       At the end of division A, add the following new title:

      TITLE __--AMERICAN SERVICE- MEMBERS' PROTECTION ACT OF 2001

     SEC. __01. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``American Servicemembers' 
     Protection Act of 2001''.

     SEC. __02. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On July 17, 1998, the United Nations Diplomatic 
     Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Establishment of an 
     International Criminal Court, meeting in Rome, Italy, adopted 
     the ``Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court''. The 
     vote on whether to proceed with the statute was 120 in favor 
     to 7 against, with 21 countries abstaining. The United States 
     voted against final adoption of the Rome Statute.
       (2) As of April 30, 2001, 139 countries had signed the Rome 
     Statute and 30 had ratified it. Pursuant to Article 126 of 
     the Rome Statute, the statute will enter into force on the 
     first day of the month after the 60th day following the date 
     on which the 60th country deposits an instrument ratifying 
     the statute.
       (3) Since adoption of the Rome Statute, a Preparatory 
     Commission for the International Criminal Court has met 
     regularly to draft documents to implement the Rome Statute, 
     including Rules of Procedure and Evidence, Elements of 
     Crimes, and a definition of the Crime of Aggression.
       (4) During testimony before the Congress following the 
     adoption of the Rome Statute, the lead United States 
     negotiator, Ambassador David Scheffer stated that the United 
     States could not sign the Rome Statute because certain 
     critical negotiating objectives of the United States had not 
     been achieved. As a result, he stated: ``We are left with 
     consequences that do not serve the cause of international 
     justice.''
       (5) Ambassador Scheffer went on to tell the Congress that: 
     ``Multinational peacekeeping forces operating in a country 
     that has joined the treaty can be exposed to the Court's 
     jurisdiction even if the country of the individual 
     peacekeeper has not joined the treaty. Thus, the treaty 
     purports to establish an arrangement whereby United States 
     armed forces operating overseas could be conceivably 
     prosecuted by the international court even if the United 
     States has not agreed to be bound by the treaty. Not only is 
     this contrary to the most fundamental principles of treaty 
     law, it could inhibit the ability of the United States to use 
     its military to meet alliance obligations and participate in 
     multinational operations, including humanitarian 
     interventions to save civilian lives. Other contributors to 
     peacekeeping operations will be similarly exposed.''.
       (6) Notwithstanding these concerns, President Clinton 
     directed that the United States sign the Rome Statute on 
     December 31, 2000. In a statement issued that day, he stated 
     that in view of the unremedied deficiencies of the Rome 
     Statute, ``I will not, and do not recommend that my successor 
     submit the Treaty to the Senate for advice and consent until 
     our fundamental concerns are satisfied''.
       (7) Any American prosecuted by the International Criminal 
     Court will, under the Rome Statute, be denied procedural 
     protections to which all Americans are entitled under the 
     Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution, such as the 
     right to trial by jury.
       (8) Members of the Armed Forces of the United States should 
     be free from the risk of prosecution by the International 
     Criminal Court, especially when they are stationed or 
     deployed around the world to protect the vital national 
     interests of the United States. The United States Government 
     has an obligation to protect the members of its Armed Forces, 
     to the maximum extent possible, against criminal prosecutions 
     carried out by the International Criminal Court.
       (9) In addition to exposing members of the Armed Forces of 
     the United States to the risk of international criminal 
     prosecution, the Rome Statute creates a risk that the 
     President and other senior elected and appointed officials of 
     the United States Government may be prosecuted by the 
     International Criminal Court. Particularly if the Preparatory 
     Commission agrees on a definition of the Crime of Aggression 
     over United States objections, senior United States officials 
     may be at risk of criminal prosecution for national security 
     decisions involving such matters as responding to acts of 
     terrorism, preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass 
     destruction, and deterring aggression. No less than members 
     of the Armed Forces of the United States, senior officials of 
     the United States Government should be free from the risk of 
     prosecution by the International Criminal Court, especially 
     with respect to official actions taken by them to protect the 
     national interests of the United States.
       (10) Any agreement within the Preparatory Commission on a 
     definition of the Crime of Aggression that usurps the 
     prerogative of the United Nations Security Council under 
     Article 39 of the charter of the United Nations to 
     ``determine the existence of any . . . . act of aggression'' 
     would contravene the charter of the United Nations and 
     undermine deterrence.
       (11) It is a fundamental principle of international law 
     that a treaty is binding upon its parties only and that it 
     does not create obligations for nonparties without their 
     consent to be bound. The United States is not a party to the 
     Rome Statute and will not be bound by any of its terms. The 
     United States will not recognize the jurisdiction of the 
     International Criminal Court over United States nationals.

     SEC. __03. WAIVER AND TERMINATION OF PROHIBITIONS OF THIS 
                   TITLE.

       (a) Authority To Initially Waive Sections __05 and __07.--
     The President is authorized to waive the prohibitions and 
     requirements of sections __05 and __07 for a single period of 
     one year. A waiver under this subsection may be issued only 
     if the President at least 15 days in advance of exercising 
     such authority--
       (1) notifies the appropriate congressional committees of 
     the intention to exercise such authority; and
       (2) determines and reports to the appropriate congressional 
     committees that the International Criminal Court has entered 
     into a binding agreement that--
       (A) prohibits the International Criminal Court from seeking 
     to exercise jurisdiction over the following persons with 
     respect to actions undertaken by them in an official 
     capacity:
       (i) covered United States persons;
       (ii) covered allied persons; and
       (iii) individuals who were covered United States persons or 
     covered allied persons; and
       (B) ensures that no person described in subparagraph (A) 
     will be arrested, detained, prosecuted, or imprisoned by or 
     on behalf of the International Criminal Court.
       (b) Authority To Extend Waiver of Sections __05 and __07.--
     The President is authorized to waive the prohibitions and 
     requirements of sections __05 and __07 for successive periods 
     of one year each upon the expiration of a previous waiver 
     pursuant to subsection (a) or this subsection. A waiver under 
     this subsection may be issued only if the President at least 
     fifteen days in advance of exercising such authority--
       (1) notifies the appropriate congressional committees of 
     the intention to exercise such authority; and
       (2) determines and reports to the appropriate congressional 
     committees that the International Criminal Court--
       (A) remains party to, and has continued to abide by, a 
     binding agreement that--
       (i) prohibits the International Criminal Court from seeking 
     to exercise jurisdiction over the following persons with 
     respect to actions undertaken by them in an official 
     capacity:

[[Page 24355]]

       (I) covered United States persons;
       (II) covered allied persons; and
       (III) individuals who were covered United States persons or 
     covered allied persons; and

       (ii) ensures that no person described in clause (i) will be 
     arrested, detained, prosecuted, or imprisoned by or on behalf 
     of the International Criminal Court; and
       (B) has taken no steps to arrest, detain, prosecute, or 
     imprison any person described in clause (i) of subparagraph 
     (A).
       (c) Authority To Waive Sections __04 and __06 With Respect 
     to an Investigation or Prosecution of a Named Individual.--
     The President is authorized to waive the prohibitions and 
     requirements of sections __04 and __06 to the degree such 
     prohibitions and requirements would prevent United States 
     cooperation with an investigation or prosecution of a named 
     individual by the International Criminal Court. A waiver 
     under this subsection may be issued only if the President at 
     least 15 days in advance of exercising such authority--
       (1) notifies the appropriate congressional committees of 
     the intention to exercise such authority; and
       (2) determines and reports to the appropriate congressional 
     committees that--
       (A) a waiver pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of the 
     prohibitions and requirements of sections __05 and __07 is in 
     effect;
       (B) there is reason to believe that the named individual 
     committed the crime or crimes that are the subject of the 
     International Criminal Court's investigation or prosecution;
       (C) it is in the national interest of the United States for 
     the International Criminal Court's investigation or 
     prosecution of the named individual to proceed; and
       (D) in investigating events related to actions by the named 
     individual, none of the following persons will be 
     investigated, arrested, detained, prosecuted, or imprisoned 
     by or on behalf of the International Criminal Court with 
     respect to actions undertaken by them in an official 
     capacity:
       (i) Covered United States persons.
       (ii) Covered allied persons.
       (iii) Individuals who were covered United States persons or 
     covered allied persons.
       (d) Termination of Waiver Pursuant to Subsection (c).--Any 
     waiver or waivers exercised pursuant to subsection (c) of the 
     prohibitions and requirements of sections __04 and __06 shall 
     terminate at any time that a waiver pursuant to subsection 
     (a) or (b) of the prohibitions and requirements of sections 
     __05 and __07 expires and is not extended pursuant to 
     subsection (b).
       (e) Termination of Prohibitions of This Title.--The 
     prohibitions and requirements of sections __04, __05, __06, 
     and __07 shall cease to apply, and the authority of section 
     __08 shall terminate, if the United States becomes a party to 
     the International Criminal Court pursuant to a treaty made 
     under article II, section 2, clause 2 of the Constitution of 
     the United States.

     SEC. __04. PROHIBITION ON COOPERATION WITH THE INTERNATIONAL 
                   CRIMINAL COURT.

       (a) Application.--The provisions of this section--
       (1) apply only to cooperation with the International

     enactment of this Act to investigate and prosecute war crimes 
     committed in a specific country or during a specific 
     conflict; and
       (2) shall not prohibit--
       (A) any action permitted under section __08; or
       (B) communication by the United States of its policy with 
     respect to a matter.
       (b) Prohibition on Responding to Requests for 
     Cooperation.--Notwithstanding section 1782 of title 28, 
     United States Code, or any other provision of law, no United 
     States Court, and no agency or entity of any State or local

     International Criminal Court in response to a request for 
     cooperation submitted by the International Criminal Court 
     pursuant to the Rome Statute.
       (c) Prohibition on Transmittal of Letters Rogatory From the

       (e) Prohibition on Provision of Support to the

     of any United States citizen or permanent resident alien by 
     the International Criminal Court.
       (g) Restriction on Assistance Pursuant to Mutual Legal

     rights to limit the use of assistance provided under all 
     treaties and executive agreements for mutual legal assistance 
     in criminal matters, multilateral conventions with legal 
     assistance provisions, and extradition treaties, to which the 
     United States is a party, and in connection with the 
     execution or issuance of any letter rogatory, to prevent the 
     transfer to, or other use by, the International Criminal 
     Court of any assistance provided by the United States under 
     such treaties and letters rogatory.
       (h) Prohibition on Investigative Activities of Agents.--No

     proceeding at the International Criminal Court.

     SEC. __05. RESTRICTION ON UNITED STATES PARTICIPATION IN 
                   CERTAIN UNITED NATIONS PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS.

       (a) Policy.--Effective beginning on the date on which the 
     Rome Statute enters into force pursuant to Article 126 of the 
     Rome Statute, the President should use the voice and vote of 
     the United States in the United Nations Security Council to 
     ensure that each resolution of the Security Council 
     authorizing any peacekeeping operation under chapter VI of 
     the charter of the United Nations or peace enforcement 
     operation under chapter VII of the charter of the United 
     Nations permanently exempts, at a minimum, members of the 
     Armed Forces of the United States participating in such 
     operation from criminal prosecution or other assertion of 
     jurisdiction by the International Criminal Court for actions 
     undertaken by such personnel in connection with the 
     operation.
       (b) Restriction.--Members of the Armed Forces of the United 
     States may not participate in any peacekeeping operation 
     under chapter VI of the charter of the United Nations or 
     peace enforcement operation under chapter VII of the charter 
     of the United Nations, the creation of which is authorized by 
     the United Nations Security Council on or after the date that 
     the Rome Statute enters into effect pursuant to Article 126 
     of the Rome Statute, unless the President has submitted to 
     the appropriate congressional committees a certification 
     described in subsection (c) with respect to such operation.
       (c) Certification.--The certification referred to in 
     subsection (b) is a certification by the President that--
       (1) members of the Armed Forces of the United States are 
     able to participate in the peacekeeping or peace enforcement 
     operation without risk of criminal prosecution or other 
     assertion of jurisdiction by the International Criminal Court 
     because, in authorizing the operation, the United Nations 
     Security Council permanently exempted, at a minimum, members 
     of the Armed Forces of the United States participating in the 
     operation from criminal prosecution or other assertion of 
     jurisdiction by the International Criminal Court for actions 
     undertaken by them in connection with the operation;
       (2) members of the Armed Forces of the United States are 
     able to participate in the peacekeeping or peace enforcement 
     operation without risk of criminal prosecution or other 
     assertion of jurisdiction by the International Criminal Court 
     because each country in which members of the Armed Forces of 
     the United States participating in the operation will be 
     present either is not a party to the International Criminal 
     Court and has not invoked the jurisdiction of the 
     International Criminal Court pursuant to Article 12 of the 
     Rome Statute, or has entered into an agreement in accordance 
     with Article 98 of the Rome Statute preventing the 
     International Criminal Court from proceeding against members 
     of the Armed Forces of the United States present in that 
     country; or
       (3) the national interests of the United States justify 
     participation by members of the Armed Forces of the United 
     States in the peacekeeping or peace enforcement operation.

     SEC. __06. PROHIBITION ON DIRECT OR INDIRECT TRANSFER OF 
                   CLASSIFIED NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION AND 
                   LAW ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION TO THE 
                   INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.

       (a) In General.--Not later than the date on which the Rome 
     Statute enters into force, the President shall ensure that 
     appropriate procedures are in place to prevent the transfer 
     of classified national security information and law 
     enforcement information to the International Criminal Court 
     for the purpose of facilitating an investigation, 
     apprehension, or prosecution.
       (b) Indirect Transfer.--The procedures adopted pursuant to 
     subsection (a) shall be

[[Page 24356]]

     designed to prevent the transfer to the United Nations and to 
     the government of any country that is party to the

     SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.

       For purposes of this Act:
       (1) The term ``homeless veteran'' has the meaning given 
     such term in section 2002 of title 38, United States Code, as 
     added by section 5(a)(1).
       (2) The term ``grant and per diem provider'' means an 
     entity in receipt of a grant under section 2011 or 2012 of 
     title 38, United States Code, as so added.

     SEC. 3. NATIONAL GOAL TO END HOMELESSNESS AMONG VETERANS.

       (a) National Goal.--Congress hereby declares it to be a 
     national goal to end chronic homelessness among veterans 
     within a decade of the enactment of this Act.
       (b) Cooperative Efforts Encouraged.--Congress hereby 
     encourages all departments and agencies of Federal, State, 
     and local governments, quasi-governmental organizations, 
     private and public sector entities, including community-based 
     organizations, faith-based organizations, and individuals to 
     work cooperatively to end chronic homelessness among veterans 
     within a decade.

     SEC. 4. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE NEEDS OF HOMELESS 
                   VETERANS AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF FEDERAL 
                   AGENCIES.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) homelessness is a significant problem in the veterans 
     community and veterans are disproportionately represented 
     among homeless men;
       (2) while many effective programs assist homeless veterans 
     to again become productive and self-sufficient members of 
     society, current resources provided to such programs and 
     other activities that assist homeless veterans are inadequate 
     to provide all needed essential services, assistance, and 
     support to homeless veterans;
       (3) the most effective programs for the assistance of 
     homeless veterans should be identified and expanded;
       (4) federally funded programs for homeless veterans should 
     be held accountable for achieving clearly defined results;
       (5) Federal efforts to assist homeless veterans should 
     include prevention of homelessness; and
       (6) Federal agencies, particularly the Department of 
     Veterans Affairs, the Department of Housing and Urban 
     Development, and the Department of Labor, should cooperate 
     more fully to address the problem of homelessness among 
     veterans.

                   RELATING TO HOMELESS VETERANS.
