bb4429edeb103b58f79141c2ddab0ac0cf1c0908757ff9593975f504d3a5abd6

Establishment of Benchmarks to Measure That Progress, and Reports to
Congress.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Over 145,000 American military personnel are currently
serving in Iraq, like thousands of others since March 2003, with
the bravery and professionalism consistent with the finest
traditions of the United States Armed Forces, and are deserving of
the strong support of all Americans.
(2) Many American service personnel have lost their lives, and
many more have been wounded in Iraq; the American people will
always honor their sacrifice and honor their families.
(3) The United States Army and Marine Corps, including their
Reserve components and National Guard organizations, together with
components of the other branches of the military, are performing
their missions while under enormous strain from multiple, extended
deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. These deployments, and those
that will follow, will have a lasting impact on future recruiting,
retention, and readiness of our Nation's all volunteer force.
(4) Iraq is experiencing a deteriorating problem of sectarian
and intrasectarian violence based upon political distrust and
cultural differences among factions of the Sunni and Shia
populations.
(5) Iraqis must reach political and economic settlements in
order to achieve reconciliation, for there is no military solution.
The failure of the Iraqis to reach such settlements to support a
truly unified government greatly contributes to the increasing
violence in Iraq.
(6) The responsibility for Iraq's internal security and halting
sectarian violence rests with the sovereign Government of Iraq.
(7) In December 2006, the bipartisan Iraq Study Group issued a
valuable report, suggesting a comprehensive strategy that includes
new and enhanced diplomatic and political efforts in Iraq and the
region, and a change in the primary mission of U.S. forces in Iraq,
that will enable the United States to begin to move its combat
forces out of Iraq responsibly.
(8) The President said on January 10, 2007, that ``I've made it
clear to the Prime Minister and Iraq's other leaders that America's
commitment is not open-ended'' so as to dispel the contrary
impression that exists.
(9) It is essential that the sovereign Government of Iraq set
out measurable and achievable benchmarks and President Bush said,
on January 10, 2007, that ``America will change our approach to
help the Iraqi government as it works to meet these benchmarks''.
(10) As reported by Secretary of State Rice, Iraq's Policy
Committee on National Security agreed upon a set of political,
security, and economic benchmarks and an associated timeline in
September 2006 that were: (A) reaffirmed by Iraq's Presidency
Council on October 6, 2006; (B) referenced by the Iraq Study Group;
and (C) posted on the President of Iraq's Web site.
(11) On April 21, 2007, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates
stated that ``our [American] commitment to Iraq is long-term, but
it is not a commitment to have our young men and women patrolling
Iraq's streets open-endedly'' and that ``progress in reconciliation
will be an important element of our evaluation''.
(12) The President's January 10, 2007, address had three
components: political, military, and economic. Given that
significant time has passed since his statement, and recognizing
the overall situation is ever changing, Congress must have timely
reports to evaluate and execute its constitutional oversight
responsibilities.
(b) Conditioning of Future United States Strategy in Iraq on the
Iraqi Government's Record of Performance on Its Benchmarks.--
(1) In general.--
(A) The United States strategy in Iraq, hereafter, shall be
conditioned on the Iraqi government meeting benchmarks, as told
to members of Congress by the President, the Secretary of
State, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, and reflected in the Iraqi Government's
commitments to the United States, and to the international
community, including:
(i) Forming a Constitutional Review Committee and then
completing the constitutional review.
(ii) Enacting and implementing legislation on de-
Baathification.
(iii) Enacting and implementing legislation to ensure
the equitable distribution of hydrocarbon resources of the
people of Iraq without regard to the sect or ethnicity of
recipients, and enacting and implementing legislation to
ensure that the energy resources of Iraq benefit Sunni
Arabs, Shia Arabs, Kurds, and other Iraqi citizens in an
equitable manner.
(iv) Enacting and implementing legislation on
procedures to form semi-autonomous regions.
(v) Enacting and implementing legislation establishing
an Independent High Electoral Commission, provincial
elections law, provincial council authorities, and a date
for provincial elections.
(vi) Enacting and implementing legislation addressing
amnesty.
(vii) Enacting and implementing legislation
establishing a strong militia disarmament program to ensure
that such security forces are accountable only to the
central government and loyal to the Constitution of Iraq.
(viii) Establishing supporting political, media,
economic, and services committees in support of the Baghdad
Security Plan.
(ix) Providing three trained and ready Iraqi brigades
to support Baghdad operations.
(x) Providing Iraqi commanders with all authorities to
execute this plan and to make tactical and operational
decisions, in consultation with U.S commanders, without
political intervention, to include the authority to pursue
all extremists, including Sunni insurgents and Shiite
militias.
(xi) Ensuring that the Iraqi Security Forces are
providing even handed enforcement of the law.
(xii) Ensuring that, according to President Bush, Prime
Minister Maliki said ``the Baghdad security plan will not
provide a safe haven for any outlaws, regardless of [their]
sectarian or political affiliation''.
(xiii) Reducing the level of sectarian violence in Iraq
and eliminating militia control of local security.
(xiv) Establishing all of the planned joint security
stations in neighborhoods across Baghdad.
(xv) Increasing the number of Iraqi security forces
units capable of operating independently.
(xvi) Ensuring that the rights of minority political
parties in the Iraqi legislature are protected.
(xvii) Allocating and spending $10 billion in Iraqi
revenues for reconstruction projects, including delivery of
essential services, on an equitable basis.
(xviii) Ensuring that Iraq's political authorities are
not undermining or making false accusations against members
of the Iraqi Security Forces.
(B) The President shall submit reports to Congress on how
the sovereign Government of Iraq is, or is not, achieving
progress towards accomplishing the aforementioned benchmarks,
and shall advise the Congress on how that assessment requires,
or does not require, changes to the strategy announced on
January 10, 2007.
(2) Reports required.--
(A) The President shall submit an initial report, in
classified and unclassified format, to the Congress, not later
than July 15, 2007, assessing the status of each of the
specific benchmarks established above, and declaring, in his
judgment, whether satisfactory progress toward meeting these
benchmarks is, or is not, being achieved.
(B) The President, having consulted with the Secretary of
State, the Secretary of Defense, the Commander, Multi-National
Forces-Iraq, the United States Ambassador to Iraq, and the
Commander of U.S. Central Command, will prepare the report and
submit the report to Congress.
(C) If the President's assessment of any of the specific
benchmarks established above is unsatisfactory, the President
shall include in that report a description of such revisions to
the political, economic, regional, and military components of
the strategy, as announced by the President on January 10,
2007. In addition, the President shall include in the report,
the advisability of implementing such aspects of the bipartisan
Iraq Study Group, as he deems appropriate.
(D) The President shall submit a second report to the
Congress, not later than September 15, 2007, following the same
procedures and criteria outlined above.

period ending September 15, 2007.

Commander, Multi-National Forces Iraq will be made available to
testify in open and closed sessions before the relevant committees
of the Congress.
