SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``United States Economic Assistance 
Conditionality Act of 2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The governments of low income oil-producing countries 
        often do not provide information to the people of such 
        countries regarding their oil revenues. Such opacity can hide 
        billions of dollars worth of financial impropriety.
            (2) The governments of such countries have generally 
        refused to disclose information regarding their oil revenues 
        when pressed by international organizations and others, 
        proclaiming that such disclosure is an infringement on national 
        sovereignty.
            (3) As a result, the people of such countries are left 
        without the necessary information to ensure proper management 
        and accountability regarding such oil revenues. Dispossessed, 
        the people of such countries are often left marginalized and at 
        the mercy of donor assistance. In Angola, for example, one in 
        every four oil dollars earned is unaccounted for. At the same 
        time, one in four Angolan children dies before the age of five 
        from preventable diseases.
            (4) In some low income oil-producing countries, government-
        imposed royalties and fees on the revenues of business 
        enterprises engaged in oil production are often misappropriated 
        and squandered. These businesses are then left vulnerable to 
        accusations of complicity with corruption.
            (5) The governments of low income oil-producing countries 
        that mismanage oil revenues are often unstable and do not 
        survive, creating further instability that threatens the supply 
        of vital industrial commodities and forcing the international 
        community to respond with costly emergency assistance to those 
        countries.
            (6) A key to promoting political, economic, and social 
        reform in low income oil-producing is transparency in public 
        finances.
            (7) If the governments of such countries tell their people 
        how much oil revenue the government receives and how that 
        revenue is allocated and expended, the resulting transparency 
        will engender more realistic public expectations, more 
        plausible national development programs, and better means to 
        combat corruption and promote democracy, respect for human 
        rights, and the rule of law.
            (8) Transparency by such foreign governments will benefit 
        United States business enterprises as well. Respect for the 
        rule of law, codified regulatory practices, and transparent 
        bidding and award practices deter corruption and encourage a 
        level playing field in such countries for United States 
        business enterprises.
            (9) Export credit activities and other bilateral 
        concessional loan programs of the United States Government for 
        low income oil-producing countries should require that any 
        assistance under such activities and programs be conditional on 
        appropriate transparency by the governments of such countries 
        relating to oil revenues.
            (10) International financial institutions such as the World 
        Bank should incorporate revenue transparency across their 
        lending and technical assistance portfolios by making full 
        transparency a condition of all their financial support and by 
        including it in their national poverty reduction strategy 
        consultations.
            (11) One bold and promising model is the Chad/Cameroon 
        Pipeline Project, under which the Government of Chad, private 
        investors, and the World Bank Group have established an 
        accountability and oversight mechanism for the country's 
        revenues derived from oil production.
            (12) Donald Norland, former United States Ambassador to 
        Chad, in testimony on April 18, 2002, before the Committee on 
        International Relations of the House of Representatives stated 
        that the Chad/Cameroon Pipeline Project ``has addressed these 
        extraordinarily challenging issues in ways that may well serve 
        as a model for developing natural resources in other 
        countries''.
            (13) Ambassador Norland further testified that: ``Success 
        will require keeping the project in the spotlight of public 
        attention as well as under constant scrutiny and monitoring by 
        outside groups . . . Scrutiny is the key to transparency. 
        Transparency is, in turn, indispensable in guaranteeing that 
        oil resources go . . . to projects that reduce poverty while 
        preserving the environment and advancing human rights . . . to 
        make sure that revenues go to benefit the people of Chad and 
        not to private bank accounts.''.
