  This supplemental report shows the cost estimate of the 
Congressional Budget Office and changes in existing law made by

               Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate

                                                     June 11, 2003.
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. 1950, the Foreign 
Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 2004 and 2005.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contacts are Sunita 
D'Monte and Joseph C. Whitehill.
            Sincerely,
                                       Douglas Holtz-Eakin,
                                                          Director.
    Enclosure.

H.R. 1950--Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 2004 and 
        2005

    Summary: CBO estimates that H.R. 1950 would authorize 
appropriations of $32.2 billion for the Department of State and 
related agencies, and for various security and economic 
assistance programs. Implementing the bill would result in 
additional discretionary spending of $30.5 billion over the 
2004-2008 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized 
amounts, CBO estimates. The bill also contains several 
provisions that would affect direct spending and revenues. CBO 
estimates that enacting those provisions would increase direct 
spending by $25 million over the 2006-2008 period and have an 
insignificant effect on revenues.
    H.R. 1950 also would affect trade in defense articles and 
services. It would give the President authority to control 
transfers within the United States of defense articles and 
defense services to foreign persons. It would lower the 
standard for violation of arms-export regulations and increase 
certain fines for violations of export controls. In addition, 
the bill would call for stringent control and scrutiny of the 
export of missile technology and would authorize the President 
to sanction any foreign governmental entity that the President 
determines has facilitated violations of export controls of 
missile equipment or technology. CBO estimates the trade-
related provisions would not significantly affect federal 
spending.
    H.R. 1950 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) 
and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal 
governments.
    Estimated cost to the Federal Government: The estimated 
budgetary impact of H.R. 1950 is shown in Table 1. For this 
estimate, CBO assumes that the authorized amounts will be 
appropriated by the start of each fiscal year and that outlays 
will follow historical spending patterns for existing programs, 
except as otherwise described. The costs of this legislation 
fall within budget functions 050 (national defense), 150 
(international affairs), 300 (natural resources and 
environment), and 800 (general government).

Basis of estimate

    H.R. 1950 would provide a comprehensive two-year 
authorization of appropriations for the State Department and 
related agencies and it would authorize appropriations for 
various security and economic assistance programs. In addition, 
the bill contains several provisions that would affect direct 
spending and revenues.

            Spending subject to appropriation

    CBO estimates that Divisions A and B of H.R. 1950 would 
authorize appropriations of about $32 billion for the 
Department of State and related agencies and for various 
security and economic assistance programs. CBO estimates that 
implementing the bill would result in additional discretionary 
spending of $30.5 billion over the 2004-2008 period, assuming 
appropriation of the authorized amounts.
    Division A--Department of State Authorization Act, Fiscal 
Years 2004 and 2005. CBO estimates that Division A would 
authorize appropriations of about $9.3 billion in 2004, $10.7 
billion in 2005, and $0.1 billion a year over the 2006-2008 
period for the Department of State and related agencies (see 
Table 2). It would specifically authorize appropriations of 
$9.3 billion in 2004, $10.1 billion in 2005, and some small 
amounts over the 2006-2008 period. In addition to the costs 
covered by the specified authorizations, the division contains 
provisions primarily dealing with international peacekeeping, 
public diplomacy, and personnel, that CBO estimates would 
require additional appropriations of almost $0.9 billion over 
the 2004-2008 period to implement. CBO estimates that 
implementing this division would cost almost $19.5 billion over 
the 2004-2008 period, assuming appropriation of the specified 
and estimated amounts.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The 2003 level is the amount appropriated for that year and includes appropriations provided in Public Law
  108-11, the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003.
\2\ Public Law 106-113, an act making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2000,
  and for other purposes, authorized appropriations of $900 million for Embassy Security, Construction, and
  Maintenance in 2004.

    International Peacekeeping. Section 113 would authorize the 
appropriation of $550 million in 2004 and such sums as may be 
necessary in 2005 for contributions to international 
peacekeeping activities. Based on information from the 
Department of State and adjusting for inflation, CBO estimates 
that the department would require $560 million in 2005.
    Middle East Broadcasting Network. Section 501 would 
authorize annual grants for a Mideast Radio and Television 
Network to provide radio and television broadcasts to the 
Middle East region. Under current law, Radio Sawa provides 
radio programming to the Middle East at an annual cost of about 
$10 million. The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) plans to 
add a satellite television network that would provide news, 
entertainment, and information programs to complement this 
radio programming. Public Law 108-11, the Emergency Wartime 
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003, provided $26 million in 
2003 for start-up costs of the network. The bill provides an 
authorization of appropriations of $47 million in each of 2004 
and 2005 only. Based on information from the BBG, CBO estimates 
that operating costs for this television network would be $37 
million a year over the 2004-2008 period, and the costs for 
Radio Sawa would continue at about $10 million a year.
    Exchange Programs. Section 251 would establish new 
educational and cultural exchange programs and expand existing 
ones in countries with predominantly Muslim populations. 
Section 112 would authorize the appropriation of $35 million a 
year for this purpose in 2004 and 2005. CBO estimates that 
continuing these programs would cost an additional $112 million 
over the 2006-2008 period.
    Promotion of Free Media. Section 607 would establish an 
International Free Media Fund within the department to promote 
the development of free and independent media all over the 
world. The bill would authorize appropriations of $15 million 
in 2004 for this purpose. Section 608 would require the BBG to 
support free media, especially in countries where it is 
reducing or discontinuing international broadcasting, and would 
authorize appropriations of $2.5 million each year in 2004 and 
2005 for this purpose.
    Hardship and Danger Pay Allowances. Section 307 would 
increase the cap on hardship and danger pay allowances from 25 
percent to 35 percent of basic pay for State Department 
employees serving overseas. Based on information from the 
Department of State, CBO estimates implementing this section 
would cost $8 million to $9 million annually over the 2004-2008 
period.
    Office of Global Internet Freedom. Section 524 would 
authorize the BBG to establish an Office of Global Internet 
Freedom to prevent foreign governments from censoring or 
jamming the Internet and persecuting their citizens who use the 
Internet. The bill would specifically authorize appropriations 
of $8 million a year in 2004 and 2005 to establish and operate 
this office. CBO estimates implementing this section would cost 
$8 million to $9 million annually over the 2004-2008 period.
    Indefinite Authorizations for Currency Fluctuations. 
Section 113(c) would authorize the appropriation of such sums 
as may be necessary in 2004 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 (OMB). 
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.
    Colin Powell Center for American Diplomacy. Section 230 
would authorize the Secretary of State to establish the Colin 
Powell Center for American Diplomacy at the Harry S. Truman 
Building in Washington, DC. According to the Department of 
State, it would establish the center through a partnership with 
the nonprofit Foreign Affairs Museum Council (FAMC). The 
department would provide the space, staff, and security for the 
center, while FAMC would provide funding from private sources. 
A feasibility study is currently underway, and the department 
was unable to provide details that would allow CBO to estimate 
the operating costs of the center.
    Reimbursement Rate for Airlift Services. Section 224 would 
reduce by about half the reimbursement rate paid by the 
Department of State to the Department of Defense (DoD) for 
transporting armored vehicles by air. Over the 2000-2002 
period, the department reimbursed DoD an average of $2 million 
a year. Based on this information, CBO estimates that 
implementing this section would save the department $1 million 
a year.
    Reporting Requirements. Division A includes several 
provisions that would expand or introduce new reporting 
requirements. Combined, these provisions would raise spending 
subject to appropriation by about $2 million annually, but each 
provision would likely cost less than $500,000 a year.
    Miscellaneous Provisions. CBO estimates that the following 
sections of Division A would have an insignificant impact on 
spending subject to appropriation:
     Section 206 would authorize a demonstration 
program in library sciences to help foreign governments improve 
literacy and public education in their countries by 
establishing or upgrading public library systems.
     Section 301 would authorize an exchange program 
for the assignment of civil and foreign service employees to 
fellowship positions in foreign governments, and the reciprocal 
assignment of foreign government employees as fellows in the 
department.
     Section 302 would clarify the department's 
authority to settle claims of back pay and other administrative 
claims and grievances.
     Section 310 would give the department greater 
flexibility in awarding meritorious step increases in salaries.
     Section 504 would authorize the BBG to conduct a 
pilot program to promote travel and tourism by broadcasting 
information on regions of the United States that rely on 
tourism.
     Subtitle C of title V would transfer all functions 
and assets of BBG and the International Broadcasting Bureau to 
a new independent agency named the International Broadcasting 
Agency.
    Division B--Defense Trade and Security Assistance Reform 
Act of 2003. Division B would tighten regulation of trade in 
defense and dual-use articles and technologies and authorize 
funding for various security assistance programs (see Table 3). 
Unlike Division A, which provides a comprehensive two-year 
authorization of appropriations of foreign relations 
authorizations, this division would authorize funding for 
various programs, projects, and activities through specific and 
indefinite authorizations of appropriation or through earmarks 
of funds not authorized elsewhere in the bill. For this 
estimate, CBO treats these earmarks as authorizations of 
appropriations since there are no amounts authorized for the 
programs in general. CBO estimates that implementing Division B 
would cost $3.6 billion in 2004 and $11.1 billion over the 
2004-2008 period, assuming the appropriation of the necessary 
amounts.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The 2003 level is the amount appropriated for that year and includes appropriations provided in Public Law
  108-11, the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003.

    Security Assistance and Related Provisions. Title XIII 
would authorize the appropriation of $4.4 billion for foreign 
military financing and $91.7 million for international military 
education and training in 2004.
    Sections 1321 and 1322 would authorize foreign military 
financing and Economic Support Fund appropriations for Israel 
and Egypt through 2005. The sections would specify formulas 
that would continue through 2005 the gradual reduction of 
economic assistance to those two countries and the increase in 
foreign military financing for Israel begun in 1999. For 
Israel, section 1321 would authorize foreign military financing 
of $2.160 billion in 2004 and $2.220 billion in 2005, and 
Economic Support Fund appropriations of $480 million in 2004 
and $360 million in 2005. For Egypt, section 1322 would 
authorize foreign military financing for Egypt of $1.3 billion 
in both 2004 and 2005 and Economic Support Fund appropriations 
of $575 million in 2004 and $535 million in 2005.
    Section 1337 would authorize the appropriation of $60 
million a year for the nonproliferation fund in 2004 and 2005 
and $25 million a year in 2004 and 2005 to secure highly 
enriched uranium in the states of the former Soviet Union.
    Missile Threat Reduction Assistance. Title XIV would 
authorize the appropriation of $250 million for assistance to 
countries that agree to destroy their ballistic missiles and 
their facilities for producing those missiles. Under the bill, 
the President would determine the terms and conditions for 
providing the assistance which could be economic or military in 
character. For this estimate, CBO assumes the funds would be 
appropriated at the rate of $50 million a year over the 2004-
2008 period, consistent with report language accompanying the 
bill, and the rate of spending would be comparable to that for 
the Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction.
    Belarus. Title XVI would authorize the appropriation of 
such sums as may be necessary in 2004 and 2005 for assistance 
and radio broadcasting to promote the development of democracy 
and civil society in Belarus. The assistance could be used to 
develop democratic parties, nongovernmental organizations, an 
independent broadcasting and print media, or to observe 
elections. Based on information from the State Department, CBO 
estimates that funding for such assistance in Belarus would 
continue at the 2003 level of $10 million each year. Based on 
information from the BBG, CBO further estimates that funding 
for international broadcasting to Belarus would double to $3 
million a year, for an increase of $1.5 million each year over 
the amount authorized in Division A of the bill.
    Israeli-Palestinian Peace Enhancement Act. Title XVII would 
express the sense of the Congress with respect to U.S. 
recognition of a Palestinian state and express a willingness to 
provide substantial economic and humanitarian assistance to 
such a state. It would authorize the appropriation of such sums 
as may be necessary to promote the economic and civil 
development of a Palestinian state. However, the President must 
certify a binding peace agreement between Israel and the 
Palestinians has been achieved under a set of conditions before 
any assistance may be provided to a Palestinian state. The 
President may waive the certification and the restrictions 
would not apply to humanitarian or development assistance 
provided to nongovernmental organizations for the benefit of 
the Palestinian people. CBO estimates that implementing title 
XVII would cost $0.8 billion over the 2004-2008 period, 
assuming the appropriation of the necessary amounts. The 
estimate assumes that funding in 2004 would continue at the 
2003 rate and would increase to over $0.3 billion a year over 
the 2006-2008 period.
    It is difficult to estimate the cost of implementing title 
XVII because of the uncertainty over when or whether Israel and 
the Palestinians may reach an agreement recognizing a two-state 
solution to peace in the Middle East region. Under the roadmap 
to a permanent two-state solution, as outlined by the State 
Department on April 30, 2003, the goal would be a permanent 
status agreement in 2005. CBO estimates that substantially 
increased funding for the Palestinian people could begin by 
that year.
    Neither the bill nor the Committee report accompanying the 
bill provide much guidance for interpreting the intent of the 
phrase ``substantial economic and humanitarian assistance.'' 
For the purpose of the estimate, CBO assumes that funding in 
2004 for West Bank/Gaza in the Economic Support Fund would 
continue at the $75 million funding level appropriated for 2003 
and triple to $225 million in 2005. For the 2006-2008 period, 
we assume that the funding for a Palestinian state would be 
increased by the $95 million that the United States has in the 
past contributed for assistance to the Palestinian people 
through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for 
Palestinian Refuges. That increase would raise funding to $320 
million a year. In the past, breakthrough agreements such as 
the Camp David accords and peace with Jordan have been followed 
by bilateral assistance appropriations of billions or many 
hundreds of millions of dollars. Funding after a true peace 
agreement between Israel and the Palestinians could be much 
higher than CBO estimates. Without an agreement, funding would 
be much lower.
    Miscellaneous Provisions. Title XVIII contains a number of 
provisions that would authorize appropriations for various 
economic and security assistance programs. They include:
     Section 1803 would authorize $2 million a year in 
2004 and 2005 for a cooperative development program with 
Israel.
     Section 1806 would authorize $25 million a year in 
2004 and 2005 for economic assistance for East Timor.
     Section 1807 would authorize $15 million a year in 
2004 and 2005 for grants to individuals and groups supporting 
democracy building efforts in Cuba.
     Section 1809 would authorize $18.6 million a year 
in 2004 and 2005 for a Congo Basin forest partnership program.
     Section 1810 would authorize $10 million for 
programs to provide equipment and training to law enforcement 
officials, prosecutors, and judges in foreign countries in 
interpreting intellectual property laws and in complying with 
obligations under various international copyright and 
intellectual property treaties and agreements.
     Section 1811 would authorize assistance to law 
enforcement agencies in India and Ireland in 2004 and 2005. 
Based on information from the State Department, CBO estimates 
that implementing the provision would cost $3 million each 
year, assuming the appropriation of the necessary funds.
     Section 1812 would authorize $24 million in 2004 
and such sums as may be necessary in 2005 for the human rights 
and democracy fund administered by the Department of State. CBO 
estimates funding in 2005 would continue at the level specified 
for 2004.
     Section 1815 would authorize the appropriation of 
$1 million in 2004 and such sums as may be necessary in 2005 
for a grant to the African Society for programs in Africa. CBO 
estimates funding in 2005 would continue at the level specified 
for 2004.

            Direct spending and revenues

    CBO estimates that several provisions in the bill would 
increase direct spending or have an insignificant effect on 
receipts.
    Transfer of Defense Articles in the U.S. War Reserve 
Stockpile for Allies (USWRSA). Section 1342 would extend for 
five years the President's authority to transfer to Israel 
obsolete or surplus defense articles in the USWRSA in Israel in 
return for concessions to be negotiated by the Secretary of 
Defense. The concessions may include cash, services, waiver of 
charges otherwise payable by the United States, or other items 
of value. Since articles may be transferred by sale under 
current law, CBO estimates that the authority provided by the 
section could be used to negotiate noncash concessions thereby 
lowering offsetting receipts to the DoD.
    According to DoD, much of the materiel in the USWRSA in 
Israel was used in the recent Iraq conflict and the department 
is conducting a new inventory to determine what stocks remain. 
DoD also indicates that the existing authority has not been 
used for Israel in the past, though similar authority has been 
used for the stockpile in Korea. Given the current status of 
the USWRSA in Israel, CBO estimates the authority would not be 
used in 2004 and probably not in 2005. If the authority 
provided in section 1342 were used to the same extent as that 
for the stockpile in Korea, CBO estimates forgone receipts 
would total between $5 million and $10 million a year over the 
2006-2008 period.
    Cost-Sharing for New Diplomatic Facilities. Section 227 
would allow the Department of State, beginning in 2005, to 
charge a fee to every federal agency that has a presence at any 
U.S. diplomatic facility to help fund the construction of new 
diplomatic facilities. The amount of the fee charged would be 
determined by a formula that takes into account the number of 
employees assigned to each diplomatic mission. Based on 
information from OMB and the Department of State, CBO estimates 
that construction of new diplomatic facilities could cost about 
$1 billion a year over the next several years and that roughly 
40 percent ofthese costs would be born by federal agencies 
other than the Department of State. Because the collection and spending 
of the fees would not be subject to the annual appropriation process, 
this provision would affect direct spending. CBO estimates that 
collections from the new fee would offset spending on construction, and 
that this proposal would not significantly increase or decrease federal 
spending as a whole, but would merely shift costs from the Department 
of State to other federal agencies. Ultimately, all such federal costs 
are and still would be subject to appropriation of the necessary 
amounts. (That is, the only direct spending effects relate to the 
intragovernmental transfers and their use by the Department of State.)
    Colin Powell Center for American Diplomacy. Section 230 
would authorize the Secretary to provide museum visitor and 
educational outreach services at the center and to sell, trade, 
or transfer documents and articles that are displayed at the 
center. Any proceeds generated from these services or sales 
would be retained and spent by the center. CBO estimates that 
this provision would have an insignificant net effect on direct 
spending.
    Arms Export Controls. Provisions in titles XI and XII would 
revise licensing requirements for the export of certain defense 
articles and technology and would lower the standard and 
increase fines for violations of export controls. CBO estimates 
implementing the provisions would have an insignificant effect 
on receipts and direct spending.
    Intergovernmental and private-sector impact: H.R. 1950 
contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as 
defined in UMRA and would impose no costs on state, local, or 
tribal governments.
    Previous CBO estimates: On April 24, 2003, CBO transmitted 
a cost estimate for S. 925, the Foreign Relations Authorization 
Act, Fiscal Year 2004, as ordered reported by the Senate 
Committee on Foreign Relations on April 9, 2003. Several 
sections in Division A of H.R. 1950 are similar or identical to 
sections of S. 925 and would have similar costs. (The Senate 
bill would authorize appropriations only for 2004, whereas H.R. 
1950 would authorize appropriations for 2004 and 2005).
    On June 9, 2003, CBO transmitted an estimate for S. 1161, 
the Foreign Assistance Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2004, as 
reported by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on May 
29, 2003. Several sections in Division B of H.R. 1950 are 
similar or identical to sections of S. 1161 and would have 
similar costs; however, the Senate bill would provide a more 
comprehensive authorization of appropriations for economic and 
security assistance programs in 2004.
    Estimate prepared by: Federal Costs: State Department--
Sunita D'Monte and Security Assistance and Foreign Aid--Joseph 
C. Whitehill, Impact on State, Local, and Tribal Governments: 
Victoria Heid Hall, and Impact on the Private Sector: Paige 
Piper/Bach.
    Estimate approved by: Peter H. Fontaine, Deputy Assistant 
Director for Budget Analysis.

of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor and with the 
assistance of the Ambassador at Large for International 
Religious Freedom, with respect to practices regarding the 
observance of and respect for internationally recognized human 
rights in each country proposed as a recipient of security 
assistance. Wherever applicable, such report shall include 
consolidated information regarding the commission of war 
crimes, crimes against humanity, and evidence of acts that may

population control, including coerced abortion and involuntary 
sterilization. Such report shall also include, wherever 
applicable, information on violations of religious freedom, 
including particularly severe violations of religious freedom 
(as defined in section 3 of the International Religious Freedom 
Act of 1998). Such report shall also include, for each country 
with respect to which the report indicates that extrajudicial 
killings, torture, or other serious violations of human rights

States has taken or will take action to encourage an end to 
such practices in the country. Each report under this section 
shall list the votes of each member of the United Nations 
Commission on Human Rights on all country-specific and thematic 
resolutions voted on at the Commission's annual session during

paramilitaries, or other armed groups, the participation of 
such individuals in such groups, and the nature and extent that 
such individuals take a direct part in hostilities, (ii) what 
steps, if any, taken by the government of the country to 
eliminate such practices, and (iii) such other information 
related to the use by such government of individuals under the 
age of 18 as soldiers, as determined to be appropriate by the 
Secretary of State. Each report under this section shall also 
include wherever applicable, in a separate section with a 
separate heading, a description of (i) the nature and extent of 
(I) propaganda in government and government-controlled media 
and other sources, including government-produced educational 
materials and textbooks, that attempt to justify or promote 
racial hatred or incite acts of violence against any race, and 
(II) complicity or involvement in the creation of such 
propaganda or incitement of acts of violence against any race 
or people, and (ii) a description of the actions, if any, taken 
by the government of the country to eliminate such propaganda 
or incitement. In determining whether a government falls within 
the provisions of subsection (a)(3) and in the preparation of 
any report or statement required under this section,

diplomacy an integral component in the planning and execution 
of United States foreign policy. The Department of State, in 
coordination with the United States International Broadcasting 
Agency, shall develop a comprehensive strategy for the use of 
public diplomacy resources and assume a prominent role in 
coordinating the efforts of all Federal agencies involved in 
public diplomacy. Public diplomacy efforts shall be addressed 
to developed and developing countries, to select and general 
audiences, and shall utilize all available media to ensure that 
the foreign policy of the United States is properly explained 
and understood not only by the governments of countries but 
also by their peoples, with the objective of enhancing support 
for United States foreign policy. The Secretary shall ensure 
that the public diplomacy strategy of the United States is 
cohesive and coherent and shall aggressively and through the 
most effective mechanisms counter misinformation and propaganda 
concerning the United States. The Secretary shall endeavor to 
articulate the importance in American foreign policy of the 
guiding principles and doctrines of the United States, 
particularly freedom and democracy. The Secretary, in 
coordination with the Board of Governors of the United States 
International Broadcasting Agency, shall develop and articulate 
long-term measurable objectives for United States public 
diplomacy. The Secretary is authorized to produce and 
distribute public diplomacy programming for distribution abroad 
in order to achieve public diplomacy objectives, including 
through satellite communication, the Internet, and other 
established and emerging communications technologies.
  (b) Information Concerning United States Assistance.--

        with the United States Agency for International 
        Development (USAID) and other public and private 
        assistance organizations and agencies, the Secretary 
        shall ensure that information concerning foreign 
        assistance provided by the United States Government, 
        United States nongovernmental organizations and private 
        entities, and the American people is disseminated 
        widely and prominently, particularly, to the extent 
        practicable, within countries and regions that receive 
        such assistance. The Secretary shall ensure that, to 
        the extent practicable, projects funded by the United 
        States Agency for International Development (USAID) 
        that do not involve commodities, including projects 
        implemented by private voluntary organizations, are 
        identified as being supported by the United States of 
        America, as American Aid or provided by the American 
        people.
          (2) Report to congress.--Not later than 120 days 
        after the end of each fiscal year, the Secretary shall

        Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate on efforts 
        to disseminate information concerning assistance 
        described in paragraph (1) during the preceding fiscal 
        year. Each such report shall include specific 
        information concerning all instances in which the 
        United States Agency for International Development has 
        not identified projects in the manner prescribed in 
        paragraph (1) because such identification was not 
        practicable. Any such report shall be submitted in 
        unclassified form, but may include a classified 
        appendix.
  (c) Authority.-- Subject to the availability of 
appropriations, the Secretary may contract with and compensate 
government and private agencies or persons for property and

          (4) the High Contracting Parties to the Geneva 
        Conventions of August 12, 1949, should adopt the

        accord international recognition to an additional 
        distinctive emblem; and
          [(4)] (5) the (United States should continue to press

representation. Except as otherwise provided, each member of 
the National Commission shall be appointed to a term of 3 
years. As designated by the Secretary of State at the time of 
appointment, of the members first appointed one-third shall be 
appointed for a term of 1 year, one-third shall be appointed 
for a term of 2 years, and one-third shall be appointed for a 
term of 3 years. Any member appointed to fill a vacancy 
occurring before the expiration of the term for which the 
member's predecessor was appointed shall be appointed only for 
the remainder of that term. A member may serve after the 
expiration of that member's term until a successor has taken 
office. No member may serve more than 2 consecutive terms. The 
Secretary of State shall designate a chair of the National 
Commission.

State may detail any of the personnel of the Department of 
State to the National Commission to assist it in carrying out

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

  (c)(1) Subject to paragraph (5), in the case of an 
application by a person (other than with regard to a sale under 
section 21 or section 22 of this Act) for a license for the 
export of any major defense equipment sold under a contract in 
the amount of $14,000,000 or more or of defense articles or 
defense services sold under a contract in the amount of 
$50,000,000 or more (or, in the case of a defense article that 
is a firearm controlled under category I of the United States 
Munitions List, $1,000,000 or more, or, notwithstanding section 
27(g) of this Act, for any special comprehensive authorization 
under sections 120-130 of title 22, Code of Federal Regulations 
(commonly known as the ``International Traffic in Arms 
Regulations'') for the export of defense articles or defense 
services in an aggregate amount of $100,000,000 or more), 
before issuing such license the President shall transmit to the 
Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the chairman of 
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate an 
unclassified numbered certification with respect to such 
application specifying (A) the foreign country or international 
organization to which such export will be made, (B) the dollar 
amount of the items to be exported, and (C) a description of 
the items to be exported. Each such numbered certification 
shall also contain an item indicating whether any offset 
agreement is proposed to be entered into in connection with 
such export and a description of any such offset agreement. In 
addition, the President shall, upon the request of such 
committee or the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
Representatives, transmit promptly to both such committees a 
statement setting forth, to the extent specified in such 
request a description of the capabilities of the items to be 
exported, an estimate of the total number of United States 
personnel expected to be needed in the foreign country 
concerned in connection with the items to be exported and an 
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.
  (2) Unless the President states in his certification that an 
emergency exists which requires the proposed export in the 
national security interests of the United States, a license for 
export described in paragraph (1)--
          (A) * * *
          [(B) in the case of a license for an export of a 
        commercial communications satellite for launch from, 
        and by nationals of, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, 
        or Kazakhstan, shall not be issued until at least 15 
        calendar days after the Congress receives such 
        certification, and shall not be issued then if the 
        Congress, within that 15-day period, enacts a joint 
        resolution prohibiting the proposed export; and]
          [(C)] (B) in the case of any other license, shall not 
        be issued until at least 30 calendar days after the 
        Congress receives such certification, and shall not be 
        issued then if the Congress, within that 30-day period, 
        enacts a joint resolution prohibiting the proposed 
        export.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

  (5) In the case of an application by a person (other than 
with regard to a sale under section 21 or 22 of this Act) for a 
license for the export to a member country of the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or Australia, Japan, or New 
Zealand that does not authorize a new sales territory that 
includes any country other than such countries, the limitations 
on the issuance of the license set forth in paragraph (1) or 
paragraph (2) shall apply only if the license is for export 
of--
          (A) * * *

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

  (6) In the case of a commercial technical assistance or 
manufacturing license agreement with a member country of the 
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or Australia, Japan, 
or New Zealand that does not authorize a new sales territory 
that includes any country other than such countries, the 
requirements contained in paragraphs (2) and (4) shall apply 
only if--
          (A) the agreement involves--
                  (i) major defense equipment in the amount of 
                $7,000,000 or more; or
                  (ii) significant military equipment in the 
                amount of $25,000,000 or more; and
          (B) the amount referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of 
        subparagraph (A), as the case may be, includes the 
        estimated value of all defense articles and defense 
        services to be manufactured or transferred throughout 
        the duration of the approval period.

  Sec. 38. Control of Arms Exports and Imports.--(a)(1) In 
furtherance of world peace and the security and foreign policy 
of the United States, the President is authorized to control 
the import and the export of defense articles and defense 
services, or the transfer of such articles, other than firearms 
(or ammunition, components, parts, accessories, or attachments 
for firearms), and services within the United States to foreign 
persons, and to provide foreign policy guidance to persons of 
the United States involved in the export and import of such 
articles and services. The President is authorized to designate 
those items which shall be considered as defense articles and 
defense services for the purposes of this section and to 
promulgate regulations for the import and export of such 
articles and services. The items so designated shall constitute 
the United States Munitions List.
  (b)(1)(A) * * *
  (B) A copy of each registration made under this paragraph 
shall be transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury and the 
Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for review 
regarding law enforcement concerns. The Secretary and the 
Director shall report to the President regarding such concerns 
as necessary.
  [(B)] (C) The prohibition under such regulations required by 
the second sentence of subparagraph (A) shall not extend to any 
military firearms (or ammunition, components, parts, 
accessories, and attachments for such firearms) of United 
States manufacture furnished to any foreign government by the 
United States under this Act or any other foreign assistance or 
sales program of the United States if--
          (i) * * *

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

  (2) Except as otherwise specifically provided in regulations 
issued under subsection (a)(1), no defense articles or defense 
services designated by the President under subsection (a)(1) 
may be exported or imported without a license for such export 
or import, issued in accordance with this Act and regulations 
issued under this Act, except that no license shall be required 
for exports or imports made by or for an agency of the United 
States Government (A) for official use by a department or 
agency of the United States Government, or (B) for carrying out 
any foreign assistance or sales program authorized by law and 
subject to the control of the President by other means. In 
promulgating regulations under subsection (a)(1) in accordance 
with the preceding sentence, any provision in such regulations 
that permits the export of defense articles or defense services 
without a license shall include a determination by the Attorney 
General, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland 
Security and the Director of the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation, that the compilation and maintenance of 
sufficient documentation relating to the export without a 
license of the articles or services is ensured, notwithstanding 
the absence of a license, to facilitate law enforcement efforts 
to detect, prevent, and prosecute criminal violations of any 
provision of this section, section 39, or section 40 of this 
Act, including the efforts on the part of countries and 
factions engaged in international terrorism to illicitly 
acquire defense articles and defense services. No defense 
article or defense service designated by the President under 
subsection (a)(1) may be exported without a license pursuant to 
a regulation under subsection (a)(1) that is promulgated on or 
after January 1, 2003, until 30 days after the date on which 
the President provides notice of the proposed regulation to the 
Committee on International Relations of the House of 
Representatives and to the Committee on Foreign Relations of 
the Senate in accordance with the procedures applicable to 
reprogramming notifications under section 634A(a) of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, including a description of the 
criteria that would be used to permit the export of the article 
or service and any measures to facilitate law enforcement 
efforts associated with the Attorney General's determination 
required by the preceding sentence.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

  (c) Any person who [willfully] knowingly violates any 
provision of [this section or section 39] this section, section 
39, or section 40, or any rule or regulation issued under 
either section, or who [willfully] knowingly, in a registration 
or license application or required report, makes any untrue 
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact 
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the 
statements therein not misleading, shall upon conviction be 
fined for each violation not more than [$1,000,000] $1,000,000 
(in the case of a violation of this section or section 39), 
$2,000,000 (in the case of a violation involving any country 
covered by section 40), and $1,500,000 (in the case of a 
violation involving any country other than a country covered by 
section 40 that is subject by United States law or policy to an 
arms embargo), or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

  (e) In carrying out functions under this section with respect 
to the export of defense articles and defense services, the 
President is authorized to exercise the same powers concerning 
violations and enforcement which are conferred upon 
departments, agencies and officials by subsections (c), (d), 
(e), and (g) of section 11 of the Export Administration Act of 
1979, and by subsections (a) and (c) of section 12 of such Act, 
subject to the same terms and conditions as are applicable to 
such powers under such Act, except that section 11(c)(2)(B) of 
such Act shall not apply, and instead, as prescribed in 
regulations issued under this section, the Secretary of State 
may assess civil penalties for violations of this Act and 
regulations prescribed thereunder and further may commence a 
civil action to recover such civil penalties, and except 
further that the names of the countries and the types and 
quantities of defense articles for which licenses are issued 
under this section shall not be withheld from public disclosure 
unless the President determines that the release of such 
information would be contrary to the national interest, and 
except further, that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and 
the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection of the Department 
of Homeland Security shall have concurrent jurisdiction for 
criminal violations and enforcement of this Act. Nothing in 
this subsection shall be construed as authorizing the 
withholding of information from the Congress. Notwithstanding 
section 11(c) of the Export Administration Act of 1979, the 
civil penalty for each violation involving controls imposed on 
the export of defense articles and defense services [under this 
section may not exceed $500,000] n 11(c) of the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, the civil penalty for each 
violation involving controls imposed on the export of defense 
articles and defense services [under this section may not 
exceed $500,000] or any other activities subject to control 
under this section, section 39, or section 40, may not exceed 
$500,000 for each violation of section 38 or section 39, 
$1,000,000 for each violation involving any country covered by 
section 40, and $750,000 for each violation relating to an arms 
embargo (other than a violation covered by section 40).

  (4) In the absence of a binding bilateral agreement with the 
Government of Australia or the Government of the United Kingdom 
(as the case may be) that meets the requirements of paragraph 
(2) and subsection (j), the Secretary of State shall ensure 
that any application submitted under this section for the 
export of defense items to Australia or the United Kingdom (as 
the case may be) that meets all other requirements of this 
section (including requirements relating to eligibility of 
parties to the transaction, the absence of risk of diversion to 
unauthorized end use and end users, and preservation of United 
States intelligence and law enforcement interests), and which 
are also transactions involving defense items that would be 
exempt pursuant to sections 120-130 of title 22, Code of 
Federal Regulations (commonly known as the ``International 
Traffic in Arms Regulations'') from export licensing or other 
written approvals if such items were items to be exported to 
Canada, are processed by the Department of State not later than 
ten days after the date of receipt of the application without 
referral to any other Federal department or agency, except on 
an extraordinary basis upon receipt of a written request from 
the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the 
Director of Central Intelligence, or the Secretary of Defense.
