    Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress
    makes the following findings:
        "(1) Long-term success in the war on terrorism demands the use
      of all elements of national power, including diplomacy, military
      action, intelligence, covert action, law enforcement, economic
      policy, foreign aid, public diplomacy, and homeland defense.
        "(2) To win the war on terrorism, the United States must assign
      to economic and diplomatic capabilities the same strategic
      priority that is assigned to military capabilities.
        "(3) The legislative and executive branches of the Government
      of the United States must commit to robust, long-term investments
      in all of the tools necessary for the foreign policy of the
      United States to successfully accomplish the goals of the United
      States.
        "(4) The investments referred to in paragraph (3) will require

    Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress
    makes the following findings:
        "(1) Almost every aspect of the counterterrorism strategy of
      the United States relies on international cooperation.
        "(2) Since September 11, 2001, the number and scope of United
      States Government contacts with foreign governments concerning
      counterterrorism have expanded significantly, but such contacts
      have often been ad hoc and not integrated as a comprehensive and
      unified approach to counterterrorism.
      "(b) In General. - The Secretary of State is authorized in
    consultation with relevant United States Government agencies, to
    negotiate on a bilateral or multilateral basis, as appropriate,
    international agreements under which parties to an agreement work
    in partnership to address and interdict acts of international
    terrorism.
      "(c) International Contact Group on Counterterrorism. - 
        "(1) Sense of congress. - It is the sense of Congress that the
      President - 
          "(A) should seek to engage the leaders of the governments of
        other countries in a process of advancing beyond separate and
        uncoordinated national counterterrorism strategies to develop
        with those other governments a comprehensive multilateral
        strategy to fight terrorism; and
          "(B) to that end, should seek to establish an international
        counterterrorism policy contact group with the leaders of
        governments providing leadership in global counterterrorism
        efforts and governments of countries with sizable Muslim
        populations, to be used as a ready and flexible international
        means for discussing and coordinating the development of
        important counterterrorism policies by the participating
        governments.
        "(2) Authority. - The President is authorized to establish an
      international counterterrorism policy contact group with the
      leaders of governments referred to in paragraph (1) for the
      following purposes:
          "(A) To meet annually, or more frequently as the President
        determines appropriate, to develop in common with such other
        governments important policies and a strategy that address the
        various components of international prosecution of the war on
        terrorism, including policies and a strategy that address
        military issues, law enforcement, the collection, analysis, and
        dissemination of intelligence, issues relating to interdiction
        of travel by terrorists, counterterrorism-related customs
        issues, financial issues, and issues relating to terrorist
        sanctuaries.
          "(B) To address, to the extent (if any) that the President
        and leaders of other participating governments determine
        appropriate, long-term issues that can contribute to
        strengthening stability and security in the Middle East."

    3814, provided that:
      "(a) Findings. - Congress makes the following findings:
        "(1) International terrorists travel across international
      borders to raise funds, recruit members, train for operations,
      escape capture, communicate, and plan and carry out attacks.
        "(2) The international terrorists who planned and carried out
      the attack on the World Trade Center on February 26, 1993, the
      attack on the embassies of the United States in Kenya and
      Tanzania on August 7, 1998, the attack on the USS Cole on October
      12, 2000, and the attack on the World Trade Center and the
      Pentagon on September 11, 2001, traveled across international
      borders to plan and carry out these attacks.
        "(3) The international terrorists who planned other attacks on
      the United States, including the plot to bomb New York City
      landmarks in 1993, the plot to bomb the New York City subway in

      Airport on December 31, 1999, traveled across international
      borders to plan and carry out these attacks.

      those involved in the attack on the World Trade Center on
      February 26, 1993, the plot to bomb New York City landmarks in
      1993, and the millennium plot to bomb Los Angeles International
      Airport on December 31, 1999, traveled on fraudulent passports
      and often had more than 1 passport.
        "(6) Two of the September 11, 2001, hijackers were carrying
      passports that had been manipulated in a fraudulent manner.
        "(7) The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the
      United States, (commonly referred to as the 9/11 Commission),
      stated that 'Targeting travel is at least as powerful a weapon
      against terrorists as targeting their money.'.

    Travel. - 
        "(1) International agreement on lost, stolen, or falsified

    cooperatively with other governments and with nongovernmental
    organizations to combat the practice of torture worldwide.

          "(A) to examine allegations of the practice of torture,
        particularly allegations concerning the existence of secret
        detention, extended incommunicado detention, and restrictions
        on access by family members, lawyers, and independent medical
        personnel to detainees; and
          "(B) to forward such information as may be gathered,
        including information regarding any efforts made by the host
        government to reduce and eliminate the practice of torture, to

      where torture is regularly practiced, instructions to report on a
      periodic basis as circumstances require to the Assistant
      Secretary of State for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs

      torture brought to the attention of a United States diplomatic
      mission including, whenever feasible, sending United States
      observers to trials when there is reason to believe that torture

    equipment pursuant to the Export Administration Act of 1979 [50
    U.S.C. App. 2401 et seq.].

    States Government that furnish military and law enforcement
    training to foreign personnel, particularly personnel from
    countries where the practice of torture has been a documented
    concern, shall include in such training, when relevant, instruction
    regarding international human rights standards and the policy of
    the United States with respect to torture."

      access to legitimate news sources, the imposition of censorship,
      and detention, incarceration, and expulsion.
      "(b) It is therefore the sense of the Congress that the President
    should -

      significant and potentially damaging factor in overall relations
      of the United States with such country; and

    economic system it represents."

-STATUTE-
      In order to maximize the benefits and to minimize the adverse
    consequences of science and technology in the conduct of foreign
    policy, the Congress declares the following to be the policy of the
    United States:
        (1) Technological opportunities, impacts, changes, and threats
      should be anticipated and assessed, and appropriate measures
      should be implemented to influence such technological
      developments in ways beneficial to the United States and other
      countries.
        (2) The mutually beneficial applications of technology in
      bilateral and multilateral agreements and activities involving
      the United States and foreign countries or international
      organizations should be recognized and supported as an important
      element of United States foreign policy.
        (3) The United States Government should implement appropriate
      measures to insure that individuals are trained in the use of
      science and technology as an instrument in international
      relations and that officers and employees of the United States
      Government engaged in formal and informal exchanges of scientific
      and technical information, personnel, and hardware are
      knowledgeable in international affairs.
        (4) In recognition of the environmental and technological
      factors that change relations among countries and in recognition
      of the growing interdependence between the domestic and foreign
      policies and programs of the United States, United States foreign
      policy should be continually reviewed by the executive and
      legislative branches of the Government to insure appropriate and
      timely application of science and technology to the conduct of
      United States foreign policy.
        (5) Federally supported international science and technology
      agreements should be negotiated to ensure that - 
          (A) intellectual property rights are properly protected; and
          (B) access to research and development opportunities and
        facilities, and the flow of scientific and technological
        information, are, to the maximum extent practicable, equitable
        and reciprocal.

      despite certain precautions, by nuclear-powered satellites of
      both the United States and the Soviet Union.

    Stat. 3776, provided that:
      "(a) Findings. - Consistent with the report of the National
    Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Congress
    makes the following findings:
        "(1) Complex terrorist operations require locations that
      provide such operations sanctuary from interference by Government
      or law enforcement personnel.
        "(2) A terrorist sanctuary existed in Afghanistan before
      September 11, 2001.
        "(3) The terrorist sanctuary in Afghanistan provided direct and
      indirect value to members of al Qaeda who participated in the
      terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, and
      in other terrorist operations.
        "(4) Terrorist organizations have fled to some of the least
      governed and most lawless places in the world to find sanctuary.
        "(5) During the 21st century, terrorists are often focusing on
      remote regions and failing states as locations to seek sanctuary.
      "(b) Sense of Congress on United States Policy on Terrorist
    Sanctuaries. - It is the sense of Congress that it should be the
    policy of the United States - 
        "(1) to identify foreign countries that are being used as
      terrorist sanctuaries;
        "(2) to assess current United States resources and tools being
      used to assist foreign governments to eliminate such sanctuaries;
        "(3) to develop and implement a coordinated strategy to prevent
      terrorists from using such foreign countries as sanctuaries; and
        "(4) to work in bilateral and multilateral fora to elicit the
      cooperation needed to identify and address terrorist sanctuaries
      that may exist today, but, so far, remain unknown to
      governments."

      The Congress finds that - 
        (1) the effectiveness and efficiency of the Department of State
      is dependent not only on the contribution of Foreign Service
      employees but equally on the contribution of the 42 percent of
      the Department's employees who are employed under the Civil
      Service personnel system;
        (2) the contribution of these Civil Service employees has been
      overlooked in the management of the Department and greater
      equality of promotion, training, and career enhancement
      opportunities should be accorded to the Civil Service employees
      of the Department; and
        (3) a goal of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 [22 U.S.C. 3901
      et seq.] was to strengthen the contribution made by Civil Service
      employees of the Department of State by creating a cadre of
      experienced specialists and managers in the Department to provide
      essential continuity.
    (b) Equitable reduction of budget
      The Secretary of State shall take all appropriate steps to assure
    that the burden of cuts in the budget for the Department is not
    imposed disproportionately or inequitably upon its Civil Service
    employees.
    (c) Establishment of Office of the Ombudsman for Civil Service
      Employees
      There is established in the Office of the Secretary of State the
    position of Ombudsman for Civil Service Employees. The position of
    Ombudsman for Civil Service Employees shall be a career reserved
    position within the Senior Executive Service. The Ombudsman for
    Civil Service Employees shall report directly to the Secretary of
    State and shall have the right to participate in all Management
    Council meetings to assure that the ability of the Civil Service
    employees to contribute to the achievement of the Department's
    mandated responsibilities and the career interests of those
    employees are adequately represented. The position of Ombudsman for
    Civil Service Employees shall be designated from one of the Senior
    Executive Service positions (as defined in section 3132(a)(2) of
    title 5) in existence on December 22, 1987.
    (d) "Civil Service employees" defined
      For purposes of this section, the term "Civil Service employees"
    means employees of the Federal Government except for members of the
    Foreign Service (as defined in section 103 of the Foreign Service
    Act of 1980 [22 U.S.C. 3903]).

    for advances of funds to disbursing officers of the Fiscal Service
    of the Treasury Department, under a "State account of advances" not
    to exceed the total amount of appropriations for the Department of
    State, the amounts so advanced to be used exclusively to pay upon
    proper vouchers obligations lawfully payable under the respective
    appropriations: Provided, That a separate "State account of
    advances" shall be established on the books of the Treasury
    Department relating to appropriations made to the Department of
    State for each fiscal year and that a "State account of advances"
    relating to the appropriations for one fiscal year shall not be
    used to pay vouchers pertaining to the appropriations of any other
    fiscal year. Expenditures from the amounts requisitioned under the
    "State account of advances" shall be charged to applicable
    appropriations on the books of the Treasury Department on the basis
    of transfer and counter warrants prepared in the State Department
    as of the close of each month and prior to audit, certification, or
    adjustment by the Government Accountability Office. The Government
    Accountability Office shall subsequently declare the sums finally
    due from the several appropriations upon audited vouchers according
    to law and shall certify the same to the Treasury Department which
    shall make the necessary adjustments between appropriations upon
    the basis of such audited settlements of the Government
    Accountability Office: Provided further, That such adjustments
    shall be reflected on the books of the Government in the month and
    fiscal year during which the audited settlements are certified to
    the Treasury.
    (b) Removal of outstanding charges
      A charge outstanding in the "State account of advances" shall be
    removed by crediting the account of advances and deducting the
    amount of the charge from an appropriation made available for
    advances to the Department of State when - 
        (1) relief has been granted or may be granted later to a
      disbursing official or agent of the Department operating under
      the account of advances and under a law having no provision for
      removing charges outstanding in the account of advances; or
        (2) the charge has been - 
          (A) outstanding in the account of advances for 2 complete
        fiscal years; and
          (B) certified by the Secretary of State to the Comptroller
        General as uncollectable.
    (c) Financial liability of disbursing agent or official

      any domestic concern which is controlled in fact by such domestic
      concern, as determined under regulations of the President.

      "(b) Certification. - By submitting this offer, the Offeror
    certifies that it is not - 
        "(1) taking or knowingly agreeing to take any action, with
      respect to the boycott of Israel by Arab League countries, which

    certifications submitted pursuant to this section for the purpose
    of assessing the accuracy of the certifications.
      (2) Upon complaint of any foreign or United States person of a
    violation of the certification as required by this section, filed
    with the Secretary of State, the Department of State shall

    amended by Pub. L. 97-241, title V, Sec. 505(a)(2), (b)(1), Aug.
    24, 1982, 96 Stat. 299, provided that: "The Congress finds that - 
        "(1) international political, economic, and other studies
      prepared systematically by analysts of the Department of State as
      needed background information for executive branch policymakers
      could be similarly valuable to the Committee on International
      Relations [now Foreign Affairs] of the House of Representatives
      and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate in
      fulfilling their responsibilities; and
        "(2) a formal information-sharing arrangement between the
      Department of State and such congressional committees could
      therefore serve the national interest, provided that controls on
      dissemination are established which insure that neither the
      process of analysis nor necessary confidentiality is

    (a) Establishment of fund
      There is hereby established a working capital fund for the
    Department of State, which shall be available without fiscal year
    limitation, for expenses (including those authorized by the Foreign
    Service Act of 1980 [22 U.S.C. 3901 et seq.]) and equipment,
    necessary for maintenance and operation in the city of Washington
    and elsewhere of (1) central reproduction, editorial, data
    processing, audiovisual, library and administrative support
    services; (2) central services for supplies and equipment
    (including repairs); (3) such other administrative services as the
    Secretary, with the approval of the Office of Management and
    Budget, determines may be performed more advantageously and more
    economically as central services; and (4) medical and health care
    services. Such fund shall also be available without fiscal year
    limitation to carry out the purposes of title II of this Act [22
    U.S.C. 4301 et seq.] (!1) The capital of the fund shall consist of
    the amount of the fair and reasonable value of such supply
    inventories, equipment, and other assets and inventories on order,
    pertaining to the services to be carried on by the fund, as the
    Secretary may transfer to the fund, less the related liabilities
    and unpaid obligations, together with any appropriations made for
    the purpose of providing capital. The fund shall be reimbursed, or
    credited with advance payments, from applicable appropriations and
    funds of the Department of State, other Federal agencies, and other
    sources authorized by law, for supplies and services at rates which
    will approximate the expense of operations, including accrual of
    annual leave and depreciation of plant and equipment of the fund.
    The fund shall also be credited with other receipts from sale or
    exchange of property or in payment for loss or damage to property
    held by the fund. There shall be transferred into the Treasury as
    miscellaneous receipts, as of the close of each fiscal year,
    earnings which the Secretary determines to be excess to the needs
    of the fund.

    (b) Charges to fund; credit to appropriations
      The current value of supplies returned to the working capital
    fund by a post, activity, or agency may be charged to the fund. The
    proceeds thereof shall, if otherwise authorized, be credited to
    current applicable appropriations and shall remain available for
    expenditures for the same purposes for which those appropriations
    are available. Credits may not be made to appropriations under this
    subsection as the result of capitalization of inventories.

    other such agencies may be performed more advantageously and more
    economically on a consolidated basis, the Secretary of State and
    the heads of the other agencies concerned may, subject to the
    approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget,
    conclude an agreement which provides for the transfer to and
    consolidation within the Department or within one of the other
    agencies concerned of so much of the functions, personnel,
    property, records, and funds of the Department and of the other
    agencies concerned as may be necessary to enable the performance of
    those administrative services on a consolidated basis for the
    benefit of all agencies concerned. Agreements for consolidation of
    administrative services under this section shall provide for
    reimbursement or advances of funds from the agency receiving the
    service to the agency performing the service in amounts which will
    approximate the expense of providing administrative services for
    the serviced agency.
    (b) Payment
      (1) A Federal agency which obtains administrative services from
    the Department of State pursuant to an agreement authorized under
    subsection (a) of this section shall make full and prompt payment
    for such services through advance of funds or reimbursement.
      (2) The Secretary of State shall bill each Federal agency for
    amounts due for services provided pursuant to subsection (a) of
    this section. The Secretary shall notify a Federal agency which has
    not made full payment for services within 90 days after billing
    that services to the agency will be suspended or terminated if full
    payment is not made within 180 days after the date of notification.
    Except as provided under paragraph (3), the Secretary shall suspend
    or terminate services to a Federal agency which has not made full
    payment for services under this section 180 days after the date of
    notification. Any costs associated with a suspension or termination
    of services shall be the responsibility of, and shall be billed to,
    the Federal agency.
      (3) The Secretary of State may waive the requirement for
    suspension or termination under paragraph (2) with respect to such
    services as the Secretary determines are necessary to ensure the
    protection of life and the safety of United States Government
    property. A waiver may be issued for a period not to exceed one
    year and may be renewed.

-STATUTE-
    (a) Additional appropriations
      There are authorized to be appropriated for the Department of

    any fiscal year for increases in salary, pay, retirement, and other
    employee benefits authorized by law.
    (b) Appropriations authorization based on currency fluctuations
      (1) In order to maintain the levels of program activity for the
    Department of State provided for each fiscal year by the annual
    authorizing legislation, there are authorized to be appropriated
    for the Department of State such sums as may be necessary to offset
    adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, or
    overseas wage and price changes, which occur after November 30 of
    the earlier of - 
        (A) the calendar year which ended during the fiscal year
      preceding such fiscal year, or

      was enacted.

      (2) In carrying out this subsection, there may be established a

      (3) In order to eliminate substantial gains to the approved
    levels of overseas operations for the Department of State, the

    account such amounts in any appropriation account under the heading
    "Administration of Foreign Affairs" as the Secretary determines are
    excessive to the needs of the approved level of operations under
    that appropriation account because of fluctuations in foreign
    currency exchange rates or changes in overseas wages and prices.
      (4) In order to offset adverse fluctuations in foreign currency
    exchange rates or overseas wage and price changes, the Secretary of
    State may transfer from the Buying Power Maintenance account to any
    appropriation account under the heading "Administration of Foreign
    Affairs" such amounts as the Secretary determines are necessary to
    maintain the approved level of operations under that appropriation

    account shall be merged with the funds in the Buying Power
    Maintenance account and shall be available for the purposes of that
    account until expended.
      (6) Any restriction contained in an appropriation Act or other
    provision of law limiting the amounts available for the Department
    of State that may be obligated or expended shall be deemed to be
    adjusted to the extent necessary to offset the net effect of
    fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or overseas wage
    and price changes in order to maintain approved levels.
      (7)(A) Subject to the limitations contained in this paragraph,
    not later than the end of the fifth fiscal year after the fiscal
    year for which funds are appropriated or otherwise made available
    for an account under "Administration of Foreign Affairs", the
    Secretary of State may transfer any unobligated balance of such
    funds to the Buying Power Maintenance account.
      (B) The balance of the Buying Power Maintenance account may not
    exceed $100,000,000 as a result of any transfer under this
    paragraph.
      (C) Any transfer pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a
    reprogramming of funds under section 2706 of this title and shall
    be available for obligation or expenditure only in accordance with
    the procedures under such section.
      (D) The authorities contained in this section may only be
    exercised to such an extent and in such amounts as specifically
    provided for in advance in appropriations Acts.
    (c) Availability of appropriations until expended
      Amounts authorized to be appropriated for a fiscal year for the
    Department of State or to the Secretary of State are authorized to
    be made available until expended.

    appropriated for any account of the Department of State in the
    Department of State Appropriations Act, for either fiscal year of
    any two-year authorization cycle may be appropriated for such
    fiscal year for any other account of the Department of State.
      (2) Amounts appropriated for the "Diplomatic and Consular
    Programs" account may not exceed by more than 5 percent the amount
    specifically authorized to be appropriated for such account for a
    fiscal year. No other appropriations account may exceed by more
    than 10 percent the amount specifically authorized to be
    appropriated for such account for a fiscal year.
      (3) The requirements and limitations of section 2680 of this
    title shall not apply to the appropriation of funds pursuant to
    this subsection.
    (e) Availability of funds for twelve-month contracts to be
      performed in two fiscal years
      Amounts authorized to be appropriated for a fiscal year for the
    Department of State or to the Secretary of State are authorized to

-STATUTE-
      Whenever the Secretary of State determines that educational
    facilities are not available, or that existing educational
    facilities are inadequate, to meet the needs of children of United
    States citizens stationed outside the United States who are engaged
    in carrying out Government activities, the Secretary may, in such
    manner as he deems appropriate and under such regulations as he may
    prescribe, establish, operate, and maintain primary schools, and
    school dormitories and related educational facilities for primary
    and secondary schools, outside the United States, make grants of
    funds for such purposes, or otherwise provide for such educational
    facilities. The authorities of the Foreign Service Buildings Act,
    1926 [22 U.S.C. 292 et seq.], and of paragraphs (h) and (i) of
    section 2670 of this title, may be utilized by the Secretary in
    providing assistance for educational facilities. Such assistance
    may include hiring, transporting, and payment of teachers and other
    necessary personnel. Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
    where the child of a United States citizen employee of an agency of
    the United States Government who is stationed outside the United
    States attends an educational facility assisted by the Secretary of
    State under this section, the head of that agency is authorized to
    reimburse, or credit with advance payment, the Department of State
    for funds used in providing assistance to such educational
    facilities, by grant or otherwise, under this section.

    Sec. 2702. Malpractice protection

-STATUTE-
    (a) Exclusiveness of designated remedies
      The remedy - 
        (1) against the United States provided by sections 1346(b) and
      2672 of title 28, or
        (2) through proceedings for compensation or other benefits from
      the United States as provided by any other law, where the
      availability of such benefits precludes a remedy under such
      sections,

    for damages for personal injury, including death, allegedly arising
    from malpractice or negligence of a physician, dentist, nurse,
    pharmacist, or paramedical (including medical and dental assistants
    and technicians, nursing assistants, and therapists) or other
    supporting personnel of the Department of State in furnishing
    medical care or related services, including the conducting of
    clinical studies or investigations, while in the exercise of his or
    her duties in or for the Department of State or any other Federal
    department, agency, or instrumentality shall be exclusive of any
    other civil action or proceeding by reason of the same subject
    matter against such physician, dentist, nurse, pharmacist, or
    paramedical or other supporting personnel (or his or her estate)
    whose act or omission gave rise to such claim.
    (b) Defense of civil actions by United States; delivery of process;
      furnishing of copies of pleadings
      The United States Government shall defend any civil action or
    proceeding brought in any court against any person referred to in
    subsection (a) of this section (or his or her estate) for any such
    damage or injury. Any such person against whom such civil action or
    proceeding is brought shall deliver, within such time after date of
    service or knowledge of service as may be determined by the
    Attorney General, all process served upon him or her or an attested
    true copy thereof to whomever was designated by the Secretary to
    receive such papers. Such person shall promptly furnish copies of
    the pleading and process therein to the United States attorney for
    the district embracing the place wherein the proceeding is brought,
    to the Attorney General, and to the Secretary.
    (c) Removal of actions; remand or dismissal; suspension of
      limitations
      Upon a certification by the Attorney General that the defendant
    was acting within the scope of his or her employment in or for the
    Department of State or any other Federal department, agency, or
    instrumentality at the time of the incident out of which the suit
    arose, any such civil action or proceeding commenced in a State
    court shall be removed without bond at any time before trial by the
    Attorney General to the district court of the United States of the
    district and division embracing the place wherein it is pending and
    the proceeding deemed a tort action brought against the United
    States under the provisions of title 28, and all references
    thereto. Should a United States district court determine on a
    hearing on a motion to remand held before a trial on the merits
    that the case so removed is one in which a remedy by suit within
    the meaning of subsection (a) of this section is not available
    against the United States, the case shall be remanded to the State
    court except that where such remedy is precluded because of the
    availability of a remedy through proceedings for compensation or
    other benefits from the United States as provided by any other law,
    the case shall be dismissed, but in that event, the running of any
    limitation of time for commencing, or filing an application or
    claim in, such proceedings for compensation or other benefits shall
    be deemed to have been suspended during the pendency of the civil
    action or proceeding under this section.
    (d) Compromise or settlement of claims
      The Attorney General may compromise or settle any claim asserted
    in such civil action or proceeding in the manner provided in
    section 2677 of title 28, and with the same effect.
    (e) Inapplicability of section 2680(h) of title 28
      For purposes of this section, the provisions of section 2680(h)
    of title 28, shall not apply to any tort enumerated therein arising
    out of negligence in the furnishing of medical care or related
    services, including the conducting of clinical studies or
    investigations.
    (f) Holding harmless or providing for liability insurance
      The Secretary may, to the extent he deems appropriate, hold
    harmless or provide liability insurance for any person to whom the
    immunity provisions of subsection (a) of this section apply, for
    damages for personal injury, including death, negligently caused by
    any such person while acting within the scope of his or her office
    or employment and as a result of the furnishing of medical care or
    related services, including the conducting of clinical studies or
    investigations, if such person is assigned to a foreign area or
    detailed for service with other than a Federal agency or
    institution, or if the circumstances are such as are likely to
    preclude the remedies of third persons against the United States
    provided by sections 1346(b) and 2672 of title 28, for such damage
    or injury.
    (g) Medical care or related service within scope of employment
      For purposes of this section, any medical care or related service
    covered by this section and performed abroad by a covered person at
    the direction or with the approval of the United States chief of
    mission or other principal representative of the United States in
    the area shall be deemed to be within the scope of employment of
    the individual performing the service.

-HEAD-
    Sec. 2703. Services and facilities for employees at posts abroad

-STATUTE-
    (a) Non-Government-operated services; applicability of other
      provisions of law
      The Secretary of State may authorize and assist in the
    establishment, maintenance, and operation by civilian officers and
    employees of the Government of non-Government-operated services and
    facilities at posts abroad, including the furnishing of space,
    utilities, and properties owned or leased by the Government for use
    by its diplomatic, consular, and other missions and posts abroad.
    The provisions of the Foreign Service Buildings Act, 1926 (22
    U.S.C. 292-300) and section 2684 of this title may be utilized by
    the Secretary in providing such assistance.
    (b) Emergency commissary and mess services
      The Secretary may establish and maintain emergency commissary or
    mess services in places abroad where, in the judgment of the
    Secretary, such services are necessary temporarily to insure the
    effective and efficient performance of official duties and
    responsibilities. Reimbursements incident to the maintenance and
    operation of commissary or mess service under this subsection shall
    be at not less than cost as determined by the Secretary and shall
    be used as working funds, except that an amount equal to the amount
    expended for such services shall be covered into the Treasury as
    miscellaneous receipts.
    (c) Availability; duplication of facilities and services
      Services and facilities established under this section shall be
    made available, insofar as practicable, to officers and employees
    of all agencies and their dependents who are stationed in the
    locality abroad, and, where determined by the Secretary to be
    appropriate due to exceptional circumstances, to United States
    citizens hired outside of the host country to serve as teaching
    staff for such dependents abroad. Such services and facilities
    shall not be established in localities where another agency
    operates similar services or facilities unless the Secretary
    determines that additional services or facilities are necessary.
    Other agencies shall to the extent practicable avoid duplicating
    the facilities and services provided or assisted by the Secretary
    under this section.
    (d) Charges
      Charges at any post abroad for a service or facility provided,
    authorized or assisted under this section shall be at the same rate
    for all civilian personnel of the Government serviced thereby, and
    all charges for supplies furnished to such a service or facility
    abroad by any agency shall be at the same rate as that charged by
    the furnishing agency to its comparable civilian services and
    facilities.
    (e) Child care facilities
      The Secretary of State may make grants to child care facilities,
    to offset in part the cost of such care, in Moscow and at no more
    than five other posts abroad where the Secretary determines that
    due to extraordinary circumstances such facilities are necessary to
    the efficient operation of the post. In making that determination,
    the Secretary shall take into account factors such as - 
        (1) whether Foreign Service spouses are encouraged to work at
      the post because - 
          (A) the number of members of the post is subject to a ceiling
        imposed by the receiving country; and
          (B) Foreign Service nationals are not employed at the post;
        and

        (2) whether local child care is available.

    Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2708(a);
    relating to rewards for information on international terrorism) to
    more effectively apprehend and prosecute international terrorists.
    It is further the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of State
    should consider widely publicizing the sizable rewards available
    under present law so that major international terrorist figures may
    be brought to justice."

-STATUTE-
    (a) Sense of Congress
      It is the sense of Congress that -

      provide information regarding the killing, abduction, torture, or
      other serious mistreatment of United States citizens abroad to
      the victims of such crimes, or the families of victims of such
      crimes if they are United States citizens; and
        (2) the provision of such information is sufficiently important
      that the discharge of the responsibility for identifying and
      disseminating such information should be vested in a cabinet-
      level officer of the United States Government.
    (b) Responsibility
      The Secretary of State shall take appropriate actions to ensure
    that the United States Government takes all appropriate actions to -
     
        (1) identify promptly information (including classified
      information) in the possession of the departments and agencies of
      the United States Government regarding the killing, abduction,
      torture, or other serious mistreatment of United States citizens
      abroad; and
        (2) subject to subsection (c) of this section, promptly make
      such information available to - 
          (A) the victims of such crimes; or
          (B) when appropriate, the family members of the victims of
        such crimes if such family members are United States citizens.
    (c) Limitations
      The Secretary shall work with the heads of appropriate
    departments and agencies of the United States Government in order
    to ensure that information relevant to a crime covered by
    subsection (b) of this section is promptly reviewed and, to the
    maximum extent practicable, without jeopardizing sensitive sources
    and methods or other vital national security interests, or without
    jeopardizing an on-going criminal investigation or proceeding, made
    available under that subsection unless such disclosure is
    specifically prohibited by law.

-STATUTE-
    (a) Conservation of estates abroad
      (1) Authority to act as conservator
        Whenever a United States citizen or national dies abroad, a
      consular officer shall act as the provisional conservator of the
      portion of the decedent's estate located abroad and, subject to
      paragraphs (3), (4), and (5), shall - 
          (A) take possession of the personal effects of the decedent
        within his jurisdiction;
          (B) inventory and appraise the personal effects of the
        decedent, sign the inventory, and annex thereto a certificate
        as to the accuracy of the inventory and appraised value of each
        article;
          (C) when appropriate in the exercise of prudent
        administration, collect the debts due to the decedent in the
        officer's jurisdiction and pay from the estate the obligations
        owed by the decedent;
          (D) sell or dispose of, as appropriate, in the exercise of
        prudent administration, all perishable items of property;
          (E) sell, after reasonable public notice and notice to such
        next of kin as can be ascertained with reasonable diligence,
        such additional items of property as necessary to provide funds
        sufficient to pay the decedent's debts and property taxes in
        the country of death, funeral expenses, and other expenses
        incident to the disposition of the estate;
          (F) upon the expiration of the one-year period beginning on
        the date of death (or after such additional period as may be
        required for final settlement of the estate), if no claimant
        shall have appeared, after reasonable public notice and notice
        to such next of kin as can be ascertained with reasonable
        diligence, sell or dispose of the residue of the personal
        estate, except as provided in subparagraph (G), in the same
        manner as United States Government-owned foreign excess
        property;
          (G) transmit to the custody of the Secretary of State in
        Washington, D.C. the proceeds of any sales, together with all
        financial instruments (including bonds, shares of stock, and
        notes of indebtedness), jewelry, heirlooms, and other articles
        of obvious sentimental value, to be held in trust for the legal
        claimant; and
          (H) in the event that the decedent's estate includes an
        interest in real property located within the jurisdiction of
        the officer and such interest does not devolve by the
        applicable laws of intestate succession or otherwise, provide
        for title to the property to be conveyed to the Government of
        the United States unless the Secretary declines to accept such
        conveyance.
      (2) Authority to act as administrator
        Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), a consular officer may act
      as administrator of an estate in exceptional circumstances if
      expressly authorized to do so by the Secretary of State.
      (3) Exceptions
        The responsibilities described in paragraphs (1) and (2) may
      not be performed to the extent that the decedent has left or
      there is otherwise appointed, in the country where the death
      occurred or where the decedent was domiciled, a legal
      representative, partner in trade, or trustee appointed to take
      care of his personal estate. If the decedent's legal
      representative shall appear at any time prior to transmission of
      the estate to the Secretary and demand the proceeds and effects
      being held by the consular officer, the officer shall deliver
      them to the representative after having collected any prescribed
      fee for the services performed under this section.
      (4) Additional requirement
        In addition to being subject to the limitations in paragraph
      (3), the responsibilities described in paragraphs (1) and (2) may
      not be performed unless - 
          (A) authorized by treaty provisions or permitted by the laws
        or authorities of the country wherein the death occurs, or the
        decedent is domiciled; or
          (B) permitted by established usage in that country.
      (5) Statutory construction
        Nothing in this section supersedes or otherwise affects the
      authority of any military commander under title 10 with respect
      to the person or property of any decedent who died while under a
      military command or jurisdiction or the authority of the Peace
      Corps with respect to a Peace Corps volunteer or the volunteer's
      property.
    (b) Disposition of estates by the Secretary of State
      (1) Personal estates
        (A) In general
          After receipt of a personal estate pursuant to subsection (a)
        of this section, the Secretary may seek payment of all
        outstanding debts to the estate as they become due, may receive
        any balances due on such estate, may endorse all checks, bills
        of exchange, promissory notes, and other instruments of
        indebtedness payable to the estate for the benefit thereof, and
        may take such other action as is reasonably necessary for the
        conservation of the estate.
        (B) Disposition as surplus United States property
          If, upon the expiration of a period of 5 fiscal years
        beginning on October 1 after a consular officer takes
        possession of a personal estate under subsection (a) of this
        section, no legal claimant for such estate has appeared, title
        to the estate shall be conveyed to the United States, the
        property in the estate shall be under the custody of the
        Department of State, and the Secretary shall dispose of the
        estate in the same manner as surplus United States Government-
        owned property is disposed or by such means as may be
        appropriate in light of the nature and value of the property
        involved. The expenses of sales shall be paid from the estate,
        and any lawful claim received thereafter shall be payable to
        the extent of the value of the net proceeds of the estate as a
        refund from the appropriate Treasury appropriations account.
        (C) Transfer of proceeds
          The net cash estate after disposition as provided in
        subparagraph (B) shall be transferred to the miscellaneous
        receipts account of the Treasury of the United States.
      (2) Real property
        (A) Designation as excess property
          In the event that title to real property is conveyed to the
        Government of the United States pursuant to subsection
        (a)(1)(H) of this section and is not required by the Department
        of State, such property shall be considered foreign excess
        property under title IV of the Federal Property and
        Administrative Services Act of 1949.(!1)

        (B) Treatment as gift
          In the event that the Department requires such property, the
        Secretary of State shall treat such property as if it were an
        unconditional gift accepted on behalf of the Department of
        State under section 2697 of this title and section 300(a)(3) of
        this title.
    (c) Losses in connection with the conservation of estates
      (1) Authority to compensate
        The Secretary is authorized to compensate the estate of any
      United States citizen who has died overseas for property -

        and
          (B) that has been lost, stolen, or destroyed while in the
        custody of officers or employees of the Department of State.
      (2) Liability

        (C) Determinations of liability
          The liability of any officer or employee of the Department of
        State to the Department for any payment made under subsection
        (a) of this section shall be determined pursuant to the
        Department's procedures for determining accountability for
        United States Government property.

          (E) Each case involving a United States citizen under
        subparagraph (D) in which the United States has been requested
        by the government of a receiving state to waive the immunity
        from criminal jurisdiction of the United States citizen.
          (F) Whether the Secretary has made the notifications referred
        to in subsection (c) of this section during the period covered
        by the report.
      (3) Serious criminal offense defined
        For the purposes of this section, the term "serious criminal
      offense" means - 
          (A) any felony under Federal, State, or local law;
          (B) any Federal, State, or local offense punishable by a term
        of imprisonment of more than 1 year;
          (C) any crime of violence as defined for purposes of section
        16 of title 18; or
          (D)(i) driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
          (ii) reckless driving; or
          (iii) driving while intoxicated.
    (b) United States policy concerning reform of diplomatic immunity
      It is the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of State
    should explore, in appropriate fora, whether states should enter
    into agreements and adopt legislation - 
        (1) to provide jurisdiction in the sending state to prosecute
      crimes committed in the receiving state by persons entitled to
      immunity from criminal jurisdiction under laws extending
      diplomatic privileges and immunities; and
        (2) to provide that where there is probable cause to believe
      that an individual who is entitled to immunity from the criminal
      jurisdiction of the receiving state under laws extending
      diplomatic privileges and immunities committed a serious crime,
      the sending state will waive such immunity or the sending state
      will prosecute such individual.
    (c) Notification of diplomatic corps
      The Secretary should periodically notify each foreign mission of
    United States policies relating to criminal offenses committed by
    individuals with immunity from the criminal jurisdiction of the
    United States under laws extending diplomatic privileges and
    immunities.

                                 FINDINGS                             
      Pub. L. 108-332, Sec. 2, Oct. 16, 2004, 118 Stat. 1282, provided
    that: "Congress makes the following findings:
        "(1) Acts of anti-Semitism in countries throughout the world,
      including some of the world's strongest democracies, have
      increased significantly in frequency and scope over the last
      several years.
        "(2) During the last 3 months of 2003 and the first 3 months of
      2004, there were numerous instances of anti-Semitic violence
      around the world, including the following incidents:
          "(A) In Putrajaya, Malaysia, on October 16, 2003, former
        Prime Minister Mahatir Mohammad told the 57 national leaders
        assembled for the Organization of the Islamic Conference that
        Jews 'rule the world by proxy', and called for a 'final
        victory' by the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, who, he said,
        'cannot be defeated by a few million Jews.'.
          "(B) In Istanbul, Turkey, on November 15, 2003, simultaneous
        car bombs exploded outside two synagogues filled with
        worshippers, killing 24 people and wounding more than 250
        people.
          "(C) In Australia on January 5, 2004, poison was used to
        ignite, and burn anti-Semitic slogans into, the lawns of the
        Parliament House in the state of Tasmania.
          "(D) In St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 15, 2004, vandals
        desecrated approximately 50 gravestones in a Jewish cemetery,
        painting the stones with swastikas and anti-Semitic graffiti.
          "(E) In Toronto, Canada, over the weekend of March 19 through
        March 21, 2004, vandals attacked a Jewish school, a Jewish
        cemetery, and area synagogues, painting swastikas and anti-
        Semitic slogans on the walls of a synagogue and on residential
        property in a nearby, predominantly Jewish, neighborhood.
          "(F) In Toulon, France, on March 23, 2004, a Jewish synagogue
        and community center were set on fire.
        "(3) Anti-Semitism in old and new forms is also increasingly
      emanating from the Arab and Muslim world on a sustained basis,
      including through books published by government-owned publishing
      houses in Egypt and other Arab countries.
        "(4) In November 2002, state-run television in Egypt broadcast
      the anti-Semitic series entitled 'Horseman Without a Horse',
      which is based upon the fictitious conspiracy theory known as the
      Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The Protocols have been used
      throughout the last century by despots such as Adolf Hitler to
      justify violence against Jews.
        "(5) In November 2003, Arab television featured an anti-Semitic
      series, entitled 'Ash-Shatat' (or 'The Diaspora'), which depicts
      Jewish people hatching a plot for Jewish control of the world.
        "(6) The sharp rise in anti-Semitic violence has caused
      international organizations such as the Organization for Security
      and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to elevate, and bring renewed
      focus to, the issue, including the convening by the OSCE in June
      2003 of a conference in Vienna dedicated solely to the issue of
      anti-Semitism.
        "(7) The OSCE convened a conference again on April 28-29, 2004,
      in Berlin, to address the problem of anti-Semitism with the
      United States delegation led by former Mayor of New York City, Ed
      Koch.
        "(8) The United States Government has strongly supported
      efforts to address anti-Semitism through bilateral relationships
      and interaction with international organizations such as the
      OSCE, the European Union, and the United Nations.
        "(9) Congress has consistently supported efforts to address the
      rise in anti-Semitic violence. During the 107th Congress, both
      the Senate and the House of Representatives passed resolutions
      expressing strong concern with the sharp escalation of anti-
      Semitic violence in Europe and calling on the Department of
      State to thoroughly document the phenomenon.
        "(10) Anti-Semitism has at times taken the form of vilification
      of Zionism, the Jewish national movement, and incitement against
      Israel."

    organizations and agencies, the Secretary should ensure that

    States, nongovernmental organizations, and private entities of the
