SEC. 504. THE UNITED STATES-SAUDI ARABIA RELATION-
SHIP. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings:
154
(1) Despite a long history of friendly relations 
with the United States, Saudi Arabia has been a 
problematic ally in combating Islamic extremism. 
(2) Cooperation between the Governments of 
the United States and Saudi Arabia has traditionally 
been carried out in private. 
(3) The Government of Saudi Arabia has not 
always responded promptly and fully to United 
States requests for assistance in the global war on 
Islamist terrorism. 
(4) Counterterrorism cooperation between the 
Governments of the United States and Saudi Arabia 
has improved significantly since the terrorist bomb-
ing attacks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on May 12, 
2003. 
(5) The Government of Saudi Arabia is now ag-
gressively pursuing al Qaeda and appears to be act-
ing to build a domestic consensus for some internal 
reforms. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) the problems in the relationship between the 
United States and Saudi Arabia must be confronted 
openly, and the opportunities for cooperation be-
155
tween the countries must be pursued openly by those 
governments; 
(2) both governments must build a relationship 
that they can publicly defend and that is based on 
other national interests in addition to their national 
interests in oil; 
(3) this relationship should include a shared 
commitment to political and economic reform in 
Saudi Arabia; and 
(4) this relationship should also include a 
shared interest in greater tolerance and respect for 
other cultures in Saudi Arabia and a commitment to 
fight the violent extremists who foment hatred in the 
Middle East.

(1) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the

panding collaboration with the Government of Saudi

dent shall consider the utility of undertaking a peri-
odic, formal, and visible high-level dialogue between

in the relationship between the 2 governments and

SEC. 505. EFFORTS TO COMBAT ISLAMIC TERRORISM BY 
ENGAGING IN THE STRUGGLE OF IDEAS IN 
THE ISLAMIC WORLD. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) While support for the United States has 
plummeted in the Islamic world, many negative 
views are uninformed, at best, and, at worst, are in-
formed by coarse stereotypes and caricatures.
157
(2) Local newspapers in Islamic countries and 
influential broadcasters who reach Islamic audiences 
through satellite television often reinforce the idea 
that the people and Government of the United 
States are anti-Muslim. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) the Government of the United States should 
offer an example of moral leadership in the world 
that includes a commitment to treat all people hu-
manely, abide by the rule of law, and be generous 
and caring to the people and governments of other 
countries; 
(2) the United States should cooperate with 
governments of Islamic countries to foster agree-
ment on respect for human dignity and opportunity, 
and to offer a vision of a better future that includes 
stressing life over death, individual educational and 
economic opportunity, widespread political participa-
tion, contempt for indiscriminate violence, respect 
for the rule of law, openness in discussing dif-
ferences, and tolerance for opposing points of view; 
(3) the United States should encourage reform, 
freedom, democracy, and opportunity for Arabs and
158
Muslims and promote moderation in the Islamic 
world; and 
(4) the United States should work to defeat ex-
tremist ideology in the Islamic world by providing 
assistance to moderate Arabs and Muslims to com-
bat extremist ideas. 
(c) REPORT ON THE STRUGGLE OF IDEAS IN THE 
ISLAMIC WORLD.—
(1) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the

section shall include the following:

accomplish these goals and the manner in which 
such tools will be employed. 
(C) A list of benchmarks for measuring 
success and a plan for linking resources to the 
accomplishment of these goals.
159
(D) A description of any additional re-
sources that may be necessary to help win this 
struggle of ideas.

of, and United States participation in, inter-
national institutions for the promotion of de-
mocracy and economic diversification in the Is-
lamic world, and intra-regional trade in the 
Middle East.

States financial assistance that would be suffi-
cient to convince United States allies and peo-
ple in the Islamic world that engaging in the 
struggle of ideas in the Islamic world is a top 
priority of the United States and that the 
United States intends to make a substantial 
and sustained commitment toward winning this 
struggle. 
SEC. 506. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD DICTATOR-
SHIPS. 
(a) FINDING.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress finds that short-term gains enjoyed by 
the United States through cooperation with the world’s 
most repressive and brutal governments are too often out-
160
weighed by long-term setbacks for the stature and inter-
ests of the United States. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) United States foreign policy should promote 
the value of life and the importance of individual 
educational and economic opportunity, encourage 
widespread political participation, condemn indis-
criminate violence, and promote respect for the rule 
of law, openness in discussing differences among 
people, and tolerance for opposing points of view; 
and 
(2) the United States Government must prevail 
upon the governments of all predominantly Muslim 
countries, including those that are friends and allies 
of the United States, to condemn indiscriminate vio-
lence, promote the value of life, respect and promote 
the principles of individual education and economic 
opportunity, encourage widespread political partici-
pation, and promote the rule of law, openness in dis-
cussing differences among people, and tolerance for 
opposing points of view.

PROMOTION 
OF 
UNITED 
STATES 
VALUES 
THROUGH BROADCAST MEDIA. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Although the United States has dem-
onstrated and promoted its values in defending Mus-
lims against tyrants and criminals in Somalia, Bos-
nia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq, this message is 
not always clearly presented in the Islamic world. 
(2) If the United States does not act to vigor-
ously define its message in the Islamic world, the 
image of the United States will be defined by Is-
lamic extremists who seek to demonize the United 
States. 
(3) Recognizing that many Arab and Muslim 
audiences rely on satellite television and radio, the 
United States Government has launched promising 
initiatives in television and radio broadcasting to the 
Arab world, Iran, and Afghanistan. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) the United States must do more to defend 
and promote its values and ideals to the broadest 
possible audience in the Islamic world;
162
(2) United States efforts to defend and promote 
these values and ideals are beginning to ensure that 
accurate expressions of these values reach large au-
diences in the Islamic world and should be robustly 
supported; 
(3) the United States Government could and 
should do more to engage the Muslim world in the 
struggle of ideas; and 
(4) the United States Government should more 
intensively employ existing broadcast media in the 
Islamic world as part of this engagement. 
(c) REPORT ON OUTREACH STRATEGY.—
(1) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the

Board of Governors and the public diplomacy 
activities of the Department of State with re-
spect to outreach to foreign Muslim audiences.

that the United States Government should take 
to more regularly and comprehensively present 
a United States point of view through indige-
nous broadcast media in countries with sizable 
Muslim populations, including increasing ap-
pearances by United States Government offi-
cials, experts, and citizens. 
(C) An assessment of potential incentives 
for, and costs associated with, encouraging 
United States broadcasters to dub or subtitle 
into Arabic and other relevant languages their 
news and public affairs programs broadcast in 
the Muslim world in order to present those pro-
grams to a much broader Muslim audience than 
is currently reached. 
(D) Any recommendations the President 
may have for additional funding and legislation 
necessary to achieve the objectives of the strat-
egy. 
(d) AUTHORIZATIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There
