SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``United States-Afghanistan Security 
and Stability Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Congress supports the following elements outlined in 
        the President's White Paper of the Interagency Policy Group's 
        Report on United States Policy Toward Afghanistan and Pakistan:
                    (A) The United States has a vital national security 
                interest in addressing the current and potential 
                security threats posed by extremists in Afghanistan and 
                Pakistan.
                    (B) The United States homeland, Pakistan, 
                Afghanistan, India, Europe, Australia, and United 
                States allies in the Middle East remain targets of al 
                Qaeda and other extremist groups.
                    (C) At the same time, the Taliban and related 
                organizations seek to reestablish their old sanctuaries 
                in Afghanistan.
            (2) Afghanistan is a central front in the global struggle 
        against al Qaeda and other affiliated networks. A stable 
        Afghanistan that is free from al Qaeda, the Taliban, and 
        extremist influence and ideology will require a patient, long-
        term, integrated political, military, and economic strategy 
        that is adequately resourced to accomplish its objectives.
            (3) Allowing Afghanistan to revert to its pre-September 11, 
        2001, status of control by al Qaeda and the Taliban is not an 
        option for United States policy.
            (4) Security and stability in Afghanistan is further 
        complicated given the prevalence of ungoverned space between 
        Afghanistan and Pakistan in which state control has not been 
        fully exercised given ethnic and tribal affiliations.
            (5) The United States will continue to demonstrate its 
        long-term commitment to the people of Afghanistan by--
                    (A) sustained civilian assistance and providing 
                United States commanders with the troops and resources 
                needed to conduct counterinsurgency operations with the 
                support of the Government and people of Afghanistan; 
                and
                    (B) continuing to engage the Afghan people in ways 
                that demonstrate United States commitment to promoting 
                a legitimate and capable Afghan government.
            (6) The objectives of United States policy toward 
        Afghanistan are to empower and enable Afghanistan to--
                    (A) develop into secure and stable state with a 
                government that exercises full control and authority 
                over all the country; and
                    (B) develop increasingly reliable and capable 
                Afghan security forces that can actively confront, and 
                deny safe haven to, al Qaeda, the Taliban, and other 
                extremists and eventually lead the counterinsurgency 
                and counterterrorism fight with reduced United States 
                assistance.

                with reduced United States assistance.
                    (F) Supporting Afghanistan in disrupting and 
                dismantling narco-traffickers and breaking the 
                narcotics-insurgency nexus.
                    (G) Ensuring that nations and various international
