Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Empowering Parents and Teachers for
a Drug-Free Education Act of 2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds as follows:
(1) Fifty-four percent of high school seniors in 2001 had
used an illicit drug in their lifetime.
(2) Forty-two percent of 12th graders, 37 percent of 10th
graders, and 20 percent of 8th graders in 2001 had used an
illicit drug in the past year.
(3) Eighty percent of 12th graders, 70 percent of 10th
graders, and 51 percent of 8th graders in 2001 had used alcohol
in their lifetime.
(4) Sixty-four percent of 12th graders, 48 percent of 10th
graders, and 23 percent of 8th graders in 2001 had been
intoxicated.
(5) Use of 3,4-methylenedioxy methamphetamine (commonly
referred to as ''MDMA'' or ''ecstasy'') by 12th graders
increased from 6 percent in 1998 to 11.7 percent in 2001.
(6) Schoolchildren who use and abuse addictive illicit
drugs or alcohol increase the risk to the health and safety of
all students and impact the learning environment of the school
because--
(A) use of illicit drugs or alcohol can lead to
serious health effects, the development of life-
threatening diseases, and even death;
(B) use of illicit drugs like marijuana or ecstasy
kills brain cells in the learning centers of the brain,
directly impacting a student's ability to learn in
school;
(C) chemicals left in the central nervous system
after using marijuana cause the brain to be irritated
and uncontrollable, resulting in disruptive behavior in
the classroom;
(D) students who smoke cigarettes or use other
illicit drugs have been shown to have less desire to
learn, resulting in lower grade point averages when
compared to other students; and
(E) students who use illicit drugs or alcohol have
a higher rate of breaking school rules.

Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Saudi Arabia Accountability Act of
2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373 (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''.
(2) The Council on Foreign Relations concluded in an
October 2002 report on terrorist financing that ''[f]or years,
individuals and charities based in Saudi Arabia have been the
most important source of funds for al-Qaeda, and for years,
Saudi officials have turned a blind eye to this problem''.
(3) In a June 2004 report entitled ''Update on the Global
Campaign Against Terrorist Financing'', the Council on Foreign
Relations reported that ''[w]e find it regrettable and
unacceptable that since September 11, 2001, we know of not a
single Saudi donor of funds to terrorist groups who has been
publicly punished''.
(4) According to the final report of the National
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, when
asked where terrorist leaders would likely locate their bases,
military officers and government officials repeatedly listed
Saudi Arabia as a prime location.
(5) A report released on January 28, 2005 by Freedom
House's Center for Religious Freedom found that Saudi Arabia is
the state most responsible for the propagation of material
promoting hatred, intolerance, and violence within United
States mosques and Islamic centers, and that these publications
are often official publications of a Saudi ministry or
distributed by the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, DC.
(6) During a July 2003 hearing on terrorism before the
Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security of
the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate, David Aufhauser,
General Counsel of the Treasury Department, stated that Saudi
Arabia is, in many cases, the ''epicenter'' of financing for
terrorism.
(7) The New York Times, citing United States and Israeli
sources, reported on September 17, 2003, that at least 50
percent of the current operating budget of Hamas comes from
''people in Saudi Arabia''.
(8) The Middle East Media Research Institute concluded in a
July 3, 2003, report on Saudi support for Palestinian
terrorists that ''for decades, the royal family of the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia has been the main financial supporter of
Palestinian groups fighting Israel''. The report notes
specifically that Saudi-sponsored organizations have funneled
over $4,000,000,000 to finance the Palestinian intifada that
began in September 2000.
(9) A joint committee of the Select Committee on
Intelligence of the Senate and the Permanent Select Committee
on Intelligence of the House of Representatives issued a report
on July 24, 2003, that quotes various United States Government
personnel who complained that the Saudis refused to cooperate
in the investigation of Osama bin Laden and his network both
before and after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
(10) After the 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers housing
complex at Dahran, Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 United States
Air Force personnel and wounded approximately 400 people, the
Government of Saudi Arabia refused to allow United States
officials to question individuals held in detention by the
Saudis in connection with the attack.
(11) As recounted by counterterrorism officials in a
September 2003 issue of Time Magazine, Saudi Arabia denied
United States officials access to several suspects in the
custody of the Government of Saudi Arabia, including a Saudi
Arabian citizen in detention for months who had knowledge of
extensive plans to inject poison gas in the New York City
subway system.
(12) The United States Commission on International
Religious Freedom has reported that Saudi Arabian Government-
funded textbooks used both in Saudi Arabia and also in North
American Islamic schools and mosques have been found to
encourage incitement to violence against non-Muslims.
(13) There are indications that, since the May 12, 2003,
suicide bombings in Riyadh, the Government of Saudi Arabia is
making a more serious effort to combat terrorism.
(14) An official website of the Saudi Arabian Government's
Supreme Commission for Tourism included the following text:
''Visas will not be issued for the following groups of
people:
''An Israeli passport holder or a passport that has
an Israeli arrival/departure stamp.
''Those who don't abide by the Saudi traditions
concerning appearance and behaviors. Those under the
influence of alcohol will not be permitted into the
Kingdom.
''There are certain regulations for pilgrims and
you should contact the consulate for more information.
''Jewish People.''.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) it is imperative that the Government of Saudi Arabia
immediately and unconditionally--
(A) provide complete, unrestricted, and
unobstructed cooperation to the United States,

investigation of groups and individuals that are
suspected of financing, supporting, plotting, or
committing an act of terror against United States
citizens anywhere in the world, including within the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia;
(B) permanently close all charities, schools, or
other organizations or institutions in the Kingdom of

providing support for the families of individuals who
have committed acts of terrorism;

organizations''), including by means of providing
support for the families of individuals who have
committed acts of terrorism; and
(D) block all funding from private Saudi citizens
and entities to any Saudi-based terror organization or
offshore terrorism organization; and
(2) the President, in deciding whether to make the
certification under section 4, should judge whether the

SEC. 7. APPROPRIATE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES DEFINED.

In this Act, the term ''appropriate congressional committees''
means the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives
and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate.

Answer:
Saudi Arabia Accountability Act of 2009 - Expresses the sense of Congress that the government of Saudi Arabia: (1) cooperate fully with the United States in the investigation of terror groups and individuals; (2) close permanently all organizations in Saudi Arabia that fund, train, encourage, or in any way aid terrorism anywhere in the world, and end funding for such organizations outside Saudi Arabia; and (3) block funding from private Saudi citizens and entities to Saudi-based or offshore terror organizations.
