SA 607. Mr. WICKER submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 1105, making omnibus appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows: On page 927, strike line 14 and all that follows through page 929, line 20, and insert the following: (b) Availability of Funds.--Funds appropriated under the heading ``International Organizations and Programs'' in this Act that are available for UNFPA and are not made available for UNFPA because of the operation of any provision of law, shall be transferred to the ``Global Health and Child Survival'' account and shall be made available for family planning, maternal, and reproductive health activities, subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives. (c) Prohibition on Use of Funds in China.--None of the funds made available under ``International Organizations and Programs'' may be made available for the UNFPA for a country program in the People's Republic of China. (d) Conditions on Availability of Funds.--Amounts made available under ``International Organizations and Programs'' for fiscal year 2006 for the UNFPA may not be made available to UNFPA unless-- (1) the UNFPA maintains amounts made available to the UNFPA under this section in an account separate from other accounts of the UNFPA; (2) the UNFPA does not commingle amounts made available to the UNFPA under this section with other sums; and (3) the UNFPA does not fund abortions. (e) Report to Congress and Dollar-for-Dollar Withholding of Funds.-- (1) In general.--Not later than 4 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit a report to the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives indicating the amount of funds that the UNFPA is budgeting for the year in which the report is submitted for a country program in the People's Republic of China. (2) Deduction.--If a report submitted under paragraph (1) indicates that the UNFPA plans to spend funds for a country program in the People's Republic of China in the year covered by the report, the amount of such funds that the UNFPA plans to spend in the People's Republic of China shall be deducted from the funds made available to the UNFPA after March 1 for obligation for the remainder of the fiscal year in which the report is submitted. (f) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section may be construed to limit the authority of the President to deny funds to any organization by reason of the application of another provision of this Act or any other provision of law. ______
