SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) During the last 20 years, HIV/AIDS has assumed pandemic 
        proportions, spreading from the most severely affected region, 
        sub-Saharan Africa, to all corners of the world, and leaving an 
        unprecedented path of death and devastation.
            (2) According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/
        AIDS (UNAIDS), more than 65,000,000 individuals worldwide have 
        been infected with HIV since the epidemic began, more than 
        25,000,000 of these individuals have lost their lives to the 
        disease, and more than 14,000,000 children have been orphaned 
        by the disease. HIV/AIDS is the fourth-highest cause of death 
        in the world.
            (3)(A) At the end of 2002, an estimated 42,000,000 
        individuals were infected with HIV or living with AIDS. Of 
        these individuals, more than 3,200,000 were children under the 
        age of fifteen and more than 19,200,000 were women.
            (B) Women are four times more vulnerable to infection than 
        are men and are becoming infected at increasingly high rates, 
        in part because many societies do not provide poor women and 
        young girls with the social, legal, and cultural protections 
        against high risk activities that expose them to HIV/AIDS.
            (C) Women and children who are refugees or are internally 
        displaced persons are especially vulnerable to sexual 
        exploitation and violence, thereby increasing the possibility 
        of HIV infection.
            (4) As the leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa, 
        AIDS has killed more than 19,400,000 individuals (more than 3 
        times the number of AIDS deaths in the rest of the world) and 
        will claim the lives of one-quarter of the population, mostly 
        adults, in the next decade.
            (5) An estimated 1,900,000 individuals in Latin America and 
        the Caribbean and another 7,200,000 individuals in Asia and the 
        Pacific region are infected with HIV or living with AIDS. 
        Infection rates are rising alarmingly in Eastern Europe 
        (especially in the Russian Federation), Central Asia, and 
        China.
            (6) HIV/AIDS threatens personal security by affecting the 
        health, lifespan, and productive capacity of the individual and 
        the social cohesion and economic well-being of the family.
            (7) HIV/AIDS undermines the economic security of a country 
        and individual businesses in that country by weakening the 
        productivity and longevity of the labor force across a broad 
        array of economic sectors and by reducing the potential for 
        economic growth over the long term.
            (8) HIV/AIDS destabilizes communities by striking at the 
        most mobile and educated members of society, many of whom are 
        responsible for security at the local level and governance at 
        the national and subnational levels as well as many teachers, 
        health care personnel, and other community workers vital to 
        community development and the effort to combat HIV/AIDS. In 
        some countries the overwhelming challenges of the HIV/AIDS 
        epidemic are accelerating the outward migration of critically 
        important health care professionals.
            (9) HIV/AIDS weakens the defenses of countries severely 
        affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis through high infection rates 
        among members of their military forces and voluntary 
        peacekeeping personnel. According to UNAIDS, in sub-Saharan 
        Africa, many military forces have infection rates as much as 
        five times that of the civilian population.
            (10) HIV/AIDS poses a serious security issue for the 
        international community by--
                    (A) increasing the potential for political 
                instability and economic devastation, particularly in 
                those countries and regions most severely affected by 
                the disease;
                    (B) decreasing the capacity to resolve conflicts 
                through the introduction of peacekeeping forces because 
                the environments into which these forces are introduced 
                pose a high risk for the spread of HIV/AIDS; and
                    (C) increasing the vulnerability of local 
                populations to HIV/AIDS in conflict zones from 
                peacekeeping troops with HIV infection rates 
                significantly higher than civilian populations.
            (11) The devastation wrought by the HIV/AIDS pandemic is 
        compounded by the prevalence of tuberculosis and malaria, 
        particularly in developing countries where the poorest and most 
        vulnerable members of society, including women, children, and 
        those individuals living with HIV/AIDS, become infected. 
        According to the World Health Organization (WHO), HIV/AIDS, 
        tuberculosis, and malaria accounted for more than 5,700,000 
        deaths in 2001 and caused debilitating illnesses in millions 
        more.
            (12) Together, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and related 
        diseases are undermining agricultural production throughout 
        Africa. According to the United Nations Food and Agricultural 
        Organization, 7,000,000 agricultural workers throughout 25 
        African countries have died from AIDS since 1985. Countries 
        with poorly developed agricultural systems, which already face 
        chronic food shortages, are the hardest hit, particularly in 
        sub-Saharan Africa, where high HIV prevalence rates are 
        compounding the risk of starvation for an estimated 14,400,00 
        people.
            (13) Tuberculosis is the cause of death for one out of 
        every three people with AIDS worldwide and is a highly 
        communicable disease. HIV infection is the leading threat to 
        tuberculosis control. Because HIV infection so severely weakens 
        the immune system, individuals with HIV and latent tuberculosis 
        infection have a 100 times greater risk of developing active 
        tuberculosis diseases thereby increasing the risk of spreading 
        tuberculosis to others. Tuberculosis, in turn, accelerates the 
        onset of AIDS in individuals infected with HIV.
            (14) Malaria, the most deadly of all tropical parasitic 
        diseases, has been undergoing a dramatic resurgence in recent 
        years due to increasing resistance of the malaria parasite to 
        inexpensive and effective drugs. At the same time, increasing 
        resistance of mosquitoes to standard insecticides makes control 
        of transmission difficult to achieve. The World Health 
        Organization estimates that between 300,000,000 and 500,000,000 
        new cases of malaria occur each year, and annual deaths from 
        the disease number between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000. Persons 
        infected with HIV are particularly vulnerable to the malaria 
        parasite. The spread of HIV infection contributes to the 
        difficulties of controlling resurgence of the drug resistant 
        malaria parasite.
            (15) HIV/AIDS is first and foremost a health problem. 
        Successful strategies to stem the spread of the pandemic will 
        require medical interventions, the strengthening of health care 
        delivery systems and infrastructure, and determined national 
        leadership and increased budgetary allocations for the health 
        sector in countries affected by the epidemic as well as 
        measures to address the social and behavioral causes of the 
        problem and its impact on families, communities, and societal 
        sectors.
            (16) Basic interventions to prevent new HIV infections and 
        to bring care and treatment to people living with AIDS, such as 
        voluntary counseling and testing and mother-to-child 
        transmission programs, are achieving meaningful results and are 
        cost-effective. The challenge is to expand these interventions 
        from a pilot program basis to a national basis in a coherent 
        and sustainable manner.
            (17) Appropriate treatment of individuals with HIV/AIDS can 
        prolong the lives of such individuals, preserve their families, 
        prevent children from becoming orphans, and increase 
        productivity of such individuals by allowing them to lead 
        active lives and reduce the need for costly hospitalization for 
        treatment of opportunistic infections caused by HIV.
            (18) Nongovernmental organizations, including faith-based 
        organizations, with experience in health care and HIV/AIDS 
        counseling, have proven effective in combating the HIV/AIDS 
        pandemic and can be a resource in assisting indigenous 
        organizations in severely affected countries in their efforts 
        to provide treatment and care for individuals infected with 
        HIV/AIDS.
            (19) Faith-based organizations are making an important 
        contribution to HIV prevention and AIDS treatment programs 
        around the world. Successful HIV prevention programs in Uganda, 
        Jamaica, and elsewhere have included local churches and faith-
        based groups in efforts to promote behavior changes to prevent 
        HIV, to reduce stigma associated with HIV infection, to treat 
        those afflicted with the disease, and to care for orphans. The 
        Catholic Church alone currently cares for one in four people 
        being treated for AIDS worldwide. Faith-based organizations 
        possess infrastructure, experience, and knowledge that will be 
        needed to carry out these programs in the future and should be 
        an integral part of United States efforts.
            (20)(A) Uganda has experienced the most significant decline 
        in HIV rates of any country in Africa, including a decrease 
        among pregnant women from 20.6 percent in 1991 to 7.9 percent 
        in 2000.
            (B) Uganda made this remarkable turnaround because 
        President Yoweri Museveni spoke out early, breaking long-
        standing cultural taboos, and changed widespread perceptions 
        about the disease. His leadership stands as a model for ways 
        political leaders in Africa and other developing countries can 
        mobilize their nations, including civic organizations, 
        professional associations, religious institutions, business and 
        labor to combat HIV/AIDS.
            (C) Uganda's successful AIDS treatment and prevention 
        program is referred to as the ABC model: ``Abstain, Be 
        faithful, use Condoms'', in order of priority. Jamaica, Zambia, 
        Ethiopia and Senegal have also successfully used the ABC model. 
        Beginning in 1986, Uganda brought about a fundamental change in 
        sexual behavior by developing a low-cost  program with the 
message: ``Stop having multiple partners. Be faithful. Teenagers, wait 
until you are married before you begin sex.''.
            (D) By 1995, 95 percent of Ugandans were reporting either 
        one or zero sexual partners in the past year, and the 
        proportion of sexually active youth declined significantly from 
        the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. The greatest percentage 
        decline in HIV infections and the greatest degree of behavioral 
        change occurred in those 15 to 19 years old. Uganda's success 
        shows that behavior change, through the use of the ABC model, 
        is a very successful way to prevent the spread of HIV.
            (21) The magnitude and scope of the HIV/AIDS crisis demands 
        a comprehensive, long-term, international response focused upon 
        addressing the causes, reducing the spread, and ameliorating 
        the consequences of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, including--
                    (A) prevention and education, care and treatment, 
                basic and applied research, and training of health care 
                workers, particularly at the community and provincial 
                levels, and other community workers and leaders needed 
                to cope with the range of consequences of the HIV/AIDS 
                crisis;
                    (B) development of health care infrastructure and 
                delivery systems through cooperative and coordinated 
                public efforts and public and private partnerships;
                    (C) development and implementation of national and 
                community-based multisector strategies that address the 
                impact of HIV/AIDS on the individual, family, 
                community, and nation and increase the participation of 
                at-risk populations in programs designed to encourage 
                behavioral and social change and reduce the stigma 
                associated with HIV/AIDS; and
                    (D) coordination of efforts between international 
                organizations such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, 
                Tuberculosis and Malaria, the Joint United Nations 
                Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Health 
                Organization (WHO), national governments, and private 
                sector organizations, including faith-based 
                organizations.
            (22) The United States has the capacity to lead and enhance 
        the effectiveness of the international community's response 
        by--
                    (A) providing substantial financial resources, 
                technical expertise, and training, particularly of 
                health care personnel and community workers and 
                leaders;
                    (B) promoting vaccine and microbicide research and 
                the development of new treatment protocols in the 
                public and commercial pharmaceutical research sectors;
                    (C) making available pharmaceuticals and 
                diagnostics for HIV/AIDS therapy;
                    (D) encouraging governments and community-based 
                organizations to adopt policies that treat HIV/AIDS as 
                a multisectoral problem affecting not only health but 
                other areas such as agriculture, education, the 
                economy, the family and society, and assisting them to 
                develop and implement programs corresponding to these 
                needs;
                    (E) promoting healthy lifestyles, including 
                delaying sexual debut, monogamy, marriage, 
                faithfulness, use of condoms, and avoiding substance 
                abuse; and
                    (F) encouraging active involvement of the private 
                sector, including businesses, pharmaceutical and 
                biotechnology companies, the medical and scientific 
                communities, charitable foundations, private and 
                voluntary organizations and nongovernmental 
                organizations, faith-based organizations, community-
                based organizations, and other nonprofit entities.
            (23) Strong coordination must exist among the various 
        agencies of the United States to ensure effective and efficient 
        use of financial and technical resources within the United 
        States Government with respect to the provision of 
        international HIV/AIDS assistance.
            (24) In his address to Congress on January 28, 2003, the 
        President announced the Administration's intention to embark on 
        a five-year emergency plan for AIDS relief, to confront HIV/
        AIDS with the goals of preventing 7,000,000 new HIV/AIDS 
        infections, treating at least 2,000,000 people with life-
        extending drugs, and providing humane care for millions of 
        people suffering from HIV/AIDS, and for children orphaned by 
        HIV/AIDS.
            (25) In this address to Congress, the President stated the 
        following: ``Today, on the continent of Africa, nearly 
        30,000,000 people have the AIDS virus--including 3,000,000 
        children under the age of 15. There are whole countries in 
        Africa where more than one-third of the adult population 
        carries the infection. More than 4,000,000 require immediate 
        drug treatment. Yet across that continent, only 50,000 AIDS 
        victims--only 50,000--are receiving the medicine they need.''.
            (26) Furthermore, the President focused on care and 
        treatment of HIV/AIDS in his address to Congress, stating the 
        following: ``Because the AIDS diagnosis is considered a death 
        sentence, many do not seek treatment. Almost all who do are 
        turned away. A doctor in rural South Africa describes his 
        frustration. He says, `We have no medicines. Many hospitals 
        tell people, you've got AIDS, we can't help you. Go home and 
        die.' In an age of miraculous medicines, no person should have 
        to hear those words. AIDS can be prevented. Anti-retroviral 
        drugs can extend life for many years. And the cost of those 
        drugs has dropped from $12,000 a year to under $300 a year--
        which places a tremendous possibility within our grasp. Ladies 
        and gentlemen, seldom has history offered a greater opportunity 
        to do so much for so many.''.
            (27) Finally, the President stated that ``[w]e have 
        confronted, and will continue to confront, HIV/AIDS in our own 
        country'', proposing now that the United States should lead the 
world in sparing innocent people from a plague of nature, and asking 
Congress ``to commit $15,000,000,000 over the next five years, 
including nearly $10,000,000,000 in new money, to turn the tide against 
AIDS in the most afflicted nations of Africa and the Caribbean''.

TITLE II--SUPPORT FOR MULTILATERAL FUNDS, PROGRAMS, AND PUBLIC-PRIVATE 
                              PARTNERSHIPS

SEC. 201. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Innovative partnerships between governments and 
        organizations in the private sector (including foundations, 
        universities, corporations, faith-based and community-based 
        organizations, and other nongovernmental organizations) have 
        proliferated in recent years, particularly in the area of 
        health.
            (2) Public-private sector partnerships multiply local and 
        international capacities to strengthen the delivery of health 
        services in developing countries and to accelerate research for 
        vaccines and other pharmaceutical products that are essential 
        to combat infectious diseases decimating the populations of 
        these countries.
            (3) These partnerships maximize the unique capabilities of 
        each sector while combining financial and other resources, 
        scientific knowledge, and expertise toward common goals which 
        neither the public nor the private sector can achieve alone.
            (4) Sustaining existing public-private partnerships and 
        building new ones are critical to the success of the 
        international community's efforts to combat HIV/AIDS and other 
        infectious diseases around the globe.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the sustainment and promotion of public-private 
        partnerships should be a priority element of the strategy 
        pursued by the United States to combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic 
        and other global health crises; and
            (2) the United States should systematically track the 
        evolution of these partnerships and work with others in the 
        public and private sector to profile and build upon those 
        models that are most effective.

SEC. 202. PARTICIPATION IN THE GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS 
              AND MALARIA.

    (a) Authority for United States Participation.--
            (1) United states participation.--The United States is 
        hereby authorized to participate in the Global Fund.

    (b) Reports to Congress.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for the duration of 
the Global Fund, the President shall submit to the appropriate 
congressional committees a report on the Global Fund, including 
contributions pledged to, contributions (including donations from the 
private sector) received by, and projects funded by the Global Fund, 
and the mechanisms established for transparency and accountability in 
the grant-making process.
    (c) United States Financial Participation.--
            (1) Authorization of appropriations.--In addition to any 
        other funds authorized to be appropriated for bilateral or

        there are authorized to be appropriated to the President up to 
        $1,000,000,000 in the fiscal year 2004, and such sums as may be

                available for fiscal years 2004 through 2008 under 
                paragraph (1).
            (4) Limitation.--
                    (A) At any time during fiscal years 2004 through 
                2008, no United States contribution to the Global Fund 
                may cause the total amount of United States Government 
                contributions to the Global Fund to exceed 33 percent 
                of the total amount of funds contributed to the Global 
                Fund from all other sources. Contributions to the 
                Global Fund from the International Bank for 
                Reconstruction and Development and the International 
                Monetary Fund shall not be considered in determining 
                compliance with this paragraph.
                    (B) Any amount made available under this subsection 
                that is withheld by reason of subparagraph (A) shall be 
                contributed to the Global Fund as soon as practicable, 
                subject to subparagraph (A), after additional 
                contributions to the Global Fund are made from other 
                sources.
                    (C)(i) The President may suspend the application of 
                subparagraph (A) with respect to a fiscal year if the 
                President determines that an international health 
                emergency threatens the national security interests of 
                the United States.
                    (ii) The President shall notify the Committee on 
                International Relations of the House of Representatives 
                and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate 
                not less than 5 days before making a determination 
                under clause (i) and shall include in the 
                notification--
                            (I) a justification as to why increased 
                        United States Government contributions to the 
                        Global Fund is preferable to increased United 
                        States assistance to combat HIV/AIDS, 
                        tuberculosis, and malaria on a bilateral basis; 
                        and
                            (II) an explanation as to why other 
                        government donors to the Global Fund are unable 
                        to provide adequate contributions to the Fund.
    (d) Interagency Technical Review Panel.--
            (1) Establishment.--The Coordinator of United States 
        Government Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS Globally, established 
        in section 1(f)(1) of the State Department Basic Authorities 
        Act of 1956 (as added by section 102(a) of this Act), shall 
        establish in the Executive Branch an interagency technical 
        review panel.
            (2) Duties.--The interagency technical review panel shall 
        serve as a ``shadow'' panel to the Global Fund by--
                    (A) periodically reviewing all proposals received 
                by the Global Fund; and
                    (B) providing guidance to the United States persons 
                who are representatives on the panels, committees, and 
                boards of the Global Fund, on the technical efficacy, 
                suitability, and appropriateness of the proposals, and 
                ensuring that such persons are fully informed of 
                technical inadequacies or other aspects of the 
                proposals that are inconsistent with the purposes of

            Subtitle B--Assistance for Children and Families

SEC. 311. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Approximately 2,000 children around the world are 
        infected each day with HIV through mother-to-child 
        transmission. Transmission can occur during pregnancy, labor, 
        and delivery or through breast feeding. Over ninety percent of 
        these cases are in developing nations with little or no access 
        to public health facilities.
            (2) Mother-to-child transmission is largely preventable 
        with the proper application of pharmaceuticals, therapies, and 
        other public health interventions.
            (3) The drug nevirapine reduces mother-to-child 
        transmission by nearly 50 percent. Universal availability of 
        this drug could prevent up to 400,000 infections per year and 
        dramatically reduce the number of AIDS-related deaths.
            (4) At the United Nations Special Session on HIV/AIDS in 
        June 2001, the United States committed to the specific goals 
        with respect to the prevention of mother-to-child transmission, 
        including the goals of reducing the proportion of infants 
        infected with HIV by 20 percent by the year 2005 and by 50 
        percent by the year 2010, as specified in the Declaration of 
        Commitment on HIV/AIDS adopted by the United Nations General 
        Assembly at the Special Session.
            (5) Several United States Government agencies including the 
        United States Agency for International Development and the 
        Centers for Disease Control are already supporting programs to 
        prevent mother-to-child transmission in resource-poor nations 
        and have the capacity to expand these programs rapidly by 
        working closely with foreign governments and nongovernmental 
        organizations.
            (6) Efforts to prevent mother-to-child transmission can 
        provide the basis for a broader response that includes care and 
        treatment of mothers, fathers, and other family members who are 
        infected with HIV or living with AIDS.
            (7) HIV/AIDS has devastated the lives of countless children 
        and families across the globe. Since the epidemic began, an 
        estimated 13,200,000 children under the age of 15 have been 
        orphaned by AIDS, that is they have lost their mother or both 
        parents to the disease. The Joint United Nations Program on 
        HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that this number will double by the 
        year 2010.
            (8) HIV/AIDS also targets young people between the ages of 
        15 to 24, particularly young women, many of whom carry the 
        burden of caring for family members living with HIV/AIDS. An 
        estimated 10,300,000 young people are now living with HIV/AIDS. 
        One-half of all new infections are occurring among this age 
        group.

SEC. 312. POLICY AND REQUIREMENTS.

    (a) Policy.--The United States Government's response to the global 
HIV/AIDS pandemic should place high priority on the prevention of 
mother-to-child transmission, the care and treatment of family members 
and caregivers, and the care of children orphaned by AIDS. To the 
maximum extent possible, the United States Government should seek to 
leverage its funds by seeking matching contributions from the private 
sector, other national governments, and international organizations.
    (b) Requirements.--The 5-year United States Government strategy 
required by section 101 of this Act shall--
            (1) provide for meeting or exceeding the goal to reduce the 
        rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV by 20 percent by 
        2005 and by 50 percent by 2010;
            (2) include programs to make available testing and 
        treatment to HIV-positive women and their family members, 
        including drug treatment and therapies to prevent mother-to-
        child transmission; and
            (3) expand programs designed to care for children orphaned 
        by AIDS.

SEC. 313. ANNUAL REPORTS ON PREVENTION OF MOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSION 
              OF THE HIV INFECTION.

    (a) In General.--Not later than one year after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for a period of five 
years, the President shall submit to appropriate congressional 
committees a report on the activities of relevant executive branch 
agencies during the reporting period to assist in the prevention of 
mother-to-child transmission of the HIV infection.
    (b) Report Elements.--Each report shall include--
            (1) a statement of whether or not all relevant executive 
        branch agencies have met the goal described in section 
        312(b)(1); and
            (2) a description of efforts made by the relevant executive 
        branch agencies to expand those activities, including--
                    (A) information on the number of sites supported 
                for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of 
                the HIV infection;
                    (B) the specific activities supported;
                    (C) the number of women tested and counseled; and
                    (D) the number of women receiving preventative drug 
                therapies.
    (c) Reporting Period Defined.--In this section, the term 
``reporting period'' means, in the case of the initial report, the 
period since the date of enactment of this Act and, in the case of any 
subsequent report, the period since the date of submission of the most 
recent report.

            (1) build upon and be integrated into programs administered 
        as of the date of enactment of this Act by the relevant 
        executive branch agencies for children affected by HIV/AIDS;
            (2) work in conjunction with indigenous community-based 
        programs and activities, particularly those that offer proven 
        services for children;
            (3) reduce the stigma of HIV/AIDS to encourage vulnerable 
        children infected with HIV or living with AIDS and their family 
        members and caregivers to avail themselves of voluntary 
        counseling and testing, and related programs, including 
        treatments;
            (4) provide, in conjunction with other relevant executive 
        branch agencies, the range of services for the care and
