SEC. 1314. (a) FINDINGS REGARDING PROGRESS IN IRAQ, THE 
ESTABLISHMENT OF BENCHMARKS TO MEASURE THAT PROGRESS, AND 
REPORTS TO CONGRESS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Over 145,000 American military personnel are currently 
serving in Iraq, like thousands of others since March 2003, 
with the bravery and professionalism consistent with the finest 
traditions of the United States Armed Forces, and are deserving 
of the strong support of all Americans. 
(2) Many American service personnel have lost their lives, 
and many more have been wounded in Iraq; the American 
people will always honor their sacrifice and honor their families. 
(3) The United States Army and Marine Corps, including 
their Reserve components and National Guard organizations,
H. R. 2206—11
together with components of the other branches of the military, 
are performing their missions while under enormous strain 
from multiple, extended deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. 
These deployments, and those that will follow, will have a 
lasting impact on future recruiting, retention, and readiness 
of our Nation’s all volunteer force. 
(4) Iraq is experiencing a deteriorating problem of sectarian 
and intrasectarian violence based upon political distrust and 
cultural differences among factions of the Sunni and Shia popu-
lations. 
(5) Iraqis must reach political and economic settlements 
in order to achieve reconciliation, for there is no military solu-
tion. The failure of the Iraqis to reach such settlements to 
support a truly unified government greatly contributes to the 
increasing violence in Iraq. 
(6) The responsibility for Iraq’s internal security and 
halting sectarian violence rests with the sovereign Government 
of Iraq. 
(7) In December 2006, the bipartisan Iraq Study Group 
issued a valuable report, suggesting a comprehensive strategy 
that includes new and enhanced diplomatic and political efforts 
in Iraq and the region, and a change in the primary mission 
of U.S. forces in Iraq, that will enable the United States to 
begin to move its combat forces out of Iraq responsibly. 
(8) The President said on January 10, 2007, that ‘‘I’ve 
made it clear to the Prime Minister and Iraq’s other leaders 
that America’s commitment is not open-ended’’ so as to dispel 
the contrary impression that exists. 
(9) It is essential that the sovereign Government of Iraq 
set out measurable and achievable benchmarks and President 
Bush said, on January 10, 2007, that ‘‘America will change 
our approach to help the Iraqi government as it works to 
meet these benchmarks’’. 
(10) As reported by Secretary of State Rice, Iraq’s Policy 
Committee on National Security agreed upon a set of political, 
security, and economic benchmarks and an associated timeline 
in September 2006 that were: (A) reaffirmed by Iraq’s Presi-
dency Council on October 6, 2006; (B) referenced by the Iraq 
Study Group; and (C) posted on the President of Iraq’s Web 
site. 
(11) On April 21, 2007, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates 
stated that ‘‘our [American] commitment to Iraq is long-term, 
but it is not a commitment to have our young men and women 
patrolling Iraq’s streets open-endedly’’ and that ‘‘progress in 
reconciliation will be an important element of our evaluation’’. 
(12) The President’s January 10, 2007, address had three 
components: political, military, and economic. Given that 
significant time has passed since his statement, and recognizing 
the overall situation is ever changing, Congress must have 
timely reports to evaluate and execute its constitutional over-
sight responsibilities. 
(b) CONDITIONING

(1) IN GENERAL.—

(xi) Ensuring that the Iraqi Security Forces are 
providing even handed enforcement of the law.

Iraq and eliminating militia control of local security. 
(xiv) Establishing all of the planned joint security

(B) The President shall submit reports to Congress 
on how the sovereign Government of Iraq is, or is not,

tioned benchmarks, and shall advise the Congress on how 
that assessment requires, or does not require, changes 
to the strategy announced on January 10, 2007. 
(2) REPORTS REQUIRED.—
