INTRODUCTION

The Committee notes that governmentwide efforts to reduce
the Federal deficit require cuts in operations and programs
funded by this act. The Committee has also taken further steps
to reduce wasteful and unnecessary spending.

Reducing Costs

The Federal agencies administering funds appropriated by
this act are directed to regularly review all costs associated
with operations and programs to determine their necessity,
priority, and effectiveness. All programs, except for
humanitarian relief and recovery purposes, should be designed
to be sustained by host country governments or civil society.
Programs that are failing to perform or meet sustainability
guidelines, or that have required excessive overhead or
security costs, should be modified or discontinued.
Funding for representation and entertainment expenses at
the Department of State and other agencies are reduced below
the levels requested by the administration, and section 7020(a)
of this act clarifies the intended uses of such funds. The
Committee directs the Department and agencies to achieve
further savings by reducing the cost of executive meetings,
ceremonies, and conferences, and curtailing commemorative and
promotional items such as t-shirts, hats, mugs, pins, coins,
tote bags, globes, and key chains.
Section 7051(b) directs the Federal agencies funded by this
act to report to their respective Office of Inspector General
the cost of participation in domestic and international
conferences that exceed $20,000.
Cost Savings and Efficiencies.--The GAO's ``2012 Annual
Report on Opportunities to Reduce Duplication, Overlap and
Fragmentation, Achieve Savings, and Enhance Revenue'' (GAO-12-
342SP) identified several Department of State and USAID
programs that could be modified to reduce duplication, improve
coordination, and achieve savings. The Committee directs the
Secretary of State and USAID Administrator to submit a joint
report to the Committee not later than 90 days after enactment
of this act on the status of implementation of the following
GAO recommendations:
Stabilization, Reconstruction, and Humanitarian
Assistance.--The GAO found that overlap between the
Departments of Defense and State and USAID assistance
programs is not limited to Iraq and Afghanistan. For
example, the Department of Defense and USAID have each
provided basic medical care in Yemen, built schools in
Azerbaijan, and rehabilitated water wells in Pakistan.
The GAO recommends that these Departments and USAID
develop a common framework for carrying out their
respective responsibilities, including a shared
database to post information about humanitarian and
development assistance outside of wartime or disaster
environments.
Training To Identify Fraudulent Documents.--The GAO
found that seven different Federal entities within
three Federal agencies provide training to foreign
government officials to detect fraudulent travel
documents and often train the same groups, such as
immigration officers and law enforcement officials. The
Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism does
not know how many agencies provide fraudulent travel
document training to foreign officials, and there is no
mechanism to coordinate this type of training. The GAO
recommends that the Secretary of State develop a
mechanism to improve coordination among agencies that
are conducting this training, which the Committee
endorses.
Overseas Administrative Services.--The GAO found that
greater participation in ICASS increases economies of
scale but that in 2011 about one-third of the agencies
opted to obtain services outside of ICASS. While most
agencies indicated they provide services at a lower
cost than ICASS, they could not provide data or
analysis to confirm this assertion.
The GAO also found that the Department of State has
not continued to implement measures to reduce the
number of U.S. overseas ICASS staff, and since 2007 no
non-Department of State ICASS providers have been
established at individual posts to offer potentially
more efficient ICASS service providers.
Energy Audits and Savings.--The Committee is concerned that
the Department of State, USAID, Peace Corps, and other agencies
funded by this act have not taken sufficient steps to improve
energy efficiency at overseas posts. Technological innovations
and common sense practices could save taxpayer dollars and
reduce waste overseas, just as they can domestically. Section
7034(v) requires such agencies to conduct updated environmental
assessments and water and energy audits of overseas post
operations, including staff housing, to assess consistency with
Federal energy efficiency standards and environmental practices
such as improving water efficiency, reducing waste through
recycling, composting organic materials, and taking full
advantage of efficiency technologies in lighting, heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning, ``right-sizing'' vehicle
fleets, trip pooling, use of bicycles and public transport, and
improving the stewardship of electronic equipment. Any
assessment or audit findings of a shortfall in such practices
shall be corrected by implementation of the recommendations to
meet, at a minimum, the targets for Federal building energy
efficiency and environmental sustainability mandated by the
Energy Independence and Security Act, 2007, and Executive Order
13514. The Committee directs all agencies funded by this act to
submit reports not later than September 30, 2013, detailing the
findings of such assessments and audits, a plan, including
steps taken, to implement such recommendations, and a
comparison of such findings with the targets for Federal
building energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
The Committee directs USAID, Peace Corps, and the other
agencies to consult with the Department of State's Office of
Building Operations about implementing such recommendations for
overseas posts.

Congressional Budget Justifications

The Committee remains concerned with the content and format
of the Department of State's and USAID's CBJ documents, which
should be designed for the Committee to efficiently evaluate
the resource requirements and proposals requested by the
administration while minimizing extraneous material. The
Committee appreciates the significant time and effort devoted
to preparing the CBJs. However, as in past years, the fiscal
year 2013 CBJs contain a large amount of wordy text that sheds
little light on how funds will achieve specific objectives, and
dollar amounts in tables often do not match the text except at
the account level. This has necessitated multiple requests for
additional information, which is inefficient and unnecessarily
delays the Committee's work. In an effort to improve the CBJs'
usefulness, the Committee directs the Secretary of State and
USAID Administrator to consult with the Committee on the
content and format of the fiscal year 2014 CBJs.
The Committee is also concerned that the Department of
State's budget formulation and strategic planning processes are
not coordinated to ensure that strategic priorities are
adequately resourced and the budget request levels proposed for
each office and program reflect and support the Department's
priorities. The Committee notes that the Department is
reorganizing the budget, finance, and strategic planning
offices, and urges the Department to ensure that the
reorganization results in improved integration of the
Department's strategic planning and budget formulation process.
While the Committee understands that performance data is
required by the Government Performance and Results Act for
inclusion in the CBJ, timely budget information that is
clearly, concisely, and accurately presented must be the
priority. The Committee directs the Department of State, USAID,
and other agencies funded by this act to submit CBJs within 4
weeks of the release of the President's fiscal year 2014 budget
request. The Committee also directs the Department of State,
USAID, and other agencies to include detailed information on
all reimbursable agreements and significant uses of the Economy
Act.
Department of State and USAID operating expense accounts
are appropriated with 2-year availability to provide
flexibility for new or complex programs and procurement
sensitive programs. However, the Committee intends the
Department and USAID to request funding for other costs,
including salaries and related expenses, in the fiscal year
that it is to be expended. The Committee also directs the
Department and USAID to include in their spend plans a
justification for any funding that is planned to be executed in
the fiscal year after it is appropriated, and to include
specific detail and justification in the CBJ for funding
requested with 2-year availability.
The Committee directs the Department of State and any other
agency that utilizes a working capital fund to include in the
CBJ the total budgetary resources for the offices that use a
WCF. The CBJ shall also include a table on WCF resources that
will serve as the control level for reprogramming and transfer
purposes.

Definition of Program, Project, and Activity

For purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177), as amended, with
respect to appropriations contained in this act the term
``program, project, and activity'' shall mean any item for
which a dollar amount is specified in this report or this act.
In addition, the definition of PPA in section 7023 shall apply
to the accounts listed in that section.
In carrying out any Presidential sequestration, the
Department of State, USAID, and other agencies funded by this
act shall conform to the definition for PPA described above.

Definition of Regular Notification Procedures

The Committee includes language in this act making certain
actions, such as obligations of funds, ``subject to the regular
notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations.''
This language requires a separate notification to the Committee
15 days prior to the proposed obligation of funds or other
action that is the subject of this special notification
requirement, regardless of what may be contained in an agency's
CBJ or in the operating and spend plans required in section
7076. Thus, such budget justification documents, operating and
spend plans do not suffice as justification for purposes of
satisfying the special notification requirement.

Reprogramming Guidelines

The Committee directs the Department of State and other
agencies funded by this act to notify the Committee of
reprogramming of funds as required by sections 7015 and 7019 at
the most detailed level of either the CBJ or the report
accompanying this act, and the Committee expects to be notified
of any significant departure from the CBJ or of any commitment
that will require significant funding in future years. The
Committee directs that staffing levels and future year impacts
of reprogrammings be included with the notification.
Section 7076 requires operating and spend plans to be
submitted not later than 45 days after enactment of this act.
The Committee expects operating plans to include data for the
prior fiscal year, budget request, congressional action,
rescissions, and the proposed operating plan level, and to
include WCF resources, as appropriate. The Committee directs
the Department of State and other agencies to provide quarterly
updates of salary and benefits costs and on-board staffing
levels (employees and contractors).
The Committee is disappointed by the absence of useful
information in prior fiscal year spend plans. Rather than
plans, these documents would more aptly be described as cursory
recitations of broadly stated goals, as they contain dollar
amounts only at the account level and text that leaves the
reader to wonder how funds will be used to achieve specific
objectives. The Department of State is directed to consult with
the Committee on the format and content of future operating and
spend plans.
The Committee is concerned that reprogrammings of funds
often occurs late in the fiscal year and directs the Department
of State, USAID, and other agencies to submit reprogramming
requests not later than July 31, 2013, absent a compelling
justification.

Reporting Requirement Guidelines

All reports required by the Committee are due 90 days after
enactment of this act except those with a specific date
otherwise indicated. To save paper and printing costs, the
Committee directs that only one copy of reports, congressional
notifications, and correspondence be jointly addressed to the
chairs of the Committee and subcommittee, and one copy jointly
addressed to the ranking members of the Committee and
subcommittee. Reports required by the Committee may also be
electronically transmitted.
The Committee directs that the Department of State, USAID,
BBG, MCC, African Development Foundation, and Inter-American
Foundation no longer send to the Committee the quarterly, semi-
annual, or annual reports from their respective OIG, as these
documents are already received by the Committee directly from
the OIG. Instead, the Committee directs these agencies to
notify the Committee by email or letter that their OIG has sent
such reports.

Improving Humanitarian Aid Effectiveness

The Committee is increasingly concerned with the growing
number and severity of humanitarian crises that cause
widespread loss of life and property damage, and the burden
they are placing on national budgets and international donors.
Triggered by conflict, natural disasters, pandemics, food and
water insecurity, and population displacement, the amount of
official humanitarian aid from the United States and other
donors reportedly exceeded $9,700,000,000 in 2011. The
increasing demand for humanitarian services, escalating costs,
and budget constraints underline the need for improved
efficiency and effectiveness in targeting such aid.
The Committee recognizes that greater accountability to
intended beneficiaries will help ensure better quality and
effectiveness in the way resources are used. Yet there are
significant weaknesses in collecting beneficiary feedback and
acting on it, despite some progress in increasing awareness of
the importance of accountability to beneficiaries.
The Committee includes a new provision, section 7034(p), to
enhance the effectiveness of humanitarian aid through a
continuous and accurate flow of feedback data, obtained
independently. Such feedback will ensure that both aid agencies
and donors have a clearer understanding of the perceptions of
affected populations, whether the aid they receive is relevant
to their needs, how much they trust the people helping them,
and whether they find it worthwhile to provide feedback. When
reported to Congress and published, feedback data of this kind,
which provides the basis to compare and contrast the perceived
performance of aid providers, may offer an incentive to turn
the principle of accountability to beneficiaries into practical
improvements on the ground and cost savings.

Strategic Considerations

The Committee recognizes that the winding down of United
States military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan require
adjustments in economic and security assistance. The Committee
expects future budget requests to be significantly reduced for
these countries, as program implementation is impacted by U.S.
military and civilian personnel reductions, restructuring
activities resulting from smaller in-country footprints, and
the large amounts of unexpended funding that currently exists
for these countries. Further, the Committee notes the rise of
nationalism which directly impacts bilateral relations and, in
the case of Iraq and Pakistan, results in the suspension of
programs.
The Committee supports the administration's strategic pivot
toward Asia and recommends funding above the budget request to
implement programs that further United States interests in that
region. The Committee is aware of the PRC's interests in
extending influence throughout Asia, including in the South
China Sea which is a potential flashpoint for confrontation
between the PRC and its Asian neighbors.
Additional funds are similarly recommended for programs
that further United States interests in Africa and Central and
South America. The Committee again recognizes the geostrategic
interests of the PRC in these regions, particularly in natural
resource-rich countries.
The fiscal year 2013 budget request did not include funding
under the Assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia
heading, but the Committee recognizes that the countries in
this region remain important economic and security partners for
the United States. The Committee includes assistance for
countries formerly funded under this heading under the GHP,
ESF, and INCLE headings, at levels comparable to fiscal year
2012.

Countries of Special Concern

The Committee notes that since September 11, 2001, the
United States has spent more than $66,800,000,000 on civilian
assistance programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq to
support counterterrorism/counterinsurgency efforts.
Nonetheless, the threat of terrorism persists and is found in
other countries and regions.
This assistance has achieved significant gains in some
sectors, but progress has too often been limited by vaguely
defined and unrealistic goals, exorbitant security costs,
contractor fraud and mismanagement, large expenditures on
infrastructure that cannot be sustained, and unreliable host
country governments. Many of the programs and activities funded
by the Department of State and USAID were initiated or
encouraged by the Department of Defense within a
counterinsurgency context, and focused on short-term impact
rather than long-term developmental sustainability. The
Committee supports continuing efforts to solidify gains and
maximize Afghanistan's and Iraq's chances of emerging from
years of war more democratic, just, and stable than before, but
has set funding ceilings for operations and programs in these
countries, as noted below.

AFGHANISTAN

Operations.--The Committee recommends $1,642,276,000 for
Department of State, including for Worldwide Security
Protection, and $200,800,000 for USAID operations in
Afghanistan, and notes that a total of $142,000,000 in prior
fiscal year funds will carry over for Department of State
operations into fiscal year 2013.
The Committee supports the administration's plan to reduce
government and contract personnel in that country, including
the downsizing of civilian provincial and sub-provincial
presence, and expects Embassy Kabul to continuously conduct
rightsizing exercises to ensure that a minimal, but
appropriate, number of personnel remain in country. While the
Committee sets a funding ceiling for the costs of operations
and personnel in Afghanistan, waiver authority is included to
allow the administration to respond to extraordinary,
unforeseen contingencies that endanger human health or welfare.
The Committee appreciates the necessity to maintain a
diplomatic presence outside of Kabul in secure facilities,
particularly given regional geopolitical considerations, and
endorses collocation with other United States Government
agencies to the maximum extent practicable. The Department of
State should utilize existing facilities in maintaining this
diplomatic presence, especially in Kandahar and Mazar-e-Sharif.
The Committee does not recommend funding for construction of a
new facility in Kandahar, and understands that the Department
has $111,000,000 available in carryover balances for the
renovation and upgrade of an existing facility.
Air Mobility.--The Committee recommends $233,247,000 to
continue air mobility for civilian United States Government
personnel in Afghanistan, and expects rationalization of
Department of State and USAID air operations in a timely
manner. The Committee understands that this funding level
sustains the current capacity of aviation assets, including
aircraft acquired to replace USAID-leased aircraft. Section
7004(e) permits the Department of State to maintain and
continue aviation capacity that is no larger than the capacity
on the date of enactment of this act. The Department of State
should consider the most cost-effective options for the
construction and maintenance of air hubs, which should be
considered temporary facilities. Section 7052(c)(1) provides
authority to the Department of State to collect from private
individuals the cost of travel on Embassy Air in Afghanistan
through the Working Capital Fund.
Assistance.--The Committee recommends $1,580,750,000 for
assistance for Afghanistan, and notes unobligated balances as
of March 31, 2012, totaling $3,684,464,000.
The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for the Afghan
Civilian Assistance Program for continued assistance for
individuals and communities that suffer losses as a result of
military operations. The Committee directs USAID to consult
with the Committee on the use of funds prior to obligation.
The Committee recommends not less than $5,000,000 for the
Department of State's Office of Global Women's Issues for small
capacity-building grants for Afghan women NGOs to enhance the
economic and political participation and leadership of women,
and to support initiatives to protect the rights of Afghan
women and girls.
The Committee continues conditions on assistance for
Afghanistan similar to prior fiscal years to ensure
effectiveness and sustainability of programs, and expects the
GoA to assume the burdens of governance in the near term. The
Committee underscores the impact of official corruption and
mismanagement on the legitimacy of the GoA which, if left
unchecked, will erode the international community's investments
in Afghanistan over the past decade.
The Committee continues support for rule of law programs
and directs the Secretary of State to submit a report on such
programs in Afghanistan, including the amounts and uses of
funds, the extent to which the GoA supports such efforts, an
assessment of the results to date, and benchmarks for measuring
progress.
The Committee recommends that ESF and INCLE assistance for
Afghanistan be utilized to support the GoA in replicating the
Helmand Food Zone program in other Afghan provinces.
The Committee recommends not less than $10,000,000 to
support a democracy and human rights assistance strategy for
Afghanistan, including to implement programs from such
strategy, to be administered by DRL.
The Committee continues to support assistance for the
National Solidarity Program, and directs USAID to prioritize
support for this program with funds appropriated by this act.
Funds are allocated in the following table and subject to
the requirements of section 7019 of this act:

PAKISTAN

Operations.--The Committee recommends $184,457,000 for
Department of State, including for Worldwide Security
Protection, and $42,000,000 for USAID operations in Pakistan,
and notes that a total of $21,000,000 in prior fiscal year
funds will carry over for Department of State operations into
fiscal year 2013.
The Committee acknowledges the detrimental effects of
strained bilateral relations on the implementation of United
States foreign assistance programs in Pakistan, and recommends
that the Department of State and other United States Government
agencies reassess personnel requirements and downsize
accordingly. While the Committee recognizes the importance of
Pakistan to United States strategic interests in South Asia,
maintaining the operational status quo at Embassy Islamabad and
elsewhere absent programmatic activity is fiscally imprudent.
This geostrategic importance is complicated by the apparent
unwillingness and/or inability of the Government of Pakistan to
keep open supply routes to Afghanistan or to mitigate extremist
attacks on coalition forces in Afghanistan emanating from
sanctuaries in Pakistan.
While the Committee sets a budget ceiling for costs
associated with operations and personnel in Pakistan, a
national security waiver is provided to allow the
administration to respond to any extraordinary, unforeseen
contingencies that endanger human health or welfare.
Assistance.--The Committee recommends $800,346,000 for
assistance for Pakistan, and notes unobligated balances as of
March 31, 2012, totaling $892,530,000.
The Committee endorses Embassy Islamabad's assistance
review, and directs the Department of State to provide updates
on its findings. Restrictions on assistance similar to those in
prior fiscal years are continued in this act.
The Committee recommends not less than $10,000,000 for the
Pakistan Civilian Assistance Program for continued assistance
for individuals and communities that suffer losses as a result
of military operations, and directs USAID to consult with the
Committee on the use of funds prior to obligation.
The Committee directs the Department of State and USAID to
obligate and expend program funds for Pakistan at the minimum
rate possible, including for infrastructure projects, until
such time as bilateral relations show consistent improvement.
The Committee expands the use of funds appropriated under
the FMF and PCCF headings for Pakistan to include assistance
for counterpiracy programs, and provides that unobligated funds
appropriated by this act under the PCCF may be reprogrammed for
other purposes should cargo transit routes through Pakistan
remain closed and programmatic activity in Pakistan remain
stalled. The Committee remains concerned with the apparent lack
of progress in credibly investigating and prosecuting Pakistani
military personnel for human rights violations, including
torture and extra-judicial executions, and expects section 620M
of the FAA to be rigorously applied.
The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary for DRL,
after consultation with USAID and NED, to submit a multi-year
strategy to promote democracy and human rights in Pakistan and
recommends $10,000,000 for programs to implement this strategy,
to be administered by DRL.
The Committee recommends continuing funding through DRL and
DCHA for activities that support the development of independent
media including radio in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

IRAQ

Operations.--The Committee recommends $450,000,000 for
Department of State, and $53,000,000 for USAID operations in
Iraq, and notes that a total of $1,654,000,000 in prior fiscal
year funds will carry over for Department of State operations
into fiscal year 2013. The Committee notes that including
carryover balances, Department of State operations in Iraq are
funded at $2,104,000,000 which is adequate to support fiscal
year 2013 operations, assuming the Department's estimated
revised support costs, on-board staffing levels, and shared
aviation costs. Section 7052(c)(1) provides authority to the
Department to collect from private individuals the cost of
travel on Embassy Air in Iraq through the Working Capital Fund.
The Committee supports the Department of State's review of
operations that will decrease the civilian presence in Iraq,
and encourages further rightsizing of diplomatic facilities in
Kirkuk and Basrah. The Committee endorses efforts to utilize
the local economy for goods and services, but recognizes the
limitations of such efforts outside of northern Iraq. While the
Committee sets a budget ceiling for costs associated with
operations and personnel in Iraq, a national security waiver is
provided to allow the administration to respond to any
extraordinary, unforeseen contingencies that endanger human
health or welfare.
The Committee recognizes that further consolidation of
facilities is warranted in Iraq, and section 7004(g) requires
the Secretary of State to submit an updated facilities
construction plan, which should include consideration of
closing the facility at Kirkuk and moving support services to
Erbil; decreasing personnel, contractor, and physical
structures in Basrah to establish a leaner operation; and
centralizing certain administrative and support functions that
require a more permissive security environment (including
purchasing of local goods and warehousing) in Erbil.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a
report not later than 45 days after enactment of this act, and
every 90 days thereafter until September 30, 2014, detailing
the number of United States Government personnel and
contractors in Iraq, disaggregated by Federal agency. The
Committee expects this number to significantly decrease as
facilities are consolidated in Baghdad.
The Committee regrets that land-use agreements are
outstanding for certain facilities in Iraq, and prohibits the
use of funds appropriated by this act for construction or
rehabilitation on properties for which no land-use agreement
exists.
Assistance.--The Committee recommends $582,347,000 for
assistance for Iraq, and notes unobligated balances as of March
31, 2012, totaling $1,977,000,000. The Committee is aware of
increasing Iraqi oil revenues and expects that after receiving
billions of dollars of United States assistance the Government
of Iraq will finance its own development programs.
The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the Marla Ruzicka
Iraqi War Victims Fund for continued assistance for civilian
victims of conflict, and the transition of this program to an
Iraqi-run entity.
The Committee notes the largely unsuccessful implementation
of the police development program in Iraq, with the exception
of activities conducted in northern Iraq. The Committee
recognizes several factors contributing to this deficiency,
including the relative lack of interest by the GoI for such
activities, inadequate planning by the Department of State
(including unnecessary construction at the Baghdad Police
Academy Annex), and programmatic assumptions regarding shared
bilateral interests that proved false. The Committee directs
the Secretary of State to report to the Committee the findings
of the Department's review of the PDP, and to limit the
expenditure of funds only for programs in northern Iraq. In
order to be successful, the Committee expects GoI buy-in for
the program, which should include cost-sharing, and a complete
revision of goals and objectives at substantial savings to U.S.
taxpayers. No funding is provided in this act for the PDP.
The Committee recommendation does not include funding for
USAID's Tarabot and Ajyal programs as the costs of
strengthening public management institutions and training
teachers should be the responsibility of the GoI and supported
by national revenues. Further, the follow-on to USAID's Tijara
business program shall not exceed $10,000,000. The Committee
recommends not less than $30,000,000 for democracy and
governance programs.
The Committee expects the Department of State to update the
report on ethno-religious minorities in Iraq under the ESF
heading in Senate Report 112-85 not later than 90 days after
enactment of this act.
To ensure transparency and accountability of funds, the
Committee continues conditions on assistance for Iraq.
Iraqi National Budget.--GAO's most recent estimate of
Iraq's cumulative budget surplus is $52,100,000,000 as of
December 2009, of which, adjusting for outstanding advances
(including letters of credit, advance payments on domestic
contracts, and other funds that have been committed for future
expenses or paid out), at least $11,800,000,000 was available
for future spending. Under the terms of a February 2010 IMF
arrangement, Iraq agreed to report its outstanding advances by
September 30, 2010, but has not done so. While GAO was able to
determine that in the first 6 months of 2011 Iraq collected
$7,900,000,000 more in oil revenue than it originally budgeted,
current data on outstanding advances is not available. In order
for the Committee to consider these Iraqi revenues when it
reviews the spend plan submitted for assistance for Iraq, the
Committee endorses the GAO's recommendation that the
Departments of State and the Treasury work with the Government
of Iraq to identify these resources by completing the IMF-
required review of outstanding advances.
Security Conditions Report.--The Committee directs the
Secretary of State to submit a report to the Committee
detailing the effect of the security situation in Iraq on the
ability of the Department of State and USAID to effectively and
efficiently deliver assistance. The report shall be broken down
by region and shall include, to the extend relevant: (1) an
assessment of the current security situation; (2) the impact of
the security situation on the planned obligation and
expenditure of funds, and the movement of personnel; (3) an
explanation of the type and nature of any increased security
costs; (4) details on the impact of the delivery of
humanitarian assistance; and (5) a plan to ameliorate the
negative impact of a deteriorating security condition.
Funds are allocated in the following table and subject to

Enduring operations................................. 7,437,468,000
Overseas contingency operations....................\1\ 1,426,000,000

\1\ Overseas contingency operations is funded under title VIII.

The Committee recommends $7,437,468,000 for Diplomatic and
Consular Programs, of which up to $1,428,468,000 is for
Worldwide Security Protection. An additional $1,426,000,000 in
title VIII under this heading is designated for OCO.
The Committee recommendation separates the functions funded
under this heading to provide transparency in the uses of
funds. However, the Department of State may reprogram funds as
necessary, subject to prior consultation with the Committee.
Human Resources.--The Committee recommends $2,448,702,000
for all American salaries at overseas and domestic United
States diplomatic missions, and does not include the requested
extension of authority and funding for phase III of Foreign
Service overseas comparability pay.
Overseas Programs.--The Committee recommends $2,631,039,000
for the operational programs of the Department of State's
regional bureaus, which are responsible for managing U.S.
foreign policy through bilateral and multilateral
relationships. Funds support U.S. embassies, consulates, and
other diplomatic posts worldwide, and provide myriad services
to millions of U.S. citizens living, working, studying, and
serving abroad, including thousands who are arrested and
imprisoned in foreign countries. The Committee recommends
funding for operations, including for public diplomacy
programs, to be used at overseas posts, funded through the
Bureaus of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, African Affairs,
Western Hemisphere Affairs, and South and Central Asian Affairs
(not including Afghanistan and Pakistan) and to support
additional programs at American Spaces worldwide.
Diplomatic Policy and Support.--The Committee recommends
$892,982,000 for the operational programs of the Department of
State's functional bureaus to provide overall policy direction,
coordination, and program management among U.S. missions
abroad. The Committee recommends not less than $6,500,000 for
salary and program costs of the Office for Global Women's
Issues within the Office of the Secretary; not less than
$9,140,000 for program costs for the Bureau of Democracy, Human
Rights, and Labor; and not less than $16,294,000 for program
costs for the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental
and Scientific Affairs.
Security Programs.--The Committee recommends $1,464,745,000
for the operation of security programs, including
$1,210,358,000 for Worldwide Security Protection to protect
diplomatic personnel, overseas diplomatic missions, residences,
and domestic facilities and information. An additional
$218,110,000 is included within the Human Resources function
for salaries for a total of $1,428,468,000 for WSP in this
title. The Committee recommends an additional $651,000,000 for
OCO costs for WSP.

PROGRAM ISSUES

Coordinator of United States Assistance to Europe, Eurasia
and Central Asia.--The Committee affirms, in section 7068, the
authorities of the Coordinator of U.S. Assistance to Europe,
Eurasia and Central Asia, as provided in the SEED and Freedom
Support Acts, and intends that all assistance appropriated
under titles III and IV of this act for the countries of
Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia be subject to procedures
developed by the Coordinator to ensure the strategic allocation
of appropriated funds and effective coordination among U.S.
Government agencies, and between the United States and other
bilateral and international donors.
Cultural Heritage.--The Committee recommends $6,500,000 for
this program, including $1,000,000 for the Cultural Antiquities
Task Force, and for not less than five large-scale projects.
The Committee recognizes the important public diplomacy role of
this program, as well as its contribution in preserving some of
the world's irreplaceable cultural antiquities. The Department
of State should consult with the Committee prior to the
obligation of funds.
Cyber Issues.--The Committee recommends $1,000,000 for
operations and programs under the authority of the Coordinator
for Cyber Issues, in addition to funds otherwise made available
for such purposes. The Coordinator, in consultation with the
heads of other relevant Federal agencies, is encouraged to
consult on a regular basis with other nations and organizations
on cybersecurity issues, including research and development,
infrastructure protection, standards, and best practices in the
field. The Coordinator is directed to consult with the
Committee prior to providing funds to United Nations cyber
programs.
Freely Associated States.--The Committee directs the
Department of State to continue working within the National
Security Council Interagency Policy Committee on Freely
Associated State Affairs to implement its action plan to reduce
the impact of FAS migration on Federal, State, local, and
territorial governments, particularly those in affected
jurisdictions. The Committee also encourages the USAID field
office in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, to provide technical
assistance to the governments of the FAS in support of economic
development and health.
Human Rights Vetting.--The Committee supports the
Department of State's efforts to monitor U.S. military
assistance for foreign security forces, pursuant to section
620M of the FAA. The vetting process has been widely applied to
individuals who are candidates for U.S. training, and the
Committee understands that the Department of State is also
applying the law to those individuals' units and to units that
may receive U.S. equipment, as required. As in past years, the
Committee recommends not less than $3,500,000 for DRL for
personnel, training, and other support to strengthen the
vetting process and to implement the other requirements of
section 620M.
Overseas Presence and Staffing Levels.--The Committee
directs the Secretary of State to provide the Committee, not
later than 45 days after enactment of this act, a consolidated
list of Office of Inspector General recommendations for
potential position reductions and office-size reductions or
closures since October 1, 2011, including cost savings, and the
Department's responses to such recommendations.
Public Diplomacy.--The Committee recommends a total of
$541,566,000 for public diplomacy programs to be funded through
direct appropriations, and an additional $5,000,000 through
Department of State fees.
Representation Expenses.--The Committee does not include a
provision included in the budget request authorizing the
Department of State to transfer up to $1,000,000 from D&CP to
Representation Expenses.
Tibet.--The Committee recommends not less than $750,000 for
the Office of the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues to
carry out the broad responsibilities detailed in section 621(d)
of Public Law 107-228, as well as for convening and
coordinating meetings for appropriate Federal agencies, NGOs,
and representatives of the Tibetan leadership in exile.
Trafficking in Persons.--The Committee recommends a total
of $46,500,000 in this act for TIP programs, of which
$7,500,000 is included under the D&CP heading for the Office to
Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons ($3,202,000 for
programs and $4,198,000 for salaries). The Committee directs
the Secretary of State to post, or otherwise make available,
the human trafficking hotline and Web site information in
Consular Affairs public waiting areas in all U.S. Embassies and
Consulates in a timely manner.
The Committee recognizes the need for transparency
regarding the Department of State's use of waiver authority to
prevent certain countries from being downgraded from the Tier 2
Watch List to Tier 3 in the annual Trafficking in Persons
Report. The Committee directs the Department of State to
include in the 2013 report, and subsequent reports, an
assessment of progress made by each country issued such a
waiver in relation to the country's written plan.
Travel Cards and Purchase Cards.--The Committee directs the
Secretary of State to report on the fiscal year 2012 use of
Government-funded credit cards (including Department of State
travel cards and purchase cards), including the number and
value of purchases that did not comply with regulations,
whether reimbursement was received for these noncompliant
purchases, and the Department's policy for disciplining
employees who abuse the use of Government credit cards.
Victims of Terrorism.--The Committee directs the Secretary
of State to continue to assist American victims of terrorism
abroad regarding frozen assets for compensation and other
issues, including for the bombings of United States facilities
in Kenya and Tanzania and terrorist acts sponsored by former
Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi.
Not later than 45 days after enactment of this act, the
Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary
of State, shall submit a report detailing the amount of assets
owned by the Qaddafi family that remains blocked, the amount of
settlement funds available to pay Libya-related awards, and the
total amount of certified awards.
The Committee notes that $4,000,000 appropriated in Public
Law 110-161 for compensation to the families of members of the
Foreign Service or other U.S. Government employees (or their
dependents) who were killed in terrorist attacks since 1979
remains unexpended, and that the obligation of funds are
subject to specific authorization in subsequent Acts of
Congress. The Committee will consider additional funds for such
purposes once specific authorizing language is enacted into
law.
Visa Processing.--The Committee recognizes the recent
efforts of the Secretary of State to improve visa services and
meet growing visa demand, particularly in PRC and Brazil.
Executive Order 13597 directs the Secretaries of State and
Homeland Security, in coordination with OMB and other relevant
agencies, to develop a plan to increase nonimmigrant visa
processing capacity in the PRC and Brazil by 40 percent, ensure
that 80 percent of nonimmigrant visa applicants are interviewed
within 3 weeks of receipt of application, increase efforts to
expand the Visa Waiver Program, and expand reciprocal
recognition programs for expedited travel. Section 7076 of this
act directs the Secretary of State to continue to take the
necessary steps to achieve these goals and to report to the
Committee on progress made.
The Committee remains concerned with the lack of access to
consular services in certain high-demand countries due to
lengthy travel distances, and encourages the Secretary of State
to evaluate alternative means of addressing this problem,
including remote interviewing and videoconferencing.

The Committee recommends $67,000,000 for Office of
Inspector General, and an additional $55,900,000 in title VIII
under this heading is designated for OCO.
The Committee directs the Inspectors General of the
Department of State and USAID, SIGAR, and SIGIR to coordinate
audit plans and activities to minimize unnecessary duplication,
ensure comprehensive oversight plans, and maximize the
effective use of resources. The Committee directs the OIG to
continue to plan for increased responsibilities when SIGIR
draws down its oversight operations, and to include in the
fiscal year 2014 budget request the personnel authorities
required to conduct adequate oversight of Department of State's
Iraq operations and programs.
The Committee recommends $1,378,000 for the OIG's Middle
East Regional Office, in addition to funds otherwise made
available for such purposes, to support additional auditors to
meet the increased demands as SIGIR draws down.

EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $598,800,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 586,957,000
Committee recommendation................................ 625,000,000

Cultural Exchange Programs.
The Committee recognizes the need to expand international
exchanges and intends that programs funded under this heading
will support U.S. foreign policy objectives.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to use the
additional funds to increase the number of participants and
broaden the representation of groups that have been
traditionally under-represented, such as youth and individuals
from rural and high-poverty areas, including the Benjamin
Gilman International Scholarship, International Visitor
Leadership, and Citizen Exchange youth programs. The Committee
also directs the Secretary to consider the use of virtual
educational exchange programs and other programs that expand
the number, diversity, and experience of participants beyond
traditional study abroad programs.
The Committee recognizes the importance of educational
exchanges for professionals in key fields from Eurasia and
recommends that a portion of the Fulbright awards from this
region are designated as Edmund S. Muskie Fellowships.
The Committee supports the Secretary's efforts to reduce
the administrative and overhead costs of exchange programs and
expects that the savings from such efforts will be used to
increase the number of participants. Funds are allocated
according to the following table and are subject to the
provisions of section 7019 of this act:

Changes to Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs.--The
Committee directs the Secretary of State to consult with the
Committee prior to implementing changes to exchange programs
proposed for fiscal year 2013, including the Mike Mansfield
Fellowship program, regarding compliance with applicable
authorizing language. The Committee expects any proposed
changes to exchange programs that require amending existing
authorization will only occur after consultation with relevant
committees, and amendments to existing law, as appropriate.

submitted a budget amendment regarding fellowship and exchange
programs to be conducted by the NERD program. The Committee
includes additional funds under this heading for such purposes,
and directs to be consulted prior to the initial obligation of

exchanges, including exchanges involving United States and
foreign artists, which advance public diplomacy. The Committee
requests the Secretary of State to report on the national
interest served by the American Music Abroad program.
Summer Work Travel and High School Exchange Programs.--The
Committee is concerned with lax oversight of Summer Work Travel
and high school exchange programs, which has resulted in abuses
of foreign participants and harm to the reputation of these
programs. The Committee recognizes that the Department of State
has taken, and continues to take, steps to strengthen
regulations and oversight of these programs to ensure they are
primarily cultural and educational and do not divert jobs from
Americans. The Committee expects to be informed in a timely
manner of improvements to these programs and any recurring
problems.

Internet Circumvention.--The Committee recommends
$12,000,000 for BBG's Internet circumvention program, and
directs BBG to submit a report, prior to the initial obligation
of funds, detailing planned expenditures for this purpose. The
Committee encourages continued coordination and cooperation
between the Department of State and USAID on the planning and
implementation of these programs. The Committee encourages BBG
to consider digital security and digital safety training for
those who use BBG circumvention tools. The Committee directs
BBG to continue to monitor protections against BBG tools being
used for illicit purposes, and expects BBG to inform the
Committee of any concerns.
Iran.--The Committee directs GAO to submit a report
assessing the audience share of U.S. broadcasting to Iran as
compared to other international broadcasters, and whether U.S.
policies toward Iran are presented clearly and effectively in
such broadcasts, and in a balanced manner.
New Program Initiatives.--The Committee supports BBG's
efforts to identify new program formats but is concerned that
BBG proposes reductions in current programs before testing new
program models for effectiveness, particularly in priority
languages. Therefore, the Committee recommends funding to
sustain BBG broadcasts to the PRC as well as for the VOA
Mandarin television initiative begun in fiscal year 2012. The
Committee recommends $400,000 in addition to funds already
available for VOA and RFA Tibetan Services for special
programming, particularly radio programming, to enhance
coverage of events in Tibet. The Committee directs the BBG to
consult prior to implementation of such special programs. The
Committee also recommends funding to continue current VOA and
RFE/RL programming to Central Asia and for the new VOA and RFE/
RL program to that region. The Committee recommends the budget
request for the expansion of Middle East Broadcasting Network's
television programming to Egypt. If BBG's fiscal year 2014
budget request proposes to reduce current programs to the PRC
or Central Asia in favor of new program models, the Committee
directs BBG to include in the CBJ an assessment of the
effectiveness of the new programs as compared with existing
programs. The Committee does not support the proposed BBG
digital media development initiative.
North Korea.--The Committee recommends not less than
$8,960,000 for international broadcasting to North Korea.
Proposed Reductions.--The Committee does not support the
following reductions and terminations proposed by BBG and
includes adequate funding to sustain current levels: reductions
to staffing, broadcast hours, and original program hours of VOA
and RFA East and Southeast Asia services, including Mandarin
and Tibetan; discontinuation of VOA Cantonese broadcasts;
closing of the BBG Poro medium wave transmitting station; the
consolidation and reorganization of VOA Central News and
English Division; realignment of BBG shortwave and medium wave
transmissions; reductions to staffing and radio broadcasts of
VOA Georgian, VOA Turkish, and VOA Ashna; termination of radio
broadcasts of RFE/RL Tartarstan, Bashkortostan, Avar, Chechen,
and Circassian; and transition to Russian-language broadcasts
to the North Caucasus. The Committee supports the proposed
reduction in TV Marti operating costs, including the
termination of the Aeromarti contract, as long as such action
will not reduce its current broadcast schedule of 166 weekly
hours.
Strategic Priorities.--The Committee is concerned that
BBG's broadcast priorities do not fully align with U.S. foreign
policy priorities. For example, the fiscal year 2013 budget
request reduces broadcasting to Asia at the same time the
Secretary of State has called for expanding engagement with
Asia, particularly East Asia. The Committee directs BBG to
submit, not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, a
report on how BBG's broadcast policy reflects input from the
Department of State and other relevant agencies, and further
directs BBG to include in its CBJ the linkage between broadcast
and foreign policy priorities for any proposed language service
changes.

available for the International Center. These costs were

for the development, security, maintenance, and operations of
U.S.-owned property at the International Center in Washington,

Budget estimate, 2013................................... 104,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 236,000,000

The Committee recommends $236,000,000 for the National
Endowment for Democracy, of which $200,000,000 shall be
allocated in the traditional and customary manner, as in prior
fiscal years, to include the core institutes. The Committee
notes that the increase for the NED is offset by an equivalent
decrease in the overall fiscal year 2013 budget request for
democracy programs.
The Committee recognizes the comparative advantages of the
NED in the promotion of democracy and human rights abroad,
particularly given its status as an NGO, unparalleled
experience in promoting freedom during the cold war, and
continued ability to conduct programs in the most hostile
political environments. In many circumstances, the Committee
recognizes the NED as a more appropriate and effective
mechanism to promote democracy and human rights abroad than
either the Department of State or USAID. The Committee notes
the vision of President Ronald Reagan in the creation of the
NED.
Additional funds above the budget request are recommended
for programs in the following countries:

Development Leadership Initiative.--The Committee continues
to support USAID's DLI program and recommends adequate funding
for additional DLI participants in fiscal year 2013, including
for space expansion and lease costs.
Overseas Representation and Residence Expenses.--The
Committee expects USAID to utilize, to the maximum extent
possible, United States-owned foreign currencies for overseas
representation and official residence expenses.
Procurement Reform.--The Committee supports USAID's effort
to reform its procurement policies and practices and recommends
$25,000,000 for this initiative. The Committee recognizes the
need to protect taxpayer dollars from waste and fraud, and at
the same time curtail practices that are inefficient, more
costly, and unsustainable. USAID's Implementation and
Procurement Reform initiative focuses on building capacity in
local governments and civil society and streamlining the
agency's procurement procedures to reach a wider range of
partners and increase competition. The Committee urges USAID to
continue its reform efforts by reducing reliance on large,
inflexible contracts and working more directly with local
governments and civil society to build capacity and develop
sustainable programs in a transparent and accountable manner.
The USAID Administrator is directed to submit a report to
the Committee, not later than 180 days after enactment of this
act, detailing:
--USAID's strategy for increasing assistance through local
partners;
--the eligibility and oversight requirements of such
assistance;
--how such strategy will advance U.S. interests and
development goals;
--any anticipated reduction in assistance through U.S.
partners; and
--potential cost savings.
Direct Government-to-Government Assistance.--The Committee
clarifies, in section 7031(a), the application of the
notification requirement required for direct government-to-
government assistance. The threshold for notification, the
purpose of which is to explain how the proposed activity
complies with pre-obligation assessment requirements, is to be
calculated based on the anticipated cumulative value of the
program. Once notified before the initial obligation is made,
the Committee does not expect to be notified again in future
funding years of the program unless future year obligations
result in a cumulative value in excess of $50,000,000 and the
program was not notified prior to the initial obligation of
funds.
Partnerships and Unsolicited Proposals.--The Committee
supports efforts by USAID and the Department of State to build
partnerships with United States academic institutions and
others in the private sector to design and implement assistance
programs and leverage additional resources. However, it is
difficult for such entities to navigate multiple Web sites to
locate useful information about new partnership opportunities,
and meetings about unsolicited project ideas with Department
and USAID officials are often frustrating and unproductive. The
Committee directs USAID and the Department of State to clearly
indicate on their Web site home pages, and on their home pages
for each country, detailed information on partnership
opportunities, by sector, and procedures for submitting
unsolicited proposals.
Recruitment of Veterans.--The Committee directs the USAID
Administrator to report to the Committee the number of veterans
currently employed by USAID to include direct hires and
personal service contractors. The report should include hiring
trend data and steps USAID is taking to recruit and hire
veterans. The Committee recognizes that GAO is conducting a
governmentwide investigation on veteran hiring practices.
Recruitment Strategy.--Not later than 45 days after
enactment of this act, the USAID Administrator shall report to
the Committee on the extent to which USAID implemented the
recruitment strategy referenced in section 7059(l) of division
H of Public Law 111-8.
Training.--Since fiscal year 2008, 820 new foreign service
officers were hired by USAID through the Development Leadership
Initiative to improve its technical and managerial capacity,
during which time many middle and senior level staff retired.
The Committee recognizes and supports the training role former
USAID employees can provide, and encourages the USAID
Administrator to utilize such training for direct-hire staff.

MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH

The Committee recommends $678,968,000 for maternal and
child health activities under this heading. The Committee
supports USAID's Child Survival Call to Action program, which
seeks to collaborate with other donors and partners to end
preventable child deaths, including over 7 million children
under the age of 5 annually.
Midwifery.--The Committee supports continued funding for
USAID's efforts to promote the training of local healthcare
providers as midwives to assist women in avoiding and
addressing pregnancy complications and reducing maternal and
child mortality.
Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus.--The Committee recognizes
the importance of low-cost vaccines for women of childbearing
age in preventing tetanus in newborn children, encourages
public-private partnerships to deliver such vaccines, and urges
USAID to support efforts to eliminate maternal and neonatal
tetanus.
Pediatric Screening.--USAID should consider support for
mobile outreach programs to expand and improve access to
pediatric eye screening for children in the West Bank, East
Jerusalem, and Gaza in a manner that delivers the maximum
amount of funds to the field.
Polio.--The Committee recommends not less than $40,000,000
for polio eradication efforts, including $35,500,000 under this

Vaccines and Immunization.--The Committee recommends
$145,000,000 for the GAVI Alliance.
Vulnerable Children.--The Committee recommends $23,000,000
for programs and activities to address the needs of vulnerable
children, of which not less than $3,500,000 is for assistance
for blind children. USAID should administer programs in a
manner that delivers the maximum amount of funds to the field,
and also consider support for cleft lip and cleft palate
surgery.
The Committee directs USAID's Displaced Children and
Orphans Fund to provide up to $4,500,000 to continue
implementing model programs for technical assistance for
governments to assess the needs and number of children living
outside of family care and progress made in placing them in
safe and stable families. The head of the DCOF is directed to
consult with the Committee prior to the obligation of funds.

NUTRITION

The Committee recommends $122,000,000 for nutrition
programs under this heading, to be made available through
USAID. The Committee recognizes that long-term effects of
malnutrition can include poorer health, learning and
productivity limitations, and stunted brain development, among
other problems. The Committee encourages USAID to give
particular attention to the nutritional needs of pregnant women
and children, particularly from birth to age 2.
Micronutrients.--The Committee recommends not less than
$33,500,000 for micronutrients, of which not less than
$23,000,000 is to address vitamin A deficiencies. The Committee
recommends that nutrition programs, including micronutrients,
also be included within the funds appropriated to the
Department of State and USAID for programs to combat HIV/AIDS.
The Committee recommends not less than $2,500,000 for the
USAID/UNICEF IDD program to prevent mental retardation in
children.

FAMILY PLANNING/REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

The Committee recommends a total of $700,000,000 from all
accounts in this act for family planning and reproductive
health programs, including $600,000,000 under this heading,
$55,500,000 under the ESF heading, and $44,500,000 for UNFPA.

HIV/AIDS

The Committee recommends a total of $5,900,000,000 for
programs and activities to combat HIV/AIDS, of which
$5,550,000,000 is for the Department of State and $350,000,000
is for USAID.
Global Fund.--The Committee recommends not less than
$1,650,000,000 for a U.S. contribution to the Global Fund to
Fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.
The Committee supports efforts by the Global Fund to
implement reforms contained in its Consolidated Transformation
Plan, including recommendations by the High-Level Panel for
Fiduciary Oversight to reform fiduciary controls and the
overall business model of the Global Fund. OGAC is directed to
consult with the Committee on implementation of such reforms,
and on progress in implementing the strategic grant-making
model in the 5-year strategy adopted at the 25th Board Meeting
of the Global Fund.
Media Programs.--The Committee notes that independent media
can play an effective role in combating HIV/AIDS through
accurate and unbiased coverage of the causes and appropriate
public responses.
Microbicides.--The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for
research on, and development of, microbicides to prevent HIV.
Mother-to-Child Transmission.--The Committee encourages
OGAC to expand prevention of mother-to-child transmission
programs in support of the goal of eliminating new pediatric
HIV infections by 2015. The Committee supports efforts to reach
women in rural settings, to improve the ability of programs to
provide more effective drug regimens, and to encourage stronger
linkages between mother-to-child and care and treatment
programs.
Operations Research.--The Committee recommends that OGAC
continue to invest in implementation research, including
operations research and impact evaluation.
PEPFAR.--The Committee recognizes that PEPFAR plays a key
role in HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment globally and
does not support the reduction in the budget request for PEPFAR
at this time.
The Committee supports efforts to improve efficiencies, and
recommends funds for a new ``challenge grants'' program to
leverage additional funding for the Global Fund from host
country governments, multilateral organizations, and/or other
donor governments. OGAC is directed to consult with the
Committee on the parameters of the program prior to the initial
obligation of funds. After implementation of the program, the
Committee requires the Secretary of State to assess the ability
of such challenge grants to leverage increased support for, and
funding of, Global Fund activities from donors other than the
U.S. Government.
The Committee requires the Secretary of State to report on
transition plans for countries receiving PEPFAR funding,
including South Africa.
UNAIDS.--The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for a U.S.
contribution to UNAIDS.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Malaria.--The Committee recommends $670,000,000 for
programs to combat malaria, and encourages USAID to support
research, development, access, and delivery of anti-malarial
medicines, including new, effective pediatric formulations and
alternatives to artemisinin combination therapies in response
to the threat of resistance, and to continue efforts to develop
a malaria vaccine.
The Committee supports the work of institutions of higher
learning in addressing the health, economic, and security
impacts of malaria and other parasitic diseases, and in seeking
improvements in Federal Drug Administration-approved drugs for
malaria prevention.
Neglected Tropical Diseases.--The Committee recommends
$125,000,000 for USAID's NTD program to eliminate intestinal
parasites, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis,
onchocerciasis, trachoma, and leprosy which afflict hundreds of
millions of people in tropical countries.
Tuberculosis.--The Committee recommends $285,000,000 for
programs to combat tuberculosis. The Committee recommends
additional funding for MDR-TB detection, treatment, and
prevention, including for assistance for countries in Europe,
Eurasia, and Central Asia.

DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $2,519,950,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 2,525,500,000
Committee recommendation................................ 3,050,000,000

The Committee recommends $3,050,000,000 for Development
Assistance.

PROGRAMS

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY

The Committee recommends $1,200,000,000 for FtF from all
accounts in this act. The Committee recognizes that the
economies of many developing countries have strong agricultural
foundations and supports USAID's efforts to expand programs,
particularly in Africa and in coordination with other donors,
to address the root causes of hunger, malnutrition, and poverty
through FtF.
The Committee includes section 7059(a)(2)(E) to strengthen
and expand the integration of women as key recipients of
agricultural and technical assistance, and intends that
programs are prioritized for women farmers, small-holder
farmers, and other vulnerable populations.
Collaborative Research Support Programs.--The Committee
recommends not less than $32,000,000 for CRSPs, and supports
efforts to improve agricultural productivity, nutritional
quality and security, and innovative research in efforts to
prevent malnutrition.
Global Crop Diversity Trust.--The Committee recommends a
U.S. contribution to the Global Crop Diversity Trust's
endowment, which seeks to ensure the viability of agriculture
worldwide by conserving and making available collections of
crop diversity.
Land Grant Institutions.--The Committee supports the work
of land grant institutions of higher learning and encourages
USAID to continue to partner with such institutions with
specialized capability in agriculture research to assist
developing countries to improve food production.
Nutrition.--The Committee recommends that USAID re-evaluate
the FtF indicators to include micronutrient deficiencies, to
ensure that appropriate emphasis is given to the nutritional
quality of food, as well as to agricultural productivity and
marketing.
Sustainable Intensification.--The Committee recommends that
USAID consider support for sustainable intensification
strategies that boost agricultural productivity and increase
water use efficiency on small farms and the availability of
water for household use, including through conservation
tillage.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Cooperative Development Program.--The Committee has long
recognized the important role that U.S. cooperatives and credit
unions play in overseas programs as a means to lift people out
of poverty by mobilizing equity and savings for community-based
economic growth. The Committee recommends not less than
$10,000,000 for USAID's Cooperative Development Program within
the Office of Private and Voluntary Cooperation.
Microenterprise and Microfinance Development Programs.--The
Committee recommends $265,000,000 in this act for microfinance
and microenterprise development programs. The Committee notes
that USAID has not met the requirement of section 251(c) of the
FAA to target 50 percent of all microfinance and
microenterprise funds to the very poor. USAID is directed to
consult further with the Committee and other interested
stakeholders on ways to maximize the use of microenterprise and
microfinance assistance to benefit the poorest, most vulnerable
people.

EDUCATION

Basic Education.--The Committee recommends up to
$800,000,000 in this act for basic education programs,
including programs aimed at improving early childhood
development, primary and secondary education, teacher training,
and basic skills training for adults and out-of-school youth.
Basic education is a key component of human development and the
Committee directs USAID to consult with stakeholders,
particularly local NGOs, during implementation of the new
education strategy to sustain progress in basic education
programs.
Higher Education.--The Committee recommends $215,000,000 in
this act for higher education programs, including $25,000,000
for such programs in Africa of which $15,000,000 is for
partnerships between higher education institutions in Africa
and the United States. Partnerships should be selected through
an open, competitive process, and focus on fields that are key
to development such as agriculture, environment and natural
resources, engineering, science and technology, health,
education and teacher training, public administration, and
business.
American Schools and Hospitals Abroad Program.--The
Committee recommends $23,000,000 for the ASHA program, and
intends that USAID will allocate funds under similar terms and
conditions as in prior fiscal years. ASHA proposals shall be
considered in full and open competition and in accordance with
all applicable rules and regulations.

ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY

The Committee recommends not less than $1,155,000,000 in
this act for bilateral and multilateral environment and energy
programs. Funds for bilateral programs are allocated according
to the following table and are subject to the provisions of
section 7019 of this act:

ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY PROGRAMS
[Budget authority in thousands of dollars]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Committee
Program recommendation
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adaptation.............................................. 190,000
Clean energy............................................ 165,000
Sustainable landscapes.................................. 113,000
Biodiversity............................................ 200,000
Andean Amazon....................................... 20,000
Brazilian Amazon.................................... 10,000
CARPE............................................... 25,000
USAID........................................... 14,000
USFWS........................................... 11,000
Mayan Biosphere Reserve--DOI.................... 1,000
Other U.S. International Conservation Programs.......... 10,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Funds for environment and energy programs should be used to
help developing countries reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
develop renewable energy and increase end-use energy
efficiency; adapt to rising temperatures; address water and
food scarcity, and rising sea levels; protect tropical forests,
endangered species, and other biodiversity; and implement
policies for the transparent and sustainable use of natural
resources.
Adaptation.--The Committee recommends $190,000,000 for
programs to assist developing countries adapt to climate change
hazards, including decreases in agricultural productivity,
water scarcity, and rising sea levels.
Sustainable Landscapes/Biodiversity.--The Committee
recommends $113,000,000 in this act for programs to protect
sustainable landscapes, and an additional $200,000,000 for
biodiversity conservation programs, including $2,000,000 to
implement and enforce the Lacey Act (section 8204 of Public Law
110-246), $20,000,000 for the Initiative for Conservation in
the Andean Amazon, and $10,000,000 for the Brazilian Amazon,
with a priority on strengthening the capacity of indigenous
organizations to protect tropical forests and biodiversity. The
Committee also recommends $1,500,000 for continued USFS
monitoring of forest degradation in Brazil, to be matched with
contributions from the Government of Brazil.
The Committee recommends not less than $25,000,000 for the
Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment, including
not less than $11,500,000 apportioned directly to the USFWS.
The Committee emphasizes that CARPE's success depends on
building the capacity of the Central African governments to
professionally manage and protect their countries' resources.
Memoranda of understanding and cooperative agreements should be
used to provide a roadmap, with benchmarks for measuring
progress, to carry out environmental impact assessments, social
and environmental management plans, fisheries management, and
training of an effective force for wildlife conservation and
park management. Buy-in by governments, in coordination with
other implementing partners, is necessary for the comprehensive
and sustainable program that CARPE needs to become.
The Committee recommends $1,000,000 apportioned directly to
the Department of the Interior for biodiversity and
archaeological conservation activities in Guatemala's Mayan
Biosphere Reserve, to include governance and law enforcement.
The Committee recommends not less than $10,000,000 for
other U.S. international conservation programs administered by
the USFWS, the USFS, the National Park Service, and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Committee
recommends funding to protect great apes in Indonesia and
Central Africa, and wildlife in South Sudan and Niger.
The Committee is concerned with the continuing loss of
tropical forests that are habitat for many endangered species,
particularly in the Amazon Basin, Central America, Central
Africa, and Indonesia. Much of this is due to illegal logging
in which government officials are often complicit, and to
industrial scale logging that is unsustainable and opens up
these areas to further development and environmental
degradation. The Committee does not support the use of funds to
support or promote industrial scale logging in areas of
tropical forest where such logging has not occurred previously.
Clean Energy.--The Committee intends that funds for clean-
energy programs under title III of this act shall be used only
to promote the sustainable use of renewable energy technologies
and energy efficiency technologies, and to support other
efforts to reduce, mitigate, and/or sequester emissions of
greenhouse gases.
The Committee is aware that exposure to smoke from
traditional cookstoves by an estimated 3 billion people in
developing countries causes nearly 2 million premature deaths,
primarily of women and young children, annually, and
contributes to deforestation, erosion, and drought, and the
women and children who collect firewood face daily hardship and
security risks. This global health, environmental, and personal
safety issue should be a priority for USAID, and the Committee
urges investments in cookstoves that sustainably reduce fuel
consumption and exposure to harmful smoke, including in Haiti.
Extractive Industries.--The Committee directs the Secretary
of the Treasury to submit a report not later than 180 days
after the enactment of this act, describing, for each
international financial institution, the amount and type of
assistance provided, by country, for the extraction and export
of oil, gas, coal, timber, or other natural resources in the
preceding 12 months, and whether each institution considered,
in its proposal for such assistance, the extent to which the
country has functioning systems described in section
7060(c)(6)(B)(i) of this act.
Mekong River Basin.--The Committee is aware that the PRC
intends to build additional dams along the Upper Mekong River
that may have serious, adverse impacts on the people, economy,
and environment in countries along the Lower Mekong River.
Other countries plan to build as many as 11 dams on the Lower
Mekong and dozens more on the river's tributaries. As the
Mekong River Commission intends to conduct a study on the
cumulative implications of these hydropower projects, the
Committee recommends a U.S. contribution to the Commission for
this purpose.
Oceans.--The Committee is aware that emissions from fossil
fuels and deforestation is changing the acidity of the ocean in
ways that threaten fish and other ocean species on which many
humans depend for survival. The Committee expects the
Departments of State and the Treasury to coordinate with NOAA
on the uses of funds for environment programs.
Report.--The Committee directs the administration to update
the report required by section 425 of division E of Public Law
112-74 for funds appropriated by this act in fiscal year 2013.

GENDER PROGRAMS

The Committee recognizes that the world's most pressing
economic and political problems cannot be solved without the
equal participation of women, and deplores the repression of
women and girls, often enshrined in law, in many developing
countries including some that are allies of the United States.
Women and girls are not only denied equal educational and
economic opportunities, they are woefully underrepresented in
leadership positions in government. And they continue to be
subjected to humiliating, physically debilitating, and
discriminatory practices based on cultural or religious
practices that are centuries old.
The Committee intends the Department of State, guided by
the Office of Global Women's Issues, and USAID, guided by the
Office of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment, to
mainstream a focus throughout United States diplomatic and
development efforts on raising the status, increasing
participation, and protecting the rights of women and girls
worldwide.
The Committee recommends not less than $1,650,000,000 in
this act for gender programs. Of this amount, not less than
$50,000,000 is for programs to promote women's political
leadership, not less than $150,000,000 is for programs to
support a multiyear strategy to respond to gender-based
violence, and not less than $50,000,000 is to support a
multiyear strategy to implement the United States National
Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security.
The Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues and
USAID's Senior Coordinator for Gender Equality and Women's
Empowerment are directed to jointly report to the Committee on
steps taken to implement gender integration and promote women's
economic and political empowerment, including through USAID's
Gender Equality and Female Empowerment Policy.

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Child Marriage.--The Committee directs the Secretary of
State, in consultation with the Ambassador-at-Large for Global
Women's Issues and USAID's Senior Coordinator for Gender
Equality and Women's Empowerment to support diplomatic efforts
and assistance programs to prevent child marriage in countries
where there is high prevalence.
Development Innovation Ventures.--The Committee recommends
the budget request for DIV.
Disability Programs.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000
for disability programs, of which $3,000,000 should be made
available for programs and activities administered by USAID
through foreign missions to address the needs and protect and
promote the rights of people with disabilities in developing
countries.
The Committee recommends $1,000,000 to support public
dissemination of digital information to individuals with
disabilities and disabled people's organizations in developing
countries, through accessible technologies not dependent on the
Internet, to promote inclusion and integration in education,
employment, housing, transportation, and the political process.
The Committee recommends $1,000,000 to develop, support,
and strengthen sports programs for people with disabilities in
developing countries.
The Committee is concerned with reports that USAID
assistance for Georgia resulted in the improper segregation of
children and adults with disabilities during a period in which
the Government of Georgia adopted a policy of
deinstitutionalization for children. The Committee directs
USAID to rigorously implement its Disability Policy, which
calls for community integration and full participation in
society of people with disabilities, and ensure that USAID
staff is properly trained. The Committee further directs USAID
to work with Georgian officials, service providers, and
disabled people's organizations to develop and implement a plan
for the community integration of children and adults with
disabilities who are in institutional settings.
The Committee supports continued funding for the Global
Disability Rights Library to:
--increase distribution of the GDRL in developing countries;
--provide access to digital content and assistive technology
for individuals with visual disabilities; and
--provide technical assistance and support to individuals
with disabilities.
The Committee recommends that USAID continue current
practice that at least 25 percent of USAID foreign mission
funds for these purposes be disbursed in small grants.
The Committee also supports USAID's accessibility
requirements for construction projects.
Faith-Based Organizations.--The Committee notes the
important role that faith-based organizations play in the
delivery of foreign assistance and expects USAID to comply with
Federal laws protecting the rights of FBOs related to competing
for and administering projects funded with United States
foreign assistance.
Indigenous Peoples.--The Committee recognizes that
indigenous peoples face increasing threats to their territory
and cultures due to growing population pressures, the expansion
of mechanized agriculture, and extractive industries. These and
other development activities, which often occur without
adequate consultation with indigenous people, can impact their
cultures in profoundly negative ways. The Committee urges the
appointment at USAID of an Advisor for Indigenous Peoples
Issues to ensure that U.S. policies and programs give proper
attention to the interests and rights of indigenous people in
developing countries.
Judicial Reform.--The Committee supports the use of funds
under this heading and the ESF and INCLE headings for judicial
reform as an important component of rule of law programs,
particularly in developing and post-conflict countries where
governments and civil society demonstrate a commitment to
reform, including transparency and accountability.
Partner Vetting.--The Committee supports a partner vetting
system that safeguards against the inadvertent disbursement of
funds by the Department of State or USAID to a terrorist or
terrorist organization, while preserving important and, in some
regions, sensitive relationships with grantees and contractors
that play an indispensible role in implementing U.S. assistance
programs.
The Committee understands that the Department of State and
USAID will finalize the design of a pilot PVS by September 30,
2012, and requests to be consulted following its completion.
All individuals and organizations being vetted should be
provided with full disclosure of how information will be stored
and used by the U.S. Government, including how information
regarding a ``positive match'' will be handled and how to
appeal such a match. There should also be provision for waiving
the vetting requirements when vetting would substantially delay
response to humanitarian crises. The Committee expects that
other Federal agencies conducting foreign assistance programs,
including for security sector reform, will employ vetting
procedures similar to those devised by USAID and the Department
of State.
Patrick Leahy War Victims Fund.--The Committee recommends
$13,000,000 for the LWVF, administered by USAID, which assists
persons who are severely disabled as a result of armed
conflict.
Victims of Torture.--The Committee recommends not less than
$11,500,000 for programs and activities that address the needs
of victims of torture and trauma resulting from violent
conflict. The Committee recommends support for centers for
victims of torture that provide services consistent with the
goals of Public Law 106-87. An additional $7,000,000 is
recommended for the U.N. Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture
under the IO&P account.
Water and Sanitation.--The Committee is aware that water
shortages, already severe in many regions, are projected to
worsen significantly in coming decades due to rising
populations, climate change, and poor resource management. The
Committee recommends not less than $400,000,000 in this act for
water and sanitation projects pursuant to Public Law 109-121.
The Committee intends these funds to be used for programs to
provide safe drinking water and sanitation for urban and rural
communities where water scarcity or contamination pose serious
risks to human health, with an emphasis on drought prone
regions of Africa. These funds are in addition to other funds
in this act to protect and sustainably manage water resources.
The Committee recognizes USAID's efforts to help achieve
the MDG to halve the number of people without sustainable
access to safe drinking water ahead of the target date. The
Committee is concerned, however, that the MDG for improving
access to sanitation services is unlikely to be met, and USAID
is directed to increase funding for this purpose.
Wheelchairs.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for
wheelchair programs in developing countries, which should be
allocated through an open and competitive process based on
merit. The Committee supports funding that provides quality,
low-cost wheelchairs that can be produced and maintained
locally using appropriate technologies.

COUNTRIES

Ecuador.--The Committee is concerned with the extensive oil
contamination of land and water in Northeastern Ecuador which
poses grave health risks for the local population. The
Committee recommends $500,000 for rainwater collection or other
access to safe water for local residents, and to assist in
providing local diagnosis and treatment for chronic illnesses
resulting from such contamination.
Indonesia.--The Committee recommends not less than
$115,000,000 for assistance for Indonesia, of which not less
than $400,000 is for grants for capacity building of Indonesian
human rights organizations, including in Papua. The Committee
is concerned with religious intolerance and attacks against
religious minorities in Indonesia, and urges the Government of
Indonesia to investigate these crimes and punish those
responsible.
Morocco.--The Committee notes that funds made available
under title III of this act for Morocco may be used in regions
and territories administered by Morocco.
Nepal.--The Committee recommends not less than $15,000,000
for assistance for Nepal, including for training and other
assistance to enhance the participation and leadership of
Dalits and other minority groups in political and economic
decisionmaking.
Philippines.--The Committee recommends not less than
$89,000,000 for assistance for the Philippines.
Rwanda and Uganda.--The Committee recommends support for
local and international NGOs to conduct oversight of the
conflict minerals trade flowing out of Eastern DRC and to
strengthen border controls with the DRC.
The Committee is concerned with the lack of transparency
and potential for corruption in the petroleum sector in Uganda,
and directs the Department of State and USAID to encourage the
Government of Uganda to commit to transparency in the
management of oil revenues and bidding process, including
public disclosure of documents, in accordance with section
7031(b) of this act.
Senegal.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State to
submit a report, not later than 45 days after enactment of this
act, on steps taken by the Government of Senegal to assist in
bringing Hissene Habre to justice.

Crisis Response.--The Committee directs the Secretary of
the Treasury, in coordination with the Secretary of State and
the USAID Administrator, after consultation with the Committee,
to submit a report detailing current OFAC guidelines and
policies regarding humanitarian access to areas controlled by
sanctioned entities, including current timelines for granting
licenses; OFAC mechanisms for responding to crisis early
warning; parameters of the OFAC license for Somalia in 2011;
and recommendations for how such guidelines and policies can be
modified to streamline the process and enable humanitarian
organizations to respond in a timely and effective manner when
crises occur.
Somalia.--The Committee is concerned with the slow response
to the 2011 famine in Somalia, the ongoing extreme
vulnerability of the Somali population, and credible reports of
corruption and human rights violations by the Somalia
Transitional Federal Government. Assistance for the STFG should
be subject to financial transparency controls and respect for
human rights, and the Department of State and USAID should
closely monitor the Famine Early Warning System and other
credible reports in order to respond in a timely manner to
future crises.
The Committee directs the USAID Administrator to submit a
report describing humanitarian and other assistance for Somali
civilians in areas under de facto control of the al-Shabaab
terrorist organization, to include current and future
operational plans to deliver assistance, and detailing any
policy or regulatory restrictions that limit USAID's ability to
deliver such assistance to needy civilians.

that may be transferred from other programs in this title to
the Development Credit Program and recommends $8,200,000 for
administrative expenses.
The Committee continues to support programs that leverage
private financing for development activities, particularly
through DCA. The Committee supports the recent deployment of
experienced Field Investment Officers to regional USAID
missions, to enable USAID to provide expertise on capital
markets in field offices.

under this heading is designated for OCO.

AFRICA

Africa Pilot Programs.--The Committee supports the
empowerment of U.S. Ambassadors as Chief Executive Officers of
multi-agency missions abroad as outlined in the QDDR, and
endorses the proposed activities by the Department of State to
better inform agency personnel of their accountability to the
Chief of Mission; improve Chief of Mission participation in
interagency decisionmaking in Washington, DC; and enhance
training and evaluation for Chiefs of Mission and Deputy Chiefs
of Mission.
However, the Committee recognizes that while nominally
CEOs, ambassadors often exert little influence over how
interagency funds are apportioned or reprogrammed. While they
may be aware of potential challenges facing U.S. foreign policy
long before Washington, ambassadors may be unable to quickly
and effectively respond to such challenges through targeted
assistance without significant bureaucratic maneuvering and/or
approvals by various agencies and bureaus. In addition, in
missions lacking one or more Commercial Service Officers
assigned by the Department of Commerce, the responsibility for
providing commercial services to U.S. private sector interests
creates an increased burden for Foreign Service Officers and
other Embassy personnel.
In order to empower U.S. Ambassadors in Africa with the
ability to directly address regional health, development,
economic, and security challenges--as well as create increased
trade and investment opportunities for the United States--in a
timely and governmentwide manner, the Committee establishes, in
section 7089, pilot programs under Chief of Mission authority
totaling $25,000,000. A cost-matching requirement is included
to leverage support from host governments, multilateral
organizations, and the private sector, to the maximum extent
practicable. The Secretary of State is required to consult with
the Committee on additional parameters for such pilot programs
prior to the obligation of funds.
Democratic Republic of the Congo.--The Committee recommends
not less than $25,000,000 to support a comprehensive strategy
to demilitarize the mining sector in eastern Congo, enhance
independent monitoring of the mining trade including a regional
certification scheme for the Great Lakes region of Africa,
protect the rights of mine laborers, build local oversight and
regulatory capacity, assist victims of sexual violence, and
establish an Independent Mineral Supply Chain Auditor (within
the Executive Secretariat of the International Conference on
the Great Lakes Region) to combat the illicit trade in
minerals.
South Sudan.--The Committee supports not less than the
budget request for South Sudan, including to increase budget
transparency and accountability. The Committee is concerned
with reports that NGOs and faith-based organizations are
encountering difficulty in obtaining work permits from the
Government of South Sudan for international staff who are
needed to help implement and monitor United States assistance
programs.

EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

Assistance.--The Committee regrets that the budget request
did not include additional funding for the East Asia and
Pacific region above the fiscal year 2012 enacted level given
the administration's stated strategic pivot toward that region.
In addition to funding levels for specific countries
recommended under this heading, the Committee directs
additional resources be made available above the budget request
to meet strategic requirements in the region, including in
Cambodia and Laos. Additional funds should also be provided
under the NADR and FMF headings.
Burma.--The Committee recommends up to $45,000,000 for
assistance for Burma. The Committee recognizes changes underway
in the country, but remains concerned with potential
backsliding on the reforms achieved to date. The Committee
underscores the imperative for a political solution to Burma's
myriad problems including the full participation of opposition
political parties, particularly the National League for
Democracy, and ethnic minorities.
The Committee recommends that assistance for Burma,
including along the Thai-Burma border, include programs for
independent media activities. The Committee recommends
assistance for Burmese groups located in Malaysia.
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Treasury to take
appropriate steps to ensure that any multilateral programs
proposed for Burma take into consideration:
--the economic, environmental and social impacts of such
programs on indigenous populations;
--the commitment of the Government of Burma to contribute to,
and sustain, such programs, as appropriate;
--the transparency and accountability of implementing
organizations, including the establishment and
implementation of safeguards against corruption and
environmental degradation for programs related to the
extraction of natural resources; and
--the extent to which implementing organizations consult with
affected communities.
The Secretary shall consult with the Committee on any
proposed project lending for Burma. The Committee is concerned
with the absence of transparency and accountability within the
Government of Burma and its state-owned enterprises,
particularly Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise.
The Committee notes that section 570 of Public Law 104-208
and section 5 of Public Law 108-61 require certain actions
regarding Burma by the Secretary of the Treasury at
international financial institutions. The Committee expects the
Secretary to continue to implement such requirements until such
time as the law is amended.
Cambodia.--The Committee remains concerned with allegations
of corruption and political interference within the Khmer Rouge
Tribunal, and conditions a U.S. contribution to the KRT on a
certification by the Secretary of State.
The Committee remains concerned with the human rights
situation in Cambodia, including the recent murder of activist
Chut Wutty and continued repression of political activists. The
Committee expects Embassy Phnom Penh to defend the rights of
Cambodians to freedom of expression and association.
Counterinfluence Programs.--The Committee recognizes the
rapid expansion of PRC influence in the Africa, Asia, and South
America regions, and the use of assistance by that country to
influence decisions and actions of governments. The Committee
notes that the PRC reportedly lent more money to the developing
world than the World Bank in 2009 and 2010, and in 2007 the
PRC's foreign economic aid totaled an estimated
$25,000,000,000, which furthers PRC objectives to secure
natural resources globally.
The Committee includes a new provision, section 7044(f)(4),
to counter the influence of such assistance, which is often
targeted to weak central governments. Prior to the obligation
of funds, the Committee directs the Secretary of State to
submit a strategy, in classified form if necessary, for the
implementation of such programs, to include a description of
assistance provided by the PRC to a central government, the
objective of United States assistance, and benchmarks for
measuring progress.
People's Republic of China.--The Committee recommends
$15,000,000 under this heading for United States institutions
of higher education and NGOs for democracy, governance, rule of
law, and environment programs in the PRC. These programs
support training for Chinese activists, lawyers, and other
individuals on key issues including criminal justice reform,
occupational health and safety, corruption, and pollution
abatement. Funds should be awarded on a competitive basis.
Republic of Korea.--The Committee is aware that the
Department of State is currently consulting with the Government
of Korea to allow the importation of United States-made M1
Garand rifles into the United States from the Republic of
Korea. These firearms were used in World War II and Korea and
played an important role in America's military history. These
firearms have historical value as collector's items and should
be transferred back to the United States under existing laws
that permit their re-importation. The Committee encourages the
Department to move forward in finalizing an arrangement to
facilitate the retransfer of these firearms.
Tibet.--The Committee recommends not less than $8,000,000
for activities implemented by NGOs to preserve cultural
traditions and promote sustainable development and
environmental conservation in Tibetan communities in the
Tibetan Autonomous Region, and in other Tibetan communities in
China. Funds should be awarded competitively.
Timor-Leste.--The Committee recommends not less than
$1,000,000 for higher education scholarships in Timor-Leste.
Vietnam.--The Committee recommends not less than
$20,000,000 for site analysis and environmental remediation of
dioxin contamination at the Bien Hoa and Phu Cat hot spots, and
not less than $5,000,000 under the GHP heading for disability
surveys, monitoring, and related health activities in areas
that were heavily sprayed with Agent Orange or are otherwise
contaminated with dioxin, for a total of $25,000,000 in this
act for these activities. In order to minimize administrative
costs and maximize impact in the field, the Committee intends
that, to the maximum extent practicable, health/disability
funds shall be implemented by Vietnamese organizations and
entities.

EUROPE AND EURASIA

Belarus.--The Committee recommends not less than
$15,000,000 for assistance for Belarus, including for democracy
and human rights programs in coordination with the European
Union, and for youth and higher education programs that support
critical thinking and academic freedom.
Cyprus.--The Committee continues support for scholarships,
bicommunal projects, and measures aimed at reunification,
reducing tension and promoting peace and cooperation in Cyprus.
Consultation with the Government of Cyprus should occur
whenever practicable in the interest of transparency in the
allocation of funds. The Committee intends that implementing
organizations and the specific nature of the assistance shall
not be subject to the prior approval of any foreign government.
Ireland.--The Committee recommends the budget request for
Ireland.
Nagorno-Karabakh.--The Committee recommends assistance for
victims of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in amounts consistent
with prior years, and for ongoing needs related to the
conflict. The Committee urges a peaceful resolution of the
conflict.
North Caucasus.--The Committee recommends $7,000,000 for
USAID programs to address immediate and long-term needs of
conflict-affected populations in the North Caucasus.
Roma.--The Committee remains concerned with reports of
discrimination and violence against Roma in some European
countries, and recommends assistance for organizations working
to protect Roma.
Russia.--The Committee recommends $500,000 for the USFS's
endangered species conservation programs in Russia.
Turkmenistan.--The Committee remains concerned with the
politically motivated detention of human rights activists,
former government officials, and religious believers in
Turkmenistan, and the lack of information from the Government
of Turkmenistan about these cases. The Committee recognizes the
cooperation between Turkmenistan and the United States on
regional security issues.
Ukraine.--The Committee recommends $100,000 for USFS forest
management programs in Ukraine.

NEAR EAST

Egypt.--The Committee recommends $250,000,000 for
assistance for Egypt.
The Committee is concerned with discrimination and violence
against women in Egypt, and supports funding for women NGOs and
initiatives to protect the rights of women and girls.
The Committee remains concerned with violence against
Egypt's religious minorities, including Coptic Christians.
The Committee restricts assistance to the Government of
Egypt unless the Secretary of State certifies that such
government is meeting its obligations under the 1979 Egypt-
Israel Peace Treaty. This requirement also includes a national
interest waiver.
The Committee reduces assistance for Egypt under this
heading by an amount equal to the amount posted as bail in
February 2012 for members of United States NGOs operating in
Egypt.
Jordan.--The Committee recommends $410,000,000 for
assistance for Jordan, which is $50,000,000 above the budget
request. The Committee intends the additional funds to be used
to support social services in communities that have experienced
a significant influx of Syrian refugees.
Lebanon.--The Committee recommends $500,000 for continued
support for the USFS's forest and biodiversity conservation
programs in Lebanon.
The Committee recommends $12,000,000 for scholarships for
students in Lebanon with high financial need to attend not-for-
profit educational institutions in Lebanon that meet standards
comparable to those required for American accreditation. The
institutions, students and their families are encouraged to
meet as much of the cost of the education as possible in order
to share the commitment to the future of Lebanon, to maximize
the number of students who are assisted, and to minimize the
cost per student to the American taxpayer. All students should
be eligible for scholarships based on need, academic record,
and potential to contribute to the long-term political,
economic, and social development of Lebanon.
The Committee also urges the Department of State to focus
assistance for Lebanon on efforts that promote transparency,
strengthen financial management, and improve efficiency of
government institutions.
Libya.--The Committee recommends funds be made available
under this and the MENAIF headings for democracy and rule of
law programs in Libya, to be provided on a cost-matching basis,
as appropriate. The Committee continues restrictions on
assistance for infrastructure projects in Libya.
The Committee expects the Transitional National Council or
any successor government to support and assist the continuing
investigation into the bombing of Pan Am 103 and any other
terrorist attacks attributable to the government of Muammar
Qaddafi against U.S. citizens, including by providing access to
documents, witnesses and other information.
Near East Regional Democracy.--The Committee recommends not
less than $30,000,000 for NERD programs.
Tunisia.--The Committee recommends not less than
$10,000,000 for assistance for Tunisia, and includes language
authorizing additional loan guarantees for Tunisia, the costs
of which may be covered under the MENAIF heading.
West Bank.--The Committee recommends the budget request for
assistance for the West Bank.
The Committee continues to support a GAO audit of all
assistance provided under this heading for the bilateral West
Bank program, including cash transfer assistance. Such audit
shall include the extent to which such assistance complies with
the requirements of subsections 7039 (b) and (c) of this act,
and an examination of all programs, projects, and activities,
including obligations and expenditures.
The Committee recommends that the Department of State and
USAID review programs in the West Bank, Gaza, and elsewhere in
the Middle East and other regions, to ensure that no assistance
is provided to any entity that promotes incitement of violence
against the United States, Israel and Jews, or other ethnic and
religious minorities.
Yemen.--The Committee recommends not less than $38,000,000
for assistance for Yemen, and recognizes that the security
situation in Yemen has transitioned to an insurgency. In order
to maximize the effectiveness of United States assistance, the
Committee urges the administration to consider assistance and
security programs within this changed context.

SOUTH AND CENTRAL ASIA

Central Asian Republics.--The Committee reiterates the
United States' ongoing security interest in South and Central
Asia, as articulated by the United States-Afghanistan Strategic
Partnership Agreement.
The Committee is concerned with the lack of English
language proficiency in the Central Asian republics, recognizes
that this impedes United States economic and security interests
in the region, and directs the Secretary of State to provide to
the Committee, not later than 180 days after enactment of this
act, recommendations for expanding English language training in
these countries.

WESTERN HEMISPHERE

Assistance.--The Committee notes the daunting challenges
facing many countries in Central and South America due to
struggling economies and weak governmental institutions. In
addition to funding levels for specific countries recommended
under this heading, the Committee directs additional resources
be made available above the budget request to strengthen
democratic institutions, including professional and accountable
police forces, and to address the causes of poverty in the
region. Additional funds should also be provided under the DA
and INCLE headings.
CARSI.--The Committee recommends not less than the budget
request for CARSI.
Colombia.--The Committee recommends not less than
$175,000,000 apportioned directly to USAID for alternative
development/institution building and local governance programs
in Colombia, including $7,500,000 for human rights activities.
The Committee recommends not less than $15,000,000 for
Afro-Colombian and indigenous communities for projects
developed in close consultation with such communities. The
Committee is concerned with the rapid expansion of government
sanctioned, as well as illegal, mining operations in or
adjacent to these communities, and the resulting harmful
social, environmental, and health impacts. In addition, these
already marginalized communities have experienced increases in
violence, including assassinations of social activists, as well
as poverty and displacement. The Committee directs the
Department of State and USAID to work with the Government of
Colombia to address these issues as a priority.
The Committee recommends not less than $3,000,000 for
continued support for biodiversity conservation programs, and
$500,000 for community-based programs to address the needs of
children disabled by landmines and other causes related to the
violence.
Haiti.--The Committee recommends not less than the budget
request for Haiti, and directs that assistance be made
available, to the maximum extent practicable, in a manner that
emphasizes the participation of Haitian NGOs and directly
improves the security, economic and social well-being, and
political status of Haitian women and girls. The Committee
expects the Government of Haiti, USAID, and other donors to
communicate directly and regularly with Haitian community
leaders and civil society organizations about United States
programs and plans.
In order to obtain greater clarity and transparency
regarding assistance for Haiti, not later than 180 days after
enactment of this act, the Committee directs the Secretary of
State to submit a report on United States-funded recovery and
development efforts in Haiti, which shall also be posted on the
Department of State's Web site, to include:
--an assessment of the overall progress of the Haiti
Rebuilding and Development Strategy, including how the
USAID Forward agenda will be incorporated into the
Strategy, and any other significant modifications to
the Strategy during the preceding 6 months, with an
explanation of such changes;
--a description of the process by which State and USAID will
establish time-bound goals and quantitative and
qualitative indicators to evaluate the progress,
achievement, and lack of achievement of efforts that
comprise the Strategy;
--a description of U.S. Government programs contributing to
the Strategy, including the amounts obligated and
expended on such programs during the preceding 12
months, and data on the use of local implementing
partners at both prime and subprime levels and on the
use of direct funding to local and State institutions;
--a description of the extent to which the GoH and Haitian
civil society and grassroots organizations have been
consulted in the determination of such time-bound goals
and in the design and implementation of new programs
under the Strategy;
--disaggregated data, where available and appropriate, by
beneficiaries' region, sector, gender, and age;
--a description of how consideration for vulnerable
populations, including IDPs, women, children, orphans,
and persons with disabilities, has been incorporated in
all stages of the design and implementation of new
programs; and
--an assessment of the steps Haiti is taking to strengthen
its capacity to receive individuals who are removed,
excluded, or deported from the United States.
The Committee directs USAID to consult with the Committee
on plans and funding to implement the reforestration strategy
commissioned after 2008 tropical storms, including to address
vulnerable watersheds.
The Committee also recommends funding for agriculture
programs focused on staple crops, and public and private sector
efforts to increase the availability of reliable, affordable
electricity, including building the institutional capacity of
the GoH to manage the electric grid.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to prioritize
assistance to labor programs, particularly near the new Caracol
Industrial Park, to assist the GoH to capitalize on U.S. trade
preferences consistent with internationally recognized labor
rights.
Mexico.--The Committee recommends not less than $45,000,000
for assistance for Mexico, including for additional economic
development activities along the United States-Mexico border.

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Conflict Diamonds.--The Committee recommends $3,000,000 to
implement programs to prevent diamonds from fueling conflict,
including the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. The
Committee is concerned with reports that the Kimberley Process
is failing to adequately prevent conflict diamonds from
entering the international market. The Committee directs the
Department of State to engage with members of the OECD to
assess whether complementary mechanisms, such as those
coordinated by the OECD for other minerals from high risk and
conflict affected areas, are needed to prevent conflict
diamonds from entering legitimate supply chains.
Countering Violent Extremism.--The conferees recommend
$10,500,000 under this heading for activities to counter
violent extremism.
Counterterrorism in Africa.--The Committee recommends
$55,000,000 in this act for the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism
Partnership program, and $25,000,000 for the Partnership for
Regional East Africa Counterterrorism program. The Committee
directs that an additional $10,000,000 be made available for
programs among vulnerable populations that are susceptible to
terrorist influence, to be managed by USAID and coordinated
with other Federal agencies.
The Committee encourages the Department of State and USAID
to support programs in the Sahel region to support the needs of
IDPs and durable solutions that prioritize resettlement of
refugees from camps near Tindoug, Algeria.
Debt Relief/Sudan.--The Committee includes authority to
transfer up to $250,000,000 under this heading for debt
restructuring for Sudan, subject to a certification by the
Secretary of State. The Committee intends that should the
certification be impossible, such funds be used to address
other development needs in Africa.
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.--The
Committee recommends $5,000,000 to support the EITI, including
to enhance the capacity of civil society organizations to
participate in the EITI process.
Middle East Partnership Initiative.--The Committee includes
funding for MEPI under the MENAIF heading.
Middle East Regional Cooperation Program.--The Committee
recommends $5,000,000 for MERC.
Reconciliation Programs.--The Committee recommends a total
of $26,000,000 for reconciliation programs and activities which
bring together and facilitate direct communication between
individuals of different ethnic, religious and political
backgrounds in countries affected by civil strife and war, of
which $10,000,000 is for such programs and activities in the
Middle East and North Africa region. Of this amount,
$16,000,000 is provided under this heading and $10,000,000 is
provided under the DA heading. Funds should be leveraged to
secure contributions from other international donors, to the
maximum extent practicable.
The Committee also recommends funding for the ``New
Generation in the Middle East'' initiative to build
understanding, tolerance, and mutual respect among young
Israelis and Palestinians of diverse economic and social
backgrounds who have leadership potential. Such programs and
activities are to be conducted in the region.
War Crimes in Central Africa.--The Committee supports
efforts by the United States, United Nations, African Union,
and governments in Central Africa to capture Joseph Kony and
top commanders of the LRA, and to assist victims of the LRA's
crimes. The Committee recommends $10,000,000 to implement
Public Law 111-172, including for programs to improve physical
access, telecommunications infrastructure, and early-warning
mechanisms, and to support the disarmament, demobilization, and
reintegration of former LRA combatants, especially child
soldiers. The Committee directs the Department of State to
weigh the degree of cooperation by the Government of the DRC
with the AU and other regional partners in efforts to counter
the LRA when considering training additional DRC military
battalions.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State, after
consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the USAID
Administrator, to submit a report detailing progress toward
implementing the policy objectives in section 3 of Public Law
111-172, and a description of U.S. assistance provided for such
purposes. Such report shall be submitted in unclassified form,
but may include a classified annex.

DEMOCRACY FUND

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $114,770,000
Budget estimate, 2013...................................................
Committee recommendation................................ 230,000,000

The Committee recommends $230,000,000 for Democracy Fund,
of which $136,000,000 is for DRL's Human Rights and Democracy
Fund and $94,000,000 is for USAID's Center of Excellence for
Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance. The Committee notes
that the increase for the Democracy Fund is offset by an
equivalent decrease in the fiscal year 2013 budget request for
democracy programs.
The Committee recognizes challenges in implementing
democracy and human rights programs overseas, and that improved
coordination and communication between DRL, USAID's Center, and
NED would enhance the effectiveness of such programs. To avoid
duplication, the Committee recommends that DRL implement
democracy and human rights programs that directly support
diplomatic goals and objectives and the key priorities of the
Secretary of State, especially in restrictive environments; the
Center support programs that are an integral part of country
development strategies and that span the technical areas of
elections, governance, human rights, civil society and media,
and rule of law; and NED continue to target programs in
countries and regions in which the advancement of democracy and
human rights are particularly challenging.
Of the funds appropriated under this heading for the HRDF,
an additional $3,000,000 is for the Fundamental Freedom Fund,
an additional $3,000,000 is for the Global Human Rights
Defenders Fund, and an additional $3,000,000 is for
International Religious Freedom activities. Funds made
available for the Business and Human Rights program in the PRC
shall be matched by sources other than U.S. Government.
Ethiopia.--The Committee remains concerned with the
Government of Ethiopia's repression of the media, political
opposition, and civil society organizations and urges DRL and
DCHA to support programs and organizations that promote freedom
of expression, association, and assembly in Ethiopia as well as
broadcasting into Ethiopia.
Forensic Assistance.--The Committee recommends $1,500,000
for continued support for forensic anthropology programs in
countries of Central and South America where armed conflicts
resulted in large numbers of human remains that have yet to be
exhumed and/or identified, delaying justice and fostering
impunity. These funds are to be administered by DRL.
Internet Freedom.--The Committee supports continued funding
for the Department of State's Internet freedom program and
directs the Secretary of State to submit to the Committee,
prior to the initial obligation of funds, a report detailing
planned expenditures for this purpose. The Committee encourages
continued coordination and cooperation between the Department
of State, USAID, and BBG on the planning and implementation of
programs. Funds shall be used to promote human rights by
expanding open and uncensored access to information and
communications, including mobile phones, through the Internet
and other connection technologies, in accordance with the
Department of State's Internet freedom strategy. The Committee
encourages the Department of State to include digital security,
digital safety training, and secure communication technologies
that can also rapidly respond to threats to safe and uncensored
access to information and communication. The Committee directs
the Department of State to continue to monitor protections
against tools being used for illicit purposes, and expects the
Department to inform the Committee of any concerns.
Labor Rights.--The Committee encourages DRL to expand
programs that promote labor rights as a means of advancing
American interests and values. DRL and USAID's Center should
continue to support economic reforms that guarantee decent
working conditions and include working people in decisions that
shape their future.
Mexico.--The Committee notes that Mexican journalists and
social activists have been increasingly threatened and
assassinated, and recommends increased support for programs to
protect them.
North Korea.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State
to seek to ensure that multilateral organizations, including
the United Nations and the OSCE, are aware of the database
established with funds appropriated under this heading.
Prison Conditions.--The Committee recommends not less than
$3,000,000 under this heading to eliminate inhumane prison
conditions. The Committee is aware that millions of
incarcerated people in the world suffer inhumane conditions in
prisons and other detention facilities that are overcrowded,
unsanitary, and unsafe. Rates of malnutrition, disease, and
death among prisoners and other detainees far exceed those of
the general population, and medical treatment is often grossly
inadequate. Excessive pre-trial detention and dysfunctional,
corrupt justice systems frequently result in prisoners and
other detainees spending years in such conditions before their
cases are adjudicated. Inadequate, misplaced, or lost records
result in prisoners and detainees being incarcerated without
trial indefinitely, or being held long after their sentences
have expired. Eliminating such conditions would strengthen the
rule of law, protect human rights, and save lives.
Sudan.--The Committee encourages DRL to support democracy
and human rights programs in Sudan.
Women's Political Participation.--The Committee directs
that funds under this heading, and under the DA, ESF, MENAIF,
and INCLE headings, be made available for programs to increase
women's participation in political processes, including
political parties, elections, and leadership positions in local
and national governments. Funds should be awarded on a
competitive basis, and in accordance with section 7059 of this
act.

MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA INCENTIVE FUND

Appropriations, 2012....................................................
Budget estimate, 2013................................... $770,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,000,000,000

The Committee recommends $1,000,000,000 for the Middle East
and North Africa Incentive Fund, a new account that will
provide the Department of State and USAID necessary flexibility
to respond to unpredictable events arising from popular demands
for economic and political reforms in those regions. The
Committee recognizes the historic and unprecedented
opportunities for change, and underscores that the
administration's strong and consistent support for these
reforms will further U.S. security interests in strategically
important regions. In addition, this new account may prove
essential in assisting key regional allies should tensions in
the Middle East, particularly with Iran and in Syria, continue
to heighten.
The Committee recommends $70,000,000 for MEPI from within
this fund, of which not less than $15,000,000 should be for
scholarships for students at not-for-profit educational
institutions, in a manner consistent with prior fiscal years,
through an open and competitive process.
The Committee requires the Secretary of State and USAID
Administrator to consult with the Committee prior to the
initial obligation of funds, and intends that the design,
implementation, and oversight of programs will include the
participation of civil society organizations in these
countries, as appropriate.

Department of State

MIGRATION AND REFUGEE ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $1,868,100,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 1,625,400,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,300,000,000

The Committee recommends $2,300,000,000 for Migration and
Refugee Assistance.
The Committee is aware of the increasingly complex refugee
and IDP crises arising from conflict and instability in Syria,
Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, and Mali, and notes the destabilizing
impact of such crises on neighboring countries and United
States allies, including Jordan. The Committee recognizes the
need to address instability arising from human migration in the
Pan Sahel and Horn of Africa regions and to mitigate
opportunities for the expansion of extremist groups, including
al Qaeda affiliates. The Committee underscores that assistance
provided under this heading should be incorporated into a
broader strategy to address terrorism in Africa that includes
programs to expand governance, economic development, and
security.
The Committee is also aware of the ongoing needs of
refugees and IDPs in the East Asia and Pacific and Western
Hemisphere regions.
Afghanistan.--The Committee urges the Department of State
and USAID to work with the GoA to prioritize assistance for
conflict-affected and highly vulnerable Afghans through
disaster risk reduction, food security, livelihoods, and other
basic service delivery programs.
Burma.--The Committee urges the Department of State to
continue to engage with the Governments of India, Thailand and
Malaysia, and the European Union, to address the needs of
Burmese refugees.
Colombia.--The Committee does not support the decrease in
the budget request for refugees and IDPs in the Western
Hemisphere, and recommends funding under this heading for
increased assistance for Colombian IDPs and refugees.
Ethiopia.--The Committee is concerned that Ethiopia's
Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs, which receives
most of its budget from UNHCR, has been restricting access and
activities of humanitarian organizations in refugee camps,
sites, and areas of new refugee arrivals and lacks the capacity
to implement effective programs in some sectors. The Committee
supports efforts by UNHCR to strengthen oversight of ARRA's
management and the welfare of refugees, particularly in the
Dollo Ado camps along the Somali border.
Iraq.--The Committee notes that Iraqis who are being
threatened or targeted for assassination as a result of having
worked for the U.S. Government or U.S. contractors are facing
long delays in obtaining admission to the United States as
refugees, and the number of Iraqi refugees resettled in the
United States has fallen sharply since fiscal year 2010. The
Committee is aware that security concerns require thorough
screening of these individuals, and expects the administration
to make every effort to expedite refugee resettlement of the
most vulnerable and maximize the use of Special Immigrant Visa
processing while maintaining an effective screening process.
The Committee is also concerned that some 1.5 million Iraqis
remain displaced and in need of continuing assistance. The
Committee expects the Department of State to continue to work
to address the needs of Iraqi refugees and IDPs.
Israel.--The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for refugee
resettlement in Israel, to be awarded through an open and
competitive process.
North Korea.--The Committee supports funding to assist
North Korean refugees, including in the PRC. The Committee
condemns the forced repatration of North Korean refugees by the
PRC, and supports the involvement of UNHCR and other
international humanitarian agencies in protecting the rights of
such refugees.
Pakistan.--The Committee is aware that, according to the
Internally Displaced Persons Vulnerability Assessment and
Profiling [IVAP] mechanism funded by USAID and supported by the
GoP and the United Nations, many families who are displaced as
a result of the armed conflict are not registered to receive
humanitarian aid. The Committee understands that this has
resulted from flaws in the IDP registration system. The
Committee emphasizes that United States funding shall be used
to aid Pakistanis who are most in need, and directs the
Department of State and USAID to ensure that conflict-affected
IDPs receiving aid are those identified by IVAP.
Protracted Refugee Situations.--The Committee recognizes
that many large refugee populations, including Burmese,
Somalis, Sudanese, Afghans, Bhutanese, Palestinians, and others
have been unable to return home for generations.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a
report to the Committee not later than one year after enactment
of this act, indicating:
(a) the approximate number of people who, in the past
year, have received UNRWA services--
(1) whose place of residence was Palestine between June
1946 and May 1948 and who were displaced as a
result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict; and
(2) who are descendants of persons described in
subparagraph (1);
(b) the extent to which the provision of such services to
such persons furthers the security interests of the
United States and of other United States allies in the
Middle East; and
(c) the methodology and challenges in preparing such
report.
Resettlement.--The Committee is concerned with the many
formidable challenges facing refugees who have recently
resettled in the United States, including cultural and language
barriers, the rising cost of living, and limited affordable
housing and employment opportunities. Local U.S. refugee
assistance agencies are also stretched for resources, and the
Committee urges PRM to take steps to address the financial
needs of these newly resettled individuals and families.
The Committee is also concerned that an increasing number
of refugees resettling in the United States are experiencing
difficulty repaying their travel loans, which sometimes results
in credit impairment, despite available support to modify their
repayment conditions. To ensure that refuges are aware of the
support available, not later than 180 days after the enactment
of this act the Secretary of State shall publish on the
Department of State's Web site information on the loan
repayment process for the Department's transportation loan
program for refugees, including the process for requesting
modifications to the loan repayment agreement such as an
extension of time for repayment.
Syria.--The Committee urges the Department of State and
USAID to continue working with humanitarian organizations and
Syria's neighbors to keep borders open to Syrians fleeing
violence, provide access to basic services, and ensure their
freedom of movement and the use of camps only as a last resort.
Tibetan Refugees.--The Committee recommends additional
assistance for Tibetan refugees in Nepal and India, and
deplores the PRC's increasing repression of the Tibetan people.
The Committee is concerned that Nepalese officials have handed
over some Tibetan refugees to Chinese border authorities, in
contravention of Nepal's international obligations to protect
refugees fleeing persecution. The Committee supports efforts by
the Secretary of State to work with the Government of Nepal to
provide safe transit for Tibetan refugees and legal protections
to Tibetans residing in Nepal.

UNITED STATES EMERGENCY REFUGEE AND MIGRATION ASSISTANCE FUND

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $27,200,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 50,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 50,000,000

The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for United States
Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund.

Independent Agencies

PEACE CORPS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $375,000,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 374,500,000
Committee recommendation................................ 400,000,000

The Committee recommends $400,000,000 for Peace Corps.
The Committee supports the Peace Corps' efforts to
implement Public Law 112-57.
The Committee is informed that Executive Order 11103, which
provides returned volunteers with 1 year of noncompetitive
eligibility for Federal hiring, with possible extensions to 3
years, in practice often results in volunteers only receiving
this benefit for 1 year. The Committee directs the Peace Corps
Director to submit a report within 120 days of enactment of
this act, on whether the noncompetitive eligibility for Federal
employment of returned Peace Corps volunteers (including Peace
Corps Response volunteers) who serve in good standing should in
all cases be extended for 3 years, or at least match the
volunteers' length of service, without eliminating other
grounds for extensions of noncompetitive eligibility for
Federal employment. The Committee further directs the Peace
Corps Director to recommend ways that human resource
departments of all Federal agencies can be informed of the
current noncompetitive eligibility of these individuals.
The Committee includes a cap on Peace Corps representation
expenses of $100,000, and within this amount limits domestic
representation expenses to $3,000.
The Peace Corps Director is directed to submit a spending
plan not later than 45 days after enactment of this act on the
proposed uses of funds under this heading.
Funds appropriated under this heading are subject to the
terms of section 7076 of this act.

MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE CORPORATION

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $898,200,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 898,200,000
Committee recommendation................................ 898,200,000

The Committee recommends $898,200,000 for Millennium
Challenge Corporation.
The Committee continues to support the MCC's mission and
appreciates the MCC's responsiveness to its directions and
concerns. While the MCC has served as an incentive for
candidate countries to meet eligibility criteria and compacts
have improved the lives of many, according to the GAO compacts
have not always produced transformational changes envisioned
and the sustainability of some MCC investments remains in
question. The MCC has, with the concurrence of the Committee,
suspended or terminated several compacts due to coups d'etat
and other governance issues.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State, the USAID
Administrator, and the MCC CEO to jointly assess and report to
the Committee, not later than 180 days after enactment of this
act, on the extent to which compacts are aligned with U.S.
strategic interests on a regional basis and with other Federal
foreign assistance programs; the sustainability of the MCC's
investments by host country governments; and whether lessons
learned since the MCC's inception indicate a need for
adjustments in the MCC's model of development.
Funds in this account are subject to the requirements of
section 7076 of this act.

INTER-AMERICAN FOUNDATION

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $22,500,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 18,100,000
Committee recommendation................................ 23,500,000

The Committee recommends $23,500,000 for Inter-American
Foundation.
The Committee directs the president of the Inter-American
Foundation to submit, not later than 45 days after enactment of
this act, a revised policy on representation expenses
consistent with section 7020(a) of this act.

The Committee recommends $31,000,000 for African
Development Foundation.
The Committee directs the president of the African
Development Foundation to ensure that the Foundation's policy
on representation expenses is consistent with section 7020(a)
of this act.

Department of the Treasury

The Committee recommends $29,000,000 for International
Affairs Technical Assistance.

DEBT RESTRUCTURING

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $12,000,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 250,000,000

heading.

TITLE IV

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ASSISTANCE

Department of State

International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $2,044,705,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 2,506,502,000
Enduring operations................................. 1,456,502,000
Overseas contingency operations..................... 1,050,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,484,620,000

The Committee recommends $1,484,620,000 for International
Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to notify the
Committee in writing, within 5 days of exercising authority
allowing funds made available under this heading to be spent
``notwithstanding any other provision of law'', and such
notification shall include a justification of such activities.
CARSI/CBSI.--The Committee continues support for CARSI and
CBSI to address narcotics-related violence and corruption in
Central America, with a focus on reform of judicial systems and
professionalism of police forces. The Committee recognizes that
the success of CARSI and CBSI programs depends on political
support and leadership at the highest levels of Central
American governments, including to hold corrupt officials
accountable, and to protect judges, prosecutors, and witnesses.
The Committee recommends that CARSI be used to establish
Narcotics Affairs Sections at U.S. Embassies in El Salvador and
other Central American countries, as appropriate.
Central Asia Counternarcotics Initiative.--The Secretary of
State is directed to consult with the Committee and other
appropriate congressional committees prior to the initial
obligation of funds for this initiative.
Colombia.--The Committee recommends $145,000,000 for
assistance for Colombia, including not less than $15,000,000
for the Office of the Colombian Attorney General, of which
$7,500,000 is for the human rights unit. The Committee directs
the Secretary of State to submit a report on rule of law
programs in Colombia, including the amounts and uses of funds,
efforts by the Government of Colombia to end impunity, an
assessment of the results to date, and benchmarks for measuring
progress.
The Committee is aware of growing concerns with the effects
of glyphosate-based herbicides on the environment and human
health in areas where such herbicides are widely used in
agriculture, and recent scientific studies linking low doses of
glyphosate to abnormalities in amphibian and chicken embryos.
Women exposed to GBH during pregnancy have reportedly given
birth to children with congenital malformations. The Committee
requires the Secretary of State to certify, prior to the
obligation of funds, that the toxic chemicals sprayed by the
Colombian police do not pose unreasonable risks or adverse
effects to humans, including pregnant women and children, or
the environment, including endemic species.
As in past years, the Committee does not support funding
for aerial spraying of GBH in Colombia's national parks or
reserves unless the Secretary of State reports in writing to
the Committee, prior to the use of funds for such purpose, that
there are no effective alternatives and the spraying is in
accordance with Colombian laws and regulations.
Consular Notification Compliance.--The purpose of section
7090, Consular Notification Compliance, is to facilitate
compliance with Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular
Relations (``Vienna Convention''), done at Vienna April 24,
1963 and any comparable provision of a bilateral international
agreement addressing consular notification and access, and to
provide a limited but important remedy for certain previous
violations. This section was originally part of S. 1194, the
Consular Notification Compliance Act of 2011.
The Committee did not include in this bill the language
found at section 3 of S. 1194, which set forth practical
guidance for compliance with U.S. consular notification and
access obligations, for two reasons. First, the Committee views
that section as unnecessary because Article 36 of the Vienna
Convention, and similar provisions in other comparable
bilateral international agreements addressing consular
notification and access, are self-executing and have automatic
domestic effect as Federal law. Second, the Committee wants to
encourage the work already being done by the Judicial
Conference's Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure and
the Uniform Law Commission to facilitate compliance with the
Vienna Convention by Federal, State, and local officials. The
Committee also did not include the language found at section
4(a)(2) of S. 1194 that a Federal court grant a stay of
execution if necessary to allow the court to review a petition
filed under this section because Federal courts already have
statutory authority to provide for a stay under such
circumstances.
In an effort to ensure the expeditious review of petitions
and to conserve judicial resources, the Committee added several
provisions that were absent from S. 1194. The initial showing
provision limits review to those petitions where actual
consular notification violations can be established or have
been previously established, for example, in previous domestic
or international court proceedings. Judicial resources are
further conserved by allowing initial review and proposed
recommendations and findings on a petition for review to be
done by a magistrate judge and barring review of a petition if
the claimed violation has previously been fully adjudicated by
a Federal or State court. Finally, in order to ensure the
prompt resolution of these cases, the Committee included a one
year time limitation on Federal court review from the date a
petition is filed.
Guatemala.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the
International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala and
supports the extension of CICIG's mandate beyond 2013, as
necessary.
The Committee remains concerned with the lack of
professional, accountable police forces in Guatemala and urges
the Department of State to work with the Government of
Guatemala and civil society to implement a police reform
strategy.
Indonesia.--The Committee recommends not less than
$11,550,000 for assistance for Indonesia.
International Law Enforcement Academies.--The Committee
recommends the budget request for the ILEAs.
Mexico.--The Committee recommends not less than
$199,000,000 for assistance for Mexico, and supports the
prioritization of reform of national, state, and local judicial
institutions and law enforcement, and cooperation between the
United States and Mexico to combat organized crime and drug
trafficking along the border.
Philippines.--The Committee recommends $2,450,000 for
assistance for the Philippines, which is equal to the budget
request.
Police Training.--The Committee is concerned that police
training programs implemented by the Department of State have
not always been suitably designed, effectively implemented, or
sustainable, and urges the Department to conduct a rigorous
review of these programs, utilizing outside experts as
appropriate.
Rule of Law Programs.--The Committee recommends funding for
interagency rule of law training programs to improve the
coordination and content of such programs conducted overseas.
Fund are to be awarded on a competitive basis, in consultation
with DRL.
Tunisia.--The Committee recommends $8,000,000 for
assistance for Tunisia, which is equal to the budget request.
West Bank.--The Committee recommends $70,000,000 for
assistance for the West Bank, which is equal to the budget
request.

NONPROLIFERATION, ANTI-TERRORISM, DEMINING, AND RELATED PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $710,770,0000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 635,668,000
Committee recommendation................................ 695,668,000

The Committee recommends $695,668,000 for Nonproliferation,
Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs.
International Trust Fund for Demining and Mine Victims
Assistance.--The Committee supports the expansion of ITF's work
in mine removal, mine victim assistance, and the proper storage
and disposition of small arms/light weapons beyond Eastern
Europe and Eurasia.
Nonproliferation, Demining, and Anti-terrorism
Opportunities.--The Committee recognizes that dynamic change in
the Near East and ongoing threats and humanitarian needs in
other regions afford opportunities to conduct and expand
nonproliferation, demining, and anti-terrorism programs,
including in Syria should the current regime fall. The
Committee recommends additional funding above the budget
request to accelerate the U.S. response to such opportunities,
which is in the security interests of the United States and
regional allies.
UXO Clearance.--The Committee prioritizes the clearance of
landmines and other unexploded ordnance in areas where such
ordnance was caused by the United States, and directs that not
less than $10,000,000 be made available for UXO clearance in
Laos.
The Committee also intends that funds be used for UXO
clearance in locations in the Oceania region that have high
concentrations of U.S. UXO from World War II.

PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $383,818,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 249,100,000
Committee recommendation................................ 391,100,000

The Committee recommends $391,100,000 for Peacekeeping
Operations.
MFO.--The Committee recommends $28,000,000 for the
Multinational Force and Observers, including $2,000,000 to
address force protection enhancements. The Committee expects
the MFO to account for and apply funds in a manner such that
the principle of equality of contributions to the basic
operating budget between the United States, Egypt, and Israel
shall be maintained.
Somalia.--The Committee recommends up to $142,100,000 for
UN assessed peacekeeping costs in Somalia.

Funds Appropriated to the President

INTERNATIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $105,788,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 102,643,000
Committee recommendation................................ 103,018,000

The Committee recommends $103,018,000 for International
Military Education and Training.
The Committee is concerned that of the $38,944 spent in
fiscal year 2011 on IMET representation expenses approximately
25 percent was used for items such as ball caps, coins, and
tote bags. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to
eliminate expenditures for these types of items.
Ethiopia.--The Committee is concerned with the Government
of Ethiopia's use of anti-terrorism laws to imprison
journalists, political opponents, and others calling for free
and fair elections and basic rights. The Committee urges the
Departments of State and Defense to apply a consistent policy
to the Ethiopian military and police, who enforce the
government's repressive policies.
Indonesia.--The Committee recommends $1,800,000 for
assistance for Indonesia.
Jordan.--The Committee recommends $3,800,000 for assistance
for Jordan, which is equal to the budget request
Philippines.--The Committee recommends $1,850,000 for
assistance for the Philippines.
Tunisia.--The Committee recommends $2,300,000 for
assistance for Tunisia, which is equal to the budget request.

FOREIGN MILITARY FINANCING PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $6,312,000,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 6,383,320,000
Enduring operations................................. 5,472,320,000
Overseas contingency operations..................... 911,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 5,849,820,000

The Committee provides $5,849,820,000 for Foreign Military
Financing Program.
Colombia.--The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for
assistance for Colombia, in accordance with the requirements of
section 7045(a)(2) of this act. Of this amount, 25 percent may
be obligated only if the Secretary of State consults with, and
subsequently certifies and submits a report to, the Committee
that:
--the Colombian military is suspending those members, of
whatever rank, who have been credibly alleged to have
violated human rights, or to have aided, abetted or
benefitted from criminal or illegal armed groups; all
such cases are made subject only to civilian
jurisdiction for all stages of the investigation and
prosecution, and the Colombian military is not opposing
civilian jurisdiction in such cases and is cooperating
fully with civilian prosecutors and judicial
authorities;
--the Government of Colombia is not taking steps that could
result in immunity from prosecution or the suspension
of sentences for persons responsible for crimes against
humanity, war crimes, or other gross violations of
human rights;
--the Government of Colombia is dismantling paramilitary
networks and their successor groups, including by
arresting and prosecuting in civilian courts
individuals who have aided, abetted, or benefitted from
paramilitary organizations or other criminal or illegal
armed groups; supporting investigations by civilian
judicial authorities into links between public
officials and paramilitary groups; and returning land
and other assets illegally acquired by such
organizations or their associates to their rightful
occupants or owners; and
--the Government of Colombia is taking steps to protect the
rights of human rights defenders, journalists, trade
unionists, IDP leaders, and other social activists, and
respecting the rights and territory of indigenous and
Afro-Colombian communities; and the Colombian military
is implementing rigorous procedures to distinguish
between civilians, including IDPs, and combatants, in
their operations.
Eastern and Central Europe.--The Committee recognizes the
important contributions of NATO, including its newer members,
to coalition operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere, and
supports continued funding for such countries under this
heading.
Guatemala.--The Committee supports assistance for the
Guatemalan coast guard, navy, and air force to enhance regional
naval cooperation, maritime, and border security. The Committee
is aware of several investigations and prosecutions of former
army personnel for disappearances, torture, and extra-judicial
executions during the internal armed conflict. The Committee
will consider a future budget request for assistance for the
army, if the army:
--has a narrowly defined mission focused on border security
and external threats, and a timetable for ending the
army's involvement in internal law enforcement;
--is cooperating fully with civilian investigations and
prosecutions of human rights cases involving current
and retired military officers of whatever rank, with
the Inter-American Court on Human Rights, and with
CICIG, including providing timely access for
investigators to witnesses, documents, forensic
evidence, and other relevant information; and
--is publicly disclosing all military archival documents
relating to the internal armed conflict in a timely
manner in response to requests by civilian judicial
authorities.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State, after
consultation with Guatemalan and international human rights
organizations, to submit a report not later than 120 days after
enactment of this act assessing the army's progress in meeting
each of the above requirements, detailing any additional steps
the army should take, and identifying the quantitative and
qualitative indicators used to measure progress. The report
should also include:
--the number of human rights cases in which military
personnel have been prosecuted and appropriately
punished, and the extent of the army's cooperation in
such cases;
--the extent of military archival documents publicly
disclosed by the army; and
--the extent of the army's involvement in internal law
enforcement.
Honduras.--The Committee is concerned with increasing
violence in Honduras involving large landowners, criminal
organizations, peasant groups, militias, and Honduran security
forces. Assassinations of human rights defenders, journalists,
and social activists are common. In accordance with section
7045(a) of this act, the Committee withholds 25 percent of
assistance in this act for Honduran military and police forces,
which may be obligated only if the Secretary of State reports
in writing to the Committee that:
--the Government of Honduras is implementing policies to
protect freedom of expression, association, and
assembly, and due process of law; and is investigating
and prosecuting in the civilian justice system, in
accordance with Honduran and international law,
military and police personnel who are credibly alleged
to have violated human rights; and
--the Honduran military and police are cooperating with
civilian judicial authorities in such cases.
Indonesia.--The Committee notes the progress Indonesia has
made in strengthening democracy, improving the rule of law, and
addressing other challenges. However, military reform,
particularly accountability for past crimes, continues to lag
behind.
The Committee recommends not less than $14,000,000 for
assistance for Indonesia. Of this amount, in accordance with
section 7044(c) of this act, $2,000,000 may not be obligated
until the Secretary of State reports in writing to the
Committee on:
--steps taken by the Government of Indonesia in the previous
12 months to revise the Code of Military Justice,
Uniform Criminal Code and other relevant statutes, to
deny promotion, suspend from active service, and/or
prosecute and appropriately punish military officers
credibly alleged to have violated human rights, and to
refine further the military's mission and develop an
appropriate national defense budget to carry out that
mission;
--efforts by the military in the previous 12 months to
cooperate with civilian judicial authorities to resolve
cases of violations of human rights;
--efforts by the military in the previous 12 months to
implement reforms that increase the transparency and
accountability of the military's budget and operations,
and concrete steps taken to achieve divestment of all
military businesses; and
--whether the Government of Indonesia is allowing public
access to Papua, and respecting due process and freedom
of expression, association, and assembly in Papua.
Kenya.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State to
take steps to ensure that no United States training, equipment,
or other assistance is provided to any Kenyan military or
police personnel who have been credibly alleged to have
violated human rights at: Mount Elgon in March 2008; Garissa,
Wajir and Mandera in North Eastern Kenya between November 2011
and January 2012; and in the Dadaab refugee camps in North
Eastern Kenya in December 2011. The Secretary shall submit a
report to the Committee on steps taken by the Government of
Kenya to conduct thorough, credible investigations of such
violations and the identification of military units
responsible.
Mexico.--The Committee remains concerned with impunity
among Mexican military and police forces for violations of
human rights. In accordance with section 7045(f) of this act,
the Committee withholds 15 percent of assistance in this act
for Mexican military and police forces, which may be obligated
only if the Secretary of State reports in writing to the
Committee that:
--the Government of Mexico, in accordance with Mexican and
international law, has reformed the military justice
system to require that military and police personnel
who are credibly alleged to have violated human rights
are investigated and prosecuted in the civilian justice
system;
--the Government of Mexico is enforcing prohibitions against
torture and the use of testimony obtained through
torture; and
--the Mexican military and police are immediately
transferring detainees to the custody of civilian
judicial authorities, in accordance with Mexican law,
and are cooperating with such authorities in such
cases.
Middle East.--The Committee recommends the budget requests
under this heading for Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and
$17,500,000 for assistance for Tunisia.
The Committee supports Egypt's transition to civilian
government and notes the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces'
responsibility to safeguard that transition.
Pakistan.--The Committee expands the uses of FMF assistance
for Pakistan for counterpiracy efforts.
Philippines.--The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for
assistance for the Philippines, which the Committee understands
will be used primarily to support the Philippine Navy and Air
Force.
The Committee notes that the Government of the Philippines
has taken steps to reduce extra-judicial executions by military
personnel and militias, but new cases have been reported and
impunity for these crimes continues. In accordance with section
7044(f) of this act, $3,000,000 may not be obligated unless the
Secretary of State reports in writing to the Committee that:
--the Government of the Philippines is taking effective steps
to prosecute those responsible for EJEs, sustain the
decline in the number of EJEs, and strengthen
government institutions working to eliminate EJEs;
--the Government of the Philippines is implementing a policy
of promoting military personnel who demonstrate
professionalism and respect for human rights, and is
investigating, prosecuting, and punishing military
personnel and others who have been credibly alleged to
have violated such rights; and
--the Philippine military, and militias and paramilitary
groups under its control, are not engaging in acts of
violence or intimidation against journalists or members
of legal organizations who advocate for human rights.
Sri Lanka.--The Committee continues restrictions on
assistance, export licenses, sales and transfers of equipment
for the Sri Lankan military unless, in accordance with section
7046(d) of this act, the Secretary of State certifies to the
Committee that the Government of Sri Lanka is:
--conducting credible, thorough investigations of alleged war
crimes and violations of international humanitarian law
by government forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil
Eelam;
--bringing to justice individuals who have been credibly
alleged to have committed such violations;
--supporting and cooperating with any United Nations
investigation of alleged war crimes and violations of
international humanitarian law;
--implementing policies to protect judicial independence;
freedom of expression, association, assembly, and
religion; the right of political parties, civil society
organizations, and journalists to operate without
harassment or interference; and due process of law,
including ending arrest and detention under emergency-
type regulations;
--providing access to detainees by humanitarian
organizations; and
--implementing policies to promote reconciliation and justice
including the demilitarization of public administration
and development activities in the north, and devolution
of power.
The Committee endorses the recommendations contained in the
Secretary of State's April 2012 report entitled ``Measures
Taken by the Government of Sri Lanka and International Bodies
to Investigate and Hold Accountable Violators of International
Humanitarian and Human Rights Law'', including that the
Government of Sri Lanka establish an independent mechanism to
investigate the credible allegations of war crimes and
violations of international humanitarian law that the Lessons
Learnt and Reconciliation Commission failed to address.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a
report to the Committee not later than 60 days after enactment
of this act, detailing steps taken by the Government of Sri
Lanka to implement such recommendations and, absent credible
steps, further recommendations of the Secretary for
international bodies to independently investigate such
allegations and to hold perpetrators accountable. The report
shall also indicate:
--if suspected combatants detained during the conflict remain
in custody;
--if humanitarian organizations have access to such
detainees;
--the extent to which the Government of Sri Lanka is
protecting judicial independence, freedom of
expression, association, assembly, and religion; the
right of political opposition parties, civil society
organizations, and journalists to operate without
harassment or interference; and due process of law; and
--if the Government of Sri Lanka has ended military control
over public administration in the north and taken steps
to investigate repots of continuing violence against
protestors, disappearances, and extra-judicial
punishments in that region.
Uzbekistan.--The Committee notes that the administration is
relying increasingly on the cooperation of the Government of
Uzbekistan to transport supplies to United States troops in
Afghanistan. The Committee is aware, however, that the GoU
continues to repress its own citizens. The administration
should continue to urge the GoU to release imprisoned human
rights defenders and political prisoners, allow NGOs to operate
without interference, cooperate with U.N. human rights
monitors, guarantee freedom of speech and of the media,
implement conventions against child labor, and fully align its
election processes with OSCE guidelines.

voluntary contribution to the IACHR, of which not less than
$500,000 is for the Office of the Special Rapporteur for

Budget estimate, 2013................................... 103,900,000
Committee recommendation................................ 103,900,000

The Committee recommends $4,400,000 for the Inspector
General, $38,000,000 for subsidy appropriation, and
$103,900,000 for administrative expenses for the Export-Import
Bank (the Bank), including $3,500,000 to support opening four
new regional offices and 17 additional staff focusing on
supporting small businesses, and $7,000,000 to fund technology
upgrades to streamline the loan process. The Committee
encourages the Bank to enhance its support for U.S. companies
seeking to expand exports to Africa and other emerging markets.
The Committee directs that the use of the aggregate loan,
guarantee, and insurance authorities available to the Bank in
fiscal year 2013 should not result in greenhouse gas emissions
from the extraction or production of fossil fuels or the use of
fossil fuels in electricity generation that exceed the average
of the total emissions in the preceding three fiscal years
resulting from the use of these authorities unless, not less
than 15 days prior to each such use of such authorities in
fiscal year 2013, the Bank provides a written report to the
Committee that such use would result in emissions exceeding
this amount and indicating the amount of the increase, and
posts such report on the Bank's Web site.
The Committee directs the President of the Bank to provide,
not later than 45 days after enactment of this act, a revised
policy on the use of representation funds that is consistent
with the provisions in section 7020(a) of this act.

Overseas Private Investment Corporation

NONCREDIT ACCOUNT

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $54,990,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 60,784,000
Committee recommendation................................ 60,784,000

PROGRAM ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2012.................................... $25,000,000
Budget estimate, 2013................................... 31,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 31,000,000

The Committee recommends $60,784,000 for administrative
expenses and $31,000,000 for the costs of direct and guaranteed
loans for the Overseas Private Investment Corporation.
The Committee directs the President of OPIC to provide, not
later than 45 days after enactment of this act, a revised
policy on the use of representation funds that is consistent
with the provisions in section 7020(a) of this act.
The Committee supports the implementation of a memorandum
of understanding between OPIC and the USAID OIG, and directs
the President of OPIC to implement the agreement, including an
inspection/audit plan, as authorized, and allocate adequate
funding to support the mutually agreed upon plan in fiscal year
2013 to reimburse the USAID OIG for costs related to oversight
and audit functions. If the fiscal year 2014 budget request
includes a proposal to consolidate OPIC with the Export-Import
Bank and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, the Committee
expects the proposal to also consolidate the inspector general
function for these three agencies.
The Committee supports the continued presence of an Office
of Accountability within OPIC to evaluate compliance with
environmental, social, labor, human rights, and transparency
standards, and directs the President of OPIC to work with the
USAID OIG to determine the appropriate continued role of this
office in light of the USAID OIG's oversight role.
The Committee encourages OPIC to consult with relevant
Federal agencies and civil society organizations on the
advisability of adopting an investment policy that supports the
export of nuclear energy products and services to countries
that are developing or expanding their nuclear energy program.
U.S. participation in global nuclear development could enhance
nuclear power plant safety and reliability, increase influence
over nuclear nonproliferation policy, and create American jobs.
The Committee recognizes, however, that such an investment
policy would raise serious nonproliferation issues needing
thorough consideration, as many countries lack the ability to
safeguard nuclear material.

Development Agency to provide, not later than 45 days after
enactment of this act, a revised policy on the use of
representation funds that is consistent with the provisions in
section 7020(a) of this act.

DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PROGRAMS

The Committee recommends $1,426,000,000 for Diplomatic and
Consular Programs, of which $651,000,000 is for Worldwide
Security Protection. The amount provided is for the
extraordinary costs of operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and
Iraq, and is designated for OCO.
The Committee directs that the spend plan required by
section 7076 of this act include a detailed description of the
designated amounts by category, break-out costs of operations
by location, and staffing levels for each location and
provincial area, where applicable. In addition, with respect to
funds transferred to other agencies in support of Afghanistan
operations, the spend plan should include projected transfer
amounts and the number of staff supported by each agency.

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The Committee recommends $55,900,000 for the Office of
Inspector General at the Department of State, of which
$49,900,000 is for SIGAR and $6,000,000 is for SIGIR. The
amount provided is for the extraordinary costs of program
oversight in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, and is designated

agency, or organization to submit to the Committee a spend plan

Committee expects both SIGAR and SIGIR to submit such plans not
later than 30 days after enactment of this act.
The budget request did not include fiscal year 2013 funding
for SIGIR but the Committee understands that SIGIR requires
funding to draw down by March 31, 2013, and that SIGIR's
investigative branch requires operating funds until March 31,
2014 to close out open investigations. The Committee recommends
funding to complete SIGIR operations, with the exception of the
investigative branch, by March 31, 2013, and authority and
adequate funding to transfer SIGIR investigators to SIGAR until
this function draws down no later than March 31, 2014. The

and minimize administrative, support, and rent costs, and to
ensure the timely close-out of all SIGIR investigative cases.

DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS

The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the
purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should
make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money.
As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the
Senate, the term ``congressional directed spending item'' means
a provision or report language included primarily at the
request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a
specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit
authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan,
loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure
with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality
or congressional district, other than through a statutory or
administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process.
For each item, a Member is required to provide a
certification that neither the Member nor the Senator's
immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such
congressionally directed spending item. Such certifications are
available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee
on Appropriations (www.appropriations.senate.gov/senators.cfm).
Neither the Committee recommendation nor this report
contains any congressionally directed spending items, limited
tax benefits, nor limited tariff benefits as defined in rule
XLIV. deg.
