     TITLE VII--NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE REVIEW OF THE NATIONAL 
                          RECONNAISSANCE OFFICE

SEC. 701. <<NOTE: 50 USC 401 note.>>  FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Imagery and signals intelligence satellites are vitally 
        important to the security of the Nation.
            (2) The National Reconnaissance Office (in this title 
        referred to as the ``NRO'') and its predecessor organizations 
        have helped protect and defend the United States for more than 
        30 years.
            (3) The end of the Cold War and the enormous growth in usage 
        of information technology have changed the environment in which 
        the intelligence community must operate. At the same time, the 
        intelligence community has undergone significant changes in 
        response to dynamic developments in strategy and in budgetary 
        matters. The acquisition and maintenance of satellite systems 
        are essential to providing timely intelligence to national 
        policymakers and achieving information superiority for military 
        leaders.
            (4) There is a need to evaluate the roles and mission, 
        organizational structure, technical skills, contractor 
        relationships, use of commercial imagery, acquisition of launch 
        vehicles, launch services, and launch infrastructure, mission 
        assurance, acquisition authorities, and relationship to other 
        agencies and departments of the Federal Government of the NRO in 
        order to assure continuing success in satellite reconnaissance 
        in the new millennium.

Designation Act''.

SEC. 802. <<NOTE: 21 USC 1901.>>  FINDINGS AND POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Presidential Decision Directive 42, issued on October 
        21, 1995, ordered agencies of the executive branch of the United 
        States Government to, inter alia, increase the priority and 
        resources devoted to the direct and immediate threat 
        international crime presents to national security, work more 
        closely with other governments to develop a global response to 
        this threat, and use aggressively and creatively all legal means 
        available to combat international crime.
            (2) Executive Order No. 12978 of October 21, 1995, provides 
        for the use of the authorities in the International Emergency 
        Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to target 
        and apply sanctions to four international narcotics traffickers 
        and their organizations that operate from Colombia.
            (3) IEEPA was successfully applied to international 
        narcotics traffickers in Colombia and based on that successful 
        case study, Congress believes similar authorities should be 
        applied worldwide.
            (4) There is a national emergency resulting from the 
        activities of international narcotics traffickers and their 
        organizations that threatens the national security, foreign 
        policy, and economy of the United States.

    (b) Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States to apply 
economic and other financial sanctions to significant foreign narcotics 
traffickers and their organizations worldwide to protect the national 
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States from the 
threat described in subsection (a)(4).
