    Sec. 7035. It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the Arab League boycott of Israel, and the 
        secondary boycott of American firms that have 
        commercial ties with Israel, is an impediment to peace 
        in the region and to United States investment and trade 
        in the Middle East and North Africa;
            (2) the Arab League boycott, which was regrettably

        of Israel and find concrete steps to demonstrate that

        States to encourage Arab League states to normalize 
        their relations with Israel to bring about the 
        termination of the Arab League boycott of Israel, 
        including those to encourage allies and trading

                the West Bank and Gaza, including the 
                dismantling of terrorist infrastructures, and 
                is cooperating with appropriate Israeli and 
                other appropriate security organizations; and

        entity of a new Palestinian state) is working with 
        other countries in the region to vigorously pursue 
        efforts to establish a just, lasting, and comprehensive 
        peace in the Middle East that will enable Israel and an 
        independent Palestinian state to exist within the 
        context of full and normal relationships, which should

                    (A) termination of all claims or states of

determines that it is important to the national security 
interests of the United States to do so.
    (d) Exemption.--The restriction in subsection (a) shall not

    (b) World Bank.--Section 668(c)(1) of the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2008 (Public Law 110-161) is amended by 
striking ``that'' and inserting ``on the extent to which''.
    (c) National Budget Transparency.--

        include income and expenditures.
            (2) The Secretary of State may waive the 
        requirements of paragraph (1) on a country-by-country 
        basis if the Secretary reports to the Committees on 
        Appropriations that to do so is important to the 
        national interest of the United States.

                          DISABILITY PROGRAMS

    Sec. 7089. (a) Of the funds appropriated by this Act under 
the heading ``Economic Support Fund'', not less than $4,000,000

        based on informed consent which has not been induced by 
        payment or compensation;
            (3) the view that long-term foster care or 
        institutionalization are not permanent options and

        are available; and
            (4) the recognition that programs that protect and 
        support families can reduce the abandonment and 
        exploitation of children.

                               SRI LANKA

    Sec. 7091. (a) None of the funds appropriated by this Act

            (1) the Sri Lankan military is suspending and the 
        Government of Sri Lanka is bringing to justice members

                               DIVISION H

     DEPARTMENT OF STATE, FOREIGN OPERATIONS, AND RELATED PROGRAMS 
                        APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2009

                                TITLE I

                 DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND RELATED AGENCY

                          DEPARTMENT OF STATE

                   Administration of Foreign Affairs

                    DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PROGRAMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $5,360,318,000 for Diplomatic and 
Consular Programs, which is $819,231,000 above the fiscal year 
2008 level, excluding emergency appropriations, and $3,951,000 
below the request. Of these funds, $4,243,318,000 is for 
ongoing operations, including public diplomacy activities, and 
$1,117,000,000 is for Worldwide Security Protection. The bill 
separates the functions funded under this heading to provide 
more transparency. The Department of State may reprogram funds 
as required, subject to consultation with, and notification of, 
the Committees on Appropriations. The functions are allocated 
as follows:
    Human resources.--$2,118,598,000 for all American salaries 
at overseas and domestic United States diplomatic missions.
    Overseas programs.--$1,548,617,000 for the operational 
programs of regional bureaus of the Department of State, which 
are responsible for managing United States foreign policy 
through bilateral and multilateral relationships. Funds made 
available for fiscal year 2009 will support 267 United States 
embassies, consulates, and other diplomatic posts worldwide.
    Diplomatic policy and support.--$585,078,000 for the 
operational programs of the functional bureaus of the 
Department of State to provide overall policy direction, 
coordination and program management among United States 
missions abroad.
    Security programs.--$1,108,025,000 for the operation of 
security programs, including for Worldwide Security Protection 
(WSP) and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, to protect 
diplomatic personnel, overseas diplomatic missions, residences, 
domestic facilities and information. In addition to WSP 
programs, $134,927,000 is included within the Human Resources 
function, equal to the request, for salaries to make up the 
total amount in the bill for security protection worldwide.
    In addition, the bill includes authority to collect 
$8,110,150 from certain authorized fees and payments. The 
Department of State also projects that $2,124,458,000 will 
become available in fiscal year 2009 from authorized fee 
revenues for the Border Security Program of the Department of 
State, including an increase of $64,396,000 to continue to 
improve passport processing operations.
    The bill includes authority for the Secretary of State to 
transfer up to $10,000,000 of the funds available under this 
heading to funds available under the ``Emergencies in the 
Diplomatic and Consular Service'' heading for emergency 
evacuations and rewards payments, as authorized.
Enhancing Diplomatic Staffing and Readiness
    Increasing the Department of State personnel capacity and 
capabilities is a priority in this bill. Diplomatic staffing 
increases resulting from the Diplomatic Readiness Initiative 
undertaken by the Department of State and the Committees on 
Appropriations between fiscal years 2002 through 2004 were 
depleted due to the Department's decision to move more 
positions to Iraq and Afghanistan. This has led to vacancies at 
many posts overseas and has inhibited necessary training of 
diplomatic personnel in critical languages. The bill provides 
funding to fill vacant positions, expand critical language 
training and place more diplomats in countries where there is a 
growing United States strategic interest. Within the funds made 
available in this Act, and in Public Law 110-252, the Secretary 
of State should have sufficient resources to hire the 500 
positions proposed in the fiscal year 2009 request. In this 
process, the Secretary is urged to further reduce domestic 
positions to bolster areas critical to United States interests 
around the world, such as public diplomacy and consular 
services.
    There has been a longstanding concern with the disparity in 
pay between rank and file Foreign Service Officers (FSOs) and 
senior FSOs, whose pay is tied to the locality paid in the 
District of Columbia. This disparity has damaged morale, caused 
attrition in the Foreign Service and made it difficult to 
attract new hires. The bill provides $41,000,000, as requested, 
to eliminate this disparity by paying eligible members of the 
Foreign Service up to the amount of the locality-based 
comparability payment that would be payable as if their 
official duty station were in the District of Columbia. The 
relevant authorizing committees are urged to pass legislation 
expeditiously authorizing the use of these funds.
Worldwide Security Protection
    The bill provides $1,117,000,000 for Worldwide Security 
Protection.
    Security training.--The fiscal year 2009 budget request 
included $17,551,000 to develop a consolidated training center 
for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security to provide expanded hard 
and soft skills security training to foreign affairs community 
members serving in increasingly dangerous environments 
overseas. The Secretary of State shall consult with the 
Committees on Appropriations in advance of funds being made 
available for this purpose and shall provide the Committees 
with regular updates on the status of the project.
    Visa and passport security plan.--The Department of State's 
ongoing work to both detect and disrupt terrorist travel 
continues to be supported in this bill and funds are included 
to support additional investigative agents and support staff 
personnel to enhance visa and passport security.
Funding Directives
    Cultural heritage.--The Department of State is directed to 
provide $6,500,000 to preserve cultural heritage through 
Department of State programs and activities, of which 
$5,500,000 shall be for the Ambassador's Fund for Cultural 
Preservation including for at least two large projects of 
approximately $500,000 each, and $1,000,000 shall be for the 
Cultural Antiquities Task Force. The Department of State should 
consult with the Committees on Appropriations prior to the 
obligation of funds.
    Human rights monitoring.--The Secretary of State is 
directed to increase the number of human rights officers 
assigned to Beijing, People's Republic of China, and submit a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations not later than 90 
days after enactment of this Act on these efforts.
    Intelligence and research.--The bill includes sufficient 
funding to support the fiscal year 2009 request for the Bureau 
of Intelligence and Research. In addition, section 7034(l) 
makes available $5,000,000, from funds appropriated under the 
``Economic Support Fund'' heading to continue the Program for 
Research and Training on Eastern Europe and the Independent 
States of the Former Soviet Union (title VIII).
    Iraq diplomatic operations.--The Department of State is 
strongly urged to regularize the planning and budgeting for 
diplomatic operations in Iraq, to include rightsizing of 
personnel, and the fiscal year 2010 budget request should 
include funding for ongoing functions.
    IT security and coordination.--The Department of State is 
directed to provide sufficient funds for IT security programs, 
and, through a consultative process, to improve coordination of 
IT and cybersecurity programs with other United States 
Government agencies, particularly the United States Agency for 
International Development (USAID) and the Department of 
Defense.
    Monitoring of military training and equipment.--While 
considerable effort is made by the Department of State to vet 
candidates for United States military training, effectiveness 
varies significantly among embassies and there have been gaps 
and weaknesses. In addition, little is done to track the uses 
of equipment, including weapons and ammunition, which is 
provided to foreign forces. The bill provides $2,000,000 above 
the request to the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor 
for these purposes, which continues an initiative begun in 
fiscal year 2008. These funds are subject to prior consultation 
with the Committees on Appropriations.
    Public diplomacy.--The bill includes a total of 
$394,806,000 for public diplomacy, including $264,169,000 for 
programs and $130,637,000 for salaries under this heading, and 
an additional $11,000,000 is available in fee revenue generated 
by the Border Security Program, equal to the request.
    Soft targets.--The Department of State shall provide 
$25,500,000 for security enhancements to soft targets such as 
overseas schools and residential compounds. Additional funds 
should be used in countries and regions impacted by political 
instability.
    Special representative and policy coordinator for Burma.--
The Department of State shall provide necessary administrative 
expenses, including salary and travel, for the Policy 
Coordinator for Burma, as authorized by section 7 of the Tom 
Lantos Block Burmese JADE (Junta's Anti-Democratic Efforts) Act 
of 2008 (Public Law 110-286).
    Tibet.--The Secretary of State should ensure that the 
Department of State, the USAID, and the Broadcasting Board of 
Governors (BBG) allocate funds provided in this bill for 
Tibetan programs in a manner that reflects the commitment of 
the United States Government to the Tibetan people in the areas 
of democracy promotion, refugee assistance, scholarships, 
exchange programs, and radio broadcasts in Tibet.
    The Department of State shall provide up to $1,000,000 to 
establish a Tibet Section within the United States Embassy in 
Beijing, People's Republic of China for the purposes of 
following political, economic, and social developments inside 
Tibet, including Tibetan areas of Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, and 
Yunnan provinces, until such time as a United States Consulate 
in Tibet is established. This section shall have the primary 
responsibility for reporting on human rights issues in Tibet, 
shall work in close cooperation with the Office of the Special 
Coordinator for Tibetan Issues, and the Tibet Section Chief 
should be of senior rank. In addition, $1,000,000 is 
recommended to support the Special Coordinator for Tibetan 
Issues.
    Trafficking in persons.--Sufficient funding is provided to 
increase the number of personnel in the Office to Monitor and 
Combat Trafficking in Persons to respond to the growing 
worldwide problem of human trafficking.
Other Issues and Directives
    Adoption task force.--The Governments of Vietnam and 
Guatemala have recently restricted adoptions of orphans by 
families in the United States until new regulations can be 
developed, and thousands of adoptions already in process are 
being required to undergo further investigation or have been 
halted altogether. The Department of State and the Department 
of Homeland Security are directed to establish a temporary task 
force similar to the one employed in Cambodia in 2001 to 
accommodate the increased workload and assist in the resolution 
of outstanding issues. The Secretary of State shall report to 
the Committees on Appropriations not later than June 1, 2009, 
on actions taken and overall progress in negotiating new 
bilateral agreements.
    Consular affairs reform.--The bill includes a provision, 
section 7006, requiring that all Inspector General 
recommendations regarding the Department of State's Passport 
Information Electronic Records System are implemented. In 
addition, the Department of State should examine best practices 
to maintain a high standard of personal privacy for all 
information shared with other agencies.
    Consular services demonstration.--The Department of State 
should report on the implementation of a demonstration program 
to expand access to consular services through the use of 
alternative interview techniques such as videoconferencing or 
mobile consular units as authorized by section 565 of Public 
Law 110-161.
    Disability coordinator.--In order to ensure the integration 
of people with disabilities in policies, programs, activities, 
outreach and staff opportunities, the Department of State 
should establish a dedicated, full-time Disability Coordinator 
and consult with the Committees on Appropriations not later 
than 90 days after enactment of this Act on efforts to address 
this issue.
    Foreign Service Institute.--The Director of the Foreign 
Service Institute is urged to develop a program that educates 
United States diplomats and foreign service officers on the 
major world religions and provides training in techniques of 
interfaith dialogue and conflict resolution.
    Interagency task force.--The bill includes funds to 
continue the operation of a United States Government 
Interagency task force to continue the monitoring of the United 
Nations headquarters renovation project.
    Management.--With the consolidation of oversight for 
Department of State operations and foreign assistance programs 
under the jurisdiction of one appropriations subcommittee, the 
lack of coordination within the Department between budget, 
policy and planning related to assistance programs and 
operations has come into focus. As additional resources are 
requested to expand diplomatic staff and training, the 
Department of State should seek to more effectively synchronize 
operational and foreign assistance funding and programs.
    The Department of State's top priority must be to meet the 
personnel requirements of its traditional diplomacy functions. 
The Administration is encouraged to improve existing 
frameworks, procedures and regulations, including those at the 
National Security Council, which will bolster the Department of 
State and USAID's responsibility and oversight of United States 
diplomacy and foreign assistance.
    Minority recruitment.--The bill includes funds requested to 
continue the educational partnerships focused on recruiting and 
preparing students from various institutions with large 
minority populations for positions in the Foreign Service. 
These programs assist the ongoing efforts to increase minority 
hiring and diversity by facilitating the preparation of non-
traditional and minority students for careers in the Foreign 
Service and the Department of State.
    Office of Defense Trade Controls Licensing.--The Secretary 
of State should ensure that the Office of Defense Trade 
Controls Licensing has the necessary budgetary resources and 
staff to fulfill its responsibilities in a timely and effective 
manner.
    Saudi Arabia.--The Secretary of State is directed to 
monitor the implementation of the Government of Saudi Arabia's 
policies relating to religious practice and tolerance, 
announced in July 2006, and make these issues a regular part of 
the United States-Saudi Arabia Strategic Dialogue. The 
Secretary of State is further directed to provide a report to 
the Committees on Appropriations not later than 120 days after 
enactment of this Act on the progress and issues raised through 
this dialogue.
    Science programs.--The Department of State is encouraged to 
sustain support for the variety of science fellowship programs 
and to increase the science and technology capacity within the 
Department of State.
    Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI).--The Secretary 
of State is directed to continue to monitor implementation of 
the WHTI according to the statutory deadline of no earlier than 
June 1, 2009, and, as needed, to increase temporary staffing to 
quickly respond to increases in demand for passports or 
passport cards. The Department of Homeland Security and the 
Department of State are directed to provide quarterly briefings 
to the Committees on Appropriations on progress being made in 
meeting these requirements.

                   CIVILIAN STABILIZATION INITIATIVE

    The bill provides $45,000,000 under this heading for the 
Civilian Stabilization Initiative (CSI). In addition, 
$30,000,000 is provided under title II, for a total of 
$75,000,000 in this bill to stand-up, equip and deploy a 
coordinated civilian response capacity at the Department of 
State and USAID. These funds are in addition to $65,000,000 
provided in Public Law 110-252.
    Funds made available for CSI in fiscal year 2009 are to be 
allocated only for the active and standby response corps and to 
support the operations of the Office of the Coordinator for 
Reconstruction and Stabilization. In total, $140,000,000 is 
available for this initiative in fiscal year 2009, which is 
$108,631,000 below the request.
    Within the funds made available for CSI in fiscal year 
2009, including supplemental funds, up to $23,014,000 may 
support the administrative expenses for the Office of the 
Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization.
    The bill includes a proviso requiring the Secretary of 
State and the USAID Administrator to submit a coordinated joint 
spending plan and integrated implementation strategy for funds 
made available in fiscal years 2008 and 2009 for the CSI not 
later than 60 days after enactment of this Act.
    The President may exercise existing transfer authority 
provided in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and this Act 
only to support an actively deployed civilian response corps 
and not for the regular operations of this initiative, after 
consulting with and notifying the Committees on Appropriations. 
The President should be judicious in the use of this authority.
    The Department of State, in consultation with USAID, is 
directed to submit in writing to the Committees on 
Appropriations not later than 180 days after enactment of this 
Act, a clarification of the relationship between the CSI and: 
(1) existing international disaster response capabilities of 
the United States Government and funding sources (including 
under the ``International Disaster Assistance'' and 
``Transition Initiatives'' headings), and (2) the Department of 
Defense disaster response capabilities, assets and authorities.

                        CAPITAL INVESTMENT FUND

    The bill provides $71,000,000 for the Capital Investment 
Fund, which is $11,425,000 above the fiscal year 2008 level and 
the same as the request.

                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

    The bill provides $37,000,000 for the Office of Inspector 
General, which is $3,267,000 above the fiscal year 2008 level, 
excluding emergency appropriations, and $1,492,000 above the 
request. The bill includes a proviso, carried in prior years, 
that waives the statutory requirement that every post be 
inspected every five years, in order to provide flexibility to 
the Inspector General to direct the funds provided to the areas 
of highest need.

               EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS

    The bill provides $538,000,000 for Educational and Cultural 
Exchange Programs, which is $36,653,000 above the fiscal year 
2008 level, excluding emergency appropriations, and $15,556,000 
above the request. Funds are allocated in the following table, 
subject to the requirements of section 7019 of this Act:

    Every program for which funding is enumerated in the 
previous table is established pursuant to an act of Congress; 
is a program for which funding is authorized by an act of 
Congress; or is included in the budget request for fiscal year 
2009.
    Funding is included above the prior year level in the 
Fulbright Program, Gilman International Scholarship Program, 
English Language Programs, and Educational Advising and Student 
Services to expand opportunities for United States students to 
study abroad. Additional resources should be used to increase 
direct grants to students, replicate existing capacity in 
targeted regions at quality overseas educational institutions, 
especially in developing countries, and engage United States 
educational institutions to reduce barriers to study abroad.
    Taking into account current programs that support these 
goals and proposed legislation, the Department of State should 
develop a coordinated strategy to expand exchange programs to 
reach a greater number of Americans and foreigners from non-
traditional backgrounds, particularly low income and minority 
populations. This strategy should inform the Administration's 
planning and budgeting in the near and long-term to expand 
exchanges and to better focus on interrelated advantages of 
existing programs which will ultimately benefit United States 
public diplomacy goals.
    The Department of State should continue support for several 
ongoing international exchange programs with Eurasia and 
Eastern Europe, and the Muskie Graduate Fellowship program. In 
addition, the Department of State is expected to continue 
funding for the Future Leaders Exchange programs; the American-
Serbia and Montenegro Youth Leadership Exchange; the Junior 
Faculty Development Program; the Language, Technology, Math and 
Science Exchange; citizen exchange activities of Sister Cities 
International; cultural exchange programs in music and the 
arts; and increased exchanges with Africa and countries with 
significant Muslim populations.
    Latin America, Central America, and the Caribbean.--
Expanded exchange programs in the Western Hemisphere are 
supported, with an emphasis on indigenous and other minority 
populations, including an additional $3,000,000 to continue 
exchange programs in Central America, to be allocated as 
follows: $1,250,000 for English Access Microscholarships, 
$1,250,000 to continue the Community College Program, $250,000 
for undergraduate Opportunity Grants, and $250,000 for summer 
institutes at United States universities.
    The Department of State is directed to continue the 
development of expanded cultural, educational, and professional 
exchanges with the Caribbean.
    Women and exchanges.--The Department of State is urged to 
fund professional exchanges for women in areas relating to 
business development, trade, leadership, and private and public 
sector management to enhance the economic development of 
participants and their countries.
    Youth Exchange and Study Program.--The bill provides 
$23,000,000 to support the goals of this program and encourages 
its growth in countries with significant Muslim populations, 
where the perception of the United States faces the greatest 
challenges. In commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the 
program and in recognition of the impact of the program in 
promoting dialogue, increasing understanding and enhancing 
cultural diplomacy between the United States and foreign 
countries, it is recommended that the program be named in honor 
of its originators, subject to prior consultation with the 
Committees on Appropriations.
    One-time International Exchange Grant Program.--The bill 
provides $6,000,000 for one-time competitive grants for 
international exchanges. Grants shall address issues of mutual 
interest to the United States and other countries, consistent 
with the program criteria established in Public Law 110-161. 
Programs shall support the actual exchange of people and should 
benefit a population that is not being addressed through 
existing authorized exchanges. The Department of State shall 
submit a report of those organizations that are eligible for a 
grant and, not later than September 1, 2009, submit a report to 
the Committees on Appropriations describing the grant 
recipients and intended use of funds.
    Programs which received funding under this one-time grant 
program in fiscal year 2008, or which were listed in the 
explanatory statement but did not apply, are not listed for 
consideration in fiscal year 2009. Programs listed in the 
fiscal year 2008 explanatory statement that applied, but did 
not receive funding, also are not listed but should be 
considered eligible for the fiscal year 2009 program. The 
Department of State is encouraged to consider new proposals for 
one-time funding from previously funded grantees within 
discretionary funding if they meet appropriate guidelines. 
Exchange programs eligible for consideration for this 
competitive program shall include:
    Concordia College, for intensive critical language and 
cultural immersion exchange programs.
    Castleton State College, for international service-learning 
exchange programs.
    KIDmocracy, for student exchange with Egypt on democracy 
and governance.
    Hofstra University, for critical language exchange 
programs.
    Korean American Empowerment Council, for exchanges with the 
Republic of Korea.
    Marquette University, for exchanges between United States 
and Liberian officials.
    New Mexico State University/Youth Works International, for 
bringing young leaders from developing countries to the Gila 
Wilderness for land management training.
    Pasadena Sister Cities Committee, for student exchanges 
with China.
    The American Foundation for Tibetan Cultural Preservation, 
for cultural exchanges.
    Vermont Law School, for an exchange program with China to 
address environment, energy, and related governance issues.

                       REPRESENTATION ALLOWANCES

    The bill provides $8,175,000 for Representation Allowances, 
which is $66,000 above the fiscal year 2008 level and the same 
as the request.

              PROTECTION OF FOREIGN MISSIONS AND OFFICIALS

    The bill provides $22,814,000 for Protection of Foreign 
Missions and Officials, the same as the fiscal year 2008 level 
and $4,814,000 above the request. The bill includes sufficient 
funds above the request to begin to reimburse eligible costs of 
providing security protection of diplomatic delegations to the 
United Nations and other international organizations that were 
incurred in prior years, and up to $2,400,000 is available to 
reimburse certifiable costs incurred by municipalities hosting 
extraordinary events.
    The Department of State is directed to prepare and submit a 
report not later than 60 days after enactment of this Act and 
every six months thereafter on the amount of claims for 
extraordinary protective services that have been submitted by 
eligible jurisdictions and certified as meeting the program 
requirements and the amount of unobligated funds available to 
pay such claims.

            EMBASSY SECURITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE

    The bill provides $1,706,569,000 for Embassy Security, 
Construction, and Maintenance, which is $205,994,000 above the 
comparable level for fiscal year 2008, excluding emergency 
appropriations, and $218,390,000 below the comparable request. 
Of the amount provided, $801,344,000 is for operations, 
maintenance and construction, $770,000,000 is for priority 
worldwide security upgrades, acquisition, and construction, and 
$135,225,000 is for the overseas facilities construction 
program of USAID. The comparable level for fiscal year 2008 
includes $75,000,000 appropriated under the ``Capital 
Investment Fund of the United States Agency for International 
Development'' heading.
    The bill provides funding for USAID's overseas facility 
construction program under this heading, rather than under 
USAID's ``Capital Investment Fund'' heading, as requested and 
as provided in fiscal year 2009. The Department of State and 
USAID are directed to work in concert to manage overseas 
facilities to more effectively and efficiently meet United 
States foreign affairs objectives. Coordination should include 
worldwide facilities assessments, planning, requests for 
funding, and implementation of facilities construction and 
maintenance activities.
    The Secretary of State is directed to submit an annual plan 
on the joint requirements of the Department of State and USAID, 
including planned facilities upgrades and new construction for 
each fiscal year. The Secretary of State also is directed to 
report to the Committees on Appropriations, not later than 90 
days after enactment of this Act, on a plan to address 
maintenance costs.
    The Under Secretary for Management shall consult with the 
Committees on Appropriations on a regular and ongoing basis on 
the design of any proposed self-financed New Embassy Compound.
    Section 7034(i) provides that $2,000,000 from funds 
available under this heading shall be for the Capital Security 
Cost-Sharing contribution of the Library of Congress. The 
Government Accountability Office (GAO) is requested to examine 
the utility of overseas facilities for the Library of Congress 
and report to the Committees on Appropriations not later than 
August 1, 2009, including recommendations on the space needed 
and what efficiencies can be made while maintaining the 
Library's resource acquisition mission.

           EMERGENCIES IN THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $9,000,000 for Emergencies in the 
Diplomatic and Consular Service, which is $73,000 above the 
fiscal year 2008 level and $10,000,000 below the request.
    The bill provides the funds under the heading for emergency 
evacuations and for authorized rewards payments.

                    BUYING POWER MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT

    The bill provides $5,000,000 for the Buying Power 
Maintenance Account to manage exchange rate losses in the cost 
of Department of State operations overseas. The amount provided 
is $5,000,000 above both the fiscal year 2008 level, excluding 
supplemental appropriations, and the request. The Secretary of 
State is urged to include a request for funding in this account 
in future budget requests.

                   REPATRIATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $1,353,000 for the Repatriation Loans 
Program Account, which is $78,000 above the fiscal year 2008 
level and the same as the request. Of this amount, $678,000 is 
for the Direct Loans Subsidy and $675,000 is for administrative 
expenses.
    The bill includes language allowing funds under the heading 
for administrative expenses to be transferred to, and merged 
with, ``Diplomatic and Consular Programs''.

              PAYMENT TO THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE IN TAIWAN

    The bill provides $16,840,000 for Payment to the American 
Institute in Taiwan, which is $621,000 above the fiscal year 
2008 level and the same as the request.

     PAYMENT TO THE FOREIGN SERVICE RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY FUND

    The bill provides $157,100,000 for Payment to the Foreign 
Service Retirement and Disability Fund, which is $1,800,000 
below the fiscal year 2008 level and the same as the comparable 
request.

                      International Organizations

              CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

    The bill provides $1,529,400,000 for Contributions to 
International Organizations, which is $185,971,000 above the 
fiscal year 2008 level and the same as the request. This is in 
addition to $75,000,000 provided in Public Law 110-252.
    The Office of Management and Budget is directed to request 
sufficient funds to pay annual assessed dues and any 
accumulated arrears to international organizations, and the 
Department of State is encouraged to evaluate the benefit of 
United States membership on an annual basis.
    The decision to incorporate the United Nations (UN) 
Procurement Task Force (PTF) into the Office of Internal 
Oversight Services (OIOS) must not result in a diminished 
commitment by the UN to continue effective fraud and corruption 
investigations. Over the past three years, the PTF has been 
effective by identifying more than 20 significant fraud and 
corruption schemes in cases with an aggregate contract value in 
excess of $630,000,000. The results of the PTF (and the Oil for 
Food investigations and prosecutions) underscore the need for 
the UN to be vigilant in protecting the integrity of donor 
funds. Eighty-five percent of UN procurement supports 
peacekeeping operations, and according to GAO, peacekeeping 
field procurement has not been effectively reformed and remains 
a high-risk area for fraud and abuse.
    The UN should affirm its commitment to a strong oversight 
body, which is independent and resistant to retaliation by UN 
employees and their respective governments. The Department of 
State is directed to make procurement reform a top priority at 
the UN and to ensure that sufficient resources are made 
available for vigorous procurement oversight and investigation 
capabilities.
    The Department of State is directed to report to the 
Committees on Appropriations not later than 120 days after 
enactment of this Act on the voting practices of UN member 
states for the current and past three years on matters 
regarding Iran, Israel, Sudan, and Zimbabwe, as well as on the 
reform efforts of the UN.

        CONTRIBUTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES

    The bill provides $1,517,000,000 for Contributions for 
International Peacekeeping Activities, which is $294,483,000 
above the fiscal year 2008 level, excluding emergency 
appropriations, and $20,000,000 above the request. This amount 
is in addition to $150,500,000 provided in Public Law 110-252. 
The bill includes language (section 7051), as requested by the 
President, to adjust the authorized level of United States 
assessments for peacekeeping activities for calendar year 2009 
and prior years from 25 percent to 27.1 percent, consistent 
with the level set in fiscal year 2008 (Public Law 110-161).
    The Department of State is directed to provide full funding 
for the United States assessed contribution to the UN/African 
Union Hybrid operation in Darfur (UNAMID). The Department shall 
work with members of the Security Council and countries 
contributing troops, police, personnel, and equipment to 
UNAMID, in addition to interested non-governmental 
organizations, to ensure full and swift deployment. The 
Department of State should also ensure that UNAMID personnel 
receive training on prevention of, and response to, violence 
against women.
    The Department of State is directed to support oversight of 
peacekeeping missions by the UN's OIOS to identify waste, fraud 
and abuse, including sexual abuse within every UN peacekeeping 
mission, and submit to the Committees on Appropriations a 
performance report on the progress of these efforts.

                       International Commissions

    The bill provides funding to fully meet United States 
treaty obligations to international commissions in fiscal year 
2009 and recognizes that funds are requested under the 
Department of State as a result of international treaties. 
However, the Secretary of State is encouraged to examine 
efficiencies in operations and equipment that could be achieved 
with other United States Government agencies.

 INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND WATER COMMISSION, UNITED STATES AND MEXICO

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill includes $32,256,000 for the Salaries and Expenses 
account of the Commission, which is $2,072,000 above the fiscal 
year 2008 level and the same as the request.

                              CONSTRUCTION

    The bill includes $43,250,000 for construction, which is 
$44,459,000 below the fiscal year 2008 level and $1,000,000 
below the request. Funds made available under this heading 
shall be allocated in the following manner:

and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009. Sufficient funds are 
provided to complete upgrades to the International Wastewater 
Treatment Plant to treat secondary wastewater from the Tijuana 
River.

    The bill provides $11,649,000 for American Sections,

     Appropriation in Bill........................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Budget requested funding as a separate account.

    The bill includes sufficient funding, including funds 
provided in Public Law 110-252, and funds provided in Public 
Law 110-329, in fiscal year 2009 to maintain broadcasting in 
languages services at the fiscal year 2008 program levels which 
the BBG proposed to reduce or eliminate in the fiscal year 2009 
request. It is recognized that international broadcasting 
conditions and costs are variable and that estimates for 
maintaining language services may escalate over the course of a 
fiscal year due to exchange rate losses or other circumstances. 
The BBG is directed to notify the Committees on Appropriations 
of any such modifications to language service levels 
recommended in the table above for fiscal year 2009.
    Sufficient funds are available in fiscal year 2009 to 
continue VOA and RFA Tibetan broadcasts at the fiscal year 2008 
surge levels. Section 7071(c)(3) of the bill directs not less 
than $8,000,000 for broadcasting into North Korea through RFA 
Korea Service and VOA Korea Service.
    The BBG is encouraged to continue its ongoing efforts to 
improve audience reach by utilizing the most effective means of 
transmission. However, going silent in many critical languages 
and regions is not supported. In addition, there is concern 
with the dismantling of shortwave capacity. The BBG should re-
examine the capabilities of shortwave radio and continue to 
deploy it where it is determined to be most effective, 
particularly to countries where there is limited or no access 
to independent media.
    The BBG is encouraged to explore the potential of digital 
shortwave technology as a means of delivering high-quality 
transmissions at low cost to millions of listeners. The BBG 
also is encouraged to consider whether existing English 
language broadcast programming can be used by VOA, if 
authorized standards are met.
    The bill includes a provision, section 7041, intended to 
strengthen transparency, integrity and accountability 
concerning the content of broadcasts to the Middle East. 
Programs supported under this heading are intended to reach 
countries where fair and unbiased local media is limited and 
therefore broadcasting a variety of views is required. The BBG 
should continue to pursue free and fair broadcasting, and in 
particular provide many points of view to maintain balanced 
reporting. The Board is directed, in conjunction with the MBN, 
VOA, and RFE/RL, to make public English transcripts on a case 
by case basis if requested by the Committees on Appropriations. 
Sufficient funds are included to continue the transparency 
directives begun in fiscal year 2008 regarding Alhurra.

                   BROADCASTING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

    The bill provides $11,296,000 for Broadcasting Capital

which is $1,658,000 above the fiscal year 2008 level and

Endowment for Democracy (NED), of which $100,000,000 is to be

core institutes. The amount provided is $15,000,000 above the 
comparable fiscal year 2008 level and $35,000,000 above the 
request. The additional $15,000,000 in the bill is provided for 
a small grants program, democracy promotion, human rights and 
rule of law activities including in China, Burma, Cuba, Russia, 
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran, as 
well as for the Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program, the 
Center for International Media Assistance and the World 
Movement for Democracy. Further, $250,000 is provided for human 
rights and democracy programs relating to Tibet.
    The President of the NED is required to submit a report to 
the Committees on Appropriations not later than 45 days after 
enactment of this Act on the proposed uses of these funds on a 
regional and country basis. The report should include a 
description of programmatic goals for each region and country, 
and how the planned use of funds will meet such goals.
    This grant to the Department of State is a pass-through 
directly to NED. Thus, funds under this heading shall not be 
subject to prior approval by the Department of State or USAID 
or administrative or management surcharges, and minimal 
expenses, if any, should be charged to general Department of 
State operating expenses. Further, the NED should not be 
precluded from competitively bidding on democracy, human 
rights, and rule of law grant solicitations.

the West Bank and Gaza not later than 180 days after enactment

 Agriculture
    USAID should support a multi-faceted program strategy that 
provides immediate relief to vulnerable populations and 
increases access to food in the short-term as well as 
developing strategies and programs that support long-term, 
sustainable agricultural practices in food insecure countries 
to reduce the dependence on food aid, particularly in Africa 
and Asia. USAID should prioritize the development of programs 
for small-holder farmers, cooperatives, and vulnerable 
populations, including female-headed households, as well as the 
expansion of agriculture extension, training, research, and 
education to prepare farmers and communities to adapt to global 
climate change. USAID is encouraged to coordinate efforts to 
increase food security and agricultural production around the 
world with international efforts, including those of the World 
Bank and UN agencies. USAID is directed, in consultation with 
the Committees on Appropriations, to develop a plan for 
increasing the number of agriculture specialists in the field 
commensurate with the need. The bill provides $75,000,000 for 
global food security, including local purchase, in addition to

clients. Of the total, 50 percent of funds should be for grants 
to private networks, practitioner institutions, and 
nongovernmental organizations, and USAID's Office of 
Microenterprise should provide grants through a central funding 
mechanism for contracts, cooperative agreements and grants in 
order to ensure that programs in the field are based on best

regulate intellectual property as a means for social and 
economic development.
Education
    Basic education.--The bill provides a total of 
$700,000,000, of which $400,000,000 is provided under this 
heading for basic education. Education should be a key

graduate education, which should be focused on countries 
emerging from conflict that have an urgent need for 
professionals skilled in public administration, education, 
agriculture, engineering, public health and other fields 
necessary for recovery and development. In addition, USAID 
should prioritize higher education in countries that have 
already made significant strides in providing quality basic and 
secondary education to their populations.
    USAID should consider the work of the Asian University for 
Women, the Center for Educational Excellence, the Center of 
Entrepreneurship, the Center for Strategic Learning at Hofstra 
University, and Spelman College.

carbon accounting. Given the growing demand for energy in 
developing countries and concern with climate change, USAID is 
strongly encouraged to strengthen the capacity of its staff 
with expertise in these issues.
    Biodiversity.--Funding for biodiversity should prioritize 
programs that protect tropical forests and the habitat of 
endangered species, as well as wetlands and marine ecosystems. 
The bill provides $25,000,000 for these activities in the 
Amazon Basin, of which $15,000,000 is for USAID's Initiative 
for Conservation in the Andean Amazon and $10,000,000 is for 
such activities in the Brazilian Amazon. In addition, 
$17,500,000 is provided for the Congo Basin Forest Partnership,

prevalence of child marriage when developing country operating 
plans and should increase programmatic focus on this issue.
    Democracy.--USAID's work in the area of democracy and 
governance is important and funding for these programs should 
increase in fiscal year 2009. Democracy programs should be 
balanced between states in conflict and those working to 
consolidate and continue their democratic transition. USAID 
should consider the work of the University of Kentucky School 
of Law.

populations and the shortage of safe water is a cause of 
disease and conflict, funding should be used to provide safe 
water and sanitation in high priority countries that are 
selected based on the criteria in Public Law 109-121. 
Increasing access to safe drinking water should continue to be 
the highest priority in the programming of these funds. Of this

of victims of torture. Programs funded with these funds should 
be consistent with the goals of Public Law 106-87, the Torture 
Victims Relief Reauthorization Act of 1999.
    In addition, USAID should provide support to foreign 
torture treatment centers and programs should ensure that 
culturally appropriate care is provided. USAID should consider 
the work of the Peter C. Alderman Foundation.
    Women's leadership capacity building.--The bill provides 
$15,000,000 for programs which enhance leadership and economic

humanitarian aid provided by other donors.
    Eastern Africa.--USAID should be moving from emergency 
response to reconstruction and long-term development in regions 
such as southern Sudan, northern Uganda, the Democratic 
Republic of the Congo, and Chad as much as possible. USAID is 
directed to consult with the Committees on Appropriations on 
implementation of these activities. USAID is directed to 
increase efforts in Africa to provide assistance to victims and 
potential victims of rape and sexual violence in Darfur, 
eastern Chad, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the 
Central African Republic.

fund a commission to administer social, economic and medical 
rehabilitation programs, implement environmental restoration of 
polluted land, and provide funding for clean drinking water 
should continue.

$350,000,000 appropriated in Public Law 110-252.

to hold administrative expenses to a minimum, in order to 
provide the maximum funding possible for overseas refugee 
processing and services. The fiscal year 2009 spending plan

any increase above the request.
    Colombia.--The bill provides $3,500,000 for assistance for 
Colombian refugees in neighboring countries by transfer from

is $9,201,000 above the fiscal year 2008 level and $3,500,000 
below the request.

shifting strategic interests, increasing costs of programs, and 
limited resources. The Peace Corps did not respond adequately 
to the report required in the explanatory statement 
accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (Public 
Law 110-161). In addition to the annual budget justification, 
the Peace Corps shall submit the required report, not later

on a country-by-country basis.
    The bill includes a new provision requiring the Peace Corps 
to follow the regular notification procedures of the Committees 
on Appropriations when deciding to open, close, or 
significantly reduce the number of personnel of any domestic 
office.

                    MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE CORPORATION

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $875,000,000 for the MCC, which is 
$669,388,000 below the fiscal year 2008 level and 
$1,350,000,000 below the request.
    Allocation of funding.--The bill includes $875,000,000 for 
the MCC in support of its goals to reduce poverty and promote 
sustainable economic growth and democracy through country 
compacts. There is concern with the trend of significantly 
larger country compacts since the MCC's inception. The average 
size of compacts signed in 2005 was $181,000,000. By 2008, the 
average had almost tripled to $494,666,667.
    Between fiscal years 2004-2008, Congress appropriated 
$7,500,000,000 for the MCC for 18 country compacts. Of this 
amount, only $353,602,831 had been disbursed by the end of 
fiscal year 2008. In an effort to ensure that the MCC does not 
become overextended, that existing compacts are meeting their 
goals, and future compacts are of a manageable size, the MCC is 
urged to limit compact size to not more than $350,000,000 in 
fiscal year 2009. There is also a concern that threshold 
programs are not meeting their targets, and that a review of 
the efficacy of these programs is needed before additional 
threshold programs are begun. The MCC shall consult with the 
Committees on Appropriations prior to implementing new 
threshold programs.
    Compact implementation.--Several compacts are scheduled to 
be completed in 2010. Due to delays in implementation, several 
of them may not complete their programs within the five-year 
compact time limit. The MCC shall consult with the Committees 
on Appropriations on the status of the compacts on a regular 
basis. The MCC shall notify the Committees on Appropriations 
immediately if the compact program will not be completed, in 
order to allow for consideration by Congress of an extension of 
the five-year time limit.
    Contracting and procurement.--The MCC is directed to 
provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations not later 
than 120 days after enactment of this Act on actions taken to 
ensure that United States small, minority-owned, and 
disadvantaged business enterprises are able to fully 
participate in the provision of goods and services that are 
financed with funds made available to the MCC.
    Indicators.--The MCC Board of Directors is urged to 
consider the establishment of an indicator to take into 
consideration the votes and positions of countries in 
international and multilateral institutions with respect to 
internationally recognized human rights, including religious 
freedom.
    Report.--The MCC is directed to submit a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations not later than 180 days after 
enactment of this Act describing the MCC's post-compact country 
transition plan, including how the investment in each compact 
will be utilized, continued and/or maintained by each country 
in the future.

Foundation (ADF), which is $2,743,000 above the fiscal year

    The ADF is directed to provide a report to the Committees 
on Appropriations not later than 90 days after enactment of 
this Act that outlines a timeline for implementation of the 
recommendations in the June 2008 USAID Inspector General audit 
and information about actions taken to ensure that the 
shortfalls in the Senegal program are not replicated in other 
ADF country programs.

                       Department of the Treasury

               INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

    The bill provides $25,000,000 for International Affairs

                           DEBT RESTRUCTURING

Appropriations Act, 2008 (Public Law 110-252) included 
$170,000,000 for military assistance for Israel for a combined 
total of $2,550,000,000 in fiscal year 2009, as requested and 
pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding between the United 
States and Israel signed on August 16, 2007. Of the amounts 
provided, $670,650,000 is for offshore procurement of military 
equipment.
    Jordan.--The bill provides $235,000,000 for assistance for 
Jordan.
    Mexico.--The bill includes funding for assistance for 
Mexico, as part of the second phase of the Merida Initiative in 
order to fund the remaining three Bell-412 helicopters. The

helicopters.

writing not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, on 
steps taken by the Government of Morocco to protect human 
rights, and whether it is allowing all persons to: (1) freely

Tunisia to transform its military, update equipment, and 
increase counterterrorism and international peacekeeping

progress on these issues is necessary for the partnership 
between the United States and Tunisia to further strengthen.

                    EXPORT AND INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE

                Export-Import Bank of the United States

                           INSPECTOR GENERAL

    The bill provides $2,500,000 for Inspector General, which

the request.

                         SUBSIDY APPROPRIATION

    The bill provides $81,500,000 for Administrative Expenses, 
which is $4,132,000 above the fiscal year 2008 level and the 
same as the request.
    Renewable energy.--The Export-Import Bank is uniquely 
positioned to enable United States environmental exporters to 
take advantage of a surge in renewable energy projects in 
Canada, Western Europe, and Asia and therefore, of the 
aggregate loan, guarantee and insurance authority available to 
the Export-Import Bank in this Act not less than 10 percent 
should be for renewable energy technologies or energy efficient 
end-use technologies. The Export-Import Bank shall submit a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations not later than 90 
days after enactment of this Act detailing all financing 
carried out in fiscal year 2009 for these purposes. 
Additionally, adequate staff should be assigned to the Office 
of Renewable Energy and Environmental Exports.
    In fiscal year 2008, the Export-Import Bank was required to 
provide a strategy for increasing exports in renewable energy 
and environmentally beneficial products. The quality and scope 
of the strategy to increase exports in this area that was 
submitted to the Committees on Appropriations was inadequate. 
Therefore, GAO is directed to conduct an assessment of the 
Export-Import Bank's efforts to realize Congressional 
directives regarding the export of renewable energy and 
environmentally beneficial products and services, and provide 
this report to the Committees on Appropriations not later than 
180 days after enactment of this Act. The assessment should 
include recommendations to improve the program.
    Credit Export Facility for the Palestinian Authority.--The 
Export-Import Bank is directed to explore the potential for 
establishing a credit export facility for the Palestinian 
Authority by consulting with the Palestinian Authority, the 
Government of Israel, and others. Such a facility would 
ultimately be subject to a peace agreement and would have the 
goal of providing a funding facility for the private sector in 
the Palestinian Territory to purchase goods and services from 
the United States. The Export-Import Bank should report to the 
Committees on Appropriations on this proposal not later than 
180 days after enactment of this Act.

                Overseas Private Investment Corporation

                           NONCREDIT ACCOUNT

    The bill provides $50,600,000 for administrative expenses, 
which is $3,485,000 above the fiscal year 2008 level and the 
same as the request.

                            PROGRAM ACCOUNT

    The bill provides $29,000,000 for Program Account, which is 
$5,690,000 above the fiscal year 2008 level and the same as the 
request. The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) is 
directed to provide written reports on a semi-annual basis, as 
in prior years.
    Renewable energy.--OPIC should play a role in helping to 
increase investment in renewable energy technologies and energy 
efficient end-use technologies. Not later than 90 days 
following the end of fiscal year 2009, OPIC shall submit a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations detailing all 
financing, guarantees, and insurance carried out in fiscal year 
2009 for these purposes.

                  Funds Appropriated to the President

                      TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT AGENCY

    The bill provides $50,800,000 for the Trade and Development 
Agency (TDA), which is $808,000 above the fiscal year 2008 
level and the same as the request.
    Liberia.--TDA should consult with the Committees on 
Appropriations on the next phase of work related to the Mount 
Coffee Hydro Power Station and the construction of a proposed 
fiber optic ring around Monrovia.

and other detention facilities administered by foreign 
governments that the Secretary of State determines are making 
efforts to provide adequate space, sanitary disposal of human 
waste, sufficient food, clean water, medical care and other 
requirements for safe and humane detention. In addition to any 
assistance made available, the Secretary of State should 
encourage governments to vigorously monitor the conditions of 
prisons and other detention facilities under their authority, 
cooperate with international experts, and consider appointing 
ombudsmen for prisoners, reducing sentences for nonviolent 
offenders to alleviate overcrowding, moving juveniles out of

the funds appropriated by titles III and IV shall be made 
available for assistance for Colombia. The provision is similar 
to section 649 of the fiscal year 2008 Act except that the 
provision provides that any changes shall be subject to the 
regular notification procedures; withholds 30 percent of the 
assistance for the Colombian military due to human rights 
concerns; and applies the conditions not only to individuals 
who have aided or abetted paramilitaries or successor armed 
groups, but also to those who have benefitted financially, 
politically, or otherwise, from such links. Similar language is 
included regarding the denial of visas. The bill moves the 
language conditioning aerial spraying from the ``Andean 
Counterdrug Programs'' heading to this provision.
