SEC. 6902. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE._________________________________________________________________________________________________

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:(1) The criminal use of man-portable air defense

systems (referred to in this section as ``MANPADS'')presents a serious threat to civil aviation worldwide,especially in the hands of terrorists or foreign statesthat harbor them.(2) Atomic weapons or weapons designed to releaseradiation (commonly known as ``dirty bombs'') could beused by terrorists to inflict enormous loss of life anddamage to property and the environment.(3) Variola virus is the causative agent ofsmallpox, an extremely serious, contagious, andsometimes fatal disease. Variola virus is classified asa Category A agent by the Centers for Disease Controland Prevention, meaning that it is believed to pose thegreatest potential threat for adverse public healthimpact and has a moderate to high potential for largescaledissemination. The last case of smallpox in theUnited States was in 1949. The last naturally occurringcase in the world was in Somalia in 1977. Althoughsmallpox has been officially eradicated after asuccessful worldwide vaccination program, there remaintwo official repositories of the variola virus forresearch purposes. Because it is so dangerous, thevariola virus may appeal to terrorists.(4) The use, or even the threatened use, ofMANPADS, atomic or radiological weapons, or the variolavirus, against the United States, its allies, or itspeople, poses a grave risk to the security, foreignpolicy, economy, and environment of the United States.Accordingly, the United States has a compellingnational security interest in preventing unlawfulactivities that lead to the proliferation or spread ofsuch items, including their unauthorized production,construction, acquisition, transfer, possession,import, or export. All of these activities markedlyincrease the chances that such items will be obtainedby terrorist organizations or rogue states, which coulduse them to attack the United States, its allies, orUnited States nationals or corporations.(5) There is no legitimate reason for a privateindividual or company, absent explicit governmentauthorization, to produce, construct, otherwiseacquire, transfer, receive, possess, import, export, oruse MANPADS, atomic or radiological weapons, or thevariola virus.(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subtitle is to combat thepotential use of weapons that have the ability to causewidespread harm to United States persons and the United Stateseconomy (and that have no legitimate private use) and tothreaten or harm the national security or foreign relations ofthe United States._________________________________________________________________________________________________

COUNTERTERRORIST TRAVEL INTELLIGENCE.(a) Findings.--Consistent with the report of the NationalCommission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States,Congress makes the following findings:(1) Travel documents are as important to terroristsas weapons since terrorists must travel clandestinelyto meet, train, plan, case targets, and gain access toattack sites.(2) International travel is dangerous forterrorists because they must surface to pass throughregulated channels, present themselves to bordersecurity officials, or attempt to circumvent inspectionpoints.(3) Terrorists use evasive, but detectable, methodsto travel, such as altered and counterfeit passportsand visas, specific travel methods and routes, liaisonswith corrupt government officials, human smugglingnetworks, supportive travel agencies, and immigrationand identity fraud.(4) Before September 11, 2001, no Federal agencysystematically analyzed terrorist travel strategies. Ifan agency had done so, the agency could have discoveredthe ways in which the terrorist predecessors to alQaeda had been systematically, but detectably,exploiting weaknesses in our border security since theearly 1990s.(5) Many of the hijackers were potentiallyvulnerable to interception by border authorities.Analyzing their characteristic travel documents andtravel patterns could have allowed authorities tointercept some of the hijackers and a more effectiveuse of information available in government databasescould have identified some of the hijackers.(6) The routine operations of our immigration lawsand the aspects of those laws not specifically aimed atprotecting against terrorism inevitably shaped alQaeda's planning and opportunities.(7) New insights into terrorist travel gained sinceSeptember 11, 2001, have not been adequately integratedinto the front lines of border security.(8) The small classified terrorist travelintelligence collection and analysis program currentlyin place has produced useful results and should beexpanded.(b) Strategy.--(1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after thedate of enactment of this Act, the Director of theNational Counterterrorism Center shall submit toCongress unclassified and classified versions of astrategy for combining terrorist travel intelligence,operations, and law enforcement into a cohesive effortto intercept terrorists, find terrorist travelfacilitators, and constrain terrorist mobilitydomestically and internationally.

SEC. 7501. DIGITAL TELEVISION CONVERSION DEADLINE._________________________________________________________________________________________________

Subtitle E--Public Safety SpectrumSEC. 7501. DIGITAL TELEVISION CONVERSION DEADLINE.(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:(1) Congress granted television broadcastersadditional 6 megahertz blocks of spectrum to transmitdigital broadcasts simultaneously with the analogbroadcasts they submit on their original 6 megahertzblocks of spectrum.(2) Section 309(j)(14) of the Communications Act of1934 (47 U.S.C. 309(j)(14)) requires each televisionbroadcaster to cease analog transmissions and return 6megahertz of spectrum not later than--(A) December 31, 2006; or(B) the date on which more than 85 percentof the television households in the market ofsuch broadcaster can view digital broadcasttelevision channels using a digital television,

a digital-to-analog converter box, cableservice, or satellite service.(3) Twenty-four megahertz of spectrum occupied bytelevision broadcasters has been earmarked for use byfirst responders as soon as the television broadcastersreturn the spectrum broadcasters being used to provideanalog transmissions. This spectrum would be ideal toprovide first responders with interoperablecommunications channels.(4) Large parts of the vacated spectrum could beauctioned for advanced commercial services, such aswireless broadband.(5) The 85 percent penetration test described inparagraph (2)(B) could delay the termination of analogtelevision broadcasts and the return of spectrum wellbeyond 2007, hindering the use of that spectrum forthese important public safety and advanced commercialuses.(6) While proposals to require broadcasters toreturn, on a date certain, the spectrum earmarked forfuture public safety use may improve the ability ofpublic safety entities to begin planning for use ofthis spectrum, such proposals have certaindeficiencies. The proposals would require thedislocation of up to 75 broadcast stations, which alsoserve a critical public safety function by broadcastingweather, traffic, disaster, and other safety alerts.Such disparate treatment of broadcasters would beunfair to the broadcasters and their respectiveviewers. Requiring the return of all analog broadcastspectrum by a date certain would have the benefit ofaddressing the digital television transition in acomprehensive fashion that treats all broadcasters andviewers equally, while freeing spectrum for advancedcommercial services.(7) The Federal Communications Commission shouldconsider all regulatory means available to expedite thereturn of the analog spectrum.(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--(1) Congress must act to pass legislation in thefirst session of the 109th Congress that establishes acomprehensive approach to the timely return of analogbroadcast spectrum as early as December 31, 2006; and(2) any delay in the adoption of the legislationdescribed in paragraph (1) will delay the ability ofpublic safety entities to begin planning to use thisneeded spectrum._________________________________________________________________________________________________

Subtitle G--Improving International Standards and Cooperation to Fight Terrorist FinancingSEC. 7701. IMPROVING INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND COOPERATION TO FIGHT TERRORIST FINANCING.(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:(1) The global war on terrorism and cutting offterrorist financing is a policy priority for the UnitedStates and its partners, working bilaterally andmultilaterally through the United Nations, the UnitedNations Security Council and its committees, such asthe 1267 and 1373 Committees, the Financial Action TaskForce (FATF), and various international financialinstitutions, including the International Monetary Fund(IMF), the International Bank for Reconstruction andDevelopment (IBRD), and the regional multilateraldevelopment banks, and other multilateral fora.(2) The international financial community hasbecome engaged in the global fight against terroristfinancing. The Financial Action Task Force has focusedon the new threat posed by terrorist financing to theinternational financial system, resulting in theestablishment of the FATF's Eight Special

Recommendations on Terrorist Financing as theinternational standard on combating terroristfinancing. The Group of Seven and the Group of TwentyFinance Ministers are developing action plans to curbthe financing of terror. In addition, other economicand regional fora, such as the Asia-Pacific EconomicCooperation (APEC) Forum, and the Western HemisphereFinancial Ministers, have been used to marshalpolitical will and actions in support of combating thefinancing of terrorism (CFT) standards.(3) FATF's Forty Recommendations on MoneyLaundering and the Eight Special Recommendations onTerrorist Financing are the recognized global standardsfor fighting money laundering and terrorist financing.The FATF has engaged in an assessment process forjurisdictions based on their compliance with thesestandards.(4) In March 2004, the IMF and IBRD Boards agreedto make permanent a pilot program of collaboration withthe FATF to assess global compliance with the FATFForty Recommendations on Money Laundering and the EightSpecial Recommendations on Terrorist Financing. As aresult, anti-money laundering (AML) and combating thefinancing of terrorism (CFT) assessments are now aregular part of their Financial Sector AssessmentProgram (FSAP) and Offshore Financial Centerassessments, which provide for a comprehensive analysisof the strength of a jurisdiction's financial system.These reviews assess potential systemicvulnerabilities, consider sectoral development needsand priorities, and review the state of implementationof and compliance with key financial codes andregulatory standards, among them the AML and CFTstandards.(5) To date, 70 FSAPs have been conducted, withover 24 of those incorporating AML and CFT assessments.The international financial institutions (IFIs), theFATF, and the FATF-style regional bodies together areexpected to assess AML and CFT regimes in up to 40countries or jurisdictions per year. This will helpcountries and jurisdictions identify deficiencies intheir AML and CFT regimes and help focus technicalassistance efforts.(6) Technical assistance programs from the UnitedStates and other nations, coordinated with theDepartment of State and other departments and agencies,are playing an important role in helping countries andjurisdictions address shortcomings in their AML and CFTregimes and bringing their regimes into conformity withinternational standards. Training is coordinated withinthe United States Government, which leveragesmultilateral organizations and bodies and internationalfinancial institutions to internationalize theconveyance of technical assistance.(7) In fulfilling its duties in advancingincorporation of AML and CFT standards into the IFIs aspart of the IFIs' work on protecting the integrity ofthe international monetary system, the Department ofthe Treasury, under the guidance of the Secretary ofthe Treasury, has effectively brought together all ofthe key United States Government agencies. Inparticular, United States Government agencies continueto work together to foster broad support for thisimportant undertaking in various multilateral fora, andUnited States Government agencies recognize the needfor close coordination and communication within our ownGovernment.(b) Sense of Congress Regarding Success in MultilateralOrganizations.--It is the sense of Congress that the Secretaryof the Treasury should continue to promote the dissemination ofinternational AML and CFT standards, and to press for fullimplementation of the FATF 40 + 8 Recommendations by allcountries in order to curb financial risks and hinder terrorist

financing around the globe. The efforts of the Secretary inthis regard should include, where necessary or appropriate,multilateral action against countries whose counter-moneylaundering regimes and efforts against the financing ofterrorism fall below recognized international standards._________________________________________________________________________________________________

Lautenberg,Norm Coleman,Managers on the Part of the Senate.JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE CONFERENCE

The managers on the part of the House and the Senate atthe conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses onthe amendment of the House to the bill (S. 2845), to reform theintelligence community and the intelligence and intelligencerelatedactivities of the United States Government, and forother purposes, submit the following joint statement to theHouse and the Senate in explanation of the effect of the actionagreed upon by the managers and recommended in the accompanyingconference report.The House amendment struck all of the Senate bill afterthe enacting clause and inserted a substitute text. The Senaterecedes from its disagreement to the amendment of the Housewith an amendment that is a substitute for the Senate bill andthe House amendment.A summary of the substitute agreed to in conference isset forth below:This legislation in part implements the recommendationsof the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the UnitedStates (the ``9/11 Commission'') but also responds to otherstudies and related commissions which focused on intelligencereform for protecting the United State against acts ofterrorism. In July 2004, the 9/11 Commission released acomprehensive report chronicling the circumstances leading upto the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Commissionmade over forty recommendations to strengthen the UnitedStates's ability to prevent future terrorist attacks. Theserecommendations included reorganization of the U.S.Intelligence Community by creating an empowered Director ofNational Intelligence (DNI) and a National CounterterrorismCenter (NCTC). The recommendations also spanned a variety ofother areas such as foreign policy and transportation security.This conference report makes a number of necessary changes ingovernment structure, law enforcement, and securityarrangements to protect the American people better.IntelligenceDNI. A number of past studies have found that the currentDirector of Central Intelligence lacks sufficient authority tosteward the Intelligence Community and transform it into anagile network to fight terrorist networks. In response, and asenvisioned by the Senate bill and the House amendment, theconference report creates a DNI appointed by the President,confirmed by the Senate, and without the responsibility ofdirecting the Central Intelligence Agency. Also as envisionedby the Senate bill and the House amendment, the DNI would headthe Intelligence Community; serve as the principal intelligenceadviser to the President; and oversee and direct theimplementation of the National Intelligence Program.The conference report's formulation of the DNI'sauthorities is a composite of the authorities in the Senatebill and the House amendment. For example, relying on variousHouse and Senate provisions, the conference report gives theDNI strong authority concerning the National IntelligenceProgram, such as unambiguous authority to task collection andanalysis. The conference report does not expand authority underwhich information is classified, which is pursuant to ExecutiveOrder or other Presidential directive, but rather directs theDNI to establish and implement guidelines for the intelligencecommunity for the purpose of such classification ofinformation. In addition, the Conferees recognize the need toprovide the DNI with enhanced personnel transfer flexibility inorder to maximize the Intelligence Community's functionality.The Conferees encourage the DNI to consult with the Committeesof the Congress enumerated by this provision to establishmutually agreeable procedures to fulfill the noticerequirements in this provision.NCTC. The NCTC is an innovation designed to achievehorizontal integration or ``matrix management'' for theExecutive Branch--meaning seamless coordination acrossdepartmental lines against interdisciplinary problemsepitomized by terrorism. Once again fusing perspectives fromthe Senate bill and the House amendment, the NCTC would be theprimary Executive Branch organization for counterterrorismintelligence and strategic operational planning.

Security Clearances and FBI Restructuring. The conferencereport rationalizes the Executive Branch's security clearanceprocess, which currently cannot satisfy the demand forclearances in government and the private sector. Mergingvisions articulated in the Senate bill and the House amendment,the conference report seeks to bring greater efficiency, speed,and interagency reciprocity to the security clearance processwhile maintaining the highest standards. Finally, theconference report contains a series of provisions, taken fromthe Senate bill and the House amendment, to restructure andbuttress the FBI's intelligence capability.Information Sharing. In order to help the governmentbetter ``connect the dots,'' the conference report requiresthat the President establish an Information Sharing Environmentto facilitate the sharing of terrorism information, through theuse of policy guidelines and technologies.Other issuesIntelligence reorganization, while critical, is only onepart of the larger task of protecting the United States againstterrorism and combating the root causes of terrorism. Indeed,the transnational threat of terrorism cuts across a disparatearray of issues: e.g., diplomacy, economic development,immigration, and transportation. Thus the conference reportfocuses not only on intelligence reform but also on a spectrumof other reforms designed to protect Americans.Foreign Relations. The conference report has a number ofprovisions concerning relations between the United States andkey Middle Eastern and South Asian countries as well as toimprove the manner in which the United States conducts itsforeign relations. For example, the conference report attemptsto improve U.S. public diplomacy, educational and culturalexchange programs, and foreign media outreach in order to buildgood will and promote democracy and prosperity in the MiddleEast. The conference report also includes provisions designedto strengthen United States policy to develop and implement astrategy to eliminate terrorist sanctuaries.Transportation Security. The conference report blendsHouse and Senate language on similar concerns. The conferencereport requires a national transportation security strategy,improves the use of passenger watchlists, and otherwiseenhances the safety of aviation and other forms of travel.Additionally, the conference report includes House provisionsrelating to the use of biometric technology to regulate accessto secure areas of airports and Senate provisions relating toair cargo and general aviation security.Terrorist Travel and Effective Screening. These sectionsinclude an array of measures to disrupt terrorist travel andintercept terrorists. For instance, the conference report wouldimprove intelligence collection and analysis on terroristtravel. Also, it would tighten security standards for keyidentification documents including driver's licenses, birthcertificates, and social security numbers.Border Protection, Immigration, and Visa Matters. Theseprovisions are designed to enhance security of U.S. borders andthe enforcement of border and immigration laws. For example,the conference report blends House and Senate provisions thatcall for an increase in the number of full-time border patrolagents. The conference report also includes Senate provisionsthat permit the Secretary of Homeland Security to carry out apilot program to test advanced technologies that will improveborder security between ports of entry along the northernborder of the United States. And it includes a House provisionthat increases detention bed space available for immigrationdetention and removal.Terrorism Prevention. These sections include measures toprovide additional enforcement tools against terroristactivity, e.g. money laundering and terrorist financing laws.The conference report adopts a House provision to amend theForeign Intelligence Surveillance Act concerning ``lone wolf''terrorists; a similar provision had previously passed theSenate.Diplomacy, Foreign Aid, and the Military in the War onTerrorism. In these provisions, the conference report guides

the Executive Branch concerning the use of all elements ofnational power--including diplomacy, military action,intelligence, law enforcement, economic policy, foreign aid,public diplomacy, and homeland defense--to win the war onterrorism. The conference report adopts Senate language onU.S.-Saudi relations and efforts to combat Islamist terrorism.In addition, it includes House language on terroristsanctuaries and U.S. assistance to Afghanistan and Pakistan.National Preparedness. The conference report consolidatesseveral sections on the Incident Command System andinteroperable communications from the Senate bill and the Houseamendment. It includes a Senate provision authorizing mutualaid for first responders in the National Capital Region.Civil liberties and privacyThe conference report creates a Privacy and CivilLiberties Oversight Board that is charged with ensuring thatprivacy and civil liberties concerns are appropriatelyconsidered in the implementation of laws, regulations, andpolicies of the government related to efforts to protect theNation against terrorism. The conference report also expressesa sense of the Congress that a civil liberties and privacyofficer should be designated for each department and agencythat carries out law enforcement or anti-terrorism functions.The task of protecting the United States againstterrorism poses a daunting challenge. This conference report isa significant step in the right direction for America.Peter Hoekstra,David Dreier,Henry Hyde,Duncan Hunter,Jane Harman,Robert Menendez,Ike Skelton,Managers on the Part of the House.Susan M.
