     the boycott against Israel was deeply troubling and 
     disappointing;

     diplomatic relations with Israel is also of deep concern;

     on the boycott and its members

     taken by the United States and the progress achieved to bring 
     about a public renunciation of the Arab primary boycott of 
     Israel and the secondary and tertiary boycotts of American 
     firms that have commercial relations with Israel and to

     reasonable avenues in assuring the collection and public 
     release of information pertaining to the murders of the six 
     American citizens in Guatemala.
       (c) The President shall order all Federal agencies and 
     departments, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
     that possess relevant information, to expeditiously 
     declassify and release to the victims' families such 
     information.
       (d) In making determinations concerning declassification 
     and release of relevant information, all Federal agencies and 
     departments shall presume in favor of releasing, rather than 
     of withholding, such information.
       (e) All reasonable efforts should be taken by the American 
     Embassy in Guatemala to work with relevant agencies of the 
     Guatemalan Government to protect the safety of American 
     citizens in Guatemala, and to assist in the investigations of 
     violations of human rights.

       Sec. 572. Funds appropriated by this Act to carry out the 
     provisions of chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961 may be made available for assistance for basic 
     education programs for Pakistan, notwithstanding any

     of the Arms Export Control Act may be used to provide 
     financing to Israel, Egypt and NATO and major non-NATO allies 
     for the procurement by leasing (including leasing with an 
     option to purchase) of defense articles from United States 
     commercial suppliers, not including Major Defense Equipment 
     (other than helicopters and other types of aircraft having 
     possible civilian application), if the President determines 
     that there are compelling foreign policy or national security 
     reasons for those defense articles being provided by 
     commercial lease rather than by government-to-government sale 
     under such Act.

     executive directors to the international financial 
     institutions to vote against any extension by such 
     institutions of any financial or technical assistance, to any 
     country, entity, or municipality whose competent authorities 
     have failed, as determined by the Secretary of State, to take 
     necessary and significant steps to implement its 
     international legal obligations to apprehend and transfer to 
     the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia 
     (the ``Tribunal'') all persons in their territory who have 
     been publicly indicted by the Tribunal and to otherwise

     congressional committees that the competent authorities of 
     such country, entity, or municipality are--
       (1) cooperating with the Tribunal, including access for 
     investigators, the provision of documents, and the surrender 
     and transfer of indictees or assistance in their 
     apprehension; and
       (2) are acting consistently with the Dayton Accords.
       (c) Not less than 15 days before any vote in an 
     international financial institution regarding the extension 
     of financial or technical assistance or grants to any country 
     or entity described in subsection (a), the Secretary of the 
     Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, shall 
     provide to the Committees on Appropriations a written 
     justification for the proposed assistance, including an 
     explanation of the United States position regarding any such

     and all government agencies with relevant information to help 
     prevent publicly indicted war criminals from benefiting from 
     any financial or technical assistance or grants provided to 
     any country or entity described in subsection (a).
       (e) The Secretary of State may waive the application of 
     subsection (a) with respect to a specific project within a 
     country, entity, or municipality upon a written determination 
     to the Committees on Appropriations that such assistance 
     directly supports the implementation of the Dayton Agreement 
     and its Annexes, which include the obligation to apprehend 
     and transfer indicted war criminals to the Tribunal and to 
     provide all possible assistance to refugees and displaced 
     persons and work to facilitate their voluntary return.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the committee 
substitute is agreed to.
  The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the two managers of the bill, Senators Leahy 
and McConnell, are due back any minute. It is my understanding that 
they are prepared to give their opening statements, and that they have 
at least a dozen amendments that the two managers have already cleared. 
We have accomplished a great deal on this bill already.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

[[Page 20356]]


  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I am sorry some of our colleagues have had 
to wait. Both Senator McConnell and I have been down at the White House 
meeting with the President and other Members on foreign policy issues. 
It is a day when I have been wearing two hats--going from the Judiciary 
Committee, and some of the issues we are handling there, to the foreign 
policy issues. But I am glad we are going to do the foreign operations 
appropriations bill. We tried bringing it up a week ago, but it was 
held hostage by partisan sniping over judicial nominations. I think 
that is both unnecessary and unwarranted.
  I consider it an honor that the desk that I sit in was once held by 
Senator Vandenberg, who coined the phrase that ``politics ends at the 
water's edge.'' The senior Senator from Kentucky and I have done this 
for years in writing the foreign aid bill, alternating us chairman and 
ranking member of the subcommittee. We work closely together, and I 
have stated many times how much I respect and admire him for his 
efforts to get a good, balanced foreign aid bill through.
  There are things on which we can have partisan debates, but we should 
not allow it on this bill, especially today when our Nation is at war.
  This bill is of enormous importance to our country. In fact, in the 
last 15 or 20 years when I have been either chairman or ranking member 
of this subcommittee, I don't know if I can think of a more critical 
time when we needed to quickly pass this bill.
  Before we start, though, I think it is appropriate to pay tribute to 
Ken Ludden, an official at the Treasury Department's Office of the 
Assistant Secretary for International Affairs, and formerly a 
congressional staff member, who died suddenly of a heart attack on 
September 10. Senator McConnell's staff, Senator Stevens' staff and my 
own staff, knew him well. At an appropriate time, Senator McConnell and 
I will offer an amendment to name this Foreign Operations 
Appropriations Act after him in recognition of his years of government 
service, and in particular for the invaluable assistance he gave to our 
subcommittee.
  Mr. President, in the past, there were times when the foreign 
operations appropriations bill has been the vehicle for divisive and 
time-consuming amendments on controversial foreign policy issues. But 
we are in an unusual time. Our country has suffered a grievous loss. 
This is a time for unity and for getting our work done quickly. I have 
amendments, Senator McConnell has amendments, and I am sure other 
Senators have amendments that would be controversial.
  Senator McConnell and I do not plan to offer our controversial 
amendments. This is not the time. We should work together to get this 
bill passed as quickly as possible.
  Frankly, I was impressed this afternoon, listening to the President 
speak of his discussions with foreign leaders during the APEC summit in 
Shanghai. The President forthrightly told us what he said. I am sure he 
did so there. It was not carefully drawn out diplomatic language, it 
was the President's own words, and I commend him for it.
  I think of the situation today. The President has a limited window of 
opportunity to do a number of things to help counter this long-term 
threat. Whether the President serves one or two terms, that threat will 
continue after he is gone. I am afraid it is going to continue long 
after every one of us is gone, whether one is new in the Senate and 
just beginning a career, or those who are winding down their careers in 
the Senate. No matter who one is, we are going to face this threat of 
terrorism for years to come. For the sake of our children, 
grandchildren, and generations to come, we have to make sure to do the 
right thing and take the steps that diminish the threat of terrorism 
over the long term.
  I know the President feels that way. I suspect all 100 Members of the 
Senate feel that way.
  What does this mean? It means that special forces attacks in 
Afghanistan, brave and effective as they were--and I think they were 
the right steps to take--are not enough. It goes well beyond the 
momentary alliances. It will not even end with the capture or the 
destruction of Osama bin Laden. All of these things are critical. But, 
there will be others who will rise in the same kind of milieu that 
created Osama bin Laden, rise in countries that fear us or hate us or 
cannot believe in the diversity we relish and practice, the democracy 
we cherish, the same democracy, Mr. President, that you and I and every 
Senator take a solemn oath to uphold.
  There are people in the world who may fear our Constitution. I have 
often said that the greatest part of our Constitution is probably the 
same part they fear--the first amendment. It gives us the freedom of 
speech. We do not all have to say the same thing. We can say what we 
want in this country. It also allows us to practice whatever religion 
we want or to choose to practice no religion at all.
  There is this wall, this Jeffersonian wall, between us. Think what 
that has allowed. It has allowed each one of us to hold whatever 
beliefs we want, free of any interference by the Government. It allows 
us to say what we want to say, free of interference from our 
Government. Perhaps, most importantly, it guarantees we are going to 
have diversity in this country. It means Nebraska will have its unique 
nature as will Vermont. It means there will be people in Nebraska who 
think differently than people in Vermont on some issues and think the 
same on others. It is this wonderful diversity that helps to guarantee 
a vibrant democracy in this country.
  It is that same diversity and that same attitude that holds 
totalitarianism to be an anathema to our way of life.
  It is this tolerance and diversity which frightens some other parts 
of the world. Unfortunately, we can build the most powerful army on 
Earth, and we have, the most powerful air force on Earth, and we have, 
the most powerful navy on Earth, and we have, and as a proud father of 
a young marine, the most amazing and powerful marine corps in the 
world. But none of that by itself can protect us. To truly have 
security, we must also do the things that help do away with ignorance 
and fear, abhorrence of the United States in parts of the world. And, 
we must sustain this effort for decades to come.
  One good example of this are the programs to help combat the spread 
of disease in the developing world. Many parts of the world, simply do 
not possess the health care infrastructure to treat a number of life-
threatening conditions that are curable with the proper treatment and 
care. And as a result far too many do not live beyond the age of 3 or 
4.
  Think what the United States can do to help eradicate disease, not 
only help eradicate disease but also to make sure diseases stay away, 
by putting in place the infrastructure so people are there to give the 
shots--polio vaccines, diphtheria shots--and remove river blindness 
once and for all. We can do that, and we will have a better and 
healthier populace in doing it, and we can point to this record and 
say: This is what the United States stands for. We do not speak your 
language, we do not follow your culture or customs, but we want your 
children to be healthier. Don't my colleagues think that in the long 
run this makes everyone better off and minimizes the kind of terrorist 
attacks we face?
  I would also ask my colleagues to think about the fact that every 
disease in the world is only an airplane trip away from our shores--or 
maybe even a postal stamp--away from our shores. Think about the things 
in this bill that will have countries to identify diseases, such as the 
ebola plague or some new strain of disease to which we are not 
resistant, to help isolate them, and to help cure them.
  We have a good bill. It was not an easy task. Senator McConnell has 
been an invaluable partner in putting this together.
  We are trying to do many things. We want to help educate people. We 
want to improve health care around the world. We want people to see and 
understand the best of the United States.
  At the same time, we are trying to combat these global problems by 
spending less than 1 percent of our budget.

[[Page 20357]]

  It is embarrassingly little for a superpower that is in a position to 
lead the world in solving these critical issues that threaten our 
interests and the health and safety of every American citizen.
  As a result, we often find ourselves unable to respond effectively to 
serious threats. That has proven to be true with international 
terrorism, but also when you consider what is needed to spot the spread 
of HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases.
  It is the case when you consider how little we are spending to 
protect the environment. We are more than $200 million in arrears in 
our payments to the Global Environment Facility.
  The amount in this bill for family planning, although $25 million 
above the Administrations request, is $89 million less than we provided 
in 1995. Yet hundreds of millions of impoverished people who want safe, 
voluntary family planning services are not able to get them. For those 
who have concerns about the numbers of abortions worldwide, think of 
the number of abortions that could be prevented if we had had adequate 
family planning, voluntary family planning services, in place.
  We ought to do a lot more to support the development of free markets 
and to strengthen democratic institutions, from central Asia to 
Macedonia to Latin America.
  There are major humanitarian disasters today in many regions of the 
world. We are hearing a lot about the looming catastrophe in 
Afghanistan, but similar tragedies exist in the Congo and Sudan, and 
drought and earthquakes have devastated parts of Central America.
  We are by far the richest country in the world--the richest country 
history has ever known--but on a per capita basis we often spend less 
than other industrialized countries to help people whose lives are 
hanging by a thread. This bill attempts to respond, within our limited 
allocation, to these and other problems.
  I very much appreciate the support we have received from Chairman 
Byrd and Senator Stevens. They have the unenviable task of dividing up 
a shrinking pie for 13 appropriations subcommittees.
  The bill contains $15.5 billion in discretionary budget authority. 
Although our 302(b) allocation was higher than the House's allocations, 
the House cut deeply into many of the President's requests for 
essential programs--programs which are also Strongly Supported by 
Senators. The Senate bill has restored many of those cuts.
  We restore sufficient funding for the Export-Import Bank to support 
subsidy financing well above the fiscal year 2000 level. We restore 
full funding for the foreign military financing program and provide a 
$10 million increase above the President's request for international 
military training.
  We restore most of the House cuts in the Economic Support Fund, as 
well as assistance for the former Soviet Republics.
  We provide additional funding for international peacekeeping and for 
assistance for the former Yugoslavia, including Serbia, Montenegro, and 
Macedonia.
  We include $450 million to combat HIV/AIDS, including $50 million for 
the Global Fund to combat AIDS, TB, and malaria. This falls well short 
of what we should be spending, it is an increase above last year's 
level.
  We also increase funding against other infectious diseases and for 
children's health programs, and I would note that both Republican and 
Democratic Senators have requested this.
  These programs are desperately needed to strengthen the capacity of 
developing countries to conduct surveillance and respond to diseases 
such as polio and measles. They are also equally important for 
combating the spread of biological agents such as anthrax used in acts 
of terrorism. There are tens of millions of dollars for those programs 
in this bill.
  We provide $718 million for the Andean countries, primarily Colombia, 
Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru, of which over half a billion dollars is for 
counterdrug programs. That is in addition to the $1.3 billion for Plan 
Colombia we appropriated last year. It is interesting, that about--who 
made requests to our subcommittee--even mentioned the Andean program, 
items which has not accomplished a great deal.
  The bill contains the usual earmarks for Middle East countries. It 
also continues various limitations or conditions on assistance to 
several countries.
  Senator McConnell and I have a number of amendments, including one to 
name this bill after Ken Ludden, and another to prohibit U.S. 
assistance to governments that harbor or provide financing for 
individuals involved in the September 11 terrorist attacks.
  We have a bill that that was reported in record time by the 
appropriations committee. And while I will now reveal a political 
secret that has probably gone unnoticed in this body, Senator McConnell 
and I are not politically ideological soulmates. We have kept this well 
hidden, but it is a fact. Only because it is late in the evening and 
the Chamber is nearly empty do I dare whisper that. I would not want 
anybody to know that outside of this Chamber.
  This political odd couple has worked together to bring before this 
Senate a bill, within the amount of money we had, that I think is well 
balanced. It is not precisely the bill Senator McConnell would have 
written by himself, nor that I would have written, but I am proud to 
join with Senator McConnell in support of this bill. I appreciate his 
friendship in working with him.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Carnahan). The Senator from Kentucky.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I am indeed shocked to hear that 
Senator Leahy does not make a practice of watching how I vote every 
time so he may be so guided.
  In fact, we have had a good relationship over the years and seen many 
of these issues in like manner, and I commend him for his leadership as 
chairman of the subcommittee. This is a bill that I can 
enthusiastically support, and we anticipate it to pass by a large vote 
sometime tomorrow.
  I thank my good friend from Vermont for his leadership, as I said, in 
crafting this $15.5 billion bill. This is, I think, probably our ninth 
bill together. When we started out, he was chairman and I was ranking 
member. Then I was chairman for a while and he was ranking member. Now 
the roles are reversed again. We have throughout, no matter who was in 
the majority, been able to move in the right direction.
  Obviously the world has changed since we marked up this bill on July 
26. The horror and grief of the September 11 attacks in New York, 
Virginia, and Pennsylvania are still very fresh in our hearts and 
minds. The recent anthrax mailings to Congress and the media are 
further indications of the diabolical nature of America's enemies. Our 
thoughts and prayers are with the many victims of these evil deeds.
  The President and the administration have done a superb job in 
responding to this national crisis, both at home and abroad. In the 
darkest hours of the 21st century the American people have rallied in 
support of the new war against terrorism. This speaks to the strength 
of our Nation and the highest principles upon which it was founded.
  Within 3 days of the September 11 attacks, the Senate passed a $40 
billion emergency supplemental bill to aid in recovery and 
reconstruction efforts. I am pleased that a portion of those funds will 
be used to bolster counterterrorism and other security programs 
conducted by the State Department.
  In addition to the funds contained in the supplemental, the bill now 
before the Senate fully funds the President's $38 million request for 
the State Department's antiterrorism assistance program. These funds 
will be used to provide training, equipment, and advice to foreign 
countries to enhance their antiterrorism skills and to increase the 
capabilities of foreign law enforcement and security officials. Those 
programs are critical to America's national security and those of our 
allies.
  My colleagues should be aware that Senator Leahy and I intend to 
offer an amendment to prohibit assistance to

[[Page 20358]]

any country that harbors or finances those individuals or organizations 
responsible for the mass murder of American citizens on September 11. 
President Bush and Secretary Powell are right to hold those nations who 
aid and abet terrorism responsible for their actions. They have my full 
cooperation and support in this endeavor.
  Let me offer concrete evidence of that support. Senator Feinstein and 
I intended to offer an amendment to this bill requiring the President 
to report on the Palestinian Liberation Organization's compliance with 
its commitments to renounce terrorism and violence. We were asked by 
Secretary Powell, in light of his efforts to forge an international 
coalition against terrorism, to simply not offer that amendment. We 
agreed to withhold the amendment out of respect for this Nation's 
desire and demand for justice for the September 11 murders. The 
administration's request for our foreign policy priorities and needs 
are, for the most part, met through this bill.
  In some accounts, including IMET and the Child Survival and Disease 
Programs Fund, the President's request was exceeded. The bill increases 
the Export Import Bank's subsidy appropriations from the requested 
amount of $633 million to $753 million, and we provide $450 million for 
HIV/AIDS programs and activities.
  My colleagues will note that while we have provided substantial 
funding for counterdrug efforts in the Andean Region, the bill does not 
meet the Administration's $731 million request for the Andean 
Counterdrug Initiative. Not everyone may agree with the $567 million 
the bill provides for this program. However, funds are still in the 
pipeline for social, economic, and judicial programs in Colombia. 
Spillover of the narcotics trade to neighboring countries remains a 
concern. Successful counterdrug and alternative development programs in 
countries such as Bolivia must be continued.
  Funding is also provided to continue vital democracy building 
activities in Asia, including Burma, Indonesia, and East Timor. The 
bill earmarks $10 million for rule of law programs in China, which are 
being successfully conducted by a variety of American academic and 
nongovernmental institutions. I would suggest to my colleagues that 
advancing democracy and the rule of law abroad is essential in the 
fight against terrorism.
  I want to share with my colleagues an observation on U.S. foreign 
policy in the wake of the terrible attacks earlier this month. The very 
nature of our foreign assistance programs and priorities will change as 
America and its allies wage war against the foes of freedom and 
democracy. As one who believes that foreign aid is not an entitlement, 
assistance can--and should--be used as leverage to reward cooperation 
on common objectives, such as identifying and destroying terrorist 
networks. Conversely, nations that refuse to join the fight against 
terrorism should face restrictions on U.S. assistance they receive. As 
President Bush said, ``Every nation in every region now has a decision 
to make: Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.''
  Finally, I want to express my condolences to the family of Ken 
Ludden, Legislative Coordinator to the Office of the Assistant 
Secretary for International Affairs who passed away of a heart attack 
on September 10. Ken will be sorely missed by this subcommittee. Given 
his long and dedicated service to our country in many capacities, I 
have joined Senator Leahy in sponsoring an amendment to designate the 
bill the ``Kenneth M. Ludden Foreign Operations, Export, Financing, and 
Related Programs Appropriations Act.''
  Again, I thank Senator Leahy, and his capable staff--Tim Rieser and 
Mark Lippert--for their leadership on this bill.
  Senator Leahy and I are open for business and fully intend to finish 
this bill at the earliest possible time tomorrow.
  I see the chairman is on his feet, and I yield the floor.
  Mr. LEAHY. Madam President, we have a number of things we can 
probably do in a couple of minutes to go through here.
  I would like to note that there is some promising news from Ireland. 
The International Independent Commission on Decommissioning, led by GEN 
John de Chastelain, of Canada, has announced that the IRA has begun to 
decommission its weapons. The Irish Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, has 
appropriately called this an ``unparalleled breakthrough.'' David 
Trimble, with whom I talked here in Washington a few days ago, has said 
he will recommend to the Ulster Unionist Council that the party reenter 
the Northern Ireland Executive.
  I commend Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness from Sinn Fein for their 
efforts to take this important step. I have been one who has been 
critical of the IRA taking so long to begin to decommission its 
weapons.
  There are justifiable and long-held grievances on both the Protestant 
and Catholic sides in Northern Ireland, and there are generations who 
will never completely forgive or forget. But for the sake of the 
children in Ireland, both in the Republic of Ireland and Northern 
Ireland, they must move forward, and this is a critical step. Peace 
will not be won by assassinations or guns and bullets, whether done by 
Protestants or by Catholics. Peace will only come about if children are 
allowed to grow up in peace so we will not have scenes such as we saw 
just in the opening of school this year of little children, 7- and 8-
year-old girls and boys, running terrified past a mob, screaming at 
them because all they wanted to do was go to school. That cannot 
continue.
  I ask unanimous consent that a number of news items be printed in the 
Record.
  There being no objection, the material ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

         De Chastelain Says IRA Has Begun Decommissioning Arms

                           (By Patrick Logue)

       The International Independent Commission on 
     Decommissioning, led by General John de Chastelain, has said 
     it has witnessed the IRA begin to decommission its arsenal of 
     weapons, including guns, ammunition and explosives.
       ``We are satisfied the arms in question have been dealt 
     with in accordance with the scheme and regulations. We are 
     also satisfied it would not further the process of putting 
     all arms beyond use were we to provide further details of 
     this event.''
       ``We will continue our contact with the IRA representative 
     in the pursuit of our mandate.'' This afternoon the IRA said 
     in a statement that it had begun the process.
       In a statement the IRA said its motivation behind the move 
     on weapons was ``to save the peace process''.
       * * * says: ``The political process is now on the point of 
     collapse. Such a collapse would certainly, and eventually, 
     put the overall peace process in jeopardy.
       ``There is a responsibility upon everyone seriously 
     committed to a just peace to do our best to avoid this.
       ``Therefore, in order to save the peace process, we have 
     implemented the scheme agreed with the IICD in August.
       ``Our motivation is clear. This unprecedented move is to 
     save the peace process and to persuade others of our genuine 
     intentions''.
       In August the IICD said in a statement it had agreed a 
     method for putting arms ``completely and verifiably beyond 
     use''. Details of the method were not made public however.
       The move comes in response to a call yesterday by the Sinn 
     Fein president Mr. Gerry Adams for a ``ground-breaking'' 
     gesture to save the peace process.
       Speaking in West Belfast last night Mr. Adams said: ``We 
     have put to the IRA the view that if it could make a ground-
     breaking move on the arms issue that this could save the 
     peace process from collapse and transform the situation''.
       Sinn Fein this evening welcomed the IRA statement saying it 
     was a courageous initiative to save the peace process''.

                Trimble Hints UUP Will Reenter Executive

                           (By Kilian Doyle)

       The leader of the Ulster Unionists Mr. David Trimble said 
     tonight he would recommend to his party that they reenter the

[[Page 20359]]

     Northern Ireland executive following IRA weapons 
     decommissioning.
       Mr. Trimble was speaking after a meeting with the head of 
     international decommissioning body, General John de 
     Chastelain, where he said he was told the IRA had begun to 
     put its arms beyond use.
       ``This is the day we were told would never happen'', he 
     said. Mr. Trimble said he would attend of meeting of the 
     Ulster Unionists Council later this week, and he would be 
     recommending that they re-enter the Northern Ireland 
     Executive.
       UUP ministers could be back in their offices in Stormont as 
     early as next week, Mr. Trimble said.

                 [From the Irish Times, Oct. 23, 2001]

                Ahern Hails `Unparalleled Breakthrough'

                           (By Kilian Doyle)

       The Taoiseach, Mr. Bertie Ahern, said the IRA statement was 
     an ``unparalleled breakthrough'' that was of ``profound 
     importance'' to the peace process.
       He said the IRA had now done enough to satisfy General de 
     Chastelain, but there was still an ``enormous'' amount of 
     work remaining to be done.
       Mr. Ahern paid tribute to the leaders of the IRA, who he 
     said had made a brave and difficult decision in agreeing to 
     decommission.
       The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Brian Cowen, said the 
     statements from the IRA and the International Commission on 
     decommissioning heralded a new era in the history of Ireland.
       ``That is a moment for political leaders to be responsive 
     and generous. The reaction to decommissioning will be as 
     important as decommissioning itself,'' he said.
       ``It is imperative that politics is made to work and that 
     the nightmarish scenes like those from north Belfast are 
     consigned forever to the pages of history.''
       ``We must harness the new energy that has been released by 
     today's developments and begin a new, dynamic era on this 
     island at all levels, based on partnership, equality and 
     mutual respect.
       ``We simply cannot afford to let this opportunity slip.''
       Mr. Michael Noonan, the leader of Fine Gael, said he 
     believed decommissioning had ``already occurred'' and that 
     General de Chastelain would be confirming that ``before too 
     long''.
       ``What we had was the Good Friday Agreement, there is an 
     opportunity now to make it the Good Friday Settlement.
       ``Now that [decommissioning] has happened, it seems to me 
     that there is no difference in principal between putting some 
     arms beyond use and putting all arms beyond use.''
       Mr. Ruairi Quinn, the leader of the Labour Party, said we 
     are now witnessing events of ``historic proportions.''
       He said all parties must now intensify efforts to overcome 
     the ``distrust and sectarianism that has bedevilled Northern 
     Ireland for so long.''
       There is a particular obligation on the loyalist 
     paramilitaries to honour the statements made that they would 
     follow suit if the IRA started decommissioning.

  Mr. LEAHY. Madam President, as one who, like many here, traces part 
of his ancestry back to that beautiful and often troubled island of 
Ireland, I am happy with this news.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there further debate on the amendments?
  Without objection, the amendments are agreed to.
  The amendments (Nos. 1909 through 1920) were agreed to, en bloc.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I move to reconsider the vote.
  Mr. LEAHY. I move to lay that motion on the table.
  The motion to lay on the table was agreed to.


                     HONORING KENNETH MARTIN LUDDEN

  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, each year, many people assist in the 
creation of the Foreign Operations bill. Besides the efforts of our 
staffs, hundreds of individuals from the Federal Government provide 
information and expertise on the Administration's funding requests. 
Unfortunately, on September 10, we lost one of the people who played a 
very important part of the creation of this bill for a number of years, 
Ken Ludden. Ken worked at the Department of Treasury as their 
Legislative Coordinator to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for 
International Affairs. Ken was a very capable and attentive liaison. 
Not only did he go the extra mile in trying to answer any questions we 
had, but he was so good at his job that he would know which member 
might be more concerned about one issue and provide information before 
staff would request it.
  This was not Ken's first position in Government, in fact he dedicated 
most of his life to public service. He worked for Congressman Edwin 
Forsythe, at the United States Agency for International Development, 
for Senator Lugar on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the 
Department of State and then Treasury. In between his time at the 
Departments of State and Treasury, Ken did spend some time in the 
private sector but then returned to public service to work as a 
congressional liaison. He seemed to genuinely enjoy working with the 
Hill. Like many former staff, Ken never forgot his Hill roots. he 
understood the needs of staff and members and the demands and 
expectations we face from our constituents. Ken also even made bad news 
easy to take--he would not stall or press an unworkable position but 
would work until common ground could be found between the Department 
and Congress.
  In light of his dedicated service to the Committee, Senator Leahy and 
I have offered an amendment in the manager's package that would 
designate the fiscal year 2002 foreign operations bill as the ``Kenneth 
M. Ludden Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, for Fiscal year 2002.'' This is just a small 
gesture to acknowledge our appreciation for a life time of service to 
the American people. On behalf of the Senate, Senator Leahy and I offer 
our deepest condolences to his wife, Mary, and their daughters, and his 
colleagues at the Department. We will miss him.


                       THE WHEELCHAIR FOUNDATION

  Mr. STEVENS. Madam President, I rise today to express my appreciation 
to the Secretary of State, Colin Powell, for his assistance in the 
coming fiscal year to an exceptional organization--the Wheelchair 
Foundation. Since its launch in June 2000, the Wheelchair Foundation 
has delivered over 26,000 wheelchairs to individuals in 74 countries 
and throughout the United States. The World Health Organization 
estimates that some 25 million people around the world are unable to 
walk due to one cause or another. Various country officials and non-
government officials in different countries around the world put the 
number at over 100 million.
  To date, the foundation has been financed by private donations from 
the Kenneth E. Behring Foundation, private individuals, corporations, 
athletic teams and various non-profit organizations. Additionally, 
partnerships exist with the International Red Cross, Project Hope, 
Goodwill Global, Rotary International, Ronald McDonald House Charities, 
and Operations USA, among others. However, the Wheelchair Foundation 
has decided to intensify its efforts by launching a goal of delivering 
1,000,000 wheelchairs to those in need in the next five years. In order 
to take its efforts to this next level, the foundation is seeking a 
public/private partnership with the Federal Government.
  My staff has been working with the Secretary's office to try and 
create a workable partnership. One of the Federal programs we believe 
the Wheelchair Foundation can work with is the Denton Program. The 
Denton Program allows the Department of Defense, through a memorandum 
of understanding with the U.S. Agency for International Development to 
provide space available transportation of humanitarian cargo at little 
or no cost to the donor. The donor must ensure that (1) there is a 
legitimate need for the supplies by the people for whom they are 
intended; (2) that the supplies will in fact be used for humanitarian 
purposes; and (3) that the beneficiaries are capable of using the 
donated commodities safely. I think I can safely say that each of these 
requirements can be easily met by the Wheelchair Foundation. We have 
had notification from Secretary Powell's office that he agrees with 
these sentiments.
  We have also been notified, that, assuming that we provide the 
adequate resources in the foreign operations bill, the Secretary will 
support providing funding to assist the program. The Wheelchair 
Foundation estimates that it will cost $150,000,000 to provide the 
1,000,000 chairs. This approximately $150 per chair. Combined with the 
Denton Program support, any additional financial assistance that the 
Department of State provides would be greatly appreciated.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Senator Stevens, would you pause for a question? This 
program sounds like it has been very successful--but now requires some 
of the Federal Government's global contacts to make that extra step--is 
that correct?
  Mr. STEVENS. Senator McConnell you are exactly right. The efforts by 
the foundation will not only utilize the vast resources of the private 
sector--but combine that with the experience and knowledge of the 
Department of State and the United States Agency for International 
Development. State and USAID each have personnel around the globe who 
are aware of the need for these chairs--from Central America to the 
nations of Africa to the Balkans to South East Asia. We are confident 
that these U.S. personnel can utilize their contacts in each of these 
communities to bring relief to those in need--and in five years--to 
reach one million people.
  Mr. LEAHY. Senator, one more question please? Is there any limitation 
on who may receive these chairs? Are they designated for one group in 
particular?
  Mr. STEVENS. No--one must only show a need--from innocent victims of 
landmines to those with muscular dystrophy--the Wheelchair Foundation 
has a single mission of bringing mobility and independence to those who 
cannot walk.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Senator Leahy, it is clear that Senator Stevens has 
come to us on behalf of an organization worthy of receiving U.S. 
support and I look forward to hearing of the accomplishments they make 
in the coming year.
  Mr. LEAHY. Senator, I concur with your assessment and hope that the 
foundation reaches its goals for the coming year.
  Mr. STEVENS. Thank you both for your support and, again, for the 
support of the Secretary. I look forward to working with you all to 
ensure that this project is a success.


       TREATMENT FOR PRIMARY IMMUNODEFICIENCIES IN LATIN AMERICA

  Mrs. CLINTON. Madam President: I would like to begin by commending my 
friend from Vermont, Senator Leahy, for his tremendous work in putting 
this foreign operations appropriations bill together. I also want to 
applaud the efforts of USAID for its support of child health programs 
over the last 25 years, and, particularly, for intensifying its efforts 
in 1985 with the child survival initiative. Today more than 4 million 
infant and child deaths are prevented annually due to the critical 
life-saving health services provided by USAID and its partners.
  It has been estimated that in Central and South America over one 
million

[[Page 20361]]

children are afflicted with primary immunodeficiency. Individuals with 
undiagnosed primary immunodeficiency are a source of viral and 
bacterial infection. When left undiagnosed and unprotected this 
population harbors serious viruses, bacteria, fungi and deep-seated 
infections. I am aware that an immunology infrastructure is in place in 
several Central and South American countries to conduct early diagnosis 
and treatment. However, funds are needed to further enhance and develop 
appropriate treatment. The Jeffrey Modell Foundation has developed a 
successful model for combating primary immuno-deficiencies in the 
United States and around the world. I am hopeful that USAID, in 
collaboration with the foundation, will consider this model in Latin 
America. The components of this program would include physician 
education and public awareness, prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
  I would be grateful if the chairman would join me in urging USAID to 
consider supporting the establishment of such programs in Latin 
America.
  Mr. LEAHY. I want to thank my good friend from New York for bringing 
this to the Senate's attention. She has been a strong supporter of 
USAID's programs to improve the health of women and children in poor 
countries, and I applaud her for that. I look forward to having the 
benefit of her expertise on these issues, and will certainly encourage 
USAID to consider supporting the initiative she speaks of to combat 
primary immunodeficiencies in Latin America.


           cambodia's ministry of women and veteran's affairs

  Mr. BROWNBACK. The amendment I am offering will allow U.S. assistance 
to support programs and activities conducted by Cambodia's Ministry of 
Women and Veteran's Affairs, and local and international 
nongovernmental organizations to counter human trafficking in the 
Kingdom of Cambodia. The State Department's ``Trafficking in persons 
Report'' dated July 2001 designates Cambodia as a source, destination, 
and transit country for trafficked persons. I offer this amendment with 
the full understanding that the climate of impunity in Cambodia today 
has allowed the trafficking of persons--and other illicit activities--
to flourish. However, the Ministry of Women and Veteran's Affairs has 
demonstrated the political will to address this problem in a meaningful 
way--and to coordinate its work with the NGO community--and I encourage 
the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development 
to support the Ministry's efforts. I yield to my friend from Kentucky 
for a question.
  Mr. McCONNELL. My colleague has given serious thought to this 
amendment, and I commend him for his approach in selectively engaging 
the Cambodian government on issues of importance to the Cambodian 
people and the region. As a point of clarification does the Senator 
intend his amendment to allow the provision of U.S. assistance to any 
other segment of the Cambodian government, with the exception of the 
Ministry of Women and Veteran's Affairs for the sole purpose of 
combating human trafficking?
  Mr. BROWNBACK. No. This amendment would permit U.S. assistance only 
to that Ministry for the sole purpose you mention. It is not my 
intention to subvert Section 560 of the FY 2002 Foreign Operations 
Appropriations bill. I seek only to support the reform efforts of the 
Ministry. It is a tragedy and horror that Cambodians can be abducted 
and sold into some form of slavery for as little as $30. One survey 
found that 68 percent of sex workers in Cambodia had been forced into 
prostitution by outright sale by parents or boyfriends or by being 
lured into brothels with promises of a good job. I thank Senator 
McConnell and Senator Leahy for their interests in helping Cambodia's 
women and children.
  Mr. McCONNELL. I thank the Senator from Kansas for that 
clarification. I also want to note that the democratic opposition in 
Cambodia fully supports this amendment, and I ask that a letter from 
Cambodian Member of Parliament Sam Rainsy be inserted in the record 
following my remarks. I ask that I be added as a cosponsor to this 
amendment.
  Mr. LEAHY. This is an important amendment that will enable the United 
States to support efforts by Cambodia's Ministry of Women and Veteran's 
Affairs to combat human trafficking, which as Senator Brownback has 
noted is a terrible problem in that country. I commend him for his 
commitment to address this problem and ask that I be added as a 
cosponsor as well.
  Madam President, if the distinguished Senator from Kentucky and I 
were to have our way about it, we would go to final passage, but I have 
a feeling there are probably some who may not be in favor of that.
  I don't have anything else.
  Madam President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. LEAHY. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
