        a democratic, stable, and prosperous Iraq displayed by members 
        of the United States Armed Forces and civilian personnel in 
        Iraq and by personnel serving world-wide in support of 
        Operation Iraqi Freedom.
            (2) Congress remains supportive of and inspired by the 
        service and sacrifice made by and dedication and commitment to 
        a democratic, stable, and prosperous Iraq displayed by the 
        military and civilian personnel of Coalition countries serving 
        in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Iraqi patriots 
        working toward a better future for their country and the 
        children of Iraq.
            (3) Congress recognizes the complex and interdependent 
        nature of the challenges associated with the political, 
        security, infrastructure, and economic development of and 
        governance capacity building at and between the national, 
        national capital city, regional, provincial, provincial capital 
        city, and strategic municipal levels of government within Iraq.
            (4) Congress recognizes the achievements to date made by

            (7) Congress urges elected Iraqis to maintain their

            (8) Congress remains deeply concerned about insurgent 
        attacks and threats against United States Armed Forces, 
        Coalition Forces, Iraqi Security Forces, and civilians in Iraq.
            (9) Congress is concerned about the increase of ethnic and 
        sectarian violence in Iraq following the February 22, 2006, 
        bombing of the Askariya mosque in Samarra, Iraq, and about 
        continued ethnic and sectarian tensions across Iraq and within 
        its cities.
            (10) Congress is concerned about the increasing power that

        destabilizing effect on security in Iraq, and the challenges 
        they present to the development of professional Iraqi Security 
        Forces.
            (11) Congress urges the Government of Iraq to continue to 
        pursue policies to promote the development of--
                    (A) a market-based economy in Iraq that increases 
                private-sector employment opportunities for Iraqi 
                workers;
                    (B) private-sector investment opportunities for 
                domestic and international investors; and
                    (C) a government budget process that reflects an 
                appropriate level of investment in the development of 
                and the continued operations and maintenance for Iraq's 
                national infrastructure.
            (12) Congress notes that the National Strategy for Victory 
        in Iraq is not specific regarding vital measures or other 
        benchmarks in Iraq's political, security, infrastructure, and 
        economic development that need to be met to signal to Congress 
        and the American people that victory in Iraq has been achieved 
        and the majority of United States Armed Forces currently 
        deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom can be redeployed to their 
        peacetime duty stations.
            (13) Congress notes the findings of the reports pursuant to 
        the section entitled ``Measuring Stability and Security in 
        Iraq'' of House Conference Report 109-72 accompanying H.R. 
        1268, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, 
        the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005 (Public Law 
        109-13), submitted by the Secretary of Defense (in consultation 
        with other appropriate members of the National Security 
        Council) to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the 
        Majority Leader of the Senate, and the congressional defense 
        committees that identifies security, economic, and Iraqi 
        Security Force training performance standards and goals, 
        accompanied by a notional timetable for achieving these goals.
            (14) Congress notes the report submitted pursuant to the 
        United States Policy in Iraq Act (section 1227 of the National 
        Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (Public Law 109-
        163); 119 Stat. 3465-3467), and the current military mission 
        and the diplomatic, political, economic, and military measures 
        that are being or have been undertaken to successfully complete 
        or support that mission.
            (15) Congress reaffirms the findings of the section 
        entitled ``Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq'' of House 
        Conference Report 109-72 and of section 1227 of the National 
        Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006, and notes the 
        advantages of consolidating various reports into a single 
        report, from the President, that reflects the requirements of 
        both laws referenced in paragraphs (13) and (14) and that 
        includes the requirements of section 4 of this Act.
            (16) Congress is concerned that the reports submitted to 
        Congress pursuant to the section entitled ``Measuring Stability 
        and Security in Iraq'' of House Conference Report 109-72 and of 
        section 1227 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
        Fiscal Year 2006, do not provide sufficient content, 
        information, data, and analysis for Congress to comprehensively 
        evaluate the mission in Iraq.
            (17) Congress urges that the reports transmitted pursuant 
        to section 4 of this Act be organized and written to provide 
        content, information, data, and analysis on the mission in Iraq 
        as it pertains to the political, security, infrastructure, and 
        economic development of and governance capacity building at and 
        between the national, national capital city, regional, 
        provincial, provincial capital city, and strategic municipal 
        levels of government within Iraq.
            (18) It is the duty of Congress under Article I, Section 8 
        of the United States Constitution to ``raise and support 
        Armies,'' and that by requiring the President to report to 
        Congress on Operation Iraqi Freedom, Congress is better able to 
        carry out this constitutional duty.

                Antonio Road, as generally depicted on the maps 
                entitled `El Camino Real de los Tejas', contained in 
                the report prepared pursuant to subsection (b) entitled 
                `National Historic Trail Feasibility Study and 
                Environmental Assessment: El Camino Real de los Tejas,

                of this trail system as a national historic trail as 
                set forth in this paragraph.
                    ``(B) Establishment.--
                            ``(i) Publicly owned lands.--Congress 
                        authorizes the establishment of El Camino Real 
                        de los Tejas national historic trail and the

                        the historic trail routes and related historic 
                        sites within publicly owned lands when such 
                        trail related resources meet the purposes of 
                        this Act or certification criteria set by the 
                        Secretary of the Interior per section 3(a)(3) 
                        of this Act.
                            ``(ii) Privately owned lands.--Congress

                        the voluntary and expressed consent of the 
                        owner and when such trails and sites qualify 
                        for certification as officially established 
                        components of the national historic trail. The 
                        owner's approval of a certification agreement 
                        satisfies the consent requirement. 
                        Certification agreements are not legally 
                        binding and may be terminated at any time.

                        site, the certification will cease to be valid

                enter private property without the consent of the 
                owner. Nothing in this Act or in the establishment of 
                any portion of the national historic trail will 
                authorize the Federal Government to restrict private 
                property owner's use or enjoyment of their property 
                subject to other laws or regulations. Authorization of 
                El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail 
                under this Act does not itself confer any additional 
                authority to apply other Federal laws and regulations

                regulations requiring public entities and agencies to 
                take into consideration a national historic trail shall 
                continue to apply notwithstanding the foregoing.

                purposes of El Camino Real de los Tejas National 
                Historic Trail.
                    ``(D) Coordination of activities.--The Secretary of
