To amend the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to authorize the provision 
   of education and related services to law enforcement and military 
  personnel of foreign countries to prevent and control HIV/AIDS and 
                             tuberculosis.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. EDUCATION AND RELATED SERVICES TO FOREIGN LAW ENFORCEMENT 
              AND MILITARY PERSONNEL TO PREVENT AND CONTROL HIV/AIDS 
              AND TUBERCULOSIS.

    (a) In General.--Section 104(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151b(c)) is amended by adding at the end the 
following:
    ``(8)(A) In providing assistance under paragraphs (4) through (7), 
the Administrator of the United States Agency for International 
Development is authorized, notwithstanding section 660 of this Act, to 
provide education and related services to law enforcement and military 
personnel of foreign countries to prevent and control HIV/AIDS and 
tuberculosis.
    ``(B) Education and related services described in subparagraph (A) 
may be provided pursuant to subparagraph (A) only if the Administrator 
determines that--
            ``(i) the education and related services are part of a 
        health initiative under one or more of paragraphs (4) through 
        (7) in the foreign country involved;
            ``(ii) failure to provide the education and related 
        services to law enforcement and military personnel of the 
        foreign country would impair the achievement of the overall 
        objectives of the health initiative;
            ``(iii) the education and related services are the same or 
        are similar to the education and related services to be 
        provided under the health initiative to other population groups 
        in the foreign country; and
            ``(iv) none of the education and related services, 
        including any commodity, can be readily adapted for law 
        enforcement, military, or internal security functions.''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall 
apply with respect to education and related services to law enforcement 
and military personnel of foreign countries to prevent and control HIV/
AIDS and tuberculosis provided beginning before, on, or after the date 
of the enactment of this Act.
