TSA shall review and update the Privacy Impact Assessment for the Secure Flight programs for accuracy and make such assessment available to the public on TSA's website.  TSA shall also review its intelligence-based screening rules, notify specified federal agencies of any rule changes, and ensure such rules are incorporated in the risk analysis conducted during the Federal Air Marshal mission scheduling process. The Government Accountability Office shall:   study the effectiveness of such rules in identifying and mitigating potential threats to aviation security; and examine coordination between the TSA, DHS, and other relevant partners relating to changing, updating, implementing, or suspending such rules as necessary.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The events of September 11, 2001, have heightened
        awareness of the threat of acts of bioterrorism, including
        attacks directed at the domestic food supply and underlying
        agriculture.
            (2) Evidence of access to and rudimentary experiments with
        chemical and biological agents and the reported interest in the
        operation of cropdusting aircraft point to possible terrorist
        intent to use biological or chemical weapons.
            (3) An attack of agricultural bioterrorism would pose
        serious challenges such as--
                    (A) hazards to human health;
                    (B) erosion of public confidence in the safety of
                the domestic food supply; and
                    (C) damage to the economy.
            (4) It is important to develop short- and long-term
        strategies and supporting technology to more effectively and
        efficiently protect the domestic food supply from acts of
        bioterrorism.
            (5) A program of ongoing research and development is
        required to reduce the vulnerability of plant and animal
        agriculture and the food supply.
            (6) It is critical to bring Federal, academic, and private
        sector capacities to bear on the threat of agricultural
        bioterrorism.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to strengthen the research and development capacity of
        the United States to respond to the threat of agricultural
        bioterrorism;
            (2) to promote the collaboration between the Federal,
        academic, and private sectors in addressing agricultural
        bioterrorism; and
            (3) to strengthen the capacity of regulatory agencies to
        prepare for, respond to, and mitigate the consequences of a
        bioterrorist attack.

SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF U.S. POLICY.

    It shall be the policy of the United States to--
            (1) take all necessary and appropriate steps in accordance
        with international agreements to support the commitments of the
        United States to ensure the physical security and protection of
        Camp Liberty/Hurriya residents, members of the opposition
        Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK), in accordance with the United States
        Embassy Statement on Transfer of Security Responsibility for
        Camp Ashraf of December 28, 2008;
            (2) assist the United Nations High Commissioner for
        Refugees in ensuring the rapid and orderly resettlement of all
        residents of Camp Liberty/Hurriya to safe locations outside of
        Iraq; and
            (3) permit the admission as refugees of the residents of
        Camp Liberty/Hurriya to the United States, who express a desire
        for such resettlement.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States recognized the residents of the
        former Camp Ashraf who now reside in Camp Liberty/Hurriya as
        ``protected persons'' under the Fourth Geneva Convention and
        committed itself to protect the residents until their final
        disposition.
            (2) The United States expects the Government of Iraq to
        continue this commitment of protection of the residents of Camp
        Liberty/Hurriya, as reflected in the United States Embassy
        Statement on Transfer of Security Responsibility for Camp
        Ashraf of December 28, 2008.
            (3) The residents of the former Camp Ashraf, who now reside
        in Camp Liberty/Hurriya, renounced violence and unilaterally
        disarmed more than a decade ago.
            (4) Dozens of residents of Camp Liberty/Hurriya were
        permanent residents or political refugees in the United States.
            (5) Camp Liberty/Hurriya residents have provided valuable
        intelligence to the international community concerning efforts
        by the Government of Iran to establish a nuclear weapons
        capability and to supply the terrorist groups in Iraq with
        Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
            (6) Camp Liberty/Hurriya residents share the desire of the
        United States in seeing the establishment of a peaceful,
        democratic, non-nuclear government in Iran with full rights for
        women and religious and ethnic minorities.
            (7) The residents of Camp Liberty/Hurriya are cooperating
        in the framework of an agreement between the United Nations and
        the Government of Iraq to transfer the residents out of Iraq.
            (8) Despite Iraq's acceptance of the U.S. commitment to
        protect Camp Ashraf residents, the unarmed residents have been
        attacked five times in 2009, 2011, and 2013 during their
        residence in the former Camp Ashraf and Camp Liberty/Hurriya by
        external persons and organizations, including Iraqi security
        forces, killing more than 100 residents and wounding 1,000
        others.
            (9) Iraqi security forces are permanently stationed all
        around Camp Liberty/Hurriya, despite their history of violence
        against the unarmed residents, while all Liberty/Hurriya
        residents are kept inside the Camp's walled compound, with no
        freedom of movement for the residents outside the Camp and no
        access to counsel, family, NGOs, and press.

              HURRIYA.

        appropriate assistance to the United Nations High Commissioner
        for Refugees to process applications by the residents of Camp
        Liberty/Hurriya for refugee status and to secure their orderly
        resettlement in safe locations outside of Iraq, including in
        the United States for any such residents who express such a
        desire.
            (3) The United States shall timely admit as refugees the
        residents of Camp Liberty/Hurriya in the U.S. and in doing so
        shall not delay or bar such resettlement merely because any
        such resident is or has been a member of, or supports or has
        supported, organizations or groups that were subject to the
        Secretary of State's decision of September 21, 2012, in Public
        Notice 8049, notwithstanding Sec. Sec. 212(a)(3)(B) and
        212(a)(3)(F) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, as
        amended.
            (4) Within 90 days of the effective date of this Act, the
        Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Department of
        Homeland Security shall report to the Congress on steps taken
        by the United States to guard the safety of the residents of
        Camp Liberty/Hurriya and to secure their orderly resettlement
        in safe locations in accordance with the provisions of this
        Act.

High Commissioner for Refugees to process refugee applications by the residents of Camp Liberty/Hurriya and to secure their safe resettlement outside of Iraq; and (3) admit the residents of Camp Liberty/Hurriya as refugees in the United States and not delay or bar such resettlement because any such resident is or has been a member of, or supports or has supported, organizations or groups that were subject to the Secretary of State's decision of September 21, 2012.
