     operative and if the assistance will cause substantial injury 
     to United States producers of the same, similar, or competing 
     commodity: Provided, That such prohibition shall not apply to 
     the Export-Import Bank if in the judgment of its Board of 
     Directors the benefits to industry and employment in the 
     United States are likely to outweigh the injury to United

     commodity, and the Chairman of the Board so notifies the 
     Committees on Appropriations.

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

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

     Colombian-based foreign terrorist organization (FTO) or its 
     members, unless it is for limited activities that are 
     determined by the Justice Department to be consistent with 
     United States anti-terrorism laws, and the Secretary of State 
     certifies to the Committees on Appropriations that:
       (1) The Government of Colombia has not adopted any law or 
     policy that is inconsistent with its obligations under the 
     United States-Colombian treaty on extradition, and has

     turnover of the totality of his illegal assets;
       (C) conditions sentence reductions for each commander of 
     such FTO on a cessation of illegal activity by the troops

     rejoined the same or another FTO, or engaged in new illegal 
     activities.
       (3) An inter-agency working group consisting of 
     representatives from the Drug Enforcement Administration, the 
     Department of Justice, and the Departments of State and 
     Defense has consulted with local and national Colombian law 
     enforcement and military authorities, representatives from 
     the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human 
     Rights in Colombia, and representatives of Colombian civil 
     society organizations, and has independently concluded in a 
     detailed report submitted to the Committees on 
     Appropriations, based on the best information available to 
     the interagency working group, that:
       (A) the FTO is not violating any ceasefire and has ceased 
     illegal activities, including narco-trafficking, extortion, 
     and violations of international humanitarian law;
       (B) the FTO's criminal and financial structure is being 
     destroyed and the FTO, or any part thereof, is not regrouping 
     to continue illegal activities;
       (C) the Government of Colombia is conducting effective 
     investigations and prosecutions of the commanders of the 
     FTO's for crimes, including violations of international 
     humanitarian law, attributable to them, and, when 
     appropriate, extraditing them to the United States;
       (D) the Government of Colombia is aggressively implementing 
     an effective procedure to locate and confiscate illegal 
     assets, held directly or through third parties, by the FTO 
     and its members, such as land, laboratories, and other assets 
     used for the cultivation, processing, and transportation of 
     illegal narcotics; and
       (E) the Government of Colombia is enforcing FTO ceasefires 
     by barring individuals who are credibly accused of crimes in 
     breach of any such

[[Page 16177]]

     ceasefire from receiving benefits for demobilization.
       (b) Consultative Process.--Prior to issuing any 
     certification under this section, the Secretary of State

     Assistance Act of 1961.
       This Act may be cited as the ``Department of State, Foreign 
     Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2006''.
         Amend the title so as to read: ``An Act making 
     appropriations for the Department of State, foreign 
     operations, and related programs for the fiscal year ending 
     September 30, 2006, and for other purposes.''.

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, let me begin my remarks on the 
Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs 
appropriations bill with a quick word of thanks to Chairman Cochran for 
the allocation and for additional outlays the subcommittee received. 
With his support, we are able to recommend a bill that provides $31.7 
billion to meet America's foreign assistance needs.
  The bill provides increased assistance above the budget request for 
accounts that enjoy broad, bipartisan support, including $1.7 billion 
for the child survival and health programs fund, $1.7 billion for 
development assistance, $395 million for assistance for Eastern Europe 
and the Baltic States, and $565 million for assistance for the 
independent states of the former Soviet Union.
  Understanding the continued importance of combating terrorism, we 
recommended full funding for assistance for Iraq, Afghanistan, 
Pakistan, Israel, Egypt, and Jordan. Significant assistance is provided 
for State Department operations, including full funding for the 
Broadcasting Board of Governors. We recommend a total of $2.9 billion 
for HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria programs, an increase of $203 million 
above the President's request; $400 million is for a contribution to 
the Global Fund, twice the amount of the President's request. We 
recommend $1.8 billion for the Millennium Challenge Corporation, an 
increase of over $300 million above last year's level but, regretfully, 
$1.2 billion below the request.
  To demonstrate our strong support of the President's commitment to 
the promotion of freedom abroad, the bill consolidates democracy 
programs under a new account entitled, ``Democracy Fund.'' This 
includes $80 million for the National Endowment for Democracy programs.
  I encourage Members to come to the floor to offer relevant 
amendments. Last year, we were fortunate in being able to finish this 
bill in 5 or 6 hours. So Senator Leahy and I are optimistic that, with 
the cooperation of our Members, we can complete this bill sometime 
either Monday night or Tuesday morning and allow the Senate to move on 
to other matters that are pressing and need to be dealt with here as we 
move toward the August recess.
  With that, I yield the floor. I know my friend and colleague, Senator 
Leahy, will be heard from now.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont is recognized.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I agree with what the chairman has said. 
There is no reason we cannot move very quickly on this bill. In fact, I 
encourage anybody who has an amendment to come to the floor because if 
we reach any point where there is not an amendment pending, I am going 
to be very happy to go to third reading.
  It has been a long time since we acted on a Foreign Operations 
appropriations bill this early in the year. I thank both Chairman 
Cochran and Senator Byrd for that. Again, I say there is no reason we 
could not pass this bill by tonight or Monday afternoon at the latest. 
I repeat and emphasize that I want those watching, if they have an 
amendment, to come forward.
  Both Senator McConnell and I have worked very hard to accommodate 
amendments that both Republicans and Democrats had in this bill. Thanks 
to the budget allocations we had, we were able to accommodate most of 
the requests we received from Members and do it in a totally bipartisan 
way.
  Senator McConnell deserves a great deal of credit for producing a 
well-crafted bipartisan bill. I praise him for that. This may not help 
him back home--to get this kind of praise from a Democrat--but he 
deserves it. I don't agree with everything in the bill, but neither 
does Senator McConnell. That is why this process works. It is a bill 
that should receive broad support. We have tried to take into 
consideration the concerns of Republicans and Democrats. So I thank him 
and his very capable staff for the way they have worked with me and my 
staff.
  If I might digress for a moment, we read a lot in the press about the 
partisanship in the Congress and how that affects getting our work 
done. I note that appropriations bills seem to go through the 
subcommittees, the full committee, and the Senate floor. I think that 
is because the Appropriations Committee, by its nature, has attracted 
many of the senior members of both the Republican and Democratic 
Parties, and we are used to working together with each other.
  Without sounding like those who reminisce a little bit too much about 
the good old days, I came here 31 years ago. Senator Mike Mansfield was 
the Democratic leader, and Senator Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania was the 
Republican leader. Senior Members of the Senate of both parties worked 
to get things done. That is what we do in the Appropriations Committee. 
We work together. The country benefits by it.
  I am not going to talk about all the provisions in the bill. The 
chairman has touched on several of the key accounts. He focused new 
resources on democracy programs, most of which I agree with. He funded 
most of the President's priorities. We have restored cuts in the 
international health and development programs that Members strongly 
support.
  We were not able to fund the Millennium Challenge Corporation at the 
level the President wanted. I discussed this with the White House. It 
will be interesting to see; if it picks up steam and shows positive 
results, I suspect we are going to provide the funds it needs.

[[Page 16178]]

  The Millennium Challenge Corporation has much in its goals with which 
we all agree. I think it is fair to say Members on both sides of the 
aisle have expressed concern about how slowly it began. There seems to 
be more effort putting the bureaucracy in place than getting the 
program out. I know the President has had similar concerns, and the 
leadership has now changed. I think that is good. It was a concern to 
many of us that it only was operating in a couple of very small places. 
Now it may go to others.
  I was in Morocco with several other Senators recently. We saw some of 
the areas where it might well work. I would like to see it pick up 
steam and show positive results. In the meantime, however, until it 
does, there is no need to set aside huge amounts of money if it is not 
going to be used and there are other programs that desperately need 
money.
  The bill, for the first time, contains funds for the State 
Department's operations. This used to be under a different 
subcommittee. Now we have it. We provide the President and Secretary of 
State with much of what they asked--most of what they asked, in fact. 
For educational and cultural exchanges, which are popular with 
Republicans and Democrats, we provide even more in the request.
  Let me mention a few other items. We provide $900 million for 
refugees, a substantial increase over last year. We felt strongly we 
should do considerably more for the world's neediest people. One has 
only to go to some of these refugee camps or hear about them to realize 
how terrible it is. Unfortunately, we will see them briefly on the 
news, almost as though this is a filler for the evening news in between 
celebrity trials in this country. Then we do not see it again, and we 
tend to think the suffering has gone away.
  In some of these refugee camps, children are being born in the 
morning and dying in the afternoon--mothers also. People are dying of 
diseases that would create no problem in this country because we would 
be immunized against them. They are dying of starvation, they are dying 
of mistreatment, and it goes on every single day.
  It is unfortunate that a celebrity trial will get significant 
coverage on the evening news; the suffering in places such as Darfur 
will not. We need to appeal to the conscience of this great and good 
Nation. Most Americans are appalled by what they see, but many 
Americans never get to see it because not enough attention is given.
  We have included $30 million for a new initiative to combat six 
debilitating diseases such as elephantiasis and intestinal parasites. 
These cause terrible inflictions for millions of people, many of them 
children. We never see these in our country because they are easily 
prevented. They can be cured with minuscule amounts of money, and they 
have been neglected for far too long.
  Many of these diseases, especially in Africa, will cause people to be 
almost condemned to debilitating diseases, children to horrible 
parasites, and yet for sometimes pennies, at the most a few dollars, it 
can be prevented and their life, their hell on Earth, could be 
prevented.
  We have included $105 million for antimalaria programs. A portion of 
that will be used to fund the President's new malaria initiative, which 
I strongly support.
  We provide another $10 million for USAID's Amazon basin and 
conservation strategy, and we maintain funding for other programs 
protecting the environment. Again, I urge this money be spent to 
actually do it, that it actually go into the conservation strategy. We 
know it needs to be done. We do not need to enlarge bureaucracies in 
Washington. We need to be on the ground doing the work.
  We include additional conditions on our assistance to Nepal on 
account of the Nepalese King's attempts to dismantle the fledgling 
democracy there. My key staff member on Foreign Operations, Tim Rieser, 
was recently in that country. We know the King's decision to dissolve 
the government, arrest political opponents, and restrict the press is 
making a solution to that conflict more elusive, isolating Nepal both 
politically and economically.
  We include conditions on funding for the demobilization of foreign 
terrorist organizations in Colombia. The framework that was recently 
approved by the Colombian Congress falls far short of what is minimally 
required to dismantle these horrible terrorist organizations.
  We restore the administration's proposed $11 million cut in our 
contribution to UNICEF. This saves millions of children's lives. When 
this country speaks of helping others, why would we be cutting money 
out of UNICEF? It would have been unthinkable to go along with that 
cut.
  There is a great deal more, and I again commend Senator McConnell for 
what I believe is one of the best foreign operations bills in recent 
years. We are going to have a difficult conference with the other body, 
but if we get the conference budget allocations we need, we should end 
up with a good result.
  I hope Senators who have amendments will make sure they belong on 
this bill; this is not an authorization bill, this is an appropriations 
bill--and bring the amendments as soon as they can.
  Mr. President, the chairman has stepped off the floor for a moment. I 
am about to suggest the absence of a quorum, but not quite yet. I 
repeat, if there are Senators who have amendments, come forward with 
them. I will be very happy to go to third reading--let's see, it is 20 
minutes of 11. I would certainly be willing to wait 5 or 10 minutes to 
see if anybody has an amendment. I will be glad to do that. I don't 
think either side requires a rollcall vote.
  More seriously, Mr. President, America is the wealthiest, most 
powerful Nation on Earth. It is a nation with a great moral core. We 
saw that during the terrible tsunami in recent months, when we poured 
out aid from this country, not only our Government but even greater 
amounts from individuals. I know in my church and most people's 
churches, their synagogues, their mosques, there were collections for 
money to help aid the tsunami victims. Civic groups, other groups, the 
Red Cross, Catholic Relief Services, and so many others raising money 
in the various service clubs--Lion's, Rotary, Kiwanis--it reflects the 
nature of Americans. We help our neighbors when they are in trouble. We 
help our neighbors even when they are on the other side of the globe.
  So much of what goes on we don't see. We don't see the millions of 
children who die each year. We don't see the horrible percentage of 
paternal deaths. We don't see these debilitating and crippling diseases 
that could so easily be cured. We don't see the need to provide, such 
as Senator Dole and Senator McGovern proposed, a school lunch program 
in many poor parts of the world so not only boys but girls would go to 
school, too, and thus bring about a positive change in society over the 
years. We spend well under 1 percent of our budget on help. Frankly, I 
feel we should do more. I think the American people put forward our 
best face, and we can do even more.
  As we eradicate disease, as we eradicate hunger, as we give people an 
opportunity to create their own businesses, sometimes a 
microenterprise, we are doing things with which most of the world will 
agree. In a time when we find so many in the world disagree with the 
United States--something I, as an American, find very disturbing--let's 
put forward this great face of America, a face I have known from my 
childhood on and all of us have known all our lives. Let's put forth 
this great reservoir of goodness and generosity of the American people. 
Let the rest of the world see it. I guarantee, we will find a lot of 
other countries will step up and join us because this is something that 
should unite us and not divide us from the rest of the world.
  Mr. President, I see the chairman is back on the floor. I yield the 
floor.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Kentucky.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I say to my colleague from Vermont, it 
has been a pleasure working with him over the last, gosh, I guess it is 
12 years

now, either as chairman or ranking member--we have been here long 
enough to rotate a couple of times--on this measure. He has made an 
extraordinarily positive contribution every year.
  We labored mightily to keep this bill as bipartisan as possible. The 
fact that last year we were able to clear it in about six hours 
indicates widespread satisfaction with the measure or we would have had 
a lot more action. We realize that is not likely to happen on a Friday 
morning, but we are intent on moving this matter to completion Monday 
or Tuesday morning at the latest. We hope everyone will cooperate. If 
anyone has a measure, if it is a good idea and warrants consideration, 
show it to Senator Leahy and myself, and we might agree with you; in 
which case, we might be prepared to take the amendments. If not, we 
hope we will have what few votes we expect will be needed Tuesday 
morning, at the latest, and move on to final passage.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
