Subtitle J--Prevention of Terrorist Access to Destructive Weapons Act of 2004 SEC. 6901. SHORT TITLE. This subtitle may be cited as the ``Prevention of Terrorist Access to Destructive Weapons Act of 2004''. 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 states that harbor them. (2) Atomic weapons or weapons designed to release radiation (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 (and that have no legitimate private use) and to threaten or harm the national security or foreign relations of the United States.

Subtitle A--Diplomacy, Foreign Aid, and the Military in the War on Terrorism SEC. 7101. FINDINGS. Consistent with the report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress makes the following findings: (1) Long-term success in the war on terrorism demands the 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. (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) 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.

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

(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.

(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.

(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; (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.

(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.
