(1) The Islamic Republic of Pakistan has been 
an invaluable ally of the United States for more 
than 4 decades. 
(2) With the free and fair election of February 
18, 2008, Pakistan returned to civilian rule after al-
most 9 years under a military dictatorship. 
(3) After the September 11, 2001, terrorist at-
tacks against the United States, Pakistan recognized 
the significant challenges emanating from within its 
borders, and chose to partner with the United States 
in its fight against al Qaeda, the Taliban, and other 
extremist and terrorist groups. 
(4) Since 2001, the United States has contrib-
uted more than $10,000,000,000 to Pakistan to 
strengthen Pakistan’s governance, economy, edu-
cation system, healthcare services, and military, so 
as to bring freedom and opportunities to the people 
of Pakistan while helping to combat terrorism and 
to counter a domestic insurgency. 
(5) The United States requires a balanced, inte-
grated, countrywide strategy that targets assistance 
throughout Pakistan and does not disproportionately 
focus on military activities or one particular area or 
province.

(6) Despite apprehending the top leadership of 
al Qaeda—Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, Ramzi bin al- 
Shibh, and Abu Faraj al-Libi—as well as the leader-
ship and rank and file of affiliated terrorist groups, 
Pakistan, particularly the FATA as well as areas 
under central government authority such as Quetta 
in Balochistan and Muridke in Punjab, remains a 
sanctuary for al Qaeda, the Afghan Taliban, and af-
filiated groups from which these groups organize ter-
rorist actions against Pakistan and other countries. 
SEC. 4. DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES. 
Congress declares that the relationship between the 
United States and Pakistan should be based on the fol-
lowing principles: 
(1) Pakistan is an invaluable friend and ally to 
the United States, both in times of strife and in 
times of peace, and the 2 countries share many com-
mon goals, including combating terrorism and vio-
lent radicalism, solidifying democracy and rule of 
law in Pakistan, and promoting the social and mate-
rial well-being of the people of Pakistan. 
(2) The United States seeks a sustained, long- 
term, multifaceted relationship with Pakistan based 
on friendship between the peoples of the 2 countries,

and the mutual interests of stability, security, and 
prosperity. 
(3) It is critical for the United States to sup-
port 
Pakistan’s 
democratic 
government 
and 
strengthen its democratic institutions, including its 
parliament and the judicial system. 
(4) The United States supports Pakistan’s 
struggle against extremist elements and recognizes 
the profound sacrifice made by Pakistan in the fight 
against terrorism, including the loss of more than 
1,600 soldiers since 2001 in combat with al Qaeda, 
the Taliban, and other extremist and terrorist 
groups.
