                              INTRODUCTION

    In fiscal year 2000, the Committee provided $13,732,098,000 
for foreign operations and related programs. This year, the 
Committee has provided $13,428,618,000 for foreign operations 
and related programs of which $13,384,129,000 is for 
discretionary spending, $44,489,000 is for mandatory spending. 
The request level not only substantially exceeds last year's 
level, but also does not permit the Committee to comply with 
the Balanced Budget Act signed by President Clinton in 1997.

                                TITLE I

                           EXPORT ASSISTANCE

                Export-Import Bank of the United States

                         subsidy appropriation

Appropriations, 2000....................................    $759,000,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................     963,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     768,000,000

                        administrative expenses

Appropriations, 2000....................................     $55,000,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................      63,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      58,000,000

    The Committee has increased support over the fiscal year 
2000 appropriated level for the Export Import Bank to 
$768,000,000 for direct loans, loan guarantees, insurance, and 
tied-aid grants. The Committee has also increased 
administrative expenses above last year's level to $58,000,000. 
Both increases reflect expanding requirements to sustain 
export-led economic growth.
    During the review of loans and guarantees, officials at the 
Export-Import Bank have indicated that corruption and issues 
related to good governance are neither routinely taken into 
consideration by Bank officers or the Board nor relied upon as 
the basis for rejecting an application for a loan, guarantee, 
or insurance. Consistent with their interpretation of the 
Bank's Charter, officials have determined that the primary 
factor which should influence the availability of financing is 
the commercial credit worthiness of the transaction. Supporting 
this view, Bank officials point to the institution's Charter 
which states, ``Only in cases where the President determines 
that such action would be in the national interest and would 
clearly advance United States policy in such areas as 
international terrorism, nuclear proliferation, environmental 
protection and human rights (including child labor) should the 
Export Import Bank deny applications of credit for nonfinancial 
or noncommercial considerations.''
    The Committee believes that the list of conditions 
providing the basis for the denial of credit is illustrative 
not exclusive in intent. The Charter states that denial of 
credit can be made ``in such areas as'' which may include areas 
in addition to the concerns identified.
    The Committee believes risks related to corruption and 
unethical or illegal business practices should also be 
considered as reasons for the denial of credit. The Committee 
is concerned that failure to take these risks into 
consideration in a number of countries, especially Indonesia, 
have resulted in the extension of credit with potential 
liability or losses of serious consequence to the Bank's 
financial security.
    The Committee directs the Bank to review its policies and 
practices to determine how best to include concerns regarding 
corruption and good governance in decisions regarding the 
extension of credit. The Committee requests a report from the 
Bank's Office of General Counsel no later than February 1, 
2001, establishing new guidelines which require that the risks 
of corruption to be considered by Bank officials when reviewing 
financing applications. If the Bank determines such standards 
cannot be considered because of a narrow interpretation of the 
Charter, the Committee requests an explanation of appropriate 
statutory language the Bank deems necessary to allow for good 
governance standards to be included in such reviews.

    The Committee recommends $24,000,000 for the subsidy cost 
of OPIC's direct and guaranteed loans. In addition, the 
Committee recommends $38,000,000 for administrative expenses. 
The Committee expects the increase in administrative expenses 
to be dedicated to oversight of the existing overseas 
portfolio.
    The Committee strongly encourages continued support through 
OPIC, as well as the Export-Import Bank and the Trade and 
Development Agency, for Southeast Europe and Caspian outreach 
and to expand the focus to include the trade initiative between 
the Appalachian states and Turkey. This effort should include 
investment missions, conferences focused on the region, and 
project specific activities such as support for small business.

                                TITLE II

                     BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

    The amounts listed in the above table for fiscal year 2000 
appropriations, the fiscal year 2001 budget estimate, and the 
Committee recommendation include funding appropriated or 
requested under child survival and disease programs, 
development assistance, AID operating expenses, Inspector 
General operating expenses, mandatory retirement expenses, the 
African Development Foundation, the Inter-American Foundation, 
international disaster assistance, micro and small enterprise 
development, and housing and other credit guarantee programs. 
Once again, the Committee has maximized flexibility by 
consolidating accounts.

                         DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2000....................................  $1,833,000,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................   2,141,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,019,250,000

                             GLOBAL HEALTH

    The Committee supports a comprehensive approach to 
protecting global health, and strongly supports AID's efforts 
to build the local capacity in developing countries to conduct 
routine surveillance of health conditions, provide effective 
health care and promote better health. This is not only an 
effective way to reduce poverty and the social, economic and 
political instability it causes, but it protects Americans from 
deadly infections which are easily transmitted across national 
borders. This approach targets the special health needs of 
children, as well as pregnant women, families and communities. 
The Committee has provided a total of $651,000,000 in 
Development Assistance funds for global health activities. 
(Funding for UNICEF of $110,000,000 is provided under the 
International Organizations and Programs account, and funding 
for children's basic education is provided from other 
Development Assistance funds.)

                     HEALTH OF CHILDREN AND MOTHERS

    The Committee notes that despite major successes in 
reducing child mortality and improving children's health, more 
than 10 million children die annually from preventable causes, 
including infectious diseases, conditions during the neo-natal 
period, and malnutrition. The Committee supports maximum 
assistance to improve the health of children worldwide. The 
Committee is also aware that pregnancy-related deaths exceed 
600,000 annually, most of which are preventable. Like last 
year, the Committee recommends that at least $50,000,000 be 
provided for maternal health programs in fiscal year 2001, and 
that additional funding be made available specifically to 
reduce pregnancy-related deaths.

                          INFECTIOUS DISEASES

    The Committee is aware that one-third of all deaths each 
year worldwide (13 million people) are caused by infectious 
diseases, and that many of the victims are children. For the 
past 3 years, the Committee has provided additional funding to 
implement AID's infectious disease initiative, focusing on 
surveillance, anti-microbial resistance, tuberculosis and 
malaria, implemented through AID, the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and 
others. The Committee expects AID to increase funding for 
infectious disease prevention and control programs in fiscal 
year 2001.

                                HIV/AIDS

    The Committee is encouraged by the surge of interest in 
Congress and the Administration in assisting developing 
countries, especially in Africa and Asia, that are suffering 
immense social and economic hardship from HIV/AIDS. The 
Committee notes, however, that international efforts in 
education, prevention, and control must be agreed to and 
supported by host governments if they are to succeed. The 
current controversy over an appropriate AIDS strategy in South 
Africa illustrates the Committee's concerns. The Committee has 
supported HIV/AIDS prevention and control programs for many 
years, and has provided $225,000,000 in Development Assistance 
funds for these activities in fiscal year 2001.
    The Committee is concerned about the increasing numbers of 
infants who are infected with HIV through breast feeding. The 
Committee urges AID to support programs which make available to 
HIV-positive nursing mothers the appropriate practical tools 
and information to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV. 
The Committee continues to support UNAIDS, which has programs 
in many countries in which AID does not have programs.

                              MICROBICIDES

    The Committee recognizes that there is an urgent need for 
HIV and STD prevention methods within women's personal control. 
Since the early 1990s, ``topical microbicides'' have emerged as 
a promising new method for preventing STDs, including HIV. AID 
has been an active participant in the International Working 
Group on Microbicides that helps to ensure that microbicide 
research is effectively designed and implemented. Currently, 
AID invests only $2,300,000 annually on microbicides. The 
Committee is aware that some 20 potential products are in 
various stages of development, and that funds are urgently 
needed to conduct clinical trials. The Committee believes that 
microbicides should be given a higher priority within AID's 
HIV/AIDS prevention program, and has provided $15,000,000 for 
microbicides research and development in fiscal year 2001. The 
Committee requests to be consulted prior to the obligation of 
these funds.

                              TUBERCULOSIS

    The Committee notes that over 8 million people are infected 
with tuberculosis (TB) each year, of whom more than 2 million 
die. AID's programs, designed in conjunction with the World 
Health Organization (WHO), the American Lung Association, and 
others, have been effective in combating this deadly disease. 
The Committee applauds this progress, but notes that multi-drug 
resistant TB is spreading and is now established in Western 
countries. Treating drug resistant TB is vastly more expensive 
and difficult than treating normal TB. The best way to combat 
this ominous trend is to expand the Directly Observed Therapy-
Short Course (DOTS) approach of WHO, AID and others. The 
Committee understands that AID currently spends less than 
$20,000,000 on TB prevention and treatment programs, and 
recommends $41,000,000 for these activities in fiscal year 
2001. The Committee recommends USAID provide $2,000,000 to the 
Gorgas Memorial Institute Initiative for Tuberculosis Control.

                                MALARIA

    The Committee is aware that malaria, which each year 
afflicts 500 million people, is among the most deadly and 
debilitating diseases in sub-Saharan Africa and other 
developing countries. The Committee directs AID to 
significantly expand its support for malaria-prevention and 
control programs. The Committee recommends $65,000,000 for 
these activities in fiscal year 2001.

             GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR VACCINES AND IMMUNIZATION

    The Committee is aware that millions of children die each 
year because they do not receive life-saving immunizations. The 
Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) was formed 
as a collaborative effort of UNICEF, the World Health 
Organization, the World Bank, private foundations, bilateral 
aid agencies (including AID), industry representatives, and 
developing countries, to address urgent, global health 
priorities, especially the immunization of children. The 
Committee strongly supports the GAVI initiative and notes that 
the Administration requested $50,000,000 for a U.S. 
contribution to the Global Fund for Children's Vaccines to 
support the GAVI initiative in fiscal year 2001. The Committee 
has provided this amount.

                           POLIO ERADICATION

    The Committee appreciates AID's strong support for the 
multilateral effort to eradicate polio, and is aware that this 
effort will cost another $300,000,000 and is expected to be 
completed in another 2-4 years. The Committee believes it is 
essential that this goal be achieved and expects AID to provide 
not less than $30,000,000 in fiscal year 2001 ($5,000,000 more 
than in previous years) as a signal to other donors to also 
increase their contributions. The administration should use its 
influence with other governments in order to accomplish this. 
The Committee requests AID to report to the Committee on its 
efforts and results by March 15, 2001.

                               VITAMIN A

    The Committee supports increased funding for programs for 
vitamin A, iodine and other micronutrient deficiencies. Vitamin 
A is a low cost solution to easily preventable childhood 
diseases. The Committee recommends that AID provide at least 
$30,000,000, a $5,000,000 increase above last year's level, to 
significantly expand the micronutrient program.

                           IODINE DEFICIENCY

    The Committee is aware that iodine deficiency is the 
leading preventable cause of mental retardation in children. 
Kiwanis International has joined with UNICEF to virtually 
eliminate iodine deficiency throughout the world. Private 
funding raised by Kiwanis International is already saving more 
than 10 million children a year from mental retardation. The 
Committee recommends that AID provide at least $2,500,000 in 
Child Survival funds and $2,500,000 in funds for Eastern Europe 
and the NIS to help meet this goal.

                 ORPHANS, DISPLACED, AND BLIND CHILDREN

    The Committee recommends $12,000,000 for the displaced 
children and orphans fund. The Committee has again provided 
authority to use up to $25,000 in program funds for displaced 
and orphaned children and victims of war, to enable the AID 
office responsible for the design and management of these 
programs to monitor and oversee their implementation. AID is 
also encouraged to use other OEU resources as necessary to 
further the effectiveness of the oversight of these programs.

                            ROMANIAN ORPHANS

    The Committee commends AID for its collaboration with the 
Romanian Government and Romanian nongovernmental organizations 
in developing a program to reform Romania's child welfare 
system and deinstitutionalize some 130,000 Romanian children 
living in orphanages and hospitals. The Committee recommends 
$5,000,000 for the continuation and expansion of this program 
using resources drawn from both the Development Assistance and 
SEED accounts.

                       CHILDREN'S BASIC EDUCATION

    The Committee recommends not less than $100,000,000 for 
basic education for children, which is fundamental to long-term 
development. The Committee remains interested in addressing the 
educational needs of children who are in or leaving situations 
of hazardous and exploitative child labor.

                               STREETWISE

    The Committee is aware that for the past 6 years the 
Streetwise Program has been providing children from the slums 
of Nairobi, Kenya with educational opportunities that have 
allowed them to take advantage of economic opportunities 
previously out of reach. The Committee encourages AID to 
provide $50,000 for this program.

                          CHILD HEALTH SUMMIT

    The Committee supports efforts to promote children's health 
in the Middle East and believes that such efforts can provide a 
way for regional governments and professional organizations to 
work together. The Committee is aware of plans to organize a 
``Child Health Summit,'' which would include health ministers 
and non-governmental organizations committed to improving child 
health in the region, and encourages AID to provide $250,000 
for this initiative.

                      MOREHOUSE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

    Last year, the full Senate expressed its strong support for 
the creation of the International Center for Health and 
Development (ICHD) dedicated to forming local and international 
healthcare partnerships to help educate and train African 
healthcare workers and conduct research on methods to improve 
the long-term healthcare infrastructures in Africa. AID funds 
should supplement start up funds and allow for the expansion of 
the role of international health in Morehouse's current 
curriculum. The Committee expresses its support for the 
important effort being undertaken by the Morehouse School of 
Medicine in establishing the ICHD. When fully funded, this will 
complement AID's program objectives in this area. Therefore, 
the Committee expects AID to provide $5,500,000 for this HIV/
AIDS related public/private partnership.

                          WOMEN IN DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee continues to believe that investing in women 
is one of the most effective ways of achieving economic and 
social development. AID's Office of Women in Development is a 
focal point for ensuring that AID's policies and programs 
reflect the needs and engage the full participation of women. 
AID should routinely evaluate and take into account how its 
policies and programs may impact men and women differently. The 
Committee is disappointed that AID has not funded the WID 
office at the previously recommended level of $15,000,000 and 
expects AID to make best efforts to provide this amount in 
fiscal year 2001.
    The Committee is concerned about the lack of women with 
science and engineering degrees, particularly in developing 
nations. The Committee believes the United States should 
support international efforts to attract more women to these 
important professions so they may contribute to the development 
of their countries. The Committee recognizes the 
accomplishments of the International Women in Science and 
Engineering (IWISE) program at Iowa State University which has 
benefitted women scientists from around the world. The 
Committee recommends that $1,000,000 be provided to support 
programs sponsored by IWISE to expand opportunities for women 
scientists and engineers worldwide.
    The Committee is aware of the work of Women's Campaign 
International to provide political organizing and media 
training in emerging democracies, including the post-Soviet 
bloc countries and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The trainees have 
gone on to become actively involved in the democratic political 
life of their countries. The Committee encourages AID to 
support Women's Campaign International so it can continue and 
expand its activities in emerging democracies.

                   DISABILITY RIGHTS AND INTEGRATION

    In recognition of the 10th anniversary of the Americans 
with Disabilities Act, the Committee recommends that AID 
provide funds to help establish and facilitate an International 
Law and Policy Conference and network, run by non-governmental 
organizations with expertise in the development of disability-
rights law. The Conference and network would develop, promote 
and provide technical assistance to countries interested in 
advancing the integration of people with disabilities into 
civil society.

           U.S. TELECOMMUNICATIONS TRAINING INSTITUTE (USTTI)

    The Committee has provided $500,000 to USTTI. USTTI is a 
nonprofit joint venture between the public and private sectors 
dedicated to providing tuition free communications and 
broadcast training to professionals from around the world.

                   COMMUNITY-OWNED TELECOMMUNICATIONS

    The Committee recommends that AID support the development 
of community-owned telecommunications in its efforts to promote 
economic growth, private sector development, and greater 
agricultural productivity. As government telephone monopolies 
are privatized in developing countries it is particularly 
important that rural areas have access to telecommunications. 
The Committee urges AID to rely on the expertise of the U.S. 
telephone cooperatives that have expertise in this area.

                    PRIVATE VOLUNTARY ORGANIZATIONS

    The Committee has again included language in the bill that 
is intended to ensure that the level of funding to private and 
voluntary organizations (PVOs) is maintained at a strong level. 
This is consistent with current law and AID's commitment to 
enhance support for PVO's at a time when they are being 
increasingly called upon to implement U.S. foreign assistance 
programs.

                                ARTISANS

    The Committee continues to support micro-credit and other 
assistance to artisans in developing countries to improve the 
marketability of their products for local sale and export. The 
Committee is aware of the successful work of Aid to Artisans, 
and encourages AID to continue to support its work.

                 INTERNATIONAL EXECUTIVE SERVICE CORPS

    The Committee continues to strongly support the efforts of 
the International Executive Service Corps (IESC), and believes 
that AID has underutilized IESC's ability to promote economic 
growth and sustainable development. IESC's record of 
achievement dates to 1964 and includes more than 22,000 
projects in 120 countries, more than 1 million volunteer 
workdays, over $500,000,000 in donated services, 1 million jobs 
created, and $3,000,000,000 in client purchases from the United 
States.
    The Committee urges AID to take advantage of IESC's record 
of achievement by granting funds to IESC to enable the 
organization to expand its programs in Sub-Saharan Africa and 
renew its activities in Latin America and the Caribbean.

                   financial services volunteer corps

    The Committee continues to be supportive of the Financial 
Services Volunteer Corps (FSVC), a not-for-profit organization 
which utilizes the skills of volunteer American professionals 
to provide technical assistance to promote the development of 
transparent market-oriented economies. The Committee commends 
FSVC's cost-effective record of success and urges AID to 
support its programs in Central and Eastern Europe, the former 
Soviet Union and Asia.

                        MICROENTERPRISE PROGRAMS

    The Committee has included language identical to what was 
included in the fiscal year 2000 Foreign Operations Act, which 
requires that not less than one-half of the funds appropriated 
for AID's Microenterprise Initiative should be made available 
for programs providing loans of less than $300 to very poor 
people, particularly women, or for institutional support of 
organizations primarily engaged in making such loans.
    The Committee also recognizes the urgent need for micro-
credit programs in communities in sub-Saharan Africa devastated 
by HIV/AIDS, and requests AID to make special efforts to ensure 
that families affected by HIV/AIDS benefit from the 
Microenterprise Initiative.

                              AGRICULTURE

    Development of agriculture, food marketing and trade are 
central to U.S. domestic and foreign policy and directly 
support U.S. development goals. The Committee encourages AID to 
implement development projects that span the spectrum of the 
food system and address the nexus of agriculture with AID's 
other objectives. The Committee calls on AID to use, when 
appropriate, child survival, environment, women in development, 
microenterprise, economic growth and other funds for 
agriculture and food systems activities for greater impact and 
to achieve multiple objectives. The Committee encourages AID to 
take a more comprehensive approach to development and seek 
solutions to broad development issues rather than limiting its 
approach to narrowly defined problems and solutions.

                  AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH

    Within $310,000,000 in funds made available for 
agriculture, the Committee has provided $30,000,000, to support 
qualified institutions and initiatives on a competitive basis 
in plant biotechnology research and development that has direct 
applications to problems confronting farmers in developing 
countries. Possible projects include the development of 
nutritionally enhanced food, plant-based medicines, 
environmentally-friendly planting methods and solutions to 
unique local problems. The technology may be deployed for the 
purpose of building food and agriculture infrastructure by 
enhancing the understanding of the technologies potential.
    Within these resources the Committee has provided 
$1,000,000 for the International Laboratory for Tropical 
Agriculture Biotechnology (ILTAP), located on the campus of the 
University of Missouri-St. Louis to train scientists from 
Southeast Asia in methods to fight diseases threatening the 
food supply in the region. ILTAP is conducting research in 
diseases threatening crops important to the food supply in 
Southeast Asian nations, including rice, tomatoes and cassava. 
ILTAP can play a key role in training scientists from Southeast 
Asia in methods that will fight diseases threatening the food 
supply of that region. The countries that would benefit the 
most from this training are Thailand, Indonesia, the 
Philippines and Vietnam.
    In addition, the Committee has provided $1,000,000 to 
support research and train foreign scientists at the University 
of California-Davis. The researchers at UC Davis have programs 
prepared to address several important issues concerning crop 
agriculture in Central Africa. The projects include research 
into methods to control parasitic weeds that in some areas 
attack up to 90 percent of a harvest.
    The Committee has also provided $1,000,000 to establish a 
``Center to Promote Biotechnology in International 
Agriculture'' at Tuskegee University. This center will promote 
extension and outreach aimed at policy makers, media, farmers, 
and consumers in cooperation with local scientists. The 
emphasis should be to identify agricultural genetic technology 
applications crucial to combating hunger, malnutrition and 
boosting low incomes in rural areas.
    In addition, the Committee recommends:
  --$5,000,000 for the International Rice Research Institute in 
        the Philippines. The research will further development 
        of the new ``golden rice'' created to combat vitamin A 
        deficiency.
  --Up to $500,000 to train Thai researchers at the Donald 
        Danforth Plant Science Center to combat virus diseases 
        in tropical plants, including fungal diseases in 
        bananas and plantains.
  --Up to $500,000 be provided for research into bacterial and 
        virus problems related to rice including rice plast, 
        rice tungro, rice stamper, and bacterial leaf blight in 
        Indonesia. The Donald Danforth Center has been working 
        on tungro disease and has expertise in this area.

             TROPICAL PLANT AND ANIMAL RESEARCH INITIATIVE

    The Committee urges AID to consider funding a joint 
application from Israel and the State of Hawaii to collaborate 
on a research and development project directed at enhancing the 
competitiveness of both in the rapidly expanding tropical fish 
and plant global market.

               PARTNERSHIPS FOR FOOD INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee notes AID has terminated support for the 
Collaborative Agribusiness Support Program. In its place, AID 
has created the Partnerships for Food Industry Development 
program. The Committee requests a report on April 1, 2001 on 
progress made to assure university agri-business partnerships 
are sustained and expanded under this new initiative.

           INTERNATIONAL FUND FOR AGRICULTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee includes transfer authority of $2,500,000 to 
the International Organizations and Programs account to be 
provided along with an equal amount from that account for a 
U.S. contribution to the Fourth Replenishment of IFAD. The 
Committee notes that oversight authority has been moved to the 
Treasury Department and encourages Treasury to provide adequate 
support for IFAD's future resource requirements.

                    MAINTENANCE OF PROTEA GERMPLASM

    The Committee is aware of the need to safeguard the protea 
germplasm maintained in South Africa. Protea production and 
marketing constitutes an important economic component of the 
tropical ornamental plant industries of South Africa and the 
United States. The Committee urges AID to fund meritorious 
aspects of a joint proposal from the South African and United 
States protea industries to create a repository to safeguard 
protea germplasm.

                           DAIRY DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee continues to place a high priority on dairy 
development and encourages AID to maintain funding for this 
program.

                            FARMER-TO-FARMER

    The Committee strongly supports the Farmer-to-Farmer [FTF] 
Program in the NIS and elsewhere, and recommends that AID 
support these exchanges directly, in addition to the funding 
FTF receives from the Agriculture Department. The FTF Program 
gives American farmers and agribusiness entrepreneurs the 
opportunity to share their expertise with farmers in countries 
where agriculture has been stymied from decades of state 
control. In the process, FTF participants also make new friends 
for the United States and gain valuable experience for 
themselves. It is a cost-effective form of technical assistance 
because the American participants volunteer their time.

                         BIODIVERSITY PROGRAMS

    The Committee has repeatedly urged AID to make biodiversity 
a higher priority and welcomes the Administration's request for 
additional funding for biodiversity conservation in fiscal year 
2001. The Committee has long believed that protecting 
biodiversity and tropical forests in developing countries is 
critical to the long-term health of the global environment and 
to U.S. economic prosperity, especially for the U.S. 
agricultural and pharmaceutical industries. The Committee 
directs AID to increase funding for biodiversity conservation 
above the fiscal year 2000 level, and to provide at least the 
current level of funding for the Office of Environment and 
Natural Resources. Through NGO partnerships, AID should remain 
active in regions that are significant for global biodiversity, 
including in countries where AID does not have a presence, 
especially where lack of participation would weaken the success 
of a regional strategy. The Committee directs AID to work with 
the Missouri Botanical Garden and utilize their vast knowledge 
and experience in protecting bio-diversity.

                             PARKS IN PERIL

    The Committee continues to strongly support the Parks in 
Peril program which matches AID funds with private 
contributions to support biodiversity conservation in imperiled 
ecosystems in Latin America and the Caribbean. AID/Parks in 
Peril has worked at 37 sites in 15 different countries, helping 
to protect more than 28 million acres.

                           CONSERVATION FUND

    Orangutans.--Over the years, the Committee has expressed 
concern about endangered species, including the orangutan, 
which lives on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. The 
orangutans' survival has been severely threatened by logging 
and agricultural practices that have clear cut the forests, as 
well as by fires in 1997 which devastated large areas of forest 
habitat. Since 1992, the Committee has been aware of the 
pioneering work of the Orangutan Foundation, which cares for 
orphans, rehabilitates orangutans that have been in captivity, 
conducts research, supports reforestation, and provides 
economic alternatives to local people who have relied on 
logging for their livelihood. Even with these admirable efforts 
the orangutan is poised on the edge of extinction, and the 
Committee has therefore provided $1,500,000 to support 
organizations such as the Orangutan Foundation and others, and 
urges AID to seek the involvement and support of the Indonesian 
Ministry of Forestry and local governments, as well as the 
logging companies, to create a model program for protecting 
orangutan habitat in Borneo and Sumatra.
    Mountain gorillas.--The Committee is also alarmed by the 
precipitous decline in the population of mountain gorillas 
which inhabit the high altitude jungles of Rwanda, Uganda and 
the Democratic Republic of Congo. This magnificent species, 
once an important source of income for these countries from 
eco-tourism, has been devastated by poaching and civil conflict 
in the region. The Committee has provided $1,500,000 to support 
the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International and the Karisoke 
Research Center and appropriate local government entities whose 
mission is to deter poaching and protect the mountain gorillas' 
habitat.

                TROPICAL FOREST CONSERVATION ACT OF 1998

    The Committee welcomes the Administration's decision to 
seek debt forgiveness under the Tropical Forest Conservation 
Act. This Act has the potential to be a significant, cost-
effective means for protecting endangered tropical forests. The 
Committee directs AID to provide adequate funding for the 
program's operating expenses.

                           THE PEREGRINE FUND

    Of the world's 300 species of diurnal birds of prey, it is 
estimated that 10 are endangered, another 68 are vulnerable, 
and very little is known about another 82. The balance are 
presumed to be safe from extinction. Although best known for 
its efforts to recover the Peregrine Falcon, The Peregrine Fund 
is building a record of conserving birds of prey worldwide. The 
group has worked to protect many species including the 
California Condor, Aplomado Falcon and the Mauritius Kestrel. A 
significant undertaking in the pursuit of preservation is the 
establishment of The Peregrine Fund's Neotropical Raptor Center 
in Panama. This location would enable The Peregrine Fund to 
conduct all of its work in the neotropics. The Committee 
recommends that $500,000 be provided to support this goal which 
the Committee understands will match private contributions.

                            RENEWABLE ENERGY

    The Committee urges AID to continue the unique programs at 
its Office of Energy, Environment, and Technology, supporting 
its U.S. renewable energy private sector initiatives such as 
project preparation, training, multimedia, and related 
activities in cooperation with the Committee on Renewable 
Energy, Commerce, and Trade.

             PACIFIC ISLAND RENEWABLE ENERGY DEMONSTRATION

    The Committee maintains its interest in the application of 
renewable energy technologies for rural development of Pacific 
Island nations, and encourages AID to provide up to $500,000 
for the Pacific International Center for High Technology 
Research's demonstration project on sustainable renewable 
energy systems. In recognition of the closure of AID's mission 
in Fiji, the Committee directs AID to find an alternative 
mechanism for funding this initiative.

                COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH SUPPORT PROGRAMS

    The Committee continues its strong support for the CRSPs 
and notes the small increase in funding provided to the CRSPs 
in fiscal year 2000. Recognizing the important research and 
training functions of these programs, the Committee recommends 
that $2,000,000 above the fiscal year 2000 level be provided 
for the CRSPs in fiscal year 2001, and that the CRSPS be 
considered for funding for a broad range of development-related 
activities.
    The Committee is aware of the important role the Soils 
Management Collaborative Research Support Program [SM-CRSP] 
plays in the sustainable development of the tropical and 
subtropical world. The Committee recommends that AID provide 
$3,000,000 for the SM-CRSP to support all approved proposals 
within the program, particularly the proposal to commercialize 
technologies which would provide alternatives to petroleum-
based fertilizers.
    The Committee is aware that Montana State University-
Bozeman has expertise in providing policy support on critical 
economic and resource management issues facing the Andean 
region. The Committee encourages AID to provide $500,000 
through the Soils Management CRSP program to support these 
research and education programs.

                    COOPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

    The Committee is disappointed by the decline in funding for 
the U.S./Israel Cooperative Development Program (CDP) and 
Cooperative Development Research Program (CDR). These are 
important programs that the Committee has traditionally 
earmarked. The earmarks were lifted in 1993 with the 
expectation that program funding levels would not suffer. 
However, program levels have been declining since 1995. The 
Committee urges an increase in funding for CDP/CDR. These 
innovative programs have particularly benefitted developing 
nations and the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe and the 
former Soviet Union.

                   PATRICK J. LEAHY WAR VICTIMS FUND

    The Committee notes the significant contribution of the 
Leahy War Victims Fund in providing medical and related 
assistance to disabled war victims in over a dozen countries. 
World attention has focused increasingly on the problem of 
landmines, and the need for additional funds for the care and 
rehabilitation, and social and economic reintegration, of 
landmine victims. Accordingly, the Committee recommends that 
$11,000,000 be made available for such activities from 
Development Assistance, the Office of Transition Initiatives, 
and the ``Nonproliferation, antiterrorism, demining, and 
related programs'' account, for activities to assist landmine 
victims and other war victims suffering from permanent 
disabilities.

                 AMERICAN SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS ABROAD

    The Committee recognizes the important contributions made 
to U.S. foreign policy interests by institutions funded by the 
American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA) program. It 
continues to strongly support the program and has provided not 
less than $17,000,000 to support these institutions. The 
Committee expects that AID will allocate sufficient sums to 
administer the ASHA program from funds provided for Operating 
Expenses, so that it will not be necessary to expend any 
program funds for administrative purposes.
    The Committee understands ASHA program officers have 
advised applicants that resources can only be spent on 
construction and equipment. No regulation, statute nor 
congressional directive suggests or mandates such an approach. 
The Committee directs ASHA program officers to also consider 
applications for curriculum and staff support and related 
expenses. However, the Committee does not intend this support 
to be presumed to offer permanent budget relief to ASHA 
recipients. The Committee encourages ASHA to give priority to 
organizations which demonstrate a commitment to private 
fundraising to match government assistance.
    By increasing ASHA funding to $17,000,000 from the 
$15,000,000 funding level allocated to the program by AID in 
recent years, the Committee intends to give priority to 
increasing the support provided to flagship institutions that 
are particularly effective demonstration centers of American 
educational and medical practices. The Committee continues to 
be particularly impressed with the contributions to U.S. 
interests made by several institutions and believes that their 
distinguished records warrant further support. They include the 
Lebanese American University, International College; The Johns 
Hopkins University's Centers in Nanjing, China and Bologna, 
Italy; the Hadassah Medical Organization; and the Feinberg 
Graduate School of the Weizmann Institute of Science.
    The Committee continues to support the American University 
in Beirut (AUB) and encourages the consideration of a plan to 
establish a Palestinian scholarship and education initiative. 
However, the Committee is concerned by reports that funds 
allocated to AUB by ASHA in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 have not 
been used. The Committee requests a report from ASHA in 
consultation with AUB to determine the impediments to use of 
funds.
    The Committee recognizes City University Bellevue, 
Washington's efforts to educate Eastern European students in 
Slovakia about democratic principles and free market economics 
at an affordable cost. The Committee encourages AID to provide 
adequate resources to build a new administrative center and 
expand this program.

               UNIVERSITY DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

    The Committee recognizes that U.S. universities have a 
significant role to play in U.S. development policies 
throughout the globe. Therefore, the Committee encourages AID 
and the Department of State to expand the involvement of 
colleges and universities in development activities. The 
Committee takes note of the important contribution made by a 
number of universities in this regard and where appropriate 
urges consideration of the followng requests:
    University of Vermont.--The Committee supports efforts to 
establish an advanced telecommunications link between three 
hospitals in Vietnam and the University of Vermont College of 
Medicine. Using this link, UVM will provide medical education 
courses in cardiology, rehabilitation medicine and antisepsis 
techniques for physicians and students in Vietnam. The 
Committee recommends $500,000 for this initiative.
    Champlain College.--The U.S.-Ukraine Community Partnerships 
Project has matched U.S. cities with Ukrainian cities to 
provide local government training in economic development, 
budgeting, citizen participation, transportation and housing, 
and communal services. The Committee believes these 
partnerships are valuable in promoting democratic and market-
oriented practices in Ukraine and encourages AID to continue to 
provide funding for this initiative.
    American University in Bulgaria.--The Committee is aware of 
the key role the American University in Bulgaria (AUB) plays in 
teaching and demonstrating the principles of democracy, civil 
society, market economies, leadership and public service to 
students in the region. The Committee understands that funding 
provided by AID for AUB's annual operating budget will be 
exhausted by 2003 and therefore encourages AID to provide 
resources to help sustain the University's program.
    Utah State University.--The Committee supports $1,100,000 
for Utah State University for the proposed World Irrigation 
Applied Research and Training Center to provide improved 
technology delivery and enhancement of human resources
    Arab-American University of Jenin.--The Committee supports 
$1,000,000 for Utah State University to assist the Arab-
American University of Jenin to establish a College of 
Agriculture of Jenin including an Agriculture Experiment 
Station and Extension Service to assist the Agriculture 
industry in the area.
    University of Missouri.--The Committee recognizes the 
important contributions of the University of Missouri is making 
to eradicate infectious diseases in third world countries and 
recommends $2,000,000 for establishment of the Center for 
Livestock Infectious Disease at the University of Missouri.
    University of Mississippi.--The Committee supports 
$2,000,000 for the National Center for Computational Hydro 
science and Engineering (NCCHE) at the University of 
Mississippi for the purpose of transferring state of the art 
technology to the Polish Academy of Sciences. The NCCHE has 
developed several free surface flows, soil erosion, sediment 
transport and morphodynamic processes models, which can be 
applied to enhance waterways navigation safety, flood 
prediction and prevention, water resources engineering, 
environmental and ecological impact assessment, and soil 
conservation.
    Mississippi State University.--The Committee supports 
$2,000,000 for the Office of International Programs at 
Mississippi State University for the continuation of programs 
in agribusiness project development and management, technical 
assistance, training, applied research and technical 
information transfer. Mississippi State University has 
development assistance experience in adding value to 
agricultural production and reducing post harvest losses with 
emphasis on food, feed grains and seed. The Office of 
International Programs has managed and implemented projects, 
responded to requests for short-term assistance and provided 
training in numerous countries worldwide.
    Boise State University.--The Committee recognizes the 
success of Boise State University's involvement with the 
National Economics University's Business School in Vietnam and 
its important work to establish a Vietnamese business school. 
In addition to resources make available in 2000, the Committee 
directs $2,000,000 to continue and expand these important 
activities over a 2-year period.
    University of Miami.--The Committee supports $3,500,000 for 
the Cuban transition project to be administered through The 
University of Miami. These funds would provide the university 
with the opportunity to provide policy makers, analysts and 
others with accurate information, incisive analysis and 
practical policy recommendations. This project will be 
developed over a 3-year period with the initial funding to 
establish the research center and to organize research programs 
and task forces.
    University of Northern Iowa.--The University of Northern 
Iowa continues to conduct an effective program with the Orava 
Project in Slovakia, incorporating democratic concepts and 
practices into school and teacher education programs. This 
model should be replicated and expanded.
    Water research.--The Committee is aware of the research by 
Washington State University, Purdue University, South Carolina 
University, and the University of Jordan Center for Water 
Research, on the use, availability, and quality of water in the 
Middle East region. The Committee encourages AID to provide 
$1,000,000 to support this initiative from Development 
Assistance and Economic Support Fund resources.
    Food security.--The Committee is aware of collaborative 
agricultural research, education and training programs 
conducted by Washington State University, the State of 
Washington, the International Center for Maize and Wheat 
Improvement and institutions in the Central Asia and Caucasus 
regions to promote international food security. The Committee 
encourages AID to provide $2,460,000 to support this 
initiative.
    University of South Carolina.--The Committee understands 
that in partnership with the International Urban Development 
Association, the University of South Carolina's Institute of 
Public Affairs plans to develop the International Urban Growth 
Network focusing on the management of growth in urban areas and 
the consequences that growth has for environmental, social and 
economic systems. The Committee encourages AID to provide 
$1,000,000 for this new initiative.
    University of South Carolina.--The Committee is aware that 
economic development in Morocco's coastal area has put severe 
pressure on the fresh ground water supply and led to a dramatic 
increase in saltwater intrusion into freshwater aquifer 
systems. The University of South Carolina's Earth Sciences and 
Resources Institute, in cooperation with Moroccan institutions, 
will bring international experts together to characterize the 
distribution of aquifer properties and establish a long-term 
aquifer monitoring network to verify and monitor conditions of 
the aquifer systems. The Committee encourages AID to provide 
$1,000,000 for this initiative in fiscal year 2001.
    University of South Carolina.--The Committee is aware that 
the University of South Carolina's Earth Sciences and Resources 
Institute and Texas Tech University are collaborating on 
research about the multi-generation impacts of massive releases 
of radiation into the environment, such as occurred at 
Chernobyl. Cooperative studies will concentrate on assessment 
of technologies to mitigate movements of radiation into 
populated regions, training Ukranian healthcare professionals 
in modern medical techniques, and developing strategies to 
reduce risk to humans and wildlife in the event of future 
nuclear accidents. The Committee encourages AID to provide 
$2,500,000 for this initiative.
    George Mason University.--The Committee recognizes the 
contribution George Mason University is making to healthcare in 
developing countries and encourages AID to provide up to 
$2,000,000 to continue and expand these activities.
    Loyola University.--The Committee encourages AID to provide 
$1,000,000 to Loyola University New Orleans for the development 
of the Family Law Institute for Latin American Judges. The 
Institute would provide an opportunity for selected groups of 
family law judges from Latin America to attend seminars aimed 
at strengthening administration of justice for children and 
families.
    Louisiana State University.--The Committee is aware of 
Louisiana State University's development of an International 
Emergency Management Training Center and encourages AID to 
provide $1,000,000 for this initiative.
    Historically Black Colleges.--The Committee notes the 
Renewable Energy for African Development Program's efforts to 
foster sustainable economic development in Africa, Latin 
America and the Caribbean through re-usable energy resources. 
The Committee encourages AID to provide $1,000,000 for this 
program
    St. Thomas University.--The Committee recognizes the 
contributions the Institute for Democracy in Africa at St. 
Thomas University in Miami, Florida, is making to encourage and 
promote democratic principles in Africa and provide training in 
the area of civic education, entrepreneurship, rule of law, 
public health, and conflict prevention, and encourages AID to 
provide $5,000,000 to support these activities.
    University of Notre Dame.--The Committee is aware of the 
collaborative work being done by the University of Notre Dame, 
the Inter-American Dialogue and the Colombian Commission of 
Jurists to support human rights and democracy in Colombia and 
to respond to proposals by Colombian civic leaders. The 
Committee encourages AID to provide $1,200,000 for this 
initiative.
    Western Kentucky University.--The Committee continues to be 
concerned about the success and sustainability of independent, 
non-state-controlled media. One of the critical components to 
achieving a stable, independent media is in-depth training of 
management and journalists in basic media skills. The Committee 
is aware of an innovative proposal at Western Kentucky 
University to join in-the-field training with practical, hands-
on experience with broadcast and print journalism expertise. In 
collaboration with in-country assistance from a media support 
organization, such intensive and focused training at a teaching 
university will provide journalists with the knowledge and 
skills to succeed at home. The Committee directs that not less 
than $2,000,000 be made available for such an initiative.
    University of Louisville.--The Committee is aware of a 
proposed effort led by the University of Louisville in 
partnership with Rand Afrikaans University to work with 
impoverished communities in South Africa. Specifically, the 
program seeks to encourage job sustainable development in 
Bapong, South Africa, an area which is a largely tribal rural 
community with extraordinary unemployment, poor education and 
severe lack of resources to provide for the welfare of its 
citizens. The Committee urges AID to provide $1,500,000 for 
this initiative which it understands has the support of the 
South Africa government.

                           CHINA RULE OF LAW

    The Committee recommends $2,000,000 be provided to support 
an International Rule of Law Program in the People's Republic 
of China. Resources should enable American and Chinese legal 
scholars to do joint research on issues related to business law 
and enable American legal scholars, attorneys, judges, and 
government officials to meet with their Chinese counterparts on 
a regular, organized basis to provide input into proposed or 
needed legislation and enforcement in an emerging Chinese legal 
system that would regulate aspects of a market economy.
    The Committee urges AID to consider a proposal from Temple 
Law School, in cooperation with the New York University School 
of Law, to operate a Business Law Center in collaboration with 
the Judicial College of the Supreme People's Court, the Center 
for Economic Law Research, and the State Administration of 
Foreign Exports Affairs.

                        Limitation on Assistance

    The Committee has included a provision, identical to last 
year, which seeks to ensure that U.S. assistance does not go to 
units of foreign security forces whose members have been 
credibly implicated in human rights violations, unless the 
foreign government is taking effective measures to bring the 
individuals responsible to justice. By effective measures, the 
Committee intends that the individuals face appropriate and 
timely disciplinary action or impartial criminal prosecution in 
accordance with local law. The Committee notes that in order to 
implement this provision, it is necessary for U.S. Embassies to 
know which units are to receive U.S. assistance and to have in 
place the necessary agreements and mechanisms to effectively 
monitor their use of the assistance. The Committee expects U.S. 
Embassies to maintain this information so it is available to 
the Congress.

                          CONFLICT RESOLUTION

    The Committee believes that the U.S. Government should 
actively support programs in conflict resolution that bring 
together teenagers of different ethnic, religious and political 
backgrounds from areas of civil conflict and war. Participants 
in such programs develop listening and negotiating skills, 
overcome mistrust and forge friendships that are critical to 
establishing lasting peace and cooperation. The Committee 
especially commends Seeds of Peace, a widely respected 
organization which promotes understanding between Arab and 
Israeli teenagers, and believes that such programs should be 
expanded and replicated to involve youth from other conflict 
areas. Accordingly, the Committee supports providing funds from 
the Development Assistance, SEED and ESF accounts, for such 
programs.

                           VICTIMS OF TORTURE

    The Congress has been unequivocal in its opposition to 
torture and its resolve to support efforts to prevent its use. 
Assisting foreign treatment centers for victims of torture is 
an effective way to lessen the incidence of torture and promote 
human rights. Therefore, the Committee recommends that AID 
increase support to $10,000,000 to foreign treatment centers 
for victims of torture, and requests that AID consult with the 
Committees on the use of these funds.

                       Global Road Safety Program

    The Committee is aware that road accidents are the leading 
cause of death and injury for healthy Americans traveling 
abroad. Road accidents world wide result in approximately 1.17 
million deaths and over 10 million persons being seriously 
injured every year. Around 80 percent of these deaths occur in 
the developing world even though developing countries have only 
30 percent of the total global motor vehicle fleet. The 
Committee encourages U.S. Embassies to better inform American 
travelers of road and traffic conditions in their country and 
countries around the world to promote road safety.

                             COUNTRY ISSUES

                                 CYPRUS

    The Committee has provided $15,000,000 for Cyprus from 
development assistance and Economic Support Fund resources. The 
Committee intends that these resources be made available to 
maximize leverage to improve prospects for a settlement in 
Cyprus.

                                LEBANON

    Of the funds appropriated under the headings ``Development 
Assistance'' and ``Economic Support Fund'' the Committee 
directs that not less than $15,000,000 shall be made available 
for Lebanon to be used, among other programs, for scholarships 
and direct support of the American educational institutions in 
Lebanon.

                                 BURMA

    The Committee notes that May 27, 2000 marks the 10th 
anniversary of free and fair elections conducted in Burma. The 
National League for Democracy led by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi won a 
majority of parliamentary seats in these elections, however the 
Burmese military annulled the results. Since the elections, 
Burma's socio-economic living conditions have plummeted and 
political repression by the military regime has been 
increasingly brutal. The United Nations General Assembly and 
Commission on Human Rights has condemned the persecution of 
political and religious minorities and the political opposition 
and the regime's abusive record of forced labor, forced 
relocations of sexual violence against women. The annual State 
Department Report on Human Rights Practices notes more than 
1,300 political prisoners continue to suffer inhumane detention 
conditions. In addition to the Committee's concern about 
political abuses, Burma continues to pose a threat to U.S. 
interests as the second largest source of illicit opium and 
heroin.
    The Committee strongly supports the restoration of 
democracy in Burma as the only effective means to address these 
concerns. The Committee urges the Administration to increase 
efforts to support Aung San Suu Kyi's call for a political 
dialogue to advance reconciliation and to encourage the Burmese 
regime to uphold the terms and conditions of United Nations' 
resolutions. To support democratic efforts, the Committee has 
once again provided $6,500,000 in grants for education and 
health care activities, political and media initiatives, and 
humanitarian support for Burmese exiles and refugees. The 
Committee expects to be consulted prior to the obligation of 
funds.
    The Committee remains concerned that despite its' clear 
intent, AID has yet to undertake any program to benefit 
independent media in Burma. There is still no coordinated 
effort to improve the media skills of the people involved in 
the Burmese pro-democracy movement in exile, the single most 
important source of information on the situation in Burma. The 
Committee recommends that work be done with a qualified non-
governmental organization with a proven track record in 
supporting independent media in emerging democracies.

                                CAMBODIA

    The Committee believes that the United States can be more 
actively engaged in Cambodia's development, without supporting 
a corrupt and authoritarian central government. Areas such as 
health (especially preventing HIV/AIDS), education, protecting 
the environment (especially protecting Cambodia's dwindling 
forests and endangered wildlife), and democracy and legal 
reform, are examples of where the United States, through 
nongovernmental organizations and appropriate local and 
provincial governments, could expand its assistance. The 
Committee recommends at least $20,000,000 be provided for 
assistance for Cambodia from Development Assistance and 
Economic Support Fund resources.
    The Committee is concerned that the Cambodian Prime 
Minister and the United Nations have yet to finalize an 
agreement which would meet international standards on a 
judicial process for trying leaders of the Khmer Rouge. The 
Committee expects the U.S. Embassy to strongly support U.N. 
efforts to ensure a judicial process which maintains 
international standards. The Committee is concerned that 
efforts to date have not been as collaborative as the urgency 
of the task demands. The Committee believes that the 
independence of the tribunal is of the utmost importance, both 
to the Cambodian people and Cambodia's future, as well as the 
standard it will set for future tribunals of this kind.
    The Committee commends the State Department for continuing 
to recognize the key role that Cambodia's forests play in the 
country's future. The logging crackdown instituted by the 
Cambodian Government in January 1999 is still largely intact, 
but logging concessionaires have not been punished for their 
illegal activities. There are also many examples of illegal 
logging by concessionaires, with the collusion of civilian and 
military provincial authorities, still taking place. The 
establishment of the Forest Crimes Monitoring Unit is a 
positive step, but open access to government records, which has 
been blocked, is essential to the successful implementation of 
forestry reforms.
    The Committee commends the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for 
its review of the forest concessions. It is important that the 
Cambodian Government implements fully the ADB's 
recommendations, in order to put an end to these destructive 
practices. The Committee requests the State Department to 
submit a report by March 1, 2001, describing the current status 
of illegal logging in Cambodia and the involvement of 
Cambodian, Thai, Laotian, and Vietnamese officials in this 
trade.

                               INDONESIA

    The Committee is very encouraged by the policies of 
Indonesian President Wahid, who has ushered in a new chapter in 
Indonesia's history. The Committee believes that the United 
States should strongly support his efforts to accelerate 
political and economic reforms. To serve this purpose, the 
Committee also supports AID's programs which address basic 
needs in Indonesia and assistance to the parliament by funding 
legislative exchanges for members of the Indonesian parliament.
    The Committee encourages the Government's efforts to exert 
civilian control over the armed forces and reform them 
thoroughly, and bring to justice military personnel who were 
alleged to be involved in past atrocities. In this regard, 
while progress has been made in obtaining the resignations of 
some key military officials who were associated with past 
abuses and impunity, no one has been prosecuted and there are 
ongoing reports of military collusion with militias that 
continue to terrorize East Timorese refugees. Accordingly, like 
last year, the Committee has included language which imposes 
conditions on any resumption of military assistance to 
Indonesia.
    The Committee continues to support technical assistance to 
independent media, especially local radio stations and the 
development of a private TV sector, to promote a climate of 
responsible broadcasting. Assistance should include management 
and journalism training, as well as support for public interest 
programming that promotes tolerance, civil society and provides 
useful information at the local level. The Committee further 
believes that support for media law development with the aim of 
guaranteeing freedom of expression and a fair and transparent 
environment for the media is vital to the progress of reform.

                               EAST TIMOR

    The Committee notes that large numbers of East Timorese 
remain unemployed and are in dire need of assistance. The 
Committee is disappointed that the United Nations and 
international donors have taken so long to disburse funds made 
available last year to address these needs, which were 
predictable and obvious. The Committee believes that the 
$10,000,000 requested by the Administration for East Timor in 
fiscal year 2001 is insufficient, and has therefore included 
language providing that, like last year, $25,000,000 in 
Economic Support Fund assistance should be made available to 
support income-producing projects and other reconstruction 
activities in East Timor.
    The Committee is aware that the primary manager of 
resources in East Timor has been the Office of Transition 
Initiatives (OTI). As OTI phases out and transfers 
responsibility for ongoing activities to AID, the Committee 
understands there may be new or additional management costs 
incurred. The Committee has included language allowing up to 
$1,000,000 of the Economic Support Fund resources to be made 
available by transfer to AID for operation and expenses in East 
Timor.
    The Committee urges the State Department to continue to 
work with international and nongovernmental organizations to 
assure the safety and resettlement of East Timorese refugees.

                                 TIBET

    The Committee continues to support development projects 
such as those sponsored by the Bridge Fund to combat the 
economic and cultural marginalization of Tibetans, and 
recommends $1,500,000 for these activities in fiscal year 2001. 
The Committee also urges the State Department to provide 
$250,000 for the purpose of providing training and education of 
Tibetans in democracy activities and monitoring human rights in 
Tibet.

                                 INDIA

    The Committee recommends $250,000 to support health care in 
the Sringeri area in the state of Karnataka, India. This rural 
area has an average annual family income of $300, with a high 
mortality rate caused in part by a lack of safe drinking water 
and inadequate health facilities. Funds should be administered 
by the Sharada Dhanvantari Charitable Hospital.

                                 HAITI

    The Committee notes that Haiti has benefitted from more 
than $2,000,000,000 in U.S. assistance in addition to the 
stabilizing support offered by 20,000 U.S. troops. By any 
measure, this support has achieved little in terms of economic 
growth or political stability. The current Preval government 
has postponed elections twice causing the opposition to 
question the prospects of holding free and fair elections in 
time to seat a new parliament in June. Political violence 
against opponents of Family Lavalas have increased, with 
assassinations and attacks occurring virtually weekly.
    Despite U.S. assistance, job generation and private 
investment are stagnant, causing Haiti to continue to be the 
poorest nation in the hemisphere. Judicial reforms have failed 
to produce fair, prompt processing of cases, with detainees 
held for indefinite periods without being charged or 
prosecuted. The Committee is also concerned by reports that the 
police force which absorbed the largest proportion of American 
aid continues to be poorly trained, ill equipped and unable to 
respond effectively to any public disturbance or serve the most 
basic law enforcement missions.
    The Committee notes the strong participation by the Haitian 
public in the voter registration process and encourages the 
administration to make clear to the Preval government that a 
timely, free and a fair election is a precondition for 
continued U.S. support. Absent significant political change, 
the Committee believes American aid should be suspended, except 
for the most urgent humanitarian programs.

                               GUATEMALA

    Last year, the Conferees directed that $2,000,000 in ESF 
funds be used to support the demilitarization of the Estado 
Mayor Presidencial (EMP) in Guatemala. The Committee is 
encouraged by the Portillo Government's efforts to move forward 
with this initiative, and appreciates the support the U.S. 
Embassy has given to it. The Committee expects these funds to 
be made available once there is an effective plan, in writing, 
to replace the EMP with a civilian presidential security 
service that is also supported by the Guatemalan Government and 
other donors. No U.S. funds may be provided to individuals who 
are credibly alleged to have been involved in gross violations 
of human rights.
    The Committee commends recent steps taken by the Portillo 
Government to strengthen human rights in Guatemala, including 
its support for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights 
and investigations into the murders of Myrna Mack Hang and 
Bishop Juan Gerardi. In the past year, several individuals have 
been arrested in connection with the Gerardi murder, but the 
Committee is concerned that the individuals who ordered this 
heinous crime may still be at large. The Committee recognizes 
the importance of punishing those responsible for this crime 
for the Guatemalan Peace Accords, and U.S.-Guatemalan 
relations.

                                 MEXICO

    The Committee notes that the U.N. High Commissioner for 
Human Rights visited Mexico last year, and that Mexico signed a 
Declaration of Intent on Technical Cooperation for the 
Promotion of Human Rights. The Committee awaits the 
implementation of the Declaration. The Committee is 
disappointed by the lack of progress toward a settlement of the 
conflict in Chiapas. The militarization of the region, 
including violence by pro-government paramilitary groups, has 
displaced many indigenous people and exacerbated impoverished 
conditions there. The Committee is concerned about human rights 
violations by Mexican security forces, who are rarely punished, 
and expects the State Department to ensure that recipients of 
U.S. assistance do not violate human rights, or to suspend such 
assistance. The Committee remains concerned that restrictions 
on human rights observers seeking visas to enter Mexico remain 
in place and believes the Mexican Government should ensure that 
visa requirements comply with international standards. The 
Committee is also concerned about the summary deportation of 
American citizens, some of whom have lived in Mexico for many 
years, in violation of their rights under international and 
Mexican law.

                       Inter-American Foundation

    Last year, the Committee requested the General Accounting 
Office investigate allegations that staff at the Inter-American 
Foundation (IAF) had violated contracting regulations and 
personnel policies. GAO's investigation determined that staff 
at the IAF had improperly issued a sole source purchase order 
in violation of the Federal Acquisition Regulations. At that 
time, due to these and other managerial concerns, the Committee 
substantially reduced funding for the IAF.
    In addition to concerns regarding management, the Committee 
is not confident that the IAF makes a unique, positive or 
enduring contribution to United States development interests in 
Latin America. While the Committee has recently been advised 
that there has been a change in the leadership and management 
of the IAF, given competing priorities and the questionable, 
limited purposes of IAF, the Committee has not funded the 
request for ongoing IAF activities. The Committee understands 
that adequate resources are available on a carryover basis to 
terminate contracts and close IAF.

                     AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION

    The Committee has provided $14,400,000 in funding for the 
African Development Foundation (ADF) within the ``Development 
Assistance'' account. This is an increase of $1,900,000 from 
the Senate recommendation for fiscal year 2000. The Committee 
applauds the continuing efforts by ADF in pursuing private 
sources for contributions. The Committee looks forward to the 
fruition of these efforts in the coming year.

AID's various credit programs and sustain the management of all 
such activities under the Development Credit Authority program. 
The Committee has not provided transfer authority to increase 
the subsidy given the slow and poor performance to date.

Support Fund activities.

                              MIDDLE EAST

    Following consultations in 1998 with the Governments of 
Israel and Egypt, the Committee reduced the level of Economic 
Support Fund resources provided for each country.
    In fiscal year 1999, the Committee made its first reduction 
in a planned 10-year schedule; this year the schedule has 
provided $840,000,000 in economic support funds for Israel. The 
Committee has provided $695,000,000 for Egypt. The Committee 
intends to proceed with the reduction targets agreed to for the 
10-year schedule.
    The Congress fully supports the Middle East Regional 
Cooperation Program [MERC], and its role in fostering 
scientific collaboration between Israel and its Arab neighbors. 
The MERC Program should remain fully funded at no less than 
fiscal year 2000 levels. The value of multiple lines of 
communication between nongovernmental institutions in the 
region is critical to the peace process, and should be 
continued.
    The Committee strongly supports the work of the Chicago 
House in Luxor, Egypt. Chicago House is the headquarters of a 
permanent field expedition undertaken by the Oriental Institute 
of the University of Chicago to conduct an epigraphic survey of 
Luxor. The Committee urges AID to continue support to this 
important work.
    On April 21, the Committee received a request from the 
Administration to include a provision allowing for early 
disbursement of fiscal year 2001 funding provided to Egypt from 
the Foreign Military Financing Program. The request addressed 
budget outlays to be deposited in an interest bearing account 
held by Egypt at the Federal Reserve. Given the late date of 
the submission and the lack of detailed information on the 
proposal, the Committee is still reviewing the program and 
budgetary implications of this request prior to reaching an 
informed decision.

                     International Fund for Ireland

    The International Fund for Ireland plays an important role 
in promoting peace and stability in Northern Ireland. In 
addition to supporting governmental efforts to implement the 
Good Friday Agreement and encouraging investment and trade, the 
Committee recognizes the importance of community-based 
initiatives, including microenterprise development, which build 
civil society and promote peace and reconciliation. The 
Committee encourages the International Fund for Ireland to 
support such community-based efforts. The Committee recognizes 
the work of the non-partisan Northern Ireland Voluntary Trust, 
which for the past 20 years has worked for peace through a wide 
range of community initiatives and urges the International Fund 
for Ireland to support the work of this organization.
    The Committee also urges the International Fund for Ireland 
to follow equal opportunity principles established in the Good 
Friday Agreement when considering and selecting grants--such as 
the right of women to full and equal participation and the 
right to equal opportunity in all social and economic activity, 
regardless of class, creed, disability, gender or ethnicity.

                    LATIN AMERICA and the CARIBBEAN

    The Committee notes that since 1990, United States economic 
assistance to Latin America and the Caribbean has fallen by 
two-thirds, although assistance for Haiti has been sustained at 
a disproportionately high level. During the same period, 
poverty has steadily increased as has the flood of illegal 
immigrants into the United States. The Committee believes that 
this hemisphere, other than Haiti, should be given higher 
priority in the allocation of economic support fund assistance.

                          War Crimes Tribunal

    The Committee has again included drawdown authority for up 
to $30,000,000 of commodities and services for the War Crimes 
Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and expects the 
administration to ensure that the tribunals have sufficient 
budgets, staff and equipment to do their jobs. The Committee 
directs the State Department to actively support the 
establishment of a Tribunal to prosecute Iraqi war crimes.

          Assistance for Eastern Europe and the Baltic States

Appropriations, 2000....................................    $535,000,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................     610,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     635,000,000

    The Committee has provided $635,000,000 for Eastern Europe 
and the Baltic nations.
    The Committee has increased assistance over the requested 
level in lieu of funding a supplemental request. Last year the 
Committee provided $535,000,000 which substantially exceeded 
the request of $393,000,000. Within funds made available for 
fiscal year 2000, the Committee provided $150,000,000 for 
Kosova with the clear expectation that the European community 
would contribute at least 85 percent of necessary 
reconstruction and development support. This support has been 
slow to materialize prompting the Administration to request a 
Supplemental. Given the disproportional resource burden the 
United States assumed for prosecuting the air campaign against 
Serbia, the Committee understood the European community and 
other donors would assume the post-war burden for rebuilding 
the region and Kosova's economy and infrastructure.
    Currently, however, the United States contribution for many 
activities exceeds any other donor's bilateral support. The 
Committee is particularly concerned with the slow and 
inadequate levels of support for training local Kosova police 
as well as support for the temporary International Police Force 
(IPF). Both forces are essential to restoring law and order and 
assuring a timely exit of foreign troops. Absent a viable 
police force, American and other troops deployed as part of the 
NATO Kosova Force (KFOR) serve at greater risk.
    The United Nations has established a minimum IPF level of 
4,700 police. To date, the State Department has provided 
$52,000,000 in fiscal year 2000 funds to support 481 Americans 
serving in the IPF. The United States has pledged support for 
550 police, with other donors expected to meet the requirement 
for the balance of 4,150 police. Non-U.S. donors have supplied 
1,878 police of which 1,247 have come from outside Europe. This 
leaves a current shortfall for non-U.S. donors of 2,272 police.
    The Committee strongly opposes the United States assuming 
the largest national proportion of the police costs or number 
of positions. The Committee has included language which 
conditions any further U.S. support for police activities on a 
substantial and accelerated increase in international support 
to meet the minimum mandated level of 4,700 police.
    The Committee has revised language included in the fiscal 
year 2000 foreign operations appropriations which required that 
none of the funds could be made available until the Secretary 
of State certified that U.S. pledges at Kosova donor 
conferences did not exceed 15 percent of the total resources 
pledged by all donors. The revised language requires that none 
of the funds in this or any other foreign operations act, may 
be obligated for Kosova until the Secretary of State certifies 
that the U.S. obligation and expenditure of resources is not 
exceeding 15 percent of the total resources obligated and 
expended by other donors. The Committee notes continued 
frustration with the fact that other donors have pledged, but 
not fulfilled, obligations for economic reconstruction, 
development projects and payment to the Kosova budget for 
teachers, health care workers and municipal employees.
    Last year, the Committee warned against repeating in Kosova 
many of the mistakes which have compromised effective economic 
development and political progress in Bosnia. Of specific 
concern in Bosnia, and now Kosova, is AID's reluctance to work 
directly with and build up the capabilities of local non-
government organizations. The Committee strongly opposes the 
Pristina Mission's current emphasis on large grants to U.S. 
contractors with no relevant field experience and little 
interest in strengthening Kosova civic society.
    The Committee has included language which requires not less 
than 50 percent of resources provided in or for Kosova must be 
provided through non-government organizations with established 
Kosova based capabilities.
    The Committee has also provided $89,000,000 to support 
Montenegro as it struggles to address economic and political 
pressure applied by the regime in Belgrade. The Committee 
recognizes the difficulty the government faces in encouraging 
investment and economic growth given Montenegro's continued 
ties to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The Committee 
intends that the available resources shall support balance of 
payments and assist the government in efforts to sustain its 
pledge to carry out free market and democratic reforms.
    The Committee has provided $60,000,000 to support economic 
and political opportunities for reform which may result from 
the recent elections in Croatia. The Committee welcomes and 
encourages continuation of President Stipe Mesic's new approach 
regarding refugee returns, cooperation with the International 
War Crimes Tribunal, relations with Bosnia-Herzegovina and 
political and economic anti-corruption efforts. The Committee 
has included language which reflects the Croatian government's 
new pledges and commitments on these issues.

                           LEGAL INITIATIVES

    The Committee continues to support AID's efforts to promote 
legal reform in Central and Eastern Europe, including the use 
of distance learning technology to enhance prosecutor training 
programs. The use of this technology increases the overall cost 
effectiveness of the program by increasing the number of 
countries and individuals participating. The Committee expects 
AID to continue funding the Academic Consortium for Global 
Education at the current level.

                          INTERNATIONAL CRIME

    The Committee remains concerned about the direct and 
indirect impact of international crime on Americans and 
American businesses at home and abroad. The Committee 
recognizes the new emphasis the Organization for Security and 
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) is placing on fighting crime and 
corruption in the OSCE region. Accordingly, the Committee urges 
the Secretary of State to raise the crime and corruption issue 
at the ministerial level within the OSCE. The Committee also 
requests the State Department to continue providing advice and 
support, in cooperation with the FBI, to the Southeast Europe 
Cooperative Initiative (SECI) headquartered in Romania.

    assistance for the independent States of the Former Soviet Union

Appropriations, 2000....................................    $839,000,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................     830,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     775,000,000

    The Committee recommends $775,000,000 for the Independent 
States of the former Soviet Union. As in prior years, the bill 
makes applicable the provisions of section 498B(j) of the 
Foreign Assistance Act to funds appropriated under this 
heading, as well as making applicable the other provisions of 
chapter 11 of part I of that Act to funds appropriated by the 
bill for the NIS.

                                CHECHNYA

    The Committee heard testimony of systematic, widespread 
atrocities against Chechen civilians by Russian forces, and of 
the humanitarian crisis facing displaced Chechens who are 
suffering from hunger and disease and an unpredictable future. 
The Committee is disappointed that the Administration has 
failed to use the many non-governmental relief organizations 
that have representatives on the ground in Ingushetia and 
Chechnya, and are in a position to provide assistance to these 
people. The Committee sees no excuse for this failure, and has 
included language requiring direct support to these 
organizations on an urgent basis.

                           LEGAL INITIATIVES

    The Committee is concerned about the quality of education 
for lawyers, judges and others responsible for interpreting new 
laws in the New Independent States of the Former Soviet Union 
and in Central and Eastern Europe. The Committee is aware of 
the need to provide investigative and prosecutorial skills 
training in the fledgling judiciary systems in the former 
Soviet republics. The Committee commends efforts by AID and the 
Justice Department (OPDAT) to provide education for prosecutors 
in these countries through the Academic Consortium for Global 
Education and supports the effort to increase participation by 
complementing current courses with a distance learning 
initiative.
    The Committee also recommends AID consider supporting a 
distance learning project being developed by Florida State 
University in consortium with other institutions, which will 
deliver instruction in basic legal principles for students and 
professors.
    The Committee continues to support the work the University 
of South Carolina's College of Criminal Justice is doing 
through its Moscow Police Command College (MPCC) to expose 
Moscow management-level police officials to U.S. policing 
methods. MPCC provides information on the internal 
organizational structure of local police agencies, 
relationships between federal, state and local law enforcement 
agencies, the role of community programs in crime fighting and 
victim assistance, and broader issues such as community 
policing. The Committee directs AID to provide $750,000 for 
this program in fiscal year 2001.

                           INDEPENDENT MEDIA

    The Committee continues to be concerned about the pressure 
facing independent broadcast and print media in the former 
Soviet Union and continues to support assistance programs for 
them as one of the most effective means of supporting the 
transition to civil society. In particular, support for the 
creation of a fair and transparent legal environment for 
journalists and media outlets on the local as well as the 
national level is important in all the former Soviet republics. 
Support to independent media outlets will also include support 
for increased use of the internet to enhance professional 
connections among media professionals, training in media-
specific business, production and reporting skills and support 
for public interest television and radio programming addressing 
the specific needs of individual countries and regional 
audiences.
    The progress made in supporting a pluralistic media in the 
former Soviet Union has been impressive, but the Chechen War in 
Russia, and ongoing repression of private media in Central Asia 
and the South Caucasus all make clear that the situation is 
still extremely volatile. Therefore, the Committee urges 
continued support across the region to non-governmental media.

                          PHYSICIANS EXCHANGES

    The Committee has followed with interest the work of the 
Eurasian Medical Education Program of the American College of 
Physicians in continuing medical education of Russian 
physicians in the treatment of tuberculosis, cardiovascular 
disease and diabetes. This exchange program has carried out 
programs in four regions of the Russian federation. Volunteer 
American physicians have shared experience and knowledge with 
their Russian colleagues, to the benefit of the Russian medical 
profession and the Russian population. The Committee requests 
to be consulted regarding future support for this program.

           VITAMINS FOR AT-RISK WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN

    The Committee is aware that poor nutrition and vitamin 
deficiencies are responsible for dramatic increases in 
pregnancy complications, birth defects, and certain health 
problems in children. In many cases, there is a lack of 
education about the benefits of vitamins as a dietary 
supplement and vitamins are either unavailable or too expensive 
for those who would benefit most.
    Magee Womancare International is a professional 
organization of physicians, obstetrical providers, health care 
personnel, and educators who are dedicated to improving health 
care conditions for women and infants in the former Soviet 
Union. The organization promotes a culturally-sensitive model 
of improved obstetric care and community education programs for 
women and their families. To expand its activities, the 
Committee encourages AID to work with Magee Womancare 
International to distribute vitamins and educate at-risk 
Russian women on the importance of nutrition in pregnancy and 
infancy in order to reduce infant and maternal morbidity.

                         CARELIFT INTERNATIONAL

    The Committee continues to support the work of Carelift 
International, and notes Carelift's cooperation with AID and 
the American International Health Alliance (AIHA) in 
establishing comprehensive programs to help the Independent 
States and other nations rebuild their health systems. The 
Committee recognizes the value of this initiative and 
encourages AID to expand its relationship with Carelift and the 
AIHA Partnership Program. The Committee recommends up to 
$7,000,000 to enable Carelift International to continue and 
expand its operations overseas.

                          PRIMARY HEALTH CARE

    The Committee is aware of the Primary Health Care 
Initiative of the World Council of Hellenes, which was 
instituted in the former Soviet republics to provide 
desperately needed basic health care. This program, which is 
alleviating suffering of people through thousands of visits 
each month, is also beneficial to U.S. relations with these 
countries. The Committee urges the Department of State to 
provide $1,500,000 for this program in fiscal year 2001.

            Research, Training, Exchanges, and Partnerships

    The Committee recommends funding above the current level 
for the Russian, Eurasian, and East European Research and 
Training Program (title VIII) from the two appropriations 
accounts for the NIS and Central Europe. The Committee also 
supports funding for other graduate fellowship and training 
programs in both regions, such as the Central and Eastern 
European Graduate Fellowship Program. Student exchange 
programs, in general, are to be distributed in a balanced 
manner among high school, college, and graduate/postgraduate 
categories.

                         VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

    The Committee commends the efforts by AID, the Department 
of State, and the Department of Justice to implement a 
Committee initiative against domestic violence in Russia. The 
Committee believes the Administration should continue to 
consult closely with and support the Russian Association of 
Crisis Centers for Women to further strengthen local capacity 
to respond to this endemic problem. Emphasis should be given to 
strengthening police and prosecutorial capacity to prevent and 
punish abuses. In addition, American grant recipients, 
including police trainers, should have experience in domestic 
violence issues and Russian NGOs should be involved in the 
design, evaluation, and monitoring of these programs. The 
Committee recommends that funding for this initiative at least 
be maintained at the current level and requests the Department 
of State to submit a report by March 1, 2001 summarizing the 
actions taken, results to date and future plans for this 
initiative.

                               ORPHANAGES

    The Committee supports USAID/Russia's orphans strategy, 
which focuses on programs to reduce the number of children 
entering state orphanages and job skills training for children 
leaving orphanages. This is a long-term strategy and the 
Committee is also concerned about the immediate medical and 
basic needs of orphans in some of the most economically 
disadvantaged parts of the country. USAID/Russia is encouraged 
to supplement its orphans strategy by continuing its effort to 
identify reform-minded and committed orphanage officials in the 
regions and developing a program to improve the basic 
conditions of orphans in those regions. To assist with these 
efforts, the Committee expects AID to work with nonprofit 
groups, especially those with contacts in the Russian Far East, 
including Rotary International, the Anchorage Interfaith 
Council and the Municipality of Anchorage. The Committee 
supports $5,000,000 for providing medical and other assistance 
to improve the lives of these children. The Committee also 
supports the efforts by the Lovett Women's Center Project to 
promote personal and societal development through training and 
technical assistance and to facilitate educational exchanges 
that build institutional relationships between government and 
nongovernment organizations in the United States and the 
Russian Far East.

                            Russian Far East

    For the fifth consecutive year, the Committee recognizes 
the importance of the Russian Far East (RFE) to the overall 
future development of Russia's market economy. Untapped natural 
resources, if utilized effectively, could provide the impetus 
for the creation of a middle class in the RFE--which is vital 
to the economic future of the region. The 2000 fiscal year bill 
provided that not less than $20,000,000 be provided to the 
Russian Far East. The Committee directs the Coordinator for the 
New Independent States to provide that level of funding for 
fiscal year 2001 to worthwhile projects in the RFE.

                            RUSSIA and IRAN

    The Committee has once again conditioned assistance to 
Russia on Moscow's termination of financial and technical 
support for the Iran nuclear program. The Committee has 
included this provision in legislation for the last 4 years.
    Iran's campaign to acquire a nuclear capability is a 
serious threat to U.S. security interests and its suspension 
should be of the highest priority in the United States dialog 
with Russia.
    The Committee is deeply concerned by reports of substantial 
expansion in the number of Russian scientists involved in 
training, technology transfer, and supervision of nuclear 
testing.

                             country issues

                                ukraine

    The Committee has provided $175,000,000 to continue 
economic, legal, and political reforms in Ukraine. The 
Committee expects the Government to continue with an aggressive 
program to rationalize and improve tax collection, reduce 
government spending and exercise fiscal responsibility.
    With recent elections and changes in the President's 
Cabinet, the Committee believes Ukraine has an opportunity to 
finally implement significant economic reforms. To date, 
Ukraine has been provided substantial Committee support and 
appropriated resources which have produced little progress in 
most of the areas where USAID has chosen to concentrate U.S. 
assistance. The Committee is disappointed in the slow pace of 
improvements in agricultural privatization and production, job 
generation, growth in the private sector, the availability of 
credit, rationalizing the tax structure, or effective legal 
reform.
    Moreover, recent reports from the International Monetary 
Fund indicate officials at Ukraine's Central Bank may have 
manipulated data or misused IMF resources. Should the 
allegations prove to be true, the continued availability of 
international loans may be jeopardized with implications for 
Ukraine's economic stability. The Committee urges the 
Government of Ukraine and the managers of the Central Bank to 
fully and promptly cooperate with the IMF audit and 
investigation.
    The Committee notes improvements in the two key areas USAID 
was directed by Congress to fund. Nuclear safety initiatives 
have reduced the risks of accident and improved safety, 
security and control measures at several reactor sites in 
Ukraine. Nonetheless, the Committee continues to be concerned 
by excessive costs charged by the Department of Energy and the 
national labs to manage these programs. The Committee notes 
that language included in previous appropriation bills limited 
DOE's management costs to 9 percent of the amount of the grant 
or contract. DOE has chosen to interpret this provision as 
allowing the Department to charge 9 percent and the national 
labs to incur up to an additional 9 percent to manage 
contracts. This contradicts the Committee's intent. The 
Coordinator for Assistance is directed to resolve this issue 
promptly.
    The Committee is also impressed by the work carried out by 
the International Republican Institute and the National 
Democratic Institute to strengthen participation and education 
of voters and candidates in elections. The Committee directs 
USAID to assure continuity in support for these efforts which 
contribute to political reforms.

               UKRAINIAN LAND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT CENTER

    In fiscal year 1997, the Committee provided $5,000,000 to 
establish the Ukrainian Land Resource Management Center 
(ULRMC). Among other things, ULRMC is developing emergency 
response plans for Ukrainian nuclear power stations, providing 
land surveys for privatizing agriculture, and monitoring 
environmental quality in the Black Sea area. The Committee is 
aware that ULRMC's efforts to be self-sustaining have been 
hindered by economic conditions in Ukraine and encourages AID 
to provide an additional $5,000,000 so ULRMC can complete its 
work.

                                Georgia

    The Committee has provided $94,000,000 for activities in 
Georgia.
    The Committee commends the significant progress the 
Government of Georgia has made in training and deploying a 
Border Security Service with funds earmarked by the Committee. 
As in prior years, the Committee has earmarked $25,000,000 to 
continue with improvements and expansion of Georgia's ability 
to protect its borders and collect customs and duties. The 
Committee encourages the use of these funds to assist with the 
integration of the Coast Guard into these efforts.
    To address urgent concerns raised by Georgian officials 
regarding the procurement and management of defense resources, 
the Committee has provided $5,000,000 to implement an audit, 
investigation and oversight plan. The Committee requests 
consultation prior to the obligation of these resources.
    The Committee has closely monitored and supported the 
development of the oil pipeline from Baku, Azerbaijan to 
Ceyhan, Turkey. The Committee opposes any attempt to circumvent 
the present pipeline route and believes that the Administration 
should take steps to ensure the continued development of the 
pipeline through Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey. To assist 
these efforts, the Committee directs the Department of State to 
report within 90 days on a plan to fund and integrate 
communication equipment, training, and air lift assistance for 
pipeline security between these three countries.
    The Committee has followed negotiations over Conventional 
Forces in Europe (CFE) troop and equipment withdrawal. The 
Committee is concerned that to ensure Russian compliance with 
CFE, the United States will be expected to pay for Russian 
equipment destruction or relocation. The Committee believes 
Russia should bear the burden for its national obligation to 
comply with the CFE. However, should the Administration 
determine it is in the United States national interests to ease 
this burden, any costs assumed by the United States should at 
least be matched by a Russian contribution of in kind support. 
Therefore, the Committee directs the Administration to develop 
a plan that provides relief of debt owed for energy by Georgia 
to Russia commensurate with funds provided by the United States 
to support Russian removal of bases or personnel from Georgia 
or destruction of equipment.
    The Committee believes corruption continues to be a serious 
impediment to private investment and Georgia's economic 
progress. The Committee notes reports by a number of 
institutions including the European Bank for Reconstruction and 
Development which are highly critical of Georgia's failure to 
address this problem. The Committee requests a report from the 
Coordinator for Assistance in consultation with the U.S. 
Ambassador and Members of Georgia's Parliament on a legislative 
strategy to combat corruption.
    The Committee has provided $4,000,000 to establish an 
Absorptive Capacity Fund to enhance the ability of the Republic 
of Georgia to attract and sustain investments from private 
sector sources as well as aid from multilateral institutions. 
The Committee expects the Fund to be coordinated by Foreign Aid 
Through Education (FATE) which will draw upon academic and 
private sector expertise in the United States. From the funds 
made available, not less than $1,000,000 each shall be made 
available to: the University of Louisville for training in 
water and wastewater management, Fort Valley State University 
for training in agribusiness, and the City University of New 
York for training in transportation. With the funds provided, 
each university partner will conduct an in-country assessment 
of the training needs, provide a minimum of eight weeks of 
formal classroom training and a like period of applied 
training, and a follow up assessment of the results and 
benefits of the program. The Committee directs AID to report on 
the status of the Absorptive Capacity Fund in February 2001.

                                ARMENIA

    The Committee has provided $89,000,000 for Armenia and 
urges the government to continue to accelerate economic 
reforms.

                              CENTRAL ASIA

    The Committee is aware of the work of the Armenian 
Technology Group which uses the private sector in a seed 
multiplication program. The Committee supports the expansion of 
these efforts in three additional countries in the Central 
Asian region.

                               AZERBAIJAN

    The Committee has included a provision which restates 
section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act. However, for funds 
appropriated in this bill, the Committee has continued the 
exemption to permit the administration to provide support for 
demilitarization and related programs. In addition, the 
administration may provide support to strengthen political 
institutions. Open, elected governments responsive to citizens 
interest are essential to long-term stability.
    Like last year the Committee has also included a provision 
exempting humanitarian activities and financing and assistance 
from OPIC, the Trade and Development Agency, the Export-Import 
Bank, and activities carried out by the Foreign Commercial 
Service from section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act.

                                MONGOLIA

    The Committee has provided $12,000,000 for Mongolia from 
funds made available under the headings ``Independent States'' 
and ``Development assistance.'' Resources have been provided to 
continue to support efforts by the Mongolian Government to 
accelerate legal, political, and economic reforms while 
addressing acute health, educational, and humanitarian needs. 
The Committee applauds the AID Bureau for Humanitarian Affairs' 
prompt response to appeals for aid following devastating winter 
storms.

                          Independent Agencies


                     African Development Foundation

    Funding for this account has been included under the 
``Development assistance'' account.

                       inter-american foundation

    Funding for this account has been included under the 
``Development assistance'' account.

                              peace corps

Appropriations, 2000....................................    $245,000,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................     275,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     220,000,000

    Consistent with the Senate passed fiscal year 2000 foreign 
operations appropriations the Committee recommends $220,000,000 
for the Peace Corps for fiscal year 2001. The Committee 
supports the Director's new initiative to expand volunteer 
access to and use of information technology. The Director's 
inclusion of HIV/AIDS awareness in volunteer efforts is 
commendable and consistent with U.S. global health initiatives 
and interests.

                          Department of State


          international narcotics control and law enforcement

Appropriations, 2000....................................    $305,000,000
2000 emergency supplemental.............................     934,100,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................     312,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     220,000,000

    The Committee has provided $220,000,000 for the 
International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement account for 
fiscal year 2001. Details of the Committee's support for Plan 
Colombia and international narcotics control activities can be 
found in Title VI of this report.

                              PHILIPPINES

    The Committee is aware of recent measures taken by the 
Philippine National Police Force (PNP) to become a more 
professional organization. The Committee understands that the 
State Department Bureau of International Narcotics Control and 
Law Enforcement (the Bureau) has provided training courses for 
the PNP to assist them in these efforts. The Committee commends 
these efforts and recommends that the Bureau expand assistance 
to the PNP to support their efforts to reform.

                             Baltic States

    Since SEED assistance has been phased out for the Baltic 
States, the Committee recommends that $3,000,000 be made 
available for law enforcement training and technical assistance 
for the law enforcement agencies of the Baltic States to combat 
organized crime.
    In using these and other funds available for International 
Narcotics and Law Enforcement programs, the Committee 
recommends that Lithuania should be named as a site for pilot 
programs aimed at combating international organized crime. 
Therefore, the Committee again endorses the establishment of an 
FBI office in Lithuania and for this purpose recommends 
providing appropriate funds.

                    migration and refugee assistance

Appropriations, 2000....................................    $625,000,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................     658,212,000
Committee recommendation................................     615,000,000

    The Committee recommends $615,000,000 for the Migration and 
Refugee Assistance Program. The Committee notes the Migration 
and Refugee program has in excess of $300,000,000 in carry over 
balances from prior years, thus limiting the need for full 
funding in 2001. $60,000,000 is earmarked for refugees from the 
former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe and other refugees 
resettling in Israel. The resurgence of anti-semitism in Russia 
has led to a significant increase in Jewish emigration over the 
past 18 months. The Committee believes that the current level 
of funding should be sustained to ensure a continuation of the 
outstanding programs now serving this population.
    In the summer of 1999, the Committee received a 
notification of intent to obligate $10,000,000 for a Kosova 
Women's Initiative (KWI) to be administered by the United 
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The Committee was 
pressed by several Members to release these funds promptly to 
enable immediate support for counseling, treatment and 
assistance for women who had suffered the loss of family 
members or who had been victims of sexual violence during the 
war.
    The Committee is gravely concerned by reports from Kosova 
that 10 months after the release of these funds, less than 
$600,000 of the $10,000,000 has actually been provided to local 
organizations. Representatives of the most well established and 
effective women's health clinics, family counseling centers and 
legal aid organizations have not been funded while groups 
offering aerobics training and sewing lessons have received 
U.S. assistance. The Committee believes administration of the 
KWI is further evidence of UNHCR's inability to effectively 
manage limited resources to achieve even minimal results. Thus, 
the Committee has once again included a provision that any 
assistance provided by the Bureau to the UNHCR is subject to 
notification.

                             CHILD REFUGEES

    The Committee supports continued funding for programs for 
unaccompanied and at-risk refugee children. The Committee 
recommends that the Department of State provide funding through 
NGOs and appropriate United Nations agencies for children who 
are orphaned, separated from their parents or have other 
special needs as a result of armed conflict or other causes of 
forced migration. United States funding should support programs 
that are in addition to planned UNHCR programs.

                            TIBETAN REFUGEES

    The Committee directs the State Department to provide 
$2,000,000 for humanitarian assistance, including food, 
medicine, clothing and medical and vocational training to 
Tibetan refugees in India and Nepal.

    The Committee has provided $215,000,000 for the NADR 
account for fiscal year 2001, which is equivalent to the amount 
provided in the 2000 fiscal year. The following is a chart that 
indicates fiscal year 2000 funding for the programs covered by 
this account, as well as the Administration's request for 
fiscal year 2001 and the Committee recommendations for fiscal 
year 2001:

\1\ Funding for the Science Centers was provided by the Assistance to the Independent States of the Former
  Soviet Union account for fiscal year 1999 and fiscal year 2000.

                         ANTI-TERRORISM CENTER

    The Committee did not provide funds for the 
administration's request for the construction of an Anti-
Terrorism Center. Requests for construction for the Department 
of State are within the jurisdiction and oversight of the 
Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, State, Justice and the 
Judiciary.

                            SCIENCE CENTERS

    The Committee has provided $20,000,000 for the Science 
Centers program. The Administration requested $45,000,000. The 
Committee continues to have reservations about the ability of 
the State Department Non Proliferation Bureau to effectively 
monitor this program. The Committee was disturbed to learn 
that, after at least 5 years of interaction between the State 
Department and Russian scientists, relations remain guarded. 
The Committee requests the General Accounting Office to provide 
a report 150 days after the date of enactment on the ability of 
the Non Proliferation Bureau to oversee the activities of the 
participants in the Science Centers program and the extent to 
which the program's projects are meeting their non-
proliferation objectives.

          COMPREHENSIVE TEST BAN TREATY PREPARATORY COMMISSION

    The Committee has provided $15,000,000 for the 
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) Preparatory Commission, 
$6,500,000 below the Administration's request. The Committee 
notes that for the past 2 years, the Administration's request 
for the CTBT Preparatory Commission has exceeded the actual 
needs. The Committee notes that the CTBT Preparatory Commission 
has continually promised reimbursements and/or reduced 
assessments for services performed by the United States, none 
of which has been made available to date. The Committee looks 
forward to a reduced assessment for the United States in the 
coming fiscal year.
    The Committee has required the Department of State to 
prepare a report on the anticipated use of funds made available 
to the CTBT Preparatory Commission. The Committee requests that 
the report: (1) identify all donors and any directives or 
restrictions associated with their contribution; (2) a detailed 
explanation of expenditures in 2000 and 2001, including sites 
where the United States has provided assistance to third party 
nations; and (3) a copy of the Commissions's 2001 budget.

                    NONPROLIFERATION AND DISARMAMENT

    The Committee supports the activities carried out by this 
fund for controlling the spread of nuclear weapons and 
material, particularly efforts made to limit nuclear smuggling.

                       EXPORT CONTROL ASSISTANCE

    The Statement of Managers accompanying the fiscal year 2000 
Foreign Operations Conference Report provided $15,000,000 for 
Export Control Assistance (ECA). Initially,the administration 
decided to allocate only $10,780,000 for fiscal year 2000 for 
ECA. Only at the insistence of the Committee was this level 
raised to $14,530,000 for fiscal year 2000. The Committee 
supports the work of the Bureau of Political Military Affairs 
for export controls and directs that $10,000,000 be provided 
for fiscal year 2001.

                                DEMINING

    The Committee has provided $40,000,000 for the Department 
of State's humanitarian demining programs, which may be made 
available through governments, nongovernmental organizations, 
and private contractors, for the removal of landmines and other 
unexploded ordnance [UXO], and related activities. The 
Committee intends that these programs will emphasize the 
training of indigenous civilian deminers, mine awareness and 
education, mapping and marking, surveys of mine incidents, and 
outreach to mine-affected areas to monitor the needs of mine 
and UXO victims.

              DESTRUCTION OF SMALL ARMS AND LIGHT WEAPONS

    The Committee strongly supports initiatives in Eastern and 
Central Europe, Africa, and other regions to destroy small arms 
and light weapons to promote lasting peace in former conflict 
zones.

                       Department of the Treasury


               international affairs technical assistance

Appropriations, 2000....................................      $1,500,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................       7,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       5,000,000

    In prior years, the Department of the Treasury has carried 
out technical assistance programs supported by transfers from 
the Agency for International Development. The Committee directs 
AID to continue this support to supplement the funds 
appropriated by the Committee.
    Last year, the Committee requested a report from the 
Department on expansion initiatives and cost control plans. The 
Committee notes this report has not been provided and directs 
the Department to prepare the report or jeoparize further 
congressional support.

                           Debt Restructuring

Appropriations, 2000....................................    $123,000,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................     262,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      75,000,000

    The Committee has provided $75,000,000 to meet the 
administration's debt restructuring requirements as a component 
of economic assistance. These resources can be made available 
for bilateral debt or the Highly Indebted Poor Country 
Initiative and the associated Trust Fund.

                               TITLE III

                          MILITARY ASSISTANCE

Budget estimate, 2001...................................      55,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      55,000,000

    The Committee recommends $55,000,000 for the International 
Military Education and Training [IMET] Program.

                       Foreign Military Financing

                          grant program level

                (limitation on administrative expenses)

Appropriations, 2000....................................     $30,495,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................      33,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      33,000,000

    The Committee continues to support FMF grant assistance to 
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Consistent with the last year's 
levels, the Committee recommends $20,000,000 in FMF grant 
assistance to these countries. The assistance accelerates the 
Baltic States' integration into NATO and supports these 
democracies as they enhance military capacities and adopt NATO 
standards.
    The Committee supports continued FMF assistance to Bulgaria 
as a candidate for NATO enlargement. Funding for command, 
control and communications modernization of the Rapid Reaction 
Brigade of Bulgarian Land Forces would contribute to Bulgaria's 
interoperability with NATO and strengthen its ability to 
participate in NATO-led operations.

                               LANDMINES

    The Committee again includes language permitting demining 
equipment to be made available on a grant basis to foreign 
countries. The Committee strongly supports continued use of FMF 
funds for activities to assist in locating and destroying 
unexploded landmines and unexploded ordnance that maim and kill 
innocent people around the world.

                              PHILIPPINES

    Like last year, the Committee recommends that not less than 
$5,000,000 in Foreign Military Financing funds be provided to 
the Philippines. These funds will help the Philippines 
modernize their military and to ensure freedom of the seas in 
the Pacific.

                        Peacekeeping Operations

Appropriations, 2000....................................    $153,000,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................     134,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      85,000,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $85,000,000. 
The Committee intends no funds be made available for 
peacekeeping in Haiti.

                                TITLE IV

                    MULTILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

              International Financial Institutions Summary

Appropriations, 2000....................................  $1,115,018,000
Budget estimate, 2001...................................   1,353,916,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,027,879,000

    The Committee recommends the total level of paid-in capital 
funding shown above to provide for contributions to the 
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, 
International Development Association, Multilateral Investment 
Guarantee Agency, the Global Environment Facility, the Inter-
American Development Bank's Inter-American Investment 
Corporation, the Asian Development Bank, the African 
Development Bank and Fund and the European Bank for 
Reconstruction and Development.

                       INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

               GRIEVANCE PROCESS REFORM AND GENDER ISSUES

    World Bank.--The Committee has closely followed efforts by 
the World Bank to reform its internal grievance process, and 
recognizes that the success of these reforms depends on their 
implementation. However, while there have been positive steps, 
the World Bank has yet to address serious structural flaws, or 
to apply standards and procedures which ensure justice, 
fairness and accountability. As long as the international 
financial institutions (IFIs) are immune from the judicial 
process, they need to ensure that complaints are independently 
investigated and adjudicated according to judicial (as opposed 
to administrative) standards and procedures, and that managers 
are punished for misconduct, especially retaliation, which has 
been a persistent problem. The Committee believes that the 
World Bank should be a model of governance for the IFIs. They 
should establish a formal ``external'' adjudication process 
that is independent of management, with the authority to award 
all appropriate remedies, including reinstatement, and to 
recommend disciplinary action, comprised of individuals with 
expertise in such issues as sexual harassment, retaliation, and 
other workplace misconduct. The World Bank's and the other 
IFIs' response to these recommendations will bear on 
Congressional support for these institutions in fiscal year 
2001 and beyond.
    International Monetary Fund.--The Committee also has 
concerns about the IMF's internal grievance process, as well as 
the IMF's failure to meet many of the recommendations of its 
1994 Working Group on the Status of Women, especially regarding 
steps to increase the number of women in managerial positions. 
The Committee calls on the IMF to obtain a current regression 
analysis to determine what further steps are needed to correct 
the persistent gender disparities in hiring and promotion. The 
Committee will make its own recommendations based on the 
results of that analysis.

Budget estimate, 2001...................................     354,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     288,000,000

    The Committee has provided $288,000,000 for the 
``International organizations and programs'' account. This 
amount does not included funding for the Korea Peninsula 
Economic Development Organization and the International Atomic 
Energy Agency which are provided for in the Nonproliferation, 
Antiterrorism, Demining, and Related Programs section of the 
bill.

                   UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

    The Committee is encouraged by the direction taken by UNDP 
in the past year to focus its efforts on promoting good 
governance and local institution building, which are key to the 
effectiveness of other assistance efforts in developing 
countries. The Committee recommends $85,000,000 for UNDP in 
fiscal year 2001.

               UNITED NATIONS FUND FOR VICTIMS OF TORTURE

    The Committee is aware that the use of torture is common in 
many countries today. The U.N. Fund for Victims of Torture 
provides financial support to treatment programs based in the 
United States and abroad. The Committee recommends $5,000,000 
for a U.S. contribution to the voluntary fund in fiscal year 
2001 and continues to urge the Department of State to encourage 
other governments to increase their own contributions. The 
Committee hopes that by increasing U.S. support for efforts to 
assist torture victims other governments will be encouraged to 
do likewise.

             INTERNATIONAL FUND FOR AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee continues to strongly support the 
International Fund for Agriculture Development [IFAD]. The 
Committee is pleased that the United States has joined 
consultations on future funding for the institution. The 
Committee urges AID to play a leadership role in the 
consultation process and strongly believes that the United 
States should continue to contribute resources to the 
institution at a level that equips IFAD to meet its needs and 
to continue promoting rural food security thoughout the 
developing world.

                      PUSH INTO SOUTHERN COLOMBIA

    The Administration's Supplemental request of $1,073,500,000 
for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 augments base programs for 
fiscal year 2000 of $305,000,000 and a fiscal year 2001 request 
of $312,000,000.
    The Administration proposes dedicating substantial 
resources to Plan Colombia, a counter-narcotics initiative 
developed under the leadership of Colombian President Pastrana. 
The Administration's stated objectives of this emergency 
request are to help the Colombian military regain control and 
increase eradication activities in the southern coca growing 
region currently dominated by narco-traffickers and the 
insurgent Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. The 
Administration also plans to promote alternative crop and 
employment opportunities in the southern region once it has 
been secured. In addition, Plan Colombia envisions 
strengthening government and non-governmental organizations' 
capacity to improve the delivery of social services and the 
protection of human rights.
    For the past several years, the Committee has supported 
increases in the Bureau for International Narcotics Control and 
Law Enforcement (INL) programs precisely because of the 
explosive growth in the production, trafficking and use of 
cocaine. Since 1992, Colombian coca production has tripled with 
Colombian traffickers now supplying 80 percent of the cocaine 
used in the United States. The Administration's dedication of 
resources and leadership in response to this crisis has been 
slow and inadequate.
    Historically, INL has provided support to the Colombian 
National Police. The Supplemental anticipates a 7:1 shift in 
funding from the Police to the Army. Given the past limited 
role and resources provided for counter-narcotics activities in 
Colombia and the region, the Committee is concerned about the 
rapid, new, and unprecedented levels of spending requested. The 
fiscal year 2000 program level of $50,000,000 for Colombia will 
now rise to nearly $1,000,000,000. The Committee has grave 
reservations regarding the Administration's ability to 
effectively manage the use of these resources to achieve the 
expected results of reducing production and supply of cocaine 
while protecting human rights.
    The Committee has provided $110,000,000 for the 
refurbishment and procurement of 60 Huey II helicopters to 
assist in the execution of the Colombian Counter-narcotics 
Battalion (CNBN) mission. In addition, the Committee has 
provided $8,500,000 for operating expenses. The Administration 
requested $388,000,000 to procure and support 30 Blackhawk 
helicopters which could not be made available until the end of 
2001. Given the urgency of the crisis, the Committee has 
determined it is important to procure aircraft which can be 
made available sooner. The Committee believes the range, speed 
and capabilities of the Huey II meet the force protection and 
mission requirements to transport counter-narcotics squadrons 
from headquarters to field areas for potential combat 
operations. While the Committee does not share the 
Administration's concerns regarding the Huey II's troop 
carrying capacity, the Committee has agreed to increase the 
number of aircraft made available to accomodate any lift 
requirements.
    According to testimony by General Wilhelm, Commander in 
Chief, Southern Command, the counter-narcotics effort in 
Colombia is expected to be carried out over a 6-year period. 
The Committee presumes the Congress will be asked to support a 
large portion of the costs involved in the execution of this 
plan. Therefore, a primary consideration affecting the 
Committee's selection of helicopters must be the long term 
operational costs associated with the aircraft. Data provided 
by INL and the Department of Defense indicates both the 
procurement and the hourly costs for operation of the Huey II 
is substantially less than the Blackhawk.
    The Committee is concerned that the justification material 
provided is extremely general and reflects considerable 
redundancy in the requests. The request includes multiple line 
item entries for the same items including ammunition, fuel, 
logistics support and communications equipment. This repetition 
creates an impression that the Administration does not have a 
clear accounting of anticipated requirements. For example, the 
request to ``sustain the Counter-narcotics Battalion'' includes 
a large communications component virtually identical to the 
request for ``CNBN communications.'' Because of these 
redundancies and ambiguities the Committee has included 
language which requires a report detailing country by country 
planned expenditures with more complete justification 
information regarding the equipment, training and support the 
United States intends to provide.
    Because of these ambiguities, the Committee has fully 
funded fiscal year 2000 requirements but exercised caution in 
full funding for fiscal year 2001 requests. The Committee will 
evaluate emerging 2001 requirements during the regular 
consideration of the annual appropriations bills.

                       COLOMBIAN NATIONAL POLICE

    The Colombian National Police (CNP), led by General 
Serrano, has aggressively broken up the major trafficking 
cartels and effectively conducted lab and coca eradication 
efforts. The Committee commends the Police for carrying out 
these activities while maintaining a laudable track record of 
respect for human rights. General Serrano has set an admirable 
standard for professional conduct, swiftly addressing 
allegations of corruption or abuse. The Committee encourages 
the Army to meet these standards. The Committee expects the 
Police to continue to play an important role in counter-
narcotics activities in Colombia.
    The Committee recommendation funds the following

        alternative development and internally displaced people

    The Committee is concerned that the Army's push into 
southern Colombia will exacerbate the current problems of 
internally displaced people. Currently, 1,400,000 people are 
estimated to be displaced by drug trafficking and conflict in 
Colombia. In recognition of this problem, the Committee has 
provided a total of $39,500,000 to support internally displaced 
people. Of this total, $15,000,000 is included in the resources 
related to the Army's push into southern Colombia.
    The Committee does not believe alternative development or 
economic activities are likely to flourish in southern Colombia 
during the Army's initial push. However, in recognition that 
there are longer term interests in creating employment and 
alternatives to illegal crops, which may be possible beyond 
fiscal year 2001, the Committee has provided funds to expand 
the Agency for International Development's operations and for 
development programs, which are available until expended.
    However, in recognition that there are longer term

through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which are available 
until expended.

                              HUMAN RIGHTS

    The Committee notes that of the administration's 
$1,073,500,000 request for anti-narcotics assistance for fiscal 
years 2000 and 2001, less than $25,000,000 in each year is 
designated for protecting human rights, strengthening the 
judicial system, and supporting peace initiatives. This limited 
support is of concern given widespread recognition that the 
judicial system is ineffective, that far more needs to be done 
to investigate, prosecute and punish individuals responsible 
for violating human rights, and that peace initiatives serve 
U.S. interests in regional stability.
    The Committee is concerned that as the operational tempo of 
anti-narcotics efforts increases sharply, the potential for 
human rights violations will also increase. Accordingly, the 
Committee has substantially increased funding, as well as 
funded new initiatives in human rights, administration of 
justice, and peace related programs. In this regard, the 
Committee directs as follows:
  --$25,000,000 shall be available to establish Colombian 
        National Police/Fiscalia Human Rights Units. These 
        funds should be used to pay for communications 
        equipment; equipment for forensic investigations; 
        computers and related technical assistance; and 
        additional prosecutors and investigators. The Committee 
        is aware that the Fiscalia Human Rights Units lack the 
        ability to respond rapidly to reports of human rights 
        violations in remote areas. The Committee also notes 
        that the Fiscalia and the Colombian National Police are 
        establishing joint task forces to conduct such 
        investigations. The Committee encourages the CNP to 
        respond positively and promptly to requests by the 
        Fiscalia for CNP helicopter transport to the scene of 
        such violations, so proper investigations can be 
        carried out.
  --$10,000,000 shall be available for Witness and Judicial 
        Security in human rights cases. The Administration did 
        not request funds for these purposes, however, the 
        Committee believes this support is essential for the 
        protection of witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, 
        public defenders, and judges specifically in human 
        rights cases.
  --$1,000,000 shall be available for the U.N. Human Rights 
        Office. The Administration did not request this 
        funding. These funds should be used to strengthen the 
        U.N. Office's field observation and investigative work.
  --$5,000,000 shall be available for Conflict Management and 
        Comparative Peace Process. The Administration requested 
        $1,000,000 for these activities which the Committee 
        believes should be significantly expanded to encompass 
        peace and conflict resolution initiatives and related 
        educational programs involving the participation of a 
        broad cross-section of Colombian society, including 
        representatives of civic groups, the business 
        community, religious leaders, the media, Armed Forces, 
        and other groups.
  --$1,500,000 shall be available to enhance the United States 
        Government's capabilities to monitor the use of United 
        States assistance to Colombian Armed Forces and 
        National Police and to investigate reports of 
        violations of human rights.
    The Committee notes that while the Colombian Government 
deserves credit for dismissing some military officers for 
alleged ties to paramilitary groups, none of these officers 
have been prosecuted. During consideration of the Supplemental 
request, the Committee heard testimony about continuing, 
widespread ties between Colombian Army personnel and 
paramilitaries. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human 
Rights (UNHCHR) reported a sharp increase in massacres by 
paramilitary groups in 1999.
    The Committee is aware that Colombian officials have 
publicly pledged to protect human rights and prosecute in 
civilian courts members of the Armed Forces who violate human 
rights or aid and abet paramilitary groups. However, the 
Committeee is concerned that human rights have not been 
sufficiently treated as a priority by the Colombian government. 
In 1997, the Colombian Constitutional Court ruled that gross 
violations of human rights should be prosecuted in civilian 
courts, but the Colombian Army has regularly sought and 
succeeded in transferring such cases to military courts where 
they often languish indefinitely. The Committee notes that, in 
contrast, the Colombian National Police have moved aggressively 
to dismiss members who are implicated in human rights 
violations, corruption and drug trafficking.
    The administration's request includes funding for human 
rights, administration of justice, and peace related programs. 
The Committee supports these activities and has provided 
additional funding for them. However, the Colombian justice 
system is ineffective and corrupt, and scores of human rights 
investigators and prosecutors have fled the country on account 
of death threats. It will take years before the rule of law 
prevails in Colombia. Given the ongoing, widespread human 
rights problems in Colombia, the Committee believes that the 
substantial amounts of assistance for the Colombian Armed 
Forces provided for in this Act must be conditioned on the 
actual protection of human rights and punishment of individuals 
who violate human rights. The Committee has included such 
conditions, which are consistent with the pledges of Colombian 
officials. Additionally, the Committee directs the Secretary of 
State to submit a report to the appropriate congressional 
committees containing the following--
    1. A description of the extent to which the Colombian Armed 
Forces have suspended from duty any Colombian Armed Forces 
personnel who are credibly alleged to have committed gross 
violations of human rights, and the extent to which such 
personnel have been brought to justice in Colombia's civilian 
courts, including a description of the charges brought and the 
disposition of such cases.
    2. An assessment of efforts made by the Colombian Armed 
Forces, National Police, and Attorney General to disband 
paramilitary groups, including the names of Colombian Armed 
Forces personnel brought to justice for aiding and abetting 
paramilitary groups and the names of paramilitary leaders and 
members who were indicted, arrested and prosecuted.
    3. A description of the extent to which the Colombian Armed 
Forces cooperate with civilian authorities in investigating and 
prosecuting human rights violations allegedly committed by its 
personnel, including the number of such personnel being 
investigated for human rights violations who are suspended from 
duty.
    4. A description of the extent to which attacks against 
human rights defenders, government prosecutors and 
investigators, and officials of the civilian judicial system in 
Colombia are being investigated and the alleged perpetrators 
brought to justice.
    5. An estimate of the number of Colombian civilians 
displaced as a result of the ``push into southern Colombia,'' 
and actions taken to address the social and economic needs of 
these people.
    6. A description of actions taken by the United States to 
promote and support a negotiated settlement of the conflict in 
Colombia.
    The report is to be submitted 60 days after the date of 
enactment of the Act, and every 180 days thereafter for the 
duration of the provision of resources administereed under this 
Act.
    The Committee has funded the following:

                          REGIONAL ASSISTANCE

    The Committee is concerned that the Administration has 
placed insufficient financial and political priority on 
addressing the problems of narcotics trafficking throughout the 
region. Production and trafficking patterns indicate that 
effective pressure on one region or country simply pushes the 
problem into neighboring areas.
    Recognizing the requirement for a comprehensive approach 
and solution, the Committee has substantially increased 
resources made available to Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia and to 
other counter-narcotics partners in central and South America 
and the Carribean.
    In particular, the Committee commends the Bolivian 
government for its aggressive and successful coca eradication 
efforts. The State Department recently reported, ``exceeding 
the schedule of its own 5-year plan to eliminate illicit coca 
from Bolivia, in 1999 the Banzer Administration eradicated an 
unprecedented 16,999 hectares of coca, for a net reduction of 
43 percent.'' The Committee has provided full funding of the 
Banzer government's request to complete this ambitious 
eradication and economic development strategy.
    The Committee directs that $12,000,000 be provided for the 
purchase of fast patrol boats for the Government of the Bahamas 
to assist them in their drug interdiction efforts.
    The Committee has funded the following:

                             CHILD SOLDIERS

    The Committee recognizes the serious problem of child 
soldiers--engaged on all sides of the conflict in Colombia. 
Child soldiers continue to be used extensively not only by the 
military but by paramilitary and guerrilla groups as well. 
There are thousands of children under the age of 18 serving in 
Colombia's armed forces. Up to 50 percent of some paramilitary 
units are made up of children as young as eight. Colombia's 
three largest guerrilla groups all recruit children, with some 
militia units comprised of up to 85 percent children, many 
under age 15. The Committee instructs the Secretary of State to 
transfer $5,000,000 to the Department of Labor for the 
rehabilitation and demobilization of child soldiers. The 
Committee recognizes the important work on rehabilitating child 
soldiers being carried out in Colombia by non-government 
organizations including the Colombia Coalition to Stop the Use 
of Child Soldiers, Justapaz, Asoda, Ceda Vida, and Defense for 
Children International. The Committee urges the Department of 
Labor to work with these and similar groups to develop and fund 
programs providing counseling, education and reintegration 
services to former child soldiers.

                      SMALL ARMS AND LIGHT WEAPONS

    The Committee notes that the proliferation of small arms 
and light weapons in Colombia is a serious problem. Most of the 
weapons used by criminals, drug traffickers, narco-terrorists, 
and paramilitaries are recycled from previous conflicts or from 
existing military stockpiles in the region.
    The Committee therefore strongly recommends that the 
Department of State establish a registry of the serial numbers 
of all small arms and light weapons transferred or sold by the 
United States to Colombia under this Act. The Committee expects 
that the Government of Colombia will provide to the United 
States a corresponding registry of small arms and light weapons 
received under this Act by serial number, down to the company-
grade level, updating as necessary. In conformity with Section 
505a(2) and 505c(3) of the Foreign Assistance Act, the 
Government of Colombia is expected to maintain U.S. standards 
of stockpile security and that weapons transferred under this 
Act will be subject to post-delivery verification of end-use, 
and that the Departments of State and Defense will periodically 
review Colombia's stockpile security program to ensure that 
they meet U.S. standards, reporting any irregularities to the 
appropriate committees of Congress.
    The Committee strongly recommends that $2,665,000 be 
designated for the creation of a Small Arms and Light Weapons 
Destruction Initiative, to include Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, 
Bolivia, and Panama, to include the cantonment and destruction 
of small arms and light weapons, including those seized, 
surplus to defense needs and those acquired through buy-back or 
other turn-in programs, by means consistent with local labor, 
available technology, environmental regulations, and other 
relevant conditions. The Committee expects the Departments of 
State and Defense, in consultation with local governments, to 
promulgate guidelines for this initiative and provide technical 
assistance to assist with the implementation of this program, 
as necessary.

    The Committee has appropriated $25,000,000 to meet 
Mozambique's pressing requirements for food, medicine, shelter 
and related emergency support. The Committee also intends that 
resources be made available by transfer to support restoration 
of agricultural productivity in Mozambique.
    The Committee has supported the draw down of $37,600,000 in 
Defense Department stocks and services to meet urgent needs. 
The Committee strongly supports the deployment of aircraft and 
personnel along with equipment to carry out search, rescue and 
support for the more than two million people who have been 
affected by the flooding.
    The Committee has provided $37,600,000 to replenish the 
stockpiles drawn down by the Defense Department, as well as 
providing that the amount made available for Mozambique shall 
not count against the annual ceiling of funds which can be made 
available for draw down.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The Committee recommends $17,850,000 for the Drug 
Enforcement Administration. Of this amount $6,650,000 is 
provided for DEA activities in support of Plan Colombia, and 
$1,200,000 should be used by the DEA for needed assets in the 
Bahamas as follows: $600,000 to establish a fully vetted and 
equipped Special Investigative Unit, $100,000 for a mobile 
collection platform, $450,000 for two high performance ``go-
fast'' boats and related equipment to increase enforcement and 
interdiction of maritime drug traffickers, and $50,000 for the 
recurring operational expenses of the boats. Finally, 
$10,000,000 is included for the Drug Enforcement Agency to 
assist in State and local methamphetamine lab cleanup 
(including reimbursement for costs incurred by State and local 
government for lab cleanup since March 2000). The Committee 
expects the DEA to submit a spending plan prior to the 
expenditure of these funds.

        of supplies and equipment returned to the working 
        capital of the fund by a post, activity or agency and

and by planning, initiating, assisting, financing, 
administering, and executing programs and projects designed to 
promote the achievement of such purposes.
    [(d) In carrying out its functions under this section, the 
Foundation shall, to the maximum extent possible, coordinate

American States, the United States Government, international 
organizations, and other entities engaged in promoting social

        its purposes, whether within or without the United

                 GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS ACT

    The Committee has reviewed the various reports provided by 
the Agency for International Development on its adherence to 
the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). The 
Committee believes that AID is trying to meet the requirements 
of the law. However, in doing so, the Committee notes that the 
goals enumerated in the reports are too ambiguous to lend 
themselves to credible evaluations of success or measurement of 
benchmarks toward that success. Also, though subject to past 
criticism for its methods of assessment, AID continues to rely 
on country level statistics obtained from secondary sources, 
mostly international institutions such as the World Bank, the 
United Nations and the Organization for Economic Cooperation 
and Development for its data. The Committee intends to work 
with AID in the coming year to create a format for future 
reports that will meet both the law's requirements and provide 
the necessary information for accurate assessments of AID's 
work in the field.
