Subtitle C--Global Democracy Promotion Act of 2001
SEC. 131. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``Global Democracy Promotion Act of
2001''.
SEC. 132. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) It is a fundamental principle of American medical
ethics and practice that health care providers should, at all
times, deal honestly and openly with patients. Any attempt to
subvert the private and sensitive physician-patient
relationship would be intolerable in the United States and is
an unjustifiable intrusion into the practices of health care
providers when attempted in other countries.
(2) Freedom of speech is a fundamental American value. The
ability to exercise the right to free speech, which includes
the ``right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the government for a redress of grievances'' is
essential to a thriving democracy and is protected under the
United States Constitution.
(3) The promotion of democracy is a principal goal of
United States foreign policy and critical to achieving
sustainable development. It is enhanced through the
encouragement of democratic institutions and the promotion of
an independent and politically active civil society in
developing countries.
(4) Limiting eligibility for United States development and
humanitarian assistance upon the willingness of a foreign
nongovernmental organization to forgo its right to use its own
funds to address, within the democratic process, a particular
issue affecting the citizens of its own country directly
undermines a key goal of United States foreign policy and would
violate the United States Constitution if applied to United
States-based organizations.
(5) Similarly, limiting the eligibility for United States
assistance on a foreign nongovernmental organization's
willingness to forgo its right to provide, with its own funds,
medical services that are legal in its own country and would be
legal if provided in the United States constitutes
unjustifiable interference with the ability of independent
organizations to serve the critical health needs of their
fellow citizens and demonstrates a disregard and disrespect for
the laws of sovereign nations as well as for the laws of the
United States.
SEC. 133. ASSISTANCE FOR FOREIGN NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS UNDER
PART I OF THE FOREIGN ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1961.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, regulation, or policy,
in determining eligibility for assistance authorized under part I of
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151 et seq.), foreign
nongovernmental organizations--
(1) shall not be ineligible for such assistance solely on
the basis of health or medical services including counseling
and referral services, provided by such organizations with non-
United States Government funds if such services do not violate
the laws of the country in which they are being provided and
would not violate United States Federal law if provided in the
United States; and
(2) shall not be subject to requirements relating to the
use of non-United States Government funds for advocacy and
lobbying activities other than those that apply to United
States nongovernmental organizations receiving assistance under part I
of such Act.

SEC. 211. REPORT CONCERNING THE EFFECT OF PLAN COLOMBIA ON ECUADOR.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) There is a growing alarm concerning the spillover
effect of Plan Colombia on Ecuador, a frontline state. The
northern region of Ecuador, including the Sucumbios province,
is an area of particular concern. It faces the Colombian
Putumayo zone, where there is no presence of military or law
enforcement personnel.
(2) Activities relating to the implementation of Plan
Colombia have resulted in incursions on Ecuadorian territory by
drug traffickers and guerrilla and paramilitary groups from
Colombia and a concomitant increase in the levels of violence
and delinquency. Recent kidnappings of American and other
foreign nationals, as well as discoveries of clandestine
cocaine laboratories, are especially troublesome.
(3) Ecuador is receiving an influx of Colombian refugees
and its own indigenous communities have been displaced from
their ancestral villages.
(4) Ecuador has demonstrated its moral and political
commitment in the fight against drugs. The agreement signed in
November 1999 with the United States to establish a forward
operating location in Manta is a clear sign of this active
stance.
(5) Ecuador is implementing a comprehensive program aimed
at reinforcing its security mechanisms in the northern border,
as well as converting the area into a buffer zone of peace and
development.
(b) Report to Congress.--Not later than 60 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, through the Bureau of
International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, shall submit to Congress a
report which outlines a comprehensive strategy to address the spillover
effect of Plan Colombia on Ecuador.

diplomatic relations with Israel and another 4 countries have
only limited relations.
(3) The government of Israel has been actively seeking to
establish formal relations with a number of countries.
(4) The United States should assist its ally, Israel, in
its efforts to establish diplomatic relations.
(5) After 52 years of existence, Israel deserves to be
treated as an equal nation by its neighbors and the world
community.

to encourage other countries to establish full diplomatic
relations with Israel.
(2) Specific responses solicited and received by the
Secretary of State from countries that do not maintain full
diplomatic relations with Israel with respect to the status of
negotiations to enter into diplomatic relations with Israel.

be undertaken, by the United States to ensure and promote

from the applicant and the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

overseas processing of refugees for admission to the United States.
(b) Contents.--The report shall include the following detailed
information:
(1) United States procedures for the identification of
refugees who are particularly vulnerable or whose individual
circumstances otherwise suggest an urgent need for
resettlement, including the extent to which the Department now
insists on referral by the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees as a prerequisite to consideration of such refugees
for resettlement in the United States, together with a plan for
the expanded use of alternatives to such referral, including
the use of field-based nongovernmental organizations to
identify refugees in urgent need of resettlement.
(2) The extent to which the Department makes use in
overseas refugee processing of the designation of groups of
refugees who are of special concern to the United States,
together with the reasons for any decline in such use over the
last 10 years and a plan for making more generous use of such
categories in the future.
(3) The extent to which the United States currently
provides opportunities for resettlement in the United States of
individuals who are close family members of citizens or lawful
residents of the United States, together with the reasons for
any decline in the extent of such provision over the last 10
years and a plan for expansion of such opportunities in the
future.
(4) The extent to which opportunities for resettlement in
the United States are currently provided to ``urban refugees''
and others who do not currently reside in refugee camps,
together with a plan for increasing such opportunities,
particularly for refugees who are in urgent need of
resettlement, who are members of refugee groups of special
interest to the United States, or who are close family members
of United States citizens or lawful residents.
(5) The Department's assessment of the feasibility and
desirability of modifying the Department's current list of
refugee priorities to create an additional category for
refugees whose need for resettlement is based on a long period
of residence in a refugee camp with no immediate prospect of
safe and voluntary repatriation to their country of origin or
last permanent residence.
(6) The extent to which the Department uses private
voluntary agencies to assist in the identification of refugees
for admission to the United States, including the Department's
assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of private
voluntary agencies, the reasons for any decline in the

work with international public and private entities working to combat
the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
SEC. 733. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONDEMNING THE DESTRUCTION OF PRE-ISLAMIC
STATUES IN AFGHANISTAN BY THE TALIBAN REGIME.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Many of the oldest and most significant Buddhist
statues in the world are in Afghanistan, which, at the time
that many of the statues were carved, was one of the most
cosmopolitan regions in the world and hosted merchants,
travelers, and artists from China, India, central Asia, and the
Roman Empire.
(2) Such statues are part of the common heritage of
mankind, which must be preserved for future generations.
(3) On February 26, 2001, the leader of the Taliban regime,
Mullah Mohammad Omar, ordered the destruction of all pre-
Islamic statues in Afghanistan, among them a pair of 1,600-
year-old, 100-foot-tall statues of Buddha that are carved out
of a mountainside.
(4) The religion of Islam and Buddhist statues have
coexisted in Afghanistan as part of the unique historical and
cultural heritage of that nation for more than 1,100 years.
(5) The destruction of the pre-Islamic statues contradicts
the basic tenet of the Islamic religion that other religions
should be tolerated.
(6) People of all faiths and nationalities have condemned
the destruction of the statues in Afghanistan, including Muslim
communities around the world.
(7) The destruction of the statues violates the United
Nations Convention Concerning the Protection of the World
Cultural and Natural Heritage, which was ratified by
Afghanistan on March 20, 1979.
(b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress--
(1) joins with people and governments around the world in
condemning the destruction of pre-Islamic statues in
Afghanistan by the Taliban regime;
(2) urges the Taliban regime to stop destroying such
statues; and
(3) calls upon the Taliban regime to grant international
organizations immediate access to Afghanistan to survey the
damage and facilitate international efforts to preserve and
safeguard the remaining statues.
SEC. 734. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO RESOLUTION OF THE TAIWAN STRAIT
ISSUE.
It is the sense of the Congress that Taiwan is a mature democracy
that fully respects human rights and it is the policy of the United
States that any resolution of the Taiwan Strait issue must be peaceful
and include the assent of the people of Taiwan.
SEC. 735. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO ARSENIC CONTAMINATION IN
DRINKING WATER IN BANGLADESH.
(a) Findings.--In the early 1970s, the United Nations Children's
Fund (UNICEF) and the Bangladeshi Department of Public Health
Engineering, in an attempt to bring clean drinking water to the people
of Bangladesh, installed tube wells to access shallow aquifers. This
was done to provide an alternative to contaminated surface water
sources. However, at the time the wells were installed, arsenic was not
recognized as a problem in water supplies and standard water testing
procedures did not include arsenic tests. Naturally occurring inorganic
arsenic contamination of water in those tube-wells was confirmed in
1993 in the Nawabganj district in Bangladesh. The health effects of
ingesting arsenic-contaminated drinking water appear slowly. This makes
preventative measures, including drawing arsenic out of the existing
tube well and finding alternate sources of water, critical to
preventing future contamination in large numbers of the Bangladeshi
population. Health effects of exposure to arsenic in both adults and
children include skin lesions, skin cancer, and mortality from internal
cancers.
(b) Sense of Congress.--The Secretary of State should work with
appropriate United States Government agencies, national laboratories,
universities in the United States, the Government of Bangladesh,
international financial institutions and organizations, and
international donors to identify a long term solution to the arsenic-
contaminated drinking water problem.
(c) Report to Congress.--The Secretary of State should report to
the Congress on proposals to bring about arsenic-free drinking water to
Bangladeshis and to facilitate treatment for those who have already
been affected by arsenic-contaminated drinking water in Bangladesh.
SEC. 736. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO DISPLAY OF THE AMERICAN FLAG AT
THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE IN TAIWAN.
It is the sense of the Congress that the chancery of the American
Institute in Taiwan and the residence of the director of the American
Institute in Taiwan should publicly display the flag of the United
States in the same manner as United States embassies, consulates, and
official residences throughout the world.
SEC. 737. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN WEST
PAPUA AND ACEH, INCLUDING THE MURDER OF JAFAR SIDDIQ
HAMZAH, AND ESCALATING VIOLENCE IN MALUKU AND CENTRAL
KALIMANTAN.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Human rights violations by elements of the Indonesian
Government continue to worsen in West Papua (Irian Jaya) and
Aceh, while other areas including the Moluccas (Maluku) and
Central Kalimantan have experienced outbreaks of violence by
militia forces and other organized groups.
(2) Seven West Papuans were shot dead by Indonesian
security forces following a flag-raising ceremony in the town
of Merauke on December 2, 2000, and in a separate incident four
others were reportedly killed by Indonesian security forces
after a West Papuan flag was raised in Tiom on December 18,
2000.
(3) Indonesian police have attacked peaceful West Papuan
civilians, including students in their dormitories at
Cenderawasih University on December 6, 2000. This attack
resulted in the beating and arrests of some 100 students as
well as the deaths of three students, including one in police
custody in the capital city of Jayapura.
(4) To escape Indonesian security forces, hundreds of
peaceful West Papuans have sought safety in refugee camps
across the border in the neighboring state of Papua New Guinea
(PNG).
(5) The Indonesian armed forces have announced that they
are initiating ``limited military operations'' in Aceh, where
the Exxon-Mobil gas company has suspended operations due to
security concerns.
(6) On September 7, 2000, the body of Acehnese human rights
lawyer Jafar Siddiq Hamzah, who had been missing for a month,
was identified along with four other badly decomposed bodies,
whose faces were bashed in and whose hands and feet were bound
with barbed wire, in a forested area outside of Medan, in North
Sumatra.
(7) Hamzah, a permanent resident of the United States who
resided in Queens, New York, was last seen alive on August 5,
2000, in Medan, after which he failed to keep an appointment
and his family lost all contact with him.
(8) As the founder and director of the International Forum
on Aceh, which works for peace and human rights in Aceh, Hamzah
was an important voice of moderation and an internationally
known representative of his people who made irreplaceable
contributions to peace and respect for human rights in his homeland.
(9) The Indonesian government has failed to release the
results of Jafar Siddiq Hamzah's autopsy report, and the
inaccessibility of the report has delayed the investigation
which could lead to bringing the murderers to justice.
(10) There is supporting documentation from the United
States Department of State and other reliable sources that
Indonesian military and police forces have committed widespread
acts of torture, rape, disappearance and extra-judicial
executions against West Papuan and Acehnese civilians.
(11) In Maluku, where Muslim and Christian peoples lived in
peace and respected with each other for decades, thousands have
been killed and tens of thousands displaced during outbreaks of
violence over the past three years.
(12) Militia forces known as the Laskar Jihad have arrived
from Java and other islands outside Maluku to inflame hatred
and perpetrate violence against Christians, and to create
religious intolerance among the people of Maluku, and the
Laskar Jihad has been openly encouraged by some Indonesian
leaders including Amien Rais, Chair of the People's
Consultative Assembly.
(13) Muslim and Christian leaders alike have called for the
arrest of militia leaders in Maluku and asking for
international assistance in ending this devastating conflict.
(14) The most recent instance of widespread violence in
Indonesia has broken out on the island of Kalimantan (Borneo),
in the province of Central Kalimantan, where indigenous Dayaks
brutally attacked migrant Madurese, killing hundreds and
causing thousands of others to flee.
(15) The people of the island of Madura who were resettled
in Kalimantan under the auspices of the Soeharto government's
transmigration program, which served to strengthen the
political control of the regime, have become scapegoats for
official government policy, while the Dayaks have suffered from
this policy and from official exploitation of the natural
resources of their homeland.
(b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress--
(1) expresses its deep concern over ongoing human rights
violations committed by Indonesian military and police forces
against civilians in West Papua and Aceh, as well as over
violence by militias and others in Maluku, Central Kalimantan,
and elsewhere in Indonesia;
(2) calls upon the United States Department of State to
publicly protest the reemergence of political imprisonment in
Indonesia and to take necessary steps to release, immediately
and unconditionally, all political prisoners, including Rev.
Obed Komba, Rev. Yudas Meage, Yafet Yelemaken, Murjono Murib
and Amelia Yigibalom of West Papua, and Muhammad Nazar of Aceh,
all adopted by Amnesty International as Prisoners of
Conscience, and student demonstrators Matius Rumbrapuk, Laon
Wenda, Jenderal Achmad Yani, Joseph Wenda and Hans Gobay of
West Papua;
(3) calls upon the Department of State to support and
encourage the Government of Indonesia to engage in peaceful
dialogue with respected West Papuan community leaders and other
members of West Papuan civil society, as prescribed by the 1999
Terms of Reference for the National Dialogue on Irian Jaya, and
to urge the Governor of West Papua to create an environment
conducive to the peaceful repatriation of West Papuan refugees
and ``illegal border crossers'' who now reside in Papua New
Guinea;
(4) calls upon the United States Government to press the
Government of Indonesia to permit access to West Papua and
Aceh, including the project areas of the United States-owned
Freeport mine and Exxon-Mobil facilities, by independent human
rights and environmental monitors, including the United Nations
special rapporteurs on torture and extra-judicial execution, as
well as by humanitarian nongovernmental organizations;
(5) calls upon the United States Government to press for
the withdrawal of nonorganic troops from West Papua and Aceh,
and an overall reduction of force numbers in those areas,
particularly along the PNG border;
(6) calls upon the Government of Indonesia to release the
autopsy report of Jafar Siddiq Hamzah immediately, to conduct a
thorough, open, and transparent investigation of the murder of
Hamzah and the four others with whom he was found, to offer
full access and support to independent investigators and
forensics experts brought in to examine these cases, and to
ensure that the perpetrators of these atrocities are brought to
justice through open and fair trials;
(7) condemns the recent atrocities in Central Kalimantan
the failure of Indonesian police and other security forces to
intervene to stop these atrocities, as well as the underlying
social and economic conditions caused by systematic
transmigration programs, imported labor, and inequitable and
destructive exploitation of local natural resources that have
worsened the poverty and discrimination which were contributing
factors in their commission;
(8) condemns comparable Indonesian Government policies in
Maluku and the failure of Indonesian police and other security
forces in and around Ambon to halt sectarian violence,
including the operations of the Laskar Jihad militia;
(9) calls upon the Government of Indonesia to take decisive
action to halt sectarian violence in Maluku and to arrest those
guilty of violence, including Laskar Jihad militia leaders and
armed forces officers guilty of complicity in their operations
against civilians, and to make significant progress towards
rehabilitation and reestablishment of local communities
displaced by the violence and rebuild the physical
infrastructure of the communities;
(10) calls upon the Department of State to support United
Nations and other international delegations and monitoring
efforts by international and nongovernmental agencies in West
Papua, Aceh, Maluku, Central Kalimantan, West Timor, and other
areas of Indonesia in order to deter further human rights
violations, and to encourage and support international and
nongovernmental agencies in efforts to help the people of Indonesia
rebuild and rehabilitate communities torn by violence, particularly by
assisting in the return of internally displaced peoples and in efforts
at reconciliation within and among communities;
(11) calls upon the Department of State to ensure that all
appropriate information regarding current conditions in the
West Papua, Aceh, Maluku, Kalimantan, and elsewhere in
Indonesia is included in the Annual Country Reports on Human
Rights Practices and the Annual Report on International
Religious Freedom;
(12) calls upon the Government of Indonesia to devote
official attention, in an atmosphere of openness and
transparency and oversight, to investigations into the numerous
cases of disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and other
serious human rights violations in West Papua, Aceh, Maluku,
Central Kalimantan, elsewhere in Indonesia, and occupied East
Timor; and
(13) calls upon the United States Government to continue to
insist upon vigorous investigation into all such violations,
and upon trials according to international standards for
military and police officers, militia leaders, and others
accused of such violations.

ethnic Albanian population of Kosova, resulting in thousands of
deaths and rapes and the displacement of nearly 1 million
people.
(2) Prior to the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia,
Kosova was a separate political and legal entity with a
separate and distinct financial sector, police force,
government, education system, judiciary, and health care
system.
(3) During that time, the people of Kosova successfully
administered the province.
(4) During the Milosevic era, Kosovar citizens demonstrated
again their ability to govern themselves by creating parallel
governmental and social institutions.
(5) Local elections held in Kosova in 2000 were considered
free and fair by international observers.
(6) United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244
authorizes the United Nations Mission in Kosova to provide for
transitional administration while establishing and overseeing
the development of democratic and self-governing institutions,
including the holding of elections, to ensure conditions for a
peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants of Kosova.
(7) The United Nations Mission in Kosova and the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe should
ensure that the conditions for properly conducted elections in
Kosova are in place prior to the election.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the United Nations Mission in Kosova should hold
properly conducted elections throughout Kosova during the year
2001;
(2) the only way to maintain a true and lasting peace in
the region is through the creation of democratic Kosovar
institutions with real governing authority and responsibility,
and Kosova-wide jurisdiction;
(3) all persons, regardless of ethnicity, are encouraged to
participate in elections throughout Kosova; and
(4) the United States should work with the United Nations
Mission in Kosova and the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe to ensure that the transition to Kosovar
self-government under the terms and conditions of United
Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 proceeds peacefully,
successfully, expeditiously, and in a spirit of ethnic
inclusiveness.
SEC. 739. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO POLICY REVIEW OF RELATIONS WITH
THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the President of the United States and his advisors
should be commended for their success and the diplomatic skill
with which they negotiated the safe return of the 24 American
crew members of the United States Navy reconnaissance aircraft
that made an emergency landing on the Chinese island of Hainan
on April 1, 2001; and
(2) the United States Government should conduct a policy
review of the nature of its relations with the Government of

SEC. 741. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO MAGEN DAVID ADOM SOCIETY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) It is the mission of the International Red Cross and
Red Crescent Movement to prevent and alleviate human suffering
wherever it may be found, without discrimination.
(2) The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
is a worldwide institution in which all national Red Cross and
Red Crescent societies have equal status.
(3) The Magen David Adom Society is the national
humanitarian society in the state of Israel.
(4) The Magen David Adom Society follows all the principles
of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
(5) Since the founding of the Magen David Adom Society in
1930, the American Red Cross has regarded it as a sister
national society and close working ties have been established
between the two societies.
(6) The Magen David Adom Society has used the Red Shield of
David as its humanitarian emblem since its founding in 1930 for
the same purposes that other national Red Cross and Red
Crescent societies use their respective emblems.
(7) Since 1949 Magen David Adom has been refused admission
into the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and
has been relegated to observer status without a vote because it
has used the Red Shield of David.
(8) Magen David Adom is the only humanitarian organization
equivalent to a national Red Cross or Red Crescent society in a
sovereign nation that is denied membership into the
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
(9) The American Red Cross has consistently advocated
recognition and membership of the Magen David Adom Society in
the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
(10) The House of Representatives adopted H. Res. 464 on
May 3, 2000, and the Senate adopted S. Res. 343 on October 18,
2000, expressing the sense of the House of Representatives and
the sense of the Senate, respectively, that the International
Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement should recognize and admit
to full membership Israel's Magen David Adom Society with its
emblem, the Red Shield of David.
(11) The Secretary of State testified before the Committee
on the Budget of the Senate on March 14, 2001, and stated that
admission of Magen David Adom into the International Red Cross
movement is a priority.

immediately recognize the Magen David Adom Society;
(2) the Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
should grant full membership to the Magen David Adom Society
immediately following recognition by the International
Committee of the Red Cross of the Magen David Adom Society as a
full member of the International Committee of the Red Cross;
(3) the Red Shield of David should be accorded the same
protections under international law as the Red Cross and the
Red Crescent; and
(4) the United States should continue to press for full
membership for the Magen David Adom in the International Red
Cross Movement.
SEC. 742. SENSE OF CONGRESS URGING THE RETURN OF PORTRAITS PAINTED BY
DINA BABBITT DURING HER INTERNMENT AT AUSCHWITZ THAT ARE
NOW IN THE POSSESSION OF THE AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU STATE
MUSEUM.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Dina Babbitt (formerly known as Dinah Gottliebova), a
United States citizen now in her late 70's, has requested the
return of watercolor portraits she painted while suffering a
year-and-a-half-long internment at the Auschwitz death camp
during World War II.
(2) Dina Babbitt was ordered to paint the portraits by the
infamous war criminal Dr. Josef Mengele.
(3) Dina Babbitt's life, and her mother's life, were spared
only because she painted portraits of doomed inmates of
Auschwitz-Birkenau, under orders from Dr. Josef Mengele.
(4) These paintings are currently in the possession of the
Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum.
(5) Dina Babbitt is unquestionably the rightful owner of
the artwork, since the paintings were produced by her own
talented hands as she endured the unspeakable conditions that
existed at the Auschwitz death camp.
(6) The artwork is not available for the public to view at
the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and therefore this unique
and important body of work is essentially lost to history.
(7) This continued injustice can be righted through
cooperation between agencies of the United States and Poland.
(b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress--
(1) recognizes the moral right of Dina Babbitt to obtain
the artwork she created, and recognizes her courage in the face
of the evils perpetrated by the Nazi command of the Auschwitz-
Birkenau death camp, including the atrocities committed by Dr.
Josef Mengele;
(2) urges the President to make all efforts necessary to
retrieve the seven watercolor portraits Dina Babbitt painted,
while suffering a year-and-a-half-long internment at the
Auschwitz death camp, and return them to her;
(3) urges the Secretary of State to make immediate
diplomatic efforts to facilitate the transfer of the seven
original watercolors painted by Dina Babbitt from the
Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum to Dina Babbitt, their rightful
owner;
(4) urges the Government of Poland to immediately
facilitate the return to Dina Babbitt of the artwork painted by
her that is now in the possession of the Auschwitz-Birkenau
State Museum; and
(5) urges the officials of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State
Museum to transfer the seven original paintings to Dina Babbitt
as expeditiously as possible.
SEC. 743. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING VIETNAMESE REFUGEE FAMILIES.
It is the sense of the Congress that Vietnamese refugees who served
substantial sentences in re-education camps due to their wartime
associations with the United States and who, subsequently, were
resettled in the United States should be permitted to include their
unmarried sons and daughters as family members for purposes of such
resettlement.
SEC. 744. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO MEMBERSHIP OF THE UNITED STATES
IN UNESCO.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was created in 1946 with the
support of the United States as an integral part of the United
Nations systems, designed to promote international cooperation
and exchanges in the fields of education, science, culture, and
communication with the larger purpose of constructing the
defense of peace against intolerance and incitement to war.
(2) In 1984, the United States withdrew from membership in
UNESCO over serious questions of internal management and
political polarization.
(3) Since the United States withdrew from the organization,
UNESCO addressed such criticisms by electing new leadership,
tightening financial controls, cutting budget and staff,
restoring recognition of intellectual property rights, and
supporting the principle of a free and independent
international press.
(4) In 1993, the General Accounting Office, after
conducting an extensive review of UNESCO's progress in
implementing changes, concluded that the organization's member
states, the Director General of UNESCO, managers and employee
associations demonstrated a commitment to management reform
through their actions.
(5) On September 28, 2000, former Secretary of State George
P. Schultz, who implemented the withdrawal of the United States
from UNESCO with a letter to the organization's Director
General in 1984, indicated his support for the United States
renewal of membership in UNESCO.
(6) The participation of the United States in UNESCO
programs offers a means for furthering the foreign policy
interests of the United States through the promotion of
cultural understanding and the spread of knowledge critical to
strengthening civil society.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the
President should take all necessary steps to renew the membership and
participation of the United States in the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
SEC. 745. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO GLOBAL WARMING.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Global climate change poses a significant threat to
national security, the American economy, public health and
welfare, and the global environment.
(2) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
has found that most of the observed warming over the last fifty
years is attributable to human activities, including fossil
fuel-generated carbon dioxide emissions.
(3) The IPCC has stated that global average surface
temperatures have risen since 1861.
(4) The IPCC has stated that in the last forty years, the
global average sea level has risen, ocean heat content has
increased, and snow cover and ice extent have decreased which
threatens to inundate low-lying Pacific island nations and
coastal regions throughout the world.
(5) The Environmental Protection Agency predicts that
global warming will harm United States citizens by altering
crop yields, causing sea levels to rise, and increasing the
spread of tropical infectious diseases.
(6) Industrial nations are the largest producers today of
fossil fuel-generated carbon dioxide emissions.
(7) The United States has ratified the United Nations
Framework on Climate Change which states, in part, ``the
Parties to the Convention are to implement policies with the
aim of returning...to their 1990 levels anthropogenic emissions
of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases''.
(8) The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change further states that ``developed country Parties should
take the lead in combating climate change and the adverse
effects thereof''.
(9) Action by the United States to reduce emissions, taken
in concert with other industrialized nations, will promote
action by developing countries to reduce their own emissions.
(10) A growing number of major American businesses are
expressing a need to know how governments worldwide will
respond to the threat of global warming.
(11) More efficient technologies and renewable energy
sources will mitigate global warming and will make the United
States economy more productive and create hundreds of thousands
of jobs.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the
United States should demonstrate international leadership and
responsibility in mitigating the health, environmental, and economic
threats posed by global warming by--
(1) taking responsible action to ensure significant and
meaningful reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases from all sectors; and
(2) continuing to participate in international negotiations
with the objective of completing the rules and guidelines for
the Kyoto Protocol in a manner that is consistent with the
interests of the United States and that ensures the
environmental integrity of the protocol.
SEC. 746. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE BAN ON SINN FEIN MINISTERS
FROM THE NORTH-SOUTH MINISTERIAL COUNCIL IN NORTHERN
IRELAND.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Good Friday Agreement established the North-South
Ministerial Council to bring together those with executive
responsibilities in Northern Ireland and the Republic of
Ireland to discuss matters of mutual interest on a cross-border
and all-island basis.
(2) The Ulster Unionist Party, Social Democratic and Labour
Party, Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist Party comprise the
Northern Ireland executive.
(3) First Minister David Trimble continues to ban Sinn Fein
Ministers Martin McGuiness and Bairbre de Brun from attending
North-South Ministerial Council meetings.
(4) On January 30, 2001, the Belfast High Court ruled First
Minister Trimble had acted illegally in preventing the Sinn
Fein Ministers from attending the North-South Ministerial
Council meetings.
(b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress calls upon First Minister
David Trimble to adhere to the terms of the Good Friday Agreement and
lift the ban on the participation of Sinn Fein Ministers on the North-
South Ministerial Council.
