Q: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States must have adequate infrastructure and
policies in place under the Department of Homeland Security to
protect against potential terrorists attempting to enter the
United States along the Southwest Border.
(2) According to top government officials, several Al Qaeda
leaders believe operatives can pay their way into the country
through Mexico and also believe illegal entry is more
advantageous than legal entry for operational security reasons.
(3) Official border patrol records reveal a disturbing
trend on the southern border indicating a growth in other than
Mexicans (OTMs), many from countries of interest, crossing into
the United States--between 2003 and 2004 the increase was at
least 35 percent.
(4) Because of budget constraints, the U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement Office of Detention and Removal does not
have sufficient bed space to detain all illegal immigrants from
special interest countries therefore releasing them on personal
recognizance.
(5) The Department of Homeland Security estimates that up
to 90 percent of these immigrants do not appear for their
immigration hearings.
(6) The Department of Homeland Security needs more
personnel at the borders with the necessary security clearances
and equipment to adequately screen and detain immigrants coming
to the United States.
(7) The Secretary of Homeland Security should provide
appropriate training for inspectors, and associated support
staff, on an ongoing basis to utilize new technologies and to
ensure that the proficiency levels of such personnel are
acceptable to protect the borders of the United States.

SEC. 2. IMPROVEMENT IN SECURITY CLEARANCE PROCESS ALONG THE UNITED
STATES-MEXICO BORDER AND INCREASE IN DETENTION BEDS.

(a) Improvement in Security Clearance Process.--The Secretary of
Homeland Security shall--
(1) expeditiously implement policies ensuring that
personnel of the Department of Homeland Security along the
United States-Mexico border have the security clearances
required to access information necessary to adequately screen
immigrants entering the United States at such border, including
IDENT and IAFIS databases and databases used by the
Department's inspectors in secondary inspections;
(2) develop the interagency agreements and information
technology infrastructure necessary for border agents to
adequately screen immigrants entering the United States at such
border; and
(3) explore information sharing programs with countries of
interest to adequately screen immigrants entering our borders.
(b) Increase in Detention Beds.--Subject to the availability of
appropriations, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall increase by
the amount necessary the number of detention beds needed to detain all
immigrants apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
(c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the
Office of Detention and Removal Operation should be placed under the

SEC. 5. PROMPT AND PROPER ENFORCEMENT.

(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) prosecutors and immigration judges are critical for the
prompt and proper enforcement of our immigration laws, and are
an important part of a comprehensive strategy; and
(2) an insufficient number of prosecutors and immigration
judges currently exists to enforce the immigration laws of the
United States.
(b) Authorization.--There are hereby authorized to be appropriated
amounts necessary to provide for appropriate staff increases for
judicial and prosecutorial offices, commensurate with other personnel
increases directed in this Act.

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''United States-India Energy Security
Cooperation Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The December 2004 National Intelligence Council report
entitled ''Mapping the Global Future in 2020'' states that the
single most important factor affecting the demand for energy
will be global economic growth, especially that of China and
India. It is estimated that the current economic growth rate in
India is approximately 7 percent of gross domestic product.
India will need to double its energy consumption within the
next 15 years to maintain steady rates of economic growth.
(2) The United States and India launched an energy dialogue
on May 31, 2005, aimed at building upon a broad range of
existing energy cooperation and developing new avenues of
collaboration on energy. These efforts will promote increased
trade and investment in the energy sector by utilizing
resources in the public and private sectors, focusing on oil
and gas, power and energy efficiency, new technologies and
renewable energy, coal and clean coal technology, and civil
nuclear cooperation. In his testimony before the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the Senate on July 26, 2005, Under
Secretary of Energy David Garman said, ''The United States and
India recognize their mutual interests are best served by
working together in a collaborative fashion to ensure stability
in global energy markets.''.
(3) As the sixth largest energy consumer in the world,
India satisfies 70 percent of its oil demand with imports and
has embarked on an aggressive oil and gas exploration program.
The largest discovery of natural gas in the world in 2002
occurred in India. In 2003, the largest discovery of oil in the
world occurred in the state of Rajasthan in India. External
funding and investment in the oil and gas industry in India is
necessary to maximize recovery from oil fields, but an improved
investment environment in India is needed to attract such
investment.
(4) India is the world's third largest producer of coal and
will continue to rely on coal as a major energy source to
support expanding industrial and electric power generation
needs. However, many of India's coal-fired plants are
inefficient and lack adequate pollution control equipment. In
his address to a joint session of the United States Congress on
July 19, 2005, Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh noted the
importance of allowing greater access for developing countries
to clean coal technologies and of exploring partnerships that
encourage more efficient use of hydrocarbon resources.
(5) India provides a market for United States technologies
that promote the clean and efficient use of energy.
(6) India has announced plans to develop a 5,000,000 ton
strategic crude oil reserve, which is expected to be completed
by 2009.
(7) United States energy experts have emphasized the need
for the United States to increase collaboration with other
countries--
(A) to develop and deploy energy technologies that
will not be pursued absent greater Federal support;
(B) to increase investment in cooperative
international energy research; and
(C) to expand the global network of strategic
petroleum reserves.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

It is the policy of the United States--
(1) to cooperate with India to address common energy
challenges, to ensure future global energy security, and to
increase the world-wide availability of clean energy;
(2) to promote dialogue and increased understanding between
the United States and India on our respective national energy
policies and strategies as an integral part of the expanding
strategic partnership between the two countries; and
(3) to collaborate with India in energy research that
fosters market-based approaches to energy security and offers
the promise of technological breakthroughs that reduce oil
dependency globally.

SEC. 4. ASSISTANCE TO SUPPORT ENERGY COOPERATION.

(a) Authorization.--The President is authorized to establish
programs in support of greater energy cooperation between the United
States and India.
(b) Activities.--Assistance may be provided under this section for
cooperation related to--
(1) research, development, and deployment of clean coal and
emission reduction technologies and carbon sequestration
projects;
(2) research, development, and deployment of alternative
fuel sources, such as ethanol, bio-mass, and coal-based fuels;
(3) research, development, and deployment of energy
efficiency and renewable energy projects and technologies;
(4) research related to commercially available technologies
that promote the clean and efficient use of energy in India;
and
(5) technical assistance in support of the development by
the Government of India of a strategic oil reserve to allow
India to cope with short-term disruptions to global oil
supplies without causing shocks to India's market or the global
market.

SEC. 5. REPORT ON ENERGY COOPERATION.

(a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall, in coordination
with the Secretary of Energy, submit to the Committee on Foreign
Relations and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the
Senate and the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on
International Relations of the House of Representatives a report on
energy security cooperation between the United States and India.
(b) Content.--The report required under subsection (a) shall
describe--
(1) the ways in which the United States and India have
cooperated on energy research and development activities;
(2) joint projects that have been initiated using
assistance authorized under section 4, and the contribution
such assistance has made to improving global energy security;
