SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and 
        the subsequent introduction of weapons grade anthrax into the 
        United States Postal System and Congressional office buildings 
        in Washington, D.C., the President and the Congress have worked 
        closely to respond to the need to rebuild and strengthen the 
        nation's public health, national security, and emergency 
        response systems.
            (2) Based on Article I, section 8 of the United States 
        Constitution, treaties, Federal statutes, and court decisions, 
        the United States has a unique historical and legal 
        relationship with American Indian and Alaska Native people, 
        which serves as the basis for the Federal Government's trust 
        responsibility and obligations. There are currently 558 
        federally-recognized Indian tribes in the United States, with 
        some 40 percent of Indian tribes located in the State of 
        Alaska. Indian tribes have principle responsibility for lands 
        and people within their jurisdiction.
            (3) Despite the government-to-government relationship 
        between Indian tribes and the United States, the United States 
        has failed to include and consult with Indian tribes with 
        regard to homeland security prevention, protection, and 
        response activities planning. Moreover, there are no specific 
        provisions for the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Indian 
        Health Service to participate in homeland security programs and 
        funding.
            (4) Throughout many areas of the United States, facilities 
        operated, and services, activities and government functions 
        carried out, by Indian tribes, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and 
        the Indian Health Service are the only sources available to 
        provide emergency health services, disaster response, and law 
        enforcement to the tribal and non-tribal community, thus 
        serving the role as ``first responders'' in the event of a 
        terrorist attack.
            (5) To provide for the public health and safety on tribal 
        lands and in the surrounding communities, it is imperative to 
        establish tribal participation in homeland security 
        initiatives. Indian tribes must be included in the national 
        strategy for homeland security and receive an appropriate share 
        of related funding.
            (6) The treatment of Indian tribes as State governments, as 
        appropriate, for developing funding methodologies, planning, 
        consultation, coordination, and for eligibility for grant 
        monies will ensure Indian tribes are adequately prepared to 
        respond to Homeland Security threats.
            (7) Indian tribes shall be treated as State, as 
        appropriate, for purposes of planning, consultation, 
        coordination, eligibility for grant monies and other purposes 
        to improve the United States capacity to prepare, prevent and 
        respond to terrorist activities.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are as follows:
            (1) To establish within the Department of Homeland Security 
        an office known as the Office of Tribal Government Homeland 
        Security.
            (2) To authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to 
        appoint, in consultation with Indian tribes, a Director of 
        Tribal Government Homeland Security.
            (3) To provide for more effective management of, and 
        accountability for the proper discharge of, the Secretary's 
        trust responsibility to Indian tribes and individual American 
        Indians and Alaska Natives by establishing in the Department of 
        Homeland Security an Office of Tribal Government Homeland 
        Security.
            (4) To integrate and coordinate the efforts of the 
        Department of Homeland Security and Indian tribes to prepare 
        for, prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from 
        terrorist attacks.
            (5) To provide strategic integration of the Homeland 
        Security activities of Indian tribes that will complement the 
        operational consolidation of the various directorates within 
        the Department.
            (6) To supplement the capacity of the Indian Health Service 
        and the Bureau of Indian Affairs to respond to the homeland 
        security needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives, without 
        jeopardizing the nonsecurity missions of the Indian Health 
        Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
            (7) To serve as an information clearinghouse and to enhance 
        the integration and coordination of Indian tribes and in the 
        activities of the Department of Homeland Security.
            (8) To establish an organizational framework within the 
        Department of Homeland Security through which the Federal 
        Government, Indian tribes, and State and local governments can 
        work effectively and collaboratively on public health and 
        safety, terrorism detection, prevention, response, and 
        protection of critical infrastructure.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Iraq Contingency 
Planning Act''.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to require the President 
to promptly inform Congress regarding what contingency plans are or 
will be in place to respond to three scenarios regarding future 
developments in Iraq as identified by the most recent National 
Intelligence Estimate on Iraq.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The United States initiated combat operations against 
        the Saddam Hussein regime on March 19, 2003, and concluded 
        those operations in April 2004 with the defeat of the Iraqi 
        military and the collapse of the Hussein regime.
            (2) The Bush Administration had been warned that while 
        military action against the Hussein regime would likely 
        succeed, rebuilding Iraq and winning the peace would be more 
        difficult. In particular, intelligence reports from the Defense 
        Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon's Joint Staff, the Department 
        of State's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, and the Central 
        Intelligence Agency's National Intelligence Council warned that 
        United States troops could face significant postwar resistance. 
        An Army War College report from February 2003 warned that 
        without an ``overwhelming'' effort to prepare for the United 
        States occupation of Iraq, ``The United States may find itself 
        in a radically different world over the next few years, a world 
        in which the threat of Saddam Hussein seems like a pale shadow 
        of new problems of America's own making.''.
            (3) Despite these warnings, the Bush Administration invaded 
        Iraq without a comprehensive plan in place to secure and 
        rebuild the country.
            (4) United States Armed Forces personnel have remained in 
        Iraq since the beginning of combat operations, and in over 
        nearly four years of war, hundreds of thousands of members of 
        the Armed Forces have served with honor and distinction in 
        Iraq, over 3,100 members of the Armed Forces have died, and 
        over 22,500 members of the Armed Forces have been wounded.
            (5) On January 10, 2007, after years of growing sectarian 
        violence in Iraq, President George W. Bush addressed the 
        American people to announce a plan entitled ``The New Way 
        Forward in Iraq'', consisting of the additional deployments of 
        at least 21,500 United States troops in Iraq.
            (6) On January 16, 2007, the Secretary of Defense said that 
        ``we expect in certain areas to be able to see whether the 
        Iraqi government is carrying out the commitments that it has 
        made and that are so critical to the success of this strategy . 
        . . within two or three months.''.
            (7) On February 5, 2007, the President submitted a request 
        for supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2007, including 
        $5,600,000,000 to increase United States forces in the Iraqi 
        theater of operations to support the Government of Iraq with 
        21,500 United States ground forces and an expanded Naval 
        presence. At the same time, the President also submitted a 
        proposed budget for fiscal year 2008 which did not request 
        funding for these additional troops in Iraq.
            (8) On February 1, 2007, the intelligence community 
        presented to the President the first National Intelligence 
        Estimate (NIE) on Iraq in nearly four years.
            (9) The NIE, the most authoritative written judgment of the 
        Director of National Intelligence with respect to Iraq, states 
        that ``Iraqi society's growing polarization, the persistent 
        weakness of the security forces and the state in general, and 
        all sides' ready recourse to violence are collectively driving 
        an increase in communal and insurgent violence and political 
        extremism. Unless efforts to reverse these conditions show 
        measurable progress during ... the coming 12 to 18 months, we 
        assess that the overall security situation will continue to 
        deteriorate.''.
            (10) The NIE states that as Iraq's security environment 
        worsens, three prospective security paths could emerge--
                    (A) chaos leading to partition;
                    (B) emergence of a Shia strongman; or
                    (C) anarchic fragmentation of power.
            (11) Congress needs to know how the Administration expects 
        to respond to each of those possibilities, and what specific 
        plans are being taken and what specific plans are being 
        developed to be able to respond to such possibilities.

SEC. 3. REPORT ON CONTINGENCY PLANS FOR IRAQ.

    (a) Report Required.--Not later than June 30, 2007, the President 
shall transmit to the Committees on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate a report detailing contingency plans for 
how the Department of Defense and other departments and agencies of the 
Federal Government will respond to the following three prospective 
security paths in Iraq, as outlined in the 2007 National Intelligence 
Estimate (NIE) on Iraq:
            (1) Chaos leading to partition.--Described by the NIE as 
        follows: ``A rapid deterioration in the capacity of Iraq's 
        central government to function, security services and other 
        aspects of sovereignty would collapse. Resulting widespread 
        fighting could produce de facto partition, dividing Iraq into 
        three mutually antagonistic parts. Collapse of this magnitude 
        would generate fierce violence for at least several years, 
        ranging well beyond the time frame of this estimate, before 
        settling into a partially stable end-state.''.
            (2) Emergence of a shia strongman.--Described by the NIE as 
        follows: ``Instead of a disintegrating central government 
        producing partition, a security implosion could lead Iraq's 
        potentially most powerful group, the Shia, to assert its latent 
        strength.''.
            (3) Anarchic fragmentation of power.--Described by the NIE 
        as follows: ``The emergence of a checkered pattern of local 
        control would present the greatest potential for instability, 
        mixing extreme ethno-sectarian violence with debilitating 
        intra-group clashes.''.
    (b) Additional Information.--The report shall include detailed 
information regarding the proposed role of the United States Armed 
Forces under each of the three prospective security paths referred to 
in subsection (a), including a comprehensive analysis to identify and 
justify the number of United States troops needed in each case, and the 
proposed roles of other departments and agencies of the Federal 
Government.

Iraq Contingency Planning Act - Requires the President by June 30, 2007, to report to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees detailing U.S. and U.S. Armed Forces contingency plans to respond to the following three scenarios regarding future developments in Iraq as identified by the most recent National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq: (1) chaos leading to partition; (2) emergence of a Shia strongman; and (3) anarchic fragmentation of power.
