     of such agency determines and reports promptly to the 
     Committees on Appropriations that the termination of

     be obligated during the original period of availability: 
     Provided, That such earmarked funds that are continued 
     available for an additional fiscal year shall be obligated 
     only for the purpose of such earmark.

     included in the Helsinki Final Act: Provided, That such funds

     in the New Independent States of the Former Soviet Union may

     for Enterprise Funds shall be expended at the minimum rate 
     necessary to make timely payment for projects and activities.

       (e) Effect of Subsequent Employment With the Government.--
       (1) An individual who has received a voluntary separation

                         CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY

       Sec. 579. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       (1) The United States is the world leader in the 
     development of environmental technologies, particularly clean 
     coal technology.
       (2) Severe pollution problems affecting people in 
     developing countries, and the serious health problems that 
     result from such pollution, can be effectively addressed 
     through the application of United States technology.
       (3) During the next century, developing countries, 
     particularly countries in Asia such as China and India, will 
     dramatically increase their consumption of electricity, and 
     low quality coal will be a major source of fuel for power 
     generation.
       (4) Without the use of modern clean coal technology, the 
     resultant pollution will cause enormous health and 
     environmental problems leading to diminished economic growth 
     in developing countries and, thus, diminished United States 
     exports to those growing markets.
       (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States to promote the export of United States clean coal 
     technology. In furtherance of that policy, the Secretary of 
     State, the Secretary of the Treasury (acting through the 
     United States executive directors to international financial 
     institutions), the Secretary of Energy, and the Administrator 
     of the United States Agency for International Development 
     (USAID) should, as appropriate, vigorously promote the use of 
     United States clean coal technology in environmental and 
     energy infrastructure programs, projects and activities. 
     Programs, projects and activities for which the use of such 
     technology should be considered include reconstruction 
     assistance for the Balkans, activities carried out by the 
     Global Environmental Facility, and activities funded from 
     USAID's Development Credit Authority.


 sense of congress on management of united states interests in ukraine

       Sec. 580. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) Ukraine is a major European nation as it has the second 
     largest territory and sixth largest population of all the 
     States of Europe.
       (2) Ukraine has important geopolitical and economic roles 
     to play within Central and Eastern Europe.
       (3) A strong, stable, and secure Ukraine serves the 
     interests of peace and stability in all of Europe, which are 
     important national security interests of the United States.
       (4) Ukraine is a member State of the Council of Europe, the 
     Organization on Security and Cooperation in Europe, the 
     Central European Initiative, and the Euro-Atlantic 
     Partnership Conference, is a participant in the Partnership 
     for Peace program of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, 
     and has entered into a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement 
     with the European Union.
       (5) The Government of Ukraine has clearly articulated its 
     country's aspirations to become fully integrated into 
     European and transatlantic institutions, and, in pursuit of 
     the attainment of that aspiration, the government of Ukraine 
     has requested associate membership in the European Union with 
     the intent of eventually becoming a full member of the 
     European Union.
       (6) It is the policy of the United States to support the 
     aspiration of Ukraine to assume its rightful place among the 
     European and transatlantic community of democratic States and 
     in European and transatlantic institutions.
       (7) In the United States Government, the responsibility for 
     management of United States interests in Ukraine would be 
     most effectively performed by the officials who perform the 
     responsibility for management of United States interests in 
     Europe, and a designation of those officials to do so would 
     strongly underscore and most effectively support attainment 
     of the United States objective to build a Europe whole and 
     free.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretary of State should designate the Assistant 
     Secretary of State for European Affairs to perform, through 
     the Bureau of European Affairs of the Department of State, 
     the responsibilities of the Department of State for the 
     management of United States interests in Ukraine.

     Iraqi Liberation Act (Public Law 105-338), $250,000 shall be 
     made available for the Iraq Foundation.


                    SELF-DETERMINATION IN EAST TIMOR

       Sec. 584. (a) The President, the Secretary of State, the 
     Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of the Treasury 
     (acting through United States executive directors to 
     international financial institutions) should immediately 
     intensify their efforts to prevail upon the Indonesian 
     Government and military to--
       (1) disarm and disband anti-independence militias in East 
     Timor;
       (2) grant full access to East Timor by international human 
     rights monitors, humanitarian organizations, and the press;
       (3) allow Timorese who have been living in exile to return 
     to East Timor to campaign for and participate in the ballot;

       (4) release all political prisoners.
       (b) The President shall submit a report to Congress not 
     later than 15 days after passage of this Act, containing a

     military to fulfill the steps described in paragraph (a).
       (c) The Secretary of the Treasury shall direct the United 
     States executive directors to international financial 
     institutions to take into account the extent of efforts made 
     by the Indonesian Government and military to fulfill the 
     steps described in paragraph (a), in determining their vote 
     on any loan or financial assistance to Indonesia.


          sense of the senate on the citizens democracy corps

       Sec. 585. It is the sense of the Senate that with regard to 
     promoting economic development and open, democratic countries 
     in the former Soviet Union and Central Eastern Europe, the 
     Committee commends the work of the Citizens Democracy Corps 
     (CDC), which utilizes senior-level United States business 
     volunteers to assist enterprises, institutions, and local 
     governments abroad. Their work demonstrates the significant 
     impact that United States Agency for International 
     Development (USAID) support of a United States 
     nongovernmental organization (NGO) program can have on the 
     key United States foreign policy priorities of promoting 
     broad-based, stable economic growth and open, market-oriented 
     economies in transitioning economies. By drawing upon the 
     skills and voluntary spirit of United States businessmen and 
     women to introduce companies, CDC furthers the goals of the 
     Freedom of Support Act (NIS) and Support for Eastern European 
     Democracy (SEED), forging positive, lasting connections 
     between the United States and these countries. The Committee 
     endorses CDC's very cost-effective programs and believes they 
     should be supported and expanded not only in the former 
     Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, but in transitioning and 
     developing economies throughout the world.

       Sec. 586. (a) Assistance.--

     this subsection is to promote and strengthen institutions of 
     democratic government and the growth of an independent civil 
     society in Yugoslavia, including ethnic tolerance and respect 
     for internationally recognized human rights.
       (2) Authorization for assistance.--The President is 
     authorized to furnish assistance and other support for 
     individuals and independent nongovernmental organizations to 
     carry out the purpose of paragraph (1) through support for 
     the activities described in paragraph (3).
       (3) Activities supported.--Activities that may be supported

       (B) The development of nongovernmental organizations.
       (C) The development of independent media.
       (D) The development of the rule of law, a strong, 
     independent judiciary, and transparency in political 
     practices.
       (E) International exchanges and advanced professional 
     training programs in skill areas central to the development 
     of civil society and a market economy.
       (F) The development of all elements of the democratic 
     process, including political parties and the ability to 
     administer free and fair elections.
       (G) The development of local governance.
       (H) The development of a free-market economy.
       (4) Authorization of appropriations.--
       (A) In general.--There is authorized to be appropriated to 
     the President $100,000,000 for the period beginning October 
     1, 1999, and ending September 30, 2001, to carry out this 
     subsection.
       (B) Availability of funds.--Amounts appropriated pursuant 
     to subparagraph (a) are authorized to remain available until 
     expended.
       (b) Prohibition on Assistance to Government of Serbia.--In 
     carrying out subsection (a), the President shall take all 
     necessary steps to ensure that no funds or other assistance 
     is provided to the Government of Yugoslavia or to the 
     Government of Serbia.
       (c) Assistance to Government of Montenegro.--In carrying 
     out subsection (a), the President is authorized to provide 
     assistance to the Government of Montenegro, if the President 
     determines, and so reports to the Speaker of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate, that the Government of Montenegro is committed to, 
     and is taking steps to promote, democratic principles, the 
     rule of law, and respect for internationally recognized human 
     rights.


                    foreign military training report

       Sec. 587. (a) The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     State shall jointly provide to the Congress by January 31, 
     2000 a report on all military training provided to foreign 
     military personnel (excluding sales) administered by the 
     Department of Defense and the Department of State during 
     fiscal years 1999 and 2000, including those proposed for 
     fiscal year 2000. This report shall include, for each such 
     military training activity, the foreign policy justification 
     and purpose for the training activity, the cost of the 
     training activity, the number of foreign students trained and 
     their units of operation, and the location of the training. 
     In addition, this report shall also include, with respect to 
     United States personnel, the operational benefits to United 
     States forces derived from each such training activity and 
     the United States military units involved in each such 
     training activity. This report may include a classified annex 
     if deemed necessary and appropriate.
       (b) For purposes of this section a report to Congress shall 
     be deemed to mean a report to the Appropriations and Foreign 
     Relations Committees of the Senate and the Appropriations and 
     International Relations Committees of the House of 
     Representatives.


    control and eliminate the international problem of tuberculosis

       Sec. 588. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that:
       (1) Since the development of antibiotics in the 1950's, 
     tuberculosis has been largely controlled in the United States 
     and the Western World.
       (2) Due to societal factors, including growing urban decay, 
     inadequate health care systems, persistent poverty, 
     overcrowding, and malnutrition, as well as medical factors, 
     including the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the emergence of multi-
     drug resistant strains of tuberculosis, tuberculosis has 
     again become a leading and growing cause of adult deaths in 
     the developing world.
       (3) According to the World Health Organization--
       (A) in 1998, about 1,860,000 people worldwide died of 
     tuberculosis-related illnesses;
       (B) one-third of the world's total population is infected 
     with tuberculosis; and

[[Page 15330]]

       (C) tuberculosis is the world's leading killer of women 
     between 15 and 44 years old and is a leading cause of 
     children becoming orphans.
       (4) Because of the ease of transmission of tuberculosis, 
     its international persistence and growth pose a direct public 
     health threat to those nations that had previously largely 
     controlled the disease. This is complicated in the United 
     States by the growth of the homeless population, the rate of 
     incarceration, international travel, immigration, and HIV/
     AIDS.
       (5) With nearly 40 percent of the tuberculosis cases in the 
     United States attributable to foreign-born persons, 
     tuberculosis will never be eliminated in the United States 
     until it is controlled abroad.
       (6) The means exist to control tuberculosis through 
     screening, diagnosis, treatment, patient compliance, 
     monitoring, and ongoing review of outcomes.
       (7) Efforts to control tuberculosis are complicated by 
     several barriers, including--
       (A) the labor intensive and lengthy process involved in 
     screening, detecting, and treating the disease;
       (B) a lack of funding, trained personnel, and medicine in 
     virtually every nation with a high rate of the disease; and
       (C) the unique circumstances in each country, which 
     requires the development and implementation of country-
     specific programs.
       (8) Eliminating the barriers to the international control 
     of tuberculosis through a well-structured, comprehensive, and 
     coordinated worldwide effort would be a significant step in 
     dealing with the increasing public health problem posed by 
     the disease.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that if the total allocation for this Act is higher than the 
     level passed by the Senate, a top priority for the additional 
     funds should be to increase the funding to combat infectious 
     diseases, especially tuberculosis.


           to promote an international arms transfers regime

       Sec. 589. (a) Efforts.--The President shall continue and 
     expand efforts through the United Nations and other 
     international fora, including the Wassenaar Arrangement, to 
     limit arms transfers worldwide. The President shall take the 
     necessary steps to begin multilateral negotiations within 180 
     days after the date of the enactment of this Act, for the 
     purpose of establishing a permanent multilateral regime to 
     govern the transfer of conventional arms, particularly 
     transfers to countries--
       (1) that engage in persistent violations of human rights, 
     engage in acts of armed aggression in violation of 
     international law, and do not fully participate in the United 
     Nations Register of Conventional Arms; and
       (2) in regions in which arms transfers would exacerbate 
     regional arms races or international tensions that present a 
     danger to international peace and stability.
       (b) Report to Congress.--Not later than 6 months after the 
     commencement of the negotiations under subsection (a), and 
     not later than the end of every 6-month period thereafter 
     until an agreement described in subsection (a) is concluded, 
     the President shall report to the appropriate committees of 
     the Congress on the progress made during these negotiations.


                  expanded threat reduction initiative

       Sec. 590. It is the sense of the Senate that the programs 
     contained in the Expanded Threat Reduction Initiative are 
     vital to the national security of the United States and that 
     funding for those programs should be restored in conference 
     to the levels requested in the President's budget.


   sense of the senate regarding United States commitments under the 
              united states-North korean agreed framework

       Sec. 591. It is the sense of the Senate that, as long as 
     North Korea meets its obligations under the United States-
     North Korean Nuclear Agreed Framework of 1994, the United 
     States should meet its commitments under the Agreed 
     Framework, including required deliveries of heavy fuel oil to 
     North Korea and support of the Korean Peninsula Energy 
     Development Organization (KEDO).


                  expanded threat reduction initiative

       Sec. 592. The Senate finds that:
       (1) The proposed programs under the Expanded Threat 
     Reduction Initiative (ETRI) are critical and essential to 
     preserving United States national security.
       (2) The Department of State programs under the ETRI be 
     funded at or near the full request of $250,000,000 in the 
     Foreign Operations Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2000 
     prior to final passage.


   SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE 
                                BALKANS.

       Sec. 593. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) The United States and its allies in the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization (NATO) conducted large-scale military 
     operations against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
       (2) At the conclusion of 78 days of these hostilities, the 
     United States and its NATO allies suspended military 
     operations against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia based 
     upon credible assurances by the latter that it would fulfill 
     the following conditions as laid down by the so called Group 
     of Eight (G-8):
       (A) An immediate and verifiable end of violence and 
     repression in Kosova.
       (B) Staged withdrawal of all Yugoslav military, police, and 
     paramilitary forces from Kosova.
       (C) Deployment in Kosova of effective international and 
     security presences, endorsed and adopted by the United 
     Nations Security Council, and capable of guaranteeing the 
     achievement of the agreed objectives.
       (D) Establishment of an interim administration for Kosova, 
     to be decided by the United Nations Security Council which 
     will seek to ensure conditions for a peaceful and normal life 
     for all inhabitants in Kosova.
       (E) Provision for the safe and free return of all refugees 
     and displaced persons from Kosova and an unimpeded access to 
     Kosova by humanitarian aid organizations.
       (3) These objectives appear to have been fulfilled, or to 
     be in the process of being fulfilled, which has led the 
     United States and its NATO allies to terminate military 
     operations against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
       (4) The G-8 also called for a comprehensive approach to the 
     economic development and stabilization of the crisis region, 
     and the European Union has announced plans for $1,500,000,000 
     over the next 3 years for the reconstruction of Kosova, for 
     the convening in July of an international donors' conference 
     for Kosova aid, and for subsequent provision of 
     reconstruction aid to the other countries in the region 
     affected by the recent hostilities followed by reconstruction 
     aid directed at the Balkans region as a whole.
       (5) The United States and some of its NATO allies oppose 
     the provision of any aid, other than limited humanitarian 
     assistance, to Serbia until Yugoslav President Slobodan 
     Milosevic is out of office.
       (6) The policy of providing reconstruction aid to Kosova 
     and other countries in the region affected by the recent 
     hostilities while withholding such aid for Serbia presents a 
     number of practical problems, including the absence in Kosova 
     of financial and other institutions independent of 
     Yugoslavia, the difficulty in drawing clear and enforceable 
     distinctions between humanitarian and reconstruction 
     assistance, and the difficulty in reconstructing Montenegro 
     in the absence of similar efforts in Serbia.
       (7) In any case, the achievement of effective and durable 
     economic reconstruction and revitalization in the countries 
     of the Balkans is unlikely until a political settlement is 
     reached as to the final status of Kosova and Yugoslavia.
       (8) The G-8 proposed a political process towards the 
     establishment of an interim political framework agreement for 
     a substantial self-government for Kosova, taking into full 
     account the final Interim Agreement for Peace and Self-
     Government in Kosova, also known as the Rambouillet Accords, 
     and the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity 
     of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the other countries 
     of the region, and the demilitarization of the UCK (Kosova 
     Liberation Army).
       (9) The G-8 proposal contains no guidance as to a final 
     political settlement for Kosova and Yugoslavia, while the 
     original position of the United States and the other 
     participants in the so-called Contact Group on this matter, 
     as reflected in the Rambouillet Accords, called for the 
     convening of an international conference, after 3 years, to 
     determine a mechanism for a final settlement of Kosova status 
     based on the will of the people, opinions of relevant 
     authorities, each Party's efforts regarding the 
     implementation of the agreement and the provisions of the 
     Helsinki Final Act.
       (10) The current position of the United States and its NATO 
     allies as to the final status of Kosova and Yugoslavia calls 
     for an autonomous, multiethnic, democratic Kosova which would 
     remain as part of Serbia, and such an outcome is not 
     supported by any of the Parties directly involved, including 
     the governments of Yugoslavia and Serbia, representatives of 
     the Kosovar Albanians, and the people of Yugoslavia, Serbia 
     and Kosova.
       (11) There has been no final political settlement in 
     Bosnia-Herzegovina, where the Armed Forces of the United 
     States, its NATO allies, and other non-Balkan nations have 
     been enforcing an uneasy peace since 1996, at a cost to the 
     United States alone of over $10,000,000,000, with no clear 
     end in sight to such enforcement.
       (12) The trend throughout the Balkans since 1990 has been 
     in the direction of ethnically based particularism, as 
     exemplified by the 1991 declarations of independence from 
     Yugoslavia by Slovenia and Croatia, and the country in the 
     Balkans which currently comes the closest to the goal of a 
     democratic government which respects the human rights of its 
     citizens is the nation of Slovenia, which was the first 
     portion of the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to 
     secede and is also the nation in the region with the greatest 
     ethnic homogeneity, with a population which is 91 percent 
     Slovene.
       (13) The boundaries of the various national and sub-
     national divisions in the Balkans have been altered 
     repeatedly throughout history, and international conferences 
     have frequently played the decisive role in fixing

[[Page 15331]]

     such boundaries in the modern era, including the Berlin 
     Congress of 1878, the London Conference of 1913, and the 
     Paris Peace Conference of 1919.
       (14) The development of an effective exit strategy for the 
     withdrawal from the Balkans of foreign military forces, 
     including the armed forces of the United States, its NATO 
     allies, Russia, and any other nation from outside the Balkans 
     which has such forces in the Balkans is in the best interests 
     of all such nations.
       (15) The ultimate withdrawal of foreign military forces, 
     accompanied by the establishment of durable and peaceful 
     relations among all of the nations and peoples of the Balkans 
     is in the best interests of those nations and peoples.
       (16) An effective exit strategy for the withdrawal from the 
     Balkans of foreign military forces is contingent upon the 
     achievement of a lasting political settlement for the region, 
     and that only such a settlement, acceptable to all parties 
     involved, can ensure the fundamental goals of the United 
     States of peace, stability, and human rights in the Balkans;
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the United States should call immediately for the 
     convening of an international conference on the Balkans, 
     under the auspices of the United Nations, and based upon the 
     principles of the Rambouillet Accords for a final settlement 
     of Kosova status, namely that such a settlement should be 
     based on the will of the people, opinions of relevant 
     authorities, each Party's efforts regarding the 
     implementation of the agreement and the provisions of the 
     Helsinki Final Act;
       (2) the international conference on the Balkans should also 
     be empowered to seek a final settlement for Bosnia-
     Herzegovina based on the same principles as specified for 
     Kosova in the Rambouillet Accords; and
       (3) in order to produce a lasting political settlement in 
     the Balkans acceptable to all parties, which can lead to the 
     departure from the Balkans in timely fashion of all foreign 
     military forces, including those of the United States, the 
     international conference should have the authority to 
     consider any and all of the following: political boundaries; 
     humanitarian and reconstruction assistance for all nations in 
     the Balkans; stationing of United Nations peacekeeping forces 
     along international boundaries; security arrangements and 
     guarantees for all of the nations of the Balkans; and 
     tangible, enforceable and verifiable human rights guarantees 
     for the individuals and peoples of the Balkans.


 international disaster assistance for opposition-controlled areas of 
                                 sudan

       Sec. 594. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, of

     capacity building, democracy promotion, civil administration, 
     judiciary, and infrastructure support in opposition-
     controlled areas of Sudan.
       (b) Quarterly Report.--The President shall submit a report 
     on a quarterly basis to the Congress on progress made in

                 sense of the senate regarding colombia

       Sec. 597. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) Colombia is a democratic country fighting multiple 
     wars--
       (A) a war against the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces 
     (FARC);
       (B) a war against the National Liberation Army (ELN);
       (C) a war against paramilitary organizations; and
       (D) a war against drug lords who traffic in deadly cocaine 
     and heroin.
       (2) Colombia is the world's third most dangerous country in 
     terms of political violence with 34 percent of world 
     terrorist acts committed there.
       (3) Colombia is the world's kidnaping capital of the world 
     with 2,609 kidnapings reported in 1998 and 513 reported in 
     the first three months of 1999.
       (4) In 1998 alone, 308,000 Colombians were internally 
     displaced in Colombia. Over the last decade, 35,000 
     Colombians have been killed.
       (5) The FARC and ELN are the two main guerrilla groups 
     which have waged the longest-running antigovernment 
     insurgency in Latin America.
       (6) The Colombian rebels have a combined strength of 10,000 
     to 20,000 full-time guerrillas; they have initiated armed 
     action in nearly 700 of the country's 1073 municipalities, 
     and control or influence roughly 60 percent of rural Colombia 
     including a demilitarized zone using their armed stranglehold 
     to abuse Colombian citizens.
       (7) Although the Colombian Army has 122,000 soldiers, there 
     are roughly only 20,000 soldiers available for offensive 
     combat operations.
       (8) Colombia faces the threat of the armed paramilitaries, 
     5,000 strong, who are constantly driving a wedge in the peace 
     process by their insistence in participating in the peace 
     talks.
       (9) More than 75 percent of the world's cocaine HCL and 75 
     percent of the heroin seized in the northeast United States 
     is of Colombian origin.
       (10) The conflicts in Colombia are creating spillovers to 
     the border countries of Venezuela, Panama and Ecuador: 
     Venezuela has sent 30,000 troops to its border and Ecuador is 
     sending 10,000 troops to its border.
       (11) Venezuela is our number one supplier of oil.
