Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``International Cooperative 
Antiterrorism Act of 2002''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The use of terrorism is detestable and an illegitimate 
        means of political expression.
            (2) International terrorist organizations pose a direct 
        threat to the United States, and this threat is becoming more 
        acute and more difficult to prevent.
            (3) The threat from international terrorism is made far 
        more dangerous by the proliferation of chemical, biological, 
        and radiological weapons and the means to produce those 
        weapons.
            (4) The prosecution of the war against international 
        terrorist organizations must continue until those organizations 
        and the threat they pose to the people and interests of the 
        United States are eliminated.
            (5) The United States can only win the war on terrorism if 
        it receives cooperation from other countries and entities.
            (6) Protecting the United States homeland and United States 
        interests overseas from terrorism is of the highest priority in 
        the foreign relations of the United States.
            (7) Cooperation in the global war against international 
        terrorism must be a primary focus of United States foreign 
        relations, United States assistance, and international security 
        relations.
            (8) Winning the war on terrorism requires cooperation from 
        the international community, especially in the areas of 
        preventing the financing of terror, sharing information on 
        international terror networks, eliminating terror cells, and in 
        preventing the promotion of anti-Americanism and the 
        glorification of terrorism in state-owned media and state-
        controlled schools.
            (9) The promotion of terrorism, intolerance, and virulent 
        anti-Americanism in state-owned media and state-controlled 
        education systems is abhorrent and poses a long-term threat to 
        the safety and security of the United States as well as the 
        community of nations.
            (10) All countries and entities must be encouraged to 
        cooperate in the global war on international terrorism.
            (11) Many foreign governments and entities are doing little 
        to counter proterrorist and prointolerance messages to mass 
        audiences, including to school age children.
            (12) Countries providing direct or indirect assistance to 
        international terrorist organizations undermine the direct 
        security interests of the United States.
            (13) Countries demonstrating indifference to or providing 
        actual endorsement of international terror as a legitimate 
        political tool make a direct threat to the security interests 
        of the United States.
            (14) The National Commission on Terrorism established by 
        section 591 of the Foreign Operations Export Financing, and 
        Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1999, as enacted by Public 
        Law 105-277 (112 Stat. 2681-210), concluded that the United 
        States should strengthen its efforts to discourage the broad 
        range of assistance that countries provide to international 
        terrorists.
            (15) The National Commission on Terrorism further 
        recommends that the President make more effective use of 
        authority to designate foreign governments as ``not fully 
        cooperative'' with the United States counterterrorism efforts.
            (16) United States assistance programs and the transfer of 
        United States Munitions List items are a critical tool of 
        United States foreign policy and winning the global war on 
        terrorism.
            (17) Countries receiving United States assistance and the 
        export of items on the United States Munitions List must be 
        obligated to support the global war on international terror.
            (18) Several existing laws, including the USA Patriot Act 
        of 2001, the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 
        1996, the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, the Arms Export 
        Control Act, and the Export Administration Act of 1979 (or 
        successor statute), prohibit the provision of United States 
        assistance, and the licensing for export of items on the United 
        States Munitions List, to countries supporting terror or not 
        fully cooperating in antiterror efforts of the United States. 
        These laws should be expanded to include the definition of 
        ``fully cooperative in the global war against international 
        terrorism'' set forth in this Act, including preventing 
        promotion of terror in state-owned and controlled media and 
        educational systems.

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Saffron Revolution Support Act of 
2007''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Beginning on August 19, 2007, hundreds of thousands of 
        citizens of Burma, including thousands of Buddhist monks and 
        students, participated in peaceful demonstrations against 
        rapidly deteriorating living conditions and the violent and 
        repressive policies of the State Peace and Development Council 
        (SPDC), the ruling military junta in Burma, to--
                    (A) demand the release of all political prisoners, 
                including Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi; 
                and
                    (B) urge the SPDC to engage in meaningful dialogue 
                to pursue national reconciliation.
            (2) The SPDC, in a display of brutal barbarism, violently 
        confronted unarmed demonstrators, killing, injuring, and 
        imprisoning citizens, including several thousand Buddhist 
        monks, and continued to forcefully restrict peaceful forms of 
        public expression.
            (3) The Department of State's 2006 Reports on Human Rights 
        Practices found that the SPDC--
                    (A) routinely restricts freedoms of speech, press, 
                assembly, association, religion, and movement;
                    (B) traffics in persons;
                    (C) discriminates against women and ethnic 
                minorities;
                    (D) forcibly recruits child soldiers and child 
                labor; and
                    (E) commits other serious violations of human 
                rights, including extrajudicial killings, custodial 
                deaths, disappearances, rape, torture, abuse of 
                prisoners and detainees, and the imprisonment of 
                citizens arbitrarily for political motives.
            (4) Aung San Suu Kyi has been arbitrarily imprisoned or 
        held under house arrest for more than 12 years.
            (5) The President announced on September 25, 2007, that the 
        United States would tighten economic sanctions against Burma, 
        and block property and interests in property of certain senior 
        leaders of the SPDC, individuals who provide financial backing 
        for the SPDC, and individuals responsible for violations of 
        human rights and for impeding the transition to democracy in 
        Burma.
            (6) The President also announced on September 25, 2007, 
        that the United States would impose an expanded visa ban on 
        individuals--
                    (A) responsible for violations of human rights; and
                    (B) who aid, abet, or benefit from the SPDC's 
                efforts to impede the efforts of the people of Burma to 
                transition to democracy and ensure respect for human 
                dignity.
            (7) The Total Oil Corporation of France and the Chevron 
        Corporation of the United States own a significant stake in 
        Burma's Yadana natural gas field and pipeline and generate 
        millions of dollars in revenue that help the repressive junta 
        government maintain its grasp on power.
            (8) Burma is home to approximately 60 percent of the 
        world's native teak reserves. More than one quarter of the 
        world's internationally traded teak originates from Burma, and 
        hardwood sales, mainly of teak, represent more than 11 percent 
        of Burma's official foreign exchange earnings.
            (9) Burma officially exports tens of millions of dollars 
        worth of rubies, sapphires, pearls, jade, and other precious 
        stones each year and the SPDC owns a majority stake in all 
        mining operations within the borders of Burma.
            (10) On October 11, 2007, the United Nations Security 
        Council, with the consent of China, issued a statement 
        condemning the violence in Burma, urging the release of all 
        political prisoners, and calling on the SPDC to enter into a 
        United Nations-mediated dialogue with its political opposition.
            (11) The leaders of the SPDC will have a greater incentive 
        to cooperate with diplomatic efforts by the United Nations, the 
        Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and China if they come 
        under targeted economic pressure that denies them access to 
        personal wealth and sources of revenue.
