at the end the following:

``SEC. 1505. PROMOTION OF POLICY GOALS.

    ``(a) The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the 
United States Executive Director at each multilateral 
development bank to inform each such bank and the executive 
directors of each such bank of the policy of the United States 
as set out in this section and to actively promote this policy 
and the goals set forth in section 1504 of this Act. It is the 
policy of the United States that each bank should--
            ``(1) require the bank's employees, officers and 
        consultants to make an annual disclosure of their 
        financial interests and income and of any other 
        potential source of conflict of interest;
            ``(2) link project and program design and results 
        to management and staff performance appraisals, 
        salaries, and bonuses;
            ``(3) implement voluntary disclosure programs for 
        firms and individuals participating in projects 
        financed by such bank;
            ``(4) ensure that all loan, credit, guarantee, and 
        grant documents and other agreements with borrowers 
        include provisions for the financial resources and 
        conditionality necessary to ensure that a person or 
        country that obtains financial support from a bank 
        complies with applicable bank policies and national and 
        international laws in carrying out the terms and 
        conditions of such documents and agreements, including 
        bank policies and national and international laws 
        pertaining to the comprehensive assessment and 
        transparency of the activities related to access to 
        information, public health, safety, and environmental 
        protection;
            ``(5) implement clear anti-corruption procedures 
        setting forth the circumstances under which a person 
        will be barred from receiving a loan, contract, grant, 
        guarantee or credit from such bank, make such 
        procedures available to the public, and make the 
        identity of such person available to the public;
            ``(6) coordinate policies across multilateral 
        development banks on issues including debarment, cross-
        debarment, procurement guidelines, consultant 
        guidelines, and fiduciary standards so that a person 
        that is debarred by one such bank is subject to a 
        rebuttable presumption of ineligibility to conduct 
        business with any other such bank during the specific 
        ineligibility period;
            ``(7) require each bank borrower and grantee and 
        each bidder, supplier and contractor for MDB projects 
        to comply with the highest standard of ethics 
        prohibiting coercive, collusive, corrupt and fraudulent 
        practices, such as are defined in the World Bank's 
        Procurement Guidelines of May, 2004;
            ``(8) maintain a functionally independent 
        Investigations Office, Auditor General Office and 
        Evaluation Office that are free from interference in 
        determining the scope of investigations (including 
        forensic audits), internal auditing (including 
        assessments of management controls for meeting 
        operational objectives and complying with bank 
        policies), performing work and communicating results, 
        and that regularly report to such bank's board of 
        directors and, as appropriate and in a manner 
        consistent with such functional independence of the 
        Investigations Office and the Auditor General Office, 
        to the bank's President;
            ``(9) require that each candidate for adjustment or 
        budget support loans demonstrate transparent budgetary 
        and procurement processes including budget publication 
        and public scrutiny prior to loan or grant approval;
            ``(10) require that for each project where 
        compensation is to be provided to persons adversely 
        affected by the project, such persons have recourse to 
        an impartial and responsive mechanism to receive and 
        resolve complaints. The mechanism should be easily 
        accessible to all segments of the affected community 
        without impeding access to other judicial or 
        administrative remedies and without retribution;
            ``(11) implement best practices in domestic laws 
        and international conventions against corruption for 
        whistleblower and witness disclosures and protections 
        against retaliation for internal and lawful public 
        disclosures by the bank's employees and others affected 
        by such bank's operations who challenge illegality or 
        other misconduct that could threaten the bank's 
        mission, including (1) best practices for legal burdens 
        of proof, (2) access to independent adjudicative 
        bodies, including external arbitration based on 
        consensus selection and shared costs, and (3) results 
        that eliminate the effects of proven retaliation; and
            ``(12) require, to the maximum extent possible, 
        that all draft country strategies are issued for public 
        consideration no less than 45 days before the country 
        strategy is considered by the multilateral development 
        bank board of directors.
    ``(b) The Secretary of the Treasury shall, beginning thirty 
days after the enactment of this Act and within sixty calendar 
days of the meeting of the respective bank's Board of Directors 
at which such decisions are made, publish on the Department of 
the Treasury website a statement or explanation of the United 
States position on decisions related to (1) operational 
policies; and (2) any proposal which would result or be likely 
to result in a significant effect on the environment.
    ``(c) In this section the term `multilateral development 
bank' has the meaning given that term in section 1307 of the 
International Financial Institutions Act (22 U.S.C. 262m-7) and 
also includes the European Bank for Reconstruction and 
Development and the Global Environment Facility.''.

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

      The committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of 
the two Houses on the amendments of the Senate to the bill 
(H.R. 3057), ``making appropriations for foreign operations, 
export financing, and related programs for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 2006, and for other purposes'', submits 
the following joint statement to the House and the Senate in 
explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the 
conferees and recommended in the accompanying conference 
report.
      The conference agreement incorporates some of the 
provisions of both the House and Senate versions of the bill. 
The statement of the managers remains silent on provisions that 
were in both the House bill and Senate bill that remain 
substantially unchanged by the conference agreement.
      The language set forth in House Report 109-152 and Senate 
Report 109-96 should be complied with unless specifically 
addressed in the accompanying bill and statement of the 
managers to the contrary. The statement of the managers, while 
repeating some report language for emphasis or clarification, 
does not intend to negate the language in either the House or 
Senate reports unless expressly addressed herein.

      Once again, the conferees include a significant increase 
to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria. This funding 
is appropriated in several accounts and is summarized in the 
chart below. Narratives for the specific diseases are under the 
headings ``Child Survival and Health Programs Fund'' and 
``Global HIV/AIDS Initiative''.
      The conferees include a total of $2,820,000,000 for HIV/
AIDS, TB, and malaria, $268,000,000 over the President's 
request and $629,000,000 over the fiscal year 2005 level. This 
figure does not include significant funding anticipated to be 
appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services or 
the United States share of HIV/AIDS assistance through the 
World Bank Group.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The contribution to the Global Fund has been allocated among the
  diseases in proportion to the Global Fund's grant portfolio.

      The conference agreement makes available $450,000,000 for 
the United States contribution to the Global Fund to Fight 
AIDS, TB and Malaria (Global Fund), $250,000,000 from the 
``Child Survival and Health Programs Fund'' and $200,000,000 
from the ``Global HIV/AIDS Initiative'' account. The disease 
amounts for ``Child Survival and Health Programs Fund'' and 
``Global HIV/AIDS Initiative'' in the table above include the 
amount of the Global Fund contribution from those accounts 
estimated to be dedicated to those diseases, using Global Fund 
grant trend data.
      The fiscal year 2006 budget request for these accounts 
included $200,000,000 for a United States contribution to the 
Global Fund: $100,000,000 from the ``Global HIV/AIDS 
Initiative'' account and $100,000,000 from the ``Child Survival 
and Health Programs Fund'' account. The President requested an 
additional $100,000,000 from the accounts which appropriate 
funding for the Department of Health and Human Services.

                     BUDGET JUSTIFICATION MATERIALS

      The conferees agree with the direction of the Senate with 
respect to submission of a report on a proposal to improve 
budget justification material submitted with the fiscal year 
2007 budget request. The conferees agree that the State 
Department should submit proposals as recommended by the Senate 
to the Committees on Appropriations no later than December 15, 
2005.

               TITLE I--EXPORT AND INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE

                Export-Import Bank of the United States

      The conference agreement includes a first-time 
appropriation of $1,000,000 for an Office of Inspector General. 
The conferees expect the position of Inspector General to be 
filled as expeditiously as possible.
      The conference agreement provides $100,000,000 for the 
subsidy appropriation. The conferees expect that there will be 
no reduction in Export-Import Bank activity levels due to the 
extraordinarily high level of carryover balances in fiscal year 
2006, which totals approximately $320,000,000.
      The conference agreement provides $73,200,000 for 
administrative expenses.
      The conferees agree the Export-Import Bank should act 
promptly on all requests for assistance from United States 
exporters that meet the Bank's criteria for credit worthiness, 
export additionality, foreign competition and net benefit to 
the United States economy. The conferees do not require from 
the Bank an explanation for rejections of requests for 
assistance from any specific United States industry. The 
conferees direct the Export-Import Bank to report by March 31, 
2006 on all applications received in fiscal year 2005 and a 
summary of actions undertaken by the Bank with regard to such 
applications.

                Overseas Private Investment Corporation

      The conferees direct the President of the Overseas 
Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) to continue current 
policy and consult with the Committees on Appropriations before 
any future financing for non-governmental organizations or 
private and voluntary organizations is approved.

                      Trade and Development Agency

      The conference agreement provides $50,900,000 for the 
Trade and Development Agency (TDA).
      The conferees provide $1,500,000 for TDA to conduct an 
international aviation security and safety program to enhance 
the capabilities of foreign civil aviation authorities. The 
conferees believe this program will have the most impact if a 
substantial portion is implemented through a cooperative 
agreement between TDA and a non-profit aviation organization 
with relevant experience in development and training programs 
that assist countries in meeting their obligations for 
international aviation security and safety standards.

                TITLE II--BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

           United States Agency for International Development

                Child Survival and Health Programs Fund

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

      The conference agreement provides $1,585,000,000 for the 
``Child Survival and Health Programs Fund'' instead of 
$1,497,000,000 as proposed by the House or $1,659,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement includes not 
to exceed $350,000 for monitoring and oversight as proposed by 
the Senate, rather than $250,000 as proposed by the House.
      As in previous years, the conference agreement includes 
language allocating the ``Child Survival and Health Programs 
Fund'' among six program categories. A definition of program 
categories and their components can be found on pages 9 through 
11 of House Report 107-142 and under the heading ``Family 
Planning/Reproductive Health'' on page 12 of Senate Report 107-
58.
      Funds in this account are allocated in the following 
table and, as stipulated in section 596, any change to these 
allocations is subject to the regular reprogramming procedures 
of the Committees on Appropriations:

                 Child Survival and Health Programs Fund

               [Budget authority in thousands of dollars]

                                                    Conference agreement

                    --------------------------------------------------------
                    ____________________________________________________
        Total...........................................       1,585,000

      A table describing HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria allocations 
by account is at the beginning of this statement of the 
managers. Again this year, no funding for HIV/AIDS programs in 
the 15 Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief ``focus'' countries is 
appropriated in this account. Funding for the ``focus'' 
countries is appropriated under the heading ``Global HIV/AIDS 
Initiative''. The narrative for HIV/AIDS funding is under the 
heading ``Global HIV/AIDS Initiative''.

                            THE GLOBAL FUND

      The conference agreement includes a total of $450,000,000 
for the Global Fund: $250,000,000 from this account, and 
$200,000,000 from the Global HIV/AIDS Initiative account.
      The conferees note that, of the funding committed by the 
Global Fund to recipient countries, approximately 56 percent 
will be for HIV/AIDS interventions, 31 percent for malaria 
interventions, and 13 percent for TB or combined TB/AIDS 
interventions. The conferees have used these percentages to 
estimate the portion of the United States contribution to the 
Global Fund that is likely to be attributed for each disease.

                              TUBERCULOSIS

      The conference agreement provides a total of $150,900,000 
for TB assistance. Of this amount, $80,000,000 is funded 
through the ``other infectious diseases'' allocation in this 
account, an estimated $12,400,000 from other bilateral 
accounts, and $58,500,000 through the contribution to the 
Global Fund.

                                MALARIA

      For malaria, the conference agreement provides a total of 
$242,500,000. Of this amount, it is expected that $139,500,000 
of the contribution to the Global Fund will fund malaria 
programs, $100,000,000 is funded through the ``other infectious 
diseases'' allocation in this account, and an estimated 
$3,000,000 is provided from other bilateral accounts. The 
conferees have long been concerned by the mortality and 
morbidity caused by this disease, and have made available more 
than $657,500,000 since 2001 to fight malaria, consistently 
more each year than requested by the President.
      The conferees include section 598, similar to a Senate 
provision, which requires that bilateral malaria funds made 
available in this Act are spent in a coordinated, transparent 
manner on effective anti-malarial programs. The conferees urge 
the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) 
to work with host country health authorities, other donors, and 
multilateral institutions to develop, where they do not already 
exist, country-level malaria plans with clearly delineated 
roles and responsibilities. These plans should include specific 
indicators, procedures to measure progress toward those 
indicators, and mechanisms to track the disbursement of funds.
      Where appropriate, the plans should include significant 
support for the purchase of commodities, including bednets and 
pharmaceutical products. In accordance with these strategies, 
USAID's malaria programming should be provided for activities 
that maximize the effectiveness of United States assistance 
dollars in mitigating the effects of malaria.
      Section 598 also requires USAID to submit quarterly 
reports delineating expenditures to fight malaria. These 
reports should include indicators for USAID's programming, 
progress toward those indicators, and how USAID programming 
fits within country-level malaria strategic plans.

                           NEGLECTED DISEASES

      The conferees are aware that certain neglected diseases 
cause debilitating illness and disfigurement among hundreds of 
millions of people in mostly tropical countries, and that 
medicines exist to either prevent or cure most of these 
diseases. In section 593, the conference agreement includes a 
provision similar to a Senate amendment which provides 
$15,000,000 for an integrated approach to the control of 
neglected diseases. The conferees direct USAID to consult 
broadly to ensure the most effective uses of these funds and 
develop a multilateral mechanism to implement an integrated 
initiative to control these diseases, enhance coordination and 
effectiveness and maximize donor contributions. The 
Administrator of USAID should consult with the Committees on 
Appropriations before a mechanism is chosen. Until such a 
mechanism is available, the Administrator should develop and 
implement the program through existing bilateral and 
multilateral mechanisms.

                        RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

      The conferees note that USAID is developing a ``Research 
and Development'' strategy. In doing so for fiscal year 2006, 
USAID shall program not less than $40,000,000 for microbicides, 
including up to $3,000,000 for the International Partnership 
for Microbicides, and $29,000,000 for the International AIDS 
Vaccine Initiative. Additional organizations and amounts are 
specified in the House and Senate reports.

                            AVIAN INFLUENZA

      The conferees believe that strengthening international 
surveillance, reporting, and response capacity is the 
foundation of preventing and responding to an outbreak of avian 
influenza in the United States. Congress provided $25,000,000 
in Public Law 109-13 for the first step of the multi-year 
effort necessary to address the threat posed by an avian 
influenza pandemic, and the conferees expect the Administration 
to submit requests for further funds for this priority in 
future appropriations Acts.

                         Development Assistance

      The conference agreement provides $1,524,000,000 for 
``Development Assistance''.
      The conference agreement includes $214,000,000 for trade 
capacity building under this heading, of which at least 
$20,000,000 shall be made available for labor and environmental 
capacity building related to the free trade agreement with the 
countries of Central America and the Dominican Republic. Trade 
capacity building is further addressed in section 570 of the 
general provisions.
      The conference agreement provides $365,000,000 for basic 
education, including adult literacy programs, under this 
heading. The conference agreement addresses this matter further 
in section 567 of the general provisions.
      The conferees provide $15,000,000 for a program in Africa 
regarding school fees. This program is in addition to last 
year's provision of a similar amount.
      The conference agreement provides $15,000,000 for 
programs to improve women's leadership capacity in recipient 
countries. The conferees recommend $11,500,000 for USAID's 
Office of Women in Development, and note that the additional 
$500,000 above the level recommended in the Senate report 
should enable the office to begin conducting gender assessments 
in select country missions.
      The conference agreement provides $200,000,000 of the 
aggregated amounts in the Act for drinking water supply and 
related projects, of which not less than $50,000,000 should be 
available for drinking water projects in Africa. The conference 
agreement includes language similar to that proposed by the 
Senate, recommending $20,000,000 for clean water treatment 
activities in developing countries.
      The conferees support the fertilizer-related research and 
development work being conducted by the International 
Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) and urge USAID to make at 
least $4,000,000 available to IFDC, including not less than 
$2,300,000 for its core grant, as provided under the Senate 
amendment. The House did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement provides $20,000,000 for 
American Schools and Hospitals Abroad. The conferees request 
USAID consider supporting the American Community School in 
Beirut.
      The conferees agree that not less than $1,000,000 should 
be made available to the United States Telecommunications 
Training Institute.
      The conferees support language proposed by the Senate 
regarding micronutrient fortification of donated American 
commodities. The conferees expect USAID and the United States 
Department of Agriculture to work together to implement the 
2001 Micronutrient Compliance Review to ensure these 
commodities are safe for consumption.
      The conference agreement provides $2,000,000 for 
reconstruction and development projects in South Asia. The 
conferees direct that these funds be provided to the Doulos 
Foundation.
      The conferees agree that $20,000,000 should be made 
available for the Election and Political Processes Program of 
USAID's Office of Democracy and Governance, of which 
$18,000,000 should be made available for democracy programs. 
The conferees note that the level of funding contained in the 
budget request may be insufficient for effective promotion of 
democracy abroad, and urge increased funding in fiscal year 
2007. The conferees request USAID to consult with the 
Committees on how it can better coordinate its democracy and 
governance programs between Washington and the field, and 
between USAID and the State Department.
      The conferees note with concern the reductions made in 
the fiscal year 2006 budget request for a number of African 
countries. The conference agreement contains funding levels for 
both the ``Child Survival and Health Programs Fund'' and 
``Development Assistance'' that significantly exceed the 
amounts requested. The conferees therefore expect USAID to 
restore cuts in African country allocations to their fiscal 
year 2005 levels, consistent with proper programmatic 
considerations.
      The conferees endorse the list of university proposals in 
the Senate and House reports. In addition, the conferees 
recommend consideration of proposals by:
      --the University of South Alabama in partnership with the 
National Birth Defects Center of the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention;
      --Historically Black Colleges and Universities in 
Mississippi to strengthen civil society in Latin America and 
the Caribbean; and
      --a Consortium of Management Schools to link management 
schools in developing countries with faculty from leading 
United States management schools.
      In order to eliminate a discrepancy between the Senate 
and House reports, the conferees direct that the first report 
requested from USAID on the status of university funding 
proposals be submitted no later than June 1, 2006 and the 
second report submitted no later than September 1, 2006.
      The conferees clarify that funding contained in the 
Senate report under the heading ``Birds of Prey'' supports the 
Peregrine Fund's work in the International Raptor Center, to be 
matched by private contributions.

              International Disaster and Famine Assistance

      The conference agreement provides $365,000,000 for 
``International Disaster and Famine Assistance''. The conferees 
take note of the tragic earthquake in Pakistan and are aware 
that additional funds, including the reprogramming of funds 
contained in titles II and III of this Act, may be needed to 
address the needs caused by this tragedy.

operating expenses.

                        Capital Investment Fund

Capital Investment Fund. The conference agreement makes 
available $48,100,000 for USAID's contribution to the Capital 
Security Cost Sharing program, an increase of nearly 150 
percent above last year's contribution. The remainder of the 
funding in this account is to be used for USAID's information 
technology requirements so that the Agency will be able to 
process timely and accurate information in a secure manner.
      The conferees note that USAID plans to open a new mission 
in southern Sudan. To the degree that other United States 
Government agencies avail themselves of these facilities, the 
conferees note that USAID should charge a fair and reasonable 
rental assessment.

                  Other Bilateral Economic Assistance

                         Economic Support Fund

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

                                 EGYPT

      The conferees note that the reduction in the overall ESF 
request for Egypt has come at the expense of project 
assistance, and that the budget request for cash transfer and 
commodity import program assistance each continue at a 
$200,000,000 funding level. The conferees are concerned that 
reduced overall ESF levels not erode further the amount of 
project assistance provided to Egypt.
      Therefore, the conference agreement includes a minimum of 
$135,000,000 of project assistance taking into consideration 
the increased levels of assistance for democracy, governance 
and education programs. Within the amount provided for project 
assistance, not less than $50,000,000 shall be made available 
for democracy, governance and human rights programs and not 
less than $50,000,000 shall be used for education programs, 
including $5,000,000 that shall be made available for 
scholarships for disadvantaged Egyptian students. The conferees 
support the work of the Leadership for Education and 
Development program implemented by USAID in Egypt as it 
attracts students from rural areas of Egypt to attend the 
American University in Cairo.
      In order to support the appropriations process in 
subsequent years, the conferees request the State Department 
submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations, as part of 
the fiscal year 2007 budget request, which describes the 
overall assistance objectives for the ESF program in Egypt. The 
report should address how project and non-project assistance 
attempts to achieve those objectives, the extent to which such 
objectives are being achieved, the rationale for the continued 
decline in project assistance, and to what extent the State 
Department and USAID believe this trend will continue. In 
addition, the conferees request that the report address the 
balance between economic and military assistance provided to 
Egypt, including whether maintaining the current level of 
military assistance in relation to economic assistance is most 
appropriate in light of political and economic conditions in 
Egypt and in the region.
      The conferees agree with the House proposal that not less 
than 50 percent of the funds for democracy, governance and 
human rights be provided through non-governmental organizations 
for the purpose of strengthening Egyptian civil society 
organizations, enhancing their participation in the political 
process and their ability to promote and monitor human rights. 
Of the funds provided for education, the conferees recommend 
that not less than 50 percent be used to improve access to 
basic education. The remainder of funds provided for education 
shall be used to strengthen institutions of higher education, 
promote academic freedom, fund educational and cultural 
exchange programs, and provide educational scholarships 
including for the American University in Cairo. The conferees 
request USAID to consult with the Committees on Appropriations 
regarding the use of democracy funds for Egypt.
      The conference agreement does not include language, 
proposed by the Senate, conditioning ESF assistance on the 
installation of an FM transmitter in Media City for Radio SAWA. 
The conferees expect the State Department to continue to make 
this matter a priority in Egypt-United States relations.

                                 AFRICA

      The conferees agree to provide $10,000,000 for political 
reform programs in Ethiopia and direct the State Department to 
consult with the Committees on Appropriations on the uses of 
these funds.
      The conferees agree to provide $4,000,000 for assistance 
for Zimbabwe for activities consistent with the Zimbabwe 
Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-
99). The conferees remain concerned with the authoritarianism 
of the Mugabe regime and the impact of its misrule on the 
people of Zimbabwe and the region, particularly with respect to 
the spread of HIV/AIDS.
      The conferees support efforts to revitalize the peace 
process in Uganda, and expect funding in this Act to be made 
available for humanitarian, psycho-social, and development 
needs for displaced and war-affected persons. The conferees 
urge the Government of Uganda to accept the presence of 
international human rights monitors in northern and eastern 
Uganda.

                       EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

      The conference agreement includes language, similar to 
that proposed by the Senate, which recommends targeted 
assistance for Cambodia, including $15,000,000 for the 
promotion of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. The 
conferees agree with the Senate position with respect to 
Cambodia, and condemn the continued suppression of free speech 
and intimidation of political activists and opposition parties 
by the Government of Cambodia.
      The conferees note that democracy remains fragile in 
Timor-Leste. The UNOTIL is scheduled to end in May 2006 and 
some essential government functions remain dependent on 
international assistance. The conference agreement includes 
language directing not less than $19,000,000 in ESF assistance 
for Timor-Leste, and $1,500,000 in INCLE assistance for on-the-
ground training of police.
      The conferees agree to provide $25,000,000 for assistance 
for the Philippines, an increase of $5,000,000 above the budget 
request.

                               NEAR EAST

      The conferees agree to provide $110,000,000 for the 
Middle East Partnership Initiative and direct that up to 
$9,000,000 be made available for scholarship programs for 
students from countries with significant Muslim populations at 
not-for-profit American institutions of basic and higher 
education in the Middle East that are accredited by an 
accrediting agency recognized by the United States Secretary of 
Education and are not controlled by the government of the 
country in which they are located, including the American 
University of Beirut, the American University in Cairo, and the 
Lebanese American University. The conferees note that funding 
provided to American educational institutions in Lebanon may be 
used for scholarships to support students from any country 
within the Middle East.
      The conference agreement includes $56,000,000 for 
democracy, governance and rule of law programs in Iraq, which 
is similar to a provision proposed by the Senate. The conferees 
direct that of these funds, $28,000,000 be made available to 
the International Republican Institute and $28,000,000 to the 
National Democratic Institute.
      The conferees recognize the important programs of 
organizations, such as Interns for Peace, regarding peacemaking 
and economic empowerment of Palestinian youth, and recommend 
sufficient funding be made available to support these 
activities from assistance provided for the West Bank and Gaza.

                                 OTHER

      The conferees recommend $5,000,000 to continue support 
for the provision of wheelchairs for needy persons in 
developing countries, instead of $10,000,000 as proposed by the 
Senate.
      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate regarding English language training 
programs in Francophone countries. The conferees direct that 
funds made available under the heading ``Economic Support 
Fund'' be made available for such purposes.

             EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVE

      The conference agreement does not include a provision 
proposed by the Senate to provide a United States contribution 
to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative Trust Fund 
(EITI), which is managed by the World Bank. The House did not 
address this matter. However, the conferees support this 
initiative which aims to improve the capacity of developing 
countries to sustainably manage the extraction of natural 
resources and to monitor revenues generated from such 
extraction so they are used for purposes which benefit their 
people. The conferees provide $1,000,000 in ESF assistance to 
be administered by USAID to support EITI implementation and to 
strengthen the role and capacity of civil society organizations 
in the EITI process.

                                PAKISTAN

      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate which conditioned ESF assistance to the 
central government of Pakistan on submission of a report 
describing steps the government has taken to protect the rights 
and safety of Pakistan's human rights lawyers and journalists. 
The conferees are concerned with reports of harassment and 
violence perpetrated by Pakistani security forces against 
lawyers who represent political dissidents and journalists who 
report on government corruption and other abuses. The conferees 
direct the Secretary of State to provide the report required by 
the Senate provision no later than 120 days after enactment of 
this Act.

               FOUNDATION FOR SECURITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

      The conferees agree to provide $3,000,000 for the 
Foundation for Security and Sustainability, as proposed by the 
Senate.

                      CENTRAL HIGHLANDS OF VIETNAM

      The conferees agree to provide $2,000,000 for programs to 
address the needs of affected communities and individuals in 
the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The conferees expect up to 
$1,000,000 will be provided to the Montagnard Development 
Project.

         ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS--INDONESIAN UNIVERSITIES

      The conference agreement does not include a proposal by 
the Senate that $2,000,000 be made available for economic 
development programs conducted by Indonesian universities. 
However, the conferees expect funding to be provided for this 
purpose.

       UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IN NEPAL

      The conferees agree to provide a total of not less than 
$7,500,000 in ESF assistance for Nepal, including $2,500,000 
for a United States contribution to the Office of the UN High 
Commissioner for Human Rights in Nepal.

                     International Fund for Ireland

      The conference agreement provides $13,500,000 as proposed 
by the House instead of no appropriation as proposed by the 
Senate.

          Assistance for Eastern Europe and the Baltic States

      The conference agreement provides $361,000,000 instead of 
$357,000,000 as proposed by the House and $395,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.
      Funds in this account are allocated in the following 
table and, as stipulated in section 596, any change to these

                                 SERBIA

      The conference agreement includes language in section 563 
similar to that proposed by the Senate conditioning assistance 
to the central government of Serbia on a determination by the 
President that the Government of Serbia and Montenegro is 
cooperating with the International Criminal Tribunal for the 
former Yugoslavia.
      The conferees recognize that Serbia's democratic 
transition remains fragile, and directs the State Department to 
give priority from funds appropriated for assistance for Serbia 
to programs and activities that strengthen democratic political 
parties, parliament and civil society.

                                 KOSOVO

      The conferees recommend that support be considered for 
the American University in Kosovo.

                        TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

      The conference agreement does not include language, 
proposed by the Senate, which recommends $3,500,000 for 
leadership development programs for women and youth. The 
conferees expect the State Department to make these funds 
available for such purposes.
      The conference agreement provides $5,000,000 for the 
training of judges and prosecutors, as proposed by the Senate. 
The conferees request the State Department to consult with the 
Committees on Appropriations on the use of these funds. The 
conferees note the American Bar Association's rule of law 
programs and support implementing them through cooperative 
agreements.
      The conferees recommend funding for the Russian, 
Eurasian, and East European Research and Training Program 
(Title VIII) at the fiscal year 2005 level. The conferees also 
encourage the use of Title VIII funds to include comparative 
research and language training concerning Eurasian countries 
critical in the war on terrorism.
      The conferees continue to support the East Central 
European Scholarship Program (ECESP) and expect that USAID will 
continue to fund ECESP in Albania and Macedonia through an 
extension of the current ECESP cooperative agreement.

    Assistance for the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union

      The conference agreement provides $514,000,000 instead of

proposed by the Senate.
      Funds in this account are allocated in the following

                         HUMANITARIAN PROGRAMS

      The conferees are concerned that internal armed conflicts 
in the Northern Caucasus have caused great suffering and 
resulted in enormous humanitarian and development needs for the 
people of Chechnya, Ingushetia, North Ossetia-Alania, and 
Dagestan. The conference agreement includes not less than 
$5,000,000 for improvements in basic services, community 
reconstruction and recovery, economic development with an 
emphasis on job creation, the promotion of good governance, 
human rights, free media, and support for civil society 
organizations. The above-mentioned republics should receive 
priority consideration for this assistance. These funds should 
be disbursed through a transparent, competitive process.
      The conferees agree that at least $3,000,000 of the funds 
allocated for regional programs should be provided to address 
ongoing humanitarian needs in Nagorno-Karabagh.
      The conferees recommend that the State Department 
consider a proposal for a Central Diagnostic Laboratory in the 
Caucasus, to be located in Armenia.
      The conferees recommend USAID give consideration to the 
programs of the Vishnevskaya-Rostropovich Foundation, which 
conducts health programs for children that emphasize disease 
prevention in the Russian Federation.

                         TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS

      The conferees include not less than $4,000,000 for 
programs to fight trafficking in persons. The conferees intend 
that this funding be used to protect victims of trafficking, 
prevent new instances of trafficking, and support the 
prosecution of traffickers.

                             NUCLEAR SAFETY

      The conference agreement recommends that of the funds 
made available for assistance for Ukraine, $5,000,000 should be 
made available for nuclear reactor safety initiatives, similar 
to that proposed by the Senate. The conferees expect that of 
this amount, $3,000,000 should be provided for simulator-
related projects.

                        TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

      The conference agreement provides $2,500,000, as proposed 
by the Senate, for the Business Information Service for the 
Newly Independent States (BISNIS). The conferees support 
BISNIS's efforts to establish a self-sustaining program under 
the Department of Commerce and will reconsider this matter in 
fiscal year 2007.
      The conferees recognize the important work of the Eurasia 
Foundation in promoting civil society and private enterprise in 
the successor countries of the former Soviet Union and 
encourage USAID and the State Department to support the 
Foundation's efforts to launch and build indigenous foundations 
throughout the region to continue this work. The conferees note 
the Eurasia Foundation's commitment to seek sustainable funding 
for such indigenous organizations through private sector and 
regional donors.

                          Independent Agencies

                       Inter-American Foundation

      The conference agreement provides $19,500,000 as proposed 
by the House instead of $20,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                     African Development Foundation

      The conference agreement provides $23,000,000 instead of 
$20,500,000 as proposed by the House and $25,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.

                              Peace Corps

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

      The conference agreement provides $322,000,000, instead 
of $325,000,000 as proposed by the House and $320,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.

                          SUPPORT FOR COUNSEL

      The conferees are aware that under certain circumstances 
jurisdictions overseas require the victim of a crime to 
participate in the prosecution of the crime. The conferees 
believe that the language of section 5(l) of the Peace Corps 
Act could support the use of funds appropriated to the Peace 
Corps to enable the Peace Corps to employ local counsel for 
volunteers in proceedings where they are parties or complaining 
witnesses. The conferees urge the Peace Corps to work with the 
committees of substantive jurisdiction to seek additional 
clarity on this issue in the Peace Corps Act.

                            AVIAN INFLUENZA

      The conferees expect the Peace Corps to use funding 
appropriated under this heading for expenses relating to avian 
influenza.

                    Millennium Challenge Corporation

      The conference agreement provides $1,770,000,000 for the 
Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) instead of 
$1,750,000,000 as proposed by the House and $1,800,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement makes available up to 
$75,000,000 for administrative expenses as proposed by the 
House, instead of $70,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 
Additionally, the conferees include language proposed by the 
Senate, and similar to that proposed by the House, providing up 
to 10 percent of funds for threshold country assistance.
      The conference agreement includes a number of provisions 
proposed by both the House and Senate requesting a report on 
the threshold country program, extending section 605(e)(4) of 
the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003, and requiring that the 
MCC fully fund multi-year compacts for fiscal year 2006.
      The conferees understand that strong participation from 
indigenous civil society organizations is critical to 
increasing public support for and ensuring that the MCC 
successfully meets its intended goals of economic growth and 
poverty reduction. Such participation would also strengthen the 
nascent democratic processes in eligible countries, contribute 
to the MCC criteria of good governance, and provide 
opportunities for discussion of how best to achieve national 
priorities of economic growth and poverty reduction.
      The conferees request that the Chief Executive Officer of 
the MCC submit a report that describes and assesses the record 
of national governance structures to take into account 
indigenous civil society input within countries that have 
completed compact negotiations. The report should be submitted 
to the relevant committees of jurisdiction identified in the 
MCC authorization no later than March 31, 2006.

                          Department of State

                       Global HIV/AIDS Initiative

      The conference agreement provides $1,995,000,000 for 
``Global HIV/AIDS Initiative'' instead of $1,920,000,000 as 
proposed by the House and $2,020,000,000 as proposed by the 
Senate.
      Funds in this account are allocated in the following 
table and, as stipulated in section 596, any change to these 
allocations is subject to the regular reprogramming procedures 
of the Committees on Appropriations:

                       Global HIV/AIDS Initiative

               [Budget authority in thousands of dollars]

                           ACCOUNT STRUCTURE

      The conferees note that all funding for the 15 Global 
HIV/AIDS Initiative ``focus'' countries is appropriated in this 
account. The conferees strongly encourage the Office of the 
Global AIDS Coordinator to continue its policy of providing 
additional funding to ``non-focus'' countries and have included 
$50,000,000 for ``non-focus'' countries in this account.

                           HIV AND NUTRITION

      The conferees urge the Office of the Global AIDS 
Coordinator to develop and implement a strategy, in 
coordination with groups responsible for issues of nutrition, 
such as USAID, the Department of Agriculture, the World Food 
Program, and the Food and Agriculture Organization, to address 
the nutritional requirements of those on antiretroviral 
therapy. The conferees ask the Office of the Global AIDS 
Coordinator, in collaboration with USAID, to consult with and 
report to the Committees on Appropriations not later than 180 
days after the enactment of this Act on the following for the 
Global HIV/AIDS Initiative ``focus'' countries:
      (a) The number of Global HIV/AIDS Initiative 
beneficiaries on antiretroviral therapy;
      (b) The impact of food and nutrition on care and 
treatment; and
      (c) A strategy to address the nutritional requirements of 
persons receiving care and treatment.

                   TECHNICAL AND PROGRAMMATIC SUPPORT

      The conferees urge USAID and the Office of the Global 
AIDS Coordinator to improve coordination for programs to fight 
HIV and TB, including through increased funding to 
organizations such as the World Health Organization which can 
provide technical support to countries.
      The conferees continue to support the country planning 
process and recommend that the Office of the Global AIDS 
Coordinator consider support for organizations, such as Dream 
for Africa, which develop civil society and local health 
outreach.

                             Democracy Fund

      The conference agreement includes a new appropriations 
account, similar to that proposed by the Senate, which seeks to 
increase the effectiveness and oversight of programs that 
promote democracy, governance, human rights, independent media, 
and the rule of law globally. The conferees note that this 
account also incorporates provisions contained in sections 6026 
and 6034 of the Senate bill, and section 534 of the House bill.
      The conferees recommend $95,000,000 for specific 
democracy programs and activities, as contained in the 
following table, and up to $1,448,200,000 for democracy, human 
rights, and rule of law activities under title II of this Act, 
as contained in the budget request:

                             Democracy Fund

            Total.............................................    95,000

      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate that caps USAID contracts for democracy 
programs at $250,000,000. The conference agreement includes a 
provision requiring USAID to notify the Committees on 
Appropriations of democracy, governance, human rights and rule 
of law contracts, grants and cooperative agreements (and any 
amendments to the same) exceeding $10,000,000. The conferees 
include language similar to that proposed by the Senate to 
provide that funds in the Act that are made available to the 
National Endowment for Democracy (NED) may be made available 
notwithstanding any other provision of law or regulation.
      The conference agreement recommends $6,550,000 for 
programs that support the advancement of democracy in Iran and 
Syria, and language permitting other funds in this Act to be 
used for similar purposes. The conferees expect that not less 
than a total of $10,000,000 from funds in this account as well 
as funds provided for the Middle East Partnership Initiative be 
made available for programs to support democracy in Iran, 
including through educational, humanitarian and nongovernmental 
organizations and individuals inside Iran. The conferees 
encourage the State Department to consider a range of proposals 
for democracy promotion in Iran, including activities utilizing 
the media.
      The conferees support additional assistance for democracy 
programs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo from funds 
made available under this heading and elsewhere in this Act.
      In addition to funds for programs targeted toward Africa, 
Asia, and Muslim countries outside the Middle East, the 
conferees include for the National Endowment of Democracy: 
$250,000 for democracy and human rights programs relating to 
Tibet; $2,000,000 for the promotion of democracy in Venezuela; 
$4,000,000 for political party development programs in Russia; 
and $1,000,000 for programs that promote democratization in 
North Korea, including human rights and the free flow of 
information.
      The conferees provide $8,000,000 for a United Nations 
Democracy Fund. The conferees request the State Department to 
report to the Committees on Appropriations on how this fund 
will complement ongoing United States democracy building 
efforts.

          International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement

      The conference agreement provides $477,200,000 for 
International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement (INCLE), 
instead of $442,400,000 as proposed by the House and 
$523,874,000 as proposed by the Senate. Funds are made 
available until September 30, 2008 as proposed by the House 
instead of September 30, 2007 as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement provides $10,000,000 for 
assistance for demand reduction programs, similar to the House 
bill. The Senate did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement provides $16,000,000 for the 
International Law Enforcement Training Academies (ILEA) as 
proposed by the Senate. The House did not address this issue.
      The conference agreement does not include a Senate 
provision making $10,000,000 in INCLE funds available for law 
enforcement programs to combat violent gangs in Guatemala, 
Honduras and El Salvador. The House bill did not address this 
issue. However, the conferees are alarmed by the growing 
violent gang activity in these countries and urge the Secretary 
of State to increase funding for these programs.
      The conferees direct the State Department to consult with 
the Committees on Appropriations concerning the use of funds 
available under this heading and specified as ``other 
programs'' in the accompanying table. The conferees expect that 
programs in Iraq will be given the highest priority with either 
fiscal year 2006 INCLE funds or prior year unobligated funds.
      The conferees agree with the concerns expressed in Senate 
report language regarding the unwieldy structure of funding for 
INL aviation programs. The conferees direct that not less than 
30 days prior to the obligation of funds available for 
``International Narcotics and Law Enforcement'' or ``Andean 
Counterdrug Initiative'' for the procurement of aircraft, the 
State Department shall provide the Committees on Appropriations 
with an Analysis of Alternatives. The analysis shall include, 
at a minimum: the requirement or mission need for the aircraft 
to be procured; planned funding for the subject acquisition; 
cost of alternative aircraft; mission capabilities to include 
range, lift and operational limitations; estimated maintenance 
costs and requirements; planned acquisition strategy; and 
contract or availability limitations.
      The conference agreement makes available $33,484,000 for 
administrative expenses as proposed by the House instead of 
$30,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      Funds in this account are allocated in the following 
table and, as stipulated in section 596, any change to these 
allocations is subject to the regular reprogramming procedures 
of the Committees on Appropriations:

                     Andean Counterdrug Initiative

      The conference agreement provides $734,500,000 for the 
``Andean Counterdrug Initiative'' as proposed by the House and 
the Senate. Funds are made available until September 30, 2008 
as proposed by the House instead of September 30, 2007 as 
proposed by the Senate. The conferees emphasize that there are 
other funds for Andean nations in this Act.
      The conference agreement provides that not less than 
$228,772,000 shall be directly apportioned to USAID, including 
$131,232,000 for Colombia.
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
the Senate amendment that recommends that not less than 
$2,000,000 should be made available to protect biodiversity and 
indigenous reserves in Colombia. The House did not address this 
matter. The conferees intend these funds to be used for 
continued assistance for the Colombian National Park Service 
and to support activities of nongovernmental organizations.
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate to provide $8,000,000 to USAID for 
organizations and programs to protect human rights in Colombia. 
These funds are in addition to the $6,000,000 requested for 
judicial reform programs in Colombia in fiscal year 2006.
      The conferees are aware that hundreds of Colombian 
military personnel, mostly young recruits, have suffered 
grievous injuries from landmines and other causes. Many require 
sophisticated medical treatment. Through the efforts of 
``United for Colombia,'' several United States hospitals are 
providing this treatment free of charge but there are 
incidental costs such as transportation, lodging and medicines. 
The conferees direct that of the funds available for the 
Colombian Armed Forces, $500,000 be made available to pay the 
incidental costs associated with the treatment and care of 
injured soldiers in the United States. The conferees also 
recommend that additional Leahy War Victims Fund assistance be 
made available for Colombian civilians who are disabled from 
landmines and other causes resulting from the conflict.
      The conference agreement again includes conditions, 
similar to current law and the same as the Senate amendment, on 
aerial spraying. The House bill did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by 
the Senate, which is current law, that requires that the 
Administrator of USAID, in consultation with the Assistant 
Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law 
Enforcement Affairs, shall have responsibility for the use of 
funds under this heading that are directly apportioned to 
USAID. The House did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement makes available $19,015,000 from 
this account for administrative expenses of the State 
Department and $7,800,000 for administrative expenses of USAID 
as proposed by the House instead of $16,000,000 for the State 
Department and $7,000,000 for USAID as proposed by the Senate.
      The conferees urge the Administration to include in its 
fiscal year 2007 budget request amounts necessary for a 
maritime refueling support vessel capable of refueling United 
States and allied vessels engaged in drug interdiction in the 
eastern Pacific transit zone.
      Funds in this account are allocated in the following 
table and, as stipulated in section 596, any change to these 
allocations is subject to the regular reprogramming procedures 
of the Committees on Appropriations:

                    Migration and Refugee Assistance

      The conference agreement provides $791,000,000 for the 
Migration and Refugee Assistance Account instead of 
$790,720,000 as proposed by the House and $900,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.

                                 ISRAEL

      The conference agreement also includes Senate language 
providing not less than $40,000,000 for refugees from the 
former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe and other refugees 
resettling in Israel. The House bill did not address this 
matter.

                              NORTH KOREA

      The conference agreement does not include language, as 
proposed by the Senate, regarding assistance for refugees from 
North Korea. The conferees note that this matter remains a 
priority for the Committees on Appropriations, and expect the 
State Department to continue to consult with the Committees on 
Appropriations on how best to assist these refugees.

                          CONFLICT MITIGATION

      The conferees include a provision, similar to Senate 
language, recommending funding for programs to mitigate 
conflict between refugees and hosting communities and to 
provide technical assistance to local organizations for 
assistance to refugees, including refugee registration and 
protection.

     United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund

      The conference agreement provides $30,000,000 for the 
United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund, 
as proposed by the House, instead of $40,000,000 as proposed by 
the Senate.
      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate that provides the funds notwithstanding 
section 2(c)(2) of the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 
1962.

    Nonproliferation, Anti-Terrorism, Demining and Related Programs

      The conference agreement provides $410,100,000 for 
Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related 
Programs, instead of $400,350,000 as proposed by the House and 
$445,100,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement provides that certain funds 
appropriated under this heading may be made available 
notwithstanding any other provision of law, the same as current 
law and as proposed by the Senate. The House provided that 
these funds may be used notwithstanding any provision of law 
that restricts assistance to foreign countries.
      The conferees support the use of facilities in New Mexico 
for instruction in Rural Border patrol operations and urge the 
State Department to continue Anti-Terror Assistance Program 
training at these facilities.
      The conferees recognize the strategic and potential 
economic importance of the port of Riga, given Latvia's status 
as a valued and trusted NATO ally. In addition to the reporting 
requirements set forth in the Senate report, the State 
Department shall also report to the Committees on 
Appropriations on any specific security and non-proliferation 
issues and concerns needed to be addressed in the assessment.
      Due to budget constraints, the conference agreement does 
not include a provision proposed by the Senate to provide 
additional funds above the amount requested for a United States 
contribution to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty 
Preparatory Commission (CTBT). The House did not address this 
matter. The conferees urge the State Department to include 
sufficient funds for CTBT in the Administration's fiscal year 
2007 budget request.
      The conference agreement does not include $29,000,000 as 
requested for programs in Iraq, including $16,000,000 as 
requested for humanitarian demining programs in Iraq. The 
conferees expect these programs to be funded from prior year 
funds currently unobligated for Iraq.
      Funds in this account are allocated in the following 
table and, as stipulated in section 596, any change to these 
allocations is subject to the regular reprogramming procedures 
of the Committees on Appropriations:

                         CONFLICT RESPONSE FUND

      The conference agreement does not include funding for the 
Conflict Response Fund. The conferees request the State 
Department, prior to the submission of the fiscal year 2007 
budget request, to provide the Committees on Appropriations 
with a comprehensive, disciplined and coherent strategy 
detailing how the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction 
and Stabilization will coordinate United States Government-wide 
efforts to respond to international post-conflict 
contingencies.

                       Department of the Treasury

               International Affairs Technical Assistance

      The conference agreement provides $20,000,000 for the 
International Affairs Technical Assistance program of the 
Department of the Treasury as proposed by the House and the 
Senate. Funds for this account are made available until 
September 30, 2008, instead of 2009 as proposed by the House 
and 2007 as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement provides that funds appropriated 
under this heading may be made available notwithstanding any 
other provision of law, the same as current law and as proposed 
by the Senate. The House provided that these funds may be made 
available notwithstanding any provision of law that restricts 
assistance to foreign countries.

                           Debt Restructuring

      The conference agreement provides $65,000,000 for Debt 
Restructuring as proposed by the House, instead of $99,750,000 
as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement provides 
$20,000,000 for the Tropical Forest Conservation Act Programs 
as proposed by both the House and Senate.
      The conferees include a technical provision proposed by 
the Senate referencing limitations by the Agricultural Trade 
Development and Assistance Act of 1954. The House did not 
address this matter.
      The conference agreement does not include Senate language 
limiting the use of the United States contribution to the HIPC 
Trust Fund. The House did not address this matter.

                     TITLE III--MILITARY ASSISTANCE

             International Military Education and Training

      The conference agreement provides $86,744,000 for 
International Military Education and Training (IMET), as 
proposed by the House and the Senate.

                   Foreign Military Financing Program

      The conference agreement provides $4,500,000,000 for the 
Foreign Military Financing Program (FMF), instead of 
$4,442,300,000 as proposed by the House and $4,603,600,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.
      The conferees agree with the House position that 
$1,300,000,000 shall be made available for grants only for 
Egypt and that $210,000,000 as proposed by the Senate shall be 
made available for assistance for Jordan.
      Funds in this account are allocated in the following

allocations is subject to the regular reprogramming procedures 
of the Committees on Appropriations:

    Total..................................................... 4,500,000

                         ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN

      The conferees agree to include $5,000,000 for each of the 
countries of Armenia and Azerbaijan. In addition, the conferees 
support IMET assistance levels of $750,000 for each country.

                                LEBANON

      The conferees agree to initiate FMF in Lebanon for 
$1,000,000. The conferees agree that this assistance should be 
used to initiate procurement of such non-lethal equipment as 
radios and vehicles.

                        Peacekeeping Operations

      The conference agreement provides $175,000,000 for 
``Peacekeeping Operations'', instead of $177,800,000 as 
proposed by the House and $195,800,000 as proposed by the 
Senate.

               TITLE IV--MULTILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

                  International Financial Institutions

                      Global Environment Facility

      The conference agreement provides $80,000,000 for the 
Global Environment Facility (GEF) instead of no appropriation 
as proposed by the House and $107,500,000 as proposed by the 
Senate.
      The conferees recognize that the GEF adopted a new 
Resource Allocation Framework (RAF) in September, 2005. The RAF 
will link the allocation of GEF resources to a country's 
potential to generate global environmental benefits as well as 
its performance, including transparency and good governance. 
The purpose of performance-based allocations in any institution 
is to maximize the beneficial impact of scarce resources. The 
conferees are pleased that the GEF Council established the 
performance-based allocation system, the centerpiece reform of 
the GEF-3 replenishment agreement of 2002, and the basis for 
budget requests to the Congress over the last four years. Due 
to constraints of the budget allocation, the conferees were 
unable to provide the full amount for the GEF proposed by the 
Senate.
      Additionally, the conferees are aware that the donor 
negotiations for the next GEF replenishment, GEF-4, are 
currently underway. Therefore, the conferees direct the 
Department of the Treasury to consult with the Committees on 
Appropriations on a periodic basis during the fiscal year 
regarding the implementation of the RAF and other reforms 
adopted by the GEF for the remaining GEF-3 funding as well as 
for new funding being proposed under the GEF-4 replenishment.

       Contribution to the International Development Association

      The conference agreement provides $950,000,000 for the 
International Development Association (IDA), the concessional 
lending facility of the World Bank, as proposed by the House 
instead of $900,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The conferees believe that the IDA could be an 
appropriate source of funds to help eligible countries prepare 
for and combat a potential avian influenza epidemic. There 
exists significant need in Asia for programs to increase 
surveillance capacity, compensate small-scale farmers for 
timely reports of bird die-offs, modernize animal husbandry 
practices, and upgrade infectious disease infrastructure. The 
conferees urge the United States Executive Director to the 
World Bank to use the voice and vote of the United States to 
increase support for this global priority, and direct the 
Secretary of the Treasury to report not later than 90 days 
after enactment of this Act on the World Bank's plans to do so. 
The conferees urge governments in that region to make combating 
avian influenza a top priority.

      Contribution to the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency

      The conference agreement provides $1,300,000 for the 
Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, as proposed by the 
Senate, instead of $1,741,515 as proposed by the House.

          Contribution to the Inter-American Development Bank

                 Inter-American Investment Corporation

      The conference agreement provides $1,741,515 for past due 
payments by the United States to the Inter-American Investment 
Corporation as proposed by the House, instead of $1,500,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.

Contribution to the Enterprise for the Americas Multilateral Investment 
                                  Fund

      The conference agreement provides $1,741,515 for past due 
payments by the United States to the Multilateral Investment 
Fund as proposed by the House, instead of $3,742,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.

               Contribution to the Asian Development Fund

      The conference agreement provides $100,000,000 for the 
United States contribution to the Asian Development Fund, as 
proposed by the Senate, instead of $115,250,000 as proposed by 
the House.

              Contribution to the African Development Bank

      The conference agreement provides $3,638,000 for the 
African Development Bank, as proposed by the Senate, instead of 
$5,638,350 as proposed by the House.

              Contribution to the African Development Fund

      The conference agreement provides $135,700,000 for the 
African Development Fund as proposed by the House and the 
Senate.

                International Organizations and Programs

      The conference agreement provides $329,458,000 for 
voluntary contributions to ``International Organizations and 
Programs'', instead of $328,958,000 as proposed by the House 
and $330,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      Funds in this account are allocated in the following 
table and, as stipulated in section 596, any change to these 
allocations is subject to the regular reprogramming procedures 
of the Committees on Appropriations:

                   UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

      The conferees encourage the United Nations Development 
Program (UNDP) to remain vigilant over the politicization of 
its funding for propaganda purposes, particularly by the 
Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Gaza and by the 
illegitimate State Peace and Development Council in Burma. The 
conferees do not endorse the purchase of aircraft by UNDP for 
program purposes in Burma.

                           WORLD FOOD PROGRAM

      The conferees support the work of the World Food Program 
and have provided $10,000,000 for a voluntary contribution 
under section 534 of this Act as proposed by the Senate, rather 
than $6,000,000 as proposed by the House.

                      TITLE V--GENERAL PROVISIONS

      (Note: If the provision proposed by the House and Senate 
is similar, except for a different section number or minor 
technical differences, the section is not addressed in this 
statement of the managers.)
Sec. 504. Report on Unobligated Balances
      The conference agreement includes a new provision as 
proposed by the Senate (section 6100), with some modification, 
that requires the submission of quarterly reports on 
unobligated and unexpended funds.
      The conferees agree that the quarterly report required by 
this section should be formatted to provide information on 
unobligated balances for the relevant quarter as well as 
cumulative balances for unobligated and unexpended funds. For 
purposes of this quarterly report, the terms ``unobligated'' 
and ``unexpended'' shall have the same meaning as such terms 
defined by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) ``Red 
Book'' and as used by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB).
      The conferees agree that the first quarterly report 
required by this provision, covering the first quarter of the 
fiscal year 2006 and prior year balances, shall be due to the 
Committees on Appropriations no later than February 1, 2006.
Sec. 505. Limitation on Expenses and Representational Allowances
      The conference agreement includes a revision of House 
sections 504 and 505 and Senate sections 6004 and 6005. The 
agreement combines these provisions into a new section 505 
which addresses both a limitation on representational 
allowances as well as a limitation on entertainment expenses to 
also include recorded music, live artistic performances, 
personal gifts and furnishings.
Sec. 507. Prohibition Against Direct Funding for Certain Countries
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House and Senate (section 6007) which 
prohibits direct funding for certain countries, exempting Libya 
from the prohibition on Export-Import Bank programs and 
Overseas Private Investment Corporation financing.
Sec. 509. Transfers
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House and Senate (section 6009) limiting 
transfers of funds in this Act.
Sec. 510. Commercial Leasing of Defense Articles
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House and Senate (section 6010) which 
provides the same authority in current law regarding the 
commercial leasing of defense articles.
Sec. 511. Availability of Funds
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House and Senate (section 6011) which 
addresses the availability of funds.
Sec. 515. Notification Requirements
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House and Senate (section 6015), with 
modifications, which requires the application of reprogramming 
oversight procedures. The conference agreement includes a new 
heading, ``Democracy Fund'', subject to notification.
Sec. 517. Independent States of the Former Soviet Union
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House and Senate (section 6017), with 
modifications. The agreement excludes subsection (a) of the 
House bill regarding restrictions on assistance and includes 
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in the list of countries for 
whichfunds are subject to notification procedures, as proposed 
by the House.
Sec. 519. Export Financing Transfer Authorities
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House and Senate (section 6019) 
limiting the transfer authorities for funds, modified to apply 
to funds appropriated in title I of this Act.
Sec. 520. Special Notification Requirements
      The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by 
the Senate (section 6020) which requires that funds for Serbia, 
Sudan, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Liberia, and Cambodia be subject to 
the special notification procedures of this section, instead of 
a similar provision proposed by the House (section 520).
Sec. 521. Definition of Program, Project, and Activity
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House and Senate (section 6021) which 
applies the definition for the terms ``program, project, and 
activity'' to the entire Act, the same as current law and as 
proposed by the House.
Sec. 522. Child Survival and Health Activities
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House and Senate (section 6022) which 
addresses expenditure of funds made available for assistance 
under the heading ``Child Survival and Health Programs Fund''. 
The provision makes available for family planning/reproductive 
health activities not less than $440,000,000 of funds 
appropriated under title II, rather than $450,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. The House did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement also includes language as 
proposed by the Senate which mandates a Government 
Accountability Office audit of the 2004 and 2005 ``Child 
Survival and Health Programs Fund''.
Sec. 523. Afghanistan
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House and Senate (section 6023) which 
addresses funds provided for humanitarian, reconstruction, and 
related assistance for Afghanistan. The conference agreement 
provides that not less than $3,000,000 should be for 
reforestation activities, rather than $5,000,000 as proposed by 
the Senate.
      The conference agreement does not include a Senate 
proposal to provide $3,000,000 for assistance for Afghan 
families and communities that have suffered losses as a result 
of the military operations. The House did not address this 
matter. The conferees support continued funding for this 
initiative and provide $2,000,000 for this purpose. The 
conferees intend these funds to be used to support the same 
types of activities that are being carried out in Iraq through 
the Marla Ruzicka Iraqi War Victims Fund. The conferees direct 
that a portion of these funds be used, consistent with the 
Senate provision, to employ a liaison between Afghan families 
and communities, the Afghan Independent Human Rights 
Commission, U.S. Armed Forces and USAID, to facilitate 
implementation of this initiative.
      The conference agreement provides that not less than 
$2,000,000 should be for Afghan human rights groups, as 
proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement does not include language, 
proposed by the Senate, which recommends funding for a National 
Emergency Response and Preparedness System. The conferees 
expect the State Department to consider this project.
      The conference agreement does not include a vetting 
requirement for the Afghan National Army, as proposed by the 
Senate, which would have been duplicative of vetting 
requirements included elsewhere in this Act.
      The conference agreement contains language, similar to 
that proposed by the House and Senate, that provides that 
$50,000,000 should be made available to support programs that 
directly address the needs of Afghan women and girls, of which 
not less than $7,500,000 shall be made available for small 
grants to improve the capacity of women-led Afghan 
nongovernmental organizations.
Sec. 525. HIV/AIDS
      The conference agreement includes a provision, similar to 
that proposed by the House, which conditions a portion of the 
United States contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB 
and Malaria on the progress of reforms to improve monitoring 
and evaluation of the effectiveness of Global Fund financing. 
The conference agreement conditions 20 percent, rather than 25 
percent as in the House provision, and a clarifying change is 
made in paragraph (2).
Sec. 526. Burma
      The conference agreement includes language, similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6031), regarding 
assistance for Burma. The conferees endorse language on Burma 
contained in the Senate report.
      The conferees recommend that in addition to assistance 
for Burmese refugees provided under the heading ``Migration and 
Refugee Assistance'', $3,000,000 be made available for 
assistance for community-based organizations operating in 
Thailand to provide food, medical and other humanitarian 
assistance to internally displaced persons in eastern Burma. 
The conferees recommend $4,000,000 for the Burma Border 
Consortium.
      The conferees affirm that the responsibility for programs 
and activities regarding Burmese refugees and internally 
displaced persons resides with the United States Ambassador to 
Thailand.
      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate restricting assistance to the central 
government of any country that is a major provider of weapons 
or defense-related equipment to the State Peace and Development 
Council (SPDC). The House did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate restricting funding for the United 
Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The House did not 
address this matter. The conferees remain concerned by reports 
that the UNODC in Burma is failing to report to other relevant 
United Nations organizations incidents of gross human rights 
violations encountered during the conduct of its programs in 
Burma.
Sec. 531. Financial Market Assistance in Transition Countries
      The conference agreement includes a provision as proposed 
by the House which requires not less than $40,000,000 should be 
made available for building capital markets and financial 
systems in countries in transition. The conferees agree that 
the Secretary of State should direct that at least $30,000,000 
for this purpose come from accounts under the State 
Department's control.
Sec. 532. Authorities for the Peace Corps, Inter-American Foundation 
        and African Development Foundation
      The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by 
the Senate (section 6032), and similar to that proposed by the 
House (section 532), which states that provisions of this Act 
or any other Act, shall not be construed to prohibit certain 
activities of the Peace Corps Act, the Inter-American 
Foundation Act or the African Development Foundation Act.
Sec. 534. Special Authorities
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 534) and Senate 
(section 6034) which provides special authorities as follows:
      In subsection (a), the conference agreement includes 
language proposed by the Senate which provides certain 
authority for assistance for Afghanistan, Pakistan, Montenegro, 
Lebanon, assistance to victims of war, displaced Burmese, and 
Iraq. The House did not include Iraq in the list of countries 
and provided the funds with more limited authorities.
      In subsection (b), the conference agreement provides that 
funds appropriated for tropical forestry and biodiversity 
conservation activities may be used notwithstanding any other 
provision of law, the same as current law and as proposed by 
the Senate. The House provided that these funds may be used 
notwithstanding any provision of law that restricts assistance 
to foreign countries.
      In subsection (c), the conference agreement provides 
authority for employment of personal services contractors in 
the United States by USAID notwithstanding any other provision 
of law, the same as current law and as proposed by the Senate. 
The House bill did not provide this authority.
      The conference agreement does not include subsection (f) 
as proposed by both the House and Senate which addressed 
section 451(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The 
conferees agree instead to include language proposed by the 
Senate (section 6114) which extends until 2007 the application 
of law making certain Vietnamese nationals eligible for 
resettlement in the United States.
      In subsection (h), the conference agreement includes 
$10,000,000 for a contribution to the World Food Program from 
funds managed by USAID's Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and 
Humanitarian Assistance, as proposed by the Senate. The funds 
are made available notwithstanding any other provision of law 
as proposed by the Senate. The House proposed a $6,000,000 
contribution.
      The conference agreement does not include subsection (i) 
as proposed by the House and Senate which addressed 
availability of funds for the National Endowment for Democracy. 
The conferees agree to address this issue in the ``Democracy 
Fund'' appropriation heading in title II of this Act.
      In subsection (i), the conference agreement includes 
language similar to that proposed by the Senate that provides 
$5,000,000 for American educational institutions in the 
People's Republic of China. The House did not address this 
issue.
      In subsection (j), the conference agreement includes 
language similar to that proposed by the Senate which addresses 
assistance to Pakistan in accordance with requirements 
contained in Public Law 107-57. The House did not address this 
issue. The conferees agree to include language that extends the 
``sunset provision'' contained in Public Law 107-57.
      In subsection (k), the conference agreement includes 
language similar to that proposed by the Senate that addresses 
the establishment of a Middle East Foundation. The House did 
not address this issue. The conference agreement establishes 
the Foundation with a limitation on United States contributions 
of $35,000,000 and the requirement that United States 
contributions to the Foundation be matched by grants from other 
donors.
      In subsection (l), the conference agreement includes 
language proposed by the Senate that amends sections 
21(h)(1)(A) and 21(h)(2) of the Arms Export Control Act and 
section 541 of the Foreign Assistance Act. The House did not 
address this issue.
      In subsection (m), the conference agreement includes 
language proposed by the Senate which extends authorities for 
refugee status for certain peoples of the Soviet Union, 
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The House did not address this 
issue.
      The conference agreement does not include a provision 
proposed by the Senate that made funds available for 
administrative expenses of USAID with respect to programs in 
the West Bank and Gaza. The House did not address this issue. 
The conferees agree to address this issue in the ``Economic 
Support Funds'' appropriation heading in title II of this Act.
Sec. 536. Eligibility for Assistance
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 536) and Senate 
(section 6036) which applies restrictions contained in this or 
any other Act with respect to assistance for a country.
Sec. 537. Reservation of Funds
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 537) and Senate 
(section 6037) which provides that certain funds may be 
reprogrammed under certain conditions notwithstanding any other 
provision of this or any other Act.
Sec. 539. Prohibition on Publicity or Propaganda
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 539) and Senate 
(section 6039) prohibiting the use of funds for publicity or 
propaganda purposes. The conferees have modified the section to 
provide that not to exceed $25,000 may be made available to 
carry out the provisions of section 316 of Public Law 96-533, 
instead of $750,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees 
agree to reconsider funding for this purpose next year.
Sec. 542. Prohibition on Assistance to Foreign Governments that Export 
        Lethal Military Equipment to Countries Supporting International 
        Terrorism
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 542) and Senate 
(section 6042) which prohibits funds in this Act from being 
made available to any foreign government that provides lethal 
military equipment to certain countries.
Sec. 546. Landmines
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 546) and Senate 
(section 6046) which provides the same authority in current law 
regarding the provision of demining equipment notwithstanding 
any other provision of law.
Sec. 549. Haiti
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 549) and Senate 
(section 6049), modified to address language proposed by the 
House in section 583, ``Prohibition on Certain International 
Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement Assistance to the 
Government of Haiti.''
      The conferees agree to include language similar to that 
proposed by the Senate which establishes a total funding level 
of $116,215,000 as requested from the following accounts: 
``Child Survival and Health Programs Fund'', ``Development 
Assistance'', ``Economic Support Fund'', ``International 
Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement'', ``Foreign Military 
Financing Program'', and ``International Military Education and 
Training''.
      The conferees agree to include language similar to that 
proposed by the House in section 583, revised to address the 
specific issues associated with the Haitian National Police 
(HNP). The conferees are concerned about members of the Haitian 
National Police or other individuals unlawfully using weapons, 
ammunition, and other lethal materiel that has been provided or 
sold by the United States Government and therefore require the 
certification included in section 549(c). The conferees 
understand that investigations into extrajudicial killings and 
other alleged incidents of human rights abuses by the police 
are currently underway but severely limited by the lack of 
investigative capacity within the HNP. The conferees request 
that not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this 
Act, the State Department report to the appropriate 
congressional committees the findings of these investigations, 
including information on whether any United States-supplied or 
provided weapon or ammunition was used during those incidents.
      The conference agreement does not include a provision 
proposed by the Senate requiring a report prior to funds being 
made available to support elections in Haiti. The conferees 
direct the Secretary of State to submit a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations within 30 days of enactment of the 
Act which (1) describes in detail the steps taken by the 
Haitian Transitional Government and the United Nations 
Stabilization Mission to provide adequate security to permit 
free and fair elections with broad based participation by all 
political parties, and to demobilize, disarm and reintegrate 
armed groups, and (2) provides an assessment of the 
effectiveness of such steps.
Sec. 551. Limitation on Assistance to Security Forces
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 551) and Senate 
(section 6051) which prohibits funds in this Act from being 
provided to any unit of security forces if there is credible 
evidence of human rights violations.
Sec. 554. Cambodia
      The conference agreement includes language similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 554) and Senate (section 
6054) which addresses assistance for Cambodia.
      The conference agreement does not include language as 
proposed by the House regarding international financial 
institution loans to the central Government of Cambodia.
      The conference agreement includes language similar to 
that proposed by the Senate which prohibits assistance for the 
central Government of Cambodia with the exception of assistance 
for certain programs; makes $15,000,000 available for 
activities to support democracy, rule of law, and human rights, 
including democratic political parties; and, provides such 
assistance notwithstanding section 541 of the Foreign 
Assistance Act.
Sec. 556. Colombia
      The conference agreement includes language similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 556) and Senate (section 
6056), and similar to current law which conditions the 
provision of assistance to the Colombian Armed Forces.
      The conference agreement does not include a Senate 
provision requiring prior consultation with the Office of the 
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Colombia 
and with the appropriate congressional committees. The 
conferees expect the Secretary of State, prior to making the 
certifications required by this paragraph, to consider the 
opinion of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner 
for Human Rights in Colombia regarding the conditions in 
section 556(a)(2) of this Act and to consult with the 
Committees on Appropriations.
Sec. 559. West Bank and Gaza Program
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 559) and Senate 
(section 6059) which addresses funds available for the West 
Bank and Gaza Program, including a provision proposed by the 
House which requires the Comptroller General of the United 
States to conduct an audit of fiscal year 2006 funds and a 
provision proposed by the Senate which requires the Secretary 
of State to submit a report required in section 2106 of chapter 
2 of title II of Public Law 109-13.
Sec. 560. Contribution to the United Nations Population Fund
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 560) and Senate 
(section 6060) which addresses limitations on contributions for 
the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), amended to provide $34,000,000 
from the ``International Organizations and Programs'' (IOP) 
account and the ``Child Survival and Health Programs Fund'' 
account, of which $22,500,000 shall be derived from IOP and 
shall be made available for the UNFPA.
      The agreement does not include language proposed by the 
Senate which provided for exceptions to the limitations on the 
use of funds.
Sec. 563. Funding for Serbia
      The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by 
the Senate (section 6063), and similar to that proposed by the 
House (section 563), which restricts assistance for the central 
government of Serbia, after May 31, 2006, for certain specified 
conditions.
Sec. 565. Special Debt Relief for the Poorest
      The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by 
the Senate (section 6065), and similar to that proposed by the 
House (section 565), which provides the President authority to 
reduce debt owed to the United States as a result of certain 
guarantees. The conferees agree to include language proposed by 
the Senate that extends debt reduction to obligations for 
purchases of United States agricultural commodities under 
export credit guarantee programs. The House did not address 
this issue.
Sec. 566. Authority To Engage in Debt Buybacks or Sales
      The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by 
the Senate (section 6066) and similar to a provision proposed 
by the House (section 566), which provides the same authority 
in current law to engage in debt buybacks or sales 
notwithstanding any other provision of law. The House limited 
this authority to notwithstanding any provision of law that 
restricts assistance to foreign countries.
Sec. 567. Basic Education
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 567), which provides not 
less than $465,000,000 from title II for basic education, 
including a total of $365,000,000 from the ``Development 
Assistance'' account. The conferees note this is $65,000,000 
above the fiscal year 2005 level.
      The conferees are aware of the need for programs in the 
developing world that increase access to quality education, 
including by removing financial impediments to attending 
school, training teachers, developing curricula, improving 
physical plant, and making school supplies more available. The 
conferees note that a number of developing nations have 
committed to achieving universal basic education by 2015, and 
that the World Bank Fast Track Initiative, to which the United 
States is a party, has identified certain countries for which 
this goal may be within reach with adequate donor support and 
technical assistance. The conferees want to ensure that the 
$65,000,000 increase in funding for fiscal year 2006 is 
programmed to achieve the maximum and most dramatic results in 
a select number of countries, and direct USAID to program the 
increase only after consultation with the Committees on 
Appropriations.
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House requiring the Comptroller General of 
the United States to prepare an analysis of United States-
funded international basic education programs within six months 
of enactment. The conferees provide $250,000 for this purpose. 
The conferees refer the Comptroller General to the provisions 
in House section 567 detailing what should be included in the 
analysis. The conferees also direct the Comptroller General to 
include an analysis of the staffing needs of United States 
Government agencies to carry out international basic education 
assistance programs and a description and analysis of United 
States Government contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements 
that are designed to achieve the goals of the basic education 
assistance program.
      The conferees also agree to provide $15,000,000 in basic 
education funding to expand and extend a pilot project to 
increase access to basic education by addressing the 
prohibitive fees that keep children, and particularly girls, 
out of school.
Sec. 568. Reconciliation Programs
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 568) and Senate (section 
6068) which provides $15,000,000 in ESF assistance for 
reconciliation programs and does not include a Senate proposal 
to make these funds available notwithstanding any other 
provision of law.
Sec. 569. Sudan
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 569) and Senate (section 
6069) which addresses assistance to Sudan, providing up to 
$70,000,000 under ``Development Assistance'' for Sudan, of 
which $6,000,000 may be made available to USAID for 
administrative expenses.
      The conference agreement includes subsection (b)(1) as in 
the Senate bill, limiting the availability of funds, and 
subsection (e) as in the House bill, defining certain regions 
as ``outside of control of the Government of Sudan''.
Sec. 570. Trade Capacity Building
      The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by 
the House (section 570) which makes not less than $522,000,000 
available for trade capacity building assistance from several 
accounts in title II of this Act and $20,000,000 from ESF for 
labor and environmental capacity building activities relating 
to the Central America Free Trade Agreement. The Senate did not 
address this issue.
Sec. 572. Zimbabwe
      The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by 
the Senate (section 6078) which requires the Secretary of the 
Treasury to take certain actions with respect to loans to the 
Government of Zimbabwe. The House did not address this issue.
Sec. 573. Gender-Based Violence Training
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 573) which addresses the 
use of funds to provide training for foreign police, judicial, 
and military officials, modified to state that such training 
shall be provided where appropriate.
Sec. 574. Limitation on Economic Support Fund Assistance for Certain 
        Foreign Governments That Are Parties to the International 
        Criminal Court
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 574), amended to include a 
provision similar to that proposed by the Senate (section 
6086).
      The conferees agree to language proposed by the House 
which addresses assistance for countries that are party to the 
International Criminal Court that have not entered into an 
agreement with the United States pursuant to Article 98 of the 
Rome Statute. The conferees further agree to include as 
subsection (e), the Senate provision (section 6086), amended to 
delete reference to IMET funds.
Sec. 575. Tibet
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 575) and Senate 
(section 6079) which provides that of the funds appropriated to 
the ``Economic Support Fund'' account, not less than $4,000,000 
should be made available to nongovernmental organizations which 
preserve cultural traditions and promote sustainable 
development and environmental conservation in Tibetan 
communities.
      The conference agreement also provides that these funds 
be made available notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
the same as current law and as proposed by the Senate. The 
House proposed that these funds be made available 
notwithstanding any other provision of law that restricts 
assistance to foreign countries.
      The conference agreement provides that $250,000 should be 
made available for human rights and democracy programs through 
the National Endowment for Democracy, as proposed by the 
Senate. The House did not address this issue.
Sec. 576. Central America
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 576), amended to include 
language similar to that proposed by the Senate (section 6092).
      The conferees agree to include language proposed by the 
House which provides that of the funds appropriated by this Act 
under the headings ``Child Survival and Health Programs Fund'' 
and ``Development Assistance'', not less than the amount of 
funds initially allocated pursuant to section 653(a) of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 for fiscal year 2005 should be 
made available for El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and 
Honduras. The conferees direct that USAID not fund these 
increases from other fiscal year 2006 programs in the Western 
Hemisphere.
      The conferees further agree to include language similar 
to that proposed by the Senate in section 6092, which provides 
not less than $1,500,000 for electoral assistance, media and 
civil society programs, and activities to combat corruption and 
strengthen democracy in Nicaragua and not less than $1,500,000 
for programs and activities to combat organized crime, crimes 
of violence specifically targeting women and corruption in 
Guatemala.
Sec. 577. United States Agency for International Development Management

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 577) which provides certain 
authorities to USAID. The conferees agree to continue authority 
that enables USAID to hire Foreign Service Limited employees to 
replace on a one-for-one basis individuals who were employed by 
USAID under other authorities, such as Personal Services 
Contracts (PSCs). To ensure that relatively junior Foreign 
Service Officers have an early opportunity to gain valuable 
overseas experience, the conferees provide $10,000,000 to pay 
for such indirect costs as housing and transportation. These 
costs are routinely covered for PSCs and paid out of program 
accounts. In using these authorities, USAID should achieve 
annualized savings in administrative costs, including an 
estimated $4,000,000 in fiscal year 2007. The conferees direct 
USAID to provide baseline data on administrative costs so these 
annual savings can be verified and tracked.
      The conference agreement includes language under this 
section that allows USAID to use program funds to cover the 
costs of staff working to mitigate the effects of natural 
disasters. The conferees note that this authority should be 
used sparingly and only when necessary to enable USAID to cope 
with the consequences of natural disasters, such as those on 
the scale of Hurricane Mitch in Central America in 1998.
Sec. 578. HIPC Debt Reduction
      The conference agreement includes a provision as proposed 
by the House (section 578) which addresses HIPC debt reduction. 
The Senate did not address this matter.
Sec. 579. OPIC Transfer Authority

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

      The conference agreement includes a provision as proposed 
by the House (section 579), which authorizes the transfer of 
funds under title II of this Act to OPIC for certain purposes. 
The Senate did not address this matter.
Sec. 580. Limitation on Funds Relating to Attendance of Federal 
        Employees at Conferences Occurring Outside the United States
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by both the House (section 585) and Senate 
(section 6124) which prohibits funds for attendance of more 
than 50 employees at any single conference occurring outside 
the United States, modified to clarify that the prohibition 
applies to employees stationed in the United States attending 
international conferences.
Sec. 581. Limitation On Assistance To Foreign Countries That Refuse To 
        Extradite To The United States Any Individual Accused In The 
        United States Of Killing A Law Enforcement Officer
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 587) which prohibits funds 
for assistance under certain conditions associated with 
extradition of certain individuals, modified to provide a 
waiver of the restriction when the Secretary of State certifies 
to the Committees on Appropriations that such a restriction is 
contrary to the national interest of the United States.
Sec. 582. Prohibition Against Direct Funding for Saudi Arabia
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 588) which prohibits 
assistance to Saudi Arabia, modified to reflect current law.
Sec. 583. Governments That Have Failed To Permit Certain Extraditions
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the House (section 590) and Senate (section 
6129) which prohibits funds for assistance under certain 
conditions when governments fail to permit the extradition of 
certain individuals, modified to provide a waiver of the 
restriction when the Secretary of State certifies to the 
Committees on Appropriations that such a restriction is 
contrary to the national interest of the United States.
Sec. 584. Reporting Requirements
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6067) which requires a 
quarterly report on the uses of fiscal year 2006 funds for 
``Foreign Military Financing'', ``International Military 
Education and Training'' and ``Peacekeeping Operations'', 
modified to change the date of the first report to April 1, 
2006 and remove the reference to ``hereafter.''
Sec. 585. Environment Programs
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6074) which addresses 
environment programs. The conference agreement also includes 
language similar to that proposed by the Senate with respect to 
the submission of the climate change report. The conferees 
expect that, pursuant to the August 2005 Government 
Accountability Office report (GAO-05-461), OMB and the Climate 
Change Science Program (CCSP) will explain in detail any 
changes in the Administration's annual climate change report 
content and format since fiscal year 2002. The conferees expect 
OMB and the CCSP to develop crosswalk tables to compare new and 
old report structures, definitions, categories, content, and 
format to ensure better assessment of changes in spending over 
time, specifically by agency and category. In addition, the 
conferees direct OMB in its fiscal year 2007 report to transmit 
information in the form of budget authority, expenditures, and 
obligations as has been consistently required by the Congress.
      The conference agreement contains a subsection similar to 
current law and the Senate proposal regarding extractive 
industries and the international financial institutions. The 
House did not address this matter.
Sec. 586. Uzbekistan
      The conference agreement includes a provision as proposed 
by the Senate (section 6075) and similar to current law.
Sec. 587. Central Asia
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6076) regarding assistance 
to Central Asia.
Sec. 588. Disability Programs
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6077) making available 
$4,000,000 in ESF for programs and activities administered by 
USAID to address the needs and protect the rights of people 
with disabilities in developing countries. Of this amount, the 
conferees direct that $1,500,000 be made available to 
organizations that specialize in advocacy for people with 
disabilities, to support training, technical, and related 
assistance for foreign NGOs that work primarily on behalf of 
people with disabilities in developing countries, and 
$2,500,000 be made available for equipment and other assistance 
for such foreign NGOs.
Sec. 589. Discrimination Against Minority Religious Faiths in the 
        Russian Federation
      The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by 
the Senate (section 6080) regarding assistance for the Russian 
Federation. The House did not address this matter.
Sec. 590. War Crimes in Africa
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6081), requiring a 
certification by the Secretary of State before any funding may 
be made available to the central government of any country in 
which a person indicted by the Special Court for Sierra Leone 
or International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda is living.
      The conferees believe that Charles Taylor should stand 
trial for the crimes for which he has been indicted. In 
subsection (d), the conferees require a report by the President 
outlining the Administration's strategy for working with the 
Government of Nigeria to turn over Charles Taylor to the 
Special Court for Sierra Leone. If that report has not been 
received by 120 days following enactment of this Act, no 
funding may be made available for the central Government of 
Nigeria. This restriction is not intended to include support 
provided for peacekeeping operations in other countries.
Sec. 591. Security in Asia
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6084) which (1) specifies 
military assistance for a number of countries in Asia; (2) 
makes funds available for the Philippines to address critical 
deficiencies identified in the Joint Defense Assessment of 
2003; (3) permits funding for the Indonesian Navy, subject to 
the notification of the Committees on Appropriations; and (4) 
makes funds available for Cambodia notwithstanding certain 
provisions of this Act.
      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate with respect to Nepal in this provision. 
These requirements are addressed in section 592.
Sec. 592. Nepal
      The conference agreement includes a new provision similar 
to language proposed by the Senate in subsection (e) of section 
6084 which addressed Nepal.
      For purposes of determining whether the conditions for 
certification have been met, the conferees intend that ``civil 
liberties'' include due process under law, freedoms of speech, 
the press and association, and the right of movement; and 
``protecting human rights'' includes (1) the release of all 
political detainees including those detained before February 1, 
2005; (2) granting civilian prosecutors and judicial 
authorities, the National Human Rights Commission of Nepal 
(NHRC), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for 
Human Rights in Nepal, and international humanitarian 
organizations, unannounced and unimpeded access to all 
detainees, places of detention, witnesses, relevant documents 
and other requested information, and cooperating with these 
entities to identify and resolve all security related cases 
involving persons in government custody; (3) complying with 
international humanitarian law and ending torture, 
extrajudicial killings and other gross violations of human 
rights, and prosecuting and punishing individuals responsible 
for such violations; (4) restoring the independence of the NHRC 
in accordance with constitutional provisions, including 
providing adequate funding and staff; (5) complying with habeas 
corpus orders issued by Nepal's courts including all 
outstanding orders, and the security forces are respecting such 
orders; and (6) ensuring that the Commission for Investigation 
of Abuse of Authority is receiving adequate support to 
effectively implement its mandate and that no other anti-
corruption body is functioning in violation of the 1990 
Constitution or contrary to due process.
Sec. 593. Neglected Diseases
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6094) which allocates 
$15,000,000 of the ``Child Survival and Health Programs Fund'' 
to fight neglected diseases. The conferees recognize that a 
multilateral initiative may be the most effective mechanism for 
leveraging and coordinating with additional contributions from 
other donors. The Administrator of USAID should consult with 
the Committees on Appropriations before a mechanism is chosen. 
Until such a mechanism is available, the Administrator should 
develop and implement the program through existing bilateral 
and multilateral mechanisms.
Sec. 594. Orphans, Displaced and Abandoned Children
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6095) which provides not 
less than $3,000,000 for activities to improve the capacity of 
foreign government agencies and NGOs to prevent child 
abandonment, address the needs of orphans, displaced and 
abandoned children and provide permanent homes through family 
reunification, guardianship and domestic adoptions.
Sec. 595. Advisor for Indigenous Peoples Issues
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6097) that requires USAID 
to appoint an Advisor for Indigenous Peoples Issues.
Sec. 596. Statement
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6112) which requires that 
funds in the specified accounts be allocated as indicated in 
the respective tables in this statement of the managers. Any 
change to these allocations is subject to the regular 
reprogramming procedures of the Committees on Appropriations.
Sec. 597. Combatting Piracy of United States Copyrighted Materials
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6115) regarding the use of 
funds under the heading ``International Narcotics Control and 
Law Enforcement'' to combat piracy of United States copyrighted 
materials overseas.
Sec. 598. Malaria
      The conference agreement includes a provision, similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6125) which addresses 
malaria. The House did not address this matter. Further 
discussion of malaria is under ``Child Survival and Health 
Programs Fund''.
Sec. 599. Oversight of Iraq Reconstruction
      The conference agreement includes a provision, similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6131) which addresses 
authorities and funding for the Special Inspector General for 
Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR), amended to extend the period of 
oversight for the SIGIR without providing additional funds as 
proposed by the Senate.
      The conferees endorse oversight of United States 
reconstruction efforts in Iraq and therefore support the work 
of the SIGIR. The conferees intend that programs and operations 
of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) that had been 
within the oversight jurisdiction of the Coalition Provisional 
Authority Inspector General (CPA-IG) remain within the 
jurisdiction of its successor, SIGIR. The conferees understand 
that SIGIR has sufficient funds to carry out its activities 
through fiscal year 2006 and expect any additional funds 
necessary to complete SIGIR's work in fiscal year 2007 will be 
included in the fiscal year 2007 budget request for 
consideration in the fiscal year 2007 appropriations process.
      With respect to Iraq's reconstruction, the conferees note 
the importance of an open and transparent process in developing 
projects, issuing contracts and fulfilling those contracts 
currently underway. The conferees encourage the State 
Department and the Defense Department to consider current 
proposals to use advanced software programs that provide 
solutions for soliciting contracts and ensuring that the 
bidding process is transparent and accountable.
      The conferees are aware of a joint proposal by the Sabre 
Foundation and the Harvard Committee on Iraqi Libraries to 
enhance the quality and quantity of Iraqi university library 
collections. The conferees urge the State Department, working 
with other donors, to enhance and strengthen higher education 
in Iraq.
Sec. 599A. Nonproliferation and Counterproliferation Efforts
      The conference agreement includes a provision similar to 
that proposed by the Senate (section 6134) which makes NADR 
funds available for certain nonproliferation and 
counterproliferation efforts, but does not include the 
reference to the Cooperative Threat Reduction program and the 
National Counter Proliferation Center as proposed by the 
Senate. The House did not address this matter.
Sec. 599B. Promotion of Policy Goals at Multilateral Development Banks
      The conference agreement includes a provision, similar to 
that proposed by the Senate, which amends the International 
Financial Institutions Act by requiring the Secretary of the
