8 CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY

9 SEC. 585. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds as fol10 lows:

11 (1) The United States is the world leader in the

12 development of environmental technologies, particu13 larly clean coal technology.

14 (2) Severe pollution problems affecting people in

15 developing countries, and the serious health problems

16 that result from such pollution, can be effectively ad17 dressed through the application of United States tech18 nology.

19 (3) During the next century, developing coun20 tries, particularly countries in Asia such as China

21 and India, will dramatically increase their consump22 tion of electricity, and low quality coal will be a

23 major source of fuel for power generation.

24 (4) Without the use of modern clean coal tech25 nology, the resultant pollution will cause enormous

26 health and environmental problems leading to dimin-
268

HR 4811 PP

1 ished economic growth in developing countries and,

2 thus, diminished United States exports to those grow3 ing markets.

4 (b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the policy of the

5 United States to promote the export of United States clean

6 coal technology. In furtherance of that policy, the Secretary

7 of State, the Secretary of the Treasury (acting through the

18 MOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSION OF HIV/AIDS IN SUB19 SAHARAN AFRICA

20 SEC. 596. (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that:

21 (1) According to the World Health Organization,

22 in 1999, there were 5,600,000 new cases of HIV/AIDS

23 throughout the world, and two-thirds of those

24 (3,800,000) were in sub-Saharan Africa.
274

HR 4811 PP

1 (2) Sub-Saharan Africa is the only region in the

2 world where a majority of those with HIV/AIDS—55

3 percent—are women.

4 (3) When women get the disease, they often pass

5 it along to their children, and over 2,000,000 children

6 in sub-Saharan Africa are living with HIV/AIDS.

7 (4) New investments and treatments hold out

8 promise of making progress against mother-to-child

9 transmission of HIV/AIDS. For example—

10 (A) a study in Uganda demonstrated that a

11 new drug could prevent almost one-half of the

12 HIV transmissions from mothers to infants, at a

13 fraction of the cost of other treatments; and

14 (B) a study of South Africa’s population es15 timated that if all pregnant women in that

16 country took an antiviral medication during

17 labor, as many as 110,000 new cases of HIV/

18 AIDS could be prevented over the next five years

19 in South Africa alone.

20 (5) The Technical Assistance, Trade Promotion,

21 and Anti-Corruption Act of 2000, as approved by the

22 Senate Foreign Relations Committee on March 23,

23 2000, ensures that not less than 8.3 percent of the

24 United States Agency for International Development’s
275

HR 4811 PP

1 (USAID) HIV/AIDS funding is used to combat moth2 er-to-child transmission.

3 (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen4 ate that of the funds provided in this Act, the USAID should

5 place a high priority on efforts, including providing medi6 cations, to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV/

7 AIDS.

8 REPORTING REQUIREMENT ON SUDAN

1 bans’’), including specific times and dura2 tion of denials from January 1997 through

3 the present;

4 (ii) denial of access by the government

5 of Sudan on an historic basis (‘‘no-go’’

6 areas) since 1989 and the reason for such

7 denials;

8 (iii) exclusion of areas from the origi9 nal agreements which defined the limita10 tions of OLS;

11 (iv) a determination by OLS of a lack

12 of need in an area of no coverage;

13 (v) no request has been made to the

14 government of Sudan for coverage or deliv15 eries to those areas by OLS or any partici16 pating organization within OLS; or

18 from or denial of coverage by OLS;

19 (D) areas of Sudan where the United States

20 has provided assistance outside of OLS since

21 January 1997, and the amount, extent and na22 ture of that assistance;

23 (E) areas affected by the withdrawal of

24 international relief organizations, or their spon25 sors, or both, due to the disagreement over terms
277

HR 4811 PP

1 of the ‘‘Agreement for Coordination of Humani2 tarian, Relief and Rehabilitation Activities in

10 PERU

11 SEC. 598. (a) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense

12 of the Senate that:

13 (1) The Organization of American States (OAS)

14 Electoral Observer Mission, led by Eduardo Stein, de15 serves the recognition and gratitude of the United

16 States for having performed an extraordinary service

17 in promoting representative democracy in the Amer18 icas by working to ensure free and fair elections in

19 Peru and by exposing efforts of the Government of

20 Peru to manipulate the national elections in April

21 and May of 2000 to benefit the president in power.

22 (2) The Government of Peru failed to establish

23 the conditions for free and fair elections—both for the

24 April 9 election as well as for the May 28 run-off—

25 by not taking effective steps to correct the

26 ‘‘insufficiencies, irregularities, inconsistencies, and
278

HR 4811 PP

1 inequities’’ documented by the OAS Electoral Obser2 vation Mission.

3 (3) The United States Government should sup4 port the work of the OAS high-level mission, and that

5 such mission should base its specific recommendations

6 on the views of civil society in Peru regarding com7 mitments by their government to respect human

8 rights, the rule of law, the independence and constitu9 tional role of the judiciary and national congress, and

10 freedom of expression and journalism.

11 (4) In accordance with Public Law 106–186, the

12 United States must review and modify as appropriate

13 its political, economic, and military relations with

14 Peru and work with other democracies in this hemi15 sphere and elsewhere toward a restoration of democ16 racy in Peru.

17 (b) REPORT.—Not later than 30 days after the date

19 submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a report

20 evaluating United States political, economic, and military

21 relations with Peru, in accordance with Public Law 106–

22 186. Such report should review, but not be limited to, the

23 following:

25 assistance to Peru only through independent non-gov-
279

HR 4811 PP

1 ernmental organizations or international organiza2 tions.

3 (2) Scrutiny of all United States anti-narcotics

4 assistance to Peru and the effectiveness of providing

5 such assistance through legitimate civilian agencies

6 and the appropriateness of providing this assistance

7 to any military or intelligence units that are known

8 to have violated human rights, suppressed freedom of

9 expression or undermined free and fair elections.

10 (3) The need to increase support to Peru through

11 independent non-governmental organizations and

12 international organizations to promote the rule of

13 law, separation of powers, political pluralism, and re14 spect for human rights, and to evaluate termination

15 of support for entities that have cooperated with the

16 undemocratic maneuvers of the executive branch.

17 (4) The effectiveness of United States policy of

18 supporting loans or other assistance for Peru through

19 international financial institutions (such as the

20 World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank),

21 and an evaluation of terminating support to entities

22 of the Government of Peru that have willfully violated

23 human rights, suppressed freedom of expression, or

24 undermined free and fair elections.
280

HR 4811 PP

1 (5) The extent to which Peru benefits from the

2 Andean Trade Preferences Act and the ramifications

3 of conditioning participation in that program on re4 spect for the rule of law and representative democ5 racy.

6 (c) DETERMINATION.—Not later than 90 days after the

7 date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall deter8 mine and report to the appropriate committees of Congress

9 whether the Government of Peru has made substantial

10 progress in improving its respect for human rights, the rule

11 of law (including fair trials of civilians), the independence

12 and constitutional role of the judiciary and national con13 gress, and freedom of expression and independent jour14 nalism.

15 (d) PROHIBITION.—If the President determines and re16 ports pursuant to subsection (c) that the Government of

17 Peru has not made substantial progress, no funds appro18 priated by this Act may be made available for assistance

19 for the Government of Peru, and the Secretary of the Treas20 ury shall instruct the United States executive directors to

21 the international financial institutions to use the voice and

22 vote of the United States to oppose loans to the Government

23 of Peru, except loans to support basic human needs.

25 shall not apply to humanitarian assistance, democracy as-
281

HR 4811 PP

6 (f) WAIVER.—The President may waive subsection (d)

7 for periods not to exceed 90 days if he certifies to the appro8 priate committees of Congress that doing so is important

9 to the national security interests of the United States and

11 law in Peru.

13 ‘‘appropriate committees of Congress’’ means the Committee

14 on Appropriations and the Committee on Foreign Relations

24 in this Act regarding the assistance provided to Estonia,

286

HR 4811 PP

1 pressing the sense of the Senate regarding an acceleration

3 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

11 the problem within the refugee population.

3 SUPPORT BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION FOR SERBIA

4 SEC. 599D. (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—

5 (1) General Dragolub Ojdanic, Minister of De6 fense of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia

7 and Montenegro) and an indicted war criminal, vis8 ited Moscow from May 7 through May 12, 2000, as

9 a guest of the Government of the Russian Federation,

10 attended the inauguration of President Vladimir

11 Putin, and held talks with Russian Defense Minister

12 Igor Sergeyev and Army Chief of Staff Anatoly

13 Kvashnin;

14 (2) General Ojdanic was military Chief of Staff

15 of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the

16 Kosova war and has been indicted by the Inter17 national Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugo18 slavia (ICTY) for crimes against humanity and viola19 tions of the laws and customs of war for alleged atroc20 ities against Albanians in Kosova;

21 (3) international warrants have been issued by

22 the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former

23 Yugoslavia for General Ojdanic’s arrest and extra24 dition to The Hague;

25 (4) the Government of the Russian Federation, a

26 permanent member of the United Nations Security
288

HR 4811 PP

1 Council which established the International Criminal

2 Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, has an obliga3 tion to arrest General Ojdanic and extradite him to

4 The Hague;

5 (5) on May 16, 2000, Russian Minister of Eco6 nomics Andrei Shapovalyants announced that his

7 government has provided the Serbian regime of

8 Slobodan Milosevic $102,000,000 of a $150,000,000

9 loan it had reactivated and will sell the Government

10 of Serbia $32,000,000 of oil despite the fact that the

11 international community has imposed economic sanc12 tions against the Government of the Federal Republic

13 of Yugoslavia and the Government of Serbia;

14 (6) the Government of the Russian Federation is

15 providing the Milosevic regime such assistance while

16 it is seeking debt relief from the international commu17 nity and loans from the International Monetary

18 Fund, and while it is receiving corn and grain as

19 food aid from the United States;

20 (7) the hospitality provided to General Ojdanic

21 demonstrates that the Government of the Russian

22 Federation rejects the indictments brought by the

23 International Criminal Tribunal for the Former

24 Yugoslavia against him and other officials, including
289

HR 4811 PP

1 Slobodan Milosevic, for alleged atrocities committed

2 during the Kosova war; and

3 (8) the relationship between the Government of

4 the Russian Federation and the Governments of the

5 Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Serbia only en6 courages the regime of Slobodan Milosevic to foment

7 instability in the Balkans and thereby jeopardizes the

8 safety and security of American military and civilian

9 personnel and raises questions about Russia’s com10 mitment to its responsibilities as a member of the

11 North American Treaty Organization-led peace12 keeping mission in Kosova.

13 (b) ACTIONS.—

14 (1) Fifteen days after the date of enactment of

3 Yugoslavia or any entity under their control any

17 institutions of any financial assistance (includ18 ing any technical assistance or grant) of any

19 kind to the Government of the Russian Federa20 tion except for loans and assistance that serve

21 basic human needs.

22 (ii) In this subparagraph, the term ‘‘inter23 national financial institution’’ includes the

24 International Monetary Fund, the International

25 Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the

1 International Development Association, the

2 International Finance Corporation, the Multilat3 eral Investment Guaranty Agency, and the Euro4 pean Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

11 or the Overseas Private Investment Corporation

12 to Russia.

13 (D) The President may waive the actions

14 described in subparagraphs (2)(A), (2)(B), and

15 (2)(C) if he determines and reports to Congress

16 that it is in the national interest of the United

17 States of America.

18 (3) It is the sense of the Senate that the Presi19 dent of the United States should instruct his rep20 resentatives to negotiations on Russia’s international

21 debt to oppose further forgiveness, restructuring, and

22 rescheduling of that debt, including that being consid23 ered under the ‘‘Comprehensive’’ Paris Club negotia24 tions.
