described under subparagraph (A).''.

              ELIMINATING SAFE HAVENS FOR VIOLENT EXTREMISTS IN 
              PAKISTAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Since September 11, 2001, the Government of Pakistan 
        has been an important partner in helping the United States 
        remove the Taliban regime from Afghanistan.
            (2) In early September 2006, the Government of Pakistan 
        signed a peace agreement with pro-Taliban militants in 
        Miramshah, North Waziristan, Pakistan. Under the agreement, 
        local tribesmen in North Waziristan agreed to halt cross-border 
        movement of pro-Taliban insurgents from the North Waziristan 
        area to Afghanistan and to remove all foreigners who do not 
        respect the peace and abide by the agreement.
            (3) In late September 2006, United States military 
        officials in Kabul, Afghanistan, reported two-fold, and in 
        cases three-fold, increases in the number of cross-border 
        attacks along the Afghanistan border with Pakistan in the weeks 
        following the signing of the agreement referred to in paragraph 
        (2).
            (4) On February 13, 2007, Lieutenant General Karl W. 
        Eikenberry, the former commanding general of Combined Forces 
        Command--Afghanistan, stated in a written statement to the 
        Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives 
        that ``Al Qaeda and Taliban leadership presence inside Pakistan 
        remains a significant problem that must be satisfactorily 
        addressed if we are to prevail in Afghanistan and if we are to 
        defeat the global threat posed by international terrorism''.
            (5) On February 27, 2007, John McConnell, the Director of 
        National Intelligence, stated in a written statement to the 
        Committee on Armed Services of the Senate that ``[e]liminating 
        the safehaven that the Taliban and other extremists have found 
        in Pakistan's tribal areas is not sufficient to end the 
        insurgency in Afghanistan but it is necessary''.
    (b) Strategy Relating to Pakistan.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to the

                and other violent extremist forces across the border of 
                Pakistan into Afghanistan; and
                    (B) to eliminate safe havens for such forces on the 
                national territory of Pakistan.
            (2) Form.--The report shall be submitted in unclassified 
        form, but may include a classified annex.
    (c) Limitation on Availability of Department of Defense Coalition 
Support Funds for Pakistan.--
            (1) Limitation.--For fiscal years 2008 and 2009, the 
        Government of Pakistan may not be reimbursed in any fiscal year 
        quarter for the provision to the United States of logistical, 
        military, or other support utilizing funds appropriated or 
        otherwise made available by an Act making supplemental 
        appropriations for fiscal year 2007 for operations in Iraq and 
        Afghanistan, or any other Act, for the purpose of making 
        payments to reimburse key cooperating nations for the provision 
        to the United States of such support unless the President 
        certifies to the congressional defense committees for such 
        fiscal year quarter that the Government of Pakistan is making 
        substantial and sustained efforts to eliminate safe havens for 
        the Taliban, Al Qaeda and other violent extremists 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.
            (2) Content of certification.--Each certification submitted 
        under paragraph (1) shall include a detailed description of the 
        efforts made by the Government of Pakistan to eliminate safe 
        havens for the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and other violent extremists 
        in areas under its sovereign control.
            (3) Form.--Each certification submitted under paragraph (1) 
        shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may include a 
        classified annex.
            (4) Waiver.--The President may waive the limitation on 
        reimbursements under paragraph (1) for a fiscal year quarter if 
        the President determines and certifies to the congressional 
        defense committees that it is important to the national 
        security interest of the United States to do so.

        Convention, the United States requested and received a one-
        time, 5-year extension of its chemical weapons destruction 
        deadline to April 29, 2012.
            (3) On April 10, 2006, the Secretary of Defense notified 
        Congress that the United States would not meet even the 
        extended deadline under the Chemical Weapons Convention for 
        destruction of the United States chemical weapons stockpile, 
        but would ``continue working diligently to minimize the time to 
        complete destruction without sacrificing safety and security'' 
        and would also ``continue requesting resources needed to 
        complete destruction as close to April 2012 as practicable''.
            (4) Destroying the remaining stockpile of United States 
        chemical weapons is imperative for public safety and homeland 
        security, and doing so by April 2012, in accordance with the 
        current destruction deadline provided under the Chemical 
        Weapons Convention, is required by United States law.
            (5) The elimination of chemical weapons anywhere they exist 
        in the world, and the prevention of their proliferation, is of 
        utmost importance to the national security of the United 
        States.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States is, and must remain, committed to 
        making every effort to safely dispose of its entire chemical 
        weapons stockpile by April 2012, the current destruction 
        deadline provided under the Chemical Weapons Convention, or as 
        soon thereafter as possible, and must carry out all of its 
        other obligations under the Convention; and
            (2) the Secretary of Defense should make every effort to 
        plan for, and to request in the annual budget of the President 
        submitted to Congress adequate funding to complete, the 
        elimination of the United States chemical weapons stockpile in 
        accordance with United States obligations under the Chemical 
        Weapons Convention and in a manner that will protect public 
        health, safety, and the environment, as required by law.
    (c) Reports Required.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than March 15, 2008, and every 
        180 days thereafter until the year in which the United States 
        completes the destruction of its entire stockpile of chemical

                    (B) A description of the options and alternatives 
                for accelerating the completion of chemical weapons 
                destruction at each such facility, particularly in time 
                to meet the destruction deadline of April 29, 2012,
