     TITLE VII--NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE REVIEW OF THE NATIONAL 
                         RECONNAISSANCE OFFICE

     SEC. 701. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Imagery and signals intelligence satellites are vitally 
     important to the security of the Nation.
       (2) The National Reconnaissance Office (in this title 
     referred to as the ``NRO'') and its predecessor organizations 
     have helped protect and defend the United States for more 
     than 30 years.
       (3) The end of the Cold War and the enormous growth in 
     usage of information technology have changed the environment 
     in which the intelligence community must operate. At the same 
     time, the intelligence community has undergone significant 
     changes in response to dynamic developments in strategy and 
     in budgetary matters. The acquisition and maintenance of 
     satellite systems are essential to providing timely 
     intelligence to national policymakers and achieving 
     information superiority for military leaders.
       (4) There is a need to evaluate the roles and mission, 
     organizational structure, technical skills, contractor 
     relationships, use of commercial imagery, acquisition of 
     launch vehicles, launch services, and launch infrastructure, 
     mission assurance, acquisition authorities, and relationship 
     to other agencies and departments of the Federal Government 
     of the NRO in order to assure continuing success in satellite 
     reconnaissance in the new millennium.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Presidential Decision Directive 42, issued on October 
     21, 1995, ordered agencies of the executive branch of the 
     United States Government to, inter alia, increase the 
     priority and resources devoted to the direct and immediate 
     threat international crime presents to national security, 
     work more closely with other governments to develop a global 
     response to this threat, and use aggressively and creatively 
     all legal means available to combat international crime.
       (2) Executive Order No. 12978 of October 21, 1995, provides 
     for the use of the authorities in the International Emergency 
     Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to 
     target and apply sanctions to 4 international narcotics 
     traffickers and their organizations that operate from 
     Colombia.
       (3) IEEPA was successfully applied to international 
     narcotics traffickers in Colombia and based on that 
     successful case study, Congress believes similar authorities 
     should be applied worldwide.
       (4) There is a national emergency resulting from the 
     activities of international narcotics traffickers and their 
     organizations that threatens the national security, foreign 
     policy, and economy of the United States.
       (b) Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States to 
     apply economic and other financial sanctions to significant 
     foreign narcotics traffickers and their organizations 
     worldwide to protect the national security, foreign policy, 
     and economy of the United States from the threat described in 
     subsection (a)(4).

     SEC. 803. PURPOSE.

       The purpose of this title is to provide authority for the 
     identification of, and application of sanctions on a 
     worldwide basis to, significant foreign narcotics 
     traffickers, their organizations, and the foreign persons who 
     provide support to those significant foreign narcotics 
     traffickers and their organizations, whose activities 
     threaten the national security, foreign policy, and economy 
     of the United States.

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the Senate and the House at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 1555) to authorize 
     appropriations for fiscal year 2000 for intelligence and the 
     intelligence-related activities of the United States 
     Government, the Community Management Account, and the Central 
     Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System, and for 
     other purposes, submit the following joint statement to the 
     Senate and the House in explanation of the effect of the 
     action agreed upon by the managers and recommended in the 
     accompanying conference report:
       The Senate amendments struck all of the House bill after 
     the enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
       The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of 
     the Senate with an amendment that is a substitute for the 
     House bill and the Senate amendment. The differences between 
     the House bill, the Senate amendment, and the substitute 
     agreed to in conference are noted below, except for clerical 
     corrections, conforming changes made necessary by agreements 
     reached by the conferees, and minor drafting and clerical 
     changes.
       The managers agree that the congressionally directed 
     actions described in the respective committee reports or 
     classified annexes should be undertaken to the extent that 
     such congressional directed actions are not amended, altered, 
     or otherwise specifically addressed in either this Joint 
     Explanatory Statement or in the classified annex to the 
     conference report on the bill H.R. 1555.

     departments, agencies, and other elements of the United 
     States Government for whose intelligence and intelligence 
     related activities the Act authorizes appropriations for 
     fiscal year 2000. Section 101 is identical to section 101 of 
     the Senate amendment.


            sec. 102. classified schedule of authorizations

       Section 102 of the conference report makes clear that the

     intelligence and intelligence-related activities and 
     applicable personnel ceilings covered under this title for 
     fiscal year 2000 are contained in a classified Schedule of 
     Authorizations. The classified Schedule of Authorizations is 
     incorporated into the Act by this section. The details of the 
     Schedule are explained in the classified annex to this 
     report. Section 102 is similar to section 102 of the House 
     bill and section 102 of the Senate amendment.


                   sec. personnel ceiling adjustments

       Section 103 of the conference report authorizes the

     year 2000 to authorize employment of civilian personnel in 
     excess of the personnel ceilings applicable to the components 
     of the Intelligence Community under section 102 by an amount 
     not to exceed two percent of the total of the ceilings 
     applicable under section 102. The Director of Central 
     Intelligence may exercise this authority only when doing so 
     is necessary to the performance of important intelligence 
     functions. Any exercise of this authority must be reported to 
     the two intelligence committees of the Congress.
       The managers emphasize that the authority conferred by 
     section 103 is not intended to permit the wholesale raising 
     of personnel strength in any intelligence component. Rather, 
     the section provides the Director of Central Intelligence 
     with flexibility to adjust personnel levels temporarily for 
     contingencies and for overages caused by an imbalance between 
     hiring of new employees and attrition of current employees. 
     The managers do not expect the Director of Central 
     Intelligence to allow heads of intelligence components to 
     plan to exceed levels set in the Schedule of Authorizations 
     except for the satisfaction of clearly identified hiring 
     needs which are consistence with the authorization of 
     personnel strengths in this bill. In no case is this 
     authority to be used to provide for positions denied by this 
     bill. Section 103 is identical to section 103 of the House 
     bill and section 103 of the Senate amendment.


          sec. 104. intelligence community management account

       Section 104 of the conference report authorizes 
     appropriations for the Community Management Account for the 
     Director of Central Intelligence and sets the personnel end-
     strength for the Intelligence Community Management Staff for 
     fiscal year 2000.
       Subsection (a) authorizes appropriations of $170,672,000 
     for fiscal year 2000 for the activities of the Community 
     Management Account (CMA) of the Director of Central 
     Intelligence.
       The House bill and the Senate amendment were nearly 
     identical.
       The Senate amendment, however, contained a provision 
     earmarking funds from the CMA for the Information Security 
     Oversight Office (ISOO). The House bill did not include a 
     similar provision. The House recedes to the Senate position 
     with a modification. The managers have agreed to delete the 
     provision earmarking Community Management funds for the ISOO. 
     The managers agree that authorizing funds from the CMA for 
     the ISOO is an inappropriate allocation of intelligence 
     community funds.
       Subsection (b) authorizes 347 full-time personnel for the 
     Community Management Staff for fiscal year 2000 and provides 
     that such personnel may be permanent employees of the Staff 
     or detailed from various elements of the United States 
     Government.
       Subsection (c) authorizes additional appropriations and 
     personnel for the Community Management Account as specified 
     in the classified Schedule of Authorizations and permits 
     these additional amounts to remain available through 
     September 30, 2001.
       Subsection (d) requires, except as provided in Section 113 
     of the National Security Act of 1947 or for temporary 
     situations of less than one year, that personnel from another 
     element of the United States Government be detailed to an 
     element of the Community Management Account on a reimbursable 
     basis.
       Subsection (e) authorizes $27,000,000 of the amount 
     authorized in subsection (a) to be made available for the 
     National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC).


 Sec. 105. AUTHORIZATION OF EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR 
                            FISCAL YEAR 1999

       Section 105 specifically authorizes, for purposes of 
     section 504 of the National Security Act of 1947, those 
     intelligence and intelligence-related activities that were 
     deemed to have been authorized, pursuant to that section, 
     through the 1999 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act 
     (P.L 106-31). A provision similar to section 105 was included 
     in the House bill but was not included in the Senate 
     amendment. The Senate recedes to the House position. The 
     managers agreed to include this provision based on the 
     requirements of section 504 of the National Security Act of 
     1947.

 Title II--Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System


               sec. 201. authorization of appropriations

       Section 201 is identical to section 201 of the House bill 
     and section 201 of the Senate amendment.

                     Title III--General Provisions


SEC. 301. INCREASE IN EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS AUTHORIZED BY 
                                  LAW

       Section 301 is identical to section 301 of the House bill 
     and section 301 of the Senate amendment.


      sec. 302. restriction on conduct of intelligence activities

       Section 302 is identical to section 302 of the House bill 
     and section 302 of the Senate amendment.


           sec. 303. diplomatic intelligence support centers

       Section 303 of the conference report limits the 
     establishment, operation, or maintenance of Diplomatic 
     Intelligence Support Centers (DISCs) in fiscal year 2000 and 
     precludes the obligation or expenditure of any funds 
     appropriated for fiscal year 2000 for any purpose related to 
     DISCs, without the prior approval of the Director of Central 
     Intelligence (DCI).
       The managers direct that prior to any NFIP funds being 
     spent to establish a DISC, the DCI must, within three days of 
     his approval of the establishment of a DISC, advise the 
     congressional intelligence committees of his determination 
     that the approved DISC is required to provide necessary 
     intelligence support in furtherance of the national security 
     interests of the United States.
       Neither the House bill nor the Senate amendment contained a 
     similar provision. Prior to the meeting of conferees, 
     however, the managers learned of efforts by the Department of 
     State to establish a DISC and found the concept unwise. The 
     managers are not convinced that the DISC model is an 
     appropriate means for providing intelligence support to 
     diplomatic missions. This is specifically so where there is 
     already ample intelligence support at the disposal of the 
     chief of a diplomatic mission. Nothwithstanding this 
     provision limiting the establishment, operation, or 
     maintenance of DISCs, the managers strongly believe that 
     intelligence support to diplomatic missions is one of the 
     very highest intelligence priorities.
       Nothing in this provision precludes the Department of State 
     from deploying Bureau of Intelligence and Research analysts 
     to any location where the Secretary of State determines there 
     is a need for such support. Likewise, this provision does not 
     inhibit the Director of Central Intelligence from deciding 
     the appropriate level of, or the manner in which, 
     intelligence support to U.S. diplomatic missions shall be 
     accomplished. The managers have specifically identified in 
     the classified annex to this conference report the type of 
     intelligence support that is unaffected by this provision.


       sec. 304. protection of identity of retired covert agents

       The House bill contained a similar provision. The Senate 
     amendment did not. The Senate recedes to the House with a 
     modification replacing the mandatory minimum sentencing 
     provision in the House bill with a provision specifying that 
     terms of imprisonment imposed under the section shall be 
     served consecutively to any other sentence of imprisonment.


  Sec. 305. access to computers and computer data of executive branch 
            employees with access to classified information

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision. The 
     House bill did not. The House recedes to the Senate position.


sec. 306. naturalization of certain persons affiliated with a communist 
                            or similar party

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision. The 
     House bill did not. The House recedes to the Senate position.


                     sec. 307. technical amendment

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision. The 
     House bill did not. The House recedes to the Senate position.


 Sec. 308. declassification review of intelligence estimate on vietnam-
   era prisoners of war and missing in action personnel and critical 
                         assessment of estimate

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision. the 
     House bill did not. the House recedes to the Senate position.


sec. 309. report on legal standards applied for electronic surveillance

       The House bill and Senate amendment contained similar 
     provisions. The Senate recedes to the House provision with a 
     modification.


 sec. 310. report on effects of foreign espionage on the united states

       The House bill contained a similar provision. The Senate 
     amendment did not. The Senate recedes to the House position.


 sec. 311. report on activities of the central intelligence agency in 
                                 chile

       Section 311 requires the Director of Central Intelligence 
     to submit a report to the appropriate committees of Congress 
     no later than nine months after this Act is enacted 
     describing all activities of officers, covert agents, and 
     employees of all elements in the intelligence community with 
     respect to the assassination of President Salvador Allende in 
     September 1973; the accession of General Augusto Pinochet to 
     the Presidency of the Republic of Chile; and, violations of 
     human rights committed by officers or agents of former 
     President Pinochet.
       The conferees note that the National Security Council on 
     February 1, 1999, directed the Departments of State, Justice, 
     and Defense; the Central Intelligence Agency; and the 
     National Archives to compile and review for public release 
     all documents that shed light on human rights abuses, 
     terrorism, and other acts of political violence during and 
     prior to the Pinochet era in Chile. In addition, the 
     conferees note that the Department of Justice is conducting a 
     search for documents pertaining to the requests of the 
     Spanish court investigating the abuses of the Pinochet 
     regime. The managers expect the appropriate committees of 
     Congress, as set forth in this section, to be given access to 
     the documents responsive to these two searches, whether 
     classified or publicly released.
       Section 311 is similar to Section 306(a) of the House bill 
     but provides additional time for the submission of the 
     report.


               sec. 312. report on kosova liberation army

       The House bill contained a similar provision. The Senate 
     amendment did not. The Senate recedes to the House position.


   sec. 313. reaffirmation of longstanding prohibition against drug 
         trafficking by employees of the intelligence community

       The House bill contained a similar provision. The Senate 
     amendment did not. The Senate recedes to the House position 
     with a modification upon the insistence of the Senate.


   sec. 314. sense of congress on classification and declassification

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision. The 
     House bill did not. The House recedes to the Senate position.


   sec. 315. sense of congress on intelligence community contracting

       The House bill contained a similar provision. The Senate 
     amendment did not. The Senate recedes to the House position.

                 Title IV--Central Intelligence Agency


    sec. 401. improvement and extension of central services program

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision. The 
     House bill did not. The House recedes to the Senate position, 
     with a modification.


        sec. 402. extension of cia voluntary separation pay act

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision. The

 sec. 501. protection of operational files of the national imagery and 
                             mapping agency

       The House bill contained a similar provision. The Senate 
     amendment did not. The Senate recedes to the House position, 
     with a modification making this amendment to title 50, United 
     States Code, rather than in title 10, United States Code.


 sec. 502. funding for infrastructure and quality of life improvements 
                at menwith hill and bad aibling stations

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision. The 
     House bill did not. The House recedes to the Senate position.

   Title VI--Foreign Counterintelligence and International Terrorism 
                             Investigations


 sec. 601. expansion of definition of ``agent of a foreign power'' for 
     purposes of the foreign intelligence surveillance act of 1978

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision. The 
     House bill did not. The House recedes to the Senate position.


 sec. 602. federal bureau of investigation reports to other executive 
         agencies on results of counterintelligence activities

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision. The 
     House bill did not. The House recedes to the Senate position.

     Title VII--National Commission for the Review of the National 
                         Reconnaissance Office


                           sec. 701. findings

       Neither the House bill nor the Senate amendment contained a 
     similar provision. Prior to the meeting of conferees, 
     however, the managers determined that an independent review 
     of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) must be conducted 
     to ensure that the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) must 
     be conducted to ensure that the Intelligence Community will 
     acquire the most efficient, technologically capable, and 
     economical satellite collection systems, and that the 
     national policymakers and military leaders receive the 
     intelligence they require to keep our nation secure. 
     Therefore, the managers have included a provision creating 
     the Commission for the Review of the National Reconnaissance 
     Office.

[[Page 28671]]

       The managers agreed that the functions and missions carried 
     out by the NRO are essential to the provision of timely 
     intelligence to policymakers and military leaders. However, 
     the changing threat environment and emerging technologies 
     have altered both what information satellites can collect and 
     how they collect it. Additionally, Congress wants to ensure 
     that future generations of intelligence collection satellites 
     both perform to their requirements and are purchased at a 
     fair cost to the taxpayer.


     sec. 702. national commission for the review of the national 
                         reconnaissance office

       The Commission will have eleven members. The Majority 
     Leader of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, in 
     consultation with the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee 
     on Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on 
     Intelligence, will each appoint one commission member from 
     their respective Chamber and two from private life. The 
     Minority Leaders of the Senate and House, in consultation 
     with the Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on 
     Intelligence and the ranking member of the House Permanent 
     Select Committee on Intelligence, will each appoint one 
     commission member from their respective Chamber and one from 
     private life. Additionally, the Deputy Director of Central 
     Intelligence for Community Management will be a voting member 
     of the Commission and the Director of the National 
     Reconnaissance Office will be an ex officio, i.e., non-
     voting, member of the Commission.
       The managers have included requirements that individuals 
     appointed to the Commission will have experience and 
     expertise in technical intelligence collection systems and 
     methods; research and development programs; acquisition 
     management; use of intelligence information by national 
     policymakers and military leaders; and/or the implementation, 
     funding, or oversight of the national security policies of 
     the United States.
       The Co-Chairs of the Commission will be selected from among 
     the members of the Commission and agreed upon by the 
     President, the Majority and Minority Leaders of the Senate, 
     and the Speaker and Minority Leader of the House.


                     sec. 703. duties of commission

       The Commission is tasked with reviewing the roles and 
     mission of the NRO; its organizational structure; technical 
     skills of its employees; its contractor relationships; its 
     use of commercial imagery; its acquisition of launch 
     vehicles, launch services, launch infrastructure, and mission 
     assurance; its acquisition authorities; and the relationship 
     to other agencies and departments of the Federal Government.


                     sec. 704. powers of commission

       The Commission is authorized to hold hearings, receive 
     testimony from witnesses, receive information from federal 
     agencies, and receive assistance from the Director of Central 
     Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense in order to 
     discharge its duties under this title.


                     sec. 705. staff of commission

       The Commission is authorized to hire staff, procure 
     consultant services, and receive assistance from Federal 
     Government employees detailed to the Commission in order to 
     discharge its duties under this title.
       The managers agree that any member of the Commission is 
     authorized to designate his or her staff to serve as liaison 
     staff to the Commission. Liaison staff are required to 
     possess the requisite security clearances before being given 
     any access to classified information. Liaison staff shall 
     have the same access to the information considered by the 
     Commission as staff directly hired by the Commission.


               SEC. 706. COMPENSATION AND TRAVEL EXPENSES

       Members of the Commission are authorized to be compensated 
     and be allowed travel expenses for the performance of their 
     duties under this title.


    SEC. 707. TREATMENT OF INFORMATION RELATING TO NATIONAL SECURITY

       The Director of Central Intelligence shall assume 
     responsibility for the handling and disposition of national 
     security information received, considered, and used by 
     Commission.


                  SEC. 708. FINAL REPORT; TERMINATION

       The Commission is to produce a report with recommendations 
     to the congressional intelligence committees, the Director of 
     Central Intelligence, and the Secretary of Defense by 
     November 1, 2000. A copy of this report shall also be made 
     available to the committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives.
       The managers realize that the nature of the subject matter 
     involved in a review of the NOR may of necessity require that 
     Classified report be produced, but believe strongly that an 
     unclassified report should also be made available to the 
     public.


                 SEC. 709. ASSESSMENTS OF FINAL REPORT

       The Director of Central Intelligence and the Secretary of 
     Defense shall each submit to the congressional intelligence 
     committees as assessment of the report of the Commission 
     within 30 days of receipt of the report. A copy of these 
     assessments shall also be made available to the Commission on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives.


     SEC. 710. INAPPLICABILITY OF CERTAIN ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

       The provisions of the Federal advisory Committee Act and 
     the Freedom of Information Act shall not apply to the 
     activities of the Commission.


                           SEC. 711. FUNDING

       The Director of Central Intelligence shall make available 
     for purposes of the activities of the Commission $5.0 million 
     from the amounts authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
     for the National Reconnaissance Office.


        SEC. 712. CONGRESSIONAL INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES DEFINED

       The congressional intelligence committees referred to in 
     this title refer to the Senate Select Committee on 
     Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on 
     Intelligence.

     Title VIII--Blocking Assets of Significant Foreign Narcotics 
                              Traffickers


                         SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE

       This section provides the short title for this title: 
     ``Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act.''


                     SEC. 802. FINDINGS AND POLICY

       The provisions in title VIII are intended to be global in 
     scope--not country-specific--and specifically focus on the 
     major cocaine, heroin, marijuana, amphetamine, and emerging 
     synthetic narcotics produced and sold by foreign narco-
     trafficking organizations. The managers believe that the 
     enactment of these provisions will encourage U.S. law 
     enforcement an intelligence agencies to better coordinate 
     their efforts against the leaders of the world's most 
     dangerous multinational criminal organizations. This 
     initiative will assist U.S. Government efforts to identify 
     the assets, financial networks, and business associates of 
     major narcotics trafficking groups. If effectively 
     implemented, this strategy will disrupt these criminal 
     organizations and bankrupt their leadership.
       The provisions in this title are intended to supplement--
     not to replace--the United States' policy of annual 
     certification of countries based on their performance in 
     combating narcotics trafficking. This title will properly 
     focus our Government's efforts against the specific 
     individuals most responsible for trafficking in illegal 
     narcotics by attacking their sources of income and 
     undermining their efforts to launder the profits generated by 
     drug-trafficking into legitimate business activities.
       The intention of this legislation is to strengthen the 
     ability of United States law enforcement effectively to 
     target international narcotics traffickers attaching the 
     fabric of our society. The legislation is based on the 
     successful application of the International emergency 
     Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) against Colombian narcotics 
     traffickers. There is no intention that this legislation 
     affect Americans who are not knowingly and willfully engaged 
     in international narcotics trafficking. Nor is it intended in 
     any way to derogate from existing constitutional and 
     statutory due process protections for those whose assets are 
     blocked or seized pursuant to law.


                           sec. 803. purpose

       The legal precedent for this title was the successful 
     application of sanctions in 1995 and 1996 against the Cali 
     Cartel narco-trafficking organization and its key leaders. 
     Executive Order 12978, issued by the Clinton Administration 
     in October 1995, had the effect of dismantling and defunding 
     numerous business entities conclusively tied to the Cali 
     Cartel. Relying on the authorities provided within the IEEPA, 
     President Clinton found that the activities of several 
     Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers (SDNTs) 
     constituted an unusual and extraordinary threat to the United 
     States' national security, foreign policy, and economy. In a 
     June 1998 publication of the Treasury Department, the SDNT 
     program was described as follows:
       Companies and individuals are identified as SDNTs and 
     placed on the SDNT list if they are determined, (a) to play a 
     significant role in international narcotics trafficking 
     centered in Colombia, (b) to materially assist in or provide 
     financial or technological support for, or goods and services 
     in support of, the narcotics trafficking activities of 
     persons designated in or pursuant to the executive order, or 
     (c) to be owned or controlled by, or to act for or on behalf 
     of, persons designated in or pursuant to Executive order 
     12978. The objectives of the SDNT program are to identify, 
     expose, isolate and incapacitate the businesses and agents of 
     the Colombian cartels and to deny them access to the U.S. 
     financial system and to the benefits of trade and 
     transactions involving United States businesses and 
     individuals.
       Coordinated law enforcement efforts by the U.S. and 
     Colombian Governments in support of these sanctions put the 
     Cali Cartel kingpins out of business. This legislation is 
     intended to follow up on the success of the Colombian SDNT 
     precedent by applying similar U.S. Government authorities and 
     resources against significant foreign narcotics traffickers 
     around the globe--including, but not limited to, major 
     narcotics traffickers and

[[Page 28672]]

     trafficking organizations based in Afghanistan, Bolivia, 
     Burma, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Laos, Mexico, Pakistan, 
     People's Republic of China, Peru, Russia, and Thailand.
       The bottom line objective of these provisions is to 
     bankrupt and disrupt the major narcotics trafficking 
     organizations. The targets of this legislation are not only 
     the drug kingpins, but those involved in their illicit 
     activities, such as: money laundering, acquiring chemical 
     precursors to manufacture narcotics, manufacturing the drugs, 
     transporting narcotics from the drug source countries to the 
     United States, and managing the assets of these criminal 
     enterprises.


   sec. 804. public identification of significant foreign narcotics 
                    traffickers and required reports

       This section requires the Secretary of the Treasury--in 
     consultation with the Attorney General, the Director of 
     Central Intelligence, the Secretary of Defense, and the 
     Secretary of State--to provide the appropriate and necessary 
     information to enable the President to prepare the 
     congressionally-mandated classified and unclassified reports 
     on significant foreign narcotics traffickers. The President 
     then shall make the determination to formally designate any 
     significant foreign narcotics traffickers on June 1, 2000 
     (and not later than June 1st of each year thereafter) as 
     constituting an unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
     national security, foreign policy and the economy of the 
     United States. On June 1, 2000 (and not later than June 1st 
     of each year thereafter), the President shall submit an 
     unclassified report to the Committees on Intelligence, 
     International Relations, Judiciary, Armed Services, and Ways 
     and Means of the House of Representatives, and the Committees 
     on Intelligence, Foreign Relations, Judiciary, Armed 
     Services, and Finance of the Senate for official review. This 
     unclassified report shall: (1) identify publicly the foreign 
     persons that the President determines are appropriate for 
     sanctions pursuant to this title; and (b) detail publicly the 
     President's intent to impose sanctions upon these significant 
     foreign narcotics traffickers pursuant to this title. 
     Individuals and entities linked to major narcotics 
     trafficking groups may be added to or withdrawn from the 
     kingpins' list by the President at any time during the year.
       The managers expect that the President will provide a 
     classified report on July 1, 2000 (and not later than July 
     1st of each year thereafter) to the House Permanent Select 
     Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on 
     Intelligence detailing the overall status of the program, 
     including personnel and resources directed towards the 
     program, and providing background information with respect to 
     newly identified significant foreign narcotics traffickers 
     and their activities. The managers intend that the executive 
     branch shall provide a detailed briefing after publication of 
     the annual classified report with respect to its findings.
       If the Director of Central Intelligence or the Attorney 
     General make a determination not to designate a foreign 
     individual on the Global Kingpins list due to a possible 
     compromise of intelligence or law enforcement sources and 
     methods, the legislation requires that they shall notify the 
     House and Senate Intelligence Committees delineating the 
     basis of their determination. A formal notification of a 
     determination not to designate shall be provided to the House 
     and Senate Intelligence Committees not later than July 1, 
     2000, and on an annual basis thereafter.
       As a general matter, it is contemplated that the Director 
     of Central Intelligence, the Attorney General, and the 
     Secretary of the Treasury will determine to exclude the name 
     of an individual from the Global Kingpins list only: (1) 
     under circumstances where the mere appearance of the name on 
     the list could compromise an intelligence source or method; 
     (2) could reasonably be expected to disclose the identity of 
     a confidential law enforcement source; (3) would disclose 
     techniques and procedures for law enforcement prosecutions; 
     (4) could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or 
     physical safety of any individual; or (5) where there is an 
     insufficient basis upon which to rely to support that 
     individual's inclusion.
       A similar version of this legislation, offered in the House 
     as the ``Drug Kingpins Bankruptcy Act of 1999,'' established 
     a precedent for the future content and scope of the Global 
     Kingpins list, by specifically identifying the first group of 
     twelve of the world's most significant narco-traffickers from 
     Burma, the Caribbean Region, Colombia, Mexico and Thailand. 
     The first proposed Global Kingpins/SDNT list was developed in 
     consultation with the Drug Enforcement Administration, the 
     Federal Bureau of investigation, the State Department, the 
     Treasury Department, and the Central Intelligence Agency's 
     Crime and Narcotics Center.
       The managers also believe that the annual unclassified and 
     classified reports to the Congress will serve as vital 
     oversight tools by providing additional data for the annual 
     drug certification process. The certification process 
     requires the President to certify on March 1st of each year 
     the level of cooperation that the United States Government is 
     receiving from major drug producing and major transit 
     nations. The action or lack of action by both the 
     Administration and these nations on the ``majors list'' with 
     respect to the drug kingpins will become a significant annual 
     indicator of counterdrug cooperation.
       The managers note that the Colombian Kingpins/SDNT 
     initiative under Executive Order 12978 in October 1995 was 
     prepared within 6 months and was based upon information 
     already collected on these kingpins and their operations. The 
     managers recognize that the implementation of the Global 
     Kingpins list will require significant additional resources 
     and personnel from the intelligence and law enforcement 
     communities. The managers urge that the Administration 
     provide significant additional funding in the FY2001 Budget 
     for the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets 
     Control (OFAC) to fully implement the Global Kingpins program 
     in 2000 on a worldwide basis. As an interim measure, the 
     managers recommend that the Treasury Department's Office of 
     Foreign Assets Control receive analytical assistance and 
     technical support from the Treasury Department's Office of 
     Intelligence Support, the Justice Department's National Drug 
     Intelligence Center, and the CIA's Crime and Narcotics 
     Center.


         sec. 805. blocking assets and prohibiting transactions

       The effect of this provision will be to block all property 
     and interests in property within the United States that are 
     under the direct or indirect ownership or control of 
     significant foreign narcotics traffickers. Second, it will 
     block all assets of any foreign persons who materially 
     assist, provide financial or technical support, or offer 
     goods and services to such significant foreign narcotics 
     traffickers. Third, it will block the assets of any foreign 
     persons, who are determined by the United States Government 
     as controlled by or acting on behalf of significant foreign 
     narcotics traffickers. Fourth, it will block the assets of 
     any foreign persons that the Secretary of the Treasury--in 
     consultation with the Director of Central Intelligence, the 
     Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the 
     Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, the 
     Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense--designates 
     as playing a significant role in international narcotics 
     trafficking.
       The sanctions that would take effect against the kingpins 
     designated by the President, and their organizations and 
     subordinates, would include the following:
       (a) All assets of the kingpins and their organizations and 
     subordinates subject to United States jurisdiction would be 
     blocked; other law enforcement tools such as seizure and 
     forfeiture would be available if appropriate.
       (b) U.S. individuals and companies would be prohibited from 
     engaging in unlicensed transactions, including any commercial 
     or financial dealings, with any of the named kingpins and 
     their organizations and subordinates.
       Following the Colombia IEEPA-SDNT precedent, the Secretary 
     of the Treasury will have the authority to determine and list 
     persons and entities deemed to be materially assisting in, 
     providing financial or technological support for, or 
     providing goods or services in support of the narcotics 
     trafficking activities of significant foreign narcotics 
     traffickers. In order to develop this second-level list of 
     facilitating persons and entities, the Secretary of the 
     Treasury will rely on information collected by the U.S. 
     intelligence and law enforcement communities as well as on 
     information provided by foreign government intelligence and 
     law enforcement organizations. This information must pass 
     through a rigorous interagency review process; the 
     information must be material, factual and verifiable, and 
     able to withstand scrutiny in a United States Federal Court. 
     The success of the Colombia IEEPA-SDNT program has largely 
     been the product of close U.S. cooperation with Colombian law 
     enforcement and regulatory agencies. It is expected that 
     global implementation of the kingpins list will promote 
     closer U.S. cooperation with foreign law enforcement and 
     regulatory agencies.
       As with the Colombia IEEPA-SDNT program, the Secretary of 
     the Treasury will issue all necessary administrative 
     regulations and specifications to implement the Kingpins 
     program on a global basis. Notification of United States 
     persons and entities linked to significant foreign narcotics 
     traffickers will also follow the precedents established under 
     the Colombia IEEPA-SDNT program. Due to threats made against 
     the U.S. officials responsible for implementation of the 
     Colombia SDNT program, records and information obtained or 
     created in the preparation of the Global Kingpins/SDNT list 
     as well as the specific details on the implementation of 
     sanctions against significant foreign narcotics traffickers 
     would be exempted from the Freedom of Information Act.
       All SDNT programs require that such designations pass an 
     ``arbitrary and capricious'' test; and all designations are 
     based upon a non-criminal standard of ``reasonable cause to 
     believe'' that the party is owned or controlled by, or acts, 
     or purports to act, for or on behalf of the sanctioned non-
     state party. Furthermore, the Colombia IEEPA-SDNT executive 
     order uses an additional designation basis for foreign firms 
     or individuals

[[Page 28673]]

     that ``materially * * * assist in or provide financial or 
     technological support for or goods or services in support of, 
     the narcotics trafficking activities'' of the named drug 
     kingpins or other, already designated SDNTs.
       In implementing the Colombia IEEPA-SDNT program, OFAC 
     analysts identify and research foreign targets that can be 
     linked by evidence to individuals or entities already 
     designated pursuant to E.O. 12978. To establish sufficient 
     linkage, OFAC initially relied upon a significant body of 
     documentary evidence through criminal law enforcement raids 
     and seizures. The President's involvement was required in the 
     designation of the original four Cali cartel kingpins named 
     in the annex to E.O. 12978. Additional kingpin listings in 
     Colombia have been developed through close coordination 
     between OFAC and the Department of Justice, and the 
     preponderance of Colombian SDNTs have been designated as a 
     product of OFAC's research and collection efforts.
       In the Colombia IEEPA-SDNT program, OFAC has reached 
     designation determinations only after extensive reviews of 
     the evidence internally and with the Department of Justice. 
     E.O. 12978 has required that the State and Justice 
     Departments be consulted by the Treasury prior to a 
     designation. As noted above, Justice is deeply involved in 
     examining the sufficiency of the evidence that occurs before 
     any parties are added to the list.
       OFAC regulations provide for post-designation review and 
     remedies. The usual forum for considering removal of a 
     designation (such as a change in circumstances or behavior) 
     is one in which the named person or entity petitions OFAC for 
     removal. Most petitioners initiate the review process simply 
     by writing OFAC. Exchanges of correspondence, additional 
     fact-finding and meetings occur before OFAC decides whether 
     there is a basis for removal. Although a number of persons 
     have been removed through this means, only a very few persons 
     or entities on the SDNT and other SDNT lists have ever 
     petitioned for removal. Federal courts have held that no pre-
     deprivation hearing is required in blocking of assets because 
     of the Executive Branch's plenary authority to act in the 
     area of foreign policy and the obvious need to take immediate 
     action upon designation to avoid dissipation of affected 
     assets.


                         sec. 806. authorities

       This section generally restates the applicable provisions 
     of the International Economic Emergency Powers Act.


                         sec. 807. enforcement

       This section generally restates the applicable provisions 
     of the Trading with the Enemy Act.


                         sec. 808. definitions

       This section defines specific terms used in this title.


    sec. 809. exclusion of persons who have benefited from illicit 
                     activities of drug traffickers

       This section restates the applicable provisions of the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 as amended in 8 
     U.S.C. 1182(a)(2)(c). Designation on this list will result in 
     the denial of visas and inadmissibility of specially 
     designated narcotics traffickers, their immediate families, 
     and their business associates.


     sec. 810. judicial review commission on foreign asset control

       This section creates a commission to review the current 
     judicial, regulatory, and administrative authorities under 
     which the United States government blocks assets of foreign 
     persons and to provide a detailed constitutional examination 
     and evaluation of remedies available to United States persons 
     affected by the blocking of assets of foreign persons. The 
     commission is required to report back to Congress no later 
     than one year after the date of enactment of this act on its 
     findings, conclusions, and recommendations, if any, on the 
     matters under their review. The managers believe that the 
     public interest can best be served if the commission can 
     reach consensus on its conclusions. The managers acknowledge, 
     however, that consensus may not be able to reach on the 
     significant issues on which the commission will deliberate. 
     To that end, therefore, the managers have provided that the 
     report to be submitted to Congress at the end of the 
     commission's review period shall include all additional or 
     dissenting views, if any.
       Four of the commission members are to be appointed by the 
     Chairmen and Ranking Democrats of the congressional 
     intelligence committees. The fifth member of the Commission 
     shall be appointed by the four members of the commission 
     appointed by the intelligence committee Chairmen and Ranking 
     Democrats. The commission shall also be provided the 
     cooperation and assistance that it requests from any agency 
     in the federal government.
       The managers are determined to ensure that the judicial, 
     regulatory, and administrative remedies and procedures 
     available to U.S. persons affected by the blocking of assets 
     of foreign persons pass constitutional muster. As expected, 
     the managers concern centers on the fundamental question of 
     due process and whether that principle is affirmed and 
     sustained in the execution of this legislation. The managers 
     expect the members of the Commission to examine and report on 
     at least the following constitutional and other issues:
       (1) whether reasonable protections of innocent U.S. 
     businesses are available under the regime currently in place 
     that is utilized to carry out the provisions of the 
     International Emergency Economic Powers Act (``IEEPA'');
       (2) whether advance notice prior to blocking of one's 
     assets is required as a matter of constitutional due process;
       (3) whether there are reasonable opportunities under the 
     current IEEPA regulatory regime and the Administrative 
     Procedures Act for an erroneous blocking of assets or 
     mistaken listing under IEEPA to be remedied;
       (4) whether the level of proof that is required under the 
     current judicial, regulatory, or administrative scheme is 
     adequate to protect legitimate business interests from 
     irreparable financial harm;
       (5) whether there is constitutionally adequate 
     accessibility to the courts to challenge agency actions under 
     IEEPA, or the designation of persons or entities under IEEPA;
       (6) whether there are remedial measures and legislative 
     amendments that should be enacted to improve the current 
     asset blocking scheme under IEEPA or this title; and
       (7) whether the resources made available for the Office of 
     Foreign Assets Control (``OFAC'') at the Department of 
     Treasury in the fiscal year 2001 budget submission are 
     adequate to carry out the provisions of this title or the 
     other programs currently in effect under IEEPA.
