macy strategies for the countries and regions to which 
they are assigned and should be accountable for the

Service officers should be enhanced to include infor-
mation and training on public diplomacy and the

talents and resources in the private sector and should in-
clude programs to increase the number of people who can 
be exposed to the United States and its fundamental ideas 
and values in order to dispel misconceptions. Such pro-
grams should include youth exchange programs, young am-
295 
bassadors programs, international visitor programs, aca-

sister city programs, and other programs related to people-

∆(3) increase the number of young people who 
may thereby improve their proficiency in the English 
language. 
∆(c) PILOT PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.—The Secretary

ings:

and democratic societies consistent with our own. 
∆(3) Free media is undermined, endangered, or 
nonexistent in many repressive and transitional soci-
eties around the world, including in Eurasia, Africa, 
and the Middle East. 
∆(4) Individuals lacking access to a plurality of 
free media are vulnerable to misinformation and 
propaganda and are potentially more likely to adopt 
anti-American views.

to actively and publicly discourage and rebut unpro-
fessional and unethical media while respecting jour-
nalistic integrity and editorial independence.
308 
∆(b) STATEMENTS OF POLICY.—It shall be the policy

broad range of individuals, organizations, and gov-
ernmental participants involved in journalistic ac-
309 
tivities and the development of free and independent 
media to— 
∆(A) fund a clearinghouse to collect and

United States. 
∆(2) Public diplomacy efforts designed to encour-
age an accurate understanding of the people of the 
United States and the policies of the United States 
are unlikely to succeed if foreign publics are subjected 
to unrelenting biased or false local media coverage of 
the United States. 
∆(3) Where freedom of the press exists in foreign 
countries the United States can combat biased or false 
media coverage by responding in the foreign media or 
by communicating directly to foreign publics in such 
countries. 
∆(4) Foreign governments which encourage bi-
ased or false media coverage of the United States bear 
a significant degree of responsibility for creating a 
climate within which terrorism can flourish. Such 
governments are responsible for encouraging biased or 
false media coverage if they—
311 
∆(A) issue direct or indirect instructions to 
the media to publish biased or false information 
regarding the United States; 
∆(B) make deliberately biased or false 
charges expecting that such charges will be dis-
seminated; or 
∆(C) so severely constrain the ability of the 
media to express criticism of any such govern-
ment that one of the few means of political ex-
pression available is criticism of the United 
States. 
∆(b) STATEMENTS OF POLICY.— 
∆(1) FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.—It shall be the 
policy of the United States to regard foreign govern-
ments as knowingly engaged in unfriendly acts to-
ward the United States if such governments— 
∆(A) instruct their state-owned or influ-
enced media to include content that is anti- 
American or prejudicial to the foreign and secu-
rity policies of the United States; or 
∆(B) make deliberately false charges regard-
ing the United States or permit false or biased 
charges against the United States to be made 
while constraining normal political discourse.
312 
∆(2) SEEKING MEDIA ACCESS; RESPONDING TO 
FALSE CHARGES.—It shall be the policy of the United 
States to— 
∆(A) seek access to the media in foreign 
countries on terms no less favorable than those 
afforded any other foreign entity or on terms 
available to the foreign country in the United 
States; and 
∆(B) combat biased or false media coverage 
in foreign countries of the United States and its 
allies by responding in the foreign media or by 
communicating directly to foreign publics. 
∆(c) RESPONSIBILITIES

are posted. Based on such reports and other informa-

prioritize efforts to combat such media coverage, giv-
ing special attention to audiences where fostering 
popular opposition to terrorism is most important 
and such media coverage is most prevalent.
313 
∆(2) CHIEFS
OF
MISSION.—Chiefs of mission 
shall have the following responsibilities: 
∆(A) Chiefs of mission shall give strong pri-
ority to combatting biased or false media reports

countries in which freedom of the press exists 
shall inform the governments of such countries of 
the policies of the United States regarding biased 
or false media coverage of the United States, and 
shall make strong efforts to persuade such gov-
ernments to change policies that encourage such 
media coverage. 
∆(d) REPORTS.—Not later than 120 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act and at least annually 
thereafter until January 1, 2015, the Secretary shall submit 
to the Committee on International Relations of the House

∆(3) An assessment of potential incentives for,

tributions to the Community of Democracies and

∆Subtitle A—Faster and Smarter 
Funding for First Responders 
∆SEC. 5001. SHORT TITLE. 
∆This subtitle may be cited as the ‘‘Faster and Smart-
er Funding for First Responders Act of 2004’’. 
∆SEC. 5002. FINDINGS. 
∆The Congress finds the following:
361 
∆(1) In order to achieve its objective of mini-
mizing the damage, and assisting in the recovery, 
from terrorist attacks, the Department of Homeland 
Security must play a leading role in assisting com-
munities to reach the level of preparedness they need 
to respond to a terrorist attack. 
∆(2) First responder funding is not reaching the 
men and women of our Nation’s first response teams 
quickly enough, and sometimes not at all. 
∆(3) To reform the current bureaucratic process 
so that homeland security dollars reach the first re-
sponders who need it most, it is necessary to clarify 
and consolidate the authority and procedures of the 
Department of Homeland Security that support first 
responders. 
∆(4) Ensuring adequate resources for the new 
national mission of homeland security, without de-
grading the ability to address effectively other types 
of major disasters and emergencies, requires a discrete 
and separate grant making process for homeland se-
curity funds for first response to terrorist acts, on the 
one hand, and for first responder programs designed 
to meet pre-September 11 priorities, on the other. 
∆(5) While a discrete homeland security grant 
making process is necessary to ensure proper focus on
362 
the unique aspects of terrorism prevention, prepared-
ness, and response, it is essential that State and local 
strategies for utilizing such grants be integrated, to 
the greatest extent practicable, with existing State 
and local emergency management plans. 
∆(6) Homeland security grants to first respond-
ers must be based on the best intelligence concerning 
the capabilities and intentions of our terrorist en-
emies, and that intelligence must be used to target re-
sources 
to 
the 
Nation’s 
greatest 
threats, 
vulnerabilities, and consequences. 
∆(7) The Nation’s first response capabilities will 
be improved by sharing resources, training, planning, 
personnel, and equipment among neighboring juris-
dictions through mutual aid agreements and regional 
cooperation. Such regional cooperation should be sup-
ported, where appropriate, through direct grants from 
the Department of Homeland Security. 
∆(8) An essential prerequisite to achieving the 
Nation’s homeland security objectives for first re-
sponders is the establishment of well-defined national 
goals for terrorism preparedness. These goals should 
delineate the essential capabilities that every jurisdic-
tion in the United States should possess or to which 
it should have access.
