     TITLE I--COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF UNITED STATES SAUDI RELATIONS

SEC. 101. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ACTIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM 
              OF SAUDI ARABIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Historically, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been an 
        important strategic partner of the United States, and the 
        United States and Saudi Arabia share broad interests, including 
        defeating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), combating 
        al Qaeda and its affiliates, regional stability, and countering 
        Iran's malign activities in the Middle East.
            (2) On June 21, 2017, King Salman appointed Prince Mohammed 
        bin Salman as Crown Prince and heir apparent to the Saudi 
        throne.
            (3) Following his elevation in the line of succession to 
        the Saudi throne, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's actions 
        have had the potential to significantly harm the United States 
        historic relationship with Saudi Arabia. The Crown Prince has 
        frequently behaved in a reckless manner, including arresting 
        those opposed to his rule. He has engaged in problematic 
        foreign policy, including pressuring the Lebanese Prime 
        Minister to resign, and he has consolidated his personal 
        control over Saudi government decision making.
            (4) One of Mohammed bin Salman's first acts as Saudi 
        Arabia's minister of defense was to launch a military campaign 
        in Yemen with the stated objective of restoring the 
        internationally recognized Government of Yemen, which had been 
        forced out of Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi forces and former 
        military units loyal to deposed President Ali Saleh.
            (5) As of July 2019, Iranian-sponsored Houthi rebels have 
        conducted up to 14 ballistic missile and weaponized unmanned 
        aerial system attacks per month against Saudi Arabia and the 
        United Arab Emirates, posing a significant threat and 
        endangering the lives of 80,000 Americans residing on the 
        Arabian Peninsula.
            (6) Yemen serves as sanctuary space for al Qaeda in the 
        Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). AQAP external operations plotting 
        poses a direct threat to the United States and United States 
        allies. AQAP was responsible for the Paris attacks against the 
        offices of Charlie Hebdo in January 2015, and was involved in 
        terrorist plots against the United States, including the 
        ``Christmas Day Bomber'' in 2009 and the ``Times Square 
        Bomber'' in 2010. The ongoing civil war and resulting 
        instability has complicated efforts to counter AQAP in Yemen.
            (7) Yemen sits adjacent to the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a 
        strategic waterway located between Djibouti and Yemen that 
        links the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. Free flow of traffic 
        through the strait, only 18 miles across at its narrowest 
        point, is critical to exports from the Persian Gulf and Asia 
        destined for Western markets.
            (8) Iranian-sponsored Houthi coastal weapons, explosive 
        boats, and mines pose a direct threat to the free flow of 
        commerce and shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
            (9) In October 2016, Houthi forces struck a United Arab 
        Emirates merchant vessel, and twice attacked a United States 
        Navy vessel, the USS Mason, as they transited the Bab el-Mandeb 
        strait. In July 2018, Iranian-sponsored Houthi forces attacked 
        and damaged two Saudi oil tankers attempting to transit the 
        strait.
            (10) According to the United Nations, the civil war in 
        Yemen is the world's worst humanitarian crisis and has resulted 
        in approximately 24,000,000 Yemenis in need of humanitarian 
        assistance, roughly 80 percent of the population.
            (11) The Houthi seizure of the Sana'a Central Bank has 
        resulted in the inability to pay government salaries in Yemen 
        and the breakdown of banking functions, which has complicated 
        the humanitarian crisis and further hampered access to aid 
        supplies.
            (12) Despite framework agreements in Stockholm and 
        Hudaydah, the conflict in Yemen continues unabated.
            (13) On June 5, 2017, Saudi Arabia, along with the United 
        Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, and other countries, severed 
        diplomatic relations with Qatar, recalled their ambassadors, 
        expelled Qatari diplomats, and imposed limits on the entry and 
        transit of Qatari nationals and vessels in their territories, 
        waters, and airspace.
            (14) The blockade against Qatar has significantly 
        complicated relationships in the region and hindered United 
        States counterterrorism and counter-Iran objectives, undermined 
        United States efforts to end regional conflicts, and empowered 
        Iranian influence in the region.
            (15) According to the organization Reporters without 
        Borders, the number of arrests of journalists and bloggers has 
        doubled since the appointment of Crown Prince Mohammad bin 
        Salman.
            (16) Under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Government 
        of Saudi Arabia continues to detain political prisoners, 
        including Saudi women's rights advocates.
            (17) Jamal Khashoggi was a prominent Saudi journalist and 
        an outspoken critic of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. 
        Throughout 2017 and 2018, Jamal Khashoggi wrote a series of 
        opinion articles offering pointed critiques and advice to Crown 
        Prince Mohammed bin Salman and to United States and Saudi 
        officials.
            (18) Prior to his death, Jamal Khashoggi had sought status 
        as a lawful permanent resident of the United States and was the 
        father to four United States citizens. On October 2, 2018, 
        Jamal Khashoggi disappeared during a visit to the Consulate of 
        the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul, Turkey.
            (19) On October 8, 2018, the brother of Crown Prince 
        Mohammed bin Salman and Saudi Ambassador to the United States, 
        Prince Khalid bin Salman, stated that ``the reports that 
        suggest that Jamal Khashoggi went missing in the Consulate in 
        Istanbul or that the Kingdom's authorities have detained him or 
        killed him are absolutely false, and baseless''.
            (20) On October 19, 2018, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign 
        Affairs announced that Mr. Khashoggi was murdered inside the 
        Saudi consulate by Saudi nationals on October 2, 2018.
            (21) On December 13, 2018, the Senate passed Senate Joint 
        Resolution 69, a joint resolution supporting a diplomatic 
        solution in Yemen and condemning the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, 
        stating that the Senate ``believes Crown Prince Mohammad bin 
        Salman is responsible for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi'' and 
        calling on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to ensure appropriate 
        accountability for all those responsible for Jamal Khashoggi's 
        murder.
    (b) Sense of Congress Regarding the Actions of the Government of 
Saudi Arabia.--It is the sense of Congress that, since the promotion of 
Mohammad bin Salman to the position of Crown Prince with significant 
authority over foreign and domestic affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi 
Arabia, the Government of Saudi Arabia has demonstrated increasingly 
erratic and disturbing conduct that--
            (1) threatens to undermine and alienate allies, friends, 
        and partners of the United States in efforts to promote 
        regional stability, economic growth, and human rights;
            (2) threatens to place United States national interests in 
        the Middle East in serious danger; and
            (3) necessitates a comprehensive review of the United 
        States-Saudi bilateral relationship.

SEC. 102. COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE UNITED STATES-SAUDI BILATERAL 
              RELATIONSHIP.

    (a) Review.--The Secretary of State, in consultation with the 
Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, and the 
Secretary of the Treasury and any other department or agency the 
President may designate, shall conduct a comprehensive review of United 
States relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
    (b) Report.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 270 days after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit to 
        the appropriate congressional committees a report with the

                whether those goals align with, or could potentially 
                cause damage to, United States regional interests.
                    (B) An evaluation of the current risks to United 
                States policy, interests, and influence in the Middle 
                East created by the actions of the Government of Saudi 
                Arabia in furtherance of its foreign policy goals, with 
                particular attention to violations of treaty 
                obligations, detention of foreign government officials, 
                and economic embargoes of countries in the region.
                    (C) An analysis of the current diplomatic 
                relationships between Saudi Arabia and other regional

                of China.
                    (D) An evaluation of the human rights record of the 
                current Government of Saudi Arabia and its compliance

                Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United 
                Nations General Assembly in Paris on December 10, 1948,

                            (i) The extent to which officials of the 
                        Government of Saudi Arabia, including members

                        responsible for or complicit in gross 
                        violations of internationally recognized human 
                        rights, including violations of the human 
                        rights of journalists, bloggers, and those who 
                        support women's rights or religious freedom.
                            (ii) The extent to which the Government of 
                        Saudi Arabia--
                                    (I) has knowingly blocked access to 
                                Yemeni ports, ports of entry, or other 
                                facilities used by the United Nations, 
                                its specialized agencies and 
                                implementing partners, nongovernmental 
                                organizations, or any other actors 
                                engaged in humanitarian relief 
                                activities in Yemen;
                                    (II) has hindered the efforts of

                                relief, including through diversion of

                                assistance to Yemen.
                            (iii) The extent to which Saudi Arabia has 
                        improved targeting and strike procedures to

SEC. 401. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) that responsibly ending the civil war in Yemen will 
        further United States national security interests, including by 
        increasing regional stability, ensuring the free flow of 
        commerce through the region, and preventing al Qaeda in the 
        Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and the Islamic State from 
        capitalizing on Yemen's instability to threaten the United 
        States homeland;
            (2) to support United Nations-led efforts to achieve a 
        cease-fire and a comprehensive political settlement that leads 
        to a territorially unified, stable, and independent Yemen;
            (3) to insist on the urgent need for a political solution 
        consistent with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2216 
        (2015), or any successor United Nations Security Council 
        Resolution demanding an end to violence in Yemen and a peaceful 
        resolution of the conflict in that country;
            (4) to generally oppose statements, policies, or actions 
        advocating for a military solution to the civil war in Yemen as 
        counterproductive to peace efforts;
            (5) to encourage the Government of Saudi Arabia, the 
        Government of the United Arab Emirates, and the internationally 
        recognized Government of Yemen to develop and promote 
        confidence-building measures that create opportunities for 
        political dialogue to end the war in Yemen and address the 
        humanitarian crisis;
            (6) in the interests of achieving a lasting peace in Yemen, 
        to encourage security partners of the United States enjoying 
        full diplomatic relations with the Government of Iran to use 
        their good offices to influence or pressure the Government of 
        Iran, as necessary, to end its support of the Houthi rebels; 
        and
            (7) to support the implementation of the agreement reached 
        between the parties to the conflict at Stockholm, Sweden, on

SEC. 402. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) continued direct negotiations between the Government of 
        Saudi Arabia, the Government of the United Arab Emirates, the 
        internationally recognized Government of Yemen, and 
        representatives of the Houthi movement are necessary--
                    (A) to reach a stable political solution;
                    (B) to implement the agreements reached between the 
                Saudi-led coalition, the internationally recognized 
                Government of Yemen, local Yemeni forces, and the 
                Houthis, including the Stockholm Agreement, the 
                Hudaydah Agreement, and any successor agreements the 
                parties may enter into;
                    (C) to address the suffering of the Yemeni people; 
                and

                affiliates, and the Islamic State to exploit 
                instability for their own malign purposes;
            (2) finding a peaceful solution to conflict in Yemen is 
        complicated by the actions and demands of other separatist 
        groups;
            (3) the Government of Saudi Arabia, the Government of the 
        United Arab Emirates, and the Government of Iran should bear 
        financial responsibility for the economic stabilization and 
        eventual reconstruction of Yemen; and
            (4) the United States and the international community must 
        continue to support the work of United Nations missions to 
        achieve a political solution to the civil war in Yemen.

SEC. 404. MEASURES IN RESPONSE TO IRANIAN ACTIONS AGGRAVATING THE CIVIL 
              WAR IN YEMEN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On November 10, 2014, the administration of President 
        Barack Obama designated the leadership of the Iranian-supported 
        Houthi insurgent group, and the ally of that group, the former 
        President of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh, for the imposition of 
        sanctions under Executive Order 13611 (50 U.S.C. 1701 note; 
        relating to blocking property of persons threatening the peace, 
        security, or stability of Yemen).
            (2) Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps has transferred 
        increasingly sophisticated weapons systems to the Houthis, who 
        have in turn fired missiles into Saudi Arabia from positions in 
        northern Yemen, including a missile in November 2017 that 
        targeted Riyadh International Airport. In response, then-
        Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley called on ``the 
        United Nations and international partners to take necessary 
        action to hold the Iranian regime accountable for these 
        violations''.
            (3) In addition to weapons, Iran is reportedly providing 
        proxies, including Hezbollah, to train Houthi units and act as 
        logistical advisers.
            (4) The Iranian-supported Houthis have attacked coalition 
        or coalition-affiliated maritime targets multiple times, a 
        United States Navy ship twice, and other shipping, forcing the 
        United States to respond with a combination of diplomacy and 
        calibrated military strikes against three radar facilities in 
        Houthi-controlled territory.
    (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) to condemn the activities conducted by the Government 
        of Iran that--
                    (A) aggravate the civil war in Yemen; or
                    (B) undermine United Nations peace efforts in 
                Yemen; and
            (2) to call on all responsible governments to take measures 
        to reduce conflict in Yemen, including by--
                    (A) interdicting weapons being transferred from 
                Iran to the Houthis; and
                    (B) imposing bilateral and multilateral sanctions 
                with respect to Iran for its violations of United 
                Nations Security Council Resolutions with respect to 
                Yemen.
    (c) Determinations With Respect to Certain Iranian Persons 
Responsible for Aggravating the Civil War in Yemen.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in 
        coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury, shall submit 
        to the appropriate congressional committees a report on the 
        actions taken by the Department of State and the Department of 
        the Treasury to carry out Executive Order 13611 that includes--
                    (A) a description of the activities carried out by 
                Iranian persons that are subject to sanctions under 
                that Executive order; and
                    (B) an identification of the persons with respect 
                to which sanctions have been imposed under that 
                Executive order for aggravating the civil war in Yemen.
            (2) Form of report.--Each report submitted under paragraph 
        (1) shall be submitted in unclassified form but may include a 
        classified annex.

        armed conflict committed during the war in Yemen by--
                    (A) all forces involved in the Saudi-led coalition 
                and all forces fighting on its behalf;

                the law of armed conflict;
                    (C) arbitrary denials of humanitarian access and 
                the resulting impact on the alleviation of human 
                suffering;
