SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) During the last 20 years, HIV/AIDS has assumed pandemic 
        proportions, spreading from the most severely affected regions, 
        sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean, to all corners of the 
        world, and leaving an unprecedented path of death and 
        devastation.
            (2) According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/
        AIDS (UNAIDS), more than 65,000,000 individuals worldwide have 
        been infected with HIV since the epidemic began, more than 
        25,000,000 of these individuals have lost their lives to the 
        disease, and more than 14,000,000 children have been orphaned 
        by the disease. HIV/AIDS is the fourth-highest cause of death 
        in the world.
            (3)(A) At the end of 2002, an estimated 42,000,000 
        individuals were infected with HIV or living with AIDS, of 
        which more than 75 percent live in Africa or the Caribbean. Of 
        these individuals, more than 3,200,000 were children under the 
        age of fifteen and more than 19,200,000 were women.
            (B) Women are four times more vulnerable to infection than 
        are men and are becoming infected at increasingly high rates, 
        in part because many societies do not provide poor women and 
        young girls with the social, legal, and cultural protections 
        against high risk activities that expose them to HIV/AIDS.
            (C) Women and children who are refugees or are internally 
        displaced persons are especially vulnerable to sexual 
        exploitation and violence, thereby increasing the possibility 
        of HIV infection.
            (4) As the leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa, 
        AIDS has killed more than 19,400,000 individuals (more than 3 
        times the number of AIDS deaths in the rest of the world) and 
        will claim the lives of one-quarter of the population, mostly 
        adults, in the next decade.
            (5) An estimated 2,000,000 individuals in Latin America and 
        the Caribbean and another 7,100,000 individuals in Asia and the 
        Pacific region are infected with HIV or living with AIDS. 
        Infection rates are rising alarmingly in Eastern Europe 
        (especially in the Russian Federation), Central Asia, and 
        China.
            (6) HIV/AIDS threatens personal security by affecting the 
        health, lifespan, and productive capacity of the individual and 
        the social cohesion and economic well-being of the family.
            (7) HIV/AIDS undermines the economic security of a country 
        and individual businesses in that country by weakening the 
        productivity and longevity of the labor force across a broad 
        array of economic sectors and by reducing the potential for 
        economic growth over the long term.
            (8) HIV/AIDS destabilizes communities by striking at the 
        most mobile and educated members of society, many of whom are 
        responsible for security at the local level and governance at 
        the national and subnational levels as well as many teachers, 
        health care personnel, and other community workers vital to 
        community development and the effort to combat HIV/AIDS. In 
        some countries the overwhelming challenges of the HIV/AIDS 
        epidemic are accelerating the outward migration of critically 
        important health care professionals.
            (9) HIV/AIDS weakens the defenses of countries severely 
        affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis through high infection rates 
        among members of their military forces and voluntary 
        peacekeeping personnel. According to UNAIDS, in sub-Saharan 
        Africa, many military forces have infection rates as much as 
        five times that of the civilian population.
            (10) HIV/AIDS poses a serious security issue for the 
        international community by--
                    (A) increasing the potential for political 
                instability and economic devastation, particularly in 
                those countries and regions most severely affected by 
                the disease;
                    (B) decreasing the capacity to resolve conflicts 
                through the introduction of peacekeeping forces because 
                the environments into which these forces are introduced 
                pose a high risk for the spread of HIV/AIDS; and
                    (C) increasing the vulnerability of local 
                populations to HIV/AIDS in conflict zones from 
                peacekeeping troops with HIV infection rates 
                significantly higher than civilian populations.
            (11) The devastation wrought by the HIV/AIDS pandemic is 
        compounded by the prevalence of tuberculosis and malaria, 
        particularly in developing countries where the poorest and most 
        vulnerable members of society, including women, children, and 
        those individuals living with HIV/AIDS, become infected. 
        According to the World Health Organization (WHO), HIV/AIDS, 
        tuberculosis, and malaria accounted for more than 5,700,000 
        deaths in 2001 and caused debilitating illnesses in millions 
        more.
            (12) Together, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and related 
        diseases are undermining agricultural production throughout 
        Africa. According to the United Nations Food and Agricultural 
        Organization, 7,000,000 agricultural workers throughout 25 
        African countries have died from AIDS since 1985. Countries 
        with poorly developed agricultural systems, which already face 
        chronic food shortages, are the hardest hit, particularly in 
        sub-Saharan Africa, where high HIV prevalence rates are 
        compounding the risk of starvation for an estimated 14,400,000 
        people.
            (13) Tuberculosis is the cause of death for one out of 
        every three people with AIDS worldwide and is a highly 
        communicable disease. HIV infection is the leading threat to 
        tuberculosis control. Because HIV infection so severely weakens 
        the immune system, individuals with HIV and latent tuberculosis 
        infection have a 100 times greater risk of developing active 
        tuberculosis diseases thereby increasing the risk of spreading 
        tuberculosis to others. Tuberculosis, in turn, accelerates the 
        onset of AIDS in individuals infected with HIV.
            (14) Malaria, the most deadly of all tropical parasitic 
        diseases, has been undergoing a dramatic resurgence in recent 
        years due to increasing resistance of the malaria parasite to 
        inexpensive and effective drugs. At the same time, increasing 
        resistance of mosquitoes to standard insecticides makes control 
        of transmission difficult to achieve. The World Health 
        Organization estimates that between 300,000,000 and 500,000,000 
        new cases of malaria occur each year, and annual deaths from 
        the disease number between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000. Persons 
        infected with HIV are particularly vulnerable to the malaria 
        parasite. The spread of HIV infection contributes to the 
        difficulties of controlling resurgence of the drug resistant 
        malaria parasite.
            (15) HIV/AIDS is first and foremost a health problem. 
        Successful strategies to stem the spread of the HIV/AIDS 
        pandemic will require clinical medical interventions, the 
        strengthening of health care delivery systems and 
        infrastructure, and determined national leadership and 
        increased budgetary allocations for the health sector in 
        countries affected by the epidemic as well as measures to 
        address the social and behavioral causes of the problem and its 
        impact on families, communities, and societal sectors.
            (16) Basic interventions to prevent new HIV infections and 
        to bring care and treatment to people living with AIDS, such as 
        voluntary counseling and testing and mother-to-child 
        transmission programs, are achieving meaningful results and are 
        cost-effective. The challenge is to expand these interventions 
        from a pilot program basis to a national basis in a coherent 
        and sustainable manner.
            (17) Appropriate treatment of individuals with HIV/AIDS can 
        prolong the lives of such individuals, preserve their families, 
        prevent children from becoming orphans, and increase 
        productivity of such individuals by allowing them to lead 
        active lives and reduce the need for costly hospitalization for 
        treatment of opportunistic infections caused by HIV.
            (18) Nongovernmental organizations, including faith-based 
        organizations, with experience in health care and HIV/AIDS 
        counseling, have proven effective in combating the HIV/AIDS 
        pandemic and can be a resource in assisting indigenous 
        organizations in severely affected countries in their efforts 
        to provide treatment and care for individuals infected with 
        HIV/AIDS.
            (19) Faith-based organizations are making an important 
        contribution to HIV prevention and AIDS treatment programs 
        around the world. Successful HIV prevention programs in Uganda, 
        Jamaica, and elsewhere have included local churches and faith-
        based groups in efforts to promote behavior changes to prevent 
        HIV, to reduce stigma associated with HIV infection, to treat 
        those afflicted with the disease, and to care for orphans. The 
        Catholic Church alone currently cares for one in four people 
        being treated for AIDS worldwide. Faith-based organizations 
        possess infrastructure, experience, and knowledge that will be 
        needed to carry out these programs in the future and should be 
        an integral part of United States efforts.
            (20)(A) Uganda has experienced the most significant decline 
        in HIV rates of any country in Africa, including a decrease 
        among pregnant women from 20.6 percent in 1991 to 7.9 percent 
        in 2000.
            (B) Uganda made this remarkable turnaround because 
        President Yoweri Museveni spoke out early, breaking long-
        standing cultural taboos, and changed widespread perceptions 
        about the disease. His leadership stands as a model for ways 
        political leaders in Africa and other developing countries can 
        mobilize their nations, including civic organizations, 
        professional associations, religious institutions, business and 
        labor to combat HIV/AIDS.
            (C) Uganda's successful AIDS treatment and prevention 
        program is referred to as the ABC model: ``Abstain, Be 
        faithful, use Condoms'', in order of priority. Jamaica, Zambia, 
        Ethiopia and Senegal have also successfully used the ABC model. 
        Beginning in 1986, Uganda brought about a fundamental change in 
        sexual behavior by developing a low-cost program with the 
        message: ``Stop having multiple partners. Be faithful. 
        Teenagers, wait until you are married before you begin sex.''.
            (D) By 1995, 95 percent of Ugandans were reporting either 
        one or zero sexual partners in the past year, and the 
        proportion of sexually active youth declined significantly from 
        the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. The greatest percentage 
        decline in HIV infections and the greatest degree of behavioral 
        change occurred in those 15 to 19 years old. Uganda's success 
        shows that behavior change, through the use of the ABC model, 
        is a very successful way to prevent the spread of HIV.
            (21) The magnitude and scope of the HIV/AIDS crisis demands 
        a comprehensive, long-term, international response focused upon 
        addressing the causes, reducing the spread, and ameliorating 
        the consequences of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, including--
                    (A) prevention and education, care and treatment, 
                basic and applied research, and training of health care 
                workers, particularly at the community and provincial 
                levels, and other community workers and leaders needed 
                to cope with the range of consequences of the HIV/AIDS 
                crisis;
                    (B) development of health care infrastructure and 
                delivery systems through cooperative and coordinated 
                public efforts and public and private partnerships;
                    (C) development and implementation of national and 
                community-based multisector strategies that address the 
                impact of HIV/AIDS on the individual, family, 
                community, and nation and increase the participation of 
                at-risk populations in programs designed to encourage 
                behavioral and social change and reduce the stigma 
                associated with HIV/AIDS; and
                    (D) coordination of efforts between international 
                organizations such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, 
                Tuberculosis and Malaria, the Joint United Nations 
                Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Health 
                Organization (WHO), national governments, and private 
                sector organizations, including faith-based 
                organizations.
            (22) The United States has the capacity to lead and enhance 
        the effectiveness of the international community's response 
        by--
                    (A) providing substantial financial resources, 
                technical expertise, and training, particularly of 
                health care personnel and community workers and 
                leaders;
                    (B) promoting vaccine and microbicide research and 
                the development of new treatment protocols in the 
                public and commercial pharmaceutical research sectors;
                    (C) making available pharmaceuticals and 
                diagnostics for HIV/AIDS therapy;
                    (D) encouraging governments and faith-based and 
                community-based organizations to adopt policies that 
                treat HIV/AIDS as a multisectoral public health problem 
                affecting not only health but other areas such as 
                agriculture, education, the economy, the family and 
                society, and assisting them to develop and implement 
                programs corresponding to these needs;
                    (E) promoting healthy lifestyles, including 
                abstinence, delaying sexual debut, monogamy, marriage, 
                faithfulness, use of condoms, and avoiding substance 
                abuse; and
                    (F) encouraging active involvement of the private 
                sector, including businesses, pharmaceutical and 
                biotechnology companies, the medical and scientific 
                communities, charitable foundations, private and 
                voluntary organizations and nongovernmental 
                organizations, faith-based organizations, community-
                based organizations, and other nonprofit entities.
            (23) Prostitution and other sexual victimization are 
        degrading to women and children and it should be the policy of 
        the United States to eradicate such practices. The sex 
        industry, the trafficking of individuals into such industry, 
        and sexual violence are additional causes of and factors in the 
        spread of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. One in nine South Africans is 
        living with AIDS, and sexual assault is rampant, at a 
        victimization rate of one in three women. Meanwhile in 
        Cambodia, as many as 40 percent of prostitutes are infected 
        with HIV and the country has the highest rate of increase of 
        HIV infection in all of Southeast Asia. Victims of coercive 
        sexual encounters do not get to make choices about their sexual 
        activities.
            (24) Strong coordination must exist among the various 
        agencies of the United States to ensure effective and efficient 
        use of financial and technical resources within the United 
        States Government with respect to the provision of 
        international HIV/AIDS assistance.
            (25) In his address to Congress on January 28, 2003, the 
        President announced the Administration's intention to embark on 
        a five-year emergency plan for AIDS relief, to confront HIV/
        AIDS with the goals of preventing 7,000,000 new HIV/AIDS 
        infections, treating at least 2,000,000 people with life-
        extending drugs, and providing humane care for millions of 
        people suffering from HIV/AIDS, and for children orphaned by 
        HIV/AIDS.
            (26) In this address to Congress, the President stated the 
        following: ``Today, on the continent of Africa, nearly 
        30,000,000 people have the AIDS virus--including 3,000,000 
        children under the age of 15. There are whole countries in 
        Africa where more than one-third of the adult population 
        carries the infection. More than 4,000,000 require immediate 
        drug treatment. Yet across that continent, only 50,000 AIDS 
        victims--only 50,000--are receiving the medicine they need.''.
            (27) Furthermore, the President focused on care and 
        treatment of HIV/AIDS in his address to Congress, stating the 
        following: ``Because the AIDS diagnosis is considered a death 
        sentence, many do not seek treatment. Almost all who do are 
        turned away. A doctor in rural South Africa describes his 
        frustration. He says, `We have no medicines. Many hospitals 
        tell people, you've got AIDS, we can't help you. Go home and 
        die.' In an age of miraculous medicines, no person should have 
        to hear those words. AIDS can be prevented. Anti-retroviral 
        drugs can extend life for many years . . .  Ladies and 
        gentlemen, seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to 
        do so much for so many.''.
            (28) Finally, the President stated that ``[w]e have 
        confronted, and will continue to confront, HIV/AIDS in our own 
        country'', proposing now that the United States should lead the 
        world in sparing innocent people from a plague of nature, and 
        asking Congress ``to commit $15,000,000,000 over the next five 
        years, including nearly $10,000,000,000 in new money, to turn 
        the tide against AIDS in the most afflicted nations of Africa 
        and the Caribbean''.

SEC. 101. DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE, FIVE-YEAR, GLOBAL STRATEGY.

    (a) Strategy.--The President shall establish a comprehensive, 
integrated, five-year strategy to combat global HIV/AIDS that 
strengthens the capacity of the United States to be an effective leader 
of the international campaign against HIV/AIDS. Such strategy shall 
maintain sufficient flexibility and remain responsive to the ever-
changing nature of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and shall--
            (1) include specific objectives, multisectoral approaches, 
        and specific strategies to treat individuals infected with HIV/
        AIDS and to prevent the further spread of HIV infections, with 
        a particular focus on the needs of families with children 
        (including the prevention of mother-to-child transmission), 
        women, young people, and children (such as unaccompanied minor 
        children and orphans);
            (2) as part of the strategy, implement a tiered approach to 
        direct delivery of care and treatment through a system based on 
        central facilities augmented by expanding circles of local 
        delivery of care and treatment through local systems and 
        capacity;
            (3) assign priorities for relevant executive branch 
        agencies;
            (4) provide that the reduction of HIV/AIDS behavioral risks 
        shall be a priority of all prevention efforts in terms of 
        funding, educational messages, and activities by promoting 
        abstinence from sexual activity and substance abuse, 
        encouraging monogamy and faithfulness, promoting the effective 
        use of condoms, and eradicating prostitution, the sex trade, 
        rape, sexual assault and sexual exploitation of women and 
        children;
            (5) improve coordination among relevant executive branch 
        agencies, foreign governments, and international organizations;
            (6) project general levels of resources needed to achieve 
        the stated objectives;
            (7) expand public-private partnerships and the leveraging 
        of resources; and
            (8) maximize United States capabilities in the areas of 
        technical assistance and training and research, including 
        vaccine research.

TITLE II--SUPPORT FOR MULTILATERAL FUNDS, PROGRAMS, AND PUBLIC-PRIVATE 
                              PARTNERSHIPS

SEC. 201. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Innovative partnerships between governments and 
        organizations in the private sector (including foundations, 
        universities, corporations, faith-based and community-based 
        organizations, and other nongovernmental organizations) have 
        proliferated in recent years, particularly in the area of 
        health.
            (2) Public-private sector partnerships multiply local and 
        international capacities to strengthen the delivery of health 
        services in developing countries and to accelerate research for 
        vaccines and other pharmaceutical products that are essential 
        to combat infectious diseases decimating the populations of 
        these countries.
            (3) These partnerships maximize the unique capabilities of 
        each sector while combining financial and other resources, 
        scientific knowledge, and expertise toward common goals which 
        neither the public nor the private sector can achieve alone.
            (4) Sustaining existing public-private partnerships and 
        building new ones are critical to the success of the 
        international community's efforts to combat HIV/AIDS and other 
        infectious diseases around the globe.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the sustainment and promotion of public-private 
        partnerships should be a priority element of the strategy 
        pursued by the United States to combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic 
        and other global health crises; and
            (2) the United States should systematically track the 
        evolution of these partnerships and work with others in the 
        public and private sector to profile and build upon those 
        models that are most effective.

SEC. 202. PARTICIPATION IN THE GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS 
                    AND MALARIA.

    (a) Authority for United States Participation.--
            (1) United states participation.--The United States is

        U.S.C. 288).
    (b) Reports to Congress.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for the duration of 
the Global Fund, the President shall submit to the appropriate

contributions pledged to, contributions (including donations from the 
private sector) received by, and projects funded by the Global Fund, 
and the mechanisms established for transparency and accountability in 
the grant-making process.
    (c) United States Financial Participation.--
            (1) Authorization of appropriations.--In addition to any 
        other funds authorized to be appropriated for bilateral or

        there are authorized to be appropriated to the President up to 
        $1,000,000,000 in the fiscal year 2004, and such sums as may be

                paragraph (1).
            (4) Limitation.--

                may cause the total amount of United States Government 
                contributions to the Global Fund to exceed 33 percent 
                of the total amount of funds contributed to the Global 
                Fund from all other sources. Contributions to the 
                Global Fund from the International Bank for 
                Reconstruction and Development and the International

                compliance with this paragraph.
                    (ii) If, at any time during any of the fiscal years 
                2004 through 2008, the President determines that the 
                Global Fund has provided assistance to a country, the 
                government of which the Secretary of State has 
                determined, for purposes of section 6(j)(1) of the 
                Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 
                2405(j)(1)), has repeatedly provided support for acts 
                of international terrorism, then the United States 
                shall withhold from its contribution for the next 
                fiscal year an amount equal to the amount expended by 
                the Fund to the government of each such country.
                    (B) Any amount made available under this subsection 
                that is withheld by reason of subparagraph (A) shall be 
                contributed to the Global Fund as soon as practicable, 
                subject to subparagraph (A), after additional 
                contributions to the Global Fund are made from other 
                sources.
                    (C)(i) The President may suspend the application of 
                subparagraph (A) with respect to a fiscal year if the 
                President determines that an international health 
                emergency threatens the national security interests of 
                the United States.
                    (ii) The President shall notify the Committee on 
                International Relations of the House of Representatives 
                and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate 
                not less than 5 days before making a determination 
                under clause (i) with respect to the application of 
                subparagraph (A)(i) and shall include in the 
                notification--
                            (I) a justification as to why increased 
                        United States Government contributions to the 
                        Global Fund is preferable to increased United 
                        States assistance to combat HIV/AIDS, 
                        tuberculosis, and malaria on a bilateral basis; 
                        and
                            (II) an explanation as to why other 
                        government donors to the Global Fund are unable

                ensuring that such persons are fully informed of 
                technical inadequacies or other aspects of the 
                proposals that are inconsistent with the purposes of 
                this or any other Act relating to the provision of

development, and humanitarian crisis.
    ``(b) Policy.--It is a major objective of the foreign assistance 
program of the United States to provide assistance for the prevention, 
treatment, and control of HIV/AIDS. The United States and other 
developed countries should provide assistance to countries in sub-
Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, and other countries and areas to control 
this crisis through HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, monitoring, and 
related activities, particularly activities focused on women and youth, 
including strategies to protect women and prevent mother-to-child 
transmission of the HIV infection.

            Subtitle B--Assistance for Children and Families

SEC. 311. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Approximately 2,000 children around the world are 
        infected each day with HIV through mother-to-child 
        transmission. Transmission can occur during pregnancy, labor, 
        and delivery or through breast feeding. Over ninety percent of 
        these cases are in developing nations with little or no access 
        to public health facilities.
            (2) Mother-to-child transmission is largely preventable 
        with the proper application of pharmaceuticals, therapies, and 
        other public health interventions.
            (3) The drug nevirapine reduces mother-to-child 
        transmission by nearly 50 percent. Universal availability of 
        this drug could prevent up to 400,000 infections per year and 
        dramatically reduce the number of AIDS-related deaths.
            (4) At the United Nations Special Session on HIV/AIDS in 
        June 2001, the United States committed to the specific goals 
        with respect to the prevention of mother-to-child transmission, 
        including the goals of reducing the proportion of infants 
        infected with HIV by 20 percent by the year 2005 and by 50 
        percent by the year 2010, as specified in the Declaration of 
        Commitment on HIV/AIDS adopted by the United Nations General 
        Assembly at the Special Session.
            (5) Several United States Government agencies including the 
        United States Agency for International Development and the 
        Centers for Disease Control are already supporting programs to 
        prevent mother-to-child transmission in resource-poor nations 
        and have the capacity to expand these programs rapidly by 
        working closely with foreign governments and nongovernmental 
        organizations.
            (6) Efforts to prevent mother-to-child transmission can 
        provide the basis for a broader response that includes care and 
        treatment of mothers, fathers, and other family members who are 
        infected with HIV or living with AIDS.
            (7) HIV/AIDS has devastated the lives of countless children 
        and families across the globe. Since the epidemic began, an 
        estimated 13,200,000 children under the age of 15 have been 
        orphaned by AIDS, that is they have lost their mother or both 
        parents to the disease. The Joint United Nations Program on 
        HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that this number will double by the 
        year 2010.
            (8) HIV/AIDS also targets young people between the ages of 
        15 to 24, particularly young women, many of whom carry the 
        burden of caring for family members living with HIV/AIDS. An 
        estimated 10,300,000 young people are now living with HIV/AIDS. 
        One-half of all new infections are occurring among this age 
        group.

SEC. 312. POLICY AND REQUIREMENTS.

    (a) Policy.--The United States Government's response to the global 
HIV/AIDS pandemic should place high priority on the prevention of 
mother-to-child transmission, the care and treatment of family members 
and caregivers, and the care of children orphaned by AIDS. To the 
maximum extent possible, the United States Government should seek to 
leverage its funds by seeking matching contributions from the private 
sector, other national governments, and international organizations.
    (b) Requirements.--The 5-year United States Government strategy 
required by section 101 of this Act shall--
            (1) provide for meeting or exceeding the goal to reduce the 
        rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV by 20 percent by 
        2005 and by 50 percent by 2010;
            (2) include programs to make available testing and 
        treatment to HIV-positive women and their family members, 
        including drug treatment and therapies to prevent mother-to-
        child transmission; and
            (3) expand programs designed to care for children orphaned 
        by AIDS.

                    OF THE HIV INFECTION.

    (a) In General.--Not later than one year after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for a period of five 
years, the President shall submit to appropriate congressional 
committees a report on the activities of relevant executive branch 
agencies during the reporting period to assist in the prevention of 
mother-to-child transmission of the HIV infection.
    (b) Report Elements.--Each report shall include--
            (1) a statement of whether or not all relevant executive 
        branch agencies have met the goal described in section 
        312(b)(1); and
            (2) a description of efforts made by the relevant executive 
        branch agencies to expand those activities, including--
                    (A) information on the number of sites supported 
                for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of 
                the HIV infection;
                    (B) the specific activities supported;
                    (C) the number of women tested and counseled; and
                    (D) the number of women receiving preventative drug 
                therapies.
    (c) Reporting Period Defined.--In this section, the term 
``reporting period'' means, in the case of the initial report, the 
period since the date of enactment of this Act and, in the case of any 
subsequent report, the period since the date of submission of the most

                testing for infants, children, and parents, and costs 
                related to the purchase of necessary laboratory 
                equipment;
                    (D) purchasing pharmaceuticals for HIV-related 
                conditions, including antiretroviral therapies;

                awareness of individuals of the program carried out by 
                the subgrantee, other communications activities in 
                support of the program, local advisory board functions, 
                and transportation necessary to ensure program 
                participation.
    (d) Reports.--The President shall require that each organization

               TITLE IV--AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS

SEC. 401. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

    (a) In General.--There are authorized to be appropriated to the 
President to carry out this Act and the amendments made by this Act 
$3,000,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2004 through 2008.
    (b) Availability.--Amounts appropriated pursuant to the 
authorization of appropriations in subsection (a) are authorized to 
remain available until expended.
    (c) Availability of Authorizations.--Authorizations of 
appropriations under subsection (a) shall remain available until the 
appropriations are made.

SEC. 402. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    (a) Increase in HIV/AIDS Antiretroviral Treatment.--It is a sense 
of the Congress that an urgent priority of United States assistance 
programs to fight HIV/AIDS should be the rapid increase in distribution 
of antiretroviral treatment so that--
            (1) by the end of fiscal year 2004, at least 500,000 
        individuals with HIV/AIDS are receiving antiretroviral 
        treatment through United States assistance programs;
            (2) by the end of fiscal year 2005, at least 1,000,000 such 
        individuals are receiving such treatment; and
            (3) by the end of fiscal year 2006, at least 2,000,000 such 
        individuals are receiving such treatment.
    (b) Effective Distribution of HIV/AIDS Funds.--It is the sense of 
Congress that, of the amounts appropriated pursuant to the 
authorization of appropriations under section 401 for HIV/AIDS 
assistance, an effective distribution of such amounts would be--
            (1) 55 percent of such amounts for treatment of individuals 
        with HIV/AIDS;
            (2) 15 percent of such amounts for palliative care of 
        individuals with HIV/AIDS;
            (3) 20 percent of such amounts for HIV/AIDS prevention 
        consistent with section 104A(d) of the Foreign Assistance Act 
        of 1961 (as added by section 301 of this Act); and
            (4) 10 percent of such amounts for orphans and vulnerable 
        children.

SEC. 403. ALLOCATION OF FUNDS.

    For fiscal years 2006 through 2008, not less than 55 percent of the 
amounts appropriated pursuant to the authorization of appropriations 
under section 401 for HIV/AIDS assistance for each such fiscal year 
shall be expended for therapeutic medical care of individuals infected 
with HIV, of which such amount at least 75 percent should be expended 
for the purchase and distribution of antiretroviral pharmaceuticals and 
at least 25 percent should be expended for related care.

                          Purpose and Summary

    The United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS Act of 2003 
(H.R. 1298), as ordered favorably reported out of the Committee 
on International Relations with an amendment in the nature of a 
substitute incorporating the 10 amendments adopted by the 
Committee, authorizes the expansion of United States efforts to 
fight HIV/AIDS in Africa, the Caribbean, and other countries in 
the developing world.
    Specifically, H.R. 1298 authorizes the provision of care 
and treatment to individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS; 
promotes the preservation of the family unit so that fewer 
children will be orphaned by AIDS; promotes the ABC approach 
successfully employed in Uganda's fight against AIDS 
(``Abstinence, Be Faithful, Condoms''); endorses the work of 
non-governmental organizations (including faith-based and 
community-based organizations) which are essential partners in 
effective AIDS prevention; and provides increased emphasis on 
mother-to-child transmission activities, as well as support for 
the routine voluntary counseling and testing of pregnant women 
and access to treatment by women and children.
    H.R. 1298 authorizes a multisectoral approach to fighting 
AIDS, and endorses education, research, prevention, treatment 
and care of those infected with HIV and those individuals 
living with AIDS. H.R. 1298 is consistent with and endorses 
President Bush's $15 billion, 5-year strategy to arrest the 
spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and will provide the 
President with great flexibility to use the various agencies of 
the Federal Government to fight AIDS and assist those infected 
with the disease.
    H.R. 1298 authorizes a significant increase over existing 
levels of assistance, and over the course of the 5-year 
authorization (FY2004-FY2008) will result in an additional $10 
billion made available to fight AIDS worldwide. The bill 
creates accountability through the establishment of a position 
in the U.S. State Department of Coordinator for HIV/AIDS 
Assistance. H.R. 1298 will authorize the use of life-extending 
pharmaceuticals and the provision of other drugs to reduce 
mother-to-child transmission. The bill amends the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961 to update it with the President's 
proposal that emphasizes treatment and care of those 
individuals infected with HIV and living with AIDS. It endorses 
and supports United States financial participation in the 
Global Fund, authorizing up to $1 billion in FY2004 and such 
sums as may be necessary in 2005 through 2008. The legislation 
requires that the U.S. contribution be limited to one third of 
all contributions to the Fund in any given year in order to 
promote burden-sharing and the follow-through of pledges by 
other countries. The bill creates an oversight body within the 
Executive Branch that will carefully review all Global Fund 
applications in order to recommend coherence with U.S. policies 
and laws.
    H.R. 1298, as ordered favorably reported, plays a critical 
role in building capacity within affected countries to educate 
youth and society at large of the tremendous risk that AIDS 
creates to individual and public health, agricultural 
production, culture and society, the education sector, and 
national security. The legislation will assist in reducing the 
threat that AIDS presents to social stability and security, in 
particular on the African continent, in Asia, and closer to 
home, in the Caribbean.

                Background and Need for the Legislation

    The HIV/AIDS pandemic is a crisis that threatens the 
stability, economy and democratic institutions of many nations. 
The United States National Intelligence Council estimates that 
the disease could reduce Gross Domestic Product in some sub-
Saharan African countries by 20 percent or more by 2010. The 
U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the average human lifespan in 
certain nations will decrease well below the age of 40 by the 
end of the decade.
    AIDS is a disease that affects and afflicts women, men and 
children. Caused by a virus that is changing the face of 
families in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, AIDS 
creates orphans, breaks apart families, and erases the gains of 
development. AIDS is responsible for a catastrophic reduction 
in the life expectancy of tens of millions of people with whom 
we share this planet. Not a day goes by when Americans are not 
exposed to images of AIDS and its destructive impact.
    To date, 40 million people are infected and 25 million have 
died of AIDS worldwide, including more than 3 million last 
year. More than 8,600 persons die daily from complications and 
opportunistic infections brought on by this disease. 
Tragically, the number is growing, and by the end of this 
decade, AIDS may claim up to 80 million lives.
    The HIV/AIDS pandemic is more than a humanitarian crisis. 
Increasingly, it is a threat to the security of the developed 
world. Left unchecked, this plague will further rip the fabric 
of developing societies, pushing fragile governments and 
economies to the point of collapse. There can be no question 
that the spectre of failed states across the world most 
certainly threatens U.S. security interests, particularly at a 
time where unstable nations have proven fertile ground for the 
development of terrorist organizations.
    In this regard, Africa is a central concern. Today radical 
Islam is spreading in several African countries, especially 
Nigeria. This trend threatens to undercut democracy and make 
Nigeria a failed state. It is in American interests to counter 
this movement by doing what we can to help build democracy and 
a growing economy in Nigeria and elsewhere. The spread of HIV/
AIDS frustrates this most important mission. We also have a 
strong interest is seeing the development of professional 
African militaries; militaries capable of maintaining stability 
in their country, but also capable of contributing to 
peacekeeping operations elsewhere. Yet, an examination of the 
HIV/AIDS rates among the armed forces of key African countries, 
including Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya, reveals infection 
rates between 30 and 40 percent. Military and police forces in 
other countries with high HIV/AIDS prevalence rates are among 
the highest risk populations in the world. The increase in HIV-
infected military personnel is weakening the capacity of these 
forces to defend their nations and to serve as peacekeepers in 
crisis situations. High prevalence rates among police forces 
undermine their ability to maintain civil order. AIDS indeed 
presents a national security threat--a threat to the stability 
and viability of many nations in the developing world.
    Building on the bipartisan work accomplished in the 107th 
Congress, the Committee reports favorably an updated AIDS bill 
that focuses on treatment, prevention and care, and authorizes 
treatment for more than 2 million people.
    In the 107th Congress, the Committee on International 
Relations reported favorably H.R. 2069, introduced by Chairman 
Henry J. Hyde, the ``Global Access to HIV/AIDS Prevention, 
Awareness, Education and Treatment Act of 2001.'' That bill was 
passed by the House and sent to the Senate, which struck all 
after the enacting clause and inserted a new text and returned 
H.R. 2069 to the House as the ``United States Leadership 
Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2002.'' The 
House and Senate were unable to reconcile the two versions of 
the bill, but both chambers agreed upon the need for expanded 
assistance to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Both versions of the 
bill supported increases in funding for bilateral and 
multilateral approaches to fighting HIV/AIDS. Both bills 
stressed the urgency of the need for the President to develop a 
comprehensive strategy to expand U.S. assistance to encompass 
treatment of HIV/AIDS through the use of antiretroviral 
therapy.
    Chairman Hyde, accompanied by Ranking Member Lantos, 
Representative Weldon of Florida, Representative Lee and 
Representative Leach, introduced H.R. 1298 on March 17, 2003. 
The bill supports the President's plan to increase U.S. 
assistance for AIDS relief, and will create a more responsive, 
coordinated and effective approach among the various agencies 
of the U.S. Government involved in the global fight against 
HIV/AIDS. H.R. 1298 builds on the Chairman's bill, H.R. 2069, 
from the 107th Congress.
    H.R. 1298 includes important protections for accountability 
and transparency of the Global Fund. As reported, the 
legislation authorizes up to $1 billion for fiscal year 2004 
for contributions to the Global Fund, and such sums as may be 
necessary for the fiscal years 2005-2008. While the President's 
budget request is expected to be $200 million for each of the 
next 5 fiscal years for the Global Fund, in FY2003 the Congress 
appropriated nearly twice the amount requested by the 
President. The one billion dollar figure represents a carefully 
crafted compromise that builds bipartisan support for the bill 
while at the same time includes additional safeguards. United 
States financial support would be limited to 33 percent of the 
total amounts contributed by other donors. This means that in 
order for the U.S. to provide $350 million, other donors would 
have to actually contribute $700 million in the same year. This 
provision promotes better burden-sharing and follow-through for 
the donations of other countries. H.R. 1298 requires continual 
monitoring and evaluation of the Global Fund by the Comptroller 
General, and requires him to issue a report every 2 years on 
the Global Fund, including whether objectives are being met by 
projects supported by the Global Fund. The legislation creates 
a U.S. Government interagency technical review panel that will 
``shadow'' the work of the Global Fund's Technical Review 
Panel. This will ensure that all grant applications submitted 
to the Global Fund will undergo thorough review, and that 
concerns and questions about problematic proposals can be 
provided to U.S. persons who sit on the panels of the Global 
Fund.
    H.R. 1298 stresses the importance of behavior change 
(including the promotion of abstinence, faithfulness, the delay 
of ``sexual debut,'' and the effective use of condoms) as the 
foundation of efforts to fight AIDS. The legislation expands 
U.S. efforts at combating the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the 
developing world--in those countries already facing crisis of 
unprecedented proportions, and also in those countries with 
alarming recent increases in HIV prevalence.
    It encourages a strategy that extends palliative care for 
people living with AIDS and supports efforts to find vaccines 
for HIV/AIDS and malaria. H.R. 1298 emphasizes the need to keep 
families together, with particular focus on the assistance 
needs of children and young people with HIV and of orphans and 
other vulnerable children caused by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The 
bill also contributes to multilateral initiatives that leverage 
the funds of others, and endorses wider application of the 
successful ``ABC'' approach that has reduced HIV prevalence in 
certain countries by acknowledging the importance of individual 
behavior change in fighting this disease.
    The legislation creates a position within the U.S. 
Department of State--a ``Coordinator of United States 
Government Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS Globally,'' who will 
be appointed by the President. The coordinator will ensure 
cohesion and unity of effort among the various agencies of the 
United States Government that contribute to our overall AIDS 
effort. H.R. 1298 updates the AIDS-related authorities in the 
Foreign Assistance Act--authorities for the President to 
support the widest variety of AIDS treatment and prevention 
programs overseas. The legislation endorses prevention programs 
that include the promotion of abstinence, faithfulness, the 
delay of ``sexual debut,'' and the effective use of condoms, 
and authorizes United States participation in the Global Fund 
to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
    Education is one of the most effective ways to combat HIV/
AIDS. Education systems provide a cost-effective infrastructure 
for delivering HIV/AIDS prevention messages and life skills 
training to two vital populations, particularly girls--those 
least likely to be infected (children ages 5 to 14) and those 
most vulnerable to infection (youths 15 to 24 years old)--but 
also to the broader population through the engagement of 
parents and community leaders in activities in and around 
schools.
    Funds designed for educational efforts can most effectively 
be used in conjunction with other efforts and institutions 
engaged in schools and educational institutions. Relevant 
education activities include developing and integrating HIV/
AIDS materials in the educational curriculum, training teachers 
in such curriculum, and strengthening the capabilities of 
schools so that they are better able to address health 
education needs.
    At the same time that education systems are vital to 
combating HIV/AIDS, they are also its victims. The disease is 
decimating teacher corps, undermining the quality of education, 
and straining already tight national education budgets as 
countries try to train replacements.
    The HIV/AIDS pandemic is also one of the great moral 
challenges of our era, and is a scourge of unparalleled 
proportions in modern times. Entire villages of orphans are 
being created because adults are dead or dying from this 
plague. The United States has an obligation to use its 
leadership and resources to stop this virus and the destruction 
it causes. The AIDS pandemic touches our national security, our 
civilization, and our humanity. We can and should leverage 
other countries to contribute to help prevent and fight the 
spread of HIV and furnish care, treatment and cure for those 
individuals infected with this terrible disease. Compromise 
must be at the heart and soul of this process. Certain groups 
and interests disagree with specific elements of H.R. 1298. 
While no piece of legislation will please all quarters, the 
Committee on International Relations has done its best to craft 
a compromise that demonstrates our common cause against AIDS. 
Members of the Committee may differ on approaches, but do agree 
on goals and objectives.
    As our Nation wages war in Iraq, the American people can 
and must fight on many fronts to protect our interests, promote 
our values, and provide hope to captive, destitute and 
vulnerable people across the globe.
    The United States Congress has waited too long to address 
the global HIV/AIDS crisis in a truly systematic and 
comprehensive way. This is one of the most ambitious pieces of 
legislation in the Committee's long history--$15 billion 
authorized in the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, 
Tuberculosis and Malaria Act of 2003 is an enormous sum by any 
measure. It is five times the amount we considered for the 
cause in the 107th Congress through the Committee's 
consideration of H.R. 2069. As impressive as these amounts 
appear, they are no more than this crisis demands. Every day, 
AIDS claims the lives of innocent men and women, old and young, 
sick and able-bodied, destitute and affluent, unemployed and 
professional, African, Asian, American, atheist and faithful. 
This disease does not discriminate. It targets us all. In so 
doing, it ruins families, communities and whole nations; and it 
fuels violence and bloodshed across borders. The political, 
economic, social and health impacts of HIV/AIDS cannot be 
contained in one region or one population. It is a global human 
challenge that demands a global humanitarian response with the 
United States in the lead. H.R. 1298 is unprecedented 
legislation that will lead the way for increased U.S. 
engagement and leadership to contain the spread of the 
pandemic.

                                Hearings

    The Committee did not hold hearings on HIV/AIDS during the 
108th Congress prior to consideration of H.R. 1298.

                        Committee Consideration

    H.R. 1298 was introduced by Chairman Hyde on March 17, 
2003, and was referred to the Committee on International 
Relations. On April 2, 2003, the Committee met in open session, 
pursuant to notice, to consider the bill. A motion offered by 
Chairman Hyde to favorably report H.R. 1298 to the House of 
Representatives, as amended, was agreed to by a record vote of 
37 ayes to 8 noes, a quorum being present.

                         Summary of Amendments

    The Committee adopted several amendments. The first was 
offered by Chairman Hyde as an en bloc amendment (#1), and was 
approved by voice vote.
    Rep. Pitts (R-PA) offered an amendment (#2) to provide 
prioritized funding for programs promoting abstinence over 
those that focus on condom use. Rep. Lee (D-CA) offered a 
substitute amendment (#3) to the Pitts amendment. The Lee 
amendment requires the President's AIDS prevention strategy to 
prioritize behavioral risk reduction by promoting abstinence, 
encouraging monogamy and faithfulness, promoting the effective 
use of condoms, and eradicating prostitution, the sex trade, 
rape, sexual assault and the sexual exploitation of women and 
children. The Lee substitute amendment was approved by a record 
vote of 24 ayes to 20 nays [Record Vote #1]. The Pitts 
amendment, as amended by the Lee amendment, was agreed to by 
voice vote.
    The Committee approved by voice vote an amendment (#4) 
offered by Rep. Brown (D-OH), as amended by Chairman Hyde's 
amendment (#5), to Section 302 of the bill requiring the 
President to ensure that not less than 75 percent of 
tuberculosis funding should be spent on antituberculosis drugs, 
supplies, direct patient services, and training.
    The Committee approved by voice vote an amendment (#6) 
offered by Rep. Rohrabacher (R-CA) recommending that 10% of the 
funding be used to help orphans and vulnerable children 
affected by HIV/AIDS.
    The Committee approved by voice vote an amendment (#7) 
offered by Rep. Napolitano (D-CA) regarding awarding subgrants 
in a new pilot program on family survival partnerships--giving 
priority for consideration to groups that already provide 
mother-to-child HIV transmission prevention programs.
    The Committee defeated, by a record vote of 15 ayes to 25 
nays, an amendment (#8) offered by Rep. Smith (R-MI) that would 
have reduced the authorization levels in fiscal years 2004 and 
2005, and shifted such funds to fiscal years 2007 and 2008 
[Record Vote #2].
    The Committee approved by voice vote an amendment (#9) 
offered by Rep. Berman (D-CA) that would include, as eligible 
to receive funding, the public-private partnership ``Medicines 
for Malaria Venture'' for developing new anti-malarial 
medicines.
    The Committee approved by voice vote an amendment (#10) 
offered by Rep. Flake (R-AZ), as amended by the Lantos (#11) 
and Berman (#12) amendments, that would reduce the amount of 
Federal funding for the Global Fund by an amount equal to the 
amount provided by the Fund to governments on the State 
Department's terrorist list.
    The Committee approved by voice vote an amendment (#13) 
offered by Rep. McCollum (D-MN) that would make physician's 
assistants eligible to participate in a pilot program for the 
placement of health care professionals in countries severely 
affected by HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria.
    An amendment (#14) to add Malawi to the list of countries 
specifically listed to receive HIV/AIDS assistance was offered 
and withdrawn by Rep. McCollum.
    The Committee approved by unanimous consent an en bloc 
amendment (#15) with language by Rep. Harris (R-FL) to add the 
word ``abstinence'' to the list of other methods that should be 
promoted to reduce HIV/AIDS, and language by Rep. Davis (R-VA) 
that would require an analysis of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) 
in sub-Saharan Africa and the impact that condom usage has upon 
the spread of HPV in sub-Saharan Africa.
    The Committee defeated, by a record vote of 21 ayes to 23 
noes [Record Vote #3], an amendment (#16) offered by Rep. Pitts 
which would have required the HIV/AIDS Coordinator to respect 
the views of faith-based organizations by not requiring such 
organizations to participate in any aspect of any assistance 
program if it violated their views as a matter of conscience.
    The Committee approved, by a record vote of 24 ayes to 22 
noes [Record Vote #5], an amendment (#17) offered by Rep. Smith 
(R-NJ) that would prohibit funds from going to any group or 
organization that does not have a policy ``explicitly opposing 
prostitution and sex trafficking.'' The Committee defeated, by 
a record vote of 21 ayes to 22 noes, an amendment (#18) offered 
by Rep. Lantos (D-CA) to the Smith amendment that would have 
provided exceptions to the prostitution policy [Record Vote 
#4].
    By a record vote of 37 ayes to 8 noes, the Committee 
favorably reported to the House H.R. 1298, as amended [Record 
Vote #6].
    By unanimous consent the Committee ordered H.R. 1298 
reported as a single amendment in the nature of a substitute 
incorporating the perfecting amendments adopted during markup.

                                     U.S. Congress,

        Honorable Tom Lantos,
        Ranking Member.

H.R. 1298--United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and 
        Malaria Act of 2003.

                                SUMMARY

    H.R. 1298 would require the President to develop a 
comprehensive strategy for the prevention, treatment, and 
monitoring of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) caused 
by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and would authorize 
the appropriation of $3 billion a year over the 2004-2008 
period to fund those efforts. Specifically, the bill would 
authorize appropriations for contributions to the Global Fund 
to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria and to various 
international vaccine funds. It would authorize funding for 
bilateral assistance programs to prevent, treat, and monitor 
HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria and for assistance to the 
families and children of persons affected by those diseases. 
Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates 
implementing H.R. 1298 would cost $568 million in 2004 and $11 
billion over the 2004-2008 period. The bill would not affect 
direct spending or receipts.
    H.R. 1298 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) 
and would impose no significant costs on the budgets of state, 
local, or tribal governments.

                ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

    The estimated budgetary impact of H.R. 1298 is shown in the 
following table. The costs of this legislation fall within 
budget functions 150 (international affairs) and 550 (health). 
For this estimate, CBO assumes that the bill will be enacted by 
September 30, 2003, that authorized amounts will be provided in 
annual appropriation acts near the start of each fiscal year, 
and that outlays will follow historical spending patterns.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                           BASIS OF ESTIMATE

    H.R. 1298 would identify HIV/AIDS as being of particular 
concern to the United States and would require the President to 
develop a comprehensive strategy to combat it on a global 
basis. The bill would establish within the Department of State 
the position of Coordinator of U.S. Government Activities to 
Combat HIV/AIDS Globally with the responsibility to oversee and 
to coordinate U.S. programs with those of other countries and 
international organizations. The bill also would require 
numerous reports to the Congress, and it would permit a portion 
of the authorized amounts to be used for administrative 
expenses.
    The bill would give the Coordinator discretion to allocate 
funds to the various programs authorized. For the purpose of 
the estimate, CBO assumed that programs under the Public Health 
Services agencies would be funded at the amounts identified in 
the President's budget request for 2004 and that the additional 
amounts authorized by H.R. 1298, about $0.9 billion of the $3 
billion annual authorization, would be allocated by the 
Coordinator consistent with the plan to be developed by the 
President.

              INTERGOVERNMENTAL AND PRIVATE-SECTOR IMPACT

    H.R. 1298 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in UMRA and would impose no significant 
costs on the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.

                    Performance Goals and Objectives

    The goals and objectives of this legislation are to provide 
for the national security of the United States and other 
nations by increasing HIV/AIDS assistance to those countries 
most affected by the pandemic for the purpose of reducing the 
spread of the pandemic and its effects on the health of 
populations in the developing world.

                   Constitutional Authority Statement

    Pursuant to clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee finds the authority for 
this legislation in article I, section 8, clause 18 of the 
Constitution (relating to making all laws necessary and proper 
for carrying into execution powers vested by the Constitution 
in the Government of the United States).

               Section-by-Section Analysis and Discussion

    Section 1. Short Title. Section 1 contains a short title 
and table of contents.
    Section 2. Findings. Section 2 articulates findings on the 
state of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the developing world, 
including latest statistics on the numbers infected and dead; 
the particular effect of AIDS on, and the vulnerability of, 
women and children; the effect of the AIDS crisis on the 
economic security of countries; its effect on society, labor, 
military readiness and peacekeeping; the relationship of HIV/
AIDS to tuberculosis and malaria; the types of strategies 
appropriate for dealing with the pandemic; the importance of 
treatment and care of people living with AIDS; the role of NGOs 
and faith-based organizations in assisting those people living 
with AIDS; the positive track record of countries such as 
Uganda in facing AIDS directly, resulting in significant 
progress by adopting strategies based on behavior change; the 
demand for a comprehensive, long-term international response, 
founded upon addressing the crisis, reducing the spread, and 
ameliorating the consequence of the pandemic; that 
prostitution, sex trafficking and sexual violence are 
additional causes and factors in the spread of HIV/AIDS; the 
need for strong coordination among the various agencies of the 
United States to ensure effective and efficient use of 
financial and technical resources with respect to the provision 
of international HIV/AIDS assistance; and findings summarizing 
and emphasizing the importance of the President's support of 
greatly increased and expanded United States efforts to control 
the pandemic.
    Section 3. Definitions. Section 3 defines terms used 
throughout the bill.
    Section 4. Purpose. Section 4 articulates in general terms 
the purposes of the act: to establish a comprehensive, 5-year 
strategy; to provide increased resources for bilateral and 
multilateral efforts to fight the pandemic; to encourage the 
expansion of private sector efforts and public-private 
partnerships; and to intensify care and treatment for 
individuals with HIV/AIDS, and development of vaccines for HIV/
AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.
    Section 5. Authority to consolidate and combine reports. 
Section 5 authorizes the President to consolidate the various 
reports required by the act, and to enter into contracts for 
the purpose of developing, originating, or contributing to any 
of the required reports.

    Section 101. Development of a comprehensive, 5-year global 
strategy. Section 101 requires the President to: establish a 
comprehensive, integrated 5-year strategy to combat HIV/AIDS 
globally, and articulates that the required elements of the 
strategy should include objectives and approaches to treat 
those infected, and prevent further spread of infections; 
improve coordination and assign priorities for relevant 
executive branch agencies; expand public-private partnerships; 
maximize U.S. capabilities in the areas of technical 
assistance, training, and research; and report on the strategy 
not later than 270 days after the date of enactment of the law.
    Section 102. HIV/AIDS Response Coordinator. Section 102(a) 
creates the position of Coordinator of United States Government 
Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS Globally and enumerates the 
duties and responsibilities of that individual, generally and 
specifically. Section 102(b) requires the President to specify 
the necessary financial resources that shall be assigned to, 
and under the direct control of, the Coordinator. Section 
102(c) establishes a separate account in the Treasury into 
which shall be deposited all amounts appropriated pursuant to 
the authorization of appropriations under section 401, except 
for amounts appropriated for U.S. contributions to the Global 
Fund.
Title II--Support for Multilateral Funds, Programs, and Public-Private 
        Partnerships
    Section 201. Sense of Congress on public-private 
partnerships. Section 201 includes findings and a Sense of 
Congress supportive of public-private partnerships in 
strengthening the delivery of health services and accelerating 
research in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
    Section 202. Participation in the Global Fund to Fight 
AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Section 202 authorizes U.S. 
financial participation in the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, 
Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund), and requires an 
annual report on contributions pledged to, received by, and 
projects funded by the Global Fund, and the mechanisms 
established for transparency and accountability in the grant-
making process. It authorizes up to $1 billion for fiscal year 
2004, and such sums as may be necessary for FY2005-2008, 
available until expended, with the limitation that the U.S. 
contribution may not be more than 33 percent of the total 
amounts contributed to the Fund from all other sources, unless 
the President waives this requirement. It also requires the 
establishment of an interagency technical review panel that 
will analyze proposals received by the Global Fund and provide 
recommendations to U.S. representatives on the committees, 
panels and executive board of the Global Fund. It requires the 
GAO to monitor and evaluate projects and report to Congress 
every 2 years the results of the monitoring and evaluation.
    Section 203. Voluntary contributions to international 
vaccine funds. Section 203 authorizes such sums as may be 
necessary to be contributed by the United States Government to

Appropriate Technologies in Health.''
Title III--Bilateral Efforts
            Subtitle A--General Assistance and Programs
    Section 301. Assistance to combat HIV/AIDS. Section 301(a) 
amends and updates the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) by 
inserting a new section, Section 104A--``Assistance to Combat 
HIV/AIDS.'' This new section: recognizes that the alarming 
spread of HIV/AIDS in developing countries is a major health, 
national security, development and humanitarian crisis; states 
that a major objective of the foreign assistance program of the 
United States is to provide assistance for the prevention, 
treatment and control of HIV/AIDS; authorizes the President to 
furnish assistance to prevent, treat and monitor HIV/AIDS, and 
carry out related activities in sub-Saharan Africa and other 
countries and areas; describes in general the types of 
assistance activities that shall be supported to the maximum 
extent practicable (prevention, treatment, prevention 
intervention education and technologies, monitoring, 
pharmaceuticals, and related activities); requires an annual 
report on the implementation of the new Section 104A; provides 
a limitation on administrative expenses for activities 
described in Section 104(c) and Sections104A, 104B, and 104C; 
and defines terms used in Section 104A. Section 301(b) 
authorizes the appropriation of such sums as may be necessary 
for FY2004-2008 to carry out the new Section 104A of the FAA as 
added by Section 301(a), and authorizes such sums to remain 
available until expended.
    In order to promote effective and efficient use of 
financial and technical resources with respect to the provision 
of U.S. HIV/AIDS assistance, the Committee expects that the 
Coordinator will establish in-country mechanisms under which 
all organizations receiving U.S. HIV/AIDS funds in a particular 
country will closely coordinate their activities to decrease 
overlap in programming and ensure maximum success for each 
program supported by U.S. funds.
    Section 302. Assistance to combat tuberculosis. Section 302 
amends the FAA by adding a new section, Section 104B, that 
authorizes assistance to combat tuberculosis, and authorizes 
the appropriation of such sums as may be necessary to carry out 
this new section of the FAA.
    Section 303. Assistance to combat malaria. Section 303 
amends the FAA by adding a new Section 104C that authorizes 
assistance to combat malaria, and authorizes the appropriation 
of such sums as may be necessary to carry out this new Section 
104C of the FAA.
    Section 304. Pilot program for the placement of health care 
professionals in overseas areas severely affected by HIV/AIDS, 
tuberculosis, and malaria. Section 304 authorizes the President 
to establish a pilot program for the placement of health care 
professionals in overseas areas severely affected by HIV/AIDS, 
tuberculosis and malaria, including foreign-born health care 
workers living permanently in the United States; and from the 
amounts authorized to be appropriated to the President under 
Section 401, authorizes the appropriation of such sums as may 
be necessary for FY2004-2008 to carry out the program.
    Section 305. Report on treatment activities by relevant 
executive branch agencies. Section 305 requires a report by the 
President on the programs and activities of relevant executive 
branch agencies that are directed to the treatment of 
individuals in foreign countries infected with HIV or living 
with AIDS.
            Subtitle B--Assistance for Children and Families
    Section 311. Findings. Section 311 includes findings on the 
effect of AIDS on children and families in foreign countries.
    Section 312. Policy and requirements. Section 312 states 
that the United States Government response to the pandemic 
should place a high priority on the prevention of mother-to-
child transmission, the care and treatment of family members, 
and the care of children orphaned by AIDS.
    Section 313. Annual reports on prevention of mother-to-
child transmission of the HIV infection. Section 313 requires 
an annual report on the activities of relevant executive branch 
agencies to assist in the prevention of mother-to-child 
transmission of HIV infection.
    Section 314. Pilot program of assistance for children and 
families affected by HIV/AIDS. Section 314 authorizes the 
President to establish a pilot program to demonstrate the 
feasibility of the provision of care and treatment to orphans 
and other children and young people affected by HIV/AIDS in 
foreign countries, and from the amounts authorized to be 
appropriated to the President under Section 401, authorizes the 
appropriation of such sums as may be necessary for FY2004-2008 
to carry out the program.
    Section 315. Pilot programs on family survival 
partnerships. Section 315 authorizes the President to establish 
a program, through a public-private partnership, for the 
provision of medical care and support services to HIV-positive 
parents and their children identified through existing programs 
to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV in countries 
with or at risk for severe HIV epidemic, with particular 
attention to resource-constrained countries, and from the 
amounts authorized to be appropriated to the President under 
Section 401, authorizes the appropriation of such sums as may 
be necessary for FY2004-2008 to carry out the program.
Title IV--Authorization of Appropriations.
    Section 401. Authorization of Appropriations. Section 401 
authorizes to be appropriated to the President to carry out the 
act and the amendments made by the act $3 billion for each of 
the fiscal years 2004 through 2008. Amounts are authorized to 
remain available until expended and the authorization of 
appropriations therein shall remain available until the 
appropriations are made.
    Section 402. Sense of Congress. Section 402(a) includes a 
sense of the Congress that an urgent priority of U.S. 
assistance programs to fight HIV/AIDS should be the rapid 
increase in distribution of antiretroviral treatment (ARV) so 
that by the end of FY2004, at least 500,000 individuals are 
receiving ARV; by the end of FY2005, at least 1,000,000 
individuals are receiving such treatment; and by the end of 
FY2006, at least 2,000,000 individuals are receiving treatment. 
Section 402(b) includes a sense of the Congress that of the 
amounts appropriated pursuant to the authorization of 
appropriations under Section 401 for HIV/AIDS assistance, an 
effective distribution of such funds would be 55 percent for 
treatment of individuals with HIV/AIDS, 15 percent for 
palliative care of individuals with HIV/AIDS, 20 percent for 
HIV/AIDS prevention, and 10 percent for orphans and vulnerable 
children.
    Section 403. Allocation of Funds. Section 403 requires that 
for fiscal years 2006 through 2008, not less than 55 percent of 
the amounts appropriated under Section 401 for HIV/AIDS 
assistance for each fiscal year shall be expended for 
therapeutic medical care of individuals infected with HIV, of 
which at least 75 percent should be expended for the purchase 
and distribution of ARV drugs and at least 25 percent should be 
expended for related care.

    [(4)(A) Congress recognizes the growing international 
dilemma of children with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 
and the merits of intervention programs aimed at this problem. 
Congress further recognizes that mother-to-child transmission 
prevention strategies can serve as a major force for change in 
developing regions, and it is, therefore, a major objective of 
the foreign assistance program to control the acquired immune 
deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic.
    [(B) The agency primarily responsible for administering 
this part shall--
            [(i) coordinate with UNAIDS, UNICEF, WHO, national 
        and local governments, and other organizations to 
        develop and implement effective strategies to prevent 
        vertical transmission of HIV; and
            [(ii) coordinate with those organizations to 
        increase intervention programs and introduce voluntary 
        counseling and testing, antiretroviral drugs, 
        replacement feeding, and other strategies.
    [(5)(A) Congress expects the agency primarily responsible 
for administering this part to make the human immunodeficiency 
virus (HIV) and the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) 
a priority in the foreign assistance program and to undertake a 
comprehensive, coordinated effort to combat HIV and AIDS.
    [(B) Assistance described in subparagraph (A) shall include 
help providing--
            [(i) primary prevention and education;
            [(ii) voluntary testing and counseling;
            [(iii) medications to prevent the transmission of 
        HIV from mother to child; and
            [(iv) care for those living with HIV or AIDS.
    [(6)(A) In addition to amounts otherwise available for such 
purpose, there is authorized to be appropriated to the 
President $300,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2001 and

    [(B) Of the funds authorized to be appropriated under 
subparagraph (A), not less than 65 percent is authorized to be 
available through United States and foreign nongovernmental 
organizations, including private and voluntary organizations, 
for-profit organizations, religious affiliated organizations, 
educational institutions, and research facilities.
    [(C)(i) Of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
subparagraph (A), not less than 20 percent is authorized to be 
available for programs as part of a multidonor strategy to 
address the support and education of orphans in sub-Saharan 
Africa, including AIDS orphans.
    [(ii) Assistance made available under this subsection, and 
assistance made available under chapter 4 of part II to carry 
out the purposes of this subsection, may be made available 
notwithstanding any other provision of law that restricts 
assistance to foreign countries.

subparagraph (A), not less than 8.3 percent is authorized to be 
available to carry out the prevention strategies for vertical 
transmission referred to in paragraph (4)(A).

described in paragraphs (4) and (5).
    [(F) Funds appropriated under this paragraph are authorized 
to remain available until expended.
    [(7)(A) Congress recognizes the growing international 
problem of tuberculosis and the impact its continued existence 
has on those nations that had previously largely controlled the 
disease. Congress further recognizes that the means exist to 
control and treat tuberculosis, and that it is therefore a 
major objective of the foreign assistance program to control 
the disease. To this end, Congress expects the agency primarily 
responsible for administering this part--
            [(i) to coordinate with the World Health 
        Organization, the Centers for Disease Control, the 
        National Institutes of Health, and other organizations 
        toward the development and implementation of a 
        comprehensive tuberculosis control program; and

        in those countries in which the agency has established 
        development programs, by December 31, 2010.
    [(B) There is authorized to be appropriated to the 
President, $60,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2001 and

this paragraph, may be made available notwithstanding any other 
provision of law that restricts assistance to foreign 
countries, except for the provisions of this subsection, the 
provisions of law cited in this paragraph, subsection (f), 
section 634A of this Act, and provisions of law that limit 
assistance to organizations that support or participate in a 
program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization 
included under the Child Survival and Health Programs Fund 
heading in the Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, 2003 
(Public Law 108-7).

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Congress recognizes the growing international 
        problem of tuberculosis and the impact its continued 
        existence has on those countries that had previously 
        largely controlled the disease.
            (2) Congress further recognizes that the means 
        exist to control and treat tuberculosis through 
        expanded use of the DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment 
        Short-course) treatment strategy, including DOTS-Plus 
        to address multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, and 
        adequate investment in newly created mechanisms to 
        increase access to treatment, including the Global 
        Tuberculosis Drug Facility established in 2001 pursuant 
        to the Amsterdam Declaration to Stop TB and the Global 
        Alliance for TB Drug Development.
    (b) Policy.--It is a major objective of the foreign 
assistance program of the United States to control 
tuberculosis, including the detection of at least 70 percent of 
the cases of infectious tuberculosis, and the cure of at least 
85 percent of the cases detected, not later than December 31, 
2005, in those countries classified by the World Health 
Organization as among the highest tuberculosis burden, and not 
later than December 31, 2010, in all countries in which the 
United States Agency for International Development has

course (DOTS) coverage and treatment of multi-drug resistant 
tuberculosis where needed using DOTS-Plus, including funding 
for the Global Tuberculosis Drug Facility, the Stop 
Tuberculosis Partnership, and the Global Alliance for TB Drug 
Development. In order to meet the requirement of the preceding 
sentence, the President should ensure that not less than 75 
percent of the amount made available to carry out this section 
for a fiscal year should be expended for antituberculosis 
drugs, supplies, direct patient services, and training in

        comprehensive tuberculosis management strategy that is 
        built upon and works as a supplement to the standard 
        DOTS strategy, and which takes into account specific 
        issues (such as use of second line anti-tuberculosis 
        drugs) that need to be addressed in areas where there 
        is high prevalence of multi-drug resistant 
        tuberculosis.
