     Secretary of State is authorized to charge a fee or surcharge 
     for processing machine readable nonimmigrant visas and 
     machine readable combined border crossing identification 
     cards and nonimmigrant visas.
       (2) Fees collected under the authority of subsection (a) 
     shall be deposited as an offsetting collection to any 
     Department of State appropriation. Such fees shall remain 
     available for obligation until expended.
       (3) For fiscal years 1994 and 1995, fees deposited under 
     the authority of paragraph (2) may not exceed a total of 
     $107,500,000. For subsequent fiscal years, fees may be 
     collected under the authority of paragraph (1) only in such 
     amounts as shall be prescribed in subsequent authorization 
     Acts.
       (4) The provisions of the Act of August 18, 1856 (Revised 
     Statutes 1726-28; 22 U.S.C. 4212-14), concerning accounting 
     for consular fees shall not apply to fees collected under 
     this subsection.
       (5) No fee or surcharge authorized under paragraph (1) may 
     be charged to a citizen of a country that is a signatory as 
     of the date of enactment of this Act to the North American 
     Free Trade Agreement, except that the Secretary of State may 
     charge such fee or surcharge to a citizen of such a country 
     if the Secretary determines that such country charges a visa 
     application or issuance fee to citizens of the United States.
       (b) Automated Visa Lookout System.--Not later than 18 
     months after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary of State shall implement an upgrade of all overseas 
     visa lookout operations to computerized systems with 
     automated multiple-name search capabilities.
       (c) Processing of Visas for Admission to the United 
     States.--
       (1)(A) Beginning 24 months after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, whenever a United States consular officer issues 
     a visa for admission to the United States, that official 
     shall certify, in writing, that a check of the Automated Visa 
     Lookout System, or any other system or list which maintains 
     information about the excludability of aliens under the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act, has been made and that there 
     is no basis under such system for the exclusion of such 
     alien.
       (B) If, at the time an alien applies for an immigrant or 
     nonimmigrant visa, the alien's name is included in the 
     Department of State's visa lookout system and the consular 
     officer to whom the application is made fails to follow the 
     procedures in processing the application required by the 
     inclusion of the alien's name in such system, the consular 
     officer's failure shall be made a matter of record and shall 
     be considered as a serious negative factor in the officer's 
     annual performance evaluation.

     failure described in paragraph (1)(B) is admitted to the 
     United States and there is thereafter probable cause to 
     believe that the alien was a participant in a terrorist act 
     causing serious loss of life or property in the United 
     States, the Secretary of State shall convene an 
     Accountability Review Board under the authority of title III 
     of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of

     State Consolidated Immigrant Visa Processing Center shall 
     have on-line access, without payment of any fee or charge, to 
     the Interstate Identification Index of the National Crime 
     Information Center solely for the purpose of determining 
     whether a visa applicant has a criminal history record 
     indexed in such Index. Such access does not entitle the 
     Department of State to obtain the full content of automated 
     records through the Interstate Identification Index. To 
     obtain the full content of a criminal history record, the 
     Department shall submit a separate request to the 
     Identification Records Section of the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation, and shall pay the appropriate fee as provided 
     for in the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the 
     Judiciary, and Related Agencies Act, 1990 (Public Law 101-

     one-time start-up and recurring incremental non-personnel 
     costs of establishing and maintaining the access authorized 
     in paragraph (1).

     Federal Bureau of Investigation selected by the Department of 
     State, and detailed to the Department on a fully reimbursable 
     basis.

     State and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
     shall jointly submit to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and 
     the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of 
     Representatives, and the Committee on Foreign Relations and 
     the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate, a report on the 
     effectiveness of the procedure authorized in this subsection.
       (5) This subsection shall cease to have effect after 
     December 31, 1997.

     posts assist United States firms in obtaining local licenses 
     and permits;''; and
       (2) in subsection (d)--
       (A) paragraph (1)(D), by striking ``and'' and inserting 
     ``or''; and
       (B) by adding at the end the following new paragraph (4):
       ``(4) the term `barrier to local competition' means--

     disadvantage United States firms;

     SEC. 142. WOMEN'S HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--The Congress makes the following 
     declarations:
       (1) The State Department should designate a senior advisor 
     to the appropriate Undersecretary to promote international 
     women's human rights within the overall human rights policy 
     of the United States Government.
       (2) The purpose of assigning a special assistant on women's 
     human rights issues is not, to segregate such issues, but 
     rather to assure that they are considered along with other 
     human rights issues in the development of United States 
     foreign policy.
       (3) A specifically designated special assistant is 
     necessary because within the human rights field and the 
     foreign policy establishment, the issues of gender-based 
     discrimination and violence against women have long been 
     ignored or made invisible.
       (4) The Congress believes that abuses against women would 
     have greater visibility and protection of women's human 
     rights would improve if the advocate were responsible for 
     integrating women's human rights issues into United States 
     foreign policy, bilateral assistance, multilateral diplomacy, 
     trade policy, and democracy promotion.
       (b) Congressional Notification.--Not later than 180 days 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
     State shall notify the Congress of the steps taken to fulfill 
     the objectives detailed in subsection (a).

     period of time, including any allowances and benefits 
     provided under paragraph (4).
       (7) The Center shall select fellows based solely on merit.

     nation's assessed contributions for United Nations 
     peacekeeping operations. As part of the overall review and 
     assessment, the Permanent Representative should make every 
     effort to advance the concept that, when appropriate, host 
     governments and other governments in the region where a 
     United Nations peacekeeping operation is carried out should 
     bear a greater burden of its financial cost.

     United States military personnel who are captured while 
     serving in a multinational force.

     following:

     ``SEC. 520. TRANSFERS OF EXCESS DEFENSE ARTICLES FOR 
                   INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS.

       ``(a) General Authority.--The President may transfer to 
     international and regional organizations of which the United 
     States is a member such excess defense articles as the 
     President determines necessary to support international 
     peacekeeping operations and other activities and operations 
     to maintain and restore international peace and security. 
     Such transfers shall be on such terms and conditions as the 
     President may determine, consistent with this section.
       ``(b) Conditionality of Authority.--
       ``(1) In general.--The authority of subsection (a) may not 
     be exercised with respect to an international or regional 
     organization until the United States has entered into a 
     written agreement with that organization providing that the 
     value of any excess defense articles transferred under this 
     section shall be credited against United States assessed 
     contributions to that organization. For purposes of this 
     paragraph, the term `value' means such amount as may be 
     agreed upon by the United States and the recipient 
     organization, except that such amount may not be less than 
     the value (as defined in section 644(m)(1) of this Act) of 
     the articles transferred.
       ``(2) Crediting of transfers.--(A) The credit provided for 
     pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be counted against United 
     States assessed contributions to the recipient organization 
     that are payable from the `Contribution to International 
     Peacekeeping Activities' account of the Department of State, 
     except to the extent such credit is counted, in accordance 
     with subparagraph (B), against an assessed contribution 
     payable from an account established within the Department of 
     Defense.
       ``(B) If--
       ``(i) an account is established within the Department of 
     Defense for payment of a portion of United States assessed 
     contributions for United Nations operations,

     section for a United Nations operation, and
       ``(iii) the United States assessed contribution for that 
     operation is payable from that account,

     the credit for those excess defense articles shall be counted 
     against the assessed contribution payable from that account, 
     but only to the extent that the value of the excess defense 
     articles so transferred for that operation during a fiscal 
     year does not exceed the total United States assessed 
     contribution payable for that operation from that account 
     during that fiscal year.
       ``(c) Limitations on Transfers.--The President may transfer 
     excess defense articles under this section only if--
       ``(1) they are drawn from existing stocks of the Department 
     of Defense (or the Coast Guard);
       ``(2) funds available to the Department of Defense (or the 
     Coast Guard) for the procurement of defense equipment are not 
     expended in connection with the transfer;
       ``(3) the transfer of the excess defense articles will not 
     have an adverse impact on the military readiness of the 
     United States; and
       ``(4) the President has established procedures and 
     requirements, comparable to those applicable under section 
     505 of this Act, to ensure that such excess defense articles 
     will be used only for purposes that have been agreed to by 
     the United States.
       ``(d) Notification to Congress.--
       ``(1) In general.--The President shall notify the 
     designated congressional committees regarding any transfer of 
     excess defense articles under this section in accordance with 
     paragraph (2). This notification shall include--

       ``(B) an assessment of the impact of the transfer on the 
     military readiness of the United States; and
       ``(C) a statement of--
       ``(i) the acquisition cost and the value (as defined in 
     section 644(m)(1) of this Act) of the excess defense articles 
     to be transferred, and
       ``(ii) the aggregate acquisition cost and the aggregate 
     value (as so defined) of all excess defense articles for 
     which notification has been provided under this subsection 
     during that fiscal year with respect to transfers to the same 
     organization under this section.
       ``(2) Timing of notice.--(A) The President shall notify the 
     designated congressional committees pursuant to paragraph (1) 
     at least 15 days before the excess defense articles are 
     transferred under this section, except as provided in 
     subparagraph (B).
       ``(B) If the President determines that an unforeseen 
     emergency requires the immediate transfer of excess defense 
     articles under this section, the President--
       ``(i) may waive the requirement of subparagraph (A) that 
     notice be provided at least 15 days in advance of the 
     transfer; and
       ``(ii) shall promptly notify the designated congressional 
     committees of such waiver and transfer.

     the term `designated congressional committees'' means the 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Committee on Armed

     Appropriations of the Senate.
       ``(e) Transportation and Related Costs.--
       ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), 
     funds available to the Department of Defense shall not be 
     expended for crating, packing, handling, and transporting 
     excess defense articles transferred under the authority of 
     this section.
       ``(2) Exception.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, the President may direct the crating, packing, handling, 
     and transporting of excess defense articles without charge to 
     an international or regional organization if the President 
     determines that waiving such costs advances the foreign 
     policy interests of the United States.
       ``(f) Waiver of Requirement for Reimbursement of DOD 
     Expenses.--Section 632(d) shall not apply with respect to 
     transfers of excess defense articles under this section and 
     to any costs of crating, packing, handling, and transporting 
     incurred under subsection (e)(2).''.

     SEC. 409. REFORM IN BUDGET DECISIONMAKING PROCEDURES OF THE

       (a) Assessed Contributions.--For assessed contributions 
     authorized to be appropriated for ``Assessed Contributions to 
     International Organizations'' by this Act, the President may 
     withhold 20 percent of the funds appropriated for the United 
     States assessed contribution to the United Nations or to any 
     of its specialized agencies for any calendar year if the 
     United Nations or any such agency has failed to implement or 
     to continue to implement consensus-based decisionmaking 
     procedures on budgetary matters which assure that sufficient 
     attention is paid to the views of the United States and other 
     member states that are the major financial contributors to 
     such assessed budgets.
       (b) Notice to Congress.--The President shall notify the 
     Congress when a decision is made to withhold any share of the 
     United States assessed contribution to the United Nations or 
     its specialized agencies pursuant to subsection (a) and shall 
     notify the Congress when the decision is made to pay any 
     previously withheld assessed contribution. A notification 
     under this subsection shall include appropriate consultation 
     between the President (or the President's representative) and 
     the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate.
       (c) Contributions for Prior Years.--Subject to the 
     availability of appropriations, payment of assessed 
     contributions for prior years may be made to the United 
     Nations or any of its specialized agencies notwithstanding 
     subsection (a) if such payment would further United States 
     interests in that organization.
       (d) Report to Congress.--Not later than February 1 of each 
     year, the President shall submit to the Congress a report 
     concerning the amount of United States assessed contributions 
     paid to the United Nations and each of its specialized 
     agencies during the preceding calendar year.
       (e) Repeal of Existing Law.--Section 162 of the Foreign

                   AND AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS.

       The United States shall not make any voluntary or assessed 
     contribution--
       (1) to any affiliated organization of the United Nations 
     which grants full membership as a state to any organization 
     or group that does not have the internationally recognized 
     attributes of statehood, or
       (2) to the United Nations, if the United Nations grants 
     full membership as a state in the United Nations to any 
     organization or group that does not have the internationally 
     recognized attributes of statehood,

     during any period in which such membership is effective.

     SEC. 411. UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL MEMBERSHIP.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The effectiveness of the United Nations Security 
     Council in maintaining international peace and security 
     depends on its being representative of the membership of the 
     United Nations.
       (2) The requirement of equitable geographic distribution in 
     Article 23 of the United Nations Charter requires that the 
     members of the Security Council of the United Nations be 
     chosen by nondiscriminatory means.
       (3) The use of informal regional groups of the General 
     Assembly as the sole means for election of the nonpermanent 
     members of the Security Council is inherently discriminatory 
     in the absence of guarantees that all member states will have 
     the opportunity to join a regional group, and has resulted in 
     discrimination against Israel.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the President should direct the Secretary of State to request 
     the Secretary-General of the United Nations to seek immediate 
     resolution of the problem described in this section. The 
     President shall inform the Congress of any progress in 
     resolving this situation, together with the submission to 
     Congress of the request for funding for the ``Contributions 
     to International Organizations'' account of the Department of 
     State for the fiscal year 1995.

     SEC. 412. REFORMS IN THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.

       (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress

     and efficient manner possible, particularly for the reduction 
     of diseases and disabilities in developing countries.
       (b) Policy.--The President shall direct the United States 
     representatives to the World Health Assembly, the Executive 
     Board, and the World Health Organization to monitor the 
     activities of the World Health Organization to ensure that 
     such organizations achieve--
       (1) the timely implementation of reforms and management 
     improvements, including those outlined in the resolutions of 
     the 46th World Health Assembly related to the external 
     Auditor (WHA 46.21), the Report of the Executive Board on the 
     WHO Response to Global Change (WHA 46.16) and actions for 
     Budgetary Reform (WHA 46.35); and
       (2) the effective and efficient utilization and monitoring 
     of resources, including--
       (A) the determination of strategic and financial 
     priorities; and
       (B) the establishment of realistic and measurable targets 
     in accordance with the established health priorities.

     SEC. 413. REFORMS IN THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION.

       In light of the longstanding efforts of the United States 
     and the other major donor nations to reform the Food and 
     Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the findings of the 
     ongoing investigation of the General Accounting Office, the 
     Congress makes the following declarations:
       (1) It should be the policy of the United States to promote 
     the following reforms in the Food and Agriculture 
     Organization:
       (A) Decentralization of the administrative structure of 
     FAO, including eliminating redundant or unnecessary 
     headquarters staff, increased responsibilities of regional 
     offices, increased time for consideration of budget issues by 
     member states, and a more meaningful and direct role for 
     member states in the decision-making process.
       (B) Reform of the FAO Council, including formation of an 
     executive management committee to provide oversight of 
     management.
       (C) Limitation of the term of the Director General and the 
     number of terms which an individual may serve.
       (D) Restructuring of the Technical Cooperation Program 
     (TCP), including reducing the number of nonemergency projects 
     funded through the TCP and establishing procedures to deploy 
     TCP consultants, supplies, and equipment in a timely manner.
       (2) In an effort to increase the presence of United States 
     personnel at the international food agencies and to enhance 
     the professionalism of these institutions, it should be the 
     policy of the United States, to the maximum extent 
     practicable, to utilize existing personnel programs such as 
     the United States Department of Agriculture Associate 
     Professional Officer program to place United States personnel 
     with unique skills in the Food and Agriculture Organization, 
     the International Fund for Agricultural Development, and the 
     World Food Program.

     SEC. 414. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ADHERENCE TO UNITED 
                   NATIONS CHARTER.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the President should seek an assurance from the 
     Secretary General of the United Nations that the United 
     Nations will comply with Article 100 of the United Nations 
     Charter;
       (2) neither the Secretary General of the United Nations nor 
     his staff should seek or receive instructions from any 
     government or from any other authority external to the United 
     Nations; and
       (3) the President should report to Congress when he 
     receives such assurance from the Secretary General of the 
     United Nations.

     access for girls, and special services and family tracing for

     under this section by raising at the highest levels of 
     government the issue of abuses against refugee women and 
     children by governments or insurgent groups that engage in, 
     permit, or condone--
       (1) a pattern of gross violations of internationally 
     recognized human rights, such as torture or cruel, inhumane, 
     or degrading treatment or punishment, prolonged detention 
     without charges, or other flagrant denial to life, liberty, 
     and the security of person;
       (2) the blockage of humanitarian relief assistance;

     ``Guidelines on the Protection of Refugee Women.--The 
     Secretary of State should work to ensure that multilateral

     with its international obligations and in keeping with the 
     longstanding humanitarian tradition of the United States, 
     promote increased respect internationally for the rights to 
     food and to medical care, including the protection of these 
     rights with respect to civilians and noncombatants during 
     times of armed conflict (such as through ensuring safe 
     passage of relief supplies and access to impartial 
     humanitarian relief organizations providing relief 
     assistance).
       (2) Responsibilities of assistant secretary of state.--The 
     responsibilities of the assistant secretary of State who is 
     responsible for human rights and humanitarian affairs shall 
     include promoting increased respect internationally for the 
     rights to food and to medical care in accordance with 
     paragraph (1).

     transfer in any way any defense article or defense service 
     should be made to any nation that does not fully furnish all 
     pertinent data to the United Nations Register of Conventional 
     Arms pursuant to United Nations General Assembly Resolution 
     46/36L by the reporting date specified by such register;
       (2) if a nation has not submitted the required information 
     by the reporting date of a particular year, but subsequently 
     submits notification to the United Nations that it intends to 
     provide such information at the next reporting date, an 
     agreement may be negotiated with the nation or a license may 
     be issued, but the actual delivery of such defense article or 
     service should not occur until that nation submits such 
     information; and
       (3) the President should seek to restart the United Nations 
     Security Council ``Perm-5'' talks and should report to the 
     Congress on the progress of such talks and the effects of 
     United States agreements since October 1991 to sell arms to 
     the developing world.

       (1) there is a growing concern among some of the Members of

     General in Federal agencies may be undesirable, therefore
       (2) the issue of amending the Inspector General Act to 
     establish term limits for Inspectors General should be 
     examined and considered as soon as possible by the 
     appropriate committees of jurisdiction.

     the Iraqi regime, and
       (ii) the partial lifting of the embargo will not materially 
     assist the Iraqi regime;

     including the establishment of a safe haven, to the marsh 
     Arabs in southern Iraq; and

                   SHOULD MEET TO CONTINUE TO RECEIVE 
                   NONDISCRIMINATORY MOST-FAVORED-NATION 
                   TREATMENT.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) In an Executive Order of May 28, 1993, the President 
     established conditions for renewal of most-favored-nation 
     (MFN) status for the People's Republic of China in 1994.
       (2) The Executive Order requires that in making a 
     recommendation about the further extension of MFN status to 
     China, the Secretary of State shall not recommend extension 
     unless the Secretary determines that--
       (A) extension will substantially promote the freedom of 
     emigration objectives of section 402 of the Trade Act of 
     1974; and
       (B) China is complying with the 1992 bilateral agreement 
     between the United States and China concerning prison labor.
       (3) The Executive Order further requires that in making a 
     recommendation, the Secretary of State shall determine 
     whether China has made overall, significant progress with 
     respect to--
       (A) taking steps to begin adhering to the Universal 
     Declaration of Human Rights;
       (B) releasing and providing an acceptable accounting for 
     Chinese citizens imprisoned or detained for the non-violent 
     expression of their political and religious beliefs, 
     including such expression of religious beliefs in connection 
     with the Democracy Wall and Tiananmen Square movements;
       (C) ensuring humane treatment of prisoners, such as by 
     allowing access to prisons by international humanitarian and 
     human rights organizations;
       (D) protecting Tibet's distinctive religious and cultural 
     heritage; and
       (E) permitting international radio and television 
     broadcasts into China.
       (4) The Executive Order further requires the Executive 
     Branch to resolutely pursue all legislative and executive 
     actions to ensure that China abides by its commitments to 
     follow fair, nondiscriminatory trade practices in dealing 
     with United States businesses, and adheres to the Nuclear 
     Nonproliferation Treaty, the Missile Technology Control 
     Regime guidelines and parameters, and other nonproliferation 
     commitments.
       (5) The Chinese government should cooperate with 
     international efforts to obtain North Korea's full, 
     unconditional compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
     Treaty.
       (6) The President has initiated an intensive high-level 
     dialogue with the Chinese government which began last year 
     with a meeting between the Secretary of State and the Chinese 
     Foreign Minister, including a meeting in Seattle between the 
     President and the President of China, meetings in Beijing 
     with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Assistant Secretary 
     for Human Rights and others, a recent meeting in Paris 
     between the Secretary of State and the Chinese Foreign 
     Minister, and recent meetings in Washington with several 
     Under Secretaries and their Chinese counterparts.
       (7) The President's efforts have led to some recent 
     progress on some issues of concern to the United States.
       (8) Notwithstanding this, substantially more progress is 
     needed to meet the standards in the President's Executive 
     Order.
       (9) The Chinese government's overall human rights record in 
     1993 fell far short of internationally accepted norms as it 
     continued to repress critics and failed to control abuses by 
     its own security forces.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that 
     the President of the United States should use all appropriate 
     opportunities, in particular more high-level exchanges with 
     the Chinese government, to press for further concrete 
     progress toward meeting the standards for continuation of MFN 
     status as contained in the Executive Order.

     SEC. 514. IMPLEMENTATION OF PARTNERSHIP FOR PEACE.

       (a) Report to Congress.--The President shall submit 
     annually, beginning 90 days after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, a detailed report to the Committee on Foreign 
     Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
     of the House of Representatives on the implementation of the 
     ``Partnership for Peace'' initiative, including an assessment 
     of the progress made by former members of the Warsaw Treaty 
     Organization in meeting the criteria for full membership 
     articulated in Article 10 of the North Atlantic Treaty, 
     wherein any other European state may, by unanimous agreement, 
     be invited to accede to the North Atlantic Treaty if it is in 
     a position to further the principles of the Treaty and to 
     contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area.
       (b) Authority of the President.--The President is 
     authorized to confer, pursuant to agreement with any country 
     eligible to participate in the Partnership for Peace, rights 
     in respect of the military and related civilian personnel 
     (including dependents of any such personnel) and activities 
     of that country in the United States comparable to the rights 
     conferred by that country in respect of the military and 
     related civilian personnel (including dependents of any such 
     personnel) and activities of the United States in that 
     country.

     SEC. 515. POLICY TOWARD THAILAND, CAMBODIA, LAOS, AND BURMA.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the creation of a new Cambodian government through 
     United Nations sponsored elections offers a unique 
     opportunity for the revival of the Cambodian nation, an 
     opportunity which the United States should help realize;
       (2) the President should enunciate a clear policy toward 
     Burma and, in so doing, be guided by the approach in Senate 
     Resolution 112;
       (3) the government and people of Thailand are to be 
     commended for Thailand's return to civilian, democratic rule, 
     and for its contribution to the implementation of the Paris 
     Peace Accords on Cambodia;
       (4) the President of the United States should convey to 
     Thailand United States concern over the continued support for 
     the Khmer Rouge by elements of the Thai military and to urge 
     the Thai Government to intensify its efforts to terminate 
     that support, in accordance with the Paris Peace Accords;
       (5) the Government of Thailand should continue to allow the 
     democratic leaders of Burma to operate freely within Thailand 
     and to grant them free passage to allow them to present their 
     case at the United Nations and other international 
     gatherings;
       (6) the President of the United States should urge the 
     Government of Thailand to prosecute, with the full force of 
     law, those responsible for the trafficking, forced labor, and 
     physical and sexual abuse of women and children in Thailand, 
     and to protect the civil and human rights of Burmese women in 
     Thailand and prevent their further victimization; and
       (7) the United States should work with the United Nations 
     High Commissioner for Refugees, the Government of Thailand, 
     and other relevant parties to ensure that the rights of 
     asylum seekers in Thailand, and in particular the Hmong 
     people from Laos, are fully respected and that force is not 
     used in any repatriations.

     SEC. 516. PEACE PROCESS IN NORTHERN IRELAND.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the United States 
     should--
       (1) strongly encourage all parties to the conflict in the 
     North of Ireland to renounce violence and to participate in 
     the current search for peace in the region; and
       (2) assist in furthering the peace process where 
     appropriate.

     SEC. 517. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN 
                   INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.

       (a) Senate Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) The freedom and security of the international community 
     rests on the sanctity of the rule of law.
       (2) The international community is increasingly threatened 
     by unlawful acts such as war crimes, genocide, aggression, 
     crimes against humanity, terrorism, drug trafficking, money 
     laundering, and other crimes of an international character.
       (3) The prosecution of individuals suspected of carrying 
     out such acts is often impeded by political and legal 
     obstacles such as amnesties, disputes over extradition, 
     differences in the structure and capabilities of national 
     courts, and the lack of uniform guidelines under which to try 
     such individuals.
       (4) The war crimes trials held in the aftermath of World 
     War II at Nuremberg, Germany, and Tokyo, Japan, demonstrated 
     that fair and effective prosecution of war criminals could be 
     carried out in an international forum.
       (5) Since its inception in 1945 the United Nations has 
     sought to build on the precedent established at the Nuremberg 
     and Tokyo trials by establishing a permanent international 
     criminal court with jurisdiction over crimes of an 
     international character.
       (6) United Nations General Assembly Resolution 44/39, 
     adopted on December 4, 1989, called on the International Law 
     Commission to study the feasibility of an international 
     criminal court.
       (7) In the years after passage of that resolution the 
     International Law Commission has taken a number of steps to 
     advance the debate over such a court, including--
       (A) the provisional adoption of a draft Code of Crimes 
     Against the Peace and Security of Mankind;
       (B) the creation of a Working Group on an International 
     Criminal Jurisdiction and the formulation by that Working 
     Group of several concrete proposals for the establishment and 
     operation of an international criminal court; and
       (C) the determination that an international criminal court 
     along the lines of that suggested by the Working Group is 
     feasible and that the logical next step would be to proceed 
     with the formal drafting of a statute for such a court.
       (8) United Nations General Assembly Resolution 47/33, 
     adopted on November 25, 1992, called on the International Law 
     Commission to begin the process of drafting a statute for an 
     international criminal court at its next session.
       (9) Given the developments of recent years, the time is 
     propitious for the United States to lend its support to this 
     effort.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the establishment of an international criminal court 
     with jurisdiction over crimes of an international character 
     would greatly strengthen the international rule of law;
       (2) such a court would thereby serve the interests of the 
     United States and the world community; and
       (3) the United States delegation should make every effort 
     to advance this proposal at the United Nations.
       (c) Required Report.--Not later than 14 days after the date 
     of enactment of this Act the President shall submit to the 
     Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate a detailed 
     report on developments relating to, and United States efforts 
     in support of, the establishment of an international criminal 
     court with jurisdiction over crimes of an international 
     character.

     SEC. 518. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT PARTICIPATION.

       The United States Senate will not consent to the 
     ratification of a treaty providing for United States 
     participation in an international criminal court with 
     jurisdiction over crimes of an international nature which 
     permits representatives of any terrorist organization, 
     including but not limited to the Palestine Liberation 
     Organization, or citizens, nationals or residents of any 
     country listed by the Secretary of State under section 6(j) 
     of the Export Administration Act of 1979 as having repeatedly 
     provided support for acts of international terrorism, to sit 
     in judgement on American citizens.

     SEC. 519. PROTECTION OF FIRST AND FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

       The United States Senate will not consent to the 
     ratification of any Treaty providing for United States 
     participation in an international criminal court with 
     jurisdiction over crimes of an international character unless 
     American citizens are guaranteed, in the terms establishing 
     such a court, and in the court's operation, that the court 
     will take no action infringing upon or diminishing their 
     rights under the First and Fourth Amendments of the 
     Constitution of the United States, as interpreted by the 
     United States.

     SEC. 520. POLICY ON TERMINATION OF UNITED STATES ARMS 
                   EMBARGO.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On July 10, 1991, the United States adopted a policy 
     suspending all licenses and other approvals to export or 
     otherwise transfer defense articles and defense services to 
     Yugoslavia.
       (2) On September 25, 1991, the United Nations Security 
     Council adopted Resolution 713, which imposed a mandatory 
     international embargo on all deliveries of weapons and 
     military equipment to Yugoslavia.
       (3) The United States considered the policy adopted July 
     10, 1991, to comply fully with Resolution 713 and therefore 
     took no additional action in response to that resolution.
       (4) On January 8, 1992, the United Nations Security Council 
     adopted Resolution 727, which decided that the mandatory arms 
     embargo imposed by Resolution 713 should apply to any 
     independent states that might thereafter emerge on the 
     territory of Yugoslavia.
       (5) On February 29 and March 1, 1992, the people of Bosnia 
     and Herzegovina voted in a referendum to declare independence 
     from Yugoslavia.
       (6) On April 7, 1992, the United States recognized the 
     Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
       (7) On May 22, 1992, the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina was admitted to full membership in the United 
     Nations.
       (8) Consistent with Resolution 727, the United States has 
     continued to apply the policy adopted July 10, 1991, to 
     independent states that have emerged on the territory of the 
     former Yugoslavia, including Bosnia and Herzegovina.
       (9) Subsequent to the adoption of Resolution 727 and Bosnia 
     and Herzegovina's independence referendum, the siege of 
     Sarajevo began and fighting spread to other areas of Bosnia 
     and Herzegovina.
       (10) The Government of Serbia intervened directly in the 
     fighting by providing significant military, financial, and 
     political support and direction to Serbian-allied irregular 
     forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
       (11) In statements dated May 1 and May 12, 1992, the 
     Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe declared 
     that the Government of Serbia and the Serbian-controlled 
     Yugoslav National Army were committing aggression against the 
     Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina and assigned to them 
     prime responsibility for the escalation of bloodshed and 
     destruction.
       (12) On May 30, 1992, the United Nations Security Council 
     adopted Resolution 757, which condemned the Government of 
     Serbia for its continued failure to respect the territorial 
     integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
       (13) Serbian-allied irregular forces have occupied 
     approximately 70 percent of the territory of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina, committed gross violations of human rights in 
     the areas they have occupied, and established a secessionist 
     government committed to eventual unification with Serbia.
       (14) The military and other support and direction provided 
     to Serbian-allied irregular forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina 
     constitutes an armed attack on the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina by the Government of Serbia within the meaning of 
     Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
       (15) Under Article 51, the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina, as a member of the United Nations, has an 
     inherent right of individual or collective self-defense 
     against the armed attack from the Government of Serbia until 
     the United Nations Security Council has taken measures 
     necessary to maintain international peace and security.
       (16) The measures taken by the United Nations Security 
     Council in response to the armed attack on Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina have not been adequate to maintain international 
     peace and security.
       (17) Bosnia and Herzegovina has been unable successfully to 
     resist the armed attack from Serbia because it lacks the 
     means to counter heavy weaponry that Serbia obtained from the 
     Yugoslav National Army upon the dissolution of Yugoslavia, 
     and because the mandatory international arms embargo has 
     prevented Bosnia and Herzegovina from obtaining from other 
     countries the means to counter such heavy weaponry.
       (18) On December 18, 1992, with the affirmative vote of the 
     United States, the United Nations General Assembly adopted 
     Resolution 47/121, which urged the United Nations Security 
     Council to exempt Bosnia and Herzegovina from the mandatory 
     arms embargo imposed by Resolution 713.
       (19) In the absence of adequate measures to maintain 
     international peace and security, continued application to 
     the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina of the mandatory 
     international arms embargo imposed by the United Nations 
     Security Council prior to the armed attack on Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina undermines that government's right of individual 
     or collective self-defense and therefore contravenes Article 
     51 of the United Nations Charter.
       (20) Bosnia and Herzegovina's right of self-defense under 
     Article 51 of the United Nations Charter includes the right 
     to ask for military assistance from other countries and to 
     receive such assistance if offered.
       (b) Policy on Termination of Arms Embargo.--(1) It is the 
     sense of the Congress that the President should terminate the 
     United States arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina upon receipt from that government of a request 
     for assistance in exercising its right of self-defense under 
     Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
       (2) As used in this subsection, the term ``United States 
     arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina'' 
     means the application to the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina of--
       (A) the policy adopted July 10, 1991, and published in the 
     Federal Register of July 19, 1991 (58 Fed. Reg. 33322) under 
     the heading ``Suspension of Munitions Export Licenses to 
     Yugoslavia''; and
       (B) any similar policy being applied by the United States 
     Government as of the date of receipt of the request described 
     in subsection (a) pursuant to which approval is routinely 
     denied for transfers of defense articles and defense services 
     to the former Yugoslavia.
       (c) Policy on Military Assistance.--The President should 
     provide appropriate military assistance to the Government of 
     Bosnia and Herzegovina upon receipt from that government of a 
     request for assistance in exercising its right of self-
     defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.

     SEC. 521. SENSE OF SENATE ON RELATIONS WITH VIETNAM.

       It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the Government of the United States is committed to 
     seeking the fullest possible accounting of American 
     servicemen unaccounted for during the war in Vietnam;
       (2) cooperation by the Government of Vietnam on resolving 
     the fate of those American servicemen unaccounted for has 
     increased significantly over the last three years and is 
     essential to the resolution of outstanding POW/MIA cases;
       (3) substantial and tangible progress has been made in the 
     POW/MIA accounting process;
       (4) cooperative efforts between the United States and 
     Vietnam should continue in order to resolve all outstanding 
     questions concerning the fate of Americans missing-in-action;
       (5) United States senior military commanders and United 
     States personnel working in the field to account for United 
     States POW/MIAs in Vietnam believe that lifting the United 
     States trade embargo against Vietnam will facilitate and 
     accelerate the accounting efforts;
       (6) therefore, in order to maintain and expand further 
     United States and Vietnamese efforts to obtain the fullest 
     possible accounting, the President should lift the United 
     States trade embargo against Vietnam expeditiously; and
       (7) moveover, as the United States and Vietnam move toward 
     normalization of relations, the Government of Vietnam should 
     demonstrate further improvements in meeting internationally 
     recognized standards of human rights.

     SEC. 522. REPORT ON SANCTIONS ON VIETNAM.

       Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the President shall submit a report, taking into account 
     information available to the United States Government, to the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives on achieving the 
     fullest possible accounting of United States personnel 
     unaccounted for from the Vietnam War, including--
       (1) progress on recovering and repatriating American 
     remains from Vietnam;
       (2) progress on resolution of discrepancy cases;
       (3) the status of Vietnamese cooperation in implementing 
     trilateral investigations with Laos; and
       (4) progress on accelerated efforts to obtain all POW/MIA 
     related documents from Vietnam.

     and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate a report 
     detailing the structure, current activities, external 
     support, and history of the People's Mujaheddin of Iran. Such 
     report shall include information on any current direct or 
     indirect support by the People's Mujaheddin for acts of 
     international terrorism.
       (b) Consultation.--In compiling the report required under 
     subsection (a), the President shall consult with the 
     Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney 
     General, the Secretary of Transportation, the intelligence 
     community, and such law enforcement agencies as may be 
     appropriate.
       (c) Classification.--The President should, to the maximum 
     extent possible, submit the report required under subsection 
     (a) in an unclassified form.

     SEC. 524. AMENDMENTS TO THE PLO COMMITMENTS COMPLIANCE ACT.

       The PLO Commitments Compliance Act of 1989 (title VIII of 
     Public Law 101-246) is amended--
       (1) in section 804(b), by striking ``Beginning 30 days 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, and every 120 days

     the PLO in response to the commitments made by the PLO in 
     letters to the Prime Minister of Israel and the Foreign 
     Minister of Norway of September 9, 1993; and''.

     SEC. 525. FREE TRADE IN IDEAS.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the President should not restrict travel or exchanges 
     for informational, educational, religious, cultural, or 
     humanitarian purposes or for public performances or 
     exhibitions, between the United States and any other country.
       (b) Amendments to Trading With the Enemy Act.--(1) Section 
     5(b)(4) of the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. App. 
     5(b)(4)) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(4) The authority granted to the President by this 
     section does not include the authority to regulate or 
     prohibit, directly or indirectly, the importation from any 
     country, or the exportation to any country, whether

     including but not limited to, publications, films, posters,

     such controls promote the nonproliferation or antiterrorism 
     policies of the United States, or with respect to which acts 
     are prohibited by chapter 37 of title 18, United States 
     Code.''.
       (2) The authorities conferred upon the President by section 
     5(b) of the Trading With the Enemy Act, which were being 
     exercised with respect to a country on July 1, 1977, as a 
     result of a national emergency declared by the President 
     before such date, and are being exercised on the date of the

     United States, or with respect to which acts are prohibited 
     by chapter 37 of title 18, United States Code; or
       ``(4) any transactions ordinarily incident to travel to or

     SEC. 527. EXPROPRIATION OF UNITED STATES PROPERTY.

       (a) Prohibition.--None of the funds made available to carry 
     out this Act, the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, or the Arms 
     Export Control Act may be provided to a government or any

     SEC. 528. REPORT ON RUSSIAN MILITARY OPERATIONS IN THE 
                   INDEPENDENT STATES OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.

       (a) In General.--Not later than 5 months after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to Congress

       (b) Content of Report.--The report required by subsection 
     (a) shall include, but not be limited to--
       (1) an assessment of the numbers and types of Russian armed 
     forces deployed in each of the other independent states of 
     the former Soviet Union and in the Baltic States and a 
     summary of their operations and activities since the demise

     SEC. 529. UNITED STATES POLICY ON NORTH KOREA.

       It is the sense of the Congress that:
       (1) It is in the United States national security interest 
     to curtail the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, 
     particularly nuclear weapons.
       (2) The North Korea Nuclear weapons program is one of the 
     most pressing national security challenges the United States 
     currently faces.
       (3) North Korea's development of other weapons of mass 
     destruction and of ballistic missiles further threatens 
     United States national security interests and regional 
     security.
       (4) United States policy should ensure that North Korea 
     does not possess a nuclear bomb or the capability to build 
     one.
       (5) United States forces in Korea must remain vigilant and 
     maintain a robust defense posture.
       (6) While diplomacy is the preferable method of dealing 
     with the North Korean nuclear challenge, all options, 
     including the appropriate use of force, remain available.
       (7) In fashioning an appropriate policy for dealing with 
     the challenge presented by North Korea's nuclear program, the 
     Administration should consult closely with United States 
     treaty allies, particularly Japan and the Republic of Korea, 
     as well as with China, Russia, and other members of the 
     United Nations Security Council.
       (8) United States policy should support the efforts of the 
     International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as the 
     international community's designated body for verifying 
     compliance with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, to 
     perform inspections of North Korea's nuclear program.
       (9) The United States should encourage strong and 
     expeditious action by the United Nations Security Council 
     inasmuch as North Korea has proved unwilling to comply fully 
     with the following:
       (A) North Korea's December 1991 denuclearization agreement 
     with South Korea pledging not to possess, manufacture, or use 
     nuclear weapons, not to possess plutonium reprocessing 
     facilities, and to negotiate the establishment of a nuclear 
     inspection system.
       (B) The nuclear safeguards agreement North Korea signed 
     with the IAEA on January 30, 1992.
       (C) The agreement on IAEA inspections North Korea accepted 
     on February 15, 1994.
       (10) Unless North Korea unequivocally adheres to the 
     Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and abides by all provisions 
     of that treaty, the President should seek international 
     consensus to isolate North Korea, including the imposition of 
     sanctions, in an effort to persuade Pyongyang to halt its 
     nuclear weapons program and permit IAEA inspections of all 
     its nuclear facilities.
       (11) Recognizing that within the international community 
     China has significant influence over Pyongyang, the nature 
     and extent of Chinese cooperation with the rest of the 
     international community on the North Korean nuclear issue, 
     including Chinese support for international sanctions should 
     such sanctions be proposed and/or adopted, will inevitably be 
     a significant factor in United States-China relations.
       (12) If unable to achieve an international consensus to 
     isolate North Korea, the President should employ all 
     unilateral means of leverage over North Korea, including, but 
     not limited to, the prohibition of any transaction involving 
     the commercial sale of any good or technology to North Korea.
       (13) The President should consult with United States allies 
     in the region regarding the military posture of North Korea 
     and the ability of the United States and its allies to deter 
     a North Korean attack, or to defeat such an attack should it 
     occur.
       (14) Toward these ends, the United States and South Korea 
     should take all steps necessary to ensure that United States 
     and South Korean forces stationed on the Korean peninsula can 
     defend themselves, including the holding of Team Spirit or 
     other joint military exercises, the deployment of Patriot 
     missiles to South Korea, and other appropriate measures.
       (15) The problem posed by North Korea's nuclear program is 
     not a bilateral problem between the United States and North 
     Korea, but a problem in which virtually the entire global 
     community is united against North Korea.
       (16) The international community must insist upon full 
     compliance by North Korea with all its nonproliferation 
     commitments including acceptance of regular and ad hoc 
     inspections of its declared nuclear facilities on a 
     continuing basis, as well as special inspections of all 
     suspected nuclear sites as the IAEA deems appropriate.
       (17) International concerns about North Korea's nuclear 
     intentions and capabilities will not be adequately addressed 
     until North Korea cooperates fully with the IAEA, all North 
     Korea nuclear facilities and materials are placed under 
     fullscope safeguards, and North Korea adheres unequivocally 
     to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty as well as to its 1991 
     denuclearization agreement with South Korea.
       (18) The Administration should work to encourage a 
     productive dialogue between North and South Korea that 
     adequately addresses all security concerns on the Korean 
     peninsula.

     SEC. 530. ENFORCEMENT OF NONPROLIFERATION TREATIES.

       (a) Policy.--It is the sense of the Congress that the

     Representative to the United Nations to enhance the role of 
     that institution in the enforcement of nonproliferation 
     treaties through the passage of a United Nations Security 
     Council resolution which would state that, any non-nuclear 
     weapon state that is found by the United Nations Security 
     Council, in consultation with the International Atomic Energy 
     Agency (IAEA), to have terminated, abrogated, or materially 
     violated an IAEA full-scope safeguards agreement would be 
     subjected to international economic sanctions, the scope of 
     which to be determined by the United Nations Security 
     Council.
       (b) Prohibition.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, no United States assistance under the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961 shall be provided to any non-nuclear weapon state 
     that is found by the President to have terminated, abrogated, 
     or materially violated an IAEA full-scope safeguard agreement 
     or materially violated a bilateral United States nuclear 
     cooperation agreement entered into after the date of 
     enactment of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978.
       (c) Waiver.--The President may waive the application of 
     subsection (b) if--
       (1) the President determines that the termination of such 
     assistance would be seriously prejudicial to the achievement 
     of United States nonproliferation objectives or otherwise 
     jeopardize the common defense and security; and
       (2) the President reports such determination to the 
     Congress at least 15 days in advance of any resumption of 
     assistance to that state.

     SEC. 531. TAIWAN.

       In view of the self-defense needs of Taiwan, the Congress 
     makes the following declarations:
       (1) Sections 2 and 3 of the Taiwan Relations Act are 
     reaffirmed.
       (2) Section 3 of the Taiwan Relations Act take primacy over 
     statements of United States policy, including communiques, 
     regulations, directives, and policies based thereon.
       (3) In assessing the extent to which the People's Republic 
     of China is pursuing its ``fundamental policy'' to strive 
     peacefully to resolve the Taiwan issue, the United States 
     should take into account both the capabilities and intentions 
     of the People's Republic of China.
       (4) The President should on a regular basis assess changes 
     in the capabilities and intentions of the People's Republic 
     of China and consider whether it is appropriate to adjust 
     arms sales to Taiwan accordingly.

     SEC. 532. WAIVER OF SANCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE FEDERAL 
                   REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA TO PROMOTE DEMOCRACY

       (a) Authority.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
     the President is authorized and encouraged to exempt from 
     sanctions imposed against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia 
     those United States-supported programs, projects, or 
     activities involving reform of the electoral process, or the 
     development of democratic institutions or democratic 
     political parties.
       (b) Policy.--The President, acting through the United 
     States Permanent Representative to the United Nations, should 
     propose that any action, past or future, by the Security 
     Council pursuant to Article 41 of the United Nations Charter, 
     with respect to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, should 
     take account of the exemption described in subsection (a).

     made regarding goals and procedures for implementation.

     who were victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity

     to 1945 should be compensated by the Government of Germany.

     SEC. 536. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ON OCCUPIED TIBET.

       (a) Report on United States-Tibet Relations.--Because

     country under international law and that its true 
     representatives are the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government 
     in exile--
       (1) it is the sense of the Congress that the United States 
     should seek to establish a dialogue with those recognized by 
     Congress as the true representatives of the Tibetan people, 
     the Dalai Lama, his representatives and the Tibetan 
     Government in exile, concerning the situation in Tibet and 
     the future of the Tibetan people and to expand and strengthen

     his representatives and the Tibetan Government in exile, and 
     on conditions in Tibet.
       (b) Separate Tibet Reports.--

     separate report on Tibet listed alphabetically with its own 
     state heading.

     international situation fostered by the end of the Cold War, 
     the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the resulting 
     emergence of fifteen new independent states, and the 
     revolutionary changes in Eastern Europe, is to prevent the 
     proliferation of nuclear weapons and their means of delivery 
     and of advanced conventional armaments, to eliminate chemical 
     and biological weapons, and to reduce and limit the large 
     numbers of nuclear weapons in the former Soviet Union, as 
     well as to prevent regional conflicts and conventional arms 
     races; and
       (2) an ultimate goal of the United States continues to be a 
     world in which the use of force is subordinated to the rule 
     of law and international change is achieved peacefully 
     without the danger and burden of destabilizing and costly 
     armaments.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this part is--
       (1) to strengthen the United States Arms Control and

                   ENGAGING IN EXPORT ACTIVITIES THAT CONTRIBUTE 
                   TO PROLIFERATION.

       (a) Determination by the President.--
       (1) In general.--Except as provided in subsection (b)(2), 
     the President shall impose the sanction described in 
     subsection (c) if the President determines in writing that, 
     on or after the effective date of this part, a foreign person 
     or a United States person has materially and with requisite 
     knowledge contributed, through the export from the United 
     States or any other country of any goods or technology (as 
     defined in section 830(2)), to the efforts by any individual, 
     group, or non-nuclear-weapon state to acquire unsafeguarded 
     special nuclear material or to use, develop, produce, 
     stockpile, or otherwise acquire any nuclear explosive device.
       (2) Persons against which the sanction is to be imposed.--
     The sanction shall be imposed pursuant to paragraph (1) on--
       (A) the foreign person or United States person with respect 
     to which the President makes the determination described in 
     that paragraph;
       (B) any successor entity to that foreign person or United 
     States person;
       (C) any foreign person or United States person that is a 
     parent or subsidiary of that person if that parent or 
     subsidiary materially and with requisite knowledge assisted 
     in the activities which were the basis of that determination; 
     and
       (D) any foreign person or United States person that is an 
     affiliate of that person if that affiliate materially and 
     with requisite knowledge assisted in the activities which 
     were the basis of that determination and if that affiliate is 
     controlled in fact by that person.
       (3) Other sanctions available.--The sanction which is 
     required to be imposed for activities described in this 
     subsection is in addition to any other sanction which may be 
     imposed for the same activities under any other provision of 
     law.
       (4) Definition.--For purposes of this subsection, the term 
     ``requisite knowledge'' means situations in which a person 
     ``knows'', as ``knowing'' is defined in section 104 of the 
     Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (15 U.S.C. 78dd-2).
       (b) Consultation With and Actions by Foreign Government of 
     Jurisdiction.--
       (1) Consultations.--If the President makes a determination 
     described in subsection (a)(1) with respect to a foreign 
     person, the Congress urges the President to initiate 
     consultations immediately with the government with primary 
     jurisdiction over that foreign person with respect to the 
     imposition of the sanction pursuant to this section.
       (2) Actions by government of jurisdiction.--In order to 
     pursue such consultations with that government, the President 
     may delay imposition of the sanction pursuant to this section 
     for up to 90 days. Following these consultations, the 
     President shall impose the sanction unless the President 
     determines and certifies in writing to the Congress that that 
     government has taken specific and effective actions, 
     including appropriate penalties, to terminate the involvement 
     of the foreign person in the activities described in 
     subsection (a)(1). The President may delay the imposition of 
     the sanction for up to an additional 90 days if the President 
     determines and certifies in writing to the Congress that that 
     government is in the process of taking the actions described 
     in the preceding sentence.
       (3) Report to congress.--Not later than 90 days after 
     making a determination under subsection (a)(1), the President

     such government has taken specific corrective actions.
       (c) Sanction.--
       (1) Description of sanction.--The sanction to be imposed 
     pursuant to subsection (a)(1) is, except as provided in 
     paragraph (2) of this subsection, that the United States 
     Government shall not procure, or enter into any contract for 
     the procurement of, any goods or services from any person 
     described in subsection (a)(2).
       (2) Exceptions.--The President shall not be required to 
     apply or maintain the sanction under this section--
       (A) in the case of procurement of defense articles or 
     defense services--
       (i) under existing contracts or subcontracts, including the 
     exercise of options for production quantities to satisfy 
     requirements essential to the national security of the United 
     States;
       (ii) if the President determines in writing that the person 
     or other entity to which the sanction would otherwise be 
     applied is a sole source supplier of the defense articles or 
     services, that the defense articles or services are 
     essential, and that alternative sources are not readily or 
     reasonably available; or
       (iii) if the President determines in writing that such 
     articles or services are essential to the national security 
     under defense coproduction agreements;
       (B) to products or services provided under contracts 
     entered into before the date on which the President publishes 
     his intention to impose the sanction;
       (C) to--
       (i) spare parts which are essential to United States 
     products or production;
       (ii) component parts, but not finished products, essential 
     to United States products or production; or
       (iii) routine servicing and maintenance of products, to the 
     extent that alternative sources are not readily or reasonably 
     available;
       (D) to information and technology essential to United 
     States products or production; or
       (E) to medical or other humanitarian items.
       (d) Advisory Opinions.--Upon the request of any person, the 
     Secretary of State may, in consultation with the Secretary of 
     Defense, issue in writing an advisory opinion to that person 
     as to whether a proposed activity by that person would 
     subject that person to the sanction under this section. Any 
     person who relies in good faith on such an advisory opinion 
     which states that the proposed activity would not subject a 
     person to such sanction, and any person who thereafter 
     engages in such activity, may not be made subject to such 
     sanction on account of such activity.
       (e) Termination of the Sanction.--The sanction imposed 
     pursuant to this section shall apply for a period of at least 
     12 months following the imposition of the sanction and shall 
     cease to apply thereafter only if the President determines 
     and certifies in writing to the Congress that--
       (1) reliable information indicates that the foreign person 
     or United States person with respect to which the 
     determination was made under subsection (a)(1) has ceased to 
     aid or abet any individual, group, or non-nuclear-weapon 
     state in its efforts to acquire unsafeguarded special nuclear 
     material or any nuclear explosive device, as described in 
     that subsection; and
       (2) the President has received reliable assurances from the 
     foreign person or United States person, as the case may be, 
     that such person will not, in the future, aid or abet any 
     individual, group, or non-nuclear-weapon state in its efforts 
     to acquire unsafeguarded special nuclear material or any 
     nuclear explosive device, as described in subsection (a)(1).
       (f) Waiver.--
       (1) Criterion for waiver.--The President may waive the 
     application of the sanction imposed on any person pursuant to 
     this section, after the end of the 12-month period beginning 
     on the date on which that sanction was imposed on that 
     person, if the President determines and certifies in writing 
     to the Congress that the continued imposition of the sanction 
     would have a serious adverse effect on vital United States 
     interests.
       (2) Notification of and report to congress.--If the 
     President decides to exercise the waiver authority provided 
     in paragraph (1), the President shall so notify the Congress 
     not less than 20 days before the waiver takes effect. Such 
     notification shall include a report fully articulating the 
     rationale and circumstances which led the President to 
     exercise the waiver authority.

               PART C--INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY

     SEC. 841. BILATERAL AND MULTILATERAL INITIATIVES.

       It is the sense of the Congress that in order to maintain 
     and enhance international confidence in the effectiveness of 
     IAEA safeguards and in other multilateral undertakings to 
     halt the global proliferation of nuclear weapons, the United 
     States should seek to negotiate with other nations and groups 
     of nations, including the IAEA Board of Governors and the 
     Nuclear Suppliers Group, to--
       (1) build international support for the principle that 
     nuclear supply relationships must require purchasing nations 
     to agree to full-scope international safeguards;
       (2) encourage each nuclear-weapon state within the meaning 
     of the Treaty to undertake a comprehensive review of its own 
     procedures for declassifying information relating to the 
     design or production of nuclear explosive devices and to 
     investigate any measures that would reduce the risk of such 
     information contributing to nuclear weapons proliferation;
       (3) encourage the deferral of efforts to produce weapons-
     grade nuclear material for large-scale commercial uses until 
     such time as safeguards are developed that can detect, on a 
     timely and reliable basis, the diversion of significant 
     quantities of such material for nuclear explosive purposes;
       (4) pursue greater financial support for the implementation 
     and improvement of safeguards from all IAEA member nations 
     with significant nuclear programs, particularly from those 
     nations that are currently using or planning to use weapons-
     grade nuclear material for commercial purposes;
       (5) arrange for the timely payment of annual financial 
     contributions by all members of the IAEA, including the 
     United States;
       (6) pursue the elimination of international commerce in 
     highly enriched uranium for use in research reactors while 
     encouraging multilateral cooperation to develop and to use 
     low-enriched alternative nuclear fuels;
       (7) oppose efforts by non-nuclear-weapon states to develop 
     or use unsafeguarded nuclear fuels for purposes of naval 
     propulsion;
       (8) pursue an international open skies arrangement that 
     would authorize the IAEA to operate surveillance aircraft and 
     would facilitate IAEA access to satellite information for 
     safeguards verification purposes;
       (9) develop an institutional means for IAEA member nations 
     to share intelligence material with the IAEA on possible 
     safeguards violations without compromising national security 
     or intelligence sources or methods;
       (10) require any exporter of a sensitive nuclear facility 
     or sensitive nuclear technology to a non-nuclear-weapon state 
     to notify the IAEA prior to export and to require safeguards 
     over that facility or technology, regardless of its 
     destination; and
       (11) seek agreement among the parties to the Treaty to 
     apply IAEA safeguards in perpetuity and to establish new 
     limits on the right to withdraw from the Treaty.

     SEC. 842. IAEA INTERNAL REFORMS.

       In order to promote the early adoption of reforms in the 
     implementation of the safeguards responsibilities of the 
     IAEA, the Congress urges the President to negotiate with 
     other nations and groups of nations, including the IAEA Board 
     of Governors and the Nuclear Suppliers Group, to--
       (1) improve the access of the IAEA within nuclear 
     facilities that are capable of producing, processing, or 
     fabricating special nuclear material suitable for use in a 
     nuclear explosive device;
       (2)(A) facilitate the IAEA's efforts to meet and to 
     maintain its own goals for detecting the diversion of nuclear 
     materials and equipment, giving particular attention to 
     facilities in which there are bulk quantities of plutonium; 
     and
       (B) if it is not technically feasible for the IAEA to meet 
     those detection goals in a particular facility, require the 
     IAEA to declare publicly that it is unable to do so;
       (3) enable the IAEA to issue fines for violations of 
     safeguards procedures, to pay rewards for information on 
     possible safeguards violations, and to establish a ``hot 
     line'' for the reporting of such violations and other illicit 
     uses of weapons-grade nuclear material;
       (4) establish safeguards at facilities engaged in the 
     manufacture of equipment or material that is especially 
     designated or prepared for the processing, use, or production 
     of special fissionable material or, in the case of non-
     nuclear-weapon states, of any nuclear explosive device;
       (5) establish safeguards over nuclear research and 
     development activities and facilities;
       (6) implement special inspections of undeclared nuclear 
     facilities, as provided for under existing safeguards 
     procedures, and seek authority for the IAEA to conduct 
     challenge inspections on demand at suspected nuclear sites;
       (7) expand the scope of safeguards to include tritium, 
     uranium concentrates, and nuclear waste containing special 
     fissionable material, and increase the scope of such 
     safeguards on heavy water;
       (8) revise downward the IAEA's official minimum amounts of 
     nuclear material (``significant quantity'') needed to make a 
     nuclear explosive device and establish these amounts as 
     national rather than facility standards;
       (9) expand the use of full-time resident IAEA inspectors at 
     sensitive fuel cycle facilities;
       (10) promote the use of near real time material accountancy 
     in the conduct of safeguards at facilities that use, produce, 
     or store significant quantities of special fissionable 
     material;
       (11) develop with other IAEA member nations an agreement on 
     procedures to expedite approvals of visa applications by IAEA 
     inspectors;
       (12) provide the IAEA the additional funds, technical 
     assistance, and political support necessary to carry out the 
     goals set forth in this subsection; and
       (13) make public the annual safeguards implementation 
     report of the IAEA, establishing a public registry of 
     commodities in international nuclear commerce, including 
     dual-use goods, and creating a public repository of current 
     nuclear trade control laws, agreements, regulations, and 
     enforcement and judicial actions by IAEA member nations.

   TITLE IX--COMMISSION ON PROTECTING AND REDUCING GOVERNMENT SECRECY

     SEC. 901. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Protection and Reduction 
     of Government Secrecy Act''.

     SEC. 902. FINDINGS.

        The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) During the Cold War an extensive secrecy system 
     developed which limited public access to information and 
     reduced the ability of the public to participate with full 
     knowledge in the process of governmental decision-making.
       (2) In 1992 alone 6,349,532 documents were classified and 
     approximately three million persons held some form of 
     security clearance.
       (3) The burden of managing more than 6 million newly 
     classified documents every year has led to tremendous 
     administrative expense, reduced communication within the 
     government and within the scientific community, reduced 
     communication between the government and the people of the 
     United States, and the selective and unauthorized public 
     disclosure of classified information.
       (4) It has been estimated that private businesses spend 
     more than $14 billion each year implementing government 
     mandated regulations for protecting classified information.
       (5) If a smaller amount of truly sensitive information were 
     classified the information could be held more securely.
       (6) In 1970 a Task Force organized by the Defense Science 
     Board and headed by Dr. Frederick Seitz concluded that ``more 
     might be gained than lost if our Nation were to adopt--
     unilaterally, if necessary--a policy of complete openness in 
     all areas of information''.
       (7) The procedures for granting security clearances have 
     themselves become an expensive and inefficient part of the 
     secrecy system and should be closely examined.
       (8) A bipartisan study commission specially constituted for 
     the purpose of examining the consequences of the secrecy 
     system will be able to offer comprehensive proposals for 
     reform.

     SEC. 903. PURPOSE.

       It is the purpose of this title to establish for a two-year 
     period a Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government 
     Secrecy--
       (1) to examine the implications of the extensive 
     classification of information and to make recommendations to 
     reduce the volume of information classified and thereby to 
     strengthen the protection of legitimately classified 
     information; and
       (2) to examine and make recommendations concerning current 
     procedures relating to the granting of security clearances.

     SEC. 904. COMPOSITION OF THE COMMISSION.

       (a) Establishment.--To carry out the purpose of this title, 
     there is established a Commission on Protecting and Reducing 
     Government Secrecy (in this title referred to as the 
     ``Commission'').
       (b) Composition.--The Commission shall be composed of 
     twelve members, as follows:

     Senate, of whom one shall be a Member of the Senate and one 
     shall be appointed from private life.
       (4) Two members appointed by the Speaker of the House of 
     Representatives, of whom one shall be a Member of the House 
     and one shall be appointed from private life.

     its first meeting, an investigation into all matters in any 
     way related to any legislation, executive order, regulation, 
     practice, or procedure relating to classified information or 
     granting security clearances; and
       (2) to submit to the Congress a final report containing 
     such recommendations concerning the classification of 
     national security information and the granting of security 
     clearances as the Commission shall determine, including

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2333) to authorize 
     appropriations for the Department of State the United States 
     Information Agency, and related agencies, and for other 
     purposes, submit the following joint statement to the House 
     and the Senate in explanation of the effect of the action 
     agreed upon by the managers and recommended in the 
     accompanying conference report:
       The Senate amendment struck all of the House bill after the 
     enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
       The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of 
     the Senate with an amendment that is a substitute for the 
     House bill and the Senate amendment. The differences between 
     the House bill, the Senate amendment, and the substitute 
     agreed to in conference are noted below, except for clerical 
     corrections, conforming changes made necessary by agreements 
     reached by the conferees, and minor drafting and clerical 
     changes.

           Title I--Department of State and Related Agencies


                Part A--Authorization of Appropriations

       The House bill (secs. 101-107, 201) authorizes a total of 
     $7,266,514,000 for fiscal year 1994 and $7,589,829,000 for 
     fiscal year 1995, for the Department of State, AID, USIA and 
     BIB.
       The Senate amendment (secs. 101-105, 201, 816) authorizes a 
     total of $6,163,436,000 for fiscal year 1994 and 
     $6,382,057,000 for fiscal year 1995.
       The conference substitute (secs. 101-106, 201,) authorizes 
     a total of $6,051,936,000 for fiscal year 1994 and 
     $6,146,636,000 for fiscal year 1995. In addition, the 
     conference substitute authorizes $670,000,000 in fiscal year 
     1994 supplemental authorizations for assessed peacekeeping 
     arrearages, and $605,113,000 over two years for the Peace 
     Corps and Voluntary Peacekeeping Operations. The conference 
     substitute incorporates the following sub-authorizations:
       (1) $500,000 for each fiscal year for recruitment of 
     Hispanic Americans for careers in the Foreign Service.
       (2) $5 million for each fiscal year for environmental and 
     scientific grants, requested by the executive branch.
       (3) $16,500,000 for each fiscal year for language training.
       (4) $11,500,000 for fiscal year 1994 and $11,900,000 for 
     fiscal year 1995 for administrative expenses of the bureau 
     charged with carrying out refugee programs.
       (5) $95,904,000 and $114,825,000 for maintenance of 
     buildings and facility rehabilitation.
       (6) $700,000 for each fiscal year for the Commission on 
     Protecting and Reducing Government Secrecy.
       (7) $400,000 for each fiscal year for the Office of 
     Cambodian Genocide Investigation.
       (8) $940,000 for security costs associated with the Asian 
     Pacific Cooperation Conference in Seattle, Washington.
       (9) $1,000,000 for security costs associated with the 
     Western Hemisphere summit to be held in Miami, Florida.
       (10) $80 million for each fiscal year for refugees 
     resettling in Israel.
       (11) $1,000,000 for each fiscal year for the American 
     Studies Collections program.
       (12) $1.5 million for fiscal year 1994 and $2 million for 
     fiscal year 1995 for Environment and Sustainable Development 
     Exchange Programs.
       (13) $3 million for each fiscal year for the Vietnam 
     Scholarship Program.
       (14) $1.5 million for each fiscal year for Burmese 
     refugees.
       The conference substitute authorizes a total of 
     $223,858,000 for exchange programs. In general, the 
     conference substitute assumes the executive branch request, 
     but has added the following specific authorizations for 
     fiscal year 1995:
       (1) $646,000 above the request, to fully fund the Mansfield 
     Fellowship Program at a total of $896,000.
       (2) $250,000 above the request, to fund the American 
     Studies Collections program at a total of $1 million.
       (3) $500,000 above the request, to fully fund South Pacific 
     Exchanges at a total of $1 million.
       (4) $150,000 above the request, to fully fund Timorese 
     exchanges.
       (5) $500,000 above the request, to fully fund Cambodian 
     exchanges.
       The committee of conference notes that exchange 
     authorizations have been provided with a minimum of earmarks 
     and subauthorizations, so as to provide maximum flexibility. 
     The committee of conference expects that appropriations may 
     be made, or that USIA may reprogram funds as necessary to 
     continue funding for a number of worthwhile exchange programs 
     not specifically included in the executive branch request.
       The committee of conference notes that 1996 marks the 50th 
     anniversary of the Fulbright Academic exchange program and 
     that this program has been one of the U.S. Government's most 
     effective exchanges. The committee of conference encourages 
     USIA and the Fulbright Board to plan appropriate events for 
     the 50th anniversary in recognition of the exchange's 
     significant contribution to U.S. public diplomacy efforts.
       The committee of conference notes that the authorization of 
     $1.5 million each fiscal year for humanitarian assistance for 
     persons displaced by civil conflict in Burma is directed at 
     both those displaced within Burma and those person now 
     outside of Burma. Questions have been raised concerning the 
     existence of authority to provide assistance to refugees of 
     civil conflict within the territory of Burma as well as in 
     neighboring states. The committee of conference believes that 
     it is important for the United States government to support 
     ongoing humanitarian efforts aiding persons displaced by 
     civil conflict on both sides of the border. It further 
     believes that this language reflects the intention of earlier 
     Congresses as well, and therefore merely confirms existing 
     authority. United States assistance has been provided across 
     the border without incident in the past and with very 
     positive results. The committee of conference feels that such 
     assistance should be renewed.
       While the committee of conference could not justify the 
     allocation of scarce educational and cultural exchange 
     resources exclusively to events ancillary to the World Cup 
     soccer competition, they recognize that the competition can 
     offer opportunities to advance the public diplomacy goals of 
     the United States. The competition will bring 1.5 million 
     visitors from 23 countries to the United States in the summer 
     of 1994. Some of the ancillary programs to be conducted in 
     conjunction with venue communities, such as the Corcoran 
     Gallery Exhibition, may provide opportunities to foster 
     mutual understanding. Accordingly, the committee of 
     conference encourages USIA, to the extent that programs are 
     within USIA's mandate and within available resources, to 
     offer appropriate support.

     the House bill, the Senate amendment, and the conference 
     substitute:

\1\Proposed conference agreement corresponds to 1994 appropriated levels.                                       
\2\Conference Committee agreed to supplemental authorization. Appropriations have yet to be made.               

     Withholding of contributions
       The Senate amendment reduces the U.S. assessed contribution 
     to international organizations by the amounts of $118,875,000 
     for each of fiscal years 1994 and 1995 unless the President 
     certifies that no U.S. agency grants any official status, 
     accreditation, or recognition to any organization which 
     promotes, condones, or seeks the legalization of pedophilia.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 102) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.


                   Part B--Authorities and Activities

     Authorized strength of the Foreign Service
       The Senate amendment (sec. 111) imposes limits on the 
     number of members of the Foreign Service authorized to be 
     employed in fiscal years 1994 and 1995 as follows: for the 
     Department of State not more than 9,100 in fiscal years 1994 
     and 1995, of whom not more than 820 in fiscal year 1994 and 
     770 in fiscal year 1995 shall be members of the Senior 
     Foreign Service; and for the United States Information Agency 
     (USIA) not more than 1,200 in fiscal years 1994 and 1995, of 
     whom not more than 175 in fiscal year 1994 and 165 in fiscal 
     year 1995 shall be members of the Senior Foreign Service.
       The House bill (sec. 111) contains a similar provision but 
     includes limits for Agency for International Development 
     (AID) to not more than 1,850 members of the Foreign Service 
     in fiscal years 1994 and 1995, of whom not more than 250 in 
     fiscal year 1994 and 240 in fiscal year 1995 shall be members 
     of the Senior Foreign Service.
       The conference substitute (sec. 121) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment, but adds the personnel limits for 
     AID contained in the House bill. The committee of conference 
     notes that this provision was included pursuant to a 
     recommendation of the Commission on the Foreign Service 
     Personnel System (the ``Thomas Commission''), the 
     establishment of which was mandated by the Foreign Relations 
     Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989. This provision 
     was included in response to concerns of the committee of 
     conference about the excessive growth of the Senior Foreign 
     Service.
     Expenses relating to certain international claims and 
         proceedings
       The Senate amendment (sec. 114) provides for the 
     procurement of services of experts for use in preparing or 
     prosecuting a proceeding before an international tribunal or 
     a claim by or against a foreign government or other foreign 
     entity. The Senate amendment also establishes an 
     international litigation fund in order to provide the 
     Department with a dependable multi-year source of funding for 
     expenses related to such proceeding and claims.
       The House bill (sec. 113) is virtually identical but 
     contains technical differences.
       The conference substitute (sec. 123) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Requirement for authorization of appropriation for AID 
         operating expenses
       The House bill (sec. 121) amends the Foreign Assistance Act 
     of 1961 to add a new section 668 which prohibits the 
     obligation or expenditure of funds appropriated for the 
     agency primarily responsible for administering part I of the 
     Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 unless such funds are 
     appropriated pursuant to an authorization.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the Senate 
     position.
     Notification to Congress of proposed reprogrammings of AID 
         operating expenses
       The House bill (sec. 115) amends section 634A of the 
     Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to add a requirement that the 
     Congress be notified 15 days in advance of the reprogramming 
     of funds appropriated for operating expenses of the agency 
     responsible for administering part I of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act (relating to development assistance).
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the Senate 
     position.
     Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular Service
       The House bill (sec. 117) amends the State Department Basic 
     Authorities Act to require the Inspector General of the 
     Department of State to conduct periodic, rather than annual, 
     audits of the Department's emergency expenditures.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 116) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 125) is identical to the 
     House bill.
     Role of the National Foreign Affairs Training Center
       The Senate amendment (sec. 119) amends section 701 of the 
     Foreign Service Act of 1980 to authorize the Secretary of 
     State to provide special training programs for officials of 
     foreign governments on a reimbursable basis. The Senate 
     amendment also gives priority to training programs for 
     officials from newly emerging democratic nations.
       The House bill (sec. 118) is similar but does not 
     prioritize the provision of training programs.
       The conference substitute (sec. 126) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Consular authorities
       The House bill (sec. 120) updates certain references to 
     diplomatic and consular officers and allows the Secretary of 
     State to designate Department of State employees who are not 
     diplomatic or consular officers, but who are U.S. citizens, 
     to issue passports and perform notarial services.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 117) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 127) is identical to the 
     House bill.
     Report on consolidation of administrative operations
       The House bill (sec. 122) requires the Secretary of State, 
     jointly with the Director of USIA, the Director of the Arms 
     Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA) and the Administrator 
     of AID, to submit a report to Congress on the feasibility of 
     consolidating domestic administrative operations.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 120) is similar but does not 
     include ACDA.
       The conference substitute (sec. 128) is identical to the 
     House bill.
     Facilitating access to the Department of State
       The Senate amendment (sec. 186) requires the Office of 
     Diplomatic Security at the Department of State to establish 
     procedures to facilitate access to the Department of State by 
     Members of Congress and staff of the relevant committees of 
     jurisdiction, requires the Department to make available a 
     reasonable number of temporary parking permits to enable 
     Members of Congress and staff of the relevant committees of 
     jurisdiction to park near or within the Department of State 
     building when attending meetings, and defines the committees 
     of jurisdiction.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 129) requires the 
     Department of State to maintain procedures to ensure easy 
     access to the Department and make available adequate parking 
     in order to facilitate attendance of meetings at the 
     Department of State.
       The committee of conference notes that since the adoption 
     of the Senate amendment, the Department of State has 
     instituted procedures to issue Department of State 
     identification cards to Members and staff to allow them 
     basically unimpeded access. The committee of conference 
     commends the Department for this action.
     Budget justification for security costs
       The Senate amendment (sec. 191) requires the Secretary of 
     State to submit, at the time of the annual submission of the 
     budget of the United States, a detailed budget justification 
     on the cost of providing security domestically and 
     internationally for the Secretary of State.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Safety of U.S. personnel in Sarajevo
       The Senate amendment (sec. 729) contains congressional 
     findings regarding diplomatic relations with the Government 
     of Bosnia-Hercegovina and the need for an increased and more 
     secure U.S. diplomatic presence in Sarajevo, and expresses 
     the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of State should 
     immediately take steps to increase the presence of U.S. 
     diplomatic personnel in Sarajevo, consistent with the 
     objective of ensuring their physical safety. The Senate 
     amendment also requires the Secretary of State to report to 
     Congress within 30 days on steps taken to enhance the 
     security and safety of U.S. personnel in Sarajevo.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 130) requires the Secretary 
     of State to report to Congress within 30 days on steps taken 
     to enhance the security and physical safety of U.S. 
     diplomatic personnel in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Hercegovina.
       The committee of conference notes that the lack of any 
     secure permanent or semipermanent facilities for U.S. 
     diplomatic personnel serving in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Hercegovina 
     impedes their ability to carry out their diplomatic 
     functions. This situation has forced the U.S. Ambassador to 
     reside in, and carry out his duties from, another country. 
     The committee of conference believes that this situation is a 
     detriment to the conduct of diplomatic relations with the 
     Government of Bosnia-Hercegovina and should be rectified. The 
     committee of conference notes that the Department of State 
     has notified the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House 
     and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate of its 
     intention to open an embassy in Sarajevo.
     Repeal of obsolete reporting requirements
       The House bill (sec. 119) repeals an obsolete reporting 
     requirement on American prisoners abroad.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 188) eliminates 20 reporting 
     requirements which are obsolete or duplicative.
       The conference substitute (sec. 139) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but does not include two provisions from 
     the Senate amendment regarding the PLO Commitments Compliance 
     report and the status of secondment at the United Nations, 
     and repeals 7 additional reporting requirements requested by 
     the executive branch.
     Visas
       The Senate amendment (sec. 118) authorizes the Secretary of 
     State, notwithstanding any other provision of law, to charge 
     a fee or surcharge for processing machine readable 
     nonimmigrant visas and machine readable combined border 
     crossing identification cards and nonimmigrant visas. Fees 
     collected under this authority shall be deposited in the 
     general fund of the Treasury and available to the Department 
     of State, subject to amounts appropriated in advance, to 
     recover the costs of providing consular services. The Senate 
     amendment establishes a ceiling of $107.5 million for fiscal 
     years 1994 and 1995 for fees collected under this authority. 
     The Senate amendment exempts nationals of Canada and Mexico 
     from fees under this section. The Senate amendment also 
     requires the Department of State to implement an upgrade of 
     all overseas visa lookout operations to computerized systems 
     with automated multiple-name search capabilities within 24 
     months of enactment of this act. Finally, the Senate 
     amendment establishes disciplinary procedures for consular 
     officers who fail to follow lookout system procedures and 
     issue visas to persons who are included in the Department's 
     lookout system.
       The House bill (sec. 124) authorizes the Secretary of 
     State, notwithstanding any other provision of law, to charge 
     a fee or surcharge for processing machine readable 
     nonimmigrant visas and machine readable combined border 
     crossing identification cards and nonimmigrant visas. Fees 
     collected under this authority shall be deposited as an 
     offsetting collection to any Department of State 
     appropriation to recover the costs of providing consular 
     services. The House bill establishes a ceiling of $56 million 
     for fiscal years 1994 and 1995 for fees collected under this 
     authority. The House bill also requires the Department of 
     State to implement an upgrade of all overseas visa lookout 
     operations to computerized systems with automated multiple-
     name search capabilities within 18 months of enactment of 
     this act. Finally, the House bill establishes disciplinary 
     procedures for consular officers who fail to follow lookout 
     system procedures and issue visas to persons who are included 
     in the Department's lookout system.
       The conference substitute (sec. 140) authorizes the 
     Secretary of State, notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, to charge a fee or surcharge for processing machine 
     readable nonimmigrant visas and machine readable combined 
     border crossing identification cards and nonimmigrant visas 
     in fiscal years 1994 and 1995. Fees collected under this 
     authority shall be deposited as an offsetting collection to 
     any Department of State appropriation to recover the costs of 
     providing consular services. The conference substitute 
     establishes a ceiling of $107.5 million for fiscal years 1994 
     and 1995 for fees collected under this authority. Citizens of 
     Mexico and Canada are exempt from fees for fiscal years 1994 
     and 1995, provided that those countries similarly exempt 
     citizens of the United States. In addition, the conference 
     substitute requires that the Department of State's 
     Consolidated Immigrant Visa Processing Center have on-line 
     access without payment to the Interstate Identification Index 
     (III) solely for the purpose of determining whether a visa 
     applicant has a criminal history record indexed in the III. 
     The conference substitute also requires the Department of 
     State to implement an upgrade of all overseas visa lookout 
     operations to computerized systems with automated multiple-
     name search capabilities within 18 months of enactment of 
     this act. Finally, the conference substitute establishes 
     disciplinary procedures for consular officers who fail to 
     follow lookout system procedures and issue visas to persons 
     who are included in the Department's lookout system.
       The committee of conference emphasizes that the purpose of 
     this fee retention authority is to provide enhanced consular 
     services and equipment upgrades above and beyond current base 
     consular services and modernization programs. This new 
     authority is not intended to permit any of the current 
     consular base funding to be transferred to any other purpose.
     Local guard contracts abroad
       The House bill (sec. 123) amends section 136(c) of the 
     Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 
     1991 to require the Secretary of State, with respect to 
     contracts for local guard services abroad which exceed 
     $250,000, to award such contracts through competitive bidding 
     and, in evaluating and scoring proposals for such contracts, 
     award not less than 60 percent of the total points on the 
     basis of technical capacity.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 121) is similar, but adds three 
     additional requirements. The Senate amendment requires the 
     Secretary of State to allow all solicitations to be bid in 
     U.S. dollars, ensure that contracts awarded to U.S. firms are 
     paid in U.S. dollars, and ensure the U.S. diplomatic and 
     consular posts assist U.S. firms in obtaining local licenses 
     and permits.
       The conference substitute (sec. 141) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but makes technical and clarifying changes.
     Passport security
       The Senate amendment (sec. 737) expresses the sense of the 
     Congress that the Department of State should ensure that new 
     passport issuances are secure against counterfeiting, are 
     easily verifiable with appropriate inspection, and contain 
     only American-sourced material and technology. The Senate 
     amendment also requires a report within 30 days on actions 
     taken to achieve these goals.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 131) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment but changes the reporting date to 90 
     days after enactment.
     Record of place of birth
       The Senate amendment (sec. 187) requires the Secretary of 
     State to permit the place of birth of U.S. citizens born in 
     Taiwan to be recorded as such for birth certificates or 
     certifications of nationality.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 132) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Consular and diplomatic posts abroad
       The House bill (sec. 125) deletes the requirement for 
     reprogramming notifications for amounts made available to pay 
     any expense related to the closing of a diplomatic or 
     consular post abroad.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the Senate 
     position.
     Terrorism rewards and reports
       The House bill (sec. 126) requires that the annual 
     Department of State report on terrorism submitted pursuant to 
     section 140 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, 
     Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989, include information on the 
     efforts by the United States to eliminate international 
     financial support provided to terrorist groups directly or in 
     support of their activities. The House bill (sec. 189) also 
     requires the Secretary of the Treasury, in compiling the 
     annual report on terrorist assets in the United States 
     submitted pursuant to section 304 of the Foreign Relations 
     Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993, to consult 
     with the Attorney General and other appropriate law 
     enforcement officials, and requires a detailed list and 
     description of specific assets.
       The Senate amendment (secs. 122 and 184) requires that the 
     annual Department of State report on terrorism include 
     information on the efforts by the United States to eliminate 
     international financial support provided to terrorist groups 
     directly or in support of their activities and on the nature 
     and extent of assets held in the United States on behalf of 
     countries on the terrorist list and groups involved in acts 
     of terrorism in the preceding year. The Senate amendment also 
     requires the Secretary of State to consult with the Attorney 
     General and other appropriate law enforcement agencies in 
     compiling the report.
       The conference substitute (sec. 133) combines and modifies 
     the House bill and Senate amendment. The conference 
     substitute requires that: (1) the annual Department of State 
     report on terrorism include information on the efforts by the 
     United States to eliminate international financial support 
     provided to terrorist groups directly or in support of their 
     activities; and (2) the Secretary of the Treasury consult 
     with the Attorney General and other appropriate law 
     enforcement agencies in compiling the annual report on 
     terrorist assets in the United States and to include specific 
     information of such assets. The conference substitute also 
     amends section 36 of the State Department Basic Authorities 
     Act of 1956 to eliminate the requirement that rewards be paid 
     only for information on acts of international terrorism which 
     occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the 
     United States. Finally, the conference substitute allows the 
     Department of State to use up to $4 million in funds 
     earmarked for narcotics rewards under section 36(g) of the 
     State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 to pay 
     terrorism rewards in fiscal years 1994 and 1995.
       The committee of conference notes that the change to the 
     terrorism rewards program is intended to resolve a situation 
     that arose as a result of the World Trade Center bombing in 
     February 1993. The Department of State, because of the 
     restriction on paying rewards only for acts occurring 
     primarily outside the United States, interpreted section 
     36(a) as prohibiting the offer of a reward for information on 
     the two suspects that evaded capture in the bombing. The 
     Department of Justice which maintains a rewards program for 
     acts occurring within the boundaries of the United States 
     claimed that it was unable to offer a reward due to the lack 
     of adequate funding in its reward fund. The committee of 
     conference, however, does not intend that the Department of 
     State reward program become merely a supplement to the 
     Department of Justice's domestic reward program. The 
     committee of conference intends that the Department of State 
     continue to use this program primarily for its original 
     purposes. The committee of conference expects that rewards 
     for information on acts of terrorism in the United States 
     which may be paid from the Department of State's rewards fund 
     be those which transcend national boundaries in terms of the 
     means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear 
     intended to coerce or intimidate, or the locale in which 
     their perpetrators operate or seek asylum, as was the case in 
     the World Trade Center bombing.
       The committee of conference also notes that the ability to 
     use funds earmarked for narcotics purposes for making 
     terrorism rewards was requested by the executive branch. This 
     request was necessitated by the expectation that rewards will 
     be paid in connection with the World Trade Center bombing 
     during that time period. The committee of conference notes 
     that this exception to the earmark is intended to be a one-
     time exception. The committee urges the Department of State 
     to review ways to make additional funds available for both 
     terrorism and narcotics information rewards, including the 
     use of extrabudgetary funds. The committee of conference 
     notes that other agencies use such mechanisms as the 
     Department of Justice's Special Asset Forfeiture Fund for 
     funding of information needs. The committee of conference 
     expects the Department of State to develop and submit 
     proposals to adequately fund information rewards before it 
     submits its fiscal year 1996 budget request.
     Coordination of counterterrorism activity
       The Senate amendment (sec. 185) urges the Secretary of 
     State to take steps to ensure coordination of 
     counterterrorism activities occupies a high priority within 
     the Department of State.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Property agreements
       The Senate amendment (sec. 124) requires the Department of 
     State to account for lease-purchase agreements involving 
     property in foreign countries in accordance with fiscal year 
     obligations.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 134) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
       This provision encourages OMB to review its implementation 
     of rule 11 so that it does not apply to lease-purchase 
     agreements entered into by the Department of State abroad.
       The committee of conference believes that the Department 
     must take advantage, in lean budget times, of favorable 
     purchasing environments overseas which are not likely to be 
     available in the future. This is especially the case in the 
     Newly Independent States where the Department is working to 
     establish a presence in new countries where the United States 
     was not previously represented. This is a limited provision 
     aimed only at contracts entered into abroad by the Department 
     of State. It will enable the Department to use lease-purchase 
     agreements to purchase property overseas and contain the cost 
     growth of our diplomatic presence abroad. The committee of 
     conference expects that this authority will result in $20 
     million in budget savings over the next ten years, with 
     higher savings accruing in later years as the percentage of 
     government-owed properties increases. After twenty years the 
     Department could expect to avoid annual costs on the order of 
     $50 million per year.
     Capital investment fund
       The Senate amendment (sec. 125) establishes within the 
     Department of State a Capital Investment Fund to provide for 
     the procurement of information technology and other related 
     capital investments to ensure the efficient management, 
     coordination, operation and utilization of such resources. 
     Funds credited to the Capital Investment Fund shall be 
     treated as reprogramming and may not be available for 
     obligation or expenditure except in compliance with 
     procedures applicable to reprogrammings.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 135) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
       The committee of conference notes that this authority 
     should be used as a tool to acquire and maintain leading-edge 
     information technology resources. This authority is not 
     intended to be used for capital improvement projects 
     ordinarily funded out of the appropriation for acquisition 
     and maintenance of foreign buildings.
     Technical amendment
       The Senate amendment (sec. 126) corrects an error in 
     section numbering in section 2 of the State Department Basic 
     Authorities Act caused by an amendment made in 1992.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 162(k)(4)) is identical to 
     the Senate amendment.
     Fees for commercial services
       The Senate amendment (sec. 741) allows the Secretary of 
     State to charge fees for actual or estimated costs of 
     commercial services at posts abroad where the Department of 
     Commerce does not perform commercial services for which it 
     charges fees. The Senate amendment requires that such fees be 
     deposited as an offsetting collection to any Department of 
     State appropriation to recover the costs of providing 
     commercial services.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 136) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Personal services contracts abroad
       The Senate amendment (sec. 742) exempts, where necessary, 
     contracts for personal services abroad from statutory 
     contracting provisions applicable in the United States.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 137) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Publishing international agreements
       The House bill (sec. 182) allows the Secretary of State to 
     determine that publication of certain categories of 
     international agreements is not required if: such agreements 
     are not treaties subject to the advice and consent of the 
     Senate; the public interest in such agreements is 
     insufficient to justify their publication because the 
     agreements are no longer in force, do not create private 
     rights, or duties or establish standards to govern government 
     actions in the treatment of private individuals; public 
     interest can adequately be satisfied by an alternative means; 
     or the public disclosure of the text of the agreement would 
     in the opinion of the President be prejudicial to the 
     national security of the United States. The House bill also 
     requires that copies of agreements which are not published 
     will be made available by the Department of State upon 
     request.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 738) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 138) identical to the House 
     bill.
       The committee of conference notes that this section is 
     intended to lighten the Secretary of State's burden and 
     reduce the cost of printing certain international agreements. 
     It is not intended, however, to shift the burden of making 
     such agreements available to the public to individual members 
     or committees of Congress. In fact, the committee of 
     conference expects the Secretary of State to facilitate 
     access to international agreements as necessary to further 
     academic and scholarly research. Access to copies of 
     international agreements exempted from the printing 
     requirement by this section shall, of course, continue to be 
     available to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate upon request. The committee of conference expects the 
     executive branch to provide the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
     of the House and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate with lists of those international agreements which the 
     Secretary has exempted from the printing requirement.


                Part C--Department of State Organization

       The House bill, in general, removes all organizational 
     constraints from permanent law and permits the Secretary of 
     State to organize the Department as deemed necessary. The 
     Senate amendment, in general, amends permanent law only to 
     the extent needed to implement the organizational changes 
     already proposed by the Executive branch.
       The conference substitute basically adopts the House 
     construction. This provides a flexibility designed to allow 
     the Department to respond organizationally to rapid changes 
     in international relations without having to obtain 
     legislation to do so. The committee of conference expects 
     that this flexibility will be used not only to create new 
     positions, bureaus and offices, but to abolish obsolete ones. 
     The committee of conference notes that the Secretary's 
     announced reorganization of last year was described at the 
     time as a first step in an ongoing process, and intends that 
     the flexibility provided by this Act permit further 
     organizational change with a minimum of legislation.
     Organizing principles
       The House bill (sec. 131) contains congressional findings 
     regarding the organization of the Department of State.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the Senate 
     position. The committee of conference notes that the 
     organization of the Department of State should reflect, to 
     the maximum extent possible, the primary responsibility of 
     the Secretary of State under the President to conduct U.S. 
     foreign relations. The committee of conference also notes 
     that, unless compelling considerations so require, statutory 
     authorities should be vested in the Secretary of State, 
     rather than in officials subordinate to the Secretary.
     Organization of the Department of State
       The House bill (sec. 132(a)) amends section 1 of the State 
     Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 as follows:
       New section 1(a) requires that the Department of State be 
     administered in accordance with the State Department Basic 
     Authorities Act and other provisions of law under the 
     supervision of the Secretary of State. The Secretary shall be 
     appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of 
     the Senate. New section 1(a) also provides that 
     notwithstanding any other provision of law and except as 
     provided elsewhere in this act, the Secretary shall have and 
     exercise any authority vested by law in any office or 
     official of the Department of State. The Secretary shall 
     administer, coordinate, and direct the Foreign Service of the 
     United States and the personnel of the Department of State. 
     The Secretary shall not have the authority of the Inspector 
     General, the Chief Financial Officer, or any authority given 
     expressly to diplomatic or consular officers. New section 
     1(a) also authorizes the Secretary of State to promulgate 
     such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out 
     the functions of the Secretary and the Department and allows 
     the Secretary to delegate authority, including the authority 
     to redelegate such functions, to perform any of the functions 
     of the Secretary or the Department to officers or employees 
     under the direction or supervision of the Secretary.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 161) is virtually identical 
     to the House bill, but specifies that the Secretary may 
     delegate authorities unless otherwise specified in law.
       New section 1(b) limits the number of Undersecretaries of 
     State to 5, who shall be appointed with the advice and 
     consent of the Senate.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 131(a)) is similar.
       The conference substitute (sec. 161) is identical to the 
     House bill.
       New section 1(c) limits the number of Assistant Secretaries 
     of State to 21, who shall be appointed with the advice and 
     consent of the Senate.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 131(a)) limits the number of 
     Assistant Secretaries of State to 20.
       The conference substitute (sec. 161) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
       The committee of conference notes that the conference 
     substitute authorizes the establishment of a total of up to 
     20 Assistant Secretary positions, but requires the 
     maintenance of only three such positions, all of which are 
     already required to exist under current law. The conference 
     substitute would permit a net increase of two Assistant 
     Secretary positions over the Department of State's existing 
     total.
       The committee of conference acknowledges that the 
     authorized total of 20 is four less than the executive 
     branch's original request. The committee of conference notes, 
     however, that the Senate was sharply divided even on the 
     agreed increase of two, which survived a Senate floor 
     amendment to freeze the number at the current 18 positions by 
     only one vote. The committee of conference encourages the 
     Department to examine whether, given current budget 
     constraints, it is imperative to fully utilize the authorized 
     total of 20 positions. As an alternative, the committee of 
     conference urges the Department to examine the possibility of 
     employing the new flexibility permitted by the conference 
     substitute to abolish one or more Assistant Secretary 
     positions in order to permit the creation of new ones.
       The committee of conference further notes widespread 
     agreement with the proposal by the Department to use one of 
     the additional authorized positions to create an Assistant 
     Secretary for Population, Refugees and Migration. Beyond 
     this, however, the committee of conference understands that 
     the Department is planning to use the increased authority 
     provided by this bill to propose the establishment of 
     Assistant Secretaries both for Non-Proliferation and for the 
     Newly Independent States.
       Regarding the former proposal, the committee of conference 
     is concerned that the new bureau's responsibilities may 
     create duplication and overlap with the responsibilities 
     envisaged for the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency under 
     Title VII. The committee of conference further notes that a 
     number of questions have been raised about the specifics of 
     the planned division of the current Bureau of Political-
     Military Affairs which would be necessary to create the new 
     bureau.
       Regarding the latter proposal, the committee of conference 
     agrees that the responsibilities of the existing Bureau of 
     European and Canadian Affairs are too broad. The committee 
     questions, however, whether appropriate alternative solutions 
     to this problem, such as the transfer of responsibility for 
     Canada to the Bureau of Inter-American Affairs or for Central 
     Asia to the Bureau of South Asian Affairs, have been fully 
     examined. The committee of conference notes that the deletion 
     of references to specific countries from the existing statute 
     governing the Bureau of South Asian Affairs, for example, is 
     designed to permit consideration of one such alternative.
       The committee of conference notes that such organizational 
     changes will in any case be subject to the requirements and 
     limitations of section 34 of the Basic Authorities Act of 
     1956, and urges the Department to consult with its 
     authorizing committees before arriving at final 
     determinations and submitting required notifications.
       New section 1(d) limits the number of Deputy Assistant 
     Secretaries of State to 66.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 161) is identical to the 
     House bill.
       New section 1(e) provides that in addition to other 
     officials authorized to be appointed by the President, with 
     the advice and consent of the Senate, and to be compensated 
     at Executive Level IV, 4 other officers of the Department of 
     State are authorized for similar appointments.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 131(b)) is similar.
       The conference substitute (sec. 161) is similar to the 
     House bill, but makes technical and conforming changes.
       The committee of the conference wishes to clarify that 
     these are not intended to be four additional positions. The 
     committee understands that currently the Department intends 
     to use this authorization for the Director of the Office of 
     Foreign Missions, the Chief of Protocol, the Legal Advisor 
     and the newly-downgraded Counselor position.
       The House bill (sec. 132(b)) provides that the amendments 
     made by this section shall apply with respect to officials, 
     offices, and bureaus of the Department of State when 
     executive orders, regulations or departmental directives 
     implementing such section become effective.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 161(c)) is similar to the 
     House bill but makes technical and conforming corrections.
       The House bill (sec. 132(c)) provides that any officer of 
     the Department of State holding office on the date of 
     enactment of this act shall not be required to be reappointed 
     to any other office at the Department at the same level 
     performing similar functions, as determined by the President, 
     by reason of the enactment of the amendments made under by 
     this section.
       The Senate amendment (secs. 131(e), 132(c), and 133(b)) 
     contains similar provisions for specific positions within the 
     Department of State.
       The conference substitute (sec. 161) is identical to the 
     House bill.
       The House bill (sec. 132(d)) provides that a reference in 
     any other provision of law to an official or office of the 
     Department of State affected by the amendment made by this 
     section shall be deemed to be a reference to the Secretary of 
     State or the Department of State as may be appropriate.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 161) is identical to the 
     House bill.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 135) amends section 35 of the 
     State Department Basic Authorities Act to delete the 
     statutory requirement for the establishment within the 
     Department of an Office of the Coordinator for International 
     Communications and Information Policy, and redefines the role 
     of the Secretary of State in the conducting of foreign policy 
     with respect to telecommunications functions. The Senate 
     amendment also provides that nothing in the amendments made 
     by this section shall affect the nature or scope of the 
     authority, that is on the date of enactment, vested by law or 
     executive order in the Department of Commerce, the Office of 
     the United States Trade Representative, the Federal 
     Communications Commission, or any officer thereof.
       The House bill (sec. 132(e) and 133(l)) is similar and 
     provides that nothing in this section reassigns any function 
     that is, on the date of enactment of this act, vested by law 
     or executive order in the Department of Commerce, the Federal 
     Communications Commission, or any officer thereof.
       The conference substitute (sec. 161) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
       The committee of conference notes that this section is 
     intended to codify the authority of the Department of State 
     set forth in Executive Order 12046, in particular section 5-
     201, with respect to the telecommunications functions 
     transferred among executive branch agencies by that executive 
     order. As the conference substitute specifies, nothing in 
     this section affects the nature or scope of the authority 
     vested by law or executive order in other executive branch 
     agencies, such as the authority provided in the Omnibus Trade 
     and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-418) or in 
     the NTIA Organization Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-538). The 
     committee of conference notes that, to demonstrate fully that 
     the telecommunications function at the Department of State is 
     not being downgraded by the reorganization of the Department, 
     once this legislation is enacted, the person filling the 
     position of Coordinator will be appointed to the rank of 
     Ambassador, with the advice and consent of the Senate.
     Technical and conforming amendments
       The House bill (sec. 133(a)) repeals the Act of May 26, 
     1949 which established the authority of the Secretary of 
     State and the organization of the Department.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 162) is identical to the 
     House bill.
       The House bill (sec. 133(b)) amends section 115 of the

     International Narcotics Matters at the Department of State.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 162) is identical to the 
     House bill. The committee of conference notes that the 
     Department of State has communicated its intent to retain a 
     Bureau with one of its primary focuses on international 
     narcotics matters. The committee of conference also notes 
     that this Bureau will have responsibility for international 
     crime matters.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 131(c)(1)) makes a technical 
     amendment to section 9 of Public Law 93-126 to remove a 
     reference to the Act of May 6, 1949, which is repealed by 
     this act.
       The House bill (sec. 133(c)) amends section 9 of Public Law 
     93-126 to repeal the statutory requirement for the Bureau of 
     Oceans and Environment at the Department of State.
       The conference substitute (sec. 162) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
       The House bill (sec. 133(d)) amends section 122 of the

     1993 to repeal the statutory requirement for the Bureau of 
     South Asian Affairs.

       The conference substitute (sec. 162) amends section 122 of 
     the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1992 
     and 1993 to delete references to the specific countries for 
     which the Bureau of South Asia is responsible.
       The House bill (sec. 133(e)) makes conforming amendments to 
     sections 5314 and 5315 of title 5 of the United States Code 
     to reflect other amendments made by this act regarding the 
     organization of the Department of State.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 131(c)(3)) is similar.
       The conference substitute (sec. 162) is virtually identical 
     to the House bill but makes a technical correction and 
     changes the number of Assistant Secretaries eligible to be 
     paid at executive level IV to 20.
       The House bill (sec. 133(f)) amends the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961 to delete references to the Assistant Secretary 
     for Human Rights and repeals the statutory requirement for 
     the Bureau of Human Rights.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 132) amends the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961 to change references to the Assistant

     Department of State a Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and 
     Labor, to be headed by an Assistant Secretary. The conference 
     substitute also repeals section 624(f) of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act.
       The House bill (sec. 133(g)) amends section 5(d)(1) of the 
     Arms Export Control Act to replace a reference to the 
     Assistant Secretary for Human Rights to a reference to the 
     Secretary of State.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 132(b)) is similar.
       The conference substitute (sec. 162) is identical to the 
     House bill.
       The House bill (sec. 133(h)) amends the Omnibus Diplomatic 
     Security Act of 1986 to delete the statutory requirement for 
     a Bureau of Diplomatic Security at the Department of State 
     and to make other technical and conforming changes. The House 
     bill also delineates the security responsibilities of the 
     Secretary of State.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 162) is identical to the 
     House bill.
       The House bill (secs. 133(i)) makes technical and 
     conforming amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act 
     and the Refugee Act of 1980 and deletes references to the 
     Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs.

       The conference substitute is the same as the House bill, 
     but adds a requirement that the Secretary of State establish 
     an Ambassadorial-rank Deputy Assistant Secretary position for 
     Burdensharing.
       The committee of conference believes the Ambassador for 
     Burdensharing will play a critical role in ensuring that U.S. 
     allies will pay a more equitable share of the costs of 
     maintaining United States bases overseas and provide the 
     United States with residual value payments as we turn 
     military facilities over to host nations. The Committee of 
     Conference urges the President to submit the nomination of 
     the Ambassador for Burdensharing in sufficient time to permit 
     confirmation before adjournment sine die of the 103rd 
     Congress.
       The House bill (secs. 133(m) and (n)) amends the Refugee 
     Act of 1980 and the Immigration and Nationality Act to delete 
     references to the Coordinator for Refugee Affairs and makes 
     other technical and conforming amendments.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 136) is similar, but includes 
     guidelines for the coordination of overall U.S. refugee 
     assistance policy.
       The conference substitute (sec. 162) is identical to the 
     House bill.
       The House bill (sec. 133(o)) amends the State Department 
     Basic Authorities Act to delete the statutory requirement for

     with respect to foreign missions.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 162) is virtually identical 
     to the House bill but makes technical and clarifying changes.
     Director General of the Foreign Service
       The House bill (sec. 134) amends the Foreign Service Act of 
     1980 to make the appointment of a Director General of the 
     Foreign Service discretionary.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 163) requires that the 
     Secretary appoint a Director General and that the Director 
     General be a current or former career member of the Foreign 
     Service.
     Administrative expenses
       The Senate amendment (secs. 134) amends section 482 of the 
     Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to allow personnel funded with 
     international narcotics control assistance to provide 
     administrative support to personnel assigned by the Secretary 
     to the Bureau to replace the Bureau of International 
     Narcotics Matters, except where to do so would result in a 
     reduction of funds available for antinarcotics assistance to 
     foreign countries. The Senate amendment (sec. 136(c)) also 
     allows personnel funded with refugee and migration assistance 
     authorized to carry out the purposes of the Migration and 
     Refugee Assistance Act to provide administrative assistance 
     to personnel assigned to the bureau charged with carrying out 
     the act.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 164) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Office of Counterterrorism
       The House bill (sec. 132(f)) requires the Department of 
     State to maintain a separate Office of Counterterrorism, to 
     be headed by a Coordinator, which shall have the same 
     responsibilities and functions as the Office of the 
     Coordinator for Counterterrorism had on January 20, 1993.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 762) establishes within the 
     Department of State a Coordinator for Counterterrorism who 
     shall be appointed by the President, who shall have the rank 
     and status of an Assistant Secretary. The Senate amendment 
     also expresses the sense of the Senate that there shall be in 
     the Department a Deputy Assistant Secretary with the rank of 
     Ambassador whose sole responsibility shall be the day-to-day 
     management of counterterrorism activities at the Department 
     of State.
       The conference substitute (sec. 161) requires the 
     Department of State to maintain a separate Office of 
     Counterterrorism, to be headed by a Coordinator, which shall 
     have the same responsibilities and functions as the Office of 
     the Coordinator for Counterterrorism had on January 20, 1993. 
     The requirement of this section shall cease to have effect 
     one year after the date of enactment of this act.


                           Part D--Personnel

     Labor-Management relations
       The House bill (sec. 141) prohibits management officials or 
     confidential employees of the Department of State, or any 
     individual who has served in such a capacity in the preceding 
     two years, from participating in the management of a labor 
     organization for purposes of collective bargaining or acting 
     as a representative of a labor organization for such purpose. 
     The House bill also prohibits individuals who have 
     participated in the management of a labor organization in the 
     previous two years from serving as a management official or 
     confidential employee of the Department. The House bill 
     exempts chiefs of mission, principal officers, and their 
     deputies, as well as administrative and personnel officers 
     abroad from this prohibition.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 141) contains a similar 
     provision, but does not include the prohibition on labor 
     organization management from serving as a management official 
     or confidential employee of the Department.
       The conference substitute (sec. 171) is virtually identical 
     to the House bill but makes a technical correction.
     Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program
       The House bill (sec. 142) authorizes the Secretary of 
     State, the Administrator of AID, and the Director of USIA to 
     establish and administer for fiscal years 1994 and 1995 a 
     program to provide financial incentives for retirement of 
     members of the Foreign Service who are eligible for 
     retirement. No more than $25,000 may be paid as such an 
     incentive to any eligible individual. The House bill also 
     requires the Secretary of State to ensure that the total cost 
     of the incentives does not exceed the total that the 
     Department would have incurred for pay and personnel 
     benefits.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the Senate 
     position. The committee of conference notes that a 
     Government-wide bill providing for retirement incentives has 
     been enacted since the adoption of the House provision.
     Waiver of limit for certain claims for personal property 
         damage or loss
       The Senate amendment (sec. 142) allows the Secretary of 
     State to waive the $40,000 limitation for payment of claims 
     arising on or before October 31, 1988 for damage or loss by 
     U.S. Government personnel in countries in which an emergency 
     evacuation order is in effect.
       The House bill (sec. 143) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 172) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment.
     Salaries of chiefs of mission
       The House bill (sec. 144) limits the aggregate pay of 
     chiefs of mission so that personnel in such positions are 
     subject to the same aggregate pay limitation as other members 
     of the Senior Foreign Service and most other Federal 
     employees.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 143) is similar, but does not 
     make the treatment of salaries of chiefs of mission 
     consistent with other Federal employees.
       The conference substitute does not include either 
     provision. Rollover restrictions for Chiefs of Mission in 
     current law remain in place. The committee of conference 
     notes that the executive branch requested the provision 
     included in the House bill. However, since the time of the 
     adoption of this provision, several questions have been 
     raised about the effect of the provision. The committee of 
     conference has decided to defer this issue until a more in-
     depth examination of pay-related issues can be conducted.
     Senior Foreign Service performance pay
       The Senate amendment (sec. 144) prohibits the Secretary of 
     State from making awards or paying performance pay during 
     fiscal years 1994 and 1995 until the Director of the Office 
     of Personnel Management has authorized that such performance 
     or rank awards be made to other Federal workers and prohibits 
     the Secretary of State from rolling over such prohibited 
     awards to a subsequent fiscal year. The Senate amendment also 
     amends the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to make the award of 
     performance pay for Senior Foreign Service members subject to 
     the same limits and procedures as apply to members of the 
     Senior Executive Service.
       The House bill (sec. 145) contains a similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 173) prohibits the 
     Secretary of State, the Director of USIA, the Administrator 
     of the Agency for International Development and the Director 
     of ACDA from awarding or paying performance awards to members 
     of the Senior Foreign Service in fiscal years 1994 and 1995 
     unless such awards are made to Senior Executive Service 
     employees for such fiscal years.
     Reassignment and retirement of former presidential employees
       The House bill (sec. 146) requires that members of the 
     Foreign Service who complete assignments in positions to 
     which they were appointed by the President and who are not 
     otherwise eligible for retirement must be reassigned within 
     90 days after the termination of such assignment and any 
     period of authorized leave. If such person is eligible for 
     retirement and not reassigned within 90 days after the 
     termination of such assignment and any period of authorized 
     leave, such person shall be retired from the Service and 
     receive retirement benefits in accordance with sections 806 
     or 855 of the Foreign Service Act, as appropriate.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 145) is similar.
       The conference substitute (sec. 174) generally follows the 
     House construction, but adds provisions restricting 
     retirement benefits to employees separated under this section 
     who return to government.
     Report on classification of senior foreign service positions
       The Senate amendment (sec. 146) requires the Comptroller 
     General of the United States to conduct a classification 
     audit of all Senior Foreign Service positions in Washington, 
     D.C., assigned to the Department of State, USIA, and AID not 
     later than 180 days after enactment of this act.
       The House bill (sec. 147) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 175) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment, but requires the report to be 
     submitted not later than December 31, 1994.
     Limitation on number of limited career extensions
       The House bill (sec. 148) requires that, effective 
     September 30, 1995, the number of members of the Senior 
     Foreign Service serving under limited career extensions may 
     not exceed 25 percent of the total number of members of the 
     Foreign Service who are eligible to serve under a limited 
     extension.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the Senate 
     position.
     Amendments to Title 5 U.S.C.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 147) provides an allowance for 
     dependents of Foreign Service employees who are elementary 
     and secondary school students attending boarding school to 
     travel to meet a relative or family friend or to join their 
     parents at any location when travel to the post at which the 
     parents serve is unfeasible. Such allowance may not exceed 
     the travel costs between the dependent's school in the United 
     States and the post where the parents are assigned. The 
     Senate amendment also extends the same allowance as is 
     currently provided to students at U.S. institutions to 
     dependents studying for less than one year at a post-
     secondary institution abroad under a program approved by the 
     school in the United States at which the dependent is 
     enrolled and limits allowable travel expenses to the cost of 
     travel to and from the school in the United States.
       The House bill (sec. 149) is similar but does not contain 
     the limitation on allowable travel expenses for dependents 
     studying abroad.
       The conference substitute (sec. 176) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Amendments to chapter 11 of the Foreign Service Act
       The Senate amendment (sec. 149) places a one-year limit on 
     the period of enjoyment of interim relief from the Foreign 
     Service Grievance Board, unless the Board or the Department 
     of State are responsible for the delay in resolution of the 
     grievance. If the Board determines that the delay is due to 
     the complexity of the case, the unavailability of witnesses, 
     or to circumstances beyond the control of the Department, the 
     Board, or the grievant, the Board may extend the one-year 
     limit. The Senate amendment also requires filing of judicial 
     review of Foreign Service Grievance Board decisions within 
     180 days of final action by the Board, or in the case of 
     employees at posts abroad, within 180 days after the 
     employee's return to the United States.
       The House bill (sec. 150) is similar but does not allow the 
     Board to extend the one-year limit.
       The conference substitute (sec. 177) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Inapplicability of rollover authority
       The Senate amendment (sec. 148) excludes Department of 
     State employees from the application of the provisions of 
     title 5 of the United States Code which relate to the ability 
     to carryover from year to year certain allowances.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the House position. The 
     committee of conference notes that this provision, along with 
     section 144 of the House bill and section 143 of the Senate 
     amendment, raise issues which the committee of conference 
     believes need to be reviewed more closely.
     Women and minority placement
       The Senate amendment (sec. 150) directs the Secretary of 
     State to appoint, to the maximum extent practicable, women 
     and minority applicants to the Foreign Service who are 
     participants in previously established mid-level placement 
     programs of other defense and national security-related 
     agencies that have been impacted by downsizing. The Senate 
     amendment also requires a report not later than 180 days 
     after enactment on the implementation of this program.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 178) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment, but makes a technical clarification.
     Employment assistance referral system
       The Senate amendment (sec. 151) requires the Secretary of 
     State to establish an employment referral program for 
     employees who are separated because of a reduction in force 
     action at the Department of State.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 179) allows members of the 
     Foreign Service who hold career or career candidate 
     appointments to participate in the Office of Personnel 
     Management's Interagency Placement Program or any successor 
     program. Such members of the Foreign Service shall be treated 
     in the same manner and to the same extent as those employees 
     participating in such a program as of the effective date of 
     this act.
     U.S. citizens hired abroad
       The Senate amendment (sec. 747) allows the Secretary of 
     State greater flexibility in hiring U.S. citizens, 
     particularly family members of U.S. Government employees, at 
     embassies and consulates abroad.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 180) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment, but does not include a provision 
     allowing the Secretary of State to prescribe the conditions 
     under which to make U.S. family members eligible to 
     participate in the Federal Employees Retirement System 
     (FERS).
       The committee of conference recognizes the contributions 
     that private U.S. citizens living and working abroad make to 
     the promotion and protection of the interests of the United 
     States throughout the world, and in particular, their vital 
     role in making the United States more competitive in the 
     world economy. To ensure that everything possible is being 
     done to enable American citizens abroad to compete on a most 
     favored competitor basis, the committee of conference urges 
     the Department of State to undertake, in cooperation with 
     other relevant Departments of the U.S. Government and with 
     the active participation of the overseas American community, 
     a review of U.S. laws and regulations that may impede the 
     ability of American citizens abroad to compete in world 
     markets with citizens of other nations on a level playing 
     field. The committee of conference further believes that a 
     process should be established so that American citizens 
     abroad can contribute their ideas and suggestions for 
     improving the promotion and protection of the interests of 
     the United States throughout the world. The committee of 
     conference urges the Department of State to, consistent with 
     available personnel and resources, consult American citizens 
     abroad at embassy and consulate locations.
     Reductions in force
       The Senate amendment (sec. 229) allows the Secretary of 
     State to conduct reductions in force and to prescribe 
     regulations for the separation of members of the Foreign 
     Service under such reductions in force.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 181) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but makes technical and conforming changes. 
     The committee of conference provided this authority in hopes 
     that the Secretary of State would employ RIF in order to meet 
     the executive branch's goals for reducing the number of 
     federal employees. It has been provided to achieve equitable 
     distribution of downsizing efforts across all classifications 
     of employees at the Department of State.
     Restoration of withheld benefits
       The Senate amendment (sec. 734) clarifies the intent of 
     section 1058, title 10, United States Code, regarding the 
     military service of retired members of the United States 
     Armed Forces with newly democratic nations. The Senate 
     amendment restores withheld benefits, effective as of January 
     1, 1993, for any person approved for such employment by the 
     Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense before the 
     date of enactment of this Act.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 182) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Foreign language competence
       The Senate amendment (sec. 152) amends section 161(a) of 
     the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 
     and 1991, to ensure that assignment of personnel to foreign 
     language competence posts does not disadvantage or otherwise 
     discriminate against non-designated posts seeking or 
     requiring language qualified personnel. The Senate amendment 
     also amends section 164(a) of the Foreign Relations 
     Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 to require the 
     suspension of payment of language differentials to employees 
     who do not maintain the required proficiency level until 
     proficiency is regained and directs agencies to recommend 
     that such employees seek remedial training to regain 
     proficiency.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 191) requires the Secretary 
     of State within 180 days of enactment to promulgate 
     regulations: (1) establishing hiring preferences for Foreign 
     Service Officer candidates competent in languages, with 
     priority preference given to those languages in which the 
     Department of State has a deficit; (2) establishing a norm 
     that employees will not receive long-term training in more 
     than three languages, and requiring that employees achieve 
     full professional proficiency in one language as a condition 
     for training in a third, with exceptions for priority needs 
     of the Service at the discretion of the Director General; (3) 
     requiring that employees receiving long-term training in a 
     language, or hired with a hiring preference for a language, 
     serve at least two tours in jobs requiring that language, 
     with exceptions for certain limited-use languages and 
     priority needs of the Service at the discretion of the 
     Director General; (4) requiring that significant 
     consideration be given to foreign language competence and use 
     in the evaluation, assignment and promotion of all Foreign 
     Service Officers; (5) requiring the identification of 
     appropriate Washington, D.C. positions as language-
     designated; and (6) requiring remedial training and 
     suspension of language differential payments for employees 
     receiving such payments who have failed to maintain required 
     levels of proficiency. The conference substitute also repeals 
     section 164 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, 
     Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, which established a Foreign 
     Service promotion preference for language competence.
       Section 152, regarding foreign language competence in the 
     Foreign Service, reflects the committee of conference view 
     that a comprehensive approach is needed to the problem of 
     enhancing the language proficiency of our Foreign Service 
     Officers which gives positive weight to language proficiency 
     in the Foreign Service recruitment and assignment processes, 
     as well as in respect to promotions.
       In mandating hiring preferences for Foreign Service Officer 
     candidates who are competent in particular languages, the 
     committee of conference has in mind languages used in two or 
     more substantial posts in which the Foreign Service has, and 
     is likely to have, deficits of qualified personnel in 
     comparison with current and projected numbers of language-
     designated positions to be filled. The committee of 
     conference believes that language proficiency preference 
     should be a factor in the hiring of some members of each 
     entering Foreign Service class.
       The requirement that employees achieve full professional 
     proficiency in one language as a condition for training in a 
     third language responds in part to persistent recommendations 
     from ambassadors, and reports including the 1986 Stearns 
     report and the 1993 IG report, accenting the need for higher 
     levels of required proficiency than the current 3/3 level. In 
     providing for exceptions for priority needs of the Service, 
     the committee of conference believes exceptions including 
     those necessary: to staff, in a manner consistent with 
     orderly management of the personnel system, ``hard to fill'' 
     positions and positions at posts receiving a differential 
     allowance for danger or at which personnel must be 
     unaccompanied by family members; to staff posts using 
     Finnish, Danish, Slovak, Hungarian, and other limited-use 
     languages in which the Foreign Service has a very limited 
     number of language-designated positions, when officers with 
     the appropriate skills and language competence are 
     unavailable; to make tandem assignments possible when one 
     member of the couple has already had long-term training in 
     three languages.
       The committee of conference believes that critical needs of 
     the Service exceptions should include the staffing of ``hard-
     to-fill'' positions and posts receiving a differential 
     allowance for danger or at which personnel must be 
     unaccompanied by family members.
       The committee of conference also believes that, all other 
     factors being equal, a bidder for a language-designated 
     position who already has full or general professional 
     proficiency in the appropriate language should be given an 
     advantage. Under regulations putting the requirements of 
     section 164 of Public Law 101-246 on a basis of regulation, 
     promotion panels for Foreign Service Officers of the 
     Department of State, Agency for International Development, 
     and the United States Information Agency should be instructed 
     to take account of language ability and, all matters being 
     equal, to give precedence in promotions to officers with 
     demonstrated outstanding language proficiency.
       The committee of conference believes that officers serving 
     in some country desk positions in the Department of State 
     should have familiarity with the appropriate language, as 
     well as officers serving in positions requiring regular 
     negotiations or contacts with speakers of a particular 
     language. It should be expected that some officers serving on 
     Arab country, Spanish-speaking Latin American, Francophone, 
     Lusophone, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and other desks speak 
     the relevant language, just as some officers working on NATO 
     affairs should speak French which is one of NATO's two 
     working languages.
     Foreign language resource coordinator
       The Senate amendment (sec. 153) contains congressional 
     findings regarding the insufficient coordination within the 
     Federal government of foreign language assets and expresses 
     the sense of Congress that the Secretary of State should take 
     the lead in coordinating such assets and should call upon 
     other Federal agencies to share in the joint management and 
     coordination of foreign language resources. The Senate 
     amendment also requires the Secretary of State to appoint a 
     Foreign Language Resource Coordinator who shall be 
     responsible for coordinating the efforts of the appropriate 
     agencies of the U.S. Government to strengthen mechanisms for 
     sharing foreign language resources and to identify Federal 
     foreign language resource requirements, and for making 
     recommendations to the Secretary of State as to which Federal 
     foreign language assets, if any, should be made available to 
     the private sector in support of national global economic 
     competitiveness goals.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 192) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but deletes the findings and makes 
     technical and clarifying changes.
       The committee of conference believes that the absence of a 
     single interagency mechanism to coordinate Federal foreign 
     language resources represents a significant weakness in the 
     United States Government's ability to mobilize and direct 
     existing foreign language assets in support of national 
     foreign policy goals. The committee of conference believes 
     there is a growing need for coordination of all Federal 
     agencies maintaining and utilizing foreign language 
     resources, to increase cost-effectiveness through sharing of 
     resources, to identify foreign language needs and priorities 
     required to support foreign policy objectives, and to 
     identify foreign language resources capable of supporting 
     global economic competitiveness and to facilitate private 
     sector access to those resources.
       The committee of conference encourages the Secretary of 
     State to undertake additional initiatives to improve language 
     proficiency in the Foreign Service and foreign affairs 
     agencies, including: retaining an academic expert or 
     recently-serving career ambassador to get a sharper focus on 
     current and prospective foreign language needs of the Foreign 
     Service; developing and implementing a viable proficiency 
     retesting program as was recommended by the 1993 IG report; 
     annually documenting the compliance rate for filling language 
     designated positions with language-qualified personnel, as 
     was recommended by the 1993 IG report; taking steps to fund 
     and reinvigorate post language programs, as was recommended 
     by the 1993 IG report, at posts where inadequate language 
     proficiency is a problem; language-designating certain chiefs 
     of mission positions in the spirit of Section 304(a)(1) of 
     the Foreign Service Act of 1980; language-designating some 
     positions overseas at levels higher than SR/R3 (general 
     professional proficiency), as has been recommended by the 
     1986 Stearns report, numerous ambassadors, and the 1993 IG 
     report; and developing appropriate language proficiency 
     criteria for non-Foreign Service employees of the Department 
     of State, Agency for International Development, and United 
     States Information Agency.
     Foreign language translator and interpreter--career service 
         program
       The Senate amendment (sec. 154) requires the Secretary of 
     State to establish a program to obtain the services of 
     additional translators and interpreters trained at 
     institutions of higher learning in the United States. The 
     Senate amendment requires the Secretary of State to pay the 
     costs of tuition for eligible U.S. citizens who pursue 
     professional training in translation or interpretation in 
     foreign languages for which the Secretary determines there is 
     a shortage of qualified Government personnel. Individuals who 
     successfully complete training shall agree to perform such 
     services for a period of not less than one year for each year 
     of academic tuition paid. The Senate amendment establishes 
     eligibility criteria for participation in the program and 
     allows the Secretary to levy a surcharge for providing other 
     executive branch agencies with foreign language translation 
     and interpretation services.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 193) allows the Secretary 
     of State to levy a surcharge for providing other executive 
     branch agencies with foreign language translation and 
     interpretation services.
     Assignment of Foreign Service Officers with advanced 
         proficiency in foreign languages
       The Senate amendment (sec. 155) contains congressional 
     findings regarding foreign language proficiency and requires 
     the Secretary of State to direct the establishment and 
     apportionment of a certain number of overseas positions at 
     full professional proficiency in each of a majority of 
     overseas missions as follows: for missions using world 
     languages with more than nine Foreign Service Officer 
     positions assigned by the Department of State, 8% of 
     positions and not less than one position at the S4/R4 level, 
     and for missions using hard or incentive languages with more 
     than nine Foreign Service Officer positions assigned by the 
     Department of State, 4% of positions and not less than one 
     position. The Senate amendment also requires the Secretary of 
     State to report to Congress not later than September 30, 
     1994, describing progress made toward implementing this 
     section.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Reimbursement of State and local governments
       The Senate amendment (sec. 733) authorizes the Secretary of 
     State to reimburse Seattle and the State of Washington up to 
     a total of $440,000 in fiscal year 1994 and $500,000 in 
     fiscal year 1995 for security costs associated with the Asian 
     Pacific Economic Cooperation conference held in Seattle in 
     November, 1993.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 101(b)(4)) authorizes 
     $940,000 of the amounts made available for the protection of 
     foreign missions to be available on a one time only basis to 
     reimburse Seattle and the State of Washington for security 
     costs associated with the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation 
     conference held in Seattle in November, 1993 and authorizes 
     $1 million to be available for fiscal year 1995 to reimburse 
     state and local government agencies for the security costs 
     associated with the Western Hemisphere summit scheduled to be 
     held in Miami in December, 1994.
     U.S. citizens victimized by Germany during World War II
       The House bill (sec. 190) contains congressional findings 
     and expresses the sense of Congress that U.S. citizens who 
     were victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity 
     committed by the Government of Germany during the period 1939 
     to 1945 should be compensated by the Government of Germany.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 535) is virtually identical 
     to the House bill, but deletes the findings.

    Title II--United States Informational, Educational and Cultural 
                                Programs

     Changes in administrative authorities
       The House bill (sec. 231) allows the United States 
     Information Agency to use funds for security construction and 
     improvements at USIA facilities abroad which are not 
     collocated with Department of State facilities.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 211) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 222) is identical to the 
     House bill.
     Buying power maintenance account
       The Senate amendment (sec. 212) establishes a buying power 
     maintenance fund for USIA, similar to the one established for 
     the Department of State, in order to maintain appropriate 
     levels of program activities despite foreign currency 
     fluctuations.
       The House bill (sec. 233) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 224) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Contract authority
       The House bill (sec. 234) authorizes USIA to enter into 
     contracts of no more than seven years in length for circuit 
     capacity to distribute radio and television programs. This 
     authority may be exercised only to such extent or in such 
     amounts as are provided in advance in appropriations acts.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 213) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 225) is identical to the 
     House bill.
     Permanent authorizations
       The House bill (sec. 236) repeals section 105(a) of the 
     Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 which 
     provides a permanent authorization of appropriations for U.S. 
     educational and cultural exchange activities.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 201) amends section 105(a) 
     of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 
     to allow funds for U.S. educational and cultural exchange 
     activities to be available until expended.
       The committee of conference notes that section 236 of the 
     House bill was not intended to make funds for exchange 
     programs available only in the year such funds were 
     appropriated.
     Coordination of U.S. exchange programs
       The House bill (sec. 240) requires the President to ensure 
     that all exchange programs conducted by the U.S. Government, 
     its departments and agencies, directly or through agreements 
     with other parties, are coordinated through the Bureau of 
     Educational and Cultural Affairs to ensure that such 
     exchanges are consistent with U.S. foreign policy and to 
     avoid duplication of effort. The President shall report 
     annually on such coordination and include information in the 
     report concerning what exchanges are supported, the number of 
     exchange participants, the types of exchange activities 
     conducted, and the total amount of Federal expenditures for 
     such exchanges.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 220) is similar but requires all 
     exchange programs to be reported to the Bureau, and requires 
     an additional report from the Director of USIA within 180 
     days of enactment outlining the range of exchange programs 
     conducted by USIA, identifying possible areas of duplication 
     or inefficiency, and recommending program consolidation and 
     administrative restructuring as warranted.
       The conference substitute (sec. 229) combines the House and 
     Senate provisions.
     Limitation concerning participation in international 
         expositions
       The Senate amendment (sec. 217) prohibits USIA from 
     obligating or expending funds for a U.S. Government-funded 
     pavilion or other major exhibit at any international 
     exposition or world's fair in excess of amounts expressly 
     authorized and appropriated for such purpose.
       The House bill (sec. 241) is similar.
       The conference substitute (sec. 230) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Private sector opportunities
       The House bill (sec. 242) allows the President to provide 
     for publicity and promotion, including representation, abroad 
     of educational and cultural exchange programs which are not 
     supported financially by the U.S. Government.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 231) is identical to the 
     House bill. The committee of conference notes that this 
     section is not intended to create a need for additional 
     resources for publicizing exchange programs. It is intended 
     that USIA personnel overseas will be able to fulfill this 
     function without an undue increase in workload. The committee 
     of conference also does not intend that additional staff will 
     be necessary to carry out this section.
     Authority to respond to public inquiries
       The Senate amendment (sec. 218) clarifies that the 
     prohibition on the use of funds by USIA to influence public 
     opinion in the United States and on the domestic 
     dissemination of program material prepared by USIA does not 
     prohibit USIA from answering public inquiries about its 
     operations, programs, or policies.
       The House bill (sec. 244) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 232) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     African participation in exchange programs
       The Senate amendment (sec. 223) contains congressional 
     findings regarding the need for enhanced participation by 
     Africans in exchange programs and requires USIA to expand 
     exchange program allocations for Africa, particularly 
     Fulbright Academic Exchanges, International Visitor Programs, 
     and Citizens Exchanges, and encourage broader links between 
     U.S. and African institutions.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 249) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but does not include the congressional 
     findings.
       The committee on the conference notes that USIA programs 
     with African countries have continued to decrease over the 
     past three years, occurring at a time when economic reform 
     and the expansion of democratic governments and institutions 
     are taking place in more than 25 countries across Africa. The 
     committee of conference notes that African institutions are 
     now attempting to reform their education sector to adjust 
     population and budget pressures, and to revitalize existing 
     infrastructure to restore quality. In addition, the committee 
     of conference notes that higher education is one of the 
     cornerstones of economic and political development, and will 
     help improve the well-being of African citizens. Finally, the 
     committee of conference believes that USIA programs in Africa 
     are insufficient to meet the expanding needs for educational 
     development and to help strengthen democratic, educational, 
     and free market institutions in Africa.
     Employment authority
       The House bill (sec. 232) amends section 804(6) of the 
     United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 
     1948 to allow the Director to employ individuals or 
     organizations for services to be performed in the United 
     States or abroad, who shall not, by virtue of such 
     employment, be considered to be employees of the United 
     States Government for purposes of any law administered by the 
     Office of Personnel Management.
       The Senate amendment contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 223) amends the House bill 
     to limit the terms of this provision for the life of the 
     bill.
     Prohibition on discriminatory contracts
       The Senate amendment (sec. 214) provides that, except for 
     real estate leases and waiver authority provided to the 
     Director of the United States Information Agency, the United 
     States Information Agency may not enter into any contract 
     that expends funds appropriated to USIA for an amount in 
     excess of the small purchase order threshold with a foreign 
     person that complies with the Arab League boycott of Israel 
     or with any foreign or United States person that 
     discriminates in the award of contracts on the basis of 
     religion.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute is identical to the Senate 
     amendment.
     U.S. transmitter in Kuwait
       The Senate amendment (sec. 215) prohibits the use of any 
     funds authorized to be appropriated to be obligated or 
     expended for the United States radio transmitter in Kuwait.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 226) modifies the Senate 
     amendment to prohibit the use of funds for the construction 
     of a short wave radio transmitter in Kuwait.
     Appropriations authorities
       The House bill (sec. 235) amends section 701 of the United 
     States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 to 
     expand and make permanent certain authorization transfer 
     authorities enacted in the Foreign Relations Authorization 
     Act, Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993.
       The Senate amendment contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 201) is identical to the 
     House bill.
     American studies collection
       The House bill (sec. 238) provides for the establishment of 
     collections of American studies materials at university 
     libraries abroad to enhance and support American studies at 
     the undergraduate level. The Director of the United States 
     Information Agency is authorized to establish an endowment 
     fund and to make deposits to the fund in amounts appropriated 
     to the fund under section 201(7) of the House bill 
     ($1,650,000 for fiscal year 1994 and $1,950,000 for fiscal 
     year 1995 to fund the endowment; $450,000 for each fiscal 
     years 1994 and 1995 for administrative costs). The Director 
     may also accept, use, and dispose of gifts of donations of 
     services or property to carry out the purposes of this 
     section.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 226) contains the identical 
     provision authorizing the program, but omitting the authority 
     for the endowment.
       The conference substitute (sec. 235) is virtually identical 
     to the House bill. Because the conference substitute does not 
     explicitly authorize appropriations for the endowment, the 
     conference substitute provides for funds appropriated for the 
     American Studies Collections program or otherwise available 
     for it to be deposited in the endowment fund. Authorizations 
     of appropriations for the program are to remain available 
     until the funds are appropriated.
       The program is designed to promote a deeper understanding 
     of U.S. institutions and values among persons with whom we 
     will soon be conducting diplomacy, trade negotiations, and 
     private business. The program builds on the very successful 
     activities of USIA's Division for the Study of the United 
     States in working with the Organization of American 
     Historians (OAH) to promote such studies abroad, particularly 
     in the new democracies. The requirement in this section that 
     USIA work closely with the OAH and other scholarly 
     organizations is intended to ensure that the program has 
     available to it the most current thinking about how to best 
     design such collections. The committee of conference notes 
     that the OAH has already formed committees of each of the 
     principal disciplines to identify the most important work in 
     the field, and the conferees expect USIA to consult closely 
     with those committees.
     South Pacific exchange programs
       The House bill (sec. 239) creates a program: (1) to support 
     academic scholarships to qualified students from the South 
     Pacific region to pursue undergraduate and postgraduate 
     studies at institutions of higher learning in the United 
     States; (2) to make grants to United States scholars and 
     experts to teach, pursue research, or offer training in 
     nations of the South Pacific; and (3) to make grants for 
     youth exchanges. Grants described in (2) are limited to 10% 
     of the total program.
       The Senate amendment contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 241) is identical to the 
     House bill. Because the authorization of appropriations for 
     educational and cultural programs under section 201 assumes 
     $1 million only for the activities described in (1) and (2) 
     above, the conferees understand that no funds will be 
     available in fiscal year 1994 for youth exchanges described 
     in (3), but provide the authority for such exchanges subject 
     to appropriations in future years. In adopting this 
     provision, the conferees intend to encourage exchanges with 
     the Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Niue, Papua New Guinea, the 
     Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Western Samoa and Vanuatu. 
     The conferees note with satisfaction that USIA conducts 
     substantial exchanges with Australia and New Zealand, and do 
     not intend by this provision to enhance those, but rather to 
     encourage attention to the smaller nations listed above.
     Educational and cultural exchanges with Tibet
       The House bill (sec. 243) directs the United States 
     Information Agency to establish programs of educational and 
     cultural exchange between the United States and the people of 
     Tibet.
       The Senate amendment contains no such provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 236) is identical to the 
     House bill. The people of Tibet intended to be the 
     beneficiaries of such programs are people of Tibetan 
     heritage, within Tibet and in exile, rather than Chinese 
     immigrants or temporary Chinese workers in Tibet. The 
     conferees recognize that the USIA has already established a 
     Fulbright program for Tibetans in Nepal and India. This 
     highly successful program should be expanded in size and in 
     scope to include Tibetans in other countries. USIA should 
     also establish a presence in Dharamsala to expand such 
     programs and to consult with the Tibetan leadership there on 
     the design of programs in Tibet.
       The committee of conference notes that the Tibetan people 
     in Tibet suffer a lack of access to educational and cultural 
     exchanges. There is, therefore, a need for a specific program 
     for the Tibetan people in Tibet (Tibetan Autonomous Region 
     and all Tibetan autonomous prefectures incorporated in 
     Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu and Qinghai provinces), with 
     particular emphasis on training programs, educational 
     exchanges, and scientific research. In designing such a 
     program, the USIA should consult with U.S. non-governmental 
     organizations such as the Tibet Fund and the International 
     Campaign for Tibet, to ensure that such programs are 
     appropriate, and should verify that the programs are for 
     persons of Tibetan heritage and not for Chinese immigrants or 
     temporary Chinese workers in Tibet.
     USIA office in Lhasa, Tibet
       The Senate amendment (sec. 219) directs the Director of the 
     United States Information Agency to establish an office in 
     Lhasa, Tibet for the purposes of disseminating information 
     about the United States, promoting discussions on conflict 
     resolution and human rights, facilitating private sector 
     involvement in educational and cultural activities in Tibet, 
     and advising the United States Government with respect to 
     Tibetan public opinion.
       The House bill contains no such provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 221) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but states that the Secretary of State and 
     the Director of the United States Information Agency shall 
     seek to establish such an office and requires an annual 
     report on developments relating to the implementation of this 
     section.
       The committee of conference believes that a U.S. presence 
     in Lhasa and other Tibetan areas is an important policy 
     priority, for it permits more accurate understanding of the 
     situation in Tibet and facilitates Tibetans' exposure to 
     information about the United States and participation in USIA 
     activities. The committee on the conference urges the 
     Director of USIA to make every effort to establish the 
     office, and even in advance of the opening of a Lhasa office, 
     to enhance the Agency's programming for Tibet.
     Scholarships for East Timorese
       The Senate amendment authorizes the Bureau of Educational 
     Affairs of the United States Information Agency to make 
     available for fiscal years 1994 and 1995 scholarships for 
     East Timorese students qualified to study at the 
     undergraduate college or university level in the United 
     States.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 237) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Cambodian scholarship and exchange program
       The Senate amendment (sec. 222) authorizes the Director of 
     the United States Information Agency to establish a 
     scholarship program to enable Cambodian college students and 
     postgraduate students to study in the United States. The 
     Director shall also include qualified Cambodian citizens in 
     other USIA funded exchange programs.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 238) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Environment and sustainable development exchange
       The Senate amendment (sec. 224) authorizes the Director of 
     the United States Information Agency to provide scholarships 
     for study at United States institutions of higher education 
     to foreign students who have completed their undergraduate 
     education and to postsecondary educators for the purpose of 
     training in the fields of environment and development, with 
     particular emphasis on sustainable development.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 240) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
       The purpose of this program is to promote education in 
     fields related to sustainable development. The program is not 
     intended to be a vocational training program, but rather a 
     program to take advantage of the outstanding academic 
     research being done at institutions of higher learning in the 
     United States.
       The conferees recognize that the term ``sustainable 
     development'' is subject to different interpretations and 
     that, as a result, the fields of study that may be considered 
     eligible for purposes of this section are exceptionally 
     broad.
       In authorizing the establishment of this section, the 
     conferees consider the following, non-exclusive examples of 
     the educational programs these fellowships are intended to 
     support: environmental economics, for example natural 
     resource accounting; natural resource management, for example 
     forestry or fisheries management; and engineering, for 
     example in pollution prevention technology.
       In authorizing the establishment of this exchange, the 
     committee of conference expects the United States Information 
     Agency to consult with the Committees of jurisdiction in 
     establishing the parameters of eligible programs.
     Vocational Exchange Program
       The Senate amendment (sec. 225) amends the Mutual 
     Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 to authorize 
     the President to conduct vocational exchanges by financing 
     visits and interchanges of professionals and skilled workers 
     in the fields of government, business, and finance.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Near and Middle East research and training
       The Senate amendment (sec. 227) amends section 228(d) of 
     the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, fiscal years 1993 
     and 1993, by expanding the definition to include providing 
     graduate grants and grants for post-doctoral studies to 
     United States scholars on Turkey.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 233) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Distribution of USIA film
       The Senate amendment (sec. 228) allows the Director of the 
     United States Information Agency to make available for 
     distribution within the United States the USIA film ``Crimes 
     Against Humanity.''
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 234) amends the Senate 
     amendment to allow the Director of the United States 
     Information Agency to also make available for distribution 
     within the United States the United States Information 
     Agency's Thomas Jefferson Paper Show, which commemorates the 
     250th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson.
     International Exchange Program involving disability related 
         matters
       The Senate amendment (sec. 230) amends section 102(b) of 
     the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 to 
     add to the authorization granted to the President under this 
     Act to provide for the promotion of educational, medical, and 
     scientific meetings, training, research, visits, 
     interchanges, and other activities, with respect to 
     disability related matters, including participation by 
     individuals with disabilities in such activities, through 
     non-profit organizations having a demonstrated capability to 
     coordinate exchange programs involving disability-related 
     matters.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 242) requires that in 
     carrying out the authorities of Section 102(b) of the Mutual 
     Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (22 USC 
     2452(b)), the President shall promote the inclusion of 
     persons with disabilities, as well as persons involved in 
     disability-related matters.


                   Part B--Mike Mansfield Fellowships

     Establishment of fellowship program
       The House bill (sec. 252) establishes the Mike Mansfield 
     Fellowship Program. The Director of the United States 
     Information Agency will make grants, subject to the 
     availability of appropriations, to the Mansfield Center for 
     Pacific Affairs to award fellowships to eligible United 
     States citizens for periods of 2 years each or for a shorter 
     period of time as the Center may determine. Fellowships shall 
     include one year in which each fellow will study the Japanese 
     language and the Japanese political economy and a second year 
     in which each fellowship recipient will serve as a Fellow in 
     a parliamentary office, ministry, or other agency of the 
     Government of Japan or, with the approval of the Center, a 
     nongovernmental Japanese institution. Fellowships are to be 
     known as ``Mansfield Fellowships'' and individuals awarded 
     fellowships as ``Mansfield Fellows.'' Grants may be made to 
     the Center only if the Center agrees to comply with the 
     program requirements established in section 253 of the House 
     bill. The Director of USIA is authorized to enter into a 
     private agreement with the Japanese Government for the 
     purpose of negotiating an agreement on the placement of 
     Mansfield Fellows in the Japanese Government. The Center is 
     authorized to accept, use, and dispose of gifts or donations 
     of services or property in carrying out the fellowship 
     program, subject to the review and approval of the Board.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 232) differs from the House bill 
     in that it authorizes the Center to accept gifts and 
     donations of services from private sources but does not 
     condition the Center's acceptance of these sources as being 
     subject to the review and approval of the Board.
       The conference substitute (sec. 252) makes acceptance by 
     the Center of gifts and donations from private sources 
     subject to the review and approval of the Director of USIA.
     Program requirements
       The House bill (sec. 253) establishes the following 
     requirements: U.S. citizens eligible for fellowships shall be 
     employees of the Federal Government for a period of at least 
     two years with a strong career interest in United States-
     Japan relations. Not less than 10 scholarships shall be 
     awarded each year. Mansfield Fellows shall agree to maintain 
     satisfactory progress in language training and appropriate 
     behavior in Japan and shall return to the Federal Government 
     for further employment for a period of at least two years at 
     the end of their fellowships unless the Fellow is unable to 
     find reemployment in the Federal Government. The Center shall 
     provide each Fellow with a stipend equal to the pay rate the 
     individual was receiving when he or she entered the program, 
     cost of living adjustments, and certain allowances and 
     benefits the individual would have been entitled to as a 
     United States Government civilian employee overseas. For the 
     first year of each fellowship, the Center shall provide 
     intensive Japanese language training and courses in the 
     political economy of Japan in the Washington, D.C. area. The 
     Center may waive any or all of the training requirements to 
     the extent the Fellow has language skills or knowledge of 
     Japan's political economy. Mansfield Fellows not complying 
     with the requirements of this section of the House bill shall 
     reimburse USIA for funds expended, together with interest. 
     The Center shall select Fellows based solely on merit and 
     make every possible effort to recruit candidates reflecting 
     the cultural, ethnic, and racial diversity of the United 
     States. The Center shall assist all Fellows in finding 
     employment in the Federal Government if the Fellow is not 
     able to be reemployed in the agency which he or she separated 
     to become a Fellow. No Fellow may engage in intelligence-
     related activities on behalf of the United States Government. 
     The accounts of the Center shall be audited annually and the 
     Center shall provide a report of the audit to the Board no 
     later than six months following the close of the fiscal year 
     for which the audit was made.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 233) is identical to the House 
     bill except for the following: The House bill requires that 
     each Fellow, in addition to maintaining satisfactory progress 
     in language training, must maintain appropriate behavior in 
     Japan. The Senate amendment does not list appropriate 
     behavior as a program requirement. The Senate amendment does 
     not require the accounts of the Center to be audited annually 
     whereas the House bill requires an annual audit of the 
     Center's accounts.
       The conference substitute (sec. 253) includes appropriate 
     behavior as a program requirement. It also requires that the 
     financial records of the Center be audited annually and the 
     report of the audit be submitted to the Director of USIA.
     Mansfield fellowship review board
       The House bill (sec. 255) establishes the Mansfield 
     Fellowship Review Board to consist of the following 11 
     individuals or their designees: Secretary of State, Secretary 
     of Defense, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Commerce, 
     United State Trade Representative, Chief Justice of the 
     United States, Majority Leader of the Senate, Minority Leader 
     of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Representatives, 
     Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, and Director 
     of the United States Information Agency. The Board shall 
     review the administration of the program. Each year at the 
     time of the submission of the President's budget request to 
     Congress, the Board shall submit to the President and 
     Congress a report completed by the Center with the approval 
     of the Board on the conduct of the program during the 
     preceding year. The Director of USIA is authorized to provide 
     secretarial and staff assistance to the Board. The Federal 
     Advisory Committee Act shall not apply to the Board to the 
     extent the provisions of this section are inconsistent with 
     that Act.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 235) authorizes the Director of 
     USIA to review the administration of the program. Each year 
     at the time of the submission of the President's budget 
     request to Congress, the Director of USIA shall submit to the 
     Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations and the 
     Speaker of the House of Representatives a report completed by 
     the Center on the conduct of the program during the preceding 
     year.
       The conference substitute (sec. 253) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Definitions
       The House bill (sec. 256) provides for the purposes of the 
     Mike Mansfield Fellowship Act the following definitions: 
     ``Agency of the United States Government'' includes any 
     agency of the legislative branch, any court of the judicial 
     branch, as well as any agency of the executive branch. The 
     terms ``agency head'' means: in the case of the executive 
     branch of government or an agency of the legislative branch, 
     other than Congress, the head of the representative agency; 
     in the case of the judicial branch, the chief justice of the 
     respective court; in the case of the Senate, the President 
     pro tempore, in consultation with the Majority and Minority 
     Leaders; in the case of the House of Representatives, the 
     Speaker of the House, in consultation with the Majority and 
     Minority Leaders of the House; the term ``Board'' means the 
     Mike Mansfield Fellowship Review Board; the term ``Center'' 
     means the Mansfield Center for Pacific Affairs.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 236) is virtually identical to 
     the House bill but omits the definition of the term 
     ``Board.''
       The conference substitute (sec. 257) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
       The committee of conference believes that the Mansfield 
     Fellowship Program will serve as a tribute to Senator Mike 
     Mansfield, in recognition both of his long career of public 
     service and of his contributions to U.S.-Japan relations and 
     to mutual understanding between the American and Japanese 
     peoples. The committee also believes that, by making it 
     possible for United States Government employees to live in 
     Japan and work in Japanese Government agencies, the Program 
     will enhance the capacity of the U.S. Government to manage 
     the important, yet complex, U.S.-Japan relationship.

               Title III--International Broadcasting Act

       This part, which constitutes the International Broadcasting 
     Act, establishes a new structure for the operation of U.S. 
     Government non-military broadcast services in response to new 
     political conditions in the post Cold War world, 
     technological advances in broadcasting and changing budget 
     realities. This title consolidates United States Government 
     non-military broadcast services in the United States 
     Information Agency under the authority of a Presidentially 
     appointed and Senate confirmed Broadcasting Board of 
     Governors.
       The committee of conference notes the enormous impact and 
     success of U.S. international broadcasting services over the 
     past fifty years. The committee of conference also commends 
     the President for ordering a review of United States 
     Government international broadcasting activities to ensure 
     the most effective broadcasting in the post-Cold War era and 
     to achieve savings. Since World War II, the Voice of America 
     (VOA), and Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), have 
     provided accurate news and facilitated the free flow of 
     information to millions of people around the world.
       While changing circumstances in countries to which the 
     United States broadcasts will necessitate adjustments in 
     programming content, hours and languages, the committee of 
     conference believes that continued broadcasting by these 
     services remains important to the national interests of the 
     United States.
       The political realities of the post Cold War order 
     necessitate a complete and thorough review of U.S. broadcast 
     operations. The social, economic, and political upheavals 
     associated with the collapse of the former Soviet Union have 
     had, and continue to have, a profound impact at least as 
     significant as events that led to the creation of the mission 
     and structures of our current international broadcast 
     operations. These changes have not resulted in smooth or 
     inevitable transitions to democracy. Rather, the nature and 
     direction of current developments in these regions of 
     tremendous importance to the United States are confusing and 
     unclear. Broadcast services that were designed, in part, to 
     undermine the legitimacy of outwardly stable totalitarian 
     regimes now have to adapt to remain relevant, flexible and 
     useful at a time of enormous political, economic and social 
     volatility.
       The committee of conference notes that throughout the Cold 
     War it was virtually impossible to obtain accurate audience 
     data from many of the countries where the United States had 
     the greatest interest in broadcasting. In the new 
     broadcasting environment, the committee of conference urges 
     those involved in planning and managing U.S. international 
     broadcasting to utilize comprehensive and definitive audience 
     research in order to ensure that, within limited resources, 
     taxpayer funds are used to maximize the reach and impact of 
     U.S. broadcast services.
       The committee of conference acknowledges the particular 
     importance of international broadcasting in countries and 
     regions undergoing democratic transition. The committee of 
     conference recognizes the important role played by VOA in 
     informing voters during the recent Cambodian election and 
     recommends that such special and expanded coverage, including 
     candidate forums, on the street interviews and programming 
     about democratic principles and process be an integral part 
     of broadcasts to regions during electoral undertakings. The 
     committee of conference believes that U.S. Government 
     international broadcasting services should in the years ahead 
     give high priority to covering issues related to the 
     establishment of democratic institutions.
     Short title
       The Senate amendment (sec. 301) establishes a short title 
     of this part as the ``United States International 
     Broadcasting Act of 1994''.
       The House bill (sec. 211) establishes a short title of this 
     part as the ``United States International Broadcasting Act of 
     1993''.
       The conference substitute (sec. 301) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Findings and declarations
       The Senate amendment (sec. 302) makes the following 
     congressional findings: that it is the policy of the United 
     States to promote the right of opinion and expression in 
     accordance with Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of 
     Human Rights; that open communication of information and 
     ideas contribute to peace and international stability; that 
     United States support for VOA, RFE/RL, and broadcasting to 
     Cuba has been prominent in the implementation of U.S. policy; 
     that the creation of a new broadcast service to the People's 
     Republic of China and other communist countries in Asia would 
     promote the goals of U.S. foreign policy; and that 
     reorganization and consolidation of broadcast services will 
     achieve important economies and enhance U.S. policy in a 
     changing international environment.
       The House bill (sec. 212) contains the following 
     congressional findings: that it is the policy of the United 
     States to promote the free flow of information; that open 
     communication among the peoples of the world is in the 
     interests of the United States; and that it is in the 
     interest of the United States to support broadcasting to 
     other nations.
       The conference substitute (sec. 302) contains the following 
     congressional findings and declarations of purpose: that it 
     is the policy of the United States to promote the right of 
     freedom of opinion and expression; that open communication of 
     information and ideas contributes to peace and international 
     stability; and that it is in the interest of the United 
     States to support broadcasting to other nations consistent 
     with the requirements of this Act, that the continuation of 
     current U.S. international broadcasting and the creation of a 
     new service for the people of the PRC and other countries of 
     Asia which lack free information will advance U.S. foreign 
     policy, and that the reorganization and consolidation of 
     broadcast services will achieve important economies and 
     enhance U.S. policy in a changing international environment.
     Standards and principles
       The House bill (sec. 213) establishes the following 
     standards for international broadcasting activities supported 
     by U.S. funds: that it be consistent with U.S. foreign policy 
     and international telecommunications policy and treaty 
     obligations; that it complement the activities of private 
     U.S. broadcasters and government supported broadcasters of 
     other democratic nations; that it be conducted according to 
     the highest professional standards; that it be based on 
     reliable information about its potential audience; and that 
     it be designed to reach a significant audience.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 303(a)) (Broadcasting 
     Standards) is virtually identical to the House amendment, but 
     contains technical and conforming changes. These standards 
     are applicable to all international broadcasting supported by 
     the U.S. Government.
       The House bill (sec. 214 ) establishes the following 
     requirements for U.S. international broadcasting: that it be 
     accurate and objective; that it present a balanced and 
     comprehensive view of the diversity of American thought and 
     opinion; that it clearly and effectively present the policies 
     of the U.S. Government; that its programming meet the 
     unserved information needs of the broadcast audience; that it 
     be a forum for a variety of opinions; that it be a source of 
     information about developments in each significant region of 
     the world; that it be a forum for a variety of opinions and 
     voices from within nations that suffer from censorship of 
     free speech and opinion; that it maintain reliable research 
     capacity and transmitter and relay capacity to support its 
     activities; that it be a source of information about 
     developments in Asia; and that it provide training and 
     technical support for independent indigenous media.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 303(b)) (Broadcasting 
     Principles) is virtually identical to the House bill.
       The committee of conference notes that it is not intended 
     that each broadcasting operation supported by the U.S. 
     government must meet the requirements of every standard and 
     function contained in this subsection, but rather that the 
     totality of non-military U.S. government international 
     broadcasting should accomplish these functions.
     Broadcasting Board of Governors
        The Senate amendment (sec. 303) establishes within USIA a 
     Broadcasting Board of Governors. The Board shall consist of 8 
     members. 6 shall be voting members and appointed by the 
     President, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The 
     Director of the USIA shall also serve as a voting member. The 
     Director of the International Broadcasting Bureau shall be an 
     ex-officio member of the Board but may not vote in the 
     determinations of the Board. The President shall designate 
     one member, other than the Director of USIA, as the Chairman. 
     Exclusive of the Director of USIA, not more than four members 
     of the Board shall be of the same political party. Each 
     member of the Board shall serve for three years, except the 
     Director of USIA who shall remain a member of the Board for 
     his or her respective term of service. Of the other 6 voting 
     board members, the initial terms of office of 2 members shall 
     be 1 year, and the initial terms of office of 2 other members 
     shall be 2 years, so that the terms of office of one-third of 
     the voting members of the Board expires each year. Members 
     appointed to the Board shall be citizens of the United States 
     who are not currently regular full-time employees of the 
     United States Government. Members of the Board, while 
     attending meetings or engaged in activities of the Board, 
     shall be compensated at the level IV of the Executive 
     Schedule. The Director of USIA and the Director of the 
     International Broadcasting Bureau shall not be entitled to 
     such compensation, except for travel expenses.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 304) increases the number 
     of members of the Broadcasting Board of Governors from 8 to 9 
     and eliminates the Director of the International Broadcasting 
     Bureau from the Board. The Director of USIA shall be a member 
     of the Board for his or her term of office. The President 
     shall designate 1 member, other than the Director of USIA, as 
     the Chairman. The conference substitute increases from 6 to 8 
     the number of voting members who shall be appointed by the 
     President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. 
     Exclusive of the Director of USIA, not more than 4 members 
     appointed by the President shall be of the same political 
     party. The term of office of each member of the Board shall 
     be three years, except the Director of USIA who shall remain 
     a member for his or her term of service.
       The conference substitute requires the Acting Director of 
     the Agency to serve as a member of the Board when there is no 
     Director of the USIA, and to remain a member of the Board 
     until a new Director is appointed. Of the other 8 voting 
     members, the conference substitute establishes initial terms 
     of office for 2 members of the Board for 1 year and the 
     initial terms of office for 3 members for 2 years. Decisions 
     of the Board are to be made by a majority vote with a quorum 
     present. A quorum shall consist of 5 members of the Board. 
     Members appointed to the Board shall be citizens of the 
     United States who are not currently regular full-time 
     employees of the United States Government. Members of the 
     Board, while attending meetings or engaged in activities of 
     the Board, shall be compensated at level IV of the Executive 
     Schedule. The Director of USIA shall not be entitled to such 
     compensation, except for travel expenses.
     Authorities of the Board
       The Senate amendment (sec. 304) authorizes the Board to 
     provide guidance to, and oversight of, the International 
     Broadcasting Bureau; to review and evaluate the mix of VOA 
     and surrogate programming; to make grants to RFE/RL, to 
     review engineering activities; to undertake efficiency 
     studies, to appoint staff personnel to the Board; to submit 
     to the President an annual report on its activities to the 
     President; to procure supplies, services, and personal 
     property; and to make available for its own use official 
     reception and representation expenses. The Director of the 
     Board shall also, in carrying out its functions, respect the 
     independence and professional integrity of the International 
     Broadcasting Bureau and its broadcasting services.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 305) authorizes the Board 
     to direct and supervise all non-military broadcasting 
     activities supported by the U.S. government; to review and 
     evaluate the mission and operation of, and to assess the 
     quality, effectiveness, and professional integrity of, all 
     programming within the broad foreign policy objectives of the 
     United States; to review, evaluate and determine the addition 
     or deletion of language services; to assure that all U.S. 
     international broadcasting is conducted in accordance with 
     the standards and principles contained in this Act; to review 
     engineering activities; to make and supervise grants for 
     broadcasting by Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty and Radio 
     Free Asia; to allocate funds appropriated for international 
     broadcasting activities; to undertake studies that identify 
     areas in which the broadcasting activities under its 
     authority can be made more efficient and economical; to 
     submit an annual report to Congress on its activities, 
     including information on the amount of funds expended on 
     administrative and managerial services by each of the 
     broadcasting services; to review engineering activities for 
     quality and cost-effectiveness; to procure supplies and 
     services; to appoint staff personnel to the Board whose job 
     classifications and compensation shall be determined by 
     General Schedule pay rates and guidelines; to make available 
     for its own use official reception and representation 
     expenses; to respect the independence and professional 
     integrity of the International Broadcasting Bureau, its 
     broadcasting services, and grantees; and to provide for use 
     of USG transmitter capacity for relay of Radio Free Asia. The 
     Director of the Bureau and all grantees shall submit proposed 
     budgets to the Board. The Board shall forward its budget 
     recommendations to the Director, USIA, as part of the 
     Agency's submission to OMB.
       The committee of conference clarifies the ultimate 
     authority of the Broadcasting Board of Governors over all 
     broadcasting activities pursuant to this Act and the Radio 
     and TV Broadcasting to Cuba Acts.
     Foreign policy guidance
       The Senate amendment (sec. 305) authorizes the Secretary of 
     State, acting through the Director of USIA, to provide 
     information and guidance on foreign policy issues to the 
     Board.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 306) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment. The committee of conference believes that 
     it is of essential importance that the Board be informed of 
     all relevant foreign policy guidance in carrying out its 
     mandate under the terms of this Act. The committee of 
     conference is also mindful of the need for journalists and 
     broadcasters to maintain their professional independence in 
     order to produce factual, unbiased and balanced work 
     products. For these reasons, all relevant foreign policy 
     guidance provided to the Board should be transmitted by the 
     Secretary of State, acting through the Director of USIA, and 
     no other channel.
     International Broadcasting Bureau
       The Senate amendment (sec. 306) establishes an 
     International Broadcasting Bureau within USIA to include the 
     following elements: VOA, Office of Surrogate Broadcasting, 
     Worldnet Television and Film Service, Engineering and 
     Technical operations, and other elements established by the 
     Director of International Broadcasting in concurrence with 
     the Director of USIA. The Office of Surrogate Broadcasting 
     shall administer the grants for Radio Free Europe, Radio 
     Liberty, Radio Free Asia, and administer the Office of Cuba 
     Broadcasting and other surrogate services that may be 
     established. The Director of the Bureau shall be appointed by 
     the Chairman of the Board in consultation with the Director 
     of USIA and with the concurrence of a majority of the Board. 
     Section 5315 of title 5, United States Code is amended to 
     include the position of Director of International 
     Broadcasting Bureau, USIA. Funding for the Board and the 
     Bureau shall be made out of a single appropriations account. 
     The Director of the Bureau shall submit proposals on 
     appropriation of broadcasting funds to the Board. The Board 
     shall forward its recommendations to the Director, USIA. The 
     recommendations of the Board shall be included in the 
     Director's submission of the proposed broadcasting budget to 
     OMB. The Board shall allocate funds among the separate 
     elements of the International Broadcasting Bureau, subject to 
     limitations established in the Act.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 307) establishes an 
     International Broadcasting Bureau within USIA to carry out 
     all non-military international broadcasting activities 
     supported by the United States government, other than the 
     grantees described in sections 308 and 309. The Director of 
     the Bureau shall be appointed by the Chairman of the Board in 
     consultation with the Director of USIA and with the 
     concurrence of a majority of the Board. Section 5315 of title 
     5, United States Code, is amended to include the position of 
     Director of the International Broadcasting Bureau, USIA. It 
     is the expectation of the committee on conference that 
     funding for all broadcasting activities pursuant to this Act 
     will be made out of a single, separately identified, 
     appropriations account.
       The committee of conference declines to specify in detail 
     the structure, organization, and responsibilities of the 
     Bureau, believing that these issues can be more thoroughly 
     and adequately addressed by the newly constituted 
     Broadcasting Board of Governors. The committee of conference 
     requests the Board to submit to Congress at the earliest 
     possible date a detailed description of and justification for 
     the organization, responsibilities, and activities of the 
     International Broadcasting Bureau.
     Limits on grants for Radio Free Europe & Radio Liberty
        The Senate amendment (sec. 307) authorizes the Board to 
     make annual grants to RFE/RL for the purpose of operating 
     RFE/RL and Radio Free Asia. No grant may be made to RFE/RL 
     unless RFE/RL's certificate of incorporation has been amended 
     to provide that: the Board of Directors of RFE/RL shall 
     consist of the members of the Broadcasting Board of 
     Governors; the Board shall make all policy determinations 
     with respect to RFE/RL, including compensation of employees; 
     and the name of RFE/RL shall be amended to include reference 
     to Radio Free Asia. No grant shall be made to RFE/RL unless 
     it agrees to locate the headquarters of its corporation and 
     senior staff within the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. 
     Not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, the Board 
     shall submit a report to Congress on the number of staff that 
     will be located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. 
     Grants made after September 30, 1995, for the operating costs 
     of Radio Free Asia may not exceed $22,000,000 in any fiscal 
     year. The total amount of one-time capital costs for Radio 
     Free Asia may not exceed $8,000,000. RFE/RL is authorized to 
     reallocate resources between funds made available for RFE/RL 
     and Radio Free Asia. The Board may determine at any time to 
     award the grant to an entity other than RFE/RL if it 
     determines that RFE/RL is not fulfilling its authorities 
     outlined in this Act.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 309) provides that grants 
     authorized under this section shall be made available to make 
     annual grants to carry out the same functions as were carried 
     out by RFE/RL before the date of enactment of this Act. 
     Grants to RFE/RL shall be made subject to an agreement 
     between the Board and RFE/RL, which requires that grant funds 
     will only be used for purposes the Board determines 
     consistent with the requirements of this section. Failure to 
     comply with the requirements of this section shall permit the 
     grant to be terminated without fiscal obligation to the 
     United States. The grant agreement shall impose conditions as 
     the Board determines necessary to reduce overlapping language 
     and broadcasting services. The grant agreements shall require 
     RFE/RL to justify in detail each proposed expenditure of 
     grant funds. Grants may not be used for any other purpose 
     unless the Board gives its approval. No grant funds may be 
     used to pay any salary or compensation in excess of rates 
     established for comparable positions under title 5 of the 
     United States Code or the foreign relations laws of the 
     United States and that these limitations will not be imposed 
     prior to January 1, 1995; to influence the defeat or passage 
     of legislation in Congress; to enter into contract to pay 
     severance payments beyond those required by United States law 
     or the laws of the country where the person is stationed; to 
     pay for first class travel; and to compensate freelance 
     contractors without the written approval of the Director. Not 
     later than March 31 and September 30, the Inspector General 
     of USIA shall submit to the Board, the Director of USIA, and 
     Congress a report on management practices of RFE/RL. The 
     Inspector General of USIA shall establish a special unit 
     within the Inspector General's office to monitor and audit 
     RFE/RL. The financial transactions of RFE/RL may be audited 
     by the General Accounting Office. The GAO shall have access 
     to all books, accounts, records, reports, and files of RFE/
     RL. The Inspector General of USIA is authorized to exercise 
     the authorities of the Inspector General Act of 1978 with 
     respect to RFE/RL. Before relocating the activities of RFE/
     RL, the Board for International Broadcasting or the Board, if 
     established, shall submit a detailed plan to the Comptroller 
     General and the appropriate congressional committees. Not 
     later than 3 months after enactment of this Act the Board for 
     International Broadcasting shall submit a report to the 
     Office of Personnel Management on personnel classifications 
     and salaries. Not later than 9 months after enactment of this 
     Act, the Office of Personnel Management shall submit a report 
     to Congress on the personnel classification and rates of 
     salaries used by RFE/RL.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 308) combines Senate 
     amendment sections 307 and 309 in recognition that both of 
     these sections address grant limitations for RFE/RL. This 
     section of the conference substitute provides that no grant 
     may be made to RFE/RL, Incorporated, unless RFE/RL's 
     certificate of incorporation has been amended to provide that 
     the Board of RFE/RL shall consist of the members of the 
     Broadcasting Board of Governors and that the Board shall make 
     all major policy determinations governing the operation of 
     RFE/RL, including making determinations on compensation 
     levels of RFE/RL employees. Compliance with these 
     requirements shall not be construed to make RFE/RL a Federal 
     agency or instrumentality.
       The conference substitute modifies the Senate amendment 
     requirement that senior staff headquarters for RFE/RL be 
     located in the metropolitan area of Washington, D.C.; 
     instead, the conference substitute requires that RFE/RL's 
     senior staff and senior management headquarters be located in 
     a place which ensures economy, operational effectiveness, and 
     accountability to the Board. The committee of conference is 
     mindful that placement of all senior staff in the Washington 
     metropolitan area could lead to management and operational 
     inefficiencies. The Board shall be required to submit a 
     report to Congress 90 days after confirmation of the Board 
     that describes the number of administrative, managerial, and 
     technical staff of RFE/RL who will be located within the 
     metropolitan area of Washington, D.C.
       The conference substitute provides that grants for 
     operating costs made to RFE/RL after September 30, 1995 may 
     not exceed $75,000,000 in any fiscal year. The Board at any 
     time may award grants to carry out these functions to an 
     entity other than RFE/RL if the Board determines that RFE/RL 
     is not fulfilling its mandate in an effective and economical 
     manner.
       The conference substitute provides that grants made to RFE/
     RL shall be available for the purpose of carrying out similar 
     functions by RFE/RL before the date of enactment of the Act. 
     Grants to RFE/RL shall be made subject to an agreement 
     between the Board and RFE/RL; the agreement shall require 
     that grant funds be used only for purposes the Board 
     determines consistent with the requirements of this 
     provision. Failure to comply with the requirements of this 
     provision shall permit the grant to be terminated without 
     fiscal obligation to the United States. The grant agreement 
     shall impose conditions as the Board determines necessary to 
     reduce overlapping language and broadcasting services. The 
     grant agreements shall require RFE/RL to justify in detail 
     each proposed expenditure of grant funds. Grants may not be 
     used for any other purpose unless the Board gives its 
     approval.
       The conference substitute provides that no grant funds may 
     be used for the following purposes: to pay any salary or 
     compensation in excess of rates established for comparable 
     positions under title 5 of the United States Code and that 
     such limitations shall not be imposed prior to October 1, 
     1995; to influence or defeat the passage of legislation in 
     Congress; to enter into a contract or obligation to pay 
     severance payment for voluntary separation for employees 
     hired after December 1, 1990 beyond those required by United 
     States law or the laws of the country where the employee is 
     stationed; to pay for first class travel for any employee of 
     RFE/RL; and to compensate freelance contractors without the 
     written approval of the Director. Not later than March 31 and 
     September 30 of each calendar year, the Inspector General of 
     USIA shall submit to the Board, the Director of USIA, and 
     Congress a report on management practices of RFE/RL. The 
     Inspector General of USIA shall establish a special unit 
     within the Inspector General's office to monitor and audit 
     RFE/RL. The financial transactions of RFE/RL may be audited 
     by the General Accounting Office. The GAO shall have access 
     to all books, accounts, records, and reports. Upon repeal of 
     the Board for International Broadcasting Act, the Inspector 
     General of USIA is authorized to exercise the authorities of 
     the Inspector General Act of 1978 with respect to RFE/RL. 
     Until such time, the Board for International Broadcasting 
     Inspector General shall continue to exercise his or her 
     responsibilities.
       The conferees underscore that the mandate of the Inspector 
     General is not so broad as to encompass investigation of 
     editorial practices. The conferees are concerned that 
     journalistic independence of broadcasters would be endangered 
     if the Inspector General were to second guess working 
     journalists. Such review should be undertaken by the managers 
     of the respective services, with proper oversight of the 
     Board.
       The conference substitute provides that no funds authorized 
     for fiscal years 1994 and 1995 be available for relocating 
     the activities of RFE/RL, unless specifically provided for in 
     an appropriation Act or pursuant to a reprogramming 
     notification, and the relocation is approved by the Board and 
     the Board submits a detailed plan to the Comptroller General 
     and the appropriate congressional committees or, prior to the 
     confirmation of the Board, the relocation is authorized by 
     the President, the President certifies that there is a 
     significant national interest that requires the decision to 
     be made prior to the confirmation of the Board and upon the 
     submission of a detailed plan to the Comptroller General of 
     the United States and the appropriate congressional 
     committees.
       This section reflects the belief of the committee of 
     conference that any decision to relocate RFE/RL Inc. from 
     Munich should be taken by the Broadcasting Board of Governors 
     after the Board has conducted its own independent review of 
     such proposals and presented a detailed report that includes 
     all relevant materials that justify a recommendation to 
     relocate. This section is designed expressly to forestall a 
     fait accompli before the Board has been confirmed but which, 
     nevertheless, constrains the Board thereafter on an issue of 
     immense significance to the future not just of RFE/RL but all 
     broadcasting under the aegis of the Board. The conferees 
     recognize that the government of the Czech Republic has 
     offered to provide a new headquarters for RFE/RL Inc. 
     However, the conferees make no judgement as to the propriety 
     of the relocation itself.
       Not later than 90 days after confirmation of the Board, the 
     Board shall submit to Congress a report on personnel 
     classifications and salaries. The report shall include a 
     comparison of the rates of salaries, other compensation and 
     classifications of RFE/RL employees with those of VOA 
     employees stationed overseas in comparable positions and 
     shall identify disparities and steps being taken to eliminate 
     any disparities. It is the intention of the committee of 
     conference that the full range of employee benefits and 
     salaries should be taken into consideration when determining 
     comparability between employees of the U.S. government and 
     RFE/RL Inc. For example, salaries, allowances, tax 
     liabilities and privileges should be included within the 
     review. The committee of conference notes that the Board, in 
     preparing this report, should consult closely with the Office 
     of Personnel Management. Congress, in assessing the report 
     submitted to it by the Board, will rely closely on the Office 
     of Personnel Management for technical expertise in its 
     evaluation of the report submitted by the Board.
       The conference substitute removes from this section all 
     references to Radio Free Asia. The committee of conference 
     acknowledges the fundamental differences and challenges 
     facing RFE/RL and Radio Free Asia. Tasking RFE/RL with the 
     responsibility of overseeing the creation and management of a 
     new surrogate broadcast service would be unwise since RFE/RL 
     is undergoing a period of unprecedented consolidation and 
     reorganization of its own operations. The committee of 
     conference also recognizes the need for Radio Free Asia to be 
     allowed maximum flexibility to create and implement 
     appropriate broadcast services for the Asian continent.
     Radio Free Asia
       The Senate amendment (sec. 308) provides for making annual 
     grants to Radio Free Asia for the purpose of carrying out 
     radio broadcasting to the People's Republic of China, Burma, 
     Cambodia, Laos, North Korea, Tibet, and Vietnam. Radio Free 
     Asia shall provide accurate and timely information, news and 
     commentary about events in Asia and elsewhere and be a forum 
     for a variety of opinions. No grant may be awarded to Radio 
     Free Asia until the Board has submitted to Congress and the 
     Comptroller General of the United States a detailed plan for 
     the establishment and operation of Radio Free Asia. The plan 
     shall be submitted no later than 120 days after enactment of 
     this Act. If the Board determines that Radio Free Asia may 
     not be operated effectively within the funding limitations, 
     it may present an alternative plan and propose changes in 
     legislation to the appropriate congressional committees. Not 
     later than 3 years after the date funds have been provided to 
     RFE/RL for the purpose of operating Radio Free Asia, the 
     Board shall submit a report on the performance, feasibility 
     and the future viability of Radio Free Asia. The Board may 
     not make any grant for the purpose of operating Radio Free 
     Asia after September 30, 1998, unless the President 
     determines that it is in the national interest to fund Radio 
     Free Asia for one additional year. The Board shall notify the 
     appropriate congressional committees before entering into any 
     agreements utilizing VOA transmitters and equipment. Grants 
     may only be made to RFE/RL if the principal place of business 
     of Radio Free Asia is within the Washington, D.C. 
     metropolitan area, unless the Board determines that another 
     location within the United States is more cost-effective. The 
     Senate amendment also provided that grants made for the 
     operating costs of Radio Free Asia may not exceed $22,000,000 
     in any fiscal year and that total grant funds made available 
     for one-time capital costs of Radio Free Asia may not exceed 
     $8,000,000.
       The House bill contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 309) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but makes the following changes: Radio Free 
     Asia is established as an independent grantee rather than 
     being a separately funded activity of RFE/RL. No grant may be 
     awarded to Radio Free Asia until the Board has submitted a 
     detailed plan on Radio Free Asia to Congress that shall 
     include a description of the manner in which Radio Free Asia 
     would meet the funding limitations established in the Act, a 
     description of the numbers and qualifications of employees it 
     proposes to hire, and how Radio Free Asia proposes to meet 
     the technical requirements for carrying out its 
     responsibilities under this section. The conferees note that, 
     for purposes of this plan, ``technical requirements'' include 
     a statement that the authority to utilize existing 
     transmitters has been obtained for the broadcasting of Radio 
     Free Asia to countries or regions proposed in the plan, and 
     that existing transmitters meet the technical needs of the 
     new service. The conference substitute maintains the 
     requirement that the detailed plan for the establishment and 
     operation of Radio Free Asia, which the Board must submit to 
     the Director of USIA, be submitted to Congress but deletes 
     the requirement that the report also be submitted to the 
     Comptroller General.
       The conference substitute deletes all references to RFE/RL 
     in this section in recognition that RFE/RL's and Radio Free 
     Asia's mandates are different and, therefore, that the two 
     broadcast entities should remain independent of each other.
       After reviewing start-up and operating cost estimates for 
     initiating Radio Free Asia and other technical issues, the 
     committee of conference expresses its strong concern that 
     Radio Free Asia may not receive adequate funding in this or 
     future fiscal years and could face significant technical 
     problems that delay initiation of the service in 1995 or 
     thereafter. For this reason, the conferees agree that 
     Congress will have to review this issue again after the 
     Board's submission of the feasibility plan required by this 
     title. If it is apparent that Radio Free Asia, in the form 
     provided by this section, is not feasible, the conferees 
     agree that alternative means for meeting the goals of Radio 
     Free Asia, such as a grant or technical assistance program to 
     non-government organizations for broadcasting purposes, will 
     have to be considered.
       The committee of conference wishes to emphasize its 
     expectation that Radio Free Asia will be a credible source of 
     news and information about developments within the target 
     countries and developments within the East Asian region. The 
     committee of conference underscores that Radio Free Asia is 
     not being created with the objective of broadcasting 
     propaganda. Indeed, the committee of conference expects Radio 
     Free Asia to adopt appropriate editorial policies to ensure 
     the highest professional standards.
       The conferees also expect that the State Department and the 
     USIA will use their best efforts in seeking permission to use 
     U.S. transmission facilities overseas for Radio Free Asia 
     broadcasts.
     Transition
       The Senate amendment (sec. 310) authorizes the transfer of 
     all activities from the Board for International Broadcasting 
     to the USIA, the Board, or the Bureau. The Director of USIA 
     and the Chairman of the Board for International Broadcasting 
     shall prepare a report for the President on implementation of 
     the transition, not later than 120 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act. The report shall include a detailed 
     cost analysis to implement fully the recommendations of such 
     a plan. The plan shall identify all costs in excess of those 
     authorized for the transition and shall provide that all 
     excess costs be derived from the ``salaries and expenses'' 
     account of USIA. The Director of USIA may assign employees of 
     the Agency for service with RFE/RL. All Board for 
     International Broadcasting personnel shall be transferred to 
     the USIA, the Board, or the Bureau. The Board for 
     International Broadcasting Act of 1973 is repealed effective 
     September 30, 1995 or when the Board is appointed, whichever 
     is later. All legal documents which have been issued, made or 
     granted in the performance of functions transferred under 
     this title, and which are in effect at the time this title 
     takes effect, shall continue in effect until modified, 
     terminated, set aside or revoked by the President, the 
     Director of USIA, or other authorized official. The 
     provisions of this title shall not affect any proceeding 
     pending before the Board for International Broadcasting or 
     suits or other proceedings commenced before the effective 
     date of this title. No suit, action, or other proceeding 
     commenced by or against the Board for International 
     Broadcasting shall abate by reason of enactment of this Act.
       The House amendment contains no similar section.
       The conference substitute (sec. 310) modifies the Senate 
     amendment's reporting requirement that directs the Director 
     of USIA and the Chairman of BIB to submit a report to the 
     President describing how the transition will be implemented 
     and further demonstrating how any excess costs associated 
     with the transition are to be derived from funds authorized 
     to the salaries and expenses account (section 201(a)(1)) for 
     USIA. The conference substitute deletes any reference to 
     ``report'' and replaces it with ``plan'' and deletes language 
     requiring the plan to demonstrate how any excess costs 
     associated with the transition are to be derived with funds 
     specifically authorized to USIA's salaries and expenses 
     account. The conference substitute now requires the Director 
     of USIA and the Chairman of BIB to submit a transition plan 
     describing how the transition will be implemented and how 
     excess costs associated with the transition are to be derived 
     from all accounts in Title II (Section 201).
       The committee of conference is concerned that any delay in 
     submitting names to the Senate for confirmation to the 
     Broadcasting Board of Governors, thereby delaying the Board 
     from assuming its authorities under this title, could greatly 
     impede the success of broadcast consolidation. For this 
     reason, the conferees expect that the President shall 
     nominate Board members as promptly as possible and no later 
     than 120 days after the enactment of this Act.
     Preservation of American jobs
       The Senate amendment (sec. 311) contains congressional 
     findings that the consolidation and reorganization of 
     overseas broadcasting should limit, to the maximum extent 
     feasible, the elimination of any United States-based 
     positions and should seek to transfer as many positions to 
     the United States.
       The House amendment contains no similar section.
       The conference substitute (sec. 311) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Privatization of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty
       The Senate amendment (sec. 312) contains congressional 
     findings that funding for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty 
     should be assumed by the private sector not later than 
     December 31, 1999 and that funding for Radio Free Europe and 
     Radio Liberty Research Institute should be assumed by the 
     private sector at the earliest possible time. The President 
     shall submit with his annual budget an analysis and 
     recommendations for achieving these objectives. Not later 
     than 120 days after enactment of the Act, the Board for 
     International Broadcasting, or the Board, if established, 
     shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a 
     report, and periodic reports thereafter, on steps being taken 
     to transfer the RFE/RL Research Institute to the private 
     sector.
       The House bill contains no similar section.
       The conference substitute (sec. 312) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment. The conference substitute provides 
     authority for BIB to provide grants to newly privatized RFE/
     RL Inc. services until September 30, 1995. The committee on 
     conference notes efforts already undertaken by RFE/RL Inc. to 
     terminate the Czech and Polish Broadcast Departments and 
     establish new nonprofit private entities in Warsaw (RWE Inc.) 
     and Prague (RSE Inc.) The committee on the conference expects 
     that the BIB and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) 
     will do everything possible, within available resources, to 
     support this privatization effort. It is not anticipated that 
     the BIB or, if confirmed, the board will make grants to these 
     entities after September 30, 1995.
     Requirement for authorization of appropriation
       The House bill (sec. 218) prohibits the obligation of any 
     funds appropriated for non-military international 
     broadcasting activities unless such funds are appropriated 
     pursuant to an authorization of appropriations. The House 
     bill also prohibits the appropriation of funds for 
     broadcasting that are in excess of the authorized level. This 
     limitation does not apply to the extent that an authorization 
     is enacted after the appropriation of such funds. These 
     provisions may not be superseded, except by a provision of 
     law that specifically repeals, modifies or supersedes the 
     provision. These provisions shall not apply, or affect in any 
     manner, permanent appropriations, trust funds, and other 
     similar accounts authorized by law or administered under U.S. 
     non-military international broadcasting.
       The Senate amendment contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 313) is identical to the 
     House bill, with a technical change to reflect changes made 
     to other provisions of this title.
       The committee of conference notes the potential for cost-
     savings as part of this consolidation plan. The committee of 
     conference notes that the Administration projects the 
     following five year budget for broadcasting activities 
     conducted pursuant to this Act: fiscal year 1995: $637,349--
     1995 authorized amount; fiscal year 1996: $494,627; fiscal 
     year 1997: $500,055; fiscal year 1998: $510,956; fiscal year 
     1999: $522,168. The committee on conference anticipates 
     working closely with the Administration to meet the aggregate 
     savings goals anticipated under these projections. The 
     committee on conference recognizes that delays in authorizing 
     or appropriating needed funding for certain consolidation 
     costs may delay savings in the out-years.
     Report on advertising
       The House bill (sec. 219) requires U.S. Government agencies 
     and entities, which carry out broadcasting with U.S. 
     Government funding, to report to Congress, within a year of 
     enactment of this Act, on efforts to sell advertising. The 
     report shall include information on advertising sold, revenue 
     generated, and an evaluation of future potential advertising.
       The Senate amendment contains no similar provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the Senate 
     position.
     Definitions
       The Senate amendment (sec. 312) provides the following 
     definitions for the purposes of this title: The term 
     ``appropriate congressional committees'' means the Committee 
     on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Appropriations of 
     the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the 
     Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives. 
     The term ``RFE/RL, Incorporated'' includes reference to Radio 
     Free Asia (sec. 307(b)(3)) and alternative grantees to which 
     the Board may choose to award grants (sec. 307(e)). The term 
     ``salary and other compensation'' includes any deferred 
     compensation or pension payments, any payments for expenses 
     for which the recipient is not obligated to itemize, and any 
     payments for personnel services provided to an employee of 
     RFE/RL, Incorporated.
       The House bill contains no similar section.
       The conference substitute (sec. 315) is the same as the 
     Senate amendment except that it deletes section 307 (b)(3) of 
     the Senate amendment that amends RFE/RL's certificate of 
     incorporation to include reference to Radio Free Asia.
     Israel relay station
       The House bill (sec. 217) repeals section 301(c) of the 
     Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 
     1991, terminating the joint BIB/VOA transmitter project in 
     Israel.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 315) repeals section 301(c) 
     of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 
     and 1991, terminating the joint BIB/VOA transmitter project 
     in Israel, repeals section. 503 of PL 80-402, United States 
     Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, and repeals 
     the ``VOA Charter'' which is now incorporated in section    
     of the conference substitute.

 Title IV--International Organizations and United States Participation 
               in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations


       part a--united nations reform and peacekeeping operations

     United Nations Office of Inspector General
       The Senate amendment (section 166) requires that ten 
     percent of funds authorized for U.S. assessed contributions 
     to the United Nations and its specialized agencies be 
     withheld for fiscal year 1994, and twenty percent withheld 
     for fiscal year 1995 and each year thereafter, until the 
     President makes a certification to the Congress. That 
     certification must state the following: that the United 
     Nations has established an independent Inspector General 
     (I.G.) to conduct and supervise audits relating to the 
     programs and operations of the United Nations and each of the 
     specialized agencies of the United Nations; that the 
     Secretary-General has appointed an I.G., with the consent of 
     the General Assembly, solely on the basis of the integrity of 
     that individual and his or her demonstrated ability in 
     relevant fields of expertise; that the I.G. is authorized to 
     make investigations and reports on the United Nations and its 
     specialized agencies, have access to all records and 
     documents, and have direct and prompt access to any official 
     of the United Nations and its specialized agencies; that the 
     I.G. is keeping UN officials, members of the Security 
     Council, and members of the General Assembly fully informed 
     of the I.G.'s findings; that the United Nations has 
     established measures to protect the identity, and prevent 
     reprisals against, any staff member providing information to 
     the I.G.; and that the United Nations has enacted procedures 
     to ensure compliance with the I.G.'s recommendations.
       The Senate amendment further requires (section 170D), for 
     each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 1995, that twenty 
     percent of U.S. assessed contributions for U.N. peacekeeping 
     be withheld until the certification described above is made.
       The House bill (section 194) contains sense of Congress 
     language urging the establishment of an independent I.G. at 
     the United Nations.
       The conference substitute (sec. 401) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment. The substitute withholds 10 per cent from 
     fiscal year 1994 U.S. contributions to the U.N. regular 
     budget, 20 per cent from fiscal year 1995 U.S. contributions 
     to the U.N. regular budget, and 50 per cent from the $670 
     million authorized for supplemental peacekeeping funds for 
     fiscal years 1994 and 1995, subject to a Presidential 
     certification. The President must certify that: (1) the U.N. 
     has established an independent office of Inspector General; 
     (2) the Secretary General has appointed an I.G., with the 
     approval of the General Assembly, based principally on the 
     appointee's integrity and demonstrated expertise in relevant 
     areas; (3) the I.G. is authorized to make investigations and 
     reports, have access to all records and documents, and have 
     direct and prompt access to any U.N. official; (4) the U.N. 
     has procedures in place designed to protect the identity of 
     and reprisals against, U.N. staff who cooperate with the 
     I.G.; (5) the U.N. has procedures in place designed to ensure 
     compliance with I.G. recommendations; and (6) the U.N. has 
     procedures in place to ensure that all annual and other 
     relevant reports submitted by the I.G. are made available to 
     the General Assembly without modification.
       The substitute does not require that the U.N. specialized 
     agencies establish separate I.G.s, and does not require 
     withholding from U.S. contributions to those agencies' 
     budgets. The substitute does state that U.S. representatives 
     to the United Nations should promote complete access by any 
     I.G. established at the U.N. to all records and officials of 
     the U.N. specialized agencies, and should strive to achieve 
     such access no later than fiscal year 1996. Finally, the 
     substitute defines the term ``Inspector General'', for 
     purposes of this part, as the head of an independent office 
     or other independent entity established by the United Nations 
     to conduct and supervise objective audits, inspections, and 
     investigations relating to the programs and operations of the 
     United Nations.
       The committee of conference strongly supports the 
     administration's policy of establishing an independent I.G. 
     for the United Nations and urges it to define the relation of 
     this office to other existing U.N. offices with oversight 
     functions. In addition, the committee of conference supports 
     the administration's efforts to ensure that the entire U.N. 
     system is subject to the appropriate form of Inspector 
     General review. The committee of conference notes that there 
     are legal and technical obstacles to an immediate extension 
     of a central I.G.'s authority to the U.N. specialized 
     agencies. In some cases, those obstacles, sound policy, or 
     the requirements of effective oversight, may suggest that 
     certain agencies retain separate Inspectors General.
       The committee of conference notes that while this Act 
     refers in numerous sections to an ``office of the Inspector 
     General'' at the United Nations, this does not require that 
     such an oversight office established at the United Nations 
     have precisely this title. The committee is aware that the 
     title ``Inspector General'' has negative connotations for 
     many members of the United Nations. The committee's 
     legislative intent is not that such an office be named 
     ``Inspector General'', but that such office have sufficient 
     authority and means to implement effectively a strong 
     oversight role.
       The conference substitute requires that the President 
     certify that the United Nations has procedures in place to 
     ensure that ``all annual and other relevant reports'' 
     submitted by the I.G. are made available to the General 
     Assembly without modification. The committee of conference 
     intends that the phrase ``all relevant reports'' does not 
     include reports on ongoing criminal investigations, or those 
     portions of reports on internal U.N. personnel matters the 
     publication of which would clearly violate an individual's 
     right to privacy. ``Relevant reports'' should include but not 
     be limited to reports that in the I.G.'s judgment should be 
     made available to the General Assembly in order to serve the 
     objective of reducing fraud, waste, theft, malfeasance, and 
     mismanagement at the United Nations.
     United States participation in management of the United 
         Nations
       The Senate amendment (section 167) withholds funds 
     authorized for United States assessed contributions to the 
     United Nations for fiscal year 1995 until the Secretary of 
     State certifies to Congress that the position of Under 
     Secretary-General of the United Nations for Administration 
     and Management is held by a United States citizen as of 
     October 1, 1994. The Senate amendment further provides a 
     waiver for this requirement if certain conditions are met, 
     and states the sense of the Congress that the specified 
     United Nations position should be held by a United States 
     citizen.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 402) states the sense of 
     the Congress that, consistent with the United Nations 
     Charter, United States nationals should have equitable 
     representation at senior management levels in the United 
     Nations system, especially in the Department for 
     Administration and Management and in the office of any 
     independent Inspector General which may be established at the 
     United Nations.
       The committee of conference notes that ``equitable 
     representation'' means representation proportionate to the 
     contribution the United States makes to the U.N. regular 
     budget.
     Sense of the Senate on Department of Defense funding for 
         United Nations peacekeeping operations
       The Senate amendment (section 170D) states the sense of the 
     Senate that as of October 1, 1995, Department of Defense 
     funds shall be available for U.S. assessed or voluntary 
     contributions to U.N. peacekeeping activities, or for the 
     unreimbursable incremental costs associated with U.S. Armed 
     Forces participation in U.N. peacekeeping activities, only to 
     the extent that Congress has authorized, appropriated or 
     otherwise approved funds for such purposes.
       The House bill (section 167) contains sense of Congress 
     language which states that all U.S. military aid, logistical 
     support and in-kind contributions for U.N. peacekeeping 
     should be counted toward the U.S. peacekeeping assessment or 
     should be fully reimbursed.
       The conference substitute (sec. 403) is the same as the 
     Senate amendment.
     Assessed contributions for United Nations peacekeeping 
         operations
       The Senate amendment (section 170C) states that the U.S. 
     Permanent Representative to the United Nations should make 
     every effort to ensure that the United Nations completes a 
     review and reassessment of each nation's assessed 
     contributions for U.N. peacekeeping activities, and should 
     make every effort to obtain agreement by the United Nations 
     to a U.S. assessed contribution for U.N. peacekeeping which 
     is no greater a percentage of such contributions by all 
     countries than the U.S. percentage of assessed contributions 
     for other U.N. activities. The Senate amendment states that 
     Congress declares that, effective for fiscal year 1996, it 
     does not intend to provide funds for U.S. assessed or 
     voluntary contributions for U.N. peacekeeping activities that 
     exceed 25 percent of the total amount of the contributions of 
     all countries for such activities, unless after the date of 
     enactment of this Act the Congress enacts a statute 
     specifically authorizing a greater percentage. The Senate 
     amendment also amends the United Nations Participation Act to 
     add certain reporting requirements on budget matters, and to 
     add definitions to that Act.
       The House bill (sections 163 and 167) contains numerous 
     findings on the costs of U.N. peacekeeping and the level of 
     the U.S. assessment for U.N. peacekeeping, and prohibits the 
     use of funds contained in the Contributions for International 
     Peacekeeping Activities account to pay U.S. assessments for 
     U.N. peacekeeping at a rate higher than 30.4% of the total 
     costs.
       The conference substitute (sec. 404) retains modified 
     Senate language on efforts by the Permanent Representative 
     relating to the U.N. review of peacekeeping assessments. The 
     conference substitute includes the House provision 
     prohibiting payment of the U.S. peacekeeping assessment at a 
     rate higher than 30.4% for fiscal years 1994 and 1995. The 
     conference substitute also prohibits payment at a rate higher 
     than 25% for any fiscal year after fiscal year 1995. Finally, 
     the conference substitute includes reporting requirements in 
     section 407(b) similar to those contained in the Senate 
     amendment.
     United States personnel taken prisoner while serving in 
         peacekeeping forces
       The Senate amendment (section 170E) contains Congressional 
     findings on the failure of U.S. military personnel to receive 
     protection under international law as prisoners of war when 
     captured while serving as part of a peacekeeping operation. 
     The Senate amendment states the sense of the Congress that 
     the President should take immediate steps to assure that U.S. 
     military personnel serving in peacekeeping operations who are 
     captured are accorded the protection accorded to prisoners of 
     war, and should take all steps to bring to justice all 
     individuals responsible for the mistreatment, torture or 
     death of U.S. military personnel who are captured. The Senate 
     amendment contains reporting requirements on the status under 
     international law of members of peacekeeping forces, the risk 
     to U.S. personnel who are captured, and the specific steps 
     taken to protect U.S. military personnel under such 
     circumstances. The Senate amendment also requires reporting 
     on efforts by the United Nations to investigate and take 
     appropriate action in cases of alleged human rights 
     violations committed by U.N. peacekeeping forces.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 405) retains the Senate 
     provision stating the sense of the Congress on this issue, 
     and includes the Senate reporting requirements as part of the 
     annual reports required by section 407(b).
       The committee of conference notes that although United 
     States military personnel have not served in numerous United 
     Nations peacekeeping operations, U.S. personnel serving in 
     such operations nonetheless have been captured, tortured, and 
     murdered, such as Colonel William Higgins in Lebanon. The 
     committee of conference stresses the importance of clarifying 
     the status under international law of personnel serving in 
     U.N. peacekeeping operations.
     Transmittals of United Nations documents
       The Senate amendment (section 170B) amends section 4 of the 
     United Nations Participation Act by adding to that Act a 
     requirement that the United States Permanent Representative 
     to the United Nations transmit to the Congress the text of 
     any resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council 
     relating to United Nations peacekeeping activities as well as 
     any supporting documents, if such resolution would involve 
     the use of United States Armed Forces or the expenditure of 
     United States funds. Such resolutions are to be transmitted 
     not later than 72 hours after adoption by the Security 
     Council, and the Permanent Representative also shall promptly 
     transmit to Congress any report prepared by the United 
     Nations containing assessments of any proposed, ongoing, or 
     concluded United Nations peacekeeping activities. The Senate 
     amendment also amends the United Nations Participation Act to 
     provide additional definitions.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 406) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but expands the resolutions required to be 
     transmitted to all resolutions adopted by the Security 
     Council, and changes the time by which they must be 
     transmitted from 72 hours to three working days. The 
     committee of conference notes that the term ``supporting 
     documents'', as used in this section, includes reports 
     submitted by the Secretary General to the Security Council 
     prior to votes on resolutions in the Security Council which 
     contain proposals, assessments, and recommendations on 
     peacekeeping operations, as well as reports published by 
     other United Nations authorities such as the General Assembly 
     and its constituent organs that are available prior to a vote 
     in the Security Council.
     Consultations and reports
       The Senate amendment contains several notification and 
     reporting requirements.
       The Senate amendment (section 1501) requires that at least 
     fifteen days before (1) any obligation of funds for U.S. 
     participation in international peace operations, or (2) any 
     vote by the Security Council to take action under Article 42 
     of the U.N. Charter which would involve the use of U.S. Armed 
     Forces, the President shall submit to Congress a report 
     containing a cost assessment of the participation of U.S. 
     Armed Forces in those operations. Section 1501 also provides 
     a waiver of the 15 day reporting requirement if the President 
     determines that an emergency exists which prevents submission 
     of the report in a timely manner.
       The Senate amendment (section 1502) requires that at least 
     fifteen days before any U.S. Government agency makes 
     available armed forces, assistance, or facilities to the 
     United Nations under Article 43 of the U.N. Charter, the 
     President shall so notify Congress. Section 1502 also 
     provides a waiver of the 15 day reporting requirement if the 
     President determines that an emergency exists which prevents 
     making a notification in a timely manner.
       The Senate amendment (Section 1503) requires that not later 
     than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, and 
     each year thereafter at the time of the President's budget 
     submission to Congress, the Secretary of State shall submit 
     to Congress a report on U.S. contributions to U.N. 
     peacekeeping activities. Such report shall include (1) the 
     overall cost of all peacekeeping operations as of the date of 
     the report, (2) the costs of each peacekeeping operation, (3) 
     the amount of U.S. contributions (assessed and voluntary) on 
     an operation by operation basis, and (4) an assessment of the 
     effectiveness of ongoing peacekeeping operations, their 
     relevance to U.S. national interests, efforts by the United 
     Nations to resolve relevant armed conflicts, and the 
     projected termination dates for such operations.
       The Senate amendment (section 1504) contains detailed 
     Congressional findings and sense of Congress language on U.S. 
     participation in U.N. peacekeeping operations and the need 
     for consultation between the executive branch and the 
     Congress when U.S. armed forces participate in such 
     operations.
       The Senate amendment also contains reporting requirements 
     on discretionary withholding of U.S. assessments (section 
     165), U.N. peacekeeping funding issues (section 170C), 
     treatment of U.S. personnel taken prisoner while serving in 
     peacekeeping operations (section 170E), human rights 
     observance in U.N. peacekeeping activities (section 170E), 
     and access of U.S. contractors to U.N. peacekeeping contracts 
     (section 190).
       The House bill contains no comparable provisions.
       The conference substitute (sec. 407) modifies and 
     consolidates reporting and notification requirements 
     contained throughout the House bill and the Senate amendment.
       Section 407(a)(1) through (4) of the conference substitute 
     establishes consultation procedures, and information and 
     reporting requirements. It requires that the President 
     consult with designated congressional committees each month 
     on the status of U.N. peacekeeping operations. In connection 
     with these consultations, certain information shall be 
     provided each month to those committees. In the case of 
     ongoing peacekeeping operations, the required information 
     includes: a list of all U.N. Security Council resolutions 
     anticipated to be voted on during that month which would 
     extend or change the mandate of any U.N. peacekeeping 
     operation; for each such operation, any changes in the 
     duration, mandate, and command and control arrangements that 
     are anticipated as a result of the resolution's adoption; an 
     estimate of the total cost to the U.N., and an estimate of 
     the amount of that cost that will be assessed to the U.S., 
     for each such operation for the period covered by the 
     resolution; and, any anticipated significant changes and the 
     estimated costs to the U.S. of such changes, in U.S. 
     participation in or support for each such operation during 
     the period covered by the resolution. The list of Security 
     Council Resolutions and the cost estimates must be provided 
     in written form to the designated congressional committees no 
     later than the tenth day of that month. With respect to each 
     new U.N. peacekeeping operation anticipated to be authorized 
     by a Security Council resolution during that month, the 
     required information includes (for the period covered by the 
     Security Council resolution): the anticipated duration, 
     mandate, and command and control arrangements of such 
     operation; an estimate of the total cost to the U.N. of the 
     operation, and an estimate of the amount of that cost that 
     will be assessed to the U.S.; and, a description of the 
     functions that would be performed by any U.S. Armed Forces 
     participating in or otherwise operating in support of the 
     operation, an estimate of the number of members of the Armed 
     Forces that will participate in or otherwise operate in 
     support of the operation, and an estimate of the cost to the 
     U.S. of such participation or support. Information on the 
     first two categories of information must be provided in 
     written form to the designated congressional committees no 
     later than the tenth day of that month. If, during the period 
     between the required monthly consultations, the United States 
     learns that the U.N. Security Council is likely to vote on a 
     resolution authorizing a new U.N. peacekeeping operation that 
     was not previously reported, the President must submit to the 
     designated congressional committees a written interim report. 
     The report shall include information on the anticipated 
     duration, mandate, and command and control arrangements of 
     such operation and an estimate of the total costs to the U.N. 
     and the U.S. of the operation. The written interim report 
     must be submitted not less than five days before the vote of 
     the Security Council, unless the President determines that 
     exceptional circumstances prevented compliance with the five 
     day advance reporting requirement. In that case, the interim 
     report shall be submitted promptly (but in no case later than 
     three days after the vote) and must include the determination 
     and a description of the exceptional circumstances that were 
     the basis of the determination.
       Section 407(a)(5) establishes prior notification 
     requirements for U.S. assistance to the United Nations. The 
     President must notify designated congressional committees at 
     least 15 days before the United States provides any 
     assistance to the United Nations to support peacekeeping 
     operations, when that assistance exceeds $3 million in 
     nonreimbursable assistance or $14 million in reimbursable 
     assistance. This prior notification requirement does not 
     apply to assistance provided to the United Nations for 
     peacekeeping operations under the emergency drawdown 
     authority of sections 506(a)(1) and 552(c)(2) of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961. The conference substitute further 
     requires the President to submit quarterly reports on all 
     assistance provided by the United States to the United 
     Nations during the preceding calendar quarter to support 
     peacekeeping operations. Each report must describe the 
     assistance provided for each such operation, listed by 
     category of assistance. The report for the fourth calendar 
     quarter of each year shall be submitted as part of the annual 
     report required elsewhere in this Act and shall include 
     cumulative information for the preceding calendar year.
       The committee of conference notes that these prior 
     notification and reporting requirements are established to 
     enhance congressional understanding of the full range of 
     support provided by the United States to the United Nations 
     for peacekeeping operations. The committee of conference does 
     not wish to limit unduly the President's flexibility to 
     provide such assistance and has therefore established 
     thresholds of assistance to be notified in advance of $3 
     million for grant assistance and $14 million for reimbursable 
     assistance. The committee of conference likewise does not 
     intend that the quarterly, retrospective reports on 
     assistance provided to U.N. peacekeeping operations include 
     temporary duty assignments of U.S. personnel in support of 
     peacekeeping operations of less than twenty personnel in any 
     one case, or less than $100,000 in financial assistance. The 
     committee is prepared to alter these thresholds based on 
     experience.
       The conference substitute also requires the President to 
     submit an annual report to Congress on a wide range of 
     issues, pursuant to section 407(b) of the substitute.
       On funding issues, the information required in the annual 
     report includes: a description of all U.S. assistance 
     provided to the United Nations to support peacekeeping 
     operations during the previous calendar quarter and during 
     the previous year; for both United Nations and other 
     multinational peacekeeping, the aggregate cost of all such 
     operations for the prior fiscal year, the cost of each 
     operation for the prior fiscal year, and the amount of U.S. 
     contributions (both assessed and voluntary) on an operation 
     by operation basis for the prior fiscal year; a projection of 
     U.S. costs for U.N. peacekeeping activities for fiscal years 
     1996 and 1997; an assessment of the effectiveness of ongoing 
     peacekeeping operations; and the dollar value and percentage 
     of total peacekeeping contracts awarded by the U.N. to U.S. 
     contractors during the previous year.
       The substitute also requires annual reporting on U.N. 
     reform issues, including: the status of efforts to establish 
     and implement an independent Inspector General; if an I.G. 
     has been established, a discussion of whether that official 
     is keeping the Secretary General and the members of the 
     General Assembly fully informed of the I.G's activities; the 
     status of efforts to reduce the U.S. peacekeeping assessment 
     rate; and the status of other U.S. efforts to achieve 
     financial and management reform at the United Nations.
       The substitute requires annual reporting on the status 
     under international law of members of multinational forces, 
     the extent of risk for U.S. military personnel captured while 
     participating in such forces, and the specific steps that 
     have been taken to protect U.S. military personnel 
     participating in such forces, including any recommendations 
     for legislative action.
       Finally, the substitute requires a description of the 
     efforts by the United Nations peacekeeping forces to promote 
     and protect internationally recognized human rights 
     standards, including the status of investigations in any case 
     of alleged human rights violations during the preceding year 
     by personnel participating in United Nations peacekeeping 
     forces, as well as any action taken in such cases.
     Transfers of excess defense articles for international 
         peacekeeping operations
       The conference substitute (section 408) amends the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, to add a new section 520 
     which grants the President the authority to transfer to 
     international and regional organizations of which the United 
     States is a member such excess defense articles as the 
     President determines necessary to support international 
     peacekeeping operations and other activities.
       The conference substitute specifies that the President may 
     not provide any excess defense articles (EDA) to 
     international or regional organizations until the United 
     States has entered into a written agreement with that 
     organization providing that the value of any excess defense 
     articles transferred under this section shall be credited 
     against U.S. assessed contributions to that organization.
       The conference substitute also establishes a procedure 
     under which both the State Department and the Defense 
     Department may receive credits against U.S. assessed 
     contributions for U.N. peacekeeping operations. Any credits 
     provided as a result of this new authority shall be counted 
     against U.S. assessed contributions that are payable from the 
     State Department's ``Contribution to International 
     Peacekeeping Activities'' account, unless an account is 
     established within the Department of Defense for payment of a 
     portion of U.S. assessed contributions for U.N. peacekeeping 
     operations. If such an account is established, EDA is 
     transferred under this section for a U.N. peacekeeping 
     operation, and the U.S. assessed contribution for that 
     operation is payable from that account, then the credit for 
     those excess defense articles shall be counted against DOD's 
     portion of U.S. assessments (until the value of the articles 
     transferred exceeds the amount payable from DOD's account, at 
     which point any excess credits shall apply to the State 
     Department's account).
       The conference substitute establishes limitations on EDA 
     transfers under this new section comparable to those 
     applicable to other authorities which permit the transfer of 
     grant EDA, including a requirement that the President 
     establish procedures comparable to those applicable under 
     section 505 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as 
     amended, which ensure those articles will be used only for 
     purposes that have been agreed to by the United States.
       The conference substitute requires that EDA transfers under 
     this section be notified to designated congressional 
     committees not less than 15 days before the transfer occurs, 
     unless the President determines that an unforeseen emergency 
     requires the immediate transfer of EDA under this section. In 
     that case, the President shall promptly notify the designated 
     congressional committees of such waiver and transfer. The 
     term ``designated congressional committees'' is defined, as 
     used in this subsection, as the Committee on Foreign Affairs, 
     the Committee on Armed Services, and the Committee on 
     Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Foreign Relations, the Committee on Armed 
     Services, and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate.
       The conference substitute also provides authorities 
     relating to transportation and related costs of EDA as well 
     as a waiver of the requirements for reimbursement of DOD 
     expenses pursuant to section 632(a) of the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961, as amended.
       In crafting this new authority, the committee of conference 
     has attempted to establish a procedure for crediting U.S. 
     peacekeeping assessments which meets both the spirit and the 
     letter of the administration's concept of shared 
     responsibility between the Departments of State and Defense 
     for international peacekeeping matters.
       The committee of conference emphasizes its clear and 
     unequivocal intent that the U.S. government shall not provide 
     any excess defense articles to an international or regional 
     organization without first securing a written agreement which 
     specifies not only the amount of the credit the U.S. is to 
     receive against U.S. assessed contributions as a result of 
     such transfers, but which also includes provisions which are 
     comparable to those under section 505 of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (regarding requisite end-
     use, retransfer and security agreements) and such other 
     procedures and requirements that the President believes 
     necessary to ensure that the excess defense articles are 
     being used only for the purposes agreed to by the United 
     States.
       The conference committee further intends that the use of 
     term ``value (as defined in section 644(m)(1))'' throughout 
     this section is to be interpreted by the executive branch to 
     mean ``current value'' as currently used in congressional 
     notifications required under sections 516 through 519 of the 
     Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended.
     Reform in the budget decisionmaking procedures of the United 
         Nations and its specialized agencies
       The Senate amendment (sec. 165) authorizes the President to 
     withhold 20% of the funds appropriated for assessed 
     contributions to the United Nations or to any of its 
     specialized agencies for any calendar year if the United 
     Nations or any of its specialized agencies has failed to 
     implement or continued to implement consensus-based 
     decisionmaking procedures on budgetary matters which assure 
     that sufficient attention is paid to the views of the United 
     States and other member states that are major financial 
     contributors. The Senate amendment also requires that the 
     President notify Congress when a decision is made to withhold 
     any share of U.S. assessed contributions to the United 
     Nations or its specialized agencies pursuant to this section 
     and authorizes payment of prior year assessed contributions 
     if such payment would further U.S. interests in that 
     organization. The Senate amendment also requires the 
     President to submit a report not later than February 1 of 
     each year concerning payment of assessed contributions to the 
     United Nations or any of its specialized agencies in the 
     preceding calendar year. Finally, the Senate amendment 
     repeals similar provisions contained in the Foreign Relations 
     Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993.
       The House bill (sec. 163) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 410) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment.
     Permanent members of the U.N. Security Council
       The Senate amendment (sec. 170A) expresses the sense of the 
     Senate that the United States should, in principle, support 
     the efforts of Japan and Germany to become permanent members 
     of the United Nations Security Council.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     U.N. Security Council membership
       The Senate amendment (sec. 162) contains congressional 
     findings regarding the use of informal regional groups as the 
     sole means for election of the nonpermanent members of the 
     United Nations Security Council, which has resulted in 
     discrimination against Israel, and expresses the sense of the 
     Congress that the Secretary of State should request the 
     Secretary General of the United Nations to seek immediate 
     resolution of this problem. The Senate amendment also 
     requires the President to inform Congress at the time of the 
     annual budget submission of any progress in resolving this 
     situation.
       The House bill (sec. 184) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 411) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Reforms in the World Health Organization
       The Senate amendment (sec. 163) expresses the sense of 
     Congress with respect to the use of U.S. contributions to the 
     World Health Organization and requires the President to 
     direct the U.S. representatives to the World Health Assembly, 
     the Executive Board, and the World Health Organization (WHO) 
     to monitor the activities of WHO to ensure that such 
     organization achieve the timely implementation of reforms and 
     management improvements and the effective and efficient 
     utilization of resources. The Senate amendment also requires 
     the Secretary of State to submit a report not later than 180 
     days after enactment of this act assessing WHO's progress in 
     implementing management reforms.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 412) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but deletes the reporting requirement.
     Reforms in the Food and Agriculture Organization
       The House bill (sec. 185) expresses the sense of the 
     Congress that the United States should use the opportunity of 
     the 1993 election of a new Director General of the Food and 
     Agriculture Organization (FAO) to press for organizational 
     and management reform and that it should be the policy of the 
     United States to promote specific reforms in the FAO, 
     including decentralization of the administrative structure, 
     reform of the FAO Council, limitations on the term of the 
     Director General, and restructuring of the Technical 
     Cooperation Program.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 413) is similar to the 
     House bill, but deletes the reference to the 1993 elections 
     and includes a statement of policy that the United States 
     should, to the extent practicable, utilize existing personnel 
     programs, such as the Department of Agriculture's Associate 
     Professional Officer program, to place U.S. personnel with 
     unique skills in the FAO.
     Adherence to the United Nations Charter
       The House bill (sec. 195) expresses the sense of the 
     Congress that the President should seek an assurance from the 
     Secretary General of the United Nations that the United 
     Nations will comply with Article 100 of the U.N. Charter, 
     that neither the U.N. Secretary General nor his staff should 
     seek or receive instructions from any government or from any 
     other authority external to the United Nations, and that the 
     President should report to Congress when he receives such 
     assurance from the Secretary General.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 414) is identical to the 
     House bill.
     Designated congressional committees
       The Senate amendment in numerous sections defined 
     ``appropriate committees'' to be notified on various United 
     Nations and peacekeeping issues.
       The House bill contains no comparable provisions.
       The conference substitute (sec. 415) states that, for 
     purpose of this part, the term ``designated congressional 
     committees'' means the Committee on Appropriations and the 
     Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the 
     Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on Foreign 
     Affairs of the House of Representatives.


    Part B--General Provisions and Other International Organizations

     Agreement on State and local taxation
       The Senate amendment (sec. 740) authorizes the President to 
     bring into force for the United States the Agreement on State 
     and Local Taxation of Foreign Employees of Public 
     International Organizations which exempts certain employees 
     of international organizations located in the United States 
     from payment of state and local income taxes.
       The House bill (sec. 162) is similar.
       The conference substitute (sec. 421) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
       It is the intention of the committee of conference that a 
     state that has not previously imposed its income tax on non 
     U.S. citizen employees of international organizations may not 
     impose such tax on such employees in the future. It is also 
     the intention of the committee that any state that has 
     previously imposed its income tax on such employees may not 
     impose such tax on such employees for any tax year beginning 
     after December 31, 1993. It is also the intention of the 
     committee that no state that has previously imposed its 
     income tax on such employees shall be required to refund to 
     such employees any such taxes collected with respect to tax 
     years ending on or before December 31, 1993.
     Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe
       The Senate amendment (sec. 739) authorizes the President to 
     implement Annex 1 of the Conference on Security and 
     Cooperation in Europe's Council of Ministers Decision 
     concerning Legal Capacities and Privileges and Immunities.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 422) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     International Boundary and Water Commission
       The House bill (sec. 164) authorizes the U.S. Commissioner 
     to the International Boundary and Water Commission to receive 
     payments of money from public or private sources in the 
     United States or Mexico made for the purpose of sharing in 
     the cost of replacement of the Bridge of the Americas. Such 
     payments will be credited to the appropriation currently 
     available to the Commission. This authority may be exercised 
     only to the extent or in such amounts as are provided in 
     advance in appropriations acts. The House bill also expands 
     the authority of the International Boundary and Water 
     Commission to take emergency actions to protect against 
     health-threatening surface and ground water pollution 
     problems along the U.S.-Mexico boundary. Finally, the House 
     bill creates the Falcon and Amistad Operating and Maintenance 
     Fund, to be administered by the Administrator of the Western 
     Area Power Administration, for use by the U.S. Commissioner 
     of the International Boundary and Water Commission to defray 
     operation, maintenance, and emergency costs for the 
     hydroelectric facilities at the Falcon and Amistad dams. 
     Revenues collected in connection with the generation of 
     electric power at the Falcon and Amistad dams would be 
     deposited in the U.S. Treasury, to be used to fund operation 
     and maintenance expenses.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 171) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 423) is virtually identical 
     to the House bill, but clarifies that emergency actions to 
     address health-threatening surface and ground water pollution 
     problems should be taken consistent with the Safe Drinking 
     Water Act.
     Sewage treatment along the United States-Mexico border
       The Senate amendment (sec. 764) authorizes the Secretary of 
     State, acting through the U.S. Commissioner to the 
     International Boundary and Water Commission, to enter into an 
     agreement with the Government of Mexico to address pollution 
     problems from sewage originating in Mexico and specifies the 
     types of recommendations to be included in such an agreement. 
     The Senate amendment also allows the Secretary of State, 
     through the U.S. Commissioner, to act jointly with the 
     Government of Mexico to supervise the planning, construction, 
     operation, and maintenance of a sewage treatment works 
     specified in the agreement. The Secretary of State shall 
     consult with the Administrator of the Environmental 
     Protection Agency and other appropriate U.S. Government 
     agencies in carrying out this section. The Senate amendment 
     also requires the Secretary to submit an annual report on the 
     implementation of this section.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position. The committee of conference notes that the 
     International Boundary and Water Commission already has 
     sufficient authority to carry out the project required by the 
     Senate amendment. In addition, the committee of conference 
     notes that the Border Environmental Commission established 
     under the implementing legislation for the North American 
     Free Trade Agreement will be responsible for oversight of 
     border projects addressing environmental problems.
     Membership in the International Copper Study Group
       The Senate amendment (sec. 743) authorizes the President to 
     maintain U.S. membership in the International Copper Study 
     Group (ICSG) and allows the U.S. assessed contribution to the 
     ICSG to be paid from funds appropriated for contributions to 
     international organizations.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 425) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     International Union for the Conservation of Nature and 
         Natural Resources
       The Senate amendment (sec. 173) designates the 
     International Union for the Conservation of Nature and 
     Natural Resources (IUCN) as an international organization for 
     purposes of the International Organizations Immunities Act.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 426) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
       The committee of conference notes that the conference 
     substitute is intended to grant limited coverage to the IUCN 
     for three purposes. The first is to ensure the IUCN's tax-
     exempt status in the United States with respect to both state 
     and Federal taxes. The committee of conference notes that 
     this does not extend to the IUCN a status it does not already 
     enjoy. IUCN is recognized by the Federal and District 
     Governments as a non-profit organization and, as such, is 
     exempt from taxation. The second purpose of the conference 
     substitute is to allow IUCN the benefits of the International 
     Organizations Immunities Act with respect to the hiring of 
     foreign nationals. As an international organization, the IUCN 
     frequently has call to bring to the United States individuals 
     who work at its offices overseas. The conference substitute 
     would facilitate such hiring. The third purpose of the 
     conference substitute is to facilitate IUCN's ability to work 
     with Federal agencies. The committee of conference does not 
     intend for the conference substitute to be used as a basis 
     for extending to the IUCN and its employees immunity from 
     civil or criminal prosecution.
     Inter-American organizations
       The Senate amendment (sec. 174) contains a congressional 
     finding and expresses the sense of Congress that the 
     Secretary of State, in allocating resource levels for 
     international organizations, should pay particular attention 
     to funding levels of inter-American organizations.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 427) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment, but deletes the finding.
     International Coffee Organization
       The Senate amendment (sec. 175) prohibits the use of funds 
     authorized by this or any other act to pay any U.S. 
     contribution to the International Coffee Organization.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 428) prohibits the use of 
     funds authorized by this act to pay any U.S. contribution to 
     the International Coffee Organization. The committee of 
     conference notes that the United States has already withdrawn 
     from the International Coffee Organization.
     International Jute Organization
       The Senate amendment (sec. 175) prohibits the use of funds 
     authorized by this or any other act to pay any U.S. 
     contribution to the International Jute Organization.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 429) prohibits the use of 
     funds authorized by this act to pay any U.S. contribution to 
     the International Jute Organization.
     Migration and refugee amendments
       The House bill (sec. 183) amends the Migration and Refugee 
     Assistance Act of 1962 to reflect the current name of the 
     International Organization for Migration, to indicate that 
     the President is authorized to continue membership in the 
     International Organization for Migration, and to raise the 
     ceiling on the emergency refugee and migration assistance 
     fund from $50 million to $100 million.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 181) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 430) is identical to the 
     House bill.
     Withholding of United States contribution for certain 
         international organizations
       The House bill (sec. 102(e)(3)) authorizes to be 
     appropriated for the United Nations Development Program 
     (UNDP) $101,929,000 for each of the fiscal years 1994 and 
     1995. The House bill also restricts funds made available for 
     UNDP in fiscal years 1994 and 1995 from being available for 
     programs and activities in Burma. In addition, of the funds 
     authorized for each of 1994 and 1995, the bill makes 
     $7,000,000 available only if the President certifies that 
     UNDP's programs and activities in Burma promote the enjoyment 
     of internationally guaranteed human rights by the members of 
     all the ethnic groups in Burma and do not benefit the State 
     Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) military regime.
       The Senate amendment contained no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 431) amends section 307 of 
     the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, withholding the voluntary 
     United States proportionate share for certain programs of 
     international organizations. Under this provision any 
     voluntary United States contribution to an international 
     organization must be reduced by the proportionate United 
     States share of such organization's activities carried out in 
     specified countries. The purpose of the provision is to 
     insure that no United States funds are used to conduct 
     activities in cooperation with these states. The conference 
     substitute strikes reference to the South-West Africa 
     People's Organization and inserts Burma, Iraq, North Korea, 
     and Syria in the list of countries in section 307. The 
     conference substitute excepts contributions to the 
     International Atomic Energy Agency and UNICEF from the 
     limitation on funds. This provision embodies concerns about 
     the uses, not only in Burma but also in Iraq, North Korea and 
     Syria, of funds contributed to international organizations 
     and emphasizes the concerns of the committee of conference 
     regarding the brutal nature of these states.
       The committee of conference expresses particular concern 
     that, while international organizations must deal with state 
     parties, their activities in particular countries tend to 
     lend the appearance of legitimacy to regimes which are not 
     supported by a majority of the population. Resources for 
     international organizations are in critically short supply 
     and they should, therefore, be concentrated on programs 
     developed in cooperation with governments which enjoy the 
     support of the population and which are responsive to the 
     genuine needs of the people.
       The conference substitute (sec. 431) also retains the 
     restriction that funds available for the UNDP and UNDP-
     administered funds for fiscal years 1994 and 1995 may not be 
     available for programs and activities in Burma. The 
     conference substitute also provides that of the funds 
     available for fiscal year 1994, $11,000,000 is made available 
     only if the President certifies that the UNDP programs and 
     activities in Burma promote the enjoyment of internationally 
     guaranteed human rights by all persons in Burma and do not 
     benefit the SLORC military regime. Finally, the conference 
     substitute provides that of the funds available for fiscal 
     year 1995, $27,600,000 is available only if the President 
     certifies one of the following: (a) that UNDP has approved or 
     initiated no new programs or new funding for existing 
     programs in Burma since June 1993; (b) that new programs that 
     are introduced address unforeseen urgent humanitarian 
     concerns; or (c) that a democratically elected government in 
     Burma has agreed to such programs.
       The committee of conference intends that section 431(b)(1) 
     of the conference substitute affect programs and activities 
     financed by the funds made available for fiscal years 1994 
     and 1995 while sections 431(b) (2) and (3) of the conference 
     substitute affect programs also financed by funds made 
     available for prior years, if such programs do not meet the 
     certification requirements.
       As applied to Burma, both section 431(a) and section 431(b) 
     reflect the concern of the committee of conference that UNDP 
     programs in Burma have been abused by the SLORC for the 
     purpose of attempting to create an appearance of legitimacy, 
     and strengthen its hold over Burma, including building 
     infrastructure which was useful in its brutal military 
     campaigns against ethnic minorities. The committee of 
     conference has grave concerns that under the SLORC the UNDP 
     can design and implement programs which avoid these problems. 
     The committee of conference strongly encourages all 
     international organizations to cooperate with the 
     internationally recognized winners of the 1990 elections in 
     Burma, and less with the SLORC military regime which failed 
     to honor the election results and which has remained in power 
     solely through force and repression.
       Because of these concerns, under section 431(a) of the 
     conference substitute, the United States voluntary 
     contribution to UNDP must be reduced by the United States 
     proportionate share of any UNDP program in Burma, 
     notwithstanding any certification provided to the Congress 
     under section 431(b). If, however, the President cannot make 
     the certifications required in section 431(b), even deeper, 
     specified reductions of $11,000,000 and $27,600,000 must be 
     made in the United States contributions to UNDP in fiscal 
     years 1994 and 1995.
       In adopting the position that the deeper reduction of 
     fiscal year 1995 funds otherwise mandated by section 431(b) 
     may be avoided under the certification provision, the 
     committee of conference recognizes that notwithstanding the 
     proportionate reduction required under section 431(a), UNDP 
     might choose to provide limited and carefully controlled 
     assistance to address unforeseen urgent humanitarian 
     concerns, such as providing support for a voluntary, 
     internationally accepted resettlement of refugees from 
     Bangladesh which is fully consistent with international 
     refugee standards and monitored by the United Nations High 
     Commissioner for Refugees. In addition, the committee of 
     conference substitute does not mandate the specified deep 
     reduction in 1995 funds if UNDP activities in Burma are 
     expressly approved, officially or unofficially, by a 
     democratically elected government of Burma. This may occur if 
     a democratic government takes office in Burma or if new UNDP 
     programs or new funding for programs are approved by the 
     internationally recognized winners of the 1990 elections in 
     Burma.

                        Title V--Foreign Policy

     U.S. policy concerning overseas assistance to refugees and 
         displaced persons
       The House bill (sec. 187) establishes comprehensive 
     standards for addressing the needs of women and children 
     refugees and calls for the Department of State to pursue full 
     implementation of the 1991 United Nations High Commissioner 
     for Refugees (UNHCR) Guidelines on the Protection of Refugee 
     Women. The House bill also requires the Secretary of State to 
     adopt specific procedures to ensure that all organizations 
     that receive U.S. refugee and migration assistance funds 
     implement these standards.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 182) is similar.
       The conference substitute (sec. 501) is similar to the 
     House bill, but makes some technical and clarifying changes.
     Interparliamentary exchanges
       The House bill (sec. 186) reduces the two-year 
     authorization for the U.S.-Canada Interparliamentary Exchange 
     by $20,000 and increases the two-year authorization for the 
     U.S.-Mexico Interparliamentary Exchange by $20,000. The House 
     bill also allows funds appropriated for interparliamentary 
     exchanges to be deposited in interest bearing accounts and 
     directs that interest earned on those funds be periodically 
     deposited in the U.S. Treasury.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 183) is virtually identical.
       The conference substitute (sec. 502) is identical to the 
     House bill.
     Food as a human right
       The House bill (sec. 196) requires the United States, in 
     accordance with its international obligations, to promote 
     increased respect internationally for the rights to food and 
     medical care and requires that the Assistant Secretary 
     responsible for human rights and humanitarian affairs shall 
     also be responsible for promoting increased respect 
     internationally for those rights. The House bill also 
     expresses the sense of Congress that a major effort should be 
     made to strengthen the right to food in international law and 
     toward that end, the Secretary of State, through the U.S. 
     Representative to the United Nations, should propose to the 
     United Nations General Assembly that a declaration and 
     convention concerning the right to food be adopted and 
     submitted to the countries of the world for ratification.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 503) is similar to the 
     House bill, but urges the United States to promote increased 
     respect internationally for the rights to food and medical 
     care, and deletes references to an international convention 
     on such rights.
     Transparency in armaments
       The House bill (sec. 191) expresses the sense of Congress 
     that no sale of defense articles or services should be made, 
     and no license issued for the export of such articles or 
     services, and no agreement to transfer such articles or 
     services in any way, should be made to any nation that does 
     not fully furnish all pertinent data to the U.N. Register of 
     Conventional Arms. The House bill also expresses the sense of 
     Congress that if a nation has not submitted the required 
     information by the reporting date in any given year, but 
     subsequently notifies the U.N. that it intends to provide 
     that information before the next reporting date, agreements 
     may be negotiated with that country for the provision of such 
     articles or services, but actual delivery should not occur 
     until such nation submits the required information.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 504) is similar to the 
     House bill, but also expresses the sense of the Congress that 
     the President should seek to restart the Perm-5 talks on 
     guidelines for conventional arms sales to the developing 
     world.
     Revitalization of the ``Permanent Five'' process
       The House bill (sec. 192) contains congressional findings 
     regarding the Perm-5 talks on guidelines for conventional 
     arms sales to the developing world and expresses the sense of 
     the Congress that the President should seek to restart the 
     Perm-5 talks.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the Senate 
     position. The committee of conference notes that the 
     operative clauses of section 192 of the House bill are 
     incorporated in section 504 of the conference substitute.
     Report on the impact of conventional weapons proliferation
       The House bill (sec. 193) amends section 36(b) of the Arms 
     Export Control Act to require that each certification 
     required for letters of offer to sell any defense articles or 
     services for $50 million or more, any design and construction 
     services for $200 million or more, or any major defense 
     equipment for $14 million or more, provide an evaluation of 
     the manner in which the proposed sale would meet legitimate 
     defense needs of the foreign country or international 
     organization to which the sale would be made, increase 
     regional tensions or instability, or introduce new or more 
     sophisticated military capabilities into the region.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the Senate 
     position.
     Inspector General Act
       The Senate amendment (sec. 189) expresses the sense of the 
     Senate that the issue of amending the Inspector General Act 
     to establish term limits for Inspectors General should be 
     examined and considered as soon as possible by the 
     appropriate committees of jurisdiction.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 505) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Implementing legislation for Torture Convention
       The Senate amendment (sec. 705) amends title 18 of the 
     United States Code to establish criminal penalties for 
     persons committing or attempting to commit torture outside 
     the United States. United States jurisdiction over this 
     prohibited activity shall apply if the alleged offender is a 
     national of the United States or if the alleged offender is 
     present in the United States, irrespective of the nationality 
     of the victim or alleged offender.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 506) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     International claims settlement
       The Senate amendment (sec. 711) amends the International 
     Claims Settlement Act of 1949 to add a new section which 
     allows the release of funds on deposit in U.S. banks that 
     have been blocked under the International Emergency Economic 
     Powers Act in accounts of foreign banks that issued or 
     confirmed letters of credit for the benefit of U.S. 
     nationals, to pay such letters of credit if the U.S. 
     beneficiaries lawfully shipped goods or otherwise performed 
     underlying contractual obligations based on such letters of 
     credit before the declaration of a national emergency 
     pursuant to IEEPA.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
       The committee of conference notes that the House will be 
     considering the Iraqi Claims Act of 1993 during the upcoming 
     session. That legislation addresses the system by which 
     claims against frozen Iraqi assets will be paid.
     U.S. policy toward Iraq
       The Senate amendment (sec. 708) contains congressional 
     findings and expresses the sense of the Congress that the 
     President should encourage the United Nations Security 
     Council to reaffirm its support for the people of northern 
     Iraq and consider selectively lifting the embargo on those 
     areas, advocate a unified, democratic Iraq, takes steps to 
     design a multilateral assistance program for the Kurds, and 
     intensify discussions with the Government of Turkey on these 
     matters.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 507) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but deletes the findings, changes the focus 
     of the provision from Iraqi Kurdistan to policy toward Iraq, 
     and adds provisions calling on the President to encourage the 
     United Nations Security Council to maintain the embargo 
     against the Iraqi regime, consider extending protection to 
     the marsh Arabs of southern Iraq, and pursue prosecution of 
     Iraqi officials for war crimes. The conference substitute 
     also calls upon the President to continue to support the 
     territorial integrity of Iraq and encourage the provision of 
     humanitarian assistance to people fleeing the marshes in 
     southern Iraq. Finally the conference substitute deletes 
     provisions from the Senate amendment detailing the type of 
     multilateral assistance envisioned for the Kurds.
     High level visits to Taiwan
       The Senate amendment (sec. 720) expresses the sense of 
     Congress that the executive branch should send cabinet-level 
     U.S. officials on missions to Taiwan to promote U.S. 
     interests and to ensure the continued success of U.S. 
     business in Taiwan and that the President should take steps 
     to show clear U.S. support for Taiwan both in bilateral 
     relationships and multilateral organizations of which the 
     United States is a member.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 508) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment. The committee of conference urges the 
     executive branch to take this into consideration as it 
     completes its interagency review of Taiwan policy.
     Report on economic relations with Taiwan
       The Senate amendment (sec. 707) requires the President to 
     submit an annual report on U.S. economic relations with 
     Taiwan.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Transfer of obsolete war reserve stockpiles
       The Senate amendment (section 722) provides for the 
     transfer of certain obsolete or surplus defense articles in 
     the war reserve allies stockpile to the Republic of Korea. 
     The Senate amendment specifies the authorities through which 
     the Secretary of Defense is authorized to transfer obsolete 
     and surplus war reserve stockpiles to the Republic of Korea 
     and specifies that acceptable concessions that must be agreed 
     to in association with the transfer of obsolete or surplus 
     war reserve stockpiles to the Republic of Korea. The Senate 
     amendment also requires thirty day prior notification to 
     Congress of any proposed transfer of obsolete or surplus war 
     reserve stockpiles to the Republic of Korea and sunsets the 
     authority to transfer obsolete or surplus war reserve 
     stockpiles to the Republic of Korea two years after the date 
     of enactment of this Act.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 509) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment, but clarifies that the authorities 
     of the Secretary of Defense are to be carried out in 
     concurrence with the Secretary of State.
     Fair trade in auto parts
       The Senate amendment (sec. 731) extends the Auto Parts 
     Advisory Commission created by the Omnibus Trade and 
     Competitiveness Act of 1988 for an additional five years, 
     until 1998.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 510) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Report on use of foreign frozen or blocked assets
       The Senate amendment (sec. 735) requires the President to 
     submit a report to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the 
     House and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate 
     not later than 60 days after the date of enactment containing 
     a detailed accounting analysis and justification for all 
     expenditures made from foreign government assets that have 
     been blocked or frozen by the United States Government, 
     particularly Haitian, Iranian, and Iraqi frozen or blocked 
     assets.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 511) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Extension of certain adjudication procedures
       The Senate amendment (sec. 748) extends through 1996 
     certain adjudication provisions previously enacted in the 
     Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
     Appropriations Act, 1990. The Senate amendment extends a 
     special allocation of refugee admission spaces to aliens who 
     are or were nationals or residents of an independent state of 
     the former Soviet Union or Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania and 
     who are Jews or evangelical Christians. The provision would 
     also extend until October 1, 1996 the Attorney General's 
     ability to adjust the status of aliens who are nationals of 
     an independent state of the former Soviet Union, Estonia, 
     Latvia, Lithuania, Vietnam, Laos, or Cambodia and were 
     granted parole in the United States after August 14, 1988 to 
     that of aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 512) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Material support for terrorists
       The Senate amendment (sec. 704) establishes new criminal 
     penalties for persons in the United States convicted of 
     providing material support or resources, or concealing or 
     disguising the nature location, source, or ownership of 
     material support or resources that are to be used in 
     preparation for, or in carrying out, certain acts of 
     terrorism. The offenses covered include aircraft sabotage, 
     acts of violence at airports, acts against various U.S. 
     officials, acts against foreign officials and diplomats, acts 
     against federal property, hostage-taking, maritime terrorist 
     acts, and terrorist acts against U.S. nationals abroad.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
       The Senate conferees believe this to be an important 
     provision and note that its enactment would deter those 
     providing material support by creating a single Federal 
     standard for aiding and abetting terrorism, since in many 
     jurisdictions the standard varies widely. Under some 
     statutes, specific intent to commit the underlying offense is 
     required before a person could be convicted of aiding or 
     abetting. The Senate conferees note that this provision would 
     provide a cause of action against those who knowingly provide 
     assistance in advance as well as stiffer penalties for those 
     who become accessories after the fact.
       The committee of conference agreed not to include the 
     Senate provision because of jurisdictional concerns of the 
     committee of jurisdiction in the House. It is the 
     understanding of the committee of conference that this matter 
     will be addressed fully during the upcoming conference on the 
     crime bill. The committee of conference notes that this 
     provision has previously passed both the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives, although in different legislative 
     vehicles. The Senate conferees urge its enactment as part of 
     this year's crime bill.
     Pilot visa waiver program
       The Senate amendment (sec. 723) requires the Secretary of 
     State to explore the procedures necessary to begin a pilot 
     visa waiver program which would reduce the time needed to 
     permit South Korea to be an eligible visa waiver country. The 
     Senate amendment also requires the Secretary of State to 
     permit Koreans to travel to Alaska and Hawaii without visas.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Asylum reform
       The Senate amendment (sec. 727) contains congressional 
     findings regarding the asylum process in the United States 
     and expresses the sense of Congress that U.S. immigration, 
     asylum, and refugee laws should be reformed to provide a 
     procedure for the expeditious exclusion of asylum applicants 
     who arrive at a port of entry with fraudulent documents or no 
     documents and make a non-credible claim of asylum and to 
     provide for a streamlined affirmative asylum processing 
     system for asylum applicants who make their application after 
     they have entered the United States.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
       The committee of conference strongly supports efforts to 
     reform U.S. asylum laws and procedures. In the last decade, 
     applications for asylum have increased dramatically, with the 
     current backlog of cases exceeding 370,000. Genuine refugees 
     have suffered long delays in obtaining asylum. The delays 
     have also encouraged fraudulent applications. Together, this 
     has led to an erosion of support for asylum.
       The committee of conference believes asylum reforms should 
     include procedures for the expeditious processing of asylum 
     applications, including exclusion of those who do not 
     qualify. The committee of conference supports the efforts of 
     the President to reduce the backlog of applications and 
     expedite the processing of legitimate claims for asylum, as 
     well as the complementary efforts by Congress to address this 
     growing problem.
     Report on Bosnian refugees
       The Senate amendment (sec. 751) contains Senate findings 
     and requires the Department of State within 60 days of 
     enactment to brief the Committees on the Judiciary of the 
     House of Representatives and the Senate on the steps being 
     taken by the United States to assure that all appropriate 
     efforts are being made expeditiously to identify and assist 
     all cases of Bosnian individuals and families who are 
     requesting third country resettlement and who are eligible to 
     seek refugee status in the United States and who are seeking 
     such refugee status.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Chinese fleeing coercive population control
       The Senate amendment (sec. 758) prohibits the Attorney 
     General from deporting nationals of the People's Republic of 
     China (PRC) who demonstrate a reasonable likelihood that upon 
     their return to the PRC they will be forced to abort a 
     pregnancy or will be subjected to forced sterilization under 
     Chinese Communist Party directives. Additionally, the Senate 
     amendment requires the Attorney General to give asylum to 
     those nationals of the PRC who demonstrate that they have 
     experienced severe harm on account of their refusal to comply 
     with Chinese government directives. The Senate amendment also 
     requires the Attorney General to promulgate regulations to 
     carry out the purposes of this section and limits the number 
     of persons receiving the benefit of this section to 2,000 in 
     any one fiscal year. The Senate amendment would apply for a 
     period of three years from the date of enactment of this act.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Immigration and Nationality Act amendments
       The Senate amendment (title XII) amends section 245 of the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act to allow aliens physically 
     present in the United States who entered the United States 
     without inspection or are within one of the classes 
     enumerated in section 245(c) to apply for adjustment of 
     status to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent 
     residence. The Attorney General may accept such application 
     only if the alien remits with such application a sum 
     equalling five times the fee usually required for adjustment 
     of status. The Senate amendment would apply for a period of 
     three years from the date of enactment of this act.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Conditions on MFN for China
       The Senate amendment (sec. 752) contains congressional 
     findings regarding conditions for renewal of most-favored-
     nation (MFN) status for the People's Republic of China and 
     expresses the sense of the Senate that the President should 
     use all appropriate opportunities, in particular more high 
     level exchanges with the Chinese Government, to press for 
     further concrete progress towards meeting the standards for 
     continuation of MFN status as contained in the Executive 
     Order of May 28, 1993.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 513) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Implementation of Partnership for Peace
       The Senate amendment (sec. 753) requires the President to 
     submit a report every six months, beginning six months after 
     the date of enactment of this act, on the implementation of 
     the ``Partnership for Peace'' initiative, including an 
     assessment of the progress made by former members of the 
     Warsaw Treaty Organization in meeting the criteria for full 
     membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 514) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but requires the first report 90 days after 
     enactment and subsequent reports annually thereafter. The 
     conference substitute includes an authorization of status of 
     forces agreements with any country eligible to participate in 
     the Partnership for Peace.
     European nations participation in NATO
       The Senate amendment (sec. 724) expresses the sense of the 
     Senate that the United States should urge prompt admission to 
     NATO for those European nations which demonstrate both the 
     capability and willingness to support collective defense 
     requirements and established democratic practices.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Thailand's relations with Burma and Cambodia
       The Senate amendment (Sec. 763) expresses the sense of 
     Congress regarding Thailand's policies towards Burma and 
     Cambodia. It conveys concern that the Government of Thailand, 
     or elements thereof, should end any and all support for the 
     Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, permit democratic leaders of Burma 
     to continue to operate in Thailand, and prosecute those 
     responsible for the trafficking and abuse of women in 
     Thailand, particularly Burmese women. The provision also 
     urged the President to enunciate a clear policy towards 
     Burma.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 515) is similar to the 
     Senate bill, but includes a statement praising the return of 
     democracy to Thailand, stressing the importance of U.S.-Thai 
     relations, and urging the Government of Thailand to adopt a 
     responsible policy concerning displaced persons from 
     neighboring countries, particularly persons from Burma and 
     the Hmong from Laos.
       The committee of conference strenuously objects to the 
     action of elements of the Government of Thailand in early 
     April 1994 to repatriate forcibly Cambodian women, children, 
     and elderly into an area of Cambodia controlled by the Khmer 
     Rouge. The committee of conference notes that this action was 
     taken despite intercessions by the United Nations High 
     Commissioner for Refugees and is contrary to the spirit of 
     the October 1991 peace agreement on Cambodia. Such actions do 
     not contribute to close cooperative relations between the 
     United States and Thailand.
       The committee of conference is also concerned about the 
     apparent continued support extended by elements of the Royal 
     Thai military to the Khmer Rouge in their recent offensive 
     against Cambodian Government forces along the border.
     Women's human rights protection
       The House bill (sec. 181) expresses the sense of Congress 
     that the State Department should designate within the 
     appropriate bureau a special assistant to the Assistant 
     Secretary to promote international women's human rights 
     within the overall human rights policy of the United States 
     Government and enumerates the responsibilities such an 
     advocate should have. The House bill also requires the 
     Secretary of State to notify the Congress within a year on 
     steps taken to create such a position. Finally, the House 
     bill requires that if the U.N. Convention on the Elimination 
     of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has not 
     been submitted to the Senate within 90 days of enactment of 
     this act, the Secretary of State shall notify the Congress of 
     the executive branch's position on the ratification of CEDAW 
     and the timetable for submission of CEDAW for congressional 
     consideration and approval.
       The Senate amendment (sec. 137) contains a similar 
     provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 142) expresses the sense of 
     Congress that the Department of State should designate a 
     senior advisor to the appropriate Undersecretary to assure 
     that women's human rights issues are considered in the 
     overall development of international human rights policy. The 
     conference substitute also requires the Secretary of State to 
     notify Congress within 180 days of enactment of the steps 
     taken to fulfill the objective of integrating fully women's 
     human rights issues into U.S. foreign policy.
     Policy toward the establishment of an International Criminal 
         Court
       The Senate amendment (sec. 168) contains congressional 
     findings regarding the establishment of an international 
     criminal court and expresses the sense of Congress that the 
     establishment of such a court would greatly strengthen the 
     international rule of law and would thereby serve the 
     interests of the United States and the world community, and 
     that the U.S. delegation to the United Nations should make 
     every effort to advance such a proposal. The Senate amendment 
     also requires the President to submit a report not later than 
     February 1, 1994 on developments relating to, and U.S. 
     efforts in support of, the establishment of an international 
     criminal court.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 517) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment, but changes the sense of Senate 
     statement to a sense of the Congress.
     International Criminal Court participation
       The Senate amendment (sec. 169) states that the United 
     States Senate will not consent to the ratification of a 
     treaty providing for participation in an international 
     criminal court which permits representatives of any terrorist 
     organization, nationals, or residents of any country which 
     has been designated by the Secretary of State as a state 
     sponsor of international terrorism, to sit in judgment on 
     U.S. citizens.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 518) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Protection of first and fourth amendment rights
       The Senate amendment (sec. 170) states that the United 
     States Senate will not consent to the ratification of a 
     treaty providing for participation in an international 
     criminal court unless American citizens are guaranteed, in 
     the terms establishing such a court, and in the court's 
     operation, that the court will take no action infringing upon 
     or diminishing their rights under the First and Fourth 
     Amendments of the Constitution of the United States, as 
     interpreted by the United States.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 519) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Termination of U.S. arms embargo
       The Senate amendment (sec. 725) expresses the sense of the 
     Senate that the President should terminate the U.N.-imposed 
     arms embargo of the government of Bosnia-Hercegovina. The 
     Senate amendment also stipulates that the President should 
     provide appropriate military assistance to the government of 
     Bosnia-Hercegovina.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 520) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment, but changes the Sense of the Senate 
     to the Sense of the Congress.
     Normalization of relations with Vietnam
       The Senate amendment (sec. 718) expresses the sense of the 
     Senate that, in view of progress in resolving the fate of 
     American servicemen unaccounted for in the Vietnam conflict, 
     the President should lift the United States embargo against 
     Vietnam expeditiously, and the two countries should move 
     towards the normalization of relations.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 521) is identical to the 
     Senate provision. The committee of conference notes that the 
     inclusion of this provision does not constitute an 
     endorsement by the House conferees or the House of 
     Representatives of the President's decision to lift the 
     embargo against Vietnam. As the House has not addressed this 
     issue, the committee of conference included only the original 
     sense of the Senate provision on this issue.
     Report on sanctions on Vietnam
       The Senate amendment (sec. 761) requires that 30 days after 
     the modification or termination of any economic sanctions on 
     Vietnam, the President should submit a report to the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives on achieving the fullest 
     possible accounting of U.S. personnel unaccounted for from 
     the Vietnam War.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 522) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     People's Mujahaddin of Iran
       The Senate amendment (sec. 732) contains congressional 
     findings regarding the alleged terrorist activities of the 
     People's Mujahaddin of Iran, and requires the Secretary of 
     State to include information on the People's Mujahaddin of 
     Iran in the Department's annual report on terrorism. If the 
     Secretary elects not to include such information, the 
     Secretary is required to submit a report to Congress 
     detailing the structure, current activities, and external 
     support of the People's Mujahaddin of Iran within 60 days 
     after the submission of the annual report.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 523) requires the President 
     to submit a report to Congress detailing the structure, 
     current activities, and external support of the People's 
     Mujahaddin of Iran within 180 days of the enactment of this 
     act, including any information on current direct or indirect 
     support by the PMI for acts of international terrorism. The 
     conference substitute also requires the President to consult 
     with all appropriate agencies in compiling such report.
       The committee of conference notes that nothing in this 
     section is intended to prejudge whether or not the People's 
     Mujahaddin of Iran is currently engaged in acts of terrorism 
     and urges those preparing the report to consult and talk with 
     the widest range of people possible when compiling the 
     report.
     PLO commitments compliance reporting requirements
       The Senate amendment (sec. 728) amends section 804 (b) of 
     the PLO Commitments Compliance Act of 1989 to change the 
     reporting requirement of that act from every 120 days to 
     every 180 days, and allows the report to be submitted in 
     conjunction with the written policy justification required in 
     the Middle East Peace Facilitation Act of 1994. The Senate 
     amendment also updates the reporting requirement to include 
     information on the PLO's compliance with the commitments it 
     made in September 1993.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 524) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but it does not include a provision which 
     would have deleted two items from the President's written 
     policy justification. The conference substitute also makes 
     appropriate technical changes to reflect actions taken by the 
     committee of conference on part E of this title.
     Free trade in ideas
       The Senate amendment (sec. 755) expresses the sense of the 
     Congress that the President should not restrict 
     informational, educational, religious, or humanitarian 
     exchanges, or exchanges for public performances or 
     exhibitions, or travel for any such exchanges, activities, 
     performances or exhibitions, between the United States and 
     any other country.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 525) amends the Senate 
     language.
       The House bill had in its original form included a Part 
     entitled Facilitation of Private Sector Initiatives (the 
     ``Free Trade in Ideas Act''), dealing with all these issues. 
     This provision was withdrawn in committee at the request of 
     the Secretary of State, whose letter ``endorse[d] the 
     underlying objectives of the Free Trade In Ideas Act'', asked 
     for the opportunity to implement those objectives by means of 
     regulation, and suggested that statutory and regulatory 
     changes might be useful in the future.
       The provisions of the conference substitute seek to protect 
     the constitutional rights of Americans to educate themselves 
     about the world by communicating with peoples of other 
     countries in a variety of ways, such as by sharing 
     information and ideas with persons around the world, 
     traveling abroad, and engaging in educational, cultural and 
     other exchanges with persons from around the world. Such 
     activities can also significantly promote the foreign policy 
     objectives of encouraging democracy and human rights abroad, 
     and improving understanding of and goodwill toward the United 
     States abroad, thus enhancing the declining U.S. government 
     resources available for such purposes. The committee of 
     conference notes that private initiatives represent the 
     lion's share of U.S. exchanges with the world, and that 
     private citizens engaged in private activity are frequently 
     the best purveyors of the values of American civilization.
       The committee of conference believes that these protections 
     should be broadly recognized and apply universally. While the 
     statutory amendments made by this section do not include 
     amendments to the U.N. Participation Act, the committee of 
     conference has acted on the assurance of the executive branch 
     that it intends to work to exclude limits on the free flow of 
     information and restrictions on travel from multilateral 
     embargoes.
       Subsection (a) is a sense of the Congress resolution that 
     the President should not in any way restrict travel or 
     exchanges for informational, educational, religious, 
     cultural, or humanitarian purposes or for public performances 
     or exhibitions between the United States and any other 
     country, whether such restrictions are imposed pursuant to 
     the Trading with the Enemy Act, the International Emergency 
     Economic Powers Act, the United Nations Participation Act, 
     the Immigration and Nationality Act, or any other authority. 
     The committee of conference understands that it is the policy 
     of the executive branch to now undertake to incorporate this 
     principle through regulatory and administrative changes, 
     including issuance of visas for these purposes, and removal 
     of currency restrictions for such activities, in all existing 
     and future embargoes.
       Subsection (b) amends Section 5(b)(4) of the Trading with 
     the Enemy Act (TWEA), 50 U.S.C. App. Sec. 5(b)(4), to clarify 
     it by eliminating some of the unintended restrictive 
     administrative interpretations of it.
       The first part of paragraph (1) of Subsection (c) amends 
     Section 203(b)(3) of the International Emergency Economic 
     Powers Act (IEEPA), 50 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 1702(b)(3), in 
     identical terms and to the same effect.
       These provisions in their original form, identical in terms 
     in each statute, were adopted in 1988, (the Berman Amendment 
     to the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act), and 
     established that no embargo may prohibit or restrict directly 
     or indirectly the import or export of information that is 
     protected under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 
     The language was explicitly intended, by including the words 
     ``directly or indirectly,'' to have a broad scope. However, 
     the Treasury Department has narrowly and restrictively 
     interpreted the language in ways not originally intended. The 
     present amendment is only intended to address some of those 
     restrictive interpretations, for example limits on the type 
     of information that is protected or on the medium or method 
     of transmitting the information.
       The committee of conference intends these amendments to 
     facilitate transactions and activities incident to the flow 
     of information and informational materials without regard to 
     the type of information, its format, or means of 
     transmission, and electronically transmitted information, 
     transactions for which must normally be entered into in 
     advance of the information's creation.
       The committee of conference further understands that it was 
     not necessary to include any explicit reference in the 
     statutory language to ``transactions incident'' to the 
     importation or exportation of information or informational 
     materials, because the conferees believe that such 
     transactions are covered by the statutory language.
       The second part of paragraph (1) of subsection (c) amends 
     the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), 50 
     U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 1702(b) to add a new subsection (4) that 
     would prohibit restrictions of any kind, including currency 
     restrictions, on travel and transactions ordinarily incident 
     to travel by Americans under embargoes implemented pursuant 
     to the IEEPA. This section does not apply to restrictions 
     that are currently in place under existing IEEPA embargoes 
     against Libya and Iraq. Because the embargoes on Cuba and 
     North Korea are imposed not under IEEPA but under TWEA, this 
     change would also not apply to either of those embargoes. The 
     new paragraph 203(b)(4) would apply to new restrictions on 
     travel under existing or future embargoes imposed under 
     IEEPA. This is a further effort to protect Americans' 
     constitutional rights and to facilitate international freedom 
     of movement.
     Embargo against Cuba
       The conference substitute (sec. 526) expresses the sense of 
     Congress that the President should advocate and seek a 
     mandatory international U.N. Security Council embargo against 
     the dictatorship of Cuba.
     Expropriation of American property
       The Senate amendment (secs. 744 and 759) revises section 
     620(e) of the Foreign Assistance Act, section 21 of the 
     Inter-American Development Bank Act, section 18 of the Asian 
     Development Bank Act, and section 12 of the International 
     Development Association Act regarding the prohibition of 
     assistance to governments which expropriate the property of 
     American citizens.
       The House bill contains no similar provisions.
       The conference substitute (sec. 527) combines and revises 
     current law, known as the Hickenlooper and Gonzalez 
     amendments, to state clearly the steps which must be 
     undertaken by a foreign government to ensure that U.S. 
     bilateral and multilateral aid is not terminated when the 
     property of an American is expropriated.
       The committee of conference believes that existing law has 
     not been adequately applied by the executive branch in 
     successive administrations and has included the Helms 
     amendment to address this problem. The Hickenlooper law, 
     which is intended to prohibit bilateral U.S. foreign 
     assistance to nations which confiscate Americans' property, 
     has been applied only twice since 1962 (and not once in the 
     past 15 years). Similarly, the Gonzalez law, which requires 
     that the U.S. vote against multilateral bank loans to 
     governments which expropriate American property, has only 
     been applied against two countries in 23 years. The committee 
     of conference, however, is aware that the expropriation of 
     Americans' property by foreign governments is a growing 
     problem; there are currently more than 1,400 such cases in 
     Central America alone.
       The committee of conference believes that if a foreign 
     government has attempted to submit an outstanding 
     expropriation claim to the International Center for 
     Settlement of Investment Disputes, but the American person 
     has refused, that the conditions in (a)(2) of this section 
     shall be considered as met and U.S. foreign assistance, 
     therefore, should not be terminated.
       The committee of conference recognizes the unique problems 
     facing many of the new nations of the former Soviet Union and 
     Eastern and Central Europe and have added a provision 
     designed to provide nations emerging from totalitarian or 
     authoritarian rule sufficient time to settle outstanding 
     expropriation claims before the termination of assistance is 
     considered. The President is provided broad authority to 
     waive this entire section if he determines and reports to 
     Congress that it is in the national interest to do so.
       This section is not meant to affect in any way a foreign 
     government's legitimate right to seize the property of anyone 
     who has violated the law of that nation, consistent with 
     international law. Nor is it intended to deny assistance to 
     the poorest of the poor through Basic Human Needs loans from 
     the multilateral development banks. The committee of 
     conference believes Basic Human Needs loans should be only 
     those which provide basic education, basic sanitation, basic 
     shelter, primary health care, clean drinking water and 
     sanitation, and sufficient food and nutrition for a healthy 
     and productive life.
       The conference substitute also requires the Secretary of 
     State to report no longer than 90 days after enactment of 
     this Act and annually thereafter to Congress on the status of 
     outstanding expropriation claims worldwide.
     Report on Russian military operations in the Independent 
         States of the former Soviet Union
       The Senate amendment (sec. 750) requires the President to 
     submit a report to Congress not later than July 1, 1994 on 
     the operations and activities of the armed forces of the 
     Russian Federation, including elements operating outside the 
     chain of command of the armed forces of the Russian 
     Federation, outside the borders of the Russian Federation 
     and, specifically, in the other independent states that were 
     a part of the former Soviet Union and the Baltic States the 
     amendment also specifies the content of that report.
       The House bill has no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 528) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but changes the date of submission of the 
     report to not later than five months after enactment.
     Report on the dismantlement of nuclear weapons of the former 
         Soviet Union
       The Senate amendment (sec. 760) requires that the report 
     required by section 1207 of Title XII (Cooperative Threat 
     Reduction with States of the Former Soviet Union) of Public 
     Law 103-160 (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 1994) and due on April 30, 1994, to be submitted by the 
     President, shall include information on the anticipated 
     timetable for dismantlement of former Soviet Union nuclear 
     and chemical weapons, the cost of each activity, the agencies 
     responsible, obstacles hindering the effective use of funds 
     and how they might be overcome, the impact of United States 
     funds on such dismantlement, and a classified appendix 
     detailing actual reductions in weapons and capabilities.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Policy toward North Korea
       The Senate amendment (secs. 709, 717, 726, and 749) 
     regarding the crisis on the Korean peninsula was provoked by 
     North Korea's failure to honor commitments to the 
     international community concerning its nuclear program. The 
     Senate amendment (sec. 709) provides that, notwithstanding 
     any other provision of law, no license, instruction, rule, 
     regulation or order issued under section 5 of the Trading 
     With the Enemy Act may authorize any transaction involving 
     the commercial sale of any good or technology to North Korea 
     or authorize any transaction involving the provision of 
     services for travel to North Korea which was not authorized 
     as of January 2, 1989. The President may waive this 
     prohibition if the President determines that such waiver 
     would serve the national interest of the United States. The 
     Senate amendment (sec. 717) expresses the sense of the Senate 
     that the President should not engage in negotiations on the 
     normalization of relations with North Korea until it meets 
     its full obligations under the Treaty on the Non-
     Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and provides 
     definitions for the purposes of this section. The Senate 
     amendment (sec. 726) also expresses the sense of Congress 
     that if North Korea continues to resist efforts of the 
     international community to allow IAEA to conduct regular 
     inspections and refuses to return to and fully comply with 
     the NPT, the President should coordinate with allies in the 
     region and act to defend U.S. security interests on the 
     Korean peninsula. Finally, the Senate amendment (sec. 749) 
     expresses the sense of Congress that North Korea must halt 
     its nuclear weapons program and fully comply with the NPT, 
     and that the President should seek international consensus to 
     isolate North Korea economically, support U.S.-South Korean 
     joint military exercises, and ensure that sufficient U.S. 
     military forces are deployed in the region to defend 
     effectively South Korea against any offensive action by North 
     Korea.
       The House bill contains no comparable provisions.
       The conference substitute (sec. 529) combines most of the 
     North Korea-related language from the Senate amendment and 
     expresses the sense of Congress concerning U.S. policy 
     regarding the crisis on the Korean peninsula. The conference 
     substitute stresses that in addressing the crisis the United 
     States: should pursue a diplomatic strategy while remaining 
     militarily prepared and vigilant, but recognizes that all 
     options, including the appropriate use of force, remain 
     available. The U.S. should work closely with U.S. allies, the 
     International Atomic Energy Agency, and other parties; should 
     be prepared to pursue an internationally supported policy of 
     isolation of North Korea if that country does not comply with 
     all its international obligations; should, if unable to 
     obtain international consensus, employ all unilateral means 
     of leverage over North Korea; and should judge, in part, 
     future relations with China on its cooperation on the North 
     Korean nuclear issue.
       The conference substitute includes a provision that 
     expresses the sense of Congress that within the international 
     community China has significant influence over North Korea 
     and as such, Chinese cooperation on the North Korean nuclear 
     issue will inevitably be a significant factor in U.S.-Chinese 
     relations.
     Enforcement of nonproliferation treaties
       The Senate amendment (sec. 712) expresses the sense of 
     Congress that the President should instruct the U.S. 
     Permanent Representative to the United Nations to work for 
     passage of a Security Council resolution which would apply 
     international economic sanctions against any non-nuclear 
     weapon state found to have terminated, abrogated, or 
     materially violated an IAEA full-scope safeguards agreement. 
     The Senate amendment also prohibits U.S. assistance under the 
     Foreign Assistance Act to any non-nuclear weapon state found 
     to have terminated, abrogated, or materially violated an IAEA 
     safeguards agreement or a bilateral U.S. nuclear cooperation 
     agreement entered into after the date of enactment of the 
     Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act (March 10, 1978).
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 530) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but allows the President to waive the 
     application of the prohibition on U.S. assistance to a non-
     nuclear state if the President determines that such 
     termination of U.S. assistance would be seriously prejudicial 
     to the achievement of U.S. nonproliferation objectives or 
     otherwise jeopardize the common defense and security of the 
     United States. The President must report such a determination 
     to the Congress at least 15 days in advance of any resumption 
     of U.S. assistance.
     Taiwan
       The Senate amendment (sec. 706) contains an amendment to 
     the Taiwan Relations Act (PL 96-8), to the effect that Sec. 
     3(a) and 3(b) of that Act shall supersede the relevant 
     provisions of the communique concluded between the United 
     States and the People's Republic of China on August 17, 1982, 
     and regulations, directives, and policies based thereon.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 531) makes the following 
     Congressional statements, in view of the self-defense needs 
     of Taiwan:
       (a) Sections 2 and 3 of the Taiwan Relations Act are 
     reaffirmed;
       (b) Section 3 of the Taiwan Relations Act takes primacy 
     over statements of U.S. policy, including communiques, 
     regulations, directives, and policies based thereon.
       (c) In assessing the extent to which the People's Republic 
     of China is pursuing its ``fundamental policy'' to strive to 
     peacefully resolve the Taiwan issue, the United States should 
     take into account both PRC capabilities and intentions;
       (d) The President should on a regular basis assess changes 
     in PRC capabilities and intentions and consider whether it is 
     appropriate to adjust arms sales to Taiwan accordingly.
       With this provision, the committee of conference expresses 
     its continued concern for the security of Taiwan. It 
     reaffirms the commitments made in the Taiwan Relations Act 
     (TRA) to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense 
     capability. Among the policy statements over which Sections 
     3(b) of the TRA takes precedence is the communique concluded 
     between the United States and the People's Republic of China 
     on August 17, 1982.
       The congressional statement reflects concern on the part of 
     the committee of conference over the effect on stability in 
     the Asia-Pacific region of China's military modernization, 
     its increased military spending, and its territorial claims. 
     If the President, in consultation with the Congress as 
     provided in Section 3(b) of the TRA, finds that PRC 
     capabilities and intentions have increased the threat to 
     Taiwan, then a compensating adjustment in the transfer of 
     defense articles and services to Taiwan should be seriously 
     considered. Pursuant to the TRA, U.S. policy on arms sales to 
     Taiwan should be based on Taiwan's defense needs and be 
     formulated jointly by the Congress and the President.
       The Taiwan Relations Act is explicit that the nature and 
     quantity of defensive articles and defensive services to be 
     transferred to Taiwan shall be based solely upon the judgment 
     of the President and Congress of the needs of Taiwan, in 
     accordance with procedures established by law. Consequently, 
     the transfer of particular defense articles and services--
     such as advanced ballistic missile defense systems and 
     conventionally powered coastal patrol submarines--should be 
     based on Taiwan's needs and not on arbitrary principles, such 
     as prohibiting the incorporation of U.S. equipment on 
     defensive platforms produced by other nations or the 
     exclusion of entire classes of defensive weapons. The 
     committee of conference calls on the Executive Branch to 
     streamline and rationalize the procedures for implementation 
     of U.S. policy concerning arms sales to Taiwan.
     FOIA exemption
       The Senate amendment (sec. 721) exempts certain data 
     collected by sensors during observation flights conducted in 
     connection with the Treaty on Open Skies, including flights 
     conducted prior to entry into force of the Treaty, from 
     disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act or any other 
     Act. Such data shall include data with respect to a foreign 
     country if the country has not disclosed the data to the 
     public and if the country has not, acting through the Open 
     Skies Consultative Commission or any other diplomatic 
     channel, authorized the United States to disclose the data to 
     the public. In the case of data collected with respect to the 
     United States, such data shall be exempt if it could be 
     reasonably expected to cause substantial harm to the national 
     defense of the United States as determined by the Secretary 
     of Defense or to the foreign relations of the United States 
     as determined by the Secretary of State.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 533) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but makes technical and clarifying changes, 
     and limits the exemption to data collected with respect to 
     foreign countries.
       The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides a general 
     exemption for information that is properly classified 
     pursuant to an executive order. The committee of conference 
     believes that this provision is adequate to safeguard the 
     types of information which may be generated under the Open 
     Skies Treaty, and that representatives of the Department of 
     State, the National Security Council and the Director of 
     Central Intelligence believe may need protection from 
     disclosure. However, because the Treaty was negotiated with 
     the apparent understanding of the strict safeguarding of 
     foreign country data, the committee of conference agreed to a 
     blanket FOIA exemption for such data.
     Effectiveness of democracy programs
       The Senate amendment (sec. 719) contains congressional 
     findings regarding U.S.-funded democracy programs overseas 
     and requires the President to establish a commission to study 
     U.S. Government funded democracy support activities. The 
     commission established by the Senate amendment is required to 
     submit a report to the President and the Congress not later 
     than 180 days after its establishment on a streamlined, cost-
     effective organization of U.S. democracy. The Senate 
     amendment (sec. 754) also requires the commission to 
     undertake a review of the feasibility and desirability of 
     mandating non-U.S. Government funding for democracy promotion 
     programs.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 534) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment. Instead of a presidential commission, the 
     President is required to submit a report on a streamlined, 
     cost-effective organization of democracy support activities 
     funded by the U.S. Government including a review of all 
     activities funded through the National Endowment for 
     Democracy, the USIA and AID to the appropriate congressional 
     committees not later than 180 days following enactment. There 
     are minor changes in the issues to be reviewed and addressed 
     in the report. The substitute deletes section 754 and merges 
     the matching grant requirement into the body of the 
     conference substitute.
       The committee on conference finds: the National Endowment 
     for Democracy will fund $35 million in democracy development 
     programs overseas in fiscal year 1994; agencies of the U.S. 
     Government including AID, USIA and the State Department also 
     fund, directly or by grants, significantly larger shares of 
     democracy programs than NED alone; it is in the interest of 
     the United States to have a coordinated approach to the 
     funding of international democracy programs supported by 
     States Government funds; with the end of the Cold War, the 
     United States needs to consider the appropriate role of each 
     of the agencies involved in democracy programs to ensure that 
     each is drawing to the fullest extent on its comparative 
     advantages; and U.S. Government democracy support programs 
     have overlapped in the same country. The committee of 
     conference notes that the executive branch has recently 
     conducted an interagency review of democracy--PRD 26--and 
     that this may prove a useful baseline for analyzing NED and 
     other U.S. Government democracy programs. The committee of 
     conference further notes that the GAO is currently engaged in 
     producing a report similar to the one required in this 
     section and encourages the executive branch to review the 
     work already undertaken by the GAO.
     Restoration of withheld benefits
       The Senate amendment (sec. 734) makes the approval by the 
     Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense of the 
     employment or the holding of a position pursuant to the 
     provisions of section 1058 of title 10 of the United States 
     Code effective as of January 1, 1993.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 182) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Policy on sustainable development
       The Senate amendment (sec. 736) expresses the sense of the 
     Senate with respect to sustainable development as a goal of 
     U.S. foreign assistance and expresses the sense of the Senate 
     that domestic producers of environmental goods and services 
     should, to the maximum extent practicable, be notified of 
     potential business opportunities which result from U.S. 
     bilateral and multilateral assistance programs and 
     negotiations.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
     Sanctions against Croatia
       The Senate amendment (title XIV) contains congressional 
     findings and expresses the sense of the Senate that the 
     President should consider taking the following actions with 
     respect to Croatia: instructing the U.S. Executive Director 
     or representative at all international financial institutions 
     of which the United States is a member to vote against all 
     loans except for loans directed at programs which serve basic 
     human needs; providing no assistance except for humanitarian 
     and refugee assistance; making no sales of military 
     equipment; prohibiting the licensing of commercial military 
     sales; providing no credits or guarantee of credits; 
     prohibiting the sale or transfer of any item subject to 
     export controls by any agency of the United States; directing 
     the Secretary of Transportation to revoke the right of any 
     air carrier designated by the Government of Croatia to 
     provide service to the United States; and negotiating 
     comprehensive multilateral sanctions pursuant to the 
     provisions of Chapter 7 of the United Nations Charter.
       The House bill contains no comparable provisions.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.


                 Part B--The Spoils of War Act of 1993

       The Senate amendment (title V) establishes the Spoils of 
     War Act of 1993. The Senate amendment specifies the terms and 
     conditions through which the United States may transfer the 
     spoils of war. The Senate amendment stipulates that the 
     United States may not transfer the spoils of war to any 
     country that supports international terrorism pursuant to 
     section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act. The Senate 
     amendment also requires the President no later than ninety 
     days after the date of enactment of this Act to submit a 
     report to the appropriate congressional committees describing 
     any spoils of war obtained subsequent to August 2, 1990, that 
     have been transferred to any party, government group or 
     person before the date of enactment of this Act. Finally, the 
     Senate amendment establishes the definitions of terms used in 
     Title V and delineates spoils of war not considered to be 
     subject to the specifications of Title V.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (secs. 551-556) is identical to 
     the Senate amendment.


          Part C--Anti-Economic Discrimination Act Short Title

       The Senate amendment (sec. 901) provides a short title of 
     the Anti-Economic Discrimination Act of 1994 for purposes of 
     this title.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 561) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Israel's diplomatic status
       The Senate amendment (sec. 745) contains congressional 
     findings regarding diplomatic recognition of Israel and 
     expresses the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of State 
     should make the issue of Israel's diplomatic status a 
     priority and urge countries that receive U.S. assistance to 
     immediately establish full diplomatic relations with the 
     state of Israel.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 562) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but deletes the findings and makes technical 
     and conforming changes.
       The committee of conference notes that the following states 
     will receive direct or indirect U.S. foreign assistance 
     during this fiscal year and have failed to establish full 
     diplomatic relations with Israel: Afghanistan, Algeria, 
     Bahrain, Bangladesh, Botswana, Burundi, Cape Verde, Chad, 
     Djibouti, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Indonesia, Jordan, 
     Laos, Lebanon, Madagascar, Maldives, Mauritania, Morocco, 
     Namibia, Niger, Oman, Pakistan, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, Sri 
     Lanka, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, and Yemen.
     Policy on Middle East arms sales
       The Senate amendment (sec. 703) amends section 322 of the 
     Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1992 and 
     1993 to add to the list of issues the President should 
     consider when making military sales to any country under the 
     Arms Export Control Act or providing military assistance 
     under the Foreign Assistance Act whether a country 
     participates in the Arab League primary or secondary boycott 
     of Israel. The Senate amendment also requires a report within 
     180 days of enactment on steps taken to achieve the goals of 
     section 322.
       The House bill (sec. 188) is similar.
       The conference substitute (sec. 563) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Prohibition on certain sales and leases
       The Senate amendment (sec. 903) prohibits the sale or lease 
     of any defense articles or services by the United States to 
     any country or international organization that, as a matter 
     of policy or practice, is known to have sent letters to U.S. 
     firms requesting compliance with, or soliciting compliance 
     with, the secondary or tertiary Arab boycott of Israel unless 
     the President determines and certifies to the appropriate 
     congressional committees that country or international 
     organization does not currently maintain a policy or practice 
     of making such requests or solicitations. The Senate 
     amendment provides that the President may waive this 
     prohibition for a period of one year with respect to any 
     country or international organization if he determines and 
     reports to Congress that such waiver is in the national 
     interest of the United States and will promote the objective 
     of this section, or such waiver is in the national security 
     interest of the United States. The Senate amendment also 
     provides for additional one-year extensions of such waivers 
     with notification to the appropriate congressional committees 
     and provides an effective date of one year after enactment 
     for purposes of this section.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 564) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Prohibition on discriminatory contracts
       The Senate amendment (sec. 115) prohibits the Department of 
     State from letting contracts with persons who either comply 
     with the Arab League boycott of Israel or who discriminate on 
     the basis of religion in letting subcontracts. The Senate 
     amendment allows the Secretary of State to waive this 
     prohibition on a country-by-country basis for a period of not 
     more than one year if the Secretary determines to do so is in 
     the national interest and is necessary to carry on diplomatic 
     functions of the United States. The Senate amendment (sec. 
     213) also prohibits USIA from letting contracts with persons 
     who either comply with the Arab League boycott of Israel or 
     who discriminate on the basis of religion in letting 
     subcontracts. The Senate amendment allows the Director of 
     USIA to waive this prohibition on a country-by-country basis 
     for a period of not more than one year if the Director 
     determines to do so is in the national interest and is 
     necessary to carry on diplomatic functions of the United 
     States.
       The House bill (sec. 116) contains a virtually identical 
     provision prohibiting discriminatory contracts by the 
     Department of State.
       The conference substitute (sec. 565) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment, but it consolidates in a single 
     section the provisions that apply to the Department of State 
     and to the USIA contracts.
     Congressional findings regarding Arab League boycott
       The Senate amendment (sec. 902) contains congressional 
     findings regarding the Arab League boycott of Israel.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.
       The committee of conference notes that although certain 
     countries have noted their intention to lift the secondary 
     and tertiary boycott of Israel, recent statistics from the 
     Department of Commerce's Office of Antiboycott Compliance 
     show that the secondary and tertiary boycott continues in 
     effect by some of these countries.


                 Part D--Cambodian Genocide Justice Act

       The Senate amendment (title VI) urges the President to take 
     certain steps to bring to justice leaders and members of the 
     Khmer Rouge who committed acts of genocide in Cambodia from 
     1975 to 1979; establishes an Office of Cambodian Genocide 
     Investigation within the Department of State whose operations 
     would occur solely in Cambodia; states the purposes of the 
     office; and excludes specified Khmer Rouge national leaders 
     from admittance to the United States.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (secs. 571-574) states that 
     consistent with international law, it is the policy of the 
     United States to support efforts to bring to justice members 
     of the Khmer Rouge for their genocidal acts and urges certain 
     steps in furtherance of that policy. The conference 
     substitute conditions expenditure during fiscal years 1994 
     and 1995 of funds authorized to be appropriated under this 
     Act upon the establishment of the Office of Cambodian 
     Genocide Investigation within the Department of State. The 
     conference substitute states that the Office may carry out 
     its duties inside or outside of Cambodia, but stipulates that 
     no less than 75% of the funds made available for the office 
     shall be used to carry out activities in Cambodia. The 
     conference substitute also requires that the Secretary of 
     State contract with appropriate individuals and organizations 
     to carry out the Office's purpose of supporting efforts to 
     bring to justice members of the Khmer Rouge. The conference 
     substitute retains the reporting requirement of the Senate 
     amendment.
       The committee of conference believes that the international 
     community retains an obligation, consistent with 
     international law, to support efforts to bring to justice 
     those leaders and members of the Khmer Rouge who caused the 
     deaths of not less than one million Cambodians within a 
     period of less than four years. This chapter of man's 
     inhumanity to man is best brought to a close through the 
     convening of a national or international tribunal which would 
     call Khmer Rouge leaders to account for their crimes. Such a 
     tribunal would offer some measure of justice to Cambodians 
     living and dead who suffered, as well as serving as a 
     deterrent against episodes of genocide in the future.


               Part E--Middle East Peace Facilitation Act

       The Senate amendment (title X) contains congressional 
     findings regarding commitments made by the PLO, advances in 
     the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, and the U.S. dialogue 
     with the PLO. The Senate amendment also authorizes the 
     President to suspend for periods of 180 days, beginning July 
     1, 1994, various laws restricting the U.S. ability to conduct 
     a dialogue with the PLO, provided the President submits a 
     written policy justification to the Congress 30 days before 
     the suspension goes into effect. The policy justification 
     must certify that the suspension is in the national interest 
     of the United States and that the PLO has complied with its 
     commitments of September 1993 regarding Israel and the use of 
     violence, and its commitments in and resulting from the 
     implementation of the Declaration of Principles of September 
     13, 1993. Finally, the Senate amendment authorizes the 
     Congress to cancel the suspension if it determines by Joint 
     Resolution that the PLO has not complied with its relevant 
     commitments.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (secs. 581-583) grants the 
     President authority to suspend laws restricting U.S. contacts 
     with the PLO in six month increments starting July 1, 1994, 
     and ending July 1, 1995. The conference substitute also 
     includes the expectation of Congress that future waivers will 
     be conditioned on the PLO's renunciation and efforts to 
     dismantle the Arab League boycott of Israel, and its 
     renunciation of individual acts of terrorism and violence. 
     The conference substitute also requires that the President's 
     written policy justification will report on the PLO's 
     response to individual acts of terrorism and violence, its 
     actions concerning the Arab League boycott of Israel, and the 
     status of the PLO office in the United States.
       The committee of conference remains deeply concerned and so 
     looks forward to receiving the PLO Commitment Compliance Act 
     report twice a year. It is the intent of the committee of 
     conference that future extensions of the waiver authority of 
     the Middle Peace Facilitation Act be considered on a periodic 
     basis as long as a dialogue between the United States and the 
     PLO is maintained. The committee of conference expects that 
     any extensions of waiver authority beyond July 1, 1995 will 
     be considered by the relevant authorizing committees as 
     necessary, pending enactment of the next State Department or 
     foreign aid authorization legislation.
     Reporting requirements on occupied Tibet
       The Senate amendment (Sec. 702) expresses the sense of 
     Congress that the United States should seek to establish a 
     dialogue with the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government-in-
     Exile; requires that, six months from the date of enactment 
     of the Act and every 12 months thereafter, the Secretary of 
     State shall transmit a report to Congress on such dialogue; 
     and requires that whenever a report is transmitted to the 
     Congress on a country-by-country basis there shall be 
     included in such report, where applicable, a separate report 
     on Tibet listed alphabetically with its own state heading.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec.   ) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment except that it states that it is the sense 
     of Congress that Tibet should be the subject of a separate 
     report in reports compiled on a country-by-country basis.

                         Title VI--Peace Corps

       The Senate amendment (sec.   ) authorizes the appropriation 
     of $219.745 million in fiscal year 1994 and $234.745 million 
     in fiscal year 1995 for the Peace Corps.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (title VI) authorizes the 
     appropriation of $219.745 million in fiscal year 1994 and 
     $234.745 million in fiscal year 1995 for the Peace Corps, 
     makes funds available for the Peace Corps for fiscal years 
     1994 and 1995 available for two fiscal years, extends the 
     Peace Corps contracting authority from 36 months to five 
     years, and allows Peace Corps to extend liability coverage to 
     individuals employed under personal services contracts to 
     furnish medical services abroad pursuant to section 10(a)(5) 
     of the Peace Corps Act.
       The committee of conference notes that Committee on Foreign 
     Affairs of the House and the Committee on Foreign Relations 
     of the Senate, in their reports to accompany foreign 
     assistance authorization legislation for fiscal years 1994 
     and 1995, urged the executive branch to transfer to the Peace 
     Corps an additional $15 million in fiscal year 1994 from 
     funds available to assist the independent states of the 
     former Soviet Union. This transfer was designed to cover the 
     additional costs of programs in those countries. In view of 
     this legislative history, the committee of conference 
     considers that the authorization contained in the conference 
     substitute for fiscal year 1995 maintains current funding 
     levels for the Peace Corps. This authorization level 
     represents a decision by the committee of conference to 
     include the $15 million recommended for transfer in fiscal 
     year 1994 in the Peace Corps' base authorization for fiscal 
     year 1995. Consistent with this decision, the committee of 
     conference expects that the authorization of appropriations 
     for assistance to the independent states of the former Soviet 
     Union will be reduced by $15 million in the fiscal year 1995 
     foreign assistance authorization process.

                        Title VII--Arms Control


         part a--arms control and nonproliferation act of 1994

     Congressional declarations; purpose
       The Senate amendment (sec. 802) declares arms control, 
     nonproliferation, and a world in which the use of force is 
     subordinated to the rule of law to be fundamental goals of 
     the United States, particularly in the turbulent post-Cold 
     War era. The Senate amendment listed two purposes: to 
     strengthen the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and to 
     improve congressional oversight of the arms control, 
     nonproliferation, and disarmament activities of ACDA.
       The House bill (sec. 301) contains similar language but 
     adds the purpose of improved oversight of the operating 
     budget of ACDA.
       The conference substitute (sec. 702) is almost identical to 
     the Senate amendment, and adds oversight of ACDA's operating 
     budget from the House bill.
     Purposes
       The Senate amendment (sec. 803) amends section 2 of the 
     ACDA Act to insert new responsibilities for ACDA: the 
     preparation for and management of United States participation 
     in international negotiations and implementation fora in the 
     arms control and disarmament field, and, when directed by the 
     President, in the nonproliferation field; the conduct, 
     coordination, and support of research related to these three 
     fields; the preparation for, operation of, or, as 
     appropriate, direction of, United States participation in 
     control systems related to these three fields; and the 
     dissemination and coordination of public information 
     concerning these fields.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 703) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Repeals
       The Senate amendment (sec. 804) repeals several provisions 
     of the ACDA Act relating to the General Advisory Committee, 
     arms control impact information and analysis, the Standing 
     Consultative Commission, and the report on Soviet compliance 
     with arms control commitments.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 704) contains the same 
     repeals as the Senate amendment, except with respect to the 
     General Advisory Committee, which is amended instead of 
     repealed by the conference substitute (sec. 707). The 
     conference substitute (sec. 707) permits the President to 
     create a new Science and Policy Advisory Committee with a 
     chairman appointed by the President with the consent of the 
     Senate, and 14 other members selected by the President. Not 
     less than eight of the members of this Committee shall be 
     scientists, and the Committee shall terminate two years after 
     the date of enactment.
     Director
       The Senate amendment (sec. 805) amends section 22 of the 
     ACDA Act concerning the duties of the Director to include 
     serving as the principal adviser to the Secretary of State, 
     the National Security Adviser, and the President and other 
     executive branch officials on matters relating to arms 
     control, nonproliferation, and disarmament.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 705) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Bureaus, offices, and divisions
       The Senate amendment (sec. 806) amends the ACDA Act to 
     permit the Director, acting under the direction of the 
     Secretary of State, to establish such bureaus, offices and 
     divisions as he deems necessary, including a bureau of 
     intelligence and information support and an office to perform 
     legal services.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 706) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but deletes ``under the direction of the 
     Secretary of State.''
     Presidential special representatives
       The Senate amendment (sec. 807) amends the ACDA Act to 
     permit the President to appoint, with the advice and consent 
     of the Senate, Special Representatives of the President for 
     Arms Control, Nonproliferation, and Disarmament who would 
     hold the personal rank of Ambassador.
       The House bill is similar, but does not include a Special 
     Representative of the President for nonproliferation and does 
     not give Special Representatives the personal rank of 
     Ambassador.
       The conference substitute (sec. 708) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but does not give Special Representatives 
     the personal rank of Ambassador.
     Policy formulation
       The Senate amendment (sec. 808) amends section 33 of the 
     ACDA Act concerning policy formulation by adding 
     nonproliferation to areas in which the Director is to prepare 
     recommendations and advice.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 709) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Negotiation management
       The Senate amendment (sec. 809) amends the ACDA Act and 
     adds to the Director's responsibilities for the preparation, 
     conduct, and management of United States participation in all 
     international negotiations and implementation fora in the 
     fields of arms control and disarmament, and adds the field of 
     nonproliferation, whenever directed by the President. The 
     Senate amendment stipulates further that the Special 
     Representatives for Nonproliferation shall, as directed by 
     the President, serve as United States representatives to 
     international organizations, conferences, and activities 
     relating to nonproliferation, such as the preparations for 
     and conduct of the review of the Treaty on the Non-
     Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The Senate amendment also 
     authorizes the Director to formulate plans and make 
     preparations for the establishment, operation, and funding of 
     inspections and control systems which may become part of the 
     United States arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament 
     activities.
       The House bill (sec. 303) amends the ACDA Act to give the 
     Director, acting under the direction of the Secretary of 
     State, primary responsibility for the preparation and 
     management of United States participation in all 
     international negotiations and implementation for in the 
     fields of arms control and disarmament.
       The conference substitute (sec. 710) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but adds authorization for the Director to 
     consult and communicate with, or to direct the consultation 
     and communication with, representatives of other nations or 
     of international organizations, and to communicate in the 
     name of the Secretary of State with diplomatic 
     representatives of the United States.
     Report on measures to coordinate research and development
       The Senate amendment (sec. 810) requires a presidential 
     report not later than December 31, 1994 prepared by the 
     Director in coordination with the Secretary of State, 
     Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Energy, Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Director of Central 
     Intelligence regarding the procedures established for the 
     effective coordination of research and development on arms 
     control, nonproliferation, and disarmament in the executive 
     branch.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 711) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Negotiating records
       The Senate amendment (sec. 811) amends the ACDA Act and 
     directs the Director to establish and maintain records for 
     each arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament 
     agreement to which the United States is a party and which was 
     under negotiation or in force on or after January 1, 1990, 
     and to report to Congress by January 31, 1995 on his actions 
     to implement this section.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 713) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Verification of compliance
       The Senate amendment (sec. 812) amends the ACDA Act and 
     requires the Director to report to Congress, on a timely 
     basis or upon request by an appropriate committee, the degree 
     to which arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament 
     agreements can be verified, any significant degradation or 
     alteration in the capacity of the United States to verify 
     compliance, and the amount and percentage of research funds 
     expended by the Agency to analyze issues relating to 
     verification.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 712) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Authorities with respect to nonproliferation matters
       The Senate amendment (sec. 813) amends the Arms Export 
     Control Act in several of its provisions to assure the 
     Director's participation in licensing decisions and to assure 
     his assessment as to whether the issuance of an export 
     license is detrimental to the national security of the United 
     States. It further amends the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act 
     of 1978 to assure the Director's receipt of information 
     necessary to his participation in licensing decisions.
       The House bill (sec. 304) contains a similar provision and 
     includes the Director's assessment as to extent to which a 
     sale under the AECA aids in the development of weapons of 
     mass destruction.
       The conference substitute (sec. 714) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, includes the House provision on the 
     Director's assessment of the extent to which a sale under the 
     AECA aids in the development of weapons of mass destruction, 
     and makes technical corrections.
     Appointment and compensation of personnel
       The Senate amendment (sec. 814) amends the ACDA Act to 
     permit appointment in the Excepted Service and fix the 
     compensation of employees possessing specialized technical 
     expertise without regard to the provisions of title 5 of the 
     US Code, if the Director ensures that any employee appointed 
     under this exception is not paid at a rate in excess of the 
     rate payable for positions of equivalent difficulty or 
     responsibility, or exceeding the maximum rate payable for 
     grade 15 of the General Schedule; and the number of employees 
     appointed under this exception shall not exceed 10 percent of 
     the Agency's full-time-equivalent ceiling.
       The House bill (sec. 307) contains a similar provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 715) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment but makes technical corrections.
     Security requirements
       The Senate amendment (sec. 815) amends the ACDA Act to 
     permit ACDA to hire or to receive on detail other executive 
     branch employees who have received appropriate security 
     clearances.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 716) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Reports
       The Senate amendment (sec. 816) amends the ACDA Act to 
     require a more comprehensive annual report of ACDA activities 
     and on the status of U.S. policy and actions with respect to 
     arms control, nonproliferation, disarmament, and compliance 
     by other nations with respect to arms control, 
     nonproliferation and disarmament agreements.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 717) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but adds that the annual report on world 
     military expenditures and arms transfers be published by the 
     Director no later than December 31 of each year, and mandates 
     a report by December 31, 1995 to Congress on the actions 
     taken to revitalize the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.
     Funding
       The Senate amendment (sec. 816) authorizes to be 
     appropriated $57.5 million for fiscal year 1994 and $59.375 
     million for fiscal year 1995, as well as such sums as may be 
     necessary for each year for increases in salary, pay, 
     retirement, other employee benefits authorized by law, and 
     other nondiscretionary costs, and to offset adverse 
     fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Senate 
     amendment authorizes the transfer of funds appropriated 
     pursuant to this section to any agency for carrying out the 
     purposes of this Act.
       The House bill (sec. 107) is similar to the Senate 
     amendment, but authorizes $62.5 million for fiscal year 1994 
     and $55.356 million for fiscal year 1995. The House bill also 
     requires an authorization for any appropriation of funding to 
     ACDA.
       The conference substitute (sec. 718) authorizes the 
     appropriation of funds identical to the Senate amendment, and 
     retains the House provision requiring an authorization for 
     any appropriation of funding.
     Notification to Congress of proposed reprogrammings by ACDA
       The House bill (sec. 305) amends the ACDA Act to require 15 
     day advance notification to the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
     of the House and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate of proposed reprogrammings of funds appropriated that 
     would create or eliminate a program, project, or activity; 
     would increase funds or personnel by any means for any 
     program, project, or activity for which funds have been 
     denied or restricted by Congress; would relocate an office or 
     employees, or would reorganize offices, programs, projects, 
     or activities; would involve contracting out functions which 
     had been performed by Federal employees; or would involve a 
     reprogramming in excess of $1,000,000 or 10 percent 
     (whichever is less) and would augment existing programs, 
     projects, or activities, or reduce by 10 percent or more the 
     funding for any existing program, project, activity or 
     personnel approved by the Congress, or result from any 
     general savings from a reduction in personnel that would 
     result in a change in existing programs, activities, or 
     projects approved by Congress.
       The Senate amendment contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 718) is identical to the 
     House bill.
       The conference substitute Arms Control and Nonproliferation 
     Act of 1994 will effectively serve the goal shared with the 
     executive branch of strengthening and revitalizing the Arms 
     Control and Disarmament Agency. This conference substitute 
     draws upon studies of ACDA done by the Inspector General of 
     the Department of State and of ACDA and by the Stimson Center 
     and others, as well as the efforts of the Senate Committee on 
     Foreign Relations and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. 
     The conference substitute reflects the common feeling of the 
     two bodies as to what needs to be done to get the Arms 
     Control Agency back in the forefront of national and 
     international arms control, nonproliferation and disarmament 
     efforts. With the support of the executive branch, the 
     committee of conference believes that goal can be achieved.
       The conference substitute makes it clear that the Director 
     of ACDA shall be the principal adviser to the President, the 
     National Security Council and the Secretary of State and 
     other senior officials on matters relating to arms control, 
     nonproliferation and disarmament. The legislation makes it 
     clear that the Director shall have primary responsibility 
     within the government for matters relating to arms control 
     and disarmament and, whenever directed by the President, 
     primary responsibility for matters related to 
     nonproliferation.
       By putting the matter of nonproliferation into a category 
     differentiated from arms control and disarmament the 
     committee of conference was attempting to recognize that the 
     Director and the agency will not always be in a leading 
     position on complex nonproliferation matters. Nonetheless, 
     the committee of conference is united in its belief that ACDA 
     should have the lead in nonproliferation matters whenever 
     appropriate and that the presumption should be, unless there 
     are compelling reasons otherwise, that ACDA will, indeed, 
     receive the President's direction to have the primary 
     responsibility.
       ACDA has the lead in the U.S. Government, for example, on 
     matters relating to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty 
     (NPT). A derivative of the NPT is the Zangger Group, founded 
     in 1971 to develop guidelines for implementation of Article 
     III.2 of the NPT. That article requires IAEA safeguards to be 
     placed on exports of nuclear material and equipment to non-
     nuclear-weapon-states. Given ACDA's long involvement with the 
     Zangger Group and the central ACDA role in nonproliferation 
     diplomacy as contained in the ACDA revitalization provisions 
     of this Act, the committee of conference concludes that 
     matters related to NPT implementation should be centralized 
     within ACDA and that consideration should be given by the 
     President to placing United States involvement in the IAEA 
     under the direct control of ACDA. An analogous situation 
     exists with the Chemical Weapons Convention and the 
     multilateral chemical export control regime, the Australia 
     Group.
       The bill does not spell out the specific involvement of 
     ACDA in matters related to export administration. For the 
     short term, the President's national security adviser has 
     assured Chairman Pell that ACDA will be fully involved with 
     other agencies with regard to exports related to conventional 
     weapons and weapons of mass destruction.
       The Senate provision abolished the General Advisory 
     Committee, a group established in statute in 1961 to advise 
     the Director on arms control and disarmament policy and 
     activities. The Senate took this action in the belief that 
     the record of the General Advisory Committee did not justify 
     the continued expense of up to about $200,000 annually. The 
     House bill had no comparable provision.
       In its stead, the committee of conference decided to 
     establish a Scientific and Policy Advisory Committee to 
     advise the President, the Secretary of State and the Director 
     regarding scientific, technical and policy matters affecting 
     arms control, nonproliferation and disarmament. The committee 
     on conference acted in the belief that ACDA requires top-
     flight scientific and technical arms control advice, 
     particularly with regard to the scope and verification of 
     treaties and agreements, as well as weapons evaluation. The 
     Agency could benefit from a body of experts that could 
     propose innovative technical and policy solutions to 
     outstanding arms control problems. Unlike the abolished 
     General Advisory Committee, which had 15 members nominated by 
     the President, by and with the advice and consent of the 
     Senate, the Chairman of the Scientific and Policy Advisory 
     Committee is the only person to be confirmed by the Senate. 
     All 15 members, of whom at least eight are to be scientists, 
     are to be appointed by the President.
       To underscore the importance the committee of conference 
     attaches to the potential work of the new Committee, the 
     conference considered it important that the new Chairman, as 
     well as other members, be of very high caliber and specified 
     that the Chairman should be a person of renown and 
     distinction. It is the intention of the committee of 
     conference that the Chairman will be conversant with a broad 
     range of arms control, disarmament, and non-proliferation 
     issues, and will have distinguished scientific and policy 
     competence. The committee of conference hopes very much that 
     this new Committee will play a valuable and significant 
     advisory role and it intends to follow the Committee's 
     activities closely. The committee of conference has decided 
     to authorize the new policy Committee for a period of two 
     years, with an eye to close examination before deciding 
     whether to establish the Committee on a permanent basis.
       The committee of conference is fully aware that ACDA, in 
     its more that 30 years of existence, has many accomplishments 
     to its credit. At the same time, ACDA has suffered from 
     periods of neglect and disinterest. The committee of 
     conference hopes that this legislation will serve to get ACDA 
     on the right track to full revitalization in the Clinton 
     Administration, as well as in administrations to follow. The 
     committee of conference notes that as the Main State Building 
     is renovated, consideration is being given to moving ACDA to 
     the Columbia Plaza building. The committee of conference 
     believes that ACDA should consider carefully the benefits of 
     moving. The increased space thus provided should be weighed 
     against the benefit of timely interaction derived from 
     staying in the Main State Building. The House Committee on 
     Foreign Affairs and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations 
     intend to follow ACDA activities closely to ensure that the 
     implementation of this legislation is handled well and has 
     the full support of the executive branch, and that ACDA takes 
     the necessary steps on its own to fulfill the promise 
     inherent in the new charter given it in this legislation.


           Part B--Amendments to the Arms Export Control Act

     Limitation on authority to transfer excess defense articles
       The Senate amendment (sec. 756) amends sections 516(b), 
     517(f) and 519(b) of the Foreign Assistance Act, and sections 
     21 and 61(a) of the Arms Export Control Act. Section 756 of 
     the Senate amendment specifies that the President must first 
     consider the effects of the transfer of excess defense 
     articles on the national technology and industrial base 
     before entering into any agreement to transfer excess defense 
     articles pursuant to sections 516(b), 517(f) and 519(b) of 
     the Foreign Assistance Act, and Sections 21 and 61(a) of the 
     Arms Export Control Act.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 731) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Reports under the Arms Export Control Act
       The Senate amendment (sec. 715) amends section 36 of the 
     Arms Export Control Act and requires that information on any 
     offset agreement entered into in connection with the sale of 
     any defense article or defense service subject to 
     congressional notification pursuant to the Arms Export 
     Control Act be included in the quarterly reports filed 
     pursuant to section 36(a) of that Act and included with the 
     information provided to Congress pursuant to section 36(b) 
     and 36(c) of that Act when the specific sale or commercial 
     export license is being considered.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 732) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but deletes the requirement with respect to 
     the quarterly reports filed pursuant to section 36(a) of the 
     Arms Export Control Act. The conference substitute modifies 
     the Senate amendment to clarify that the numbered 
     certifications provided to Congress pursuant to section 36(b) 
     and 36(c) of the Arms Export Control Act shall contain an 
     item indicating whether any offset agreement is proposed to 
     be entered into in connection with such sale or license, 
     rather than a description of any such offset agreement. The 
     conference substitute further provides that a description of 
     any such offset agreement shall be provided to the Committee 
     on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate upon the request 
     of either such committee. The conference substitute requires 
     the Department of State to obtain such offset descriptions 
     from the contractor expected to sell the defense article, 
     defense service, or design and construction service in a 
     government-to-government sale or from the applicant for a 
     export license in a commercial export. The conference 
     substitute further clarifies that such information shall only 
     be required to the extent known at the time of the 
     transmission of the certifications or at the time of a 
     response to a request made by the respective committees.
     Prohibition on incentive payments
       The Senate amendment (sec. 716) amends section 39 of the 
     Arms Export Control Act by creating a new section 39A which 
     prohibits the approval of any sale of defense articles and 
     defense services in which third-party incentive payments are 
     offered to any United States company or person to induce that 
     company or individual to purchase foreign articles, services 
     or equipment for the purposes of satisfying in whole or in 
     part, any offset agreement that is entered into in connection 
     with the sale of such defense articles or defense services.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 733) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment. The conference substitute prohibits the use 
     of incentive payments in the form of direct monetary 
     compensation made by a United States supplier of defense 
     articles and services to any other United States person to 
     induce or persuade that person to purchase or acquire goods 
     and services from the foreign purchaser of such defense 
     articles and defense services in order for the specified 
     United States supplier to secure an offset credit against a 
     previously agreed to offset agreement. In prohibiting such 
     activities, the conference substitute authorizes the 
     imposition of civil sanctions subject to the same terms and 
     conditions as provided for pursuant to the Export 
     Administration Act of 1979. The committee of conference notes 
     that direct monetary compensation includes cash payments, 
     payments made by checks and the extension of credit or 
     inducements to encourage the extension of credit from a bank 
     at lower interest rates.
       The committee of conference notes for example, if company 
     x, a United States person, were interested in buying a 
     product, a defense contractor is prohibited from offering to 
     company x a payment by cash or check as an incentive to 
     purchase that product from a foreign company rather than an 
     American company so that the defense contractor can satisfy 
     an offset agreement made in connection with an arms sale. 
     Similarly a defense contractor is prohibited from inducing or 
     persuading a financial institution from extending a lower 
     line of credit or reduced interest rates to company x with 
     the intention of inducing or persuading company x to purchase 
     a product from a foreign company to satisfy the defense 
     contractor's offset agreement.
       In citing this example, the committee of conference further 
     notes that it is not the intent of this provision to prevent 
     defense contractors from entering into offset agreements with 
     foreign purchasers or to prevent defense contractors from 
     retaining consultants or paying for legitimate services of 
     brokers and agents or use of independent contractors to 
     assist them in the lawful implementation of offset 
     agreements. The conference substitute also permits the 
     payment of ``success fees'' to consultants, brokers or agents 
     who have been retained by defense contractors (as a bonus) 
     for the lawful implementation of offset agreements. The 
     committee of conference finally notes that defense 
     contractors, their consultants, brokers or any other agents 
     are subject to the prohibition of making incentive payments 
     in the form of direct monetary compensation to induce or 
     persuade prospective United States persons to purchase 
     foreign goods and services to secure an offset credit against 
     a previously agreed to offset agreement.
       The conference substitute also levies strict civil 
     penalties against violators of this section which are 
     consistent with the penalties conferred upon departments, 
     agencies and officials in violation of similar provisions of 
     the Export Administration Act of 1979. The civil penalty for 
     each violation of this section will be $500,000 or five times 
     the amount of the prohibited incentive payment, whichever 
     amount is greater. In establishing these penalties, the 
     committee of conference notes its intent to make the 
     violation more costly to the defense contractor than any 
     benefit that could ensue to the defense contractor through 
     the offering of such incentive payments.
     Missile technology export to certain Middle Eastern and Asian 
         countries
       The Senate amendment (sec. 757) amends the Arms Export 
     Control Act to establish a rebuttable presumption that the 
     export of any item on the Missile Technology Control Regime 
     (MTCR) Annex to countries on the Terrorist List will be 
     considered to be destined for use in a Category I missile 
     system. U.S. or foreign persons involved in any such 
     transfers would be subject to sanctions. Because this section 
     establishes such a presumption it means that the U.S. and 
     foreign companies involved must demonstrate the innocence of 
     their exports in order to avoid sanctions by the U.S. 
     government.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 735) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but changes the obligatory nature of the 
     presumption to one of advice from the Congress that this 
     should be the presumption.
     Notification involving the MTCR
       The Senate amendment requires the Department of State to 
     notify Congress of exports of equipment on the Annex to the 
     Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) to space launch 
     vehicle programs 30 days in advance of the export of such 
     items. The Senate amendment also requires the Department of 
     State to notify Congress 30 days in advance of admitting a 
     new member into the MTCR.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 736) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but requires that, with respect to licenses 
     for items or services valued at $14 million or more, the 
     notifications already required under the Arms Export Control 
     Act include a rationale for approving such export, including 
     the consistency of such export with U.S. missile 
     nonproliferation policy. With respect to licenses for the 
     export of goods or services valued at less than $14 million, 
     the conference substitute requires the Department of State to 
     submit a similar report within 15 days following the issuance 
     of the license. With respect to the admission of new members 
     into the MTCR, the conference substitute requires the 
     Department of State to submit a report within 15 days 
     following the admission of a new member into the MTCR 
     describing the rationale for admitting that new member 
     together with an assessment of that country's 
     nonproliferation policies, practices, and commitments.
       Although the committee of conference did not include the 
     requirement that this report be submitted in advance of the 
     admission of new MTCR members, the committee of conference 
     expects the executive branch to consult with the Committee on 
     Foreign Affairs of the House and the Committee on Foreign 
     Relations of the Senate in advance of such admissions.
     Iran-Iraq arms nonproliferation amendments of 1994
       The Senate amendment (Title XI) imposes additional 
     mandatory and discretionary sanctions against those foreign 
     countries and persons that transfer destabilizing numbers and 
     types of advanced conventional weapons, or goods and 
     technology that assist in enhancing the capabilities of Iran 
     and Iraq to manufacture and deliver such weapons. The Senate 
     amendment includes mandatory sanctions on U.S. government 
     procurement from any person that has transferred or 
     retransferred goods or technology to the efforts by Iran or 
     Iraq to acquire destabilizing numbers and types of advanced 
     conventional weapons, and discretionary sanctions prohibiting 
     transit across U.S. territory, transactions involving 
     property, or entry into U.S. ports, with a number of 
     permitted exceptions. With respect to sanctions on foreign 
     countries, the President is urged to downgrade diplomatic 
     relations, suspend trade agreements, revoke licenses for 
     nuclear material, and suspend air carriers controlled by the 
     government of that country from transportation to or from the 
     United States. The amendment provides further for the waiver, 
     termination, or stay of such sanctions.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute is the same as the House 
     position.

      Title VIII--The Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 1994


                  Part A--Reporting on Nuclear Exports

       The Senate amendment (sec. 1311) amends section 601 of the 
     Nuclear Nonproliferation Act (NNPA), which requires the 
     President to submit an unclassified report to Congress on 
     developments with respect to the global spread of nuclear 
     weapons. The provision would expand this reporting 
     requirement to include certain details concerning exports 
     from the United States of nuclear dual-use goods, components 
     of nuclear facilities, and authorizations for the export of 
     specific nuclear technology and services. The section also 
     requires the reporting on the imposition of sanctions.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 811) contains a provision 
     similar to the Senate language


              Part B--Sanctions for Nuclear Proliferation

     Sanctions against persons
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1321) broadens presidential 
     authority to impose sanctions against foreign and domestic 
     persons that the President determines have contributed to the 
     global proliferation of nuclear weapons. Specifically, the 
     sanctions seek to deter illicit exports from the United 
     States or a foreign nation of goods or technology that would 
     assist any individual, group, or non-nuclear-weapon state to 
     acquire a nuclear explosive device or unsafeguarded special 
     nuclear material.
       The Senate amendment establishes explicit presidential 
     authority to prohibit U.S. government procurement from 
     foreign or domestic firms that have ``materially and with 
     requisite knowledge'' contributed to the proliferation of 
     nuclear explosive devices or access to unsafeguarded bomb 
     materials. The term ``with requisite knowledge'' derives from 
     the use of the term ``knowing,'' as defined in the Foreign 
     Corrupt Practices Act of 1977.
       The Senate amendment further provides a description of 
     persons against whom the sanction is to be imposed, a period 
     for government-to-government consultations with respect to 
     the sanction, a report to Congress, exceptions to the 
     sanction, circumstances for termination of the sanction, 
     waiver authority, and definitions.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 821) amends the Senate 
     provision in subsection (a) by clarifying that the sanction 
     would apply to activities of U.S. or foreign persons 
     involving the export from the United States or from any other 
     country of any goods or technology (as defined in section 
     830(1) of the conference substitute).
     Assistance under the Arms Export Control Act
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1322(a)) prohibits sales and 
     leases under the Arms Export Control Act to any country that 
     the President has determined is in material breach of its 
     binding commitments to the United States under international 
     treaties or agreements concerning the nonproliferation of 
     nuclear explosive devices and unsafeguarded special nuclear 
     material.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 822(a)) is virtually 
     identical to the Senate amendment, but makes small technical 
     changes.
     Certain waiver authorities under the Foreign Assistance Act
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1322(b)) limits the scope of the 
     Presidential Determination No. 82-7 of February 10, 1982, 
     which created an indefinite waiver of sanctions under sec. 
     670(a)(2) of the Foreign Assistance Act with respect to 
     nuclear reprocessing activities in Pakistan. The Senate bill 
     proposes to limit that waiver authority to cover Pakistani 
     activities prior to the date of enactment of this Act. The 
     Senate amendment also limits presidential waiver authority 
     with respect to uranium enrichment activities in Pakistan.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 822(b)) is virtually 
     identical to the Senate amendment, but makes small technical 
     changes.
     Role of international financial institutions
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1323) requires the Secretary of 
     the Treasury to instruct the United States executive director 
     to designated international financial institutions to use the 
     voice and vote of the United States to oppose any direct or 
     indirect use of the institution's funds to promote certain 
     activities relating to the proliferation of nuclear explosive 
     devices. The amendment further requires these directors to 
     consider, in carrying out their duties, certain factors 
     relating to nuclear nonproliferation.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 823) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but deletes the term ``direct or 
     indirect.''
     Prohibition on assisting nuclear proliferation through the 
         provision of financial services
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1324) amends the Federal Deposit 
     Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 to provide for 
     sanctions against financial institutions that knowingly and 
     materially contribute to the proliferation of nuclear 
     explosive devices through the provision of financing or other 
     services. The terms for these sanctions are substantially 
     identical to those approved by House and Senate conferees in 
     sec. 324 of the ``Omnibus Export Amendments Act of 1992'' 
     (H.R. 3489, House Report 102-1025), which was never enacted.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 824) contains the basic 
     sanctions provisions of the Senate amendment, rewrites the 
     provision as a freestanding prohibition, clarifies both 
     prohibited activities and enforcement procedures, adds a 
     provision for judicial review and injunctive relief, and 
     removes references to affiliates and successor entities.
       The committee of conference notes that the definition of 
     ``knowingly'' in the conference substitute is identical to 
     that used in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (15 
     U.S.C. 78dd-2). The committee of conference intends that 
     ``knowingly'' be interpreted exactly as it is in the Foreign 
     Corrupt Practices Act.
     Amendment to the Export-Import Bank Act
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1325) amends the Export-Import 
     Bank Act to ensure that credits issued pursuant to that act 
     are fully consistent with U.S. nuclear nonproliferation 
     objectives.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 825) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Nuclear nonproliferation controls
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1326) moves sections 669 and 670 
     of the Foreign Assistance Act, with certain amendments, into 
     the Arms Export Control Act. These sections, collectively 
     known as the ``Glenn-Symington amendments,'' require 
     sanctions under both Acts for activities related to the 
     unsafeguarded transfer of uranium enrichment technology, any 
     transfer of nuclear reprocessing technology, attempts to 
     procure bomb-related items in the United States, and 
     transfers and detonations of nuclear explosive devices. The 
     Senate amendment also adds additional sanctions against 
     transfers or detonations of nuclear explosive devices and 
     creates new sanctions (and waiver authority) against the 
     transfer of designs or components of such devices to non-
     nuclear-weapon states.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 826) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but clarifies that the determinations under 
     this section are to be made by the President; changes (in 
     accordance with the Supreme Court's Chadha ruling) the 
     requirement in the waiver provisions from a concurrent 
     resolution to a joint resolution; deletes the House expedited 
     procedures; in the House, and refines the language on 
     sanctions with respect to transfers or detonations of nuclear 
     explosive devices (or transfers of designs or components 
     thereof) to ensure that such sanctions are prospective.
     Reward
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1327) expands the authority of 
     the Secretary of State to pay rewards for information 
     concerning activities substantially contributing to the 
     acquisition of unsafeguarded special nuclear material or any 
     nuclear explosive device.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 827) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Reporting requirements
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1328) expands the reporting 
     requirements in the annual report to Congress of the Arms 
     Control and Disarmament Agency to include information 
     relating to any material noncompliance with binding 
     nonproliferation commitments. The amendment also includes a 
     sense of the Congress that the Department of State should 
     include, in fulfillment of its reporting responsibilities 
     under sec. 602(c) of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act, a 
     summary of demarches that the United States has issued or 
     received with respect to nuclear nonproliferation issues.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 828) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Technical correction
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1329) amends section 133(b) of 
     the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, striking ``20 kilograms'' and 
     inserting ``5 kilograms.'' The Senate amendment brings 
     current law up to date with existing U.S. nuclear regulatory 
     and legal standards for ensuring the physical protection of 
     highly enriched uranium (HEU). Under international guidelines 
     to which the U.S. subscribes (INFCIRC/225 and the Convention 
     on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material) the control 
     standard for HEU is 5 kilograms.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 829) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Definitions
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1330) contains several 
     definitions of terms, including ``nuclear explosive device,'' 
     which is defined explicitly for the first time in U.S. law. 
     The definition incorporates terms used during the Eisenhower 
     Administration to distinguish a nuclear from a non-nuclear 
     explosion. The term ``goods or technology'' are defined with 
     reference to the use of such term in the NNPA, and includes 
     dual-use items and all technical assistance authorized under 
     sec. 57 b. of the Atomic Energy Act.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 830) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment, and expands on the definition of 
     goods and technology.
     Effective date
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1331) provides that the subtitle 
     concerning nuclear sanctions shall take effect 60 days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 831) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment, and makes a technical change.


               Part C--International Atomic Energy Agency

     Bilateral and multilateral initiatives
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1341) expresses the sense of 
     Congress with respect to measures to maintain and enhance 
     confidence in the effectiveness of safeguards implemented by 
     the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 841) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but changes ``a prohibition on'' to ``the 
     elimination of'' in subsection (6).
     IAEA internal reforms
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1342) expresses the sense of 
     Congress encouraging the adoption of thirteen reforms in the 
     implementation of IAEA safeguards responsibilities.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 842) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Reporting requirement
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1343) expands the presidential 
     reporting requirement under section 601(a) of the Nuclear 
     Non-Proliferation Act of 1978 to include specific information 
     concerning steps to advance the Senate's twenty-four sense of 
     the Congress recommendations with respect to the IAEA.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 843) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.
     Definitions
       The Senate amendment (sec. 1344) defines a number of terms 
     in Part C.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 844) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.


                          Part D--Termination

     Termination upon enactment of the next Foreign Relations 
         Authorization Act
       The Senate amendment contains no termination date for the 
     provisions of this title.
       The conference substitute provides that the provisions of 
     this title shall cease to be effective upon the enactment of 
     the next Foreign Relations Act after this Act. Upon enactment 
     of any such Act, the amendments made by this Parts A and B of 
     title shall be repealed, and any provisions repealed by this 
     title, including specifically the repeal of sections 669 and 
     670 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, shall be 
     reinstated into law. The committee of conference agrees that 
     part C shall continue in effect indefinitely.

   Title IX--Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government Secrecy


                              Short Title

         The Senate amendment (sec. 401) provides a short title of 
     the Protection and Reduction of Government Secrecy Act for 
     purposes of this title.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 901) is identical to the 
     Senate amendment.


                                Purpose

       The Senate amendment (sec. 402) states that the purpose of 
     this title is to establish for a two-year period a commission 
     for protecting and reducing government secrecy which will 
     examine the implications of the extensive classification of 
     information and make recommendations to reduce the volume of 
     information classified.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 902) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment but clarifies that the Commission will also 
     examine and make recommendation concerning security 
     clearances.


                                Findings

       The Senate amendment (sec. 403) contains a series of 
     congressional findings regarding classification issues.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 903) is virtually identical 
     to the Senate amendment.


                      Functions of the Commission

       The Senate amendment (sec. 404) specifies that the 
     functions of the Commission shall be to conduct, for not more 
     than a period of two years, an investigation into all matters 
     in any way related to any legislation, executive order, 
     regulation, practice, or procedure relating to the access to 
     or the classification of information or involving security 
     clearances, and to make such recommendations concerning the 
     classification of national security information as the 
     Commission shall deem necessary, including proposing new 
     legislation.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 905) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but clarifies that the Commission will 
     submit its report to Congress, will make recommendations 
     regarding security clearances, and may recommend changes in 
     any procedure, rule or regulation as well as proposing 
     legislation.


                     Composition of the Commission

       The Senate amendment (sec. 405) establishes a commission to 
     carry out the purposes of this title. Such Commission shall 
     be composed of four members appointed by the President, two 
     from the executive branch and two from private life, four 
     members appointed by the President of the Senate, two who 
     shall be Members of the Senate and two from private life, and 
     four members appointed by the Speaker of the House of 
     Representatives, two who shall be Members of the House and 
     two from private life. The four Members of Congress shall be 
     equally divided between the two major political parties. The 
     Senate amendment also provides that the Commission shall 
     elect a Chairman and Vice Chairman from among its members and 
     that seven members of the Commission shall constitute a 
     quorum. The Senate amendment also fixes compensation rates 
     for members of the Commission who are not full-time officers 
     or employees of the United States or Members of Congress and 
     provides for travel expenses for the Commission where 
     necessary in the performance of services for the Commission.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 904) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but clarifies that the Minority Leader of 
     the Senate and the Minority Leader of the House of 
     Representatives shall appoint Minority Members of the 
     Commission. The conference substitute also allows the 
     Commission to begin its operation 60 days after enactment of 
     this Act provided that at least 7 members have been 
     appointed.


                        Powers of the Commission

       The Senate amendment (sec. 406) enumerates the powers of 
     the Commission, including the holding of hearings and the 
     issuance of subpoenas for testimony and/or documentary 
     evidence. The Senate amendment also authorizes the Commission 
     to secure directly information from any executive department, 
     bureau, agency board, commission, office, independent 
     establishment, or instrumentality of the U.S. Government to 
     carry out the purposes of this title.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 906) is similar to the 
     Senate amendment, but makes technical and conforming changes. 
     The conference substitute also allows the Commission to 
     accept and use gifts and use the mail in the same manner as 
     departments and agencies of the U.S. Government. The 
     conference substitute also authorizes the Secretary of State, 
     the General Services Administration, and other agencies to 
     provide assistance to the Commission to further the 
     performance of the duties of the Commission.


                        Staff of the Commission

       The Senate amendment (sec. 407) authorizes the Commission 
     to appoint and fix the compensation of such personnel as it 
     deems advisable without regard to various provisions of title 
     5 of the United States Code relating to appointments in the 
     competitive service and to classification and General 
     Schedule pay rates. The Senate amendment also authorizes the 
     Commission to procure the services of experts and 
     consultants.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (secs. 907, 908, 909) is similar 
     to the Senate amendment, but makes technical and conforming 
     changes and specifies that Federal employees may be detailed 
     to the Commission without loss of rights and status of their 
     regular employment. The conference substitute also directs 
     appropriate departments and agencies of the U.S. Government 
     to cooperate in expeditiously providing security clearances 
     to members and staff of the Commission. The conference 
     substitute clarifies that a person not otherwise qualified to 
     receive access to classified information should not be 
     granted a security clearance under this section.
     Final Report of Commission; Termination
       The Senate amendment (sec. 408) requires the Commission to 
     submit its final report to the President and the Congress not 
     later than two years after the date of enactment of this act 
     and specifies that the Commission and all authorities of this 
     title shall terminate two years after the date of enactment 
     of this act or upon the submission of the Commission's final 
     report, whichever occurs first.
       The House bill contains no comparable provision.
       The conference substitute (sec. 910) requires the 
     Commission to submit its report within two years from the 
     date of the first meeting of the Commission and terminates 
     the Commission and the authorities of this title two years 
     after the first meeting of the Commission, except that the 
     Commission may continue to function for 60 days after it 
     submits its final report in order to conclude its affairs, 
     provide testimony, and disseminate its report.
       The committee of conference notes that the Commission 
     established by this title is intended to investigate all 
     aspects of classifying and protecting information and 
     granting security clearances. The Commission has the strong 
     bipartisan support of the committee of conference which is 
     concerned that excessive government secrecy not only reduces 
     the ability of the public to participate in formulating 
     foreign policy but also makes it more difficult to protect 
     truly sensitive information. In addition, the committee of 
     conference is concerned that the process of granting security 
     clearances has by itself become an inefficient and expensive 
     aspect of the secrecy system.
       The committee of conference welcomes the agreement of the 
     Department of State to cooperate with the Commission by 
     providing appropriate office space, equipment and a limited 
     amount of staff to the Commission. While the committee of 
     conference recognizes that the Department of State creates a 
     relatively small percentage of all classified documents, it 
     believes that the Department will be a major beneficiary of 
     improvements in the secrecy system and increased public 
     participation in foreign policy debates. The committee of 
     conference urges the Department as well as other executive 
     departments and agencies to fully cooperate with the 
     Commission and to provide every appropriate assistance to its 
     efforts.
       In particular, it will be important that the appropriate 
     executive agencies and departments work expeditiously to 
     provide to the Commission members and staff appropriate 
     security clearances.
