To provide mechanisms for developing and implementing a national energy security strategy for the United States.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Energy Security and Foreign Policy 
Integration Act of 2007''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States Government has historically failed to 
        adequately and systematically consider energy issues in the 
        development of foreign and national security policy.
            (2) Energy issues should be an integral part of the foreign 
        and national security policymaking process and should be taken 
        into consideration at all stages of policy planning and 
        development.
            (3) The United States growing dependence on foreign energy 
        supplies constrains its pursuit of a broad range of foreign 
        policy and national security goals and objectives.
            (4) The United States growing dependence on foreign energy 
        supplies poses increased economic and military vulnerabilities.
            (5) The United States Government is not organized 
        efficiently to manage its dependence on foreign sources of 
        energy, and a restructuring is needed to better ensure the 
        integration of the political, economic, technical, and security 
        aspects of energy policymaking through a formal interagency 
        process.

SEC. 3. NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL REORGANIZATION.

    (a) Amendment.--Section 101(a) of the National Security Act of 1947 
(50 U.S.C. 402(a)) is amended--

            (2) by inserting after paragraph (4) the following:
            ``(5) the Secretary of Energy;''.
    (b) Establishment of a Directorate of Energy.--A Directorate of 
Energy shall be established within the National Security Council which

formulating and coordinating the national energy security policy of the 
United States. The responsibilities of the Directorate of Energy shall 
include--
            (1) directing the development of the national energy 
        security strategy of the United States;
            (2) coordinating an interagency approach to the national 
        energy security policy of the United States with the Department

        the Department of the Treasury, the Central Intelligence 
        Agency, the National Economic Council, and other relevant 
        Federal entities, as appropriate, to address the integration of 
        national security, foreign, and domestic policy on the national 
        energy security policy of the United States;
            (3) coordinating interagency monitoring of international 
        and domestic energy developments to gauge their impact on the 
        national energy security policy of the United States, and 
        implementing changes in such policy as necessary to maintain 
        the national security and energy security of the United States;
            (4) identifying foreign sources of energy critical to the 
        national energy security of the United States and developing 
        strategies in conjunction with the Department of State for 
        ensuring United States access to critical foreign energy 
        resources;
            (5) developing strategies for reducing United States 
        dependence on foreign sources of energy, including demand 
        reduction, efficiency improvement, and development of 
        alternative and new sources of domestic energy;
            (6) developing strategies to reduce energy infrastructure 
        vulnerability to terrorist attacks and natural disasters, both 
        domestic and international, to help guard against supply 
        disruptions;
            (7) developing strategies in conjunction with the 
        Department of State for working with major international 
        producers and consumers, including China, Russia, the European 
        Union, India, Brazil, and Africa, to minimize politicization of 
        global energy resources while ensuring access through global 
        energy markets;
            (8) developing strategies in conjunction with the 
        Department of State, the Department of the Treasury, and other 
        relevant Federal agencies to broaden and enhance the 
        capabilities of the International Energy Agency to ensure open 
        energy markets and updated cooperative agreements among nations 
        regarding development and use of their strategic reserves; and
            (9) developing strategies with industry regarding 
        coordination of industry held reserves of oil and refined
