    The rule provides that the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Committee on International 
Relations now printed in the bill modified by the amendments 
recommended by the Committees on Armed Services and Energy and 
Commerce also printed in the bill shall be considered as an 
original bill for the purpose of amendment and shall be 
considered as read. The rule waives all points of order against 
the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
Committee on International Relations modified by the amendments 
recommended by the Committees on Armed Services and Energy and 
Commerce.
    The rule makes in order only those amendments printed in 
this report and en bloc amendments as described in section 2 of 
the resolution. The rule provides that amendments shall be 
considered only in the order specified in this report (except 
as specified in section 3 of the resolution), may be offered 
only by a Member designated in this report, shall be debatable 
for the time specified in this report equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent shall not be 
subject to amendment except as specified in this report, shall 
be considered as read, and shall not be subject to a demand for 
division of the question in the House or in the Committee of 
the Whole.
    The rule waives all points or order against amendments 
printed in this report and against en bloc amendments as 
described in section 2 of the resolution. The rule authorizes 
the chairman of the Committee on International Relations or his 
designee to offer amendments en bloc consisting of amendments 
printed in this report, which shall be considered as read, 
shall be debatable for 20 minutes equally divided and 
controlled between the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on International Relations or their designees, 
and shall not be subject to amendment or demand for a division 
of the question. The rule provides that the original proponent 
of an amendment included in such amendments en bloc may insert 
a statement in the Congressional Record immediately before the 
disposition of the amendments en bloc.
    The rule allows the Chairman of the committee of the whole 
to recognize for the consideration of any amendment printed in 
the report out of the order printed, but not sooner than one 
hour after the chairman of the Committee on International 
Relations or a designee announces from the floor a request to 
that effect.
    Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or

               TITLE II--MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE ASSISTANCE

SEC. 201. FINDINGS; STATEMENT OF POLICY.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) A principal objective of United States foreign 
        assistance programs, as stated in section 101 of the 
        Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, is the ``encouragement 
        and sustained support of the people of developing 
        countries in their efforts to acquire the knowledge and 
        resources essential to development and to build the 
        economic, political, and social institutions which will 
        improve the quality of their lives''.
          (2) The expanding acceptance of free trade and open 
        markets and the spread of democracy and the rule of law 
        have brought a better way of life to an increasing 
        number of people in the world.
          (3) Inequalities between men and women undermine 
        development and poverty-reduction efforts in 
        fundamental ways. A woman's limited access to resources 
        and restrictions on the exercise of her rights, 
        including the right to participate in social and 
        political processes, disables her from maximizing her 
        contribution to her family's health, education, and 
        general well-being.
          (4) On March 14, 2002, the President noted the 
        successes of development assistance programs: ``The 
        advances of free markets and trade and democracy and 
        rule of law have brought prosperity to an ever-widening 
        circle of people in this world. During our lifetime, 
        per capita income in the poorest countries has nearly 
        doubled. Illiteracy has been cut by one-third, giving 
        more children a chance to learn. Infant mortality has 
        been almost halved, giving more children a chance to 
        live.''.
          (5) Development is neither an easy process nor a 
        linear one. There are successes and there are failures. 
        Today, too many people are still living in poverty, 
        disease has eroded many of the economic and social 
        gains of previous decades, and many countries have not 
        adopted policies, for a variety of reasons, that would 
        enable them to compete in an open and equitable 
        international economic system.
          (6) More countries and more people will be able to 
        participate in and benefit from the opportunities 
        afforded by the global economy if the following 
        conditions for sound and sustainable economic 
        development are met:
                  (A) Security.--Security is necessary for 
                economic development. Persistent poverty and 
                oppression can lead to hopelessness, despair, 
                and to failed states that become havens for 
                terrorists.
                  (B) Policies that support broad-based 
                economic growth.--Successful long-term 
                development can only occur through broad-based 
                economic growth that enables the poor to 
                increase their incomes and have access to 
                productive resources and services so that they 
                can lead lives of decency, dignity, and hope.
                  (C) Democracy and the rule of law.--
                Democratic development, political pluralism, 
                and respect for internationally recognized 
                human rights are intrinsically linked to 
                economic and social progress. The ability of 
                people to participate in the economic and 
                political processes affecting their lives is 
                essential to sustained growth. The rule of law 
                and a commitment to fight corruption is also 
                critical to the development of a prosperous 
                society.
                  (D) Investments in people.--Economic growth 
                and democracy can be sustained only if both men 
                and women have the basic tools and capabilities 
                that foster the opportunity for participation 
                in the economic, social, and political life of 
                their countries. Successful development of 
                countries requires citizens who are literate, 
                healthy, and prepared and able to work.
          (7) Economic assistance programs authorized under 
        part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as 
        administered by the United States Agency for 
        International Development and other Federal agencies, 
        are of critical importance in assisting countries to be 
        in a position to maximize the effectiveness of 
        assistance authorized by this title.
          (8) It is in the national interest of the United 
        States to help those countries that are implementing 
        the economic and political reforms necessary for 
        development to occur.
          (9) On March 14, 2002, the President stated that the 
        ``growing divide between wealth and poverty, between 
        opportunity and misery, is both a challenge to our 
        compassion and a source of instability . . . [w]e must 
        confront it . . . [w]e must include every African, 
        every Asian, every Latin American, every Muslim, in an 
        expanding circle of development.''.
          (10) The President has pledged that funds requested 
        for the Millennium Challenge Account shall be in 
        addition to, and not a substitute for, existing 
        development and humanitarian programs.
          (11) Development assistance alone is not sufficient 
        to stimulate economic growth and development. 
        Assistance has been shown to have a positive impact on 
        growth and development in developing countries with 
        sound policies and institutions. If countries have poor 
        policies and institutions, however, it is highly 
        unlikely that assistance will have a net positive 
        effect.
          (12) Economic development, and the achievement of the 
        Millennium Development Goals, must be a shared 
        responsibility between donor and recipient countries.
  (b) Statement of Policy Regarding a New Compact for Global 
Development.--It is, therefore, the policy of the United States 
to support a new compact for global development that--
          (1) increases support by donor countries to those 
        developing countries that are fostering democracy and 
        the rule of law, investing in their people, and 
        promoting economic freedom for all their people;
          (2) recognizes, however, that it is the developing 
        countries themselves that are primarily responsible for 
        the achievement of those goals;
          (3) seeks to coordinate the disparate development 
        assistance policies of donor countries, and to 
        harmonize the trade and finance policies of donor 
        countries with their respective development assistance 
        programs; and
          (4) aims to reduce poverty by significantly 
        increasing the economic growth trajectory of 
        beneficiary countries through investing in the 
        productive potential of the people of such countries.

SEC. 202. AUTHORIZATION OF ASSISTANCE.

  (a) Assistance.--The President, acting through the Chief 
Executive Officer of the Millennium Challenge Corporation, is

                  (B) respect for the rule of law;
                  (C) anti-corruption initiatives and law

                  (G) a free and independent media.
          (2) Fostering investment in education and health 
        infrastructure and systems.--The assistance should 
        foster improved educational opportunities and health 
        conditions, particularly for women and children, 
        including through--
                  (A) support for programs and personnel that 
                promote broad-based primary education, 
                including through the development of academic 
                curricula, by making available textbooks and 
                other educational materials, and through 
                appropriate use of technology;
                  (B) support for programs to strengthen and 
                build institutions, including primary health 
                care systems, infrastructure, facilities, and 
                personnel that provide quality health care;
                  (C) support for improved systems for the 
                delivery of healthy water and sanitation 
                services; and
                  (D) support for programs that reduce child 
                mortality (including those programs that combat 
                HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and other 
                infectious diseases, consistent with sections 
                104(c), 104A, 104B, and 104C of the Foreign

          (3) Promoting economic freedom, broad-based economic

                and financial systems, including by allowing 
                foreign competition in the banking and 
                financial sectors, where appropriate;
                  (B) the development of transparent and 
                efficient commercial codes and reduction in the 
                regulatory burden on business;
                  (C) the protection of property rights, 
                including--
                          (i) private property and intellectual 
                        property rights, including through the 
                        adoption and effective enforcement of 
                        intellectual property treaties or 
                        international agreements; and
                          (ii) the establishment and 
                        maintenance of an efficient and 
                        integrated legal property system that, 
                        among other things, facilitates the 
                        ability of the poor, particularly 
                        women, to convert physical and 
                        intellectual assets into capital, such 
                        as utilizing existing practices and 
                        customs that allow assets to be 
                        documented in a manner that makes the 
                        assets widely transferable, 
                        leveragable, and fungible, that allows 
                        individuals to hold legal title to 
                        their property, and that holds owners 
                        accountable for transactions involving 
                        their property;
                  (D) support for market-based policies that

                ameliorate damage to the environment and 
                respect other environmental standards.

SEC. 309. MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE SEED GRANTS.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Many countries in the developing world lack the 
        academic and public policy advocacy base essential to 
        attaining the principal objectives of the Millennium 
        Challenge Account.
          (2) Because of widespread government repression of 
        free speech and poverty, the countries of Africa in 
        particular suffer an acute shortage of nongovernmental 
        organizations which effectively study and promote the 
        principal objectives of the Millennium Challenge 
        Account.
          (3) Many developing countries, particularly low 
        income countries, lack the institutional capacity to 
        enhance the quality and accuracy of data upon which the 
        eligibility criteria in section 203 relies. Such 
        countries may also lack the ability to monitor and 
        evaluate development projects effectively.
          (4) The Millennium Challenge Account will struggle to 
        reach its goals unless countries in the developing 
        world possess a home grown intellectual commitment and 
        culture of advocacy aimed at promoting its principal 
        objectives.
  (b) Assistance.--The Chief Executive Officer of the 
Corporation is authorized to provide assistance in support of 
nongovernmental organizations (including universities, 
independent foundations, and other organizations) in low income 
and lower middle income countries, and, where appropriate, 
directly to agencies of foreign governments in low income 
countries, that are undertaking research, education, and 
advocacy efforts aimed at promoting democratic societies, human 
rights, the rule of law, improved educational opportunities and 
health conditions, particularly for women and children, and 
economic freedom, including research aimed at improving data 
related to the eligibility criteria and methodology established 
by this division with respect to such a country or monitoring 
and evaluating the impact of assistance provided under this 
division.
  (c) Limitation.--Not more than $10,000,000 of the amount made 
available to carry out this division for a fiscal year may be 
made available to carry out this section.

                agencies, including the Corporation established 
                under title III, to carry out assistance 
                activities abroad, including providing

                implement such assistance.
          (2) The Corporation established under title III 
        should provide assistance to countries that have 
        demonstrated a commitment to bolstering democracy, good 
        governance, and the rule of law, to investing in the 
        health and educations of their people, and to promoting 
        sound economic policies that foster economic 
        opportunity for their people.
          (3) The Department of State should be responsible for 
        allocating security assistance to support key foreign 
        policy objectives of the United States and shall

SEC. 1003. FINDINGS.

  Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) The Peace Corps was established in 1961 to 
        promote world peace and friendship through the service 
        abroad of volunteers who are United States citizens. 
        The spirit of service and commitment to helping others 
        is a fundamental component of democracy.
          (2) Since its establishment, more than 168,000 
        volunteers have served in the Peace Corps in 136 
        countries throughout the world.
          (3) The three goals codified in the Peace Corps Act 
        which have guided the Peace Corps and its volunteers 
        over the years, can work in concert to promote global 
        acceptance of the principles of international peace and 
        nonviolent coexistence among peoples of diverse 
        cultures and systems of government.
          (4) The Peace Corps has sought to fulfill three 
        goals--to help people in developing countries meet 
        basic needs, promote understanding abroad of the values 
        and ideals of the United States, and promote an 
        understanding of other peoples by the people of the 
        United States.
          (5) After more than 40 years of operation, the Peace 
        Corps remains the world's premier international service 
        organization dedicated to promoting grassroots 
        development by working with families and communities to 
        improve health care for children, expand agricultural 
        production, teach in schools, fight infectious 
        diseases, protect the environment, and initiate small 
        business opportunities.
          (6) The Peace Corps remains committed to sending well 
        trained and well supported Peace Corps volunteers 
        overseas to promote international peace, cross-cultural 
        awareness, and mutual understanding between the United 
        States and other countries.
          (7) The Peace Corps is an independent agency, and, 
        therefore, no Peace Corps personnel or volunteers 
        should be used to accomplish any goal other than the 
        goals established by the Peace Corps Act.
          (8) The Crisis Corps has been an effective tool in 
        harnessing the skills and talents of returned Peace 
        Corps volunteers and should be expanded, to the maximum 
        extent practicable, to utilize the talent of returned 
        Peace Corps volunteers.
          (9) In fiscal year 2003, the Peace Corps is operating 
        with an annual budget of $295,000,000 in 70 countries, 
        with more than 7,000 Peace Corps volunteers.
          (10) There is deep misunderstanding and 
        misinformation in many parts of the world, particularly 
        in countries with substantial Muslim populations, with 
        respect to United States values and ideals. A new or 
        expanded Peace Corps presence in such places could 
        foster better understanding between the people of the 
        United States and such countries.
          (11) Congress has declared, and the Peace Corps Act 
        provides, that the Peace Corps shall maintain, to the 
        maximum extent practicable and appropriate, a volunteer 
        corps of at least 10,000 individuals.
          (12) President George W. Bush has called for the 
        doubling of the number of Peace Corps volunteers in 
        service.
          (13) Any expansion of the Peace Corps should not 
        jeopardize the quality of the Peace Corps volunteer 
        experience and, therefore, necessitates, among other 
        things, an appropriate increase in field and 
        headquarters support staff.
          (14) In order to ensure that the proposed expansion 
        of the Peace Corps preserves the integrity of the 
        program and the security of volunteers, the integrated 
        Planning and Budget System supported by the Office of 
        Planning and Policy Analysis should continue its focus 
        on strategic planning.
          (15) A streamlined, bipartisan Peace Corps National 
        Advisory Council composed of distinguished returned 
        Peace Corps volunteers, former Peace Corps staff, and 
        other individuals with diverse backgrounds and 
        expertise can be a source of ideas and suggestions that 
        may be useful to the Director of the Peace Corps as the 
        Director discharges the duties and responsibilities as 
        head of the agency.

        United Nations peacekeeping operation, government 
        authority has been reestablished throughout the country 
        and ``free and fair'' national elections took place in 
        May 2002.
          (3) Sierra Leone is a majority Muslim country.
          (4) The Peace Corps has given the safety and security 
        of its volunteers high priority.

security of its volunteers.

SEC. ____. ASSISTANCE TO TAMIL NADU.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Several United States businesses invested more 
        than $800,000,000 in capital in the Indian State of 
        Tamil Nadu to build and operate state-of-the-art 
        electric generation facilities to serve local 
        customers.
          (2) For nearly 2 years since these power plants went 
        into service, the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board has 
        violated the principle of contract sanctity by 
        consistently refusing to pay the contractually-required 
        price for the electricity produced by these companies.
          (3) The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board now owes these 
        United States companies in excess of $150,000,000 in 
        arrearages despite repeated assurances by the 
        Government of Tamil Nadu that the situation would be 
        resolved.
          (4) All of the projects are in a technical state of 
        default on the principal of their loans and none of the 
        United States companies is making a return on their 
        equity.
  (b) Restriction.--No funds authorized by this Act (including 
any amendments made by this Act) or authorized under any other 
provision of law may be used to directly or indirectly support 
any programs, projects, or activities (other than humanitarian, 
health, or rule of law programs, projects, or activities) 
located in or designed to benefit the State of Tamil Nadu, 
India.

  Page 111, after line 13, insert the following new section 
(and amend the table of contents accordingly):

SEC. 507. CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that the overriding 
national security aspects of the international programs of the 
International Broadcasting Bureau require the assurance of 
uninterrupted logistic support under all circumstances for the 
programs. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the United 
States to provide a preference for United States contractors 
bidding on these projects.
  (b) Preference for United States Contractors.--
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in any case where 
there are two or more qualified bidders on projects of the 
International Broadcasting Bureau, including design and 
construction projects and projects with respect to 
transmitters, antennas, spare parts, and other technical 
equipment, all the responsive bids of United States persons and 
qualified United States joint venture persons shall be 
considered to be reduced by 10 percent.
  (c) Exception.--
          (1) Subsection (b) shall not apply with respect to 
        any project of the International Broadcasting Bureau

                  (A) precluded by the terms of an 
                international agreement with the host foreign 
                country;
                  (B) a foreign bidder can establish that the 
                foreign bidder is a national of a country whose 
                government permits United States contractors 
                and suppliers the opportunity to bid on a 
                competitive and nondiscriminatory basis with 
                its national contractors and suppliers, on 
                procurement and projects related to the 
                construction, modernization, upgrading, or 
                expansion of--
                          (i) its national public radio and 
                        television sector,
                          (ii) its private radio and television 
                        sector, to the extent that such 
                        procurement or project is, in whole or 
                        in part, funded or otherwise under the 
                        control of a government agency or 
                        authority,
                  (C) the Secretary of Commerce certifies (in 
                advance of the award of the contract for that 
                project) to the Board of the International 
                Broadcasting Bureau that the foreign bidder is 
                not receiving any direct subsidy from any 
                government, the effect of which would be to 
                disadvantage the competitive position of United 
                States persons who also bid on the project, or
                  (D) the statutes of a host foreign country 
                prohibit the use of United States contractors 
                on such projects within that country.
          (2) An exception under paragraph (1)(D) shall only 
        become effective with respect to a foreign country 30 
        days after the Secretary of State certifies to the 
        Committee on International Relations and the Committee 
        on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and 
        the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on 
        Appropriations of the Senate what specific actions the

        evaluation system for visa approvals is clearly in the 
        best interests of the United States.
          (2) Many distinguished scholars, professors, 
        researchers, and foreign associates of United States 
        national academies have been prevented by visa delays 
        from entering the United States for engagements at 
        major conferences, meetings, and teaching invitations 
        at American universities.
          (3) Research collaborators for United States 
        laboratories have also been prevented from entering the 
        United States. Their absence halts projects and 
        compromises United States commitments in long-standing 
        international cooperative agreements aimed at reducing 
        stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction.
          (4) Visa restrictions came within one day of forcing 
        the cancellation of an important meeting in Washington, 
        D.C. of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on 
        United States Russian Cooperation on Nuclear Non-
        Proliferation.
          (5) Russian weapons scientists involved in nuclear 
        non-proliferation cooperative efforts with the United 
        States are critical to American efforts to ensure that 
        nuclear weapons-grade materials remain under control 
        and out of the hands of terrorists.
          (6) In a December 2002 statement, the Presidents of 
        the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy 
        of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine found 
        that a United States approach to visas that welcomes 
        qualified foreign scientists, engineers, health 
        professionals, and students serves national goals in 
        three distinct ways:
                  (A) It harnesses international cooperation 
                for counterterrorism.
                  (B) It builds stronger allies through 
                scientific and technical cooperation.
                  (C) It maintains United States global 
                leadership in science and technology.
          (7) The Presidents of the National Academy of 
        Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the 
        Institute of Medicine have found that current United 
        States policy toward granting visas, to foreign 
        scientists is harmful to the United States scientific 
        community and to the longterm well-being of the United 
        States. They stated on December 13, 2002, that ``To 
        make our nation safer, it is extremely important that 
        our visa policy not only keep out foreigners who intend 
        to do us harm, but also facilitate the acceptance of 
        those who bring us considerable benefit. Recent efforts 
        by our government to constrain the flow of 
        international visitors in the name of national security 
        are having serious unintended consequences for American 
        science, engineering, and medicine. The long-term 
        security of the United States depends on admitting 
        scholars who benefit our nation. In short, the United 
        States scientific, engineering, and health communities 
        cannot hope to maintain their present position of 
        international leadership if they become isolated from 
        the rest of the world. We view this as an urgent 
        matter, one that must be promptly addressed if the 
        United States is to meet both its national security and 
        economic development goals.''.
          (8) Currently, consular officials send many visa 
        applications back to the United States for sequential 
        security clearances by several agencies, which may lead 
        to long delays in visa processing. Consular officers 
        are subject to criminal penalties if they grant a visa 
        to a person who subsequently commits a terrorist act in 
        the United States. However, there are currently no 
        incentives for consular officers to facilitate 
        scientific exchanges, which may advance the national 
        interest of the United States.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
that--
          (1) to the extent possible and consistent with 
        national security objectives, the United States should 
        expedite the processing of granting visas to Russian 
        weapons scientists, especially those participating in 
        bilateral weapon disarmament talks, negotiations, and 
        exchanges, to enable them to participate in cooperative 
        nonproliferation activities with their counterparts in 
        the United States, and
          (2) the Department of State is encouraged to consider 
        streamlining the process of granting visas for such 
        scientists as follows:
                  (A) Reinstate a procedure of pre-security 
                clearance for scientists and engineers with the 
                proper credentials.
                  (B) Involve the United States scientific and 
                technical community in determining areas of 
                particular security concern.
                              ----------                              


    15. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Schakowsky of 
          Illinois, or Her Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  Page 78, after line 23, insert the following (and amend the 
table of contents accordingly):

SEC. 724. ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES FOR EMBASSIES AND CONSULATES.

  (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
the Secretary of State should provide such resources, 
personnel, and training at each United States Embassy and 
consulate as are adequate to carry out the duties and 
responsibilities of such posts and to meet the needs of those 
seeking services at such posts. In particular, given Public 
Notice 4393 (Federal Register, July 7, 2003) which restricts 
the number of waivers that can be granted for interviews of 
nonimmigrant visas, the Secretary of State should provide 
sufficient resources, particularly in countries that are allies 
of the United States, to ensure that staff can process visa 
applications, including conducting personal interviews, in a 
manner that is timely, while complying with all the application 
requirements, including security concerns.
  (b) Report to Congress.--Not later than 180 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall 
submit a report concerning the allocation of resources for 
embassies and consulates to the appropriate congressional 
committees.
                              ----------

SEC. 231. ISSUANCE OF CONSULAR IDENTIFICATION CARDS BY FOREIGN 
                    MISSIONS.

  (a) Issuance of Consular Identification Cards.--The Congress 
finds that foreign governments have been issuing consular 
identification cards to foreign nationals in the United States 
for purposes other than those intended by the Vienna Convention 
on Consular Relations (done at Vienna on 24 April 1963).
  (b) Issuance of Consular Identification Cards.--The issuance 
by foreign missions of consular identification cards shall be 
considered a benefit to a foreign mission under section 203(2) 
of the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 and shall 
be regulated by the Secretary in accordance with this section 
and section 204 of that Act.
  (c) Authority to Issue Regulations.--Not later than 180 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
State shall issue regulations consistent with this section with 
respect to the issuance by foreign missions in the United 
States of consular identification cards to foreign nationals 
residing in the United States.
  (d) Content of Regulations.--Regulations referred to in 
subsection (c) shall include the following restrictions and 
requirements:
          (1) Notification to the united states government.--A 
        foreign mission shall notify the Secretary of State of 
        each consular identification card issued within the 
        United States, including the name and current address 
        within the United States of the recipient of a card.
          (2) Issuance to bona fide citizens of the country of 
        origin.--A foreign mission may issue a consular 
        identification card only to a national of the country 
        represented by the foreign mission. Foreign missions 
        shall establish procedures to verify the nationality of 
        card recipients through either national birth registry 
        systems or voter registration identification systems, 
        and bona fide documents such as a passport issued by 
        the country of origin.
          (3) Maintenance of accurate and complete records.--A 
        foreign mission shall maintain at the mission complete 
        and accurate records of all consular identification 
        cards issued and shall maintain an automated record 
        system that contains such records in a manner that can 
        be rapidly accessed to prevent duplicate or fraudulent 
        issuance of such cards.
          (4) Address change notification requirement.--A 
        foreign mission shall require card recipients to notify 
        the foreign mission of any change of address within 30 
        days after such address change.
          (5) Access to audit records.--At the request of the 
        Secretary of State, a foreign mission shall make 
        available for audit and review, by the Secretary or the 
        Inspector General of the Department of State, the 
        records of all consular identification cards issued.
  (e) Failure to Adhere to Regulations.--
          (1) If the Secretary of State determines that a 
        foreign mission has issued consular identification 
        cards in violation of the requirements of regulations 
        related to the issuance of such cards by foreign 
        missions and such violation potentially threatens the 
        security of the United States or facilitates fraudulent 
        or criminal acts, the Secretary of State shall notify 
        the government of the country represented by the 
        foreign mission that the foreign mission must suspend 
        the issuance of consular identification cards until 
        compliance with applicable regulations is established.
          (2) If the foreign mission of a country fails to 
        suspend issuance of consular identification cards in 
        accordance with a notification under paragraph (1), the 
        Secretary of State shall direct consular officials in 
        that country to cease the issuance of immigrant or 
        nonimmigrant visas, or both, to nationals of that 
        country until such time as the Secretary of State 
        determines that the foreign mission of that country is 
        in compliance with the requirements of regulations 
        related to the issuance of such cards by foreign 
        missions.

  At the end of title VII of the bill, add the following new 
section (and conform the table of contents accordingly):

SEC. ____. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO REGARDING SECURITY FOR TAIWAN.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) For over half a century a close relationship has 
        existed between the United States and Taiwan which has 
        been of enormous economic, cultural, and strategic 
        advantage to both countries.
          (2) Taiwan today is a full-fledged democracy with a 
        vibrant economy and a vigorous multi-party political 
        system that respects human rights and the rule of law.
          (3) Taiwan is an ally of the United States, as most 
        recently evidenced by Taiwan's provision of 
        humanitarian and financial assistance to Afghanistan at 
        the request of the United States and its support for 
        Operation Iraqi Freedom.
          (4) The security of the 23 million people in Taiwan 
        is threatened by the deployment by the People's 
        Republic of China of over 400 short-range ballistic 
        missiles targeted at Taiwan, and the purchase by the 
        PRC of advanced weaponry systems, including Su-27 and 
        Su-30 fighter planes, Kilo submarines, and Sovremenny 
        destroyers.
          (5) Taiwan was threatened by missile exercises 
        conducted by the PRC in August 1995 and again in March 
        1996 when Taiwan was conducting its first free and 
        direct presidential elections.
          (6) Section 2(b)(4) of the Taiwan Relations Act (22 
        U.S.C. 3301(b)(4)) considers any effort to determine 
        the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, 
        including by boycotts or embargoes, a threat to the 
        peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of 
        grave concern to the United States.
          (7) Section 2(b)(6) of the Taiwan Relations Act (22 
        U.S.C. 3301(b)(6)) requires the United States to 
        maintain the capacity to resist any resort to force or 
        other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the 
        security, or the social or economic system, of the 
        people on Taiwan.
          (8) In his January 17, 2001, confirmation hearing as 
        Secretary of State, General Colin Powell stated that 
        ``We will stand by Taiwan and will provide for the 
        defense needs of Taiwan in accordance with the Taiwan 
        Relations Act and the subsequent communiques.''.
          (9) President Bush stated on April 24, 2001, that the 
        United States will do whatever it takes to help Taiwan 
        defend itself.
          (10) In his testimony before the International 
        Relations Committee of the House of Representatives and 
        the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate in 
        February and March of 2002, Admiral Dennis Blair of the 
        United States Pacific Command testified that ``China 
        continued to build and exercise its force of short-
        range ballistic missiles ranging Taiwan. It still seeks 
        to develop a range of military options to influence and 
        intimidate Taiwan, and has not abandoned the option of 
        using force to resolve Taiwan's status.''.
          (11) The July 2002 U.S.-China Economic and Security 
        Review Commission report to Congress stated that 
        ``China is enhancing its capability to carry out 
        attacks across the Taiwan Strait with its special 
        operations forces, air forces and navy and missiles 
        forces with little notice,'' and ``the Commission 
        recommends that the U.S. along with its allies should 
        continue to call upon China to renounce the threat of 
        or the use of force against Taiwan.''.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) grave concerns exist concerning the deployment by 
        the People's Republic of China of hundreds of ballistic 
        missiles directed toward Taiwan, which threaten the 
        security and stability in the Taiwan Strait;
          (2) the President should direct all appropriate 
        United States officials to raise these concerns with 
        the appropriate officials from the People's Republic of 
        China, and should seek a public, immediate, and 
        unequivocal renunciation from the leaders of the 
        People's Republic of China of any threat or use of 
        force against Taiwan;
          (3) the President should affirm with the leaders of 
        the People's Republic of China that there will not be a 
        quid pro quo between the dismantling of missiles aimed 
        at Taiwan by the People's Republic of China, and arms 
        sales to Taiwan by the United States;
          (4) China should dismantle the missiles that threaten 
        Taiwan, otherwise the President should authorize the 
        sale of the Aegis system to Taiwan, which would enable 
        Taiwan to defend itself against the threat of a missile 
        attack by China; and
          (5) the future of Taiwan should be determined 
        peacefully and with the express consent of the people 
        of Taiwan.
                              ----------                              


22. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Bereuter of Nebraska, 
               or His Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  Page 211, after line 11, insert the following section (and 
amend the table of contents accordingly):

SEC. 736. SENSE OF CONGRESS IN APPRECIATION OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE 
                    UNITED STATES AND REGARDING RESTORING STABILITY AND 
                    SECURITY IN IRAQ.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) The United States, with the support of forces 
        from Great Britain and other countries, historically 
        and courageously liberated Iraq in three weeks.
          (2) Conditions on the ground in parts of Iraq 
        continue to pose a grave threat to American troops, 
        thereby complicating efforts to restore law and order 
        and essential public services for Iraqis. Such efforts 
        are further complicated by the absence of effective 
        communications with the Iraqi people.
          (3) Ultimately, maintaining law and order in Iraq and 
        preserving its territorial integrity will require the 
        creation of a professionally trained Iraqi police force 
        and a reformed Iraqi military; however, that will take 
        a significant amount of time and in the meantime 
        international armed forces and police must assume these 
        responsibilities.
          (4) Approximately 145,000 United States troops are 
        currently deployed in Iraq, meaning that American 
        troops comprise roughly 90 percent of Coalition forces. 
        If, as the Department of Defense has stated, an 
        additional 10,000 international troops join the 
        Coalition effort in Iraq by September, Americans will 
        still comprise roughly 85 percent of Coalition forces.
          (5) Maintaining the existing force level in Iraq 
        currently requires $3,900,000,000 each month.
          (6) The Department of Defense has stated that it will 
        require one year to train a new Iraqi Army of 12,000 
        soldiers and three years to train 40,000 soldiers.
          (7) The Coalition Provisional Authority has stated 
        that it will require at least one year to recruit and 
        train a police force of 40,000 officers capable of 
        assuming minimal policy functions in Iraq, that it will 
        require five years to recruit and train a full force of 
        75,000 officers, and that at least 5500 additional 
        international police are needed to train, assist, and 
        jointly patrol with the existing Iraqi police force.
          (8) President Bush has noted that ``The rise of Iraq, 
        as an example of moderation and democracy and 
        prosperity, is a massive and long-term undertaking,'' 
        and it is clear that increasing the number of troops 
        and police from countries other than the United States 
        will reduce risks to American soldiers and the 
        financial cost to the United States.
          (9) Secretary Rumsfeld testified that ``We certainly 
        want assistance from NATO and from NATO countries'' and 
        it is clear that involving the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization, as is being done in Afghanistan and has 
        been done in Kosovo and Bosnia, allows the Coalition to 
        maintain a robust military presence while decreasing 
        the exposure and risk to American troops.
          (10) Rebuilding Iraq's neglected infrastructure and 
        economy and administering Iraq--including providing 
        basic services and paying public sector salaries--is 
        likely to require tens of billions of dollars over 
        several years and projected Iraqi oil revenues will be 
        insufficient to meet these costs.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) it is in the national security interests of the 
        United States to remain engaged in Iraq in order to 
        ensure a peaceful, stable, unified Iraq with a 
        representative government;
          (2) the President should consider requesting formally 
        and expeditiously that the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization (NATO) raise a force for deployment in 
        post-war Iraq similar to what it has done in 
        Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo and the Congress urges 
        NATO allies and other nations to provide troops and 
        police to Coalition efforts in Iraq; and
          (3) the President should consider calling on the 
        United Nations to urge its member states to provide 
        military forces and civilian police to promote 
        stability and security in Iraq and resources to help 
        rebuild and administer Iraq.

                    AND THE INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND WATER 
                    COMMISSION, UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
          (1) The failure by the International Boundary and 
        Water Commission, United States and Mexico, to complete 
        negotiations on a new Treaty Minute with Mexico, as

        County.
          (2) The continued flow of Mexican sewage on San 
        Diego, California, beaches has caused extensive and 
        persistent beach closings thereby causing economic 
        hardship to the local economy.
          (3) The International Boundary and Water Commission 
        has shown insignificant progress in negotiations with 
        Mexico.

the United States Section of the International Boundary and

the establishment of a public-private partnership to construct 
and operate a wastewater treatment facility in Mexico as 
outlined in Public Law 106-457 a priority.
  (c) Report to Congress.--The United States Section of the 
International Boundary and Water Commission, United States and 
Mexcio, shall submit monthly reports to the appropriate 
congressional committees concerning progress in negotiations on 
a new Treaty Minute with Mexico.

        (and conform the table of contents accordingly):

                  TITLE XVII--ACCESS FOR AFGHAN WOMEN

SEC. 1701. SHORT TITLE.

  This title may be cited as the ``Access for Afghan Women Act 
of 2003''.

SEC. 1702. FINDINGS.

  Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Despite the removal of the Taliban from power, 
        women in Afghanistan continue to experience brutal and 
        frequent violation of their human rights, generally 
        outside of Kabul where warlords are reexerting control.
          (2) Strong and continued support from the United 
        States and the international community can ensure that 
        the advances made by Afghan women since the fall of the 
        Taliban will continue and grow, rather than recede.
          (3) While the United States and the international 
        community continue to make substantial contributions to 
        emergency humanitarian and relief operations in 
        Afghanistan, the establishment of a stable, peaceful, 
        prosperous, and democratic Afghanistan with a broad-
        based, multi-ethnic, gender-sensitive, and fully 
        representative government requires a significant 
        increase in long-term investments in development and 
        reconstruction assistance.
          (4) The maternal mortality rate in Afghanistan is 
        among the highest in the world, with recent reports 
        estimating that every 30 minutes an Afghan woman dies 
        of pregnancy related causes, or approximately 15,000 
        women every year. The estimated maternal mortality rate 
        of 1,600 deaths per 100,000 live births can be 
        significantly reduced through access to primary health 
        care services, including safe birthing supplies, 
        emergency obstetric care, prenatal and postnatal care, 
        contraception, and prevention and treatment for the 
        effects of sexual coercion and rape.
          (5) Women comprise 75 percent or more of the refugees 
        and internally displaced in camps, urban areas, and 
        villages in Afghanistan.
          (6) 85 percent of Afghanistan's population lives in 
        rural areas. The women in rural areas perform vital 
        roles in food production, processing, and preparation. 
        Successful reconstruction and development assistance 
        must target rural women as part of any agricultural 
        interventions.
          (7) Within Afghanistan and outside of Afghanistan, 
        local women's organizations are delivering critical 
        services and have the knowledge and experience to 
        assist the United States in delivering effective relief 
        aid.
          (8) The Afghan Ministry for Women's Affairs is an 
        important ministry that is essential for re-
        establishing women's human rights, ensuring that women 
        are included in all development efforts, and delivering 
        critical legal, health, education, and economic 
        services to women throughout Afghanistan's 30 
        provinces.
          (9) Afghan women are taking the initiative to reach 
        across the conflict divide and foster peace. Women's 
        perspectives and experiences in seeking solutions to 
        conflicts are necessary to ensure lasting peace.
          (10) The inadequate security situation in Afghanistan 
        disproportionately impacts women and girls as the lack 
        of rule of law results in the frequent assault, 
        kidnapping, and sexual abuse of Afghan women and girls 
        throughout Afghanistan.
          (11) Despite significant improvements in healthcare 
        and education infrastructure for women and girls in 
        Afghanistan, the lack of security and rule of law 
        throughout most of Afghanistan effectively denies 
        access to these facilities and the critical services 
        they provide.

SEC. 1703. ESTABLISHMENT OF AFGHAN WOMEN'S FUND.

  (a) Establishment.--The Administrator of the United States

        (hereafter in this section referred to as the

        Ministry as the Government of Afghanistan continues its 
        transition to a long-term government structure and to 
        enable the Ministry to fulfill its mandate. The 
        Ministry may use such assistance to support activities 
        such as the following:
                  (A) Multiyear women-centered economic 
                development programs, including programs to 
                assist widows, female heads of household, women

                  (B) Collaboration with the Ministry of Health

                primary, maternal, child, reproductive, and 
                mental health care.
                  (C) Programs to prevent trafficking in

SEC. 1704. ASSISTANCE TO AFGHANISTAN.

  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, not less than 15 
percent of the aggregate amount of economic and humanitarian 
assistance authorized to be appropriated under section 1703(c) 
to be made available to Afghanistan for each of the fiscal 
years 2003, 2004, and 2005 shall be made available for 
assistance directly to Afghan-led local nongovernmental 
organizations, including Afghan women-led organizations, with 
demonstrated experience in delivering services to Afghan women 
and children to support their programmatic activities and 
organizational development. In recognition of the appreciating 
capacity of Afghan-led local nongovernmental organizations, 
including Afghan women-led organizations, an appropriate 
percentage of the aggregate amount of economic and humanitarian 
assistance authorized to be made available to Afghanistan for 
fiscal year 2006 and each subsequent fiscal year shall be made 
available for assistance directly to Afghan-led local 
nongovernmental organizations, including Afghan women-led 
organizations.

SEC. ____. STATEMENT OF POLICY RELATING TO DEMOCRACY IN IRAN.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Iran is neither free nor democratic. Men and 
        women are not treated equally in Iran, women are 
        legally deprived of internationally recognized human 
        rights, and religious freedom is not respected under 
        the laws of Iran. Undemocratic institutions, such as 
        the Guardians Council, thwart the decisions of elected 
        leaders.
          (2) The April 2003 report of the Department of State 
        states that Iran remained the most active state sponsor 
        of terrorism in 2002.
          (3) That report also states that Iran continues to 
        provide funding, safe-haven, training and weapons to 
        known terrorist groups, notably Hizballah, HAMAS, the 
        Palestine Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the 
        Liberation of Palestine.
  (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States that--
          (1) currently, there is not a free and fully 
        democratic government in Iran;
          (2) the United States supports transparent, full 
        democracy in Iran;
          (3) the United States supports the rights of the 
        Iranian people to choose their system of government; 
        and
          (4) the United States condemns the brutal treatment, 
        imprisonment and torture of Iranian civilians 
        expressing political dissent.

        the President determines that the provision to the

SEC. ____. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE EXTRADITION OF VIOLENT 
                    CRIMINALS FROM MEXICO TO THE UNITED STATES.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
          (1) The Mexican Supreme Court ruled in October 2001 
        that Mexico will not extradite criminals who face life 
        sentences in the United States.
          (2) Due to this ruling, the United States has been 
        unable to prosecute numerous suspects wanted for 
        violent crimes that they committed in the United States 
        if there is a possibility that these criminals will 
        face life imprisonment.
          (3) The person or persons responsible for the April 
        29, 2002, murder of Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputy 
        David March is believed to have fled to Mexico to avoid 
        prosecution for a possible life imprisonment.
          (4) The attorneys general from all 50 States have 
        asked United States Attorney General John Ashcroft and 
        Secretary of State Colin Powell to continue to address 
        this extradition issue with their counterparts in 
        Mexico.
          (5) The Governments of the United States and Mexico 
        have experienced positive cooperation on numerous 
        matters relevant to their bilateral relationship.
          (6) The Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs has been 
        demonstrating to the Mexican Supreme Court the 
        international ramifications of the Court's October 2001 
        ruling.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
United States Government should encourage the Mexican 
Government to work closely with the Mexican Supreme Court to 
persuade the Court to reconsider its October 2001 ruling so 
that the possibility of life imprisonment will not have an 
effect on the timely extradition of criminal suspects from 
Mexico to the United States.

38. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Dreier of California, 
               or His Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  Strike section 731 (page 199, line 22 through page 204, line 
10) and insert the following:

SEC. 731. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING MIGRATION ISSUES BETWEEN THE 
                    UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
          (1) During President Bush's first meeting with 
        President Fox in Guanajuato, Mexico, the Presidents 
        stated in the Joint Communique of February 16, 2001 
        that ``we are instructing our Governments to engage, at 
        the earliest opportunity, in formal high level 
        negotiations aimed at achieving short and long-term 
        agreements that will allow us to constructively address 
        migration and labor issues between our two 
        countries.''.
          (2) During President Fox's official visit to 
        Washington, D.C., the Joint Statement of September 6, 
        2001, summarized the meeting as follows: ``The 
        Presidents reviewed the progress made by our joint 
        working group on migration chaired by Secretaries 
        Powell, CastaZeda, and Creel and Attorney General 
        Ashcroft and noted this represented the most fruitful 
        and frank dialogue we have ever had on a subject so 
        important to both nations. They praised implementation 
        of the border safety initiative, and recognized that 
        migration-related issues are deeply felt by our publics 
        and vital to our prosperity, well-being, and the kind 
        of societies we want to build. They renewed their 
        commitment to forging new and realistic approaches to 
        migration to ensure it is safe, orderly, legal and 
        dignified, and agreed on the framework within which 
        this ongoing effort is based. This includes: matching 
        willing workers with willing employers; serving the 
        social and economic needs of both countries; respecting 
        the human dignity of all migrants, regardless of their 
        status; recognizing the contribution migrants make to 
        enriching both societies; shared responsibility for 
        ensuring migration takes place through safe and legal 
        channels. Both stressed their commitment to continue 
        our discussions, instructing the high-level working 
        group to reach mutually satisfactory results on border 
        safety, a temporary worker program and the status of 
        undocumented Mexicans in the United States. They 
        requested that the working group provide them proposals 
        with respect to these issues as soon as possible. The 
        Presidents recognized that this is an extraordinarily 
        challenging area of public policy, and that it is 
        critical to address the issue in a timely manner and 
        with appropriate thoroughness and depth.''.
          (3) On September 7, 2001, during President Fox's 
        historic State Visit to Washington, the United States 
        and Mexico issued a joint statement instructing our 
        cabinet-level working group to provide us with specific 
        proposals to forge a new and realistic framework that 
        will ensure a safe, legal, orderly, and dignified 
        migration flow between our countries. We have today 
        agreed that our Cabinet level migration group should 
        continue the work we charged it with in Guanajuato and 
        Washington.
          (4) When the Presidents met in Monterrey, Mexico, the 
        Presidents stated in a Joint Statement on March 22, 
        2002, as follows: ``Slightly more than one year ago, in 
        Guanajuato, we talked about migration as one of the 
        major ties that join our societies. We launched then 
        the frankest and most productive dialogue our countries 
        have ever had on this important and challenging 
        subject. Those talks have continued over the past year, 
        and have yielded a clearer assessment of the scope and 
        nature of this issue. This bond between our nations can 
        render countless benefits to our respective economies 
        and families.
          (5) Over the past year, important progress has been 
        made to enhance migrant safety and particularly in 
        saving lives by discouraging and reducing illegal 
        crossings in dangerous terrain.
          (6) At the conclusion of the Mexico-United States 
        Binational Commission (BNC) meeting in Mexico City in 
        November 2002, Secretary of State Powell's press 
        conference was summarized by the State Department as 
        follows: The BNC's migration working group ``affirmed 
        our strong commitment to advancing our bilateral 
        migration agenda,'' he stressed, adding that ``there 
        should be no doubt in anyone's mind that this is a 
        priority for President Bush, just as it is a priority 
        for [Mexican] President [Vicente] Fox.''
          (7) Secretary Powell said no schedule had been 
        established for a migration accord, but he confirmed 
        that the United States and Mexico want to come up with 
        a series of migration initiatives over the course of 
        the next six months to a year.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
that--
          (1) that the United States and Mexico should as soon 
        as is practicable commence negotiations in an attempt 
        to reach a migration accord that is as comprehensive as 
        possible and which addresses the key issues of concern 
        for both nations; and
          (2) that as part of any migration agreement between 
        the United States and Mexico, the issues of the 
        extradition of violent criminals and law enforcement 
        cooperation between the two nations be addressed.
                              ----------
