TITLE I--ECONOMIC AND DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FOR AFGHANISTAN

SEC. 101. DECLARATION OF POLICY.

    Congress makes the following declarations:
            (1) The United States and the international community 
        should support efforts that advance the development of 
        democratic civil authorities and institutions in Afghanistan 
        and the establishment of a new broad-based, multi-ethnic, 
        gender-sensitive, and fully representative government in 
        Afghanistan.
            (2) The United States, in particular, should provide its 
        expertise to meet immediate humanitarian and refugee needs, 
        fight the production and flow of illicit narcotics, and aid in 
        the reconstruction of Afghanistan's agriculture, health care, 
        and educational systems.
            (3) By promoting peace and security in Afghanistan and 
        preventing a return to conflict, the United States and the 
        international community can help ensure that Afghanistan does 
        not again become a source for international terrorism.
            (4) The United States should support the objectives agreed 
        to on December 5, 2001, in Bonn, Germany, regarding the 
        provisional arrangement for Afghanistan as it moves toward the 
        establishment of permanent institutions and, in particular, 
        should work intensively toward ensuring the future neutrality 
        of Afghanistan, establishing the principle that neighboring 
        countries and other countries in the region do not threaten or 
        interfere in one another's sovereignty, territorial integrity, 
        or political independence, including supporting diplomatic 
        initiatives to support this goal.
            (5) The special emergency situation in Afghanistan, which 
        from the perspective of the American people combines security, 
        humanitarian, political, law enforcement, and development 
        imperatives, requires that the President should receive maximum 
        flexibility in designing, coordinating, and administering 
        efforts with respect to assistance for Afghanistan and that a 
        temporary special program of such assistance should be 
        established for this purpose.

SEC. 102. PURPOSES OF ASSISTANCE.

    The purposes of assistance authorized by this title are--
            (1) to help assure the security of the United States and 
        the world by reducing or eliminating the likelihood of violence 
        against United States or allied forces in Afghanistan and to 
        reduce the chance that Afghanistan will again be a source of 
        international terrorism;
            (2) to support the continued efforts of the United States 
        and the international community to address the humanitarian 
        crisis in Afghanistan and among Afghan refugees in neighboring 
        countries;
            (3) to fight the production and flow of illicit narcotics, 
        to control the flow of precursor chemicals used in the 
        production of heroin, and to enhance and bolster the capacities 
        of Afghan governmental authorities to control poppy cultivation 
        and related activities;
            (4) to help achieve a broad-based, multi-ethnic, gender-
        sensitive, and fully representative government in Afghanistan 
        that is freely chosen by the people of Afghanistan and that 
        respects the human rights of all Afghans, particularly women, 
        including authorizing assistance for the rehabilitation and 
        reconstruction of Afghanistan with a particular emphasis on 
        meeting the educational, health, and sustenance needs of women 
        and children to better enable their full participation in 
        Afghan society;
            (5) to support the Government of Afghanistan in its 
        development of the capacity to facilitate, organize, develop, 
        and implement projects and activities that meet the needs of 
        the Afghan people;
            (6) to foster the participation of civil society in the 
        establishment of the new Afghan government in order to achieve 
        a broad-based, multiethnic, gender-sensitive, fully 
        representative government freely chosen by the Afghan people, 
        without prejudice to any decisions which may be freely taken by 
        the Afghan people about the precise form in which their 
        government is to be organized in the future, as may be decided 
        through the convening of a traditional Afghan assembly or 
        ``Loya Jirga'' as agreed to on December 5, 2001, in Bonn, 
        Germany; and
            (7) to support the reconstruction of Afghanistan through, 
        among other things, programs that create jobs and rebuild the 
        agriculture sector, the health care system, and the educational 
        system of Afghanistan.

SEC. 103. PRINCIPLES OF ASSISTANCE.

    The following principles should guide the provision of assistance 
authorized by this title:
            (1) Terrorism and narcotics control.--Assistance should be 
        designed to reduce the likelihood of harm to United States and 
        other allied forces in Afghanistan and the region, the 
        likelihood of additional acts of international terrorism 
        emanating from Afghanistan, and the cultivation, production, 
        trafficking, and use of illicit narcotics in Afghanistan.
            (2) Role of women.--Assistance should increase the 
        participation of women at the national, regional, and local 
        levels in Afghanistan, wherever feasible, by enhancing the role 
        of women 
2000
in decisionmaking processes, as well as by providing 
        support for programs that aim to expand economic and 
        educational opportunities and health programs for women and 
        educational and health programs for girls.
            (3) Afghan ownership.--Assistance should build upon Afghan 
        traditions and practices. The strong tradition of community 
        responsibility and self-reliance in Afghanistan should be built 
        upon to increase the capacity of the Afghan people and 
        institutions to participate in the reconstruction of 
        Afghanistan.
            (4) Stability.--Assistance should encourage the restoration 
        of security in Afghanistan, including, among other things, the 
        disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of combatants, 
        and the establishment of the rule of law, including the 
        establishment of a police force and an effective, independent 
        judiciary.
            (5) Coordination.--Assistance should be part of a larger 
        donor effort for Afghanistan. The magnitude of the 
        devastation--natural and manmade--to institutions and 
        infrastructure make it imperative that there be close 
        coordination and collaboration among donors. The United States 
        should endeavor to assert its leadership to have the efforts of 
        international donors help achieve the purposes established by 
        this title.

SEC. 104. AUTHORIZATION OF ASSISTANCE.

    (a) In General.--The President is authorized to provide assistance
