    (a) Cancellation of Debt.--Subject to the availability of amounts 
provided in advance in appropriations Acts, the President shall cancel 
all amounts owed to the United States (or any agency of the United

    (c) Other Debt Reduction Authorities.--The authority provided in 
this section is in addition to any other debt relief authority and does 
not in any way limit such authority.
    (d) Eligible Countries.--A country that is performing 
satisfactorily under an economic reform program shall be eligible for 
cancellation of debt under this section if--
            (1) the country, as of December 31, 2000, is eligible to 
        borrow from the International Development Association;
            (2) the country, as of December 31, 2000, is not eligible

        the exports of the country for the period 1994 through 1996; or
            (B)(i) the country has outstanding public and publicly

        annual fiscal revenues of the country, and has minimum ratios 
        of exports to Gross Domestic Product of 30 percent, and of 
        fiscal revenues to Gross Domestic Product of 15 percent.

seek to leverage scarce foreign assistance and give priority to heavily 
indebted poor countries with demonstrated need and the capacity to use 
such relief effectively.
    (f) Exceptions.--A country shall not be eligible for cancellation 
of debt under this section if the government of the country--
            (1) has an excessive level of military expenditures;

        international terrorism, as determined by the Secretary of

        engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of 
        internationally recognized human rights.
    (g) Additional Requirement.--A country which is otherwise eligible 
to receive cancellation of debt under this section may receive such 
cancellation only if the country has committed, in connection with a 
social and economic reform program--
            (1) to enable, facilitate, or encourage the implementation 
        of policy changes and institutional reforms under economic 
        reform programs, in a manner that ensures that such policy 
        changes and institutional reforms are designed and adopted 
        through transparent and participatory processes;
            (2) to adopt an integrated development strategy of the type 
        described in section 1624(a) of the International Financial 
        Institutions Act, to support poverty reduction through economic 
        growth, that includes monitorable poverty reduction goals;
            (3) to take steps so that the financial benefits of debt 
        relief are applied to programs to combat poverty (in particular 
        through concrete measures to improve economic infrastructure, 
        basic services in education, nutrition, and health, 
        particularly treatment and prevention of the leading causes of 
        mortality) and to redress environmental degradation;
            (4) to take steps to strengthen and expand the private 
        sector, encourage increased trade and investment, support the 
        development of free markets, and promote broad-scale economic 
        growth;

        procedures, good governance, and effective anticorruption 
        measures;

        understanding of the principles and goals of poverty reduction, 
        particularly through economic growth, and good governance; and
            (7) to promote the participation of citizens and 
        nongovernmental organizations in the economic policy choices of 
        the government.
    (h) Certain Prohibitions Inapplicable.--Except as the President may 
otherwise determine for reasons of national security, a cancellation of 
debt under this section shall not be considered to be assistance for 
purposes of any provision of law limiting assistance to a country. The 
authority to provide for cancellation of debt under this section may be 
exercised notwithstanding section 620(r) of the Foreign Assistance Act 
of 1961, or any similar provision of law.
    (i) Authorization of Appropriations.--For the cost (as defined in 
section 502(5) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990) of the 
cancellation of any debt under this section, there are authorized to be 
appropriated to the President such sums as may be necessary for each of 
the fiscal years 2000 through 2004, which shall remain available until 
expended.

and a detailed description of debt relief provided by the United States 
as a member of the Paris Club of Official Creditors for the prior 
fiscal year.

                members of such gold to satisfy existing repurchase 
                obligations of such member or members so that the Fund 
                retains ownership of the gold at the conclusion of such 
                payment;
                    ``(C) uses the earnings on the investment of the

                only for the purpose of providing debt relief from the 
                Fund under the modified Heavily Indebted Poor Countries 
                (HIPC) Initiative (as defined in section 1623 of the 
                International Financial Institutions Act); and
                    ``(D) shall not use more than \9/14\ of the 
                earnings on the investment of the profits of such 
                sales; and
            ``(2) to support a decision that shall terminate the 
        Special Contingency Account 2 (SCA-2) of the Fund so that the 
        funds in the SCA-2 shall be made available to the poorest 
        countries. Any funds attributable to the United States 
        participation in SCA-2 shall be used only for debt relief from

Monetary Fund for the purpose of making loans.
