                         clean coal technology

    Sec. 579. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The United States is the world leader in the 
        development of environmental technologies, particularly clean 
        coal technology.
            (2) Severe pollution problems affecting people in 
        developing countries, and the serious health problems that 
        result from such pollution, can be effectively addressed 
        through the application of United States technology.
            (3) During the next century, developing countries, 
        particularly countries in Asia such as China and India, will 
        dramatically increase their consumption of electricity, and low 
        quality coal will be a major source of fuel for power 
        generation.
            (4) Without the use of modern clean coal technology, the 
        resultant pollution will cause enormous health and 
        environmental problems leading to diminished economic growth in 
        developing countries and, thus, diminished United States 
        exports to those growing markets.
    (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to 
promote the export of United States clean coal technology. In 
furtherance of that policy, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of 
the Treasury (acting through the United States executive directors to 
international financial institutions), the Secretary of Energy, and the 
Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development 
(USAID) should, as appropriate, vigorously promote the use of United 
States clean coal technology in environmental and energy infrastructure 
programs, projects and activities. Programs, projects and activities 
for which the use of such technology should be considered include 
reconstruction assistance for the Balkans, activities carried out by 
the Global Environmental Facility, and activities funded from USAID's 
Development Credit Authority.

 sense of congress on management of united states interests in ukraine

    Sec. 580. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Ukraine is a major European nation as it has the second 
        largest territory and sixth largest population of all the 
        States of Europe.
            (2) Ukraine has important geopolitical and economic roles 
        to play within Central and Eastern Europe.
            (3) A strong, stable, and secure Ukraine serves the 
        interests of peace and stability in all of Europe, which are 
        important national security interests of the United States.
            (4) Ukraine is a member State of the Council of Europe, the 
        Organization on Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Central 
        European Initiative, and the Euro-Atlantic Partnership 
        Conference, is a participant in the Partnership for Peace 
        program of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and has 
        entered into a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement with the 
        European Union.
            (5) The Government of Ukraine has clearly articulated its 
        country's aspirations to become fully integrated into European 
        and transatlantic institutions, and, in pursuit of the 
        attainment of that aspiration, the government of Ukraine has 
        requested associate membership in the European Union with the 
        intent of eventually becoming a full member of the European 
        Union.
            (6) It is the policy of the United States to support the 
        aspiration of Ukraine to assume its rightful place among the 
        European and transatlantic community of democratic States and 
        in European and transatlantic institutions.
            (7) In the United States Government, the responsibility for 
        management of United States interests in Ukraine would be most 
        effectively performed by the officials who perform the 
        responsibility for management of United States interests in 
        Europe, and a designation of those officials to do so would 
        strongly underscore and most effectively support attainment of 
        the United States objective to build a Europe whole and free.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of State should designate the Assistant Secretary of State 
for European Affairs to perform, through the Bureau of European Affairs 
of the Department of State, the responsibilities of the Department of 
State for the management of United States interests in Ukraine.

        countries is significantly more expensive, including the cost 
        of transportation, than the cost from other sources; or
            (2) the President determines that the application of

          sense of the senate on the citizens democracy corps

    Sec. 585. It is the sense of the Senate that with regard to 
promoting economic development and open, democratic countries in the 
former Soviet Union and Central Eastern Europe, the Committee commends 
the work of the Citizens Democracy Corps (CDC), which utilizes senior-
level United States business volunteers to assist enterprises, 
institutions, and local governments abroad. Their work demonstrates the 
significant impact that United States Agency for International 
Development (USAID) support of a United States nongovernmental 
organization (NGO) program can have on the key United States foreign 
policy priorities of promoting broad-based, stable economic growth and 
open, market-oriented economies in transitioning economies. By drawing 
upon the skills and voluntary spirit of United States businessmen and 
women to introduce companies, CDC furthers the goals of the Freedom of 
Support Act (NIS) and Support for Eastern European Democracy (SEED), 
forging positive, lasting connections between the United States and 
these countries. The Committee endorses CDC's very cost-effective 
programs and believes they should be supported and expanded not only in 
the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, but in transitioning and 
developing economies throughout the world.

                    (C) The development of independent media.
                    (D) The development of the rule of law, a strong, 
                independent judiciary, and transparency in political

                    (E) International exchanges and advanced 
                professional training programs in skill areas central

                    (H) The development of a free-market economy.
            (4) Authorization of appropriations.--
                    (A) In general.--There is authorized to be 
                appropriated to the President $100,000,000 for the

Montenegro is committed to, and is taking steps to promote, democratic 
principles, the rule of law, and respect for internationally recognized 
human rights.

    control and eliminate the international problem of tuberculosis

    Sec. 588. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that:
            (1) Since the development of antibiotics in the 1950's, 
        tuberculosis has been largely controlled in the United States 
        and the Western World.
            (2) Due to societal factors, including growing urban decay, 
        inadequate health care systems, persistent poverty, 
        overcrowding, and malnutrition, as well as medical factors, 
        including the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the emergence of multi-drug 
        resistant strains of tuberculosis, tuberculosis has again 
        become a leading and growing cause of adult deaths in the 
        developing world.
            (3) According to the World Health Organization--
                    (A) in 1998, about 1,860,000 people worldwide died 
                of tuberculosis-related illnesses;
                    (B) one-third of the world's total population is 
                infected with tuberculosis; and
                    (C) tuberculosis is the world's leading killer of 
                women between 15 and 44 years old and is a leading 
                cause of children becoming orphans.
            (4) Because of the ease of transmission of tuberculosis, 
        its international persistence and growth pose a direct public 
        health threat to those nations that had previously largely 
        controlled the disease. This is complicated in the United 
        States by the growth of the homeless population, the rate of 
        incarceration, international travel, immigration, and HIV/AIDS.
            (5) With nearly 40 percent of the tuberculosis cases in the 
        United States attributable to foreign-born persons, 
        tuberculosis will never be eliminated in the United States 
        until it is controlled abroad.
            (6) The means exist to control tuberculosis through 
        screening, diagnosis, treatment, patient compliance, 
        monitoring, and ongoing review of outcomes.
            (7) Efforts to control tuberculosis are complicated by 
        several barriers, including--
                    (A) the labor intensive and lengthy process 
                involved in screening, detecting, and treating the 
                disease;
                    (B) a lack of funding, trained personnel, and 
                medicine in virtually every nation with a high rate of 
                the disease; and
                    (C) the unique circumstances in each country, which 
                requires the development and implementation of country-
                specific programs.
            (8) Eliminating the barriers to the international control 
        of tuberculosis through a well-structured, comprehensive, and 
        coordinated worldwide effort would be a significant step in 
        dealing with the increasing public health problem posed by the 
        disease.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that if the 
total allocation for this Act is higher than the level passed by the 
Senate, a top priority for the additional funds should be to increase 
the funding to combat infectious diseases, especially tuberculosis.

           to promote an international arms transfers regime

    Sec. 589. (a) Efforts.--The President shall continue and expand 
efforts through the United Nations and other international fora, 
including the Wassenaar Arrangement, to limit arms transfers worldwide. 
The President shall take the necessary steps to begin multilateral 
negotiations within 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, for the purpose of establishing a permanent multilateral regime to 
govern the transfer of conventional arms, particularly transfers to 
countries--
            (1) that engage in persistent violations of human rights, 
        engage in acts of armed aggression in violation of 
        international law, and do not fully participate in the United 
        Nations Register of Conventional Arms; and
            (2) in regions in which arms transfers would exacerbate 
        regional arms races or international tensions that present a 
        danger to international peace and stability.
    (b) Report to Congress.--Not later than 6 months after the 
commencement of the negotiations under subsection (a), and not later 
than the end of every 6-month period thereafter until an agreement 
described in subsection (a) is concluded, the President shall report to 
the appropriate committees of the Congress on the progress made during 
these negotiations.

                  expanded threat reduction initiative

    Sec. 590. It is the sense of the Senate that the programs contained 
in the Expanded Threat Reduction Initiative are vital to the national 
security of the United States and that funding for those programs 
should be restored in conference to the levels requested in the 
President's budget.

   sense of the senate regarding united states commitments under the 
              united states-north korean agreed framework

    Sec. 591. It is the sense of the Senate that, as long as North 
Korea meets its obligations under the United States-North Korean 
Nuclear Agreed Framework of 1994, the United States should meet its 
commitments under the Agreed Framework, including required deliveries 
of heavy fuel oil to North Korea and support of the Korean Peninsula 
Energy Development Organization (KEDO).

                  expanded threat reduction initiative

    Sec. 592. The Senate finds that:
            (1) The proposed programs under the Expanded Threat 
        Reduction Initiative (ETRI) are critical and essential to 
        preserving United States national security.
            (2) The Department of State programs under the ETRI be 
        funded at or near the full request of $250,000,000 in the 
        Foreign Operations Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2000 
        prior to final passage.

   sense of the senate regarding an international conference on the 
                                balkans.

    Sec. 593. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States and its allies in the North Atlantic 
        Treaty Organization (NATO) conducted large-scale military 
        operations against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
            (2) At the conclusion of 78 days of these hostilities, the 
        United States and its NATO allies suspended military operations 
        against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia based upon credible 
        assurances by the latter that it would fulfill the following 
        conditions as laid down by the so called Group of Eight (G-8):
                    (A) An immediate and verifiable end of violence and 
                repression in Kosova.
                    (B) Staged withdrawal of all Yugoslav military, 
                police, and paramilitary forces from Kosova.
                    (C) Deployment in Kosova of effective international 
                and security presences, endorsed and adopted by the 
                United Nations Security Council, and capable of 
                guaranteeing the achievement of the agreed objectives.
                    (D) Establishment of an interim administration for 
                Kosova, to be decided by the United Nations Security 
                Council which will seek to ensure conditions for a 
                peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants in Kosova.
                    (E) Provision for the safe and free return of all 
                refugees and displaced persons from Kosova and an 
                unimpeded access to Kosova by humanitarian aid 
                organizations.
            (3) These objectives appear to have been fulfilled, or to 
        be in the process of being fulfilled, which has led the United 
        States and its NATO allies to terminate military operations 
        against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
            (4) The G-8 also called for a comprehensive approach to the 
        economic development and stabilization of the crisis region, 
        and the European Union has announced plans for $1,500,000,000 
        over the next 3 years for the reconstruction of Kosova, for the 
        convening in July of an international donors' conference for 
        Kosova aid, and for subsequent provision of reconstruction aid 
        to the other countries in the region affected by the recent 
        hostilities followed by reconstruction aid directed at the 
        Balkans region as a whole.
            (5) The United States and some of its NATO allies oppose 
        the provision of any aid, other than limited humanitarian 
        assistance, to Serbia until Yugoslav President Slobodan 
        Milosevic is out of office.
            (6) The policy of providing reconstruction aid to Kosova 
        and other countries in the region affected by the recent 
        hostilities while withholding such aid for Serbia presents a 
        number of practical problems, including the absence in Kosova 
        of financial and other institutions independent of Yugoslavia, 
        the difficulty in drawing clear and enforceable distinctions 
        between humanitarian and reconstruction assistance, and the 
        difficulty in reconstructing Montenegro in the absence of 
        similar efforts in Serbia.
            (7) In any case, the achievement of effective and durable 
        economic reconstruction and revitalization in the countries of 
        the Balkans is unlikely until a political settlement is reached 
        as to the final status of Kosova and Yugoslavia.
            (8) The G-8 proposed a political process towards the 
        establishment of an interim political framework agreement for a 
        substantial self-government for Kosova, taking into full 
        account the final Interim Agreement for Peace and Self-
        Government in Kosova, also known as the Rambouillet Accords, 
        and the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of 
        the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the other countries of 
        the region, and the demilitarization of the UCK (Kosova 
        Liberation Army).
            (9) The G-8 proposal contains no guidance as to a final 
        political settlement for Kosova and Yugoslavia, while the 
        original position of the United States and the other 
        participants in the so-called Contact Group on this matter, as 
        reflected in the Rambouillet Accords, called for the convening 
        of an international conference, after 3 years, to determine a 
        mechanism for a final settlement of Kosova status based on the 
        will of the people, opinions of relevant authorities, each 
        Party's efforts regarding the implementation of the agreement 
        and the provisions of the Helsinki Final Act.
            (10) The current position of the United States and its NATO 
        allies as to the final status of Kosova and Yugoslavia calls 
        for an autonomous, multiethnic, democratic Kosova which would 
        remain as part of Serbia, and such an outcome is not supported 
        by any of the Parties directly involved, including the 
        governments of Yugoslavia and Serbia, representatives of the 
        Kosovar Albanians, and the people of Yugoslavia, Serbia and 
        Kosova.
            (11) There has been no final political settlement in 
        Bosnia-Herzegovina, where the Armed Forces of the United 
        States, its NATO allies, and other non-Balkan nations have been 
        enforcing an uneasy peace since 1996, at a cost to the United 
        States alone of over $10,000,000,000, with no clear end in 
        sight to such enforcement.
            (12) The trend throughout the Balkans since 1990 has been 
        in the direction of ethnically based particularism, as 
        exemplified by the 1991 declarations of independence from 
        Yugoslavia by Slovenia and Croatia, and the country in the 
        Balkans which currently comes the closest to the goal of a 
        democratic government which respects the human rights of its 
        citizens is the nation of Slovenia, which was the first portion 
        of the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to secede and is 
        also the nation in the region with the greatest ethnic 
        homogeneity, with a population which is 91 percent Slovene.
            (13) The boundaries of the various national and sub-
        national divisions in the Balkans have been altered repeatedly 
        throughout history, and international conferences have 
        frequently played the decisive role in fixing such boundaries 
        in the modern era, including the Berlin Congress of 1878, the 
        London Conference of 1913, and the Paris Peace Conference of 
        1919.
            (14) The development of an effective exit strategy for the 
        withdrawal from the Balkans of foreign military forces, 
        including the armed forces of the United States, its NATO 
        allies, Russia, and any other nation from outside the Balkans 
        which has such forces in the Balkans is in the best interests 
        of all such nations.
            (15) The ultimate withdrawal of foreign military forces, 
        accompanied by the establishment of durable and peaceful 
        relations among all of the nations and peoples of the Balkans 
        is in the best interests of those nations and peoples.
            (16) An effective exit strategy for the withdrawal from the 
        Balkans of foreign military forces is contingent upon the 
        achievement of a lasting political settlement for the region, 
        and that only such a settlement, acceptable to all parties 
        involved, can ensure the fundamental goals of the United States 
        of peace, stability, and human rights in the Balkans;
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the United States should call immediately for the 
        convening of an international conference on the Balkans, under 
        the auspices of the United Nations, and based upon the 
        principles of the Rambouillet Accords for a final settlement of 
        Kosova status, namely that such a settlement should be based on 
        the will of the people, opinions of relevant authorities, each 
        Party's efforts regarding the implementation of the agreement 
        and the provisions of the Helsinki Final Act;
            (2) the international conference on the Balkans should also 
        be empowered to seek a final settlement for Bosnia-Herzegovina 
        based on the same principles as specified for Kosova in the 
        Rambouillet Accords; and
            (3) in order to produce a lasting political settlement in 
        the Balkans acceptable to all parties, which can lead to the 
        departure from the Balkans in timely fashion of all foreign 
        military forces, including those of the United States, the 
        international conference should have the authority to consider 
        any and all of the following: political boundaries; 
        humanitarian and reconstruction assistance for all nations in 
        the Balkans; stationing of United Nations peacekeeping forces 
        along international boundaries; security arrangements and 
        guarantees for all of the nations of the Balkans; and tangible, 
        enforceable and verifiable human rights guarantees for the 
        individuals and peoples of the Balkans.

                 sense of the senate regarding colombia

    Sec. 597. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Colombia is a democratic country fighting multiple 
        wars--
                    (A) a war against the Colombian Revolutionary Armed 
                Forces (FARC);
                    (B) a war against the National Liberation Army 
                (ELN);
                    (C) a war against paramilitary organizations; and
                    (D) a war against drug lords who traffic in deadly 
                cocaine and heroin.
            (2) Colombia is the world's third most dangerous country in 
        terms of political violence with 34 percent of world terrorist 
        acts committed there.
            (3) Colombia is the world's kidnaping capital of the world 
        with 2,609 kidnapings reported in 1998 and 513 reported in the 
        first three months of 1999.
            (4) In 1998 alone, 308,000 Colombians were internally 
        displaced in Colombia. Over the last decade, 35,000 Colombians 
        have been killed.
            (5) The FARC and ELN are the two main guerrilla groups 
        which have waged the longest-running antigovernment insurgency 
        in Latin America.
            (6) The Colombian rebels have a combined strength of 10,000 
        to 20,000 full-time guerrillas; they have initiated armed 
        action in nearly 700 of the country's 1073 municipalities, and 
        control or influence roughly 60 percent of rural Colombia 
        including a demilitarized zone using their armed stranglehold 
        to abuse Colombian citizens.
            (7) Although the Colombian Army has 122,000 soldiers, there 
        are roughly only 20,000 soldiers available for offensive combat 
        operations.
            (8) Colombia faces the threat of the armed paramilitaries, 
        5,000 strong, who are constantly driving a wedge in the peace 
        process by their insistence in participating in the peace 
        talks.
            (9) More than 75 percent of the world's cocaine HCL and 75 
        percent of the heroin seized in the northeast United States is 
        of Colombian origin.
            (10) The conflicts in Colombia are creating spillovers to 
        the border countries of Venezuela, Panama and Ecuador: 
        Venezuela has sent 30,000 troops to its border and Ecuador is 
        sending 10,000 troops to its border.
            (11) Venezuela is our number one supplier of oil.
            (12) By the end of 1999, all United States military troops 
        will have departed from Panama, leaving the Panama Canal 
        unprotected.
            (13) In 1998, two-way trade between the United States and 
        Colombia was more than $11,000,000,000, making the United 
        States Colombia's number one trading partner and Colombia the 
        fifth largest market for United States exports in the region.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the United States should recognize the crisis in 
        Colombia and play a more proactive role in its resolution;
            (2) the United States should mobilize the international 
        community to proactively engage in resolving Colombian wars; 
        and
            (3) the United States should pledge our political support 
        to help Colombia with the peace process.

                    accountability of saddam hussein

    Sec. 598. It is the sense of the Senate that the President and the 
Secretary of State should--
            (1) raise the need for accountability of Saddam Hussein and 
        several key members of his regime at the International Criminal 
        Court Preparatory Commission, which will meet in New York on 
        July 26, 1999, through August 13, 1999;
            (2) continue to push for the creation of a commission under 
        the auspices of the United Nations to establish an 
        international record of the criminal culpability of Saddam 
        Hussein and other Iraqi officials;
            (3) continue to push for the United Nations to form an 
        international criminal tribunal for the purpose of indicting, 
        prosecuting, and imprisoning Saddam Hussein and any other Iraqi 
        officials who may be found responsible for crimes against 
        humanity, genocide, and other violations of international 
        humanitarian law; and
            (4) upon the creation of a commission and international 
        criminal tribunal, take steps necessary, including the 
        reprogramming of funds, to ensure United States support for 
        efforts to bring Saddam Hussein and other Iraqi officials to 
        justice.

sense of the senate regarding assistance provided to lithuania, latvia, 
                              and estonia

    Sec. 599. It is the sense of the Senate that nothing in this Act, 
or Senate Report Number 106-81, relating to assistance provided to 
Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia under the Foreign Military Financing 
Program, should be interpreted as expressing the will of the Senate to 
accelerate membership of those nations into the North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization (NATO).

articles and services to be made available to Taiwan.

 sense of the senate regarding assistance under the camp david accords.

    Sec. 599B. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) Egypt and Israel together negotiated the Camp David 
        Accords, an historic breakthrough in beginning the process of 
        bringing peace to the Middle East.
            (2) As part of the Camp David Accords, a concept was 
        reached regarding the ratio of United States foreign assistance 
        between Egypt and Israel, a formula which has been followed 
        since the signing of the Accords.
            (3) The United States is reducing economic assistance to 
        Egypt and Israel, with the agreement of those nations.
            (4) The United States is committed to maintaining 
        proportionality between Egypt and Israel in United States 
        foreign assistance programs.
            (5) Egypt has consistently fulfilled an historic role of 
        peacemaker in the context of the Arab-Israeli disputes.
            (6) The recent elections in Israel offer fresh hope of 
        resolving the remaining issues of dispute in the region.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
United States should provide Egypt access to an interest bearing 
account as part of the United States foreign assistance program 
pursuant to the principles of proportionality which underlie the Camp 
David Accords.

                             authorizations
