regard to missile defense is in the interest of the United States; 
(2) there does not exist strong enough engagement between 
the United States and Russia with respect to missile defense 
cooperation; 
(3) the United States should explore innovative and non-
traditional means of cooperation with Russia on issues per-
taining to missile defense; and 
(4) as part of such an effort, the Secretary of Defense 
should consider the possibilities for United States-Russian 
cooperation with respect to missile defense through—
(A) the testing of specific elements of the detection 
and tracking equipment of the Missile Defense Agency 
of the United States Department of Defense through the 
use of Russian target missiles;

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Congress that, 
in order to succeed in Iraq—
(1) members of the United States Armed Forces who are 
serving or have served in Iraq and their families deserve the
H. R. 1815—331
utmost respect and the heartfelt gratitude of the American 
people for their unwavering devotion to duty, service to the 
Nation, and selfless sacrifice under the most difficult cir-
cumstances; the United States Congress supports our troops 
and supports a successful conclusion to their mission; 
(2) it is important to recognize that the Iraqi people have 
made enormous sacrifices and that the overwhelming majority 
of Iraqis want to live in peace and security; and that the 
Iraqi security forces in a growing number of incidences are 
fighting side-by-side with coalition forces, are increasing in 
numbers and improving in military capability; 
(3) the terrorists seeking to prevent the emergence of a 
secure, stable, peaceful, and democratic Iraq are led by individ-
uals seeking to restore dictatorship in Iraq or who want to 
advance al Qaeda’s broad vision of violently extreme Islam 
in the Middle East; 
(4) calendar year 2006 should be a period of significant 
transition to full Iraqi sovereignty, with Iraqi security forces 
taking the lead for the security of a free and sovereign Iraq, 
thereby creating the conditions for the phased redeployment 
of United States forces from Iraq; 
(5) United States military forces should not stay in Iraq 
any longer than required and the professional military judg-
ment of our senior military should be a key factor in future 
decisions; 
(6) the Administration should tell the leaders of all groups 
and political parties in Iraq that they need to make the com-
promises necessary to achieve the broad-based and sustainable 
political settlement that is essential for defeating the insur-
gency in Iraq, within the schedule they set for themselves; 
and 
(7) the President has committed to continue to explain 
to Congress and the American people progress toward a success-
ful completion of the mission in Iraq. 
(c) REPORTS TO CONGRESS ON UNITED STATES POLICY AND MILI-
TARY OPERATIONS IN IRAQ.—Not later than 90 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, and every three months thereafter 
until all United States combat brigades have redeployed from Iraq, 
the President shall submit to Congress a report on United States 
policy and military operations in Iraq. To the maximum extent 
practicable, the report required in (c) shall be unclassified, with 
a classified annex if necessary. Each report shall include to the 
extent practical, the following information: 
(1) The current military mission and the diplomatic, polit-
ical, economic, and military measures that are being or have 
been undertaken to successfully complete or support that mis-
sion, including: 
(A) Efforts to convince Iraq’s main communities to 
make the compromises necessary for a broad-based and 
sustainable political settlement. 
(B) Engaging the international community and the 
region in efforts to stabilize Iraq and to forge a broad-

essary to achieve the broad-based and sustainable political

National Forces-Iraq campaign action plan (referred to in

Governance, and Security Indicators to Conditions for Stabi-
lizing Iraq), and any subsequent updates to that campaign 
plan, that must be met in order to provide for the transition 
of additional security responsibility to Iraqi security forces. 
(4) To the extent that these conditions are not covered 
under paragraph (3), the following should also be addressed: 
(A) The number of battalions of the Iraqi Armed Forces 
that must be able to operate independently or to take 
the lead in counterinsurgency operations and the defense 
of Iraq’s territory. 
(B) The number of Iraqi special police units that must 
be able to operate independently or to take the lead in 
maintaining law and order and fighting the insurgency.

and equipped to maintain law and order. 
(D) The ability of Iraq’s Federal ministries and provin-
cial and local governments to independently sustain, direct,

(5) The criteria to be used to evaluate progress toward 
meeting such conditions.
