systematic security gaps abroad may persist and 
that United States response efforts will not be maxi-
mized in order to close these gaps.

building activities also results in greater risk of over-
lap, waste, and unnecessary duplication between the 
United States and international programs. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the United States Government must ensure ca-
pacity-building assistance is coordinated both among

travel by terrorists and foreign fighters.

retary of State shall, in accordance with the protec-
tion of intelligence sources and methods, develop and 
submit to the appropriate congressional committees
