Definition: In this task, you are given text for US Congressional and California state bills, your task is to generate a summary for this bill.
Input: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has been involved militarily, and
with nation building and reconstruction, in the Islamic
Republic of Afghanistan since 2001.
(2) The United States military engagement in Afghanistan
began in 2001 under a congressional authorization for the use
of military force against ''those nations, organizations, or
persons [the President] determines planned, authorized,
committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on
September 11, 2001.''.
(3) On October 2, 2011, United States Navy Seals killed
Osama Bin Laden, the head of Al-Qaeda, the terrorist
organization responsible for the September 11, 2001, attacks on
the United States.
(4) Since 2001, the United States military and its
coalition partners have killed or captured tens of thousands of
Al Qaeda, Taliban, and other insurgents in Afghanistan.
(5) In 2014, the United States announced the end of 13
years of combat operations in Afghanistan.
(6) The war in Afghanistan is the longest war in American
history.
(7) According to the Department of Defense, since 2001,
2,216 United States service members have been killed in
Afghanistan, and over 20,049 service members have been wounded.
(8) Since 2001, 150 coalition personnel, including United
States service members, have been killed by the Afghan security
forces personnel that American taxpayers are paying to train.
Another 189 service members have been wounded.
(9) Over the past 15 years, nearly $800 billion of United
States taxpayers' money has been spent on Afghanistan.
(10) The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan
Reconstruction (SIGAR), John Sopko, has documented billions of
dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse of American taxpayers hard-
earned money in Afghanistan, which continues to this day. For
example:
(A) According to a 2016 USA Today article entitled
''Report cites wasted Pentagon money in Afghanistan'',
among the more egregious examples of boondoggles Sopko
cited included ''importing rare blond Italian goats to
boost the cashmere industry''. The $6 million program
included shipping nine male goats to western
Afghanistan from Italy, setting up a farm, lab, and
staff to certify their wool.
(B) An ongoing SIGAR investigation found that
American taxpayers are paying as many as 200,000
fictitious Afghan ''ghost'' soldiers, potentially
costing hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
(11) On May 1, 2012, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and
United States President Barack Obama signed the ''Enduring
Strategic Partnership Agreement between the Islamic Republic of
Afghanistan and the United States of America'', which committed
the United States to supporting the social and economic
development, and security, of Afghanistan for at least 10
years. The agreement was submitted to the Afghan Parliament,
which approved it. However, the agreement was never submitted
to, voted on, or approved by the Congress of the United States.
(12) The United States continues to maintain a military
presence of 8,400 troops in Afghanistan, and continues to
annually spend roughly $43 billion of American taxpayers' money
there. That money funds, among other things, America's 15-year-
long effort to train and equip Afghan military and police
forces, as well as a variety of reconstruction and foreign aid
programs.
(13) General Charles Krulak, 31st Commandant of the United
States Marine Corps, has stated, ''Attempting to find a true
military and political answer to the problems in Afghanistan
would take decades, not years, and drain our nation of precious
resources . . . with the most precious being our sons and
daughters. Simply put, the U.S. cannot solve the Afghan problem
. . . no matter how brave and determined our troops are.''.
(14) In a January 2017 article in the Wall Street Journal,
Hamid Karzai, former President of the Islamic Republic of
Afghanistan from 2004 to 2014, stated, ''The fact is that the
U.S. presence in Afghanistan has not brought security to us. It
has caused more extremism.''.
(15) There has never been a full debate in Congress on
whether to continue the United States engagement in
Afghanistan.
