SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--
            (1) In general.--In the wake of the horrific terrorist 
        attacks on America of September 11, 2001, and the subsequent 
        bioterrorist attacks in various localities, the Congress 
        through the enactment of this Act immediately seeks to protect 
        America from further acts of bioterrorism and to help America's 
        cities, towns, and rural communities to adequately prevent, 
        prepare for, and effectively respond to bioterrorism.
            (2) Comprehensive approach to bioterrorism.--The Congress 
        finds as follows:
                    (A) To better enable America's cities, towns, and 
                rural communities to respond comprehensively to the 
                threat of bioterrorism, the United States must enhance 
                its emergency preparedness and response capabilities.
                    (B) Food and water are among our Nation's most 
                precious resources. The events of September 11th 
                underscore the danger and terrible potential of a 
                chemical, biological or radiological attack to disrupt 
                or contaminate these basic human necessities. To better 
                safeguard the most abundant food supply in the world 
                and protect our vast water resources, these resources 
                must be protected from the threat of bioterrorism.
                    (C) While preserving the fullness of our 
                constitutional rights and liberties, in the wake of 
                September 11th, the United States must enhance its law 
                enforcement capabilities.
                    (D) Strengthening and better coordinating 
                intelligence capabilities are critical for preventing 
                and preparing for bioterrorism.
                    (E) Given the prominent role that the United States 
                Armed Forces will play in any biological, chemical, 
                radiological, or nuclear attack on American soil, the 
                United States must enhance its military capabilities.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are as follows:
            (1) With respect to emergency preparedness and response--
                    (A) to provide America's cities, towns, and rural 
                communities with sufficient resources and expertise to 
                develop comprehensive community response plans for 
                bioterrorist threats; and
                    (B) to improve, through grants for training, 
                technology, and equipment, the ability of localities 
                throughout America to effectively respond in the event 
                of a bioterrorist attack.
            (2) With respect to strengthening the United States public 
        health system--
                    (A) to ensure that America's hospitals and 
                community health care centers have the necessary bed 
                space and personnel to respond to biological attacks;
                    (B) to ensure adequate training for doctors, 
                nurses, and emergency responders to enable them to 
                effectively identify and treat biological agents; and
                    (C) to ensure an adequate supply of vaccines and 
                treatments for all Americans and invest in the 
                expedited research needed to develop new and improved 
                vaccines and antibiotics.
            (3) With respect to the defense of physical 
        infrastructure--
                    (A) to eliminate threats from agricultural 
                pathogens and insect pests;

                Agriculture's information systems;
                    (C) to improve coordination between the Department 
                of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration 
                (``FDA'') to respond to food and water contamination;
                    (D) to assist State efforts to track food borne 
                pathogens;
                    (E) to provide more FDA inspectors for domestic 
                food shipments and domestic production facilities;
                    (F) to comprehensively assess the vulnerability of 
                water infrastructure facilities to chemical, biological 
                and radiological attacks;
                    (G) to review and develop water infrastructure 
                emergency response plans to take into account such 
                attacks;
                    (H) to research and develop vital technologies to 
                detect contamination of public water systems; and
                    (I) to enhance basic security at water 
                infrastructure facilities and for enhancements of water 
                systems' cyber-security.
            (4) With respect to law enforcement--
                    (A) to enhance the tools of law enforcement to 
                fight terrorism through the imposition of greater 
                restrictions on the handling and use of biological and 
                chemical agents, and the use of state-of-the-art 
                science and technology;
                    (B) to improve the readiness of Federal, State, and 
                local law enforcement personnel to prevent and address 
                biological terrorism threats through increased 
                manpower, equipment and training;
                    (C) to ensure the security of our borders against 
                biological and other terrorism threats through 
increased manpower, equipment, and use of state-of-the-art technology;
                    (D) to enhance the security of the United States 
                Postal Service through the use of state-of-the-art 
                technology; and
                    (E) to enhance the security against a major threat 
                to our Internet communications and automated data 
                systems through the use of state-of-the-art technology 
                and increased redundancy in vital data systems.

                    (A) to conduct a threat assessment, identifying and 
                prioritizing the means, vulnerabilities, and impacts of 
                attacks to guide the national strategy in preventing 
                and preparing for terrorist attack;
                    (B) to seamlessly share information between the 
                intelligence community, the Federal Government, State 
                and local governments, and law enforcement agencies in 
                order to prevent terrorist attacks;
                    (C) to educate Americans to the nature and 
                appropriate responses to biological weapon attacks and 
                provide for an effective educational dialogue between 
                government and the public; and
                    (D) to improve its intelligence collection and

                objectives;
                    (B) to determine the resources needed to allow our 
                uniformed servicemen and women to both fight and win 
                our Nation's war on terrorism abroad, as well as 
                participate with other governmental agencies and first 
                responders in homeland crisis and consequence 
                management exercises;
                    (C) to properly equip, train, and define the role 
                of our Nation's military in homeland defense, we 
                believe that Americans can feel confident that our 
                armed forces are prepared to respond to any foreign or 
                domestic terrorist attack;
                    (D) to redouble the Federal Government's efforts to

                verification programs administered by the Departments 
                of Defense, Energy, and State would be an effective 
                tool in preventing the widespread dissemination of 
                materials sought by terrorist groups and rogue 
                countries.
