                              ----------                              

    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, will not be 
revised every year, but only as necessary.
    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.
                                           Richard G. Lugar,
                          Chairman, Committee on Foreign Relations.

                                                     July 31, 2003.

                            EXPLANATORY NOTE

                              ----------                              

    The body of statutory law set out in this volume was in 
force, as amended, at the end of 2002.
    This volume sets out ``session law'' as originally enacted 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 June 15, 2003.
    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) \6\ 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\ 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. Subsequently, 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. 1413 of the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 
1998 (22 U.S.C. 6563; 112 Stat. 2681-791), furthermore, provided the 
following:
    ``Sec. 1413. Status of AID.
    ``(a) In General.--Unless abolished pursuant to the reorganization 
plan submitted under section 1601, and except as provided in section 
1412, there is within the Executive branch of Government the United 
States Agency for International Development as an entity described in 
section 104 of title 5, United States Code.
    ``(b) Retention of Officers.--Nothing in this section shall require 
the reappointment of any officer of the United States serving in the 
Agency for International Development of the United States International 
Development cooperation Agency as of the day before the effective date 
of this title.''.
    Sec. 1522 of that Act (22 U.S.C. 6592; 112 Stat. 2681-794), 
furthermore, provided the following:
    ``Sec. 1522. Administrator of AID Reporting to the Secretary of 
State.
    ``The Administrator of the Agency for International Development, 
appointed pursuant to section 624(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
1961 (22 U.S.C. 2384(a)), shall report to and be under the direct 
authority and foreign policy guidance of the Secretary of State.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    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 2003 are included in the Foreign Operations, 
        Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations 
        Act, 2003 (division E of the Consolidated 
        Appropriations Resolution, 2003; Public Law 108-7; 117 
        Stat. 11), and the Emergency Wartime Supplemental 
        Appropriations Act, 2003 (Public Law 108-11; 117 Stat. 
        559). Amounts appropriated by that Act to carry out the 
        purposes of provisions contained in the Foreign 
        Assistance Act of 1961, during fiscal year 2003 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''. In fiscal year 2003, the
        latter account is referred to as the ``Child Survival 
        and Health Programs Fund''.
        For fiscal year 2003, to remain available until 
        September 30, 2004, for the provisions of sections
        103, 105, 106, and 131, and chapter 10 of part I of 
        the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (Development
        Assistance and Development Fund for Africa), Congress 
        appropriated $1,389,000,000. Congress also
        appropriated $1,836,500,000 in fiscal year 2003, to 
        remain available until September 30, 2005, for
        child survival, reproductive health/family planning, 
        assistance to combat tropical and other
        infectious diseases, and related activities. Congress 
        also appropriated $90,000,000 to remain
        available until September 30, 2004, in the Emergency 
        Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003
        (Public Law 108-11; 117 Stat. 572).

        Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2003 (division E 
        of Public Law 108-7; 117 Stat. 179), provided the 
        following:

            ``obligations during last month of availability

          ``Sec. 501. Except for the appropriations entitled 
        `International Disaster Assistance' and `United States
