SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES

The Committee recommendation for the fiscal year 2010 budget 

for the activities under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on 

State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs is 

$48,700,000,000 in new discretionary budget authority, which is 

$1,901,713,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, including 

supplemental appropriations and $3,344,063,000 below the fiscal 

year 2010 budget request. An additional $158,900,000 is for mandatory spending. The Committee notes that in fiscal year 2009, 

$3,679,500,000 in supplemental appropriations was provided in 

Public Law 110–252, $602,000,000 was provided in Public Law 

111–5, and $9,700,213,000 was provided in Public Law 111–32, including $2,534,375 for fiscal year 2010 requests. 

FOREIGN ASSISTANCE AND DIPLOMACY

The Committee is aware of the importance of ensuring that foreign assistance is targeted, efficient, and effective in furthering the 

interests of the United States abroad. This requires ongoing oversight and reform of programs and implementers by both the executive branch and Congress. The Committee has endeavored to provide this oversight and reform in the fiscal year 2010 act and accompanying report. 

Foreign assistance and diplomacy are essential to safeguarding 

the Nation’s security, whether through military assistance programs that meet the needs of our allies in troubled regions, public 

diplomacy programs that serve to counter the misinformation 

spread by our adversaries, agriculture programs that provide food 

security, health programs that control the spread of communicable 
8 

diseases and save lives in the most desolate and desperate of 

places, or education and training programs that help develop the 

skills of future generations. The return on the investments in these 

programs often takes years. Acts of international terrorism against 

the United States over the past two decades and the recent H1N1 

pandemic underscore the absolute need for such programs—and 

deft diplomacy. 

The failure of foreign assistance programs and diplomacy is costly to the taxpayer and the men and women called upon to serve 

in harm’s way. The Committee continues its investments in personnel and training at the Department of State and USAID to 

sharpen the Nation’s diplomatic and development edge. 

COUNTRY OVERVIEWS

In its review of the fiscal year 2010 budget request, the Committee identified countries of interest, several of which are discussed below: 

Afghanistan.—The Committee recommends $2,761,500,000 for 

assistance for Afghanistan from all accounts in this act, which is 

equal to the budget request. 

The Committee notes the substantial investment in Afghanistan’s development to date, and shares the view of the Department 

of State’s Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan that 

improvements in these programs and activities are needed. The 

Committee remains concerned with factors that undermine 

progress in that country, including: violence against the Afghan 

people by the Taliban and other extremists; weak and ineffective 

governance; allegations of official corruption; expensive and uncoordinated aid programs; human rights abuses including oppression 

of women and girls; and illicit poppy cultivation and drug trafficking. The Committee expects the Government of Afghanistan to 

do its share in defeating terrorism and providing a safe and stable 

country for its citizens. To help the Government of Afghanistan accomplish these goals, the Department of State and USAID should 

bolster Afghan ownership of the country’s development and work 

with Afghans to plan and implement programs. 

Burma.—The Committee recommends $39,850,000 for Burma 

programs from all accounts in this act, which is $3,000,000 above 

the budget request. 

The Committee shares the view of the Department of State and 

NGO community that more must be done to help the people of 

Burma who have long been repressed by a military junta that does 

not provide for basic needs. The Committee recognizes the difficult 

and controlled programmatic environment inside Burma and along 

Burma’s borders with Thailand and India, and appreciates the 

dedication and service of those providing assistance. The Committee underscores that the root of Burma’s problems are political 

in nature, and any effective resolution requires the full participation of the National League for Democracy and the ethnic nationalities. 

Cambodia.—The Committee recommends $72,770,000 for assistance for Cambodia from all accounts in this act, which is equal to 

the budget request. 
9 

The Committee does not recognize Cambodia as a functioning democracy, and notes that official corruption and weak rule of law 

perpetuate a cycle of poverty, which is exacerbated by the global 

economic crisis. Nonetheless, the Committee supports continued investment in that country, particularly given its unique horrific 

past, and understands that weak states like Cambodia can become 

a safe haven for terrorists and other criminal elements. The Committee notes the positive steps taken by the Government of Cambodia to investigate and prosecute cases of human trafficking. 

Egypt.—The Committee recommends $1,295,200,000 for assistance for Egypt, which, when combined with funding appropriated 

in Public Law 111–32 to meet fiscal year 2010 requirements, 

equals the budget request. An additional $50,000,000 was also included in Public Law 111–32 under the ESF heading. 

The Committee notes the importance of Egypt to United States 

security interests in the region, especially regarding peace between 

Israelis and Palestinians. The Committee encourages continued 

partnership on mutual concerns, particularly economic and political 

reforms, human rights, and counterterrorism. The Committee includes language providing for an endowment that could serve as a 

lasting source of support for this bilateral relationship. 

Indonesia.—The Committee recommends $207,100,000 for assistance for Indonesia from all accounts in this act, which is 

$2,770,000 above the budget request. 

The Committee endorses the administration’s efforts to build a 

comprehensive partnership with Indonesia that will serve to 

strengthen the bilateral relationship. The Committee supports increased cooperation in areas of mutual interest, including security, 

economic development, environmental protection, military and judicial reform, and human rights. The Committee recognizes the advancement of democracy in that country. The Committee also supports the return of the Peace Corps to Indonesia. The Committee 

remains concerned with the lack of progress in bringing to justice 

military officers credibly alleged to have committed violations of 

human rights. 

Iran.—The Committee recommends $40,000,000 under the ESF 

heading for programs and activities to support reforms in Iran, and 

to counter Iranian influence throughout the Middle East region. 

The Committee underscores its support for the aspirations of the 

people of Iran for representative governance, and notes the growing 

illegitimacy of the ruling clerics and incumbent officials in Iran and 

abroad. 

Iraq.—The Committee recommends $459,300,000 for assistance 

for Iraq in title III of this act, which is $40,700,000 below the budget request. 

The near-term challenges for Iraq are significant, and include the 

need to maintain security and stability during a period of reduction 

of U.S. Armed Forces, and to conduct credible and competitive national elections. Responsible and visionary Iraqi leadership is essential in furthering the development of a peaceful and stable country in which citizens can live without violence and fear. The Committee provides authority to the Secretary of State to make available additional FMF assistance for border security for countries in 
10 

the Middle East region, such as Jordan, should the situation in 

Iraq deteriorate significantly. 

Israel.—The Committee recommends $2,220,000,000 for assistance for Israel, which when combined with funding appropriated in 

Public Law 111–32 to meet fiscal year 2010 requirements, equals 

the budget request. The Committee continues to recognize the important relationship between the United States and Israel, and of 

United States leadership in helping to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 

Jordan.—The Committee recommends $542,950,000 for assistance for Jordan, a key U.S. ally in a troubled region, from all accounts in this act, which when combined with funding appropriated 

in Public Law 111–32 to meet fiscal year 2010 requirements, 

equals the budget request. 

Mongolia.—The Committee recommends up to $8,850,000 for as- sistance for Mongolia in title III of this act, which is $1,700,000 

above the budget request. Funds are provided under the ESF heading to initiate partnerships on regional issues of mutual interest. 

North Korea.—The Committee does not recommend $98,000,000 

requested for energy-related assistance for North Korea. 

The Committee recognizes that political leadership transition in 

closed societies are often disruptive, more so as Pyongyang aspires 

to be a nuclear power. The Committee encourages the PRC and 

Russia to play a constructive role in encouraging North Korea to 

denuclearize. 

Pakistan.—The Committee recommends $1,280,000,000 for assistance for Pakistan in title III of this act, which is equal to the 

budget request. Funds are also provided in title IV for security assistance, in addition to the $700,000,000 provided for Pakistan 

under the Pakistan Counterinsurgency Capability Fund in Public 

Law 111–32. 

The Committee strongly encourages the Government of Pakistan 

to redouble efforts to address the myriad challenges that give rise 

and opportunity to extremism in that country, including the lack 

of education and economic opportunities, corruption, poor governance, and human rights abuses. Assistance provided in this act and 

prior appropriations acts can only be effective if the Government of 

Pakistan demonstrates sustained political will to address these 

challenges, and to meet the basic needs of its citizens. The Committee expects Pakistan to demonstrate such will in the future, and 

to constructively engage with neighbors in the region to improve 

the political, security, and economic situation. The Committee also 

anticipates the administration may submit budget requests for assistance for Pakistan in the future to meet humanitarian needs 

arising from conflict. 

Philippines.—The Committee recommends $142,000,000 for assistance for the Philippines from all accounts in this act, which is 

$17,650,000 above the budget request. 

The Committee appreciates the relationship between the United 

States and the Philippines, and recommends assistance for programs and activities that support economic development, good governance, and the rule of law. In addition, assistance is provided to 

strengthen the bilateral military and security relationship to 

counter terrorism in the region.

PROGRAM ISSUES

Airwing.—The Committee provided $25,000,000 for the Department of State’s Afghanistan airwing in Public Law 111–32, an 

amount that exceeded the supplemental budget request by 

$25,000,000. The Committee therefore recommends $35,000,000 for 

such purposes in fiscal year 2010, which is $25,000,000 below the 

budget request. 

The Committee expects the Department of State and USAID to 

continue to follow the airwing directives, including inter-agency coordination and communications interoperability, contained in Public Law 111–32. 

Cultural Heritage.—The Committee recommends $7,500,000 to 

preserve cultural heritage, of which $6,000,000 is for the Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation and $1,000,000 is for the 

Cultural Antiquities Task Force. This is an increase of $1,000,000 

above the budget request, to support at least two large projects of 
13 

historic cultural significance. The Department of State should consult with the Committee prior to the obligation of funds. 

Diplomatic Security.—The Committee recognizes the important 

role of Diplomatic Security to protect personnel, facilities, and information in the United States and abroad, and encourages the Department of State to adequately address issues raised in the Office 

of Inspector General Report Number ISP–I–09–16, April 2009. 

The Committee provided $13,375,000 in Public Law 111–32 for 

a diplomatic security training facility, an amount that exceeded the 

budget request by $13,375,000. The Committee therefore recommends no funding for such purposes in fiscal year 2010. 

Information Technology.—The Committee supports the budget 

request for IT salaries and programs, including for cybersecurity, 

and encourages the Department of State to coordinate such activities with USAID and other Federal agencies, as appropriate. Given 

the inherent international functions of diplomacy and development, 

the Committee believes the Department of State and USAID to be 

particularly vulnerable to cyber attacks. 

Intelligence and Research.—The Committee supports the budget 

request for 15 new positions in the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, and recommends an additional $1,000,000 to support six 

additional analysts for priority countries. 

Iraq Operations.—The Committee notes that the Department of 

State estimates the monthly costs for Iraq operations at 

$130,100,000, a rate that is 14 times greater than the estimated 

monthly costs for current Afghanistan operations. The Committee 

believes this amount is not sustainable, and drains resources from 

other Department of State priorities overseas. 

The Committee provided $486,000,000 for Department of State 

operations in Iraq in Public Law 111–32, an amount that exceeded 

the budget request by $336,000,000. The Committee recommends 

$1,100,000,000 for such purposes in fiscal year 2010. 

The Committee directs that the overhead cover security standard 

for all buildings and facilities located on the NEC in Baghdad shall 

meet uniform requirements, as established by the Department of 

State. To the extent Department of State real estate is provided for 

another department or agency’s exclusive use, that department or 

agency is responsible for meeting such standard. 

Labor Officers.—The Committee is concerned that a number of 

labor officer posts at U.S. missions overseas have been vacant in 

recent years. Labor officers play a critical role in reporting on the 

worst forms of child labor and human trafficking, freedom of association, and labor rights compliance among trading partners. The 

Committee supports designation of personnel to these vacant posts 

and the allocation of greater resources in support of labor diplomacy. 

Locally Employed Staff.—According to the Department of State’s 

June 2009 report ‘‘Trends in Overseas Staffing and Support for 

Chiefs of Mission’’, over 56,000 LES work in U.S. missions overseas, an increase of 1.8 percent above the calendar year 2008 level. 

Embassies in Sudan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Mexico, Ethiopia, South Africa, India, Ghana and Canada have all had significant increases in LES positions over the past 2 years. Embassies 
14 

in Belgium, Nepal, Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Iraq 

and Eritrea have all had decreases during the same period. 

The Committee appreciates the support provided by LES to Embassy operations and programs, and recognizes that they often possess invaluable institutional knowledge on policies and procedures 

at their respective missions. The Committee is aware, however, 

that LES may serve without adequate salary increases and/or at 

less-than-prevailing wages and compensation packages, resulting in 

attrition. Hiring new LES may pose significant challenges if improvements are not made in compensation. The Committee endorses the recommendations of the Office of the Inspector General 

on LES compensation issues contained in Report Number ISP–I– 

09–44, April 2009. 

To begin to address the challenges posed by LES compensation, the Committee recommends $695,000,000 for LES salaries (excluding those under the Local Guard Program), and authorizes the use 

of such funds for awards and special benefits, including compensation should LES be killed in the line of duty. The Committee requires the Secretary of State to consult on the proposed guidelines 

for awards and special benefits for LES. 

Office of Global Women’s Issues.—The Committee recommends 

$2,000,000 for the Office of Global Women’s Issues in fiscal year 

2010. The Committee supports efforts by this Office to integrate 

gender issues into assistance programs across all sectors of development and to generate public-private partnerships to assist 

women and girls. The Committee recognizes that gender issues can 

be addressed by assistance programs provided through Federal 

agencies involved in development, and directs the Ambassador-atLarge for Global Women’s Issues to consult with USAID, the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Health and Human Services, 

Justice, and other relevant Federal agencies to establish metrics 

identifying the benefits accrued for women globally by U.S. assistance. 

Personnel and Training.—The Department of State has undertaken several initiatives to increase personnel and training to reverse the effects of the downsizing that occurred in the 1990s, and 

to strengthen the diplomatic corps following the September 11, 

2001 attacks on the United States, including: the Diplomatic Readiness Initiative (2002–2004); Transformational Diplomacy/Global 

Repositioning (2006–2008); and the Human Resources Initiative 

(2008 to the present). However, the sustained impact of these initiatives has been eroded by significant personnel needs in Iraq and 

Afghanistan, which created vacancies in key regions such as South 

and Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Western Hemisphere. The Committee notes that 2008 data from the Department 

of State indicates 1,619 vacancies worldwide, and several hundred 

positions filled by below-grade personnel or personnel sent to the 

field without adequate training. 

The Committee supports the budget request for the Human Resources Initiative, which will provide an additional 565 positions, 

including 332 to expand the Department’s overseas presence. The 

Committee also supports the budget request for an additional 661 

positions. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit 

a report on the overall fiscal year 2010 requirements, including 
15 

how such personnel and training contribute to a projected 3-year 

strategy for personnel growth, training and funding requirements 

for the Department. The Committee restricts the obligation of 

funds for new positions on the submission of this strategy document, which should serve as a detailed blueprint for the Human 

Resources Initiative. 

Public Diplomacy.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$506,278,000 for public diplomacy programs, to be funded through 

direct appropriations and Department of State fees. 

While the Committee supports English Access Microscholarship, 

the Committee directs the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs to bolster follow-up activities for EAM alumni to maximize the 

impact of this program. 

The Committee recommends the Department of State continue to 

support public diplomacy activities in Pakistan that train madrassa 

leaders, helping them improve the quality of education, expand 

education to include scientific and social disciplines, adopt pedagogy that develop critical thinking skills among students, and encourage adherence to the principles of tolerance and human rights 

in Islam. The Committee recommends that the Department also 

consider supporting English language training for madrassa leaders. 

Tibet.—The Committee recognizes the important role played by 

the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues in implementing Tibet 

programs and policies. The Committee urges the Secretary of State 

to continue to provide support for the Coordinator in carrying out 

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

107–228, as well as for convening coordinating meetings for appropriate U.S. Government agencies, NGOs, and representatives of the 

Tibetan leadership. 

Trafficking in Persons.—The Committee recommends 

$12,000,000 for the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in 

Persons, which is $6,990,000 above the budget request. 

REPORTS

Public Diplomacy.—The Committee is concerned with limited 

public access to Information Resource Centers that were moved 

onto U.S. Embassy compounds, 40 percent of which are accessible 

by appointment only and 11 percent of which have no public access 

at all. The Secretary of State shall submit a report to the Committee not later than 90 days after enactment of this act that assesses the security implications and public diplomacy gains of establishing U.S. public diplomacy facilities in locations that maximize their use, consistent with the authority given to the Secretary 

under section 606(a)(2)(B) of Appendix G of Public Law 106–113 to 

waive certain requirements of that act. 

Security Requirements and Programs.—The Secretary of State 

shall submit a report to the Committee on Appropriations not later 

than 90 days after enactment of this act describing guidelines used 

by the Department of State to consider the cost-benefit ratio of the 

conduct (including oversight) of foreign assistance and public diplomacy programs in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the security requirements for such programs. The Committee notes that the security 
16 

costs associated with PRT operations in these countries are not 

sustainable without support from the Department of Defense. 

CIVILIAN STABILIZATION INITIATIVE

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. 1 $45,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 323,272,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 150,000,000 

1 An additional $30,000,000 was provided for CSI in title II in fiscal year 2009. 

The Committee recommends $150,000,000 for the Civilian Stabilization Initiative, which is $173,272,000 below the budget request and $75,000,000 above prior year enacted levels. 

The Committee recognizes the potential of the CSI to mitigate 

the impact of conflict and instability abroad, particularly in Afghanistan. The Committee believes that the success of the CSI can 

best be achieved through gradual stand up and implementation. 

Funding increases should be based on efficient operations and 

measurable performance successes, both of which are works in 

progress. The Committee recommends funding for CSI at a level 

that will permit sensible operational expansion. 

Funds for CSI are contained under a single heading, as requested, and are allocated in the following table, subject to the requirements of section 7019 of this act:

Airlift.—The Committee is concerned that the CSI has no dedicated airlift capabilities, which calls into question its ability to rapidly deploy Civilian Response Corps personnel. Deployment funds 

are therefore conditioned on a Secretary of State certification that 

the Department of State has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Defense relating to the provision 

of airlift for CRC personnel and equipment. 

Equipment.—The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for equipment for the CSI, which is $45,191,000 below the request. The 

Committee underscores that priority for armored vehicles should be 

given to existing Department of State overseas requirements. 

Personnel.—The Committee does not recommend funding for a 

Civilian Response Corps Reserve Component. The Committee will 

consider such funding after the CSI has established a record of effective operations, and can demonstrate programmatic accomplishments.

Every program for which the Committee recommends funding in 

the previous table is established pursuant to an act of Congress, or 

is a program for which funding is authorized by an act of Congress, 

or was included in the President’s budget request for fiscal year 

2010. 

Youth Exchange.—The Committee supports the goals of the 

Youth Exchange and Study Program, which enables secondary 

school students from countries with significant Muslim populations 

to study in the United States. The Committee recommends 

$25,000,000 for this program in fiscal year 2010. 

Paul Simon Study Abroad Foundation.—The Committee is aware 

of legislation to authorize appropriations for the Senator Paul 

Simon Study Abroad Foundation, which would provide opportunities for college-age students to study abroad. The Committee will 

consider a request for funding for this program if it is authorized 

by law. 

One-time International Exchange Grant Program.—The Committee recommends $8,000,000 to provide one-time competitive 

grants for international exchanges that address issues of mutual 

interest to the United States and other countries, consistent with 

the criteria established in fiscal year 2008. This program shall be 

only for the actual exchange of people and should benefit a population that is not being addressed through existing authorized exchanges. The Secretary of State shall submit a report to the Committee of those organizations that are eligible for a grant and, not 

later than September 1, 2010, a report describing the grant recipients and intended use of funds. 
19 

The Committee encourages the Department to utilize this program to expand international exchanges in areas that are not predominantly served by other U.S. Government exchange programs, 

such as exchange with developing countries; community leaders 

who would not traditionally have an opportunity to participate in 

an exchange; students and youth with high financial need; and minority ethnic groups. The Committee notes that an exchange program that received a one-time grant in a previous year is ineligible 

for additional one-time funding, but the Committee encourages the 

Department to consider new proposals from previously funded 

grantees within discretionary funding if they meet appropriate 

guidelines. 

Exchange programs eligible for consideration in fiscal year 2010 

include: Monmouth University; State University of New York, 

Levin Institute; Ohio Northern University College of Law; Sister 

Cities International; Spelman College; University of Iowa; and the 

University of Vermont. 

REPRESENTATION ALLOWANCES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $8,175,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 8,175,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 8,175,000 

The Committee recommends $8,175,000 for Representation Allowances, which is equal to the budget request, for reimbursement 

to Foreign Service Officers for expenditures incurred in their official capacities abroad in establishing and maintaining relations 

with officials of foreign governments and members of local communities. The Committee recommends that not more than $500,000 of 

the funds made available under this account and under the Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular Service heading may be 

made available for official representation funds for the Office of the 

Chief of Protocol. 

PROTECTION OF FOREIGN MISSIONS AND OFFICIALS

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $22,814,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 27,159,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 27,159,000 

The Committee recommends $27,159,000 for Protection of Foreign Missions and Officials, which is equal to the budget request, 

to reimburse local governments and communities for the extraordinary costs incurred in providing protection for international organizations, foreign missions and officials, and foreign dignitaries 

under certain circumstances. 

The Committee intends that in instances where a local jurisdiction will realize a financial benefit from a visit by a foreign delegation, such circumstances should be taken into account by the Department in assessing the need for reimbursement under this program. The Committee expects the Department to provide reimbursement to local jurisdictions on a timely basis if claims are fully 

justified. 
20 

EMBASSY SECURITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. 1 $2,669,369,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1,815,050,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,724,150,000 

1The enacted level includes $1,706,569,000 from Public Law 111–8, $41,300,000 from Public 

Law 110–252 and $921,500,000 from Public Law 111–32, of which $91,000,000 is for programs 

and activities requested for fiscal year 2010. 

The Committee recommends $1,724,150,000 for Embassy Security, Construction, and Maintenance for the management of real 

property assets overseas in order to provide diplomatic and consular missions with secure, safe, and functional facilities, of which 

$876,850,000 is for maintenance and planning for Department of 

State facilities and $847,300,000 is for worldwide security upgrades, acquisition, and construction program. 

Environmental Health Hazards.—In prioritizing the construction 

of NECs, the Committee directs the Department of State to consider accelerating those projects where existing facilities pose an 

environmental health hazard to personnel, as in Mongolia. 

Pakistan/Peshawar.—The Committee recognizes the necessity 

for secure facilities in Peshawar, and provided $131,000,000 for 

such purposes in Public Law 111–32, an amount that exceeded the 

supplemental budget request by $90,900,000. The Committee 

therefore recommends no funding for such purposes in fiscal year 

2010. 

Soft Targets.—The Committee recommends $6,500,000 for security enhancement to soft targets such as overseas schools and residential compounds, an increase of $2,000,000 above the budget request. The Committee directs that additional funds be used in 

countries and regions impacted by political instability. 

EMERGENCIES IN THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $9,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 10,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 10,000,000 

The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for Emergencies in the 

Diplomatic and Consular Service, which is equal to the budget request, to meet unforeseen emergency requirements as authorized 

by section 4 of the State Department Basic Authorities Act. The 

Committee strongly encourages the Department to prioritize expenditures for evacuations and rewards and to minimize the use of 

this fund for travel and representational expenses. 

BUYING POWER MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $5,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 10,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 10,000,000 

The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for the Buying Power 

Maintenance Account, which is equal to the budget request, to 

manage exchange rate losses in the cost of Department of State operations overseas. 
21 

REPATRIATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $1,353,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1,450,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,450,000 

The Committee recommends $1,450,000 for the Repatriation 

Loans Program Account, which is equal to the budget request, to 

support a direct loan program in accordance with the Credit Reform Act which assists United States citizens overseas in dire need. 

PAYMENT TO THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE IN TAIWAN

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $16,840,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 21,174,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 21,174,000 

The Committee recommends $21,174,000 for the American Institute in Taiwan, which is equal to the budget request, to support 

United States political and security interests, provide consular 

services, and promote exchange programs in Taiwan. 

PAYMENT TO THE FOREIGN SERVICE RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY

FUND

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $157,100,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 158,900,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 158,900,000 

The Committee recommends $158,900,000 for the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Fund, which is equal to the budget 

request, for Department of State and USAID mandatory retirement 

and disability programs. 

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. 1 $1,604,400,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1,797,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,697,000,000 

1The enacted level includes $1,529,400,000 from Public Law 111–8 and $75,000,000 from Public Law 110–252. 

The Committee recommends $1,697,000,000 for Contributions to 

International Organizations, which is $100,000,000 below the budget request, for the assessed costs of U.S. membership in international organizations as authorized by conventions, treaties, or 

specific acts of Congress for fiscal year 2010. 

The Committee notes that the budget request included 

$175,000,000 to synchronize payments to international organizations in the fiscal year in which they are due. Although the Committee was unable to fund the full budget request, it supports this 

goal particularly for organizations that are important to U.S. security interests, such as NATO, the IAEA, and the OPCW. 

REPORT

Organization of American States.—The Committee supports the 

OAS and is concerned with the fiscal difficulties it faces. There is 
22 

also a concern that the OAS may be stretched too thin and that it 

should focus where it can have the most impact, consistent with its 

mission. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a 

report not later than 90 days after enactment of this act, detailing 

OAS advisory contracts signed during the previous 12 months, efforts by the OAS Secretary General to put the OAS on a solid financial footing including by reducing operating expenses, and the 

implementation and progress of OAS projects that receive U.S. 

funding. 

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. 1 $2,388,500,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 2,260,000,000

Afghanistan and Pakistan.—The Committee recommends up to 

$16,000,000 for Pashto and Dari broadcasts targeted toward Afghanistan and northwest Pakistan. 

Cuba.—The Committee is concerned with reports, including by 

the GAO, that United States Government-funded TV and radio 

broadcasts to Cuba are routinely jammed by the Cuban Government and may be having little effect. The Committee includes a 

provision requiring a report on the efficacy of this program, and alternative options for using the funds to reach a larger audience in 

Cuba. The Committee believes that absent reliable data that the 

broadcasts are cost effective, alternative approaches for communicating with the Cuban people, including DVDs, cell phones, and 

other handheld electronic devices should be considered. 

Internet Programs.—The Committee recommends that in the interest of improving relations between the United States and the 

Arab world, and leveraging emergent global online social media 

networks, the Department of State should support efforts which 

seek to increase cross-language (human and machine assisted 
25 

translation) social networking focused on Internet-based social 

media sharing (text, voice, and video), and collaborative media and 

educational projects which use the Internet to bring together Arabic and English journalists and educators. 

Iranian Access.—The Committee recommends up to $8,000,000, 

which includes up to $1,494,000 above the budget request, for 

Radio Farda for activities to support transmission enhancements, 

including through additional satellite channels, if feasible, and increased proxy capacity, to improve the Iranian public’s access to 

broadcasts. These activities should be coordinated with other activities supported by the Department of State to increase communication and information directed to audiences inside Iran. 

National Communications Strategy.—The Committee notes that 

a May 27, 2009 report by the Government Accountability Office 

(GAO–09–679SP) concluded that U.S. strategic communication efforts lack sufficient interagency coordination and planning, and 

definition of roles and responsibilities. The Committee encourages 

the administration to support agency-level plans as part of its national communications strategy, as required by section 1055(a) of 

Public Law 110–417, and to provide the Committee with such information prior to the submission of the fiscal year 2011 budget request. 

The Committee notes that BBG’s performance measurement system is not currently linked to national communication strategy 

goals. The Committee directs that not later than 60 days after enactment of this act, BBG submit a report to the Committee detailing the national strategic communication goals supported by BBG’s 

strategic plan and activities, and which goals, if any, BBG considers inconsistent with its mandate, to include an explanation for 

such inconsistency. 

North Korea.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$8,000,000 for broadcasting into North Korea through RFA Korea 

Service and VOA Korea Service, which is equal to the fiscal year 

2009 level. 

Tibet.—The Committee recommends sufficient funding to continue RFA and VOA Tibetan language services.

Health and Child Survival to combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, avian influenza, global pandemics, and other infectious diseases including neglected tropical diseases, and to reduce child 

mortality, provide voluntary family planning services, address the 

needs of vulnerable children, and improve women’s health. 

GLOBAL HEALTH INITIATIVE

The Committee notes that despite U.S. leadership in saving millions of lives from HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis, thousands 

of children around the world die every day from extreme poverty 

and preventable diseases. A more integrated and sustainable approach to fighting disease, improving basic healthcare, and 
32 

strengthening health systems is necessary. The Committee endorses the President’s Global Health Initiative as an opportunity to 

create a comprehensive and sustainable global health strategy that 

identifies specific initiatives, quantitative goals, and appropriate 

funding levels for global health.

CHILD SURVIVAL AND MATERNAL HEALTH

The Committee recommends $2,414,000,000 for child and maternal health activities under the GHCS account, which is $78,000,000 

above the request. The Committee recognizes that among the most 

useful measures of the effectiveness of a country’s public health 

system is the number of children who die before the age of 5 and 

the number of women who die from pregnancy-related causes. The 

overwhelming majority of such deaths could be prevented with lowcost interventions by trained health care workers. Addressing this 

need should be a priority of USAID’s global health strategy. 

Iodine Deficiency.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$2,000,000 for UNICEF’s IDD program. IDD is the leading preventable cause of mental retardation in children. Funds provided 

through the USAID partnership with UNICEF are preventing the 

mental retardation of millions of children through programs to iodize salt. 

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

eradicate polio, an amount equal to prior fiscal years. Funds should 

be used to provide for the delivery of vaccines and the development 
33 

of the infrastructure necessary to fully implement the program and 

achieve its goals. 

Vaccines and Immunization.—The Committee recommends 

$79,000,000 for a contribution to the GAVI Fund. 

Vitamin A and Other Micronutrients.—The Committee recommends $33,000,000 for USAID’s micronutrient program, of 

which not less than $23,000,000 is for programs related to vitamin 

A deficiency. Vitamin A is essential for the functioning of the immune system and increases children’s resistance to disease and 

blindness. 

Vulnerable Children.—The Committee recommends $15,000,000 

for programs and activities that address the needs of vulnerable 

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

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

FAMILY PLANNING/REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

The Committee recommends a total of $628,457,000 from all accounts in this act for family planning and reproductive health programs, including $50,000,000 for UNFPA. 

HIV/AIDS

The Committee recommends a total of $5,709,000,000 for pro- grams and activities to combat HIV/AIDS, of which $5,359,000,000 

is for PEPFAR and $350,000,000 is for USAID. 

Global Fund.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$700,000,000 in this act for a U.S. contribution to the Global Fund 

to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. 

The Committee supports the Department of State and USAID’s 

ongoing effort to assist the Global Fund to more effectively manage 

the demand side of its budget, and supports the recent creation of 

the Working Group to Manage Supply and Demand. The Committee is concerned with the Fund’s proposal submission and approval process, including the apparent lack of consideration of the 

amount of undisbursed funds that are available for existing programs in countries prior to the approval of new proposals. The 

Committee believes that approving new proposals without analyzing disbursements of existing funds encourages countries to submit an unlimited number of proposals and is an unsustainable programming model. 

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

support programs that prevent mother-to-child transmission 

[PMTCT] of HIV. The Committee directs the Global AIDS Coordinator to provide the funds and technical assistance necessary to expand access to PMTCT services. 

Nutrition.—The Committee notes that nutrition plays a key role 

in maintaining quality of life for people with HIV/AIDS, and intends that HIV/AIDS funds be used for programs that address the 

development and implementation of nutrition support, guidelines, 

and care services for people living with HIV/AIDS. 

Reimbursements.—The Committee understands OGAC has 

agreed to provide USAID reimbursements to cover direct and indirect PEPFAR implementation costs incurred both at headquarters 

and in the field, and expects OGAC and USAID to consult with the 
34 

Committee regarding fiscal year 2010 reimbursement levels in a 

timely manner. 

INFECTIOUS DISEASES

The Committee recommends a total of $973,000,000 for other infectious diseases, including influenza, tuberculosis, malaria, measles, meningitis, and neglected tropical diseases. 

Influenza Pandemic Preparedness and Response.—The Committee provided $50,000,000 for influenza pandemic preparedness 

and response in Public Law 111–32 and recommends $100,000,000 

in this act in anticipation of the continuing spread of Avian Influenza and the H1N1 virus. 

Malaria.—The Committee recommends a total of $585,000,000 

for programs to combat malaria. The Committee directs that these 

funds be made available in accordance with country strategic plans 

incorporating best public health practices including insecticidetreated bed nets, artemisinin combination therapies, and indoor residual spraying, and with significant support for purchase of commodities and equipment. USAID is encouraged to increase its investment in public-private partnerships involved in research, development, access and delivery of anti-malarial medications. 

Neglected Tropical Diseases.—The Committee recommends 

$70,000,000 to support expansion of USAID’s integrated response 

to neglected tropical diseases, including intestinal parasites, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, trachoma, soil 

transmitted helminthes, and leprosy. The Committee recognizes 

the chronic disabilities and economic burden that neglected tropical 

diseases inflict on society and requests to be consulted prior to the 

obligation of funds, including country-specific allocations. 

Sickle Cell Disease.—The Committee recognizes the destabilizing 

nature of sickle cell disease, and recommends USAID work with 

other Federal departments and agencies on a coordinated approach 

to combating the disease in Africa. 

Tuberculosis.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$201,000,000 for programs to combat TB. The Committee supports 

the development of a new, safe, effective and affordable vaccine to 

protect against all strains of TB, including MDR or XDR. USAID 

should consider supporting clinical trials for TB vaccines in developing countries. 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Collaboration.—USAID should expand collaboration with other 

donors and governments to develop new medicines, diagnostics, and 

vaccines for diseases that particularly affect developing countries. 

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

The Committee encourages USAID to conduct external consultations on program priorities and strategies to ensure the most effective use of resources, and to facilitate partnerships between industry and nonprofit product development organizations. 

Water.—The Committee commends USAID for its work to improve access to clean drinking water through household water 

treatment and hygiene programs, and recommends increased fund-
35 

ing for these activities to reduce the high percentage of child morbidity and mortality due to waterborne illnesses. 

REPORTS

Global Fund.—The Committee directs the Global AIDS Coordinator to report to the Committee, not later than 90 days after enactment of this act, on the findings of the Working Group to Manage Supply and Demand, including how future estimates of U.S. 

contributions to the Global Fund will be affected by such findings. 

Health Research and Development.—The Committee directs 

USAID to submit the ‘‘Health-Related Research and Development 

Activities at USAID’’ annual research and development report not 

later than September 30, 2010. 

Microbicides.—The Committee directs the Global AIDS Coordinator to submit a report, not later than 90 days after enactment 

of this act, detailing ways the Department of State can increase its 

role in microbicide development and product access.

PROGRAMS

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY

Biotechnology Research.—The Committee recommends not less 

than $30,000,000 for plant and biotechnology research and development programs to improve food security and income generation, 

particularly in Africa and Asia. 

Collaborative Research Support Programs.—The Committee recommends $31,000,000 for CRSPs to improve food security and income generation, particularly in Africa and Asia. The Committee 

supports research and development on salt-resistant crops and 

ridge tillage land use systems in West and sub-Saharan Africa. The 

Committee recognizes the significance of soil and water management in agricultural development and food security and continues 

to support a CRSP in this area. 
37 

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

Global Crop Diversity Trust.—The Committee recommends 

$10,000,000 for a United States contribution to the Global Crop Diversity Trust’s endowment, which seeks to ensure the viability of 

agriculture worldwide by conserving and making available collections of crop diversity. 

PVOs and Cooperatives.—The Committee directs the USAID Administrator to make grants and cooperative agreements available 

to PVOs and cooperatives to carry out agriculture and rural development programs that meet the objectives of section 103(a)(1) of 

the FAA. 

Water Management Systems.—The Committee recognizes the significant role of efficient water management systems in the promotion of agriculture and food security in developing countries, and 

urges USAID to consider funding medium and long-term water programs through agriculture assistance programs. 

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Cooperative Development Program.—The Committee has long recognized the important role that U.S. cooperatives and credit unions 

play in overseas programs as a means to lift low income people out 

of poverty by mobilizing equity and savings for community-based 

economic growth. The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for 

USAID’s Cooperative Development Program within the Office of 

Private and Voluntary Cooperation. 

Microenterprise Development Programs.—The Committee recommends not less than $265,000,000 from all accounts in this act 

for microfinance and microenterprise development programs for the 

poor, especially women. The Committee directs that 50 percent of 

funds be for grants to private networks, practitioner institutions, 

and NGOs, and that funds be provided for microfinance service providers working with people infected with HIV/AIDS. 

The Committee encourages investment in a variety of financial 

services that allows the poor to save, borrow, and access insurance, 

remittances and other key services. USAID should target half of all 

microfinance and microenterprise funds to the very poor, as required by section 251(c) of the FAA. 

Trade Capacity Building.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$300,149,000 in this act for trade capacity building, including 

$25,000,000 for labor and environmental capacity building for countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. 

EDUCATION

Basic Education.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$800,000,000 in this act for basic education programs, including 

programs aimed at improving early childhood development, primary and secondary education, teacher training and basic skills 

training for adults and out of school youth. 

The Committee recommends continued funding for programs that 

increase access to education for children in sub-Saharan Africa 

through the reduction or elimination of school fees, and which increase access to primary education for girls, including in Ethiopia. 
38 

Higher Education.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$200,000,000 in this act for higher education programs, including 

$25,000,000 for such programs in Africa. Higher education partnerships provide training for faculty and staff, and strengthened institutional management such as revised administrative procedures, 

new degree programs, expanded curricula, and research opportunities. The Committee supports the expansion of programs that establish higher education partnerships between American and foreign higher education institutions including community colleges, 

and recommends $15,000,000 for such partnerships in Africa. Partnerships should be funded on an open, competitive basis, and 

should focus on such fields as agriculture, environment and natural 

resources, engineering, science and technology, health, education 

and teacher training, public administration, and business management and economics. 

Workforce Development.—The Committee recommends USAID 

expand programs that assist youth and adults in acquiring skills 

to find jobs and establish businesses, to include technical and vocational training, workforce readiness activities, and institutional capacity building to provide demand driven workforce development, 

with special consideration to gender issues. USAID should continue 

to support networks among U.S. businesses, education providers 

and civil society and their counterparts in developing countries to 

design and implement workforce development programs for male 

and female youth and adults. 

American Schools and Hospitals Abroad Program.—The Committee continues to recognize the contributions to U.S. foreign policy by institutions funded by the ASHA program. The Committee 

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 program funds for administrative purposes. 

The Committee recommends $23,000,000 for the ASHA program 

in fiscal year 2010, with the expectation that USAID will allocate 

funds under terms and conditions similar to prior fiscal years. The 

Committee underscores that such assistance is not for permanent 

budget support to ASHA recipients, and that proposals shall be 

considered in full and open competition, and in accordance with all 

applicable rules and regulations. 

The Committee recommends that priority be given to institutions 

which demonstrate a need and commitment to private fundraising 

to match government support, and to newer applicants that demonstrate the best of American ideas and practices in the regions 

they serve. The Committee recommends USAID consider proposals 

from the following organizations, among others: American Community School, Lebanon; American University of Beirut; American 

University in Kosovo; Ashdod Emergency Medical Center; EARTH 

University in Costa Rica; Edith Wolfson Medical Center; Feinberg 

Graduate School of the Weizmann Institute of Science; Hadassah 

Medical Organization; Hebrew University; Johns Hopkins University’s Centers in Nanjing, China and Bologna, Italy; Kigali Medical 

University Foundation; Lebanese American University; Robert College; Rosary Sisters Hospital in Jordan; Tel Aviv University; and 

Uganda Program on Cancer and Infectious Diseases. 
39 

CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMS

The Committee recognizes the daunting challenges posed by 

global warming and the urgent need to help developing countries 

reduce carbon emissions, adapt to rising temperatures and sea levels, protect biodiversity, and implement policies and practices for 

the sustainable use of natural resources. The Committee recommends a total of $1,239,500,000 in this act for climate change 

and environment programs and activities administered by USAID, 

the Department of State, and the Department of the Treasury. 

These efforts will also require the participation of the U.S. Forest 

Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and other Federal 

agencies.

42 

Climate Change.—The Committee recommends funding through 

bilateral and multilateral mechanisms for programs and activities 

to promote the sustainable use of renewable energy technologies 

and energy efficient end-use technologies, carbon sequestration, 

and carbon accounting. While the Committee recommends 

$400,000,000 for the Clean Technology Fund, $75,000,000 for the 

Strategic Climate Fund, and $10,000,000 for the Forest Carbon 

Partnership Facility which are managed by the World Bank, the 

Committee is concerned with the Bank’s long history of financing 

electric power plants fueled with coal or other polluting fossil fuels, 

roads, large dams, and petroleum and mining operations in pristine 

areas, and ignoring calls to increase investments in renewable 

technologies. The Bank’s record of consultation with interested 

stake-holders and affected groups also continues to fall short. The 

Committee recommends contributions to these funds because it believes there are no other existing mechanisms capable of managing 

climate change resources focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions on the large scale necessary at this critical time, but it limits 

the use of U.S. funds to only support for zero-carbon technologies 

with the exception of the transportation sector. The use of natural 

gas and other alternative fuels to replace heavily polluting diesel 

buses and trains is encouraged. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Treasury to vigorously promote financing for zero-carbon technologies, many of which are commercially viable, within 

the Clean Technology Fund, as well as changes in the Bank’s lending practices within the energy sector generally. Similar limits are 

imposed on USAID energy programs, for which funds should be 

used, among other purposes, to directly support renewable energy 

technologies such as solar-thermal, wind, small hydro, and geothermal. 

The Committee supports programs and activities to assist developing countries adapt to the effects of global warming, through 

USAID and the Least Developed Countries Fund and the Special 

Climate Change Fund administered by the GEF. The Committee 

notes that the U.S. population produces significant amounts of 

global greenhouse gases, and believes that in addition to providing 

practical solutions to serious challenges facing inhabitants of developing countries with areas of low-elevation, or that are dependent 

on agriculture or already struggling with fresh water scarcity and 

recurrent droughts, support for adaptation programs conveys a recognition of shared responsibility to mitigate the impacts of climate 

change. The Committee anticipates that far more resources will be 

necessary for adaptation programs in the future. 

The Committee directs USAID to review the relationships between population growth and climate change to determine how experience in implementing population-environment activities applies 

to climate change adaptation and to efforts to increase the resilience of local communities to climate change. 

Biodiversity.—The Committee continues to support USAID’s programs and activities to protect biodiversity, including forests, wildlife, and water ecosystems, and recommends a total of $200,000,000 

in fiscal year 2010, which is $5,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 

level. The Committee recommends not less than $25,000,000 for 

USAID’s conservation programs in the Amazon Basin, of which 
43 

$15,000,000 is for the Initiative for Conservation in the Andean 

Amazon and $10,000,000 is for such activities in the Brazilian 

Amazon. In addition, $18,500,000 is recommended for the Congo 

Basin Forest Partnership, including not less than $2,500,000 for 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s program to protect great apes 

in Central Africa. The Committee supports continued funding for 

USAID’s program to protect the habitat of orangutans in Borneo 

and Sumatra, and for USAID’s program to protect wildlife in the 

Boma Jonglei area of Southern Sudan. 

The Committee also recommends additional assistance for developing countries to protect endangered forests, wildlife, and water 

ecosystems through international programs administered by the 

U.S. Forest Service (forest and wildlife conservation) and the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service (multilateral species and migratory bird 

conservation). The Committee encourages support for international 

programs of the U.S. National Park Service (national park management) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 

(coral reefs and marine-protected areas). 

Oceans.—The Committee is aware that CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels and deforestation is changing the acidity of the 

ocean in ways that pose grave threats to fish and other ocean wildlife. The Committee expects the Departments of State and Treasury to coordinate with NOAA on the use of funds for climate 

change programs. The Committee also recommends $10,000,000 for 

the Coral Triangle Initiative. 

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Contracting.—The Committee is concerned that USAID’s increasing reliance on the use of Indefinite Quantity Contracts [IQCs] and 

umbrella grants undermines competitive contracting processes, inhibits the participation of smaller organizations which bring niche 

expertise, and limits creative and innovative approaches to development. Local knowledge and relationships are the basis of effective development efforts, yet IQCs and other large solicitations 

often go to organizations that do not retain a permanent in-country 

presence beyond the scope of a particular project. 

The Committee is further concerned that decisions to utilize 

IQCs and umbrella grants are often made principally for reasons 

of administrative convenience rather than project effectiveness. The 

Committee notes that lack of sufficient administrative resources is 

partly responsible for this loss of diversity in implementing organizations and expects that the additional resources provided for staffing in this act will help to reduce reliance on IQCs and umbrella 

grants. 

Partner Vetting.—The Committee supports effective vetting procedures to prevent U.S. foreign assistance funds from supporting 

individuals or organizations involved in terrorism. Such procedures 

are being implemented in the West Bank and Gaza. The Committee is concerned that USAID plans to put into effect a new PVS 

which, as currently proposed, could have unintended, adverse consequences for assistance programs implemented by NGOs and contractors. In order to ensure a new PVS reflects the right balance 

between security, privacy and effective implementation of assistance programs, the Committee requires a new USAID Adminis-
44 

trator to conduct a review of PVS and consult with affected organizations and Congress. 

Patrick Leahy War Victims Fund.—The Committee continues to 

support the LWVF, administered by USAID, which assists persons 

who are disabled as a result of armed conflict. The Committee recommends $14,000,000 for the LWVF. 

University Programs.—The Committee recommends the Department of State and USAID consider proposals from the following institutions, among others, through a transparent and competitive 

funding process: University of Georgia; University of Iowa; University of South Carolina; Utah State University; Temple University 

School of Law; Flathead Valley Community College; and University 

of Montana. 

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

programs and activities that address the needs of victims of torture. The Committee recommends support for centers for victims of 

torture that provide services consistent with the goals of Public 

Law 106–87. An additional $7,100,000 is recommended for the U.N. 

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

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

from all accounts in this act for water sanitation and supply 

projects pursuant to Public Law 109–121. Funds should be used to 

provide safe water and sanitation in high priority countries, as described in Public Law 109–121, and increasing access to safe drinking water should continue to be the highest priority in the programming of these funds. The Committee intends that funds are 

used to support urban and rural water projects. 

The Committee directs relevant USAID offices and bureaus involved in water-related programs to coordinate on a regular basis. 

Women’s Programs.—The Committee supports programs which 

directly enhance economic opportunities for very poor, poor and 

low-income women in developing countries, including to increase 

women-owned business development; property rights for women; 

women’s access to financial services; women’s ability to benefit 

from global trade; and improve women’s employment benefits and 

conditions. Funds should also be used to provide technical assistance and capacity building for women’s organizations. 

COUNTRIES

PRC.—The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for environment, 

governance, rule of law, and disaster preparedness programs in the 

PRC, and continues current restrictions relating to the export of 

satellites and prohibitions on assistance to the People’s Liberation 

Army. 

Vietnam.—The Committee recommends $20,200,000 for assistance for Vietnam under the DA account, which is $5,000,000 above 

the request. 

REPORTS

Contracting.—The Committee directs USAID to submit a report 

not later than December 1, 2010 detailing all umbrella grants and 

IQCs issued during fiscal year 2010. The Committee also directs 

USAID to postpone awarding any new IQC’s and umbrella grants 
45 

until a new USAID Administrator is confirmed and has consulted 

with the Committee on the use of these funding mechanisms. 

Evaluations.—The Committee directs the USAID Administrator 

to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations and Foreign Relations, not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, 

on USAID’s program review and impact evaluation processes, to include the number of evaluations conducted over the previous fiscal 

year, the office or bureau that conducted the evaluation, the titles 

of those evaluations, the criteria used to choose subjects for evaluation, the methodologies used, and how the results of such evaluations are disseminated to USAID’s staff. Without an analysis of 

what works and why, the Committee does not have confidence that 

assistance funds are achieving their intended development objectives. 

Small and Medium Enterprises.—The Committee directs the 

USAID Administrator to provide a report, not later than 90 days 

after enactment of this act, on data trends that assess performance 

of SMEs in developing countries that receive support from U.S. 

Government programs, and the impact such programs have on economic growth.

fied Sports) and the U.S. Olympic Committee (Paralympic Committee) to work with their partners in developing sports programs 

in developing countries for children and adults with physical or intellectual disabilities.

EMERGENCY CRISES FUND

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. ........................... 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... ........................... 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. $100,000,000 

The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for the Emergency 

Crises Fund, a new fund which will enable the Secretary of State, 

in consultation with the USAID Administrator, to respond to unforeseen complex foreign crises, under certain conditions and after 

consultation with Congress. 

The budget request included $76,000,000 for a Rapid Response 

Fund under the TI account, and an additional $40,000,000 under 

the ESF account for a Stabilization Bridge Fund. The Committee 

supports providing the Secretary of State with flexibility to respond 

to unanticipated requirements, but has consolidated these requests 

within a new fund to provide greater efficiency and oversight by 

both the Department of State and the Congress. 

The Committee notes that the Department of State is establishing crisis prevention and response capabilities in order to as-
47 

sume most if not all of the functions currently funded by the Department of Defense under section 1207 of Public Law 109–163. 

Funds are provided in this act under the CSI, ECF, and TI accounts to support this effort. In order to prevent gaps in the U.S. 

Government’s ability to act expeditiously to prevent crises, the 

Committee emphasizes that funding and authorities provided 

under the ECF and TI accounts may be utilized to carry out crisis 

prevention activities including in locations where no CSI deployment is required. The Committee intends the Departments of State 

and Defense to coordinate formulation and implementation of security and stabilization assistance, as appropriate, whether through 

the utilization of section 1207 or the new capabilities within the 

Department of State.

COUNTRY ISSUES

Afghanistan.—The Committee is convinced that a key factor determining the outcome of reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan is 

the role of women, and intends that improving the status of women 

is a goal of all U.S. assistance programs in the country. The Committee recommends not less than $150,000,000 for assistance for 

Afghan women and girls, and continues provisions in Public Law 

111–32 relating to women and girls. 

The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for the National Solidarity Program, which is in addition to $70,000,000 provided for 

NSP in Public Law 111–32. 

The Committee is concerned with the continuing incidence of civilian casualties from coalition military operations in Afghanistan, 

which have reportedly caused some Afghans to join the Taliban. Investigations of these incidents by the U.S. military have not always 

been thorough. The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for continued support for the Afghan Civilian Assistance Program, which assists families and communities that have suffered losses as a result 

of the military operations. These funds are in addition to 

$12,000,000 provided for ACAP in Public Law 111–32. 

Recognizing that the strength of the Taliban and other extremists depends on their persuasive and threatening messaging, and 

that the counterinsurgency effort will only succeed if the Government of Afghanistan can win the trust of the Afghan people, the 

Committee recommends $10,000,000 for strategic communications 

activities that highlight the constructive efforts of the Government 

of Afghanistan and its international partners to bring security, 

basic services, and rule of law to the Afghan people, and counter 

the extremists’ efforts to recruit terrorists. 

Cambodia.—The Committee recognizes the importance of Cambodia’s political opposition and civil society to Cambodia’s democratic development, and notes the adverse impact the global economic crisis has had in Cambodia. The Committee is particularly 

concerned with a further weakening of these groups caused by decreasing donor support. The Committee requires USAID to submit 

a strategy for supporting civil society in Cambodia, and that priority be given to bolstering and strengthening indigenous NGOs involved in the promotion and protection of human rights, democracy 

and the rule of law. The Committee supports additional funding 

through NGOs to continue to improve the capacity of law enforcement and the judiciary to combat human trafficking, and to provide 

assistance to the victims. 

The Committee remains concerned with allegations of corruption 

and mismanagement at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, and restricts 

a United States contribution on a certification by the Secretary of 

State that credible steps are being taken by the United Nations 

and the Government of Cambodia to address these concerns. 

The Committee supports the decentralization of power in Cambodia, as provided for in the 2001 Law on Khum/Sangkat Administrative Management. The Committee instructs the Secretary of the 

Treasury to direct the U.S. Executive Directors at each International Financial Institution to ensure that a significant portion 

of assistance provided for Cambodia is made in accordance with de-
50 

velopment plans established by Khum/Sangkat Councils, as appropriate, and are managed by such Councils independently and without interference from the central Government of Cambodia. 

Cyprus.—The Committee continues to support assistance for 

scholarships, administrative support of the scholarship program, 

bicommunal projects, and measures aimed at reunification of the 

island of Cyprus, reducing tension and promoting peace and cooperation. The Committee is aware of concerns that some projects 

on Cyprus may have been funded without advance consultation 

with the Government of Cyprus and recommends that such consultation occur whenever practicable in the interest of transparency 

in the allocation of funds. The Committee intends that with respect 

to the provision of assistance, the organizations implementing such 

assistance and the specific nature of that assistance shall not be 

subject to the prior approval of any foreign government. 

Democratic Republic of the Congo.—The Committee remains concerned with the incidence of sexual violence against women and 

girls in the DRC, and recommends $3,000,000 for USAID to expand 

activities that assist the victims. 

Haiti.—The Committee recommends a total of $282,393,000 from 

titles III and IV of this act for assistance for Haiti, including 

$18,500,000 in INCLE funds, which is $25,049,000 above the budget request. The Committee recommends continued support for programs and activities to reduce pre-trial detention, provide health 

care and sanitation, and make other improvements to the deplorable conditions in Haiti’s prisons. 

Iraq.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for continued support for the Marla Ruzicka Iraqi War Victims Fund, which assists 

families and communities that suffer losses resulting from the military operations. As U.S. and coalition forces withdraw from Iraq, 

the Committee directs USAID to pursue options for future Iraqi 

management and support of this program to assist innocent victims, either through Iraqi NGOs or the government. 

The Committee supports the $90,000,000 budget request for democracy, human rights, and women’s programs in Iraq. 

The Committee recommends not more than $50,000,000 for 

USAID’s Ministerial Capacity Development program, which is 

$35,000,000 below the budget request, and believes that the Government of Iraq should support such training and development programs in the future. 

Lebanon.—The Committee provides $109,000,000 for assistance 

for Lebanon, of which not less than $10,000,000 is for scholarships 

for students in Lebanon with high financial need, including at 

American educational institutions. These funds are to be awarded 

through an open and competitive process. 

The Committee continues to support the work of the U.S. Forest 

Service in forest and wildlife conservation in Lebanon, and recommends $500,000 for these activities. 

Nepal.—The Committee recommends $27,000,000 for assistance 

for Nepal, of which not less than $1,500,000 should be made available to support capacity building of Nepali civil society organizations. 

North Korea.—No funds are provided in this act for energy-related assistance for North Korea. 
51 

The Committee recommends up to $4,000,000 to promote democracy, human rights and the development of a market economy in 

North Korea, as authorized by Public Law 110–346. Of this 

amount, $2,000,000 is for grants for such purposes, and $2,000,000 

is to increase access to information inside North Korea. Such programs may include appropriate educational and cultural exchange 

programs with North Korean participants, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by law. 

Pakistan.—The Committee recommends continuing and expanding programs funded under DRL and USAID for programs and activities that support the development of independent media in 

Pakistan. 

The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for assistance through 

NGOs for civilians who suffer losses as a result of the military operations, and directs the Secretary of State to consult with the 

Committee prior to the obligation of funds. 

The Committee directs the Department of State and USAID, as 

appropriate, to support programs that address extremism within 

madrassas in Pakistan, to be awarded on a fully competitive basis. 

Philippines.—The Committee recommends a portion of ESF 

funds to support conflict resolution activities in Mindanao and to 

expand judicial training programs. 

Tibet.—The Committee recommends $7,500,000 for activities implemented by NGOs which preserve cultural traditions and promote sustainable development and environmental conservation in 

Tibetan communities in the Tibetan Autonomous Region and in 

other Tibetan communities in China. The Committee intends these 

funds to be awarded competitively to multiple grantees. 

Tunisia.—The Committee recommends $2,000,000 for assistance 

for Tunisia, which is $2,000,000 above the budget request, for programs and activities in southern Tunisia, and to promote respect 

for human rights. 

Vietnam.—The Committee recommends $3,000,000 for continued 

environmental remediation of dioxin contaminated sites and related health programs. The Committee notes that the United 

States and Vietnamese governments have worked cooperatively for 

many years to locate and identify remains of American MIAs since 

the war. There are also reportedly some 3 million Vietnamese 

MIAs, and the Committee recommends funding for technical and 

other assistance to the Government of Vietnam for the purpose of 

locating and identifying Vietnamese MIAs from both sides of the 

conflict. 

West Bank and Gaza.—The Committee continues current law restrictions on assistance for the West Bank and Gaza, as contained 

in Public Law 111–8 and Public Law 111–32. 

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Conflict Diamonds.—The Committee recommends $3,000,000 to 

implement the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, including 

by strengthening the role and capacity of civil society groups in the 

Kimberley Process. 

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

for disability programs, of which $2,500,000 should be made available for programs and activities administered by USAID through 
52 

foreign missions to address the needs and protect and promote the 

rights of people with disabilities in developing countries, and 

$1,500,000 should be designated to support people with disabilities 

and disabled persons organizations in developing countries on 

issues of independent living, advocacy, education, and accessible 

transportation through partnerships with disability advocacy organizations that have expertise and experience in these areas. The 

Committee recommends continuation of the current practice that at 

least 25 percent of USAID foreign mission funds be dispersed in 

small grants. In addition, the Committee recommends $1,000,000 

to develop, support and strengthen sports programs for people with 

disabilities in developing countries. 

MEPI.—The Committee recommends funds to continue regional programs traditionally managed by MEPI, of which $8,000,000 

should be used to continue a scholarship program to educate students from countries with significant Muslim populations, including at American educational institutions in those countries. These 

funds are to be awarded through an open and competitive process. 

The Secretary of State is directed to report to the Committee on coordination with other offices responsible for funding similar programs. 

Middle East Regional Cooperation Program.—The Committee 

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

Near East Regional Democracy.—The Committee recommends 

not less than $30,000,000 to expand access to information and communications through the Internet, to be awarded on an open and 

competitive basis that includes proof of actual performance in delivering access to large numbers of users living in closed societies that 

have hostile Internet environments. The Committee further expects 

that awards of the funds will be based on a showing that the applicant will, within 1 year of the date of the award, be able to generate sufficient capacity to provide Internet access to tens of millions of closed society residents in acutely hostile Internet environments. The Committee also notes the importance of the applicant’s 

system being able to withstand countermeasures from closed society regimes. 

Reconciliation Programs.—The Committee recommends 

$25,000,000 for reconciliation programs and activities which bring 

together and facilitate direct communication between individuals of 

different ethnic, religious and political backgrounds in countries affected by civil strife and war, of which $9,000,000 is for such programs and activities in the Middle East. This global program seeks 

to promote understanding, mutual respect and reconciliation 

through the active participation, dialogue and problem solving of 

members of opposing groups. 

Trafficking in Persons.—The Committee recommends 

$12,000,000 for programs to prevent trafficking in persons consistent with Public Law 106–386. 

Volunteers for Prosperity.—The Committee is aware that the Volunteers for Prosperity program was authorized after the fiscal year 

2010 budget request was finalized. The Committee recommends 

USAID support VFP, and directs USAID to consult with the Committee not later than 60 days after enactment of this act on the implementation of this program. 
53 

Wheelchairs.—The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for 

wheelchair programs in developing countries. The Committee intends funding for wheelchair programs to be allocated through a 

fully open and competitive process based on merit. The Committee 

supports funding that provides quality, low-cost wheelchairs benefiting as many people as possible, and which encourages local initiative, utilizes appropriate technologies, and are sustainable. 

REPORTS

The Committee directs the Department of State and USAID, as 

instructed, to submit the following reports: 

Afghan Women and Girls.—The Committee directs the Secretary 

of State to submit a report not later than December 1, 2010, detailing the uses of funds from all accounts in this act for programs to 

improve the status of Afghan women and girls, including to prevent 

discrimination and violence against women and girls and to assist 

the victims; provide economic and leadership opportunities; increase participation of women in the political progress at the national, provincial and sub-provincial levels and in efforts to improve 

security; and other programs designed specifically to benefit women 

and girls; and the results achieved. 

Civilian Compensation.—The Committee strongly encourages a 

coordinated approach by the Departments of State and Defense regarding condolence payments and other assistance to civilians who 

suffer losses as a result of United States and coalition military operations, as recommended in SIGIR report 09–019, and directs the 

Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, 

to submit a report to the Committee not later than 180 days after 

enactment of this act on steps taken to standardize and coordinate

1 Not available. 

North Caucasus.—The Committee notes that political and ethnic 

violence continue to cause suffering and forced displacement in the 

North Caucasus, and recommends $9,000,000 to support USAID 
56 

programs. The Committee intends funds to be used for immediate 

and long-term basic services for conflict-affected populations, and 

requests to be consulted on the proposed uses of funds.

COUNTRY ISSUES

Colombia.—The Committee continues to support substantial assistance for Colombia, and notes the progress made in improving 

security in many parts of the country. For fiscal year 2010, the 

Committee recommends a total of $509,495,000 for assistance for 

Colombia, including $199,000,000 under the ESF account, 

$1,695,000 under the IMET account, $53,805,000 under the FMF 

account, $248,500,000 under the INCLE account, and $6,495,900 

under the NADR account. The Committee notes that the TI, MRA 

and NADR accounts contain notwithstanding authority, but any 

additional assistance from those accounts is subject to the Committee’s regular notification procedures. 

The Committee is aware that United States assistance is helping 

Colombia build state presence in ungoverned territories through 

the Government of Columbia’s Center for Coordination of Integrated Action. Achieving this goal will require the CCAI to increase 

civilian government agencies’ participation in decisionmaking, 

funding, and on-the-ground presence, and to do more to address 

inter-agency coordination. CCAI will not succeed if, in practice, it 

is a mostly military effort. Reports of human rights abuses in CCAI 

zones, including forced displacement and increased paramilitary 

presence, should be investigated and punished. 

The Committee is concerned with the continuing influence of illegal drug cultivation, production and trafficking, and related corruption, throughout Colombian society. Despite significant United 

States assistance, the flow of large amounts of illicit drugs to the 

United States continues, and the violence associated with it 

plagues large areas of Colombia while it has also spread to other 

parts of Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. A measure 

of the continuing severity of the problem is the large number of Colombian refugees and IDPs fleeing drug-related violence. The Committee recommends additional assistance for these vulnerable 

groups. 
58 

The Committee is concerned that the Colombian army has been 

implicated in a pattern of extra-judicial killings of civilians. While 

the Ministry of Defense has taken steps to prevent these crimes, 

few officers have been punished. There are also reports that the 

Presidential Intelligence Service [DAS] has engaged in illegal surveillance of human rights defenders, judges, journalists and others. 

The Committee continues restrictions on 30 percent of the military 

assistance for Colombian, and adds restrictions on assistance to the 

DAS. 

The Committee again recommends funding for the Fiscalia, 

Procuraduria, and Defensor del Pueblo to support efforts to investigate and hold accountable those responsible for violations of 

human rights. The Committee also recommends $8,000,000 under 

the INCLE account for continued support of USAID’s human rights 

activities, which is equal to the fiscal year 2008 level, and expects 

these funds to be transferred promptly to USAID. The Committee 

requests to be consulted prior to the obligation of funds.

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

CICIG to investigate illegal armed forces, clandestine criminal organizations and public corruption and collaborate with the Government of Guatemala in the investigation, prosecution and punishment of those responsible for such crimes, including drug trafficking. The Department of State, USAID and the Department of 

Justice should assist CICIG through the detail of FBI agents, prosecutors and forensics specialists, and also in determining the requirements for a special court with adequately vetted, protected 

and supported prosecutors and judges to address the most serious 

crimes involving organized crime, drug traffickers and public corruption. 

Iraq.—The Committee recommends $52,000,000 for programs 

and activities in Iraq, as requested, and understands that subsequent fiscal year budget requests under this account may increase 

as the Department of State assumes programmatic responsibility 

for the training of Iraqi security forces. None of the funds provided 

shall be used for construction costs. 

Merida Initiative.— 

—Central America.—The Committee recommends $75,000,000 

under the Merida Initiative for the countries of Central America, including Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and 

$15,000,000 for continued support of the Economic and Social 

Development Fund. The Committee is concerned that the countries of Central America have yet to provide clear strategies for 

utilizing assistance under the Merida Initiative. 

The Committee supports the use of Merida Initiative funds 

for youth violence prevention programs. The Committee notes 

that Central American police forces suffer from inadequate resources, poor training, corruption and lack of accountability. In 
60 

order to effectively counter gang violence, extortion, drug trafficking and other major crimes, these police forces need to 

strengthen their institutional structures, including through 

leadership development, management and planning, and internal and external controls. —Mexico.—The Committee recommends $105,000,000 under the 

INCLE account for continued support for Mexico as part of the 

Merida Initiative, and notes that $354,000,000 requested for 

Mexico for fiscal year 2010 was included in Public Law 111– 

32. The Committee continues to support efforts to combat drugrelated violence and organized crime in Mexico, but remains 

skeptical that such efforts can succeed if the traffic in guns 

from, and the demand for drugs in, the United States continue 

unabated. The Committee notes that the Merida Initiative was 

designed as a 3-year program, but the deeply rooted problems 

it seeks to address will take far longer to solve. The Committee 

believes that realistic goals and credible metrics for measuring 

progress are necessary. 

The Committee is disappointed that the Government of Mexico has not yet met the human rights requirements in previous 

appropriations acts. Similar requirements are included in this 

act. The Committee is particularly concerned that the Mexican 

military and police forces remain largely unaccountable to the 

judicial system. Cases of extra-judicial killings, rape and other 

egregious crimes allegedly committed by government forces, including those investigated and recommended for prosecution by 

the National Human Rights Commission, remain unresolved. 

West Bank.—The Committee recommends $100,000,000 to continue training and equipping (non-lethal) of the National Security 

Forces associated with the Palestinian Authority. 

PROGRAM ISSUES

Demand Reduction Programs.—The Committee recommends 

$12,500,000 for demand reductions programs, an amount equal to 

the budget request. The Committee notes the importance of these 

programs in predominantly Muslim countries, and in reducing drug 

abuse by women. 

International Law Enforcement Academies.—The Committee recommends $36,700,000 for the ILEAs, which is $500,000 above the 

budget request. The Committee intends the additional funds, for a 

total of $4,500,000, to be used to support the ILEA in Roswell, New 

Mexico to expand student participation, purchase critical learning 

materials, replace outdated computer equipment, and implement 

distance learning programs. 

REPORTS

The Committee directs the Department of State, as instructed, to 

submit the following reports: 

Merida Initiative.— 

—Central America.—The Committee directs the Secretary of 

State to submit a report not later than 45 days after enactment of this act, for each of the countries of Central America 

receiving assistance under the Merida Initiative, including 

Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The report should detail the 
61 

threats or problems to be addressed, realistic goals and 

planned actions to achieve them (including planned uses of 

U.S. assistance), amounts to be invested by the countries themselves, and expected results. —Mexico.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State, not 

later than 180 days after enactment of this act, to submit a report detailing the uses of Merida funds in Mexico, progress to 

date, any planned adjustments in the uses of funds, and postMerida plans including anticipated funding requirements for 

Mexico and the Central American countries for the next 3 fiscal years. —Mexican Federal Registry of Police Personnel.—In fiscal year 2008, the Congress provided $3,000,000 for technical and other 

assistance to enable the Government of Mexico to create a unified national police registry. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report not later than 45 days after 

enactment of this act, detailing the extent to which the Mexican Federal Registry of Police Personnel is operational and effective, particularly for vetting police at the national, state and 

municipal levels to prevent rehiring from one force to another 

after dismissal for corruption or other causes. The report 

should also describe mechanisms in place to investigate, sanction or retrain police who do not pass performance evaluations 

implemented through police evaluation centers (centros de control de confianza). 

PROPOSALS

The Committee is aware of proposals from the following organizations, which shall be considered in full and open competition, and 

in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations: 

Equitas.—For continued support of forensic work to locate and 

identify victims of the armed conflict in Colombia. 

National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.—To prevent 

crimes against children on the Internet.

The Committee supports NADR programs and activities that directly contribute to U.S. security in a targeted and cost efficient 

manner, and which provide assistance to countries severely contaminated with unexploded ordnance. The Committee encourages 

the administration to continue to improve the coordination of international counterterrorism programs among and between relevant 

Federal agencies, and to submit future budget requests under the 

Department of State and USAID’s jurisdiction for such activities in 

a more clear and concise manner. 

Biosecurity Engagement Program.—The Committee recommends 

$37,000,000 for the BEP, $2,000,000 above the budget request, and 

recommends not less than $6,000,000 to continue biological threat 

reduction assistance programs in Pakistan. 

Humanitarian Demining.—The Committee directs the Secretary 

of State to consult with the Committee on the appropriate criteria 

for allocating funds for humanitarian demining and other UXO removal programs. 

Iraqi Scientist Engagement Program.—The Committee supports 

the $615,000 requested for this program, but believes the Government of Iraq should fully bear this cost and encourages the Secretary of State to secure reimbursement from the Government of 

Iraq for this program. 

ITF.—The Committee recommends $12,000,000 for the ITF, and 

notes this would bring the total U.S. assistance for the ITF to more 

than $140,000,000. The Committee recognizes the ITF’s success 

and that it is nearing completion of its mission to make the countries of southeastern Europe mine-safe. The Committee intends any 
63 

future U.S. assistance for the ITF after fiscal year 2010 to be provided through an open and competitive process. 

Laos.—The Committee notes that Laos is among the countries 

most severely contaminated with UXO due to tens of millions of 

U.S. cluster munitions and bombs dropped during the Vietnam 

War. These remnants of war have caused tens of thousands of casualties, including children, and hundreds of new casualties each 

year, yet Laos has received only a small fraction of total U.S. assistance for UXO removal. The Committee directs the Department 

to provide not less than $6,000,000 for UXO removal in Laos in fiscal year 2010, and to plan for similar or higher levels of funding 

in future years. 

REPORT

Small Arms/Light Weapons.—The Committee supports increased 

funding for programs to destroy small arms and light weapons, and 

directs the Secretary of State to submit a report to the Committee 

not later than 45 days after enactment of this act detailing the proposed uses of funds. 

MIGRATION AND REFUGEE ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. 1 $1,671,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1,480,444,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,677,800,000 

1The enacted level includes $931,000,000 from Public Law 111–8, $350,000,000 from Public 

Law 110–252 and $390,000,000 from Public Law 111–32. 

The Committee recommends $1,677,800,000 for Migration and 

Refugee Assistance, which is $197,356,000 above the request. 

The Committee is concerned with the suffering of all refugees 

and IDPs, and notes that refugees and IDPs with disabilities have 

particular difficulties obtaining services. The Committee directs the 

Secretary of State and USAID Administrator to work with other 

governments and humanitarian organizations to ensure that assistance programs take into account the special needs of persons with 

disabilities and that they are included in the design and implementation of programs. 

Burma.—The Committee remains concerned with refugees and 

IDPs in Burma and Thailand, and recommends the Secretary of 

State provide assistance to meet these needs in a timely manner. 

Colombia.—The Committee recommends additional assistance for 

Colombian IDPs and refugees. 

Migrants to Israel.—The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for 

migrants to Israel, the amount requested, to be awarded through 

an open and competitive process. According to the Department of 

State, the number of migrants to Israel has declined from approximately 184,000 in 1990 to 7,300 in 2008. No funds may be used to 

support migrants who reside in settlements or outposts in the West 

Bank. The Committee supports assistance consistent with the conditions that have applied to the program since its inception in 1973 

that all funds be spent in Israel. 

North Korea.—The Committee recommends that assistance be 

made available for North Korean refugees, as authorized by Public 

Law 110–346. 
64 

The Committee is disappointed with the low number of North 

Korean refugees that have resettled in the United States since the 

enactment of Public Law 110–346, which directs the Department of 

State to facilitate such resettlements. The Committee directs the 

Secretary of State to significantly increase the number of resettlements, consistent with the law. 

Refugee Resettlement.—The Committee is concerned with the lack 

of sufficient resources for Iraqi and other refugees resettling in the 

United States due to funding shortfalls of resettlement organizations caused by the financial crises, and directs the Department of 

State to consult with the Committee on efforts to address this need. 

Tibetan Refugees.—The Committee supports assistance for Tibetan refugees who have fled their homeland and are in transit in 

Nepal or resettled in India. 

REPORT

North Korea.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State to 

submit a report, not later than 60 days after enactment of this act, 

detailing the measures and improvements to be taken by the Department of State to facilitate a significant increase in the admission and resettlement of North Korean refugees to the United 

States.

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 75,000,000

The Committee recommends $75,000,000 for United States 

Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance, which is equal to 

the budget request. 

INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

PEACE CORPS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $340,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 373,440,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 373,440,000 

The Committee recommends $373,440,000 for the Peace Corps, 

which is equal to the budget request and $33,440,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level. 

The Committee strongly supports the mission of the Peace Corps, 

which can be as relevant today in promoting American values 

abroad as it was when it was founded almost a half century ago. 

But the world has changed significantly since then, and the Peace 

Corps needs to adapt to the 21st century. Past efforts by the Committee to encourage the Peace Corps to reform and make better use 

of resources have been ignored. A new Director with a new vision, 

who recognizes the need for reform, supports transparency and 

seeks a constructive relationship with Congress, is urgently needed. 
65 

The Committee is aware that some have called for a large increase in funding above the amount requested by the President for 

fiscal year 2010, in order to send volunteers to new countries. Very 

few of such countries are safe enough or otherwise ready to host 

volunteers, and there are hundreds of volunteers currently serving 

in countries with little if any strategic importance to the United 

States who could be used more effectively. At a time of intense 

pressures on a limited budget, each volunteer costs the U.S. Government $50,000 a year. Each dose of vaccine for measles, which 

threatens hundreds of millions of children in poor countries and 

needlessly kills 200,000 children annually, costs a few dollars. This 

is but one of the many difficult funding choices the Committee 

faced, yet its recommendation for the Peace Corps is the largest 

percentage increase in the Peace Corps’ budget since 1993. The 

Committee believes that reform, not dramatic increases in funding 

in a single year, is the Peace Corps’ most urgent need. 

The Committee expects to recommend additional increases in 

funding to support the goal of doubling the Peace Corps, including 

sending more volunteers to countries with large Muslim populations, once it is clear that a new Director is providing the leadership the Peace Corps needs. 

MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE CORPORATION

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $875,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1,425,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 950,000,000 

The Committee recommends $950,000,000 for the Millennium 

Challenge Corporation, which is $475,000,000 below the request 

and $75,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level. Not more than 

$95,000,000 shall be used for administrative expenses. 

The Committee expects the MCC to support new compacts currently under development with Jordan, Malawi and the Philippines 

with fiscal year 2010 funding, if eligibility criteria are met. 

In Public Law 111–32, the Committee provided the Secretary of 

State with authority to reprogram MCC funding to address the 

global financial crisis before allocating ESF assistance for this purpose, and continues this authority in this act. 

The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2010 budget request for 

the MCC is more fully justified than in previous fiscal years and 

appreciates the Corporation’s efforts to plan strategically. 

The Committee supports the MCC’s efforts to address pre-implementation and development costs prior to the start of a compact, 

and believes these efforts will assist the Corporation in disbursing 

compact funds more effectively. The Committee remains concerned 

with the projected size of compacts and questions the MCC’s ability 

to effectively disburse such large sums within 5 years. 

The Committee supports the MCC Board of Directors’ decision to 

partially terminate assistance to Nicaragua and to suspend funding 

for Armenia due to failure to adhere to the MCC’s eligibility criteria, and appreciates MCC’s adherence to its core principles. As 

the MCC’s availability of funds has increased due to the suspension 

and termination of these compacts, the Committee recommends the 
66 

MCC re-obligate funds for use for new compacts requested in fiscal 

year 2010 after consultation with the Committee. 

The Committee notes that section 605(e) of the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 restricts the use of MCC funds for military assistance and training. While the act is silent on dual-use issues, such 

as posed by the airport renovation project in Mali, the Committee 

is concerned that dual-use investments could be used in contravention of U.S. national security interests should there be a change in 

government or political unrest in an MCC compact country. To provide clarification on this issue, the Committee prohibits the use of 

MCC funds for any military assistance and training, including for 

dual-use purposes. The Committee considers this clarification to be 

consistent with the intent of section 605(e) which does not provide 

any exceptions allowing MCC economic assistance funds to be commingled with other funds (such as national funds or military assistance funds). The Committee directs the MCC to consult with the 

Committee on any ongoing MCC projects that may be of a dual-use 

nature. 

REPORTS

The Committee directs the MCC to provide a report to the Committee not later than 90 days after enactment of this act on the 

total funding and proposed uses of funding de-obligated from Compacts that the Board has terminated because the country failed to 

meet the MCC’s governance standards. 

Funding will not be obligated for the MCC until the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation provides a report to the Committee 

listing proposed candidate countries to receive assistance, the level 

of assistance proposed for each country, a description of proposed 

activities, and the U.S. implementing agencies. The Committee expects the MCC to reimburse USAID for expenses incurred supporting MCC activities.

Trust Fund, and Tropical Forest Conservation Act debt reduction 

programs, which is $50,630,000 below the budget request and 

equal to the fiscal year 2009 level. The Committee recommends

Education and Training, which is $5,133,000 below the budget request. 

The Gambia.—The Committee notes with concern the harassment of journalists and deterioration of press freedom in The Gambia, particularly the 3-year incommunicado detention of Mr. 

Ebrima Manneh, a reporter for the Gambian newspaper The Daily 

Observer. Reversal of this trend, and the release of Mr. Manneh, 

will be considered by the Committee in assessing continued United 

States assistance for The Gambia. 

Turkey.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for assistance 

for Turkey, which is $1,000,000 above the budget request.

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

and equipment provided to foreign security forces, but is concerned 

that the vetting process is uneven among U.S. Embassies and falls 

short in some countries where the military or police have a history 

of human rights violations. The Committee also notes that the 
70 

budget request includes FMF assistance for eight countries in Africa that have not received FMF in recent years. The Committee recommends transfer of not less than $2,000,000 to DRL for training 

and other personnel resources to strengthen the vetting process, 

which continues an initiative begun in fiscal year 2008. 

COUNTRY ISSUES

Indonesia.—The Committee notes the progress Indonesia has 

made in strengthening democracy, combating extremism, and addressing other challenges including illegal logging. Military reform 

has lagged behind, however. The Committee recommends 

$20,000,000 for assistance for Indonesia, which is $4,300,000 above 

the fiscal year 2009 level and equal to the budget request. Of this 

amount, $2,000,000 is withheld from obligation until the Secretary 

of State reports in writing to the Committees on Appropriations 

pursuant to section 7071(d) of this act on— 

—Steps taken by the Government of Indonesia to revise the Code 

of Military Justice, Uniform Criminal Code and other relevant 

statutes, to permit trials of members of the military alleged to 

have committed violations of internationally recognized human 

rights in civilian courts and to deny promotion, suspend from 

active service, and/or pursue prosecution of military officers indicted for serious crimes, and to refine further the mission of 

the Armed Forces and develop an appropriate national defense 

budget to carry out that mission; 

—Efforts by the Armed Forces to cooperate with civilian judicial 

authorities and with international efforts to resolve cases of 

violations of internationally recognized human rights; 

—Efforts by the Government to implement reforms that increase 

the transparency and accountability of the Armed Forces’ operations and financial management and concrete steps taken to 

achieve divestment of all military businesses; and 

—Whether the Government of Indonesia is allowing public access 

to Papua, including foreign diplomats, NGOs, and journalists. 

Philippines.—The Committee commends efforts by the Government of the Philippines to prevent extra-judicial executions, and 

notes that the incidence of such crimes has fallen. The Committee 

believes that further efforts are needed, particularly accountability 

for such crimes to promote respect for the rule of law. 

The Committee recommends $33,000,000 for assistance for the 

Philippines, which is $3,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level 

and $14,350,000 above the budget request. Of this amount, 

$2,000,000 may not be obligated until the Secretary of State reports in writing to the Committees on Appropriations pursuant to 

section 7071(i) of this act that— 

—The Government of the Philippines is continuing to take effective steps to implement the recommendations of the United 

Nations Special Rapporteur on Extra-judicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, to include prosecutions and convictions for 

extra-judicial executions, sustaining the decline in the number 

of extra-judicial executions, addressing allegations of a death 

squad in Davao City, and strengthening government institutions working to eliminate extra-judicial executions; 
71 

—The Government of the Philippines is implementing a policy of 

promoting military personnel who demonstrate professionalism 

and respect for internationally recognized human rights, and is 

investigating, prosecuting, and punishing military personnel 

and others who have been credibly alleged to have violated 

such rights; and 

—The Armed Forces of the Philippines do not have a policy of, 

and are not engaging in, acts of violence or intimidation 

against members of legal organizations who advocate for 

human rights. 

Vietnam.— The Committee recognizes the shared security interests of the United States and Vietnam in Southeast Asia, and encourages increases in FMF assistance for Vietnam in subsequent 

fiscal years. 

Yemen.—The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for assistance 

for Yemen, which is $5,000,000 above the budget request. 

REPORTS

Human Rights Vetting.—The Committee directs the Department 

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

of this act detailing the appropriate number of Embassy personnel 

to carry out vetting procedures under the Leahy amendment in 

each country receiving IMET or FMF assistance. The Department 

should include any criteria used to determine the appropriate number of personnel, including assistance levels and the incidence of 

human rights concerns. 

Morocco.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report not later than 45 days after enactment of this act, detailing steps taken by the Government of Morocco in the previous 

12 months to continue to make progress on human rights, and 

whether it is allowing all persons to advocate freely their views regarding the status and future of the Western Sahara through the 

exercise of their rights to peaceful expression and association, and 

to document violations of human rights in the territory without 

harassment.

Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.—The Committee supports the role of the OSCE in advancing United States 

interests, including the promotion of human rights, democratic gov-
73 

ernance, and the rule of law as well as efforts to combat human 

trafficking, sexual exploitation of children, and anti-semitism and

DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING 

ITEMS 

The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the purse. 

The Committee believes strongly that Congress should make the 

decisions on how to allocate the people’s money. 

As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the 

term ‘‘congressional directed spending item’’ means a provision or 

report language included primarily at the request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan, loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, 

or other expenditure with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific
