         DIVISION A--CONSOLIDATION OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AGENCIES

                      TITLE I--GENERAL PROVISIONS

SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

    This division may be cited as the ``Foreign Affairs Agencies 
Consolidation Act of 1997''.

SEC. 102. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) With the end of the Cold War, the international 
        challenges facing the United States have changed, but the 
        fundamental national interests of the United States have not. 
        The security, economic, and humanitarian interests of the 
        United States require continued United States engagement in 
        international affairs. The leading role of the United States in 
        world affairs will be as important in the twenty-first century 
        as it has been in the twentieth.
            (2) The United States budget deficit requires that the 
        foreign as well as the domestic programs and activities of the 
        United States be carefully reviewed for potential savings. 
        Wherever possible, foreign programs and activities must be 
        streamlined, managed more efficiently, and adapted to the 
        requirements of the post-Cold War era.
            (3) In order to downsize the foreign programs and 
        activities of the United States without jeopardizing United 
        States interests, strong and effective leadership will be 
        required. As the official principally responsible for the 
        conduct of foreign policy, the Secretary of State must have the 
        authority to allocate efficiently the resources within the 
        international affairs budget. As a first step in the downsizing 
        process, the proliferation of foreign affairs agencies that 
        occurred during the Cold War must be reversed, and functions of 
        these agencies must be restored to the Secretary of State.
            (4) A streamlined and reorganized foreign affairs structure 
        under the strengthened leadership of the Secretary of State can 
        more effectively promote the international interests of the 
        United States in the next century than the existing structure.
            (5) The new foreign affairs structure should be one that 
        will maintain the quality and integrity of the public diplomacy 
        and arms control functions now performed by the United States 
        Information Agency and the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.

SEC. 103. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this division are--
            (1) to consolidate and reinvent the foreign affairs 
        agencies of the United States within the Department of State;
            (2) to assist congressional efforts to balance the Federal 
        budget and reduce the Federal debt;
            (3) to provide for the reorganization of the Department of 
        State to maximize the efficient use of resources, eliminate 
        redundancy in functions, effect budget savings, and improve the 
        management of the Department of State;
            (4) to ensure that the United States maintains adequate 
        representation abroad within budgetary restraints;
            (5) to ensure that programs critical to the promotion of 
        United States national interests be maintained;
            (6) to encourage United States foreign affairs agencies to 
        maintain a high percentage of the best qualified, most 
        competent United States citizens serving in the United States 
        Government while downsizing significantly the total number of 
        people employed by such agencies;
            (7) to strengthen--
                    (A) the coordination of United States foreign 
                policy; and
                    (B) the leading role of the Secretary of State in 
                the formulation and articulation of United States 
                foreign policy;
            (8) to abolish the United States Arms Control and 
        Disarmament Agency, the United States Information Agency, the 
        United States International Development Cooperation Agency, and 
        consolidate the functions of these agencies into the Department 
        of State while preserving the quality and integrity of these 
        functions; and
            (9) to consolidate some functions of the Agency for 
        International Development into the Department of State.

        information as the Secretary of State may consider appropriate, 
        the report under paragraph (1) shall include the following:
                    (A) The number of persons residing in the United 
                States who enjoy full immunity from the criminal 
                jurisdiction of the United States under laws extending 
                diplomatic privileges and immunities.
                    (B) Each case involving an alien described in 
                subparagraph (A) in which the appropriate authorities 
                of a State, a political subdivision of a State, or the 
                United States reported to the Department of State that 
                the authority had reasonable cause to believe the alien 
                committed a serious criminal offense within the United 
                States.
                    (C) Each case in which the United States has 
                certified that a person enjoys full immunity from the 
                criminal jurisdiction of the United States under laws 
                extending diplomatic privileges and immunities.
                    (D) The number of United States citizens who are 
                residing in a receiving state and who enjoy full 
                immunity from the criminal jurisdiction of such state 
                under laws extending diplomatic privileges and 
                immunities.
                    (E) Each case involving a United States citizen 
                under subparagraph (D) in which the United States has 
                been requested by the government of a receiving state 
                to waive the immunity from criminal jurisdiction of the 
                United States citizen.
            (3) Serious criminal offense defined.--The term ``serious 
        criminal offense'' means--
                    (A) any felony under Federal, State, or local law;
                    (B) any Federal, State, or local offense punishable 
                by a term of imprisonment of more than 1 year;
                    (C) any crime of violence as defined for purposes 
                of section 16 of title 18, United States Code; or
                    (D) driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs 
                or driving while intoxicated if the case involves 
                personal injury to another individual.
    (b) United States Policy Concerning Reform of Diplomatic 
Immunity.--It is the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of State 
should explore, in appropriate fora, whether states should enter into 
agreements and adopt legislation--
            (1) to provide jurisdiction in the sending state to 
        prosecute crimes committed in the receiving state by persons 
        entitled to immunity from criminal jurisdiction under laws 
        extending diplomatic privileges and immunities; and
            (2) to provide that where there is probable cause to 
        believe that an individual who is entitled to immunity from the 
        criminal jurisdiction of the receiving state under laws 
        extending diplomatic privileges and immunities committed a 
        serious crime, the sending state will waive such immunity or 
        the sending state will prosecute such individual.

SEC. 1707. CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO EFFICIENCY IN THE 
              CONDUCT OF FOREIGN POLICY.

    It is the sense of the Congress that the Secretary, after 
consultation with the appropriate congressional committees, should 
submit a plan to the Congress to consolidate some or all of the 
functions currently performed by the Department of State, the agency 
for International Development, and the Arms Control and Disarmament 
Agency, in order to increase efficiency and accountability in the 
conduct of the foreign policy of the United States.

SEC. 1708. CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENT CONCERNING RADIO FREE EUROPE/RADIO 
              LIBERTY.

    It is the sense of the Congress that Radio Free Europe/Radio 
Liberty should continue surrogate broadcasting beyond the year 2000 to 
countries whose people do not yet fully enjoy freedom of expression. 
Recent events in Serbia, Belarus, and Slovakia, among other nations, 
demonstrate that even after the end of communist rule in such nations, 
tyranny under other names still threatens the freedom of their peoples, 
and hence the stability of Europe and the national security interest of 
the United States. The Broadcasting Board of Governors should therefore 
continue to allocate sufficient funds to Radio Free Europe/Radio 
Liberty to continue broadcasting at current levels to target countries 
and to increase these levels in response to renewed threats to freedom.

              CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.

SEC. 1712. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO RECOGNITION OF THE ECUMENICAL 
              PATRIARCHATE BY THE GOVERNMENT OF TURKEY.

    It is the sense of the Congress that the United States--
            (1) should recognize the Ecumenical Patriarchate and its 
        nonpolitical, religious mission;
            (2) should encourage the continued maintenance of the 
        institution's physical security needs, as provided for under 
        Turkish and international law; and
            (3) should use its good offices to encourage the reopening 
        of the Ecumenical Patriarchate's Halki Patriarchal School of 
        Theology.

SEC. 1713. RETURN OF HONG KONG TO PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the return of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of 
        China should be carried out in a peaceful manner, with respect 
        for the rule of law and respect for human rights, freedom of 
        speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association, freedom 
        of movement; and
            (2) these basic freedoms are not incompatible with the rich 
        culture and history of the People's Republic of China.

SEC. 1714. DEVELOPMENT OF DEMOCRACY IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States stands as a beacon of democracy and 
        freedom in the world.
            (2) A stable and democratic Republic of Serbia is important 
        to the interests of the United States, the international 
community, and to peace in the Balkans.
            (3) Democratic forces in the Republic of Serbia are 
        beginning to emerge, notwithstanding the efforts of Europe's 
        longest-standing communist dictator, Slobodan Milosevic.
            (4) The Republic of Serbia completed municipal elections on 
        November 17, 1996.
            (5) In 14 of Serbia's 18 largest cities, and in a total of 
        42 major municipalities, candidates representing parties in 
        opposition to the Socialist Party of President Milosevic and 
        the Yugoslav United Left Party of his wife Mirjana Markovic won 
        a majority of the votes cast.
            (6) Socialist Party-controlled election commissions and 
        government authorities thwarted the people's will by annulling 
        free elections in the cities of Belgrade, Nis, Smederevska 
        Palanka, and several other cities where opposition party 
        candidates won fair elections.
            (7) Countries belonging to the Organization for Security 
        and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on January 3, 1997, called 
        upon President Milosevic and all the political forces in the 
        Republic of Serbia to honor the people's will and honor the 
        election results.
            (8) Hundreds of thousands of Serbs marched in the streets 
        of Belgrade on a daily basis from November 20, 1996, through 
        February 1997, demanding the implementation of the election 
        results and greater democracy in the country.
            (9) The partial reinstatement of opposition party victories 
        in January 1997 and the subsequent enactment by the Serbian 
        legislature of a special law implementing the results of all 
        the 1996 municipal elections does not atone for the Milosevic 
        regime's trampling of rule of law, orderly succession of power, 
        and freedom of speech and of assembly.
            (10) The Serbian authorities have sought to continue to 
        hinder the growth of a free and independent news media in the 
        Republic of Serbia, in particular the broadcast news media, and 
        harassed journalists performing their professional duties.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the United States, the Organization for Security and 
        Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), and the international community 
        should continue to press the Government of the Republic of 
        Serbia to ensure the implementation of free, fair, and honest 
        presidential and parliamentary elections in 1997, and to fully 
        abide by their outcome;
            (2) the United States, the OSCE, the international 
        community, nongovernmental organizations, and the private 
        sector should continue to promote the building of democratic 
        institutions and civic society in the Republic of Serbia, help 
        strengthen the independent news media, and press for the 
        Government of the Republic of Serbia to respect the rule of 
        law; and
            (3) the normalization of relations between the Federal 
        Republic of Yugoslavia and the United States requires, among 
        other things, that President Milosevic and the leadership of 
        Serbia--
                    (A) ensure the implementation of free, fair, and 
                honest presidential and parliamentary elections in 
                1997;
                    (B) abide by the outcome of such elections; and
                    (C) promote the building of democratic 
                institutions, including strengthening the independent 
                news media and respecting the rule of law.

SEC. 1715. RELATIONS WITH VIETNAM.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the development of a cooperative bilateral relationship 
        between the United States and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 
        should facilitate maximum progress toward resolving outstanding 
        POW/MIA issues, promote the protection of human rights 
        including universally recognized religious, political, and 
        other freedoms, contribute to regional stability, and encourage 
        continued development of mutually beneficial economic 
        relations;
            (2) the satisfactory resolution of United States concerns 
        with respect to outstanding POW/MIA, human rights, and refugee 
        issues is essential to the full normalization of relations 
        between the United States and Vietnam;
            (3) the United States should upgrade the priority afforded 
        to the ongoing bilateral human rights dialog between the United 
        States and Vietnam by requiring the Department of State to 
        schedule the next dialog with Vietnam, and all subsequent 
        dialogs, at a level no lower than that of Assistant Secretary 
        of State;
            (4) during any future negotiations regarding the provision 
        of Overseas Private Investment Corporation insurance to 
        American companies investing in Vietnam and the granting of 
        Generalized System of Preference status for Vietnam, the United 
        States Government should strictly hold the Government of 
        Vietnam to internationally recognized worker rights standards, 
        including the right of association, the right to organize and 
        bargain collectively, and the prohibition on the use of any 
        forced or compulsory labor; and
            (5) the Department of State should consult with other 
        governments to develop a coordinated multilateral strategy to 
        encourage Vietnam to invite the United Nations Special 
        Rapporteur on Religious Intolerance to visit Vietnam to carry 
        out inquiries and make recommendations.
    (b) Report to Congress.--In order to provide Congress with the 
necessary information by which to evaluate the relationship between the 
United States and Vietnam, the Secretary shall report to the 
appropriate congressional committees, not later than 90 days after the 
enactment of this Act and every 180 days thereafter during fiscal years 
1998 and 1999, on the extent to which--
            (1) the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is 
        cooperating with the United States in providing the fullest 
        possible accounting of all unresolved POW/MIA cases and the 
        recovery and repatriation of American remains;
            (2) the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam has 
        made progress toward the release of all political and religious 
        prisoners, including but not limited to Catholic, Protestant, 
        and Buddhist clergy;
            (3) the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is 
        cooperating with requests by the United States to obtain full 
        and free access to persons of humanitarian interest to the 
        United States for interviews under the Orderly Departure (ODP) 
        and Resettlement Opportunities for Vietnamese Refugees (ROVR) 
        programs, and in providing exit visas for such persons;
            (4) the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam has 
        taken vigorous action to end extortion, bribery, and other 
        corrupt practices in connection with such exit visas; and
            (5) the Government of the United States is making vigorous 
        efforts to interview and resettle former reeducation camp 
        victims, their immediate families including, but not limited 
        to, unmarried sons and daughters, former United States 
        Government employees, and other persons eligible for the ODP 
        program, and to give such persons the full benefit of all 
        applicable United States laws including, but not limited to, 
        sections 599D and 599E of the Foreign Operations, Export 
        Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act of 1990 
        (Public Law 101-167).

SEC. 1716. STATEMENT CONCERNING RETURN OF OR COMPENSATION FOR WRONGLY 
              CONFISCATED FOREIGN PROPERTIES.

    The Congress--
            (1) welcomes the efforts of many post-Communist countries 
        to address the complex and difficult question of the status of 
        plundered properties;
            (2) urges countries which have not already done so to 
        return plundered properties to their rightful owners or, as an 
        alternative, pay compensation, in accordance with principles of 
        justice and in a manner that is just, transparent, and fair;
            (3) calls for the urgent return of property formerly 
        belonging to Jewish communities as a means of redressing the 
        particularly compelling problems of aging and destitute 
        survivors of the Holocaust;
            (4) calls on the Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, 
        Romania, Slovakia, and any other country with restrictions 
        which require those whose properties have been wrongly 
        plundered by Nazi or Communist regimes to reside in or have the 
        citizenship of the country from which they now seek restitution 
        or compensation to remove such restrictions from their 
        restitution or compensation laws;
            (5) calls upon foreign financial institutions, and the 
        states having legal authority over their operation, that 
        possess wrongfully and illegally obtained property confiscated 
        from Holocaust victims, from residents of former Warsaw Pact 
        states who were forbidden by Communist law from obtaining 
        restitution of such property, and from states that were 
        occupied by Nazi, Fascist, or Communist forces, to assist and 
        to cooperate fully with efforts to restore this property to its 
        rightful owners; and
            (6) urges post-Communist countries to pass and effectively 
        implement laws that provide for restitution of, or compensation 
        for, plundered property.
                                 <all>
