Making emergency supplemental appropriations for the Department of
Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for other
purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the following sums
are appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for
other purposes, namely:
TITLE I--POLICY ON REDEPLOYMENT AND CONDUCT OF OPERATIONS IN IRAQ
Sec. 101. It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the war in Iraq should end as safely and quickly as
possible and our troops should be brought home;
(2) the performance of United States military personnel in
Iraq and Afghanistan should be commended, their courage and
sacrifice have been exceptional, and when they come home, their
service should be recognized appropriately; and
(3) the primary purpose of funds made available by this Act
should be to transition the mission of United States Armed
Forces in Iraq and undertake their redeployment, and not to
extend or prolong the war.
Sec. 102. (a) No person in the custody or under the effective
control of the United States Government shall be subject to any
treatment or technique of interrogation not authorized by and listed in
the United States Army Field Manual FM2-22.3 Human Intelligence
Collector Operations.
(b) Subsection (a) shall not apply with respect to any person in
the custody or under the effective control of the United States
Government pursuant to a criminal law or immigration law of the United
States. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the rights
under the United States Constitution of any person in the custody or
under the physical jurisdiction of the United States.
Sec. 103. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used
in contravention of the following laws enacted or regulations
promulgated to implement the United Nations Convention Against Torture
and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (done at
New York on December 10, 1984)--
(1) section 2340A of title 18, United States Code;
(2) section 2242 of the Foreign Affairs Reform and
Restructuring Act of 1998 (division G of Public Law 105-277;
112 Stat. 2681-822; 8 U.S.C. 1231 note) and regulations

Law 109-148).
Sec. 104. (a) The Congress finds that United States military units
should not enter into combat unless they are fully capable of
performing their assigned mission. The Congress further finds that this
is the policy of the Department of Defense.
(b) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by
this Act may be used to deploy any unit of the Armed Forces to Iraq
unless the President has certified in writing to the Committees on
Appropriations and the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives at least 15 days in advance of the
deployment that the unit is ``fully mission capable''.
(c) For the purposes of subsection (b) the term ``fully mission
capable'' means capable of performing a unit's assigned mission to the
prescribed standards under the conditions expected in the theater of
operation, consistent with the guidelines set forth in the Department
of Defense's Defense Readiness Reporting System.
(d) The President, by certifying in writing to the Committees on
Appropriations and the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives that the deployment to Iraq of a unit that
is not assessed fully mission capable is required for reasons of
national security and by submitting along with a certification a report
in classified and unclassified form detailing the particular reason or
reasons why the unit's deployment is necessary, may waive the
limitations prescribed in subsection (b) on a unit-by-unit basis.
Sec. 105. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, funds
appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act are available
immediately for obligation to plan and execute a safe and orderly
redeployment of United States Armed Forces from Iraq.
(b) Within 30 days after enactment of this Act, the President shall
commence an immediate and orderly redeployment of United States Armed
Forces from Iraq, which shall be implemented as part of the
comprehensive regional stability plan described in subsection (g). The
President shall endeavor to begin such redeployment with units of the
Armed Forces that have been deployed in excess of 365 days, except to
the extent those units are needed to provide for the safe withdrawal of
other units of the Armed Forces or to protect United States and
Coalition personnel and infrastructure.
(c) The reduction in United States Armed Forces required by this
section shall be implemented in conjunction with a comprehensive
diplomatic, political and economic strategy that includes sustained
engagement with Iraq's neighbors and the international community for
the purpose of working collectively to bring stability to Iraq.
(d) The goal for the completion of the transition of United States
Armed Forces to a limited presence and missions as described in
subsection (e) shall be a date that is not later than December 15,
2008.
(e) After the conclusion of the reduction and transition of United
States Armed Forces to a limited presence as required by this section,
the Secretary of Defense may deploy or maintain members of the Armed
Forces in Iraq only for the following missions:

States Armed Forces, and American citizens.
(2) Conducting limited training, equipping, and providing
logistical and intelligence support to the Iraqi Security
forces.
(3) Engaging in targeted counterterrorism operations
against al-Qaeda, al-Qaeda affiliated groups, and other
terrorist organizations in Iraq.
(f) Not later than February 1, 2008, and every 90 days thereafter,
the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense
committees a report setting forth the following:
(1) The current plan for and the status of the reduction of
United States Armed Forces in Iraq and the transition of the
Armed Forces in Iraq to a limited presence whose missions do
not exceed the missions specified in subsection (e), including
the associated force reductions and adjustments and
expectations with respect to timelines and the force levels
anticipated to perform those missions.
(2) A comprehensive current description of efforts to
prepare for the reduction and transition of United States Armed
Forces in Iraq in accordance with this section and to limit any
destabilizing consequences of such reduction and transition,
including a description of efforts to work with the United
Nations and countries in the region toward that objective.
(g) Not later than February 15, 2008, the President shall submit to
the Congress in classified and unclassified form a comprehensive
regional stability plan for the Middle East, which shall include a
military, diplomatic, political and economic strategy that provides for
the national security interests of the United States in the region and
for the engagement of targeted counterterrorism operations. The plan
shall include a detailed description of the projected United States
military force presence in and around the Middle East region for the 5-
year period beginning on October 1, 2008.
Sec. 106. The amounts appropriated by this Act are sufficient to
