Directs the President, by the earlier of January 1, 2011, or 90 days

recommendations issued to include recommendations for reducing U.S.

the deaths of Afghan civilians and on Afghan militias, contractors,  
subcontractors, or other armed groups that are not part of the Afghan  
National Security Forces.
