                              Clerk's Note

    By direction of the Chairman, this official justification 
of Fiscal Year 2001 budget estimates of the Agency for 
International Development incorporates supplemental tabular and 
narrative details required by the Committee in addition to 
those provided in the printed version originally submitted by 
the Agency. This Committee document is the basis for 
reprogramming notifications submitted under section 515 of the 
Fiscal Year 2001 Foreign Assistance, Export Financing, and 
Related Programs Appropriations Act by or on behalf of the 
Agency for International Development.
    Under the long-standing notification requirements of 
section 515, the Agency is required to notify the 
Appropriations Committees 15 days in advance of obligation of 
funds from sundry accounts ``for activities, programs, 
projects, type of material assistance, countries, or other 
operations not justified or in excess of the amount justified 
to the Appropriations Committees. Section 515 does not apply to 
certain reprogramming for an activity, program, or project 
under chapter 1 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 
of less than 10 percent of the amount previously justified. 
Section 520 and several other provisions of the Act require 
separate notification for all projects and activities in 
certain countries, and specified activities elsewhere.
    The Committee expects and requires the Agency to implement 
the notification provisions of the Act without regard to its 
internal aggregation of programs, projects, activities, and 
countries within ``strategic objectives''. The Agency is 
directed to consult with the Committee in instances where it is 
uncertain of the application of appropriations law. 
Notification of reprogramming of funds from the ``Assistance 
for Eastern Europe and the Baltic States'' account shall 
continue to be notified on the same basis and understanding as 
in prior years.
