  united states assistance policy for opposition-controlled areas of 
                                 sudan


    Sec. 592. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
the President, acting through appropriate federal agencies, may 
provide food assistance to groups engaged in the protection of 
civilian populations from attacks by regular government of 
Sudan forces, associated militias, or other paramilitary groups 
supported by the government of Sudan. Such assistance may only 
be provided in a way that: (1) does not endanger, compromise or 
otherwise reduce the United States' support for unilateral, 
multilateral or private humanitarian operations or the 
beneficiaries of those operations; or (2) compromise any 
ongoing or future people-to-people reconciliation efforts. Any 
such assistance shall be provided separate from and not in 
proximity to current humanitarian efforts, both within 
Operation Lifeline Sudan or outside of Operation Lifeline 
Sudan, or any other current or future humanitarian operations 
which serve noncombatants. In considering eligibility of 
potential recipients, the President shall determine that the 
group respects human rights, democratic principles, and the 
integrity of ongoing humanitarian operations, and cease such 
assistance if the determination can no longer be made.
    (b) Not later than February 1, 2000, the President shall 
submit to the Committees on Appropriations a report on United 
States bilateral assistance to opposition-controlled areas of 
Sudan. Such report shall include--
            (1) an accounting of United States bilateral 
        assistance to opposition-controlled areas of Sudan, 
        provided in fiscal years 1997, 1998, 1999, and proposed 
        for fiscal year 2000, and the goals and objectives of 
        such assistance;
            (2) the policy implications and costs, including 
        logistics and administrative costs, associated with 
        providing humanitarian assistance, including food, 
        directly to National Democratic Alliance participants 
        and the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement operating 
        outside of the United Nations' Operation Lifeline Sudan 
        structure, and the United States agencies best suited 
        to administer these activities; and
            (3) the policy implications of increasing 
        substantially the amount of development assistance for 
        democracy promotion, civil administration, judiciary, 
        and infrastructure support in opposition-controlled 
        areas of Sudan and the obstacles to administering a 
        development assistance program in this region.

relations with Serbia until the President submits to the 
Committees on Appropriations and Foreign Relations in the 
Senate and the Committees on Appropriations and International 
Relations in the House of Representatives the certification 
described in subsection (c).
    (e) Exemption of Montenegro and Kosova.--The sanctions 
described in subsection (b) shall not apply to Montenegro or 
Kosova.
    (f) Definition.--The term ``international financial 
institution'' includes the International Monetary Fund, the 
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the 
International Development Association, the International 
Finance Corporation, the Multilateral Investment Guaranty 
Agency, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and 
Development.
    (g) Waiver Authority.--The President may waive the 
application in whole or in part, of any sanction described in 
subsection (b) if the President certifies to the Congress that 
the President has determined that the waiver is necessary to 
meet emergency humanitarian needs.


                         clean coal technology


    Sec. 599A. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The United States is the world leader in the 
        development of environmental technologies, particularly 
        clean coal technology.
            (2) Severe pollution problems affecting people in 
        developing countries, and the serious healthproblems 
that result from such pollution, can be effectively addressed through 
the application of United States technology.
            (3) During the next century, developing countries, 
        particularly countries in Asia such as China and India, 
        will dramatically increase their consumption of 
        electricity, and low quality coal will be a major 
        source of fuel for power generation.
            (4) Without the use of modern clean coal 
        technology, the resultant pollution will cause enormous 
        health and environmental problems leading to diminished 
        economic growth in developing countries and, thus, 
        diminished United States exports to those growing 
        markets.
    (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
States to promote the export of United States clean coal 
technology. In furtherance of that policy, the Secretary of 
State, the Secretary of the Treasury (acting through the United 
States executive directors to international financial 
institutions), the Secretary of Energy, and the Administrator 
of the United States Agency for International Development 
(USAID) should, as appropriate, vigorously promote the use of 
United States clean coal technology in environmental and energy 
infrastructure programs, projects and activities. Programs, 
projects and activities for which the use of such technology 
should be considered include reconstruction assistance for the 
Balkans, activities carried out by the Global Environment 
Facility, and activities funded from USAID's Development Credit 
Authority.

        equipment, farm machinery or petrochemical refinery 
        equipment.
            (2) Federal republic of yugoslavia.--The term 
        ``Federal Republic of Yugoslavia'' includes Serbia, 
        Montenegro and Kosova.

Programs'' may be made available for the UNFPA for a country 
program in the People's Republic of China.
    (3) Conditions on Availability of Funds.--Amounts made 
available under ``International Organizations and Programs'' 
for fiscal year 2000 for the UNFPA may not be made available to 
UNFPA unless--
            (A) the UNFPA maintains amounts made available to 
        the UNFPA under this section in an account separate 
        from other accounts of the UNFPA;
            (B) the UNFPA does not commingle amounts made 
        available to the UNFPA under this section with other

        for the year in which the report is submitted for a 
        country program in the People's Republic of China.
            (B) If a report under subparagraph (A) indicates 
        that the United Nations Population Fund plans to spend 
        funds for a country program in the People's Republic of 
        China in the year covered by the report, then the 
        amount of such funds that the UNFPA plans to spend in 
        the People's Republic of China shall be deducted from 
        the funds made available to the UNFPA after March 1 for 
        obligation for the remainder of the fiscal year in 
        which the report is submitted.

    (b) Such funds may be apportioned only on a monthly basis, 
and such monthly apportionments may not exceed 8.34 percent of 
the total available for such activities.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Foreign Operations, Export 
Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2000''.
    And the Senate agree to the same.

                                Managers on the Part of the Senate.
       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

      The managers on the part of the House and Senate at the 
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2606) ``making 
appropriations for foreign operations, export financing, and 
related programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
2000'', submit the following joint statement to the House and 
Senate in explanation of the effects of the action agreed upon 
by the managers and recommended in the accompanying conference 
report:

               TITLE I--EXPORT AND INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE

     Export-Import Bank of the United States Subsidy Appropriation

      The conference agreement appropriates $759,000,000 for 
the subsidy appropriation of the Export-Import Bank as proposed 
by the House instead of $785,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement includes a provision extending 
until March 1, 2000, the existing authority for the Board of 
the Export-Import Bank to conduct business with a reduced 
quorum. During this period none of the funds provided under 
this heading may be obligated for any loan, loan guarantee, or 
insurance agreement in excess of $10,000,000 unless the 
Committees are advised in writing 20 days prior to each such 
proposed obligation.

       Overseas Private Investment Corporation Non-Credit Account

      The conference agreement provides $35,000,000 for 
administrative expenses of the Overseas Private Investment 
Corporation (OPIC) as proposed by the House instead of 
$31,500,000 as proposed by the Senate.

        Overseas Private Investment Corporation Program Account

      The conference agreement provides $24,000,000 for program 
expenses of OPIC as proposed by the Senate instead of 
$20,500,000 as proposed by the House.
      The managers have included language allowing OPIC to use 
the authorities of Section 234(g) of the Foreign Assistance Act 
of 1961 as proposed by the House, instead of repealing said 
subsection as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement 
also includes a general provision urging OPIC to establish 
within one year of enactment a maritime fund for the purpose of 
leveraging United States commercial maritime expertise to 
support international maritime projects.

                  Funds Appropriated to the President

                      Trade and Development Agency

      The conference agreement appropriates $44,000,000 for the 
Trade and Development Agency as proposed by the House instead 
of $43,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                TITLE II--BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

                  Agency for International Development

                Child Survival and Disease Programs Fund

      The conference agreement appropriates $715,000,000 for 
the Child Survival and Disease Programs Fund instead of 
$685,000,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate bill 
contained no provision on this matter, but included funds for 
these activities under ``Development Assistance''. The managers 
agree with and endorse House report language regarding the use 
of funds appropriated under this heading, including 
$110,000,000 for a grant to UNICEF for programs consistent with 
the purpose of the Child Survival and Disease Programs Fund. 
The grant for UNICEF does not preclude AID from providing 
additional funding for specific UNICEF projects as may be 
applicable. The managers have been assured that the success of 
the polio eradication program is likely to result in a 
significantly lower requirement for this effort in future 
years. The managers have included $35,000,000 for a special 
initiative to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. This is in addition to 
the $145,000,000 provided in this Fund and elsewhere in the 
bill for ongoing HIV/AIDS programs and at least $10,000,000 
designated for children affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
      In implementing programs, projects, and activities to 
combat infectious diseases, including long-standing programs 
relating to malaria and measles, as well as the more recent 
emphasis on HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, surveillance, and anti-
microbial resistance, the conferees expect AID to continue to 
consult closely with the Appropriations Committees, the Centers 
for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health, and 
other relevant agencies involved in international health 
issues. In addition to the increase for HIV/AIDS, funding for 
AID's other infectious disease programs should exceed the 
fiscal year 1999 level. The managers also direct AID to provide 
the Committees with a detailed report not later than February 
15, 2000, on the programs, projects, and activities undertaken 
by the Child Survival and Disease Programs Fund during fiscal 
year 1999.
      The managers are concerned about the growing crisis in 
Africa associated with the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Every day, 5,500 
Africans die as a result of AIDS and an additional 11,000 
people are newly infected with HIV. Half of the newly infected 
are under the age of 25. During the next few years, some 
estimates conclude that infant mortality will double, child 
mortality will triple and in many nations, life expectancy will 
have been reduced by twenty years as a result of HIV.
      AIDS is more than a health issue. It has grave 
consequences for the economic development and political 
stability of countries throughout Africa. The managers are 
therefore providing an additional $35,000,000 for activities in 
Africa to prevent new infections, to provide basic care and 
treatment of people with HIV/AIDS, and to support children 
orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
      The global health threat from tuberculosis is another 
priority for the funds provided in this Act. Because of 
difficulties encountered in implementing tuberculosis language 
accompanying last year's Act, the managers welcome AID's 
proposal to allocate $3,000,000 in fiscal year 2000 to 
tuberculosis control programs in Mexico, with an emphasis on 
cost-sharing with Mexico on programs that focus on Mexico's 
border states.
      The managers are aware that significant new private 
resources are now available to augment AID's immunization 
programs, and commend the partners in this effort. 
Consequently, the managers direct that core child survival 
activities focus on effective interventions to reduce infant 
mortality during the first month of life through activities 
that focus on the health and nutrition needs of pregnant women 
and new mothers, a vital aspect of child survival that has not 
yet attracted sufficient private funds. The managers also 
support expansion of core child survival programs in Africa.
      The managers will consider the use of not more than three 
percent of the amount provided for the Child Survival and 
Disease Programs Fund in countries funded under SEED and 
FREEDOM Support Act authorities. In particular, the managers 
urge AID to provide up to $2,000,000 to support non-
governmental organizations that work with older orphans, 
including those with cognitive disabilities and mild mental 
retardation, to teach life and job skills. The conference 
agreement also continues existing limitations on the use of the 
Fund for non-project assistance.
      The managers note that Morehouse School of Medicine is 
establishing an International Center for Health and 
Development. This center will be dedicated to forming local and 
international partnerships to address the health problems that 
are devastating Africa today. The conferees encourage AID to 
provide assistance for these efforts.

                         Development Assistance

                     (including transfer of funds)

      The conference agreement appropriates $1,228,000,000 for 
``Development Assistance'' instead of $1,201,000,000 as 
proposed by the House and $1,928,500,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. The Senate included funding for the ``Child Survival 
and Disease Programs Fund'' under its ``Development 
Assistance'' account.
      The conference agreement appropriates up to $5,000,000 
for the Inter-American Foundation from funds made available 
under this heading and up to $14,400,000 directly to the 
African Development Foundation, as proposed in the House bill. 
The Senate amendment provided authority to transfer funds from 
this account to the Inter-American Foundation, but did not 
specify an amount. Also, the Senate amendment provided 
$12,500,000 for the African Development Foundation. Section 586 
of the conference agreement provides the President with the 
authority to abolish the Inter-American Foundation during 
fiscal year 2000. The managers note that the funding level 
provided for the Inter-American Foundation is sufficient for 
meeting existing grant, contract, and lease obligations and to 
wind up any other outstanding affairs of the Foundation.
      The conference agreement continues current law regarding 
certain requirements on quotas and numerical targets for family 
planning providers participating in voluntary family planning 
projects that are funded through the Development Assistance 
account, as included in the House bill. The Senate amendment 
did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement also includes House language 
providing that $2,500,000 may be transferred from this account 
to the ``International Organizations and Programs'' account for 
a contribution to the International Fund for Agricultural 
Development (IFAD). The Senate amendment included similar 
language. The managers recognize the need for the type of 
expertise IFAD offers; therefore, the managers affirm the House 
and Senate support for continued United States contributions to 
IFAD. The Administration is expected to consult with the 
Appropriations Committees regarding IFAD's future resource 
requirements.
      The conference agreement continues current law which 
prohibits funds from being made available for any activity in 
contravention to the Convention on International Trade in 
Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES) as proposed by 
the House. The Senate bill did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement includes language from the 
Senate amendment not in the House bill that provides not to 
exceed $25,000, in addition to funds otherwise made available 
for such purposes, to monitor and provide oversight for 
assistance programs for displaced and orphan children and 
victims of war.
      The conference agreement does not include bill language 
in the Senate amendment mandating a specific sum for the 
International Law Institute. The managers continue to be 
concerned by the lack of adherence to the rule of law in the 
Independent States. Therefore, the managers direct that 
$250,000 shall be made available to the International Law 
Institute to continue its training and support of lawyers and 
judges in the Independent States.
      The conference agreement provides that not less than 
$500,000 should be made available for support of the United 
States Telecommunications Training Institute. The Senate 
amendment included bill language mandating that such funds be 
made available for this purpose. The House bill did not address 
this matter.
      The conference agreement includes language similar to a 
provision in the Senate amendment that requires that not less 
than 50 percent of the funds made available for the 
Microenterprise Initiative should be made available for loans 
of $300 or less for very poor people, particularly women, or 
for institutional support of organizations primarily engaged in 
making such loans. The House bill contained a similar provision 
which continued existing law.

                              agriculture

      The conference agreement does not contain language from 
the Senate amendment regarding the minimum level of funding for 
agriculture programs. However, the managers remain concerned 
about the decline in AID funding for international agriculture 
activities and recommend at least $305,000,000 be provided for 
such programs in fiscal year 2000. Further, the managers note 
that both the House and Senate Committee reports signal the 
deep concern for the level of funding provided for 
international agricultural development. In addition, the 
managers support the language in the House report regarding 
funding levels for the Collaborative Research Support Programs 
(CRSPs). Prior to the submission of the report required by 
section 653 of the Foreign Assistance Act, AID is directed to 
consult with the Committee on Appropriations regarding the 
proposed allocation of sector resources, including those 
intended for agriculture and for the CRSPs.

                  aid global programs and biodiversity

      The managers note the positive role AID's central offices 
and mechanisms can serve in providing policy and technical 
support in critical areas such as economic growth, energy, 
agriculture, biodiversity, democracy and women in development. 
The managers endorse House report language on global issues 
such as these, and encourage AID to adequately fund these 
central offices and mechanisms. To ensure that the Committees' 
priorities are addressed in a timely manner, the managers 
direct AID to provide, within 30 days of enactment of this Act, 
a brief written report to the Appropriations Committees on its 
planned fiscal year 2000 allocation of funds to the central 
offices in the Global Bureau.
      The conference agreement does not include a Senate 
provision regarding the proportion of funds utilized in support 
of biodiversity. The managers continue to believe that 
protecting biodiversity and tropical forests in developing 
countries is critical to the global environment and U.S. 
economic prosperity, especially for the agricultural and 
pharmaceutical industries. The managers note the House and 
Senate Committee reports which recognize the slight increase in 
AID biodiversity funding in fiscal year 1999, but remain 
concerned that the proportion of development assistance 
allocated for biodiversity activities remains less than the 
amount provided five years ago. Therefore, the managers direct 
AID to restore overall biodiversity funding as well as funding 
to the Office of Environment and Natural Resources to levels 
that reflect the proportion of funding of development 
assistance provided in fiscal year 1995.

                          education in africa

      The managers recognizing that providing increased 
educational opportunities, including at the doctoral level, is 
a key component of development efforts in Africa. The managers 
are aware of AID's minority-serving institution initiative and 
commend the agency for engaging Historically Black Colleges and 
Universities in its program for Africa. Consistent with these 
efforts, the managers encourage AID to consider up to $700,000 
for the implementation of a distance education doctoral degree 
initiative in collaboration with an HBCU that can offer 
advanced training in the areas of educational leadership, 
pharmacy, environmental sciences and engineering.

                 american schools and hospitals abroad

      The conference agreement does not contain Senate language 
requiring that not less than $15,000,000 shall be available 
only for the American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA) 
program. However, the managers direct the Agency for 
International Development to fully uphold its commitment to the 
Appropriations Committees to obligate at least $15,000,000 for 
the American Schools and Hospitals Abroad program in fiscal 
year 2000. It is the intention of the managers that the 
increase in funding for the Lebanon country program (addressed 
below under the heading ``Lebanon'') should not result in a 
decrease in funding that has been traditionally allocated to 
Lebanese educational institutions through the American Schools 
and Hospitals Abroad program provided under ``Development 
Assistance''.

                     patrick leahy war victims fund

      The conferees direct $12,000,000 for medical, orthopedic, 
and related rehabilitative and preventive assistance for war 
victims, particularly those who have been severely disabled 
from landmines and other unexploded ordnance. Of this amount, 
up to $10,000,000 is to be funded from the ``Development 
Assistance'' account and the ``Economic Support Fund''. The 
balance should be funded from Office of Transition Initiatives 
resources, and with funds from the demining budget of the 
``Nonproliferation, anti-terrorism, demining and related 
programs'' account.
      The managers note the great needs, especially for 
children, in Sierra Leone for medical, orthopedic, and related 
rehabilitative services as a result of civil war. The managers 
direct that not less than $500,000 from this account be used to 
continue the work of UNICEF and private voluntary organizations 
with experience in addressing such needs.
      As in previous years, the managers expect that any such 
programs to assist war victims should be designed and 
implemented in consultation with AID's manager of the Leahy War 
Victims Fund.

                                 Cyprus

      The conference agreement includes language from the 
Senate amendment that provides that not less than $15,000,000 
shall be made available for Cyprus to be used only for 
scholarships, administrative support of the scholarship 
program, bicommunal projects, and measures aimed at 
reunification of the island and designed to reduce tensions and 
promote peace and cooperation between the two communities on 
Cyprus. Funds are to be derived from ``Development Assistance'' 
and ``Economic Support Fund''. The House bill did not contain a 
provision on this matter.

                                Lebanon

      The conference agreement includes language similar to 
that from the Senate amendment that provides that not less than 
$15,000,000 of the fundsappropriated under ``Development 
Assistance'' and ``Economic Support Fund'' should be made available for 
Lebanon to be used, among other purposes, for scholarships and direct 
support of the American educational instutitions in Lebanon. The Senate 
language is identical to the conference agreement, except it would have 
required the allocation of these funds. The House bill did not address 
this matter.
      The increase of $3,000,000 for Lebanon is being provided 
for the direct support of the American educational institutions 
in that country. It is the intention of the managers that the 
increase in funding for the Lebanon country program should not 
result in a decrease in funding that has been traditionally 
allocated to Lebanese educational institutions through the 
American Schools and Hospitals Abroad program provided under 
``Development Assistance''.

                                 Burma

      The conference agreement includes language similar to 
that from the Senate amendment that provides that, of the funds 
made available under ``Development Assistance'' and ``Economic 
Support Fund'', not less than $6,500,000 shall be made 
available to support democracy activities in Burma, democracy 
and humanitarian activities along the Burma-Thailand border, 
and for Burmese student groups and other organizations located 
outside Burma. These funds are to be made available 
notwithstanding any other provision of law and shall be subject 
to the regular notification procedures of the Committees on 
Appropriations, as proposed by the Senate. Language proposed by 
the Senate that would have allocated not less than $800,000 of 
these funds for certain specified activities is not included, 
nor is language providing that funds made available under this 
heading shall be subject to consultation and guidelines 
provided by the leadership of the Burmese government elected in 
1990.
      The House bill did not address this matter.

                                Cambodia

      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate that would have prohibited funds for the 
Central Government of Cambodia until the Secretary of State 
determines and reports to the Committees on Appropriations and 
the Committee on Foreign Relations that the Government of 
Cambodia has established a tribunal consistent with the 
requirements of international law and justice and including the 
participation of international jurists and prosecutors for the 
trial of those who committed genocide or crimes against 
humanity and that the Government of Cambodia is making 
significant progress in establishing an independent and 
accountable judicial system, a professional military 
subordinate to civilian control, and a neutral and accountable 
police force. The funding restriction proposed by the Senate 
would not have applied to demining and other humanitarian 
programs.
      The House did not address this matter under title II. The 
House provision on Cambodia, section 573 of the House bill, is 
included in modified form in the conference report under title 
V.

                             Southeast Asia

      The conference agreement does not include reservations of 
specific minimum funding allocations for Indonesia as proposed 
by the Senate. The House bill did not address these matters.
      The managers support the highest possible level of 
assistance to support the economic recovery of the Philippines, 
Thailand, and Indonesia from the Asian financial crisis. 
Effective support for private investment, better governance, 
and less corruption in these countries should be given a higher 
priority in development assistance and Economic Support Fund 
allocation decisions. The Accelerated Economic Recovery in Asia 
and US-Asia Environmental Partnership programs should be 
augmented by specific efforts to retain existing major United 
States private sector investments in the region, especially in 
the infrastructure sector. The renewed security relationship 
between the Philippines and the United States provides 
additional justification for increased support to that country.
      The managers recognize that humanitarian and economic 
assistance from many nations will be needed to enable East 
Timor to recover from the violence and destruction perpetrated 
by anti-independence forces following the referendum of August 
30, 1999. The recovery of East Timor will also depend on the 
cooperation of its Indonesian neighbors. The managers encourage 
the Executive branch to use funds provided in this Act for the 
United States contribution to the recovery of East Timor.
      The managers suggest a modest program of assistance for 
the people of Vietnam, mostly for humanitarian activities. The 
managers urge AID to work with the U.S. Embassy to support a 
safety awareness campaign in Vietnam to reverse the increase in 
preventable accidents, especially those affecting children.
      The managers continue to be concerned about the status of 
religious groups in Vietnam. The Secretary of State is 
requested to report to the Committees not later than six months 
after enactment of this Act on the extent to which the 
Socialist Republic of Vietnam is facilitating thefollowing: (1) 
The operation of independent churches; (2) the return of church 
properties confiscated since 1974; (3) visits to the Supreme Patriarch 
of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam by a delegation of American 
religious leaders and medical doctors; and (4) participation of 
democracy and human rights advocates in United States education and 
cultural exchange programs.

                           Conservation Fund

      The conference agreement does not include a provision 
from the Senate amendment mandating $500,000 from ``Development 
Assistance'' for the Charles Darwin Research Station and the 
Charles Darwin Foundation. The House bill did not address this 
matter.
      The managers direct that $500,000 be provided from 
``Development Assistance'' for research, training, and related 
activities to support conservation efforts in the Galapagos. 
Because AID has made plans to sustain a commitment to the 
Galapagos, the managers expect fiscal year 2000 to be the final 
year for congressional mandates.

                          Conflict Resolution

      The conference agreement does not include Senate language 
earmarking $1,000,000 from ``Economic Support Fund'', 
``Development Assistance'', and ``Assistance for Eastern Europe 
and the Baltic States'' accounts to support conflict resolution 
programs. However, the managers urge the State Department and 
AID to support such programs where appropriate. The managers 
especially commend Seeds of Peace, a widely respected 
organization which promotes understanding between Arab and 
Israeli teenagers, and Turkish and Greek Cypriot teenagers, and 
direct the Agency for International Development to provide up 
to $861,000 to Seeds of Peace in fiscal year 2000.

                  Private and Voluntary Organizations

      The conference agreement includes language from the House 
bill providing that funds appropriated for development 
assistance should be available to private and voluntary 
organizations at a level which is at least equivalent to the 
level provided in fiscal year 1995. The Senate amendment 
included similar language.

                   International Disaster Assistance

      The conference agreement appropriates $175,880,000 for 
``International Disaster Assistance'' instead of $200,880,000 
as proposed by the House and $175,000,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. The managers note that Congress provided $388,000,000 
for this account in fiscal year 1999, including $188,000,000 in 
emergency supplemental funds, and that AID expects to carry-
over into fiscal year 2000 the unobligated fiscal year 1999 
balances. Further, the managers note that Section 492(b) of the 
Foreign Assistance Act provides the President with the 
authority to obligate up to $50,000,000 from other assistance 
accounts in order to provide disaster assistance, if necessary.
      The conference agreement requires greater accountability 
on disaster assistance funds utilized in support of AID's 
Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI). OTI activities have 
been effective in many countries, but the managers are 
increasingly concerned that scarce emergency disaster aid may 
be unavailable due to longer-term OTI commitments. Therefore, 
the conference agreement requires that AID submit a report to 
the Appropriations Committees not less than five days prior to 
initiating an OTI program in a country in which OTI did not 
operate in fiscal year 1999. The managers believe this 
reporting requirement will help ensure that the Appropriations 
Committees receive timely information regarding the nature of 
OTI programs so they can better evaluate these transition 
activities in the future.
      The managers note that OTI may utilize funds from other 
development and economic accounts in addition to the Disaster 
Assistance account and expect AID to report on the country 
allocations of all funds under OTI management in the annual 
report required under section 653 of the Foreign Assistance Act 
beginning in fiscal year 2000.

         Micro and Small Enterprise Development Program Account

      The conference agreement continues existing law regarding 
the level of guarantees provided in support of micro and small 
enterprise activities. The Senate amendment proposed making the 
guarantee level permanent law.

             Urban and Environmental Credit Program Account

      The conference agreement provides $1,500,000 in subsidy 
budget authority for the Urban and Environmental Credit program 
as proposed by the Senate amendment. The House bill provided no 
subsidy budget authority. In addition, the conference agreement 
appropriates $5,000,000 for administrative expenses as proposed 
by the House, instead of $4,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

              Development Credit Authority Program Account

      The conference agreement provides up to $3,000,000 for 
the cost of loans and loan guarantees for AID's Development 
Credit Authority (DCA) from funds transferred from existing 
development and economic accounts administered by AID. Up to 
$500,000 of this amount may be transferred to and merged with 
AID's ``Operating Expenses'' account. The managers urge that 
programs in the Russian Far East be given priority. The House 
bill did not provide authority for a development credit 
program. The Senate amendment provided $7,500,000 for this 
purpose.
      The managers recognize the serious effort made by the 
Administration during the past two fiscal years to guarantee 
the financial integrity of the DCA, including the establishment 
of a credit review board to approve individual DCA loan and 
loan guarantee projects. However, the managers continue to be 
concerned about the larger development policy implications of 
AID conducting new loan and guarantee programs. Given the 
significant problems developing nations have experienced in 
repaying existing U.S. loans and the subsequent rescheduling 
and cancellation of these debts, the managers urge caution in 
extending new loans and guarantees.

     Operating Expenses of the Agency for International Development

      The conference agreement appropriates $495,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate, instead of $479,950,000 as proposed by 
the House. The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate to extend the availability of these 
funds until September 30, 2001. Also, the conference agreement 
does not provide $1,500,000 from Operating Expenses for the 
purchase of land in northern India as proposed by the Senate. 
The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conference agreement prohibits the use of funds in 
this account to finance the construction or long-term lease of 
offices for use by AID unless the administrator of AID reports 
in writing to the Appropriations Committees at least 15 days 
prior to the obligation of funds for such purposes. This 
reporting requirement applies only when the total cost of 
construction (including architect and engineering services), 
purchase, or lease commitment, exceeds $1,000,000. The House 
bill and the Senate amendment contained similar provisions.

                  Other Bilateral Economic Assistance

                         Economic Support Fund

      The conference agreement appropriates $2,177,000,000 
instead of $2,227,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
$2,195,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. In addition, it 
provides not less than $960,000,000 for Israel and not less 
than $735,000,000 for Egypt as proposed by the Senate instead 
of not to exceed $960,000,000 for Israel and not to exceed 
$735,000,000 for Egypt as proposed by the House. The conference 
agreement also includes language providing that not less than 
$200,000,000 of the funds appropriated for Egypt shall be used 
for Commodity Import Program assistance as proposed by the 
Senate. The House bill did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement also includes language providing 
that not less than $150,000,000 should be provided for Jordan 
as proposed by the Senate. The House bill did not address this 
matter.
      The conference agreement also includes Senate language 
providing that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, not 
to exceed $11,000,000 may be used to support victims of and 
programs related to the Holocaust. The House did not address 
this matter.
      The conference agreement does not include language from 
the Senate amendment, not in the House bill, that would have 
prohibited funds appropriated under this heading from being 
made available to the Korean Peninsula Energy Development 
Organization.
      The conference agreement also includes language that, 
notwithstanding any other provision of law, $1,000,000 shall be 
made available to nongovernmental organizations located outside 
of the People's Republic of China to support activities which 
preserve cultural traditions and promote sustainable 
development and environmental conservation in Tibetan 
communities in that country. The managers are aware of the 
important work of the Bridge Fund in this regard, and strongly 
support funding for this organization.
      Senate language under this heading that authorized 
$10,000,000 for activities for Iraqi opposition groups is 
addressed under title V of the conference report.
      The managers direct that $5,000,000 in funding from this 
account be used to support the activities authorized under the 
Irish Peace Process Cultural and Training Program Act of 1998 
(Public Law 105-319).
      The conference agreement does not include an additional 
$50,000,000 for Jordan (above a base level of $150,000,000), as 
requested by the President and provided in the House bill, in 
connection with funding for implementation of the Wye River 
accord. It is the intention of the managers that the 
Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate will address 
this matter when Congress takes action on all funds requested 
for implementation of the Wye River accords. The managers 
strongly support funding for Jordan, both in this account and 
under ``Foreign Military Financing Program'', and are committed 
to seeking to provide the full budget request for Jordan at the 
appropriate time.

                     International Fund for Ireland

      The conference agreement appropriates $19,600,000 for the 
International Fund for Ireland, as proposed by the House. The 
Senate amendment did not address this matter.
      The conferees encourage the International Fund for 
Ireland (IFI) to consider direct funding of locally-based 
organizations dedicated to attracting investment to their 
municipalities and regions. In doing so, the conferees believe 
the IFI will further its goals of increasing domestic and 
international interest in continued cooperation and stability.

          Assistance for Eastern Europe and the Baltic States

      The conference agreement appropriates $535,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate instead of $393,000,000 as proposed by 
the House.
      The conference agreement also includes language stating 
that $150,000,000 should be provided for Kosova. The Senate 
amendment had provided for six country earmarks which are not 
included in the conference agreement. The House bill did not 
address this matter.
      The conference agreement also includes language that 
prohibits funds for Kosova until the Secretary of State 
certifies that the resources pledged by the United States at 
the upcoming Kosova donors conference and similar pledging 
conferences shall not exceed 15 percent of the total resources 
pledged by all donors. In addition, language has been included 
stating that funds for Kosova shall not be made available for 
large scale physical infrastructure reconstruction.
      In addition, the conference report includes Senate 
language that provides no more than $130,000,000 for Bosnia and 
Herzegovina from the funds appropriated under this account and 
under ``International Narcotics and Law Enforcement'' and 
``Economic Support Fund''. The House bill did not address this 
matter.
      The conference agreement also includes House language 
prohibiting funds from being used for new housing construction 
or repair or reconstruction of existing housing in Bosnia and 
Herzegovina unless directly related to the efforts of United 
States troops to promote peace in said country. The Senate 
amendment did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement also includes language from the 
House bill that applies the provisions of section 532 
(``Separate Accounts'') to all funds provided under this 
heading, rather than just to funds made available for Bosnia 
and Herzegovina as proposed by the Senate. In addition, it 
includes language proposed by the House that authorizes the 
President to withhold funds for economic reconstruction 
programs in Bosnia and Herzegovina if he certifies that the 
Bosnian Federation is not complying with requirements in the 
Dayton Peace Accord to remove foreign forces, and has not 
terminated intelligence cooperation with Iranian officials. The 
Senate amendment did not address this matter.

                     romanian children and orphans

      The managers direct that up to $4,400,000 be provided for 
emergency aid for the child victims of the present economic 
crisis in Romania. The program should be administered through, 
or in close coordination with, the Romanian Department of Child 
Protection. It should focus on supplemental food support and 
maintenance, support for in-home foster care, and supplemental 
support for special needs residential care.

    Assistance for the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union

      The conference agreement appropriates $735,000,000 
instead of $725,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
$780,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The word ``New'' is 
deleted from the heading, as proposed by the House. The 
managers have included a ceiling on management costs for 
nuclear safety activities as proposed by the Senate and a 
limitation of 25 percent on the percentage of funds that may be 
allocated for any single country as proposed by the House.
      The managers also encourage the Coordinator and AID to 
move as rapidly as possible to implement programs that focus on 
the social transition in the region as it affects ordinary 
citizens, to reward reform-oriented countries such as Moldova 
and Kyrgystan, and to accelerate the focus on regional efforts 
in reform-oriented secondary cities in Russia, Ukraine, and 
Kazakhstan.

                              russia-iran

      The conference agreement continues the current 
restrictions on assistance to the Government of the Russian 
Federation as long as Russian enterprises and institutes 
continue to collaborate with Iran to increase Iranian 
capability to develop and deploy nuclear and ballistic missile 
technology. The managers agree that assistance to combat 
infectious diseases, child survival and non-proliferation 
activities, support for regional and municipal governments, and 
partnerships between United States hospitals, universities, 
judicial training institutions and environmental organizations 
and counterparts in Russia should not be affected by this 
subsection.

                            russian far east

      The conference agreement includes new language providing 
not less than $20,000,000 for the Russian Far East. This matter 
was not addressed in the House bill or the Senate amendment. 
Under the heading ``Development Credit Authority'' in title II, 
the managers also directed that additional funds be made 
available to stimulate ventures in the Russian Far East led by 
American firms with expertise in primary industries, including 
natural resource development, telecommunications and basic 
infrastructure, finance, and consumer goods.

                        southern caucasus region

      The managers support regional cooperation efforts among 
the countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, including 
United States efforts through the Caucasus Cooperation Forum. 
To further regional cooperation, the conference agreement 
continues the current six exemptions from the statutory 
restrictions on assistance to the Government ofAzerbaijan. The 
managers include a requirement that 15 percent of the funds available 
for the Southern Caucasus region be used for confidence-building 
measures and other activities related to the resolution of regional 
conflicts instead of 17.5 percent as proposed by the House.
      The conference agreement includes a provision that not 
less than 12.92 percent of the funds under this heading be made 
available for Georgia and not less than 12.2 percent for 
Armenia. Similar language was proposed by the Senate but not 
included in the House bill. The managers are concerned that 
little progress has been made to improve conditions in the 
regions of Armenia affected by the 1988 earthquake. The 
conferees direct the Coordinator and AID to allocate up to 
$15,000,000 to support recovery and economic reconstruction 
initiatives in the regions most severely affected. In addition, 
at least $25,000,000 of the funds made available for Georgia 
should be obligated for border security and law enforcement 
training.
      The managers continue to support funding of the judicial 
reform initiatives in Georgia, but are aware of concerns 
regarding the legal rights of Loren Wille, an American working 
for Catholic Relief Services who was recently arrested in 
Georgia. The conferees urge the State Department to use the 
influence of the United States to ensure fairness and 
transparency in the treatment of Mr. Wille, and request a 
report from the Department no later than December 1, 1999, on 
the extent to which Mr. Wille's rights have been respected 
during the Georgian judicial process.

                                ukraine

      The managers include bill language that $180,000,000 
should be made available for Ukraine instead of a mandatory 
$210,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. In the event that 
October, 1999, Presidential elections in Ukraine produce a 
reform government, the managers would expect the Coordinator 
and AID to allocate additional funds for Ukraine. The managers 
recommend $25,000,000 for nuclear safety programs in Ukraine 
and up to $10,000,000 for regional initiatives that include 
industrial study tours, technology business incubators, and 
community based telecommunications projects. The conference 
agreement does not include any provision withholding funds for 
Ukraine as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement does not include Senate language 
regarding the destruction of stockpiles of landmines in 
Ukraine. However, the managers strongly support the elimination 
of some 10 million mines stockpiled in Ukraine and Moldova that 
could otherwise be exported to areas of conflict and cause 
egregious harm to innocent civilians. The managers intend and 
expect that of the funds made available in this Act for Ukraine 
and Modova, $5,000,000 will be contributed to a multinational 
effort to destroy these landmines and similar munitions.

                       russian leadership program

      The conference agreement includes new language providing 
an additional $10,000,000 to carry out the Russian Leadership 
Program enacted on May 21, 1999. The statutory authority is 
modified to extend the pilot program administered by the 
Library of Congress for 1 year and to postpone transfer of the 
program to the Executive branch by 1 year.

                            russian orphans

      The conferees strongly support AID's new strategy for 
addressing the needs of Russian orphans and concur with the 
House report language on this matter. The managers are 
concerned about the immediate needs of orphans in some of the 
most economically disadvantaged parts of the Russian 
Federation, such as Magadan. The conferees encourage AID to 
supplement its orphan strategy by identifying reform-minded and 
committed orphanage and child welfare officials in those 
regions and developing a program to improve the basic 
conditions of orphans there.

                           medical assistance

      The conference agreement does not include a Senate 
earmark for Carelift International. However, the managers are 
aware that large amounts of used high-technology medical 
equipment no longer needed by American hospitals can be put to 
good use in the former Soviet Union and other regions unable to 
afford high-technology medical equipment. Carelift 
International and other organizations provide such equipment 
and provide training on its proper use and maintenance. The 
conferees expect AID to support such private initiatives in its 
social transition strategy for the independent states and 
Central Europe and direct that $3,000,000 be made available to 
Carelift International upon receipt of a detailed proposal.

                                mongolia

      The conference agreement retains authority for funds 
provided under this heading to be used in Mongolia. The amount 
provided for Mongolia from this heading is $6,000,000. The 
remainder of the amount requested is to be made available from 
other accounts in title II of this Act.

                           Independent Agency

                              Peace Corps

      The Conference agreement appropriates $235,000,000 
instead of $240,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
$220,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                          Department of State

          International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement

      The Conference agreement appropriates $285,000,000 as 
proposed by the House for International Narcotics Control and 
Law Enforcement. The Senate amendment proposed $215,000,000.
      The conference agreement does not include the ceiling of 
$20,000,000 on anti-crime activities within the account. 
However, the agreement does require that all anti-crime 
programs are subject to the regular notification procedures of 
the Committees on Appropriations.
      The conference agreement contains House language allowing 
the Department of State to utilize section 608 of the Foreign 
Assistance Act to receive excess property from other U.S. 
federal agencies for use in a foreign country. The Senate 
amendment did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement provides that not less than 
$10,000,000 should be available for Law Enforcement Training 
and Demand Reduction, which is similar to the Senate amendment. 
The House did not address this matter. The managers urge up to 
$4,000,000 of this amount be for demand reduction programs.
      The conference agreement does not include a Senate 
provision regarding the establishment and operation of the 
International Law Enforcement Academy of the Western Hemisphere 
at the deBremmond Training Center in Roswell, New Mexico, 
deleting this language without prejudice. The House included no 
similar bill language. The managers are aware of recent State 
Department commitments to Congress regarding this proposal. The 
managers expect the Department of State to resolve this matter 
to the satisfaction of the Committees. The managers direct the 
Department of State to provide the Committees on 
Appropriations, not later than 45 days after enactment of this 
Act, a report on the proposed training program at the 
deBremmond Training Center during fiscal year 2000.
      The conference agreement does not contain a Senate 
amendment providing not less than $10,000,000 for mycoherbicide 
counter drug research and development. The House did not 
address this matter. However, the managers recognize that the 
development of plant pathogens which are capable of destroying 
illicit drug crops, including opium poppy, coca and marijuana, 
offer a potential weapon for United States counter-narcotics 
efforts. The managers understand that all current funding 
requirements have been met for fiscal years 1999 and 2000. 
Consistent with the position taken in the fiscal year 1999 
Supplemental appropriations conference report, the managers 
recommend that the responsibility for this funding should be 
assumed by the Office of the National Drug Control Policy to 
support any additional future needs for counterdrug research 
and development for the following: mycoherbicide product 
research and development; narcotic crop eradication 
technologies; narcotic plant identification and biotechnology; 
worldwide narcotic crop identification; and alternative crop 
research and development.
      The managers affirm House and Senate report language 
regarding counter-narcotics programs and encourage the 
Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics 
Control and Law Enforcement to develop a comprehensive proposal 
to upgrade helicopter lift capability for anti-drug operations 
in Latin America.
      The managers are concerned about the deteriorating 
conditions in Colombia. In 1998, 308,000 Colombians were 
internally displaced and during the past decade 35,000 
Colombians have been killed in the violence between government 
forces, paramilitaries, and the FARC and ELN. The managers 
commend President Pastrana for his efforts to end this 
protracted conflict. The managers encourage the Department of 
State and other Executive agencies to continue their efforts to 
assist President Pastrana and the Colombian government toward a 
peaceful resolution of this conflict.
      Given the instability in the region, the managers have 
been concerned by the consistently low levels of support during 
the past several years provided to the Government of Ecuador in 
its efforts to stem the flow of drugs transiting through 
Ecuador from both Colombia and Peru. Therefore, the managers 
direct the State Department Bureau on International Narcotics 
and Law Enforcement to provide a report, 60 days after the date 
of enactment, on its revised plans to assist Ecuador in 
improving its counter-narcotics efforts.
      Because of budgetary limitations, $21,000,000 of the 
amount provided under this heading and $21,000,000 provided 
under the heading ``Migration and Refugee Assistance'' is 
withheld from obligation until September 30, 2000. Both 
programs were augmented by sizable supplemental appropriations 
during fiscal year 1999.

                    Migration and Refugee Assistance

      The conference agreement appropriates $625,000,000, 
instead of $640,000,000 as proposed by the House bill and 
$610,000,000 as proposed in the Senate amendment. The 
conference agreement makes available $13,800,000, as proposed 
in the House bill, for administrative expenses. The Senate 
amendment proposed $13,500,000. The managers note that more 
than $160,000,000 remains in this account from previous 
appropriations acts.
      The conference agreement also includes Senate language, 
not included in the House bill, that provides not less than 
$60,000,000 for refugees from the former Soviet Union and 
Eastern Europe and other refugees resettling in Israel.

     United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund

      The conference agreement appropriates $12,500,000 instead 
of $30,000,000 as proposed by the House and $20,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. The managers note that more than 
$70,000,000 remains available in this account.

    Nonproliferation, Anti-Terrorism, Demining and Related Programs

      The conference agreement appropriates $181,600,000 
instead of $181,630,000 as proposed by the House and 
$175,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement also includes language proposed 
by the House, that was not in the Senate amendment, that 
authorizes a United States contribution to the Comprehensive 
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Preparatory Commission, and requires 
that the Secretary of State must inform the Committees on 
Appropriations at least 20 days prior to the obligation of 
funds for such Commission.
      The conference agreement includes language proposed by 
the Senate, that was not in the House bill, that provides that 
$35,000,000 should be used for demining, clearance of 
unexploded ordnance and related activities, and that not to 
exceed $500,000 may be used for related administrative 
expenses.
      The conference agreement does not include language from 
the Senate amendment that limited funding for the contribution 
to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to 
$40,000,000.
      Funding limitations affecting the Korean Peninsula 
Economic Development Organization (KEDO) are addressed under 
title V of this statement and accompanying conference report.
      The managers intend that funds appropriated under this 
heading be allocated as follows:

                       Department of the Treasury

               international affairs technical assistance

      Both the House and the Senate provided $1,500,000 for the 
international affairs technical assistance program of the 
Department of the Treasury. The managers encourage the 
Administration to meet the requested level for this program by 
transferring funds to the Department of the Treasury from other 
funds appropriated in title II of this Act.

                           debt restructuring

      The conference agreement appropriates $33,000,000 for 
debt restructuring as proposed by the House instead of 
$43,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The managers include 
funding for bilateral debt restructuring and implementation of 
title V of the Foreign Assistance Act only.

                     TITLE III--MILITARY ASSISTANCE

             International Military Education and Training

      The conference agreement appropriates $50,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate instead of $45,000,000 as proposed by 
the House. It also provides that up to $1,000,000 may remain 
available until expended as proposed by the House; the Senate 
amendment did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement also includes language proposed 
by the House that limits Guatemala and Indonesia to Expanded 
IMET only, and provides for regular notification procedures for 
funds allocated for Guatemala as proposed by the House. The 
Senate amendment would have limited Guatemala to Expanded IMET 
only, but did not address funding for Indonesia and did not 
require notification for Guatemala.
      The conference agreement also includes language from the 
House bill providing that funding for the School of the 
Americas is contingent upon a certification by the Secretary of 
Defense that the instruction provided by the School is fully 
consistent with training provided by the Department of Defense 
to United States military training students at U.S. military 
institutions. It also includes House language requiring a 
report by the Secretary of Defense on training activities at 
the School of the Americas during 1997 and 1998.
      The Senate amendment did not address these matters.

                   Foreign Military Financing Program

      The conference agreement appropriates $3,420,000,000 
instead of $3,470,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
$3,410,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. In addition, it 
includes language proposed by the Senate that provides not less 
than $1,920,000,000 for grants for Israel and not less than 
$1,300,000,000 for grants for Egypt instead of not to exceed 
$1,920,000,000 for Israel and not to exceed $1,300,000,000 for 
Egypt as proposed by the House.
      The conference agreement also includes language similar 
to that proposed by the Senate providing that not less than 
26.3 percent of the funds made available for Israel shall be 
available for procurement in Israel. The House bill included 
language stating that not to exceed $505,000,000 should be made 
available for such procurement.
      The conference agreement also includes House language 
providing that no Partnership for Peace funds may be made 
available to a non-NATO country except through the regular 
notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations. 
The Senate amendment did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate that would have allowed direct loans to 
be converted to grants, and grants to direct loans. The House 
bill did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement provides not less than 
$3,000,000 in grant assistance for Tunisia and directs the 
drawdown of not less than $4,000,000 in defense articles, 
defense services, and military education and training. The 
Senate amendment would have directed $10,000,000 for Tunisia. 
The House bill did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement also includes language providing 
up to $1,000,000 for Ecuador, subject to the regular 
notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations.
      The conference agreement provides a ceiling of 
$30,495,000 for administrative expenses as proposed by the 
House instead of $30,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement also includes language directing 
that, forty-five days after enactment, the Secretary of Defense 
shall report to the Committees on Appropriations regarding an 
appropriate host institution to support and advance the efforts 
of the Defense Institute for International and Legal Studies in 
both legal and political education. The Senate amendment would 
have provided not less than $1,000,000 for the Defense 
Institute of International Studies for various activities under 
``International Military Education and Training''. The House 
bill did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement does not include an earmark of 
$5,000,000 for the Philippines. However, the managers are 
strongly supportive of efforts to increase defense cooperation 
with that nation and are aware the Administration is proposing 
to provide $1,000,000 in grant funds for the Philippines in 
fiscal year 1999.

                        Peacekeeping Operations

      The conference agreement appropriates $78,000,000 instead 
of $76,500,000 as proposed by the House and $80,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.

               TITLE IV--MULTILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

                  International Financial Institutions

                   global environment facility (gef)

      The conference agreement appropriates $35,800,000 for the 
Global Environment Facility instead of $50,000,000 as proposed 
by the House and $25,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

       contribution to the International Development Association

      The conference agreement appropriates $625,000,000 
instead of $776,600,000 as proposed by the Senate and 
$568,600,000 as proposed by the House.

      contribution to the multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency

      The conference agreement appropriates $4,000,000 for 
paid-in capital issued by the Multilateral Investment Guarantee 
Agency instead of $10,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
House bill did not include any appropriation for this purpose. 
Approval for subscription to the appropriate amount of callable 
capital is also included in the conference agreement.

               contribution to the asian development fund

      The conference agreement appropriates $77,000,000 for the 
Asian Development Fund instead of $50,000,000 as proposed by 
the Senate and $100,000,000 as proposed by the House. The 
entire amount is for contributions previously due.

              contribution to the african development fund

      The conference agreement appropriates $77,000,000 for the 
African Development Fund instead of $108,000,000 as proposed by 
the House. The Senate amendment did not include any 
appropriation for this purpose.

              contribution to the African Development Bank

      The conference agreement appropriates $1,000,000 for 
paid-in capital issued by the African Development Bank instead 
of $5,100,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House bill did not 
include an appropriation for this purpose. Approval for 
subscription to the appropriate amount of callable capital is 
also included in the conference agreement.

                international Organizations and Programs

      The conference agreement provides $170,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate amendment. The House bill appropriated 
$167,000,000.
      The conference agreement does not contain a provision in 
the House bill regarding the Climate Stabilization Fund. The 
Senate amendment did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement continues current law indicating 
that $5,000,000 should be made available for the World Food 
Program, which is similar to the Senate amendment. The House 
bill did not address this matter.
      The managers note that the President's budget request for 
fiscal year 2000 proposed a reduction in funding for the United 
Nations Development Program. However, the managers are 
encouraged by the initiatives being undertaken by the new 
administrator of UNDP, and urge the Administration to strongly 
support these efforts and to encourage other donors to do the 
same.

                      TITLE V--GENERAL PROVISIONS

      (Note.--If House and Senate language is identical except 
for a different section number or minor technical differences, 
the section is not discussed in the Statement of Managers.)
Sec. 502. Prohibition of bilateral funding for international 
        institutions
      The conference agreement modifies existing law to 
prohibit funds from title II of this Act to be transferred by 
AID directly to an international financial institution for the 
purpose of repaying a foreign country's loan obligations, as 
proposed by the House. The Senate amendment made no change to 
existing law.
Sec. 509. Transfers between accounts
      The conference agreement deletes the requirement for the 
President to notify the Appropriations Committees, through 
their regular notification procedures, when exercising the 
transfer authority provided under the section.
Sec. 512. Limitation on assistance to countries in default
      The conference agreement ends the exemption for 
Nicaragua, Brazil, and Liberia from requirements under section 
620(q) of the Foreign Assistance Act and under this section 
regarding default on loans made by the U.S. This language is 
the same as the Senate amendment. The House bill retained the 
exemption for these countries.
Sec. 514. Surplus commodities
      The conference agreement deletes subsection (b) of the 
House general provision, as proposed by the Senate. This 
subsection would have required the Secretary of the Treasury to 
direct the U.S. executive directors of the international 
financial institutions to support the purchase of American 
produced agricultural commodities.
Sec. 515. Notification requirements
      The conference agreement deletes ``International Affairs 
Technical Assistance'' from the notification requirements under 
this section as proposed by the House.
Sec. 520. Special notification requirements
      The conference agreement adds ``Panama'' as proposed by 
the House bill to the list of countries subject to the special 
notification procedures of this section. The conference 
agreement does not include ``India'' as proposed in the Senate 
amendment.
Sec. 522. Child survival and disease prevention activities
      The conference agreement modifies existing law to clarify 
the intent of this section that allows AID to use $10,000,000 
appropriated under the ``Child Survival and Disease Programs 
Fund'' for technical experts from other government agencies, 
universities, and other institutions. Since Congress 
established a separate Child Survival and Disease Programs 
account in 1996, the previous language has been obsolete. The 
conference agreement is similar to the House provision, but 
includes new language regarding the use of up to $1,500,000 
from the ``Development Assistance'' account for technical 
experts.
Sec. 526. Democracy in China
      The conference agreement contains language from the House 
bill that authorizes the use of funds from ``Economic Support 
Fund'' for the support of nongovernmental organizations located 
outside of China for the support of democracy activities, and 
requires notification on the use of this authority. The Senate 
amendment did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement includes language that provides, 
notwithstanding any other provision of law that restricts 
assistance to foreign countries, $1,000,000 from the Economic 
Support Fund shall be made available to the Robert F. Kennedy 
Memorial Center for Human Rights for a project to disseminate 
information and support research about the People's Republic of 
China.
Sec. 537. Funding prohibition for Serbia
      The conference agreement includes House language that 
prohibits assistance for Serbia, except for aid to Kosovo or 
Montenegro or to promote democracy. The Senate amendment did 
not address this matter.
Sec. 538. Special authorities
      The conference agreement includes language proposed by 
the House that allows for funding from appropriations under 
title I for certain specified countries and activities, and for 
Montenegro, notwithstanding any other provision of law. The 
Senate amendment did not include these exemptions. It also 
includes language not in the House bill but in the Senate 
amendment that conditions assistance for Cambodia to the 
provisions of section 531(e) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
1961 and section 906 of the International Security and 
Development Cooperation Act of 1985.
      The conference agreement also includes House language 
that authorizes the President to waive for six months a 
provision of Public Law 100-204, if he determines and certifies 
that doing so is important to the national security interests 
of the United States. The Senate amendment did not address this 
matter.
Sec. 539. Policy on terminating the Arab League boycott of Israel
      The conference agreement contains House language on this 
matter. The Senate amendment did not include subsections (2) 
and (3) of the House general provision, dealing with the 
decision by the Arab League to reinstate the boycott in 1997, 
and calling on the League to immediately rescind its decision; 
and deleted language from subsection (4)(C) regarding a report 
on the specific steps that should be taken by the President to 
``expand the process of normalizing ties between Arab League 
countries and Israel''.
Sec. 540. Anti-narcotics activities
      The conference agreement contains House bill language 
waiving certain provisions of section 534 of the Foreign 
Assistance Act to allow for administration of justice programs 
in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Senate amendment 
contained a similar provision.
Sec. 541. Eligibility for assistance
      The conference agreement includes language regarding 
eligibility of assistance provided under this Act, as proposed 
by the House bill. The conference agreement does not include a 
modification, as proposed in the Senate amendment, regarding 
the prohibition on assistance to countries that violate 
internationally recognized human rights.
Sec. 544. Prohibition on publicity or propaganda
      The conference agreement maintains current law limiting 
to $750,000 the amount that may be made available to carry out 
the provision of section 316 of Public Law 96-533 relating to 
hunger and development education as proposed by the Senate 
amendment. The House bill provided no funding limitation.
Sec. 545. Purchase of American-made equipment and products
      The conference agreement includes language proposed in 
the Senate amendment directing the Secretary of the Treasury to 
report annually to Congress on compliance with this provision.
Sec. 546. Prohibition of payments to United Nations members
      The conference agreement modifies current law to prohibit 
the use of certain funds to pay the cost for attendance for 
another country's delegation at international conferences held 
under the auspices of multilateral or international 
organizations. This is similar to the House bill. The Senate 
amendment included a similar provision.
Sec. 549. Prohibition on assistance to foreign governments that export 
        lethal military equipment to countries supporting international 
        terrorism
      The conference agreement includes the Senate version of 
this general provision, which is the same as House language 
except that under subsection(a) the reference to ``any other 
comparable provision of law'' is deleted and under subsection (c) the 
word ``estimated'' is deleted.
Sec. 552. War crimes tribunals drawdown
      The conference agreement includes Senate language that 
authorizes a Presidential drawdown of up to $30,000,000 of 
commodities and services for the United Nations War Crimes 
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia or similar tribunals or 
commissions. It also specifies that such drawdowns are subject 
to the notification process and that drawdowns made under this 
section shall not be construed as an endorsement or precedent 
for the establishment of any standing or permanent 
international criminal tribunal or court. The House bill 
included similar language, but would not have exempted the 
tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda from the notification 
requirements of the provision as in the Senate amendment.
Sec. 553. Landmines
      The conference agreement includes language that amends 
section 1365(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484) by extending until 
October 23, 2003, the ban on the export of landmines.
Sec. 556. Competitive pricing for sales of defense articles
      The conference agreement includes language from the 
Senate amendment that provides that direct costs associated 
with meeting a foreign customer's additional or unique 
requirements will continue to be allowable under the Arms 
Export Control Act. The House bill did not address this matter.
Sec. 559. Limitation on assistance for Haiti
      The conference agreement includes language similar to 
that proposed by both Houses. It sunsets the required reports 
after two years as proposed by the House and includes a 
provision limiting the percentage of funds that can be 
allocated to any single Latin American or Caribbean country. 
The latter limitation is a separate general provision in 
current law and in the House bill. The limitation was not 
included in the Senate amendment.
Sec. 563. Limitation on assistance to the Palestinian Authority
      The conference agreement includes House language that 
prohibits funds for the Palestinian Authority unless the 
President certifies that waiving such prohibition is important 
to the national security interests of the United States. Such 
waiver shall apply no more than six months and shall not apply 
beyond 12 months after enactment. The Senate amendment did not 
address this matter.
Sec. 565. Limitations on transfer of military equipment to East Timor
      The conference agreement includes language from the 
Senate amendment that requires that in any agreement for 
military assistance or sales a statement shall be included that 
the items will not be used in East Timor. The House language 
included a proviso that stated nothing in this section shall be 
construed to limit Indonesia's inherent right to self-defense 
as recognized under the UN charter and in international law, 
and that military sales, assistance, or lease agreements 
include the statement that the United States ``expects'' that 
the military assistance will not be used in East Timor.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of State, in 
consultation with the Secretary of Defense and other 
appropriate agencies, to submit a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations not later than February 1, 2000, identifying all 
Indonesian commanding officers and units deployed in East Timor 
during 1999, and providing any available information linking 
those officers and units to the violence prior to and after the 
August 30, 1999 referendum in East Timor. Such report may be 
provided in classified form, if appropriate.
Sec. 566. Restrictions on assistance to countries providing sanctuary 
        to indicted war criminals
      The conference agreement includes language similar to 
that of the House bill. It substitutes the word 
``municipality'' for ``canton'', includes a special rule that 
allows for assistance to an entity that would otherwise be 
sanctioned under the terms of this section, and imposes certain 
recordkeeping requirements on the Secretary of State. The 
Senate amendment would have made a number of technical and 
substantive changes to the House bill, including: establishment 
of a policy for support of the International Criminal Tribunal 
for the former Yugoslavia; establishment of a special rule 
exempting certain specified entities and communities from 
sanctions under certain provisions of this section; a 
requirement for public information regarding certain assistance 
provided to the countries in the former Yugoslavia; and a 
provision for certain exemptions by types of assistance. The 
conference agreement defines ``Montenegro'' and ``Kosova'' 
separately for purposes of applying this provision of law.
Sec. 568. Greenhouse gas emissions
      The conference agreement includes a modification of 
current laws as proposed by the House, primarily to obtain more 
detailed information from AID is an annual report submitted by 
the President.
Sec. 569. Excess defense articles for certain European countries
      The conference agreement includes language from the 
Senate amendment that extends a provision of permanent law that 
expired in 1997 through 2000. The law authorizes the provision 
of excess defense articles to certain European countries. The 
House bill did not address this matter.
Sec. 570. Aid to the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo
      The conference agreement prohibits any assistance to the 
central Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo as 
proposed in the Senate amendment. The House bill included a 
similar provision.
Sec. 571. Assistance for the Middle East
      The conference agreement contains language similar to the 
House bill that imposes a spending ceiling of $5,321,150,000 on 
specified assistance for the Middle East. The Senate amendment 
did not address this matter.
Sec. 572. Enterprise fund restrictions
      The conference agreement includes language in the House 
bill that was not in the Senate amendment that requires that, 
prior to the distribution of any assets resulting from any 
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of an Enterprise Fund, 
in whole or in part, the President shall submit a plan for the 
distribution of the assets of the Enterprise Fund to the 
Committees on Appropriations in accordance with regular 
notification procedures.
Sec. 573. Cambodia
      The conference agreement includes language that prohibits 
funds for the central Government of Cambodia and states that 
the Secretary of Treasury should instruct the Executive 
Directors of international financial institutions to use the 
voice and vote of the United States to oppose loans to that 
government. The House bill contained similar language, but 
would have imposed the funding prohibition on all government 
assistance. The Senate amendment would have required the 
Secretary of the Treasury to instruct U.S. executive directors 
of international financial institutions to use the voice and 
vote of the U.S. to oppose loans to the Government of Cambodia, 
except to support basic human needs, unless: (1) Cambodia has 
held free and fair elections; (2) all political candidates were 
permitted freedom of speech, assembly, and equal access to the 
media; (3) the Central Election Commission was comprised of 
representatives from all parties, and (4) the Government had 
begun the prosecution of Khmer Rouge leaders to include six 
named individuals. The Senate also addressed this matter under 
title II.
      It is the intention of the managers that if the 
Administration proposes to provide assistance to of through 
provincial or municipal governments in Cambodia it will first 
consult with the appropriate committees of the Congress prior 
to the obligation of funds.
Sec. 574. Customs assistance
      The conference agreement amends the Foreign Assistance 
Act of 1961 regarding the prohibition on the use of certain 
bilateral assistance for police training by allowing assistance 
to foreign customs authorities and personnel, including 
training, technical assistance, and equipment fro customs law 
enforcement. The conference agreement is identical to the 
Senate amendment. The House bill did not address this matter.
      The managers expect this authority to be exercised to 
support U.S. private sector trade and investment opportunities.
Sec. 575. Foreign military training report
      The conference agreement includes language similar to 
that in the House bill requiring a joint report by the 
Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense on all overseas 
military training (excluding military sales) provided to non-
NATO foreign military personnel under programs administered by 
the Departments of Defense and State during 1999 and 2000, 
including those proposed for 2000. The language specifies the 
scope of the report, and allows for a classified annex, if 
deemed necessary and appropriate. The report shall be due no 
later than March 1, 2000. TheSenate amendment included similar 
language, but did not provide for an exemption for NATO countries.
Sec. 576. Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO)
      The conference agreement includes language similar to 
that in the House bill that up to $15,000,000 may be made 
available for KEDO prior to June 1, 2000, if, 30 days prior to 
such obligation of funds, the President certifies and so 
reports to Congress that (1) the parties to the Agreed 
Framework have taken and continue to take demonstrable steps to 
implement the Joint Declaration on Denuclearization of Korea; 
(2) the parties have taken and continue to take demonstrable 
steps to pursue the North-South dialogue; (3) North Korea is 
complying with all provisions of the Agreed Framework; (4) 
North Korea has not diverted assistance for purposes for which 
it was not intended; and (5) North Korea is not seeking to 
develop or acquire the capability to enrich uranium, or any 
additional capability to reprocess spent nuclear fuel. In 
addition, up to $20,000,000 may be made available for KEDO on 
or after June 1, 2000, if, 30 days prior to the obligation of 
such funds, the President certifies and so reports to Congress 
that (1) the effort to can and safely store all spent fuel from 
North Korea's nuclear reactors has been successfully concluded; 
(2) North Korea is complying with its obligations regarding 
access to suspect underground construction; (3) North Korea has 
terminated its nuclear weapons program, including all efforts 
to acquire, develop, test, produce, or deploy such weapons, and 
(4) the United States has made and continues to make 
significant progress on eliminating the North Korean ballistic 
missile threat, including further missile tests and its 
ballistic missile exports. The language allows for the 
President to waive the certification requirements of this 
section if he determines that it is vital to the national 
security interests of the United States, 30 days after a 
written submission to the appropriate congressional committees. 
It also requires a report from the Secretary of State on the 
fiscal year 2001 budget request for KEDO, with certain 
specified information to be included in such report.
      The House bill contained identical language, except it 
did not allow for the use of certain authorities of the Foreign 
Assistance Act to provide for a reprogramming of funds above 
the level of $35,000,000 specified for KEDO.
      The Senate amendment contained language similar to the 
House bill. In addition, it required a report from the Director 
of Central Intelligence on all relevant intelligence bearing on 
North Korea's compliance with the above provisions; specified 
the timing of the report; and specified the types of 
intelligence covered by the report.
Sec. 577. African Development Foundation
      The conference agreement provides that funds to grantees 
of the Foundation may be invested pending expenditure and that 
interest earned must be used for the same purpose for which the 
grant was made. Further, this section allows the Foundation's 
board of directors, in exceptional circumstances, to waive the 
existing $250,000 project limitation, subject to reporting to 
the Committees on Appropriations. This section is identical to 
the House bill. The Senate amendment included these same 
authorities within its ``Development Assistance'' account.
Sec. 578. Prohibition on assistance to the Palestinian Broadcasting 
        Corporation
      The conference agreement includes House language not in 
the Senate amendment that provides that none of the funds made 
available by this Act may be used to provide equipment, 
technical support, consulting services, or any other form of 
assistance to the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation.
Sec. 579. Voluntary separation incentives for employees of the U.S. 
        Agency for International Development
      The conference agreement provides for the payment of 
voluntary separation incentives to AID employees for the 
purpose of eliminating positions and functions at AID. The 
conference agreement is similar to the Senate amendment. The 
House bill did not address this matter.
      The managers have included in this section a requirement 
that the AID administrator submit to the Committees on 
Appropriations, in addition to the Office of Management and 
Budget, a strategic plan outlining the intended use of 
incentive payments and a proposed organizational chart for AID 
once such incentives payments have been completed. The managers 
direct that AID consult regularly with the Committee on 
Appropriations on the strategic plan prior to implementing the 
separation program authorized by this section. Consistent with 
the Administration's request, the managers expect this 
authority to be used by AID to reduce its employment levels in 
Washington, D.C.
Sec. 580. Iraq opposition
      The conference report includes language similar to that 
in the House bill and the Senate amendment that, 
notwithstanding any other provision of law, $10,000,000 shall 
be made available to support efforts to bring about political 
transition in Iraq, of which not less than $8,000,000 shall be 
made available only to Iraqi opposition groups designated under 
the Iraq Liberation Act (Public Law 105-338), for political, 
economic, humanitarian, and other activities of such groups. It 
also provides that not more than $2,000,000 of such funds may 
be made available for groups and activities seeking the 
prosecution of Saddam Hussein and other Iraqi government 
officials for war crimes.
      The conference agreement does not contain Senate language 
providing $250,000 for the Iraq Foundation. However, the 
conferees believe that the Foundation should receive funding 
made available by this Act for activities associated with 
pursuing war crimes.
Sec. 581. Agency for International Development budget submission
      The conference agreement instructs the Agency for 
International Development to submit its 2001 budget in a format 
more useful to the Committees as proposed by the House. The 
Senate did not address this matter.
Sec. 582 American churchwomen in El Salvador
      The conference agreement includes language regarding the 
murder of four American churchwomen in El Salvador. The 
conference agreement requires a report from the Attorney 
General to the Committees on Appropriations and requires the 
President to order all Federal agencies and departments that 
possess relevant information to make every effort to declassify 
and release that information to the victims' families. The 
House bill and Senate amendment included similar provisions.
Sec. 583. Kyoto Protocol
      The conference agreement includes language regarding the 
Kyoto Protocol to the Framework Agreement on Global Climate 
Change as proposed by the House. The Senate amendment did not 
address this matter.
Sec. 584. Additional requirements relating to stockpiling of defense 
        articles for foreign countries
      The conference agreement includes language from the 
Senate amendment not in the House bill that amends the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961 to provide authority to increase the war 
reserve stockpiles in Korea and Thailand by $60,000,000 for 
fiscal year 2000.
Sec. 585. Russian leadership program
      The conference agreement includes new language amending 
the statutory authority for the Russian Leadership Exchange 
Program.
Sec. 586. Abolition of the Inter-American Foundation
      The conference agreement provides authority from the 
President to abolish the Inter-American Foundation and 
terminate its functions. The House bill and Senate amendment 
did not address this matter.
Sec. 587. West Bank and Gaza Program
      The conference agreement includes language that provides 
that, 30 days prior to the initial obligation of funds for the 
bilateral West Bank and Gaza Program, the Secretary of State 
shall certify to the appropriate committees of Congress that 
procedures have been established to assure the Comptroller 
General of the United States will have access to appropriate 
United States financial information in order to review the uses 
of United States assistance for the programs funded under 
``Economic Support Fund'' for the West Bank and Gaza Program.
      The Senate amendment included language that specified 
requirements for auditing assistance that may be provided to 
the Palestinian Authority. The House bill did not address this 
matter.
Sec. 588. Human rights assistance
      The conference agreement includes language providing 
recommendations on the use of funds available from the 
``International Narcotics Control'' account. The language 
states that not less than $500,000 should be provided to the 
Colombia Attorney General's Human Rights unit; not less than 
$500,000 should be made available to support Colombian 
nongovernmental organizations involved in human rights 
monitoring, particularly to assist in protecting the physical 
safety of their personnel; and not less than $250,000 should be 
made available to the United Nations High Commissioner for 
Human Rights for human rights assistance for the Colombian 
government. Further, not less than $1,000,000 should be 
provided for assistance to enhance U.S. embassy monitoring of 
assistance to Colombian security forces and in responding to 
reports of human rights violations. The conference agreement 
also includes language that not less than $5,000,000 should be 
made available for administration of justice programs, 
including support for the Colombia Attorney General's Technical 
Investigations Unit. The managers direct the Department of 
State's Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement 
Affairs to report to the Committees on Appropriations not later 
than January 15, 2000, regarding its plans to meet the 
requirements of this section.
Sec. 589. East Timor self-determination
      The conference agreement includes new language on East 
Timor self-determination instead of language in the Senate 
amendment. The House did not address this matter. The 
conference substitute limits certain security-related 
assistance to Indonesia until the President certifies that 
seven conditions relating to East Timor have been met. All 
other assistance in the Act that the Administration may make 
available for Indonesia is subject to the regular notification 
procedures of the Committees.
Sec. 590. Man and the Biosphere Program
      The conference agreement prohibits funds for the United 
Nations Man and the Biosphere Program and the World Heritage 
Fund for programs in the United States. This is similar to the 
House bill. The Senate did not address this matter.
Sec. 591. Immunity for the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
      The conference agreement includes language that provides 
that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia shall be deemed to be a 
state sponsor of terrorism for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. 
1605(a)(7). The section shall not apply to Montenegro or 
Kosova, and shall become null and void when the President 
certifies in writing to the Congress that the Federal Republic 
of Yugoslavia (other than Montenegro and Kosova) has completed 
a democratic reform process that results in a newly elected 
government that respects the rights of ethnic minorities, is 
committed to the rule of law and respects the sovereignty of 
its neighbor states. However, the language provides that the 
certification shall not affect the continuation of ongoing 
litigation.
      The Senate amendment would have applied all sanctions 
applicable to a terrorist state to the Federal Republic of 
Yugoslavia. The House bill did not address this matter.
Sec. 592. United States assistance policy for opposition-controlled 
        areas of Sudan
      The conference agreement provides the President the 
authority to provide food assistance to groups engaged in the 
protection of civilian populations in opposition-controlled 
areas of Sudan. In support of this effort, the managers urge 
AID to provide up to $500,000 for the People-to-People peace 
and reconciliation process designed to unite ethnic groups and 
communities in southern Sudan. Further, the conference 
agreement requires the President to submit to the Committees on 
Appropriations a report on United States bilateral assistance 
to opposition-controlled areas of Sudan. The managers expect 
this report to be provided in both classified and unclassified 
forms, if necessary. The report is to include an accounting of 
U.S. assistance to opposition-controlled areas of Sudan in 
certain fiscal years and the goals and objectives of such 
assistance. Further, the President is to report on the policy 
implications, costs, and sources of funds associated with 
providing humanitarian assistance, including food, directly to 
National Democratic Alliance participants and the U.S. agencies 
best suited to administer these activities. Also, the President 
is to report on the policy implications of increasing 
substantially the amount of development assistance for certain 
activities in opposition-controlled areas of Sudan, the 
identification (by organization) of all proposed beneficiaries 
of suchassistance, and the obstacles to administering a 
development assistance program in this region.
      The Senate amendment included three provisions relating 
to U.S. assistance programs in opposition-controlled areas of 
Sudan. The House bill did not address this matter.
Sec. 593. Consultations on arms sales to Taiwan
      The conference agreement includes Senate language that 
directs the Secretary of State to consult with the Congress 
regarding a mechanism to provide for congressional input into 
the nature or quantity of defense articles and services for 
Taiwan. The House bill did not address this matter.
Sec. 594. Authorizations
      The conference agreement authorizes appropriations for 
various international financial institutions, as proposed in 
the Senate amendment. The House did not address this matter.
Sec. 595. Working capital fund
      The conference agreement provides AID limited authority 
to create a working capital fund, without fiscal year 
limitation, for expenses of the International Cooperative 
Administrative Support Services (ICASS) and for rebates from 
the use of U.S. government credit cards. The managers view this 
fund as a pilot project, the long-term viability of which will 
be evaluated during fiscal year 2000. Further, the managers 
expect this activity to be undertaken primarily by those AID 
missions in which AID has already determined that it is best 
suited to serve as the ICASS provider. The managers understand 
that creation of this Fund will allow AID to receive an 
estimated $250,000 in credit card rebates in fiscal year 2000, 
which are expected to be credited to its ``Operating Expenses'' 
account.
      The managers expect AID to consult regularly with the 
Appropriations Committees about the status of the working 
capital fund and its effectiveness.
Sec. 596. Silk Road Strategy Act of 1999
      The conference agreement is the same as the Senate 
amendment regarding policy toward Central Asia, with the 
addition of language relating to trade disputes.
Sec. 597. Country reports on human rights practices
      The conference agreement includes language, similar to 
the Senate amendment, which amends the Foreign Assistance Act 
of 1961 to require that the annual State Department ``Country 
Reports on Human Rights Practices'' include a new section 
regarding the trafficking in persons, especially women and 
children. The House did not address this matter.
Sec. 598. OPIC maritime fund
      The conference agreement expresses the sense of the 
Congress that the Overseas Private Investment Corporation shall 
within one year from the date of enactment of this Act select a 
fund manager for the purpose of creating a maritime fund with 
total capitalization of up to $200,000,000. This fund shall 
leverage United States commercial maritime expertise to support 
international maritime projects.
Sec. 599. Sanctions against Serbia
      The conference report includes language similar to that 
in the Senate amendment that requires that a number of 
specified sanctions against Serbia remain in place until a 
certification is issued by the President. The certification 
requires that Serbia comply with a number of international 
agreements, and provides an exemption for Montenegro and Kosova 
for the sanctions imposed through international financial 
institutions. It also allows for a waiver of all sanctions if 
necessary to meet emergency humanitarian needs or to achieve a 
negotiated settlement that is acceptable to the parties.
      The House bill did not address this matter.
Sec. 599A. Clean coal technology
      The conference agreement includes a section contained in 
the Senate amendment making a number of Congressional findings 
regarding clean coal technology. The House bill did not address 
this matter.
Sec. 599B. Restriction on United States assistance for certain 
        reconstruction efforts in the Balkans region
      The conference agreement includes language that provides 
that funds made available by this Act for assistance for 
reconstruction efforts in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia or 
any contiguous country should to the maximum extent practicable 
be used for the procurement of articles and services of United 
States origin. Under the terms of this section, the term 
``article'' means any agricultural commodity, steel, 
communications equipment, farm machinery or petrochemical 
refinery equipment.
      The Senate amendment would have prohibited the use of 
reconstruction funds in this Act for the former Yugoslavia or 
any contiguous country for the procurement of any article 
purchased outside the United States, the recipient country, or 
least developed countries, or any service provided by a foreign 
person, subject to certain exceptions. The House bill did not 
address this matter.
Sec. 599C. United Nations Population Fund
      The conference agreement provides that, of amounts under 
``International Organizations and Programs'', not more than 
$25,000,000 for fiscal year 2000 shall be available for the 
United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA) subject to certain 
prohibitions and conditions. This section prohibits funds for 
the UNFPA from being made available for a country program in 
the People's Republic of China. Also, fiscal year 2000 funds 
are prohibited for UNFPA unless (1) UNFPA maintains these funds 
in an account separate from other UNFPA accounts (2) UNFPA does 
not commingle these funds with other sums and (3) UNFPA does 
not fund abortions.
      This section requires that the Secretary of State report 
to Congress not later than February 15, 2000, indicating the 
amount of funds that the UNFPA is budgeting for the year in 
which the report is submitted for a country program in the 
People's Republic of China. If this report indicates that the 
UNFPA plans to spend funds for a country program in the 
People's Republic of China in the year covered by the report, 
then the amount of such funds that the UNFPA plans to spend in 
China shall be deducted from the funds made available to the 
UNFPA after March 1 for obligation for the remainder of the 
fiscal year in which the report was submitted.
      This section is identical to the House bill. The Senate 
amendment included similar language.
Sec. 599D. Authorization for population planning
      The conference agreement includes language that provides 
a limitation of $385,000,000 from funds appropriated in title 
II of this Act for population planning activities or other 
population assistance. In addition, such funds may be 
apportioned only on a monthly basis at a rate not to exceed 
8.34 percent per month. The Senate amendment contained language 
under ``Development Assistance'' that provided for not less 
than $435,000,000 for such activities.

                PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED BY THE CONFEREES

                Distinguished Development Service Award

      The conference agreement does not include the section in 
the Senate amendment regarding the distinguished development 
service award. The House bill did not address this matter.

Withholding Assistance to Countries Violating United Nations Sanctions 
                             Against Libya

      The conference agreement deletes a House provision that 
imposed a reduction in United States assistance of at least 5 
percent when a country violates specified United Nations 
sanctions against Libya. The Senate amendment did not address 
this matter. The provision is no longer relevant, since the 
United Nations has suspended the application of sanctions 
against Libya.

 Limitation on Funds for Foreign Organizations that Perform or Promote 
                               Abortions

      The conference agreement does not include a provision 
contained in the House bill which would have restored, in part, 
the ``Mexico City'' policy regarding restrictions on U.S. 
assistance to foreign organizations that perform or actively 
promote abortion, including lobbying or any other effort to 
alter laws of any foreign country concerning abortion. The 
Senate did not address this matter.

   Restriction on Population Planning Activities or other Population 
                               Assistance

      The conference agreement does not include a provision 
contained in the House bill which would have prohibited funds 
for population planning activities for foreign nongovernmental 
organizations under certain conditions.

                 Sense of the Senate Regarding Colombia

      The conference agreement does not include a section 
contained in the Senate amendment regarding Colombia.

    Assistance To Promote Democracy and Civil Society in Yugoslavia

      The conference agreement deletes language from the Senate 
amendment that provided general authority to promote democracy 
and civil society in Yugoslavia, including an authorization of 
appropriations of $100,000,000; included a prohibition on 
assistance to the Government of Serbia; and included authority 
to provide assistance to the Government of Montenegro subject 
to certain conditions. The House bill did not address this 
matter.

Limitation on Use of Funds for Purchase of Products Not Made in America

      The conference agreement does not include language from 
the House bill that prohibits funds from titles I, II, or III 
for any foreign government if the funds are used to purchase 
equipment or products made in a country other than the foreign 
country itself or from the United States. The Senate amendment 
did not address this matter.
      This issue is further addressed in section 545 of the 
conference report, ``Purchase of American-Made Equipment and 
Products''.

            Limitation on Assistance for School of Americas

      The conference agreement does not contain language from 
the House bill that would have prohibited funding for the 
School of the Americas located at Fort Benning, Georgia. The 
Senate amendment did not address this matter.

            To Promote an International Arms Transfer Regime

      The conference agreement does not include language from 
the Senate amendment that would have authorized the president 
to continue and expand efforts through the United Nations and 
other international fora to limit arms transfers worldwide, and 
that specified the transfers that should be limited. The Senate 
language would also have required a semiannual report on 
progress in such negotiations to accomplish this goal. The 
House bill did not address this matter.

   Sense of the Senate Regarding United States Commitments Under the 
               United States-North Korea Agreed Framework

      The conference agreement deletes Senate language that 
expressed the Sense of the Senate regarding the Agreed 
Framework and deliveries of heavy fuel oil to KEDO and North 
Korea. The House bill did not address this matter.

   Sense of the Senate Regarding an International Conference on the 
                                Balkans

      The conference agreement deletes Senate language 
expressing the Sense of the Senate regarding the need for an 
international conference on the Balkans. The House bill did not 
address this matter.

                    Accountability of Saddam Hussein

      The conference agreement deletes Senate language 
regarding accountability for Saddam Hussein. The House bill did 
not address this matter.
      The managers agree with the intent of the language of the 
Senate amendment on the need for accountability on the part of 
Saddam Hussein.

Sense of the Senate Regarding Assistance Provided to Lithuania, Latvia, 
                              and Estonia

      The conference agreement deletes Senate language that 
expressed the Sense of the Senate that assistance to the Baltic 
nations should not be interpreted as expressing the will of the 
Senate to accelerate membership of those nations into NATO.

 Sense of the Senate Regarding Assistance Under the Camp David Accords

      The conference agreement deletes Senate language 
expressing the Sense of the Senate on assistance under the Camp 
David accords. The House bill did not address this matter.

 Sense of Congress in Management of United States Interests in Ukraine

      The conference agreement deletes Senate language 
expressing the Sense of the Congress in management of U.S. 
interests in Ukraine. The House bill did not address this 
matter.

          Sense of the Senate on the Citizens Democracy Corps

      The conference agreement deletes Senate language 
expressing the Sense of the Senate on the Citizens Democracy 
Corps. The House bill did not address this matter.

    Control and Eliminate the International Problem of Tuberculosis

      The conference agreement deletes Senate language 
expressing the Sense of the Senate on elimination of the 
international problem of tuberculosis. The House bill did not 
address this matter.

  Limitation on Assistance to the Government of the Russian Federation

      The conference agreement does not include language 
contained in the House bill limiting assistance to the 
government of the Russian Federation at $172,000,000. The 
Senate amendment did not include a similar provision. This 
matter is addressed in title II under the heading ``Assistance 
to the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union''.

                       Expanded Threat Reduction

      The conference agreement does not include two sections 
from the Senate amendment regarding the Expanded Threat 
Reduction Initiative. The House bill did not contain similar 
provisions.
