SEC. 403. REFORM OF THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY.

(a) Findings With Respect to the International Atomic Energy
Agency.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Efforts to prevent the further spread of nuclear
weapons capabilities would be enhanced by universal membership
in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
(2) The enhanced authorities provided by the Additional
Protocol to the Safeguards Agreements between the IAEA and
Member States of the IAEA are indispensable to the ability of
the IAEA to conduct inspections of nuclear facilities to a high
degree of confidence.
(3) The national security interests of the United States
would be enhanced by the universal ratification and
implementation of the Additional Protocol.
(4) The national security interests of the United States
would be enhanced by the rapid implementation by all Member
States of the United Nations of United Nations Security Council
Resolution 1540, which prohibits all Member States from
providing any form of support to non-state actors that attempt
to manufacture, acquire, possess, develop, transport, transfer,
or use nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons and their means
of delivery, and requiring all Member States to adopt and
enforce appropriate and effective domestic laws criminalizing
such acts.
(5) The national security interests of the United States
require that the IAEA possess sufficient authorities and
resources to comprehensively and efficiently carry out its
responsibilities for inspections and safeguards of nuclear
facilities.
(6) Regularly assessed contributions of Member States to
the regular budget of the IAEA are due in the first quarter of
each calendar year.
(7) Currently, the United States does not pay its regularly
assessed contribution to the regular budget of the IAEA until
the last quarter of each calendar year.
(8) This delayed payment results in recurring shortages of
funds for the IAEA, thus compromising its ability to conduct
safeguards inspections and nuclear security activities.
(b) Findings With Respect to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.--
Congress finds the following:
(1) The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
(21 UST 483) (commonly referred to as the ``Nuclear
Nonproliferation Treaty'' or the ``NPT'') is the foundation for
international cooperation to prevent the further spread of
nuclear weapons capabilities.
(2) The NPT was conceived, written, and ratified by State
Parties as a treaty for the specific purpose of preventing the
proliferation of nuclear weapons and nuclear explosive devices,
as stated in the Preamble and first three Articles of the NPT.
(3) The overriding priority of the NPT is preventing the
proliferation of nuclear weapons and nuclear explosive devices.
(4) Article IV of the NPT conditions the ``inalienable
right to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy
for peaceful purposes without discrimination'' on conformity
with Articles I and II, which obligate signatories ``not to
manufacture of otherwise acquire nuclear weapons or other
nuclear explosive devices; and not to seek or receive any
assistance in the manufacture of nuclear weapons or other
nuclear explosive devices''.
(5) Because the processes used for the enrichment of
uranium and the reprocessing of plutonium for peaceful purposes
are virtually identical to those needed for military purposes
and thereby inherently pose an enhanced risk of proliferation,
even under strict international inspections, Article IV of the
NPT cannot be interpreted to recognize the inalienable right by
every country to enrich uranium or reprocess plutonium.
(6) Because the factors needed for the development of
nuclear energy for peaceful purposes are virtually identical to
those required for the development of nuclear weapons and
devices, Article X cannot be interpreted to allow a signatory
country to develop a nuclear weapons program based on
materials, facilities, and equipment it has acquired through
its Article IV cooperation.
(c) Statement of Congress.--Congress declares that--
(1) all provisions of the NPT must be interpreted within
the context of preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons
and nuclear explosive devices;
(2) Article IV of the NPT, interpreted in conformity with
the NPT's purpose, spirit, and freely undertaken obligations by
State Parties, does not guarantee every country that is a State
Party an inalienable right to enrich uranium or reprocess
plutonium; and
(3) if a State Party chooses to exercise its Article X
right of withdrawal from the NPT, such State Party must
surrender all of the materials, facilities, and equipment it
has acquired through its Article IV cooperation, and no State
Party will be recognized as having legally exercised its
Article X right of withdrawal from the NPT until it has
surrendered all such materials, facilities, and equipment.
(d) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Director General of the IAEA should strengthen
efforts to secure universal ratification and implementation of

TITLE VI--ADVANCE DEMOCRACY ACT OF 2005

SEC. 601. SHORT TITLE.

This title may be cited as the ``Advance Democratic Values, Address
Nondemocratic Countries, and Enhance Democracy Act of 2005'' or the
``ADVANCE Democracy Act of 2005''.

SEC. 602. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) All human beings are created equal and possess certain
rights and freedoms, including the fundamental right to
participate in the political life and government of their
respective countries. These inalienable rights are recognized
in the Declaration of Independence of the United States and in
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United
Nations.
(2) The continued lack of democracy, freedom, and
fundamental human rights in some countries is inconsistent with
the universal values on which the United States is based and
such continued lack of democracy, freedom, and fundamental
human rights also poses a national security threat to the
United States, its interests, and its friends, as it is in such
countries that radicalism, extremism, and terrorism can
flourish.
(3) There is also a correlation between nondemocratic rule
and other threats to international peace and security,
including threats from war, genocide, famine, poverty, drug
trafficking, corruption, refugee flows, human trafficking,
religious persecution, environmental degradation, and
discrimination against women.
(4) The transition to democracy must be led from within
nondemocratic countries, including by nongovernmental
organizations, movements, and individuals, and by nationals of
such countries who live abroad. Nevertheless, democratic
countries have a number of instruments available for supporting
democratic reformers who are committed to promoting effective,
nonviolent change in nondemocratic countries.
(5) United States efforts to promote democracy and protect
human rights in countries where they are lacking can be
strengthened to improve assistance for such reformers. United
States ambassadors and diplomats can play a critical role in
such efforts to promote democracy by publicly demonstrating
support for democratic principles and supporting democratic
reformers. Training and incentives are needed to assist United
States officials in strengthening the techniques and skills
required to promote democracy.
(6) A full evaluation of United States funds expended for
the support of democracy is also necessary to ensure an
efficient and effective use of the resources that are dedicated
to these efforts.
(7) The promotion of democracy requires a broad-based
effort with collaboration between all democratic countries,
including through the Community of Democracies.
(8) The promotion of such universal democracy constitutes a
long-term challenge that does not always lead to an immediate
transition to full democracy, but through a dedicated and
integrated approach can achieve universal democracy.

SEC. 603. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

It shall be the policy of the United States--
(1) to promote freedom and democracy in foreign countries
as a fundamental component of United States foreign policy;
(2) to affirm fundamental freedoms and human rights in
foreign countries and to condemn offenses against those
freedoms and rights as a fundamental component of United States
foreign policy;
(3) to use all instruments of United States influence to
support, promote, and strengthen democratic principles,
practices, and values in foreign countries, including the right
to free, fair, and open elections, secret balloting, and
universal suffrage;
(4) to protect and promote fundamental freedoms and rights,
including the freedoms of association, of expression, of the
press, and of religion, and the right to own private property;
(5) to protect and promote respect for and adherence to the
rule of law in foreign countries;
(6) to provide appropriate support to organizations,
individuals, and movements located in nondemocratic countries
that aspire to live in freedom and establish full democracy in
such countries;
(7) to provide, political, economic, and other support to
foreign countries that are willingly undertaking a transition
to democracy;
(8) to commit United States foreign policy to the challenge
of achieving universal democracy; and
(9) to strengthen alliances and relationships with other
democratic countries in order to better promote and defend
shared values and ideals.

CAUCUS.

for members of the Foreign Service and appropriate members of
the Civil Service to support such an establishment.

discussing democratic principles, practices, and values, and
political, social, and economic freedoms, and condemning

greater transparency and responsibility by other countries in their
export control systems.

of this Act and no later than January 31 of each year thereafter, the
President shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a
report detailing any activity by any foreign person described in
section 811. This report shall also include a description of any
sanctions that have been imposed and their duration.
(b) Publication.--When the President imposes sanctions under
section 811, the President shall, to the maximum extent unclassified,
publish in the Federal Register, not later than 15 days after reporting
such sanctions to the appropriate congressional committees under
subsection (a), the identity of each sanctioned foreign person, the
period for which sanctions will be in effect, and the reasons for the
sanctions.

Subtitle B--Further Actions Against Corporations Associated With
Sanctioned Foreign Persons

SEC. 821. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) Foreign persons and corporations engaging in nuclear
black-market activities are motivated by reasons of commercial
gain and profit.
(2) Sanctions targeted solely against the business
interests of the sanctioned person or business concern may be
unsuccessful in halting these proliferation activities, as the
sanctions may be seen merely as the cost of doing business,
especially if the business interests of the parent or
subsidiary corporate entities are unaffected by the sanctions.
(3) Such narrow targeting of sanctions creates the
incentive to create shell and ``carve-out'' corporate entities
to perform the proliferation activities and attract sanctions,
leaving all other aspects of the larger corporation unaffected.
(4) To dissuade corporations from allowing their associated
commercial entities or persons from engaging in proliferation
black-market activities, they must also be made to suffer
financial loss and commercial disadvantage, and parent and
subsidiary commercial enterprises must be held responsible for
the proliferation activities of their associated entities.
(5) If a corporation perceives that the United States
Government will do everything possible to make its commercial
activity difficult around the world, then that corporation has
a powerful commercial incentive to prevent any further
proliferation activity by its associated entities.
(6) Therefore, the United States Government should seek to
increase the risk of commercial loss for associated corporate
entities for the proliferation actions of their subsidiaries.

SEC. 822. CAMPAIGN BY UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.

The President shall instruct all agencies of the United States
Government to make every effort in their interactions with foreign
government and business officials to persuade foreign governments and
relevant corporations not to engage in any business transaction with a
foreign person sanctioned under section 811, including any parent or
subsidiary of the sanctioned foreign person, for the duration of the
sanctions.

SEC. 823. COORDINATION.

The Secretary of State shall coordinate the actions of the United
States Government under section 822.

SEC. 824. REPORT.

Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act
and annually thereafter, the Secretary of State shall report to the
appropriate congressional committees on the actions taken by the United
States to carry out section 822.

TITLE IX--EAST ASIA SECURITY ACT OF 2005

SEC. 901. SHORT TITLE.

This title may be cited as the ``East Asia Security Act of 2005''.

SEC. 902. STATEMENTS OF POLICY.

Congress--
(1) previously expressed its strong concerns in House
Resolution 57 of February 2, 2005, and Senate Resolution 91 of
March 17, 2005, with the transfer of armaments and related
technology to the People's Republic of China by member states
of the European Union, which increased eightfold from 2001 to
2003, and with plans to terminate in the near future the arms
embargo they imposed in 1989 following the Tiananmen Square
massacre;
(2) welcomes deferral of a decision by the European Council
to terminate its arms embargo following adoption of those
Resolutions, the President's visit to Europe, and growing
concern among countries in the regions and the general public
on both sides of the Atlantic;
(3) welcomes the decision by the European Parliament on
April 14, 2005, by a vote of 421 to 85, to oppose the lifting
of the European Union's arms embargo on the People's Republic
of China, and resolutions issued by a number of elected
parliamentary bodies in Europe also opposing the lifting of the
arms embargo;
(4) also welcomes the onset of a strategic dialogue between
the European Commission and the Government of the United States
on the security situation in East Asia, through which it is
hoped a greater understanding will emerge of the consequences
of European assistance to the military buildup of the People's
Republic of China for peace and stability in that region, to
the security interests of the United States and its friends and
allies in the region, and, in particular, to the safety of
United States Armed Forces whose presence in the region has
been a decisive factor in ensuring peace and prosperity since
the end of World War II;
(5) hopes that a more intensive dialogue with Europe on
this matter will clarify for United States friends and allies
in Europe how their ``non-lethal'' arms transfers improve the
force projection of the People's Republic of China, are far
from benign, and enhance the prospects for the threat or use of
force in resolving the status of Taiwan, a troubling prospect
made more ominous by recent adoption of a new law by the
Chinese National People's Congress expressly authorizing the
use of force;
(6) also hopes that this dialogue will result in an
important new consensus between the United States and its
European partners on the need for coordinated policies which
encourage the development of democracy in the People's Republic
of China and which discourage, not assist, China's unjustified
military buildup and pursuit of weapons that threaten its
neighbors;
(7) however, deeply regrets that none of the European
friends and allies of the United States who have been
transferring arms to the People's Republic of China has
announced a cessation or even a temporary halt to those
transfers while this new dialogue with the United States
ensues, and notes with concern that such European friends and
allies have provided little, if any, transparency to the United
States Government into the full range and capabilities of all
of the armaments and related technology that they have
transferred to date and continue even now to do so;
(8) is further troubled by public reports describing well
known European companies as suppliers to weapons programs of
the People's Republic of China, who are also participants in
numerous sensitive United States Government weapons programs,
and the increased risks of diversion of United States weapons
technology to China inherent in such an undesirable situation;
and
(9) in view of the gravity of European arms sales to the
People's Republic of China, which have not abated, believes it
is necessary to make provision for greater scrutiny and
oversight with respect to those areas of international armament
cooperation that present increased levels of risk to the
security interests of the United States and to authorize
appropriate measures which the President may draw on in
deterring foreign support for China's military buildup in order
to safeguard the national security interests of the United
States and peace and security in East Asia.

indiscriminate logging, rapid urbanization, and increasing
development along coasts and in other hazardous regions.

CHAPTER 2--PART II OF THE FOREIGN ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1961

SEC. 1021. ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND ASSISTANCE FOR EGYPT.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Despite more than $28 billion in economic assistance
provided by the United States to Egypt since 1975, Egypt's
economy and educational systems are underdeveloped and
democratic development remains extremely limited. Egypt remains
near the bottom of many indices of growth and human
development.
(2) Egypt's economic troubles, if not addressed through
programs to develop Egypt's private sector, could destabilize
the country.
(3) United States programs to promote growth in Egypt,
including traditional development assistance as well as
programs that attempt to link disbursement of cash assistance
to the adoption of economic reforms by the Government of Egypt,
have had, at best, mixed success.
(4) The United States has provided more than $32 billion in
military assistance to Egypt since 1979.
(5) Egypt is currently at peace with all its neighbors.
(6) Egypt and the United States entered into an agreement
in March 2005, whereby Egypt undertook to accomplish certain
reform-oriented policies primarily related to its financial
sector, and the United States undertook, subject to its
constitutional processes, to provide Egypt with cash
assistance. This program of financial reform is important and
should continue, supported by assistance in the form of cash
transferred from the United States, but not in amounts in
excess of amounts already agreed to and not for lesser policy
reforms than have already been agreed to.
(7) The model of an agreement for policy change between the
United States and Egypt, similar but not identical to, the
concept of a ``Millennium Challenge'' compact that emphasizes
performance and outcomes, would be a way to reinvigorate a
program for the development of the Egyptian economy that has
languished for years, and would give more Egyptians a stake in
the proper planning and execution of programs to assist in
their country's development.
(b) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United
States--
(1) to acknowledge that--
(A) threats to Egypt's stability derive far more
from domestic problems, such as inadequate economic
growth, deficient educational and health-care systems,
and lack of political freedom, than from external
dangers; and
(B) external threats to Egyptian stability are, in
fact, minimal;
(2) to provide non-military assistance to Egypt which
results in actual, sustainable, and, to the extent possible,
measurable outcomes in terms of economic growth, poverty
reduction, humanitarian conditions, health, education, and
political reform;
(3) to restructure Egypt's assistance package over time so
as to diminish military assistance and end the reduction of
economic assistance and to begin the process of this
restructuring without delay; and
(4) to ensure that this restructuring is done in such a
manner that ensures that maintenance and spare parts for
existing Egyptian military equipment is not jeopardized and
that Egyptian military purchases and projects to which the
United States has already committed itself be funded fully in
accordance with previous understandings.
(c) Amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.--
(1) In general.--Chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq; relating to the
``Economic Support Fund'') is amended by inserting after
section 534 the following new section:

percent of country-specific health program funds, as needed, to support
projects to create and improve indigenous capacity for health care
delivery in regions in which such projects are most needed.

SEC. 1054. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ELIMINATION OF EXTREME POVERTY
IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the elimination of extreme poverty in developing
countries should be a major priority of United States foreign
policy;
(2) the Unites States should further demonstrate its
leadership and commitment to eliminating extreme poverty by
working with developing countries, donor countries, and

International Development, and the Millennium Challenge
Corporation should increase their efforts to enhance recipient
country participation in the planning of development programs,

AND OTHER INDIGENOUS CHRISTIANS IN IRAQ.

welcome the opportunity following Iraq's liberation to move
beyond the days of repression and persecution and toward
greater prosperity by cooperating in the development of a
democratic, pluralistic state.

Iraq's indigenous Christians into diaspora since the 1960s and
now threatens to create a mass exodus, thereby depriving Iraq
of one of its oldest and most distinctive ethnic communities.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) all relevant departments and agencies of the Government
of the United States should pay special attention to the
welfare of ChaldoAssyrians and other indigenous Christians in
Iraq in order to prevent a mass exodus that would detrimentally
affect the preservation of diversity in the Middle East and the
promotion of general tolerance for others; and
(2) the President, acting through the Administrator of the
United States Agency for International Development, should
allocate funds specifically for the promotion of the welfare,
education, and resettlement of ChaldoAssyrians and other

SEC. 1115. DEVELOPMENTS IN AND POLICY TOWARD INDONESIA.

(a) Statement of Congress Relating to Recent Developments, Human
Rights, and Reform.--Congress--
(1) recognizes the remarkable progress in democratization
and decentralization made by Indonesia in recent years and
commends the people of Indonesia on the pace and scale of those
continuing reforms;
(2) reaffirms--
(A) its deep condolences to the people of Indonesia
for the profound losses inflicted by the December 26,
2004, earthquake and tsunami; and
(B) its commitment to generous United States
support for relief and long term reconstruction efforts
in affected areas;
(3) expresses its hope that in the aftermath of the tsunami
tragedy the Government of Indonesia and other parties will
succeed in reaching and implementing a peaceful, negotiated
settlement of the long-standing conflict in Aceh;
(4) commends the Government of Indonesia for allowing broad
international access to Aceh after the December 2004 tsunami,
and urges that international nongovernmental organizations and
media be allowed unfettered access throughout Indonesia,
including in Papua and Aceh;
(5) notes with grave concern that--
(A) reform of the Indonesian security forces has
not kept pace with democratic political reform, and
that the Indonesian military is subject to inadequate
civilian control and oversight, lacks budgetary
transparency, and continues to emphasize an internal
security role within Indonesia;
(B) members of the Indonesian security forces
continue to commit many serious human rights
violations, including killings, torture, rape, and
arbitrary detention, particularly in areas of communal
and separatist conflict; and
(C) the Government of Indonesia largely fails to
hold soldiers and police accountable for extrajudicial
killings and other serious human rights abuses, both
past and present, including atrocities committed in
East Timor prior to its independence from Indonesia;
(6) condemns the intimidation and harassment of human
rights and civil society organizations by members of the
Indonesian security forces and military-backed militia groups,
and urges a complete investigation of the fatal poisoning of
prominent human rights activist Munir in September 2004; and
(7) urges the Government of Indonesia and the Indonesian
military to continue to provide full, active, and unfettered
cooperation to the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the
Department of Justice in its investigation of the August 31,
2002, attack near Timika, Papua, which killed three people
(including two Americans, Rick Spier and Ted Burgon) and
injured 12 others, and to pursue the indictment, apprehension,
and prosecution of all parties responsible for that attack.
(b) Findings Relating to Papua.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Papua, a resource-rich province whose indigenous
inhabitants are predominantly Melanesian, was formerly a colony
of the Netherlands.
(2) While Indonesia has claimed Papua as part of its
territory since its independence in the late 1940s, Papua
remained under Dutch administrative control until 1962.
(3) On August 15, 1962, Indonesia and the Netherlands
signed an agreement at the United Nations in New York (commonly
referred to as the ``New York Agreement'') which transferred
administration of Papua first to a United Nations Temporary
Executive Authority (UNTEA), and then to Indonesia in 1963,
pending an ``act of free choice . . . to permit the inhabitants
to decide whether they wish to remain with Indonesia''.
(4) In the New York Agreement, Indonesia formally
recognized ``the eligibility of all adults [in Papua] . . . to
participate in [an] act of self-determination to be carried out
in accordance with international practice'', and pledged ``to
give the people of the territory the opportunity to exercise
freedom of choice . . . before the end of 1969''.
(5) In July and August 1969, Indonesia conducted an ``Act
of Free Choice'', in which 1,025 selected Papuan elders voted
unanimously to join Indonesia, in circumstances that were
subject to both overt and covert forms of manipulation.
(6) In the intervening years, indigenous Papuans have
suffered extensive human rights abuses, natural resource
exploitation, environmental degradation, and commercial
dominance by immigrant communities, and some individuals and
groups estimate that more than 100,000 Papuans have been killed
during Indonesian rule, primarily during the Sukarno and
Suharto administrations.
(7) While the United States supports the territorial
integrity of Indonesia, Indonesia's historical reliance on
force for the maintenance of control has been
counterproductive, and long-standing abuses by security forces
have galvanized independence sentiments among many Papuans.
(8) While the Indonesian parliament passed a Special
Autonomy Law for Papua in October 2001 that was intended to
allocate greater revenue and decision making authority to the
Papuan provincial government, the promise of special autonomy
has not been effectively realized and has been undermined in
its implementation, such as by conflicting legal directives
further subdividing the province in apparent contravention of
the law and without the consent of appropriate provincial
authorities.
(9) Rather than demilitarizing its approach, Indonesia has
reportedly sent thousands of additional troops to Papua, and
military operations in the central highlands since the fall of
2004 have displaced thousands of civilians into very vulnerable
circumstances, contributing further to mistrust of the central
government by many indigenous Papuans.
(10) According to the 2004 Annual Country Report on Human
Rights Practices of the Department of State, in Indonesia
``security force members murdered, tortured, raped, beat, and
arbitrarily detained civilians and members of separatist
movements'' and ``police frequently and arbitrarily detained
persons without warrants, charges, or court proceedings'' in
Papua.
(c) Reporting Requirements.--
(1) Report on special autonomy.--Not later than 180 days
after the date of the enactment of this Act and one year
thereafter, the Secretary of State shall submit to the
appropriate congressional committees a report detailing
implementation of special autonomy for Papua and Aceh. Such
reports shall include--
(A) an assessment of the extent to which each
province has enjoyed an increase in revenue allocations
and decision making authority;
(B) a description of access by international press
and non-governmental organizations to each province;

society in governance and decision making;
(D) a description of force levels and conduct of
Indonesian security forces in each province; and
(E) a description of United States efforts to
promote respect for human rights in each province.
(2) Report on the 1969 act of free choice.--Not later than
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the
Secretary of State shall submit to the appropriate
congressional committees a report analyzing the 1969 Act of
Free Choice.

(2) John Branchizio, Mark Parson, and John Marin Linde were
contract employees providing security to United States
diplomatic personnel who were visiting Gaza in order to
identify potential Palestinian candidates for Fulbright

partner for the United States in resolving the Palestinian-
Israeli conflict;
(2) future United States assistance to the Palestinian
Authority may be affected, and the continued operation of the
PLO Representative Office in Washington may be jeopardized, if
the Palestinian Authority does not fully and effectively
cooperate in bringing to justice the murderers of John
Branchizio, Mark Parson, and John Marin Linde; and
(3) it is in the vital national security interest of the
United States to safeguard, to the greatest extent possible
consistent with their mission, United States diplomats and all
embassy and consulate personnel, and to use the full power of
the United States to bring to justice any individual or entity
that threatens, jeopardizes, or harms them.

recommended by the United States that were not pursued by the
Palestinian Authority.

subsection (c) shall no longer apply if the Secretary of State

SEC. 1124. EXTRADITION OF VIOLENT CRIMINALS FROM MEXICO TO THE UNITED
STATES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Mexico is unable to extradite criminals who face life
sentences without the possibility of parole because of a 2001
decision of the Mexican Supreme Court.
(2) As a result of this ruling, Mexico is unable to
extradite to the United States numerous suspects wanted for
violent crimes committed in the United States unless the United
States assures Mexico that these criminals will not face life
imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
(3) The attorneys general from all 50 States have asked the
Government of the United States to continue to address this
extradition issue with the Government of Mexico.
(4) The Government of the United States and the Government
of Mexico have experienced positive cooperation on numerous
matters relevant to their bilateral relationship, including
increased cooperation on extraditions.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
Government of the United States should encourage the Government of
Mexico to continue to work closely with the Mexican Supreme Court to
urge the Court to re-visit its October 2001 ruling so that the
possibility of life imprisonment without parole will not have an effect
on the timely extradition of criminal suspects from Mexico to the

each serve terms of six years, except that the terms of the
initial board shall be staggered so that no more than two board
members' terms will expire in any one year. No board member may

Conference should adopt, a resolution incorporating the Nuclear
Security Action Plan into the regular budget of the IAEA.

Subtitle D--Peacekeeping

SEC. 1251. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING REFORM OF UNITED NATIONS
PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS.

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

SEC. 1252. STATEMENT OF POLICY RELATING TO REFORM OF UNITED NATIONS
PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS.

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

TITLE XIII--OPENING DOORS FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS

SEC. 1301. SHORT TITLE.

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

SEC. 1302. FINDINGS.

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

SEC. 1303. DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY TO ATTRACT FOREIGN
STUDENTS TO STUDY IN THE UNITED STATES.

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

SEC. 1304. IDENTIFICATION OF PRIORITY MISSIONS AND MISSIONS EMPLOYING
BEST PRACTICES FOR ATTRACTING STUDENT VISA APPLICANTS.

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

SEC. 1305. ENHANCED TRAINING IN PROCESSING AND FACILITATING STUDENT
VISAS.

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

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

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

SEC. 1306. ENHANCED DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS TO NEGOTIATE FAVORABLE
RECIPROCAL AGREEMENTS WITH FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS CONCERNING
STUDENT VISA TERM LIMITS.

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

TITLE XIV--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Subtitle A--General Provisions

SEC. 1401. STATEMENT OF POLICY RELATING TO DEMOCRACY IN IRAN.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Iran is neither free nor democratic. Men and women are
not treated equally in Iran, women are legally deprived of
internationally recognized human rights, and religious freedom
is not respected under the laws of Iran. Undemocratic
institutions, such as the Guardians Council, thwart the
decisions of elected leaders.
(2) The April 2005 report of the Department of State states
that Iran remained the most active state sponsor of terrorism
in 2004.
(3) That report also states that Iran continues to provide
funding, safe-haven, training, and weapons to known terrorist
groups, including Hizballah, Hamas, the Palestine Islamic
Jihad, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, and the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine, and has harbored senior members of al-
Qaeda.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States that--
(1) currently, there is not a free and fully democratic
government in Iran;
(2) the United States supports transparent, full democracy
in Iran;
(3) the United States supports the rights of the Iranian
people to choose their system of government; and
(4) the United States condemns the brutal treatment,
imprisonment, and torture of Iranian civilians who express
political dissent.

SEC. 1402. IRANIAN NUCLEAR ACTIVITIES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Iran remains the world's leading sponsors of
international terrorism and is on the Department of State's
list of countries that provide support for acts of
international terrorism.
(2) Iran has repeatedly called for the destruction of
Israel, and Iran supports organizations, such as Hizballah,
Hamas, and the Palestine Islamic Jihad, that deny Israel's
right to exist and are responsible for terrorist attacks
against Israel.
(3) The Ministry of Defense of the Government of Iran
confirmed in July 2003 that it had successfully conducted the
final test of the Shahab-3 missile, giving Iran an operational
intermediate-range ballistic missile capable of striking both
Israel and United States troops throughout the Middle East and
Afghanistan.
(4) Inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) in Iran have revealed significant undeclared activities,
including plutonium reprocessing efforts.
(5) Plutonium reprocessing is a necessary step in a nuclear
weapons program that uses plutonium created in a reactor.
(6) Iran continues to assert its right to pursue nuclear
power and related technology, continues constructing a heavy
water reactor that is ideal for making plutonium for weapons,
and has not fully cooperated with the ongoing investigation by
the IAEA of its nuclear activities.
(7) The United States has publicly opposed the completion
of reactors at the Bushehr nuclear power plant because the
transfer of civilian nuclear technology and training could help
to advance Iran's nuclear weapons program.
(8) Russia, in spite of strong international concern that
Iran intended to use civilian nuclear energy plants to develop
nuclear weapons, provided Iran with support to complete the
Bushehr nuclear facility.
(9) Russia intends to begin supplying the Bushehr nuclear
facility with fuel in June 2005, and the Bushehr nuclear plant
is expected to begin operation at the beginning of 2006.
(10) The Iranian parliament has ratified a bill supporting
the construction of 20 new nuclear power plants.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Russia's provision of assistance to Iran on the Bushehr
nuclear reactor is inconsistent with the nonproliferation goals
of the United States;
(2) Iran's stated plans to construct 20 new nuclear
facilities and its development of nuclear technologies, coupled
with acknowledged and unacknowledged ties to terrorist groups,
constitute a threat to global peace and security; and
(3) the national security interests of the United States
will best be served if the United States develops and
implements a long-term strategy to halt all foreign nuclear
cooperation with Iran.
(c) Statement of Congress.--Congress calls upon the leaders of the
governments of the G-8 to--
(1) insist that the Government of Russia terminate all
assistance, including fuel shipments, to the Bushehr nuclear
facility in Iran; and
(2) condition Russia's continued membership in the G-8 on
Russia's termination of all assistance, including fuel
shipments, to the Bushehr facility and to any other nuclear
plants in Iran.

SEC. 1403. LOCATION OF INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN AFRICA.

(a) Statement of Congress.--Congress declares that, for the purpose
of maintaining regional balances with respect to the location of
international organizations and institutions in Africa, such
organizations or institutions, such as the African Development Bank,
that move their headquarters offices from their original locations for
reasons of security should return once those security issues have been
resolved or should relocate to another country in the region in which
the organization or institution was originally headquartered.

authorized to begin consultations with appropriate parties to determine
the feasibility of returning such organizations and institutions to the
regions in which they were originally headquartered.

(1) Turkey is scheduled to begin accession negotiations
with the European Union on October 3, 2005.
(2) In 1993 the European Union defined the membership
criteria for accession to the European Union at the Copenhagen
European Council, obligating candidate countries to have
achieved certain levels of reform, including stability of
institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, and human
rights, and respect for and protection of minorities.
(3) The Government of Turkey refuses to recognize the
Ecumenical Patriarch's international status.

willingness to adopt and uphold European standards for the
protection of human rights;

DISENFRANCHISEMENT OF WOMEN.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Following the May 16, 2005, decision of the Kuwaiti
parliament to enfranchise its female citizens, Saudi Arabia is
now the only country in world that restricts the franchise and
the right to hold elected office to men only.
(2) Only men were allowed to vote and run for office in
Saudi Arabia's municipal elections held earlier this year, the
first elections of any kind that Saudi Arabia has held since

grant women the rights to vote and hold office.

SEC. 1411. ACQUISITION OF MARITIME REFUELING SUPPORT VESSEL FOR UNITED
STATES DRUG INTERDICTION EFFORTS IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC
MARITIME TRANSIT ZONE.

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

SEC. 1412. STATEMENT OF POLICY RELATING TO INTERNATIONAL TAXATION.

(a) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to use the
voice, vote, and influence of the United States to vigorously oppose
any international or global tax that is or may be considered or
promoted by the United Nations, its specialized or affiliated agencies,
its Member States, or United Nations-recognized nongovernmental
organizations.
(b) Efforts.--United States representatives at the United Nations
shall--
(1) use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States
to vigorously oppose any effort by the United Nations or any of
its specialized or affiliated agencies to fund, approve,
advocate, or promote any proposal concerning the imposition of
a tax or fee on any United States person in order to raise
revenue for the United Nations or any such agency; and
(2) declare that a United States person shall not be
subject to any international tax and shall not be required to
pay such tax if such tax is levied against such person.
(c) Exception.--The policy described in subsection (a) shall not
apply to fees for publications or other kinds of fees that are not
tantamount to a tax on a United States person.

Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(1)).

SEC. 1413. DECLARATION OF HEADS OF STATE OF THE SHANGHAI COOPERATION
ORGANIZATION.

(1) The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is made up
of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the People's Republic of China,
Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
(2) al Qaeda and Taliban fighters remain active in
Afghanistan and antiterrorist operations led by the
international coalition are still ongoing.
(3) The Heads of State of the SCO declared that they
supported the Global War on Terrorism and would strengthen

of the Heads of State of the SCO calling for the relevant State
parties of the anti-terrorist coalition to set a deadline for
the temporary use of the infrastructure facilities of the SCO
Member States and for their military presence in these
countries; and
(4) calls on the President, the Secretary of State, and the
Secretary of Defense to open a dialogue with the appropriate
Member States in the SCO concerning the importance of the use
of bases in the SCO Member States and report to Congress on the
outcome of such dialogue.

SEC. 1414. PREVENTION OF SMUGGLING OF METHAMPHETAMINE INTO THE UNITED

Palestinian leadership reject and take verifiable steps to
prevent terrorism.
(b) Statement of Policy.--Congress--
(1) condemns the attacks on United States citizens by
Palestinian terrorists and demands that the Palestinian
Authority work with Israel to protect all innocent individuals,
regardless of citizenship, from terrorist atrocities; and
(2) offers its condolences to the families and loved ones

terrorist attacks.

SEC. 1416. STATEMENT OF POLICY REGARDING TRANSFER OF CHARLES TAYLOR FOR
TRIAL FOR WAR CRIMES.

It shall be the policy of the United States Government to seek the
expeditious transfer of Charles Ghankay Taylor, former President of the
Republic of Liberia, to the jurisdiction of the Special Court for
Sierra Leone to undergo a fair and open trial for war crimes, crimes
against humanity, and other serious violations of international
humanitarian law.

SEC. 1417. UNITED STATES COMMITMENT TO IRAQ.

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

Subtitle B--Sense of Congress Provisions

SEC. 1421. KOREAN FULBRIGHT PROGRAMS.

It is the sense of Congress that Fulbright program activities for
the Republic of Korea (commonly referred to as ``South Korea'')
should--
(1) include participation by students from throughout South
Korea, including proportional representation from areas outside
of Seoul;
(2) attempt to include Korean students from a broad range
of educational institutions, including schools other than elite
universities;
(3) broaden the Korean student emphasis beyond degree-
seeking graduate students to include opportunities for one-year
nondegree study at United States colleges and universities by
pre-doctoral Korean students; and
(4) include a significant number of Korean students
planning to work or practice in areas other than advanced
research and university teaching, such as in government
service, media, law, and business.

SEC. 1422. UNITED STATES RELATIONS WITH TAIWAN.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) it is in the national interests of the United States to
communicate directly with democratically elected and appointed
officials of Taiwan, including the President of Taiwan, the
Vice-President of Taiwan, the Foreign Minister of Taiwan, and
the Defense Minister of Taiwan;
(2) the Department of State should, in accordance with
Public Law 103-416, admit such high level officials of Taiwan
to the United States to discuss issues of mutual concern with
United States officials; and
(3) the Department of State should, in cooperation with the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan, facilitate high level
meetings between such high level officials of Taiwan and their
counterparts in the United States.

SEC. 1423. NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION AND A. Q. KHAN.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, former director of the A.Q. Khan
Research Laboratory in Pakistan and Special Adviser to the
Prime Minister on the Strategic Programme, had the status of a
federal minister and established and operated an illegal
international network which sold nuclear weapons and related
technologies to a variety of countries.
(2) China provided Dr. Khan with nuclear weapons designs,
and the illegal international nuclear proliferation network
established by Dr. Khan may have provided other countries with
these designs.
(3) The illegal international nuclear proliferation network
established by Dr. Khan assisted Iran with its nuclear program
by supplying Iran with uranium-enrichment technology, including
centrifuge equipment and designs.
(4) The illegal international nuclear proliferation network
established by Dr. Khan assisted North Korea with its nuclear
weapons program by providing centrifuge technology, including
designs and complete centrifuges.
(5) The illegal international nuclear proliferation network
established by Dr. Khan assisted Libya with its nuclear program
by providing blueprints of centrifuge parts and thousands of
assembled centrifuge parts.
(6) There is concern that the illegal international nuclear
proliferation network created by Dr. Khan may be still in
existence and its work still on-going.
(7) Defense cooperation and technology transfer between
China and Pakistan have been recently strengthened, including
the codevelopment and manufacturing of a minimum of 400 J-17
``Thunder'' fighter aircraft, with a minimum of 250 going to
China. This and other Chinese-Pakistani technology sharing
provides an expanded basis for further Pakistani proliferation
of advanced military technology.
(8) The illegal international nuclear proliferation network
established by Dr. Khan is a threat to United States national
security.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United
States--
(1) should continue efforts to--
(A) dismantle the illegal international nuclear
proliferation network created by Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan;
and
(B) counter, through diplomacy and negotiation, the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction from
Pakistan to other countries;
(2) should request and Pakistan should grant access to
interview Dr. Khan and his top associates to determine in
greater detail what technology his network provided or received
from Iran, North Korea, Libya, and China; and
(3) should take the steps necessary to ensure that Pakistan
has verifiably halted any cooperation with any country in the
development of nuclear or missile technology, material, or
equipment, or any other technology, material, or equipment that
is useful for the development of weapons of mass destruction,
including exports of such technology, material, or equipment.

SEC. 1424. PALESTINIAN TEXTBOOKS.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Since 1993, the United States has provided more than
$1,400,000,000 to assist the Palestinian people, including to
assist with the process of strengthening the Palestinian
education system.
(2) Since 1950, the United States has provided more than
$3,200,000,000 in assistance to United Nations Relief and Works
Agency (UNRWA), which operates schools in camps housing
Palestinians.
(3) The Palestinian Authority has undertaken a reform of
its textbooks, a process which will be completed in 2006.
(4) These new textbooks, while an improvement over past
texts, fail in many respects to foster attitudes amongst the
Palestinian people conducive to peace with Israel, including
references to the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion,
failure to acknowledge the State of Israel, and failure to
discuss Jews in sections dealing with religious tolerance.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
Secretary of State should express in the strongest possible terms
United States opposition to the inclusion in Palestinian textbooks of
materials which foster anti-Semitism and rejection of peace with
Israel, and to express the unwillingness of the United States to
continue to support educational programs of the Palestinian Authority,
whether directly or indirectly, should the Palestinian Authority
continue to include material which does not foster tolerance and peace.

SEC. 1425. INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION AFFIRMING THE HUMAN RIGHTS AND
DIGNITY OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) There are more than 600,000,000 people who have a
disability and more than two-thirds of all persons with
disabilities live in developing countries.
(2) Only two percent of children with disabilities in
developing countries receive any education or rehabilitation.
(3) A substantial shift has occurred globally from an
approach of charity toward persons with disabilities to the
recognition of the inherent universal human rights of persons
with disabilities.
(4) A clearly defined international standard addressing the
rights of persons with disabilities would assist developing
countries in the creation and implementation of national laws
protecting those rights.
(5) To better protect and promote the rights of persons
with disabilities and to establish international norms, the
United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 56/168
(December 19, 2001) which established an ad hoc committee to
consider proposals for a comprehensive and integral
international convention that affirms the human rights and
dignity of persons with disabilities.
(6) With the strong commitment and leadership of the United
States and the vast domestic experience of the United States in
the advancement of disability rights, the world community can
benefit from United States participation in the drafting of an
international convention that affirms the human rights and
dignity of persons with disabilities.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States should play a leading role in the
drafting of an international convention that affirms the human
rights and dignity of persons with disabilities and which is
consistent with the Constitution of the United States, the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and other rights
enjoyed by United States citizens with disabilities;
(2) for this purpose, the President should authorize the
Secretary of State to send to the Sixth Session of the United
Nations Ad Hoc Committee on a Comprehensive and Integral
International Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the
Rights and Dignity of Persons with Disabilities to be held in
August 2005 and to subsequent sessions of the Ad Hoc Committee
a United States delegation which includes individuals with
disabilities who are recognized leaders in the United States
disability rights movement; and
(3) the United States delegation referred to in paragraph
(2) should seek the input and advice of the Department of
State's Advisory Committee on Persons with Disabilities with
respect to matters considered at the Sixth Session of the
United Nations Ad Hoc Committee and subsequent sessions.

SEC. 1426. FULBRIGHT SCHOLARSHIPS FOR EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) From 1949-2003, the Department of State awarded 13,176
Fulbright Scholarships to students from East Asia and the
Pacific, but only 31 went to Pacific Island students.
(2) In 2003-2004, the Department of State awarded 315
scholarships to students from East Asia and the Pacific, but
none were awarded to Pacific Island students.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
Department of State should conduct a review and submit to the
appropriate congressional committees a report regarding the
marginalization of Pacific Islands students in the awarding of
Fulbright Scholarships.

SEC. 1427. BAKU-TBILISI-CEYHAN ENERGY PIPELINE.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) It has been the long-standing policy of the United
States to support the independence, security, and economic
development of the newly independent states of the Caspian Sea
region.
(2) The growth and stability of the newly independent
states of the Caspian Sea region will be greatly enhanced by
the development of their extensive oil and natural gas
resources and the export of these resources unhindered along an
east-west energy transportation corridor.
(3) The establishment of an east-west energy transportation
corridor would enhance the energy security of the United
States, Turkey, and other United States allies by ensuring an
unhindered flow of energy from the Caspian Sea region to world
markets.
(4) The centerpiece of the proposed east-west energy
transportation corridor is the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC)
pipeline, which was first endorsed by the relevant regional
governments in 1998 and which will carry one million barrels of
Caspian Sea oil per day from Baku, Azerbaijan, to Ceyhan,
Turkey, via a route that passes through Tbilisi, Georgia.
(5) The BTC pipeline was inaugurated on May 25, 2005, and
Caspian Sea oil exports from the port of Ceyhan, Turkey, will
begin later this year.
(6) The BTC pipeline project has received strong bipartisan
support during the administrations of both Presidents Bill
Clinton and George W. Bush.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the governments and peoples of Turkey and the newly
independent states of the Caspian Sea region should be
congratulated for the successful completion of the Baku-
Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline;
(2) the policy of the United States to support the
independence, security, and economic development of the newly
independent states of the Caspian Sea region should be
reaffirmed; and
(3) projects should be encouraged that would further
develop the east-west energy transportation corridor between
the newly independent states of the Caspian Sea region and
Europe and that advance the strategic goals of the United
States, especially the promotion of appropriate multiple routes
for the transportation to world markets of oil and gas from the
Caspian Sea region.

SEC. 1428. LEGISLATION REQUIRING THE FAIR, COMPREHENSIVE, AND
NONDISCRIMINATORY RESTITUTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY
CONFISCATED IN POLAND.

(a) Findings.--Congress find the following:
(1) The protection of and respect for property rights is a
basic tenet for all democratic governments that operate
according to the rule of law.
(2) Private properties were seized and confiscated by the
Nazis in occupied Poland or by the Communist Polish government
after World War II.
(3) Some post-Communist countries in Europe have taken
steps toward compensating individuals whose property was seized
and confiscated by the Nazis during World War II and by
Communist governments after World War II.
(4) Poland has continuously failed to enact legislation
that requires realistically achievable restitution or
compensation for those individuals who had their private
property seized and confiscated.
(5) Although President Aleksander Kwasniewski of Poland
later exercised his veto power, in March 2001 the Polish
Parliament passed a bill that would have provided compensation
for seized and confiscated property, but only to individuals
who were registered as Polish citizens as of December 31, 1999,
thereby excluding all those individuals who emigrated from
Poland during and after World War II.
(6) President Kwasniewski met in 2002 with congressional
leaders of the United States Helsinki Commission and stated
that he intended to draft a new law requiring the restitution
of previously seized and confiscated private property that
would not discriminate based on the residency or citizenship of
an individual, and which would be ready to take effect by the
beginning of 2003.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Poland should develop a final and complete settlement
for those individuals who had their private property seized and
confiscated by the Nazis during World War II or by the
Communist Polish government after the war;
(2) restitution should be made in a timely manner if they
are to be of any benefit to the many Holocaust survivors who
are in their eighties or older; and
(3) the President and the Secretary of State should engage,
as appropriate--
(A) in an open dialogue with the Government of
Poland supporting the adoption of legislation requiring
the fair, comprehensive, and nondiscriminatory
restitution of or compensation for private property
that was seized and confiscated; and
(B) in follow-up discussions with the Government of
Poland regarding the status and implementation of such
legislation.

SEC. 1429. CHILD LABOR PRACTICES IN THE COCOA SECTORS OF COTE D'IVOIRE
AND GHANA.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Government of the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire and the
Government of the Republic of Ghana should be commended for the
tangible steps they have taken to address the situation of
child labor in the cocoa sector;
(2) the Government of Cote d'Ivoire and the Government of
Ghana should consider child labor and forced labor issues top
priorities;
(3) the chocolate industry signatories to the September 19,
2001, voluntary Protocol for the Growing and Processing of
Cocoa Beans and their Derivative Products in a Manner that
Complies with ILO Convention 182 Concerning the Prohibition and
Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of
Child Labor should meet the sixth and final pillar of the
Protocol, to ``develop and implement credible, mutually-
acceptable, voluntary, industry-wide standards of public
certification, consistent with applicable federal law, that
cocoa beans and their derivative products have been grown and/
or processed without any of the worst forms of child labor'' by
July 1, 2005;
(4) the chocolate industry, nongovernmental organizations,
and the Government of Cote d'Ivoire and the Government of Ghana
should continue their efforts in full force beyond July 1,
2005, to develop and implement a system to monitor child labor
in the cocoa industry of Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana;
(5) the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons
of the Department of State should include information on the
association between trafficking in persons and the cocoa
industries of Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, and other cocoa producing
regions in the annual trafficking in persons report to
Congress; and
(6) the Department of State should assist the Government of
Cote d'Ivoire and the Government of Ghana in preventing the
trafficking of persons into the cocoa fields and other
industries in West Africa.

SEC. 1430. CONTRIBUTIONS OF IRAQI KURDS.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Iraqi Kurdish forces played a unique and significant
role in the fight to liberate Iraq for all Iraqis in 2003.
(2) Since Iraq's liberation, Iraqi Kurdish leaders have
played prominent and constructive roles in the drafting and
passage of the Transitional Administrative Law and, more
generally, in seeking to achieve a free, stable, and democratic
Iraq.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Iraqi Kurds should be commended for their many
contributions and sacrifices made in the cause of creating a
free, stable, and democratic Iraq; and
(2) the Iraqi Transitional Government and the Kurdistan
Regional Government are expected to adhere to the highest
standards of democratic governance, including through
enforcement of full equality and rights for all religious and
ethnic minorities, such as Assyrians and Turcomans.

SEC. 1431. PROLIFERATION SECURITY INITIATIVE.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Secretary of State should strive to expand and
strengthen the Proliferation Security Initiative announced on
May 31, 2003, by President George W. Bush, placing particular
emphasis on including countries outside of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO); and
(2) the United States should seek an international
instrument, in the form of a United Nations Security Council
resolution, multilateral treaty, or other agreement, to enhance
international cooperation with the Proliferation Security
Initiative regarding the interdiction, seizure, and impoundment
in international waters and airspace of illicit shipments of
weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems and of
related materials, equipment, and technology.

SEC. 1432. SECURITY OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND MATERIALS.

It is the sense of Congress that the President should seek to
devise and implement standards to improve the security of nuclear
weapons and materials by--
(1) establishing with other willing nations a set of
guidelines containing performance-based standards for the
security of nuclear weapons and materials;
(2) negotiating with those nations agreements to adopt
guidelines containing performance-based standards and implement
appropriate verification measures to assure ongoing compliance;
(3) coordinating with those nations and the International
Atomic Energy Agency to strongly encourage other nations to
adopt and verifiably implement the standards; and
(4) encouraging all nations to work with the International
Atomic Energy Agency to complete the negotiation, adoption, and
implementation of its proposed series of documents related to
the security of nuclear materials.

SEC. 1433. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT AND GENOCIDE IN DARFUR, SUDAN.

Based upon the adoption of resolutions on July 22, 2004, by both
the House of Representatives and the Senate and the declaration on
September 9, 2004, by former Secretary of State Colin Powell that the
atrocities unfolding in Darfur, Sudan, are genocide, it is the sense of
Congress that, notwithstanding the American Servicemembers' Protection
Act of 2002 (title II of the 2002 Supplemental Appropriations Act for
Further Recovery From and Response To Terrorist Attacks on the United
States; Public Law 107-206), the United States should render assistance
to the efforts of the International Criminal Court to bring to justice
persons accused of genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity in
Darfur, Sudan, provided that legally binding assurances have been
received from the United Nations Security Council or the International
Criminal Court that no current or former United States Government
official, employee (including any contractor), member of the United
States Armed Forces, or United States national will be subject to
prosecution by the International Criminal Court in connection with
those efforts.

SEC. 1434. ACTION AGAINST AL-MANAR TELEVISION.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) in 1996, the Secretary of State designated Hizballah as
a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) under section 219 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act;
(2) al-Manar television is owned and controlled by
Hizballah and acts on behalf of Hizballah, as openly
acknowledged by Hizballah leader Hasan Nasrallah;
(3) al-Manar's programming, in accordance with Hizballah's
policy, openly promotes hatred of and graphically glorifies and
incites violence, including suicide bombings, against
Americans, Israelis, and Jews;
(4) in December 2004, the Secretary of State placed al-
Manar on its Terrorist Exclusion List, immediately after which
the sole satellite company that broadcast al-Manar in North
America pulled al-Manar off the air;
(5) in recent months, several European Union (EU) countries
and EU-based satellite companies have taken actions that
severely limit al-Manar's broadcasting reach in Europe; and
(6) al-Manar continues to broadcast to all of the Arab
world, much of non-Arab Asia, most of Central and South
America, and parts of Europe, with the cooperation of companies
headquartered in Europe and the Arab world.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) all countries that host satellite companies that
broadcast al-Manar, on whose territory al-Manar may be viewed
over media subject to government regulation, or where
advertising or other financial support for al-Manar originates,
should take action, by the strongest and most comprehensive
appropriate means available, to suppress al-Manar's terroristic
programming; and
(2) the Arab States Broadcasting Union, which is part of
the Arab League, should revoke al-Manar's membership status
because of al-Manar's promotion of hatred and incitement to
violence, including suicide bombings, directed toward
Americans, Israelis, and Jews.

SEC. 1435. STABILITY AND SECURITY IN IRAQ.

It is the sense of Congress that the President should transmit to
the appropriate congressional committees as soon as possible after the
date of the enactment of this Act the plan to provide for a stable and
secure government of Iraq and an Iraqi military and police force that
will allow the United States military presence in Iraq to be
diminished.

SEC. 1436. PROPERTY EXPROPRIATED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ETHIOPIA.

It is the sense of the Congress that the Government of Ethiopia
should account for, compensate for, or return to United States
citizens, and entities not less than 50 percent beneficially owned by
United States citizens, property of such citizens and entities that has
been nationalized, expropriated, or otherwise seized by the Government
of Ethiopia before the date of the enactment of this Act in
contravention of international law.

SEC. 1437. UNITED STATES-CHINA RELATIONS.

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

SEC. 1438. CAPTURE, DETENTION, AND INTERROGATION OF TERRORISTS AT
GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA.

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