At the end of title II, add the following:
Sec. 2313. (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of
Congress that removing potential nuclear weapons materials

States, and therefore should be a top priority for achieving
the national security of the United States.

capabilities of other departments and agencies to fulfill its
mission.

assignment of personnel from other departments and agencies
of the Federal Government to the Task Force.

its mission under this section, the Secretary of Energy may--

or to uses that no longer require nuclear materials;
(F) assisting in the closure and decommissioning of such
sites; and
(G) providing incentives to facilitate the removal of such
materials from vulnerable facilities;
(2) arrange for the shipment of potential nuclear weapons
materials to the United States, or to other countries willing
to accept them and able to provide high levels of security
for them, in order to ensure that United States national
security objectives are accomplished as quickly and
effectively as possible; and
(3) provide funds to upgrade security and accounting at
sites where, as determined by the Secretary, potential
nuclear weapons materials will remain for an extended period
in order to ensure that such materials are secure against
plausible potential threats, and will remain so in the
future.

to Congress of the budget of the President for fiscal year
2005 pursuant to section 1105(a) of title 31, United States

of the highest priorities for removal of potential nuclear
weapons materials, based on the quantity and attractiveness
of such materials at such sites and the risks of the theft or
diversion of such materials for weapons purposes;
(B) a strategic plan, including measurable milestones and
metrics, for accomplishing the mission of the Task Force
under this section;
(C) an estimate of the annual financial requirements for
implementing the plan;

actions are needed to facilitate the accomplishment of the
mission of the Task Force; and
(E) such other information on the status of activities
under this section as the Secretary considers appropriate.
(2) The report shall be submitted in unclassified form, but
may include a classified annex.
(f) Funding.--There is hereby appropriated, out of any
money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2004, for the National

materials and their use for an explosive nuclear chain
reaction.

Reserves on Law Enforcement and Homeland Security.--(1) Not
later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, in

submit to Congress a report on the effects of the deployment
of the National Guard and Reserves on law enforcement and
