Summary of Estimates

The Committee recommendation for the fiscal year 2010
budget for the activities under the jurisdiction of the
Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs
is $48,700,000,000 in new discretionary budget authority, which
is $1,901,713,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level,
including supplemental appropriations and $3,344,063,000 below
the fiscal year 2010 budget request. An additional $158,900,000
is for mandatory spending. The Committee notes that in fiscal
year 2009, $3,679,500,000 in supplemental appropriations was
provided in Public Law 110-252, $602,000,000 was provided in
Public Law 111-5, and $9,700,213,000 was provided in Public Law
111-32, including $2,534,375 for fiscal year 2010 requests.

FOREIGN ASSISTANCE AND DIPLOMACY

The Committee is aware of the importance of ensuring that
foreign assistance is targeted, efficient, and effective in
furthering the interests of the United States abroad. This
requires ongoing oversight and reform of programs and
implementers by both the executive branch and Congress. The
Committee has endeavored to provide this oversight and reform
in the fiscal year 2010 act and accompanying report.
Foreign assistance and diplomacy are essential to
safeguarding the Nation's security, whether through military
assistance programs that meet the needs of our allies in
troubled regions, public diplomacy programs that serve to
counter the misinformation spread by our adversaries,
agriculture programs that provide food security, health
programs that control the spread of communicable diseases and
save lives in the most desolate and desperate of places, or
education and training programs that help develop the skills of
future generations. The return on the investments in these
programs often takes years. Acts of international terrorism
against the United States over the past two decades and the
recent H1N1 pandemic underscore the absolute need for such
programs--and deft diplomacy.
The failure of foreign assistance programs and diplomacy is
costly to the taxpayer and the men and women called upon to
serve in harm's way. The Committee continues its investments in
personnel and training at the Department of State and USAID to
sharpen the Nation's diplomatic and development edge.

COUNTRY OVERVIEWS

In its review of the fiscal year 2010 budget request, the
Committee identified countries of interest, several of which
are discussed below:
Afghanistan.--The Committee recommends $2,761,500,000 for
assistance for Afghanistan from all accounts in this act, which
is equal to the budget request.
The Committee notes the substantial investment in
Afghanistan's development to date, and shares the view of the
Department of State's Special Representative for Afghanistan
and Pakistan that improvements in these programs and activities
are needed. The Committee remains concerned with factors that
undermine progress in that country, including: violence against
the Afghan people by the Taliban and other extremists; weak and
ineffective governance; allegations of official corruption;
expensive and uncoordinated aid programs; human rights abuses
including oppression of women and girls; and illicit poppy
cultivation and drug trafficking. The Committee expects the
Government of Afghanistan to do its share in defeating
terrorism and providing a safe and stable country for its
citizens. To help the Government of Afghanistan accomplish
these goals, the Department of State and USAID should bolster
Afghan ownership of the country's development and work with
Afghans to plan and implement programs.
Burma.--The Committee recommends $39,850,000 for Burma
programs from all accounts in this act, which is $3,000,000
above the budget request.
The Committee shares the view of the Department of State
and NGO community that more must be done to help the people of
Burma who have long been repressed by a military junta that
does not provide for basic needs. The Committee recognizes the
difficult and controlled programmatic environment inside Burma
and along Burma's borders with Thailand and India, and
appreciates the dedication and service of those providing
assistance. The Committee underscores that the root of Burma's
problems are political in nature, and any effective resolution
requires the full participation of the National League for
Democracy and the ethnic nationalities.
Cambodia.--The Committee recommends $72,770,000 for
assistance for Cambodia from all accounts in this act, which is
equal to the budget request.
The Committee does not recognize Cambodia as a functioning
democracy, and notes that official corruption and weak rule of
law perpetuate a cycle of poverty, which is exacerbated by the
global economic crisis. Nonetheless, the Committee supports
continued investment in that country, particularly given its
unique horrific past, and understands that weak states like
Cambodia can become a safe haven for terrorists and other
criminal elements. The Committee notes the positive steps taken
by the Government of Cambodia to investigate and prosecute
cases of human trafficking.
Egypt.--The Committee recommends $1,295,200,000 for
assistance for Egypt, which, when combined with funding
appropriated in Public Law 111-32 to meet fiscal year 2010
requirements, equals the budget request. An additional
$50,000,000 was also included in Public Law 111-32 under the
ESF heading.
The Committee notes the importance of Egypt to United
States security interests in the region, especially regarding
peace between Israelis and Palestinians. The Committee
encourages continued partnership on mutual concerns,
particularly economic and political reforms, human rights, and
counterterrorism. The Committee includes language providing for
an endowment that could serve as a lasting source of support
for this bilateral relationship.
Indonesia.--The Committee recommends $207,100,000 for
assistance for Indonesia from all accounts in this act, which
is $2,770,000 above the budget request.
The Committee endorses the administration's efforts to
build a comprehensive partnership with Indonesia that will
serve to strengthen the bilateral relationship. The Committee
supports increased cooperation in areas of mutual interest,
including security, economic development, environmental
protection, military and judicial reform, and human rights. The
Committee recognizes the advancement of democracy in that
country. The Committee also supports the return of the Peace
Corps to Indonesia. The Committee remains concerned with the
lack of progress in bringing to justice military officers
credibly alleged to have committed violations of human rights.
Iran.--The Committee recommends $40,000,000 under the ESF
heading for programs and activities to support reforms in Iran,
and to counter Iranian influence throughout the Middle East
region.
The Committee underscores its support for the aspirations
of the people of Iran for representative governance, and notes
the growing illegitimacy of the ruling clerics and incumbent
officials in Iran and abroad.
Iraq.--The Committee recommends $459,300,000 for assistance
for Iraq in title III of this act, which is $40,700,000 below
the budget request.
The near-term challenges for Iraq are significant, and
include the need to maintain security and stability during a
period of reduction of U.S. Armed Forces, and to conduct
credible and competitive national elections. Responsible and
visionary Iraqi leadership is essential in furthering the
development of a peaceful and stable country in which citizens
can live without violence and fear. The Committee provides
authority to the Secretary of State to make available
additional FMF assistance for border security for countries in
the Middle East region, such as Jordan, should the situation in
Iraq deteriorate significantly.
Israel.--The Committee recommends $2,220,000,000 for
assistance for Israel, which when combined with funding
appropriated in Public Law 111-32 to meet fiscal year 2010
requirements, equals the budget request. The Committee
continues to recognize the important relationship between the
United States and Israel, and of United States leadership in
helping to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Jordan.--The Committee recommends $542,950,000 for
assistance for Jordan, a key U.S. ally in a troubled region,
from all accounts in this act, which when combined with funding
appropriated in Public Law 111-32 to meet fiscal year 2010
requirements, equals the budget request.
Mongolia.--The Committee recommends up to $8,850,000 for
assistance for Mongolia in title III of this act, which is
$1,700,000 above the budget request. Funds are provided under
the ESF heading to initiate partnerships on regional issues of
mutual interest.
North Korea.--The Committee does not recommend $98,000,000
requested for energy-related assistance for North Korea.
The Committee recognizes that political leadership
transition in closed societies are often disruptive, more so as
Pyongyang aspires to be a nuclear power. The Committee
encourages the PRC and Russia to play a constructive role in
encouraging North Korea to denuclearize.
Pakistan.--The Committee recommends $1,280,000,000 for
assistance for Pakistan in title III of this act, which is
equal to the budget request. Funds are also provided in title
IV for security assistance, in addition to the $700,000,000
provided for Pakistan under the Pakistan Counterinsurgency
Capability Fund in Public Law 111-32.
The Committee strongly encourages the Government of
Pakistan to redouble efforts to address the myriad challenges
that give rise and opportunity to extremism in that country,
including the lack of education and economic opportunities,
corruption, poor governance, and human rights abuses.
Assistance provided in this act and prior appropriations acts
can only be effective if the Government of Pakistan
demonstrates sustained political will to address these
challenges, and to meet the basic needs of its citizens. The
Committee expects Pakistan to demonstrate such will in the
future, and to constructively engage with neighbors in the
region to improve the political, security, and economic
situation. The Committee also anticipates the administration
may submit budget requests for assistance for Pakistan in the
future to meet humanitarian needs arising from conflict.
Philippines.--The Committee recommends $142,000,000 for
assistance for the Philippines from all accounts in this act,
which is $17,650,000 above the budget request.
The Committee appreciates the relationship between the
United States and the Philippines, and recommends assistance
for programs and activities that support economic development,
good governance, and the rule of law. In addition, assistance
is provided to strengthen the bilateral military and security
relationship to counter terrorism in the region.

PROGRAM ISSUES

Airwing.--The Committee provided $25,000,000 for the
Department of State's Afghanistan airwing in Public Law 111-32,
an amount that exceeded the supplemental budget request by
$25,000,000. The Committee therefore recommends $35,000,000 for
such purposes in fiscal year 2010, which is $25,000,000 below
the budget request.
The Committee expects the Department of State and USAID to
continue to follow the airwing directives, including inter-
agency coordination and communications interoperability,
contained in Public Law 111-32.
Cultural Heritage.--The Committee recommends $7,500,000 to
preserve cultural heritage, of which $6,000,000 is for the
Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation and $1,000,000 is
for the Cultural Antiquities Task Force. This is an increase of
$1,000,000 above the budget request, to support at least two
large projects of historic cultural significance. The
Department of State should consult with the Committee prior to
the obligation of funds.
Diplomatic Security.--The Committee recognizes the
important role of Diplomatic Security to protect personnel,
facilities, and information in the United States and abroad,
and encourages the Department of State to adequately address
issues raised in the Office of Inspector General Report Number
ISP-I-09-16, April 2009.
The Committee provided $13,375,000 in Public Law 111-32 for
a diplomatic security training facility, an amount that
exceeded the budget request by $13,375,000. The Committee
therefore recommends no funding for such purposes in fiscal
year 2010.
Information Technology.--The Committee supports the budget
request for IT salaries and programs, including for
cybersecurity, and encourages the Department of State to
coordinate such activities with USAID and other Federal
agencies, as appropriate. Given the inherent international
functions of diplomacy and development, the Committee believes
the Department of State and USAID to be particularly vulnerable
to cyber attacks.
Intelligence and Research.--The Committee supports the
budget request for 15 new positions in the Bureau of
Intelligence and Research, and recommends an additional
$1,000,000 to support six additional analysts for priority
countries.
Iraq Operations.--The Committee notes that the Department
of State estimates the monthly costs for Iraq operations at
$130,100,000, a rate that is 14 times greater than the
estimated monthly costs for current Afghanistan operations. The
Committee believes this amount is not sustainable, and drains
resources from other Department of State priorities overseas.
The Committee provided $486,000,000 for Department of State
operations in Iraq in Public Law 111-32, an amount that
exceeded the budget request by $336,000,000. The Committee
recommends $1,100,000,000 for such purposes in fiscal year
2010.
The Committee directs that the overhead cover security
standard for all buildings and facilities located on the NEC in
Baghdad shall meet uniform requirements, as established by the
Department of State. To the extent Department of State real
estate is provided for another department or agency's exclusive
use, that department or agency is responsible for meeting such
standard.
Labor Officers.--The Committee is concerned that a number
of labor officer posts at U.S. missions overseas have been
vacant in recent years. Labor officers play a critical role in
reporting on the worst forms of child labor and human
trafficking, freedom of association, and labor rights
compliance among trading partners. The Committee supports
designation of personnel to these vacant posts and the
allocation of greater resources in support of labor diplomacy.
Locally Employed Staff.--According to the Department of
State's June 2009 report ``Trends in Overseas Staffing and
Support for Chiefs of Mission'', over 56,000 LES work in U.S.
missions overseas, an increase of 1.8 percent above the
calendar year 2008 level. Embassies in Sudan, Pakistan,
Afghanistan, China, Mexico, Ethiopia, South Africa, India,
Ghana and Canada have all had significant increases in LES
positions over the past 2 years. Embassies in Belgium, Nepal,
Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Iraq and Eritrea have
all had decreases during the same period.
The Committee appreciates the support provided by LES to
Embassy operations and programs, and recognizes that they often
possess invaluable institutional knowledge on policies and
procedures at their respective missions. The Committee is
aware, however, that LES may serve without adequate salary
increases and/or at less-than-prevailing wages and compensation
packages, resulting in attrition. Hiring new LES may pose
significant challenges if improvements are not made in
compensation. The Committee endorses the recommendations of the
Office of the Inspector General on LES compensation issues
contained in Report Number ISP-I-09-44, April 2009.
To begin to address the challenges posed by LES
compensation, the Committee recommends $695,000,000 for LES
salaries (excluding those under the Local Guard Program), and
authorizes the use of such funds for awards and special
benefits, including compensation should LES be killed in the
line of duty. The Committee requires the Secretary of State to
consult on the proposed guidelines for awards and special
benefits for LES.
Office of Global Women's Issues.--The Committee recommends
$2,000,000 for the Office of Global Women's Issues in fiscal
year 2010. The Committee supports efforts by this Office to
integrate gender issues into assistance programs across all
sectors of development and to generate public-private
partnerships to assist women and girls. The Committee
recognizes that gender issues can be addressed by assistance
programs provided through Federal agencies involved in
development, and directs the Ambassador-at-Large for Global
Women's Issues to consult with USAID, the Departments of
Agriculture, Defense, Health and Human Services, Justice, and
other relevant Federal agencies to establish metrics
identifying the benefits accrued for women globally by U.S.
assistance.
Personnel and Training.--The Department of State has
undertaken several initiatives to increase personnel and
training to reverse the effects of the downsizing that occurred
in the 1990s, and to strengthen the diplomatic corps following
the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, including:
the Diplomatic Readiness Initiative (2002-2004);
Transformational Diplomacy/Global Repositioning (2006-2008);
and the Human Resources Initiative (2008 to the present).
However, the sustained impact of these initiatives has been
eroded by significant personnel needs in Iraq and Afghanistan,
which created vacancies in key regions such as South and
Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Western
Hemisphere. The Committee notes that 2008 data from the
Department of State indicates 1,619 vacancies worldwide, and
several hundred positions filled by below-grade personnel or
personnel sent to the field without adequate training.
The Committee supports the budget request for the Human
Resources Initiative, which will provide an additional 565
positions, including 332 to expand the Department's overseas
presence. The Committee also supports the budget request for an
additional 661 positions. The Committee directs the Secretary
of State to submit a report on the overall fiscal year 2010
requirements, including how such personnel and training
contribute to a projected 3-year strategy for personnel growth,
training and funding requirements for the Department. The
Committee restricts the obligation of funds for new positions
on the submission of this strategy document, which should serve
as a detailed blueprint for the Human Resources Initiative.
Public Diplomacy.--The Committee recommends a total of
$506,278,000 for public diplomacy programs, to be funded
through direct appropriations and Department of State fees.
While the Committee supports English Access
Microscholarship, the Committee directs the Bureau of Education
and Cultural Affairs to bolster follow-up activities for EAM
alumni to maximize the impact of this program.
The Committee recommends the Department of State continue
to support public diplomacy activities in Pakistan that train
madrassa leaders, helping them improve the quality of
education, expand education to include scientific and social
disciplines, adopt pedagogy that develop critical thinking
skills among students, and encourage adherence to the
principles of tolerance and human rights in Islam. The
Committee recommends that the Department also consider
supporting English language training for madrassa leaders.
Tibet.--The Committee recognizes the important role played
by the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues in implementing
Tibet programs and policies. The Committee urges the Secretary
of State to continue to provide support for the Coordinator in
carrying out the broad responsibilities detailed in section
621(d) of Public Law 107-228, as well as for convening
coordinating meetings for appropriate U.S. Government agencies,
NGOs, and representatives of the Tibetan leadership.
Trafficking in Persons.--The Committee recommends
$12,000,000 for the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in
Persons, which is $6,990,000 above the budget request.

REPORTS

Public Diplomacy.--The Committee is concerned with limited
public access to Information Resource Centers that were moved
onto U.S. Embassy compounds, 40 percent of which are accessible
by appointment only and 11 percent of which have no public
access at all. The Secretary of State shall submit a report to
the Committee not later than 90 days after enactment of this
act that assesses the security implications and public
diplomacy gains of establishing U.S. public diplomacy
facilities in locations that maximize their use, consistent
with the authority given to the Secretary under section
606(a)(2)(B) of Appendix G of Public Law 106-113 to waive
certain requirements of that act.
Security Requirements and Programs.--The Secretary of State
shall submit a report to the Committee on Appropriations not
later than 90 days after enactment of this act describing
guidelines used by the Department of State to consider the
cost-benefit ratio of the conduct (including oversight) of
foreign assistance and public diplomacy programs in Iraq and
Afghanistan, and the security requirements for such programs.
The Committee notes that the security costs associated with PRT
operations in these countries are not sustainable without
support from the Department of Defense.

CIVILIAN STABILIZATION INITIATIVE

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2009.................................... \1\$45,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 323,272,000
Committee recommendation................................ 150,000,000

\1\An additional $30,000,000 was provided for CSI in title II in fiscal
year 2009.

The Committee recommends $150,000,000 for the Civilian
Stabilization Initiative, which is $173,272,000 below the
budget request and $75,000,000 above prior year enacted levels.
The Committee recognizes the potential of the CSI to
mitigate the impact of conflict and instability abroad,
particularly in Afghanistan. The Committee believes that the
success of the CSI can best be achieved through gradual stand
up and implementation. Funding increases should be based on
efficient operations and measurable performance successes, both
of which are works in progress. The Committee recommends
funding for CSI at a level that will permit sensible
operational expansion.
Funds for CSI are contained under a single heading, as
requested, and are allocated in the following table, subject to
the requirements of section 7019 of this act:

-----------------------------------------------
Total--CSI................................................ 323,272 150,000 -173,272
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Airlift.--The Committee is concerned that the CSI has no
dedicated airlift capabilities, which calls into question its
ability to rapidly deploy Civilian Response Corps personnel.
Deployment funds are therefore conditioned on a Secretary of
State certification that the Department of State has signed a
memorandum of understanding with the Department of Defense
relating to the provision of airlift for CRC personnel and
equipment.
Equipment.--The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for
equipment for the CSI, which is $45,191,000 below the request.
The Committee underscores that priority for armored vehicles
should be given to existing Department of State overseas
requirements.
Personnel.--The Committee does not recommend funding for a
Civilian Response Corps Reserve Component. The Committee will
consider such funding after the CSI has established a record of
effective operations, and can demonstrate programmatic
accomplishments.

CAPITAL INVESTMENT FUND

Appropriations, 2009.................................... \1\$361,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 160,000,000

$290,000,000 from Public Law 111-5, of which $38,000,000 was transferred
to the Capital Investment Fund of USAID.

The Committee recommends $160,000,000 for the Capital
Investment Fund, which is equal to the budget request.

and $24,122,000 from Public Law 111-32.

The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for the Office of
Inspector General, which is equal to the budget request, of
which $23,000,000 is for the Special Inspector General for
Afghanistan and $23,000,000 is for the Special Inspector
General for Iraq.

EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $538,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 633,243,000

Every program for which the Committee recommends funding in
the previous table is established pursuant to an act of
Congress, or is a program for which funding is authorized by an
act of Congress, or was included in the President's budget
request for fiscal year 2010.
Youth Exchange.--The Committee supports the goals of the
Youth Exchange and Study Program, which enables secondary
school students from countries with significant Muslim
populations to study in the United States. The Committee
recommends $25,000,000 for this program in fiscal year 2010.
Paul Simon Study Abroad Foundation.--The Committee is aware
of legislation to authorize appropriations for the Senator Paul
Simon Study Abroad Foundation, which would provide
opportunities for college-age students to study abroad. The
Committee will consider a request for funding for this program
if it is authorized by law.
One-time International Exchange Grant Program.--The
Committee recommends $8,000,000 to provide one-time competitive
grants for international exchanges that address issues of
mutual interest to the United States and other countries,
consistent with the criteria established in fiscal year 2008.
This program shall be only for the actual exchange of people
and should benefit a population that is not being addressed
through existing authorized exchanges. The Secretary of State
shall submit a report to the Committee of those organizations
that are eligible for a grant and, not later than September 1,
2010, a report describing the grant recipients and intended use
of funds.
The Committee encourages the Department to utilize this
program to expand international exchanges in areas that are not
predominantly served by other U.S. Government exchange
programs, such as exchange with developing countries; community
leaders who would not traditionally have an opportunity to
participate in an exchange; students and youth with high
financial need; and minority ethnic groups. The Committee notes
that an exchange program that received a one-time grant in a
previous year is ineligible for additional one-time funding,
but the Committee encourages the Department to consider new
proposals from previously funded grantees within discretionary
funding if they meet appropriate guidelines.
Exchange programs eligible for consideration in fiscal year
2010 include: Monmouth University; State University of New
York, Levin Institute; Ohio Northern University College of Law;
Sister Cities International; Spelman College; University of
Iowa; and the University of Vermont.

REPRESENTATION ALLOWANCES

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $8,175,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 8,175,000
Committee recommendation................................ 8,175,000

The Committee recommends $8,175,000 for Representation
Allowances, which is equal to the budget request, for
reimbursement to Foreign Service Officers for expenditures
incurred in their official capacities abroad in establishing
and maintaining relations with officials of foreign governments
and members of local communities. The Committee recommends that
not more than $500,000 of the funds made available under this
account and under the Emergencies in the Diplomatic and
Consular Service heading may be made available for official
representation funds for the Office of the Chief of Protocol.

PROTECTION OF FOREIGN MISSIONS AND OFFICIALS

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $22,814,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 27,159,000
Committee recommendation................................ 27,159,000

The Committee recommends $27,159,000 for Protection of
Foreign Missions and Officials, which is equal to the budget
request, to reimburse local governments and communities for the
extraordinary costs incurred in providing protection for
international organizations, foreign missions and officials,
and foreign dignitaries under certain circumstances.
The Committee intends that in instances where a local
jurisdiction will realize a financial benefit from a visit by a
foreign delegation, such circumstances should be taken into
account by the Department in assessing the need for
reimbursement under this program. The Committee expects the
Department to provide reimbursement to local jurisdictions on a
timely basis if claims are fully justified.

EMBASSY SECURITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE

Appropriations, 2009...................................\1\$2,669,369,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 1,815,050,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,724,150,000

\1\The enacted level includes $1,706,569,000 from Public Law 111-8,
$41,300,000 from Public Law 110-252 and $921,500,000 from Public Law
111-32, of which $91,000,000 is for programs and activities requested
for fiscal year 2010.

The Committee recommends $1,724,150,000 for Embassy
Security, Construction, and Maintenance for the management of
real property assets overseas in order to provide diplomatic
and consular missions with secure, safe, and functional
facilities, of which $876,850,000 is for maintenance and
planning for Department of State facilities and $847,300,000 is
for worldwide security upgrades, acquisition, and construction
program.
Environmental Health Hazards.--In prioritizing the
construction of NECs, the Committee directs the Department of
State to consider accelerating those projects where existing
facilities pose an environmental health hazard to personnel, as
in Mongolia.
Pakistan/Peshawar.--The Committee recognizes the necessity
for secure facilities in Peshawar, and provided $131,000,000
for such purposes in Public Law 111-32, an amount that exceeded
the supplemental budget request by $90,900,000. The Committee
therefore recommends no funding for such purposes in fiscal
year 2010.
Soft Targets.--The Committee recommends $6,500,000 for
security enhancement to soft targets such as overseas schools
and residential compounds, an increase of $2,000,000 above the
budget request. The Committee directs that additional funds be
used in countries and regions impacted by political
instability.

EMERGENCIES IN THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $9,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 10,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 10,000,000

The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for Emergencies in the
Diplomatic and Consular Service, which is equal to the budget
request, to meet unforeseen emergency requirements as
authorized by section 4 of the State Department Basic
Authorities Act. The Committee strongly encourages the
Department to prioritize expenditures for evacuations and
rewards and to minimize the use of this fund for travel and
representational expenses.

BUYING POWER MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $5,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 10,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 10,000,000

The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for the Buying Power
Maintenance Account, which is equal to the budget request, to
manage exchange rate losses in the cost of Department of State
operations overseas.

REPATRIATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $1,353,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 1,450,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,450,000

The Committee recommends $1,450,000 for the Repatriation
Loans Program Account, which is equal to the budget request, to
support a direct loan program in accordance with the Credit
Reform Act which assists United States citizens overseas in
dire need.

PAYMENT TO THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE IN TAIWAN

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $16,840,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 21,174,000
Committee recommendation................................ 21,174,000

The Committee recommends $21,174,000 for the American
Institute in Taiwan, which is equal to the budget request, to
support United States political and security interests, provide
consular services, and promote exchange programs in Taiwan.

PAYMENT TO THE FOREIGN SERVICE RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY FUND

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $157,100,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 158,900,000
Committee recommendation................................ 158,900,000

The Committee recommends $158,900,000 for the Foreign
Service Retirement and Disability Fund, which is equal to the
budget request, for Department of State and USAID mandatory
retirement and disability programs.

International Organizations

CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

Appropriations, 2009...................................\1\$1,604,400,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 1,797,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,697,000,000

\1\The enacted level includes $1,529,400,000 from Public Law 111-8 and
$75,000,000 from Public Law 110-252.

The Committee recommends $1,697,000,000 for Contributions
to International Organizations, which is $100,000,000 below the
budget request, for the assessed costs of U.S. membership in
international organizations as authorized by conventions,
treaties, or specific acts of Congress for fiscal year 2010.
The Committee notes that the budget request included
$175,000,000 to synchronize payments to international
organizations in the fiscal year in which they are due.
Although the Committee was unable to fund the full budget
request, it supports this goal particularly for organizations
that are important to U.S. security interests, such as NATO,
the IAEA, and the OPCW.

REPORT

Organization of American States.--The Committee supports
the OAS and is concerned with the fiscal difficulties it faces.
There is also a concern that the OAS may be stretched too thin
and that it should focus where it can have the most impact,
consistent with its mission. The Committee directs the
Secretary of State to submit a report not later than 90 days
after enactment of this act, detailing OAS advisory contracts
signed during the previous 12 months, efforts by the OAS
Secretary General to put the OAS on a solid financial footing
including by reducing operating expenses, and the
implementation and progress of OAS projects that receive U.S.
funding.

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES

Appropriations, 2009...................................\1\$2,388,500,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 2,260,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,125,000,000

\1\The enacted level includes $1,517,000,000 from Public Law 111-8,
$150,500,000 from Public Law 110-252 and $721,000,000 from Public Law
111-32.

The Committee recommends $2,125,000,000 for Contributions
for International Peacekeeping Activities, which is
$135,000,000 below the budget request.
The Committee recognizes the indispensable contribution to
international peace and stability provided by United Nations
peacekeeping activities, without the participation of United
States troops.
Cyprus.--The Committee recommends continued support for
U.N. peacekeeping at the assessed level for the current year in
Cyprus.
Somalia.--The Committee includes peacekeeping assistance
requested for Somalia, with modifications, under the PKO
account.

International Commissions

The Committee recommends funding to fully meet U.S. treaty
obligations to international commissions in fiscal year 2010
and recognizes that funds are requested under the Department of
State as a result of international treaties.

INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND WATER COMMISSION, UNITED STATES AND MEXICO

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

of which $2,359,000 is for the International Boundary
Commission, $8,000,000 is for the International Joint
Commission, and $2,249,000 is for the Border Environment
Cooperation Commission, which is equal to the budget request.

treatment, drinking water preservation, solid waste management,
and air quality improvement.

INTERNATIONAL FISHERIES COMMISSIONS

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $29,925,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 43,576,000

Afghanistan and Pakistan.--The Committee recommends up to
$16,000,000 for Pashto and Dari broadcasts targeted toward
Afghanistan and northwest Pakistan.
Cuba.--The Committee is concerned with reports, including
by the GAO, that United States Government-funded TV and radio
broadcasts to Cuba are routinely jammed by the Cuban Government
and may be having little effect. The Committee includes a
provision requiring a report on the efficacy of this program,
and alternative options for using the funds to reach a larger
audience in Cuba. The Committee believes that absent reliable
data that the broadcasts are cost effective, alternative
approaches for communicating with the Cuban people, including
DVDs, cell phones, and other handheld electronic devices should
be considered.
Internet Programs.--The Committee recommends that in the
interest of improving relations between the United States and
the Arab world, and leveraging emergent global online social
media networks, the Department of State should support efforts
which seek to increase cross-language (human and machine
assisted translation) social networking focused on Internet-
based social media sharing (text, voice, and video), and
collaborative media and educational projects which use the
Internet to bring together Arabic and English journalists and
educators.
Iranian Access.--The Committee recommends up to $8,000,000,
which includes up to $1,494,000 above the budget request, for
Radio Farda for activities to support transmission
enhancements, including through additional satellite channels,
if feasible, and increased proxy capacity, to improve the
Iranian public's access to broadcasts. These activities should
be coordinated with other activities supported by the
Department of State to increase communication and information
directed to audiences inside Iran.
National Communications Strategy.--The Committee notes that
a May 27, 2009 report by the Government Accountability Office
(GAO-09-679SP) concluded that U.S. strategic communication
efforts lack sufficient interagency coordination and planning,
and definition of roles and responsibilities. The Committee
encourages the administration to support agency-level plans as
part of its national communications strategy, as required by
section 1055(a) of Public Law 110-417, and to provide the
Committee with such information prior to the submission of the
fiscal year 2011 budget request.
The Committee notes that BBG's performance measurement
system is not currently linked to national communication
strategy goals. The Committee directs that not later than 60
days after enactment of this act, BBG submit a report to the
Committee detailing the national strategic communication goals
supported by BBG's strategic plan and activities, and which
goals, if any, BBG considers inconsistent with its mandate, to
include an explanation for such inconsistency.
North Korea.--The Committee recommends not less than
$8,000,000 for broadcasting into North Korea through RFA Korea
Service and VOA Korea Service, which is equal to the fiscal
year 2009 level.
Tibet.--The Committee recommends sufficient funding to
continue RFA and VOA Tibetan language services.

tuberculosis, malaria, avian influenza, global pandemics, and
other infectious diseases including neglected tropical
diseases, and to reduce child mortality, provide voluntary
family planning services, address the needs of vulnerable
children, and improve women's health.

GLOBAL HEALTH INITIATIVE

The Committee notes that despite U.S. leadership in saving
millions of lives from HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis,
thousands of children around the world die every day from
extreme poverty and preventable diseases. A more integrated and
sustainable approach to fighting disease, improving basic
healthcare, and strengthening health systems is necessary. The
Committee endorses the President's Global Health Initiative as
an opportunity to create a comprehensive and sustainable global
health strategy that identifies specific initiatives,
quantitative goals, and appropriate funding levels for global
health.

CHILD SURVIVAL AND MATERNAL HEALTH

The Committee recommends $2,414,000,000 for child and
maternal health activities under the GHCS account, which is
$78,000,000 above the request. The Committee recognizes that
among the most useful measures of the effectiveness of a
country's public health system is the number of children who
die before the age of 5 and the number of women who die from
pregnancy-related causes. The overwhelming majority of such
deaths could be prevented with low-cost interventions by
trained health care workers. Addressing this need should be a
priority of USAID's global health strategy.
Iodine Deficiency.--The Committee recommends not less than
$2,000,000 for UNICEF's IDD program. IDD is the leading
preventable cause of mental retardation in children. Funds
provided through the USAID partnership with UNICEF are
preventing the mental retardation of millions of children
through programs to iodize salt.
Polio.--The Committee recommends $32,000,000 for programs
to eradicate polio, an amount equal to prior fiscal years.
Funds should be used to provide for the delivery of vaccines
and the development of the infrastructure necessary to fully
implement the program and achieve its goals.
Vaccines and Immunization.--The Committee recommends
$79,000,000 for a contribution to the GAVI Fund.
Vitamin A and Other Micronutrients.--The Committee
recommends $33,000,000 for USAID's micronutrient program, of
which not less than $23,000,000 is for programs related to
vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is essential for the
functioning of the immune system and increases children's
resistance to disease and blindness.
Vulnerable Children.--The Committee recommends $15,000,000
for programs and activities that address the needs of
vulnerable children, of which not less than $2,000,000 is for
assistance for blind children. USAID should administer the
programs in a manner that delivers the maximum amount of funds
to the field.

FAMILY PLANNING/REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

The Committee recommends a total of $628,457,000 from all
accounts in this act for family planning and reproductive
health programs, including $50,000,000 for UNFPA.

HIV/AIDS

The Committee recommends a total of $5,709,000,000 for
programs and activities to combat HIV/AIDS, of which
$5,359,000,000 is for PEPFAR and $350,000,000 is for USAID.
Global Fund.--The Committee recommends not less than
$700,000,000 in this act for a U.S. contribution to the Global
Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
The Committee supports the Department of State and USAID's
ongoing effort to assist the Global Fund to more effectively
manage the demand side of its budget, and supports the recent
creation of the Working Group to Manage Supply and Demand. The
Committee is concerned with the Fund's proposal submission and
approval process, including the apparent lack of consideration
of the amount of undisbursed funds that are available for
existing programs in countries prior to the approval of new
proposals. The Committee believes that approving new proposals
without analyzing disbursements of existing funds encourages
countries to submit an unlimited number of proposals and is an
unsustainable programming model.
Mother-to-Child Transmission.--The Committee continues to
support programs that prevent mother-to-child transmission
[PMTCT] of HIV. The Committee directs the Global AIDS
Coordinator to provide the funds and technical assistance
necessary to expand access to PMTCT services.
Nutrition.--The Committee notes that nutrition plays a key
role in maintaining quality of life for people with HIV/AIDS,
and intends that HIV/AIDS funds be used for programs that
address the development and implementation of nutrition
support, guidelines, and care services for people living with
HIV/AIDS.
Reimbursements.--The Committee understands OGAC has agreed
to provide USAID reimbursements to cover direct and indirect
PEPFAR implementation costs incurred both at headquarters and
in the field, and expects OGAC and USAID to consult with the
Committee regarding fiscal year 2010 reimbursement levels in a
timely manner.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES

The Committee recommends a total of $973,000,000 for other
infectious diseases, including influenza, tuberculosis,
malaria, measles, meningitis, and neglected tropical diseases.
Influenza Pandemic Preparedness and Response.--The
Committee provided $50,000,000 for influenza pandemic
preparedness and response in Public Law 111-32 and recommends
$100,000,000 in this act in anticipation of the continuing
spread of Avian Influenza and the H1N1 virus.
Malaria.--The Committee recommends a total of $585,000,000
for programs to combat malaria. The Committee directs that
these funds be made available in accordance with country
strategic plans incorporating best public health practices
including insecticide-treated bed nets, artemisinin combination
therapies, and indoor residual spraying, and with significant
support for purchase of commodities and equipment. USAID is
encouraged to increase its investment in public-private
partnerships involved in research, development, access and
delivery of anti-malarial medications.
Neglected Tropical Diseases.--The Committee recommends
$70,000,000 to support expansion of USAID's integrated response
to neglected tropical diseases, including intestinal parasites,
schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis,
trachoma, soil transmitted helminthes, and leprosy. The
Committee recognizes the chronic disabilities and economic
burden that neglected tropical diseases inflict on society and
requests to be consulted prior to the obligation of funds,
including country-specific allocations.
Sickle Cell Disease.--The Committee recognizes the
destabilizing nature of sickle cell disease, and recommends
USAID work with other Federal departments and agencies on a
coordinated approach to combating the disease in Africa.
Tuberculosis.--The Committee recommends a total of
$201,000,000 for programs to combat TB. The Committee supports
the development of a new, safe, effective and affordable
vaccine to protect against all strains of TB, including MDR or
XDR. USAID should consider supporting clinical trials for TB
vaccines in developing countries.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Collaboration.--USAID should expand collaboration with
other donors and governments to develop new medicines,
diagnostics, and vaccines for diseases that particularly affect
developing countries.
Microbicides.--The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for
research on and development of microbicides to prevent HIV/
AIDS. The Committee encourages USAID to conduct external
consultations on program priorities and strategies to ensure
the most effective use of resources, and to facilitate
partnerships between industry and nonprofit product development
organizations.
Water.--The Committee commends USAID for its work to
improve access to clean drinking water through household water
treatment and hygiene programs, and recommends increased
funding for these activities to reduce the high percentage of
child morbidity and mortality due to waterborne illnesses.

PROGRAMS

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY

Biotechnology Research.--The Committee recommends not less
than $30,000,000 for plant and biotechnology research and
development programs to improve food security and income
generation, particularly in Africa and Asia.
Collaborative Research Support Programs.--The Committee
recommends $31,000,000 for CRSPs to improve food security and
income generation, particularly in Africa and Asia. The
Committee supports research and development on salt-resistant
crops and ridge tillage land use systems in West and sub-
Saharan Africa. The Committee recognizes the significance of
soil and water management in agricultural development and food
security and continues to support a CRSP in this area.
Dairy Development Programs.--The Committee continues its
support for dairy development programs.
Global Crop Diversity Trust.--The Committee recommends
$10,000,000 for a United States contribution to the Global Crop
Diversity Trust's endowment, which seeks to ensure the
viability of agriculture worldwide by conserving and making
available collections of crop diversity.
PVOs and Cooperatives.--The Committee directs the USAID
Administrator to make grants and cooperative agreements
available to PVOs and cooperatives to carry out agriculture and
rural development programs that meet the objectives of section
103(a)(1) of the FAA.
Water Management Systems.--The Committee recognizes the
significant role of efficient water management systems in the
promotion of agriculture and food security in developing
countries, and urges USAID to consider funding medium and long-
term water programs through agriculture assistance programs.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Cooperative Development Program.--The Committee has long
recognized the important role that U.S. cooperatives and credit
unions play in overseas programs as a means to lift low income
people out of poverty by mobilizing equity and savings for
community-based economic growth. The Committee recommends
$10,000,000 for USAID's Cooperative Development Program within
the Office of Private and Voluntary Cooperation.
Microenterprise Development Programs.--The Committee
recommends not less than $265,000,000 from all accounts in this
act for microfinance and microenterprise development programs
for the poor, especially women. The Committee directs that 50
percent of funds be for grants to private networks,
practitioner institutions, and NGOs, and that funds be provided
for microfinance service providers working with people infected
with HIV/AIDS.
The Committee encourages investment in a variety of
financial services that allows the poor to save, borrow, and
access insurance, remittances and other key services. USAID
should target half of all microfinance and microenterprise
funds to the very poor, as required by section 251(c) of the
FAA.
Trade Capacity Building.--The Committee recommends a total
of $300,149,000 in this act for trade capacity building,
including $25,000,000 for labor and environmental capacity
building for countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

EDUCATION

Basic Education.--The Committee recommends not less than
$800,000,000 in this act for basic education programs,
including programs aimed at improving early childhood
development, primary and secondary education, teacher training
and basic skills training for adults and out of school youth.
The Committee recommends continued funding for programs
that increase access to education for children in sub-Saharan
Africa through the reduction or elimination of school fees, and
which increase access to primary education for girls, including
in Ethiopia.
Higher Education.--The Committee recommends not less than
$200,000,000 in this act for higher education programs,
including $25,000,000 for such programs in Africa. Higher
education partnerships provide training for faculty and staff,
and strengthened institutional management such as revised
administrative procedures, new degree programs, expanded
curricula, and research opportunities. The Committee supports
the expansion of programs that establish higher education
partnerships between American and foreign higher education
institutions including community colleges, and recommends
$15,000,000 for such partnerships in Africa. Partnerships
should be funded on an open, competitive basis, and should
focus on such fields as agriculture, environment and natural
resources, engineering, science and technology, health,
education and teacher training, public administration, and
business management and economics.
Workforce Development.--The Committee recommends USAID
expand programs that assist youth and adults in acquiring
skills to find jobs and establish businesses, to include
technical and vocational training, workforce readiness
activities, and institutional capacity building to provide
demand driven workforce development, with special consideration
to gender issues. USAID should continue to support networks
among U.S. businesses, education providers and civil society
and their counterparts in developing countries to design and
implement workforce development programs for male and female
youth and adults.
American Schools and Hospitals Abroad Program.--The
Committee continues to recognize the contributions to U.S.
foreign policy by institutions funded by the ASHA program. The
Committee expects USAID to allocate sufficient sums to
administer the ASHA program from funds provided for operating
expenses, so it will not be necessary to expend program funds
for administrative purposes.
The Committee recommends $23,000,000 for the ASHA program
in fiscal year 2010, with the expectation that USAID will
allocate funds under terms and conditions similar to prior
fiscal years. The Committee underscores that such assistance is
not for permanent budget support to ASHA recipients, and that
proposals shall be considered in full and open competition, and
in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations.
The Committee recommends that priority be given to
institutions which demonstrate a need and commitment to private
fundraising to match government support, and to newer
applicants that demonstrate the best of American ideas and
practices in the regions they serve. The Committee recommends
USAID consider proposals from the following organizations,
among others: American Community School, Lebanon; American
University of Beirut; American University in Kosovo; Ashdod
Emergency Medical Center; EARTH University in Costa Rica; Edith
Wolfson Medical Center; Feinberg Graduate School of the
Weizmann Institute of Science; Hadassah Medical Organization;
Hebrew University; Johns Hopkins University's Centers in
Nanjing, China and Bologna, Italy; Kigali Medical University
Foundation; Lebanese American University; Robert College;
Rosary Sisters Hospital in Jordan; Tel Aviv University; and
Uganda Program on Cancer and Infectious Diseases.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMS

The Committee recognizes the daunting challenges posed by
global warming and the urgent need to help developing countries
reduce carbon emissions, adapt to rising temperatures and sea
levels, protect biodiversity, and implement policies and
practices for the sustainable use of natural resources. The
Committee recommends a total of $1,239,500,000 in this act for
climate change and environment programs and activities
administered by USAID, the Department of State, and the
Department of the Treasury. These efforts will also require the
participation of the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, and other Federal agencies.
Funds are allocated in the following table and subject to
the requirements of section 7019 of this act:

Climate Change.--The Committee recommends funding through
bilateral and multilateral mechanisms for programs and
activities to promote the sustainable use of renewable energy
technologies and energy efficient end-use technologies, carbon
sequestration, and carbon accounting. While the Committee
recommends $400,000,000 for the Clean Technology Fund,
$75,000,000 for the Strategic Climate Fund, and $10,000,000 for
the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility which are managed by the
World Bank, the Committee is concerned with the Bank's long
history of financing electric power plants fueled with coal or
other polluting fossil fuels, roads, large dams, and petroleum
and mining operations in pristine areas, and ignoring calls to
increase investments in renewable technologies. The Bank's
record of consultation with interested stake-holders and
affected groups also continues to fall short. The Committee
recommends contributions to these funds because it believes
there are no other existing mechanisms capable of managing
climate change resources focused on reducing greenhouse gas
emissions on the large scale necessary at this critical time,
but it limits the use of U.S. funds to only support for zero-
carbon technologies with the exception of the transportation
sector. The use of natural gas and other alternative fuels to
replace heavily polluting diesel buses and trains is
encouraged. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Treasury
to vigorously promote financing for zero-carbon technologies,
many of which are commercially viable, within the Clean
Technology Fund, as well as changes in the Bank's lending
practices within the energy sector generally. Similar limits
are imposed on USAID energy programs, for which funds should be
used, among other purposes, to directly support renewable
energy technologies such as solar-thermal, wind, small hydro,
and geo-thermal.
The Committee supports programs and activities to assist
developing countries adapt to the effects of global warming,
through USAID and the Least Developed Countries Fund and the
Special Climate Change Fund administered by the GEF. The
Committee notes that the U.S. population produces significant
amounts of global greenhouse gases, and believes that in
addition to providing practical solutions to serious challenges
facing inhabitants of developing countries with areas of low-
elevation, or that are dependent on agriculture or already
struggling with fresh water scarcity and recurrent droughts,
support for adaptation programs conveys a recognition of shared
responsibility to mitigate the impacts of climate change. The
Committee anticipates that far more resources will be necessary
for adaptation programs in the future.
The Committee directs USAID to review the relationships
between population growth and climate change to determine how
experience in implementing population-environment activities
applies to climate change adaptation and to efforts to increase
the resilience of local communities to climate change.
Biodiversity.--The Committee continues to support USAID's
programs and activities to protect biodiversity, including
forests, wildlife, and water ecosystems, and recommends a total
of $200,000,000 in fiscal year 2010, which is $5,000,000 above
the fiscal year 2009 level. The Committee recommends not less
than $25,000,000 for USAID's conservation programs in the
Amazon Basin, of which $15,000,000 is for the Initiative for
Conservation in the Andean Amazon and $10,000,000 is for such
activities in the Brazilian Amazon. In addition, $18,500,000 is
recommended for the Congo Basin Forest Partnership, including
not less than $2,500,000 for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's program to protect great apes in Central Africa. The
Committee supports continued funding for USAID's program to
protect the habitat of orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra, and
for USAID's program to protect wildlife in the Boma Jonglei
area of Southern Sudan.
The Committee also recommends additional assistance for
developing countries to protect endangered forests, wildlife,
and water ecosystems through international programs
administered by the U.S. Forest Service (forest and wildlife
conservation) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(multilateral species and migratory bird conservation). The
Committee encourages support for international programs of the
U.S. National Park Service (national park management) and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (coral reefs
and marine-protected areas).
Oceans.--The Committee is aware that CO2
emissions from burning fossil fuels and deforestation is
changing the acidity of the ocean in ways that pose grave
threats to fish and other ocean wildlife. The Committee expects
the Departments of State and Treasury to coordinate with NOAA
on the use of funds for climate change programs. The Committee
also recommends $10,000,000 for the Coral Triangle Initiative.

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Contracting.--The Committee is concerned that USAID's
increasing reliance on the use of Indefinite Quantity Contracts
[IQCs] and umbrella grants undermines competitive contracting
processes, inhibits the participation of smaller organizations
which bring niche expertise, and limits creative and innovative
approaches to development. Local knowledge and relationships
are the basis of effective development efforts, yet IQCs and
other large solicitations often go to organizations that do not
retain a permanent in-country presence beyond the scope of a
particular project.
The Committee is further concerned that decisions to
utilize IQCs and umbrella grants are often made principally for
reasons of administrative convenience rather than project
effectiveness. The Committee notes that lack of sufficient
administrative resources is partly responsible for this loss of
diversity in implementing organizations and expects that the
additional resources provided for staffing in this act will
help to reduce reliance on IQCs and umbrella grants.
Partner Vetting.--The Committee supports effective vetting
procedures to prevent U.S. foreign assistance funds from
supporting individuals or organizations involved in terrorism.
Such procedures are being implemented in the West Bank and
Gaza. The Committee is concerned that USAID plans to put into
effect a new PVS which, as currently proposed, could have
unintended, adverse consequences for assistance programs
implemented by NGOs and contractors. In order to ensure a new
PVS reflects the right balance between security, privacy and
effective implementation of assistance programs, the Committee
requires a new USAID Administrator to conduct a review of PVS
and consult with affected organizations and Congress.
Patrick Leahy War Victims Fund.--The Committee continues to
support the LWVF, administered by USAID, which assists persons
who are disabled as a result of armed conflict. The Committee
recommends $14,000,000 for the LWVF.
University Programs.--The Committee recommends the
Department of State and USAID consider proposals from the
following institutions, among others, through a transparent and
competitive funding process: University of Georgia; University
of Iowa; University of South Carolina; Utah State University;
Temple University School of Law; Flathead Valley Community
College; and University of Montana.
Victims of Torture.--The Committee recommends $13,000,000
for programs and activities that address the needs of victims
of torture. The Committee recommends support for centers for
victims of torture that provide services consistent with the
goals of Public Law 106-87. An additional $7,100,000 is
recommended for the U.N. Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture
under the IO&P account.
Water.--The Committee recommends not less than $315,000,000
from all accounts in this act for water sanitation and supply
projects pursuant to Public Law 109-121. Funds should be used
to provide safe water and sanitation in high priority
countries, as described in Public Law 109-121, and increasing
access to safe drinking water should continue to be the highest
priority in the programming of these funds. The Committee
intends that funds are used to support urban and rural water
projects.
The Committee directs relevant USAID offices and bureaus
involved in water-related programs to coordinate on a regular
basis.
Women's Programs.--The Committee supports programs which
directly enhance economic opportunities for very poor, poor and
low-income women in developing countries, including to increase
women-owned business development; property rights for women;
women's access to financial services; women's ability to
benefit from global trade; and improve women's employment
benefits and conditions. Funds should also be used to provide
technical assistance and capacity building for women's
organizations.

COUNTRIES

PRC.--The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for environment,
governance, rule of law, and disaster preparedness programs in
the PRC, and continues current restrictions relating to the
export of satellites and prohibitions on assistance to the
People's Liberation Army.
Vietnam.--The Committee recommends $20,200,000 for
assistance for Vietnam under the DA account, which is
$5,000,000 above the request.

REPORTS

Contracting.--The Committee directs USAID to submit a
report not later than December 1, 2010 detailing all umbrella
grants and IQCs issued during fiscal year 2010. The Committee
also directs USAID to postpone awarding any new IQC's and
umbrella grants until a new USAID Administrator is confirmed
and has consulted with the Committee on the use of these
funding mechanisms.
Evaluations.--The Committee directs the USAID Administrator
to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations and
Foreign Relations, not later than 180 days after enactment of
this act, on USAID's program review and impact evaluation
processes, to include the number of evaluations conducted over
the previous fiscal year, the office or bureau that conducted
the evaluation, the titles of those evaluations, the criteria
used to choose subjects for evaluation, the methodologies used,
and how the results of such evaluations are disseminated to
USAID's staff. Without an analysis of what works and why, the
Committee does not have confidence that assistance funds are
achieving their intended development objectives.
Small and Medium Enterprises.--The Committee directs the
USAID Administrator to provide a report, not later than 90 days
after enactment of this act, on data trends that assess
performance of SMEs in developing countries that receive
support from U.S. Government programs, and the impact such
programs have on economic growth.

TRANSITION INITIATIVES

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $50,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 126,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 65,000,000

The Committee recommends $65,000,000 for Transition
Initiatives, which is $61,000,000 below the request. Additional
funds requested for TI are appropriated instead under the
Emergency Crises Fund.
The Committee expects USAID to expand TI activities in
Baluchistan and East of the Indus River in Pakistan, which were
initiated in Public Law 111-32.

EMERGENCY CRISES FUND

Appropriations, 2009....................................................
Budget estimate, 2010...................................................
Committee recommendation................................ $100,000,000

The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for the Emergency
Crises Fund, a new fund which will enable the Secretary of
State, in consultation with the USAID Administrator, to respond
to unforeseen complex foreign crises, under certain conditions
and after consultation with Congress.
The budget request included $76,000,000 for a Rapid
Response Fund under the TI account, and an additional
$40,000,000 under the ESF account for a Stabilization Bridge
Fund. The Committee supports providing the Secretary of State
with flexibility to respond to unanticipated requirements, but
has consolidated these requests within a new fund to provide
greater efficiency and oversight by both the Department of
State and the Congress.
The Committee notes that the Department of State is
establishing crisis prevention and response capabilities in
order to assume most if not all of the functions currently
funded by the Department of Defense under section 1207 of
Public Law 109-163. Funds are provided in this act under the
CSI, ECF, and TI accounts to support this effort. In order to
prevent gaps in the U.S. Government's ability to act
expeditiously to prevent crises, the Committee emphasizes that
funding and authorities provided under the ECF and TI accounts
may be utilized to carry out crisis prevention activities
including in locations where no CSI deployment is required. The
Committee intends the Departments of State and Defense to
coordinate formulation and implementation of security and
stabilization assistance, as appropriate, whether through the
utilization of section 1207 or the new capabilities within the
Department of State.

COUNTRY ISSUES

Afghanistan.--The Committee is convinced that a key factor
determining the outcome of reconstruction efforts in
Afghanistan is the role of women, and intends that improving
the status of women is a goal of all U.S. assistance programs
in the country. The Committee recommends not less than
$150,000,000 for assistance for Afghan women and girls, and
continues provisions in Public Law 111-32 relating to women and
girls.
The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for the National
Solidarity Program, which is in addition to $70,000,000
provided for NSP in Public Law 111-32.
The Committee is concerned with the continuing incidence of
civilian casualties from coalition military operations in
Afghanistan, which have reportedly caused some Afghans to join
the Taliban. Investigations of these incidents by the U.S.
military have not always been thorough. The Committee
recommends $15,000,000 for continued support for the Afghan
Civilian Assistance Program, which assists families and
communities that have suffered losses as a result of the
military operations. These funds are in addition to $12,000,000
provided for ACAP in Public Law 111-32.
Recognizing that the strength of the Taliban and other
extremists depends on their persuasive and threatening
messaging, and that the counterinsurgency effort will only
succeed if the Government of Afghanistan can win the trust of
the Afghan people, the Committee recommends $10,000,000 for
strategic communications activities that highlight the
constructive efforts of the Government of Afghanistan and its
international partners to bring security, basic services, and
rule of law to the Afghan people, and counter the extremists'
efforts to recruit terrorists.
Cambodia.--The Committee recognizes the importance of
Cambodia's political opposition and civil society to Cambodia's
democratic development, and notes the adverse impact the global
economic crisis has had in Cambodia. The Committee is
particularly concerned with a further weakening of these groups
caused by decreasing donor support. The Committee requires
USAID to submit a strategy for supporting civil society in
Cambodia, and that priority be given to bolstering and
strengthening indigenous NGOs involved in the promotion and
protection of human rights, democracy and the rule of law. The
Committee supports additional funding through NGOs to continue
to improve the capacity of law enforcement and the judiciary to
combat human trafficking, and to provide assistance to the
victims.
The Committee remains concerned with allegations of
corruption and mismanagement at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, and
restricts a United States contribution on a certification by
the Secretary of State that credible steps are being taken by
the United Nations and the Government of Cambodia to address
these concerns.
The Committee supports the decentralization of power in
Cambodia, as provided for in the 2001 Law on Khum/Sangkat
Administrative Management. The Committee instructs the
Secretary of the Treasury to direct the U.S. Executive
Directors at each International Financial Institution to ensure
that a significant portion of assistance provided for Cambodia
is made in accordance with development plans established by
Khum/Sangkat Councils, as appropriate, and are managed by such
Councils independently and without interference from the
central Government of Cambodia.
Cyprus.--The Committee continues to support assistance for
scholarships, administrative support of the scholarship
program, bicommunal projects, and measures aimed at
reunification of the island of Cyprus, reducing tension and
promoting peace and cooperation. The Committee is aware of
concerns that some projects on Cyprus may have been funded
without advance consultation with the Government of Cyprus and
recommends that such consultation occur whenever practicable in
the interest of transparency in the allocation of funds. The
Committee intends that with respect to the provision of
assistance, the organizations implementing such assistance and
the specific nature of that assistance shall not be subject to
the prior approval of any foreign government.
Democratic Republic of the Congo.--The Committee remains
concerned with the incidence of sexual violence against women
and girls in the DRC, and recommends $3,000,000 for USAID to
expand activities that assist the victims.
Haiti.--The Committee recommends a total of $282,393,000
from titles III and IV of this act for assistance for Haiti,
including $18,500,000 in INCLE funds, which is $25,049,000
above the budget request. The Committee recommends continued
support for programs and activities to reduce pre-trial
detention, provide health care and sanitation, and make other
improvements to the deplorable conditions in Haiti's prisons.
Iraq.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for continued
support for the Marla Ruzicka Iraqi War Victims Fund, which
assists families and communities that suffer losses resulting
from the military operations. As U.S. and coalition forces
withdraw from Iraq, the Committee directs USAID to pursue
options for future Iraqi management and support of this program
to assist innocent victims, either through Iraqi NGOs or the
government.
The Committee supports the $90,000,000 budget request for
democracy, human rights, and women's programs in Iraq.
The Committee recommends not more than $50,000,000 for
USAID's Ministerial Capacity Development program, which is
$35,000,000 below the budget request, and believes that the
Government of Iraq should support such training and development
programs in the future.
Lebanon.--The Committee provides $109,000,000 for
assistance for Lebanon, of which not less than $10,000,000 is
for scholarships for students in Lebanon with high financial
need, including at American educational institutions. These
funds are to be awarded through an open and competitive
process.
The Committee continues to support the work of the U.S.
Forest Service in forest and wildlife conservation in Lebanon,
and recommends $500,000 for these activities.
Nepal.--The Committee recommends $27,000,000 for assistance
for Nepal, of which not less than $1,500,000 should be made
available to support capacity building of Nepali civil society
organizations.
North Korea.--No funds are provided in this act for energy-
related assistance for North Korea.
The Committee recommends up to $4,000,000 to promote
democracy, human rights and the development of a market economy
in North Korea, as authorized by Public Law 110-346. Of this
amount, $2,000,000 is for grants for such purposes, and
$2,000,000 is to increase access to information inside North
Korea. Such programs may include appropriate educational and
cultural exchange programs with North Korean participants, to
the extent not otherwise prohibited by law.
Pakistan.--The Committee recommends continuing and
expanding programs funded under DRL and USAID for programs and
activities that support the development of independent media in
Pakistan.
The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for assistance through
NGOs for civilians who suffer losses as a result of the
military operations, and directs the Secretary of State to
consult with the Committee prior to the obligation of funds.
The Committee directs the Department of State and USAID, as
appropriate, to support programs that address extremism within
madrassas in Pakistan, to be awarded on a fully competitive
basis.
Philippines.--The Committee recommends a portion of ESF
funds to support conflict resolution activities in Mindanao and
to expand judicial training programs.
Tibet.--The Committee recommends $7,500,000 for activities
implemented by NGOs which preserve cultural traditions and
promote sustainable development and environmental conservation
in Tibetan communities in the Tibetan Autonomous Region and in
other Tibetan communities in China. The Committee intends these
funds to be awarded competitively to multiple grantees.
Tunisia.--The Committee recommends $2,000,000 for
assistance for Tunisia, which is $2,000,000 above the budget
request, for programs and activities in southern Tunisia, and
to promote respect for human rights.
Vietnam.--The Committee recommends $3,000,000 for continued
environmental remediation of dioxin contaminated sites and
related health programs. The Committee notes that the United
States and Vietnamese governments have worked cooperatively for
many years to locate and identify remains of American MIAs
since the war. There are also reportedly some 3 million
Vietnamese MIAs, and the Committee recommends funding for
technical and other assistance to the Government of Vietnam for
the purpose of locating and identifying Vietnamese MIAs from
both sides of the conflict.
West Bank and Gaza.--The Committee continues current law
restrictions on assistance for the West Bank and Gaza, as
contained in Public Law 111-8 and Public Law 111-32.

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Conflict Diamonds.--The Committee recommends $3,000,000 to
implement the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, including
by strengthening the role and capacity of civil society groups
in the Kimberley Process.
Disability Programs.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000
for disability programs, of which $2,500,000 should be made
available for programs and activities administered by USAID
through foreign missions to address the needs and protect and
promote the rights of people with disabilities in developing
countries, and $1,500,000 should be designated to support
people with disabilities and disabled persons organizations in
developing countries on issues of independent living, advocacy,
education, and accessible transportation through partnerships
with disability advocacy organizations that have expertise and
experience in these areas. The Committee recommends
continuation of the current practice that at least 25 percent
of USAID foreign mission funds be dispersed in small grants. In
addition, the Committee recommends $1,000,000 to develop,
support and strengthen sports programs for people with
disabilities in developing countries.
MEPI.--The Committee recommends funds to continue regional
programs traditionally managed by MEPI, of which $8,000,000
should be used to continue a scholarship program to educate
students from countries with significant Muslim populations,
including at American educational institutions in those
countries. These funds are to be awarded through an open and
competitive process. The Secretary of State is directed to
report to the Committee on coordination with other offices
responsible for funding similar programs.
Middle East Regional Cooperation Program.--The Committee
recommends $5,000,000 for continued support for the MERC.
Near East Regional Democracy.--The Committee recommends not
less than $30,000,000 to expand access to information and
communications through the Internet, to be awarded on an open
and competitive basis that includes proof of actual performance
in delivering access to large numbers of users living in closed
societies that have hostile Internet environments. The
Committee further expects that awards of the funds will be
based on a showing that the applicant will, within 1 year of
the date of the award, be able to generate sufficient capacity
to provide Internet access to tens of millions of closed
society residents in acutely hostile Internet environments. The
Committee also notes the importance of the applicant's system
being able to withstand countermeasures from closed society
regimes.
Reconciliation Programs.--The Committee recommends
$25,000,000 for reconciliation programs and activities which
bring together and facilitate direct communication between
individuals of different ethnic, religious and political
backgrounds in countries affected by civil strife and war, of
which $9,000,000 is for such programs and activities in the
Middle East. This global program seeks to promote
understanding, mutual respect and reconciliation through the
active participation, dialogue and problem solving of members
of opposing groups.
Trafficking in Persons.--The Committee recommends
$12,000,000 for programs to prevent trafficking in persons
consistent with Public Law 106-386.
Volunteers for Prosperity.--The Committee is aware that the
Volunteers for Prosperity program was authorized after the
fiscal year 2010 budget request was finalized. The Committee
recommends USAID support VFP, and directs USAID to consult with
the Committee not later than 60 days after enactment of this
act on the implementation of this program.
Wheelchairs.--The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for
wheelchair programs in developing countries. The Committee
intends funding for wheelchair programs to be allocated through
a fully open and competitive process based on merit. The
Committee supports funding that provides quality, low-cost
wheelchairs benefiting as many people as possible, and which
encourages local initiative, utilizes appropriate technologies,
and are sustainable.

COUNTRY ISSUES

Colombia.--The Committee continues to support substantial
assistance for Colombia, and notes the progress made in
improving security in many parts of the country. For fiscal
year 2010, the Committee recommends a total of $509,495,000 for
assistance for Colombia, including $199,000,000 under the ESF
account, $1,695,000 under the IMET account, $53,805,000 under
the FMF account, $248,500,000 under the INCLE account, and
$6,495,900 under the NADR account. The Committee notes that the
TI, MRA and NADR accounts contain notwithstanding authority,
but any additional assistance from those accounts is subject to
the Committee's regular notification procedures.
The Committee is aware that United States assistance is
helping Colombia build state presence in ungoverned territories
through the Government of Columbia's Center for Coordination of
Integrated Action. Achieving this goal will require the CCAI to
increase civilian government agencies' participation in
decisionmaking, funding, and on-the-ground presence, and to do
more to address inter-agency coordination. CCAI will not
succeed if, in practice, it is a mostly military effort.
Reports of human rights abuses in CCAI zones, including forced
displacement and increased paramilitary presence, should be
investigated and punished.
The Committee is concerned with the continuing influence of
illegal drug cultivation, production and trafficking, and
related corruption, throughout Colombian society. Despite
significant United States assistance, the flow of large amounts
of illicit drugs to the United States continues, and the
violence associated with it plagues large areas of Colombia
while it has also spread to other parts of Central America,
Mexico, and the Caribbean. A measure of the continuing severity
of the problem is the large number of Colombian refugees and
IDPs fleeing drug-related violence. The Committee recommends
additional assistance for these vulnerable groups.
The Committee is concerned that the Colombian army has been
implicated in a pattern of extra-judicial killings of
civilians. While the Ministry of Defense has taken steps to
prevent these crimes, few officers have been punished. There
are also reports that the Presidential Intelligence Service
[DAS] has engaged in illegal surveillance of human rights
defenders, judges, journalists and others. The Committee
continues restrictions on 30 percent of the military assistance
for Colombian, and adds restrictions on assistance to the DAS.
The Committee again recommends funding for the Fiscalia,
Procuraduria, and Defensor del Pueblo to support efforts to
investigate and hold accountable those responsible for
violations of human rights. The Committee also recommends
$8,000,000 under the INCLE account for continued support of
USAID's human rights activities, which is equal to the fiscal
year 2008 level, and expects these funds to be transferred
promptly to USAID. The Committee requests to be consulted prior
to the obligation of funds.
Funds are allocated in the following table and subject to

Guatemala.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the
CICIG to investigate illegal armed forces, clandestine criminal
organizations and public corruption and collaborate with the
Government of Guatemala in the investigation, prosecution and
punishment of those responsible for such crimes, including drug
trafficking. The Department of State, USAID and the Department
of Justice should assist CICIG through the detail of FBI
agents, prosecutors and forensics specialists, and also in
determining the requirements for a special court with
adequately vetted, protected and supported prosecutors and
judges to address the most serious crimes involving organized
crime, drug traffickers and public corruption.
Iraq.--The Committee recommends $52,000,000 for programs
and activities in Iraq, as requested, and understands that
subsequent fiscal year budget requests under this account may
increase as the Department of State assumes programmatic
responsibility for the training of Iraqi security forces. None
of the funds provided shall be used for construction costs.
Merida Initiative.--
--Central America.--The Committee recommends $75,000,000
under the Merida Initiative for the countries of
Central America, including Haiti and the Dominican
Republic, and $15,000,000 for continued support of the
Economic and Social Development Fund. The Committee is
concerned that the countries of Central America have
yet to provide clear strategies for utilizing
assistance under the Merida Initiative.
The Committee supports the use of Merida Initiative funds
for youth violence prevention programs. The Committee
notes that Central American police forces suffer from
inadequate resources, poor training, corruption and
lack of accountability. In order to effectively counter
gang violence, extortion, drug trafficking and other
major crimes, these police forces need to strengthen
their institutional structures, including through
leadership development, management and planning, and
internal and external controls.
--Mexico.--The Committee recommends $105,000,000 under the
INCLE account for continued support for Mexico as part
of the Merida Initiative, and notes that $354,000,000
requested for Mexico for fiscal year 2010 was included
in Public Law 111-32. The Committee continues to
support efforts to combat drug-related violence and
organized crime in Mexico, but remains skeptical that
such efforts can succeed if the traffic in guns from,
and the demand for drugs in, the United States continue
unabated. The Committee notes that the Merida
Initiative was designed as a 3-year program, but the
deeply rooted problems it seeks to address will take
far longer to solve. The Committee believes that
realistic goals and credible metrics for measuring
progress are necessary.
The Committee is disappointed that the Government of
Mexico has not yet met the human rights requirements in
previous appropriations acts. Similar requirements are
included in this act. The Committee is particularly
concerned that the Mexican military and police forces
remain largely unaccountable to the judicial system.
Cases of extra-judicial killings, rape and other
egregious crimes allegedly committed by government
forces, including those investigated and recommended
for prosecution by the National Human Rights
Commission, remain unresolved.
West Bank.--The Committee recommends $100,000,000 to
continue training and equipping (non-lethal) of the National
Security Forces associated with the Palestinian Authority.

PROGRAM ISSUES

Demand Reduction Programs.--The Committee recommends
$12,500,000 for demand reductions programs, an amount equal to
the budget request. The Committee notes the importance of these
programs in predominantly Muslim countries, and in reducing
drug abuse by women.
International Law Enforcement Academies.--The Committee
recommends $36,700,000 for the ILEAs, which is $500,000 above
the budget request. The Committee intends the additional funds,
for a total of $4,500,000, to be used to support the ILEA in
Roswell, New Mexico to expand student participation, purchase
critical learning materials, replace outdated computer
equipment, and implement distance learning programs.

REPORTS

The Committee directs the Department of State, as
instructed, to submit the following reports:
Merida Initiative.--
--Central America.--The Committee directs the Secretary of
State to submit a report not later than 45 days after
enactment of this act, for each of the countries of
Central America receiving assistance under the Merida
Initiative, including Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
The report should detail the threats or problems to be
addressed, realistic goals and planned actions to
achieve them (including planned uses of U.S.
assistance), amounts to be invested by the countries
themselves, and expected results.
--Mexico.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State, not
later than 180 days after enactment of this act, to
submit a report detailing the uses of Merida funds in
Mexico, progress to date, any planned adjustments in
the uses of funds, and post-Merida plans including
anticipated funding requirements for Mexico and the
Central American countries for the next 3 fiscal years.
--Mexican Federal Registry of Police Personnel.--In fiscal
year 2008, the Congress provided $3,000,000 for
technical and other assistance to enable the Government
of Mexico to create a unified national police registry.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit
a report not later than 45 days after enactment of this
act, detailing the extent to which the Mexican Federal
Registry of Police Personnel is operational and
effective, particularly for vetting police at the
national, state and municipal levels to prevent
rehiring from one force to another after dismissal for
corruption or other causes. The report should also
describe mechanisms in place to investigate, sanction
or retrain police who do not pass performance
evaluations implemented through police evaluation
centers (centros de control de confianza).

PROPOSALS

The Committee is aware of proposals from the following
organizations, which shall be considered in full and open
competition, and in accordance with all applicable rules and
regulations:
Equitas.--For continued support of forensic work to locate
and identify victims of the armed conflict in Colombia.
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.--To
prevent crimes against children on the Internet.

The Committee recommends $761,165,000 for the
Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related
Programs, which is $4,265,000 below the budget request.

The Committee supports NADR programs and activities that
directly contribute to U.S. security in a targeted and cost
efficient manner, and which provide assistance to countries
severely contaminated with unexploded ordnance. The Committee
encourages the administration to continue to improve the
coordination of international counterterrorism programs among
and between relevant Federal agencies, and to submit future
budget requests under the Department of State and USAID's
jurisdiction for such activities in a more clear and concise
manner.
Biosecurity Engagement Program.--The Committee recommends
$37,000,000 for the BEP, $2,000,000 above the budget request,
and recommends not less than $6,000,000 to continue biological
threat reduction assistance programs in Pakistan.
Humanitarian Demining.--The Committee directs the Secretary
of State to consult with the Committee on the appropriate
criteria for allocating funds for humanitarian demining and
other UXO removal programs.
Iraqi Scientist Engagement Program.--The Committee supports
the $615,000 requested for this program, but believes the
Government of Iraq should fully bear this cost and encourages
the Secretary of State to secure reimbursement from the
Government of Iraq for this program.
ITF.--The Committee recommends $12,000,000 for the ITF, and
notes this would bring the total U.S. assistance for the ITF to
more than $140,000,000. The Committee recognizes the ITF's
success and that it is nearing completion of its mission to
make the countries of southeastern Europe mine-safe. The
Committee intends any future U.S. assistance for the ITF after
fiscal year 2010 to be provided through an open and competitive
process.
Laos.--The Committee notes that Laos is among the countries
most severely contaminated with UXO due to tens of millions of
U.S. cluster munitions and bombs dropped during the Vietnam
War. These remnants of war have caused tens of thousands of
casualties, including children, and hundreds of new casualties
each year, yet Laos has received only a small fraction of total
U.S. assistance for UXO removal. The Committee directs the
Department to provide not less than $6,000,000 for UXO removal
in Laos in fiscal year 2010, and to plan for similar or higher
levels of funding in future years.

REPORT

Small Arms/Light Weapons.--The Committee supports increased
funding for programs to destroy small arms and light weapons,
and directs the Secretary of State to submit a report to the
Committee not later than 45 days after enactment of this act
detailing the proposed uses of funds.

MIGRATION AND REFUGEE ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2009...................................\1\$1,671,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 1,480,444,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,677,800,000

\1\The enacted level includes $931,000,000 from Public Law 111-8,
$350,000,000 from Public Law 110-252 and $390,000,000 from Public Law
111-32.

The Committee recommends $1,677,800,000 for Migration and
Refugee Assistance, which is $197,356,000 above the request.
The Committee is concerned with the suffering of all
refugees and IDPs, and notes that refugees and IDPs with
disabilities have particular difficulties obtaining services.
The Committee directs the Secretary of State and USAID
Administrator to work with other governments and humanitarian
organizations to ensure that assistance programs take into
account the special needs of persons with disabilities and that
they are included in the design and implementation of programs.
Burma.--The Committee remains concerned with refugees and
IDPs in Burma and Thailand, and recommends the Secretary of
State provide assistance to meet these needs in a timely
manner.
Colombia.--The Committee recommends additional assistance
for Colombian IDPs and refugees.
Migrants to Israel.--The Committee recommends $25,000,000
for migrants to Israel, the amount requested, to be awarded
through an open and competitive process. According to the
Department of State, the number of migrants to Israel has
declined from approximately 184,000 in 1990 to 7,300 in 2008.
No funds may be used to support migrants who reside in
settlements or outposts in the West Bank. The Committee
supports assistance consistent with the conditions that have
applied to the program since its inception in 1973 that all
funds be spent in Israel.
North Korea.--The Committee recommends that assistance be
made available for North Korean refugees, as authorized by
Public Law 110-346.
The Committee is disappointed with the low number of North
Korean refugees that have resettled in the United States since
the enactment of Public Law 110-346, which directs the
Department of State to facilitate such resettlements. The
Committee directs the Secretary of State to significantly
increase the number of resettlements, consistent with the law.
Refugee Resettlement.--The Committee is concerned with the
lack of sufficient resources for Iraqi and other refugees
resettling in the United States due to funding shortfalls of
resettlement organizations caused by the financial crises, and
directs the Department of State to consult with the Committee
on efforts to address this need.
Tibetan Refugees.--The Committee supports assistance for
Tibetan refugees who have fled their homeland and are in
transit in Nepal or resettled in India.

REPORT

North Korea.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State
to submit a report, not later than 60 days after enactment of
this act, detailing the measures and improvements to be taken
by the Department of State to facilitate a significant increase
in the admission and resettlement of North Korean refugees to
the United States.

UNITED STATES EMERGENCY REFUGEE AND MIGRATION ASSISTANCE FUND

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $40,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 75,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 75,000,000

The Committee recommends $75,000,000 for United States
Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance, which is equal to
the budget request.

Independent Agencies

PEACE CORPS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $340,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 373,440,000
Committee recommendation................................ 373,440,000

The Committee recommends $373,440,000 for the Peace Corps,
which is equal to the budget request and $33,440,000 above the
fiscal year 2009 level.
The Committee strongly supports the mission of the Peace
Corps, which can be as relevant today in promoting American
values abroad as it was when it was founded almost a half
century ago. But the world has changed significantly since
then, and the Peace Corps needs to adapt to the 21st century.
Past efforts by the Committee to encourage the Peace Corps to
reform and make better use of resources have been ignored. A
new Director with a new vision, who recognizes the need for
reform, supports transparency and seeks a constructive
relationship with Congress, is urgently needed.
The Committee is aware that some have called for a large
increase in funding above the amount requested by the President
for fiscal year 2010, in order to send volunteers to new
countries. Very few of such countries are safe enough or
otherwise ready to host volunteers, and there are hundreds of
volunteers currently serving in countries with little if any
strategic importance to the United States who could be used
more effectively. At a time of intense pressures on a limited
budget, each volunteer costs the U.S. Government $50,000 a
year. Each dose of vaccine for measles, which threatens
hundreds of millions of children in poor countries and
needlessly kills 200,000 children annually, costs a few
dollars. This is but one of the many difficult funding choices
the Committee faced, yet its recommendation for the Peace Corps
is the largest percentage increase in the Peace Corps' budget
since 1993. The Committee believes that reform, not dramatic
increases in funding in a single year, is the Peace Corps' most
urgent need.
The Committee expects to recommend additional increases in
funding to support the goal of doubling the Peace Corps,
including sending more volunteers to countries with large
Muslim populations, once it is clear that a new Director is
providing the leadership the Peace Corps needs.

MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE CORPORATION

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $875,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 1,425,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 950,000,000

The Committee recommends $950,000,000 for the Millennium
Challenge Corporation, which is $475,000,000 below the request
and $75,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level. Not more than
$95,000,000 shall be used for administrative expenses.
The Committee expects the MCC to support new compacts
currently under development with Jordan, Malawi and the
Philippines with fiscal year 2010 funding, if eligibility
criteria are met.
In Public Law 111-32, the Committee provided the Secretary
of State with authority to reprogram MCC funding to address the
global financial crisis before allocating ESF assistance for
this purpose, and continues this authority in this act.
The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2010 budget
request for the MCC is more fully justified than in previous
fiscal years and appreciates the Corporation's efforts to plan
strategically.
The Committee supports the MCC's efforts to address pre-
implementation and development costs prior to the start of a
compact, and believes these efforts will assist the Corporation
in disbursing compact funds more effectively. The Committee
remains concerned with the projected size of compacts and
questions the MCC's ability to effectively disburse such large
sums within 5 years.
The Committee supports the MCC Board of Directors' decision
to partially terminate assistance to Nicaragua and to suspend
funding for Armenia due to failure to adhere to the MCC's
eligibility criteria, and appreciates MCC's adherence to its
core principles. As the MCC's availability of funds has
increased due to the suspension and termination of these
compacts, the Committee recommends the MCC re-obligate funds
for use for new compacts requested in fiscal year 2010 after
consultation with the Committee.
The Committee notes that section 605(e) of the Millennium
Challenge Act of 2003 restricts the use of MCC funds for
military assistance and training. While the act is silent on
dual-use issues, such as posed by the airport renovation
project in Mali, the Committee is concerned that dual-use
investments could be used in contravention of U.S. national
security interests should there be a change in government or
political unrest in an MCC compact country. To provide
clarification on this issue, the Committee prohibits the use of
MCC funds for any military assistance and training, including
for dual-use purposes. The Committee considers this
clarification to be consistent with the intent of section
605(e) which does not provide any exceptions allowing MCC
economic assistance funds to be commingled with other funds
(such as national funds or military assistance funds). The
Committee directs the MCC to consult with the Committee on any
ongoing MCC projects that may be of a dual-use nature.

REPORTS

The Committee directs the MCC to provide a report to the
Committee not later than 90 days after enactment of this act on
the total funding and proposed uses of funding de-obligated
from Compacts that the Board has terminated because the country

Human Rights Vetting.--The Committee supports the
Department of State's efforts to monitor the use of U.S.
military training and equipment provided to foreign security
forces, but is concerned that the vetting process is uneven
among U.S. Embassies and falls short in some countries where
the military or police have a history of human rights
violations. The Committee also notes that the budget request
includes FMF assistance for eight countries in Africa that have
not received FMF in recent years. The Committee recommends
transfer of not less than $2,000,000 to DRL for training and
other personnel resources to strengthen the vetting process,
which continues an initiative begun in fiscal year 2008.

COUNTRY ISSUES

Indonesia.--The Committee notes the progress Indonesia has
made in strengthening democracy, combating extremism, and
addressing other challenges including illegal logging. Military
reform has lagged behind, however. The Committee recommends
$20,000,000 for assistance for Indonesia, which is $4,300,000
above the fiscal year 2009 level and equal to the budget
request. Of this amount, $2,000,000 is withheld from obligation
until the Secretary of State reports in writing to the
Committees on Appropriations pursuant to section 7071(d) of
this act on--
--Steps taken by the Government of Indonesia to revise the
Code of Military Justice, Uniform Criminal Code and
other relevant statutes, to permit trials of members of
the military alleged to have committed violations of
internationally recognized human rights in civilian
courts and to deny promotion, suspend from active
service, and/or pursue prosecution of military officers
indicted for serious crimes, and to refine further the
mission of the Armed Forces and develop an appropriate
national defense budget to carry out that mission;
--Efforts by the Armed Forces to cooperate with civilian
judicial authorities and with international efforts to
resolve cases of violations of internationally
recognized human rights;
--Efforts by the Government to implement reforms that
increase the transparency and accountability of the
Armed Forces' operations and financial management and
concrete steps taken to achieve divestment of all
military businesses; and
--Whether the Government of Indonesia is allowing public
access to Papua, including foreign diplomats, NGOs, and
journalists.
Philippines.--The Committee commends efforts by the
Government of the Philippines to prevent extra-judicial
executions, and notes that the incidence of such crimes has
fallen. The Committee believes that further efforts are needed,
particularly accountability for such crimes to promote respect
for the rule of law.
The Committee recommends $33,000,000 for assistance for the
Philippines, which is $3,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009
level and $14,350,000 above the budget request. Of this amount,
$2,000,000 may not be obligated until the Secretary of State
reports in writing to the Committees on Appropriations pursuant
to section 7071(i) of this act that--
--The Government of the Philippines is continuing to take
effective steps to implement the recommendations of the
United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extra-judicial,
Summary or Arbitrary Executions, to include
prosecutions and convictions for extra-judicial
executions, sustaining the decline in the number of
extra-judicial executions, addressing allegations of a
death squad in Davao City, and strengthening government
institutions working to eliminate extra-judicial
executions;
--The Government of the Philippines is implementing a policy
of promoting military personnel who demonstrate
professionalism and respect for internationally
recognized human rights, and is investigating,
prosecuting, and punishing military personnel and
others who have been credibly alleged to have violated
such rights; and
--The Armed Forces of the Philippines do not have a policy
of, and are not engaging in, acts of violence or
intimidation against members of legal organizations who
advocate for human rights.
Vietnam.-- The Committee recognizes the shared security
interests of the United States and Vietnam in Southeast Asia,
and encourages increases in FMF assistance for Vietnam in
subsequent fiscal years.
Yemen.--The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for assistance
for Yemen, which is $5,000,000 above the budget request.

REPORTS

Human Rights Vetting.--The Committee directs the Department
of State to submit a report not later than 90 days after
enactment of this act detailing the appropriate number of
Embassy personnel to carry out vetting procedures under the
Leahy amendment in each country receiving IMET or FMF
assistance. The Department should include any criteria used to
determine the appropriate number of personnel, including
assistance levels and the incidence of human rights concerns.
Morocco.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State to
submit a report not later than 45 days after enactment of this
act, detailing steps taken by the Government of Morocco in the
previous 12 months to continue to make progress on human
rights, and whether it is allowing all persons to advocate
freely their views regarding the status and future of the
Western Sahara through the exercise of their rights to peaceful
expression and association, and to document violations of human
rights in the territory without harassment.

DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS

The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the
purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should
make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money.
As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the
Senate, the term ``congressional directed spending item'' means
a provision or report language included primarily at the
request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a
specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit
authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan,
loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure
with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality
or congressional district, other than through a statutory or
administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process.
For each item, a Member is required to provide a
certification that neither the Member nor the Senator's
immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such
congressionally directed spending item. Such certifications are
available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee
on Appropriations (www.appropriations.senate.gov/senators.cfm).
Neither the Committee recommendation nor this report
contains any congressionally directed spending items, limited
tax benefits nor limited tariff benefits as defined in rule
XLIV.
