Expresses the sense of Congress regarding the conflict in Sudan, including U.S., United Nations (UN), and international humanitarian and political actions to address the conflict.

(Sec. 5) Amends the Sudan Peace Act to authorize the President to assist Sudan to: (1) support the implementation of a comprehensive peace agreement that applies to all regions of Sudan, including the Darfur region (authorizes FY 2005 through 2007 appropriations); and (2) address the humanitarian and human rights crisis in the Darfur region and eastern Chad, provided that no assistance be made available to the Government of Sudan (authorizes FY 2005 appropriations).
