SEC. 809. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO MAGEN DAVID ADOM SOCIETY.

    It is the sense of Congress that, in light of the findings of fact 
set out in section 690(a) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, 
Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-228; 116 Stat. 1414) and the fact that 
the Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has not granted 
full membership to the Magen David Adom Society, the United States 
should continue to press for full membership for the Magen David Adom 
Society in the International Red Cross Movement.

              STATES COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

SEC. 811. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE VISA WAIVER PROGRAM.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
            (1) Stopping terrorists from entering the United States is 
        a key element in the war on terrorism.
            (2) The United States is dedicated to the growth of 
        democracy, a vibrant world economy, and the development of 
        broader horizons of knowledge, including new science and 
        technology.
            (3) The present and future prosperity of the United States, 
        our national security, and our friendship with people of other 
        nations depend upon the swift movement of people, goods, and 
        services around the globe.
            (4) The process for entry into the United States must 
        therefore stop terrorists while welcoming legitimate travelers.
            (5) New technology, such as passports with biometrics, is a 
        critical tool in achieving these goals.
            (6) The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act 
        of 2002 (Public Law 107-17) requires that not later than 
        October 26, 2004, the government of each country that is 
        designated to participate in the visa waiver program 
        established under section 217 of the Immigration and 
        Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1187) shall certify, as a condition 
        for designation or continuation of that designation, that it 
        has a program to issue to its nationals machine-readable 
        passports that are tamper-resistant and incorporate biometric 
        and document authentication identifiers that comply with 
        applicable biometric and document identifying standards 
        established by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
            (7) The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act 
        of 2002 (Public Law 107-17) requires that unless an alien's 
        passport was issued prior to October 26, 2004, any alien 
        applying for admission under the visa waiver program shall 
        present a passport that meets these biometric and 
        authentication requirements.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that 
Congress and the Administration ensure that the October 26, 2004, 
deadline that requires certain visa waiver program beneficiaries to 
have passports with biometric and document authentication identifiers 
does not disrupt the entry of legitimate visitors to the United States.

           TITLE IX--PEACE CORPS CHARTER FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

SEC. 901. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Peace Corps Charter for the 21st 
Century Act''.

SEC. 902. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Peace Corps was established in 1961 to promote 
        world peace and friendship through the service of United States 
        volunteers abroad.
            (2) The Peace Corps has sought to fulfill three goals, as 
        follows:
                    (A) To help people in developing nations meet basic 
                needs.
                    (B) To promote understanding of America's values 
                and ideals abroad.
                    (C) To promote an understanding of other peoples by 
                Americans.
            (3) The three goals, which are codified in the Peace Corps 
        Act, have guided the Peace Corps and its volunteers over the 
        years, and worked 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) Since its establishment, approximately 165,000 Peace 
        Corps volunteers have served in 135 countries.
            (5) After more than 40 years of operation, the Peace Corps 
        remains the world's premier international service organization 
        dedicated to promoting grassroots development.
            (6) The Peace Corps remains committed to sending well 
        trained and well supported Peace Corps volunteers overseas to 
        promote peace, friendship, and international understanding.
            (7) The Peace Corps operates in 70 countries with 7,000 
        Peace Corps volunteers.
            (8) 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.
            (9) The Crisis Corps has been an effective tool in 
        harnessing the skills and talents for returned Peace Corps 
        volunteers and should be expanded to utilize to the maximum 
        extent the talent pool of returned Peace Corps volunteers.
            (10) There is deep misunderstanding and misinformation 
        about the values and ideals of the United States in many parts 
        of the world, particularly those with substantial Muslim 
        populations, and a greater Peace Corps presence in such places 
        could foster greater understanding and tolerance.
            (11) Congress has declared that the Peace Corps should be 
        expanded to sponsor a minimum of 10,000 Peace Corps volunteers.
            (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 must not jeopardize 
        the quality of the Peace Corps volunteer experience, and 
        therefore can only be accomplished by an appropriate increase 
        in field and headquarters support staff.
            (14) In order to ensure that 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 National Peace Corps 
        Advisory Council composed of distinguished returned Peace Corps 
        volunteers 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 Corps in discharging the 
        Director's duties and responsibilities.

        guarantee assistance to private lenders encourages such lenders

partial loan guarantees available to private lenders to fund 
development projects in developing countries that encourage such

            ``(2) Demining activities, clearance of unexploded

determines appropriate.
    (c) Landmine Awareness Program for the Children of Afghanistan and 
Other Children at Risk in Areas of Conflict.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                    (A) Most landmines in Afghanistan were laid between 
                1980 and 1992.
                    (B) Additional landmines were laid between 1992 and 
                1996, during the conflict between the Taliban and the 
                Northern Alliance.
                    (C) United States bombings against the Taliban in 
                2001 and 2002 further increased the unexploded 
                ordinance and cluster bombs throughout Afghanistan.
                    (D) The clearance of landmines is a slow and 
                expensive process.
                    (E) Certain types of landmines and other unexploded 
                ordinance are small, brightly colored, and attractive 
                to children.
                    (F) More than 150 Afghans, many of them children, 
                are injured every month by these weapons.
                    (G) In 2003, reconstituted Taliban forces sought 
                out and attacked workers clearing landmines, in an 
                attempt to discredit the Government of President Karzai 
                and the United States military presence.
                    (H) In May 2003, after a string of Taliban attacks 
                in which mine removal workers were killed or seriously 
                injured, the United Nations suspended all mine-clearing 
                operations in much of southern Afghanistan.
                    (I) Effective landmine awareness programs targeted 
                to children could save lives in Afghanistan and in 
                other areas of conflict where unexploded ordinance are 
                a danger to the safety of children.
            (2) <DELETED>Authorization</DELETED> Assistance 
        authority.--The President is authorized to furnish assistance 
        to fund innovative programs designed to educate children in 
        Afghanistan and other affected areas about the dangers of 
        landmines and other unexploded ordinances, especially those 
        proposed by organizations with extensive background in 
        children's educational programs.
            (3) Authorization of appropriations.--In addition to funds 
        otherwise authorized to be appropriated for demining and 
        related activities under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 
        U.S.C. 2151 et seq.), there are authorized to be appropriated

SEC. 2233. EXCEPTION TO BILATERAL AGREEMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFERS

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Close defense cooperation between the United States and 
        each of the United Kingdom and Australia requires 
        interoperability among the armed forces of those countries.
            (2) The need for interoperability must be balanced with the 
        need for appropriate and effective regulation of trade in 
        defense items.
            (3) The Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.) 
        authorizes the executive branch to administer arms export 
        policies enacted by Congress in the exercise of its 
        constitutional power to regulate commerce with foreign nations.
            (4) The executive branch has exercised its authority under 
        the Arms Export Control Act, in part, through the International 
        Traffic in Arms Regulations.
            (5) Agreements to gain exemption from the International 
        Traffic in Arms Regulations must be submitted to Congress for 
        review.
    (b) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Defense items.--The term ``defense items'' has the 
        meaning given the term in section 38 of the Arms Export Control 
        Act (22 U.S.C. 2778).
            (2) International traffic in arms regulations.--The term 
        ``International Traffic in Arms Regulations'' means the 
        regulations maintained under parts 120 through 130 of title 22, 
        Code of Federal Regulations, and any successor regulations.

SEC. 2241. MAN-PORTABLE AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS THREAT REDUCTION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (in this section 
        referred to as ``MANPADS''), also known as shoulder-fired 
        missiles, are widely proliferated weapons that are relatively 
        cheap, easy to conceal, and available on the black market.
            (2) As many as 700,000 MANPADS have been produced 
        worldwide, thousands of which are in the hands of approximately 
        two dozen terrorist and nonstate groups.
            (3) According to the Department of Homeland Security, since 
        1978, there have been 35 attempts to shoot down civilian 
        aircraft, resulting in the catastrophic loss of 24 planes and 
        640 deaths.
            (4) Al Qaeda is the leading suspect in the November 2002 
        MANPAD attack against an Israeli airliner in Kenya and the May 
        2002 MANPAD attack against United States military aircraft in 
        Saudi Arabia.
    (b) Sense of Congress on MANPAD Threat Reduction.--Congress 
commends multilateral efforts to reduce the threat of MANPADS, 
including--
            (1) the action plan adopted during the G-8 Summit in Evian, 
        France, in June 2003 to enhance transport security and control 
        of MANPADS by--
                    (A) providing assistance and technical expertise 
                for the collection, secure stockpile management, and 
                destruction of surplus MANPADS;
                    (B) adopting strict national export controls on 
                MANPADS and their essential components;
                    (C) ensuring strong national regulation of the 
                production, transfer, and brokering of MANPADS;
                    (D) banning transfers of MANPADS to nonstate end-
                users and limiting the export of MANPADS to foreign 
                governments and their authorized agents;
                    (E) exchanging information on countries and 
                entities that do not cooperate in such efforts;
                    (F) examining the feasibility of development for 
                new MANPADS of specific technical performance or launch 
                control features that preclude their unauthorized use; 
                and
                    (G) encouraging action in the International Civil 
                Aviation Organization Aviation Security Working Group 
                on MANPADS; and
            (2) the strengthened guidelines adopted in November 2003 
        for export control over MANPADS by the Wassenaar Arrangement on 
        Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and 
        Technologies, which include an agreement to--
                    (A) share information regarding nonstate entities 
                that are or may be attempting to acquire MANPADS;
                    (B) dispose of excess stockpiles of MANPADS, 
                including buying back previously exported weapons;
                    (C) ensure that storage conditions for MANPADS are 
                sufficient to provide for the highest standards of 
                security and access control; and
                    (D) prevent the potential for diversion or misuse 
                of MANPADS in the recipient country.
    (c) Ban on Transfer to Nonstate Entities and Terrorist States.--
Congress urges the President to instruct the United States 
Representative to the United Nations to pursue a United Nations 
Security Council resolution to ban the transfer and sale of MANPADS to 
nonstate entities (including terrorist groups or individual 
terrorists).
    (d) Reports.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, and each year thereafter, the Secretary shall 
submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report that 
describes United States efforts to reduce the threat of MANPADS and the 
progress of the United States in obtaining the United Nations Security 
Council resolution described in subsection (c).
    (e) Availability of Funds.--Of the amount authorized to be 
appropriated in section 2125 for Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism, 
Demining, and Related Programs for fiscal year 2005, $10,000,000 is 
authorized to be available for multilateral and bilateral efforts to 
reduce the threat of MANPADS.

                TITLE XXIV--GLOBAL PATHOGEN SURVEILLANCE

SEC. 2401. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Global Pathogen Surveillance Act 
of 2004''.

SEC. 2402. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Bioterrorism poses a grave national security threat to 
        the United States. The insidious nature of the threat, the 
        likely delayed recognition in the event of an attack, and the 
        underpreparedness of the domestic public health infrastructure 
        may produce catastrophic consequences following a biological 
        weapons attack upon the United States.
            (2) A contagious pathogen engineered as a biological weapon 
        and developed, tested, produced, or released in another country 
        can quickly spread to the United States. Given the realities of 
        international travel, trade, and migration patterns, a 
        dangerous pathogen released anywhere in the world can spread to 
        United States territory in a matter of days, before any 
        effective quarantine or isolation measures can be implemented.
            (3) To effectively combat bioterrorism and ensure that the 
        United States is fully prepared to prevent, diagnose, and 
        contain a biological weapons attack, measures to strengthen the 
        domestic public health infrastructure and improve domestic 
        surveillance and monitoring, while absolutely essential, are 
        not sufficient.
            (4) The United States should enhance cooperation with the 
        World Health Organization, regional health organizations, and 
        individual countries, including data sharing with appropriate 
        United States departments and agencies, to help detect and 
        quickly contain infectious disease outbreaks or bioterrorism 
        agents before they can spread.
            (5) The World Health Organization (WHO) has done an 
        impressive job in monitoring infectious disease outbreaks 
        around the world, including the recent emergence of the Severe 
        Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic, particularly with 
        the establishment in April 2000 of the Global Outbreak Alert 
        and Response network.
            (6) The capabilities of the World Health Organization are 
        inherently limited by the quality of the data and information 
        it receives from member countries, the narrow range of diseases 
        (plague, cholera, and yellow fever) upon which its disease 
        surveillance and monitoring is based, and the consensus process 
        it uses to add new diseases to the list. Developing countries 
        in particular often cannot devote the necessary resources to 
        build and maintain public health infrastructures.
            (7) In particular, developing countries could benefit 
        from--
                    (A) better trained public health professionals and 
                epidemiologists to recognize disease patterns;
                    (B) appropriate laboratory equipment for diagnosis 
                of pathogens;
                    (C) disease reporting based on symptoms and signs 
                (known as ``syndrome surveillance''), affording the 
                earliest possible opportunity to conduct an effective 
                response;
                    (D) a narrowing of the existing technology gap in 
                syndrome surveillance capabilities and real-time 
                information dissemination to public health officials; 
                and
                    (E) appropriate communications equipment and 
                information technology to efficiently transmit 
                information and data within national and regional 
                health networks, including inexpensive, Internet-based 
                Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and relevant 
                telephone-based systems for early recognition and 
                diagnosis of diseases.
            (8) An effective international capability to monitor and 
        quickly diagnose infectious disease outbreaks will offer 
        dividends not only in the event of biological weapons 
        development, testing, production, and attack, but also in the 
        more likely cases of naturally occurring infectious disease 
        outbreaks that could threaten the United States. Furthermore, a 
        robust surveillance system will serve to deter terrorist use of 
        biological weapons, as early detection will help mitigate the 
        intended effects of such malevolent uses.
    (b) Purpose.--The purposes of this title are as follows:
            (1) To enhance the capability and cooperation of the 
        international community, including the World Health 
        Organization and individual countries, through enhanced 
        pathogen surveillance and appropriate data sharing, to detect, 
        identify, and contain infectious disease outbreaks, whether the 
        cause of those outbreaks is intentional human action or natural

SEC. <DELETED>2516.</DELETED> 2514. SUPPORT FOR CENTRAL AFRICAN STATES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In recent years, the Central African States of Burundi, 
        the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda have 
        all been involved in overlapping conflicts that have 
        destabilized the region and contributed to the deaths of 
        millions of civilians.
            (2) The Department's 2002 Country Report on Human Rights 
        Practices in Burundi states that, ``impunity for those who 
        committed serious human rights violations, and the continuing 
        lack of accountability for those who committed past abuses, 
        remained key factors in the country's continuing instability.''
            (3) The Department's 2002 Country Report on Human Rights 
        Practices in the Democratic Republic of the Congo states that, 
        ``the judiciary continued to be underfunded, inefficient, and 
        corrupt. It largely was ineffective as a deterrent to human 
        rights abuses or as a corrective force.''
            (4) The Department's 2002 Country Report on Human Rights 
        Practices in Rwanda states that ``there were credible reports 
        that Rwandan Defense Force units operating in the [Democratic 
        Republic of the Congo] committed deliberate unlawful killings 
        and other serious abuses, and impunity remained a problem,'' 
        and that ``the Government continued to conduct genocide trials 
        at a slow pace.''
            (5) The Department's 2002 Country Report on Human Rights 
        Practices in Uganda states that ``security forces used 
        excessive force, at times resulting in death, and committed or 
        failed to prevent extrajudicial killings of suspected rebels 
        and civilians. The Government enacted measures to improve the 
        discipline and training of security forces and punished some 
        security force officials who were guilty of abuses; however, 
        abuses by the security forces remained a problem.''
            (6) Ongoing human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic 
        of the Congo, including ethnically-based conflict, threaten the 
        integrity and viability of the Congolese peace process.
    (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States 
Government to support--
            (1) efforts aimed at accounting for the grave human rights 
        abuses and crimes against humanity that have taken place 
        throughout the central African region since 1993;
            (2) programs to encourage reconciliation in communities 
        affected by such crimes; and
            (3) efforts aimed at preventing such crimes in the future.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees a report on the actions taken by the United States 
Government to implement the policy set out in subsection (b).
    (d) Authorization.--Of the amounts made available under chapter 4 
of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et 
seq.), up to $12,000,000 may be made available for fiscal year 2005 to 
support the development of responsible justice and reconciliation 
mechanisms in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, 
and Uganda, including programs to increase awareness of gender-based 
violence and to improve local capacity to prevent and respond to such 
violence.

        and billions of dollars in pending reparation claims through 
        the United Nations Compensation Commission.
            (2) In October 2003, The International Donors' Conference 
        for the Reconstruction of Iraq provided between $14,000,000,000 
        and $17,900,000,000 in financial assistance for Iraq, primarily 
        in the form of loans. In November 2003, Congress appropriated 
        $18,600,000,000 in grants for the economic reconstruction of 
        Iraq.
            (3) President George W. Bush said on December 5, 2003, that 
        ``[t]he future of the Iraqi people should not be mortgaged to 
        the enormous burden of debt incurred to enrich Saddam Hussein's 
        regime. This debt endangers Iraq's long-term prospects for 
        political health and economic prosperity. The issue of Iraq 
        debt must be resolved in a manner that is fair and that does 
        not unjustly burden a struggling nation at its moment of hope 
        and promise.''.
            (4) The current moratorium on Iraq's debt repayment 
        obligations will end on December 31, 2004.
            (5) According to the January 2004 Congressional Budget 
        Office paper ``Paying for Iraq's Reconstruction'', ``Iraqi 
        officials do not anticipate paying high levels of war 
        reparations or interest on foreign debt. Thus if Iraq fails to 
        achieve substantial relief from its international obligations, 
        it may have trouble funding any rebuilding efforts.''.
            (6) The successful economic reconstruction of Iraq will 
        require the support and cooperation of the international 
        community, including the United Nations, the World Bank, the 
        International Monetary Fund, and the Paris Club, for economic 
        assistance and substantial debt relief before December 31, 
        2004.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress--
            (1) that it is in the best interests of the United States 
        to work with Iraq and Iraq's creditors to renegotiate a 
        substantially reduced debt and reparations burden for Iraq;
            (2) to commend the President for seeking the support of the 
        international community to build a stable and secure Iraq, 
        including diplomatic efforts to provide substantial debt relief 
        for Iraq, and for the appointment by the President of James 
        Baker III as his personal envoy for negotiations regarding Iraq 
        debt; and
            (3) to encourage and support the efforts of the President 
        to call upon our allies and Iraq's creditors in the Middle East 
        to provide economic assistance and debt and reparations relief 
        as a sign of support for this new era in Iraq's history.

SEC. 2521. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN IRAQ.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Iraqi Governing Council has adopted resolutions 
        which, although not approved by the Coalition Provisional 
        Authority, if enacted, could threaten the rights of women in 
        Iraq and deny women in Iraq the custody of their children, 
        inheritance rights, voting rights, and the right to divorce.
            (2) While Ambassador Paul Bremer, the Administrator of the 
        Coalition Provisional Authority, has stated that he will 
        ``oppose any measure that reduces legal protections for women 
        and children,'' his authority to veto measures adopted by the 
        Iraqi Governing Council is scheduled to expire with the 
        transfer of sovereignty to Iraq on June 30, 2004.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the rights 
of women in Iraq, including their full participation in government and 
society, should be protected following the transfer of sovereignty to 
Iraq in June 2004.

SEC. 2522. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NATIONAL ELECTIONS IN AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Under the Bonn Agreement, Afghanistan is scheduled to 
        have elections for President and Parliament by June 2004.
            (2) As of February 26, 2004, the United Nations Assistance 
        Mission to Afghanistan (UNAMA) reported that nearly 1,200,000 
        Afghans had registered to vote, out of the estimated 10,500,000 
        Afghans who are eligible to register, and that of those 
        registered to vote, only 26 percent are women.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) in order for successful elections that are both fair 
        and free to take place in Afghanistan, adequate security must 
        be present throughout that country; and
            (2) the United Nations Assistance Mission to Afghanistan 
        should continue to increase its efforts to register Afghan 
        women to vote in order to ensure their full and active 
        participation in elections in Afghanistan.
