SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES

In fiscal year 2006, the Congress appropriated $34,310,268,000 

for the State Department and Related Agencies and foreign operations and related programs, including supplemental appropriations. This year, the Committee recommends $31,503,599,000 of 

which $31,339,899,000 is for discretionary spending, and 

$163,700,000 is for mandatory spending. 

Title I of the Committee recommendation contains items funded 

by the House in a different bill, H.R. 5672. The Committee believes 

that it is appropriate to fund these items in this bill, H.R. 5522. 

For ease of comparison, the Committee report sets forth in title I 

a ‘‘House allowance’’ as if these items had been contained in the 

House passed bill. These items were contained in the Science, 

State, Justice, Commerce, and Related Agencies Appropriations 

Act, 2007 (H.R. 5672), as passed the House, but were not considered or contained in the Committee recommendation to the Senate 

on that bill. 

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The Committee reaffirms its belief that a successful national security policy depends upon the integration of all components of 

America’s national power, including diplomacy, intelligence, and 

economic and military might. The successful integration of these 

elements is impossible absent the funds contained in this act for 

security assistance, foreign assistance, economic assistance, humanitarian assistance, and the operation, maintenance, and support of the Nation’s diplomatic corps and programs. 

STATE DEPARTMENT AND USAID PLANNING, PROGRAMMING, AND

BUDGETING

Five years after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against 

the United States, the State Department and USAID lack strategic 

planning processes which ensure that the objectives identified in 
7 

the National Security Strategy [NSS] are pursued through plans 

and programs. Section IX(B) of the NSS summarizes the progress 

the Nation has achieved in transforming key national security institutions; the Committee notes there is no mention of the State 

Department or USAID. The absence of a planning, programming, 

and budgeting system has been identified as a critical weakness by 

the new Director of Foreign Assistance, who concluded that ‘‘ad hoc 

decision making and fragmentation of approach leads to lack of 

strategic impact and poor accountability’’. 

As a first step to address this failure, the Committee directed the 

State Department (in Senate Report 109–96) to improve the budget 

justification materials supporting the fiscal year 2007 request. The 

Committee’s intent was to assist the State Department in establishing a program and planning baseline against which appropriated funds could ultimately be executed and program objectives 

could be measured. Regrettably, the State Department ignored the 

reporting requirement. 

The Committee directs the DFA to provide, not later than September 1, 2006, in classified form if necessary, a report detailing 

the State Department’s plan for implementing and achieving the 

goals set forth in the NSS. The report shall include: a National 

Diplomatic Strategy that sets forth plans for executing each of the 

essential tasks identified in the NSS; a description of specific programs which support the plans identified in the NSS; and, a 3 year 

cost estimate (beginning with fiscal year 2008) for the implementation of the programs described in the report. 

The Committee directs the State Department, in consultation 

with USAID, to report to the Committee not later than September 

15, 2006 on a proposal to improve the justification materials that 

will support the fiscal year 2008 budget request. 

The Committee is aware that the DFA intends to review the fiscal year 2007 budget request and justification materials for 35 

countries, and that changes may occur in country allocations detailed in this act. The Committee supports this review, and expects 

State Department and USAID personnel, particularly those in the 

field, to fully cooperate with this important and necessary endeavor. The Committee requests to be consulted on a regular basis during the review process.

COUNTRY OVERVIEWS 

In its review of the fiscal year 2007 budget request, the Committee identified numerous countries of interest and concern, which 

are discussed below:

The Committee recommends $283,888,000 for assistance for Ethiopia, an amount equal to the budget request. 

The Committee encourages all Ethiopian political parties to 

make serious and sustained efforts to peacefully resolve differences, 

and condemns the use of violence, including the May 2006 bombings in Addis Ababa. The Committee expects the Government of 

Ethiopia to abide by the rule of law, particularly in matters involving the political opposition. 

The Committee recommends $4,100,000 for democracy programs 

in Ethiopia, and requests the State Department and USAID to consult with the Committee on the uses of these funds.

PKO ....................................................................................................... 14,800 14,800 ..........................

Total ........................................................................................ 89,945 92,698 ∂2,753 

The Committee recommends $92,698,000 for assistance for Liberia, an increase of $2,753,000 above the budget request. The Com-
9 

mittee notes that this assistance is in addition to the $50,000,000 

provided to that country in Public Law 109–234, the Emergency 

Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on 

Terror, and Hurricane Recovery, 2006. 

The Committee reiterates its strong support for much needed political, legal, security and social reforms in Liberia, and encourages 

President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf to continue to advance an aggressive reform agenda. The Committee expects the Government of Liberia to make the management of natural resources and anti-corruption programs top priorities. The Committee notes that Liberia 

is one of Africa’s most resource rich countries, which, if managed 

wisely and in a fully transparent manner, could generate much 

needed state revenue. 

In addition to other health and development programs, the Committee expects the State Department and USAID to support sustainable drug treatment and vocational programs for ex-combatants. The Committee believes that should this segment of Liberian 

society be neglected, political, economic, and social development in 

Liberia will be stymied. 

The Committee expects the Government of Liberia, in coordination with the United Nations, the diplomatic community, and international aid agencies to arrest, prosecute, and appropriately punish 

U.N. peacekeeping personnel, aid workers and others allegedly involved in the sexual exploitation of girls and women in Liberia.

The Committee recommends $2,571,000 for assistance for Somalia, an amount equal to the budget request, of which $1,000,000 is 

for basic education programs and $1,571,000 is for democracy and 

human rights programs. 

The Committee is aware of the myriad programmatic challenges 

in Somalia, particularly following Islamic militia control of 

Mogadishu, but is concerned that the State Department is providing insufficient resources to a country of concern in Africa. The 

Committee is willing to consider additional funding to address terrorism and humanitarian concerns in Somalia in future appropriations acts, but only after the State Department articulates and justifies to the Committee a comprehensive, long term strategy (including a spending plan) that furthers U.S. interests in that country.

notes these funds are in addition to the $352,090,000 provided to 

that country and/or the United Nations in Public Law 109–234, the 

Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery, 2006.

The Committee recommends $15,222,000 for assistance for 

Zimbabwe, an amount equal to the budget request. 

The Committee remains concerned with the destructive policies 

of President Robert Mugabe and the impact his mismanagement of 

the country has on the people of Zimbabwe. The Committee believes that absent political change in that country, the Government 

of Zimbabwe will remain a danger to the citizens it purports to represent, and regional neighbors.

The Committee recommends $13,000,000 for assistance for democracy and humanitarian programs in Burma, an increase of 

$6,000,000 above the budget request. 

The Committee calls for the immediate and unconditional release 

of Burmese democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all other 

political prisoners in Burma, and believes that the repressive poli-
11 

cies and actions of the SPDC continue to pose a threat to the people of Burma and countries in the region. The Committee deplores 

the myriad human rights violations and illicit activities of the 

junta, including narcotics manufacturing and trafficking, and the 

continued military offensives against ethnic minorities in which 

rape is used as a weapon of war. The Committee believes that the 

United Nations Security Council should consider a resolution on 

Burma in a timely manner. 

The Committee notes with concern the SPDC’s increasing restrictions on the activities of international organizations providing humanitarian assistance inside Burma. The Committee regrets the 

harm this will cause to the health and welfare of the Burmese people. 

The Committee expects NGOs working in Thailand on Burmese 

refugee issues to be funded at an amount above the fiscal year 

2006 levels. In particular, the Committee recommends not less 

than $5,000,000 be provided to the Burma Border Consortium 

[BBC]. This is in addition to funds provided in Public Law 109– 

234, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, 

the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery, 2006.

The Committee recommends $55,770,000 for assistance for Cambodia, an increase of $1,000,000 above the budget request. 

The Committee recognizes the State Department’s efforts to craft 

a comprehensive U.S. policy toward Cambodia that centers on democracy, rule of law and security. For this reason, the Committee 

does not include restrictions on assistance for the central Government of Cambodia [GoC], but remains keenly aware of the absence 

of the rule of law in that country. The Committee again recommends that the State Department and other international donors hold the GoC accountable to its pledges to implement much 

needed political, legal and economic reforms. 

The Committee believes that Prime Minister Hun Sen bears responsibility for demonstrating the leadership and political will necessary to effectively combat corruption at all levels of Cambodian 

society. The Committee requests the State Department and USAID 

to consult with the Committee prior to the obligation of assistance 

for the central Government of Cambodia for proposed activities not 

included in Section 554(a)(2) of Public Law 109–102, the Foreign 

Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2006. 
12 

The Committee recommends $14,410,000 for democracy and 

human rights programs in the DF account, to include assistance for 

democratic political parties in that country. 

The Committee recognizes and appreciates the GoC’s cooperation 

in counterterrorism matters. The Committee endorses IMET assistance for Cambodia, and recommends $500,000 in the FMF account, 

an amount equal to the request.

The Committee recommends $163,373,000 for assistance for Indonesia, an increase of $8,886,000 above the budget request. 

The Committee recognizes the many shared interests and values 

of the United States and Indonesia, from strengthening democracy 

to countering terrorism, and recognizes the challenges facing that 

country as it continues to implement reforms. The Committee is 

pleased that significant United States assistance was made available to meet the natural disasters that severely impacted Indonesian communities and families. The Committee encourages the 

State Department and USAID to continue to make the advancement of U.S.-Indonesia relations a top priority. 

The Committee believes that the Government of Indonesia 

should redouble efforts to mitigate the threat avian influenza poses 

in that country. Absent the political will to address this issue head 

on, the Committee fears that the impact of this disease could be 

catastrophic.

leadership. The Committee strongly encourages the State Department to accelerate programs and activities that alleviate human 

suffering in that country in a manner that does not benefit the 

North Korean leadership.

robust assistance programs, including those sponsored by the 

United States Government, for the reintegration of former combatants. Should a peace agreement be concluded in a timely manner,

The Committee recommends $1,758,095,000 for assistance for 

Egypt, an amount equal to the budget request. The Committee 

notes that of the amount contained in the ESF request for Egypt, 

$44,572,000 is included under the DA account for basic education 

activities, $22,146,000 is included under the CSHPF for various 

health programs, and $86,455,000 is included under the DF for democracy, governance, and rule of law activities. These amounts are 

identical to those requested by the President, but are contained in 

more appropriate funding accounts. 

Similar to previous fiscal years, the Committee includes certain 

restrictions on assistance for Egypt. Section 547(a)(3) specifies that 

cash transfer assistance is only available for the purpose of supporting Egyptian implementation of significant economic and polit-
19 

ical reforms, in addition to those taken in previous fiscal years, and 

if the Secretary of State determines and reports to the Committee 

that the United States Government and the Government of Egypt 

have entered into a written agreement which establishes benchmarks which demonstrate implementation of significant and additional economic and political reforms, and that all of those benchmarks have been met. Should the benchmarks not be met, the Secretary may reprogram funds, subject to prior consultation with and 

the regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations, and failing a determination by the Secretary by September 30, 2007, such funds will be reprogrammed for other purposes within the ESF account. 

The Committee remains concerned with the lack of political reform in Egypt and the incarceration of secularist politicians, including Ayman Nour. The Committee believes the State Department 

should be far more vocal in publicly condemning human rights 

abuses occurring in Egypt. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report 

to the relevant Committees of Congress no later than 120 days 

after the date of enactment of this act that details the Government 

of Egypt’s harassment of, and discrimination against, Egyptian citizens who have converted religions overseas and returned to Egypt 

as Baha’is, Mormons, Evangelicals, Jews and other minority faiths. 

The Committee notes that Article 42 of Chapter 3 of the Egyptian 

Constitution guarantees freedom of religion. 

The Committee rescinds $300,000,000 from prior year ESF assistance for Egypt, $100,000,000 above that rescinded in the House 

passed bill.

The Committee recognizes opportunities to strengthen democracy and the rule of law in Lebanon, and recommends $15,000,000 

under the DF for programs and activities for these purposes. The 

Committee encourages the State Department to develop a comprehensive strategy for the advancement of democracy and security 

in Lebanon, which, if properly implemented, could serve to blunt 

Syrian influence in that country. The Committee directs the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, to

The Committee recommends $1,123,925,000 for assistance for Afghanistan, an amount equal to the budget request. 

The Committee commends the people of Afghanistan for continued support for political and economic reforms, but remains concerned with the growth and production of illicit narcotics. The 

Committee supports USAID’s Alternative Livelihoods program as a 

means to combat poppy production and improve the lives and security of rural Afghans. 

The Committee provides continued funding for assistance for Afghan civilians who have suffered losses as a result of the military 

operations against the Taliban and insurgents. 

The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for agriculture and 

rural development programs to be administered over a period of 3 

years through a national consortium of agriculture colleges and 

land-grant universities. These funds are in addition to the 

$5,000,000 provided for such purposes in Public Law 109–234, the 

Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery, 2006. 

The Committee is aware of the interests of the American University in Beirut to develop primary and secondary curricula, including textbooks, for schools in Afghanistan. The Committee recognizes that USAID has supported such efforts in the past, and requests USAID to consider such a program, if feasible. 

The Committee appreciates the pressing health needs of the people of Afghanistan, and is aware of a proposal by the Afghan Medical Relief Foundation to improve access and care of diabetics. The 

Committee directs USAID, in consultation with the Ministry of 

Health in Afghanistan and other relevant organizations, to report 

to the Committee no later than 90 days after enactment of this act 

on the most pressing health needs of the Afghan people, including 

prioritization of diseases. The Committee requests USAID to consider a proposal from the Foundation within the context of Afghanistan’s health needs as identified in this report.

programs. 

The Committee continues to recognize Pakistan as a key and essential ally in the war on terrorism, and recognizes the many sacrifices of Pakistani security forces in this endeavor. The Committee 

appreciates the myriad challenges facing the Government of Pakistan as it implements reform plans and programs, but remains 

gravely concerned with violations of human rights in that country. 

The Committee addresses specific concerns with democracy programs in Pakistan under the DF account.

Narcotics Police Force (FELCN), UMOPAR, and the Bolivian Army 

to eradicate and interdict cocaine. Due to this record of strong cooperation the Committee recommends $64,000,000 for Bolivia 

under the ACI account. The Committee directs the State Department to provide a report, not later than October 15, 2006 describ-

and Hurricane Recovery, 2006. 

The Committee remains concerned with the pressing needs of the 

people of Haiti, from the most basic of services to development aid. 

The Committee believes that the administration of President 

Preval must make establishment of the rule of law, including efforts to combat corruption and narcotics trafficking, a top priority. 

The Committee continues limitations on assistance to the notoriously corrupt Haitian National Police. 

As in previous years, the Committee continues authority permitting the Government of Haiti to purchase defense article and services for the Coast Guard.

Asia Programs.—The Committee reiterates its support for exchange programs and activities targeted toward Asia, in particular 

the PRC, but remains concerned that the State Department’s focus 

on this region remains uneven. Therefore, the Committee directs 

the DFA, in consultation with relevant Bureaus within the State 

Department, to submit a report to the Committee no later than 180 
28 

days after the date of enactment of this act on a comprehensive, 

multi-year strategy for the State Department’s educational and cultural exchange programs in Asia that support U.S. national security interests in the region (including identifying those interests), 

a description of additional authorities required, if any, to implement more robust programs, and a proposed spending plan that 

spans fiscal years 2008 to 2011. In preparing this report, the DFA 

should consult with outside groups and organizations with ongoing 

activities in the region and those that implement American studies 

programs. 

Historically Funded Exchanges.—The Committee recommends 

$500,000 for the George Mitchell Fellowship Program and $500,000 

for the Center for Hemispheric Policy. 

National Security Language Initiative.—The Committee supports 

the NSLI, particularly the State Department’s effort to expand 

international exchange programs to people who would not traditionally study abroad and to a greater diversity of U.S. educational 

institutions. The Committee encourages the State Department to 

utilize exchange programs to support foreign language teachers, especially with U.S. public secondary schools with programs of international studies and foreign languages. The Committee supports 

summer, semester, and yearlong programs to students to reach a 

greater number of participants within available resources. 

Other International Exchanges.—In addition to academic and cultural exchanges requested by the President or historically funded 

by Congress, for which funding levels are specified in the accompanying chart, the Committee recommends a total of $6,000,000 to 

support, on a one-time basis only, other international exchanges 

that address issues of mutual interest and concern between the 

United States and the country of exchange. Proposals are to be 

submitted to the State Department for consideration within 90 

days after the date of enactment of this act. The State Department 

shall consider and award up to $300,000 for each proposal that 

meets appropriate guidelines and qualifications established by the 

State Department after consultation with the Committee. 

The following academic exchange programs shall be eligible for 

consideration: 

—Educational Initiative for Central Eastern Europe.—A proposal 

for democracy, ethics, and freedom education programs.

—Saint Michael’s College Latin American Exchange.—A proposal 

to promote educational development in Latin America and 

strengthen cultural understanding in the Americas. 

—South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.—A proposal to 

expand science, technology and engineering academic exchange 

with India, Serbia and Mongolia. 

—Spelman College.—A proposal for student and faculty exchanges in China. 

—University of Iowa.—Two proposals regarding educational exchanges with universities in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, and with Timor-Leste. 
29 

—Virginia Military Institute.—A proposal for an international 

student exchange program targeted toward the Middle East 

and North Africa.

for educational exchange associated with the 400th Anniversary of the Jamestown Colony. 

—Morehouse College.—A proposal for exchange with emerging 

leaders in South Africa.

poverty and poor nutrition in rural Vietnam. 

—University of Vermont.—A proposal to expand foreign language 

teacher training for teachers of Chinese and Mandarin to precollege students. 

—World Scholar-Athlete Games.—A proposal to support the 

World Scholar-Athlete Games. 

The Committee requests the State Department to submit a report to the Committee 180 days after enactment of this act detailing the proposals received and their disposition. 

PLUS.—The Committee is aware that the State Department is 

reformulating this undergraduate exchange program and requests 

to be consulted on future plans for such activities.

The Committee recommends $8,175,000 for Representation Allowances, an amount equal to the fiscal year 2006 level and 

$26,000 below the request. 

Representation allowances provide reimbursement to Foreign 

Service officers for expenditures incurred in their official capacities 

abroad in establishing and maintaining relations with officials of 

foreign governments and appropriate members of local communities. 
30 

PROTECTION OF FOREIGN MISSIONS AND OFFICIALS

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $9,270,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 9,288,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 9,270,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 9,270,000 

The Committee recommends $9,270,000 for the Protection of Foreign Missions and Officials, an amount that is $18,000 below the 

budget request. 

This account reimburses 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 recommends that in instances where a local jurisdiction will realize a financial benefit from a visit from a foreign 

dignitary, such circumstances should be taken into account by the 

State Department in assessing the need for reimbursement under 

this program. The Committee expects the State Department to 

treat such submissions diligently and provide reimbursement to 

local jurisdictions on a timely basis if claims are fully justified. 

EMBASSY SECURITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $1,489,726,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 1,539,529,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 1,505,020,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,388,820,000 

The Committee recommends $1,388,820,000 for Embassy Security, Construction and Maintenance, $150,709,000 below the budget 

estimate. 

This account allows the State Department to manage the United 

States Government’s real property assets overseas in order to provide diplomatic and consular missions with secure, safe, and functional facilities. 

Senate Report 109–96 directed the State Department to report 

for each fiscal quarter: the date planned for each construction contract to be awarded during the current year and budget year; actual costs for each contract award; the cost of each embassy construction project identified in the budget request; a comparison to 

the Long Range Overseas Building Plan; and any contract savings 

or overrun realized at contract signing or during execution. In addition to this report, the State Department shall notify the Committee by letter for each embassy construction contract awarded. 

This notification shall include the estimated contract award contained in the budget estimate, and the actual award fee. 

The request sought funding for 10 capital projects. The Committee recommendation includes funding for nine projects, and 

notes that the State Department reports more than $960,000,000 

in unobligated balances in this account. Combined with contract 

savings, profits from asset management, and the growing cash balances carried over due to Capital Security Cost Sharing, funds 

available for this account during the current fiscal year exceed 

$2,500,000,000. 

The following table details the adjustments recommended by the

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 125,000,000 

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $125,000,000 for 

this account, which is equal to the budget request. 

This appropriation is authorized by Public Law 96–465, the Foreign Service Act of 1980, which provides for an appropriation to the 

fund in 30 equal annual installments of the amount required for 

the unfunded liability created by new benefits, new groups of beneficiaries, or increased salaries on which benefits are computed. 

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND CONFERENCES

CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $1,151,318,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 1,268,523,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 1,122,318,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,151,318,000 

The Committee recommends $1,151,318,000 for Contributions to 

International Organizations, a decrease of $117,205,000 below the 

budget request, and equal to the level of funding provided for fiscal 

year 2006. 

The Committee notes that the budget request seeks an increase of $117,205,000 above the enacted level. This requested increase of 

more than 10 percent comes at a time when the United Nations 

has proved unable to adopt the majority of management reforms 

recommended by the Secretary General, or to agree on an operating budget for the current year. The Committee recognizes that 

the failure of the General Assembly to pass management reform, 

combined with the misconduct of U.N. peacekeeping forces in the 

DROC, procurement scandals, and misconduct related to the Oilfor-Food program, threaten to undermine public support for the 

United Nations. This support is further weakened by the refusal of 

the Security Council to respond adequately to three critical issues: 

Iran’s uranium enrichment program, urgent humanitarian and 

peacekeeping needs in Darfur, Sudan, and the regional threat 

posed by the illegitimate regime in Burma. Continued support for 

the United Nations will depend on the institution’s ability to effectively address these—and other—global and regional threats. 

Notwithstanding the shortcomings of the Security Council, the 

Committee has sought to further the Nation’s humanitarian interests in Darfur and the security challenge posed by Iran though 

other programs and means. 

Within the recommended level of funding, the Committee directs 

that not less than $83,192,000 shall be available for the IAEA. The 

IAEA, through its attempts to implement the NPT safeguards 

agreement, has focused the world on Iran’s uranium enrichment 

program. The Security Council has failed to agree to any credible 

political or economic sanctions in the face of the threat posed by 

Iran. The Committee recommends voluntary contributions to the 

IAEA under the NADR account. 
33 

Within the recommended level of funding, the Committee directs 

that not less than $62,332,000 shall be available for NATO. The 

NATO alliance provides critical staff planning and logistics support 

to the African Union Mission in Sudan [AMIS]. Although the Security Council has yet to approve a U.N. peacekeeping mission in 

Darfur, the Congress funded support for AMIS through the Peacekeeping Operations account in Public Law 109–234 and prior acts. 

The Committee recognizes the important contributions made by 

NATO to security and stability operations in Afghanistan. 

Although the Committee recommends funding to alleviate the 

suffering of Burmese refugees through foreign assistance programs, 

the threat posed by the SPDC to the people of Burma and the 

countries in the region is suited for urgent consideration by the 

United Nations. The junta’s policies and actions—whether through 

the conduct of military operations against ethnic minorities, narcotics manufacturing and trafficking, and the outright oppression of 

democratic parties—merit immediate consideration by the Security 

Council. 

As the United Nations reconsiders the current scale of assessments, the Committee recommends to the State Department that 

the current rate of assessment should not be increased, and that 

the United Nations consider economic factors such as purchasing 

power parity and foreign currency exchange rates. 

The budget justification materials provided to the Committee in 

support of funding for 45 international organizations and affiliated 

agencies were devoid of program and budget information. From the 

justification materials provided, it is unclear to the Committee 

what benefit is derived from membership in some of these organizations. 

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES

Emergency supplemental (Public Law 109–234) ................................ 129,800,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 1,135,327,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 1,135,327,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,135,327,000 

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,135,327,000, 

an amount equal to the budget request for Contributions for International Peacekeeping Activities. 

United Nations peacekeeping missions are of great value in those 

cases when the deployment of forces: serves as a suitable substitute 

to ease the personnel and operations tempo of U.S. forces; furthers 

the goals of the global war on terror; furthers the goals of U.S. regional commanders and the national security strategy; and, promotes peace and stability in contested regions. The approval of additional peacekeeping missions nevertheless comes at a significant 

cost. The request of $1,135,327,000 represents an increase of more 

than 10 percent above the level provided in Public Law 109–108, 

the Science, State, Justice, Commerce, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006. In addition, the Committee recommends 

funding for other peacekeeping activities through the PKO account. 

The accompanying bill retains language that requires 15-day advance notice of any new or expanded mission. The Committee urges 
34 

the Secretary of State to consider any additional missions with 

great scrutiny. 

The following table details the program recommended by the 

Committee:

The Committee directs that the recommended level of funding 

shall be allocated for fiscal year 2007 as assessed for the missions 

in the table above. The State Department shall account for these 

funds by detailing funds available by fiscal year, assessed costs for 

each mission by fiscal year, and any changes to the recommended 

level of funding. The Committee notes that not less than 

$31,700,000 was provided for the U.N. peacekeeping mission in 

southern Sudan, and $98,000,000 was provided for a U.N. mission 

in Darfur in Public Law 109–234, the Emergency Supplemental 

Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and 

Hurricane Recovery, 2006. Although the United Nations has not 

deployed a peacekeeping force in Darfur, the Committee recommends funds for the eventual assessed costs of such a mission 

within the total for the U.N. mission in Sudan. 

The budget request did not seek funding for the continued presence of a U.N. peacekeeping operation in Cyprus (UNFICYP) during fiscal year 2007. The Committee understands that the need for 

this mission will continue, and directs the State Department to 

meet assessed costs within the recommended level of funding.

Christian Blind Missions International USA.—The Committee 

recommends USAID consider and fund a proposal from CBMI–USA 

to address physical disabilities in the Great Lakes region of Africa. 

Facial Deformities in Children.—The Committee recognizes the 

work of Operation Smile and recommends $2,000,000 for its medical and educational activities in developing countries. The Committee supports the expansion of Operation Smile’s activities in 

countries with significant Muslim populations. 

GAVI Fund.—The Committee recommends $70,000,000 for a contribution to the GAVI Fund, an increase of $34,882,000 above the 

budget request. 

Iodine Deficiency Disorders.—The Committee recommends at 

least $2,500,000 for the Kiwanis/UNICEF IDD partnership program. 

Partners in Health/Zanmi Lasante.—The Committee recommends $2,000,000 for the programs and activities of Zamni 

Lasante to improve child and maternal health in the Central Plateau of Haiti. 

Polio.—The Committee recommends $32,000,000 for programs to 

eradicate polio, and notes that according to the WHO only four 

countries remain polio-endemic: Nigeria, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. 

Project C.U.R.E.—The Committee is aware that Project C.U.R.E., 

a non-profit humanitarian relief organization, has redistributed 

tons of overstock and surplus medical supplies and equipment to 

hospitals and clinics in over 100 developing countries. The Committee endorses this cost-effective way of providing much needed 

medical and supplies to hospitals and clinics overseas, and recommends up to $2,000,000 for such purposes. The Committee believes that this is an example of the participatory activity USAID 

should encourage, and which is discussed further under the DA account. 

Vitamin A and Other Micronutrients.—The Committee recommends at least $30,000,000 for USAID’s micronutrient program, 

of which at least $20,000,000 should be for programs related to Vitamin A deficiency. 

FAMILY PLANNING/REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

The Committee recommends $465,268,000 for family planning 

and reproductive health programs. The Committee consolidates 

funds requested for these purposes in the CSHPF ($294,000,000), 

ESF ($38,050,000), SEED ($531,000) and FSA ($9,687,000) accounts under the CSHPF. Funds are allocated in the following

1 Global Health activities support key components of effective family planning programs through service delivery, training, performance im- provement, contraceptive supply and logistics, health communication, biomedical and social research, policy analysis and planning, and monitoring and evaluation. 

The Committee has not included the language contained in previous acts regarding abortion and involuntary sterilization (section 

518). The prohibitions contained in that section are identical to 

those contained in permanent law, section 104(f) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. Therefore, the Committee feels that it is unnecessary to repeat them. The Committee has renamed section 518 

as ‘‘Voluntary Family Planning Programs’’ and includes in this new 

section language requiring that family planning programs be voluntary. This language, except for formatting changes, is identical 

to language currently found under the CSHPF and consists primarily of a provision commonly referred to as the Tiahrt Amendment. It is the Committee’s intent that in all respects the change 

in format represents no change in the substance or scope of current 

law. Subsection (f) of new section 518 makes the provisions of that 

section applicable to foreign operations funds appropriated for fiscal year 2007 and for any subsequent fiscal year. 

Fistula Repair.—The Committee supports efforts to prevent and 

repair the physically and socially debilitating condition of fistula, 

and recommends $10,000,000 be made available to increase access 

to skilled birth attendants, train health personnel, and reduce the 

incidence of child marriage and gender based violence. 

HIV/AIDS

The Committee recommends $3,437,870,000 for programs and activities to combat HIV/AIDS. The Committee consolidates funds requested for this purpose in the CSHPF ($425,000,000), ESF 
49 

($4,163,000), SEED ($492,000), FSA ($14,215,000) and GHI 

($2,894,000,000) accounts under the CSHPF. Funds are allocated

Total ........................................................................................ 3,337,870 3,437,870 ∂100,000 

Cambodian Children.—The Committee recommends USAID consider and fund a proposal from PUAA The Foundation for Cambodia, in conjunction with the Khmer HIV/AIDS NGO Alliance, for 

a program to reduce the stigma and discrimination of Cambodian 

children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, to facilitate access to 

treatment for these children, and to provide social and socio-economic support to these children and their families. 

Food and Nutrition.—The Committee is aware that the provision 

of food and nutrition support is an important means of improving 

adherence to HIV/AIDS treatment regimes and reducing mortality. 

The Committee urges the Global HIV/AIDS Coordinator, in consultation with the DFA and other groups and agencies responsible 

for food aid and nutrition, to more fully coordinate and integrate 

nutrition interventions within HIV/AIDS treatment and care programs. 

The Global AIDS Coordinator, in consultation with the DFA, 

should report to the Committee no later than 180 days after the 

date of the enactment of this act on the following regarding 

PEPFAR focus countries: (1) the level of funding within the Emergency Plan for fiscal year 2006 that was spent on food and nutritional support for people living with HIV/AIDS; and, (2) the steps 

the Global AIDS Coordinator has taken to address the challenges 

identified in the ‘‘Report on Food and Nutrition for People Living 

with HIV/AIDS’’, May 2006. 

Global Fund.—The Committee recommends $600,000,000 for a 

U.S. contribution to the Global Fund. Of this amount, $300,000,000 

is to be derived from within funds requested for HIV/AIDS. 

The Committee urges the Governments of Saudi Arabia, the 

PRC, and Kuwait to significantly increase their respective contributions to the Global Fund. 

Media Programs.—The Committee reiterates its support for 

USAID’s media programs to combat HIV/AIDS, and recommends 

expansion of the program to other countries in Africa. 

Microbicides.—The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for research on and development of microbicides as a means of combating HIV/AIDS, of which up to $5,000,000 is for the International 

Partnership for Microbicides. 

Mother-to-Child Transmission.—The Committee continues to 

strongly support programs that prevent mother-to-child transmission [PMTCT] of HIV. The Committee believes that additional 

resources are required to expand access to these programs, including care and treatment. The Committee directs the Global HIV/ 

AIDS Coordinator to provide the resources and technical assistance 

necessary to expand access to PMTCT services, including effective 

drug regimes, and to encourage stronger linkages between PMTCT 

and care and treatment programs. 

Orphans.—The Committee notes that section 403(b) of title IV of 

Public Law 108–25, the United States Leadership Against HIV/ 
52 

AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003, mandates not less 

than 10 percent of HIV/AIDS assistance for orphans and vulnerable 

children affected by HIV/AIDS. The Committee directs the Global 

HIV/AIDS Coordinator to ensure that this level of assistance is 

made available. 

Osmosis Technology.—The Committee recognizes the importance 

of potable water to individuals impacted by HIV/AIDS, and encourages USAID and the State Department to consider funding for a 

demonstration project utilizing forward osmosis technology to provide low cost, potable water to individuals participating in ARV regimes and for infant formula to infants of HIV-infected mothers. 

Pediatric AIDS Corps.—The Committee recommends the Global 

HIV/AIDS Coordinator give full consideration to a proposal by the 

Pediatric AIDS Corps to continue ongoing efforts to treat pediatric 

AIDS patients and build local capacity for pediatric and family 

HIV/AIDS specialty care and treatment. 

Pediatric Treatment.—The Committee remains concerned that 

children may not have adequate access to HIV/AIDS treatment programs, and recommends the Global HIV/AIDS Coordinator consider 

increased HIV/AIDS funding for the treatment of infants and children. The Committee directs the Global HIV/AIDS Coordinator to 

report to the Committee no later than 120 days after the date of 

enactment of this act on: the number of infants and children currently targeted for treatment as a percentage of total HIV/AIDS 

funds in PEPFAR focus countries; the feasibility of establishing a 

treatment ratio for infants and children; and, existing reporting 

mechanisms that identify pediatric populations in PEPFAR focus 

countries, including recommendations for improving these mechanisms. 

Safe Blood for Africa.—The Committee continues to support Safe 

Blood for Africa, which assists African nations through training 

and technical assistance to develop systems to ensure that blood 

supplies are screened for HIV/AIDS and other diseases. 

Stay Alive Program.—The Committee reiterates its support for 

the Stay Alive Program of United Families International and encourages USAID and the State Department to provide funding for 

this program, especially for programs in Africa. 

Targeted Evaluation.—The Committee believes that targeted 

evaluation is essential to maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS programs and activities, including through evaluation of best practices, and programmatic innovation and implementation. The Committee directs the Global HIV/AIDS Coordinator to submit a report to the Committee no later than 120 days 

after the date of enactment of this act outlining the approach toward targeted evaluation, including an outline of the resources provided for such purposes from fiscal years 2004 to 2006, and the 

amount proposed for fiscal year 2007. 

Voice for Humanity.—The Committee recognizes the successful 

programs conducted by VFH and recommends continued support of 

programs, as appropriate. 

NEGLECTED DISEASES

The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for programs and activities to continue and expand support for an integrated response 
53 

to the control of neglected diseases, including intestinal parasites, 

schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, trachoma, and 

leprosy. The Committee requests to be consulted on the uses of 

these funds, including country-specific allocations. 

OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASES

The Committee recommends a total of $367,284,000 for infectious 

diseases other than HIV/AIDS, an amount $30,000,000 below the 

budget request. The Committee consolidates funds contained in the 

budget request for these purposes, with modifications, in the 

CSHPF ($382,000,000), ESF ($3,247,000), SEED ($343,000) and 

FSA ($11,694,000) accounts under the CSHPF. Funds are allocated 

in the following table:

Antimicrobial Resistance.—The Committee recommends 

$27,139,000 for antimicrobial resistance programs, an amount 

equal to the budget request. 

Avian Influenza Virus.—The Committee recommends 

$25,000,000 for programs and activities to prevent and control the 

spread of the Avian influenza virus, an amount $30,000,000 below 

the budget request. The Committee notes that an additional 

$30,000,000 for these purposes was included in Public Law 109– 

234, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, 

the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery Act, 2006. The 

Committee understands the need for programmatic flexibility, and 

requests USAID to consult on the uses of these funds prior the initial obligation and expenditure of funds. 

Malaria.—The Committee recommends $223,200,000 for programs to combat malaria, an amount equal to the budget request. 

The Committee directs that these funds should be made available 

in accordance with country strategic plans incorporating best public 

health practices including insecticide-treated bed nets, artemisinin 

combination therapies, and indoor residual spraying, and with significant support for purchase of commodities and equipment. 

The Committee recommends up to $4,000,000 for the Malaria 

Vaccine Initiative and up to $4,000,000 for the Medicines for Malaria Venture, and requests to be consulted prior to the obligation 

of these funds. 

The Committee strongly supports the Presidential Malaria Initiative [PMI], and anticipates that the budget request for the PMI for 

fiscal years 2008 and 2009 will total $300,000,000, respectively, 

and $500,000,000 in fiscal year 2010. The Committee expects the 

budget request for non-focus countries to combat malaria will total 

$90,000,000 for each of the 3 subsequent fiscal years. 

TB.—The Committee recommends $91,945,000 for programs to 

combat tuberculosis, an amount equal to the budget request. 

VULNERABLE CHILDREN

The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for programs and activities that address the needs of vulnerable children, an increase 

of $21,000,000 above the budget request, of which not less than 

$1,500,000 is for programs in Afghanistan and not less than 

$3,200,000 is for programs in Sudan. 

Blindness.—The Committee recognizes the work of Helen Keller 

International and other organizations to assist blind children and 

children with low levels of vision. The Committee recommends at 

least $1,900,000 for children’s blindness programs. 

To the maximum extent practicable, the Committee intends 

funding for blind children to be focused on eye surgery and vision 

corrections for children, and is to be implemented in a manner that 

provides the most funds to the field.

PROGRAM ISSUES

AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

The Committee recommends at least $275,000,000 for agriculture 

development programs and activities. 

ACCESO.—The Committee supports funding for the promotion of 

sustainable cacao production in Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Bo-
61 

livia and believes such programs should be conducted in accordance 

with best economic and environmental practices. The Committee 

supports the work of the Andean Countries Cocoa Export Support 

Opportunity, a partnership between private industry, governments 

and international organizations to encourage the sustainable development in cacao-producing areas as an alternative to coca cultivation. 

Dairy Development Programs.—The Committee continues its support for dairy development programs. 

Food Aid Quality.—The Committee remains concerned with reports that food aid distribution overseas has been disrupted, suspended and in some instances rejected due to quality concerns, and 

that these issues are damaging the reputation and humanitarian 

goals of the U.S. food aid program. The Committee supports efforts 

by USAID and other agencies to investigate these concerns. The 

Committee also recognizes that resolving these problems involve 

complex technical issues, and therefore directs that USAID consider and fund a proposal of the nonprofit organization that conducted the 2001 Micronutrient Compliance Review to support activities underway with the Food Aid Quality Enhancement Program to improve food aid product quality and nutrient delivery, 

consistent with the authority in 7 U.S.C. section 1736g–2(a)(2)(c). 

International Arid Lands Consortium.—The Committee recommends USAID to support the work of the International Arid 

Lands Consortium in addressing water, agriculture, and energy 

issues in the Middle East and Central Asia. 

International Fertilizer Development Center.—The Committee 

recommends $4,000,000 for the IFDC, of which $2,300,000 is for 

core support and $1,700,000 is for research and development activities. 

AMERICAN SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS ABROAD

The Committee continues to recognize the important contributions made to U.S. foreign policy by institutions funded by the 

ASHA program and provides that not less than $20,000,000 shall 

be made available to support these institutions in fiscal year 2007. 

The Committee, once again, expects USAID to allocate sufficient 

sums to administer the ASHA program from funds provided for Operating Expenses, so it will not be necessary to expend any program funds for administrative purposes. 

Although the Committee understands that ASHA funds are 

available for a variety of purposes, such as construction and equipment, libraries, computer technology, curriculum and staff support, 

and related expenses, the Committee reaffirms its intention that 

this assistance is not for permanent budget support to ASHA recipients. The Committee encourages ASHA to give priority to institutions which demonstrate a need and a commitment to private 

fundraising to match government support. 

The Committee continues to be impressed with the contributions 

to United States interests made by several institutions and believes 

that they warrant consideration for further ASHA support, including: Lebanese American University, International College; The 

Johns Hopkins University’s Centers in Nanjing, China and Bologna, Italy; the Cancer Center of the American British Cowdray 
62 

Medical Center in Mexico; the Hadassah Medical Organization; 

EARTH University’s Center for Sustainability and Biodiversity in 

Costa Rica; the American University of Beirut; American University in Kosovo; the Feinberg Graduate School of the Weizmann Institute of Science. 

BASIC EDUCATION

The Committee recommends $455,651,000 for basic education 

programs, including civic education and teacher training, an 

amount equal to the budget request. The Committee consolidates 

funds contained in the budget request for this purpose in the DA 

($257,403,000), ESF ($191,304,000), SEED ($5,456,000), FSA 

($1,408,000) and ACI ($250,000) accounts under DA.

Africa/School Fees.—The Committee recommends that up to 

$15,000,000 be made available for programs that increase access to 

basic education in sub-Saharan Africa through the reduction or 

elimination of school fees. 

Consultation.—The Committee directs USAID to consult with the 

Committee no later than 90 days after enactment of this act on 

proposed changes, if any, to basic education assistance for Malawi, 

DROC, Ghana, Senegal, Zambia and Honduras. 

Girls’ Empowerment.—The Committee requests the DFA to develop a multi-year strategy on girls’ empowerment through consultations with the Congress, other relevant Federal agencies, multilateral organizations such as UNICEF, and representatives of 

civil society. 

The Committee requests the DFA to submit a report to the Committee no later than April 30, 2007 that includes: (1) an assessment, including data disaggregated by gender where possible, of 

the current U.S.-funded efforts to improve access of girls in developing countries to healthcare, education and training, and protection (including from child marriage, human trafficking, gender- 
64 

based violence, HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases); (2) examples of best practices or programs that could be replicated; and (3) a multi-year strategy to address the unique needs, 

vulnerabilities, and potential of girls in developing countries. 

CONFLICT MITIGATION AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE

The Committee recommends at least $50,000,000 for conflict 

mitigation and humanitarian assistance programs and activities. 

Children in Need.—The Committee continues to support the 

work of Bellefaire Children’s Bureau [JCB] and recommends funding for its Los Ninos Project, which will assist in transitioning 

older youth in Latin American countries who grow up in orphanages into independent living arrangements by teaching them marketable skills. 

The Committee recommends USAID to continue support for the 

programs of the Fabretto Children’s Foundation in Nicaragua. 

Patrick Leahy War Victims Fund.—The Committee continues to 

strongly support the LWVF, which supports programs to assist persons who are disabled as a result of armed conflict. The Committee 

provides not less than $15,000,000 for this Fund. 

Public and Small Business Participation.—The Committee is 

aware of many private American individuals and groups who want 

to donate assistance to needy people overseas. USAID has a long 

history of partnering with the U.S. private sector, most recently 

formalized as the Global Development Alliance, to leverage assistance to meet development objectives. 

In the context of natural or manmade disasters, the generosity 

of the American public has been expressed in cash and in-kind donations, often provided through private relief agencies, to the victims of those disasters. The Committee believes there is an increasing desire on the part of the American public, either individually 

or through community, faith-based, or other local groups, to provide 

assistance. However, shipping items overseas, such as clothing and 

shelter that are suitable for affected populations, can be difficult to 

arrange and prohibitively expensive. These individuals and groups 

are not looking to the U.S. Government to provide financing for 

their donations. Instead, they want help in getting their donations 

to people in need. The U.S. small business community is also concerned that USAID is increasingly using large contractors and contracting mechanisms to provide foreign assistance, making it difficult or impossible for small business to compete. 

The Committee believes USAID should harness the interest of 

these groups and individuals in furtherance of foreign assistance 

objectives. In testimony before the Committee on June 8, 2006, the 

USAID Administrator expressed support for the concept of a ‘‘clearinghouse’’ to link private U.S. organizations with counterparts in 

developing countries. Similarly, the Administrator noted that as 

the Global AIDS Coordinator, he established a special fund to allow 

small business to participate in programs to combat HIV/AIDS. 

The Committee requests the USAID Administrator to submit a 

report, within 180 days from the date of enactment of the act, that 

addresses ways in which USAID can facilitate the participation of 

private citizens, community groups, and small business in the foreign assistance program. The report should address, in particular, 
65 

the concept of establishing a clearinghouse for private contributions 

and a separate fund for U.S. small business, and should identify 

U.S. Government mechanisms and programs, as well as recommendations, for assisting in the delivery of such privately donated relief aid. The report should also include legislative changes 

that might be needed. 

Sports Programs.—The Committee is aware that sports programs, including those that benefit persons with disabilities, enhance health and development and strengthen communities. The 

Committee notes that many organizations are involved in these efforts, including Right to Play, Playing for Peace, and Special Olympics. The Committee recommends a total of up to $8,000,000 for 

these programs. 

Victims of Torture.—The Committee recommends $13,000,000 for 

programs and activities that address the needs of victims of torture, an increase of $4,231,000 above the budget request. Of this 

amount, $8,199,000 should be from the DA account, and the balance from the ACI and ESF accounts. The Committee recommends 

support for centers for victims of torture that provide services consistent with the goals of Public Law 106–87, the Torture Victims 

Relief Reauthorization Act of 1999. 

DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS AND GOVERNANCE

The Committee recommends at least $16,000,000 for democracy, 

human rights and governance programs and activities under the 

DA account, which shall be administered by the Office of Democracy and Governance. 

ENERGY, BIODIVERSITY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT

The Committee recommends at least $236,000,000 for programs 

and activities relating to energy, biodiversity, and the environment. 

Biodiversity.—The Committee supports USAID’s Amazon Basin 

Conservation Strategy, and recommends not less than $10,000,000, 

in addition to funds requested for activities to protect biodiversity 

in these countries in fiscal year 2007, to implement this initiative. 

The Committee understands that a central component of the strategy is to strengthen the capacity of indigenous peoples to protect 

their lands. 

Birds of Prey.—The Committee recommends $500,000 for the 

Peregrine Fund’s work in the International Raptor Center, to be 

matched by private contributions. The Committee notes that the 

Peregrine Fund continues to build a record of protecting birds of 

prey worldwide. 

Energy.—The Committee recommends $180,000,000 from all accounts in this act to support policies and programs in developing 

countries that promote energy efficiency, renewable energy, and 

cleaner energy technologies, including $15,000,000 for USAID’s Office of Energy and Information Technology. 

The Committee recommends not less than $3,000,000 for the 

USAID/Department of Energy hydropower partnership Clean Energy Technology Exports Initiative [CETEI]. The Committee expects United States Government agencies to continue to participate 

in the nine-agency CETEI. 
66 

Great Apes.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$2,000,000 from funds made available for Indonesia under the DA 

country subaccount for continued support of programs conducted by 

NGOs, including the Orangutan Foundation and others, to protect 

the habitat of orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra. 

The Committee supports continued funding for programs to protect great apes in Central Africa, including through the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service and NGOs such as the Jane Goodall Institute, 

the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International and members of the 

International Gorilla Conservation Program. 

Parks in Peril.—The Committee recommends up to $7,000,000 

for the conservation programs of Parks in Peril. 

Water.—The Committee recommends not less than $200,000,000 

of the funds appropriated by this act for safe drinking water and 

sanitation supply projects, to be expended in accordance with Public Law 109–121, the Senator Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act 

of 2005. The Committee supports establishment of a pilot project 

regarding new water purification technologies in developing countries, and recommends funding for a program to install solar driven 

submersible water pumps in Uganda. 

The Committee directs USAID to report to the Committee no 

later than 90 days after enactment of the act on funding and implementation of its water projects, including the number and location 

of wells drilled, and the average cost per well. 

HIGHER EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

The Committee recommends at least $53,330,000 for programs 

and activities targeted toward higher education, training and workforce development. 

Center for Entrepreneurship.—The Committee notes that the 

budget request does not contain assistance for Croatia. The Committee, however, requests USAID and the State Department to consider a proposal from the Center of Entrepreneurship for a distance 

learning program for the region. 

CHOICE Humanitarian.—The Committee recommends USAID 

consider and fund proposals from CHOICE Humanitarian to improve the quality of life through education and health projects in 

Latin America and Africa. 

Cooperative Association of States for Scholarships.—The Committee continues to support the CASS program to provide scholarships at American colleges for students from Latin America and 

elsewhere. 

TRADE CAPACITY AND OTHER ECONOMIC GROWTH

The Committee recommends at least $283,000,000 for trade capacity and other economic growth activities. 

Collaborative Research Support Programs.—The Committee recommends at least $29,773,000 for CRSPs, including for expansion 

of programs in Africa and South Asia and the creation of a CRSP 

focused on water issues. This reflects an increase of $5,000,000 

above the budget request. 

Commercial Development Programs.—The Committee recommends $225,000,000 from all accounts in the act for microenterprise development programs for the poor, especially women. The 
67 

Committee expects USAID to preserve the viability of leading private NGO microfinance networks and PVOs in order to maximize 

assistance to poor clients. The Committee believes that the great 

majority of microenterprise development resources should be used 

to support the direct provision of services to the poorest microentrepreneurs through these networks. The Committee supports the implementation of poverty measure as a means of verifying that at 

least half of these resources are targeted toward the world’s poorest 

people, and recommends up to $20,000,000 to increase incentives 

for microfinance service providers to accommodate people infected 

with HIV/AIDS. 

Cooperative Development Program.—The Committee recommends 

$10,000,000 for USAID’s CDP. 

Millennium Development Goals.—The Committee supports the 

Millennium Development Goals and recognizes the Millennium Village Project’s comprehensive approach to addressing the economic, 

agriculture, health and nutrition, energy, water, environment, and 

technology needs of communities in poor countries. The Committee 

recommends that the DFA consider and fund this initiative. 

Professional Services.—The Committee supports the work of the 

International Executive Service Corps, the Citizens Development 

Corps, and the Financial Services Volunteer Corps, and directs 

USAID to provide funding to these organizations at levels no less 

than they received in fiscal year 2006. 

Property Rights.—The Committee recognizes the important contributions of the Institute of Liberty and Democracy in the promotion of property rights and the creation private real estate markets in Latin America, the former Soviet Union, and North Africa. 

The Committee directs USAID to continue its funding support for 

the Institute. 

The Committee recognizes the work of the International Real 

Property Foundation (IRPF) to create private real estate markets 

and promote property rights abroad. The Committee directs USAID 

to continue its partnership with IRPF to introduce international 

real estate standards and best practices in developing countries. 

United States Telecommunications Training Institute.—The Committee recommends $1,000,000 for USTTI. 

UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS

The Committee received a large number of requests to fund specific activities at or through American institutions of higher education. The Committee strongly supports activities that advance 

international development and United States foreign policy goals. 

The Committee has reviewed the concepts proposed for funding, 

and recommends that USAID and/or the State Department (as appropriate for the proposed project) actively consider proposals submitted by the following organizations. 

Unless a proposal demonstrates a unique, innovative, or proprietary capability, or demonstrates special considerations that justify 

limited or non-competitive treatment, the Committee expects that 

competitive procedures will be applied with regard to the proposals 

on the list that follows. The Committee also expects USAID to give 

priority to proposals that have technical merit, realistic budgets, 

matching contributions, and achievable objectives. Proposals are to 
68 

be submitted to USAID and/or the State Department for consideration within 90 days after the date of enactment of this act. 

No later than 60 days after the submission of the report required 

by section 653(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, USAID 

should submit a report to the Committee on the status of each activity identified below. Such a report should include: (1) the status

available for bicommunal projects on Cyprus have been obligated 

without appropriate consultation with the Government of Cyprus. 

Disabilities.—The Committee recommends $4,000,000 to address 

the needs and protect the rights of people with disabilities in developing countries, and commends the work of the Advisory Committee on Persons with Disabilities at the State Department and 

USAID. Of this amount, $1,500,000 should be made available to organizations that specialize in advocacy for people with disabilities. 

The Committee directs the DFA to submit a report to the Committee no later than June 30, 2007 describing USAID’s programs 

and activities to address the needs and protect the rights of people 

with disabilities. 

The Committee recommends $15,000,000 to support the provision 

of wheelchairs for needy persons in developing countries. Of this 

amount, the Committee recommends $5,000,000 be made available 

for the activities of the Wheelchair Foundation, and expects these 

funds to be matched by private donations on a dollar-for-dollar 

basis. The Committee also recommends $2,000,000 for the programs of the Free Wheelchair Mission.

practices, natural hazards, and other environmental stresses. The 

Committee recognizes the continued importance of the Foundation’s conflict management and mitigation efforts, particularly initiatives to develop regional/global approaches to combat corruption, 

implement extractive industries’ best practices, and promote effective reconstruction of post-conflict countries to promote stability 

and security. The Committee recommends $3,000,000 for FESS for 

these efforts.

documenting Saddam Hussein’s myriad abuses against the people

and fully digitize and annotate Ba’ath Party regime documents. 

Marla Ruzicka Iraqi War Victims Fund.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for this Fund, which should be transferred to 

and merged with funds appropriated under the heading ‘‘Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund’’ in chapter 2 of title II of Public Law 

108–106. 

MEPI.—The Committee recommends $75,000,000 for the Middle

countries with significant Muslim populations at not-for-profit institutions of basic and higher education in the Middle East that are 

accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the United 

States Department of Education and are not controlled by the government of the country in which they are located, including the 

American University of Beirut, the American University in Cairo,

ethnic, religious and political backgrounds in countries affected by 

civil conflict and war. This global program seeks to promote understanding, mutual respect and reconciliation through the active participation of members of opposing groups. The Committee supports 

funding of local organizations in affected countries, and also believes that the following organizations are among those deserving 

consideration for support: 

—The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies, which brings 

college age Arabs and Israelis together to promote better relations and solve common environmental problems; 

—Seeds of Peace, which promotes understanding between teenagers in the Middle East, South Asia, Cyprus, and the Balkans; 

—Facing History and Ourselves, which promotes civic responsibility, tolerance and respect in post-conflict societies; 

—Middle East People-to-People Coexistence Program, which 

seeks to facilitate interaction and cooperation among Israeli 

and Palestinian youth;

—Interns for Peace, which unites youth, women, and diverse ethnic groups in cooperative development in the Middle East and 

elsewhere.

First Regional Cooperative Program for Health to be conducted by 

the Hebrew University’s Kuvin Center and Al Quds University.

Children With Disabilities.—The Committee recommends 

$2,000,000 for programs and activities for children with disabilities 

in Russia. The Committee recommends that of these funds, 

$1,000,000 should be provided to the Firefly Children’s Network. 

Civilian Research and Development Foundation.—The Committee 

recommends $10,000,000 for CRDF’s activities under the FSA and 

other accounts in the act to channel research activities of weapons 

scientists into constructive directions, such as HIV/AIDS, 

antiterrorism, energy development and science education. 

Coal Safety Programs.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 

for coal safety programs in Ukraine. 

Eurasia Foundation.—The Committee recognizes the work of the 

Eurasia Foundation in promoting democratic institutions, independent media, and business education throughout the former Soviet Union. The Committee supports funding for the Foundation at 

a level comparable to previous fiscal years to continue this work. 

Eurasian Medical Education Program.—The Committee supports 

the Eurasian Medical Education Program of the American College 

of Physicians to address HIV/AIDS and chronic diseases in Russia, 

and recommends funding for this program at a level comparable to 

that in fiscal year 2006. 

Oral History Project.—The Committee recommends that of the 

funds made available for assistance for Ukraine, the State Department should make sufficient funds available to reprint the report 

of the Oral History Project of the Congressional Commission on the 

Ukraine Famine and to facilitate the distribution of the report to 

libraries, schools and universities in Ukraine as a gift from the 

American people to the people of Ukraine in commemoration of the 

75th anniversary of the Ukraine famine. 

U.S. Forest Service.—The Committee appreciates the work of the 

U.S. Forest Service in the Russian Far East to promote sustainable 

forestry management, habitat protection for endangered species 

(including the Siberian tiger and rare salmon), protected area management and ecotourism, and fire management. The Committee 

recommends not less than $500,000 to support and expand these 

efforts. 

World Council of Hellenes.—The Committee supports the Council’s Primary Health Care Initiative in countries of the former So-
78 

viet Union, and recommends funding for this program at a level 

comparable to that in fiscal year 2006.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,877,000,000 

The Committee recommends $1,877,000,000 for the MCC, an 

amount that is $1,123,000,000 below the request. The Committee 

unequivocally supports the foreign assistance objectives of the 

MCC: to provide such assistance in a manner that promotes economic growth and the elimination of extreme poverty and strengthens good governance, economic freedom, and investments in people. 

In part, the funding level recommended by the Committee is due 

to the constraints of the 302(b) allocation for foreign assistance. 

Coordination.—The Committee remains concerned that compacts 

and country plans for MCC projects should be coordinated with, 

and complementary to, other foreign assistance efforts of the 

United States. To ensure that the myriad foreign assistance and security assistance programs of the United States are integrated, efficient, and economical, the Deputy Secretary of State and the DFA 

shall submit a report to the Committee, not later than 15 days 

prior to the signing of each compact that includes, at a minimum: 

an assessment of the overall foreign assistance program in the subject country, to include a description of aggregate funding provided 
79 

by the United States and the international donor community; an 

analysis of whether the MCC compact is duplicative with any other 

existing foreign assistance program, to include those of USAID; 

and, a description of any security assistance provided to the subject 

country. 

Judicial Reform.—The Committee recognizes that effective strategies to combat corruption, reform judicial systems, and strengthen 

the rule of law are essential to economic and democratic development and should be a central component in MCC compacts. 

Education.—The Committee recognizes that economic development cannot succeed without an educated workforce, and is concerned that of $1,800,000,000 of MCC funds committed through 

mid-2006, less than $13,000,000 is for education and in only one 

country. The Committee recommends that the MCC consider support for both basic and higher education in consideration of future 

compacts, and utilize the expertise of American institutions of 

higher education including Title XII land-grant colleges and universities. Eligible countries should be urged to include basic and higher education as a component in their proposals for MCC funding. 

Environment.—The Committee notes that MCC programs often 

focus on the development of infrastructure to improve trade capacity and the movement of goods to markets. The Committee urges 

the MCC and Compact partner countries to responsibly consider 

environmental as well as economic factors in the planning and development of infrastructure. The Committee directs the MCC to 

submit a report not later than 90 days after enactment of the act, 

detailing the programmatic measures and investments the MCC intends to undertake to address any social and environmental costs 

directly resulting from infrastructure investments. In addition, the 

Committee encourages the MCC to (1) consult with environmental 

experts to develop infrastructure planning mechanisms to enable 

recipient countries to minimize the environmental and social costs 

of their compact proposals at the outset, and (2) actively encourage 

such countries to set aside an adequate portion of compact funds 

to implement effective environmental mitigation measures.

Cote d’Ivoire Programs.—The Committee encourages all parties 

in Cote d’Ivoire to work toward the holding of free and fair democratic presidential elections, as the disarmament, demobilization 

and reintegration of the New Forces and pro-government militias 

proceeds. The Committee recommends that electoral assistance be 

made available from within regional funds to accelerate preparations for and the monitoring of upcoming presidential elections. 

Iran Programs.—The budget request did not contain funds for 

democracy programs in Iran. The Committee notes that 

$20,000,000 for these purposes is contained in Public Law 109–234, 

the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the 

Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery, 2006. 

Iraq Programs.—The Committee recommends $108,000,000 for 

democracy, governance, rule of law, and human rights programs in 

Iraq. The Committee directs that these funds be made available to 

those organizations identified under the ESF heading in chapter 3, 

title I of Conference Report 109–494, and only after consultation 

with the Committee. 

Pakistan Programs.—The Committee recommends that of the 

funds made available for assistance for Pakistan, $5,000,000 be 

made available for political party development programs and 

$3,000,000 be made available for media development activities, including those conducted by Internews. 

Syria Programs.—The Committee recommends $1,500,000 for democracy programs in Syria. 

Tolerance Programs.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 of 

the funds made available for assistance for Indonesia should be 

made available for programs and activities that utilize Indonesian 

leaders to promote moderation and tolerance in Islamic communities in Indonesia and other Islamic countries, including in the 

Middle East. The Committee recognizes the significant achievements of the Indonesian people in consolidating and strengthening 

their democratic processes and institutions, and believes this experience should be widely shared with other Islamic countries. Of this 

amount, the Committee recommends $3,700,000 for the LibForAll 

Foundation for programs targeted toward Islamic youth in other 

countries in the Middle East and elsewhere. 

The Committee directs that $4,000,000 of the funds made available for assistance for Indonesia should be made available for political party development programs and activities. 
83 

UNDEF.—The Committee recommends $3,500,000 for the U.N. 

Democracy Fund, a decrease of $6,500,000 below the budget request. 

PROGRAM ISSUES

BUREAU OF NEAR EASTERN AFFAIRS

The Committee believes the State Department’s Bureau of Near 

Eastern Affairs should be more aggressive in its support of democracy programs in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt, and requires that funds made available to the Bureau for the promotion 

of democracy shall be obligated and expended only after consultation with DRL. 

CIVIL SOCIETY, FREE MEDIA AND THE RULE OF LAW

The Committee reiterates its strong support for programs that 

strengthen civil society and the rule of law, including the development of free and independent media and unfettered access to the 

Internet. 

American Bar Association/Central European and Eurasian Law 

Initiative.—The Committee recommends continuation of CEELI 

and other rule of law programs in Asia, Africa and elsewhere at 

funding levels no less than fiscal year 2006 that are implemented 

through cooperative agreements. 

International Association for Court Administration.—The Committee recognizes IACA’s activities to improve judicial administration in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. 

Trade Unions.—The Committee recognizes the role of trade 

unions in the promotion of democracy, the rule of law, and equitable economic development, and recommends DRL and USAID integrate trade unions in their strategies for promoting democracy 

overseas. 

U.S.-Ukraine Foundation.—The Committee recommends 

$10,000,000 for the Foundation’s community partnership programs 

that support grassroots reform and civic participation in Ukraine. 

Voice for Humanity.—The Committee recognizes the successful 

programs conducted by VFH and recommends continued USAID 

support, where appropriate. 

COORDINATION OF PROGRAMS

The Committee believes that democracy programs should further 

United States national security objectives, and that these objectives 

should be developed and prioritized through an interagency process. The Committee does not believe that sufficient coordination between USAID and the State Department has occurred to date, and 

notes that democracy strategies appear to be crafted by individual 

overseas missions. This results in haphazard and uneven support 

for democracy and the rule of law among missions and within regions. The Committee expects the DFA to make coordination of 

these programs a priority, and to ensure that missions, while having input into the creation of democracy strategies, will primarily 

serve to implement programs. 
84 

DEMOCRACY DEFINED

To ensure a common understanding of democracy programs 

among United States Government agencies, the Committee defines 

in the act the ‘‘promotion of democracy’’ to include programs that 

support good governance, human rights, independent media, and 

the rule of law, and otherwise strengthen the capacity of democratic political parties, NGOs, and citizens to support the development of democratic states, institutions and practices that are responsible and accountable to citizens. 

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY

The Committee strongly supports the NED and recommends 

$106,250,000 for its programs and activities worldwide, an increase 

of $26,250,000 above the budget request. The Committee notes that 

NED’s administrative expenses are included in title I of this act. 

Funds for the NED are allocated in the following table:

GRANTS AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS

The Committee retains a provision in current law that provides 

that any contract, grant, or cooperative agreement in excess of 

$10,000,000 shall be subject to the regular notification procedures 

of the Committees on Appropriations. As the Committee remains 

concerned with the cost effectiveness of USAID’s reliance upon 

large contracts for democracy programs, particularly in the area of 

political development, the Committee recommends the President to 

emphasize the use of grants and cooperative agreements in the implementation of democracy programs. 

The Committee requests the DFA, in consultation with relevant 

United States Government agencies, to submit a report to the Committee no later than 180 days after enactment of this act that clarifies the roles and responsibilities of contractors and grantees in the 

promotion of democracy abroad. 
85 

The Committee is aware that USAID proposes to utilize contracts for democracy programs in Central Asia. Given complex programmatic environments, the Committee directs USAID to consult 

with DRL and the Committee on a democracy strategy for that region. 

HUMAN RIGHTS

Nepal.—The Committee welcomes recent positive political developments in Nepal and directs the State Department to work closely 

with other countries and international organizations to support efforts to peacefully resolve conflict in that country and to strengthen 

democratic institutions. 

The Committee recommends the DFA to consider additional assistance for rural Nepali communities that are particularly vulnerable to Maoist influence, including for projects in reforestation, agriculture and to provide access to potable water. 

The Committee remains concerned with human rights violations 

committed by both parties to the conflict. Of specific concern is the 

Maoist tactic of extortion, abduction and killing of civilians, and recruitment of children and any use of torture and summary execution by the Nepalese military. 

Section 556 of this act conditions military assistance for security 

forces. The Committee is concerned specifically with reported 

abuses perpetrated by the Nepalese Army at Majharajgunj barracks. The Committee expects the Nepalese military to observe recognized standards of military conduct and human rights. 

Guatemala.—Section 556 of this act conditions military assistance for security forces. The Committee supports efforts of the 

State Department and the United Nations to encourage the Government of Guatemala to: (1) establish the U.N.-sponsored international commission to aid in investigating, dismantling and prosecuting networks responsible for acts of political violence, including 

those with links to security, judicial or other government institutions; (2) enact the necessary laws to effectively combat organized 

crime, drug trafficking and corruption; (3) complete a workable 

plan with reasonable timetables for ending the role of the Army in 

internal law enforcement and rebuilding the National Civilian Police; (4) enact the necessary laws to establish full civilian control 

of the military and intelligence agencies and to ensure that the 

military justice system conforms to international standards; and (5) 

implement the necessary fiscal reforms to finance the implementation of these measures. 

The Committee is aware that a vast collection of records belonging to the Guatemalan National Police, some of which document 

political killings during the civil war, is being reviewed and preserved. These records have historical and judicial importance and 

the Committee recommends $100,000 from within funding for 

USAID to assist in their preservation. 

HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY FUND

The Committee recommends $85,000,000 for the HRDF, and increase of $50,000,000 above the budget request, of which 

$25,000,000 is for programs and activities in the PRC, Taiwan and 

Hong Kong, and $15,000,000 is for programs and activities in Is-
86 

lamic countries outside the Middle East. To ensure programmatic 

flexibility, the Committee provides the Assistant Secretary for DRL 

with responsibility for all policy, funding, and programming decisions regarding funds made available to DRL in this act. 

ISLAMIC COUNTRIES INITIATIVE

The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for the promotion of democracy in countries located outside the Middle East region with 

significant Muslim populations, and where such programs would be 

important to United States efforts to respond to, deter, or prevent 

acts of international terrorism. 

The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for programs and activities that provide professional training for journalists, and directs 

State to provide sufficient funds to Internews for this purpose. 

INTERNATIONAL NARCOTICS CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 712,490,000 

The Committee recommends $712,490,000 for INCLE, an amount 

$83,000,000 below the request. The Committee includes 

$83,000,000 for rule of law programs for Iraq under the DF. 

The Committee remains committed to supporting the Nation’s allies in the global war on terror in strengthening law enforcement 

capabilities. Through the improvement of the Iraqi criminal justice 

system, the interdiction and eradication of opium in Afghanistan, 

and the strengthening of Pakistani security forces, these INCLE 

programs increase the ability of our allies to lawfully govern. The 

Committee recommendation includes: $297,390,000 for Afghanistan; $171,600,000 for Iraq; $25,500,000 for Pakistan; and 

$4,700,000 for Indonesia. 

ILEAs.—The Committee recommends an increase of $2,500,000, 

to the request from within funds provided under this account, to 

be allocated equally among the four ILEAs, with an equal share reserved for a new Latin America ILEA if it is established during fiscal year 2007. 

NCMEC.—The Committee recommends $650,000 from within 

funds provided under this account for the State Department to assist the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in developing a system for information sharing, tracking incidents, and 

identifying patterns of international child pornography. 

ANDEAN COUNTERDRUG INITIATIVE

The Committee recommends $699,400,000 for the ACI, a decrease of $22,100,000 from the request. 

The Committee remains committed to the goals of the ACI, to 

eliminate the cultivation and refining of cocaine and opium, and to 

reduce the flow of drugs to the United States. The Committee rec-
87 

ommends the level of funding identified in the request for each 

country program, as detailed in the following table:

Critical Flight Safety Program.—Senate Report 109–96 noted 

that State Department funds the acquisition, lease and operation 

and maintenance of aircraft by using country funds, interregional 

aviation support funds, air bridge denial funds and critical flight 

safety funds. The Report further suggested that the Department 

should consider a single operation and maintenance account to 

unify the disparate sources and reform the unwieldy structure for 

the funding of the aviation fleet. The State Department took no action to improve this organizational structure and within the request seeks $65,700,000 for the Critical Flight Safety Program, an 

increase of more than 100 percent over the current fiscal year. 

The budget request seeks advance funding for two multi-year 

Service Life Extension Programs although no prototype remanufactured aircraft has yet to be completed. The Committee recommends 

funding that more realistically reflects the anticipated delivery 

schedule of these remanufactured aircraft. The State Department 

is to provide the Committee with a schedule for the delivery of 

these aircraft, and the cost per airframe. Although the request 

seeks $7,200,000 for a new start programmed depot maintenance 

program, the budget justification materials included no estimate of 

cost per maintenance availability or program schedule. The Committee recommends $6,000,000 and expects the State Department 

to provide a summary of maintenance costs per aircraft and schedule. 

The Committee requires that all reprogramming of funds under 

this heading shall be subject to the same review and approval procedures by the State Department as apply to the reprogramming 

of ESF funds. 
88 

Forensic Assistance.—The Committee is aware that Colombia is 

among the countries most affected by murder and kidnapping. 

EQUITAS, a non-profit scientific organization, uses forensic analysis to identify the remains of Colombians who have disappeared 

as a result of conflict. The Committee recommends up to $250,000 

from within funds available to USAID to support EQUITAS’s work.

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

Although the budget request includes $75,000,000 for a Conflict 

Response Fund, the Committee recommends no funding for this 

new start program. During the Committee’s review of the request, 

State Department officials cited studies and analysis conducted by 

the staff of the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and 

Stabilization as evidence of that organization’s value to the interagency planning process. Although the Committee repeatedly requested access to these studies, specifically those reported to have 

contained long term planning for peacekeeping, training and development programs in Sudan, no such documents were presented. 

The State Department requested funding for the establishment of 

a new Civilian Reserve Corps, which in theory would be capable of 

deploying to a conflict or post-war environment to aid in civilian 

administrations and coordination. The State Department is currently reviewing the legislative authorities, manning requirement, 

and operational concepts related to establishing such a capability, 

and these studies may produce a more defensible request for funding as part of a future budget request.

The Committee continues its support for the IMET program and provides $88,900,000 for this account, as requested. 

The Committee encourages additional support under the IMET 

account to U.S. allies in the war against international terrorism, 

including the Philippines, Georgia, Latvia, Indonesia, El Salvador, 

and Mongolia. 

The recommended level of assistance for Guatemala is only to 

support efforts of the military to participate in internationl peacekeeping operations and improve disaster response capabilities.

The Committee recommends $4,667,800,000 for the FMF account, an increase of $116,900,000 above the budget request. The 

Committee recommendation recognizes that FMF, combined with 

the national resources committed by our allies to improve their 

own capabilities, contributes to: their respective preparedness for 

national defense; regional stability; interoperability as a coalition 

member; and peacekeeping proficiency.

Combatant Commanders Initiative Fund.—The Committee recommends a new program to be funded within FMF. The purpose 

of the program is identical to GPOI, namely, to identify the critical 

shortfalls in the training, equipment, and capabilities of our allies 

to serve in peacekeeping and peace enforcement operations. The 

Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs, in consultation with the Combatant Commanders of the U.S. Pacific, 

Central, European, and Southern Commands, shall identify the 

most critical training and equipment shortfalls of our peacekeeping 

partners and regional allies. The Assistant Secretary shall propose 

to the Committee, not later than October 15, 2006, a program and 

plan to address these shortfalls over a 3-year period. The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for this initiative. 

Guatemala.—The budget request did not seek funding for Guatemala. The Committee directs that within available funds up to 

$500,000 in assistance should be available for the Guatemalan 

Navy and Air Force. The recommended funding is only for aircraft 

spare parts and the purchase of outboard motors for Navy patrol 

boats on the Usumacinta River, which is a frequent transit route 

for drug traffickers. 

Report.—Not later than 90 days after enactment of the act, and 

for each fiscal quarter thereafter, the Secretary of State shall submit a report to the Committee that details the use of all funds appropriated under this heading. The report shall describe, at a minimum: all major end items procured; services or training provided 

or purchased; operation and maintenance services and contracts, to 

include logistics and commodities purchased; and the procurement 

of ordnance or ammunition.

The Committee recommends $97,925,000 for the PKO account, a 

decrease of $102,575,000 from the budget request. Funds recommended for Peacekeeping Operations support multilateral peacekeeping operations and training.

GPOI.—Within Public Law 109–102, Foreign Operations, Export 

Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act 2006, the 

Congress provided $175,000,000 for Peacekeeping Operations, of 

which $100,384,000 was for the GPOI. The purpose of the GPOI 

program, a Presidential initiative, is to train and equip foreign 
92 

militaries for participation in peacekeeping missions and operations. The State Department, however, has failed to demonstrate 

a requisite level of commitment to the program, instead viewing 

funds provided for GPOI as a funding source for other activities. 

The Committee recommends no funding for GPOI under PKO and 

recommends a new program, the CCIF under the Foreign Military 

Financing Program. 

In Senate Report 109–96 the Committee included a reporting requirement intended to insure that the State Department executed 

the GPOI program and the other programs funded within Peacekeeping Operations. The State Department ignored the Committee’s guidance, and proved unable to articulate any plan for the use 

of fiscal year 2005 funding until calendar year 2006. The Committee recommends a reporting requirement, contained in section 

531, to remedy this failure in planning and program management.
