SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES

The Committee recommendation for the fiscal year 2012 budget 

for the activities under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on the 

Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs is 

$44,640,000,000 in new discretionary budget authority for enduring 

operations, of which $44,504,000,000 is for security-related activities. This is $3,521,784,000 below the fiscal year 2011 enacted level 

and $6,153,480,000 below the fiscal year 2012 budget request. An 

additional $158,900,000 is for mandatory spending and an additional $8,702,787,000 is for Overseas Contingency Operations. 

INTRODUCTION

The Committee notes that government-wide efforts to reduce the 

Federal deficit require deep cuts in operations and many programs 

funded by this act. The consequences will be severe for the operations of the Department of State and USAID, U.S. embassies and 

consulates, contributions to international organizations of which 

the United States has been a leading member, and bilateral assistance programs, as well as the ability of the United States to project 

its influence and protect its economic and security interests around 

the world. The Federal agencies administering funds appropriated 

by this act should review all costs associated with operations and 

programs to determine their priority and effectiveness. Programs 

that are failing to perform or meet sustainability guidelines should 

be discontinued. 

COUNTRIES OF SPECIAL CONCERN

The Committee notes that significant resources have been spent 

by the Departments of State and Defense and USAID since September 11, 2001 to mitigate security threats to the United States 

in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Yemen. However, these threats 
9 

continue and have spread to other countries. Further, reports of 

fraud and mismanagement in assistance programs in Iraq and Afghanistan, in particular, by the Commission on Wartime Contracting are deeply troubling and erode support for such activities 

by the American people. 

The Committee remains concerned with the high costs of security 

for Department of State and USAID personnel in these countries. 

In the current budget environment, such high security costs are not 

sustainable and come at a cost to other Department of State and 

USAID operations. The Committee also questions whether assistance programs which require the presence of heavily armed security contractors can succeed among rural Afghans. The Committee 

urges the Department of State and USAID to reduce the scale of 

assistance programs to only what can be effectively managed, monitored, and sustained. 

AFGHANISTAN

The Committee recommends $941,555,000 for ongoing Department of State operations and assistance for Afghanistan. The Committee recommends an additional $1,801,650,000 for OCO costs. 

The Committee notes that an additional $773,000,000 in ESF from 

fiscal year 2011 and fiscal year 2010 supplemental appropriations, 

withheld by the administration for contributions to the Afghanistan 

Reconstruction Trust Fund until the Government of Afghanistan 

takes certain steps required by the IMF, will be available in fiscal 

year 2012, bringing the total available for operations and programs 

in Afghanistan in fiscal year 2012 to $3,516,205,000. The Committee also notes that third quarter unobligated balances for assistance for Afghanistan from fiscal years 2006 through 2011 total 

$4,163,868,340. Funds are allocated in the following table:

PAKISTAN

The Committee does not recommend a total funding amount for assistance for Pakistan, but recommends $1,000,000,000 for the 

Pakistan Counter-Insurgency Capability Fund under title VIII of 

this act. The Committee remains concerned with the state of 

United States-Pakistan relations, and requests clarification from 

both the Department of State and the Government of Pakistan on 

shared security and development priorities. The Committee includes a pre-obligation certification requirement applicable to funds 

appropriated in titles III and IV and for the Pakistan Counter-Insurgency Capability Fund, with a waiver. The act also requires the 

Secretary of State to report every 6 months on achieving goals and 

benchmarks enumerated in the required spend plan for assistance 

for Pakistan. 

IRAQ

The Committee recommends $681,220,000 for ongoing Department of State operations and assistance for Iraq. The Committee 

recommends an additional $4,547,494,000 for OCO costs, including 

to train and equip civilian police forces. Funds are allocated in the

The Committee recommends $115,000,000 for assistance for

countries and other international donors to ensure the risks and

The Committee recommends $10,651,201,000 for Diplomatic and 

Consular Programs, including $3,773,701,000 for OCO costs. Of 

this amount, $1,636,201,000 is for worldwide security protection, 

including $236,201,000 for OCO costs, $495,302,000 for public diplomacy activities, and $35,000,000 for Conflict Stabilization Operations non-deployment costs.

II of the Foreign Service overseas comparability pay. 

Overseas Programs.—The Committee recommends 

$2,124,646,000 for the operational programs of regional bureaus of 

the Department of State. Regional bureaus are responsible for

diplomatic posts worldwide, and provide a myriad of services to 

millions of American citizens living, working, studying, and serving 

abroad. 
13 

The Committee directs the Department of State to consider increasing its diplomatic presence in Somalia to advance U.S. policy 

objectives and oversee famine relief efforts, if it can be done in a 

manner that provides necessary security for U.S. personnel and is 

cost effective. 

Diplomatic Policy and Support.—The Committee recommends 

$865,000,000 for the operational programs of the functional bureaus of the Department of State to provide overall policy direction, 

coordination, and program management among U.S. missions 

abroad, and includes funds requested for costs related to the APEC 

2011 Leaders meeting.

Human Resources function for salaries for a total of $1,400,000,000 

for Worldwide Security Protection in this title. The Committee recommends an additional $236,201,000 for OCO costs for Worldwide

PROGRAM ISSUES

Conflict Stabilization Operations.—The Committee expects the 

Department of State and USAID to utilize funds from the Complex 

Crisis Fund and other crisis and disaster response funds to support 

deployments. The Committee remains concerned with CSO’s limited activities, specifically the minor role it has played in response 

to the earthquake in Haiti and the revolution in Libya. Given 

budget restraints, the Committee will assess the performance of 

the CSO during fiscal year 2012. 

The Committee does not support the use of funds for additional 

active or standby civilian response corps positions. The Committee 

notes, and supports, the administration’s decision not to request 

funding for a CRC reserve component. 

Consular Affairs Pilot Programs.—Section 7079 of this act directs 

the Secretary of State to take steps to eliminate the long delays in 

processing tourist visas in the PRC, Brazil and India, and to report 

on steps taken to meet the Department’s visa processing standards. 

The section also authorizes the Secretary to develop and conduct a 
14 

pilot program for processing tourist visas using secure remote 

videoconferencing technology as a method for conducting visa interviews of applicants, if it can be done in a manner consistent with 

security controls. 

Cyber Issues.—The Committee recommends $2,000,000 for operations and programs under the authority of the Coordinator for 

Cyber Issues, in addition to funds otherwise made available for 

such puposes. The Coordinator, in consultation with other relevant 

Federal agencies, is encouraged to consult on a regular basis, including in bilateral and multilateral fora, with other nations on 

cyber security issues including but not limited to those of infrastructure protection, standards, and best practices in the field. 

The Coordinator, in consultation with other relevant Federal 

agencies, is encouraged to consult on a regular basis, including in 

bilateral and multilateral fora, with other nations on cyber security 

issues including but not limited to those of infrastructure protection, standards and best practices in the field. 

Procurement Fee Working Capital Fund.—The Committee directs 

the Secretary of State to report to the Committee not later than 90 

days after enactment of this act on the Acquisitions Management 

program funded by the 1 percent procurement fee. The report 

should include the cost categories and number of staff funded from 

this fee as well as the efficiencies and impacts of this program. 

Contracting Reform.—The Committee directs the Secretary of 

State to provide to the Committee not later than 90 days after enactment of this act the Department of State’s response to the recommendations included in the final report of the Commission on 

Wartime Contracting, including a determination by the Department of which recommendations are applicable to the Department 

of State, the status of implementation of the applicable recommendations, and a timeline to complete implementation. 

Democratic Republic of the Congo.—The Committee directs the 

Secretary of State to review and report to the Committee on current guidelines prohibiting U.S. Embassy personnel from Rwanda 

and Uganda from traveling into the Eastern DRC for mission-specific purposes, without first traveling to Kinshasa. The Committee 

is concerned that such restrictions are cost-prohibitive and prevent 

U.S. Embassy personnel from addressing issues of regional importance in a timely and effective manner. 

Overseas Presence and Staffing Levels.—The Office of Inspector 

General includes recommendations for potential positions reductions and office closures in its inspection reports of overseas posts. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to provide the Committee with a consolidated list of these recommendations from OIG 

inspection reports since October 1, 2011, to reduce positions or 

downsize or close posts, including estimated cost savings, and the 

Department’s response to these recommendations. 

Cultural Heritage.—The Committee recommends $5,750,000 for 

this program, including $1,000,000 for the Cultural Antiquities 

Task Force, and funding for up to five large-scale projects. The Department of State should consult with the Committee prior to the 

obligation of funds. The Committee recognizes the important public 

diplomacy role of this program, as well as its contribution in preserving some of the world’s irreplaceable cultural antiquities. 
15 

Human Rights Vetting.—The Committee supports the Department of State’s efforts to monitor U.S. military assistance to foreign 

security forces, pursuant to section 620M of the FAA, as amended 

by this act. The vetting process has been widely applied to individuals who are candidates for U.S. training, but it has more often not 

been applied to those individuals’ units, or to units that may receive U.S. equipment. This is contrary to the letter and intent of 

the law and has limited its effectiveness. The Committee expects 

the Department to implement the law faithfully and effectively. As 

in past years, the Committee recommends not less than $2,000,000 

for DRL for personnel, training, and other support to strengthen 

the vetting process, as well as to implement the procedures specified in section 7032(o) of this act. 

Locally Employed Staff.—The Committee recommends 

$750,000,000 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. 

Office of Defense Trade Controls Licensing.—The Department of 

State proposed funding an additional 11 positions in the Office of 

Defense Trade Controls Licensing through the expanded use of registration fees, but this expanded use has not yet been authorized. 

The Committee directs the Department to ensure that the office 

has the necessary budget and staff to fulfill its responsibilities in 

a timely and effective manner. 

Pakistan.—The Committee recommends $161,421,000 for Pakistan operations, including $137,603,000 for OCO costs. This 

amount also includes $57,423,000 for WSP costs in Pakistan. 

Public Diplomacy.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$495,302,000 for public diplomacy programs to be funded through 

direct appropriations and an additional $11,000,000 through Department of State fees. The Committee is aware of several innovative ‘‘virtual’’ educational exchange programs and urges the Under 

Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs to assess the potential of these programs to expand the number, diversity, and experience of international exchange participants beyond the traditional study abroad exchange programs. 

Representation Funds.—The Committee does not include a provision in prior acts authorizing the Department of State to transfer 

up to $1,000,000 from D&CP to Representation Allowances. The 

Committee recommends $7,300,000 for official representation activities under the Representation Allowances heading. 

Tibet.—The Committee urges the Secretary of State to provide 

support for the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues in carrying 

out the broad responsibilities detailed in section 621(d) of Public 

Law 107–228, as well as for convening and coordinating meetings 

for appropriate U.S. Government agencies, NGOs, and representatives of the Tibetan leadership in exile. 

Trafficking in Persons.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$40,000,000 in this act for Trafficking in Persons programs. Of this 

amount, $6,764,000 is included under the D&CP heading for the 

Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons ($2,899,000 

for programs and $3,865,000 for salaries). 
16 

Compact of Free Association Agreements.—The Committee directs 

the Secretary of State to follow the guidance detailed in Senate Report 112–74 related to the Compact of Free Association agreements 

with the governments of the Federated States of Micronesia, the 

Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. The 

Committee directs the Secretary of State to work within the U.S. 

Government interagency process to help reduce the financial burden placed on affected jurisdictions while ensuring that the important national security benefits of these agreements are preserved. 

The Secretary of State is directed to report to the Committee not 

more than 90 days after enactment of this act on progress made 

in addressing this issue.

of $125,858,000. The Committee supports the independent oversight and investigative responsibilities of the Inspectors General of 

the Department of State, USAID, SIGAR, and SIGIR and directs 

the Inspectors General to coordinate their activities in Iraq and Afghanistan to minimize unnecessary duplication, ensuring that resources are used effectively. The Committee directs the Office of Inspector General to coordinate with the SIGIR as it draws down its 

operations, closes, and completes the transition of remaining work 

to the permanent oversight offices by December 31, 2012.

Youth Exchange.—The Committee supports the goals of the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program, which enables 

secondary school students from countries with significant Muslim 

populations to live with American families and study in the United 

States, and American students to live and study in such countries. 

The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for this program in fiscal 

year 2012. 

One-Time Competitive Grants.—The Committee does not include 

funding for one-time, competitively bid international exchanges, 

which received $6,950,000 in fiscal year 2011. 

REPRESENTATION ALLOWANCES

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. $7,484,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 8,175,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 7,300,000 
18 

The Committee recommends $7,300,000 for Representation Al- lowances, which is $875,000 below 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. Given budget constraints, the Committee directs the 

Secretary of State to limit representation functions and costs to the 

maximum extent practicable. 

PROTECTION OF FOREIGN MISSIONS AND OFFICIALS

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. $27,944,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 27,744,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 27,744,000 

The Committee recommends $27,744,000 for Protection of Foreign Missions and Officials 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 benefit financially 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, 2011 ............................................................................. $1,616,760,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 1,801,517,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,570,000,000 

The Committee recommends $1,570,000,000 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 

$795,000,000 is for maintenance and planning, and $775,000,000 is 

for worldwide security upgrades, acquisition, and construction programs, and recommends funding for Compound Security and Maintenance Cost-Sharing at the budget request. The Committee recommendation does not include funding for the nine new positions 

requested for fiscal year 2012. 

The Committee recommendation includes authorization for the 

Maintenance Cost-Sharing initiative to utilize funding from the 

Capital Security Cost-Sharing program for the maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation of the new facilities with an inter-agency 

presence. 

The Committee is concerned with the long-term sustainability of 

the operating, maintenance, and utility costs for new diplomatic 

and consular facilities and directs the Secretary of State to impose 

a moratorium on developing new projects until the Department of 

State provides the following information to the Committee: (1) the 

additional annual costs for operations and maintenance, including 

utilities and salaries, and the number of additional facilities and 

engineering staff that have been hired to operate the new diplomatic and consular facilities that have become operational since 

the CSCS program began; (2) the estimated additional costs for op-
19 

erations and maintenance, including utilities and salaries, and the 

number of additional facilities and engineering staff necessary to 

operate the diplomatic and consular facilities that have been funded and/or are being constructed; and (3) the plan for addressing the 

$111,000,000 in deferred maintenance at existing diplomatic and 

consular facilities reported in the Department’s 2010 financial 

statements. 

The Committee does not support the use of funds to demolish the 

Ambassador’s residence in Islamabad, Pakistan and directs the 

Secretary of State to consult with the Committee prior to any decision to significantly modify the residence. 

American Centers.—The Committee continues to support the renovation and construction of American Centers through a strategy 

that balances the need for publicly accessible facilities, reasonable 

and sustainable costs, and compliance with the Secure Embassy 

Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 regulations, and 

encourages continued coordination by the offices of Overseas Building Operations, Diplomatic Security and Public Diplomacy to 

achieve this strategy. 

EMERGENCIES IN THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. $9,480,000

The Committee recommends $9,300,000 for Emergencies in the 

Diplomatic and Consular Service to meet unforeseen emergency requirements as authorized by section 4 of the State Department 

Basic Authorities Act. The Committee encourages the Department 

to prioritize expenditures for evacuations and rewards and to minimize the use of this fund for travel and representational expenses. 

In addition to the funds appropriated under this heading, the 

Committee authorizes transfer of up to $10,000,000 under the 

D&CP heading for emergency evacuations and rewards, which is 

equal to the budget request.

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 23,320,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 21,108,000 

The Committee recommends $21,108,000 for the American Institute in Taiwan, to support United States political and security in-
20 

terests, provide consular services, and promote exchange programs 

in Taiwan. AIT will also receive an estimated $19,800,000 in visa 

processing fees and $21,900,000 in reimbursements from other 

agency contracts, providing a total of $62,808,000 in fiscal year 

2012. The Committee understands that the Department of State is 

considering adding Taiwan to the visa waiver program, reducing 

AIT’s visa processing fees by approximately $15,000,000. The Committee directs AIT and the Department to report on the impact of 

the visa waiver program on AIT’s operations and annual budget, 

prior to a final decision on the visa waiver program. The Committee also directs AIT to report on the increased costs for maintaining and operating the new AIT facilities. 

PAYMENT TO THE FOREIGN SERVICE RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY

FUND

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. $158,900,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 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, 2011 ............................................................................. $1,578,651,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 1,619,400,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,585,000,000 

The Committee recommends $1,585,000,000 for Contributions to 

International Organizations, for the assessed costs of U.S. membership in international organizations as authorized by conventions, 

treaties, or specific acts of Congress. The United States has participated in international organizations for decades, many of which 

serve important U.S. national interests but some may no longer be 

cost-effective. The Committee directs the Department of State to 

conduct a review of all such organizations, and for any which no 

longer merit U.S. contributions to promptly initiate steps to withdraw. 

The bill includes a provision directing the Department of State 

to use credits to United States-assessed contributions to the United 

Nations Tax Equalization Fund to offset other assessed contributions to the United Nations, subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations. 

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. $1,883,931,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 1,920,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,917,900,000 

Enduring operations ....................................................................... 1,900,000,000 

Overseas Contingency Operations ................................................ 1 17,900,000 

1Overseas Contingency Operations is funded under title VIII. 

The Committee recommends $1,917,900,000 for Contributions for 

International Peacekeeping Activities, including $17,900,000 for 
21 

OCO costs. An additional $51,000,000 is included under the PKO 

heading for a contribution for assessed peacekeeping activities in 

Somalia. 

The Committee recognizes the significant contribution to international peace and security provided by United Nations peacekeeping activities, without the participation of United States 

troops. The Committee notes, however, that U.N. peacekeeping 

missions have often suffered from deficiencies, including inadequate equipment to effectively protect civilians, troops without 

proper training or with a history of human rights violations, and 

troops that have committed sexual abuses while on peacekeeping 

missions. The United Nations, donor countries, and troop-contributing countries have a shared responsibility to ensure that troops 

are qualified and properly trained and equipped for the missions 

for which they are deployed, and that troops who commit abuses 

are prosecuted and punished. The Committee requires the Secretary of State to work with troop contributing countries and the 

United Nations to develop effective procedures to vet U.N. peacekeeping troops. 

The Committee directs that funds be available for peacekeeping 

activities unless the Secretary of State determines that United 

States manufacturers and suppliers are not being given opportunities to provide equipment, services, and material for United Nations peacekeeping activities equal to those being given to foreign 

manufacturers and suppliers. 

The bill includes a provision under this heading directing the Department of State to use credits to United States-assessed contributions to prior missions and the U.N. Tax Equalization Fund to offset other assessed contributions to the United Nations, subject to 

the regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations. 

INTERNATIONAL COMMISSIONS

The Committee recommends funding to meet U.S. treaty obligations to international commissions in fiscal year 2012 and recognizes that funds are requested under the Department of State as 

a result of international treaties.

The Committee recommends $11,687,000 for American Sections, 

of which $2,433,000 is for the International Boundary Commission, 

$6,928,000 is for the International Joint Commission, and 

$2,326,000 is for the Border Environment Cooperation Commission. 

These funds support environmental infrastructure projects along 

the United States-Mexico border relating to wastewater treatment, 

drinking water preservation, solid waste management, and air 

quality improvement. 

The Committee notes the historic flooding that occurred earlier 

this year along the Souris River, which overwhelmed existing bilateral flood control measures and had devastating effects in Minot, 

North Dakota and the surrounding area. The Committee recommends that the Department of State request that the International Joint Commission, through the International Souris River 

Board, review ‘‘Annex A’’ of the 1989 bilateral agreement for Water 

Supply and Flood Control in the Souris River Basin and identify 

revisions to improve bilateral flood control efforts.

The Committee recommends $36,300,000 for the International 

Fisheries Commissions. Within the amount provided for GLFC, 

$3,000,000 is for lamprey control and water quality improvements 

in the Lake Champlain Basin and $2,009,000 is for sea lamprey 

control and fishery research for the Great Lakes Basin. 

The Committee supports efforts to strengthen conservation initiatives and healthy fisheries through bilateral and multilateral 

agreements, especially in the strategically significant Western Pacific. In pursuing such efforts, the Department is encouraged to 

properly consider the economic costs such agreements may have on 

demonstrably sustainable U.S. fisheries, especially when weighed 

against the relative efficacy such agreements have with regard to 

encouraging similar levels of sustainability in foreign fleets. The 

Committee requests that the Department of State keep the Committee appropriately informed in the event that negotiations pertaining to any Western Pacific fishery agreement are likely to result in a detrimental impact for U.S. fisheries.

Editorial Controls.—The Committee directs the BBG to notify 

the Committee within 15 days of any determination by the Board 

that any of its broadcast entities are found to be in violation of relevant journalistic code of ethics. 

Congressional Notifications.—The Committee is concerned with 

the lack of transparency regarding the ‘‘optimize BBG transmission’’ proposal included in the fiscal year 2012 Congressional 

Budget Justification which states that this proposal includes ‘‘various efficiencies and realignments of the BBG’s worldwide transmission network’’ when the proposal would reduce shortwave and 

medium wave transmissions to Russia, Iran, North Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. The Committee directs the BBG to notify the Committee when BBG broadcast hours are reduced or increased and 

when transmission platforms are changed. 

Program Changes.—The Committee does not include the funds 

requested for program enhancements. However, the BBG may propose reallocations to fund these increases in the fiscal year 2012 

spend plan. While the Committee recognizes that VOA English language and cultural programs are reaching audiences, particularly 

youth, via the Internet in the PRC, the Committee is concerned 

with the lack of clarity about the impact of the China broadcast restructuring proposal on all VOA radio and television programs 

broadcast to the PRC and Taiwan, and the lack of transparency of 

the ‘‘optimize BBG transmission’’ proposal. The Committee does not 

support either proposal and includes funding for the continuation 

of these broadcasts and transmissions. 

Internet Programs.—The Committee recognizes the BBG’s efforts 

to expand access to information and communications tools such as 

collaborative media and social networking to Internet users worldwide, including in closed societies subject to monitoring and censorship, and encourages the BBG to evaluate emerging online broadcasting and communication methods to reach these audiences. The 

Committee provides $2,500,000 to support expanded Internet anticensorship efforts, in addition to funds otherwise available for such 

purposes. The Committee directs that prior to obligation the BBG 

submit a report detailing planned expenditures for these funds, 

and not later than September 30, 2012, the BBG submit a report 

on the programs supported by these funds and an assessment of 

the programs. 

Tibet.—The Committee includes sufficient funding to continue 

RFA and VOA Tibetan language services.

The Committee recognizes the unique role of TAF and its longstanding relationship with local communities based on its diverse 

field presence, and includes funding to maintain offices in PRC, 

Vietnam and Thailand and to enable TAF to respond to emerging 

needs in the region. The Committee expects TAF to undertake cost 

savings and efficiencies in its U.S. offices.

Institute for Peace, including $8,411,000 for OCO costs. The Committee supports efforts by USIP to control costs by reducing staff, 

publications and seminars and focusing its mission on such critical 

areas as joint training exercises with the Department of Defense 

personnel and in-country programs.

The Committee recommends $16,700,000 for the East-West Center. The Committee recognizes the role of the EWC in supporting 

U.S. interests in the Asia-Pacific region through its research, analysis and exchange programs. EWC programs also provide unique 

opportunities to bring together government, business, NGO, and 

academic leaders from the United States and Asian countries. The 

Committee encourages EWC to reduce its administrative operations, including in its Washington office. 

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 104,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 117,764,000 

The Committee recommends $117,764,000 for the National Endowment for Democracy. 

The Committee recognizes NED’s unique role in promoting democracy and human rights abroad and believes that NED should 

play a larger role in such activities. The Committee recommends 

additional funding to strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations and local leaders who are peacefully advocating for democracy and human rights. USAID and the Department of State are 

directed to coordinate other democracy programs in those countries 

with NED to avoid duplication. NED should not be precluded from 

competitively bidding on other grant solicitations. 

NED is directed to submit a financial plan not later than 60 days 

after enactment of this act detailing the proposed distribution of 

funds in a manner similar to prior years, to consult with the Com-
27 

mittee on any proposed deviation from the plan, and to apportion 

core funds in the traditional and customary fashion among core institutes. 

This grant to the Department of State is a pass-through directly 

to NED, and funds under this heading shall not be subject to prior 

approval by the Department of State and USAID, or to administrative or management surcharges. Minimal expenses, if any, should 

be charged to general Department of State operating expenses. 

The Committee recommends $250,000 for programs and activities in Tibet.

1Overseas Contingency Operations is funded under title VIII. 

The Committee recommends $1,357,000,000 for USAID Operating Expenses, including $106,000,000 for OCO costs. 

Procurement Reform.—The Committee strongly supports initiatives by the USAID Administrator to reform USAID’s cumbersome 

procurement process, and other initiatives to increase transparency 

and provide for independent evaluations of USAID operations and 

programs. These initiatives are long overdue, as significant institutional changes are needed to enable USAID to become the accessible, transparent, and effective agency the country needs. Equally 

necessary is a change of culture at USAID to one that encourages 

staff to challenge conventional assumptions and approaches, and 

voice concerns about poor management or waste without fear of 

being thwarted or punished. 

The Committee recommends funding for 35 additional civilian 

service positions to support procurement reform. 

The Committee supports a wide representation of minority 

groups within the USAID workforce and improved diversity of businesses and NGOs that receive USAID contracts and grants, and 

encourages the USAID Administrator to identify and implement 

steps to improve minority recruitment and retention of USAID employees, contractors, and grantees in the United States and overseas. 

Due to budget constraints, the Committee does not recommend 

funding for additional Development Leadership Initiative positions 

or for DLI-related physical space expansion. 

Partner Vetting.—The Committee continues the requirements of 

section 7034(o) of Public Law 111–117 relating to a Partner Vetting 

System [PVS], and directs the Secretary of State and USAID Administrator to consult on plans to expand PVS beyond a pilot program.

MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH

The Committee recommends $595,000,000 for maternal and child 

health activities under the GHP account. The Committee recognizes the critical role that maternal and child health programs play 

in overall global health, and that most deaths of children before the 

age of 5 and of women from pregnancy-related causes could be prevented with low-cost interventions by trained health workers. 

GHI Implementation.—Not later than 180 days after enactment 

of this act, the Executive Director of the GHI, in consultation with 

the GHI Operations Committee, shall submit a report to the Committee assessing the state of implementation and early impact of 

the GHI in the eight original GHI Plus countries. The report shall 

address the initial implementation phases of the GHI to achieve 

the objectives of increasing the impact of U.S. assistance, achieving 

efficiencies and improving cost effectiveness, and enhancing the 

sustainability of U.S. support through greater country ownership. 

Micronutrients.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$30,000,000 for micronutrients, of which not less than $20,000,000 

is to address Vitamin A deficiencies. 

The Committee recommends not less than $2,000,000 for the 

USAID/UNICEF IDD program to prevent mental retardation in 

children. 

Midwifery.—The Committee recognizes the efficacy of training 

local healthcare providers as midwives to assist women in avoiding 

and addressing pregnancy complications and reducing maternal 

and child mortality. The Committee urges USAID to continue to invest in training local midwives. 

Polio.—The Committee recommends not less than $39,500,000 

for polio eradication efforts, including $35,000,000 under this heading and an additional $4,500,000 from the ESF heading to support 

efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Funds should be used to pro-
33 

vide for the delivery of vaccines and the development of the infrastructure necessary to implement the program. 

Vaccines and Immunization.—The Committee recommends 

$100,000,000 for the GAVI Alliance. The GAVI Alliance provides 

vaccines for children in the poorest countries, including new vaccines against pneumococcal disease and rotavirus, and serves important U.S. humanitarian interests in preventing the needless 

deaths of millions of children. 

Vulnerable Children.—The Committee recommends $17,500,000 

for programs and activities that address the needs of vulnerable 

children, of which not less than $2,500,000 is for assistance for 

blind children. USAID should administer the programs in a manner that delivers the maximum amount of funds to the field, and 

should consider support for cleft lip and cleft palate surgery programs. 

In consultation with the Committee, the Office of Displaced Children and Orphans Fund is directed to devise and implement model 

programs that provide up to $4,500,000 for technical assistance to 

partner governments to assess the needs and number of such children living outside of family care and the progress made in placing 

children in safe and stable families. 

The Committee encourages USAID to institutionalize the secretariat established in Public Law 109–95 and notes the important 

interagency efforts of the Special Advisor on Orphans and Vulnerable Children and Secretariat. 

FAMILY PLANNING/REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

The Committee recommends a total of $700,000,000 from all accounts in this act for family planning and reproductive health programs, including $585,000,000 under this heading, $75,000,000 

under the ESF and AEECA headings, and $40,000,000 for UNFPA. 

Clarification.—The Committee does not continue to include language in a general provision regarding funding for abortions and 

involuntary sterilization (section 7018 of Public Law 111–117) that 

was simply a restatement of permanent law (section 104(f) of the 

FAA). Instead, the Committee includes the last sentence of that 

provision. 

HIV/AIDS

The Committee recommends a total of $5,600,000,000 for pro- grams and activities to combat HIV/AIDS, of which $5,250,000,000 

is for the Department of State and $350,000,000 is for USAID. 

Antiretroviral Treatment.—Despite advances in antiretroviral 

treatments and other efforts to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS, 

the trajectory of people who continue to need ARV treatment continues to increase. Along with other tools to prevent the transmission of HIV, USAID should continue to support research and 

development of a preventive vaccine to combat the AIDS virus. 

The Committee is aware of the findings of the HIV Prevention 

Trials Network 052 [HPTN 052] for reductions in the transmission 

of HIV. The U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator is directed to consult 

with the Committee on the work of S/GAC Scientific Advisory 

Board on HPTN 052, including how U.S. assistance in a constrained budget environment could most effectively prevent HIV 
34 

transmission through ARV treatment and other proven interventions. 

Global Fund.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$750,000,000 for a U.S. contribution to the Global Fund to Fight 

AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. 

The Committee supports the role of the Office of Inspector General [OIG] of the Global Fund, and encourages both the Fund’s 

Board of Directors and OIG to continue efforts to increase transparency and improve oversight of Fund grants. The Committee 

supports the action taken by UNDP to grant the Global Fund OIG 

access to its internal audits and is supportive of the recommendation to grant access to such audits through a secure Web site. The 

Committee remains concerned with the continued lack of transparency and access to UNDP reports. All recipients of Global Fund 

implementation funding should be subject to the same standards of 

investigation and oversight. 

Microbicides.—The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for research on and development of microbicides to prevent HIV. 

S/GAC Notifications.—The Committee supports S/GAC’s efforts 

to reform its congressional notification procedures to provide detailed information in a useful format for funding requests, planned 

expenditures, and reprogrammings, and directs S/GAC to continue 

to consult with the Committee on these matters. The Committee 

reminds S/GAC that reprogrammed funds are subject to section 

7015 of this act. 

UNAIDS.—The Committee provides $45,000,000 for a U.S. contribution to UNAIDS. 

INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Influenza Pandemic Preparedness and Response.—The Committee recommends $59,000,000 to prevent the spread of avian influenza and the H1N1 virus and other disease pandemics. The 

Committee includes new authority to use funds appropriated under 

other accounts in the act to respond to a pandemic outbreak, notwithstanding any provision of law, and subject to prior consultation 

and notification. 

Malaria.—The Committee recommends $642,000,000 for programs to combat malaria. The Committee recommends additional 

funding to support diagnosis and treatment of malaria through 

NGOs in Burma, in a transparent and accountable manner consistent with U.S. policy. The Committee recognizes the role of institutions of higher education in combating the health, economic, and 

security impacts of malaria, and the continued improvements in 

Federal Drug Administration-approved drugs for malaria prevention. 

The Committee encourages USAID to continue to support the development of a vaccine against malaria. 

Neglected Tropical Diseases.—The Committee recommends 

$89,000,000 to continue and expand the ongoing USAID integrated 

response program for NTDs. The Committee requests to be consulted prior to the obligation of funds, including on country-specific 

allocations. 

Tuberculosis.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$225,000,000 for programs to combat TB.

PROGRAMS

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY

The Committee recommends $1,300,000,000 for the Feed the Future Initiative from all accounts in this act. The Committee supports the administration’s efforts to significantly increase the U.S. 

response to agricultural and food security needs in the poorest 

countries. The Committee recommends language in section 7025 to 

help facilitate the local purchase of food in order to speed delivery 

in emergencies, bolster the incomes of local producers, and reduce 

the cost to U.S. taxpayers. The Committee also includes language 

in section 7057(d) to strengthen and expand the integration of 

women as key recipients of agricultural aid and technical assistance. 

The Committee continues to support agricultural research 

through the CGIAR and urges USAID to expand its investment in 

wheat and corn research. 

Collaborative Research Support Programs.—The Committee recommends not less than $31,500,000 for CRSPs. The Committee 

supports efforts to improve agricultural productivity in Iraq and Afghanistan by strengthening higher education institutions in those 

countries. 

Global Crop Diversity Trust.—The Committee recommends a 

U.S. 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. 

Land Grant Institutions.—The Committee supports the work of 

land grant institutions of higher learning by using agricultural research to assist developing nations improve systems of value-added 

food production, strengthen trade linkages with the United States, 

and improve quality of life and food sustainability globally through 

programs aimed at increasing human capacity. 

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. 

Development Innovation Ventures.—The Committee recommends 

funding for DIV to support innovative development initiatives with 

the potential for scale-up that could have wide impact and lead to 

cost savings, while leveraging private sector support. 
36 

Microenterprise and Microfinance Development Programs.—The 

Committee recommends $255,000,000 in this act for microfinance 

and microenterprise development programs, and directs USAID to 

continue to target 50 percent of all microfinance and microenterprise funds to the very poor, as required by section 251(c) of the 

FAA. The Committee recognizes that different approaches are 

called for to respond to the needs of a range of poor to extremely 

poor beneficiaries, and directs USAID to track and report to the 

Committee the amounts and types of assistance and the number of 

households in this range who receive microenterprise and microfinance loans. The Committee also includes language in section 

7056 to strengthen and expand economic opportunities for poor 

women in developing countries, including increasing the number 

and capacity of women-owned enterprises, improving property 

rights, access to financial services and capital, and enhancing the 

role of women in economic decisionmaking at local, national and 

international levels. 

EDUCATION

Basic Education.—The Committee recommends $745,000,000 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. 

Higher Education.—The Committee recommends $200,000,000 in 

this act for higher education programs, including $25,000,000 for 

such programs in Africa of which $15,000,000 is for partnerships 

between higher education institutions in Africa and the United 

States. Partnerships should be selected through an open, competitive process, and focus on fields that are key to development such 

as agriculture, environment and natural resources, engineering, 

science and technology, health, education and teacher training, 

public administration, and business. 

American Schools and Hospitals Abroad Program.—The Committee recommends $22,500,000 for the ASHA program, which is 

equal to the fiscal year 2011 level, with the expectation that 

USAID will allocate funds under similar terms and conditions as 

in 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. 

CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMS

The Committee recognizes the Earth’s climate is changing and 

the need to help developing countries reduce greenhouse gas emissions; develop clean energy and increase energy efficiency; adapt to 

rising temperatures, water and food scarcity, and rising sea levels; 

protect forests and other biodiversity; and implement policies for 

the transparent and sustainable use of natural resources. The 

Committee recommends a total of $1,250,000,000 in this act for climate change and environment programs funded through USAID, 

the Department of State, and the Department of the Treasury, including $200,000,000 for biodiversity conservation programs. 
37 

Adaptation.—The Committee supports funding for programs to 

assist developing countries adapt to climate change hazards, including decreases in agricultural productivity, water scarcity, and 

rising sea levels. 

Biodiversity.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$200,000,000 for programs to protect tropical forests and other biodiversity including $30,000,000 for USAID’s conservation programs 

in the Amazon of which $20,000,000 is for the Initiative for Conservation in the Andean Amazon and $10,000,000 is for the Brazilian Amazon, with a priority on strengthening the capacity of indigenous organizations to protect tropical forests and biodiversity. 

The Committee recommends $21,000,000 for the CBFP, of which 

$9,000,000 is for a direct apportionment to the USFWS to continue 

and expand its programs in central Africa including to protect 

great apes. 

The Committee remains concerned with continuing rapid rates of 

deforestation and degradation, particularly due to the expansion of 

industrial-scale logging and the illegal harvesting of timber in primary tropical forests. The Committee intends that assistance to 

protect tropical forests should support measures to strengthen forest governance, ensure tenure rights for indigenous peoples and 

local communities living in and around forests, promote full and effective participation of civil society in land-use planning and other 

forest policy decisions, and increase community ownership and 

management of natural forests for multiple values as an alternative to industrial-scale logging. Tropical forest management activities should maintain the natural ecological functions, biodiversity and resilience of tropical forests. The classification of primary 

tropical forests should be based on the most recent comprehensive 

assessments, such as the 2010 Global Forest Resources Assessment 

produced by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. 

The Committee recommends continued funding for USAID’s programs 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. Funds may also be used for a U.S. contribution to the Galapagos Invasive Species Fund. The Committee 

recommends $2,000,000 for implementation of the Lacey Act. 

The Committee also recommends that funding under this heading be used to protect endangered forests, wildlife, and water ecosystems through other international programs administered by the 

USFS (forest and wildlife conservation) and the USFWS (multilateral species and migratory bird conservation). The Committee also 

supports funding for international programs of the NPS (national 

park management) and NOAA (coral reefs and marine-protected 

areas). These agencies have particular expertise that should be put 

to greater use in assisting developing countries protect the environment and endangered species. 

Clean Energy.—The Committee intends that funds for clean energy programs under title III of this act shall be used only to support programs that promote the sustainable use of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency technologies, carbon sequestration, and carbon accounting. The primary objective of these pro-
38 

grams should be to reduce, mitigate, and/or sequester emissions of 

greenhouse gases. 

Oceans.—The Committee is aware that CO2 emissions from 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 uses of funds for climate change programs. 

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Judicial Reform.—The Committee supports judicial reform as an 

important component of rule of law programs worldwide, particularly in developing and post-conflict countries. The Committee supports the use of funds under this heading and the ESF heading to 

continue judicial reform programs. 

Nongovernmental Organizations.—The Committee recommends 

in section 7027 making permanent law, through amendment of the 

FAA, a long-standing waiver authority for activities conducted 

through NGOs. 

Patrick Leahy War Victims Fund.—The Committee recommends 

$12,000,000 for the LWVF, administered by USAID, which assists 

persons who are severely disabled as a result of armed conflict. 

Victims of Torture.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$11,000,000 for programs and activities that address the needs of 

victims of torture and victims of trauma resulting from violent conflict. The Committee recommends support for centers for victims of 

torture that provide services consistent with the goals of Public 

Law 106–87. An additional $6,000,000 is recommended for the U.N. 

Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture under the IO&P account. In 

addition, the Committee requires a report on countries receiving 

U.S. assistance whose security forces use torture, and that funds 

be used to assist in eliminating torture in such countries. 

Water.—The Committee recommends not less than $315,000,000 

in this act for water sanitation and supply projects pursuant to 

Public Law 109–121. The Committee intends these funds to be 

used for programs to provide safe drinking water for urban and 

rural communities where water scarcity or contamination poses serious risks to human health or survival, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. 

The Committee recommends USAID consider supporting efficient 

and sustainable rain-harvesting, ridge tillage systems in West and 

sub-Saharan Africa that provide a supply of clean water for household use, irrigation and other purposes. 

Women’s Leadership.—The Committee recommends $20,000,000 

to support women’s leadership capacity building programs. 

COUNTRIES

Ecuador.—The Committee is concerned with the extensive oil 

contamination of land and water in Northeastern Ecuador which 

poses grave health risks for the local population. The Committee 

directs that not less than $500,000 be made available for rainwater 

collection or other access to potable water for local residents, and 

to assist the Ministry of Health in providing local diagnosis and 

treatment for chronic illnesses resulting from such contamination. 

Technical assistance should also be made available to the Govern-
39 

ment of Ecuador in identifying best practices for the remediation 

of oil-contaminated land and water and environmentally safe petroleum production. 

Guatemala.—The Committee recommends $1,000,000 for a direct 

apportionment to the U.S. Department of the Interior for biodiversity and archaeological conservation activities in Guatemala’s 

Mayan Biosphere Reserve, to include governance and law enforcement. 

Indonesia.—The Committee recommends $70,000,000 under this 

heading for assistance for Indonesia of which not less than 

$400,000 should be made available for grants for capacity building 

of Indonesian human rights organizations, including in Papua. 

Nepal.—The Committee recommends $7,000,000 under this heading for assistance for Nepal, and directs that not less than 

$1,000,000 be made available to support training and other assistance to enhance the participation and leadership of Dalits and 

other minority groups in political and economic decisionmaking at 

the local, provincial and national levels. 

The Committee is aware of the debilitating problem of uterine 

prolapse among Nepali women and directs USAID to support efforts to address it. 

Philippines.—The Committee recommends $35,000,000 under 

this heading for assistance for the Philippines. 

Rwanda and Uganda.—The Committee recommends support for 

local and international NGOs to conduct oversight of the conflict 

minerals trade flowing out of eastern DRC and to strengthen border controls with the DRC. 

Senegal.—The Committee recommends not less than $50,000,000 

for assistance for Senegal under this heading. None of the funds 

appropriated in this act and prior acts that are available for assistance for the central Government of Senegal should be obligated 

until the Secretary of State reports to the Committees on Appropriations that Hisse`ne Habre ́ has been extradited to Belgium for 

prosecution for crimes against humanity.

COUNTRY ISSUES

Afghanistan.—The Committee recognizes that sustainable development is necessary to achieve stability in Afghanistan. The Com-
42 

mittee cautions that smaller projects, with an emphasis on local capacity building, have the best chance of producing cost-effective, 

sustainable results. 

The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for the Afghan Civilian 

Assistance Program to assist individuals and communities that suffer losses as a result of military operations, if problems identified 

by the USAID IG with the implementation of the program are addressed. The Committee directs USAID to consult with the Committee on the use of funds prior to obligation. 

The Committee continues conditions on assistance which seek to 

increase the effectiveness of programs, prioritize the role of women, 

and improve transparency and accountability to prevent corruption. 

The Committee directs the USAID Administrator, in consultation 

with the Department of State’s Ambassador-at-Large for Global 

Women’s Issues, to submit a report to the Committee not later 

than 90 days after enactment of the act on efforts to integrate Afghan women as active participants and beneficiaries of programs in 

the areas of infrastructure, agricultural and energy capacity, and 

economic growth. The Committee recommends not less than $5,000,000 under this 

heading for the Office of Global Women’s Issues for small grants 

for capacity building of Afghan women-led NGOs to enhance the 

participation and leadership of women in the economy and political 

decisionmaking. 

The Committee is concerned that civil service training programs 

will not be sustained without greater support from the Government 

of Afghanistan. The Committee directs USAID to report to the 

Committee on these programs, including an assessment of the 

number of skilled civilians required to staff the Afghan civil administration and the projected cost to the government of sustaining 

them. 

The Committee endorses the budget request for rule of law and 

justice programs funded under this and the INCLE headings. The 

Committee requires that $75,000,000 of such funds be under the 

authority of the Rule of Law Coordinator at the U.S. Embassy in 

Kabul. 

Burma.—The Committee requests the U.S. Special Envoy and 

Policy Coordinator for Burma to regularly consult with the Committee on programs conducted in Burma and along the Thai-Burma 

border. The Committee encourages the Special Envoy to continue 

regular consultations with democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu 

Kyi on U.S. assistance and sanctions matters. 

Cambodia.—The Committee remains concerned with allegations 

of corruption within the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, and continues conditionality on the availability of funds for the KRT on a Secretary 

of State certification that the U.N. and Government of Cambodia 

are taking effective steps to address such allegations. 

Colombia.—The Committee recommends $179,000,000 under this 

heading for alternative development/institution building in Colombia of which $8,000,000 is transferred to the MRA heading for assistance for Colombian refugees in neighboring countries, 

$15,000,000 is for assistance for Afro-Colombian and Indigenous 

communities including $500,000 for renewable energy activities, 

and $3,000,000 is for biodiversity conservation programs. The Com-
43 

mittee also supports funding for flood recovery, including enabling 

small-scale farmers to adjust to changing market conditions. 

The Committee recommends $500,000 for community-based programs in Colombia which address the psychological, social, rehabilitative and educational needs of children and adolescents disabled by landmines and other causes related to the armed conflict. 

Costa Rica.—The Committee is concerned that many countries, 

including Costa Rica, are failing to meet their commitments under 

the Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abductions (the Convention), done at the Hague on October 25, 1980. The 

Committee includes a provision authorizing the Secretary of State 

to withhold ESF assistance for the central government of any country that the Secretary determines is not taking appropriate steps 

to comply with the Convention. 

Cuba.—The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for humanitarian and other assistance for Cuba. The Committee expects that 

funds will be made available, and programs carried out, in a transparent manner. The USAID Administrator is directed to provide 

regular updates to the Committee on the number of Cubans who 

receive assistance and the types of assistance. 

Cyprus.—The Committee continues support for scholarships, 

bicommunal projects, and measures aimed at reunification, reducing tension and promoting peace and cooperation in Cyprus. Consultation with the Government of Cyprus should occur whenever 

practicable in the interest of transparency in the allocation of 

funds. The Committee intends that implementing organizations 

and the specific nature of the assistance shall not be subject to the 

prior approval of any foreign government. 

Democratic Republic of the Congo.—The Committee recommends 

funding to help demilitarize the mining sector in eastern Congo, 

support independent monitoring of the mining trade, assist mine 

laborers, build local oversight and regulatory capacity, help victims 

of sexual violence, and establish an Independent Mineral Supply 

Chain Auditor in the Great Lakes Region of Africa (within the Executive Secretariat of the International Conference on the Great 

Lakes Region) to combat the illicit trade in minerals from the region. 

East Asia and the Pacific.—The Committee recognizes the importance of democracy, governance, human rights, development and 

economic growth programs in the East Asia and Pacific region 

under this, the DA, ESF and NADR headings. The Committee is 

concerned that the budget request for such programs totals only 

one-eighth of the amount requested for programs in Africa and the 

Near East, respectively, and reflects a 30 percent decrease from the 

previous fiscal year. 

The Committee remains concerned with conflicting claims on territory in the Pacific region, including the Spratly Islands, which 

may serve as flashpoints for confrontation between regional states. 

Given the PRC’s active and opaque military modernization program, the Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report not later than 90 days after enactment of this act assessing 

the PRC’s long-term strategic intentions in the region, including 

through the use of ‘‘soft power’’ influence, and potential for conflict 
44 

between the PRC and regional states. The report may be submitted 

in classified form, if necessary. 

The Committee endorses funding for continued U.S. engagement 

in multilateral institutions in Asia that contribute to security and 

stability, including through the APEC forum, the Association for 

Southeast Asian Nations, and the Lower Mekong Initiative. 

Egypt.—The Committee recommends up to $250,000,000 for assistance for Egypt, including for programs to promote democracy 

and protect human rights. The Committee restricts assistance to 

the central Government of Egypt unless the Secretary of State certifies that the government is meeting certain conditions, including 

its obligations under the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty. This requirement also includes a national interest waiver. The Committee 

also authorizes up to $500,000,000 of current and prior fiscal year 

funds to provide debt relief and funds to establish an enterprise 

fund for Egypt. The Committee is aware that the administration 

intends to use $50,000,000 in fiscal year 2012 funding for debt relief, but notes that subject to reprogramming notification requirements use of additional funds could be considered. 

The Committee expects that should Egypt be in material breach 

of its obligations under the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty, debt 

relief and enterprise fund programs, if initiated, should be suspended. 

The Committee remains concerned with the deterioration of security in the Sinai, including the use of the territory for attacks 

against Israel and gas lines by terrorists, and the use of illicit tunnels to smuggle weapons into Gaza. Funds appropriated by this act 

should be used to support and increase efforts of the Government 

of Egypt to mitigate these threats. Funds should also be used to 

increase participation and oversight by civil society in Egyptian 

elections, including by NGOs. 

Haiti.—The Committee recommends the budget request for assistance for Haiti, and is concerned that the post-earthquake recovery effort has fallen well short of what could and should have been 

achieved so far. The Committee is aware that a culture of dependency on international aid to solve Haiti’s problems, coupled with a 

long history of corruption and neglect on the part of successive Haitian governments, as well as poorly designed and implemented programs, have contributed to Haiti’s many challenges. The Committee urges USAID to communicate directly and frequently with 

the Haitian people about U.S. relief and reconstruction programs 

and plans, and to solicit their input at every opportunity. 

The Committee recognizes the urgent need to build a functioning 

justice system in Haiti, but notes that prior attempts have too 

often been poorly designed, costly and produced few tangible results. The Committee supports limited expenditures to address the 

most egregious problems, such as prolonged pre-trial detention, 

until important positions such as Minister of Justice and Attorney 

General have been filled with qualified individuals and the government has a realistic justice reform strategy with achievable and 

sustainable goals, benchmarks for measuring progress, and expected results. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to 

submit a report not later than 45 days after enactment of this act 

detailing the status of investigations and prosecutions of those re-
45 

sponsible for the killings of inmates at the Les Cayes prison in January 2010. 

The Committee supports funding for reforestation, efficient cook 

stove programs, and justice sector reform including improvements 

in conditions in Haiti’s prisons, and public and private sector efforts to increase the availability of reliable, affordable electricity. 

The Committee supports continued assistance to develop industrial parks and labor programs which capitalize on U.S. trade preferences consistent with internationally recognized labor rights. 

Iran.—The Committee supports the continuation of programs to 

promote democracy and human rights in Iran. 

Iraq.—Certain conditions on assistance for Iraq in prior appropriations acts are continued, including cost-matching requirements 

and a prohibition on assistance to enter into a permanent basing 

rights agreement between the United States and Iraq. 

The Committee continues to recognize the importance of providing targeted assistance to ethno-religious minorities in Iraq to 

help ensure their continued survival, especially those living in the 

Nineveh Plains region. The Committee directs the Department of 

State to submit a report, not later than 90 days after enactment 

of this act, detailing U.S. efforts to help these communities, including assistance consistent with Article 125 of the Iraqi Constitution; 

assistance in building an indigenous community police force in the 

Nineveh Plains; and efforts to support NGOs in the region. 

The Committee continues to support the Marla Ruzicka Iraqi 

War Victims Fund to assist civilian victims of conflict, and the 

transition of this program to an Iraqi-run entity. 

The Committee recommends the budget request for Economic 

Growth programs which are aimed at sustaining Iraq’s long term 

stability. However, funding is reduced below the request for Governance Strengthening and Administrative Reform programs, the 

costs of which the Committee believes the Government of Iraq 

should assume. The Committee encourages the administration and 

the Government of Iraq to explore other, more sustainable funding 

mechanisms for programs under this heading, especially as Iraq’s 

oil revenues continue to increase. 

Jordan.—The Committee recommends $360,000,000 for Jordan 

and includes authority for the establishment of an enterprise fund. 

Lebanon.—The Committee recommends $12,000,000 for scholarships for students in Lebanon with high financial need to attend 

not-for-profit educational institutions in Lebanon that meet standards comparable to those required for American accreditation. The 

institutions, students and their families are encouraged to meet as 

much of the cost of the education as possible in order to share the 

commitment to the future of Lebanon, to maximize the number of 

students who are assisted, and to minimize the cost per student to 

the American taxpayer. All students should be eligible for scholarships based on need, academic record, and potential to contribute 

to the long-term political, economic, and social development of Lebanon. 

The Committee recommends $500,000 for continued support for 

USFS forest and biodiversity conservation programs in Lebanon. 

Liberia.—The Committee urges the Department of State and 

USAID to prioritize good governance and transparency in the Libe-
46 

rian forest sector, including Liberia’s performance under the EITI, 

the independence of the General Auditing Commission, and support for civil society organizations to monitor logging operations 

and the forestry reform process. The Committee further urges 

USAID to support the Government of Liberia and civil society in 

developing a comprehensive natural resource management strategy 

to include mapping current natural resources and competing land 

uses, evaluating the best uses of natural resources for the benefit 

of the country, and applying effective standards of social, environmental, and human rights protections. 

Libya.—The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for democracy, 

governance, rule of law, transitional justice and human rights activities in Libya, to be provided on a cost-matching basis, as appropriate. The Committee recognizes the need for technical assistance 

to aid the Transitional National Council in establishing accountable and democratic governance structures in Libya, and recommends that OTI manage these funds. 

The Committee expects the Transitional National Council or any 

successor government to support and assist the continuing investigation into the bombing of Pan Am 103 and any other terrorist 

attacks attributable to the government of Muammar Qaddafi 

against U.S. citizens, including by providing access to documents, 

witnesses and other information. 

The Committee requires that any infrastructure rehabilitation or 

reconstruction assistance for Libya be provided only as a loan, with 

terms favorable to the United States. However, the Committee does 

not expect any assistance to be provided for this purpose. 

The Committee expects the Transitional National Council or any 

successor government to support and assist the continuing investigation into the bombing of Pan Am 103 and any other terrorist 

attacks attributable to the government of Muammar Gaddafi 

against U.S. citizens, including by providing access to documents, 

witnesses and other information. 

Middle East/North Africa Transition Fund.—The Committee recognizes that dynamic events in the Middle East and North Africa 

regions create significant programmatic and bureaucratic challenges in responding to unanticipated political crises. The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for a new transition fund to provide the Department of State and USAID with the flexibility necessary to respond quickly to such events. The Secretary of State 

and USAID Administrator are directed to consult with the Committee prior to obligating funds. 

Pakistan.— The Committee recommends not less than $5,000,000 

for the Pakistan Civilian Assistance Program to assist individuals 

and communities that suffer losses as a result of military operations, and directs USAID to consult with the Committee on the 

use of funds prior to obligation. 

People’s Republic of China.—The Committee recommends 

$20,000,000 under this heading to U.S. institutions of higher education and NGOs for democracy, governance, rule of law, and environment programs in the PRC. These programs support training 

for citizens, lawyers, and businesses on key issues including criminal justice, occupational safety, and environmental protection. 
47 

South Sudan.—The Committee supports assistance for the recently independent Republic of South Sudan, which faces numerous 

challenges, and includes conditions concerning budget transparency 

and governance. 

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. 

Timor-Leste.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$1,000,000 for higher education scholarships in Timor-Leste. 

Tunisia.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for democracy 

and governance programs in Tunisia, and to protect human rights. 

The Committee also recommends funding for the cost of loan guarantees as authorized by section 635 of the FAA. 

Uganda.—The Committee supports the goals of the Lord’s Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act (Public Law 111–172), and recommends up to $10,000,000 to support its 

implementation. 

Vietnam.—The Committee recommends $15,000,000 under this 

heading for environmental remediation of dioxin-contamination at 

the Da Nang and Bien Hoa airports and other severely contaminated sites, and $5,000,000 under the DA heading for health/disability activities in areas that were targeted with Agent Orange, 

for a total of $20,000,000 in this act for these activities. The Committee directs USAID, in consultation with the Committee, the Department of State, the Government of Vietnam, and other interested parties, to develop, within 180 days after enactment of this 

act, a comprehensive, multiyear plan for Agent Orange-related activities in Vietnam and urges the administration to include funding 

in future budget requests to support it. USAID is to consult with 

the Committee prior to the obligation of funds. 

West Bank and Gaza.—The Committee continues restrictions in 

current law on assistance for the West Bank and Gaza, and adds 

a new limitation, with waiver authority, if Palestine becomes a 

member or non-member state of the United Nations outside of a 

negotiated agreement with Israel. The Committee clarifies restrictions on Hamas in section 7038(f). The Committee also recognizes 

the importance of security sector assistance and requests to be consulted prior to exercising existing notwithstanding authorities. 

The Committee directs GAO to submit a report assessing (1) the 

ability of the Palestinian Authority to assume responsibility for any 

of the programs and activities conducted by the U.N. Relief and 

Works Agency in the West Bank; (2) actions required by the Palestinian Authority in order to assume such responsibility; and (3) the 

opinion of the Department of State and relevant ministries of the 

Government of Israel, including the Ministry of Defense, on the viability of transitioning such programs and activities from UNRWA 

to the Palestinian Authority. 

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Classification Societies.—The Secretary of State is directed to 

consult with the Committee not later than 90 days after enactment 
48 

of this act on steps taken by the Department of State to address 

the inconsistency in United States policy in which foreign-based 

classification societies act as agents for both the United States Government and the sanctioned Governments of Iran, North Korea, 

North Sudan, and Syria. 

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. 

Counterterrorism in Africa.—The Committee recognizes the destabilizing impact of violent extremism in Africa, and recommends 

$52,800,000 for the Trans Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership 

and $21,300,000 for the Partnership for Regional East Africa 

Counterterrorism programs. In addition, the Committee recommends $10,000,000 for counterterrorism programs in East Africa 

to be managed by USAID. 

Disability Programs.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 

for disability programs, of which $3,000,000 should be made available generally 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; 

$1,000,000 for training and technical assistance to disabled persons 

organizations in developing countries; and up to $1,000,000 to develop, support, and strengthen sports programs for people with disabilities in developing countries. The Committee recommends continuation of the current practice that at least 25 percent of USAID 

mission funds for disabilities programs be disbursed in small 

grants. The Committee supports the continuation of USAID’s accessibility requirements for construction projects. 

Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.—The Committee 

recommends $5,000,000 to support the EITI, including to strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations to participate in the 

EITI process. 

Forensic Assistance.—The Committee recommends $1,000,000 to 

support programs in forensic anthropology in countries of Central 

and South America where armed conflicts resulted in large numbers of human remains that have yet to be exhumed and/or identified, delaying justice and fostering impunity. These funds are to be 

administered by DRL. 

International Labor Rights.—The Committee recommends funding for DRL and USAID to support international labor rights. DRL 

should assist emerging or reforming democratic labor unions and 

labor NGOs to strengthen their operations and promote economic 

reform policies to create employment opportunities in line with 

international labor standards, with a focus on countries experiencing urgent needs such as in North Africa and Yemen, and consider programming over a 2-year time period. USAID should support international labor-related programs which contribute to 

democratic development, good governance, and economic growth. 

Internet Freedom.—The Committee recommends up to 

$25,000,000 for programs to promote Internet freedom by expanding access to information and communication. 

Middle East Partnership Initiative.—The Committee recommends 

$70,000,000 for regional programs traditionally managed by MEPI, 
49 

including to continue scholarships for students from countries with 

significant Muslim populations at not-for-profit educational institutions that meet standards comparable to those required for American accreditation 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 in the Department of State responsible for funding similar 

programs. 

Middle East Regional Cooperation Program.—The Committee 

recommends up to $5,000,000 for continued support for the MERC. 

Reconciliation Programs.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$26,000,000 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 $10,000,000 is for such programs and activities in the Middle East region. Of this amount, 

$16,000,000 is provided under this heading and $10,000,000 is provided under the DA heading. This global program seeks to promote 

understanding, mutual respect, and reconciliation through the active participation, dialogue and problem solving of members of opposing groups. The Committee intends that responsibility for decisions on the uses of such funds be made at the mission level. 

Trafficking in Persons.—The Committee recommends 

$33,236,000 under the DA, ESF and INCLE headings, and an additional $6,764,000 under the D&CP heading, for a total of 

$40,000,000 in this act to combat human trafficking and slavery. 

Of the total funding for O/TIP, not less than $250,000 may be 

used to meet unexpected urgent needs to prevent trafficking in persons or protect victims of trafficking. These funds are intended to 

enhance the capacity of O/TIP to assist victims and support governments facing urgent protection needs, including risk assessment, 

shelter, food and other basic necessities, counseling, medical and 

legal services, travel documentation, safe transport for return and 

reintegration, or for participation in judicial proceedings, and resettlement. Such funds may be considered for use in a country that 

is on tier II or below in the Department of State’s most recent Trafficking in Persons report and when a local or national government 

requests or agrees to such assistance. The Committee directs the 

Secretary of State to report not later than September 30, 2012, on 

the use of these funds. 

Wheelchairs.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for wheelchair programs in developing countries, which should be allocated 

through an 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. 

DEMOCRACY FUND

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. $114,770,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... ........................... 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 114,770,000 

The Committee recommends $114,770,000 for the Democracy 

Fund, of which $70,910,000 is for DRL’s Human Rights and Democ-
50 

racy Fund and $43,860,000 is for USAID’s Office for Democracy 

and Governance. 

ASSISTANCE FOR EUROPE, EURASIA, AND CENTRAL ASIA

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. $695,740,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 626,718,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 626,718,000 

The Committee recommends $626,718,000 for Assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia, to be allocated in amounts consistent with the budget request for each country under this heading. As recommended by the administration, the Committee does 

not retain a provision regarding the use of prior year funds because 

its inclusion in prior acts remains applicable to such prior funding. 

Belarus.—The Committee recommends funding to support democracy efforts in Belarus through civil society organizations, political 

party development, and independent media. 

Nagorno-Karabakh.—The Committee supports humanitarian assistance for victims of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and urges a 

peaceful resolution of the conflict. 

North Caucasus.—The Committee recommends $7,000,000 for 

USAID programs to address immediate and long-term needs of conflict-affected populations in the North Caucasus, and requests to be 

consulted on the proposed uses of funds. 

Roma.—The Committee remains concerned with reports of discrimination and violence against Roma in some European countries. The Committee recommends assistance for organizations 

working to protect Roma. 

Russia.—The Committee recommends $500,000 for continued 

support for USFS wildlife conservation programs in Russia. 

Turkmenistan.—The Committee remains concerned with the continued detention of human rights and political leaders in 

Turkmenistan, members of the Turkmenistan-Helsinki Foundation, 

and political dissidents. The Committee will consider these cases, 

and respect for human rights and the rule of law in Turkmenistan, 

when assessing future assistance to Turkmenistan. 

Ukraine.—The Committee recommends $100,000 for USFS forest 

management programs in Ukraine. 

Uzbekistan.—The Committee is concerned with reports of pervasive corruption in Uzbekistan and therefore expects to be informed 

of public and private entities that receive support, directly or indirectly, from United States Government funds used to pay the costs 

of Northern Distribution Network supply routes through that country. The Committee requires a report that itemizes those costs to 

the extent practicable to ensure that no U.S. funds are being diverted in support of corrupt practices. 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

MIGRATION AND REFUGEE ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. $1,686,620,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 1,613,100,000

Overseas Contingency Operations ................................................ 1 100,000,000 

1Overseas Contingency Operations is funded under title VIII. 
51 

The Committee recommends $1,800,000,000 for Migration and 

Refugee Assistance, including $100,000,000 for OCO costs. 

Iraq.—The Committee is concerned that Iraqis who are being 

threatened or targeted for assassination as a result of having 

worked for the U.S. Government or U.S. contractors are facing long 

delays in obtaining admission to the United States as refugees. The 

Committee recognizes that security concerns require thorough 

screening of these individuals, and expects the administration to 

make every effort to expedite this process and maximize the use of 

Special Immigrant Visa processing while maintaining an effective 

screening process. 

Israel.—The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for refugee resettlement in Israel, to be awarded through an open and competitive process. 

Pakistan.—The Committee understands that, according to the Internally Displaced Persons Vulnerability Assessment and Profiling 

[IVAP] mechanism funded by USAID and supported by the Government of Pakistan and the U.N., nearly 40 percent of families who 

are displaced as a result of the armed conflict are not registered 

to receive humanitarian aid. The Committee understands that this 

is due to flaws in the IDP registration system. The Committee intends that U.S. funding will be used to aid Pakistanis who are 

most in need, and directs the Department of State and USAID to 

ensure that conflict affected IDPs receiving aid are those identified 

by IVAP. 

Tibetan Refugees.—The Committee recommends $2,500,000 for 

assistance for Tibetan refugees in Nepal and India. 

UNITED STATES EMERGENCY REFUGEE AND MIGRATION ASSISTANCE

FUND

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. $49,900,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 32,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. ........................... 

The Committee does not include funding for United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance, which has proved to be 

an inefficient mechanism for responding to refugee emergencies. 

Additional funding to address emergency refugee needs is provided 

under the MRA heading. 

INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

PEACE CORPS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. $374,250,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 439,600,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 375,000,000 

The Committee strongly supports the Peace Corps’ mission and 

recommends $375,000,000 for the Peace Corps, including 

$5,000,000 for the Inspector General. 

The Peace Corps Director is directed to consult with the Committee prior to making any decision to open, close, significantly reduce, or suspend a domestic or overseas office or country program. 
52 

The Committee supports initial steps taken by the Peace Corps 

to respond to its prior mishandling of cases of sexual assault and 

other crimes against volunteers. While the Committee recognizes 

that no overseas service is devoid of risk particularly in countries 

where law enforcement is lax and volunteers serve in remote areas, 

the Committee directs the Peace Corps to take further steps to 

maximize the safety of its volunteers. 

The Committee also directs the Peace Corps to continue to adjust 

its global placement of volunteers to ensure they are located where 

they can most effectively serve U.S. interests consistent with the 

Peace Corps’ mission. 

Opinions and recommendations from volunteers and former volunteers should be solicited through regular surveys on a confidential basis concerning the placement of volunteers, performance of 

Peace Corps employees, and other relevant issues. 

The Committee is concerned with the transparency and accessibility of information relating to Peace Corps activities and performance, and directs the Peace Corps Director to institute a policy to 

ensure that rates of early termination, crime statistics, and information that would otherwise be obtainable under the FOIA, is 

made publicly available in a timely manner on the Peace Corps’ 

Web site. 

The Committee further directs the Peace Corps to adopt procedures to ensure that whistleblowers, whether Peace Corps volunteers or employees, can report alleged misconduct by Peace Corps 

employees or advocate for reforms on a confidential basis and will 

not be subject to retaliation or early termination. 

The Committee is concerned with the capacity of Peace Corps 

volunteers to effectively use and monitor increasing amounts of 

PEPFAR funds, and directs the Peace Corps Director to review this 

issue. 

The Peace Corps Director is directed to report to the Committee 

not later than 90 days after enactment of this act on steps taken 

to implement the directives specified above. 

MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE CORPORATION

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. $898,200,000 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 1,125,100,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 898,200,000 

The Committee recommends $898,200,000 for the Millennium 

Challenge Corporation, including up to $105,000,000 for administrative expenses. 

The Committee supports the MCC’s mission but notes that since 

its creation in January 2004, several compacts have been necessarily suspended or terminated and others have been implemented in countries where corruption is endemic or whose governments engage in practices that are incompatible with U.S. interests 

and values. Several compacts have shown positive results, including, according to the MCC, projected increases in income for more 

than 171 million beneficiaries. The MCC now seeks to enter into 

concurrent and second compacts with several countries at a time 

when its budget is shrinking. The Committee directs the MCC to 
53 

develop a 5-year plan based on realistic budget projections and 

identify those countries which have taken demonstrable steps to 

meet the eligibility criteria for a concurrent or subsequent compact, 

and to submit the plan to the Committee not later than 90 days 

after enactment of this act. The plan should include the benefits to 

U.S. interests based on results achieved in prior compacts. 

The Committee provides authority permitting the MCC to support concurrent and subsequent compacts, subject to conditions, 

and to preserve income classification for certain countries.

COUNTRY ISSUES

Colombia.—The Committee recommends $150,000,000 under this 

heading for assistance for Colombia, including $115,000,000 for 
55 

OCO costs. The Committee remains concerned with the slow pace 

of justice reform in Colombia, the lack of investigative and prosecutorial capacity, and the persistent problem of impunity particularly 

for human rights violations. The Committee directs the Department of State and the Department of Justice to consult with the 

Committee prior to the transfer of funds to the Department of Justice for programs in Colombia. 

The Committee recommends not less than $30,000,000 under 

this heading for rule of law programs, including $7,000,000 for 

USAID human rights activities, and $15,000,000 for the Office of 

the Colombian Attorney General including $7,000,000 for the 

human rights unit. 

Guatemala.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the 

CICIG to continue investigations and prosecutions of illegal armed 

groups, clandestine criminal organizations, and official corruption. 

The Committee does not support assistance for the Government of 

Guatemala unless it is implementing policies that are consistent 

with United States interests and values, and it identifies, for each 

proposed program or activity, achievable and sustainable goals, 

benchmarks for measuring progress, and expected results. 

Honduras.—The Committee is concerned with the escalating conflict between landless peasants and owners of large palm oil plantations in Honduras, including assassinations of peasant leaders 

and other social activists, and reports that private militias have 

been aided and abetted by government security forces. The Committee expects Honduran authorities to investigate these crimes 

and bring those responsible to justice. 

Mexico.—The Committee recommends $220,000,000 under this 

heading for assistance for Mexico, including $185,000,000 for OCO 

costs. The Committee supports an emphasis on strengthening the 

capacity and improving the transparency and accountability of 

state and local law enforcement and judicial authorities who have 

jurisdiction over most violent crimes in Mexico. The Committee directs the Department of State and the Department of Justice to 

consult with the Committee prior to the transfer of funds to the 

Department of Justice for programs in Mexico. The Committee 

notes that its attempts to obtain reliable information from the 

Mexican Ministry of Defense on the status of investigations or 

prosecutions of military personnel for human rights violations have 

been unsuccessful. 

The Committee is concerned that since the start of the Merida 

Initiative more than 36,000 Mexicans have been killed as a result 

of drug and gang-related violence and there has been a spill-over 

of drug related crime into Guatemala and Honduras. With no evidence that the violence is abating or that the flow in drugs to the 

United States from Mexico or guns from the United States to Mexico are being appreciably reduced, the Committee questions whether the current strategy can be sustained.

of State to consult with the Committee on the uses of funds for humanitarian demining and other UXO removal programs. The Com-

mittee recommends not less than $9,000,000 for UXO clearance in 

Laos, where many millions of United States cluster munitions from 

the Vietnam War period continue to kill and injure civilians.

$2,000,000 above the budget request. The Committee understands 

that the MFO will require increases in its operating budget in subsequent fiscal years, and expects the MFO to account for and apply 

funds in a manner such that the principle of equality of contributions to the basic operating budget between the United States, 

Egypt, and Israel shall be maintained.

COUNTRY ISSUES

Egypt.—The Committee includes language requiring the Secretary of State to certify, prior to the initial obligation of funds 

under this heading, that the Governments of the United States and 

Egypt have agreed on the uses of funds and that such funds further the national interests of both countries, and the Government 

of Egypt has held free and fair elections and is implementing policies to protect due process and freedoms of expression and association. The Committee also includes, in section 7039(a)(1), the au-
59 

thority to transfer funds appropriated under the FMF heading to 

ESF for assistance for Egypt. 

Indonesia.—The Committee notes the progress Indonesia has 

made in strengthening democracy, combating extremism, and addressing other challenges, although military reform, particularly 

accountability for past crimes, has lagged behind. The Committee 

recommends $20,000,000 for assistance for Indonesia, which is 

equal to 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 7062(d) of this 

act on— 

—Steps taken by the Government of Indonesia in the previous 12 

months to revise the Code of Military Justice, Uniform Criminal Code and other relevant statutes, to deny promotion, suspend from active service, and/or prosecute and appropriately 

punish military officers credibly alleged to have violated 

human rights, and to refine further the military’s mission and 

develop an appropriate national defense budget to carry out 

that mission; 

—Efforts by the military in the previous 12 months to cooperate 

with civilian judicial authorities to resolve cases of violations 

of human rights; 

—Efforts by the military in the previous 12 months to implement 

reforms that increase the transparency and accountability of 

the military’s 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, 

and respecting due process and freedoms of expression and association in Papua. 

Lebanon.—The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for assistance for Lebanon and recognizes the need for the Lebanese Armed 

Forces to contribute to stability in Southern Lebanon in cooperation with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon. The funds 

are subject to certain conditions. 

Morocco.—The Committee requires that of the funds made available for Morocco under this heading, $1,000,000 be withheld from 

obligation until the Secretary of State submits a report to the Committee detailing steps taken by the Government of Morocco to respect the rights of individuals to peacefully express their opinions 

regarding the status and future of Western Sahara and to provide 

unimpeded access to human rights organizations, journalists and 

others to the Western Sahara. 

Nepal.—The Committee continues restrictions on FMF and PKO 

assistance unless the Secretary of State certifies that the Nepal 

army is meeting certain conditions. The Committee is concerned 

with the ongoing problem of impunity for human rights violations 

and the army’s refusal to cooperate with civilian judicial authorities in prosecuting those responsible for the 2004 murder of Maina 

Sunuwar. 

Philippines.—The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for assistance for the Philippines. Of this amount, $3,000,000 may not be obligated until the Secretary of State reports in writing to the Com-
60 

mittees on Appropriations pursuant to section 7062(g) of this act 

that— 

—The Government of the Philippines is taking effective steps to 

prosecute those responsible for extra-judicial executions, sustain the decline in the number of EJEs, and strengthen government institutions working to eliminate EJEs; 

—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 Philippine military does not have a policy of, and is not 

engaging in, acts of violence or intimidation against members 

of legal organizations who advocate for human rights. 

Sri Lanka.—The Committee remains concerned with the lack of 

a credible, thorough investigation of the assassination of Lasantha 

Wickrematunge.

The Committee recommends $1,000,000,000 for the Pakistan 

Counter-Insurgency Capability Fund. The Committee supports a

issues of international terrorism, nuclear proliferation, regional 

peace and security, poverty and development. 

The Committee is concerned with reports that Pakistani security 

forces have denied access to humanitarian organizations to IDPs 

and other vulnerable populations and detainees, and have committed extra-judicial executions for which those responsible have 

not been brought to justice. The Committee expects section 620M 

of the FAA, as amended by this act, to be applied in Pakistan to 

ensure that United States assistance is not misused and that individuals responsible for abuses are appropriately punished. 

GLOBAL SECURITY CONTINGENCY FUND

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2011 ............................................................................. ........................... 

Budget estimate, 2012 ........................................................................... 1 $50,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 50,000,000 

1The President’s fiscal year 2012 request included funding for this account under enduring 

base operations. 

The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for the Global Security 

Contingency Fund, a new account. 

The Committee recognizes that current accounts and authorities 

structures are not always adequate to respond to threats posed by 

non-state actors. Today’s threats may exist either within a state 

(e.g. Lord’s Resistance Army) or without regard to national borders 

(e.g. Al-Qaeda). Moreover, such threats blur the traditional distinction between the relative roles of the Department of State and Defense, and USAID. The Committee includes language requested by 

the administration authorizing the transfer of funds from DOD accounts, but maintains the historic role of the Secretary of State as 
75 

the chief administration official responsible for foreign policy and 

assistance programs. 

Addressing threats posed by non-state actors also requires an examination of the respective roles of the Departments of State and 

Defense. While DOD may stand ready to engage on and fund activities relating to non-state actors, the Department of State and 

USAID maintain the expertise in many of the types of activities to 

be conducted outside the traditional security operations context. 

The Committee expects the Departments of State and Defense, as 

well as USAID, to work closely in the formulation of funded activities with the final approval of activities funded under this heading 

to be made by the Secretary of State in consultation with the Secretary of Defense. 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

SEC. 8001. This provision provides that the funding made available under title VIII is in addition to funding provided under other 

titles in this act. 

SEC. 8002. This provision states that unless otherwise provided, 

the funding made available under title VIII is available under the

SEC. 8003. This provision lists the accounts to which funds made 

available under title VIII may be transferred subject to notification 

procedures.
