             ORPHANS, AND DISPLACED AND ABANDONED CHILDREN

       Sec. 6113. (a) Congress--
       (1) reaffirms its commitment to the founding principle of 
     the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-
     Operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption, that a child, 
     for the full and harmonious development of the child's 
     personality, should grow up in a family environment, in an 
     atmosphere of happiness, love, and understanding;
       (2) recognizes that each State should take, as a matter of 
     priority, every appropriate measure to enable a child to 
     remain in the care of the child's family of origin, but when 
     not possible should strive to place the child in a permanent 
     and loving home through adoption;
       (3) affirms that intercountry adoption may offer the 
     advantage of a permanent family to a child for whom a family 
     cannot be found in the child's State of origin;
       (4) affirms that long-term foster care or 
     institutionalization are not permanent options and should 
     therefore only be used when no other permanent options are 
     available; and
       (5) recognizes that programs that protect and support 
     families can reduce the abandonment and exploitation of 
     children.
       (b) The funds appropriated under title III of this Act 
     shall be made available in a manner consistent with the 
     principles described in subsection (a).

            ABUSIVE CHILD LABOR PRACTICES IN COCOA INDUSTRY

       Sec. 6113. (a) Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The plight of hundreds of thousands of child slaves 
     toiling in cocoa plantations in West Africa was reported in a 
     series by Knight Ridder newspapers in June 2001. (global)
       (2) The report found that some of these children are sold 
     or tricked into slavery. Most of them are between the ages of 
     12 and 16 and some are as young as 9 years old.
       (3) There are 1,500,000 farms in West Africa that produce 
     approximately 72 percent of the total global supply of cocoa, 
     with Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana producing about 62 percent and 
     22 percent, respectively, of the total cocoa production in 
     Africa. Other key producers are Indonesia, Nigeria, Cameroon, 
     and Brazil.
       (4) United States consumers purchase over $13,000,000,000 
     in chocolate products annually.
       (5) On September 19, 2001, representatives of the chocolate 
     industry signed a voluntary Protocol for the Growing and 
     Processing of Cocoa Beans and their Derivative Products in a 
     Manner that Complies with ILO Convention 182 Concerning the 
     Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the 
     Worst Forms of Child Labor.
       (6) The Protocol outlines 6 steps the industry formally 
     agreed to undertake to end abusive and forced child labor on 
     cocoa farms by July 2005.
       (7) A vital step of the Protocol was the development and 
     implementation by the industry of a credible, transparent, 
     and publicly accountable industry-wide certification system 
     to ensure, by July 1, 2005, that cocoa beans and their 
     derivative products have not been grown or processed by 
     abusive child labor or slave labor.
       (8) Since the Protocol was signed, some positive steps have 
     been taken to address the worst forms of child labor and 
     slave labor in cocoa growing, but the July 1, 2005, deadline 
     for creation and implementation of the certification system 
     was not fully met.

[[Page S8430]]

       (b) It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the cocoa industry is to be commended, as the Protocol 
     agreement is the first time that an industry has accepted 
     moral, social, and financial responsibility for the 
     production of raw materials, wherever they are produced;
       (2) the Government of the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire and the 
     Government of the Republic of Ghana should be commended for 
     the tangible steps they have taken to address the situation 
     of child labor in the cocoa sector;
       (3) even though the cocoa industry did not fully meet the 
     July 1, 2005, deadline for creation and implementation of the 
     labor certification system, it has agreed to redouble its 
     efforts to achieve a certification system that will cover 50 
     percent of the cocoa growing regions of Cote d'Ivoire and 
     Ghana by July 1, 2008;
       (4) the cocoa industry should make every effort to meet 
     this deadline in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana and expand the 
     certification process to other West African nations and any 
     other country where abusive child labor and slave labor are 
     used in the growing and processing of cocoa;
       (5) an independent oversight body should be designated and 
     supported to work with the chocolate industry, national 
     governments, and nongovernmental organizations on the 
     progress of the development and implementation of the 
     certification system by July 1, 2008, through a series of 
     public reports;
       (6) the governments of West African nations that grow and 
     manufacture cocoa should consider child labor and forced 
     labor issues of top priorities;
       (7) the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons 
     of the Department of State should include information on the 
     association between trafficking in persons and the cocoa 
     industries of Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, and other cocoa producing 
     regions in the annual report on trafficking in persons that 
     is submitted to Congress; and
       (8) the Department of State should assist the Government of 
     Cote d'Ivoire and the Government of Ghana in preventing the 
     trafficking of persons into the cocoa fields and other 
     industries in West Africa.

       On page 326, between lines 10 and 11, insert the following:


    THE UNITED STATES-CHINA ECONOMIC AND SECURITY REVIEW COMMISSION.

       Sec. 6113. (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The 2004 Report to Congress of the United States-China 
     Economic and Security Review Commission states that--
       (A) China's State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) lack adequate 
     disclosure standards, which creates the potential for United 
     States investors to unwittingly contribute to enterprises 
     that are involved in activities harmful to United States 
     security interests;
       (B) United States influence and vital long-term interests 
     in Asia are being challenged by China's robust regional 
     economic engagement and diplomacy;
       (C) the assistance of China and North Korea to global 
     ballistic missile proliferation is extensive and ongoing;
       (D) China's transfers of technology and components for 
     weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems 
     to countries of concern, including countries that support 
     acts of international terrorism, has helped create a new tier 
     of countries with the capability to produce WMD and ballistic 
     missiles;
       (E) the removal of the European Union arms embargo against 
     China that is currently under consideration in the European 
     Union would accelerate weapons modernization and dramatically 
     enhance Chinese military capabilities;
       (F) China's recent actions toward Taiwan call into question 
     China's commitments to a peaceful resolution;
       (G) China is developing a leading-edge military with the 
     objective of intimidating Taiwan and deterring United States 
     involvement in the Strait, and China's qualitative and 
     quantitative military advancements have already resulted in a 
     dramatic shift in the cross-Strait military balance toward 
     China; and
       (H) China's growing energy needs are driving China into 
     bilateral arrangements that undermine multilateral efforts to 
     stabilize oil supplies and prices, and in some cases may 
     involve dangerous weapons transfers.
       (2) On March 14, 2005, the National People's Congress 
     approved a law that would authorize the use of force if 
     Taiwan formally declares independence.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--
       (1) Plan.--The President is strongly urged to take 
     immediate steps to establish a plan to implement the 
     recommendations contained in the 2004 Report to Congress of 
     the United States-China Economic and Security Review 
     Commission in order to correct the negative implications that 
     a number of current trends in United States-China relations 
     have for United States long-term economic and national 
     security interests.
       (2) Contents.--Such a plan should contain the following:
       (A) Actions to address China's policy of undervaluing its 
     currency, including--
       (i) encouraging China to provide for a substantial upward 
     revaluation of the Chinese yuan against the United States 
     dollar;
       (ii) allowing the yuan to float against a trade-weighted 
     basket of currencies; and
       (iii) concurrently encouraging United States trading 
     partners with similar interests to join in these efforts.
       (B) Actions to make better use of the World Trade 
     Organization (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism and 
     applicable United States trade laws to redress China's unfair 
     trade practices, including China's exchange rate 
     manipulation, denial of trading and distribution rights, lack 
     of intellectual property rights protection, objectionable 
     labor standards, subsidization of exports, and forced 
     technology transfers as a condition of doing business. The 
     United States Trade Representative should consult with our 
     trading partners regarding any trade dispute with China.
       (C) Actions to encourage United States diplomatic efforts 
     to identify and pursue initiatives to revitalize United 
     States engagement with China's Asian neighbors. The 
     initiatives should have a regional focus and complement 
     bilateral efforts. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation 
     forum (APEC) offers a ready mechanism for pursuit of such 
     initiatives.
       (D) Actions by the administration to hold China accountable 
     for proliferation of prohibited technologies and to secure 
     China's agreement to renew efforts to curtail North Korea's 
     commercial export of ballistic missiles.
       (E) Actions to encourage the creation of a new United 
     Nations framework for monitoring the proliferation of WMD and 
     their delivery systems in conformance with member nations' 
     obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the 
     Biological Weapons Convention, and the Chemical Weapons 
     Convention. The new monitoring body should be delegated 
     authority to apply sanctions to countries violating these 
     treaties in a timely manner, or, alternatively, should be 
     required to report all violations in a timely manner to the 
     Security Council for discussion and sanctions.
       (F) Actions by the administration to conduct a fresh 
     assessment of the ``One China'' policy, given the changing 
     realities in China and Taiwan. This should include a review 
     of--
       (i) the policy's successes, failures, and continued 
     viability;
       (ii) whether changes may be needed in the way the United 
     States Government coordinates its defense assistance to 
     Taiwan, including the need for an enhanced operating 
     relationship between United States and Taiwan defense 
     officials and the establishment of a United States-Taiwan 
     hotline for dealing with crisis situations;
       (iii) how United States policy can better support Taiwan's 
     breaking out of the international economic isolation that 
     China seeks to impose on it and whether this issue

[[Page S8431]]

     should be higher on the agenda in United States-China 
     relations; and
       (iv) economic and trade policy measures that could help 
     ameliorate Taiwan's marginalization in the Asian regional 
     economy, including policy measures such as enhanced United 
     States-Taiwan bilateral trade arrangements that would include 
     protections for labor rights, the environment, and other 
     important United States interests.
       (G) Actions by the Secretaries of State and Energy to 
     consult with the International Energy Agency with the 
     objective of upgrading the current loose experience-sharing 
     arrangement, whereby China engages in some limited exchanges 
     with the organization, to a more structured arrangement 
     whereby China would be obligated to develop a meaningful 
     strategic oil reserve, and coordinate release of stocks in 
     supply-disruption crises or speculator-driven price spikes.
       (H) Actions by the administration to develop and publish a 
     coordinated, comprehensive national policy and strategy 
     designed to meet China's challenge to maintaining United 
     States scientific and technological leadership and 
     competitiveness in the same way the administration is 
     presently required to develop and publish a national security 
     strategy.
       (I) Actions to revise the law governing the Committee on 
     Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), including 
     expanding the definition of national security to include the 
     potential impact on national economic security as a criterion 
     to be reviewed, and transferring the chairmanship of CFIUS 
     from the Secretary of the Treasury to a more appropriate 
     executive branch agency.
       (J) Actions by the President and the Secretaries of State 
     and Defense to press strongly their European Union 
     counterparts to maintain the EU arms embargo on China.
       (K) Actions by the administration to restrict foreign 
     defense contractors, who sell sensitive military use 
     technology or weapons systems to China, from participating in 
     United States defense-related cooperative research, 
     development, and production programs. Actions by the 
     administration may be targeted to cover only those technology 
     areas involved in the transfer of military use technology or 
     weapons systems to China. The administration should provide a 
     comprehensive annual report to the appropriate committees of 
     Congress on the nature and scope of foreign military sales to 
     China, particularly sales by Russia and Israel.
       (L) Any additional actions outlined in the 2004 Report to 
     Congress of the United States-China Economic and Security 
     Review Commission that affect the economic or national 
     security of the United States.

       (1) reaffirms its commitment to the founding principle of 
     the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-
     Operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption, that a child, 
     for the full and harmonious development of the child's 
     personality, should grow up in a family environment, in an 
     atmosphere of happiness, love, and understanding;
       (2) recognizes that each State should take, as a matter of 
     priority, every appropriate measure to enable a child to 
     remain in the care of the child's family of origin, but when 
     not possible should strive to place the child in a permanent 
     and loving home through adoption;
       (3) affirms that intercountry adoption may offer the 
     advantage of a permanent family to a child for whom a family 
     cannot be found in the child's State of origin;
       (4) affirms that long-term foster care or 
     institutionalization are not permanent options and should 
     therefore only be used when no other permanent options are 
     available; and
       (5) recognizes that programs that protect and support 
     families can reduce the abandonment and exploitation of 
     children.

                   INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED BY A HUMANITARIAN

       (a) Not less than $10,000,000 of the amount made available 
     in title III under the heading ``Migration and Refugee 
     Assistance'' and $5,000,000 of the amount made available in 
     title III under the heading ``International Disaster and

     civilians, especially women and children, who are affected by 
     a humanitarian emergency, including programs to build the 
     capacity of nongovernmental organizations to address the

     the provision of training humanitarian protection monitors 
     for refugees and internally displaced persons; and

     refugees and internally displaced persons in camps or in 
     communities for the purpose of improving the design and 
     security of camps for refugees and internally displaced 
     persons, with special emphasis on the security of women and 
     children.
       (b) None of the funds made available for foreign 
     operations, export financing, and related programs under the 
     headings ``Migration and Refugee Assistance'', ``United 
     States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund'',

     organization that fails to adopt a code of conduct that 
     provides for the protection of beneficiaries of assistance 
     under any such heading from sexual exploitation and abuse in 
     humanitarian relief operations.
       (c) The code of conduct referred to in subsection (b) 
     shall, to the maximum extent practicable, be consistent with 
     the following six core principles of the Inter-Agency 
     Standing Committee Task Force on Protection From Sexual 
     Exploitation and Abuse in Humanitarian Crises, as follows:
       (1) Sexual exploitation and abuse by humanitarian workers 
     constitute acts of gross misconduct and are therefore grounds 
     for termination of employment.
       (2) Sexual activity with children (persons under the age of 
     18) is prohibited regardless of the age of majority or age of 
     consent locally. Mistaken belief regarding the age of a child 
     is not a defense.
       (3) Exchange of money, employment, goods, or services for 
     sex, including sexual favors or other forms of humiliating, 
     degrading or exploitative behavior, is prohibited. This 
     includes exchange of assistance that is due to beneficiaries.
       (4) Sexual relationships between humanitarian workers and 
     beneficiaries are strongly discouraged since they are based 
     on inherently unequal power dynamics. Such relationships 
     undermine the credibility and integrity of humanitarian aid 
     work.
       (5) Where a humanitarian worker develops concerns or 
     suspicions regarding sexual abuse or exploitation by a fellow 
     worker, whether in the same agency or not, the worker must 
     report such concerns via established agency reporting 
     mechanisms.
       (6) Humanitarian agencies are obliged to create and 
     maintain an environment which prevents sexual exploitation 
     and abuse and promotes the implementation of their code of 
     conduct. Managers at all levels have particular 
     responsibilities to support and develop systems which 
     maintain this environment.

     SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Oil and natural gas resources are strategic assets 
     critical to national security and the Nation's economic 
     prosperity.
       (2) The National Security Strategy of the United States 
     approved by President George W. Bush on September 17, 2002, 
     concludes that the People's Republic of China remains 
     strongly committed to national one-party rule by the 
     Communist Party.
       (3) On June 23, 2005, the China National Offshore Oil 
     Corporation Limited (CNOOC), announced its intent to acquire 
     Unocal Corporation, in the face of a competing bid for Unocal 
     Corporation from Chevron Corporation.
       (4) The People's Republic of China owns approximately 70 
     percent of CNOOC.
       (5) A significant portion of the CNOOC acquisition is to be 
     financed and heavily subsidized by banks owned by the 
     People's Republic of China.
       (6) Unocal Corporation is based in the United States, and 
     has approximately 1,750,000,000 barrels of oil equivalent, 
     with its core operating areas in Southeast Asia, Alaska, 
     Canada, and the lower 48 States.
       (7) A CNOOC acquisition of Unocal Corporation would result 
     in the strategic assets of Unocal Corporation being 
     preferentially allocated to China by the Chinese Government.
       (8) A Chinese Government acquisition of Unocal Corporation 
     would weaken the ability of the United States to influence 
     the oil and gas supplies of the Nation through companies that 
     must adhere to United States laws.
       (9) As a de facto matter, the Chinese Government would not 
     allow the United States Government or United States investors 
     to acquire a controlling interest in a Chinese energy 
     company.

     SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON SALE OF UNOCAL TO CNOOC.

       Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the merger, 
     acquisition, or takeover of Unocal Corporation by CNOOC is 
     prohibited.
                                 ______

                    NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY

       Sec. 6113. (a) Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, 
     done at Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, and 
     entered into force March 5, 1970 (in this section referred to 
     as the ``Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty''), codifies one of 
     the most important international security arrangements in the 
     history of arms control, the arrangement by which states 
     without nuclear weapons pledge not to acquire them, states 
     with nuclear weapons commit to eventually eliminate them, and 
     nonnuclear states are allowed to use for peaceful purposes 
     nuclear technology under strict and verifiable control.
       (2) The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is one of the most 
     widely supported multilateral agreements, with 188 countries 
     adhering to the Treaty.
       (3) The Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty has encouraged 
     many countries to officially abandon nuclear weapons or 
     nuclear weapons programs, including Argentina, Belarus, 
     Brazil, Kazakhstan, Libya, South Africa, South Korea, 
     Ukraine, and Taiwan.
       (4) At the 1995 NPT Review and Extension Conference, the 
     states-parties agreed to extend the Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
     Treaty indefinitely, to reaffirm the principles and 
     objectives of the Treaty, to strengthen the Treaty review 
     process, and to implement further specific and practical 
     steps on non-proliferation and disarmament.
       (5) At the 2000 NPT Review Conference, the states-parties 
     agreed to further practical steps on non-proliferation and 
     disarmament.
       (6) President George W. Bush stated on March 7, 2005, that 
     ``the NPT represents a key legal barrier to nuclear weapons 
     proliferation and makes a critical contribution to 
     international security,'' and that ``the United States is 
     firmly committed to its obligations under the NPT''.
       (7) The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is 
     responsible for monitoring compliance with safeguard 
     agreements pursuant to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty 
     and reporting safeguard violations to the United Nations 
     Security Council.
       (8) Presidents George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin stated on 
     February 24, 2005, that ``[w]e bear a special responsibility 
     for the security of nuclear weapons and fissile material in 
     order to ensure that there is no possibility such weapons or 
     materials would fall into terrorist hands''.
       (9) Article IV of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty 
     calls for the fullest possible exchange of equipment and 
     materials for peaceful nuclear endeavors and allows states to 
     acquire sensitive technologies to produce nuclear fuel for 
     energy purposes but also recognizes that such fuel could be 
     used to secretly produce fissile material for nuclear weapons 
     programs or quickly produce such material if the state were 
     to decide to withdraw from the Treaty.
       (10) The Government of North Korea ejected international 
     inspectors from that country in 2002, announced its 
     withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2003, 
     has recently declared its possession of nuclear weapons, and 
     is in possession of facilities capable of producing 
     additional nuclear weapons-usable material.
       (11) The Government of Iran has pursued an undeclared 
     program to develop a uranium enrichment capacity, repeatedly 
     failed to

[[Page S8434]]

     fully comply with and provide full information to the IAEA 
     regarding its nuclear activities, and stated that it will not 
     permanently abandon its uranium enrichment program which it 
     has temporarily suspended through an agreement with the 
     European Union.
       (12) The network of arms traffickers associated with A.Q. 
     Khan has facilitated black-market nuclear transfers involving 
     several countries, including Iran, Libya, and North Korea, 
     and represents a new and dangerous form of proliferation.
       (13) Governments should cooperate to control exports of and 
     interdict illegal transfers of sensitive nuclear and missile-
     related technologies to prevent their proliferation.
       (14) The United Nations Secretary-General's High-Level 
     Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change concluded that 
     ``[a]lmost 60 States currently operate or are constructing 
     nuclear power or research reactors, and at least 40 possess 
     the industrial and scientific infrastructure which would 
     enable them, if they chose, to build nuclear weapons at 
     relatively short notice if the legal and normative 
     constraints of the Treaty regime no longer apply,'' and 
     warned that ``[w]e are approaching a point at which the 
     erosion of the non-proliferation regime could become 
     irreversible and result in a cascade of proliferation''.
       (15) Stronger international support and cooperation to 
     achieve universal compliance with tighter nuclear non-
     proliferation rules and standards constitute essential 
     elements of nuclear non-proliferation efforts.
       (16) Sustained leadership by the United States Government 
     is essential to help implement existing legal and political 
     commitments established by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
     Treaty and to realize a more robust and effective global 
     nuclear non-proliferation system.
       (17) The governments of the United States and other 
     countries should pursue a comprehensive and balanced approach 
     to strengthen the global nuclear non-proliferation system.
       (b) Congress--
       (1) reaffirms its support for the objectives of the Nuclear 
     Non-Proliferation Treaty and expresses its support for all 
     appropriate measures to strengthen the Treaty and to attain 
     its objectives; and
       (2) calls on all parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
     Treaty--
       (A) to insist on strict compliance with the non-
     proliferation obligations of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
     Treaty and to undertake effective enforcement measures 
     against states that are in violation of their Article I or 
     Article II obligations under the Treaty;
       (B) to agree to establish more effective controls on 
     sensitive technologies that can be used to produce materials 
     for nuclear weapons;
       (C) to expand the ability of the International Atomic 
     Energy Agency to inspect and monitor compliance with non-
     proliferation rules and standards to which all states should 
     adhere through existing authority and the additional 
     protocols signed by the states party to the Nuclear Non-
     Proliferation Treaty;
       (D) to demonstrate the international community's unified 
     opposition to a nuclear weapons program in Iran by--
       (i) supporting the efforts of the United States and the 
     European Union to prevent the Government of Iran from 
     acquiring a nuclear weapons capability; and
       (ii) using all appropriate diplomatic and other means at 
     their disposal to convince the Government of Iran to abandon 
     its uranium enrichment program;
       (E) to strongly support the ongoing United States 
     diplomatic efforts in the context of the six-party talks that 
     seek the verifiable and incontrovertible dismantlement of 
     North Korea's nuclear weapons programs and to use all 
     appropriate diplomatic and other means to achieve this 
     result;
       (F) to pursue diplomacy designed to address the underlying 
     regional security problems in Northeast Asia, South Asia, and 
     the Middle East, which would facilitate non-proliferation and 
     disarmament efforts in those regions;
       (G) to accelerate programs to safeguard and eliminate 
     nuclear weapons-usable material to the highest standards to 
     prevent access by terrorists and governments;
       (H) to halt the use of highly enriched uranium in civilian 
     reactors;
       (I) to strengthen national and international export 
     controls and relevant security measures as required by United 
     Nations Security Council Resolution 1540;
       (J) to agree that no state may withdraw from the Nuclear 
     Non-Proliferation Treaty and escape responsibility for prior 
     violations of the Treaty or retain access to controlled 
     materials and equipment acquired for ``peaceful'' purposes;
       (K) to accelerate implementation of disarmament obligations 
     and commitments under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty 
     for the purpose of reducing the world's stockpiles of nuclear 
     weapons and weapons-grade fissile material; and
       (L) to strengthen and expand support for the Proliferation 
     Security Initiative.
