Act, none of the funds provided for ``International Organizations and 
Programs'' shall be available for the United States proportionate 
share, in accordance with section 307(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act

               economic support fund assistance for israel

    Sec. 517. The Congress finds that progress on the peace process in 
the Middle East is vitally important to United States security 
interests in the region. The Congress recognizes that, in fulfilling 
its obligations under the Treaty of Peace Between the Arab Republic of 
Egypt and the State of Israel, done at Washington on March 26, 1979, 
Israel incurred severe economic burdens. Furthermore, the Congress 
recognizes that an economically and militarily secure Israel serves the 
security interests of the United States, for a secure Israel is an 
Israel which has the incentive and confidence to continue pursuing the 
peace process. Therefore, the Congress declares that, subject to the 
availability of appropriations, it is the policy and the intention of 
the United States that the funds provided in annual appropriations for 
the Economic Support Fund which are allocated to Israel shall not be 
less than the annual debt repayment (interest and principal) from 
Israel to the United States Government in recognition that such a 
principle serves United States interests in the region.

made available to carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
1961, as amended, may be used to pay for the performance of involuntary 
sterilization as a method of family planning or to coerce or provide 
any financial incentive to any person to undergo sterilizations. None 
of the funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to pay for any 
biomedical research which relates in whole or in part, to methods of, 
or the performance of, abortions or involuntary sterilization as a 
means of family planning. None of the funds made available to carry out 
part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be 
obligated or expended for any country or organization if the President 
certifies that the use of these funds by any such country or 
organization would violate any of the above provisions related to 
abortions and involuntary sterilizations: Provided, That none of the 
funds made available under this Act may be used to lobby for or against 
abortion.

and control of acquired immune deficiency syndrome in developing

available for child survival activities or activities relating to 
research on, and the treatment and control of, acquired immune 
deficiency syndrome may be made available notwithstanding any provision 
of law that restricts assistance to foreign countries: Provided 
further, That funds appropriated by this Act that are made available 
for family planning activities may be made available notwithstanding 
section 512 of this Act and section 620(q) of the Foreign Assistance 
Act of 1961.


        PROHIBITION AGAINST INDIRECT FUNDING TO CERTAIN COUNTRIES

    Sec. 527. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, funds 
appropriated for bilateral assistance under any heading of this Act and

                       Caucasus and Central Asia

    Sec. 578. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The ancient Silk Road, once the economic lifeline of 
    Central Asia and the South Caucasus, traversed much of the 
    territory now within the countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, 
    Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
        (2) Economic interdependence spurred mutual cooperation among 
    the peoples along the Silk Road and restoration of the historic 
    relationships and economic ties between those peoples is an 
    important element of ensuring their sovereignty as well as the 
    success of democratic and market reforms.
        (3) The development of strong political and economic ties 
    between countries of the South Caucasus and Central Asia and the 
    West will foster stability in the region.
        (4) The development of open market economies and open 
    democratic systems in the countries of the South Caucasus and 
    Central Asia will provide positive incentives for international 
    private investment, increased trade, and other forms of commercial 
    interactions with the rest of the world.
        (5) The Caspian Sea Basin, overlapping the territory of the 
    countries of the South Caucasus and Central Asia, contains proven 
    oil and gas reserves that may exceed $4,000,000,000,000 in value.
        (6) The region of the South Caucasus and Central Asia will 
    produce oil and gas in sufficient quantities to reduce the 
    dependence of the United States on energy from the volatile Persian 
    Gulf region.
        (7) United States foreign policy and international assistance 
    should be narrowly targeted to support the economic and political 
    independence of the countries of the South Caucasus and Central 
    Asia.
    (b) General.--The policy of the United States in the countries of 
the South Caucasus and Central Asia should be--
        (1) to promote sovereignty and independence with democratic 
    government;
        (2) to assist actively in the resolution of regional conflicts;
        (3) to promote friendly relations and economic cooperation;
        (4) to help promote market-oriented principles and practices;
        (5) to assist in the development of infrastructure necessary 
    for communications, transportation, and energy and trade on an 
    East-West axis in order to build strong international relations and 
    commerce between those countries and the stable, democratic, and 
    market-oriented countries of the Euro-Atlantic Community; and
        (6) to support United States business interests and investments 
    in the region.
