     school), a local educational agency or school shall provide 
     to staff members of a school, and to parents, legal 
     guardians, and other persons with legal standing as parents 
     of students enrolled at the school, a notice describing the

[[Page S13062]]

       ``(iv) the following statement (including information to be 
     supplied by the school as indicated in brackets):
     `As part of a school pest management plan, __________ (insert 
     school name) may use pesticides to control pests. The 
     Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and __________ (insert 
     name of State agency exercising jurisdiction over pesticide 
     registration and use) registers pesticides for that use. EPA 
     continues to examine registered pesticides to determine that 
     use of the pesticides in accordance with instructions printed 
     on the label does not pose unreasonable risks to human health 
     and the environment. Nevertheless, EPA cannot guarantee that 
     registered pesticides do not pose risks, and unnecessary 
     exposure to pesticides should be avoided. Based in part on 
     recommendations of a 1993 study by the National Academy of 
     Sciences that reviewed registered pesticides and their 
     potential to cause unreasonable adverse effects on human 
     health, particularly on the health of pregnant women, 
     infants, and children, Congress enacted the Food Quality 
     Protection Act of 1996. That law requires EPA to reevaluate 
     all registered pesticides and new pesticides to measure their 
     safety, taking into account the unique exposures and 
     sensitivity that pregnant women, infants, and children may 
     have to pesticides. EPA review under that law is ongoing. You 
     may request to be notified at least 24 hours in advance of 
     pesticide applications to be made and receive information 
     about the applications by registering with the school. 
     Certain pesticides used by the school (including baits, 
     pastes, and gels) are exempt from notification requirements. 
     If you would like more information concerning any pesticide 
     application or any product used at the school, contact 
     __________ (insert name and phone number of contact 
     person).'.

     SEC. 337. FARMERS FOR AFRICA AND CARIBBEAN BASIN PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) many farmers in Africa and the Caribbean Basin use 
     antiquated techniques to produce crops, resulting in poor 
     crop quality and low crop yields;
       (2) many of those farmers are losing business to farmers in 
     Europe and Asia who use advanced planting and production 
     techniques and are supplying agricultural produce to 
     restaurants, resorts, tourists, grocery stores, and other 
     consumers in Africa and the Caribbean Basin;
       (3) a need exists for the training of farmers in Africa and 
     the Caribbean Basin and other developing countries in farming 
     techniques that are appropriate for the majority of eligible 
     farmers in Africa or the Caribbean Basin, including--
       (A) standard growing practices;
       (B) insecticide and sanitation procedures; and
       (C) other farming methods that will produce increased 
     yields of more nutritious and healthful crops;
       (4) African-American and other American farmers and banking 
     and insurance professionals are a ready source of 
     agribusiness expertise that would be invaluable for farmers 
     in Africa and the Caribbean Basin;
       (5) it is appropriate for the United States to make a 
     commitment to support the development of a comprehensive 
     agricultural skills training program for farmers in Africa 
     and the Caribbean Basin that focuses on--
       (A) improving knowledge of insecticide and sanitation 
     procedures to prevent crop destruction;
       (B) teaching modern farming techniques that would 
     facilitate a continual analysis of crop production, 
     including--
       (i) the identification and development of standard growing 
     practices; and
       (ii) the establishment of systems for recordkeeping;
       (C) the use and maintenance of farming equipment that is 
     appropriate for the majority of eligible farmers in Africa 
     and the Caribbean Basin;
       (D) expanding small farming operations into agribusiness 
     enterprises through the development and use of village 
     banking systems and the use of agricultural risk insurance 
     pilot products, resulting in increased access to credit for 
     the farmers; and
       (E) marketing crop yields to prospective purchasers for 
     local needs and export;
       (6) the participation of African-American and other 
     American farmers and American agricultural farming 
     specialists in such a training program promises the added 
     benefit of improving--
       (A) market access in African and Caribbean Basin markets 
     for American agricultural commodities and farm equipment; and
       (B) business linkages for American insurance providers 
     offering technical assistance on agricultural risk insurance 
     and other matters; and
       (7)(A) programs that promote the exchange of agricultural 
     knowledge and expertise through the exchange of American and 
     foreign farmers have been effective in promoting improved 
     agricultural techniques and food security; and
       (B) accordingly, the extension of additional resources to 
     such farmer-to-farmer exchanges is warranted.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section:

       (g) Selection of Participants.--
