16 (1) APPROPRIATE COMMITTEES OF CON17 GRESS.—The term ‘‘appropriate committees of Con18 gress’’ means the following:

24 Committee on Armed Services, the Permanent 

25 Select Committee on Intelligence, and the Com-
14

HR 4548 RFS 

1 mittee on International Relations of the House 

2 of Representatives. 

3 (2) WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.—The 

4 term ‘‘weapons of mass destruction’’ has the mean5 ing given such term in section 1403(1) of the De6 fense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 

7 1996. (Public Law 104–201).

13 SEC. 305. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE DISMANTLING AND 

14 REMOVAL OF LIBYA’S WEAPONS OF MASS DE15 STRUCTION. 

16 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 

17 (1) Libya has been listed as a state sponsor of 

18 terrorism by the Department of State each year 

19 since 1979. 

20 (2) A German court found the Libyan Govern21 ment guilty of the East Berlin La Belle disco bomb22 ing of 1986, in which two US servicemen were 

23 killed. 
15

HR 4548 RFS 

1 (3) A Scottish court in January 2001 found a 

2 former Libyan official guilty of the 1988 bombing of 

3 Pan Am Flight 103. 

4 (4) Libya received and deserved world’s con5 demnations for these horrific acts against innocents. 

6 (5) As a result of Libya’s support for inter7 national terrorism and its destabilizing role in the 

8 international community, the United States main9 tained a comprehensive economic embargo on Libya 

10 for more than two decades, which was aided by mul11 tilateral sanctions imposed by United Nations Secu12 rity Council Resolutions 731 and 742 in 1992, and 

13 which together hobbled the development of the Liby14 an economy. 

15 (6) In March 2003, while Coalition Forces were 

16 preparing to liberate Iraq, Libya once again quietly 

17 approached members of the intelligence services of 

18 the United States and United Kingdom and indicted 

19 a willingness to discuss Libya’s weapons of mass de20 struction programs, as it had previously in the 

21 1990’s. 

22 (7) On December 19, 2003, after nine months 

23 of intense negotiations, Libya publicly announced 

24 that it was prepared to eliminate all elements of its 

25 clandestine nuclear and chemical weapons programs. 
16

HR 4548 RFS 

1 (8) The United States, the United Kingdom, 

2 partners in the Proliferation Security Initiative and 

3 key arms control agencies, including the Inter4 national Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Or5 ganization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons 

6 (OPCW), have worked in a multilateral and con7 certed fashion with Libya in an effort to completely 

8 dismantle Libya’s weapons of mass destruction pro9 grams and the means to deliver them. 

10 (9) Because of the hard work by the men and 

11 women of the intelligence community, United States 

12 policymakers were able to work successfully to con13 vince Libya to relinquish its WMD programs. 

14 (10) On January 27, 2004, a cargo plane flew 

15 from Libya to Knoxville, Tennessee, carrying 55,000 

16 pounds of equipment and documents relating to 

17 Libya’s nuclear weapons and missile programs. 

18 (11) Documents relating to those programs in19 dicate that Libya had purchased a virtual ‘‘turnkey 

20 facility’’ to produce parts for gas centrifuges to21 gether with assistance to assemble and test these 

22 centrifuges, and was otherwise attempting to develop 

23 a large uranium enrichment plant which could have 

24 produced enough fuel for several nuclear bombs a 

25 year. 
17

HR 4548 RFS 

1 (12) On January 24, 2004, Libya announced 

2 that it would accede to the Chemical Weapons Con3 vention (CWC). 

4 (13) On March 4, 2004, Libya submitted its 

5 Chemical Weapons Convention declaration, including 

6 a full declaration of its chemical weapons, an inven7 tory of its production capacity, a description of any 

8 industrial activity that could be involved in making 

9 illegal weapons, and a plan for destroying any 

10 banned materials. 

11 (14) All of Libya’s known chemical munitions 

12 have since been destroyed and the country’s stocks 

13 of mustard gas have been consolidated within a sin14 gle secure facility under the supervision of the 

15 OPCW. 

16 (15) On May 6, 2004, a cargo ship departed 

17 Libya for the United States carrying an additional 

18 1,000 tons of weapons of mass destruction equip19 ment, including centrifuge parts and components 

20 needed to enrich uranium, the Libyan uranium con21 version facility and all associated equipment, five 

22 SCUD-C missiles and launchers, and two partial 

23 missiles. 

24 (16) In testimony before the Committee on 

25 International Relations of the House of Representa-
18

HR 4548 RFS 

1 tives on May 10, 2004, Assistant Secretary of State 

2 for Verification and Compliance, Paula DeSutter, in3 dicated that Libya had signed the additional protocol 

4 for the IAEA in Vienna and announced ‘‘the com5 plete dismantlement of Libya’s longest range and 

6 most sophisticated missiles and the elimination of all 

7 of Libya’s declared chemical munitions’’. 

8 (17) International inspectors and monitors are 

9 expected to remain on the ground with full coopera10 tion from Libya to ensure that Libya possesses no 

11 biological weapons programs and that its weapons of 

12 mass destruction programs have been fully disman13 tled and or converted to civilian use. 

14 (18) The United States and Libya currently are 

15 engaged in talks to enter a third phase of negotia16 tions focused on follow-up, verification, and long17 term monitoring to ensure that Libya’s weapons of 

18 mass destruction programs and the means to deliver 

19 them have been completely dismantled, as well as 

20 plans for the retraining of Libyan scientists and 

21 technicians for peaceful work. 

22 (19) Libya’s cooperation with international in23 spectors and revelations about procurement net24 works have helped identify numerous black market 

25 suppliers in an ‘‘international supermarket’’ for nu-
19

HR 4548 RFS 

1 clear parts and weapons designs that also has aided 

2 such countries as Iran, Syria, and North Korea. 

3 (20) Other countries voluntarily have disman4 tled their weapons of mass destruction programs, 

5 but Libya is the first and only country on the De6 partment of State’s list of State Sponsors of Ter7 rorism to do so. 

8 (21) Libya’s decision to shed it pariah status 

9 and divest itself of its weapons of mass destruction 

10 programs can be directly attributed to decades of 

11 United States and multilateral economic sanctions 

12 against Libya, the demonstrated resolve of the 

13 United States in the global war against terrorism, 

14 the liberation of Iraq by United States Armed 

15 Forces and Coalition Forces, and the adoption of 

16 policies in targeting and seizing shipments of such 

17 weapons. 

18 (22) It is appropriate to pursue a policy of cau19 tious and deliberate re-engagement with Libya based 

20 upon verifiable results, but the United States should 

21 not restore full diplomatic relations with Libya un22 less and until Libya has—

23 (A) agreed and submitted to comprehen24 sive monitoring of the full dismantling of its 

25 weapons of mass destruction programs; 
20

HR 4548 RFS 

1 (B) severed all links to and support for 

2 acts of international terrorism; 

3 (C) ceased all support for insurgency 

4 groups which have destabilized countries in Af5 rica; 

6 (D) demonstrated respect for human rights 

7 and the rule of law; 

8 (E) implemented its pledge to cooperate in 

9 the further investigation of the destruction of 

10 Pan Am Flight 103; and 

11 (F) settled all legal claims relating to past 

12 acts of international terrorism, including but 

13 not limited to the bombings of Pan Am Flight 

14 103 and the La Belle Discotheque. 

15 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con16 gress that—

17 (1) the world has been made safer with the dis18 mantling and removal of Libya’s weapons of mass 

19 destruction and the means to deliver them; 

20 (2) this would not have been possible if not for 

21 decades of United States and multilateral sanctions 

22 against Libya, the demonstrated resolve of the 

23 United States in the global war on terror, and in the 

24 liberation of Iraq by United States and Coalition 

25 Forces; 
21

HR 4548 RFS 

1 (3) the President and previous Administrations 

2 should be commended for having the courage to un3 dertake those policies which persuaded Libya to 

4 agree to relinquish such weapons; and 

5 (4) other countries such as Iran, Syria, and 

6 North Korea, should follow Libya’s example, and 

7 voluntarily dismantle their weapons of mass destruc8 tion and submit their programs to international in9 spections.

10 SEC. 306. SENSE OF CONGRESS THAT THE APPREHENSION, 

11 DETENTION, AND INTERROGATION OF TER12 RORISTS ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO THE SUC13 CESSFUL PROSECUTION OF THE GLOBAL 

14 WAR ON TERROR. 

15 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 

16 (1) Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the peo17 ple of the United States were too often brutalized 

18 again and again by deadly terrorist violence, as evi19 denced by the hundreds of American deaths in the 

20 Beirut and Lockerbie bombings, the attack on the 

21 World Trade Center in 1993, the destruction of the 

22 Khobar Towers military barracks, the bombing of 

23 the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, 

24 and the vicious attacks on the USS Cole in 2000. 
22

HR 4548 RFS 

1 (2) The terrorist violence targeted against the 

2 United States became more emboldened after each 

3 attack, culminating in the deadly attacks on the 

4 World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sep5 tember 11, 2001, which killed thousands of innocent 

6 Americans, including innocent women and children. 

7 (3) Since September 11, 2001, the citizens of 

8 the United States have remained the priority target 

9 of terrorist violence, with journalists and employees 

10 of non-governmental organizations being held hos11 tage, tortured, and decapitated in the name of ter12 ror. 

13 (4) Congress has authorized the President to 

14 use all necessary and appropriate means to defeat 

15 terrorism ; and on numerous occasions since Sep16 tember 11, 2001, and throughout the Global War on 

17 Terror, the interrogation of detainees has yielded 

18 valuable intelligence that has saved the lives of 

19 American military personnel and American citizens 

20 at home and abroad. 

21 (5) The interrogation of detainees has also pro22 vided highly valuable insights into the structure of 

23 terrorist organizations, their target selection process, 

24 and the identities of key operational and logistical 
23

HR 4548 RFS 

1 personnel that were previously unknown to the Intel2 ligence Community. 

3 (6) The lawful interrogation of detainees is con4 sistent with the United States Constitution. 

5 (7) The abuses against detainees documented at 

6 Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq were deplorable aberra7 tions that were not part of United States policy and 

8 were not in keeping with the finest traditions of the 

9 United States military and the honorable men and 

10 women who serve. 

11 (8) The loss of interrogation-derived informa12 tion would have a disastrous effect on the Nation’s 

13 intelligence collection and counterterrorism efforts 

14 and would constitute a damaging reversal in the 

15 Global War on Terror during this critical time. 

16 (9) The apprehension, detention, and interroga17 tion of terrorists are essential elements to success18 fully waging the Global War on Terror. 

19 (10) The interrogation of detainees can and 

20 should continue by the United States within the 

21 bounds of the United States Constitution and the 

22 laws of the United States of America. 

23 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con24 gress that the apprehension, detention, and interrogation 
24

1 of terrorists are fundamental to the successful prosecution 

2 of the Global War on Terror.

3 SEC. 307. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SUPPORT FOR THE EF4 FORTS OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. 

5 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 

6 (1) The men and women of the intelligence 

7 community are the backbone of the Nation’s efforts 

8 to gather and collect the intelligence which is vital 

9 to the national security of the United States. 

10 (2) The men and women of the intelligence 

11 community are great patriots who perform their jobs 

12 without fan fair and all too often without receiving 

13 the proper credit. 

14 (3) The men and women of the intelligence 

15 community are combating vastly different threats to 

16 the Nation’s security compared to their Cold War 

17 colleagues. 

18 (4) Threats to the United States have evolved 

19 through the use of technology and non-state actions, 

20 demanding alternatives to traditional diplomatic ac21 tions. 

22 (5) The 1995 ‘‘Deutch Guidelines’’ regarding 

23 the recruitment of foreign assets impeded human in24 telligence collection efforts and contributed to the 

25 creation of a risk averse environment. Despite re-
25

HR 4548 RFS 

1 peated efforts by the intelligence oversight commit2 tees of Congress to convince the Director of Central 

3 Intelligence to drop the guidelines, these guidelines 

4 stood until formally repealed in 2001 by an Act of 

5 Congress. 

6 (6) The President’s budget request for the in7 telligence community fell by 11 percent from 1993 

8 to 1995. 

9 (7) Congress cut the President’s budget request 

10 for the intelligence community each year from 1992 

11 through 1994. 

12 (8) The cutbacks in resources and political sup13 port during the middle of the previous decade has 

14 caused nearly irreversible damage. 

15 (9) Widespread risk aversion in clandestine 

16 HUMINT collection and intelligence analysis re17 sulted from lack of resources and, more importantly, 

18 of political support for the mission during the middle 

19 of the previous decade. 

20 (10) Unnecessarily cumbersome legal impedi21 ments to the clandestine HUMINT collection mis22 sion were raised during the middle of the previous 

23 decade, leaving our intelligence officers unable to 

24 penetrate legitimate target organizations, such as 

25 terrorist groups. 
26

HR 4548 RFS 

1 (11) Congress and the current President have 

2 worked cooperatively to restore funding, personnel 

3 levels, and political support for intelligence. 

4 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con5 gress that—

6 (1) the intelligence community should be revi7 talized by investing in the missions, people, and ca8 pabilities of the community; and 

9 (2) the efforts of the men and women of the in10 telligence community should be recognized and com11 mended.

12 SEC. 308. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 

13 It is the Sense of Congress that the head of each ele14 ment of the intelligence community, including the Central 

15 Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 

16 and the intelligence elements of the Department of De17 fense, the Department of State, and the Department of 

18 the Treasury should make available upon a request from 

19 a committee of Congress with jurisdiction over matters re20 lating to the Office of the Iraq Oil-for-Food Program of 

21 the United Nations, any information and documents in the 

22 possession or control of such element in connection with 

23 any investigation of that Office by such a committee.
