Summary

Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2009 - Authorizes FY2009-FY2013 appropriations for assistance to Pakistan under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 for projects to benefit the people of Pakistan, including projects that promote: (1) democratic governance; (2) economic freedom and growth; and (3) investments in people, and particularly, women and children. Specifies that certain of such funds should be used for police reform and training. Limits, beginning in FY2010, certain military assistance and arms transfers to Pakistan until the Secretary of State certifies that Pakistan's security forces: (1) are making concerted efforts to prevent al Qaeda, the Taliban, and other terrorist groups from operating in Pakistan's territory; and (2) are not materially interfering in Pakistan's political or judicial processes. Provides for a national security waiver of such limits. Expresses the sense of Congress that coalition support funds are critical components in the fight against terrorism. Directs the Secretary to: (1) develop a comprehensive, cross-border strategy for working with the government of Pakistan, the government of Afghanistan, the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance (NATO), and other allies to implement effective counterterrorism and counterinsurgency measurers along the border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan; and (2) submit a related report to the appropriate congressional committees. Expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should: (1) recognize the bold political steps the Pakistan electorate has taken to elect a new civilian government; (2) expand its engagement with the government and people of Pakistan in areas of particular interest and importance to the people of Pakistan; and (3) continue to build a reciprocal security relationship with Pakistan.
