SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Geospatial technologies and geospatial data can provide 
        all levels of government and the private sector with proven 
        capabilities to carry out detection, planning, preparedness, 
        mitigation, response, and recovery activities for homeland 
        security purposes that save lives and protect property.
            (2) The completion and maintenance of the National Spatial 
        Data Infrastructure with integrated applications and systems 
        will provide the level of geospatial preparedness required to 
        protect critical infrastructure, strategic assets, the economic 
        base, and persons.
            (3) Geospatial technology and information have proven to be 
        essential to enabling more informed decisionmaking, greater 
        efficiency, increased accountability, and better management in 
        all levels of government and the private sector.
            (4) Building spatial data once and then sharing it many 
        times between all levels of government and the private sector 
        increases the ability of information technology applications 
        and systems to provide better services to the public in a cost-
        effective manner.
            (5) The use of international, national, and industry 
        consensus standards to develop and deploy interoperable 
        geospatial data and geospatial technologies assists the 
        commercial geospatial industry to provide products that make it 
        easier, faster, and less expensive for all levels of government 
        and the private sector to share, integrate, and use geospatial 
        data for decisionmaking.
            (6) Establishing a new Federal Government program to 
        provide financial incentives to State, regional, local, and 
        tribal governments will greatly accelerate adoption of 
        international, national, and industry consensus standards.
            (7) Geospatial technologies and geospatial data can be 
        essential tools for virtually all functions of government and 
        business.
            (8) Geospatial preparedness in the United States is not 
        adequate due to a variety of factors including inadequate 
        geospatial data compatibility, insufficient geospatial data 
        sharing, technology interoperability barriers, institutional 
        and organizational resistance to new ways of doing business, 
        lack of financial incentives to improved use of geospatial 
        technologies, and inefficient geospatial data collection and 
        sharing.
            (9) Interoperable geospatial technology and geospatial data 
        capabilities are emerging and incentives are needed for full 
        adoption and for collaborative use to meet community and 
        national needs.
            (10) Geospatial technologies and geospatial data are 
        maintained by all levels of government and the private sector. 
        A comprehensive nationwide program is necessary to build and 
        maintain a standards-based geospatial spatial data 
        infrastructure and geographic information systems required to 
        respond to increasing demands.
            (11) State, regional, local, and tribal governments, the 
        private sector, and other non-government organizations are 
        investing in geospatial technologies and geospatial data. 
        Incentives are necessary to leverage these investments for more 
        effective use to meet community and national needs.
            (12) Establishing the Office of Geospatial Management, 
        administered by a Geospatial Information Officer, within the 
        Department of Homeland Security will ensure the most effective 
        and efficient management of programs and activities involving 
        geospatial technologies and geospatial data.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Syria Accountability Act of 2002''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On September 20, 2001, President George Bush stated at 
        a joint session of Congress that ``[e]very nation, in every 
        region, now has a decision to make . . . [e]ither you are with 
        us, or you are with the terrorists . . . [f]rom this day 
        forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support 
        terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile 
        regime''.
            (2) United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373 
        (September 28, 2001) mandates that all states ``refrain from 
        providing any form of support, active or passive, to entities 
        or persons involved in terrorist acts'', take ``the necessary 
        steps to prevent the commission of terrorist acts'', and ``deny 
        safe haven to those who finance, plan, support, or commit 
        terrorist acts''.
            (3) The Government of Syria is currently prohibited by 
        United States law from receiving United States assistance 
        because it is listed as state sponsor of terrorism.
            (4) Although the Department of State lists Syria as a state 
        sponsor of terrorism and reports that Syria provides ``safe 
        haven and support to several terrorist groups'', fewer United 
        States sanctions apply with respect to Syria than with respect 
        to any other country that is listed as a state sponsor of 
        terrorism.
            (5) Terrorist groups, including Hizballah, Hamas, the 
        Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Popular 
        Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command maintain 
        offices, training camps, and other facilities on Syrian 
        territory and operate in areas of Lebanon occupied by the 
        Syrian armed forces and receive supplies from Iran through 
        Syria.
            (6) United Nations Security Council Resolution 520 
        (September 17, 1982) calls for ``strict respect of the 
        sovereignty, territorial integrity, unity and political 
        independence of Lebanon under the sole and exclusive authority 
        of the Government of Lebanon through the Lebanese Army 
        throughout Lebanon''.
            (7) More than 20,000 Syrian troops and security personnel 
        occupy much of the sovereign territory of Lebanon exerting 
        undue influence upon its government and undermining its 
        political independence.
            (8) Since 1990 the Senate and House of Representatives have 
        passed seven bills and resolutions which call for the 
        withdrawal of Syrian armed forces from Lebanon.
            (9) Large and increasing numbers of the Lebanese people 
        from across the political spectrum in Lebanon have mounted 
        peaceful and democratic calls for the withdrawal of the Syrian 
        Army from Lebanese soil.
            (10) Israel has withdrawn all of its armed forces from 
        Lebanon in accordance with United Nations Security Council 
        Resolution 425 (March 19, 1978), as certified by the United 
        Nations Secretary General.
            (11) Even in the face of this United Nations certification 
        that acknowledged Israel's full compliance with Resolution 425, 
        Syria permits attacks by Hizballah and other militant 
        organizations on Israeli outposts at Shebaa Farms, under the 
        false guise that it remains Lebanese land, and is also 
        permitting attacks on civilian targets in Israel.
            (12) Syria will not allow Lebanon--a sovereign country--to 
        fulfill its obligation in accordance with Security Council 
        Resolution 425 to deploy its troops to southern Lebanon.
            (13) As a result, the Israeli-Lebanese border and much of 
        southern Lebanon is under the control of Hizballah which 
        continues to attack Israeli positions and allows Iranian 
        Revolutionary Guards and other militant groups to operate 
        freely in the area, destabilizing the entire region.
            (14) The United States provides $40,000,000 in assistance 
        to the Lebanese people through private nongovernmental 
        organizations, $7,900,000 of which is provided to Lebanese-
        American educational institutions.
            (15) In the State of the Union address on January 29, 2002, 
        President Bush declared that the United States will ``work 
        closely with our coalition to deny terrorists and their state 
        sponsors the materials, technology, and expertise to make and 
        deliver weapons of mass destruction''.
            (16) The Government of Syria continues to develop and 
        deploy short and medium range ballistic missiles.
            (17) The Government of Syria is pursuing the development 
        and production of biological and chemical weapons.
            (18) United Nations Security Council Resolution 661 (August 
        6, 1990) and subsequent relevant resolutions restrict the sale 
        of oil and other commodities by Iraq, except to the extent 
        authorized by other relevant resolutions.
            (19) Syria, a non-permanent United Nations Security Council 
        member, is receiving between 150,000 and 200,000 barrels of oil 
        from Iraq in violation of Security Council Resolution 661 and 
        subsequent relevant resolutions.
            (20) Syrian President Bashar Assad promised Secretary of 
        State Powell in February 2001 to end violations of Security 
        Council Resolution 661 but this pledge has not been fulfilled.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Government of Syria should immediately and 
        unconditionally halt support for terrorism, permanently and 
        openly declare its total renunciation of all forms of 
        terrorism, and close all terrorist offices and facilities in 
        Syria, including the offices of Hamas, Hizballah, the Popular 
        Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Popular Front 
        for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command;
            (2) the Government of Syria should immediately declare its 
        commitment to completely withdraw its armed forces, including 
        military, paramilitary, and security forces, from Lebanon, and 
        set a firm timetable for such withdrawal;
            (3) the Government of Lebanon should deploy the Lebanese 
        armed forces to all areas of Lebanon, including South Lebanon, 
        in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 
        520 (September 17, 1982), in order to assert the sovereignty of 
        the Lebanese state over all of its territory, and should evict 
        all terrorist and foreign forces from southern Lebanon, 
        including Hizballah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards;
            (4) the Government of Syria should halt the development and 
        deployment of short and medium range ballistic missiles and 
        cease the development and production of biological and chemical 
        weapons;
            (5) the Government of Syria should halt illegal imports and 
        transshipments of Iraqi oil and come into full compliance with 
        United Nations Security Council Resolution 661 and subsequent 
        relevant resolutions;
            (6) the Governments of Lebanon and Syria should enter into 
        serious unconditional bilateral negotiations with the 
        Government of Israel in order to realize a full and permanent 
        peace; and
            (7) the United States should continue to provide 
        humanitarian and educational assistance to the people of 
        Lebanon only through appropriate private, nongovernmental 
        organizations and appropriate international organizations, 
        until such time as the Government of Lebanon asserts 
        sovereignty and control over all of its territory and borders 
        and achieves full political independence, as called for in 
        United Nations Security Council Resolution 520.

SEC. 4. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It should be the policy of the United States that--
            (1) Syria will be held responsible for all attacks 
        committed by Hizballah and other terrorist groups with offices 
        or other facilities in Syria, or bases in areas of Lebanon 
        occupied by Syria;
            (2) the United States will work to deny Syria the ability 
        to support acts of international terrorism and efforts to 
        develop or acquire weapons of mass destruction;
            (3) the Secretary of State will continue to list Syria as a 
        state sponsor of terrorism until Syria ends its support for 
        terrorism, including its support of Hizballah and other 
        terrorist groups in Lebanon and its hosting of terrorist groups 
        in Damascus, and comes into full compliance with United States 
        law relating to terrorism and United Nations Security Council 
        Resolution 1373 (September 28, 2001);
            (4) the full restoration of Lebanon's sovereignty, 
        political independence, and territorial integrity is in the 
        national security interest of the United States;
            (5) Syria is in violation of United Nations Security 
        Council Resolution 520 (September 17, 1982) through its 
        continued occupation of Lebanese territory and its encroachment 
        upon its political independence;
            (6) Syria's obligation to withdraw from Lebanon is not 
        conditioned upon progress in the Israeli-Syrian or Israeli-
        Lebanese peace process but derives from Syria's obligation 
        under Security Council Resolution 520;
            (7) Syria's acquisition of weapons of mass destruction and 
        ballistic missile programs threaten the security of the Middle 
        East and the national interests of the United States;
            (8) Syria is in violation of United Nations Security 
        Council Resolution 661 (August 6, 1990) and subsequent relevant 
        resolutions through its continued purchase of oil from Iraq; 
        and
            (9) the United States will not provide any assistance to 
        Syria and will oppose multilateral assistance for Syria until 
        Syria withdraws its armed forces from Lebanon, halts the 
        development and deployment of weapons of mass destruction and 
        ballistic missiles, and complies with Security Council 
        Resolution 661 and subsequent relevant resolutions.
