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,
and include a cost-matching requirement, as appropriate.
Programs that are failing to perform or meet sustainability
guidelines, or that have required excessive overhead or
security costs, should be modified or discontinued.
Section 7020(a) of this act clarifies the intended uses of
funds for representation and entertainment expenses at the
Federal agencies and entities funded by this act. The Committee
directs the Department and agencies to achieve further savings
by reducing the cost of executive meetings, ceremonies, and
conferences, and curtailing the purchase of commemorative and
promotional items.
Cost Savings and Efficiencies.--The Committee directs the
Department of State's OIG to provide the Committee a
consolidated list of OIG recommendations for potential position
reductions and office reductions or closures since October 1,
2012, including cost savings, and the Department's responses to
such recommendations.
The GAO's ``2013 Annual Report: Actions Needed to Reduce
Fragmentation, Overlap and Duplication, and Achieve Other
Financial Benefits'' (GAO-13-279SP) provided updates on the
status of the implementation of recommendations in prior annual
reports to reduce duplication, improve coordination, and
achieve savings at the Department of State and USAID. The
Committee directs the Secretary of State, USAID Administrator,
and the BBG to submit a report to the Committee on the status
of implementation of the GAO recommendations relevant to
programs funded by this act.
Energy Audits and Savings.--The Committee directs the
agencies funded by this act to improve energy efficiency at
overseas posts. If any such agency has not conducted
environmental assessments and water and energy audits of their
overseas post operations to assess consistency with Federal
energy efficiency standards and environmental practices within
5 years prior to the date of enactment of this act, such
agencies shall conduct such assessments and audits and should
implement the recommendations of such assessments and audits to
reduce costs and better align overseas post operations with the
department's or agency's targets for Federal building energy
efficiency and environmental sustainability in accordance with
Executive Order 13514. The Committee directs each agency funded
by this act to submit a report not later than September 30,
2014, 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.
Financial and Contract Management.--The Committee is
concerned with OIG and independent auditor findings on
weaknesses and shortcomings in financial and contract
management at the Department of State, USAID, and other
agencies funded by this act. The Committee expects the
Department, USAID, and other agencies to continue efforts to
improve financial management, contracting processes, and
internal controls. The Committee directs the Department of
State, USAID, and other Federal agencies, as applicable, to
report to the Committee on the process for complying with the
subawards reporting requirements in Public Law 109-282, as
amended by Public Law 110-252, and the fiscal year 2013
statistics for contractor compliance with such requirements.
Other Than Coach Class Travel.--The bill does not include
section 7073 of Public Law 112-74. However, the Committee
expects the Department of State, USAID, and all agencies,
commissions, and organizations funded by this act to comply
with the other than coach class travel restrictions in sections
301-10.122 through 301-10.124 of title 41, Code of Federal
Regulations.
Transparency, Governance, and Oversight Requirements.--The
Committee notes that oversight, transparency and accountability
are key factors in achieving optimal efficiency and performance
and includes section 7078 directing the organizations funded
under the ``Related Programs'' heading in title I to report to
the Committee on compliance with the 12 key broad-based
governance, accountability, and transparency requirements
identified and reviewed in GAO's ``Federally Created Entities''
report (GAO-10-97). The Committee directs the Department of
State's OIG to report on the organizations for which the OIG
currently has authority to conduct oversight, and the
additional authorities and resources the OIG would require for
oversight of the other organizations.

Congressional Budget Justifications

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 continue to
be the priority. The Committee expects 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
2015 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, USAID, and
any other agency that utilizes a Working Capital Fund to
include in the CBJ the total budgetary resources for the
offices that use funds from a WCF. The CBJ shall also include a
table on WCF resources that will serve as the baseline for
reprogramming and transfer purposes.
The Committee directs that the CBJs include estimated
savings from any proposed office or mission closing and actual
prior year representation expenses for each department and
agency that is authorized such expenses.

Definition of Program, Project, and Activity

For purposes of 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 of this act 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 of PPA described above.

Definitions

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 of this act. Thus, such CBJs, operating and spend plans do
not suffice as justification for purposes of satisfying the
special notification requirement.
Unless expressly provided to the contrary, the term
``appropriate congressional committees'' as used in this act
and report shall mean the Committees on Appropriations and
Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committees on
Appropriations and Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives.

Reprogramming Guidelines

The Committee directs the Department of State and other
agencies funded by this act to notify the Committee of
reprogrammings of funds as required by sections 7015 and 7019
of this act 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 of this act 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, as
applicable, a comparison between the most recent congressional
directives or approved funding levels and the funding level
proposed by the department or agency; WCF resources; title VIII
funds aligned with enduring operations and assistance funds;
applicable legislative references, including the authority to
spend funds in a manner notwithstanding any other provision of
law; and a clear, concise, and informative description/
justification. The Committee directs the Department of State,
USAID, 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 and congressional
notifications. Broadly stated goals and dollar amounts only at
the account level with few details about how funds will be
spent are not sufficient for effective oversight. The Committee
requests departments and agencies to consult with the Committee
on the content, format, and manner of submission for such
documents.

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 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 and posted on the Department of
State and USAID Web sites, as appropriate.
The Committee directs that the Department of State, USAID,
BBG, MCC, USADF, and IAF 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.

Prohibition on Taxation of United States Assistance

The Committee is concerned that despite the inclusion of
section 7013 (Prohibition on Taxation of United States
Assistance) in prior acts making appropriations for the
Department of State, foreign operations, and related programs,
foreign governments are taxing assistance provided by the
United States. This section also limited the 200 percent
penalty to be assessed in a subsequent year for taxes on
commodities only. The Committee has modified section 7013(b)
(Reimbursement of Foreign Taxes) of this act to make the 200
percent withholding requirement consistent with subsection (a)
(Prohibitions on Taxation), and to more clearly define the
terms in subsection (g) (Definitions).
The Committee intends that with the exception of income
taxes assessed to local employees and personal service
contractors, no tax (including value added taxes and customs
duties on commodities, and taxes on U.S. and international
businesses and organizations) should be assessed against
assistance made available by titles III through VI and VIII of
this act. If a country or entity does not provide substantial
reimbursement of such taxes, 200 percent of total assessed
taxes shall be withheld from subsequent fiscal year assistance
for the central government of the taxing country and
reprogrammed for assistance to other countries. The Committee
directs all departments and agencies that provide assistance
funded under titles III through VI and VIII of this act to
report on the department's or agency's rules and procedures,
including for assisting businesses and contractors to obtain
the necessary tax-exemption documentation and for training
contracting officers to properly identify taxes in contracts
and invoices, to implement this section.

Strategic Public Diplomacy and Communications

Public Diplomacy Coordination.--The Committee remains
concerned with the absence of a coherent and unified strategic
public diplomacy and communications effort by the Department of
State, USAID, and BBG, and notes that United States interests
abroad are adversely impacted by the inability of agencies to
clearly and effectively coordinate the articulation of
policies, programs, and information to a global audience. The
Department of State OIG's findings as reported in the February
2012 ``Inspection of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural
Affairs'' and the May 2013 ``Inspection of the Bureau of
International Information Programs'' are consistent with the
Committee's concerns.
In previous fiscal years, the Committee has recommended the
development of communication strategies by agencies and
improved coordination among programs, with limited success.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of State to
ensure that the Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy
and Public Affairs coordinates the strategic public diplomacy
and communication activities of the Department of State, USAID,
and BBG, as appropriate. Among other activities, the
Undersecretary shall review activities and programs and make
recommendations to the Secretary to reduce redundancies as well
as address gaps in programs; facilitate a meaningful dialogue
between the Department and BBG regarding the analysis of
language service and broadcast priorities as part of the annual
language service review, and advise the Secretary on BBG
priorities and broadcast strategies; and review public
diplomacy and media programs funded by the Department of State
and USAID and make recommendations to the Secretary and the
USAID Administrator to ensure coordination between programs and
reduce redundancies.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit, not
later than 180 days after enactment of this act, the status of
the Undersecretary's implementation of the above
responsibilities and a Department of State, USAID, and BBG
joint strategic plan for public diplomacy and communication, a
description of public diplomacy priorities, and a clarification
of the responsibilities of ECA and IIP and the Center for
Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, to ensure adequate
coordination and minimize unnecessary overlap, including an
evaluation of the function of the Office of Audience Research
and Evaluation.
Global Internet Freedom.--Section 7072 of this act provides
$44,600,000 for programs to promote Internet freedom globally
for countries whose governments restrict freedom of speech and
association on the Internet.
The Committee recognizes the complexities of promoting
Internet freedom, and that a multi-faceted U.S. Government-wide
strategy is required to concurrently support the efforts of
democracy activists abroad to counter the development and
implementation of repressive Internet-related laws and
regulations; to counter intimidation and violence against
bloggers and other users; and to enhance digital security
training and capacity for democracy activists and other users.
Circumvention tools and technology alone are not sufficient to
empower such activists. The Committee endorses the objectives
of the May 2011 International Strategy for Cyberspace.
The Committee requires that programs to promote Internet
freedom shall be coordinated with other democracy, governance,
and broadcasting programs funded by this act and in country
assistance, democracy, and broadcasting strategies, as
appropriate.
The Committee believes that the research of key threats to
Internet freedom and development of technologies that provide
or enhance access to the Internet is an ongoing process
requiring sufficient funding to maintain a technological
advantage over the censorship techniques imposed by
authoritarian governments. The Committee requires that all
research and development activities be coordinated with other
relevant Federal departments and agencies in order to share
information, technologies, and best practices, and to assess
the effectiveness of technological advances.
The Committee requires spend plans for the uses of funds
appropriated by this act to promote Internet freedom. The spend
plans shall also include a description of safeguards
established by relevant agencies to ensure that programs are
not used for illicit purposes. In addition, the Committee
directs the Secretary of State, the USAID Administrator, and
the BBG to provide a summary of all Internet freedom spend
plans demonstrating that there is no unnecessary overlap
between the Department and other agencies, and that the spend
plans support coordinated strategic priorities.
The Committee recommends $19,600,000 for the BBG's Internet
freedom and circumvention programs, a two-fold increase above
current program levels. The Committee provides for longer term
leases for BBG satellite transmissions, which significantly
reduces annual lease costs. The Committee expects that as the
BBG renegotiates its satellite lease costs the lease savings
shall be used to further enhance its Internet freedom and
circumvention programs. The Committee directs the BBG to
regularly report to the appropriate congressional committees
the lease savings utilized for such programs, and to consult
with the committees prior to using such savings for
administrative expenses.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to consult
with the Committee on options to mitigate the proliferation of
censorship and other technologies developed by U.S. companies
to authoritarian governments.
Funds are allocated according to the following table and
are subject to the provisions of section 7019 of this act:

Countries of Special Concern

AFGHANISTAN

The Committee recommends $759,692,000 for the operations of
the Department of State, including $15,096,000 for public
diplomacy, and $149,771,000 for the operations of USAID in
Afghanistan. The Committee encourages Embassy Kabul to
accelerate its downsizing and consolidation of operations and
personnel in light of the 2014 military drawdown.
The Committee recognizes that the diplomatic footprint in
Afghanistan is determined by many factors, including security
conditions, costs, and coordination with international and U.S.
forces remaining in-country. The Committee expects the
Secretary of State to continue to keep the appropriate
congressional committees informed of any significant changes in
Department of State and USAID operations, including plans to
close facilities in insecure areas or to acquire additional
property adjacent to the Embassy.
The Committee recommends $958,300,000 for assistance for
Afghanistan in this act, and updates prior year conditionality
on aid. The Committee expects amounts of assistance to decrease
significantly in the future due to changes in security
conditions, challenges associated with the formation of a new
government, reduced regional platforms, and travel limitations
on personnel that may be imposed by Embassy Kabul. The
Committee notes the large pipeline of assistance for
Afghanistan which exceeds $4,500,000,000, including prior year
funding and estimates for fiscal year 2013, and directs the
Secretary of State to submit a multi-year assistance plan not
later than 180 days after enactment of this act, describing
anticipated amounts and types of U.S. assistance for
Afghanistan following the drawdown of U.S. military forces.
Among other assistance requirements, 25 percent of the
funds appropriated for Afghanistan by this act are withheld
until the Secretary of State certifies, among other actions,
that a successful democratic election has been held and a U.S.-
Afghan Bilateral Security Agreement has been negotiated. The
Committee requires that security-related assistance provided in
this and other acts as on-budget support to the Government of
Afghanistan is calculated as part of the total U.S. on-budget
contribution per the Tokyo Conference, and endorses the
continued provision of such assistance by USAID on a
reimbursable basis only. The Committee recommends that the
Department of State continue to use international donor
conferences as a means of coordinating pledges and
conditionality on assistance for Afghanistan. The Committee
expects that gender related programs remain a top priority
during the upcoming elections and transition, and that
continued emphasis be placed on programs and activities that
regionally integrate Afghanistan into neighboring economies and
cooperative security arrangements.
The Committee is concerned with the ability of donors and
implementers to conduct effective program and project oversight
before, during, and after the transition, and does not support
the use of third party monitors for such purposes. The
Committee expects that if security conditions preclude adequate
oversight of programs or projects, such activities will not be
initiated or continued. The Committee notes that LES conduct
monitoring of programs in neighboring countries, often in
conjunction with the host government, and the use of LES in
Afghanistan should be explored more fully.
The Committee recommends $10,000,000 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 continues to support assistance for the
Afghan Reconstruction Trust Fund and its National Solidarity
Program to build the capacity of Afghan communities to
participate in and manage their own development projects, and
directs USAID to prioritize support for this program.
The Committee recommends that assistance for Afghanistan
under the ESF and INCLE headings be used to support the GoA in
replicating the Helmand Food Zone program in Kandahar.
The Committee supports the New Silk Road Strategy but
remains concerned that not enough is being done to support such
regional approaches to integrate trade and economies in South
Asia, which is exacerbated by the division of responsibility
between the Office of the Special Representative for
Afghanistan and Pakistan and the Bureau of South and Central
Asian Affairs. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to
submit a plan for the reintegration of SRAP into the Bureau of
South and Central Asian Affairs.
The Committee directs that funds made available for cross
border training and programs between Afghanistan and the
Central Asian countries shall be the joint responsibility of
the USAID missions in Kabul and Almaty.

EGYPT

The Committee notes that due to events on July 3, 2013, a
democratically elected government is no longer in place in
Egypt. As Egypt's political transition continues to evolve, the
Committee recommends assistance for Egypt only if the Secretary
of State certifies that conditions specified in section 7041(a)
are met. Waiver authority is included for a portion of such
assistance.

IRAN

The Committee condemns actions by the Government of Iran
which contribute to instability in the Near East region,
particularly in Lebanon and Syria. The Committee remains
concerned with the danger Iran's pursuit of nuclear
capabilities poses to the United States and regional allies.
The act continues the terms and conditions of section 7041(c)
of Public Law 112-74.
The act requires that funds appropriated under titles I and
III shall be made available to promote democracy and human
rights in, and for broadcasting to, Iran, and the Committee
expects that not less than $30,000,000 shall be made available
for such purposes under the ESF heading. The Secretary of State
is required to consult with the appropriate congressional
committees on the policy and strategy of the United States to
promote democracy and human rights in Iran prior to the initial
obligation of funds made available for such purposes by this
act, including implementation of the Internet freedom strategy
required by section 414 of Public Law 112-158.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a
report to the appropriate congressional committees detailing
the activities of the Department of State, USAID, and BBG to
promote democracy and human rights in Iran over the past 2
fiscal years, including program descriptions, financial data,
and assessments of program effectiveness in meeting stated
goals and objectives. The report shall be updated 180 days
after its initial submission, and may be submitted in
classified form if necessary.
The Committee directs the BBG to consult with the
appropriate congressional committees regarding 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.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a
report to the Committee describing steps taken by the
Department of State to secure the release of Pastor Saeed
Abedini, who is jailed in Tehran. The report shall include an
assessment of Pastor Abedini's health and welfare, and
treatment by Iranian jailers.
The Committee notes with concern the plight of political
prisoners in Iran, including Nasrin Sotoudeh, an Iranian lawyer
and human rights activist imprisoned in Iran.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a
report to the appropriate congressional committees not later
than 180 days after enactment of this act detailing the steps
taken by the Secretary and the U.S. Ambassador to the United
Nations to implement section 415 of Public Law 112-158.

IRAQ

The Committee recommends $1,124,125,000 for the operations
of the Department of State in Iraq (including $428,700,000 in
prior year unobligated balances), and $15,338,000 for USAID
operations in Iraq and directs that funding for such operations
be provided in a manner that accelerates the agency's departure
from that country, currently scheduled for 2015. The Committee
supports the ``glide path'' reduction in operations and
personnel which is aimed at bringing Iraq operations in line
with those at more traditional missions. The Committee supports
the President's budget request for a NCC in Erbil, does not
include funding for the Erbil Diplomatic Support Center, and
requires a cost-benefit analysis to explore other alternatives
for the current operation of Consulate Basrah, the cost for
which is expected to total $295,000,000 in fiscal year 2014.
The Committee directs that should the Department of State
determine that the continuation of Consulate Basrah is not
fiscally prudent and that the region can be covered from
Baghdad, any savings should be used for the security costs of
expeditionary, interim, or temporary facilities elsewhere in
the world.
The Committee recommends a total of $552,000,000 for
assistance for Iraq in this act, including the President's
budget request for FMF. The Committee requires a cost-matching
requirement for INCLE and NADR assistance, and expects
subsequent fiscal year budget requests for assistance for Iraq
to continue to decline as the GoI assumes responsibilities for
its needs out of its own resources, particularly oil revenues.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report
to the Committee detailing a transition plan for rule of law
activities from the Department of State to the GoI.
The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for democracy programs
in Iraq, which shall be the responsibility of DRL, in
consultation with the Chief of Mission, of which $5,000,000 is
for the Marla Ruzicka Iraqi War Victims Fund for continued
assistance for individuals and communities that suffer losses
as a result of armed conflict. The Committee directs USAID to
consult with the Committee on the use of funds prior to
obligation, and plans for the transfer of this program to Iraqi
entities.
The Committee continues support for programs to support
vulnerable Iraqi ethnic and religious minorities in the Nineveh
Plains, and for the Iraqi Christian community.
Section 7034(g)(2) of this act extends the waiver of the
requirement for an ARB assessment in Afghanistan and Iraq in
the event of serious injury, loss of life, or significant
destruction of property at, or related to, a U.S. Government
mission abroad as proposed in the President's budget request.
It is the Committee's intent that this is the last year for
such waiver in Iraq. Section 7041(f)(1) of this act withholds
from obligation 10 percent of funds for the costs of operations
at Embassy Baghdad until the Secretary of State reports to the
Committee on diplomatic facility construction projects in Iraq.
The Committee recognizes the destabilizing impact the
conflict in Syria has had on the Middle East and North Africa,
and provides an additional source of funding for programs under
the CFCF heading. CFCF assistance should be made available to
help mitigate related sectarian violence in Iraq, if such
assistance is requested by the GoI.

PAKISTAN

The Committee recommends $147,923,000 for the operations of
the Department of State, including $16,867,000 for public
diplomacy programs and $33,826,000 for the operations of USAID
in Pakistan. The Committee notes continued progress with the
construction of a NEC in Islamabad, which will provide
personnel with secure facilities that meet security and
earthquake standards. While the Committee endorses the budget
request for the construction of additional facilities at
Consulate Karachi, the security and management challenges posed
by Consulate Peshawar remain a concern. The Committee requests
the Department of State to regularly update the Committee on
progress in upgrading that facility and identifying and
securing a site for the construction of a NCC.
The Committee recommends $696,870,000 for assistance for
Pakistan, and notes the large pipeline for assistance which
exceeds $2,500,000,000, including prior year funding and
estimates for fiscal year 2013.
The Committee continues conditions on assistance for
Pakistan with minor modifications from prior years, and notes
that the first-ever civilian transition of power in that
country may afford an opportunity to renew bilateral relations
that are in the national interests of both the United States
and Pakistan. The Committee encourages Embassy Islamabad to
continue to prioritize U.S. assistance programs in an
increasingly constrained domestic fiscal environment, and to
reduce the number of pillars in which aid is provided. Priority
should be provided to the education, energy and economic
pillars, as well as security-related assistance and counter-
extremism programs, particularly during the transition in
Afghanistan. USAID and the Department of State should continue
assistance for democracy programs to build on the successful
2012 elections, and DRL is directed to submit to the Committee
a multi-year strategy for promoting democracy and human rights
in Pakistan. The Committee expects the Government of Pakistan
to make the welfare of its own people a top priority and to
demonstrate this by increasing national budgets for health and
education.
The Committee remains concerned with the welfare of Dr.
Shakil Afridi and conditions assistance on his release from
prison.
The Committee supports continued funding for the Pakistan
Civilian Assistance Program for 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 remains concerned with the 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 applied to funds made available for military assistance
for Pakistan.

\1\The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public
Law 113-6 but does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in
Public Law 112-25.
\2\Overseas contingency operations is funded under title VIII.

The Committee recommends $7,089,851,000 for Diplomatic and
Consular Programs, of which up to $1,867,251,000 is for
Worldwide Security Protection, including security costs in
Iraq. An additional $1,024,908,000 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 $2,548,716,000
for all U.S. direct hire salaries at overseas and domestic
United States diplomatic missions, and does not include the
requested authority and funding for phase III of Foreign
Service overseas comparability pay, as in prior fiscal years.
Overseas Programs.--The Committee recommends $2,033,386,000
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 those 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.
Diplomatic Policy and Support.--The Committee recommends
$786,180,000 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 $7,330,000 for
salary and program costs of the Office for Global Women's
Issues within the Office of the Secretary; not less than
$26,394,000 for salary and program costs for DRL; and not less
than $37,851,000 for program costs for the Bureau of Oceans and
International Environmental and Scientific Affairs.
Security Programs.--The Committee recommends $1,715,600,000
for the operation of security programs, including
$1,611,385,000 for WSP to protect diplomatic personnel,
overseas diplomatic missions, residences, and domestic
facilities and information. An additional $255,866,000 is
included within the Human Resources function for salaries for a
total of $1,867,251,000 for WSP in this title. The Committee
recommends an additional $900,274,000 for OCO costs for WSP. In
recognition of normalization of Iraq operations and to more
accurately reflect the full costs of security, the Committee
has included in WSP the security costs for Iraq and other posts
that were funded in D&CP in prior fiscal years.
The Committee recommends full funding for the WSP costs
related to the Increased Security Proposal developed by the
Department of State to address the recommendations of the
Benghazi ARB report and the Department's worldwide security
assessments.
The Committee includes language in section 7004(f)(1) of
this act that requires funds appropriated under this heading
and the ESCM heading (from proceeds of sales only) be made
available to address security vulnerabilities at diplomatic
facilities abroad, which shall be the responsibility of the
Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and
Foreign Missions, in consultation with the Director of the
Bureau of Overseas Building Operations. The Committee notes
that expeditionary, interim, and temporary facilities lack
consistent definitions by the Department of State and often
lack a dedicated source of funding for security upgrades, as
was highlighted in the Benghazi ARB report. The Committee
expects sufficient funds to be made available for physical
security upgrades and local guard staffing at expeditionary,
interim, and temporary facilities, and requests the Department
of State to submit, in writing, clear definitions and
attributes of such facilities.
The Committee notes that the Department of State's
comprehensive plan dated July 16, 2013, was not responsive to
the reporting requirement in section 1707(c) of Public Law 113-
6, and the Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a
detailed Increased Security Proposal including the results of
the security assessments by post and country and the
Department's priorities in, and estimated costs of, addressing
such results. The Committee directs the Department to regularly
consult on any changes to the Plan in a timely manner.
The Committee also directs the Secretary of State to submit
a report to the appropriate congressional committees detailing
the status of the Department of State's implementation of the
29 recommendations to improve security at diplomatic facilities
overseas contained in the Benghazi ARB report and relevant
recommendations of previous ARBs. For any recommendation not
fully implemented, the report shall include an estimated
completion date and cost of implementation. The report shall be
updated not later than 180 days after the first report is
submitted.
The Committee recommends that the Department of State
conduct joint training exercises with the security force of a
foreign government that is responsible for protecting U.S.
diplomatic facilities overseas and that receives training or
equipment from the Department for such purposes. An exercise
component may increase response time in the event of a crisis,
and provide additional information on the vulnerabilities in
response capabilities.

PROGRAM ISSUES

The Arctic.--The Committee recognizes the strategic
importance of the Arctic region to the long-term economic and
national security interests of the United States and notes that
the United States will assume the Chair of the Arctic Council
in May 2015. The Committee recommends that the Department of
State utilize available funds to increase the number of
personnel assigned to Arctic Council issues. Section 7034(t) of
this act provides up to $1,000,000 for grants to support the
application of science and technology to foreign policy issues
in the Arctic region, including facilitating the participation
of indigenous communities in the Council. The Committee
encourages the Department of State to establish the position of
United States Ambassador to the Arctic in order to enhance
engagement with other Arctic nations.
Atrocities Prevention Board.--The Committee recommends
funding under this title and USAID's Operating Expenses account
to train relevant personnel at the Department of State and
USAID in genocide and mass atrocities prevention and to support
full participation in the interagency Atrocities Prevention
Board, including staff to carry out the responsibilities of the
APB, in accordance with Presidential Study Directive 10. The
Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report
describing the key objectives of the APB, its activities thus
far, and its plans to train relevant personnel.
Consular Lookout and Support System.--The Committee directs
the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of
Homeland Security, to implement the August 4, 2011 Presidential
Proclamation relating to the suspension of entry of certain
persons who participate in human rights violations.
Cost Savings and Efficiencies.--The Committee recommends
funding for the Department of State's travel budget at no
higher than the fiscal year 2013 estimates reported in the
President's budget request.
The Committee directs that the Department of State reduce
the number of information resource management staff assigned to
the overseas regional information management centers. The
Department of State's OIG concluded that of the 100 staff
deployed overseas, 80 percent do not perform time sensitive
work and do not need to be assigned overseas. The OIG estimates
that $18,300,000 could be saved annually by moving such staff
to the U.S.
The Committee also directs the Department to further
implement the centralization of voucher processing for overseas
posts, as appropriate. The OIG found that the cost for
centralized processing is about $12 per voucher while
processing vouchers at post averages $34 per voucher, and can
range as high as $97.
Cultural Heritage.--The Committee recommends $5,750,000 for
Cultural Heritage Programs, 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. As in past years, the Department of State
should consult with the Committee prior to the obligation of
funds.
Cyber Issues.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the
Office of the Coordinator for Cyber Issues. The Committee notes
the strategic use of cyber diplomacy as a means to create a
more open, interoperable, secure, and stable global-cyberspace,
and defines cyber diplomacy as, among other activities, the
development of international norms of behavior in cyberspace,
efforts to promote international dialogue and cooperation on
cyber issues, international cyberspace governance capacity
building, collaboration in international cybercrime
investigations, and the promotion of Internet freedom.
The Coordinator, in consultation with the heads of other
relevant Federal agencies, is encouraged to consult on a
regular basis with other governments and organizations on
cybersecurity issues, including research and development,
infrastructure protection, standards, and best practices in the
field, and to consult with the Committee prior to providing
funds to U.N. cyber programs.
Export Control Reform Initiative.--The Committee supports
the President's Export Control Reform Initiative to modernize
and reform the U.S. export control system, and encourages the
Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of
Commerce, to directly inform businesses, particularly small
businesses, about any new rules and regulations.
Export Promotion Activities.--The Committee directs the
Secretary of State to submit a report on economic and business
diplomacy efforts supported by the Department of State, the Ex-
Im Bank, OPIC, USTDA, and other relevant components of the
Federal Government operating under Chief of Mission authority
at U.S. diplomatic missions. The report shall describe relevant
programs and activities, particularly in Africa, including
inter-agency coordination and outreach to the U.S. business
community; address the alignment of U.S. commercial interests
with regional development priorities; the development of
relationships between the public and private sectors in other
countries with U.S. businesses; and the contribution of such
efforts to the competitiveness of U.S. businesses overseas.
Human Rights Vetting.--The Committee supports the
Department of State's efforts to monitor U.S. military
assistance for foreign security forces, in accordance with
section 620M of the FAA. The vetting process applies to
individuals who are candidates for U.S. training, to those
individuals' units, and to units that receive U.S. equipment or
other assistance, as required by law. The Committee is aware of
the technological challenges and staff time involved in the
vetting process, and includes a provision under the FMF heading
requiring that not less than .1 percent of funds appropriated
for assistance for foreign security forces shall be used to
carry out the requirements of section 620M.
International Chancery Center.--The Committee recommends
$5,970,150 and modified language under this heading in
paragraph (5)(A) for the development, maintenance, and security
of additional properties for use as an International Center, as
authorized by section 5 of the International Center Act. The
Committee understands that $5,400,000 is for one-time costs for
infrastructure repairs at the International Center and planning
and maintenance of the former Walter Reed Medical Center, and
no further funds will be requested for these purposes.
Office of Terrorism Finance and Economic Sanctions
Policy.--The Committee recommends $4,000,000 for this office
which develops strategies, in conjunction with other bureaus
and agencies, for implementing sanctions regimes. This is an
increase of $1,040,000 above the budget request.
Prevention of Discrimination and Abuse of LGBT Individuals
Abroad.--The Committee supports legal reform and legal
assistance to protect individuals from arrest or other
persecution because of their sexual orientation or gender
identity, and directs the Assistant Secretary of State for DRL,
in consultation with the Assistant Administrator for DCHA, to
submit a report not later than 180 days after enactment of this
act on strategies for supporting efforts that address the human
rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities
in countries that continue to criminalize consensual
relationships and expressions.
Program Changes.--The Committee recommends $83,294,000 of
the $114,929,000 in the President's budget request to support
the Burma program expansion; 11 new positions for increased
diplomatic engagement in Asia and 5 new positions for the
Office of the Coordinator for Cyber Issues; initiatives of the
Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, Bureau of African
Affairs, DRL, INR, Information Resource Management, and the
Office of Medical Director; post assignment travel; foreign
assistance dashboard and budget system upgrades; 12
international conferences planned for fiscal year 2014;
$2,500,000 for the Office of Global Women's Issues Full
Participation Fund; and $22,500,000 for the Arab Spring
Regional Impact Initiative.
Public Diplomacy.--The Committee recommends a total of
$501,302,000 for public diplomacy programs to be funded through
direct appropriations and additional revenue from applicable
fees.
Representation Expenses.--The Committee does not include a
provision in the budget request authorizing the Department of
State to transfer up to $1,000,000 from D&CP to Representation
Expenses.
Standards for Accessibility.--The Secretary of State, the
Secretary of the Treasury, and the USAID Administrator shall
seek to ensure that construction projects funded by this act
are fully accessible to people with disabilities and in
compliance with the USAID Policy on Standards for Accessibility
for the Disabled, the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards
for Accessible Design, or other similarly rigorous
accessibility standards.
Tibet.--The Committee recommends not less than $1,000,000
for the Office of the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues to
carry out the 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.
Trade and Other Sanctions.--The Committee notes that
certain countries have offered asylum to Edward Snowden, an
American citizen who divulged classified information to the
press. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to consult
with the appropriate congressional committees on sanction
options against any country that provides asylum to Mr.
Snowden, including revocation or suspension of trade privileges
and preferences.
Trafficking in Persons.--The Committee recommends a total
of $50,200,000 in this act for TIP programs, of which
$6,521,000 is included under the D&CP heading for the J/TIP
($2,151,000 for programs and $4,370,000 for salaries). The
Committee directs the Secretary of State to make publicly
available an appropriate human trafficking hotline number 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 Report). The Committee directs the Department of
State to include in subsequent reports an assessment of
progress made by each country issued such a waiver in relation
to the country's written plan.
The Committee directs GAO to assess the methodology used in
the preparation of the Report, and the effectiveness of the
Report as a tool to encourage countries to address human
trafficking. The GAO should include specific recommendations
for improving the methodology and effectiveness of the Report.
Travel Cards and Purchase Cards.--The Committee directs the
Secretary of State to report on the fiscal year 2013 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 noncompliant purchases,
and the Department's policy for disciplining employees who
abuse the use of Government credit cards.
Victims of Terrorism.--The Committee intends that survivors
of Federal employees killed overseas by acts of terrorism
receive appropriate compensation from the U.S. Government.
Section 7084 of this act authorizes the Department of State and
other Federal agencies to distribute just and equitable
compensation for victims of international terrorism and their
surviving family members, including U.S. Foreign Service
officers, Foreign Service nationals, and civil servants.
Survivors of victims of international terrorism shall be
entitled to a death gratuity, an enhanced life insurance
benefit, and an education benefit that is consistent to the
benefits provided to survivors of members of U.S. Armed Forces
killed in combat. The Committee notes that $4,000,000 was
appropriated in fiscal year 2008, to be available until
expended, for compensation to the families of members of the
Foreign Service or other U.S. Government employees, or their
dependents. The Committee is troubled that notwithstanding
prior direction to the Department of State to provide a
legislative proposal in order to expend these funds in a just
and equitable manner, no such legislation has been brought
forward to date.
The Committee expects the Government of Libya to continue
to support and assist the investigation of 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.
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 in Libya that remains
blocked, the amount of settlement funds available to pay Libya-
related awards, and the total amount of certified awards.

The Committee recommends $69,406,000 for Office of
Inspector General, and an additional $49,650,000 in title VIII
under this heading is designated for OCO.
The Committee directs the Inspectors General of the
Department of State and USAID and SIGAR 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 provide to the Committee a
consolidated list of recommendations to the Department of State
for position reductions, office downsizings or closures, and
other right-sizing opportunities since October 1, 2012. The
report should also include projected cost savings and the
Department of State's responses to such recommendations and
actions taken.

funding for SIGIR, which is expected to sunset by the end of
October, 2013, and recommends $5,200,000 for the OIG's Middle
East Regional Office to fund increased OIG oversight of
programs and operations in Iraq.

EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $598,613,000

Overseas contingency operations\2\.................. 15,600,000

Committee recommendation................................ 603,628,000
Enduring operations................................. 595,000,000
Overseas contingency operations\2\.................. 8,628,000

The Committee recommends $595,000,000 for Educational and
Cultural Exchange Programs. An additional $8,628,000 in title
VIII under this heading is designated for OCO.
The Committee recognizes the importance of international
exchanges and directs that programs funded under this heading
will support U.S. foreign policy objectives.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to broaden
participation to high priority groups that have been
traditionally under-represented, such as youth and individuals
from rural and impoverished areas, the Benjamin Gilman
International Scholarship, International Visitor Leadership,
Citizen Exchange youth programs, and educator programs. The
Committee also urges the Secretary to continue to give priority
to critical language programs, programs providing overseas
training in critical languages for American students, and
exchange programs from countries with high national security
importance, including those with significant Muslim
populations.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit
within 180 days after enactment of this act a multi-year plan
to significantly expand the number, diversity, and experience
of participants beyond traditional study abroad programs and to
increase the pool of potential applicants for traditional
exchange programs through stand-alone, technology-supported,
sustained, people-to-people educational exchange opportunities,
including virtual exchanges. The plan should include annual
targets for the number of exchange participants that are a
significant increase in Department-funded participants
(approximately 58,000 in fiscal year 2010) and expand the
participation of traditionally under-represented groups; a
proposal for meeting the targets in a manner that decreases the
average cost per exchange participant; a multi-year timeline
for increasing the number of participants and decreasing cost
per participant; an assessment of the impact of all Department-
funded exchange programs; and estimated annual costs.
The Committee supports a new virtual educational exchange
initiative between the United States and Middle East, and
intends that funds be matched by sources other than the U.S.
Government, including from private foundations, foreign
governments, and the private sector. Such an initiative can
broaden understanding and engagement between U.S. and Middle
Eastern and North African youth in a cost-effective manner.
The Committee recognizes that the Muskie Fellowship Program
has helped individuals from Eurasia and Central Asia to promote
mutual understanding, build democracy, and foster the
transition to market economies, and directs that a portion of
the Fulbright awards from this region are designated as Edmund
S. Muskie Fellowships.
The Committee supports the President's budget request for
exchange programs with Japan, including youth and student
exchanges through the Tomodachi Initiative.
The Committee provides authority for academic fellowships,
scholarships, and exchanges for foreign academic professionals
and foreign university students from countries in the Near East
region, subject to the regular notification procedures of the
Committee.
The Committee supports the Secretary of State's efforts to
reduce the administrative and overhead costs of exchange
programs and expects that 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 is concerned that ECA has modified educational and
cultural exchange programs without adequate consultation with
the appropriate congressional committees, and requires the
Secretary of State to submit a report to the Committee on such
modifications since calendar year 2011. The Committee does not
intend ECA to subject administrative or de minimus
modifications to the notification requirement under this
heading. The Committee also directs the Secretary of State to
consult with the Committee prior to implementing changes to
exchange programs proposed for fiscal year 2014.
Summer Work Travel and High School Exchange 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, do not divert jobs from Americans,
and the potential for coercion or exploitation is minimized.
The Committee expects to be informed in a timely manner of
improvements to these programs and any recurring problems.

Law 113-6 but does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in
Public Law 112-25.

The Committee recommends $7,300,000 for Representation
Expenses.
The Committee directs the administration to submit a
semiannual report on the allotment and expenditure of
representation funds.

PROTECTION OF FOREIGN MISSIONS AND OFFICIALS

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $26,991,000
Budget estimate, 2014................................... 28,200,000

\1\The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public

Public Law 112-25.

The Committee recommends $28,200,000 for Protection of
Foreign Missions and Officials.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to continue to
submit a semiannual report on the number of claims for
extraordinary protective services by eligible jurisdictions and
certified as meeting program requirements, and the amount of
unobligated funds available to pay such claims.
The Committee is informed that outstanding eligible claims
for the extraordinary protective services provided to foreign
missions and officials from qualifying jurisdictions submitted
to the Department of State exceed $88,000,000. Section 7080 of
this act authorizes the Secretary to transfer up to $50,000,000
in expired unobligated balances from D&CP to this account to be
used for such certified eligible claims.

EMBASSY SECURITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $2,898,304,000
Enduring operations................................. 1,626,104,000
Overseas contingency operations\2\.................. 1,272,200,000
Budget estimate, 2014................................... 2,649,351,000

Committee recommendation................................ 2,664,351,000
Enduring operations................................. 2,105,803,000
Overseas contingency operations\2\.................. 558,548,000

The Committee recommends $2,105,803,00 for Embassy
Security, Construction, and Maintenance, of which
$1,320,452,000 is for worldwide security upgrades and
$785,351,000 is for other construction, operations, and
maintenance. An additional $558,548,000 in title VIII under
this heading is designated for OCO. The total amount
appropriated by this act is $25,000,000 above the President's
budget request for the Increased Security Proposal, including
at least $15,000,000 from the proceeds of sale of diplomatic
facilities.
Section 7076 of this act requires the Secretary of State to
submit an operating plan for funds appropriated under this
heading, which should include all resources available to the
Department of State in fiscal year 2014 for operations,
maintenance, and construction, and an accounting of the actual
and anticipated proceeds of sales for all projects in fiscal
year 2013.
The Committee is concerned that the Department of State is
not adequately balancing decisions about U.S. diplomatic
presence abroad with increasingly costly security and
construction requirements and shrinking budgetary resources.
The Committee is also concerned that Embassy construction
projects are not sufficiently prioritized and that construction
and security costs are not always consistent with mission size,
location, or threat environment, or reflect our national
interest priorities. The Department of State's periodic
rightsizing reviews are more focused on staff growth and the
size of other agencies' presence than with more fundamental
questions of what presence we require where, and how new
security challenges and related costs should be reassessed. The
Committee directs the Secretary of State to provide the
appropriate congressional committees with a new comprehensive
assessment of these factors, including:
--the current relevance of the principle of universal
bilateral diplomatic presence if the associated costs
cannot be sustained;
--alternatives, including expanded use of regional embassies
accredited to several foreign governments and creation
of Washington-based Ambassadors accredited to foreign
governments; and
--the utility of constituent posts such as consulates where
their functions could be assumed centrally and where
construction, security and other associated costs make
them unaffordable.

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $9,297,000
Budget estimate, 2014................................... 9,652,000

The Committee recommends $9,652,000 for Emergencies in the
Diplomatic and Consular Service. The Committee also authorizes
the transfer of up to $10,000,000 under the D&CP heading for
emergency evacuations and rewards.
The Committee directs the administration to regularize
funding for costs currently funded under this heading that are
not related to unforeseen emergencies or the rewards program by
requesting funding in fiscal year 2015 for these other costs
under the appropriate accounts.
The Committee directs that the quarterly reports required
by section 124 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
fiscal years 1988 and 1989, as amended, include, by category,
actual expenditures for the prior two fiscal years and
cumulative totals for the current fiscal year of the funds

Institute in Taiwan. The Committee does not recommend funding
for phase III of the Foreign Service comparability pay, as in

reconfigure the entrance ramp from Constitution Avenue to the
Theodore Roosevelt Bridge is not a USIP project and no USIP
funds will be used to support such project.

from the Center for Middle Eastern-Western Dialogue Trust Fund
and directs the Center to comply with sections 7051 and 7078 of
this act.
The Committee notes that the actual interest earned has
recently been significantly lower than in the past and directs
the Department of State and the Center for Middle Eastern-
Western Dialogue Trust Fund to leverage existing funds to
secure contributions from private and other public sources, to
the maximum extent practicable. The Committee supports the
Department's oversight of the annual grant to the Center but
directs that the Department not require prior approval of

International Chancery Center

Appropriations, 2013\1\.................................................
Budget estimate, 2014................................... $5,970,150
Committee recommendation................................................

The Committee does not recommend establishing this new
account, and instead includes language under the D&CP heading
providing $5,970,150 from the reserve available for the
International Center. These costs were included under the D&CP
heading in prior fiscal years, and are for the development,
security, maintenance, and operations of U.S.-owned property at
the International Center in Washington, DC, for lease or
exchange to foreign governments or international organizations.

East-West Center

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $16,695,000

National Endowment for Democracy

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $117,726,000
Budget estimate, 2014................................... 103,450,000
Committee recommendation................................ 135,000,000

\1\The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public
Law 113-6 but does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in
Public Law 112-25.

The Committee recommends $135,000,000 for the National
Endowment for Democracy, of which $100,000,000 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 2014 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. Additional funds above
the budget request are recommended for programs in the
following countries:

subject to prior approval by the Department of State or USAID,
or to administrative or managerial surcharges, and the NED
should not be precluded from competitively bidding on other
grant solicitations.
The President of the NED shall submit a report on the uses
of funds under this heading on a regional and country basis not
later than 45 days after enactment of this act. The Committee
directs the NED to comply with sections 7051 and 7078 of this
act.

Conflict Management and Mitigation.--The Committee supports
the work of USAID's Office of Conflict Management and
Mitigation to resolve conflict and promote reconciliation among
people of different ethnic, religious, and political
backgrounds.
Development Leadership Initiative.--The Committee continues
to support USAID's DLI, but notes that since the beginning of
the DLI many program managers have retired and USAID is in need
of mid- and senior-level program managers with field
experience. The Committee recognizes and supports the training
role that retired USAID employees can provide, and encourages
the USAID Administrator to utilize such training for direct-
hire staff.
Mission Closings.--The Committee notes the decision of
certain countries to terminate or otherwise downgrade bilateral
development relations with the United States, including closing
the USAID Missions in Russia and Bolivia. The Committee directs
that the Secretary of State and USAID Administrator, as
appropriate, regularly consult with the Committee on additional
countries or missions that may potentially downgrade such
relations.
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
not less than the President's budget request for procurement
reform. The Committee recognizes the need to protect taxpayer
dollars from waste, fraud, and abuse, and at the same time
curtail practices that are inefficient, unnecessarily costly,
and unsustainable. USAID's 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 requests the USAID Administrator to continue to
consult on these efforts, and urges USAID to reduce reliance on
large, inflexible contracts and work more directly with local
governments, NGOs, universities, and other entities to develop
sustainable programs in a transparent and accountable manner.
The USAID Administrator is directed to submit a report to
the Committee 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; and
--potential cost savings, including estimated reductions in
assistance through other partners.
Recruitment.--The Committee directs the USAID Administrator
to report to the Committee the number of U.S. military veterans
currently employed by USAID to include direct hires and
personal service contractors. The report should include hiring
trend data, steps USAID is taking to recruit and hire veterans,
and specific recommendations for increasing the hiring of
veterans, as appropriate.
The Committee directs the USAID Administrator to report not
later than 45 days after enactment of this act on the extent to
which USAID implemented the recruitment strategy referenced in
section 7059(l) of division H of Public Law 111-8.

The Committee recommends $117,940,000 for Capital
Investment Fund, and requires that the USAID Administrator, in

MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH

The Committee recommends $706,000,000 for maternal and
child health activities under this heading.
Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus.--The Committee recognizes
the importance of low-cost vaccines for women of childbearing
age in preventing tetanus in newborn children and the role of
public-private partnerships in delivering such vaccines, and
urges USAID to support efforts to eliminate maternal and
neonatal tetanus.
Pediatric Screening.--The Committee encourages USAID to
consider support for mobile outreach programs to expand and
improve access to pediatric eye screening for children in the
West Bank and East Jerusalem in a manner that delivers the
maximum amount of funds to the field.
Polio.--The Committee recommends a total of not less than
$61,000,000 in this act for polio eradication efforts,
including not less than $10,000,000 under the ESF heading for
programs in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The additional funds
above the President's budget request are to support a multi-
donor effort to eliminate the disease.
Uterine Prolapse.--The Committee recommends that USAID
support efforts to prevent and treat uterine prolapse in Nepal,
a debilitating disease that afflicts thousands of poor women.
Vaccines and Immunizations.--The Committee recommends
$175,000,000 for the GAVI Alliance, and directs the USAID
Administrator to provide details on the planned uses of funds
prior to making the contribution.
Vulnerable Children.--The Committee recommends $22,000,000
for the Office of Displaced Children and Orphans Fund to
support programs and activities that address the needs of
vulnerable children, of which not less than $9,500,000 shall be
used to implement the U.S. Government Action Plan on Children
in Adversity in three to five countries which embrace an
integrated approach to fully implementing the three objectives
of the plan, and which shall be administered under the
direction of the USAID Senior Coordinator for Children in
Adversity. The head of DCOF and the Senior Coordinator are
directed to consult with the Committee prior to the obligation
of funds.
The Committee recommends not less than $2,500,000 for
assistance for blind children, which USAID should administer in
a manner that delivers the maximum amount of funds to the
field. The Committee directs USAID to submit a report detailing
the uses of funds for blind children in fiscal year 2013 and
planned uses of such funds in fiscal year 2014, including
implementing partners, services provided, objectives of the
program, and number of beneficiaries.
The Committee recommends support for programs that address
autism spectrum disorders, including treatment and the training
of healthcare workers to better diagnose such disorders.

NUTRITION

The Committee recommends $95,000,000 for nutrition programs
under this heading, to be made available through USAID.
The Committee notes the recent announcement of the
development of a governmentwide, cross-sectoral global
nutrition strategy which should include a description of focus
countries, specific nutrition intervention targets, and a plan
for reducing malnutrition and stunting rates. The Committee
directs the USAID Administrator to consult with the Committee
on such strategy going forward.
Micronutrients.--The Committee recommends not less than
$33,000,000 for micronutrients, of which not less than
$22,500,000 is to address vitamin A deficiencies. The Committee
recommends that nutrition programs, including micronutrients,
also be funded by the Department of State and USAID within
programs to combat HIV/AIDS. The Committee recommends not less
than $2,500,000 for the USAID/UNICEF Iodine Deficiency Disorder
program to prevent mental retardation in children.

FAMILY PLANNING/REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

The Committee recommends a total of $669,500,000 from all
accounts in this act for family planning and reproductive
health programs, including $565,000,000 under this heading,
$65,000,000 under the ESF heading, and $39,500,000 for UNFPA.
The Committee recognizes that there is a need to accelerate
research and development of contraceptives that are more
effective, affordable, and easier to deliver and may also
prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The Committee directs
USAID to increase funding to its Office of Population and
Reproductive Health to support the expansion of such efforts,
and encourages partnerships and cost-sharing with USAID's
Office of HIV/AIDS and NIH. The Committee directs USAID to
consult with the Committee on funding for such purposes.

HIV/AIDS

The Committee recommends a total of $6,000,000,000 for
programs and activities to combat HIV/AIDS, of which
$5,670,000,000 is for the Department of State and $330,000,000
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, which may not exceed 33
percent of the total amount of funds contributed to the Global
Fund from all sources. The Committee notes the progress made by
the Global Fund Board of Directors and Secretariat in adopting
and implementing reforms to further the transparency,
accountability and effectiveness of Global Fund programs, and
emphasizes that a strong Global Fund OIG is necessary for
proper oversight of donor contributions.
The Committee notes the progress made in the collection of
information about taxation of Global Fund assistance by
recipient countries, but remains concerned with the continued
practice of taxation by such countries. The Committee directs
OGAC to continue to work with the Global Fund to obtain
information on the estimated amount of taxes collected on
Global Fund assistance by host countries each year, by country.
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, the private
sector, 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 grants to leverage increased
support for, and funding of, Global Fund activities from donors
other than the U.S. Government.
Microbicides.--The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for
research on, and development of, microbicides to prevent HIV.
PEPFAR.--The Committee recognizes that PEPFAR plays a key
role in HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment globally.
The Committee recognizes that continued small investments
by PEPFAR in concentrated epidemic settings leverage a greater
U.S. investment in the Global Fund, ensuring quality in
programs targeting key population groups. The Committee directs
OGAC to submit a report on how PEPFAR intends to provide
continued support to concentrated epidemic countries to ensure
quality of Global Fund programs, and how transition plans
reflect the safety and rights of key populations who are
particularly vulnerable to reduction of PEPFAR resources.
The Committee encourages OGAC to increase efforts to expand
pediatric treatment programs to meet the targets included in
Public Law 108-25, and recommends that the Coordinator include
expanded testing of high risk pediatric populations for early
diagnosis and initiation of anti-retroviral therapy for infants
and children as a priority in country operating plans.
The Committee directs the USAID Administrator, in
consultation with the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, to submit a
report not later than 180 days after enactment of this act
describing efforts to increase equitable access to qualified
health workers in developing countries, particularly in
underserved areas, including by training more women health
workers. The report should identify countries where
quantifiable progress has been made over the past 5 years and
where the most acute health worker shortages currently exist.
The Committee requires the Secretary of State to report on
transition plans for countries receiving PEPFAR funding,
including South Africa.
The Committee directs the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator to
consult with the Committee on its response to the
recommendations included in GAO's ``President's Emergency Plan
for AIDS Relief: Drug Supply Chains are Stronger, but More
Steps are Needed to Reduce Risks'' report (GAO-13-483).
UNAIDS.--The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for a U.S.
contribution to UNAIDS.
Vaccines.--The Committee recommends that, among other
methods for preventing the transmission of HIV, USAID should
continue to support research and development of a vaccine to
combat the AIDS virus.

OTHER GLOBAL HEALTH ISSUES

Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia.--The Committee is
concerned with the mounting global human health and economic
costs associated with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, which
are estimated to afflict more than 35 million people worldwide,
and urges the Department of State, in coordination with USAID,
to work with HHS and other relevant Federal agencies, the
United Nations, and foreign governments, to begin the process
of establishing a Global Alzheimer's and Dementia Action Plan.
The Committee directs the Department of State to report to the
Committee on these efforts not later than 180 days after
enactment of this act.
Malaria.--The Committee recommends $667,000,000 for
programs to combat malaria and encourages USAID to continue to
support public-private partnerships, research and 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 new insecticides
and a malaria vaccine.
The Committee supports the work of the Federal inter-agency
and institutions of higher learning in addressing the health,
economic, and security impacts of malaria and other parasitic
diseases, and in seeking improvements in FDA-approved drugs for
malaria prevention.
The Committee reaffirms its support for the Coordinator of
U.S. Government Activities to Combat Malaria Globally as
established in Public Law 110-293, and expects that section 304
of such law shall be implemented across all relevant executive
branch agencies.
Neglected Tropical Diseases.--The Committee recommends
$100,000,000 for continued support for USAID's integrated NTD
program to eliminate soil-transmitted helminthiasis,
schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis,
trachoma, and leprosy which afflict hundreds of millions of
people in tropical countries. The Committee also notes the
contributions of the private sector in research and development
and product innovation to improve diagnostic and therapeutic
tools to treat patients with NTDs.
Pandemic Influenza and Other Emerging Threats.--The
Committee recommends $75,000,000 to combat pandemic influenza
and other highly virulent viruses and emerging diseases, and is
concerned with the continuing health risks to humans from the
H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, as well as the Middle East respiratory
syndrome coronavirus. The Committee directs the administration
to request sufficient funds for this purpose in subsequent
fiscal years.
Tuberculosis.--The Committee recommends $225,000,000 for
programs to combat tuberculosis.

DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $2,519,144,000
Budget estimate, 2014................................... 2,837,812,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,507,001,000

\1\The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public
Law 113-6 but does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in
Public Law 112-25.

The Committee recommends $2,507,001,000 for Development
Assistance.
The Committee directs that relevant USAID bureaus and
offices that support cross-cutting development programs shall
coordinate such programs on a regular basis.

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY

The Committee recommends $1,100,000,000 for the Feed the
Future program from all accounts in this act. The Committee
supports FtF's country-driven approach to address causes of
hunger and poverty, and to create long term solutions to food
insecurity and malnutrition. The Committee recognizes the
importance of integrating 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.
Cotton Contracts.--The Committee notes that the drop in the
world cotton price resulted in default, or risk of default, for
some U.S. cotton contracts, and that in some countries legal
redress may be lacking. Therefore, the Committee requests the
Secretary of State to report on the extent of such risks on a
regional basis, and including actions taken by the Governments
of Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Thailand to address such defaults,
and an assessment of respective judicial systems to resolve
cases in a fair and impartial manner.
Feed the Future Collaborative Research Innovation Lab.--The
Committee recommends not less than $32,000,000 for the FtF
CRIL, formerly known as the Collaborative Research Support
Program, and supports efforts to improve agricultural
productivity, nutritional quality and security, and innovative
research 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 partnering with such institutions with
specialized capability in agriculture research to assist
developing countries to improve food production.
Sustainable Agriculture.--The Committee encourages USAID to
support programs that train farmers in sustainable agricultural
techniques and methods that increase productivity, particularly
in sub-Saharan Africa.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Cooperative Development.--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 $10,000,000 for the
Cooperative Development Program managed by USAID's Office of
Innovation and Development Alliances.
Measuring Economic Growth.--The Committee directs the USAID
Assistant Administrator for Economic Growth, Education and
Environment to continue to consult with the Committee on how to
set meaningful goals and objectives, and effectively measure
results, from technical assistance and capacity building
activities to promote economic growth, as the impact of such
assistance may not be apparent until years later.
Microenterprise and Microfinance Development Programs.--The
Committee recommends $250,000,000 in this act for microfinance
and microenterprise development programs. USAID is directed to
consult with the Committee and other interested stakeholders on
ways to maximize the use of microenterprise and microfinance
assistance to benefit the poorest people. The purpose of
section 7034(p) of this act is to reduce the cost of USAID's
annual Microenterprise Results Report. The Committee directs
the USAID Administrator to consult with the Committee on
adjustments that can further reduce the cost of the report.
Trade Capacity Building.--The Committee recommends not less
than $10,000,000 under this heading and an additional
$10,000,000 under the ESF heading for labor and environmental
capacity building activities relating to free trade agreements
with countries of Central America, Peru, the Dominican
Republic, and Colombia.

EDUCATION

Basic Education.--The Committee recommends $501,500,000 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. The Committee notes that the
total unobligated balance of prior year appropriations for
basic education, excluding fiscal year 2013, exceeds
$1,388,000,000.
Global Partnership for Education.--The Committee recommends
$25,000,000 for the GPE, and directs the USAID Administrator to
consult with the Committee on GPE's efforts to improve
monitoring and evaluation, and on the effectiveness and
sustainability of programs.
Higher Education.--The Committee recommends not less than
$225,000,000 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.
The Committee supports the work of land grant institutions
of higher learning with specialized capabilities and encourages
USAID to partner with such organizations.
The Committee supports cost-effective programs that offer
educational opportunities at U.S. post-secondary institutions
to students from underserved populations including from
indigenous populations and persons with disabilities, and
women.
The Committee directs USAID to post all funding
opportunities for higher education institutions on its Web
site. Partners should be selected through a competitive
process.
American Schools and Hospitals Abroad Program.--The
Committee recommends $23,000,000 for the ASHA program. Grants
should be awarded through a competitive process and in
accordance with all applicable rules and regulations.

ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMS

The Committee recommends not less than $1,153,500,000 in
this act for bilateral and multilateral environment programs.
Funds for environment programs are allocated according to
the following table and are subject to the provisions of
section 7019 of this act:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adaptation and Mitigation.--The Committee recommends
assistance through the Department of State, USAID, and
multilateral environment funds to enable developing countries
to adapt to decreases in agricultural productivity, water
scarcity, and rising temperatures and sea levels, and to
mitigate contributors to climate change.
Sustainable Landscapes and Biodiversity.--The Committee
recommends $123,500,000 in this act for programs to protect
sustainable landscapes, and an additional $225,000,000 for
biodiversity conservation programs, including $2,000,000 to
implement and enforce section 8204 of Public Law 110-246,
$20,000,000 for the Initiative for Conservation in the Andean
Amazon, and $11,000,000 for the Brazilian Amazon.
The Committee recommends assistance to support efforts by
Brazilian and Andean indigenous groups to protect their
territories from illegal loggers, miners, ranchers, and other
encroachment, and to promote public support for Brazil's
national parks.
The Committee supports the Amazon Region Protected Areas
program.
The Committee recommends that of the funds made available
for the Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment,
not less than $17,500,000 be apportioned directly to the USFWS
which should also utilize the technical expertise of the USFS,
the USNPS, NOAA, and other appropriate Federal entities. The
Committee emphasizes that CARPE's success depends on building
the capacity of governments in Central Africa 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 effective law enforcement for wildlife protection
and park management. Buy-in by governments, in coordination
with implementing partners, is essential to make CARPE a more
effective and sustainable program. The Committee notes the
efforts of the Government of Gabon as illustrative of what can
be achieved with leadership and modest resources to
significantly reduce illegal logging and poaching, and conserve
tropical forest and marine environments.
The Committee recommends $1,000,000 be 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 $3,500,000 for USFS
forest and wildlife conservation programs.
The Committee recommends continued funding to protect great
apes in Central Africa and Indonesia, and wildlife in South
Sudan and Niger.
The Committee supports funding, including under the INCLE
heading, for programs to combat trafficking in wildlife and
wildlife products, including between Africa and Asia. The
poaching crisis is decimating elephant and rhinoceros
populations and providing illicit revenue to traffickers,
terrorists, and other criminal entities. The Committee supports
the development of a Central African wildlife law enforcement
network that includes the professionalization of park guards
and other law enforcement officials, site-based conservation
activities, and tools and technologies for measuring the
success of these efforts. The Committee recognizes the
expertise and assets, including the provision of used
equipment, of AFRICOM in addressing the poaching crisis.
The Committee is aware of the rapid deforestation and loss
of biodiversity in the Atlantic Forest region of Paraguay, and
supports funding at not less than the fiscal year 2013 level to
help address this problem.
The Committee is increasingly concerned with the loss of
tropical forests that are habitat for many endangered species,
particularly in the Amazon Basin, Central America, Central
Africa, and Indonesia, due to agricultural conversion,
industrial scale logging, mining, other extractive industries
and large hydroelectric dams that result in the displacement of
local people, are unsustainable, and expose these areas to
further development and environmental degradation. The
Committee does not support the use of funds appropriated by
this act for such activities or the construction of roads or
other infrastructure to facilitate such activities, or for the
cultivation or processing of African oil palm, if doing so
would contribute to significant loss of native species, disrupt
or contaminate natural water sources, reduce local food
security, or cause the forced displacement of local people.
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 and energy
efficiency technologies, and to support other efforts to
reduce, mitigate, and/or sequester emissions of greenhouse
gases.
International Financial Institutions.--Section
7060(c)(9)(E) of this act requires the Secretary of the
Treasury to instruct the executive directors of each
international financial institution that it is the policy of
the United States to oppose any loan, grant, strategy or policy
of such institution that would result in the construction of
any coal-fired power plant or large hydroelectric dam.
Marine Protection.--The Committee is aware that emissions
from fossil fuels and deforestation are changing the acidity of
the ocean in ways that threaten fish and other ocean species on
which many humans depend for survival, and encourages the
Department of State and the Department of the Treasury to
coordinate with NOAA in efforts to reduce such emissions.
The Committee recognizes that scientific exchanges between
U.S. and Cuban scientists could help protect the Gulf of Mexico
and U.S. shorelines from environmental disasters from oil and
gas exploration, as well as promote scientific advances
beneficial to both countries and the region, and directs the
Secretary of State to work with the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Secretary of Commerce to foster increased engagement
with Cuban scientists.
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 dams on the Lower Mekong and on
the river's tributaries. The Committee recommends support for
the Mekong River Commission to prevent or mitigate the adverse
impacts of large hydroelectric projects.
Toxic Pollution.--The Committee recommends not less than
$5,000,000 for small grants to support initiatives to eliminate
threats to human health and the environment from toxic
chemicals such as lead, chromium, arsenic, cadmium, and
mercury, and from mining, surface water contamination,
smelting, oil refining, coal power plants, chemical plants,
untreated sewage, garbage dumps, and other causes. Funds are to
be awarded on a competitive basis.
Waste Recycling.--The Committee recommends not less than
$5,000,000 for small grants to support initiatives to recycle
waste which threatens human health and the environment and
which, if recycled, could generate income, improve agriculture,
and produce energy. Funds are to be awarded on a competitive
basis.
Report.--The Committee is concerned with the conversion of
tropical forest to agricultural use and supports the Tropical
Forest Alliance which aims to eliminate deforestation from
beef, soy, palm oil, and paper supply chains by 2020. The
Committee directs the Secretary of State, in consultation with
the Secretary of Agriculture, the U.S. Trade Representative,
and the heads of other relevant Federal agencies, to submit a
report on the administration's plan and a timetable for meeting
expected outcomes, including to: (1) redirect production onto
already deforested lands; (2) increase supply-chain tracking
and transparency; (3) negotiate forest protections in trade
agreements; (4) advance deforestation-free procurement; (5)
increase private-sector investments in deforestation-free
agriculture; and (6) prevent importation of products produced
on illegally deforested lands.

GENDER EQUALITY

The Committee supports the budget request of $1,909,920,000
in this act for gender programs, to promote women's political
leadership, implement a multiyear strategy to respond to
gender-based violence, and support implementation of the U.S.
National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security.
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 U.S. diplomatic and development
efforts on raising the status, increasing participation, and
protecting the rights of women and girls worldwide, and to post
on respective Web sites specific steps taken to accomplish
these objectives. The Committee recommends funding for the Full
Participation Fund to support the integration of gender in
operations, diplomacy and programming.
The Committee directs that U.S. diplomatic and development
efforts promote gender equality worldwide consistent with the
activities enumerated in the Gender Equality and Female
Empowerment Policy and U.S. Strategy to Prevent and Respond to
Gender-Based Violence Globally.
Child Marriage.--The Committee directs the Secretary of
State, in consultation with the Coordinator for Global Women's
issues and USAID's Senior Coordinator for Gender Equality and
Women's Empowerment, to submit a strategy to accomplish the
goals of Public Law 113-4. The Committee recommends not less
than $5,000,000 for programs that reduce the incidence of child
marriage consistent with section 1207 of Public Law 113-4, and
directs the Secretary to consult with the Committee prior to
the obligation of funds.
Political Participation.--The Committee directs that funds
appropriated under this and the ESF, DF, CFCF, and INCLE
headings be made available for programs to increase women's
participation in the political process, 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(b) of this act.

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Clean Cookstoves.--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.
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 capacity
building of disabled persons organizations in Latin America and
the Caribbean in order to increase accessibility of people with
disabilities to infrastructure, programs, and systems in
individual countries; and $1,000,000 to develop, support, and
strengthen sports programs for people with disabilities in
developing countries. Funds are to be awarded on a competitive
basis.
The Committee directs that at least 25 percent of USAID
mission funds for disability programs be dispersed in small
grants.
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, mining, logging and other extractive
industries. The Committee directs the Advisor for Indigenous
Peoples Issues to submit a report not later than 180 days after
enactment of this act, on a strategy for carrying out the
responsibilities described in section 699B of Public Law 110-
161.
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.
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 to prevent delay in responding to
humanitarian crises. The Committee expects that other Federal
agencies conducting foreign assistance programs, including for
security sector reform, will utilize vetting procedures similar
to those devised by USAID and the Department of State,
including in Afghanistan.
Patrick Leahy War Victims Fund.--The Committee recommends
$12,000,000 for the LWVF, administered by USAID, which assists
persons who are severely disabled as a result of armed
conflict.
USAID Forward.--The Committee supports funding to implement
USAID Forward initiatives and recommends the President's budget
request for Development Innovation Ventures and USAID's Office
of Science and Technology.
Victims of Torture.--The Committee recommends not less than
$11,700,000 under this heading for programs and activities that
address the needs of victims of torture and trauma resulting
from violent conflict, and support for centers for victims of
torture that provide services consistent with the goals of
Public Law 106-87. An additional $6,500,000 is recommended for
the U.N. Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture under the IO&P
account.
Water and Sanitation.--The Committee recommends not less
than $405,000,000 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 poses 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.
Wheelchairs.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for
wheelchair programs in developing countries, allocated through
an open and competitive process. The Committee supports funding
that provides quality, low-cost wheelchairs that can be
produced and maintained locally using appropriate technologies.
Youth in Development.--The Committee recognizes USAID's
Youth in Development Policy, encourages USAID to name a Youth
Coordinator who can represent youth issues at a high level
within the agency and internationally, and directs the USAID
Administrator to consult with the Committee on how it will
measure effectiveness of the policy.

COUNTRIES

Bangladesh.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State
to prioritize assistance to labor programs in Bangladesh and
recommends $5,000,000 to improve labor conditions in
Bangladesh's readymade garment, shrimp and fish export sectors.
The Committee expects the Department of State and USAID to
provide training for workers on understanding and asserting
their rights, including by improving the capacity of
independent worker organizations. The Department of State,
USAID, and the Department of Labor should coordinate efforts to
avoid unnecessary overlap and work in consultation with the
Government of Bangladesh and the International Labor
Organization on an integrated approach.
Indonesia.--The Committee recommends not less than $350,000
for grants for capacity building of Indonesian human rights
organizations, including in Papua.
Nepal.--The Committee recommends not less than $37,000,000
under this heading 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.
Rwanda and Uganda.--The Committee recommends support for
local and international NGOs to conduct oversight of the trade
in conflict minerals out of Eastern DRC and to strengthen
border controls with the DRC.
The Committee is concerned with the deterioration of
respect for democratic principles in Uganda, including freedom
of expression and assembly. The Committee remains 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 urge the Government of Uganda to promote
transparency in the management of oil revenues and bidding
process, including public disclosure of receipts and
expenditures, consistent with section 7031(b) of this act.
Vietnam.--The Committee recommends $7,000,000 for
assistance for Vietnam under this heading for health/disability
programs in areas sprayed with Agent Orange or otherwise
contaminated by dioxin.

AFRICA

Africa Pilot Programs.--The Committee recognizes that while
nominally Chief Executive Officers, as outlined in the QDDR,
U.S. Ambassadors often exert little influence over how
interagency funds are apportioned or reprogrammed. 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, section 7042(f) of this act establishes
pilot programs under Chief of Mission authority totaling
$15,000,000. A cost matching requirement is included to
leverage support from host governments, multilateral
organizations, and the private sector to the maximum extent
practicable, and funds are made available for oversight
purposes. The Secretary of State is directed to consult with
the Committee on additional parameters of such programs prior
to the obligation of funds.
Counterterrorism in Africa.--The Committee recommends
$53,000,000 in this act for the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism
Partnership program, and $24,000,000 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.
Democratic Republic of the Congo.--The Committee recommends
not less than $25,000,000 to support a strategy to demilitarize
the mining sector in eastern Congo, enhance independent
monitoring of the development of responsible mining and related
supply chains, protect the rights of mine laborers, build local
oversight and regulatory capacity to combat the illicit trade
in minerals, wildlife and other contraband, and assist victims
of sexual violence.
The Committee notes the Peace, Security and Cooperation
Framework signed by the DRC, Rwanda, Uganda, and other
countries, and supports efforts by the U.S. Special Envoy for
the Great Lakes Region to promote implementation of the
framework.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a
report, in classified form if necessary, listing persons
impacted by the visa ban in section 1284 of Public Law 112-239.
Djibouti.--The Committee is concerned with the high
incidence of extreme poverty in Djibouti, a country of
strategic importance to the United States, and directs USAID to
develop and implement a multi-year social, economic, and
democratic development strategy to address the needs of the
people of Djibouti. The Committee directs that not less than
$5,000,000 under this heading be made available for this
purpose and requests to be consulted not later than 90 days
after enactment of this act on the strategy, which should
include methods for measuring and sustaining the effectiveness
of such assistance.
Power Africa.--The Committee supports the President's
budget request for this initiative, which seeks to double
access to power in sub-Saharan Africa.
Somalia.--The Committee notes that despite recent political
and security advances in certain areas of Somalia, the Somali
Federal Government has not implemented provisions in the
Provisional Constitution to promote dialogue and
reconciliation, including establishing a Truth and
Reconciliation Commission and a Human Rights Commission. The
Committee recognizes that peace, stability and prosperity in
Somalia depend on reconciliation and effective governance and
encourages the Department of State to support the SFG in
establishing these two commissions as independent entities. The
Committee is also concerned that key constitutional provisions
for establishing states and resolving disputes between the
central government and the regions have not been implemented.
Special Court for Sierra Leone.--The Committee recognizes
the mandate of the Special Court of Sierra Leone is nearing
completion and the transition to a Residual Special Court is
underway, and recommends not less than $1,700,000 for this
purpose.
Sudan.--The Committee supports funding for Sudanese civil
society groups and political parties working for peaceful
democratic change in that country, including through technical
assistance and capacity building programs.
War Crimes in Central Africa.--The Committee continues to
support efforts by the U.S., U.N., A.U., and governments in
Central Africa to capture Joseph Kony and other top commanders
of the LRA, and to assist victims of the LRA's crimes. The
Committee recommends not less than $10,000,000 to implement
Public Law 111-172, including for programs to improve physical
access, for telecommunications infrastructure and early-warning
mechanisms, and to support the disarmament, demobilization, and
reintegration of former LRA combatants, especially child
soldiers. The Committee recognizes that continued funding for
USAID's ``Secure, Empowered, and Connected Communities''
program may reduce civilian vulnerability to LRA attacks and
increase LRA defections. 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.
Zimbabwe.--The Committee remains concerned with corruption
and repression in Zimbabwe. In accordance with section 7043(m)
of this act, funds may be obligated for assistance for the
central Government of Zimbabwe only if the Secretary of State
certifies that such government has made significant and
sustained progress toward restoration of the rule of law,
respect for property ownership and title, security sector
reform (including accountability for members of security forces
responsible for abuses), and freedom of expression,
association, and assembly.

EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

Burma.--The Committee is encouraged by political and
economic reforms underway in Burma but recognizes that they are
reversible. In order to promote Burma's sustained transition to
a democratic, peaceful, and prosperous country, the Committee
supports increased assistance for Burma, subject to certain
conditions. The Committee expects USAID, following coordination
with other donors, to support microfinance programs that will
promote small and medium agricultural businesses.
The Committee recognizes the important role of civil
society in this transition and directs the Department of State
and USAID to make core support for local NGOs a top priority,
including those formed by democracy activists and former
political prisoners. The Committee directs that DRL shall be
consulted on all democracy programs conducted in Burma prior to
the obligation of funds.
The Committee underscores the need for meaningful
reconciliation between the Government of Burma and ethnic
minorities, and Buddhist and Muslim populations, as a means of
sustaining the transition in Burma. The Committee expects the
Department of State to play a role in reconciliation efforts.
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. Corruption and the continued absence of the rule of
law in Burma hinder prospects for legitimate international
investment and economic progress in that country.
Cambodia.--The Committee is concerned with the political
situation in Cambodia and the lack of political will by the
Government of Cambodia to further democracy, human rights, and
the rule of law. Therefore, assistance for Cambodia is
restricted in this act.
The report required under section 7043(c)(1) of this act
shall include a comprehensive assessment of U.S. assistance for
Cambodia for the past two fiscal years, including a comparative
analysis of the contributions of the Government of Cambodia's
budgetary investment in specific sectors to that of
international donors, and the effectiveness of such assistance
in achieving stated goals and objectives.
For purposes of subsection 7043(c)(4), ``appropriate
redress'' shall include the provision of legal security of
tenure to the 61 families remaining in the Boeung Kak area who
have been excluded from receiving land titles; clear
demarcation of the developer's concession and the area reserved
for the community; and the establishment of livelihood programs
for those forcibly evicted from the Boeung Kak area, in
accordance with the World Bank Policy on Involuntary
Resettlement.
People's Republic of China.--The Committee recommends not
less than $15,000,000 under this heading for U.S. institutions
of higher education and NGOs for democracy, governance, rule of
law, and environment programs in the PRC, to be awarded on a
competitive basis. No funds under the GHP, DA, and ESF headings
may be made available for assistance for the central government
of the PRC, with the exception of funds for programs to detect,
prevent, and treat infectious diseases, pandemics and other
emerging health threats.
Section 7043(e)(3) of this act requires the Secretary of
State, in consultation with the Committee and relevant Federal
agencies, to develop and fund a coordinated diplomacy and
assistance strategy to counter the strategic influence of the
PRC globally, including through the use of international
broadcasting.
Tibet.--The Committee recommends not less than $7,900,000
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 on a competitive basis.
Vietnam.--The Committee recommends not less than
$22,000,000 for analysis and environmental remediation of
dioxin contamination at the Da Nang and Bien Hoa sites, and not
less than $7,000,000 under the DA heading for direct assistance
for disabled persons, disability surveys, and capacity building
in areas that were heavily sprayed with Agent Orange or are
otherwise contaminated with dioxin, for a total of $29,000,000
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. The Committee expects that in
future years the administration will request funds for such
environmental remediation activities under function 050, and
directs the Department of State, in consultation with the
Department of Defense and USAID, to submit, not later than 180
days after enactment of this act, a multi-year strategy to
complete such activities in Vietnam.

EUROPE, EURASIA AND CENTRAL ASIA

Belarus.--The Committee recommends not less than $1,700,000
for additional assistance for Belarus above the President's
budget request, 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.
Democracy Programs.--The Committee recommends $35,000,000
for programs to support democracy and human rights in these
regions under this heading.
Georgia.--The Committee notes that since 2008 the U.S. has
provided over $1,500,000,000 for assistance for Georgia, which
was accompanied by a strengthened commitment by the GoG to
democracy and the rule of law. The Committee is concerned with
the arrests and detentions of political figures in Georgia, and
directs the Department of State to consult with the Committee,
prior to the obligation of funds for assistance for Georgia, on
the GoG's efforts to ensure that the pursuit of justice is
conducted in a fair, transparent, and impartial manner.
Ireland.--The Committee supports the President's budget
request for assistance 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 funding for
programs to address immediate and long-term needs of conflict-
affected populations in the North Caucasus.
Serbia and Kosovo.--The Committee supports the President's
budget request for assistance for Serbia and Kosovo in this act
and encourages continued progress in the implementation of the
April 19, 2013, agreement to resolve disputes in the region.
Turkmenistan.--The Committee remains concerned with the
detention of human rights activists and political leaders in
Turkmenistan, and will weigh such issues when considering
assistance for Turkmenistan.
Ukraine.--The Committee supports funding above the
President's budget request for programs to ensure competitive
and transparent elections in Ukraine, including through poll
watching activities, and directs the Secretary of State to
submit a democracy promotion strategy for Ukraine not later
than 180 days after enactment of this act.

NEAR EAST

Bahrain.--The Committee recommends not less than $3,000,000
to support democracy and governance activities in Bahrain.
Lebanon.--The Committee recommends that of the assistance
appropriated under this heading for Lebanon, $12,000,000 be
made available 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 pay as much of the cost of
the education as possible in order to share the commitment to
the future of Lebanon and to maximize the number of students
who are assisted. 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.
Libya.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State to
report to the Committee that the central Government of Libya is
cooperating with U.S. efforts to investigate and bring to
justice those responsible for the attack on U.S. facilities and
personnel in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, prior to the
obligations of funds for assistance for such government.
MEPI, OMEP and MERC.--The Committee recommends the
President's budget request for MEPI and for OMEP under this
heading, and the fiscal year 2012 level for MERC.
Tunisia.--The Committee recommends the President's budget
request for assistance for Tunisia in this act.
West Bank.--The Committee recommends the President's budget
request for assistance for the West Bank in this act. The
Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report to
the Committee prior to the initial obligation of funds
detailing and assessing the capabilities of key Palestinian
Authority and security services officials to manage and conduct
effective oversight of U.S. assistance.
Yemen.--The Committee recommends the President's budget
request for assistance for Yemen in this act.

WESTERN HEMISPHERE

Colombia.--The Committee recommends not less than
$141,500,000 apportioned directly to USAID for alternative
development/institution building and local governance programs
in Colombia, including $6,500,000 for human rights activities.
The Committee directs that if a peace agreement is signed
ending the armed conflict in Colombia, the Department of State,
USAID and other relevant Federal agencies shall review U.S.
assistance programs for Colombia and redirect funds
appropriated under this heading and the INCLE and FMF headings
to support the implementation of such agreement, particularly
relating to demobilization and reintegration of former
combatants, demining, transitional justice, victims
reparations, the recuperation of communities most affected by
violence, and the recovery and productive use of land in former
conflict zones.
The Committee recommends not less than $15,000,000 for
Afro-Colombian and indigenous communities for projects
developed in consultation with such communities, many of which
have experienced increases in violence, including
assassinations of social activists, poverty and displacement.
The Committee is concerned with the rapid expansion of
government sanctioned, as well as illegal, mining operations in
or adjacent to these communities. The Committee directs the
Department of State and USAID to work with the Government of
Colombia to address these issues as a priority, and requests to
be informed of any multilateral development bank financing
proposed for mining operations in Colombia.
The Committee recommends not less than $3,000,000 for
biodiversity conservation programs, including for the Colombian
National Park Service.
The Committee recommends $500,000 for community-based
programs to address the needs of civilians disabled by
landmines and other causes related to the violence.
Haiti.--The Committee 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 U.S. programs and
plans.
The Committee urges the Secretary of State to regularize
the management and oversight of U.S. policy toward Haiti within
the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs.
The Committee requests the Secretary of State to continue
to submit the report on supplemental assistance for Haiti
required by Chapter 10, section 1003(b) of Public Law 111-212
every 180 days until such funds are expended, as recommended in
GAO's ``Haiti Reconstruction'' report (GAO-13-558), and to post
the report on the Department of State's Web site. The Committee
further requests the Secretary, in consultation with the USAID
Administrator, to include in the report a description of:
--the amounts disbursed and any significant changes to the
Haiti Rebuilding and Development Strategy since January
2010, with an explanation of such changes;
--the amounts obligated and expended on U.S. Government
programs and activities since January 2010 to implement
the Strategy, including grants, contracts, and
disbursement data;
--the goals and quantitative and qualitative indicators to
evaluate progress within specific timeframes, and an
assessment of the extent to which such goals have been
achieved;
--a description of the manner in which Haitian civil society
organizations are consulted on the establishment of
goals and timeframes and on the design and
implementation of programs under the Strategy;
--a description of efforts to increase involvement of the
private sector in Haiti in recovery and development
activities;
--a description of how the needs of vulnerable populations,
including internally displaced persons, women,
children, orphans, and persons with disabilities, have
been addressed in the design and implementation of new
programs and infrastructure;
--an assessment of the impact of agriculture and
infrastructure programs on food security and the
livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Haiti; and
--a description of methods for communicating the progress of
recovery and development efforts to people in Haiti.
Report.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State, in
consultation with the heads of other relevant Federal agencies,
to submit to the appropriate congressional committees not later
than 180 days after enactment of this act a report on the
importance of the 1977 bilateral agreement with Canada for the
reconstruction of Canadian portions of the Alaska Highway to
U.S. economic and energy interests.

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Arms Trade Treaty.--The Committee does not support the use
of funds in this act to implement the Arms Trade Treaty, for
which no funds were included in the President's budget request.
Conflict Diamonds.--The Committee supports funding to
implement programs to prevent diamonds from fueling conflict in
Central Africa. The Committee is concerned 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.
Direct Government-to-Government Assistance.--The Committee
clarifies, in section 7031(a) of this act, the application of
the notification requirement 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 unless
future year obligations result in a cumulative value in excess
of $10,000,000 and the program was not notified prior to the
initial obligation of funds.
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.--The
Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the EITI including to
strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations to
participate in the EITI process.
Institutions of Higher Education.--The Committee supports
continued funding of institutions of higher education in the
Middle East and South Asia, including through the funds made
available by title VIII of this act.
International Child Abductions.--The Committee remains
concerned with the failure of certain governments to comply
with Federal and State court orders concerning child custody
and visitation or with the Convention on the Civil Aspects of
International Child Abduction (done at The Hague on October 25,
1980).
Media Programs.--The Committee recommends funding under
this and the DF heading for Department of State and USAID
programs which support the development of independent media,
including in Burma, Afghanistan, and Pakistan and through radio
broadcasting.
Reconciliation Programs.--The Committee recommends a total
of $26,000,000 under this heading and the DA heading 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. Funds should be leveraged to secure
contributions from other donors to the maximum extent
practicable.
The Committee recommends funding for the ``New Generation
in the Middle East'' initiative to build understanding,
tolerance, and mutual respect among the next generation of
Israeli and Palestinian leaders.
Rule of Law.--The Committee recognizes that the rule of law
is fundamental to promoting democracy and sustaining
development, including by strengthening independent
judiciaries, protecting human rights, combating human
trafficking and corruption, and increasing public
accountability and access to justice. The Committee directs
continued support for such programs that advance the rule of
law worldwide.
Scholar Rescue.--The Committee includes in section 7032(c)
authority to use funds appropriated by this act for programs to
rescue scholars from countries denying freedom of expression,
and the Committee's expectation is that such scholars would
leave their country only temporarily and return home when
conditions permit.
Report.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State to
submit a report, not later than 180 days after enactment of
this act, detailing how U.S. foreign assistance made available
by this act incorporates the furtherance of religious freedom
for countries identified in the Annual Report of the U.S.
Commission on International Religious Freedom (April 2013) as
tiers 1 and 2. The report should assess the effectiveness of
programs supported by the Department of State and USAID that
directly and indirectly further religious freedom abroad,
including through the development of institutions and
implementation of legal reforms.

MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA INCENTIVE FUND

Appropriations, 2013....................................................
Budget estimate, 2014................................... $580,000,000
Committee recommendation\1\.............................................

\1\The Committee does not recommend an appropriation for the Middle East
and North Africa Incentive Fund.

The Committee does not recommend funding for Middle East
and North Africa Incentive Fund. Instead, the Committee
recommends funding under the Complex Foreign Crises Fund to
respond to political transitions in the Middle East and North
Africa, among other purposes.

DEMOCRACY FUND

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $114,733,000
Budget estimate, 2014...................................................
Committee recommendation................................ 130,500,000

\1\The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public
Law 113-6 but does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in
Public Law 112-25.

The Committee recommends $130,500,000 for Democracy Fund,
of which $70,500,000 is for DRL's Human Rights and Democracy
Fund and $60,000,000 is for USAID's Center of Excellence for
Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance. The Committee notes
that the increase for the HRDF above the President's budget
request is offset by an equivalent decrease in the request for
democracy programs.
The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary for DRL to
consult with the Committee on the proposed allocation of funds
within the HRDF prior to the initial obligation of funds.
Coordination.--The Committee recognizes challenges in
implementing democracy and human rights programs overseas, and
that improved coordination and communication between DRL,
USAID's Center, and the 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.
Democracy Promotion and Security Requirements.--The
Committee notes the often unanticipated high costs associated
with security of property and personnel in countries in
conflict and transition, and that with respect to Iraq and
Afghanistan both the Department of State and USAID have not
provided clear and consistent guidance to democracy grantees
regarding such costs and methods of allocation and accounting
regarding such costs. The Committee directs the Secretary of
State and USAID Administrator to improve such guidance to
grantees in conflict and transitional countries, and to develop
prompt and transparent dispute resolution mechanisms for
democracy grantees. The Committee notes that democracy grantees
must continue to have flexibility in determining their security
needs. The Committee is concerned that the failure to
adequately address these issues may hinder the interest and
ability of democracy grantees to respond to political openings
elsewhere with support from the Department of State or USAID.
Forensic Assistance.--The Committee recommends not less
than $2,500,000 for forensic anthropology programs in Central
and South America, including Guatemala and Peru, 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.
Journalists.--The Committee notes that journalists and
social and labor rights activists in Ecuador, Mexico, Honduras,
and other Central and South American countries have been
threatened and assassinated, and recommends increased support
for programs to protect them.
Labor Rights.--The Committee encourages DRL to continue to
promote labor rights as a means of advancing American interests
and values. DRL and USAID's Center should continue to support
economic reforms that promote safe working conditions and
include working people in decisions that affect their jobs.
USAID should continue to fund its global labor strengthening
programs.
Prison Conditions.--The Committee recommends not less than
$15,000,000 under this heading to eliminate inhumane prison
conditions. The Committee is aware that millions of people
suffer inhumane conditions in prisons and other detention
facilities in developing countries that are overcrowded,
unsanitary, and unsafe. Eliminating such conditions would
strengthen the rule of law, protect human rights, and save
lives.
Repressive Environments.--The Committee requests the
Secretary of State, in consultation with the USAID
Administrator, as appropriate, to consult with the Committee on
governance programs conducted in countries in which the central
government acts in a manner contrary democratic principles. The
Committee encourages the Department of State and USAID to have
contingency plans for such events that include rapid assessment
and response mechanisms, and targeted support for only those
institutions or individuals within the government and civil
society that demonstrate a commitment to democracy, after such
an event occurs.
Sudan.--The Committee encourages DRL to support democracy
and human rights programs in Sudan.

Enduring operations................................. 1,387,000,000
Overseas contingency operations\2\.................. 1,513,000,000

The Committee recommends $1,387,000,000 for Migration and
Refugee Assistance. An additional $1,513,000,000 in title VIII
under this heading is designated for OCO.
Colombia.--The Committee recommends funding under this
heading at not less than the fiscal year 2013 level for
Colombian IDPs and refugees.
Iraq.--The Committee expects the administration to make
every effort to expedite refugee resettlement of the most
vulnerable Iraqis and maximize the use of Special Immigrant
Visa processing while maintaining an effective screening
process. The Committee is also concerned that many Iraqis
remain displaced and in need of assistance.
Israel.--The Committee recommends $15,000,000 from this act
and prior acts for refugee resettlement in Israel, to be
awarded through a competitive process.
North Korea.--The Committee supports assistance for North
Korean refugees, including in the PRC. The Committee condemns
the forced repatriation of North Korean refugees, and supports
the involvement of UNHCR and other international humanitarian
agencies in protecting the rights of such refugees.
Protracted Refugee Situations and Report.--The Committee
recognizes that growing refugee populations, including Burmese,
Somalis, Sudanese, Afghans, Bhutanese, Palestinians, and others
have been unable to return home for generations, and continue
to require international assistance. The Committee directs the
Secretary of State to fulfill the reporting requirement
relating to UNRWA under the ``Protracted Refugee Situations''
subheading in Senate Report 112-172.
Syria.--The Committee urges the Department of State and
USAID to continue working with humanitarian organizations,
other donor nations, the United Nations, and Syria's neighbors
to keep borders open to Syrians fleeing violence, provide
access to basic services, and ensure their freedom of movement.
The Committee supports sufficient funding to address the
humanitarian needs of Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq,
and Turkey, particularly of the most vulnerable people,
including persons with disabilities. Assistance should be
identified as originating from the American people whenever
possible, unless such identification jeopardizes the safety of
implementers or recipients of such assistance.
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 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, 2013\1\................................. $27,191,000
Budget estimate, 2014................................... 250,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 50,000,000

\1\The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public
Law 113-6 but does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in
Public Law 112-25.

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

COMPLEX FOREIGN CRISES FUND

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2013....................................................
Budget estimate, 2014...................................................
Committee recommendation................................ $575,000,000
Enduring operations................................. 40,000,000
Overseas contingency operations\1\.................. 535,000,000

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

The Committee recommends $40,000,000 for Complex Foreign
Crises Fund. An additional $535,000,000 in title VIII under
this heading is designated for OCO.
This account is a modification of the previously existing
Complex Crises Fund, and incorporates certain authorities
contained in the President's budget request under the Middle
East and North Africa Incentive Fund proposal, including for
loan guarantees and enterprise funds for Jordan, Tunisia, and
Egypt. The CFCF provides the Secretary of State with the
necessary flexibility to respond to complex foreign crises and
political transitions in the Middle East and North Africa.

Independent Agencies

PEACE CORPS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $374,880,000
Budget estimate, 2014................................... 378,800,000
Committee recommendation................................ 385,000,000

\1\The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public
Law 113-6 but does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in
Public Law 112-25.

The Committee recommends $385,000,000 for Peace Corps.
The Committee includes a cap on Peace Corps representation
expenses of $104,000, and within this amount limits domestic
representation expenses to $4,000.
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 consult with the Committee 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.
While this act continues language prohibiting the use of
funds to pay for abortions, an exception is included consistent
with section 614 of division C of Public Law 112-74, as
proposed in the President's budget request.
The Peace Corps Director is directed to submit a spend 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, 2013\1\................................. $897,913,000
Budget estimate, 2014................................... 898,200,000
Committee recommendation................................ 899,000,000

\1\The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public
Law 113-6 but does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in
Public Law 112-25.

The Committee recommends $899,000,000 for Millennium
Challenge Corporation.
The Committee is concerned that the MCC's methodology for
evaluating eligibility of prospective compact countries under
the Control of Corruption indicator may not be sufficiently
timely or effective. The Committee directs the MCC to more
closely coordinate evaluation of corruption in candidate
countries with relevant offices at the Departments of State
(including DRL), Treasury, and Commerce. The Committee is
concerned that the MCC has proposed second compacts and
threshold programs in countries where corruption permeates
public institutions, such as Honduras and El Salvador, and that
second compacts have been approved in countries that have
received large amounts of other U.S. bilateral and multilateral
assistance, such as Georgia. The Committee requires that 609(g)
funding is subject to the regular notification procedures of
the Committees on Appropriations, threshold programs for
countries that have received a compact are prohibited, and that
to be eligible for a second compact a country must have
significantly improved its score under the Control of
Corruption indicator.
The Committee notes that legal difficulties in contract
enforcement faced by private investors in certain compact
countries indicates weak rule of law and pervasive corruption
in those countries.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State, the USAID
Administrator, and the MCC CEO to jointly assess and report on
the extent to which compacts are aligned with U.S. strategic
interests on a regional basis and with other U.S. 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.

TITLE IV

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ASSISTANCE

Department of State

International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $2,044,365,000
Enduring operations................................. 1,060,760,000
Overseas contingency operations\2\.................. 983,605,000

Committee recommendation................................ 1,131,500,000
Enduring operations................................. 1,025,000,000
Overseas contingency operations\2\.................. 106,500,000

The Committee recommends $1,025,000,000 for International
Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement. An additional
$106,500,000 in title VIII under this heading is designated for
OCO.
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 supports the goals of CARSI and
CBSI to address narcotics-related violence and corruption in
Central America, through law enforcement reform and economic
and social programs that provide alternatives to gangs. The
Committee is concerned that corrupt and abusive police and
military forces, impunity, and a lack of political will to
address these problems have limited the effectiveness of these
efforts. CARSI and CBSI funds should be made available for
assistance only for governments that demonstrate a commitment
to punishing corruption and reforming their security forces.
Colombia.--The Committee recommends $149,000,000 for
assistance for Colombia, including not less than $10,000,000
for the human rights unit of the Office of the Attorney
General, to be administered by the Department of State.
The Committee is aware of concerns with the effects of
glyphosate-based herbicides on the environment and human
health. The Committee requires the Secretary of State to
certify, prior to the obligation of funds, that the toxic
chemicals sprayed do not pose unreasonable risks or adverse
effects to humans, especially pregnant women and children, or
the environment, including endemic species. In assessing the
risks of aerial spraying of chemical herbicides to humans and
the environment, the Secretary of State shall consult with the
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and the
Secretary of Health and Human Services. As in past years, funds
may not be used for aerial spraying in Colombia's national
parks or reserves unless the Secretary of State reports in
writing, 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
7083 of this act 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.
The Committee notes that 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. The Committee encourages 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 did not include
express authority for a Federal court to provide a stay of
execution to consider a petition for review under this section
because Federal courts already have such statutory authority.
The Committee took steps to ensure the expeditious review
of petitions and to conserve judicial resources. 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. In order to ensure the prompt
resolution of these cases, the Committee included a 1-year time
limitation on Federal court review from the date a petition is
filed.
Demand Reduction.--The Committee supports the budget
request for the Demand Reduction Program.
Guatemala.--The Committee recommends up to $5,000,000 for
the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala, but
requests to be consulted before funds are obligated.
The Committee encourages USAID and the Department of State
to give priority to strengthening the capacity of tribunals of
high risk in Guatemala which handle cases involving organized
crime, narco-trafficking, violations of human rights, money
laundering, and other such crimes that threaten peace and
security.
International Law Enforcement Academies.--The Committee
recommends $31,300,000 for the ILEAs.
Mexico.--The Committee supports the prioritization of
reform of national, state, and local judicial institutions and
police forces, and cooperation between the United States and
Mexico to combat organized crime and drug trafficking along the
border.
Rule of Law Programs.--The Committee directs that
$3,000,000 be made available for coordination of rule of law
programs, and that such programs shall be awarded on a
competitive basis. The Committee expects overhead costs for
such programs to be reasonable, and that funds will be matched,
to the maximum extent practicable, by sources other than the
U.S. Government.
The Committee notes that fair and transparent justice
systems are critical components to improve the rule of law and
the administration of justice, particularly in countries
confronting organized crime and drug trafficking. The Committee
directs that funds be made available to continue programs that
strengthen and promote independent judiciaries to advance the
rule of law worldwide.
Trafficking in Persons.--The Committee supports DRL's
efforts to combat human trafficking and exploitative labor
practices overseas.

\1\ The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public
Law 113-6 but does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in
Public Law 112-25.

The Committee recommends $700,000,000 for Nonproliferation,
Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs.
Funds in this account are allocated, unless otherwise
noted, according to the following table, and are subject to the

Syria.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State to
consult with the Committee prior to obligating funds for
programs in Syria.
UXO Clearance.--The Committee is aware that the Department
of State is developing a multi-year strategy for UXO clearance
in Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands. The Committee
supports funds to implement the strategy, 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 $12,000,000 be made available for
UXO clearance in Laos.

The Committee recommends $250,900,000 for Peacekeeping
Operations. An additional $138,600,000 in title VIII under this
heading is designated for OCO.
MFO.--The Committee recommends $36,000,000 for the
Multinational Force and Observers mission in the Sinai,
including $8,000,000 to address force protection enhancements.
Global Peacekeeping Operations Initiative.--The Committee
notes that the budget request for GPOI represents the final
year of the second phase of that initiative, which seeks to
train and equip international peacekeepers to participate in
missions abroad. The Committee encourages the Department of
State to continue to work with other donors to share the costs
of such activities, and to coordinate with relevant
multilateral organizations, and on a bilateral basis, to
establish financial models that use the proceeds from
participation in peacekeeping missions to sustain training
efforts. The Committee does not endorse the use of GPOI funds
for construction of infrastructure, the costs of which should
be the responsibility of respective foreign governments. The
Committee expects to be consulted prior to any initiation of a
third phase of this initiative.

Funds Appropriated to the President

INTERNATIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $105,754,000
Budget estimate, 2014................................... 105,573,000
Committee recommendation................................ 105,000,000

\1\The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public
Law 113-6, but does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in
Public Law 112-25.

The Committee recommends $105,000,000 for International
Military Education and Training.
The Committee is concerned that IMET representation
expenses have been used for such items as ball caps, coins, and
tote bags, and directs the Secretary of State to eliminate
expenditures for these types of items.
Analysis and Report.--The Committee directs the Secretary
of State, following consultation with the Committee, to conduct
an analysis of IMET's effectiveness in promoting respect for
human rights among military officers from countries with a
history of human rights violations and in establishing enduring
relationships with U.S. military and civilian personnel. The
analysis should include a review of relevant GAO and human
rights reports, and consultation with the Department of
Defense.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to provide,
not later than 45 days after enactment of this act, a report on
the proposed uses of funds under this heading on a country
basis, including a detailed description of proposed activities.
Saudi Arabia.--The Committee is concerned with the
continued detention of blogger and journalist Hamza Kashgari,
who was arrested in February 2012 and remains in detention.
Training Report.--The Committee notes that the report on
foreign military training required by section 656 of the FAA is
to include the units of operation of military personnel who
receive training. The Committee intends that such units should
be specified at the battalion or equivalent level.

FOREIGN MILITARY FINANCING PROGRAM

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $6,310,333,000
Enduring operations................................. 5,208,333,000
Overseas contingency operations\2\.................. 1,102,000,000
Budget estimate, 2014................................... 5,956,959,000

Committee recommendation................................ 5,865,000,000
Enduring operations................................. 5,365,000,000
Overseas contingency operations\2\.................. 500,000,000

The Committee recommends $5,365,000,000 for Foreign
Military Financing Program. An additional $500,000,000 in title
VIII under this heading is designated for OCO.
Bahrain.--The Committee notes the importance of Bahrain to
the security interests of the United States and allies in the
region. However, the Committee is concerned that actions by the
Government of Bahrain to limit freedom of expression,
association and assembly, and reports of excessive force,
unfair trials, and mistreatment of prisoners could have
negative consequences for U.S. interests in Bahrain. The
Committee is also concerned with acts of violence against the
government by some protestors. The Committee notes that some of
the most important reforms recommended by the Bahrain
Independent Commission of Inquiry have not been implemented.
The Committee intends that no crowd control items shall be
provided to Bahrain during fiscal year 2014, and notes that
none are included in the President's budget request. The
Committee directs that the report required by section 7010 of
this act shall include a description of any such items provided
to foreign security forces.
Colombia.--The Committee is concerned with constitutional
reforms which may result in impunity for crimes against
humanity and the transfer of crimes such as ``false positives''
from civilian prosecutors to military jurisdiction, which lacks
independence.
The Committee recommends assistance under this heading for
Colombia in accordance with the requirements of section
7044(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:
--cases involving members of the Colombian military who have
been credibly alleged to have violated human rights, or
to have aided, abetted or benefitted from criminal or
illegal armed groups are subject only to civilian
jurisdiction during investigation and prosecution, and
the Colombian military is not opposing civilian
jurisdiction in such cases and is cooperating with
civilian prosecutors and judicial authorities;
--the Government of Colombia is not providing immunity from
prosecution or the suspension of sentences for persons
responsible for crimes against humanity, war crimes, or
other gross violations of human rights; and
--the Colombian military is respecting the rights and
territory of indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities.
Crowd Control Items.--The Committee is concerned with
reports that foreign security forces have used U.S.-
manufactured crowd control items, such as tear gas, small arms,
light weapons, and ammunition to repress peaceful expression in
countries undergoing democratic transition. Section 7034(i) of
this act addresses this matter. The Committee notes that
section 620M of the FAA prohibits such assistance to any unit
of a foreign security force that has committed a gross
violation of human rights.
Ethiopia.--The Committee notes the Government of Ethiopia's
efforts to address security and stability in the region, but is
concerned with the use of anti-terrorism laws to imprison
journalists, political opponents, and others calling for free
and fair elections and political and human rights. The
Committee urges the Departments of State and Defense to apply a
consistent policy to engagement with the Ethiopian military and
police, to help ensure the protection of these rights.
Guatemala.--The Committee is concerned with the failure of
the Government of Guatemala to implement the Reparations Plan
for Damages Suffered by the Communities Affected by the
Construction of the Chixoy Hydroelectric Dam (April 2010).
Section 7044(c) of this act restricts assistance for the
Guatemalan army and requires a certification by the Secretary
of State. Funds appropriated under this heading may be
obligated for assistance for the Guatemalan army only if the
Secretary of State also certifies that the army:
--has a narrowly defined mission focused on border security
and external threats, and a credible plan to end the
army's involvement in internal law enforcement;
--is cooperating with civilian investigations and
prosecutions of human rights cases involving current
and retired military officers, 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 notes that Department of State and U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services have worked with the
Government of Guatemala [GOG] to develop a complete list of
transition adoption cases involving Guatemalan children and
American adoptive parents pending since December 31, 2007, as
well as a legal and transparent progress for bringing these
cases to a close. The Committee is concerned that approximately
90 transition adoption cases on this list remain unresolved and
that meanwhile these children have been stranded in orphanages.
Section 7044(c)(2) of this act restricts assistance for the
Guatemalan armed forces until the Secretary of State certifies
to the Committees on Appropriations that these adoption cases
have been resolved or that the GoG is making significant
progress toward meeting a specific timetable for resolving such
cases. In determining that these cases have been resolved, the
Secretary shall consult with the Director of USCIS.
Honduras.--The Committee is concerned with violence and
corruption in Honduras involving drug-traffickers, other
criminal organizations, large landowners, peasant groups,
militias, and Honduran police and military forces.
Assassinations of human rights defenders, journalists, and
social activists are common and rarely result in prosecutions.
In accordance with section 7044(e) of this act, funds may be
obligated for assistance for the Honduran army and police only
if the Secretary of State certifies that:
--the Government of Honduras is reducing corruption including
by prosecuting corrupt officials and removing them from
office;
--agreements between the United States and Honduras
concerning counter-narcotics operations, including
assistance for innocent victims of such operations, are
being implemented;
--the Government of Honduras is protecting freedom of
expression, association, and assembly, and due process
of law, including in the Bajo Aguan Valley;
--the Government of Honduras is investigating and prosecuting
in the civilian justice system army and police
personnel who are credibly alleged to have violated
human rights, including forced evictions, or to have
aided or abetted other armed groups involved in such
acts; and
--the Honduran military and police are cooperating with
civilian judicial authorities in such cases.
Indonesia.--The Committee notes the progress the Government
of Indonesia is making in strengthening democracy, but military
reform, particularly accountability for past crimes, lags
behind.
The Secretary of State shall submit a report on steps taken
by the Government of Indonesia, including the military, during
the previous 12 months to:
--deny promotion, suspend from active service, and/or
prosecute and punish military officers who have
violated human rights, and to refine further the
military's mission and develop an appropriate defense
budget to carry out that mission;
--cooperate with civilian judicial authorities to resolve
cases of violations of human rights;
--implement reforms that increase the transparency and
accountability of the military's budget and operations,
and achieve divestment of military businesses; and
--allow unimpeded access to Papua, respect due process and
freedom of expression, association, and assembly in
Papua, and release Papuans and Moluccans imprisoned for
peaceful political activity.
Mexico.--The Committee supports joint U.S.-Mexican efforts
to address drug trafficking and other organized crime and
corruption in Mexico, and remains concerned with impunity among
Mexican military and police forces for violations of human
rights. In accordance with section 7044(f) of this act, 15
percent of the funds under the INCLE and FMF headings that are
available for assistance for the Mexican army and police may be
obligated only if the Secretary of State reports in writing
that:
--the Government of Mexico has reformed the military justice
system to require that military 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;
--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; and
--the Government of Mexico is searching for the victims of
enforced and involuntary disappearances and prosecuting
those responsible for such crimes.
Middle East.--The Committee recommends the President's
budget requests under this heading for Israel and Jordan.
Morocco.--The Committee notes that Morocco is a strategic
ally in North Africa where the United States has an interest in
preventing terrorism and promoting democracy. The Committee
directs the Secretary of State to update the report required by
section 7041(g) of division I of Public Law 112-74, including
on steps taken during the previous 12 months by the Government
of Morocco to release political prisoners and support a human
rights monitoring and reporting role for the U.N. Mission in
Western Sahara in cooperation with the Office of the U.N. High
Commissioner for Human Rights.
Nepal.--The Committee notes that the Government of Nepal is
making progress in integrating former rebel combatants into the
Nepal army, and that further progress in military reform is
needed. The Committee is concerned that, despite numerous
violations of human rights and the laws of war during the
period 1995 to 2005, the Nepal army continues to shield itself
from punishment and has promoted officers implicated in such
crimes.
Nigeria.--The Committee notes the contributions of the
Nigerian military to international peacekeeping and in
countering Boko Haram extremists, but is concerned with reports
of abuses by army personnel in Baga, Northern Nigeria. The
Secretary of State shall submit a report detailing the steps
taken by the Government of Nigeria to:
--support an impartial investigation into the violence in
Baga by providing the National Human Rights Commission
unimpeded access to Baga, members of the local
community, and relevant military officials; and
--prosecute those implicated in extra-judicial killings and
destruction of property in Baga.
Philippines.--The Committee recommends assistance under
this heading for the Philippines which the Committee
understands is primarily to enhance maritime security. The
Committee notes that the Government of the Philippines has
stated that it is taking steps to reduce extra-judicial
executions by military officers and militias, but new cases
have been reported and impunity for these crimes continues. In
accordance with section 7043(f) of this act, funds may be
obligated for assistance for the Philippine army only if the
Secretary of State reports in writing that:
--the GoP is prosecuting those responsible for EJEs and
forced disappearances and strengthening government
institutions working to eliminate such crimes;
--the GoP is implementing a policy of promoting army
personnel who demonstrate professionalism and respect
for human rights, and is investigating, prosecuting,
and punishing army personnel and others who have been
credibly alleged to have violated such rights; and
--the Philippine army and paramilitary groups under its
control are not engaging in acts of violence or
intimidation against journalists or members of legal
organizations and indigenous communities who advocate
for human rights.
Security Sector Reform.--The Committee directs that funds
appropriated by this act for security sector reform shall be
implemented in a manner consistent with the roles,
responsibilities and guiding principles of the February 2009
``Security Sector Reform'' paper prepared jointly by USAID, the
Department of Defense, and the Department of State.
Somalia.--The Committee does not recommend lethal
assistance for the Somali security forces and notes that none
was included in the President's budget request. The Committee
supports reform of Somali security forces to ensure they are
clan and regionally representative; demonstrate a commitment to
respect human rights and the rule of law; have a clear command
and control structure; and do not permit child soldiers.
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
7045(e) of this act, the Secretary of State certifies that the
Government of Sri Lanka is:
--conducting credible, thorough investigations of 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 U.N. investigation of
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.
Uzbekistan.--The Committee notes the cooperation of the
Government of Uzbekistan in the transport of supplies and
equipment in and out of Afghanistan. The Committee is aware,
however, that the GoU continues to repress its own citizens,
and urges the Department of State to use its influence with 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
expression and of the media, implement conventions against
child labor, and fully align its election processes with OSCE
guidelines.

Organizations and Programs.
Organization of American States.--The Committee recognizes
the essential role of the IACHR in providing justice for
victims of human rights violations and protecting basic
freedoms in many Latin American countries whose justice systems
are weak and influenced by corruption. The Committee recommends
$2,000,000 for a U.S. voluntary contribution to the IACHR, of
which not less than $500,000 is for the Office of the Special
Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression. The Committee is
concerned with actions by some governments in the region to
curtail freedom of the press, and supports efforts of the
Special Rapporteur to defend the rights of journalists.
United Nations.--The Committee directs the Secretary of
State to post U.S. voluntary contributions under this heading
which are provided to the U.N. and its affiliated agencies on
the Department of State's Web site in a timely manner, and the
first such posting should include funding detail for fiscal
year 2013.
The Committee recommends $5,500,000 for a U.S. voluntary
contribution to the UNHCHR, of which $1,000,000 is to support a
UNHCHR office in Honduras, $500,000 is to support the UNHCHR
office in Colombia, and $500,000 is to support the UNHCHR
office in Mexico.
The Committee notes that no funds are provided under this

The Committee recommends $1,358,500,000 for Contribution to
the International Development Association. In addition, the
Committee recommends $145,300,000 for payment to the
Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative.
The Committee notes that the World Bank is reviewing its
environmental and social safeguard policies. The Committee
supports mandatory, enforceable requirements to maximize
development results, and as the Committee considers a U.S.
contribution to IDA 17 it will assess the Bank's progress in
adopting effective safeguard policies. Such policies should
require for all Bank actions (including policy and program
based lending, borrower systems, country assistance strategies,
and public private partnerships) public availability of an
assessment of environmental, social and human rights impacts at
least 120 days prior to Board consideration of any proposed
action which could have a significant environmental, social or
human rights impact.
The Committee is concerned with the impact of Bank actions
on indigenous peoples. The Committee also notes that the World
Bank's current safeguard policies do not expressly address the
special needs of persons with disabilities and children at risk
of exploitative labor. The Committee directs the Secretary of
the Treasury to seek protections to prevent children from being
exploited economically and to promote access for people with
disabilities during the Bank's safeguard policy review.

\2\Rescinds funding appropriated in the Supplemental Appropriations Act

The Committee recommends $315,000,000 to increase the U.S.
quota by 40,871,800,000 Special Drawing Rights, and rescinds
$1,200,000,000 from funds appropriated in Public Law 111-32 to

NAB will not change the overall U.S. commitment to the IMF.

in the U.S. participation in the NAB, the United States to
accept an amendment to the IMF Articles of Agreement that will
change the composition of the IMF Executive Board while
preserving the U.S. seat on the Board, and the increase in SDRs

\1\The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public
Law 113-6 but does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in
Public Law 112-25.

The Committee recommends $5,100,000 for the Inspector
General and $125,000,000 for Administrative Expenses for the
Export-Import Bank of the United States, including $7,000,000
to increase small business financing, $1,000,000 to support

revised policy on the use of representation funds that is
consistent with section 7020(a) of this act. The Committee
includes a provision under the Program Account heading
directing that not less than 20 percent of the aggregate loan,

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 section 7020(a) of this act.
The Committee supports the implementation of a memorandum
of understanding between OPIC and the USAID OIG, notes that an
agreement for fiscal year 2013 was implemented, and directs the
President of OPIC to implement a fiscal year 2014 agreement,
including an inspection/audit plan, as authorized, and allocate
adequate funding to support the mutually agreed upon plan in
fiscal year 2014 to reimburse the USAID OIG for costs related
to oversight and audit functions.
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 role of this office in
light of the 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.
The Committee encourages OPIC to use its existing budget
and statutory authorities to support small businesses and
cooperatives in connection with OPIC's overseas cooperative
development programs. Such programs shall include food
security, credit, housing, agribusiness, technology transfer,
rural telecommunications and electrification, private
enterprise development, and healthcare.
