SEC. 163. REFORM OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Covert operations tend to be highly tactical 
and require close attention. The Central Intelligence 
Agency should retain responsibility for the direction 
and execution of clandestine and covert operations. 
The Central Intelligence Agency should also con-
centrate on building capabilities to carry out such 
operations and on providing personnel who will be 
directing and executing such operations in the field. 
(2) The reconstitution of the analytic and 
human intelligence collection capabilities of the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency requires the undiverted at-
tention of the head of the Central Intelligence Agen-
cy. 
(b) TRANSFORMATION OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE 
AGENCY.—The Director of the Central Intelligence Agen-
cy shall transform the intelligence and intelligence-related 
capabilities of the Central Intelligence Agency by—
(1) building the human intelligence capabilities 
of the clandestine service;
(2) building the analytic capabilities of the 
Agency; 
(3) developing a stronger language program; 
(4) renewing emphasis on the recruitment of 
operations officers of diverse background who can 
blend in more easily in foreign cities; 
(5) ensuring a seamless relationship between 
human source collection and signals collection at the 
operational level; and 
(6) providing for a better balance between uni-
lateral operations and liaison operations. 
(c) RETENTION OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLANDES-
TINE
AND COVERT OPERATIONS.—The Central Intel-
ligence Agency shall retain responsibility for the direction 
and execution of clandestine and covert operations as au-
thorized by the President or the National Intelligence Di-
rector and assigned by a national intelligence center. 
SEC. 164. PARAMILITARY OPERATIONS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Prior to September 11, 2001, the Central 
Intelligence Agency relied on proxies to conduct 
paramilitary operations, with unsatisfactory results.
(2) The United States cannot afford to build 
two separate capabilities for carrying out para-
military operations, and therefore should concentrate 
responsibility and necessary legal authority for such 
operations in one entity. 
(3) In conducting future paramilitary oper-
ations, Central Intelligence Agency experts should be 
integrated into military training, exercises, and plan-
ning, and lead responsibility for directing and exe-
cuting paramilitary operations should rest with the 
Department of Defense. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS ON LEAD RESPONSIBILITY 
FOR PARAMILITARY OPERATIONS.—The Secretary of De-
fense should have lead responsibility for directing and exe-
cuting paramilitary operations, whether clandestine or 
covert. 
(c) SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DISCHARGE THROUGH 
SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND.—In carrying out the 
responsibility under subsection (b) the Secretary of De-
fense should—
(1) assign the Special Operations Command 
lead responsibility within the Department of Defense 
for paramilitary operations; and
(2) consolidate responsibility for such oper-
ations with the capabilities for training, direction, 
and execution of such operations. 
(d) SENSE OF CONGRESS ON JOINT PLANNING.—
The Secretary of Defense and the Director of the Central 
Intelligence Agency should work jointly to plan para-
military operations. 
(e) PARAMILITARY OPERATIONS DEFINED.—In this 
section, the term ‘‘paramilitary operations’’ means oper-
ations that, by their tactics and requirements in military-
type personnel, equipment, and training, approximate con-
ventional military operations, but that are distinguished 
from conventional military operations through reliance on 
light infantry, less capability to carry out sustained com-
bat operations involving heavy weapons and less capability 
of sustaining long-term logistical support. 
SEC. 165. IMPROVEMENT OF INTELLIGENCE CAPABILITIES 
OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGA-
TION. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The Federal Bureau of Investigation has 
made significant progress in improving its intel-
ligence capabilities.
(2) The Federal Bureau of Investigation must 
fully institutionalize the shift of the Bureau to a 
preventive counterterrorism posture. 
(b) IMPROVEMENT

ingful assignments in criminal justice matters and in na-
tional security matters. 
(4) The Director shall—
(A) require agents and analysts of the Bureau 
to specialize in either criminal justice matters or na-
tional security matters; and 
(B) in furtherance of the requirement under 
subparagraph (A) and to the maximum extent prac-
ticable, afford agents and analysts of the Bureau the 
opportunity to work in the specialty selected by such 
agents and analysts over their entire career with the 
Bureau. 
(5) The Director shall carry out a program to en-
hance the capacity of the Bureau to recruit and retain 
individuals with backgrounds in intelligence, international 
relations, language, technology, and other skills relevant 
to the intelligence and national security missions of the 
Bureau. 
(6) The Director shall, to the maximum extent prac-
ticable, afford the analysts of the Bureau training and ca-
reer opportunities commensurate with the training and ca-

training courses, and of one or more assignments to an-
other element of the intelligence community, is a pre-
condition to advancement to higher level national security 
assignments within the Bureau. 
(d) FIELD OFFICE MATTERS.—(1) In improving the 
intelligence capabilities of the Federal Bureau of Inves-

TITLE II—INFORMATION 
SHARING 
SEC. 201. INFORMATION SHARING. 
(a) DEFINITIONS.—In this section: 
(1) NETWORK.—The term ‘‘Network’’ means 
the Information Sharing Network described in sub-
section (c). 
(2) TERRORISM INFORMATION.—The term ‘‘ter-
rorism information’’ means all information, whether 
collected, produced, or distributed by intelligence, 
law enforcement, military, homeland security, or 
other activities, relating to—
(A) the existence, organization, capabili-
ties, plans, intentions, vulnerabilities, means of 
finance or material support, or activities of for-
eign or international terrorist groups or individ-
uals, or of domestic groups or individuals in-
volved in transnational terrorism; 
(B) threats posed by such groups or indi-
viduals to the United States, United States per-
sons, or United States interests, or to those of 
other nations; 
(C) communications of or by such groups 
or individuals; or
118
(D) information relating to groups or indi-
viduals reasonably believed to be assisting or 
associated with such groups or individuals. 
(b) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The effective use of information, from all 
available sources, is essential to the fight against 
terror and the protection of our homeland. The big-
gest impediment to all-source analysis, and to a 
greater likelihood of ‘‘connecting the dots’’, is resist-
ance to sharing information. 
(2) The United States Government has access 
to a vast amount of information, including not only 
traditional intelligence but also other government 
databases, such as those containing customs or im-
migration information. But the United States Gov-
ernment has a weak system for processing and using 
the information it has. 
(3) In the period leading up to September 11, 
2001, there were instances of potentially helpful in-
formation that was available but that no person 
knew to ask for; information that was distributed 
only in compartmented channels; and information 
that was requested but could not be shared.
119
(4) Current security requirements nurture over-
classification and excessive compartmentalization of 
information among agencies. Each agency’s incentive 
structure opposes sharing, with risks, including 
criminal, civil, and administrative sanctions, but few 
rewards for sharing information. 
(5) The current system, in which each intel-
ligence agency has its own security practices, re-
quires a demonstrated ‘‘need to know’’ before shar-
ing. This approach assumes that it is possible to 
know, in advance, who will need to use the informa-
tion. An outgrowth of the cold war, such a system 
implicitly assumes that the risk of inadvertent dis-
closure outweighs the benefits of wider sharing. 
Such assumptions are no longer appropriate. Al-
though counterintelligence concerns are still real, the 
costs of not sharing information are also substantial. 
The current ‘‘need-to-know’’ culture of information 
protection needs to be replaced with a ‘‘need-to-
share’’ culture of integration. 
(6) A new approach to the sharing of terrorism 
information is urgently needed. An important con-
ceptual model for a new ‘‘trusted information net-
work’’ is the Systemwide Homeland Analysis and 
Resource Exchange (SHARE) Network proposed by
120
a task force of leading professionals assembled by 
the Markle Foundation and described in reports 
issued in October 2002 and December 2003. 
(7) No single agency can create a meaningful 
information sharing system on its own. Alone, each 
agency can only modernize stovepipes, not replace 
them. Presidential leadership is required to bring 
about governmentwide change. 
(c) INFORMATION SHARING NETWORK.—
(1) ESTABLISHMENT.—The President shall es-
tablish an information sharing network to promote 
the sharing of terrorism information, in a manner 
consistent with national security and the protection 
of privacy and civil liberties. 
(2) ATTRIBUTES.—The Network shall promote 
coordination, communication and collaboration of 
people and information among all relevant Federal 
departments and agencies, State, tribal, and local 
authorities, and relevant private sector entities, in-
cluding owners and operators of critical infrastruc-
ture, by using policy guidelines and technologies that 
support—
(A) a decentralized, distributed, and co-
ordinated environment that connects existing 
systems where appropriate and allows users to
121
share information horizontally across agencies, 
vertically between levels of government, and, as 
appropriate, with the private sector; 
(B) building on existing systems capabili-
ties at relevant agencies; 
(C) utilizing industry best practices, in-
cluding minimizing the centralization of data 
and seeking to use common tools and capabili-
ties whenever possible; 
(D) employing an information rights man-
agement approach that controls access to data 
rather than to whole networks; 
(E) facilitating the sharing of information 
at and across all levels of security by using pol-
icy guidelines and technologies that support 
writing information that can be broadly shared; 
(F) providing directory services for locat-
ing people and information; 
(G) incorporating protections for individ-
uals’ privacy and civil liberties; 
(H) incorporating mechanisms for informa-
tion security; and 
(I) access controls, authentication and au-
thorization, audits, and other strong mecha-
nisms for information security and privacy
122
guideline enforcement across all levels of secu-
rity, in order to enhance accountability and fa-
cilitate oversight. 
(d) IMMEDIATE STEPS.—Not later than 90 days after 
the date of enactment of this Act, the President, through 
the Director of Management and Budget and in consulta-
tion with the National Intelligence Director, the Attorney 
General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Sec-
retary of Defense, the Secretary of State, the Director of 
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Director of the 
Central Intelligence Agency, and such other Federal offi-
cials as the President shall designate, shall—
(1) establish electronic directory services to as-
sist in locating in the Federal Government terrorism 
information and people with relevant knowledge 
about terrorism information; and 
(2) conduct a review of relevant current Federal 
agency capabilities, including a baseline inventory of 
current Federal systems that contain terrorism in-
formation, the money currently spent to maintain 
those systems, and identification of other informa-
tion that should be included in the Network. 
(e) GUIDELINES.—As soon as possible, but in no 
event later than 180 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act, the President shall—
123
(1) in consultation with the National Intel-
ligence Director and the Advisory Council on Infor-
mation Sharing established in subsection (g), issue 
guidelines for acquiring, accessing, sharing, and 
using terrorism information, including guidelines to 
ensure such information is provided in its most 
shareable form, such as by separating out data from 
the sources and methods by which they are obtained; 
(2) in consultation with the Privacy and Civil 
Liberties Oversight Board established under section 
901, issue guidelines that—
(A) protect privacy and civil liberties in the 
development and use of the Network; and 
(B) shall be made public, unless, and only 
to the extent that, nondisclosure is clearly nec-
essary to protect national security;

TITLE III—CONGRESSIONAL 
REFORM 
SEC. 301. FINDINGS. 
Consistent with the report of the National Commis-
sion on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Con-
gress makes the following findings: 
(1) The American people are not served well by 
current congressional rules and resolutions gov-
erning intelligence and homeland security oversight. 
(2) A unified Executive Branch effort on fight-
ing terrorism will not be effective unless it is 
matched by a unified effort in Congress, specifically 
a strong, stable, and capable congressional com-
mittee structure to give the intelligence agencies and 
Department of Homeland Security sound oversight, 
support, and leadership. 
(3) The intelligence committees of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives are not organized 
to provide strong leadership and oversight for intel-
ligence and counterterrorism. 
(4) Jurisdiction over the Department of Home-
land Security, which is scattered among many com-
mittees in each chamber, does not allow for the clear 
authority and responsibility needed for effective con-
gressional oversight.
136
(5) Congress should either create a new, joint 
Senate-House intelligence authorizing committee 
modeled on the former Joint Committee on Atomic 
Energy, or establish new intelligence committees in 
each chamber with combined authorization and ap-
propriations authority. 
(6) Congress should establish a single, principal 
point of oversight and review in each chamber for 
the Department of Homeland Security and the re-
port of the National Commission on Terrorist At-
tacks Upon the United States stated that ‘‘Congres-
sional leaders are best able to judge what committee 
should have jurisdiction over this department and its 
duties.’’. 
(7) In August 2004, the joint Senate leadership 
created a bipartisan working group to examine how 
best to implement the Commission’s recommenda-
tions with respect to reform of the Senate’s over-
sight of intelligence and homeland security, and di-
rected the working group to begin its work imme-
diately and to present its findings and recommenda-
tions to Senate leadership as expeditiously as pos-
sible.
137
SEC. 302. REORGANIZATION OF CONGRESSIONAL JURIS-
DICTION. 
The 108th Congress shall not adjourn until each 
House of Congress has adopted the necessary changes to 
its rules such that, effective the start of the 109th Con-
gress—
(1) jurisdiction over proposed legislation, mes-
sages, petitions, memorials, and other matters relat-
ing to the Department of Homeland Security shall 
be consolidated in a single committee in each House 
and such committee shall have a nonpartisan staff; 
and 
(2) jurisdiction over proposed legislation, mes-
sages, petitions, memorials, and other matters re-
lated to intelligence shall reside in—
(A) either a joint Senate-House author-
izing committee modeled on the former Joint 
Committee on Atomic Energy, or a committee 
in each chamber with combined authorization 
and appropriations authority; and 
(B) regardless of which committee struc-
ture is selected, the intelligence committee or 
committees shall have—
(i) not more than 9 members in each 
House, who shall serve without term limits 
and of which at least 1 each shall also
138
serve on a committee on Armed Services, 
Judiciary, and Foreign Affairs and at least 
1 on a Defense Appropriations sub-
committee; 
(ii) authority to issue subpoenas; 
(iii) majority party representation 
that does not exceed minority party rep-
resentation by more than 1 member in 
each House, and a nonpartisan staff; and 
(iv) a subcommittee devoted solely to 
oversight.

TITLE V—THE ROLE OF DIPLO-
MACY, 
FOREIGN 
AID, 
AND 
THE MILITARY IN THE WAR 
ON TERRORISM 
SEC. 501. REPORT ON TERRORIST SANCTUARIES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Complex terrorist operations require loca-
tions that provide such operations sanctuary from 
interference by government or law enforcement per-
sonnel. 
(2) A terrorist sanctuary existed in Afghanistan 
before September 11, 2001. 
(3) The terrorist sanctuary in Afghanistan pro-
vided direct and indirect value to members of al 
Qaeda who participated in the terrorist attacks on 
the United States on September 11, 2001 and in 
other terrorist operations. 
(4) Terrorist organizations have fled to some of 
the least governed and most lawless places in the 
world to find sanctuary. 
(5) During the twenty-first century, terrorists 
are focusing on remote regions and failing states as 
locations to seek sanctuary.
145
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) the United States Government should iden-
tify and prioritize locations that are or that could be 
used as terrorist sanctuaries; 
(2) the United States Government should have 
a realistic strategy that includes the use of all ele-
ments of national power to keep possible terrorists 
from using a location as a sanctuary; and 
(3) the United States Government should reach 
out, listen to, and work with countries in bilateral 
and multilateral fora to prevent locations from be-
coming sanctuaries and to prevent terrorists from 
using locations as sanctuaries. 
(c) STRATEGY ON TERRORIST SANCTUARIES.—
(1) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
President shall submit to Congress a report that de-
scribes a strategy for addressing and, where pos-
sible, eliminating terrorist sanctuaries. 
(2) CONTENT.—The report required under this 
section shall include the following: 
(A) A description of actual and potential 
terrorist sanctuaries, together with an assess-
146
ment of the priorities of addressing and elimi-
nating such sanctuaries. 
(B) An outline of strategies for disrupting 
or eliminating the security provided to terrorists 
by such sanctuaries. 
(C) A description of efforts by the United 
States Government to work with other countries 
in bilateral and multilateral fora to address or 
eliminate actual or potential terrorist sanc-
tuaries and disrupt or eliminate the security 
provided to terrorists by such sanctuaries. 
(D) A description of long-term goals and 
actions designed to reduce the conditions that 
allow the formation of terrorist sanctuaries, 
such as supporting and strengthening host gov-
ernments, reducing poverty, increasing eco-
nomic development, strengthening civil society, 
securing borders, strengthening internal secu-
rity forces, and disrupting logistics and commu-
nications networks of terrorist groups. 
SEC. 502. ROLE OF PAKISTAN IN COUNTERING TERRORISM. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings:
147
(1) The Government of Pakistan has a critical 
role to perform in the struggle against Islamist ter-
rorism. 
(2) The endemic poverty, widespread corrup-
tion, and frequent ineffectiveness of government in 
Pakistan create opportunities for Islamist recruit-
ment. 
(3) The poor quality of education in Pakistan 
is particularly worrying, as millions of families send 
their children to madrassahs, some of which have 
been used as incubators for violent extremism. 
(4) The vast unpoliced regions in Pakistan 
make the country attractive to extremists seeking 
refuge and recruits and also provide a base for oper-
ations against coalition forces in Afghanistan. 
(5) A stable Pakistan, with a government advo-
cating ‘‘enlightened moderation’’ in the Muslim 
world, is critical to stability in the region. 
(6) There is a widespread belief among the peo-
ple of Pakistan that the United States has long 
treated them as allies of convenience. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) the United States should make a long-term 
commitment to assisting in ensuring a promising,
148
stable, and secure future in Pakistan, as long as its 
leaders remain committed to combatting extremists 
and implementing a strategy of ‘‘enlightened mod-
eration’’; 
(2) the United States aid to Pakistan should be 
fulsome and, at a minimum, sustained at the fiscal 
year 2004 levels; 
(3) the United States should support the Gov-
ernment of Pakistan with a comprehensive effort 
that extends from military aid to support for better 
education; and 
(4) the United States Government should de-
vote particular attention and resources to assisting 
in the improvement of the quality of education in 
Pakistan. 
(c) REPORT ON SUPPORT FOR PAKISTAN.—
(1) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
President shall submit to Congress a report on the 
efforts of the United States Government to support 
Pakistan and encourage moderation in that country. 
(2) CONTENT.—The report required under this 
section shall include the following: 
(A) An examination of the desirability of

149
rect resources toward improving the quality of 
secondary schools in Pakistan.

essary to provide various levels of educational 
support. 
(C) An examination of the current com-
position and levels of United States military aid 
to Pakistan, together with any recommenda-
tions for changes in such levels and composition 
that the President considers appropriate. 
(D) An examination of other major types 
of United States financial support to Pakistan, 
together with any recommendations for changes 
in the levels and composition of such support 
that the President considers appropriate. 
SEC. 503. AID TO AFGHANISTAN. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The United States and its allies in the 
international community have made progress in pro-
moting economic and political reform within Afghan-
istan, including the establishment of a central gov-
ernment with a democratic constitution, a new cur-
rency, and a new army, the increase of personal
150
freedom, and the elevation of the standard of living 
of many Afghans. 
(2) A number of significant obstacles must be 
overcome if Afghanistan is to become a secure and 
prosperous democracy, and such a transition de-
pends in particular upon—
(A) improving security throughout the 
country; 
(B) disarming and demobilizing militias; 
(C) curtailing the rule of the warlords; 
(D) promoting equitable economic develop-
ment; 
(E) protecting the human rights of the 
people of Afghanistan; 
(F) holding elections for public office; and 
(G) ending the cultivation and trafficking 
of narcotics. 
(3) The United States and the international 
community must make a long-term commitment to 
addressing the deteriorating security situation in Af-
ghanistan and the burgeoning narcotics trade, en-
demic poverty, and other serious problems in Af-
ghanistan in order to prevent that country from re-
lapsing into a sanctuary for international terrorism.
151
(b) POLICY.—It shall be the policy of the United 
States to take the following actions with respect to Af-
ghanistan: 
(1) Working with other nations to obtain long-
term security, political, and financial commitments 
and fulfillment of pledges to the Government of Af-
ghanistan to accomplish the objectives of the Af-
ghanistan Freedom Support Act of 2002 (22 U.S.C. 
7501 et seq.), especially to ensure a secure, demo-
cratic, and prosperous Afghanistan that respects the 
rights of its citizens and is free of international ter-
rorist organizations. 
(2) Using the voice and vote of the United 
States in relevant international organizations, in-
cluding the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and 
the United Nations Security Council, to strengthen 
international commitments to assist the Government 
of Afghanistan in enhancing security, building na-
tional police and military forces, increasing counter-
narcotics efforts, and expanding infrastructure and 
public services throughout the country. 
(3) Taking appropriate steps to increase the as-
sistance provided under programs of the Department 
of State and the United States Agency for Inter-
national Development throughout Afghanistan and
152
to increase the number of personnel of those agen-
cies in Afghanistan as necessary to support the in-
creased assistance.

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.
159
(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
160
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 
President shall submit to Congress a report that 
contains a cohesive long-term strategy for the 
United States Government to help win the struggle 
of ideas in the Islamic world. 
(2) CONTENT.—The report required under this 
section shall include the following: 
(A) A description of specific goals related 
to winning this struggle of ideas. 
(B) A description of the range of tools 
available to the United States Government to 
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.
161
(D) A description of any additional re-
sources that may be necessary to help win this 
struggle of ideas. 
(E) Any recommendations for the creation 
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. 
(F) An estimate of the level of United 
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-
162
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;
164
(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

through broadcast media.

following: 
(A) The initiatives of the Broadcasting 
Board of Governors and the public diplomacy 
activities of the Department of State with re-
spect to outreach to foreign Muslim audiences.

(B) An outline of recommended actions 
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

tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Education that teaches tolerance, the dig-
nity and value of each individual, and respect for 
different beliefs is a key element in any global strat-
egy to eliminate Islamist terrorism. 
(2) Education in the Middle East about the 
world outside that region is weak. 
(3) The United Nations has rightly equated lit-
eracy with freedom. 
(4) The international community is moving to-
ward setting a concrete goal of reducing by half the 
illiteracy rate in the Middle East by 2010, through 
the implementation of education programs targeting 
women and girls and programs for adult literacy, 
and by other means. 
(5) To be effective, the effort to improve edu-
cation in the Middle East must also include—
178

cation tools, such as textbooks that translate 
more of the world’s knowledge into local lan-
guages and local libraries to house such mate-
rials; and

State, in coordination with the Administrator of

shall consider whether the government of that

ance, the dignity and value of each individual, 
and respect for different beliefs. 
(4) USE OF FUNDS.—Financial assistance pro-
vided through the Fund shall be used for expanding 
literacy programs, providing textbooks, reducing the 
digital divide, expanding vocational and business 
education, constructing and operating public schools,

180
cation that teaches tolerance, the dignity and value 
of each individual, and respect for different beliefs. 
(c) REPORT.—

SEC. 510. REPORT ON THE USE OF ECONOMIC POLICIES TO 
COMBAT TERRORISM. 
(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 terrorism is not caused by poverty, 
breeding grounds for terrorism are created by back-
ward economic policies and repressive political re-
gimes.
182
(2) Policies that support economic development 
and reform also have political implications, as eco-
nomic and political liberties are often linked. 
(3) The United States is working toward cre-
ating a Middle East Free Trade Area by 2013 and 
implementing a free trade agreement with Bahrain, 
and free trade agreements exist between the United 
States and Israel and the United States and Jordan. 
(4) Existing and proposed free trade agree-
ments between the United States and Islamic coun-
tries are drawing interest from other countries in 
the Middle East region, and Islamic countries can 
become full participants in the rules-based global 
trading system, as the United States considers low-
ering its barriers to trade with the poorest Arab 
countries. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) a comprehensive United States strategy to 
counter terrorism should include economic policies 
that encourage development, open societies, and op-
portunities for people to improve the lives of their 
families and to enhance prospects for their children’s 
future;
183
(2) 1 element of such a strategy should encom-
pass the lowering of trade barriers with the poorest 
countries that have a significant population of Arab 
or Muslim individuals; 
(3) another element of such a strategy should 
encompass United States efforts to promote eco-
nomic reform in countries that have a significant 
population of Arab or Muslim individuals, including 
efforts to integrate such countries into the global 
trading system; and 
(4) given the importance of the rule of law in 
promoting economic development and attracting in-
vestment, the United States should devote an in-
creased proportion of its assistance to countries in 
the Middle East to the promotion of the rule of law. 
(c) REPORT.—
(1) IN
GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
President shall submit to Congress a report on the 
efforts of the United States Government to encour-
age development and promote economic reform in 
countries that have a significant population of Arab 
or Muslim individuals. 
(2) CONTENT.—The report required under this 
subsection shall describe—
184
(A) efforts to integrate countries with sig-
nificant populations of Arab or Muslim individ-
uals into the global trading system; and 
(B) actions that the United States Govern-
ment, acting alone and in partnership with 
other governments in the Middle East, can take 
to promote intra-regional trade and the rule of 
law in the region. 
SEC. 511. MIDDLE EAST PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE. 
(a) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There is 
authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 2005 
$200,000,000 for the Middle East Partnership Initiative. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that, given the importance of the rule of law and 
economic reform to development in the Middle East, a sig-
nificant portion of the funds authorized to be appropriated 
under subsection (a) should be made available to promote 
the rule of law in the Middle East. 
SEC. 512. COMPREHENSIVE COALITION STRATEGY FOR 
FIGHTING TERRORISM. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings:
185
(1) Almost every aspect of the counterterrorism 
strategy of the United States relies on international 
cooperation. 
(2) Since September 11, 2001, the number and 
scope of United States Government contacts with 
foreign governments concerning counterterrorism 
have expanded significantly, but such contacts have 
often been ad hoc and not integrated as a com-
prehensive and unified approach. 
(b) 
INTERNATIONAL
CONTACT
GROUP
ON 
COUNTERTERRORISM.—
(1) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of 
Congress that the President—
(A) should seek to engage the leaders of 
the governments of other countries in a process 
of advancing beyond separate and uncoordi-
nated national counterterrorism strategies to 
develop with those other governments a com-
prehensive coalition strategy to fight Islamist 
terrorism; and 
(B) to that end, should seek to establish 
an international counterterrorism policy contact 
group with the leaders of governments pro-
viding leadership in global counterterrorism ef-
forts and governments of countries with sizable
186
Muslim populations, to be used as a ready and 
flexible international means for discussing and 
coordinating the development of important 
counterterrorism policies by the participating 
governments. 
(2) AUTHORITY.—The President is authorized 
to establish an international counterterrorism policy 
contact group with the leaders of governments re-
ferred to in paragraph (1) for purposes as follows: 
(A) To develop in common with such other 
countries important policies and a strategy that 
address the various components of international 
prosecution of the war on terrorism, including 
policies and a strategy that address military 
issues, law enforcement, the collection, analysis, 
and dissemination of intelligence, issues relating 
to 
interdiction 
of 
travel 
by 
terrorists, 
counterterrorism-related customs issues, finan-
cial issues, and issues relating to terrorist sanc-
tuaries. 
(B) To address, to the extent (if any) that 
the President and leaders of other participating 
governments determine appropriate, such long-
term issues as economic and political reforms
187
that can contribute to strengthening stability 
and security in the Middle East. 
SEC. 513. DETENTION AND HUMANE TREATMENT OF CAP-
TURED TERRORISTS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Carrying out the global war on terrorism re-
quires the development of policies with respect to the 
detention and treatment of captured international 
terrorists that is adhered to by all coalition forces. 
(2) Article 3 of the Convention Relative to the 
Treatment of Prisoners of War, done at Geneva Au-
gust 12, 1949 (6 UST 3316) was specifically de-
signed for cases in which the usual rules of war do 
not apply, and the minimum standards of treatment 
pursuant to such Article are generally accepted 
throughout the world as customary international 
law. 
(b) DEFINITIONS.—In this section: 
(1) CRUEL, INHUMAN, OR DEGRADING TREAT-
MENT OR PUNISHMENT.—The term ‘‘cruel, inhuman, 
or degrading treatment or punishment’’ means the 
cruel, unusual, and inhumane treatment or punish-
188
ment prohibited by the 5th amendment, 8th amend-
ment, or 14th amendment to the Constitution. 
(2) GENEVA CONVENTIONS.—The term ‘‘Gene-
va Conventions’’ means— 
(A) the Convention for the Amelioration of 
the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in 
Armed Forces in the Field, done at Geneva Au-
gust 12, 1949 (6 UST 3114); 
(B) the Convention for the Amelioration of 
the Condition of the Wounded, Sick, and Ship-
wrecked Members of Armed Forces at Sea, 
done at Geneva August 12, 1949 (6 UST 
3217); 
(C) the Convention Relative to the Treat-
ment of Prisoners of War, done at Geneva Au-
gust 12, 1949 (6 UST 3316); and 
(D) the Convention Relative to the Protec-
tion of Civilian Persons in Time of War, done 
at Geneva August 12, 1949 (6 UST 3516). 
(3) PRISONER.—The term ‘‘prisoner’’ means a 
foreign individual captured, detained, interned, or 
otherwise held in the custody of the United States. 
(4) SECRETARY.—The term ‘‘Secretary’’ means 
the Secretary of Defense.
189
(5) TORTURE.—The term ‘‘torture’’ has the 
meaning given that term in section 2340 of title 18, 
United States Code. 
(c) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) the United States should engage countries 
that are participating in the coalition to fight ter-
rorism to develop a common approach toward the 
detention and humane treatment of captured inter-
national terrorists; and 
(2) an approach toward the detention and hu-
mane treatment of captured international terrorists 
developed by the countries participating in the coali-
tion to fight terrorism could draw upon Article 3 of 
the Convention Relative to the Treatment of Pris-
oners of War, the principles of which are commonly 
accepted as minimum basic standards for humane 
treatment of captured individuals. 
(d) POLICY.—It is the policy of the United States—
(1) to treat any prisoner humanely and in ac-
cordance with standards that the Government of the 
United States would determine to be consistent with 
international law if such standards were applied to 
personnel of the United States captured by an 
enemy in the war on terrorism;
190
(2) if there is any doubt as to whether a pris-
oner is entitled to the protections afforded by the 
Geneva Conventions, to provide the prisoner such 
protections until the status of the prisoner is deter-
mined under the procedures authorized by para-
graph 1–6 of Army Regulation 190–8 (1997); and 
(3) to expeditiously prosecute cases of terrorism 
or other criminal acts alleged to have been com-
mitted by prisoners in the custody of the United 
States Armed Forces at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 
order to avoid the indefinite detention of such pris-
oners. 
(e) PROHIBITION ON TORTURE OR CRUEL, INHUMAN, 
OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—No prisoner shall be subject 
to torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment

SEC. 514. PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DE-
STRUCTION. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings:
193
(1) Al Qaeda has tried to acquire or make 
weapons of mass destruction since 1994 or earlier. 
(2) The United States doubtless would be a 
prime target for use of any such weapon by al 
Qaeda. 
(3) Although the United States Government has 
redoubled its international commitments to sup-
porting the programs for Cooperative Threat Reduc-
tion and other nonproliferation assistance programs, 
nonproliferation experts continue to express deep 
concern about the United States Government’s com-
mitment and approach to securing the weapons of 
mass destruction and related highly dangerous mate-
rials that are still scattered among Russia and other 
countries of the former Soviet Union. 
(4) The cost of increased investment in the pre-
vention of proliferation of weapons of mass destruc-
tion and related dangerous materials is greatly out-
weighed by the potentially catastrophic cost to the 
United States of use of weapons of mass destruction 
or related dangerous materials by the terrorists who 
are so eager to acquire them. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
194
(1) maximum effort to prevent the proliferation 
of weapons of mass destruction, wherever such pro-
liferation may occur, is warranted; and 
(2) the programs of the United States Govern-
ment to prevent or counter the proliferation of weap-
ons of mass destruction, including the Proliferation 
Security Initiative, the programs for Cooperative 
Threat Reduction, and other nonproliferation assist-
ance programs, should be expanded, improved, and 
better funded to address the global dimensions of 
the proliferation threat. 
(c) REQUIREMENT FOR STRATEGY.—Not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
President shall submit to Congress—
(1) a strategy for expanding and strengthening 
the Proliferation Security Initiative, the programs 
for Cooperative Threat Reduction, and other non-
proliferation assistance programs; and 
(2) an estimate of the funding necessary to exe-
cute that strategy. 
(d) REPORT
ON REFORMING
THE COOPERATIVE 
THREAT REDUCTION PROGRAM AND OTHER NON-PRO-
LIFERATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS.—Not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
President shall submit to Congress a report evaluating
195
whether the United States could more effectively address 
the global threat of nuclear proliferation by—
(1) establishing a central coordinator for the 
programs for Cooperative Threat Reduction; 
(2) eliminating the requirement that the Presi-
dent spend no more than $50,000,000 annually on 
programs for Cooperative Threat Reduction and 
other non-proliferation assistance programs carried 
out outside the former Soviet Union; or 
(3) repealing the provisions of the Soviet Nu-
clear Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (22 U.S.C. 
2551 note) that place conditions on assistance to the 
former Soviet Union unrelated to bilateral coopera-
tion on weapons dismantlement. 
SEC. 515. FINANCING OF TERRORISM. 
(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 efforts to designate and freeze the as-
sets of terrorist financiers have been relatively un-
successful, efforts to target the relatively small num-
ber of al Qaeda financial facilitators have been valu-
able and successful. 
(2) The death or capture of several important 
financial facilitators has decreased the amount of
196
money available to al Qaeda, and has made it more 
difficult for al Qaeda to raise and move money. 
(3) 
The 
capture 
of 
al 
Qaeda 
financial 
facilitators has provided a windfall of intelligence 
that can be used to continue the cycle of disruption. 
(4) The United States Government has rightly 
recognized that information about terrorist money 
helps in understanding terror networks, searching 
them out, and disrupting their operations. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) the primary weapon in the effort to stop 
terrorist financing should be the targeting of ter-
rorist financial facilitators by intelligence and law 
enforcement agencies; and 
(2) efforts to track terrorist financing must be 
paramount in United States counter-terrorism ef-
forts. 
(c) REPORT ON TERRORIST FINANCING.—
(1) IN
GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
President shall submit to Congress a report evalu-
ating the effectiveness of United States efforts to 
curtail the international financing of terrorism.
197
(2) CONTENTS.—The report required by para-
graph (1) shall evaluate and make recommendations 
on—
(A) the effectiveness of efforts and meth-
ods to track terrorist financing; 
(B) ways to improve international govern-
mental cooperation in this effort; 
(C) ways to improve performance of finan-
cial institutions in this effort; 
(D) the adequacy of agency coordination in 
this effort and ways to improve that coordina-
tion; and 
(E) recommendations for changes in law 
and additional resources required to improve 
this effort. 
TITLE VI—TERRORIST TRAVEL 
AND EFFECTIVE SCREENING 
SEC. 601. COUNTERTERRORIST TRAVEL INTELLIGENCE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na-
tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Travel documents are as important to ter-
rorists as weapons since terrorists must travel clan-
destinely to meet, train, plan, case targets, and gain 
access to attack sites.
198
(2) International travel is dangerous for terror-
ists because they must surface to pass through regu-
lated channels, present themselves to border security 
officials, or attempt to circumvent inspection points. 
(3) Terrorists use evasive, but detectable, meth-
ods to travel, such as altered and counterfeit pass-
ports and visas, specific travel methods and routes, 
liaisons with corrupt government officials, human 
smuggling networks, supportive travel agencies, and 
immigration and identity fraud. 
(4) Before September 11, 2001, no Federal 
agency systematically analyzed terrorist travel strat-
egies. If an agency had done so, the agency could 
have discovered the ways in which the terrorist pred-
ecessors to al Qaeda had been systematically, but 
detectably, exploiting weaknesses in our border secu-
rity since the early 1990s. 
(5) Many of the hijackers were potentially vul-
nerable to interception by border authorities. Ana-
lyzing their characteristic travel documents and trav-
el patterns could have allowed authorities to inter-
cept some of the hijackers and a more effective use 
of information available in Government databases 
could have identified some of the hijackers.
199
(6) The routine operations of our immigration 
laws and the aspects of those laws not specifically 
aimed at protecting against terrorism inevitably 
shaped al Qaeda’s planning and opportunities. 
(7) New insights into terrorist travel gained 
since September 11, 2001, have not been adequately 
integrated into the front lines of border security. 
(8) The small classified terrorist travel intel-
ligence collection and analysis program currently in 
place has produced useful results and should be ex-
panded. 
(b) STRATEGY.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 1 year after 
the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
Homeland Security shall submit to Congress unclas-
sified and classified versions of a strategy for com-
bining terrorist travel intelligence, operations, and 
law enforcement into a cohesive effort to intercept 
terrorists, find terrorist travel facilitators, and con-
strain terrorist mobility domestically and inter-
nationally. The report to Congress should include a 
description of the actions taken to implement the 
strategy. 
(2) ACCOUNTABILITY.—The strategy submitted 
under paragraph (1) shall—
200
(A) describe a program for collecting, ana-
lyzing, disseminating, and utilizing information 
and intelligence regarding terrorist travel tac-
tics and methods; and 
(B) outline which Federal intelligence, dip-
lomatic, and law enforcement agencies will be 
held accountable for implementing each element 
of the strategy. 
(3) COORDINATION.—The strategy shall be de-
veloped in coordination with all relevant Federal 
agencies, including—
(A) the National Counterterrorism Center; 
(B) the Department of Transportation;

(E) the Department of Justice; 
(F) the Department of Defense; 
(G) the Federal Bureau of Investigation; 
(H) the Drug Enforcement Agency; and 
(I) the agencies that comprise the intel-
ligence community. 
(4) CONTENTS.—The strategy shall address—
(A) the intelligence and law enforcement 
collection, analysis, operations, and reporting 
required to identify and disrupt terrorist travel
201
practices and trends, and the terrorist travel 
facilitators, document forgers, human smug-
glers, travel agencies, and corrupt border and 
transportation officials who assist terrorists; 
(B) the initial and ongoing training and 
training materials required by consular, border, 
and immigration officials to effectively detect 
and disrupt terrorist travel described under 
subsection (c)(3); 
(C) the new procedures required and ac-
tions 
to 
be 
taken 
to 
integrate 
existing 
counterterrorist travel and mobility intelligence 
into border security processes, including con-
sular, port of entry, border patrol, maritime, 
immigration benefits, and related law enforce-
ment activities; 
(D) the actions required to integrate cur-
rent terrorist mobility intelligence into military 
force protection measures; 
(E) the additional assistance to be given to 
the interagency Human Smuggling and Traf-
ficking Center for purposes of combatting ter-
rorist travel, including further developing and 
expanding enforcement and operational capa-
bilities that address terrorist travel;
202
(F) the additional resources to be given to 
the Directorate of Information and Analysis 
and Infrastructure Protection to aid in the 
sharing of information between the frontline 
border agencies of the Department of Home-
land Security and classified and unclassified 
sources of counterterrorist travel intelligence 
and information elsewhere in the Federal Gov-
ernment, including the Human Smuggling and 
Trafficking Center; 
(G) the development and implementation 
of procedures to enable the Human Smuggling 
and Trafficking Center to timely receive ter-
rorist travel intelligence and documentation ob-
tained at consulates and ports of entry, and by 
law enforcement officers and military personnel; 
(H) the use of foreign and technical assist-
ance to advance border security measures and 
law enforcement operations against terrorist 
travel facilitators; 
(I) the development of a program to pro-
vide each consular, port of entry, and immigra-
tion benefits office with a counterterrorist travel 
expert trained and authorized to use the rel-
evant authentication technologies and cleared to
203
access all appropriate immigration, law enforce-
ment, and intelligence databases; 
(J) the feasibility of digitally transmitting 
passport information to a central cadre of spe-
cialists until such time as experts described 
under subparagraph (I) are available at con-
sular, port of entry, and immigration benefits 
offices; and 
(K) granting consular officers the security 
clearances necessary to access law enforcement 
sensitive databases.
