                       [To accompany H. Res. 365]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 365, by a non-record vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 2601, the 
Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 2006 and 
2007, under a structured rule. The rule provides one hour of 
general debate equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on International 
Relations. The rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill.
    The rule provides that the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Committee on International 
Relations now printed in the bill modified by the amendment 
printed in Part A of the Rules Committee report shall be 
considered as an original bill for the purpose of amendment and 
shall be considered as read. The rule waives all points of 
order against the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
recommended by the Committee on International Relations.
    The rule makes in order only those amendments printed in 
Part B of this report. The rule provides that amendments shall 
be considered only in the order specified in this report, may 
be offered only by a Member designated in this report, shall be 
debatable for the time specified in this report equally divided 
and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be 
subject to amendment except as specified in this report, shall 
be considered as read, and shall not be subject to a demand for 
division of the question in the House or in the Committee of 
the Whole. The rule waives all points of order against 
amendments printed in this report.
    Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against the consideration 
of the bill and amendment in the nature of a substitute 
recommended by the Committee on International Relations 
includes waivers of clause 3(c)4 of Rule XIII (requiring the 
inclusion of a statement of general performance goals and 
objectives in the committee report), clause 4 of Rule XXI 
(prohibiting appropriations in legislative bills), clause 5(a) 
of Rule XXI (prohibiting tax or tariff provisions in a bill not 
reported by a committee with jurisdiction over revenue 
measures), section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act 
(consideration of legislation providing new budget authority in 
excess of a subcommittee's 302(b) allocation of such 
authority), and section 401 of the Congressional Budget Act 
(prohibiting consideration of legislation providing new 
entitlement authority which becomes effective during the 
current fiscal year); however, the amendment printed in part A 
of this report, which modifies the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Committee on International 
Relations, cures the points of order applicable under clause 4 
of Rule XXI, clause 5(a) of Rule XXI, and section 302(f) of the 
Congressional Budget Act.

SEC. 1114. ACCOUNTABILITY.

  (a) Certification of Creation of Independent Oversight 
Board.--In accordance with section 1171, a certification shall 
be required that certifies that the following reforms related 
to the establishment of an Independent Oversight Board (IOB) 
have been adopted by the United Nations:
          (1) An IOB is established from existing United 
        Nations budgetary and personnel resources. Except as 
        provided in this subsection, the IOB shall be an 
        independent entity within the United Nations and shall 
        not be subject to budget authority or organizational 
        authority of any entity within the United Nations.
          (2) The head of the IOB shall be a Director, who 
        shall be nominated by the Secretary General and who 
        shall be subject to Security Council approval by a 
        majority vote. The IOB shall also consist of four other 
        board members who shall be nominated by the Secretary 
        General and subject to Security Council approval by a 
        majority vote. The IOB shall be responsible to the 
        Security Council and the Director and board members 
        shall each serve terms of six years, except that the 
        terms of the initial board shall be staggered so that 
        no more than two board members' terms will expire in 
        any one year. No board member may serve more than two 
        terms. An IOB board member may be removed for cause by 
        a majority vote of the Security Council. The Director 
        shall appoint a professional staff headed by a Chief of 
        Staff and may employ contract staff as needed.
          (3) The IOB shall receive operational and budgetary 
        funding through appropriations by the General Assembly 
        from existing levels of United Nations budgetary and 
        personnel resources, and shall not be dependent upon 
        any other entity, bureau, division, department, or 
        specialized agency of the United Nations for such 
        funding.
          (4) While the IOB shall have the authority to 
        evaluate all operations of the United Nations, the 
        primary mission of the IOB is to oversee the Office of 
        Internal Oversight Services and the Board of External 
        Auditors. The IOB may direct the Office of Internal 
        Oversight Services or the Board of External Auditors to 
        initiate, abandon, or modify the scope of an 
        investigation. Every three months or more frequently 
        when appropriate, the IOB shall submit, as appropriate, 
        to the Secretary General, the Security Council, the 
        General Assembly, or the Economic and Social Council a 
        report on its activities, relevant observations, and 
        recommendations relating to itsaudit operations, 
including information relating to the inventory and status of 
investigations by the Office of Internal Oversight Services.
          (5) In extraordinary circumstances and with the 
        concurrence of the Secretary General or the Security 
        Council by majority vote, the IOB may augment the 
        Office of Internal Oversight Services with a special 
        investigator and staff consisting of individuals who

                        nuclear weapons states as recognized by 
                        the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
                        Nuclear Weapons (21 UST 483) (commonly 
                        referred to as the ``Nuclear 
                        Nonproliferation Treaty'' or the 
                        ``NPT'').

                be staffed from existing personnel in the 
                Department of Safeguards of the IAEA or the 
                Department of Nuclear Safety and Security of 
                the IAEA.

                        Member States of the IAEA with the 
                        Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and the 
                        Statute of the International Atomic

                          (ii) consider which additional 
                        measures are necessary to enhance the 
                        ability of the IAEA, beyond the 
                        verification mechanisms and authorities

                        the Safeguards Agreements between the 
                        IAEA and Member States of the IAEA, to 
                        detect with a high degree of confidence 
                        undeclared nuclear activities by a 
                        Member State.

                the IAEA to use the voice, vote, and influence 
                of the United States at the IAEA to ensure that 
                a Member State of the IAEA that is under 
                investigation for a breach of or noncompliance 
                with its IAEA obligations or the purposes and 
                principles of the Charter of the United Nations

                        meetings.
                  (B) Termination of penalties.--The penalties 
                specified under subparagraph (A) shall be 
                terminated when such investigation is concluded 
                and such Member State is no longer in such

        with, or has withdrawn from the Nuclear 
        Nonproliferation Treaty shall return to the IAEA all 
        nuclear materials and technology received from the 
        IAEA, any Member State of the IAEA, or any Member State 
        of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
  (b) United States Contributions.--
          (1) Voluntary contributions.--Voluntary contributions 
        of the United States to the IAEA should primarily be

        Security or activities relating to Nuclear 
        Verification.
          (2) Limitation on use of funds.--The President shall 
        direct the United States Permanent Representative to 
        the IAEA to use the voice, vote, and influence of the 
        United States at the IAEA to--
                  (A) ensure that funds for safeguards 
                inspections are prioritized for countries that 
                have newly established nuclear programs or are 
                initiating nuclear programs; and
                  (B) block the allocation of funds for any 
                other IAEA development, environmental, or 
                nuclear science assistance or activity to a

                        international terrorism and the 
                        government of which the Secretary has 
                        determined has not dismantled and 
                        surrendered its weapons of mass 
                        destruction programs under 
                        international verification;
                          (ii) that is under investigation for 
                        a breach of or noncompliance with its 
                        IAEA obligations or the purposes and

                        principles of the Charter of the United 
                        Nations.
          (3) Detail of expenditures.--The President shall 
        direct the United States Permanent Representative to 
        the IAEA to use the voice, vote, and influence of the

        regular budget presentation of the IAEA to Member 
        States of the IAEA, a detailed breakdown by country of 
        expenditures of the IAEA for safeguards inspections and 
        nuclear security activities.
  (c) Membership.--
          (1) In general.--The President shall direct the 
        United States Permanent Representative to the IAEA to 
        use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States 
        at the IAEA to block the membership on the Board of 
        Governors of the IAEA for a Member State of the IAEA 
        that has not signed and ratified the Additional 
        Protocol and--
                  (A) is under investigation for a breach of or 
                noncompliance with its IAEA obligations or the 
                purposes and principles of the Charter of the 
                United Nations; or
                  (B) that is in violation of its IAEA

                the Charter of the United Nations.
          (2) Criteria.--The United States Permanent 
        Representative to the IAEA shall make every effort to 
        modify the criteria for Board membership to reflect the 
        principles described in paragraph (1).
  (d) Small Quantities Protocol.--The President shall direct 
the United States Permanent Representative to the IAEA to use 
the voice, vote, and influence of the United States at the IAEA

regarding the Small Quantities Protocol in order to--
          (1) rescind and eliminate the Small Quantities 
        Protocol;
          (2) require that any IAEA Member State that has 
        previously signed a Small Quantities Protocol to sign, 
        ratify, and implement the Additional Protocol, provide 
        immediate access for IAEA inspectors to its nuclear-
        related facilities, and agree to the strongest 
        inspections regime of its nuclear efforts; and
          (3) require that any IAEA Member State that does not 
        comply with paragraph (2) to be ineligible to receive 
        nuclear material, technology, equipment, or assistance 
        from any IAEA Member State and subject to the penalties 
        described in subsection (a)(3).
  (e) Nuclear Program of Iran.--
          (1) United states action.--The President shall direct 
        the United States Permanent Representative to the IAEA 
        to use the voice, vote, and influence of the United 
        States at the IAEA to make every effort to ensure the 
        adoption of a resolution by the IAEA Board of Governors 
        that makes Iran ineligible to receive any nuclear 
        material, technology, equipment, or assistance from any 
        IAEA Member State and ineligible for any IAEA 
        assistance not related to safeguards inspections or 
        nuclear security until the IAEA Board of Governors 
        determines that Iran--
                  (A) is providing full access to IAEA 
                inspectors to its nuclear-related facilities;
                  (B) has fully implemented and is in 
                compliance with the Additional Protocol; and
                  (C) has permanently ceased and dismantled all

                enrichment and reprocessing.
          (2) Penalties.--If an IAEA Member State is determined 
        to have violated the prohibition on assistance to Iran 
        described in paragraph (1) before the IAEA Board of 
        Governors determines that Iran has satisfied the 
        conditions described in subparagraphs (A) through (C)

        equipment, or assistance from any IAEA Member State, 
        and shall be ineligible to receive any IAEA assistance 
        not related to safeguards inspections or nuclear 
        security until such time as the IAEA Board of Governors 
        makes such determination with respect to Iran.
  (f) Report.--Not later than six months after the date of the 
enactment of this Act and annually for two years thereafter, 
the President shall submit to the appropriate congressional

SEC. 1142. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE NUCLEAR SECURITY ACTION PLAN 
                    OF THE IAEA.

  It is the sense of Congress that the national security 
interests of the United States are enhanced by the Nuclear 
Security Action Plan of the IAEA and the Board of Governors 
should recommend, and the General Conference should adopt, a 
resolution incorporating the Nuclear Security Action Plan into 
the regular budget of the IAEA.

                        Subtitle D--Peacekeeping

SEC. 1151. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING REFORM OF UNITED NATIONS 
                    PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS.

  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) although United Nations peacekeeping operations 
        have contributed greatly toward the promotion of peace 
        and stability for the past 57 years and the majority of 
        peacekeeping personnel who have served under the United 
        Nations flag have done so with honor and courage, the 
        record of United Nations peacekeeping has been severely 
        tarnished by operational failures and unconscionable 
        acts of misconduct; and
          (2) if the reputation of and confidence in United 
        Nations peacekeeping operations is to be restored, 
        fundamental and far-reaching reforms, particularly in 
        the areas of planning, management, training, conduct, 
        and discipline, must be implemented without delay.

SEC. 1152. STATEMENT OF POLICY RELATING TO REFORM OF UNITED NATIONS 
                    PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS.

  It shall be the policy of the United States to pursue reform 
of United Nations peacekeeping operations in the following 
areas:
          (1) Planning and management.--
                  (A) Global audit.--As the size, cost, and 
                number of United Nations peacekeeping 
                operations have increased substantially over 
                the past decade, an independent audit of each 
                such operation, with a view toward ``right-
                sizing'' operations and ensuring that such 
                operations are cost effective, should be 
                conducted and its findings reported to the 
                Security Council.
                  (B) Review of mandates and closing 
                operations.--In conjunction with the audit 
                described in subparagraph (A), the United 
                Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations 
                should conduct a comprehensive review of all 
                United Nations peacekeeping operation mandates, 
                with a view toward identifying objectives that 
                are practical and achievable, and report its 
                findings to the Security Council. In 
                particular, the review should consider the 
                following:
                          (i) Activities that fall beyond the 
                        scope of traditional peacekeeping 
                        activities should be delegated to a new 
                        Peacebuilding Commission, described in 
                        paragraph (3).
                          (ii) Long-standing operations that 
                        are static and cannot fulfill their 
                        mandate should be downsized or closed.
                          (iii) Where there is legitimate 
                        concern that the withdrawal from a 
                        country of an otherwise static United 
                        Nations peacekeeping operation would 
                        result in the resumption of major 
                        conflict, a burden-sharing arrangement 
                        that reduces the level of assessed 
                        contributions, similar to that 
                        currently supporting the United Nations 
                        Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus, should be 
                        explored and instituted.
                  (C) Leadership.--As peacekeeping operations 
                become larger and increasingly complex, the 
                Secretariat should adopt a minimum standard of 
                qualifications for senior leaders and managers, 
                with particular emphasis on specific skills and 
                experience, and current senior leaders and 
                managers who do not meet those standards should 
                be removed or reassigned.
                  (D) Pre-deployment training.--Pre-deployment 
                training on interpretation of the mandate of 
                the operation, specifically in the areas of use 
                of force, civilian protection and field 
                conditions, the Code of Conduct, HIV/AIDS, and 
                human rights should be mandatory, and all 
                personnel, regardless of category or rank, 
                should be required to sign an oath that each 
                has received and understands such training as a 
                condition of participation in the operation.
                  (E) Gratis military personnel.--The General 
                Assembly should lift restrictions on the 
                utilization at the headquarters in New York, 
                the United States, of the Department of 
                Peacekeeping Operations of gratis military 
                personnel by the Department so that the 
                Department may accept secondments from Member 
                States of military personnel with expertise in 
                mission planning, logistics, and other 
                operational specialties.
          (2) Conduct and discipline.--
                  (A) Adoption of a uniform code of conduct.--A 
                single, uniform Code of Conduct that has the 
                status of a binding rule and applies equally to 
                all personnel serving in United Nations 
                peacekeeping operations, regardless of category 
                or rank, should be promulgated, adopted, and 
                enforced.
                  (B) Understanding the code of conduct.--All 
                personnel, regardless of category or rank, 
                should receive training on the Code of Conduct 
                prior to deployment with a peacekeeping 
                operation, in addition to periodic follow-on 
                training. In particular--
                          (i) all personnel, regardless of 
                        category or rank, should be provided 
                        with a personal copy of the Code of 
                        Conduct that has been translated into 
                        the national language of such 
                        personnel, regardless of whether such 
                        language is an official language of the 
                        United Nations;
                          (ii) all personnel, regardless of 
                        category or rank, should sign an oath 
                        that each has received a copy of the 
                        Code of Conduct, that each pledges to 
                        abide by the Code of Conduct, and that 
                        each understands the consequences of 
                        violating the Code of Conduct, 
                        including immediate termination of the 
                        participation of such personnel in the 
                        peacekeeping operation to which such 
                        personnel is assigned as a condition of 
                        appointment to such operation; and
                          (iii) peacekeeping operations should 
                        conduct educational outreach programs 
                        to reach local communities where 
                        peacekeeping personnel of such 
                        operations are based, including 
                        explaining prohibited acts on the part 
                        of United Nations peacekeeping 
                        personnel and identifying the 
                        individual to whom the local population 
                        may direct complaints or file 
                        allegations of exploitation, abuse, or 
                        other acts of misconduct.
                  (C) Monitoring mechanisms.--Dedicated 
                monitoring mechanisms, such as the Personnel 
                Conduct Units already deployed to support 
                United Nations peacekeeping operations in 
                Haiti, Liberia, Burundi, and the Democratic 
                Republic of Congo, should be present in each 
                operation to monitor compliance with the Code 
                of Conduct, and--
                          (i) should report simultaneously to 
                        the Head of Mission, the United 
NationsDepartment of Peacekeeping Operations, and the Associate 
Director of OIOS for Peacekeeping Operations (established under section 
1114(b)(9)); and
                          (ii) should be tasked with designing 
                        and implementing mission-specific 
                        measures to prevent misconduct, conduct 
                        follow-on training for personnel, 
                        coordinate community outreach programs, 
                        and assist in investigations, as OIOS 
                        determines necessary and appropriate.
                  (D) Investigations.--A permanent, 
                professional, and independent investigative 
                body should be established and introduced into 
                United Nations peacekeeping operations. In 
                particular--
                          (i) the investigative body should 
                        include professionals with experience 
                        in investigating sex crimes, as well as 
                        experts who can provide guidance on 
                        standards of proof and evidentiary 
                        requirements necessary for any 
                        subsequent legal action;
                          (ii) provisions should be included in 
                        a Model Memorandum of Understanding 
                        that obligate Member States that 
                        contribute troops to a peacekeeping 
                        operation to designate a military 
                        prosecutor who will participate in any 
                        investigation into an allegation of 
                        misconduct brought against an 
                        individual of such Member State, so 
                        that evidence is collected and 
                        preserved in a manner consistent with 
                        the military law of such Member State;
                          (iii) the investigative body should 
                        be regionally based to ensure rapid 
                        deployment and should be equipped with 
                        modern forensics equipment for the 
                        purpose of positively identifying 
                        perpetrators and, where necessary, for 
                        determining paternity; and
                          (iv) the investigative body should 
                        report directly to the Associate 
                        Director of OIOS for Peacekeeping 
                        Operations, while providing copies of 
                        any reports to the Department of 
                        Peacekeeping Operations, the Head of 
                        Mission, and the Member State 
                        concerned.
                  (E) Follow-up.--A dedicated unit, similar to 
                the Personnel Conduct Units, staffed and funded 
                through existing resources, should be 
                established within the headquarters of the 
                United Nations Department of Peacekeeping 
                Operations and tasked with--
                          (i) promulgating measures to prevent 
                        misconduct;
                          (ii) coordinating allegations of 
                        misconduct, and reports received by 
                        field personnel; and
                          (iii) gathering follow-up information 
                        on completed investigations, 
                        particularly by focusing on 
                        disciplinary actions against the 
                        individual concerned taken by the 
                        United Nations or by the Member State 
                        that is contributing troops to which 
                        such individual belongs, and sharing 
                        such information with the Security 
                        Council, the Head of Mission, and the 
                        community hosting the peacekeeping 
                        operation.
                  (F) Financial liability and victims 
                assistance.--Although peacekeeping operations 
                should provide immediate medical assistance to 
                victims of sexual abuse or exploitation, the 
                responsibility for providing longer-term 
                treatment, care, or restitution lies solely 
                with the individual found guilty of the 
                misconduct. In particular, the following 
                reforms should be implemented:
                          (i) The United Nations should not 
                        assume responsibility for providing 
                        long-term treatment or compensation by 
                        creating a ``Victims Trust Fund'', or 
                        any other such similar fund, financed 
                        through assessed contributions to 
                        United Nations peacekeeping operations, 
                        thereby shielding individuals from 
                        personal liability and reinforcing an 
                        atmosphere of impunity.
                          (ii) If an individual responsible for 
                        misconduct has been repatriated, 
                        reassigned, redeployed, or is otherwise 
                        unable to provide assistance, 
                        responsibility for providing assistance 
                        to a victim should be assigned to the 
                        Member State that contributed the 
                        troops to which such individual 
                        belonged or to the manager concerned.
                          (iii) In the case of misconduct by a 
                        member of a military contingent, 
                        appropriate funds shall be withheld 
                        from the troop contributing country 
                        concerned.
                          (iv) In the case of misconduct by a 
                        civilian employee or contractor of the 
                        United Nations, appropriate wages shall 
                        be garnished from such individual or 
                        fines shall be imposed against such 
                        individual, consistent with existing 
                        United Nations Staff Rules.
                  (G) Managers and commanders.--The manner in 
                which managers and commanders handle cases of 
                misconduct by those serving under them should 
                be included in their individual performance 
                evaluations, so that managers and commanders 
                who take decisive action to deter and address 
                misconduct are rewarded, while those who create 
                a permissive environment or impede 
                investigations are penalized or relieved of 
                duty, as appropriate.
                  (H) Data base.--A centralized data base 
                should be created and maintained within the 
                United Nations Department of Peacekeeping 
                Operations to track cases of misconduct, 
                including the outcome of investigations and 
                subsequent prosecutions, to ensure that 
                personnel who have engaged in misconduct or 
                other criminal activities, regardless of 
                category or rank, are permanently barred from 
                participation in future peacekeeping 
                operations.
                  (I) Welfare.--Peacekeeping operations should 
                assume responsibility for maintaining a minimum 
                standard of welfare for mission personnel to 
                ameliorate conditions of service, while 
                adjustments are made to the discretionary 
                welfare payments currently provided to Member 
                States that contribute troops to offset the 
                cost of operation-provided recreational 
                facilities.
          (3) Peacebuilding commission.--
                  (A) Establishment.--Consistent with the 
                recommendations of the High Level Panel Report, 
                the United Nations should establish a 
                Peacebuilding Commission, supported by a 
                Peacebuilding Support Office, to marshal the 
                efforts of the United Nations, international 
                financial institutions, donors, and non-
                governmental organizations to assist countries 
                in transition from war to peace.
                  (B) Structure and membership.--The Commission 
                should--
                          (i) be a subsidiary body of the 
                        United Nations Security Council, 
                        limited in size to ensure efficiency;
                          (ii) include members of the United 
                        Nations Security Council, major donors, 
                        major troop contributing countries, 
                        appropriate United Nations 
                        organizations, the World Bank, and the 
                        International Monetary Fund; and
                          (iii) invite the President of ECOSOC, 
                        regional actors, Member States that 
                        contribute troops, regional development 
                        banks, and other concerned parties that 
                        are not already members, as determined 
                        appropriate, to consult or participate 
                        in meetings as observers.
                  (C) Responsibilities.--The Commission should 
                seek to ease the demands currently placed upon 
                the Department of Peacekeeping Operations to 
                undertake tasks that fall beyond the scope of 
                traditional peacekeeping, by--
                          (i) developing and integrating 
                        country-specific and system-wide 
                        conflict prevention, post-conflict 
                        reconstruction, and long-term 
                        development policies and strategies; 
                        and
                          (ii) serving as the key coordinating 
                        body for the design and implementation 
                        of military, humanitarian, and civil 
                        administration aspects of complex 
                        missions.
                  (D) Resources.--The establishment of the 
                Peacebuilding Commission and the related 
                Peacebuilding Support Office, should be staffed 
                within existing resources.

SEC. 1153. CERTIFICATION.

  (a) New or Expanded Peacekeeping Operations Contingent Upon 
Presidential Certification of Peacekeeping Operations 
Reforms.--
          (1) No new or expanded peacekeeping operations.--
                  (A) Certification.--Except as provided in 
                subparagraph (B), until the Secretary of State 
                certifies that the requirements described in 
                paragraph (2) have been satisfied, the 
                President shall direct the United States 
                Permanent Representative to the United Nations 
                to use the voice, vote, and influence of the 
                United States at the United Nations to oppose 
                the creation of new, or expansion of existing, 
                United Nations peacekeeping operations.
                  (B) Exception and notification.--The 
                requirements described under subparagraphs (F) 
                and (G) of paragraph (2) may be waived until 
                January 1, 2007, if the President determines 
                that such is in the national interest of the 
                United States. If the President makes such a 
                determination, the President shall, not later 
                than 15 days before the exercise of such 
                waiver, notify the appropriate congressional 
                committees of such determination and resulting 
                waiver.
          (2) Certification of peacekeeping operations 
        reforms.--The certification referred to in paragraph 
        (1) is a certification made by the Secretary to the 
        appropriate congressional committees that the following 
        reforms, or an equivalent set of reforms, related to 
        peacekeeping operations have been adopted by the United 
        Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations or the 
        General Assembly, as appropriate:
                  (A) A single, uniform Code of Conduct that 
                has the status of a binding rule and applies 
                equally to all personnel serving in United 
                Nations peacekeeping operations, regardless of 
                category or rank, has been adopted by the 
                General Assembly and mechanisms have been 
                established for training such personnel 
                concerning the requirements of the Code and 
                enforcement of the Code.
                  (B) All personnel, regardless of category or 
                rank, serving in a peacekeeping operation have 
                been trained concerning the requirements of the 
                Code of Conduct and each has been given a 
                personal copy of the Code, translated into the 
                national language of such personnel.
                  (C) All personnel, regardless of category or 
                rank, are required to sign an oath that each 
                has received a copy of the Code of Conduct, 
                that each pledges to abide by the Code, and 
                that each understands the consequences of 
                violating the Code, including the immediate 
                termination of the participation of such 
                personnel in the peacekeeping operation to 
                which such personnel is assigned as a condition 
                of the appointment to such operation.
                  (D) All peacekeeping operations have designed 
                and implemented educational outreach programs 
                to reach local communities where peacekeeping 
                personnel of such operations are based to 
                explain prohibited acts on the part of United 
                Nations peacekeeping personnel and to identify 
                the individual to whom the local population may 
                direct complaints or file allegations of 
                exploitation, abuse, or other acts of 
                misconduct.
                  (E) A centralized data base has been created 
                and is being maintained in the United Nations 
                Department of Peacekeeping Operations that 
                tracks cases of misconduct, including the 
                outcomes of investigations and subsequent 
                prosecutions, to ensure that personnel, 
                regardless of category or rank, who have 
                engaged in misconduct or other criminal 
                activities are permanently barred from 
                participation in future peacekeeping 
                operations.

  In subtitle B of title XI, redesignate sections 1111 through 
1126 as sections 1121 through 1136, respectively.
  In subtitle A of title XI, add at the end the following new 
section:

SEC. 1111. ACQUISITION OF MARITIME REFUELING SUPPORT VESSEL FOR UNITED 
                    STATES DRUG INTERDICTION EFFORTS IN THE EASTERN 
                    PACIFIC MARITIME TRANSIT ZONE.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Department of Defense and Department of 
        Homeland Security report that narcotics smuggling 
        organizations continue to avoid United States drug 
        interdiction efforts by transiting deep into the 
        Eastern Pacific, well beyond the capabilities of United 
        States ships.
          (2) Drug trafficking organizations have already 
        adapted to these long transit routes by employing 
        logistical support vessels (LSVs) to refuel drug laden 
        boats on the high seas.
          (3) United States drug interdiction forces currently 
        do not have this at-sea refueling capability.
          (4) On June 29, 2005, the Subcommittee on Criminal 
        Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources of the 
        Committee on Government Reform of the House of 
        Representatives held a hearing entitled ``Interrupting 
        Narco-Terrorist Threats on the High Seas: Do We Have 
        Enough Wind in Our Sails?''.
          (5) During the hearing, the acting United States 
        Interdiction Coordinator (USIC), Ralph Utley, spoke of 
        the substantial benefits to be gained if a maritime 
        ``oiler'' ship were employed to support interdiction 
        activities in the Eastern Pacific maritime transit 
        zone.
          (6) The Subcommittee was very interested to see that 
        all witnesses representing the Department of Defense, 
        the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), the 
        United States Coast Guard, Customs and Border 
        Protection, and the Drug Enforcement Administration 
        testified that they believe the employment of a 
        maritime oiler vessel would be an immediate improvement 
        to United States interdiction operations in the transit 
        zone.
          (7) On any given day, United States and Allied forces 
        seize an average of 100 kilograms of cocaine per ship 
        when patrolling in the Eastern Pacific maritime transit 
        zone.
          (8) Each year, the United States Coast Guard 
        estimates it loses 100 ``ship-days'' due to lengthy 
        refueling trips to Central and South American 
        countries. The United States Navy also faces similar 
        refueling challenges.
  (b) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to 
be appropriated $25,000,000 for fiscal year 2006 and 
$25,000,000 for fiscal year 2007 for the Bureau for 
International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) of 
the Department of State to purchase or lease a maritime 
refueling support vessel that is capable of refueling United 
States and allied warships and vessels employed in support of 
United States drug interdiction duties in the Eastern Pacific 
maritime transit zone.

        with plans to terminate in the near future the arms 
        embargo they imposed in 1989 following the Tiananmen 
        Square massacre;
          (2) welcomes deferral of a decision by the European 
        Council to terminate its arms embargo following 
        adoption of those Resolutions, the President's visit to 
        Europe, and growing concern among countries in the 
        regions and the general public on both sides of the 
        Atlantic;
          (3) welcomes the decision by the European Parliament 
        on April 14, 2005, by a vote of 421 to 85, to oppose 
        the lifting of the European Union's arms embargo on the 
        People's Republic of China, and resolutions issued by a 
        number of elected parliamentary bodies in Europe also 
        opposing the lifting of the arms embargo;
          (4) also welcomes the onset of a strategic dialogue 
        between the European Commission and the Government of 
        the United States on the security situation in East 
        Asia, through which it is hoped a greater understanding 
        will emerge of the consequences of European assistance 
        to the military buildup of the People's Republic of 
        China for peace and stability in that region, to the 
        security interests of the United States and its friends 
        and allies in the region, and, in particular, to the 
        safety of United States Armed Forces whose presence in 
        the region has been a decisive factor in ensuring peace 
        and prosperity since the end of World War II;
          (5) hopes that a more intensive dialogue with Europe 
        on this matter will clarify for United States friends 
        and allies in Europe how their ``non-lethal'' arms 
        transfers improve the force projection of the People's 
        Republic of China, are far from benign, and enhance the 
        prospects for the threat or use of force in resolving 
        the status of Taiwan, a troubling prospect made more 
        ominous by recent adoption of a new law by the Chinese 
        National People's Congress expressly authorizing the 
        use of force;
          (6) also hopes that this dialogue will result in an 
        important new consensus between the United States and 
        its European partners on the need for coordinated 
        policies which encourage the development of democracy 
        in the People's Republic of China and which discourage, 
        not assist, China's unjustified military buildup and 
        pursuit of weapons that threaten its neighbors;
          (7) however, deeply regrets that none of the European 
        friends and allies of the United States who have been 
        transferring arms to the People's Republic of China has 
        announced a cessation or even a temporary halt to those 
        transfers while this new dialogue with the United 
        States ensues, and notes with concern that such 
        European friends and allies have provided little, if 
        any, transparency to the United States Government into 
        the full range andcapabilities of all of the armaments 
and related technology that they have transferred to date and continue 
even now to do so;
          (8) is further troubled by public reports describing 
        well known European companies as suppliers to weapons 
        programs of the People's Republic of China, who are 
        also participants in numerous sensitive United States 
        Government weapons programs, and the increased risks of 
        diversion of United States weapons technology to China 
        inherent in such an undesirable situation; and
          (9) in view of the gravity of European arms sales to 
        the People's Republic of China, which have not abated, 
        believes it is necessary to make provision for greater 
        scrutiny and oversight with respect to those areas of 
        international armament cooperation that present 
        increased levels of risk to the security interests of 
        the United States and to authorize appropriate measures 
        which the President may draw on in deterring foreign 
        support for China's military buildup in order to 
        safeguard the national security interests of the United 
        States and peace and security in East Asia.

        measures described in section 907 should be applied, 
        that the measures be applied comprehensively with 
        respect to the affected foreign person's affiliates and 
        subsidiaries, wherever located, in order to deter to 
        the fullest extent possible a recurrence or 
        continuation of the export giving rise to the 
        President's determination.
  (d) Form.--If the President considers it appropriate, the

SEC. 1110A. INTERNATIONAL TREATY BANNING SPACE-BASED WEAPONS AND THE 
                    USE OF WEAPONS AGAINST OBJECTS IN SPACE IN ORBIT.

24. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Lantos of California, 
               or His Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  Redesignate title XI as title XII and redesignate sections 
1101 through 1126 as sections 1201 through 1226, respectively.
  Insert after title X the following new title:

              TITLE XI--OPENING DOORS FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS


SEC. 1101. SHORT TITLE.

  This title may be cited as the ``Opening Doors for Foreign 
Students Act of 2005''.

SEC. 1102. FINDINGS.

  Congress finds the following:
          (1) Opening doors to well-intentioned foreign 
        students and exchange visitors has wide-ranging 
        benefits to the United States.
          (2) Upon their return to their countries of origin, 
        foreign students and exchange visitors disseminate the 
        core values of the United States as they relate their 
        positive experiences with the democratic form of 
        governance, the dynamic multicultural society, and the 
        entrepreneurial spirit of the United States.
          (3) The United States earns approximately 
        $13,000,000,000 a year in tuition and living expenses 
        paid by foreign students, making higher education the 
        United States' fifth largest service export.
          (4) Since the terrorist attacks on America on 
        September 11, 2001, the United States institutions of 
        higher education and nongovernmental exchange sponsors 
        have faced great challenges in retaining their 
        competitive position in the market for foreign 
        students.
                  (A) During the 2002-2003 academic year, the 
                first year after the 9/11 attacks, the growth 
                of overall international student enrollment in 
                the United States slowed to 0.6 percent after 
                having increased by 6.4 percent in the two 
                previous academic years. During the 2003-2004 
                academic year, according to the Institute of 
                International Education, the number of 
                international students studying in the United 
                States declined 2.4 percent to 572,509. This 
                was the first overall decline in international 
                students studying in the United States since 
                the 1971-72 school year.
                  (B) Community Colleges have been particularly 
                hard-hit by overall declines in enrollments of 
                foreign students. During the 2003-2004 academic 
                year, the number of foreign students enrolled a 
                public two-year schools fell by 10 percent, 
                according to the Institute of International 
                Education.
          (5) Some foreign students have expressed anxiety and 
        alarm about the new visa processes. A survey conducted 
        in 2004 at the University of California of 1,700 
        foreign students found that 60 percent reported that 
        they had to endure ``unreasonable delays'' to obtain 
        student visas.
          (6) Competitors in the marketplace for higher 
        education, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, 
        Germany and the United Kingdom, are aggressively 
        recruiting students to take advantage of changed 
        perceptions of the United States.
          (7) If the United States is to regain its competitive 
        advantage in attracting foreign students and exchange 
        visitors, it will be essential for the Department of 
        State to work to ensure that new visa procedures are 
        administered in the most efficient and user-friendly 
        possible manner. Furthermore the Department must 
        continue to engage in public outreach designed to 
        dispel negative perceptions about study in the United 
        States.

SEC. 1103. DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY TO ATTRACT FOREIGN 
                    STUDENTS TO STUDY IN THE UNITED STATES.

  (a) Development of Strategy.--Not later than one year after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, 
in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, the 
Secretary of Education, and the Secretary of Commerce, shall 
develop a comprehensive strategy to counter widespread 
perceptions among foreign students that the United States no 
longer welcomes them to study in the United States or to 
participate in exchange programs, and to increase applications 
by foreign students to come to the United States for study and 
exchange. Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees a written account of this 
strategy.
  (b) Consultations With Stakeholders.--Beginning not later 
than 180 days after date of the enactment of this Act, the 
Secretary of State shall undertake annual consultations with 
individuals and organizations involved in international 
education, including consultations with nongovernmental 
institutions concerned with the recruitment of foreign students 
to the United States; officials from United States educational 
institutions concerned with the recruitment of foreign 
students, foreign student representatives, nongovernmental 
organizations designated by the Department of State as sponsors 
in the Exchange Visitor Program, and other concerned parties 
for the purpose of discussing and seeking input on the 
development of the comprehensive strategy described in 
subsection (a).

SEC. 1104. IDENTIFICATION OF PRIORITY MISSIONS AND MISSIONS EMPLOYING 
                    BEST PRACTICES FOR ATTRACTING STUDENT VISA 
                    APPLICANTS.

  (a) Review of Student Visa Applications.--The Secretary of 
State shall review the application and issuance rates for F-1 
and J-1 nonimmigrant visas (issued under subparagraphs (F) and 
(J) of section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)) at every diplomatic or consular 
mission of the United States providing consular services. Such 
review shall encompass the five-year period immediately 
preceding the date of the enactment of this Act and shall be 
used to identify missions that have experienced significant 
declines in such visa applications, the issuance of such visas, 
or both, and shall also identify diplomatic or consular 
missions that have experienced recovery in the rate of such 
applications or such issuances after experiencing significant 
declines in such applications, such issuances, or both.
  (b) Obtaining Information on Best Practices for Gaining 
Increases.--Upon identifying diplomatic or consular missions 
that have experienced recoveries in the rates of such visa 
applications, issuances, or both, the Secretary shall direct 
the chiefs of mission of such missions to submit to the 
Secretary a report concerning consular, public diplomacy, 
public outreach, or other practices that may have contributed 
to such recoveries.
  (c) Corrective Measures.--Upon identifying diplomatic or 
consular missions in key foreign policy countries that have 
suffered significant declines in the rates of such 
applications, issuances, or both without experiencing recovery 
in either or both of such rates in accordance with the review 
required under subsection (a), the Secretary shall direct the 
chiefs of mission of such missions to develop a plan 
appropriate to each such mission to attract additional F-1 and 
J-1 visa applicants and to address any inefficiencies in 
processing visa applications specific to each such mission.
  (d) Report.--
          (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the 
        date of the enactment of this Act, and one year 
        thereafter, the Secretary shall submit to the 
        appropriate congressional committees a report 
        concerning trends in the application and issuance rates 
        for F-1 and J-1 visas at all diplomatic and consular 
        missions of the United States providing consular 
        services.
          (2) Report elements.--
                  (A) Statistical information.--The first 
                report submitted pursuant to this section shall 
                contain data from the five-year period 
                immediately preceding the date of the enactment 
                of this Act. The second report shall contain 
                updated data covering the calendar year 
                preceding the issuance of the report and 
                comparisons with previous data.
                  (B) Best practices.--Each report shall 
                contain a ``Best Practices'' section 
                identifying diplomatic or consular missions 
                that have experienced a recovery in the rates 
                of such applications, such issuances, or both 
                after experiencing declines in the rates for 
                such applications, such issuances, or both. For 
                each diplomatic or consular mission so 
                identified, the report shall include post 
                activities that may have contributed to such 
                recovery.
                  (C) Priority posts.--Each report shall also 
                contain a section entitled ``Priority Posts'' 
                that identifies critical diplomatic and 
                consular missions from key foreign policy 
                countries that have experienced declines in the 
                rates of such applications, such issuances, or 
                both without experiencing a significant 
                recovery in any of such rates. For each 
                diplomatic or consular mission so identified, 
                the report shall contain an action plan that 
                describes new initiatives, such as consular 
                services, public diplomacy, and public 
                outreach, that are designed to improve the 
                rates of such applications and such issuances.

SEC. 1105. ENHANCED TRAINING IN PROCESSING AND FACILITATING STUDENT 
                    VISAS.

  (a) Training Programs.--Chapter 7 of the Foreign Service Act 
of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3901 et seq.) (relating to career 
development, training, and orientation) is amended by adding at 
the end the following new section:

``SEC. 708. TRAINING IN PROCESSING AND FACILITATING VISA APPLICATIONS 
                    FOR STUDENTS AND EXCHANGE VISITORS FOR STUDY IN THE 
                    UNITED STATES.

  ``The Secretary shall establish a training program for 
members of the Service who have responsibilities related to the 
issuance of visas to prepare such members for the unique 
challenges that visa applicants face in completing the F-1 and 
J-1 nonimmigrant visa application process and to provide such 
members with proven tools, including in the area of consular 
services, public diplomacy, outreach to non-governmental 
institutions and educational institutions, and public outreach 
to combat perceptions that the United States is no longer a 
welcoming place for foreign citizens to study or to participate 
in exchange programs.''

SEC. 1106. ENHANCED DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS TO NEGOTIATE FAVORABLE 
                    RECIPROCAL AGREEMENTS WITH FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS 
                    CONCERNING STUDENT VISA TERM LIMITS.

  The Secretary of State should undertake a sustained 
diplomatic dialogue with key foreign governments, including the 
Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government 
of the Russian Federation, aimed at renegotiating the terms of 
existing reciprocal agreements to provide for extended validity 
of student and exchange visas in order to reduce the need for 
frequent renewals of F-1 and J-1 nonimmigrant visas by foreign 
students.
                              ----------

SEC. 1110A. STATEMENT OF POLICY REGARDING MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY OVER THE 
                    GREAT LAKES.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The water resources of the Great Lakes Basin are 
        precious public natural resources, shared and held in 
        trust by the Great Lakes States of Illinois, Indiana, 
        Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and 
        Wisconsin, and by the Canadian Provinces of Ontario and 
        Quebec.
          (2) Authority over the Great Lakes is vested in the 
        Governors of the Great Lakes States by the Water 
        Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-662).
          (3) Section 1109(b)(2) of the Water Resources 
        Development Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C. 1962d-20(b)(2)) 
        encourages the Great Lakes States, in consultation with 
        the Canadian Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, to 
        develop and implement a mechanism that provides a 
        common conservation standard embodying the principles 
        of water conservation and resource improvement for 
        making decisions concerning the withdrawal and use of 
        water from the Great Lakes Basin.
          (4) Section 1109(d) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 1962d-
        20(d)) requires the approval of the Governor of each of 
        the Great Lakes States prior to the diversion or export 
        of Great Lakes water.
          (5) The Great Lakes Charter of 1985 is a voluntary 
        international agreement that provides the procedural 
        framework for prior notice and consultation by the 
        Great Lakes States and the Canadian Provinces of 
        Ontario and Quebec concerning the withdrawal of water 
        from the Great Lakes Basin.
          (6) Whereas the Council of Great Lakes Governors and 
        Premiers has drafted amendments to the Great Lakes 
        Charter of 1985, known as ``Annex 2001''.
          (7) One of the primary purposes of Annex 2001 is to 
        strengthen the authority of Great Lakes Governors and 
        Premiers to make decisions concerning proposals to 
        divert or export Great Lakes water by establishing a 
        common conservation standard by which such decisions 
        will be made.
          (8) The final commitments proposed in Annex 2001 to 
        affirm in-basin authority by way of enacting a basin-
        States compact and a cross-border accord with the 
        Provinces of Ontario and Quebec will be presented to 
        Congress for final approval.
  (b) Statement of Policy.--Congress--
          (1) recognizes and affirms the efforts of the Great 
        Lakes Governors and Premiers in developing a common 
        standard for decisions relating to the withdrawal of 
        water from the Great Lakes that lead to improvement of 
        this binational resource; and
          (2) urges that the management authority over the 
        waters of the Great Lakes should remain vested with the 
        Governors and Premiers of the eight Great Lakes States 
        and two Great Lakes Provinces that share stewardship 
        over this vast and valuable natural resource.

SEC. 1127. UNITED STATES-CHINA RELATIONS.

  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the comments by Chinese General Zhu Chenghu 
        advocating the use of nuclear weapons against the 
        United States are both damaging to United States-China 
        relations and a violation of China's commitment to 
        resolve its differences with Taiwan peacefully; and
          (2) the Government of China should renounce the use 
        of force against Taiwan, disavow General Zhu's 
        statements, and relieve General Zhu from his command.

SEC. 956. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ASSISTANCE FOR CHALDOASSYRIANS 
                    AND OTHER INDIGENOUS CHRISTIANS IN IRAQ.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) ChaldoAssyrians and other indigenous Christians 
        in Iraq welcome the opportunity following Iraq's 
        liberation to move beyond the days of repression and 
        persecution and toward greater prosperity by 
        cooperating in the development of a democratic, 
        pluralistic state.
          (2) Religious and ethnic discrimination has driven 
        half of Iraq's indigenous Christians into diaspora 
        since the 1960s and now threatens to create a mass 
        exodus, thereby depriving Iraq of one of its oldest and 
        most distinctive ethnic communities.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) all relevant departments and agencies of the 
        Government of the United States should pay special 
        attention to the welfare of ChaldoAssyrians and other 
        indigenous Christians in Iraq in order to prevent a 
        mass exodus that would detrimentally affect the 
        preservation of diversity in the Middle East and the 
        promotion of general tolerance for others; and
          (2) the President, acting through the Administrator 
        of the United States Agency for International 
        Development, should allocate funds specifically for the 
        promotion of the welfare, education, and resettlement 
        of ChaldoAssyrians and other indigenous Christians in 
        Iraq where they may be currently prevented from 
        returning to their homes.

SEC. 947. TRAINING AND ASSISTANCE TO IDENTIFY UNKNOWN VICTIMS WHO WERE

Secretary of State to incorporate the investigative and 
preventative efforts of the Government of Mexico in the 
bilateral agenda between the Government of Mexico and the 
Government of the United States and to continue to express 
concern to the Government of Mexico over the abductions and

  (b) Training and Assistance.--The Secretary of State is 
authorized to provide training and assistance to identify 
unknown victims who were murdered in the Mexican city of Ciudad 
Juarez through forensic analysis, including DNA testing, 
conducted by independent, impartial experts who are sensitive 
to the special needs and concerns of the victims' families, as 
well as efforts to make these services available to any

section:

SEC. 1127. CAPTURE, DETENTION, AND INTERROGATION OF TERRORISTS AT 
                    GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Usama bin Laden declared war on the United States 
        in 1996.
          (2) International terrorists, including al Qaida and 
        its affiliated terrorists, have repeatedly attacked the 
        United States and its coalition partners throughout the 
        world and have killed and wounded thousands of innocent 
        United States citizens and citizens from these 
        coalition partners.
          (3) The United States is exercising its rights to 
        self-defense and to protect United States citizens both 
        at home and abroad by waging war alongside its 
        coalition partners against al Qaida and affiliated 
        terrorists.
          (4) International terrorists continue to pose an 
        extraordinary threat to the national security and 
        foreign policy of the United States and its coalition 
        partners.
          (5) International terrorists continue to commit and 
        plan terrorist attacks around the world against the 
        United States and its coalition partners;.
          (6) In order to protect the United States and its 
        citizens, the United States must identify terrorists 
        and those individuals who support them, disrupt their 
        activities, and eliminate their ability to conduct or 
        support attacks against the United States, its 
        citizens, and its coalition partners.
          (7) Identifying, disrupting, and eliminating 
        terrorist threats against the United States requires 
        effective gathering, dissemination, and analysis of 
        timely intelligence.
          (8) The collection of information from detainees at 
        Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by the United States has improved 
        the security of the United States and its coalition 
        partners and is essential in fighting the Global War on 
        Terrorism.
          (9) The loss of interrogation-derived information 
        would have a disastrous effect on the United States' 
        intelligence collection and counterterrorism efforts 
        and would constitute a damaging reversal in the Global 
        War on Terrorism.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the capture, detention, and interrogation of 
        international terrorists are essential to the 
        successful prosecution of the Global War on Terrorism 
        and to the defense of the United States, its citizens, 
        and its coalition partners from future terrorist 
        attacks;
          (2) the detention and lawful, humane interrogation by 
        the United States of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, 
        is essential to the defense of the United States and 
        its coalition partners and to the successful 
        prosecution of the Global War on Terrorism;
          (3) the detention facilities and interrogations at 
        Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, plays an essential role in the 
        security of the United States and should not be closed 
        or ended while the United States is waging the Global 
        War of Terrorism.

   38. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Ros-Lehtinen of 
           Florida, or Her Designee, Debatable for 60 Minutes

  In subtitle B of title XI, redesignate sections 1111 through 
1126 as sections 1121 through 1136, respectively.
  In subtitle A of title XI, add at the end the following new 
section:

SEC. 1111. UNITED STATES COMMITMENT TO IRAQ.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The men and women of the United States Armed 
        Forces fighting in Iraq are serving with bravery, 
        distinction, and high morale.
          (2) The men and women of the United States Armed 
        Forces fighting in Iraq need and deserve the full 
        support of the American people.
          (3) The men and women of the United States Armed 
        Forces fighting in Iraq are part of a large, 
        multinational coalition, and are serving side-by-side 
        with Iraqi national forces who have been trained by 
        that coalition.
          (4) Coalition and Iraqi forces, Iraqi civilians, 
        foreign diplomats, and individuals from around the 
        world who have come to the aid of the Iraqi people are 
        under attack from terrorists who deliberately attack 
        children, worshippers, and law enforcement figures, 
        attack civilians at random, sabotage essential 
        services, and otherwise attempt to terrorize the Iraqi 
        people, the American people, and the citizens of other 
        coalition countries.
          (5) The terrorists will be emboldened to ``wait out'' 
        the United States if a target date for withdrawal is 
        established and announced, especially if the terrorists 
        perceive such withdrawal date has been established and 
        announced as a result of their terrorist campaign 
        against the coalition and the Iraqi people.
  (b) Sense of Congress.-- It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) given the nature of the adversary the United 
        States and its coalition partners face in Iraq and the 
        difficult conditions under which the United States 
        Armed Forces, coalition forces, and Iraqi forces find 
        themselves, calls for an early withdrawal of United 
        States and coalition forces are counterproductive to 
        security aims of the United States and the hopes of the 
        Iraqi people; and
          (2) such calls for an early withdrawal embolden the 
        terrorists and undermine the morale of the United 
        States Armed Forces, coalition forces, and Iraqi 
        forces, and put their security at risk.
  (c) Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States--
          (1) to pursue a transfer of responsibility for Iraqi 
        security to Iraqi forces; and
          (2) not to withdraw prematurely the United States 
        Armed Forces from Iraq, but to do so only when it is 
        clear that United States national security and foreign 
        policy goals relating to a free and stable Iraq have 
        been or are about to be achieved.
