INTRODUCTION

The Committee notes that governmentwide efforts to reduce the 

Federal deficit require cuts in operations and programs funded by 

this act. The Committee has also taken further steps to reduce 

wasteful and unnecessary spending. 

REDUCING COSTS

The Federal agencies administering funds appropriated by this 

act are directed to regularly review all costs associated with operations and programs to determine their necessity, priority, and effectiveness. All programs, except for humanitarian relief and recovery purposes, should be designed to be sustained by host country 

governments or civil society, and include a cost-matching requirement, as appropriate. Programs that are failing to perform or meet 

sustainability guidelines, or that have required excessive overhead 

or security costs, should be modified or discontinued. 

Section 7020(a) of this act clarifies the intended uses of funds for 

representation and entertainment expenses at the Federal agencies 

and entities funded by this act. The Committee directs the Depart-
10 

ment and agencies to achieve further savings by reducing the cost 

of executive meetings, ceremonies, and conferences, and curtailing 

the purchase of commemorative and promotional items. 

Cost Savings and Efficiencies.—The Committee directs the Department of State’s OIG to provide the Committee a consolidated 

list of OIG recommendations for potential position reductions and 

office reductions or closures since October 1, 2012, including cost 

savings, and the Department’s responses to such recommendations. 

The GAO’s ‘‘2013 Annual Report: Actions Needed to Reduce 

Fragmentation, Overlap and Duplication, and Achieve Other Financial Benefits’’ (GAO–13–279SP) provided updates on the status 

of the implementation of recommendations in prior annual reports 

to reduce duplication, improve coordination, and achieve savings at 

the Department of State and USAID. The Committee directs the 

Secretary of State, USAID Administrator, and the BBG to submit 

a report to the Committee on the status of implementation of the 

GAO recommendations relevant to programs funded by this act. 

Energy Audits and Savings.—The Committee directs the agencies funded by this act to improve energy efficiency at overseas 

posts. If any such agency has not conducted environmental assessments and water and energy audits of their overseas post operations to assess consistency with Federal energy efficiency standards and environmental practices within 5 years prior to the date 

of enactment of this act, such agencies shall conduct such assessments and audits and should implement the recommendations of 

such assessments and audits to reduce costs and better align overseas post operations with the department’s or agency’s targets for 

Federal building energy efficiency and environmental sustainability 

in accordance with Executive Order 13514. The Committee directs 

each agency funded by this act to submit a report not later than 

September 30, 2014, detailing the findings of such assessments and 

audits, a plan, including steps taken, to implement such recommendations, and a comparison of such findings with the targets 

for Federal building energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. 

Financial and Contract Management.—The Committee is concerned with OIG and independent auditor findings on weaknesses 

and shortcomings in financial and contract management at the Department of State, USAID, and other agencies funded by this act. 

The Committee expects the Department, USAID, and other agencies to continue efforts to improve financial management, contracting processes, and internal controls. The Committee directs 

the Department of State, USAID, and other Federal agencies, as 

applicable, to report to the Committee on the process for complying 

with the subawards reporting requirements in Public Law 109–282, 

as amended by Public Law 110–252, and the fiscal year 2013 statistics for contractor compliance with such requirements. 

Other Than Coach Class Travel.—The bill does not include section 7073 of Public Law 112–74. However, the Committee expects 

the Department of State, USAID, and all agencies, commissions, 

and organizations funded by this act to comply with the other than 

coach class travel restrictions in sections 301–10.122 through 301– 

10.124 of title 41, Code of Federal Regulations. 
11 

Transparency, Governance, and Oversight Requirements.—The 

Committee notes that oversight, transparency and accountability 

are key factors in achieving optimal efficiency and performance and 

includes section 7078 directing the organizations funded under the 

‘‘Related Programs’’ heading in title I to report to the Committee 

on compliance with the 12 key broad-based governance, accountability, and transparency requirements identified and reviewed in 

GAO’s ‘‘Federally Created Entities’’ report (GAO–10–97). The Committee directs the Department of State’s OIG to report on the organizations for which the OIG currently has authority to conduct 

oversight, and the additional authorities and resources the OIG 

would require for oversight of the other organizations. 

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS

While the Committee understands that performance data is required by the Government Performance and Results Act for inclusion in the CBJ, timely budget information that is clearly, concisely, and accurately presented must continue to be the priority. 

The Committee expects the Department of State, USAID, and other 

agencies funded by this act to submit CBJs within 4 weeks of the 

release of the President’s fiscal year 2015 budget request. The 

Committee also directs the Department of State, USAID, and other 

agencies to include detailed information on all reimbursable agreements and significant uses of the Economy Act. 

Department of State and USAID operating expense accounts are 

appropriated with 2-year availability to provide flexibility for new 

or complex programs and procurement sensitive programs. However, the Committee intends the Department and USAID to request funding for other costs, including salaries and related expenses, in the fiscal year that it is to be expended. The Committee 

also directs the Department and USAID to include in their spend 

plans a justification for any funding that is planned to be executed 

in the fiscal year after it is appropriated, and to include specific detail and justification in the CBJ for funding requested with 2-year 

availability. 

The Committee directs the Department of State, USAID, and any 

other agency that utilizes a Working Capital Fund to include in the 

CBJ the total budgetary resources for the offices that use funds 

from a WCF. The CBJ shall also include a table on WCF resources 

that will serve as the baseline for reprogramming and transfer purposes. 

The Committee directs that the CBJs include estimated savings 

from any proposed office or mission closing and actual prior year 

representation expenses for each department and agency that is 

authorized such expenses. 

DEFINITION OF PROGRAM, PROJECT, AND ACTIVITY

For purposes of Public Law 99–177, as amended, with respect to 

appropriations contained in this act the term ‘‘program, project, 

and activity’’ shall mean any item for which a dollar amount is 

specified in this report or this act. In addition, the definition of 

PPA in section 7023 of this act shall apply to the accounts listed 

in that section. 
12 

In carrying out any Presidential sequestration, the Department 

of State, USAID, and other agencies funded by this act shall conform to the definition of PPA described above. 

DEFINITIONS

The Committee includes language in this act making certain actions, such as obligations of funds, ‘‘subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations.’’ This language requires a separate notification to the Committee 15 days 

prior to the proposed obligation of funds or other action that is the 

subject of this special notification requirement, regardless of what 

may be contained in an agency’s CBJ or in the operating and spend 

plans required in section 7076 of this act. Thus, such CBJs, operating and spend plans do not suffice as justification for purposes 

of satisfying the special notification requirement. 

Unless expressly provided to the contrary, the term ‘‘appropriate 

congressional committees’’ as used in this act and report shall 

mean the Committees on Appropriations and Foreign Relations of 

the Senate and the Committees on Appropriations and Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives. 

REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

The Committee directs the Department of State and other agencies funded by this act to notify the Committee of reprogrammings 

of funds as required by sections 7015 and 7019 of this act at the 

most detailed level of either the CBJ or the report accompanying 

this act, and the Committee expects to be notified of any significant 

departure from the CBJ or of any commitment that will require 

significant funding in future years. The Committee directs that 

staffing levels and future year impacts of reprogrammings be included with the notification. 

Section 7076 of this act requires operating and spend plans to be 

submitted not later than 45 days after enactment of this act. The 

Committee expects operating plans to include, as applicable, a comparison between the most recent congressional directives or approved funding levels and the funding level proposed by the department or agency; WCF resources; title VIII funds aligned with enduring operations and assistance funds; applicable legislative references, including the authority to spend funds in a manner notwithstanding any other provision of law; and a clear, concise, and 

informative description/justification. The Committee directs the Department of State, USAID, and other agencies to provide quarterly 

updates of salary and benefits costs and on-board staffing levels 

(employees and contractors). 

The Committee is disappointed by the absence of useful information in prior fiscal year spend plans and congressional notifications. 

Broadly stated goals and dollar amounts only at the account level 

with few details about how funds will be spent are not sufficient 

for effective oversight. The Committee requests departments and 

agencies to consult with the Committee on the content, format, and 

manner of submission for such documents. 
13 

REPORTING REQUIREMENT GUIDELINES

All reports required by the Committee are due 90 days after enactment of this act except those with a specific date otherwise indicated. To save paper and printing costs, the Committee directs that 

one copy of reports, congressional notifications, and correspondence 

be jointly addressed to the chairs of the Committee and subcommittee, and one copy jointly addressed to the ranking members 

of the Committee and subcommittee. Reports required by the Committee may also be electronically transmitted and posted on the 

Department of State and USAID Web sites, as appropriate. 

The Committee directs that the Department of State, USAID, 

BBG, MCC, USADF, and IAF no longer send to the Committee the 

quarterly, semi-annual, or annual reports from their respective 

OIG, as these documents are already received by the Committee directly from the OIG. Instead, the Committee directs these agencies 

to notify the Committee by email or letter that their OIG has sent 

such reports. 

PROHIBITION ON TAXATION OF UNITED STATES ASSISTANCE

The Committee is concerned that despite the inclusion of section 

7013 (Prohibition on Taxation of United States Assistance) in prior 

acts making appropriations for the Department of State, foreign operations, and related programs, foreign governments are taxing assistance provided by the United States. This section also limited 

the 200 percent penalty to be assessed in a subsequent year for 

taxes on commodities only. The Committee has modified section 

7013(b) (Reimbursement of Foreign Taxes) of this act to make the 

200 percent withholding requirement consistent with subsection (a) 

(Prohibitions on Taxation), and to more clearly define the terms in 

subsection (g) (Definitions). 

The Committee intends that with the exception of income taxes 

assessed to local employees and personal service contractors, no tax 

(including value added taxes and customs duties on commodities, 

and taxes on U.S. and international businesses and organizations) 

should be assessed against assistance made available by titles III 

through VI and VIII of this act. If a country or entity does not provide substantial reimbursement of such taxes, 200 percent of total 

assessed taxes shall be withheld from subsequent fiscal year assistance for the central government of the taxing country and reprogrammed for assistance to other countries. The Committee directs 

all departments and agencies that provide assistance funded under 

titles III through VI and VIII of this act to report on the department’s or agency’s rules and procedures, including for assisting 

businesses and contractors to obtain the necessary tax-exemption 

documentation and for training contracting officers to properly 

identify taxes in contracts and invoices, to implement this section. 

STRATEGIC PUBLIC DIPLOMACY AND COMMUNICATIONS

Public Diplomacy Coordination.—The Committee remains concerned with the absence of a coherent and unified strategic public 

diplomacy and communications effort by the Department of State, 

USAID, and BBG, and notes that United States interests abroad 

are adversely impacted by the inability of agencies to clearly and 
14 

effectively coordinate the articulation of policies, programs, and information to a global audience. The Department of State OIG’s 

findings as reported in the February 2012 ‘‘Inspection of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs’’ and the May 2013 ‘‘Inspection of the Bureau of International Information Programs’’ are 

consistent with the Committee’s concerns. 

In previous fiscal years, the Committee has recommended the development of communication strategies by agencies and improved 

coordination among programs, with limited success. Therefore, the 

Committee directs the Secretary of State to ensure that the Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs coordinates the strategic public diplomacy and communication activities 

of the Department of State, USAID, and BBG, as appropriate. 

Among other activities, the Undersecretary shall review activities 

and programs and make recommendations to the Secretary to reduce redundancies as well as address gaps in programs; facilitate 

a meaningful dialogue between the Department and BBG regarding the analysis of language service and broadcast priorities as part 

of the annual language service review, and advise the Secretary on 

BBG priorities and broadcast strategies; and review public diplomacy and media programs funded by the Department of State and 

USAID and make recommendations to the Secretary and the 

USAID Administrator to ensure coordination between programs 

and reduce redundancies. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit, not later 

than 180 days after enactment of this act, the status of the Undersecretary’s implementation of the above responsibilities and a Department of State, USAID, and BBG joint strategic plan for public 

diplomacy and communication, a description of public diplomacy 

priorities, and a clarification of the responsibilities of ECA and IIP 

and the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, to 

ensure adequate coordination and minimize unnecessary overlap, 

including an evaluation of the function of the Office of Audience 

Research and Evaluation. 

Global Internet Freedom.—Section 7072 of this act provides 

$44,600,000 for programs to promote Internet freedom globally for 

countries whose governments restrict freedom of speech and association on the Internet. 

The Committee recognizes the complexities of promoting Internet 

freedom, and that a multi-faceted U.S. Government-wide strategy 

is required to concurrently support the efforts of democracy activists abroad to counter the development and implementation of repressive Internet-related laws and regulations; to counter intimidation and violence against bloggers and other users; and to enhance 

digital security training and capacity for democracy activists and 

other users. Circumvention tools and technology alone are not sufficient to empower such activists. The Committee endorses the objectives of the May 2011 International Strategy for Cyberspace. 

The Committee requires that programs to promote Internet freedom shall be coordinated with other democracy, governance, and 

broadcasting programs funded by this act and in country assistance, democracy, and broadcasting strategies, as appropriate. 

The Committee believes that the research of key threats to Internet freedom and development of technologies that provide or en-
15 

hance access to the Internet is an ongoing process requiring sufficient funding to maintain a technological advantage over the censorship techniques imposed by authoritarian governments. The 

Committee requires that all research and development activities be 

coordinated with other relevant Federal departments and agencies 

in order to share information, technologies, and best practices, and 

to assess the effectiveness of technological advances. 

The Committee requires spend plans for the uses of funds appropriated by this act to promote Internet freedom. The spend plans 

shall also include a description of safeguards established by relevant agencies to ensure that programs are not used for illicit purposes. In addition, the Committee directs the Secretary of State, 

the USAID Administrator, and the BBG to provide a summary of 

all Internet freedom spend plans demonstrating that there is no 

unnecessary overlap between the Department and other agencies, 

and that the spend plans support coordinated strategic priorities. 

The Committee recommends $19,600,000 for the BBG’s Internet 

freedom and circumvention programs, a two-fold increase above 

current program levels. The Committee provides for longer term 

leases for BBG satellite transmissions, which significantly reduces 

annual lease costs. The Committee expects that as the BBG renegotiates its satellite lease costs the lease savings shall be used 

to further enhance its Internet freedom and circumvention programs. The Committee directs the BBG to regularly report to the 

appropriate congressional committees the lease savings utilized for 

such programs, and to consult with the committees prior to using 

such savings for administrative expenses. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to consult with the 

Committee on options to mitigate the proliferation of censorship 

and other technologies developed by U.S. companies to authoritarian governments. 

Funds are allocated according to the following table and are subject to the provisions of section 7019 of this act:

COUNTRIES OF SPECIAL CONCERN

AFGHANISTAN

The Committee recommends $759,692,000 for the operations of 

the Department of State, including $15,096,000 for public diplomacy, and $149,771,000 for the operations of USAID in Afghanistan. The Committee encourages Embassy Kabul to accelerate its 

downsizing and consolidation of operations and personnel in light 

of the 2014 military drawdown. 
16 

The Committee recognizes that the diplomatic footprint in Afghanistan is determined by many factors, including security conditions, costs, and coordination with international and U.S. forces remaining in-country. The Committee expects the Secretary of State 

to continue to keep the appropriate congressional committees informed of any significant changes in Department of State and 

USAID operations, including plans to close facilities in insecure 

areas or to acquire additional property adjacent to the Embassy. 

The Committee recommends $958,300,000 for assistance for Afghanistan in this act, and updates prior year conditionality on aid. 

The Committee expects amounts of assistance to decrease significantly in the future due to changes in security conditions, challenges associated with the formation of a new government, reduced 

regional platforms, and travel limitations on personnel that may be 

imposed by Embassy Kabul. The Committee notes the large pipeline of assistance for Afghanistan which exceeds $4,500,000,000, including prior year funding and estimates for fiscal year 2013, and 

directs the Secretary of State to submit a multi-year assistance 

plan not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, describing 

anticipated amounts and types of U.S. assistance for Afghanistan 

following the drawdown of U.S. military forces. 

Among other assistance requirements, 25 percent of the funds 

appropriated for Afghanistan by this act are withheld until the Secretary of State certifies, among other actions, that a successful 

democratic election has been held and a U.S.-Afghan Bilateral Security Agreement has been negotiated. The Committee requires 

that security-related assistance provided in this and other acts as 

on-budget support to the Government of Afghanistan is calculated 

as part of the total U.S. on-budget contribution per the Tokyo Conference, and endorses the continued provision of such assistance by 

USAID on a reimbursable basis only. The Committee recommends 

that the Department of State continue to use international donor 

conferences as a means of coordinating pledges and conditionality 

on assistance for Afghanistan. The Committee expects that gender 

related programs remain a top priority during the upcoming elections and transition, and that continued emphasis be placed on programs and activities that regionally integrate Afghanistan into 

neighboring economies and cooperative security arrangements. 

The Committee is concerned with the ability of donors and implementers to conduct effective program and project oversight before, 

during, and after the transition, and does not support the use of 

third party monitors for such purposes. The Committee expects 

that if security conditions preclude adequate oversight of programs 

or projects, such activities will not be initiated or continued. The 

Committee notes that LES conduct monitoring of programs in 

neighboring countries, often in conjunction with the host government, and the use of LES in Afghanistan should be explored more 

fully. 

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

Assistance Program for continued assistance for individuals and 

communities that suffer losses as a result of military operations. 

The Committee directs USAID to consult with the Committee on 

the use of funds prior to obligation. 
17 

The Committee continues to support assistance for the Afghan 

Reconstruction Trust Fund and its National Solidarity Program to 

build the capacity of Afghan communities to participate in and 

manage their own development projects, and directs USAID to 

prioritize support for this program. 

The Committee recommends that assistance for Afghanistan 

under the ESF and INCLE headings be used to support the GoA 

in replicating the Helmand Food Zone program in Kandahar. 

The Committee supports the New Silk Road Strategy but remains concerned that not enough is being done to support such regional approaches to integrate trade and economies in South Asia, 

which is exacerbated by the division of responsibility between the 

Office of the Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan 

and the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a plan for the reintegration of SRAP into the Bureau of South and Central Asian 

Affairs. 

The Committee directs that funds made available for cross border training and programs between Afghanistan and the Central 

Asian countries shall be the joint responsibility of the USAID missions in Kabul and Almaty. 

EGYPT

The Committee notes that due to events on July 3, 2013, a democratically elected government is no longer in place in Egypt. As 

Egypt’s political transition continues to evolve, the Committee recommends assistance for Egypt only if the Secretary of State certifies that conditions specified in section 7041(a) are met. Waiver 

authority is included for a portion of such assistance. 

IRAN

The Committee condemns actions by the Government of Iran 

which contribute to instability in the Near East region, particularly 

in Lebanon and Syria. The Committee remains concerned with the 

danger Iran’s pursuit of nuclear capabilities poses to the United 

States and regional allies. The act continues the terms and conditions of section 7041(c) of Public Law 112–74. 

The act requires that funds appropriated under titles I and III 

shall be made available to promote democracy and human rights 

in, and for broadcasting to, Iran, and the Committee expects that 

not less than $30,000,000 shall be made available for such purposes under the ESF heading. The Secretary of State is required 

to consult with the appropriate congressional committees on the 

policy and strategy of the United States to promote democracy and 

human rights in Iran prior to the initial obligation of funds made 

available for such purposes by this act, including implementation 

of the Internet freedom strategy required by section 414 of Public 

Law 112–158. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report 

to the appropriate congressional committees detailing the activities 

of the Department of State, USAID, and BBG to promote democracy and human rights in Iran over the past 2 fiscal years, including program descriptions, financial data, and assessments of program effectiveness in meeting stated goals and objectives. The re-
18 

port shall be updated 180 days after its initial submission, and 

may be submitted in classified form if necessary. 

The Committee directs the BBG to consult with the appropriate 

congressional committees regarding the audience share of U.S. 

broadcasting to Iran as compared to other international broadcasters, and whether U.S. policies toward Iran are presented clearly and effectively in such broadcasts, and in a balanced manner. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report 

to the Committee describing steps taken by the Department of 

State to secure the release of Pastor Saeed Abedini, who is jailed 

in Tehran. The report shall include an assessment of Pastor 

Abedini’s health and welfare, and treatment by Iranian jailers. 

The Committee notes with concern the plight of political prisoners in Iran, including Nasrin Sotoudeh, an Iranian lawyer and 

human rights activist imprisoned in Iran. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report 

to the appropriate congressional committees not later than 180 

days after enactment of this act detailing the steps taken by the 

Secretary and the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations to implement section 415 of Public Law 112–158. 

IRAQ

The Committee recommends $1,124,125,000 for the operations of the Department of State in Iraq (including $428,700,000 in prior 

year unobligated balances), and $15,338,000 for USAID operations 

in Iraq and directs that funding for such operations be provided in 

a manner that accelerates the agency’s departure from that country, currently scheduled for 2015. The Committee supports the 

‘‘glide path’’ reduction in operations and personnel which is aimed 

at bringing Iraq operations in line with those at more traditional 

missions. The Committee supports the President’s budget request 

for a NCC in Erbil, does not include funding for the Erbil Diplomatic Support Center, and requires a cost-benefit analysis to explore other alternatives for the current operation of Consulate 

Basrah, the cost for which is expected to total $295,000,000 in fiscal year 2014. The Committee directs that should the Department 

of State determine that the continuation of Consulate Basrah is not 

fiscally prudent and that the region can be covered from Baghdad, 

any savings should be used for the security costs of expeditionary, 

interim, or temporary facilities elsewhere in the world. 

The Committee recommends a total of $552,000,000 for assistance for Iraq in this act, including the President’s budget request 

for FMF. The Committee requires a cost-matching requirement for 

INCLE and NADR assistance, and expects subsequent fiscal year 

budget requests for assistance for Iraq to continue to decline as the 

GoI assumes responsibilities for its needs out of its own resources, 

particularly oil revenues. The Committee directs the Secretary of 

State to submit a report to the Committee detailing a transition 

plan for rule of law activities from the Department of State to the 

GoI. 

The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for democracy programs 

in Iraq, which shall be the responsibility of DRL, in consultation 

with the Chief of Mission, of which $5,000,000 is for the Marla 

Ruzicka Iraqi War Victims Fund for continued assistance for indi-
19 

viduals and communities that suffer losses as a result of armed 

conflict. The Committee directs USAID to consult with the Committee on the use of funds prior to obligation, and plans for the 

transfer of this program to Iraqi entities. 

The Committee continues support for programs to support vulnerable Iraqi ethnic and religious minorities in the Nineveh Plains, 

and for the Iraqi Christian community. 

Section 7034(g)(2) of this act extends the waiver of the requirement for an ARB assessment in Afghanistan and Iraq in the event 

of serious injury, loss of life, or significant destruction of property 

at, or related to, a U.S. Government mission abroad as proposed in 

the President’s budget request. It is the Committee’s intent that 

this is the last year for such waiver in Iraq. Section 7041(f)(1) of 

this act withholds from obligation 10 percent of funds for the costs 

of operations at Embassy Baghdad until the Secretary of State reports to the Committee on diplomatic facility construction projects 

in Iraq. 

The Committee recognizes the destabilizing impact the conflict in 

Syria has had on the Middle East and North Africa, and provides 

an additional source of funding for programs under the CFCF 

heading. CFCF assistance should be made available to help mitigate related sectarian violence in Iraq, if such assistance is requested by the GoI. 

PAKISTAN

The Committee recommends $147,923,000 for the operations of 

the Department of State, including $16,867,000 for public diplomacy programs and $33,826,000 for the operations of USAID in 

Pakistan. The Committee notes continued progress with the construction of a NEC in Islamabad, which will provide personnel with 

secure facilities that meet security and earthquake standards. 

While the Committee endorses the budget request for the construction of additional facilities at Consulate Karachi, the security and 

management challenges posed by Consulate Peshawar remain a 

concern. The Committee requests the Department of State to regularly update the Committee on progress in upgrading that facility 

and identifying and securing a site for the construction of a NCC. 

The Committee recommends $696,870,000 for assistance for 

Pakistan, and notes the large pipeline for assistance which exceeds 

$2,500,000,000, including prior year funding and estimates for fiscal year 2013. 

The Committee continues conditions on assistance for Pakistan 

with minor modifications from prior years, and notes that the firstever civilian transition of power in that country may afford an opportunity to renew bilateral relations that are in the national interests of both the United States and Pakistan. The Committee encourages Embassy Islamabad to continue to prioritize U.S. assistance programs in an increasingly constrained domestic fiscal environment, and to reduce the number of pillars in which aid is provided. Priority should be provided to the education, energy and economic pillars, as well as security-related assistance and counter-extremism programs, particularly during the transition in Afghanistan. USAID and the Department of State should continue assistance for democracy programs to build on the successful 2012 elec-
20 

tions, and DRL is directed to submit to the Committee a multi-year 

strategy for promoting democracy and human rights in Pakistan. 

The Committee expects the Government of Pakistan to make the 

welfare of its own people a top priority and to demonstrate this by 

increasing national budgets for health and education. 

The Committee remains concerned with the welfare of Dr. Shakil 

Afridi and conditions assistance on his release from prison. 

The Committee supports continued funding for the Pakistan Civilian Assistance Program for assistance for individuals and communities that suffer losses as a result of military operations. The 

Committee directs USAID to consult with the Committee on the 

use of funds prior to obligation. 

The Committee remains concerned with the lack of progress in 

credibly investigating and prosecuting Pakistani military personnel 

for human rights violations, including torture and extra-judicial 

executions, and expects section 620M of the FAA to be applied to 

funds made available for military assistance for Pakistan.

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 2Overseas contingency operations is funded under title VIII. 

The Committee recommends $7,089,851,000 for Diplomatic and 

Consular Programs, of which up to $1,867,251,000 is for Worldwide 

Security Protection, including security costs in Iraq. An additional 

$1,024,908,000 in title VIII under this heading is designated for 

OCO. 

The Committee recommendation separates the functions funded 

under this heading to provide transparency in the uses of funds. 

However, the Department of State may reprogram funds as necessary, subject to prior consultation with the Committee. 

Human Resources.—The Committee recommends $2,548,716,000 

for all U.S. direct hire salaries at overseas and domestic United 

States diplomatic missions, and does not include the requested authority and funding for phase III of Foreign Service overseas comparability pay, as in prior fiscal years. 

Overseas Programs.—The Committee recommends 

$2,033,386,000 for the operational programs of the Department of 

State’s regional bureaus, which are responsible for managing U.S. 

foreign policy through bilateral and multilateral relationships. 

Funds support U.S. embassies, consulates, and other diplomatic 

posts worldwide, and provide myriad services to millions of U.S. 

citizens living, working, studying, and serving abroad, including 

those who are arrested and imprisoned in foreign countries. The 

Committee recommends funding for operations, including for public 

diplomacy programs, to be used at overseas posts. 

Diplomatic Policy and Support.—The Committee recommends 

$786,180,000 for the operational programs of the Department of 

State’s functional bureaus to provide overall policy direction, co-
22 

ordination, and program management among U.S. missions abroad. 

The Committee recommends not less than $7,330,000 for salary 

and program costs of the Office for Global Women’s Issues within 

the Office of the Secretary; not less than $26,394,000 for salary and 

program costs for DRL; and not less than $37,851,000 for program 

costs for the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental 

and Scientific Affairs. 

Security Programs.—The Committee recommends $1,715,600,000 

for the operation of security programs, including $1,611,385,000 for 

WSP to protect diplomatic personnel, overseas diplomatic missions, 

residences, and domestic facilities and information. An additional 

$255,866,000 is included within the Human Resources function for 

salaries for a total of $1,867,251,000 for WSP in this title. The 

Committee recommends an additional $900,274,000 for OCO costs 

for WSP. In recognition of normalization of Iraq operations and to 

more accurately reflect the full costs of security, the Committee has 

included in WSP the security costs for Iraq and other posts that 

were funded in D&CP in prior fiscal years. 

The Committee recommends full funding for the WSP costs related to the Increased Security Proposal developed by the Department of State to address the recommendations of the Benghazi 

ARB report and the Department’s worldwide security assessments. 

The Committee includes language in section 7004(f)(1) of this act 

that requires funds appropriated under this heading and the 

ESCM heading (from proceeds of sales only) be made available to 

address security vulnerabilities at diplomatic facilities abroad, 

which shall be the responsibility of the Assistant Secretary for the 

Bureau of Diplomatic Security and Foreign Missions, in consultation with the Director of the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations. The Committee notes that expeditionary, interim, and temporary facilities lack consistent definitions by the Department of 

State and often lack a dedicated source of funding for security upgrades, as was highlighted in the Benghazi ARB report. The Committee expects sufficient funds to be made available for physical security upgrades and local guard staffing at expeditionary, interim, 

and temporary facilities, and requests the Department of State to 

submit, in writing, clear definitions and attributes of such facilities. 

The Committee notes that the Department of State’s comprehensive plan dated July 16, 2013, was not responsive to the reporting 

requirement in section 1707(c) of Public Law 113–6, and the Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a detailed Increased 

Security Proposal including the results of the security assessments 

by post and country and the Department’s priorities in, and estimated costs of, addressing such results. The Committee directs the 

Department to regularly consult on any changes to the Plan in a 

timely manner. 

The Committee also directs the Secretary of State to submit a report to the appropriate congressional committees detailing the status of the Department of State’s implementation of the 29 recommendations to improve security at diplomatic facilities overseas 

contained in the Benghazi ARB report and relevant recommendations of previous ARBs. For any recommendation not fully implemented, the report shall include an estimated completion date and 
23 

cost of implementation. The report shall be updated not later than 

180 days after the first report is submitted. 

The Committee recommends that the Department of State conduct joint training exercises with the security force of a foreign government that is responsible for protecting U.S. diplomatic facilities 

overseas and that receives training or equipment from the Department for such purposes. An exercise component may increase response time in the event of a crisis, and provide additional information on the vulnerabilities in response capabilities. 

PROGRAM ISSUES

The Arctic.—The Committee recognizes the strategic importance 

of the Arctic region to the long-term economic and national security 

interests of the United States and notes that the United States will 

assume the Chair of the Arctic Council in May 2015. The Committee recommends that the Department of State utilize available 

funds to increase the number of personnel assigned to Arctic Council issues. Section 7034(t) of this act provides up to $1,000,000 for 

grants to support the application of science and technology to foreign policy issues in the Arctic region, including facilitating the 

participation of indigenous communities in the Council. The Committee encourages the Department of State to establish the position 

of United States Ambassador to the Arctic in order to enhance engagement with other Arctic nations. 

Atrocities Prevention Board.—The Committee recommends funding under this title and USAID’s Operating Expenses account to 

train relevant personnel at the Department of State and USAID in 

genocide and mass atrocities prevention and to support full participation in the interagency Atrocities Prevention Board, including 

staff to carry out the responsibilities of the APB, in accordance 

with Presidential Study Directive 10. The Committee directs the 

Secretary of State to submit a report describing the key objectives 

of the APB, its activities thus far, and its plans to train relevant 

personnel. 

Consular Lookout and Support System.—The Committee directs 

the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to implement the August 4, 2011 Presidential Proclamation relating to the suspension of entry of certain persons who 

participate in human rights violations. 

Cost Savings and Efficiencies.—The Committee recommends 

funding for the Department of State’s travel budget at no higher 

than the fiscal year 2013 estimates reported in the President’s 

budget request. 

The Committee directs that the Department of State reduce the 

number of information resource management staff assigned to the 

overseas regional information management centers. The Department of State’s OIG concluded that of the 100 staff deployed overseas, 80 percent do not perform time sensitive work and do not 

need to be assigned overseas. The OIG estimates that $18,300,000 

could be saved annually by moving such staff to the U.S. 

The Committee also directs the Department to further implement the centralization of voucher processing for overseas posts, as 

appropriate. The OIG found that the cost for centralized processing 
24 

is about $12 per voucher while processing vouchers at post averages $34 per voucher, and can range as high as $97. 

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

Cultural Heritage Programs, including $1,000,000 for the Cultural 

Antiquities Task Force, and for not less than five large-scale 

projects. The Committee recognizes the important public diplomacy 

role of this program, as well as its contribution in preserving some 

of the world’s irreplaceable cultural antiquities. As in past years, 

the Department of State should consult with the Committee prior 

to the obligation of funds. 

Cyber Issues.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the 

Office of the Coordinator for Cyber Issues. The Committee notes 

the strategic use of cyber diplomacy as a means to create a more 

open, interoperable, secure, and stable global-cyberspace, and defines cyber diplomacy as, among other activities, the development 

of international norms of behavior in cyberspace, efforts to promote 

international dialogue and cooperation on cyber issues, international cyberspace governance capacity building, collaboration in 

international cybercrime investigations, and the promotion of Internet freedom. 

The Coordinator, in consultation with the heads of other relevant 

Federal agencies, is encouraged to consult on a regular basis with 

other governments and organizations on cybersecurity issues, including research and development, infrastructure protection, standards, and best practices in the field, and to consult with the Committee prior to providing funds to U.N. cyber programs. 

Export Control Reform Initiative.—The Committee supports the 

President’s Export Control Reform Initiative to modernize and reform the U.S. export control system, and encourages the Secretary 

of State, in coordination with the Secretary of Commerce, to directly inform businesses, particularly small businesses, about any 

new rules and regulations. 

Export Promotion Activities.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report on economic and business diplomacy efforts supported by the Department of State, the Ex-Im 

Bank, OPIC, USTDA, and other relevant components of the Federal Government operating under Chief of Mission authority at 

U.S. diplomatic missions. The report shall describe relevant programs and activities, particularly in Africa, including inter-agency 

coordination and outreach to the U.S. business community; address 

the alignment of U.S. commercial interests with regional development priorities; the development of relationships between the public and private sectors in other countries with U.S. businesses; and 

the contribution of such efforts to the competitiveness of U.S. businesses overseas. 

Human Rights Vetting.—The Committee supports the Department of State’s efforts to monitor U.S. military assistance for foreign security forces, in accordance with section 620M of the FAA. 

The vetting process applies to individuals who are candidates for 

U.S. training, to those individuals’ units, and to units that receive 

U.S. equipment or other assistance, as required by law. The Committee is aware of the technological challenges and staff time involved in the vetting process, and includes a provision under the 

FMF heading requiring that not less than .1 percent of funds ap-
25 

propriated for assistance for foreign security forces shall be used to 

carry out the requirements of section 620M. 

International Chancery Center.—The Committee recommends 

$5,970,150 and modified language under this heading in paragraph 

(5)(A) for the development, maintenance, and security of additional 

properties for use as an International Center, as authorized by section 5 of the International Center Act. The Committee understands 

that $5,400,000 is for one-time costs for infrastructure repairs at 

the International Center and planning and maintenance of the 

former Walter Reed Medical Center, and no further funds will be 

requested for these purposes. 

Office of Terrorism Finance and Economic Sanctions Policy.—The 

Committee recommends $4,000,000 for this office which develops 

strategies, in conjunction with other bureaus and agencies, for implementing sanctions regimes. This is an increase of $1,040,000 

above the budget request. 

Prevention of Discrimination and Abuse of LGBT Individuals 

Abroad.—The Committee supports legal reform and legal assistance to protect individuals from arrest or other persecution because 

of their sexual orientation or gender identity, and directs the Assistant Secretary of State for DRL, in consultation with the Assistant Administrator for DCHA, to submit a report not later than 180 

days after enactment of this act on strategies for supporting efforts 

that address the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and 

transgender communities in countries that continue to criminalize 

consensual relationships and expressions. 

Program Changes.—The Committee recommends $83,294,000 of 

the $114,929,000 in the President’s budget request to support the 

Burma program expansion; 11 new positions for increased diplomatic engagement in Asia and 5 new positions for the Office of the 

Coordinator for Cyber Issues; initiatives of the Bureau of Western 

Hemisphere Affairs, Bureau of African Affairs, DRL, INR, Information Resource Management, and the Office of Medical Director; post 

assignment travel; foreign assistance dashboard and budget system 

upgrades; 12 international conferences planned for fiscal year 2014; 

$2,500,000 for the Office of Global Women’s Issues Full Participation Fund; and $22,500,000 for the Arab Spring Regional Impact 

Initiative. 

Public Diplomacy.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$501,302,000 for public diplomacy programs to be funded through 

direct appropriations and additional revenue from applicable fees. 

Representation Expenses.—The Committee does not include a 

provision in the budget request authorizing the Department of 

State to transfer up to $1,000,000 from D&CP to Representation 

Expenses. 

Standards for Accessibility.—The Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the USAID Administrator shall seek to 

ensure that construction projects funded by this act are fully accessible to people with disabilities and in compliance with the USAID 

Policy on Standards for Accessibility for the Disabled, the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design, or other 

similarly rigorous accessibility standards. 

Tibet.—The Committee recommends not less than $1,000,000 for 

the Office of the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues to carry out 
26 

the responsibilities detailed in section 621(d) of Public Law 107– 

228, as well as for convening and coordinating meetings for appropriate Federal agencies, NGOs, and representatives of the Tibetan 

leadership in exile. 

Trade and Other Sanctions.—The Committee notes that certain 

countries have offered asylum to Edward Snowden, an American 

citizen who divulged classified information to the press. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to consult with the appropriate congressional committees on sanction options against any 

country that provides asylum to Mr. Snowden, including revocation 

or suspension of trade privileges and preferences. 

Trafficking in Persons.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$50,200,000 in this act for TIP programs, of which $6,521,000 is included under the D&CP heading for the J/TIP ($2,151,000 for programs and $4,370,000 for salaries). The Committee directs the Secretary of State to make publicly available an appropriate human 

trafficking hotline number and Web site information in Consular 

Affairs public waiting areas in all U.S. embassies and consulates 

in a timely manner. 

The Committee recognizes the need for transparency regarding 

the Department of State’s use of waiver authority to prevent certain countries from being downgraded from the Tier 2 Watch List 

to Tier 3 in the annual Trafficking in Persons Report (the Report). 

The Committee directs the Department of State to include in subsequent reports an assessment of progress made by each country 

issued such a waiver in relation to the country’s written plan. 

The Committee directs GAO to assess the methodology used in 

the preparation of the Report, and the effectiveness of the Report 

as a tool to encourage countries to address human trafficking. The 

GAO should include specific recommendations for improving the 

methodology and effectiveness of the Report. 

Travel Cards and Purchase Cards.—The Committee directs the 

Secretary of State to report on the fiscal year 2013 use of Government-funded credit cards (including Department of State travel 

cards and purchase cards), including the number and value of purchases that did not comply with regulations, whether reimbursement was received for noncompliant purchases, and the Department’s policy for disciplining employees who abuse the use of Government credit cards. 

Victims of Terrorism.—The Committee intends that survivors of 

Federal employees killed overseas by acts of terrorism receive appropriate compensation from the U.S. Government. Section 7084 of 

this act authorizes the Department of State and other Federal 

agencies to distribute just and equitable compensation for victims 

of international terrorism and their surviving family members, including U.S. Foreign Service officers, Foreign Service nationals, 

and civil servants. Survivors of victims of international terrorism 

shall be entitled to a death gratuity, an enhanced life insurance 

benefit, and an education benefit that is consistent to the benefits 

provided to survivors of members of U.S. Armed Forces killed in 

combat. The Committee notes that $4,000,000 was appropriated in 

fiscal year 2008, to be available until expended, for compensation 

to the families of members of the Foreign Service or other U.S. 

Government employees, or their dependents. The Committee is 
27 

troubled that notwithstanding prior direction to the Department of 

State to provide a legislative proposal in order to expend these 

funds in a just and equitable manner, no such legislation has been 

brought forward to date. 

The Committee expects the Government of Libya to continue to 

support and assist the investigation of the bombing of Pan Am 103 

and any other terrorist attacks attributable to the government of 

Muammar Qaddafi against U.S. citizens, including by providing access to documents, witnesses, and other information. 

The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary 

of State, shall submit a report detailing the amount of assets 

owned by the Qaddafi family in Libya that remains blocked, the 

amount of settlement funds available to pay Libya-related awards, 

and the total amount of certified awards.

28 

The Committee recommends $69,406,000 for Office of Inspector 

General, and an additional $49,650,000 in title VIII under this 

heading is designated for OCO. 

The Committee directs the Inspectors General of the Department 

of State and USAID and SIGAR to coordinate audit plans and activities to minimize unnecessary duplication, ensure comprehensive 

oversight plans, and maximize the effective use of resources. 

The Committee directs the OIG to provide to the Committee a 

consolidated list of recommendations to the Department of State for 

position reductions, office downsizings or closures, and other rightsizing opportunities since October 1, 2012. The report should also 

include projected cost savings and the Department of State’s responses to such recommendations and actions taken. 

The Committee notes that the administration did not request 

funding for SIGIR, which is expected to sunset by the end of October, 2013, and recommends $5,200,000 for the OIG’s Middle East 

Regional Office to fund increased OIG oversight of programs and 

operations in Iraq.

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 2Overseas contingency operations are funded under title VIII. 

The Committee recommends $595,000,000 for Educational and 

Cultural Exchange Programs. An additional $8,628,000 in title VIII 

under this heading is designated for OCO. 

The Committee recognizes the importance of international exchanges and directs that programs funded under this heading will 

support U.S. foreign policy objectives. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to broaden participation to high priority groups that have been traditionally underrepresented, such as youth and individuals from rural and impoverished areas, the Benjamin Gilman International Scholarship, 

International Visitor Leadership, Citizen Exchange youth programs, and educator programs. The Committee also urges the Secretary to continue to give priority to critical language programs, 

programs providing overseas training in critical languages for 

American students, and exchange programs from countries with 

high national security importance, including those with significant 

Muslim populations. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit within 

180 days after enactment of this act a multi-year plan to significantly expand the number, diversity, and experience of participants 

beyond traditional study abroad programs and to increase the pool 

of potential applicants for traditional exchange programs through 

stand-alone, technology-supported, sustained, people-to-people educational exchange opportunities, including virtual exchanges. The 

plan should include annual targets for the number of exchange par-
29 

ticipants that are a significant increase in Department-funded participants (approximately 58,000 in fiscal year 2010) and expand the 

participation of traditionally under-represented groups; a proposal 

for meeting the targets in a manner that decreases the average 

cost per exchange participant; a multi-year timeline for increasing 

the number of participants and decreasing cost per participant; an 

assessment of the impact of all Department-funded exchange programs; and estimated annual costs. 

The Committee supports a new virtual educational exchange initiative between the United States and Middle East, and intends 

that funds be matched by sources other than the U.S. Government, 

including from private foundations, foreign governments, and the 

private sector. Such an initiative can broaden understanding and 

engagement between U.S. and Middle Eastern and North African 

youth in a cost-effective manner. 

The Committee recognizes that the Muskie Fellowship Program 

has helped individuals from Eurasia and Central Asia to promote 

mutual understanding, build democracy, and foster the transition 

to market economies, and directs that a portion of the Fulbright 

awards from this region are designated as Edmund S. Muskie Fellowships. 

The Committee supports the President’s budget request for exchange programs with Japan, including youth and student exchanges through the Tomodachi Initiative. 

The Committee provides authority for academic fellowships, 

scholarships, and exchanges for foreign academic professionals and 

foreign university students from countries in the Near East region, 

subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committee. 

The Committee supports the Secretary of State’s efforts to reduce 

the administrative and overhead costs of exchange programs and 

expects that savings from such efforts will be used to increase the 

number of participants. 

Funds are allocated according to the following table and are subject to the provisions of section 7019 of this act:

Changes to Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs.—The 

Committee is concerned that ECA has modified educational and 

cultural exchange programs without adequate consultation with 

the appropriate congressional committees, and requires the Secretary of State to submit a report to the Committee on such modifications since calendar year 2011. The Committee does not intend 

ECA to subject administrative or de minimus modifications to the 
30 

notification requirement under this heading. The Committee also 

directs the Secretary of State to consult with the Committee prior 

to implementing changes to exchange programs proposed for fiscal 

year 2014. 

Summer Work Travel and High School Exchange Programs.— 

The Committee recognizes that the Department of State has taken, 

and continues to take, steps to strengthen regulations and oversight of these programs to ensure they are primarily cultural and 

educational, do not divert jobs from Americans, and the potential 

for coercion or exploitation is minimized. The Committee expects to 

be informed in a timely manner of improvements to these programs 

and any recurring problems.

The Committee directs the administration to submit a semiannual report on the allotment and expenditure of representation 

funds. 

PROTECTION OF FOREIGN MISSIONS AND OFFICIALS

Appropriations, 2013 1 ........................................................................... $26,991,000 

Budget estimate, 2014 ........................................................................... 28,200,000

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not

The Committee recommends $28,200,000 for Protection of Foreign Missions and Officials. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to continue to submit a semiannual report on the number of claims for extraordinary 

protective services by eligible jurisdictions and certified as meeting 

program requirements, and the amount of unobligated funds available to pay such claims. 

The Committee is informed that outstanding eligible claims for 

the extraordinary protective services provided to foreign missions 

and officials from qualifying jurisdictions submitted to the Department of State exceed $88,000,000. Section 7080 of this act authorizes the Secretary to transfer up to $50,000,000 in expired unobligated balances from D&CP to this account to be used for such certified eligible claims.

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 2Overseas contingency operations are funded under title VIII. 

The Committee recommends $2,105,803,00 for Embassy Security, 

Construction, and Maintenance, of which $1,320,452,000 is for 

worldwide security upgrades and $785,351,000 is for other construction, operations, and maintenance. An additional $558,548,000 

in title VIII under this heading is designated for OCO. The total 

amount appropriated by this act is $25,000,000 above the President’s budget request for the Increased Security Proposal, including 

at least $15,000,000 from the proceeds of sale of diplomatic facilities. 

Section 7076 of this act requires the Secretary of State to submit 

an operating plan for funds appropriated under this heading, which 

should include all resources available to the Department of State 

in fiscal year 2014 for operations, maintenance, and construction, 

and an accounting of the actual and anticipated proceeds of sales 

for all projects in fiscal year 2013. 

The Committee is concerned that the Department of State is not 

adequately balancing decisions about U.S. diplomatic presence 

abroad with increasingly costly security and construction requirements and shrinking budgetary resources. The Committee is also 

concerned that Embassy construction projects are not sufficiently 

prioritized and that construction and security costs are not always 

consistent with mission size, location, or threat environment, or reflect our national interest priorities. The Department of State’s 

periodic rightsizing reviews are more focused on staff growth and 

the size of other agencies’ presence than with more fundamental 

questions of what presence we require where, and how new security challenges and related costs should be reassessed. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to provide the appropriate congressional committees with a new comprehensive assessment of 

these factors, including: 

—the current relevance of the principle of universal bilateral diplomatic presence if the associated costs cannot be sustained; 

—alternatives, including expanded use of regional embassies accredited to several foreign governments and creation of Washington-based Ambassadors accredited to foreign governments; 

and 

—the utility of constituent posts such as consulates where their 

functions could be assumed centrally and where construction, 

security and other associated costs make them unaffordable.

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 

The Committee recommends $9,652,000 for Emergencies in the 

Diplomatic and Consular Service. The Committee also authorizes 

the transfer of up to $10,000,000 under the D&CP heading for 

emergency evacuations and rewards. 

The Committee directs the administration to regularize funding 

for costs currently funded under this heading that are not related 

to unforeseen emergencies or the rewards program by requesting 

funding in fiscal year 2015 for these other costs under the appropriate accounts. 

The Committee directs that the quarterly reports required by 

section 124 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, fiscal years 

1988 and 1989, as amended, include, by category, actual expenditures for the prior two fiscal years and cumulative totals for the 

current fiscal year of the funds available under this heading.

global food security challenges. 

Organization of American States.—The Committee directs the 

U.S. Mission to the OAS to work with other OAS member states 

to encourage the OAS Permanent Council to conduct a transparent 

accounting of current staffing and adopt personnel practices that 

establish transparent, merit-based human resource standards that 

are applied to all aspects of the OAS personnel system, including 

the budgetary implications of appointments to senior level trust 

and contract positions and the transfer of individuals from these 

positions into senior regular positions. 

United Nations Capital Master Plan.—The Committee notes that 

the administration did not request funds for the Capital Master 

Plan construction project for the U.N. headquarters in New York, 

and no funds are provided by this act for such purpose. 

United States Contributions.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State, at the time of the submission of the President’s 

budget to Congress under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States 

Code, to transmit to the Committee the most recent biennial budget prepared by the U.N. for the operations of the U.N. 

United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.—The Committee does not provide the request of $77,764,000 

for a U.S. contribution to UNESCO and an additional $38,882,000 

in Contingent Requirements for such a contribution, which is prohibited by law. 

Report.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit 

a report not later than 45 days after enactment of this act, detailing the amount of funds available for obligation or expenditure in 
34 

fiscal year 2014 under the CIO and IO&P headings that are withheld from obligation or expenditure due to any provision of law.

missions in countries where ethnic, religious, and political violence 

threatens regional stability and the safety of civilian populations. 

The Committee continues certain requirements for U.S. support for 

such missions, and section 7076 of this act requires submission of 

an operating plan not later than 45 days after enactment of this 

act, which should include each peacekeeping mission funded and a 

description of any credits applied.

OIG, and includes section 7082 of this act providing authority to 

the Board to hire a Chief Executive Officer for International Broadcasting who will have management and oversight responsibilities

to launch new programming to counter extremism in Africa, engage 
37 

new audiences in the Middle East and Burma, and to improve 

shortwave service to key audiences around the world.

adequate funding to sustain current levels: reductions to staffing of 

RFA Khmer service; the consolidation and reorganization of VOA 

Central News and English Division; reductions to staffing and 

radio broadcasts of VOA Georgian; or closing of the BBG Poro medium wave transmitting station. 

Strategic Priorities.—The Committee directs BBG to submit a report on how BBG’s broadcast policy reflects input from the Department of State and other relevant agencies, and further directs BBG 

to include in its CBJ the linkage between broadcast and foreign 

policy priorities for any proposed language service changes. 

VOA and RFA Tibetan Language Services.—The Committee supports the President’s budget request for VOA and RFA Tibetan 

services and expects the BBG to continue broadcast programs at 

not less than fiscal year 2013 levels.

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY

Appropriations, 2013 1 ........................................................................... $117,726,000 

Budget estimate, 2014 ........................................................................... 103,450,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 135,000,000 

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 

The Committee recommends $135,000,000 for the National Endowment for Democracy, of which $100,000,000 shall be allocated 

in the traditional and customary manner, as in prior fiscal years, 

to include the core institutes. The Committee notes that the increase for the NED is offset by an equivalent decrease in the overall fiscal year 2014 budget request for democracy programs. 

The Committee recognizes the comparative advantages of the 

NED in the promotion of democracy and human rights abroad, particularly given its status as an NGO, unparalleled experience in 

promoting freedom during the Cold War, and continued ability to 

conduct programs in the most hostile political environments. In 

many circumstances, the Committee recognizes the NED as a more 

appropriate and effective mechanism to promote democracy and 

human rights abroad than either the Department of State or 

USAID. Additional funds above the budget request are recommended for programs in the following countries: 

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY

Burma ................................................................................................................................................................... 6,000

The Committee expects the NED, DRL, and USAID to regularly 

consult and coordinate democracy and human rights activities. 

However, funds appropriated under this heading shall not be subject to prior approval by the Department of State or USAID, or to 

administrative or managerial surcharges, and the NED should not 
40 

be precluded from competitively bidding on other grant solicitations. 

The President of the NED shall submit a report on the uses of 

funds under this heading on a regional and country basis not later 

than 45 days after enactment of this act. The Committee directs 

the NED to comply with sections 7051 and 7078 of this act.

Conflict Management and Mitigation.—The Committee supports 

the work of USAID’s Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation 
43 

to resolve conflict and promote reconciliation among people of different ethnic, religious, and political backgrounds. 

Development Leadership Initiative.—The Committee continues to 

support USAID’s DLI, but notes that since the beginning of the 

DLI many program managers have retired and USAID is in need 

of mid- and senior-level program managers with field experience. 

The Committee recognizes and supports the training role that retired USAID employees can provide, and encourages the USAID 

Administrator to utilize such training for direct-hire staff. 

Mission Closings.—The Committee notes the decision of certain 

countries to terminate or otherwise downgrade bilateral development relations with the United States, including closing the 

USAID Missions in Russia and Bolivia. The Committee directs that 

the Secretary of State and USAID Administrator, as appropriate, 

regularly consult with the Committee on additional countries or 

missions that may potentially downgrade such relations. 

Overseas Representation and Residence Expenses.—The Committee expects USAID to utilize, to the maximum extent possible, 

United States-owned foreign currencies for overseas representation 

and official residence expenses. 

Procurement Reform.—The Committee supports USAID’s effort to 

reform its procurement policies and practices and recommends not 

less than the President’s budget request for procurement reform. 

The Committee recognizes the need to protect taxpayer dollars 

from waste, fraud, and abuse, and at the same time curtail practices that are inefficient, unnecessarily costly, and unsustainable. 

USAID’s procurement reform initiative focuses on building capacity 

in local governments and civil society and streamlining the agency’s procurement procedures to reach a wider range of partners and 

increase competition. The Committee requests the USAID Administrator to continue to consult on these efforts, and urges USAID to 

reduce reliance on large, inflexible contracts and work more directly with local governments, NGOs, universities, and other entities to develop sustainable programs in a transparent and accountable manner. 

The USAID Administrator is directed to submit a report to the 

Committee detailing: 

—USAID’s strategy for increasing assistance through local partners; 

—the eligibility and oversight requirements of such assistance; 

—how such strategy will advance U.S. interests and development 

goals; and 

—potential cost savings, including estimated reductions in assistance through other partners. 

Recruitment.—The Committee directs the USAID Administrator 

to report to the Committee the number of U.S. military veterans 

currently employed by USAID to include direct hires and personal 

service contractors. The report should include hiring trend data, 

steps USAID is taking to recruit and hire veterans, and specific 

recommendations for increasing the hiring of veterans, as appropriate. 

The Committee directs the USAID Administrator to report not 

later than 45 days after enactment of this act on the extent to 
44 

which USAID implemented the recruitment strategy referenced in 

section 7059(l) of division H of Public Law 111–8.

MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH

The Committee recommends $706,000,000 for maternal and child 

health activities under this heading. 

Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus.—The Committee recognizes the 

importance of low-cost vaccines for women of childbearing age in 

preventing tetanus in newborn children and the role of public-private partnerships in delivering such vaccines, and urges USAID to 

support efforts to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. 

Pediatric Screening.—The Committee encourages USAID to consider support for mobile outreach programs to expand and improve 

access to pediatric eye screening for children in the West Bank and 

East Jerusalem in a manner that delivers the maximum amount 

of funds to the field. 

Polio.—The Committee recommends a total of not less than 

$61,000,000 in this act for polio eradication efforts, including not 

less than $10,000,000 under the ESF heading for programs in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The additional funds above the President’s 

budget request are to support a multi-donor effort to eliminate the 

disease. 

Uterine Prolapse.—The Committee recommends that USAID support efforts to prevent and treat uterine prolapse in Nepal, a debilitating disease that afflicts thousands of poor women. 

Vaccines and Immunizations.—The Committee recommends 

$175,000,000 for the GAVI Alliance, and directs the USAID Administrator to provide details on the planned uses of funds prior to 

making the contribution. 

Vulnerable Children.—The Committee recommends $22,000,000 

for the Office of Displaced Children and Orphans Fund to support 

programs and activities that address the needs of vulnerable chil-
47 

dren, of which not less than $9,500,000 shall be used to implement 

the U.S. Government Action Plan on Children in Adversity in three 

to five countries which embrace an integrated approach to fully implementing the three objectives of the plan, and which shall be administered under the direction of the USAID Senior Coordinator 

for Children in Adversity. The head of DCOF and the Senior Coordinator are directed to consult with the Committee prior to the obligation of funds. 

The Committee recommends not less than $2,500,000 for assistance for blind children, which USAID should administer in a manner that delivers the maximum amount of funds to the field. The 

Committee directs USAID to submit a report detailing the uses of 

funds for blind children in fiscal year 2013 and planned uses of 

such funds in fiscal year 2014, including implementing partners, 

services provided, objectives of the program, and number of beneficiaries. 

The Committee recommends support for programs that address 

autism spectrum disorders, including treatment and the training of 

healthcare workers to better diagnose such disorders. 

NUTRITION

The Committee recommends $95,000,000 for nutrition programs 

under this heading, to be made available through USAID. 

The Committee notes the recent announcement of the development of a governmentwide, cross-sectoral global nutrition strategy 

which should include a description of focus countries, specific nutrition intervention targets, and a plan for reducing malnutrition and 

stunting rates. The Committee directs the USAID Administrator to 

consult with the Committee on such strategy going forward. 

Micronutrients.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$33,000,000 for micronutrients, of which not less than $22,500,000 

is to address vitamin A deficiencies. The Committee recommends 

that nutrition programs, including micronutrients, also be funded 

by the Department of State and USAID within programs to combat 

HIV/AIDS. The Committee recommends not less than $2,500,000 

for the USAID/UNICEF Iodine Deficiency Disorder program to prevent mental retardation in children. 

FAMILY PLANNING/REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

The Committee recommends a total of $669,500,000 from all accounts in this act for family planning and reproductive health programs, including $565,000,000 under this heading, $65,000,000 

under the ESF heading, and $39,500,000 for UNFPA. 

The Committee recognizes that there is a need to accelerate research and development of contraceptives that are more effective, 

affordable, and easier to deliver and may also prevent sexually 

transmitted diseases. The Committee directs USAID to increase 

funding to its Office of Population and Reproductive Health to support the expansion of such efforts, and encourages partnerships 

and cost-sharing with USAID’s Office of HIV/AIDS and NIH. The 

Committee directs USAID to consult with the Committee on funding for such purposes. 
48 

HIV/AIDS

The Committee recommends a total of $6,000,000,000 for programs and activities to combat HIV/AIDS, of which $5,670,000,000 

is for the Department of State and $330,000,000 is for USAID. 

Global Fund.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$1,650,000,000 for a U.S. contribution to the Global Fund to Fight 

AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, which may not exceed 33 percent 

of the total amount of funds contributed to the Global Fund from 

all sources. The Committee notes the progress made by the Global 

Fund Board of Directors and Secretariat in adopting and implementing reforms to further the transparency, accountability and effectiveness of Global Fund programs, and emphasizes that a strong 

Global Fund OIG is necessary for proper oversight of donor contributions. 

The Committee notes the progress made in the collection of information about taxation of Global Fund assistance by recipient countries, but remains concerned with the continued practice of taxation by such countries. The Committee directs OGAC to continue 

to work with the Global Fund to obtain information on the estimated amount of taxes collected on Global Fund assistance by host 

countries each year, by country. 

The Committee supports efforts to improve efficiencies, and recommends funds for a new ‘‘challenge grants’’ program to leverage 

additional funding for the Global Fund from host country governments, multilateral organizations, the private sector, and/or other 

donor governments. OGAC is directed to consult with the Committee on the parameters of the program prior to the initial obligation of funds. After implementation of the program, the Committee 

requires the Secretary of State to assess the ability of such grants 

to leverage increased support for, and funding of, Global Fund activities from donors other than the U.S. Government. 

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

PEPFAR.—The Committee recognizes that PEPFAR plays a key 

role in HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment globally. 

The Committee recognizes that continued small investments by 

PEPFAR in concentrated epidemic settings leverage a greater U.S. 

investment in the Global Fund, ensuring quality in programs targeting key population groups. The Committee directs OGAC to submit a report on how PEPFAR intends to provide continued support 

to concentrated epidemic countries to ensure quality of Global 

Fund programs, and how transition plans reflect the safety and 

rights of key populations who are particularly vulnerable to reduction of PEPFAR resources. 

The Committee encourages OGAC to increase efforts to expand 

pediatric treatment programs to meet the targets included in Public Law 108–25, and recommends that the Coordinator include expanded testing of high risk pediatric populations for early diagnosis 

and initiation of anti-retroviral therapy for infants and children as 

a priority in country operating plans. 

The Committee directs the USAID Administrator, in consultation 

with the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, to submit a report not 

later than 180 days after enactment of this act describing efforts 
49 

to increase equitable access to qualified health workers in developing countries, particularly in underserved areas, including by 

training more women health workers. The report should identify 

countries where quantifiable progress has been made over the past 

5 years and where the most acute health worker shortages currently exist. 

The Committee requires the Secretary of State to report on transition plans for countries receiving PEPFAR funding, including 

South Africa. 

The Committee directs the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator to consult with the Committee on its response to the recommendations 

included in GAO’s ‘‘President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief: 

Drug Supply Chains are Stronger, but More Steps are Needed to 

Reduce Risks’’ report (GAO–13–483). 

UNAIDS.—The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for a U.S. 

contribution to UNAIDS. 

Vaccines.—The Committee recommends that, among other methods for preventing the transmission of HIV, USAID should continue 

to support research and development of a vaccine to combat the 

AIDS virus. 

OTHER GLOBAL HEALTH ISSUES

Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia.—The Committee is concerned 

with the mounting global human health and economic costs associated with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, which are estimated 

to afflict more than 35 million people worldwide, and urges the Department of State, in coordination with USAID, to work with HHS 

and other relevant Federal agencies, the United Nations, and foreign governments, to begin the process of establishing a Global Alzheimer’s and Dementia Action Plan. The Committee directs the Department of State to report to the Committee on these efforts not 

later than 180 days after enactment of this act. 

Malaria.—The Committee recommends $667,000,000 for programs to combat malaria and encourages USAID to continue to 

support public-private partnerships, research and development, access, and delivery of anti-malarial medicines, including new, effective pediatric formulations and alternatives to artemisinin combination therapies in response to the threat of resistance, and to 

continue efforts to develop new insecticides and a malaria vaccine. 

The Committee supports the work of the Federal inter-agency 

and institutions of higher learning in addressing the health, economic, and security impacts of malaria and other parasitic diseases, and in seeking improvements in FDA-approved drugs for 

malaria prevention. 

The Committee reaffirms its support for the Coordinator of U.S. 

Government Activities to Combat Malaria Globally as established 

in Public Law 110–293, and expects that section 304 of such law 

shall be implemented across all relevant executive branch agencies. 

Neglected Tropical Diseases.—The Committee recommends 

$100,000,000 for continued support for USAID’s integrated NTD 

program to eliminate soil-transmitted helminthiasis, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, trachoma, and leprosy 

which afflict hundreds of millions of people in tropical countries. 

The Committee also notes the contributions of the private sector in 
50 

research and development and product innovation to improve diagnostic and therapeutic tools to treat patients with NTDs. 

Pandemic Influenza and Other Emerging Threats.—The Committee recommends $75,000,000 to combat pandemic influenza and 

other highly virulent viruses and emerging diseases, and is concerned with the continuing health risks to humans from the H5N1 

and H7N9 viruses, as well as the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus. The Committee directs the administration to 

request sufficient funds for this purpose in subsequent fiscal years. 

Tuberculosis.—The Committee recommends $225,000,000 for programs to combat tuberculosis. 

DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2013 1 ........................................................................... $2,519,144,000 

Budget estimate, 2014 ........................................................................... 2,837,812,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,507,001,000 

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 

The Committee recommends $2,507,001,000 for Development Assistance. 

The Committee directs that relevant USAID bureaus and offices 

that support cross-cutting development programs shall coordinate 

such programs on a regular basis. 

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY

The Committee recommends $1,100,000,000 for the Feed the Future program from all accounts in this act. The Committee supports FtF’s country-driven approach to address causes of hunger 

and poverty, and to create long term solutions to food insecurity 

and malnutrition. The Committee recognizes the importance of integrating women as key recipients of agricultural and technical assistance, and intends that programs are prioritized for women 

farmers, small-holder farmers, and other vulnerable populations. 

Cotton Contracts.—The Committee notes that the drop in the 

world cotton price resulted in default, or risk of default, for some 

U.S. cotton contracts, and that in some countries legal redress may 

be lacking. Therefore, the Committee requests the Secretary of 

State to report on the extent of such risks on a regional basis, and 

including actions taken by the Governments of Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Thailand to address such defaults, and an assessment 

of respective judicial systems to resolve cases in a fair and impartial manner. 

Feed the Future Collaborative Research Innovation Lab.—The 

Committee recommends not less than $32,000,000 for the FtF 

CRIL, formerly known as the Collaborative Research Support Program, and supports efforts to improve agricultural productivity, nutritional quality and security, and innovative research to prevent 

malnutrition. 

Global Crop Diversity Trust.—The Committee recommends a 

U.S. contribution to the Global Crop Diversity Trust’s endowment, 

which seeks to ensure the viability of agriculture worldwide by conserving and making available collections of crop diversity. 

Land Grant Institutions.—The Committee supports the work of 

land grant institutions of higher learning, and encourages USAID 
51 

to continue partnering with such institutions with specialized capability in agriculture research to assist developing countries to improve food production. 

Sustainable Agriculture.—The Committee encourages USAID to 

support programs that train farmers in sustainable agricultural 

techniques and methods that increase productivity, particularly in 

sub-Saharan Africa. 

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Cooperative Development.—The Committee has long recognized 

the important role that U.S. cooperatives and credit unions play in 

overseas programs as a means to lift people out of poverty by mobilizing equity and savings for community-based economic growth. 

The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for the Cooperative Development Program managed by USAID’s Office of Innovation and 

Development Alliances. 

Measuring Economic Growth.—The Committee directs the 

USAID Assistant Administrator for Economic Growth, Education 

and Environment to continue to consult with the Committee on 

how to set meaningful goals and objectives, and effectively measure 

results, from technical assistance and capacity building activities to 

promote economic growth, as the impact of such assistance may not 

be apparent until years later. 

Microenterprise and Microfinance Development Programs.—The 

Committee recommends $250,000,000 in this act for microfinance 

and microenterprise development programs. USAID is directed to 

consult with the Committee and other interested stakeholders on 

ways to maximize the use of microenterprise and microfinance assistance to benefit the poorest people. The purpose of section 

7034(p) of this act is to reduce the cost of USAID’s annual Microenterprise Results Report. The Committee directs the USAID Administrator to consult with the Committee on adjustments that can 

further reduce the cost of the report. 

Trade Capacity Building.—The Committee recommends not less 

than $10,000,000 under this heading and an additional $10,000,000 

under the ESF heading for labor and environmental capacity building activities relating to free trade agreements with countries of 

Central America, Peru, the Dominican Republic, and Colombia. 

EDUCATION

Basic Education.—The Committee recommends $501,500,000 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 notes that the total unobligated 

balance of prior year appropriations for basic education, excluding 

fiscal year 2013, exceeds $1,388,000,000. 

Global Partnership for Education.—The Committee recommends 

$25,000,000 for the GPE, and directs the USAID Administrator to 

consult with the Committee on GPE’s efforts to improve monitoring 

and evaluation, and on the effectiveness and sustainability of programs. 

Higher Education.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$225,000,000 in this act for higher education programs, including 
52 

$25,000,000 for such programs in Africa of which $15,000,000 is for 

partnerships between higher education institutions in Africa and 

the United States. 

The Committee supports the work of land grant institutions of 

higher learning with specialized capabilities and encourages 

USAID to partner with such organizations. 

The Committee supports cost-effective programs that offer educational opportunities at U.S. post-secondary institutions to students from underserved populations including from indigenous populations and persons with disabilities, and women. 

The Committee directs USAID to post all funding opportunities 

for higher education institutions on its Web site. Partners should 

be selected through a competitive process. 

American Schools and Hospitals Abroad Program.—The Committee recommends $23,000,000 for the ASHA program. Grants 

should be awarded through a competitive process and in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations. 

ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMS

The Committee recommends not less than $1,153,500,000 in this 

act for bilateral and multilateral environment programs. 

Funds for environment programs are allocated according to the 

following table and are subject to the provisions of section 7019 of 

this act:

Adaptation and Mitigation.—The Committee recommends assistance through the Department of State, USAID, and multilateral 

environment funds to enable developing countries to adapt to decreases in agricultural productivity, water scarcity, and rising temperatures and sea levels, and to mitigate contributors to climate 

change. 

Sustainable Landscapes and Biodiversity.—The Committee recommends $123,500,000 in this act for programs to protect sustainable landscapes, and an additional $225,000,000 for biodiversity 
53 

conservation programs, including $2,000,000 to implement and enforce section 8204 of Public Law 110–246, $20,000,000 for the Initiative for Conservation in the Andean Amazon, and $11,000,000 

for the Brazilian Amazon. 

The Committee recommends assistance to support efforts by Brazilian and Andean indigenous groups to protect their territories 

from illegal loggers, miners, ranchers, and other encroachment, and 

to promote public support for Brazil’s national parks. 

The Committee supports the Amazon Region Protected Areas 

program. 

The Committee recommends that of the funds made available for 

the Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment, not less 

than $17,500,000 be apportioned directly to the USFWS which 

should also utilize the technical expertise of the USFS, the USNPS, 

NOAA, and other appropriate Federal entities. The Committee emphasizes that CARPE’s success depends on building the capacity of 

governments in Central Africa to professionally manage and protect their countries’ resources. Memoranda of understanding and 

cooperative agreements should be used to provide a roadmap, with 

benchmarks for measuring progress, to carry out environmental 

impact assessments, social and environmental management plans, 

fisheries management, and training of effective law enforcement for 

wildlife protection and park management. Buy-in by governments, 

in coordination with implementing partners, is essential to make 

CARPE a more effective and sustainable program. The Committee 

notes the efforts of the Government of Gabon as illustrative of 

what can be achieved with leadership and modest resources to significantly reduce illegal logging and poaching, and conserve tropical 

forest and marine environments. 

The Committee recommends $1,000,000 be apportioned directly 

to the Department of the Interior for biodiversity and archaeological conservation activities in Guatemala’s Mayan Biosphere 

Reserve, to include governance and law enforcement. 

The Committee recommends not less than $3,500,000 for USFS 

forest and wildlife conservation programs. 

The Committee recommends continued funding to protect great 

apes in Central Africa and Indonesia, and wildlife in South Sudan 

and Niger. 

The Committee supports funding, including under the INCLE 

heading, for programs to combat trafficking in wildlife and wildlife 

products, including between Africa and Asia. The poaching crisis is 

decimating elephant and rhinoceros populations and providing illicit revenue to traffickers, terrorists, and other criminal entities. 

The Committee supports the development of a Central African 

wildlife law enforcement network that includes the 

professionalization of park guards and other law enforcement officials, site-based conservation activities, and tools and technologies 

for measuring the success of these efforts. The Committee recognizes the expertise and assets, including the provision of used 

equipment, of AFRICOM in addressing the poaching crisis. 

The Committee is aware of the rapid deforestation and loss of 

biodiversity in the Atlantic Forest region of Paraguay, and supports 

funding at not less than the fiscal year 2013 level to help address 

this problem. 
54 

The Committee is increasingly concerned with the loss of tropical 

forests that are habitat for many endangered species, particularly 

in the Amazon Basin, Central America, Central Africa, and Indonesia, due to agricultural conversion, industrial scale logging, mining, other extractive industries and large hydroelectric dams that 

result in the displacement of local people, are unsustainable, and 

expose these areas to further development and environmental degradation. The Committee does not support the use of funds appropriated by this act for such activities or the construction of roads 

or other infrastructure to facilitate such activities, or for the cultivation or processing of African oil palm, if doing so would contribute to significant loss of native species, disrupt or contaminate 

natural water sources, reduce local food security, or cause the 

forced displacement of local people. 

Clean Energy.—The Committee intends that funds for clean energy programs under title III of this act shall be used only to promote the sustainable use of renewable energy and energy efficiency 

technologies, and to support other efforts to reduce, mitigate, and/ 

or sequester emissions of greenhouse gases. 

International Financial Institutions.—Section 7060(c)(9)(E) of 

this act requires the Secretary of the Treasury to instruct the executive directors of each international financial institution that it is 

the policy of the United States to oppose any loan, grant, strategy 

or policy of such institution that would result in the construction 

of any coal-fired power plant or large hydroelectric dam. 

Marine Protection.—The Committee is aware that emissions from 

fossil fuels and deforestation are changing the acidity of the ocean 

in ways that threaten fish and other ocean species on which many 

humans depend for survival, and encourages the Department of 

State and the Department of the Treasury to coordinate with 

NOAA in efforts to reduce such emissions. 

The Committee recognizes that scientific exchanges between U.S. 

and Cuban scientists could help protect the Gulf of Mexico and 

U.S. shorelines from environmental disasters from oil and gas exploration, as well as promote scientific advances beneficial to both 

countries and the region, and directs the Secretary of State to work 

with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce 

to foster increased engagement with Cuban scientists. 

Mekong River Basin.—The Committee is aware that the PRC intends to build additional dams along the Upper Mekong River that 

may have serious, adverse impacts on the people, economy, and environment in countries along the Lower Mekong River. Other countries plan to build dams on the Lower Mekong and on the river’s 

tributaries. The Committee recommends support for the Mekong 

River Commission to prevent or mitigate the adverse impacts of 

large hydroelectric projects. 

Toxic Pollution.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$5,000,000 for small grants to support initiatives to eliminate 

threats to human health and the environment from toxic chemicals 

such as lead, chromium, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury, and from 

mining, surface water contamination, smelting, oil refining, coal 

power plants, chemical plants, untreated sewage, garbage dumps, 

and other causes. Funds are to be awarded on a competitive basis. 
55 

Waste Recycling.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$5,000,000 for small grants to support initiatives to recycle waste 

which threatens human health and the environment and which, if 

recycled, could generate income, improve agriculture, and produce 

energy. Funds are to be awarded on a competitive basis. 

Report.—The Committee is concerned with the conversion of 

tropical forest to agricultural use and supports the Tropical Forest 

Alliance which aims to eliminate deforestation from beef, soy, palm 

oil, and paper supply chains by 2020. The Committee directs the 

Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, the U.S. Trade Representative, and the heads of other relevant Federal agencies, to submit a report on the administration’s 

plan and a timetable for meeting expected outcomes, including to: 

(1) redirect production onto already deforested lands; (2) increase 

supply-chain tracking and transparency; (3) negotiate forest protections in trade agreements; (4) advance deforestation-free procurement; (5) increase private-sector investments in deforestation-free 

agriculture; and (6) prevent importation of products produced on illegally deforested lands. 

GENDER EQUALITY

The Committee supports the budget request of $1,909,920,000 in 

this act for gender programs, to promote women’s political leadership, implement a multiyear strategy to respond to gender-based 

violence, and support implementation of the U.S. National Action 

Plan on Women, Peace, and Security. 

The Committee intends the Department of State, guided by the 

Office of Global Women’s Issues, and USAID, guided by the Office 

of Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment, to mainstream a 

focus throughout U.S. diplomatic and development efforts on raising the status, increasing participation, and protecting the rights 

of women and girls worldwide, and to post on respective Web sites 

specific steps taken to accomplish these objectives. The Committee 

recommends funding for the Full Participation Fund to support the 

integration of gender in operations, diplomacy and programming. 

The Committee directs that U.S. diplomatic and development efforts promote gender equality worldwide consistent with the activities enumerated in the Gender Equality and Female Empowerment 

Policy and U.S. Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based 

Violence Globally. 

Child Marriage.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State, 

in consultation with the Coordinator for Global Women’s issues and 

USAID’s Senior Coordinator for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment, to submit a strategy to accomplish the goals of Public 

Law 113–4. The Committee recommends not less than $5,000,000 

for programs that reduce the incidence of child marriage consistent 

with section 1207 of Public Law 113–4, and directs the Secretary 

to consult with the Committee prior to the obligation of funds. 

Political Participation.—The Committee directs that funds appropriated under this and the ESF, DF, CFCF, and INCLE headings 

be made available for programs to increase women’s participation 

in the political process, including political parties, elections, and 

leadership positions in local and national governments. Funds 
56 

should be awarded on a competitive basis and in accordance with 

section 7059(b) of this act. 

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Clean Cookstoves.—The Committee is aware that exposure to 

smoke from traditional cookstoves by an estimated 3 billion people 

in developing countries causes nearly 2 million premature deaths, 

primarily of women and young children, annually, and contributes 

to deforestation, erosion, and drought, and the women and children 

who collect firewood face daily hardship and security risks. This 

global health, environmental, and personal safety issue should be 

a priority for USAID, and the Committee urges investments in 

cookstoves that sustainably reduce fuel consumption and exposure 

to harmful smoke. 

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

for disability programs, of which $3,000,000 should be made available for programs and activities administered by USAID through 

foreign missions to address the needs and protect and promote the 

rights of people with disabilities in developing countries. The Committee recommends $1,000,000 to support capacity 

building of disabled persons organizations in Latin America and 

the Caribbean in order to increase accessibility of people with disabilities to infrastructure, programs, and systems in individual 

countries; and $1,000,000 to develop, support, and strengthen 

sports programs for people with disabilities in developing countries. 

Funds are to be awarded on a competitive basis. 

The Committee directs that at least 25 percent of USAID mission 

funds for disability programs be dispersed in small grants. 

Indigenous Peoples.—The Committee recognizes that indigenous 

peoples face increasing threats to their territory and cultures due 

to growing population pressures, the expansion of mechanized agriculture, mining, logging and other extractive industries. The Committee directs the Advisor for Indigenous Peoples Issues to submit 

a report not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, on a 

strategy for carrying out the responsibilities described in section 

699B of Public Law 110–161. 

Partner Vetting.—The Committee supports a partner vetting system that safeguards against the inadvertent disbursement of funds 

by the Department of State or USAID to a terrorist or terrorist organization, while preserving important and, in some regions, sensitive relationships with grantees and contractors. All individuals 

and organizations being vetted should be provided with full disclosure of how information will be stored and used by the U.S. Government, including how information regarding a ‘‘positive match’’ 

will be handled and how to appeal such a match. There should also 

be provision for waiving the vetting requirements to prevent delay 

in responding to humanitarian crises. The Committee expects that 

other Federal agencies conducting foreign assistance programs, including for security sector reform, will utilize vetting procedures 

similar to those devised by USAID and the Department of State, 

including in Afghanistan. 

Patrick Leahy War Victims Fund.—The Committee recommends 

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

persons who are severely disabled as a result of armed conflict. 
57 

USAID Forward.—The Committee supports funding to implement USAID Forward initiatives and recommends the President’s 

budget request for Development Innovation Ventures and USAID’s 

Office of Science and Technology. 

Victims of Torture.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$11,700,000 under this heading for programs and activities that 

address the needs of victims of torture and trauma resulting from 

violent conflict, and support for centers for victims of torture that 

provide services consistent with the goals of Public Law 106–87. An 

additional $6,500,000 is recommended for the U.N. Voluntary Fund 

for Victims of Torture under the IO&P account. 

Water and Sanitation.—The Committee recommends not less 

than $405,000,000 in this act for water and sanitation projects pursuant to Public Law 109–121. The Committee intends these funds 

to be used for programs to provide safe drinking water and sanitation for urban and rural communities where water scarcity or contamination poses serious risks to human health, with an emphasis 

on drought prone regions of Africa. These funds are in addition to 

other funds in this act to protect and sustainably manage water resources. 

Wheelchairs.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for wheelchair programs in developing countries, allocated through an open 

and competitive process. The Committee supports funding that provides quality, low-cost wheelchairs that can be produced and maintained locally using appropriate technologies. 

Youth in Development.—The Committee recognizes USAID’s 

Youth in Development Policy, encourages USAID to name a Youth 

Coordinator who can represent youth issues at a high level within 

the agency and internationally, and directs the USAID Administrator to consult with the Committee on how it will measure effectiveness of the policy. 

COUNTRIES

Bangladesh.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State to 

prioritize assistance to labor programs in Bangladesh and recommends $5,000,000 to improve labor conditions in Bangladesh’s 

readymade garment, shrimp and fish export sectors. The Committee expects the Department of State and USAID to provide 

training for workers on understanding and asserting their rights, 

including by improving the capacity of independent worker organizations. The Department of State, USAID, and the Department of 

Labor should coordinate efforts to avoid unnecessary overlap and 

work in consultation with the Government of Bangladesh and the 

International Labor Organization on an integrated approach. 

Indonesia.—The Committee recommends not less than $350,000 

for grants for capacity building of Indonesian human rights organizations, including in Papua. 

Nepal.—The Committee recommends not less than $37,000,000 

under this heading for assistance for Nepal, including for training 

and other assistance to enhance the participation and leadership of 

Dalits and other minority groups in political and economic decisionmaking. 

Rwanda and Uganda.—The Committee recommends support for 

local and international NGOs to conduct oversight of the trade in 
58 

conflict minerals out of Eastern DRC and to strengthen border controls with the DRC. 

The Committee is concerned with the deterioration of respect for 

democratic principles in Uganda, including freedom of expression 

and assembly. The Committee remains concerned with the lack of 

transparency and potential for corruption in the petroleum sector 

in Uganda, and directs the Department of State and USAID to 

urge the Government of Uganda to promote transparency in the 

management of oil revenues and bidding process, including public 

disclosure of receipts and expenditures, consistent with section 

7031(b) of this act. 

Vietnam.—The Committee recommends $7,000,000 for assistance 

for Vietnam under this heading for health/disability programs in 

areas sprayed with Agent Orange or otherwise contaminated by 

dioxin.

heading is designated for OCO. 

AFRICA

Africa Pilot Programs.—The Committee recognizes that while 

nominally Chief Executive Officers, as outlined in the QDDR, U.S. 
60 

Ambassadors often exert little influence over how interagency 

funds are apportioned or reprogrammed. In order to empower U.S. 

Ambassadors in Africa with the ability to directly address regional 

health, development, economic, and security challenges—as well as 

create increased trade and investment opportunities for the United 

States—in a timely and governmentwide manner, section 7042(f) of 

this act establishes pilot programs under Chief of Mission authority 

totaling $15,000,000. A cost matching requirement is included to 

leverage support from host governments, multilateral organizations, and the private sector to the maximum extent practicable, 

and funds are made available for oversight purposes. The Secretary 

of State is directed to consult with the Committee on additional parameters of such programs prior to the obligation of funds. 

Counterterrorism in Africa.—The Committee recommends 

$53,000,000 in this act for the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism 

Partnership program, and $24,000,000 for the Partnership for Regional East Africa Counterterrorism program. The Committee directs that an additional $10,000,000 be made available for programs among vulnerable populations that are susceptible to terrorist influence, to be managed by USAID and coordinated with 

other Federal agencies. 

Democratic Republic of the Congo.—The Committee recommends 

not less than $25,000,000 to support a strategy to demilitarize the 

mining sector in eastern Congo, enhance independent monitoring of 

the development of responsible mining and related supply chains, 

protect the rights of mine laborers, build local oversight and regulatory capacity to combat the illicit trade in minerals, wildlife and 

other contraband, and assist victims of sexual violence. 

The Committee notes the Peace, Security and Cooperation 

Framework signed by the DRC, Rwanda, Uganda, and other countries, and supports efforts by the U.S. Special Envoy for the Great 

Lakes Region to promote implementation of the framework. 

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

in classified form if necessary, listing persons impacted by the visa 

ban in section 1284 of Public Law 112–239. 

Djibouti.—The Committee is concerned with the high incidence of 

extreme poverty in Djibouti, a country of strategic importance to 

the United States, and directs USAID to develop and implement a 

multi-year social, economic, and democratic development strategy 

to address the needs of the people of Djibouti. The Committee directs that not less than $5,000,000 under this heading be made 

available for this purpose and requests to be consulted not later 

than 90 days after enactment of this act on the strategy, which 

should include methods for measuring and sustaining the effectiveness of such assistance. 

Power Africa.—The Committee supports the President’s budget 

request for this initiative, which seeks to double access to power in 

sub-Saharan Africa. 

Somalia.—The Committee notes that despite recent political and 

security advances in certain areas of Somalia, the Somali Federal 

Government has not implemented provisions in the Provisional 

Constitution to promote dialogue and reconciliation, including establishing a Truth and Reconciliation Commission and a Human 

Rights Commission. The Committee recognizes that peace, stability 
61 

and prosperity in Somalia depend on reconciliation and effective 

governance and encourages the Department of State to support the 

SFG in establishing these two commissions as independent entities. 

The Committee is also concerned that key constitutional provisions 

for establishing states and resolving disputes between the central 

government and the regions have not been implemented. 

Special Court for Sierra Leone.—The Committee recognizes the 

mandate of the Special Court of Sierra Leone is nearing completion 

and the transition to a Residual Special Court is underway, and 

recommends not less than $1,700,000 for this purpose. 

Sudan.—The Committee supports funding for Sudanese civil society groups and political parties working for peaceful democratic 

change in that country, including through technical assistance and 

capacity building programs. 

War Crimes in Central Africa.—The Committee continues to support efforts by the U.S., U.N., A.U., and governments in Central Africa to capture Joseph Kony and other top commanders of the LRA, 

and to assist victims of the LRA’s crimes. The Committee recommends not less than $10,000,000 to implement Public Law 111– 

172, including for programs to improve physical access, for telecommunications infrastructure and early-warning mechanisms, and 

to support the disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of 

former LRA combatants, especially child soldiers. The Committee 

recognizes that continued funding for USAID’s ‘‘Secure, Empowered, and Connected Communities’’ program may reduce civilian 

vulnerability to LRA attacks and increase LRA defections. The 

Committee directs the Department of State to weigh the degree of 

cooperation by the Government of the DRC with the AU and other 

regional partners in efforts to counter the LRA when considering 

training additional DRC military battalions. 

Zimbabwe.—The Committee remains concerned with corruption 

and repression in Zimbabwe. In accordance with section 7043(m) of 

this act, funds may be obligated for assistance for the central Government of Zimbabwe only if the Secretary of State certifies that 

such government has made significant and sustained progress toward restoration of the rule of law, respect for property ownership 

and title, security sector reform (including accountability for members of security forces responsible for abuses), and freedom of expression, association, and assembly. 

EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

Burma.—The Committee is encouraged by political and economic 

reforms underway in Burma but recognizes that they are reversible. In order to promote Burma’s sustained transition to a democratic, peaceful, and prosperous country, the Committee supports 

increased assistance for Burma, subject to certain conditions. The 

Committee expects USAID, following coordination with other donors, to support microfinance programs that will promote small 

and medium agricultural businesses. 

The Committee recognizes the important role of civil society in 

this transition and directs the Department of State and USAID to 

make core support for local NGOs a top priority, including those 

formed by democracy activists and former political prisoners. The 
62 

Committee directs that DRL shall be consulted on all democracy 

programs conducted in Burma prior to the obligation of funds. 

The Committee underscores the need for meaningful reconciliation between the Government of Burma and ethnic minorities, 

and Buddhist and Muslim populations, as a means of sustaining 

the transition in Burma. The Committee expects the Department 

of State to play a role in reconciliation efforts. 

The Committee is concerned with the absence of transparency 

and accountability within the Government of Burma and its stateowned enterprises, particularly Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise. 

Corruption and the continued absence of the rule of law in Burma 

hinder prospects for legitimate international investment and economic progress in that country. 

Cambodia.—The Committee is concerned with the political situation in Cambodia and the lack of political will by the Government 

of Cambodia to further democracy, human rights, and the rule of 

law. Therefore, assistance for Cambodia is restricted in this act. 

The report required under section 7043(c)(1) of this act shall include a comprehensive assessment of U.S. assistance for Cambodia 

for the past two fiscal years, including a comparative analysis of 

the contributions of the Government of Cambodia’s budgetary investment in specific sectors to that of international donors, and the 

effectiveness of such assistance in achieving stated goals and objectives. 

For purposes of subsection 7043(c)(4), ‘‘appropriate redress’’ shall 

include the provision of legal security of tenure to the 61 families 

remaining in the Boeung Kak area who have been excluded from 

receiving land titles; clear demarcation of the developer’s concession and the area reserved for the community; and the establishment of livelihood programs for those forcibly evicted from the 

Boeung Kak area, in accordance with the World Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement. 

People’s Republic of China.—The Committee recommends not 

less than $15,000,000 under this heading for U.S. institutions of 

higher education and NGOs for democracy, governance, rule of law, 

and environment programs in the PRC, to be awarded on a competitive basis. No funds under the GHP, DA, and ESF headings 

may be made available for assistance for the central government of 

the PRC, with the exception of funds for programs to detect, prevent, and treat infectious diseases, pandemics and other emerging 

health threats. 

Section 7043(e)(3) of this act requires the Secretary of State, in 

consultation with the Committee and relevant Federal agencies, to 

develop and fund a coordinated diplomacy and assistance strategy 

to counter the strategic influence of the PRC globally, including 

through the use of international broadcasting. 

Tibet.—The Committee recommends not less than $7,900,000 for 

activities implemented by NGOs to 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. Funds should be awarded on 

a competitive basis. 

Vietnam.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$22,000,000 for analysis and environmental remediation of dioxin 
63 

contamination at the Da Nang and Bien Hoa sites, and not less 

than $7,000,000 under the DA heading for direct assistance for disabled persons, disability surveys, and capacity building in areas 

that were heavily sprayed with Agent Orange or are otherwise contaminated with dioxin, for a total of $29,000,000 in this act for 

these activities. In order to minimize administrative costs and 

maximize impact in the field, the Committee intends that, to the 

maximum extent practicable, health/disability funds shall be implemented by Vietnamese organizations and entities. The Committee 

expects that in future years the administration will request funds 

for such environmental remediation activities under function 050, 

and directs the Department of State, in consultation with the Department of Defense and USAID, to submit, not later than 180 

days after enactment of this act, a multi-year strategy to complete 

such activities in Vietnam. 

EUROPE, EURASIA AND CENTRAL ASIA

Belarus.—The Committee recommends not less than $1,700,000 

for additional assistance for Belarus above the President’s budget 

request, for democracy and human rights programs in coordination 

with the European Union, and for youth and higher education programs that support critical thinking and academic freedom. 

Democracy Programs.—The Committee recommends $35,000,000 

for programs to support democracy and human rights in these regions under this heading. 

Georgia.—The Committee notes that since 2008 the U.S. has pro- vided over $1,500,000,000 for assistance for Georgia, which was accompanied by a strengthened commitment by the GoG to democracy and the rule of law. The Committee is concerned with the arrests and detentions of political figures in Georgia, and directs the 

Department of State to consult with the Committee, prior to the obligation of funds for assistance for Georgia, on the GoG’s efforts to 

ensure that the pursuit of justice is conducted in a fair, transparent, and impartial manner. 

Ireland.—The Committee supports the President’s budget request for assistance for Ireland. 

Nagorno-Karabakh.—The Committee recommends assistance for 

victims of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in amounts consistent 

with prior years, and for ongoing needs related to the conflict. The 

Committee urges a peaceful resolution of the conflict. 

North Caucasus.—The Committee recommends funding for programs to address immediate and long-term needs of conflict-affected populations in the North Caucasus. 

Serbia and Kosovo.—The Committee supports the President’s 

budget request for assistance for Serbia and Kosovo in this act and 

encourages continued progress in the implementation of the April 

19, 2013, agreement to resolve disputes in the region. 

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

Turkmenistan, and will weigh such issues when considering assistance for Turkmenistan. 

Ukraine.—The Committee supports funding above the President’s 

budget request for programs to ensure competitive and transparent 

elections in Ukraine, including through poll watching activities, 
64 

and directs the Secretary of State to submit a democracy promotion 

strategy for Ukraine not later than 180 days after enactment of 

this act. 

NEAR EAST

Bahrain.—The Committee recommends not less than $3,000,000 

to support democracy and governance activities in Bahrain. 

Lebanon.—The Committee recommends that of the assistance appropriated under this heading for Lebanon, $12,000,000 be made 

available for scholarships for students in Lebanon with high financial need to attend not-for-profit educational institutions in Lebanon that meet standards comparable to those required for American accreditation. The institutions, students and their families are 

encouraged to pay as much of the cost of the education as possible 

in order to share the commitment to the future of Lebanon and to 

maximize the number of students who are assisted. All students 

should be eligible for scholarships based on need, academic record, 

and potential to contribute to the long-term political, economic, and 

social development of Lebanon. 

Libya.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State to report 

to the Committee that the central Government of Libya is cooperating with U.S. efforts to investigate and bring to justice those responsible for the attack on U.S. facilities and personnel in 

Benghazi on September 11, 2012, prior to the obligations of funds 

for assistance for such government. 

MEPI, OMEP and MERC.—The Committee recommends the 

President’s budget request for MEPI and for OMEP under this 

heading, and the fiscal year 2012 level for MERC. 

Tunisia.—The Committee recommends the President’s budget request for assistance for Tunisia in this act. 

West Bank.—The Committee recommends the President’s budget 

request for assistance for the West Bank in this act. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report to the Committee prior to the initial obligation of funds detailing and assessing the capabilities of key Palestinian Authority and security services officials to manage and conduct effective oversight of U.S. assistance. 

Yemen.—The Committee recommends the President’s budget request for assistance for Yemen in this act. 

WESTERN HEMISPHERE

Colombia.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$141,500,000 apportioned directly to USAID for alternative development/institution building and local governance programs in Colombia, including $6,500,000 for human rights activities. 

The Committee directs that if a peace agreement is signed ending the armed conflict in Colombia, the Department of State, 

USAID and other relevant Federal agencies shall review U.S. assistance programs for Colombia and redirect funds appropriated 

under this heading and the INCLE and FMF headings to support 

the implementation of such agreement, particularly relating to demobilization and reintegration of former combatants, demining, 

transitional justice, victims reparations, the recuperation of com-
65 

munities most affected by violence, and the recovery and productive 

use of land in former conflict zones. 

The Committee recommends not less than $15,000,000 for AfroColombian and indigenous communities for projects developed in 

consultation with such communities, many of which have experienced increases in violence, including assassinations of social activists, poverty and displacement. The Committee is concerned with 

the rapid expansion of government sanctioned, as well as illegal, 

mining operations in or adjacent to these communities. The Committee directs the Department of State and USAID to work with 

the Government of Colombia to address these issues as a priority, 

and requests to be informed of any multilateral development bank 

financing proposed for mining operations in Colombia. 

The Committee recommends not less than $3,000,000 for biodiversity conservation programs, including for the Colombian National Park Service. 

The Committee recommends $500,000 for community-based programs to address the needs of civilians disabled by landmines and 

other causes related to the violence. 

Haiti.—The Committee directs that assistance be made available, 

to the maximum extent practicable, in a manner that emphasizes 

the participation of Haitian NGOs and directly improves the security, economic and social well-being, and political status of Haitian 

women and girls. The Committee expects the Government of Haiti, 

USAID, and other donors to communicate directly and regularly 

with Haitian community leaders and civil society organizations 

about U.S. programs and plans. 

The Committee urges the Secretary of State to regularize the 

management and oversight of U.S. policy toward Haiti within the 

Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs. 

The Committee requests the Secretary of State to continue to 

submit the report on supplemental assistance for Haiti required by 

Chapter 10, section 1003(b) of Public Law 111–212 every 180 days 

until such funds are expended, as recommended in GAO’s ‘‘Haiti 

Reconstruction’’ report (GAO–13–558), and to post the report on the 

Department of State’s Web site. The Committee further requests 

the Secretary, in consultation with the USAID Administrator, to include in the report a description of: 

—the amounts disbursed and any significant changes to the 

Haiti Rebuilding and Development Strategy since January 

2010, with an explanation of such changes; 

—the amounts obligated and expended on U.S. Government programs and activities since January 2010 to implement the 

Strategy, including grants, contracts, and disbursement data; 

—the goals and quantitative and qualitative indicators to evaluate progress within specific timeframes, and an assessment of 

the extent to which such goals have been achieved; 

—a description of the manner in which Haitian civil society organizations are consulted on the establishment of goals and timeframes and on the design and implementation of programs 

under the Strategy; 

—a description of efforts to increase involvement of the private 

sector in Haiti in recovery and development activities; 
66 

—a description of how the needs of vulnerable populations, including internally displaced persons, women, children, orphans, and persons with disabilities, have been addressed in 

the design and implementation of new programs and infrastructure; 

—an assessment of the impact of agriculture and infrastructure 

programs on food security and the livelihoods of smallholder 

farmers in Haiti; and 

—a description of methods for communicating the progress of recovery and development efforts to people in Haiti. 

Report.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State, in consultation with the heads of other relevant Federal agencies, to submit to the appropriate congressional committees not later than 180 

days after enactment of this act a report on the importance of the 

1977 bilateral agreement with Canada for the reconstruction of Canadian portions of the Alaska Highway to U.S. economic and energy interests. 

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

Arms Trade Treaty.—The Committee does not support the use of 

funds in this act to implement the Arms Trade Treaty, for which 

no funds were included in the President’s budget request. 

Conflict Diamonds.—The Committee supports funding to implement programs to prevent diamonds from fueling conflict in Central Africa. The Committee is concerned that the Kimberley Process 

is failing to adequately prevent conflict diamonds from entering the 

international market. The Committee directs the Department of 

State to engage with members of the OECD to assess whether complementary mechanisms, such as those coordinated by the OECD 

for other minerals from high risk and conflict affected areas, are 

needed to prevent conflict diamonds from entering legitimate supply chains. 

Direct Government-to-Government Assistance.—The Committee 

clarifies, in section 7031(a) of this act, the application of the notification requirement for direct government-to-government assistance. 

The threshold for notification (the purpose of which is to explain 

how the proposed activity complies with pre-obligation assessment 

requirements), is to be calculated based on the anticipated cumulative value of the program. Once notified before the initial obligation is made, the Committee does not expect to be notified again 

unless future year obligations result in a cumulative value in excess of $10,000,000 and the program was not notified prior to the 

initial obligation of funds. 

Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.—The Committee 

recommends $5,000,000 for the EITI including to strengthen the 

capacity of civil society organizations to participate in the EITI 

process. 

Institutions of Higher Education.—The Committee supports continued funding of institutions of higher education in the Middle 

East and South Asia, including through the funds made available 

by title VIII of this act. 

International Child Abductions.—The Committee remains concerned with the failure of certain governments to comply with Federal and State court orders concerning child custody and visitation 
67 

or with the Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child 

Abduction (done at The Hague on October 25, 1980). 

Media Programs.—The Committee recommends funding under 

this and the DF heading for Department of State and USAID programs which support the development of independent media, including in Burma, Afghanistan, and Pakistan and through radio 

broadcasting. 

Reconciliation Programs.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$26,000,000 under this heading and the DA heading for reconciliation programs and activities which bring together and facilitate 

direct communication between individuals of different ethnic, religious and political backgrounds in countries affected by civil strife 

and war, of which $10,000,000 is for such programs and activities 

in the Middle East and North Africa. Funds should be leveraged 

to secure contributions from other donors to the maximum extent 

practicable. 

The Committee recommends funding for the ‘‘New Generation in 

the Middle East’’ initiative to build understanding, tolerance, and 

mutual respect among the next generation of Israeli and Palestinian leaders. 

Rule of Law.—The Committee recognizes that the rule of law is 

fundamental to promoting democracy and sustaining development, 

including by strengthening independent judiciaries, protecting 

human rights, combating human trafficking and corruption, and increasing public accountability and access to justice. The Committee 

directs continued support for such programs that advance the rule 

of law worldwide. 

Scholar Rescue.—The Committee includes in section 7032(c) authority to use funds appropriated by this act for programs to rescue 

scholars from countries denying freedom of expression, and the 

Committee’s expectation is that such scholars would leave their 

country only temporarily and return home when conditions permit. 

Report.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit 

a report, not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, detailing how U.S. foreign assistance made available by this act incorporates the furtherance of religious freedom for countries identified 

in the Annual Report of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (April 2013) as tiers 1 and 2. The report should assess the effectiveness of programs supported by the Department of 

State and USAID that directly and indirectly further religious freedom abroad, including through the development of institutions and 

implementation of legal reforms.

Committee recommendation 1 ............................................................... ........................... 

1The Committee does not recommend an appropriation for the Middle East and North Africa

The Committee does not recommend funding for Middle East and 

North Africa Incentive Fund. Instead, the Committee recommends 

funding under the Complex Foreign Crises Fund to respond to political transitions in the Middle East and North Africa, among 

other purposes.

DEMOCRACY FUND

Appropriations, 2013 1 ........................................................................... $114,733,000 

Budget estimate, 2014 ........................................................................... ........................... 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 130,500,000 

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 

The Committee recommends $130,500,000 for Democracy Fund, 

of which $70,500,000 is for DRL’s Human Rights and Democracy 

Fund and $60,000,000 is for USAID’s Center of Excellence for Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance. The Committee notes 

that the increase for the HRDF above the President’s budget request is offset by an equivalent decrease in the request for democracy programs. 

The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary for DRL to consult with the Committee on the proposed allocation of funds within 

the HRDF prior to the initial obligation of funds. 

Coordination.—The Committee recognizes challenges in implementing democracy and human rights programs overseas, and that 

improved coordination and communication between DRL, USAID’s 

Center, and the NED would enhance the effectiveness of such programs. To avoid duplication, the Committee recommends that DRL 

implement democracy and human rights programs that directly 

support diplomatic goals and objectives and the key priorities of the 

Secretary of State, especially in restrictive environments; the Center support programs that are an integral part of country development strategies and that span the technical areas of elections, governance, human rights, civil society and media, and rule of law; 

and NED continue to target programs in countries and regions in 

which the advancement of democracy and human rights are particularly challenging. 

Democracy Promotion and Security Requirements.—The Committee notes the often unanticipated high costs associated with security of property and personnel in countries in conflict and transition, and that with respect to Iraq and Afghanistan both the Department of State and USAID have not provided clear and consistent guidance to democracy grantees regarding such costs and 

methods of allocation and accounting regarding such costs. The 

Committee directs the Secretary of State and USAID Administrator to improve such guidance to grantees in conflict and transitional countries, and to develop prompt and transparent dispute 

resolution mechanisms for democracy grantees. The Committee 

notes that democracy grantees must continue to have flexibility in 

determining their security needs. The Committee is concerned that 

the failure to adequately address these issues may hinder the interest and ability of democracy grantees to respond to political 

openings elsewhere with support from the Department of State or 

USAID. 

Forensic Assistance.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$2,500,000 for forensic anthropology programs in Central and 

South America, including Guatemala and Peru, where armed conflicts resulted in large numbers of human remains that have yet 

to be exhumed and/or identified, delaying justice and fostering impunity. These funds are to be administered by DRL. 
69 

Journalists.—The Committee notes that journalists and social 

and labor rights activists in Ecuador, Mexico, Honduras, and other 

Central and South American countries have been threatened and 

assassinated, and recommends increased support for programs to 

protect them. 

Labor Rights.—The Committee encourages DRL to continue to 

promote labor rights as a means of advancing American interests 

and values. DRL and USAID’s Center should continue to support 

economic reforms that promote safe working conditions and include 

working people in decisions that affect their jobs. USAID should 

continue to fund its global labor strengthening programs. 

Prison Conditions.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$15,000,000 under this heading to eliminate inhumane prison conditions. The Committee is aware that millions of people suffer inhumane conditions in prisons and other detention facilities in developing countries that are overcrowded, unsanitary, and unsafe. 

Eliminating such conditions would strengthen the rule of law, protect human rights, and save lives. 

Repressive Environments.—The Committee requests the Secretary of State, in consultation with the USAID Administrator, as 

appropriate, to consult with the Committee on governance programs conducted in countries in which the central government acts 

in a manner contrary democratic principles. The Committee encourages the Department of State and USAID to have contingency 

plans for such events that include rapid assessment and response 

mechanisms, and targeted support for only those institutions or individuals within the government and civil society that demonstrate 

a commitment to democracy, after such an event occurs. 

Sudan.—The Committee encourages DRL to support democracy 

and human rights programs in Sudan.

The Committee recommends $1,387,000,000 for Migration and 

Refugee Assistance. An additional $1,513,000,000 in title VIII 

under this heading is designated for OCO. 

Colombia.—The Committee recommends funding under this 

heading at not less than the fiscal year 2013 level for Colombian 

IDPs and refugees. 

Iraq.—The Committee expects the administration to make every 

effort to expedite refugee resettlement of the most vulnerable 

Iraqis and maximize the use of Special Immigrant Visa processing 

while maintaining an effective screening process. The Committee is 
70 

also concerned that many Iraqis remain displaced and in need of 

assistance. 

Israel.—The Committee recommends $15,000,000 from this act 

and prior acts for refugee resettlement in Israel, to be awarded 

through a competitive process. 

North Korea.—The Committee supports assistance for North Korean refugees, including in the PRC. The Committee condemns the 

forced repatriation of North Korean refugees, and supports the involvement of UNHCR and other international humanitarian agencies in protecting the rights of such refugees. 

Protracted Refugee Situations and Report.—The Committee recognizes that growing refugee populations, including Burmese, Somalis, Sudanese, Afghans, Bhutanese, Palestinians, and others 

have been unable to return home for generations, and continue to 

require international assistance. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to fulfill the reporting requirement relating to 

UNRWA under the ‘‘Protracted Refugee Situations’’ subheading in 

Senate Report 112–172. 

Syria.—The Committee urges the Department of State and 

USAID to continue working with humanitarian organizations, 

other donor nations, the United Nations, and Syria’s neighbors to 

keep borders open to Syrians fleeing violence, provide access to 

basic services, and ensure their freedom of movement. The Committee supports sufficient funding to address the humanitarian 

needs of Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey, 

particularly of the most vulnerable people, including persons with 

disabilities. Assistance should be identified as originating from the 

American people whenever possible, unless such identification jeopardizes the safety of implementers or recipients of such assistance. 

Tibetan Refugees.—The Committee recommends additional assistance for Tibetan refugees in Nepal and India, and deplores the 

PRC’s increasing repression of the Tibetan people. The Committee 

is concerned that Nepalese officials have handed over Tibetan refugees to Chinese border authorities, in contravention of Nepal’s 

international obligations to protect refugees fleeing persecution. 

The Committee supports efforts by the Secretary of State to work 

with the Government of Nepal to provide safe transit for Tibetan 

refugees and legal protections to Tibetans residing in Nepal.

This account is a modification of the previously existing Complex 

Crises Fund, and incorporates certain authorities contained in the 

President’s budget request under the Middle East and North Africa 

Incentive Fund proposal, including for loan guarantees and enterprise funds for Jordan, Tunisia, and Egypt. The CFCF provides the 

Secretary of State with the necessary flexibility to respond to complex foreign crises and political transitions in the Middle East and 

North Africa.

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 

The Committee recommends $385,000,000 for Peace Corps. 

The Committee includes a cap on Peace Corps representation expenses of $104,000, and within this amount limits domestic representation expenses to $4,000. 

The Committee is informed that Executive Order 11103, which 

provides returned volunteers with 1 year of noncompetitive eligibility for Federal hiring, with possible extensions to 3 years, in 

practice often results in volunteers only receiving this benefit for 

1 year. The Committee directs the Peace Corps Director to consult 

with the Committee on whether the noncompetitive eligibility for 

Federal employment of returned Peace Corps volunteers (including 

Peace Corps Response volunteers) who serve in good standing 

should in all cases be extended for 3 years, or at least match the 

volunteers’ length of service, without eliminating other grounds for 

extensions of noncompetitive eligibility for Federal employment. 

The Committee further directs the Peace Corps Director to recommend ways that human resource departments of all Federal 

agencies can be informed of the current noncompetitive eligibility 

of these individuals. 

While this act continues language prohibiting the use of funds to 

pay for abortions, an exception is included consistent with section 

614 of division C of Public Law 112–74, as proposed in the President’s budget request. 
72 

The Peace Corps Director is directed to submit a spend plan not 

later than 45 days after enactment of this act on the proposed uses 

of funds under this heading. 

Funds appropriated under this heading are subject to the terms 

of section 7076 of this act. 

MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE CORPORATION

Appropriations, 2013 1 ........................................................................... $897,913,000 

Budget estimate, 2014 ........................................................................... 898,200,000

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 

The Committee recommends $899,000,000 for Millennium Challenge Corporation. 

The Committee is concerned that the MCC’s methodology for 

evaluating eligibility of prospective compact countries under the 

Control of Corruption indicator may not be sufficiently timely or effective. The Committee directs the MCC to more closely coordinate 

evaluation of corruption in candidate countries with relevant offices 

at the Departments of State (including DRL), Treasury, and Commerce. The Committee is concerned that the MCC has proposed 

second compacts and threshold programs in countries where corruption permeates public institutions, such as Honduras and El 

Salvador, and that second compacts have been approved in countries that have received large amounts of other U.S. bilateral and 

multilateral assistance, such as Georgia. The Committee requires 

that 609(g) funding is subject to the regular notification procedures 

of the Committees on Appropriations, threshold programs for countries that have received a compact are prohibited, and that to be 

eligible for a second compact a country must have significantly improved its score under the Control of Corruption indicator. 

The Committee notes that legal difficulties in contract enforcement faced by private investors in certain compact countries indicates weak rule of law and pervasive corruption in those countries. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State, the USAID Administrator, and the MCC CEO to jointly assess and report on the extent to which compacts are aligned with U.S. strategic interests on 

a regional basis and with other U.S. assistance programs; the sustainability of the MCC’s investments by host country governments; 

and whether lessons learned since the MCC’s inception indicate a 

need for adjustments in the MCC’s model of development. 

Funds in this account are subject to the requirements of section 

7076 of this act.

The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for United States African Development Foundation, and directs the USADF’s president

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 2Overseas contingency operations is funded under title VIII. 

The Committee recommends $1,025,000,000 for International 

Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement. An additional 

$106,500,000 in title VIII under this heading is designated for 

OCO. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to notify the Committee in writing within 5 days of exercising authority allowing 

funds made available under this heading to be spent ‘‘notwithstanding any other provision of law’’, and such notification shall include a justification of such activities. 

CARSI/CBSI.—The Committee supports the goals of CARSI and 

CBSI to address narcotics-related violence and corruption in Central America, through law enforcement reform and economic and 

social programs that provide alternatives to gangs. The Committee 

is concerned that corrupt and abusive police and military forces, 

impunity, and a lack of political will to address these problems 

have limited the effectiveness of these efforts. CARSI and CBSI 

funds should be made available for assistance only for governments 

that demonstrate a commitment to punishing corruption and reforming their security forces. 

Colombia.—The Committee recommends $149,000,000 for assistance for Colombia, including not less than $10,000,000 for the 

human rights unit of the Office of the Attorney General, to be administered by the Department of State. 

The Committee is aware of concerns with the effects of 

glyphosate-based herbicides on the environment and human health. 

The Committee requires the Secretary of State to certify, prior to 

the obligation of funds, that the toxic chemicals sprayed do not 

pose unreasonable risks or adverse effects to humans, especially 

pregnant women and children, or the environment, including endemic species. In assessing the risks of aerial spraying of chemical 
75 

herbicides to humans and the environment, the Secretary of State 

shall consult with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Secretary of Health and Human Services. As 

in past years, funds may not be used for aerial spraying in Colombia’s national parks or reserves unless the Secretary of State reports in writing, prior to the use of funds for such purpose, that 

there are no effective alternatives and the spraying is in accordance with Colombian laws and regulations. 

Consular Notification Compliance.—The purpose of section 7083 

of this act is to facilitate compliance with Article 36 of the Vienna 

Convention on Consular Relations (‘‘Vienna Convention’’), done at 

Vienna April 24, 1963, and any comparable provision of a bilateral 

international agreement addressing consular notification and access, and to provide a limited but important remedy for certain previous violations. The Committee notes that Article 36 of the Vienna 

Convention, and similar provisions in other comparable bilateral 

international agreements addressing consular notification and access, are self-executing and have automatic domestic effect as Federal law. The Committee encourages the work already being done 

by the Judicial Conference’s Committee on Rules of Practice and 

Procedure and the Uniform Law Commission to facilitate compliance with the Vienna Convention by Federal, State, and local officials. The Committee did not include express authority for a Federal court to provide a stay of execution to consider a petition for 

review under this section because Federal courts already have such 

statutory authority. 

The Committee took steps to ensure the expeditious review of petitions and to conserve judicial resources. The initial showing provision limits review to those petitions where actual consular notification violations can be established or have been previously established, for example, in previous domestic or international court proceedings. Judicial resources are further conserved by allowing initial review and proposed recommendations and findings on a petition for review to be done by a magistrate judge and barring review 

of a petition if the claimed violation has previously been fully adjudicated by a Federal or State court. In order to ensure the prompt 

resolution of these cases, the Committee included a 1-year time 

limitation on Federal court review from the date a petition is filed. 

Demand Reduction.—The Committee supports the budget request for the Demand Reduction Program. 

Guatemala.—The Committee recommends up to $5,000,000 for 

the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala, but 

requests to be consulted before funds are obligated. 

The Committee encourages USAID and the Department of State 

to give priority to strengthening the capacity of tribunals of high 

risk in Guatemala which handle cases involving organized crime, 

narco-trafficking, violations of human rights, money laundering, 

and other such crimes that threaten peace and security. 

International Law Enforcement Academies.—The Committee recommends $31,300,000 for the ILEAs. 

Mexico.—The Committee supports the prioritization of reform of 

national, state, and local judicial institutions and police forces, and 

cooperation between the United States and Mexico to combat organized crime and drug trafficking along the border. 
76 

Rule of Law Programs.—The Committee directs that $3,000,000 

be made available for coordination of rule of law programs, and 

that such programs shall be awarded on a competitive basis. The 

Committee expects overhead costs for such programs to be reasonable, and that funds will be matched, to the maximum extent practicable, by sources other than the U.S. Government. 

The Committee notes that fair and transparent justice systems 

are critical components to improve the rule of law and the administration of justice, particularly in countries confronting organized 

crime and drug trafficking. The Committee directs that funds be 

made available to continue programs that strengthen and promote 

independent judiciaries to advance the rule of law worldwide. 

Trafficking in Persons.—The Committee supports DRL’s efforts 

to combat human trafficking and exploitative labor practices overseas.

UXO Clearance.—The Committee is aware that the Department 

of State is developing a multi-year strategy for UXO clearance in 

Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands. The Committee supports 

funds to implement the strategy, prioritizes the clearance of landmines and other unexploded ordnance in areas where such ord-
77 

nance was caused by the United States, and directs that not less 

than $12,000,000 be made available for UXO clearance in Laos.

The Committee recommends $250,900,000 for Peacekeeping Op- erations. An additional $138,600,000 in title VIII under this heading is designated for OCO. 

MFO.—The Committee recommends $36,000,000 for the Multinational Force and Observers mission in the Sinai, including 

$8,000,000 to address force protection enhancements. 

Global Peacekeeping Operations Initiative.—The Committee notes 

that the budget request for GPOI represents the final year of the 

second phase of that initiative, which seeks to train and equip 

international peacekeepers to participate in missions abroad. The 

Committee encourages the Department of State to continue to work 

with other donors to share the costs of such activities, and to coordinate with relevant multilateral organizations, and on a bilateral basis, to establish financial models that use the proceeds from 

participation in peacekeeping missions to sustain training efforts. 

The Committee does not endorse the use of GPOI funds for construction of infrastructure, the costs of which should be the responsibility of respective foreign governments. The Committee expects 

to be consulted prior to any initiation of a third phase of this initiative.

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6, but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 

The Committee recommends $105,000,000 for International Military Education and Training. 

The Committee is concerned that IMET representation expenses 

have been used for such items as ball caps, coins, and tote bags, 

and directs the Secretary of State to eliminate expenditures for 

these types of items. 

Analysis and Report.—The Committee directs the Secretary of 

State, following consultation with the Committee, to conduct an 

analysis of IMET’s effectiveness in promoting respect for human 

rights among military officers from countries with a history of 

human rights violations and in establishing enduring relationships 
78 

with U.S. military and civilian personnel. The analysis should include a review of relevant GAO and human rights reports, and consultation with the Department of Defense. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to provide, not 

later than 45 days after enactment of this act, a report on the proposed uses of funds under this heading on a country basis, including a detailed description of proposed activities. 

Saudi Arabia.—The Committee is concerned with the continued 

detention of blogger and journalist Hamza Kashgari, who was arrested in February 2012 and remains in detention. 

Training Report.—The Committee notes that the report on foreign military training required by section 656 of the FAA is to include the units of operation of military personnel who receive training. The Committee intends that such units should be specified at 

the battalion or equivalent level.

1The enacted level reflects the across the board rescission in Public Law 113–6 but does not 

reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds in Public Law 112–25. 2Overseas contingency operations is funded under title VIII. 

The Committee recommends $5,365,000,000 for Foreign Military 

Financing Program. An additional $500,000,000 in title VIII under 

this heading is designated for OCO. 

Bahrain.—The Committee notes the importance of Bahrain to 

the security interests of the United States and allies in the region. 

However, the Committee is concerned that actions by the Government of Bahrain to limit freedom of expression, association and assembly, and reports of excessive force, unfair trials, and mistreatment of prisoners could have negative consequences for U.S. interests in Bahrain. The Committee is also concerned with acts of violence against the government by some protestors. The Committee 

notes that some of the most important reforms recommended by 

the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry have not been implemented. The Committee intends that no crowd control items 

shall be provided to Bahrain during fiscal year 2014, and notes 

that none are included in the President’s budget request. The Committee directs that the report required by section 7010 of this act 

shall include a description of any such items provided to foreign security forces. 

Colombia.—The Committee is concerned with constitutional reforms which may result in impunity for crimes against humanity 

and the transfer of crimes such as ‘‘false positives’’ from civilian 

prosecutors to military jurisdiction, which lacks independence. 

The Committee recommends assistance under this heading for 

Colombia in accordance with the requirements of section 7044(a)(2) 
79 

of this act. Of this amount, 25 percent may be obligated only if the 

Secretary of State consults with, and subsequently certifies and 

submits a report to, the Committee that: 

—cases involving members of the Colombian military who have 

been credibly alleged to have violated human rights, or to have 

aided, abetted or benefitted from criminal or illegal armed 

groups are subject only to civilian jurisdiction during investigation and prosecution, and the Colombian military is not opposing civilian jurisdiction in such cases and is cooperating with 

civilian prosecutors and judicial authorities; 

—the Government of Colombia is not providing immunity from 

prosecution or the suspension of sentences for persons responsible for crimes against humanity, war crimes, or other gross 

violations of human rights; and 

—the Colombian military is respecting the rights and territory of 

indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities. 

Crowd Control Items.—The Committee is concerned with reports 

that foreign security forces have used U.S.-manufactured crowd 

control items, such as tear gas, small arms, light weapons, and ammunition to repress peaceful expression in countries undergoing 

democratic transition. Section 7034(i) of this act addresses this 

matter. The Committee notes that section 620M of the FAA prohibits such assistance to any unit of a foreign security force that 

has committed a gross violation of human rights. 

Ethiopia.—The Committee notes the Government of Ethiopia’s 

efforts to address security and stability in the region, but is concerned with the use of anti-terrorism laws to imprison journalists, 

political opponents, and others calling for free and fair elections 

and political and human rights. The Committee urges the Departments of State and Defense to apply a consistent policy to engagement with the Ethiopian military and police, to help ensure the 

protection of these rights. 

Guatemala.—The Committee is concerned with the failure of the 

Government of Guatemala to implement the Reparations Plan for 

Damages Suffered by the Communities Affected by the Construction of the Chixoy Hydroelectric Dam (April 2010). Section 7044(c) 

of this act restricts assistance for the Guatemalan army and requires a certification by the Secretary of State. Funds appropriated 

under this heading may be obligated for assistance for the Guatemalan army only if the Secretary of State also certifies that the 

army: 

—has a narrowly defined mission focused on border security and 

external threats, and a credible plan to end the army’s involvement in internal law enforcement; 

—is cooperating with civilian investigations and prosecutions of 

human rights cases involving current and retired military officers, with the Inter-American Court on Human Rights, and 

with CICIG, including providing timely access for investigators 

to witnesses, documents, forensic evidence, and other relevant 

information; and 

—is publicly disclosing all military archival documents relating 

to the internal armed conflict in a timely manner in response 

to requests by civilian judicial authorities. 
80 

The Committee notes that Department of State and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services have worked with the Government 

of Guatemala [GOG] to develop a complete list of transition adoption cases involving Guatemalan children and American adoptive 

parents pending since December 31, 2007, as well as a legal and 

transparent progress for bringing these cases to a close. The Committee is concerned that approximately 90 transition adoption 

cases on this list remain unresolved and that meanwhile these children have been stranded in orphanages. Section 7044(c)(2) of this 

act restricts assistance for the Guatemalan armed forces until the 

Secretary of State certifies to the Committees on Appropriations 

that these adoption cases have been resolved or that the GoG is 

making significant progress toward meeting a specific timetable for 

resolving such cases. In determining that these cases have been resolved, the Secretary shall consult with the Director of USCIS. 

Honduras.—The Committee is concerned with violence and corruption in Honduras involving drug-traffickers, other criminal organizations, large landowners, peasant groups, militias, and Honduran police and military forces. Assassinations of human rights 

defenders, journalists, and social activists are common and rarely 

result in prosecutions. In accordance with section 7044(e) of this 

act, funds may be obligated for assistance for the Honduran army 

and police only if the Secretary of State certifies that: 

—the Government of Honduras is reducing corruption including 

by prosecuting corrupt officials and removing them from office; 

—agreements between the United States and Honduras concerning counter-narcotics operations, including assistance for 

innocent victims of such operations, are being implemented; 

—the Government of Honduras is protecting freedom of expression, association, and assembly, and due process of law, including in the Bajo Aguan Valley; 

—the Government of Honduras is investigating and prosecuting 

in the civilian justice system army and police personnel who 

are credibly alleged to have violated human rights, including 

forced evictions, or to have aided or abetted other armed 

groups involved in such acts; and 

—the Honduran military and police are cooperating with civilian 

judicial authorities in such cases. 

Indonesia.—The Committee notes the progress the Government 

of Indonesia is making in strengthening democracy, but military 

reform, particularly accountability for past crimes, lags behind. 

The Secretary of State shall submit a report on steps taken by 

the Government of Indonesia, including the military, during the 

previous 12 months to: 

—deny promotion, suspend from active service, and/or prosecute 

and punish military officers who have violated human rights, 

and to refine further the military’s mission and develop an appropriate defense budget to carry out that mission; 

—cooperate with civilian judicial authorities to resolve cases of 

violations of human rights; 

—implement reforms that increase the transparency and accountability of the military’s budget and operations, and 

achieve divestment of military businesses; and 
81 

—allow unimpeded access to Papua, respect due process and 

freedom of expression, association, and assembly in Papua, and 

release Papuans and Moluccans imprisoned for peaceful political activity. 

Mexico.—The Committee supports joint U.S.-Mexican efforts to 

address drug trafficking and other organized crime and corruption 

in Mexico, and remains concerned with impunity among Mexican 

military and police forces for violations of human rights. In accordance with section 7044(f) of this act, 15 percent of the funds under 

the INCLE and FMF headings that are available for assistance for 

the Mexican army and police may be obligated only if the Secretary 

of State reports in writing that: 

—the Government of Mexico has reformed the military justice 

system to require that military personnel who are credibly alleged to have violated human rights are investigated and prosecuted in the civilian justice system; 

—the Government of Mexico is enforcing prohibitions against torture and the use of testimony obtained through torture; 

—the Mexican military and police are immediately transferring 

detainees to the custody of civilian judicial authorities, in accordance with Mexican law, and are cooperating with such authorities in such cases; and 

—the Government of Mexico is searching for the victims of enforced and involuntary disappearances and prosecuting those 

responsible for such crimes. 

Middle East.—The Committee recommends the President’s budget requests under this heading for Israel and Jordan. 

Morocco.—The Committee notes that Morocco is a strategic ally 

in North Africa where the United States has an interest in preventing terrorism and promoting democracy. The Committee directs the Secretary of State to update the report required by section 7041(g) of division I of Public Law 112–74, including on steps 

taken during the previous 12 months by the Government of Morocco to release political prisoners and support a human rights 

monitoring and reporting role for the U.N. Mission in Western Sahara in cooperation with the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner 

for Human Rights. 

Nepal.—The Committee notes that the Government of Nepal is 

making progress in integrating former rebel combatants into the 

Nepal army, and that further progress in military reform is needed. The Committee is concerned that, despite numerous violations 

of human rights and the laws of war during the period 1995 to 

2005, the Nepal army continues to shield itself from punishment 

and has promoted officers implicated in such crimes. 

Nigeria.—The Committee notes the contributions of the Nigerian 

military to international peacekeeping and in countering Boko 

Haram extremists, but is concerned with reports of abuses by army 

personnel in Baga, Northern Nigeria. The Secretary of State shall 

submit a report detailing the steps taken by the Government of Nigeria to: 

—support an impartial investigation into the violence in Baga by 

providing the National Human Rights Commission unimpeded 

access to Baga, members of the local community, and relevant 

military officials; and 
82 

—prosecute those implicated in extra-judicial killings and destruction of property in Baga. 

Philippines.—The Committee recommends assistance under this 

heading for the Philippines which the Committee understands is 

primarily to enhance maritime security. The Committee notes that 

the Government of the Philippines has stated that it is taking steps 

to reduce extra-judicial executions by military officers and militias, 

but new cases have been reported and impunity for these crimes 

continues. In accordance with section 7043(f) of this act, funds may 

be obligated for assistance for the Philippine army only if the Secretary of State reports in writing that: 

—the GoP is prosecuting those responsible for EJEs and forced 

disappearances and strengthening government institutions 

working to eliminate such crimes; 

—the GoP is implementing a policy of promoting army personnel 

who demonstrate professionalism and respect for human 

rights, and is investigating, prosecuting, and punishing army 

personnel and others who have been credibly alleged to have 

violated such rights; and 

—the Philippine army and paramilitary groups under its control 

are not engaging in acts of violence or intimidation against 

journalists or members of legal organizations and indigenous 

communities who advocate for human rights. 

Security Sector Reform.—The Committee directs that funds appropriated by this act for security sector reform shall be implemented in a manner consistent with the roles, responsibilities and 

guiding principles of the February 2009 ‘‘Security Sector Reform’’ 

paper prepared jointly by USAID, the Department of Defense, and 

the Department of State. 

Somalia.—The Committee does not recommend lethal assistance 

for the Somali security forces and notes that none was included in 

the President’s budget request. The Committee supports reform of 

Somali security forces to ensure they are clan and regionally representative; demonstrate a commitment to respect human rights 

and the rule of law; have a clear command and control structure; 

and do not permit child soldiers. 

Sri Lanka.—The Committee continues restrictions on assistance, 

export licenses, sales and transfers of equipment for the Sri 

Lankan military unless, in accordance with section 7045(e) of this 

act, the Secretary of State certifies that the Government of Sri 

Lanka is: 

—conducting credible, thorough investigations of war crimes and 

violations of international humanitarian law by government 

forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam; 

—bringing to justice individuals who have been credibly alleged 

to have committed such violations; 

—supporting and cooperating with any U.N. investigation of war 

crimes and violations of international humanitarian law; 

—implementing policies to protect judicial independence; freedom 

of expression, association, assembly, and religion; the right of 

political parties, civil society organizations, and journalists to 

operate without harassment or interference; and due process of 

law, including ending arrest and detention under emergencytype regulations; 
83 

—providing access to detainees by humanitarian organizations; 

and 

—implementing policies to promote reconciliation and justice including the demilitarization of public administration and development activities in the north, and devolution of power. 

Uzbekistan.—The Committee notes the cooperation of the Government of Uzbekistan in the transport of supplies and equipment 

in and out of Afghanistan. The Committee is aware, however, that 

the GoU continues to repress its own citizens, and urges the Department of State to use its influence with the GoU to release imprisoned human rights defenders and political prisoners, allow 

NGOs to operate without interference, cooperate with U.N. human 

rights monitors, guarantee freedom of expression and of the media, 

implement conventions against child labor, and fully align its election processes with OSCE guidelines.

Organization of American States.—The Committee recognizes the 

essential role of the IACHR in providing justice for victims of 

human rights violations and protecting basic freedoms in many 

Latin American countries whose justice systems are weak and influenced by corruption. The Committee recommends $2,000,000 for 

a U.S. voluntary contribution to the IACHR, of which not less than 

$500,000 is for the Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of 

Expression. The Committee is concerned with actions by some governments in the region to curtail freedom of the press, and supports efforts of the Special Rapporteur to defend the rights of journalists. 

United Nations.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State 

to post U.S. voluntary contributions under this heading which are 

provided to the U.N. and its affiliated agencies on the Department 

of State’s Web site in a timely manner, and the first such posting 

should include funding detail for fiscal year 2013. The Committee recommends $5,500,000 for a U.S. voluntary con- tribution to the UNHCHR, of which $1,000,000 is to support a 

UNHCHR office in Honduras, $500,000 is to support the UNHCHR 

office in Colombia, and $500,000 is to support the UNHCHR office 

in Mexico. 

The Committee notes that no funds are provided under this

any such IFI for infrastructure projects or other activities that 

would cause significant harm to the environment, forced displacement of local people, or other violations of human rights. 

The Committee recommends transfer authority for the Secretary

the International Development Association. In addition, the Committee recommends $145,300,000 for payment to the Multilateral 

Debt Relief Initiative. 

The Committee notes that the World Bank is reviewing its environmental and social safeguard policies. The Committee supports 

mandatory, enforceable requirements to maximize development results, and as the Committee considers a U.S. contribution to IDA 

17 it will assess the Bank’s progress in adopting effective safeguard 

policies. Such policies should require for all Bank actions (including 

policy and program based lending, borrower systems, country assistance strategies, and public private partnerships) public availability of an assessment of environmental, social and human rights 

impacts at least 120 days prior to Board consideration of any proposed action which could have a significant environmental, social 

or human rights impact. 
87 

The Committee is concerned with the impact of Bank actions on 

indigenous peoples. The Committee also notes that the World 

Bank’s current safeguard policies do not expressly address the special needs of persons with disabilities and children at risk of exploitative labor. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Treasury to seek protections to prevent children from being exploited 

economically and to promote access for people with disabilities during the Bank’s safeguard policy review.

$1,200,000,000 from funds appropriated in Public Law 111–32 to 

reduce the U.S. participation in the New Arrangements to Borrow

increase in SDRs in the U.S. quota to the IMF and the simultaneous decrease in SDRs in the U.S. contribution to the NAB will 

not change the overall U.S. commitment to the IMF. 

Section 7069(d) of this act authorizes the decrease in SDRs in the 

U.S. participation in the NAB, the United States to accept an 

amendment to the IMF Articles of Agreement that will change the 

composition of the IMF Executive Board while preserving the U.S. 

seat on the Board, and the increase in SDRs to the U.S. quota.

section 7020(a) of this act. The Committee includes a provision 

under the Program Account heading directing that not less than 20

The Committee recommends $71,800,000 for Administrative Expenses and $31,000,000 for Program Account for the costs of direct 

and guaranteed loans for the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. 

The Committee directs the President of OPIC to provide, not 

later than 45 days after enactment of this act, a revised policy on 

the use of representation funds that is consistent with section 

7020(a) of this act. 

The Committee supports the implementation of a memorandum 

of understanding between OPIC and the USAID OIG, notes that an 

agreement for fiscal year 2013 was implemented, and directs the 

President of OPIC to implement a fiscal year 2014 agreement, including an inspection/audit plan, as authorized, and allocate adequate funding to support the mutually agreed upon plan in fiscal 

year 2014 to reimburse the USAID OIG for costs related to oversight and audit functions. 

The Committee supports the continued presence of an Office of 

Accountability within OPIC to evaluate compliance with environmental, social, labor, human rights, and transparency standards, 

and directs the President of OPIC to work with the USAID OIG to 

determine the appropriate role of this office in light of the OIG’s 

oversight role. 

The Committee encourages OPIC to consult with relevant Federal agencies and civil society organizations on the advisability of 

adopting an investment policy that supports the export of nuclear 

energy products and services to countries that are developing or expanding their nuclear energy program. U.S. participation in global 

nuclear development could enhance nuclear power plant safety and 

reliability, increase influence over nuclear nonproliferation policy, 

and create American jobs. The Committee recognizes, however, 

that such an investment policy would raise serious nonproliferation 

issues needing thorough consideration, as many countries lack the 

ability to safeguard nuclear material. 

The Committee encourages OPIC to use its existing budget and 

statutory authorities to support small businesses and cooperatives 

in connection with OPIC’s overseas cooperative development programs. Such programs shall include food security, credit, housing, 

agribusiness, technology transfer, rural telecommunications and 

electrification, private enterprise development, and healthcare.
