TITLE 
XXVI—COUNTERTER-
RORISM SCREENING AND AS-
SISTANCE 
SEC. 2601. FOREIGN PARTNER ENGAGEMENT PLAN. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the final report of 
the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of 
Representatives bipartisan ‘‘Task Force on Combating 
Terrorist and Foreign Fighter Travel’’, Congress makes 
the following findings: 
(1) It is important for the national security of 
the United States to assist foreign partners in clos-
ing security gaps which may allow terrorists and for-
eign fighters to travel internationally, avoiding de-
tection. 
(2) Building foreign partner capacity to combat 
terrorist travel helps extend the United States secu-

rity beyond its border to mitigate threats before they 
reach the United States. 
(3) United States Government departments and 
agencies have spent billions of dollars to help foreign 
partners improve their security against terrorist 
travel since the attacks of September 11, 2001, in-
cluding through the provision of technical assistance, 
equipment, training, and other tools. 
(4) The lack of a United States Government-
wide, risk-based approach increases the odds that 
systematic security gaps abroad may persist and 
that United States response efforts will not be maxi-
mized in order to close these gaps. 
(5) Failure to effectively coordinate capacity- 
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 
United States Government departments and agencies as 
well as with foreign implementing partners, and assistance 
should be prioritized for the highest-risk countries for 
travel by terrorists and foreign fighters.
