text: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
  
      This Act may be cited as the ``Energy Security and Foreign Policy 
  Integration Act of 2007''.
  
  SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
  
      The Congress finds the following:
              (1) The United States Government has historically failed to 
          adequately and systematically consider energy issues in the 
          development of foreign and national security policy.
              (2) Energy issues should be an integral part of the foreign 
          and national security policymaking process and should be taken 
          into consideration at all stages of policy planning and 
          development.
              (3) The United States growing dependence on foreign energy 
          supplies constrains its pursuit of a broad range of foreign 
          policy and national security goals and objectives.
              (4) The United States growing dependence on foreign energy 
          supplies poses increased economic and military vulnerabilities.
              (5) The United States Government is not organized 
          efficiently to manage its dependence on foreign sources of 
          energy, and a restructuring is needed to better ensure the 
          integration of the political, economic, technical, and security 
          aspects of energy policymaking through a formal interagency 
          process.
  
  SEC. 3. NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL REORGANIZATION.
  
      (a) Amendment.--Section 101(a) of the National Security Act of 1947 
  (50 U.S.C. 402(a)) is amended--
              (1) by redesignating paragraphs (5), (6), and (7) as

      (b) Establishment of a Directorate of Energy.--A Directorate of 
  Energy shall be established within the National Security Council which 
  shall be the lead United States Government entity in charge of 
  formulating and coordinating the national energy security policy of the 
  United States. The responsibilities of the Directorate of Energy shall 
  include--
              (1) directing the development of the national energy 
          security strategy of the United States;
              (2) coordinating an interagency approach to the national 
          energy security policy of the United States with the Department 
          of Energy, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, 
          the Department of the Treasury, the Central Intelligence 
          Agency, the National Economic Council, and other relevant 
          Federal entities, as appropriate, to address the integration of 
          national security, foreign, and domestic policy on the national 
          energy security policy of the United States;
              (3) coordinating interagency monitoring of international 
          and domestic energy developments to gauge their impact on the 
          national energy security policy of the United States, and 
          implementing changes in such policy as necessary to maintain 
          the national security and energy security of the United States;
              (4) identifying foreign sources of energy critical to the 
          national energy security of the United States and developing 
          strategies in conjunction with the Department of State for 
          ensuring United States access to critical foreign energy 
          resources;
              (5) developing strategies for reducing United States 
          dependence on foreign sources of energy, including demand 
          reduction, efficiency improvement, and development of 
          alternative and new sources of domestic energy;
              (6) developing strategies to reduce energy infrastructure 
          vulnerability to terrorist attacks and natural disasters, both 
          domestic and international, to help guard against supply 
          disruptions;
              (7) developing strategies in conjunction with the 
          Department of State for working with major international 
          producers and consumers, including China, Russia, the European 
          Union, India, Brazil, and Africa, to minimize politicization of 
          global energy resources while ensuring access through global 
          energy markets;
              (8) developing strategies in conjunction with the 
          Department of State, the Department of the Treasury, and other 
          relevant Federal agencies to broaden and enhance the 
          capabilities of the International Energy Agency to ensure open 
          energy markets and updated cooperative agreements among nations 
          regarding development and use of their strategic reserves; and
              (9) developing strategies with industry regarding 
          coordination of industry held reserves of oil and refined 
          petroleum products.
