(4) Efforts to combat poverty and protect the 
environment are hindered by the continued predomi-
nance of oil and natural gas in meeting global en-
ergy needs. Development of renewable energy 
through sustainable practices will help lead to a re-
duction in greenhouse gas emissions and enhance 
international development. 
(5) Cooperation on energy issues between the 
United States Government and the governments of 
foreign countries is critical for securing the strategic 
and economic interests of the United States and of 
partner governments. In the current global energy 
situation, the energy policies and activities of the 
governments of foreign countries can have dramatic 
impacts on United States energy security. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) United States national security requires 
that the United States Government have an energy 
policy that pursues the strategic goal of achieving 
energy security through access to clean, affordable, 
sufficient, reliable, and sustainable sources of en-
ergy; 
(2) achieving energy security is a priority for 
United States foreign policy and requires continued

SEC. 704. STRATEGIC ENERGY PARTNERSHIPS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) United States Government partnership with 
foreign governments and entities, including partner-
ship with the private sector, for securing reliable and 
sustainable energy is imperative to ensuring United 
States security and economic interests, promoting 
international peace and security, expanding inter-
national development, supporting democratic reform, 
fostering economic growth, and safeguarding the en-
vironment.

(2) Democracy and freedom should be promoted 
globally by partnership with foreign governments, in-
cluding in particular governments of emerging de-
mocracies such as those of Ukraine and Georgia, in 
their efforts to reduce their dependency on oil and 
natural gas imports. 
(3) The United States Government and the gov-
ernments of foreign countries have common needs 
for adequate, reliable, affordable, clean, and sustain-
able energy in order to ensure national security, eco-
nomic growth, and high standards of living in their 
countries. Cooperation by the United States Govern-
ment with foreign governments on meeting energy 
security needs is mutually beneficial. United States 
Government partnership with foreign governments 
should include cooperation with major energy con-
suming countries, major energy producing countries, 
and other governments seeking to advance global en-
ergy security through reliable and sustainable 
means. 
(4) The United States Government participates 
in hundreds of bilateral and multilateral energy 
agreements and activities with foreign governments 
and entities. These agreements and activities should 
reflect the strategic need for energy security.
