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

At the appropriate place, insert the following:

TITLE __--TERRORIST TRAVEL AND EFFECTIVE SCREENING

SEC. __01. COUNTERTERRORIST TRAVEL INTELLIGENCE.

(a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States,
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Travel documents are as important to terrorists as
weapons since terrorists must travel clandestinely to meet,
train, plan, case targets, and gain access to attack sites.
(2) International travel is dangerous for terrorists
because they must surface to pass through regulated channels,
present themselves to border security officials, or attempt
to circumvent inspection points.
(3) Terrorists use evasive, but detectable, methods to
travel, such as altered and counterfeit passports and visas,
specific travel methods and routes, liaisons with corrupt
government officials, human smuggling networks, supportive
travel agencies, and immigration and identity fraud.
(4) Before September 11, 2001, no Federal agency
systematically analyzed terrorist travel strategies. If an
agency had done so, the agency could have discovered the ways
in which the terrorist predecessors to al Qaeda had been
systematically, but detectably, exploiting weaknesses in our
border security since the early 1990s.
(5) Many of the hijackers were potentially vulnerable to
interception by border authorities. Analyzing their
characteristic travel documents and travel patterns could
have allowed authorities to intercept some of the hijackers
and a more effective use of information available in
Government databases could have identified some of the
hijackers.
(6) The routine operations of our immigration laws and the
aspects of those laws not specifically aimed at protecting
against terrorism inevitably shaped al Qaeda's planning and
opportunities.
(7) New insights into terrorist travel gained since
September 11, 2001, have not been adequately integrated into
the front lines of border security.
(8) The small classified terrorist travel intelligence
collection and analysis program currently in place has
produced useful results and should be expanded.
(b) Strategy.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security
shall submit to Congress unclassified and classified versions
of a strategy for combining terrorist travel intelligence,
operations, and law enforcement into a cohesive effort to
intercept terrorists, find terrorist travel facilitators, and
constrain terrorist mobility domestically and
internationally. The report to Congress should include a
description of the actions taken to implement the strategy.
(2) Accountability.--The strategy submitted under paragraph
(1) shall--
(A) describe a program for collecting, analyzing,
disseminating, and utilizing information and intelligence
regarding terrorist travel tactics and methods; and
(B) outline which Federal intelligence, diplomatic, and law
enforcement agencies will be held accountable for
implementing each element of the strategy.
(3) Coordination.--The strategy shall be developed in
coordination with all relevant Federal agencies, including--
(A) the National Counterterrorism Center;

(C) the new procedures required and actions to be taken to
integrate existing counterterrorist travel and mobility
intelligence into border security processes, including
consular, port of entry, border patrol, maritime, immigration
benefits, and related law enforcement activities;
(D) the actions required to integrate current terrorist
mobility intelligence into military force protection
measures;
(E) the additional assistance to be given to the
interagency Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center for
purposes of combatting terrorist travel, including further
developing and expanding enforcement and operational
capabilities that address terrorist travel;
(F) the additional resources to be given to the Department
of Homeland Security to aid in the sharing of information
between the frontline border agencies of the Department of
Homeland Security, the Department of State, and classified
and unclassified sources of counterterrorist travel
intelligence and information elsewhere in the Federal
Government, including the Human Smuggling and Trafficking
Center;
(G) the development and implementation of procedures to
enable the Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center to timely
receive terrorist travel intelligence and documentation
obtained at consulates and ports of entry, and by law
enforcement officers and military personnel;
(H) the use of foreign and technical assistance to advance
border security measures and law enforcement operations
against terrorist travel facilitators;
(I) the development of a program to provide each consular,
port of entry, and immigration benefits office with a
counterterrorist travel expert trained and authorized to use
the relevant authentication technologies and cleared to
access all appropriate immigration, law enforcement, and
intelligence databases;

SEC. __04. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS.

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

for travel into the United States; and
(2) the President may not exercise discretion under section
215(b) of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1185(b)) to waive documentary
requirements for United States citizens departing from or

Secretary of Homeland Security, determines that the
alternative documentation that is the basis for the waiver of

cases; or
(C) in the case of humanitarian or national interest
reasons in individual cases.

passage areas to prevent aliens proceeding in immediate and
continuous transit through the United States from illegally
entering the United States.

SEC. __05. EXCHANGE OF TERRORIST INFORMATION AND INCREASED
PREINSPECTION AT FOREIGN AIRPORTS.

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

(1) In general.--Section 235A(a)(4) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1225a(a)(4)) is amended to read as
follows:
``(4) Subject to paragraph (5), not later than January 1,
2008, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation
with the Secretary of State, shall establish preinspection
stations in at least 25 additional foreign airports, which
the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, determines, based on the data compiled
under paragraph (3) and such other information as may be
available, would most effectively facilitate the travel of
admissible aliens and reduce the number of inadmissible
aliens, especially aliens who are potential terrorists, who
arrive from abroad by air at points of entry within the
United States. Such preinspection stations shall be in
addition to those established prior to September 30, 1996, or
pursuant to paragraph (1).''.
(2) Report.--Not later than June 30, 2006, the Secretary of
Homeland Security and the Secretary of State shall submit a
report on the progress being made in implementing the
amendment made by paragraph (1) to--

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

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

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

At the appropriate place, insert the following:

SEC. __. BIOMETRIC STANDARDS FOR PASSPORTS.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The 9/11 Commission Report made clear that the
incapacity to establish the authenticity of United States
passports through a biometric identifier is a major gap in
homeland security when it stated, ``Americans should not be
exempt from carrying biometric passports or otherwise
enabling their identities to be securely verified when they
enter the United States; nor should Canadians or Mexicans''.
(2) The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act
of 2002 requires Visa Waiver Program countries to conform to
a biometric standard negotiated through the International
Civil Aviation Organization, rather than requiring a specific
type of biometric identifier. The standard agreed upon by the
international community is facial recognition, consisting of
a picture with a computer chip embedded in the passport to
verify the picture.
(3) Facial recognition biometric technology remains
inferior to fingerprint biometric technology for the purpose
of one-to-many matches and is not consistent with the
biometric information that the United States collects from
visa applicants through its visa issuance process.
Consequently, individuals from Visa Waiver Program countries
who do not go through visa applications and interviews at the
point of origin are admitted into the United States with only
a facial biometric identifier contained in their passport.
(4) In order to be eligible for the Visa Waiver Program,
Visa Waiver Program countries should issue visas and
passports that conform with the same biometric standard as
travel documents issued by the United States.
(5) Because the United Sates must set an example in the
establishment of an international travel document biometric
identification standard, and must ensure that United States
issued passports are not used by non-United States citizens
to fraudulently gain entrance into the United States, the
United States should not only comply with the standards set
by the International Civil Aviation Organization, but should
include fingerprints as a second additional biometric
identifier on the passports it issues to its citizens.
(b) Fingerprints on United States Passports.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary of State shall ensure that
each passport issued by the United States after the effective
date of this subsection--
(A) contains the index fingerprints of the person to whom
such passport was issued; and

[[Page S10121]]

(B) complies with the additional biometric standard
established by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
(2) Authorization of appropriations.--
(A) In general.--There are authorized to be appropriated a
total of $1,000,000,000 for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 to
carry out the provisions of paragraph (1).
(B) Availability.--Any amounts appropriated pursuant to
subparagraph (A) shall remain available until expended.
(3) Effective date.--This subsection shall take effect on
the date which is 1 year after the date of enactment of this
Act.
(c) Biometric Standard for Passports Issued by Visa Waiver
Program Countries.--
(1) In general.--Section 217 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1187) is amended--
(A) in subsection (a)(3)(A), by striking ``satisfies the
internationally accepted standard for machine readability.''
and inserting the following:
``(i) satisfies the internationally accepted standard for
machine readability; and
``(ii) contains fingerprint biometric identifiers of the
alien.''; and
(B) in subsection (c)(2)(B)(i), by striking ``satisfy the
internationally accepted standard for machine readability.''
and inserting the following:
``(i) satisfy the internationally accepted standard for
machine readability; and
``(ii) contain fingerprint biometric identifiers of such
citizens.''.
(2) Effective date.--The amendments made by paragraph (1)
shall take effect on the date which is 1 year after the date
on which the Secretary of State begins to issue passports in
accordance with subsection (b)(1).

right of a crime victim under this chapter or under the

Government may assert as error the district court's denial of
any crime victim's right in the proceeding to which the
appeal relates.

right under this chapter provide grounds for a new trial.
``(6) No cause of action.--Nothing in this chapter shall be
construed to authorize a cause of action for damages.

victim' means a person directly and proximately harmed as a

(1) Open communication of information and ideas among
peoples of the world contributes to international peace and
stability, and that the promotion of such communication is
important to the national security of the United States.
(2) The United States needs to improve its communication of
information and ideas to people in foreign countries,

broadcasting would provide a cost-effective means of
improving communication with countries with significant
Muslim populations by providing news, information, and
analysis, as well as cultural programming, through both radio
and television broadcasts.
(4) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist
Attacks Upon the United States stated that, ``Recognizing
that Arab and Muslim audiences rely on satellite television
and radio, the government has begun some promising
initiatives in television and radio broadcasting to the Arab
world, Iran, and Afghanistan. These efforts are beginning to
reach large audiences. The Broadcasting Board of Governors
has asked for much larger resources. It should get them.''.

RELATIONSHIP.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Despite improvements in counterterrorism cooperation
between the Governments of the United States and Saudi Arabia
following the terrorist attacks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on
May 12, 2003, the relationship between the United States and
Saudi Arabia continues to be problematic in regard to
combating Islamic extremism.
(2) The Government of Saudi Arabia has not always responded
promptly and fully to

[[Page S10127]]

United States requests for assistance in the global war on
Islamist terrorism. Examples of this lack of cooperation have
included an unwillingness to provide the United States
Government with access to individuals wanted for questioning
in relation to terrorist acts and to assist in investigations
of terrorist activities.
(3) The state religion of Saudi Arabia, a militant and
exclusionary form of Islam known as Wahhabism, preaches
violence against nonbelievers or infidels and serves as the
religious basis for Osama Bin Laden and al Qaeda. Through
support for madrassas, mosques, cultural centers, and other
entities Saudi Arabia has actively supported the spread of
this religious sect.
(4) The Secretary of State designated Saudi Arabia a
country of particular concern under section 402(b)(1)(A) of
the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C.
6442(b)(1)(A)) because the Government of Saudi Arabia has
engaged in or tolerated systematic, ongoing, and egregious
violations of religious freedom.
(5) The Department of State's International Religious
Freedom Report for 2004 concluded that religious freedom does
not exist in Saudi Arabia.
(6) The Ambassador-at-large for International Religious
Freedom expressed concern about Saudi Arabia's export of
religious extremism and intolerance to other countries where
religious freedom for Muslims is respected.
(7) Historically, the Government of Saudi Arabia has
allowed financiers of terrorism to operate within its
borders.
(8) The Government of Saudi Arabia stated in February 2004
that it would establish a national commission to combat
terrorist financing within Saudi Arabia, however, it has not
fulfilled that promise.
(9) There have been no reports of the Government of Saudi
Arabia pursuing the arrest, trial, or punishment of
individuals who have provided financial support for terrorist
activities. The laws of Saudi Arabia to combat terrorist
financing have not been fully implemented.
(b) Commission on the United States-Saudi Arabia
Relationship.--
(1) Establishment.--There is established, within the
legislative branch, the National Commission on the United
States-Saudi Arabia Relationship (in this section referred to
as the ``Commission'').

of Saudi Arabia toward the Government of the United States in

domestic measures to curtail terrorist financing.

purposes described in paragraph (2).

enactment of this Act, the Commission shall submit to the
President and Congress a report on the relationship between
the United States and Saudi Arabia. The report shall include
the recommendations of the Commission to--
(1) increase the transparency of diplomatic relations
between the Government of the United States and the
Government of Saudi Arabia;
(2) improve cooperation between Government of the United
States and the Government of Saudi Arabia in efforts to share
intelligence information related to the war on terror;
(3) curtail the support and dissemination of Wahabbism by
the Government of Saudi Arabia;
(4) enhance the efforts of the Government of Saudi Arabia
to combat terrorist financing;
(5) create a foreign policy strategy for the United States
to improve cooperation with the Government of Saudi Arabia in
the war on terror, including any recommendations regarding
the use of sanctions or other diplomatic measures;
(6) curtail the support or toleration of violations of
religious freedom by the Government of Saudi Arabia; and
(7) encourage the Government of Saudi Arabia to improve the
human rights conditions in Saudi Arabia that have been

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

At the appropriate place, insert the following:
TITLE __--THE ROLE OF DIPLOMACY, FOREIGN AID, AND THE MILITARY IN THE
WAR ON TERRORISM

SEC. __01. FINDINGS.

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

SEC. __02. TERRORIST SANCTUARIES.

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

SEC. __03. ROLE OF PAKISTAN IN COUNTERING TERRORISM.

(a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States,
Congress makes the following findings:

[[Page S10141]]

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

SEC. __04. AID TO AFGHANISTAN.

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

(D) promoting equitable economic development;
(E) protecting the human rights of the people of
Afghanistan;
(F) holding elections for public office; and
(G) ending the cultivation and trafficking of narcotics.
(3) The United States and the international community must
make a long-term commitment to addressing the deteriorating
security situation in Afghanistan and the burgeoning
narcotics trade, endemic poverty, and other serious problems
in Afghanistan in order to prevent that country from
relapsing into a sanctuary for international terrorism.
(b) Sense of Congress.--
(1) Actions for afghanistan.--It is the sense of Congress
that the Government of the United States should take, with
respect to Afghanistan, the following actions:
(A) Working with other nations to obtain long-term
security, political, and financial commitments and
fulfillment of pledges to the Government of Afghanistan to
accomplish the objectives of the Afghanistan Freedom Support
Act of 2002 (22 U.S.C. 7501 et seq.), especially to ensure a
secure, democratic, and prosperous Afghanistan that respects
the rights of its citizens and is free of international
terrorist organizations.
(B) Using the voice and vote of the United States in
relevant international organizations, including the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United Nations Security
Council, to strengthen international commitments to assist
the Government of Afghanistan in enhancing security, building
national police and military forces, increasing counter-
narcotics efforts, and expanding infrastructure and public
services throughout the country.
(C) Taking appropriate steps to increase the assistance
provided under programs of the Department of State and the
United States Agency for International Development throughout
Afghanistan and to increase the number of personnel of those
agencies in Afghanistan as necessary to support the increased
assistance.

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

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

SEC. __06. EFFORTS TO COMBAT ISLAMIST TERRORISM.

(a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States,
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) While support for the United States has plummeted in
the Islamic world, many negative views are uninformed, at
best, and, at worst, are informed by coarse stereotypes and
caricatures.
(2) Local newspapers in Islamic countries and influential
broadcasters who reach Islamic audiences through satellite
television often reinforce the idea that the people and
Government of the United States are anti-Muslim.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Government of the United States should offer an
example of moral leadership in the world that includes a
commitment to

[[Page S10142]]

treat all people humanely, abide by the rule of law, and be
generous to the people and governments of other countries;
(2) the United States should cooperate with governments of
Islamic countries to foster agreement on respect for human
dignity and opportunity, and to offer a vision of a better
future that includes stressing life over death, individual
educational and economic opportunity, widespread political
participation, contempt for indiscriminate violence, respect
for the rule of law, openness in discussing differences, and
tolerance for opposing points of view;
(3) the United States should encourage reform, freedom,
democracy, and opportunity for Arabs and Muslims and promote
moderation in the Islamic world; and
(4) the United States should work to defeat extremist
ideology in the Islamic world by providing assistance to
moderate Arabs and Muslims to combat extremist ideas.

SEC. __07. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD DICTATORSHIPS.

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

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

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

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

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

this section, unless otherwise authorized by Congress.

SEC. __10. INTERNATIONAL YOUTH OPPORTUNITY FUND.

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

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

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

[[Page S10143]]

SEC. __12. MIDDLE EAST PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE.

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

SEC. __13. COMPREHENSIVE COALITION STRATEGY FOR FIGHTING
TERRORISM.

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

SEC. __14. TREATMENT OF FOREIGN PRISONERS.

(a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States,
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Carrying out the global war on terrorism requires the
development of policies with respect to the detention and
treatment of captured international terrorists that are
adhered to by all coalition forces.
(2) Article 3 of the Convention Relative to the Treatment
of Prisoners of War, done at Geneva August 12, 1949 (6 UST
3316) was specifically designed for cases in which the usual
rules of war do not apply, and the minimum standards of
treatment pursuant to such Article are generally accepted
throughout the world as customary international law.
(b) Policy.--The policy of the United States is as follows:
(1) It is the policy of the United States to treat all
foreign persons captured, detained, interned or otherwise
held in the custody of the United States (hereinafter
``prisoners'') humanely and in accordance with standards that
the United States would consider legal if perpetrated by the
enemy against an American prisoner.
(2) It is the policy of the United States that all
officials of the United States are bound both in wartime and
in peacetime by the legal prohibition against torture, cruel,
inhuman or degrading treatment.
(3) If there is any doubt as to whether prisoners are
entitled to the protections afforded by the Geneva
Conventions, such prisoners shall enjoy the protections of
the Geneva Conventions until such time as their status can be
determined pursuant to the procedures authorized by Army

(4) It is the policy of the United States to expeditiously
prosecute cases of terrorism or other criminal acts alleged
to have been committed by prisoners in the custody of the
United States Armed Forces at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in order
to avoid the indefinite detention of prisoners, which is
contrary to the legal principles and security interests of
the United States.
(c) Reporting.--The Department of Defense shall submit to
the appropriate congressional committees:
(1) A quarterly report providing the number of prisoners
who were denied Prisoner of War (POW) status under the Geneva

prisoner.
(2) A report setting forth--
(A) the proposed schedule for military commissions to be
held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; and

Bay, Cuba, the number of such individuals who are unlikely to
face a military commission in the next six months, and each
reason for not bringing such individuals before a military
commission.
(3) All International Committee of the Red Cross reports,
completed prior to the enactment of this Act, concerning the

Government and by any person providing services to the United
States Government on a contract basis.
(2) Report to congress.--The Secretary and the Director

SEC. __15. PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

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

SEC. __16. FINANCING OF TERRORISM.

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

evaluate and make recommendations on--
(A) the effectiveness of efforts and methods to the
identification and tracking of terrorist financing;
(B) ways to improve multinational and international
governmental cooperation in this effort;
(C) ways to improve the effectiveness of financial
institutions in this effort;
(D) the adequacy of agency coordination, nationally and

compacts, in this effort and ways to improve that
coordination; and
(E) recommendations for changes in law and additional
resources required to improve this effort.

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

At the appropriate place, insert the following:

SEC. __. WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION.

(a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the
``Congressional Right to Know Act''.
(b) Findings.--Congress adopts herein specified findings of
the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United
States (``9-11 Commission'') contained in the ``9-11
Commission Report'' issued on July 22, 2004, and makes
further findings as follows:
(1) Prior to September 11, 2001, there were warnings of
whistleblowers at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and
other national security professionals about security
breakdowns in air security, border control and emergency
planning.
(2) Whistleblowers throughout the Executive branch who
lawfully exercised the freedom to warn were subjected to
retaliation without effective legal defense.
(3) Safe communications channels that effectively protect
the freedom to warn serve Congress' right to know and are the
lifeline for the Commission's ``most difficult and
important'' goal of ``strengthening congressional oversight
to improve quality and accountability''.
(4) Effectively protecting whistleblowers' freedom to warn
is the necessary foundation to implement and enforce 9-11
Commission reforms over entrenched institutional resistance,
so that the pattern of announced reforms not effecting the
necessary institutional and cultural changes does not happen
again.
(5) Whistleblowers lawfully exercising the freedom to warn
personify the 9-11 Commission's conclusion that the ``choice
between security and liberty is a false choice'' because they
use freedom to strengthen America's security.
(6) Whistleblowers exercising the freedom to warn are
indispensable for ``an enhanced system of checks and balances
to protect the precious liberties that are vital to our way
of life'' by acting as sentinels who defend the principle
that ``if our liberties are curtailed, we lose the values
that we are struggling to defend''.
(7) Effective whistleblower protection is a cornerstone
principle necessary for the Commission's institutional goal
that ``[g]ood people'' should not have to ``overcome bad
structures''.
(8) Effectively protecting the individual employee's
freedom to warn is a prerequisite to strengthen national
security by replacing the ``need to know'' culture of
excessive agency compartmentalization with a ``need to
share'' culture promoting a ``duty to the information'' and
the American taxpayers.
(9) Creating a safe channel to effectively exercise the
freedom to warn implements the 9-11 Commission's goal for
policies ``that simultaneously empower and constrain
officials, telling them clearly what is and what is not
permitted''.
(10) Creating a safe channel to effectively exercise the
freedom to warn of breaches in professional security
standards serves the 9-11 Commission's premise that
professional expertise should have priority over
institutional concerns.
(c) Jurisdiction.--This section shall apply to any Federal
employee, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the
Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency,
the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, the National
Security Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the
Transportation Security Administration, or any other employee
of the United States, as defined by section 2105 of title 5,
United States Code, and to any employee or agent of an entity
subject to liability under sections 3729 et. seq. of title 5,
United States Code, the False Claims Act.

subsection (c) may be discharged, demoted, suspended,
threatened, harassed, investigated other than any ministerial
or nondiscretionary fact finding activities necessary for the
agency to perform its mission, or in any other manner
discriminated against, including denial, suspension,
revocation, or other determination relating to a security
clearance or any other access determination because the
person--
(1) is about to or provides information, causes information
to be provided, or otherwise communicates with any Member of
Congress or any committee of Congress as provided by section
7211 of title 5, United States Code, the Lloyd LaFollette Act

Protection Act;
(2)(A) is about to, or communicates or provides information
whose disclosure is not specifically prohibited by law and if
such information is not specifically required by Executive
order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense
or the conduct of foreign affairs, cause such information to
be communicated or provided, or otherwise assists in any
lawful investigation of other action to carry out the
government's responsibilities regarding any conduct which the
person reasonably believes is evidence of any violation of
any law, rule or regulation, gross waste, gross
mismanagement, abuse of authority, or a substantial and
specific danger to public health or safety when the
information or assistance is provided to or the investigation
is conducted by--
(i) the President or the President's authorized
representative;

[[Page S10150]]

(ii) a Federal regulatory or law enforcement agency;
(iii) any Member of Congress or any committee of Congress;
or
(iv) a witness, coworker, or person with supervisory
authority over the person (or such other person who has the
authority to investigate, discover, or terminate misconduct);
or
(B) if communication of otherwise-covered information is
specifically prohibited by law and if such information is
required by Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest
of national defense or the conduct of foreign affairs, it may
be communicated to Congress pursuant to paragraph (1), the
Special Counsel, the Inspector General of an agency, or
another employee designated by the head of the agency to
receive such disclosures;
(3) is about to or files, causes to be filed, testify,
participate in, or otherwise assist in a proceeding or action
filed or about to be filed relating to a violation of any
law, rule, or regulation, or take any other lawful action to
assist in carrying out the purposes of the law, rule, or
regulation;

violation of any law, rule, or regulation;

protected by this subsection or cause such information to be

otherwise alter the employee obligations, rights, or
liabilities created by Executive order No. 12958, section
7211 of title 5, United States Code, United States Code
(governing disclosures to Congress), section 1034 of title
10, United States Code (governing disclosure to Congress by

et seq.) (governing disclosures that could expose
confidential Government agents), and the statutes which

title 18, United States Code, and section 4(b) of the

The definitions, requirements, obligations, rights,
sanctions, and liabilities created by such Executive order
and such statutory provisions are incorporated into this
agreement and are controlling.'';
(e) Clarification of Whistleblower Rights for Critical
Infrastructure Information.--Section 214(c) of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296) is amended by
adding at the end the following: ``For purposes of this
section a permissible use of independently obtained
information includes the disclosure of such information under

2302(b)(8) of title 5, United States Code and the provisions

recommend, or approve any personnel action may be rebutted by
substantial evidence.

determination as to whether an employee or applicant
reasonably believes that they have provided or otherwise
communicated information that evidences any violation of law,
rule, regulation, gross mismanagement, a gross waste of
funds, an abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific
danger to public health or safety shall be made by
determining whether a disinterested observer with knowledge
of the essential facts known to and readily ascertainable by
the employee would reasonably conclude that the actions
evidence such violations, mismanagement, waste, abuse, or
danger.
(i) Enforcement Action.--
(1) In general.--A person who alleges discharge or other
discrimination by any person in violation of this section may
seek relief under this subsection, by--
(A) filing a complaint with the Merit Systems Protection
Board for a violation of sections 2302(b)(8), 2302(b)(9), or

(B) if the Board has not issued a final decision within 180
days of the filing of the complaint and there is no showing
that such delay is due to the bad faith of the claimant,
bringing an action at law or equity for de novo review in the
appropriate district court of the United States, which shall
have jurisdiction over such an action without regard to the
amount in controversy.
(2) Procedure.--
(A) Burdens of proof.--An action brought under this section

seniority status that the person would have had, but for the
discrimination;

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

At the end, add the following new title:

TITLE IV--VISA REQUIREMENTS

SEC. 401. FINDINGS.

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

SEC. 402. IN PERSON INTERVIEWS OF VISA APPLICANTS.

(a) Requirement for Interviews.--Section 222 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1202) is amended by
adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the
Secretary of State shall require every alien applying for a
nonimmigrant visa--
``(1) who is at least 12 years of age and not more than 65
years of age to submit to an in person interview with a
consular officer unless the requirement for such interview is
waived--
``(A) by a consular official and such alien is within that
class of nonimmigrants enumerated in section 101(a)(15)(A) or
101(a)(15)(G) or is granted a diplomatic visa on a diplomatic
passport or on the equivalent thereof;
``(B) by a consular official and such alien is applying for
a visa--
``(i) not more than 12 months after the date on which the
alien's prior visa expired;
``(ii) for the classification under section 101(a)(15) for
which such prior visa was issued;
``(iii) from the consular post located in the country in
which the alien is a national; and
``(iv) the consular officer has no indication that the
alien has not complied with the immigration laws and
regulations of the United States; or
``(C) by the Secretary of State if the Secretary determines
that such waiver is--
``(i) in the national interest of the United States; or
``(ii) necessary as a result of unusual circumstances; and
``(2) notwithstanding paragraph (1), to submit to an in
person interview with a consular officer if such alien--
``(A) is not a national of the country in which the alien
is applying for a visa;
``(B) was previously refused a visa, unless such refusal
was overcome or a waiver of ineligibility has been obtained;
``(C) is listed in the Consular Lookout and Support System
(or successor system at the Department of State);
``(D) may not obtain a visa until a security advisory
opinion or other Department of State clearance is issued
unless such alien is--
``(i) within that class of nonimmigrants enumerated in
section 101(a)(15)(A) or 101(a)(15)(G); and
``(ii) not a national of a country that is officially
designated by the Secretary of State as a state sponsor of
terrorism; or
``(E) is identified as a member of a group or sector that
the Secretary of State determines--
``(i) poses a substantial risk of submitting inaccurate
information in order to obtain a visa;
``(ii) has historically had visa applications denied at a
rate that is higher than the average rate of such denials; or
``(iii) poses a security threat to the United States.''.
(b) Conduct During Interviews.--Section 222 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1202), as amended
by subsection (a), is further amended by adding at the end
the following new subsection:
``(i) A consular officer who is conducting an in person
interview with an alien applying for a visa or other
documentation shall--
``(1) make every effort to conduct such interview fairly;
``(2) employ high professional standards during such
interview;
``(3) use best interviewing techniques to elicit pertinent
information to assess the alien's qualifications, including
techniques to identify any potential security concerns posed
by the alien;
``(4) provide the alien with an adequate opportunity to
present evidence establishing the accuracy of the information
in the alien's application; and
``(5) make a careful record of the interview to document
the basis for the final action on the alien's application, if
appropriate.''.

SEC. 403. VISA APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS.

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

SEC. 404. EFFECTIVE DATE.

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

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

SEC. __01. FINDINGS.

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

SEC. __02. TERRORIST SANCTUARIES.

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

SEC. __03. ROLE OF PAKISTAN IN COUNTERING TERRORISM.

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

SEC. __04. AID TO AFGHANISTAN.

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

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

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

SEC. __06. EFFORTS TO COMBAT ISLAMIST TERRORISM.

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

SEC. __07. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD DICTATORSHIPS.

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

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

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

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

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

this section, unless otherwise authorized by Congress.

SEC. __10. INTERNATIONAL YOUTH OPPORTUNITY FUND.

(a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States,
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Education that teaches tolerance, the dignity and value
of each individual, and respect for different beliefs is a
key element in any global strategy to eliminate Islamist
terrorism.
(2) Education in the Middle East about the world outside
that region is weak.
(3) The United Nations has rightly equated literacy with
freedom.
(4) The international community is moving toward setting a
concrete goal of reducing by half the illiteracy rate in the
Middle East by 2010, through the implementation of education
programs targeting women and girls and programs for adult
literacy, and by other means.
(5) To be effective, efforts to improve education in the
Middle East must also include--
(A) support for the provision of basic education tools,
such as textbooks that translate more of the world's
knowledge into local languages and local libraries to house
such materials; and
(B) more vocational education in trades and business
skills.
(6) The Middle East can benefit from some of the same
programs to bridge the digital

[[Page S10166]]

divide that already have been developed for other regions of
the world.
(b) International Youth Opportunity Fund.--
(1) Establishment.--The President shall establish an
International Youth Opportunity Fund to provide financial
assistance for the improvement of public education in the
Middle East.
(2) International participation.--The President shall seek
the cooperation of the international community in
establishing and generously supporting the Fund.
(c) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized
to be appropriated to the President for the establishment of
the International Youth Opportunity Fund, in addition to any
amounts otherwise available for such purpose, such sums as
may be necessary for each of the fiscal years 2005 through
2009, unless otherwise authorized by Congress.

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

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

SEC. __12. MIDDLE EAST PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE.

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

SEC. __13. COMPREHENSIVE COALITION STRATEGY FOR FIGHTING
TERRORISM.

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

SEC. __14. TREATMENT OF FOREIGN PRISONERS.

(a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States,
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Carrying out the global war on terrorism requires the
development of policies with respect to the detention and
treatment of captured international terrorists that are
adhered to by all coalition forces.
(2) Article 3 of the Convention Relative to the Treatment
of Prisoners of War, done at Geneva August 12, 1949 (6 UST
3316) was specifically designed for cases in which the usual
rules of war do not apply, and the minimum standards of
treatment pursuant to such Article are generally accepted
throughout the world as customary international law.
(b) Policy.--The policy of the United States is as follows:
(1) It is the policy of the United States to treat all
foreign persons captured, detained, interned or otherwise
held in the custody of the United States (hereinafter
``prisoners'') humanely and in accordance with standards that
the United States would consider legal if perpetrated by the
enemy against an American prisoner.
(2) It is the policy of the United States that all
officials of the United States are bound both in wartime and
in peacetime by the legal prohibition against torture, cruel,
inhuman or degrading treatment.
(3) If there is any doubt as to whether prisoners are
entitled to the protections afforded by the Geneva
Conventions, such prisoners shall enjoy the protections of
the Geneva Conventions until such time as their status can be
determined pursuant to the procedures authorized by Army
Regulation 190-8, Section 1-6.
(4) It is the policy of the United States to expeditiously
prosecute cases of terrorism or other criminal acts alleged
to have been committed by prisoners in the custody of the
United States Armed Forces at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in order
to avoid the indefinite detention of prisoners, which is
contrary to the legal principles and security interests of
the United States.
(c) Reporting.--The Department of Defense shall submit to
the appropriate congressional committees:
(1) A quarterly report providing the number of prisoners
who were denied Prisoner of War (POW) status under the Geneva
Conventions and the basis for denying POW status to each such
prisoner.
(2) A report setting forth--
(A) the proposed schedule for military commissions to be
held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; and
(B) the number of individuals currently held at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba, the number of such individuals who are unlikely to
face a military commission in the next six months, and each
reason for not bringing such individuals before a military
commission.
(3) All International Committee of the Red Cross reports,
completed prior to the enactment of this Act, concerning the
treatment of prisoners in United States custody at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Such ICRC reports should be

the United States Government and by any person providing
services to the United States Government on a contract basis.
(2) Report to congress.--The Secretary and the Director
shall submit to Congress the rules, regulations, or

SEC. __15. PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

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

SEC. __16. FINANCING OF TERRORISM.

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

to improve that coordination; and
(E) recommendations for changes in law and additional
resources required to improve this effort.

______

SA 3943. Mr. INOFE (for Mr. Gregg (for himself, Mr. Harkin, Mr.
Kennedy, Mr. Enzi, Mr. Reed, Mr. DeWine, Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Roberts, Mr.
Bingaman, Mrs. Murray, Mr. Daschle, and Mr. Dodd)) submitted an
amendment intended to be proposed by Mr. Inhofe to the bill H.R. 4278,
to amend the Assistive Technology Act of 1998 to support programs of
grants to States to address the assistive technology needs of
individuals with disabilities, and for other purposes; as follows:

Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the
following:

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ``Assistive Technology Act of
2004''.

SEC. 2. AMENDMENT TO THE ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY ACT OF 1998.

The Assistive Technology Act of 1998 (29 U.S.C. 3001 et
seq.) is amended to read as follows:

``SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.

``(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the `Assistive
Technology Act of 1998'.
``(b) Table of Contents.--The table of contents of this Act
is as follows:

``Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents.
``Sec. 2. Findings and purposes.
``Sec. 3. Definitions.
``Sec. 4. State grants for assistive technology.
``Sec. 5. State grants for protection and advocacy services related to
assistive technology.
``Sec. 6. National activities.
``Sec. 7. Administrative provisions.
``Sec. 8. Authorization of appropriations.

``SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

``(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
``(1) Over 54,000,000 individuals in the United States have
disabilities, with almost half experiencing severe
disabilities that affect their ability to see, hear,
communicate, reason, walk, or perform other basic life
functions.
``(2) Disability is a natural part of the human experience
and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to--
``(A) live independently;
``(B) enjoy self-determination and make choices;
``(C) benefit from an education;
``(D) pursue meaningful careers; and
``(E) enjoy full inclusion and integration in the economic,
political, social, cultural, and educational mainstream of
society in the United States.
``(3) Technology is one of the primary engines for economic
activity, education, and innovation in the Nation, and
throughout the world. The commitment of the United States to
the development and utilization of technology is one of the
main factors underlying the strength and vibrancy of the
economy of the United States.
``(4) As technology has come to play an increasingly
important role in the lives of all persons in the United
States, in the conduct of business, in the functioning of
government, in the fostering of communication, in the conduct
of commerce, and in the provision of education, its impact
upon the lives of individuals with disabilities in the United
States has been comparable to its impact upon the remainder
of the citizens of the United States. Any development in
mainstream technology will have profound implications for
individuals with disabilities in the United States.
``(5) Substantial progress has been made in the development
of assistive technology devices, including adaptations to
existing devices that facilitate activities of daily living
that significantly benefit individuals with disabilities of
all ages. These devices, including adaptations, increase
involvement in, and reduce expenditures associated with,
programs and activities that facilitate communication, ensure
independent functioning, enable early childhood development,
support educational achievement, provide and enhance
employment options, and enable full participation in
community living for individuals with disabilities. Access to
such devices can also reduce expenditures associated with
early childhood intervention, education, rehabilitation and
training, health care, employment, residential living,
independent living, recreation opportunities, and other
aspects of daily living.
``(6) Over the last 15 years, the Federal Government has
invested in the development of comprehensive statewide
programs of technology-related assistance, which have proven
effective in assisting individuals with disabilities in
accessing assistive technology devices and assistive
technology services. This partnership between the Federal
Government and the States provided an important service to
individuals with disabilities by strengthening the capacity
of each State to assist individuals with disabilities of all
ages meet their assistive technology needs.
``(7) Despite the success of the Federal-State partnership
in providing access to assistive technology devices and
assistive technology services, there is a continued need to
provide information about the availability of assistive
technology, advances in improving accessibility and
functionality of assistive technology, and appropriate
methods to secure and utilize assistive technology in order
to maximize the independence and participation of individuals
with disabilities in society.
``(8) The combination of significant recent changes in
Federal policy (including changes to section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d), accessibility
provisions of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (42 U.S.C.
15301 et seq.), and the amendments made to the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) by
the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001) and the rapid and
unending evolution of technology require a Federal-State
investment in State assistive technology systems to continue
to ensure that individuals with disabilities reap the
benefits of the technological revolution and participate
fully in life in their communities.
``(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
``(1) to support State efforts to improve the provision of
assistive technology to individuals with disabilities through
comprehensive statewide programs of technology-related
assistance, for individuals with disabilities of all ages,
that are designed to--
``(A) increase the availability of, funding for, access to,
provision of, and training about assistive technology devices
and assistive technology services;
``(B) increase the ability of individuals with disabilities
of all ages to secure and maintain possession of assistive
technology devices as such individuals make the transition
between services offered by educational or human service
agencies or between settings of daily living (for example,
between home and work);
``(C) increase the capacity of public agencies and private
entities to provide and pay for assistive technology devices
and assistive technology services on a statewide basis for
individuals with disabilities of all ages;
``(D) increase the involvement of individuals with
disabilities and, if appropriate, their family members,
guardians, advocates, and authorized representatives, in
decisions related to the provision of assistive technology
devices and assistive technology services;
``(E) increase and promote coordination among State
agencies, between State and local agencies, among local
agencies, and between State and local agencies and private
entities (such as managed care providers), that are involved
or are eligible to be involved in carrying out activities
under this Act;
``(F) increase the awareness and facilitate the change of
laws, regulations, policies, practices, procedures, and
organizational structures, that facilitate the availability
or provision of assistive technology devices and assistive
technology services; and
``(G) increase awareness and knowledge of the benefits of
assistive technology devices and assistive technology
services among targeted individuals and entities and the
general population; and
``(2) to provide States with financial assistance that
supports programs designed to maximize the ability of
individuals with disabilities and their family members,
guardians, advocates, and authorized representatives to
obtain assistive technology devices and assistive technology
services.
