PUBLIC LAW 111–73—OCT. 15, 2009 
(2) Since 2001, the United States has contributed more 
than $15,000,000,000 to Pakistan, of which more than 
$10,000,000,000 has been security-related assistance and direct 
payments. 
(3) With the free and fair election of February 18, 2008, 
Pakistan returned to civilian rule, reversing years of political 
tension and mounting popular concern over military rule and 
Pakistan’s own democratic reform and political development. 
(4) Pakistan is a major non-NATO ally of the United States 
and has been a valuable partner in the battle against al Qaeda 
and the Taliban, but much more remains to be accomplished 
by both nations. 
(5) The struggle against al Qaeda, the Taliban, and affili-
ated terrorist groups has led to the deaths of several thousand 
Pakistani civilians and members of the security forces of Paki-
stan over the past seven years. 
(6) Despite killing or capturing hundreds of al Qaeda 
operatives and other terrorists—including major al Qaeda 
leaders, such as Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, Ramzi bin al- 
Shibh, and Abu Faraj al-Libi—the FATA, parts of the NWFP, 
Quetta in Balochistan, and Muridke in Punjab remain a sanc-
tuary for al Qaeda, the Afghan Taliban, the Terikh-e Taliban 
and affiliated groups from which these groups organize terrorist 
actions against Pakistan and other countries. 
(7) The security forces of Pakistan have struggled to contain 
a Taliban-backed insurgency, recently taking direct action 
against those who threaten Pakistan’s security and stability, 
including military operations in the FATA and the NWFP. 
(8) On March 27, 2009, President Obama noted, ‘‘Multiple 
intelligence estimates have warned that al Qaeda is actively 
planning attacks on the United States homeland from its safe- 
haven in Pakistan.’’. 
(9) According to a Government Accountability Office report 
(GAO–08–622), ‘‘since 2003, the [A]dministration’s national 
security strategies and Congress have recognized that a com-
prehensive plan that includes all elements of national power— 
diplomatic, military, intelligence, development assistance, eco-
nomic, and law enforcement support—was needed to address 
the terrorist threat emanating from the FATA’’ and that such 
a strategy was also mandated by section 7102(b)(3) of the 
Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 
(Public Law 108–458; 22 U.S.C. 2656f note) and section 
2042(b)(2) of the Implementing the Recommendations of the 
9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110–53; 22 U.S.C. 
2375 note). 
(10) During 2008 and 2009, the people of Pakistan have 
been especially hard hit by rising food and commodity prices 
and severe energy shortages, with 2⁄3 of the population living 
on less than $2 a day and 1⁄5 of the population living below 
the poverty line according to the United Nations Development 
Program. 
(11) Economic growth is a fundamental foundation for 
human security and national stability in Pakistan, a country 
with more than 175,000,000 people, an annual population 
growth rate of two percent, and a ranking of 136 out of 177 
countries in the United Nations Human Development Index.

PUBLIC LAW 111–73—OCT. 15, 2009 
(12) The 2009 Pakistani military offensive in the NWFP 
and the FATA displaced millions of residents in one of the 
gravest humanitarian crises Pakistan has faced, and despite 
the heroic efforts of Pakistanis to respond to the needs of 
the displaced millions and facilitate the return of many, it 
has highlighted the need for Pakistan to develop an effective 
national counterinsurgency strategy. 
SEC. 4. STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES. 
Congress declares that the relationship between the United 
States and Pakistan should be based on the following principles: 
(1) Pakistan is a critical friend and ally to the United 
States, both in times of strife and in times of peace, and 
the two countries share many common goals, including com-
bating terrorism and violent radicalism, solidifying democracy 
and rule of law in Pakistan, and promoting the social and 
economic development of Pakistan. 
(2) United States assistance to Pakistan is intended to 
supplement, not supplant, Pakistan’s own efforts in building 
a stable, secure, and prosperous Pakistan. 
(3) The United States requires a balanced, integrated, 
countrywide strategy for Pakistan that provides assistance 
throughout the country and does not disproportionately focus 
on security-related assistance or one particular area or province. 
(4) The United States supports Pakistan’s struggle against 
extremist elements and recognizes the profound sacrifice made 
by Pakistan in the fight against terrorism, including the loss 
of more than 1,900 soldiers and police since 2001 in combat 
with al Qaeda, the Taliban, and other extremist and terrorist 
groups. 
(5) The United States intends to work with the Government 
of Pakistan— 
(A) to build mutual trust and confidence by actively 
and consistently pursuing a sustained, long-term, multi-
faceted relationship between the two countries, devoted 
to strengthening the mutual security, stability, and pros-
perity of both countries; 
(B) to support the people of Pakistan and their demo-
cratic government in their efforts to consolidate democracy, 
including strengthening Pakistan’s parliament, helping 
Pakistan reestablish an independent and transparent 
judicial system, and working to extend the rule of law 
in all areas in Pakistan; 
(C) to promote sustainable long-term development and 
infrastructure projects, including in healthcare, education, 
water management, and energy programs, in all areas of 
Pakistan, that are sustained and supported by each succes-
sive democratic government in Pakistan; 
(D) to ensure that all the people of Pakistan, including 
those living in areas governed by the Frontier Crimes 
Regulation, have access to public, modernized education 
and vocational training to enable them to provide for them-
selves, for their families, and for a more prosperous future 
for their children; 
(E) to support the strengthening of core curricula and 
the quality of schools across Pakistan, including madrassas, 
in order to improve the prospects for Pakistani children’s
