 TITLE VII--IMPROVING INTELLIGENCE AND INFORMATION SHARING WITH LOCAL 
                  LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRST RESPONDERS

 Subtitle A--Fusion and Law Enforcement Education and Teaming (FLEET) 
                             Grant Program

SEC. 701. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The intelligence component of a State, local, or 
        regional fusion center (in this title referred to generally as 
        ``fusion centers'') focuses on the intelligence process, in 
        which information is collected, integrated, evaluated, 
        analyzed, and disseminated. The Federal Government and 
        nontraditional sources of intelligence information--such as 
        public safety entities at the State, local, and tribal levels, 
        and private sector organizations--all possess valuable 
        information that when ``fused'' with law enforcement data and 
        properly analyzed at fusion centers can provide law enforcement 
        officers with specific and actionable intelligence about 
        terrorist and related criminal activity.
            (2) Participation by local and tribal law enforcement 
        officers and intelligence analysts in fusion centers helps 
        secure the homeland by involving such officers and analysts in 
        the intelligence process on a daily basis, by helping them 
        build professional relationships across every level and 
        discipline of government and the private sector, and by 
        ensuring that intelligence and other information, including 
        threat assessment, public safety, law enforcement, public 
        health, social service, and public works, is shared throughout 
        and among relevant communities. Such local and tribal 
        participation in fusion centers supports the efforts of all law 
        enforcement agencies and departments to anticipate, identify, 
        monitor, and prevent terrorist and related criminal activity.
            (3) Some local and tribal law enforcement agencies and 
        departments, however, lack resources to participate fully in 
        fusion centers.
            (4) Needs-based grant funding will maximize the 
        participation of local and tribal law enforcement agencies and 
        departments in fusion centers by reducing the costs associated 
        with detailing officers and intelligence analysts to fusion 
        centers. Consequently, such grant funding will not only promote 
        the development of more effective, resourceful, and 
        situationally aware fusion centers, but will also advance the 
        cause of homeland security.

            ``(1) Implementation plan.--Not later than 90 days after 
        the date of the enactment of the Implementing the 9/11 
        Commission Recommendations Act of 2007, the Secretary shall 
        develop a Fusion and Law Enforcement Education and Teaming 
        Grant Program (in this section referred to as the `FLEET Grant 
        program') implementation plan and submit to the appropriate 
        congressional committees a copy of such plan. In developing 
        such plan, the Secretary shall consult with the Attorney 
        General, the Bureau of Justice Assistance, and the Office of 
        Community Oriented Policing of the Department of Justice and 
        shall encourage the participation of fusion centers and local 
        and tribal law enforcement agencies and departments in the 
        development of such plan. Such plan shall include--
                    ``(A) a clear articulation of the purposes, goals, 
                and specific objectives for which the program is being 
                developed;
                    ``(B) an identification of program stakeholders and 
                an assessment of their interests in and expectations 
                for the program;
                    ``(C) a developed set of quantitative metrics to 
                measure, to the extent possible, program output; and
                    ``(D) a developed set of qualitative instruments 
                (e.g., surveys and expert interviews) to assess the 
                extent to which stakeholders believe their needs and 
                expectations are being met by the program.
            ``(2) Establishment.--Not later than 180 days after the 
        enactment of the Implementing the 9/11 Commission 
        Recommendations Act of 2007, the Secretary shall implement and 
        carry out a FLEET Grant program under which the Secretary, in 
        consultation with the Attorney General, shall make grants to 
        local and tribal law enforcement agencies and departments 
        specified by the Secretary, in consultation with the Attorney 
        General, for the purposes described in subsection (b). Subject 
        to subsection (g), each such grant shall be made for a two-year 
        period.
    ``(b) Use of Grant Amounts.--
            ``(1) In general.--A grant made to a local or tribal law 
        enforcement agency or department under subsection (a) shall be 
        used to enable such agency or department to detail eligible law 
        enforcement personnel to participate in a fusion center that 
        serves the geographic area in which such agency or department 
        is located, and may be used for the following purposes:
                    ``(A) To hire new personnel, or to pay existing 
                personnel, to perform the duties of eligible law 
                enforcement personnel who are detailed to a fusion 
                center during the absence of such detailed personnel.
                    ``(B) To provide appropriate training, as 
                determined and required by the Secretary, in 
                consultation with the Attorney General, for eligible 
                law enforcement personnel who are detailed to a fusion 
                center.
                    ``(C) To establish communications connectivity 
                between eligible law enforcement personnel who are 
                detailed to a fusion center and the home agency or 
                department of such personnel in accordance with all 
                applicable laws and regulations.
            ``(2) Mandatory privacy and civil liberties training.--All 
        eligible law enforcement personnel detailed to a fusion center 
        under the FLEET Grant Program shall undergo appropriate privacy 
        and civil liberties training that is developed, supported, or 
        sponsored by the Privacy Officer and the Officer for Civil 
        Rights and Civil Liberties in partnership with the Privacy and 
        Civil Liberties Oversight Board.
            ``(3) Limitation.--A local or tribal law enforcement agency 
        or department participating in the FLEET Grant program shall 
        continue to provide a salary and benefits to any eligible law 
        enforcement personnel detailed to a fusion center, in the same 
        amounts and under the same conditions that such agency or 
        department provides a salary and benefits to such personnel 
        when not detailed to a fusion center. None of the funds 
        provided by the FLEET grant program may be used to carry out 
        this paragraph.
            ``(4) Eligible law enforcement personnel defined.--For 
        purposes of this section, the term `eligible law enforcement 
        personnel' means any local or tribal law enforcement officer or 
        intelligence analyst who meets each eligibility requirement 
        specified by the Secretary. Such eligibility requirements shall 
        include a requirement that the officer or analyst has at least 
        two years of experience as a law enforcement officer or 
        intelligence analyst with the local or tribal law enforcement 
        agency or department selected to participate in the FLEET Grant 
        program.
    ``(c) Applications.--
            ``(1) In general.--No grant may be made under subsection 
        (a) unless an application for such grant has been submitted to, 
        and approved by, the Secretary, in consultation with the 
        Attorney General. Such an application shall be submitted in 
        such form, manner, and time, and shall contain such 
        information, as the Secretary, in consultation with the 
        Attorney General, may prescribe by regulation or guidelines.
            ``(2) Joint applications.--A local or tribal law 
        enforcement agency or department may file a joint grant 
        application to detail eligible law enforcement personnel to a 
        fusion center. Such application shall be--
                    ``(A) for a single detailed officer or intelligence 
                analyst, who shall be detailed to work at a fusion 
                center on a full-time basis; or
                    ``(B) in the case of participating local and tribal 
                law enforcement agencies or departments for which a 
                detail arrangement described in subparagraph (A) is 
                likely to result in hardship due to a staffing shortage 
                (as determined by the Secretary, in consultation with 
                the Attorney General), for several eligible law 
                enforcement personnel from multiple local or tribal law 
                enforcement agencies or departments in the same 
                geographic area, who shall be detailed to a fusion 
                center, each on a part-time basis, as part of a shared 
                detail arrangement, as long as--
                            ``(i) any hours worked by a detailed 
                        officer or analyst at a fusion center in a 
                        shared detail arrangement shall be counted 
                        toward the hourly shift obligations of such 
                        officer or analyst at his or her local or 
                        tribal law enforcement agency or department; 
                        and
                            ``(ii) no detailed officer or analyst 
                        working at a fusion center in a shared detail 
                        arrangement shall be required to regularly work 
                        more hours than the officer or analyst would 
                        otherwise work if the officer or analyst was 
                        not participating in the shared detail 
                        arrangement.
    ``(d) Distribution of Grants.--In considering applications for 
grants under subsection (a), the Secretary, in consultation with the 
Attorney General, shall ensure that, to the extent practicable--
            ``(1) entities that receive such grants are representative 
        of a broad cross-section of local and tribal law enforcement 
        agencies and departments;
            ``(2) an appropriate geographic distribution of grants is 
        made among urban, suburban, and rural communities; and
            ``(3) such grants are awarded based on consideration of any 
        assessments of risk by the Department of Homeland Security.
    ``(e) Priority.--The Secretary, in consultation with the Attorney 
General, shall issue regulations regarding the use of a sliding scale 
based on financial need to ensure that a local or tribal law 
enforcement agency or department that is eligible to receive a grant 
under subsection (a) and that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the 
Secretary, in consultation with the Attorney General, that it is in 
financial need (as determined by the Secretary, in consultation with 
the Attorney General) receives priority in receiving funds under this 
section.
    ``(f) Matching Funds.--
            ``(1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), the portion of 
        the costs of a program, project, or activity funded by a grant 
        made to an entity under subsection (a) may not exceed 80 
        percent.
            ``(2) Exception.--The Secretary, in consultation with the 
        Attorney General, may waive, wholly or in part, the requirement 
        under paragraph (1) of a non-Federal contribution to the costs 
        of a program, project, or activity if the entity receiving the 
        grant for such program, project, or activity can demonstrate to 
        the satisfaction of the Secretary, in consultation with the 
        Attorney General, that it would be a hardship for such entity 
        to satisfy such requirement.
    ``(g) Renewal of Grants.--A grant made to a local or tribal law 
enforcement agency or department under subsection (a) may be renewed on 
an annual basis for an additional year after the first two-year period 
during which the entity receives its initial grant, if--
            ``(1) the entity can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the 
        Secretary, in consultation with the Attorney General, 
        significant progress in achieving the objectives of the 
        application for the initial grant involved; and
            ``(2) such renewal would not prevent another local or 
        tribal law enforcement agency or department that has applied 
        for a grant under subsection (a), has not previously received 
        such a grant, and that would otherwise qualify for such a 
        grant, from receiving such a grant, as determined by the 
        Secretary, in consultation with the Attorney General.
    ``(h) Revocation or Suspension of Funding.--If the Secretary, in 
consultation with the Attorney General, determines that a grant 
recipient under this section is not in substantial compliance with the 
terms and requirements of an approved grant application submitted under 
subsection (c), the Secretary, in consultation with the Attorney 
General, may revoke or suspend funding of that grant, in whole or in 
part. In the case of a revocation or suspension of funds under this 
subsection based on a determination of fraud, waste, or abuse, with 
respect to a grant recipient, such grant recipient shall be required to 
refund the grant funds received under subsection (a) that are related 
to such fraud, waste, or abuse, respectively.
    ``(i) Reports.--
            ``(1) Reports to secretary.--Each local or tribal law 
        enforcement agency or department that receives a grant under 
        subsection (a) shall submit to the Secretary and the Attorney 
        General a report for each year such agency or department is a 
        recipient of such grant. Each such report shall include a 
        description and evaluation of each program, project, or 
        activity funded by such grant.
            ``(2) Report to congress.--One year after the date of the 
        implementation of the FLEET grant program, and biannually 
        thereafter, the Secretary, in consultation with the Attorney 
        General, shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
        committees a report describing the implementation and progress 
        of the FLEET Grant Program. Each such report shall include the 
        following:
                    ``(A) A list of the local and tribal law 
                enforcement agencies and departments receiving grants.

                each such agency or department.

                        the law enforcement officers and intelligence 
                        analysts assists the fusion centers in learning 
                        more about criminal or terrorist organizations 
                        operating within their areas of operation,

consultation with the Attorney General, shall create a mechanism for 
State, local, and tribal law enforcement officers and intelligence 
analysts who participate in the FLEET Grant program to fill out an

respect to improving information sharing. The results of these 
voluntary surveys shall be provided electronically to appropriate 
personnel at the Office of Grants and Training of the Department and at

            ``(1) recommend whether Congress should continue to 
        authorize and fund the FLEET Grant program (as authorized under 
        this section or with proposed changes), and provide the 
        reasoning for such recommendation; and

``Sec. 203. FLEET Grant Program.''.

         Subtitle B--Border Intelligence Fusion Center Program

SEC. 711. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States has 216 airports, 143 seaports, and 
        115 official land border crossings that are official ports of 
        entry. Screening all the people and goods coming through these 
        busy ports is an enormous resource challenge for the men and 
        women of the Department of Homeland Security (``Department'') .
            (2) Department personnel, including personnel from the 
        Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') and U.S. 
        Immigration and Customs Enforcement (``ICE''), cannot be 
        everywhere at all times to ensure that terrorists, weapons of 
        mass destruction, and other related contraband are not being 
        smuggled across the border in order to support attacks against 
        the United States.
            (3) State, local, and tribal law enforcement personnel are 
        uniquely situated to help secure the border areas in their 
        respective jurisdictions by serving as ``force multipliers''. 
        To do so, however, law enforcement officers need access to 
        available border intelligence developed by the Department. Such 
        access shall help State, local, and tribal law enforcement 
        personnel deploy their resources most effectively to detect and 
        interdict terrorists, weapons of mass destruction, and related 
        contraband at United States borders.
            (4) The Department has not yet developed a single, easily 
        accessible, and widely available system to consistently share 
        border intelligence and other information with its State, 
        local, and tribal law enforcement partners. It likewise has 
        failed to establish a process by which State, local, and tribal 
        law enforcement personnel can consistently share with the 
        Department information that they obtain that is relevant to 
        border security.
            (5) As a result, State, local, and tribal law enforcement 
        personnel serving jurisdictions along the northern and southern 
        borders typically depend upon personal relationships with CBP 
        and ICE personnel in their respective jurisdictions to get the 
        information they need. While personal relationships have helped 
        in some locales, they have not in others. This has led to an 
        inconsistent sharing of border intelligence from jurisdiction 
        to jurisdiction.
            (6) State, local, and regional fusion centers (``fusion 
        centers'') may help improve this situation.
            (7) In the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 
        2001, numerous State, local, and tribal authorities responsible 
        for the protection of the public and critical infrastructure 
        established fusion centers to help prevent terrorist attacks 
        while at the same time preparing to respond to and recover from 
        a terrorist attack should one occur.
            (8) Most border States have some variation of a fusion 
        center.
            (9) In general, while the Federal Government has helped to 
        establish fusion centers through the Department's grants, a 
        substantial percentage of the financial burden to support 
        ongoing fusion center operations is borne by States and 
        localities.
            (10) The Department, and in particular, the Department's 
        Office of Intelligence and Analysis, has undertaken a program 
        through which it sends such office's personnel to fusion 
        centers to establish a Department presence at those centers. In 
        so doing, the hope is that such personnel will serve as a point 
        of contact for information being shared at fusion centers by 
        State, local, and tribal law enforcement personnel. Personnel 
        at fusion centers hopefully will also act as a channel for 
        information being shared by the Department itself.
            (11) Border State, local, and tribal law enforcement 
        officers anticipate that fusion centers will be a critical 
        source of border intelligence from the Department. While the 
        Department's border intelligence products generated in the 
        District of Columbia and disseminated to fusion centers will 
        undoubtedly be helpful, a far richer source of border 
        intelligence will likely come from CBP and ICE personnel 
        working locally in border jurisdictions themselves.
            (12) Establishing a CBP and ICE presence at border State 
        fusion centers will help ensure the most consistent, timely, 
        and relevant flow of border intelligence to and from the 
        Department and State, local, and tribal law enforcement in 
        border communities. Border State fusion centers thus could 
        serve as a tool to build upon the personal relationships and 
        information sharing that exists in some, but not all, 
        jurisdictions between CBP, ICE, and State, local, and tribal 
        law enforcement.

SEC. 712. ESTABLISHMENT OF BORDER INTELLIGENCE FUSION CENTER PROGRAM.

    (a) In General.--Subtitle A of title II of the Homeland Security 
Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 121 et seq.) is further amended by adding at the 
end the following new section:

``SEC. 204. BORDER INTELLIGENCE FUSION CENTER PROGRAM.

    ``(a) Establishment.--
            ``(1) In general.--There is established in the Department 
        the Border Intelligence Fusion Center Program, to be 
        administered by the Under Secretary for Intelligence and 
        Analysis, for the purpose of stationing Bureau of Customs and 
        Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 
        officers or intelligence analysts in the fusion centers of 
        participating border States.
            ``(2) New hires.--Funding provided under the Border 
        Intelligence Fusion Center Program shall be available to hire 
        new CBP and ICE officers or intelligence analysts to replace 
        CBP and ICE officers or intelligence analysts who are stationed 
        at border State fusion centers under this section.
    ``(b) Participation.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary may develop qualifying 
        criteria for a border state fusion center's participation in 
        the Border Intelligence Fusion Center Program.
            ``(2) Criteria.--Such criteria may include the following:
                    ``(A) Whether the center focuses on a broad 
                counterterrorism and counter-criminal approach, and 
                whether that broad approach is pervasive through all 
                levels of the organization.
                    ``(B) Whether the center has sufficient numbers of 
                adequately trained personnel to support a broad 
                counterterrorism and counter-criminal mission.
                    ``(C) Whether the center has access to relevant law 
                enforcement, private sector, open source, and national 
                security data, as well as the ability to share and 
                analytically exploit such data for actionable ends in 
                accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
                    ``(D) The entity or entities providing financial 
                support for the center's funding.
                    ``(E) Whether the center's leadership is committed 
                to the fusion center's mission, and how the leadership 
                sees the center's role in terrorism prevention, 
                mitigation, response, and recovery.
    ``(c) Assignment.--Wherever possible, not fewer than one CBP 
officer or intelligence analyst and one ICE officer or intelligence 
analyst shall be stationed at each participating border State fusion 
center.
    ``(d) Prerequisite.--
            ``(1) Prior work experience in area.--To be stationed at a 
        border State fusion center under this section, a CBP or ICE 
        officer shall have served as a CBP or ICE officer in the State 
        in which the fusion center where such officer shall be 
        stationed is located for not less than two years before such 
        assignment in order to ensure that such officer is familiar 
        with the geography and people living in border communities, as 
        well as the State, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies 
        serving those communities.
            ``(2) Intelligence analysis, privacy, and civil liberties 
        training.--Before being stationed at a border State fusion 
        center under this section, a CBP or ICE officer shall undergo--
                    ``(A) appropriate intelligence analysis training 
                via an intelligence-led policing curriculum that is 
                consistent with the standards and recommendations of 
                the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan, the 
                Department of Justice and Department Fusion Center 
                Guidelines, title 28, part 23, Code of Federal

            ``(3) Expedited security clearance processing.--The Under 
        Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis shall ensure that 
        security clearance processing is expedited for each CBP and ICE 
        officer or intelligence analyst stationed at border State 
        fusion centers under this section and shall ensure that such 
        officer or analyst has the appropriate clearance to conduct the 
        work of the Border Intelligence Fusion Center Program.
            ``(4) Further qualifications.--Each CBP and ICE officer or 
        intelligence analyst stationed at a border State fusion center 
        under this section shall satisfy any other qualifications the

                center staff, overlay threat and suspicious activity 
                with Federal homeland security information in order to 
                develop a more comprehensive and accurate threat 
                picture. Such CBP and ICE officers and intelligence 
                analysts accordingly shall have as their primary 
                mission the review of border security-relevant 
                information from State, local, and tribal law 
                enforcement sources, and the creation of border 
                intelligence products derived from such information and 
                other border-security relevant information provided by 
                the Department, and the dissemination of such products 
                to border State, local, and tribal law enforcement. CBP 
                and ICE officers or intelligence analysts assigned to 
                border State fusion centers under this section shall 
                also provide such products to the Office of 
                Intelligence and Analysis of the Department for 
                collection and dissemination to other fusion centers in 
                other border States.
                    ``(B) Database access.--In order to fulfill the 
                objectives described in subparagraph (A), CBP and ICE 
                officers and intelligence analysts stationed at border 
                State fusion centers under this section shall have 
                direct access to all relevant databases at their 
                respective agencies.
                    ``(C) Customer satisfaction surveys.--The Secretary 
                shall create a mechanism for State, local, and tribal 
                law enforcement officers who are consumers of the 
                intelligence products described in subparagraph (A) to 
                fill out an electronic customer satisfaction survey 
                whenever they access such a product. The results of 
                these voluntary surveys should be provided 
                electronically to appropriate personnel of the 
                Department. The results of these customer satisfaction 
                surveys should also be included in an appropriate 
                format in the annual status reports described in 
                subsection (h)(2)(A).
            ``(2) Cultivation of relationships.--CBP and ICE officers 
        and intelligence analysts stationed at border State fusion 
        centers under this section shall actively cultivate 
        relationships with State, local, and tribal law enforcement 
        personnel in border communities in order to satisfy the mission 
        described in paragraph (1), and shall make similar outreach to 
        Canadian and Mexican law enforcement authorities serving 
        neighboring communities across the northern and southern 
        borders. CBP and ICE officers and intelligence analysts 
        stationed at border State fusion centers under this section may 
        also serve as a conduit of border intelligence products from 
        the Department itself and shall ensure that such products are 
        provided to all appropriate law enforcement agencies, 
        departments, and offices in border States.
    ``(f) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to require a border State fusion center to participate in the 
Border Intelligence Fusion Center Program.

 TITLE VIII--PROTECTING PRIVACY AND CIVIL LIBERTIES WHILE EFFECTIVELY 
                           FIGHTING TERRORISM

        Subtitle A--Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Boards

SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Protection of Civil Liberties 
Act''.

SEC. 802. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) On July 22, 2004 the National Commission on Terrorist 
        Attacks Upon the United States issued a report that included 41 
        specific recommendations to help prevent future terrorist 
        attacks, including details of a global strategy and government 
        reorganization necessary to implement that strategy.
            (2) One of the recommendations focused on the protections 
        of civil liberties. Specifically the following recommendation 
        was made: ``At this time of increased and consolidated 
        government authority, there should be a board within the 
        executive branch to oversee adherence to the guidelines we 
        recommend and the commitment the government makes to defend our 
        civil liberties.''.
            (3) The report also states that ``the choice between 
        security and liberty is a false choice, as nothing is more 
        likely to endanger America's liberties than the success of a 
        terrorist attack at home. Our History has shown that the 
        insecurity threatens liberty at home. Yet if our liberties are 
        curtailed, we lose the values that we are struggling to 
        defend.''.
            (4) On December 17, 2004, Public Law 108-458, the National 
        Intelligence Reform Act, was signed into law. This law created 
        a civil liberties board that does not have the authority 
        necessary to protect civil liberties.

SEC. 803. MAKING THE PRIVACY AND CIVIL LIBERTIES OVERSIGHT BOARD 
              INDEPENDENT.

    Section 1061(b) of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention 
Act of 2004 (5 U.S.C. 601 note) is amended by striking ``within the 
Executive Office of the President'' and inserting ``as an independent 
agency within the Executive branch''.

SEC. 804. REQUIRING ALL MEMBERS OF THE PRIVACY AND CIVIL LIBERTIES 
              OVERSIGHT BOARD BE CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE.

    Subsection (e) of section 1061 of the Intelligence Reform and 
Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (5 U.S.C. 601 note) is amended to read 
as follows:
    ``(e) Membership.--

        the advice and consent of the Senate, which shall move 
        expeditiously following each nomination.
            ``(2) Qualifications.--Members of the Board shall be 
        selected solely on the basis of their professional

        without regard to political affiliation, but in no event shall 
        more than 3 members of the Board be members of the same 
        political party. The President shall, before appointing an 
        individual who is not a member of the same political party as 
        the President consult with the leadership of that party, if 
        any, in the Senate and House of Representatives.
            ``(3) Incompatible office.--An individual appointed to the 
        Board may not, while serving on the Board, be an elected

            ``(4) Term.--Each member of the Board shall serve a term of

                    ``(B) upon the expiration of the term of office of 
                a member, the member shall continue to serve until the

  TITLE XII--PREVENTING WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION PROLIFERATION AND 
                               TERRORISM

SEC. 1201. FINDINGS.

    (a) Findings of the 9/11 Commission.--Congress finds that the 9/11 
Commission made the following determinations:
            (1) The United States Government has made insufficient 
        progress, and receives a grade ``D'', on efforts to prevent 
        weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation and terrorism.
            (2) The Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program has made 
        significant accomplishments, but much remains to be done to 
        secure weapons-grade nuclear materials. The size of the problem 
        still dwarfs the policy response. Nuclear materials in the 
        former Soviet Union still lack effective security protection, 
        and sites throughout the world contain enough highly-enriched 
        uranium to fashion a nuclear device but lack even basic 
        security features.
            (3) Preventing the proliferation of WMD and acquisition of 
        such weapons by terrorists warrants a maximum effort, by 
        strengthening counter-proliferation efforts, expanding the 
        Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), and supporting the 
        Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program.
            (4) Preventing terrorists from gaining access to WMD must 
        be an urgent national security priority because of the threat 
        such access poses to the American people. The President should 
        develop a comprehensive plan to dramatically accelerate the 
        timetable for securing all nuclear weapons-usable material 
        around the world and request the necessary resources to 
        complete this task. The President should publicly state this 
        goal and ensure its fulfillment.
            (5) Congress should provide the resources needed to secure 
        vulnerable materials as quickly as possible.
    (b) Recommendations of 9/11 Commission.--Congress further finds 
that the 9/11 Commission has made the following recommendations:
            (1) Strengthen ``counter-proliferation'' efforts.--The 
        United States should work with the international community to 
        develop laws and an international legal regime with universal 
        jurisdiction to enable any state in the world to capture, 
        interdict, and prosecute smugglers of nuclear material.
            (2) Expand the proliferation security initiative.--In 
        carrying out the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), the 
        United States should--
                    (A) use intelligence and planning resources of the 
                North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) alliance;
                    (B) make participation open to non-NATO countries; 
                and
                    (C) encourage Russia and the People's Republic of 
                China to participate.
            (3) Support the cooperative threat reduction program.--The 
        United States should expand, improve, increase resources for, 
        and otherwise fully support the Cooperative Threat Reduction 
        (CTR) program.

        and effective performance of United States PSI-related 
        activities.
            (2) Working with the United Nations Security Council to 
        develop a resolution to authorize the PSI under international 
        law.

  Subtitle C--Assistance to Accelerate Programs to Prevent Weapons of 
              Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism

SEC. 1231. FINDINGS; STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress is aware that certain United States threat 
reduction and nonproliferation programs have in past years encountered 
obstacles to timely obligating and executing the full amount of 
appropriated funds, and that certain United States threat reduction and 
nonproliferation programs currently encounter such obstacles and 
therefore maintain unobligated and uncosted balances. Such obstacles 
include lack of effective policy guidance, limits on program scope, 
practical inefficiencies, lack of cooperation with other countries, and 
lack of effective leadership to overcome such obstacles.
    (b) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United 
States, consistent with the 9/11 Commission's recommendations, to 
eliminate the obstacles described in subsection (a) with concrete 
measures, such as those described in this title, to accelerate and 
strengthen progress on preventing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) 
proliferation and terrorism. Such measures described in this title 
include the removal and modification of statutory limits to executing 
funds, the expansion and strengthening of the PSI, the establishment of 
the Office of the United States Coordinator for the Prevention of 
Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism under subtitle 
D, and the establishment of the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons 
of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism under subtitle E. As a 
result, Congress intends that any funds authorized to be appropriated 
to programs for preventing WMD proliferation and terrorism under this 
section will be executed in a timely manner.

        activities.
    (b) Future Years.--It is the sense of Congress that in fiscal year 
2008 and future fiscal years, the President should accelerate and 
expand funding for Cooperative Threat Reduction programs administered 
by the Department of Defense and such efforts should include, beginning 
upon enactment of this Act, encouraging additional commitments by the 
Russian Federation and other partner nations, as recommended by the 9/
11 Commission.

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

SEC. 1321. 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. 1322. 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 1311, including any entity that 
is a parent or subsidiary of the sanctioned foreign person, for the 
duration of the sanctions.

SEC. 1323. COORDINATION.

    The Secretary of State shall coordinate the actions of the United 
States Government under section 1322.

SEC. 1324. 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 1322.

         Subtitle C--Rollback of Nuclear Proliferation Networks

              HOST COUNTRIES.

    (a) Report.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act and annually thereafter, the 
        President shall submit a report to the appropriate 
        congressional committees that--

                brokering, shipment, transshipment, or other activity 
                occurred in connection with the transactions of the 
                nuclear proliferation network that supplied Libya, 
                Iran, North Korea, and possibly other countries or 
                entities; and
                    (B) identifies any country in which manufacturing, 
                brokering, shipment, transshipment, or other activity 
                occurred for the purpose of supplying nuclear 
                technology, equipment, or material to another country 
                or foreign person that could, in the President's 
                judgment, contribute to the development, manufacture, 
                or acquisition, of a nuclear explosive device by a

        TITLE XIV--9/11 COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION

SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.

    This title may be cited as the ``9/11 Commission International 
Implementation Act of 2007''.

Subtitle A--Quality Educational Opportunities in Arab and Predominantly 
                           Muslim Countries.

SEC. 1411. FINDINGS; POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
        Attacks Upon the United States stated that ``[e]ducation that 
        teaches tolerance, the dignity and value of each individual, 
        and respect for different beliefs is a key element in any 
        global strategy to eliminate Islamic terrorism''.
            (2) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
        Attacks Upon the United States concluded that ensuring 
        educational opportunity is essential to the efforts of the 
        United States to defeat global terrorism and recommended that 
        the United States Government ``should offer to join with other 
        nations in generously supporting [spending funds] ... directly 
        on building and operating primary and secondary schools in 
        those Muslim states that commit to sensibly investing financial 
        resources in public education''.
            (3) While Congress endorsed such a program in the 
        Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 
        (Public Law 108-458), such a program has not been established.
    (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) to work toward the goal of dramatically increasing the 
        availability of modern basic education through public schools 
        in Arab and predominantly Muslim countries, which will reduce 
        the influence of radical madrassas and other institutions that 
        promote religious extremism;
            (2) to join with other countries in generously supporting 
        the International Arab and Muslim Youth Opportunity Fund 
        authorized under section 7114 of the Intelligence Reform and 
        Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, as amended by section 1412 of 
        this Act, with the goal of building and operating public 
        primary and secondary schools in Arab and predominantly Muslim 
        countries that commit to sensibly investing the resources of 
        such countries in modern public education;
            (3) to offer additional incentives to increase the 
        availability of modern basic education in Arab and 
        predominantly Muslim countries; and
            (4) to work to prevent financing of educational 
        institutions that support radical Islamic fundamentalism.

SEC. 1412. INTERNATIONAL ARAB AND MUSLIM YOUTH OPPORTUNITY FUND.

    Section 7114 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention 
Act of 2004 (22 U.S.C. 2228) is amended to read as follows:

``SEC. 7114. INTERNATIONAL ARAB AND MUSLIM YOUTH OPPORTUNITY FUND.

    ``(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            ``(1) The United Nation's 2003 Arab Human Development 
        Report states that the quantitative expansion of Arab education 
        remains incomplete. The report asserts that high rates of 
        illiteracy, especially among women, persist. Children continue 
        to be denied their basic right to elementary education. Higher 
        education is characterized by decreasing enrollment rates 
        compared to developed countries, and public expenditures on 
        education has declined since 1985.
            ``(2) The UN report cities the decline in quality as the 
        most significant challenge in the educational arena in Arab 
        countries.
            ``(3) Researchers argue that curricula taught in Arab 
        countries seem to encourage submission, obedience, 
        subordination, and compliance, rather than free critical 
        thinking.
            ``(4) Despite major efforts to improve pre-school education 
        in some Arab countries, the quality of education provided in 
        kindergartens in the region does not fulfill the requirements 
        for advancing and developing children's capabilities in order 
        to help socialize a creative and innovative generation.
            ``(5) Many factors in Arab countries adversely affect 
        teachers' capabilities, such as low salaries (which force 
        educators in to take on other jobs that consume their energy 
        and decrease the time they can devote to caring for their 
        students), lack of facilities, poorly designed curricula, 
        indifferent quality of teacher training, and overcrowded 
        classes.
            ``(6) Educational attainments in Arab and non-Arab Muslim 
        countries--from literacy rates to mathematical and science 
        achievements--are well below global standards.
            ``(7) It is estimated that there are 65,000,000 illiterate 
        adult Arabs, and two-thirds of them are women.
            ``(8) Educational enrollment for Arab countries rose from 
        31,000,000 children in 1980 to approximately 56,000,000 
        children in 1995. Yet despite this increase, 10,000,000 
        children between the ages of 6 and 15 are currently not in 
        school.
            ``(9) In the Middle East, roughly 10,000,000 children still 
        do not go to school.
            ``(10) Even though women's access to education has tripled 
        in Arab countries since 1970, gender disparities still persist. 
        Illiteracy in Arab countries affects women disproportionately. 
        Women make up two-thirds of illiterate adults, with most living 
        in rural areas.
            ``(11) The publication of books and other reading materials 
        in Arab countries faces many major challenges, including the 
        small number of readers due to high rates of illiteracy in some 
        such countries and the weak purchasing power of the Arab 
        reader. The limited readership in Arab countries is reflected 
        in the small number of books published in such countries, which 
        does not exceed 1.1 percent of world production, although Arabs 
        constitute five percent of the world population.
            ``(12) The nexus between health and education in Arab 
        countries is very strong. Gains in women's education accounted 
        for an estimated 43 percent reduction in child malnutrition 
        between 1970 and 1995. Educated mothers are more likely to 
        better space births, to have adequate prenatal care, and to 
        immunize their children.
            ``(13) Many educational systems in Arab and non-Arab Muslim 
        countries widen the gap between rich and poor: while rich 
        students attend excellent private schools, poor children 
        receive grossly inadequate schooling.
    ``(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to strengthen the 
public educational systems in Arab and predominantly Muslim countries 
by--
            ``(1) authorizing the establishment of an International 
        Arab and Muslim Youth Educational Fund through which the United 
        States dedicates resources, either through a separate fund or 
        through an international organization, to assist those 
        countries that commit to education reform; and
            ``(2) providing resources for the Fund to help strengthen 
        the public educational systems in those countries.
    ``(c) Establishment of Fund.--
            ``(1) Authority.--The President is authorized to establish 
        an International Arab and Muslim Youth Opportunity Fund.
            ``(2) Location.--The Fund may be established--
                    ``(A) as a separate fund in the Treasury; or
                    ``(B) through an international organization or 
                international financial institution, such as the United 
                Nations Educational, Science and Cultural Organization, 
                the United Nations Development Program, or the 
                International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
            ``(3) Transfers and receipts.--The head of any department, 
        agency, or instrumentality of the United States Government may 
        transfer any amount to the Fund, and the Fund may receive funds 
        from private enterprises, foreign countries, or other entities.
            ``(4) Activities of the fund.--The Fund shall support 
        programs described in this paragraph to improve the education 
        environment in Arab and predominantly Muslim countries.
                    ``(A) Assistance to enhance modern educational 
                programs.--

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Section 7113 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism

        establishment of a pilot program to provide grants to American-
        sponsored schools in Arab and predominantly Muslim countries so 
        that such schools could provide scholarships to young people 
        from lower-income and middle-income families in such countries 
        to attend such schools, where they could improve their English 
        and be exposed to a modern education.
            (2) Since the date of the enactment of that section, the

SEC. 1421. PROMOTING DEMOCRACY AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST, 
              CENTRAL ASIA, SOUTH ASIA, AND SOUTHEAST ASIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Al-Qaeda and affiliated groups have established a 
        terrorist network with linkages throughout the Middle East, 
        Central Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
            (2) While political repression and lack of economic 
        development do not justify terrorism, increased political 
        freedoms, poverty reduction, and broad-based economic growth 
        can contribute to an environment that undercuts tendencies and 
        conditions that facilitate the rise of terrorist organizations.
            (3) It is in the national security interests of the United 
        States to promote democracy, the rule of law, good governance, 
        sustainable development, a vigorous civil society, political 
        freedom, protection of minorities, independent media, women's 
        rights, private sector growth, and open economic systems in the 
        countries of the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, and 
        Southeast Asia.
    (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to--
            (1) promote over the long-term, seizing opportunities 
        whenever possible in the short term, democracy, the rule of 
        law, good governance, sustainable development, a vigorous civil 
        society, political freedom, protection of minorities, 
        independent media, women's rights, private sector growth, and 
        open economic systems in the countries of the Middle East, 
        Central Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia;
            (2) provide assistance and resources to individuals and 
        organizations in the countries of the Middle East, Central

          Subtitle C--Restoring United States Moral Leadership

SEC. 1431. ADVANCING UNITED STATES INTERESTS THROUGH PUBLIC DIPLOMACY.

    (a) Finding.--Congress finds that the report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States stated that, 
``Recognizing that Arab and Muslim audiences rely on satellite 
television and radio, the government has begun some promising 
initiatives in television and radio broadcasting to the Arab world, 
Iran, and Afghanistan. These efforts are beginning to reach large 
audiences. The Broadcasting Board of Governors has asked for much 
larger resources. It should get them.''.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) The United States needs to improve its communication of 
        information and ideas to people in foreign countries, 
        particularly in countries with significant Muslim populations.
            (2) Public diplomacy should reaffirm the paramount 
        commitment of the United States to democratic principles, 
        including preserving the civil liberties of all the people of 
        the United States, including Muslim-Americans.
            (3) A significant expansion of United States international 
        broadcasting would provide a cost-effective means of improving 
        communication with countries with significant Muslim 
        populations by providing news, information, and analysis, as 
        well as cultural programming, through both radio and television 
        broadcasts.

SEC. 1433. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD DETAINEES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the 
        United States (commonly referred to as the ``9/11 Commission'') 
        declared that the United States ``should work with friends to 
        develop mutually agreed-on principles for the detention and 
        humane treatment of captured international terrorists who are 
        not being held under a particular country's criminal laws'' and 
        recommended that the United States engage our allies ``to 
        develop a common coalition approach toward the detention and 
        humane treatment of captured terrorists'', drawing from Common 
        Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions.
            (2) Congress has passed several provisions of law that have 
        changed United States standards relating to United States 
        detainees, but such provisions have not been part of a common 
        coalition approach in this regard.
            (3) A number of investigations remain ongoing by countries 
        who are close United States allies in the war on terrorism 
        regarding the conduct of officials, employees, and agents of 
        the United States and of other countries related to conduct 
        regarding detainees.
    (b) Report; Certification.--Not later than 90 days after the date

humane treatment of individuals detained during Operation Iraqi 
Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, or in connection with United 
States counterterrorist operations. Such report shall include--
            (1) a certification by the Secretary of State that such 
        recommendations have been implemented and such policy goals 
        have been achieved; or

        certification described in paragraph (1), a description of--
                    (A) the steps taken to implement such 
                recommendations and achieve such policy goals;
                    (B) when the Secretary of State expects such

the United States:
            (1) The United States shall vigorously support the 
        Government of Afghanistan as it continues on its path toward a 
        broad-based, pluralistic, multi-ethnic, gender-sensitive, and 
        fully representative government in Afghanistan and shall 
        maintain its long-term commitment to the people of Afghanistan 
        by increased assistance and the continued deployment of United 
        States troops in Afghanistan as long as the Government of 
        Afghanistan supports such United States involvement.
            (2) In order to reduce the ability of the Taliban and Al-
        Qaeda to finance their operations through the opium trade, the 
        President shall engage aggressively with the Government of 
        Afghanistan and our NATO partners, and in consultation with 
        Congress, to assess the success of the Afghan counternarcotics 
        strategy in existence as of December 2006 and to explore all 
        additional options for addressing the narcotics crisis in 
        Afghanistan, including possible changes in rules of engagement 
        for NATO and Coalition forces for participation in actions 
        against narcotics trafficking and kingpins.
    (b) Statement of Congress.--Congress strongly urges that the 
Afghanistan Freedom Support Act of 2002 be reauthorized and updated to 
take into account new developments in Afghanistan and in the region so 
as to demonstrate the continued support by the United States for the 
people and Government of Afghanistan.
    (c) Emergency Increase in Policing Operations.--
            (1) In general.--The President shall make every effort, on 
        an emergency basis, to dramatically increase the numbers of 
        United States and international police trainers, mentors, and 
        police personnel operating in conjunction with Afghanistan 
        civil security forces and shall increase efforts to assist the

        that is threatening to undermine Afghanistan's future.
            (2) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the

        subsection.
    (d) Emergency Energy Assistance.--
            (1) Finding.--Congress finds that short-term shortages of 
        energy may destabilize the Government of Afghanistan and 
        undermine the ability of President Karzai to carry out 
        critically needed reforms.
            (2) Authorization of assistance.--The President is 
        authorized to provide assistance for the acquisition of

        the delivery of electricity to Kabul, Afghanistan, and other 
        major Afghan provinces and cities.
            (3) Authorization of appropriations.--There are authorized 
        to be appropriated to the President to carry out paragraph (2)

        international terrorism in the frontier provinces of Pakistan.
            (2) There remain a number of critical issues that threaten 
        to disrupt the relationship between the United States and 
        Pakistan, undermine international security, and destabilize 
        Pakistan, including--
                    (A) curbing the proliferation of nuclear weapons 
                technology;
                    (B) combating poverty and corruption;
                    (C) building effective government institutions, 
                especially secular public schools;
                    (D) promoting democracy and the rule of law, 
                particularly at the national level;
                    (E) addressing the continued presence of Taliban 
                and other violent extremist forces throughout the 
                country;
                    (F) maintaining the authority of the Government of

        forces associated with the Taliban.
            (2) To establish a long-term strategic partnership with the

                seq.) or section 23 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 
                U.S.C. 2763) may not be provided to, and a license for

                (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.) may not be approved for, 
                Pakistan until 15 days after the date on which 
                President determines and certifies to the appropriate 
                congressional committees that the Government of 
                Pakistan is making all possible efforts to prevent the 
                Taliban from operating in areas under its sovereign 
                control, including in the cities of Quetta and Chaman 
                and in the Northwest Frontier Province and the 
                Federally Administered Tribal Areas.

        security interest of the United States to do so.
            (3) Sunset.--The limitation on assistance under paragraph 
        (1) shall cease to be effective beginning on the date on which 
        the President determines and certifies to the appropriate

        successor organization, has ceased to exist as an organization

SEC. 1443. SAUDI ARABIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has an uneven record in the 
        fight against terrorism, especially with respect to terrorist 
        financing, support for radical madrassas, and a lack of 
        political outlets for its citizens, that poses a threat to the 
        security of the United States, the international community, and 
        the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia itself.
            (2) The United States has a national security interest in

        operate outside Saudi Arabia with the support of citizens of 
        Saudi Arabia.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, in order 
to more effectively combat terrorism, the Government of Saudi Arabia 
must undertake and continue a number of political and economic reforms, 
including increasing anti-terrorism operations conducted by law 
enforcement agencies, providing more political rights to its citizens, 
increasing the rights of women, engaging in comprehensive educational 
reform, enhancing monitoring of charitable organizations, promulgating 
and enforcing domestic laws, and regulation on terrorist financing.
    (c) Statements of Policy.--The following shall be the policies of 
the United States:
            (1) To engage with the Government of Saudi Arabia to openly 
        confront the issue of terrorism, as well as other problematic 
        issues, such as the lack of political freedoms, with the goal 
        of restructuring the relationship on terms that leaders of both 
        countries can publicly support.
            (2) To enhance counterterrorism cooperation with the 
        Government of Saudi Arabia, if the political leaders of such 
        government are committed to making a serious, sustained effort 
        to combat terrorism.
            (3) To support the efforts of the Government of Saudi 
        Arabia to make political, economic, and social reforms 
        throughout the country.
    (d) Strategy Relating to Saudi Arabia.--
            (1) Requirement for report on strategy.--Not later than 90 
        days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the President

        progress on the Strategic Dialogue (established by President 
        George W. Bush and Crown Prince (now King) Abdullah in April 
        2005) between the United States and Saudi Arabia, including the 
        progress made in such Dialogue toward implementing the long-
        term strategy of the United States to--
