SEC. 811. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO INTERNATIONAL AND
ECONOMIC SUPPORT FOR A SUCCESSOR REGIME IN
IRAQ.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) A peaceful and prosperous Iraq will benefit the entire
international community.
(2) Winning the peace in Iraq will require the support of
the international community, including the assistance of the
United Nations and the specialized agencies of the United
Nations.
(3) While Iraq's long-term economic prospects are good, the
short-term economic situation will be difficult.
(4) Iraq has an estimated $61,000,000,000 in foreign debt,
approximately $200,000,000,000 in pending reparations claims
through the United National Compensation Commission, and an
unknown amount of potential liability for terrorism-related
claims brought in United States courts.
(5) The revenue from the export of oil from Iraq is
projected to be less than $15,000,000,000 each year for the
years 2004, 2005, and 2006.
(b) Sense of Congress on a Successor Regime in Iraq.--It is
the sense of Congress that--
(1) the President should be commended for seeking the
support of the international community to build a stable and
secure Iraq;
(2) the President's position that the oil resources of
Iraq, and the revenues derived therefrom, are the sovereign
possessions of the people of Iraq should be supported; and
(3) the President should pursue measures, in cooperation
with other nations, to protect an interim or successor regime
in Iraq, to the maximum extent possible, from the negative
economic implications of indebtedness incurred by the regime
of Saddam Hussein, and to assist in developing a resolution
of all outstanding claims against Iraq.

SEC. 812. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO MAGEN DAVID ADOM
SOCIETY.

It is the sense of Congress that, in light of the findings
of fact set out in section 690(a) of the Foreign Relations
Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-228; 116
Stat. 1414) and the fact that the Federation of Red Cross and
Red Crescent Societies has not granted full membership to the
Magen David Adom Society, the United States should continue
to press for full membership for the Magen David Adom Society
in the International Red Cross Movement.

SEC. 813. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CLIMATE CHANGE.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Evidence continues to build that increases in
atmospheric concentrations of man-made greenhouse gases are
contributing to global climate change.
(2) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
has concluded that ``there is new and stronger evidence that
most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is
attributable to human activities'' and that the average
temperature on Earth can be expected to rise between 2.5 and
10.4 degrees Fahrenheit in this century.
(3) The National Academy of Sciences confirmed the findings
of the IPCC, stating that ``the IPCC's conclusion that most
of the observed warming of the last 50 years is likely to
have been due to the increase of greenhouse gas
concentrations accurately reflects the current thinking of
the scientific community on this issue'' and that ``there is
general agreement that the observed warming is real and
particularly strong within the past twenty years''. The
National Academy of Sciences also noted that ``because there
is considerable uncertainty in current understanding of how
the climate system varies naturally and reacts to emissions
of greenhouse gases and aerosols, current estimates of the
magnitude of future warming should be regarded as tentative
and subject to future adjustments upward or downward''.
(4) The IPCC has stated that in the last 40 years the
global average sea level has risen, ocean heat content has
increased, and snow cover and ice extent have decreased,
which threatens to inundate low-lying island nations and
coastal regions throughout the world.
(5) In October 2000, a United States Government report
found that global climate change may harm the United States
by altering crop yields, accelerating sea-level rise, and
increasing the spread of tropical infectious diseases.
(6) In 1992, the United States ratified the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the ultimate
objective of which is the ``stabilization of greenhouse gas
concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would
prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate
system. Such a level should be achieved within a time-frame
sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate
change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and
to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable
manner''.
(7) The UNFCCC stated in part that the Parties to the
Convention are to implement policies ``with the aim of
returning . . . to their 1990 levels anthropogenic emissions
of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases'' under the
principle that ``policies and measures . . . should be
appropriate for the specific conditions of each Party and
should be integrated with national development programmes,
taking into account that economic development is essential
for adopting measures to address climate change''.
(8) There is a shared international responsibility to
address this problem, as industrial nations are the largest
historic and current emitters of greenhouse gases, and
developing nations' emissions will significantly increase in
the future.
(9) The UNFCCC further stated that ``developed country
Parties should take the lead in combating climate change and
the adverse effects thereof'', as these nations are the
largest historic and current emitters of greenhouse gases.
The UNFCCC also stated that ``steps required to understand
and address climate change will be environmentally, socially
and economically most effective if they are based on relevant
scientific, technical and economic considerations and
continually re-evaluated in the light of new findings in
these areas''.
(10) Senate Resolution 98 of the One Hundred Fifth
Congress, which expressed that developing nations must also
be included in any future, binding climate change treaty and
such a treaty must not result in serious harm to the United
States economy, should not cause the United States to abandon
its shared responsibility to help reduce the risks of climate
change and its impacts. Future international efforts in this
regard should focus on recognizing the equitable
responsibilities for addressing climate change by all
nations, including commitments by the largest developing
country emitters in a future, binding climate change treaty.
(11) While the United States has elected not to become a
party to the Kyoto Protocol at this time, it is the position
of the United States that it will not interfere with the
plans of any nation that chooses to ratify and implement the
Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC.
(12) American businesses need to know how governments
worldwide will address the risks of climate change.
(13) The United States benefits from investments in the
research, development, and deployment of a range of clean
energy and efficiency technologies that can reduce the risks
of climate change and its impacts and that can make the
United States economy more productive, bolster energy
security, create jobs, and protect the environment.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the United States should demonstrate international leadership
and responsibility in reducing the health, environmental, and
economic risks posed by climate change by--
(1) taking responsible action to ensure significant and
meaningful reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases from
all sectors;
(2) creating flexible international and domestic
mechanisms, including joint implementation, technology
deployment, tradable credits for emissions reductions and
carbon sequestration projects that will reduce, avoid, and
sequester greenhouse gas emissions;
(3) participating in international negotiations, including
putting forth a proposal to the Conference of the Parties,
with the objective of securing United States participation in
a future binding climate change Treaty in a manner that is
consistent with the environmental objectives of the UNFCCC,
that protects the economic interests of the United States,
and that recognizes the shared international responsibility
for addressing climate change, including developing country
participation; and
(4) establishing a bipartisan Senate observer group
designated by the chairman and ranking member of the
Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, to monitor any
international negotiations on climate change, to ensure that
the advice and consent function of the Senate is exercised in
a manner so as to facilitate timely consideration of any new
treaty submitted to the Senate.

TITLE IX--PEACE CORPS CHARTER FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

SEC. 901. SHORT TITLE.

This title may be cited as the ``Peace Corps Charter for
the 21st Century Act''.

SEC. 902. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Peace Corps was established in 1961 to promote
world peace and friendship through the service of United
States volunteers abroad.
(2) The Peace Corps has sought to fulfill three goals, as
follows:
(A) To help people in developing nations meet basic needs.
(B) To promote understanding of America's values and ideals
abroad.
(C) To promote an understanding of other peoples by
Americans.
(3) The three goals, which are codified in the Peace Corps
Act, have guided the Peace Corps and its volunteers over the
years, and worked in concert to promote global acceptance of
the principles of international peace and nonviolent
coexistence among peoples of diverse cultures and systems of
government.
(4) Since its establishment, approximately 165,000 Peace
Corps volunteers have served in 135 countries.
(5) After more than 40 years of operation, the Peace Corps
remains the world's premier

[[Page S9137]]

international service organization dedicated to promoting
grassroots development.
(6) The Peace Corps remains committed to sending well
trained and well supported Peace Corps volunteers overseas to
promote peace, friendship, and international understanding.
(7) The Peace Corps is currently operating with an annual
budget of $275,000,000 in 70 countries with 7,000 Peace Corps
volunteers.
(8) The Peace Corps is an independent agency, and therefore
no Peace Corps personnel or volunteers should be used to
accomplish any goal other than the goals established by the
Peace Corps Act.
(9) The Crisis Corps has been an effective tool in
harnessing the skills and talents for returned Peace Corps
volunteers and should be expanded to utilize to the maximum
extent the talent pool of returned Peace Corps volunteers.
(10) There is deep misunderstanding and misinformation
about American values and ideals in many parts of the world,
particularly those with substantial Muslim populations, and a
greater Peace Corps presence in such places could foster
greater understanding and tolerance.
(11) Congress has declared that the Peace Corps should be
expanded to sponsor a minimum of 10,000 Peace Corps
volunteers.
(12) President George W. Bush has called for the doubling
of the number of Peace Corps volunteers in service.
(13) Any expansion of the Peace Corps must not jeopardize
the quality of the Peace Corps volunteer experience, and
therefore can only be accomplished by an appropriate increase
in field and headquarters support staff.
(14) In order to ensure that proposed expansion of the
Peace Corps preserves the integrity of the program and the
security of volunteers, the integrated Planning and Budget
System supported by the Office of Planning and Policy
Analysis should continue its focus on strategic planning.
(15) A streamlined, bipartisan National Peace Corps
Advisory Council composed of distinguished returned Peace
Corps volunteers and other individuals, with diverse
backgrounds and expertise, can be a source of ideas and
suggestions that may be useful to the Director of the Peace
Corps in discharging the Director's duties and
responsibilities.

leverage local private capital for development while
reforming and strengthening developing country financial
markets.

lenders to provide appropriate oversight and management of
development projects funded with loans made by such lenders
and, thereby, maximize the benefit which such projects will
achieve.

make partial loan guarantees available to private lenders to

risk of loss of the private lender that receives such
guarantee.
``(e) Terms and Conditions.--Assistance provided under this
section shall be provided on such terms and conditions as the
President determines appropriate.

payment and performance of such obligation.

TITLE XXIV--GLOBAL PATHOGEN SURVEILLANCE

SEC. 2401. SHORT TITLE.

This title may be cited as the ``Global Pathogen
Surveillance Act of 2003''.

SEC. 2402. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Bioterrorism poses a grave national security threat to
the United States. The insidious nature of the threat, the
likely delayed recognition in the event of an attack, and the
underpreparedness of the domestic public health
infrastructure may produce catastrophic consequences
following a biological weapons attack upon the United States.
(2) A contagious pathogen engineered as a biological weapon
and developed, tested, produced, or released in another
country can quickly spread to the United States. Given the
realities of international travel, trade, and migration
patterns, a dangerous pathogen released anywhere in the world
can spread to United States territory in a matter of days,
before any effective quarantine or isolation measures can be
implemented.
(3) To effectively combat bioterrorism and ensure that the
United States is fully prepared to prevent, diagnose, and
contain a biological weapons attack, measures to strengthen
the domestic public health infrastructure and improve
domestic surveillance and monitoring, while absolutely
essential, are not sufficient.
(4) The United States should enhance cooperation with the
World Health Organization, regional health organizations, and
individual countries, including data sharing with appropriate
United States departments and agencies, to help detect and
quickly contain infectious disease outbreaks or bioterrorism
agents before they can spread.
(5) The World Health Organization (WHO) has done an
impressive job in monitoring infectious disease outbreaks
around the world, including the recent emergence of the
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic,
particularly with the establishment in April 2000 of the
Global Outbreak Alert and Response network.
(6) The capabilities of the World Health Organization are
inherently limited by the quality of the data and information
it receives from member countries, the narrow range of
diseases (plague, cholera, and yellow fever) upon which its
disease surveillance and monitoring is based, and the
consensus process it uses to add new diseases to the list.
Developing countries in particular often cannot devote the
necessary resources to build and maintain public health
infrastructures.
(7) In particular, developing countries could benefit
from--
(A) better trained public health professionals and
epidemiologists to recognize disease patterns;
(B) appropriate laboratory equipment for diagnosis of
pathogens;
(C) disease reporting based on symptoms and signs (known as
``syndrome surveillance''), affording the earliest possible
opportunity to conduct an effective response;
(D) a narrowing of the existing technology gap in syndrome
surveillance capabilities and real-time information
dissemination to public health officials; and
(E) appropriate communications equipment and information
technology to efficiently transmit information and data
within national and regional health networks, including
inexpensive, Internet-based Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) and relevant telephone-based systems for early
recognition and diagnosis of diseases.
(8) An effective international capability to monitor and
quickly diagnose infectious disease outbreaks will offer
dividends not only in the event of biological weapons
development, testing, production, and attack, but also in the
more likely cases of naturally occurring infectious disease
outbreaks that could threaten the United States. Furthermore,
a robust surveillance system will serve to deter terrorist
use of biological weapons, as early detection will help
mitigate the intended effects of such malevolent uses.
(b) Purpose.--The purposes of this title are as follows:
(1) To enhance the capability and cooperation of the
international community, including the World Health
Organization and individual countries, through enhanced
pathogen surveillance and appropriate data sharing, to
detect, identify, and contain infectious disease outbreaks,
whether the cause of those outbreaks is intentional human
action or natural in origin.
(2) To enhance the training of public health professionals
and epidemiologists from eligible developing countries in
advanced Internet-based and other electronic syndrome
surveillance systems, in addition to traditional epidemiology
methods, so that they may better detect, diagnose, and
contain infectious disease outbreaks, especially those due to
pathogens most likely to be used in a biological weapons
attack.
(3) To provide assistance to developing countries to
purchase appropriate public health laboratory equipment
necessary for infectious disease surveillance and diagnosis.
(4) To provide assistance to developing countries to
purchase appropriate communications equipment and information
technology, including, as appropriate, relevant computer
equipment, Internet connectivity mechanisms, and telephone-
based applications to effectively gather, analyze, and
transmit public health information for infectious disease
surveillance and diagnosis.
(5) To make available greater numbers of United States
Government public health professionals to international
health organizations, regional health networks, and United
States diplomatic missions where appropriate.
(6) To establish ``lab-to-lab'' cooperative relationships
between United States public health laboratories and
established foreign counterparts.
(7) To expand the training and outreach activities of
overseas United States laboratories, including Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and Department of Defense
entities, to enhance the disease surveillance capabilities of
developing countries.
(8) To provide appropriate technical assistance to existing
regional health networks and, where appropriate, seed money
for new regional networks.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:

[[Page S9152]]

(1) In recent years, the Central African States of Burundi,
the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda have
all been involved in overlapping conflicts that have
destabilized the region and contributed to the deaths of
millions of civilians.
(2) The Department of State's 2002 Country Report on Human
Rights Practices in Burundi states that, ``impunity for those
who committed serious human rights violations, and the
continuing lack of accountability for those who committed
past abuses, remained key factors in the country's continuing
instability.''
(3) The Department of State's 2002 Country Report on Human
Rights Practices in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
states that, ``the judiciary continued to be underfunded,
inefficient, and corrupt. It largely was ineffective as a
deterrent to human rights abuses or as a corrective force.''
(4) The Department of State's 2002 Country Report on Human
Rights Practices in Rwanda states that ``there were credible
reports that Rwandan Defense Force units operating in the
[Democratic Republic of the Congo] committed deliberate
unlawful killings and other serious abuses, and impunity
remained a problem,'' and that ``the Government continued to
conduct genocide trials at a slow pace.''
(5) The Department of State's 2002 Country Report on Human
Rights Practices in Uganda states that ``security forces used
excessive force, at times resulting in death, and committed
or failed to prevent extrajudicial killings of suspected
rebels and civilians. The Government enacted measures to
improve the discipline and training of security forces and
punished some security force officials who were guilty of
abuses; however, abuses by the security forces remained a
problem.''
(6) Ongoing human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic
of the Congo, including ethnically-based conflict in Ituri
province, threaten the integrity and viability of the
Congolese peace process.
(b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United
States Government to support--
(1) efforts aimed at accounting for the grave human rights
abuses and crimes against humanity that have taken place
throughout the central African region since 1993;
(2) programs to encourage reconciliation in communities
affected by such crimes; and
(3) efforts aimed at preventing such crimes in the future.
(c) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit to
the appropriate congressional committees a report on the
actions taken by the United States Government to implement
the policy set out in subsection (b).

available for fiscal year 2004 to support the development of

based violence and to improve local capacity to prevent and

and international broadcasting activities for fiscal year 2004 and for

purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

At the end of title VIII, insert the following new section:

SEC. 815. GLOBAL DEMOCRACY PROMOTION.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) It is a fundamental principle of American medical
ethics and practice that health care providers should, at all
times, deal honestly and openly with patients. Any attempt to
subvert the private and sensitive physician-patient
relationship would be intolerable in the United States and is
an unjustifiable intrusion into the practices of health care
providers when attempted in other countries.
(2) Freedom of speech is a fundamental American value. The
ability to exercise the right to free speech, which includes
the ``right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the government for a redress of grievances'' is
essential to a thriving democracy and is protected under the
United States Constitution.
(3) The promotion of democracy is a principal goal of
United States foreign policy and critical to achieving
sustainable development. It is enhanced through the
encouragement of democratic institutions and the promotion of
an independent and politically active civil society in
developing countries.

[[Page S9157]]

(4) Limiting eligibility for United States development and
humanitarian assistance upon the willingness of a foreign
nongovernmental organization to forgo its right to use its
own funds to address, within the democratic process, a
particular issue affecting the citizens of its own country
directly undermines a key goal of United States foreign
policy and would violate the United States Constitution if
applied to United States-based organizations.
(5) Similarly, limiting the eligibility for United States
assistance on a foreign nongovernmental organization's
willingness to forgo its right to provide, with its own
funds, medical services that are legal in its own country and
would be legal if provided in the United States constitutes
unjustifiable interference with the ability of independent
organizations to serve the critical health needs of their
fellow citizens and demonstrates a disregard and disrespect
for the laws of sovereign nations as well as for the laws of
the United States.
(b) Assistance for Foreign Nongovernmental Organizations
Under Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.--
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, regulation, or
policy, in determining eligibility for assistance authorized
under part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C.
2151 et seq.), foreign nongovernmental organizations--
(1) shall not be ineligible for such assistance solely on
the basis of health or medical services including counseling
and referral services, provided by such organizations with
non-United States Government funds if such services do not
violate the laws of the country in which they are being
provided and would not violate United States Federal law if
provided in the United States; and
(2) shall not be subject to requirements relating to the
use of non-United States Government funds for advocacy and
lobbying activities other than those that apply to United
States nongovernmental organizations receiving assistance
under part I of such Act.

SA 1147. Mr. BROWNBACK (for himself, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Lautenberg, and
Mr. Bingaman) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed to
amendment SA 1136 proposed by Mr. Lugar to the bill S. 925, to
authorize appropriations for the Department of State and international
broadcasting activities for fiscal year 2004 and for the Peace Corps
for fiscal years 2004 through 2007, and for other purposes; which was
ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

At the end of subtitle B of title II, add the following:

SEC. 214. ENHANCING REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT TO ENSURE NATIONAL
SECURITY AND MAINTAIN THE UNITED STATES
COMMITMENT TO REFUGEES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has a longstanding tradition of
providing refugee assistance and relief through the
Department of State's migration and refugee assistance
account for refugees throughout the world who have been
subjected to religious and other forms of persecution.
(2) A strong refugee resettlement and assistance program is
a critical component of the United States' strong commitment
to freedom.
(3) The United States refugee admissions program has been
in decline for much of the last 5 years, resulting in a
chronic inability of the United States to meet the ceiling on
refugee admissions that has been set by the President each
year.
(4) Refugee applicants have always undergone rigorous
security screenings. The September 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks on the United States have rightfully increased the
awareness of the need to ensure that all aliens seeking
admission to the United States would not endanger the United
States. In order to ensure that the refugee admissions
program remains available in a timely way to deserving and
qualified refugee applicants, all personnel involved in
screening such applicants should closely coordinate their
work in order to ensure both the timely and complete
screening of such applicants.
(5) Private voluntary agencies have and continue to provide
valuable information to State Department officials for
refugee processing, and along with Embassy personnel, can be
utilized to assist in the preliminary screening of refugees
so that State Department officials can focus to a greater
extent on security.
(6) In order to meet the ceiling set by the Administration,
which has been 70,000 refugees in recent years, a broader
cross-section of the world's 15,000,000 refugees could be
considered for resettlement in the United States if the
Department of State were to expand existing refugee
processing priority categories in a reasonable and
responsible manner. Expansion of refugee selection should
include the expanded use of both the existing category
reserved for refugees of special interest to the United
States as well as the existing categories reserved for family
reunification.
(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this section to provide
the Department of State with tools to enable it to carry out
its responsibilities with greater efficiency with respect to
the identification and processing of refugee applicants.
(c) Sense of Congress Concerning Annual Admission of
Refugees.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) efforts of the Department of State to admit 70,000
refugees, as allocated through presidential determinations,
for fiscal year 2003 are strongly supported and recommended;
and
(2) the Administration should seek to admit at least 90,000
refugees in fiscal year 2004 and at least 100,000 in fiscal
year 2005.
(d) Refugee Security Coordinator.--
(1) Establishment.--In order to further enhance overseas
security screening of the United States Refugee Resettlement
Program, there shall be within the Bureau of Population,
Refugees, and Migration, a Refugee Security Coordinator who
shall report to the Assistant Secretary of State for
Population, Refugees, and Migration.
(2) Responsibilities.--The Refugee Security Coordinator
referred to in paragraph (1) shall be responsible for--
(A) ensuring that applicants for admission to the United
States undergo a security review to ensure that the admission
of such applicants would not pose a security risk to the
United States;
(B) ensuring that, to the greatest extent practicable, such
security reviews are completed within 45 days of the
submission of the information necessary to conduct such a
review;
(C) providing appropriate officials in the Department of
Justice and the Department of Homeland Security pertinent
information for conducting security reviews for applicants;
and
(D) making recommendations on procedural and personnel
changes and levels of appropriations that the Refugee
Security Coordinator considers appropriate for the various
agencies of government involved in conducting security
reviews for refugee applicants in order to ensure that such
reviews are complete and accurate, protect the security of
the United States, and are completed in a timely manner.
(3) Authority.--In carrying out the responsibilities set
forth in paragraph (2), the Refugee Security Coordinator
shall have full authority to work with the various agencies
of government to ensure that security reviews are conducted
in a complete and timely manner, including authority to
inquire about, and require action on, any particular
application.
(e) Use of Nongovernmental Organizations in Referral of
Refugees.--
(1) Private voluntary organization referrals.--The
Secretary of State shall develop and utilize partnerships
with private voluntary agencies that permit such agencies to
assist in the identification and referral of refugees,
through the creation of networks of field-based
nongovernmental organizations with immediate and direct
knowledge of refugees in need of a durable solution.
(2) Use of voluntary agencies in overseas refugee
processing.--In processing refugees for admission to the
United States, the Department of State shall utilize private
voluntary agencies with ties to domestic constituencies.
(3) Refugee response teams.--
(A) Establishment.--In order to make the processing of
refugees more efficient and effective, enhance the quality of
refugee resettlement programs, and to augment the capacity of
the United States Government to identify, process, assist,
and counsel individuals for eventual adjudication by the
Department of Homeland Security as refugees, the Secretary of
State shall establish and utilize the services of Refugee
Response Teams (in this section referred to as ``RRTs'').
RRTs shall be coordinated by the Assistant Secretary of State
for Population, Refugees, and Migration, or the Assistant
Secretary's designee, and work with the Refugee Security
Coordinator.
(B) Composition.--RRTs shall be comprised of
representatives of private voluntary organizations that have
experience in refugee law, policy, and programs.
(C) Responsibilities of the rrts.--RRTs shall be
responsible for--
(i) monitoring refugee situations, with a view toward
identifying those refugees whose best durable solution is
third country resettlement;
(ii) preparing profiles and documentation for resettlement
consideration by the United States Government;
(iii) augmenting or establishing an overseas operation,
especially in response to urgent developments requiring quick
responses or more staff resources than are available in the
existing processing entities;
(iv) assisting with training and technical assistance to
existing international organizations and other processing
entities; and
(v) such other responsibilities as may be determined by the
Secretary of State.
(D) Responsibilities of the secretary.--The Secretary of
State shall establish appropriate training seminars for RRT
personnel and make use of RRTs in situations where existing
mechanisms are unable to identify and process refugees in a
timely manner.
(f) Performance Standards.--In consultation with private
voluntary organizations, the Secretary of State shall
establish performance standards to ensure accountability and
effectiveness in the tasks carried out in subsection (e).
(g) Consideration of Various Groups.--To ensure that there
is adequate planning across fiscal years and that both the
Department of State's planning and processing operations
result in adequate numbers of travel-ready refugees to
fulfill the admissions goals set forth in the determinations
on refugee admissions required by sections 207(a) and 207(b)
of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1157(a) and
(b)), the Secretary of State shall work to ensure that--
(1) those refugees in special need, including long-stayers
in first countries of asylum, unaccompanied refugee minors,
urban refugees, and refugees in women-headed households be
given special attention for resettlement processing;
(2) attempts are made to expand processing of those
refugees of all nationalities who have close family ties to
citizens and residents in the United States, including
spouses, unmarried children, or parents of persons lawfully
admitted to the United States, regardless of their country of
nationality, country of habitual residence, or first country
of asylum, as well as grandparents, grandchildren, married
sons or daughters, or siblings of United States citizens or
other persons lawfully admitted to the United States;
(3) attempts are made to expand the number of refugees
considered who are of special concern to the United States;

[[Page S9159]]

(4) individuals otherwise eligible for access to the United
States refugee admissions program seeking admission to the
United States as refugees are not excluded from being
interviewed because of such individual's country of
nationality, country of habitual residence, or first country
of asylum; and
(5) expanded access is provided to broader categories of
refugees seeking admission to the United States, thus
reducing instances of relationship-based misrepresentation by
persons who art bona fide refugees but who resort to such
misrepresentation merely as a way to be interviewed for
refugee status.
(h) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit a
report to Congress that includes information concerning the
following:
(1) Efforts of the Refugee Security Coordinator in assuming
the responsibilities set forth in subsection (d) that
includes--
(A) a description of the process involved in conducting
security reviews for refugee applicants;
(B) a listing of the various agencies of the Federal
Government that are involved in conducting security reviews

SEC.   . SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN OIL
RESERVE FUND FOR IRAQ.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Coalition forces have liberated the Iraqi people from
the tyranny of Saddam Hussein and his regime.
(2) The vast mineral resources, including oil, of Iraq
could enrich the present and future generations of Iraqis.
(3) Iraq has one of the largest known petroleum reserves in
the world, and those reserves could be used to foster
economic development and democratization in Iraq.
(4) Very little of the potential of the oil sector in Iraq
has actually been harnessed.
(5) Under Saddam Hussein's regime, the proceeds from those
resources were used to build palaces, enrich the members of
the Republican Guard, oppress the Iraqi people, and stifle
their desires for a democratic government.
(6) As many of the nations of the Persian Gulf demonstrate,
possession of large petroleum reserves alone does not ensure
economic development or democratization.
(7) The development of a vibrant democracy requires a
strong middle class, a free press, and free and fair
elections.
(8) The future Government of Iraq will face a variety of
reconstruction challenges ranging from restoring
infrastructure to providing basic human services like
education and healthcare.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Secretary of Energy should develop a proposal for
the establishment of an oil reserve fund for Iraq and submit
the proposal to appropriate representatives of the Iraqi
people, the Director of the Office of Reconstruction and
Humanitarian Assistance, and the President's Envoy to Iraq;
(2) the proposal should take proper account of the need of
Iraq for funding of reconstruction, meeting its international
financial obligations, and providing essential human services
such as education and health care;
(3) the fund should be called the Iraqi Freedom Fund and
should be based on models such as the Alaska Permanent Fund,
as well as other appropriate models;
(4) the fund should be managed on a for-profit basis to
produce additional revenues;
(5) a portion of the annual earnings of the fund should be
distributed to the Iraqi people as direct payments, or
through programs designed to promote the establishment of a
permanent middle class, with the remainder of the fund to be
capitalized to allow the fund to grow for future generations;
and
(6) the goal of the fund should be to encourage maximum
participation by the people of Iraq in the operation of their
government, to promote the proper use of the natural
resources of Iraq, and to ensure that the Iraqi people
benefit from the development of the natural resources of
Iraq.
