                      TITLE IX--FOREIGN ASSISTANCE

                     Subtitle A--General Provisions

SEC. 901. GOALS OF UNITED STATES ASSISTANCE.

  (a) Goals of Assistance.--United States foreign assistance should be 
designed to further the national interests of the United States by 
achieving the following interrelated and mutually-reinforcing goals:
          (1) Reduce global poverty and alleviate human suffering.
          (2) Advance peace and mitigate crises.
          (3) Support human rights and democracy.
          (4) Build and reinforce strategic partnerships.
          (5) Combat transnational threats.
          (6) Sustain the global environment.
          (7) Expand prosperity through trade and investment.
  (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) In December 2007, the United States Government's 
        Commission on Helping to Enhance the Lives of Poor People 
        Around the Globe, also known as the ``HELP Commission,'' 
        reported that sustained economic growth is vital and necessary 
        for a country to feed, educate, house and provide for the 
        health of its citizens over the long term and that ``foreign 
        assistance alone is not sufficient to help developing countries 
        achieve long-term, sustainable economic growth''.
          (2) Private sector-led trade and investment are fundamental 
        components of economic development and growth.
          (3) The United States Agency for International Development's 
        Global Development Alliance program characterizes the rising 
        importance of private resources and private actors as 
        development tools in an expanding and more integrated 
        globalized economy, aligning public resources with private 
        capital through the establishment of public-private 
        partnerships for the economic advancement of impoverished 
        countries.
          (4) In an increasingly interdependent world, the health, 
        prosperity, freedom, and security of the people of the United 
        States are strengthened when the people of all countries can 
        enjoy these same advantages.
          (5) United States foreign assistance should be designed to 
        help build the capacity of other countries to meet the needs of 
        their people and to conduct themselves responsibly in the 
        international system.
          (6) Foreign assistance is not only a reflection of the 
        values, generosity, and goodwill of the people of the United 
        States, but also an essential means for achieving United States 
        foreign policy, economic, and national security objectives.
  (c) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States 
to--
          (1) help build and sustain an international community 
        composed of states that meet basic human needs, resolve 
        conflicts peacefully, respect fundamental human rights, 
        cooperate to address issues that transcend national boundaries, 
        use wisely the world's limited resources in a sustainable 
        manner, and work toward the achievement of economic well-being 
        for all people;
          (2) emphasize the development of innovative partnerships 
        between governments and organizations in the private sector 
        (including corporations, foundations, universities, faith-based 
        organizations, and other nongovernmental organizations) in the 
        approach to and distribution of foreign assistance; and
          (3) focus United States assistance programs on achieving 
        sustainable economic growth and graduating United States aid 
        recipients into a trade-based relationship with the United 
        States.

SEC. 902. GUIDELINES FOR UNITED STATES FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS.

the Secretary of State, the Administrator of the United States Agency 
for International Development, the head of the Millennium Challenge 
Corporation, and the Secretary of Defense, shall establish guidelines

        the evaluation of projects, the evaluation of program impacts, 
        and analysis that is necessary for the identification of 
        findings, generalizations that can be derived from those 
        findings, and their applicability to proposed project and 
        program design.
          (2) Objectives.--Specifically, the guidelines shall provide 
        direction on how to achieve the following objectives for 
        monitoring and evaluation programs:
                  (A) Building measurable goals, performance metrics 
                and monitoring and evaluation into program design at 
                the outset, including the provision of sufficient 
                program resources to conduct monitoring and evaluation.
                  (B) Disseminating guidelines for the development and 
                implementation of monitoring and evaluation programs to 
                all personnel, especially in the field, who are 
                responsible for the design, implementation and

the Administrator shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees a report that contains a detailed description of the

              Subtitle B--Authorizations of Appropriations

SEC. 911. BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE.

  (a) In General.--Not more than $21,207,400,000 is authorized to be 
appropriated to the President for ``Bilateral Economic Assistance'' for 
fiscal year 2012.
  (b) Development Credit Authority.--
          (1) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                  (A) access to financial services for underserved 
                populations and sectors in developing countries is 
                essential to expanding economic opportunities for poor 
                households and small businesses to build assets and 
                invest in enterprise development and growth; and
                  (B) the Development Credit Authority, through the 
                issuance of partial loan guarantees, has proven to be a 
                vital and effective tool in bolstering microenterprise 
                development in impoverished countries by reducing the 
                risk of private investors and financial institutions 
                that invest in underserved sectors or creditworthy 
                borrowers that otherwise would not qualify for such 
                loans.
          (2) Limitation on authorization of appropriations.--Of the 
        amounts authorized to be appropriated under subsection (a), not 
        more than $8,300,000 is authorized to be appropriated to the

        more than $900,000,000 is authorized to be appropriated to the 
        President for necessary expenses to carry out the provisions of 
        the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 for fiscal year 2012.
          (2) Maintaining candidate status for purposes of income 
        category.--Section 606 of the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 
        (22 U.S.C. 7705) is amended--
                  (A) by redesignating subsection (c) as subsection 
                (d); and
                  (B) by inserting after subsection (b) the following:
  ``(c) Maintaining Candidate Status.--Any candidate country whose per 
capita income changes in a given fiscal year such that the country's 
income-classification as `low income' or `lower middle income' changes, 
should retain its candidacy at the former income category only for the 
year of such transition.''.
  (d) Democracy Fund.--Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated 
under subsection (a), not more than $115,000,000 is authorized to be

democracy globally for fiscal year 2012.

programs for fiscal year 2012.

SEC. 915. PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN BUSINESSES AND POSTSECONDARY EDUCATIONAL 
                    INSTITUTIONS IN AFRICA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) There is a growing need in developing countries in Africa 
        to educate and properly train future business leaders in such a 
        way to help them adapt to the demanding complexities of 
        leadership.
          (2) This growing need has led to the call for Africa to 
        develop and train the next generation of leaders that will 
        bring Africa forward into a peaceful and prosperous new century 
        and ensure that democracy lasts across the continent.
          (3) One of the ways to help train the next generation of 
        leaders is through entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurship 
        may be one of the most important channels through which 
        education raises economic productivity.
          (4) All youth should be provided with the access to any and 
        all opportunities to develop skills, attitudes, and abilities 
        that are needed in later life that can lead to entrepreneurship 
        and leadership.
          (5) One of the goals of educators should be to train students 
        to become self-employed after graduation and produce the goods 
        and services that are needed locally, thereby initiating 
        significant internal economic activity.
          (6) It is important that the youth be assisted to achieve 
        higher levels of access and entry into the economy as 
        potentially self-employed people since there are simply not 
        enough employment opportunities within the private and public 
        sectors for them all.
          (7) Business and management education is especially critical 
        in Africa where, in the face of huge shortages in both the 
        private and public sectors, only 50 business schools exist to 
        serve nearly 800 million people, compared with 1,000 business 
        schools in India and 1,200 in the United States.
          (8) While many institutions in Africa do offer a business 
        certificate/degree, the training can lack certain practical 
        elements, which makes it difficult for graduates to readily 
        apply their skills in the real-world.
          (9) Educational institutions are not rapidly responding to 
        this urgent challenge.
  (b) Partnerships Between Businesses and Postsecondary Educational 
Institutions in Africa.--Chapter 1 of part I of the Foreign Assistance 
Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151 et seq.) is amended by inserting after 
section 105 the following new section:

``SEC. 105A. ASSISTANCE TO ESTABLISH PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN BUSINESSES 
                    AND POSTSECONDARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN 
                    DEVELOPING COUNTRIES IN AFRICA.

  ``(a) Assistance Authorized.--The President, acting through the 
Administrator of the United States Agency for International 
Development, is authorized to provide assistance, on such terms and 
conditions as the President may determine, to establish partnerships 
between businesses and postsecondary educational institutions in 
developing countries in Africa to further the education and 
entrepreneurship skills of students at such institutions in order to 
increase economic freedom and competitiveness, promote civil society, 
and improve the quality of life in such countries.
  ``(b) Activities Supported.--Assistance provided under subsection (a) 
shall, to the maximum extent practicable, be used to--
          ``(1) enable students at postsecondary educational 
        institutions in developing countries in Africa to practice in 
        the field what they are learning in the classroom and thereby 
        acquire relevant business and management experience;
          ``(2) provide opportunities for individuals in developing 
        countries in Africa who are unable to receive a formal 
        education to benefit from the transfer of knowledge and skills 
        by students described in paragraph (1); and
          ``(3) carry out other appropriate activities, including--
                  ``(A) training students described in paragraph (1) 
                and faculty to build sustainable programs;
                  ``(B) institutionalizing and promoting sustainability 
                of program leadership;
                  ``(C) supporting the launch and development of new 
                in-country operations;
                  ``(D) investing in other United States assistance 
                programs for long-term sustainability and support of 
                African programs; and
                  ``(E) demonstrating results and sharing best 
                practices.
  ``(c) Report.--The President shall transmit to Congress a report on 
the implementation of this section for each of the fiscal years 2012 
through 2016. The report shall include an assessment of the impact of 
the assistance provided under subsection (a) and an analysis of the 
extent to which such assistance could be provided in other regions of 
the world.''.

                       PART I--GENERAL PROVISIONS

                    INDICATOR.

  (a) Restriction.--Except as provided in subsection (b), no United 
States economic or development assistance authorized to be appropriated

Act of 2003.
  (b) Waiver.--The President may waive the restriction on assistance 
under subsection (a) on a case-by-case basis for a period of not more

          (2) the President provides to the appropriate congressional 
        committees at least 15 days prior to exercising the waiver a 
        report on concrete steps that the recipient country has 
        undertaken to meet the corruption benchmarks and on United 
        States implementation and enforcement of end-use monitoring 
        mechanisms in the country to ensure United States assistance 
        provided is being used as intended.
  (c) Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined.--In this section, 
the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' means--
          (1) the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on 
        Appropriations of the House of Representatives; and
          (2) the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on 
        Appropriations of the Senate.

                    THE UNITED NATIONS.

  (a) Prohibition.--None of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
this Act or any amendment made by this Act may be provided as bilateral 
economic assistance to a foreign government that opposed the position 
of the United States in the United Nations.
  (b) Definitions.--In this section--
          (1) the term ``opposed the position of the United States'' 
        means, in the case of a country, that the country's recorded 
        votes in the United Nations General Assembly during the most 
        recent session of the General Assembly and, in the case of a 
        country which is a member of the United Nations Security 
        Council, the country's recorded votes both in the Security 
        Council and the General Assembly during the most recent session 
        of the General Assembly, were the same as the position of the 
        United States less than 50 percent of the time, using for this 
        purpose a comparison of the recorded vote cast by each member 
        country with the recorded vote cast by the United States, as 
        described in the annual report submitted to Congress pursuant 
        to section 406 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act,

        each member country with the vote cast by the United States is 
        described in the most recent report submitted to Congress 
        pursuant to section 406 of the Foreign Relations Authorization 
        Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991.
  (c) Waiver.--The President may waive the requirements in subsection 
(a) on a case-by-case basis if the President determines and certifies 
to the appropriate congressional committees not less than 15 days prior

SEC. 925. SUPPORT FOR ACTIVITIES OF THE GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE 
                    INITIATIVE.

  None of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or any 
amendment made by this Act may be made available to support activities 
of the Global Climate Change Initiative.

SEC. 926. TRILATERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) During fiscal years 2009 and 2010, the United States 
        Agency for International Development provided the Government of 
        South Africa with $2,500,000 to support the Trilateral 
        Assistance Program, a program through which the Government of 
        South Africa provides technical assistance to third countries 
        in Africa.
          (2) $1,500,000 was requested for fiscal year 2011 and 
        $1,530,000 has been requested for fiscal year 2012.
          (3) South Africa has been recognized, along with Brazil, 
        Russia, India, and China, as having one of the world's largest, 
        rapidly growing economies and has become a donor nation.
          (4) Further, while South Africa still faces enormous 
        development challenges, including one of the highest HIV/AIDS 
        infections rates in the world, this funding is not used to 
        support development programs within South Africa.
          (5) Using the Government of South Africa as a pass-through 
        for foreign assistance made available through the generosity of 
        the American taxpayer diminishes the public diplomacy value of 
        this assistance for the United States, while enhancing South 
        Africa's own standing in the region.
          (6) In a time of domestic financial crisis, continued support 
        for the Trilateral Assistance Program cannot continue.
  (b) Prohibition.--None of the funds authorized to be appropriated 
under section 911(a) may be used to support the Trilateral Assistance 
Program in South Africa.

         PART II--COUNTRY AND ORGANIZATION-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

SEC. 933. PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY.

  Chapter 1 of part III of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is 
amended--
          (1) by redesignating the second section 620J (as added by 
        section 651 of Public Law 110-161) as section 620M; and
          (2) by adding at the end the following:

        the Senate, and the Committees on Foreign Affairs of the House 
        of Representatives and Foreign Relations of the Senate that 
        leaders of the Palestinian Authority or any caretaker or

        negotiations with the State of Israel, and are not pursuing

          ``(2) if the President is unable to make such a 
        certification, the President shall transmit to the individuals

        committees described in subsection (b)(1) a report detailing--
                  ``(A) the justification for the waiver, the purposes 
                for which the funds for the Palestinian Authority will 
                be spent, and the reasons the President is unable to 
                make the certification contained in subsection; and
                  ``(B) the steps the Palestinian Authority has taken

                terrorist infrastructure, halt incitement, and to 
                promote peace with the Jewish state of Israel.''.

SEC. 934. SRI LANKA.

  (a) Limitation.--
          (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), none of 
        the funds made available to carry out this Act may be used to 
        provide assistance to Sri Lanka unless a certification 
        described in subsection (b) is in effect.
          (2) Exception.--The limitation on funds under paragraph (1) 
        shall not apply with respect to democracy and governance 
        assistance, humanitarian assistance, and assistance for 
        demining activities.
  (b) Certification.--A certification described in this subsection is a 
certification submitted by the Secretary of State to the appropriate 
congressional committees that contains a determination of the Secretary 
of State that the Government of Sri Lanka is making demonstrable 
progress in the following areas:
          (1) Accountability for those involved in violations of human 
        rights and war crimes at the end of Sri Lanka's civil war in 
        May 2009, including by any remaining members of the Liberation 
        Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
          (2) Reconciliation, including --
                  (A) the establishment of a mechanism to account for 
                events that occurred at the end of the civil war;
                  (B) information from the government on what happened 
                to those missing at the end of the civil war; and

determines that it is in the national interests of the United States to 
do so.

SEC. 935. FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Greece has demonstrated an enormous good will gesture in 
        agreeing that ``Macedonia'' may be included in the future name 
        of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) as long as 
        that term is combined with a geographic qualifier that makes it 
        clear that there are no territorial ambitions on the part of 
        the FYROM with regard to the historical boundaries of the Greek 
        province of Macedonia.
          (2) The FYROM continues to utilize materials that violate 
        provisions of the United Nations-brokered Interim Agreement 
        between the FYROM and Greece regarding incendiary rallies, 
        rhetoric, or propaganda, and United Nations-led negotiations 
        between the FYROM and Greece have so far failed to achieve the 
        longstanding goals of the United States and the United Nations 
        to find a mutually acceptable, new official name for the FYROM.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that all United 
States assistance to the FYROM should be conditioned on the FYROM's 
willingness to engage in meaningful discussions with Greece in 
accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 817.
  (c) Limitation.--The Secretary of State may not use funds authorized 
to be appropriated under this Act for programs and activities that 
directly or indirectly promote incendiary rallies, rhetoric, or 
propaganda by state-controlled agencies of the FYROM or encourage acts 
by private entities likely to incite violence, hatred, or hostility,

SEC. 943. LIMITATION ON USAID TRAINING CONTRACTS UNDER THE MERIDA 
                    INITIATIVE.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) In 2007, the United States and Mexico announced the 
        Merida Initiative, a multi-year partnership to fight organized 
        crime and associated violence while furthering respect for 
        human rights and the rule of law in the region.
          (2) One of the Merida Initiative's four primary goals is to 
        improve the capacity of justice systems in the region.
          (3) In April 2009, USAID/Mexico awarded a 3-year, $44.1 
        million cost-type contract to Management Systems International 
        (MSI) to work with Mexican state and federal justice 
        institutions to strengthen their capacity to improve 
        transparency, public oversight, and public accountability, and 
        better serve Mexican citizens under the new constitutional 
        reforms that shape the police and criminal procedure codes.
          (4) A January 2011 USAID Office of the Inspector General 
        audit determined that the contract mechanism that USAID/Mexico 
        used to award the task order to MSI was not in accordance with 
        procurement regulations, USAID/Mexico's technical officers 
        responsible for the rule of law projects have not effectively 
        carried out all their responsibilities in accordance with USAID 
        policy and internal mission orders, USAID/Mexico's contractor 
        has not developed systems for evaluating the effectiveness of 
        the training it delivers, and USAID/Mexico's reported numbers 
        of beneficiaries trained are not accurate.
  (b) Limitation.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
Administrator of the United States Agency for International 
Development, in awarding contracts during a fiscal year to procure 
training services as part of the Merida Initiative, may not award more 
than 50 percent of the dollar amount of the contracts to one company.
  (c) Merida Initiative Defined.--In this section, the term ``Merida 
Initiative'' means the program announced by the United States and 
Mexico on October 22, 2007, to fight illicit narcotics trafficking and 
criminal organizations throughout the Western Hemisphere.

SEC. 954. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING REDUCING MALARIA PREVALENCE AND 
                    DEATHS.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Malaria is a leading cause of death and disease in many 
        developing countries, despite being completely preventable and 
        treatable.
          (2) According to the Centers for Disease Control and 
        Prevention, 35 countries, the majority of them in sub-Saharan 
        Africa, account for 98 percent of global malaria deaths.
          (3) Young children and pregnant women are particularly 
        vulnerable and disproportionately affected by malaria.
          (4) Malaria greatly affects child health, with estimates that 
        children under the age of 5 account for 85 percent of malaria 
        deaths each year.
          (5) Malaria poses great risks to maternal health, causing 
        complications during delivery, anemia, and low birth weights, 
        with estimates that malaria infection causes 400,000 cases of 
        severe maternal anemia and from 75,000 to 200,000 infant deaths 
        annually in sub-Saharan Africa.
          (6) Heightened national, regional, and international efforts 
        to prevent and treat malaria over recent years have made 
        measurable progress and have helped save hundreds of thousands 
        of lives.
          (7) The World Health Organization's World Malaria Report 2010 
        reports that in 2010, more African households (42 percent) 
        owned at least one insecticide-treated mosquito net (ITN), more 
        children under 5 years of age (35 percent) were using an ITN 
        compared to previous years, and household ITN ownership reached 
        more than 50 percent in 19 African countries.
          (8) The World Health Organization's World Malaria Report 2010 
        further states that a total of 11 countries and one area in the 
        African region showed a reduction of more than 50 percent in 
        either confirmed malaria cases or malaria admissions and deaths 
        in recent years (Algeria, Botswana, Cape Verde, Eritrea, 
        Madagascar, Namibia, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, South 
        Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zanzibar, United Republic of 
        Tanzania), and that in all countries, the decreases are 
        associated with intense malaria control interventions.
          (9) Continued national, regional, and international 
        investment is critical to continue to reduce malaria deaths and 
        to prevent backsliding in those areas where progress has been 
        made.
          (10) The United States Government has played a major 
        leadership role in the recent progress made toward reducing the 
        global burden of malaria, particularly through the President's 
        Malaria Initiative (PMI) and the United States contribution to 
        the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.
          (11) Recognizing the burden of malaria on many partner 
        countries, PMI has set the target for 2015 of reducing the 
        burden of malaria by 50 percent for 450,000,000 people, 
        representing 70 percent of the at-risk population in Africa.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
          (1) supports the achievable target of ending malaria deaths 
        by 2015;
          (2) recognizes the importance of reducing malaria prevalence 
        and deaths to improve overall child and maternal health, 
        especially in sub-Saharan Africa;
          (3) commends the recent progress made toward reducing global 
        malaria deaths and prevalence, particularly through the efforts 
        of the President's Malaria Initiative and the Global Fund to 
        Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria;
          (4) welcomes ongoing public-private partnerships to research 
        and develop more effective and affordable tools for malaria 
        diagnosis, treatment, and vaccination;
          (5) supports continued leadership by the United States in 
        bilateral and multilateral efforts to combat malaria; and
          (6) encourages other members of the international community 
        to sustain and scale up their support and financial 
        contributions for efforts worldwide to combat malaria.

SEC. 955. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING SECOND MCC COMPACT WITH CAPE 
                    VERDE.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) provides 
        access to financial services and helps create sustainability 
        for financial institutions in Cape Verde, both of which are 
        critical components to that country's economic growth.
          (2) The MCC strategy in Cape Verde, a developing nation in 
        which 30 percent of its citizens live below the poverty level, 
        focuses on microfinance development and improved access to 
        credit for farmers.
          (3) The MCC Compact with Cape Verde contributed to e-
        government service by investing in software, equipment, and 
        technical assistance. As a result, the number of days it takes 
        to start a business has decreased from an average of 52 days in 
        2007, to less than one day to do so in 2010.
          (4) Preliminary findings of the MCC Compact with Cape Verde 
        indicate substantial results for farmers receiving assistance 
        through the Agricultural Support Project. For example, 
        following a year of very bad rains, farmers who did not receive 
        MCC assistance experienced a drop in income of 88 percent, 
        while farmers who did receive such assistance faced a decrease 
        of only 18 percent.
          (5) As a result of the MCC Compact with Cape Verde, the 
        following outputs have been completed:
                  (A) The construction of 28 reservoirs.
                  (B) 549 farmers have received training in new 
                technologies.
                  (C) Four participating microfinance institutions have 
                issued $617,000 in rural agricultural loans to 209 
                farmers on agribusiness.
                  (D) Increased financial intermediation and 
                competition in the government securities market and 
                development of the private sector.
                  (E) Eight microfinance institutions have received 
                technical assistance, and capacity-building in 
                accounting, credit appraisal, delivery, collection, 
                human resources management, and marketing.
          (6) As a result of the MCC, Cape Verde is launching its first 
        private credit bureau.
          (7) Because the compact with Cape Verde was among the first 
        MCC compacts approved, a number of unanticipated issues arose 
        regarding timing and design that required rescoping of projects 
        and revision of targets and indicators. Without the ability to 
        extend the compact beyond the 5-year limit, the MCC was unable 
        to provide full support for the activities initially 
        envisioned.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) Cape Verde has demonstrated a commitment to transforming 
        its economy and creating sustainable growth, as well as an 
        ability to effectively utilize the assistance provided by the 
        Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC); and
          (2) a second compact with the MCC would allow Cape Verde to 
        build on the success of its first compact, accelerate economic 
        growth, raise incentives in other countries to maintain high 
        levels of performance on MCC programs, and exemplify the 
        results-based approach to foreign assistance.

SEC. 956. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING MICROFINANCE AND MICROENTERPRISE 
                    PROGRAMS.

  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) access to financial markets is essential to economic 
        growth;
          (2) microfinance and microenterprise programs have been 
        successful in creating and expanding economic opportunities by 
        providing access to financial markets and financial services, 
        such credit, small loans and savings services, to poor and 
        vulnerable populations, particularly women and the rural poor, 
        in developing countries;
          (3) microfinance helps improve economic welfare in poor 
        households, and has been shown to raise borrower income, 
        stimulate the growth of the borrower's business, and generate 
        employment; and
          (4) the United States should support and encourage, wherever 
        possible and appropriate, microfinance and microenterprise 
        development and programs in order to help generate stable 
        economic growth in developing countries.

SEC. 957. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING MICROENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT 
                    ASSISTANCE TO SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA.

  (a) In General.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the United States Agency for International Development 
        should seek to increase the reach, impact, and effectiveness of 
        microenterprise development assistance in sub-Saharan Africa;
          (2) the United States Agency for International Development 
        should target half of all sustainable poverty-focused programs 
        under subsection (a) of section 252 of the Foreign Assistance 
        Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2211a) to the very poor, as required by 
        subsection (c) of such section; and
          (3) the United States Agency for International Development 
        should seek to improve poverty assessment tools used to provide 
        microenterprise development assistance so that the tools can 
        assist the management and outreach of partner organizations to 
        the very poor.
  (b) Definition.--In this section, the term ``microenterprise 
development assistance'' means assistance under title VI of chapter 2 
of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2211 et 
seq.).

  (b) Assistance for Israel.--
          (1) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the

SEC. 1027B. AUDITS OF UNITED STATES ASSISTANCE TO IRAQ.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq 
        Reconstruction (SIGIR) has conducted audits of the activities 
        of the Department of State and the Department of Defense and 
        the United States Agency for International Development in Iraq 
        which have proved invaluable to Congress, senior Administration 
        officials, and the American people.
          (2) SIGIR has authority under existing law to audit all 
        United States-funded reconstruction assistance in Iraq 
        regardless of funding source.
          (3) United States assistance to Iraq, under the conditions 
        now in existence or which may be anticipated to be in existence 
        through December 2012 should be considered to be 
        ``reconstruction assistance''.
          (4) SIGIR's audits of the police training program, and of 
        military assistance through the Iraq Security Forces Fund, have 
        been of particular value.
          (5) SIGIR should audit military, security, and economic 
        assistance to Iraq during the term of SIGIR's existence, 
        including assistance which may be provided under the Foreign 
        Military Financing program or the Police Development Program.
          (6) SIGIR's audits should cover such aspects of assistance 
        programs as may be in the opinion of the Inspector General 
        necessary or desirable under section 6(a) of the Inspector 
        General Act of 1978 or section 3001 of Public Law 108-106, 
        including any programs, activities, or facilities funded in 
        whole or part by amounts made available for assistance to Iraq 
        or which relate to such programs, activities, or facilities.
          (7) SIGIR coordinates its audits with other Inspectors 
        General and the Government Accountability Office to avoid 
        duplication of effort.
          (8) SIGIR should continue to report on United States 
        assistance to Iraq in its Quarterly Reports to Congress.
  (b) Cooperation With SIGIR.--The Secretary of State shall fully and 
unreservedly cooperate with audits conducted by the SIGIR and with any 
information requests which in the opinion of the SIGIR are required to

SEC. 1103. ANTIBOYCOTT PROVISIONS.

  (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Antiboycott 
Act''.
  (b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
          (1) the Arab League boycott of Israel, and the secondary 
        boycott of United States firms that have commercial ties with 
        Israel, are an impediment to investment, trade, economic 
        development, and peace in the Middle East and North Africa;
          (2) it is in the common interest of the people of Israel and 
        the Arab states that the Arab League boycott be terminated, 
        that the Central Office for the Boycott of Israel be closed, 
        and that Arab League states normalize relations with their 
        neighbor Israel; and
          (3) the President, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary 
        of Commerce should continue to vigorously oppose the Arab 
        League boycott of Israel and use the authorities enacted into 
        law by Congress to take concrete steps to seek an end to the 
        Arab League boycott.
  (c) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to--
          (1) oppose restrictive trade practices or boycotts fostered 
        or imposed by foreign countries against other countries 
        friendly to the United States or against any United States 
        person;
          (2) encourage and, in specified cases, require United States 
        persons engaged in the export of goods or technology or other 
        information to refuse to take actions, including furnishing 
        information or entering into or implementing agreements, which 
        have the effect of furthering or supporting the restrictive 
        trade practices or boycotts fostered or imposed by any foreign 
        country against a country friendly to the United States or 
        against any United States person; and
          (3) foster international cooperation and the development of 
        international rules and institutions to assure reasonable 
        access to world supplies.
  (d) Prohibitions and Exceptions.--
          (1) Prohibitions.--In order to carry out the purposes set 
        forth in subsection (c), the Secretary of Commerce (in this 
        section referred to as the ``Secretary'') shall issue 
        regulations prohibiting any United States person, with respect 
        to that person's activities in the interstate or foreign 
        commerce of the United States, from taking or knowingly 
        agreeing to take any of the following actions with intent to 
        comply with, further, or support any boycott fostered or 
        imposed by a foreign country against a country that is friendly 
        to the United States and is not itself the object of any form 
        of boycott pursuant to United States law or regulation:
                  (A) Refusing, or requiring any other person to 
                refuse, to do business with or in the boycotted 
                country, with any business concern organized under the 
                laws of the boycotted country, with any national or 
                resident of the boycotted country, or with any other 
                person, pursuant to an agreement with, or requirement 
                of, or a request from or on behalf of the boycotting 
                country. The mere absence of a business relationship 
                with or in the boycotted country with any business 
                concern organized under the laws of the boycotted 
                country, with any national or resident of the boycotted 
                country, or with any other person, shall not indicate 
                the existence of the intent required to establish a 
                violation of regulations issued to carry out this 
                subparagraph.
                  (B) Refusing, or requiring any other person to 
                refuse, to employ or otherwise discriminate against any 
                United States person on the basis of the race, 
                religion, sex, or national origin of that person or of 
                any owner, officer, director, or employee of such 
                person.
                  (C) Furnishing information with respect to the race, 
                religion, sex, or national origin of any United States 
                person or of any owner, officer, director, or employee 
                of such person.
                  (D) Furnishing information about whether any person 
                has, has had, or proposes to have any business 
                relationship (including a relationship by way of sale, 
                purchase, legal or commercial representation, shipping 
                or other transport, insurance, investment, or supply) 
                with or in the boycotted country, with any business 
                concern organized under the laws of the boycotted 
                country, with any national or resident of the boycotted 
                country, or with any other person which is known or 
                believed to be restricted from having any business 
                relationship with or in the boycotting country. Nothing 
                in this subparagraph shall prohibit the furnishing of 
                normal business information in a commercial context as 
                defined by the Secretary.
                  (E) Furnishing information about whether any person 
                is a member of, has made a contribution to, or is 
                otherwise associated with or involved in the activities 
                of any charitable or fraternal organization that 
                supports the boycotted country.
                  (F) Paying, honoring, confirming, or otherwise 
                implementing a letter of credit that contains any 
                condition or requirement the compliance with which is 
                prohibited by regulations issued pursuant to this 
                paragraph, and no United States person shall, as a 
                result of the application of this paragraph, be 
                obligated to pay or otherwise honor or implement such 
                letter of credit.
          (2) Exceptions.--Regulations issued pursuant to paragraph (1)

                        under the laws of the boycotted country or by 
                        nationals or residents of the boycotted 
                        country; or
                          (ii) prohibiting the shipment of items to the

                        prescribed by the boycotting country or the 
                        recipient of the shipment;

                subparagraph, no information knowingly furnished or 
                conveyed in response to such requirements may be stated 
                in negative, blacklisting, or similar exclusionary 
                terms, other than with respect to carriers or route of 
                shipment as may be permitted by such regulations in 
                order to comply with precautionary requirements 
                protecting against war risks and confiscation;
                  (C) compliance, or agreement to comply, in the normal

                the person's activities exclusively therein, and such 
                regulations may contain exceptions for such resident 
                complying with the laws or regulations of the foreign 
                country governing imports into such country of

        prohibited, which are not within the intent of such exceptions.
  (e) Reports.--
          (1) In general.--Regulations issued under this section shall

        regarding the quantity, description, and value of any item to 
        which such report relates may be kept confidential if the 
        Secretary determines that disclosure of that information would 
        place the United States person involved at a competitive 
        disadvantage.
          (3) Summaries to secretary of state.-- The Secretary shall 
        periodically transmit to the Secretary of State summaries of

                  (B) Procedures.--Any civil penalty under this

                establishing levels of civil penalty under this 
                paragraph based upon the seriousness of the violation,

                the violation.

                property disputes in each country identified under 
                section 182(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C.

                  (D) An assessment of the adequacy of the resources of

  (a) In General.--Not later than December 31, 2012, the Secretary of 
State should develop and define a strategy for inter-country adoptions 
between the United States and foreign countries with over 100 adoptions 
into the United States per year.
  (b) Matters to Be Included.--The strategy described in subsection (a) 
should include--
          (1) principles to guide the efforts of the Department of 
        State to encourage and support countries to ratify the Hague 
        Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect 
        of Inter-country Adoption (``Hague Convention'');
          (2) a statement highlighting the United States commitment to

        adoption reporting and monitoring.
  (c) Sense of Congress.--Congress supports the Department of State's 
ongoing efforts to assist countries in amending their adoptions 
policies in order to come into alignment with the Hague Convention.

SEC. 1108. CLARIFICATION OF SENSITIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR PURPOSES OF 
                    PROCUREMENT BAN.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Government of Iran continues to disrupt the free flow 
        of information to the people of Iran.
          (2) The Government of Iran continues to utilize information 
        technology to conduct surveillance of dissidents' 
        communications in an effort to repress opponents of the regime.
          (3) Congress passed the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, 
        Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (CISADA) (which was 
        enacted into law on July 1, 2010) to increase pressure on the 
        Iranian regime to abandon nefarious policies, including the 
        development of nuclear weapons, support for international 
        terrorism, and violations of internationally recognized human 
        rights.
          (4) Section 106 of that Act provides for sanctions against 
        firms that provide Iran with sensitive technologies that allow 
        the Government of Iran to monitor, disrupt, or filter the free 
        flow of information to and from the people of Iran.
          (5) On September 23, 2010, the President delegated 
        authorities provided under section 106 of that Act to the 
        Secretary of State.
          (6) On June 30, 2011, the Government Accountability Office 
        issued a report, pursuant to section 106 of that Act and other 
        legislation, entitled ``Iran Communications Blocking'' (GAO-11-
        706R).
          (7) That report notes that the Department of State has not 
        identified any firms that have provided Iran with such 
        sensitive technology, and that the Department of State has no 
        intention ``to further refine the definition of sensitive 
        technologies beyond hardware, software, telecommunications 
        equipment, or any other technology the President determines is 
        to be used to monitor, filter, or disrupt information and 
        communication flows in Iran''. The report further notes that 
        many communications technologies may be used for legitimate 
        purposes as well as disruption and surveillance, making a 
        determination of the buyer's or seller's intent difficult to 
        discern.
          (8) The report also notes that, according to various sources, 
        the Government of Iran has developed ``indigenous'' 
        capabilities to disrupt and monitor information and 
        communications in Iran.
  (b) Responsibilities of Secretary of State.--The Secretary of State 
shall--
          (1) not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of 
        this Act, issue guidelines to further describe the goods, 
        services, and technologies that will be considered ``sensitive 
        technologies'' for purposes of section 106 of the Comprehensive 
        Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (22 
        U.S.C. 8515), and publish those guidelines in the Federal 
        Register;
          (2) determine the types of goods, services, and technologies 
        that enable any indigenous capabilities that Iran has to 
        disrupt and monitor information and communications in that 
        country, and consider adding descriptions of those items to the 
        guidelines; and
          (3) periodically review, but in no case less than once each 
        year, the guidelines and, if necessary, amend the guidelines on 
        the basis of technological developments and new information 
        regarding transfers of goods, services, and technologies to 
        Iran and the development of Iran's indigenous capabilities to 
        disrupt and monitor information and communications in Iran.

SEC. 1109. CURTAILING THE FREQUENCY OF INTERNATIONAL MARITIME PIRACY.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Maritime piracy is expanding in frequency, geographical 
        scope, and cost, representing a growing threat to United States 
        national security and even economic well-being. Somali pirates 
        now operate in a sea space of approximately 2.5 million square 
        nautical miles, an increase from 1 million square miles two 
        years ago.
          (2) From 2007 to 2010, the number of reported hijackings 
        increased sevenfold. Last year witnessed the highest number of 
        successful pirate attacks and hostages taken on record. Somali 
        pirates captured six times the number of hostages in 2010 than 
        in 2007, with the length of time held hostage increasing, along 
        with reports of abuse. Average ransom payments to Somali 
        pirates have risen to over $4,000,000.
          (3) Central to curtailing maritime piracy are internationally 
        recognized ``best management practices'', which entail 
        practical steps ship owners and seafarers can take to prevent 
        pirate attacks from happening. ``Best management practices'' 
        include steps such as proceeding at full speed through high 
        risk areas, placing additional lookouts on watches, and 
        employing physical barriers such as razor wire.
          (4) ``Best management practices'' have been developed by the 
        shipping industry and are updated based upon operation 
        experience and lessons learned. ``Best Management Practice 3'', 
        the third version of the document, was produced in June 2010.
          (5) Use of the internationally recognized ``best management 
        practices'' have been actively encouraged by the international 
        Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, created in 
        January 2009 pursuant to United Nations Security Council 
        Resolution 1851.
          (6) It is estimated that approximately 20 percent of all 
        vessels operating off the Horn of Africa do not employ these 
        ``best management practices''. Reportedly, it is these ships 
        that make up the vast majority of ships that are successfully 
        pirated.
          (7) On June 15, 2011, Assistant Secretary of State for 
        Political-Military Affairs Andrew Shapiro testified before the 
        Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade of the 
        Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives 
        that, ``The problem is that the small number of ships that 
        don't follow best management practices are responsible for the 
        vast majority of those that are actually pirated. . .we need to 
        work with the shipping industry to put financial pressure and 
        incentives on those who are not following best management 
        practices and leading to this problem to take further 
        action.''.
  (b) Declaration of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United 
States to publically identify persons who show continual disregard for 
internationally-recognized maritime best management practices promoted 
by the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, putting the 
lives of their crew in jeopardy and contributing to the growing ransom 
demands of Somali pirates.
  (c) Publication of Persons Who Show Continual Disregard for 
Internationally-recognized Maritime Best Management Practices.--
          (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (3), not later than 180 
        days after the date of the enactment of this Act and annually 
        thereafter (or more frequently as new information becomes 
        available), the President shall transmit to the appropriate 
        congressional committees a list of persons who the President 
        determines continually disregard internationally-recognized 
        maritime best management practices promoted by the Contact 
        Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia.
          (2) Public availability.--The lists required under paragraph 
        (1) shall be printed in the Federal Register.
          (3) Termination.--
                  (A) Certification.--The lists required under 
                paragraph (1) shall no longer be required on the date 
                that is 30 days after the date on which the President 
                certifies to the appropriate congressional committees 
                that the insufficient use of internationally recognized 
                ``best management practices'' is no longer a 
                contributing factor in the rise of maritime piracy off 
                the coast of Somalia.
                  (B) Notification.--The President shall notify the 
                appropriate congressional committees not less than 15 
                days before making a certification described in 
                subparagraph (A).
          (4) Definitions.--In this section:
                  (A) Appropriate congressional committees.--The term 
                ``appropriate congressional committees'' means--
                          (i) the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the 
                        Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
                        Representatives; and

SEC. 1110. UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES AND RELIGIOUS 
                    FREEDOM.

  (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United 
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) should, within the next 
12 months, accomplish the following:
          (1) A review by UNHCR of the extent to which UNHCR is 
        processing Religion-Based Refugee Claims consistent with 
        Article 1A(2) of the 1951 Convention or the 1967 Protocol 
        relating to the Status of Refugees.
          (2) A thorough training of UNHCR staff utilizing the UNHCR 
        Guidelines for Religion-Based Refugee Claims, including any 
        additional materials necessary based on the review conducted 
        pursuant to paragraph (1), such as the Department of State's 
        Annual Report on International Religious Freedom under section 
        102(b) of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (22 
        U.S.C. 6412(b)).
  (b) Reporting.--
          (1) In general.--Not later than one year after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit 
        to the appropriate congressional committees a report on whether 
        UNHCR has accomplished the measures specified in paragraphs (1) 
        and (2) of subsection (a), and any new steps UNHCR has taken to 
        strengthen implementation of the Guidelines referred to in 
        paragraph (2) of such subsection, with a particular focus on 
        countries that are contiguous to, or hosting asylum-seekers 
        from, countries identified as ``countries of particular concern 
        for religious freedom'' under section 402(b) of the 
        International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6442(b)) 
        or listed on the ``Watchlist'' of the United States Commission 
        on International Religious Freedom for violations of religious 
        freedom.
          (2) Justification and documentation.--If the Secretary 
        determines in the report under paragraph (1) that UNHCR has not 
        accomplished the aforementioned measures, or has not taken any 
        new steps to address the aforementioned concerns, the Secretary 
        shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees the 
        justification and documentation provided by UNHCR, if 
        available, of the reasons why no such actions were taken.

SEC. 1111. EXCHANGE PROGRAM FOR WOMEN LEGISLATORS AND CIVIL SOCIETY 
                    LEADERS.

  (a) In General.--The Secretary of State should encourage exchanges 
between women legislators and civil society leaders in politics and

          (3) Iraq.
          (4) Liberia.
          (5) South Sudan.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--These exchanges should seek to--
          (1) expand female participation in international exchange 
        programs of the Department of State;
          (2) promote the advancement of women leaders in national 
        parliaments and civil society, reduce legal and discriminatory 
        barriers to women's civil, educational, and economic equality; 
        and
          (3) promote the human and civil rights of women and inclusion 
        in decision-making structures as fundamental components of 
        democratic governance, stability, and economic development.

        committees at least 15 days in advance of exercising the waiver 
        a justification for granting such a waiver, including a 
        certification that the government of the country has taken 
        credible and verifiable steps to implement a plan of action to 
        end the recruitment and use of child soldiers, including the

SEC. 1122. UNITED STATES EMBASSIES IN CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES.

  (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the Department of State should establish embassies in 
        Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, 
        and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where the United States 
        does not now have embassies;
          (2) the United States Embassy in St. George's, Grenada, 
        should serve as a model for future United States embassies in 
        such countries;
          (3) as the very large United States diplomatic presence 
        diminishes in Afghanistan and Iraq over time, the Department of 
        State should re-assign five of those diplomatic billets to the 
        five Caribbean countries identified in paragraph (1);
          (4) between the time of passage of this Act and the coming 
        reduction in the number of Department of State Foreign Service 
        officers in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Department of State 
        should plan for the establishment of embassies in the five 
        Caribbean countries identified in paragraph (1); and
          (5) such embassies should be established not later than ten 
        years after the date of enactment of this Act.
  (b) Report, Conditionality, and Exception.--
          (1) Notification.--The Secretary of State shall notify the 
        appropriate congressional committees when the total number of 
        Foreign Service officers in the United States embassies in Iraq 
        and Afghanistan has been reduced by 20 percent as compared to 
        the total number of such officers as of the date of the 
        enactment of this Act.
          (2) Withholding of funds.--Except as provided in paragraph 
        (3), if United States embassies have not been established in 
        the five Caribbean countries identified in subsection (a)(1) by 
        the date that the total number of Foreign Service officers in 
        United States embassies in Iraq and Afghanistan has been 
        reduced by 20 percent under paragraph (1) of this subsection, 
        notwithstanding any other provision of law, five percent of the 
        amounts otherwise made available to the Overseas Building 
        Operations account of the Department of State shall be withheld 
        until such time as such embassies are established.
          (3) Exception for delay.--The Secretary of State may delay 
        for up to one year the establishment of the United States 
        embassies in the five Caribbean countries identified in 
        subsection (a)(1) if the Secretary determines that more time is 
        needed to establish such embassies and submits to the 
        appropriate congressional committees a report explaining the 
        reason for such delay.
          (4) Limitation on additional funding.--To establish the 
        United States embassies in the five Caribbean countries 
        identified in subsection (a)(1), the Secretary of State may use 
        only amounts that are available to the Department of State for 
        such purpose.

SEC. 1123. LIMITATION ON FUNDS FOR U.S.-CHINA CENTER OF EXCELLENCE ON 
                    NUCLEAR SECURITY.

  No funds are authorized to be appropriated for the establishment or 
operation of the U.S.-China Center of Excellence on Nuclear Security 
resulting from the agreement signed in January 2011 between the 
National Nuclear Security Administration and the China Atomic Energy 
Authority, unless the President determines that the provision of such 
funds are in the national security interest of the United States by 
contributing to efforts to prevent terrorists from obtaining 
radioactive materials that could be used in an explosive device.

SEC. 1124. VISAS FOR CERTAIN CITIZENS OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF 
                    CHINA.

  (a) In General.--The Secretary of State shall seek to enter into an 
agreement with the People's Republic of China regarding the issuance of 
visas under section 101(a)(15)(I) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(I)) to an alien who is a state-controlled

        infrastructure in Pakistan (such as roads, airfields, ports) 
        and its motives for doing so; and
          (2) China's strategic interests in Afghanistan, including 
        with respect to security, investment and trade, as well as the 
        interrelationship between Chinese policy toward Afghanistan and 
        Pakistan, respectively.
  (b) Public Release of Report.--The report required under subsection

SEC. 1126. ENFORCEMENT OF UNITED STATES REGULATIONS ON TRAVEL TO CUBA.

  The President shall fully enforce all United States regulations as in 
effect on January 19, 2009, on travel to Cuba and impose the 
corresponding penalties against individuals determined to be in 
violation of such regulations.

SEC. 1127. MEASURES SUPPORTING THE REUNIFICATION OF CYPRUS.

  (a) Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States to continue 
to support measures aimed at the reunification of Cyprus and to provide 
assistance to Cyprus only for programs and activities that are 
consistent with the goal of reunification of Cyprus and the achievement 
of a bi-communal, bi-zonal federation.
  (b) Consultation.--The President shall, to the maximum extent 
practicable, consult with the Government of the Republic of Cyprus with 
respect to the provision of United States assistance in Cyprus in order 
to ensure the transparency of such assistance.
  (c) Report Modification.--Section 620C(c) of the Foreign Assistance 
Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2373(c)) is amended in the second sentence--
          (1) by striking ``60-day'' and inserting ``90-day''; and
          (2) by inserting before the period at the end the following: 
        ``, including a detailed description of programs and activities 
        funded by the United States to help achieve the reunification 
        of Cyprus''.

SEC. 1128. PENDING CLAIMS AGAINST THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) On May 19, 1992, the Subcommittee on Europe and the Near 
        East of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
        Representatives held a hearing concerning commercial abuses 
        experienced by United States companies in Saudi Arabia and 
        brought the matter to the attention of the Saudi Embassy.
          (2) As a result of the May 19, 1992, hearing, outstanding 
        claims by United States companies against the Kingdom of Saudi 
        Arabia resulted in the initiation by the Committee on Foreign 
        Affairs of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
        Foreign Relations of the Senate of a special claims process to 
        resolve the claims, which was included in subsequent 
        legislation.
          (3) Failure to resolve all such claims has set a poor 
        precedent for dispute resolution processes and trade relations 
        between the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of State should--
          (1) immediately engage with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to 
        resolve any outstanding claims described in subsection (a) 
        through the special claims process described in that 
        subsection; and
          (2) take this matter into account when reviewing United 
        States relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including 
        with respect to current and future trade agreements and related 
        activities.
  (c) Report.--The Secretary of State shall, not later than 30 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, and not later than 120 
days thereafter, submit to the appropriate congressional committees a 
report on the progress achieved in resolving any remaining claims 
described in subsection (a).

SEC. 1129. PROMOTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN VIETNAM.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The relationship between the United States and the 
        Socialist Republic of Vietnam has grown substantially since the 
        end of the trade embargo in 1994, with annual trade between the 
        two countries exceeding $15,300,000,000 in 2009.
          (2) The Government of Vietnam's transition toward greater 
        economic freedom and trade has not been matched by greater 
        political freedom and substantial improvements in basic human 
        rights for Vietnamese citizens, including freedom of religion, 
        expression, association, and assembly.
          (3) The United States Congress agreed to Vietnam becoming an 
        official member of the World Trade Organization in 2006, amidst 
        assurances that the Government of Vietnam was steadily 
        improving its human rights record and would continue to do so.
          (4) Vietnam remains a one-party state, ruled and controlled 
        by the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), which continues to 
        deny the right of citizens to change their Government.
          (5) Although in recent years the National Assembly of Vietnam 
        has played an increasingly active role as a forum for 
        highlighting local concerns, corruption, and inefficiency, the 
        National Assembly remains subject to the direction of the CPV 
        and the CPV maintains control over the selection of candidates 
        in national and local elections.
          (6) The Government of Vietnam forbids public challenge to the 
        legitimacy of the one-party state, restricts freedoms of 
        opinion, the press, and association and tightly limits access 
        to the Internet and telecommunication.
          (7) Since Vietnam's accession to the WTO on January 11, 2007, 
        the Government of Vietnam arbitrarily arrested and imprisoned 
        numerous individuals for their peaceful advocacy of religious 
        freedom, democracy, and human rights, including Father Nguyen 
        Van Ly, human rights lawyers Nguyen Van Dai, Le Thi Cong Nhan, 
        Cu Huy Ha Vu, and Le Cong Dinh, and bloggers Nguyen Van Hai and 
        Phan Thanh Hai.
          (8) The Government of Vietnam continues to detain, imprison, 
        place under house arrest, convict, or otherwise restrict 
        persons for the peaceful expression of dissenting political or 
        religious views.
          (9) The Government of Vietnam has also failed to improve 
        labor rights, continues to arrest and harass labor leaders, and 
        restricts the right to organize independently.
          (10) The Government of Vietnam continues to limit the freedom 
        of religion, restrict the operations of independent religious 
        organizations, and persecute believers whose religious 
        activities the Government regards as a potential threat to its 
        monopoly on power.
          (11) Despite reported progress in church openings and legal 
        registrations of religious venues, the Government of Vietnam 
        has halted most positive actions with respect to religious 
        freedom since the Department of State lifted the ``country of 
        particular concern'' (CPC) designation for Vietnam in November 
        2006.
          (12) The Government of Vietnam controls all print and 
        electronic media, including access to the Internet, jams the 
        signals of some foreign radio stations, including Radio Free 
        Asia, and has detained and imprisoned individuals who have 
        posted, published, sent, or otherwise distributed democracy-
        related materials.
          (13) People arrested in Vietnam because of their political or 
        religious affiliations and activities often are not accorded 
        due legal process as they lack full access to lawyers of their 
        choice, may experience closed trials, have often been detained 
        for years without trial, and have been subjected to the use of 
        torture to admit crimes they did not commit or to falsely 
        denounce their own leaders.
          (14) Vietnam continues to be a source country for the 
        commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor of women and 
        girls, as well as for men and women legally entering into 
        international labor contracts who subsequently face conditions 
        of debt bondage or forced labor, and is a destination country 
        for child trafficking and continues to have internal human 
        trafficking.
          (15) Although the Government of Vietnam reports progress in 
        combating human trafficking, it does not fully comply with the 
        minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking, and is 
        not making substantial efforts to comply.
          (16) United States refugee resettlement programs, including 
        the Humanitarian Resettlement (HR) Program, the Orderly 
        Departure Program (ODP), Resettlement Opportunities for 
        Vietnamese Returnees (ROVR) Program, general resettlement of 
        boat people from refugee camps throughout Southeast Asia, the 
        Amerasian Homecoming Act of 1988, and the Priority One Refugee 
        resettlement category, have helped rescue Vietnamese nationals 
        who have suffered persecution on account of their associations 
        with the United States or, in many cases, because of such 
        associations by their spouses, parents, or other family 
        members, as well as other Vietnamese nationals who have been 
        persecuted because of race, religion, nationality, political 
        opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
          (17) While previous programs have served their purposes well, 
        a significant number of eligible refugees from Vietnam were 
        unfairly denied or excluded, including Amerasians, in some 
        cases by vindictive or corrupt Vietnamese officials who 
        controlled access to the programs, and in others by United 
        States personnel who imposed unduly restrictive interpretations 
        of program criteria. In addition, the Government of Vietnam has 
        denied passports to persons who the United States has found 
        eligible for refugee admission.
          (18) Congress has passed numerous resolutions condemning 
        human rights abuses in Vietnam, indicating that although there 
        has been an expansion of relations with the Government of 
        Vietnam, it should not be construed as approval of the ongoing 
        and serious violations of fundamental human rights in Vietnam.
  (b) Prohibition on Increased Nonhumanitarian Assistance to the 
Government of Vietnam.--
          (1) Assistance.--
                  (A) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), 
                the Federal Government may not provide any 
                nonhumanitarian assistance authorized to be 
                appropriated by this Act or any amendment made by this 
                Act to the Government of Vietnam during any fiscal year 
                in an amount that exceeds the amount of such assistance 
                provided during fiscal year 2011 unless--
                          (i) the Federal Government provides 
                        assistance supporting the creation and 
                        facilitation of human rights training, civil 
                        society capacity building, noncommercial rule 
                        of law programming, and exchange programs 
                        between the Vietnamese National Assembly and 
                        the United States Congress at levels

SEC. 1135. HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES BY THE GOVERNMENT OF SYRIA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Syrian Arab Republic is governed by an authoritarian 
        regime which continues to commit massive, systematic, and 
        extraordinary human rights abuses, including the use of torture 
        and arbitrary arrest and detention, and the most basic human 
        and political rights to its citizens.
          (2) The Government of Syria continues to ruthlessly suppress

                . . imposed severe restrictions on civil liberties: 
                freedoms of speech and press, including Internet and

to--
          (1) continue to strongly condemn the Government of Syria's

        range of issues from services regulation to foreign investment 
        to intellectual property rights that will improve the trade and 
        investment climate and assure reliable partners to United 
        States potential investors, entrepreneurs, and exporters, under

        protects United States interests and builds trust between 
        countries and peoples;
          (3) continue to collaborate with the Russian Government and 
        civil society to strengthen democracy and human rights, combat 
        corruption, deepen the rule of law, and liberalize banking,

SEC. 1137. COTE D'IVOIRE.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The political crisis in Cote d'Ivoire, which resulted 
        from the disputed November 2010 Presidential election, 
        imperiled the civic, economic, and human rights of its citizens 
        and the political stability of the entire sub-region.
          (2) With 17 scheduled elections across Africa in 2011, 
        Ivoirian and international acceptance of Mr. Gbagbo's electoral 
        claim would have aided and abetted the efforts of those 
        individuals who may seek to undermine the democratic will of 
        Africa's citizens and reversed gains in democracy and 
        governance across the continent.
          (3) On April 11, 2011, Mr. Gbagbo was arrested and taken into 
        the custody of the forces aligned with the elected President, 
        thereby creating an opportunity for the political and security 
        crisis in Cote d'Ivoire to be resolved and for rule of law to 
        be restored.
          (4) The United States has a strong interest in promoting 
        democracy and peace in Cote d'Ivoire and across all of Africa.
  (b) Statement of Congress.--Congress--
          (1) supports the democratic aspirations of the Ivoirian 
        people;
          (2) strongly condemns Mr. Gbagbo's attempt to circumvent the 
        will of the people of Cote d'Ivoire the majority of whom voted 
        on November 29, 2010, to elect Alassane Ouattara as their 
        president;
          (3) welcomes the arrest of former president Laurent Gbagbo 
        and calls upon him to urge his supporters to lay down their 
        weapons and contribute to peace and reconciliation in the 
        country;
          (4) calls for an immediate end to acts of violence, human 
        rights abuses, the intimidation of United Nations troops, and 
        the hindrance of United Nations access to investigate alleged 
        violations of international human rights and humanitarian law;
          (5) asserts that Mr. Gbagbo and his military and paramilitary 
        forces must be held accountable for any human rights crimes and 
        abuses that they have perpetrated against citizens and 
        residents of Cote d'Ivoire, as must all other persons or 
        entities who have committed such violations;
          (6) calls on the United States Government and international 
        community to continue to provide support for the ongoing 
        efforts of the Economic Community of West African States and 
        the African Union efforts to resolve the Ivoirian crisis, in 
        particular through support for implementation of the conflict 
        resolution framework and related recommendations contained in 
        the Report of the High Level Panel of the African Union for the 
        Resolution of the Crisis in Cote d'Ivoire of March 10, 2011;
          (7) calls on the United Nations Security Council, with the 
        support of the elected Government of Cote d'Ivoire, the African 
        Union, and ECOWAS, to continue to ensure that legal democratic 
        processes and international human rights and humanitarian law 
        are upheld in Cote d'Ivoire, and that there is accountability 
        for violations thereof;
          (8) supports the application of smart, targeted sanctions 
        against Mr. Gbagbo and his key supporters by the United States 
        Government and international community in order to send a clear 
        message that his rejection of the democratic process is 
        unacceptable and that impunity for human rights violations and 
        economic crimes against the Ivoirian people will not be 
        tolerated;
          (9) supports the Economic Community of West African States 
        and the African Union's aggressive steps to constrict the 
        access of the Gbagbo regime's access to financial resources, 
        including all actions taken by the Central Bank of West African 
        States (BCEAO) of the West African Economic and Monetary Union 
        (UEMOA) to achieve that end;
          (10) calls on the United States Government and other 
        responsible nations to continue, in a coordinated manner, to 
        provide humanitarian assistance to those with emergency needs, 
        both within Cote d'Ivoire and in neighboring countries hosting 
        Ivoirian refugees, as necessary and appropriate;
          (11) calls on President Ouattara to demonstrate restraint and 
        uphold rule of law with respect to the capture and potential 
        prosecution of Mr. Gbagbo and his supporters, while 
        demonstrating commitment to reconciliation and recovery;
          (12) calls for an independent, and impartial investigation of 
        all allegations of mass killings and other human rights abuses, 
        and calls on President Ouattara to provide unfettered access 
        and the necessary resources for such an investigation to occur, 
        with the support of the United States and other responsible 
        nations, as necessary and appropriate;
          (13) calls for the disarmament of all irregular security 
        forces and militias; and
          (14) urges the Government of Cote d'Ivoire to immediately 
        commence national reconciliation efforts, invest in rebuilding 
        infrastructure, facilities, and institutions damaged as a 
        result of the military and political crisis, to ensure the 
        safety of all persons resident within Cote d'Ivoire and, 
        facilitate the safe and voluntary return of refugees and 
        internally displaced people.

SEC. 1138. WATER AND SANITATION.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Department of State and the United States Agency for 
        International Development have designated Global Health as a 
        policy priority for United States foreign assistance.
          (2) Clean, potable water and adequate sanitation are 
        indispensable foundations of healthy societies.
          (3) Urban areas, where the expansion of slums reduces access 
        to clean water and proper sanitation, are particularly prone to 
        the spread of disease.
          (4) Diseases related to unsafe water and inadequate 
        sanitation account for [80 percent of sicknesses in developing 
        countries].
  (b) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States 
to address waterborne illnesses and conditions related to poor 
sanitation as priorities for United States global health policy.

                       PART I--GENERAL PROVISIONS

SEC. 1141. BUREAU OF EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the 
        Department of State engages students, educators and rising 
        leaders in more than 160 countries through academic, cultural, 
        sports, and professional exchanges.
          (2) These robust and effective international education, 
        cultural exchange and leadership development programs 
        strengthen relationships of the United States with foreign 
        partners that in turn benefit the United States economy and 
        national security.
          (3) The Department of State's Competitive Grants Program 
        within the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' Exchange 
        critically supports academic, cultural and professional 
        exchange and training programs that seek mutual understanding 
        and the free exchange of ideas between the people of the United 
        States and the people of other countries.
          (4) Broadening our understanding of other cultures, 
        languages, foreign governments, and economies makes us stronger 
        as a country.
          (5) As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton noted in February 
        2011, ``There is nothing that is more effective than having 
        people break down barriers [through exchange].''
          (6) The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' focus on 
        global education, women, youth, underserved audiences and the 
        formation of critical global communities, as well as its 
        concentration on countries of strategic importance, such as 
        Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Indonesia, serve the interests 
        of the United States around the world.
          (7) Alumni outreach engages thousands of Bureau Educational 
        and Cultural Affairs alumni around the world and assures a 
        strong return on investment.
          (8) The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs alumni 
        encompass over one million people around the world, including 
        more than 50 Nobel Laureates and over 350 current and former 
        heads of state and government.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the Bureau 
of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the Department of State fosters 
mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the 
people of other countries to promote friendly and peaceful relations as 
mandated by the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961.

SEC. 1142. DEPARTMENT OF STATE CODE OF CONDUCT TO PREVENT HUMAN 
                    TRAFFICKING.

  (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of State should institute a code of conduct within the 
Department of State to prevent severe forms of trafficking in persons.
  (b) Matters to Be Included.--The code of conduct described in 
subsection (a) should outline necessary steps to ensure that Department 
of State contractors and subcontractors do not engage in trafficking in 
persons.

SEC. 1143. PUBLIC DIPLOMACY.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) New media and communication technologies have given rise 
        to explosive growth in the volume and frequency of information 
        flowing to consumers worldwide.
          (2) Individuals and entities that seek to undermine United 
        States principles and ideals are actively engaged in shaping 
        perceptions about the United States and its role in world 
        affairs.
          (3) The 9/11 Commission concluded in its report that long-
        term success against terrorism ``demands the use of all 
        elements of national power'', including foreign aid and public 
        diplomacy. The Commission cautioned, ``If we favor one tool 
        while neglecting others, we leave ourselves vulnerable and 
        weaken our national effort.''.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) strengthening United States public diplomacy through 
        increased collaboration with the private sector should be a top 
        United States foreign policy priority;
          (2) the Secretary of State should consider ways to strengthen 
        current outreach efforts to key audiences in Egypt, Pakistan, 
        Turkey, and Russia.

SEC. 1144. HUMAN RIGHTS PRIORITIES.

  It is the sense of Congress that, recognizing that standing for 
fundamental human rights and against human rights abuse abroad is in 
keeping with United States values, the Secretary of State should ensure 
that such issues are incorporated, on a basis at least equal to the 
attention given to economic and political factors, into United States 
bilateral relationships.

SEC. 1145. DISCOURAGING MURDER AND OTHER FORMS OF VIOLENCE.

  It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of State should 
discourage foreign governments from condoning murder and other forms of 
physical violence that is directed against individuals because of their 
sexual orientation or gender identity.

SEC. 1146. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN SPACE.

  It is the sense of Congress that any effort to expand international 
cooperation in space, such as adding new partners to the International 
Space Station, conducting operations beyond low Earth orbit, exploring 
the Moon and Mars, launching deep space probes, and developing related 
technology and capabilities should not include participation by 
entities owned, controlled, chartered by, or located within the 
People's Republic of China.

SEC. 1147. BOUNDARY, WATER, AND FISHERIES COMMISSIONS.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The boundary, water, and fisheries commissions funded 
        using the funds authorized to be appropriated under section 104 
        are longstanding treaty- and agreement-based organizations 
        formed to address important border, water, and fisheries 
        resource issues, and receive substantial financial support from 
        United States taxpayers.
          (2) Although paragraph (g) of Article 24 of the 1944 Water 
        Treaty between Mexico and the United States (59 Stat. 1219) 
        requires the International Boundary and Water Commission 
        (United States and Mexico) to annually submit a joint report to 
        the United States and Mexican Governments, the last English-
        language Annual Report was filed for 2006, and contained no 
        detail regarding the cost of the Commission's particular 
        activities or the specific allocation of Commission resources.
          (3) The International Joint Commission last filed an Annual 
        Report for 2008 which, although it described past Commission 
        projects and activities in general terms, contained no detail 
        regarding the cost of its particular activities or the specific 
        allocation of Commission resources.
          (4) The International Boundary Commission (United States and 
        Canada) last filed an Annual Report for 2007.
          (5) The Great Lakes Fishery Commission, the largest recipient 
        of United States assistance to international fisheries 
        commissions, last filed an Annual Report for 2006, which was 
        six pages long and contained three lines of financial data.
          (6) In contrast, the most recent Annual Report by the Pacific 
        Salmon Commission (filed in September 2010 for the 2007/2008 
        period) was 189 pages long, and contained an independently 
        audited financial statement.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that timely 
reporting by the boundary, water, and fisheries commissions that 
sufficiently explains each such commission's activities and the 
disposition of each such commission's resources is necessary to 
maintain public support for their continued funding.

                  PART II--COUNTRY-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

SEC. 1151. KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE.

  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the delay of the Secretary of State to authorize the 
        Presidential Permit for the Keystone XL pipeline has adversely 
        affected the United States economy and weakened United States 
        national security;
          (2) according to the Energy Information Administration, in 
        2010, the United States imported 2,321 barrels per day from 
        Canada;
          (3) Canada, as a democratic ally, offers a stable source of 
        energy for the United States;
          (4) support of this pipeline is contingent upon the adherence 
        of any private company, contractor, or subsidiary, connected to 
        this project to the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, the 
        Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment 
        Act of 2010, and other provisions of United States law; and
          (5) in accordance with all applicable rules and guidelines, 
        the Secretary of State should promptly authorize the 
        Presidential Permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.

SEC. 1152. ACTIVITIES OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA IN AFRICA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) China is one of the world's largest investors in Africa.
          (2) Bilateral trade deals have been signed between China and 
        45 African countries.
          (3) The China-Africa Development Fund was created to invest 
        in African equities, and plans call for an expansion to $5 
        billion.
          (4) According to Tapiwa Mashakada, Zimbabwe's Minister of 
        Economic Planning and Investment, the China Development Bank 
        could invest up to $10 billion in Zimbabwe, site of the world's 
        second-largest platinum deposit.
          (5) Chinese direct investment in Zambia, with a focus on 
        copper mining, surpassed $1 billion in 2010.
          (6) Sudan is China's third-largest trade partner in Africa, 
        and China has been its biggest arms supplier. China continues 
        to be criticized by human rights observers for supplying 
        weapons in violation of the United Nations weapons embargo of 
        Sudan.
          (7) Chinese direct investment in Nigeria exceeded $7 billion 
        in 2010, with a focus on oil investments in the conflict-ridden 
        Niger Delta.
          (8) According to reports, China's African investments may 
        increase by 70 percent from 2009 to 2015, to $50 billion, and 
        Chinese-African bilateral trade may double from 2010 to 2015, 
        to $300 billion.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the United States Government should have a firm 
        understanding of China's rapid expansion in natural resource-
        rich, high-conflict areas of Africa; and
          (2) the United States-China Economic and Security Review 
        Commission should, as part of its existing mandate and 
        resources, prepare a report on China's activities in Africa as 
        they relate to the United States-China relationship.

SEC. 1153. ACTIONS TO SECURE FREEDOM OF CHEN GUANGCHENG AND OTHER HUMAN 
                    RIGHTS DEFENDERS IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Blind, self-taught legal advocate Chen Guangcheng 
        publicly exposed the fact that in 2005, 130,000 involuntary 
        abortions and sterilizations were performed on women in Linyi 
        County, Shandong Province in a single year.
          (2) Mr. Chen was arrested on June 21, 2006, tried on November 
        27, 2006, and sentenced on December 1, 2006, to four years and 
        three months in jail, on charges of ``intentional destruction 
        or damage to property'' and ``gathering people to disturb 
        traffic order''.
          (3) The prosecution and trial of Mr. Chen has drawn repeated 
        criticism for its lack of due process of law, including the 
        detention of his defense lawyers on the eve of trial and the 
        alleged extraction of witness statements under torture.
          (4) Time Magazine named Mr. Chen one of ``2006's Top 100 
        People Who Shape Our World'', in the category of ``Heroes and 
        Pioneers''.
          (5) In August 2007, Chinese authorities stopped Mr. Chen's 
        wife, Yuan Weijing, at the airport, revoked her passport, and 
        forcibly returned her to her village as she attempted to travel 
        to Manila to collect Mr. Chen's Magsaysay Award, known as 
        Asia's Nobel Prize.
          (6) Mr. Chen was released from prison on September 9, 2010, 
        with a chronic, debilitating intestinal illness contracted in 
        prison, for which he has been allowed no medical treatment.
          (7) Mr. Chen is now under house arrest, where he has been 
        repeatedly and severely beaten, and denied adequate medical 
        treatment and nutrition despite fragile and deteriorating 
        health.
          (8) Mr. Chen's wife, Yuan Weijing, and their children have 
        been subjected to harassment, surveillance, and confinement 
        throughout Mr. Chen's imprisonment and house arrest.
          (9) Mr. Chen and Ms. Yuan secretly recorded a video 
        describing the harsh conditions of their house arrest, which 
        included constant surveillance by 66 security police, severed 
        telephone and internet connections, lack of adequate food, and 
        continued intimidation by officials, who enter their home at 
        any time, without notice.
          (10) In February 2011, following the video's release, Mr. 
        Chen's legal team tried to assist him, but several were placed 
        under house arrest, and two of his lawyers, Jiang Tianyong and 
        Teng Biao, were beaten and later disappeared.
          (11) The Foreign Correspondents' Club of China issued the 
        following warning on February 17, 2011, ``Correspondents should 
        be careful if they attempt to enter the village of activist 
        Chen Guangcheng in Shandong Province. In recent days several 
        correspondents have encountered groups of violent, plainclothes 
        thugs. . . They have pushed reporters around, threatened them 
        with bricks, damaged their cars, confiscated or destroyed their 
        equipment and taken their press credentials''.
          (12) The 2010 Congressional-Executive Commission on China 
        Report states that ``Chinese authorities continued to implement 
        population planning policies that interfere with and control 
        the reproductive lives of women, employing various methods 
        including fines, cancellation of state benefits and permits, 
        forced sterilization, forced abortion, arbitrary detention, and 
        other abuses''.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the Government of the People's Republic of China should 
        cease its harassment of Chen Guangcheng and his family, 
        including his wife, daughter, son, and mother, and arrange 
        medical treatment for him and his wife, Yuan Weijing;
          (2) the Government of the People's Republic of China should 
        release Chen Guangcheng and his family from house arrest, allow 
        them freedom of movement, and allow access to him by 
        international diplomats and journalists;
          (3) the President and the Secretary of State should actively 
        and repeatedly seek diplomatic visits to Chen Guangcheng and 
        his family;
          (4) the President, Secretary of State, and other 
        Administration officials should raise the issue of harassed, 
        arrested, disappeared, and disbarred human rights lawyers and 
        defenders with the Government of the People's Republic of China 
        and link this issue to United States interests in the rule of 
        law and human rights;
          (5) the President, Secretary of State, and other United 
        States Government officials should aggressively and repeatedly 
        raise the issue of the coercive implementation of China's birth 
        limitation policy with President Hu Jintao; and
          (6) Chen Guangcheng and his wife, Yuan Weijing, are to be 
        commended for their courage and integrity and should be 
        supported in their determination to expose and oppose coercive 
        population control methods in China that violate the human 
        rights of women.

SEC. 1154. CHINESE DRYWALL.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Between 2001 through 2009, contaminated drywall 
        manufactured in China was imported into the United States and 
        used in home construction.
          (2) It has been found through scientific studies, including a 
        study by Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, that the 
        contaminated drywall imported from China creates a corrosive 
        environment for fire safety alarm devices, such as smoke and 
        carbon monoxide alarms, electrical distribution components, 
        such as receptacles, switches, and circuit breakers, and gas 
        service piping and fire suppression sprinkler systems installed 
        in the affected homes.
          (3) Based on these scientific findings, the United States 
        Consumer Product Safety Commission issued an updated 
        Remediation Protocol for Homes with Problem Drywall on March 
        18, 2011, which recommends the replacement of all contaminated 
        drywall and replacement of fire safety alarm devices, 
        electrical distribution components, and gas service piping and 
        fire suppression sprinkler systems.
          (4) In addition, homeowners with contaminated drywall from 
        China have indicated that the drywall releases a strong sulfur-
        like odor that renders the home uninhabitable.
          (5) Companies in China that manufactured and exported the 
        contaminated drywall to the United States have refused to meet 
        with United States officials, including representatives of the 
        Consumer Product Safety Commission, have not provided financial 
        assistance to homeowners with contaminated drywall from China, 
        and have not submitted to jurisdiction in United States Federal 
        Courts that are hearing cases on contaminated drywall from 
        China.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the Secretary of State should insist that Government of 
        the People's Republic of China, which has ownership interests 
        in the companies that manufactured and exported contaminated 
        drywall to the United States, have the companies meet with 
        representatives of the United States Government on remedying 
        homeowners that have contaminated drywall in their homes; and
          (2) the Secretary of State should insist that the Government 
        of the People's Republic of China have the companies that 
        manufactured and exported contaminated drywall submit to 
        jurisdiction in United States Federal Courts and comply with 
        any decisions issued by the Courts for homeowners with 
        contaminated drywall.

SEC. 1155. RIGHTS OF RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN EGYPT.

  (a) Statement of Congress.--Congress is concerned about the state of 
religious freedom in Egypt and the plight of religious minorities in 
the country, including Coptic Christians.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--The Office of International Religious Freedom 
and the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor at the Department 
of State should dedicate all appropriate resources to promoting the 
rights of religious minorities in Egypt.

SEC. 1156. PLIGHT OF COPTIC CHRISTIANS IN EGYPT.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Coptic Christians in Egypt have been subject to 
        discrimination, oppression, and violent attacks as documented 
        by the United State Commission on International Religious 
        Freedom (USCIRF) and other human rights groups.
          (2) USCIRF has called for Egypt to be designated as a Country 
        of Particular Concern pursuant to the International Religious 
        Freedom Act of 1998.
          (3) Credible reports concerning the disappearance, forced 
        conversion, and forced marriages of Coptic Christian women and 
        girls in Egypt reveal a consistent pattern of targeting such 
        vulnerable individuals with deceptive practices, often 
        involving psychological and physical abuse, including rape, 
        beatings, confinement, and isolation from their families.
          (4) The Government of Egypt has failed to credibly 
        investigate these allegations, creating a climate of impunity 
        for the perpetrators of these crimes and denying justice to the 
        victims and their families.
          (5) The current political uncertainty in Egypt has increased 
        concerns as to whether the religious freedom and other human 
        rights of Coptic Christians will be respected and protected.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Administration should include the protection of Coptic Christian 
communities and respect for their human rights as a priority in 
diplomatic engagements with the Government of Egypt, including regular 
bilateral consultations on the status of investigations, prosecutions, 
sentencing, and imprisonment of perpetrators of human rights violations 
against Coptic Christians.

SEC. 1157. STATE SPONSORSHIP OF TERRORISM BY ERITREA.

  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) given the growing security threat from al Shabaab, a 
        United States-designated foreign terrorist organization, every 
        effort should be made to tackle its outside sources of support;
          (2) Eritrea's ongoing and well-documented support for armed 
        insurgents in Somalia, including al Shabaab, poses a 
        significant threat to the national security interests of the 
        United States and East African countries; and
          (3) the Secretary of State should designate Eritrea as a 
        state sponsor of terrorism pursuant to section 6(j) of the 
        Export Administration Act of 1979, section 40 of the Arms 
        Export Control Act, and section 620A of the Foreign Assistance 
        Act of 1961.

SEC. 1158. HOLOCAUST-ERA PROPERTY RESTITUTION AND COMPENSATION BY 
                    CERTAIN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.

  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) countries in Central and Eastern Europe that have not 
        already done so should return looted and confiscated properties 
        from the Holocaust to their rightful owners or, where 
        restitution is not possible, pay equitable compensation, in 
        accordance with principles of justice and in an expeditious 
        manner that is transparent and fair;
          (2) to this end, such countries should follow the Terezin 
        Declaration of June 30, 2009, and the Guidelines and Best 
        Practices for the Restitution and Compensation of Immovable 
        (Real) Property Confiscated or Otherwise Wrongfully Seized by 
        the Nazis, Fascists and Their Collaborators during the 
        Holocaust (Shoah) Era between 1933-1945, including the Period 
        of World War II, both of which were adopted by more than 40 
        countries in Prague on June 9, 2010; and
          (3) countries in Central and Eastern Europe should enact and 
        implement appropriate restitution and compensation legislation 
        to facilitate private, communal, and religious property 
        restitution.

SEC. 1159. DEMOCRACY IN GEORGIA.

  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) Georgia is a strategic partner of the United States and 
        the United States should fully support the development and 
        consolidation of effective democratic governance in Georgia, 
        respect for human rights and the rule of law, an independent 
        media, and a vibrant civil society;
          (2) the United States should support the strengthening of 
        democratic government institutions, including truly independent 
        executive, judicial, and legislative branches that exhibit 
        effective transparency and accountability;
          (3) the United States should support a free and fair 
        electoral system in Georgia with a diverse and robust multi-
        party political system representative of Georgia's diverse 
        population;
          (4) the United States should fully support Georgia's efforts 
        to join NATO and the transatlantic community; and
          (5) the United States should fully support Georgia's 
        territorial integrity and should urge the European Union, its 
        Member States, and other responsible countries to call for an 
        immediate and complete withdrawal of Russian troops occupying 
        Georgian territory in accordance with the August and September 
        2008 ceasefire agreements.

SEC. 1160. URGING THE IMMEDIATE RETURN OF UNITED STATES CHILDREN 
                    ABDUCTED TO JAPAN.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) More than 300 United States children have been wrongfully 
        removed to and retained in Japan since the United States began 
        keeping records in 1994.
          (2) At least 31 United States children were wrongfully 
        removed to and retained in Japan in 2010 alone.
          (3) The Department of State currently has at least 113 open 
        cases involving 156 children who have been reported to the 
        Department and who are being retained in Japan against the 
        wishes of their parent in the United States and, in many cases, 
        in direct violation of a valid United States court order.
          (4) Congress is not aware of any legal decision that has been 
        issued and enforced by the Government of Japan to return a 
        single abducted child to the United States.
          (5) Japan has announced that it is preparing to ratify the 
        1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International 
        Child Abduction (the ``Hague Convention'').
          (6) The Hague Convention provides enumerated defenses 
        designed to provide protection to children alleged to be 
        subjected to a grave risk of physical or psychological harm in 
        the left-behind country.
          (7) The Hague Convention by its own terms would not apply to 
        any abductions occurring before Japan's ratification of the 
        Hague Convention, therefore necessitating that a separate 
        protocol be established to immediately address the existing 
        abduction cases of all United States children wrongfully 
        removed to and currently retained in Japan.
          (8) According to the Department of State's April 2009 Report 
        on Compliance with the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of 
        International Child Abduction, abducted children are at risk of 
        serious emotional and psychological problems and have been 
        found to experience anxiety, eating problems, nightmares, mood 
        swings, sleep disturbances, aggressive behavior, resentment, 
        guilt, and fearfulness, and as adults may struggle with 
        identity issues, their own personal relationships, and 
        parenting.
          (9) Left-behind parents may encounter substantial 
        psychological, emotional, and financial problems, and many may 
        not have the financial resources to pursue civil or criminal 
        remedies for the return of their children in foreign courts or 
        political systems.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of 
        International Child Abduction (the ``Hague Convention''), if 
        ratified by Japan, will not provide for the resolution of the 
        existing cases involving the abductions of more than 156 United 
        States children to Japan;
          (2) the United States, by way of a memorandum of 
        understanding with the Government of Japan, and through all 
        other appropriate means, should seek the immediate return of 
        all United States children wrongfully removed to or retained in 
        Japan; and
          (3) the Secretary of State should take any and all other 
        appropriate measures to ensure that left behind parents with 
        United States children wrongfully removed or retained in Japan, 
        have direct access and communications with their children.

SEC. 1161. RELATING TO THE QUARTET AND CONTACTS WITH ANY PALESTINIAN 
                    GOVERNMENT.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) On January 30, 2006, the Quartet stated that all members 
        of a future Palestinian government must be committed to 
        nonviolence, recognition of Israel, and acceptance of previous 
        agreements and obligations, including the Roadmap, and recalled 
        this statement on March 30, 2006, following the formation of a 
        Hamas-controlled Palestinian government.
          (2) On July 5, 2011, the Quartet called for an end to the 
        deplorable five-year detention of Gilad Shalit.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of State should urge the Quartet to adopt the immediate and 
unconditional release of Gilad Shalit as an additional condition for 
contact with any Palestinian government in which Hamas participates.

SEC. 1162. DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the Government of the Russian Federation should--
                  (A) safeguard human rights, including freedoms of 
                speech, assembly, and association; and
                  (B) take all necessary steps to ensure that the 
                upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections meet 
                international electoral standards and are universal, 
                free, equal, fair, secret, transparent, and accountable 
                and to--
                          (i) allow credible, independent electoral 
                        observers, both domestic and international for 
                        both long-term and short-term observation 
                        missions, unrestricted and timely access to 
                        complete their work;
                          (ii) take steps to ensure that the text and 
                        implementation of election law in the Russian 
                        Federation is consistent with international 
                        electoral standards;
                          (iii) provide access to the ballot for all 
                        political parties and candidates by removing 
                        unreasonable barriers to political party 
                        registration and to candidate acceptance on 
                        electoral ballots and by ensuring fair, 
                        impartial, and timely consideration of all 
                        political party registration applications; and
                          (iv) undertake an impartial, independent 
                        investigation of the procedures used to deny 
                        the party registration application of the Party 
                        of the People's Freedom (PARNAS) to ensure that 
                        the procedures used were consistent with 
                        international standards; and
          (2) the President and the Secretary of State should make 
        respect for democracy, the rule of law, and human rights a 
        priority in the ongoing relationship and dialogue between the 
        Governments of the United States and the Russian Federation, in 
        particular in light of the upcoming parliamentary and 
        presidential elections in Russia.

SEC. 1163. REPUBLIC OF THE SUDAN AND REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The United States was a witness to the 2005 Comprehensive 
        Peace Agreement (CPA), which marked the end of more than two 
        decades of civil war between North and South Sudan that 
        resulted in the deaths of more than 2,000,000 people.
          (2) The CPA provided the framework for a historic referendum 
        to determine the future status of South Sudan held between 
        January 9, 2011, and January 15, 2011.
          (3) On February 7, 2011, the Southern Sudan Referendum 
        Commission announced that the people of South Sudan voted in 
        favor of succession from the Republic of the Sudan by a margin 
        of 98.8 percent in a credible and transparent vote.
          (4) The mandate for the United Nations Mission in Sudan 
        (UNMIS), which was established by United Nations Security 
        Council Resolution 1590 on March 24, 2005, and was instrumental 
        in supporting the implementation of the CPA, expired on July 9, 
        2011, with the completion of the CPA Interim Period.
          (5) The mandate for the United Nations Mission in South Sudan 
        (UNMISS), as established by United Nations Security Council 
        Resolution 1996 (2011), commenced on July 9, 2011.
          (6) Several outstanding issues relating to CPA implementation 
        and potential points of conflict remain unresolved between 
        North and South Sudan, including the final status of the 
        contested area of Abyei, ongoing violence in Southern Kordofan 
        and Blue Nile, disputed border areas, citizenship rights and 
        nationality, division of oil resources and profits, currency, 
        international debt and assets, the liberation of slaves from 
        South Sudan still held in Sudan, and other matters.
          (7) Lasting peace and stability for the region cannot be 
        realized until all outstanding elements of the CPA are dealt 
        with in a fair and peaceful manner and a comprehensive peace is 
        secured in Darfur.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the independence of the Republic of South Sudan 
        represents an historic opportunity for peace in the region and 
        the people of South Sudan should be commended for freely and 
        peacefully expressing their desire for independence through a 
        credible and transparent referendum;
          (2) the people and leaders of South Sudan should be commended 
        for their efforts to reach this historic milestone;
          (3) all parties should continue to work to resolve 
        outstanding matters relating to implementation of the 
        Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan, including the final 
        status of Abyei, disputed border areas, the completion of 
        popular consultations and security arrangements in Southern 
        Kordofan and Blue Nile, citizenship and nationality, division 
        of oil resources and profits, currency, international debt and 
        assets, the liberation of slaves from South Sudan still held in 
        Sudan, and other matters in order to ensure a smooth transition 
        to two states and to mitigate points of conflict;
          (4) all parties should fully implement their June 20, 2011, 
        agreement on temporary arrangements for the contested Abyei 
        area and swiftly establish a cessation of hostilities in 
        Southern Kordofan;
          (5) the deployment of up to 4,200 Ethiopian peacekeepers to 
        Abyei and the new United Nations Mission in South Sudan 
        (UNMISS) are expected to help provide security and stability in 
        the region;
          (6) peace, rule of law, security, and good governance should 
        be promoted throughout Sudan and South Sudan, particularly 
        efforts to--
                  (A) advance security and stability in both countries, 
                especially in critical areas such as Darfur, Blue Nile, 
                and Southern Kordofan and in Abyei;
                  (B) promote respect for the human and civil rights of 
                all, including southerners living in Sudan and 
                northerners living in South Sudan;
                  (C) encourage the development of multi-party 
                democracy, vibrant democratic institutions, and freedom 
                of speech and association;
                  (D) prevent extremists groups from exploiting the 
                territories of Sudan and South Sudan and encourage full 
                cooperation with the United States on counterterrorism 
                priorities; and
                  (E) encourage a productive relationship between Sudan 
                and South Sudan that recognizes the mutual need for 
                cooperation and an open flow of people and goods across 
                borders and to refrain from the use of proxy forces to 
                foment conflict;
          (7) the United States and other responsible countries should 
        support the Legislative Assembly of the Republic of South 
        Sudan, and the Auditor General's office as it works to create a 
        Petroleum Directorate, to ensure full accountability in the 
        management of the country's oil sector; and
          (8) the Darfur peace process should remain a priority in 
        United States relations with Sudan, particularly with regard to 
        efforts to secure a just and lasting peace in Darfur, 
        humanitarian access to vulnerable populations, and freedom of 
        movement for the African Union-United Nations Mission in Darfur 
        (UNAMID).

SEC. 1164. SALE OF F-16 FIGHTER AIRCRAFT TO TAIWAN.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8) codified in 
        law the basis for continued commercial, cultural, and other 
        relations between the people of the United States and the 
        people of Taiwan.
          (2) The Taiwan Relations Act states that ``the United States 
        will make available to Taiwan such defense articles and defense 
        services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable Taiwan 
        to maintain a sufficient self-defense capability'', and that 
        ``both the President and the Congress shall determine the 
        nature and quantity of such defense articles and services based 
        solely upon their judgment on the needs of Taiwan, in 
        accordance with procedures established by law''.
          (3) A Department of Defense report on the military power of 
        the People's Republic of China in 2010 stated that ``China's 
        military build-up opposite [Taiwan] continued unabated. The 
        [People's Liberation Army] is developing the capability to 
        deter Taiwan independence or influence Taiwan to settle the 
        dispute on Beijing's terms. . .[and] the balance of cross-
        Strait military forces continues to shift in the mainland's 
        favor''.
          (4) A Defense Intelligence Agency assessment of Taiwan's air 
        defense status in 2010 concluded that while Taiwan has nearly 
        400 combat aircraft in service, ``far fewer are operationally 
        capable''.
          (5) Taiwan's president stated in a newspaper interview on 
        February 17, 2011, that Taiwan needs both new F-16 C/D fighter 
        jets and upgrades to the Taiwan Air Forces' existing fleet of 
        F-16 A/B fighter jets to ``maintain a certain defensive and 
        fighting capability''.
          (6) The president of Taiwan stated his administration's 
        desire to acquire F-16 C/Ds in a May 12, 2010, video address to 
        the United States where he asked the United States to provide 
        Taiwan with the necessary weapons to keep its aerial integrity 
        intact.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the United States, in accordance with the Taiwan 
        Relations Act, should continue to make available to Taiwan such 
        defense articles and services as may be necessary for Taiwan to 
        maintain a sufficient self-defense capability; and
          (2) the President should take immediate steps to sell to 
        Taiwan--
                  (A) all the F-16 fighter jets that are needed by 
                Taiwan, including new F-16 C/D aircraft and upgrades to 
                the existing F-16 A/B fleet; and
                  (B) diesel submarines, offered to Taiwan by the 
                United States in 2001, once Taiwan has budgeted for 
                such submarines.

SEC. 1165. OFFICIAL CONTACTS WITH GOVERNMENT OF TURKEY.

  It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of State, in all 
official contacts with Turkish leaders and other Turkish officials, 
should emphasize that Turkey should--
          (1) end all forms of religious discrimination;
          (2) allow the rightful church and lay owners of Christian 
        church properties, without hindrance or restriction, to 
        organize and administer prayer services, religious education, 
        clerical training, appointments, and succession, religious 
        community gatherings, social services, including ministry to 
        the needs of the poor and infirm, and other religious 
        activities;
          (3) return to their rightful owners all Christian churches 
        and other places of worship, monasteries, schools, hospitals, 
        monuments, relics, holy sites, and other religious properties, 
        including movable properties, such as artwork, manuscripts, 
        vestments, vessels, and other artifacts; and
          (4) allow the rightful Christian church and lay owners of 
        Christian church properties, without hindrance or restriction, 
        to preserve, reconstruct, and repair, as they see fit, all 
        Christian churches and other places of worship, monasteries, 
        schools, hospitals, monuments, relics, holy sites, and other 
        religious properties within Turkey.

SEC. 1166. RESTRICTIONS ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN VIETNAM.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Secretary of State, under the International Religious 
        Freedom Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6401 et seq.) and authority 
        delegated by the President, designates nations found guilty of 
        ``particularly severe violations of religious freedom'' as 
        ``Countries of Particular Concern'' (``CPC'').
          (2) In November 2006, the Secretary of State announced that 
        the Socialist Republic of Vietnam was no longer designated as a 
        ``Country of Particular Concern''.
          (3) The Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam (UBCV), the Hoa 
        Hao Buddhists, and the Cao Dai groups continue to face 
        unwarranted abuses because of their attempts to organize 
        independently of the Government of Vietnam, including the 
        detention and imprisonment of individual members of these 
        religious communities.
          (4) In September 2009, Vietnamese police cordoned off a Lang 
        Mai Buddhist monastery, and monks were beaten, degraded, and 
        sexually assaulted by undercover policemen and civilians.
          (5) Protestants continue to face beatings and other ill-
        treatment, harassment, fines, threats, and forced renunciations 
        of faith.
          (6) According to Human Rights Watch, 355 Montagnard 
        Protestants remain in prison, arrested after 2001 and 2004 
        demonstrations for land rights and religious freedom in the 
        Central Highlands.
          (7) According to the United States Commission on 
        International Religious Freedom, there are reports that some 
        Montagnard Protestants were imprisoned because of their 
        religious affiliation or activities or because religious 
        leaders failed to inform on members of their religious 
        community who allegedly participated in demonstrations.
          (8) Ksor Tino, a Degar Christian, died on September 6, 2009, 
        after being detained in a Plei Ku city prison and being 
        tortured repeatedly with electric prods and severe physical 
        punishment for refusing to join a government sanctioned 
        religion.
          (9) On November 11, 2010, hundreds of Vietnamese police 
        violently attacked a Catholic prayer service in the Gia Lai 
        Provence, leaving 9 of the beaten unconscious from strokes to 
        the head.
          (10) According to the United States Commission on 
        International Religious Freedom 2010 Annual Report, religious 
        freedom advocates and human rights defenders Nguyen Van Dai, Le 
        Thi Cong Nhan, and Fr. Thaddeus Nguyen Van Ly are in prison 
        under Article 88 of the Criminal Code and Fr. Phan Van Loi is 
        being held without official detention orders under house 
        arrest.
          (11) At least 15 individuals are being detained in long term 
        house arrest for reasons related to their faith, including the 
        most venerable Thich Quang Do and most of the leadership of the 
        UBCV.
          (12) UBCV monks and youth groups leaders are harassed and 
        detained and charitable activities are denied, Vietnamese 
        officials discriminate against ethnic minority Protestants by 
        denying medical, housing, and educational benefits to children 
        and families, an ethnic minority Protestant was beaten to death 
        for refusing to recant his faith, over 600 Hmong Protestant 
        churches are refused legal recognition or affiliation, leading 
        to harassment, detentions, and home destructions, and a 
        government handbook on religion instructs government officials 
        to control existing religious practice, halt ``enemy forces'' 
        from ``abusing religion'' to undermine the Vietnamese 
        Government, and ``overcome the extraordinary growth of 
        Protestantism.''
          (13) Since August 2008, the Vietnamese Government has 
        arrested and sentenced at least eight individuals and beaten, 
        tear-gassed, harassed, publicly slandered, and threatened 
        Catholics engaged in peaceful activities seeking the return of 
        Catholic Church properties confiscated by the Vietnamese 
        Government after 1954 in Hanoi, including in the Thai Ha 
        parish.
          (14) Local police and mobile ``anti-riot'' police attacked a 
        funeral procession in the Con Dau parish on May 4, 2010, 
        shooting tear gas and rubber bullets, beating residents with 
        batons and electric rods, injuring 100, and killing at least 
        one.
          (15) The United States Commission on International Religious 
        Freedom, prominent nongovernmental organizations, and 
        representative associations of Vietnamese-American, Montagnard-
        American, and Khmer-American organizations have called for the 
        redesignation of Vietnam as a CPC.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the Secretary of State should place Vietnam on the list 
        of ``Countries of Particular Concern'' for particularly severe 
        violations of religious freedom; and
          (2) the Government of Vietnam should lift restrictions on 
        religious freedom and implement necessary legal and political 
        reforms to protect religious freedom.

SEC. 1167. EUROPEAN ARMS SALES TO CHINA.

  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the European Union should continue its ban on all arms 
        exports to the People's Republic of China;
          (2) the President should raise United States objections to 
        the potential lifting of the European Union arms embargo 
        against the People's Republic of China;
          (3) the United States Government should make clear in 
        discussions with the governments of countries in the European 
        Union that a lifting of the European Arms Embargo on arms sales 
        to the People's Republic of China would potentially adversely 
        affect transatlantic defense cooperation, including future 
        transfers of United States military technology, services, and 
        equipment to European Union countries;
          (4) the European Union should make legally binding and 
        enforceable its Code of Conduct for Arms Exports;
          (5) human rights abuses in the People's Republic of China 
        remain a matter of concern for United States foreign policy;
          (6) the continuing military build-up of the Government of the 
        People's Republic of China aimed at Taiwan and the ongoing 
        weapon of mass destruction- and missile-related proliferation 
        of state-sponsored companies in China are matters of grave 
        concern to United States foreign and national security policy; 
        and
          (7) the United States Government and the European Union 
        should work cooperatively to develop a common strategy to limit 
        sensitive technologies exported to the People's Republic of 
        China, seek improvement in the human rights conditions in and 
        the export control practices of the People's Republic of China, 
        as well as an end to the ongoing proliferation of weapons of 
        mass destruction and ballistic missile related technology from 
        China to state sponsors of terrorism.

                         Background and Purpose

    The Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2012, 
authorizes funding for and reforms to the Department of State, 
the Broadcasting Board of Governors, the Peace Corps, and major 
components of United States foreign assistance and military 
assistance, as well as containing numerous provisions on 
foreign policy priorities.
    This legislation is the product of extensive oversight 
efforts, including detailed review of congressional 
notifications, briefings, hearings with Administration 
officials and an array of independent experts, culminating in a 
markup whose length, breadth, and openness is unique in the 
recent history of this Committee. During two days of extended 
and unconstrained debate, the Committee disposed of 118 
amendments. Of the 77 first-degree amendments that were 
adopted, 36 were offered by Members of the Minority, including 
six by the Ranking Member. The bill adopted by the Committee is 
a true collective effort representing the diversity of 
viewpoints on this Committee.
    Our intention from the first has been to restore the 
Committee's authority to provide clear policy guidance to the 
appropriators on a range of central foreign policy issues. In 
furtherance of that goal, the introduced bill placed great 
emphasis on fiscal responsibility and was based on the spending 
levels contained in the bipartisan fiscal year 2011 continuing 
resolution. The bill reported by the Committee achieves 
billions of dollars in additional savings in comparison with 
the proposed fiscal year 2012 budget.
    The principal focus of the legislation is on ensuring 
greater efficiency and transparency in the State Department, 
the Agency for International Development, and other agencies, 
programs, and operations under the jurisdiction of the Foreign 
Affairs Committee, rather than allowing the Executive Branch 
bureaucracies and budgets to grow without accountability. 
Seeking to maximize the return on U.S. investments and to ``do 
more with less,'' it establishes clear funding priorities and 
key objectives that include:

         LReplacing failed policies in foreign 
        assistance that over decades have resulted in perpetual 
        dependence and corruption on the part of recipient 
        governments, with measures that promote economic 
        growth, as well as greater efficiency and 
        accountability to end the waste and mismanagement of 
        U.S. taxpayer dollars.

         LReaffirming U.S. support for our ally Israel, 
        including a guarantee of a qualitative military edge 
        over its enemies and continued close cooperation on 
        missile defense.

         LPlacing conditions on the provision of U.S. 
        assistance to Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen, and the 
        Palestinian Authority, to prevent U.S. taxpayer funds 
        from being used to support governments that include 
        foreign terrorist organizations or extremist groups 
        such as Hamas and Hezbollah in policy positions.

         LEnhancing U.S. nonproliferation policy, 
        including by strengthening the Proliferation Security 
        Initiative, to prevent Iran and other rogue states from 
        acquiring nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and 
        other means of assaulting the U.S. and our allies.

         LStrengthening the Committee's long support 
        for human rights and democracy programs.

         LMandating reform of the State Department 
        Inspector General and the Peace Corps, including 
        addressing the sexual assault and abuse that Peace 
        Corps volunteers have been subjected to and that have 
        been ignored or covered up by officials for decades.

    These are only a few of the major reforms this legislation 
advances. It does so within the discipline of current fiscal 
reality, where decisions must be based on a sober calculation 
of whether the likely results of programs justify borrowing the 
money to pay for them. This bill meets that exacting standard, 
even as it secures and promotes the interests of the American 
people.

                                Hearings

    The Committee and its subcommittees held numerous hearings

Hon. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Chairman,
Committee on Foreign Affairs,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Madam Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 2583, the Foreign 
Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2012.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Sunita 
D'Monte, who can be reached at 226-2840.
            Sincerely,

        Honorable Howard L. Berman
        Ranking Member
H.R. 2583--Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2012
    As ordered reported by the House Committee on Foreign 
Affairs on July 21, 2011

                                SUMMARY

    H.R. 2583 would authorize appropriations for the Department 
of State and related agencies, international assistance 
programs, and international broadcasting activities. CBO 
estimates that implementing the bill would have a discretionary 
cost of about $48 billion over the 2012-2016 period, assuming 
appropriation of the specified and estimated amounts.
    CBO estimates that enacting the bill also would increase 
direct spending by $175 million over the 2012-2021 period. 
Finally, certain provisions, if enacted, would increase 
revenues, but CBO estimates that enacting those provisions 
would have no net effect on the deficit. Pay-as-you-go 
procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect 
direct spending and revenues.
    The bill would impose intergovernmental and private-sector 
mandates, as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 
(UMRA), by prohibiting U.S. suppliers from exporting some items 
and services that are sent as non-humanitarian assistance and 
by eliminating an existing right of action in court. The bill 
would impose additional intergovernmental mandates by 
preempting state law. It also would impose an additional 
private-sector mandate by extending passport surcharges that 
are currently set to expire.
    CBO estimates that the aggregate costs of mandates on 
state, local, and tribal governments would fall below the 
annual threshold established in UMRA for intergovernmental 
mandates ($71 million in 2011, adjusted annually for 
inflation). CBO estimates that the aggregate cost of mandates 
on private entities would exceed the annual threshold 
established in UMRA for private-sector mandates ($142 million 
in 2011, adjusted annually for inflation).

                ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

    The estimated budgetary impact of H.R. 2583 is shown in 
Table 1. The costs of this legislation fall within budget 
functions 050 (national defense), 150 (international affairs), 
300 (natural resources and environment), 370 (commerce and 
housing credit), 750 (administration of justice), and 800 
(general government).

  penalties would be deposited in the Crime Victims Fund and spent; therefore, CBO estimates that the net

\2\In addition to the changes in direct spending shown above, CBO estimates that over the 2012-2021 period, H.R.
  2583 would increase direct spending by $175 million (see Table 2).

                           BASIS OF ESTIMATE

    For this estimate, CBO assumes H.R. 2583 will be enacted 
near the start of fiscal year 2012, that the specified and 
estimated authorizations will be appropriated near the start of 
each fiscal year, and that outlays will follow historical 
patterns for similar and existing programs.
Spending Subject to Appropriation
    Most of the bill's impact on spending subject to 
appropriation would stem from specified authorizations of 
almost $49 billion in 2012 for the Department of State and 
related agencies, the United States Agency for International 
Development (USAID), international assistance programs, and 
international broadcasting activities. The $49 billion 
authorized in the bill represents an increase of $2.2 billion 
(5 percent) over the amounts provided for 2011. Included in 
those amounts, H.R. 2583 would authorize the appropriation of 
$1 billion in 2012 for Foreign Military Financing for Iraq; in 
previous years that security assistance has been funded through 
the Department of Defense. CBO estimates that implementing 
those provisions would cost about $47 billion over the 2012-
2016 period, assuming appropriation of the specified amounts 
(the remainder would be spent after 2016.)
    Other provisions in the bill also would have a 
discretionary cost. CBO estimates that implementing those 
provisions would require appropriations of $1.1 billion over 
the 2012-2016 period, with outlays of $1.0 billion over that 
period.
    Department of State and Related Agencies. Most of the 
authorizations of appropriations in the bill would cover the 
operating expenses and other ongoing programs and activities of 
the Department of State and related agencies. CBO estimates 
that implementing those provisions would cost about $47 billion 
over the 2012-2016 period, assuming appropriation of the 
specified and estimated amounts.
    Bilateral Economic Assistance. Section 911 would authorize 
the appropriation of $21.2 billion in 2012 for several 
bilateral assistance programs and certain agencies such as the 
Peace Corps and the Millennium Challenge Corporation. The 
provision contains a few specific earmarks within the 
authorization but does not specify the level authorized for 
most ongoing assistance programs. CBO assumes that the 
Administration would continue to provide assistance through the 
current mix of existing programs; we estimate that implementing 
section 911 would cost $20.2 billion over the 2012-2016 period.
    Section 105 would authorize the appropriation of $1.7 
billion in 2012 for the department's Migration and Refugee 
Assistance programs and CBO estimates that implementing that 
provision would cost that same amount over the 2012-2016 
period. In total, CBO estimates that implementing the 
provisions affecting bilateral assistance programs and related 
agencies would cost almost $22 billion over the 2012-2016 
period.
    Operating Expenses. Section 101 would authorize the 
appropriation of $11.3 billion in 2012 for the State 
Department's operating expenses and programs. Section 912 would 
authorize the appropriation of $1.5 billion in 2012 for USAID 
operating expenses and programs. Finally, section 1013L would 
expand the State Department's rewards program to include paying 
rewards for preventing arms trafficking in Mexico. Based on 
information from the Administration, CBO estimates that 
implementing that provision would require appropriations of 
about $1 million a year and cost $4 million over the 2013-2016 
period. In total, we estimate that implementing those three 
sections would cost $12.4 billion over the 2012-2016 period.
    Security Assistance. Sections of titles IX and X would 
authorize the appropriation of $7.5 billion in 2012 for several 
security assistance programs, including Foreign Military 
Financing, Peacekeeping Operations (PKO), and International 
Military Education and Training (IMET). CBO estimates that 
implementing those provisions would cost $7.4 billion over the 
2012-2016 period.
    In addition to those specified authorizations, two sections 
of the bill also would have discretionary costs. Section 1031 
would expand the purpose of the PKO program to include training 
for civilian security forces. Based on information from the 
Administration, CBO estimates that implementing this provision 
would require appropriations of about $5 million a year, with 
outlays of $16 million over the 2013-2016 period.
    Section 1011A would expand the purpose of the IMET program 
to include training for international organizations. Based on 
information from the Department of State, CBO estimates that it 
would take the department a few years to establish new programs 
to fulfill that purpose and that implementing that provision 
would cost less than $500,000 initially but up to $1 million a 
year by 2015, for total spending of $2 million over the 2013-
2016 period.
    In total, CBO estimates that implementing provisions 
relating to security assistance would cost $7.4 billion over 
the 2012-2016 period.
    Contributions to International Organizations and 
Commissions. Sections 102, 103, and 104 would authorize the 
appropriation of $3 billion in 2012 for contributions to 
international organizations and international peacekeeping 
activities and various international commissions. In total, CBO 
estimates that implementing those provisions would result in 
outlays of $3 billion over the 2012-2016 period.
    Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement. Section 914 would 
authorize the appropriation of $1.6 billion in 2012 for the 
International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement program. 
CBO estimates that implementing that provision would cost $1.5 
billion over the 2012-2016 period.
    International Broadcasting Programs. Section 401 would 
authorize the appropriation of $748 million in 2012 for 
international broadcasting programs. CBO estimates that 
implementing that provision would cost $745 million over the 
2012-2016 period.
    National Endowment for Democracy. Section 106 would 
authorize the appropriation of $118 million in 2012 for the 
National Endowment for Democracy. CBO estimates that 
implementing that provision would cost $118 million over the 
2012-2016 period.
    Global Security Contingency Fund. Section 1012C would 
establish a four-year pilot program to provide security 
assistance to foreign countries that would be jointly operated 
by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of State. 
Both departments would make contributions to the fund, up to a 
joint maximum of $300 million each year. Based on information 
from the Administration, CBO estimates that DoD and the 
Department of State would require annual appropriations of $200 
million and $100 million, respectively, over the 2012-2015 
period (amounts for the State Department's costs in 2012 are 
covered by specified authorizations in other sections of the 
bill). Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO 
estimates that implementing this section would cost $984 
million over the 2012-2016 period.
    Registration Fees for Defense Trade Controls. Section 1013 
would expand the purposes for which the State Department's 
Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) can spend 
registration fees it collects from manufacturers and exporters 
of defense-related items. The DDTC collects about $40 million a 
year but is only allowed to spend those amounts on certain 
licensing, compliance, and enforcement activities. Under the 
bill, the DDTC could spend those fees for all its activities, 
thereby reducing the need for future appropriations. Based on 
information from the department, CBO estimates that enacting 
this provision would reduce the need for future appropriations 
by $13 million a year over the 2013-2016 period (the effects of 
this provision on direct spending are discussed below).
    Intellectual Property Attaches. Section 1106 would 
authorize the Department of Commerce to appoint at least 6 
intellectual property attaches to serve in United States 
embassies or other diplomatic missions. The attaches would work 
with foreign governments to enforce intellectual property laws 
generally and to reduce counterfeiting and piracy of protected 
intellectual property. The Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) 
would be responsible for training the attaches and providing 
managerial and administrative support. Currently, PTO has six 
attaches working in China, Thailand, Brazil, India, Russia, and 
Egypt; based on the agency's costs of $1 million per attache 
and adjusting for inflation, CBO estimates that appointing 6 
additional attaches would cost $30 million over the 2012-2016 
period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.
    Assistance for Tibet. Section 212 would require the 
President to provide grants to nongovernmental organizations 
(NGOs) to support various development projects in Tibetan 
communities in China. It also would authorize a Tibet Section 
within the U.S. embassy in Beijing, China, to follow political, 
economic, and social developments in Tibet and surrounding 
areas as well as a U.S. consulate in Lhasa, Tibet.
    For 2012, the President requested $3 million from the 
Economic Support Fund for NGO projects in Tibet. CBO estimates 
that under this provision that same level of funding, adjusted 
for inflation, would continue through 2016, and that providing 
this assistance would cost $11 million over the 2013-2016 
period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.
    Information from the State Department indicates that 
developments in the Tibetan region are currently monitored 
primarily by a consular office in Chengdu, China, though the 
Beijing embassy also has a political officer to cover Tibetan 
issues. Based on that information, CBO expects that current 
staff levels would be sufficient and estimates that if the 
department were to implement a Tibet section in Beijing, it 
would shift existing staff and resources. Based on information 
from the department, CBO expects that the department would not 
seek to establish a consulate in Lhasa.
    Anti-Boycott Act. Section 1103 would permanently prohibit 
U.S. individuals and businesses from cooperating with a boycott 
imposed by a foreign country against a country that is friendly 
to the United States. Under current law, the Bureau of Industry 
and Security (BIS) enforces this prohibition under section 8 of 
the Export Administration Act. That act has expired; its 
provisions, however, have been extended each year under 
authorities granted in the National Emergencies Act (Public Law 
94-412) and the International Economic Emergency Powers Act 
(Public Law. 95-223). Based on information from BIS, CBO 
estimates that implementing this provision would cost $10 
million over the 2012-2016 period, assuming appropriation of 
the necessary amounts. Enacting this provision also would 
affect direct spending and revenues; those effects are 
discussed below.
    Peace Corps. In addition to the specified authorization of 
appropriations in section 911, title VII of the bill would 
impose several new requirements on the Peace Corps to address 
concerns about the safety of its volunteers and the 
organization's response to reports of assaults on volunteers. 
The Peace Corps has indicated that it already complies or is in 
the process of complying with most of those requirements. Based 
on information from the agency, CBO estimates that implementing 
the remaining requirements would cost about $500,000 a year and 
total $2 million over the 2013-2016 period, assuming the 
availability of appropriated funds.
    Education Assistance to Africa. Section 915 would authorize 
USAID to provide assistance to establish partnerships between 
private businesses and postsecondary educational institutions 
in Africa. Based on information from the agency, CBO estimates 
that implementing this provision would cost a total of $1 
million over the 2013-2016 period, assuming the availability of 
appropriated funds.
    Embassies in Caribbean Nations. Section 1122 would 
authorize the State Department to establish U.S. embassies in 
five Caribbean nations and would withhold funding for the 
department's Overseas Building Operations program if those 
embassies have not been established by the time the number of 
Foreign Service officers (FSOs) serving in Iraq and Afghanistan 
has been reduced by 20 percent from current levels. Based on 
information from the department, CBO expects that establishing 
embassies in those nations is a low priority and the number of 
FSOs serving in Iraq and Afghanistan will increase in the near 
term as the U.S. military presence in those countries is 
reduced; therefore, CBO estimates no cost for this provision 
over the 2012-2016 period.
    Other Provisions. H.R. 2583 contains several provisions for 
which CBO cannot estimate the likely budgetary impact.
    Use of American-Made Materials. Section 1104 would require 
the Department of State to use only U.S.-made articles, 
materials, and supplies. The bill would provide some 
exceptions, such as if the items are not available or of poor 
quality, or if the Secretary determines their cost is 
unreasonable or their acquisition is not in the public 
interest. Based on information from the department, CBO expects 
that this provision would primarily affect the department's 
regular overseas operations, which are excluded from similar 
provisions in current law. Implementing this provision would 
probably increase acquisition costs, but CBO has no basis upon 
which to provide a specific estimate.
    The department's current acquisition costs are about $6 
billion a year, but it is impossible to break out how much of 
that total is for overseas operations; the department tracks 
acquisitions by whether the order was placed domestically or 
overseas, but domestic orders might eventually be shipped 
overseas for use. According to the department, implementing 
this provision would require re-training contracting officers 
in each of the department's approximately 220 locations to 
solicit bids from U.S.-based firms. Another factor affecting 
costs might be the difficulty in using warranties to replace or 
repair faulty items; many firms will only honor a warranty if 
the item is shipped back to the manufacturer.
    The department would need to develop regulations to 
implement this provision, and those regulations also would 
affect the costs of implementing this provision. For example, 
under current regulations governing domestic procurement, the 
department cannot include shipping costs in determining whether 
the cost of an item is unreasonable. If that same standard is 
applied to overseas procurement decisions, the department might 
face a significant increase in shipping-related costs.
    Limitations on Foreign Assistance. Several provisions in 
the bill, including those listed below, would limit foreign 
assistance to countries or organizations until the 
Administration can certify that specified conditions have been 
met. In most cases, the bill would allow the President to waive 
the certification requirements under certain conditions.

         LProvisions in title X would prohibit security 
        assistance authorized under the bill from being 
        provided to Egypt, Lebanon, the Palestinian Authority, 
        and Yemen.

         LSections 1025 and 1025A would strengthen 
        existing certification requirements for economic and 
        security assistance to Pakistan and would eliminate the 
        Secretary of State's ability under current law to waive 
        those certification requirements. Those provisions 
        could affect assistance that would be provided from 
        existing appropriations as well as future 
        appropriations.

         LSection 1102 would expand the conditions 
        under which the Administration must withhold 20 percent 
        of the U.S. contribution to the Global Fund to Fight 
        AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.

         LSection 1129 would limit nonhumanitarian 
        assistance authorized under the bill for Vietnam to 
        amounts provided in 2011.

         LTitle XII would prohibit assistance to the 
        Palestinian Authority. That provision could affect 
        assistance that would be provided from existing 
        appropriations as well as future appropriations.

    CBO has no basis for estimating the budgetary effects of 
those provisions because we cannot determine whether or when 
the necessary certifications would be made or if the waiver 
authority provided by the bill would be exercised.

                      DIRECT SPENDING AND REVENUES

    The bill contains provisions that would increase direct 
spending and revenues. CBO estimates that, on net, enacting the 
bill would increase direct spending by $175 million over the 
2012-2021 period (see Table 2). The net effect on revenues 
would be insignificant, CBO estimates.
    Registration Fees for Defense Trade Controls. As discussed 
above in the section on ``Spending Subject to Appropriation,'' 
section 1013 would expand the purposes for which the DDTC can 
spend registration fees. Based on information from the 
department about existing balances and expected future 
collections, CBO estimates that enacting this provision would 
increase spending for those purposes by $13 million each year 
(reducing the need for future appropriations by the same 
amount) and $130 million over the 2012-2021 period.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\The bill also contains provisions that would increase revenues by raising criminal penalties, but those
  penalties would be deposited in the Crime Victims Fund and spent; therefore, CBO estimates that the net
  effects of those provisions would be insignificant.


    Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). Section 911(c) 
would expand the pool of countries eligible for MCC assistance 
by allowing countries that make the transition from lower 
income categories to higher income categories to remain 
eligible in the lower income category for the year in which 
that transition occurs. CBO estimates that this provision would 
probably increase spending from funds previously appropriated 
because MCC could enter into more or larger compacts than under 
current law.
    Since the program's inception in 2004, the Congress has 
appropriated about $10.3 billion for MCC, though only $4.1 
billion has been spent through July 2011. MCC has used similar 
authority to enter into a compact worth about $600 million with 
Indonesia, which would otherwise have been ineligible for 
assistance in a lower income category. Based on information 
from MCC, CBO estimates that enacting this provision would have 
no effect in 2012 because MCC has already begun the 
administrative process of selecting countries for that year but 
would probably increase direct spending by $5 million a year 
beginning in 2013. Over the 2013-2021 period spending would 
increase by $45 million.
    Consular Fees. Two sections in title II would affect the 
State Department's authority to collect and spend certain 
consular fees. Those sections would have no significant net 
impact on the deficit. Section 211 would extend through 2015 a 
surcharge on passport fees and section 214 would increase the 
cost of a border crossing card (BCC) for minors from Mexico. 
The current passport surcharge is $22 and the department 
expects to issue 12.7 million passports in 2012 and 14.0 
million passports in 2013. Based on that information, CBO 
estimates the department would collect and spend an additional 
$279 million in 2012 and $308 million each year over the 2013-
2015 period.
    Under current law, the BCC fee for minors is $13 and the 
bill would raise it to half the fee for machine-readable visas 
(currently $140). Based on information from the department, CBO 
estimates that it would collect an additional $57 on roughly 
175,000 BCCs each year, for a total of $10 million, and would 
spend roughly the same amount.
    Criminal Penalties for Arms Trafficking. Section 1013K 
would increase the criminal fines for trafficking in small arms 
or light weapons in the Western Hemisphere from a maximum of $1 
million to an amount not less than $1 million and not more than 
$3 million, and increase the maximum length of a prison term 
from 10 years to 20 years. Implementing this provision could 
result in the collection of additional criminal penalties. 
Those penalties are recorded in the budget as revenues, 
deposited in the Crime Victims Fund, and later spent. CBO 
cannot estimate the magnitude of additional revenues and 
spending because we cannot determine how and to what extent the 
Department of Justice would use those authorities. In any case, 
we expect that enacting those provisions would have no 
significant net impact on the deficit.
    Anti-Boycott Act. Section 1103 would permanently authorize 
the BIS to collect civil and criminal penalties for violations 
of the boycott prohibitions. Such penalties are recorded as 
revenues; criminal penalties are deposited into the Crime 
Victims Fund and spent. CBO estimates that any additional 
revenues and direct spending would not be significant.

                      PAY-AS-YOU-GO CONSIDERATIONS

    The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-
reporting and enforcement procedures for legislation affecting 
direct spending or revenues. H.R. 2583 would increase direct 
spending by allowing additional spending of amounts already 
appropriated and of fees collected by the Department of State. 
The bill would affect revenues by increasing certain criminal 
fines. Because those fines can be spent without further 
appropriation, the net effect of such a change is 
insignificant. The net changes in outlays and revenues that are 
subject to those pay-as-you-go procedures are shown in the 
following table.

              INTERGOVERNMENTAL AND PRIVATE-SECTOR IMPACT

    By prohibiting certain types of non-humanitarian 
assistance, limiting entities' right of action in court, 
preempting state law, and extending passport surcharges the 
bill would impose both intergovernmental and private-sector 
mandates as defined in UMRA. CBO estimates that the aggregate 
costs of mandates on state, local, and tribal governments would 
fall below the annual threshold established in UMRA for 
intergovernmental mandates ($71 million in 2011, adjusted 
annually for inflation). CBO estimates that the aggregate cost 
of mandates on private entities would exceed the annual 
threshold established in UMRA for private-sector mandates ($142 
million in 2011, adjusted annually for inflation).
Mandates that Apply to Public and Private Entities
    Prohibition on Non-humanitarian Assistance. The bill would 
prohibit public and private suppliers in the United States from 
exporting defense-related items, data, and services that are 
sent as non-humanitarian assistance to any country that 
withdraws from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear 
Weapons (NPT). Given the low historical rate of withdrawal from 
the NPT, CBO expects that this mandate would be unlikely to be 
imposed. If, however, a country withdraws from the NPT, some 
entities could lose income. CBO cannot estimate the size of 
such losses because the value of assistance and exports from 
private-sector entities varies greatly and the number of items 
exported as a form of assistance is unknown. CBO estimates that 
the cost of the mandate on state, local, and tribal governments 
would be small because assistance and exports from public 
entities--primarily colleges and universities--is far more 
limited.
    Immunity from Civil Liability. The bill would add a new 
circumstance under which members of the Broadcasting Board of 
Governors would be exempt from civil liability. The bill would 
make members of the board immune from civil liability when 
acting in their capacities as members of the board of directors 
for the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Inc. Because of the 
nature of the networks governed by the board, it is unlikely 
that state, local, or tribal governments would find cause to 
file suit against board members, and civil suits by private 
entities against board members are rare. Consequently, CBO 
estimates that the cost of the mandate--the value of any 
forgone compensation for damages--would be small for both for 
public and private entities relative to the annual thresholds.
Mandates that Apply to Public Entities Only
    The bill would preempt a state or local government's 
ability to participate in, comply with, implement, or furnish 
information regarding restrictive trade practices or boycotts 
fostered or imposed by foreign countries against other 
countries. In addition, the bill would preempt state laws 
governing liability by extending the circumstances under which 
members of the Broadcasting Board of Governors would be granted 
civil immunity. Because state and local governments would not 
be required to take any action resulting in additional spending 
or lost revenue, CBO estimates that the cost of the preemptions 
would be insignificant.
Mandates that Apply to Private Entities Only
    The bill would extend the authority of the Secretary of 
State to collect a surcharge on the filing fee of each passport 
application through the end of fiscal year 2015. Because a 
passport can only be issued by the Federal Government using its 
sovereign power, increasing the cost of a passport application 
would impose a mandate on individual applicants. According to 
information from the Department of State, the current passport 
surcharge is $22 and they expect to issue 12.7 million 
passports in 2012 and 14 million in 2013. Based on those data, 
CBO estimates that the private sector would pay additional fees 
amounting to $279 million in 2012 and $308 million annually 
over the 2013-2015 period.

                         PREVIOUS CBO ESTIMATES

    On July 19, 2011, CBO provided a cost estimate for S. 1253, 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, as 
reported by the Senate Committee on Armed Services on June 22, 
2011. Section 1012C of H.R. 2583 is similar to section 1207 of 
that bill; however, the provision in S. 1253 limited the Global 
Security Contingency Fund to three years and its estimated 
costs were correspondingly lower. CBO has also used a lower 
spendout rate for estimating the costs of H.R. 2583; that rate 
is identical to the rate used to estimate the President's 2012 
request for new appropriations to the fund.
    On August 2, 2011, CBO provided a cost estimate for S. 
1280, the Kate Puzey Peace Corps Volunteer Protection Act of 
2011, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Foreign 
Relations on July 26, 2011. Provisions in title VII of H.R. 
2583 are similar to provisions in that bill; however, the 
Senate bill also contained a requirement for trained sexual 
assault liaisons at each of the agency's 76 posts and its 
estimated costs were correspondingly higher.

                General Performance Goals and Objectives

    As explained more specifically in the Section-by-Section 
Analysis and Discussion, the principal focus of H.R. 2583 is 
ensuring greater efficiency and transparency in the State 
Department, the Agency for International Development, the Peace 
Corps, the Broadcasting Board of Governors, and other agencies, 
programs, and operations under the jurisdiction of the Foreign 
Affairs Committee, rather than allowing bureaucracies and 
budgets to continue to grow unexamined. Seeking to maximize the 
return on U.S. investments, it establishes funding priorities 
and objectives that include, among others: Reducing the 
dependence of foreign governments on U.S. foreign assistance 
with new corruption-related conditions and measures that 
promote economic growth, efficiency, and accountability; 
helping our ally Israel maintain a qualitative military edge 
over its enemies, including through continued close cooperation 
on missile defense; preventing U.S. taxpayer funds from being 
used to support governments that include foreign terrorist 
organizations or extremist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah 
by placing conditions on the provision of U.S. assistance to 
Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen, and the Palestinian Authority; enhancing 
U.S. nonproliferation policy to prevent Iran and other rogue 
states from developing nuclear weapons, including by 
strengthening the Proliferation Security Initiative; mandating 
reform of the State Department Inspector General to promote its 
institutional independence and increase its emphasis on audits 
of State activities to levels similar to other statutory 
Inspectors General; and mandating institutional reform of the 
Peace Corps through structural and reporting changes to better 
protect Peace Corps volunteers from the sexual abuse and other 
victimization that has been ignored or covered up by officials 
for decades.

                        New Advisory Committees

    The new section 8E that would be added to the Peace Corps 
Act by section 702 of H.R. 2583 establishes a Sexual Assault 
Advisory Council within the Peace Corps.

                    Congressional Accountability Act

    H.R. 2583 does not apply to the Legislative Branch.

                         Earmark Identification

    H.R. 2583 does not contain any congressional earmarks, 
limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined in 
clauses 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of House Rule XXI.

               Section-by-Section Analysis and Discussion

Section 1. Short title.
    This section provides that the short title of this Act is 
the ``Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2012.''
Section 2. Table of contents.
    This section provides a table of contents for this Act.
Section 3. Appropriate congressional committees defined.
    This section specifies that ``appropriate congressional 
committees'' means the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the 
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, unless otherwise provided.

                TITLE I--AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS

Section 101. Administration of foreign affairs.
    This section authorizes certain appropriations under the 
heading ``Administration of Foreign Affairs'' for Fiscal Year 
2012 (``FY12''). Except for one minor reduction (mentioned 
below), the authorization levels equal those resulting from 
Public Law 112-10, the enacted, bipartisan Continuing 
Resolution for Fiscal Year 2011 (``FY11 CR''). The section 
includes funds for executive direction and policy formulation, 
conduct of diplomatic relations with foreign governments and 
international organizations, implementation of consular 
programs and their border security components, the acquisition 
and maintenance of office space and living quarters for the 
United States missions abroad, provision of security for those 
operations, and information resource management.
    In particular, this section provides authorization of 
appropriations for the necessary expenses of the Department of 
State and the Foreign Service. These expenses include: an 
authorization of appropriations for personnel costs; worldwide 
security protection; information technology systems; the 
construction, maintenance, and security of U.S. embassies and 
overseas facilities; educational and cultural exchange 
programs; conflict stabilization operations; representational 
allowances; protection of foreign missions and officials 
(funded at the Administration's FY12 request level, lower than 
the FY11 CR); emergencies in the diplomatic and consular 
service; repatriation loans; payment to the American Institute 
in Taiwan; and for the Office of the Inspector General.
    This section does not extend the temporary authorities 
carried in prior year appropriations bills to allow the State 
Department to provide Washington, DC locality pay to non-senior 
Foreign Service Officers stationed overseas. The permanent 
repeal of that authority was highlighted as an illustrative 
savings by the President's bipartisan National Commission on 
Fiscal Responsibility, which estimated that such an elimination 
``could save $427 million in FY2013'' alone. Earlier this year, 
the House of Representatives adopted by voice vote an amendment 
to prohibit this raise, during consideration of H.R. 1 (FY11 
Continuing Appropriations Act).
    Foreign Service Officers (FSOs) currently receive a 24% pay 
premium while stationed in Washington, DC. Overseas FSOs are 
already eligible for additional benefits that they do not 
receive in Washington, such as cost-of-living adjustments 
(known as ``post allowances''), free housing, free private 
education for their children, and danger and hardship raises 
worth up to 70% of their base pay. According to a June 30, 2011 
report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the 
Department ``has not provided any data or analysis to 
demonstrate that State's recruitment has been negatively 
affected by a lack of [DC locality] comparability pay.'' In 
fact, according to GAO, even without the extension of any 
locality-based raise overseas, the average FSO salary already 
increases by approximately $2,400 per year when FSOs move from 
DC to an overseas post.
Section 102. Contributions to International Organizations.
    The Committee-reported text of this section authorizes 
$1,186,361,250 in FY12 for U.S. assessed contributions to the 
United Nations and other international organizations of which 
the United States is a member (an amount approximately $395 
million below the FY11 CR levels in the introduced text, due to 
a Committee-adopted amendment offered by Rep. Poe). It also 
precludes use of these funds for assessed U.S. contributions to 
the Organization of American States.
Section 103. Contributions for International Peacekeeping Activities.
    This section re-asserts the statutory 25% cap on United 
States contributions for international peacekeeping activities, 
consistent with section 404(b)(2)(A) of P.L. 103-236. It then 
authorizes $1,735,382,277 in FY12 to enable the United States 
to pay assessed contributions for United Nations peacekeeping 
operations and two United Nations war crimes tribunals. A 
reduction of $148,548,723 from the FY11 CR level is 
attributable to the 25% cap.
Section 104. International Commissions.
    This section authorizes funding for FY12 to enable the U.S. 
to meet its obligations as a participant in international 
commissions dealing with boundaries, water resources, and 
related matters with Canada and Mexico; and those dealing with 
international fisheries. Paragraph (1) authorizes the FY11 CR 
levels for ``International Boundary and Water Commission, 
United States and Mexico'' ($43.3 million for salaries and 
expenses; $26.5 million for construction). Paragraphs (2) 
through (4) authorize the Administration requested levels for 
FY12. (See also the section 404 reporting requirement, to 
improve transparency regarding the operations and usefulness of 
these commissions.)
Section 105. Migration and Refugee Assistance.
    This section authorizes appropriations for the Department 
of State to make contributions to protect vulnerable refugees 
and displaced persons, including through contributions to 
international and nongovernmental organizations, as well as 
bilateral assistance. Subsection (a) authorizes $1.69 billion 
(the FY11 CR level, approximately $168 million below FY10 
actual levels) for ``Migration and Refugee Assistance'' for 
authorized activities for Fiscal Year 2012, while subsection 
(b) states that $25,000,000 of those funds authorized in 
Subsection (a) are for ``Refugee Resettlement in Israel.''
    Section 105 continues the Committee's longstanding, 
bipartisan support for the Migration and Refugee Assistance 
account, using the identical operative language carried in 
prior authorization bills, going back decades [see, e.g., 
section 104 of both H.R. 2410 and H.R. 2475 (111th Congress); 
section 104 of H.R. 2601 (109th Congress); section 115 of H.R. 
1950 (108th Congress); section 115 of H.R. 1646 (107th 
Congress); section 103 of H.R. 3427 (106th Congress); and 
section 1231 of H.R. 1757 (105th Congress)]. It does not now 
create some new, additional $1.69 billion source of funding 
independent of the Bilateral Economic Assistance heading of 
which it is a typical sub-component in annual appropriations 
bills. This fact is apparent not only in the Chairman's 
description at markup that ``the funding levels in this bill 
represent no increase from the fiscal year 2011 continuing 
resolution,'' but also from the Ranking Member's acknowledgment 
that the overall bill levels are ``more or less the same as in 
the fiscal year 2011 budget deal.'' In order to remove any 
ambiguity, the Committee intends to insert at the beginning of 
section 105 the same technical language that was inserted at 
the beginning of section 705 (Peace Corps authorization)--``Of 
the amounts authorized to be appropriated under section 
911(a)''--as the bill moves forward in the legislative process.
Section 106. National Endowment for Democracy.
    This section authorizes $118 million (the FY11 CR level) 
for the National Endowment for Democracy in FY12.

        TITLE II--DEPARTMENT OF STATE AUTHORITIES AND ACTIVITIES

Subtitle A--Basic Authorities and Activities
Section 201. Transfer of inspections back to the Secretary of State.
    As an outgrowth of Committee oversight and investigations 
into Inspector General activities, including a hearing on the 
State Department's Office of the Inspector General, as well as 
recommendations from the Government Accountability Office, this 
section shifts the responsibility for post inspections (a less 
exacting, questionnaire-driven look at post management) back to 
State Department management (which used to conduct those 
inspections), so that the State IG can focus its resources and 
energies on the audits and investigations that constitute the 
traditional, forensic work of a statutory IG. The section 
removes a prior, statutory requirement on the frequency of 
inspections, which is routinely waived in annual appropriations 
bills.
Section 202. International Litigation Fund.
    This section corrects an oversight in the 2002 
authorization to replenish the International Litigation Fund 
(which is used to defray the expenses of the United States in 
major international litigation before international tribunals, 
such as trade arbitrations), by allowing the Department to 
retain a small percentage of the awards received for 
international claims successfully prosecuted by the Department 
(rather than having to re-capitalize the ILF with U.S. taxpayer 
funds). This revision also allows the fund to be replenished 
from cases where the Department has successfully defended the 
U.S. and been awarded costs and attorneys' fees.
Section 203. Actuarial valuations.
    This section transfers statutory responsibility for 
performing actuarial duties related to the State Department's 
retirement systems from the Treasury Department to the State 
Department (which provides all of the data for those actuarial 
valuations, and is most knowledgeable about its own systems) 
thus increasing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of that 
function. The section also authorizes the Secretary of State, 
subject to amounts provided in advance in appropriations acts, 
to use monies in the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability 
Fund to cover the costs of administering those systems.
Section 204. Special agents.
    This section amends the State Department Basic Authorities 
Act to make clear that Foreign Service special agents possess 
the authority to investigate identity theft and document fraud, 
as well as federal offenses committed at U.S. diplomatic posts 
and residences overseas.
Section 205. Diplomatic security program contracting.
    This section grants the Department discretion to award 
local guard and protective service contracts in high risk areas 
(such as Afghanistan and Iraq) on the basis of ``best value to 
the Government'' (according to a defined, regulatory process) 
rather than having to go with the lowest price bid. Because 
lowest-price bidders sometimes offer their employees minimal 
training, wages, and benefits, it has led in some previous 
situations to poorly trained guard forces with low morale and 
high turnover that have undermined the effectiveness of the 
guard force at certain critical, high risk posts.
Subtitle B--Consular Services and Related Matters
Section 211. Extension of authority to assess passport surcharge.
    The Passport Services Enhancement Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-
167) amended the Passport Act to authorize the Secretary of 
State to establish and collect a surcharge to cover the costs 
of meeting the increased demand for passports as a result of 
actions taken to comply with section 7209(b) of the 
Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (P.L. 
108-458) (IRTPA). This section would temporarily extend that 
authority through 2015.
Section 212. Tibet.
    Subsection (a) amends the Tibetan Policy Act of 2002 by 
stipulating more comprehensive policy coordination on Tibet 
issues, both with other governments in multilateral efforts and 
within the United States Government under the supervision of 
the National Security Council, which is to assure 
intercommunication between all executive branch agencies in 
contact with the Government of the People's Republic of China.
    As an outgrowth of the Committee's June 2nd hearing on 
implementation of the Tibetan Policy Act, subsection (b) calls 
upon the Secretary of State to establish a Tibet Section within 
the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and calls upon the Secretary of 
State to seek to establish a United States consulate in Lhasa, 
Tibet, stipulating that, until such a consulate is established, 
the Secretary shall not permit the establishment in the United 
States of any additional consulate of the People's Republic of 
China.
    As a further result of that June 2nd hearing, subsection 
(c) amends section 620(b) of the Tibetan Policy Act to include 
the reincarnation system of Tibetan Buddhism as an issue of 
religious freedom.
    Motivated by the need for greater oversight and 
transparency in the administration of United States-funded 
assistance, subsection (d) not only directs the President to 
continue to provide grants to nongovernmental organizations to 
``support sustainable economic development, cultural and 
historical preservation, health care, education, and 
environmental sustainability projects for Tibetan communities 
in the Tibet Autonomous Region and in other Tibetan communities 
in China,'' but also subjects such grants to review and 
approval by the United States Special Coordinator for Tibetan 
Issues, a position created under section 621 of the Tibetan 
Policy Act of 2002.
Section 213. Maintenance cost sharing program.
    This section amends the Capital Security Cost Sharing 
Program (which requires non-State agencies with a personnel 
presence at overseas posts to contribute funds for their share 
of the cost of building new, secure diplomatic facilities 
overseas) so that State can also recoup the proportional costs 
for maintaining and renovating such facilities from those 
agencies. By requiring agencies to pay their share, it creates 
incentives for agencies to right-size their overseas presence.
Section 214. Border crossing card fee for minors.
    This section would change the charge for a machine-readable 
U.S. border crossing ID card for Mexican children (under the 
age of 15) from the current flat fee of $13 (set in the FY 1999 
State appropriations bill, back when normal machine-readable 
visa (MRV) fees were only $20) to a fee equal to half of the 
fee that would otherwise apply today (normal MRV fees are now 
$140, due to increased border security, fraud prevention, 
information systems, and consular staffing implemented over the 
past decade). This would allow the Department to recoup from 
those foreign applicants a greater proportion of the actual 
costs incurred in providing that service.
Section 215. Report on Office of Terrorism Finance and Economic 
        Sanctions Policy of the Department of State.
    Motivated by concerns that Iran has continued to advance 
its nuclear weapons program and sponsor terrorist organizations 
in the year since enactment of the Comprehensive Iran 
Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act (Public Law 111-
195), this section requires the State Department to submit a 
one-time report on the resources and effectiveness of its 
Office of Terrorism Finance and Economic Sanctions Policy.
Subtitle C--Other Matters
Section 221. Statement of policy on existing United States 
        understandings with Israel.
    This section states that it is shall be the policy of the 
United States to uphold and act in accordance with all of the 
reassurances provided by the President in an April 14, 2004, 
letter to the Prime Minister of Israel.
Section 222. Recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the State of 
        Israel and relocation of the United States Embassy to 
        Jerusalem.
    This section states that all official documents of the 
United States will have Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel. It 
also provides for the expiration of waiver authority under the 
Jerusalem Embassy Act as of January 1, 2014, and requires the 
United States to move its embassy to Jerusalem no later than 
that date.

           TITLE III--ORGANIZATION AND PERSONNEL AUTHORITIES

Section 301. Suspension of Foreign Service members without pay.
    This section grants the Secretary the discretion to suspend 
without pay a Foreign Service Officer credibly accused of a 
crime. This would prevent the Department from being forced to 
pay an employee who, for example, has been indicted and is 
being incarcerated pending trial. At present, no administrative 
action can be taken before such an employee has been convicted.
Section 302. Repeal of recertification requirement for Senior Foreign 
        Service.
    This section would repeal section 305(d) of the Foreign 
Service Act, which had required the Secretary to establish a 
recertification requirement for members of the Senior Foreign 
Service (SFS) equivalent to the recertification process for the 
Senior Executive Service (SES). The Homeland Security Act of 
2002 repealed recertification requirements for SES employees 
based on the assessment that those requirements did not serve a 
useful purpose (while imposing additional bureaucratic costs).
Section 303. Limited appointments in the Foreign Service.
    This section amends section 309 of the Foreign Service Act 
of 1980 to provide new authority to extend ``limited 
appointments'' in the Foreign Service. Section 309 currently 
provides that limited (non-career) appointments may not exceed 
5 years in duration and may not be extended or renewed except 
under limited exceptions.
Section 304. Limitation of compensatory time off for travel.
    This section adds a new subsection (c) to 5 U.S.C. 5550b 
limiting the accrual of compensatory time off for travel status 
away from the employee's official duty station to a maximum of 
104 hours (13 days). This 104-hour limitation is equivalent to 
standard yearly sick leave in the civil service.

           TITLE IV--UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING

Section 401. Authorization of appropriations for international 
        broadcasting.
    This section authorizes $741.5 million for International 
Broadcasting Operations and $6.875 million for Broadcasting 
Capital Improvements for FY12, amounts equal to FY11 CR levels 
(which, taken together, are approximately $19 million below the 
President's FY12 request and $10 million below FY10 actual 
levels). Of those amounts: $13.76 million are authorized only 
for Voice of America Mandarin and Cantonese language radio and 
satellite television broadcasting; and $1.5 million is 
authorized only for Voice of America Sindhi language 
communication.
Section 402. Personal services contracting program.
    This section extends through 2014 the authority of the 
Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to employ up to 60 
personal services contractors, a pilot authority that BBG has 
used to respond to needs for surge broadcasts in priority areas 
(such as the Urdu, Dari, and Pashto services) without having to 
make a longer-term investment in full-time, career employees.
Section 403. Employment for international broadcasting.
    This section clarifies that BBG has the authority to hire a 
non-citizen when no equally or better qualified U.S. citizens 
are available to fill the post in question. The United States 
Information and Exchange Act of 1948 provides authority for the 
BBG to employ non-citizens to carry out its broadcast mission. 
Voice of America research indicates that audiences are more 
likely to tune in to programs where the vernacular language is 
spoken with native fluency, and when the program content 
demonstrates a strong understanding of current local political 
and institutional developments. In many cases, well-qualified 
U.S. citizens fulfill these requirements. In other instances, 
however, the agency will employ a non-citizen who is better 
qualified. While the agency for more than 20 years has 
interpreted this section as providing flexibility to hire the 
best qualified applicant, some have attempted to claim that the 
statute requires the agency to give employment preference to 
U.S. citizens, even if a better qualified applicant, who is a 
non-citizen, is available. The section clarifies BBG employment 
authorities.
Section 404. Technical amendment relating to civil immunity for 
        Broadcasting Board of Governors members.
    The U.S. International Broadcasting Act establishes that 
all limitations on personal liability that apply to members of 
the Broadcasting Board of Governors also apply when they are 
acting in their capacities as board members of BBG's individual 
broadcast services. This section adds the Middle East 
Broadcasting Networks (established after the enactment of that 
statute) to that list of broadcast services.

                    TITLE V--REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

Section 501. Reporting reform.
    Over past decades, numerous statutes have created specific 
State Department reporting requirements in perpetuity, by 
failing to include a sunset date, leading to the accretion of 
costly reporting requirements that, over time, have become 
duplicative (of other required reporting), irrelevant (due to 
changed circumstances), and unused by Congress. This section 
would repeal 15 such discrete requirements (out of 41 such 
repeals suggested by the State Department) that either 
duplicate other reports, present information that is available 
more readily and cheaply from other sources, or have been 
rendered irrelevant by changed circumstances:
          (a) Section 560(g) of P.L. 103-87 (Newly Independent 
        States territorial integrity);
          (b) Section 605(c) of App. G, P.L. 106-113 (building 
        acquisition & security upgrades);
          (c) Section 104 of P.L. 102-511 (U.S. assistance to 
        former Soviet Union);
          (d) Section 704(c) of P.L. 101-179 (Support for East 
        European Democracy);
          (e) Section 1012(c) of P.L. 103-337 (interdiction of 
        drug trafficking aircraft);
          (f) Subsections (c)(4) and (c)(5) of section 601 of 
        P.L. 96-465 (workforce planning);
          (g) Section 585 in the matter under section 101(c) of 
        Div. A of P.L. 104-208 (DPRK fuel use and deployment);
          (h) Sections 694(a), 694(b), 704, and 1321 of P.L. 
        107-228 (Colombia activities & counternarcotics; German 
        Foundation; Russian Federation Debt Reduction);
          (i) Section 133(d) of P.L. 87-195 (good governance 
        programs);
          (j) Section 11(b) of P.L. 107-245 (Sudan war crimes);
          (k) Section 514(a) of P.L. 103-236 (Partnership for 
        Peace); and
          (l) Section 807 of P.L. 98-164 (Soviet-Eastern 
        European Studies Advisory Committee).
Section 502. Diplomatic relations with Israel.
    This section contains a reporting requirement with respect 
to United States efforts to assist Israel in its efforts to 
establish and enhance its diplomatic relations with other 
responsible countries and in appropriate multilateral fora.
Section 503. Report on progress to ameliorate violations of religious 
        freedom.
    This section requires that every five years, beginning in 
2012, the annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices must 
include, wherever applicable, a description of progress to 
ameliorate violations of religious freedom in countries 
identified by the U.S. Commission on International Religious 
Freedom as ``Countries of Particular Concern'' for religious 
freedom violations.

              TITLE VI--PROLIFERATION SECURITY INITIATIVE

Section 601. Authority to interdict certain imports to and exports from 
        Iran.
    This section authorizes the President to utilize the 
Proliferation Security Initiative and other measures deemed 
necessary to enforce U.S. laws, Executive Orders, and bilateral 
and multilateral agreements for the purpose of interdicting the 
import into or export from Iran any items, materials, goods, 
technology useful for any nuclear, biological, chemical, 
missile or conventional arms program; and to utilize ship 
boarding agreements with other countries to carry out these 
functions.
Section 602. Report.
    This section amends the reporting requirements of the Iran, 
North Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Act (P.L. 106-178) to 
include a description of the proliferation interdiction actions 
of other governments and by requiring such reports be submitted 
every 120 days.
Section 603. Definitions.
    This section defines ``appropriate congressional 
committees'' and ``Government of Iran.''

          TITLE VII--PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEER SERVICE PROTECTION

Section 701. Sexual assault complaints in the Peace Corps.
    In this section, Congress notes that the Peace Corps has 
begun responding to concerns about its handling of sexual 
assault complaints by volunteers and that Congress looks 
forward to working cooperatively on additional, necessary steps 
to protect volunteers.
Section 702. Peace Corps volunteer protection.
    This section adds several new sections to the Peace Corps 
Act:
    Section 8A. Safety and Security Agreement Regarding Peace 
Corps Volunteers Serving in Foreign Countries. This section 
requires the Director of the Peace Corps to consult with the 
Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security to form a 
memorandum of understanding that specifies the duties and 
obligations with respect to the protection of Peace Corps 
volunteers serving in foreign countries. The Inspector General 
(IG) of the Peace Corps shall review the memorandum to ensure 
it advances the safety and security of Peace Corps Volunteers. 
Unless the Director certifies that the safety and security of 
Peace Corps volunteers is not jeopardized, if the memorandum of 
understanding is not entered within 9 months after the 
enactment of the Act, no funds may be obligated to extend Peace 
Corps volunteers invitations for service or to deploy Peace 
Corps trainees overseas.
    Section 8B. Peace Corps Volunteer Protection. This section 
requires the Peace Corps to develop training for volunteers. 
This training must be developed in consultation with experts, 
comply with best practices in the sexual assault field, and be 
tailored to a volunteer's specific country. The Director also 
must provide applicants with a history of crimes at their 
assigned post and trainees the contact information of the IG 
and who to contact in the event of a sexual assault. Subsection 
(f) includes definitions of ``assault,'' ``sexual assault,'' 
and ``stalking.''
    Section 8C. Sexual Assault Protocol and Guidelines. This 
section requires the Peace Corps to develop sexual assault

can call and a sexual assault response team after a sexual 
assault. Finally, Peace Corps must review cases of responses to 
sexual assault and track and record all incidents of assault.
    Section 8D. Victim Advocates. This section requires that 
victim advocates help develop and implement sexual assault 
risk-reduction training and assist volunteers who have been 
victims of assault. This section also exempts victim advocates 
from the 5-year rule. The Director shall assign additional 
certified victim advocates as needed. It expresses the sense of 
Congress that at least 3 additional victim advocates are needed 
at this time.
    Section 8E. Establishment of a Sexual Assault Advisory 
Council. This section establishes a Sexual Assault Advisory 
Council made up of former volunteers (victims and non-victims) 
and experts in the sexual assault field to review Peace Corps 
sexual assault policy and implementation. The Council will meet 
once a year and report to Congress its findings.
    Section 8F. Volunteer Feedback and Peace Corps Review. This 
section establishes monitoring and evaluation mechanisms for 
all Peace Corps programs and staff, codifies the annual 
volunteer survey, and tasks the IG office with reviewing 
Country Directors, the effectiveness and implementation of 
Peace Corps sexual assault policy and protocol, and Peace 
Corps' confidentiality provisions.
    Section 8G. Nondisclosure of Confidential or Private 
Information. This section requires the Peace Corps to establish 
a process for Volunteers to confidentially report incidents of 
assault, misconduct or mismanagement, educate and train 
Volunteers and staff on this process, and ensures the safety of 
Volunteers by requiring the consent of the Volunteer before the 
release of any personally identifying information.
    Section 8H. Reporting Requirements. This section requires 
the Peace Corps to submit annual reports to Congress on the 
types and frequencies of crimes against volunteers for each 
country where Peace Corps serves; assaults against Volunteers; 
the monitoring and evaluation of Peace Corps programs and 
Country Directors; and a report on the costs of providing all 
Volunteers with adequate access to communications. This section 
also requires GAO to submit a report on the quality and 
accessibility of health care by the Department of Labor for 
returned Volunteers. Additionally the IG must perform an audit 
within 2 years on the implementation of the safety and security 
protocols.
    Section 8I. Portfolio Reviews. This section requires the 
Peace Corps to conduct portfolio review at least once every 
three years to review the allocation and delivery of resources 
where the Peace Corps serves. The portfolio reviews at a 
minimum shall include an evaluation of the country's commitment 
to the Peace Corps program, an analysis of the safety and 
security of volunteers, an evaluation of the country's need for 
assistance, an analysis of country program costs and 
effectiveness of program implementation, and an evaluation of 
the country's congruence with the Peace Corps mission.
Section 703. Conforming amendments.
    This section contains conforming amendments to section 5(a) 
(22 U.S.C. 2504(a)) and section 8(a) 22 U.S.C. 2507(a)) of the 
Peace Corps Act for the inclusion of sexual assault risk 
reduction and response training. Additionally, it contains a 
conforming amendment to section 5(e) of the Peace Corps Act (22 
U.S.C. 2504(e)) regarding certain services.
Section 704. Independence of the Inspector General of the Peace Corps.
    This section exempts the Inspector General of the Peace 
Corps and the officers and employees of the Office of Inspector 
General of the Peace Corps from the 5-year rule.
Section 705. Authorization of appropriations.
    This section authorizes $375 million in FY12 for the Peace 
Corps (the FY11 CR level, which is $25 million less than FY10 
actual levels, and nearly $65 million less than the President's 
FY12 request), of which not less than $4.6 million is 
authorized for the Peace Corps Office of the Inspector General.

                  TITLE VIII--NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION

Section 801. Withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
        Nuclear Weapons.
    This section 1) states that it is the policy of the United 
States to oppose the withdrawal of any country from the Treaty 
on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and to use all 
political, economic, and diplomatic means at its disposal to 
deter, prevent, or reverse any withdrawal; 2) prohibits 
assistance, other than humanitarian, to any country that has 
withdrawn; and 3) requires the United States to seek the return 
of nuclear-related material, equipment, or components 
previously provided to a country which has withdrawn.
Section 802. Prohibition on assistance to state sponsors of 
        proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
    This section 1) prohibits certain assistance to any country 
that the Secretary of State has determined has repeatedly 
provided support to the proliferation of weapons of mass 
destruction or ballistic missiles to carry such weapons; 2) 
requires this determination to be published in the Federal 
Register; and 3) conditions the rescission of any such 
determination on several criteria listed in the section. The 
President may waive this requirement on national security or 
humanitarian grounds by providing a report to the appropriate 
committees describing the reasons for the waiver, the content 
of the assistance, and the period of time the waiver will be 
effective.
Section 803. Additional protocol as a criterion for United States 
        assistance.
    This section states that 1) it is the policy of the United 
States to ensure that each country that is a party to the 
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons should bring 
into force an Additional Protocol to its safeguards agreement 
with the International Atomic Energy Agency, and 2) that 
decisions regarding providing U.S. assistance to a country 
shall include consideration of whether it has an Additional 
Protocol in force.

                      TITLE IX--FOREIGN ASSISTANCE

Subtitle A--General Provisions
Section 901. Goals of United States assistance.
    This section states that United States foreign assistance 
should aim to achieve overarching goals that help advance 
United States national interests, such as the reduction of 
global poverty, the support of human rights and democracy, and 
the expansion of prosperity through trade and investment.
    This section further notes the importance of economic 
growth within foreign assistance, and acknowledges the United 
States Agency for International Development's Global 
Development Alliance program, which characterizes the rising 
importance of private resources, partnerships, and actors in 
global development.
Section 902. Guidelines for United States foreign assistance programs.
    Motivated by the lack of effective monitoring and 
evaluation procedures in place by the numerous agencies, 
departments, and offices that implement United States foreign 
assistance, this section aims to increase accountability by 
requiring the President, in conjunction with other heads of 
agencies, to establish guidelines for measurable goals, 
performance metrics, and monitoring and evaluation plans that 
can be applied uniformly across Unites States foreign 
assistance programs.
Section 903. Report.
    Requires USAID to report to Congress within a year on the 
guidelines that have been developed under section 902.
Subtitle B--Authorizations of Appropriations
Section 911. Bilateral Economic Assistance.
    Subsection (a) authorizes not more than $21,207,400,000 
(the amount in the introduced bill, reduced by the $1.5 million 
cut by an amendment precluding U.S. assistance to the 
Trilateral Assistance Program) to be appropriated to the 
President for Fiscal Year 2012 for bilateral economic 
assistance. This is under the final Fiscal Year 2011 Continuing 
Resolution level, which is approximately $3,800,000,000 less 
than Fiscal Year 2010 levels, and less than the Fiscal Year 
2012 request of approximately $23,700,000,000.
    Subsection (b) highlights the Development Credit Authority 
program as an effective tool in bolstering microenterprise 
development and expanding access to financial services to 
underserved populations in developing countries, and authorizes 
not more than $8,300,000 to be appropriated to the President 
for Fiscal Year 2012 for administrative expenses for the United 
States Agency for International Development's Development 
Credit Authority program.
    Subsection (c) authorizes not more than $900,000,000 to be 
appropriated to the President for the Millennium Challenge 
Corporation for Fiscal Year 2012. This section also amends 
Section 606 of the Millennium Challenge Act to establish that 
any candidate country whose per capita income changes in a 
given fiscal year between ``low income'' or ``lower middle 
income,'' should retain its candidacy at the former income 
category only for the year of such transition.
    Subsection (d) authorizes not more than $115,000,000 to be 
appropriated to the President for the Democracy Fund for Fiscal 
Year 2012, for the continuation of democracy promotion 
worldwide.
Section 912. United States Agency for International Development.
    This section authorizes not more than $1,521,900,000 for 
Fiscal Year 2012 for United States Agency for International 
Development's Operating Expenses, Capital Investment Fund, and 
Office of the Inspector General. This tracks the final Fiscal 
Year 2011 Continuing Resolution level, which is $222,100,000 
less than the Fiscal Year 2012 request.
Section 913. Nonproliferation, antiterrorism, and demining.
    This section authorizes $708,540,000 for nonproliferation, 
antiterrorism, and demining programs for Fiscal Year 2012.
Section 914. International narcotics control and law enforcement.
    This section authorizes $1.597 billion for international 
counter-narcotics and rule of law activities, which the 
Committee supports largely out of concern for the narcotics 
scourge harming our national interests in Afghanistan, Latin 
America, and elsewhere.
Section 915. Partnerships between businesses and postsecondary 
        educational institutions in Africa.
    This section seeks to increase economic freedom and 
competitiveness, promote civil society, and improve the quality 
of life in Africa by authorizing the President, acting through 
the Administrator of USAID, to establish partnerships between 
businesses and postsecondary educational institutions in 
Africa, thus bridging a critical gap between classroom training 
and the real world application of business skills.
Subtitle C--Prohibitions on Assistance
PART I--GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 921. Countries that fail to meet MCC's Corruption Performance 
        Indicator.
    This section prohibits the United States from providing any 
economic or development assistance to the government of a 
country that does not meet the corruption performance indicator 
of the Millennium Challenge Corporation. The President may 
waive the restriction on a case-by-case basis for a period of 
not more than 6 months if the President determines that such a 
waiver is important to United States national security 
interests and if provides to appropriate congressional 
committees at least 15 days prior to exercising the waiver a 
report on concrete steps that the recipient country has 
undertaken to meet corruption benchmarks and on United States 
implementation and enforcement of end-use monitoring 
mechanisms.
Section 922. Foreign organizations that promote or perform abortion.
    This section states that none of the funds authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act or any amendment made by this Act may 
be made available to any foreign nongovernmental organization 
that promotes or performs abortion, except in cases of rape or 
incest or when the life of the mother would be endangered if 
the fetus were carried to term.
Section 923. Development Innovation Ventures program.
    In an effort to reduce duplicative programming within 
United States foreign assistance, this section prohibits 
funding for the United States Agency for International 
Development's Development Innovation Ventures Program.
Section 924. Countries that oppose the position of the United States in 
        the United Nations.
    This section states that none of the funds authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act or any amendment made by this Act may 
be provided as bilateral economic assistance to a foreign 
government that opposed the position of the United States at 
the United Nations. Such opposition is defined by that 
government's voting with the United States less than 50 percent 
of the time in recorded votes in the General Assembly and, if 
the foreign government is a member of the United Nations 
Security Council, in the Security Council, during the most 
recent session of the United Nations General Assembly. The 
President may waive this prohibition if he determines and 
certifies to the appropriate Congressional committees that 
doing so is important to the national security interests of the 
United States.
Section 925. Support for activities of the Global Climate Change 
        Initiative.
    This section prohibits funds authorized by this Act to be 
used to support activities of the Global Climate Change 
Initiative.
Section 926. Trilateral Assistance Program.
    This section prohibits the provision of assistance 
authorized under Section 911(a), Bilateral Economic Assistance, 
to support the ``Trilateral Assistance Program,'' a program 
through which the Government of South Africa provides technical 
assistance to third countries in Africa.
PART II--COUNTRY AND ORGANIZATION-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Section 931. Limitation on assistance to Argentina, Venezuela, 
        Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Bolivia.
    This section prohibits the use of funds authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act for assistance to the governments of 
Argentina, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador, or Bolivia.
Section 932. Muslim Brotherhood.
    This section mandates that the Secretary of State may not 
use any funds made available under this Act for assistance to 
the Muslim Brotherhood, either directly or indirectly through 
its affiliates.
Section 933. Palestinian Authority.
    This provision amends the Chapter 1 of part III of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to prohibit assistance to the 
Palestinian Authority (or any follow-on government) unless the 
President certifies that it: (1) has not unilaterally declared 
independence; (2) is engaged in peace negotiations with the 
State of Israel; and (3) is not pursuing recognition of 
Palestinian statehood at the United Nations. It provides a 
national security interest waiver.
Section 934. Sri Lanka.
    This section reflects concerns about democracy in Sri Lanka 
and the lack of progress made by the Government of Sri Lanka to 
foster reconciliation and accountability for alleged war crimes 
committed during the nearly 30-year war against the Liberation 
Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Section 934 would prohibit 
assistance made available under this Act to Sri Lanka unless 
the Secretary State can certify that the Government of Sri 
Lanka is making demonstrable progress in accountability, 
reconciliation, withdrawal of emergency regulations, and an 
improved climate for freedom of the press. The prohibition 
would not apply to democracy and governance assistance, 
humanitarian assistance, and assistance for demining 
activities. According to the Department of State, the 
Government of Sri Lanka's has to date rehabilitated and 
released more than 8,000 of the 11,600 former LTTE combatants 
taken prisoner at the end of the conflict. The Committee urges 
the Government of Sri Lanka to charge or release those persons 
still held in custody. Likewise, the Committee urges the 
Government of Sri Lanka to meet its international obligations 
by providing an independent and full accounting of the facts in 
order to ensure that allegations of abuse are addressed, and to 
prevent impunity for violations of human rights.
Section 935. Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that the 
provision of United States assistance to the Former Yugoslav 
Republic of Macedonia upon that government's willingness to 
engage in meaningful discussions with the government of Greece 
to resolve the ongoing dispute over what shall be its official 
name. This section also prohibits the use of U.S. funding for 
any activities which support any incendiary rallies, rhetoric, 
or propaganda by either the FYROM government or private 
entities, including educational materials that promote 
inaccuracies regarding the history and geography of Greece and 
FYROM.
Section 941. Transfer of liquidated assets of certain Enterprise Funds 
        to the United States Treasury.
    This section states that the President, acting through the 
Administrator of the United States Agency for International 
Development, should transfer to the Treasury of the United 
States for purposes of payment on the public debt not less than 
50 percent of all assets from the liquidation, dissolution, or 
winding up of the specified Enterprise Funds.
Section 942. Limitation on funds for USAID's Office of Budget and 
        Resource Management.
    This section states that it shall be the policy of the 
United States to reduce the replication of United States 
foreign assistance programs by seeking to consolidate budget 
authorities and policy planning for all United States foreign 
assistance within one office at the Department of State that 
shall complete both budgets for the Department of State and the 
United States Agency for International Development.
    This section prohibits funds authorized under this Act to 
be used to support the costs of maintaining the Office of 
Budget and Resource Management of the United States Agency for 
International Development.
    In addition, it requires that not later than 180 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall 
submit to Congress a report that contains a feasibility study 
and strategy to: (1) eliminate duplicative bureaus, offices, 
and positions and to consolidate such bureaus, offices and 
positions, as necessary and appropriate. Matters to be included 
are a cost estimate for the establishment of additional bureaus 
and offices of the Department of State and the United States 
Agency for International Development, as requested by the 
Secretary of State in the recent Quadrennial Diplomacy and 
Development Review, with any cost offsets created by the 
elimination of existing bureaus, offices and positions.
Section 943. Limitation on USAID training contracts under the Merida 
        Initiative.
    Concerned by the findings of a January 2011 USAID Office of 
the Inspector General audit regarding the management and 
implementation of Merida Initiative contract mechanisms by 
USAID/Mexico, this section requires that, in awarding contracts 
during a fiscal year to procure training services as part of 
the Merida Initiative, the Administrator of the United States 
Agency for International Development may not award more than 50 
percent of the dollar amount of the contracts to a single 
company.
Section 944. Internet website to make publicly available comprehensive, 
        timely, comparable, and accessible information on United States 
        foreign assistance programs.
    In an effort to create better accountability and 
transparency of United States foreign assistance programs and 
dollars, this section codifies the Administration's Dashboard 
Initiative, a public online resource that allows users to 
examine, research and track government foreign assistance 
investments in an accessible and easy-to-understand format. 
This section also requires an increased amount of timely and 
comprehensive information available for the public website, 
including country assistance strategies, annual budget 
documents, congressional budget justifications, and reports and 
evaluations for the current fiscal year and the immediately 
preceding five fiscal years.
Subtitle E--Reports and Other Matters
Section 951. Report on aid commitments and disbursements by other 
        donors and international organizations.
    In an effort to avoid duplication of efforts and improve 
the allocation and efficiency of United States assistance 
funds, this section amends Section 634 of the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961 to require the President to submit to 
the appropriate congressional committees, at the time in which 
the President submits the annual budget, a report providing the 
most up-to-date and detailed information on aid commitments and 
disbursements by other donors and international organizations 
to countries in regions for which the President is seeking 
United States assistance funds.
Section 952. Reports on financial disclosure of certain organizations 
        and businesses that receive United States foreign assistance 
        funding.
    Motivated by reports of inflated salaries to executives of 
organizations and businesses that receive United States foreign 
assistance dollars, this section aims to increase transparency 
by requiring the Administrator of the United States Agency for 
International Development to require any organization or 
business that receives more than 50 percent of its funding from 
the United States Government under the Foreign Assistance Act 
of 1961 to provide an annual report containing the names and 
all forms of compensation paid by the organization or business 
to the five most highly-compensated employees of the 
organization or business.
Section 953. Statement of policy and report on sex-selection abortion.
    This section states that it shall be the policy of the 
United States to declare sex-selection abortion a human rights 
violation, and requires that the annual Country Reports on 
Human Rights Practices include, wherever applicable, 
assessments of the extent and nature of sex-selection abortion 
in each foreign country.
Section 954. Sense of Congress regarding reducing malaria prevalence 
        and deaths.
    Acknowledging that malaria continues to be a leading cause 
of death and disease in many developing countries, particularly 
in sub-Saharan Africa, this section reaffirms the commitment 
and global leadership of the United States in supporting the 
target of ending malaria deaths by 2015.
Section 955. Sense of Congress regarding second MCC Compact with Cape 
        Verde.
    Recognizing the demonstrated commitment of the Government 
of Cape Verde to transform its economy and create sustainable 
growth, as well as its effective utilization of MCC assistance 
to date, this section expresses support for a second MCC 
Compact with that country.
Section 956. Sense of Congress regarding microfinance and 
        microenterprise programs.
    This section highlights the successful role of microfinance 
and microenterprise programs in expanding economic 
opportunities and providing financial services to vulnerable 
populations, particularly to women and the rural poor in 
impoverished countries.
Section 957. Sense of Congress regarding microenterprise development 
        assistance to sub-Saharan Africa.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that the 
United States Agency for International Development should seek 
to increase the reach, impact, and effectiveness of 
microenterprise development assistance in sub-Saharan Africa; 
adhere to the statutory requirement to direct at least 50% of 
such assistance to the very poor; and improve poverty 
assessment tools in an effort to better assist in the 
management and outreach of partner organizations to the very 
poor.

                      TITLE X--SECURITY ASSISTANCE

Section 1001. Short title.
    This title may be cited as the Security Assistance Act of 
2012.
Subtitle A--Military Assistance and Related Matters
PART I--FUNDING AUTHORIZATIONS
Section 1011. Foreign Military Financing program.
    Subsection (a) authorizes Foreign Military Financing (FMF) 
for fiscal year 2012 at $6,374,000,000, matching the mark in 
the FY 2011 continuing resolution, and also including the FY 
2012 OCO request for FMF for Iraq, to include a GAO review of 
all FMF provided to Iraq pursuant to this authorization, and 
findings stating that the transfer of responsibility for 
security assistance to Iraq from the Defense Department to the 
Department of State represents an aggregate $500 million 
decrease (see also sec. 994B, strengthening cooperation with 
audits by the Special Inspector General for Iraq). Subsection 
911(b)(1) states the sense of the Congress that the United 
States should fully implement the August 2007 security 
assistance agreement with Israel, including increases in FMF 
for Israel. Subsection 911(b)(2) amends the Security Assistance 
Act of 2000, as amended by the Security Assistance Act of 2002, 
to authorize $3,075,000,000 in FMF for Israel (in an amount 
matching the administration request), and to ensure that FMF 
funds are provided to Israel early in the fiscal year after 
such funds are appropriated. Subsection (d) withholds 25 
percent of the funds made available to the Department of State 
for the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program in Iraq for FY 
2012 until the Secretary of State submits to Congress a plan to 
manage large-scale FMF contracts in Iraq and certifies to 
Congress that sufficient management and oversight practices are 
in place with respect to such contracts.
Section 1011A. International military education and training.
    This section authorizes funding for FY 2012 for 
International Military Education and Training at $105,800,000, 
matching the level in the FY 2011 Continuing Resolution. 
Subsection (b) amends section 541 of the Foreign Assistance Act 
to authorize the use of these funds for the training of 
personnel of regional and subregional organizations for the 
purposes of contributing to peacekeeping operations.
PART II--MILITARY ASSISTANCE AUTHORITIES AND RELATED PROVISIONS
Section 1012. Authority to transfer excess defense articles.
    This provision clarifies that the aggregate annual 
limitation on excess defense articles applies to articles 
authorized to be transferred and raises the annual limit from 
$425 million to $450 million. Section 516 of the FAA authorizes 
the president to transfer Excess Defense Articles (EDA) on a 
grant basis to eligible countries justified, in the annual 
Congressional Budget Justification. While EDA can be 
transferred at no-cost, the recipient must typically pay for 
any transportation or repair charges. Under certain 
circumstances, transportation charges may be waived, with the 
cost absorbed by DOD appropriated funds. The dollar limitation 
contained in section 516(g)(1) was last modified by the 
Security Assistance Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-113).
Section 1012A. Annual military assistance report.
    This provision amends section 655 of the FAA to clarify 
that the annual military assistance report should include 
unlicensed exports of defense articles under section 38 of the 
Arms Export Control Act, as well as the actual total dollar 
value of major defense equipment and defense articles delivered 
pursuant to licenses authorized under Section 38 of the Arms 
Export Control Act. A similar provision was included in section 
127 of H.R. 5916, the Security Assistance and Arms Export 
Control Reform Act of 2008, which passed the Committee by voice 
vote during the 110th Congress.
Section 1012B. Annual report on foreign military training.
    This provision changes the date upon which the military 
training report required by Section 656 of the FAA is due to 
the Congress from January 31 to March 1, and limits the content 
to training provided during the previous fiscal year. These 
changes should improve timeliness and accuracy of reporting.
Section 1012C. Global Security Contingency Fund.
    The Committee recommends a provision that would establish a 
joint Department of State (DOS) and Department of Defense (DOD) 
fund to provide a pooled resources approach for responding to 
crises that require a range of military assistance and other 
assistance in the security sector. The provision would allow 
the DOS and the DOD to transfer up to $300 million into the 
fund to be used for enhancing the capabilities of military 
forces, and other security forces that conduct border and 
maritime security, and counterterrorism operations, as well as 
the government agencies responsible for such forces, in order 
to strengthen a foreign country's national and regional 
security interests consistent with United States foreign 
policy. Programs under the Global Security Contingency Fund 
would be jointly formulated by the DOS and the DOD and would 
support a number of existing State and DOD authorities, 
including Foreign Military Financing, International Military 
Education Training, DOS law enforcement training authorities, 
and DOD's Global Train and Equip program (``Section 1206''). 
The fund would be initially established as a 3-year pilot 
program. Funding for this program would come from existing 
appropriations for the specified security assistance accounts 
managed by the DOS and DOD, respectively. Funding for this new 
authorization would therefore not require additional 
appropriations above and beyond what has been requested and 
appropriated for these accounts in recent fiscal years. An 
identical provision was carried in the House-passed National 
Defense Authorization Act for FY 2012.
Section 1012D. International military education and training.
    Subsection (a)(1) incorporates language previously carried 
under H.R. 1473 which prohibits IMET for Chad until the 
Secretary of State certifies that credible progress has been 
made to end the recruitment of child soldiers. Paragraph (2) 
prohibits assistance for Equatorial Guinea and Somalia. 
Paragraph (3) incorporates limitations carried under annual 
appropriations bills for Angola, Cameroon, Central African 
Republic, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea and Zimbabwe. Paragraph 
(4) incorporates notification requirements carried in annual 
appropriations bills for the assistance to Angola, Bangladesh, 
Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, 
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Guinea, 
Haiti, Kenya, Libya, Nepal, Nigeria, and Sri Lanka. Paragraph 
(5) limits funds that may be made available for entertainment 
purposes. Subsection (b) incorporates quarterly reporting 
requirements carried under annual appropriations bills.
PART III--ARMS EXPORT CONTROL ACT AMENDMENTS AND RELATED PROVISIONS
Section 1013. Increased flexibility for use of defense trade control 
        registration fees.
    This section provides the Director of Defense Trade 
Controls at the Department of State with the ability to use the 
fees that it collects from arms manufacturers and exporters for 
all the expenses associated with the agency. This provision 
amends section 45 of the State Department Basic Authorities Act 
to authorize the Department to use these retained fees to 
conduct the full range of defense trade control functions and 
activities. A similar provision was included in section 107 of 
H.R. 5916, the Security Assistance and Arms Export Control 
Reform Act of 2008, which passed the Committee by voice vote 
during the 110th Congress.
Section 1013A. Increase in congressional notification thresholds.
    This section increases monetary thresholds for 15 and 30 
day Congressional review periods attendant to considering 
resolutions of disapproval of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and 
commercial arms sales under the Arms Export Control Act. For 
NATO and close partner countries, the limits are raised from 
$25 to $75 million for Significant Military Equipment (SME), 
and from $100 million to $200 million for total contract value. 
For all other countries, from $14 to $50 million for SME, $50 
to $100 million for total contract value. However, it retains 
existing statutory threshold levels for notification of the 
export to Congress. A similar provision was included in section 
124 of H.R. 5916, the Security Assistance and Arms Export 
Control Reform Act of 2008, which passed the Committee by voice 
vote during the 110th Congress.
Section 1013B. Return of defense articles.
    This provision amends section 21(m) of the AECA to permit, 
with prior State Department approval, the retransfer to the 
U.S. Government of defense articles to include SME. This 
provision will increase the flexibility of the Department of 
Defense to acquire urgently needed defense equipment not 
currently in DoD stocks.
Section 1013C. Annual estimate and justification for sales program.
    This section amends section 25(a) of the AECA (the ``Javits 
report'') to require that the annual justification for proposed 
arms sales includes a discussion of the extent to which such 
transfers advance U.S. strategies for regional security 
cooperation.
Section 1013D. Updating and conforming penalties for violations of 
        sections 38 and 39 of the Arms Export Control Act.
    This section broadens the list of statutes for which 
indictments and convictions form the basis for ineligibility 
under the AECA, as well as conforms criminal penalties under 
the Act to the standard established under The International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). It amends section 38(c) 
of the AECA by including among the definition of unlawful acts 
any violation of the U.S.-UK and U.S.-Australian defense trade 
treaties, any rule or regulation issued to enforce those 
treaties, and their implementing arrangements. In addition, 
section 38(g)(4) of the AECA (and section 127.11 of the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)) prohibit the 
issuance of export licenses or other approvals to a person, or 
any party to the export, who has been convicted of violating 
the AECA and certain other U.S. criminal statutes enumerated at 
section 38(g)(1)(A) of the AECA and section 120.27 of the ITAR. 
A person convicted of violating the AECA is also subject to 
statutory debarment under section 127.7 of the ITAR. This 
provision adds to that list of enumerated statutes the 
following: section 545 of title 18, U.S.C., relating to 
smuggling goods into the United States; section 78dd3 of title 
15, U.S.C., relating to prohibited foreign trade practices 
other than issuers or domestic concerns; section 2339B of title 
18, U.S.C, relating to providing material support or resources 
to foreign terrorist organizations; and section 2339C and D of 
title 18, U.S.C., relating to financing terrorism and receiving 
terrorism training.
Section 1013E. Clarification of prohibitions relating to state sponsors 
        of terrorism and their nationals.
    This provision amends Section 40 of the AECA to clarify 
that the prohibition on transactions with state sponsors of 
terrorism extends to nationals of those countries which have 
had substantive contacts with any country that is a state 
sponsor of terrorism sufficient to give rise to a reasonable 
risk of diversion. It also adds a conforming definition of the 
term ``national.''
Section 1013F. Exemption for transactions with countries supporting 
        acts of international terrorism.
    This section allows law enforcement agencies to engage in 
transactions for the purpose of prosecuting persons suspected 
of supporting countries that are state sponsors of terrorism. 
Section 40 of the AECA prohibits the U.S. Government from 
providing any license or other approval under Section 38 for 
any export or other transfer of a defense article or defense 
service to a state sponsor of terrorism. That section also 
prohibits any person from exporting any defense article or 
defense service to such a country. Section 40(h) exempts from 
these prohibitions transactions subject to reporting under 
title V of the National Security Act of 1947. In efforts to 
prosecute individuals providing defense articles and defense 
services to state sponsors of terrorism, many law enforcement 
agencies have had to drop or curtail criminal investigations of 
export violations because they did not fall within this 
exemption. This amendment to section 40 would remedy that 
problem.
Section 1013G. Report on Foreign Military Financing program.
    This section requires that the President provide an annual 
report on the Foreign Military Financing Program. It amends 
section 23 of the AECA to require that the President transmit 
as part of the supporting materials of the annual congressional 
budget justification a report reviewing the extent to which FMF 
requests are based on well-formulated and realistic capability 
requirements of foreign recipients; the extent to which the use 
of such authority is consistent with U.S. conventional arms 
transfer policy; and the extent to which the Department of 
State has developed and implemented specific plans to monitor 
and evaluate outcomes under the authority of this section, 
including at least one country or international organization 
assessment each fiscal year. The Congressional recipients of 
the report would be the Foreign Affairs and Appropriations 
Committees of the House and the Foreign Relations and 
Appropriations Committees of the Senate.
Section 1013H. Congressional notification of regulations and amendments 
        to regulations under section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act.
    This section adds a new requirement to the AECA that the 
President submit to the Committees on Foreign Affairs and 
Foreign Relations a copy of regulations or amendments to 
regulations issued to implement section 38 of the Act not less 
than 30 days before publication in the Federal Register unless, 
after consulting with the Committees, the President determines 
that there is an emergency that requires a shorter period of 
time.
Section 1013I. Diplomatic efforts to strengthen national and 
        international arms export controls.
    This section states the Sense of Congress that the 
President should increase efforts to strengthen multilateral 
export control regimes, with a 5-year annual report on U.S. 
efforts to do so. A similar provision was included in section 
125 of H.R. 5916 in the 110th Congress, the Security Assistance 
and Arms Export Control Reform Act of 2008, which passed the 
Committee by voice vote.
Section 1013J. Review and report of investigations of violations of 
        section 3 of the Arms Export Control Act.
    This section requires the Department of State Inspector 
General to annually review for each of the fiscal years 2012-
2016 the process of reviewing and reporting to Congress any 
misuse of U.S.-provided defense items, and to report the 
findings to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House and 
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate. The Committee 
is concerned that in recent years the Department has not 
followed a consistent practice in conducting the violations 
review process, as required by Section 3(c) of the Arms Export 
Control Act.
Section 1013K. Increase in penalties for illicit trafficking in small 
        arms and light weapons to countries in the Western Hemisphere.
    The illicit transfer of small arms to Mexico and the 
Western Hemisphere is an export violation of the Arms Export 
Control Act, as certain firearms, close assault weapons, combat 
shotguns, and related guns and armament are controlled items 
under the U.S. Munitions List. The existing penalty for such 
violations is a fine of no more than $1,000,000 per violation, 
no more than 10 years in prison, or both. The provision 
increases that fine to between $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 and 
also requires prison time of no more than 20 years, or both. 
This provision was included in section 912 of H.R. 2410, the 
Foreign Relations Authorization Act for FY 2010-2011.
Section 1013L. Department of State Rewards Program.
    This section expands the existing Department of State 
rewards program (currently targeted against persons who have or 
are planning to commit terrorist acts against the United 
States, or commit illicit drug-related offenses that violate 
U.S. narcotics laws) to authorize the Secretary of State to pay 
rewards to individuals who provide information leading to an 
arrest or conviction for exporting to Mexico small arms or 
light weapons.
Subtitle B--Security Assistance and Related Matters
PART I--ISRAEL
Section 1021. Report on United States commitments to the security of 
        Israel.
    This section requires the President to provide copies of 
all U.S. assurances made to Israel regarding its security since 
1975 and on an ongoing basis, including revisions of past 
assurances, to the Committees on Foreign Affairs and Foreign 
Relations, to enable Congressional oversight over the U.S.-
Israel security relationship. The United States has made 
numerous assurances to Israel over the years regarding its 
security, especially regarding conditions under which the U.S. 
would sell arms to Israel's neighbors. There have been 
subsequent revisions and revocations of these assurances. The 
Congress does not have access to these assurances and 
revisions, and is therefore limited in its ability to conduct 
real oversight over this critical U.S. security relationship, 
and in its ability to judge for itself the extent to which such 
assurances are being fulfilled.
Section 1021A. Clarification of certification requirements relating to 
        Israel's qualitative military edge.
    This section amends section 36(h) of the AECA to require 
that the certification requirement relating to Israel's 
military edge be provided to Congress on an unclassified basis.
Section 1021B. Support to Israel for missile defense.
    This section authorizes funding for missile defense to 
Israel through the amounts authorized for Israel through the 
FMF account. It also requires a report on activities pursuant 
to this authorization be provided as part of the annual 
Congressional Budget Justification to the Committees on Foreign 
Affairs and Armed Services of the House of Representatives and 
the Committee on Foreign Relations and Armed Services of the 
Senate.
PART II--EGYPT
Section 1022. Limitation on security assistance to the Government of 
        Egypt.
    This section requires, before Egypt can receive security 
assistance [under this Act], a certification by the President 
that: (1) the Government of Egypt is not directly or indirectly 
controlled by a foreign terrorist organization, its affiliates 
or supporters; (2) the Government of Egypt is fully 
implementing the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty; and (3) the 
Government of Egypt is destroying the smuggling network and 
tunnels between Egypt and the Gaza strip. The President may 
waive the limitation if he determines and certifies to the 
appropriate congressional committees that: it is in the vital 
national security interests of the United States; that the U.S. 
is fully implementing and enforcing end-use monitoring 
mechanisms provided through the FMF process; and that the U.S. 
has established and implemented comprehensive procedures to vet 
all recipients of U.S. security assistance to ensure that no 
recipients are members of, or affiliated with, a foreign 
terrorist organization or any affiliates or supporters thereof.
Section 1022A. Report on security assistance to the Government of 
        Egypt.
    This section requires that not later than 180 days after 
the date of enactment of this Act that the Secretary of State, 
in coordination with the Secretary of Defense provide to the 
appropriate congressional committees a comprehensive report on 
U.S. security assistance to Egypt, and requires a GAO follow-on 
report.
Section 1022B. Government of Egypt defined.
    This section defines the Government of Egypt as any person, 
agent, instrumentality, or official of, is affiliated with, or 
is serving as a representative of the Government of Egypt.
PART III--LEBANON
Section 1023. Statement of policy.
    This section contains a statement of policy with respect to 
the goals of U.S. policy toward Lebanon.
Section 1023A. Limitation on security assistance to the Government of 
        Lebanon.
    This section requires that, before Lebanon can continue to 
receive security assistance under this Act, the President must 
certify to the appropriate congressional committees (1) that no 
member of Hezbollah or any other a foreign terrorist 
organization serves in a policy position in the Government of 
Lebanon; (2) that the Government of Lebanon is comprehensively 
vetting security forces who benefit from U.S. security 
assistance; (3) that Government of Lebanon ministries that 
benefit from U.S. security assistance are financially 
transparent and accountable; (4) that the Government of Lebanon 
is dismantling foreign terrorist infrastructure, complying with 
specified international obligations, and fully cooperating with 
the Special Tribunal for Lebanon; (5) that U.S. security 
assistance to Lebanon is not used against, and will not impair 
the qualitative military edge of, Israel; and (6) that the 
Government of Lebanon has taken effective steps and made 
progress toward assuming full control of its territory. It 
further requires recertifications not later than 90 days after 
an initial certification and every six months thereafter or a 
report containing reasons why the recertification could not be 
made. In addition, waiver authority is provided if the 
President determines and certifies to the appropriate 
congressional committees 15 days prior to the exercise of the 
waiver authority that: (1) it is in the vital national security 
interests of the United States; (2) the U.S. is fully 
implementing and enforcing end-use monitoring mechanism on US-
origin equipment provided to Lebanon [through the FMF program]; 
and the U.S. has established and implemented comprehensive 
procedures to vet all recipients of US security assistance, to 
ensure that no recipients are members of, or affiliated with, a 
foreign terrorist organization. An amendment offered by the 
Ranking Member to exempt IMET from this provision was defeated 
in a Committee vote.
Section 1023B. Report on security assistance to the Government of 
        Lebanon.
    This section requires that not later than 180 days after 
the date of enactment of this Act in connection with the annual 
congressional budget justification, that the Secretary of State 
provide a comprehensive report to the appropriate congressional 
committees on U.S. security assistance to Lebanon.
Section 1023C. Government of Lebanon defined.
    This section defines the Government of Lebanon as any 
person, agent, instrumentality, or official of, is affiliated 
with, or is serving as a representative of the Government of 
Lebanon.
PART IV--PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
Section 1024. Limitation on security assistance to the Palestinian 
        Authority.
    This section requires, before the Palestinian Authority 
(PA) can continue to receive security assistance authorized 
under this Act, the President must provide a certification to 
the appropriate congressional committees that no member of 
Hamas or any other foreign terrorist organization serves in a 
policy position in a ministry, agency, or instrumentality of 
the PA; that the PA is taking all necessary steps and actions 
to implement the 2005 security reorganization program, and 
implement an inclusive, standards-based approach to 
recruitment; all PA ministries and operations that receive U.S. 
security assistance are financially transparent and 
accountable; the PA is dismantling all foreign terrorist 
organizations infrastructure, confiscating unauthorized 
weapons, thwarting and preempting terrorist attacks, and fully 
cooperating with Israel's security services; the PA is fully

Jewish state. A recertification is required 90 days after the 
date of enactment of this Act and every six months thereafter 
or a report to the appropriate congressional committees if the 
recertification is not made. The President may exercise waiver 
authority if the President determines and certifies to the 
appropriate congressional committees 15 days prior that: (1) it 
is in the vital national interests of the U.S.; the U.S. is 
fully implementing and enforcing end-use monitoring mechanisms 
for equipment provided through the FMF program, and that such 
equipment is accounted for; and the U.S. has established and 
implemented comprehensive vetting procedures to ensure that 
recipients of U.S. security assistance are not members of, or 
affiliated with, a foreign terrorist organization.

    This section defines the Palestinian Authority as any 
person, agent, instrumentality, or official of, is affiliated 
with, or is serving as a representative of the Palestinian 
Authority.
PART V--PAKISTAN
Section 1025. Authorization of appropriations.
    This provision amends section 102 of the Enhanced 
Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2009 to provide that no funds 
for civilian assistance authorized pursuant to that Act may be 
obligated in fiscal years 2012-2014 unless the Congress 
receives a certification from the Secretary of State that 
Pakistan is making ``measurable'' progress toward meeting the 
principal objectives of United States assistance to Pakistan as 
described by the report required in section 301. In addition, 
no funds for civilian assistance to Pakistan may be made 
available until the Secretary of State makes the certification 
required by section 203, as amended by this title, of the 
Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act. The amendment also 
strikes the waiver authority provided in section 102(c) and the 
sense of congress provision in 102(d).
Section 1025A. Limitations on certain assistance.
    This section strengthens the limitation on security 
assistance contained in section 203 of the Enhanced Partnership 
with Pakistan Act. It stipulates that the certification 
required under that section now be made by the Secretary of 
State in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and 
Director National Intelligence. The certification contained in 
section 203(c) now requires requiring that the Secretary of 
State certify that Pakistan has made ``demonstrable progress'' 
in combating terrorist groups before providing certain 
security-related assistance to Pakistan. It adds new 
requirements to the certification relating to the extent to 
which Pakistan is fully assisting the United States in 
investigating the presence of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, visa 
issuance for U.S. personnel, with respect to cooperation in the 
flow of improvised explosive device materials to Afghanistan, 
and the use of defense articles and services transferred by the 
United States pursuant to the Foreign Military Sales program. 
It also adds new language to existing requirements under the 
certification to include reference to the Haqqani Network and 
full implementation of counterterrorism and anti-money 
laundering laws. In addition, it strikes the waiver authority 
in section 203(e). It also amends the definition of appropriate 
congressional committees for purposes of receipt of the 
certification required by section 203.
Section 1025B. Strategy reports.
    This provision amends section 301 of the Enhanced 
Partnership with Pakistan Act to require that the report be 
provided in each of the fiscal years 2012-2014, clarifies 
certain reporting requirements, and adds new reporting 
requirements relating to transparency and accountability of 
U.S. assistance to that country, as well as Department of State 
planning for incorporating support for private sector 
development and enhanced trade opportunities as part of the 
foreign assistance approach to Pakistan.
PART VI--YEMEN
Section 1026. Limitation on security assistance to the Government of 
        Yemen.
    This section requires, before Yemen can continue to receive 
security assistance under this Act, the President must certify 
to the appropriate congressional committees that, among other 
requirements, no ministry, agency, or instrumentality of the 
Government of Yemen is controlled by a foreign terrorist 
organization or is directly or indirectly affiliated with a 
foreign terrorist organization; and that no member of a foreign 
terrorist organization serves in any policy position in a 
ministry, agency, or instrumentality of the Government of 
Yemen. A recertification is required 90 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act and every six months thereafter or a 
report to the appropriate congressional committees if the 
recertification is not made. In addition, the President may 
waive this requirement upon determining and certifying to the 
appropriate congressional committees 15 days prior that: (1) it 
is in the vital national interests of the U.S.; the U.S. is 
fully implementing and enforcing end-use monitoring mechanisms 
for equipment provided through the FMF program and that such 
equipment is accounted for; and the U.S. has established and 
implemented comprehensive vetting procedures to ensure that 
recipients of U.S. security assistance are not members of, or 
affiliated with, a foreign terrorist organization or any 
affiliates or supporters thereof.
Section 1026A. Report on security assistance to the Government of 
        Yemen.
    This section requires that 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act that the Secretary of State, in 
coordination with the Secretary of Defense, submit a 
comprehensive report on U.S. security assistance to the 
Government of Yemen, and requires a GAO follow-on report.
Section 1026B. Government of Yemen defined.
    This section defines the Government of Yemen as any person, 
agent, instrumentality, or official of, is affiliated with, or 
is serving as a representative of the Government of Yemen.
PART VII--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 1027. Definitions.
    Section 994(1) defines appropriate congressional committees 
to include the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee 
on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on 
Appropriations of the Senate. Section 994(2) defines the term 
``foreign terrorist organization'' to be consistent with 
section 219(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Section 
994(3) defines the term ``qualitative military edge'' to have 
the same meaning as in section 36(h(2) of the AECA. Section 
994(4) defines U.S. security assistance to mean assistance 
authorized under Part II of the FAA, or any other Act under 
which the U.S. provides defense articles, military training, or 
other defense related services. Section 994(5) defines the term 
security cooperation program to include interactions with 
foreign defense and internal security establishments.

Subtitle C--Peacekeeping Operations
Section 1031. Peacekeeping operations.
    This section grants certain authorities, sets limitations, 
and authorizes appropriations for the provision of assistance 
``for peacekeeping operations and other programs carried out in 
furtherance of the national security interests of the United 
States'' consistent with Section 551 of the Foreign Assistance 
Act of 1961. Subsection (a) enables the United States to 
enhance the capacity of civilian security forces to participate 
in peacekeeping operations, notwithstanding Section 660 of the 
Foreign Assistance Act, which established a broad prohibition 
on police training. Paragraph (2) provides notwithstanding 
authority, upon consultation with Congress, to support 
disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration programs for 
former members of foreign terrorist organizations.
    Subsection (b) amends the Child Soldier Prevention Act to 
prohibit Peacekeeping Operations assistance to countries that 
recruit and use child soldiers, in addition to International 
Military Education and Training, Foreign Military Financing, 
and Excess Defense Articles.
    Subsection (c) incorporates reporting requirements carried 
in annual appropriations bills.
    Subsection (d) authorizes $304,390,000 million in 
appropriations for Peacekeeping Operations assistance in FY12, 
which is equal to the FY11 enacted level. This section also 
authorizes payment of assessed contributions for peacekeeping 
operations in Somalia and U.S. contributions to the 
Multinational Force Observers mission in the Sinai.
Subtitle D--Reports
Section 1041. Report on transparency in NATO arms sales.
    This section requires the Secretary of State, in 
coordination with the Secretary of Defense, to provide an 
annual report on sales and financing of defense articles and 
defense services in excess of $50,000,000 by North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries (other than the

for International Development.

                   TITLE XI--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Subtitle A--General Provisions
Section 1101. Elimination of East-West Center.
    This section would prohibit the Secretary of State from 
using funds authorized to be appropriated to support the East-
West Center, and repeal the Center for Cultural and Technical 
Interchange Between East and West Act of 1960 (P.L. 86-472). 
After years of generous federal support, the Committee believes 
that the Hawaii-based East-West Center should rely on the 
numerous other sources of revenue the Center enjoys to produce 
its seminars, reports and exchanges.
    According to budget documents, the East-West Center was 
established by Congress in 1960 because, ``Asians knew little 
about America and vice versa.'' It was given the mission to 
promote ``understanding.'' Fifty years later, thanks to the 
Internet, trans-Pacific travel, trade ties, as well as vibrant 
Asian American communities, U.S. ties to Asia have 
significantly deepened, eroding the East-West Center's raison 
d'etre. Further, since the Center's inception, numerous 
privately funded think tanks and institutions have developed 
and today do similar work.
    Despite this trend, the federal contribution to the East-
West Center has substantially grown. Due to strong advocates in 
the Senate, Congress has dramatically surpassed Administration 
requests for funding of the Center. For example, in FY10, the 
Administration requested $11.7 million for the Center. Yet, the 
State Department administered an appropriation of $23 million. 
Other U.S. agencies also contributed to the Center's budget. 
Another $10 million was provided through funding from private 
foundations, foreign governments and institutions, regional 
organizations and the private sector. This funding pattern for 
FY10 is typical of recent funding for the Center.
    At a time when federal resources are increasingly strained, 
the Committee believes that the State Department must limit its 
funding to only the most vital programs. The Committee judges 
that the East-West Center does not meet that standard, and 
should rely on non-federal funding.
    The Committee considered an amendment to strike this 
section of the bill, which failed by a roll call vote of 17 
ayes and 26 noes.
Section 1102. Inspector General of the Global Fund.
    This section adds benchmarks regarding the independence of 
the Office of the Inspector General of the Global Fund to Fight 
AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis to the State Department 
certification required by Public Law 108-25. That Public Law 
requires the withholding of 20 percent of appropriated funds 
for the United States contribution to the Global Fund until the 
Secretary of State certifies that the Global Fund is 
implementing specific reforms to enhance efficiency, 
transparency and accountability.
Section 1103. Antiboycott provisions.
    This section contains sense of Congress language related to 
continuing U.S. efforts to oppose the Arab League Boycott of 
Israel. This provision contains the Antiboycott Act, which 
directs the President to issue regulations prohibiting, with 
specified exceptions, any U.S. person from taking specified 
actions to support (or actions to evade such regulations) any 
foreign-imposed or fostered boycott against a country that is 
friendly to the United States and is not itself the object of 
any form of U.S. boycott; sets forth civil penalties for 
violations of such regulations. This provision was amended in 
Committee by an amendment offered by the Ranking Member.
Section 1104. American materials required for public use of certain 
        funds.
    This section would extend certain ``Buy America'' 
provisions to the Department of State by requiring the 
Department to purchase goods produced or manufactured in the 
United States (subject to certain exceptions based on urgency, 
availability, quality, and contract amount), unless the 
Secretary determines such purchase to be inconsistent with the 
public interest or unreasonably costly.
Section 1105. Prohibition on disclosure of political contributions in 
        submitting offers for Department of State contracts.
    This section precludes the Secretary of State from 
requiring potential vendors or contractors to disclose certain 
information relating to political contributions by that entity, 
its officers or directors, or any of its affiliates or 
subsidiaries.
Section 1106. Protection of intellectual property rights.
    This section requires the Secretary of State to make the 
protection of intellectual property a significant component of 
U.S. foreign policy and to ensure that adequate resources are 
available to support enforcement action and relevant reforms at 
U.S. missions in specified countries. The Secretary of State is 
required to appoint at least one intellectual property attache 
in each geographic region listed in the section, with priority 
given to countries where an attache will have the greatest 
potential benefit. The Secretary of State shall consider 
certain criteria specified in the section in making 
appointments and also ensure that each attache is fully trained 
before assuming duties. This section specifies that the 
attaches' activities shall be carried out in coordination with 
the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator.
    This section also requires the Secretary of State to 
provide an annual report to Congress on the attaches that must 
include information specified in the section. The section also 
defines several terms and authorizes amounts necessary for the 
training and support of attaches.
Section 1107. Inter-country adoption strategy.
    This section states that the Secretary should develop and 
define a strategy for inter-country adoptions, and expresses 
the sense of Congress supporting efforts to help other 
countries come into compliance with the Hague Convention on 
Intercountry Adoption.
Section 1108. Clarification of sensitive technologies for purposes of 
        procurement ban.
    Section 106 of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, 
Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (CISADA) provides 
for sanctions against firms that provide Iran with sensitive 
technologies that allow the Government of Iran to monitor, 
disrupt, or filter the free flow of information to and from the 
people of Iran. On September 23, 2010, the President delegated 
authorities provided under section 106 of that Act to the 
Secretary of State. On June 30, 2011, the Government 
Accountability Office issued a report, pursuant to section 106 
of that Act and other legislation, entitled ``Iran 
Communications Blocking'' (GAO-11-706R). That report notes that 
the Department of State has not identified any firms that have 
provided Iran with such sensitive technology, and that the 
Department of State has no intention ``to further refine the 
definition of sensitive technologies beyond hardware, software, 
telecommunications equipment, or any other technology the 
President determines is to be used to monitor, filter, or 
disrupt information and communication flows in Iran.'' The 
report further notes that many communications technologies may 
be used for legitimate purposes as well as disruption and 
surveillance, making a determination of the buyer's or seller's 
intent difficult to discern. This provision mandates that not 
later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
the Secretary of State shall issue guidelines to further 
describe the goods, services, and technologies that will be 
considered ``sensitive technologies'' for purposes of section 
106 of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and 
Divestment Act of 2010 (22 U.S.C. 8515), and publish those 
guidelines in the Federal Register; determine the types of 
goods, services, and technologies that enable any indigenous 
capabilities that Iran has to disrupt and monitor information 
and communications in that country, and consider adding 
descriptions of those items to the guidelines; and periodically 
review the guidelines and, if necessary, amend the guidelines 
on the basis of technological developments and new information 
regarding transfers of goods, services, and technologies to 
Iran and the development of Iran's indigenous capabilities to 
disrupt and monitor information and communications in Iran.
Section 1109. Curtailing the frequency of international maritime 
        piracy.
    This section directs the President to publish the names of 
maritime operators who are continually disregarding industry-
developed ``best management practices,'' shining a spotlight on 
them.
    Maritime piracy off the coast of Somalia is rapidly 
expanding, and there are concerns it could financially support 
terrorist groups. The shipping industry has developed 
internationally recognized ``best management practices'' to 
decrease the risk of being pirated. However, approximately 20 
percent of ships do not employ these ``best management 
practices.'' It is these 20 percent that make up the vast 
majority of ships that are pirated.
    At a June 15, 2011 hearing before the Subcommittee on 
Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade, the Assistant Secretary 
of State for Political-Military Affairs testified that the 
United States needs to pressure those that are not following 
``best management practices'' to do so.
    The Committee judges that the public listing of these 
maritime operators is one such way to do so. The listing 
requirement shall terminate once the President certifies that 
the insufficient use of internationally recognized ``best 
management practices'' is no longer a contributing factor in 
the rise of maritime piracy off the coast of Somalia.
Section 1110. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and 
        Religious Freedom.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that within 
the next year, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) 
should review its processing of Religion-Based Refugee Claims 
under article 1A(2) of the 1951 Refugee Convention, and 
thoroughly train UNHCR staff for assessing Religion-Based 
Refugee Claims. It also requires a one-time State Department 
report to Congress on whether UNHCR has accomplished these 
measures, and on any steps by UNCHR to strengthen 
implementation of the UNHCR Guidelines for International 
Protection for Religion-Based Refugee Claims.
Section 1111. Exchange program for women legislators and civil society 
        leaders.
    This section states that the Secretary should encourage 
exchanges for women legislators and civil society leaders to 
promote the advancement of women in parliaments and civil 
society, reduce discriminatory barriers, and promote human and 
civil rights, with a focus on the countries of Afghanistan, the 
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Liberia, and South 
Sudan.
Section 1112. National interest waiver under the Child Soldiers 
        Prevention Act of 2008.
    In an effort to strengthen enforcement of the Child 
Soldiers Prevention Act of 2008, this section requires the 
President to provide a justification to Congress at least 15 
days in advance of exercising a national interest waiver 
pursuant to Section 404(c) of such Act, including a 
certification that the government of the country for which the 
waiver will be exercised has taken credible and verifiable 
steps to implement a plan of action to end the recruitment and 
use of child soldiers, including the demobilization of child 
soldiers.
Subtitle B--Country-specific Provisions
Section 1121. Azores Cooperative Initiative Program.
    This section authorizes the Secretary of State to support 
the already existing Azores Cooperative Initiative Program 
(including up to $200,000 from existing FY12 funds), which 
seeks solutions pursuant to a 1995 agreement between the United 
States and Portugal in areas of science, technology, education, 
environment, and agriculture.
Section 1122. United States embassies in Caribbean countries.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that the 
Department of State should establish embassies in Antigua and 
Barbuda, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. 
Vincent and the Grenadines, where the United States does not 
now have embassies. The Committee expects this to be a cost 
neutral measure contingent on the reassignment of diplomatic 
billets once the total number of Foreign Service officers in 
the United States embassies in Iraq and Afghanistan has been 
reduced by 20 percent as compared to the total number of such 
officers as of the date of the enactment of this Act.
Section 1123. Limitation on funds for U.S.-China Center of Excellence 
        on Nuclear Security.
    This section prohibits funds for the U.S.-China Center of 
Excellence on Nuclear Security, unless the President determines 
that the provision of such funds is in the national security 
interest of the United States because it would contribute to 
efforts to prevent terrorists from obtaining radioactive 
materials that could be used in an explosive device.
Section 1124. Visas for certain citizens of the People's Republic of 
        China.
    Motivated by concerns that there is lack of reciprocity in 
the issuance of visas for U.S. Government-sponsored media 
workers to China vis-a-vis the number of visas issued to 
Chinese Government-sponsored media workers entering the United 
States, this section calls upon the Secretary of State to enter 
into an agreement with the People's Republic of China to seek 
reciprocity for such visa issuances.
Section 1125. Report on the influence of the People's Republic of China 
        in Southwest Asia.
    This section requires a report 180 days after enactment of 
this Act and annually two years thereafter on China's strategic 
interests in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The provision states 
that the required report may be submitted in classified form 
and unclassified form, but the unclassified portion of the 
report must be published on the website of the Department of 
State.
Section 1126. Enforcement of United States regulations on travel to 
        Cuba.
    This section requires the President to fully enforce all 
United States regulations, as in effect on January 19, 2009, 
regarding travel to Cuba. It also calls on the President to 
impose the corresponding penalties against individuals 
determined to be in violation of such regulations.
Section 1127. Measures supporting the reunification of Cyprus.
    This section establishes that it shall be the policy of the 
United States to support measures aimed at the reunification of 
Cyprus. It also calls upon the President to consult with the 
Government of the Republic of Cyprus on the provision of U.S. 
assistance to Cyprus. Finally, this section modifies statutory 
reporting and requires the State Department to provide Congress 
with a detailed description of all assistance programs and 
activities that are funded by the U.S. to help the 
reunification efforts, and to provide assistance to Cyprus only 
for programs and activities that are consistent with the goal 
of reunification of Cyprus and the achievement of a bi-
communal, bi-zonal federation.
Section 1128. Pending claims against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
    By including this section in the bill the Committee seeks 
to have the Department of State actively and aggressively 
engage the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to have any unpaid and 
outstanding claims of the Special Claims Process resolved, 
settled, and paid in full. In subsection (a), the Committee 
finds that: Since 1992 the Committee has conducted hearings 
regarding U.S. companies providing goods and services to the 
Kingdom; those companies then experienced certain commercial 
abuses by the Kingdom; the Committee of Foreign Affairs of the 
House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations 
of the Senate initiated the Special Claims Process to resolve 
certain claims arising out of those commercial abuses, which 
were included in subsequent legislation; and not all claims 
listed in the Special Claims Process have been resolved and 
settled. The Committee also found that failure to resolve all 
such claims has set a poor precedent for dispute resolution and 
trade relations between the United States and the Kingdom of 
Saudi Arabia. Subsection (b) expresses the sense of Congress 
that the Secretary of State should immediately engage with the 
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to resolve any outstanding claims 
through the Special Claims Process, and that failure to resolve 
claims should be taken into account when the U.S. is reviewing 
its relations with the Kingdom, including current and future 
trade agreements and related activities. The Secretary of State 
is also required under Subsection (c) to submit a report not 
later than thirty days after enactment of this Authorization 
bill detailing the progress achieved in resolving the claims 
which remain outstanding, and then another report on the same 
is to be submitted 120 days thereafter.
Section 1129. Promotion of human rights in Vietnam.
    Pointing out the lack of progress made in areas involving 
human rights and religious freedom in Vietnam since the 
accession of Vietnam to membership in the World Trade 
Organization (WTO) in 2007, this section prohibits any increase 
in non-humanitarian assistance to the Government of Vietnam in 
an amount that exceeds the amount provided in fiscal year 2011 
unless the Federal Government provides assistance for human 
rights, civil society and rule of law training and 
parliamentary exchanges, and the President certifies to the 
Congress that Vietnam has met certain benchmarks with regards 
to human rights and religious freedom, such required 
certification, however, being subject to a waiver in the 
national interest.
Subtitle C--Statements of Policy
Section 1131. Ecumenical Patriarchate.
    This section states that the United States calls upon the 
Republic of Turkey to eliminate all forms of discrimination, 
particularly with regard to religion and race, and to 
immediately grant the Ecumenical Patriarchate appropriate 
international recognition and ecclesiastic succession without 
interference, the ability to train clergy of all nationalities, 
not only Turkish citizens, and respect the human and property 
rights of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
Section 1132. Special Envoy for the Great Lakes Region of Africa.
    This section calls upon the President to appoint an Envoy 
for the Great Lakes Region of Africa, consistent with section 
107 of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, 
and Democracy Promotion Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-456; 22 
U.S.C. 2151 9 note).
Section 1133. Lord's Resistance Army.
    This section asserts that it shall be the policy of the 
United States implement the Administration's strategy released 
in November 2010, to mitigate and eliminate the threat to 
civilians and regional stability posed by the Lord's Resistance 
Army (consistent with section 4 of the Lord's Resistance Army 
Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009), and to 
investigate, hold accountable, and impose sanctions against 
those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity in 
the Republic of Sudan or Republic of South Sudan.
Section 1134. Camp Ashraf.
    The Committee remains concerned about the repeated actions 
by Iraqi forces against the residents of Camp Ashraf. United 
States Embassy Statement on Transfer of Security Responsibility 
for Camp Ashraf of December 28, 2008, clearly states that, 
``The Government of Iraq has provided the US Government written 
assurances of humane treatment of the Camp Ashraf residents in 
accordance with Iraq's Constitution, laws and international 
obligations.'' Thus, the Government of Iraq was expected to 
comply with the agreement signed with the United States 
guaranteeing the physical security and protection of Ashraf 
residents following the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the 
area. However, it appears the Government of Iraq has failed to 
live up to these commitments and meet its obligations to ensure 
the well-being of those living in Ashraf, prevent their 
involuntary return to Iran, refrain from harming those 
residents, and proactively ensure that the humanitarian 
protections to which Ashraf's residents are entitled, and which 
they were promised, will be upheld. Accordingly, this provision 
states that it shall be the policy of the United States to (1) 
urge the Government of Iraq to uphold its commitments to the 
United States to ensure the continued well-being of those 
individuals living in Camp Ashraf and prevent their involuntary 
return to Iran in accordance with the United States Embassy 
Statement on Transfer of Security Responsibility for Camp 
Ashraf of December 28, 2008; (2) take all necessary and 
appropriate steps in accordance with international agreements 
to support the commitments of the United States to ensure the 
physical security and protection of Camp Ashraf residents; and 
(3) take all necessary and appropriate steps to prevent the 
forcible relocation of Camp Ashraf residents inside Iraq and 
facilitate the robust presence of the United Nations Assistance 
Mission in Iraq in Camp Ashraf.
Section 1135. Human rights abuses by the Government of Syria.
    Based on the continuing crackdown in Syria against peaceful 
opposition to the regime, this provision states that it shall 
be the policy of the United States to: Continue to strongly 
condemn the Government of Syria's suppression of pro-democracy 
protests and its extensive and systematic violations of and 
denial of the human rights of the Syrian people; and fully 
implement and enforce the full range of United States sanctions 
against the Government of Syria pursuant to the Syria 
Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 
2003, and other provisions of law.
Section 1136. Relations with Russia.
    This section states that it shall be the policy of the U.S. 
to 1) strengthen bilateral relations with Russia, 2) encourage 
the development by Russia of rules to improve its trade and 
investment climate, 3) cooperate with the Russian government 
and civil society to implement political and economic reforms, 
and 4) cooperate with Russia in certain foreign policy matters.
Section 1137. Cote d'Ivoire.
    This section condemns the attempt by former Ivoirian 
President Laurent Gbagbo to remain in power despite having lost 
democratic elections, thus sparking a bloody conflict; welcomes 
the arrest of Gbagbo and calls upon his supporters to lay down 
their arms; calls for an immediate end to violence, human 
rights violations, and acts of intimidation against UN 
peacekeepers; supports the application targeted sanctions; 
calls an impartial and independent investigation into all 
allegations of mass killings and other abuses; and urges the 
Government of Cote d'Ivoire to immediately commence national 
reconciliation and reconstruction efforts, and facilitate the 
safe and voluntary returns.
Section 1138. Water and sanitation.
    This section notes that the United States has designated 
Global Health as a policy priority, and that clean, portable 
water and adequate sanitation are critical foundations for 
healthy societies. Therefore, this section states that it shall 
be the policy of the United States to address waterborne 
illnesses and conditions related to poor sanitation as 
priorities of United States global health policy.
Subtitle D--Sense of Congress Provisions
PART I--GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 1141. Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
    This section includes findings regarding the purposes, 
scope, and utility of U.S. educational, cultural, and 
professional exchange programs, and expresses the sense of 
Congress that the State Department's Bureau of Educational and 
Cultural Affairs fosters mutual understanding between the 
people of the United States and other countries. Committee 
adoption of this amendment language offered by Rep. Schwartz in 
no way represents any change in policy or endorsement of 
exchanges involving persons affiliated with State Sponsors of 
Terrorism.
Section 1142. Department of State code of conduct to prevent human 
        trafficking.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary should institute a code of conduct within the 
Department of State to prevent severe forms of trafficking in 
persons and ensure that State Department contractors do not 
engage in trafficking in persons.
Section 1143. Public diplomacy.
    This section includes findings regarding the growth of new 
media and their relevance to efforts to combat terrorism, and 
expresses the sense of congress that (1) strengthening U.S. 
public diplomacy through private sector collaboration is a 
foreign policy priority, and (2) the Secretary of State should 
consider ways to strengthen outreach to key audiences in Egypt, 
Pakistan, Turkey, and Russia.
Section 1144. Human rights priorities.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of State should ensure that fundamental human rights 
are incorporated, on a basis at least equal to economic and 
political factors, into United States bilateral relationships.
Section 1145. Discouraging murder and other forms of violence.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of State should discourage foreign governments from 
condoning murder and physical violence directed against persons 
because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Section 1146. International cooperation in space.
    This section states the sense of Congress that efforts to 
expand international cooperation in space should not include 
participation by entities owned, controlled, chartered by, or 
located within the People's Republic of China.
Section 1147. Boundary, water, and fisheries commissions.
    This section notes the fact that a number the boundary, 
water, and fisheries commissions (authorized in section 104) 
are significantly behind on their annual reports, which often 
do not include sufficient detail to allow assessment of their 
programmatic and fiscal activities, and expresses the sense of 
Congress that timely and adequate reporting is necessary to 
maintaining public support for continued funding.
PART II--COUNTRY-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Section 1151. Keystone XL pipeline.
    This section urges the Secretary of State to promptly 
authorize the Presidential Permit for the TransCanada Keystone 
Gulf Coast Expansion Project (generally referred to as the 
``Keystone XL pipeline''), which the project has been awaiting 
since 2008. It is estimated that, once completed, the Keystone 
XL pipeline would deliver approximately 830,000 barrels of 
Canadian oil per day to refineries in the U.S. Gulf Coast 
region, with significant benefits in terms of job creation, 
domestic revenue, and energy security for the United States.
Section 1152. Activities of the People's Republic of China in Africa.
    Recognizing the rapid expansion of Chinese investments in 
resource-rich and conflict-prone areas in Africa, this section 
calls on the United States-China Economic and Security Review 
Commission, as part of its existing mandate and resources, to 
prepare a report on China's activities in Africa.
Section 1153. Actions to secure freedom of Chen Guangcheng and other 
        human rights defenders in the People's Republic of China.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that the 
Government of the People's Republic of China should cease its 
harassment of blind, legal advocate against forced abortions 
Chen Guangcheng and his family, should arrange for their 
medical treatment, and should end Mr. Chen's house arrest; and 
that the President and Secretary of State should seek 
diplomatic visits to Mr. Chen, should raise the issue of 
harassed, arrested, disappeared, and disbarred human rights 
lawyers with the Government of the People's Republic of China, 
and should aggressively and repeatedly raise the issue of the 
coercive one-child policy.
Section 1154. Chinese drywall.
    Raising concern about the substandard drywall imported into 
the United States from China for home construction between 2001 
and 2009, this section points out scientific studies which have 
documented the threats to public safety and health resulting 
from the use of this drywall, including the corrosion of fire 
and smoke detector equipment and the release of a strong, 
sulfur-like odor, and notes as well the refusal of Chinese 
manufacturers to meet with representatives of the Consumer 
Product Safety Commission; this section further expresses the 
Sense of Congress that the Secretary of States should insist 
that the Government of the People's Republic of China, which 
has ownership interests in these drywall companies, have the 
companies meet with representatives of the United States 
Government to remedy the situation and have the companies which 
manufactured and exported the drywall submit to the 
jurisdiction of United States Federal courts.
Section 1155. Rights of religious minorities in Egypt.
    This section expresses Congressional concern for the 
protection of religious minorities in Egypt, including Coptic 
Christians, and highlights this as an appropriate focus for the 
State Department's Office of International Religious Freedom 
and the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.
Section 1156. Plight of Coptic Christians in Egypt.
    This section contains findings regarding the plight and 
persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, and expresses the 
sense of Congress that the Administration should include the 
protection of those communities as a priority in its diplomatic 
engagement with the Government of Egypt.
Section 1157. State sponsorship of terrorism by Eritrea.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of State should designate Eritrea as a state sponsor 
of terrorism pursuant to section 6(j) of the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, section 40 of the Arms Export 
Control Act, and section 620A of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
1961.
    The Committee believes that Eritrea, a pariah state located 
in the Horn of Africa, should be designated a state sponsor of 
terrorism. In recent years, the Government of Eritrea's support 
for al-Shabaab, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist 
Organization based in nearby Somalia, has been well documented 
by United Nations reports. Given its links to al-Qaeda, and al-
Shabaab's increasing threat to U.S. security interests, the 
Committee believes that every effort should be made to sever 
the group's outside sources of support, including its 
assistance from Eritrea.
    Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie 
Carson has testified to Congress about Eritrea's supply of 
weapons to terrorists inside Somalia. Beginning in May 2008, 
and each subsequent year, the State Department has designated 
Eritrea as a country ``not cooperating fully'' with U.S. 
antiterrorism efforts. In addition to Eritrea, this list 
currently includes Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and 
Venezuela.
    In December 2009, acting largely at the urging of Eritrea's 
African neighbors, the United Nations Security Council passed 
sanctions against Eritrea, demanding that the country ``cease 
arming, training, and equipping'' al-Shabaab. African countries 
continue to press for further action against Eritrea.
    Since Committee consideration of H.R. 2583, additional 
reports have surfaced that heighten the Committee's concern 
about Eritrea's role in the region. According to the U.N. 
Monitoring Group on Somalia and Eritrea, ``In January 2011, the 
Government of Eritrea conceived, planned, organized and 
directed a failed plot to disrupt the African Union summit in 
Addis Ababa by bombing a variety of civilian and governmental 
targets.'' In addition, the Monitoring Group noted ``firm 
evidence of Eritrean support for armed opposition groups 
throughout the region,'' including al-Shabaab. Such backing has 
included political, financial and material support, including 
arms, ammunition and training.
    The United States has significant interests in the Horn of 
Africa, including al-Qaeda linked elements, the failed state of 
Somalia and border tensions. A key instigator in this violence 
has been the Government of Eritrea. The Committee judges the 
case for Eritrea's inclusion on the state sponsors of terrorism 
list to be overwhelming.
Section 1158. Holocaust-era property restitution and compensation by 
        certain European countries.
    This section states that it is the sense of Congress that 
Central and Eastern European countries should return looted and 
confiscated properties from the Holocaust to their rightful 
owners, or where restitution is not possible, pay equitable 
compensation in an expeditious, transparent, and fair manner.
Section 1159. Democracy in Georgia.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that Georgia 
is a strategic partner of the United States, and asserts that 
the U.S. should support the strengthening of democratic 
institutions in that country, including a fair and robust 
electoral system, and independent executive, judicial and 
legislative branches of government. This section also states 
that the U.S. should fully support Georgia's efforts to join 
NATO, and should continue to fully support Georgia's 
territorial integrity and urge the EU and other responsible 
nations to call for Russia to abide by the provisions in the 
August and September 2008 ceasefire agreements which require 
the complete withdrawal of Russian troops from Georgian 
territory.
Section 1160. Urging the immediate return of United States children 
        abducted to Japan.
    Pointing out that more than 300 United States children have 
been wrongfully removed to and retained in Japan since the 
United States began keeping records in 1994 and noting that 
Japan has announced that it is preparing to ratify the 1980 
Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child 
Abduction, this section expresses the Sense of Congress that 
the ratification by Japan of the Hague Convention alone will 
not provide for the resolution of the existing cases, that the 
United States, through a memorandum of understanding with the 
Government of Japan and other appropriate means, should seek 
the immediate return of all United States citizen children 
wrongfully removed to or retained in Japan, and that the 
Secretary of State should take appropriate measures to assure 
that the left behind parents have direct access and 
communications with their children.
Section 1161. Relating to the Quartet and contacts with any Palestinian 
        government.
    This provision states that it is the sense of Congress that 
the Secretary of State should urge the members of the Quartet 
to agree that--in addition to the requirement that all members 
of a future Palestinian government must be committed to 
nonviolence, recognition of Israel, and acceptance of previous 
agreements and obligations, including the Roadmap--that body 
adopt the immediate and unconditional release of Gilad Shalit 
as an additional condition for contact with any Palestinian 
government in which Hamas participates.
Section 1162. Democracy and the rule of law in the Russian Federation.
    This section states the sense of Congress that 1) the 
Russian government should safeguard human rights and ensure 
that the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections meet 
international electoral and other specified standards, and 2) 
the President and the Secretary of State should make respect 
for democracy, the rule of law and human rights a priority in 
U.S.-Russia relations.
Section 1163. Republic of the Sudan and Republic of South Sudan.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that: The 
independence of the Republic of South Sudan represents a 
historic opportunity for peace in the region; all parties 
should resolve outstanding issues related to the Comprehensive 
Peace Agreement for Sudan, implement security arrangements in 
Abyei, and conclude a cessation of hostilities in Southern 
Kordofan; peace, security, rule of law, and good governance 
should be promoted; responsible nations should promote 
transparency and accountability in South Sudan's oil sector; 
and Darfur should remain a priority in U.S.-Sudan relations.
Section 1164. Sale of F-16 fighter aircraft to Taiwan.
    This section states the Sense of the Congress that the 
United States, in accordance with its obligations under the 
Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, should continue to make available 
to Taiwan such defense articles and services as may be 
necessary for Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense 
capacity. In particular, the provision states that the 
President should take immediate steps to sell to Taiwan new F-
16C/D aircraft and upgrades to its existing F-16 A/B fleet; and 
diesel submarines offered to Taiwan by the United States in 
2001 once the design phase has been completed and construction 
costs have been appropriately budgeted by the Legislative Yuan.
Section 1165. Official contacts with Government of Turkey.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that official 
State Department contacts with Turkish leaders and officials 
should emphasize the need for: an end of all forms of religious 
discrimination; the unrestricted use of Christian church 
properties by their rightful owners; the return of Christian 
church and religious properties to their rightful owners; and 
the unrestricted ability of rightful owners to preserve, 
reconstruct, and repair Christian churches and religious 
properties.
Section 1166. Restrictions on religious freedom in Vietnam.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of State should return Vietnam to the list of 
``Countries of Particular Concern'' (CPC) for severe violations 
of religious freedom, and that the Government of Vietnam should 
lift restrictions on religious freedom and implement necessary 
reforms to protect religious freedom.
    Under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998, the 
Secretary of State is authorized to designate those countries 
that commit systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of 
religious freedom as CPCs. These countries are subject to a 
list of sanctions determined by the President, ranging from a 
public rebuke to the withdrawal of U.S. development assistance.
    Having been taken off the CPC list in 2006, the Committee 
notes significant human rights and religious freedom abuses in 
Vietnam. Buddhist sects in Vietnam--including the Unified 
Buddhist Church of Vietnam, the Hoa Hao Buddhists, and the Cao 
Dai--have suffered numerous abuses including detention, sexual 
assault by undercover policemen, and beatings. Certain Catholic 
and Protestant sects face similar abuses. Notably, Ksor Tino, a 
Degar Christian, died after being detained and tortured with 
electric prods.
    The Committee also notes that 355 Montagnard Protestants 
remain in prison, arrested after 2001 and 2004 demonstrations 
for land rights and religious freedom in the Central Highlands. 
These abuses have led the United States Commission on 
International Religious Freedom to recommend the redesignation 
of Vietnam as a CPC.
    During Committee consideration, an amendment to strike this 
section of the bill failed by voice vote.
Section 1167. European arms sales to China.
    This provision adds the sense of Congress that the European 
Union should maintain its arms embargo on the People's Republic 
of China in light of continuing concerns over widespread human 
rights abuses, military build-up aimed at Taiwan, and 
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic 
missile related technology to state sponsors of terrorism. This 
section also notes that the lifting of this ban by the EU could 
adversely affect transatlantic defense cooperation; including 
future transfers of U.S. military technology to EU countries as 
such technology could potentially later be transferred to the 
People's Republic of China. A similar provision was carried in 
H.R. 5916, the Security Assistance and Arms Export Control 
Reform Act of 2008, which passed the Committee by voice vote 
during the 110th Congress.

    TITLE XII--LIMITATION ON ASSISTANCE TO THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

Section 1201. Short title.
    States that this title may be cited as the ``Preparing the 
Palestinian People for Peace Act of 2011.''
Section 1202. Sense of Congress.
    This section expresses the sense of Congress that the 
Palestinian Authority has not fully lived up to its prior 
agreements with Israel to end incitement, and that it should do 
more to prepare the Palestinian people for peace with Israel.
Section 1203. Limitation on assistance to the Palestinian Authority.
    This section amends the Foreign Assistance Act to preclude 
assistance to the Palestinian Authority unless there is in 
effect a Presidential certification to Congress that the 
Palestinian Authority (1) is not engaging in a pattern of 
incitement against Israel, and (2) is engaged in peace 
preparation activities to promote peace with the Jewish state 
of Israel. The President can, by written certification to 
Congress, waive this limitation if he deems such waiver 
important to the national security interests of the United 
States, in which case the President must submit to Congress a 
report detailing the justification for the waiver, the purposes 
for which such assistance will be provided, and the reasons why 
the President is unable to make the required certification 
regarding incitement and peace preparation activities. The 
report also should detail the steps the Palestinian Authority 
has taken to arrest terrorists, confiscate weapons, halt 
incitement, dismantle the terrorist infrastructure, and promote 
peace with the Jewish state of Israel.

    Sec. 36. Reports on Commercial and Governmental Military 
Exports; Congressional Action.--(a) * * *
    (b)(1) Subject to paragraph (6), in the case of any letter 
of offer to sell any defense articles or services under this 
Act for [$50,000,000] $100,000,000 or more, any design and 
construction services for [$200,000,000] $300,000,000 or more, 
or any major defense equipment for [$14,000,000] $25,000,000 or 
more, before such letter of offer is issued, the President 
shall submit to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and 
to the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
Senate a numbered certification with respect to such offer to 
sell containing the information specified in clauses (i) 
through (iv) of subsection (a), or (in the case of a sale of 
design and construction services) the information specified in 
clauses (A) through (D) of paragraph (9) of subsection (a), and 
a description, containing the information specified in 
paragraph (8) of subsection (a), of any contribution, gift, 
commission, or fee paid or offered or agreed to be paid in 
order to solicit, promote, or otherwise to secure such letter 
of offer. Such numbered certifications shall also contain an 
item, classified if necessary, identifying the sensitivity of 
technology contained in the defense articles, defense services, 
or design and construction services proposed to be sold, and a 
detailed justification of the reasons necessitating the sale of 
such articles or services in view of the sensitivity of such 
technology. In a case in which such articles or services listed 
on the Missile Technology Control Regime Annex are intended to 
support the design, development, or production of a Category I 
space launch vehicle system (as defined in section 74), such 
report shall include a description of the proposed export and 
rationale for approving such export, including the consistency 
of such export with United States missile nonproliferation 
policy. Each such numbered certification shall contain an item 
indicating whether any offset agreement is proposed to be 
entered into in connection with such letter of offer to sell 
(if known on the date of transmittal of such certification). In 
addition, the President shall, upon the request of such 
committee or the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
Representatives, transmit promptly to both such committees a 
statement setting forth, to the extent specified in such 
request--
            (A) * * *

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

A certification transmitted pursuant to this subsection shall 
be unclassified, except that the information specified in 
clause (ii) and the details of the description specified in 
clause (iii) of subsection (a) may be classified if the public 
disclosure thereof would be clearly detrimental to the security 
of the United States, in which case the information shall be 
accompanied by a description of the damage to the national 
security that could be expected to result from public 
disclosure of the information. [The letter of offer shall not 
be issued, with respect to a proposed sale to the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization, any member country of such 
Organization, Japan, Australia, the Republic of Korea, Israel, 
or New Zealand, if the Congress, within fifteen calendar days 
after receiving such certification, or with respect to a 
proposed sale to any other country or organization, if the 
Congress within thirty calendar days after receiving such 
certification, enacts a joint resolution]   
    (2) The letter of offer shall not be issued--
            (A) with respect to a proposed sale of any defense 
        articles or defense services under this Act for 
        $300,000,000 or more, any design and construction 
        services for $300,000,000 or more, or any major defense 
        equipment for $75,000,000 or more, to the North 
        Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), any member country 
        of NATO, Japan, Australia, the Republic of Korea, 
        Israel, or New Zealand, if Congress, within 15 calendar 
        days after receiving such certification, or
            (B) with respect to a proposed sale of any defense 
        articles or services under this Act for $100,000,000 or 
        more, any design and construction services for 
        $200,000,000 or more, or any major defense equipment 
        for $100,000,000 or more, to any other country or 
        organization, if Congress, within 30 calendar days 
        after receiving such certification,
enacts a joint resolution prohibiting the proposed sale, unless 
the President states in his certification that an emergency 
exists which requires such sale in the national security 
interests of the United States. If the President states in his 
certification that an emergency exists which requires the 
proposed sale in the national security interest of the United 
States, thus waiving the congressional review requirements of 
this subsection, he shall set forth in the certification a 
detailed justification for his determination, including a 
description of the emergency circumstances which necessitate 
the immediate issuance of the letter of offer and a discussion 
of the national security interests involved.
    [(2)] (3) Any such joint resolution shall be considered in 
the Senate in accordance with the provisions of section 601(b) 
of the International Security Assistance and Arms Export 
Control Act of 1976, except that for purposes of consideration 
of any joint resolution with respect to the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization, any member country of such Organization, 
Japan, Australia, the Republic of Korea, Israel, or New 
Zealand, it shall be in order in the Senate to move to 
discharge a committee to which such joint resolution was 
referred if such committee has not reported such joint 
resolution at the end of five calendar days after its 
introduction.
    [(3)] (4) For the purpose of expediting the consideration 
and enactment of joint resolutions under this subsection, a 
motion to proceed to the consideration of any such joint 
resolution after it has been reported by the appropriate 
committee shall be treated as highly privileged in the House of 
Representatives.
    [(4)] (5) In addition to the other information required to 
be contained in a certification submitted to the Congress under 
this subsection, each such certification shall cite any 
quarterly report submitted pursuant to section 28 of this Act 
which listed a price and availability estimate, or a request 
for the issuance of a letter of offer, which was a basis for 
the proposed sale which is the subject of such certification.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

    (C) [Subject to paragraph (6), if] If the enhancement or 
upgrade in the sensitivity of technology or the capability of 
major defense equipment, defense articles, defense services, or 
design and construction services described in a numbered 
certification submitted under this subsection costs $14,000,000 
or more in the case of any major defense equipment, $50,000,000 
or more in the case of defense articles or defense services, or 
$200,000,000 or more in the case of design or construction 
services, then the President shall submit to the Speaker of the 
House of Representatives and the chairman of the Committee on 
Foreign Relations of the Senate a new numbered certification 
which relates to such enhancement or upgrade and which shall be 
considered for purposes of this subsection as if it were a 
separate letter of offer to sell defense equipment, articles, 
or services, subject to all of the requirements, restrictions, 
and conditions set forth in this subsection. For purposes of 
this subparagraph, references in this subsection to sales shall 
be deemed to be references to enhancements or upgrades in the 
sensitivity of technology or the capability of major defense 
equipment, articles, or services, as the case may be.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

    [(6) The limitation in paragraph (1) and the requirement in 
paragraph (5)(C) shall apply in the case of a letter of offer 
to sell to a member country of the North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization (NATO) or Australia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, 
Israel, or New Zealand that does not authorize a new sales 
territory that includes any country other than such countries 
only if the letter of offer involves--
            [(A) the sale of major defense equipment under this 
        Act for, or the enhancement or upgrade of major defense 
        equipment at a cost of, $25,000,000 or more, as the 
        case may be; and
            [(B) the sale of defense articles or services for, 
        or the enhancement or upgrade of defense articles or 
        services at a cost of, $100,000,000 or more, as the 
        case may be; or
            [(C) the sale of design and construction services 
        for, or the enhancement or upgrade of design and 
        construction services at a cost of, $300,000,000 or 
        more, as the case may be.]
    (c)(1) [Subject to paragraph (5), in] In the case of an 
application by a person (other than with regard to a sale under 
section 21 or section 22 of this Act) for a license for the 
export of any major defense equipment sold under a contract in 
the amount of [$14,000,000] $25,000,000 or more or of defense 
articles or defense services sold under a contract in the 
amount of [$50,000,000] $100,000,000 or more (or, in the case 
of a defense article that is a firearm controlled under 
category I of the United States Munitions List, $1,000,000 or 
more), before issuing such license the President shall transmit 
to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the 
chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate an 
unclassified numbered certification with respect to such 
application specifying (A) the foreign country or international 
organization to which such export will be made, (B) the dollar 
amount of the items to be exported, and (C) a description of 
the items to be exported. Each such numbered certification 
shall also contain an item indicating whether any offset 
agreement is proposed to be entered into in connection with 
such export and a description of any such offset agreement. In 
addition, the President shall, upon the request of such 
committee or the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
Representatives, transmit promptly to both such committees a 
statement setting forth, to the extent specified in such 
request a description of the capabilities of the items to be 
exported, an estimate of the total number of United States 
personnel expected to be needed in the foreign country 
concerned in connection with the items to be exported and an 
analysis of the arms control impact pertinent to such 
application, prepared in consultation with the Secretary of 
Defense. In a case in which such articles or services listed on 
the Missile Technology Control Regime Annex are intended to 
support the design, development, or production of a Category I 
space launch vehicle system (as defined in section 74), such 
report shall include a description of the proposed export and 
rationale for approving such export, including the consistency 
of such export with United States missile nonproliferation 
policy. A certification transmitted pursuant to this subsection 
shall be unclassified, except that the information specified in 
clause (B) and the details of the description specified in 
clause (C) may be classified if the public disclosure thereof 
would be clearly detrimental to the security of the United 
States, in which case the information shall be accompanied by a 
description of the damage to the national security that could 
be expected to result from public disclosure of the 
information.
    (2) Unless the President states in his certification that 
an emergency exists which requires the proposed export in the 
national security interests of the United States, a license for 
export described in paragraph (1)--
            (A) in the case of a license for an export of any 
        major defense equipment sold under a contract in the 
        amount of $75,000,000 or more or of defense articles or

        $200,000,000 or more, (or, in the case of a defense 
        article that is a firearm controlled under category I

        the amount of $50,000,000 or more or of defense 
        articles or defense services sold under a contract in 
        the amount of $100,000,000 or more, (or, in the case of 
        a defense article that is a firearm controlled under

        30 calendar days after the Congress receives such 
        certification, and shall not be issued then if the

shall apply to any equipment, article, or service for which a 
numbered certification has been transmitted to Congress 
pursuant to paragraph (1) in the same manner and to the same 
extent as that subsection applies to any equipment, article, or 
service for which a numbered certification has been transmitted 
to Congress pursuant to subsection (b)(1). For purposes of such 
application, any reference in [subsection (b)(5)] subsection 
(b)(6) to ``a letter of offer'' or ``an offer'' shall be deemed 
to be a reference to ``a contract''.
    [(5) In the case of an application by a person (other than 
with regard to a sale under section 21 or 22 of this Act) for a 
license for the export to a member country of the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or Australia, Japan, the 
Republic of Korea, Israel, or New Zealand that does not 
authorize a new sales territory that includes any country other

                            Dissenting Views

Introduction
    In these difficult economic times, it is critical that 
every taxpayer dollar is spent wisely. We strongly support 
thorough oversight of our civilian foreign affairs agencies, 
and efforts to make our foreign assistance programs more 
efficient and effective. And we appreciate the Majority's 
desire to pass a Foreign Relations Authorization bill, which is 
one of the most important responsibilities of this Committee.
    Regrettably, the piece of legislation that was introduced 
and then emerged from the markup is fundamentally flawed. In 
many ways, it would severely undermine U.S. national security 
and foreign policy interests around the world. By embracing 
this reckless and irresponsible agenda, the Republican majority 
sends a clear message to America's friends and foes that the 
United States is intent on abdicating our role as the world's 
leading power.
    As our nation's top military leaders have said repeatedly, 
diplomacy and development--along with defense--are the key 
pillars of our national security strategy. In testimony before 
the Senate Budget Committee last year, Secretary of Defense 
Gates noted that ``the work performed by diplomatic and 
development professionals helps build the foundation for more 
stable, democratic and prosperous societies. These are places 
where the potential for conflict can be minimized, if not 
completely avoided, by State and USAID programs--thereby 
lowering the likely need for deployment of U.S. military 
assets.'' By taking a machete to two of the three legs of that 
national security stool--without any regard for or 
understanding of the consequences--the Majority is undermining 
our ability to respond to crises, promote stability, and pursue 
a wide range of U.S. interests. This will inevitably result in 
excessive reliance on the military, and end up costing us much 
more in the long run.
Deeply Flawed Process Undermines Credibility of Legislation
    The Minority first received a draft of the legislation on 
July 6, only one week before the proposed markup date. While 
the Majority ultimately decided to delay the markup by a week, 
two weeks was simply not sufficient to review and vet a bill of 
this complexity, especially when the text underwent numerous 
changes in the days leading up to markup. Most troubling, a 
very controversial title on foreign assistance--including the 
most extreme version of the Global Gag Rule--were added only 
four nights before the markup.
    By contrast, when this committee last marked up a State 
Department Authorization bill two years ago, the Republican 
minority received a draft text two full months before the 
markup, and the bill was introduced two weeks before committee 
consideration. Traditionally, State Department authorization 
and foreign assistance authorization measures have been 
considered separately by this committee.
    As a result of the rushed schedule, which did not provide 
adequate time for either side to carefully consider the added 
foreign assistance title, there was unnecessary confusion over 
funding levels, and a number of important accounts were omitted 
altogether. For instance, the Majority neglected to provide 
funding for International Narcotics Control and Law 
Enforcement, as well as Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism, 
Demining and Related Programs, both of which had to be added at 
markup, through successful amendments offered by Rep. Deutch. 
The text of the bill clearly provides funding for Refugee and 
Migration Assistance as part of Title I, yet the Majority later 
claimed that it had intended for such funding to be included 
under the heading, ``Bilateral Economic Assistance.'' That 
heading, which is never defined and has different meanings in 
the President's budget and in annual appropriations measures, 
is contained in Title IX.
    Most disturbingly, the bill leaves out funding for 
voluntary contributions to the United Nations, an account for 
which the President requested $348.7 million in FY 2012. These 
contributions support the activities of organizations such as 
UNICEF, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian 
Affairs, the U.N. Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture, the 
U.N. Democracy Fund, the U.N. Population Fund, and the U.N. 
Development Fund, each of which advances U.S. foreign policy 
goals and national interests. Given that the Chairman has 
proposed converting all assessed U.N. contributions into 
voluntary ones, we are surprised that no funding is included 
for such voluntary contributions.
    During the markup, the Majority accepted a number of non-
controversial Democratic amendments. However, many other 
Democratic amendments, including those addressing some of the 
key issues in the legislation, were rejected.
    As a result of the deeply flawed process, which left little 
room for negotiation and compromise, what could have been a 
responsible, collaborative effort to provide funding and 
guidance for U.S. international leadership turned into a 
partisan and ideological battle, and in the end no Democrats 
voted for the bill.
Indiscriminate Cuts are Counterproductive and Cede Power to the 
        Executive Branch
    Two provisions of the bill stand out as egregious examples 
of ill-considered, internally-contradictory and self-
destructive requirements. By mandating blanket aid restrictions 
without knowing which countries would be cut off, the types of 
assistance affected, or the competing interests that should be 
weighed, these provisions represent an abdication of 
Congressional oversight responsibilities and threaten our 
national interests.
    The first such provision, section 921, prohibits all forms 
of economic and development assistance to the government of any 
country that does not pass the Millennium Challenge 
Corporation's (MCC) ``control of corruption'' indicator. Since 
the indicator is a median, each year half the countries pass 
and half the countries fail. That means the United States would 
be forced to cut off aid to half of the world's poorest 
countries in any given year. Not only would we be effectively 
be abandoning the poorest and most vulnerable people, but we'd 
be setting up the possibility for the kind of on-again, off-
again assistance programs that are internationally recognized 
as wasteful and ineffective. Moreover, since the indicators 
don't reflect the current circumstances, but instead what was 
happening one or two years ago when the data was collected and 
analyzed, a provision like this would hobble America's ability 
to respond quickly to changing situations and new opportunities 
on the ground--such as the famine in Somalia or the restoration 
of democratic rule in Cote d'Ivoire.
    It's impossible to know which countries would be cut off 
next year by this reckless provision, but in 2011 it would have 
included Afghanistan, Armenia, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, 
Haiti, Honduras, Indonesia, Kenya, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, 
Pakistan, and many others. Many of the Members who supported 
this provision have urged funding for these very same 
countries.
    Republicans would deny responsibility for these extreme 
cuts by pointing to the Presidential waiver that is provided. 
However, not only is a national security waiver a very high bar 
that probably couldn't be met in many circumstances, but it 
cedes to the Executive Branch the decision about whether to 
exercise it. This is a decision that Congress ought to make and 
exactly the type of guidance this bill should provide.
    Moreover, the evaluation of country performance would be 
left effectively to the author of the ``control of corruption'' 
indicator: The World Bank, which was not previously known to us 
as an institution that Republicans are willing to trust without 
verifying. The World Bank describes its own indicator as 
``unavoidably imprecise,'' yet differentiations that may well 
be within the margin of error could decide whether a country 
receives assistance or is completely cut off. It is one thing 
to use this indicator as one among many to determine which 
countries deserve special consideration for assistance through 
the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and quite another to use 
it as the sole criterion for receiving any assistance at all.
    Make no mistake: Humanitarian, economic, diplomatic, and 
national security interests will be put at risk. Under this 
irresponsible provision, 15 different line-item accounts would 
likely be affected: Global health and child survival, 
development assistance, international disaster assistance, 
transition initiatives, emergency crises fund, development 
credit authority, economic support fund, assistance for Europe, 
Eurasia and Central Asia, migration and refugee assistance, 
emergency refugee and migration assistance, the Peace Corps, 
the Millennium Challenge Account, the Inter-American 
Foundation, and the African Development Foundation.
    Republicans also argue that this provision only prohibits 
aid to foreign governments, not to non-governmental 
organizations (NGOs). This argument reflects a startling 
ignorance about how foreign assistance actually works. It is 
very difficult to meet basic human needs or respond to 
humanitarian emergencies without working with a foreign 
government. If the United States trains teachers, the teachers 
are paid by the government. That means assistance to the 
government, even if it is provided through an NGO. In most 
countries, health clinics and doctors are paid by the 
government. So the United States would be prohibited from 
funding AIDS clinics, preventing infant mortality, or providing 
clean water and sanitation in urban slums, even if U.S. 
Government personnel worked through an NGO.
    Furthermore, when the United States does provide cash to 
foreign governments, it is mostly in the form of project 
support to specific ministries, and we put in place strict 
audit, accounting and monitoring controls to ensure that funds 
are used for the intended purposes. The whole idea is to build 
the capacity of developing countries to meet the needs of their 
own people, so that we can eventually stop providing foreign 
aid. And in countries like Afghanistan, building the capacity 
of the government is absolutely essential to bringing our 
troops home. Prohibiting aid to the government will only 
prolong U.S. military involvement, and increase the cost to 
American taxpayers.
    Despite these obvious reasons that section 921 is contrary 
to our national security interests, an amendment offered by 
Rep. Schwartz to strike the section was defeated by a vote of 
13-23.
    The second blanket aid restriction was added through an 
amendment offered by Rep. Duncan, adopted on a party-line vote, 
to prohibit all forms of economic and development assistance to 
the government of any country that does not vote with the 
United States more than 50 percent of the time at the United 
Nations.
    Presumably the purpose of this amendment is to try to 
influence the vast majority of developing countries that often 
don't agree with us. But this reckless provision would harm 
United States interests in numerous respects.
    First, it would have the effect of cutting off assistance 
to countries where our troops are engaged, whose help we 
desperately need in the fight against terrorism, nuclear 
proliferation, and drug trafficking, whose cooperation is 
essential to achieving peace in the Middle East, or who are in 
the midst of conflicts that could spiral out of control and 
affect our national security. These include Afghanistan, 
Armenia, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, 
Haiti, Honduras, Iraq, Jordan, Mexico, Morocco, Pakistan, and 
Tunisia.
    As Rep. Ackerman noted in the debate, by cutting off 
assistance to U.S. allies in the Middle East, this amendment 
would also put Israel's security at risk.
    Second, the voting percentages fail to distinguish between 
key votes and less important matters. If a country votes with 
us on U.S. priority issues, but votes against us on issues on 
which we don't have a strong position or haven't lobbied 
extensively, why should we cut off assistance that serves U.S. 
interests?
    Third, the purpose of the United Nations is to build 
cooperation and bridge differences among nations. We encourage 
other countries to promote freedom of expression while 
tolerating dissent. What kind of message does it send if we 
are, in effect, blackmailing other governments into voting with 
us at the U.N.? What kind of friendships and alliances do we 
buy with the diplomacy of coercion? If we adopted the 
Republicans' approach, how could we build future alliances 
necessary to secure global action on key foreign policy 
priorities, such as the Security Council sanctioning nuclear 
proliferators like Iran or North Korea or saving lives in 
Libya? The United States is better served working within the 
U.N. system rather than undermining it through cuts and strong-
arm tactics.
    Underscoring the Majority's proclivity to ``shoot first, 
and ask questions later,'' the amendment as originally drafted 
would have terminated democracy assistance programs for the 
people of Cuba and Iran. Only after the minority pointed out 
the utter absurdity of this approach did Rep. Duncan make a 
unanimous consent request to alter the amendment.
    For all the same reasons that conditioning aid on the MCC's 
corruption indicator is a terrible idea with harmful 
consequences, conditioning aid on a country's U.N. voting 
record is a bad idea, with all the same serious, negative 
consequences.
Extreme Global Gag Rule Curbs Freedom of Speech and Prevents Poor Women 
        from Accessing Health
    Section 922 imposes the most extreme version of the Global 
Gag Rule, which would prevent the United States from 
cooperating with any foreign group that used its own money to 
perform, counsel, or provide information and referrals for 
abortion. In the name of ``right to life,'' this draconian 
provision would cut off funds that are literally saving 
hundreds of thousands of lives.
    On January 23, 2009, in one of his first acts after taking 
the oath of office, President Obama rescinded what was known as 
the ``Mexico City policy.'' That policy prohibited family 
planning funds from going to foreign NGOs that provided 
abortion referrals, services or counseling with their own, non-
U.S. funds. The policy did not affect funding for HIV/AIDS, 
tuberculosis and malaria or child survival, because many of the 
health clinics that address those urgent health needs also 
provide family planning and reproductive health services. In 
fact, President George W. Bush went so far as to specifically 
exempt HIV/AIDS assistance from the Global Gag Rule restriction 
in an August 2003 Presidential Memorandum.
    In reversing the policy, President Obama asserted that 
``these excessively broad conditions on grants and assistance 
awards are unwarranted. Moreover, they have undermined efforts 
to promote safe and effective voluntary family planning in 
foreign nations.'' One of the key factors in making our aid 
more efficient and more effective is to build the capacity of 
local organizations to meet the needs of their communities, and 
by denying ourselves the ability to work with such 
organizations, we delay the transition to self-sufficiency and 
reduce our own long-term impact.
    In addition to compromising aid effectiveness, the Mexico 
City policy contradicts our principles of freedom of speech and 
freedom of conscience. The reason that the policy was applied 
only to foreign NGOs is that it would be unconstitutional if 
applied to U.S. citizens and organizations. While our 
Constitution may not protect the rights of foreign persons, 
freedom of speech is a fundamental principle that we seek to 
promote in our democracy and human rights programs abroad and 
in our foreign policy more generally. Yet by denying funding to 
an organization on the basis of its beliefs, the Mexico City 
policy demonstrated that we're not willing to stand behind our 
principles. For that reason, the policy also became known as 
the Global Gag Rule.
    Section 922 would not only reinstate the Global Gag Rule, 
but expand it to all foreign assistance funding authorized to 
be appropriated under this bill. This provision is not only 
unnecessary as a means of preventing the expenditure of U.S. 
taxpayer funds for abortion, but if enacted it would harm the 
health of poor women and families around the globe and reduce 
the impact of our foreign assistance programs.
    First, U.S. law has prohibited the use of U.S. Government 
foreign assistance to fund abortion as a method of family 
planning for almost four decades. The Foreign Assistance Act 
and annual foreign assistance appropriations prohibit the use 
of foreign assistance funds ``to pay for the performance of 
abortion as a method of family planning or to motivate or 
coerce any person to practice abortions.'' Additionally, using 
U.S. funds for biomedical research relating to abortion and 
lobbying for or against abortion are prohibited. Thus there are 
already clear and comprehensive laws in place preventing U.S. 
funds from being used for abortion.
    Second, the Global Gag Rule harms women's health. Many of 
the clinics or local health centers that would be subject to 
the Global Gag Rule offer a wide range of family planning 
services and they often serve as the entry point for women to 
access the entire health system. When it was last in effect, 
the Global Gag Rule caused many health clinics to shut down, 
cutting off access for women in those areas not only to family 
planning services, but also to prenatal and maternal health 
care, prevention and response to sexual and gender-based 
violence, and other important health and hygiene services.
    Clinics should not be forced to choose between accepting 
U.S. aid and using their own funds to provide critical and 
often life-saving information and services relating to abortion 
in countries where it is legal. Either way, it is the women 
they serve who lose. Global estimates indicate that by helping 
women space births and avoid unintended pregnancies, family 
planning could prevent 25 percent of maternal and child deaths 
in the developing world. Most maternal deaths are a result of 
severe bleeding, infections, eclampsia, obstructed labor or the 
consequence of unsafe abortions--all which are medically 
preventable. Ironically, the loss of these clinics is likely to 
lead to more, not fewer, unintended pregnancies and abortions.
    Because the provision in this bill is so much broader than 
the original Global Gag Rule--applying to all forms of 
assistance rather than simply to family planning assistance--
its impact would be even more devastating for the poor women 
and families who could lose access to HIV/AIDS treatment, 
malaria bed-nets, clean water and sanitation, skilled birth 
attendants, and other basic life-sustaining services.
    Finally, by reinstating and expanding the Global Gag Rule, 
the Majority asserts that ideology rather than effectiveness 
should be the most important factor in determining which NGOs 
the U.S. Government should partner with to meet the ever-
growing demand for voluntary, effective family planning and 
other essential health services. If section 922 were to go into 
effect, health clinics that provide a wide variety of safe, 
legal and life-saving services would be ineligible for 
assistance, and even organizations that showed great success in 
reducing the overall number of abortions by expanding access to 
contraceptives could be prohibited from receiving further 
support.
    Ranking Member Berman offered an amendment that would 
strike section 922 from the bill, which was defeated by a vote 
of 17 to 25.
Micromanaging Restrictions Reverse Efforts to Improve Aid Effectiveness
    The Republican bill also takes aim at measures specifically 
designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of foreign 
assistance. After completing an 18-month-long review of 
international operations, known as the Quadrennial Diplomacy 
and Development Review (QDDR), the Secretary of State and USAID 
Administrator concluded that it made no sense to divorce 
decisions about budgets and resources from decisions about 
programs and results. They called for the establishment of a 
new Office of Budget and Resource Management at USAID, charged 
with developing USAID's annual budget proposal. The QDDR report 
explains: ``Effective development depends on the strategic 
deployment of resources that advance particular programs and 
align with overall policy goals. USAID must have sufficient 
control of its budget to systematically deploy its resources 
where they will have the greatest impact.''
    To alleviate any concerns that this office would be 
duplicative, the QDDR directs that the Deputy Secretary of 
State will consolidate and review the USAID and State budget 
components, and the Director of Foreign Assistance Resources, 
who is located at State, will analyze and integrate all foreign 
assistance budget proposals.
    Section 942 specifically prohibits and repeals the new 
USAID budget office. This is little more than a political stab 
at the Administration. There is no foreign policy objective to 
be advanced by this, and there would be no budgetary savings.
    Indeed, USAID's budget office costs no extra money. The 16 
total staff positions now assigned to that office were 
reallocated from other bureaus and offices at USAID. If 
anything, the new office will result in significant budget 
savings, as USAID is finally allowed to start matching 
resources with results and ensuring that funding decisions are 
informed by program performance.
    Similarly, a Republican-sponsored amendment prohibits 
continuation of one of USAID's signature efforts to spur 
innovative public-private partnerships. Section 923 bars 
spending for the Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) 
program--an initiative to identify new mechanisms and processes 
that will produce development outcomes more effectively, 
cheaply, and quickly. Not only will this program help harness 
new technology to make game-changing breakthroughs and find 
cost-effective solutions to major development challenges, but 
it will also help U.S. companies and create U.S. jobs. While 
not restricted to American applicants, DIV's first round of 
grants went to U.S. firms and organizations located in Davis, 
CA; San Diego, CA; New Haven, CT; Charlestown, MA; and 
Baltimore, MD. In addition, current DIV grantees source their 
materials from Buffalo, NY and Cedar City, UT.
    With a small amount of money, all reallocated from existing 
USAID resources, the DIV program seeks to apply the experience 
and creativity of the private sector to problems they would not 
ordinarily have an incentive to address. USAID ensures that the 
program does not duplicate research and development activities 
in other agencies by requiring all applicants to specify 
whether they are receiving other U.S. Government funds, and by 
including experts from other U.S. Government agencies on the 
grant review panels. Rather than encouraging this kind of 
proactive approach, the Republican provision would simply end 
up returning the funds to lower-priority activities.
    In addition to turning back the clock on USAID's ambitious 
reform agenda, the Majority voted down attempts to correct 
flaws in current programs. An amendment offered by Rep. Payne 
would have encouraged USAID to implement the recommendations of 
a GAO and a USAID-funded Tufts University study to improve the 
quality and cost effectiveness of U.S. food aid programs. In 
light of the current crisis in the Horn of Africa, and the over 
$600 million (nearly 70% of which is emergency food aid) that 
the U.S. has provided thus far to respond to the crisis, the 
Majority's rejection of common-sense recommendations for 
improving the quality, efficiency, cost effectiveness of U.S. 
food aid programs seems out of step. One of the key 
recommendations was for USAID to develop mechanisms and 
partnerships to facilitate more U.S. private sector development 
and innovation in food aid products, packaging, and delivery.
U.N. Cuts Undermine America's Leadership Role in the World
    On a party-line vote, the Committee adopted a Republican 
amendment that would slash 25% of the U.S. assessed dues to the 
United Nations. While the flaws and shortcomings of the U.N. 
are numerous and sometimes flagrant, we strongly oppose these 
unilateral cuts, which constitute a blatant violation of our 
treaty obligations, and completely disregard the important work 
of the U.N. that supports U.S. national security and foreign 
policy interests.
    This misguided amendment would create massive U.S. 
arrearages at the U.N. The last time Congress mandated the 
withholding of a significant percentage of our dues it resulted 
in the U.S. losing its seat on the Advisory Committee on 
Administrative and Budgetary Questions, one of the most 
influential U.N. budget-writing panels. It took many years 
before Congress was able to find the resources to pay off the 
arrears, and when it finally did so, U.S. standing in the 
international community was severely damaged. Rather than 
forcing the U.N. to its knees, the withholdings complicated 
U.S. efforts to achieve meaningful reforms. We would face the 
same situation if this bill were enacted into law.
    The Majority rejected an amendment offered by Rep. Carnahan 
that would have allowed the Secretary to waive the 25% cut if 
she determined that it would have a negative impact on police 
training, demining, or counternarcotics programs in Iraq or 
Afghanistan. Ironically, the U.N. special political missions in 
Iraq and Afghanistan--which have complemented our bilateral 
assistance programs in those countries--were funded through the 
U.N. general budget at the behest of the Bush Administration. 
In fact, the creation of these two missions accounted for a 
significant percentage of the increase in the U.N. regular 
budget during the past decade.
Withdrawal from the OAS Isolates the United States in Our Own 
        Hemisphere and Strengthens the Hand of Hugo Chavez
    On a party-line vote, the Committee adopted an amendment to 
cut all U.S. funding for the Organization of American States 
(OAS), an organization that brings together all 34 
democratically-elected governments in the Western Hemisphere, 
and excludes Cuba. Given that the OAS is the only regional 
organization that has repeatedly condemned Hugo Chavez's 
disregard for democracy, human rights and the rule of law, we 
are surprised that the Majority would seek to de-fund it. Such 
a step would only do the bidding of the Venezuelan dictator, 
who likened the organization to ``a corpse that must be 
buried.''
    Our deep concerns about this irresponsible amendment are 
shared by the brave leaders of Venezuela's democratic 
opposition, who recently sent a letter to the Chairman 
expressing their alarm at the ``grave consequences'' of the 
measure.
Cap on U.N. Peacekeeping Increases Costs and Risks to the U.S.
    U.N. peacekeeping missions make a vital contribution to 
U.S. national security interests by helping to maintain peace 
in volatile regions of the world. They prevent conflicts from 
escalating into violence and they protect civilians from the 
ravages of war. They are also much more cost-effective than 
deploying U.S. armed forces. According to the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO), sending U.S. troops to stabilize 
Haiti would have cost eight times more than deploying a 
comparable U.N. peacekeeping force. And rather than 
contributing troops to U.N. missions, the United States 
provides financial support that keeps American personnel out of 
harm's way.
    The Majority routinely criticizes the rising cost of 
peacekeeping missions, yet usually fails to mention that the 
greatest proliferation of U.N. peacekeeping missions in history 
occurred during the George W. Bush Administration, and that the 
United States--as a permanent member of the Security Council--
must approve all new peacekeeping operations.
    Regrettably, the Majority remains determined to prevent the 
U.S. from paying its full assessed dues for peacekeeping 
missions, and insists on unilaterally capping our payments, 
even for operations that are created at U.S. urging and with 
U.S. approval. This would not only put the U.S. into arrears 
with the U.N., but would threaten the viability of important 
peacekeeping operations, including those in Sudan and South 
Sudan, Cote d'Ivoire and Haiti. By underfunding these missions, 
we make it much more difficult to prevent conflicts from 
developing into full-blown crises, and thus increase the 
likelihood of direct U.S. intervention and greater costs to 
U.S. taxpayers.
    Rep. Carnahan offered an amendment to restore the full 
amount of peacekeeping funding requested by the Administration, 
which was rebuffed on a party-line vote. And several other 
Democratic amendments were offered to exempt specific U.N. 
peacekeeping missions from the 25% cap, including those in 
Haiti, Congo, and Sudan. The fact that some Republican Members 
supported exempting particular missions demonstrates that a 
punitive and rigid cap is inconsistent with U.S. foreign policy 
interests.
Ban on Climate Change Funding Denies Scientific Evidence and Threatens 
        Health and Safety
    Despite overwhelming scientific evidence that global 
warming is occurring and that human activity is a leading 
contributor to rising temperatures, the Committee adopted a 
Republican amendment, on a party-line vote, that would prohibit 
the United States from providing assistance to developing 
countries to help them deal with the growing impact of climate 
change. Regardless of what measures one believes the United 
States should or should not take to mitigate its own greenhouse 
gas emissions, there is no denying that the changing climate is 
causing mounting challenges for developing countries, whether 
relating to agriculture, infrastructure, health or economic 
growth. Many of these nations already face increases in the 
frequency and severity of flooding, the loss of arable lands, 
and the spread of climate-related diseases, such as malaria and 
cholera.
    To rule out--for ideological reasons--an entire category of 
activities that are essential to the success of our overall 
development strategy is both shortsighted and wasteful. As a 
result of this amendment, the U.S. will not be able to assist 
pastoralist communities in Kenya and across the drought-
affected Horn of Africa region with better management of their 
water, land, and other natural resources to adapt to climate 
conditions that contribute to food insecurity. What good does 
it do to help rebuild in Haiti if we are unable to help them 
prepare for the next hurricane? How can we assist city planners 
in southern Bangladesh if we are banned from gathering and 
analyzing data about rising sea levels? The prohibition on 
funding for the Global Climate Change Initiative will not save 
money--it will only ensure that our development efforts are 
less effective. Such an approach will cost lives and undermine 
U.S. national security by limiting our ability to mitigate the 
displacement, suffering, and instability that is likely to be 
caused by climate change.
    The oddly misnamed section 925, entitled ``Support for 
Activities of the Global Climate Change Initiative,'' will not 
only reduce the impact of our development efforts abroad, it 
will also harm us here at home. Our efforts to improve energy 
efficiency and reduce harmful emissions abroad help protect the 
health and safety of all Americans, while at the same time 
generating economic benefits by encouraging innovation in clean 
energy technologies that could lessen demand for fossil fuels 
abroad and translate into lower energy prices in the United 
States.
    In short, the Majority's misguided approach would waste 
money, reduce aid effectiveness, ignore sources of conflict and 
instability, exacerbate risks to our own health, squander job 
and export opportunities, and fail to address rising fuel 
prices.
Rejection of Conflict Prevention Will Increase Long-Term Costs
    Because many of the greatest threats to United States 
national security have emerged from failed states, it is in the 
national security interest of the United States to support 
peacebuilding efforts to stabilize and secure fragile states. 
Moreover, preventing disputes and localized conflicts from 
escalating to wide-scale violence and bloodshed is both a key 
diplomatic objective and a moral imperative. Regrettably, the 
Majority rejected a common-sense amendment that would have 
strengthened U.S. Government capacity for crisis prevention and 
response.
    Rep. Keating's amendment would have filled two critical 
gaps: First, the amendment would have required the Secretary of 
State to conduct annual regional conflict assessments. This 
would provide a comprehensive, transnational view of conflict, 
to help identify the areas at high risk of outbreak or 
escalation. Second, it would have established a working group 
in the White House to supervise and coordinate the conflict 
prevention activities of all national security agencies and to 
conduct contingency planning. This would help to ensure that 
high-level attention is paid to emerging situations before they 
turn into full-blown crises.
    The amendment would not have required new bureaucracy or 
staff positions, nor would it have increased spending. Rather, 
it would have ensured that administration officials who are 
already working on these issues are doing so in a coordinated 
fashion, and that fleeting windows of opportunity to prevent 
crises are recognized and seized.
    The old maxim that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound 
of cure applies nowhere better than to conflicts. Deploying 
diplomatic, political and economic resources in a timely and 
effective manner is far less costly than responding to a 
humanitarian crisis or intervening militarily. We find it very 
difficult to understand why Republicans would not support 
efforts to synchronize conflict prevention activities of U.S. 
Government agencies and to identify conflict risks before they 
turn into mass atrocities--especially given that they also 
voted to cut back on funding U.N. peacekeeping missions that 
are required after the atrocities take place.
Conditions on Economic Aid to Pakistan Threaten Stability and 
        Democratic Rule
    In the immediate aftermath of the raid that killed Osama 
Bin Laden, Speaker of the House Boehner was outspoken in his 
support for a closer relationship with Pakistan. He explained, 
``We both benefit from having a strong bilateral relationship. 
This is not a time to back away from Pakistan.'' Yet this bill 
does exactly that. It ``backs away'' the United States from 
Pakistan, to the detriment of American national security 
interests, by cutting off the most important types of 
assistance.
    First, the bill would tie civilian economic assistance to a 
certification regarding Pakistan's security and counter 
terrorism related efforts, and its cooperation in issuing visas 
for American personnel. While we support these policy 
objectives, the issuing of visas is the sovereign 
responsibility of the government of Pakistan and should not be 
tied to the provision of foreign assistance.
    As the bill includes no waiver provision for assistance to 
Pakistan, and it is unlikely that the Secretary can actually 
make the new certification, the bill would essentially 
terminate civilian economic and development assistance to 
Pakistan, the real key to creating long-term stability in that 
country. By making it more difficult for the U.S. to provide 
civilian assistance to Pakistan, the bill would punish the very 
elements of the Pakistani government that the U.S. is trying to 
strengthen, leaving in place those elements that have been 
hostile to democratic rule.
    Second, as described previously, the bill includes two 
blanket aid restrictions--one for countries that do not vote 
with the United States at the U.N. at least 50 percent of the 
time, and a second for nations that fail to meet with MCC's 
``control of corruption'' indicator. Pakistan would not meet 
either of these requirements. So, notwithstanding the fact that 
the Committee's rejected an amendment to explicitly cut 
economic assistance to Pakistan, the bill as reported would cut 
aid to Pakistan in three different ways.
    The United States is right to be critical of Pakistan's 
security cooperation, but at the same time, must do everything 
in its power to strengthen Pakistan's civilian government and 
its democratically elected leaders. Under the previous 
administration, the United States essentially gave Pakistan's 
military government a blank check. The purpose of the Enhanced 
Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2009 was to reverse this 
failed policy by establishing the basis for a long term 
relationship with the Pakistani people, not its military 
rulers. This bill would sever efforts to establish an 
alternative to Pakistan's military leadership, reinforce the 
widely-held view in Pakistan that the U.S. is a fair-weather 
friend, and fundamentally undermine American national security 
objectives in the region.
Overall Package Harms America's Foreign Policy and National Security
    As described above, this bill includes a number of 
provisions that would harm America's foreign policy and 
national security interests and undermine our standing in the 
world. It is clear that proponents of the legislation did not 
make a serious effort to enact necessary reforms or assess the 
utility or impact of their proposed cuts. Their approach was to 
take a broad swipe at our diplomatic and development programs, 
without any regard for the consequences. Given the Majority's 
reckless approach, we have absolutely no hesitation in urging 
our colleagues to reject this misguided and damaging 
legislation.
