Sec. 4. The President is urged to encourage other nations who are allies and friends of the United States to contribute to the burden being borne by the United States in preventing the government of Iraq from using Weapons of Mass Destruction, which pose a threat to the world community. The President is also urged to seek financial, in-kind and other contributions to help defray the costs being incurred by the United States in this operation. For this purpose, a special account shall be established in the Treasury which will accept such financial contributions, and from which funds will be subject to obligation through the normal appropriations process. The Secretary of Defense, after consultation with the Secretary of State, shall provide a report to the Congress within 60 days after enactment as to the status of this effort, and shall make a comprehensive account of the efforts made and results obtained to share the burden of the common defense. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall report to the Congress within 30 days as to the establishment of such burden-sharing account in the Department of the Treasury.
