(2) al-Manar television is owned and controlled 
by Hizballah and acts on behalf of Hizballah, as 
openly acknowledged by Hizballah leader Hasan 
Nasrallah; 
(3) al-Manar’s programming, in accordance 
with Hizballah’s policy, openly promotes hatred of 
and graphically glorifies and incites violence, includ-
ing suicide bombings, against Americans, Israelis, 
and Jews; 
(4) in December 2004, the Secretary of State 
placed al-Manar on its Terrorist Exclusion List, im-
mediately after which the sole satellite company that 
broadcast al-Manar in North America pulled al-
Manar off the air; 
(5) in recent months, several European Union 
(EU) countries and EU-based satellite companies 
have taken actions that severely limit al-Manar’s 
broadcasting reach in Europe; and 
(6) al-Manar continues to broadcast to all of 
the Arab world, much of non-Arab Asia, most of 
Central and South America, and parts of Europe, 
with the cooperation of companies headquartered in 
Europe and the Arab world. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
509
(1) all countries that host satellite companies 
that broadcast al-Manar, on whose territory al-
Manar may be viewed over media subject to govern-
ment regulation, or where advertising or other finan-
cial support for al-Manar originates, should take ac-
tion, by the strongest and most comprehensive ap-
propriate means available, to suppress al-Manar’s 
terroristic programming; and 
(2) the Arab States Broadcasting Union, which 
is part of the Arab League, should revoke al-
Manar’s membership status because of al-Manar’s 
promotion of hatred and incitement to violence, in-
cluding suicide bombings, directed toward Ameri-
cans, Israelis, and Jews. 
SEC. 1435. STABILITY AND SECURITY IN IRAQ. 
It is the sense of Congress that the President should 
transmit to the appropriate congressional committees as 
soon as possible after the date of the enactment of this 
Act the plan to provide for a stable and secure government 
of Iraq and an Iraqi military and police force that will 
allow the United States military presence in Iraq to be 
diminished.

SEC. 1436. PROPERTY EXPROPRIATED BY THE GOVERN-
MENT OF ETHIOPIA. 
It is the sense of the Congress that the Government 
of Ethiopia should account for, compensate for, or return 
to United States citizens, and entities not less than 50 
percent beneficially owned by United States citizens, prop-
erty of such citizens and entities that has been national-
ized, expropriated, or otherwise seized by the Government 
of Ethiopia before the date of the enactment of this Act 
in contravention of international law. 
SEC. 1437. UNITED STATES-CHINA RELATIONS. 
It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the comments by Chinese General Zhu 
Chenghu advocating the use of nuclear weapons 
against the United States are both damaging to 
United States-China relations and a violation of Chi-
na’s commitment to resolve its differences with Tai-
wan peacefully; and 
(2) the Government of China should renounce 
the use of force against Taiwan, disavow General 
Zhu’s statements, and relieve General Zhu from his 
command. 
SEC. 1438. CAPTURE, DETENTION, AND INTERROGATION OF 
TERRORISTS AT GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:
511
(1) Usama bin Laden declared war on the 
United States in 1996. 
(2) International terrorists, including al Qaida 
and its affiliated terrorists, have repeatedly attacked 
the United States and its coalition partners through-
out the world and have killed and wounded thou-
sands of innocent United States citizens and citizens 
from these coalition partners. 
(3) The United States is exercising its rights to 
self-defense and to protect United States citizens 
both at home and abroad by waging war alongside 
its coalition partners against al Qaida and affiliated 
terrorists. 
(4) International terrorists continue to pose an 
extraordinary threat to the national security and for-
eign policy of the United States and its coalition 
partners. 
(5) International terrorists continue to commit 
and plan terrorist attacks around the world against 
the United States and its coalition partners. 
(6) In order to protect the United States and 
its citizens, the United States must identify terror-
ists and those individuals who support them, disrupt 
their activities, and eliminate their ability to conduct
512
or support attacks against the United States, its 
citizens, and its coalition partners. 
(7) Identifying, disrupting, and eliminating ter-
rorist threats against the United States requires ef-
fective gathering, dissemination, and analysis of 
timely intelligence. 
(8) The collection of information from detainees 
at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by the United States 
has improved the security of the United States and 
its coalition partners and is essential in fighting the 
Global War on Terrorism. 
(9) The loss of interrogation-derived informa-
tion would have a disastrous effect on the United 
States’ intelligence collection and counterterrorism 
efforts and would constitute a damaging reversal in 
the Global War on Terrorism. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) the capture, detention, and interrogation of 
international terrorists are essential to the successful 
prosecution of the Global War on Terrorism and to 
the defense of the United States, its citizens, and its 
coalition partners from future terrorist attacks; 
(2) the detention and lawful, humane interroga-
tion by the United States of detainees at Guanta-
513
namo Bay, Cuba, is essential to the defense of the 
United States and its coalition partners and to the 
successful prosecution of the Global War on Ter-
rorism; 
(3) the detention facilities and interrogations at 
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, plays an essential role in 
the security of the United States and should not be 
closed or ended while the United States is waging 
the Global War of Terrorism.
