(2) In congressional testimony on September 
22, 2011, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike 
Mullen stated that the Haqqani network is operating 
with Pakistan’s support. Mullen stated that there is 
credible evidence that an attack on the Interconti-
nental Hotel in Kabul on June 28, 2011, a suicide 
bombing targeting United States troops in the 
Wardak province on September 10, 2011, and an at-
tack on the United States embassy in Kabul on Sep-
tember 13, 2011, were conducted by the Haqqani 
network with the help of the Pakistani government. 
(3) The Haqqani network has from 5,000 to 
15,000 Taliban under their command and has estab-
lished safe havens in Pakistan. 
(4) The Haqqani network supplies the potas-
sium chlorate used in Taliban bombings in Afghani-
stan. 
(5) United States funding provided to Pakistan 
is assisting the Haqqani terrorist network to kill 
United States troops. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that, if Pakistan continues to support terrorist net-
works that kill United States troops, United States fund-
ing to Pakistan should be terminated and redirected to 
fight drug cartels on the United States-Mexico border.
