THE UNITED STATES IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) opinions of the United States in Muslim

tive and hostile beliefs and images and many of

formation and propaganda by individuals and orga-
nizations hostile to the United States; 
(2) these negative opinions and images are 
highly prejudicial to the interests of the United 
States and to its foreign policy; and 
(3) as part of a broad and long-term effort to 
enhance a positive image of the United States in 
Muslim countries, programs should be established to 
promote greater familiarity with American society 
and values among the general public and select audi-
ences in Muslim countries.

lish programs to promote greater familiarity with Amer-
ican society and values among the general public and se-

governments of Muslim countries, including such 
governments that are friends or allies of the United

AND 
EDU-
CATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE PRO-
GRAMS IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES.

fends, Muslims against tyrants and criminals in So-
malia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Afghani-
stan, and Iraq.

AND EDUCATIONAL
AND CUL-
TURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS.—It is the sense of Con-

be expanded to emphasize and give priority to young 
people in Muslim countries; and 
(2) projects and activities carried out under 
programs described in paragraph (1) should be iden-
tified as assistance from the people of the United 
States. 
SEC. 314. INTERNATIONAL YOUTH OPPORTUNITY FUND. 
Congress strongly urges the President to seek the ne-
gotiation of international agreements (or other appro-
priate arrangements) to support the establishment of an

lish and operate primary and secondary schools in Muslim 
countries that commit to sensibly investing their own 
funds in public education. 
SEC. 315. ECONOMIC POLICIES TO ENCOURAGE DEVELOP-
MENT, MORE OPEN SOCIETIES, AND OPPOR-
TUNITIES IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES.

United States strategy to counter terrorism should include 
economic policies that encourage development, more open 
societies, and opportunities for people to improve the lives

dren’s future in Muslim countries. Such economic policies

Free Trade Area, or MEFTA, by 2013.

a comprehensive coalition strategy against Islamist ter-
rorism. Such a strategy should include the establishment 
of a flexible contact group of leading coalition governments 
to discuss and coordinate the most important policies with 
respect to the coalition strategy, including policies for tar-
geting travel by terrorists and their sanctuaries. 
SEC. 317. NEW PRINCIPLES FOR DETENTION AND HUMANE 
TREATMENT OF CAPTURED TERRORISTS. 
The President shall work with friendly foreign coun-
tries and international organizations to develop a new set 
of principles for the detention and humane treatment of 
captured terrorists. Such principles should be modeled on 
Article 3 of the Convention Relative to the Treatment of 
Prisoners of War, done at Geneva August 12, 1949 (6 
UST 3316).
Subtitle C—Additional 
Counterterrorism Efforts 
SEC. 321. PREVENTION OF PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS 
OF MASS DESTRUCTION. 
The President shall take such actions as are nec-
essary to strengthen counterproliferation efforts, expand

Reduction programs. In this section, the term ‘‘Coopera-
tive Threat Reduction programs’’ means programs speci-
fied in section 1501(b) of the National Defense Authoriza-

land Security, the Secretary of State, the Federal func-
tional regulators (as defined in section 509 of the Gramm-
Leach-Bliley Act), and other appropriate Federal officers,

zations, including enforcement of requirements for record-
keeping, identification of customers, and reporting of sus-
picious activities by financial institutions, under any rel-
evant provision of Federal law, including the International 
Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Ter-

taining vital national facilities, such as nuclear reac-

ciency, and civil liberties interests.

The Secretary of Homeland Security shall complete, 
as quickly as possible after the date of the enactment of

persons entering and departing the United States, includ-
ing a single system for expedited biometric screening of

with the system used to determine whether an alien who 
is not lawfully admitted for permanent residence should 
be granted an extension of the alien’s period of authorized 
stay in the United States.
