               CHAPTER 2--ASSISTANCE FOR FIRST RESPONDERS

     SEC. 1111. SHORT TITLE.

       This chapter may be cited as the ``Faster and Smarter 
     Funding for First Responders Act of 2006''.

     SEC. 1112. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In order to achieve its objective of preventing, 
     minimizing the damage from, and assisting in the recovery 
     from terrorist attacks, the Department of Homeland Security 
     must play a leading role in assisting communities to reach 
     the level of preparedness they need to prevent and respond to 
     a terrorist attack.
       (2) First responder funding is not reaching the men and 
     women of our Nation's first response teams quickly enough, 
     and sometimes not at all.
       (3) To reform the current bureaucratic process so that 
     homeland security dollars reach the first responders who need 
     it most, it is necessary to clarify and consolidate the 
     authority and procedures of the Department of Homeland 
     Security that support first responders.
       (4) Ensuring adequate resources for the new national 
     mission of homeland security, without degrading the ability 
     to address effectively other types of major disasters and 
     emergencies, requires a discrete and separate grant making 
     process for homeland security funds for first response to 
     terrorist acts, on the one hand, and for first responder 
     programs designed to meet pre-September 11 priorities, on the 
     other.
       (5) While a discrete homeland security grant making process 
     is necessary to ensure proper focus on the unique aspects of 
     terrorism preparedness, it is essential that State and local 
     strategies for utilizing such grants be integrated, to the 
     greatest extent practicable, with existing State and local 
     emergency management plans.
       (6) Homeland security grants to first responders must be 
     based on the best intelligence concerning the capabilities 
     and intentions of our terrorist enemies, and that 
     intelligence must be used to target resources to the Nation's 
     greatest threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences.
       (7) The Nation's first response capabilities will be 
     improved by sharing resources, training, planning, personnel, 
     and equipment among neighboring jurisdictions through mutual 
     aid agreements and regional cooperation. Such regional 
     cooperation should be supported, where appropriate, through 
     direct grants from the Department of Homeland Security.
       (8) An essential prerequisite to achieving the Nation's 
     homeland security objectives for first responders is the 
     establishment of well-defined national goals for terrorism 
     preparedness. These goals should delineate the essential 
     capabilities that every jurisdiction in the United States 
     should possess or to which it should have access.
       (9) A national determination of essential capabilities is 
     needed to identify levels of State and local government 
     terrorism preparedness, to determine the nature and extent of 
     State and local first responder needs, to identify the human 
     and financial resources required to fulfill them, to direct 
     funding to meet those needs, and to measure preparedness 
     levels on a national scale.
       (10) To facilitate progress in achieving, maintaining, and 
     enhancing essential capabilities for State and local first 
     responders, the Department of Homeland Security should seek 
     to allocate homeland security funding for first responders to 
     meet nationwide needs.
       (11) Private sector resources and citizen volunteers can 
     perform critical functions in assisting in preventing and 
     responding to terrorist attacks, and should be integrated 
     into State and local planning efforts to ensure that their 
     capabilities and roles are understood, so as to provide 
     enhanced State and local operational capability and surge 
     capacity.
       (12) Public-private partnerships, such as the partnerships 
     between the Business Executives for National Security and the 
     States of New Jersey and Georgia, can be useful to identify 
     and coordinate private sector support for State and local 
     first responders. Such models should be expanded to cover all 
     States and territories.
       (13) An important aspect of terrorism preparedness is 
     measurability, so that it is possible to determine how 
     prepared a State or local government is now, and what 
     additional steps it needs to take, in order to prevent, 
     prepare for, respond to, mitigate against, and recover from 
     acts of terrorism.
       (14) The Department of Homeland Security should establish, 
     publish, and regularly update national voluntary consensus 
     standards

[[Page 17745]]

     for both equipment and training, in cooperation with both 
     public and private sector standard setting organizations, to 
     assist State and local governments in obtaining the equipment 
     and training to attain the essential capabilities for first 
     response to acts of terrorism, and to ensure that first 
     responder funds are spent wisely.

       ``(c) Prioritization of Grant Applications.--
       ``(1) Factors to be considered.--The Board shall evaluate 
     and annually prioritize all pending applications for covered

     capabilities of the applicants on a nationwide basis, lessen 
     the threat to, vulnerability of, and consequences for persons 
     (including transient commuting and tourist populations) and

     shall be based upon the most current risk assessment 
     available by the Directorate for Information Analysis and

     take into account any other specific threat to a population 
     (including a transient commuting or tourist population) or

     weight to threats of terrorism based upon their specificity 
     and credibility, including any pattern of repetition.

                   UNITED STATES NORTHERN COMMAND FOR DEFENSE OF 
                   THE UNITED STATES HOMELAND.

       (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the 9/11 
     Commission, Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The primary responsibility for national defense is with 
     the Department of Defense and the secondary responsibility 
     for national defense is with the Department of Homeland 
     Security, and the two departments must have clear 
     delineations of responsibility.
       (2) Before September 11, 2001, the North American Aerospace 
     Defense Command, which had responsibility for defending 
     United States airspace on September 11, 2001--
       (A) focused on threats coming from outside the borders of 
     the United States; and
       (B) had not increased its focus on terrorism within the 
     United States, even though the intelligence community had 
     gathered intelligence on the possibility that terrorists 
     might turn to hijacking and even the use of airplanes as 
     missiles within the United States.
       (3) The United States Northern Command has been established 
     to assume responsibility for defense within the United 
     States.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Secretary of Defense should regularly assess the 
     adequacy of the plans and strategies of the United States 
     Northern Command with a view to ensuring that the United 
     States Northern Command is prepared to respond effectively to 
     all military and paramilitary threats within the United 
     States; and
       (2) the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the

     should periodically review and assess the adequacy of those 
     plans and strategies.
       (c) Semiannual Report.--Not later than 90 days after the

     SEC. 1212. PRIVACY AND CIVIL LIBERTIES OVERSIGHT BOARD.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``9/11 
     Commission Civil Liberties Board Act''.
       (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On July 22, 2004 the National Commission on Terrorist 
     Attacks Upon the United States issued a report that included 
     41 specific recommendations to help prevent future terrorist 
     attacks, including details of a global strategy and 
     government reorganization necessary to implement that 
     strategy.
       (2) One of the recommendations focused on the protections 
     of civil liberties. Specifically the following recommendation 
     was made: ``At this time of increased and consolidated 
     government authority, there should be a board within the 
     executive branch to oversee adherence to the guidelines we 
     recommend and the commitment the government makes to defend 
     our civil liberties.''.
       (3) The report also states that ``the choice between 
     security and liberty is a false choice, as nothing is more 
     likely to endanger America's liberties than the success of a 
     terrorist attack at home. Our History has shown that the 
     insecurity threatens liberty at home. Yet if our liberties 
     are curtailed, we lose the values that we are struggling to 
     defend.''.
       (4) On December 17, 2004, Public Law 108-458, the National 
     Intelligence Reform Act, was signed into law. This law 
     created a civil liberties board that does not have the 
     authority necessary to protect civil liberties.
       (5) The establishment and adequate funding of a Privacy and 
     Civil Liberties Oversight Board was a crucial recommendation 
     made by the 9/11 Commission.
       (6) In its Final Report on 9/11 Commission Recommendations, 
     the Commission noted ``very little urgency'' and 
     ``insufficient'' funding as it relates to the establishment 
     of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board.
       (7) While the President's budget submission for fiscal year 
     2006 included $750,000 for the Privacy and Civil Liberties 
     Oversight Board, the President's budget submission for fiscal 
     year 2007 does not contain a funding line for the Board.
       (c) Making the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board 
     Independent.--Section 1061(b) of the Intelligence Reform and 
     Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 is amended by striking 
     ``within the Executive Office of the President'' and 
     inserting ``as an independent agency within the Executive 
     branch''.
       (d) Requiring All Members of the Privacy and Civil 
     Liberties Oversight Board Be Confirmed by the Senate.--
     Subsection (e) of section 1061 of the Intelligence Reform and 
     Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 is amended to read as 
     follows:
       ``(e) Membership.--
       ``(1) Members.--The Board shall be composed of a full-time 
     chairman and 4 additional members, who shall be appointed by 
     the President, by and with the advice and consent of the 
     Senate.
       ``(2) Qualifications.--Members of the Board shall be 
     selected solely on the basis of their professional 
     qualifications, achievements, public stature, expertise in 
     civil liberties and privacy, and relevant experience, and 
     without regard to political affiliation, but in no event

       (2) The current Financial Action Task Force designation 
     system does not adequately represent the progress countries 
     are making in combatting money laundering.
       (3) Lack of information about the compliance of countries 
     with anti-money laundering standards exposes United States 
     financial markets to excessive risk.
       (4) Failure to designate countries that fail to make 
     progress in combatting terrorist financing and money 
     laundering eliminates incentives for internal reform.
       (5) The Secretary of the Treasury has an affirmative duty 
     to provide to financial institutions and examiners the best 
     possible information on compliance with anti-money laundering 
     and terrorist financing initiatives in other markets.
       (b) Report.--Not later than March 1 each year, the 
     Secretary of the Treasury shall submit to the relevant

     applicable standards of each country against money laundering 
     and states whether that country is a country of primary money 
     laundering concern under section 5318A of title 31, United 
     States Code. The report shall include--
       (1) information on the effectiveness of each country in 
     meeting its standards against money laundering;
       (2) a determination of whether that the efforts of that 
     country to combat money laundering and terrorist financing 
     are adequate, improving, or inadequate; and
       (3) the efforts made by the Secretary to provide to the 
     government of each such country of concern technical 
     assistance to cease the activities that were the basis for 
     the determination that the country was of primary money 
     laundering concern.
       (c) Dissemination of Information in Report.--The Secretary 
     of the Treasury shall make available to the Federal Financial 
     Institutions Examination Council for incorporation into the 
     examination process, in consultation with Federal banking

     teaching of English, including programs that focus on the 
     education of women;
       (2) the secular education programs of MEPI and the United 
     States Agency for International Development are a 
     constructive start to answering the challenge of secular 
     education in predominantly Muslim countries;
       (3) the secular education programs of MEPI and the United 
     States Agency for International Development should be 
     components of an overall strategy for educational 
     assistance--itself one component of an overall

[[Page 17761]]

     United States strategy for counterterrorism--targeted where 
     the need and the benefit to the national security of the 
     United States are greatest; and
       (4) upon formation of a broader strategy for international

                      Subtitle C--Nonproliferation

     SEC. 1321. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Omnibus 
     Nonproliferation and Anti-Nuclear Terrorism Act of 2006''.

     SEC. 1322. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Loose nuclear weapons and materials in the former 
     soviet union.--
       (A) There are in the world today enormous stockpiles of 
     nuclear weapons and the materials required to make them. 
     Counting materials both in assembled warheads and in other 
     forms, worldwide totals are estimated to encompass some 1,900 
     tons of highly enriched uranium (enough for 143,000 nuclear 
     weapons) and 1,855 tons of plutonium (enough for 330,000 
     nuclear weapons).
       (B) The Russian Federation alone is estimated to have over 
     1,000 tons of highly enriched uranium (enough for over 80,000 
     nuclear weapons) and 140 tons of plutonium (enough for over 
     30,000 nuclear weapons).
       (C) The United States has been working for over a decade to 
     eliminate stockpiles of loose nuclear weapons and materials 
     in the former Soviet Union, but the Department of Energy 
     acknowledges that there is still a need to properly secure 
     about 460 tons of weapons-usable Russian nuclear material 
     (outside of warheads), enough for more than 35,000 nuclear 
     weapons.
       (D) A recent report by the Central Intelligence Agency 
     faulted the security of nuclear arsenal facilities in the 
     Russian Federation and assessed that ``undetected smuggling 
     has occurred.''
       (E) There are at least 18 documented incidents of 
     ``proliferation significant'' fissile material trafficking 
     from facilities in the former Soviet Union between 1991 and 
     2001. In one incident in 1998, an inside conspiracy at a 
     Russian nuclear weapons facility attempted to steal 18.5 
     kilograms of highly enriched uranium. In another incident, 2 
     kilograms of highly enriched uranium taken from a research 
     facility in Sukhumi, Georgia, has never been recovered.
       (F) In May 1994, German police found a small but worrisome 
     quantity of supergrade plutonium in the garage of Adolf 
     Jackle. Extremely expensive to produce, this rare item was 
     likely stolen from one of Russia's two premier nuclear 
     weapons laboratories.
       (G) Comprehensive security upgrades are not yet completed 
     at 90 percent of Russian nuclear warhead bunkers for Russia's 
     Strategic Rocket Forces.
       (H) Border security in the former Soviet Union is 
     inconsistent at best. Existing infrastructure helps at the 
     outer borders of the former Soviet Union but many borders 
     internal to the former Soviet Union, such as the border 
     between Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation, exist only on 
     a map.
       (2) Loose nuclear materials around the globe.--
       (A) Dangerous caches of weapons-usable nuclear materials, 
     much of it poorly secured and vulnerable to theft, exist in a 
     multitude of facilities around the world. For example, there 
     are over 130 research reactors in over 40 countries that 
     house highly enriched uranium, some with enough to 
     manufacture an atomic bomb. In total, about 40 tons of highly 
     enriched uranium, enough for over 1,000 nuclear weapons, is 
     estimated to remain in civilian research reactors.
       (B) Over the last 50 years, the United States is known to 
     have exported about 27.5 tons of highly enriched uranium to 
     43 countries to help develop nuclear power production or 
     bolster scientific initiatives. In 1996, the United States 
     began an effort to recover the more than 17.5 tons of the 
     nuclear material that was still overseas, but has recovered 
     only about 1 ton, according to the Department of Energy and 
     the Government Accountability Office.
       (C) It is especially important to keep highly enriched 
     uranium out of terrorists' hands because, with minimal 
     expertise, they could use it to make the simplest, gun-type 
     nuclear weapon--a device in which a high explosive is used to 
     blow one subcritical piece of highly enriched uranium from 
     one end of a tube into another subcritical piece held at the 
     opposite end of the tube.
       (D) To Osama bin Laden, acquiring weapons of mass 
     destruction is a ``religious duty''. Al Qaeda and more than 
     two dozen other terrorist groups are pursuing capability to 
     use weapons of mass destruction.
       (E) Osama bin Laden's press spokesman, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, 
     has announced that the group aspires ``to kill 4 million 
     Americans, including 1 million children,'' in response to 
     casualties supposedly inflicted on Muslims by the United 
     States and Israel.
       (F) Al Qaeda documents recovered in Afghanistan reveal a 
     determined research effort focused on nuclear weapons.
       (3) Security standards for all nuclear weapons and 
     materials.--
       (A) There are no international binding standards for the 
     secure handling and storage of nuclear weapons and materials.
       (B) Making a nuclear weapon requires only 4 to 5 kilograms 
     of plutonium or 12 to 15 kilograms of highly enriched 
     uranium.
       (C) In October 2001, the United States Government became 
     very concerned that Al Qaeda may have smuggled a 10-kiloton 
     Russian nuclear warhead into New York City. If placed in 
     lower Manhattan, such a device would probably kill 100,000 
     people instantly, seriously injure tens of thousands more, 
     and render the entire area uninhabitable for decades to come.
       (4) Russia's nuclear expertise.--
       (A) Employment at the large nuclear facilities in the 
     Russian Federation's 10 closed nuclear cities is estimated to 
     be in the range of 120,000 to 130,000 people, of whom 
     approximately 75,000 were employed on nuclear weapons-related 
     work.
       (B) Poor wages and living conditions in Russian ``nuclear 
     cities'' have inspired protests and strikes among the 
     employees working in them.
       (C) Insiders have been caught attempting to smuggle nuclear 
     materials out of these facilities, presumably to sell on the 
     lucrative black market.

     time, including but not limited to a fast-paced global effort 
     to ensure that every nuclear warhead and every kilogram of 
     weapons-usable nuclear material worldwide is secured and 
     accounted for, to standards sufficient to defeat demonstrated 
     terrorist and criminal threats, as rapidly as that objective 
     can be accomplished;
       (C) identify obstacles to accelerating and strengthening 
     efforts to prevent terrorists from getting and using nuclear 
     weapons, and raise approaches to overcoming these obstacles 
     for action by the President or other appropriate officials;
       (D) lead an effort, to be carried out jointly by the 
     various Federal agencies responsible for carrying out such 
     nonproliferation activities, to establish priorities among 
     those activities and to develop and implement strategies and 
     budgets that reflect those priorities;
       (E) build strong partnerships with respect to such 
     nonproliferation activities among Federal, State, and local 
     governments, foreign governments, international 
     organizations, and nongovernmental organizations; and
       (F) evaluate the scale, quality, and effectiveness of the 
     Federal effort with respect to such nonproliferation 
     activities and advise on appropriate actions.

     the Proliferation Security Initiative announced by the 
     President on May 31, 2003, placing particular emphasis on 
     including countries outside of NATO; and
       (2) the United States should engage the United Nations to 
     develop a Security Council Resolution to authorize the 
     Proliferation Security Initiative under international law, 
     including by providing legal authority to stop shipments of 
     weapons of mass destruction, their delivery systems, and 
     related materials.
       (b) Authorization of Appropriations Relating to

                   SECURITY STANDARDS FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND 
                   MATERIALS.

       It is the sense of Congress that the President should seek 
     to devise and implement standards to improve the security of 
     nuclear weapons and materials by--
       (1) establishing with other willing nations a set of 
     performance-based standards for the security of nuclear 
     weapons and weapons;
       (2) negotiating with those nations an agreement to adopt 
     the standards and implement appropriate verification measures 
     to assure ongoing compliance; and
       (3) coordinating with those nations and the International 
     Atomic Energy Agency to strongly encourage other states to 
     adopt and verifiably implement the standards.

     this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report on Russia's 
     non-strategic nuclear weapons. The report shall--
       (1) detail past and current efforts of the United States to 
     encourage a proper accounting for and securing of Russia's 
     non-strategic nuclear weapons and Russia's nuclear weapons, 
     whether strategic or non-strategic, that are not secured by 
     PALs or other electronic means;
       (2) detail the actions that are most likely to lead to 
     progress in improving the accounting for and securing or 
     dismantlement of such weapons; and
       (3) detail the feasibility of enhancing the national 
     security of the United States by developing increased

     SEC. 1336. STRENGTHENING THE NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION TREATY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Article IV of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
     Nuclear Weapons (commonly referred to as the Nuclear 
     Nonproliferation Treaty or NPT) (21 UST 483) states that 
     countries that are parties to the treaty have the 
     ``inalienable right . . . to develop research, production and 
     use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without 
     discrimination and in conformity with articles I and II of 
     this treaty.''.
       (2) The rights outlined under article IV include all fuel 
     cycle activities, despite the fact that uranium enrichment 
     and plutonium production potentially put a country in a 
     position to produce weapons usable material.
       (3) David Bergmann, former chairman of the Israeli Atomic 
     Energy Commission, stated: ``. . . by developing atomic 
     energy for peaceful uses, you reach the nuclear weapon 
     option. There are not two atomic energies''.
       (4) The wording of article IV has made it possible for 
     countries that are parties to the NPT treaty to use peaceful 
     nuclear programs as a cover for weapons programs. In 
     particular, the misuse by North Korea and Iran of these 
     provisions threatens to undercut the viability of the nuclear 
     nonproliferation regime and the entire system of 
     international nuclear commerce.
       (5) If the international community fails to devise 
     effective measures to deal with the ``loophole'' in article 
     IV, then there is a great likelihood that the ranks of 
     countries possessing nuclear weapons will increase markedly 
     in the next decade.
       (b) Presidential Report on Control of Nuclear Fuel Cycle 
     Technologies and Material.--Not later than 90 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit 
     to the appropriate congressional committees a report 
     identifying ways to more effectively control nuclear fuel 
     cycle technologies and material, including ways that the 
     United States can mobilize the international community to 
     close the ``loophole'' of article IV of the NPT, without 
     undermining the treaty itself.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Success in the global war on terrorism will require a 
     dramatic increase in institutional and personal expertise in 
     the languages and cultures of the societies where terrorism 
     has taken root, including a substantial increase in the 
     number of national security personnel who obtain expert 
     lingual training.
       (2) The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the 
     United States identified the countries in the Middle East, 
     South Asia, Southeast Asia, and West Africa as countries that 
     serve or could serve as terrorist havens.
       (3) Although 22 countries have Arabic as their official 
     language, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon 
     the United States found that a total of only 6 undergraduate 
     degrees for the study of Arabic were granted by United States 
     colleges and universities in 2002.
       (4) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
     Attacks Upon the United States contained several criticisms 
     of the lack of linguistic expertise in the Central 
     Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
     prior to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and called 
     for the Central Intelligence Agency to ``develop a stronger 
     language program, with high standards and sufficient 
     financial incentives''.
       (5) An audit conducted by the Department of Justice in July 
     2004, revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has a 
     backlog of hundreds of thousands of untranslated audio 
     recordings from terror and espionage investigations.
       (6) The National Security Education Program Trust Fund, 
     which funds critical grant and scholarship programs for 
     linguistic training in regions critical to national security, 
     will have exhausted all its funding by fiscal year 2006, 
     unless additional appropriations are made to the Trust Fund.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the overwhelming majority of Muslims reject terrorism 
     and a small, radical minority has grossly distorted the 
     teachings of one of the world's great faiths to seek 
     justification for acts of terrorism, such radical Islamic 
     fundamentalism constitutes a primary threat to the national 
     security interests of the United States, and an effective 
     strategy for combating terrorism should include increasing 
     the number of personnel throughout the Federal Government 
     with expertise in languages spoken in predominately Muslim 
     countries and in the culture of such countries;
       (2) Muslim-Americans constitute an integral and cherished 
     part of the fabric of American society and possess many 
     talents, including linguistic, historic, and cultural 
     expertise that should be harnessed in the war against 
     radical, fundamentalist terror; and
       (3) amounts appropriated for the National Flagship Language 
     Initiative pursuant to the amendments made by subsection 
     (e)(2) should be used to support the establishment, 
     operation, and improvement of programs for the study of 
     Arabic, Persian, and other Middle Eastern, South Asian, 
     Southeast Asian, and West African languages in institutes of 
     higher education in the United States.
       (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--
       (1) National security education trust fund.--Section 810 of 
     the David L. Boren National Security Education Act of 1991 
     (50 U.S.C. 1910) is amended by adding at the end the

       ``(2) Availability of funds.--Amounts appropriated pursuant

     remain available until expended and not more than $15,000,000 
     of such amounts may be obligated and expended during any

       (1) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
     Attacks Upon the United States stated that ``[v]igorous 
     efforts to track terrorist financing must remain front and 
     center in United States counterterrorism efforts''.
       (2) The report of the Independent Task Force sponsored by 
     the Council on Foreign Relations stated that ``currently 
     existing U. S. and international policies, programs, 
     structures, and organizations will be inadequate to assure 
     sustained results commensurate with the ongoing threat posed 
     to the national security of the United States''.
       (3) The report of the Independent Task Force contained the 
     conclusion that ``[l]ong-term success will depend critically 
     upon the structure, integration, and focus of the U. S. 
     Government--and any intergovernmental efforts undertaken to 
     address this problem''.
       (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
       (1) to work with the Government of Saudi Arabia to curtail 
     terrorist financing originating from that country using a 
     range of methods, including diplomacy, intelligence, and law 
     enforcement;
       (2) to ensure effective coordination and sufficient 
     resources for efforts of the agencies and departments of the 
     United States to disrupt terrorist financing by carrying out, 
     through the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence in 
     the Department of the Treasury, a comprehensive analysis of 
     the budgets and activities of all such agencies and 
     departments that are related to disrupting the financing of 
     terrorist organizations;
       (3) to provide each agency or department of the United 
     States with the appropriate number of personnel to carry out 
     the activities of such agency or department related to 
     disrupting the financing of terrorist organizations;
       (4) to centralize the coordination of the efforts of the 
     United States to combat terrorist financing and utilize 
     existing authorities to identify foreign jurisdictions and 
     foreign financial institutions suspected of abetting 
     terrorist financing and take actions to prevent the provision 
     of assistance to terrorists; and
       (5) to work with other countries to develop and enforce 
     strong domestic terrorist financing laws, and increase 
     funding for bilateral and multilateral programs to enhance 
     training and capacity-building in countries who request 
     assistance.
       (c) Authorization of Appropriations To Provide Technical 
     Assistance To Prevent Financing of Terrorists.--
       (1) In general.--There are authorized to be appropriated to 
     the President for the ``Economic Support Fund'' to provide

  TITLE XXII--PREVENTING THE GROWTH OF RADICAL ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM

             Subtitle A--Quality Educational Opportunities

     SEC. 2201. FINDINGS, POLICY, AND DEFINITION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
     Attacks Upon the United States stated that ``[e]ducation 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 Islamic terrorism''.
       (2) According to the United Nations Development Program 
     Arab Human Development Report for 2002, 10,000,000 children 
     between the ages of 6 through 15 in the Arab world do not 
     attend school, and \2/3\ of the 65,000,000 illiterate adults 
     in the Arab world are women.
       (3) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
     Attacks Upon the United States concluded that ensuring 
     educational opportunity is essential to the efforts of the 
     United States to defeat global terrorism and recommended that 
     the United States Government ``should offer to join with 
     other nations in generously supporting [spending funds] . . . 
     directly on building and operating primary and secondary 
     schools in those Muslim states that commit to sensibly 
     investing financial resources in public education''.
       (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
       (1) to work toward the goal of dramatically increasing the 
     availability of basic education in the developing world, 
     which will reduce the influence of radical madrassas and 
     other institutions that promote religious extremism;
       (2) to join with other countries in generously supporting 
     the International Youth Opportunity Fund authorized under 
     section 7114 of the 9/11 Commission Implementation Act of 
     2004 (Public Law 108-458), with the goal of building and 
     operating primary and secondary schools in Muslim countries 
     that commit to sensibly investing the resources of such 
     countries in public education;
       (3) to work with the international community, including 
     foreign countries and international organizations to raise 
     $7,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000 each year to fund education 
     programs in Muslim countries;
       (4) to offer additional incentives to countries to increase 
     the availability of basic education; and
       (5) to work to prevent financing of educational 
     institutions that support radical Islamic fundamentalism.
       (c) Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined.--In this 
     subtitle, the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' 
     means the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on

       (1) a list of countries that are making serious and 
     sustained efforts to increase the availability of basic 
     education and to close educational institutions that promote 
     religious extremism and terrorism;
       (2) a list of countries that are making efforts to increase 
     the availability of basic education and to close educational 
     institutions that promote religious extremism and terrorism, 
     but such efforts are not serious and sustained; and
       (3) a list of countries that are not making efforts to

     that undercuts tendencies and conditions that facilitate the 
     rise of terrorist organizations.
       (3) It is in the national security interests of the United 
     States to promote democracy, good governance, political 
     freedom, independent media, women's rights, private sector

            Subtitle C--Restoring American Moral Leadership

     SEC. 2221. ADVANCING UNITED STATES INTERESTS THROUGH PUBLIC 
                   DIPLOMACY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States needs to improve its communication of 
     information and ideas to people in foreign countries, 
     particularly in countries with significant Muslim 
     populations.
       (2) Public diplomacy should reaffirm the paramount 
     commitment of the United States to democratic principles, 
     including preserving the civil liberties of all the people of 
     the United States, including Muslim-Americans.
       (3) 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.''.
       (4) 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.
       (b) Special Authority for Surge Capacity.--The United 
     States International Broadcasting Act of 1994 (22 U.S.C. 6201

     SEC. 2223. TREATMENT OF DETAINEES.

       (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.
       (3) The Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
     States urged to the United States to engage its friends to 
     develop a common coalition approach toward the detention and 
     humane treatment of captured terrorists. The 9/11 Public 
     Discourse Project went on to give the Administration a 
     ranking of ``unfulfilled'' in this area, commenting that 
     ``[d]issession either at home or abroad on how the United 
     States treats captured terrorists only makes it harder to 
     build the diplomatic, political and military alliance 
     necessary to fight the war on terror effectively''.
       (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 
     ``detainees'') humanely and in accordance with the legal 
     obligations under United States law and international law, 
     including the obligations in the Convention Against Torture, 
     the Geneva Conventions, and the Detainee Treatment Act of 
     2005.
       (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 prohibitions against torture, 
     cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment set out in the 
     Constitution, laws, and treaties of the United States, as 
     reiterated by the Supreme Court in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (126 S. 
     Ct. 2749 (2006)).
       (3) If there is any doubt as to whether a detainee is 
     entitled to the protections afforded by the Geneva 
     Conventions, it is the policy of the United States that such 
     detainee shall enjoy the protections of the Convention 
     Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, done at Geneva 
     August 12, 1949 (6 UST 3316) until such time as the 
     detainee's status can be determined pursuant to the 
     procedures authorized by Army Regulation 190-8, Section 1-
     096.
       (4) It is the policy of the United States to expeditiously 
     process and, if appropriate, prosecute detainees in the 
     custody of the United States, including detainees in custody 
     at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
       (c) Reporting.--The Secretary shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees the following:

     of this Act, a report setting forth 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.
       (2) Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, a report setting forth all interrogation 
     techniques approved, as of the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, by officials of the United States for use with 
     detainees.
       (d) 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

                      Subtitle C--First Responders

     SEC. 2321. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In a report entitled ``Emergency First Responders: 
     Drastically Underfunded, Dangerously Unprepared'', an 
     independent task force sponsored by the Council on Foreign 
     Relations found that ``America's local emergency responders 
     will always be the first to confront a terrorist incident and 
     will play the central role in managing its immediate 
     consequences. Their efforts in the first minutes and hours 
     following an attack will be critical to saving lives, 
     establishing order, and preventing mass panic. The United 
     States has both a responsibility and a critical need to 
     provide them with the equipment, training, and other 
     resources necessary to do their jobs safely and 
     effectively.''.
       (2) The task force further concluded that many state and 
     local emergency responders, including police officers and 
     firefighters, lack the equipment and training needed to 
     respond effectively to a terrorist attack involving weapons 
     of mass destruction.
       (3) The Federal Government has a responsibility to ensure 
     that the people of the United States are protected to the 
     greatest possible extent against a terrorist attack, 
     especially an attack that utilizes nuclear, chemical, 
     biological, or radiological weapons, and consequently, the 
     Federal Government has a critical responsibility to address 
     the equipment, training, and other needs of State and local 
     first responders.

     SEC. 2322. RESTORATION OF JUSTICE ASSISTANCE FUNDING.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) State and local police officers, firefighters, and 
     emergency responders play an essential role in the efforts of 
     the United States to prevent terrorist attacks and, if an 
     attack occurred, to address the effects of the attack.
       (2) An independent task force has concluded that hundreds 
     of local police offices and firefighting and emergency 
     response units throughout the United States are unprepared 
     for responding to a terrorist attack involving nuclear, 
     chemical, biological, or radiological weapons.
       (3) The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant 
     Program provides critical Federal support for personnel, 
     equipment, training, and technical assistance for the 
     homeland security responsibilities of local law enforcement 
     offices.

[[Page 17771]]

       (4) The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 
     108-447) appropriated funding for the Edward Byrne Memorial 
     Justice Assistance Grant Program, a program that resulted 
     from the combination of the Edward Byrne Memorial Grant 
     Program and the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program.
       (5) Funding for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice 
     Assistance Grant Program, as provided in the Consolidated 
     Appropriations Act, 2005, has been reduced by nearly 50 
     percent since fiscal year 2002.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the President should request in the annual budget proposal, 
     and Congress should appropriate, the full amount authorized 
     to be appropriated in subsection (c).
       (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice 
     Assistance Grant Program--
       (1) for fiscal year 2007, $1,250,000,000;
       (2) for fiscal year 2008, $1,400,000,000; and
       (3) for fiscal year 2009, $1,600,000,000.

                        TITLE XXV--OTHER MATTERS

     SEC. 2501. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MILITARY COMMISSIONS FOR THE 
                   TRIAL OF PERSONS DETAINED IN THE GLOBAL WAR ON 
                   TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Constitution of the United States grants to 
     Congress the power ``To define and punish . . . Offenses 
     against the Law of Nations'', as well as the power ``To 
     declare War . . . To raise and support Armies . . . [and] To 
     provide and maintain a Navy.''.
       (2) On November 13, 2001, the President issued a military 
     order establishing military commissions to try individuals 
     detained in the global war on terrorism.
       (3) On June 29, 2006, the Supreme Court held in Hamdan v. 
     Rumsfeld (126 S. Ct. 2749 (2006)) that--
       (A) the authority to establish military commissions ``can 
     derive only from the powers granted jointly to the President 
     and Congress in time of war'';

[[Page 17777]]

       (B) the military commission established by the President to 
     try Hamdan ``lacks the power to proceed'' because the 
     procedures governing the commission departed impermissibly 
     from the procedures governing courts martial and the 
     requirements of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions; 
     and
       (C) procedures governing military commissions may depart 
     from the procedures governing courts martial ``only if some 
     practical need explains deviations from court-martial 
     practice''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) aliens detained by the United States who are alleged to 
     have violated the law of war should be tried for their 
     offenses;
       (2) it is in the national interest for Congress to exercise 
     its authority under the Constitution to enact legislation 
     authorizing and regulating the use of military commissions to 
     try and punish offenders against the law of war;
       (3) procedures established by Congress for the use of 
     military commissions should be consistent with the decision 
     of the Supreme Court in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld;
       (4) in drafting legislation for the use of military 
     commissions, the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives should take into account the 
     views of professional military lawyers who have experience in 
     prosecuting, defending, and judging cases under chapter 47 of 
     title 10, United States Code (the Uniform Code of Military 
     Justice);
       (5) the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate is 
     drafting a bipartisan proposal on military commissions that 
     reflects the views of senior military lawyers, and this 
     process must be allowed to move forward; and
       (6) as the Judge Advocate General of the Navy explained in 
     testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of the 
     Senate on July 13, 2006, ``[w]e need to think in terms of the 
     long view, and to always put our own sailors, soldiers, 
     Marines, and airmen in the place of an accused when we're 
     drafting these rules to ensure that these rules are 
     acceptable when we have someone in a future war who faces 
     similar rules''.

     SEC. 3315. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) United States government authorities should have the 
     legal authority to engage in electronic surveillance of any 
     telephone conversation in which one party is reasonably 
     believed to be a member or agent of a terrorist organization.
       (2) Absent emergency or other appropriate circumstances, 
     domestic electronic surveillance should be subject to 
     judicial review in order to protect the privacy of law 
     abiding Americans with no ties to terrorism.
       (3) The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 
     (FISA) authorizes the President to obtain a warrant for the 
     electronic surveillance of any telephone conversation in 
     which one party is reasonably believed to be a member or 
     agent of a terrorist organization. That Act also establishes 
     procedures for engaging in electronic surveillance without a 
     warrant on a temporary basis when emergency circumstances 
     make obtaining a warrant impractical.
       (4) During the quarter century since the enactment of the 
     Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, the Foreign 
     Intelligence Surveillance Court has issued a warrant for 
     electronic surveillance in response to all but 5 of the 
     approximately 19,000 applications for such a warrant.
       (5) Congress has amended the Foreign Intelligence 
     Surveillance Act of 1978 numerous times, including six times 
     since September 11, 2001, to streamline the procedures for 
     obtaining a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence 
     Surveillance Court.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate and 
     the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House 
     of Representatives must be fully briefed on the history, 
     operation, and usefulness of the warrantless wiretapping 
     program carried out by the National Security Agency;
       (2) Congress should modify the Foreign Intelligence 
     Surveillance Act of 1978 as needed to ensure that the 
     government may engage in electronic surveillance of telephone 
     conversations in which one party is reasonably believed to be 
     a member or agent of a terrorist organization;
       (3) the requirement that the government must, absent 
     emergency or other appropriate circumstances, obtain a 
     judicial warrant prior to engaging in electronic surveillance 
     of a United States person should remain in place to protect 
     the privacy of law abiding Americans with no ties to 
     terrorism; and
       (4) the President is not above the law and must abide by 
     congressionally-enacted procedures for engaging in electronic 
     surveillance.

                  DIVISION E--A NEW DIRECTION IN IRAQ

                 TITLE LI--UNITED STATES POLICY ON IRAQ

     SEC. 5001. UNITED STATES POLICY ON IRAQ.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``United 
     States Policy on Iraq Act of 2006''.
       (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Global terrorist networks, including those that 
     attacked the United States on September 11, 2001, continue to 
     threaten the

[[Page 17797]]

     national security of the United States and are recruiting, 
     planning, and developing capabilities to attack the United 
     States and its allies throughout the world.
       (2) Winning the fight against terrorist networks requires 
     an integrated, comprehensive effort that uses all facets of 
     power of the United States and the members of the 
     international community who value democracy, freedom, and the 
     rule of law.
       (3) The United States Armed Forces, particularly the Army 
     and Marine Corps, are stretched thin, and many soldiers and 
     Marines have experienced three or more deployments to combat 
     zones.
       (4) Sectarian violence has surpassed the insurgency and 
     terrorism as the main security threat in Iraq, increasing the 
     prospects of a broader civil war which could draw in Iraq's 
     neighbors.
       (5) United States and coalition forces have trained and 
     equipped more than 129,000 Iraqi soldiers, sailors, and 
     airmen, and more than 165,000 Iraqi police, highway patrol, 
     and other Ministry of Interior forces.
       (6) Of the 106 operational Iraqi Army combat battalions, 85 
     are either in the lead or operating independently, according 
     to the August 2006 report of the Administration to Congress 
     entitled ``Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq'';
       (7) Congress expressed its sense in the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (119 Stat. 3466) that 
     ``calendar year 2006 should be a period of significant 
     transition to full Iraqi sovereignty, with Iraqi security 
     forces taking the lead for the security of a free and 
     sovereign Iraq, thereby creating the conditions for the 
     phased redeployment of United States forces from Iraq''.
       (8) Iraq's security forces are heavily infiltrated by 
     sectarian militia, which has greatly increased sectarian 
     tensions and impeded the development of effective security 
     services loyal to the Iraq Government.
       (9) With the approval by the Iraqi Council of 
     Representatives of the ministers of defense, national 
     security, and the interior on June 7, 2006, the entire 
     cabinet of Prime Minister Maliki is now in place.
       (10) Pursuant to the Iraq Constitution, the Council of 
     Representatives is to appoint a Panel which will have 4 
     months to recommend changes to the Iraq Constitution.
       (11) Despite pledges of more than $8,000,000,000 in 
     assistance for Iraq by foreign governments other than the 
     United States at the Madrid International Donors' Conference 
     in October 2003, only $3,500,000,000 of such assistance has 
     been forthcoming.
       (12) The current open-ended commitment of United States 
     forces in Iraq is unsustainable and a deterrent to the Iraqis 
     making the political compromises and personnel and resource 
     commitments that are needed for the stability and security of 
     Iraq.
       (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that in 
     order to change course from an open-ended commitment and to 
     promote the assumption of security responsibilities by the 
     Iraqis, thus advancing the chances for success in Iraq--
       (1) the following actions need to be taken to help achieve 
     the broad-based and sustainable political settlement so 
     essential for defeating the insurgency and preventing all-out 
     civil war--
       (A) there must be a fair sharing of political power and 
     economic resources among all the Iraqi groups so as to invest 
     them in the formation of an Iraqi nation by either amendments 
     to the Iraq Constitution or by legislation or other means, 
     within the timeframe provided for in the Iraq Constitution;
       (B) the President should convene an international 
     conference so as to more actively involve the international 
     community and Iraq's neighbors, promote a durable political 
     settlement among Iraqis, reduce regional interference in 
     Iraq's internal affairs, encourage more countries to 
     contribute to Iraq's extensive needs, and ensure that pledged 
     funds are forthcoming;
       (C) the Iraq Government should promptly and decisively 
     disarm the militias and remove those members of the Iraqi 
     security forces whose loyalty to the Iraq Government is in 
     doubt; and
       (D) the President should--
       (i) expedite the transition of United States forces in Iraq 
     to a limited presence and mission of training Iraqi security 
     forces, providing logistic support of Iraqi security forces, 
     protecting United States infrastructure and personnel, and 
     participating in targeted counterterrorism activities;
       (ii) after consultation with the Government of Iraq, begin 
     the phased redeployment of United States forces from Iraq 
     this year; and
       (iii) submit to Congress a plan by the end of 2006 with 
     estimated dates for the continued phased redeployment of 
     United States forces from Iraq, with the understanding that 
     unexpected contingencies may arise;
       (2) during and after the phased redeployment of United 
     States forces from Iraq, the United States will need to 
     sustain a nonmilitary effort to actively support 
     reconstruction, governance, and a durable political solution 
     in Iraq; and
       (3) the President should carefully assess the impact that 
     ongoing United States military operations in Iraq are having 
     on the capability of the United States Government to conduct 
     an effective counterterrorism campaign to defeat the broader 
     global terrorist networks that threaten the United States.

   TITLE LII--SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF SENATE ON WAR AND RECONSTRUCTION 
                              CONTRACTING

     SEC. 5101. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have exerted very 
     large demands on the Treasury of the United States and 
     required tremendous sacrifice by the members of the Armed 
     Forces of the United States.
       (2) Congress has a constitutional responsibility to ensure 
     comprehensive oversight of the expenditure of United States 
     Government funds.
       (3) Waste and corporate abuse of United States Government 
     resources are particularly unacceptable and reprehensible 
     during times of war.
       (4) The magnitude of the funds involved in the 
     reconstruction of Afghanistan and Iraq and the war on 
     terrorism, together with the speed with which these funds 
     have been committed, presents a challenge to the effective 
     performance of the traditional oversight function of Congress 
     and the auditing functions of the executive branch.
       (5) The Senate Special Committee to Investigate the 
     National Defense Program, popularly know as the Truman 
     Committee, which was established during World War II, offers 
     a constructive precedent for bipartisan oversight of wartime 
     contracting that can also be extended to wartime and postwar 
     reconstruction activities.
       (6) The Truman Committee is credited with an extremely 
     successful investigative effort, performance of a significant 
     public education role, and achievement of fiscal savings 
     measured in the billions of dollars.
       (7) The public has a right to expect that taxpayer 
     resources will be carefully disbursed and honestly spent.

     SEC. 5102. SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON WAR AND RECONSTRUCTION
