrutiny, through the use of ``no 
     transport'' and ``automatic selectee'' lists or other means.
       (b) Cooperation from Operators of Passenger Vessels.--The 
     Secretary of Homeland Security shall by order require 
     operators of cruise ships to provide the passenger

     for clarifying information known to cause false hits or 
     misidentification errors, and for updating relevant 
     information that is dispositive in the passenger screening 
     process. The Secretary shall also establish a process to 
     provide an individual whose name is confused with, or similar 
     to, a name in the watchlist database with a means of 
     demonstrating that such individual is not the person named in 
     the database.
       (d) Cruise Ship Defined.--In this section, the term 
     ``cruise ship''--
       (1) means any vessel (except one described in paragraph

     addresses the results of the vulnerability assessment.
       (2) Contents of site security plan.--A site security plan 
     required under the regulations promulgated under paragraph 
     (1) or any other plan determined to be substantially 
     equivalent by the Secretary under subsection (c)--

     not create an equal or greater risk to human health or the 
     environment.
       (B) Applicability.--This subparagraph applies to a chemical 
     source if the chemical source is 1 of the 123 facilities that 
     the Secretary determines would pose a risk of harm to the 
     greatest number of people in the event of a terrorist 
     release, unless the owner or operator of the chemical source 
     can demonstrate to the Secretary through an assessment of 
     alternative approaches that available alternative

     relevant regulations promulgated under subsection (a)(1) 
     (including such a vulnerability assessment or site security 
     plan prepared before, on, or after the date of enactment of 
     this Act).
       (e) Regulatory Criteria.--In exercising the authority under 
     subsections (a) and (c) with respect to a chemical source, 
     the Secretary shall consider--
       (1) the likelihood that a chemical source will be the 
     target of terrorism;

       (A) determine whether additional stationary sources 
     (including, as of the date of the determination, facilities 
     that are operational and facilities that will become 
     operational in the future) shall be considered to be chemical 
     sources under this title;
       (B) determine whether any chemical source identified on the 
     most recent list under paragraph (1) no longer presents a 
     risk sufficient to justify retention of classification as a 
     chemical source under this title; and
       (C) update the list as appropriate.
       (4) Regulations.--The Secretary may make a determination 
     under this subsection in regulations promulgated under 
     subsection (a)(1).

     of certification of a vulnerability assessment and a site 
     security plan under subsection (b)(1), and not less often 
     than every 5 years thereafter (or on such a schedule as the 
     Secretary may establish by regulation), the owner or operator 
     of the chemical source covered by the vulnerability 
     assessment or site security plan shall--
       (1) review the adequacy of the vulnerability assessment and 
     site security plan; and
       (2)(A) certify to the Secretary that the chemical source 
     has completed the review and implemented any modifications to 
     the site security plan; and
       (B) submit to the Secretary a description of any changes to

     written notification of the determination that includes a 
     clear explanation of deficiencies in the vulnerability 
     assessment, site security plan, or implementation of the 
     assessment or plan;
       (2) consult with the owner or operator of the chemical 
     source to identify appropriate steps to achieve compliance; 
     and
       (3) if, following that consultation, the owner or operator 
     of the chemical source does not achieve compliance by such 
     date as the Secretary determines to be appropriate under the 
     circumstances, issue an order requiring the owner or operator 
     to correct specified deficiencies.
       (d) Emergency Powers.--
       (1) Definition of emergency threat.--In this subsection,

  SA 3872. Mr. SESSIONS (for himself and Mr. Ensign) submitted an 
amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 2845, to reform 
the intelligence community and the intelligence and intelligence-
related activities of the United States Government, and for other 
purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. BIOMETRIC STANDARDS FOR PASSPORTS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The 9/11 Commission Report made clear that the 
     incapacity to establish the authenticity of United States 
     passports through a biometric identifier is a major gap in 
     homeland security when it stated, ``Americans should not be 
     exempt from carrying biometric passports or otherwise 
     enabling their identities to be securely verified when they 
     enter the United States; nor should Canadians or Mexicans''.
       (2) The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act 
     of 2002 requires Visa Waiver Program countries to conform to 
     a biometric standard negotiated through the International 
     Civil Aviation Organization, rather than requiring a specific 
     type of biometric identifier. The standard agreed upon by the 
     international community is facial recognition, consisting of 
     a picture with a computer chip embedded in the passport to 
     verify the picture.
       (3) Facial recognition biometric technology remains 
     inferior to fingerprint biometric technology for the purpose 
     of one-to-many matches and is not consistent with the 
     biometric information that the United States collects from 
     visa applicants through its visa issuance process. 
     Consequently, individuals from Visa Waiver Program countries 
     who do not go through visa applications and interviews at the 
     point of origin are admitted into the United States with only 
     a facial biometric identifier contained in their passport.
       (4) In order to be eligible for the Visa Waiver Program, 
     Visa Waiver Program countries should issue visas and 
     passports that conform with the same biometric standard as 
     travel documents issued by the United States.
       (5) Because the United Sates must set an example in the 
     establishment of an international travel document biometric 
     identification standard, and must ensure that United States 
     issued passports are not used by non-United States citizens 
     to fraudulently gain entrance into the United States, the 
     United States should not only comply with the standards set 
     by the International Civil Aviation Organization, but should 
     include fingerprints as a second additional biometric 
     identifier on the passports it issues to its citizens.
       (b) Fingerprints on United States Passports.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of State shall ensure that 
     each passport issued by the United States after the effective 
     date of this subsection--
       (A) contains the index fingerprints of the person to whom 
     such passport was issued; and
       (B) complies with the additional biometric standard 
     established by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
       (2) Authorization of appropriations.--
       (A) In general.--There are authorized to be appropriated a 
     total of $1,000,000,000 for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 to 
     carry out the provisions of paragraph (1).
       (B) Availability.--Any amounts appropriated pursuant to 
     subparagraph (A) shall remain available until expended.
       (3) Effective date.--This subsection shall take effect on 
     the date which is 1 year after the date of enactment of this 
     Act.
       (c) Biometric Standard for Passports Issued by Visa Waiver 
     Program Countries.--
       (1) In general.--Section 217 of the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1187) is amended--
       (A) in subsection (a)(3)(A), by striking ``satisfies the 
     internationally accepted standard for machine readability.'' 
     and inserting the following:
       ``(i) satisfies the internationally accepted standard for 
     machine readability; and
       ``(ii) contains fingerprint biometric identifiers of the 
     alien.''; and
       (B) in subsection (c)(2)(B)(i), by striking ``satisfy the 
     internationally accepted standard for machine readability.'' 
     and inserting the following:
       ``(i) satisfy the internationally accepted standard for 
     machine readability; and

[[Page 20257]]

       ``(ii) contain fingerprint biometric identifiers of such 
     citizens.''.
       (2) Effective date.--The amendments made by paragraph (1) 
     shall take effect on the date which is 1 year after the date 
     on which the Secretary of State begins to issue passports in 
     accordance with subsection (b)(1).
                                 ______

     an offense against a crime victim, the court shall ensure 
     that the crime victim is afforded the rights described in 
     subsection (a). The reasons for any decision denying relief 
     under this chapter shall be clearly stated on the record.

     effect to this chapter.

     right of a crime victim under this chapter or under the 
     Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the Government or the

     SEC. 402. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Open communication of information and ideas among 
     peoples of the world contributes to international peace and 
     stability, and that the promotion of such communication is 
     important to the national security of the United States.
       (2) The United States needs to improve its communication of 
     information and ideas to people in foreign countries, 
     particularly in countries with significant Muslim 
     populations.
       (3) A significant expansion of United States international 
     broadcasting would provide a cost-effective means of 
     improving communication with countries with significant 
     Muslim populations by providing news, information, and 
     analysis, as well as cultural programming, through both radio 
     and television broadcasts.
       (4) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
     Attacks Upon the United States stated that, ``Recognizing 
     that Arab and Muslim audiences rely on satellite television 
     and radio, the government has begun some promising 
     initiatives in television and radio broadcasting to the Arab 
     world, Iran, and Afghanistan. These efforts are beginning to 
     reach large audiences. The Broadcasting Board of Governors 
     has asked for much larger resources. It should get them.''.

     the criteria for placing individuals on the Terrorist 
     Screening Center consolidated screening watch list, including 
     reliability thresholds, minimum standards for identifying 
     information, specific designations of the certainty and level 
     of threat the individual poses, and specific instructions 
     about the consequences that apply to the individual if 
     located. To the greatest extent consistent with the 
     protection of classified information and applicable law, the 
     report shall be in unclassified form and available to the 
     public, with a classified annex where necessary.
       (b) Safeguards Against Erroneous Listings.--The Secretary 
     of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Director of 
     the Federal Bureau of Investigation, shall establish a

     watch list and have their names removed from such lists, if 
     erroneously present.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Privacy and Civil Liberties 
     Oversight Board shall submit a report assessing the impact of

     Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate, and the 
     Committee on the Judiciary, the Committee on Government 
     Reform, and the Committee on Transportation and 
     Infrastructure of the House of Representatives. The report 
     shall include any recommendations for practices, procedures, 
     regulations, or legislation to eliminate or minimize adverse 
     effects of such lists on privacy, discrimination, due process 
     and other civil liberties, as well as the implications of 
     applying those lists to other modes of transportation. The 
     Comptroller General of the United States shall cooperate with 
     the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board in the preparation of 
     the report. To the greatest extent consistent with the 
     protection of classified information and applicable law, the 
     report shall be in unclassified form and available to the 
     public, with a classified annex where necessary.

him to the bill S. 2845, to reform the intelligence community and the 
intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States 
Government, and for other purposes; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following new section:

     SEC. __. COMMISSION ON THE UNITED STATES-SAUDI ARABIA 
                   RELATIONSHIP.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Despite improvements in counterterrorism cooperation 
     between the Governments of the United States and Saudi Arabia 
     following the terrorist attacks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on 
     May 12, 2003, the relationship between the United States and 
     Saudi Arabia continues to be problematic in regard to 
     combating Islamic extremism.
       (2) The Government of Saudi Arabia has not always responded 
     promptly and fully to United States requests for assistance 
     in the global war on Islamist terrorism. Examples of this 
     lack of cooperation have included an unwillingness to provide 
     the United States Government with access to individuals 
     wanted for questioning in relation to terrorist acts and to 
     assist in investigations of terrorist activities.
       (3) The state religion of Saudi Arabia, a militant and 
     exclusionary form of Islam known as Wahhabism, preaches 
     violence against nonbelievers or infidels and serves as the 
     religious basis for Osama Bin Laden and al Qaeda. Through 
     support for madrassas, mosques, cultural centers, and other 
     entities Saudi Arabia has actively supported the spread of 
     this religious sect.
       (4) The Secretary of State designated Saudi Arabia a 
     country of particular concern under section 402(b)(1)(A) of 
     the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 
     6442(b)(1)(A)) because the Government of Saudi Arabia has 
     engaged in or tolerated systematic, ongoing, and egregious 
     violations of religious freedom.
       (5) The Department of State's International Religious 
     Freedom Report for 2004 concluded that religious freedom does 
     not exist in Saudi Arabia.
       (6) The Ambassador-at-large for International Religious 
     Freedom expressed concern about Saudi Arabia's export of 
     religious extremism and intolerance to other countries where 
     religious freedom for Muslims is respected.
       (7) Historically, the Government of Saudi Arabia has 
     allowed financiers of terrorism to operate within its 
     borders.
       (8) The Government of Saudi Arabia stated in February 2004 
     that it would establish a national commission to combat 
     terrorist financing within Saudi Arabia, however, it has not 
     fulfilled that promise.
       (9) There have been no reports of the Government of Saudi 
     Arabia pursuing the arrest, trial, or punishment of 
     individuals who have provided financial support for terrorist 
     activities. The laws of Saudi Arabia to combat terrorist 
     financing have not been fully implemented.
       (b) Commission on the United States-Saudi Arabia 
     Relationship.--
       (1) Establishment.--There is established, within the 
     legislative branch, the National Commission on the United 
     States-Saudi Arabia Relationship (in this section referred to 
     as the ``Commission'').
       (2) Purposes.--The purposes of the Commission are to 
     investigate, evaluate, and report on--
       (A) the current status and activities of diplomatic 
     relations between the Government of the United States and the 
     Government of Saudi Arabia;
       (B) the degree of cooperation exhibited by the Government 
     of Saudi Arabia toward the Government of the United States in 
     relation to intelligence, security cooperation, and the fight 
     against Islamist terrorism;
       (C) the status of the support provided by the Government of 
     Saudi Arabia to promote the dissemination of Wahabbism; and
       (D) the efforts of the Government of Saudi Arabia to enact 
     domestic measures to curtail terrorist financing.
       (3) Authority.--The Commission is authorized to carry out 
     purposes described in paragraph (2).
       (c) Composition of Commission.--The Commission shall be 
     composed of 10 members, as follows:
       (1) Two members appointed by the President, one of whom the 
     President shall designate as the chairman of the Commission.
       (2) Two members appointed by the Speaker of the House of 
     Representatives.
       (3) Two members appointed by the minority leader of the 
     House of Representatives.
       (4) Two members appointed by the majority leader of the 
     Senate.
       (5) Two members appointed by the minority leader of the 
     Senate.
       (d) Report.--Not later that 270 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Commission shall submit to the 
     President and Congress a report on the relationship between 
     the United States and Saudi Arabia. The report shall include 
     the recommendations of the Commission to--
       (1) increase the transparency of diplomatic relations 
     between the Government of the United States and the 
     Government of Saudi Arabia;
       (2) improve cooperation between Government of the United 
     States and the Government of Saudi Arabia in efforts to share 
     intelligence information related to the war on terror;
       (3) curtail the support and dissemination of Wahabbism by 
     the Government of Saudi Arabia;
       (4) enhance the efforts of the Government of Saudi Arabia 
     to combat terrorist financing;
       (5) create a foreign policy strategy for the United States 
     to improve cooperation with the Government of Saudi Arabia in 
     the war on terror, including any recommendations regarding 
     the use of sanctions or other diplomatic measures;
       (6) curtail the support or toleration of violations of 
     religious freedom by the Government of Saudi Arabia; and
       (7) encourage the Government of Saudi Arabia to improve the 
     human rights conditions in Saudi Arabia that have been 
     identified as poor by the Department of State.
       (e) Effective Date.--Notwithstanding section 341 or any 
     other provision of this Act, this section shall take effect 
     on the date of the enactment of this Act.

     programs that could facilitate implementation of port 
     security antiterrorism measures in foreign countries. The 
     Administrator and the Secretary shall establish a program to 
     utilize those programs that are capable of implementing port 
     security antiterrorism measures at ports in foreign countries 
     that the Secretary finds, under section 70108, to lack 
     effective antiterrorism measures.''.

     funds to implement Area Maritime Transportation Security 
     Plans and to help fund compliance with Federal security plans 
     among port authorities, facility operators, and State and 
     local agencies required to provide security services. Grants 
     shall be made on the basis of threat-based risk assessments, 
     consistent with the national strategy for transportation 
     security, subject to review and comment by the appropriate 
     Federal Maritime Security Coordinators and the Maritime 
     Administration. The grant program shall take into account

       (2) requirements for ensuring that Federal funds will not 
     be substituted for grantee funds;
       (3) targeting requirements to ensure that funding is 
     directed in a manner that reflects a national, risk-based 
     perspective on priority needs, the fiscal capacity of 
     recipients to fund the improvements without grant funds, and 
     an explicit analysis of the impact of minimum funding to 
     small ports that could affect funding available for the most 
     strategic or economically important ports;
       (4) matching requirements to ensure that Federal funds 
     provide an incentive to grantees for the investment of their 
     own funds in the improvements financed in part by Federal 
     funds; and
       (5) the need for multiple year funding to provide funds for 
     multiple year grant agreements.

  SA 3906. Mr. McCAIN (for himself, Mr. Lieberman, and Mr. Bayh) 
submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 
2845, to reform the intelligence community and the intelligence and 
intelligence-related activities of the United States Government, and 
for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

 TITLE __--THE ROLE OF DIPLOMACY, FOREIGN AID, AND THE MILITARY IN THE 
                            WAR ON TERRORISM

     SEC. __01. FINDINGS.

       Consistent with the report of the National Commission on 
     Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
     following findings:
       (1) Long-term success in the war on terrorism demands the 
     use of all elements of national power, including diplomacy, 
     military action, intelligence, covert action, law 
     enforcement, economic policy, foreign aid, public diplomacy, 
     and homeland defense.
       (2) To win the war on terrorism, the United States must 
     assign to economic and diplomatic capabilities the same 
     strategic priority that is assigned to military capabilities.
       (3) The legislative and executive branches of the 
     Government of the United States must commit to robust, long-
     term investments in all of the tools necessary for the 
     foreign policy of the United States to successfully 
     accomplish the goals of the United States.
       (4) The investments referred to in paragraph (3) will 
     require increased funding to United States foreign affairs 
     programs in general, and to priority areas as described in 
     this title in particular.

     SEC. __02. TERRORIST SANCTUARIES.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Complex terrorist operations require locations that 
     provide such operations sanctuary from interference by 
     government or law enforcement personnel.
       (2) A terrorist sanctuary existed in Afghanistan before 
     September 11, 2001.
       (3) The terrorist sanctuary in Afghanistan provided direct 
     and indirect value to members of al Qaeda who participated in 
     the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 
     2001, and in other terrorist operations.
       (4) Terrorist organizations have fled to some of the least 
     governed and most lawless places in the world to find 
     sanctuary.
       (5) During the 21st century, terrorists are focusing on 
     remote regions and failing states as locations to seek 
     sanctuary.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States Government should identify and 
     prioritize locations that are or that could be used as 
     terrorist sanctuaries;
       (2) the United States Government should have a realistic 
     strategy that includes the use of all elements of national 
     power to keep possible terrorists from using a location as a 
     sanctuary; and
       (3) the United States Government should reach out, listen 
     to, and work with countries in bilateral and multilateral 
     fora to prevent locations from becoming sanctuaries and to 
     prevent terrorists from using locations as sanctuaries.

     SEC. __03. ROLE OF PAKISTAN IN COUNTERING TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Government of Pakistan has a critical role to 
     perform in the struggle against Islamist terrorism.
       (2) The endemic poverty, widespread corruption, and 
     frequent ineffectiveness of government in Pakistan create 
     opportunities for Islamist recruitment.
       (3) The poor quality of education in Pakistan is 
     particularly worrying, as millions of families send their 
     children to madrassahs, some of which have been used as 
     incubators for violent extremism.
       (4) The vast unpoliced regions in Pakistan make the country 
     attractive to extremists seeking refuge and recruits and also 
     provide a base for operations against coalition forces in 
     Afghanistan.
       (5) A stable Pakistan, with a moderate, responsible 
     government that serves as a voice of tolerance in the Muslim 
     world, is critical to stability in the region.
       (6) There is a widespread belief among the people of 
     Pakistan that the United States has long treated them as 
     allies of convenience.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should make a long-term commitment to 
     fostering a stable and secure future in Pakistan, as long as 
     its leaders remain committed to combatting extremists and 
     extremism, ending the proliferation of weapons of mass 
     destruction, securing its borders, and gaining internal 
     control of all its territory while pursuing policies that 
     strengthen civil society, promote moderation and advance 
     socio-economic progress;
       (2) Pakistan should make sincere efforts to transition to 
     democracy, enhanced rule of law, and robust civil 
     institutions, and United States policy toward Pakistan should 
     promote such a transition;
       (3) the United States assistance to Pakistan should be 
     maintained at the overall levels requested by the President 
     for fiscal year 2005;
       (4) the United States should support the Government of 
     Pakistan with a comprehensive effort that extends from 
     military aid to support for better education;
       (5) the United States Government should devote particular 
     attention and resources to assisting in the improvement of 
     the quality of education in Pakistan; and
       (6) the Government of Pakistan should devote additional 
     resources of such Government to expanding and improving 
     modern public education in Pakistan.

     SEC. __04. AID TO AFGHANISTAN.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States and its allies in the international 
     community have made progress in promoting economic and 
     political reform within Afghanistan, including the 
     establishment of a central government with a democratic 
     constitution, a new currency, and a new army, the increase of 
     personal freedom, and the elevation of the standard of living 
     of many Afghans.
       (2) A number of significant obstacles must be overcome if 
     Afghanistan is to become a secure and prosperous democracy, 
     and such a transition depends in particular upon--
       (A) improving security throughout the country;

[[Page 20278]]

       (B) disarming and demobilizing militias;
       (C) curtailing the rule of the warlords;
       (D) promoting equitable economic development;
       (E) protecting the human rights of the people of 
     Afghanistan;
       (F) holding elections for public office; and
       (G) ending the cultivation and trafficking of narcotics.
       (3) The United States and the international community must 
     make a long-term commitment to addressing the deteriorating 
     security situation in Afghanistan and the burgeoning 
     narcotics trade, endemic poverty, and other serious problems 
     in Afghanistan in order to prevent that country from 
     relapsing into a sanctuary for international terrorism.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--
       (1) Actions for afghanistan.--It is the sense of Congress 
     that the Government of the United States should take, with 
     respect to Afghanistan, the following actions:
       (A) Working with other nations to obtain long-term 
     security, political, and financial commitments and 
     fulfillment of pledges to the Government of Afghanistan to 
     accomplish the objectives of the Afghanistan Freedom Support 
     Act of 2002 (22 U.S.C. 7501 et seq.), especially to ensure a 
     secure, democratic, and prosperous Afghanistan that respects 
     the rights of its citizens and is free of international 
     terrorist organizations.
       (B) Using the voice and vote of the United States in 
     relevant international organizations, including the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United Nations Security 
     Council, to strengthen international commitments to assist 
     the Government of Afghanistan in enhancing security, building 
     national police and military forces, increasing counter-
     narcotics efforts, and expanding infrastructure and public 
     services throughout the country.
       (C) Taking appropriate steps to increase the assistance 
     provided under programs of the Department of State and the 
     United States Agency for International Development throughout 
     Afghanistan and to increase the number of personnel of those 
     agencies in Afghanistan as necessary to support the increased 
     assistance.
       (2) Revision of afghanistan freedom support act of 2002.--
     It is the sense of Congress that Congress should, in 
     consultation with the President, update and revise, as 
     appropriate, the Afghanistan Freedom Support Act of 2002.
       (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--
       (1) In general.--There are authorized to be appropriated to 
     the President for each of the fiscal years 2005 through 2009 
     such sums as may be necessary to provide assistance for 
     Afghanistan, unless otherwise authorized by Congress, for the 
     following purposes:
       (A) For development assistance under sections 103, 105, and 
     106 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151a, 
     2151c, and 2151d).
       (B) For children's health programs under the Child Survival

     SEC. __05. THE UNITED STATES-SAUDI ARABIA RELATIONSHIP.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Despite a long history of friendly relations with the 
     United States, Saudi Arabia has been a problematic ally in 
     combating Islamist extremism.
       (2) Cooperation between the Governments of the United 
     States and Saudi Arabia has traditionally been carried out in 
     private.
       (3) Counterterrorism cooperation between the Governments of 
     the United States and Saudi Arabia has improved significantly 
     since the terrorist bombing attacks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 
     on May 12, 2003, especially cooperation to combat terror 
     groups operating inside Saudi Arabia.
       (4) The Government of Saudi Arabia is now pursuing al Qaeda 
     within Saudi Arabia and has begun to take some modest steps 
     toward internal reform.
       (5) Nonetheless, the Government of Saudi Arabia has been at 
     times unresponsive to United States requests for assistance 
     in the global war on Islamist terrorism.
       (6) The Government of Saudi Arabia has not done all it can 
     to prevent nationals of Saudi Arabia from funding and 
     supporting extremist organizations in Saudi Arabia and other 
     countries.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the problems in the relationship between the United 
     States and Saudi Arabia must be confronted openly, and the 
     opportunities for cooperation between the countries must be 
     pursued openly by those governments;
       (2) both governments must build a relationship that they 
     can publicly defend and that is based on other national 
     interests in addition to their national interests in oil;
       (3) this relationship should include a shared commitment to 
     political and economic reform in Saudi Arabia;
       (4) this relationship should also include a shared interest 
     in greater tolerance and respect for other cultures in Saudi 
     Arabia and a commitment to fight the violent extremists who 
     foment hatred in the Middle East; and
       (5) the Government of Saudi Arabia must do all it can to 
     prevent nationals of Saudi Arabia from funding and supporting 
     extremist organizations in Saudi Arabia and other countries.

     SEC. __06. EFFORTS TO COMBAT ISLAMIST TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) While support for the United States has plummeted in 
     the Islamic world, many negative views are uninformed, at 
     best, and, at worst, are informed by coarse stereotypes and 
     caricatures.
       (2) Local newspapers in Islamic countries and influential 
     broadcasters who reach Islamic audiences through satellite 
     television often reinforce the idea that the people and 
     Government of the United States are anti-Muslim.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Government of the United States should offer an 
     example of moral leadership in the world that includes a 
     commitment to treat all people humanely, abide by the rule of 
     law, and be generous to the people and governments of other 
     countries;
       (2) the United States should cooperate with governments of 
     Islamic countries to foster agreement on respect for human 
     dignity and opportunity, and to offer a vision of a better 
     future that includes stressing life over death, individual 
     educational and economic opportunity, widespread political 
     participation, contempt for indiscriminate violence, respect 
     for the rule of law, openness in discussing differences, and 
     tolerance for opposing points of view;
       (3) the United States should encourage reform, freedom, 
     democracy, and opportunity for Arabs and Muslims and promote 
     moderation in the Islamic world; and
       (4) the United States should work to defeat extremist 
     ideology in the Islamic world by providing assistance to 
     moderate Arabs and Muslims to combat extremist ideas.

     SEC. __07. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD DICTATORSHIPS.

       (a) Finding.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress finds that short-term gains enjoyed by the United 
     States through cooperation with repressive dictatorships have 
     often been outweighed by long-term setbacks for the stature 
     and interests of the United States.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) United States foreign policy should promote the value 
     of life and the importance of individual educational and 
     economic opportunity, encourage widespread political 
     participation, condemn indiscriminate violence, and promote 
     respect for the rule of law, openness in discussing 
     differences among people, and tolerance for opposing points 
     of view; and
       (2) the United States Government must prevail upon the 
     governments of all predominantly Muslim countries, including 
     those that are friends and allies of the United States, to 
     condemn indiscriminate violence, promote the value of life, 
     respect and promote the principles of individual education 
     and economic opportunity, encourage widespread political 
     participation, and promote the rule of law, openness in 
     discussing differences among people, and tolerance for 
     opposing points of view.

     SEC. __08. PROMOTION OF UNITED STATES VALUES THROUGH 
                   BROADCAST MEDIA.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Although the United States has demonstrated and 
     promoted its values in defending Muslims against tyrants and 
     criminals in Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq, 
     this message is not always clearly presented and understood 
     in the Islamic world.
       (2) If the United States does not act to vigorously define 
     its message in the Islamic world, the image of the United 
     States will be defined by Islamic extremists who seek to 
     demonize the United States.
       (3) Recognizing that many Arab and Muslim audiences rely on 
     satellite television and

[[Page 20279]]

     radio, the United States Government has launched promising 
     initiatives in television and radio broadcasting to the Arab 
     world, Iran, and Afghanistan.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States must do more to defend and promote 
     its values and ideals to the broadest possible audience in 
     the Islamic world;
       (2) United States efforts to defend and promote these 
     values and ideals are beginning to ensure that accurate 
     expressions of these values reach large audiences in the 
     Islamic world and should be robustly supported;
       (3) the United States Government could and should do more 
     to engage the Muslim world in the struggle of ideas; and
       (4) the United States Government should more intensively 
     employ existing broadcast media in the Islamic world as part 
     of this engagement.
       (c) Authorizations of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated to the President for each of the fiscal 
     years 2005 through 2009 such sums as may be necessary to 
     carry out United States Government broadcasting activities 
     under the United States Information and Educational Exchange 
     Act of 1948 (22 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.), the United States 
     International Broadcasting Act of 1994 (22 U.S.C. 6201 et 
     seq.), and the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act 
     of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.), and to carry out other 
     activities under this section consistent with the purposes of 
     such Acts, unless otherwise authorized by Congress.

     SEC. __09. EXPANSION OF UNITED STATES SCHOLARSHIP AND 
                   EXCHANGE PROGRAMS IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Exchange, scholarship, and library programs are 
     effective ways for the United States Government to promote 
     internationally the values and ideals of the United States.
       (2) Exchange, scholarship, and library programs can expose 
     young people from other countries to United States values and 
     offer them knowledge and hope.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the United States should expand its exchange, scholarship, 
     and library programs, especially those that benefit people in 
     the Arab and Muslim worlds.
       (c) Authority To Expand Educational and Cultural 
     Exchanges.--The President is authorized to substantially 
     expand the exchange, scholarship, and library programs of the 
     United States, especially such programs that benefit people 
     in the Arab and Muslim worlds.
       (d) Availability of Funds.--Of the amounts authorized to be 
     appropriated for educational and cultural exchange programs 
     in each of the fiscal years 2005 through 2009, there is 
     authorized to be made available to the Secretary of State 
     such sums as may be necessary to carry out programs under 
     this section, unless otherwise authorized by Congress.

     SEC. __10. INTERNATIONAL YOUTH OPPORTUNITY FUND.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Education that teaches tolerance, the dignity and value 
     of each individual, and respect for different beliefs is a 
     key element in any global strategy to eliminate Islamist 
     terrorism.
       (2) Education in the Middle East about the world outside 
     that region is weak.
       (3) The United Nations has rightly equated literacy with 
     freedom.
       (4) The international community is moving toward setting a 
     concrete goal of reducing by half the illiteracy rate in the 
     Middle East by 2010, through the implementation of education 
     programs targeting women and girls and programs for adult 
     literacy, and by other means.
       (5) To be effective, efforts to improve education in the 
     Middle East must also include--
       (A) support for the provision of basic education tools, 
     such as textbooks that translate more of the world's 
     knowledge into local languages and local libraries to house 
     such materials; and
       (B) more vocational education in trades and business 
     skills.
       (6) The Middle East can benefit from some of the same 
     programs to bridge the digital divide that already have been 
     developed for other regions of the world.
       (b) International Youth Opportunity Fund.--
       (1) Establishment.--The President shall establish an 
     International Youth Opportunity Fund to provide financial 
     assistance for the improvement of public education in the 
     Middle East.
       (2) International participation.--The President shall seek 
     the cooperation of the international community in 
     establishing and generously supporting the Fund.
       (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated to the President for the establishment of 
     the International Youth Opportunity Fund, in addition to any 
     amounts otherwise available for such purpose, such sums as 
     may be necessary for each of the fiscal years 2005 through 
     2009, unless otherwise authorized by Congress.

     SEC. __11. THE USE OF ECONOMIC POLICIES TO COMBAT TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) While terrorism is not caused by poverty, breeding 
     grounds for terrorism are created by backward economic 
     policies and repressive political regimes.
       (2) Policies that support economic development and reform 
     also have political implications, as economic and political 
     liberties are often linked.
       (3) The United States is working toward creating a Middle 
     East Free Trade Area by 2013 and implementing a free trade 
     agreement with Bahrain, and free trade agreements exist 
     between the United States and Israel and the United States 
     and Jordan.
       (4) Existing and proposed free trade agreements between the 
     United States and Islamic countries are drawing interest from 
     other countries in the Middle East region, and Islamic 
     countries can become full participants in the rules-based 
     global trading system, as the United States considers 
     lowering its barriers to trade with the poorest Arab 
     countries.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) a comprehensive United States strategy to counter 
     terrorism should include economic policies that encourage 
     development, open societies, and opportunities for people to 
     improve the lives of their families and to enhance prospects 
     for their children's future;
       (2) one element of such a strategy should encompass the 
     lowering of trade barriers with the poorest countries that 
     have a significant population of Arab or Muslim individuals;
       (3) another element of such a strategy should encompass 
     United States efforts to promote economic reform in countries 
     that have a significant population of Arab or Muslim 
     individuals, including efforts to integrate such countries 
     into the global trading system; and
       (4) given the importance of the rule of law in promoting 
     economic development and attracting investment, the United 
     States should devote an increased proportion of its 
     assistance to countries in the Middle East to the promotion 
     of the rule of law.

     SEC. __12. MIDDLE EAST PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE.

       (a) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized 
     to be appropriated for each of the fiscal years 2005 through 
     2009 such sums as may be necessary for the Middle East 
     Partnership Initiative, unless otherwise authorized by 
     Congress.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
     given the importance of the rule of law and economic reform 
     to development in the Middle East, a significant portion of 
     the funds authorized to be appropriated under subsection (a) 
     should be made available to promote the rule of law in the 
     Middle East.

     SEC. __13. COMPREHENSIVE COALITION STRATEGY FOR FIGHTING 
                   TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Almost every aspect of the counterterrorism strategy of 
     the United States relies on international cooperation.
       (2) Since September 11, 2001, the number and scope of 
     United States Government contacts with foreign governments 
     concerning counterterrorism have expanded significantly, but 
     such contacts have often been ad hoc and not integrated as a 
     comprehensive and unified approach.
       (b) International Contact Group on Counterterrorism.--
       (1) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the President--
       (A) should seek to engage the leaders of the governments of 
     other countries in a process of advancing beyond separate and 
     uncoordinated national counterterrorism strategies to develop 
     with those other governments a comprehensive coalition 
     strategy to fight Islamist terrorism; and
       (B) to that end, should seek to establish an international 
     counterterrorism policy contact group with the leaders of 
     governments providing leadership in global coun-
     terterrorism efforts and governments of countries with 
     sizable Muslim populations, to be used as a ready and 
     flexible international means for discussing and coordinating 
     the development of important counterterrorism policies by the 
     participating governments.
       (2) Authority.--The President is authorized to establish an 
     international coun-
     terterrorism policy contact group with the leaders of 
     governments referred to in paragraph (1) for purposes as 
     follows:
       (A) To develop in common with such other countries 
     important policies and a strategy that address the various 
     components of international prosecution of the war on 
     terrorism, including policies and a strategy that address 
     military issues, law enforcement, the collection, analysis, 
     and dissemination of intelligence, issues relating to 
     interdiction of travel by terrorists,

[[Page 20280]]

     counterterrorism-related customs issues, financial issues, 
     and issues relating to terrorist sanctuaries.
       (B) To address, to the extent (if any) that the President 
     and leaders of other participating governments determine 
     appropriate, such long-term issues as economic and political 
     reforms that can contribute to strengthening stability and 
     security in the Middle East.

     SEC. __14. TREATMENT OF FOREIGN PRISONERS.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Carrying out the global war on terrorism requires the 
     development of policies with respect to the detention and 
     treatment of captured international terrorists that are 
     adhered to by all coalition forces.
       (2) Article 3 of the Convention Relative to the Treatment 
     of Prisoners of War, done at Geneva August 12, 1949 (6 UST 
     3316) was specifically designed for cases in which the usual 
     rules of war do not apply, and the minimum standards of 
     treatment pursuant to such Article are generally accepted 
     throughout the world as customary international law.
       (b) Policy.--The policy of the United States is as follows:
       (1) It is the policy of the United States to treat all 
     foreign persons captured, detained, interned or otherwise 
     held in the custody of the United States (hereinafter 
     ``prisoners'') humanely and in accordance with standards that 
     the United States would consider legal if perpetrated by the 
     enemy against an American prisoner.
       (2) It is the policy of the United States that all 
     officials of the United States are bound both in wartime and 
     in peacetime by the legal prohibition against torture, cruel, 
     inhuman or degrading treatment.
       (3) If there is any doubt as to whether prisoners are 
     entitled to the protections afforded by the Geneva 
     Conventions, such prisoners shall enjoy the protections of 
     the Geneva Conventions until such time as their status can be 
     determined pursuant to the procedures authorized by Army 
     Regulation 190-8, Section 1-6.
       (4) It is the policy of the United States to expeditiously 
     prosecute cases of terrorism or other criminal acts alleged 
     to have been committed by prisoners in the custody of the 
     United States Armed Forces at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in order 
     to avoid the indefinite detention of prisoners, which is 
     contrary to the legal principles and security interests of 
     the United States.
       (c) Reporting.--The Department of Defense shall submit to 
     the appropriate congressional committees:
       (1) A quarterly report providing the number of prisoners 
     who were denied Prisoner of War (POW) status under the Geneva 
     Conventions and the basis for denying POW status to each such 
     prisoner.
       (2) A report setting forth--
       (A) the proposed schedule for military commissions to be 
     held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; and
       (B) the number of individuals currently held at Guantanamo 
     Bay, Cuba, the number of such individuals who are unlikely to 
     face a military commission in the next six months, and each 
     reason for not bringing such individuals before a military 
     commission.
       (3) All International Committee of the Red Cross reports, 
     completed prior to the enactment of this Act, concerning the 
     treatment of prisoners in United States custody at Guantanamo 
     Bay, Cuba, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Such ICRC reports should be 
     provided, in classified form, not later than 15 days after 
     enactment of this Act.
       (4) A report setting forth all prisoner interrogation 
     techniques approved by officials of the United States.
       (d) Annual Training Requirement.--The Department of Defense 
     shall certify that all Federal employees and civilian 
     contractors engaged in the handling or interrogating of 
     prisoners have fulfilled an annual training requirement on 
     the laws of war, the Geneva Conventions and the obligations 
     of the United States under international humanitarian law.
       (e) Prohibition on Torture or Cruel, Inhumane, or Degrading 
     Treatment or Punishment.--
       (1) In general.--No prisoner shall be subject to torture or 
     cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment or punishment that is 
     prohibited by the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the 
     United States.
       (2) Relationship to geneva conventions.--Nothing in this 
     section shall affect the status of any person under the 
     Geneva Conventions or whether any person is entitled to the 
     protections of the Geneva Conventions.
       (f) Rules, Regulations, and Guidelines.--
       (1) Requirement.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary and the Director 
     shall prescribe the rules, regulations, or guidelines 
     necessary to ensure compliance with the prohibition in 
     subsection (e)(1) by all personnel of the United States 
     Government and by any person providing services to the United 
     States Government on a contract basis.
       (2) Report to congress.--The Secretary and the Director 
     shall submit to Congress the rules, regulations, or 
     guidelines prescribed under paragraph (1), and any 
     modifications to such rules, regulations, or guidelines--
       (A) not later than 30 days after the effective date of such 
     rules, regulations, guidelines, or modifications; and
       (B) in a manner and form that will protect the national 
     security interests of the United States.
       (g) Reports on Possible Violations.--
       (1) Requirement.--The Secretary and the Director shall each 
     submit, on a timely basis and not less than twice each year, 
     a report to Congress on the circumstances surrounding any 
     investigation of a possible violation of the prohibition in 
     subsection (e)(1) by United States Government personnel or by 
     a person providing services to the United States Government 
     on a contract basis.
       (2) Form of report.--A report required under paragraph (1) 
     shall be submitted in a manner and form that--
       (A) will protect the national security interests of the 
     United States; and
       (B) will not prejudice any prosecution of an individual 
     involved in, or responsible for, a violation of the 
     prohibition in subsection (e)(1).
       (h) Report on a Coalition Approach Toward the Detention and 
     Humane Treatment of Captured Terrorists.--Not later than 180 
     days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     President shall submit to Congress a report describing the 
     efforts of the United States Government to develop an 
     approach toward the detention and humane treatment of 
     captured international terrorists that will be adhered to by 
     all countries that are members of the coalition against 
     terrorism.
       (i) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment or 
     punishment.--The term ``cruel, inhumane, or degrading 
     treatment or punishment'' means the cruel, unusual, and 
     inhumane treatment or punishment prohibited by the fifth 
     amendment, eighth amendment, or fourteenth amendment to the 
     Constitution.
       (2) Director.--The term ``Director'' means the National 
     Intelligence Director.
       (3) Geneva conventions.--The term ``Geneva Conventions'' 
     means--
       (A) the Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of 
     the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field, done at 
     Geneva August 12, 1949 (6 UST 3114);
       (B) the Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of

     SEC. __15. PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Al Qaeda and other terror groups have tried to acquire 
     or make weapons of mass destruction since 1994 or earlier.
       (2) The United States doubtless would be a prime target for 
     use of any such weapon by al Qaeda.
       (3) Although the United States Government has supported the 
     Cooperative Threat Reduction, Global Threat Reduction 
     Initiative, and other nonproliferation assistance programs, 
     nonproliferation experts continue to express deep concern 
     about the adequacy of such efforts to secure weapons of mass 
     destruction and related materials that still exist in Russia 
     other countries of the former Soviet Union, and around the 
     world.
       (4) The cost of increased investment in the prevention of 
     proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and related 
     materials is greatly outweighed by the potentially 
     catastrophic cost to the United States of the use of such 
     weapons by terrorists.
       (5) The Cooperative Threat Reduction, Global Threat 
     Reduction Initiative, and other nonproliferation assistance 
     programs are the United States primary method of preventing 
     the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and related 
     materials from Russia and the states of the former Soviet 
     Union, but require further expansion, improvement, and 
     resources.
       (6) Better coordination is needed within the executive 
     branch of government for the budget development, oversight, 
     and implementation of the Cooperative Threat Reduction, 
     Global Threat Reduction Initiative, and other 
     nonproliferation assistance programs, and critical elements 
     of such programs are operated by the Departments of Defense, 
     Energy, and State.
       (7) The effective implementation of the Cooperative Threat 
     Reduction, Global Threat Reduction Initiative, and other 
     nonproliferation assistance programs in the countries of

[[Page 20281]]

     the former Soviet Union is hampered by Russian behavior and 
     conditions on the provision of assistance under such programs 
     that are unrelated to bilateral cooperation on weapons 
     dismantlement.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) maximum effort to prevent the proliferation of weapons 
     of mass destruction and related materials, wherever such 
     proliferation may occur, is warranted;
       (2) the Cooperative Threat Reduction, Global Threat 
     Reduction Initiative, and other nonproliferation assistance 
     programs should be expanded, improved, accelerated, and 
     better funded to address the global dimensions of the 
     proliferation threat; and
       (3) the Proliferation Security Initiative is an important 
     counterproliferation program that should be expanded to 
     include additional partners.
       (c) Cooperative Threat Reduction, Global Threat Reduction 
     Initiative, and other nonproliferation assistance programs.--
     In this section, the term ``Cooperative Threat Reduction, 
     Global Threat Reduction Initiative, and other 
     nonproliferation assistance programs'' includes--
       (1) the programs specified in section 1501(b) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 
     (Public Law 104-201; 50 U.S.C. 2362 note);
       (2) the activities for which appropriations are authorized 
     by section 3101(a)(2) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-136; 117 Stat. 
     1742);
       (3) the Department of State program of assistance to 
     science centers;
       (4) the Global Threat Reduction Initiative of the 
     Department of Energy; and
       (5) a program of any agency of the Federal Government 
     having the purpose of assisting any foreign government in 
     preventing nuclear weapons, plutonium, highly enriched 
     uranium, or other materials capable of sustaining an 
     explosive nuclear chain reaction, or nuclear weapons 
     technology from becoming available to terrorist 
     organizations.
       (d) Strategy and Plan.--
       (1) Strategy.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to 
     Congress--
       (A) a comprehensive strategy for expanding and 
     strengthening the Cooperative Threat Reduction, Global Threat 
     Reduction Initiative, and other nonproliferation assistance 
     programs; and
       (B) an estimate of the funding necessary to execute such 
     strategy.
       (2) Plan.--The strategy required by paragraph (1) shall 
     include a plan for securing the nuclear weapons and related 
     materials that are the most likely to be acquired or sought 
     by, and susceptible to becoming available to, terrorist 
     organizations, including--
       (A) a prioritized list of the most dangerous and vulnerable 
     sites;
       (B) measurable milestones for improving United States 
     nonproliferation assistance programs;
       (C) a schedule for achieving such milestones; and
       (D) initial estimates of the resources necessary to achieve 
     such milestones under such schedule.

     SEC. __16. FINANCING OF TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) While efforts to designate and freeze the assets of 
     terrorist financiers have been relatively unsuccessful, 
     efforts to target the relatively small number of al Qaeda 
     financial facilitators have been valuable and successful.
       (2) The death or capture of several important financial 
     facilitators has decreased the amount of money available to 
     al Qaeda, and has made it more difficult for al Qaeda to

     continue the cycle of disruption.

     financing should be the targeting of terrorist financial 
     facilitators by intelligence and law enforcement agencies;

     in United States counter-terrorism efforts.

     the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to

him to the bill S. 2845, to reform the intelligence community and the 
intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States 
Government, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the 
table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the 
     ``Congressional Right to Know Act''.
       (b) Findings.--Congress adopts herein specified findings of 
     the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
     States (``9-11 Commission'') contained in the ``9-11 
     Commission Report'' issued on July 22, 2004, and makes 
     further findings as follows:
       (1) Prior to September 11, 2001, there were warnings of 
     whistleblowers at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and 
     other national security professionals about security 
     breakdowns in air security, border control and emergency 
     planning.
       (2) Whistleblowers throughout the Executive branch who 
     lawfully exercised the freedom to warn were subjected to 
     retaliation without effective legal defense.
       (3) Safe communications channels that effectively protect 
     the freedom to warn serve Congress' right to know and are the 
     lifeline for the Commission's ``most difficult and 
     important'' goal of ``strengthening congressional oversight 
     to improve quality and accountability''.
       (4) Effectively protecting whistleblowers' freedom to warn 
     is the necessary foundation to implement and enforce 9-11 
     Commission reforms over entrenched institutional resistance, 
     so that the pattern of announced reforms not effecting the 
     necessary institutional and cultural changes does not happen 
     again.
       (5) Whistleblowers lawfully exercising the freedom to warn 
     personify the 9-11 Commission's conclusion that the ``choice 
     between security and liberty is a false choice'' because they 
     use freedom to strengthen America's security.
       (6) Whistleblowers exercising the freedom to warn are 
     indispensable for ``an enhanced system of checks and balances 
     to protect the precious liberties that are vital to our way 
     of life'' by acting as sentinels who defend the principle 
     that ``if our liberties are curtailed, we lose the values 
     that we are struggling to defend''.
       (7) Effective whistleblower protection is a cornerstone 
     principle necessary for the Commission's institutional goal 
     that ``[g]ood people'' should not have to ``overcome bad 
     structures''.
       (8) Effectively protecting the individual employee's 
     freedom to warn is a prerequisite to strengthen national 
     security by replacing the ``need to know'' culture of 
     excessive agency compartmentalization with a ``need to 
     share'' culture promoting a ``duty to the information'' and 
     the American taxpayers.
       (9) Creating a safe channel to effectively exercise the 
     freedom to warn implements the 9-11 Commission's goal for 
     policies ``that simultaneously empower and constrain 
     officials, telling them clearly what is and what is not 
     permitted''.
       (10) Creating a safe channel to effectively exercise the 
     freedom to warn of breaches in professional security 
     standards serves the 9-11 Commission's premise that 
     professional expertise should have priority over 
     institutional concerns.
       (c) Jurisdiction.--This section shall apply to any Federal 
     employee, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the 
     Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, 
     the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, the National 
     Security Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the

     United States Code, and to any employee or agent of an entity 
     subject to liability under sections 3729 et. seq. of title 5, 
     United States Code, the False Claims Act.
       (d) Prohibited Discrimination.--No person covered by 
     subsection (c) may be discharged, demoted, suspended, 
     threatened, harassed, investigated other than any ministerial 
     or nondiscretionary fact finding activities necessary for the

     be communicated or provided, or otherwise assists in any 
     lawful investigation of other action to carry out the

     mismanagement, abuse of authority, or a substantial and 
     specific danger to public health or safety when the 
     information or assistance is provided to or the investigation

     of national defense or the conduct of foreign affairs, it may

     Special Counsel, the Inspector General of an agency, or 
     another employee designated by the head of the agency to 
     receive such disclosures;
       (3) is about to or files, causes to be filed, testify, 
     participate in, or otherwise assist in a proceeding or action 
     filed or about to be filed relating to a violation of any

     assist in carrying out the purposes of the law, rule, or 
     regulation;

       (5) is about to or communicates or provides information 
     protected by this subsection or cause such information to be 
     provided or otherwise communicated, notwithstanding any 
     nondisclosure policy, form, or agreement, if such policy, 
     form, or agreement does not contain the following statement, 
     with an additional reference to this Act: ``These provisions 
     are consistent with and do not supersede, conflict with, or 
     otherwise alter the employee obligations, rights, or 
     liabilities created by Executive order No. 12958, section 
     7211 of title 5, United States Code, United States Code 
     (governing disclosures to Congress), section 1034 of title 
     10, United States Code (governing disclosure to Congress by 
     members of the military), section 2302(b)(8) of title 5,

     Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982 (50 U.S.C. 421 
     et seq.) (governing disclosures that could expose

     title 18, United States Code, and section 4(b) of the 
     Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 783(b)). 
     The definitions, requirements, obligations, rights, 
     sanctions, and liabilities created by such Executive order 
     and such statutory provisions are incorporated into this 
     agreement and are controlling.'';
       (e) Clarification of Whistleblower Rights for Critical

     Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296) is amended by 
     adding at the end the following: ``For purposes of this

     substantial evidence.
       (h) Determinations.--For purposes of subsection (d)(2), a 
     determination as to whether an employee or applicant 
     reasonably believes that they have provided or otherwise 
     communicated information that evidences any violation of law, 
     rule, regulation, gross mismanagement, a gross waste of 
     funds, an abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific 
     danger to public health or safety shall be made by 
     determining whether a disinterested observer with knowledge 
     of the essential facts known to and readily ascertainable by 
     the employee would reasonably conclude that the actions 
     evidence such violations, mismanagement, waste, abuse, or 
     danger.

       (B) if the Board has not issued a final decision within 180 
     days of the filing of the complaint and there is no showing 
     that such delay is due to the bad faith of the claimant, 
     bringing an action at law or equity for de novo review in the 
     appropriate district court of the United States, which shall

     amount in controversy.

     shall be deemed to diminish the rights, privileges, or 
     remedies of any person under any Federal or State law, or 
     under any collective bargaining agreement.
       (k) Remedies.--
       (1) In general.--A person prevailing in any action under 
     subsection (i) shall be entitled to all relief necessary to 
     make the person whole.
       (2) Damages.--Relief for any action under paragraph (1) 
     shall include--
       (A) reinstatement or transfer to the first available 
     position for which the person is qualified with the same 
     seniority status that the person would have had, but for the 
     discrimination;
       (B) the amount of any back pay, with interest; and
       (C) compensation for any compensatory, consequential or 
     special damages sustained as a result of the discrimination, 
     including litigation costs, expert witness fees, and

     for actions taken in the position.

     issued to such individual pursuant to section 205(c)(2)(G) of 
     the Social Security Act and to be authorized to work in the 
     United States in such capacity. Such verification shall be

     the assessment or for appropriate equitable relief to redress 
     the violation or enforce the provisions of this section, and

  SA 3926. Mr. KYL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the bill S. 2845, to reform the intelligence community and the 
intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States 
Government, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the 
table; as follows:

       At the end, add the following new title:

                      TITLE IV--VISA REQUIREMENTS

     SEC. 401. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Section 214 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 
     U.S.C. 1184) governs the admission of nonimmigrants to the 
     United States and sets forth the process for that admission.
       (2) Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act 
     places the burden of proof on a visa applicant to establish 
     ``to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of 
     the application for a visa...that he is entitled to a 
     nonimmigrant status''.
       (3) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
     Attacks Upon the United States included a recommendation that 
     the United States ``combine terrorist travel intelligence, 
     operations, and law enforcement in a strategy to intercept 
     terrorists...and constrain terrorist mobility''.
       (4) Fifteen of the 19 individuals who participated in the 
     aircraft hijackings on September 11, 2001, were nationals of 
     Saudi Arabia who legally entered the United States after 
     securing nonimmigrant visas despite the fact that they did 
     not adequately meet the burden of proof required by section 
     214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
       (5) Prior to September 11, 2001, the Department of State 
     allowed consular officers to approve nonimmigrant visa 
     applications that were incomplete, and without conducting 
     face-to-face interviews of many applicants.
       (6) Each of the 15 individuals from Saudi Arabia who 
     participated in the aircraft hijackings on September 11, 
     2001, filed a visa application that contained inaccuracies 
     and omissions that should have prevented such individual from 
     obtaining a visa.
       (7) Only one of the hijackers listed an actual address on 
     his visa application. The other hijackers simply wrote 
     answers such as ``California'', ``New York'', or ``Hotel'' 
     when asked to provide a destination inside the United States 
     on the visa application.
       (8) Only 3 of the individuals from Saudi Arabia who 
     participated in the aircraft hijackings on September 11, 
     2001, provided any information in the section of the visa 
     application that requests the name and address of an employer 
     or school in the United States.
       (9) The 2002 General Accounting Office report entitled 
     ``Border Security: Visa Process Should Be Strengthened as 
     Antiterrorism Tool'' outlined the written guidelines and 
     practices of the Department of State related to visa issuance 
     and stated that the Department of State allowed for 
     widespread discretion among consular officers in adhering to 
     the burden of proof requirements under section 214(b) of the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act.
       (10) The General Accounting Office report further stated 
     that the ``Consular Best Practices Handbook'' of the 
     Department of State gave consular managers and staff the 
     discretion to ``waive personal appearance and interviews for 
     certain nonimmigrant visa applicants''.
       (11) Only 2 of the 15 individuals from Saudi Arabia who 
     participated in the aircraft hijackings on September 11, 
     2001, were interviewed by Department of State consular 
     officers.
       (12) If the Department of State had required all consular 
     officers to implement section 214(b) of the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act, conduct face-to-face interviews, and require 
     that visa applications be completely and accurately filled 
     out, those who participated in the aircraft hijackings on 
     September 11, 2001, may have been denied nonimmigrant visas 
     and the tragedy of September 11, 2001, could have been 
     prevented.

     SEC. 402. IN PERSON INTERVIEWS OF VISA APPLICANTS.

       (a) Requirement for Interviews.--Section 222 of the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1202) is amended by 
     adding at the end the following new subsection:

     Secretary of State shall require every alien applying for a 
     nonimmigrant visa--
       ``(1) who is at least 12 years of age and not more than 65 
     years of age to submit to an in person interview with a 
     consular officer unless the requirement for such interview is 
     waived--
       ``(A) by a consular official and such alien is within that 
     class of nonimmigrants enumerated in section 101(a)(15)(A) or 
     101(a)(15)(G) or is granted a diplomatic visa on a diplomatic 
     passport or on the equivalent thereof;
       ``(B) by a consular official and such alien is applying for

       ``(i) not more than 12 months after the date on which the 
     alien's prior visa expired;
       ``(ii) for the classification under section 101(a)(15) for 
     which such prior visa was issued;
       ``(iii) from the consular post located in the country in 
     which the alien is a national; and
       ``(iv) the consular officer has no indication that the 
     alien has not complied with the immigration laws and 
     regulations of the United States; or
       ``(C) by the Secretary of State if the Secretary determines 
     that such waiver is--
       ``(i) in the national interest of the United States; or
       ``(ii) necessary as a result of unusual circumstances; and
       ``(2) notwithstanding paragraph (1), to submit to an in 
     person interview with a consular officer if such alien--
       ``(A) is not a national of the country in which the alien 
     is applying for a visa;
       ``(B) was previously refused a visa, unless such refusal 
     was overcome or a waiver of ineligibility has been obtained;
       ``(C) is listed in the Consular Lookout and Support System 
     (or successor system at the Department of State);
       ``(D) may not obtain a visa until a security advisory 
     opinion or other Department of State clearance is issued 
     unless such alien is--

[[Page 20294]]

       ``(i) within that class of nonimmigrants enumerated in 
     section 101(a)(15)(A) or 101(a)(15)(G); and
       ``(ii) not a national of a country that is officially 
     designated by the Secretary of State as a state sponsor of 
     terrorism; or
       ``(E) is identified as a member of a group or sector that 
     the Secretary of State determines--
       ``(i) poses a substantial risk of submitting inaccurate 
     information in order to obtain a visa;
       ``(ii) has historically had visa applications denied at a 
     rate that is higher than the average rate of such denials; or
       ``(iii) poses a security threat to the United States.''.
       (b) Conduct During Interviews.--Section 222 of the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1202), as amended 
     by subsection (a), is further amended by adding at the end 
     the following new subsection:
       ``(i) A consular officer who is conducting an in person 
     interview with an alien applying for a visa or other 
     documentation shall--
       ``(1) make every effort to conduct such interview fairly;
       ``(2) employ high professional standards during such 
     interview;
       ``(3) use best interviewing techniques to elicit pertinent 
     information to assess the alien's qualifications, including 
     techniques to identify any potential security concerns posed 
     by the alien;
       ``(4) provide the alien with an adequate opportunity to 
     present evidence establishing the accuracy of the information 
     in the alien's application; and
       ``(5) make a careful record of the interview to document 
     the basis for the final action on the alien's application, if 
     appropriate.''.

     SEC. 403. VISA APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS.

       Section 222(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 
     U.S.C. 1202(c)) is amended by inserting ``The alien shall 
     provide complete and accurate information in response to any 
     request for information contained in the application.'' after 
     the second sentence.

     SEC. 404. EFFECTIVE DATE.

       Notwithstanding section 341 or any other provision of this 
     Act, this title shall take effect 90 days after date of the 
     enactment of this Act.

 TITLE __--THE ROLE OF DIPLOMACY, FOREIGN AID, AND THE MILITARY IN THE 
                            WAR ON TERRORISM

     SEC. __01. FINDINGS.

       Consistent with the report of the National Commission on 
     Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
     following findings:
       (1) Long-term success in the war on terrorism demands the 
     use of all elements of national power, including diplomacy, 
     military action, intelligence, covert action, law 
     enforcement, economic policy, foreign aid, public diplomacy, 
     and homeland defense.
       (2) To win the war on terrorism, the United States must 
     assign to economic and diplomatic capabilities the same 
     strategic priority that is assigned to military capabilities.
       (3) The legislative and executive branches of the 
     Government of the United States must commit to robust, long-
     term investments in all of the tools necessary for the 
     foreign policy of the United States to successfully 
     accomplish the goals of the United States.
       (4) The investments referred to in paragraph (3) will 
     require increased funding to United States foreign affairs 
     programs in general, and to priority areas as described in 
     this title in particular.

     SEC. __02. TERRORIST SANCTUARIES.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Complex terrorist operations require locations that 
     provide such operations sanctuary from interference by 
     government or law enforcement personnel.
       (2) A terrorist sanctuary existed in Afghanistan before 
     September 11, 2001.
       (3) The terrorist sanctuary in Afghanistan provided direct 
     and indirect value to members of al Qaeda who participated in 
     the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 
     2001, and in other terrorist operations.
       (4) Terrorist organizations have fled to some of the least 
     governed and most lawless places in the world to find 
     sanctuary.
       (5) During the 21st century, terrorists are focusing on 
     remote regions and failing states as locations to seek 
     sanctuary.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States Government should identify and 
     prioritize locations that are or that could be used as 
     terrorist sanctuaries;
       (2) the United States Government should have a realistic 
     strategy that includes the use of all elements of national 
     power to keep possible terrorists from using a location as a 
     sanctuary; and
       (3) the United States Government should reach out, listen 
     to, and work with countries in bilateral and multilateral 
     fora to prevent locations from becoming sanctuaries and to 
     prevent terrorists from using locations as sanctuaries.

     SEC. __03. ROLE OF PAKISTAN IN COUNTERING TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Government of Pakistan has a critical role to 
     perform in the struggle against Islamist terrorism.
       (2) The endemic poverty, widespread corruption, and 
     frequent ineffectiveness of government in Pakistan create 
     opportunities for Islamist recruitment.
       (3) The poor quality of education in Pakistan is 
     particularly worrying, as millions of families send their 
     children to madrassahs, some of which have been used as 
     incubators for violent extremism.
       (4) The vast unpoliced regions in Pakistan make the country 
     attractive to extremists seeking refuge and recruits and also 
     provide a base for operations against coalition forces in 
     Afghanistan.
       (5) A stable Pakistan, with a moderate, responsible 
     government that serves as a voice of tolerance in the Muslim 
     world, is critical to stability in the region.
       (6) There is a widespread belief among the people of 
     Pakistan that the United States has long treated them as 
     allies of convenience.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should make a long-term commitment to 
     fostering a stable and

[[Page 20302]]

     secure future in Pakistan, as long as its leaders remain 
     committed to combatting extremists and extremism, ending the 
     proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, securing its 
     borders, and gaining internal control of all its territory 
     while pursuing policies that strengthen civil society, 
     promote moderation and advance socio-economic progress;
       (2) Pakistan should make sincere efforts to transition to 
     democracy, enhanced rule of law, and robust civil 
     institutions, and United States policy toward Pakistan should 
     promote such a transition;
       (3) the United States assistance to Pakistan should be 
     maintained at the overall levels requested by the President 
     for fiscal year 2005;
       (4) the United States should support the Government of 
     Pakistan with a comprehensive effort that extends from 
     military aid to support for better education;
       (5) the United States Government should devote particular 
     attention and resources to assisting in the improvement of 
     the quality of education in Pakistan; and
       (6) the Government of Pakistan should devote additional 
     resources of such Government to expanding and improving 
     modern public education in Pakistan.

     SEC. __04. AID TO AFGHANISTAN.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States and its allies in the international 
     community have made progress in promoting economic and 
     political reform within Afghanistan, including the 
     establishment of a central government with a democratic 
     constitution, a new currency, and a new army, the increase of 
     personal freedom, and the elevation of the standard of living 
     of many Afghans.
       (2) A number of significant obstacles must be overcome if 
     Afghanistan is to become a secure and prosperous democracy, 
     and such a transition depends in particular upon--
       (A) improving security throughout the country;
       (B) disarming and demobilizing militias;
       (C) curtailing the rule of the warlords;
       (D) promoting equitable economic development;
       (E) protecting the human rights of the people of 
     Afghanistan;
       (F) holding elections for public office; and
       (G) ending the cultivation and trafficking of narcotics.
       (3) The United States and the international community must 
     make a long-term commitment to addressing the deteriorating 
     security situation in Afghanistan and the burgeoning 
     narcotics trade, endemic poverty, and other serious problems 
     in Afghanistan in order to prevent that country from 
     relapsing into a sanctuary for international terrorism.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--
       (1) Actions for afghanistan.--It is the sense of Congress 
     that the Government of the United States should take, with 
     respect to Afghanistan, the following actions:
       (A) Working with other nations to obtain long-term 
     security, political, and financial commitments and 
     fulfillment of pledges to the Government of Afghanistan to 
     accomplish the objectives of the Afghanistan Freedom Support 
     Act of 2002 (22 U.S.C. 7501 et seq.), especially to ensure a 
     secure, democratic, and prosperous Afghanistan that respects 
     the rights of its citizens and is free of international 
     terrorist organizations.
       (B) Using the voice and vote of the United States in 
     relevant international organizations, including the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United Nations Security 
     Council, to strengthen international commitments to assist 
     the Government of Afghanistan in enhancing security, building 
     national police and military forces, increasing counter-
     narcotics efforts, and expanding infrastructure and public 
     services throughout the country.
       (C) Taking appropriate steps to increase the assistance 
     provided under programs of the Department of State and the 
     United States Agency for International Development throughout 
     Afghanistan and to increase the number of personnel of those 
     agencies in Afghanistan as necessary to support the increased 
     assistance.
       (2) Revision of afghanistan freedom support act of 2002.--
     It is the sense of Congress that Congress should, in 
     consultation with the President, update and revise, as 
     appropriate, the Afghanistan Freedom Support Act of 2002.
       (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--
       (1) In general.--There are authorized to be appropriated to 
     the President for each of the fiscal years 2005 through 2009 
     such sums as may be necessary to provide assistance for 
     Afghanistan, unless otherwise authorized by Congress, for the 
     following purposes:
       (A) For development assistance under sections 103, 105, and

     SEC. __05. THE UNITED STATES-SAUDI ARABIA RELATIONSHIP.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Despite a long history of friendly relations with the 
     United States, Saudi Arabia has been a problematic ally in 
     combating Islamist extremism.
       (2) Cooperation between the Governments of the United 
     States and Saudi Arabia has traditionally been carried out in 
     private.
       (3) Counterterrorism cooperation between the Governments of 
     the United States and Saudi Arabia has improved significantly 
     since the terrorist bombing attacks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 
     on May 12, 2003, especially cooperation to combat terror 
     groups operating inside Saudi Arabia.
       (4) The Government of Saudi Arabia is now pursuing al Qaeda 
     within Saudi Arabia and has begun to take some modest steps 
     toward internal reform.
       (5) Nonetheless, the Government of Saudi Arabia has been at 
     times unresponsive to United States requests for assistance 
     in the global war on Islamist terrorism.
       (6) The Government of Saudi Arabia has not done all it can 
     to prevent nationals of Saudi Arabia from funding and 
     supporting extremist organizations in Saudi Arabia and other 
     countries.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the problems in the relationship between the United 
     States and Saudi Arabia must be confronted openly, and the 
     opportunities for cooperation between the countries must be 
     pursued openly by those governments;
       (2) both governments must build a relationship that they 
     can publicly defend and that is based on other national 
     interests in addition to their national interests in oil;
       (3) this relationship should include a shared commitment to 
     political and economic reform in Saudi Arabia;
       (4) this relationship should also include a shared interest 
     in greater tolerance and respect for other cultures in Saudi 
     Arabia and a commitment to fight the violent extremists who 
     foment hatred in the Middle East; and
       (5) the Government of Saudi Arabia must do all it can to 
     prevent nationals of Saudi Arabia from funding and supporting 
     extremist organizations in Saudi Arabia and other countries.

     SEC. __06. EFFORTS TO COMBAT ISLAMIST TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) While support for the United States has plummeted in 
     the Islamic world, many negative views are uninformed, at 
     best, and, at worst, are informed by coarse stereotypes and 
     caricatures.
       (2) Local newspapers in Islamic countries and influential 
     broadcasters who reach Islamic audiences through satellite 
     television often reinforce the idea that the people and 
     Government of the United States are anti-Muslim.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Government of the United States should offer an 
     example of moral leadership in the world that includes a 
     commitment to treat all people humanely, abide by the rule of 
     law, and be generous to the people and governments of other 
     countries;
       (2) the United States should cooperate with governments of 
     Islamic countries to foster agreement on respect for human 
     dignity and opportunity, and to offer a vision of a better 
     future that includes stressing life over death, individual 
     educational and economic opportunity, widespread political 
     participation, contempt for indiscriminate violence, respect 
     for the rule of law, openness in discussing differences, and 
     tolerance for opposing points of view;
       (3) the United States should encourage reform, freedom, 
     democracy, and opportunity for Arabs and Muslims and promote 
     moderation in the Islamic world; and
       (4) the United States should work to defeat extremist 
     ideology in the Islamic world by providing assistance to 
     moderate Arabs and Muslims to combat extremist ideas.

     SEC. __07. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD DICTATORSHIPS.

       (a) Finding.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress finds that short-term gains enjoyed by the United 
     States through cooperation with repressive dictatorships have 
     often been outweighed by long-term setbacks for the stature 
     and interests of the United States.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) United States foreign policy should promote the value 
     of life and the importance of individual educational and 
     economic opportunity, encourage widespread political 
     participation, condemn indiscriminate violence, and promote 
     respect for the rule of law, openness in discussing 
     differences among people, and tolerance for opposing points 
     of view; and
       (2) the United States Government must prevail upon the 
     governments of all predominantly Muslim countries, including 
     those that are friends and allies of the United States, to 
     condemn indiscriminate violence, promote the value of life, 
     respect and promote the principles of individual education 
     and economic opportunity, encourage widespread political 
     participation, and promote the rule of law, openness in 
     discussing differences among people, and tolerance for 
     opposing points of view.

     SEC. __08. PROMOTION OF UNITED STATES VALUES THROUGH 
                   BROADCAST MEDIA.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Although the United States has demonstrated and 
     promoted its values in defending Muslims against tyrants and 
     criminals in Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq, 
     this message is not always clearly presented and understood 
     in the Islamic world.
       (2) If the United States does not act to vigorously define 
     its message in the Islamic world, the image of the United 
     States will be defined by Islamic extremists who seek to 
     demonize the United States.
       (3) Recognizing that many Arab and Muslim audiences rely on 
     satellite television and radio, the United States Government 
     has launched promising initiatives in television and radio 
     broadcasting to the Arab world, Iran, and Afghanistan.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States must do more to defend and promote 
     its values and ideals to the broadest possible audience in 
     the Islamic world;
       (2) United States efforts to defend and promote these 
     values and ideals are beginning to ensure that accurate 
     expressions of these values reach large audiences in the 
     Islamic world and should be robustly supported;
       (3) the United States Government could and should do more 
     to engage the Muslim world in the struggle of ideas; and
       (4) the United States Government should more intensively 
     employ existing broadcast media in the Islamic world as part 
     of this engagement.
       (c) Authorizations of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated to the President for each of the fiscal 
     years 2005 through 2009 such sums as may be necessary to 
     carry out United States Government broadcasting activities 
     under the United States Information and Educational Exchange 
     Act of 1948 (22 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.), the United States 
     International Broadcasting Act of 1994 (22 U.S.C. 6201 et 
     seq.), and the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act 
     of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.), and to carry out other 
     activities under this section consistent with the purposes of 
     such Acts, unless otherwise authorized by Congress.

     SEC. __09. EXPANSION OF UNITED STATES SCHOLARSHIP AND 
                   EXCHANGE PROGRAMS IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Exchange, scholarship, and library programs are 
     effective ways for the United States Government to promote 
     internationally the values and ideals of the United States.
       (2) Exchange, scholarship, and library programs can expose 
     young people from other countries to United States values and 
     offer them knowledge and hope.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the United States should expand its exchange, scholarship, 
     and library programs, especially those that benefit people in 
     the Arab and Muslim worlds.
       (c) Authority To Expand Educational and Cultural 
     Exchanges.--The President is authorized to substantially 
     expand the exchange, scholarship, and library programs of the 
     United States, especially such programs that benefit people 
     in the Arab and Muslim worlds.
       (d) Availability of Funds.--Of the amounts authorized to be 
     appropriated for educational and cultural exchange programs 
     in each of the fiscal years 2005 through 2009, there is 
     authorized to be made available to the Secretary of State 
     such sums as may be necessary to carry out programs under 
     this section, unless otherwise authorized by Congress.

     SEC. __10. INTERNATIONAL YOUTH OPPORTUNITY FUND.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Education that teaches tolerance, the dignity and value 
     of each individual, and respect for different beliefs is a 
     key element in any global strategy to eliminate Islamist 
     terrorism.
       (2) Education in the Middle East about the world outside 
     that region is weak.
       (3) The United Nations has rightly equated literacy with 
     freedom.
       (4) The international community is moving toward setting a 
     concrete goal of reducing by half the illiteracy rate in the 
     Middle East by 2010, through the implementation of education 
     programs targeting women and girls and programs for adult 
     literacy, and by other means.
       (5) To be effective, efforts to improve education in the 
     Middle East must also include--
       (A) support for the provision of basic education tools, 
     such as textbooks that translate more of the world's 
     knowledge into local languages and local libraries to house 
     such materials; and
       (B) more vocational education in trades and business 
     skills.
       (6) The Middle East can benefit from some of the same 
     programs to bridge the digital divide that already have been 
     developed for other regions of the world.
       (b) International Youth Opportunity Fund.--
       (1) Establishment.--The President shall establish an 
     International Youth Opportunity Fund to provide financial 
     assistance for the improvement of public education in the 
     Middle East.
       (2) International participation.--The President shall seek 
     the cooperation of the international community in 
     establishing and generously supporting the Fund.
       (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated to the President for the establishment of 
     the International Youth Opportunity Fund, in addition to any 
     amounts otherwise available for such purpose, such sums as 
     may be necessary for each of the fiscal years 2005 through 
     2009, unless otherwise authorized by Congress.

     SEC. __11. THE USE OF ECONOMIC POLICIES TO COMBAT TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) While terrorism is not caused by poverty, breeding 
     grounds for terrorism are created by backward economic 
     policies and repressive political regimes.
       (2) Policies that support economic development and reform 
     also have political implications, as economic and political 
     liberties are often linked.
       (3) The United States is working toward creating a Middle 
     East Free Trade Area by 2013 and implementing a free trade 
     agreement with Bahrain, and free trade agreements exist 
     between the United States and Israel and the United States 
     and Jordan.
       (4) Existing and proposed free trade agreements between the 
     United States and Islamic countries are drawing interest from 
     other countries in the Middle East region, and Islamic 
     countries can become full participants in the rules-based 
     global trading system, as the United States considers 
     lowering its barriers to trade with the poorest Arab 
     countries.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) a comprehensive United States strategy to counter 
     terrorism should include economic policies that encourage 
     development, open societies, and opportunities for people to 
     improve the lives of their families and to enhance prospects 
     for their children's future;
       (2) one element of such a strategy should encompass the 
     lowering of trade barriers with the poorest countries that 
     have a significant population of Arab or Muslim individuals;
       (3) another element of such a strategy should encompass 
     United States efforts to promote economic reform in countries 
     that have a significant population of Arab or Muslim 
     individuals, including efforts to integrate such countries 
     into the global trading system; and
       (4) given the importance of the rule of law in promoting 
     economic development and attracting investment, the United 
     States should devote an increased proportion of its 
     assistance to countries in the Middle East to the promotion 
     of the rule of law.

     SEC. __12. MIDDLE EAST PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE.

       (a) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized 
     to be appropriated for each of the fiscal years 2005 through 
     2009 such sums as may be necessary for the Middle East 
     Partnership Initiative, unless otherwise authorized by 
     Congress.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
     given the importance of the rule of law and economic reform 
     to development in the Middle East, a significant portion of 
     the funds authorized to be appropriated under subsection (a) 
     should be made available to promote the rule of law in the 
     Middle East.

     SEC. __13. COMPREHENSIVE COALITION STRATEGY FOR FIGHTING 
                   TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Almost every aspect of the counterterrorism strategy of 
     the United States relies on international cooperation.
       (2) Since September 11, 2001, the number and scope of 
     United States Government contacts with foreign governments 
     concerning counterterrorism have expanded significantly, but 
     such contacts have often been ad hoc and not integrated as a 
     comprehensive and unified approach.
       (b) International Contact Group on Counterterrorism.--
       (1) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the President--
       (A) should seek to engage the leaders of the governments of 
     other countries in a process of advancing beyond separate and 
     uncoordinated national counterterrorism strategies to develop 
     with those other governments a comprehensive coalition 
     strategy to fight Islamist terrorism; and
       (B) to that end, should seek to establish an international 
     counterterrorism policy contact group with the leaders of 
     governments providing leadership in global counterterrorism 
     efforts and governments of countries with sizable Muslim 
     populations, to be used as a ready and flexible international 
     means for discussing and coordinating the development of 
     important counterterrorism policies by the participating 
     governments.
       (2) Authority.--The President is authorized to establish an 
     international counterterrorism policy contact group with the 
     leaders of governments referred to in paragraph (1) for 
     purposes as follows:
       (A) To develop in common with such other countries 
     important policies and a strategy that address the various 
     components of international prosecution of the war on 
     terrorism, including policies and a strategy that address 
     military issues, law enforcement, the collection, analysis, 
     and dissemination of intelligence, issues relating to 
     interdiction of travel by terrorists, counterterrorism-
     related customs issues, financial issues, and issues relating 
     to terrorist sanctuaries.
       (B) To address, to the extent (if any) that the President 
     and leaders of other participating governments determine 
     appropriate, such long-term issues as economic and political 
     reforms that can contribute to strengthening stability and 
     security in the Middle East.

     SEC. __14. TREATMENT OF FOREIGN PRISONERS.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Carrying out the global war on terrorism requires the 
     development of policies with respect to the detention and 
     treatment of captured international terrorists that are 
     adhered to by all coalition forces.
       (2) Article 3 of the Convention Relative to the Treatment 
     of Prisoners of War, done at Geneva August 12, 1949 (6 UST 
     3316) was specifically designed for cases in which the usual 
     rules of war do not apply, and the minimum standards of 
     treatment pursuant to such Article are generally accepted 
     throughout the world as customary international law.
       (b) Policy.--The policy of the United States is as follows:
       (1) It is the policy of the United States to treat all 
     foreign persons captured, detained, interned or otherwise 
     held in the custody of the United States (hereinafter 
     ``prisoners'') humanely and in accordance with standards that 
     the United States would consider legal if perpetrated by the 
     enemy against an American prisoner.
       (2) It is the policy of the United States that all 
     officials of the United States are bound both in wartime and 
     in peacetime by the legal prohibition against torture, cruel, 
     inhuman or degrading treatment.
       (3) If there is any doubt as to whether prisoners are 
     entitled to the protections afforded by the Geneva 
     Conventions, such prisoners shall enjoy the protections of 
     the Geneva Conventions until such time as their status can be 
     determined pursuant to the procedures authorized by Army 
     Regulation 190-8, Section 1-6.
       (4) It is the policy of the United States to expeditiously 
     prosecute cases of terrorism or other criminal acts alleged 
     to have been committed by prisoners in the custody of the 
     United States Armed Forces at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in order 
     to avoid the indefinite detention of prisoners, which is 
     contrary to the legal principles and security interests of 
     the United States.
       (c) Reporting.--The Department of Defense shall submit to 
     the appropriate congressional committees:
       (1) A quarterly report providing the number of prisoners 
     who were denied Prisoner of War (POW) status under the Geneva 
     Conventions and the basis for denying POW status to each such 
     prisoner.
       (2) A report setting forth--
       (A) the proposed schedule for military commissions to be 
     held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; and
       (B) the number of individuals currently held at Guantanamo 
     Bay, Cuba, the number of such individuals who are unlikely to 
     face a military commission in the next six months, and each 
     reason for not bringing such individuals before a military 
     commission.
       (3) All International Committee of the Red Cross reports, 
     completed prior to the enactment of this Act, concerning the 
     treatment of prisoners in United States custody at Guantanamo 
     Bay, Cuba, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Such ICRC reports should be 
     provided, in classified form, not later than 15 days after 
     enactment of this Act.
       (4) A report setting forth all prisoner interrogation 
     techniques approved by officials of the United States.
       (d) Annual Training Requirement.--The Department of Defense 
     shall certify that all Federal employees and civilian 
     contractors engaged in the handling or interrogating of 
     prisoners have fulfilled an annual training requirement on 
     the laws of war, the Geneva Conventions and the obligations 
     of the United States under international humanitarian law.
       (e) Prohibition on Torture or Cruel, Inhumane, or Degrading 
     Treatment or Punishment.--
       (1) In general.--No prisoner shall be subject to torture or 
     cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment or punishment that is 
     prohibited by the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the 
     United States.
       (2) Relationship to geneva conventions.--Nothing in this 
     section shall affect the status of any person under the 
     Geneva Conventions or whether any person is entitled to the 
     protections of the Geneva Conventions.
       (f) Rules, Regulations, and Guidelines.--
       (1) Requirement.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary and the Director 
     shall prescribe the rules, regulations, or guidelines

     Government and by any person providing services to the United 
     States Government on a contract basis.
       (2) Report to congress.--The Secretary and the Director 
     shall submit to Congress the rules, regulations, or 
     guidelines prescribed under paragraph (1), and any 
     modifications to such rules, regulations, or guidelines--
       (A) not later than 30 days after the effective date of such 
     rules, regulations, guidelines, or modifications; and
       (B) in a manner and form that will protect the national 
     security interests of the United States.
       (g) Reports on Possible Violations.--
       (1) Requirement.--The Secretary and the Director shall each 
     submit, on a timely basis and not less than twice each year,

     a person providing services to the United States Government 
     on a contract basis.
       (2) Form of report.--A report required under paragraph (1) 
     shall be submitted in a manner and form that--
       (A) will protect the national security interests of the 
     United States; and
       (B) will not prejudice any prosecution of an individual 
     involved in, or responsible for, a violation of the 
     prohibition in subsection (e)(1).

     Humane Treatment of Captured Terrorists.--Not later than 180 
     days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     President shall submit to Congress a report describing the 
     efforts of the United States Government to develop an 
     approach toward the detention and humane treatment of 
     captured international terrorists that will be adhered to by 
     all countries that are members of the coalition against 
     terrorism.
       (i) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment or 
     punishment.--The term ``cruel, inhumane, or degrading

     SEC. __15. PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Al Qaeda and other terror groups have tried to acquire 
     or make weapons of mass destruction since 1994 or earlier.
       (2) The United States doubtless would be a prime target for 
     use of any such weapon by al Qaeda.
       (3) Although the United States Government has supported the 
     Cooperative Threat Reduction, Global Threat Reduction 
     Initiative, and other nonproliferation assistance programs, 
     nonproliferation experts continue to express deep concern 
     about the adequacy of such efforts to secure weapons of mass 
     destruction and related materials that still exist in Russia 
     other countries of the former Soviet Union, and around the 
     world.
       (4) The cost of increased investment in the prevention of 
     proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and related 
     materials is greatly outweighed by the potentially 
     catastrophic cost to the United States of the use of such 
     weapons by terrorists.
       (5) The Cooperative Threat Reduction, Global Threat 
     Reduction Initiative, and other nonproliferation assistance 
     programs are the United States primary method of preventing 
     the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and related 
     materials from Russia and the states of the former Soviet 
     Union, but require further expansion, improvement, and 
     resources.
       (6) Better coordination is needed within the executive 
     branch of government for the budget development, oversight, 
     and implementation of the Cooperative Threat Reduction, 
     Global Threat Reduction Initiative, and other 
     nonproliferation assistance programs, and critical elements 
     of such programs are operated by the Departments of Defense, 
     Energy, and State.
       (7) The effective implementation of the Cooperative Threat 
     Reduction, Global Threat Reduction Initiative, and other 
     nonproliferation assistance programs in the countries of the 
     former Soviet Union is hampered by Russian behavior and 
     conditions on the provision of assistance under such programs 
     that are unrelated to bilateral cooperation on weapons 
     dismantlement.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) maximum effort to prevent the proliferation of weapons 
     of mass destruction and related materials, wherever such 
     proliferation may occur, is warranted;
       (2) the Cooperative Threat Reduction, Global Threat 
     Reduction Initiative, and other nonproliferation assistance 
     programs should be expanded, improved, accelerated, and 
     better funded to address the global dimensions of the 
     proliferation threat; and
       (3) the Proliferation Security Initiative is an important 
     counterproliferation program that should be expanded to 
     include additional partners.
       (c) Cooperative Threat Reduction, Global Threat Reduction 
     Initiative, and Other Nonproliferation Assistance Programs.--
     In this section, the term ``Cooperative Threat Reduction, 
     Global Threat Reduction Initiative, and other 
     nonproliferation assistance programs'' includes--
       (1) the programs specified in section 1501(b) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 
     (Public Law 104-201; 50 U.S.C. 2362 note);
       (2) the activities for which appropriations are authorized 
     by section 3101(a)(2) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-136; 117 Stat. 
     1742);
       (3) the Department of State program of assistance to 
     science centers;
       (4) the Global Threat Reduction Initiative of the 
     Department of Energy; and
       (5) a program of any agency of the Federal Government 
     having the purpose of assisting any foreign government in 
     preventing nuclear weapons, plutonium, highly enriched 
     uranium, or other materials capable of sustaining an 
     explosive nuclear chain reaction, or nuclear weapons 
     technology from becoming available to terrorist 
     organizations.
       (d) Strategy and Plan.--
       (1) Strategy.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to 
     Congress--
       (A) a comprehensive strategy for expanding and 
     strengthening the Cooperative Threat Reduction, Global Threat 
     Reduction Initiative, and other nonproliferation assistance 
     programs; and
       (B) an estimate of the funding necessary to execute such 
     strategy.
       (2) Plan.--The strategy required by paragraph (1) shall 
     include a plan for securing the nuclear weapons and related 
     materials that are the most likely to be acquired or sought 
     by, and susceptible to becoming available to, terrorist 
     organizations, including--
       (A) a prioritized list of the most dangerous and vulnerable 
     sites;
       (B) measurable milestones for improving United States 
     nonproliferation assistance programs;
       (C) a schedule for achieving such milestones; and
       (D) initial estimates of the resources necessary to achieve 
     such milestones under such schedule.

     SEC. __16. FINANCING OF TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
     Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
     Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) While efforts to designate and freeze the assets of 
     terrorist financiers have been relatively unsuccessful, 
     efforts to target the relatively small number of al Qaeda 
     financial facilitators have been valuable and successful.
       (2) The death or capture of several important financial 
     facilitators has decreased the amount of money available to 
     al Qaeda, and has made it more difficult for al Qaeda to 
     raise and move money.
       (3) The capture of al Qaeda financial facilitators has 
     provided a windfall of intelligence that can be used to 
     continue the cycle of disruption.
       (4) The United States Government has rightly recognized 
     that information about terrorist money helps in understanding 
     terror networks, searching them out, and disrupting their 
     operations.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) a critical weapon in the effort to stop terrorist 
     financing should be the targeting of terrorist financial 
     facilitators by intelligence and law enforcement agencies; 
     and
       (2) efforts to track terrorist financing must be paramount 
     in United States counter-terrorism efforts.
       (c) Report on Terrorist Financing.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to 
     Congress a report evaluating the effectiveness of United 
     States efforts to curtail the international financing of 
     terrorism.
       (2) Contents.--The report required by paragraph (1) shall 
     evaluate and make recommendations on--
       (A) the effectiveness of efforts and methods to the 
     identification and tracking of terrorist financing;
       (B) ways to improve multinational and international 
     governmental cooperation in this effort;
       (C) ways to improve the effectiveness of financial 
     institutions in this effort;
       (D) the adequacy of agency coordination, nationally and 
     internationally, including international treaties and 
     compacts, in this effort and ways to improve that 
     coordination; and
       (E) recommendations for changes in law and additional 
     resources required to improve this effort.

                                 ______
                                 
  SA 3943. Mr. INOFE (for Mr. Gregg (for himself, Mr. Harkin, Mr.

     following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Assistive Technology Act of

              assistive technology. 
``Sec. 6. National activities.
``Sec. 7. Administrative provisions. 
``Sec. 8. Authorization of appropriations. 

     ``SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       ``(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       ``(1) Over 54,000,000 individuals in the United States have 
     disabilities, with almost half experiencing severe 
     disabilities that affect their ability to see, hear, 
     communicate, reason, walk, or perform other basic life 
     functions.
       ``(2) Disability is a natural part of the human experience 
     and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to--
       ``(A) live independently;
       ``(B) enjoy self-determination and make choices;
       ``(C) benefit from an education;
       ``(D) pursue meaningful careers; and
       ``(E) enjoy full inclusion and integration in the economic, 
     political, social, cultural, and educational mainstream of 
     society in the United States.
       ``(3) Technology is one of the primary engines for economic 
     activity, education, and innovation in the Nation, and 
     throughout the world. The commitment of the United States to 
     the development and utilization of technology is one of the 
     main factors underlying the strength and vibrancy of the 
     economy of the United States.
       ``(4) As technology has come to play an increasingly 
     important role in the lives of all persons in the United 
     States, in the conduct of business, in the functioning of 
     government, in the fostering of communication, in the conduct 
     of commerce, and in the provision of education, its impact 
     upon the lives of individuals with disabilities in the United 
     States has been comparable to its impact upon the remainder 
     of the citizens of the United States. Any development in 
     mainstream technology will have profound implications for 
     individuals with disabilities in the United States.
       ``(5) Substantial progress has been made in the development 
     of assistive technology devices, including adaptations to 
     existing devices that facilitate activities of daily living 
     that significantly benefit individuals with disabilities of 
     all ages. These devices, including adaptations, increase 
     involvement in, and reduce expenditures associated with, 
     programs and activities that facilitate communication, ensure 
     independent functioning, enable early childhood development, 
     support educational achievement, provide and enhance 
     employment options, and enable full participation in 
     community living for individuals with disabilities. Access to 
     such devices can also reduce expenditures associated with 
     early childhood intervention, education, rehabilitation and 
     training, health care, employment, residential living, 
     independent living, recreation opportunities, and other 
     aspects of daily living.
       ``(6) Over the last 15 years, the Federal Government has 
     invested in the development of comprehensive statewide 
     programs of technology-related assistance, which have proven 
     effective in assisting individuals with disabilities in 
     accessing assistive technology devices and assistive 
     technology services. This partnership between the Federal 
     Government and the States provided an important service to 
     individuals with disabilities by strengthening the capacity 
     of each State to assist individuals with disabilities of all 
     ages meet their assistive technology needs.
       ``(7) Despite the success of the Federal-State partnership 
     in providing access to assistive technology devices and 
     assistive technology services, there is a continued need to 
     provide information about the availability of assistive 
     technology, advances in improving accessibility and 
     functionality of assistive technology, and appropriate 
     methods to secure and utilize assistive technology in order 
     to maximize the independence and participation of individuals 
     with disabilities in society.
       ``(8) The combination of significant recent changes in 
     Federal policy (including changes to section 508 of the 
     Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d), accessibility 
     provisions of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (42 U.S.C. 
     15301 et seq.), and the amendments made to the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) by 
     the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001) and the rapid and
