SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING A REPORT ON THE 9/11 COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS WITH RESPECT TO INTELLIGENCE REFORM AND CONGRESSIONAL INTELLIGENCE OVERSIGHT REFORM.

(2) In its final report, the 9/11 Commission found that-- (A) congressional oversight of the intelligence activities of the United States is dysfunctional; (B) under the rules of the Senate and the House of Representatives in effect at the time the report was completed, the committees of Congress charged with oversight of the intelligence activities lacked the power, influence, and sustained capability to meet the daunting challenges faced by the intelligence community of the United States; (C) as long as such oversight is governed by such rules of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the people of the United States will not get the security they want and need; (D) a strong, stable, and capable congressional committee structure is needed to give the intelligence community of the United States appropriate oversight, support, and leadership; and (E) the reforms recommended by the 9/11 Commission in its final report will not succeed if congressional oversight of the intelligence community in the United States is not changed. (3) The 9/11 Commission recommended structural changes to Congress to improve the oversight of intelligence activities. (4) Congress has enacted some of the recommendations made by the 9/11 Commission and is considering implementing additional recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. (5) The Senate adopted Senate Resolution 445 in the 108th Congress to address some of the oversight recommendations of the 9/11 Commission by abolishing term limits for the members of the Select Committee on Intelligence, clarifying jurisdiction for intelligence-related nominations, and streamlining procedures for the referral of intelligence- related legislation, but other aspects of the 9/11 Commission recommendations regarding oversight have not been implemented. (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate each, or jointly, should-- (1) undertake a review of the recommendations made in the final report of the 9/11 Commission with respect to intelligence reform and congressional intelligence oversight reform; (2) review and consider any other suggestions, options, or recommendations for improving intelligence oversight; and (3) not later than December 21, 2007, submit to the Senate a report that includes the recommendations of the Committee, if any, for carrying out such reforms. ______ SA 390.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings: (1) Openness to international students, scholars, scientists, and exchange visitors serves vital and longstanding national foreign policy, educational, and economic interests. (2) The real and perceived erosion of such openness undermines the national security interests of the United States. (3) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States recommended: ``The United States should rebuild the scholarship, exchange, and library programs that reach out to young people and offer them knowledge and hope.''. (4) The Government Accountability Office convened a forum in September 2006 to discuss concerns whether the United States will be able to ``attract an appropriate share of talented international students to its universities and to its workforce,'' in which participants ``identified real and perceived barriers created by U.S. immigration policy.''. (5) Increased marketing by countries such as Great Britain and Australia give rise to concerns that the United States has lost market share with regard to international students. The European Union has set forth a comprehensive strategy to be the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010, and part of this strategy is aimed at enhancing economic competitiveness by making the European Union the most favorable destination for students, scholars, and researchers from other regions of the world. (6) International students studying in the United States and their families contribute more than $13,000,000,000 to the United States economy each year, making higher education a major service sector export.

(c) Language Training Programs.-- (1) Accreditation requirement.--Section 101(a)(15)(F)(i) (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(F)(i) is amended by striking ``a language'' and inserting ``an accredited language''. (2) Rulemaking.--Not later than 6 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall issue regulations that-- (A) except as provided in subparagraphs (C) and (D), require that an accredited language training program described in section 101(a)(15)(F)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended by paragraph (1), be accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the Secretary of Education; (B) require that if such an accredited language training program provides intensive language training, the head of such program provide the Secretary of Education with documentation regarding the specific subject matter for which the program is accredited; (C) permit an alien admitted as a nonimmigrant under such section 101(a)(15)(F)(i) to participate in a language training program, during the 2-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, if such program is not accredited under subparagraph (A); and (D) permit a language training program established after the date of the enactment of this Act, which is not accredited under subparagraph (A), to qualify as an accredited language training program under such section 101(a)(15)(F)(i) during the 2-year period beginning on the date on which such program is established.

(e) Short-Term Study on Tourist Visa.--Section 101(a)(15)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(B) is amended by inserting ``for a period longer than 90 days'' after ``study''. (f) Restoration of Limited Interview Waiver Authority for Returning International Students and Frequent Visitors.-- Section 222(h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1202(h) is amended-- (1) in paragraph (1)-- (A) in subparagraph (B)(iv), by striking ``or'' at the end; (B) in subparagraph (C)(ii), by striking ``and'' at the end and inserting ``or''; and (C) by adding at the end the following: ``(D) by the Secretary of State if the Secretary has provided for expedited visa review because the alien is-- ``(i) a frequent visitor to the United States, who-- ``(I) has a history of visa approvals; ``(II) has provided biometric data; and ``(III) has agreed to provide the consulate with such information as the Secretary may require; or ``(ii) admitted under subparagraph (F) or (J) of section 101(a)(15), who-- ``(I) is pursuing a program of study in the United States; ``(II) has not violated their immigration status; ``(III) has left the United States temporarily; and ``(IV) requires a new visa to return to the same program; and''; and (2) in paragraph (2)(A), by inserting at the end ``except for an alien described in paragraph (1)(D)(ii)''. ____________________
