        vital national interests of the United States to do so.
            (2) Congressional review.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1), 
        if, not later than 60 calendar days after receipt of a 
        certification of the President with respect to a foreign

SEC. 5. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.

    Nothing in this Act, or in any amendment made by this Act, shall be 
construed to affect any provision of an extradition treaty between the 
United States and a foreign government.
Prohibits the provision of development and security assistance to, or the issuance of a visa to any alien who is a high-ranking official of, a government of a country uncooperative in extradition efforts with the United States. Provides for the waiver of such prohibitions if it is in the vital national interests of the United States.
Directs the Attorney General to establish procedures under which a State, which is requesting extradition of one or more individuals from a foreign country failing to comply with such request, may file a formal complaint with the Attorney General for purposes of determining whether or not such country has failed to extradite to the United States during the preceding two- year period five or more individuals (involving unrelated extradition requests) in accordance with this Act.
Amends Federal criminal law to increase the criminal penalty for individuals who flee to avoid prosecution or give testimony in the United States. Imposes both civil and criminal penalties for persons who knowingly transfer from the United States anything of value to a person in a foreign country with the intent to assist such person in resisting extradition to the United States.
