 TITLE I--ECONOMIC AND DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FOR AFGHANISTAN

SEC. 101. DECLARATION OF POLICY. <<NOTE: 22 USC 7511.>> 

    Congress makes the following declarations:
            (1) The United States and the international community should 
        support efforts that advance the development of democratic civil 
        authorities and institutions in Afghanistan and the 
        establishment of a new broad-based, multi-ethnic, gender-
        sensitive, and fully representative government in Afghanistan.
            (2) The United States, in particular, should provide its 
        expertise to meet immediate humanitarian and refugee needs, 
        fight the production and flow of illicit narcotics, and aid in 
        the reconstruction of Afghanistan.
            (3) By promoting peace and security in Afghanistan and 
        preventing a return to conflict, the United States and the 
        international community can help ensure that Afghanistan does 
        not again become a source for international terrorism.
            (4) The United States should support the objectives agreed 
        to on December 5, 2001, in Bonn, Germany, regarding the 
        provisional arrangement for Afghanistan as it moves toward the 
        establishment of permanent institutions and, in particular, 
        should work intensively toward ensuring the future neutrality of 
        Afghanistan, establishing the principle that neighboring 
        countries and other countries in the region do not threaten or 
        interfere in one another's sovereignty, territorial integrity, 
        or political independence, including supporting diplomatic 
        initiatives to support this goal.
            (5) The special emergency situation in Afghanistan, which 
        from the perspective of the American people combines security, 
        humanitarian, political, law enforcement, and development 
        imperatives, requires that the President should receive maximum 
        flexibility in designing, coordinating, and administering 
        efforts with respect to assistance for Afghanistan and that a 
        temporary special program of such assistance should be 
        established for this purpose.
            (6) To foster stability and democratization and to 
        effectively eliminate the causes of terrorism, the United States 
        and the international community should also support efforts that 
        advance the development of democratic civil authorities and 
        institutions in the broader Central Asia region.

SEC. 102. PURPOSES OF ASSISTANCE. <<NOTE: 22 USC 7512.>> 

    The purposes of assistance authorized by this title are--
            (1) to help assure the security of the United States and the 
        world by reducing or eliminating the likelihood of violence 
        against United States or allied forces in Afghanistan and to 
        reduce the chance that Afghanistan will again be a source of 
        international terrorism;
            (2) to support the continued efforts of the United States 
        and the international community to address the humanitarian 
        crisis in Afghanistan and among Afghan refugees in neighboring 
        countries;

        and related activities;
            (4) to help achieve a broad-based, multi-ethnic, gender-
        sensitive, and fully representative government in Afghanistan 
        that is freely chosen by the people of Afghanistan and that 
        respects the human rights of all Afghans, particularly women,

        society;
            (5) to support the Government of Afghanistan in its 
        development of the capacity to facilitate, organize, develop, 
        and implement projects and activities that meet the needs of the 
        Afghan people;
            (6) to foster the participation of civil society in the 
        establishment of the new Afghan government in order to achieve a 
        broad-based, multi-ethnic, gender-sensitive, fully 
        representative government freely chosen by the Afghan people, 
        without prejudice to any decisions which may be freely taken by 
        the Afghan people about the precise form in which their 
        government is to be organized in the future;

            (2) redistribute any United States bilateral assistance (and 
        to promote the redistribution of any multilateral assistance) 
        withheld from an opium-producing area to other areas with 
        respect to which assistance has not been withheld as a

TITLE II--MILITARY ASSISTANCE FOR AFGHANISTAN AND CERTAIN OTHER FOREIGN

                        HUMANITARIAN AND OTHER ASSISTANCE IN 
                        AFGHANISTAN AND EXPANSION OF THE 
                        INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ASSISTANCE FORCE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The President has declared his view that the United 
        States should provide significant assistance to Afghanistan so 
        that it is no longer a haven for terrorism.
            (2) The delivery of humanitarian and reconstruction 
        assistance from the international community is necessary for the 
        safe return of refugees and is critical to the future stability 
        of Afghanistan.
            (3) Enhanced stability in Afghanistan through an improved 
        security environment is critical to the functioning of the 
        Government of Afghanistan and the traditional Afghan assembly or 
        ``Loya Jirga'' process, which is intended to lead to a permanent

[[Page 116 STAT. 2809]]

        national government in Afghanistan, and also is essential for 
        the participation of women in Afghan society.
            (4) Incidents of violence between armed factions and local 
        and regional commanders, and serious abuses of human rights, 
        including attacks on women and ethnic minorities throughout 
        Afghanistan, create an insecure, volatile, and unsafe 
        environment in parts of Afghanistan, displacing thousands of 
        Afghan civilians from their local communities.
            (5)(A) On July 6, Vice President Haji Abdul Qadir was 
        assassinated in Kabul by unknown assailants.
            (B) On September 5, 2002, a car bomb exploded in Kabul 
        killing 32 and injuring 150 and on the same day a member of 
        Kandahar Governor Sherzai's security team attempted to 
        assassinate President Karzai.
            (6) The violence and lawlessness may jeopardize the ``Loya 
        Jirga'' process, undermine efforts to build a strong central 
        government, severely impede reconstruction and the delivery of 
        humanitarian assistance, and increase the likelihood that parts 
        of Afghanistan will once again become safe havens for al-Qaida, 
        Taliban forces, and drug traffickers.
            (7) The lack of security and lawlessness may also perpetuate 
        the need for United States Armed Forces in Afghanistan and 
        threaten the ability of the United States to meet its military 
        objectives.
            (8) The International Security Assistance Force in 
        Afghanistan, currently led by Turkey, and composed of forces 
        from other willing countries without the participation of United 
        States Armed Forces, is deployed only in Kabul and currently 
        does not have the mandate or the capacity to provide security to 
        other parts of Afghanistan.
            (9) Due to the ongoing military campaign in Afghanistan, the 
        United States does not contribute troops to the International 
        Security Assistance Force but has provided support to other 
        countries that are doing so.
            (10) The United States is providing political, financial, 
        training, and other assistance to the Afghan Interim Authority 
        as it begins to build a national army and police force to help 
        provide security throughout Afghanistan, but this effort is not 
        meeting the immediate security needs of Afghanistan.
            (11) Because of these immediate security needs, the 
        Government of Afghanistan, its President, Hamid Karzai, and many 
        Afghan regional leaders have called for the International

                        PROCEDURES RELATING TO THE PROHIBITION ON 
                        ASSISTANCE TO DRUG TRAFFICKERS.

    Assistance provided under this Act shall be subject to the same 
provisions as are applicable to assistance under the Foreign Assistance 
Act of 1961 and the Arms Export Control Act under section 487 of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (relating to the prohibition on

SEC. 302. SENSE <<NOTE: 22 USC 7552.>>  OF CONGRESS REGARDING 
                        PROTECTING AFGHANISTAN'S PRESIDENT.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) any United States physical protection force provided for 
        the personal security of the President of Afghanistan should be 
        composed of United States diplomatic security, law-enforcement, 
        or military personnel, and should not utilize private contracted 
        personnel to provide actual physical protection services;
            (2) United States allies should be invited to volunteer 
        active-duty military or law enforcement personnel to participate 
        in such a protection force; and
            (3) such a protection force should be limited in duration 
        and should be succeeded by qualified Afghan security forces as 
        soon as practicable.

SEC. 303. <<NOTE: 22 USC 7553.>>  DONOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO AFGHANISTAN AND 
            REPORTS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that inadequate amounts of 
international assistance promised by donor states at the Tokyo donors 
conference and elsewhere have been delivered to Afghanistan, imperiling 
the rebuilding and development of civil society and infrastructure, and 
endangering peace and security in that war-torn country.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United 
States should use all appropriate diplomatic means to encourage all 
states that have pledged assistance to Afghanistan to deliver as soon as 
possible the total amount of assistance pledged.
    (c) Reports.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of State shall submit reports 
        to the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on 
        Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on International 
        Relations and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of 
        Representatives, in accordance with this paragraph, on the 
        status of contributions of assistance from donor states to 
        Afghanistan. <<NOTE: Deadlines.>>  The first report shall be 
        submitted not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
        this Act, the second report shall be submitted 90 days 
        thereafter, and subsequent reports shall be submitted every 180 
        days thereafter through December 31, 2004.

[[Page 116 STAT. 2813]]

            (2) Further requirements.--Each report, which shall be 
        unclassified and posted upon the Department of State's Internet 
        website, shall include, by donor country, the total amount 
        pledged, the amount delivered within the previous 60 days, the 
        total amount of assistance delivered, the type of assistance and
