To reduce the threat of terrorists acquiring shoulder-fired missiles.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Shoulder-Fired Missile Threat 
Reduction Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act:
            (1) MANPADS.--The term ``MANPADS'' means--
                    (A) a surface-to-air missile system designed to be 
                man-portable and carried and fired by a single 
                individual; or
                    (B) any other surface-to-air missile system 
                designed to be operated and fired by more than one 
                individual acting as a crew and portable by several 
                individuals.
            (2) Conventional weapons.--The term ``conventional 
        weapons'' means rocket propelled grenades, landmines, abandoned 
        stocks of munitions, and other weapons the Secretary of State 
        determines the proliferation of which undermines international 
        peace and stability.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The global proliferation of man-portable air defense 
        systems (MANPADS) and other conventional weapons poses a direct 
        threat to the national security of the United States.
            (2) The use of MANPADS and other conventional weapons by 
        terrorists and insurgent groups continues to hamper United 
        States efforts to achieve peace and security in Iraq and 
        Afghanistan.
            (3) More than two-dozen terrorist groups, including al-
        Qaeda, are believed to possess MANPADS.
            (4) On November 28, 2002, in Mombasa, Kenya, two shoulder-
        fired missiles were fired at a departing civilian airliner in 
        an unsuccessful attack claimed by al-Qaeda.
            (5) A successful terrorist attack with a shoulder-fired 
        missile against a civilian airliner would have devastating 
        human and incalculable economic costs.
            (6) The Government Accountability Office has estimated that 
        there are between 500,000 and 750,000 MANPADS in countries 
        around the world, with a few thousand outside government 
        controls and thousands more under government controls but 
        vulnerable to theft and possible transfer to terrorist groups 
        due to inadequate security.
            (7) Many countries that possess stocks of MANPADS and other 
        conventional weapons no longer require such weapons for their 
        own security or self-defense, but do not possess the means to 
        eliminate or safeguard such weapons systems.

SEC. 4. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) where appropriate, the United States Government should 
        provide assistance to countries seeking to secure, remove, or 
        eliminate stocks of MANPADS and other conventional weapons that 
        pose a proliferation threat;
            (2) where appropriate, the Secretary of State should direct 
        United States Ambassadors to such countries to negotiate with 
        appropriate officials of their host countries to offer 
        assistance to secure, remove, and eliminate stocks of MANPADS 
        and other conventional weapons that pose a proliferation 
        threat; and
            (3) in light of the clear links between global networks of 
        terrorism and global networks of the illegal trade in 
        conventional weapons, the United States Government should place 
        consistent, broad, and continued emphasis on combating the 
        proliferation of MANPADS and other conventional weapons within 
        the broader nonproliferation strategy of the United States.

SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It is the policy of the United States to assist the governments of 
other countries to secure, remove, or eliminate stocks of MANPADS and 
other conventional weapons that pose a proliferation threat, local or 
regional security threat, or humanitarian threat.

SEC. 6. GLOBAL PROGRAM FOR THE SAFEGUARDING AND ELIMINATION OF MANPADS 
              AND CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of State is authorized to carry out 
an accelerated global program to secure, remove, or eliminate stocks of

humanitarian threat.
    (b) Program Elements.--The program authorized under subsection (a) 
may include the following activities:
            (1) Programs to assist countries to secure, remove, and 
        eliminate MANPADS and other conventional weapons, including 
        programs related to the safe handling and proper storage of 
        such MANPADS and other conventional weapons.
            (2) Cooperative programs with the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization, Organization for Security and Cooperation in 
        Europe, and other international organizations to assist 
        countries in the secure handling and proper storage, removal, 
        or elimination of MANPADS and other conventional weapons.
            (3) Programs for the management, including inventory and 
        accounting procedures, of MANPADS and other conventional 
        weapons at locations where United States funds have been used 
        to provide for the security of such weapons.
            (4) Actions to ensure that equipment and funds, including 
        security upgrades at locations for the storage, removal, or 
        elimination of MANPADS and other conventional weapons and 
        related equipment that are determined by the Secretary of State 
        to pose a proliferation threat, local or regional security 
        threat, or humanitarian threat, continue to be used for 
        authorized purposes.

SEC. 7. IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS TO DETER THE TRANSFER OF MANPADS.

SEC. 8. MULTILATERAL EFFORTS TO LIMIT THE AVAILABILITY AND TRANSFER OF 
              MANPADS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States Government has begun to pursue 
        commitments from countries in multilateral forums to limit the 
        availability, transfer, and proliferation of MANPADS worldwide.
            (2) However, multilateral forums lack mechanisms for 
        assessing member countries' compliance with such diplomatic 
        commitments.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United 
States Government should continue to pursue strengthened international 
diplomatic efforts in the appropriate fora to limit the availability, 
transfer, and proliferation of MANPADS worldwide and to exert 
appropriate diplomatic pressure to influence member country compliance 
with such efforts.

        including, to the extent possible, a prioritization of such 
        storage, removal, and elimination efforts with respect to the 
        proliferation sensitivity of such weapons in each country and 
        the potential impact of such efforts on local and regional 
        security.
            (3) A description of multilateral efforts pursued by the

        consistent with United States policy and goals in countries 
        receiving assistance through such activities.
