lie on the table; as follows:

       On page 147, between lines 6 and 7, insert the following 
     new section:
       Sec. 692. (a) Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) International organizations and non-governmental 
     observers, including the Organization for Security and 
     Cooperation in Europe, the National Democratic Institute, and 
     Human Rights Watch documented widespread government 
     manipulation of the electoral process in advance of the 
     Presidential election held in Azerbaijan on October 15, 2003.
       (2) Such organizations and the Department of State reported 
     widespread vote falsification during the election, including 
     ballot stuffing, fraudulent additions to voter lists, and 
     irregularities with vote tallies and found that election 
     commission members from opposition parties were bullied into 
     signing falsified vote tallies.
       (3) The Department of State issued a statement on October 
     21, 2003 concluding that the irregularities that occurred 
     during the elections ``cast doubt on the credibility of the 
     election's results''.
       (4) Human Rights Watch reported that government forces in 
     Azerbaijan used excessive force against demonstrators 
     protesting election fraud and that such force resulted in at 
     least one death and injuries to more than 300 individuals.
       (5) Following the elections, the Government of Azerbaijan 
     arrested more than 330 individuals, many of whom are leaders 
     and rank-and-file members of opposition parties in 
     Azerbaijan, including individuals who served as observers and 
     polling-station officials who refused to sign vote tallies 
     from polling stations that the individuals believed were 
     fraudulent.
       (6) The national interest of the United States in promoting 
     stability in the Caucasus and Central Asia and in winning the 
     war on terrorism is best protected by maintaining 
     relationships with democracies committed to the rule of law.
       (7) The credible reports of fraud and intimidation cast 
     serious doubt on the legitimacy of the October 15, 2003 
     Presidential election in Azerbaijan and on the victory of 
     Ilham Aliev in such election.
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the President and the Secretary of State should urge 
     the Government of Azerbaijan to create an independent 
     commission, with participation from the Organization for 
     Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Council of Europe, 
     to investigate the fraud and intimidation surrounding the 
     October 15, 2003 election in Azerbaijan, and to hold a new 
     election if such a commission finds that a new election is 
     warranted;
       (2) the violence that followed the election should be 
     condemned and should be investigated in a full and impartial 
     investigation;
       (3) the perpetrators of criminal acts related to the 
     election, including Azerbaijani police, should be held 
     accountable; and
       (4) the Government of Azerbaijan should immediately release 
     from detention all members of opposition political parties 
     who were arrested for peacefully expressing political 
     opinions.
       (c) Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the 
     Attorney General, shall submit a report to the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations and the Committee on Appropriations of the 
     Senate and the Committee on International Relations and the 
     Committee of Appropriations of the House of Representatives 
     on the investigation of the murder of United States democracy 
     worker John Alvis. Such report shall include--
       (1) a description of the steps taken by the Government of 
     Azerbaijan to further such investigation and bring to justice 
     those responsible for the murder of John Alvis;
       (2) a description of the actions of the Government of 
     Azerbaijan to cooperate with United States agencies involved 
     in such investigation; and
       (3) any recommendations of the Secretary for furthering 
     progress of such investigation.
                                 ______

     articulated in President George W. Bush's speech of June 24, 
     2002, regarding the criteria for recognizing a Palestinian 
     state. Congress reiterates the President's statement that the

     the Palestinians elect new leadership that--
       (1) is not compromised by terrorism;
       (2) demonstrates, over time, a firm and tangible commitment 
     to peaceful co-existence with the State of Israel and an end

     SEC. 1811. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO INTERNATIONAL AND 
                   ECONOMIC SUPPORT FOR A SUCCESSOR REGIME IN 
                   IRAQ.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) A peaceful and prosperous Iraq will benefit the entire 
     international community.
       (2) Winning the peace in Iraq will require the support of 
     the international community, including the assistance of the 
     United Nations and the specialized agencies of the United 
     Nations.
       (3) While Iraq's long-term economic prospects are good, the 
     short-term economic situation will be difficult.
       (4) Iraq has an estimated $61,000,000,000 in foreign debt, 
     approximately $200,000,000,000 in pending reparations claims 
     through the United National Compensation Commission, and an 
     unknown amount of potential liability for terrorism-related 
     claims brought in United States courts.
       (5) The revenue from the export of oil from Iraq is 
     projected to be less than $15,000,000,000 each year for the 
     years 2004, 2005, and 2006.
       (b) Sense of Congress on a Successor Regime in Iraq.--It is 
     the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the President should be commended for seeking the 
     support of the international community to build a stable and 
     secure Iraq;
       (2) the President's position that the oil resources of 
     Iraq, and the revenues derived therefrom, are the sovereign 
     possessions of the people of Iraq should be supported; and
       (3) the President should pursue measures, in cooperation 
     with other nations, to protect an interim or successor regime 
     in Iraq, to the maximum extent possible, from the negative 
     economic implications of indebtedness incurred by the regime 
     of Saddam Hussein, and to assist in developing a resolution 
     of all outstanding claims against Iraq.

     SEC. 1812. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO MAGEN DAVID ADOM 
                   SOCIETY.

       It is the sense of Congress that, in light of the findings 
     of fact set out in section 690(a) of the Foreign Relations 
     Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-228; 116 
     Stat. 1414) and the fact that the Federation of Red Cross and 
     Red Crescent Societies has not granted full membership to the 
     Magen David Adom Society, the United States should continue 
     to press for full membership for the Magen David Adom Society 
     in the International Red Cross Movement.

     SEC. 1813. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CLIMATE CHANGE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Evidence continues to build that increases in 
     atmospheric concentrations of man-made greenhouse gases are 
     contributing to global climate change.
       (2) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 
     has concluded that ``there is new and stronger evidence that 
     most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is 
     attributable to human activities'' and that the average 
     temperature on Earth can be expected to rise between 2.5 and 
     10.4 degrees Fahrenheit in this century.
       (3) The National Academy of Sciences confirmed the findings 
     of the IPCC, stating that ``the IPCC's conclusion that most 
     of the observed warming of the last 50 years is likely to 
     have been due to the increase of greenhouse gas 
     concentrations accurately reflects the current thinking of 
     the scientific community on this issue'' and that ``there is 
     general agreement that the observed warming is real and 
     particularly strong within the past twenty years''. The 
     National Academy of Sciences also noted that ``because there 
     is considerable uncertainty in current understanding of how 
     the climate system varies naturally and reacts to emissions 
     of greenhouse gases and aerosols, current estimates of the 
     magnitude of future warming should be regarded as tentative 
     and subject to future adjustments upward or downward''.
       (4) The IPCC has stated that in the last 40 years the 
     global average sea level has risen, ocean heat content has 
     increased, and snow cover and ice extent have decreased, 
     which threatens to inundate low-lying island nations and 
     coastal regions throughout the world.
       (5) In October 2000, a United States Government report 
     found that global climate change may harm the United States 
     by altering crop yields, accelerating sea-level rise, and 
     increasing the spread of tropical infectious diseases.
       (6) In 1992, the United States ratified the United Nations 
     Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the ultimate 
     objective of which is the ``stabilization of greenhouse gas 
     concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would 
     prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate 
     system. Such a level should be achieved within a time-frame 
     sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate 
     change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and 
     to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable 
     manner''.
       (7) The UNFCCC stated in part that the Parties to the 
     Convention are to implement policies ``with the aim of 
     returning . . . to their 1990 levels anthropogenic emissions 
     of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases'' under the 
     principle that ``policies and measures . . . should be 
     appropriate for the specific conditions of each Party and 
     should be integrated with national development programmes, 
     taking into account that economic development is essential 
     for adopting measures to address climate change''.
       (8) There is a shared international responsibility to 
     address this problem, as industrial nations are the largest 
     historic and current emitters of greenhouse gases, and 
     developing nations' emissions will significantly increase in 
     the future.
       (9) The UNFCCC further stated that ``developed country 
     Parties should take the lead in combating climate change and 
     the adverse effects thereof'', as these nations are the 
     largest historic and current emitters of greenhouse gases. 
     The UNFCCC also stated that ``steps required to understand 
     and address climate change will be environmentally, socially 
     and economically most effective if they are based on relevant 
     scientific, technical and economic considerations and 
     continually re-evaluated in the light of new findings in 
     these areas''.

[[Page 25794]]

       (10) Senate Resolution 98 of the One Hundred Fifth 
     Congress, which expressed that developing nations must also 
     be included in any future, binding climate change treaty and 
     such a treaty must not result in serious harm to the United 
     States economy, should not cause the United States to abandon 
     its shared responsibility to help reduce the risks of climate 
     change and its impacts. Future international efforts in this 
     regard should focus on recognizing the equitable 
     responsibilities for addressing climate change by all 
     nations, including commitments by the largest developing 
     country emitters in a future, binding climate change treaty.
       (11) While the United States has elected not to become a 
     party to the Kyoto Protocol at this time, it is the position 
     of the United States that it will not interfere with the 
     plans of any nation that chooses to ratify and implement the 
     Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC.
       (12) American businesses need to know how governments 
     worldwide will address the risks of climate change.
       (13) The United States benefits from investments in the 
     research, development, and deployment of a range of clean 
     energy and efficiency technologies that can reduce the risks 
     of climate change and its impacts and that can make the 
     United States economy more productive, bolster energy 
     security, create jobs, and protect the environment.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the United States should demonstrate international leadership 
     and responsibility in reducing the health, environmental, and 
     economic risks posed by climate change by--
       (1) taking responsible action to ensure significant and 
     meaningful reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases from 
     all sectors;
       (2) creating flexible international and domestic 
     mechanisms, including joint implementation, technology 
     deployment, tradable credits for emissions reductions and 
     carbon sequestration projects that will reduce, avoid, and 
     sequester greenhouse gas emissions;
       (3) participating in international negotiations, including 
     putting forth a proposal to the Conference of the Parties, 
     with the objective of securing United States participation in 
     a future binding climate change Treaty in a manner that is 
     consistent with the environmental objectives of the UNFCCC, 
     that protects the economic interests of the United States, 
     and that recognizes the shared international responsibility 
     for addressing climate change, including developing country 
     participation; and
       (4) establishing a bipartisan Senate observer group 
     designated by the chairman and ranking member of the 
     Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, to monitor any 
     international negotiations on climate change, to ensure that 
     the advice and consent function of the Senate is exercised in 
     a manner so as to facilitate timely consideration of any new 
     treaty submitted to the Senate.

     SEC. 1814. EXTENSION OF AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATION FOR

     SEC. 1815. JUSTICE FOR UNITED STATES MARINES ACT.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the 
     ``Justice for United States Marines Act''.
       (b) Amendment.--Section 1404C(a)(3) of the Victims of Crime 
     Act of 1984 (42 U.S.C. 10603c(a)(3)) is amended by striking 
     ``December 21, 1988, with respect to which an investigation 
     or'' and inserting ``October 23, 1983, with respect to which 
     an investigation or civil or criminal''.

     section 207 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
     1157), or for asylum under section 208 of such Act (8 U.S.C. 
     1158), a national of the Democratic People's Republic of 
     Korea shall not be considered a national of the Republic of 
     Korea.

     SEC. 1817. GLOBAL DEMOCRACY PROMOTION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) It is a fundamental principle of American medical 
     ethics and practice that health care providers should, at all 
     times, deal honestly and openly with patients. Any attempt to 
     subvert the private and sensitive physician-patient 
     relationship would be intolerable in the United States and is 
     an unjustifiable intrusion into the practices of health care 
     providers when attempted in other countries.
       (2) Freedom of speech is a fundamental American value. The 
     ability to exercise the right to free speech, which includes 
     the ``right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to 
     petition the government for a redress of grievances'' is 
     essential to a thriving democracy and is protected under the 
     United States Constitution.
       (3) The promotion of democracy is a principal goal of 
     United States foreign policy and critical to achieving 
     sustainable development. It is enhanced through the 
     encouragement of democratic institutions and the promotion of 
     an independent and politically active civil society in 
     developing countries.
       (4) Limiting eligibility for United States development and 
     humanitarian assistance upon the willingness of a foreign 
     nongovernmental organization to forgo its right to use its 
     own funds to address, within the democratic process, a 
     particular issue affecting the citizens of its own country 
     directly undermines a key goal of United States foreign 
     policy and would violate the United States Constitution if 
     applied to United States-based organizations.
       (5) Similarly, limiting the eligibility for United States 
     assistance on a foreign nongovernmental organization's 
     willingness to forgo its right to provide, with its own 
     funds, medical services that are legal in its own country and 
     would be legal if provided in the United States constitutes 
     unjustifiable interference with the ability of independent 
     organizations to serve the critical health needs of their 
     fellow citizens and demonstrates a disregard and disrespect 
     for the laws of sovereign nations as well as for the laws of 
     the United States.
       (b) Assistance for Foreign Nongovernmental Organizations 
     Under Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of law, regulation, or 
     policy, in determining eligibility for assistance authorized 
     under part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 
     2151 et seq.), foreign nongovernmental organizations--
       (1) shall not be ineligible for such assistance solely on 
     the basis of health or medical services including counseling 
     and referral services, provided by such organizations with 
     non-United States Government funds if such services do not 
     violate the laws of the country in which they are being 
     provided and would not violate United States Federal law if 
     provided in the United States; and
       (2) shall not be subject to requirements relating to the 
     use of non-United States Government funds for advocacy and 
     lobbying activities other than those that apply to United 
     States nongovernmental organizations receiving assistance 
     under part I of such Act.

     SEC. 1818. SUPPORT FOR DEMOCRACY REFORM IN IRAN.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Iran is neither free nor democratic. Men and women are 
     not treated equally in Iran, women are legally deprived of 
     internationally recognized human rights, and religious 
     freedom is not respected under the laws of Iran. Undemocratic 
     institutions, such as the Guardians Council, thwart the 
     decisions of elected leaders.
       (2) The April 2003 report of the Department of State states 
     that Iran remained the most active state sponsor of terrorism 
     in 2002.
       (3) That report also states that Iran continues to provide 
     funding, safe-haven, training, and weapons to known terrorist 
     groups, notably Hizballah, HAMAS, the Palestine Islamic 
     Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
       (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States that--
       (1) currently, there is not a free and fully democratic 
     government in Iran;
       (2) the United States supports transparent, full democracy 
     in Iran;
       (3) the United States supports the rights of the Iranian 
     people to choose their system of government; and
       (4) the United States condemns the brutal treatment, 
     imprisonment, and torture of Iranian civilians expressing 
     political dissent.

     SEC. 1819. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO VIOLENCE AGAINST 
                   WOMEN.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Article 4 of the Declaration on the Elimination of 
     Violence Against Women adopted by the United Nations General 
     Assembly in Resolution 48/104 on December 20, 1993, proclaims 
     that ``States should condemn violence against women and 
     should not invoke any custom, tradition or religious 
     consideration to avoid their obligations with respect to its 
     elimination.''.
       (2) Paragraph 124 of chapter IV of the Platform for Action, 
     which was adopted along with the Beijing Declaration by the 
     Fourth World Conference on Women on September 15, 1995, 
     states that actions to be taken by governments include 
     condemning violence against women and refraining from 
     invoking any custom, tradition, or religious consideration as 
     a means to avoid the obligations of such governments with 
     respect to the elimination of violence against women as such 
     obligations are referred to in the Declaration on the 
     Elimination of Violence against Women.
       (3) The United States has supported the Declaration on the 
     Elimination of Violence Against Women and the Beijing 
     Declaration and Platform for Action.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the United States should continue to condemn violence against 
     women and should urge states to refrain from invoking any 
     custom, tradition, or practices in the name of religion or 
     culture as a means to avoid obligations regarding the 
     elimination of violence against women as referred to in 
     Article 4 of the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence 
     Against Women.

     SEC. 1826. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON FUNDING FOR COMBATTING AIDS 
                   GLOBALLY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) With the President's support, Congress overwhelmingly 
     and expeditiously approved the United States Leadership 
     Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003 
     (Public Law 108-25; 22 U.S.C. 7601 et seq.), indicating the 
     gravity with which Congress considers the pandemic of HIV and 
     AIDS infection.
       (2) The Act, which was supported and signed into law by the 
     President, authorized the appropriation of a total 
     $15,000,000,000 for fiscal years 2004 through 2008. 
     Specifically, the Act authorized $3,000,000,000 to be 
     appropriated in fiscal year 2004 for HIV/AIDS and related 
     programs, of which up to $1,000,000,000 was authorized to be 
     made available for the United States contributions to the 
     Global Fund.
       (3) In contrast to the amounts authorized to be 
     appropriated in the Act, the President's budget for fiscal 
     year 2004, includes only $1,900,000,000 for HIV/AIDS and 
     related programs, of which only $200,000,000 is for the 
     United States contribution to the Global Fund.
       (4) Approximately 5,000 people contract HIV each day.
       (5) In Africa, more than 17,000,000 people have died from 
     AIDS, another 28,000,000 are infected with HIV, including 
     1,500,000 infected children, and 11,000,000 children have 
     been orphaned by AIDS.
       (6) The United Nations Development Programme Annual Report 
     for 2003 states, ``HIV/AIDS is a catastrophe for economic 
     stability [and] may be the world's most serious development 
     crisis.''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     Congress, when considering appropriations Acts for fiscal 
     year 2004, should fully appropriate all the amounts 
     authorized for appropriation in the Act, even to the extent 
     that appropriating such amounts will require Congress to 
     appropriate amounts over and above the funding levels 
     contained in the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2004 (H. Con. Res. 95, 108th Congress, 1st 
     session).
       (c) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Act.--The term ``Act'' means the United States

     public-private partnership known as the Global Fund to Fight

     SEC. 1831. SENSE OF SENATE ON EXECUTIVE BRANCH COOPERATION 
                   WITH THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON TERRORIST 
                   ATTACKS UPON THE UNITED STATES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) On November 15, 2002, Congress passed legislation by a 
     wide bipartisan margin to establish the National Commission 
     on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States to determine the 
     facts surrounding the attacks of September 11, 2001, and to 
     help the Nation prevent any future terrorist attacks. On 
     November 27, 2002, President Bush signed the legislation into 
     law as title VI of the Intelligence Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-306; 116 Stat. 2408; 6 
     U.S.C. 101 note).
       (2) There was broad bipartisan consensus that the work of 
     the Commission was of national importance and of particular 
     significance to the families of the victims of the attacks of 
     September 11, 2001.
       (3) The work of the Commission is essential to discovering 
     what weaknesses and vulnerabilities were exploited to 
     successfully perpetrate the deadly attacks of September 11, 
     2001.
       (4) The Commission is required to ``ascertain, evaluate, 
     and report on the evidence developed by all relevant 
     governmental agencies regarding the facts and circumstances 
     surrounding the attacks'' and to complete its work by May, 
     2004.
       (5) Both the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Commission 
     have recently announced that many of the relevant agencies--
     most notably the Department of Defense, the Department of 
     Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Central 
     Intelligence Agency--have failed to provide the bulk of the 
     documents the Commission has requested and some of those 
     agencies have prevented the Commission from conducting 
     independent interviews with officials who may have important 
     information about the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
       (6) Members of the Commission have also acknowledged that 
     if this cooperation is not forthcoming in the next several 
     weeks, the Commission will not be able to meet the May 2004 
     statutory deadline to conclude its investigation and report 
     its findings to Congress and the President.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) President Bush should immediately and publicly require 
     all executive branch agencies, especially the Department of 
     Defense, the Department of Justice, the Department of 
     Homeland Security, and the Central Intelligence Agency, to 
     provide their fullest and most timely cooperation to the 
     Commission, and permit the Commission unfettered access to 
     agency officials for interviews, so that the Commission can 
     complete its mission in the time allotted by law;
       (2) The Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, 
     the Department of Homeland Security, and the Central 
     Intelligence Agency should submit to Congress by August 15, 
     2003, and quarterly thereafter for the life of the 
     Commission, a report on the actions taken by each such 
     department or agency to comply with the requests of the 
     Commission; and
       (3) the Commission should submit to Congress and the 
     President, by August 15, 2003, and quarterly thereafter, a 
     report assessing the compliance of each department and agency 
     referred to in paragraph (2) with the requests of the 
     Commission.

     SEC. 1832. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON AN INVESTIGATION INTO 
                   ASSERTIONS THAT IRAQ ATTEMPTED TO OBTAIN 
                   URANIUM FROM AFRICA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In the State of the Union address in January 2003, the 
     President asserted that ``[t]he British government has 
     learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant 
     quantities of uranium from Africa''.
       (2) It has been determined that the claim regarding the 
     efforts of Iraq to obtain uranium from Africa cannot be 
     substantiated.
       (3) In May 2003, the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the 
     Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate requested that 
     the Inspector General of the Department and the Inspector 
     General of the Central Intelligence Agency work jointly to 
     investigate the handling and characterization of the 
     underlying documents behind the assertions regarding the 
     efforts of Iraq to obtain uranium from Africa.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) Congress supports the thorough and expeditious joint 
     investigation by the Inspector General of the Department and 
     the Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency into 
     the documents or other materials that the President relied on 
     to conclude that Iraq had attempted to obtain uranium from 
     Africa;
       (2) the findings and conclusions of the joint investigation 
     should be completed not later than September 12, 2003;
       (3) such findings and conclusions should be unclassified to 
     the maximum extent possible, while fully protecting any 
     intelligence sources or methods; and
       (4) such findings and conclusions should be sent to the 
     Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate, the Permanent 
     Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of 
     Representatives, and the appropriate congressional 
     committees.

     SEC. 1833. REPORT ON THE INTERNATIONAL COFFEE CRISIS.

       Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary, in consultation with the 
     Administrator of the United States Agency for International

          TITLE XIX--PEACE CORPS CHARTER FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

     SEC. 1901. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Peace Corps Charter for 
     the 21st Century Act''.

     SEC. 1902. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Peace Corps was established in 1961 to promote 
     world peace and friendship through the service of United 
     States volunteers abroad.
       (2) The Peace Corps has sought to fulfill three goals, as 
     follows:
       (A) To help people in developing nations meet basic needs.
       (B) To promote understanding of America's values and ideals 
     abroad.
       (C) To promote an understanding of other peoples by 
     Americans.
       (3) The three goals, which are codified in the Peace Corps 
     Act, have guided the Peace Corps and its volunteers over the 
     years, and worked in concert to promote global acceptance of 
     the principles of international peace and nonviolent 
     coexistence among peoples of diverse cultures and systems of 
     government.
       (4) Since its establishment, approximately 165,000 Peace 
     Corps volunteers have served in 135 countries.
       (5) After more than 40 years of operation, the Peace Corps 
     remains the world's premier international service 
     organization dedicated to promoting grassroots development.
       (6) The Peace Corps remains committed to sending well 
     trained and well supported Peace Corps volunteers overseas to 
     promote peace, friendship, and international understanding.
       (7) The Peace Corps is currently operating with an annual 
     budget of $275,000,000 in 70 countries with 7,000 Peace Corps 
     volunteers.

[[Page 25797]]

       (8) The Peace Corps is an independent agency, and therefore 
     no Peace Corps personnel or volunteers should be used to 
     accomplish any goal other than the goals established by the 
     Peace Corps Act.
       (9) The Crisis Corps has been an effective tool in 
     harnessing the skills and talents for returned Peace Corps 
     volunteers and should be expanded to utilize to the maximum 
     extent the talent pool of returned Peace Corps volunteers.
       (10) There is deep misunderstanding and misinformation 
     about American values and ideals in many parts of the world, 
     particularly those with substantial Muslim populations, and a 
     greater Peace Corps presence in such places could foster 
     greater understanding and tolerance.
       (11) Congress has declared that the Peace Corps should be 
     expanded to sponsor a minimum of 10,000 Peace Corps 
     volunteers.
       (12) President George W. Bush has called for the doubling 
     of the number of Peace Corps volunteers in service.
       (13) Any expansion of the Peace Corps must not jeopardize 
     the quality of the Peace Corps volunteer experience, and 
     therefore can only be accomplished by an appropriate increase 
     in field and headquarters support staff.
       (14) In order to ensure that proposed expansion of the 
     Peace Corps preserves the integrity of the program and the 
     security of volunteers, the integrated Planning and Budget 
     System supported by the Office of Planning and Policy 
     Analysis should continue its focus on strategic planning.
       (15) A streamlined, bipartisan National Peace Corps 
     Advisory Council composed of distinguished returned Peace 
     Corps volunteers and other individuals, with diverse 
     backgrounds and expertise, can be a source of ideas and 
     suggestions that may be useful to the Director of the Peace 
     Corps in discharging the Director's duties and 
     responsibilities.

       ``(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       ``(1) Developing countries often have large reserves of 
     privately held capital that are not being adequately 
     mobilized and invested due to weak financial institutions and 
     other market imperfections in such countries.
       ``(2) Partial loan guarantees, particularly when used as an 
     integral part of a development strategy, are useful to 
     leverage local private capital for development while 
     reforming and strengthening developing country financial 
     markets.
       ``(3) Requiring risk-sharing guarantees and limiting 
     guarantee assistance to private lenders encourages such 
     lenders to provide appropriate oversight and management of 
     development projects funded with loans made by such lenders 
     and, thereby, maximize the benefit which such projects will 
     achieve.
       ``(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to 
     make partial loan guarantees available to private lenders to 
     fund development projects in developing countries that 
     encourage such lenders to provide appropriate oversight and 
     management of such development projects.
       ``(c) Authority.--To carry out the policy set forth in 
     subsection (b), the President is authorized to provide 
     assistance in the form of loans and partial loan guarantees 
     to private lenders in developing countries to achieve the 
     economic development purposes of the provisions of this part.
       ``(d) Priority for Assistance.--The President, in providing 
     assistance under this section, shall give priority to 
     providing partial loan guarantees made pursuant to the 
     authority in subsection (c) that are used in transactions in 
     which the financial risk of loss to the United States 
     Government under such guarantee does not exceed the financial 
     risk of loss of the private lender that receives such 
     guarantee.
       ``(e) Terms and Conditions.--Assistance provided under this 
     section shall be provided on such terms and conditions as the 
     President determines appropriate.
       ``(f) Obligations of the United States.--A partial loan 
     guarantee made under subsection (c) shall constitute an 
     obligation, in accordance with the terms of such guarantee, 
     of the United States of America and the full faith and credit 
     of the United States of America is pledged for the full 
     payment and performance of such obligation.
       ``(g) Procurement Provisions.--Assistance may be provided 
     under this section notwithstanding section 604(a).

       (B) Additional landmines were laid between 1992 and 1996, 
     during the conflict between the Taliban and the Northern 
     Alliance.
       (C) United States bombings against the Taliban in 2001 and 
     2002 further increased the unexploded ordinance and cluster 
     bombs throughout Afghanistan.
       (D) The clearance of landmines is a slow and expensive 
     process.
       (E) Certain types of landmines and other unexploded 
     ordinance are small, brightly colored, and attractive to 
     children.
       (F) More than 150 Afghans, many of them children, are 
     injured every month by these weapons.
       (G) In 2003, reconstituted Taliban forces have sought out 
     and attacked workers clearing landmines, in an attempt to 
     discredit the Government of President Karzai and the United 
     States military presence.
       (H) In May 2003, after a string of Taliban attacks in which 
     mine removal workers were killed or seriously injured, the 
     United Nations suspended all mine-clearing operations in much 
     of southern Afghanistan.
       (I) Effective landmine awareness programs targeted to 
     children could save lives in Afghanistan and in other areas 
     of conflict where unexploded ordinance are a danger to the 
     safety of children.
       (2) Authorization.--The President is authorized to furnish 
     assistance to fund innovative programs designed to educate 
     children in Afghanistan and other affected areas about the 
     dangers of landmines and other unexploded ordinances, 
     especially those proposed by organizations with extensive 
     background in children's educational programs.

     otherwise authorized to be appropriated for demining and 
     related activities under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961

                TITLE XXIV--GLOBAL PATHOGEN SURVEILLANCE

     SEC. 2401. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Global Pathogen 
     Surveillance Act of 2003''.

     SEC. 2402. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Bioterrorism poses a grave national security threat to 
     the United States. The insidious nature of the threat, the 
     likely delayed recognition in the event of an attack, and the 
     underpreparedness of the domestic public health 
     infrastructure may produce catastrophic consequences 
     following a biological weapons attack upon the United States.
       (2) A contagious pathogen engineered as a biological weapon 
     and developed, tested, produced, or released in another 
     country can quickly spread to the United States. Given the 
     realities of international travel, trade, and migration 
     patterns, a dangerous pathogen released anywhere in the world 
     can spread to United States territory in a matter of days, 
     before any effective quarantine or isolation measures can be 
     implemented.
       (3) To effectively combat bioterrorism and ensure that the 
     United States is fully prepared to prevent, diagnose, and 
     contain a biological weapons attack, measures to strengthen 
     the domestic public health infrastructure and improve 
     domestic surveillance and monitoring, while absolutely 
     essential, are not sufficient.
       (4) The United States should enhance cooperation with the 
     World Health Organization, regional health organizations, and 
     individual countries, including data sharing with appropriate 
     United States departments and agencies, to help detect and 
     quickly contain infectious disease outbreaks or bioterrorism 
     agents before they can spread.
       (5) The World Health Organization (WHO) has done an 
     impressive job in monitoring infectious disease outbreaks 
     around the world, including the recent emergence of the 
     Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic, 
     particularly with the establishment in April 2000 of the 
     Global Outbreak Alert and Response network.
       (6) The capabilities of the World Health Organization are 
     inherently limited by the quality of the data and information 
     it receives from member countries, the narrow range of 
     diseases (plague, cholera, and yellow fever) upon which its 
     disease surveillance and monitoring is based, and the 
     consensus process it uses to add new diseases to the list. 
     Developing countries in particular often cannot devote the 
     necessary resources to build and maintain public health 
     infrastructures.
       (7) In particular, developing countries could benefit 
     from--

[[Page 25810]]

       (A) better trained public health professionals and 
     epidemiologists to recognize disease patterns;
       (B) appropriate laboratory equipment for diagnosis of 
     pathogens;
       (C) disease reporting based on symptoms and signs (known as 
     ``syndrome surveillance''), affording the earliest possible 
     opportunity to conduct an effective response;
       (D) a narrowing of the existing technology gap in syndrome 
     surveillance capabilities and real-time information 
     dissemination to public health officials; and
       (E) appropriate communications equipment and information 
     technology to efficiently transmit information and data 
     within national and regional health networks, including 
     inexpensive, Internet-based Geographic Information Systems 
     (GIS) and relevant telephone-based systems for early 
     recognition and diagnosis of diseases.
       (8) An effective international capability to monitor and 
     quickly diagnose infectious disease outbreaks will offer 
     dividends not only in the event of biological weapons 
     development, testing, production, and attack, but also in the 
     more likely cases of naturally occurring infectious disease 
     outbreaks that could threaten the United States. Furthermore, 
     a robust surveillance system will serve to deter terrorist 
     use of biological weapons, as early detection will help 
     mitigate the intended effects of such malevolent uses.
       (b) Purpose.--The purposes of this title are as follows:
       (1) To enhance the capability and cooperation of the 
     international community, including the World Health 
     Organization and individual countries, through enhanced 
     pathogen surveillance and appropriate data sharing, to 
     detect, identify, and contain infectious disease outbreaks, 
     whether the cause of those outbreaks is intentional human 
     action or natural in origin.
       (2) To enhance the training of public health professionals 
     and epidemiologists from eligible developing countries in 
     advanced Internet-based and other electronic syndrome 
     surveillance systems, in addition to traditional epidemiology 
     methods, so that they may better detect, diagnose, and 
     contain infectious disease outbreaks, especially those due to 
     pathogens most likely to be used in a biological weapons 
     attack.
       (3) To provide assistance to developing countries to 
     purchase appropriate public health laboratory equipment 
     necessary for infectious disease surveillance and diagnosis.
       (4) To provide assistance to developing countries to 
     purchase appropriate communications equipment and information 
     technology, including, as appropriate, relevant computer 
     equipment, Internet connectivity mechanisms, and telephone-
     based applications to effectively gather, analyze, and 
     transmit public health information for infectious disease 
     surveillance and diagnosis.
       (5) To make available greater numbers of United States 
     Government public health professionals to international 
     health organizations, regional health networks, and United 
     States diplomatic missions where appropriate.
       (6) To establish ``lab-to-lab'' cooperative relationships 
     between United States public health laboratories and 
     established foreign counterparts.
       (7) To expand the training and outreach activities of 
     overseas United States laboratories, including Centers for 
     Disease Control and Prevention and Department of Defense 
     entities, to enhance the disease surveillance capabilities of 
     developing countries.
       (8) To provide appropriate technical assistance to existing 
     regional health networks and, where appropriate, seed money 
     for new regional networks.

     SEC. 2515. SUPPORT FOR CENTRAL AFRICAN STATES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In recent years, the Central African States of Burundi, 
     the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda have 
     all been involved in overlapping conflicts that have 
     destabilized the region and contributed to the deaths of 
     millions of civilians.
       (2) The Department of State's 2002 Country Report on Human 
     Rights Practices in Burundi states that, ``impunity for those 
     who committed serious human rights violations, and the 
     continuing lack of accountability for those who committed 
     past abuses, remained key factors in the country's continuing 
     instability.''
       (3) The Department of State's 2002 Country Report on Human 
     Rights Practices in the Democratic Republic of the Congo 
     states that, ``the judiciary continued to be underfunded, 
     inefficient, and corrupt. It largely was ineffective as a 
     deterrent to human rights abuses or as a corrective force.''
       (4) The Department of State's 2002 Country Report on Human 
     Rights Practices in Rwanda states that ``there were credible 
     reports that Rwandan Defense Force units operating in the 
     [Democratic Republic of the Congo] committed deliberate 
     unlawful killings and other serious abuses, and impunity 
     remained a problem,'' and that ``the Government continued to 
     conduct genocide trials at a slow pace.''
       (5) The Department of State's 2002 Country Report on Human 
     Rights Practices in Uganda states that ``security forces used 
     excessive force, at times resulting in death, and committed 
     or failed to prevent extrajudicial killings of suspected 
     rebels and civilians. The Government enacted measures to 
     improve the discipline and training of security forces and 
     punished some security force officials who were guilty of 
     abuses; however, abuses by the security forces remained a 
     problem.''
       (6) Ongoing human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic 
     of the Congo, including ethnically-based conflict in Ituri 
     province, threaten the integrity and viability of the 
     Congolese peace process.
       (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States Government to support--
       (1) efforts aimed at accounting for the grave human rights 
     abuses and crimes against humanity that have taken place 
     throughout the central African region since 1993;
       (2) programs to encourage reconciliation in communities 
     affected by such crimes; and
       (3) efforts aimed at preventing such crimes in the future.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit to 
     the appropriate congressional committees a report on the 
     actions taken by the United States Government to implement 
     the policy set out in subsection (b).
       (d) Authorization.--Of the amounts made available under 
     chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 
     (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.), up to $12,000,000 may be made 
     available for fiscal year 2004 to support the development of 
     responsible justice and reconciliation mechanisms in the 
     Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and 
     Uganda, including programs to increase awareness of gender-
     based violence and to improve local capacity to prevent and 
     respond to such violence.

     section, the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' 
     means the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and

     SEC. 2519. EMERGENCY FOOD AID FOR HIV/AIDS VICTIMS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found 
     that ``For persons living with HIV/AIDS, practicing sound 
     nutrition can play a key role in preventing malnutrition and 
     wasting syndrome, which can weaken an already compromised 
     immune system.''.
       (2) There are immediate needs for additional food aid in 
     sub-Saharan Africa where the World Food Program has estimated 
     that more than 40,000,000 people are at risk of starvation.
       (3) Prices of certain staple commodities have increased by 
     30 percent over the past year, which was not anticipated by 
     the President's fiscal year 2004 budget request.
       (4) The Commodity Credit Corporation has the legal 
     authority to finance up to $30,000,000,000 for ongoing 
     agriculture programs and $250,000,000 represents a use of 
     less than 1 percent of such authority to combat the worst 
     public health crisis in 500 years.
       (b) Commodity Credit Corporation.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of Agriculture shall 
     immediately use the funds, facilities, and authorities of the 
     Commodity Credit Corporation to provide an additional 
     $250,000,000 in fiscal year 2003 to carry out programs 
     authorized under title II of the Agricultural Trade 
     Development and Assistance Act of 1954 (7 U.S.C. 1691 et

     affected populations in sub-Saharan Africa and other 
     developing nations, and by September 30, 2003, the 
     Administrator of the United States Agency for International 
     Development shall enter into agreements with private 
     voluntary organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and 
     other appropriate organizations for the provision of such 
     agricultural commodities through programs that--

[[Page 25814]]

       (A) provide nutritional assistance to individuals with HIV/
     AIDS and to children, households, and communities affected by 
     HIV/AIDS; and
       (B) generate funds from the sale of such commodities for 
     activities related to the prevention and treatment of HIV/
     AIDS, support services and care for HIV/AIDS infected 
     individuals and affected households, and the creation of 
     sustainable livelihoods among individuals in HIV/AIDS 
     affected communities, including income-generating and 
     business activities.
       (2) Relationship to previous food aid.--The food provided

                   COLOMBIA ON THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF 
                   PLAN COLOMBIA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) July 13, 2003, marks the third anniversary of the 
     enactment of legislation providing initial United States 
     assistance for the Plan Colombia initiative. Since then, the 
     United States has provided over $3,000,000,000 in support of 
     Plan Colombia.
       (2) During this period, the Government of Colombia, with 
     United States support, has made progress in the eradication 
     and seizure of illegal drugs.
       (3) According to reports--
       (A) the total area of coca cultivation in Colombia has 
     declined 59.9 percent from 163,289 hectares in 2000 to 
     102,071 at the end of 2002, with a further additional 65,000 
     hectares to be sprayed with herbicides in 2003;
       (B) 3,300 hectares of poppy crop have been sprayed with 
     herbicides in 2002, and an additional 1,658 hectares to be 
     sprayed in 2003; and
       (C) between January 2002 and May 2003, 100 tons of pure 
     cocaine and 850 kilos of heroin have been seized with a 
     street value of approximately $3,000,000,000.
       (4) The armed forces of Colombia have 60 percent more 
     combat-ready troops than in 1999, including three United 
     States-trained counterdrug brigades and five riverine 
     brigades.
       (5) The armed forces of Colombia are taking steps against 
     the drug traffickers and terrorists in Colombia, as 
     demonstrated by the capture, as of July 2003, of some 3,553 
     guerrillas and 1,336 members of paramilitaries and the 
     surrender of an additional 1,138 members of illegal groups, 
     the destruction of more than 1,000 coca laboratories, the 
     confiscation of solid and liquid chemicals used for 
     manufacturing cocaine, and the seizure of weapons from 
     guerrillas and drug traffickers.
       (6) In the past several years, the Government of Colombia 
     has extradited 78 persons to the United States to face trial 
     on narcotics and terrorism charges.
       (7) The Government of Colombia is working to establish law 
     and order in Colombia--
       (A) homicides have reportedly declined in Colombia during 
     the first months of 2003, as compared to the same period in 
     2002; and
       (B) kidnappings have reportedly declined during the first 
     months of 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002.
       (8) The Government of Colombia is training and equipping 
     during 2003, thousands of new police officers who will be 
     stationed in hundreds of rural towns where there is little or 
     no police presence.
       (9) The Government of Colombia plans to increase defense 
     spending from 3.5 percent of its gross domestic product in 
     2002 to 5.8 percent of its gross domestic product by 2006, 
     and to enlarge its armed forces by 126,000 troops.
       (10) It is in the national interests of the United States 
     to continue to support the efforts of President Alvaro Uribe 
     Velez of Colombia, and the Government and people of Colombia, 
     to stop narcotics trafficking, end terrorism, strengthen 
     democracy, and protect human rights.
       (b) Commendation.--The Senate--
       (1) commends President Alvaro Uribe Velez of Colombia and 
     the Government and the people of Colombia on the third 
     anniversary of Plan Colombia and for their efforts in 
     fighting illegal drugs and terrorism; and
       (2) supports and encourages the efforts of President Uribe 
     and the Government and people of Colombia to preserve and 
     strengthen democracy, protect human rights, and provide 
     economic opportunity in Colombia.

     SEC. 2524. IN APPRECIATION OF OUR ARMED FORCES AND REGARDING 
                   RESTORING STABILITY AND SECURITY IN IRAQ.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States Armed Forces, with the support of 
     forces from Great Britain and other countries, historically 
     and courageously liberated Iraq in 3 weeks.
       (2) Conditions on the ground in parts of Iraq continue to 
     pose a grave threat to American troops, thereby complicating 
     efforts to restore law and order and essential public 
     services for Iraqis and these efforts are further complicated 
     by the absence of effective communication with the Iraqi 
     people.
       (3) Ultimately, maintaining law and order in Iraq and 
     preserving its territorial integrity will require the 
     creation of a professionally trained Iraqi police force and a 
     reformed Iraqi military but that will take a significant 
     amount of time and in the meantime international armed forces 
     and police must assume these responsibilities.
       (4) Approximately 145,000 United States troops are 
     currently deployed in Iraq, meaning that American troops 
     comprise roughly 90 percent of Coalition forces, and even if, 
     as the Department of Defense has stated, an additional 10,000 
     international troops join the Coalition effort in Iraq by 
     September, Americans will still comprise roughly 85 percent 
     of Coalition forces.
       (5) Maintaining the existing force level in Iraq currently 
     requires $3,900,000,000 each month.
       (6) The Department of Defense has stated that it will 
     require 1 year to train a new Iraqi Army of 12,000 soldiers 
     and 3 years to train 40,000 soldiers.
       (7) The Coalition Provisional Authority has stated that it 
     will require at least 1 year to recruit and train a police 
     force of 40,000 officers capable of assuming minimal police 
     functions in Iraq, that it will require 5 years to recruit 
     and train a full force of 75,000 officers, and that at least 
     5,500 additional international police are needed to train, 
     assist, and jointly patrol with the existing Iraqi police 
     force.
       (8) President Bush has noted that ``The rise of Iraq, as an 
     example of moderation and democracy and prosperity, is a 
     massive and long-term undertaking'', and it is clear that 
     increasing the number of troops and police from countries 
     other than the United States will reduce risks to American 
     soldiers and the financial cost to the United States.
       (9) Secretary Rumsfeld testified that ``We certainly want 
     assistance from NATO and from NATO countries'' and it is 
     clear that involving the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, 
     as is being done in Afghanistan and has been done in Kosovo 
     and Bosnia, allows the Coalition to maintain a robust 
     military presence while decreasing the exposure and risk to 
     American troops.
       (10) Rebuilding Iraq's neglected infrastructure and economy 
     and administering Iraq--including providing basic services 
     and paying public sector salaries--is likely to require tens 
     of billions of dollars over several years and projected Iraqi 
     oil revenues will be insufficient to meet these costs.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) it is in the national security interests of the United 
     States to remain engaged in Iraq in order to ensure a 
     peaceful, stable, unified Iraq with a representative 
     government;
       (2) the President should consider requesting formally and 
     expeditiously that NATO raise a force for deployment in post-
     war Iraq similar to what it has done in Afghanistan, Bosnia, 
     and Kosovo and Congress urges NATO allies and other nations 
     to provide troops and police to Coalition efforts in Iraq; 
     and
       (3) the President should consider calling on the United 
     Nations to urge its member states to provide military forces 
     and civilian police to promote stability and security in Iraq 
     and resources to help rebuild and administer Iraq.

     SEC. 3001. SHORT TITLE.

     Act of 2003''.

     SEC. 3002. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On March 14, 2002, President George W. Bush stated that 
     ``America supports the international development goals in the 
     U.N. Millennium Declaration, and believes that

[[Page 25815]]

     the goals are a shared responsibility of developed and 
     developing countries.'' The President also called for a ``new 
     compact for global development, defined by new accountability 
     for both rich and poor nations'' and pledged support for 
     increased assistance from the United States through the 
     establishment of a Millennium Challenge Account for countries 
     that govern justly, invest in their own people, and encourage 
     economic freedom.
       (2) The elimination of extreme poverty and the achievement 
     of the other international development goals of the United 
     Nations Millennium Declaration adopted by the United Nations 
     General Assembly on September 8, 2000, are important 
     objectives and it is appropriate for the United States to 
     make development assistance available in a manner that will 
     assist in achieving such goals.
       (3) The availability of financial assistance through a 
     Millennium Challenge Account, linked to performance by 
     developing countries, can contribute significantly to the 
     achievement of the international development goals of the 
     United Nations Millennium Declaration.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this division are--
       (1) to provide United States assistance for global 
     development through the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as 
     described in section 3102; and
       (2) to provide such assistance in a manner that promotes 
     economic growth and the elimination of extreme poverty and 
     strengthens good governance, economic freedom, and 
     investments in people.
