Congressional policy, findings, and goals
The Congress recognizes that Soviet forces occupying Afghanistan pose a security threat to Pakistan.

“(a) Congressional Findings.—
Congress finds the following:
“(1) A democratic, stable, and prosperous Pakistan that is a full and reliable partner in the struggle against the Taliban, al Qaeda, and other terrorist groups, and is a responsible steward of its nuclear weapons and technology, is vital to the national security of the United States.
“(2) Since , the Government of Pakistan has been a critical ally and an important partner in removing the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and combating al Qaeda.
“(3) Pakistan has made great sacrifices in the shared struggle against al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist groups, engaging in military operations that have led to the deaths of hundreds of Pakistani security personnel and enduring acts of terrorism that have killed hundreds of Pakistani civilians.
“(4) Publicly-stated goals of the Government of Pakistan and the national interests of the United States are in close agreement in many areas, including—
“(A) curbing the proliferation of nuclear weapons technology;
“(B) combating poverty and corruption;
“(C) enabling effective government institutions, including public education;
“(D) promoting democracy and the rule of law, particularly at the national level;
“(E) addressing the continued presence of Taliban and other violent extremist forces throughout the country;
“(F) maintaining the authority of the Government of Pakistan in all parts of its national territory;
“(G) securing the borders of Pakistan to prevent the movement of militants and terrorists into other countries and territories; and
“(H) effectively dealing with violent extremism.
“(5) The opportunity exists for shared effort in helping to achieve correlative goals with the Government of Pakistan, particularly—
“(A) increased United States assistance to Pakistan, as appropriate, to achieve progress in meeting the goals of subparagraphs (A) through (C) of paragraph (4);
“(B) increased commitment on the part of the Government of Pakistan to achieve the goals of paragraph (4)(D), particularly given continued concerns, based on the conduct of previous elections, regarding whether parliamentary elections scheduled for 2007 will be free, fair, and inclusive of all political parties and carried out in full accordance with internationally-recognized democratic norms; and
“(C) increased commitment on the part of the Government of Pakistan to take actions described in paragraph (4)(E), particularly given—
“(i) the continued operation of the Taliban’s Quetta shura, as noted by then-North Atlantic Treaty Organization Supreme Allied Commander General James Jones in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on ; and
“(ii) the continued operation of al Qaeda affiliates Lashkar-e Taiba and Jaish-e Muhammad, sometimes under different names, as demonstrated by the lack of meaningful action taken against Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, Maulana Masood Azhar, and other known leaders and members of such terrorist organizations; and
“(D) increased commitment on the part of the Government of the United States in regard to working with all elements of Pakistan [sic] society in helping to achieve the correlative goals described in subparagraphs (A) through (H) of paragraph (4).
“(b) Statements of Policy.—
The following shall be the policy of the United States:
“(1) To maintain and deepen its friendship and long-term strategic relationship with Pakistan.
“(2) To work with the Government of Pakistan to combat international terrorism, especially in the frontier provinces of Pakistan, and to end the use of Pakistan as a safe haven for terrorist groups, including those associated with al Qaeda or the Taliban.
“(3) To support robust funding for programs of the United States Agency for International Development and the Department of State that assist the Government of Pakistan in working toward the goals described in subsection (a)(4), as the Government of Pakistan demonstrates a clear commitment to building a moderate, democratic state.
“(4) To work with the international community to secure additional financial and political support to effectively implement the policies set forth in this subsection.
“(5) To facilitate a just resolution of the dispute over the territory of Kashmir, to the extent that such facilitation is invited and welcomed by the Governments of Pakistan and India and by the people of Kashmir.
“(6) To facilitate greater communication and cooperation between the Governments of Afghanistan and Pakistan for the improvement of bilateral relations and cooperation in combating terrorism in both countries.
“(7) To work with the Government of Pakistan to dismantle existing proliferation networks and prevent the proliferation of nuclear technology.
“(c) Strategy Relating to Pakistan.—
“(1) Requirement for report on strategy.—
Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act [], the President shall transmit to the appropriate congressional committees a report that describes the long-term strategy of the United States to engage with the Government of Pakistan to achieve the goals described in subparagraphs (A) through (H) of subsection (a)(4) and to carry out the policies described in subsection (b).
“(2) Form.—
The report required by paragraph (1) shall be transmitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex, if necessary.

“(1) Limitation.—
For fiscal year 2008, United States assistance under chapter 2 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2311 et seq.) or section 23 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2763) may not be provided to, and a license for any item controlled under the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.) may not be approved for, Pakistan until the President transmits to the appropriate congressional committees a report that contains a determination of the President that the Government of Pakistan—
