               TITLE II--MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE ASSISTANCE

SEC. 201. FINDINGS; STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) A principal objective of United States foreign 
        assistance programs, as stated in section 101 of the Foreign 
        Assistance Act of 1961, is the ``encouragement and sustained 
        support of the people of developing countries in their efforts 
        to acquire the knowledge and resources essential to development 
        and to build the economic, political, and social institutions 
        which will improve the quality of their lives''.
            (2) The expanding acceptance of free trade and open markets 
        and the spread of democracy and the rule of law have brought a 
        better way of life to an increasing number of people in the 
        world.
            (3) Inequalities between men and women undermine 
        development and poverty-reduction efforts in fundamental ways. 
        A woman's limited access to resources and restrictions on the 
        exercise of her rights, including the right to participate in 
        social and political processes, disables her from maximizing 
        her contribution to her family's health, education, and general 
        well-being.
            (4) On March 14, 2002, the President noted the successes of 
        development assistance programs: ``The advances of free markets 
        and trade and democracy and rule of law have brought prosperity 
        to an ever-widening circle of people in this world. During our 
        lifetime, per capita income in the poorest countries has nearly 
        doubled. Illiteracy has been cut by one-third, giving more 
        children a chance to learn. Infant mortality has been almost 
        halved, giving more children a chance to live.''.
            (5) Development is neither an easy process nor a linear 
        one. There are successes and there are failures. Today, too 
        many people are still living in poverty, disease has eroded 
        many of the economic and social gains of previous decades, and 
        many countries have not adopted policies, for a variety of 
        reasons, that would enable them to compete in an open and 
        equitable international economic system.
            (6) More countries and more people will be able to 
        participate in and benefit from the opportunities afforded by 
        the global economy if the following conditions for sound and 
        sustainable economic development are met:
                    (A) Security.--Security is necessary for economic 
                development. Persistent poverty and oppression can lead 
                to hopelessness, despair, and to failed states that 
                become havens for terrorists.
                    (B) Policies that support broad-based economic 
                growth.--Successful long-term development can only 
                occur through broad-based economic growth that enables 
                the poor to increase their incomes and have access to 
                productive resources and services so that they can lead 
                lives of decency, dignity, and hope.
                    (C) Democracy and the rule of law.--Democratic 
                development, political pluralism, and respect for 
                internationally recognized human rights are 
                intrinsically linked to economic and social progress. 
                The ability of people to participate in the economic 
                and political processes affecting their lives is 
                essential to sustained growth. The rule of law and a 
                commitment to fight corruption is also critical to the 
                development of a prosperous society.
                    (D) Investments in people.--Economic growth and 
                democracy can be sustained only if both men and women 
                have the basic tools and capabilities that foster the 
                opportunity for participation in the economic, social, 
                and political life of their countries. Successful 
                development of countries requires citizens who are 
                literate, healthy, and prepared and able to work.
            (7) Economic assistance programs authorized under part I of 
        the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as administered by the 
        United States Agency for International Development and other 
        Federal agencies, are of critical importance in assisting 
        countries to be in a position to maximize the effectiveness of 
        assistance authorized by this title.
            (8) It is in the national interest of the United States to 
        help those countries that are implementing the economic and 
        political reforms necessary for development to occur.
            (9) On March 14, 2002, the President stated that the 
        ``growing divide between wealth and poverty, between 
        opportunity and misery, is both a challenge to our compassion 
        and a source of instability . . . [w]e must confront it . . . 
        [w]e must include every African, every Asian, every Latin 
        American, every Muslim, in an expanding circle of 
        development.''.
            (10) The President has pledged that funds requested for the 
        Millennium Challenge Account shall be in addition to, and not a 
        substitute for, existing development and humanitarian programs.
            (11) Development assistance alone is not sufficient to 
        stimulate economic growth and development. Assistance has been 
        shown to have a positive impact on growth and development in 
        developing countries with sound policies and institutions. If 
        countries have poor policies and institutions, however, it is 
        highly unlikely that assistance will have a net positive 
        effect.
            (12) Economic development, and the achievement of the 
        Millennium Development Goals, must be a shared responsibility 
        between donor and recipient countries.
    (b) Statement of Policy Regarding a New Compact for Global 
Development.--It is, therefore, the policy of the United States to 
support a new compact for global development that--
            (1) increases support by donor countries to those 
        developing countries that are fostering democracy and the rule 
        of law, investing in their people, and promoting economic 
        freedom for all their people;
            (2) recognizes, however, that it is the developing 
        countries themselves that are primarily responsible for the 
        achievement of those goals;
            (3) seeks to coordinate the disparate development 
        assistance policies of donor countries, and to harmonize the 
        trade and finance policies of donor countries with their 
        respective development assistance programs; and
            (4) aims to reduce poverty by significantly increasing the 
        economic growth trajectory of beneficiary countries through 
        investing in the productive potential of the people of such 
        countries.

SEC. 202. AUTHORIZATION OF ASSISTANCE.

    (a) Assistance.--The President, acting through the Chief Executive 
Officer of the Millennium Challenge Corporation, is authorized to

                processes;
                    (E) transparent and accountable public 
                administration at all levels of government;
                    (F) a fair, competent, and independent judiciary; 
                and
                    (G) a free and independent media.
            (2) Fostering investment in education and health 
        infrastructure and systems.--The assistance should foster 
        improved educational opportunities and health conditions, 
        particularly for women and children, including through--
                    (A) support for programs and personnel that promote 
                broad-based primary education, including through the 
                development of academic curricula, by making available 
                textbooks and other educational materials, and through 
                appropriate use of technology;
                    (B) support for programs to strengthen and build 
                institutions, including primary health care systems, 
                infrastructure, facilities, and personnel that provide 
                quality health care;
                    (C) support for improved systems for the delivery 
                of healthy water and sanitation services; and
                    (D) support for programs that reduce child 
                mortality (including those programs that combat HIV/
                AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and other infectious 
                diseases, consistent with sections 104(c), 104A, 104B, 
                and 104C of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961).
            (3) Promoting economic freedom, broad-based economic 
        growth, and fostering free market systems.--The assistance 
        should foster the institutions and conditions needed to promote 
        free market systems, trade, and investment, including--
                    (A) the reform and restructuring of banking and 
                financial systems, including by allowing foreign 
                competition in the banking and financial sectors, where 
                appropriate;
                    (B) the development of transparent and efficient 
                commercial codes and reduction in the regulatory burden 
                on business;
                    (C) the protection of property rights, including--
                            (i) private property and intellectual 
                        property rights, including through the adoption 
                        and effective enforcement of intellectual 
                        property treaties or international agreements; 
                        and
                            (ii) the establishment and maintenance of 
                        an efficient and integrated legal property 
                        system that, among other things, facilitates 
                        the ability of the poor, particularly women, to 
                        convert physical and intellectual assets into 
                        capital, such as utilizing existing practices 
                        and customs that allow assets to be documented 
                        in a manner that makes the assets widely 
                        transferable, leveragable, and fungible, that 
                        allows individuals to hold legal title to their 
                        property, and that holds owners accountable for 
                        transactions involving their property;
                    (D) support for market-based policies that support

                    (E) a strong commitment to sound monetary and 
                budgetary policies;
                    (F) the development of small businesses, private 
                cooperatives, credit unions, and trade and labor 
                unions;
                    (G) the protection of internationally recognized 
                workers' rights; and
                    (H) the capacity of eligible countries to 
                ameliorate damage to the environment and respect other 
                environmental standards.

                ineligible to receive United States economic assistance 
                by reason of the application of section 116, 490, or 
                620A of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, or by

                law; and
                    (C) the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation 
                determines that the country has demonstrated a

                            (i) bolster democracy, human rights, good

SEC. 309. MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE SEED GRANTS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Many countries in the developing world lack the 
        academic and public policy advocacy base essential to attaining 
        the principal objectives of the Millennium Challenge Account.
            (2) Because of widespread government repression of free 
        speech and poverty, the countries of Africa in particular 
        suffer an acute shortage of nongovernmental organizations which 
        effectively study and promote the principal objectives of the 
        Millennium Challenge Account.
            (3) Many developing countries, particularly low income 
        countries, lack the institutional capacity to enhance the 
        quality and accuracy of data upon which the eligibility 
        criteria in section 203 relies. Such countries may also lack 
        the ability to monitor and evaluate development projects 
        effectively.
            (4) The Millennium Challenge Account will struggle to reach 
        its goals unless countries in the developing world possess a 
        home grown intellectual commitment and culture of advocacy 
        aimed at promoting its principal objectives.
    (b) Assistance.--The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation is 
authorized to provide assistance in support of nongovernmental 
organizations (including universities, independent foundations, and 
other organizations) in low income and lower middle income countries, 
and, where appropriate, directly to agencies of foreign governments in 
low income countries, that are undertaking research, education, and 
advocacy efforts aimed at promoting democratic societies, human rights, 
the rule of law, improved educational opportunities and health 
conditions, particularly for women and children, and economic freedom, 
including research aimed at improving data related to the eligibility 
criteria and methodology established by this division with respect to 
such a country or monitoring and evaluating the impact of assistance 
provided under this division.
    (c) Limitation.--Not more than $10,000,000 of the amount made 
available to carry out this division for a fiscal year may be made 
available to carry out this section.

SEC. 310. CLARIFICATION OF ROLE OF USAID.

    (a) Status of USAID.--The Administrator of the United States Agency 
for International Development shall report to the President through, 
and operate under the foreign policy authority and direction of, the 
Secretary of State. The United States Agency for International 
Development shall be administered under the supervision and operational 
direction of the Administrator of the Agency.
    (b) Functions of USAID.--The United States Agency for International

        for assistance provided under title II in order that it may 
        become eligible for such assistance; and

        Corporation and with the concurrence of the Administrator of 
        the Agency, to assist in the evaluation, execution, and

                assistance.
            (2) The Corporation established under title III should

SEC. 1003. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Peace Corps was established in 1961 to promote 
        world peace and friendship through the service abroad of 
        volunteers who are United States citizens. The spirit of 
        service and commitment to helping others is a fundamental 
        component of democracy.
            (2) Since its establishment, more than 168,000 volunteers 
        have served in the Peace Corps in 136 countries throughout the 
        world.
            (3) The three goals codified in the Peace Corps Act which 
        have guided the Peace Corps and its volunteers over the years, 
        can work in concert to promote global acceptance of the 
        principles of international peace and nonviolent coexistence 
        among peoples of diverse cultures and systems of government.
            (4) The Peace Corps has sought to fulfill three goals--to 
        help people in developing countries meet basic needs, promote 
        understanding abroad of the values and ideals of the United 
        States, and promote an understanding of other peoples by the 
        people of the United States.
            (5) After more than 40 years of operation, the Peace Corps 
        remains the world's premier international service organization 
        dedicated to promoting grassroots development by working with 
        families and communities to improve health care for children, 
        expand agricultural production, teach in schools, fight 
        infectious diseases, protect the environment, and initiate 
        small business opportunities.
            (6) The Peace Corps remains committed to sending well 
        trained and well supported Peace Corps volunteers overseas to 
        promote international peace, cross-cultural awareness, and 
        mutual understanding between the United States and other 
        countries.
            (7) The Peace Corps is an independent agency, and, 
        therefore, no Peace Corps personnel or volunteers should be 
        used to accomplish any goal other than the goals established by 
        the Peace Corps Act.
            (8) The Crisis Corps has been an effective tool in 
        harnessing the skills and talents of returned Peace Corps 
        volunteers and should be expanded, to the maximum extent 
        practicable, to utilize the talent of returned Peace Corps 
        volunteers.
            (9) In fiscal year 2003, the Peace Corps is operating with 
        an annual budget of $295,000,000 in 70 countries, with more 
        than 7,000 Peace Corps volunteers.
            (10) There is deep misunderstanding and misinformation in 
        many parts of the world, particularly in countries with 
        substantial Muslim populations, with respect to United States 
        values and ideals. A new or expanded Peace Corps presence in 
        such places could foster better understanding between the 
        people of the United States and such countries.
            (11) Congress has declared, and the Peace Corps Act 
        provides, that the Peace Corps shall maintain, to the maximum 
        extent practicable and appropriate, a volunteer corps of at 
        least 10,000 individuals.
            (12) President George W. Bush has called for the doubling 
        of the number of Peace Corps volunteers in service.
            (13) Any expansion of the Peace Corps should not jeopardize 
        the quality of the Peace Corps volunteer experience and, 
        therefore, necessitates, among other things, an appropriate 
        increase in field and headquarters support staff.
            (14) In order to ensure that the proposed expansion of the 
        Peace Corps preserves the integrity of the program and the 
        security of volunteers, the integrated Planning and Budget 
        System supported by the Office of Planning and Policy Analysis 
        should continue its focus on strategic planning.
            (15) A streamlined, bipartisan Peace Corps National 
        Advisory Council composed of distinguished returned Peace Corps 
        volunteers, former Peace Corps staff, and other individuals 
        with diverse backgrounds and expertise can be a source of ideas 
        and suggestions that may be useful to the Director of the Peace

        its volunteers high priority.

volunteers.

        TITLE II--DEPARTMENT OF STATE AUTHORITIES AND ACTIVITIES

               Subtitle A--United States Public Diplomacy

SEC. 201. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States possesses strong and deep connections 
        with the peoples of the world separate from its relations with 
        their governments. These connections can be a major asset in 
        the promotion of United States interests and foreign policy.
            (2) Misinformation and hostile propaganda in these 
        countries regarding the United States and its foreign policy 
        endanger the interests of the United States. Existing efforts 
        to counter such misinformation and propaganda are inadequate 
        and must be greatly enhanced in both scope and substance.
            (3) United States foreign policy has been hampered by an 
        insufficient consideration of the importance of public 
        diplomacy in the formulation and implementation of that policy 
        and by the underuse of modern communication techniques.
            (4) The United States should have an operational strategy 
        and a coordinated effort regarding the utilization of its 
        public diplomacy resources.
            (5) The development of an operational strategy and a 
        coordinated effort by United States agencies regarding public 
        diplomacy would greatly enhance United States foreign policy.
            (6) The Secretary of State has undertaken efforts to ensure 
        that of the new positions established at the Department of 
        State after September 30, 2002, a significant proportion are 
        for public diplomacy.
    (b) Purposes.--It is the purpose of this subtitle to enhance in 
scope and substance, redirect, redefine, and reorganize United States 
public diplomacy.

SEC. 202. PUBLIC DIPLOMACY RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE.

    (a) In General.--The State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 
(22 U.S.C. 265 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 58 the 
following new section:

``SEC. 59. PUBLIC DIPLOMACY RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF 
              STATE.

    ``(a) In General.--The Secretary of State shall make public 
diplomacy an integral component in the planning and execution of United 
States foreign policy. The Department of State, in coordination with 
the United States International Broadcasting Agency, shall develop a 
comprehensive strategy for the use of public diplomacy resources and 
assume a prominent role in coordinating the efforts of all Federal 
agencies involved in public diplomacy. Public diplomacy efforts shall 
be addressed to developed and developing countries, to select and 
general audiences, and shall utilize all available media to ensure that 
the foreign policy of the United States is properly explained and 
understood not only by the governments of countries but also by their 
peoples, with the objective of enhancing support for United States 
foreign policy. The Secretary shall ensure that the public diplomacy 
strategy of the United States is cohesive and coherent and shall 
aggressively and through the most effective mechanisms counter 
misinformation and propaganda concerning the United States. The 
Secretary shall endeavor to articulate the importance in American 
foreign policy of the guiding principles and doctrines of the United 
States, particularly freedom and democracy. The Secretary, in 
coordination with the Board of Governors of the United States 
International Broadcasting Agency, shall develop and articulate long-
term measurable objectives for United States public diplomacy. The

        agencies, the Secretary shall ensure that information 
        concerning foreign assistance provided by the United States 
        Government, United States nongovernmental organizations and 
        private entities, and the American people is disseminated 
        widely and prominently, particularly, to the extent 
        practicable, within countries and regions that receive such 
        assistance. The Secretary shall ensure that, to the extent 
        practicable, projects funded by the United States Agency for 
        International Development (USAID) that do not involve 
        commodities, including projects implemented by private 
        voluntary organizations, are identified as being supported by 
        the United States of America, as American Aid or provided by 
        the American people.
            ``(2) Report to congress.--Not later than 120 days after 
        the end of each fiscal year, the Secretary shall submit a

        the Senate on efforts to disseminate information concerning 
        assistance described in paragraph (1) during the preceding 
        fiscal year. Each such report shall include specific 
        information concerning all instances in which the United States 
        Agency for International Development has not identified 
        projects in the manner prescribed in paragraph (1) because such 
        identification was not practicable. Any such report shall be 
        submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified 
        appendix.
    ``(c) Authority.--Subject to the availability of appropriations, 
the Secretary may contract with and compensate government and private 
agencies or persons for property and services to carry out this 
section.''.

        diplomacy reserve corps to augment the public diplomacy 
        capacity and capabilities of the Department in emergency and 
        critical circumstances worldwide. The Secretary shall develop a 
contingency plan for the use of the corps to bolster public diplomacy 
resources and expertise. To the extent necessary and appropriate, the 
Secretary may recruit experts in public diplomacy and related fields 
from the private sector.
            (2) While actively serving with the reserve corps, 
        individuals are prohibited from engaging in activities directly 
        or indirectly intended to influence public opinion within the

        Department engaged in public diplomacy are so prohibited.
    (c) Functions of the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy.--
            (1) Section 1(b)(3) of the State Department Basic 
        Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2651a(b)(3)) is amended by 
        striking ``formation'' and all that follows through the period 
        at the end and inserting ``formation, supervision, and 
        implementation of United States public diplomacy policies, 
        programs, and activities, including the provision of guidance 
        to Department personnel in the United States and overseas who 
        conduct or implement such policies, programs, and activities. 
        The Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy shall assist the 
        United States Agency for International Broadcasting in 
        presenting the policies of the United States clearly and 
        effectively, shall submit statements of United States policy 
        and editorial material to the Agency for broadcast

        for broadcast is reviewed expeditiously by the Department.''.
            (2) The Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy, in carrying 
        out the functions under the last sentence of section 1(b)(3) of

submitted in classified form.

SEC. 204. PUBLIC DIPLOMACY TRAINING.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Foreign Service should recruit individuals with 
        expertise and professional experience in public diplomacy.
            (2) Ambassadors should have a prominent role in the 
        formulation of public diplomacy strategies for the countries 
        and regions to which they are assigned and be accountable for 
        the operation and success of public diplomacy efforts at their 
        posts.
            (3) Initial and subsequent training of Foreign Service 
        officers should be enhanced to include information and training

    (b) Personnel.--
            (1) In the recruitment, training, and assignment of members 
        of the Foreign Service, the Secretary shall emphasize the 
        importance of public diplomacy and of applicable skills and 
        techniques. The Secretary shall consider the priority 
        recruitment into the Foreign Service, at middle-level entry, of 
        individuals with expertise and professional experience in 
        public diplomacy, mass communications, or journalism, 
        especially individuals with language facility and experience in 
        particular countries and regions.
            (2) The Secretary of State shall seek to increase the 
        number of Foreign Service officers proficient in languages

SEC. 229. ENHANCING REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT AND MAINTAINING THE UNITED 
              STATES COMMITMENT TO REFUGEES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States has a longstanding tradition of 
        providing refugee assistance and relief through the Department 
        of State's migration and refugee assistance account for 
        refugees throughout the world who have been subjected to 
        religious and other forms of persecution.
            (2) A strong refugee resettlement and assistance program is 
        a critical component of the United States' strong commitment to 
        freedom.
            (3) The United States refugee admissions program has been 
        in decline for much of the last five years, resulting in a 
        chronic inability of the United States to meet the ceiling on 
        refugee admissions that has been set by the President each 
        year.
            (4) Refugee applicants have always undergone rigorous 
        security screenings. The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks 
        on the United States has rightfully increased the awareness of 
        the need to ensure that all aliens seeking admission to the 
        United States would not endanger the United States.
            (5) Private voluntary organizations and nongovernmental 
        organizations (NGOs) have and continue to provide valuable 
        information to State Department officials for refugee 
        processing, and along with Embassy personnel, can be utilized 
        to assist in the preliminary screening of refugees so that 
        State Department officials can focus to a greater extent on 
        security.
            (6) Currently there are 15 million refugees worldwide. In 
        order to meet the ceiling set by the Administration, which has 
        been 70,000 in recent years, a broader cross-section could be 
considered for resettlement in the United States if the Department of 
State were to expand existing refugee processing priority categories in 
a reasonable and responsible manner. Expansion of refugee selection 
should include the expanded use of both the existing category reserved 
for refugees of special interest to the United States as well as the 
existing categories reserved for family reunification.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this section to provide the 
Department of State with tools to enable it to carry out its 
responsibilities with greater efficiency with respect to the 
identification and processing of refugee applicants.
    (c) Enhancement of Refugee Identification and Processing.--
            (1) In addition to traditional agencies currently used in 
        the processing of refugees for admission to the United States, 
        where applicable, the Secretary shall develop and utilize 
        partnerships with voluntary resettlement organizations that 
        permit such organizations to assist in the identification and 
        referral of refugees.
            (2) In addition to traditional agencies currently used in 
        the processing of refugees for admission to the United States, 
        where applicable, the Secretary shall utilize private voluntary 
        organizations with ties to domestic constituencies in the 
        overseas processing of refugees.
            (3) In addition to traditional agencies currently used in 
        the processing of refugees for admission to the United States, 
        where applicable, the Secretary shall establish refugee 
        response teams.
                    (A) Establishment of refugee response teams.--In 
                order to make the processing of refugees more efficient 
                and effective, enhance the quality of refugee 
                resettlement programs, and to augment the capacity of 
                the United States government to identify, process, 
                assist, and counsel individuals for eventual 
                adjudication by the Department of Homeland Security as 
                refugees, where applicable, the Secretary shall 
                establish and utilize the services of Refugee Response 
                Teams, (in this section referred to as ``RRTs''). RRTs 
                shall be coordinated by the Assistant Secretary of 
                State for Population, Refugees, and Migration, or the 
                Assistant Secretary's designee.
                    (B) Composition of the rrts.--RRTs shall be 
                comprised of representatives of nongovernmental 
                organizations and private voluntary organizations that 
                have experience in refugee law, policy and programs.
                    (C) Responsibilities of the rrts.--RRTs shall be 
                responsible for--
                            (i) monitoring refugee situations, with a 
                        view toward identifying those refugees whose 
                        best durable solution is third country 
                        resettlement;
                            (ii) preparing profiles and documentation 
                        for resettlement consideration by the United 
                        States Government;
                            (iii) augmenting or establishing an 
                        overseas operation, especially in response to 
                        urgent developments requiring quick responses 
                        or more staff resources than are available in 
                        the existing processing entities;
                            (iv) assisting with training and technical 
                        assistance to existing international 
                        organizations and other processing entities; 
                        and
                            (v) such other responsibilities as may be 
                        determined by the Secretary of State.
                    (D) Responsibilities of the secretary.--The 
                Secretary shall establish appropriate training seminars 
                for RRT personnel and make use of RRTs in situations 
                where existing mechanisms are unable to identify and 
                process refugees in a timely manner.
    (d) Performance Standards.--In consultation with private voluntary 
organizations and NGOs, the Secretary shall establish performance 
standards to ensure accountability and effectiveness in the tasks 
carried out in subsection (c).
    (e) Consideration of Various Groups.--To ensure that there is 
adequate planning across fiscal years and that both the Department of 
State's planning and processing operations result in adequate numbers 
of travel-ready refugees to fulfill the admissions goals set forth in 
the determinations on refugee admissions required by sections 207(a) 
and 207(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1157(a) and 
(b)), the Secretary of State shall work to ensure that--
            (1) those refugees in special need, including long-stayers 
        in first countries of asylum, unaccompanied refugee minors, 
        urban refugees, and refugees in women-headed households be 
        given special attention for resettlement processing;
            (2) attempts are made to expand processing of those 
        refugees of all nationalities who have close family ties to 
        citizens and residents in the United States, including spouses, 
        unmarried children, or parents of persons lawfully admitted to 
        the United States, regardless of their country of nationality, 
        country of habitual residence, or first country of asylum, as 
        well as grandparents, grandchildren, married sons or daughters, 
        or siblings of United States citizens or other persons lawfully 
        admitted to the United States;
            (3) attempts are made to expand the number of refugees 
        considered who are of special concern to the United States; and
            (4) expanded access is provided to broader categories of 
        refugees seeking admission to the United States, thus reducing 
        instances of relationship-based misrepresentation by persons 
        who are bona fide refugees but who resort to such 
        misrepresentation merely as a way to be interviewed for refugee 
        status.
    (f) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit a report to 
Congress that includes information concerning the following:
            (1) Efforts of the Secretary to utilize NGO's in refugee 
        identification, utilize private voluntary organizations in 
        processing refugees, establish and utilize RRTs, and an 
        explanation of the rationale for not using such organizations 
        and agencies in situations where the Secretary has made such a 
determination, as described in subsection (c).
            (2) Efforts of the Secretary to implement performance 
        standards and measures as described in subsection (d) and the 
        success of NGO's and private voluntary organizations in meeting 
        such standards.
            (3) Efforts of the Secretary to expand consideration of 
        various groups for refugee processing as described in 
        subsection (e).
            (4) Efforts to ensure that there is planning across fiscal 
        years so as to fulfill the refugee admissions goals set forth 
        by the President in his annual presidential determinations on 
        refugee admissions.

            (2) Issuance to bona fide citizens of the country of 
        origin.--A foreign mission may issue a consular identification 
        card only to a national of the country represented by the

        prevent duplicate or fraudulent issuance of such cards.
            (4) Address change notification requirement.--A foreign 
        mission shall require card recipients to notify the foreign 
        mission of any change of address within 30 days after such

        identification cards issued.
    (e) Failure to Adhere to Regulations.--

        mission has issued consular identification cards in violation 
        of the requirements of regulations related to the issuance of 
        such cards by foreign missions and such violation potentially 
        threatens the security of the United States or facilitates 
        fraudulent or criminal acts, the Secretary of State shall 
        notify the government of the country represented by the foreign 
        mission that the foreign mission must suspend the issuance of 
        consular identification cards until compliance with applicable 
        regulations is established.
            (2) If the foreign mission of a country fails to suspend 
        issuance of consular identification cards in accordance with a 
        notification under paragraph (1), the Secretary of State shall 
        direct consular officials in that country to cease the issuance 
        of immigrant or nonimmigrant visas, or both, to nationals of 
        that country until such time as the Secretary of State 
        determines that the foreign mission of that country is in 
        compliance with the requirements of regulations related to the 
        issuance of such cards by foreign missions.

              COUNTRIES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Surveys indicate that, in countries of predominantly 
        Muslim population, opinions of the United States and American 
        foreign policy among the general public and select audiences 
        are significantly distorted by highly negative and hostile 
        beliefs and images and that many of these beliefs and images 
        are the result of misinformation and propaganda by individuals 
        and organizations hostile to the United States.
            (2) These negative opinions and images are highly 
        prejudicial to the interests of the United States and to its 
        foreign policy.
            (3) As part of a broad and long-term effort to enhance a 
        positive image of the United States in the Muslim world, a key 
        element should be the establishment of programs to promote a 
        greater familiarity with American society and values among the 
        general public and select audiences in countries of 
        predominantly Muslim population.
    (b) Establishment of Initiatives.--The Secretary of State shall 
establish the following programs with countries with predominantly 
Muslim populations as part of the educational and cultural exchange 
programs of the Department of State for the fiscal years 2004 and 2005:
            (1) Journalism program.--A program for foreign journalists, 
        editors, media managers, and postsecondary students of 
        journalism which, in cooperation with private sector sponsors 
        to include universities, shall sponsor workshops and 
        professional training in techniques, standards, and practices 
        in the field of journalism to assist the participants to 
        achieve the highest standards of professionalism.
            (2) English language teaching.--The Secretary shall provide 
        grants to United States citizens to work in middle and 
        secondary schools as English language teaching assistants for 
        not less than an academic year. If feasible, the host 
        government or local educational agency shall share the salary 
        costs of the assistants.
            (3) Sister city partnerships.--The Secretary shall expand 
        and enhance sister-city partnerships between United States and 
        international municipalities in an effort to increase global 
cooperation at the community level. Such partnerships shall encourage 
economic development, municipal cooperation, health care initiatives, 
youth and educational programs, disability advocacy, emergency 
preparedness, and humanitarian assistance.
            (4) Civics education.--The Secretary shall establish a 
        civics education program which shall develop civics education 
        teaching curricula and materials, provide training for teachers 
        of civics, and provide English language teaching materials that 
        are designed to promote civics education. Civics education 
        programs under this paragraph shall place particular emphasis 
        on the on-site training of educators and the function of the 
        mass media within that society.
            (5) Youth ambassadors.--The Secretary shall establish a 
        program for visits by middle school students (to the extent 
        feasible) and secondary school students to the United States 
        during school holidays in their home country for periods not to 
        exceed 4 weeks and a program for academic year study in the 
        United States for secondary school students. Participating 
        students shall reflect the economic, geographic, and ethnic 
        diversity of their countries. Activities shall include cultural 
        and educational activities designed to familiarize 
        participating students with American society and values. To the 
        extent practicable, the program involving school holiday visits 
        shall be coordinated with middle and secondary schools in the 
        United States to provide for school-based activities and 
        interactions. The Secretary shall encourage the establishment 
        of direct school-to-school linkages under the programs.
            (6) Fulbright exchange program.--The Secretary shall seek 
        to substantially increase the number of awards under the J. 
        William Fulbright Educational Exchange Program to graduate

        from the United States who are applying for such awards to 
        study, teach, conduct research, or pursue scholarship in

        include awards for scholars and teachers who plan to teach 
        subjects relating to American studies.
            (7) Hubert h. humphrey fellowships.--The Secretary shall

        develop an exchange program for postgradute students seeking 
        additional training in the library sciences and related fields.

personal interviews, in a manner that is timely, while complying with 
all the application requirements, including security concerns.

                                clause (i), is an agent of such an 
                                alien, or is a principal employing such 
                                an alien as an agent, if such person 
                                has been designated by the Secretary of

           Subtitle B--United States International Leadership

SEC. 431. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``United States International 
Leadership Act of 2003''.

SEC. 432. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) International organizations and other multilateral 
        institutions play a key role in United States foreign policy 
        and serve key United States foreign policy objectives, such as 
        obligating all countries to freeze assets of terrorist groups, 
        preventing the proliferation of chemical, biological, and 
        nuclear weapons, and spearheading the fight to combat the 
        ravages of HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases.
            (2) Decisions at many international organizations, 
        including membership and key positions, remain subject to 
        determinations made by regional groups where democratic states 
        are often in the minority and where there is intensive 
        cooperation among repressive regimes. As a result, the United 
        States has often been blocked in its attempts to take action in 
        these institutions to advance its goals and objectives, 
        including at the United Nations Human Rights Commission (where 
        a representative of Libya was elected as chairman and the 
        United States temporarily lost a seat).
            (3) In order to address these shortcomings, the United 
        States must actively work to improve the workings of 
        international organizations and multilateral institutions, 
        particularly by creating a caucus of democratic countries that 
        will advance United States interests. In the Second Ministerial 
        Conference of the Community of Democracies in Seoul, Korea, on 
        November 10-20, 2002, numerous countries recommended working 
        together as a democracy caucus in international organizations 
        such as the United Nations and ensuring that international and 
        regional institutions develop and apply democratic standards 
        for member states.
            (4) In addition, the United States has shortchanged its 
        ability to influence these organizations by failing to obtain 
        enough support for positions that are congruent to or 
        consistent with United States objectives and has not done 
        enough to build expertise in the United States Government in 
        the area of multilateral diplomacy.

SEC. 433. ESTABLISHMENT OF A DEMOCRACY CAUCUS.

    (a) In General.--The President of the United States, acting through 
the Secretary of State and the relevant United States chiefs of 
mission, shall seek to establish a democracy caucus at the United 
Nations, the United Nations Human Rights Commission, the United Nations 
Conference on Disarmament, and at other broad-based international 
organizations.
    (b) Purposes of the Caucus.--A democracy caucus at an international 
organization should--
            (1) forge common positions, including, as appropriate, at 
        the ministerial level, on matters of concern before the 
        organization and work within and across regional lines to 
        promote agreed positions;
            (2) work to revise an increasingly outmoded system of 
        regional voting and decision making; and
            (3) set up a rotational leadership scheme to provide member 
        states an opportunity, for a set period of time, to serve as 
        the designated president of the caucus, responsible for serving 
        as its voice in each organization.

SEC. 434. ANNUAL DIPLOMATIC MISSIONS ON MULTILATERAL ISSUES.

    The Secretary of State, acting through the principal officers 
responsible for advising the Secretary on international organizations, 
shall ensure that a high-level delegation from the United States 
Government, on an annual basis, is sent to consult with key foreign 
governments in every region in order to promote the United States 
agenda at key international fora, such as the United Nations General 
Assembly, United Nations Human Rights Commission, the United Nations 
Education, Science, and Cultural Organization, and the International 
Whaling Commission.

SEC. 435. LEADERSHIP AND MEMBERSHIP OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS.

    (a) United States Policy.--The President, acting through the 
Secretary of State and the relevant United States chiefs of mission, 
shall use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States to--
            (1) where appropriate, reform the criteria for leadership 
        and, in appropriate cases for membership, at all United Nations 
        bodies and at other international organizations and 
        multilateral institutions to which the United States is a 
        member so as to exclude nations that violate the principles of 
        the specific organization;
            (2) make it a policy of the United Nations and other 
        international organizations and multilateral institutions, of

SEC. 505. RADIO FREE ASIA BROADCASTS INTO NORTH KOREA.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) North Korea's development of nuclear weapons and 
        missile delivery systems poses one of the gravest security 
        threats to the United States in the world.
            (2) The Kim Jong Il regime in North Korea has one of the 
        worst human rights records in the world. On April 16, 2003, the 
        United Nations Commission on Human Rights passed a resolution, 
        ``expressing its deep concern about reports of systemic, 
        widespread and grave violations of human rights'' in North 
        Korea.
            (3) In order to ensure its survival, the Kim Jong Il regime 
        makes extensive efforts to control the flow of information in 
        North Korea.
            (4) In 2002, a survey found that five of twelve ``elite'' 
        defectors from North Korea had listened to Radio Free Asia.
            (5) Radio Free Asia broadcasts only 4 hours each day into 
        North Korea.
            (6) Many North Korean citizens lack radios capable of 
        receiving Radio Free Asia broadcasts.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
Broadcasting Board of Governors should ensure that Radio Free Asia

SEC. 506. PROHIBITION ON ELIMINATION OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING IN 
              EASTERN EUROPE.

    During the 2 year period beginning on the date of the enactment of 
this Act, the Broadcasting Board of Governors may not eliminate foreign 
language broadcasting in any of the following languages: Bulgarian, 
Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Georgian, Polish, 
Slovene, Slovak, Romanian, Croatian, Armenian, and Ukrainian.

SEC. 507. CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that the overriding national 
security aspects of the international programs of the International 
Broadcasting Bureau require the assurance of uninterrupted logistic 
support under all circumstances for the programs. Therefore, it is in 
the best interests of the United States to provide a preference for 
United States contractors bidding on these projects.
    (b) Preference for United States Contractors.--Notwithstanding any 
other provision of law, in any case where there are two or more 
qualified bidders on projects of the International Broadcasting Bureau, 
including design and construction projects and projects with respect to 
transmitters, antennas, spare parts, and other technical equipment, all 
the responsive bids of United States persons and qualified United 
States joint venture persons shall be considered to be reduced by 10 
percent.
    (c) Exception.--
            (1) Subsection (b) shall not apply with respect to any 
        project of the International Broadcasting Bureau when--
                    (A) precluded by the terms of an international 
                agreement with the host foreign country;
                    (B) a foreign bidder can establish that the foreign 
                bidder is a national of a country whose government 
                permits United States contractors and suppliers the 
                opportunity to bid on a competitive and 
                nondiscriminatory basis with its national contractors 
                and suppliers, on procurement and projects related to 
                the construction, modernization, upgrading, or 
                expansion of--
                            (i) its national public radio and 
                        television sector,
                            (ii) its private radio and television 
                        sector, to the extent that such procurement or 
                        project is, in whole or in part, funded or 
                        otherwise under the control of a government 
                        agency or authority,
                    (C) the Secretary of Commerce certifies (in advance 
                of the award of the contract for that project) to the 
                Board of the International Broadcasting Bureau that the 
                foreign bidder is not receiving any direct subsidy from 
                any government, the effect of which would be to 
                disadvantage the competitive position of United States 
                persons who also bid on the project, or
                    (D) the statutes of a host foreign country prohibit 
                the use of United States contractors on such projects 
                within that country.
            (2) An exception under paragraph (1)(D) shall only become 
        effective with respect to a foreign country 30 days after the 
        Secretary of State certifies to the Committee on International 
        Relations and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of 
        Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations and the 
        Committee on Appropriations of the Senate what specific actions 
        the Secretary has taken to urge the foreign country to permit 
        the use of United States contractors on such projects.

                  Subtitle B--Global Internet Freedom

SEC. 521. SHORT TITLE.

     This subtitle may be cited as the ``Global Internet Freedom Act of 
2003''.

SEC. 522. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of 
        association are fundamental characteristics of a free society. 
        The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States 
        guarantees that ``Congress shall make no law . . . abridging 
        the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the 
people peaceably to assemble.'' These constitutional provisions 
guarantee the rights of Americans to communicate and associate with one 
another without restriction, including unfettered communication and 
association via the Internet. Article 19 of the United Nation's 
Universal Declaration of Human Rights explicitly guarantees the freedom 
to ``receive and impart information and ideas through any media and 
regardless of frontiers''.
            (2) All people have the right to communicate freely with 
        others, and to have unrestricted access to news and 
        information, on the Internet.
            (3) With nearly 10 percent of the world's population now 
        online, and more gaining access each day, the Internet stands 
        to become the most powerful engine for democratization and the 
        free exchange of ideas ever invented.
            (4) The governments of Burma, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, the 
        People's Republic of China, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Vietnam, 
        among others, are taking active measures to keep their citizens 
        from freely accessing the Internet and obtaining international 
        political, religious, and economic news and information.
            (5) The Voice of America and Radio Free Asia, as well as 
        hundreds of news sources with an Internet presence, are 
        routinely being jammed by repressive governments.
            (6) Since the 1940s, the United States has deployed anti-
        jamming technologies to make Voice of America and other United 
        States Government sponsored broadcasting available to people in 
        nations with governments that seek to block news and 
        information.
            (7) The United States Government has thus far commenced 
        only modest steps to fund and deploy technologies to defeat 
        Internet censorship.
            (8) The success of United States policy in support of 
        freedom of speech, press, and association requires continued 
        efforts to defeat totalitarian and authoritarian controls on 
        news and information over the Internet.

SEC. 523. PURPOSES.

     The purposes of this subtitle are--
            (1) to adopt an effective and robust global Internet 
        freedom policy;
            (2) to establish an office within the Broadcasting Board of 
        Governors with the sole mission of countering Internet jamming 
        and blocking by utilizing available anti-jamming technology;
            (3) to expedite the development and deployment of 
        technology to protect Internet freedom around the world; and
            (4) to bring to bear the pressure of the free world on 
        repressive governments guilty of Internet censorship and the 
        intimidation and persecution of their citizens who use the 
        Internet.

SEC. 524. DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF TECHNOLOGIES TO DEFEAT INTERNET 
              JAMMING AND CENSORSHIP.

    (a) Establishment of Office of Global Internet Freedom.--The 
Broadcasting Board of Governors shall establish an Office of Global 
Internet Freedom (hereinafter in this subtitle referred to as the 
``Office''). The Office shall develop and implement a comprehensive 
global strategy to combat state-sponsored and state-directed Internet 
jamming and persecution of those who use the Internet.
    (b) Cooperation of Other Federal Departments and Agencies.--Each 
department and agency of the United States Government shall cooperate 
fully with, and assist in the implementation of, the strategy developed 
by the Office and shall make such resources and information available 
to the Office as is necessary to the achievement of the purposes of 
this subtitle.
    (c) Cooperation with Department of State.--The Office shall assist 
the Secretary of State in preparing portions of the country reports on 
human rights practices that address Internet accessibility.
    (d) Report to Congress.--Nine months after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Broadcasting Board of Governors shall submit 
to the Congress a report on the status of foreign government 
interference with Internet use and of efforts by the United States to 
counter such interference. The report shall list the countries that 
pursue policies of Internet censorship, blocking, and other abuses; 
provide information concerning the government agencies or quasi-
governmental organizations that implement Internet censorship; and 
describe with the greatest particularity practicable the technological 
means by which such blocking and other abuses are accomplished. In the 
discretion of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, such report may be 
submitted in both a classified and nonclassified version. One year 
after the date of submission of such report, the Office shall submit a 
second report.
    (e) Limitation on Authority.--Nothing in this subtitle shall be 
interpreted to authorize any action by the United States to interfere 
with foreign national censorship in furtherance of legitimate law 
enforcement aims consistent with the Universal Declaration of Human 
Rights.

2003''.

SEC. 602. DEFINITIONS.

    In this title, the term ``free media'' means individuals or 
organizations engaged in the gathering and distribution of news and 
information free of direct or indirect governmental control.

SEC. 603. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are 
        fundamental human rights enshrined in international law.
            (2) The United States has a national interest in promoting 
        these freedoms by supporting free media abroad, which is 
        essential to the development of free and democratic societies 
        consistent with our own.
            (3) Free media is undermined, endangered, or nonexistent in 
        many repressive and transitional societies around the world, 
        including in Eurasia, Africa, and the Middle East.
            (4) Free media is suppressed by foreign governments by a 
        variety of means, including state censorship, legal 
        restriction, financial pressure, and physical intimidation.
            (5) Unprofessional and unethical media that violate widely 
        accepted standards of professional journalism and editorial 
        practice compromises the ability of a free media to contribute 
        to open, fair, and constructive democratic debate.
            (6) Unprofessional and unethical media includes media that 
        violate the standards set in the International Covenant on 
        Civil and Political Rights, which includes article 20, section 
        2 of the Covenant which states that ``Any advocacy of national, 
        racial, or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to 
        discrimination, hostility, or violence shall be prohibited by 
        law.''.
            (7) Individuals lacking access to a plurality of free media 
        are vulnerable to misinformation and propaganda and are 
        potentially more likely to adopt anti-American views.
            (8) Foreign governments have a responsibility to actively 
        and publicly discourage and rebut unprofessional and unethical 
        media while respecting journalistic integrity and editorial 
        independence.
            (9) Past and continuing United States Government efforts to 
        promote free media through training and technical support have 
        advanced United States national interests by contributing to 
        the promotion of human rights and democracy worldwide.
            (10) Support for free media must be an integral part of 
        United States foreign policy, including public diplomacy and 
        United States international broadcasting, and should be 
        coordinated across government agencies and with international, 
        bilateral, and private donor organizations toward achieving the 
        shared goal of developing professional, ethical, diversified, 
        sustainable, independent, indigenous media worldwide.

SEC. 604. STATEMENTS OF POLICY.

    It shall be the policy of the United States, acting through the 
Secretary of State, to--
            (1) make the promotion of press freedoms and free media 
        worldwide a priority of United States foreign policy and an 
        integral component of United States public diplomacy;
            (2) respect the journalistic integrity and editorial 
        independence of free media worldwide;
            (3) use widely accepted standards for professional and 
        ethical journalistic and editorial practices in assessing 
        international media; and
            (4) discourage incitement to discrimination, hostility, or 
        violence, based on nationality, race, or religion, as described 
        in article 20, section 2, of the International Covenant on 
        Civil and Political Rights, and develop a strategy to respond 
        to it.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the fiscal years 
2004 and 2005, any report required by law or otherwise requested to be

SEC. 702. REPORTS CONCERNING THE CAPTURE AND PROSECUTION OF 
              PARAMILITARY AND OTHER TERRORIST LEADERS IN COLOMBIA.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) As reported in the Department of State report Patterns 
        of Global Terrorism 2001, the United Self-Defense Forces of 
        Colombia (also referred to as ``AUC'' or ``paramilitaries'') 
        have been designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the 
        United States primarily because of their increasing reliance on 
        terrorist methods, such as the use of massacres, to 
        purposefully displace segments of the population as retaliation 
        for allegedly supporting the AUC's rival organizations, the 
        Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National 
        Liberation Army (ELN) of Colombia. According to the report, the 
        paramilitaries also use terrorist tactics to compete for 
        narcotics-trafficking corridors and prime coca-growing terrain.
            (2) The Department of State concluded in the 2001 Country 
        Report on Human Rights Practices that despite increased efforts 
        by the Government of Colombia to combat and capture members of 
        paramilitary groups, security forces sometimes illegally 
        collaborate with paramilitaries forces and often fail to take 
        action to prevent paramilitary attacks which lead to serious 
        abuses of human rights.
            (3) In September 2002, Amnesty International, Human Rights 
        Watch, and the Washington Office on Latin America released a 
        report which argued that the Colombian Government had not made 
        substantial progress toward suspending officers implicated in 
        human rights abuses, conducting effective judicial 
        investigations of such abuses, or breaking the persistent links 
        between some units of the Colombian military and paramilitary 
        groups.
            (4) In February 2003, the United Nations High Commissioner 
        for Human Rights in Colombia reported that some units of the 
        Colombian Security Forces continued to collude openly with 
        illegal paramilitary groups in operations which resulted in 
        violations of human rights.
            (5) The Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, 2003 
        (Public Law 108-7) made available not less than $5,000,000 to 
        support a Colombian Armed Forces unit which is dedicated to 
        apprehending leaders of Colombian paramilitary organizations.
    (b) Reports to Congress.--Not later than 30 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, and every 180 days thereafter, the Secretary of 
State, after consulting with internationally recognized human rights 
organizations pursuant to the procedures required in section 564(b) of 
the Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, 2003, shall submit a 
report, in unclassified form (with a classified annex if necessary), on 
the specific measures that the Colombian authorities are taking to 
apprehend effectively and prosecute aggressively leaders of 
paramilitary organizations, to the Committee on International Relations 
of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations 
of the Senate.
    (c) Contents of Reports.--Each report submitted pursuant to 
subsection (b) shall--
            (1) identify which Colombian Armed Forces units are 
        receiving assistance to apprehend leaders of Colombian 
        paramilitary organizations;
            (2) describe the amount and purposes of such assistance;
            (3) describe operations by Colombian security forces to 
        apprehend and arrest leaders of Colombian paramilitary 
        organizations;
            (4) list the number of detentions, captures, and arrests of 
        leaders of Colombian paramilitary organizations, disaggregating 
        the number according to those detentions, captures, and arrests 
        which were carried out by Colombian security forces identified 
        under paragraph (1);
            (5) briefly describe the status of investigations and 
        prosecutions of cases by the Colombian Attorney General's 
        office involving the arrests of leaders of Colombian 
        paramilitary organizations; and
            (6) estimate the number of hours of use by the Colombian 
        military of helicopters provided by the United States under 
        Plan Colombia and successor programs to apprehend the leaders 
        of Colombian paramilitary organizations, as well as leaders of 
        the FARC and ELN, including those individuals who have United 
        States indictments pending against them.

SEC. 704. REPORT CONCERNING THE RETURN OF PORTRAITS OF HOLOCAUST 
              VICTIMS TO THE ARTIST DINA BABBITT.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Dina Babbitt (formerly known as Dinah Gottliebova), a 
        United States citizen, has requested the return of watercolor 
        portraits she painted while suffering a one and one-half year 
        long internment at the Auschwitz death camp during World War 
        II, where she was ordered to paint portraits by the infamous 
        war criminal Dr. Josef Mengele.
            (2) Congress has previously considered the issue, under the 
        Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 (Public 
        Law 107-228), and urged the Administration to facilitate the 
        return of the paintings to Dina Babbitt.
            (3) The Administration has not yet reported any progress in 
        furthering this goal, nor has the Secretary reported on the 
        status of any negotiations held with the intent of furthering 
        this goal.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress--
            (1) continues to recognize 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 of the United States to make all 
        necessary efforts to retrieve the 7 watercolor portraits 
        painted by Dina Babbitt, during her internment at the Auschwitz 
        death camp; and
            (3) urges the Secretary of State to make immediate 
        diplomatic efforts to facilitate the transfer of the 7 original 
        watercolors painted by Dina Babbitt from the Auschwitz-Birkenau 
        State Museum to Dina Babbitt, their rightful owner.
    (c) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than 180 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit a 
report to the appropriate congressional committees, describing all 
diplomatic efforts the United States has taken to facilitate the return

SEC. 706. REPORT CONCERNING THE CONFLICT IN UGANDA.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
United States should--
            (1) exhaust all diplomatic means and pressures, including 
        the creation of a United States role in negotiating 
        humanitarian access to hitherto inaccessible populations which 
        would offer an opportunity to bring the warring parties 
        together to build confidence, to support an immediate peaceful 
        resolution to the 16-year old conflict in Northern Uganda that 
        has--
                    (A) killed an estimated 23,000 people, including 
                12,000 civilians,
                    (B) resulted in the forced abduction, sexual 
                servitude, and armed recruitment of between 16,000 to 
                26,000 Ugandan children by the Lord's Resistance Army, 
                a renegade army that has in the past sought refuge in 
                southern Sudan and raided villages in northern Uganda,
                    (C) displaced over 800,000 Ugandan citizens and 
                Sudanese refugees,
                    (D) resulted in the death and abduction of 
                humanitarian aid workers, and
                    (E) gravely inhibited the delivery of emergency 
                assistance and food aid to nearly 1 million northern 
                Ugandan civilians dependent on such assistance for 
                survival;
            (2) urge rebel forces to stop the abduction of children, 
        urge all forces to stop the use of child soldiers, and seek the 
        release of all forcibly-held children;
            (3) make available technical assistance resources to seek, 
        track, and stop funding for the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) 
        from all sources and condemn all governments and organizations 
        who do assist the LRA;
            (4) monitor and support negotiations conducted by third-
        party institutions for an immediate cease-fire between the LRA 
        and the Ugandan Government, and to explore the possibility of 
        facilitating the creation of mechanisms for an international 
        monitoring team to enforce this cease-fire as the first step in 
        the process toward a permanent peace;
            (5) continue supporting the Sudan Peace Process and 
        Danforth Initiative, which includes peace talks, donor 
        coordination, regional support, civilian protection and 
        monitoring, and cease-fire verification and consider modeling 
        aspects of this process in northern Uganda;
            (6) make available sufficient resources to meet the 
        immediate relief of the towns and cities supporting large 
        displaced populations, including food, clean water, medicine, 
        shelter, and clothing;
            (7) make available increased resources for assistance to 
        released and returned abducted children and child soldiers and 
        ensure that amnesty is provided when appropriate;
            (8) work with other donors and the Ugandan Government to 
        increase resources and technical support to the Uganda Amnesty 
        Commission for the increased demobilization of rebel 
        combatants;
            (9) examine ways in which development assistance can help 
        those living in protective villages in northern Uganda return 
        to and cultivate farmland; and
            (10) condition military assistance to Uganda on its 
        international compliance with sustained troop withdrawals from 
        the Democratic Republic of Congo where the presence of Ugandan 
        armies has contributed to the violence and instability in the 
        region.
    (b) Reports to Congress.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, and not later than April 1 of each 
subsequent year, the Secretary shall submit to the appropriate 
congressional committees a report on the comprehensive actions of the 
United States in seeking a peaceful and immediate solution to conflict 
in northern Uganda as well as humanitarian assistance efforts to the 
region, including efforts to advance each area addressed in subsection 
(a).

        problems and challenges.
            (2) The situation in Haiti is increasingly cause for alarm

        at the earliest possible date.
            (2) A description of the activities that the United States 
        Government anticipates initiating to resolve the political 
        crisis and promote free and fair elections in Haiti.
            (3) An assessment of whether Resolution 822 issued by the 
        Permanent Council of the Organization of American States on 
        September 4, 2002, is an appropriate framework for a 
        multilateral approach to resolving the political and economic 
        crises in Haiti.
            (4) A description of the status of efforts to release the 
        approximately $146,000,000 in loan funds that have been 
        approved by the Inter-American Development Bank to Haiti for 
        the purposes of rehabilitating rural roads, reorganizing the 
        health sector, improving potable water supply and sanitation, 
        and providing basic education, a description of any obstacles 
        that are delaying the release of the loan funds, and

SEC. 708. REPORT ON THE EFFECTS OF PLAN COLOMBIA ON ECUADOR.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Section 695 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, 
        Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-228) required the Secretary of 
        State to submit a report to Congress on the impact of Plan 
        Colombia on Ecuador and the other adjacent countries to 
        Colombia within 150 days after the date of the enactment of 
        that Act.
            (2) The 150 day time period for the submission of such 
        report has lapsed without a report being submitted to the 
        Congress.
            (3) There continues to be growing alarm concerning the 
        spillover effect of Plan Colombia on Ecuador, a frontline 
        state, especially in the northern region of Ecuador which 
        includes the Sucumbios province.
    (b) Report to Congress.--Not later than 30 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit a report 
to the appropriate congressional committees which sets forth--
                    (A) a statement of policy and comprehensive 
                strategy for United States activities in Colombia 
                related to the impact of Plan Colombia on Ecuador and 
                the other adjacent countries to Colombia; and
                    (B) the reasons for the failure of the Department 
                of State to submit the report required by section 695 
                of Public Law 107-228 within the time period mandated 
                by law.

SEC. 709. REPORT ON ACTIONS TAKEN BY PAKISTAN.

    For each of fiscal years 2004 and 2005, the President shall prepare 
and transmit to the appropriate congressional committees a report that 
contains a description of the extent to which the Government of 
Pakistan--
            (1) has closed all known terrorist training camps operating 
        in Pakistan and Pakistani-held Kashmir;
            (2) has established serious and identifiable measures to 
        prohibit the infiltration of Islamic extremists across the 
        ``Line of Control'' (LoC) into India; and
            (3) has ceased the transfer of weapons of mass destruction, 
        including any associated technologies, to any third country or 
        terrorist organization.

SEC. 710. REPORT ON DEMOCRACY IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Although 34 out of 35 countries in the Western 
        Hemisphere have held elections for civilian leaders of 
        national, regional, and local governments, many of these 
        countries have failed to successfully develop independent 
        democratic institutions, transparent and accountable 
        governance, and effective means of guaranteeing the rule of 
        law, which are key components of a fully functioning democracy.
            (2) The rule of law, independent democratic institutions, 
        and transparent, accountable governance are essential for 
        guaranteeing human rights, especially civil, political, and 
        labor rights.
            (3) The rule of law, independent democratic institutions, 
        and transparent accountable governance are also necessary for 
        promoting successful economic development and reliable trading 
        and investment mechanisms.
            (4) In part because of the lack of these three factors, 
        progress on human rights and economic development has lagged or 
        been uneven in much of the Western Hemisphere, leading some to 
        question the benefits of democracy itself as a path for 
        improving the lives of individuals in the hemisphere.
            (5) For democracy to continue in many of these countries, 
        for human rights to improve, and for regional economic 
        integration to be successful, the rule of law, independent 
        democratic institutions, and transparent accountable governance 
        must be strengthened.
            (6) As a strong supporter of democracy and human rights and 
        as an advocate of regional economic integration, it is in the 
        interests of the United States to enhance its efforts to 
        promote a deepening of democracy in the Western Hemisphere, 
        particularly through strengthening the rule of law, independent 
        democratic institutions, and transparent accountable 
        governance.
    (b) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment 
of this Act, the Secretary, in consultation with the heads of other 
Federal departments and agencies as necessary, shall prepare and submit 
to the appropriate congressional committees a report on the state of 
democracy in each country in the Western Hemisphere (other than the 
United States and Canada). For each such country, the report shall 
provide the following:
            (1) A description of its system of government, including 
        schedule of elections, manner of judicial appointments, and 
        responsibilities of each branch of government.
            (2) An assessment of--
                    (A) the state of the rule of law;
                    (B) the power and independence of each branch of 
                government and institutions;
                    (C) the transparence and accountability in 
                governance; and
                    (D) the effect on human rights, particularly civil 
                and political rights, caused by the presence (or lack 
                thereof) of any of the factors in subparagraphs (A) 
                through (C); and
                    (E) the effect on economic development caused by 
                the presence (or lack thereof) of any of the factors in 
                subparagraphs (A) through (C).
            (3) A description of efforts to strengthen the rule of law, 
        independent institutions, or transparent governance in the 
        country, whether through local efforts or through efforts 
        funded or implemented by the United States, the Organization of 
        American States (OAS), or others.

SEC. 711. REPORT CONCERNING INTERNAL AND INTRA-REGIONAL CONFLICTS IN 
              THE GREAT LAKES REGION OF AFRICA.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Great Lakes region of Central Africa has a history 
        of colonial based ethnic divisions, political violence, and 
        civil wars which have perpetuated conditions conducive to 
        chronic poverty and turmoil over the past decade. The countries 
        of the Great Lakes region are heavily embroiled in the 
        conflicts within their neighbors borders. At different times, 
        the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has involved 
        more outside countries than any other contemporary war in 
        Africa's history, (including Angola, Rwanda, Uganda, Zimbabwe, 
        Burundi, Sudan, Chad, Namibia, and Central African Republic).
            (2) The region is hallmarked by genocide, the recruitment 
        of child soldiers, war crimes, systematic rape of women and 
        violence directed against children, corruption, and the illegal 
        exploitation of natural resources on a global scale. Civil 
        wars, conflicts over natural resources, and structural violence 
        in the Great Lakes have resulted in--
                    (A) the death of approximately three million people 
                through direct and indirect causes of the war in the 
                DRC since 1998;
                    (B) the deaths of at least 800,000 people during 
                the 1994 genocide in Rwanda;
                    (C) the deaths of an estimated 300,000 people 
                through direct and indirect causes of the war in 
                Burundi since 1993;
                    (D) the deaths of thousands in Uganda;
                    (E) the forced abduction, sexual servitude, and 
                armed recruitment of thousands of children;
                    (F) the displacement of millions of Ugandan, 
                Burundian, Congolese, Rwandan, and Sudanese refugees;
                    (G) the death and abduction of humanitarian aid 
                workers throughout the region; and
                    (H) grave disruptions in the delivery of emergency 
                assistance and food aid to millions of civilians in 
                northern Uganda, eastern Congo, and Burundi dependent 
                on such assistance for survival.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
United States should--
            (1) exhaust all diplomatic means and utilize all foreign 
        policy instruments to help peacefully resolve conflicts in the 
        Great Lakes region by supporting both national and regional 
        political, economic, and social initiatives conducive to 
        fostering African-led peace, reconstruction, and political and 
        economic institutional and structural transformation processes 
        in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of 
        Congo;
            (2) urge all rebel forces to stop the abduction of 
        children, urge all armed forces to stop the use of child 
        soldiers, and seek the release of all forcibly-held children;
            (3) make available technical assistance resources to seek, 
        track, and stop funding for all armed extremist paramilitary 
        and militarist rebel organizations from all sources and condemn 
        all governments and organizations who do assist such groups;
            (4) monitor and support negotiations conducted by third-
        party institutions for an immediate end of armed actions 
        between: The LRA and the Ugandan Government; the RCD factions 
        and MLC and the government of Democratic Republic of the Congo 
        under the terms of the Lusaka Accords; the FDD and the 
        Burundian Government under the terms of the Arusha Accords;
            (5) explore the possibility of facilitating the creation of 
        mechanisms for an international monitoring team to enforce 
        cease-fires as the first step in the process toward a permanent 
        peace in the region;
            (6) continue supporting the Sudan Peace Process, the 
        Danforth Initiative, the Lusaka Accords, and the Arusha Accords 
        which includes peace talks, donor coordination, regional 
        support, civilian protection and monitoring, and cease-fire 
        verification;
            (7) make available sufficient resources to meet the 
        immediate relief needs of the towns and cities in the Great 
        Lakes region supporting large displaced populations, including 
        food, clean water, medicine, shelter, and clothing;
            (8) make available increased resources for assistance to 
        released and returned abducted children and child soldiers in 
        the Great Lakes Region and ensure that amnesty is provided when 
        appropriate;
            (9) work with other donors and the Governments of Uganda, 
        Burundi, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to 
        increase resources and technical support to both regional and 
        national combatant demobilization entities such as the Uganda 
        Amnesty Commission in Uganda and equivalent entities in 
        Burundi, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo for the 
        increased demobilization of rebel combatants;
            (10) examine ways in which development assistance (DA) can 
        help those living in protective villages in northern Uganda, 
        eastern Congo, and other demilitarized areas in Rwanda and 
        Burundi to return to and cultivate farmland;
            (11) condition military assistance to any nation which acts 
        to destabilize the DRC by violating international agreements 
        regarding sustained troop withdrawals and respect for the 
        territorial integrity of the DRC; and
            (12) direct the Secretary of State to appoint a special 
        envoy to the Great Lakes region to oversee cross-cutting 
        security and economic policies in the region.
    (c) Reports to Congress.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, and not later than April 1 of each 
subsequent year, the Secretary should submit to the appropriate 
congressional committees a report on the comprehensive actions taken by 
the United States in promoting peaceful and immediate solutions to the 
internal and intra-regional conflicts in the Great Lakes region, 
including taking steps to bring an end to the illegal exploitation and 
international trade of natural resources from the Democratic Republic 
of Congo; supporting bilateral and multilateral peace keeping 
initiatives; the promotion of regional economic integration; the 
promotion of broad based democratic political processes based on the 
rule of law; the promotion of women and other previously disadvantaged 
communities as equal political and economic stakeholders in societies; 
and humanitarian assistance efforts in the region, including efforts to 
advance each area addressed in subsection (a).

SEC. 712. REPORT CONCERNING OBSERVER STATUS FOR TAIWAN AT THE SUMMIT OF 
              THE WORLD HEALTH ASSEMBLY.

    Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act,

                       Subtitle B--Other Matters

SEC. 721. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO EAST TIMOR, JUSTICE, AND 
              REHABILITATION.

    The Congress--
            (1) recalls that the United Nations International 
        Commission of Inquiry concluded in January 2000 that ``the 
        Indonesian Army was responsible for the intimidation, terror, 
        killings and other acts of violence'' during East Timor's vote 
        for independence in 1999;
            (2) reiterates that justice for crimes against humanity and 
        war crimes committed in East Timor during the vote for 
        independence in 1999 is crucial for peace, reconciliation, and 
        the ongoing nation-building process in East Timor and 
        Indonesia;
            (3) finds that the ad hoc Human Rights Court on East Timor 
        established by the Indonesian Government in 2001 has 
        inadequately brought to justice the perpetrators of these 
        crimes as eleven of fourteen defendants have been acquitted as 
        a result of poor indictments and the absence of an adequate 
        witness protection program, and four of the five sentences 
        imposed have been less than the minimum allowed under the 
        Indonesian Human Rights Law;
            (4) supports the work of the Joint United Nations-East 
        Timor Serious Crimes Unit (SCU), which filed indictments 
        against high-ranking Indonesian officers who were allegedly 
        involved in the crimes, including Gen. Wiranto, Maj. Gen. Kiki 
        Syahnakri, Maj. Gen. Zacky Anwar Makarim, Maj. Gen. Adam 
        Damiri, Col. Suratman, Col. Noer Muis, Col. Yayat Sudrajat and 
        former Governor Abilio Soares, and expresses its strong 
        disappointment that the Indonesian Government has stated its 
        intention to ignore the indictments;
            (5) calls on the State Department and the United States 
        Mission to the United Nations to push for a comprehensive 
        United Nations review of the Indonesian ad hoc Human Rights 
        Court on East Timor, including a review of the conduct of 
        trials, the indictment strategy by the prosecutors and its 
adherence to the international standards, and urges the State 
Department to consider alternative mechanisms of justice for East 
Timor, including the establishment of an ad hoc international tribunal; 
and
            (6) urges the Indonesian Government to fully cooperate with 
        the joint United Nations-East Timor Serious Crimes Unit (SCU) 
        and encourages the United States to urge the Indonesian 
        Government to fully cooperate with the SCU.

SEC. 722. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING HUMAN RIGHTS AND JUSTICE IN 
              INDONESIA.

    The Congress--
            (1) notes with grave concern that members of the Indonesian 
        security forces, particularly the Army Special Forces 
        (Kopassus) and the Police Mobile Brigade (Brimob), continue to 
        commit many serious human rights violations, including 
        extrajudicial killings, torture, rape, and arbitrary detention, 
        particularly in areas of conflict such as Aceh, Papua, the 
        Moluccas, and Central Sulawesi;
            (2) notes with grave concern that the Government of 
        Indonesia largely fails to hold soldiers and police accountable 
        for extrajudicial killings and other serious human rights 
        abuses, both past and present;
            (3) condemns the intimidation and harassment of human 
        rights and civil society organizations and activists by members 
        of Indonesian security forces and by military-backed militia 
        groups, particularly in Aceh and Papua;
            (4) notes with concern the Indonesian military's resistance 
        to civilian control and oversight, its lack of budgetary 
        transparency, and its continuing emphasis on internal security 
        within Indonesia;
            (5) urges the Indonesian government and military to provide 
        full, active, and unfettered cooperation with the investigation 
        of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States 
        Department of Justice into the August 31, 2002 attack near 
        Timika, Papua, which killed three people (including two 
        Americans, Rick Spier and Ted Burgon), and injured 12 others, 
        and which appears likely to have been perpetrated at least in 
        part by members of the Indonesian military;
            (6) commends the December 2002 signing of the Framework 
        Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities in Aceh, but condemns the 
        recent outbreaks of violence and militia activity that appear 
        calculated to subvert that cease-fire agreement;
            (7) notes with grave concern the continued detention of 
        Muhammad Nazar, and the fact that those responsible for the 
        murders of other prominent members of civil society in Aceh, 
        such as Jafar Siddiq Hamzah, Sukardi, Sulaiman Ahmad, Tengku 
        Safwan Idris, Nashiruddin Daud, and Zaini Sulaiman, still have 
        not been apprehended, prosecuted, or punished;
            (8) commends the ``Zone of Peace'' initiative in Papua, 
        which has brought together civic, religious, governmental, and 
        police representatives to discuss productive means of avoiding 
        conflict, but expresses concern at the refusal of the 
        Indonesian military to participate in that effort; and
            (9) encourages the Government of Indonesia to expedite the 
        reunification of separated East Timorese children with their 
        families, and to hold legally accountable those individuals and 
        organizations responsible for taking those children and for 
        obstructing reunification efforts.

SEC. 723. AMENDMENT TO THE INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ACT OF 1998.

fiscal year'' after ``2003''.

SEC. 724. SENSE OF CONGRESS WITH RESPECT TO HUMAN RIGHTS IN CENTRAL 
              ASIA.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, 
        Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan are providing the 
        United States with assistance in the war in Afghanistan, from 
        military basing and overflight rights to the facilitation of 
        humanitarian relief.
            (2) In turn, the United States victory over the Taliban in 
        Afghanistan provides important benefits to the Central Asian 
        nations by removing a regime that threatened their security and 
        by significantly weakening the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, 
        a terrorist organization that had previously staged armed raids 
        from Afghanistan into the region.
            (3) The United States has consistently urged the nations of 
        Central Asia to open their political systems and economies and 
        to respect human rights, both before and since the attacks of 
        September 11, 2001.
            (4) Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and 
        Uzbekistan are members of the United Nations and the 
        Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), 
        both of which confer a range of obligations with respect to 
        human rights on their members.
            (5) While the United States recognizes marked differences 
        among the social structures and commitments to democratic and 
        economic reform of the Central Asian nations, the United States 
        notes nevertheless, according to the State Department Country 
        Reports on Human Rights Practices, that all five governments of 
        such nations, to differing degrees, restrict freedom of speech 
        and association, restrict or ban the activities of human rights 
        organizations and other nongovernmental organizations, harass 
        or prohibit independent media, imprison political opponents, 
        practice arbitrary detention and arrest, and engage in torture 
        and extrajudicial executions.
            (6) By continuing to suppress human rights and to deny 
        citizens peaceful, democratic means of expressing their 
        convictions, the nations of Central Asia risk fueling popular 
        support for violent and extremist movements, thus undermining 
        the goals of the war on terrorism.
            (7) President George W. Bush has made the defense of human 
        dignity, the rule of law, limits on the power of the state, 
        respect for women and private property, free speech, equal 
        justice, religious tolerance strategic goals of United States 
foreign policy in the Islamic world, arguing that ``a truly strong 
nation will permit legal avenues of dissent for all groups that pursue 
their aspirations without violence''.
            (8) Congress has expressed its desire to see deeper reform 
        in Central Asia in past resolutions and other legislation, most 
        recently conditioning assistance to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan 
        on their progress in meeting commitments to the United States 
        on human rights and democracy.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the governments of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, 
        Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan should accelerate democratic 
        reforms and fulfill their human rights obligations, including, 
        where appropriate, by--
                    (A) releasing from prison anyone jailed for 
                peaceful political activism or the nonviolent 
                expression of their political or religious beliefs;
                    (B) fully investigating any credible allegations of 
                torture and prosecuting those responsible;
                    (C) permitting the free and unfettered functioning 
                of independent media outlets, independent political 
                parties, and nongovernmental organizations, including 
                by easing registration processes;
                    (D) permitting the free exercise of religious 
                beliefs and ceasing the persecution of members of 
                religious groups and denominations that do not engage 
                in violence or political change through violence;
                    (E) holding free, competitive, and fair elections; 
                and
                    (F) making publicly available documentation of 
                their revenues and punishing those engaged in official 
                corruption;
            (2) the President, the Secretary of State, and the 
        Secretary of Defense should--
                    (A) continue to raise at the highest levels with 
                the governments of the nations of Central Asia specific 
                cases of political and religious persecution, and to 
                urge greater respect for human rights and democratic 
                freedoms at every diplomatic opportunity;
                    (B) take progress in meeting the goals specified in 
                paragraph (1) into account when determining the scope 
                and nature of United States diplomatic and military 
                relations and assistance with each of such governments;
                    (C) ensure that the provisions of foreign 
                operations appropriations Acts are fully implemented to 
                ensure that no United States assistance benefits 
                security forces in Central Asia that are implicated in 
                violations of human rights;
                    (D) press the Government of Turkmenistan to 
                implement the helpful recommendations contained in the 
                2003 resolution on Turkmenistan of the United Nations 
                Commission on Human Rights and the so-called ``Moscow 
                Mechanism'' Report of the Organization for Security and 
                Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), respect the right of all 
                prisoners to due process and a fair trial and release 
                democratic activists and their family members from 
                prison;
                    (E) urge the Government of Russia not to extradite 
                to Turkmenistan members of the political opposition of 
                Turkmenistan;
                    (F) work with the Government of Kazakhstan to 
                create a political climate free of intimidation and 
                harassment, including releasing political prisoners and 
                permitting the return of political exiles, and to 
                reduce official corruption, including by urging the 
                Government of Kazakhstan to cooperate with the ongoing 
                United States Department of Justice investigation;
                    (G) support through United States assistance 
                programs individuals, nongovernmental organizations, 
                and media outlets in Central Asia working to build more 
                open societies, to support the victims of human rights 
                abuses, and to expose official corruption; and
                    (H) press the Government of Uzbekistan to implement 
                fully the recommendations made to the Government of 
                Uzbekistan by the United Nations' Special Rapporteur on

            (3) increased levels of United States assistance to the 
        governments of the nations of Central Asia made possible by 
        their cooperation in the war in Afghanistan can be sustained 
        only if there is substantial and continuing progress toward

SEC. 727. CONCERNING THE SPREAD OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction 
        presents a direct threat to the stability, security, and safety 
        of nations around the globe.
            (2) Combatting the spread of such weapons is a 
        responsibility borne by all nations.
            (3) United States efforts to stop the further spread of 
        these weapons can be further enhanced by cooperative efforts 
        between the United States and the European Union.
            (4) There are many different components in this effort that 
        require a comprehensive approach, immediate attention, and 
        vigorous action, including the ``10+10 over 10 Initiative'' 
        agreed to by the United States and many members of the European 
        Union.
            (5) Stopping the spread of weapons of mass destruction is 
        made more difficult when states willingly participate in, or 
        contribute to, their development or their sale or transfer to 
        other nations.
            (6) Stopping the spread of weapons of mass destruction is 
        made more difficult when private companies willingly 
        participate in, or contribute to, their development or their 
        sale or transfer to other nations.
            (7) United States security and safety is undermined when 
        companies engage in such commerce.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress call on the European Union 
to--
            (1) develop an aggressive and robust regulatory system 
        designed to--
                    (A) investigate allegations of companies 
                contributing to the development of weapons of mass 
                destruction or their sale or transfer to other nations;
                    (B) isolate and comdemn companies found to 
                participate in, or contribute to, the development of 
                such weapons or their sale or transfer to other 
                nations; and
                    (C) develop a punitive response designed to punish 
                such companies, thereby preventing further actions on 
                their part and discouraging other companies from 
                engaging in such actions;
            (2) condemn, by name, states known to be contributing to 
        the development or spread of weapons of mass destruction; and
            (3) develop appropriate punitive measures designed to 
        discourage further actions.

SEC. 728. INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY INFORMATION PROGRAM.

    (a) In General.--The Department of State shall provide to other 
countries, as appropriate, the scientific evidence on the benefits, 
safety, and potential uses of agricultural biotechnology.
    (b) Specific Objectives.--The Secretary of State shall--
            (1) chair an interagency task force comprised of 
        representatives of the Department of Commerce, the Department 
        of Agriculture, and the United States Agency for International 
        Development to develop and disseminate accurate written 
        scientific information on the potential benefits of 
        agricultural biotechnology for human and animal nutrition, the 
        environment, food and feed production, agricultural 
        sustainability, and bioenergy development;
            (2) coordinate the development and dissemination of 
        scientifically-based facts regarding, the safety and regulation 
        of biotechnology-derived food and feed products;
            (3) instruct the United States Agency for International 
        Development (USAID) to develop a program to demonstrate the 
        potential benefits of agricultural biotechnology to develop 
        products that can be grown under local soil and climate 
        conditions and better meet the health and nutritional needs of 
        local populations in the developing world; and
            (4) ensure that personnel undertaking these activities are 
        knowledgeable of, and disseminate information on, the United 
        States regulatory safeguards that assure food and environmental 
        safety.

SEC. 729. REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT BURDENSHARING.

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the Secretary of State should actively encourage the 
        international community to accept refugees for resettlement on 
        a more equitable basis;
            (2) the Secretary of State should raise the issue of 
        refugee resettlement burdensharing at the United Nations and 
        other multilateral and bilateral meetings;
            (3) developed countries should be encouraged to increase 
        the percentage of the world's refugees accepted for 
        resettlement; and
            (4) the Secretary of State should encourage developing 
        stable countries in regions with refugee flows to accept for 
        resettlement as many of their neighbors as possible.

SEC. 730. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING MIGRATION ISSUES BETWEEN THE 
              UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) During President Bush's first meeting with President 
        Fox in Guanajuato, Mexico, the Presidents stated in the Joint 
        Communique of February 16, 2001 that ``we are instructing our 
        Governments to engage, at the earliest opportunity, in formal 
        high level negotiations aimed at achieving short and long-term 
        agreements that will allow us to constructively address 
        migration and labor issues between our two countries.''.
            (2) During President Fox's official visit to Washington, 
        D.C., the Joint Statement of September 6, 2001, summarized the 
        meeting as follows: ``The Presidents reviewed the progress made 
        by our joint working group on migration chaired by Secretaries 
        Powell, CastaZeda, and Creel and Attorney General Ashcroft and 
        noted this represented the most fruitful and frank dialogue we 
        have ever had on a subject so important to both nations. They 
        praised implementation of the border safety initiative, and 
        recognized that migration-related issues are deeply felt by our 
        publics and vital to our prosperity, well-being, and the kind 
        of societies we want to build. They renewed their commitment to 
        forging new and realistic approaches to migration to ensure it 
        is safe, orderly, legal and dignified, and agreed on the 
        framework within which this ongoing effort is based. This 
        includes: matching willing workers with willing employers; 
        serving the social and economic needs of both countries; 
        respecting the human dignity of all migrants, regardless of 
        their status; recognizing the contribution migrants make to 
        enriching both societies; shared responsibility for ensuring 
        migration takes place through safe and legal channels. Both 
        stressed their commitment to continue our discussions, 
        instructing the high-level working group to reach mutually 
        satisfactory results on border safety, a temporary worker 
        program and the status of undocumented Mexicans in the United 
        States. They requested that the working group provide them 
        proposals with respect to these issues as soon as possible. The 
        Presidents recognized that this is an extraordinarily 
        challenging area of public policy, and that it is critical to 
        address the issue in a timely manner and with appropriate 
        thoroughness and depth.''.
            (3) On September 7, 2001, during President Fox's historic 
        State Visit to Washington, the United States and Mexico issued 
        a joint statement instructing our cabinet-level working group 
        to provide us with specific proposals to forge a new and 
        realistic framework that will ensure a safe, legal, orderly, 
        and dignified migration flow between our countries. We have 
        today agreed that our Cabinet level migration group should 
        continue the work we charged it with in Guanajuato and 
        Washington.
            (4) When the Presidents met in Monterrey, Mexico, the 
        Presidents stated in a Joint Statement on March 22, 2002, as 
        follows: ``Slightly more than one year ago, in Guanajuato, we 
        talked about migration as one of the major ties that join our 
        societies. We launched then the frankest and most productive 
        dialogue our countries have ever had on this important and 
        challenging subject. Those talks have continued over the past 
        year, and have yielded a clearer assessment of the scope and 
        nature of this issue. This bond between our nations can render 
        countless benefits to our respective economies and families.
            (5) Over the past year, important progress has been made to 
        enhance migrant safety and particularly in saving lives by 
        discouraging and reducing illegal crossings in dangerous 
        terrain.
            (6) At the conclusion of the Mexico-United States 
        Binational Commission (BNC) meeting in Mexico City in November 
        2002, Secretary of State Powell's press conference was 
        summarized by the State Department as follows: The BNC's 
        migration working group ``affirmed our strong commitment to 
        advancing our bilateral migration agenda,'' he stressed, adding 
        that ``there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that this is a 
        priority for President Bush, just as it is a priority for 
        [Mexican] President [Vicente] Fox.''.
            (7) Secretary Powell said no schedule had been established 
        for a migration accord, but he confirmed that the United States 
        and Mexico want to come up with a series of migration 
        initiatives over the course of the next six months to a year.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) that the United States and Mexico should as soon as is 
        practicable conclude negotiations in an attempt to reach a 
        migration accord that is as comprehensive as possible and which 
        addresses the key issues of concern for both nations; and
            (2) that as part of any migration agreement between the 
        United States and Mexico, the issues of the extradition of 
        violent criminals and law enforcement cooperation between the 
        two nations be addressed.

SEC. 731. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING UNITED STATES ASSISTANCE TO 
              PALESTINIAN REFUGEES.

    The Congress--
            (1) recognizes the importance of United States humanitarian 
        assistance to Palestinian refugees as an essential component to 
        the peace process in the Middle East;
            (2) acknowledges the hardships endured by many innocent 
        Palestinian refugees in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and in 
        other neighboring countries;
            (3) notes that the United Nations High Commission for 
        Refugees (UNHCR) is the international body that seeks to find 
        ``lasting solutions'' to the plight of refugees throughout the 
        world, with the sole exception of the Palestinians, for whose 
        exclusive benefit a special agency, the United Nations Relief 
        and Works Agency (UNRWA), was established in 1950 and which 
        makes no effort to permanently resettle Palestinian refugees, 
        even those who reside under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian 
        Authority, in order to ensure the perpetuation of the problem 
        of Palestinian refugees;
            (4) recognizes that the United States has been the world's 
        leading donor to UNRWA, having provided over $2,500,000,000 to 
        UNRWA since 1950, including the provision of $110,000,000, in 
        fiscal year 2002, and that such organization has provided 
        important humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people;
            (5) notes that the United States contribution to UNRWA is 
        nearly 10 times that of the entire Arab world, and calls on 
        Arab states to assume a greater share of the burden for 
        financing UNWRA;
            (6) expresses its outrage over credible reports that UNRWA 
        facilities have been used for terrorist training and bases for 
        terrorist operations, with little attempt by the UNRWA to stop 
        or oppose such attacks or alert relevant law enforcement 
        authorities about such terrorist activities;
            (7) expresses deep concern over the textbooks and 
        educational materials used in the UNRWA educational system that 
        promote anti-Semitism, denial of the existence and the right to 
        exist of the state of Israel, and exacerbate stereotypes and 
        tensions between the Palestinians and Israelis;
            (8) strongly urges the Secretary General of the United 
        Nations to immediately take steps to comprehensively reform the 
        UNRWA so that it actively works to oppose terrorist attacks and 
        actively works to promote reconciliation and understanding 
        between the Israelis and Palestinians;
            (9) strongly urges UNRWA to meet the requirements, in 
        letter and spirit, of section 301(c) of the Foreign Assistance 
        Act of 1961, including by comprehensively ensuring that no 
        UNRWA assistance is rendered to anyone who has been involved 
        with terrorism at any time and that all UNRWA beneficiaries be 
        informed at the earliest possible time, and at regular 
        intervals thereafter, that anyone involved with terrorism 
        thereafter will be ineligible for UNRWA benefits;
            (10) strongly urges the Secretary of State to make UNRWA 
        reforms a priority at the United Nations by actively 
        campaigning within the United Nations to support such reforms, 
        including comprehensive and independently verifiable audits of 
        UNRWA activities and educational reform that would remove from 
        the curriculum all textbooks and educational materials that 
        promote hatred of Jews and Israel and denial of Israel's right 
        to exist and replace them with teaching materials that promote 
        Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation and mutual understanding; 
        and
            (11) notes the General Accounting Office (GAO) audit 
        required by section 580 of the FY 2003 Foreign Operations 
        Appropriations Act (Public Law 108-7), and strongly encourages 
        the GAO to conduct, as part of this audit, an investigation and 
        inspection of all recent United States assistance to UNRWA to 
        ensure that taxpayer funds are being spent effectively and are 
        not directly or indirectly supporting terrorism, anti-Semitic 
        or anti-Jewish teachings, or the glorification or incitement of 
        violence.

SEC. 732. UNITED STATES POLICY ON WORLD BANK GROUP LOANS TO IRAN.

    (a) United States Policy.--The Secretary of State (or a designee), 
in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, shall communicate 
directly with the governments of countries represented on the decision-
making boards and councils of the international financial institutions 
of the World Bank Group and consistently convey the strong opposition 
of the United States Government to any further activity in Iran by the 
international financial institutions of the World Bank Group.
    (b) Reports.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act and one year thereafter, the Secretary of State 
shall submit a report on the efforts of the Secretary to carry out 
subsection (a) to the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on International Relations of the House of Representatives 
and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate.
    (c) World Bank Group Defined.--As used in this section, the term 
``World Bank Group'' means the International Bank for Reconstruction 
and Development, the International Development Association, the 
International Financial Corporation, and the Multilateral Investment 
Guaranty Agency.

SEC. 733. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO SOVIET NUCLEAR TESTS IN 
              KAZAKHSTAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 1991, immediately after achieving independence, 
        Kazakhstan closed and sealed the world's second largest nuclear 
        test site in Semipalatinsk which had been inherited from the 
        former Soviet Union and at which more than 500 nuclear tests 
had been conducted from 1949 to 1991.
            (2) The cumulative power of explosions from those tests, 
        conducted above ground, on the ground, and underground is 
        believed to be equal to the power of 20,000 explosions of the 
        type of bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945.
            (3) More than 1,500,000 people in Kazakhstan suffered 
        because of decades of Soviet nuclear weapons testing in the 
        region.
            (4) A horrifying array of disease will continue to destroy 
        the lives of hundreds of thousands and their descendants for 
        many generations to come as a result of these tests.
            (5) Since its independence, Kazakhstan has constructed a 
        stable and peaceful state, voluntarily disarmed the world's 
        fourth largest nuclear arsenal, joined the Strategic Arms 
        Reduction Treaty (START), and became an example of responsible 
        nonproliferation of such weapons.
            (6) Kazakhstan is also doing its best to help those who 
        were exposed to the horrific nuclear experiments of the 20th 
        century but it faces daunting challenges.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of State should work to establish a joint working group with 
the Government of Kazakhstan to assist in assessing the environmental 
damage and health effects caused by Soviet nuclear testing in 
Semipalatinsk.

SEC. 734. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN.

    The Congress--
            (1) recalls that Article 4 of the United Nations 
        Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women (20 
        December 1993) outlines that states should condemn violence 
        against women and should not invoke any custom, tradition, or 
        religious consideration to avoid their obligations with respect 
        to its elimination;
            (2) recalls that Chapter 4, Section 125, of the Beijing 
        Declaration and Platform for Action, Fourth World Conference on 
        Women (15 September 1995) states that governments condemn 
        violence against women and refrain from invoking any custom, 
        tradition, or religious consideration to avoid their 
        obligations with respect to its elimination as set out in the 
        Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women;
            (3) recalls that the United States has supported both the 
        United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Violence and 
        the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action; and
            (4) reinforces the position of the United States that the 
        United States condemns violence against women and refrains from 
        invoking any custom, tradition, or religious consideration to 
        avoid this nation's obligations with respect to its elimination 
        as set out in the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence 
        against Women.

SEC. 735. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING THE TIMELY ISSUANCE OF VISAS FOR 
              RUSSIAN WEAPONS SCIENTISTS INVOLVED IN ARMS CONTROL AND 
              NONPROLIFERATION EXCHANGES WITH THE UNITED STATES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States visa approval system has in the past 
        lacked proper oversight, coordination, and supervision. A more 
        systematic, stringent, and rigorous evaluation system for visa 
        approvals is clearly in the best interests of the United 
        States.
            (2) Many distinguished scholars, professors, researchers, 
        and foreign associates of United States national academies have 
        been prevented by visa delays from entering the United States 
        for engagements at major conferences, meetings, and teaching 
        invitations at American universities.
            (3) Research collaborators for United States laboratories 
        have also been prevented from entering the United States. Their 
        absence halts projects and compromises United States 
        commitments in long-standing international cooperative 
        agreements aimed at reducing stockpiles of weapons of mass 
        destruction.
            (4) Visa restrictions came within one day of forcing the 
        cancellation of an important meeting in Washington, D.C. of the 
        National Academy of Sciences Committee on United States Russian 
        Cooperation on Nuclear Non-Proliferation.
            (5) Russian weapons scientists involved in nuclear non-
        proliferation cooperative efforts with the United States are 
        critical to American efforts to ensure that nuclear weapons-
        grade materials remain under control and out of the hands of 
        terrorists.
            (6) In a December 2002 statement, the Presidents of the 
        National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of 
        Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine found that a United 
        States approach to visas that welcomes qualified foreign 
        scientists, engineers, health professionals, and students 
        serves national goals in three distinct ways:
                    (A) It harnesses international cooperation for 
                counterterrorism.
                    (B) It builds stronger allies through scientific 
                and technical cooperation.
                    (C) It maintains United States global leadership in 
                science and technology.
            (7) The Presidents of the National Academy of Sciences, the 
        National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine 
        have found that current United States policy toward granting 
        visas, to foreign scientists is harmful to the United States 
        scientific community and to the longterm well-being of the 
        United States. They stated on December 13, 2002, that ``To make 
        our nation safer, it is extremely important that our visa 
        policy not only keep out foreigners who intend to do us harm, 
        but also facilitate the acceptance of those who bring us 
        considerable benefit. Recent efforts by our government to 
        constrain the flow of international visitors in the name of 
        national security are having serious unintended consequences 
        for American science, engineering, and medicine. The long-term 
        security of the United States depends on admitting scholars who 
        benefit our nation. In short, the United States scientific, 
        engineering, and health communities cannot hope to maintain 
        their present position of international leadership if they 
        become isolated from the rest of the world. We view this as an 
        urgent matter, one that must be promptly addressed if the 
        United States is to meet both its national security and 
        economic development goals.''.
            (8) Currently, consular officials send many visa 
        applications back to the United States for sequential security 
        clearances by several agencies, which may lead to long delays 
        in visa processing. Consular officers are subject to criminal 
        penalties if they grant a visa to a person who subsequently 
        commits a terrorist act in the United States. However, there 
        are currently no incentives for consular officers to facilitate 
        scientific exchanges, which may advance the national interest 
        of the United States.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) to the extent possible and consistent with national 
        security objectives, the United States should expedite the 
        processing of granting visas to Russian weapons scientists, 
        especially those participating in bilateral weapon disarmament 
        talks, negotiations, and exchanges, to enable them to 
        participate in cooperative nonproliferation activities with 
        their counterparts in the United States, and
            (2) the Department of State is encouraged to consider 
        streamlining the process of granting visas for such scientists 
        as follows:
                    (A) Reinstate a procedure of pre-security clearance 
                for scientists and engineers with the proper 
                credentials.
                    (B) Involve the United States scientific and 
                technical community in determining areas of particular 
                security concern.

SEC. 736. DESIGNATION OF FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.

                        take place pursuant to subparagraph (B) in 
                        response to a petition for revocation that is 
                        filed in accordance with that subparagraph, 
                        then the review shall be conducted pursuant to

                        results of such review and the applicable 
                        procedures shall not be reviewable in any 
                        court.

SEC. 737. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO REGARDING SECURITY FOR TAIWAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) For over half a century a close relationship has 
        existed between the United States and Taiwan which has been of 
        enormous economic, cultural, and strategic advantage to both 
        countries.
            (2) Taiwan today is a full-fledged democracy with a vibrant 
        economy and a vigorous multi-party political system that 
        respects human rights and the rule of law.
            (3) Taiwan is an ally of the United States, as most 
        recently evidenced by Taiwan's provision of humanitarian and 
        financial assistance to Afghanistan at the request of the 
        United States and its support for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
            (4) The security of the 23 million people in Taiwan is 
        threatened by the deployment by the People's Republic of China 
        of over 400 short-range ballistic missiles targeted at Taiwan, 
        and the purchase by the PRC of advanced weaponry systems, 
        including Su-27 and Su-30 fighter planes, Kilo submarines, and 
        Sovremenny destroyers.
            (5) Taiwan was threatened by missile exercises conducted by 
        the PRC in August 1995 and again in March 1996 when Taiwan was 
        conducting its first free and direct presidential elections.
            (6) Section 2(b)(4) of the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 
        3301(b)(4)) considers any effort to determine the future of 
        Taiwan by other than peaceful means, including by boycotts or 
        embargoes, a threat to the peace and security of the Western 
        Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States.
            (7) Section 2(b)(6) of the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 
        3301(b)(6)) requires the United States to maintain the capacity 
        to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that 
        would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic 
        system, of the people on Taiwan.
            (8) In his January 17, 2001, confirmation hearing as 
        Secretary of State, General Colin Powell stated that ``We will 
        stand by Taiwan and will provide for the defense needs of 
        Taiwan in accordance with the Taiwan Relations Act and the 
        subsequent communiques.''.
            (9) President Bush stated on April 24, 2001, that the 
        United States will do whatever it takes to help Taiwan defend 
        itself.
            (10) In his testimony before the International Relations 
        Committee of the House of Representatives and the Foreign 
        Relations Committee of the Senate in February and March of 
        2002, Admiral Dennis Blair of the United States Pacific Command 
        testified that ``China continued to build and exercise its 
        force of short-range ballistic missiles ranging Taiwan. It 
        still seeks to develop a range of military options to influence 
        and intimidate Taiwan, and has not abandoned the option of 
        using force to resolve Taiwan's status.''.
            (11) The July 2002 U.S.-China Economic and Security Review 
        Commission report to Congress stated that ``China is enhancing 
        its capability to carry out attacks across the Taiwan Strait 
        with its special operations forces, air forces and navy and 
        missiles forces with little notice,'' and ``the Commission 
        recommends that the U.S. along with its allies should continue 
        to call upon China to renounce the threat of or the use of 
        force against Taiwan.''.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) grave concerns exist concerning the deployment by the 
        People's Republic of China of hundreds of ballistic missiles 
        directed toward Taiwan, which threaten the security and 
        stability in the Taiwan Strait;
            (2) the President should direct all appropriate United 
        States officials to raise these concerns with the appropriate 
        officials from the People's Republic of China, and should seek 
        a public, immediate, and unequivocal renunciation from the 
        leaders of the People's Republic of China of any threat or use 
        of force against Taiwan;
            (3) the President should affirm with the leaders of the 
        People's Republic of China that there will not be a quid pro 
        quo between the dismantling of missiles aimed at Taiwan by the 
        People's Republic of China, and arms sales to Taiwan by the 
        United States;
            (4) China should dismantle the missiles that threaten 
        Taiwan, otherwise the President should authorize the sale of 
        the Aegis system to Taiwan, which would enable Taiwan to defend 
        itself against the threat of a missile attack by China; and
            (5) the future of Taiwan should be determined peacefully 
        and with the express consent of the people of Taiwan.

SEC. 738. SENSE OF CONGRESS IN APPRECIATION OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE 
              UNITED STATES AND REGARDING RESTORING STABILITY AND 
              SECURITY IN IRAQ.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States, with the support of forces from 
        Great Britain and other countries, historically and 
        courageously liberated Iraq in three weeks.
            (2) Conditions on the ground in parts of Iraq continue to 
        pose a grave threat to American troops, thereby complicating 
        efforts to restore law and order and essential public services 
        for Iraqis. Such efforts are further complicated by the absence 
        of effective communications with the Iraqi people.
            (3) Ultimately, maintaining law and order in Iraq and 
        preserving its territorial integrity will require the creation 
        of a professionally trained Iraqi police force and a reformed 
        Iraqi military; however, that will take a significant amount of 
        time and in the meantime international armed forces and police 
        must assume these responsibilities.
            (4) Approximately 145,000 United States troops are 
        currently deployed in Iraq, meaning that American troops 
        comprise roughly 90 percent of Coalition forces. If, as the 
        Department of Defense has stated, an additional 10,000 
        international troops join the Coalition effort in Iraq by 
        September, Americans will still comprise roughly 85 percent of 
        Coalition forces.
            (5) Maintaining the existing force level in Iraq currently 
        requires $3,900,000,000 each month.
            (6) The Department of Defense has stated that it will 
        require one year to train a new Iraqi Army of 12,000 soldiers 
        and three years to train 40,000 soldiers.
            (7) The Coalition Provisional Authority has stated that it 
        will require at least one year to recruit and train a police 
        force of 40,000 officers capable of assuming minimal policy 
        functions in Iraq, that it will require five years to recruit 
        and train a full force of 75,000 officers, and that at least 
        5500 additional international police are needed to train, 
        assist, and jointly patrol with the existing Iraqi police 
        force.
            (8) President Bush has noted that ``The rise of Iraq, as an 
        example of moderation and democracy and prosperity, is a 
        massive and long-term undertaking,'' and it is clear that 
        increasing the number of troops and police from countries other 
        than the United States will reduce risks to American soldiers 
        and the financial cost to the United States.
            (9) Secretary Rumsfeld testified that ``We certainly want 
        assistance from NATO and from NATO countries'' and it is clear 
        that involving the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as is 
        being done in Afghanistan and has been done in Kosovo and 
        Bosnia, allows the Coalition to maintain a robust military 
        presence while decreasing the exposure and risk to American 
        troops.
            (10) Rebuilding Iraq's neglected infrastructure and economy 
        and administering Iraq--including providing basic services and 
        paying public sector salaries--is likely to require tens of 
        billions of dollars over several years and projected Iraqi oil 
        revenues will be insufficient to meet these costs.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) it is in the national security interests of the United 
        States to remain engaged in Iraq in order to ensure a peaceful, 
        stable, unified Iraq with a representative government;
            (2) the President should consider requesting formally and 
        expeditiously that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
        (NATO) raise a force for deployment in post-war Iraq similar to 
        what it has done in Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo and the 
        Congress urges NATO allies and other nations to provide troops 
        and police to Coalition efforts in Iraq; and
            (3) the President should consider calling on the United 
        Nations to urge its member states to provide military forces 
        and civilian police to promote stability and security in Iraq 
        and resources to help rebuild and administer Iraq.

SEC. 740. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT CONCERNING WASTEWATER TREATMENT 
              AND THE INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND WATER COMMISSION, 
              UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The failure by the International Boundary and Water 
        Commission, United States and Mexico, to complete negotiations 
        on a new Treaty Minute with Mexico, as directed by Congress in 
        Public Law 106-457, has endangered the health of the residents 
        of San Diego County.
            (2) The continued flow of Mexican sewage on San Diego, 
        California, beaches has caused extensive and persistent beach 
        closings thereby causing economic hardship to the local 
        economy.
            (3) The International Boundary and Water Commission has 
        shown insignificant progress in negotiations with Mexico.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
United States Section of the International Boundary and Water 
Commission shall make treaty negotiations with Mexico on the 
establishment of a public-private partnership to construct and operate 
a wastewater treatment facility in Mexico as outlined in Public Law 
106-457 a priority.
    (c) Report to Congress.--The United States Section of the

direct significant resources to their new role as the central authority 
for the United States under the Hague Convention on Intercountry 
Adoption.

              ARMY AVIATION HERITAGE FOUNDATION.

    (a) Authority To Convey.--The Secretary of State may convey, 
without consideration, to the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation, a 
nonprofit organization incorporated in the State of Georgia, all right, 
title, and interest of the United States in and to a Vietnam-era Cessna 
L-19D Bird Dog aircraft (serial No. 24020, National registration number

SEC. 743. STATEMENT OF POLICY RELATING TO DEMOCRACY IN IRAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Iran is neither free nor democratic. Men and women are 
        not treated equally in Iran, women are legally deprived of 
        internationally recognized human rights, and religious freedom 
        is not respected under the laws of Iran. Undemocratic 
        institutions, such as the Guardians Council, thwart the 
        decisions of elected leaders.
            (2) The April 2003 report of the Department of State states 
        that Iran remained the most active state sponsor of terrorism 
        in 2002.
            (3) That report also states that Iran continues to provide 
        funding, safe-haven, training and weapons to known terrorist 
        groups, notably Hizballah, HAMAS, the Palestine Islamic Jihad, 
        and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
    (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States that--
            (1) currently, there is not a free and fully democratic 
        government in Iran;
            (2) the United States supports transparent, full democracy 
        in Iran;
            (3) the United States supports the rights of the Iranian 
        people to choose their system of government; and
            (4) the United States condemns the brutal treatment, 
        imprisonment and torture of Iranian civilians expressing 
        political dissent.

SEC. 744. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE EXTRADITION OF VIOLENT 
              CRIMINALS FROM MEXICO TO THE UNITED STATES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The Mexican Supreme Court ruled in October 2001 that 
        Mexico will not extradite criminals who face life sentences in 
        the United States.
            (2) Due to this ruling, the United States has been unable 
        to prosecute numerous suspects wanted for violent crimes that 
        they committed in the United States if there is a possibility 
        that these criminals will face life imprisonment.
            (3) The person or persons responsible for the April 29, 
        2002, murder of Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputy David March 
        is believed to have fled to Mexico to avoid prosecution for a 
        possible life imprisonment.
            (4) The attorneys general from all 50 States have asked 
        United States Attorney General John Ashcroft and Secretary of 
        State Colin Powell to continue to address this extradition 
        issue with their counterparts in Mexico.
            (5) The Governments of the United States and Mexico have 
        experienced positive cooperation on numerous matters relevant 
        to their bilateral relationship.
            (6) The Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs has been 
        demonstrating to the Mexican Supreme Court the international 
        ramifications of the Court's October 2001 ruling.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United 
States Government should encourage the Mexican Government to work 
closely with the Mexican Supreme Court to persuade the Court to 
reconsider its October 2001 ruling so that the possibility of life 
imprisonment will not have an effect on the timely extradition of 
criminal suspects from Mexico to the United States.

   TITLE XI--TERRORIST-RELATED PROHIBITIONS AND ENFORCEMENT MEASURES

SEC. 1101. ELIGIBILITY PROVISIONS.

    (a) Ineligibility for Terrorist Related Transactions.--Section 
3(c)(1) (22 U.S.C. 2753(c)(1)) is amended--
            (1) in each of subparagraphs (A) and (B), by striking ``or 
        any predecessor Act,'' and inserting ``, any predecessor Act, 
        or licensed or approved under section 38 of this Act, to carry 
        out a transaction with a country, the government of which the 
        Secretary of State has determined is a state sponsor of 
        international terrorism for purposes of section 6(j)(1) of the 
        Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 2405(j)(1)), 
        or otherwise uses such defense articles or defense services''; 
        and
            (2) by adding at the end the following:
    ``(C) In this section, the term `transaction' means the taking of 
any action, directly or indirectly, by a foreign country that would be 
a transaction prohibited by section 40 of this Act with respect to the 
United States Government and United States persons.''.
    (b) Reporting Requirement.--Section 3(e) (22 U.S.C. 2753(e)) is 
amended by inserting after ``the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961,'' the

SEC. 1103. COORDINATION OF LICENSE EXEMPTIONS WITH UNITED STATES LAW 
              ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--In view of the historic difficulties in the 
enforcement of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.) 
associated with violations involving exports of defense articles and 
defense services that have been exempted by regulation from the 
licensing requirements of section 38 of such Act, it is the sense of 
Congress that the establishment of new exemptions by regulation should 
only be undertaken after careful coordination with the appropriate 
United States law enforcement agencies.

sentence, any provision in such regulations that permits the export of

Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director of the Federal Bureau 
of Investigation, that the compilation and maintenance of sufficient 
documentation relating to the export without a license of the articles 
or services is ensured, notwithstanding the absence of a license, to 
facilitate law enforcement efforts to detect, prevent, and prosecute 
criminal violations of any provision of this section, section 39, or 
section 40 of this Act, including the efforts on the part of countries 
and factions engaged in international terrorism to illicitly acquire 
defense articles and defense services. No defense article or defense 
service designated by the President under subsection (a)(1) may be 
exported without a license pursuant to a regulation under subsection 
(a)(1) that is promulgated on or after January 1, 2003, until 30 days 
after the date on which the President provides notice of the proposed 
regulation to the Committee on International Relations of the House of 
Representatives and to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate 
in accordance with the procedures applicable to reprogramming 
notifications under section 634A(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
1961, including a description of the criteria that would be used to 
permit the export of the article or service and any measures to 
facilitate law enforcement efforts associated with the Attorney 
General's determination required by the preceding sentence.''.

              PROVISIONS OF LAW.

    Section 38(g)(1)(A) (22 U.S.C. 2778(g)(1)(A)) is amended--
            (1) in clause (iii)--
                    (A) by striking ``or section 2339A'' and inserting

            (3) in clause (xi), by striking the semicolon at the end 
        and inserting a comma; and

                    ``(xvi) section 175(b), 175b, 1993, 2339 of title 
                18, United States Code;
                    ``(xvii) section 2332a, 2332b, or 2332f of title

                    ``(xviii) section 175 of title 18, United States 
                Code;''.

    (a) Findings; Sense of Congress.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress finds that--

                implements of war, including material, components, 
                parts, and other defense articles and defense services 
                (as defined in paragraphs (3) and (4) of section 47 of 
                the Arms Export Control Act, respectively) continue to 
                seek to evade these embargoes through increasingly 
                sophisticated illegal acquisitions via the 
                ``international gray arms market'' and by seeking to 
                exploit weaknesses in the export control system of the 
                United States and its friends and allies; and
                    (B) the strict and comprehensive application of 
                arms embargoes referred to in subparagraph (A) 
                including those embargoes established by the United 
                Nations Security Council is of fundamental importance 
                to the security and foreign policy interests of the 
                United States.
            (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
        the United States Government should continue to provide a 
        leadership role internationally in ensuring the effectiveness

    (b) Scope of Embargoes.--Section 38 (22 U.S.C. 2778) is amended by

to United States law, or through public notice by the President or 
Secretary of State pursuant to the authorities of this Act, no defense 
article or defense service subject to sections 120-130 of title 22, 
Code of Federal Regulations (commonly known as the `International 
Traffic in Arms Regulations') and no dual use good or technology 
subject to sections 730-774 of title 15, Code of Federal Regulations 
(commonly known as the `Export Administration Regulations') shall be 
sold or transferred to the military, police, or intelligence services 
of the embargoed government, including any associated governmental 
agency, subdivision, entity, or other person acting on their behalf, 
unless, at a minimum and without prejudice to any additional 
requirements established in United States law or regulation, the 
Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense have concurred in the 
sale or transfer through issuance of a license.''.
    (c) Establishment of Controls.--The Secretary shall consult with 
the Secretary of Commerce to ensure the establishment of appropriate 
foreign policy and national security controls and license requirements 
under the Export Administration Regulations in order to ensure the 
effective implementation of section 38(k) of the Arms Export Control 
Act, as added by subsection (b).
    (d) Report.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the appropriate

              TERRORISM.

38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778), which are generally 
administered by the Department of State in conjunction with the 
Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, should

and foreign policy requirements by a reduction in the those matters 
necessitating inter-agency referral outside of the Department of State, 
or by co-locating related functions of the Department of Homeland 
Security and the Department of Defense with those functions of the 
Department of State in order to minimize the time and administrative 
tasks to government and industry involved in inter-agency referrals, 
while also providing a convenient, central location for United States 
defense companies, especially small businesses.

SEC. 1337. NONPROLIFERATION AND DISARMAMENT FUND.

    (a) Authorization of Appropriations.--
            (1) In general.--There are authorized to be appropriated to 
        the President to carry out section 504 of the Freedom for 
        Russia and Emerging Eurasian Democracies and Open Markets 
        Support Act of 1992 (22 U.S.C. 5854; relating to the 
        ``Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund'') $60,000,000 for each 
        of the fiscal years 2004 and 2005.
            (2) Availability.--Amounts appropriated pursuant to the 
        authorization of appropriations under paragraph (1) are 
        authorized to remain available until expended.
    (b) Nonproliferation of Highly Enriched Uranium.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                    (A) Highly enriched uranium is the most likely 
                source material for terrorist or other outlaw 
                organizations that seek to acquire a nuclear weapon.
                    (B) Such organizations are not likely to produce 
                this source material on their own, but will instead 
                look to divert highly enriched uranium from some of the 
                many vulnerable stockpiles in numerous facilities 
                around the world.
                    (C) There is a need for a coordinated United States 
                Government initiative to secure and dispose of highly 
                enriched uranium stockpiles in these vulnerable 
                facilities around the world.
                    (D) The Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund (NDF) 
                is a unique and flexible entity that is well-suited to 
                carry out the initiative described in subparagraph (C), 
                in cooperation with other Federal departments and 
                agencies, including the Department of Energy.
            (2) Initiative.--The Secretary of State is authorized to 
        establish and carry out an initiative to secure and dispose of 
        highly enriched uranium stockpiles in foreign countries, 
        including the provision of such assistance as may be required 
        to secure host country cooperation under the initiative.
            (3) Authorization of appropriations.--Of the amounts made 
        available to carry out section 504 of the Freedom for Russia 
        and Emerging Eurasian Democracies and Open Markets Support Act 
        of 1992 (22 U.S.C. 5854) for fiscal years 2004 and 2005, there 
        are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary to carry out

of not more than four excess coastal patrol boats to the Government of 
Mozambique for maritime patrol and interdiction activities.
    (b) Availability.--Amounts appropriated pursuant to the 
authorization of appropriations under subsection (a) are authorized to 
remain available until September 30, 2006.

SEC. 1339. REPORT ON MISSILE DEFENSE COOPERATION.

    Not later than December 31, 2003, and December 31, 2004, the 
Secretary of State shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees a report on cooperative efforts that have been undertaken by 
the United States with foreign governments to foster the development 
and deployment of defenses against missile attack. Such report shall 
include a detailed description of such efforts on a country-by-country 
basis, and may be submitted in classified and unclassified form, as 
appropriate.

SEC. 1340. IRAN'S PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A NUCLEAR EXPLOSIVE DEVICE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Iran, as a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation 
        of Nuclear Weapons, has legally forsworn developing or 
        acquiring nuclear weapons.
            (2) Iran has for more than a decade pursued a program aimed 
        at the development of a nuclear explosive device.
            (3) Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet has 
        repeatedly warned of Iran's clandestine efforts to acquire 
weapons of mass destruction, stating as recently as February 11, 2003, 
in testimony before Congress that ``Iran is continuing to pursue 
development of a nuclear fuel cycle for civilian and nuclear weapons 
purposes . . . [and further that] Tehran may be able to indigenously 
produce enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon'' within this 
decade.
            (4) On March 17, 2003, Dr. el Baradei, Director General of 
        the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), called on Iran 
        to agree to a more intrusive monitoring regime at its nuclear 
        sites and demanded that Iran, which is a signatory to the 
        Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, agree to an ``additional 
        protocol'' under the IAEA's nuclear inspection rights, which 
        would enable more intrusive monitoring.
            (5) In early 2003 Iran announced plans to mine its own 
        natural uranium and admitted constructing two nuclear 
        facilities, one a gas centrifuge uranium enrichment facility 
        and the other a heavy water production plant.
            (6) A uranium enrichment facility would give Iran the 
        capability to indigenously produce nuclear-weapons grade 
        uranium. Further, heavy water is used in reactors that not only 
        produce weapons-grade plutonium, but also tritium, a key 
        ingredient in boosted-fission weapons.
            (7) At the same time, Iran has been developing long-range 
        missiles that could deliver nuclear explosive devices. Director 
        of Central Intelligence Tenet has warned that Iran could flight 
        test an intercontinental ballistic missile later this decade.
            (8) Iran has received considerable assistance in its 
        nuclear program and in its missile development program from the 
        Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, and North 
        Korea.
            (9) Congress has long been seized with finding ways to 
        deter or delay Iran's acquisition or development of such deadly 
        weapons, including through the enactment of the Iran-Iraq Arms 
        Non-Proliferation Act of 1992, the Iran Libya Sanctions Act of 
        1996, the Iran Non-Proliferation Act of 2000, and the Iran 
        Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 2002.
            (10) Successive Administrations have similarly sought to 
        deter or delay Iran's acquisition or development of such 
        weapons by such measures as elevating Iran's proliferation 
        behavior in bilateral relations with the Russian Federation and 
        the People's Republic of China, sanctioning entities of the 
        Russian Federation providing technology or expertise to Iran's 
        nuclear and missile programs, and urging multilateral export 
        control regimes to deny sensitive technology to proliferators 
        like Iran.
            (11) President Bush included Iran as one of the countries 
        that comprise the ``axis of evil'' in his January 2002 State of 
        the Union Address because of its efforts to develop weapons of 
        mass destruction and its support of international terrorism. 
        Iran has been the principle supporter and supplier to Hizballah 
        in southern Lebanon, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad. Further, the 
        leaders of Iran have publicly called for the destruction of the 
        State of Israel.
            (12) A nuclear-armed Iran would pose a grave threat to the 
        national security of the United States and to our allies in the 
        region.
    (b) Statement of Policy.--Congress--
            (1) finds that Iran's support of terrorism and its efforts 
        to develop nuclear weapons are a grave threat to the national 
        security of the United States and its allies and to the United 
        States Armed Forces;
            (2) declares that the United States and our friends and 
        allies must make maximum efforts to prevent Iran from 
        developing or acquiring nuclear weapons and the missiles to 
        deliver them;
            (3) urges the President to use all appropriate means to 
        prevent Iran from gaining such capabilities;
            (4) urges the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to 
        employ the full range of its inspection authorities to ensure 
        that Iran's nuclear program is used for peaceful purposes only;
            (5) encourages Iran to sign and ratify the new nuclear 
        safeguards protocol, the ``Model Additional Protocol (INFCIRC/
        540-Corr)'' to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear 
        Weapons, which would demonstrate Iran's commitment to sharing 
        information about its nuclear program with the IAEA and the 
        international community and to full disclosure and transparency 
        about its nuclear program; and
            (6) urges the United States resident representative to the 
        IAEA to work with the Board of Governors of the IAEA on 
        guidelines for early identification of noncompliance with the 
        Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

            TITLE XIV--MISSILE THREAT REDUCTION ACT OF 2003

SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Missile Threat Reduction Act of 
2003''.

  Subtitle A--Strengthening International Missile Nonproliferation Law

SEC. 1411. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The spread of offensive ballistic missiles suitable for 
        launching nuclear, chemical, and biological warheads is 
        accelerating across the globe.
            (2) According to the Carnegie Endowment for International 
        Peace, more than 25 countries possess missiles with ranges in 
        excess of 300 kilometers and capable of delivering a nuclear 
        warhead.
            (3)(A) Many of the countries now possessing such missiles, 
        and engaging in the sale and transfer of such missiles and 
        their production technology to other countries, are directly 
        hostile to the United States, its interests, and its allies.
            (B) Of particular concern in this regard is North Korea, 
        which regularly sells ballistic missiles and technology to 
        countries in regions of instability and concern to the United 
        States.
            (4) The Central Intelligence Agency has stated in its most 
        recent report on the foreign ballistic missile threat the 
        following:
                    ``Emerging ballistic missile states continue to 
                increase the range, reliability, and accuracy of the 
                missile systems in their inventories--posing ever 
                greater risks to U.S. forces, interests, and allies 
                throughout the world. A decade ago, U.S. and allied 
                forces abroad faced threats from SRBM's [Short Range 
                Ballistic Missiles]--primarily the Scud and its 
                variants. Today, countries have deployed or are on the 
                verge of deploying MRBM's [Medium Range Ballistic 
                Missiles], placing greater numbers of targets at risk.
                    ``Proliferation of ballistic missile-related 
                technologies, materials, and expertise--especially by 
                Russian, Chinese, and North Korean entities--has 
                enabled emerging missile states to accelerate the 
                development timelines for their existing programs, 
                acquire turnkey systems to gain previously non-existent 
                capabilities--in the case of the Chinese sale of the M-
                11 SRBM to Pakistan--and lay the groundwork for the 
                expansion of domestic infrastructures to potentially 
                accommodate even more capable and longer range future 
                systems.''.
            (5) The same CIA report also noted the following: ``North 
        Korea has assumed the role as the missile and manufacturing 
        technology source for many programs. North Korean willingness 
        to sell complete systems and components has enabled other 
        states to acquire longer range capabilities earlier than 
        otherwise would have been possible--notably the sale of the No 
        Dong MRBM to Pakistan. The North also has helped countries to 
        acquire technologies to serve as the basis for domestic 
        development efforts--as with Iran's reverse-engineering of the 
        No Dong in the Shahab-3 program. Meanwhile, Iran is expanding 
        its efforts to sell missile technology.''.
            (6) Since 1987, 33 countries have committed to abide by a 
        voluntary set of guidelines known as the Missile Technology 
        Control Regime (MTCR), whereby adherents agreed to refrain from 
        the transfer to nonadherents of certain categories of whole 
        missiles, their constituent parts, and the facilities to 
        manufacture them, especially ``Category I'' missiles, which at 
        a range of 300 kilometers or more and a payload capacity of 500 
        kilograms or more are especially suited for delivering nuclear 
        weapons.
            (7) In October 2002, 93 countries committed to observe a 
        nonbinding code of conduct derived from, but less restrictive 
        than, the nonbinding MTCR. While this is a welcome achievement, 
        it does not provide a legal obligation on its adherents to 
        refrain from the trade in missiles or missile technology.
            (8) On December 10, 2002, the White House released its 
        ``National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction'', 
        wherein it is stated that strengthening international 
        nonproliferation controls on weapons of mass destruction (WMD) 
        and upon the missiles that can deliver them is the second of 
        three principal pillars of the National Strategy. The National 
        Strategy also states that ``effective interdiction is a 
        critical part of the U.S. strategy to combat WMD and their 
        delivery means''.
            (9) On December 11, 2002, the United States took control of 
        an unflagged freighter that was attempting clandestinely to 
        ship, from North Korea to Yemen, SCUD missiles of a type that 
        would be generally prohibited from transfer as Category I 
        missiles.
            (10) Neither North Korea nor Yemen is an adherent to the 
        MTCR guidelines, which in any case are not legally binding, and 
        there is no binding international legal instrument that would 
        prohibit shipments of the missiles referred to in paragraph 
        (9).
            (11) At Yemen's request, the United States released the 
        shipment of North Korean Scud missiles to Yemen.
            (12) Also on December 11, 2002, the White House press 
        spokesman stated that existing international law regarding 
        halting the spread of missile proliferation could be 
        strengthened. The new National Strategy to Combat Weapons of 
        Mass Destruction also commits the United States to support 
        those regimes that are currently in force, and to work to 
        improve the effectiveness of, and compliance with, those 
        regimes, and identifies the MTCR as a regime that the United 
        States will seek to strengthen.
            (13) Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, testifying on 
        February 12, 2003, before the Committee on Armed Services of 
        the Senate, stated the following: ``...[I]t's pretty clear that 
        the proliferation regimes that exist in the world worked pretty 
        well before, [but] they're not working very well right now.... 
        [U]nless the world wakes up and says this is a dangerous thing 
        and creates a set of regimes that will in fact get cooperation 
        to stop those weapons, we're going to be facing a very serious 
        situation in the next five years.''.
            (14) The MTCR has made an invaluable contribution to 
        restraint in the international trade of offensive ballistic 
        missiles. Strengthening international controls on ballistic 
        missiles, however, will require a dramatic expansion of 
        adherents that rigorously abide by the MTCR's guidelines, and a 
        binding legal basis for the United Nations and countries 
        devoted to nonproliferation to prevent, and when necessary act 
        to prevent, further proliferation of offensive ballistic 
        missiles around the world.
            (15) Therefore, it should be the policy of the United 
        States to promote the creation of new international mechanisms 
        that would, in all future circumstances, allow the peace-loving 
        and law-abiding nations of the world the authority to interdict 
        and prevent the transfer of such missiles.

SEC. 1412. POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES.

    It shall be the policy of the United States to seek a binding 
international instrument or instruments to restrict the trade in 
offensive ballistic missiles with ranges of 300 kilometers or more that 
have a payload capacity of 500 kilograms or more. Such a binding 
international instrument may take the form of a multilateral treaty, a 
United Nations Security Council resolution, or other instrument of 
international law, and should provide for enforcement measures 
including interdiction, seizure, and impoundment of illicit shipments 
of offensive ballistic missiles and related technology, equipment, and 
components.

SEC. 1413. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of the Congress that the United States should 
immediately introduce a resolution in the United Nations Security 
Council to prohibit all members of the United Nations from purchasing, 
receiving, assisting or allowing the transfer of, and to authorize the 
subsequent interdiction, seizure, and impoundment of, any missile, 
missile-related equipment, means of producing missiles, or missile-
related technology from North Korea.

SEC. 1421. PROBATIONARY PERIOD FOR FOREIGN PERSONS.

    (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon 
the expiration, or the granting of a waiver, on or after January 1, 
2003, of sanctions against a foreign person imposed under section 73(a) 
of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2797b(a)) or under section 
11B(b)(1) of the Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. App.

        root in an atmosphere free of violence and terrorism.
            (3) The Palestinian people have been ill-served by leaders 
        who, by resorting to violence and terrorism to pursue their 
        political objectives, have brought economic and personal 
        hardship to their people and brought a halt to efforts seeking 
        a negotiated settlement of the conflict.
            (4) The United States has an interest in a Middle East in 
        which two states, Israel and Palestine, will live side by side 
        in peace and security.
            (5) In his speech of June 24, 2002, and in other 
        statements, President George W. Bush outlined a comprehensive 
        vision of the possibilities of peace in the Middle East region 
        following a change in Palestinian leadership.
            (6) A stable and peaceful Palestinian state is necessary to 
        achieve the security that Israel longs for, and Israel should 
        take concrete steps to support the emergence of a viable, 
        credible Palestinian state.
            (7) The Palestinian state must be a reformed, peaceful, and 
        democratic state that abandons forever the use of terror.
            (8) On April 29, 2003, the Palestinian Legislative Council 
        confirmed in office, by a vote of 51 yeas, 18 nays, and 3 
        abstentions, the Palestinian Authority's first prime minister, 
        Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), and his cabinet.
            (9) In his remarks prior to the vote of the Palestinian 
        Legislative Council, Mr. Abbas declared: ``The government will 
        concentrate on the question of security . . . The unauthorized 
        possession of weapons, with its direct threat to the security 
        of the population, is a major concern that will be relentlessly 
        addressed . . . There will be no other decision-making 
        authority except for the Palestinian Authority.''.
            (10) In those remarks, Mr. Abbas further stated: ``We 
        denounce terrorism by any party and in all its forms both 
because of our religious and moral traditions and because we are 
convinced that such methods do not lend support to a just cause like 
ours but rather destroy it.''.
            (11) Israel has repeatedly indicated its willingness to 
        make painful concessions to achieve peace once there is a 
        partner for peace on the Palestinian side.

SEC. 1603. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this title are--
            (1) to express the sense of Congress with respect to United 
        States recognition of a Palestinian state; and
            (2) to demonstrate United States willingness to provide 
        substantial economic and humanitarian assistance, and to 
        support large-scale multilateral assistance, after the 
        Palestinians have achieved the reforms outlined by President 
        Bush and have achieved peace with the State of Israel.

SEC. 1604. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) peace between Israel and the Palestinians cannot be 
        negotiated until the Palestinian system of government has been 
        transformed along the lines outlined in President Bush's June 
        24, 2002, speech;
            (2) substantial United States and international economic 
        assistance will be needed after the Palestinians have achieved 
        the reforms described in section 620K(c)(2) of the Foreign 
        Assistance Act of 1961 (as added by section 1706 of this Act) 
        and have made a lasting and secure peace with Israel;
            (3) the Palestinian people merit commendation on the 
        confirmation of the Palestinian Authority's first prime 
        minister, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), and his cabinet;
            (4) the new Palestinian administration urgently should take 
        the necessary security-related steps to allow for 
        implementation of a performance-based road map to resolve the 
        Israeli-Palestinian conflict;
            (5) the United States Administration should work vigorously 
        toward the goal of two states living side-by-side in peace 
        within secure and internationally-recognized boundaries free 
        from threats or acts of force; and
            (6) the United States has a vital national security 
        interest in a permanent, comprehensive, and just resolution of 
        the Arab-Israeli conflict, and particularly the Palestinian-
        Israeli conflict, based on the terms of United Nations Security 
        Council Resolutions 242 and 338.

SEC. 1605. RECOGNITION OF A PALESTINIAN STATE.

    It is the sense of Congress that a Palestinian state should not be 
recognized by the United States until the President determines that--
            (1) a new leadership of a Palestinian governing entity, not 
        compromised by terrorism, has been elected and taken office; 
        and
            (2) the newly-elected Palestinian governing entity--
                    (A) has demonstrated a firm and tangible commitment 
                to peaceful coexistence with the State of Israel and to 
                ending anti-Israel incitement, including the cessation 
                of all officially sanctioned or funded anti-Israel 
                incitement;
                    (B) has taken appropriate measures to counter 
                terrorism and terrorist financing in the West Bank and 
                Gaza, including the dismantling of terrorist 
                infrastructures and the confiscation of unlawful 
                weaponry;
                    (C) has established a new Palestinian security 
                entity that is fully cooperating with the appropriate 
                Israeli security organizations;
                    (D) has achieved exclusive authority and 
                responsibility for governing the national affairs of a 
                Palestinian state, has taken effective steps to ensure 
                democracy, the rule of law, and an independent 
                judiciary, and has adopted other reforms ensuring 
                transparent and accountable governance; and
                    (E) has taken effective steps to ensure that its 
                education system promotes the acceptance of Israel's 
                existence and of peace with Israel and actively 
                discourages anti-Israel incitement.

SEC. 1606. LIMITATION ON ASSISTANCE TO A PALESTINIAN STATE.

    Chapter 1 of part III of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 
U.S.C. 2351 et seq.) is amended--
            (1) by redesignating the second section 620G (as added by 
        section 149 of Public Law 104-164 (110 Stat. 1436)) as section 
        620J; and

SEC. 1607. AUTHORIZATION OF ASSISTANCE TO A PALESTINIAN STATE.

    Chapter 1 of part III of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 
U.S.C. 2351 et seq.), as amended by section 1706, is further amended by 
adding at the end the following new section:

``SEC. 620L. AUTHORIZATION OF ASSISTANCE TO A PALESTINIAN STATE.

    ``(a) Assistance.--The President is authorized to provide 
assistance to a Palestinian state in accordance with the requirements 
of this section.
    ``(b) Activities To Be Supported.--Assistance provided under 
subsection (a) shall be used to support activities within a Palestinian 
state to substantially improve the economy and living conditions of the 
Palestinians by, among other things, providing for economic development 
in the West Bank and Gaza, continuing to promote democracy and the rule 
of law, developing water resources, assisting in security cooperation 
between Israelis and Palestinians, and helping with the compensation 
and rehabilitation of Palestinian refugees.
    ``(c) Authorization of Appropriations.--Of the amounts made 
available to carry out chapter 4 of part II of this Act for a fiscal 
year, there are authorized to be appropriated to the President to carry 
out subsections (a) and (b) such sums as may be necessary for each such 
fiscal year.
    ``(d) Coordination of International Assistance.--

        to convene one or more donors conferences to gain commitments 
        from other countries, multilateral institutions, and 
        nongovernmental organizations to provide economic assistance to 
        Palestinians to ensure that such commitments to provide 
        assistance are honored in a timely manner, to ensure that there 
        is coordination of assistance among the United States and such 
        other countries, multilateral institutions, and nongovernmental 
        organizations, to ensure that the assistance provided to 
        Palestinians is used for the purposes for which is was 
        provided, and to ensure that other countries, multilateral 
        institutions, and nongovernmental organizations do not provide 
        assistance to Palestinians through entities that are designated 
        as terrorist organizations under United States law.
            ``(2)  Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this section, and on an annual basis 
        thereafter, the Secretary of State shall prepare and submit to

        Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
        Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on

        the reporting period by each country and organization.''.

                  TITLE XVII--ACCESS FOR AFGHAN WOMEN

SEC. 1701. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Access for Afghan Women Act of 
2003''.

SEC. 1702. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Despite the removal of the Taliban from power, women in 
        Afghanistan continue to experience brutal and frequent 
        violation of their human rights, generally outside of Kabul 
        where warlords are reexerting control.
            (2) Strong and continued support from the United States and 
        the international community can ensure that the advances made 
        by Afghan women since the fall of the Taliban will continue and 
        grow, rather than recede.
            (3) While the United States and the international community 
        continue to make substantial contributions to emergency 
        humanitarian and relief operations in Afghanistan, the 
        establishment of a stable, peaceful, prosperous, and democratic 
        Afghanistan with a broad-based, multi-ethnic, gender-sensitive, 
        and fully representative government requires a significant 
        increase in long-term investments in development and 
        reconstruction assistance.
            (4) The maternal mortality rate in Afghanistan is among the 
        highest in the world, with recent reports estimating that every 
        30 minutes an Afghan woman dies of pregnancy related causes, or 
        approximately 15,000 women every year. The estimated maternal 
        mortality rate of 1,600 deaths per 100,000 live births can be 
        significantly reduced through access to primary health care 
        services, including safe birthing supplies, emergency obstetric 
        care, prenatal and postnatal care, contraception, and 
        prevention and treatment for the effects of sexual coercion and 
        rape.
            (5) Women comprise 75 percent or more of the refugees and 
        internally displaced in camps, urban areas, and villages in 
        Afghanistan.
            (6) 85 percent of Afghanistan's population lives in rural 
        areas. The women in rural areas perform vital roles in food 
        production, processing, and preparation. Successful 
        reconstruction and development assistance must target rural 
        women as part of any agricultural interventions.
            (7) Within Afghanistan and outside of Afghanistan, local 
        women's organizations are delivering critical services and have 
        the knowledge and experience to assist the United States in 
        delivering effective relief aid.
            (8) The Afghan Ministry for Women's Affairs is an important 
        ministry that is essential for re-establishing women's human 
        rights, ensuring that women are included in all development 
        efforts, and delivering critical legal, health, education, and 
        economic services to women throughout Afghanistan's 30 
        provinces.
            (9) Afghan women are taking the initiative to reach across 
        the conflict divide and foster peace. Women's perspectives and 
        experiences in seeking solutions to conflicts are necessary to 
        ensure lasting peace.
            (10) The inadequate security situation in Afghanistan 
        disproportionately impacts women and girls as the lack of rule 
        of law results in the frequent assault, kidnapping, and sexual 
        abuse of Afghan women and girls throughout Afghanistan.
            (11) Despite significant improvements in healthcare and 
        education infrastructure for women and girls in Afghanistan, 
        the lack of security and rule of law throughout most of 
        Afghanistan effectively denies access to these facilities and 
        the critical services they provide.

SEC. 1703. ESTABLISHMENT OF AFGHAN WOMEN'S FUND.

    (a) Establishment.--The Administrator of the United States Agency 
for International Development shall establish a fund for the purpose of 
assisting women and girls in Afghanistan in the areas of political and 
human rights, health care, education, training, security, and shelter.
    (b) Activities Supported.--The fund established under subsection 
(a) shall support the activities described in section 103(a)(7) of the 
Afghanistan Freedom Support Act of 2002 and the following activities:
            (1) Direct financial and programmatic assistance to the 
        Ministry of Women's Affairs in Afghanistan (hereafter in this 
        section referred to as the ``Ministry'') to promote the 
        strengthening of the Ministry as the Government of Afghanistan 
        continues its transition to a long-term government structure 
        and to enable the Ministry to fulfill its mandate. The Ministry 
        may use such assistance to support activities such as the 
        following:
                    (A) Multiyear women-centered economic development 
                programs, including programs to assist widows, female 
                heads of household, women in rural areas, and disabled 
                women.
                    (B) Collaboration with the Ministry of Health to 
                construct culturally appropriate health infrastructure 
                and delivery of high-quality comprehensive health care 
                programs, including primary, maternal, child, 
                reproductive, and mental health care.
                    (C) Programs to prevent trafficking in persons, 
                assist victims, and apprehend and prosecute traffickers 
                in persons.
            (2) Direct financial assistance to the National Human 
        Rights Commission of Afghanistan.
            (3) Construction of women's educational facilities in 
        Afghanistan.
    (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be 
appropriated to carry out this section not less than $22,500,000 for 
each of the fiscal years 2003, 2004, and 2005 and such sums as are 
necessary for each subsequent fiscal year.

SEC. 1704. ASSISTANCE TO AFGHANISTAN.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, not less than 15 
percent of the aggregate amount of economic and humanitarian assistance 
authorized to be appropriated under section 1703(c) to be made 
available to Afghanistan for each of the fiscal years 2003, 2004, and 
2005 shall be made available for assistance directly to Afghan-led 
local nongovernmental organizations, including Afghan women-led 
organizations, with demonstrated experience in delivering services to 
Afghan women and children to support their programmatic activities and 
organizational development. In recognition of the appreciating capacity 
of Afghan-led local nongovernmental organizations, including Afghan 
women-led organizations, an appropriate percentage of the aggregate 
amount of economic and humanitarian assistance authorized to be made 
available to Afghanistan for fiscal year 2006 and each subsequent 
fiscal year shall be made available for assistance directly to Afghan-
led local nongovernmental organizations, including Afghan women-led 
organizations.

SEC. 1705. REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO UNITED STATES ACTIVITIES IN 
              AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) In General.--Activities described in subsections (b) through 
(e) that are carried out by the United States in Afghanistan should

Afghanistan, the applicable requirements are the following:
            (1) Include the perspectives and advice of Afghan women's

        policymaking related to the governance of Afghanistan.
            (2) Promote the inclusion of a significant number of women 
        in future legislative bodies to ensure that women's full range

SEC. 1814. PROMOTING A SECURE AND DEMOCRATIC AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the United States has a vital interest in promoting 
        Afghanistan's transition from chaos, civil war, and disorder to 
        an increasingly prosperous democratic state, safe and secure 
        with its neighbors, respecting human rights, particularly the 
        rights of women and girls, dedicated to the liberty, literacy, 
        and enrichment of its citizens, and serving as a model for 
        other countries;
            (2) basic security in the major cities and along key 
        transportation routes is critical to the reconstruction and 
        development of Afghanistan, including fostering implementation 
        of the Bonn Agreement, achieving progress towards a democratic 
        and tolerant government, and encouraging international private 
        investment;
            (3) Afghanistan and its people remain under serious threat 
        from terrorism, insurgency, widespread crime, banditry, 
        intimidation, rape, and suppression of minorities and women, 
        and other grave violations of human rights continue to occur, 
        especially in areas that do not have a routine presence of 
        international security personnel;
            (4) lethal clashes continue between the private armies of 
        warlords, attacks against Afghan civilians and officials and 
        United States and international organization personnel are on 
        the rise, and threats against civilians and whole villages not 
        to cooperate with Americans or the central government are now 
        routine;
            (5) the growth, production, and trafficking of Afghan opium 
        and its derivatives pose a serious threat to international 
        peace and security and efforts toward reconstruction in 
        Afghanistan;
            (6) recruitment and training of the Afghan National Army 
        and the Afghan National Police are seriously behind schedule 
        and will not be at full strength for several years, leaving the 
        central government and Afghan citizens vulnerable to the 
        depredations of terrorists, insurgents, and the private armies 
        of warlords;
            (7) although the 4,500 soldiers of the International 
        Security Assistance Force (ISAF) have provided much-needed 
        security for the citizens of Kabul, it is not within their 
        mandate or power to promote security to other areas, and human 
        rights abuses are continuing in areas in and around Kabul where 
        ISAF is not present;
            (8) vastly disproportionate numbers of refugees returning 
        from neighboring countries have gone to Kabul because of the 
        security provided by ISAF and the insecurity of their home 
        areas, overwhelming Kabul and far exceeding its capacity for 
        shelter, food, and employment;
            (9) NATO has recently decided to take over responsibility 
        for a limited ISAF, a welcome development that will not, 
        unfortunately, provide any additional security in Kabul or 
        elsewhere;
            (10) the United States has stated on numerous occasions 
        that it does not oppose the expansion of ISAF, but that 
        heretofore other countries have not expressed a willingness to 
        participate in an expanded force;
            (11) the United States has not itself demonstrated a 
        commitment to expansion of ISAF or a similar international 
        security or peacekeeping force, a commitment to leadership that 
        other nations may more likely follow;
            (12) the Secretary of Defense has announced that the combat 
        phase of the war in Afghanistan has ended, and that the United 
        States will be focusing its efforts on a reconstruction phase 
        utilizing lightly-armed, platoon-sized Provincial 
        Reconstruction Teams to provide security for reconstruction 
        efforts, rather than an expanded international peacekeeping or 
        patrolling security force;
            (13) the Provincial Reconstruction Teams may prove 
        inadequate to provide a significant level of security to their 
        regions, and are not tasked to secure the major transportation 
        routes which are critical to the economic revival of 
        Afghanistan;
            (14) United States and foreign nongovernmental aid workers 
        and Afghan civilian aid workers are at great risk of being 
        robbed, beaten, and killed in areas of Afghanistan that are not 
        being patrolled by United States forces or Afghan central 
        government forces;
            (15) such acts of theft, intimidation, and murder against 
        foreign aid and Afghan civilian workers are occurring with 
        increasing frequency, and are often deliberately committed by 
        Taliban and other insurgent and rebel forces with the intention 
        of creating sufficient terror to undermine and arrest any 
        efforts to rebuild Afghanistan into a peaceful, democratic, and 
        prosperous nation that prohibits terrorism and tyranny;
            (16) the report of the Inspector General of the United 
        States Agency for International Development (USAID) confirms 
        that USAID workers are virtual captives in their compounds, 
        able to venture out into the countryside for brief periods and 
        only under heavy armed escort, conditions which are 
        counterproductive to their mission of assisting the people of 
        Afghanistan;
            (17) the Taliban and al-Qaeda may believe they only have to 
        create enough terror and uncertainty in the country to 
        undermine the creation of strong representative institutions, 
        and wait until the United States leaves to again create chaos, 
        exploit tribal rivalries, and plunge Afghanistan back into 
        chaos;
            (18) failure to secure a peaceful and democratic 
        Afghanistan will diminish the credibility of efforts by the 
        United States and the international community to promote peace 
        and democracy elsewhere in the Muslim world; and
            (19) unless general security can be provided in the major 
        population areas, strategic highways, and border crossings and 
        chokepoints, the goals for which the war in Afghanistan was 
        fought may be lost and the efforts and lives spent in the 
        attempt to liberate and rebuild Afghanistan may be wasted.
    (b) Security Policy.--
            (1) Security along highways.--The President shall take 
        immediate steps to ensure that there is adequate security along 
        the length of highways connecting major Afghan urban centers in 
        order to terminate and deter acts of banditry, illegal 
        checkpoints, human rights abuses, terrorism, and intimidation 
        against Afghan and foreign civilians and military personnel.
            (2) Disarmament, etc. of afghan militias.--The President 
        shall take immediate steps to support directly the disarmament, 
        demobilization, and reintegration of Afghan militias and 
        irregulars that are not formally part of the Afghan National 
        Army or under the direct control of the central government in 
        Afghanistan.
    (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
President should take steps to implement section 206(d) of the 
Afghanistan Freedom Support Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-327) to expand 
significantly the International Security Assistance Force, or take such 
other steps as may be necessary, such as increasing the number and 
force levels of United States Provincial Reconstruction Teams, so as 
to--
            (1) increase the area in which security is provided and 
        undertake vital tasks related to promoting security, such as 
        disarming warlords militias and irregulars;
            (2) deter criminal activity, including rape, robbery, and 
        intimidation of civilians; and
            (3) safeguard highways in order to allow governmental and 
        nongovernmental assistance and reconstruction personnel to move 
        more freely in the countryside to provide humanitarian relief 
        and rebuild Afghanistan.

SEC. 1815. GRANTS TO THE AFRICA SOCIETY.
