                                FOREWORD

                              ----------                              

    This volume of legislation and related material is part of 
a five volume set of laws and related material frequently 
referred to by the Committees on Foreign Relations of the 
Senate and International Relations of the House of 
Representatives, amended to date and annotated to show 
pertinent history or cross references.
    Volumes I (A and B), II, III and IV contain legislation and 
related material and are republished with amendments and 
additions at the end of each annual session of Congress. Volume 
V, which contains treaties and related material, is revised 
periodically.
    We wish to express our appreciation to Dianne E. Rennack 
and C. Winston Woodland of the Foreign Affairs, Defense, and 
Trade Division of the Congressional Research Service of the 
Library of Congress who prepared volume I-A of this year's 
compilation.
                                           Henry J. Hyde,
                    Chairman, Committee on International Relations.
                                           Jesse Helms,
                          Chairman, Committee on Foreign Relations.

                            EXPLANATORY NOTE

                              ----------                              

    The body of statutory law set out in this volume was in 
force, as amended, at the end of 2000.
    This volume sets out ``session law'' as originally enacted 
by Congress and published by the Archivist of the United States 
as ``slip law'' and later in the series United States Statutes 
at Large (as subsequently amended, if applicable). Amendments 
are incorporated into the text and distinguished by a footnote. 
Session law is organized in this series by subject matter in a 
manner designed to meet the needs of the Congress.
    Although laws enacted by Congress in the area of foreign 
relations are also codified by the Law Revision Counsel of the 
House of Representatives, typically in title 22 United States 
Code, those codifications are not positive law and are not, in 
most instances, the basis of further amendment by the Congress. 
Cross references to the United States Code are included as 
footnotes for the convenience of the reader.
    All Executive orders and State Department delegations of 
authority are codified and in force as of January 15, 2001.
    Corrections may be sent to Dianne Rennack at Library of 
Congress, Congressional Research Service, Washington D.C., 
20540-7460, or by electronic mail at drennack@crs.loc.gov.

    * Note.--The Foreign Assistance Act will be referred to as the FA 
Act and ``this Act.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

AN ACT To promote the foreign policy, security, and general welfare of 
 the United States by assisting peoples of the world in their efforts 
toward economic development and internal and external security, and for 
                            other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this 
Act may be cited as ``The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.'' \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ The short title was added by sec. 111 of the FA Appropriation 
Act, 1962.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                 PART I

      Chapter 1--Policy; Development Assistance Authorizations \2\

    Sec. 101.\3\ General Policy.--(a) The Congress finds that 
fundamental political, economic, and technological changes have 
resulted in the interdependence of nations. The Congress 
declares that the individual liberties, economic prosperity, 
and security of the people of the United States are best 
sustained and enhanced in a community of nations which respect 
individual civil and economic rights and freedoms and which 
work together to use wisely the world's limited resources in an 
open and equitable international economic system. Furthermore, 
the Congress reaffirms the traditional humanitarian ideals of 
the American people and renews its commitment to assist people 
in developing countries to eliminate hunger, poverty, illness, 
and ignorance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\ Sec. 101(a) of the FA Act of 1963 struck out the words ``Short 
Title and'' in the chapter heading, which formerly read ``Short Title 
and Policy''. Sec. 2(1) of the FA Act of 1973 added the following words 
to the chapter heading: ``Development Assistance Authorizations''.
    \3\ 22 U.S.C. 2151. Sec. 101 was added by sec. 101 of the 
International Development and Food Assistance Act of 1978 (92 Stat. 
937). Previously, sec. 101 had related to the short title before being 
repealed by the FA Act of 1963. This general policy statement was 
formerly contained in sec. 102 before 1978.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Therefore, the Congress declares that a principal objective 
of the foreign policy of the United States is the encouragement 
and sustained support of the people of developing countries in 
their efforts to acquire the knowledge and resources essential 
to development and to build the economic, political, and social 
institutions which will improve the quality of their lives.
    United States development cooperation policy should 
emphasize five \4\ principal goals:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \4\ Sec. 203(a)(1) of the International Anti-Corruption and Good 
Governance Act of 2000 (title II of Public Law 106-309; 114 Stat. 1091) 
struck out ``four'' and inserted in lieu thereof ``five''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (1) the alleviation of the worst physical 
        manifestations of poverty among the world's poor 
        majority;
          (2) the promotion of conditions enabling developing 
        countries to achieve self-sustaining economic growth 
        with equitable distribution of benefits;
          (3) the encouragement of development processes in 
        which individual civil and economic rights are 
        respected and enhanced; \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \5\ Sec. 203(a) of the International Anti-Corruption and Good 
Governance Act of 2000 (title II of Public Law 106-309; 114 Stat. 1091) 
struck out ``and'' at the end of para. (3), replaced a period at the 
end of para. (4) with ``; and'', and added a new para. (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (4) the integration of the developing countries into 
        an open and equitable international economic system; 
        and
          (5) \5\ the promotion of good governance through 
        combating corruption and improving transparency and 
        accountability.
    The Congress declares that pursuit of these goals requires 
that development concerns be fully reflected in United States 
foreign policy and that United States development resources be 
effectively and efficiently utilized.
    (b) Under the policy guidance of the Secretary of State, 
the agency primarily responsible for administering this part 
should have the responsibility for coordinating all United 
States development-related activities.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \6\ The responsibilities of the Agency mentioned in this subsection 
were transferred to the Director of IDCA, pursuant to sec. 6 of 
Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1979 (establishing IDCA). The 
responsibilities of the Secretary of State, insofar as they relate to 
policy guidance other than foreign policy guidance, were also 
transferred to the Director. The Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1979 
ceased to be effective with enactment of the Foreign Affairs Reform and 
Restructuring Act of 1998, pursuant to sec. 1422(a)(1) (division G of 
Public Law 105-277; 112 Stat. 2681).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sec. 102.\7\ Development Assistance Policy.--(a) The 
Congress finds that the efforts of developing countries to 
build and maintain the social and economic institutions 
necessary to achieve self-sustaining growth and to provide 
opportunities to improve the quality of life for their people 
depend primarily upon successfully marshalling their own 
economic and human resources. The Congress recognizes that the 
magnitude of these efforts exceeds the resources of developing 
countries and therefore accepts that there will be a long-term 
need for wealthy countries to contribute additional resources 
for development purposes. The United States should take the 
lead in concert with other nations to mobilize such resources 
from public and private sources.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \7\ 22 U.S.C. 2151-1. Sec. 101 of the International Development and 
Food Assistance Act of 1978 (92 Stat. 927) struck out sec. 102, which 
concerned a statement of policy, and added a new sec. 102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Provision of development resources must be adapted to the 
needs and capabilities of specific developing countries. United 
States assistance to countries with low per capita incomes 
which have limited access to private external resources should 
primarily be provided on concessional terms. Assistance to 
other developing countries should generally consist of programs 
which facilitate their access to private capital markets, 
investment, and technical skills, whether directly through 
guarantee or reimbursable programs by the United States 
Government or indirectly through callable capital provided to 
the international financial institutions.
    Bilateral assistance and United States participation in 
multilateral institutions shall emphasize programs in support 
of countries which pursue development strategies designed to 
meet basic human needs and achieve self-sustaining growth with 
equity.
    The Congress declares that the principal purpose of United 
States bilateral development assistance is to help the poor 
majority of people in developing countries to participate in a 
process of equitable growth through productive work and to 
influence decisions that shape their lives, with the goal of 
increasing their incomes and their access to public services 
which will enable them to satisfy their basic needs and lead 
lives of decency, dignity, and hope. Activities shall be 
emphasized that effectively involve the poor in development by 
expanding their access to the economy through services and 
institutions at the local level, increasing their participation 
in the making of decisions that affect their lives, increasing 
labor-intensive production and the use of appropriate 
technology, expanding productive investment and services out 
from major cities to small towns and rural areas, and otherwise 
providing opportunities for the poor to improve their lives 
through their own efforts. Participation of the United States 
in multilateral institutions shall also place appropriate 
emphasis on these principles.
    (b) Assistance under this chapter should be used not only 
for the purpose of transferring financial resources to 
developing countries, but also to help countries solve 
development problems in accordance with a strategy that aims to 
insure wide participation of the poor in the benefits of 
development on a sustained basis. Moreover, assistance shall be 
provided in a prompt and effective manner, using appropriate 
United States institutions for carrying out this strategy. In 
order to achieve these objectives and the broad objectives set 
forth in section 101 and in subsection (a) of this section, 
bilateral development assistance authorized by this Act shall 
be carried out in accordance with the following principles:
          (1) Development is primarily the responsibility of 
        the people of the developing countries themselves. 
        Assistance from the United States shall be used in 
        support of, rather than substitution for, the self-help 
        efforts that are essential to successful development 
        programs and shall be concentrated in those countries 
        that take positive steps to help themselves. Maximum 
        effort shall be made, in the administration of this 
        part, to stimulate the involvement of the people in the 
        development process through the encouragement of 
        democratic participation in private and local 
        governmental activities and institution building 
        appropriate to the requirements of the recipient 
        countries.
          (2) Development planning must be the responsibility 
        of each sovereign country. United States assistance 
        should be administered in a collaborative style to 
        support the development goals chosen by each country 
        receiving assistance.
          (3) United States bilateral development assistance 
        should give high priority to undertakings submitted by 
        host governments which directly improve the lives of 
        the poorest of their people and their capacity to 
        participate in the development of their countries, 
        while also helping such governments enhance their 
        planning, technical, and administrative capabilities 
        needed to insure the success of such undertakings.
          (4) Development assistance provided under this 
        chapter shall be concentrated in countries which will 
        make the most effective use of such assistance to help 
        satisfy basic human needs of poor people through 
        equitable growth, especially in those countries having 
        the greatest need for outside assistance. In order to 
        make possible consistent and informed judgments in this 
        respect, the President shall assess the commitment and 
        progress of countries in moving toward the objectives 
        and purposes of this chapter by utilizing criteria, 
        including but not limited to the following:
                  (A) increase in agricultural productivity per 
                unit of land through small-farm, labor-
                intensive agriculture;
                  (B) reduction of infant mortality;
                  (C) control of population growth;
                  (D) promotion of greater equality of income 
                distribution, including measures such as more 
                progressive taxation and more equitable returns 
                to small farmers;
                  (E) reduction of rates of unemployment and 
                underemployment; \8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \8\ Sec. 203(b)(1) of the International Anti-Corruption and Good 
Governance Act of 2000 (title II of Public Law 106-309; 114 Stat. 1092) 
struck out ``and'' at the end of subpara. (E), replaced a period at the 
end of subpara. (F) with ``; and'', and added a new subpara. (G).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  (F) increase in literacy; and
                  (G) \8\ progress in combating corruption and 
                improving transparency and accountability in 
                the public and private sector.
          (5) United States development assistance should focus 
        on critical problems in those functional sectors which 
        affect the lives of the majority of the people in the 
        developing countries; food production and nutrition; 
        rural development and generation of gainful employment; 
        population planning and health; environment and natural 
        resources; education, development administration, and 
        human resources development; and energy development and 
        production.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \9\ The reference to energy development and production was added by 
sec. 104(a) of the International Development Cooperation Act of 1979 
(Public Law 96-53; 93 Stat. 360).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (6) United States assistance shall encourage and 
        promote the participation of women in the national 
        economies of developing countries and the improvement 
        of women's status as an important means of promoting 
        the total development effort.
          (7) United States bilateral assistance shall 
        recognize that the prosperity of developing countries 
        and effective development efforts require the adoption 
        of an overall strategy that promotes the development, 
        production,\9\ and efficient utilization of energy and, 
        therefore, consideration shall be given to the full 
        implications of such assistance on the price, 
        availability, and consumption of energy in recipient 
        countries.
          (8) United States cooperation in development should 
        be carried out to the maximum extent possible through 
        the private sector, including those institutions which 
        already have ties in the developing areas, such as 
        educational institutions, cooperatives, credit unions, 
        free labor unions, and private and voluntary agencies.
          (9) To the maximum extent practicable, United States 
        private investment should be encouraged in economic and 
        social development programs to which the United States 
        lends support.
          (10) Assistance shall be planned and utilized to 
        encourage regional cooperation by developing countries 
        in the solution of common problems and the development 
        of shared resources.
          (11) Assistance efforts of the United States shall be 
        planned and furnished to the maximum extent practicable 
        in coordination and cooperation with assistance efforts 
        of other countries, including the planning and 
        implementation of programs and projects on a 
        multilateral and multidonor basis.
          (12) United States bilateral development assistance 
        should be concentrated on projects which do not involve 
        large-scale capital transfers. However, to the extent 
        that such assistance does involve large-scale capital 
        transfers, it should be furnished in association with 
        contributions from other countries working together in 
        a multilateral framework.
          (13) \10\ United States encouragement of policy 
        reforms is necessary if developing countries are to 
        achieve economic growth with equity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \10\ Paragraphs (13), (14), (15), and (16) were added by sec. 301 
of the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985 
(Public Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 190).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (14) \10\ Development assistance should, as a 
        fundamental objective, promote private sector activity 
        in open and competitive markets in developing 
        countries, recognizing such activity to be a productive 
        and efficient means of achieving equitable and long-
        term economic growth.
          (15) \10\ United States cooperation in development 
        should recognize as essential the need of developing 
        countries to have access to appropriate technology in 
        order to improve food and water, health and housing, 
        education and employment, and agriculture and industry.
          (16) \10\ United States assistance should focus on 
        establishing and upgrading the institutional capacities 
        of developing countries in order to promote long-term 
        development. An important component of institution 
        building involves training to expand the human resource 
        potential of people in developing countries.
          (17) \11\ Economic reform and development of 
        effective institutions of democratic governance are 
        mutually reinforcing. The successful transition of a 
        developing country is dependent upon the quality of its 
        economic and governance institutions. Rule of law, 
        mechanisms of accountability and transparency, security 
        of person, property, and investments, are but a few of 
        the critical governance and economic reforms that 
        underpin the sustainability of broad-based economic 
        growth. Programs in support of such reforms strengthen 
        the capacity of people to hold their governments 
        accountable and to create economic opportunity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \11\ Sec. 203(b)(2) of the International Anti-Corruption and Good 
Governance Act of 2000 (title II of Public Law 106-309; 114 Stat. 1092) 
added para. (17).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (c) The Congress, recognizing the desirability of 
overcoming the worst aspects of absolute poverty by the end of 
this century by, among other measures, substantially lowering 
infant mortality and birth rates, and increasing life 
expectancy, food production, literacy, and employment, 
encourages the President to explore with other countries, 
through all appropriate channels, the feasibility of a 
worldwide cooperative effort to overcome the worst aspects of 
absolute poverty and to assure self-reliant growth in the 
developing countries by the year 2000.


          Note.--Foreign assistance appropriations for fiscal 
        year 2001 are included in the Foreign Operations, 
        Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations 
        Act, 2001 (H.R. 5526, as introduced on October 24, 
        2000, enacted by reference in sec. 101(a) of Public Law 
        106-429; 114 Stat. 1900). Amounts appropriated by that 
        Act to carry out the purposes of provisions contained 
        in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, during fiscal 
        year 2001 unless otherwise specified, are included in 
        footnotes.



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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          Note.--Prior to fiscal year 1992, Congress appropriated funds for each of the Development Assistance
                         functional accounts authorized in sections 103 through 106 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. For
                         fiscal year 1992 through fiscal year 1995, however, Congress made appropriations in one lump sum for
                         all programs within sections 103 through 106, with the exception of ``Population, Development
                         Assistance''. In fiscal year 1996, Congress made appropriations in one lump sum for Development
                         Assistance. Since fiscal year 1997, Congress has made appropriations to two development accounts:
                         ``Development Assistance'' and ``Child Survival and Disease Programs Fund''.
                          For fiscal year 2001, to remain available until September 30, 2002, for the provisions of sections 103
                         through 106 and chapter 10 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (Development Assistance and
                         Development Fund for Africa), title V of the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of
                         1980 (African Development Foundation), and section 401 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1969 (Inter-
                         American Foundation), Congress appropriated $1,305,000,000. Congress also appropriated $963,000,000 in
                         fiscal year 2001, to remain available until expended, for child survival, basic education, and to
                         combat tropical and other infectious diseases, and related activities.
                          Sec. 1403 of the Miscellaneous Appropriations Act, 2001 (H.R. 5666, enacted by reference in Public Law
                         106-554; 114 Stat. 2763A-171), however, rescinded total discretionary budget authority for fiscal year
                         2001 by an amount of 0.22 percent. The section stated as follows:
                          ``Sec. 1403. (a) Government-Wide Rescissions.--There is hereby rescinded an amount equal to 0.22
                         percent of the discretionary budget authority provided (or obligation limit imposed) for fiscal year
                         2001 in this or any other Act for each department, agency, instrumentality, or entity of the Federal
                         Government, except for those programs, projects, and activities which are specifically exempted
                         elsewhere in this provision: Provided, That this exact reduction percentage shall be applied on a pro
                         rata basis only to each program, project, and activity subject to the rescission.
                          ``(b) Restrictions.--This reduction shall not be applied to the amounts appropriated in title I of
                         Public Law 106-259: Provided, That this reduction shall not be applied to the amounts appropriated in

                         to this section.''.

    Sec. 103.\12\ Agriculture, Rural Development, and 
Nutrition.--(a)(1) In recognition of the fact that the great 
majority of the people of developing countries live in rural 
areas and are dependent on agriculture and agricultural-related 
pursuits for their livelihood, the President is authorized to 
furnish assistance, on such terms and conditions as he may 
determine, for agriculture, rural development, and nutrition--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \12\ 22 U.S.C. 2151a. Sec. 103, as added by sec. 2(3) of the FA Act 
of 1973 (87 Stat. 715), was amended and restated by sec. 103(a) of the 
International Development and Food Assistance Act of 1978 (92 Stat. 
943). Previous amendments to sec. 103 were made by sec. 2 of Public Law 
93-559 (88 Stat. 1795), sec. 302 of Public Law 94-161 (89 Stat. 856), 
and by sec. 102 of Public Law 95-88 (91 Stat. 534).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (A) to alleviate starvation, hunger, and 
        malnutrition;
          (B) to expand significantly the provision of basic 
        services to rural poor people to enhance their capacity 
        for self-help; and
          (C) to help create productive farm and off-farm 
        employment in rural areas to provide a more viable 
        economic base and enhance opportunities for improved 
        incomes, living standards, and contributions by rural 
        poor people to the economic and social development of 
        their countries.
    (2) There are authorized to be appropriated to the 
President for purposes of this section, in addition to funds 
otherwise available for such purposes, $760,000,000 for the 
fiscal year 1986 and $760,000,000 for the fiscal year 1987.\13\ 
Of these amounts, the President may use such amounts as he 
deems appropriate to carry out the provisions of section 316 of 
the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 
1980.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \13\ The authorization figures for fiscal years 1986 and 1987 were 
added by sec. 302 of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 190). 
Authorizations for recent years included: fiscal year 1975--
$500,000,000; fiscal year 1976--$618,000,000; fiscal year 1977--
$745,000,000; fiscal year 1978--$580,000,000; fiscal year 1979--
$665,231,000; fiscal year 1980--$659,000,000; fiscal year 1981--
$713,500,000; fiscal year 1982--$700,000,000; fiscal year 1983--
$700,000,000; fiscal year 1984--$725,213,000; fiscal year 1985--no 
authorization; fiscal years 1988 through 2001--no authorization.
    \14\ Sec. 316 of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1980 concerns world hunger and instructs the 
Director of IDCA to encourage the ongoing work of PVOs to deal with 
world hunger problems abroad.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (3) \15\ Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated in 
paragraph; (2) for the fiscal year 1987, not less than 
$2,000,000 shall be available only for the purpose of 
controlling and eradicating amblyomman variegatum (heartwater) 
in bovine animals in the Caribbean.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \15\ Paragraph 3 was added by sec. 1304 of Public Law 99-399 (100 
Stat. 898).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (b)(1) Assistance provided under this section shall be used 
primarily for activities which are specifically designed to 
increase the productivity and income of the rural poor, through 
such means as creation and strengthening of local institutions 
linked to the regional and national levels; organization of a 
system of financial institutions which provide both savings and 
credit services to the poor; stimulation of small, labor-
intensive enterprises in rural towns; improvement of marketing 
facilities and systems; expansion of rural infrastructure and 
utilities such as farm-to-market roads, water management 
systems, land improvement, energy, and storage facilities; 
establishment of more equitable and more secure land tenure 
arrangements; and creation and strengthening of systems to 
provide other services and supplies needed by farmers, such as 
extension, research, training, fertilizer, water, forestry, 
soil conservation, and improved seed, in ways which assure 
access to them by small farmers.
    (2) In circumstances where development of major 
infrastructure is necessary to achieve the objectives set forth 
in this section, assistance for that purpose should be 
furnished under this chapter in association with significant 
contributions from other countries working together in a 
multilateral framework. Infrastructure projects so assisted 
should be complemented by other measures to ensure that the 
benefits of the infrastructure reach the poor.
    (3) \16\ The Congress recognizes that the accelerating loss 
of forests and tree cover in developing countries undermines 
and offsets efforts to improve agricultural production and 
nutrition and otherwise to meet the basic human needs of the 
poor. Deforestation results in increased flooding, reduction in 
water supply for agricultural capacity, loss of firewood and 
needed wood products, and loss of valuable plants and animals. 
In order to maintain and increase forest resources, the 
President is authorized to provide assistance under this 
section for forestry projects which are essential to fulfill 
the fundamental purposes of this section. Emphasis shall be 
given to community woodlots, agroforestry, reforestation, 
protection of watershed forests, and more effective forest 
management.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \16\ Par. (3) and subsec. (f) were added by sec. 101 of the 
International Development Cooperation Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 
Stat. 359).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (c) The Congress finds that the greatest potential for 
significantly expanding availability of food for people in 
rural areas and augmenting world food production at relatively 
low cost lies in increasing the productivity of small farmers 
who constitute a majority of the agricultural producers in 
developing countries. Increasing the emphasis on rural 
development and expanded food production in the poorest nations 
of the developing world is a matter of social justice and a 
principal element contributing to broadly based economic 
growth, as well as an important factor in alleviating inflation 
in the industrialized countries. In the allocation of funds 
under this section, special attention shall be given to 
increasing agricultural production in countries which have been 
designated as ``least developed'' by the United Nations General 
Assembly.
    (d) Assistance provided under this section shall also be 
used in coordination with programs carried out under section 
104 to help improve nutrition of the people of developing 
countries through encouragement of increased production of 
crops with greater nutritional value; improvement of planning, 
research, and education with respect to nutrition, particularly 
with reference to improvement and expanded use of indigenously 
produced foodstuffs; and the undertaking of pilot or 
demonstration programs explicitly addressing the problem of 
malnutrition of poor and vulnerable people. In particular, the 
President is encouraged--
          (1) to devise and carry out in partnership with 
        developing countries a strategy for programs of 
        nutrition and health improvement for mothers and 
        children, including breast feeding; and
          (2) to provide technical, financial, and material 
        support to individuals or groups at the local level for 
        such programs.
    (e) Local currency proceeds from sales of commodities 
provided under the Agricultural Trade Development and 
Assistance Act of 1954 which are owned by foreign governments 
shall be used whenever practicable to carry out the provisions 
of this section.
    (f) \16\ The Congress finds that the efforts of developing 
countries to enhance their national food security deserves 
encouragement as a matter of United States development 
assistance policy. Measures complementary to assistance for 
expanding food production in developing countries are needed to 
help assure that food becomes increasingly available on a 
regular basis to the poor in such countries. Therefore, United 
States bilateral assistance under this Act and the Agricultural 
Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, and United States 
participation in multilateral institutions, shall emphasize 
policies and programs which assist developing countries to 
increase their national food security by improving their food 
policies and management and by strengthening national food 
reserves, with particular concern for the needs of the poor, 
through measures encouraging domestic production, building 
national food reserves, expanding available storage facilities, 
reducing postharvest food losses, and improving food 
distribution.
    (g) \17\ (1) In order to carry out the purposes of this 
section, the President may continue United States participation 
in and may make contributions to the International Fund for 
Agricultural Development.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \17\ Sec. 1001 of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 190) amended and 
restated subsec. (g). Subsec. (g), in its previous form, had been added 
by sec. 301(c) of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1981 (Public Law 97-113; 95 Stat. 1532). It 
previously read as follows: ``In order to carry out the purposes of 
this section, the President may continue to participate in and may 
provide, on such terms and conditions as he may determine, up to 
$180,000,000 to the International Fund for Agricultural Development. 
There are authorized to be appropriated to the President for the 
purposes of this subsection $180,000,000, except that not more than 
$40,500,000 may be appropriated under this subsection for the fiscal 
year 1982. Amounts appropriated under this subsection are authorized to 
remain available until expended.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (2) Of the aggregate amount authorized to be appropriated 
to carry out part I of this Act, up to $50,000,000 for fiscal 
year 1986 and up to $50,000,000 for fiscal year 1987 may be 
made available, by appropriation or by transfer, for United 
States contributions to the second replenishment of the 
International Fund for Agricultural Development.
    Sec. 103A.\18\ Agricultural Research.--Agricultural 
research carried out under this Act shall (1) take account of 
the special needs of small farmers in the determination of 
research priorities, (2) include research on the 
interrelationships among technology, institutions, and 
economic, social, environmental,\19\ and cultural factors 
affecting small-farm agriculture, and (3) make extensive use of 
field testing to adapt basic research to local conditions. 
Special emphasis shall be placed on disseminating research 
results to the farms on which they can be put to use, and 
especially on institutional and other arrangements needed to 
assure that small farmers have effective access to both new and 
existing improved technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \18\ 22 U.S.C. 2151a-1. Sec. 103A was added by sec. 303 of Public 
Law 94-161 (89 Stat. 849).
    \19\ The word ``environmental,'' was added by sec. 103(d) of the 
International Development and Food Assistance Act of 1978 (92 Stat. 
945).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sec. 104.\20\ Population and Health.--(a) Findings.--The 
Congress recognizes that poor health conditions and 
uncontrolled population growth can vitiate otherwise successful 
development efforts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \20\ 22 U.S.C. 2151b. Sec. 104, as added by sec. 2(3) of the FA Act 
of 1973 (87 Stat. 715), was amended and restated by sec. 104(a) of the 
International Development and Food Assistance Act of 1978 (92 Stat. 
945). Previous amendments to sec. 104 were made by sec. 4(1) of Public 
Law 93-559 (88 Stat. 1795), sec. 304 of Public Law 94-161 (89 Stat. 
857), and sec. 103 of Public Law 95-88 (91 Stat. 534).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Large families in developing countries are the result of 
complex social and economic factors which change relatively 
slowly among the poor majority least affected by economic 
progress, as well as the result of a lack of effective birth 
control. Therefore, effective family planning depends upon 
economic and social change as well as the delivery of services 
and is often a matter of political and religious sensitivity. 
While every country has the right to determine its own policies 
with respect to population growth, voluntary population 
planning programs can make a substantial contribution to 
economic development, higher living standards, and improved 
health and nutrition.
    Good health conditions are a principal element in improved 
quality of life and contribute to the individual's capacity to 
participate in the development process, while poor health and 
debilitating disease can limit productivity.
    (b) Assistance for Population Planning.--In order to 
increase the opportunities and motivation for family planning 
and to reduce the rate of population growth, the President is 
authorized to furnish assistance, on such terms and conditions 
as he may determine, for voluntary population planning. In 
addition to the provision of family planning information and 
services, including also information and services which relate 
to and support natural family planning methods,\21\ and the 
conduct of directly relevant demographic research, population 
planning programs shall emphasize motivation for small 
families.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \21\ The words ``, including also information and services which 
related to and support natural family planning methods,'' were added by 
sec. 302(a) of the International Security and Development Cooperation 
Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-533; 94 Stat. 3145).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (c) \22\ Assistance for Health and Disease Prevention.--(1) 
\23\ In order to contribute to improvements in the health of 
the greatest number of poor people in developing countries, the 
President is authorized to furnish assistance, on such terms 
and conditions as he may determine, for health programs. 
Assistance under this subsection shall be used primarily for 
basic integrated health services, safe water and sanitation, 
disease prevention and control, and related health planning and 
research. The assistance shall emphasize self-sustaining 
community-based health programs by means such as training of 
health auxiliary and other appropriate personnel, support for 
the establishment and evaluation of projects that can be 
replicated on a broader scale, measures to improve management 
of health programs, and other services and suppliers to support 
health and disease prevention programs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \22\ Sec. 103 of the International Malaria Control Act of 2000 
(Public Law 106-570; 114 Stat. 3039; 22 U.S.C. 2151b-1) provided the 
following:
    ``sec. 103. assistance for malaria prevention, treatment, control, 
and elimination.
    ``(a) Assistance.--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

          ``(1) In general.--The Administrator of the United States 
        Agency for International Development, in coordination with the 
        heads of other appropriate Federal agencies and nongovernmental 
        organizations, shall provide assistance for the establishment 
        and conduct of activities designed to prevent, treat, control, 
        and eliminate malaria in countries with a high percentage of 
        malaria cases.
          ``(2) Consideration of interaction among epidemics.--In 
        providing assistance pursuant to paragraph (1), the 
        Administrator should consider the interaction among the 
        epidemics of HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis.
          ``(3) Dissemination of information requirement.--Activities 
        referred to in paragraph (1) shall include the dissemination of 
        information relating to the development of vaccines and 
        therapeutic agents for the prevention of malaria (including 
        information relating to participation in, and the results of, 
        clinical trials for such vaccines and agents conducted by 
        United States Government agencies) to appropriate officials in 
        such countries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ``(b) Authorization of Appropriations.--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

          ``(1) In general.--There are authorized to be appropriated to 
        carry out subsection (a) $50,000,000 for each of the fiscal 
        years 2001 and 2002.
          ``(2) Availability.--Amounts appropriated pursuant to the 
        authorization of appropriations under paragraph (1) are 
        authorized to remain available until expended.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \23\ The paragraph designation ``(1)'' and a new par. (2) were 
added by sec. 541(a) of the Foreign Assistance Appropriations Act, 
1985, as contained in the Continuing Appropriations Act, 1985 (Public 
Law 98-473). This amendment had been included as sec. 303 of H.R. 5119, 
the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1984, as 
passed by the House on May 10, 1984. Sec. 541(a) enacted sec. 303 of 
H.R. 5119.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (2) \23\ (A) In carrying out the purposes of this 
subsection, the President shall promote, encourage, and 
undertake activities designed to deal directly with the special 
health needs of children and mothers. Such activities should 
utilize simple, available technologies which can significantly 
reduce childhood mortality, such as improved and expanded 
immunization programs, oral rehydration to combat diarrhoeal 
diseases, and education programs aimed at improving nutrition 
and sanitation and at promoting child spacing. In carrying out 
this paragraph, guidance shall be sought from knowledgeable 
health professionals from outside the agency primarily 
responsible for administering this part. In addition to 
government-to-government programs, activities pursuant to this 
paragraph should include support for appropriate activities of 
the types described in this paragraph which are carried out by 
international organizations (which may include international 
organizations receiving funds under chapter 3 of this part) and 
by private and voluntary organizations, and should include 
encouragement to other donors to support such types of 
activities.
    (B) \24\ In addition to amounts otherwise available for 
such purpose, there are authorized to be appropriated to the 
President $25,000,000 for fiscal year 1986 and $75,000,000 for 
fiscal year 1987 for use in carrying out this paragraph. 
Amounts appropriated under this subparagraph are authorized to 
remain available until expended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \24\ Sec. 304 of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 190) replaced an 
authorization figure of ``$25,000,000'' with ``$25,000,000 for fiscal 
year 1986 and $25,000,000 for fiscal year 1987''. Section 103(b) of 
Public Law 99-529 (100 Stat. 3010) replaced the $25,000,000 
authorization for fiscal year 1987 with an authorization of 
$75,000,000.
    Title II of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related 
Programs Appropriations Act, 2001 (H.R. 5526, as introduced on October 
24, 2000, enacted by reference in sec. 101(a) of Public Law 106-429; 
114 Stat. 1900A-5), provided the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

               ``child survival and disease programs fund
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ``For necessary expenses to carry out the provisions of chapters 1 
and 10 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, for child 
survival, basic education, assistance to combat tropical and other 
infectious diseases, and related activities, in addition to funds 
otherwise available for such purposes, $963,000,000, to remain 
available until expended: Provided, That this amount shall be made 
available for such activities as: (1) immunization programs; (2) oral 
rehydration programs; (3) health and nutrition programs, and related 
education programs, which address the needs of mothers and children; 
(4) water and sanitation programs; (5) assistance for displaced and 
orphaned children; (6) programs for the prevention, treatment, and 
control of, and research on, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, polio, malaria and 
other infectious diseases; and (7) basic education programs for 
children: Provided further, That none of the funds appropriated under 
this heading may be made available for nonproject assistance, except 
that funds may be made available for such assistance for basic 
education and ongoing health programs: Provided further, That of the 
funds appropriated under this heading, not to exceed $125,000, in 
addition to funds otherwise available for such purposes, may be used to 
monitor and provide oversight of child survival, maternal health, and 
infectious disease programs: Provided further, That the following 
amounts should be allocated as follows: $295,000,000 for child survival 
and maternal health; $30,000,000 for vulnerable children; $300,000,000 
for HIV/AIDS; $125,000,000 for other infectious diseases; $103,000,000 
for children's basic education; and $110,000,000 for UNICEF: Provided 
further, That of the funds appropriated under this heading, up to 
$50,000,000 may be made available for a United States contribution to 
the Global Fund for Children's Vaccines, up to $10,000,000 may be made 
available for the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, and up to 
$20,000,000 may be made available for a United States contribution to 
an international HIV/AIDS fund as authorized by subtitle B, title I of 
Public Law 106-264, or a comparable international HIV/AIDS fund.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (C) Appropriations pursuant to subparagraph (B) may be 
referred to as the ``Child Survival Fund.''
    (3) \25\ The Congress recognizes that the promotion of 
primary health care is a major objective of the foreign 
assistance program. The Congress further recognizes that 
simple, relatively low-cost means already exist to reduce 
incidence of communicable diseases among children, mothers, and 
infants. The promotion of vaccines for immunization, and salts 
for oral rehydration, therefore, is an essential feature of the 
health assistance program. To this end, the Congress expects 
the agency primarily responsible for administering this part to 
set as a goal the protection of not less than 80 percent of all 
children, in those countries in which such agency has 
established development programs, from immunizable diseases by 
January 1, 1991. Of the aggregate amounts made available for 
fiscal year 1987 to carry out paragraph (2) of this subsection 
(relating to the Child Survival Fund) and to carry out 
subsection (c) (relating to development assistance for health), 
$50,000,000 shall be used to carry out this paragraph.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \25\ Par. (3) was added by sec. 305 of the International Security 
and Development Cooperation Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 
190). Sec. 305(b) of the act provides that: ``Each annual report 
required by section 634 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 shall 
describe the progress achieved during the preceding fiscal year in 
carrying out section 104(c)(3) of such Act.''.
    \26\ The last sentence of paragraph (3) was added by sec. 103(a) of 
Public Law 99-529 (100 Stat. 3010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (4) \27\ (A) Congress recognizes the growing international 
dilemma of children with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 
and the merits of intervention programs aimed at this problem. 
Congress further recognizes that mother-to-child transmission 
prevention strategies can serve as a major force for change in 
developing regions, and it is, therefore, a major objective of 
the foreign assistance program to control the acquired immune 
deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \27\ Sec. 111(a) of the Global AIDS and Tuberculosis Relief Act of 
2000 (Public Law 106-264; 114 Stat. 751) added paras. (4), (5), and 
(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (B) The agency primarily responsible for administering this 
part shall--
          (i) coordinate with UNAIDS, UNICEF, WHO, national and 
        local governments, and other organizations to develop 
        and implement effective strategies to prevent vertical 
        transmission of HIV; and
          (ii) coordinate with those organizations to increase 
        intervention programs and introduce voluntary 
        counseling and testing, antiretroviral drugs, 
        replacement feeding, and other strategies.
    (5) \27\ (A) Congress expects the agency primarily 
responsible for administering this part to make the human 
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the acquired immune deficiency 
syndrome (AIDS) a priority in the foreign assistance program 
and to undertake a comprehensive, coordinated effort to combat 
HIV and AIDS.
    (B) Assistance described in subparagraph (A) shall include 
help providing--
          (i) primary prevention and education;
          (ii) voluntary testing and counseling;
          (iii) medications to prevent the transmission of HIV 
        from mother to child; and
          (iv) care for those living with HIV or AIDS.
    (6) \27\ (A) In addition to amounts otherwise available for 
such purpose, there is authorized to be appropriated to the 
President $300,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2001 and 
2002 to carry out paragraphs (4) and (5).
    (B) Of the funds authorized to be appropriated under 
subparagraph (A), not less than 65 percent is authorized to be 
available through United States and foreign nongovernmental 
organizations, including private and voluntary organizations, 
for-profit organizations, religious affiliated organizations, 
educational institutions, and research facilities.
    (C)(i) Of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
subparagraph (A), not less than 20 percent is authorized to be 
available for programs as part of a multidonor strategy to 
address the support and education of orphans in sub-Saharan 
Africa, including AIDS orphans.
    (ii) Assistance made available under this subsection, and 
assistance made available under chapter 4 of part II to carry 
out the purposes of this subsection, may be made available 
notwithstanding any other provision of law that restricts 
assistance to foreign countries.
    (D) Of the funds authorized to be appropriated under 
subparagraph (A), not less than 8.3 percent is authorized to be 
available to carry out the prevention strategies for vertical 
transmission referred to in paragraph (4)(A).
    (E) Of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
subparagraph (A), not more than 7 percent may be used for the 
administrative expenses of the agency primarily responsible for 
carrying out this part of this Act in support of activities 
described in paragraphs (4) and (5).
    (F) Funds appropriated under this paragraph are authorized 
to remain available until expended.
    (7) \28\ (A) Congress recognizes the growing international 
problem of tuberculosis and the impact its continued existence 
has on those nations that had previously largely controlled the 
disease. Congress further recognizes that the means exist to 
control and treat tuberculosis, and that it is therefore a 
major objective of the foreign assistance program to control 
the disease. To this end, Congress expects the agency primarily 
responsible for administering this part)--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \28\ Sec. 203 of the Global AIDS and Tuberculosis Relief Act of 
2000 (Public Law 106-264; 114 Stat. 759) added para. (7).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (i) to coordinate with the World Health Organization, 
        the Centers for Disease Control, the National 
        Institutes of Health, and other organizations toward 
        the development and implementation of a comprehensive 
        tuberculosis control program; and
          (ii) to set as a goal the detection of at least 70 
        percent of the cases of infectious tuberculosis, and 
        the cure of at least 85 percent of the cases detected, 
        in those countries in which the agency has established 
        development programs, by December 31, 2010.
    (B) There is authorized to be appropriated to the 
President, $60,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2001 and 
2002 to be used to carry out this paragraph. Funds appropriated 
under this subparagraph are authorized to remain available 
until expended.
    (d) Integration of Assistance Programs.--(1) Assistance 
under this chapter shall be administered so as to give 
particular attention to the interrelationship between (A) 
population growth, and (B) development and overall improvement 
in living standards in developing countries, and to the impact 
of all programs, projects, and activities on population growth. 
All appropriate activities proposed for financing under this 
chapter shall be designed to build motivation for smaller 
families through modification of economic and social conditions 
supportive of the desire for large families, in programs such 
as education in and out of school, nutrition, disease control, 
maternal and child health services, improvements in the status 
and employment of women, agricultural production, rural 
development, and assistance to the urban poor, and through 
community-based development programs which give recognition to 
people motivated to limit the size of their families.\29\ 
Population planning programs shall be coordinated with other 
programs aimed at reducing the infant mortality rate, providing 
better nutrition for pregnant women and infants, and raising 
the standard of living of the poor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \29\ The reference to community-based development programs was 
added by sec. 102(b) of the International Development Cooperation Act 
of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 Stat. 360).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (2) Since the problems of malnutrition, disease, and rapid 
population growth are closely related, planning for assistance 
to be provided under subsections (b) and (c) of this section 
and under section 103 shall be coordinated to the maximum 
extent practicable.
    (3) Assistance provided under this section shall emphasize 
low-cost integrated delivery systems for health, nutrition, and 
family planning for the poorest people, with particular 
attention to the needs of mothers and young children, using 
paramedical and auxiliary medical personnel, clinics and health 
posts, commercial distribution systems, and other modes of 
community outreach.
    (e) Research and Analysis.--(1) Health and population 
research and analysis carried out under this Act shall--
          (A) be undertaken to the maximum extent practicable 
        in developing countries by developing country 
        personnel, linked as appropriate with private and 
        governmental biomedical research facilities within the 
        United States;
          (B) take account of the special needs of the poor 
        people of developing countries in the determination of 
        research priorities; and
          (C) make extensive use of field testing to adapt 
        basic research to local conditions.
    (2) The President is authorized to study the complex 
factors affecting population growth in developing countries and 
to identify factors which might motivate people to plan family 
size or to space their children.
    (f) \30\ Prohibition on Use of Funds for Abortions and 
Involuntary Sterilizations.--(1) None of the funds made 
available to carry out this part may be used to pay for the 
performance of abortions as a method of family planning or to 
motivate \31\ or coerce any person to practice abortions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \30\ Sec. 518 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and 
Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2001 (H.R. 5526, as introduced on 
October 24, 2000, enacted by reference in sec. 101(a) of Public Law 
106-429; 114 Stat. 1900A-28), made a similar prohibition.
    Sec. 598 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related 
Programs Appropriations Act, 2001 (H.R. 5526 as introduced on October 
24, 2000, enacted by reference in sec. 101(a) of Public Law 106-429;

Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2001 (H.R. 5526, as introduced on 
October 24, 2000, enacted by reference in sec. 101(a) of Public Law 
106-429; 114 Stat. 1900A-7), under ``Development Assistance'', provided 
the following:
    ``That in awarding grants for natural family planning under section 
104 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 no applicant shall be 
discriminated against because of such applicant's religious or 
conscientious commitment to offer only natural family planning; and, 
additionally, all such applicants shall comply with the requirements of 
the previous proviso: Provided further, That for purposes of this or 
any other Act authorizing or appropriating funds for foreign 
operations, export financing, and related programs, the term 
`motivate', as it relates to family planning assistance, shall not be 
construed to prohibit the provision, consistent with local law, of 
information or counseling about all pregnancy options: Provided 
further, That nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to alter any 
existing statutory prohibitions against abortion under section 104 of 
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961:''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (2) None of the funds made available to carry out this part 
may be used to pay for the performance of involuntary

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \33\ The authorization figures for fiscal years 1986 and 1987 to 
carry out subsecs. (b) and (c) were added by sec. 303 of the 
International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985 (Public 
Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 190). Subsequently, sec. 404 of Public Law 99-529 
(100 Stat. 3341) replaced the $205,000,000 authorization for subsec.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \34\ 22 U.S.C. 2151c. Sec. 105 was added by sec. 2(3) of the FA Act 
of 1973.
    \35\ Sec. 305 of Public Law 94-161 (89 Stat. 849) added subsection 
designation ``(a)'' and new subsecs. (b) and (c).
    \36\ The authorization figures for fiscal years 1986 and 1987 were 
added by sec. 306 of the International Security and Development

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (b) \35\<SUP>,</SUP> \37\ Assistance provided under this 
section shall be used primarily to expand and strengthen 
nonformal education methods, especially those designed to 
improve productive skills of rural families and the urban poor 
and to provide them with useful information; to increase the 
relevance of formal education systems to the needs of the poor, 
especially at the primary level, through reform of curricula, 
teaching materials, and teaching methods, and improved teacher 
training; and to strengthen the management capabilities of 
institutions which enable the poor to participate in 
development. Assistance under this section shall also be 
provided for advanced education and training of people of 
developing countries in such disciplines as are required for

activities.\38\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \37\ Sec. 562 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and 
Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law 101-513; 104 
Stat. 2026), added a new chapter 10 to part I of this Act, providing 
for long-term development in sub-Saharan Africa, and made conforming 
amendments by striking out paragraph designation ``(1)'' and by 
striking out paragraph (2). Paragraph (2), previously added by sec. 201 
of Public Law 99-440 (100 Stat. 1094), formerly read as follows:
    ``(2)(A)(i) Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated to carry 
out this section for the fiscal years 1987, 1988, and 1989, not less 
than $4,000,000 shall be used in each such fiscal year to finance 
education, training, and scholarships for the victims of apartheid, 
including teachers and other educational professionals, who are 
attending universities and colleges in South Africa. Amounts available 
to carry out this subparagraph shall be provided in accordance with the 
provisions of section 802(c) of the International Security and 
Development Cooperation Act of 1985.
    ``(ii) Funds made available for each such fiscal year for purposes 
of chapter 4 of part II of this Act may be used to finance such 
education, training, and scholarships in lieu of an equal amount made 
available under this subparagraph.
    ``(B)(i) In addition to amounts used for purposes of subparagraph 
(A), the agency primarily responsible for administering this part, in 
collaboration with other appropriate departments or agencies of the 
United States, shall use assistance provided under this section or 
chapter 4 of part II of this Act to finance scholarships for students 
pursuing secondary school education in South Africa. The selection of 
scholarship recipients shall be by a nationwide panel or by regional 
panels appointed by the United States chief of diplomatic mission to 
South Africa.
    ``(ii) Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated to carry out 
this section and chapter 4 of part II of this Act for the fiscal years

    (c) \37\<SUP>,</SUP> \39\ * * * [Repealed--1979]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \39\ Subsec. (c), which authorized funds during fiscal year 1977 
and fiscal year 1978 for the southern African student program and the 
southern African training program, was repealed by sec. 122 of the 
International Development Cooperation Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 
Stat. 366).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sec. 106.\40\ Energy, Private Voluntary Organizations, and 
Selected Development Activities.--(a)(1)(A) \41\ The Congress 
finds that energy development and production are vital elements 
in the development process, that energy shortages in developing 
countries severely limit the development process in such 
countries, that two-thirds of the developing countries which 
import oil depend on it for at least 90 percent of the energy 
which their economies require, and that the dramatic increase 
in world oil prices since 1973 has resulted in considerable 
economic hardship for many developing countries. The Congress 
is concerned that the value and purpose of much of the 
assistance provided to developing countries under sections 103, 
104, and 105 are undermined by the inability of many developing 
countries to satisfy their energy requirements. Unless the 
energy deficit of the developing countries can be narrowed by 
more fully exploiting indigenous sources of energy such as oil, 
natural gas, and coal, scarce foreign exchange will 
increasingly have to be diverted to oil imports, primarily to 
the detriment of long-term development and economic growth.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \40\ 22 U.S.C. 2151d. Sec. 106, as added by Public Law 94-161 (89 
Stat. 849), was amended by sec. 104 of the International Development 
Cooperation Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 Stat. 360) by 
redesignating subsecs. (a) and (b) as (c) and (d) and by adding new 
subsecs. (a) and (b). Sec. 304(a) of the International Security and 
Development Cooperation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-533; 94 Stat. 3146) 
substituted the current section heading in lieu of ``Technical 
Assistance, Energy, Research, Reconstruction, and Selected Development 
Activities''. A prior version of sec. 106 (added in 1973 by Public Law 
93-189) had also been repealed by Public Law 94-161.
    See also the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-486; 106 
Stat. 2776), particularly title XII, as it relates to the export of 
renewable energy technologies, and title XIII, as it relates to the 
export of clean coal technology. See Legislation on Foreign Relations 
Through 2000, vol. IV, sec. L.
    \41\ Sec. 304(b) of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-533; 94 Stat. 3146) redesignated 
pars. (1), (2), (3), and (4) of subsec. (a) as subpars. (A), (B), (C), 
and (D), respectively; redesignated subpars. (A), (B), and (C) of 
former par. (3) as clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), respectively; and 
added a new par. (2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (B) \41\ The Congress recognizes that many developing 
countries lack access to the financial resources and technology 
necessary to locate, explore, and develop indigenous energy 
resources.
    (C) \41\ The Congress declares that there is potential for 
at least a moderate increase by 1990 in the production of 
energy for commercial use in the developing countries which are 
not members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting 
Countries. In addition, there is a compelling need for vigorous 
efforts to improve the available data on the location, scale, 
and commercial exploitability of potential oil, natural gas, 
and coal reserves in developing countries, especially those 
which are not members of the Organization of Petroleum 
Exporting Countries. The Congress further declares that there 
are many benefits to be gained by the developing countries and 
by the United States and other developed countries through 
expanded efforts to expedite the location, exploration, and 
development of potential sources of energy in developing 
countries. These benefits include, but are not limited to, the 
following:
          (i) \41\ The world's energy supply would be increased 
        and the fear of abrupt depletion would be lessened with 
        new energy production. This could have a positive 
        impact upon energy prices in international markets as 
        well as a positive effect upon the balance of payments 
        problems of many developing countries.
          (ii) \41\ Diversification of the world's supplies of 
        energy from fossil fuels would make all countries, 
        developing and developed, less susceptible to supply 
        interruptions and arbitrary production and pricing 
        policies.
          (iii) \41\ Even a moderate increase in energy 
        production in the developing countries would improve 
        their ability to expand commercial trade, foreign 
        investment, and technology transfer possibilities with 
        the United States and other developed countries.
    (D) \41\ Assistance for the production of energy from 
indigenous resources, as authorized by subsection (b) of this 
section, would be of direct benefit to the poor in developing 
countries because of the overwhelming impact of imported energy 
costs upon the lives of the poor and their ability to 
participate in development.
    (2) \41\ The Congress also finds that energy production 
from renewable, decentralized sources and energy conservation 
are vital elements in the development process. Inadequate 
access by the poor to energy sources as well as the prospect of 
depleted fossil fuel reserves and higher energy prices require 
an enhanced effort to expand the energy resources of developing 
countries through greater emphasis on renewable sources. 
Renewable and decentralized energy technologies have particular 
applicability for the poor, especially in rural areas.
    (b) \40\ (1) \42\ In order to help developing countries 
alleviate their energy problems by improving their ability to 
use indigenous energy resources to produce the energy needed by 
their economies, the President is authorized to furnish 
assistance, on such terms and conditions as he may determine, 
to enable such countries to prepare for and undertake 
development of their energy resources. Such assistance may 
include data collection and analysis, the training of skilled 
personnel, research on and development of suitable energy 
sources, and pilot projects to test new methods of energy 
production.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \42\ Sec. 304(c) of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-533; 94 Stat. 3146) redesignated 
pars. (1) and (2) of subsec. (b) as subpars. (A) and (B), respectively, 
and added a new par. (2). Subsequently, designation of subpar. (A) was 
struck out and subpar. (B) was repealed by sec. 1211(a)(2) of the 
International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985 (Public 
Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 279). Subpar. (B) previously read as follows: ``Of 
the funds made available to carry out this section, up to $7,000,000 
for the fiscal year 1981 shall be used for purposes of paragraph (A) to 
facilitate geological and geophysical survey work to locate potential 
oil, natural gas, and coal reserves and to encourage exploration for 
potential oil, natural gas, and coal reserves in developing countries 
which are not members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting 
Countries''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (2) \42\ The President is authorized to furnish assistance 
under this chapter for cooperative programs with developing 
countries in energy production and conservation through 
research on and development and use of small-scale, 
decentralized, renewable energy sources for rural areas carried 
out as integral parts of rural development efforts in 
accordance with section 103 of this Act. Such programs shall 
also be directed toward the earliest practicable development 
and use of energy technologies which are environmentally 
acceptable, require minimum capital investment, are most 
acceptable to and affordable by the people using them, are 
simple and inexpensive to use and maintain, and are 
transferable from one region of the world to another. Such 
programs may include research on and the development, 
demonstration, and application of suitable energy technologies 
(including use of wood); analysis of energy uses, needs, and 
resources; training and institutional development; and 
scientific interchange.
    (c) \43\ The agency primarily responsible for administering 
this part and the Department of Energy shall coordinate with 
one another, to the maximum extent possible, the planning and 
implementation of energy programs under this chapter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \43\ Sec. 304 of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-533; 94 Stat. 3146) redesignated 
subsec. (c) as subsec. (d), amended former subsec. (d) and redesignated 
it as subsec. (e), and added a new subsec. (c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (d) \43\ The President is authorized to furnish assistance, 
on such terms and conditions as he may determine, for the 
following activities, to the extent that such activities are 
not authorized by sections 103, 104, and 105 of this Act:
          (1) programs of technical cooperation and 
        development, particularly the development efforts of 
        United States private and voluntary agencies and 
        regional and international development organizations;
          (2) \44\ programs of research into, and evaluation 
        of, the process of economic development in less 
        developed countries and areas, into the factors 
        affecting the relative success and costs of development 
        activities, and into the means, techniques, and such 
        other aspects of development assistance as the 
        President may determine in order to render such 
        assistance of increasing value and benefit;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \44\ Sec. 104(b)(1) of the International Development Cooperation 
Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 Stat. 360) struck out par. (2), which 
concerned various programs designed to alleviate energy problems 
experienced by developing countries, and redesignated pars. (3) through 
(6) as pars. (2) through (5), respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (3) \44\ programs of reconstruction following natural 
        or manmade disasters and programs of disaster 
        preparedness,\45\ including the prediction of and 
        contingency planning for natural disasters abroad;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \45\ The reference to the program of disaster preparedness was 
added by sec. 304(a) of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1981 (Public Law 97-113; 95 Stat. 1533).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (4) \44\ programs designed to help solve special 
        development problems in the poorest countries and to 
        make possible proper utilization of infrastructure and 
        related projects funded with earlier United States 
        assistance; and
          (5) \44\ programs of urban development, with 
        particular emphasis on small, labor intensive 
        enterprises, marketing systems for small producers, and 
        financial and other institutions which enable the urban 
        poor to participate in the economic and social 
        development of their country.
    (e) \43\ (1) There are authorized to be appropriated to the 
President for purposes of this section, in addition to funds 
otherwise available for such purposes, $207,000,000 for fiscal 
year 1986 and $207,000,000 for fiscal year 1987.\46\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \46\ The authorization figures for fiscal years 1986 and 1987 were 
added by sec. 309(b) of the International Security and Development Act 
of 1985 (Public Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 190). Authorizations for recent 
years included the following: fiscal year 1976--$99,550,000; fiscal

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (1) the development of micro- and small enterprises 
        is a vital factor in the stable growth of developing 
        countries and in the development and stability of a 
        free, open, and equitable international economic 
        system; and
          (2) it is, therefore, in the best interests of the 
        United States to assist the development of the 
        enterprises of the poor in developing countries and to 
        engage the United States private sector in that 
        process.
    (b) Program.--To carry out the policy set forth in 
subsection (a), the President is authorized to provide 
assistance to increase the availability of credit to micro- and 
small enterprises lacking full access to credit, including

        the purpose of expanding the availability of credit to 
        micro- and small enterprises;
          (2) training programs for lenders in order to enable 
        them to better meet the credit needs of 
        microentrepreneurs; and
          (3) training programs for microentrepreneurs in order 
        to enable them to make better use of credit and to 
        better manage their enterprises.
    (c) Eligibility Criteria.--The Administrator of the agency 
primarily responsible for administering this part shall 
establish criteria for determining which credit institutions 
described in subsection (b)(1) are eligible to carry out 
activities, with respect to micro- and small enterprises, 
assisted under this section. Such criteria may include the 
following:
          (1) The extent to which the recipients of credit from 
        the entity do not have access to the local formal 
        financial sector.
          (2) The extent to which the recipients of credit from 
        the entity are among the poorest people in the country.
          (3) The extent to which the entity is oriented toward 
        working directly with poor women.
          (4) The extent to which the entity recovers its cost 
        of lending.
          (5) The extent to which the entity implements a plan 
        to become financially sustainable.
    (d) Additional Requirement.--Assistance provided under this 
section may only be used to support micro- and small enterprise 
programs and may not be used to support programs not directly 
related to the purposes described in subsection (b).
    (e) Procurement Provision.--Assistance may be provided 
under this section without regard to section 604(a).
    (f) Availability of Funds.--

        authorized to be available $1,500,000 for each of

contained in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to transfer funds, 
consults with and provides a written policy justification to the 
Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
Senate.''.

furnished, except that such costs borne by such country may be

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \55\ 22 U.S.C. 2151h. Sec. 110 was added by sec. 2(3) of the FA Act 
of 1973. Sec. 1211(a)(3) of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1985 deleted par. (b) and removed the ``(a)'' 
designation from the preceding paragraph. Par. (b) previously read as 
follows:

Government under sections 103 through 106 of this Act for a project, 
for a period exceeding thirty-six consecutive months, without further 
justification satisfactory to the Congress and efforts being made to 
obtain sources of financing within that country and from other foreign 
countries and multilateral organizations.''.
    The initial phrase of subsec. (b), which had been added by Public 
Law 95-88 (91 Stat. 535), was struck by sec. 112(b)(2) of the 
International Development and Food Assistance Act of 1978 (92 Stat. 
949). It previously read as follows:

849) and previously appeared at this point, was struck by sec. 
112(b)(1) of the International Development and Food Assistance Act of 
1978 (92 Stat. 949): ``and except that the President may waive this 
cost-sharing requirement in the case of a project or activity in a

of this Act determines is relatively least developed based on the 
United Nations Conference on Trade and Development list of `relatively 
least developed countries'.''.

will enable and encourage greater numbers of the poor to help 
themselves toward a better life.\59\ In meeting the requirement

than $20,000,000 of the funds made available for the purposes of this 
chapter shall be available during the fiscal years 1974 and 1975 only 
for assistance in the less developed countries which will enable and 
encourage greater numbers of the poor to help themselves toward a 
better life.''.
    \58\ The words ``technical and capital assistance in the 
development and use'' were inserted in lieu of ``assistance in the 
development'' by sec. 107(a) of the International Development and Food 
Assistance Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-88; 91 Stat. 535).
    \59\ A sentence that earmarked funds specifically for technical 
assistance to carry out the purposes of this section and had previously 
appeared at this point was repealed by sec. 122 of the International 
Development Cooperation Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 Stat. 366).
    \60\ Sec. 401(c)(2) of the Support for Overseas Cooperative

                sustained efforts to combat particularly severe 
                violations of religious freedom (as defined in 
                section 3 of the International Religious 
                Freedom Act of 1998), when such efforts could 
                have been reasonably undertaken.
    (d) \70\ The Secretary of State shall transmit to the 
Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
Foreign Relations of the Senate, by February 25 \74\ of each 
year, a full and complete report regarding--

    \74\ Sec. 2216(1) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, 
Fiscal Years 1998 and 1999 (subdivision B of division G of Public Law 
105-277; 112 Stat. 2681), struck out ``January 31'' and inserted in 
lieu thereof ``February 25''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (1) \75\ the status of internationally recognized 
        human rights, within the meaning of subsection (a)--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \75\ Paragraph (1) was amended and restated by sec. 504 of the 
International Development Cooperation Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 
Stat. 378) by adding the requirement contained in clause (B). Sec. 504 
also required a report from the Secretary of State by November 15, 
1979, on the impact on the foreign relations of the United States of 
the reports required by this Act on the human rights practices of 
foreign governments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  (A) in countries that receive assistance 
                under this part, and
                  (B) in all other foreign countries which are

          (2) \76\ wherever applicable, practices regarding 
        coercion in population control, including coerced 
        abortion and involuntary sterilization;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \76\ A new para. (2) was added and the former para. (2) was 
redesignated as para. (3) by sec. 127 of the Foreign Relations 
Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989 (Public Law 100-204; 101 
Stat. 1342). Subsequently, sec. 201(a) of Public Law 104-319 (110 Stat. 
3864) struck out ``and'' at the end of para. (2), redesignated para. 
(3) as para. (5), and added new paras. (3) and (4). See also footnote 
77.

Act, Fiscal Years 1998 and 1999 (subdivision B of division G of Public 
Law 105-277; 112 Stat. 2681), redesignated paras. (3) through (6) as 
paras. (4) through (7) and added a new para. (3). At the time of 
enactment of Public Law 105-277, however, no para. (6) was contained in 
the section. Public Law 105-292 added para. (6) later, shown here 
redesignated as para. (7).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  (A) whether such country has adopted policies 
                to protect children from exploitation in the

                acceptable working conditions; and
                  (B) the extent to which each country enforces 
                such policies, including the adequacy of the 
                resources and oversight dedicated to such 
                policies;
          (4) \76\<SUP>,</SUP> \77\ the votes of each member of 
        the United Nations Commission on Human Rights on all

    \78\ Sec. 102(d)(1) of the International Religious Freedom Act of 
1998 (Public Law 105-292; 112 Stat. 2794) struck out ``and'' at the end 
of para. (4); replaced a period at the end of this para. (5) with ``; 
and''; and added a new para. (6). Paras. (4) and (5), however, had 
already been redesignated as paras. (5) and (6) by sec. 2216 of Public 
Law 105-277. Sec. 2216 of Public Law 105-277 also redesignated a then-
nonexistent para. (6) as para. (7). The amendment has been made to the 
subsequently enacted para. (6), shown here as para. (7).
    Sec. 806(a) of the Admiral James W. Nance and Meg Donovan Foreign 
Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 2000 and 2001 (H.R. 3427, 
enacted by reference in sec. 1000(a)(7) of Public Law 106-113; 113 
Stat. 1536), struck out ``and'' at the end of para. (6), struck out a 
period at the end of para. (7) and inserted in lieu thereof ``and'', 
and added a new para. (8).

          (6) \76\<SUP>,</SUP> \78\ the steps the Administrator 
        has taken to alter United States programs under this 
        part in any country because of human rights 
        considerations;

        crimes against humanity, and evidence of acts that may 
        constitute genocide (as defined in article 2 of the 
        Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the 
        Crime of Genocide and modified by the United States 
        instrument of ratification to that convention and 
        section 2(a) of the Genocide Convention Implementation 
        Act of 1987).
    (e) \70\<SUP>,</SUP> \79\ The President is authorized and 
encouraged to use not less than $3,000,000 of the funds made 
available under this chapter, chapter 10 of this part,\80\ and 
chapter 4 of part II for each fiscal year for studies to 
identify, and for openly carrying out, programs and activities 
which will encourage or promote increased adherence to civil 
and political rights, including the right to free religious 
belief and practice,\81\ as set forth in the Universal 
Declaration of Human Rights, in countries eligible for 
assistance under this chapter or under chapter 10 of this part, 
except that funds made available under chapter 10 of this part 
may only be used under this subsection with respect to 
countries in sub-Saharan Africa. None of these funds may be 
used, directly or indirectly, to influence the outcome of any 
election in any country.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \79\ The first phrase, ``The President is authorized and encouraged 
to use not less than'', was added by sec. 109(1) of the International 
Development and Food Assistance Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-424; 92 
Stat. 947).
    The authorization level of $3,000,000 and the reference to funds 
available under chapter 4 of part II were added by sec. 1002(a)(1) of 
the Department of State Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1984 and 1985 
(Public Law 98-164; 97 Stat. 1052). Previously, amendments by sec. 306 
of the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1981 
(Public Law 97-113; 95 Stat. 1533), sec. 504 of Public Law 96-533 (94 
Stat. 378), and sec. 109(2) of Public Law 95-424 (92 Stat. 947) 
authorized the use of $1,500,000 for this purpose in fiscal years 1982-
1983, fiscal year 1981, and fiscal year 1979, respectively. The 
original text of subsec. (e), added by sec. 111 of Public Law 95-88 (91 
Stat. 537), authorized the use of $750,000 for this purpose during 
fiscal year 1978.
    The authorization level of $1,500,000 for the fiscal year 1986 and 
for each fiscal year thereafter was added by sec. 202 of Public Law 99-
440 (100 Stat. 1095).
    Paragraph designation ``(1)'' and a new par. (2) were added to 
subsec. (e) by sec. 1002(a)(3) of the Department of State Authorization 
Act, Fiscal Years 1984 and 1985 (Public Law 98-164; 97 Stat. 1052). 
Par. (2) subsequently was repealed by sec. 4(a)(3)(B) of the South 
African Democratic Transition Support Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-149; 
107 Stat. 1505), and the designation for par. (1) was struck out.
    Par. (2) of subsec. (e) had stated a priority, with supporting 
guidelines and conditions, for giving grants to ``nongovernmental 
organizations in South Africa promoting political, economic, social, 
juridical, and humanitarian efforts to foster a just society and to 
help victims of apartheid.''.
    Section 4(a)(3)(B) of the South African Democratic Transition 
Support Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-149; 107 Stat. 1505) also repealed 
subsec. (f) and (g) of sec. 116, which had been added by sec. 202(b) of 
Public Law 99-440 (100 Stat. 1095).
    Subsec. (f) directed not less than $500,000 under section (e)(2)(A) 
to be used ``for direct legal and other assistance to political 
detainees and prisoners and their families, including the investigation 
of the killing of protesters and prisoners, and for support for actions 
of black-led community organizations to resist, through nonviolent 
means, the enforcement of apartheid policies * * *''.
    Subsec. (g) directed $175,000 each fiscal year to ``be used for 
direct assistance to families of victims of violence such as 
`necklacing' and other such inhumane acts'', and another $175,000 to 
``be made available to black groups in South Africa which are actively 
working toward a multi-racial solution to the sharing of political 
power in that country through nonviolent, constructive means.''.
    \80\ Sec. 562 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and 
Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law 101-513; 104 
Stat. 2026), added a new chapter 10 to part I of this Act, providing 
for long-term development in sub-Saharan Africa, and made a conforming 
amendment by inserting ``, chapter 10 of this part,'' here, and text at 
the end of the first sentence beginning at ``or under chapter 10''.
    \81\ Sec. 501(b) of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 
(Public Law 105-292; 112 Stat. 2811) inserted ``, including the right 
to free religious belief and practice'' after ``adherence to civil and 
political rights''. Subsec. (a) of that sec. provided the following:
    ``sec. 501. assistance for promoting religious freedom.
    ``(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

          ``(1) In many nations where severe violations of religious 
        freedom occur, there is not sufficient statutory legal 
        protection for religious minorities or there is not sufficient 
        cultural and social understanding of international norms of 
        religious freedom.
          ``(2) Accordingly, in the provision of foreign assistance, 
        the United States should make a priority of promoting and 
        developing legal protections and cultural respect for religious 
        freedom.''.

(division A of Public Law 106-386; 114 Stat. 1471) amended and restated 
subsec. (f). Originally added by sec. 597 of the Foreign Operations, 
Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2000 (H.R. 
3422, enacted by reference in sec. 1000(a)(2) of Public Law 106-113;

        such trafficking. The assessment shall address the 
        following:
                  (i) Whether government authorities in that 
                country participate in, facilitate, or condone

                  (ii) Which government authorities in that

                of such country or with extradition treaties to 
                which such country is a party, whether the 
                government of that country is taking all 
                appropriate measures to modify or replace such 
                laws and treaties so as to permit such

                trafficking in persons.
                  (viii) Whether the government of that country 
                refrains from prosecuting victims of severe 
                forms of trafficking in persons due to such 
                victims having been trafficked, and refrains 
                from other discriminatory treatment of such 
                victims.

                recognizes the rights of victims of severe 
                forms of trafficking in persons and ensures 
                their access to justice.
          (C) Such other information relating to trafficking in 
        persons as the Secretary of State considers 
        appropriate.
    (2) In compiling data and making assessments for the 
purposes of paragraph (1), United States diplomatic mission 
personnel shall consult with human rights organizations and 
other appropriate nongovernmental organizations.
    Sec. 117.\83\ Assistance for Disadvantaged South Africans. 
* * * [Repealed--1993]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \83\ Formerly at 22 U.S.C. 2151o. Sec. 117 was repealed by sec. 
4(a)(3)(B) of the South African Democratic Transition Support Act of 
1993 (Public Law 103-149; 107 Stat. 1505). It had been added originally 
by sec. 201(b) of Public Law 99-440 (100 Stat. 1094). Sec. 117 provided 
assistance for disadvantaged South Africans through South African 
nongovernmental organizations, such as the Educational Opportunities 
Council, the South African Institute of Race Relations, READ, 
professional teachers' unions, the Outreach Program of the University 
of the Western Cape, the Funda Center in Soweto, SACHED, UPP Trust, 
TOPS, the Wilgespruit Fellowship Center (WFC), and civic and other 
organizations working at the community level which did not receive 
funds from the Government of South Africa.
    A previous sec. 117, relating to infant nutrition, was repealed in 
1978.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sec. 117.\84\ Environment and Natural Resources.--(a) The 
Congress finds that if current trends in the degradation of 
natural resources in developing countries continue, they will 
severely undermine the best efforts to meet basic human needs, 
to achieve sustained economic growth, and to prevent 
international tension and conflict. The Congress also finds 
that the world faces enormous, urgent, and complex problems, 
with respect to natural resources, which require new forms of 
cooperation between the United States and developing countries 
to prevent such problems from becoming unmanageable. It is, 
therefore, in the economic and security interests of the United 
States to provide leadership both in thoroughly reassessing 
policies relating to natural resources and the environment, and 
in cooperating extensively with developing countries in order 
to achieve environmentally sound development.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \84\ 22 U.S.C. 2151p. Sec. 117 was redesignated from being sec. 118 
by sec. 301(1) of Public Law 99-529, resulting in the creation of two 
sections 117. Sec. 301(2) of Public Law 99-529 (100 Stat. 3014) further 
deleted subsec. (d) of that section, which dealt with tropical forests, 
and then sec. 301(3) of Public Law 99-529 added a new section 118 
entitled ``Tropical Forests''. This section, as added by sec. 113 of 
Public Law 95-88 (91 Stat. 537) and amended by sec. 110 of Public Law 
95-424 (92 Stat. 948) and sec. 122 of Public Law 96-53 (93 Stat. 948), 
was further amended and restated by sec. 307 of the International 
Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1981 (Public Law 97-113; 95 
Stat. 1533). This section previously read as follows:
    ``Sec. 118. Environment and Natural Resources.--(a) The President 
is authorized to furnish assistance under this part for developing and 
strengthening the capacity of less developed countries to protect and 
manage their environment and natural resources. Special efforts shall 
be made to maintain and where possible restore the land, vegetation, 
water, wildlife and other resources upon which depend economic growth 
and human well-being especially that of the poor.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (a) Importance of Forests and Tree Cover.--In enacting 
section 103(b)(3) of this Act the Congress recognized the 
importance of forests and tree cover to the developing 
countries. The Congress is particularly concerned about the 
continuing and accelerating alteration, destruction, and loss 
of tropical forests in developing countries, which pose a 
serious threat to development and the environment. Tropical 
forest destruction and loss--
          (1) result in shortages of wood, especially wood for 
        fuel; loss of biologically productive wetlands; 
        siltation of lakes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems; 
        floods; destruction of indigenous peoples; extinction 
        of plant and animal species; reduced capacity for food 
        production; and loss of genetic resources; and
          (2) can result in desertification and destabilization 
        of the earth's climate.
Properly managed tropical forests provide a sustained flow of 
resources essential to the economic growth of developing 
countries, as well as genetic resources of value to developed 
and developing countries alike.
    (b) Priorities.--The concerns expressed in subsection (a) 
and the recommendations of the United States Interagency Task 
Force on Tropical Forests shall be given high priority by the 
President--
          (1) in formulating and carrying out programs and 
        policies with respect to developing countries, 
        including those relating to bilateral and multilateral 
        assistance and those relating to private sector 
        activities; and
          (2) in seeking opportunities to coordinate public and 
        private development and investment activities which 
        affect forests in developing countries.
    (c) Assistance to Developing Countries.--In providing 
assistance to developing countries, the President shall do the 
following:
          (1) Place a high priority on conservation and 
        sustainable management of tropical forests.
          (2) To the fullest extent feasible, engage in 
        dialogues and exchanges of information with recipient 
        countries--
                  (A) which stress the importance of conserving 
                and sustainably managing forest resources for 
                the long-term economic benefit of those 
                countries, as well as the irreversible losses 
                associated with forest destruction, and
                  (B) which identify and focus on policies of 
                those countries which directly or indirectly 
                contribute to deforestation.
          (3) To the fullest extent feasible, support projects 
        and activities--
                  (A) which offer employment and income 
                alternatives to those who otherwise would cause 
                destruction and loss of forests, and
                  (B) which help developing countries identify 
                and implement alternatives to colonizing 
                forested areas.
          (4) To the fullest extent feasible, support training 
        programs, educational efforts, and the establishment or 
        strengthening of institutions which increase the 
        capacity of developing countries to formulate forest 
        policies, engage in relevant land-use planning, and 
        otherwise improve the management of their forests.
          (5) To the fullest extent feasible, help end 
        destructive slash-and-burn agriculture by supporting 
        stable and productive farming practices in areas 
        already cleared or degraded and on lands which 
        inevitably will be settled, with special emphasis on 
        demonstrating the feasibility of agroforestry and other 
        techniques which use technologies and methods suited to 
        the local environment and traditional agricultural 
        techniques and feature close consultation with and 
        involvement of local people.
          (6) To the fullest extent feasible, help conserve 
        forests which have not yet been degraded, by helping to 
        increase production on lands already cleared or 
        degraded through support of reforestation, fuelwood, 
        and other sustainable forestry projects and practices, 
        making sure that local people are involved at all 
        stages of project design and implementation.
          (7) To the fullest extent feasible, support projects 
        and other activities to conserve forested watersheds 
        and rehabilitate those which have been deforested, 
        making sure that local people are involved at all 
        stages of project design and implementation.
          (8) To the fullest extent feasible, support training, 
        research, and other actions which lead to sustainable 
        and more environmentally sound practices for timber 
        harvesting, removal, and processing, including 
        reforestation, soil conservation, and other activities 
        to rehabilitate degraded forest lands.
          (9) To the fullest extent feasible, support research 
        to expand knowledge of tropical forests and identify 
        alternatives which will prevent forest destruction, 
        loss, or degradation, including research in 
        agroforestry, sustainable management of natural 
        forests, small-scale farms and gardens, small-scale 
        animal husbandry, wider application of adopted 
        traditional practices, and suitable crops and crop 
        combinations.
          (10) To the fullest extent feasible, conserve 
        biological diversity in forest areas by--
                  (A) supporting and cooperating with United 
                States Government agencies, other donors (both 
                bilateral and multilateral), and other 
                appropriate governmental, intergovernmental, 
                and nongovernmental organizations in efforts to 
                identify, establish, and maintain a 
                representative network of protected tropical 
                forest ecosystems on a worldwide basis;
                  (B) whenever appropriate, making the 
                establishment of protected areas a condition of 
                support for activities involving forest 
                clearance of degradation; and
                  (C) helping developing countries identify 
                tropical forest ecosystems and species in need 
                of protection and establish and maintain 
                appropriate protected areas.
          (11) To the fullest extent feasible, engage in 
        efforts to increase the awareness of United States 
        Government agencies and other donors, both bilateral 
        and multilateral, of the immediate and long-term value 
        of tropical forests.
          (12) To the fullest extent feasible, utilize the 
        resources and abilities of all relevant United States 
        Government agencies.
          (13) Require that any program or project under this 
        chapter significantly affecting tropical forests 
        (including projects involving the planting of exotic 
        plant species)--

                alternatives available to achieve the best 
                sustainable use of the land, and
                  (B) take full account of the environmental 
                impacts of the proposed activities on 
                biological diversity,
        as provided for in the environmental procedures of the 
        Agency for International Development.
          (14) Deny assistance under this chapter for--
                  (A) the procurement or use of logging 
                equipment, unless an environmental assessment 
                indicates that all timber harvesting operations 
                involved will be conducted in an 
                environmentally sound manner which minimizes 
                forest destruction and that the proposed 
                activity will produce positive economic 
                benefits and sustainable forest management 
                systems; and

identification of and control over the receipt and expenditure of those 
funds.
    ``(e) Grants shall be made under this section to Sahel Development 
Program host governments in order to help them enhance their

the economic development of countries and areas, with emphasis 
upon assisting long range plans and programs designed to 
develop economic resources and increase productive capacities. 
The President shall determine the interest payable on any loan. 
In making loans under this chapter, the President shall 
consider the economic circumstances of the borrower and other 
relevant factors, including the capacity of the recipient 
country to repay the loan at a reasonable rate of interest, 
except that loans may not be made at a rate of interest of less 
than 3 per centum per annum commencing not later than ten years 
following the date on which the funds are initially made

President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, 
officers assigned to the Committee shall be so assigned by the 
President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.

(Public Law 95-424; 92 Stat. 941).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sec. 123.\99\ Private and Voluntary Organizations and 
Cooperatives in Overseas Development.--(a) The Congress finds 
that the participation of rural and urban poor people in their 
countries' development can be assisted and accelerated in an 
effective manner through an increase in activities planned and 
carried out by private and voluntary organizations and 
cooperatives. Such organizations and cooperatives, embodying 
the American spirit of self-help and assistance to others to 
improve their lives and incomes, constitute an important means 
of mobilizing private American financial and human resources to 
benefit poor people in developing countries. The Congress 
declares that it is in the interest of the United States that 
such organizations and cooperatives expand their overseas 
development efforts without compromising their private and 
independent nature. The Congress further declares that the 
financial resources of such organizations and cooperatives 
should be supplemented by the contribution of public funds for 
the purpose of undertaking development activities in accordance 
with the principles set forth in section 102 and, if necessary 
and determined on a case-by-case basis, for the purpose of 
sharing the cost of developing programs related to such 
activities.\100\ The Congress urges the Administrator of the 
agency primarily responsible for administering this part, in 
implementing programs authorized under this part, to draw on 
the resources of private and voluntary organizations and 
cooperatives to plan and carry out development activities and 
to establish simplified procedures for the development and 
approval of programs to be carried out by such private and 
voluntary organizations and cooperatives as have demonstrated a 
capacity to undertake effective development activities.\101\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \99\ 22 U.S.C. 2151u. Sec. 123 was added by sec. 102(e) of the 
International Development and Food Assistance Act of 1978 (Public Law 
95-424; 92 Stat. 941).
    Title II of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related 
Programs Appropriations Act, 2001 (H.R. 5526, as introduced on October 
24, 2000, enacted by reference in sec. 101(a) of Public Law 106-429; 
114 Stat. 1900A-8; 22 U.S.C. 2151u note), provided the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 ``PRIVATE AND VOLUNTARY ORGANIZATIONS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ``None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by 
this Act for development assistance may be made available to any United 
States private and voluntary organization, except any cooperative 
development organization, which obtains less than 20 percent of its 
total annual funding for international activities from sources other 
than the United States Government: Provided, That the Administrator of 
the Agency for International Development, after informing the 
Committees on Appropriations, may, on a case-by-case basis, waive the 
restriction contained in this paragraph, after taking into account the 
effectiveness of the overseas development activities of the 
organization, its level of volunteer support, its financial viability 
and stability, and the degree of its dependence for its financial 
support on the agency.
    ``Funds appropriated or otherwise made available under title II of 
this Act should be made available to private and voluntary 
organizations at a level which is at least equivalent to the level 
provided in fiscal year 1995.''.
    \100\ The words to this point beginning with ``and, if necessary * 
* *'' were added by sec. 307(1) of the International Security and 
Development Cooperation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-533; 94 Stat. 3147).

*'' were added by sec. 307(2) of the International Security and 
Development Cooperation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-533; 94 Stat. 3147).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (b) In order to further the efficient use of United States 
voluntary contributions for development, relief, and 
rehabilitation of friendly peoples, the President is authorized 
to use funds made available for the purposes of this chapter 
and chapter 10 of this part \102\ to pay transportation charges 
on shipments by the American National Red Cross and by United 
States voluntary agencies registered with the Agency for 
International Development.\103\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \102\ Sec. 562 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and 
Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law 101-513; 104 
Stat. 2026), added a new chapter 10 to part I of this Act, providing 
for long-term development in sub-Saharan Africa, and made a conforming 
amendment by inserting ``and chapter 10 of this part'' here.
    \103\ This reference to the Agency for International Development 
was substituted in lieu of a reference to the Advisory Committee on 
Voluntary Foreign Aid by sec. 121 of the International Development 
Cooperation Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 Stat. 366).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (c) Reimbursement under this section may be provided for 
transportation charges on shipments from United States ports, 
or in the case of excess or surplus property supplied by the 
United States from foreign ports, to ports of entry abroad or 
to points of entry abroad in cases (1) of landlocked countries, 
(2) where ports cannot be used effectively because of natural 
or other disturbances, (3) where carriers to a specified 
country are unavailable, or (4) where a substantial savings in 
costs or time can be effected by the utilization of points of 
entry other than ports.
    (d) Where practicable, the President shall make 
arrangements with the receiving country for free entry of such 
shipments and for the making available by the country of local 
currencies for the purpose of defraying the transportation 
costs of such shipments from the port or point of entry of the 
receiving country to the designated shipping point of the 
consignee.
    (e) \104\ Prohibitions on assistance to countries contained 
in this or any other Act shall not be construed to prohibit 
assistance by the agency primarily responsible for 
administering this part in support of programs of private and 
voluntary organizations and cooperatives already being 
supported prior to the date such prohibition becomes 
applicable. The President shall take into consideration, in any 
case in which statutory prohibitions on assistance would be 
applicable but for this subsection, whether continuation of 
support for such programs is in the national interest of the 
United States. If the President continues such support after 
such date, he shall prepare and transmit, not later than one 
year \105\ after such date, to the Speaker of the House of 
Representatives and to the chairman of the Committee on Foreign 
Relations of the Senate a report setting forth the reasons for 
such continuation.

    \104\ Subsec. (e) was added by sec. 307(3) of the International 
Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-533; 94 
Stat. 3147).
    See a similar authority in the Foreign Operations, Export 
Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2000 (H.R. 3422, as 
introduced on November 17, 1999, enacted by reference in sec. 
1000(a)(2) of Public Law 106-113; 113 Stat. 1535), in section 541.
    \105\ Sec. 309(a) of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 190), substituted 
the words ``one year'' in lieu of ``thirty days''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (f) \106\ For each of the fiscal years 1986 through 1989 
\107\ funds in an amount not less than thirteen and one-half 
percent of the aggregate amount appropriated for that fiscal 
year to carry out sections 103(a), 104(b), 104(c), 105, 106, 
121, and 491 of this Act shall be made available for the 
activities of private and voluntary organizations, and the 
President shall seek to channel funds in an amount not less 
than sixteen percent of such aggregate amount for the 
activities of private and voluntary organizations. Funds made 
available under chapter 4 of part II of this Act for the 
activities of private and voluntary organizations may be 
considered in determining compliance with the requirements of 
this subsection.\107\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \106\ Subsecs. (f) and (g) were added by sec. 309 of the 
International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1981 (Public 
Law 97-113; 95 Stat. 1535). Subsec. (g) was repealed by title II of the 
Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 1999 (division A, sec. 101(d) of Public Law 105-
277; 112 Stat. 2681). Subsec. (g), as amended, had read as follows:
    ``(g) After December 31, 1984, funds made available to carry out 
section 103(a), 104(b), 104(c), 105, 106, 491, or 496 of this Act may 
not be made available for programs of any United States private and 
voluntary organization which does not obtain at least 20 percent of its 
total annual financial support for its international activities from 
sources other than the United States Government, except that this 
restriction does not apply with respect to programs which, as of that 
date, are receiving financial support from the agency primarily 
responsible for administering this part. The Administrator of the 
agency primarily responsible for administering this part may, on a 
case-by-case basis, waive the restriction established by this 
subsection, after taking into account the effectiveness of the overseas 
development activities of the organization, its level of volunteer 
support, its financial viability and stability, and the degree of its 
dependence for its financial support on the agency primarily 
responsible for administering this part.''.
    \107\ Sec. 309(b) of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 190), amended sec. 
123(f) by striking out ``1982, 1983 and 1984'' and substituting ``1986 
through 1989''; by striking out ``twelve'' and by inserting in lieu 
thereof ``thirteen and one half'', and by adding the current last 
sentence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (g) \106\ * * * [Repealed--1998]
    (h) \108\ The Congress recognizes that, in addition to 
their role in social and economic development, cooperatives 
provide an opportunity for people to participate directly in 
democratic decisionmaking. Therefore, assistance under this 
chapter shall be provided to rural and urban cooperatives which 
offer large numbers of low- and middle-income people in 
developing countries an opportunity to participate directly in 
democratic decisionmaking. Such assistance shall be designed to 
encourage the adoption of self-help, private sector cooperative 
techniques and practices which have been successful in the 
United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \108\ Subsec. (h) was added by sec. 310 of Public Law 99-83 (99 
Stat. 190).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sec. 124.\109\ Relatively Least Developed Countries.--(a) 
Relatively least developed countries (as determined on the 
basis of criteria comparable to those used for the United 
Nations General Assembly list of ``least developed countries'') 
are characterized by extreme poverty, very limited 
infrastructure, and limited administrative capacity to 
implement basic human needs growth strategies. In such 
countries special measures may be necessary to insure the full 
effectiveness of assistance furnished under this part.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \109\ 22 U.S.C. 2151v. Sec. 124 was added by sec. 112(a)(1) of the 
International Development and Food Assistance Act of 1978 (Public Law 
95-424; 92 Stat. 948).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (b) For the purpose of promoting economic growth in these 
countries, the President is authorized and encouraged to make 
assistance under this chapter available on a grant basis to the 
maximum extent that is consistent with the attainment of United 
States development objectives.
    (c) \110\ (1) The Congress recognizes that the relatively 
least developed countries have virtually no access to private 
international capital markets. Insofar as possible, prior 
assistance terms should be consistent with present grant 
assistance terms for relatively least developed countries. 
Therefore, notwithstanding section 620(r) of this Act and 
section 321 of the International Development and Food 
Assistance Act of 1975 but subject to paragraph (2) of this 
subsection, the President on a case-by-case basis, taking into 
account the needs of the country for financial resources and 
the commitment of the country to the development objectives set 
forth in sections 101 and 102--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \110\ Sec. 112(a)(2) of the International Development and Food 
Assistance Act of 1978 (92 Stat. 949) stated that the authority granted 
by subsec. (c) shall not become effective until October 1, 1979.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (A) may permit a relatively least developed country 
        to place amounts, which would otherwise be paid to the 
        United States as payments on principal or interest on 
        liability incurred by that country under this part (or 
        any predecessor legislation) into local currency 
        accounts (in equivalent amounts of local currencies as 
        determined by the official exchange rate for United 
        States dollars) for use by the relatively least 
        developed country, with the concurrence of the 
        Administrator of the agency primarily responsible for 
        administering this part, for activities which are 
        consistent with section 102; and
          (B) may waive interest payments on liability incurred 
        by a relatively least developed country under this part 
        (or any predecessor legislation) if the President 
        determines that that country would be unable to use for 
        development purposes the equivalent amounts of local 
        currencies which could be made available under 
        subparagraph (A).
    (2) The aggregate amount of interest waived and interest 
and principal paid into local currency accounts under this 
subsection in any fiscal year may not exceed the amount 
approved for such purpose in an Act appropriating funds to 
carry out this chapter for that fiscal year, which amount may 
not exceed the amount authorized to be so approved by the 
annual authorizing legislation for development assistance 
programs. Amounts due and payable during fiscal year 1981 to 
the United States from relatively least developed countries on 
loans made under this part (or any predecessor legislation) are 
authorized to be approved for use, in accordance with the 
provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection, in an amount 
not to exceed $10,845,000.\111\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \111\ This sentence was added by sec. 109 of the International 
Development Cooperation Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 Stat. 363). 
The authorization figure for fiscal year 1981 was substituted in lieu 
of the fiscal year 1980 authorization ($18,800,000) by sec. 308 of the 
International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1980 (Public 
Law 96-533; 94 Stat. 3147).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (3) In exercising the authority granted by this subsection, 
the President should act in concert with other creditor 
countries.
    (d) The President may on a case-by-case basis waive the 
requirement of section 110(a) for financial or ``in kind'' 
contributions in the case of programs, projects, or activities 
in relatively least developed countries.
    (e) Section 110(b) shall not apply with respect to grants 
to relatively least developed countries.
    Sec. 125.\112\ Project and Program Evaluation.--(a) The 
Administrator of the agency primarily responsible for 
administering this part is directed to improve the assessment 
and evaluation of the programs and projects carried out by that 
agency under this chapter. The Administrator shall consult with 
the appropriate committees of the Congress in establishing 
standards for such evaluations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \112\ 22 U.S.C. 2151w. Sec. 125 was added by sec. 113 of the 
International Development and Food Assistance Act of 1978 (Public Law 
95-424; 92 Stat. 950). The responsibility of the Administrator 
mentioned in this section was transferred to the Director of IDCA, 
pursuant to sec. 6 of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1979 (establishing 
IDCA). The Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1979 ceased to be effective 
with enactment of the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 
1998, pursuant to sec. 1422(a)(1) (division G of Public Law 105-277; 
112 Stat. 2681).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (b) \113\ * * * [Repealed--1981]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \113\ Subsec. (b), which required the President to report to 
Congress on improvements to the evaluation of projects and programs 
conducted by the international financial institutions and the United 
Nations Development Program, was repealed by sec. 734(a)(1) of the 
International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1981 (Public 
Law 97-113; 95 Stat. 1560). Such report was submitted on March 26, 
1979.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sec. 126.\114\ Development and Illicit Narcotics 
Production.--(a) The Congress recognizes that illicit narcotics 
cultivation is related to overall development problems and that 
the vast majority of all individuals employed in the 
cultivation of illicit narcotics reside in the developing 
countries and are among the poorest of the poor in those 
countries and that therefore the ultimate success of any effort 
to eliminate illicit narcotics production depends upon the 
availability of alternative economic opportunities for those 
individuals, upon other factors which assistance under this 
chapter could address, as well as upon direct narcotics control 
efforts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \114\ 22 U.S.C. 2151x. Sec. 126 was added by sec. 110 of the 
International Development Cooperation Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 
Stat. 363).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (b)(1) \115\ In planning programs of assistance under this 
chapter, and chapter 10 of this part,\115\ and under chapter 4 
of part II \115\ for countries in which there is illicit 
narcotics cultivation, the agency primarily responsible for 
administering this part should give priority consideration to 
programs which would help reduce illicit narcotics cultivation 
by stimulating broader development opportunities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \115\ Sec. 603 of the International Security and Development 
Cooperation Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 190), amended 
subsec. (b) by inserting the words: ``and under chapter 4 of Part II'' 
and by inserting the paragraph designation ``(1)'', and by adding a new 
paragraph (2).
    Sec. 562 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related 
Programs Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law 101-513; 104 Stat. 2026), 
added a new chapter 10 to part I of this Act, providing for long-term 
development in sub-Saharan Africa, and made a conforming amendment by 
inserting ``, and chapter 10 of this part,''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (2) \115\ The agency primarily responsible for 
administering this part may utilize resources for activities 
aimed at increasing awareness of the effects of production and 
trafficking of illicit narcotics on source and transit 
countries.
    (c) In furtherance of the purposes of this section, the 
agency primarily responsible for administering this part shall 
cooperate fully with, and share its expertise in development 
matters with, other agencies of the United States Government 
involved in narcotics control activities abroad.
    Sec. 127.\116\ Accelerated Loan Repayments.--The 
Administrator of the agency primarily responsible for 
administering this part shall conduct an annual review of 
bilateral concessional loan balances and shall determine and 
identify those countries whose financial resources make 
possible accelerated loan repayments. In particular, European 
countries that were recipients of concessional loans by 
predecessor agencies to the agency primarily responsible for 
administering this part shall be contacted to negotiate 
accelerated repayments. The criteria used by the Administrator 
in making these determinations shall be established in 
conjunction with the Committee on Foreign Affairs \117\ of the 
House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations 
of the Senate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \116\ 22 U.S.C. 2151y. Sec. 127 was added by sec. 508(a) of the 
International Development Cooperation Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 
Stat. 379). Sec. 508(b) called on the administration to describe the 
efforts made to negotiate accelerated loan repayments in accordance

                build their assets;

      Title III--Housing and Other Credit Guaranty Programs \149\

    Sec. 221.\150\ Housing Guaranties.--The Congress recognizes 
that shelter, including essential urban development services, 
is \151\ among the most fundamental of human needs. Shelter for 
most people in the developing countries consists largely of 
domestic materials assembled by local labor. While recognizing 
that most financing for such shelter \152\ must come from 
domestic resources, the Congress finds that carefully designed 
programs involving United States capital and expertise can 
increase the availability of domestic financing for improved 
shelter \152\ and related services for low-income people by 
demonstrating to local entrepreneurs and institutions that 
providing low-cost shelter \152\ can be financially viable. The 
Congress reaffirms, therefore, that the United States should 
continue to assist developing countries in marshalling 
resources for low-cost shelter.\152\ Particular attention 
should be given to programs which will support pilot projects 
for low-cost shelter or which will have a maximum demonstration 
impact on local institutions and national policy. The Congress 
declares that the long run goal of all such programs should be 
to develop domestic construction capabilities and to stimulate 
local credit institutions to make available domestic capital 
and other management and technological resources required for 
effective low-cost shelter programs and policies.

Law 106-113; 113 Stat. 1535), under the heading ``Urban and 
Environmental Credit Program Account'', waived the second and third 
sentences of this subsec. for fiscal year 2000, which in effect lifted 
the ceiling on the outstanding principal amount of guaranties, and

Cooperation Act of 1984, as passed by the House on May 10, 1984. Sec. 
541(a) enacted sec. 311 of H.R. 5119. This authority had been extended 
previously from Sept. 30, 1982, by sec. 310(a) of the International 
Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1981 (Public Law 97-113; 95 
Stat. 1535); and from Sept. 30, 1980, by sec. 112(a)(2) of Public Law 
96-53 (93 Stat. 364).

    (b) Activities carried out under this section shall 
emphasize--
          (1) projects which provide improved home sites to 
        poor families on which to build shelter, and related

of energy, the President shall give consideration to the use of 
solar energy technologies, where such technologies are 
economically and technically feasible. Technologies which may 
be used include solar hot water systems, solar heating and

Self-Help Community Development Programs.--(a) It is the sense 
of the Congress that in order to stimulate the participation of 
the private sector in the economic development of less-
developed countries,\158\ the authority conferred by this 
section should be used to establish pilot programs \159\ to 
encourage private banks, credit institutions, similar private 
lending organizations, cooperatives, and private nonprofit 
development organizations to make loans on reasonable terms to 
organized groups and individuals residing in a community for 
the purpose of enabling such groups and individuals to carry 
out agricultural credit and self-help community development 
projects for which they are unable to obtain financial 
assistance on reasonable terms. Agricultural credit and 
assistance for self-help community development projects should 
include, but not be limited to, material and such projects as 
wells, pumps, farm machinery, improved seed, fertilizer, 
pesticides, vocational training, food industry development, 
nutrition projects, improved breeding stock for farm animals, 
sanitation facilities, and looms and other handicraft aids.

    \159\ Previously such programs were limited to not more than six 
Latin American countries (Public Law 99-53; 99 Stat. 364).

determine, to private lending institutions, cooperatives, and 
private nonprofit development organizations \160\ assuring 
against loss of not to exceed 50 per centum of the portfolio of 
such loans made by any lender to organized groups or 
individuals residing in a community to enable such groups or 
individuals to carry out agricultural credit and self-help 
community development projects for which they are unable to 
obtain financial assistance on reasonable terms. In no event 
shall the liability of the United States exceed 75 per centum 
of any one loan.

Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2000 (H.R. 3422, enacted by 
reference in sec. 1000(a)(2) of Public Law 106-113; 113 Stat. 1535), 
authorized the President to abolish the Inter-American Foundation and 
made conforming amendments to legislation related to the Inter-American 
Foundation to reflect the abolishment. These amendments are to be 
effective and executed only after the Director of the Office of 
Management and Budget transmits to Congress a certification that 
responsibilities delegated to the Director, primarily that of 
administering and winding-up any outstanding obligations of the Inter-
American Foundation, have been fully discharged.

    (g) The Overseas Private Investment Corporation shall, upon 
enactment of this subsection, transfer to the agency primarily 
responsible for administering part I all obligations, assets,

    (2) \176\ (A) In order to meet obligations incurred for the 
payment of claims pursuant to loan guaranties described in 
subsection (d), the Administrator of the agency primarily 
responsible for administering part I may, to the extent that 
reserves are not sufficient, borrow from time to time from the 
Treasury except that--
          (i) the Administrator may exercise the authority to 
        borrow under this paragraph only to such extent or in 
        such amounts as are provided in advance in 
        appropriation Acts; and
          (ii) the amount borrowed under this paragraph which 
        is outstanding at any one time may not exceed 
        $100,000,000.\177\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \177\ $100,000,000 was substituted in lieu of $40,000,000 by title 
II of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 1988 (sec. 101(e) of the Continuing Appropriations 
for 1988, Public Law 100-202; 101 Stat. 1329).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (B) Any such borrowing shall bear interest at a rate 
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into 
account the current average market yield on outstanding 
marketable obligations of the United States of comparable 
maturities. The Secretary of the Treasury shall make loans 
under this paragraph and for such purpose may borrow on the 
credit of the United States in accordance with subchapter I of 
chapter 31 of title 31 of the United States Code.
    (f) In the case of any loan investment guaranteed under 
section 222,\167\ the agency primarily responsible for 
administering part I shall prescribe the maximum rate of 
interest allowable to the eligible investor, which maximum rate 
shall not exceed by more than 1 per centum the then current 
rate of interest applicable to housing mortgages insured by the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development.\178\ The maximum 
allowable rate of interest under this subsection shall be 
prescribed by the agency as of the date the project covered by 
the investment is officially authorized and, prior to the 
execution of the contract, the agency may amend such rate at 
its discretion, consistent with the provisions of subsection 
(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \178\ Language which specified that the maximum rate of interest

rate of interest applicable to housing mortgages insured by HUD, was 
struck out by sec. 112(c) of the International Development Cooperation 
Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-53; 93 Stat. 364).

outstanding heretofore under this title or \179\ under prior 
housing guaranty authorities repealed by the Foreign Assistance 
Act of 1969 shall continue subject to provisions of law 
originally applicable thereto and fees collected hereafter with 
respect to such guaranties shall be available for the purposes

\167\ only for housing projects which are coordinated with and 
complementary to any development assistance being furnished 
under chapter 1 of this part and which \182\ are specifically 
designed to demonstrate the feasibility and suitability of 
particular kinds of housing or of financial or other

families with income below the median income (below the median 
urban income for housing in urban areas) in the country in

years have received, development assistance under chapter 1 of part I 
of this Act, (2) are coordinated with and complementary to such

average face value of guaranties issued in any fiscal year shall not 
exceed $15,000,000. Of the total amount of housing guaranties 
authorized to be issued under section 222 through September 30, 1982,

          (3) If less than the full amount of guarantees 
        authorized to be made available in a fiscal year

        is issued to Israel during that fiscal year, the 
        authority to issue the balance of such guarantees shall

        before September 30, 1998.
          (4)(A) Not later than September 1 of each year during 
        the period in which the President is authorized to

    (d) \190\ Limitation on Guarantee Amount.--The amount of 
authorized but unissued guarantees that the President is 
authorized to issue as specified in subsection (b) shall be 
reduced by an amount equal to the amount extended or estimated 
to have been extended by the Government of Israel during the 
previous year for activities which the President determines are 
inconsistent with the objectives of this section or 
understandings reached between the United States Government and 
the Government of Israel regarding the implementation of the 
loan program. The President shall submit a report to Congress 
no later than September 30 of each fiscal year during the 
pendency of the program specifying the amount calculated under 
this subsection and that will be deducted from the amount of 
guarantees authorized to be issued in the next fiscal year.
    (e) Fees.--
          (1) Fees charged for the loan guarantee program under 
        this section each year shall be an aggregate annual 
        origination fee equal to the estimated subsidy cost of 
        the guarantees issued under this section for that year, 
        calculated by the Office of Management and Budget for 
        the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. This shall also

        administering the program under this section. All such 
        fees shall be paid by the Government of Israel to the 
        Government of the United States. Funds made available 
        for Israel under chapter 4 of Part II of the Foreign 
        Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be utilized by 
        the Government of Israel to pay such fees to the United 
        States Government. No further appropriations of subsidy 
        cost are needed for the loan guarantee authorized 
        hereunder for fiscal year 1993 and the four succeeding 
        fiscal years.
          (2) The origination fee shall be payable to the 
        United States Government on a pro rata basis as each 
        guarantee for each loan or increment is issued.
    (f) Authority To Suspend.--Except as provided in 
subsections (l) and (m) of this section, the President shall 
determine the terms and conditions for issuing guarantees. If 
the President determines that these terms and conditions have 
been breached, the President may suspend or terminate the 
provision of all or part of the additional loan guarantees not 
yet issued under this section. Upon making such a determination 
to suspend or terminate the provision of loan guarantees, the 
President shall submit to the Speaker of the House of 
Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate his 
determination to do so, including the basis for such suspension 
or termination.
    (g) Procedures for Suspension or Termination.--Any 
suspension or termination pursuant to subsection (f) shall be 
in accordance with the following procedures:
          (1) Upon making a determination to suspend or 
        terminate the provision of loan guarantees, the 
        President shall submit to the Speaker of the House of 
        Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the 
        Senate his determination to do so, including the basis 
        for such suspension or termination.
          (2) Such a suspension or termination shall cease to 
        be effective if Congress enacts, within 30 days of 
        submission, a joint resolution authorizing the 
        assistance notwithstanding the suspension.
          (3) Any such joint resolution shall be considered in 
        the Senate in accordance with the provisions of section 
        601(b) of the International Security Assistance and 
        Arms Export Control Act of 1976.
          (4) For the purpose of expediting the consideration 
        and enactment of joint resolutions under this 
        subsection, a motion to proceed to the consideration of 
        any such joint resolution after it has been reported by 
        the appropriate committee shall be treated as highly 
        privileged in the House of Representatives.
          (5) In the event that the President suspends the 
        provision of additional loan guarantees under 
        subsection (f) and Congress does not enact a joint 
        resolution pursuant to this subsection, the provision 
        of additional loan guarantees under the program 
        established by this section may be resumed only if the 
        President determines and so reports to Congress that 
        the reasons for the suspension have been resolved or 
        that the resumption is otherwise in the national 
        interest.
  (h) Economic Context.--The effective absorption of immigrants 
into Israel from the republics of the former Soviet Union and 
Ethiopia within the private sector requires large investment 
and economic restructuring to promote market efficiency and 
thereby contribute to productive employment and sustainable 
growth. Congress recognizes that the Government of Israel is 
developing an economic strategy designed to achieve these 
goals, and that the Government of Israel intends to adopt a 
comprehensive, multi-year economic strategy based on prudent 
macroeconomic policies and structural reforms. Congress also 
recognizes that these policies are being designed to reduce 
direct involvement of the government in the economic system and 
to promote private enterprise, important prerequisites for 
economic stability and sustainable growth.
  (i) Consultations.--It is the sense of the Congress that, as 
agreed between the two Governments and in order to further the 
policies specified in subsection (h), Israel and the United 
States should continue to engage in consultations concerning 
economic and financial measures, including structural and other 
reforms, that Israel should undertake during the pendency of 
this program to enable its economy to absorb and resettle 
immigrants and to accommodate the increased debt burden that 
will result from loans guaranteed pursuant to this section. It 
is the sense of the Congress that these consultations on 
economic measures should address progress and plans in the 
areas of budget policies, privatization, trade liberalization, 
financial and capital markets, labor markets, competition 
policy, and deregulation.
  (j) Goods and Services.--During the pendency of the loan 
program authorized under this section, it is anticipated that, 
in the context of the economic reforms undertaken pursuant to 
subsections (h) and (i) of this section, Israel's increased 
population due to its absorption of immigrants, and the 
liberalization by the Government of Israel of its trade policy 
with the United States, the amount of United States investment 
goods and services purchased for use in or with respect to the 
country of Israel will substantially increase.
  (k) Reports.--The President shall report to Congress by 
December 31 of each fiscal year until December 31, 1999, 
regarding the implementation of this section.
    (l) Applicability of Foreign Assistance Act Authorities.--
Section 223 of the Foreign Assistance Act shall apply to 
guarantees issued under subsection (a) in the same manner as 
such section applies to guarantees issued under section 222, 
except that subsections (a), (e)(1), (g), and (j) of section 
223 shall not apply to such guarantees and except that, to the 
extent section 223 is inconsistent with the Federal Credit 
Reform Act of 1990, that Act shall apply. Loans shall be 
guaranteed under this section without regard to sections 221, 
222, and 238(c). Notwithstanding section 223(f), the interest 
rate for loans guaranteed under this section may include a 
reasonable fee to cover the costs and fees incurred by the 
borrower in connection with this program or financing under 
this section in the event the borrower elects not to finance 
such costs or fees out of loan principal. Guarantees once 
issued hereunder shall be unconditional and fully and freely 
transferable.
    (m) Terms and Conditions.--
          (1) Each loan guarantee issued under this section 
        shall guarantee 100 percent of the principal and 
        interest payable on such loans.
          (2) The standard terms of any loan or increment 
        guaranteed under this section shall be 30 years with 
        semiannual payments of interest only over the first 10 
        years, and with semiannual payments of principal and 
        interest on a level payment basis, over the last 20 
        years thereof, except that the guaranteed loan or any 
        increments issued in a single transaction may include 
        obligations having different maturities, interest 
        rates, and payment terms if the aggregate scheduled 
        debt service for all obligations issued in a single 
        transaction equals the debt service for a single loan 
        or increment of like amount having the standard terms 
        described in this sentence. The guarantor shall not 
        have the right to accelerate any guaranteed loan or 
        increment or to pay any amounts in respect of the 
        guarantees issued other than in accordance with the 
        original payment terms of the loan. For purposes of 
        determining the maximum principal amount of any loan or 
        increment to be guaranteed under this section, the 
        principal amount of each such loan or increment shall 
        be--
                  (A) in the case of any loan issued on a 
                discount basis, the original issue price 
                (excluding any transaction costs) thereof; or
                  (B) in the case of any loan issue on an 
                interest-bearing basis, the stated principal 
                amount thereof.

        Title IV--Overseas Private Investment Corporation \192\

    Sec. 231.\193\ Creation, Purpose and Policy.--To mobilize 
and facilitate the participation of United States private 
capital and skills in the economic and social development \194\ 
of less developed countries and areas, and countries in 
transition from nonmarket to market economies,\195\ thereby 
complementing the development assistance objectives of the 
United States, there is hereby created the Overseas Private 
Investment Corporation (hereinafter called the 
``Corporation''), which shall be an agency of the United States 
under the policy guidance of the Secretary of State.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \192\ A new title IV was added by sec. 105 of the FA Act of 1969. 
Prior to this, title IV had been titled ``Surveys of Investment 
Opportunities.'' For Executive Order concerning OPIC, see Legislation 
on Foreign Relations Through 2000, vol. I-B.
    Title IV was amended extensively by title I of S. 2757 and title I 
of H.R. 5263, both enacted by reference in the Foreign Operations, 
Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1989 (Public 
Law 100-461; 102 Stat. 2268):
    ``Sec. 555. * * * Provided further, That title I of H.R. 5263 as 
passed by the House of Representatives on September 20, 1988, is hereby 
enacted into law: Provided further, That purchases, investments or 
other acquisitions of equity by the fund created by section 104 of H.R. 
5263 as hereby enacted are limited to such amounts as may be provided 
in advance in appropriations Acts: Provided further, That 
notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, titles I and III of S. 
2757 as reported by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on 
September 7, 1988, are hereby enacted into law: Provided further, That 
purchases, investments or other acquisitions of equity by the fund 
created by section 104 of S. 2757 as hereby enacted are limited to such 
amounts as may be provided in advance in appropriations Acts: * * *.''.
    Except in two instances, title I, S. 2757 and title I, H.R. 5263 
are identical. Sec. 106 in each title amended sec. 235(a)(2) of the FA 
Act of 1961. Sec. 235(a)(2) was previously amended by Public Law 100-
418, sec. 2203(b)(1)(A); H.R. 5263 took this into account. Public Law 
100-418, sec. 2203(b)(1)(B) redesignated sec. 235(a)(5) of the FA Act 
of 1961 as sec. 235(a)(6). Sec. 107 in S. 2757 and H.R. 5263 amended 
this section, but H.R. 5263 took into account the redesignation by 
Public Law 100-418. Title III of S. 2757, which addresses the 
implementation of certain USIA Exchange Visitor Programs, is in 
Legislation on Foreign Relations Through 2000, vol. II, sec. E.
    \193\ 22 U.S.C. 2191. Sec. 231 was added by sec. 105 of the FA Act 
of 1969.
    \194\ Sec. 2(1)(A) of the OPIC Amendments Act of 1974 (Public Law 
93-390; 83 Stat. 809) substituted ``development'' in lieu of 
``progress''.
    \195\ Sec. 101 of the Jobs Through Exports Act of 1992 (Public Law 
102-549; 106 Stat. 3651) struck out ``friendly countries and areas,'' 
and inserted in lieu thereof ``countries and areas, and countries in 
transition from nonmarket to market economies,''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The \196\ Corporation, in determining whether to provide 
insurance, financing, or reinsurance for a project, shall 
especially--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \196\ This paragraph was added by sec. 2(1) of Public Law 95-268 
(92 Stat. 213).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (1) be guided by the economic and social development 
        impact and benefits of such a project and the ways in 
        which such a project complements, or is compatible 
        with, other development assistance programs or projects 
        of the United States or other donors;
          (2) give preferential consideration to investment 
        projects in less developed countries that have per 
        capita incomes of $984 or less in 1986 United States 
        dollars, and restrict its activities with respect to 
        investment projects in less developed countries that 
        have per capita incomes of $4,269 or more in 1986 
        United States dollars (other than countries designated 
        as beneficiary countries under section 212 of the 
        Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (19 U.S.C. 2702), 
        Ireland, and Northern Ireland); and \197\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \197\ The per capita income levels were increased from $896 and 
$3,887 in 1983 U.S. dollars by sec. 102 of the OPIC Amendments Act of 
1988, S. 2757, enacted into law by reference in the Foreign Operations, 
Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1989 (Public 
Law 100-461; 102 Stat. 2268). Sec. 102 also added ``(other than 
countries designated as beneficiary countries under section 212 of the 
Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (19 U.S.C. 2702))''. Previously 
the per capita income levels were increased from $680 and $2,950 in 
1979 U.S. dollars to $896 and $3,887 in 1983 U.S. dollars by sec. 3 of 
the OPIC Amendments Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-204; 99 Stat. 1669), and 
from $520 and $1,000 in 1975 U.S. dollars to $680 and $2,950 in 1979 
U.S. dollars, respectively, by sec. 2(1) of the OPIC Amendments Act of 
1981 (Public Law 97-65; 95 Stat. 1021).
    Sec. 105 of the Jobs Through Trade Expansion Act of 1994 (Public 
Law 103-392; 108 Stat. 4099) inserted ``, Ireland, and Northern 
Ireland'' in the parentheses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (3) \198\ ensures that the project is consistent with 
        the provisions of section 117 \198\ (as so redesignated 
        by the Special Foreign Assistance Act of 1986), section 
        118, and section 119 of this Act relating to the 
        environment and natural resources of, and tropical 
        forests and endangered species \198\ in, developing 
        countries, and consistent with the intent of 
        regulations issued pursuant to sections 118 and 119 of 
        this Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \198\ Par. (3) was added by sec. 4(a)(1)(C) of the OPIC Amendments 
Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-204; 99 Stat. 1669). The OPIC Amendments Act 
of 1988, S. 2757, enacted into law by reference in the Foreign 
Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 
1989 (Public Law 100-461; 102 Stat. 2268), made a correction to include 
section 117. S. 2757 also struck out ``biological diversity'' and 
inserted in lieu thereof ``tropical forests and endangered species''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In carrying out its purpose, the Corporation, utilizing 
broad criteria, shall undertake--
          (a) \199\ to conduct financing, insurance, and 
        reinsurance operations on a self-sustaining basis, 
        taking into account in its financing operations the 
        economic and financial soundness of projects;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \199\ Subsec. (a) was amended by sec. 2(1)(B) of the OPIC 
Amendments Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-390; 83 Stat. 809). It formerly 
read as follows: ``(a) to conduct financial soundness of projects and 
the availability of financing from other sources on appropriate 
terms;''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (b) to utilize private credit and investment 
        institutions and the Corporation's guaranty authority 
        as the principal means of mobilizing capital investment 
        funds;
          (c) to broaden private participation and revolve its 
        funds through selling its direct investments to private 
        investors whenever it can appropriately do so on 
        satisfactory terms;
          (d) to conduct its insurance operations with due 
        regard to principles of risk management including \200\ 
        efforts to share its insurance risks and reinsurance 
        \201\ risks;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \200\ Sec. 2(1)(C) of the OPIC Amendments Act of 1974 (Public Law 
93-390) struck the words, ``when appropriate,'' which appeared at this 
point.
    \201\ Sec. 2(1)(C) of the OPIC Amendments Act of 1974 (Public Law 
93-390) added the words ``and reinsurance''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (e) \202\ to the maximum degree possible consistent 
        with its purposes--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \202\ Subsec. (e), as amended by Public Law 93-390, was amended and 
restated by sec. 2(2) of Public Law 95-268 (92 Stat. 213). It formerly 
read as follows:
    ``(e) to give preferential consideration in its investment 
insurance, financing, and reinsurance activities (to the maximum extent 
practicable consistent with the Corporation's purposes) to investment 
projects involving businesses of not more than $2,500,000 net worth or 
with not more than $7,500,000 in total assets;''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  (1) to give preferential consideration in its 
                investment insurance, reinsurance, and guaranty 
                activities to investment projects sponsored by 
                or involving United States small business; and
                  (2) to increase the proportion of projects 
                sponsored by or significantly involving United 
                States small business to at least 30 percent of 
                all projects insured, reinsured, or guaranteed 
                by the Corporation;
          (f) \203\ to consider in the conduct of its 
        operations the extent to which less developed country 
        governments are receptive to private enterprise, 
        domestic and foreign, and their willingness and ability 
        to maintain conditions which enable private enterprise 
        to make its full contribution to the development 
        process;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \203\ Sec. 2(5) of Public Law 95-268 (92 Stat. 214) struck subsecs. 
(f) and (l) and redesignated subsecs. (g) through (n) as (f) through 
(l), respectively. Subsecs. (f) and (l) formerly read as follows:
    ``(f) to encourage and support only those private investments in 
less developed friendly countries and areas which are sensitive and 
responsive to the special needs and requirements of their economies, 
and which contribute to the social and economic development of their 
people;''
    ``(l) to the maximum extent practicable, to give preferential 
consideration in the Corporation's investment insurance, financing, and 
reinsurance activities to investment projects in the less developed 
friendly countries which have per capita incomes of $450 or less in 
1973 United States dollars; and''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (g) \203\ to foster private initiative and 
        competition and discourage monopolistic practices;
          (h) \203\ to further to the greatest degree possible, 
        in a manner consistent with its goals, the balance-of-
        payments and employment \204\ objectives of the United 
        States;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \204\ Sec. 2(1)(E) of the OPIC Amendments Act of 1974 (Public Law 
93-390) added the words ``and employment''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (i) \203\ to conduct its activities in consonance 
        with the activities of the agency primarily responsible 
        for administering part I and the international trade, 
        investment, and financial policies of the United States 
        Government, and to seek to support those developmental 
        projects having positive trade benefits for the United 
        States; \205\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \205\ The words ``, and to seek to support those developmental 
projects having positive trade benefits for the United States'' were 
added by sec. 2(2) of the OPIC Amendments Act of 1981 (Public Law 97-
65; 95 Stat. 1021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (j) \203\ to advise and assist, within its field of 
        competence, interested agencies of the United States 
        and other organizations, both public and private, 
        national and international, with respect to projects 
        and programs relating to the development of private 
        enterprise in less developed countries and areas;
          (k) \206\ (1) to decline to issue any contract of 
        insurance or reinsurance, or any guaranty, or to enter 
        into any agreement to provide financing for an eligible 
        investor's proposed investment if the Corporation 
        determines that such investment is likely to cause such 
        investor (or the sponsor of an investment project in 
        which such investor is involved) significantly to 
        reduce the number of his employees in the United States 
        because he is replacing his United States production 
        with production from such investment which involves 
        substantially the same product for substantially the 
        same market as his United States production; and (2) to 
        monitor conformance with the representations of the 
        investor on which the Corporation relied in making the 
        determination required by clause (1);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \206\ This subsection was originally added as subsec. (m) by sec. 
2(1)(H) of the OPIC Amendments Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-390). It was 
redesignated as subsec. (k) by sec. 2(5) of Public Law 95-268; 92 Stat. 
214.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (l) \207\ to decline to issue any contract of 
        insurance or reinsurance, or any guaranty, or to enter 
        into any agreement to provide financing for an eligible 
        investor's proposed investment if the Corporation 
        determines that such investment is likely to cause a 
        significant reduction in the number of employees in the 
        United States;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \207\ This subsection was added as subsec. (n) by sec. 2(4) of 
Public Law 95-268 (92 Stat. 213), and redesignated as subsec. (l) by 
sec. 2(5) of the same Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (m) \208\ to refuse to insure, reinsure, or finance 
        any investment subject to performance requirements 
        which would reduce substantially the positive trade 
        benefits likely to accrue to the United States from the 
        investment; and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \208\ Subsec. (m) was added by sec. 2(3)(C) of the OPIC Amendments 
Act of 1981 (Public Law 97-65; 95 Stat. 1021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (n) \209\ to refuse to insure, reinsure, guarantee, 
        or finance any investment in connection with a project 
        which the Corporation determines will pose an 
        unreasonable or major environmental, health, or safety 
        hazard, or will result in the significant degradation 
        of national parks or similar protected areas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \209\ Sec. 4(a)(4) of the OPIC Amendments Act of 1985 (Public Law 
99-204; 99 Stat. 1669) added subsec. (n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sec. 231A.\210\ Additional Requirements.--(a) Worker 
Rights.--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \210\ 22 U.S.C. 2191a. Sec. 231A was added by sec. 5(a) of the OPIC 
Amendments Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-204; 99 Stat. 1670). Sec. 5(b) of 
the Act provides that sec. 231A(a) ``shall not apply to projects 
insured, reinsured, guaranteed, or financed before the date of the 
enactment of this Act.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (1) Limitation on OPIC Activities.--The Corporation 
        may insure, reinsure, guarantee, or finance a project 
        only if the country in which the project is to be 
        undertaken is taking steps to adopt and implement laws 
        that extend internationally recognized worker rights, 
        as defined in section 507(4) of the Trade Act of 
        1974,\211\ to workers in that country (including any 
        designated zone in that country). The Corporation shall 
        also include the following language, in substantially 
        the following form, in all contracts which the 
        Corporation enters into with eligible investors to 
        provide financial support under this title: \212\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \211\ Sec. 1954(b)(3)(A) of Public Law 104-188 (110 Stat. 1928) 
struck out ``502(a)(4) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2462(a)(4))'' and inserted in lieu thereof ``507(4) of the Trade Act of 
1974''.
    \212\ Sec. 102(a) of the Jobs Through Exports Act of 1992 (Public 
Law 102-549; 106 Stat. 3651) added the last sentence, including the 
language required in contracts, to sec. 231A(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          ``The investor agrees not to take actions to prevent 
        employees of the foreign enterprise from lawfully 
        exercising their right of association and their right 
        to organize and bargain collectively. The investor 
        further agrees to observe applicable laws relating to a 
        minimum age for employment of children, acceptable 
        conditions of work with respect to minimum wages, hours 
        of work, and occupational health and safety, and not to 
        use forced labor. The investor is not responsible under 
        this paragraph for the actions of a foreign 
        government.''
          (2) Use of Annual Reports on Workers Rights.--The 
        Corporation shall, in making its determinations under 
        paragraph (1), use the reports submitted to the 
        Congress pursuant to section 504 of the Trade Act of 
        1974.\213\ The restriction set forth in paragraph (1) 
        shall not apply until the first such report is 
        submitted to the Congress.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \213\ Sec. 1954(b)(3)(B) of Public Law 104-188 (110 Stat. 1928) 
struck out ``505(c) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2465(c))'' and 
inserted in lieu thereof ``504 of the Trade Act of 1974''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (3) Waiver.--Paragraph (1) shall not prohibit the 
        Corporation from providing any insurance, reinsurance, 
        guaranty, or financing with respect to a country if the 
        President determines that such activities by the 
        Corporation would be in the national economic interests 
        of the United States. Any such determination shall be 
        reported in writing to the Congress, together with the 
        reasons for the determination.\214\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \214\ The President determined ``that the waiver of section 
231A(a)(1) with respect to Nicaragua, permitting the Overseas Private 
Investment Corporation to insure, reinsure, guaranty, and finance 
projects in Nicaragua, is in the national economic interests of the 
United States.'' (Presidential Determination 90-24 of June 21, 1990; 55 
F.R. 27631).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          (4) \215\ In making a determination under this 
        section for the People's Republic of China, the

                for securities acquired through the enforcement 
                of any lien, pledge, or contractual arrangement 
                as a result of a default by any party under any 
                agreement relating to the terms of the 
                Corporation's investment; and
                  (B) the Corporation's equity investment under 
                this subsection with respect to any project, 
                when added to any other investments made or 
                guaranteed by the Corporation under subsection

                investment is made or guaranteed by the 
                Corporation, 75 percent of the total investment

        decisions under this subsection, the Corporation shall 
        give preferential consideration to projects sponsored 
        by or significantly involving United States small

        investment will assist in obtaining the financing 
        required for the project.
          (4) Disposition of equity interest.--Taking into 
        consideration, among other things, the Corporations' 
        financial interests and the desirability of fostering

        this subsection within a period of 10 years from the 
        date of acquisition of such interest.
          (5) \264\ Implementation.--To the extent provided in 
        advance in appropriations Acts, the Corporation is 
        authorized to create such legal vehicles as may be 
        necessary for implementation of its authorities, which 
        legal vehicles may be deemed non-Federal borrowers for 
        purposes of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. 
        Income and proceeds of investments made pursuant to 
        this section 234(g) may be used to purchase equity or

        apply to such purchases.

    (c) There shall be established in the Treasury of the 
United States an insurance and guaranty fund, which shall have 
separate accounts to be known as the Insurance Reserve and the 
Guaranty Reserve, which reserves shall be available for 
discharge of liabilities, as provided in subsection (d) of this 
section \271\ until such time as all such liabilities have been 
discharged or have expired or until all such reserves have been 
expended in accordance with the provisions of this section. 
Such fund shall be funded by: (1) the funds heretofore 
available to discharge liabilities under predecessor guaranty 
authority (including housing guaranty authorities), less both 
the amount made available for housing guaranty programs 
pursuant to section 223(b) and the amount made available to the 
Corporation pursuant to subsection (e) of this section \271\ 
and (2) such sums as shall be appropriated pursuant to 
subsection (f) of this section for such purposes. The 
allocation of such funds to each such reserve shall be 
determined by the Board after consultation with the Secretary 
of the Treasury. Additional amounts may thereafter be 
transferred to such reserves pursuant to section 236.

204; 99 Stat. 1676) replaced references to ``section 234(e)'' and

``subsection (j)'', ``of this section'', and references to ``section

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (d) Any payment made to discharge liabilities under 
investment insurance or reinsurance issued under section 234 
\272\ under similar predecessor guaranty authority or under 
section 234A,\272\ shall be paid first out of the Insurance 
Reserve, as long as such reserve remains available, and 
thereafter out of funds made available pursuant to subsection 
(f) of this section. Any payments made to discharge liabilities 
under guaranties issued under section 234(b) or under similar 
predecessor guaranty authority shall be paid first out of the 
Guaranty Reserve as long as such reserve remains available, and 
thereafter out of funds made available pursuant to subsection 
(f) of this section.\271\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \272\ Sec. 2(3)(B) of the OPIC Amendments Act of 1974 (Public Law 
93-390) substituted ``insurance or reinsurance issued under section 
234'' in lieu of ``insurance issued under section 234(a)''.
    The reference to sec. 234A was added by sec. 9(b) of the OPIC 
Amendments Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-204; 99 Stat. 1672).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (e) There is hereby authorized to be transferred to the 
Corporation at its call, for the purposes specified in section 
236, all fees and other revenues collected under predecessor 
guaranty authority from December 31, 1968, available as of the 
date of such transfer.
    (f) \273\ There are authorized to be appropriated to the 
Corporation, to remain available until expended, such amounts 
as may be necessary from time to time to replenish or increase 
the insurance and guaranty fund, to discharge the liabilities 
under insurance, reinsurance, or guaranties issued by the 
Corporation or issued under predecessor guaranty authority, or 
to discharge obligations of the Corporation purchased by the 
Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to this subsection. However, 
no appropriations shall be made to augment the Insurance 
Reserve until the amount of funds in the Insurance Reserve is 
less than $25,000,000. Any appropriations to augment the 
Insurance Reserve shall then only be made either pursuant to 
specific authorization enacted after the date of enactment of 
the Overseas Private Investment Corporation Amendments Act of 
1974, or to satisfy the full faith and credit provision of 
section 237(c). In order to discharge liabilities under 
investment insurance or reinsurance, the Corporation is 
authorized to issue from time to time for purchase by the 
Secretary of the Treasury its notes, debentures, bonds, or 
other obligations; but the aggregate amount of such obligations 
outstanding at any one time shall not exceed $100,000,000. Any 
such obligation shall be repaid to the Treasury within one year 
after the date of issue of such obligation. Any such obligation 
shall bear interest at a rate determined by the Secretary of 
the Treasury, taking into consideration the current average 
market yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the 
United States of comparable maturities during the month 
preceding the issuance of any obligation authorized by this 
subsection. The Secretary of the Treasury shall purchase any 
obligation of the Corporation issued under this subsection, and 
for such purchase he may use as a public debt transaction the 
proceeds of the sale of any securities issued under the Second 
Liberty Bond Act after the date of enactment of the Overseas 
Private Investment Corporation Amendments Act of 1974. The 
purpose for which securities may be issued under such Bond Act 
shall include any such purchase.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \273\ Subsec. (f) was amended by sec. 2(3)(C) of the OPIC 
Amendments Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-390). It formerly read as 
follows: ``(f) There is hereby authorized to be appropriated to the 
Corporation, to remain available until expended, such amounts as may be 
necessary from time to time to replenish or increase the insurance and 
guaranty fund or to discharge the liabilities under insurance and 
guaranties issued by the Corporation or issued under predecessor 
guaranty authority.''.

102-549; 106 Stat. 3652) had added subsec. (g), which authorized the 
Corporation to draw form its noncredit account revolving fund 
$8,128,000 for fiscal year 1993 and $11,000,000 for fiscal year 1994

        shall consist of and be paid from net earnings of the 
        Corporation after payments, transfers, and additions
