        capability to provide electronic directory services, or the 
        functional equivalent, to assist in locating in the Federal 
        Government intelligence and terrorism information and people 
        with relevant knowledge about intelligence and terrorism

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) In conducting the war on terrorism, the Federal 
        Government may need additional powers and may need to enhance 
        the use of its existing powers.
            (2) This potential shift of power and authority to the 
        Federal Government calls for an enhanced system of checks and 
        balances to protect the precious liberties that are vital to our 
        way of life.

    (b) Establishment of Board.--There is established within the 
Executive Office of the President a Privacy and Civil Liberties 
Oversight Board (referred to in this section as the ``Board'').
    (c) Functions.--
            (1) Advice and counsel on development and implementation of 
        policy.--For the purpose of providing advice to the President or 
        to the head of any department or agency of the executive branch,

                policies related to efforts to protect the Nation from

                (f) of section 1016;
                    (B) review the implementation of laws, regulations, 
                and executive branch policies related to efforts to 
                protect the Nation from terrorism, including the 
                implementation

[[Page 118 STAT. 3685]]

                of information sharing guidelines under subsections (d) 
                and (f) of section 1016;
                    (C) advise the President and the head of any 
                department or agency of the executive branch to ensure 
                that privacy and civil liberties are appropriately 
                considered in the development and implementation of such 
                regulations and executive branch policies; and
                    (D) in providing advice on proposals to retain or 
                enhance a particular governmental power, consider 
                whether the department, agency, or element of the

                          (i) that there is adequate supervision of the 
                      use by the executive branch of the power to ensure 
                      protection of privacy and civil liberties;
                          (ii) that there are adequate guidelines and 
                      oversight to properly confine the use of the 
                      power; and
                          (iii) that the need for the power, including 
                      the risk presented to the national security if the 
                      Federal Government does not take certain actions,

                    (B) the information sharing practices of the 
                departments, agencies, and elements of the executive 
                branch to determine whether or not such practices 
                appropriately protect privacy and civil liberties and 
                adhere to the information sharing guidelines under 
                subsections (d) and (f) of section 1016 and to other 
                applicable laws, regulations, and executive branch

                liberties.

weaknesses in the United States asylum system and withholding of removal

in connection with, or tied to terrorist activity.

    (b) Elements.--The study under subsection (a) shall address, but not 
be limited to, the following:

[[Page 118 STAT. 3738]]

            (1) The number of aliens connected to, tied to, charged in 
        connection with, or who claim to have been accused of or charged 
        in connection with terrorist activity who have applied for, been 
        granted, or been denied asylum.
            (2) The number of aliens connected to, tied to, charged in 
        connection with, or who claim to have been accused of or charged 
        in connection with terrorist activity who have applied for, been 
        granted, or been denied release from detention.
            (3) The number of aliens connected to, tied to, charged in 
        connection with, or who claim to have been accused of or charged 
        in connection with terrorist activity who have been denied 
        asylum but who remain at large in the United States.
            (4) The effect of the confidentiality provisions of section 
        208.6 of title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, on the ability of 
        the United States Government to establish that an alien is 
        connected to or tied to terrorist activity, such that the alien 
        is barred from asylum or withholding of removal, is removable 
        from the United States, or both.
            (5) The effect that precedential decisions, if any, holding 
        that the extrajudicial punishment of an individual connected to 
        terrorism, or guerrilla or militant activity abroad, or threats 
        of such punishment, constitute persecution on account of 
        political opinion as defined in section 101(a)(42) of the 
        Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(42)), have had

        whom the United States Government believes are connected to or 
        have ties to terrorism.
            (6) The extent to which court precedents have affected the 
        ability of the United States Government to determine or prove 
        that an alien the United States Government believes to be 
        connected to or tied to terrorism is in fact so connected or 
        tied, including--
                    (A) so-called ``imputed political opinion'';
                    (B) judicial review, reversal, or both of the 
                credibility determinations of immigration judges; and
                    (C) the need to use classified information in 
                removal proceedings against aliens suspected of 
                connections or ties to terrorism.
            (7) The likelihood that an alien connected to or with ties 
        to terrorism has been granted asylum or withholding of removal.
            (8) The likelihood that an alien connected to or with ties 
        to terrorism has used the United States asylum system to enter 
        or remain in the United States in order to plan, conspire, or 
        carry out, or attempt to plan, conspire, or carry out, an act of 
        terrorism.

    (c) Consideration and Assessment.--Solely for purposes of conducting 
the study under subsection (a), the Comptroller General shall consider 
the possibility, and assess the likelihood, that an alien whom the 
United States Government accuses or has accused of having a connection 
to or ties to terrorism is in fact connected to or tied to terrorism, 
notwithstanding any administrative or judicial determination to the 
contrary.
    (d) Scope.--In conducting the study under subsection (a), the 
Comptroller General shall seek information from the Department of 
Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central 
Intelligence Agency, the Department of Justice, foreign

        Code of Federal Regulations, the Comptroller General shall, for 
        purposes of the study under subsection (a), have access to the 
        applications and administrative and judicial records of alien 
        applicants for asylum and withholding of removal. Except for 
        purposes of preparing the reports under subsection (f), such 
        information shall not be further disclosed or disseminated, nor 
        shall the names or personal identifying information of any 
        applicant be released.
            (2) Security of records.--The Comptroller General shall 
        ensure that records received pursuant to this section are 
        appropriately secured to prevent their inadvertent disclosure.

                in subsection (a) as the Comptroller General considers 
                necessary to better protect the national security of the 
                United States.
                    (C) Any recommendations of the Comptroller General 
                for such legislative action on any matter specified in 
                subsection (a) as the Comptroller General considers 
                necessary to better protect the national security of the 
                United States.
            (3) Form.--If necessary, the Comptroller General may submit 
        a classified and unclassified version of the report under 
        paragraph (1).

                          note.>> OF CRIMINAL RECORDS OF 
                          APPLICANTS FOR PRIVATE SECURITY OFFICER 
                          EMPLOYMENT.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Private 
Security Officer Employment Authorization Act of 2004''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) employment of private security officers in the United 
        States is growing rapidly;
            (2) private security officers function as an adjunct to, but 
        not a replacement for, public law enforcement by helping to 
        reduce and prevent crime;
            (3) such private security officers protect individuals, 
        property, and proprietary information, and provide protection to 
        such diverse operations as banks, hospitals, research and 
        development centers, manufacturing facilities, defense and 
        aerospace contractors, high technology businesses, nuclear power 
        plants, chemical companies, oil and gas refineries, airports, 
        communication facilities and operations, office complexes, 
        schools, residential properties, apartment complexes, gated 
        communities, and others;
            (4) sworn law enforcement officers provide significant 
        services to the citizens of the United States in its public 
        areas, and are supplemented by private security officers;
            (5) the threat of additional terrorist attacks requires 
        cooperation between public and private sectors and demands 
        professional, reliable, and responsible security officers for 
        the protection of people, facilities, and institutions;
            (6) the trend in the Nation toward growth in such security 
        services has accelerated rapidly;
            (7) such growth makes available more public sector law 
        enforcement officers to combat serious and violent crimes, 
        including terrorism;
            (8) the American public deserves the employment of 
        qualified, well-trained private security personnel as an adjunct 
        to sworn law enforcement officers; and
            (9) private security officers and applicants for private 
        security officer positions should be thoroughly screened and 
        trained.

    (c) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Employee.--The term ``employee'' includes both a current 
        employee and an applicant for employment as a private security

                is to perform security services, full or part time, for 
                consideration, whether armed or unarmed and in uniform

        (commonly known as ``dirty bombs'') could be used by terrorists 
        to inflict enormous loss of life and damage to property and the 
        environment.
            (3) Variola virus is the causative agent of smallpox, an 
        extremely serious, contagious, and sometimes fatal disease. 
        Variola virus is classified as a Category A agent by the Centers 
        for Disease Control and Prevention, meaning that it is believed 
        to pose the greatest potential threat for adverse public health 
        impact and has a moderate to high potential for large-scale 
        dissemination. The last case of smallpox in the United States 
        was in 1949. The last naturally occurring case in the world was 
        in Somalia in 1977. Although smallpox has been officially 
        eradicated after a successful worldwide vaccination program, 
        there remain two official repositories of the variola virus for 
        research purposes. Because it is so dangerous, the variola virus 
        may appeal to terrorists.
            (4) The use, or even the threatened use, of MANPADS, atomic 
        or radiological weapons, or the variola virus, against the 
        United States, its allies, or its people, poses a grave risk to 
        the security, foreign policy, economy, and environment of the 
        United States. Accordingly, the United States has a compelling 
        national security interest in preventing unlawful activities 
        that lead to the proliferation or spread of such items, 
        including their unauthorized production, construction, 
        acquisition, transfer, possession, import, or export. All of 
        these activities markedly increase the chances that such items 
        will be obtained by terrorist organizations or rogue states, 
        which could use them to attack the United States, its allies, or 
        United States nationals or corporations.
            (5) There is no legitimate reason for a private individual 
        or company, absent explicit government authorization, to 
        produce, construct, otherwise acquire, transfer, receive, 
        possess, import, export, or use MANPADS, atomic or radiological 
        weapons, or the variola virus.

    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subtitle is to combat the 
potential use of weapons that have the ability to cause widespread harm 
to United States persons and the United States economy

[[Page 118 STAT. 3770]]

(and that have no legitimate private use) and to threaten or harm the 
national security or foreign relations of the United States.

        use of all elements of national power, including diplomacy, 
        military action, intelligence, covert action, law enforcement, 
        economic policy, foreign aid, public diplomacy, and homeland 
        defense.

[[Page 118 STAT. 3776]]

            (2) To win the war on terrorism, the United States must 
        assign to economic and diplomatic capabilities the same 
        strategic priority that is assigned to military capabilities.
            (3) The legislative and executive branches of the Government 
        of the United States must commit to robust, long-term 
        investments in all of the tools necessary for the foreign policy 
        of the United States to successfully accomplish the goals of the 
        United States.
            (4) The investments referred to in paragraph (3) will 
        require increased funding to United States foreign affairs 
        programs in general, and to priority areas as described in this 
        title in particular.

SEC. 7102. TERRORIST SANCTUARIES.

    (a) <<NOTE: 22 USC 2656f note.>> Findings.--Consistent with the 
report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Complex terrorist operations require locations that 
        provide such operations sanctuary from interference by 
        Government or law enforcement personnel.
            (2) A terrorist sanctuary existed in Afghanistan before 
        September 11, 2001.
            (3) The terrorist sanctuary in Afghanistan provided direct 
        and indirect value to members of al Qaeda who participated in 
        the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 
        2001, and in other terrorist operations.
            (4) Terrorist organizations have fled to some of the least 
        governed and most lawless places in the world to find sanctuary.
            (5) During the 21st century, terrorists are often focusing 
        on remote regions and failing states as locations to seek 
        sanctuary.

    (b) Sense of Congress on United States Policy on Terrorist 
Sanctuaries.--It is the sense of Congress that it should be the policy 
of the United States--
            (1) to identify foreign countries that are being used as 
        terrorist sanctuaries;
            (2) to assess current United States resources and tools 
        being used to assist foreign governments to eliminate such 
        sanctuaries;
            (3) to develop and implement a coordinated strategy to 
        prevent terrorists from using such foreign countries as 
        sanctuaries; and
            (4) to work in bilateral and multilateral fora to elicit the 
        cooperation needed to identify and address terrorist sanctuaries 
        that may exist today, but, so far, remain unknown to 
        governments.

    (c) Amendments to Existing Law To Include Terrorist Sanctuaries.--
            (1) In general.--Section 6(j) of the Export Administration

SEC. 7103. UNITED STATES COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE OF PAKISTAN.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) The Government of Pakistan has a critical role to 
        perform in the struggle against terrorism.
            (2) Due to its location, topography, social conditions, and 
        other factors, Pakistan can be attractive to extremists seeking 
        refuge or opportunities to recruit or train, or a place from 
        which to operate against Coalition Forces in Afghanistan.
            (3) A stable Pakistan, with a moderate, responsible 
        government that serves as a voice of tolerance in the Muslim 
        world, is critical to stability in the region.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United 
States should--
            (1) help to ensure a promising, stable, and secure future 
        for Pakistan over the long term;
            (2) provide a comprehensive program of assistance to 
        encourage and enable Pakistan--
                    (A) to continue and improve upon its commitment to 
                combating extremists;
                    (B) to seek to resolve any outstanding difficulties 
                with its neighbors and other countries in its region;
                    (C) to continue to make efforts to fully control its 
                territory and borders;
                    (D) to progress toward becoming a more effective and 
                participatory democracy;
                    (E) to participate more vigorously in the global 
                marketplace and to continue to modernize its economy;
                    (F) to take all necessary steps to halt the spread 
                of weapons of mass destruction;
                    (G) to improve and expand access to education for 
                all citizens; and
                    (H) to increase the number and level of exchanges 
                between the Pakistani people and the American people; 
                and
            (3) continue to provide assistance to Pakistan at not less 
        than the overall levels requested by the President for fiscal 
        year 2005.

    (c) Extension of Pakistan Waivers.--The Act entitled ``An Act to 
authorize the President to exercise waivers of foreign assistance 
restrictions with respect to Pakistan through September 30, 2003, and 
for other purposes'', approved October 27, 2001 (Public Law 107-57; 115 
Stat. 403), as amended by section 2213 of the Emergency Supplemental 
Appropriations Act for Defense and for the Reconstruction of Iraq and 
Afghanistan, 2004 (Public Law 108-106; 117 Stat. 1232), is further 
amended--
            (1) in <<NOTE: 115 Stat. 403.>> section 1(b)--
                    (A) in the heading, by striking ``Fiscal Year 2004''

            AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Afghanistan 
Freedom Support Act Amendments of 2004''.
    (b) Coordination of Assistance.--
            (1) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
        Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress 
        makes the following findings:
                    (A) The United States and its allies in the 
                international community have made progress in promoting 
                economic and political reform within Afghanistan, 
                including the establishment of a central government with 
                a democratic constitution, a new currency, and a new 
                army, the increase of personal freedom, and the 
                elevation of the standard of living of many Afghans.
                    (B) A number of significant obstacles must be 
                overcome if Afghanistan is to become a secure and 
                prosperous democracy, and such a transition depends in 
                particular upon--
                          (i) improving security throughout the country;
                          (ii) disarming and demobilizing militias;
                          (iii) curtailing the rule of the warlords;
                          (iv) promoting equitable economic development;
                          (v) protecting the human rights of the people 
                      of Afghanistan;
                          (vi) continuing to hold elections for public 
                      officials; and
                          (vii) ending the cultivation, production, and 
                      trafficking of narcotics.
                    (C) The United States and the international 
                community must make a long-term commitment to addressing 
                the unstable security situation in Afghanistan and the 
                burgeoning narcotics trade, endemic poverty, and other 
                serious problems in Afghanistan in order to prevent that 
                country from relapsing into a sanctuary for 
                international terrorism.
            (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
        United States Government should take, with respect to 
        Afghanistan, the following actions:
                    (A) Work with other nations to obtain long-term 
                security, political, and financial commitments and 
                fulfillment of pledges to the Government of Afghanistan 
                to accomplish the objectives of the Afghanistan Freedom 
                Support Act of 2002 (22 U.S.C. 7501 et seq.), especially 
                to ensure a secure, democratic, and prosperous 
                Afghanistan that respects the rights of its citizens and 
                is free of international terrorist organizations.
                    (B) Use the voice and vote of the United States in 
                relevant international organizations, including the 
                North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United 
                Nations Security Council, to strengthen international 
                commitments to assist the Government of Afghanistan in 
                enhancing security, building national police and 
                military forces, increasing counter-narcotics efforts, 
                and expanding infrastructure and public services 
                throughout the country.
                    (C) Take appropriate steps to increase the 
                assistance provided under programs of the Department of 
                State and the United States Agency for International 
                Development throughout Afghanistan and to increase the 
                number of

[[Page 118 STAT. 3781]]

                personnel of those agencies in Afghanistan as necessary 
                to support the increased assistance.

    (c) Coordinator for Assistance.--
            (1) <<NOTE: 22 USC 7514 note.>> Findings.--Congress makes 
        the following findings:
                    (A) The Final Report of the National Commission on 
                Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States criticized the

        drug activities to assist in providing a secure environment for 
        counter-drug personnel in Afghanistan; and
            ``(3) the United States, in conjunction with the Government 
        of Afghanistan and coalition partners, should undertake 
        additional efforts to reduce illegal drug trafficking and 
        related activities that provide financial support for terrorist 
        organizations in Afghanistan and neighboring countries.

    ``(b) Report Required.--(1) The Secretary of Defense and the

    (k) Additional Amendments to Afghanistan Freedom Support Act of 
2002.--
            (1) Extension of reports on implementation of strategy.--

SEC. 7105. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND SAUDI 
                          ARABIA.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) Despite a long history of friendly relations with the 
        United States, there have been problems in cooperation between 
        the United States and Saudi Arabia.

[[Page 118 STAT. 3789]]

            (2) The Government of Saudi Arabia has not always responded 
        promptly or fully to United States requests for assistance in 
        the global war on Islamist terrorism.
            (3) The Government of Saudi Arabia has not done all it can 
        to prevent financial or other support from being provided to, or 
        reaching, extremist organizations in Saudi Arabia or other 
        countries.
            (4) Counterterrorism cooperation between the Governments of 
        the United States and Saudi Arabia has improved significantly 
        since the terrorist bombing attacks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 
        May 12, 2003, and the Government of Saudi Arabia is now pursuing 
        al Qaeda and other terror groups operating inside Saudi Arabia.
            (5) The United States must enhance its cooperation and 
        strong relationship with Saudi Arabia based upon a shared and 
        public commitment to political and economic reform, greater 
        tolerance and respect for religious and cultural diversity and 
        joint efforts to prevent funding for and support of extremist 
        organizations in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that there 
should be a more robust dialogue between the people and Government of 
the United States and the people and Government of Saudi Arabia in order 
to improve the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia.
SEC. 7106. EFFORTS TO COMBAT ISLAMIST TERRORISM.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) While support for the United States has plummeted in the 
        Islamic world, many negative views are uninformed, at best, and, 
        at worst, are informed by coarse stereotypes and caricatures.
            (2) Local newspapers in countries with predominantly Muslim 
        populations and influential broadcasters who reach Muslim 
        audiences through satellite television often reinforce the idea 
        that the people and Government of the United States are anti-
        Muslim.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Government of the United States should offer an 
        example of moral leadership in the world that includes a 
        commitment to treat all people humanely, abide by the rule of 
        law, and be generous to the people and governments of other 
        countries;
            (2) the United States should cooperate with governments of 
        countries with predominantly Muslim populations to foster 
        agreement on respect for human dignity and opportunity, and to 
        offer a vision of a better future that includes stressing life 
        over death, individual educational and economic opportunity, 
        widespread political participation, contempt for violence, 
        respect for the rule of law, openness in discussing differences, 
        and tolerance for opposing points of view;
            (3) the United States should encourage reform, freedom, 
        democracy, and opportunity for Muslims; and
            (4) the United States should work to defeat extremism in all 
        its form, especially in nations with predominantly Muslim 
        populations by providing assistance to governments, non-

[[Page 118 STAT. 3790]]

        governmental organizations, and individuals who promote 
        modernization.
SEC. 7107. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD DICTATORSHIPS.

    (a) Finding.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress finds that short-
term gains enjoyed by the United States through cooperation with 
repressive dictatorships have often been outweighed by long-term 
setbacks for the stature and interests of the United States.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) United States foreign policy should promote the 
        importance of individual educational and economic opportunity, 
        encourage widespread political participation, condemn violence, 
        and promote respect for the rule of law, openness in discussing 
        differences among people, and tolerance for opposing points of 
        view; and
            (2) the United States Government must encourage the 
        governments of all countries with predominantly Muslim 
        populations, including those that are friends and allies of the 
        United States, to promote the value of life and the importance 
        of individual education and economic opportunity, encourage 
        widespread political participation, condemn violence and promote 
        the rule of law, openness in discussing differences among 
        people, and tolerance for opposing points of view.
SEC. 7108. PROMOTION <<NOTE: 22 USC 1431 note.>> OF FREE MEDIA AND 
                          OTHER AMERICAN VALUES.

    (a) Promotion of United States Values Through Broadcast Media.--
            (1) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
        Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress 
        makes the following findings:
                    (A) Although the United States has demonstrated and 
                promoted its values in defending Muslims against tyrants 
                and criminals in Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, 
                and Iraq, this message is neither convincingly presented 
                nor widely understood.
                    (B) If the United States does not act to vigorously 
                define its message in countries with predominantly 
                Muslim populations, the image of the United States will 
                be defined by Islamic extremists who seek to demonize 
                the United States.
                    (C) Recognizing that many Muslim audiences rely on 
                satellite television and radio, the United States 
                Government has launched promising initiatives in 
                television and radio broadcasting to the Islamic world, 
                including Iran and Afghanistan.
            (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                    (A) the United States must do more to defend and 
                promote its values and ideals to the broadest possible 
                audience in countries with predominantly Muslim 
                populations;
                    (B) United States efforts to defend and promote 
                these values and ideals are beginning to ensure that 
                accurate expressions of these values reach large Muslim 
                audiences and should be robustly supported;

[[Page 118 STAT. 3791]]

                    (C) the United States Government could and should do 
                more to engage Muslim audiences in the struggle of 
                ideas; and
                    (D) the United States Government should more 
                intensively employ existing broadcast media in the 
                Islamic world as part of this engagement.

    (b) Enhancing Free and Independent Media.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                    (A) Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are 
                fundamental human rights.
                    (B) The United States has a national interest in 
                promoting these freedoms by supporting free media 
                abroad, which is essential to the development of free 
                and democratic societies consistent with our own.
                    (C) Free media is undermined, endangered, or 
                nonexistent in many repressive and transitional 
                societies around the world, including in Eurasia, 
                Africa, and the Middle East.
                    (D) Individuals lacking access to a plurality of 
                free media are vulnerable to misinformation and 
                propaganda and are potentially more likely to adopt 
                anti-United States views.
                    (E) Foreign governments have a responsibility to 
                actively and publicly discourage and rebut 
                unprofessional and unethical media while respecting 
                journalistic integrity and editorial independence.
            (2) Statement of policy.--It shall be the policy of the 
        United States, acting through the Secretary of State, to--
                    (A) ensure that the promotion of freedom of the 
                press and freedom of media worldwide is a priority of 
                United States foreign policy and an integral component 
                of United States public diplomacy;
                    (B) respect the journalistic integrity and editorial 
                independence of free media worldwide; and
                    (C) ensure that widely accepted standards for 
                professional and ethical journalistic and editorial 
                practices are employed when assessing international 
                media.

    (c) Establishment of Media Network.--
            (1) Grants for establishment of network.--The Secretary of 
        State shall, utilizing amounts authorized to be appropriated by 
        subsection (e)(2), make grants to the National Endowment for 
        Democracy (NED) under the National Endowment for Democracy Act 
        (22 U.S.C. 4411 et seq.) for utilization by the Endowment to 
        provide funding to a private sector group to establish and 
        manage a free and independent media network as specified in 
        paragraph (2).
            (2) Media network.--The media network established using 
        funds under paragraph (1) shall provide an effective forum to 
        convene a broad range of individuals, organizations, and 
        governmental participants involved in journalistic activities 
        and the development of free and independent media in order to--
                    (A) fund a clearinghouse to collect and share 
                information concerning international media development 
                and training;
                    (B) improve research in the field of media 
                assistance and program evaluation to better inform 
                decisions

[[Page 118 STAT. 3792]]

                regarding funding and program design for government and 
                private donors;
                    (C) explore the most appropriate use of existing

                          ISLAMIC WORLD.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) Exchange, scholarship, and library programs are 
        effective ways for the United States Government to promote 
        internationally the values and ideals of the United States.
            (2) Exchange, scholarship, and library programs can expose 
        young people from other countries to United States values and 
        offer them knowledge and hope.

    (b) Declaration of Policy.--Consistent with the report of the 
National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
Congress declares that--
            (1) the United States should commit to a long-term and 
        sustainable investment in promoting engagement with people of 
        all levels of society in countries with predominantly Muslim 
        populations, particularly with youth and those who influence 
        youth;
            (2) such an investment should make use of the talents and 
        resources in the private sector and should include programs to 
        increase the number of people who can be exposed to the United 
        States and its fundamental ideas and values in order to dispel 
        misconceptions; and
            (3) such programs should include youth exchange programs, 
        young ambassadors programs, international visitor programs, 
        academic and cultural exchange programs, American Corner 
        programs, library programs, journalist exchange programs, sister 
        city programs, and other programs related to people-to-people 
        diplomacy.

States should significantly increase its investment in the people-to-
people programs described in subsection (b).

scholarship, and library programs of the United States, especially such

and cultural exchange programs, there shall be available to the

                          GRANTS TO AMERICAN-SPONSORED SCHOOLS IN 
                          PREDOMINANTLY MUSLIM COUNTRIES TO 
                          PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) During the 2003-2004 school year, the Office of Overseas 
        Schools of the Department of State is financially assisting 189 
        elementary and secondary schools in foreign countries.
            (2) United States-sponsored elementary and secondary schools 
        are located in more than 20 countries with predominantly Muslim 
        populations in the Near East, Africa, South Asia, Central Asia, 
        and East Asia.
            (3) United States-sponsored elementary and secondary schools 
        provide an American-style education in English, with curricula 
        that typically include an emphasis on the development of 
        critical thinking and analytical skills.

    (b) Statement of Policy.--The United States has an interest in 
increasing the level of financial support provided to United States-
sponsored elementary and secondary schools in countries with 
predominantly Muslim populations in order to--
            (1) increase the number of students in such countries who 
        attend such schools;
            (2) increase the number of young people who may thereby gain 
        at any early age an appreciation for the culture, society, and 
        history of the United States; and
            (3) increase the number of young people who may thereby 
        improve their proficiency in the English language.

    (c) Pilot Program.--The Secretary of State, acting through the 
Director of the Office of Overseas Schools of the Department of State, 
may conduct a pilot program to make grants to United States-sponsored 
elementary and secondary schools in countries with predominantly Muslim 
populations for the purpose of providing full or partial merit-based 
scholarships to students from lower-income and middle-income families of 
such countries to attend such schools.
    (d) Determination of Eligible Students.--For purposes of the pilot 
program, a United States-sponsored elementary and secondary school that 
receives a grant under the pilot program may establish criteria to be 
implemented by such school to determine what constitutes lower-income 
and middle-income families in the country (or region of the country, if 
regional variations in income levels in the country are significant) in 
which such school is located.
    (e) Restriction on Use of Funds.--Amounts appropriated to the 
Secretary of State pursuant to the authorization of appropriations in 
subsection (h) shall be used for the sole purpose of making grants under 
this section, and may not be used for the administration of the Office 
of Overseas Schools of the Department of State or for any other activity 
of the Office.
    (f) Voluntary Participation.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to require participation in the pilot program by a United 
States-sponsored elementary or secondary school in a predominantly 
Muslim country.

shall submit to the Committee on International Relations of the House of 
Representatives and the Committee on Foreign

[[Page 118 STAT. 3798]]

Relations of the Senate a report on the pilot program. The report shall 
assess the success of the program, examine any obstacles encountered in 
its implementation, and address whether it should be continued, and if 
so, provide recommendations to increase its effectiveness.
    (h) Funding.--There are authorized to be appropriated to the 
Secretary of State for each of the fiscal years 2005 and 2006, unless 
otherwise authorized by Congress, such sums as necessary to implement 
the pilot program under this section.
SEC. 7114. INTERNATIONAL <<NOTE: 22 USC 2228.>> YOUTH OPPORTUNITY 
                          FUND.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) Education that teaches tolerance, the dignity and value 
        of each individual, and respect for different beliefs is a key 
        element in any global strategy to eliminate terrorism.
            (2) Education in the Middle East about the world outside 
        that region is weak.
            (3) The United Nations has rightly equated literacy with 
        freedom.
            (4) The international community is moving toward setting a 
        concrete goal of reducing by half the illiteracy rate in the 
        Middle East by 2010, through the implementation of education 
        programs targeting women and girls and programs for adult 
        literacy, and by other means.
            (5) To be effective, efforts to improve education in the 
        Middle East must also include--
                    (A) support for the provision of basic education 
                tools, such as textbooks that translate more of the 
                world's knowledge into local languages and local 
                libraries to house such materials; and
                    (B) more vocational education in trades and business 
                skills.
            (6) The Middle East can benefit from some of the same 
        programs to bridge the digital divide that already have been 
        developed for other regions of the world.

    (b) International Youth Opportunity Fund.--
            (1) Establishment.--The Secretary of State is authorized to 
        establish through an existing international organization, such 
        as the United Nations Educational, Science and Cultural 
        Organization (UNESCO) or other similar body, an International 
        Youth Opportunity Fund to provide financial assistance for the 
        improvement of public education in the Middle East and other 
        countries of strategic interest with predominantly Muslim 
        populations.
            (2) International participation.--The Secretary should seek 
        the cooperation of the international community in establishing

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) While terrorism is not caused by poverty, breeding 
        grounds for terrorism are created by backward economic policies 
        and repressive political regimes.

[[Page 118 STAT. 3799]]

            (2) Policies that support economic development and reform 
        also have political implications, as economic and political 
        liberties are often linked.
            (3) The United States is working toward creating a Middle 
        East Free Trade Area by 2013 and implementing a free trade 
        agreement with Bahrain, and free trade agreements exist between 
        the United States and Israel and the United States and Jordan.
            (4) Existing and proposed free trade agreements between the 
        United States and countries with predominantly Muslim 
        populations are drawing interest from other countries in the 
        Middle East region, and countries with predominantly Muslim 
        populations can become full participants in the rules-based 
        global trading system, as the United States considers lowering 
        its barriers to trade.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) a comprehensive United States strategy to counter 
        terrorism should include economic policies that encourage 
        development, open societies, and opportunities for people to 
        improve the lives of their families and to enhance prospects for 
        their children's future;
            (2) one element of such a strategy should encompass the 
        lowering of trade barriers with the poorest countries that have 
        a significant population of Muslim individuals;
            (3) another element of such a strategy should encompass 
        United States efforts to promote economic reform in countries 
        that have a significant population of Muslim individuals, 
        including efforts to integrate such countries into the global 
        trading system; and
            (4) given the importance of the rule of law in promoting 
        economic development and attracting investment, the United 
        States should devote an increased proportion of its assistance 
        to countries in the Middle East to the promotion of the rule of 
        law.

SEC. 7116. MIDDLE EAST PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE.

    (a) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be 
appropriated for each of fiscal years 2005 and 2006, (unless otherwise 
authorized by Congress) such sums as may be necessary for the Middle 
East Partnership Initiative.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, given the 
importance of the rule of law and economic reform to development in the 
Middle East, a significant portion of the funds authorized to be 
appropriated under subsection (a) should be made available to promote 
the rule of law in the Middle East.
SEC. 7117. COMPREHENSIVE <<NOTE: 22 USC 2656 note.>> COALITION 
                          STRATEGY FOR FIGHTING TERRORISM.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) Almost every aspect of the counterterrorism strategy of 
        the United States relies on international cooperation.
            (2) Since September 11, 2001, the number and scope of United 
        States Government contacts with foreign governments concerning 
        counterterrorism have expanded significantly, but such contacts 
        have often been ad hoc and not integrated as a comprehensive and 
        unified approach to counterterrorism.

[[Page 118 STAT. 3800]]

    (b) In General.--The Secretary of State is authorized in 
consultation with relevant United States Government agencies, to 
negotiate on a bilateral or multilateral basis, as appropriate, 
international agreements under which parties to an agreement work in 
partnership to address and interdict acts of international terrorism.
    (c) International Contact Group on Counterterrorism.--
            (1) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
        President--
                    (A) should seek to engage the leaders of the 
                governments of other countries in a process of advancing 
                beyond separate and uncoordinated national 
                counterterrorism strategies to develop with those other 
                governments a comprehensive multilateral strategy to 
                fight terrorism; and
                    (B) to that end, should seek to establish an 
                international counterterrorism policy contact group with 
                the leaders of governments providing leadership in 
                global counterterrorism efforts and governments of 
                countries with sizable Muslim populations, to be used as 
                a ready and flexible international means for discussing 
                and coordinating the development of important 
                counterterrorism policies by the participating 
                governments.
            (2) <<NOTE: President. Establishment.>> Authority.--The 
        President is authorized to establish an international 
        counterterrorism policy contact group with the leaders of 
        governments referred to in paragraph (1) for the following 
        purposes:
                    (A) To meet annually, or more frequently as the 
                President determines appropriate, to develop in common 
                with such other governments important policies and a 
                strategy that address the various components of 
                international prosecution of the war on terrorism, 
                including policies and a strategy that address military 
                issues, law enforcement, the collection, analysis, and 
                dissemination of intelligence, issues relating to 
                interdiction of travel by terrorists, counterterrorism-
                related customs issues, financial issues, and issues 
                relating to terrorist sanctuaries.
                    (B) To address, to the extent (if any) that the 
                President and leaders of other participating governments 
                determine appropriate, long-term issues that can 
                contribute to strengthening stability and security in 
                the Middle East.

SEC. 7118. FINANCING OF TERRORISM.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) The death or capture of several important financial 
        facilitators has decreased the amount of money available to al 
        Qaeda, and has made it more difficult for al Qaeda to raise and 
        move money.
            (2) The capture of al Qaeda financial facilitators has 
        provided a windfall of intelligence that can be used to continue 
        the cycle of disruption.
            (3) The United States Government has rightly recognized that 
        information about terrorist money helps in understanding terror 
        networks, searching them out, and disrupting their operations.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--

[[Page 118 STAT. 3801]]

            (1) a critical weapon in the effort to stop terrorist 
        financing should be the targeting of terrorist financial 
        facilitators by intelligence and law enforcement agencies; and
            (2) efforts to track terrorist financing must be paramount 
        in United States counterterrorism efforts.
SEC. 7119. DESIGNATION OF FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.

    (a) Period of Designation.--Section 219(a)(4) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189(a)(4)) is amended--
            (1) in subparagraph (A)--

                (2)(B)'' and inserting ``until revoked under paragraph 
                (5) or (6) or set aside pursuant to subsection (c)'';
            (2) by striking subparagraph (B) and inserting the 
        following:
                    ``(B) Review of designation upon petition.--
                          ``(i) In general.--The Secretary shall review

                      sufficiently different from the circumstances that 
                      were the basis for the designation such that a 
                      revocation with respect to the organization is 
                      warranted.

          Subtitle B--Terrorist Travel and Effective Screening

SEC. 7201. COUNTERTERRORIST TRAVEL INTELLIGENCE.

    (a) <<NOTE: 8 USC 1776 note.>> Findings.--Consistent with the report 
of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 
Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Travel documents are as important to terrorists as 
        weapons since terrorists must travel clandestinely to meet, 
        train, plan, case targets, and gain access to attack sites.
            (2) International travel is dangerous for terrorists because 
        they must surface to pass through regulated channels, present 
        themselves to border security officials, or attempt to 
        circumvent inspection points.
            (3) Terrorists use evasive, but detectable, methods to 
        travel, such as altered and counterfeit passports and visas, 
        specific travel methods and routes, liaisons with corrupt 
        government officials, human smuggling networks, supportive 
        travel agencies, and immigration and identity fraud.
            (4) Before September 11, 2001, no Federal agency 
        systematically analyzed terrorist travel strategies. If an 
        agency had done so, the agency could have discovered the ways in 
        which the terrorist predecessors to al Qaeda had been

[[Page 118 STAT. 3809]]

        systematically, but detectably, exploiting weaknesses in our 
        border security since the early 1990s.
            (5) Many of the hijackers were potentially vulnerable to 
        interception by border authorities. Analyzing their 
        characteristic travel documents and travel patterns could have 
        allowed authorities to intercept some of the hijackers and a 
        more effective use of information available in government 
        databases could have identified some of the hijackers.
            (6) The routine operations of our immigration laws and the 
        aspects of those laws not specifically aimed at protecting 
        against terrorism inevitably shaped al Qaeda's planning and 
        opportunities.
            (7) New insights into terrorist travel gained since 
        September 11, 2001, have not been adequately integrated into the 
        front lines of border security.
            (8) The small classified terrorist travel intelligence 
        collection and analysis program currently in place has produced 
        useful results and should be expanded.

    (b) <<NOTE: 50 USC 404o note. Deadline. Reports.>> Strategy.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Director of the National 
        Counterterrorism Center shall submit to Congress unclassified 
        and classified versions of a strategy for combining terrorist 
        travel intelligence, operations, and law enforcement into a 
        cohesive effort to intercept terrorists, find terrorist travel 
        facilitators, and constrain terrorist mobility domestically and 
        internationally. The report to Congress should include a 
        description of the actions taken to implement the strategy and 
        an assessment regarding vulnerabilities within the United States 
        and foreign travel systems that may be exploited by 
        international terrorists, human smugglers and traffickers, and 
        their facilitators.
            (2) Coordination.--The strategy shall be developed in 
        coordination with all relevant Federal agencies.
            (3) Contents.--The strategy may address--
                    (A) a program for collecting, analyzing, 
                disseminating, and utilizing information and 
                intelligence regarding terrorist travel tactics and 
                methods, and outline which Federal intelligence, 
                diplomatic, and law enforcement agencies will be held 
                accountable for implementing each element of the 
                strategy;
                    (B) the intelligence and law enforcement collection, 
                analysis, operations, and reporting required to identify 
                and disrupt terrorist travel tactics, practices, 
                patterns, and trends, and the terrorist travel 
                facilitators, document forgers, human smugglers, travel 
                agencies, and corrupt border and transportation

                          THROUGH THE USE OF FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINED 
                          DOCUMENTS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) International terrorists travel across international 
        borders to raise funds, recruit members, train for operations, 
        escape capture, communicate, and plan and carry out attacks.
            (2) The international terrorists who planned and carried out 
        the attack on the World Trade Center on February 26,

[[Page 118 STAT. 3815]]

        1993, the attack on the embassies of the United States in Kenya 
        and Tanzania on August 7, 1998, the attack on the USS Cole on 
        October 12, 2000, and the attack on the World Trade Center and 
        the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, traveled across 
        international borders to plan and carry out these attacks.
            (3) The international terrorists who planned other attacks 
        on the United States, including the plot to bomb New York City 
        landmarks in 1993, the plot to bomb the New York City subway in 
        1997, and the millennium plot to bomb Los Angeles International 
        Airport on December 31, 1999, traveled across international 
        borders to plan and carry out these attacks.
            (4) Many of the international terrorists who planned and 
        carried out large-scale attacks against foreign targets, 
        including the attack in Bali, Indonesia, on October 11, 2002, 
        and the attack in Madrid, Spain, on March 11, 2004, traveled 
        across international borders to plan and carry out these 
        attacks.
            (5) Throughout the 1990s, international terrorists, 
        including those involved in the attack on the World Trade Center 
        on February 26, 1993, the plot to bomb New York City landmarks 
        in 1993, and the millennium plot to bomb Los Angeles 
        International Airport on December 31, 1999, traveled on 
        fraudulent passports and often had more than 1 passport.
            (6) Two of the September 11, 2001, hijackers were carrying 
        passports that had been manipulated in a fraudulent manner.
            (7) The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the 
        United States, (commonly referred to as the 9/11 Commission), 
        stated that ``Targeting travel is at least as powerful a weapon 
        against terrorists as targeting their money.''.

    (b) International Agreements To Track and Curtail Terrorist 
Travel.--
            (1) International agreement on lost, stolen, or falsified 
        documents.--The President should lead efforts to track and 
        curtail the travel of terrorists by supporting the drafting, 
        adoption, and implementation of international agreements, and 
        relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions to track 
        and stop international travel by terrorists and other criminals 
        through the use of lost, stolen, or falsified documents to 
        augment United Nations and other international anti-terrorism 
        efforts.
            (2) Contents of international agreement.--The President 
        should seek, as appropriate, the adoption or full implementation 
        of effective international measures to--
                    (A) share information on lost, stolen, and 
                fraudulent passports and other travel documents for the 
                purposes of preventing the undetected travel of persons 
                using such passports and other travel documents that 
                were obtained improperly;
                    (B) establish and implement a real-time verification 
                system of passports and other travel documents with 
                issuing authorities;
                    (C) share with officials at ports of entry in any 
                such country information relating to lost, stolen, and 
                fraudulent passports and other travel documents;
                    (D) encourage countries--
                          (i) to criminalize--

                                    (II) the use or attempted use of 
                                false documents to obtain a visa or 
                                cross a border for any purpose;
                                    (III) the possession of tools or 
                                implements used to falsify or 
                                counterfeit such documents;
                                    (IV) the trafficking in false or 
                                stolen travel documents and breeder 
                                documents for any purpose;

                                    (VI) attempts to commit, including 
                                conspiracies to commit, the crimes 
                                specified in subclauses (I) through (V);
                          (ii) to impose significant penalties to 
                      appropriately punish violations and effectively 
                      deter the crimes specified in clause (i); and
                          (iii) to limit the issuance of citizenship 
                      papers, passports, identification documents, and 
                      similar documents to persons--
                                    (I) whose identity is proven to the 
                                issuing authority;
                                    (II) who have a bona fide 
                                entitlement to or need for such 
                                documents; and

                                documents principally on account of a 
                                disproportional payment made by them or 
                                on their behalf to the issuing

                      passport at ports of entry;
                          (ii) to permit the traveler to return to the 
                      sending country without being in possession of the 
                      lost, stolen, or falsified passport; and
                          (iii) to detain and investigate such traveler

    (c) <<NOTE: President.>> Report.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, and at least annually thereafter, the

SEC. 7205. INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR TRANSLITERATION OF NAMES 
                          INTO THE ROMAN ALPHABET FOR 
                          INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND NAME-
                          BASED WATCHLIST SYSTEMS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The current lack of a single convention for translating 
        Arabic names enabled some of the 19 hijackers of aircraft used 
        in the terrorist attacks against the United States that occurred 
        on September 11, 2001, to vary the spelling of their names to 
        defeat name-based terrorist watchlist systems and to make more 
        difficult any potential efforts to locate them.
            (2) Although the development and utilization of terrorist 
        watchlist systems using biometric identifiers will be helpful, 
        the full development and utilization of such systems will take 
        several years, and name-based terrorist watchlist systems will 
        always be useful.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
President should seek to enter into an international agreement to 
modernize and improve standards for the transliteration of names into 
the Roman alphabet in order to ensure 1 common spelling for such names 
for international travel documents and name-based watchlist systems.

SEC. 7206. IMMIGRATION SECURITY INITIATIVE.

    (a) In General.--Section 235A(b) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (8 U.S.C. 1225a(b)) is amended--
            (1) in the subsection heading, by inserting ``and 
        Immigration Security Initiative'' after ``Program'';
            (2) by striking ``Attorney General'' and inserting 
        ``Secretary of Homeland Security''; and
            (3) by adding at the end the 
        following: <<NOTE: Deadline.>> ``Beginning not later than 
        December 31, 2006, the number of airports selected for an 
        assignment under this subsection shall be at least 50.''.

    (b) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be 
appropriated to the Secretary of Homeland Security to carry out the 
amendments made by subsection (a)--
            (1) $25,000,000 for fiscal year 2005;
            (2) $40,000,000 for fiscal year 2006; and
            (3) $40,000,000 for fiscal year 2007.
SEC. 7207. CERTIFICATION <<NOTE: Deadline.>> REGARDING TECHNOLOGY 
                          FOR VISA WAIVER PARTICIPANTS.

    Not later than October 26, 2006, the Secretary of State shall 
certify to Congress which of the countries designated to participate in 
the visa waiver program established under section 217 of the Immigration 
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1187) are developing a program to issue to 
individuals seeking to enter that country pursuant to a visa issued by 
that country, a machine readable visa document that is tamper-resistant 
and incorporates biometric identification information that is verifiable 
at its port of entry.

            (1) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National 
        Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress 
        makes the following findings:
                    (A) Expediting the travel of previously screened and 
                known travelers across the borders of the United States 
                should be a high priority.
                    (B) The process of expediting known travelers across 
                the borders of the United States can permit inspectors 
                to better focus on identifying terrorists attempting to 
                enter the United States.
            (2) Definition.--In this subsection, the term ``registered 
        traveler program'' means any program designed to expedite the 
        travel of previously screened and known travelers across the 
        borders of the United States.
            (3) Registered travel program.--
                    (A) In general.--As soon as is practicable, the 
                Secretary shall develop and implement a registered 
                traveler program to expedite the processing of 
                registered travelers who enter and exit the United 
                States.
                    (B) Participation.--The registered traveler program 
                shall include as many participants as practicable by--
                          (i) minimizing the cost of enrollment;
                          (ii) making program enrollment convenient and

                      consistent eligibility guidelines.
                    (C) Integration.--The registered traveler program 
                shall be integrated into the automated biometric entry 
                and exit data system described in this section.
                    (D) Review and evaluation.--In developing the 
                registered traveler program, the Secretary shall--
                          (i) review existing programs or pilot projects 
                      designed to expedite the travel of registered 
                      travelers across the borders of the United States;
                          (ii) evaluate the effectiveness of the 
                      programs described in clause (i), the costs 
                      associated with such programs, and the costs to 
                      travelers to join such programs;

[[Page 118 STAT. 3823]]

                          (iii) increase research and development 
                      efforts to accelerate the development and 
                      implementation of a single registered traveler 
                      program; and
                          (iv) review the feasibility of allowing 
                      participants to enroll in the registered traveler

SEC. 7209. <<NOTE: 8 USC 1185 note.>> TRAVEL DOCUMENTS.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) Existing procedures allow many individuals to enter the 
        United States by showing minimal identification or without 
        showing any identification.
            (2) The planning for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 
        2001, demonstrates that terrorists study and exploit United 
        States vulnerabilities.
            (3) Additional safeguards are needed to ensure that 
        terrorists cannot enter the United States.

    (b) Passports.--
            (1) Development of plan.--The Secretary of Homeland 
        Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, shall 
        develop and implement a plan as expeditiously as possible to 
        require a passport or other document, or combination of 
        documents, deemed by the Secretary of Homeland Security to be 
        sufficient to denote identity and citizenship, for all travel 
        into the United States by United States citizens and by 
        categories of individuals for whom documentation requirements 
        have previously been waived under section 212(d)(4)(B) of the 
        Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
        1182(d)(4)(B)). <<NOTE: Deadline.>> This plan shall be 
        implemented not later than January 1, 2008, and shall seek to 
        expedite the travel of frequent travelers, including those who 
        reside in border communities, and in doing so, shall make 
        readily available a registered traveler program (as described in 
        section 7208(k)).
            (2) Requirement to produce documentation.--The plan 
        developed under paragraph (1) shall require all United States 
        citizens, and categories of individuals for whom documentation 
        requirements have previously been waived under section 
        212(d)(4)(B) of such Act, to carry and produce the documentation 
        described in paragraph (1) when traveling from foreign countries 
        into the United States.

    (c) Technical and Conforming Amendments.--After the complete 
implementation of the plan described in subsection (b)--
            (1) neither the Secretary of State nor the Secretary of 
        Homeland Security may exercise discretion under section 
        212(d)(4)(B) of such Act to waive documentary requirements for 
        travel into the United States; and

[[Page 118 STAT. 3824]]

            (2) the President may not exercise discretion under section 
        215(b) of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1185(b)) to waive documentary 
        requirements for United States citizens departing from or 
        entering, or attempting to depart from or enter, the United 
        States except--
                    (A) where the Secretary of Homeland Security 
                determines that the alternative documentation that is 
                the basis for the waiver of the documentary requirement 
                is sufficient to denote identity and citizenship;
                    (B) in the case of an unforeseen emergency in 
                individual cases; or
                    (C) in the case of humanitarian or national interest 
                reasons in individual cases.

    (d) Transit Without Visa Program.--The Secretary of State shall not 
use any authorities granted under section 212(d)(4)(C) of such Act until 
the Secretary, in conjunction with the Secretary of Homeland Security, 
completely implements a security plan to fully ensure secure transit 
passage areas to prevent aliens proceeding in immediate and continuous 
transit through the United States from illegally entering the United 
States.
SEC. 7210. EXCHANGE OF TERRORIST INFORMATION AND INCREASED 
                          PREINSPECTION AT FOREIGN AIRPORTS.

    (a) <<NOTE: 8 USC 1225a note.>> Findings.--Consistent with the 
report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States, Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The exchange of terrorist information with other 
        countries, consistent with privacy requirements, along with 
        listings of lost and stolen passports, will have immediate 
        security benefits.
            (2) The further away from the borders of the United States 
        that screening occurs, the more security benefits the United 
        States will gain.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Federal Government should exchange terrorist 
        information with trusted allies;
            (2) the Federal Government should move toward real-time 
        verification of passports with issuing authorities;
            (3) where practicable, the Federal Government should conduct 
        screening before a passenger departs on a flight destined for 
        the United States;
            (4) the Federal Government should work with other countries 
        to ensure effective inspection regimes at all airports;
            (5) the Federal Government should work with other countries 
        to improve passport standards and provide foreign assistance to 
        countries that need help making the transition to the global 
        standard for identification; and
            (6) the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination 
        with the Department of State and other Federal agencies, should 
        implement the initiatives called for in this subsection.

    (c) Report Regarding the Exchange of Terrorist Information.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State and the Secretary 
        of Homeland Security, working with other Federal agencies, shall 
        submit to the appropriate committees of Congress

[[Page 118 STAT. 3825]]

        a report on Federal efforts to collaborate with allies of the 
        United States in the exchange of terrorist information.
            (2) Contents.--The report shall outline--
                    (A) strategies for increasing such collaboration and 
                cooperation;
                    (B) progress made in screening passengers before 
                their departure to the United States; and
                    (C) efforts to work with other countries to 
                accomplish the goals described under this section.

    (d) Preinspection at Foreign Airports.--
            (1) In general.--Section 235A(a)(4) of the Immigration and 
        Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1225a(a)(4)) is amended to read as 
        follows:
            ``(4) <<NOTE: Deadline. Establishment.>> Subject to 
        paragraph (5), not later than January 1, 2008, the Secretary of 
        Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, 
        shall establish preinspection stations in at least 25 additional 
        foreign airports, which the Secretary of Homeland Security, in 
        consultation with the Secretary of State, determines, based on 
        the data compiled under paragraph (3) and such other information 
        as may be available, would most effectively facilitate the 
        travel of admissible aliens and reduce the number of 
        inadmissible aliens, especially aliens who are potential 
        terrorists, who arrive from abroad by air at points of entry 
        within the United States. Such preinspection stations shall be 
        in addition to those established before September 30, 1996, or 
        pursuant to paragraph (1).''.
            (2) Report.--Not later than June 30, 2006, the Secretary of 
        Homeland Security and the Secretary of State shall submit a 
        report on the progress being made in implementing the amendment

                    Subtitle C--National Preparedness

SEC. 7301. THE INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) The attacks on September 11, 2001, demonstrated that 
        even the most robust emergency response capabilities can be 
        overwhelmed if an attack is large enough.
            (2) Teamwork, collaboration, and cooperation at an incident 
        site are critical to a successful response to a terrorist 
        attack.
            (3) Key decisionmakers who are represented at the incident 
        command level help to ensure an effective response, the 
        efficient use of resources, and responder safety.
            (4) The incident command system also enables emergency 
        managers and first responders to manage, generate, receive, 
        evaluate, share, and use information.
            (5) Regular joint training at all levels is essential to 
        ensuring close coordination during an actual incident.
            (6) In Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5, the 
        President directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop 
        an incident command system, to be known as the National Incident 
        Management System (NIMS), and directed all Federal agencies to 
        make the adoption of NIMS a condition for the receipt of Federal 
        emergency preparedness assistance by States, territories, 
        tribes, and local governments beginning in fiscal year 2005.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States needs to implement the recommendations 
        of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
        States by adopting a unified incident command system and 
        significantly enhancing communications connectivity between and 
        among all levels of government agencies, emergency response 
        providers (as defined in section 2 of the Homeland Security Act 
        of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 101), and other organizations with emergency 
        response capabilities;
            (2) the unified incident command system should enable 
        emergency managers and first responders to manage, generate, 
        receive, evaluate, share, and use information in the event of a 
        terrorist attack or a significant national disaster;
            (3) emergency response agencies nationwide should adopt the 
        Incident Command System known as NIMS;
            (4) when multiple agencies or multiple jurisdictions are 
        involved, they should follow a unified command system based on 
        NIMS;
            (5) the regular use of, and training in, NIMS by States and, 
        to the extent practicable, territories, tribes, and local 
        governments, should be a condition for receiving Federal 
        preparedness assistance; and
            (6) the Secretary of Homeland Security should require, as a 
        further condition of receiving homeland security preparedness 
        funds from the Office of State and Local Government Coordination 
        and Preparedness, that grant applicants document

[[Page 118 STAT. 3840]]

        measures taken to fully and aggressively implement the Incident 
        Command System and unified command procedures.

        agencies to communicate with each other as necessary, through a 
        dedicated public safety network utilizing information technology 
        systems and radio communications systems, and to exchange voice, 
        data, or video with one another on demand, in real time, as 
        necessary.
            (2) Emergency response providers.--The term ``emergency 
        response providers'' has the meaning that term has under section 
        2 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 101).

    (h) Clarification of Responsibility for Interoperable 
Communications.--

[[Page 118 STAT. 3847]]

            (1) Under secretary for emergency preparedness and 
        response.--Section 502(7) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 
        (6 U.S.C. 312(7)) is amended--
                    (A) by striking ``developing comprehensive programs 
                for developing interoperative communications technology, 
                and''; and
                    (B) by striking ``such'' and inserting 
                ``interoperable communications''.
            (2) Office for domestic preparedness.--Section 430(c) of 
        such Act (6 U.S.C. 238(c)) is amended--
                    (A) in paragraph (7) by striking ``and'' after the 
                semicolon;
                    (B) in paragraph (8) by striking the period and 
                inserting ``; and''; and

            ``(9) helping to ensure the acquisition of interoperable 
        communication technology by State and local governments and 
        emergency response providers.''.

    (i) Sense of Congress Regarding Interoperable Communications.--
            (1) Finding.--The Congress finds that--
                    (A) many first responders working in the same 
                jurisdiction or in different jurisdictions cannot 
                effectively and efficiently communicate with one 
                another; and
                    (B) their inability to do so threatens the public's 
                safety and may result in unnecessary loss of lives and 
                property.
            (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
        interoperable emergency communications systems and radios should 
        continue to be deployed as soon as practicable for use by the 
        first responder community, and that upgraded and new digital 
        communications systems and new digital radios must meet 
        prevailing national, voluntary consensus standards for 
        interoperability.

                          PILOT PROJECTS.

    (a) <<NOTE: Deadline.>> Pilot Projects.--Consistent with sections 
302 and 430 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 182, 238), 
not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish not fewer than 2 pilot 
projects in high threat urban areas or regions that are likely to 
implement a national model strategic plan.

    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of the pilot projects required by this 
section shall be to develop a regional strategic plan to foster 
interagency communication in the area in which it is established and 
coordinate the gathering of all Federal, State, and local first 
responders in that area, consistent with the national strategic plan 
developed by the Department of Homeland Security.
    (c) Selection Criteria.--In selecting urban areas for the location 
of pilot projects under this section, the Secretary shall consider--
            (1) the level of risk to the area, as determined by the 
        Department of Homeland Security;
            (2) the number of Federal, State, and local law enforcement 
        agencies located in the area;
            (3) the number of potential victims from a large scale 
        terrorist attack in the area; and

[[Page 118 STAT. 3848]]

            (4) such other criteria reflecting a community's risk and 
        vulnerability as the Secretary determines is appropriate.

    (d) Interagency Assistance.--The Secretary of Homeland Security

SEC. 7305. PRIVATE SECTOR PREPAREDNESS.

    (a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the National Commission 
on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the 
following findings:
            (1) Private sector organizations own 85 percent of the 
        Nation's critical infrastructure and employ the vast majority of 
        the Nation's workers.
            (2) Preparedness in the private sector and public sector for 
        rescue, restart and recovery of operations should include, as 
        appropriate--
                    (A) a plan for evacuation;
                    (B) adequate communications capabilities; and
                    (C) a plan for continuity of operations.
            (3) The American National Standards Institute recommends a 
        voluntary national preparedness standard for the private sector 
        based on the existing American National Standard on Disaster/
        Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs (NFPA 
        1600), with appropriate modifications. This standard establishes 
        a common set of criteria and terminology for preparedness, 
        disaster management, emergency management, and business 
        continuity programs.
            (4) The mandate of the Department of Homeland Security 
        extends to working with the private sector, as well as 
        government entities.

    (b) Sense of Congress on Private Sector Preparedness.--It is the 
sense of Congress that the Secretary of Homeland Security should 
promote, where appropriate, the adoption of voluntary national 
preparedness standards such as the private sector preparedness standard 
developed by the American National Standards Institute and based on the 
National Fire Protection Association 1600 Standard on Disaster/Emergency 
Management and Business Continuity Programs.
SEC. 7306. CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND READINESS ASSESSMENTS.

                posed by particular types of terrorist attacks within 
                the United States;
                    (B) to identify priorities for protective and 
                supportive measures; and
                    (C) to develop a comprehensive national plan for 
                securing the key resources and critical infrastructure 
                of the United States.
            (2) Under Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7, issued 
        on December 17, 2003, the Secretary of Homeland Security was 
        given 1 year to develop a comprehensive plan to identify, 
        prioritize, and coordinate the protection of critical 
        infrastructure and key resources.
            (3) The report of the National Commission on Terrorist 
        Attacks Upon the United States recommended that the Secretary of 
        Homeland Security should--
                    (A) identify those elements of the United States' 
                transportation, energy, communications, financial, and 
                other institutions that need to be protected;
                    (B) develop plans to protect that infrastructure; 
                and
                    (C) exercise mechanisms to enhance preparedness.

    (b) Reports on Risk Assessment and Readiness.--Not later than 180 
days after the date of enactment of this Act, and in conjunction with

            (1) the Department of Homeland Security's progress in 
        completing vulnerability and risk assessments of the Nation's 
        critical infrastructure;
            (2) the adequacy of the Government's plans to protect such 
        infrastructure; and
            (3) the readiness of the Government to respond to threats 
        against the United States.
SEC. 7307. NORTHERN COMMAND AND DEFENSE OF THE UNITED STATES 
                          HOMELAND.

    It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense should 
regularly assess the adequacy of the plans and strategies of the United 
States Northern Command with a view to ensuring that the United States 
Northern Command is prepared to respond effectively to all military and 
paramilitary threats within the United States, should it be called upon

SEC. 7408. USE OF COUNTERNARCOTICS ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES IN 
                          CERTAIN EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS.

    (a) In General.--Subtitle E of title VIII of the Homeland Security 
Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 411 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the 
following:

``SEC. 843. <<NOTE: 6 USC 413.>> USE OF COUNTERNARCOTICS ENFORCEMENT 
            ACTIVITIES IN CERTAIN EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS.

    ``(a) In General.--Each subdivision of the Department that is a 
National Drug Control Program Agency shall include as one of the 
criteria in its performance appraisal system, for each employee directly 
or indirectly involved in the enforcement of Federal, State, or local 
narcotics laws, the performance of that employee with respect to the 
enforcement of Federal, State, or local narcotics laws, relying to the 
greatest extent practicable on objective performance measures, 
including--
            ``(1) the contribution of that employee to seizures of 
        narcotics and arrests of violators of Federal, State, or local

        contributed to the efforts of other employees, either within the

        means--
                    ``(A) a National Drug Control Program Agency, as

                   Subtitle E--Public Safety Spectrum

SEC. 7501. DIGITAL TELEVISION CONVERSION DEADLINE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Congress granted television broadcasters additional 6 
        megahertz blocks of spectrum to transmit digital broadcasts

[[Page 118 STAT. 3855]]

        simultaneously with the analog broadcasts they submit on their 
        original 6 megahertz blocks of spectrum.
            (2) Section 309(j)(14) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 
        U.S.C. 309(j)(14)) requires each television broadcaster to cease 
        analog transmissions and return 6 megahertz of spectrum not 
        later than--
                    (A) December 31, 2006; or
                    (B) the date on which more than 85 percent of the 
                television households in the market of such broadcaster 
                can view digital broadcast television channels using a 
                digital television, a digital-to-analog converter box, 
                cable service, or satellite service.
            (3) Twenty-four megahertz of spectrum occupied by television 
        broadcasters has been earmarked for use by first responders as 
        soon as the television broadcasters return the spectrum 
        broadcasters being used to provide analog transmissions. This 
        spectrum would be ideal to provide first responders with 
        interoperable communications channels.
            (4) Large parts of the vacated spectrum could be auctioned 
        for advanced commercial services, such as wireless broadband.
            (5) The 85 percent penetration test described in paragraph 
        (2)(B) could delay the termination of analog television 
        broadcasts and the return of spectrum well beyond 2007, 
        hindering the use of that spectrum for these important public 
        safety and advanced commercial uses.
            (6) While proposals to require broadcasters to return, on a 
        date certain, the spectrum earmarked for future public safety 
        use may improve the ability of public safety entities to begin 
        planning for use of this spectrum, such proposals have certain 
        deficiencies. The proposals would require the dislocation of up 
        to 75 broadcast stations, which also serve a critical public 
        safety function by broadcasting weather, traffic, disaster, and 
        other safety alerts. Such disparate treatment of broadcasters 
        would be unfair to the broadcasters and their respective 
        viewers. Requiring the return of all analog broadcast spectrum 
        by a date certain would have the benefit of addressing the 
        digital television transition in a comprehensive fashion that 
        treats all broadcasters and viewers equally, while freeing 
        spectrum for advanced commercial services.
            (7) The Federal Communications Commission should consider 
        all regulatory means available to expedite the return of the 
        analog spectrum.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) Congress must act to pass legislation in the first 
        session of the 109th Congress that establishes a comprehensive 
        approach to the timely return of analog broadcast spectrum as 
        early as December 31, 2006; and
            (2) any delay in the adoption of the legislation described 
        in paragraph (1) will delay the ability of public safety 
        entities to begin planning to use this needed spectrum.

Homeland Security (in the case of the study required by subsection (b)) 
shall submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a report on such 
study, including the findings of such study.
    (2) In this subsection, the term ``appropriate committees of 
Congress'' means--
            (A) the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation 
        and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs 
        of the Senate; and
            (B) the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Select 
        Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives.

 Subtitle G--Improving International Standards and Cooperation to Fight 
                           Terrorist Financing

SEC. 7701. IMPROVING <<NOTE: 31 USC 5311 note.>> INTERNATIONAL 
                          STANDARDS AND COOPERATION TO FIGHT 
                          TERRORIST FINANCING.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The global war on terrorism and cutting off terrorist 
        financing is a policy priority for the United States and its 
        partners, working bilaterally and multilaterally through the 
        United Nations, the United Nations Security Council and its 
        committees, such as the 1267 and 1373 Committees, the Financial 
        Action Task Force (FATF), and various international financial 
        institutions, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF), 
        the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development 
        (IBRD), and the regional multilateral development banks, and 
        other multilateral fora.
            (2) The international financial community has become engaged 
        in the global fight against terrorist financing. The Financial 
        Action Task Force has focused on the new threat posed by 
        terrorist financing to the international financial system, 
        resulting in the establishment of the FATF's Eight Special 
        Recommendations on Terrorist Financing as the international 
        standard on combating terrorist financing. The Group of Seven 
        and the Group of Twenty Finance Ministers are developing action 
        plans to curb the financing of terror. In addition, other 
        economic and regional fora, such as the Asia-Pacific Economic 
        Cooperation (APEC) Forum, and the Western Hemisphere Financial 
        Ministers, have been used to marshal political will and actions 
        in support of combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) 
        standards.
            (3) FATF's Forty Recommendations on Money Laundering and the 
        Eight Special Recommendations on Terrorist Financing are the 
        recognized global standards for fighting money laundering and 
        terrorist financing. The FATF has engaged in an assessment 
        process for jurisdictions based on their compliance with these 
        standards.
            (4) In March 2004, the IMF and IBRD Boards agreed to make 
        permanent a pilot program of collaboration with the FATF to 
        assess global compliance with the FATF Forty Recommendations on 
        Money Laundering and the Eight Special Recommendations on 
        Terrorist Financing. As a result, anti-money laundering (AML) 
        and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) assessments are 
        now a regular part of their Financial Sector Assessment Program 
        (FSAP) and Offshore Financial Center assessments, which provide 
        for a comprehensive analysis of the strength of a jurisdiction's 
        financial system. These reviews assess potential systemic 
        vulnerabilities, consider sectoral development needs and 
        priorities, and review

[[Page 118 STAT. 3859]]

        the state of implementation of and compliance with key financial 
        codes and regulatory standards, among them the AML and CFT 
        standards.
            (5) To date, 70 FSAPs have been conducted, with over 24 of 
        those incorporating AML and CFT assessments. The international 
        financial institutions (IFIs), the FATF, and the FATF-style 
        regional bodies together are expected to assess AML and CFT 
        regimes in up to 40 countries or jurisdictions per year. This 
        will help countries and jurisdictions identify deficiencies in 
        their AML and CFT regimes and help focus technical assistance 
        efforts.
            (6) Technical assistance programs from the United States and 
        other nations, coordinated with the Department of State and 
        other departments and agencies, are playing an important role in 
        helping countries and jurisdictions address shortcomings in 
        their AML and CFT regimes and bringing their regimes into 
        conformity with international standards. Training is coordinated 
        within the United States Government, which leverages 
        multilateral organizations and bodies and international 
        financial institutions to internationalize the conveyance of 
        technical assistance.
            (7) In fulfilling its duties in advancing incorporation of 
        AML and CFT standards into the IFIs as part of the IFIs' work on 
        protecting the integrity of the international monetary system, 
        the Department of the Treasury, under the guidance of the 
        Secretary of the Treasury, has effectively brought together all 
        of the key United States Government agencies. In particular, 
        United States Government agencies continue to work together to 
        foster broad support for this important undertaking in various 
        multilateral fora, and United States Government agencies 
        recognize the need for close coordination and communication 
        within our own Government.

    (b) Sense of Congress Regarding Success in Multilateral 
Organizations.--It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the 
Treasury should continue to promote the dissemination of international 
AML and CFT standards, and to press for full implementation of the FATF 
40 + 8 Recommendations by all countries in order to curb financial risks 
and hinder terrorist financing around the globe. The efforts of the 
Secretary in this regard should include, where necessary or appropriate, 
multilateral action against countries whose counter-money laundering 
regimes and efforts against the financing of terrorism fall below 
recognized international standards.

SEC. 7804. PRIVATE SECTOR PREPAREDNESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that the insurance industry and credit-
rating agencies, where relevant, should carefully consider a company's 
compliance with standards for private sector disaster and emergency 
preparedness in assessing insurability and creditworthiness, to ensure 
that private sector investment in disaster and emergency preparedness is 
appropriately encouraged.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Geospatial technologies and geospatial data improve 
        government capabilities to detect, plan for, prepare for, and 
        respond to disasters in order to save lives and protect 
        property.
            (2) Geospatial data improves the ability of information 
        technology applications and systems to enhance public security 
        in a cost-effective manner.
            (3) Geospatial information preparedness in the United 
        States, and specifically in the Department of Homeland Security, 
        is insufficient because of--
                    (A) inadequate geospatial data compatibility;
                    (B) insufficient geospatial data sharing; and
                    (C) technology interoperability barriers.

    (b) Homeland Security Geospatial Information.--Section 703 of the 
Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 343) is amended--
