       Sec. 535. It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the Arab League countries should immediately and 
     publicly renounce the primary boycott of Israel and the 
     secondary and tertiary boycott of American firms that have 
     commercial ties with Israel and should normalize their 
     relations with Israel;
       (2) the decision by the Arab League in 1997 to reinstate 
     the boycott against Israel was deeply troubling and 
     disappointing;
       (3) the fact that only three Arab countries maintain full 
     diplomatic relations with Israel is also of deep concern;
       (4) the Arab League should immediately rescind its decision 
     on the boycott and its members should develop normal 
     relations with their neighbor Israel; and
       (5) the President should--
       (A) take more concrete steps to encourage vigorously Arab 
     League countries to renounce publicly the primary boycotts of 
     Israel and the secondary and tertiary boycotts of American 
     firms that have commercial relations with Israel and to 
     normalize their relations with Israel;
       (B) take into consideration the participation of any 
     recipient country in the primary boycott of Israel and the 
     secondary and tertiary boycotts of American firms that have 
     commercial relations with Israel when determining whether to 
     sell weapons to said country;
       (C) report to Congress annually on the specific steps being 
     taken by the United States and the progress achieved to bring 
     about a public renunciation of the Arab primary boycott of 
     Israel and the secondary and tertiary boycotts of American 
     firms that have commercial relations with Israel and to 
     expand the process of normalizing ties between Arab League 
     countries and Israel; and
       (D) encourage the allies and trading partners of the United

     obligated only for the purpose of such earmark.

       (3) Limitation on assistance for designated countries.--In 
     the case of a country identified in a report for fiscal year

     provided under this Act to such country in fiscal year 2002 
     only if the President determines and reports to the 
     appropriate congressional committees that--
       (A) provision of such assistance to the country in such 
     fiscal year is vital to the national interests of the United 
     States; or
       (B) commencing at any time 45 days after enactment, the 
     country has made substantial efforts--
       (i) to adhere to its obligations under international 
     counternarcotics agreements; and
       (ii) to take the counternarcotics measures set forth in

       (ii) demand reduction,
       (iii) the activities of criminal organizations,

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2506) ``making 
     appropriations for foreign operations, export financing, and 
     related programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
     2002'', submit the following joint statement to the House and 
     Senate in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon 
     by the managers and recommended in the accompanying 
     conference report:

               TITLE I--EXPORT AND INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE

                Export-Import Bank of the United States


                         Subsidy Appropriation

       The conference agreement appropriates $727,323,000 for the 
     subsidy appropriation of the Export-Import Bank as proposed 
     by the Senate, instead of $738,323,000 as proposed by the 
     House. The managers have been informed that the level of 
     subsidy provided will support a projected level of 
     authorizations of $10,600,000,000 in 2002, approximately 
     $1,400,000,000 higher than the level of authorizations in 
     fiscal year 2001.


                        Administrative Expenses

       The conference agreement appropriates $63,000,000 for 
     administrative expenses of the Export-Import Bank instead of 
     $60,000,000 as proposed by the House and $64,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.

                Overseas Private Investment Corporation

       The managers are concerned about an announcement by OPIC 
     that it intends to begin making bridge loans to non-
     governmental organizations (NGOs) and private voluntary 
     organizations (PVOs). While OPIC has provided financing to 
     several PVOs since 1999, the managers are concerned that OPIC 
     has not adequately consulted and informed Congress on these 
     projects. Therefore, the managers direct the President of 
     OPIC to consult with the Committees on Appropriations in the 
     House and the Senate before any future financing for NGOs or 
     PVOs is approved.
       The managers are also concerned that significant changes to 
     the insurance market in the wake of the September 11, 2001 
     attacks against the United States may jeopardize coverage of 
     American investments overseas. The managers note that the 
     inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage could have 
     significant adverse impact on large infrastructure project 
     support by U.S. corporations, U.S. commercial banks, the 
     Export-Import Bank, and the Overseas Private Investment 
     Corporation.

                TITLE II--BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

                    Compliance With Report Language

       The managers note that at times in the past, the Department 
     of State and USAID have failed to respond to recommendations 
     in the House and Senate Appropriations Committee reports, 
     choosing instead to recognize only language in the statement 
     of the managers accompanying the Conference Report. The 
     managers expect the Department of State and USAID to follow 
     the recommendations in the House and Senate reports, unless 
     those recommendations are modified in the statement of the 
     managers. In the event that the House and Senate 
     Appropriations Committee reports contain conflicting 
     recommendations on the same subject, the managers expect the 
     Department of State and USAID to consult with the House and 
     Senate Appropriations Committees regarding those 
     recommendations.

           United States Agency for International Development


                Child Survival and Health Programs Fund

       The conference agreement appropriates $1,433,500,000 for 
     the Child Survival and Health Programs Fund instead of 
     $1,425,000,000 as proposed by the House and $1,510,500,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement also 
     continues limitations on the use of the Fund for non-project 
     assistance.
       The conference agreement includes language allocating 
     $1,430,500,000 among six program categories in the Child 
     Survival and Health Programs Fund: $315,000,000 for child 
     survival and maternal health, including vaccine-preventable 
     diseases such as polio; $25,000,000 for vulnerable children; 
     $435,000,000 for HIV/AIDS; $165,000,000 for other infectious 
     diseases; $368,500,000 for reproductive health/family 
     planning; and $120,000,000 for UNICEF. The managers expect 
     that any change proposed subsequent to the allocation as 
     directed in bill language will be subject to the requirements 
     of section 515 of the Act. A definition of program categories 
     and their components can be found on pages 9 through 11 of 
     House Report 107-142 and under the heading ``Family Planning/
     Reproductive Health'' on page 12 of Senate Report 107-58.
       Within the child survival and maternal health program, 
     authority is provided to transfer up to $53,000,000 instead 
     of $60,000,000 as proposed by the House and $50,500,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate to The Vaccine Fund established for 
     child immunization by the Global Alliance for Vaccines and 
     Immunization (GAVI). The managers continue to be supportive 
     of GAVI and again direct that the Committees be informed in 
     writing 20 days prior to the obligation of any funds for GAVI 
     on the proposed use of any U.S. contribution, particularly 
     with regard to the amount to be donated for procurement of 
     vaccines for children. Any in-kind contributions through 
     USAID should be in addition to the $53,000,000 contribution 
     to The Vaccine Fund.
       The managers note that the vulnerable children program is 
     not intended to be used to assist AIDS orphans, who will be 
     major beneficiaries of the HIV/AIDS program. Although the 
     conference agreement does not include bill language regarding 
     funding for blind children, the managers recommend not less 
     than $1,300,000 for assistance for blind children. The 
     managers support efforts to eliminate iodine deficiency 
     disorder, the leading cause of mental retardation, and expect 
     that at least $2,500,000 from the Child Survival and Health 
     Programs Fund and $2,225,000 from the Europe and Eurasia 
     regional accounts be provided for the Kiwanis International/
     UNICEF-IDD partnership program. USAID is also encouraged to 
     increase support for non-governmental organizations, such as 
     Special Olympics, that work with older children, including 
     those with cognitive disabilities and mild mental 
     retardation, to teach life and job skills. The managers 
     encourage USAID to explore expanding support for NGO programs 
     for vulnerable children and adults in Southeast Asian 
     countries where government policies impede the establishment 
     of a regular USAID mission or limit government-to-government 
     economic cooperation. The managers also direct that 
     $27,500,000 be provided to combat polio.
       The conference agreement includes $475,000,000 for HIV/
     AIDS, of which $435,000,000 is allocated within this account 
     and not less than $40,000,000 in other accounts and programs. 
     The conference agreement includes bill language on the 
     development of microbicides. The managers expect that these 
     funds will be managed by the director of the HIV/AIDS 
     division at USAID. In addition, the conference agreement 
     includes up to $10,000,000 for a United States contribution 
     to the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative.
       The managers note that the Global AIDS and Tuberculosis 
     Relief Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-264) authorized that 65 percent 
     of the HIV/AIDS funding be provided through non-governmental 
     organizations (NGOs). The managers concur that NGOs, 
     including faith-based organizations, provide invaluable 
     services in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In anticipation of an 
     increasing involvement of the public sector, particularly in 
     the areas of treatment and the provision of interventions

[[Page H10390]]

     to reduce mother-to-child transmission, the managers agree 
     that assistance provided through NGOs in cooperation with 
     a foreign government or using government facilities may be 
     counted against the 65 percent target in USAID's strategy 
     to implement the Act.
       The managers recognize the value of innovative projects to 
     combat the ever-growing HIV/AIDS pandemic. The managers are 
     aware of two innovative faith-based alliances and recommend 
     that USAID provide not less than $2,000,000 to fund proposals 
     by each NGO. The first is between a United States NGO and the 
     southern African Anglican Church to provide information and 
     communications technologies and platforms to strengthen 
     community efforts to combat HIV/AIDS in southern Africa. The 
     second is between Hope worldwide and a number of communities 
     in southern Africa. The NGO seeks to replicate and extend its 
     well-known Soweto Community Childcare program for orphans and 
     other children affected by AIDS to other sites in Africa. The 
     managers encourage USAID to seek out and support similar 
     innovative programs, especially in Africa, South and Central 
     Asia, and the Caribbean region.
       Within the overall Child Survival and Health Programs Fund, 
     authority is provided to transfer $50,000,000 to a proposed 
     global fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Of this 
     amount, $10,000,000 would be transferred from the allocation 
     for other infectious diseases, which include tuberculosis and 
     malaria. In addition, the President may use up to $50,000,000 
     from other accounts in title II of this and prior Acts for 
     the fund, for a total of $100,000,000 under the authorities 
     provided in this Act.
       The managers note that up to an additional $200,000,000 is 
     available for the proposed global fund from two other 
     appropriations Acts a total of $100,000,000 in the Child 
     Survival and Disease Programs Fund under a provision of 
     Public Law 107-20, and another $100,000,000 from H.R. 3061, 
     the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and 
     Education Appropriations Act, 2002. The managers further note 
     that the President's request for the fund is $200,000,000.
       The managers expect the Secretary of State and the 
     Secretary of Health and Human Services to report to the 
     Committees no later than April 30, 2002 on progress toward 
     establishment of a global fund to combat AIDS, tuberculosis 
     and malaria. If substantial progress has not been made by 
     August 1, 2002, in establishing a global fund on terms 
     mutually acceptable to the Secretaries and the Committees, 
     the managers expect that the funds intended to be contributed 
     to the proposed global fund will be made available for 
     obligation, as needed, for ongoing bilateral programs to 
     fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.
       The managers urge that expanded resources be made available 
     to mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) programs. As effective 
     implementation of MTCT programs will take time, during which 
     health care workers will be trained, laboratory and testing 
     facilities established, and community based care services for 
     HIV positive mothers developed, USAID not be able to meet the 
     Global AIDS Act's 8.3 percent MTCT funding target in fiscal 
     year 2002. The managers expect that USAID will achieve the 
     MTCT target by the end of fiscal year 2003.
       The conference agreement allocates $165,000,000 for other 
     infectious diseases including $65,000,000 to address the 
     global health threat from tuberculosis. The managers expect 
     that a total of at least $75,000,000 will be provided for 
     tuberculosis from all accounts.
       The other infectious diseases program also includes 
     $65,000,000 for efforts to reduce the incidence of malaria 
     and $35,000,000 for antimicrobial resistance and infectious 
     diseases surveillance. Proper antibiotic use and increasing 
     global resistance have assumed a higher priority since the 
     recent bioterrorism incidents, and the managers urge USAID to 
     reserve part of its increase in funding to invest in public/
     private partnerships and alliances that promote more prudent 
     uses of antibiotics in developing countries.
       The managers are aware that the HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and 
     malaria crises require extraordinary efforts on the part of 
     the U.S. Government. USAID is encouraged to use, as 
     appropriate, its existing waiver authorities regarding 
     financing and procurement of goods and services, and grant 
     making, in order to expedite the provision of assistance to 
     combat infectious diseases and enhance the efficiency of 
     that assistance.
       The conference agreement allocates $368,500,000 for family 
     planning/reproductive health within the Child Survival and 
     Health Programs Fund. The Senate amendment proposed that not 
     less than $395,000,000 be made available from the Child 
     Survival and Health Programs Fund to carry out section 104(b) 
     of the Foreign Assistance Act, regarding international 
     population planning assistance. The House bill allocated 
     $358,000,000 from this account for bilateral reproductive 
     health/family planning assistance. The conference agreement 
     provides overall funding of $446,500,000 for bilateral family 
     planning/reproductive health from this account, the Economic 
     Support Fund, and the regional accounts for Eastern Europe 
     and the former Soviet Union in section 522.
       As the managers are concerned about logging, poaching and 
     other development harmful to the environment in regions where 
     population pressures threaten biodiversity and endangered 
     species, such as Indonesia, Central Africa, and parts of 
     Latin America, the conference agreement includes Senate 
     language that urges USAID to undertake and implement 
     reproductive health/family planning programs in these 
     regions.
       The managers also direct USAID to continue to provide the 
     Committees with a detailed annual report not later than 
     February 28, 2002, on the programs, projects, and activities 
     undertaken by the Child Survival and Disease Programs Fund 
     during fiscal year 2001.
       Funds appropriated for the Child Survival and Health 
     Programs Fund are appropriated for programs, projects and 
     activities. Funds for administrative expenses to manage Fund 
     activities are provided in a separate account, with two 
     exceptions included in the conference agreement: authority 
     for USAID's central and regional bureaus to use up to 
     $125,000 from program funds for Operating Expense-funded 
     personnel to better monitor and provide oversight of the 
     Fund; and, in section 522, authority to use up to $15,500,000 
     to reimburse other government agencies and private 
     institutions for professional services. Any proposed transfer 
     of appropriations from the Fund for administrative expenses 
     of USAID under any other authority shall be subject to 
     section 515 of this Act.
       None of the funds appropriated under this heading or the 
     heading ``Child Survival and Disease Programs Fund'' in prior 
     Acts making appropriations for foreign operations, export 
     financing, and related programs may be allocated or reserved 
     in USAID's operating year budget for a Global Development 
     Alliance. Any proposed obligations for Global Development 
     Alliance programs, projects or activities shall be subject to 
     the regular notification procedures of the Committees on 
     Appropriations.


                         Development Assistance

       The conference agreement appropriates $1,178,000,000 for 
     ``Development Assistance'' instead of $1,098,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $1,245,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       The managers have increased funds for Development 
     Assistance above the amount requested by the President in 
     order to make additional funds available for urgent basic 
     education, environment and energy conservation, and economic 
     growth programs. Within the economic growth, agriculture and 
     trade sector, environment and clean energy, trade promotion, 
     and rule of law activities are of special interest.
       The managers have agreed to provide $150,000,000 for basic 
     education under the development assistance account, instead 
     of $135,000,000 as proposed by the House bill and the Senate 
     amendment. In addition, $15,000,000 should be derived from 
     other accounts.
       The managers also direct USAID to conduct an immediate 
     review of basic education programs in countries whose 
     assistance is primarily provided from the Economic Support 
     Fund (ESF). Widespread anti-American sentiment in 
     predominately Muslim countries has exposed a deficiency in 
     basic education within countries that have received large 
     amounts of U.S. assistance through ESF-funded programs. The 
     managers urge that cooperative efforts be initiated with ESF-
     recipient countries to develop and implement creative basic 
     education programs that strengthen the capacity and 
     accessibility of public education systems. The conferees 
     expect that expenditures from the ESF account for education 
     will increase as a result of these efforts.
       The managers continue to be concerned about worldwide 
     trafficking of women and children and urge the Department of 
     State and USAID to provide $20,000,000 from title II of this 
     Act, including not less than $1,500,000 under the heading 
     ``Independent States'' and not less than $10,000,000 under 
     the heading ``International Narcotics Control and Law 
     Enforcement'', to continue and expand anti-trafficking 
     programs.
       The conference agreement provides that, of the funds for 
     agriculture and rural development programs, $25,000,000 
     should be provided for biotechnology research and 
     development.
       The managers strongly support the fertilizer-related 
     research and development being conducted by the International 
     Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) and urge the 
     Administrator of USAID to make at least $4,000,000 available 
     to IFDC, including not less than $2,300,000 for its core 
     grant, as provided under the Senate amendment and the House 
     Report.
       The managers expect USAID to increase funding for the 
     Collaborative Research Support Programs (CRSPs) above the 
     fiscal year 2001 level. The managers recommend that USAID 
     should focus on increasing the overall funds available for 
     CRSPs, and consult with the Committees on directives included 
     in the House and Senate reports regarding funding for the 
     CRSPs. The managers note the ongoing bipartisan and bicameral 
     support for the Peanut CRSP.
       The conference agreement does not contain language proposed 
     in the Senate amendment providing up to $100,000 for an 
     assessment of the causes of flooding along the Volta River in 
     Accra, Ghana, and recommendations for solving the problem. 
     The House did not address this matter. The managers support 
     this endeavor, and expect $100,000 to be provided for the 
     assessment.
       The managers direct that not less than $500,000 be made 
     available for the United States Telecommunications Training 
     Institute, a long-standing and successful program that 
     provides communications and broadcasting training to 
     professionals around the

[[Page H10391]]

     world. The Senate amendment included bill language mandating 
     that such funds be made available for this purpose. The 
     House bill did not address this matter.
       The conference agreement provides that $18,000,000 should 
     be made available for the American Schools and Hospitals 
     Abroad (ASHA) program. The Senate amendment included bill 
     language mandating that $19,000,000 be made available for 
     this purpose. The House bill did not address this matter. The 
     managers direct ASHA to give full consideration to grant 
     proposals from all qualified institutions. These may include 
     grant proposals for curriculum, staff support, and related 
     expenses and for expansion overseas facilities owned and 
     operated by U.S. based, non-profit educational institutions. 
     No regulation, statute, or congressional directive precludes 
     ASHA funds from being utilized for these purposes.
       The managers strongly support programs to protect the 
     environment, including biodiversity and endangered species. 
     They also support sustainable use of natural resources and 
     sustainable agriculture and programs that conserve energy and 
     promote efficient energy production and use in developing 
     countries. The conference agreement includes language similar 
     to the Senate bill, which provides that $275,000,000 should 
     be made available for these activities. Of this amount, 
     $100,000,000 should be made available for programs to protect 
     biodiversity.
       The conference agreement includes language similar to the 
     Senate amendment, which provides that $2,000,000 should be 
     made available from ``Development Assistance'' and the 
     ``Child Survival and Health Programs Fund'' for activities in 
     Laos. These funds are to be made available only through 
     nongovernmental organizations to address basic human needs. 
     The managers are extremely troubled by the repressive 
     policies of the Government of Laos. In addition to condemning 
     the wholesale denial of human rights to the people of Laos, 
     particularly the Hmong, the managers are concerned about a 
     recent event in which several European nationals were 
     arrested, detained in inhumane conditions, and eventually 
     expelled from Laos for demonstrating for democracy and the 
     release of political prisoners. The House bill did not 
     address this matter.
       As a result of the situation since September 11, 2001, the 
     managers support and urge USAID to include in its initiative 
     to prevent conflict $2,500,000 to support environmental 
     threat assessments and preventive solutions. The Foundation 
     for Security and Sustainability is prepared to mobilize its 
     interdisciplinary experts to address urgent challenges such 
     as highly infectious diseases and environmental indicators to 
     provide credible warnings as they pertain to the security of 
     key regions.
       The conferees continue to strongly support dairy 
     development and urge the USAID to provide $8,000,000 to fund 
     new projects in fiscal year 2002, the same level provided for 
     the past two years. The program has helped the U.S. dairy 
     industry become more competitive through promoting American 
     technology, equipment, inputs and industry-based technical 
     assistance in developing and market transition countries.
       The managers support the language in House Report 107-142 
     regarding education and technology in Africa, especially with 
     regard to the Education of Development and Democracy 
     Initiative (EDDI) and the AFTECH initiative. As such, the 
     managers strongly recommend that $17,000,000 be made 
     available for EDDI in fiscal year 2002, instead of the 
     multiyear funding recommendation in the House Report. The 
     managers also support the Republic of Congo's (Brazzaville) 
     efforts to achieve economic self sufficiency and democratic 
     reform following its civil war. The conferees strongly 
     encourage USAID to support the Congo Republic's multi-year 
     effort to boost local production of agricultural foodstuffs. 
     This project complements the Agency's ongoing effort to 
     engage the private sector in developing methods to achieve 
     food security in Africa.
       The managers endorse House and Senate report language 
     supporting assistance for victims of torture and recommend 
     $10,000,000 for these activities, including treatment 
     centers. The managers are also aware of the Hacia La 
     Seguridad program in Quito, Ecuador and the United States-
     Honduras Program of Investments Alliance and encourage USAID 
     to consider proposals for supporting both projects. The 
     managers also endorse the Senate report language recommending 
     support for the Navsarjan Trust in India.
       The managers recognize the important contributions made by 
     American volunteers through the Citizens Democracy Corps and 
     the International Executive Service Corps (IESC), and support 
     additional funding by USAID over and above existing grants 
     and cooperative agreements for both PVOs. In particular, the 
     managers support proposals by the IESC to renew its technical 
     assistance activities in small and medium-sized enterprises 
     in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
       The managers expect USAID to comply with the House Report 
     directives, as modified below, as it develops more fully its 
     Global Development Alliance concept. Until those 
     recommendations have been implemented, as determined by the 
     Committees, any proposed obligations from Development 
     Assistance appropriations for Global Development Alliance 
     programs, projects or activities shall be subject to the 
     regular notification procedures of the Committees on 
     Appropriations on a case-by-case basis. Overall, any 
     allocation or reservation of funds for a Global Development 
     Alliance in USAID's operating year budget shall be limited to 
     $20,000,000 during fiscal year 2002.


                                 Burma

       The conference agreement contains language that provides 
     that of the funds appropriated for the Economic Support Fund, 
     not less than $6,500,000 shall be made available to support 
     democracy activities in Burma and for related activities 
     outside of Burma. These funds are available notwithstanding 
     any other provision of law, but shall be made available 
     subject to the regular notification procedures of the 
     Committees on Appropriations. The conference agreement also 
     amends a similar provision for the fiscal year 2001 
     appropriations act to provide for the use of funds 
     appropriated under ``Child Survival and Disease Programs 
     Fund'' for activities in Burma. The conference agreement does 
     not contain Senate language that conditioned the use of funds 
     on the direct involvement of the National League for 
     Democracy.
       The managers expect that programs and activities conducted 
     inside Burma will be carried out in consultation with the 
     leadership of the National League for Democracy (NLD). The 
     managers do not support the provision of any assistance to 
     the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), and encourage 
     a just and peaceful settlement to the political stalemate.
       The managers are deeply concerned with the detention of 
     Burma's legitimately elected leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, and 
     the imprisonment and torture of Burmese democracy activists. 
     The managers recognize the humanitarian crises that exist in 
     Burma today, including an explosive HIV/AIDS infection rate, 
     and condemn the repressive policies of the SPDC that directly 
     contribute to human suffering in that country. The managers 
     denounce the SPDC's efforts to obtain a nuclear reactor and 
     its recent decision to purchase ten MIG-29 fighter aircraft. 
     These funds could be better used for basic health care for 
     the Burmese people.
       The managers note that talks have taken place between the 
     NLD and the SPDC, and a few political prisoners have been 
     released. However, at the current rate it will take a decade 
     before all 1,800 political prisoners are set free. The 
     managers urge the immediate and unconditional release of all 
     prisoners of conscience in Burma. The SPDC is also urged to 
     allow NLD offices to reopen throughout Burma and to operate 
     without restriction.
       The managers request that within 90 days of enactment of 
     the Act, the Administrator of USAID, in consultation with the 
     Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs, provide a report 
     to the Committees on Appropriations on the extent of the HIV/
     AIDS epidemic in Burma, including recommendations for action 
     that the United States Government could take to limit the 
     spread of HIV/AIDS in Burma. The recommendations may not 
     include direct support to the SPDC.


                   International Disaster Assistance

       The conference agreement appropriates $235,500,000 for 
     ``International Disaster Assistance'', instead of 
     $245,000,000 as proposed by the Senate and $201,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House bill. The managers have agreed to a 
     17.5 percent increase above the request in anticipation that 
     additional resources will be needed for humanitarian 
     assistance, especially in Central America and sub-Saharan 
     Africa. The director of the Office of Foreign Disaster 
     Assistance is to consult with the Committees not less than 
     every three months, on the current status of commitments, 
     obligations, and expenditures by the Office and on any 
     proposals to augment ``International Disaster Assistance'' by 
     transfers from other accounts.
       The conferees urge USAID to at least double its disaster 
     preparedness programs and activities in South Asia by 
     initiating offers of technical assistance in this area with 
     the Governments of India and other regional states. Not less 
     than $5,000,000 should be committed by the Office of Foreign 
     Disaster Assistance to develop national and regional 
     emergency response capabilities to prevent unnecessary loss 
     of life and property during frequent natural disasters such 
     as cyclones, earthquakes and floods. This program should be 
     designed to promote regional cooperation and stability.


                         Transition Initiatives

       The conference agreement appropriates $50,000,000 for 
     ``Transition Initiatives'' to support USAID's Office of 
     Transition Initiatives (OTI). The House bill proposed 
     $40,000,000 and the Senate amendment $52,500,000 for this 
     account. The conference agreement requires that USAID submit 
     a report to the Appropriations Committees not less than five 
     days prior to beginning a new program of assistance. The 
     House bill contained a similar provision.
       The managers recognize the importance of identifying and 
     supporting women leaders in post-conflict societies, and urge 
     USAID and the Department of State to make women's leadership 
     training a central part of U.S. transition assistance to the 
     people of Afghanistan and the surrounding region. The Vital 
     Voices Leadership Institute is among the groups with the 
     expertise to move quickly to implement such a program. The 
     conferees urge USAID and the State Department to quickly 
     identify opportunities for such initiatives within 
     Afghanistan.

                      Development Credit Authority


                     (Including Transfer of Funds)

       The conference agreement appropriates up to $18,500,000 by 
     transfer from funds made

[[Page H10392]]

     available under the heading ``Development Assistance'' for 
     the cost of loans and loan guarantees for USAID's Development 
     Credit Authority, instead of $25,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate and $12,500,000 as proposed by the House. In addition, 
     the conference agreement includes urban programs among the 
     potential beneficiaries and extends the availability of the 
     credit subsidy authority until September 30, 2007, instead of 
     until expended as proposed by the Senate.

   Operating Expenses of the United States Agency for International 
                              Development

       The conference agreement includes language providing that 
     up to $10,000,000 may be made available until expended for 
     security-related costs.

   Operating Expenses of the United States Agency for International 
                              Development


                      Office of Inspector General

       The conference agreement appropriates $31,500,000 for 
     Operating Expenses of the United States Agency for 
     International Development, Office of Inspector General, 
     instead of $32,000,000 as proposed by the Senate and 
     $30,000,000 as proposed by the House. The managers encourage 
     the Inspector General to continue the policy of constructive 
     and ongoing reviews of USAID's attempts to resolve its 
     serious financial and human resource management and 
     procurement challenges. The managers also request the 
     Inspector General to inform the Committee promptly of any 
     emerging deficiencies.

                  Other Bilateral Economic Assistance


                         Economic Support Fund

       The conference agreement appropriates $2,199,000,000 for 
     the Economic Support Fund as proposed by the House instead of 
     $2,239,500,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes language that provides 
     not less than $200,000,000 for the Commodity Import Program 
     in Egypt. The Senate amendment had proposed not less than 
     $160,000,000 for this program, while the House bill did not 
     address this matter.
       The conference agreement also includes language that 
     provides that not less than $150,000,000 should be made 
     available for assistance for Jordan. The Senate language 
     would have mandated this level of support. The House bill did 
     not address this matter.
       The conference agreement also includes language that 
     provides that not less than $25,000,000 shall be made 
     available for East Timor, including up to $1,000,000 which 
     may be transferred to and merged with Operating Expenses of 
     the United States Agency for International Development. The 
     House bill did not address this matter.
       The conference agreement includes Senate language that 
     provides that not less $15,000,000 shall be available for 
     assistance for Cyprus. The House bill had similar language, 
     but it provided that $15,000,000 should be made available 
     rather than making this level mandatory.
       In addition, the conference report provides not less than 
     $35,000,000 for assistance for Lebanon. The managers are 
     concerned with the failure of the Government of Lebanon, 
     despite repeated requests at the highest levels, to enforce 
     the orders of Lebanese courts requiring the return of 
     abducted American children in Lebanon. The conference 
     agreement provides that the Government of Lebanon should 
     enforce the custody and international pickup orders, issued 
     during calendar year 2001, of Lebanon's civil courts 
     regarding abducted American children in Lebanon. The House 
     bill had language that provided this level of assistance for 
     Lebanon, but did not include Senate language regarding child 
     custody and international pickup orders.
       The managers are deeply concerned by reports that the 
     Government of Lebanon will not cooperate with the President's 
     request, made pursuant to Executive Order 13224, to freeze 
     the assets of Hezbollah, a group included on the State 
     Department's list of terrorist organizations. The managers 
     will closely monitor the Government of Lebanon's future 
     cooperation with this and other aspects of the campaign 
     against terrorism. The managers note that any funding 
     provided in this account to the Central Government of Lebanon 
     is subject to Congressional notification.
       The conference agreement includes language that provides 
     that $50,000,000 of the funds appropriated under this heading 
     should be provided for Indonesia. The Senate amendment 
     contained language that provided that $135,000,000 should be 
     provided for Indonesia from ``Economic Support Fund'', as 
     well as from ``Development Assistance'' and ``Child Survival 
     and Health Programs Fund''. The House bill did not address 
     this matter.
       The conference agreement does not include Senate language 
     providing that not less than $10,000,000 from various 
     accounts should be made available for humanitarian, economic 
     rehabilitation and reconstruction, political reconciliation 
     and related activities in Aceh, Papua, West Timor and 
     Malukus. However, the managers direct USAID to urgently 
     pursue opportunities to provide such assistance to address 
     urgent needs in these impoverished and politically volatile 
     regions. Funds made available for these purposes may be made 
     available to and managed by the Office of Transition 
     Initiatives.
       The managers remain concerned with the political situation 
     in Indonesia, and encourage the Government to continue to 
     implement needed political, legal, economic, and military 
     reforms. While the managers appreciate the complex situation 
     within Indonesia, they find criticism by President Megawati 
     Sukarnoputri of American-led efforts to counter international 
     terrorism to be dismaying.
       The managers did not include Senate language relating to 
     funding for the Documentation Center of Cambodia, but 
     recognize the vital research the Center provides to the 
     people of Cambodia on atrocities committed by the Khmer 
     Rouge. The managers expect the Department of State and USAID 
     to provide sufficient levels of funding to the Center, and 
     endorse the Senate report language on this matter. The 
     managers request the Secretary of State to report to the 
     Committees on Appropriations not later than 60 days after the 
     enactment of this Act on a multi-year funding strategy for 
     the Documentation Center of Cambodia.
       The conference agreement does not include Senate language 
     that stated that not less than $12,000,000 should be made 
     available for Mongolia. However, the managers support this 
     level of funding for assistance for Mongolia, which is 
     consistent with the budget request.
       The managers direct that $53,000,000 of the funds 
     appropriated in this account be provided for reproductive 
     health/family planning, as assumed in the budget request.
       The conferees reiterate their support for conflict 
     prevention analysis in light of the events of September 11th, 
     and urge the Administration to provide funding for groups 
     previously cited, such as the International Crisis Group, 
     whose work identifies and addresses the causes of conflict 
     and the failed states which breed terrorism. The managers 
     also reiterate support for important conflict resolution 
     programs as described in the House and Senate reports, 
     including funding of up to $1,000,000 for Seeds of Peace and 
     up to $1,000,000 for the School for International Training's 
     Conflict Transformation Across Cultures Program (CONTACT).
       The managers endorse the House report language regarding 
     support for the International Arid Lands Consortium. In 
     addition, the managers express support for the House report 
     language regarding the Blaustein Institute for Desert 
     Research.
       The conference agreement also includes House language that 
     provides that funds from this account may be used, 
     notwithstanding any other provision of law and subject to the 
     regular notification procedures of the Committees on 
     Appropriations, to provide certain specified assistance to 
     the National Democratic Alliance of Sudan. The Senate 
     amendment contained similar language, but included a ceiling 
     of $10,000,000 on funds for this purpose.
       Significant developments in Sudan have opened the door for 
     historical changes for the suffering people there. A special 
     humanitarian relief flight sponsored by the United States and 
     cleared by the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) 
     and the government of Sudan has delivered over eight 
     metric tons of wheat to the remote Nuba Mountain area that 
     had been cut off from international assistance. The United 
     States is negotiating expanded delivery of food aid 
     through air drops to the Nuba Mountains to be implemented 
     by the World Food Program. In order to set up and maintain 
     these proposed initiatives, the managers support 
     additional funding for new programs including expanded 
     access for humanitarian assistance, education, 
     agriculture, peace building, and reconciliation in war-
     affected areas of Sudan and to refugees in neighboring 
     countries.
       The conference agreement includes language that provides, 
     with respect to funds appropriated under the heading 
     ``Economic Support Fund'' in this Act or prior Acts making 
     appropriations for foreign operations, export financing, and 
     related programs, the responsibility for policy decisions and 
     justifications for the use of such funds, including whether 
     there will be a program for a country that uses those funds 
     and the amount of each such program, shall be the 
     responsibility of the Secretary of State and the Deputy 
     Secretary of State and this responsibility shall not be 
     delegated. The managers are concerned that the programs and 
     activities funded through this account accurately reflect 
     both the priorities of the Secretary of State and the budget 
     justification material provided to the Committees on 
     Appropriations, as modified by the conference agreement. The 
     managers reiterate the importance of Congressional intent in 
     the programming of funds appropriated to the Economic Support 
     Fund, and anticipate a cooperative approach during fiscal 
     year 2002 on funding allocations and programming decisions. 
     To improve accountability for the delivery of assistance, the 
     managers urge the Department of State and the Office of 
     Management and Budget to streamline the current process of 
     apportioning Economic Support Funds so that the bureau or 
     agency designated by the Secretary or Deputy Secretary to 
     obligate and manage the funds is able to do so in a more 
     efficient and timely manner.
       The managers endorse the Senate report language concerning 
     the jurisdiction of and accelerated U.S. financial support 
     for the war crimes tribunal for Sierra Leone.
       The managers encourage the State Department to support 
     programs designed to connect the information technology 
     networks of Central Asian and Central and Eastern European 
     members of the Partnership for Peace, to help strengthen 
     integration and cooperation between these nations.

                     International Fund for Ireland

       The conference agreement appropriates $25,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House. The Senate amendment contained no 
     provision on this matter.

          Assistance for Eastern Europe and the Baltic States

       The conference agreement appropriates $621,000,000, instead 
     of $615,000,000 as proposed by the Senate and $600,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House. The conference agreement also provides 
     authority to provide up to $43,000,000 for debt relief and 
     restructuring for the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), 
     of which not to exceed $21,500,000 would be derived from 
     funds appropriated in this and prior Acts under this account, 
     and not to exceed $21,500,000 would be derived from funds 
     appropriated in this and prior Acts for the Economic Support 
     Fund. The managers note that a modification of direct loans 
     and guarantees for the FRY using funds appropriated under 
     this Act or under prior year foreign operations, export 
     financing or related programs appropriations Acts shall not 
     be considered assistance for purposes of any provision of law 
     limiting assistance to a country.
       The conference report also contains Senate language making 
     a reference in paragraph (e) to paragraph (d); this is a 
     technical amendment.
       The managers recommend that $3,000,000 be provided to the 
     United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) for a program in 
     Bosnia for the protection of unaccompanied children and 
     children at risk of being institutionalized. The program 
     would focus on reforming residential institutions, 
     strengthening social welfare centers for children, and 
     helping to prevent abuse of, and violence against, children 
     in Bosnia.
       The managers direct that $10,000,000 of the funds 
     appropriated in this account be provided for reproductive 
     health/family planning.
       The managers recommend that funding should be provided for 
     the Russian, Eurasian, and East European Research and 
     Training Program (Title VIII) at a level of at least 
     $5,000,000. The managers strongly recommend that the existing 
     administrative mechanism within the Department of State for 
     the Title VIII program be preserved.

    Assistance for the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union

       The conference agreement appropriates $784,000,000, instead 
     of $768,000,000 as proposed by the House and $795,500,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes not less than $49,000,000 
     only for child survival, environmental and other health 
     activities, and programs to reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS, 
     tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases, including 
     $15,000,000 for reproductive health/family planning.
       The managers strongly support regional cooperation efforts 
     among the countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. To 
     further regional cooperation, the conference agreement 
     continues the current six exemptions from the statutory 
     restrictions on assistance to the Government of Azerbaijan. 
     The managers include a provision that funds available for the 
     Southern Caucasus may be used for confidence-building 
     measures and other activities related to the resolution of 
     regional conflicts, notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes not less than $90,000,000 
     for assistance for Armenia under the heading ``Assistance for 
     the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union'' and 
     $4,000,000 under the heading ``Foreign Military Financing 
     Program''. In addition, the managers direct that not less 
     than $300,000 be provided for Armenia under the heading 
     ``International Military Education and Training''. The 
     managers endorse the provision of $5,000,000 for an education 
     initiative, proposed by the Senate amendment, to provide 
     computer equipment, Internet access, and related assistance 
     to primary and secondary schools in Armenia, and support the 
     provision of assistance under title II of this Act for 
     programs and activities to counter weapons of mass 
     destruction, improve regional stability, increase inter-
     operational capabilities with the United States, and clear 
     land mines.
       The conference agreement includes Senate language that 
     provides a conditional waiver of section 907 of the FREEDOM 
     Support Act for the purposes of providing assistance to 
     Azerbaijan to counter international terrorism. The language 
     makes clear the intent of Congress that the provision of such 
     assistance shall not hamper or deter ongoing efforts to 
     negotiate a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabagh 
     conflict, or be used for offensive purposes against any 
     Armenian community in the Caucasus region. The waiver is 
     conditional upon cooperation with the United States in the 
     international fight against terrorism, and the managers 
     intend to review and reserve the right to amend the waiver 
     language in the fiscal year 2003 appropriations process. In 
     undertaking its review, the managers expect to consider the 
     progress of the investigation by the Government of Azerbaijan 
     into the murder of John Alvis, a democracy worker with the 
     International Republican Institute.
       The conference agreement provides that $90,000,000 of the 
     funds in this account should be provided for Georgia. The 
     managers urge the Coordinator and USAID to allocate 
     $3,000,000 for a small business project to promote private 
     sector technology start-ups in Georgia and award 
     grants directly to the ongoing Atlanta-Tbilisi 
     Partnership's Sustained Healthcare Initiative, instead of 
     through the American International Health Alliance as 
     discussed in House Report 107-142.
       The conference agreement includes language providing that 
     $154,000,000 should be made available for Ukraine, instead of 
     an earmark of $180,000,000 as proposed by the Senate and a 
     ceiling of $125,000,000 as proposed by the House. Of the 
     amount for Ukraine, not less than $30,000,000 should be 
     provided for nuclear reactor safety programs. The managers 
     also support the initiation of simulator projects at the 
     Rivne and the Khmelnitsky reactors, and the provision of 
     related safety simulator equipment at other reactors. The 
     managers have also included a Senate provision requiring the 
     Department of State to report on the progress in resolving 
     the murders of Ukrainian journalists. The managers endorse 
     House report language on child survival and health activities 
     in Ukraine.
       The managers have concluded that assistance for Ukraine can 
     succeed only if the Government of Ukraine is committed to 
     economic, legal, and democratic reforms. The managers note 
     that assistance to Ukraine takes on heightened significance 
     as Ukraine prepares for parliamentary elections in March 
     2002, the outcome of which may determine the country's future 
     direction.
       The conference agreement includes conditions on assistance 
     to the Government of the Russian Federation, with exceptions 
     for specified humanitarian and security programs, with 
     respect to its adherence in the Northern Caucasus to certain 
     conventional arms and human rights conventions and 
     agreements, as proposed by both the House and the Senate. The 
     managers reiterate language in the Statement of the Managers 
     from prior years with regard to other limitations on 
     assistance, ``that assistance to combat infectious diseases, 
     . . . support for regional and municipal governments, and 
     partnerships between United States hospitals, universities, 
     judicial training institutions and environmental 
     organizations and counterparts in Russia should not be 
     affected by this section.''
       The conference agreement includes language providing not 
     less than $17,500,000 for the Russian Far East. The Senate 
     amendment had included not less than $20,000,000 for this 
     purpose. This matter was not addressed in the House bill.
       The conference agreement does not include Senate bill 
     language providing that not to exceed 8 percent of the funds 
     provided for any single nuclear safety project may be used to 
     pay for management costs incurred by a United States agency 
     or national lab in administering said project. The House did 
     not address this matter. The managers endorse this cap on 
     management costs.
       The conference agreement again directs the Coordinator of 
     Assistance to the Independent States to obligate not less 
     than $1,500,000, primarily through locally-based and 
     indigenous private voluntary organizations, to reduce 
     trafficking in women and children. The managers urge the 
     Coordinator to augment anti-trafficking projects by 
     continuing and strengthening law enforcement and other 
     activities to reduce all forms of violence against women.
       United States national security interests in Central Asia 
     intensified as a result of the September 11th attack on the 
     United States. The managers recognize that countries in the 
     region are playing a supportive role in the international 
     coalition allied against terrorism and are on the front line 
     of U.S. efforts to isolate and destroy the Al Queda network.
       The managers believe that the United States should develop 
     a targeted foreign aid response for Central Asia to counter 
     the destabilizing effects of the war against terrorism. As 
     part of this response, the United States should actively 
     consider micro-lending institutions. Such organizations can 
     serve as a vehicle for increasing the economic participation 
     and security of the working poor and thus constitute a 
     strategy to limit further marginalization and foster 
     economic stability and democracy in the region.
       While only a fraction of the population of the Central Asia 
     region has access to financial services, certain countries 
     have strong or emerging micro-finance sectors. Kyrgyzstan has 
     positioned itself as the regional leader in micro-enterprise 
     development. In Pakistan, the government has recently taken 
     steps to promote the development of a micro-finance industry.
       The managers believe that micro-enterprise development is a 
     potentially powerful tool in striking at the root causes of 
     instability that arise from the economic disenfranchisement 
     of peoples in the Central Asia region. The managers request 
     that USAID provide, in coordination with the National 
     Security Council, the Department of the Treasury, and the 
     Office of Management & Budget, an addendum to the micro-
     enterprise report to Congress required by March, 2002 under 
     the provisions of P.L. 106-309.
       The managers recommend $2,000,000 to support expansion of 
     the Primary Healthcare Initiative to become self-sustaining.
       The managers remain concerned that the initial budget 
     request for the U.S. Russia Investment Fund (TUSRIF) is 
     inadequate. The managers therefore urge that the Fund receive 
     no less than an additional $50,000,000 in fiscal year 2002. 
     As with the enterprise fund

[[Page H10394]]

     in Poland the managers expect that more rapid capitalization 
     of TUSRIF will lead over time to a similar repatriation of 
     foreign aid funds to the U.S. Treasury. In return for a more 
     rapid rate of investment the conferees also expect that 
     TUSRIF will develop more opportunities for United States 
     companies and investors throughout Russia.
       The managers endorse House Report language under the 
     heading ``Expanded Threat Reduction'' regarding collaborative 
     research grants for American and Russian scholars.

                          Independent Agencies

                       Inter-American Foundation

       The conference agreement appropriates $13,106,950 as 
     proposed by the Senate instead of $12,000,000 as proposed by 
     the House.

                     African Development Foundation

       The conference agreement appropriates $16,542,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate instead of $16,042,000 as proposed by 
     the House.

                          Department of State


          international narcotics control and law enforcement

       The conference agreement provides that $10,000,000 should 
     be made available for anti-trafficking in persons programs, 
     as proposed by the Senate. The House addressed this matter in 
     a general provision.
       The conference agreement makes available $21,738,000 for 
     administrative expenses instead of $16,600,000 as proposed by 
     the House and the Senate.
       The managers endorse House report language regarding 
     $10,000,000 in anti-crime programs for Africa.


                     Andean Counterdrug Initiative

       The conference agreement appropriates $625,000,000, instead 
     of $675,000,000 as proposed by the House and $547,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       Additionally, the conference agreement allows for the 
     authority to provide up to $35,000,000 through a permissive 
     transfer from the International Narcotics Control and Law 
     Enforcement funds. The managers intend that this 
     discretionary authority shall apply only to funds within the 
     International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement account 
     in this Act and in prior Acts making appropriations for 
     foreign operations, export financing, and related programs. 
     Such a transfer is subject to the regular notification 
     procedures of the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations. In the event of such a transfer, the managers 
     intend for the funds to support interdiction, alternative 
     development, or other economic assistance to the Andean 
     countries. The managers emphasize that there are other funds 
     for Andean nations in this Act that may be made available for 
     the Andean Regional Initiative (ARI).
       The conference agreement includes no earmarks for Bolivia, 
     Ecuador, or Venezuela as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     did not address this matter. The managers strongly support 
     the provision of $86,000,000 for assistance for Bolivia, and 
     $33,000,000 for assistance for Ecuador. The managers note the 
     success these countries have had in combating narcotics 
     cultivation and trafficking, and expect the Department of 
     State to ensure that successful programs and activities 
     continue under the ARI.
       The conference agreement does not include Senate bill 
     language making available $2,000,000 for democracy-building 
     activities in Venezuela. The managers strongly support 
     efforts to promote democracy, the rule of law, and civil 
     society in Venezuela and note with concern that the country 
     remains a significant transit route for illegal drugs 
     destined for the United States.
       The conference report does not include language proposed by 
     the Administration that would have exempted funds 
     appropriated in fiscal year 2002 and subsequent fiscal years 
     from the limitation imposed in section 3204(a) of the 
     Emergency Supplemental Act, 2000 (P.L. 106-246). It is the 
     conferees' understanding that funds appropriated in this Act 
     that are made available in support of Plan Colombia satisfy 
     the conditions set forth in section 3204(a) of the Emergency 
     Supplemental Act, 2000 (P.L. 106-246).
       The managers are concerned that funds included in P.L. 106-
     246 for assistance for the Colombian Fiscalia Human Rights 
     Office, have been allocated without consultation with the 
     Appropriations Committees for purposes that do not address 
     this unit's priority needs of security, mobility and 
     communications equipment for prosecutors, in particular for 
     those prosecutors based in secondary cities and outlying 
     regions. The managers direct the Department of State and 
     Department of Justice to consult with the committees prior to 
     the obligation or expenditure of funds appropriated in this 
     Act or in P.L. 106-246 for administration of justice programs 
     in Colombia regarding the use of such funds.
       The Colombian National Police (CNP) anti-drug unit has the 
     lead law enforcement role in the overall fight against 
     illicit drugs and a commendable human rights record. The CNP 
     has already been provided at least 8 Black Hawks and nearly 
     30 Huey II helicopters by the United States to carry out this 
     important drug fighting function including providing 
     protection of the eradication planes. The managers believe it 
     is vital that the CNP now be provided adequate spare parts 
     and maintenance monies to keep this equipment flying at the 
     high rates of operation that has been seen to date. The 
     managers expect the Department of State to maximize the U.S. 
     investment in these expensive helicopters and other equipment 
     provided the CNP by providing adequate parts.
       The conference agreement includes language, similar to the 
     Senate amendment, requiring consultations, a determination 
     and report by the Secretary of State to ensure that chemicals 
     used in the aerial fumigation of coca do not pose 
     unreasonable health or safety risks to humans or the 
     environment, and that the fumigation is conducted in 
     accordance with regulatory controls in the U.S. as described 
     in the January 23, 2001 State Department health and safety 
     report on aerial spraying. Additionally, the managers have 
     required the Secretary of State to consult with the Colombian 
     government to ensure that the spraying is in accordance with 
     Colombian laws.
       The managers are concerned with the lack of effective 
     procedures for evaluating claims of local citizens that their 
     health was harmed or their licit agricultural crops were 
     damaged by such fumigation. The managers are informed that, 
     in order to correct these problems, new procedures for 
     handling claims have been put in place. The conference 
     agreement requires the Secretary to determine and report that 
     procedures are available to evaluate such claims, and the 
     managers direct the Secretary to report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations not later than 90 days after enactment on the 
     effectiveness of these new procedures.
       The managers are concerned that coca eradication in some 
     areas has proceeded before effective alternative development 
     programs have been in place, and that some farmers in those 
     areas have already replanted coca. In order to ensure that 
     farmers whose coca is eradicated have alternative sources of 
     income, access to markets and social services, the Conference 
     Agreement includes Senate language requiring that within 6 
     months of the date of enactment alternative development 
     programs have been developed in consultation with communities 
     and local authorities in each department in which aerial 
     fumigation is planned, and that such programs are being 
     implemented in each department in which aerial coca 
     fumigation has been conducted.
       The conference agreement includes the Senate provision 
     requiring the return of any helicopter found to aid or abet 
     paramilitary groups. The House did not address this matter.
       While the managers fully appreciate the linkages between 
     narco-traffickers and Colombian guerrilla movements and 
     paramilitary organizations, they remain concerned with the 
     prospects of involvement by the United States in Colombia's 
     civil war. The managers strongly express reservations and 
     objections to any mission creep in Colombia beyond ongoing 
     counterdrug efforts.
       The conference agreement includes a provision prohibiting 
     funds for the resumption of flights in support of a Peruvian 
     air interdiction program until a system of enhanced 
     safeguards are in place. The conference agreement differs 
     from the conditions on funding for Peru as proposed by the 
     House. The first condition, the submission of a report by the 
     Secretary of State, has been provided to the Congress. The 
     second condition requires that the resumption of flights in 
     Peru must include enhanced safeguards, and to date the State 
     Department has not decided to resume flights in Peru. The 
     Senate did not address this matter.
       The conference agreement makes available $14,240,000 for 
     administrative expenses of the Department of State and 
     $4,500,000 for the U.S. Agency for International Development.


                    Migration and Refugee Assistance

       The conference agreement appropriates $705,000,000, instead 
     of $715,000,000 as proposed by the House and $735,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The primary reason for this level of 
     funding is that $100,000,000 in supplemental funding for 
     Migration and Refugee Assistance has already been provided to 
     deal with the refugee crisis in Central Asia, which will help 
     to relieve pressure on the fiscal year 2002 budget for this 
     account. The managers expect that this level of funding 
     will not be misinterpreted as a lack of support for 
     Migration and Refugee Assistance by the Administration 
     when submitting future budget requests. The conference 
     agreement makes available $16,000,000, for administrative 
     expenses as proposed by the Senate instead of $15,000,000 
     as proposed in the House.
       Although refugee crises are often temporary, the managers 
     are aware that in many instances it is necessary to provide 
     relief services over an extended period of time. The managers 
     encourage USAID and the State Department to invest in basic 
     health, education services, and food production industries in 
     developing countries where there are longer-term refugee 
     crises.
       The conference agreement prohibits funds for headquarters 
     costs of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) 
     until the Secretary of State certifies that the Magen David 
     Adom Society of Israel is not being denied participation in 
     ICRC activities, as proposed by the House. The Senate 
     amendment did not address this matter.
       The managers are concerned with the increasing dangers 
     facing humanitarian relief workers in conflict zones, and 
     endorse Senate report language directing the Secretary of 
     State to submit a report by April 1, 2002, on efforts to 
     improve the safety of relief workers.
       The conference agreement also includes Senate language that 
     provides not less than $60,000,000 for refugees from the 
     former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe and other refugees 
     resettling in Israel. The House bill did not address this 
     matter.

    Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs

       The conference agreement appropriates $313,500,000 instead 
     of $311,000,000 as proposed by the House and $318,500,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The managers intend that funds in this account be allocated 
     as follows:

                       [In thousands of dollars]

Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund...........................$14,000
Export control assistance........................................17,000
International Atomic Energy Agency...............................50,000
CTBT Preparatory Commission......................................20,000
Korean Peninsula Economic Development Organization (KEDO)........90,500
Anti-terrorism assistance........................................38,000
Terrorist Interdiction Program....................................4,000
Demining.........................................................40,000
Small arms destruction............................................3,000
Science Centers..................................................37,000
    Total.......................................................313,500

       The conference agreement includes language that requires 
     that the Secretary of State inform the Committees on 
     Appropriations at least 15 days prior to the obligation of 
     funds for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) 
     Preparatory Commission. The House bill would have required a 
     20 day informational period, while the Senate amendment would 
     have required a 10 day informational period.
       The conference agreement includes Senate language 
     authorizing not to exceed $500,000 for administrative 
     expenses associated with the demining program. The House bill 
     did not address this matter. The conference agreement does 
     not contain Senate language stating that $40,000,000 should 
     be used for demining, clearance of unexploded ordnance and 
     related activities; however, the managers support the 
     budget request of $40,000,000 for these purposes.
       The conference agreement does not contain Senate language 
     providing that $3,500,000 should be available to support the 
     Small Arms Destruction Initiative. The managers strongly 
     support a level of $3,000,000 for this program and endorse 
     the Senate report language on this matter.

                       Department of the Treasury


               International Affairs Technical Assistance

       The conference agreement provides $6,500,000 for the 
     International Affairs Technical Assistance program of the 
     Department of the Treasury, instead of $6,000,000 as proposed 
     by the House, the Senate, and the President's request. The 
     managers direct that the additional $500,000 be used to 
     assist HIPC countries in Africa and will be in addition to 
     the $3,000,000 already dedicated to existing Treasury 
     International Affairs Technical Assistance programs and 
     activities in Africa.

                           debt restructuring

       The conference agreement appropriates $229,000,000 for debt 
     restructuring instead of $224,000,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $235,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     managers make available $5,000,000 in fiscal year 2002 funds 
     and up to $20,000,000 from unobligated balances for 
     implementation of the Tropical Forest Conservation Act. The 
     remainder of the amount provided for debt restructuring may 
     be used at the Administration's discretion, subject to 
     certain reporting and notification requirements, either for 
     bilateral debt restructuring or for United States 
     contributions to the Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) 
     Trust Fund administered by the World Bank.

                     TITLE III--MILITARY ASSISTANCE

             International Military Education and Training

       The conference agreement appropriates $70,000,000, instead 
     of $65,000,000 as proposed by the House and $75,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement also 
     contains language providing that up to $3,000,000 may be 
     available until expended, instead of $1,000,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $5,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement does not include Senate language 
     that would have required notification for assistance for 
     Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cote D'Ivoire and 
     the Gambia. The managers note that assistance for Zimbabwe 
     and the Democratic Republic of Congo is subject to the 
     notification provisions of section 520 of this Act. Prior to 
     any decision to obligate funds for Cote D'Ivoire, the 
     managers expect that the Departments of State and Defense 
     will consult with the Committees on Appropriations.
       The conference agreement provides that funding for Algeria 
     shall be subject to the regular notification procedures of 
     the Committees on Appropriations as proposed by the Senate. 
     The House bill did not address this matter.
       The conference agreement does not contain language that 
     would have provided not less than $600,000 for Armenia. 
     However, the managers support funding for a program for 
     Armenia at a level of not less than $300,000.
       The managers urge that a program for Colombia to define 
     structures and processes for responding to armed conflict and 
     maintaining civilian control of the military be considered at 
     the Naval Postgraduate School.

                   Foreign Military Financing Program

       The conference agreement appropriates $3,650,000,000 
     instead of $3,627,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $3,674,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes Senate language that 
     provides not less than $75,000,000 for assistance for Jordan. 
     The House bill did not address this matter.
       The conference agreement includes language that provides 
     that not less than $3,500,000 in grant assistance should be 
     made available for Tunisia, as well as language mandating not 
     less than $5,000,000 in drawdowns of defense articles, 
     services, and education and training for Tunisia. The Senate 
     amendment directed the allocation of $5,000,000 and 
     $5,000,000, respectively, for these activities. The House 
     bill did not address this matter.
       The conference agreement contains language that provides 
     not less than $2,300,000 for assistance for Thailand, of 
     which not less than $1,000,000 shall be derived from funds 
     appropriated under the heading ``International Narcotics 
     Control and Law Enforcement'' in addition to funds otherwise 
     available for such purposes. The Senate amendment proposed 
     similar language, but did not address a transfer from 
     ``International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement''. The 
     House bill did not address this matter. The managers are 
     agreed that this grant assistance shall be made available for 
     one-time costs associated with border security.
       The conference agreement contains Senate language that 
     provides not less than $4,000,000 for assistance for Armenia. 
     The House bill did not address this matter.
       The conference agreement also contains Senate language that 
     amends the ninth proviso under this heading in Public Law 
     106-429 to allow for a mandated drawdown of defense articles, 
     services, and education and training for Georgia for 2001 or 
     2002. The House bill did not contain a provision on this 
     matter.

                        Peacekeeping Operations

       The conference agreement appropriates $135,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House instead of $140,000,000 as proposed by 
     the Senate.

               TITLE IV--MULTILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

                  International Financial Institutions


                      Global Environment Facility

       The conference agreement appropriates $100,500,000 for the 
     Global Environment Facility instead of $82,500,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $109,500,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.


       Contribution to the International Development Association

       The conference agreement appropriates $792,400,000 instead 
     of $803,400,000 as proposed by the House and $775,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The managers have included modified 
     language as proposed by the Senate, regarding instructions to 
     the U.S. executive director to the International Bank for 
     Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) to vote against water 
     or sewage projects in India that do not prohibit the use of 
     scavenger labor. The House did not address this matter. 
     Manual scavenging is a particular occupation in India only 
     for Dalits or ``untouchables'' that entails waste collection 
     and disposal through primitive and squalid means. Over 
     500,000 Dalits in India are employed as manual scavengers, 
     and Dalits who seek to avoid this demeaning and unhealthy 
     labor are often denied other jobs. India is one of the 
     largest borrowers from the World Bank with over $11 billion 
     in IBRD loans in 2001, some of which fund government 
     sanitation programs. Given that the Indian government has 
     banned manual scavenging, once these laws are implemented 
     there would be other employment opportunities for Dalits. The 
     managers urge the IBRD to work with the Indian government to 
     improve the economic and social status of Dalits.


      Contribution to the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency

       The conference agreement appropriates $5,000,000 for paid-
     in capital for the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency. 
     Approval for a subscription to the appropriate amount of 
     callable capital is also included in the conference 
     agreement. The House and Senate included authority for 
     callable capital only.


       Contribution to the Inter-American Investment Corporation

       The conference agreement appropriates $18,000,000 for a 
     United States contribution to the Inter-American Investment 
     Corporation, instead of $10,000,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $20,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.


               Contribution to the Asian Development Fund

       The conference agreement appropriates $98,017,050 for the 
     Asian Development Fund, instead of $93,017,050 as proposed by 
     the House and $103,017,050 as proposed by the Senate.


                International Organizations and Programs

       The conference agreement provides $208,500,000 instead of 
     $196,000,000 as proposed by the House and $218,000,000 as 
     proposed by Senate.
       The conference agreement provides that $6,000,000 should be 
     made available for the World Food Program, as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House did not include this language.
       The managers support $5,000,000 from this account for a 
     United States contribution to the United Nations Voluntary 
     Fund for Victims of Torture Program, as recommended in the 
     House and Senate Reports, and $97,100,000 for the United 
     Nations Development Program, as recommended in the House and 
     Senate Reports.
       The conferees urge that $60,000 be provided to cover the 
     expenses relating to the development of a Guide to Best 
     Practice by the

[[Page H10396]]

     Permanent Bureau of the Hague Convention on Private 
     International Law to cover the application of the Hague 
     Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child 
     Abduction.
       The managers intend that funds in this account be allocated 
     as follows:

                       [In thousands of dollars]

UN Fund for Tech. Cooperation in Human Rights....................$1,500
UN Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture..........................5,000
OAS Fund for Strengthening Democracy..............................2,500
World Food Program................................................6,000
UNDP.............................................................97,100
UNIFEM............................................................1,000
OAS Development Assistance........................................5,500
WTO...............................................................1,000
ICAO Aviation Programs..............................................300
UNEP.............................................................10,750
Montreal Protocol................................................25,000
International Conservation Programs (CITES/ITTO/IUCN/Ramsar/CCD)..7,700

UNFPA............................................................37,500
    Total.......................................................208,500

                      TITLE V--GENERAL PROVISIONS

       (Note: If House and Senate language is identical except for 
     a different section number or minor technical differences, 
     the section is not discussed in the Statement of Managers.)
     Sec. 505. Limitation on Representational Allowances
       The conference agreement sets a limitation of $125,000 on 
     representation allowances from funds appropriated under 
     ``Foreign Military Financing Program,'' instead of $150,000 
     as proposed by the House and $100,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
     Sec. 507. Prohibition Against Direct Funding for Certain 
         Countries
       The conference agreement does not include Senate language 
     that adds a prohibition of direct assistance to the 
     government of any nation that the President determines is 
     harboring, has financed, or is financing terrorists involved 
     in the attacks of September 11, 2001. The House did not 
     include such a provision. The managers note that the 
     President has the authority to undertake this action and are 
     confident he will exercise this authority should the need 
     arise.
     Sec. 508. Military Coups
       The conference agreement includes revised language that 
     specifies that funds shall be prohibited for the government 
     of any country whose duly elected head of government is 
     deposed by decree or military coup, but it does not include 
     broader conditions for the resumption of assistance, as 
     proposed by the House. The House bill and the Senate 
     amendment did not include the words ``government of''. Prior 
     year language has been further modified to permit the 
     provision of assistance to promote democratic elections or 
     public participation in democratic processes.
     Sec. 515. Notification Requirements
       The conference agreement reflects a technical change 
     proposed by the Senate to include ``Andean Counterdrug 
     Initiative'' in the list of accounts that are subject to 
     notification pursuant to this section. The House did not 
     address this matter. The conference agreement does not 
     include Senate language, not in the House bill, that imposed 
     notification requirements on drawdowns pursuant to section 
     506(a)(2) of the Foreign Assistance Act. The managers note 
     that section 506(b)(1) of such Act already requires 
     notifications for drawdowns made for the purposes and under 
     the authorities of several provisions of law, including 
     chapter 8 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act relating to 
     international narcotics control assistance.
     Section 518. Prohibition on Funding for Abortions and 
         Involuntary Sterilization
       The conference agreement does not include prior year 
     language prohibiting the use of funds to lobby for or against 
     abortion, as proposed by the House bill. The conference 
     agreement moves the ban on use of funds for lobbying to 
     language under the heading ``Child Survival and Health 
     Programs Fund'', as proposed by the Senate amendment.
     Sec. 520. Special Notification Requirements
       The conference agreement adds ``Serbia'' as proposed in the 
     Senate amendment to the list of countries subject to the 
     special notification procedures of this section, but does not 
     include ``Burma'', ``Ethiopia'' and ``Eritrea'' as 
     recommended by the Senate.
     Sec. 522. Child Survival and Health Activities
       The conference agreement authorizes USAID to use up to 
     $15,500,000 from the ``Child Survival and Health Programs 
     Fund'' and up to $3,000,000 from ``Development Assistance'' 
     for technical experts from other government agencies, 
     universities, and other institutions. The managers have 
     increased this authority in order to accelerate 
     implementation and oversight of USAID's expanded infectious 
     disease and basic education activities. The managers direct 
     USAID to provide the Committees with a detailed multi-year 
     workforce planning strategy not later than March 15, 2002, 
     that includes target dates and anticipated costs or savings 
     to replace or reclassify the majority of the additional 
     temporary personnel authorized by this section and by section 
     534(c) with direct hire USAID Operating Expenses-funded 
     personnel.
       A new subsection provides that $446,500,000 shall be made 
     available for reproductive health/family planning activities 
     from funds appropriated by this Act, including $368,500,000 
     from the Child Survival and Health Programs Fund, $53,000,000 
     from the Economic Support Fund, $15,000,000 from Assistance 
     to the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union, and 
     $10,000,000 from Assistance to Eastern Europe and the Baltic 
     States. The managers have provided these funds in recognition 
     of the continuing unmet need for basic reproductive health/
     family planning services in developing countries, where 95 
     percent of new births will occur. The managers have 
     designated funds for the two regions of Eastern Europe and 
     the former Soviet Union where the high frequency of 
     abortion adversely affects women's reproductive health.
     Section 523. Prohibition Against Indirect Funding to Certain 
         Countries
       The conference agreement does not include Senate language 
     that adds a prohibition of indirect assistance to the 
     government of any nation that the President determines is 
     harboring, has financed, or is financing, terrorists involved 
     in the attacks of September 11, 2001. The House did not 
     include such a provision. The managers note that the 
     President has the authority to undertake this action and are 
     confident he will exercise this authority should the need 
     arise.
     Sec. 525. Authorization Requirement
       The conference agreement includes language that provides 
     that funds appropriated by this Act may be obligated and 
     expended notwithstanding section 10 of Public Law 91-672 and 
     section 15 of the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 
     1956, as provided in the House bill and the Senate amendment. 
     It includes Senate language exempting the accounts 
     ``International Military Education and Training'' and 
     ``Foreign Military Financing Program'' from these waivers.
     Sec. 526. Democracy Programs
       The conference agreement contains language in subsection 
     (a) that authorizes funding for certain democracy programs. 
     It includes language similar to the Senate amendment that 
     provides that not less than $10,000,000 shall be made 
     available for activities to support democracy, human rights, 
     and the rule of law in the People's Republic of China. Of 
     these funds, the managers support the programming of not less 
     than $5,000,000 through the Human Rights and Democracy Fund 
     of the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, 
     Department of State. In addition, subsection (a) authorizes 
     funding of not to exceed $3,000,000 for nongovernmental 
     organizations located outside the People's Republic of China 
     to support activities that preserve cultural traditions and 
     promote sustainable development and environmental 
     conservation in Tibetan communities in Tibet, as authorized 
     in the House bill. The House bill did not address democracy 
     activities in China. The managers are aware of the valuable 
     assistance the Bridge Fund has provided to promote Tibetan-
     owned and operated businesses and educational, cultural, and 
     natural resource conservation projects and urge that 
     substantial funds be made available to the Bridge Fund and 
     its subgrantees.
       The conference agreement does not include Senate language 
     that would have authorized funding of activities of the 
     United States-Asia Environmental Partnership within China. 
     The House bill did not address this matter.
       The managers intend that within the amount identified 
     above, funds be made available to continue support for 
     democracy programs for Tibet and China as described in the 
     House report.
       The conference agreement also includes language in 
     subsection (b) that recommends that not less than $10,000,000 
     from funds appropriated to the Economic Support Fund should 
     be made available for programs and activities to foster 
     democracy, human rights, press freedoms, women's development, 
     and the rule of law in countries with a significant Muslim 
     population, and where such programs and activities would be 
     important to United States efforts to respond to, deter, or 
     prevent acts of international terrorism. The language further 
     specifies that such funds should support new initiatives or 
     bolster ongoing programs and activities in those countries, 
     and that not less than $6,000,000 should be made available 
     for the State Department's Human Rights and Democracy Fund of 
     the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, and not 
     less than $4,000,000 should be made available for the 
     National Endowment for Democracy (NED). The funds for NED 
     should be made available using the authority of section 
     632(b) of the Foreign Assistance Act. The conference 
     agreement is similar to language contained in section 592 
     of the Senate amendment. The House bill did not address 
     these matters.
       The conference agreement does not contain language 
     allocating not less than $2,000,000 for programs and 
     activities that train emerging Afghan women leaders in civil 
     society development and democracy building. However, the 
     managers strongly support such programs and urge the 
     Department of State to provide up to $2,000,000 for such 
     activities.
       In addition to the funding authorized in this section and 
     ongoing funding to support the maintenance of the Reagan/
     Fascell Fellowship Program, the managers support the

[[Page H10397]]

     budget request for the Human Rights and Democracy Fund of the 
     Department of State.
     Sec. 532. Authorities for the Peace Corps, Inter-American 
         Foundation, and African Development Foundation
       The conference agreement does not include language, as 
     proposed by the Senate, to include a waiver of prohibitions 
     against certain activities for the International Fund for 
     Agricultural Development (IFAD) from International 
     Organizations and Programs funds. IFAD is no longer funded 
     from the International Organizations and Programs account.
     Sec. 534. Special Authorities
       The conference agreement deletes language proposed by the 
     House that provided that section 576 of the Foreign 
     Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Act, 1997, 
     as amended, shall not apply to the provision of assistance to 
     the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The Senate amendment 
     contained identical language in a general provision, and this 
     matter is addressed in section 584 of the conference 
     agreement.
       The conference agreement does not contain language from the 
     House bill that was not in the Senate amendment that would 
     have subjected energy programs aimed at reducing greenhouse 
     gas emissions to the regular notification requirements of the 
     Committees on Appropriations. In addition, it does not 
     contain a reference in the Senate amendment that was not in 
     the House bill that adds the Global Development Alliance 
     initiative to the provisions of this section.
       The conference agreement authorizes the President to use up 
     to $45,000,000 under the authority of section 451 of the 
     Foreign Assistance Act, rather than $50,000,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $35,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes language from the Senate 
     amendment that was not in the House bill that states that in 
     entering into multiple award indefinite-quantity contracts, 
     USAID may provide an exception to the fair opportunity 
     process for placing task orders under such contracts when the 
     order is placed with any category of small or small 
     disadvantaged business.
       The managers request that USAID place a high priority on 
     generating meaningful opportunities for small businesses to 
     compete for procurement of the agency. Specifically, of the 
     multiple award indefinite quantity contract that will replace 
     the current Support for Economic Growth and Institutional 
     Reform/Legal and Institutional Reform contract, the managers 
     support USAID's decision to define ``fair opportunity'' for 
     task orders in excess of $750,000 as requiring the submission 
     of resumes of proposed personnel or technical proposals from 
     businesses eligible to compete for such task orders.
       By one year after enactment of this act, the managers look 
     forward to a report on the effect of this change in promoting 
     small business competition and participation in the contract, 
     USAID's views as to whether such an approach should be 
     extended to other multiple award indefinite quantity 
     contracts, and an identification of annual benchmarks by 
     which USAID will look to evaluate itself for advancing the 
     ability of small businesses to participate and effectively 
     compete in the procurement process.
       USAID is strongly encouraged to take such other steps that 
     would improve the participation of small businesses, as 
     either prime or subcontractors, in future indefinite quantity 
     contracts and to report to the Committees on Appropriations 
     any legal or regulatory impediments to achieving this 
     objective.
     Sec. 539. Ceilings and Earmarks
       The conference agreement includes Senate language that 
     restores prior year language regarding earmarks and minimum 
     funding levels. The House bill did not address this matter.
     Sec. 545. Withholding of Assistance for Parking Fines Owed by 
         Foreign Countries
       The conference agreement allows 110 percent of the total 
     amount of unpaid fully adjudicated parking fines and 
     penalties owed by foreign countries to New York City, New 
     York, to be withheld from obligation for assistance to such 
     country, as proposed by the Senate. The managers have 
     modified similar prior year language relating to parking 
     fines and penalties owed by foreign governments to the 
     District of Columbia.
     Sec. 547. War Crimes Tribunals Drawdown
       The conference agreement includes House language 
     authorizing up to $30,000,000 in drawdowns of commodities or 
     services for war crimes tribunals instead of $35,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. It includes Senate language that 
     authorizes such drawdowns for tribunals authorized or 
     established by the United Nations Security Council. The 
     conference agreement deletes House language that specifies 
     that any drawdown made under this section shall not be 
     construed as an endorsement or precedent for the 
     establishment of any standing or permanent international 
     criminal tribunal or court. The managers note that section 
     705 of H.R. 3427, as enacted into law as part of H.R. 3194 
     (Public Law 106-113) prohibits the obligation of any funds 
     for use by, or for support of, the International Criminal 
     Court.
     Sec. 548. Landmines
       The conference agreement contains Senate language, not 
     addressed in the House bill, that amends Public Law 102-484 
     to extend the ban on the export of landmines until October 
     23, 2008.
     Sec. 553. Restrictions on Voluntary Contributions to United 
         Nations Agencies
       The conference agreement is the same as current law, as 
     proposed by the House. The Senate did not address this 
     matter.
     Sec. 557. Discrimination Against Minority Religious Faiths in 
         the Russian Federation
       The conference agreement retains prior year language as 
     proposed by the House bill. The Senate amendment proposed 
     technical modifications.
     Sec. 558. Assistance for the Middle East
       The conference agreement contains House language that 
     imposes a spending ceiling of $5,141,150,000 on specified 
     assistance for the Middle East. The Senate amendment did not 
     address this matter.
     Sec. 559. Energy Conservation and Clean Energy Programs
       The conference agreement requires the Executive Office of 
     the President to submit an updated and revised annual 
     government-wide report on federal activities and costs 
     relating to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. The 
     report is due not later than 30 days following the date the 
     President's budget is submitted to Congress, instead of on 
     the same day that the budget is submitted as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       The managers have included a new provision, similar to the 
     Senate proposal, that not less than $155,000,000 should be 
     made available to support policies and actions in certain 
     countries that promote energy conservation and efficient 
     energy production and use; that measure, monitor, and reduce 
     greenhouse gas emissions; increase carbon sequestration 
     activities; and enhance climate change mitigation programs. 
     The House bill did not address this matter.
     Sec. 560. Zimbabwe
       The conference agreement includes the provision as included 
     in the Senate amendment to direct the Secretary of the 
     Treasury to instruct the United States executive directors to 
     the international financial institutions to vote against 
     loans to the Government of Zimbabwe, except humanitarian 
     assistance and the promotion of democracy. The House did not 
     address this matter.
     Sec. 561. Central America Relief and Reconstruction
       The conference agreement extends current law by providing 
     authority to allow funds appropriated in Public Law 106-31 to 
     be used by the Comptroller General to monitor earthquake 
     relief and reconstruction activities in El Salvador. The 
     House did not address this matter.
     Sec. 563. Cambodia
       The conference agreement prohibits assistance to the 
     central Government of Cambodia, unless the Secretary of State 
     certifies to Congress that certain conditions have been met. 
     The conditions governing the restoration of assistance are 
     similar to those contained in the Senate amendment. However, 
     exceptions to the ban on assistance are provided for basic 
     education as proposed by the House and activities conducted 
     by the Ministry of Women and Veteran's Affairs to combat 
     human trafficking as proposed by the Senate. The conference 
     agreement contains House language on the provision of 
     assistance through international financial institutions.
       The managers remain concerned with Cambodia's political, 
     legal, and economic development, and the lack of independence 
     of its judiciary. The managers strongly condemn acts of 
     intimidation and violence against the democratic opposition 
     in the run up to commune council elections next year, and 
     note with concern human rights violations that are committed 
     by government, police, and military officials with impunity. 
     The conference agreement also contains the provisions of 
     section 591 of the Senate amendment that conditions 
     assistance to any Khmer Rouge tribunal established by the 
     Government of Cambodia on a determination and certification 
     to Congress that the tribunal is capable of delivering 
     justice for crimes against humanity in an impartial and 
     credible manner.
     Section 566. PLO Compliance Report
       The conference agreement contains language that states that 
     the President should undertake certain assessments regarding 
     actions of the Palestinian Liberation Organization or the 
     Palestinian Authority, and should impose certain sanctions 
     based on those assessments. The House bill would have 
     mandated such assessments and certain sanctions. The Senate 
     amendment did not address this matter.
     Section 567. Colombia
       The conference agreement includes a modified version of the 
     Senate provision on Colombia. The House did not address this 
     matter. The managers are concerned with the alarming number 
     of human rights violations and massacres of civilians in 
     Colombia by paramilitary forces, kidnapping and other abuses 
     by guerrilla forces, as well as persistent reports of aiding 
     and abetting of paramilitaries by some units of the Colombian 
     Armed Forces. The conference agreement includes language that 
     provides for the obligation of 60 percent of funds 
     appropriated for the Colombian Armed Forces if certain 
     conditions relating to human rights are met, and for the 
     obligation of the balance of funds after June 1, 2002 if such 
     are conditions are met.
       The conditions on assistance to the Colombian Armed Forces 
     require suspending individuals, of whatever rank, who have 
     been credibly alleged to have committed gross

[[Page H10398]]

     violations of human rights or to have aided or abetted 
     paramilitary groups. By ``suspending'' the managers refer to 
     removal from active duty and assignment to administrative 
     duties only without combat responsibilities or command of 
     troops in the field, pending investigation and prosecution, 
     when civilian prosecutors determine there is credible 
     evidence to support such allegations.
       The conditions on assistance to the Colombian Armed Forces 
     also require their cooperation with civilian prosecutors and 
     judicial authorities, in prosecuting and punishing in 
     civilian courts members of the Armed Forces who have been 
     credibly alleged to have committed gross violations of human 
     rights or aided or abetted paramilitary groups, including 
     members who have been suspended for allegedly committing such 
     crimes.
     Section 568. Illegal Armed Groups
       The conference agreement includes the provision in the 
     Senate amendment prohibiting the Secretary of State from 
     issuing visas to individuals with ties to illegal armed 
     groups in Colombia. The House did not address this matter.
     Sec. 570. Iraq
       The conference agreement includes language similar to that 
     in the Senate amendment, which provides that funds from the 
     Economic Support Fund may be made available for programs 
     benefiting the Iraqi people and to support efforts to bring 
     about political transition in Iraq. The conference agreement 
     also includes language that establishes a ceiling of 15 
     percent on administrative and representational expenses, 
     except for costs related to broadcasting activities. It also 
     includes language that directs the Administration to consult 
     with the Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of 
     enactment regarding its plans for the use of these funds.
       The managers are troubled by the recent audit conducted by 
     the State Department Inspector General on the use of prior 
     year funds appropriated for this program. The managers also 
     note that this section does not impose restrictions on which 
     groups may receive these funds or on the use of funds for 
     activities inside Iraq. As part of the consultation process 
     regarding the use of these funds, the managers expect the 
     Department to identify options for the transfer of funding 
     for this program to a more appropriate source.
     Sec. 572. Indonesia
       The conference agreement provision regarding military 
     assistance to Indonesia is similar to current law, except 
     that it allows for civilian officials to participate in 
     Expanded IMET activities. The House bill and the Senate 
     amendment both included 4 prior year provisions under which a 
     Presidential report and determination could result in a 
     resumption of military assistance to Indonesia that is funded 
     in this bill. The revised language includes new subsections 
     relating to civilian control of the armed forces and the 
     release of political detainees and it expands the 
     geographical scope of the retained subsections beyond Timor 
     island to other parts of Indonesia.
       While the conference agreement does not include a specific 
     reference to the murders of American citizen Carlos Caceres 
     and two other United Nations humanitarian workers in West 
     Timor on September 6, 2000, the managers insist that any 
     determination that effective measures are being taken to 
     investigate and bring to justice militia groups involved in 
     human rights violations would accord special consideration to 
     the just punishment for the killers of the United Nations 
     humanitarian workers in West Timor.
     Sec. 573. Briefings on Potential Purchases of Defense 
         Articles or Defense Services by Taiwan
       The conference agreement includes language similar to the 
     House bill, which requires the State Department, in 
     consultation with the Department of Defense, to provide 
     briefings to the appropriate congressional committees 
     (including the Committees on Appropriations) on any 
     discussions conducted between the Administration and the 
     Government of Taiwan concerning the potential purchase of 
     defense articles or defense services by the Government of 
     Taiwan. The briefings are to occur 90 days after enactment 
     and every 120 days thereafter, during fiscal year 2002.
     Sec. 574. Restrictions on Assistance to Governments 
         Destabilizing Sierra Leone
       The conference agreement prohibits assistance to any 
     government for which the Secretary of State has credible 
     evidence that such government has, within the previous six 
     months, provided military support for, facilitated safe 
     passage of weapons or other equipment to, or which has 
     assisted illicit diamond trading which benefits the 
     Revolutionary United Front in Sierra Leone, Liberian security 
     forces, or any other group intent on destabilizing Sierra 
     Leone. This section is similar to the Senate amendment. The 
     House provision was identical to current law.
     Sec. 576. United Nations Population Fund
       The conference agreement provides that not more than 
     $34,000,000 from the ``International Organizations and 
     Programs'' account shall be made available for the United 
     Nations Fund for Population Activities, including UNFPA 
     programs to combat HIV/AIDS, instead of not less than 
     $40,000,000 as proposed by the Senate and not more than 
     $25,000,000 as proposed by the House. The United States 
     contribution to the UNFPA is subject to a number of 
     conditions regarding UNFPA activities, including a provision 
     relating to UNFPA activities in the People's Republic of 
     China as proposed by the House.
       The conference agreement provides that not more than 
     $34,000,000 shall be made available for a United States 
     contribution to the United Nations Fund for Population 
     Activities (UNFPA). The managers recognize and support the 
     family planning/reproductive health activities, and HIV/AIDS 
     activities, conducted by UNFPA, and understand that a portion 
     of the United States contribution to UNFPA will be used for 
     HIV/AIDS activities. None of the United States contribution 
     to UNFPA may be made available for activities in the People's 
     Republic of China. The Senate amendment addressed this matter 
     under the heading ``International Organizations and 
     Programs'' in title IV.
     Sec. 577. American Churchwomen and Other Citizens in El 
         Salvador and Guatemala
       The conference agreement contains language similar to that 
     in the Senate amendment that provides that information on 
     certain murders in El Salvador and Guatemala is being 
     released to the victims' families. The House bill only 
     addressed certain murders in El Salvador.
     Sec. 578. Procurement and Financial Management Reform
       The conference agreement includes language similar to a 
     House provision withholding 10 percent of the funds made 
     available for international financial institutions until the 
     Secretary of the Treasury certifies that a number of 
     procurement and financial management reforms are being 
     implemented. The Senate did not address this matter. The 
     modified provision deletes a reporting requirement.
     Sec. 579. Basic Education Assistance for Indonesia and 
         Pakistan
       The conference agreement includes language that provides 
     not less than $8,000,000 from Development Assistance for 
     basic education activities in Indonesia and Pakistan. The 
     managers expect that $3,000,000 will be provided for 
     Indonesia and $5,000,000 for Pakistan. House and Senate 
     language did not refer to Indonesia.
       The managers have also included language providing that 
     $2,500,000 from the Economic Support fund shall be 
     transferred to Operating Expenses of the United States Agency 
     for International Development for the purpose of monitoring 
     and implementing United States economic and development 
     assistance for Pakistan, including the $500,000,000 that was 
     provided in economic assistance under the provisions of P.L. 
     107-38, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for 
     Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United 
     States, FY 2001 and the funds made available under this 
     general provision for Pakistan. The funds would be derived 
     from the amount for Pakistan in the fiscal year 2002 budget 
     request for the Economic Support Fund.
       The managers request the Administrator of USAID, after 
     consultation with the Secretary of State, to report to the 
     relevant committees not later than 60 days after enactment of 
     the Act on the Agency's proposals for implementing basic 
     education activities in Indonesia and expanding ongoing 
     education assistance for Pakistan. The report should include 
     USAID's plans to use its operating expenses to provide in-
     country monitoring of agreements between the United States 
     and Pakistan to provide cash grants in support of Pakistan's 
     education and other social sectors, utilizing funds made 
     available under the provisions of Public Law 107-38.
     Sec. 581. War Criminals
       The conference agreement contains language similar to that 
     in both the House bill and Senate amendment regarding war 
     criminals in the Balkans.
     Sec. 582. User Fees
       The conference agreement extends current law by requiring 
     the Secretary of the Treasury to instruct the United States 
     executive directors of the international financial 
     institutions (IFIs) to oppose loans that would impose user 
     fees on poor people for primary education and healthcare. 
     While the managers did not include Senate language adding 
     structural adjustment schemes, debt relief, and Poverty 
     Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) to the prohibition, the 
     managers do not intend this exclusion to be interpreted as an 
     endorsement for user fees on the poor in such actions. It is 
     the managers' understanding that the Treasury Department 
     opposes user fees on the poor and that this is now Treasury's 
     policy with regard to all IFI actions. The managers support 
     this policy and expect it to continue and to be applied in 
     Treasury's careful review process for PRSPs, which are 
     subject to IFI review but not a vote. The managers direct the 
     Secretary of the Treasury to examine the use of user fees by 
     the World Bank, their impact on the poor, and whether such 
     user fees exemption schemes for the poor are successful. The 
     managers direct the Secretary to report back these findings 
     to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations before 
     April 15, 2002.
     Sec. 584. Funding for Serbia
       The conference agreement authorizes funding for Serbia as 
     proposed by the House but does not include a maximum funding 
     level as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement 
     includes language similar to the

[[Page H10399]]

     House bill that conditions assistance for Serbia that may be 
     made available after March 31, 2002, on continued cooperation 
     with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former 
     Yugoslavia, the termination of financial and other support to 
     Republika Srpska institutions, and respect for the rule of 
     law including the release of political prisoners. The 
     provision regarding the release of political prisoners was 
     included in the Senate amendment but not in the House 
     bill.
       The managers recognize the efforts of Serbian democrats and 
     reformers to implement much needed reforms necessitated by 
     years of corruption and political violence, and expect that 
     up to $115,000,000 will be provided for assistance for 
     Serbia, in addition to regional funds that may become 
     available, as appropriate. The managers have also provided 
     authority for debt forgiveness for the Federal Republic of 
     Yugoslavia in title II of this Act.
     Sec. 585. El Salvador Reconstruction and Central America 
         Disaster Relief
       The conference agreement includes a modified version of the 
     House and Senate provisions making $100,000,000 available for 
     reconstruction assistance for El Salvador and $35,000,000 in 
     USAID-managed assistance for drought victims elsewhere in 
     Central America.
     Sec. 586. Reports on Conditions in Hong Kong
       The conference agreement contains Senate language that 
     amends section 301 of the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act 
     to allow for annual reports on conditions in Hong Kong until 
     March 31, 2006. The House bill did not address this matter.
     Sec. 587. Community-Based Police Assistance
       The conference agreement includes language similar to the 
     Senate language authorizing use of certain USAID-administered 
     funds in title II of this Act for support for civilian police 
     in Jamaica, notwithstanding section 660 of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act. The House did not address this matter. The 
     conference agreement includes a ceiling on funds for this 
     purpose at a level of $1,500,000.
     Sec. 588. Authorizations
       The conference report includes the authorization for the 
     International Fund for Agricultural Development, but not the 
     Asian Development Fund. The Senate amendment included 
     authorizations for both organizations. The House did not 
     address this matter. The managers have also included an 
     extension of the Export-Import Bank's charter until March 31, 
     2002.
     Sec. 589. Excess Defense Articles for Central and Southern 
         European Countries and Certain Other Countries
       The conference agreement contains Senate language not in 
     the House bill that authorizes the provision of excess 
     defense articles for central and southern European countries 
     and certain other countries. The House bill did not address 
     this matter.
     Sec. 591. Modification to the Annual Drug Certification 
         Procedures
       The conference agreement waives the annual drug 
     certification process for one year on a global basis. The 
     Senate amendment provided a waiver for the Western Hemisphere 
     only. The House did not address this matter.
     Sec. 592. Kenneth M. Ludden
       The conference agreement includes language similar to that 
     proposed by the Senate regarding a short title for the Act.

                PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED BY THE CONFEREES:

       The conference agreement does not include section 567 of 
     the House bill regarding ``Man and the Biosphere''. The 
     Senate amendment did not address this matter.
       The conference report does not include section 578 of the 
     Senate amendment regarding ``Funding for Private 
     Organizations''. The Senate amendment did not address this 
     matter.
       The conference report does not include section 580 of the 
     House bill regarding ``Improving Global Health Through Safe 
     Injections''. The Senate amendment did not address this 
     matter. The managers concur with the language on safe 
     injections under the heading ``Child Survival and Health 
     Programs'' contained in Senate Report 107-58.
       The conference report does not include section 580 of the 
     Senate amendment regarding Cuba. The House did not address 
     this matter. The managers are concerned about U.S. 
     counternarcotics policy with respect to Cuba and the lack of 
     authoritative information from the Government of Cuba with 
     regard to drug trafficking through Cuba. The managers realize 
     that Cuba's unique geography presents an appealing 
     environment to air and maritime smugglers and recognize the 
     national security threat posed by illicit drug production, 
     distribution, and consumption, and crimes related thereto, 
     particularly those in the Western Hemisphere. The managers 
     are aware that there are reports of Cuba's willingness to 
     cooperate with the U.S. in aiding U.S. interdiction of 
     illicit drug distribution, as well as other reports that Cuba 
     facilitates drug smuggling. Therefore the managers expect 
     that not later than 6 months after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, the Secretary of State shall report to the 
     Congress regarding the following: (1) the extent, if any, of 
     the direct involvement of the Government of Cuba in illegal 
     drug trafficking; (2) the likelihood that U.S. international 
     narcotics assistance to the Government of Cuba would decrease 
     the flow of drugs transiting through Cuba, and (3) the degree 
     to which the Government of Cuba is exchanging with U.S. 
     agencies drug-related law enforcement information. 
     Additionally, the managers encourage the Administration, not 
     later than 9 months after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, to transmit to Congress any legislation necessary to 
     decrease the flow of drugs to or from Cuba.
       The conference agreement does not include section 582 of 
     the House bill prohibiting the use of funds in this Act for a 
     contribution to the UN International Narcotics Control Board. 
     Funds for such this purpose are not within the jurisdiction 
     of this Act. The Senate did not address this matter.
       The conference agreement does not include section 582 of 
     the Senate amendment requiring that housing constructed with 
     development assistance funds in this Act be wheelchair 
     accessible. The House bill did not address this matter. 
     However, the managers expect USAID to ensure that doors in 
     houses or other facilities constructed with funds 
     administered by USAID are of a sufficient width to 
     accommodate wheelchairs.
       The conference agreement does not include section 583 of 
     the House bill regarding the ``Buy America Act''. The Senate 
     amendment did not address this matter.
       The conference agreement does not include section 584 of 
     the House bill regarding the ``Funding for Trafficking 
     Victims Protection Act of 2000''. The Senate amendment did 
     not address this matter. However, the managers concur that 
     trafficking in persons is a matter of urgency, and address 
     related funding issues in report language under the heading 
     ``Development Assistance'', and in bill and report language 
     under the headings ``Assistance for the Independent States of 
     the Former Soviet Union'' and ``International Narcotics 
     Control and Law Enforcement''.
       The conference agreement does not contain section 584 of 
     the Senate amendment regarding democracy and human rights 
     programs. This matter is addressed under section 526 of the 
     conference report.
       The conference agreement does not include section 585 of 
     the Senate amendment regarding a report on the use of defense 
     articles, defense services, and financial assistance to 
     Uzbekistan. The House bill did not address this matter. The 
     managers recognize and appreciate that Uzbekistan is 
     providing logistical support and facilities for United States 
     military and humanitarian operations in Afghanistan. However, 
     the managers are aware of reports by the Department of State 
     of serious human rights violations by members of Uzbek 
     security forces. Therefore, the managers direct the Secretary 
     of State to submit two reports to the appropriate 
     congressional committees not later than four months after the 
     date of enactment and ten months thereafter, describing in 
     detail (1) the defense articles, defense services, and 
     financial assistance provided by the United States to 
     Uzbekistan during the six-month period ending 30 days prior 
     to the submission of such report; and (2) the use during such 
     period of defense articles, defense services, and financial 
     assistance provided by the United States by units of the 
     Uzbek Ministry of National Security or Ministry of Internal 
     Affairs.
       The conference agreement does not include section 586 of 
     the Senate amendment expressing the Sense of the Senate on 
     humanitarian assistance for Afghanistan. The House bill did 
     not address this matter. The managers are concerned with the 
     plight of Afghan refugees, and the status of women within 
     Afghanistan who are emerging from years of repression under 
     the Taliban. The managers support substantial United States 
     contributions of humanitarian assistance for the people of 
     Afghanistan, particularly through overland truck convoys, and 
     efforts to ensure that Afghan women are included in planning 
     the future reconstruction of Afghanistan and equal 
     opportunities for women throughout Afghan society.
       The conference agreement does not include section 589 of 
     the Senate amendment expressing the Sense of the Senate 
     regarding the role of women in the reconstruction of 
     Afghanistan. The House bill did not address this matter. The 
     managers address this matter under the heading ``Development 
     Assistance''.
       The conference agreement does not include section 591 of 
     the Senate amendment regarding restrictions on funding for 
     the Cambodian Genocide Tribunal. The substance of Senate 
     section 591 is contained in section 563 of the conference 
     report.
       The conference agreement does not include section 593 of 
     the Senate amendment regarding an increased Peace Corps 
     presence in Muslim countries. The House bill did not address 
     this matter. While the managers support the concept of the 
     Senate language, a key concern of the managers is the safety 
     of Peace Corps volunteers around the world. The managers 
     direct the Director of the Peace Corps to undertake a study 
     to determine the feasibility of an increase in volunteers in 
     predominantly Muslim countries and to submit a report to the 
     appropriate congressional committees not later than 6 months 
     after the date of enactment. The study should make the 
     determinations required by the Senate language but also 
     should include a detailed description of measures the agency 
     plans to implement in fiscal year 2002 to increase 
     volunteers' safety.
       The conference agreement does not include section 594 of 
     the Senate amendment regarding machine readable passports. 
     The House bill did not address this matter. The managers note 
     that this matter has been addressed in Public Law 107-56.

     Senate bill regarding a conditional waiver of section 907 of

     this matter.

     Senate amendment regarding the Federal Investigation
