        national effort to raise awareness of the 16 million 
        women working during World War II.
          (2) Americans have chosen to honor female workers who 
        contributed on the home front during World War II.
          (3) These women left their homes to work or volunteer 
        full-time in factories, farms, shipyards, airplane 
        factories, banks, and other institutions in support of 
        the military overseas.
          (4) These women worked with the USO and Red Cross, 
        drove trucks, riveted airplane parts, collected 
        critical materials, rolled bandages, and served on 
        rationing boards.
          (5) It is fitting and proper to recognize and 
        preserve the history and legacy of working women, 
        including volunteer women, during World War II to 
        promote cooperation and fellowship among such women and 
        their descendants.
          (6) These women and their descendants wish to further 
        the advancement of patriotic ideas, excellence in the 
        workplace, and loyalty to the United States of America.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress acknowledges the important 
role played by women in World War II.

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

  At the end of subtitle B of title XII, add the following:

SEC. 12XX. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO DR. SHAKIL AFRIDI.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The attacks of September 11, 2001, killed 
        approximately 3,000 people, most of whom were 
        Americans, but also included hundreds of individuals 
        with foreign citizenships, nearly 350 New York Fire 
        Department personnel, and about 50 law enforcement 
        officers.
          (2) Downed United Airlines flight 93 was reportedly 
        intended, under the control of the al-Qaeda high-
        jackers, to crash into the White House or the Capitol 
        in an attempt to kill the President of the United 
        States or Members of the United States Congress.
          (3) The September 11, 2001, attacks were largely 
        planned and carried out by the al-Qaeda terrorist 
        network led by Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al 
        Zawahiri, after which Osama bin Laden enjoyed safe 
        haven in Pakistan from where he continued to plot 
        deadly attacks against the United States and the world.
          (4) The United States has obligated nearly $30 
        billion between 2002 and 2014 in United States taxpayer 
        money for security and economic aid to Pakistan.
          (5) The United States very generously and swiftly 
        responded to the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake in Pakistan 
        with more than $200 million in emergency aid and the 
        support of several United States military aircraft, 
        approximately 1,000 United States military personnel, 
        including medical specialists, thousands of tents, 
        blankets, water containers and a variety of other 
        emergency equipment.
          (6) The United States again generously and swiftly 
        contributed approximately $150 million in emergency aid 
        to Pakistan following the 2010 Pakistan flood, in 
        addition to the service of nearly twenty United States 
        military helicopters, their flight crews, and other 
        resources to assist the Pakistan Army's relief efforts.
          (7) The United States continues to work tirelessly to 
        support Pakistan's economic development, including 
        millions of dollars allocated towards the development 
        of Pakistan's energy infrastructure, health services 
        and education system.
          (8) The United States and Pakistan continue to have 
        many critical shared interests, both economic and 
        security related, which could be the foundation for a 
        positive and mutually beneficial partnership.
          (9) Dr. Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani physician, is a 
        hero to whom the people of the United States, Pakistan 
        and the world owe a debt of gratitude for his help in 
        finally locating Osama bin Laden before more innocent 
        American, Pakistani and other lives were lost to this 
        terrorist leader.
          (10) Pakistan, the United States and the 
        international community had failed for nearly 10 years 
        following attacks of September 11, 2001, to locate and 
        bring Osama bin Laden, who continued to kill innocent 
        civilians in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa and 
        the United States, to justice without the help of Dr. 
        Afridi.
          (11) The Government of Pakistan's imprisonment of Dr. 
        Afridi presents a serious and growing impediment to the 
        United States' bilateral relations with Pakistan.
          (12) The Government of Pakistan has leveled and 
        allowed baseless charges against Dr. Afridi in a 
        politically motivated, spurious legal process.
          (13) Dr. Afridi is currently imprisoned by the 
        Government of Pakistan, a deplorable and unconscionable 
        situation which calls into question Pakistan's actual 
        commitment to countering terrorism and undermines the 
        notion that Pakistan is a true ally in the struggle 
        against terrorism.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that Dr. 
Shakil Afridi is an international hero and that the Government 
of Pakistan should release him immediately from prison.

SEC. 12XX. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON BUSINESS PRACTICES OF THE ISLAMIC STATE 
                    OF IRAQ AND SYRIA (ISIS).

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) For nearly two years, the Islamic State of Iraq 
        and Syria (ISIS) has capitalized on established oil 
        production facilities throughout Iraq and Syria in 
        order to fund its jihadist operations globally.
          (2) Oil production and sale represent the largest and 
        most vulnerable income factors for ISIS.
          (3) In 2015, ISIS oil sales brought in over 
        $400,000,000 to prop up the terror group's operations 
        world-wide.
          (4) ISIS has executed a robust recruitment scheme to 
        staff and operate the oil facilities within the group's 
        control and maintained smuggling routes for the sale of 
        that oil.
          (5) Further disrupting ISIS oil production and sale 
        structures would be minimally invasive but would 
        effectively curtail the terror group's ability to self-
        finance.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
United States should focus all necessary efforts in the Middle 
East to disrupt the financing of the Islamic State of Iraq and 
Syria (ISIS) through oil production and sale.

capacity, domain awareness, and integration of their 
capabilities.
  (b) Redesignation as Southeast Asia Maritime Security

SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CYBER RESILIENCY OF THE NETWORKS AND 
                    COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Army and Air National Guard personnel need to 
        have situational awareness and reliable communications 
        during any of the following events occurring in the 
        United States:
                  (A) A terrorist attack.
                  (B) An intentional or unintentional release 
                of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, 
                or high-yield explosive materials.
                  (C) A natural or man-made disaster.
          (2) During such an event, it is vital that Army and 
        Air National Guard personnel are able to communicate 
        and coordinate response efforts with their own units 
        and appropriate civilian emergency response forces.
          (3) Current networks and communications systems of 
        the National Guard, including commercial wireless 
        solutions (such as mobile wireless kinetic mesh), and 
        other systems that are interoperable with the systems 
        of civilian first responders, should provide the 
        necessary robustness, interoperability, reliability, 
        and resilience to extend needed situational awareness 
        and communications to all users and under all operating 
        conditions, including degraded communications 
        environments where infrastructure is damaged or 
        destroyed or under cyber attack or disruption.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
National Guard should be constantly seeking ways to improve and 
expand its communications and networking capabilities to 
provide for enhanced performance and resilience in the face of 
cyber attacks or disruptions, as well as other instances of 
degradation.
