SEC. 404. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE UNITED NATIONS BUDGETARY DISCIPLINE 
              AND MANAGEMENT REFORM.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) It is the responsibility of Congress to ensure that 
        international organizations that receive contributions from the 
        United States, including the United Nations, utilize United 
        States taxpayer money in a manner that is effective and cost-
        efficient, and that promotes the policy goals of the United 
        States.
            (2) The United States contributes 22 percent of the United 
        Nations regular budget and approximately 27 percent of costs 
        associated with United Nations peacekeeping operations.
            (3) The member states of the United Nations have increased 
        the regular budget by more than $1,000,000,000 since the 1994-
        1995 biennium to deal with evolving global issues.
            (4) The member states of the United Nations have made 
        commitments which have increased the costs of United Nations 
        peacekeeping operations to more than $5,000,000,000 during the 
        2005-2006 biennium.
            (5) The February 3, 2005, report of the Independent Inquiry 
        Committee into the United Nations Oil-for-Food Programme found 
        significant weaknesses in United Nations management and 
        internal oversight of the Oil-for-Food Programme, including a 
        determination that the actions of the Executive Director of the 
        United Nations Office of the Iraq Programme, which administered 
        the Oil-for-Food Programme in Iraq, created ``grave and 
        continuing conflict of interest, were ethically improper, and 
        seriously undermined the integrity of the United Nations''.
            (6) The United States Government Accountability Office 
        found that the audit and summary reports of the United Nations 
        Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) revealed numerous 
        deficiencies in the management and internal controls of the 
        Oil-for-Food Programme, and that United Nations management and 
        the Office of the Iraq Programme prevented OIOS from reporting 
        its results directly to the United Nations Security Council.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United Nations should comply fully with its 
        commitments to budgetary discipline and management reform; and
            (2) the Secretary should instruct any United States 
        representative to the United Nations to use the voice and vote 
        of the United States to seek to enact significant and necessary 
        changes to improve the accountability and increase the 
        transparency of the United Nations processes, including in its 
        peacekeeping missions around the world, as part of the follow-
        up to the 2005 United Nations report on reform initiatives 
        entitled ``The Report of the Secretary-General's High-level 
        Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change''.

SEC. 602. INTERNATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMS.

    (a) Sense of Congress on Reciprocity Agreements.--It is the sense 
of Congress that the United States should negotiate reciprocity 
agreements with foreign countries with the goal of mutual agreement on 
extending the validity of student and scholar visas to 4 years and 
permitting multiple entry into the United States by an individual using 
a student or scholar visa.
    (b) Consular Officer Guidance.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                    (A) The United States has a strategic interest in 
                encouraging international students, scholars, 
                scientists, and exchange visitors to visit the United 
                States to study, collaborate in research, and to 
                develop personal relationships.
                    (B) Openness to international students, scholars, 
                scientists, and exchange visitors serves vital and 
                longstanding national foreign policy, educational, and 
                economic interests and the erosion of such openness 
                undermines the national security interests of the 
                United States.
                    (C) Educating successive generations of future 
                world leaders has long been a foundation of the United 
                States international influence and leadership.
                    (D) Open scientific exchange enables the United 
                States to benefit from the knowledge of the world's top 
                students and scientists and has been a critical factor 
                in maintaining the United States leadership in science 
                and technology.
                    (E) Improvements to the visa processing procedures 
                of the United States would enhance the national 
                security of the United States by permitting--
                            (i) closer scrutiny of visa applicants who 
                        might pose threats to national security; and
                            (ii) timely adjudication of visa 
                        applications submitted by individuals whose 
                        presence in the United States serves an 
                        important national interest.
            (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                    (A) improvements to the visa processing procedures 
                of the United States that should be considered for 
                implementation include--
                            (i) an operational visa policy that 
                        articulates the national interest of the United 
                        States in denying entry to visitors who seek to 
                        harm the United States and in opening entry to 
                        legitimate visitors, to guide consular officers 
                        in achieving the appropriate balance;
                            (ii) focusing the efforts of the visa 
                        system on visitors who require special 
                        screening, while minimizing delays for 
                        legitimate visitors; and
                            (iii) a timely, transparent, and 
                        predictable visa process, through appropriate 
                        guidelines for inter-agency review of visa 
                        applications; and
                    (B) the Secretary should continue to issue updated 
                appropriate guidance to consular officers to improve 
                the procedures for processing visa applications in 
                order to facilitate United States openness to 
                international student, scholar, scientist, and 
                international visitors.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of

Education, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Homeland Security, and

SEC. 809. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON TERRORIST ATTACK ON UNITED STATES 
              CONSULATE IN JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on December 4, 2004, five 
        armed terrorists entered the compound of the United States 
        Consulate with the likely intention to murder Americans.
            (2) The combined efforts of the United States Embassy 
        Marine Security Guard detachment and the perimeter security 
        guards prevented the attackers from breaching the chancery 
        building in spite of intense machine gun fire by the 
        terrorists.
            (3) Based on their inability to enter the main building, 
        the terrorists attempted to learn the location of any other 
        Americans who might be in the compound.
            (4) In spite of imminent threats of death, United States 
        Consulate employees refused to divulge the whereabouts of any 
        United States staff, including those they had hidden nearby.
            (5) During the attack and in the ensuing battle with Saudi 
        National Guard units, the following four Foreign Service 
        Nationals were murdered:
                    (A) Ali Yaslem BinTalib, from Yemen, who worked for 
                the United States Government for more than 25 years, 
                who leaves behind a wife.
                    (B) Imad-E-Deen Musa All, from Sudan, who worked 
                for the United States Government for more than 26 
                years, who leaves behind a wife and two daughters aged 
                16 and 13.
                    (C) Mohammed Basheer Uddin, from India, who worked 
                for the United States Government for 16 months, who 
                leaves behind a wife and elder brother.
                    (D) Romeo Dela Rosa, from the Philippines, who 
                worked for the United States Government for more than 
                12 years, who leaves behind a wife and 12 year old son.
            (6) During the attack, Jaufar Sadik of Sri Lanka died 
        returning fire against the attackers in his capacity as a local 
        guard while protecting the Consulate.
            (7) During the attack, 10 other Foreign Service Nationals 
        were seriously injured.
            (8) The Governments of the United States and Saudi Arabia 
        remain committed to bringing those responsible for planning, 
        assisting, and carrying out these attacks to justice.
            (9) The United States and Saudi Arabia are allied by a 
        common interest in building a stable, peaceful, and prosperous 
        world.
            (10) The acts of murder committed on December 6, 2004, 
        demonstrate again that terrorism respects neither boundaries 
        nor borders.
    (b) Sense of Congress on Attack on Consulate.--Congress--
            (1) notes the vital role that Foreign Service Nationals 
        serve throughout the world and recognizes their integral 
        efforts in providing for the operation of diplomacy overseas;
            (2) applauds the quick thinking on the part of the Marine 
        Security Guards to secure the chancery when the attack on the 
        United States Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, occurred;
            (3) expresses its condolences to the families of the 
        individuals murdered in the terrorist attack;
            (4) expresses its sympathies to the individuals injured in 
        the attack;
            (5) conveys its hope for the rapid and complete recovery of 
        all such injured individuals; and
            (6) expresses its solidarity with all those countries that 
        stand united against terrorism and work together to bring to 
        justice the perpetrators of this and other terrorist attacks.

SEC. 810. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN IN ELECTIONS IN 
              SAUDI ARABIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On February 10, 2005, for the first time in over forty 
        years, Saudi Arabia held the first stage of nationwide 
        municipal elections.
            (2) Women in Saudi Arabia were not permitted to run for 
        office or vote during these municipal elections.
            (3) While the United States acknowledges the deep cultural 
        and religious traditions and sentiments within Saudi society, 
        without the right to vote, Saudi women are denied not only a 
        basic human right but also the ability to contribute fully to 
        the economic development, modernization and prosperity of their 
        own country.
            (4) According to the State Department's 2004 Report on 
        Human Rights Practices, in Saudi Arabia ``women have few 
        political or social rights and were not treated as equal 
        members of society. There were no active women's rights 
        groups.''.
            (5) In December 2003, a petition submitted by more than 300 
        Saudi Arabian women called for greater rights for women in 
        Saudi Arabia and greater recognition of their contributions to 
        society.
            (6) The Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Saud Al Faisal 
        stated after the election that he assumed women will be allowed 
        to vote in future elections and that modernization of Saudi 
        society was taking place because of the actions of Saudi women 
        themselves.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the municipal elections in Saudi Arabia are a positive 
        initial step in broadening civic participation; and
            (2) it is in the interest of Saudi Arabia to permit women 
        to run for office and vote in all future elections.

SEC. 811. STRATEGY ON COMBATTING TERRORISM IN WEST AFRICA.

    (a) Requirement for Strategy.--Not later than 6 months after the

with the Secretary of Defense, the Director of the Central Intelligence 
Agency, and the Administrator of the United States Agency for 
International Development, shall submit to the Committee on Foreign 
Relations of the Senate and Committee on International Relations of the 
House of Representatives a strategy for combating terrorism in West 
Africa during the 3-year period beginning on such date.

        international terrorist organizations in West Africa;
            (2) an interagency plan for dealing with the threats posed 
        by international terrorist organizations in West Africa;
            (3) a description of the resources required to implement 
        the plan described in paragraph (2);
            (4) a description of the planned coordination with all 
        other regional counter-terrorism efforts including the Pan-
        Sahel and East Africa Counter-Terrorism Initiatives, and any 
        other similar programs in the region, including in North 
        Africa; and
            (5) an analysis of the expected level of cooperation from 
        countries in West Africa and other appropriate countries in 
        implementing the plan described in paragraph (2).

            ``(1) Developing countries often have large reserves of 
        privately held capital that are not being adequately mobilized 
        and invested due to weak financial institutions and other 
        market imperfections in such countries.
            ``(2) Partial loan guarantees, particularly when used as an 
        integral part of a development strategy, are useful to leverage 
        local private capital for development while reforming and 
        strengthening developing country financial markets.
            ``(3) Requiring risk-sharing guarantees and limiting 
        guarantee assistance to private lenders encourages such lenders 
        to provide appropriate oversight and management of development 
        projects funded with loans made by such lenders and, thereby, 
        maximize the benefit which such projects will achieve.
    ``(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to make 
partial loan guarantees available to private lenders to fund 
development projects in developing countries that encourage such 
lenders to provide appropriate oversight and management of such 
development projects.
    ``(c) Authority.--To carry out the policy set forth in subsection 
(b), the President is authorized to provide assistance in the form of 
loans and partial loan guarantees to private lenders in developing 
countries to achieve the economic development purposes of the 
provisions of this part.
    ``(d) Policies To Limit Financial Risk to the United States.--
            ``(1) Priority for assistance.--The President, in providing 
        assistance under this section, shall give priority to providing 
        partial loan guarantees made pursuant to the authority in 
        subsection (c) that are used in transactions in which the 
        financial risk of loss to the United States Government under 
        such guarantee does not exceed the financial risk of loss of 
        the private lender that receives such guarantee.
            ``(2) Maximum exposure.--The investment or risk of the 
        United States in any one development project may not exceed 70 
        percent of the total outstanding investment or risk associated 
        with such project.
    ``(e) Terms and Conditions.--
            ``(1) In general.--Assistance provided under this section 
        shall be provided on such terms and conditions as the President

        borrower.--The principal amount of loans made or guaranteed 
        under this section in any fiscal year, with respect to any 
        single country or borrower, may not exceed $100,000,000.

declarations:
            (1) The United States and the international community have 
        long-term interests in the stability, security and prosperity 
        of the people of the Middle East and North Africa and their 
        ability to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
            (2) The United States and the international community 
        should, through a Middle East Partnership Initiative, support 
        modernization and reform efforts that advance education, 
        promote economic opportunity, foster private sector 
        development, strengthen civil society, and enhance security in 
        the Middle East and North Africa.
            (3) The United States recognizes that the countries 
        included in this large region have many forms of government and 
        are at varying stages of economic, political, and social 
        development; and that any assistance and cooperative efforts in 
        these nations should aim to improve the lives of individuals 
        and take into account cultural, historical, and religious 
        factors in each country.
            (4) The United States further recognizes that modernization 
        and reform in countries included in this large region must be 
        generated by the people of these nations themselves and that 
        their efforts will require long-term, sustained, and multi-
        dimensional assistance and cooperative support from the United 
        States and others in the international community.
            (5) The United States Government, in particular, should 
        provide its expertise to enhance the efforts of governments in 
        the Middle East and North Africa to address the gaps identified 
        in the Arab Development Reports of 2002 and 2003, including 
        diffusion of knowledge, freedom, and women's empowerment, as 
        follows:
                    (A) To address the knowledge deficit, the United 
                States should support the efforts of governments in the 
                Middle East and North Africa to revamp antiquated and 
                under-resourced education systems, tapping human 
                capital in the region and drawing from the rich 
                cultural, linguistic, and intellectual heritage of 
                these states. United States efforts should support a 
                broader quality of education and wider availability of 
                education within these societies.
                    (B) To encourage greater human freedoms, the United 
                States Government should support efforts that increase 
                the ability of people to freely express ideas and 
                opinions, to associate with one another, to influence 
                governing systems, and to fully participate in 
                political processes.
                    (C) To support empowerment of women in this large 
                region, the United States Government should support 
                programs that are gender-inclusive, gender-sensitive, 
                and that increase the role of women in society, the 
                market place, and governance.
            (6) Fostering modernization, reform, development, and 
        stability in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa 
        will help eliminate environments that fuel terrorism by 
        expanding opportunities for education, decreasing isolationism, 
        improving the welfare of the people of the region, and 
        promoting the active involvement of citizens in the direction 
        and development of their society and systems of governance.
    (b) Purposes of Assistance.--The purposes of assistance authorized 
by this section are to support through the Middle East Partnership 
Initiative programs and activities--
            (1) to help achieve broad-based, multi-ethnic, gender-
        sensitive, and fully representative governments in the Middle 
        East and North Africa that are freely chosen by the people of 
        each country and that respect the human rights of all people, 
        particularly women;
            (2) to help modernize the institutions and infrastructure

        full participation in society, enhancing civil society, 
        independent media, the judiciary and the rule of law;
            (3) to support the continued efforts of the United States 
        Government and the international community to address gaps 
        identified by the Arab Development Reports of 2002 and 2003, 
        especially regarding diffusion of knowledge, advancement of 
        human freedom, and empowerment of women, in the countries of 
        the Middle East and North Africa; and
            (4) to support the economic development of the Middle East 
        and North Africa through programs that create jobs, educate and

        stated that avian flu is ``a very ominous situation for the 
        globe'' and that avian flu is ``the most important threat we 
        are facing right now''.
            (2) On February 23, 2005, Dr. Shigeru Omi, Regional 
        Director for the Western Pacific Region of the World Health 
        Organization (WHO), stated with respect to the avian flu,

        possible danger of a pandemic''.

        the avian flu, the strain of the avian flu which is infecting

        has a 72-percent mortality rate.
            (4) At an international conference in Vietnam on the avian 
        flu held in February 2005, the WHO called for at least 
        $100,000,000 in new funding to combat avian flu before the

                    (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) 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

                TITLE XXIV--GLOBAL PATHOGEN SURVEILLANCE

SEC. 2401. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Global Pathogen Surveillance Act 
of 2005''.

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) The United States is working with states of the former 
        Soviet Union to monitor disease outbreaks in that region, and 
        it has begun a program under the United States-Mexico Border 
        Health Commission to work with the Secretariat of Health of the 
        government of Mexico and the States of Mexico that border the 
        United States by providing, among other forms of assistance, 
        assistance of the kind provided for in this title. What is 
        needed now is an effort to improve pathogen surveillance 
        worldwide.
            (9) 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 
        in origin.
            (2) To enhance the training of public health professionals 
        and epidemiologists from eligible developing countries in 
        advanced Internet-based and other electronic syndrome 
        surveillance systems, in addition to traditional epidemiology 
        methods, so that they may better detect, diagnose, and contain 
        infectious disease outbreaks, especially those due to pathogens 
        most likely to be used in a biological weapons attack.
            (3) To provide assistance to developing countries to 
        purchase appropriate public health laboratory equipment 
        necessary for infectious disease surveillance and diagnosis.
            (4) To provide assistance to developing countries to 
        purchase appropriate communications equipment and information 
        technology, including, as appropriate, relevant computer 
        equipment, Internet connectivity mechanisms, and telephone-
        based applications to effectively gather, analyze, and transmit 
        public health information for infectious disease surveillance 
        and diagnosis.
            (5) To make available greater numbers of United States 
        Government public health professionals to international health 
        organizations, regional health networks, and United States 
        diplomatic missions where appropriate.
            (6) To establish ``lab-to-lab'' cooperative relationships 
        between United States public health laboratories and 
        established foreign counterparts.
            (7) To expand the training and outreach activities of 
        overseas United States laboratories, including Centers for 
        Disease Control and Prevention and Department of Defense 
        entities, to enhance the disease surveillance capabilities of 
        developing countries.
            (8) To provide appropriate technical assistance to existing 
        regional health networks and, where appropriate, seed money for 
        new regional networks.

are necessary may be made available in fiscal years 2006 and 2007 to

        who work in the print media.

SEC. 2513. SUPPORT FOR JUSTICE SECTOR IN CENTRAL AFRICAN STATES AND THE 
              AFRICAN UNION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The President has expressed enthusiasm for increasing 
        African judicial capacity and for supporting the development of 
        the African Union's proposed African Court of Justice.
            (2) 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.
            (3) The Department of State's 2004 Country Report on Human 
        Rights Practices in Burundi states that ``impunity and the 
        continuing lack of accountability for those who committed past 
        abuses remained serious problems.''
            (4) The Department of State's 2004 Country Report on Human 
        Rights Practices in Rwanda states that ``arbitrary arrest and 
        detention and prolonged pretrial detention remained serious 
        problems. . . .  The judiciary did not always ensure due 
        process or expeditious trials. The Government continued to 
        conduct genocide trials at a slow pace.''
            (5) The Department of State's 2004 Country Report on Human 
        Rights Practices in the Democratic Republic of the Congo states 
        that ``government security forces committed unlawful killings, 
        torture, beatings, acts of rape, extortion, and other abuses, 
        such as lootings and interference with citizens, right to 
        privacy. In general, security forces operated with impunity. . 
        . .   Armed groups committed numerous, serious abuses with 
        impunity against civilians, including deliberate large-scale 
        killings, the burning of villages, kidnappings, torture, rape, 
        cannibalism, mutilation, looting, and extortion.''
            (6) The Department of State's 2004 Country Report on Human 
        Rights Practices in Uganda states that ``the Government 
        punished some security force officials who were guilty of 
        abuses; however, impunity remained a problem. . . . Poor 
        judicial administration, lack of resources, a large case 
        backlog, and lengthy trial delays limited due process rights, 
        including the right to a fair trial.''
            (7) The report submitted to Congress by the Secretary on 
        February 2, 2005, under section 4 of the Northern Uganda Crisis 
        Response Act (Public Law 108-283) states that ``The UPDF 
        [Ugandan People's Defense Force] is feared by many ordinary 
        civilians in northern Uganda and its record of civil-military 
        relations is mixed. . . .  The relation between the UPDF's 
        complaint processing system, the civil judicial process, and 
        the UHCR [Ugandan Human Rights Commission] needs to be 
        clarified, and links between the various systems need to be 
        strengthened.''
    (b) Authorization of Appropriations.--
            (1) 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 $15,000,000 may be made available for fiscal year 
        2006 to support the development of responsible justice and 
        reconciliation mechanisms in the Democratic Republic of the 
        Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda, including programs to 
        combat impunity for abuses committed by the security services 
        and programs to increase awareness of gender-based violence and 
        to improve local capacity to prevent and respond to such 
        violence.
            (2) Of the amounts made available under chapter 3 of part I 
        of such Act for International Organizations and Programs, such 
        sums as may be necessary may be made available to support the 
        efforts of the African Union to enhance its judicial capacity.
    (c) Report.--
            (1) Report required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
        date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit a 
        report to the appropriate congressional committees on efforts 
        to strengthen the judicial capacity in Africa.
            (2) Content.--The report required under paragraph (1) shall 
        include a description of--
                    (A) the steps that the Department of State has

                the African Union to determine what technical, 
                logistical, financial, or political support the United 
                States could provide to more effectively strengthen 
                judicial capacity in Africa;
                    (B) the specific requests made by the African Union 
                for assistance to strengthen judicial capacity in 
                Africa;
                    (C) the assistance provided thus far by the United 
                States Government to the African Union for the purposes 
                of strengthening the institutional and judicial 
                capacity of the African Union;
                    (D) a 5-year strategy for bolstering the judicial 
                capacity of the African Union; and
                    (E) the specific steps taken by the Department of 
                State and additional steps planned in the next 5 years 
                to address the ongoing impunity for grave human rights 
                abuses and to increase independent judicial capacity in

                Uganda.

        and a humanitarian and moral responsibility in assisting the 
        Government and people of Haiti in resolving the country's 
        problems and challenges.
            (3) The situation in Haiti is increasingly cause for alarm 
        and concern, and a sustained, coherent, and active approach by 
        the United States Government is needed to make progress toward 
        resolving Haiti's political and economic crises.

                sufficient to adequately retrain the Haitian National 
                Police.

SEC. 2521. UNITED STATES POLICY ON TSUNAMI RELIEF AND RECONSTRUCTION IN 
              ACEH, INDONESIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The destruction in South and Southeast Asia caused by 
        the tsunami that occurred on December 26, 2004, has created a 
        possible opportunity for progress in resolving the 30-year 
        dispute between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh 
        Movement (GAM).
            (2) In negotiations during February 2005, the GAM and 
        Government of Indonesia made important progress in resolving 
        some of their differences, prompting the Vice President of 
        Indonesia to say he was pleased with the progress of the talks 
        and that ``[t]he result is much better than [the result of] 
        previous meetings''.
            (3) In a joint statement, issued on January 25, 2005, the 
        Co-Chairs of the Tokyo Conference on Reconstruction and 
        Development of Sri Lanka stated that tsunami assistance should 
        adhere to ``basic principles of equity'' and be ``sensitive to 
        and strengthens the Peace Process''.
    (b) Policy.--It should be the policy of the United States to work 
to formulate a joint statement with other donor countries which are 
providing assistance for tsunami relief and reconstruction efforts in 
Aceh, Indonesia, that calls for the provision of such assistance--
            (1) to be equitably distributed throughout the impacted 
        areas of Indonesia; and
            (2) to be used to strengthen and support the negotiations 
        between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement.

SEC. 2522. DRUG PRICE TRANSPARENCY IN THE EMERGENCY PLAN FOR AIDS 
              RELIEF.

    (a) Requirement for Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Coordinator of United States Government 
Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS Globally shall make available to the 
public a report setting forth the amount of United States funding 
provided under the authorities of the United States Leadership Against 
HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7601 et 
seq.), or under an amendment made to that Act, to procure anti-
retroviral drugs in a country described in section 1(f)(2)(B)(VII) of 
the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 
2651a(f)(2)(B)(VII). The report shall include a detailed description of 
the anti-retroviral drugs procured, including--
            (1) the amount expended for generics and name brand drugs;
            (2) the price paid per unit of each drug; and
            (3) the vendor from which the drugs were purchased.
    (b) Annual Update.--The Coordinator of United States Government 
Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS Globally shall update the report required 
by subsection (a) by January 31 each year and make such updates 
available to the public.

                         TITLE XXVI--SAFE WATER

SEC. 2601. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Safe Water: Currency for Peace Act 
of 2005''.

SEC. 2602. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Water-related diseases are a human tragedy, killing and 
        debilitating millions of people annually, preventing millions 
        of people from leading healthy lives, and undermining 
        development efforts.
            (2) Providing safe supplies of water, and sanitation and 
        hygiene improvements would save millions of lives by reducing 
        the prevalence of water-borne diseases, water-based diseases, 
        water-privation diseases, and water-related vector diseases.
            (3) An estimated 1,800,000 people die of diarrhoeal 
        diseases every year. Ninety percent of these people are 
        children under the age of five who live in developing 
        countries. Simple household and personal hygiene measures, such 
        as household water treatment and safe storage and effective 
        hand washing with soap, reduce the burden of diarrhoeal disease 
        by more than 40 percent.
            (4) According to the World Health Organization, 88 percent 
        of diarrhoeal disease can be attributed to unsafe water supply, 
        and inadequate sanitation and hygiene.
            (5) Around the world, more than 150,000,000 people are 
        threatened by blindness caused by trachoma, a disease that is 
        spread through poor hygiene and sanitation, and aggravated by 
        inadequate water supply.
            (6) Chronic intestinal helminth infections are a leading 
        source of global morbidity, including cognitive impairment and 
        anemia for hundred of millions of children and adults. Access 
        to safe water and sanitation and better hygiene practices can 
        greatly reduce the number of these infections.
            (7) Schistosomiasis is a disease that affects 200,000,000 
        people, 20,000,000 of whom suffer serious consequences, 
        including liver and intestinal damage. Improved water resource 
        management to reduce infestation of surface water, improved 
        sanitation and hygiene, and deworming treatment can 
        dramatically reduce this burden.
            (8) In 2002, 2,600,000,000 people lacked access to improved 
        sanitation. In sub-Saharan Africa, only 36 percent of the 
        population has access to improved sanitation. In developing 
        countries, only 31 percent of the population in rural areas has 
        access to improved sanitation.
            (9) Improved management of water resources can contribute 
        to comprehensive strategies for controlling mosquito 
        populations associated with life-threatening vector-borne 
        diseases in developing countries, especially malaria, which 
        kills more than 1,000,000 people each year, most of whom are 
        children.
            (10) Natural disasters such as floods and droughts threaten 
        people's health. Floods contaminate drinking-water systems with 
        industrial waste refuse, sewage, and human and animal excreta. 
        Droughts exacerbate malnutrition and limit access to drinking 
        water supplies. Sound water resource management can mitigate 
        the impact of such natural disasters.
            (11) The United Nations Population Fund report entitled 
        ``Water: A Critical Resource'' stated that ``Nearly 500 million 
        people [suffer from] water stress or serious water scarcity. 
        Under current trends, two-thirds of the world's population may 
        be subject to moderate to high water stress by 2025''. 
        Effective water management and equitable allocation of scarce 
        water supplies for all uses will become increasingly important 
        for meeting both human and ecosystem water needs in the future.
            (12) The participants in the World Summit on Sustainable 
        Development, held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2002, 
        agreed to the Plan of Implementation of the World Summit on 
        Sustainable Development which included an agreement to work to 
        reduce by one-half ``the proportion of people who are unable to 
        reach or afford safe drinking water,'' and ``the proportion of 
        people without access to basic sanitation'' by 2015.
            (13) At the World Summit on Sustainable Development, 
        building on the U.S.-Japan Partnership for Security and 
        Prosperity announced in June 2001 by President Bush and Prime 
        Minister Koizumi, the United States and Japan announced a Clean 
        Water for People Initiative to cooperate in providing safe 
        water and sanitation to the world's poor, improve watershed 
        management, and increase the productivity of water.
            (14) At the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the 
        United States announced the Water for the Poor Initiative which 
        committed the United States to provide $750,000,000 over 3 
        years to increase access to safe water and sanitation services, 
        improve watershed management, and increase the productivity of 
        water. During fiscal year 2004, the United States provided an 
        estimated $472,000,000 in assistance to the Water for the Poor 
        Initiative, including funds made available for reconstruction 
        activities in Iraq, of which $388,000,000 was made available 
        for safe drinking water and sanitation programs.
            (15) During fiscal year 2004, the United States provided 
        $49,000,000 in assistance for activities to provide safe 
        drinking water and sanitation in sub-Saharan Africa, an amount 
        that is equal to 6.5 percent of total United States foreign 
        assistance provided for all water activities in the Water for 
        the Poor Initiative.
            (16) At the 2003 Summit of the Group of Eight in Evian, 
        France, the members of the Group of Eight produced a plan 
        entitled ``Water: A G8 Action Plan'' that stated that a lack of 
        water can undermine human security. The Action Plan committed 
        the members of the Group of Eight to playing a more active role 
        in international efforts to provide safe water and sanitation 
        to the world's poor by mobilizing domestic resources in 
        developing countries for water infrastructure financing through 
        the development and strengthening of local capital markets and 
        financial institutions, particularly by establishing, where 
        appropriate, at the national and local levels, revolving funds 
        that offer local currency financings, which allow communities 
        to finance capital-intensive water infrastructure projects over 
        an affordable period of time at competitive rates.
            (17) The G8 Action Plan also committed members of the Group 
        of Eight to provide risk mitigation mechanisms for such 
        revolving funds and to provide technical assistance for the 
        development of efficient local financial markets and building 
        municipal government capacity to design and implement 
        financially viable projects and provide, as appropriate, 
        targeted subsidies for the poorest communities that cannot 
        fully service market rate debt.
            (18) The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 58/217 
        of February 9, 2004, proclaimed ``the period from 2005 to 2015 
        the International Decade for Action, `Water for Life', to 
        commence on World Water Day, 22 March 2005'' for the purpose of 
        increasing the focus of the international community on water-
        related issues at all levels and on the implementation of 
        water-related programs and projects.

SEC. 2603. WATER FOR HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT.

    (a) In General.--Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 
U.S.C. 2151 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 104C the 
following new section:

``SEC. 104D. WATER FOR HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT.

    ``(a) Finding.--Congress makes the following findings:
            ``(1) Access to safe water and sanitation and improved 
        hygiene are significant factors in controlling the spread of 
        disease in the developing world and positively affecting 
        economic development.
            ``(2) The health of children and other vulnerable rural and 
        urban populations in developing countries, especially sub-
        Saharan Africa and South Asia, is threatened by a lack of 
        adequate safe water, sanitation, and hygiene.
            ``(3) Efforts to meet United States foreign assistance 
        objectives, including those related to agriculture, the human 
        immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency 
        syndrome (AIDS), and the environment will be advanced by 
        improving access to safe water and sanitation and promoting 
        sound water management throughout the world.
            ``(4) Developing sustainable financing mechanisms, 
        including private sector financing, is critical to the long-
        term sustainability of improved water supply, sanitation, and 
        hygiene.
            ``(5) The annual level of investment needed to meet the 
        water and sanitation needs of developing countries far exceeds 
        the amount of Official Development Assistance (ODA) and 
        spending by governments of developing countries, so attracting 
        greater public and private investment is essential.
            ``(6) Long-term sustainability in the provision of access 
        to safe water and sanitation and in the maintenance of water 
        and sanitation facilities requires a legal and regulatory 
        environment conducive to private sector investment and private 
        sector participation in the delivery of water and sanitation 
        services.
            ``(7) The absence of robust domestic financial markets and 
        sources for long-term financing are a major impediment to the 
        development of water and sanitation projects in developing 
        countries.
            ``(8) At the 2003 Summit of the Group of Eight in Evian, 
        France, the members of the Group of Eight produced a plan 
        entitled `Water: A G8 Action Plan' that contemplated the 
        promotion of domestic revolving funds to provide local currency 
        financing for capital-intensive water infrastructure projects. 
        Innovative financing mechanisms such as revolving funds and 
        pooled-financings have been very effective vehicles for 
        mobilizing domestic savings for investments in water and 
        sanitation both in the United States and in some developing 
        countries. These mechanisms can serve as a catalyst for greater 
        investment in water and sanitation projects by villages, small 
        towns, and municipalities.
            ``(9) The G8 Action Plan also committed members of the 
        Group of Eight to improving coordination and cooperation 
        between donors, and such improved coordination and cooperation 
        is essential for enlarging the beneficial impact of donor 
        initiatives.
    ``(b) Policy.--It is a major objective of United States foreign 
assistance--
            ``(1) to promote good health and economic development by 
        providing assistance to expand access to safe water and 
        sanitation, promote sound water management, and improve hygiene 
        for people around the world; and
            ``(2) to promote, to the maximum extent practicable and 
        appropriate, long-term sustainability in the provision of 
        access to safe water and sanitation by encouraging private 
        investment in water and sanitation infrastructure and services.
    ``(c) Authorization.--
            ``(1) In general.--To carry out the policy set out in 
        subsection (b), the President is authorized to furnish 
        assistance, including health information and education, to 
        advance good health and promote economic development by 
        improving the safety of water supplies, expanding access to 
        safe water and sanitation, promoting sound water management, 
        and promoting better hygiene.
            ``(2) Local currency.--The President may use payments made 
        in local currencies under an agreement made under title I of 
        the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954 
        (7 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to provide assistance under this 
        section, including assistance for activities related to 
        drilling or maintaining wells.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 104(c) of the Agricultural Trade 
Development and Assistance Act of 1954 (7 U.S.C. 1704(c)) is amended by 
adding at the end the following new paragraph:
            ``(9) Safe water.--To provide assistance under section 104D 
        of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to advance good health 
        and promote economic development by improving the safety of 
        water supplies, including programs related to drilling or 
        maintaining wells.''.

SEC. 2604. PILOT PROGRAM FOR WATER SUSTAINABILITY INFRASTRUCTURE 
              DEVELOPMENT AND CAPACITY BUILDING.

    (a) In General.--Section 104D of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
1961, as added by section 2603(a), is amended by adding at the end the 
following new subsection:
    ``(d) Pilot Clean Water Sustainability Infrastructure Development 
Program.--
            ``(1) Authority for pilot program.--In order to study the 
        feasibility and desirability of a program to assist countries 
        that have a high proportion of the population that is 
        susceptible to water-borne illnesses as a result of a lack of 
        basic infrastructure for clean water and sanitation, the 
        President, in close coordination with the Administrator of the 
        United States Agency for International Development and the 
        Director of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, is 
        authorized to establish a 5-year pilot program under which the 
        President may--
                    ``(A) provide for the issuance of investment 
                insurance, investment guarantees, or loan guarantees, 
                provide for direct investment or investment 
                encouragement, or carry out special projects and 
                programs for eligible investors to assist such 
                countries in the development of safe drinking water and 
                sanitation infrastructure programs; and
                    ``(B) provide assistance to support the activities 
                described in subparagraphs (A) through (D) of paragraph 
                (2) for the purposes of--
                            ``(i) carrying out the policy set out in 
                        subsection (b); and
                            ``(ii) maximizing the effectiveness of 
                        assistance provided under subparagraph (A).
            ``(2) Activities supported.--Assistance provided to a 
        country under paragraph (1)(B) shall be used to--
                    ``(A) assess the water development needs of such 
                country;
                    ``(B) design projects to address such water

        provide assistance under the pilot program under paragraph (1) 
        to a country based on consultation with Congress.
            ``(4) Additional criteria.--In making determinations of 
        eligibility under this subsection, the President should give 
        preferential consideration to projects sponsored by or 
        significantly involving United States small businesses or 
        cooperatives.
            ``(5) Implementation.--To the extent provided for in 
        advance in appropriations Acts, the President is authorized to 
        create such legal mechanisms as may be necessary for the 
        implementation of its authorities under this subsection. Such 
        legal mechanisms may be deemed non-Federal borrowers for 
        purposes of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C. 661

SEC. 2703. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The nature of war has changed dramatically in recent 
        decades, putting civilians, especially women and children, at 
        greater risk of death, disease, displacement, and exploitation.
            (2) In the last decade alone, more than 2,000,000 children 
        have been killed during wars, while more than 4,000,000 have 
        survived physical mutilation, and more than 1,000,000 have been 
        orphaned or separated from their families as a result of war.
            (3) The use of rape, particularly against women and girls, 
        is an increasingly common tactic in modern war.
            (4) Civilians, particularly women and children, account for 
        the vast majority of those adversely affected by humanitarian 
        emergencies, including as refugees and internally displaced 
        persons, and increasingly are targeted by combatants and armed 
        elements for murder, abduction, forced military conscription, 
        involuntary servitude, displacement, sexual abuse and slavery, 
        mutilation, and loss of freedom.
            (5) Large-scale natural disasters, such as the tsunami that 
        struck South East Asia, South Asia, and East Africa on December 
        26, 2004, and claimed over 200,000 lives, are particularly 
        threatening to children, who are often orphaned or separated 
        from their families.
            (6) Traditionally, the response to such humanitarian 
        emergencies has focused on providing food, medical care, and 
        shelter needs, and has placed less emphasis on the safety and 
        security of those affected by a humanitarian emergency.
            (7) Refugee women and girls face particular threats because 
        of power inequities, including being forced to exchange sex for 
        food and humanitarian supplies, and being at increased risk of 
        rape and sexual exploitation and abuse due to poor security in 
        refugee camps.
            (8) In some circumstances, humanitarian agencies have 
        failed to make individuals affected by a humanitarian 
        emergency, especially women and children, aware of their rights 
        to protection and assistance, to give them access to effective 
        channels of redress, and to make humanitarian workers aware of 
        their duty to respect these rights and provide adequate 
        assistance.
            (9) Refugee and displaced women face heightened risks of 
        developing complications during pregnancy, suffering a 
        miscarriage, dying, being injured during childbirth, becoming 
        infected with HIV or another sexually transmitted infection, or 
        suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder.
            (10) Despite the heightened risks for women during a 
        humanitarian emergency, women's needs for specialized health 
        services have often been overlooked by donors and relief 
        organizations, which are focused on providing food, water, and 
        shelter.
            (11) There is a substantial need for the protection of 
        civilians, especially women and children, to be given a high 
        priority during all humanitarian emergencies.

              TITLE XXVIII--CONVENTIONAL ARMS DISARMAMENT

SEC. 2801. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Conventional Arms Disarmament Act 
of 2005''.

SEC. 2802. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The global proliferation of man-portable air defense 
        systems (MANPADS), other conventional weapons, and tactical 
        missile systems poses a direct threat to the national security 
        of the United States.
            (2) The use of MANPADS and other conventional weapons by 
        terrorists and insurgent groups continues to hamper United 
        States efforts to achieve peace and security in Iraq and 
        Afghanistan.
            (3) The proliferation of tactical missile systems provides 
        many regimes with a means of income and threatens international 
        peace and security.
            (4) The Government Accountability Office has estimated that 
        there are between 500,000 and 750,000 MANPADS in the world.
            (5) Many countries that possess stocks of MANPADS, other 
        conventional weapons, and tactical missile systems no longer 
        require such weapons for their own security or self defense, 
        but do not possess the means for the elimination or 
        safeguarding of such systems.
            (6) There is currently no single United States program 
        designed to promote efforts in other countries related to 
        conventional arms threat reduction and the elimination of 
        tactical missiles.
            (7) The Department of State has not used the 
        Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund for any activity to 
        eliminate any tactical missile systems since 2002.
            (8) The proliferation of conventional weapons in developing 
        countries that have experienced civil conflict threatens 
        political stability and economic development in those countries 
        and neighboring countries.
            (9) Land mines left over from past conflicts continue to 
        pose a humanitarian threat and a barrier to economic 
        development in many countries around the world.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) where appropriate, the United States Government should 
        provide assistance to countries seeking to secure, remove, or 
        eliminate stocks of MANPADS, other conventional weapons, and 
        tactical missile systems that pose a proliferation threat; and
            (2) given the clear links between global networks of 
        terrorism and networks of the illicit trade in conventional 
        weapons, the United States Government should place consistent, 
        broad, and continued emphasis on combating the proliferation of 
        MANPADS, other conventional weapons, and tactical missile 
        systems within the broader nonproliferation strategy of the 
        United States.

SEC. 2803. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It is the policy of the United States to assist the governments of 
other countries in safeguarding or eliminating stocks of MANPADS, other 
conventional weapons, and tactical missile systems that pose a 
proliferation, local or regional security, or humanitarian threat.

SEC. 2804. GLOBAL PROGRAM FOR THE SAFEGUARDING AND ELIMINATION OF 
              CONVENTIONAL ARMS.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary is authorized to carry out an 
accelerated global program to secure, remove, or eliminate stocks of

        missile systems.
            (3) Programs for the elimination or securing of MANPADS.
            (4) Activities to destroy other conventional weapons.
            (5) Programs to assist countries in the safe handling and 
        proper storage of MANPADS, other conventional weapons, and 
        tactical missile systems.
            (6) Cooperative programs with the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization and other international organizations to assist 
        countries in the safe handling and proper storage or 
        elimination of MANPADS, other conventional weapons, and 
        tactical missile systems.
            (7) The utilization of funds for the elimination or 
        safeguarding of MANPADS, other conventional weapons, and 
        tactical missile systems.
            (8) The management of MANPADS, other conventional weapons, 
        and tactical missile systems at locations where United States 
        funds have been used to provide for the security of such 
        weapons.
            (9) Actions to ensure that equipment and funds, including 
        security upgrades at locations for the storage or disposition 
        of MANPADS, other conventional weapons, tactical missile 
        systems, and related equipment that are determined by the 
        Secretary of State to pose a proliferation threat, continue to 
        be used for authorized purposes.
