SEC. 101. DECLARATION OF POLICY.
Congress makes the following declarations:
(1) The United States and the international
community should support efforts that advance the
development of democratic civil authorities and insti-
tutions in Afghanistan and the establishment of a
new broad-based, multi-ethnic, gender-sensitive, and
fully representative government in Afghanistan.
(2) The United States, in particular, should
provide its expertise to meet immediate humani-
tarian and refugee needs, fight the production and
flow of illicit narcotics, and aid in the reconstruction
of Afghanistan’s agriculture, health care, civil serv-
ice, financial, and educational systems.
(3) By promoting peace and security in Afghan-
istan and preventing a return to conflict, the United
States and the international community can help en-
sure that Afghanistan does not again become a
source for international terrorism.
(4) The United States should support the objec-
tives agreed to on December 5, 2001, in Bonn, Ger-
many, regarding the provisional arrangement for Af-
ghanistan as it moves toward the establishment of
permanent institutions and, in particular, should
work intensively toward ensuring the future neu-
trality of Afghanistan, establishing the principle that
neighboring countries and other countries in the re-
gion do not threaten or interfere in one another’s
sovereignty, territorial integrity, or political inde-
pendence, including supporting diplomatic initiatives
to support this goal.
(5) The special emergency situation in Afghani-
stan, which from the perspective of the American
people combines security, humanitarian, political,
law enforcement, and development imperatives, re-
quires that the President should receive maximum
flexibility in designing, coordinating, and admin-
istering efforts with respect to assistance for Af-
ghanistan and that a temporary special program of
such assistance should be established for this pur-
pose.
(6) To foster stability and democratization and
to effectively eliminate the causes of terrorism, the
United States and the international community
should also support efforts that advance the develop-
ment of democratic civil authorities and institutions
in the broader Central Asia region.
SEC. 102. PURPOSES OF ASSISTANCE.
The purposes of assistance authorized by this title
are—
(1) to help assure the security of the United
States and the world by reducing or eliminating the
likelihood of violence against United States or allied
forces in Afghanistan and to reduce the chance that
Afghanistan will again be a source of international
terrorism;
(2) to support the continued efforts of the
United States and the international community to
address the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and
among Afghan refugees in neighboring countries;
(3) to fight the production and flow of illicit
narcotics, to control the flow of precursor chemicals
used in the production of heroin, and to enhance and
bolster the capacities of Afghan governmental au-
thorities to control poppy cultivation and related ac-
tivities;
(4) to help achieve a broad-based, multi-ethnic,
gender-sensitive, and fully representative government
in Afghanistan that is freely chosen by the people of
Afghanistan and that respects the human rights of
all Afghans, particularly women, including author-
izing assistance for the rehabilitation and recon-
struction of Afghanistan with a particular emphasis
on meeting the educational, health, and sustenance
needs of women and children to better enable their
full participation in Afghan society;
(5) to support the Government of Afghanistan
in its development of the capacity to facilitate, orga-
nize, develop, and implement projects and activities
that meet the needs of the Afghan people;
(6) to foster the participation of civil society in
the establishment of the new Afghan government in
order to achieve a broad-based, multiethnic, gender-
sensitive, fully representative government freely cho-
sen by the Afghan people, without prejudice to any
decisions which may be freely taken by the Afghan
people about the precise form in which their govern-
ment is to be organized in the future, as may be de-
cided through the convening of a traditional Afghan
assembly or ‘‘Loya Jirga’’ as agreed to on December
5, 2001, in Bonn, Germany;
(7) to support the reconstruction of Afghani-
stan through, among other things, programs that
create jobs, facilitate clearance of landmines, and re-
build the agriculture sector, the health care system,
and the educational system of Afghanistan; and
(8) to include specific resources to the Ministry
for Women’s Affairs of Afghanistan to carry out its
responsibilities for legal advocacy, education, voca-
tional training, and women’s health programs.
SEC. 103. PRINCIPLES OF ASSISTANCE.
The following principles should guide the provision of
assistance authorized by this title:
(1) TERRORISM
AND
NARCOTICS
CONTROL.—
Assistance should be designed to reduce the likeli-
hood of harm to United States and other allied
forces in Afghanistan and the region, the likelihood
of additional acts of international terrorism ema-
nating from Afghanistan, and the cultivation, pro-
duction, trafficking, and use of illicit narcotics in Af-
ghanistan.
(2) ROLE OF WOMEN.—Assistance should in-
crease the participation of women at the national,
regional, and local levels in Afghanistan, wherever
feasible, by enhancing the role of women in decision-
making processes, as well as by providing support
for programs that aim to expand economic and edu-
cational opportunities and health programs for
women and educational and health programs for
girls.
(3) AFGHAN
OWNERSHIP.—Assistance should
build upon Afghan traditions and practices. The
strong tradition of community responsibility and
self-reliance in Afghanistan should be built upon to
increase the capacity of the Afghan people and insti-
tutions to participate in the reconstruction of Af-
ghanistan.
(4) STABILITY.—Assistance should encourage
the restoration of security in Afghanistan, including,
among other things, the disarmament, demobiliza-
tion, and reintegration of combatants, and the estab-
lishment of the rule of law, including the establish-
ment of a police force and an effective, independent
judiciary.
(5) COORDINATION.—Assistance should be part
of a larger donor effort for Afghanistan. The mag-
nitude of the devastation—natural and man-made—
to institutions and infrastructure make it imperative
that there be close coordination and collaboration
among donors. The United States should endeavor
to assert its leadership to have the efforts of inter-
national donors help achieve the purposes estab-
lished by this title.

SEC. 206. PROMOTING SECURE DELIVERY OF HUMANI-
TARIAN AND OTHER ASSISTANCE IN AFGHAN-
ISTAN.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:
(1) The President has declared his view that
the United States should provide significant assist-
ance to Afghanistan so that it never again becomes
a haven for terrorism.
(2) The delivery of humanitarian and recon-
struction assistance from the international commu-
nity is necessary for the safe return of refugees and
is critical to the future stability of Afghanistan.
(3) Enhanced stability in Afghanistan through
an improved security environment is critical to the
fostering of the Afghan Interim Authority and the
traditional Afghan assembly or ‘‘Loya Jirga’’ proc-
ess, which is intended to lead to a permanent na-
tional government in Afghanistan, and also is essen-
tial for the participation of women in Afghan soci-
ety.
(4) Incidents of violence between armed factions
and local and regional commanders, and serious
abuses of human rights, including attacks on women
and ethnic minorities throughout Afghanistan, cre-
ate an insecure, volatile, and unsafe environment in
parts of Afghanistan, displacing thousands of Af-
ghan civilians from their local communities.
(5) The violence and lawlessness may jeopardize
the ‘‘Loya Jirga’’ process, undermine efforts to build
a strong central government, severely impede recon-
struction and the delivery of humanitarian assist-
ance, and increase the likelihood that parts of Af-
ghanistan will once again become safe havens for
Al–Qaeda, Taliban forces, and drug traffickers.
(6) The lack of security and lawlessness may
also perpetuate the need for United States Armed
Forces in Afghanistan and threaten the ability of
the United States to meet its military objectives.
(7) The International Security Assistance Force
in Afghanistan, currently led by Turkey, and com-
posed of forces from other willing countries without
the participation of United States Armed Forces, is
deployed only in Kabul and currently does not have
the mandate or the capacity to provide security to
other parts of Afghanistan.
(8) Due to the ongoing military campaign in
Afghanistan, the United States does not contribute
troops to the International Security Assistance
Force but has provided support to other countries
that are doing so.
(9) The United States is providing political, fi-
nancial, training, and other assistance to the Afghan
Interim Authority as it begins to build a national
army and police force to help provide security
throughout Afghanistan, but this effort is not meet-
ing the immediate security needs of Afghanistan.
(10) Because of these immediate security needs,
the Afghan Interim Authority, its Chairman, Hamid
Karzai, and many Afghan regional leaders have
called for the International Security Assistance
Force, which has successfully brought stability to
Kabul, to be expanded and deployed throughout the
country, and this request has been strongly sup-
ported by a wide range of international humani-
tarian organizations, including the International
Committee of the Red Cross, Catholic Relief Serv-
ices, and Refugees International.
(11)(A) On January 29, 2002, the President
stated that ‘‘[w]e will help the new Afghan govern-
ment provide the security that is the foundation of
peace’’.
(B) On March 25, 2002, the Secretary of De-
fense stated, with respect to the reconstruction of
Afghanistan, that ‘‘the first thing . . . you need for
anything else to happen, for hospitals to happen, for
roads to happen, for refugees to come back, for peo-
ple to be fed and humanitarian workers to move on
the country . . . [y]ou’ve got to have security’’.
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It should be the policy
of the United States to support measures to help meet
the immediate security needs of Afghanistan in order to
promote safe and effective delivery of humanitarian and
other assistance throughout Afghanistan, further the rule
of law and civil order, and support the formation of a func-
tioning, representative Afghan national government.
(c) PREPARATION OF STRATEGY.—Not later than 45
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Presi-
dent shall transmit to the Committee on International Re-
lations and the Committee on Appropriations of the House
of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate
a strategy for meeting the immediate and long-term secu-
rity needs of Afghanistan in order to promote safe and
effective delivery of humanitarian and other assistance
throughout Afghanistan, further the rule of law and civil
order, and support the formation of a functioning, rep-
resentative Afghan national government.
