SEC. 305. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE DISMANTLING AND 
REMOVAL OF LIBYA’S WEAPONS OF MASS DE-
STRUCTION. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 
(1) Libya has been listed as a state sponsor of 
terrorism by the Department of State each year 
since 1979. 
(2) A German court found the Libyan Govern-
ment guilty of the East Berlin La Belle disco bomb-
ing of 1986, in which two US servicemen were 
killed.
HR 4548 RFS 
(3) A Scottish court in January 2001 found a 
former Libyan official guilty of the 1988 bombing of 
Pan Am Flight 103. 
(4) Libya received and deserved world’s con-
demnations for these horrific acts against innocents. 
(5) As a result of Libya’s support for inter-
national terrorism and its destabilizing role in the 
international community, the United States main-
tained a comprehensive economic embargo on Libya 
for more than two decades, which was aided by mul-
tilateral sanctions imposed by United Nations Secu-
rity Council Resolutions 731 and 742 in 1992, and 
which together hobbled the development of the Liby-
an economy. 
(6) In March 2003, while Coalition Forces were 
preparing to liberate Iraq, Libya once again quietly 
approached members of the intelligence services of 
the United States and United Kingdom and indicted 
a willingness to discuss Libya’s weapons of mass de-
struction programs, as it had previously in the 
1990’s. 
(7) On December 19, 2003, after nine months 
of intense negotiations, Libya publicly announced 
that it was prepared to eliminate all elements of its 
clandestine nuclear and chemical weapons programs.
HR 4548 RFS 
(8) The United States, the United Kingdom, 
partners in the Proliferation Security Initiative and 
key arms control agencies, including the Inter-
national Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Or-
ganization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons 
(OPCW), have worked in a multilateral and con-
certed fashion with Libya in an effort to completely 
dismantle Libya’s weapons of mass destruction pro-
grams and the means to deliver them. 
(9) Because of the hard work by the men and 
women of the intelligence community, United States 
policymakers were able to work successfully to con-
vince Libya to relinquish its WMD programs. 
(10) On January 27, 2004, a cargo plane flew 
from Libya to Knoxville, Tennessee, carrying 55,000 
pounds of equipment and documents relating to 
Libya’s nuclear weapons and missile programs. 
(11) Documents relating to those programs in-
dicate that Libya had purchased a virtual ‘‘turnkey 
facility’’ to produce parts for gas centrifuges to-
gether with assistance to assemble and test these 
centrifuges, and was otherwise attempting to develop 
a large uranium enrichment plant which could have 
produced enough fuel for several nuclear bombs a 
year.
HR 4548 RFS 
(12) On January 24, 2004, Libya announced 
that it would accede to the Chemical Weapons Con-
vention (CWC). 
(13) On March 4, 2004, Libya submitted its 
Chemical Weapons Convention declaration, including 
a full declaration of its chemical weapons, an inven-
tory of its production capacity, a description of any 
industrial activity that could be involved in making 
illegal weapons, and a plan for destroying any 
banned materials. 
(14) All of Libya’s known chemical munitions 
have since been destroyed and the country’s stocks 
of mustard gas have been consolidated within a sin-
gle secure facility under the supervision of the 
OPCW. 
(15) On May 6, 2004, a cargo ship departed 
Libya for the United States carrying an additional 
1,000 tons of weapons of mass destruction equip-
ment, including centrifuge parts and components 
needed to enrich uranium, the Libyan uranium con-
version facility and all associated equipment, five 
SCUD-C missiles and launchers, and two partial 
missiles. 
(16) In testimony before the Committee on 
International Relations of the House of Representa-
HR 4548 RFS 
tives on May 10, 2004, Assistant Secretary of State 
for Verification and Compliance, Paula DeSutter, in-
dicated that Libya had signed the additional protocol 
for the IAEA in Vienna and announced ‘‘the com-
plete dismantlement of Libya’s longest range and 
most sophisticated missiles and the elimination of all 
of Libya’s declared chemical munitions’’. 
(17) International inspectors and monitors are 
expected to remain on the ground with full coopera-
tion from Libya to ensure that Libya possesses no 
biological weapons programs and that its weapons of 
mass destruction programs have been fully disman-
tled and or converted to civilian use. 
(18) The United States and Libya currently are 
engaged in talks to enter a third phase of negotia-
tions focused on follow-up, verification, and long-
term monitoring to ensure that Libya’s weapons of 
mass destruction programs and the means to deliver 
them have been completely dismantled, as well as 
plans for the retraining of Libyan scientists and 
technicians for peaceful work. 
(19) Libya’s cooperation with international in-
spectors and revelations about procurement net-
works have helped identify numerous black market 
suppliers in an ‘‘international supermarket’’ for nu-
HR 4548 RFS 
clear parts and weapons designs that also has aided 
such countries as Iran, Syria, and North Korea. 
(20) Other countries voluntarily have disman-
tled their weapons of mass destruction programs, 
but Libya is the first and only country on the De-
partment of State’s list of State Sponsors of Ter-
rorism to do so. 
(21) Libya’s decision to shed it pariah status 
and divest itself of its weapons of mass destruction 
programs can be directly attributed to decades of 
United States and multilateral economic sanctions 
against Libya, the demonstrated resolve of the 
United States in the global war against terrorism, 
the liberation of Iraq by United States Armed 
Forces and Coalition Forces, and the adoption of 
policies in targeting and seizing shipments of such 
weapons. 
(22) It is appropriate to pursue a policy of cau-
tious and deliberate re-engagement with Libya based 
upon verifiable results, but the United States should 
not restore full diplomatic relations with Libya un-
less and until Libya has—
(A) agreed and submitted to comprehen-
sive monitoring of the full dismantling of its 
weapons of mass destruction programs;
HR 4548 RFS 
(B) severed all links to and support for 
acts of international terrorism; 
(C) ceased all support for insurgency 
groups which have destabilized countries in Af-
rica; 
(D) demonstrated respect for human rights 
and the rule of law; 
(E) implemented its pledge to cooperate in 
the further investigation of the destruction of 
Pan Am Flight 103; and 
(F) settled all legal claims relating to past 
acts of international terrorism, including but 
not limited to the bombings of Pan Am Flight 
103 and the La Belle Discotheque. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) the world has been made safer with the dis-
mantling and removal of Libya’s weapons of mass 
destruction and the means to deliver them; 
(2) this would not have been possible if not for 
decades of United States and multilateral sanctions 
against Libya, the demonstrated resolve of the 
United States in the global war on terror, and in the 
liberation of Iraq by United States and Coalition 
Forces;
HR 4548 RFS 
(3) the President and previous Administrations 
should be commended for having the courage to un-
dertake those policies which persuaded Libya to 
agree to relinquish such weapons; and 
(4) other countries such as Iran, Syria, and 
North Korea, should follow Libya’s example, and 
voluntarily dismantle their weapons of mass destruc-
tion and submit their programs to international in-
spections.
SEC. 306. SENSE OF CONGRESS THAT THE APPREHENSION, 
DETENTION, AND INTERROGATION OF TER-
RORISTS ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO THE SUC-
CESSFUL PROSECUTION OF THE GLOBAL 
WAR ON TERROR. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 
(1) Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the peo-
ple of the United States were too often brutalized 
again and again by deadly terrorist violence, as evi-
denced by the hundreds of American deaths in the 
Beirut and Lockerbie bombings, the attack on the 
World Trade Center in 1993, the destruction of the 
Khobar Towers military barracks, the bombing of 
the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, 
and the vicious attacks on the USS Cole in 2000.
HR 4548 RFS 
(2) The terrorist violence targeted against the 
United States became more emboldened after each 
attack, culminating in the deadly attacks on the 
World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sep-
tember 11, 2001, which killed thousands of innocent 
Americans, including innocent women and children. 
(3) Since September 11, 2001, the citizens of 
the United States have remained the priority target 
of terrorist violence, with journalists and employees 
of non-governmental organizations being held hos-
tage, tortured, and decapitated in the name of ter-
ror. 
(4) Congress has authorized the President to 
use all necessary and appropriate means to defeat 
terrorism ; and on numerous occasions since Sep-
tember 11, 2001, and throughout the Global War on 
Terror, the interrogation of detainees has yielded 
valuable intelligence that has saved the lives of 
American military personnel and American citizens 
at home and abroad. 
(5) The interrogation of detainees has also pro-
vided highly valuable insights into the structure of 
terrorist organizations, their target selection process, 
and the identities of key operational and logistical
HR 4548 RFS 
personnel that were previously unknown to the Intel-
ligence Community. 
(6) The lawful interrogation of detainees is con-
sistent with the United States Constitution. 
(7) The abuses against detainees documented at 
Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq were deplorable aberra-
tions that were not part of United States policy and 
were not in keeping with the finest traditions of the 
United States military and the honorable men and 
women who serve. 
(8) The loss of interrogation-derived informa-
tion would have a disastrous effect on the Nation’s 
intelligence collection and counterterrorism efforts 
and would constitute a damaging reversal in the 
Global War on Terror during this critical time. 
(9) The apprehension, detention, and interroga-
tion of terrorists are essential elements to success-
fully waging the Global War on Terror. 
(10) The interrogation of detainees can and 
should continue by the United States within the 
bounds of the United States Constitution and the 
laws of the United States of America. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the apprehension, detention, and interrogation
HR 4548 RFS 
of terrorists are fundamental to the successful prosecution 
of the Global War on Terror.
SEC. 307. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SUPPORT FOR THE EF-
FORTS OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 
(1) The men and women of the intelligence 
community are the backbone of the Nation’s efforts 
to gather and collect the intelligence which is vital 
to the national security of the United States. 
(2) The men and women of the intelligence 
community are great patriots who perform their jobs 
without fan fair and all too often without receiving 
the proper credit. 
(3) The men and women of the intelligence 
community are combating vastly different threats to 
the Nation’s security compared to their Cold War 
colleagues. 
(4) Threats to the United States have evolved 
through the use of technology and non-state actions, 
demanding alternatives to traditional diplomatic ac-
tions. 
(5) The 1995 ‘‘Deutch Guidelines’’ regarding 
the recruitment of foreign assets impeded human in-
telligence collection efforts and contributed to the 
creation of a risk averse environment. Despite re-
HR 4548 RFS 
peated efforts by the intelligence oversight commit-
tees of Congress to convince the Director of Central 
Intelligence to drop the guidelines, these guidelines 
stood until formally repealed in 2001 by an Act of 
Congress. 
(6) The President’s budget request for the in-
telligence community fell by 11 percent from 1993 
to 1995. 
(7) Congress cut the President’s budget request 
for the intelligence community each year from 1992 
through 1994. 
(8) The cutbacks in resources and political sup-
port during the middle of the previous decade has 
caused nearly irreversible damage. 
(9) Widespread risk aversion in clandestine 
HUMINT collection and intelligence analysis re-
sulted from lack of resources and, more importantly, 
of political support for the mission during the middle 
of the previous decade. 
(10) Unnecessarily cumbersome legal impedi-
ments to the clandestine HUMINT collection mis-
sion were raised during the middle of the previous 
decade, leaving our intelligence officers unable to 
penetrate legitimate target organizations, such as 
terrorist groups.
HR 4548 RFS 
(11) Congress and the current President have 
worked cooperatively to restore funding, personnel 
levels, and political support for intelligence. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) the intelligence community should be revi-
talized by investing in the missions, people, and ca-
pabilities of the community; and 
(2) the efforts of the men and women of the in-
telligence community should be recognized and com-
mended.
SEC. 308. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
It is the Sense of Congress that the head of each ele-
ment of the intelligence community, including the Central 
Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
and the intelligence elements of the Department of De-
fense, the Department of State, and the Department of 
the Treasury should make available upon a request from 
a committee of Congress with jurisdiction over matters re-
lating to the Office of the Iraq Oil-for-Food Program of 
the United Nations, any information and documents in the 
possession or control of such element in connection with 
any investigation of that Office by such a committee.
