(2) Osama Bin Laden was hidden in the Paki-
stani city of Abbottabad within a mile of Pakistan’s 
major military academy, in a conspicuous and well 
fortified compound that dwarfed those around it. 
(3) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Ad-
miral Mike Mullen, was quoted in Dawn, the major 
English-language newspaper in Pakistan, regarding 
United States-Pakistani relations saying: ‘‘It’s fairly 
well known that the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) 
has a longstanding relationship with the Haqqani 
network . . . Haqqani is supporting, funding, and 
training fighters that are killing Americans and kill-
ing coalition partners . . . So that’s at the core— 
it’s not the only thing—but that’s at the core that 
I think is the most difficult part of the relation-
ship.’’. 
(4) It was reported in The New York Times on 
April 28, 2011, that former Director of National In-
telligence, Dennis C. Blair, said regarding United 
States-Pakistani relations: ‘‘There has to be a major 
restructuring. The ISI jams the CIA all it wants and 
pays no penalties.’’. 
(5) It was reported in The Wall Street Journal 
on April 27, 2011, that on April 16, 2011, the 
Prime Minister of Pakistan, Yousaf Raza Gilani,

traveled to Kabul, Afghanistan, and told Afghan 
President Hamid Karzai to strategically move Af-
ghanistan away from the United States and its ‘‘im-
perial designs’’ and to ally with Pakistan’s ‘‘all- 
weather’’ friend, the communist People’s Republic of 
China. 
(6) It was reported in The Wall Street Journal 
on April 27, 2011, Pakistani officials are encour-
aging President Karzai not to be cooperative with 
the United States in reaching a mutually beneficial 
long-term bilateral agreement. 
(7) Such actions by the Government of Paki-
stan undermine the United States while the latter is 
conducting long-term strategic partnership talks 
with the Government of Afghanistan. 
(8) Pakistan has received over $18,000,000,000 
in assistance over the past decade from the United 
States and is due to receive additional assistance 
from the United States. 
(9) Pakistan has long harbored extremist 
groups operating in its territory that plan and con-
duct terrorist attacks in India and elsewhere, includ-
ing the Islamic militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, 
which was responsible for the attacks on Mumbai, 
India, on November 26, 2008, in which the final

death toll from the attack exceeded 170 victims, 
with hundreds more injured. 
(10) Pakistan has a history beginning in the 
1980s of receiving assistance from China to build its 
nuclear weapons program and under the aegis of 
A.Q. Khan established and operated an illicit inter-
national nuclear proliferation network which sold nu-
clear technologies and designs to North Korea, Iran, 
and Libya, among other counties, which greatly ad-
vanced their programs to acquire nuclear weapons 
and gravely threatened international security. 
(11) While the United States has twice cut off 
economic and military aid to Pakistan as a result of 
its nuclear weapons program, in 1985 with the 
Pressler Amendment and in 1998 after Pakistan 
conducted nuclear test, each time the alleged need 
for Pakistani help in Afghanistan has been used as 
part of the argument to lift the sanctions, which al-
lowed Pakistan to continue its dangerous nuclear 
proliferation. 
(12) Pakistan through its ISI and military has 
shown itself to act against the interests of the 
United States by supporting terrorists who kill 
Americans and in other ways not befitting a recipi-
ent of United States aid.
