SEC. 132. FINDINGS.

        times, deal honestly and openly with patients. Any attempt to 
        subvert the private and sensitive physician-patient 
        relationship would be intolerable in the United States and is 
        an unjustifiable intrusion into the practices of health care 
        providers when attempted in other countries.
            (2) Freedom of speech is a fundamental American value. The 
        ability to exercise the right to free speech, which includes 
        the ``right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to 
        petition the government for a redress of grievances'' is 
        essential to a thriving democracy and is protected under the 
        United States Constitution.
            (3) The promotion of democracy is a principal goal of 
        United States foreign policy and critical to achieving 
        sustainable development. It is enhanced through the 
        encouragement of democratic institutions and the promotion of 
        an independent and politically active civil society in 
        developing countries.
            (4) Limiting eligibility for United States development and 
        humanitarian assistance upon the willingness of a foreign 
        nongovernmental organization to forgo its right to use its own 
        funds to address, within the democratic process, a particular 
        issue affecting the citizens of its own country directly 
        undermines a key goal of United States foreign policy and would 
        violate the United States Constitution if applied to United 
        States-based organizations.
            (5) Similarly, limiting the eligibility for United States 
        assistance on a foreign nongovernmental organization's 
        willingness to forgo its right to provide, with its own funds, 
        medical services that are legal in its own country and would be 
        legal if provided in the United States constitutes 
        unjustifiable interference with the ability of independent 
        organizations to serve the critical health needs of their 
        fellow citizens and demonstrates a disregard and disrespect for 
        the laws of sovereign nations as well as for the laws of the 
        United States.

SEC. 133. ASSISTANCE FOR FOREIGN NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS UNDER 
                    PART I OF THE FOREIGN ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1961.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, regulation, or policy, 
in determining eligibility for assistance authorized under part I of 
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151 et seq.), foreign 
nongovernmental organizations--
            (1) shall not be ineligible for such assistance solely on 
        the basis of health or medical services including counseling 
        and referral services, provided by such organizations with non-
        United States Government funds if such services do not violate 
        the laws of the country in which they are being provided and 
        would not violate United States Federal law if provided in the 
        United States; and
            (2) shall not be subject to requirements relating to the 
        use of non-United States Government funds for advocacy and 
        lobbying activities other than those that apply to United 
        States nongovernmental organizations receiving assistance under 
        part I of such Act.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:

        resulting from increasingly cheap, pure, and deadly heroin 
        flooding into this country, much of it from Colombia.
            (2) Interdicting heroin entering the United States is 
        difficult, in part because it can be trafficked in such small 
        quantities.
            (3) Destruction of opium, from which heroin is derived, at 
        its source in Colombia is traditionally one of the best 
        strategies to combat the heroin crisis according to Federal law 
        enforcement officials.
    (b) Report to Congress.--Not later than 60 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, through the Bureau 
of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, shall submit to the 
Congress a report which outlines a comprehensive strategy to address 
the crisis of heroin in the United States due to opium originating from

SEC. 211. REPORT CONCERNING THE EFFECT OF PLAN COLOMBIA ON ECUADOR.

    (a) Findings.-- The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) There is a growing alarm concerning the spillover 
        effect of Plan Colombia on Ecuador, a frontline state. The 
        northern region of Ecuador, including the Sucumbios province, 
        is an area of particular concern. It faces the Colombian 
        Putumayo zone, where there is no presence of military or law 
        enforcement personnel.
            (2) Activities relating to the implementation of Plan 
        Colombia have resulted in incursions on Ecuadorian territory by 
        drug traffickers and guerrilla and paramilitary groups from 
        Colombia and a concomitant increase in the levels of violence 
        and delinquency. Recent kidnappings of American and other 
        foreign nationals, as well as discoveries of clandestine 
        cocaine laboratories, are especially troublesome.
            (3) Ecuador is receiving an influx of Colombian refugees 
        and its own indigenous communities have been displaced from 
        their ancestral villages.
            (4) Ecuador has demonstrated its moral and political 
        commitment in the fight against drugs. The agreement signed in 
        November 1999 with the United States to establish a forward 
        operating location in Manta is a clear sign of this active 
        stance.
            (5) Ecuador is implementing a comprehensive program aimed 
        at reinforcing its security mechanisms in the northern border, 
        as well as converting the area into a buffer zone of peace and 
        development.
    (b) Report to Congress.-- Not later than 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, through the Bureau of 
International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, shall submit to Congress a 
report which outlines a comprehensive strategy to address the spillover 
effect of Plan Colombia on Ecuador.

SEC. 212. REPORT CONCERNING EFFORTS TO PROMOTE ISRAEL'S DIPLOMATIC 
                    RELATIONS WITH OTHER COUNTRIES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Israel is a friend and ally of the United States whose 
        security is vital to regional stability and United States 
        interests.
            (2) Israel currently maintains diplomatic relations with 
        162 countries. Approximately 25 countries do not have any 
        diplomatic relations with Israel and another 4 countries have 
        only limited relations.
            (3) The government of Israel has been actively seeking to 
        establish formal relations with a number of countries.
            (4) The United States should assist its ally, Israel, in 
        its efforts to establish diplomatic relations.
            (5) After 52 years of existence, Israel deserves to be 
        treated as an equal nation by its neighbors and the world 
        community.
    (b) Report concerning United States Efforts to Promote Israel's 
Diplomatic Relations with Other Countries.--Not later than 60 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, 
the Secretary of State shall submit a report which includes the 
following information (in classified or unclassified form, as 
appropriate) to the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on 
Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on International 
Relations and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of 
Representatives:
            (1) Actions taken by representatives of the United States 
        to encourage other countries to establish full diplomatic 
        relations with Israel.
            (2) Specific responses solicited and received by the 
        Secretary of State from countries that do not maintain full 
        diplomatic relations with Israel with respect to the status of 
        negotiations to enter into diplomatic relations with Israel.
            (3) Other measures being undertaken, and measures that will 
        be undertaken, by the United States to ensure and promote 
        Israel's full participation in the world diplomatic community.

                counternarcotics activities carried out by the business 
                in Colombia.
                    (B) The total value of all payments by the

                    (C) A written statement justifying the decision by 
                the Department of State to enter into an agreement with

information:
            (1) United States procedures for the identification of 
        refugees who are particularly vulnerable or whose individual 
        circumstances otherwise suggest an urgent need for 
        resettlement, including the extent to which the Department now 
        insists on referral by the United Nations High Commissioner for 
        Refugees as a prerequisite to consideration of such refugees 
        for resettlement in the United States, together with a plan for 
        the expanded use of alternatives to such referral, including 
        the use of field-based nongovernmental organizations to 
        identify refugees in urgent need of resettlement.
            (2) The extent to which the Department makes use in 
        overseas refugee processing of the designation of groups of 
        refugees who are of special concern to the United States, 
        together with the reasons for any decline in such use over the 
        last 10 years and a plan for making more generous use of such 
        categories in the future.
            (3) The extent to which the United States currently 
        provides opportunities for resettlement in the United States of 
        individuals who are close family members of citizens or lawful 
        residents of the United States, together with the reasons for 
        any decline in the extent of such provision over the last 10 
        years and a plan for expansion of such opportunities in the 
        future.
            (4) The extent to which opportunities for resettlement in 
        the United States are currently provided to ``urban refugees'' 
        and others who do not currently reside in refugee camps, 
        together with a plan for increasing such opportunities, 
        particularly for refugees who are in urgent need of 
        resettlement, who are members of refugee groups of special 
        interest to the United States, or who are close family members 
        of United States citizens or lawful residents.
            (5) The Department's assessment of the feasibility and 
        desirability of modifying the Department's current list of 
        refugee priorities to create an additional category for 
        refugees whose need for resettlement is based on a long period 
        of residence in a refugee camp with no immediate prospect of 
        safe and voluntary repatriation to their country of origin or 
        last permanent residence.
            (6) The extent to which the Department uses private 
        voluntary agencies to assist in the identification of refugees 
        for admission to the United States, including the Department's 
        assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of private 
        voluntary agencies, the reasons for any decline in the 
        Department's use of voluntary agencies over the last 10 years, 
        and a plan for the expanded use of such agencies.
            (7) The extent to which the per capita reception and 
        placement grant to voluntary agencies assisting in resettlement 
        of refugees has kept up over the last 10 years with the cost to 
        such agencies of providing such services.
            (8) An estimate of the cost of each change in current 
        practice or procedure discussed in the report, together with an 
        estimate of any increase in the annual refugee admissions 
        ceiling that would be necessary to implement each change.

            (1) It is in the national interest of the United States to 
        promote mutual understanding between the people of the United 
        States and other nations.
            (2) Among the means to be used in achieving this objective 
        are a wide range of international educational and cultural 
        exchange programs, including the J. William Fulbright 
        Educational Exchange Program and the International Visitors 
        Program.
            (3) Cultural diplomacy, especially the presentation abroad 
        of the finest of America's creative, visual and performing 
        arts, is an especially effective means of advancing the United 
        States national interest.
            (4) The financial support available for international 
        cultural and scholarly exchanges has declined by approximately 
        10 per cent in recent years.
            (5) Funds appropriated for the purpose of ensuring that the 
        excellence, diversity, and vitality of the arts in the United 
        States are presented to foreign audiences by, and in 
        cooperation with, our diplomatic and consular representatives 
        have declined dramatically.
            (6) One of the ways to deepen and expand cultural and 
        educational exchange programs is through the establishment of 
        nonprofit entities to encourage the participation and financial 
        support of corporations and other private sector contributors.
            (7) The United States private sector should be encouraged 
        to cooperate closely with the Secretary of State and 
        representatives of the Department to expand and spread 
        appreciation of United States cultural and artistic 
        accomplishments.

the Secretary of State and the United States Representative to the 
United Nations to urge the United Nations to adopt an HIV/AIDS 
mitigation strategy as a component of United Nations peacekeeping 
operations.

AIDS programs administered by agencies of the Federal Government and to

the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

SEC. 733. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONDEMNING THE DESTRUCTION OF PRE-ISLAMIC 
                    STATUES IN AFGHANISTAN BY THE TALIBAN REGIME.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Many of the oldest and most significant Buddhist 
        statues in the world are in Afghanistan, which, at the time 
        that many of the statues were carved, was one of the most 
        cosmopolitan regions in the world and hosted merchants, 
        travelers, and artists from China, India, central Asia, and the 
        Roman Empire.
            (2) Such statues are part of the common heritage of 
        mankind, which must be preserved for future generations.
            (3) On February 26, 2001, the leader of the Taliban regime, 
        Mullah Mohammad Omar, ordered the destruction of all pre-
        Islamic statues in Afghanistan, among them a pair of 1,600-
        year-old, 100-foot-tall statues of Buddha that are carved out 
        of a mountainside.
            (4) The religion of Islam and Buddhist statues have 
        coexisted in Afghanistan as part of the unique historical and 
        cultural heritage of that nation for more than 1,100 years.
            (5) The destruction of the pre-Islamic statues contradicts 
        the basic tenet of the Islamic religion that other religions 
        should be tolerated.
            (6) People of all faiths and nationalities have condemned 
        the destruction of the statues in Afghanistan, including Muslim 
        communities around the world.
            (7) The destruction of the statues violates the United 
        Nations Convention Concerning the Protection of the World 
        Cultural and Natural Heritage, which was ratified by 
        Afghanistan on March 20, 1979.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress--
            (1) joins with people and governments around the world in 
        condemning the destruction of pre-Islamic statues in 
        Afghanistan by the Taliban regime;
            (2) urges the Taliban regime to stop destroying such 
        statues; and
            (3) calls upon the Taliban regime to grant international 
        organizations immediate access to Afghanistan to survey the 
        damage and facilitate international efforts to preserve and 
        safeguard the remaining statues.

SEC. 734. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO RESOLUTION OF THE TAIWAN STRAIT 
                    ISSUE.

    It is the sense of the Congress that Taiwan is a mature democracy 
that fully respects human rights and it is the policy of the United 
States that any resolution of the Taiwan Strait issue must be peaceful 
and include the assent of the people of Taiwan.

SEC. 735. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO ARSENIC CONTAMINATION IN 
                    DRINKING WATER IN BANGLADESH.

    (a) Findings.--In the early 1970s, the United Nations Children's 
Fund (UNICEF) and the Bangladeshi Department of Public Health 
Engineering, in an attempt to bring clean drinking water to the people 
of Bangladesh, installed tube wells to access shallow aquifers. This 
was done to provide an alternative to contaminated surface water 
sources. However, at the time the wells were installed, arsenic was not 
recognized as a problem in water supplies and standard water testing 
procedures did not include arsenic tests. Naturally occurring inorganic 
arsenic contamination of water in those tube-wells was confirmed in 
1993 in the Nawabganj district in Bangladesh. The health effects of 
ingesting arsenic-contaminated drinking water appear slowly. This makes 
preventative measures, including drawing arsenic out of the existing 
tube well and finding alternate sources of water, critical to 
preventing future contamination in large numbers of the Bangladeshi 
population. Health effects of exposure to arsenic in both adults and 
children include skin lesions, skin cancer, and mortality from internal 
cancers.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--The Secretary of State should work with 
appropriate United States Government agencies, national laboratories, 
universities in the United States, the Government of Bangladesh, 
international financial institutions and organizations, and 
international donors to identify a long term solution to the arsenic-
contaminated drinking water problem.
    (c) Report to Congress.--The Secretary of State should report to 
the Congress on proposals to bring about arsenic-free drinking water to 
Bangladeshis and to facilitate treatment for those who have already 
been affected by arsenic-contaminated drinking water in Bangladesh.

SEC. 736. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO DISPLAY OF THE AMERICAN FLAG AT 
                    THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE IN TAIWAN.

    It is the sense of the Congress that the chancery of the American 
Institute in Taiwan and the residence of the director of the American 
Institute in Taiwan should publicly display the flag of the United 
States in the same manner as United States embassies, consulates, and 
official residences throughout the world.

SEC. 737. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN WEST 
                    PAPUA AND ACEH, INCLUDING THE MURDER OF JAFAR 
                    SIDDIQ HAMZAH, AND ESCALATING VIOLENCE IN MALUKU 
                    AND CENTRAL KALIMANTAN.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Human rights violations by elements of the Indonesian 
        Government continue to worsen in West Papua (Irian Jaya) and 
        Aceh, while other areas including the Moluccas (Maluku) and 
        Central Kalimantan have experienced outbreaks of violence by 
        militia forces and other organized groups.
            (2) Seven West Papuans were shot dead by Indonesian 
        security forces following a flag-raising ceremony in the town 
        of Merauke on December 2, 2000, and in a separate incident four 
        others were reportedly killed by Indonesian security forces 
        after a West Papuan flag was raised in Tiom on December 18, 
        2000.
            (3) Indonesian police have attacked peaceful West Papuan 
        civilians, including students in their dormitories at 
        Cenderawasih University on December 6, 2000. This attack 
        resulted in the beating and arrests of some 100 students as 
        well as the deaths of three students, including one in police 
        custody in the capital city of Jayapura.
            (4) To escape Indonesian security forces, hundreds of 
        peaceful West Papuans have sought safety in refugee camps 
        across the border in the neighboring state of Papua New Guinea 
        (PNG).
            (5) The Indonesian armed forces have announced that they 
        are initiating ``limited military operations'' in Aceh, where 
        the Exxon-Mobil gas company has suspended operations due to 
        security concerns.
            (6) On September 7, 2000, the body of Acehnese human rights 
        lawyer Jafar Siddiq Hamzah, who had been missing for a month, 
        was identified along with four other badly decomposed bodies, 
        whose faces were bashed in and whose hands and feet were bound 
        with barbed wire, in a forested area outside of Medan, in North 
        Sumatra.
            (7) Hamzah, a permanent resident of the United States who 
        resided in Queens, New York, was last seen alive on August 5, 
        2000, in Medan, after which he failed to keep an appointment 
        and his family lost all contact with him.
            (8) As the founder and director of the International Forum 
        on Aceh, which works for peace and human rights in Aceh, Hamzah 
        was an important voice of moderation and an internationally 
        known representative of his people who made irreplaceable 
        contributions to peace and respect for human rights in his 
        homeland.
            (9) The Indonesian government has failed to release the 
        results of Jafar Siddiq Hamzah's autopsy report, and the 
        inaccessibility of the report has delayed the investigation 
        which could lead to bringing the murderers to justice.
            (10) There is supporting documentation from the United 
        States Department of State and other reliable sources that 
        Indonesian military and police forces have committed widespread 
        acts of torture, rape, disappearance and extra-judicial 
        executions against West Papuan and Acehnese civilians.
            (11) In Maluku, where Muslim and Christian peoples lived in 
        peace and respected with each other for decades, thousands have 
        been killed and tens of thousands displaced during outbreaks of 
        violence over the past three years.
            (12) Militia forces known as the Laskar Jihad have arrived 
        from Java and other islands outside Maluku to inflame hatred 
        and perpetrate violence against Christians, and to create 
        religious intolerance among the people of Maluku, and the 
        Laskar Jihad has been openly encouraged by some Indonesian 
        leaders including Amien Rais, Chair of the People's 
        Consultative Assembly.
            (13) Muslim and Christian leaders alike have called for the 
        arrest of militia leaders in Maluku and asking for 
        international assistance in ending this devastating conflict.
            (14) The most recent instance of widespread violence in 
        Indonesia has broken out on the island of Kalimantan (Borneo), 
        in the province of Central Kalimantan, where indigenous Dayaks 
        brutally attacked migrant Madurese, killing hundreds and 
        causing thousands of others to flee.
            (15) The people of the island of Madura who were resettled 
        in Kalimantan under the auspices of the Soeharto government's 
        transmigration program, which served to strengthen the 
        political control of the regime, have become scapegoats for 
        official government policy, while the Dayaks have suffered from 
        this policy and from official exploitation of the natural 
        resources of their homeland.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress--
            (1) expresses its deep concern over ongoing human rights 
        violations committed by Indonesian military and police forces 
        against civilians in West Papua and Aceh, as well as over 
        violence by militias and others in Maluku, Central Kalimantan, 
        and elsewhere in Indonesia;
            (2) calls upon the United States Department of State to 
        publicly protest the reemergence of political imprisonment in 
        Indonesia and to take necessary steps to release, immediately 
        and unconditionally, all political prisoners, including Rev. 
        Obed Komba, Rev. Yudas Meage, Yafet Yelemaken, Murjono Murib 
        and Amelia Yigibalom of West Papua, and Muhammad Nazar of Aceh, 
        all adopted by Amnesty International as Prisoners of 
        Conscience, and student demonstrators Matius Rumbrapuk, Laon 
        Wenda, Jenderal Achmad Yani, Joseph Wenda and Hans Gobay of 
        West Papua;
            (3) calls upon the Department of State to support and 
        encourage the Government of Indonesia to engage in peaceful 
        dialogue with respected West Papuan community leaders and other 
        members of West Papuan civil society, as prescribed by the 1999 
        Terms of Reference for the National Dialogue on Irian Jaya, and 
        to urge the Governor of West Papua to create an environment 
        conducive to the peaceful repatriation of West Papuan refugees 
        and ``illegal border crossers'' who now reside in Papua New 
        Guinea;
            (4) calls upon the United States Government to press the 
        Government of Indonesia to permit access to West Papua and 
        Aceh, including the project areas of the United States-owned 
        Freeport mine and Exxon-Mobil facilities, by independent human 
        rights and environmental monitors, including the United Nations 
        special rapporteurs on torture and extra-judicial execution, as 
        well as by humanitarian nongovernmental organizations;
            (5) calls upon the United States Government to press for 
        the withdrawal of nonorganic troops from West Papua and Aceh, 
        and an overall reduction of force numbers in those areas, 
        particularly along the PNG border;
            (6) calls upon the Government of Indonesia to release the 
        autopsy report of Jafar Siddiq Hamzah immediately, to conduct a 
        thorough, open, and transparent investigation of the murder of 
        Hamzah and the four others with whom he was found, to offer 
        full access and support to independent investigators and 
        forensics experts brought in to examine these cases, and to 
        ensure that the perpetrators of these atrocities are brought to 
        justice through open and fair trials;
            (7) condemns the recent atrocities in Central Kalimantan 
        the failure of Indonesian police and other security forces to 
        intervene to stop these atrocities, as well as the underlying 
        social and economic conditions caused by systematic 
        transmigration programs, imported labor, and inequitable and 
        destructive exploitation of local natural resources that have 
        worsened the poverty and discrimination which were contributing 
        factors in their commission;
            (8) condemns comparable Indonesian Government policies in 
        Maluku and the failure of Indonesian police and other security 
        forces in and around Ambon to halt sectarian violence, 
        including the operations of the Laskar Jihad militia;
            (9) calls upon the Government of Indonesia to take decisive 
        action to halt sectarian violence in Maluku and to arrest those 
        guilty of violence, including Laskar Jihad militia leaders and 
        armed forces officers guilty of complicity in their operations 
        against civilians, and to make significant progress towards 
        rehabilitation and reestablishment of local communities 
        displaced by the violence and rebuild the physical 
        infrastructure of the communities;
            (10) calls upon the Department of State to support United 
        Nations and other international delegations and monitoring 
        efforts by international and nongovernmental agencies in West 
        Papua, Aceh, Maluku, Central Kalimantan, West Timor, and other 
        areas of Indonesia in order to deter further human rights 
        violations, and to encourage and support international and 
        nongovernmental agencies in efforts to help the people of 
        Indonesia rebuild and rehabilitate communities torn by 
        violence, particularly by assisting in the return of internally 
        displaced peoples and in efforts at reconciliation within and 
        among communities;
            (11) calls upon the Department of State to ensure that all 
        appropriate information regarding current conditions in the 
        West Papua, Aceh, Maluku, Kalimantan, and elsewhere in 
        Indonesia is included in the Annual Country Reports on Human 
        Rights Practices and the Annual Report on International 
        Religious Freedom;
            (12) calls upon the Government of Indonesia to devote 
        official attention, in an atmosphere of openness and 
        transparency and oversight, to investigations into the numerous 
        cases of disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and other 
        serious human rights violations in West Papua, Aceh, Maluku, 
        Central Kalimantan, elsewhere in Indonesia, and occupied East 
        Timor; and
            (13) calls upon the United States Government to continue to 
        insist upon vigorous investigation into all such violations, 
        and upon trials according to international standards for 
        military and police officers, militia leaders, and others 
        accused of such violations.

SEC. 738. SENSE OF CONGRESS SUPPORTING PROPERLY CONDUCTED ELECTIONS IN 
                    KOSOVA DURING 2001.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic 
        perpetrated a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing against the 
        ethnic Albanian population of Kosova, resulting in thousands of 
        deaths and rapes and the displacement of nearly 1 million 
        people.
            (2) Prior to the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia, 
        Kosova was a separate political and legal entity with a 
        separate and distinct financial sector, police force, 
        government, education system, judiciary, and health care 
        system.
            (3) During that time, the people of Kosova successfully 
        administered the province.
            (4) During the Milosevic era, Kosovar citizens demonstrated 
        again their ability to govern themselves by creating parallel 
        governmental and social institutions.
            (5) Local elections held in Kosova in 2000 were considered 
        free and fair by international observers.
            (6) United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 
        authorizes the United Nations Mission in Kosova to provide for 
        transitional administration while establishing and overseeing 
        the development of democratic and self-governing institutions, 
        including the holding of elections, to ensure conditions for a 
        peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants of Kosova.
            (7) The United Nations Mission in Kosova and the 
        Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe should 
        ensure that the conditions for properly conducted elections in 
        Kosova are in place prior to the election.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the United Nations Mission in Kosova should hold 
        properly conducted elections throughout Kosova during the year 
        2001;
            (2) the only way to maintain a true and lasting peace in 
        the region is through the creation of democratic Kosovar 
        institutions with real governing authority and responsibility, 
        and Kosova-wide jurisdiction;
            (3) all persons, regardless of ethnicity, are encouraged to 
        participate in elections throughout Kosova; and
            (4) the United States should work with the United Nations 
        Mission in Kosova and the Organization for Security and 
        Cooperation in Europe to ensure that the transition to Kosovar 
        self-government under the terms and conditions of United 
        Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 proceeds peacefully, 
        successfully, expeditiously, and in a spirit of ethnic 
        inclusiveness.

SEC. 739. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO POLICY REVIEW OF RELATIONS WITH 
                    THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the President of the United States and his advisors 
        should be commended for their success and the diplomatic skill 
        with which they negotiated the safe return of the 24 American 
        crew members of the United States Navy reconnaissance aircraft 
        that made an emergency landing on the Chinese island of Hainan 
        on April 1, 2001; and
            (2) the United States Government should conduct a policy 
        review of the nature of its relations with the Government of 
        the People's Republic of China in light of recent events.

SEC. 740. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO BROADCASTING IN THE MACEDONIAN 
                    LANGUAGE BY RADIO FREE EUROPE.

    It is the sense of the Congress that the Broadcasting Board of 
Governors should initiate surrogate broadcasting by Radio Free Europe 
in the Macedonian language to Macedonian-speaking areas of the Former 
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

SEC. 741. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO MAGEN DAVID ADOM SOCIETY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) It is the mission of the International Red Cross and 
        Red Crescent Movement to prevent and alleviate human suffering 
        wherever it may be found, without discrimination.
            (2) The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement 
        is a worldwide institution in which all national Red Cross and 
        Red Crescent societies have equal status.
            (3) The Magen David Adom Society is the national 
        humanitarian society in the state of Israel.
            (4) The Magen David Adom Society follows all the principles 
        of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
            (5) Since the founding of the Magen David Adom Society in 
        1930, the American Red Cross has regarded it as a sister 
        national society and close working ties have been established 
        between the two societies.
            (6) The Magen David Adom Society has used the Red Shield of 
        David as its humanitarian emblem since its founding in 1930 for 
        the same purposes that other national Red Cross and Red 
        Crescent societies use their respective emblems.
            (7) Since 1949 Magen David Adom has been refused admission 
        into the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and 
        has been relegated to observer status without a vote because it 
        has used the Red Shield of David.
            (8) Magen David Adom is the only humanitarian organization 
        equivalent to a national Red Cross or Red Crescent society in a 
        sovereign nation that is denied membership into the 
        International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
            (9) The American Red Cross has consistently advocated 
        recognition and membership of the Magen David Adom Society in 
        the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
            (10) The House of Representatives adopted H. Res. 464 on 
        May 3, 2000, and the Senate adopted S. Res. 343 on October 18, 
        2000, expressing the sense of the House of Representatives and 
        the sense of the Senate, respectively, that the International 
        Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement should recognize and admit 
        to full membership Israel's Magen David Adom Society with its 
        emblem, the Red Shield of David.
            (11) The Secretary of State testified before the Committee 
        on the Budget of the Senate on March 14, 2001, and stated that 
        admission of Magen David Adom into the International Red Cross 
        movement is a priority.
            (12) The United States provided $119,230,000 for the 
        International Committee of the Red Cross in fiscal year 2000.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the International Committee of the Red Cross should 
        immediately recognize the Magen David Adom Society;
            (2) the Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies 
        should grant full membership to the Magen David Adom Society 
        immediately following recognition by the International 
        Committee of the Red Cross of the Magen David Adom Society as a 
        full member of the International Committee of the Red Cross;
            (3) the Red Shield of David should be accorded the same 
        protections under international law as the Red Cross and the 
        Red Crescent; and
            (4) the United States should continue to press for full 
        membership for the Magen David Adom in the International Red 
        Cross Movement.

SEC. 742. SENSE OF CONGRESS URGING THE RETURN OF PORTRAITS PAINTED BY 
                    DINA BABBITT DURING HER INTERNMENT AT AUSCHWITZ 
                    THAT ARE NOW IN THE POSSESSION OF THE AUSCHWITZ-
                    BIRKENAU STATE MUSEUM.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Dina Babbitt (formerly known as Dinah Gottliebova), a 
        United States citizen now in her late 70's, has requested the 
        return of watercolor portraits she painted while suffering a 
        year-and-a-half-long internment at the Auschwitz death camp 
        during World War II.
            (2) Dina Babbitt was ordered to paint the portraits by the 
        infamous war criminal Dr. Josef Mengele.
            (3) Dina Babbitt's life, and her mother's life, were spared 
        only because she painted portraits of doomed inmates of 
        Auschwitz-Birkenau, under orders from Dr. Josef Mengele.
            (4) These paintings are currently in the possession of the 
        Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum.
            (5) Dina Babbitt is unquestionably the rightful owner of 
        the artwork, since the paintings were produced by her own 
        talented hands as she endured the unspeakable conditions that 
        existed at the Auschwitz death camp.
            (6) The artwork is not available for the public to view at 
        the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and therefore this unique 
        and important body of work is essentially lost to history.
            (7) This continued injustice can be righted through 
        cooperation between agencies of the United States and Poland.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress--
            (1) recognizes the moral right of Dina Babbitt to obtain 
        the artwork she created, and recognizes her courage in the face 
        of the evils perpetrated by the Nazi command of the Auschwitz-
        Birkenau death camp, including the atrocities committed by Dr. 
        Josef Mengele;
            (2) urges the President to make all efforts necessary to 
        retrieve the seven watercolor portraits Dina Babbitt painted, 
        while suffering a year-and-a-half-long internment at the 
        Auschwitz death camp, and return them to her;
            (3) urges the Secretary of State to make immediate 
        diplomatic efforts to facilitate the transfer of the seven 
        original watercolors painted by Dina Babbitt from the 
        Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum to Dina Babbitt, their rightful 
        owner;
            (4) urges the Government of Poland to immediately 
        facilitate the return to Dina Babbitt of the artwork painted by 
        her that is now in the possession of the Auschwitz-Birkenau 
        State Museum; and
            (5) urges the officials of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State 
        Museum to transfer the seven original paintings to Dina Babbitt 
        as expeditiously as possible.

SEC. 743. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING VIETNAMESE REFUGEE FAMILIES.

    It is the sense of the Congress that Vietnamese refugees who served 
substantial sentences in re-education camps due to their wartime 
associations with the United States and who, subsequently, were 
resettled in the United States should be permitted to include their 
unmarried sons and daughters as family members for purposes of such 
resettlement.

SEC. 744. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO MEMBERSHIP OF THE UNITED STATES 
                    IN UNESCO.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and 
        Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was created in 1946 with the 
        support of the United States as an integral part of the United 
        Nations systems, designed to promote international cooperation 
        and exchanges in the fields of education, science, culture, and 
        communication with the larger purpose of constructing the 
        defense of peace against intolerance and incitement to war.
            (2) In 1984, the United States withdrew from membership in 
        UNESCO over serious questions of internal management and 
        political polarization.
            (3) Since the United States withdrew from the organization, 
        UNESCO addressed such criticisms by electing new leadership, 
        tightening financial controls, cutting budget and staff, 
        restoring recognition of intellectual property rights, and 
        supporting the principle of a free and independent 
        international press.
            (4) In 1993, the General Accounting Office, after 
        conducting an extensive review of UNESCO's progress in 
        implementing changes, concluded that the organization's member 
        states, the Director General of UNESCO, managers and employee 
        associations demonstrated a commitment to management reform 
        through their actions.
            (5) On September 28, 2000, former Secretary of State George 
        P. Schultz, who implemented the withdrawal of the United States 
        from UNESCO with a letter to the organization's Director 
        General in 1984, indicated his support for the United States 
        renewal of membership in UNESCO.
            (6) The participation of the United States in UNESCO 
        programs offers a means for furthering the foreign policy 
        interests of the United States through the promotion of 
        cultural understanding and the spread of knowledge critical to 
        strengthening civil society.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
President should take all necessary steps to renew the membership and 
participation of the United States in the United Nations Educational, 
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

SEC. 745. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO GLOBAL WARMING.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Global climate change poses a significant threat to 
        national security, the American economy, public health and 
        welfare, and the global environment.
            (2) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 
        has found that most of the observed warming over the last fifty 
        years is attributable to human activities, including fossil 
        fuel-generated carbon dioxide emissions.
            (3) The IPCC has stated that global average surface 
        temperatures have risen since 1861.
            (4) The IPCC has stated that in the last forty years, the 
        global average sea level has risen, ocean heat content has 
        increased, and snow cover and ice extent have decreased which 
        threatens to inundate low-lying Pacific island nations and 
        coastal regions throughout the world.
            (5) The Environmental Protection Agency predicts that 
        global warming will harm United States citizens by altering 
        crop yields, causing sea levels to rise, and increasing the 
        spread of tropical infectious diseases.
            (6) Industrial nations are the largest producers today of 
        fossil fuel-generated carbon dioxide emissions.
            (7) The United States has ratified the United Nations 
        Framework on Climate Change which states, in part, ``the 
        Parties to the Convention are to implement policies with the 
        aim of returning...to their 1990 levels anthropogenic emissions 
        of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases''.
            (8) The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate 
        Change further states that ``developed country Parties should 
        take the lead in combating climate change and the adverse 
        effects thereof''.
            (9) Action by the United States to reduce emissions, taken 
        in concert with other industrialized nations, will promote 
        action by developing countries to reduce their own emissions.
            (10) A growing number of major American businesses are 
        expressing a need to know how governments worldwide will 
        respond to the threat of global warming.
            (11) More efficient technologies and renewable energy 
        sources will mitigate global warming and will make the United 
        States economy more productive and create hundreds of thousands 
        of jobs.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
United States should demonstrate international leadership and 
responsibility in mitigating the health, environmental, and economic 
threats posed by global warming by--
            (1) taking responsible action to ensure significant and 
        meaningful reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide and other 
        greenhouse gases from all sectors; and
            (2) continuing to participate in international negotiations 
        with the objective of completing the rules and guidelines for 
        the Kyoto Protocol in a manner that is consistent with the 
        interests of the United States and that ensures the 
        environmental integrity of the protocol.

SEC. 746. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE BAN ON SINN FEIN MINISTERS 
                    FROM THE NORTH-SOUTH MINISTERIAL COUNCIL IN 
                    NORTHERN IRELAND.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Good Friday Agreement established the North-South 
        Ministerial Council to bring together those with executive 
        responsibilities in Northern Ireland and the Republic of 
        Ireland to discuss matters of mutual interest on a cross-border 
        and all-island basis.
            (2) The Ulster Unionist Party, Social Democratic and Labour 
        Party, Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist Party comprise the 
        Northern Ireland executive.
            (3) First Minister David Trimble continues to ban Sinn Fein 
        Ministers Martin McGuiness and Bairbre de Brun from attending

                Background and Need for the Legislation

    H.R. 1646 the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, 
represents a bipartisan measure to authorize appropriations for 
fiscal years 2002 and 2003 for the Department of State and for 
the Broadcasting Board of Governors which is responsible for 
non-military U.S. international broadcasting.
    It authorizes to be appropriated $8.3 billion in fiscal 
year 2002 and such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 
2003 for the operations of the State Department, and $584 
million in fiscal year 2002 and such sums as may be necessary 
for 2003 for the Broadcasting Board of Governors.
    The President has requested and the Committee is 
recommending a substantial increase in the amounts authorized 
for the State Department's operating accounts, particularly 
with respect to embassy security, personnel, and improvements 
in its computer platform. The Committee received ample 
testimony that, for example, additional personnel to create a 
training pool is necessary to promote a more stable assignment 
process, and that the exercise of diplomatic power in the 21st 
century requires a rapid and robust modernization of the 
Department's computer platform. The Committee's recommendations 
and the modest improvement in the quality of life for the 
nation's diplomats contained in this bill are a down payment 
towards a more efficient and modern Department of State that is 
able to project U.S. diplomatic power around the globe.

                      Committee Oversight Findings

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee reports that the 
findings and recommendations of the Committee, based on 
oversight activities under clause 2(b)(1) of rule X of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives, are incorporated in the 
descriptive portions of this report.

               New Budget Authority and Tax Expenditures

    Clause 3(c)(2) of House Rule XIII is inapplicable because 
this legislation does not provide new budgetary authority or 
increased tax expenditures.

               Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee sets forth, with 
respect to the resolution, H.R. 1646, the following estimate 
and comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional 
Budget Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act 
of 1974:

                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                       Washington, DC, May 4, 2001.
Hon. Henry J. Hyde, Chairman,
Committee on International Relations,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 1646, the Foreign

                                SUMMARY

    The bill would authorize appropriations for the Department 
of State and related agencies for 2002 and 2003. CBO estimates 
that appropriation of the authorized amounts would result in 
additional discretionary spending of $16.2 billion over the 
2002-2006 period. The legislation also would increase direct 
spending by $582 million in 2001 and by $244 million over the 
2002-2006 period, and would result in receipts from asset sales 
totaling an estimated $100 million. CBO estimates that H.R. 
1646 would increase governmental receipts (revenues) by an 
insignificant amount each year by increasing the amount of 
existing civil penalties and creating new criminal penalties 
related to export controls. Because the bill would affect 
direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures would 
apply.
    H.R. 1646 contains no intergovernmental mandates as defined 
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect 
the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments. The bill 
would impose a private-sector mandate, but CBO estimates that 
the direct cost of the mandate would fall well below the annual 
threshold established by UMRA ($113 million in 2001, adjusted 
annually for inflation).

                ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

    The estimated budgetary impact of H.R. 1646 is shown in the 
following table. CBO assumes that the authorized amounts would 
be appropriated by the start of each fiscal year and that 
outlays would follow historical spending patterns. The costs of 
this legislation fall within budget functions 050 (national 
defense), 150 (international affairs), 300 (natural resources 
and environment), and 750 (administration of justice).

                           BASIS OF ESTIMATE

Spending Subject to Appropriation
    CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1646 would cost $16.2 
billion over the 2002-2006 period, assuming appropriation of 
the authorized amounts. The bill would authorize appropriations 
of $8.2 billion for fiscal year 2002. For 2003, it would 
specify authorizations totaling $954 million and would 
authorize such sums as may be necessary for a number of 
programs and activities. Assuming that the latter are funded at 
the 2002 level adjusted for inflation, CBO estimates that the 
2003 authorizations would total $8.3 billion. (If the 
indefinite authorizations for 2003 were assumed to be funded at 
the 2002 level, the 2003 authorizations would total $8.1 
billion.) In addition, the bill contains other provisions with 
potential budgetary impacts.
    Indefinite Authorizations for Currency Fluctuations. 
Section 104(c) would authorize such sums as may be necessary in 
2002 and 2003 to compensate for adverse fluctuations in 
exchange rates that might affect contributions to international 
organizations. Any funds appropriated for this purpose would be 
obligated and expended subject to certification by the Office 
of Management and Budget. Currency fluctuations are extremely 
difficult to estimate in advance, and they could result in 
spending either higher or lower than the amounts specifically 
authorized in the bill for contributions to international 
organizations and programs. Therefore, this estimate includes 
no costs associated with currency fluctuations.
    Miscellaneous Provisions. Section 821 would authorize the 
use of Department of Defense (DoD) funds to pack and transport 
excess defense articles to certain East European and Central 
Asian countries in 2002 and 2003. This authority has been used 
infrequently in the past. Based on information provided by the 
Department of Defense, CBO estimates that enacting the 
provision could add $1 million to defense spending in each of 
the fiscal years 2002 and 2003, assuming the appropriation of 
the necessary funds.
    The bill includes several provisions that would expand or 
introduce new reporting requirements. Combined, these 
provisions would raise spending subject to appropriation by 
about $1 million annually, but each provision would probably 
cost less than $500,000 a year.
Direct Spending, Asset Sales, and Revenues
    CBO estimates that the bill would increase direct spending 
by $582 million in 2001 and $244 million in 2002, result in 
receipts from asset sales totaling $100 million, and increase 
revenues by less than $500,000 annually.
    Payment of United Nations Arrears. Section 601 would amend 
current law to permit the release of arrearage payments to the 
United Nations. CBO estimates that under the bill, the State 
Department would release $582 million in 2001 and $244 million 
in 2002 that cannot be released under current law. In 1999, 
Public Law 105-277 appropriated $475 million for arrearage 
payments. An additional $351 million was provided in 2000 in 
Public Law 106-113. Under current law, however, those funds 
cannot be disbursed until certain conditions have been met. One 
of those conditions--which has not been met and cannot be 
waived--is that the United Nations lower the United States' 
assessment rate for peacekeeping activities from 31 percent to 
25 percent. The bill would drop this requirement and would also 
ease other conditions attached to the funds appropriated in 
2000. These changes would permit disbursement of the $826 
million that has already been appropriated. Because this 
provision would affect outlays from funds already appropriated 
and would not depend on future appropriation action, the 
additional outlays are considered direct spending for 
scorekeeping purposes.
    Fees for Machine Readable Visas. The bill would extend, 
through 2003, the Secretary of State's authority to charge a 
fee for machine readable visas and to spend the collections on 
consular activities. Authority to collect and spend these fees 
through 2002 was provided in Public Law 106-553. Based on 
information from the Department of State, CBO estimates the 
department would collect and spend $368 million in 2003 under 
this authority.
    Authority to Transfer Naval Vessels. H.R. 1646 would 
authorize the transfer of 14 naval vessels to foreign 
countries. It would authorize the sale of seven vessels; the 
other seven would be given away. Information from DoD indicates 
that the asking price for the seven ships would be 
approximately $175 million. There is significant uncertainty as 
to whether all seven vessels would be sold and what the sale 
price might be. Reflecting this uncertainty, CBO estimates that 
receipts from these sales would total $18 million in 2002 and 
$82 million in 2003.
    Miscellaneous Provisions. Several provisions in the bill 
would have little or no effect on direct spending or revenues.
    Reimbursements for International Litigation Fund. The bill 
would allow the State Department to retain, as reimbursement 
for preparing or prosecuting a claim against a foreign 
government or entity, a portion of awards received. Based on 
information from the Department of State, CBO estimates the 
department would collect and spend less than $1 million a year.
    Export Controls. H.R. 1646 would raise governmental 
receipts (revenues) by increasing the amount of existing civil 
penalties and establishing new criminal penalties that would be 
assessed against exporters who fail to submit accurate 
information to the Department of Commerce (DOC). Based on 
information from that department, CBO estimates that the 
increase in revenues would not be significant in any year. 
Collections of criminal fines are deposited in the Crime 
Victims Fund and are spent in subsequent years. Based on 
information from the DOC, CBO estimates that the criminal 
penalties that would be created under H.R.1646 would increase 
direct spending from the Crime Victims Fund by less than 
$500,000 per year.
    Reimbursements for Emergency Overseas Evacuation. H.R. 1646 
would allow the State Department to seek reimbursements for the 
emergency evacuation of employees of the U.S. government, their 
dependents, private U.S. citizens, and foreign nationals. 
According to the Department of State, this section of the bill 
codifies existing practice and would have no impact on the 
budget.
    Foreign National Retirement Plans. The bill would amend 
section 3968 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-
465), which provides for the compensation and benefits of 
foreign nationals who work for the United States abroad. Under 
the Foreign Service Act, the Department of State is authorized 
to set aside funds on the behalf of employees for the purpose 
of paying them a lump-sum payment once they retire or terminate 
employment. Although such deposits are not being made at the 
present time, current law allows the State Department to retain 
a private financial institution for the purpose of holding and 
investing those funds. The bill would give the State Department 
the option of depositing these monies into a fund established 
by the U.S. Treasury Department. The funds would be the 
property of the federal government regardless of where they are 
held. Thus, CBO estimates that this provision would have no 
budgetary impact.
    Official Reception and Representation Expenses. Section 811 
would increase the amount that the DoD can spend on official 
reception and representation expenses from foreign military 
sales receipts by $14,000 each year.

                      PAY-AS-YOU-GO CONSIDERATIONS

    The Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act sets 
up pay-as-you-go procedures for legislation affecting direct 
spending or receipts. The net changes in outlays and 
governmental receipts that are subject to pay-as-you-go 
procedures are shown in the following table. For the purposes 
of enforcing pay-as-you-go procedures, only the effects in the 
current year, the budget year, and the succeeding four years 
are counted.

        ESTIMATED IMPACT ON STATE, LOCAL, AND TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS

    H.R. 1646 contains no intergovernmental mandates as defined 
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect 
the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.

                 ESTIMATED IMPACT ON THE PRIVATE SECTOR

    H.R. 1646 would impose a private-sector mandate by 
requiring exporters or their agents, not covered under current 
regulations, to file Shippers Export Declarations through the 
Automated Export System (AES). Based on information provided by 
the Bureau of the Census, CBO estimates that the cost of filing 
through the AES would be minimal as the system is a free, on-
line, electronic reporting system. Most exporters are currently 
required to file their reports through the AES. The cost for 
the remaining exporters to shift from their current filing 
process to the electronic system required in the bill would be 
small. Thus, the direct cost of the mandate in the bill would 
fall well below the annual threshold established by UMRA ($113 
million in 2001, adjusted annually for inflation).

                         PREVIOUS CBO ESTIMATE

    On February 13, 2001, CBO prepared a cost estimate for S. 
248 as passed by the Senate. That act would release arrearage 
payments of $582 million in 2001. Section 601 of H.R. 1646 is 
similar to S. 248, but it would, in addition, authorize the 
release of $244 million in 2002.

               Section-by-Section Analysis and Discussion

    Foreign Relations Authorization for Fiscal Years 2002 and 
2003

                TITLE I--AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS

Section 101--Authorization of Appropriations--Administration of Foreign 
        Affairs.
    This section authorizes the State Department's FY 2002 and 
2003 operating budget at $4,714,167,000 for fiscal year 2002 
and such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 2003.
    101(1)--Diplomatic and Consular Programs. This section 
authorizes $3,705,140,000 for fiscal year 2002 and such sums as 
may be necessary for fiscal year 2003 for diplomatic and 
consular programs.
    Of the total amount, $487,735,000 is specifically 
authorized for worldwide security upgrades for fiscal year 2002 
and such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 2003; for the 
salaries and expenses of the Department's Bureau of Democracy, 
Human Rights, and Labor, $16,000,000 is authorized for fiscal 
year 2002 and $20,000,000 for fiscal year 2003; for the 
recruitment of members of minority groups for careers in the 
Foreign Service and international affairs $2,000,000 is 
authorized for fiscal years 2002 and 2003; and $70,000 is 
authorized for a mobile library at the U.S. Interests Section 
in Cuba for fiscal years 2002 and 2003.
    101(b)(ii) This section provides an increase in the funding 
for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, from $12 
million in FY2000 and 2001 to $16 million in FY2002 and $20 
million in FY2003. The Committee believes that these issues 
should be core values in U.S. foreign policy, and that this 
function should be enhanced within the Department. In 
particular, promotion of democracy abroad advances this 
country's values, international stability and economic freedom. 
The increase in the Bureau's budget should also be viewed in 
the context of section 205, regarding positions abroad that are 
primarily responsible for following human rights developments 
in foreign countries.
    Public Diplomacy. The Committee supported the 
reorganization of foreign affairs agencies in 1999, and has 
followed with interest the progress of merging the former USIA 
and its public diplomacy activities into the Department of 
State. One of the organizational consequences of the merger is 
that the former USIS overseas posts, now the public diplomacy 
sections in our embassies, report to the State Department's 
regional bureaus, and are less related to the Washington units 
which provide exchange and international information programs 
and the funding for them. Given the many competing and urgent 
priorities the regional bureaus must confront, this arrangement 
could lead over time to a diminution of focus and staff 
resources for public diplomacy in the field. The Committee 
encourages the Department to ensure that the overseas public 
diplomacy sections have a clear mandate to carry out these 
activities as their first priority, as well as adequate staff 
and other resources for these important tasks. Moreover, the 
Committee continues to monitor the implementation of section 
1333 of the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 
1998, providing that funds budgeted for public diplomacy may 
only be used for that purpose.
    The African Growth and Opportunity Act. The African Growth 
and Opportunity Act (P.L. 106-200) requires the public 
diplomacy operation to disseminate regularly in Africa through 
various media outlets economic information in support of the 
free market economic reform it is designed to promote. The 
Committee notes with approval such efforts being undertaken by 
the State Department's public diplomacy offices, particularly 
the Africa bureau's Office of Public Diplomacy. These 
activities have proven helpful in enhancing U.S.-Africa 
commercial ties.
    Increased Resources for African Bureau. The Committee is 
concerned regarding the decline in U.S. diplomatic presence in 
Africa over the last 10 years. This decline has come at a 
critical time when U.S. economic, political, security, 
humanitarian, and cultural interests in Africa require more 
attention than ever before. Today, the United States is at its 
weakest diplomatic position in several decades. In 1991, we 
employed 1,956 individuals. In 1999, this number dropped to 
792. As noted above, last year, Congress passed the African 
Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) that created opportunities 
for new trade relations between African countries and the U.S. 
Yet, without an effective diplomatic presence in Africa we 
cannot strengthen and facilitate stronger commercial 
relationships between the United States and the African 
continent.
    Our interests in Africa are not just commercial. We also 
have a major interest in monitoring and promoting human rights. 
Stable and transparent democracies in Africa will create 
strong, dynamic governments and economies with which we can 
establish strong bilateral relations. Moreover, 75 percent of 
HIV infections are in Africa where resources to confront the 
epidemic are most scarce. This epidemic has the potential to 
devastate African populations and deny both the United States 
and Africa opportunities to develop future economic and 
political relations. Our presence in Africa is vital to promote 
attention to the epidemic and help with education, treatment, 
and research to stem the tide of HIV/AIDS. Finally, it is 
within our national self-interest to work bilaterally and with 
multilateral institutions to make sure African security crises 
do not create opportunities for hostile governmental and 
nongovernmental forces to exploit tragedy and produce rogue 
forces hostile to the United States.
    Given the significant new resources the Committee is 
recommending for State Department operating expenses, 
particularly personnel, the Committee recommends the Department 
make a significant increase in personnel addressing Africa 
issues, both in the Bureau of African Affairs and at diplomatic 
posts in Africa.
    101(2)--Capital Investment Fund. Authorizes $210,000,000 
for fiscal year 2002 and such sums as may be necessary for 
fiscal year 2003 to modernize the Department's computer 
systems.
    101(3)--Security and Maintenance of United States Missions. 
Authorizes $475,046,000 for fiscal years 2002 and such sums as 
may be necessary for fiscal year 2003 for the security and 
maintenance of U.S. missions abroad. Separately authorized in 
P.L. 106-113 is $900,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2002, 
2003, and 2004 for embassy security construction. These funds 
were specifically authorized for security upgrades, to cover 
the costs of the relocation and construction necessary to 
rectify security deficiencies at posts abroad. Therefore, 
embassy security construction is not authorized in this bill. 
The total authorization available in fiscal year 2002 is 
$1,375,046,000.
    101(4)--Representation Allowances. Authorizes $9,000,000 
for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 to be used for the reimbursement 
of the costs incurred by Department officials for official 
representation overseas.
    101(5)--Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular Service. 
Authorizes $15,500,000 for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 for 
emergencies, such as evacuations of American citizens abroad, 
and for the payment of rewards, such as for information 
regarding international terrorism and narcoterrorism. In 
addition, certain representational expenses of certain senior 
Department officials are authorized in this account.
    101(6)--Office of the Inspector General. Authorizes 
$29,264,000 for fiscal year 2002 and such sums as may be 
necessary for fiscal year 2003 for the Office of the Inspector 
General.
    101(7)--American Institute in Taiwan. Authorizes 
$17,044,000 for fiscal year 2002 and such sums as may be 
necessary for fiscal year 2003 for the operations of the 
American Institute in Taiwan.
    101(8)--Protection of Foreign Missions and Officials. 
Authorizes $10,000,000 for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 for the 
protection of foreign missions and officials.
    101(9)--Repatriation Loans. Authorizes $1,219,000 for 
fiscal years 2002 and 2003 for repatriation loans provided to 
Americans in need of assistance overseas.
Section 102--International Commissions.
    Authorizes $61,157,000 for fiscal year 2002 and such sums 
as may be necessary for fiscal year 2003 for salaries and 
expenses and for construction of the International Boundary and 
Water Commission; for the International Boundary Commission, 
United States and Canada; for the International Joint 
Commission and; for the International Fisheries Commission. 
These organizations are responsible for boundary, water, and 
resource issues along U.S. borders and adjacent waters.
Section 103--Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs.
    103(1) This section authorizes a total of $242,000,000 for 
fiscal year 2002 and such sums as may be necessary for fiscal 
year 2003 for educational and cultural exchange programs. The 
total is divided as follows: $125,000,000 in fiscal year 2002 
and such sums as may be necessary in fiscal year 2003 for the 
Fulbright exchange program and $117,000,000 in fiscal year 2002 
and such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 2003 for 
``Other Exchange Programs.'' Within the Fulbright program, 
$500,000 is available for each year for Tibetan Exchanges. 
Within the ``Other Exchange Programs,'' spending is directed 
for each fiscal year for South Pacific Exchanges ($750,000), 
East Timorese Scholarships ($500,000), Sudanese scholarships 
($500,000), African exchanges ($500,000), and for the Israel-
Arab Peace Partners program ($750,000).
    The Committee recognizes the importance of international 
academic and cultural exchange programs. Organizations like 
International Partners in Education can help governments and 
nongovernmental organizations promote the education of 
students. Therefore, the Committee recommends that the State 
Department work with International Partners in Education as the 
Department develops and carries out its international academic 
and cultural exchange programs.
    The Committee also recommends that the State Department 
strongly consider a unique student exchange program hosted at 
the New Jersey and Jerusalem college campuses of the Beth 
Madrash Govoha of America. Students from all over the world 
participate in this program, which specializes in Judaic 
heritage, culture, ethics and law and in related democratic 
values and ideals. Students are specifically recruited from 
third world and poor countries; countries where democratic 
values are under attack; and countries whose people are 
suffering from internal and external conflict. The program is 
currently funded through private donations, but in order to 
meet a sharp increase in demand, the school is seeking Federal 
assistance to allow more students to participate. The Committee 
believes the program makes unique contributions to U.S./foreign 
educational partnerships and is a worthy candidate for a grant 
under this section.
    103(2)--National Endowment for Democracy (NED). This 
section authorizes $36,000,000 for fiscal year 2002 and 
$40,000,000 for fiscal year 2003 for the NED.
    103(3)--Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows. This section 
authorizes $1,000,000 for both fiscal years 2002 and 2003 for 
the Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows for international 
democracy activists and scholars to study and exchange views 
with other activists and scholars.
    103(4)--Dante B. Fascell North-South Center. This section 
authorizes $4,000,000 for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 for the 
Dante B. Fascell North-South Center.
    103(5)--Center for Cultural and Technical Interchange 
between East and West. This section authorizes $13,500,000 for 
fiscal years 2002 and 2003 for the East-West Center. These 
funds are for operations and expansion of programs of 
constructive involvement with nations in Asia and the Pacific 
through education, research and outreach.
Section 104--International Organizations.
    104(a)(1)--Assessed Contributions to International 
Organizations. Authorizes $944,067,000 for fiscal year 2002 and 
such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 2003 for assessed 
contributions to international organizations. As introduced, 
the bill funded this account at the President's request level 
for fiscal year 2002 . An amendment was adopted during 
Committee consideration to increase the account by $65,300,000 
for purposes of authorizing the amounts necessary to cover the 
costs of rejoining UNESCO.
    104(b)(2)--Civil Budget of NATO. Provides such sums as may 
be necessary and a permanent authority for the State Department 
to pay for the U.S. assessment of the civil budget of NATO. 
This section also provides for permanent authorization of the 
U.S. assessment for the civil budget of the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization. NATO remains a cornerstone of our security 
relationship in Europe and beyond. The permanent authorization 
ensures that whatever amounts are requested by the 
Administration in any future fiscal year is authorized.
    104(c)--Prohibition on Funding Framework Treaty-Based 
Organizations. This section continues a prohibition on using 
funds from the CIO account for the assessments for certain 
framework treaty organizations.
    104(d)--Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. This section 
provides such sums as may be necessary for fiscal years 2002 
and 2003 to offset adverse fluctuations in foreign currency 
exchange rates.
    104(e)--Refund of Excess Contributions. This section 
reaffirms the policy that the U.N. and its specialized agencies 
shall credit the next year's assessment or refund member states 
if funds exceed the budgeted expenditures. An example of when 
there might be extra money is if there are exchange rate gains. 
The purpose of the provision is not to increase spending above 
what is budgeted for a given year if there are excess funds.
Section 105--Assessed Contributions for International Peacekeeping 
        Activities.
    Authorizes $844,139,000 for fiscal year 2002 and such sums 
as may be necessary for fiscal year 2003 for assessed 
contributions for international peacekeeping activities.
Section 106--Grants to the Asia Foundation.
    Authorizes $15,000,000 for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 for 
grants to the Asia Foundation.
Section 107--Voluntary Contributions to International Organizations.
    This section authorizes a total of $306,000,000 for U.S. 
voluntary contributions to international organizations. Of the 
total, spending is directed as follows: $5,000,000 for fiscal 
years 2002 and 2003 for the World Food Program; $5,000,000 for 
fiscal years 2002 and 2003 for the U.N. Voluntary Fund for 
Victims of Torture; and $240,000 for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 
for the Organizations of American States for the purpose of 
conducting investigations and dissemination of information on 
violations of freedom of expression by the Government of Cuba, 
Colombia, and Haiti.
    The Committee welcomes the focus of the United Nations 
Development Programme (UNDP) on critical areas such as 
democratic governance, HIV/AIDS, conflict prevention and post-
conflict reconstruction in developing and transition countries, 
as well as its work to coordinate UN development agencies at 
country level. The UNDP's headquarters remains based in the 
United States. Accordingly, the Committee recommends a U.S. 
contribution of $100 million for UNDP in fiscal year 2002.
    107(c)--Restrictions on U.S. voluntary contributions to 
UNDP. This section carries over a provision of existing law 
that requires the withholding from U.S. voluntary contributions 
to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) of an amount 
equal to the amount UNDP intends to spend in Burma during each 
of the fiscal years 2002 and 2003, unless the President 
certifies to Congress that UNDP programs in Burma are focused 
on eliminating human suffering and addressing the needs of the 
poor; are undertaken only through international or private 
voluntary organizations that have been deemed independent of 
Burma's military dictatorship, the State Peace and Development 
Council (SPDC), formerly the State Law and Order Restoration 
Council (SLORC); provide no financial, political, or military 
benefit to the SPDC; and are carried out only after 
consultations with the leadership of the principal Burmese pro-
democracy organizations, the National League for Democracy 
(NLD) and the National Coalition Government of the Union of 
Burma (NCGUB).
    The Committee remains concerned about UNDP programs in 
Burma. UNDP and Administration officials have assured the 
Committee that such programs do not benefit the SPDC. Committee 
members, however, continue to receive reports that UNDP 
officials regularly consult with the SPDC on Burma programs, 
that they consult only peremptorily with pro-democracy 
organizations, and that UNDP programs in Burma have the effect 
of enhancing the international prestige and domestic power of 
the SPDC. The certification requirement is intended to provide 
additional assurances that UNDP programs are truly independent 
of the SPDC, to make clear to UNDP officials that their 
activities in Burma should be limited to addressing the basic 
human needs of the poor and disadvantaged people of Burma, and 
that they should do so only after full and genuine consultation 
with the NLD and NCGUB, the duly elected political leadership 
of the people of Burma.
    The Committee expects that in determining whether UNDP 
programs in Burma meet the conditions set forth in this 
subsection, the Department shall rely on assessments by experts 
and nongovernmental organizations independent of UNDP. It would 
be helpful for the Department to consult with the Committee in 
the selection of such experts and organizations.
    107(d)--UNICEF. This section provides additional 
authorization of $120,000,000 for fiscal years 2002 for UNICEF 
from an appropriate account.
    107(e)--Organizations and Programs That Support Coercive 
Abortion or Involuntary Sterilization. This section prohibits 
funding under this act to any organization which supports, or 
which participates in the management of, a program of forced 
abortion or involuntary sterilization.
Section 108--Migration and Refugee Assistance.
    This provision provides $817,000,000 for fiscal years 2002 
and 2003 for refugee and migration programs.
    This is the amount necessary to keep the amount available 
for worldwide refugee protection level in constant dollars over 
the last 6 years. The refugee account is the only major State 
Department account which has not received sufficient annual 
increases since fiscal year 1995 to compensate for the effects 
of inflation. Yet the number of refugees and other persons in 
need of protection, such as internally displaced persons and 
refugees who have repatriated but not yet been fully 
reintegrated in their home countries, is at least as great as 
it was 6 years ago, and the per capita cost of providing such 
protection has increased substantially. The resulting 
shortfalls in the protection budgets of the United Nations High 
Commissioner for Refugees and other international and 
nongovernmental organizations devoted to providing food, 
shelter, and other basic necessities to refugees have 
contributed to increased instability, to involuntary and unsafe 
repatriation, and in some cases to dramatic increases in infant 
and child mortality.
    Refugee protection is particularly jeopardized in Africa, 
where UNHCR's protection capacity is historically weak and 
understaffed despite the needs of more than 6 million refugees 
and other persons of concern. Among other needs that are not 
being met, the United States Committee for Refugees estimates 
that there is an immediate need for 100 additional UNHCR 
Protection Officers in Africa, at an estimated cost of $15 
million. Yet the new High Commissioner, Ruud Lubbers, recently 
announced the need for further UNHCR budget cuts in light of a 
20% shortfall in anticipated commitments from donor nations.
    The Committee remains deeply concerned about the fate of 
East Timorese refugees in militia-controlled camps in 
Indonesian West Timor. The Committee deplores the failure of 
the Indonesian government and security forces to disarm and 
disband militia groups which have enjoyed close relationships 
with elements of these forces, and which continue to intimidate 
refugees, spread misinformation, prevent safe and full access 
to refugees by international and local humanitarian workers, 
and threaten the peace and security of East Timor. The 
Committee is troubled by worsening humanitarian conditions for 
East Timorese refugees in the camps and elsewhere, particularly 
widespread malnutrition and disease; reports of sexual 
enslavement of women and girls; and the separation of East 
Timorese children from their refugee parents. The Committee 
urges the Department of State to monitor closely the refugee 
situation in West Timor and, insofar as is possible, to provide 
funding to improve health, food, and other humanitarian 
conditions for refugees in West Timor and to assist in refugee 
repatriation and resettlement. Due to the current inability of 
the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other 
international organizations to operate in West Timor, the 
Committee recommends the Department explore alternative means 
of providing humanitarian support, including funding for West 
Timorese nongovernmental organizations and humanitarian 
agencies of the West Timor provincial government.
    Afghanistan. The Committee is concerned about the rapidly 
deteriorating humanitarian conditions inside Afghanistan as a 
result of continued fighting and the extreme drought that is 
affecting much of the country. There are credible reports of 
perilous increases in malnutrition rates--particularly with 
women, children and the elderly. The Committee is also 
concerned that the expected migration of Afghan refugees to 
Pakistan and Iran due to the worsening situation inside 
Afghanistan will create a humanitarian tragedy as both of those 
countries have closed their borders to additional refugees. The 
Committee urges the State Department to continue its efforts, 
working with the U.S. Agency for International Development, to 
coordinate with the United Nations Office of Coordination for 
Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), the World Food Program (WFP), 
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other 
international donors to step up international relief efforts 
inside Afghanistan as well as to increase assistance for 
refugees in neighboring countries. The Committee also calls on 
the State Department to exert all its influence with the 
neighboring countries to implore them to continue providing 
safe harbor to the refugees from Afghanistan fleeing conflict, 
persecution or famine.
Section 121--International Broadcasting Operations.
    This section authorizes a total of $584,000,000 for fiscal 
year 2002 and such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 
2003 for the Broadcasting Board of Governors to carry out 
certain international broadcasting activities. Included in the 
total authorization are the following:
    121(a)(1)(B)(i)--Belize. Authorizes $750,000 is to be used 
solely for the enhancements of transmission facilities in 
Belize and the cost of transmissions in Belize. An integral 
part of U.S. broadcasting in the Western Hemisphere is the need 
to reach the people in the Andean region who are deprived of 
factual information about developments within and outside their 
countries, and about U.S. efforts to assist them in their 
struggle to reclaim their lives from the narcotraffickers and 
guerrillas. Another high priority for the U.S. is the use of 
Radio and TV Marti to lift the veil of silence that the Castro 
dictatorship has imposed on the Cuban people. Through 
broadcasting to Cuba, we are able to inform and educate the 
growing dissident and political opposition movement to provide 
them with the necessary tools and support to continue their 
efforts to bring freedom and democracy to their island nation. 
The Cuban regime has intensified its jamming of U.S. broadcasts 
with the assistance and guidance of an expert in this field--
the People's Republic of China. Enhancements to the Belize 
facility will help increase the capacity of the Office of Cuba 
Broadcasting to evade the jamming by the Cuban regime and will 
help ensure that our programs and transmission are heard by the 
people in the targeted areas of the Hemisphere
    121(a)(1)(B)(ii)--Radio Free Asia. Authorizes $30,000,000 
for fiscal year 2002 and $30,000,000 for fiscal year 2003 for 
Radio Free Asia.
    121(a)(2)--Broadcasting Capital Improvements. This section 
authorizes $16,900,000 for fiscal year 2002 and such sums as 
may be necessary for fiscal year 2003 for broadcasting capital 
projects.
    121(a)(3)--Broadcasting to Cuba. Authorizes $25,000,000 
fiscal years 2002 and year 2003 for Cuba broadcasting.
    121(b)--Continuation of Additional Authorization. This 
section updates P.L. 106-286, concerning Permanent Normal Trade 
Relations for the People's Republic of China, to extend the 
authorization for additional Radio Free Asia and Voice of 
America broadcasts to China and neighboring countries, in the 
total amount of $99,000,000 for fiscal year 2002 and 
$34,000,000 in fiscal year 2003.
    121(c)--Middle East Radio Network. This section authorizes 
$15,000,000 for fiscal year 2002 for Enhanced Voice of America 
broadcast services to the Middle East.

                          Title I, Subtitle C

        Subtitle C is the Global Democracy Promotion Act of 2001

Section 131. Short title.
    This section provides that the short title for this 
subtitle is the Global Democracy Promotion Act of 2001.
Section 132. Findings.
    This section provides the Committee's findings regarding 
certain issues raised by the ``Mexico City policy'' recently 
reinstated by President Bush. The section finds that an open 
and honest relationship between health care providers and 
patients is a fundamental principle of medical ethics and 
practice, free speech is a fundamental American value, and 
promotion of democracy is a principal goal of U.S. foreign 
policy. It also finds that denying U.S. foreign assistance 
funds to foreign nongovernmental organizations that use funds 
from sources other than the U.S. government to take actions or 
engage in medical practices that are legal in their own country 
and that would be constitutionally protected if conducted in 
the United States undermines these principles, is an 
unjustifiable interference with the ability of independent 
organizations to serve the critical health needs of their 
fellow citizens and demonstrates a disregard and disrespect for 
the laws of sovereign nations as well as for the laws of the 
United States.
Section 133--Assistance for Foreign Nongovernmental Organizations under 
        Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
    This section requires that notwithstanding any other 
provision of law, regulation or policy, foreign nongovernmental 
organizations shall not be determined to be ineligible to 
receive funds authorized under part I of the Foreign Assistance 
Act of 1961 solely on the basis of health or medical services, 
including counseling and referral services, provided by non-
United States government funds as long as those services do not 
violate the laws of the country in which they are being 
provided and would not violate United States Federal law if 
they were being provided in the United States. It also requires 
that foreign nongovernmental organizations shall not be subject 
to any restrictions or requirements on the use of non-United 
States government funds for advocacy or lobbying activities as 
a condition of receiving funds authorized under part I of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 other than those requirements 
that also apply to United States nongovernmental organizations 
receiving such funds.
    This statute supersedes any provision of law, regulation or 
policy currently in effect.

                  Title II--Authorities and Activities

Section 201--Continuation of Reporting Requirements.
    This section extends reporting requirements contained in 
the Foreign Relations Authorization Act as follows:
    Section 201(a)--Saudi Arabia. This section requires 
periodic reports on outstanding claims by United States firms 
against the Government of Saudi Arabia. This amendment is 
necessary to help U.S. firms which have completed extensive 
work for the Saudi Government but have had no success in 
getting their due compensation. For example, Gibbs and Hill, 
Inc., of New Jersey has outstanding claims for $55 million for 
work on a desalinization plant completed in 1984.
    Section 201(b)--LIBERTAD Act. This section continues the 
report under title IV of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic 
Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act. It requires the Secretary of State 
to make periodic reports to the Committee describing the 
ongoing reviews pursuant to title IV of the Cuban Liberty and 
Democratic Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1996 (22 U.S.C. 6091) 
and any determinations and findings under that title of that 
act. Title IV of the LIBERTAD Act requires the Secretary of 
State to exclude from the U.S. persons ``trafficking'' in 
property confiscated from U.S. nationals in Cuba. The Committee 
intends to use these reports to monitor the implementation of 
this ``exclusion'' provision of the LIBERTAD Act.
    Section 201(c)--Vietnam. This section continues a report 
requiring the Secretary of State to report on the extent to 
which the Government of Vietnam: (1) is cooperating with the 
U.S. on the fullest possible accounting of POW/MIA's; (2) has 
made progress on the release of political and religious 
prisoners; (3) is cooperating on requests by the U.S. to obtain 
full and free access to persons for interviews under the 
Orderly Departure and Resettlement Opportunities for Vietnamese 
Refugees programs; 4) has taken action to end corrupt practices 
in connections with exit visas; and 5) is making efforts to 
interview and resettle former reeducation camp victims and 
other persons.
    Section 201(d)--Missle Defense This section continues a 
reporting requirement with respect to cooperative projects with 
Russia in the area of ballistic missile defense, including in 
the area of early warning.
Section 202--Continuation of Other Reports.
    202(a)--Semi-Annual Reports. This section requires semi-
annual reports, with a classified annex, from the Secretary of 
State on the US government's efforts to boost efforts toward 
Taiwan's appropriate membership or participation in 
international organizations.
    202(b)--Terrorist Activity. This section requires reporting 
on terrorists attacks in the territory of Israel or territories 
administered by Israel or the Palestinian Authority in which 
U.S. citizens were killed.
Section 203--Royal Ulster Constabulary Training.
    This section updates and modifies a provision of current 
law that bans Federal funds from being used to support any 
training or exchange programs conducted by the Federal Bureau 
of Investigation or any other Federal law enforcement agency 
for the Royal Ulster Constabulary until the President certifies 
that vetting procedures have been established in all 
appropriate Federal agencies to ensure that the training 
programs will not include RUC members who are believed to have 
committed or condoned human rights violations including any 
role in the murder of Patrick Finucane or Rosemary Nelson or 
other violence or threat of violence against defense attorneys. 
This section requires a report, within 60 days of enactment, on 
the scope of previous training programs. The section requires a 
second report that outlines the extent to which the British 
government has implemented the 175 recommendations listed in 
the Patten Commission report on policing reforms in Northern 
Ireland including those recommendations that emphasize the 
integration of respect for human rights and emphasize efforts 
to recruit Catholics for the new police force. (The RUC has had 
proportionally far fewer Catholics than the population of 
Northern Ireland.) This report should also provide information 
on the integration of members of the Garda Siochana (the 
national police force of the Republic of Ireland) or other 
experienced police force applicants into the senior ranks of 
the RUC by both the British and Irish governments, as 
envisioned by the Patten report. The section requires that the 
report also include information on the status of the murder 
investigations of defense attorneys Rosemary Nelson and Patrick 
Finucane and the murder of Robert Hamill. In April 1999, the 
House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the 
murder of Rosemary Nelson, who had testified before the 
International Relations Subcommittee on Human Rights, and 
calling for independent judicial inquiries into the Finucane 
and Nelson murders. The report is designed to provide Congress 
with up-to-date information on these matters.
Section 204--Report concerning Elimination of Colombia Opium.
    This section requires a report which outlines a 
comprehensive strategy to address the crisis with respect to 
heroin in the U.S. due to opium originating from Colombia. The 
report should also include a discussion of efforts to control 
precursor chemicals, many of which come primarily from Europe 
and are not manufactured in Colombia.
Section 205--Repeal of Provision Regarding Housing for Foreign 
        Agricultural Attache.
    This section repeals section 736 of the FY 2001 
Agricultural Appropriations Act (P.L. 106-387), which requires 
the State Department to receive the approval of the Foreign 
Agricultural Service (FAS) before the sale of any foreign 
property occupied by the agricultural attache. It further 
provides that sales proceeds must be used to acquire 
appropriate housing for the use of the agricultural attache.
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture (``USDA'') obtained 
enactment of section 736 without consultation with or the 
concurrence of the Department of State or its authorization and 
appropriation committees. Section 736 directly conflicts with 
the unified, efficient management of real property under a 
Single Real Property Manager and directly impinges on State 
authorities.
    The State Department has identified 18 residences that are 
occupied by agricultural attaches. Although some may have been 
historically and consistently assigned to agricultural 
attaches, others were assigned to the attaches in accordance 
with the established program of assigning government-owned 
dedicated housing to the heads of foreign affairs agencies. 
Like other agencies, USDA agreed to pool such housing as part 
of the 1992 agreement to adopt the current housing policy. If 
section 736 were to continue, the State Department would be 
obliged to limit housing assignments of agricultural attaches 
to only those units that are owned by the USDA; and to begin, 
as permitted under statute, to charge USDA for maintenance. 
Decentralized real property management could create separate 
and unequal housing policies, which would conflict with the 
current rights of all Foreign Affairs agencies to government-
owned housing.
Section 206--Human Rights Monitoring.
    Section 206 provides that funds authorized to be available 
only for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) 
pursuant to section 101(B)(ii) are authorized to be available 
to fund positions at United States posts abroad that are 
primarily responsible for following human rights developments 
in foreign countries and that are assigned at the 
recommendation of the DRL bureau in conjunction with the 
relevant regional bureau. The purpose of this is to encourage 
greater attention at overseas posts to the monitoring of human 
rights by making funds available for such positions. As 
indicated previously, the Committee believes that the issues 
addressed by this Bureau need to be at the core of U.S. foreign 
policy. While the Committee wants to provide some flexibility 
to the Department in how to administer its increase, the 
Committee believes that one way to strengthen these functions 
is to provide the DRL bureau with the ability to assign some 
officers to U.S. posts abroad. It is clear that DRL will be 
strengthened both in the officers it can attract to serve in 
the Bureau and in the way it is viewed by the rest of the 
Department if it has the primary responsibility for such 
assignments. While the Committee recognizes that it is 
traditionally the role of the regional bureaus to make 
assignments of officers to posts, the Committee intends that in 
the future DRL be able to make the assignments, although it 
would have to consult with the regional bureau. The Committee 
does not believe that this approach would be satisfied by 
merely designating certain officers assigned abroad as 
primarily human rights officers, without clearly providing DRL 
the key role in making decisions regarding assignments. 
Moreover, the Committee is not trying to create a ``human 
rights cone.'' The Committee recognizes that in certain 
countries, designating a particular officer as a ``human rights 
officer'' would inhibit rather than increase an officer's 
ability to follow human rights developments in such country. 
Rather, the Committee expects that certain officers in the 
political section of a particular mission would be responsible 
for human rights issues, along with other issues. The key issue 
is that the assignment would be primarily the responsibility of 
the DRL bureau.
Section 207--Correction of Fishermen's Protective Act.
    This section makes a technical correction to section 7 of 
the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967 (FPA), as amended, which 
was enacted to deter foreign governments from seizing U.S. 
commercial fishing vessels based on claims to a fisheries 
jurisdiction not recognized by the United States. One of the 
State Department's primary responsibilities under the FPA is to 
administer funds from which reimbursement could be sought by 
U.S. vessel owners. The FPA amendments last year erroneously 
transferred certain responsibilities from the Secretary of the 
Interior to the Secretary of Commerce, rather than to the 
Secretary of State. The Department of Commerce has expressed 
concurrence in this change.
Section 208--International Litigation Fund.
    This section allows the State Department to be reimbursed 
for costs associated with representing American citizens or 
companies in international claims. The section would allow the 
Department to deduct and retain 1.5% of payments of at least 
$100,000 up to $5 million, and 1% of payments above $5 million 
received by the Department from foreign governments or foreign 
entities as a result of the Department's pursuit of claims on 
behalf of U.S. citizens or others. The funds so retained would 
be placed into the International Litigation Fund, which was 
established by Congress in 1994 (at 22 U.S.C. 2710) to provide 
a dependable and flexible source of funds for expenses relating 
to preparing or prosecuting a proceeding before an 
international tribunal, or a claim by or against a foreign 
government or other foreign entity. The Fund has no dedicated 
source of money; rather, it depends for funding on voluntary 
contributions, transfers from other agencies, or 
reprogrammings.
    Similar deductions are taken from Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal 
awards, and 5 percent is deducted from awards of the Foreign 
Claims Settlement Commission.
Section 209--Emergency Evacuation Services.
    This provision clarifies that the State Department has the 
authority to seek reimbursement from private American citizens, 
and third country nationals for the cost of an emergency 
evacuation when their lives are threatened by war, civil unrest 
or a natural disaster, affirming the Department's longstanding 
practice in this regard.
Section 210--Implementation of the Intercountry Adoption Act.
    This section requires the State Department's Bureau of 
Consular Affairs to consult with the appropriate Congressional 
Committees on the implementation of the Intercountry Adoption 
Act (PL 106-279).
    This act was the subject of significant controversy in the 
106th Congress. A wide range of adoption agencies from around 
the country that are involved in international adoptions were 
in frequent contact with the Committee and the Executive branch 
regarding issues that arose in the context of the Intercountry 
Adoption Act. In response, the Committee ensured that, unlike 
many regulations in the foreign policy area, the Department 
would have to go through normal comment periods required by the 
Administrative Procedures Act as the Department moved forward 
in implementation of the act. At the same time, the Committee 
has repeatedly asked for briefings regarding the implementation 
of the act and requested to be kept informed of important 
developments. Regrettably, the Department has not honored these 
requests in an appropriate way. Briefings have been sketchy, 
with the Department reluctant to provide fulsome responses to 
the Committee's inquiries. Specific requests to be kept 
informed of developments have been ignored, with the Committee 
learning of major developments in implementation only after the 
fact. The Committee regards this as unfortunate because the 
Committee believes that exchanges that have taken place have 
ended up improving the Department's approach to the 
implementation of the act. The Committee intends that this 
provision will usher in a better dialogue between the 
Department and the Committee, and that the Department will 
provide information on an ongoing basis and on latest 
developments in implementation, including notice before major 
developments occur.
Section 211--Report Concerning the Effect of Plan Colombia on Ecuador.
    This section requires a report which outlines a 
comprehensive strategy to address the spillover effect of Plan 
Colombia on Ecuador.
Section 212--Report Concerning Efforts to Promote Israel's Diplomatic 
        Relations With Other Countries.
    This section requires an annual report by the Secretary of 
State regarding actions taken by representatives of the U.S. to 
encourage other countries to establish full diplomatic 
relations with Israel.
Section 213--Reports on Activities in Republic of Colombia.
    This section requires two separate reports by the Secretary 
of State on Plan Colombia. The first report is required every 6 
months and will include a summary of U.S. funded activities in 
the Republic of Colombia. The second report is an annual report 
on the activities of the U.S. businesses that have entered into 
agreements with the Department of State to carry out 
counternarcotics programs in the Republic of Colombia.

                    Subtitle B--Consular Authorities

Section 231--Machine Readable Visas.
    This section extends the Department's authority to collect 
and retain the machine readable visa (MRV) fees for fiscal 
years 2002 and 2003. It provides $414,000,000 for fiscal year 
2002 and $422,000,000 for fiscal year 2003 to fund consular 
services activities and border security operations.
Section 232--Establishment of a Consular Branch Office in Lhasa, Tibet.
    Requires the Secretary of State to make best efforts to 
establish a branch consular office in Tibet.
Section 233--Establishment of a Diplomatic Post in Equatorial Guinea.
    Requires the Secretary of State to establish a post in 
Equatorial Guinea for the purposes of providing assistance to 
the American interests present in the country.
Section 234--Processing of Visa Applications.
    The provision states that it shall be the policy of the 
State Department: (a) to process visa applications of immediate 
relatives and fiances of U.S. citizens within 30 days of 
receiving all necessary documents; and (b) to process 
applications sponsored by someone other than an immediate 
relative within 60 days.
Section 235--U.S. Policy with respect to Jerusalem as the Capital of 
        Israel.
    This provision includes a statement of policy that Congress 
is committed to relocating the U.S. embassy in Israel to 
Jerusalem. In addition it states that: 1) none of the funds 
authorized may be expended for the operation of a U.S. 
consulate in Jerusalem unless such consulate is under the 
supervision of the U.S. Ambassador to Israel; 2) none of the 
funds authorized may be available for the publication of any 
official government document which lists countries and their 
capital cities unless the publication identifies Jerusalem as 
the capital of Israel; and 3) for purposes of the registration 
of birth, certificates of nationality, or issuance of a 
passport of a U.S. citizen born in the city of Jerusalem, the 
Secretary of State shall upon request record the place of birth 
as Israel.
Section 236--Denial of Visas to Supporters of Colombian Illegal Armed 
        Groups.
    This section would require the Secretary of State to deny a 
U.S. visa to any alien who the Secretary determines, based on 
credible evidence, has willfully supported any of the three 
major illegal armed groups in Colombia's conflict (the 
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the National 
Liberation Army (ELN), or the United Self-Defense Forces of 
Colombia (AUC)). The Committee does not intend that ``willful 
support'' be interpreted to include payments or supplies given 
as a result of coercion, such as ransom for the release of 
kidnap victims, or monies or services extorted under threat of 
violence. All three illegal groups engage in these activities, 
and the Committee does not intend for this section to punish 
their victims.

                   Subtitle C--Migration and Refugees

Section 251--U.S. Policy Regarding the Involuntary Return of Refugees.
    This provision carries over a provision of the FY 98-99 
Foreign Relations Authorization Act prohibiting the use of 
funds for the involuntary return of any person to a country in 
which that person has a well-founded fear of persecution, and 
requiring notification to Congress when such funds are used for 
involuntary repatriation of persons deemed to be non-refugees.
Section 252--Report on Overseas Refugee Processing.
    This section requires a report on overseas processing of 
refugees for admission to the United States. In particular, the 
report should assess the needs of refugees who do not currently 
have access to U.S. resettlement programs, despite the dramatic 
decline in U.S. refugee admissions over the last decade.
    Refugees in Urgent Need of Resettlement. Although United 
States Embassy officials have legal authority to identify 
``priority one'' refugees--individuals who are particularly 
vulnerable or otherwise in urgent need of resettlement--in 
practice this authority is exercised far more rarely than it 
might be. Instead, in a number of countries around the world 
the Department of State currently insists on a referral from 
the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) 
before making its own judgment on whether an asylum seeker 
should be interviewed for possible resettlement in the United 
States as a priority one refugee. Unfortunately, in many 
locations UNHCR lacks sufficient staff to perform this 
function. The practical result is that many particularly 
vulnerable refugees are left without access to the United 
States program. Subsection (b)(1) of the bill seeks information 
on the extent of this problem and on possible solutions, 
including the development of formal partnerships with field-
based nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that permit the NGOs 
to assist in refugee identification and referral.
    Refugees of Special Concern to the United States. Refugee 
advocates have argued that the dramatic decline in U.S. refugee 
admissions in recent years have been partly due to the 
Department's reluctance to make generous use of the priority 
two resettlement category (groups of refugees who are of 
special concern to the United States). Among groups who are not 
currently considered of special concern, but who are similarly 
situated to other groups that are so designated, are Afghan 
women-at-risk and their dependents in Pakistan; Afghan and 
Algerian victims of non-state persecutors in Germany and France 
who are in danger of deportation; Sudanese ``lost boy'' refugee 
minors in Ethiopia; Iraqis who have suffered torture or are 
associated with the United States; and non-Albanians from 
Kosovo, including Roma, Muslim Slavs, Gorani, Ashkaeli and 
Turks, as well as people in mixed marriages who cannot 
integrate with major, established nationality groups in the 
region. Subsection (b)(2) of this section requests information 
on this issue and on how more generous use might be made of the 
priority two category.
    Refugees in Need of Family Reunification. In recent years 
the Department of State has drastically reduced its use of the 
family reunification processing priorities to such a level that 
in FY 2001 only six countries are designated for priority three 
processing (refugees who are the spouses, parents, or unmarried 
children of U.S. citizens or lawful residents) and no countries 
are designated for priorities four and five (refugees who are 
close relatives of U.S. citizens or lawful residents, other 
than spouses, parents, and children). This has occurred at the 
same time that refugee admissions have declined dramatically, 
and that even reduced annual ceilings have gone unmet. For 
example, there were 12,500 unused refugee admission slots in FY 
2000. Subsection (b)(3) seeks information on this phenomenon 
and on alterntatives for making family reunification processing 
more broadly available. Such alternatives should include 
broader use not only of priority three but also of priorities 
four and five, particularly in circumstances where refugees 
have spent extensive periods of time in refugee camps with no 
immediate prospect of safe and voluntary repatriation.
    Urban Refugees. At present, UNHCR reports that more than 
25% of the world's refugees can be found in urban areas. Many 
of these refugees are denied legal employment, education, the 
most basic social services or protection from local 
persecution. In many countries that are signatories to the 
Refugee Convention, as well as in those that are not, local 
integration is seldom a viable option. Subsection (b)(4) seeks 
more information on this problem and on alternatives for 
expanding resettlement opportunities for urban refugees and 
others outside refugee camps, particularly those who are in 
urgent need of resettlement, who are members of groups of 
refugees of special concern to the United States, or who have 
family ties to the United States.
    Possible creation of a new priority six category for 
certain ``long-stayers'' in refugee camps. While striving to 
find durable solutions for refugees, including safe and 
voluntary repatriation and local integration in countries of 
first asylum, institutions charged with refugee protection have 
come to recognize that these solutions are unavailable to many 
refugees. They may therefore spend years or even decades in 
refugee camps, under conditions that are always uncertain and 
often quite harsh. At a time when refugee admissions have 
declined, the United States should assess the possibility of 
admitting those ``long stayers'' whose circumstances clearly 
suggest no durable solution other than resettlement. Subsection 
(b)(5) seeks the Department's assessment of this possibility.
    Private voluntary agencies. Section (b)(6) seeks 
information on the extent to which the Department uses private 
voluntary agencies to assist in the identification of refugees 
for possible admission to the United States. For decades, 
private voluntary agencies contracted to the State Department 
have played a central role in U.S. refugee processing 
overseas--promoting refugee protection, preparing cases for INS 
adjudicating officers, offering cultural orientation programs, 
and working with domestic resettlement agencies to direct 
refugees to the areas of the country best suited to meet their 
health, employment and other needs. This process has been 
essential in galvanizing public support for the refugee 
program. While private voluntary agencies are still used in 
some instances, recent practice raises concerns that this mode 
of processing refugees abroad is no longer the preferred 
approach. Instead, the Department has increasingly turned to 
international organizations to perform the functions 
traditionally performed by the voluntary agencies. This 
subsection requests the Department's assessment of the 
advantages and disadvantages of private voluntary agencies, the 
reasons for any decline in their use, and alternatives for the 
expanded use of such agencies.
    Reception and Placement Grants. Subsection (b)(7) seeks 
information on the extent to which the reception and placement 
grant to agencies assisting in resettlement of refugees 
(currently $740 per refugee) has kept up with the cost of 
providing such services.
    Estimates of Cost and Impact on Refugee Ceilings. 
Subsection (b)(8) makes clear that the report should include an 
assessment of the cost of each change in current practice or 
procedure discussed in the report, as well as an estimate of 
any likely increase in the annual refugee admission ceiling.

           TITLE III--ORGANIZATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE

                   Subtitle A--Organizational Matters

Section 301--Comprehensive Workforce Plan.
    Requires the State Department to submit to Congress a 
comprehensive workforce plan within 6 months of the date of 
enactment. It also requires that the Department develop within 
1 year of the date of enactment a domestic staffing model to 
assist in determining workforce needs in future years. The 
Committee has been disappointed with the lack of progress on 
workforce planning and in particular the Department's inability 
to match staffing requirements to meet the policy needs of 
overseas posts and Washington. This requires dramatically 
improved coordination between the post mission plans, the 
regional bureaus policy priorities, and the Bureau of 
Personnel.
Section 302--Rightsizing Overseas Posts.
    Requires the Department to establish both an internal and 
an interagency task force to review issues of overseas staffing 
presence. This follows through on numerous reports including 
the Overseas Presence Advisory Panel report that details the 
need to ``right size'' the overseas posts--which means staffing 
the post to the mission. Reports on the progress of each of 
these task forces are required.
Section 303--Qualifications of Certain Officers of the Department of 
        State.
    Following previous statutory models for requiring certain 
qualifications for assistant secretary level positions at the 
State Department, this section requires any assistant secretary 
having primary responsibility for international narcotics and 
law enforcement to have substantial professional qualifications 
in the fields of management and Federal law enforcement.
Section 304--U.S. Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues.
    This section requires the establishment of a Special 
Coordinator for Tibetan Issues, and enumerates the duties and 
responsibilities of such position.
Section 305--U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan Issues.
    This section requires the State Department to appoint a 
special envoy for Sudan Issues. The provision requires the 
duties of such envoy to include working for a peaceful 
resolution of the conflict in Sudan and an end to abuses of 
human rights, including religious freedom in Sudan.

                     Subtitle B--Personnel Matters

Section 331--Report Concerning Retired Foreign Service Officers.
    This section requires an annual report of all retired civil 
service and foreign service officers who are also registered 
under the Foreign Agents Registration Act as an agent of a 
government of a foreign country who may have access to State 
Department facilities.
Section 332--Tibetan Language Training.
    This section requires the Secretary of State to make 
Tibetan language training available to foreign service officers 
assigned to the consulate with responsibility for Tibet.
Section 333--Travel for Dependents on Family Visitation.
    This section provides foreign service families who are 
separated because of an assignment to an unaccompanied post 
greater flexibility in arranging authorized family visits. 
Currently only the foreign service officer may travel to visit 
family within a certain dollar limitation. This provision would 
allow within that same cap for other family members to be 
authorized to travel in order to meet on authorized family 
visits.
    Specifically, this provision amends section 901 of the 
Foreign Service Act of 1980 to extend eligibility for Family 
Visitation Travel (FVT) to family members of Foreign Service 
members. Currently, section 901 authorizes FVT only for members 
of the Foreign Service. This amendment would allow members 
traveling on FVT to visit their children at locations other 
than their home leave addresses.
Section 334--Thomas Jefferson Star.
    This section changes the name of the ``Foreign Service 
Star'' to the ``Thomas Jefferson Star'' in order to properly 
reflect the inclusive nature of the award, which can be 
presented to State Department Foreign and Civil Service 
employees who are injured or gave their lives while assigned 
abroad.
    The ``Foreign Service Star Award'' was established by 
section 321 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 2000 
and 2001, adding to section 36(A) ``Award of the Foreign 
Service Star'' to the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 
1956 (22 U.S.C. 2708a). When that legislation was presented to 
the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House on 
March 22, 1999, the Foreign Service Star Award was proposed to 
``remedy [a] deficiency by establishing a Foreign Service Star 
for Foreign Service, Civil Service, or other civilian employees 
assigned permanently or temporarily to an official mission 
overseas or traveling abroad on official business who . . . are 
killed or wounded in the service of diplomacy.''
    The legislation makes clear that this award covers members 
of the Foreign Service or Civil Service, persons hired pursuant 
to personal services contracts or other agreements, Foreign 
Service Nationals, or other civilian employees. The proposed 
change from the ``Foreign Service Star Award'' to the ``Thomas 
Jefferson Star Award'' does not affect the nature of the award, 
but instead corrects the misperception that the award was 
intended only for members of the Foreign Service.
Section 335--Health Education and Disease Prevention Programs.
    This section amends section 904(b) of the Foreign Service 
Act of 1980, as amended (22 U.S.C. 4084) so that the Department 
of State may better allow its medical professionals to provide 
counseling and educational materials to locally engaged staff 
for diseases to which they are exposed but that may not be 
attributable to the workplace. The Department of State Office 
of Medical Services (MED) currently provides on-the-job illness 
and injury services for locally engaged staff. The added 
legislation would clarify that when it is in the interest of 
the U.S. Government, U.S. Government medical professionals can 
provide health information and counseling.
Section 336--Training Authority.
    This section repeals the scheduled termination of certain 
Departmental authorities with respect to training at the 
Foreign Service Institute. Section 701 of the Foreign Service 
Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 4021), as recently amended, authorizes 
the Secretary to provide, on a reimbursable or advance-of-funds 
basis, appropriate training and related services at the 
institute to employees of United States companies that do 
business abroad, and to family members of such employees, when 
such training is in the U.S. national interest, and further 
authorizes the Secretary to provide, on a reimbursable basis, 
training programs to Members of Congress or the Judiciary and 
employees of the legislative and judicial branches. This 
provision makes the pilot program permanent.
Section 337--Foreign National Retirement Plans.
    This section amends section 408 of the Foreign Service Act 
(22 U.S.C. 3968) to explicitly authorize the Department of the 
Treasury to hold foreign national retirement funds and 
accumulated interest. Section 408 provides that the employees 
hired by the Department and other agencies overseas are 
compensated based on prevailing wage rates and compensation 
practices to the extent consistent with public interest. In 
particular, section 408 explicitly provides the authority for 
such agencies and their locally engaged staff to make payments 
to a trust or other fund in a financial institution in order to 
finance future benefits for such staff.
    The Department believes that having the Department of 
Treasury act as a financial institution to hold the funds 
contributed by the agencies and their locally engaged staff 
(i.e., the funds contributed based on prevailing practice or 
the funds voluntarily contributed by the locally engaged staff) 
would provide a safe and secure means of ensuring the overseas 
staff's retirement needs are adequately met.
    The State Department has been working on this proposal with 
the Department of Treasury, and, in order to hold these funds, 
the Department of the Treasury requires specific statutory 
authority clarifying that Treasury can hold the funds, that the 
Secretary of State may administer these funds on behalf of the 
persons compensated under section 408 (including persons hired 
pursuant to personal service contracts or agreements and 
persons hired by other agencies) and that the funds may be 
invested in public debt obligations. The amendment provides the 
explicit authority to retain dividends, as well as interest, in 
a fund to be established for voluntary contributions by 
locally-engaged staff world-wide. It also permits the 
Department the possibility of offering locally engaged staff a 
voluntary savings plan with a greater range of investment 
opportunities to mirror, to the extent practicable, the Thrift 
Savings Plan.
Section 338--Presidential Rank Awards.
    This section amends section 405(b)(3) of the Foreign 
Service Act of 1980, as amended (22 U.S.C. 3965 (b)(3)). 
Recently, the civil service Senior Executive Service award 
program was changed to permit the top cash awards to be 
determined by a percentage of base pay. The top Senior Foreign 
Service awards currently are capped at $10,000 and $20,000 
levels. This section would change the Foreign Service 
Presidential rank awards caps to match the similar Senior 
Executive Service percentages of 20% and 35%.
Section 339--Emergency Medical Advance Payments.
    This section amends section 5927 of title 5, U.S.C. to 
extend current authority to give salary advances for medical 
emergencies to persons hired locally under personal service 
contracts or agreements and foreign national employees of non-
foreign affairs agencies.
    In the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, FY 2000 and 
2001, the Department and other agencies received the authority 
to advance up to 3 months' pay to an employee assigned or 
located outside of the United States on Government 
authorization (i.e., on temporary duty), when the employee or 
family member must undergo certain medical treatments abroad. 
The authorization language, however, unintentionally excluded 
certain categories of employees, including persons hired 
pursuant to personal service agreements or contracts as well as 
foreign nationals employed by non-foreign affairs agencies 
appointed under authority of title 5. This section extends to 
foreign national employees and non-family member United States 
citizen employees hired abroad when such individuals need 
medical care while they are located outside their country of 
employment on U.S. Government authorization.
Section 340--Unaccompanied Air Baggage.
    This section amends current law which authorizes the 
educational travel benefit in regard to unaccompanied air 
baggage. It would allow dependent children of Foreign Service 
members who attend school in the United States the option of 
leaving their belongings in short-term commercial storage in 
the United States, if there is no additional cost, instead of 
shipping their baggage to post.
Section 341--Special Agent Authorities.
    Expands protective function of the Diplomatic Security 
Service to cover not only the Secretary of State and a person 
who is designated to be Secretary of State by the President, 
but also the designee of a President-elect who has not yet 
taken office.
Section 342--Report Concerning Minority Employment.
    This section requires a report on the status of minority 
recruitment and promotion efforts in the Department of State 
for both the Civil and Foreign Service. It is similar to a 
provision adopted in the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, 
Fiscal Years 1998 and 1999, and adds information regarding 
recruitment and promotion of the Civil Service to the 
preexisting provision. The Committee also believes that data 
must be made available on the promotion of qualified incumbent 
minority professionals.
Section 343--Use of Funds Authorized for Minority Recruitment.
    This section addresses questions regarding minority 
recruitment but in the context of how funds specifically 
designated by this act for such recruitment should be used.
    343(a)--Conducting Recuritment Activities. This section 
provides that amounts authorized for minority recruitment under 
section 101(1)(B)(iii) shall be used only for activities 
directly related to minority recruitment. Salaries of employees 
involved in recruitment efforts are not to be counted toward 
that amount.
    343(b)--Recruitment Activities at Academic Institutions. 
This section provides that the State Department must expand its 
recruitment efforts to 25 percent of Historically Black 
Colleges and Universities and 25 percent of Hispanic-serving 
institutions, as defined by law.
    343(c)--Evaluation of Recruitment Efforts. This section 
requires the Secretary to establish a database relating to 
efforts to recruit members of minority groups into the Foreign 
and Civil Service and to report on the evaluation of efforts to 
recruit such individuals.
    The Committee continues to be very concerned with regard to 
progress at the Department in recruiting and promoting members 
of minority groups to serve in the Foreign and Civil Service. 
Diversity in the work place can only help enhance the 
diplomatic power of the United States by bringing a broader 
range of viewpoints and cultural backgrounds into the 
Department. The Department has not made enough progress in this 
area, and the Committee wishes to underscore that the 
Department has one of the worst records among Federal agencies 
in terms of Hispanic recruitment and promotion. This provision 
is intended to enhance the Department's ability to recruit 
members of minority groups by dedicating funds allocated for 
minority recruitment to activities directly related to such 
recruitment. Moreover, the Committee believes that the 
Department should enhance its recruiting efforts at 
Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic-
serving institutions. While the Committee understands that the 
Department is recruiting at some of these institutions, the 
Committee believes that these efforts should be expanded, with 
the goal of reaching out to a much greater percentage of such 
institutions.
    In addition, the Committee is concerned that the Department 
does not keep track of its recruitment efforts to determine 
their effectiveness. This failure sends a disturbing signal 
that the Department may not be taking its current efforts 
seriously. The Committee therefore believes that the Department 
should keep records, to the extent practicable, regarding the 
members of minority groups it has recruited or tried to 
persuade to join the Department's work force during its 
recruiting activities, and endeavor to determine whether such 
persons applied to or became employed by the Department. 
Improved results can be established only through reasonable and 
systematic record keeping that clearly and definitively 
measures the performance and outcomes of recruitment efforts. 
While the Department is to be lauded for programs in place that 
are minority-focused, the results of these programs have yet to 
be measured. The Department must be able to report to Congress 
concrete outcomes of its recruitment efforts. For example, the 
Department must find a way to show how many candidates were 
recruited who passed the written or oral exams, and, of those, 
how many ultimately were hired by the Department. The 
Department should be precise in establishing which activities 
have obtained results in terms of recruitment and promotion of 
minorities. Mere participation of minority individuals in a 
program does not constitute an adequate measure of that 
program's effectiveness.
    The Committee understands, however, that while recruitment 
must focus on such institutions as Historically Black Colleges 
and Universities and Hispanic-serving institutions and other 
similarly-designated institutions, the Department must also 
recruit members of minority groups at other institutions of 
higher learning throughout the United States.

            TITLE IV--U.S. EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL PROGRAMS

Section 401--Extension of Requirement for Scholarships for Tibetans and 
        Burmese.
    This section extends the authorization for the exchange and 
scholarship programs for Tibetan and Burmese exiles (contained 
in Public Law 104-319, the Human Rights, Refugee, and Other 
Foreign Relations Provisions Act of 1996) through fiscal years 
2002 and 2003.
Section 402--Nonprofit Entities for Cultural Programs.
    This provision provides a mechanism for the private sector 
to provide funds for international education and arts programs 
of the State Department. The purpose of this provision is to 
encourage private donations for such programs to make up for 
the decline of almost 70% in appropriated funds for arts 
programs since 1990. These activities have the strong support 
of ambassadors and the American international arts community. 
Cultural diplomacy, especially the presentation abroad of the 
finest of America's creative, performing and visual arts can 
advance U.S. interests.
    The Department already has authority under section 105(f) 
of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as 
amended, to accept private donations of funds, property, and 
services. This section would amend section 105(f), 22 U.S.C. 
2255(f), to expressly authorize the establishment of private, 
nonprofit entities which could accept such donations and better 
encourage participation and support by the U.S. private sector 
for cultural programs abroad. The Secretary of State would be 
authorized to make such arrangements as would be necessary to 
carry out the purposes of these entities, including the 
solicitation and receipt of funds and designation of members of 
boards.
Section 403--Fulbright-Hays Authorities.
    This provision amends subsection 112(d) of the Mutual 
Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as amended 
(``Fulbright-Hays Act''), to affirm the Bureau of Educational 
and Cultural Affairs longstanding practice of administering 
programs that promote the purposes of Fulbright-Hays but 
operate under other statutory authorities.
    Section 112(d) of the Fulbright-Hays Act provides that the 
Bureau shall administer no programs except those operating 
under the authority of this act and consistent with its 
purposes. However, the Bureau administers programs authorized 
and appropriated pursuant to statutes other than Fulbright-
Hays, such as the Freedom Support Act, the Foreign Assistance 
Act of 1961 (Economic Support Funds), and the SEED Act. While 
certain of these statutes reference the Fulbright-Hays Act, 
others do not. This provision makes clear that such programs 
are lawful so long as they promote the purposes of the 
Fulbright-Hays Act.
Section 404--Ethical Issues in International Health Research.
    This section provides that the Secretary shall make 
available funds for public diplomacy and exchanges for 
activities to provide opportunities to researchers in 
developing countries to obtain scholarships and otherwise 
participate in activities related to ethical issues in human 
subject research. In December 2000 a series of articles in the 
press described violations of ethical standards of clinical 
research in overseas human subjects research. In virtually all 
world regions, researchers documented instances where drugs too 
risky for trials in the U.S. were tested on uninformed human 
subjects. In other examples, patients were not properly 
informed and had not given consent to participate in the 
studies.
    While the boom in pharmaceutical research has resulted in 
enormous strides bringing new prevention and treatment 
medicines to millions of individuals, the ethical morass 
surrounding overseas research is far too troubling to ignore. 
In January 2001, the Department of Health and Human Services 
established a new office to oversee U.S.-funded medical 
research on foreign patients and address ethical problems 
raised by conducting research in developing countries. Other 
governmental, academic, and public organizations are developing 
ways to manage the burgeoning industry of research-related 
companies that do nothing but profiteer from patient 
recruitment. Recently, the National Advisory Committee on 
Bioethics issued a draft report on ethical and policy issues 
involving human participants, including internationally, and 
will be seeking public comment shortly.
    Effective mechanisms do not exist to oversee the vast 
number of studies emerging as a result of the globalization of 
drug testing and will require many years to develop. In the 
meantime, it is imperative that researchers in poor countries 
are trained in international ethical standards governing 
clinical research. This provision will allow these researchers 
opportunities to participate in forums, conferences, and 
seminars where ethical issues in international health research 
are shared with participants from all world regions.

          TITLE V--U. S. INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING ACTIVITIES

Section 501--Eliminating Staff Positions for the Advisory Board for 
        Cuba Broadcasting.
    This section eliminates the position of Staff Director for 
the Advisory Board for Cuba Broadcasting and allows for any 
savings from the elimination of this position to be available 
for broadcasting to Cuba.
Section 502--Reports on Broadcasting Personnel.
    Requires not later than 3 months after enactment, and every 
3 months thereafter for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 the 
Broadcasting Board of Governors shall submit a report on its 
efforts to diversify the workforce at the Broadcasting Board of 
Governors.
Section 503--Personal Services Contracting Pilot Program.
    This section provides the Broadcasting Board of Governors 
the authority to implement a 4-year pilot program to use 
personal services contracts in the U.S. to employ individuals 
in the International Broadcasting Bureau and the Voice of 
America. This authority will provide greater flexibility to the 
Board in its employment practices. Recent international events 
have required the broadcast services to quickly increase the 
hours of broadcasts. Since these demands are episodic, it would 
be useful to be able to respond with personnel who are employed 
for a fixed period of time and on an ``as needed'' basis. This 
limited authority to hire up to 50 personal services 
contractors as broadcasters, producers or writers would enhance 
the agency's responsiveness to crises and support existing 
broadcasts while there is a limited authority to grant 
extensions to existing contracts past the termination of the 
authority on December 31, 2005, it should be used sparingly for 
essential employees and should not grant extensions past July 
31, 2006.
Section 504--Pay Parity For Senior Executives of Radio Free Europe/
        Radio Liberty.
    This section addresses an issue of pay parity of Radio Free 
Europe/Radio Liberty managers when compared to their civil 
service counterparts. Section 308(h)(1)(A) of the International 
Broadcasting Act provides that RFE/RL grant funds may not be 
used ``to pay any salary or compensation in excess of the rate 
of pay payable for level IV of the Executive Schedule under 
section 5315 of title 5, United States Code.'' This provision 
has been interpreted as placing a cap on the salaries of senior 
managers at the rate of pay for Executive Level IV, exclusive 
of locality pay. RFE/RL senior managers are not Federal 
employees and are not covered under the Federal Employee Pay 
Comparability Act of 1990 which provides for locality 
adjustments in certain high-cost areas. This amendment makes up 
to two senior managers eligible to receive a salary benefit 
equivalent to the comparable Senior Executive Service salary 
with locality pay.
Section 505--Repeal of Ban on U.S. Transmitter in Kuwait.
    This section repeals section 226 of the Foreign Relations 
Authorization Act Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995 (P.L. 103-236) 
that prohibits the expenditure of funds for the design, 
development, or construction of a U.S. transmitter in Kuwait. 
The Kuwait Transmitting Station is an ideal location from which 
to broadcast to China, Southeast Asia, Russia, Central and 
South Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Africa. The 
current station provides VOA with medium wave transmission to 
Iraq, Iran and the Gulf Region of the Middle East. This repeal 
would allow the building of a short-wave transmission facility 
at this site.

         TITLE VI--INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMISSIONS

Section 601--United Nations Arrears Payments and Reform.
    The provision makes changes to the United Nations Reform 
Act of 1999 authorizing the payment of U.S. arrearages to the 
United Nations. The principal effect of the amendment is to 
allow a second arrearage payment of $582 million to be made to 
the United Nations immediately. The provision also makes other 
changes to existing law that are necessary to release the 
arrearage payments authorized by the United Nations Reform Act. 
The rationale for making these changes is that Ambassador 
Holbrooke succeeded last year in negotiating a reduction in the 
percentage of the regular United Nations budget paid by the 
United States (from 25% to 22%), and as part of this bargain 
the United States is obligated to release the arrearage 
payments authorized by the United Nations Reform Act. Specific 
changes to the United Nations Reform Act made by this provision 
include:
         LPartial lifting of the statutory cap on the 
        percentage of the United Nations peacekeeping budget 
        paid by the United States (from 25% to 28.15% for 2 
        years).
         LModification of the mechanism for releasing 
        the third arrearage payment of $244 million, so that 
        funds can be released to individual United Nations-
        affiliated organizations as they make the reforms 
        mandated by the United Nations Reform Act (rather than 
        holding up all funds until all such organizations make 
        the reforms).
    This subsection amends section 6 of the United Nations 
Participation Act of 1945 to eliminate any suggestion in that 
provision of law that Congress encourages the President to 
negotiate an agreement with the United Nations Security Council 
in accordance with Article 43 of the Charter of the United 
Nations. Such an agreement would provide for making specific 
elements of the United States Armed Forces available to the 
Security Council on its call for peace enforcement operations. 
The revised section 6 retains the requirement contained in the 
existing section 6 that any such agreement negotiated by the 
President with the Security Council must be approved by 
Congress by appropriate act or joint resolution before it may 
take effect.
Section 602--Travel by Advisory Committee Members to Great Lakes 
        Fishery Commission Annual Meeting.
    This section makes a change to the Great Lakes Fishery Act 
of 1956 to increase the number of government officials 
permitted to travel to the annual meeting from 5 to 10.
    This section is needed to reflect a change in the meeting 
structure for the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission (GLFC), 
which promotes environmental protection and economic 
development among the Great Lakes member states and Canada. 
When section 4 of the Great Lakes Fisheries Act of 1956 was 
originally enacted, the GLFC held two annual meetings per year 
with five members of the Great Lakes Fisheries Advisory 
Committee attending each meeting. The GLFC now holds only one 
annual meeting. This provision will permit the State Department 
to fund the travel of up to 10 members of the advisory 
committee to the one annual meeting.
Section 603--U.S. Policy on Composition of U.N. Human Rights 
        Commission.
    This section addresses a vital concern regarding the U.N. 
Commission on Human Rights. The Commission has important 
debates on critical human rights issues, and has been a useful 
forum for both governments and nongovernmental organizations to 
express their views regarding human rights concerns. However, 
if this forum is to be taken seriously, it cannot be a forum 
for human rights violators to manipulate the debate and voting 
process in their favor. At a minimum any country that serves on 
the Commission should be open to any visit from a U.N. official 
or rapporteur or from representatives of nongovernmental human 
rights organizations. In future selections for the Commission, 
the Committee believes that the United States should work to 
ensure that this principle is a key consideration for all 
countries.
Section 604--U.S. Membership in the International Organization for 
        Migration.
    This provision gives United States assent to several recent 
amendments to the charter of the International Organization for 
Migration (IOM). According to the IOM charter, such amendments 
cannot go into effect without the assent of a two-thirds 
majority of member states. One of the amendments to which this 
provision gives assent will permit minor amendments to be made 
by the IOM governing body, but will continue to require the 
assent of member states to fundamental amendments.
Section 605--Report Relating to Commission on Security and Cooperation 
        in Europe.
    This section rewrites and updates a current reporting 
requirement of the Department of State to the Commission on 
Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Section 606--Reports to Congress on United Nations Activities.
    This section makes technical changes to several existing 
reporting requirements relating to the United Nations. The 
section deletes a requirement that the Secretary of State 
transmit United Nations Security Council resolutions to 
Congress within 3 days of their adoption, in recognition of the 
fact that these resolutions are now immediately available to 
the public on the internet. The section also consolidates two 
separate reporting requirements on United States assistance to 
international organizations into one annual reporting 
requirement. Finally, the section streamlines an existing 
reporting requirement regarding United States assistance to 
United Nations peacekeeping operations.

                   TITLE VII--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISONS

Section 701--Amendments to the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000.
    This section makes two technical amendments to the Iran 
Nonproliferation Act of 2000. The first amendment revises 
section 2 of such act to require that reports submitted to 
Congress pursuant to section 2(a) of the act contain, in 
addition to the other matters specified in section 2, a brief 
description of certain relevant facts and circumstances 
surrounding each transfer that results in a person being 
identified in a report pursuant to section 2(a).
    The Committee anticipates that this amendment will increase 
the usefulness of the reports submitted to Congress pursuant to 
the act by making them more comprehensible to readers in both 
the Executive branch and in Congress.
    The second amendment eliminates a technical error in 
section 5(a)(2) of the act. This error has resulted in certain 
persons being exempted from application of the act because, 
even though they transferred conventional weapons to Iran that 
made a material contribution to Iran's conventional weapons 
capability, the transfer did not also make a material 
contribution to Iran's ability to produce or deliver weapons of 
mass destruction. The amendment ensures that persons making 
such conventional weapons transfers to Iran cannot be exempted 
from application of the measures in the act pursuant to section 
5 of the act unless one of the other grounds for exemption set 
forth in section 5 is satisfied.
Section 702--Amendments to the North Korea Threat Reduction Act of 
        1999.
    This section makes a technical change at two places in the 
North Korea Threat Reduction Act of 1999. The effect of the 
amendments is to clarify the intent of Congress that no nuclear 
goods or technology controlled on the Export Trigger List of 
the Nuclear Suppliers Group may be transferred to North Korea 
from the United States unless a determination and report to 
Congress pursuant to such act has been submitted, and all other 
applicable requirements of United States law have been 
satisfied. The Committee understands that the transfer from the 
United States of goods and technology on the Export Trigger 
List is already subject to the requirements of the Atomic 
Energy Act relating to the negotiation and implementation of an 
agreement for cooperation with the government of a country to 
which such goods or technology are to be transferred.
Section 703--Amendments to the International Religious Freedom Act of 
        1998.
    This provision includes several technical and substantive 
amendments to sections of the International Religious Freedom 
Act of 1998 (IRFA) dealing with the United States Commission on 
Religious Freedom. The provision reflects the Committee's deep 
appreciation of the work of the Commission and the need for 
such work to continue in the future.
    703(a)--Repeal of Termination of Commission. This section 
repeals section 209 of the IRFA, which provides for a 
``sunset'' of the Commission.
    703(b)--Authorization of Appropriations. This section 
authorizes an appropriation of $3,000,000 for the Commission in 
each of fiscal years 2002 and 2003.
    703(c)--Election of Chair of Commission. This section 
provides that the Commission shall elect its chair at the first 
meeting after May 30 of each calendar year, rather than at the 
first meeting of each year, in order to correspond with the 
issuance of the Commission's annual report in June of each 
year.
    703(d)--Procurement of Nongovernmental Services. This 
section amends an unduly burdensome restriction on Commission 
procurement procedures to apply such restriction only to 
procurements in excess of $75,000. The current provision, which 
restricts all procurement to government sources, effectively 
prohibits the Commission from procuring some goods and services 
that are essential to its work. For instance, under the current 
provision the Commission could not pay a nongovernment expert 
on Buddhism to prepare for the Commission an analysis of the 
various schools of Buddhism in Southeast Asia and why one is 
favored over another in Burma). There is value in using 
government sources when possible, but it is not practical in 
all cases. The $75,000 cap will provide the necessary 
flexibility while retaining the benefits of government sources 
for major .
    703(e)--Donation of Services. This section will allow the 
Commission to accept donations of services, such as analysis by 
a foreign policy or religion experts, which could be extremely 
helpful to its work.
    703(f)--Establishment of Staggered Terms. This section 
provides for staggered terms for Commissioners, so as to 
guarantee a measure of continuity and the preservation of 
institutional memory on the Commission.
Section 704--Continuation of U.S. Advisory Commission on Public 
        Diplomacy.
    This section authorizes the U.S. Advisory Commission on 
Public Diplomacy for 4 years, through fiscal year 2005. Sec. 
404 of PL 106-113 terminated the Commission at the end of 
fiscal year 2001. The Committee appreciates the work of the 
Commission and has decided to extend its authorities.
Section 705. Participation of South Asia Countries in International Law 
        Enforcement Academies.
    This section provides that the Secretary of State shall 
ensure, where practicable, that appropriate government 
officials from countries in the South Asia region shall be 
eligible to attend courses at the International Law Enforcement 
Academies located in Bangkok, Thailand, and Budapest, Hungary, 
consistent with other provisions of law, with the goal of 
enhancing regional cooperation in the fight against 
transnational crime.
    The Committee is aware of the limitations on space and 
openings for training at the ILEAs, as well as the capacity to 
translate training lectures into additional languages. However, 
in light of the growing threat posed by transnational crime in 
South Asia, particularly involving narcotics, sex trafficking 
and international terrorism, and considering the growing 
importance of South Asia to U.S. national security and economic 
interests, the Committee hopes that the South Asian nations of 
Pakistan and India will be given primary consideration for 
these ILEAs where it could serve to enhance regional 
cooperation in areas such as terrorism and drug trafficking. In 
addition, secondary consideration should be given to including 
Nepal, to the extent practicable, in light of that country's 
increased role as a transit point for narcotics and its 
continuing problems with trafficking in human beings.

                Subtitle B--Sense of Congress Provisions

Section 731--Sense of Congress Relating to HIV/AIDS and U.N. 
        Peacekeeping Operations.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that the President should 
direct the Secretary of State and the U.S. Representative to 
the U.N. to urge the U.N. to adopt an HIV/AIDS mitigation 
strategy as a component of U.N. peacekeeping operations.
Section 732--Sense of Congress Relating to HIV/AIDS Task Force.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that the State Department 
should create an interagency task force to coordinate 
government agency international activities on HIV/AIDS.
Section 733--Sense of Congress Condemning the Destruction of Statues in 
        Afghanistan.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that condemns the Taliban's 
destruction of the pre-Islamic statues and calls upon the 
Taliban to allow U.N. organizations access to Afghanistan to 
survey the damage and facilitate restoration and preservation 
of remaining statues.
Section 734--Sense of Congress Relating to the Taiwan Strait Issue.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that Taiwan is a democracy 
and it is the policy of the U.S. that a resolution of the 
Taiwan Strait issue must be peaceful and include the assent of 
the people of Taiwan.
Section 735--Sense of Congress Relating to Drinking Water in 
        Bangladesh.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that the Secretary of State 
should work with appropriate U.S. government agencies to 
identify a long term solution to the arsenic-contaminated 
drinking water problem in Bangladesh.
Section 736--Sense of Congress Relating to Display of the American Flag 
        at AIT.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that the American Institute 
in Taiwan should display the American flag.
Section 737--Sense of Congress Regarding Human Rights Violations in 
        West Papua and Aceh.
    Expresses a sense of Congress expressing a deep concern 
over ongoing human rights violations committed by the 
Indonesian military and police forces against civilians in West 
Papua and Aceh, as well as over violence by militias and other 
in Maluku, Central Kalimantan, and elsewhere in Indonesia.
Section 738--Sense of Congress Supporting Properly Conducted Elections 
        in Kosova During 2001.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that the U.N. Mission in 
Kosova should hold properly conducted elections throughout 
Kosova during 2001.
Section 739--Sense of Congress Relating to Policy Review of Relations 
        with the People's Republic of China.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that the President of the 
U.S. and his advisors should be commended for their success in 
negotiating the return of the 24 American crew members of the 
U.S. Navy reconnaissance aircraft that made an emergency 
landing on the Chinese island of Hainan on April 1, 2001 and 
that the U.S. should review its policy with respect to China in 
light of this and other recent events.
Section 740--Sense of Congress Relating to Broadcasting in the 
        Macedonian Language by Radio Free Europe.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that Radio Free Europe should 
broadcast in the Macedonian language to Macedonian-speaking 
areas of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Section 741--Sense of Congress Relating to Magen David Adom Society.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that the International 
Committee of the Red Cross should immediately recognize the 
Magen David Adom Society.
Section 742--Sense of Congress Urging the Return of Portraits Painted 
        by Dina Babbitt.
    Expresses a sense of Congress urging the President and the 
Secretary of State to make all efforts necessary to retrieve 
the seven watercolor portraits painted by Dina Babbitt that are 
held by the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum.
Section 743--Sense of Congress Regarding Vietnamese Refugee Families.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that Vietnamese refugees who 
served substantial sentences in re-education camps on account 
of their wartime associations with the United States should be 
permitted to bring their unmarried sons and daughters when 
resettled in the United States. These family members are the 
subject of the ``McCain Amendment,'' most recently re-enacted 
as section 255 of the Admiral James W. Nance and Meg Donovan 
Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 2000 and 
2001. Unfortunately, this amendment has not yet been fully 
implemented and has been interpreted to exclude certain 
unmarried sons and daughters whose parents were accepted for 
admission to the United States prior to April 1, 1995. The 
Committee believes a further extension and expansion of the 
McCain amendment will be necessary in order to complete the 
important work of reunifying these refugee families.
Section 744--Sense of Congress Relating to Membership of the U.S. in 
        UNESCO.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that the President should 
take all necessary steps to renew the membership of the U.S. in 
the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural 
Organization (UNESCO).
Section 745--Sense of Congress Relating to Global Warming.
    Expresses a sense of Congress that the U.S. should: take 
action to ensure significant and meaningful reductions in 
emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from all 
sectors and continue negotiations to complete the rules and 
guidelines for the Kyoto Protocol in a manner that ensures the 
environmental integrity of the protocol.
    This section makes a series of findings regarding global 
warming which discuss the nature and pace of global climate 
change, the contribution of human activities to global climate 
change and its scientific basis, the impact of global climate 
change on the world economy and environmental situation, the 
provisions of the United Nations Framework on Climate Change, 
and the role of American businesses in responding to global 
climate change and producing more efficient and renewable 
energy sources. The section also expresses the sense of 
Congress that the United States should demonstrate 
international leadership in mitigating the health, 
environmental and economic threats posed by global warming. 
Specifically, the U.S. should (1) take responsible action to 
ensure significant and meaningful reductions in emissions of 
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from all sectors; and 
(2) continue to participate in international negotiations with 
the objective of completing the rules and guidelines for the 
Kyoto Protocol in a manner that is consistent with the 
interests of the United States and that ensures that 
environmental integrity of the protocol.
Section 746--Sense of Congress Regarding the Ban on Sinn Fein Ministers 
        from the North-South Ministerial Council in Northern Ireland.
    Expresses a sense of Congress which calls upon First 
Minister David Trimble to adhere to the terms of the Good 
Friday Agreement and lift the ban on Sinn Fein Ministers from 
participating in the North-South Ministerial Council.

                    Title VIII--SECURITY ASSISTANCE

              Subtitle A--Military and Related Assistance

       Chapter 1--Foreign Military Sales and Related Authorities

Section 811--Quarterly Report on Price and Availability Estimates.
    This section amends chapter 2 of the Arms Export Control 
Act to require quarterly reports to the Congress which provide 
price and availability information on possible arms sales to 
foreign countries. The furnishing of this additional 
information through this report will assist the Committee in 
its statutory role of providing oversight of arms transfers.
Section 812--Official Reception and Representation Expenses.
    This section amends section 43(c) of the Arms Export 
Control Act to increase the annual limit on the amount of funds 
that may be expended for official reception and representation 
expenses under the AECA from $72,500 to $86,500. Reception and 
representational expenses are an important part of successfully 
conducting security assistance programs. Since 1993, the amount 
authorized for these expenses has remained at the same 
ceiling--$72,500. Since 1993, an additional 33 Security 
Assistance Offices have been opened. These new offices are in 
countries where the primary relationship with the U.S. 
government for any aid is through the Foreign Military 
Financing Program, the International Military Education and 
Training Program, or through the transfer of excess defense 
articles.
Section 813--Treatment of Taiwan Relating to Transfers of Defense 
        Articles and Services.
    This section requires that Taiwan shall be treated as the 
equivalent of a major non-NATO ally for the purposes of the 
transfer or potential transfer of defense articles or defense 
services under the Arms Export Control Act, the Foreign 
Assistance Act or any other provision of law.
Section 814--United States Policy with Regard to Taiwan.
    This section requires the President, or his designee, to 
consult at least once each calendar year with representatives 
of the armed forces of Taiwan, at not less than the level of 
Vice Chief of the General Staff, concerning the nature and 
quantity of defense articles and services to be made available 
to Taiwan in accordance with section 3(b) of the Taiwan 
Relations Act. These consultations shall take place in 
Washington, DC. This section also requires the President to 
consult, on a classified basis, with the Congress at least 30 
days prior to his, or his designees', consultations with Taiwan 
regarding the availability of defense articles and services for 
Taiwan. The consultations with Congress shall include the 
following matters: (1) the request by Taiwan to the United 
States for the purchase of defense articles and services; (2) 
the President's assessment of the legitimate defense needs of 
Taiwan taking into account Taiwan's request for defense 
articles and services; and (3) the decision-making process used 
by the President to consider such request.

   Chapter 2--Excess Defense Article and Defense Drawdown Authorities

Section 821--Excess Defense Articles for Certain European and Other 
        Countries.
    This section authorizes that funds of the Department of 
Defense may be expended for the provision of excess defense 
articles under section 516 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
1961 to Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, the Former 
Yugoslavia Republic of Macedonia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, 
Lithuania, Mongolia, the Philippines, Slovakia, and Uzbekistan. 
Most Central and Southern European and Newly Independent States 
countries urgently seek excess defense articles to replace 
former Soviet equipment as both a political statement and as a 
way to enhance interoperability with NATO. In addition, certain 
countries, such as Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, continue to 
require excess defense articles as they build their defense 
forces from very low levels. Unfortunately, most of these 
countries cannot afford packing, crating, handling and 
transportation costs associated with excess defense article 
transfers as they convert to market economies. Without the 
authority of this section, the excess defense article program 
becomes virtually unavailable to these countries.
Section 823--Leases of Defense Articles for Foreign Countries and 
        International Organizations.
    This section modifies section 61(b) of the Arms Export 
Control Act to provide authority to the President to enter into 
leases for defense articles from the stocks of the Department 
of Defense for fixed periods of time longer than years in 
instances where the defense articles require major 
refurbishment work prior to delivery to the lessor foreign 
country or international organization. The intent of this 
section is to allow the recipient of the leased defense article 
to have 5 years of actual use of the leased article. This 
section is necessary because over the past few years several 
NATO allies have sought to use leases of U.S. military fighter 
aircraft, ships and tanks that need major refurbishment as an 
economical and expeditious way to acquire modern defense 
capabilities to meet their defense requirements. Such major 
refurbishment work may take 18 months or more. It is the 
Committee's expectation, however, that no matter how long the 
requirement for such work, the length of the lease is not to 
exceed 5 years once the defense article is put to beneficial 
use by the recipient.
Section 823--Priority with Respect to Transfer of Excess Defense 
        Articles.
    This section amends section 516(c)(2) of the Foreign 
Assistance Act to require that the Philippines, along with 
other eligible countries pursuant to the section, receive 
priority with respect to the delivery of excess defense 
articles.

       Chapter 3--Nonproliferation and Export Control Assistance

Section 831--International Counterproliferation Education and Training.
    This section amends chapter 9 of the Foreign Assistance Act 
to authorize the President to provide education and training to 
foreign governmental and military personnel for the purpose of 
enhancing the nonproliferation and export control capabilities 
of such personnel through their attendance in special courses 
of instruction in the U.S. This section is modeled on the 
authorities under which international military education and 
training is provided. It is the Committee's intention to work 
with the Administration and other interested Committees in the 
Congress as this legislation moves through the legislative 
process to ensure that this authority is complementary to 
programs currently being run by the Departments of Defense and 
Commerce.
Section 832--Annual Report on the Proliferation of Missiles and 
        Essential Components of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical 
        Weapons.
    This section consolidates four existing reporting 
requirements into one annual report on the proliferation of 
missiles and nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.
Section 833--Five-Year International Arms Control and Nonproliferation 
        Strategy.
    This section requires the Secretary of State to prepare and 
submit to the Congress a strategy that outlines a 5-year plan 
for curtailing the international proliferation of nuclear, 
chemical and biological weapons and ballistic missiles along 
with the goals and objectives of U.S. arms control and 
nonproliferation policy, including the specific programs and 
activities the Department of State intends to utilize to 
accomplish such objectives.

       Subtitle B--Strengthening the Munitions Licensing Process

Section 841--License Officer Staffing.
    This section requires that not less than $10,000,000 for 
each of fiscal years 2002 and 2003 be made available for the 
Office of Defense Trade Controls (ODTC) of the Department of 
State for salaries and expenses. Furthermore, this section also 
requires the Secretary of State to assign to ODTC a sufficient 
number of license review officers to ensure that the average 
weekly caseload for each officer does not exceed 40 cases. 
Further this section states that the Secretary of Defense 
should ensure that 10 military officers are continuously 
detailed to ODTC on a nonreimbursable basis.
Section 842--Funding for Database Automation.
    This section requires that not less than $4,000,000 in each 
of fiscal year 2002 and 2003 be made available to ODTC for the 
modernization of information management systems.
Section 843--Information Management Priorities.
    This section requires that not less than $3,000,000 of the 
funds made available for each fiscal year in Sec. 842 shall be 
used to fully automate the Defense Trade Application System in 
order to establish a secure, Internet-based system for the 
filing and review of applications for munitions list items. The 
Committee provides this funding with the expectation that ODTC 
should provide a date certain for establishing such an 
automated system.
Section 844--Improvements to the Automated Export System.
    This section requires the Secretary of Commerce, with the 
concurrence of the Secretary of State and Secretary of 
Treasury, to publish regulations in the Federal Register which 
require mandatory filing through the Automated Export System 
(AES) the remainder of exports that were not covered by 
regulations issued pursuant to section 1252(b) of the Security 
Assistance Act of 1999 (as enacted into law by section 
1000(a)(7) of Public Law 106-113). This section also requires 
the Secretary of State to conclude an information sharing 
arrangement with the United States Custom Service and the 
Census Bureau to adjust the AES to parallel information 
currently collected by the Department of State. Further this 
section amends the appropriate sections of U.S. Code to provide 
for civil and criminal penalties for failure to file export 
information. The Committee understands that the Census Bureau 
requires sufficient funding to implement these requirements and 
accordingly, when the Committee considers the Export 
Administration Act it will provide $6.7 million for fiscal year 
2002 for these purposes. The Committee urges the Secretary of 
Commerce, Secretary of Treasury and the Director of National 
Institute of Standards and Technology to provide the 
certification required under section 1252(c) of the Security 
Assistance Act of 1999 (as enacted into law by section 
1000(a)(7) of Public Law 106-113) in order that regulations may 
be published pursuant to section 1252 to require Shippers' 
Export Declarations to be filed through the AES with respect to 
exports of items on the U.S. Munitions List or the Commerce 
Control List. The Committee urges the Department of Commerce, 
as it works to promulgate those regulations, to prepare such 
regulations to include the requirements of this section, i.e., 
mandatory filing through AES for the remainder of exports.
Section 845--Congressional Notification of Removal of Items from the 
        Munitions List.
    This section requires the President to provide 30 day's 
notice to the Congress pursuant to section 634A(a) of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 of any items proposed to be 
removed from the munitions list. The Defense Trade Security 
Initiative calls for a review of the munitions list every 4 
years. The Committee understands that the Administration is 
currently reviewing a portion of the list to determine if items 
warrant removal from the list. Given past instances of 
notifying the Congress pursuant to current statute when the 
Congress was not in session or otherwise unable to review 
appropriately the proposed list revisions, the Committee 
believes it is warranted to institute this new practice of 
making such proposals subject to reprogramming and hold 
authorities.
Section 846--Congressional Notification Thresholds for Allied 
        Countries.
    This section modifies authorities in the Arms Export 
Control Act by increasing monetary thresholds which trigger 
congressional notifications for arms transfers (retransfers, 
government-to-government, commercial and leases) to countries 
which are members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
(NATO) or Australia, Japan, or New Zealand. The monetary 
thresholds triggering congressional notifications have not been 
modified since 1981 and accordingly, the Committee believes 
these adjustments are warranted.

            Subtitle C--Authority to Transfer Naval Vessels

Section 851--Authority to Transfer Naval Vessels to Certain Foreign 
        Countries.
    This section authorizes the transfer of 14 ships: Brazil (1 
``Newport'' class tank landing ship by sale), Poland (1 
``Oliver Hazard Perry'' class guided missile frigate by grant), 
Taiwan (4 ``Kidd'' class guided missile destroyers by sale), 
and Turkey (2 ``Oliver Hazard Perry'' class guided missile 
frigates by sale and 6 ``Knox'' class frigates by grant). This 
section requires that any expenses incurred with the transfer 
authorized on a grant basis shall be charged to the recipient; 
that, to the maximum extent practicable, repair and 
refurbishment of these ships be performed at U.S. Navy 
shipyards or other shipyards located in the U.S.; and that the 
authority to transfer these ships expires after 2 years.

                  Subtitle D--Miscellaneous Provisions

Section 861--Annual Foreign Military Reports.
    This section modifies section 656(a) of the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961 to require that the Chairman or Ranking 
Member of the International Relations Committee or the Foreign 
Relations Committee must request the annual foreign military 
report (including the list of countries to be covered by such 
report) in order for the report to be compiled.
Section 862--Report Relating to International Arms Sales Code of 
        Conduct.
    This section modifies current law to require that the 
Secretary of State report to the Congress on progress made to 
begin negotiations on establishing an international arms sales 
code of conduct and makes a further technical amendment to that 
law.

                        New Advisory Committees

    H.R. 1646 does not establish or authorize any new advisory 
committees.

                    Congressional Accountability Act

    H.R. 1646 does not apply to the legislative branch.

                            Federal Mandates

    H.R. 1646 provides no Federal mandates.

shall establish compensation (including position

positions in the locality of employment, except that such 
compensation plans shall provide for payment of wages to United 
States citizens at a rate which is no less than the then

direction the Secretary of the Treasury shall invest amounts 
not required for the current needs of the fund; and (II) shall 
be public monies, which are authorized to be appropriated and 
remain available without fiscal year limitation to pay 
benefits, to be invested in public debt obligations bearing 
interest at rates determined by the Secretary of the Treasury 
taking into consideration current average market yields on 
outstanding marketable obligations of the United States of 
comparable maturity, and to pay administrative expenses. For 
United States citizens under a compensation plan, the Secretary 
shall define those allowances and benefits provided under 
United States law which shall be included as part of the total 
compensation package, notwithstanding any other provision of 
law, except that this section shall not be used to override 
United States minimum wage requirements, or any provision of

        area or areas), as follows:
                    (A) * * *
                    (B) The travel expenses of dependents of an 
                employee to and from a school in the United

                that school for less than one year under a 
                program approved by the school in the United 
                States at which the dependent is enrolled, with 
                the allowable travel expense not to exceed the 
                cost of travel to and from the school in the 
                United States) to obtain an American secondary

                of this subparagraph, the term ``educational 
                institution'' has the meaning defined under 
                section 1701(a)(6) of title 38.

analysis of the arms control impact pertinent to such 
application, prepared in consultation with the Secretary of 
Defense. In a case in which such articles or services listed on 
the Missile Technology Control Regime Annex are intended to 
support the design, development, or production of a Category I 
space launch vehicle system (as defined in section 74), such 
report shall include a description of the proposed export and 
rationale for approving such export, including the consistency 
of such export with United States missile nonproliferation 
policy. A certification transmitted pursuant to this subsection 
shall be unclassified, except that the information specified in 
clause (B) and the details of the description specified in 
clause (C) may be classified if the public disclosure thereof 
would be clearly detrimental to the security of the United 
States, in which case the information shall be accompanied by a 
description of the damage to the national security that could 
be expected to result from public disclosure of the 
information.

    (c) Civil Penalty Procedure.--(1) When a civil penalty is 
sought for a violation of this section or of section 304, the 
charged party is entitled to receive a formal complaint 
specifying the charges and, at his or her request, to contest 
the charges in a hearing before an administrative law judge. 
Any such hearing shall be conducted in accordance with sections 
556 and 557 of title 5, United States Code.
    (2) If any person fails to pay a civil penalty imposed 
under this chapter, the Secretary may ask the Attorney General 
to commence a civil action in an appropriate district court of 
the United States to recover the amount imposed (plus interest 
at currently prevailing rates from the date of the final 
order). No such action may be commenced more than 5 years after 
the order imposing the civil penalty becomes final. In such 
action, the validity, amount, and appropriateness of such 
penalty shall not be subject to review.
    (3) The Secretary may remit or mitigate any penalties 
imposed under paragraph (1) if, in his or her opinion--
            (A) the penalties were incurred without willful 
        negligence or fraud; or
            (B) other circumstances exist that justify a 
        remission or mitigation.
    (4) If, pursuant to section 306, the Secretary delegates 
functions under this section to another agency, the provisions 
of law of that agency relating to penalty assessment, remission 
or mitigation of such penalties, collection of such penalties, 
and limitations of actions and compromise of claims, shall 
apply.
    (5) Any amount paid in satisfaction of a civil penalty 
imposed under this section or section 304 shall be deposited 
into the general fund of the Treasury and credited as 
miscellaneous receipts.
    (d) Enforcement.--(1) The Secretary of Commerce may 
designate officers or employees of the Office of Export 
Enforcement to conduct investigations pursuant to this chapter. 
In conducting such investigations, those officers or employees 
may, to the extent necessary or appropriate to the enforcement 
of this chapter, exercise such authorities as are conferred 
upon them by other laws of the United States, subject to 
policies and procedures approved by the Attorney General.
    (2) The Commissioner of Customs may designate officers or 
employees of the Customs Service to enforce the provisions of 
this chapter, or to conduct investigations pursuant to this 
chapter.
    (e) Regulations.--The Secretary of Commerce shall 
promulgate regulations for the implementation and enforcement 
of this section.
    (f) Exemption.--The criminal fines provided for in this 
section are exempt from the provisions of section 3571 of title 
18, United States Code.

 Additional Views on Sections 131-33 (Regarding Foreign Organizations 
                  That Perform and Promote Abortions)

    We strongly support this legislation, which will provide 
the necessary resources and authorities for a strong United 
States foreign policy for the 21st century. However, we 
strongly oppose sections 131-33, which are misnamed the 
``Global Democracy Promotion Act,'' and which were inserted 
into the bill by a close vote at the Committee markup. These 
provisions would sharply restrict the President's authority to 
set reasonable terms and conditions on the distribution of 
United States foreign assistance. They are specifically 
designed to overturn the pro-life ``Mexico City Policy,'' which 
erects a wall of separation between United States family 
planning programs and the international abortion industry.
    In the first place, we observe that general provisions on 
foreign assistance have no place in this legislation. This is a 
foreign relations authorization act, not a foreign aid bill. 
Moreover, even aside from their irrelevance to the subject 
matter of the bill into which it has been inserted, these 
provisions are profoundly objectionable.
    Abortion advocates assert that the Mexico City Policy is a 
``gag rule'' that violates the right to free speech. But even 
if U.S. constitutional provisions applied to foreign 
organizations doing business on foreign soil, the first 
amendment right to free speech would not give these 
organizations a right to receive Federal tax dollars.
    Organizations that represent the United States in foreign 
countries are analogous to our ambassadors. Their advocacy in 
these countries on issues closely related to the U.S. programs 
they administer (as well as their other activities, such as the 
actual performance of abortions) is highly relevant to whether 
they can effectively administer these programs.
    Specifically, among the most important stated purposes of 
U.S. family planning programs overseas is to reduce the number 
of abortions by providing contraception instead. The U.S. has 
no obligation to administer these programs through agents who 
fundamentally disagree with this goal. For the same reasons 
that we would not hire casino lobbyists to run an international 
anti-gambling campaign, or a distillery to run an anti-alcohol 
campaign, it makes no sense to hire abortionists or abortion 
lobbyists to run programs that are aimed at reducing abortions.
    Opponents of the Mexico City Policy also argue that U.S. 
family planning grantees should be allowed to perform and 
promote abortion so long their abortion-related activities were 
carried out with ``their own'' money rather than the U.S. grant 
money. But this is nothing more than a bookkeeping trick. It 
ignores the fact that money is fungible, and that when we 
subsidize an organization we inevitably enrich and empower all 
of its activities. We also enhance the domestic and 
international prestige of the organization by giving it an 
official U.S. seal of approval.
    Proponents of these provisions also claim that the Mexico 
City policy is not just anti-abortion, but also anti-family 
planning. But let us be clear on this: the Mexico City Policy 
does not weaken international family planning programs. It does 
not take a penny away from the $425 million the Administration 
has requested for population assistance around the world. On 
the contrary, it strengthens these programs, by ensuring that 
U.S. funds are directed to those groups that provide family 
planning--which is something entirely distinct from abortion--
but do not perform or promote abortion as a method of birth 
control.
    Finally, the most outrageous claim made by proponents of 
these provisions is that the Mexico City Policy will somehow 
interfere with efforts to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. On the 
contrary, the United States currently spends over a half-
billion dollars per year on fighting AIDS ($482.5 million in 
direct U.S. expenditures in FY 2001, plus many millions more in 
contributions to organizations such as the World Health 
Organization and the United Nations Development Program, which 
conduct their own anti-AIDS programs). The Mexico City Policy 
has absolutely no application to this half-billion dollars. It 
applies only to international population assistance. The 
proponents of the anti-Mexico City Policy provisions contend 
that this population assistance has an incidental effect of 
reducing exposure to the HIV virus, because certain 
contraceptive devices provide some protection from infection. 
Again, however, this argument misses the whole point of the 
Mexico City Policy. The policy does not reduce population 
assistance by one penny. With or without the Mexico City 
Policy, the same amount of money may lawfully be spent on 
contraceptive devices, and the same number of devices 
distributed. The only difference is whether we fund 
abortionists or non-abortionists to distribute them. Throughout 
our government's long experience with implementation of the 
Mexico City Policy (1984 through January 1993, and again in 
fiscal year 2001) there have always been hundreds of highly 
qualified non-governmental organizations around the world 
willing and able to administer U.S. programs. These 
organizations are in the business of family planning, not 
abortion. So the claim that requiring the President to fund 
abortionists is necessary to eradicate AIDS is demonstrably 
false.
    For all these reasons, we intend to offer an amendment 
during floor consideration of this bill that will strike these 
misleading provisions and thereby preserve the President's 
authority to impose reasonable terms and conditions on the 
distribution of United States population assistance. The 
adoption of such an amendment will greatly strengthen the 
legislation.

Additional Views in Opposition to Kyoto Amendment, Section 738 of Title 
                                  VII

    We strongly support H.R. 1646 and the resources and 
authorities to carry out a strong foreign policy of the United 
States. However, we strongly oppose section 738 of title VII 
which was inserted into this legislation by a close vote of the 
Committee on International Relations.
    In the 1970's, the Eighth Annual Report of the Council on 
Environmental Quality stated that the ``Global CO2 problem is 
an issue which must be addressed in terms of its relevance to 
national energy policies.'' That statement is as true today as 
it was then. Yet until this year, no Administration has sought 
to address the issue of global climate change in the context of 
its relevance to U.S. energy policy. Our 43rd President, George 
W. Bush, to his credit, recognized this important connection 
and his Administration is engaged in a two-pronged effort to 
develop a viable energy policy and to seek ways to address 
climate change. We support that approach and look forward to 
the results of that effort later this year.
    For the Congress, climate change is hardly a new issue. In 
1978, Congress enacted the National Climate Program Act, which 
said that our country ``lacks a well-defined and coordinated 
program in climate-related research, monitoring, and assessment 
of effects and information utilization.'' Nearly a decade later 
the Global Climate Protection Act of 1987 was passed that set 
``Goals of United States Policy,'' which included increasing 
``worldwide understanding of the greenhouse effect and its 
environmental and health consequences'' and fostering 
``cooperation among nations to develop more extensive and 
coordinated scientific research efforts with respect to the 
greenhouse effect.'' Under that law, a joint Environmental 
Protection Agency-State Department report was sent in the early 
1990's to Congress that stressed the global nature of climate 
change and greenhouse gas emissions and called for 
``international consensus'' and a ``comprehensive'' approach to 
``addressing potential climate change.''
    Internationally, the United Nations and the World 
Meteorological Organization in 1988 convened a new organization 
called the ``Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change'' 
(IPCC). The IPCC is composed of government representatives, who 
have established working groups composed of scientists, 
engineers, analysts and other experts. They do not do original 
research. Rather, they author 1,000 page and longer assessment 
reports on climate science, impacts and mitigation based on 
published and unpublished literature, not all of which is peer 
reviewed.
    Those reports include a shorter ``Summary for 
Policymakers'' (SPMs) that is really a political document 
negotiated and adopted by government representatives line-by-
line pursuant to IPCC procedures that were revised in 1999 by 
the IPCC, not the scientists. In short, it is the experts that 
``own'' the Assessment Reports and the government 
representatives--many of whom are also negotiating the 
Protocol--and the Chairman of the IPCC who ``own'' the SPMs. 
Also, internationally, the U.S. ratified in 1992 the Framework 
Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), which set forth in Article 
4 an ``aim,'' not a mandate, to stabilize greenhouse gas 
emissions by 2000 in industrialized countries, such as the U.S. 
As we all know, 2000 has come and gone and, except for the U.K. 
and Germany which have special, one-time circumstances, no 
industrialized Party to the Convention could achieve that 
``aim'' by 2000.
    The Constitution gives the Senate both a ``consent'' and 
``advice'' role in treaty matters, although the Executive 
Branch rarely seeks such advice. Nevertheless, in early 1997 
Senators Byrd and Hagel introduced S. Res. 98 with over 60 
bipartisan co-sponsors, remembering that when the Convention 
was before the Senate in 1992, the Administration agreed that 
any further instrument for targets and timetables would have to 
receive advice and consent to ratification from the Senate. The 
resolution forewarned the Administration not to sign an 
agreement that would (1) cause serious harm to the U.S. 
economy, or (2) that did not include all countries that were 
Parties to the Convention.
    Despite the fact that Byrd-Hagel resolution passed the 
Senate in July 1997 by a vote of 95-0, the Clinton 
Administration did not heed that unanimous Senate advice. 
Instead, Vice President Gore went to Kyoto during the third 
U.N. conference and instructed the U.S. delegation to ``show 
increased flexibility.'' Thereafter, in the wee hours of the 
morning of the eleventh day, the Kyoto Protocol was born and 
about a year later it was signed by the Clinton Administration.
    As to the first principle of S. Res. 98, the Protocol 
``scheduled'' commitments to reduce greenhouse gases applies 
only to the U.S. and other developed countries and not as we 
have noted, now or in the future to greenhouse gas emissions of 
developing countries, like Brazil, India, South Korea, and 
China. In the case of the second principle ``do no serious 
economic harm in the U.S.,'' the U.S. delegation agreed to a 
target and schedule for achieving it that will require the U.S. 
to reduce emissions of over 30 percent by 2012 from 1990 
levels, which was a recession year in this country. Worst of 
all, the Convention Parties left all the details on flexibility 
in achieving the target at least cost to future sessions of the 
Parties to negotiate.
    How harmful would this Protocol be? We can look at a very 
current and relevant example. This year and last Americans are 
facing very high oil and gasoline prices, as well as higher 
natural gas and heating oil prices.
    The high gas prices last year caused such a consumer 
outrage that they have led to Federal investigations amid 
congressional inquires. But they are nothing compared to what 
Americans would endure under the Kyoto Protocol.
    The Clinton Administration's own Energy Information Agency 
estimated that implementing the Kyoto Protocol would give us an 
increase in gasoline prices of over 70 cents per gallon. But 
unlike the current price fluctuations, the Kyoto fuel price 
increases would be permanent and would continue to grow.
    High energy prices don't just effect American consumers. 
They would drive many American agricultural producers, 
manufacturing and transportation companies right out of 
business or out of the country.
    Independent economic studies placed the job losses caused 
by the Kyoto Protocol in the millions.
    And for what? The Kyoto Protocol has no hope of achieving 
its stated goal. How can it reduce global greenhouse gas 
emissions when it excludes more than 130 nations? Nations such 
as China, India, Mexico, South Korea--all of whom are already 
among the world's largest producers of man-made greenhouse 
gases.
    Now nearly 4 years later and less than 7 years before the 
start of the first commitment period, only 34 countries have 
ratified the Protocol of which only one, Romania, is a 
developed country. Most importantly, the details still remain 
unresolved.
    They include a package of issues on implementation not only 
of the unfinished Protocol, but also the Convention. Included 
in them is a proposal for an annual $1 billion contribution, 
beginning 2005 by developed nations to a fund for developing 
nations, with the U.S. paying half under an April draft paper 
by the Convention's current President, Jan Pronk of the 
Netherlands. That proposal, to our knowledge, has never been 
considered by the International Relations Committee or other 
Committees of jurisdiction in Congress.
    President Bush has made his intention clear that the U.S. 
will not become a party to the Protocol as it now stands. In a 
March 13 letter to several Senators, he wrote:

        As you know, I oppose the Kyoto Protocol because it 
        exempts 80 percent of the world, including major 
        population centers such as China and India, from 
        compliance, and would cause serious harm to the U.S. 
        economy. The Senate's vote, 95-0, shows that there is a 
        clear consensus that the Kyoto Protocol is an unfair 
        and ineffective means of addressing global climate 
        change concerns.

    At the same time, the President said that he takes the 
climate change issue seriously and is working on how to address 
the issue in a ``better way.''
    We realize, of course, that some of our friends in other 
countries are not happy with the President's position and some 
have suggested that the U.S. should not participate in the 
resumed COP-6 process. However, that process, as we said, 
includes implementation of proposals for money contributions 
under provisions of Article 4 of the Convention, not the 
Protocol. All of the COP and subsidiary body sessions are under 
the Convention. As a Party, the U.S. has a vital interest and a 
vote. It must participate and to the extent that the Menendez 
resolution calls for such participation there is no 
disagreement.
    As we examine the proposed ``Sense of Congress'' subsection 
(b) of section 788, we find nothing in it that is inconsistent 
with the above two principles of S. Res. 98 or with the 
President's letter of March 13 to several Senators. It does not 
expressly support the Protocol or even suggest that the 
President should not oppose it for the reasons he stated.
    As we understand it, subsection (b) is really in two parts. 
The first appears to be aimed at not the Convention or Protocol 
activities, but at what the United States might do domestically 
regarding greenhouse gas emissions in this country, which is 
really not appropriate for a State Department authorization 
bill. It calls for ``responsible action'' regarding such gases, 
without explaining what that ``action'' should be, what it will 
cost, what its impact will have on energy supply and price, how 
or when it will be carried out, who should undertake such 
action, whether it should be voluntary or regulatory, or what, 
if any, benefit it will have from the standpoint of ``global 
climate,'' as that term is defined in the Convention.
    The second merely states that the U.S. ``should'' continue 
to ``participate in international negotiations,'' which, as we 
understand President Bush's recent interview with the 
Washington Post in the Oval Office (see p. A22, Washington Post 
edition of 4/25/01), is what he intends when the sixth session 
of the Conference of the Parties (COP-6) reconvenes in July in 
Germany. He said we should ``work together to come up with a 
better protocol, a better way, and we will.''
    This part of the subsection goes on to say that such 
participation will have an ``objective of ``completing the 
rules and guidelines of the Kyoto Protocol in a manner that is 
consistent with the interests of the United States and that 
ensures the environment integrity of the protocol.'' 
Presumably, the authors are not suggesting that objective is 
the only one involved in the negotiations, because the COP-6 
agenda calls for implementation of the Buenos Aires Plan of 
Action. That FCCC document calls for completion of a 
``package'' of issues involving the Protocol and the Convention 
and all Parties, including the Clinton Administration, want to 
resolve the entire package, not just the Protocol issues.
    As to the ``interests of the United States,'' they are 
encompassed in the two principles of S. Res. 98 and the 
Protocol is not ``consistent'' with either.
    As to the issue of environmental integrity, the Protocol 
has none because, contrary to S. Res. 98, it is not global. The 
developing countries, i.e., China, have no commitments and the 
issue is not even on the agenda for discussion at COP-6.
    This sense of Congress section of H.R. 1646 which, unlike 
S. Res. 98, was adopted by a bare majority of the Committee 
(23-20), is vague, unnecessary and inappropriate. We presume 
that the President will not pay attention to it and he should 
not. Instead, he should follow the course he started and we 
support him. It should not be adopted by the House. 
Accordingly, we intend to offer an amendment during floor 
consideration of this bill that will strike section 738 of 
title VII.

    Additional Views in Opposition to U.S. Efforts to Rejoin UNESCO

    The adoption of the Leach amendment by a vote 23 to 14 
authorizing $60 million in each of the Fiscal Years 2002 and 
2003 for the U.S. to rejoin the United Nations Educational, 
Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is, in our view, 
unwise and unwarranted. In addition to serious funding 
restraints on our ability to rejoin UNESCO, several policies 
and priorities of this organization appear to be at variance 
with our foreign policy objectives.
    While the Director General of UNESCO, Mr. Koichiro 
Matsuura, has instituted a number of policy reforms and 
measures leading to staff reductions and greater 
accountability, he has admitted that our concerns over 
continued bad management are legitimate. There are a number of 
critics who question whether the organization has yet to put in 
place clear objectives or priorities. David Malone, the former 
president of the International Peace Academy in New York and a 
former Canadian Foreign Ministry official in charge of his 
country's relations with international organizations, is 
skeptical about the prospects for reform by the new Director 
General. In his view, Mr. Matsuura faces an uphill battle in 
turning around an organization which is deeply scarred.
    ``The problem of UNESCO is that successive heads have 
turned it into a personal patronage machine, neglecting 
programs and bloating the staffing,'' Mr. Malone said. ``We 
used to all know what the UNESCO objectives were. Now nobody 
knows what UNESCO does beyond the World Heritage sites . . . 
and whoever consults UNESCO on science now?''
    An article from the New York Times from March of last year 
reported that the new Director-General plans to use millions of 
dollars of his organization's funds to help restore colonial 
Havana. It is not at all clear why we should be rejoining an 
organization which is promoting tourism in Cuba and in the 
process helping to provide hard currency to one of the worst 
human rights violators in the world.
    According to an independent audit by the Canadian 
government, UNESCO rarely evaluates the cost effectiveness of 
its programs or sets specific objectives. With an annual budget 
of close to $400 million, its new age program includes 
initiatives such as ``Presenting and Revitalizing our 
Intangible Heritage'' and ``Planet Society, a Worldwide 
Exchange Network for a New Art of Living on Earth.''
    One of the salient arguments from the proponents of this 
amendment appears to be based on the principle that the U.S. 
should be a member of every major organization of the United 
Nations. But why should this be the case? If we really had an 
extra $60-$65 million in additional resources to spend on 
international organizations, why not direct it to organizations 
such as the UNICEF or the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees?
    Finally, the U.S. now gives $2-$3 million annually to 
UNESCO in voluntary contributions to cover projects we believe 
to be worthwhile. If we were to rejoin, we would be obliged to 
fund the good and the bad projects alike.
    We would urge all our colleagues in the House to reconsider 
this decision and to ensure that our contributions to 
international organizations are spent in ways that clearly 
advance our national interests and promote our foreign policy 
objectives.

 Additional Views on Sections 131-133 (The Global Democracy Promotion 
                              Act of 2001)

    We commend the Chairman and my colleagues on the Committee 
for their work on this bill.
    The Global Democracy Promotion Act of 2001 overturns the 
President's January Executive Memorandum reimposing the Mexico 
City Policy or the global gag rule. This memorandum strips 
foreign NGOs that implement U.S. population program overseas of 
their autonomy and their rights to free speech. The President's 
memorandum prohibits foreign NGO's from using their own non-
U.S. monies to offer abortion services in countries where 
abortion is legal, to counsel women regarding all of their 
legal options and provide referrals for those services, or to 
advocate in their own countries for more humane abortion laws. 
If a similar prohibition were applied to U.S. citizens, it 
would be unconstitutional.
U.S. Does Not Fund Abortion
    Let us be clear: U.S. tax payers' dollars do not pay for 
abortion. It is prohibited by law and has been since 1973. We 
find it disturbing that the proponents of the Mexico City 
Policy continue to misstate this fact: The United States does 
not fund abortions overseas nor does it fund abortion-related 
advocacy.
Family Planning Programs Overseas Deserve Our Steadfast Support.
    Promoting democracy and nurturing economic growth are the 
fundamental building blocks of U.S. foreign policy. Key to 
achieving either of those is reducing poverty. And key to 
reducing poverty is working with women to make choices about 
their own physical, emotional, and economic well being, and to 
ensure that women have the option of taking full advantage of 
the political, educational, economic opportunities available to 
them. In short, the key is to enable women to make decisions 
about the course of their own lives and resources.
    Few development programs have made as significant an impact 
on poverty reduction as family planning. Access to voluntary 
and quality family planning changes everything because the 
benefits of family planning programs reach all levels of 
society--the individual, the family, the community, the nation.
    A mother's well being has a direct impact on her children's 
well being. If a mother suffers from ill health, her infant 
will have a difficult start. Every year millions of women and 
children die as a result of births that are too close together, 
too early, or too late in a woman's life. Access to family 
planning can prevent early, high risk pregnancies, avoid 
unintended pregnancies and unsafe pregnancies, allow women to 
space their children, and stop bearing children when they have 
reached their reproductive goals. With access to family 
planning women, their children, and entire families can enjoy 
improved health and take advantage of opportunities to improve 
their overall quality of life.
    In addition, in many developing countries, population 
growth contributes to intensified environmental problems 
including air pollution, water quality and quantity, 
deforestation, the loss of wildlife habitat, and further 
stresses our already finite natural resources. By helping women 
to plan the size of their families, international family 
planning programs advance many vital U.S. foreign policy 
interests: improving the health and status of women, protecting 
the global environment, and promoting sustainable development 
which stabilizes communities in nations.
Reality In the Developing World
    Reproductive health here in the U.S. is hygienic, readily 
available, and taken for granted. In developing countries it is 
more often a matter of life and death. For a woman in some 
developing countries, pregnancy can be a death sentence. Local 
clinics are often the only source of health care available and 
can be several hours walk away. Unfortunately, even today 
services and supplies are often limited at these clinics. The 
reality is that in the developing world, 600,000 women a year 
die due to maternal mortality. Sixty percent of those 
pregnancies are unintended. Many of these deaths are due to 
unsafe abortions.
Prevention Of Abortion
    The memorandum was reissued with the proposed intention of 
prevention abortions, but Gag Rule and other similar 
restrictions do nothing to reduce the incidence of abortion. In 
fact, while the Global Gag Rule was in place in the 1980's and 
early 1990's there is absolutely no evidence that it ever had 
its intended effect of reducing abortion.
    Family planning, not restrictive policies, is the most 
reasonable, economical, and successful means of reducing the 
frequency of abortion anywhere. The Global Gag rule will do 
nothing to make abortions more rare. In fact, it will only make 
abortions less safe.
    When these restrictions were first imposed in the 1980's, 
medical personnel around the world were not informed about what 
services they could provide. Fears of losing desperately needed 
family-planning funds, or simply running awry of the U.S. 
government, led some providers to refuse to treat women with 
severe complications or infection resulting from unsafe 
abortions. While President Bush's statements were clear that 
post abortion care is still permissible, the same fears from a 
decade ago are reappearing. Women's health and lives will again 
be in jeopardy.
Democracy
    The Mexico City policy imposes new restrictions on free 
speech. It denies the right of foreign non-governmental 
organizations to simply talk about abortion, whether it is to 
provide counseling or referral services or to lobby or advocate 
on behalf of abortion rights even when it is legal in that 
country to do so. (Interestingly, President Bush's Mexico City 
Policy does not contain a restriction for organizations that 
lobby against abortion.)
    In effect, the Global Gag Rule makes democracy off limits 
for our foreign partners involved in the provision of family 
planning services by denying them vital resources for family 
planning. Freedom of speech is a cherished right in this 
country, one of the cornerstones of our democracy and is 
enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. It is a fundamental liberty 
which is essential to our identity as Americans.
    We would not stand for someone imposing such restrictions 
on speech in our own country. In fact, a similar law would be 
deemed unconstitutional in the United States if applied to US 
organizations.
    We cannot talk about promotion of democracy and human 
rights as the core values of our nation and the cornerstone of 
our foreign policy on the one hand and undermine these very 
principles with the policies we implement.
A Violation of Medical Ethics
    The Global Gag Rule also interferes in the provider/patient 
relationship by undermining a health care provider's ability to 
provide patients with the full range of reproductive health 
care options available to them. Under the restrictions it is 
only allowed in cases of threats to the life of the woman, 
rape, or incest. And then only if four very specific and 
outrageous conditions are met. This is particularly offensive 
in countries where abortion is permitted more broadly. The US 
government is ensuring that women in developing countries whose 
only access to health care is through USAID funded clinics will 
almost never be able to receive the full information entitled 
to them by their own country laws. This restriction further 
undermines trust between health care providers around the world 
and their clients. For these reasons, a similar policy was 
vigorously opposed--and ultimately defeated--by a unified 
medical professional community led by the American Medical 
Association and American College of Obstetricians-Gynecologists 
in 1991.
HIV/AIDS and Other Infectious Diseases
    Due to lack of adequate infrastructure and lack of access 
to health services in many developing countries, particularly 
in sub-Saharan Africa, family planning clinics often double as 
primary health care facilities and provide multiple services 
including HIV/AIDS education, testing and treatment. For many 
women in developing countries, these clinics serve as the only 
point of contact with the health system. By restricting funds 
to these clinics, the Mexico City Policy also hinders the fight 
against HIV/AIDS.
Global Democracy Promotion Act
    The Global Democracy Promotion Act of 2001, by contrast, 
reflects and promotes what we as Americans broadly support and 
defend here at home as well as abroad. This Act, based on H.R. 
755, introduced by Representative Lowey earlier this year, is 
very simple. It promotes democratic values by getting out of 
the way of the desire and ability of foreign NGOs to use their 
own funds to communicate with their own governments about their 
own laws. It does not penalize them, as the global gag rule 
does, for doing so.
    It also does not disqualify overseas groups from 
eligibility for U.S. family planning aid just because they 
comply with standard medical ethical practice of providing 
pregnant women with full and accurate information about their 
pregnancy options. Further, it does not disqualify them from 
U.S. assistance because they provide legal medical services, 
including abortion services, with their own funds.
    We believe that this is the right approach for 
international family planning, not the misguided Mexico City 
Policy.
