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. Programs that are failing to perform 

or meet sustainability guidelines, or that have required excessive 

overhead or security costs, should be modified or discontinued. 

Funding for representation and entertainment expenses at the 

Department of State and other agencies are reduced below the levels requested by the administration, and section 7020(a) of this act 

clarifies the intended uses of such funds. The Committee directs 
9 

the Department and agencies to achieve further savings by reducing the cost of executive meetings, ceremonies, and conferences, 

and curtailing commemorative and promotional items such as tshirts, hats, mugs, pins, coins, tote bags, globes, and key chains. 

Section 7051(b) directs the Federal agencies funded by this act 

to report to their respective Office of Inspector General the cost of 

participation in domestic and international conferences that exceed 

$20,000. 

Cost Savings and Efficiencies.—The GAO’s ‘‘2012 Annual Report 

on Opportunities to Reduce Duplication, Overlap and Fragmentation, Achieve Savings, and Enhance Revenue’’ (GAO–12–342SP) 

identified several Department of State and USAID programs that 

could be modified to reduce duplication, improve coordination, and 

achieve savings. The Committee directs the Secretary of State and 

USAID Administrator to submit a joint report to the Committee 

not later than 90 days after enactment of this act on the status of 

implementation of the following GAO recommendations: 

Stabilization, Reconstruction, and Humanitarian Assistance.—The GAO found that overlap between the Departments 

of Defense and State and USAID assistance programs is not 

limited to Iraq and Afghanistan. For example, the Department 

of Defense and USAID have each provided basic medical care 

in Yemen, built schools in Azerbaijan, and rehabilitated water 

wells in Pakistan. The GAO recommends that these Departments and USAID develop a common framework for carrying 

out their respective responsibilities, including a shared database to post information about humanitarian and development 

assistance outside of wartime or disaster environments. 

Training To Identify Fraudulent Documents.—The GAO 

found that seven different Federal entities within three Federal agencies provide training to foreign government officials to 

detect fraudulent travel documents and often train the same 

groups, such as immigration officers and law enforcement officials. The Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism 

does not know how many agencies provide fraudulent travel 

document training to foreign officials, and there is no mechanism to coordinate this type of training. The GAO recommends 

that the Secretary of State develop a mechanism to improve coordination among agencies that are conducting this training, 

which the Committee endorses. 

Overseas Administrative Services.—The GAO found that 

greater participation in ICASS increases economies of scale but 

that in 2011 about one-third of the agencies opted to obtain 

services outside of ICASS. While most agencies indicated they 

provide services at a lower cost than ICASS, they could not 

provide data or analysis to confirm this assertion. 

The GAO also found that the Department of State has not 

continued to implement measures to reduce the number of U.S. 

overseas ICASS staff, and since 2007 no non-Department of 

State ICASS providers have been established at individual 

posts to offer potentially more efficient ICASS service providers. 

Energy Audits and Savings.—The Committee is concerned that 

the Department of State, USAID, Peace Corps, and other agencies 
10 

funded by this act have not taken sufficient steps to improve energy efficiency at overseas posts. Technological innovations and 

common sense practices could save taxpayer dollars and reduce 

waste overseas, just as they can domestically. Section 7034(v) requires such agencies to conduct updated environmental assessments and water and energy audits of overseas post operations, including staff housing, to assess consistency with Federal energy efficiency standards and environmental practices such as improving 

water efficiency, reducing waste through recycling, composting organic materials, and taking full advantage of efficiency technologies 

in lighting, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, ‘‘right-sizing’’ 

vehicle fleets, trip pooling, use of bicycles and public transport, and 

improving the stewardship of electronic equipment. Any assessment or audit findings of a shortfall in such practices shall be corrected by implementation of the recommendations to meet, at a 

minimum, the targets for Federal building energy efficiency and 

environmental sustainability mandated by the Energy Independence and Security Act, 2007, and Executive Order 13514. The Committee directs all agencies funded by this act to submit reports not 

later than September 30, 2013, 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. The Committee directs USAID, Peace Corps, and 

the other agencies to consult with the Department of State’s Office 

of Building Operations about implementing such recommendations 

for overseas posts. 

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS

The Committee remains concerned with the content and format 

of the Department of State’s and USAID’s CBJ documents, which 

should be designed for the Committee to efficiently evaluate the resource requirements and proposals requested by the administration 

while minimizing extraneous material. The Committee appreciates 

the significant time and effort devoted to preparing the CBJs. However, as in past years, the fiscal year 2013 CBJs contain a large 

amount of wordy text that sheds little light on how funds will 

achieve specific objectives, and dollar amounts in tables often do 

not match the text except at the account level. This has necessitated multiple requests for additional information, which is inefficient and unnecessarily delays the Committee’s work. In an effort 

to improve the CBJs’ usefulness, the Committee directs the Secretary of State and USAID Administrator to consult with the Committee on the content and format of the fiscal year 2014 CBJs. 

The Committee is also concerned that the Department of State’s 

budget formulation and strategic planning processes are not coordinated to ensure that strategic priorities are adequately resourced 

and the budget request levels proposed for each office and program 

reflect and support the Department’s priorities. The Committee 

notes that the Department is reorganizing the budget, finance, and 

strategic planning offices, and urges the Department to ensure that 

the reorganization results in improved integration of the Department’s strategic planning and budget formulation process. 
11 

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 be the priority. The Committee directs 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 2014 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 and any other 

agency that utilizes a working capital fund to include in the CBJ 

the total budgetary resources for the offices that use a WCF. The 

CBJ shall also include a table on WCF resources that will serve as 

the control level for reprogramming and transfer purposes. 

DEFINITION OF PROGRAM, PROJECT, AND ACTIVITY

For purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 

Control Act of 1985 (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 shall apply to the accounts listed in that section. 

In carrying out any Presidential sequestration, the Department 

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

DEFINITION OF REGULAR NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES

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. Thus, such budget justification documents, operating and spend plans do not suffice as justification 

for purposes of satisfying the special notification requirement. 
12 

REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

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

of funds as required by sections 7015 and 7019 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 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 data for the prior fiscal year, 

budget request, congressional action, rescissions, and the proposed 

operating plan level, and to include WCF resources, as appropriate. 

The Committee directs the Department of State and other agencies 

to provide quarterly updates of salary and benefits costs and onboard staffing levels (employees and contractors). 

The Committee is disappointed by the absence of useful information in prior fiscal year spend plans. Rather than plans, these documents would more aptly be described as cursory recitations of 

broadly stated goals, as they contain dollar amounts only at the account level and text that leaves the reader to wonder how funds 

will be used to achieve specific objectives. The Department of State 

is directed to consult with the Committee on the format and content of future operating and spend plans. 

The Committee is concerned that reprogrammings of funds often 

occurs late in the fiscal year and directs the Department of State, 

USAID, and other agencies to submit reprogramming requests not 

later than July 31, 2013, absent a compelling justification. 

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 

only 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. 

The Committee directs that the Department of State, USAID, 

BBG, MCC, African Development Foundation, and Inter-American 

Foundation no longer send to the Committee the quarterly, semiannual, 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. 

IMPROVING HUMANITARIAN AID EFFECTIVENESS

The Committee is increasingly concerned with the growing number and severity of humanitarian crises that cause widespread loss 

of life and property damage, and the burden they are placing on 

national budgets and international donors. Triggered by conflict, 
13 

natural disasters, pandemics, food and water insecurity, and population displacement, the amount of official humanitarian aid from 

the United States and other donors reportedly exceeded 

$9,700,000,000 in 2011. The increasing demand for humanitarian 

services, escalating costs, and budget constraints underline the 

need for improved efficiency and effectiveness in targeting such aid. 

The Committee recognizes that greater accountability to intended 

beneficiaries will help ensure better quality and effectiveness in the 

way resources are used. Yet there are significant weaknesses in 

collecting beneficiary feedback and acting on it, despite some 

progress in increasing awareness of the importance of accountability to beneficiaries. 

The Committee includes a new provision, section 7034(p), to enhance the effectiveness of humanitarian aid through a continuous 

and accurate flow of feedback data, obtained independently. Such 

feedback will ensure that both aid agencies and donors have a 

clearer understanding of the perceptions of affected populations, 

whether the aid they receive is relevant to their needs, how much 

they trust the people helping them, and whether they find it worthwhile to provide feedback. When reported to Congress and published, feedback data of this kind, which provides the basis to compare and contrast the perceived performance of aid providers, may 

offer an incentive to turn the principle of accountability to beneficiaries into practical improvements on the ground and cost savings. 

STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS

The Committee recognizes that the winding down of United 

States military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan require adjustments in economic and security assistance. The Committee expects 

future budget requests to be significantly reduced for these countries, as program implementation is impacted by U.S. military and 

civilian personnel reductions, restructuring activities resulting 

from smaller in-country footprints, and the large amounts of unexpended funding that currently exists for these countries. Further, 

the Committee notes the rise of nationalism which directly impacts 

bilateral relations and, in the case of Iraq and Pakistan, results in 

the suspension of programs. 

The Committee supports the administration’s strategic pivot toward Asia and recommends funding above the budget request to 

implement programs that further United States interests in that 

region. The Committee is aware of the PRC’s interests in extending 

influence throughout Asia, including in the South China Sea which 

is a potential flashpoint for confrontation between the PRC and its 

Asian neighbors. 

Additional funds are similarly recommended for programs that 

further United States interests in Africa and Central and South 

America. The Committee again recognizes the geostrategic interests of the PRC in these regions, particularly in natural resourcerich countries. 

The fiscal year 2013 budget request did not include funding 

under the Assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia heading, but the Committee recognizes that the countries in this region 

remain important economic and security partners for the United 
14 

States. The Committee includes assistance for countries formerly 

funded under this heading under the GHP, ESF, and INCLE headings, at levels comparable to fiscal year 2012. 

COUNTRIES OF SPECIAL CONCERN

The Committee notes that since September 11, 2001, the United 

States has spent more than $66,800,000,000 on civilian assistance 

programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq to support counterterrorism/counterinsurgency efforts. Nonetheless, the threat of terrorism persists and is found in other countries and regions. 

This assistance has achieved significant gains in some sectors, 

but progress has too often been limited by vaguely defined and unrealistic goals, exorbitant security costs, contractor fraud and mismanagement, large expenditures on infrastructure that cannot be 

sustained, and unreliable host country governments. Many of the 

programs and activities funded by the Department of State and 

USAID were initiated or encouraged by the Department of Defense 

within a counterinsurgency context, and focused on short-term impact rather than long-term developmental sustainability. The Committee supports continuing efforts to solidify gains and maximize 

Afghanistan’s and Iraq’s chances of emerging from years of war 

more democratic, just, and stable than before, but has set funding 

ceilings for operations and programs in these countries, as noted 

below. 

AFGHANISTAN

Operations.—The Committee recommends $1,642,276,000 for Department of State, including for Worldwide Security Protection, and 

$200,800,000 for USAID operations in Afghanistan, and notes that 

a total of $142,000,000 in prior fiscal year funds will carry over for 

Department of State operations into fiscal year 2013. 

The Committee supports the administration’s plan to reduce government and contract personnel in that country, including the 

downsizing of civilian provincial and sub-provincial presence, and 

expects Embassy Kabul to continuously conduct rightsizing exercises to ensure that a minimal, but appropriate, number of personnel remain in country. While the Committee sets a funding ceiling for the costs of operations and personnel in Afghanistan, waiver 

authority is included to allow the administration to respond to extraordinary, unforeseen contingencies that endanger human health 

or welfare. 

The Committee appreciates the necessity to maintain a diplomatic presence outside of Kabul in secure facilities, particularly 

given regional geopolitical considerations, and endorses collocation 

with other United States Government agencies to the maximum extent practicable. The Department of State should utilize existing 

facilities in maintaining this diplomatic presence, especially in 

Kandahar and Mazar-e-Sharif. The Committee does not recommend funding for construction of a new facility in Kandahar, 

and understands that the Department has $111,000,000 available 

in carryover balances for the renovation and upgrade of an existing 

facility. 
15 

Air Mobility.—The Committee recommends $233,247,000 to continue air mobility for civilian United States Government personnel 

in Afghanistan, and expects rationalization of Department of State 

and USAID air operations in a timely manner. The Committee understands that this funding level sustains the current capacity of 

aviation assets, including aircraft acquired to replace USAIDleased aircraft. Section 7004(e) permits the Department of State to 

maintain and continue aviation capacity that is no larger than the 

capacity on the date of enactment of this act. The Department of 

State should consider the most cost-effective options for the construction and maintenance of air hubs, which should be considered 

temporary facilities. Section 7052(c)(1) provides authority to the 

Department of State to collect from private individuals the cost of 

travel on Embassy Air in Afghanistan through the Working Capital 

Fund. 

Assistance.—The Committee recommends $1,580,750,000 for assistance for Afghanistan, and notes unobligated balances as of 

March 31, 2012, totaling $3,684,464,000. 

The Committee recommends $15,000,000 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. 

The Committee recommends not less than $5,000,000 for the Department of State’s Office of Global Women’s Issues for small capacity-building grants for Afghan women NGOs to enhance the economic and political participation and leadership of women, and to 

support initiatives to protect the rights of Afghan women and girls. 

The Committee continues conditions on assistance for Afghanistan similar to prior fiscal years to ensure effectiveness and sustainability of programs, and expects the GoA to assume the burdens of governance in the near term. The Committee underscores 

the impact of official corruption and mismanagement on the legitimacy of the GoA which, if left unchecked, will erode the international community’s investments in Afghanistan over the past 

decade. 

The Committee continues support for rule of law programs and 

directs the Secretary of State to submit a report on such programs 

in Afghanistan, including the amounts and uses of funds, the extent to which the GoA supports such efforts, an assessment of the 

results to date, and benchmarks for measuring progress. 

The Committee recommends that ESF and INCLE assistance for 

Afghanistan be utilized to support the GoA in replicating the 

Helmand Food Zone program in other Afghan provinces. 

The Committee recommends not less than $10,000,000 to support 

a democracy and human rights assistance strategy for Afghanistan, 

including to implement programs from such strategy, to be administered by DRL. 

The Committee continues to support assistance for the National 

Solidarity Program, and directs USAID to prioritize support for 

this program with funds appropriated by this act. 

Funds are allocated in the following table and subject to the requirements of section 7019 of this act:

PAKISTAN

Operations.—The Committee recommends $184,457,000 for Department of State, including for Worldwide Security Protection, and 

$42,000,000 for USAID operations in Pakistan, and notes that a 

total of $21,000,000 in prior fiscal year funds will carry over for Department of State operations into fiscal year 2013. 

The Committee acknowledges the detrimental effects of strained 

bilateral relations on the implementation of United States foreign 

assistance programs in Pakistan, and recommends that the Department of State and other United States Government agencies reassess personnel requirements and downsize accordingly. While the 

Committee recognizes the importance of Pakistan to United States 

strategic interests in South Asia, maintaining the operational status quo at Embassy Islamabad and elsewhere absent programmatic 

activity is fiscally imprudent. This geostrategic importance is complicated by the apparent unwillingness and/or inability of the Government of Pakistan to keep open supply routes to Afghanistan or 
17 

to mitigate extremist attacks on coalition forces in Afghanistan 

emanating from sanctuaries in Pakistan. 

While the Committee sets a budget ceiling for costs associated 

with operations and personnel in Pakistan, a national security 

waiver is provided to allow the administration to respond to any 

extraordinary, unforeseen contingencies that endanger human 

health or welfare. 

Assistance.—The Committee recommends $800,346,000 for assistance for Pakistan, and notes unobligated balances as of March 31, 

2012, totaling $892,530,000. 

The Committee endorses Embassy Islamabad’s assistance review, 

and directs the Department of State to provide updates on its findings. Restrictions on assistance similar to those in prior fiscal years 

are continued in this act. 

The Committee recommends not less than $10,000,000 for the 

Pakistan Civilian Assistance Program for continued assistance for 

individuals and communities that suffer losses as a result of military operations, and directs USAID to consult with the Committee 

on the use of funds prior to obligation. 

The Committee directs the Department of State and USAID to 

obligate and expend program funds for Pakistan at the minimum 

rate possible, including for infrastructure projects, until such time 

as bilateral relations show consistent improvement. 

The Committee expands the use of funds appropriated under the 

FMF and PCCF headings for Pakistan to include assistance for 

counterpiracy programs, and provides that unobligated funds appropriated by this act under the PCCF may be reprogrammed for 

other purposes should cargo transit routes through Pakistan remain closed and programmatic activity in Pakistan remain stalled. 

The Committee remains concerned with the apparent 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 rigorously applied. 

The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary for DRL, after 

consultation with USAID and NED, to submit a multi-year strategy to promote democracy and human rights in Pakistan and recommends $10,000,000 for programs to implement this strategy, to 

be administered by DRL. 

The Committee recommends continuing funding through DRL 

and DCHA for activities that support the development of independent media including radio in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

IRAQ

Operations.—The Committee recommends $450,000,000 for Department of State, and $53,000,000 for USAID operations in Iraq, 

and notes that a total of $1,654,000,000 in prior fiscal year funds 

will carry over for Department of State operations into fiscal year 

2013. The Committee notes that including carryover balances, Department of State operations in Iraq are funded at $2,104,000,000 

which is adequate to support fiscal year 2013 operations, assuming 

the Department’s estimated revised support costs, on-board staffing 

levels, and shared aviation costs. Section 7052(c)(1) provides authority to the Department to collect from private individuals the 

cost of travel on Embassy Air in Iraq through the Working Capital 

Fund. 

The Committee supports the Department of State’s review of operations that will decrease the civilian presence in Iraq, and encourages further rightsizing of diplomatic facilities in Kirkuk and 

Basrah. The Committee endorses efforts to utilize the local economy for goods and services, but recognizes the limitations of such 

efforts outside of northern Iraq. While the Committee sets a budget 

ceiling for costs associated with operations and personnel in Iraq, 

a national security waiver is provided to allow the administration 

to respond to any extraordinary, unforeseen contingencies that endanger human health or welfare. 

The Committee recognizes that further consolidation of facilities 

is warranted in Iraq, and section 7004(g) requires the Secretary of 

State to submit an updated facilities construction plan, which 
19 

should include consideration of closing the facility at Kirkuk and 

moving support services to Erbil; decreasing personnel, contractor, 

and physical structures in Basrah to establish a leaner operation; 

and centralizing certain administrative and support functions that 

require a more permissive security environment (including purchasing of local goods and warehousing) in Erbil. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report 

not later than 45 days after enactment of this act, and every 90 

days thereafter until September 30, 2014, detailing the number of 

United States Government personnel and contractors in Iraq, 

disaggregated by Federal agency. The Committee expects this number to significantly decrease as facilities are consolidated in Baghdad. 

The Committee regrets that land-use agreements are outstanding for certain facilities in Iraq, and prohibits the use of funds 

appropriated by this act for construction or rehabilitation on properties for which no land-use agreement exists. 

Assistance.—The Committee recommends $582,347,000 for assistance for Iraq, and notes unobligated balances as of March 31, 2012, 

totaling $1,977,000,000. The Committee is aware of increasing 

Iraqi oil revenues and expects that after receiving billions of dollars 

of United States assistance the Government of Iraq will finance its 

own development programs. 

The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the Marla Ruzicka 

Iraqi War Victims Fund for continued assistance for civilian victims of conflict, and the transition of this program to an Iraqi-run 

entity. 

The Committee notes the largely unsuccessful implementation of 

the police development program in Iraq, with the exception of activities conducted in northern Iraq. The Committee recognizes several factors contributing to this deficiency, including the relative 

lack of interest by the GoI for such activities, inadequate planning 

by the Department of State (including unnecessary construction at 

the Baghdad Police Academy Annex), and programmatic assumptions regarding shared bilateral interests that proved false. The 

Committee directs the Secretary of State to report to the Committee the findings of the Department’s review of the PDP, and to 

limit the expenditure of funds only for programs in northern Iraq. 

In order to be successful, the Committee expects GoI buy-in for the 

program, which should include cost-sharing, and a complete revision of goals and objectives at substantial savings to U.S. taxpayers. No funding is provided in this act for the PDP. 

The Committee recommendation does not include funding for 

USAID’s Tarabot and Ajyal programs as the costs of strengthening 

public management institutions and training teachers should be 

the responsibility of the GoI and supported by national revenues. 

Further, the follow-on to USAID’s Tijara business program shall 

not exceed $10,000,000. The Committee recommends not less than 

$30,000,000 for democracy and governance programs. 

The Committee expects the Department of State to update the 

report on ethno-religious minorities in Iraq under the ESF heading 

in Senate Report 112–85 not later than 90 days after enactment of 

this act. 
20 

To ensure transparency and accountability of funds, the Committee continues conditions on assistance for Iraq. 

Iraqi National Budget.—GAO’s most recent estimate of Iraq’s cu- mulative budget surplus is $52,100,000,000 as of December 2009, 

of which, adjusting for outstanding advances (including letters of 

credit, advance payments on domestic contracts, and other funds 

that have been committed for future expenses or paid out), at least 

$11,800,000,000 was available for future spending. Under the 

terms of a February 2010 IMF arrangement, Iraq agreed to report 

its outstanding advances by September 30, 2010, but has not done 

so. While GAO was able to determine that in the first 6 months 

of 2011 Iraq collected $7,900,000,000 more in oil revenue than it 

originally budgeted, current data on outstanding advances is not 

available. In order for the Committee to consider these Iraqi revenues when it reviews the spend plan submitted for assistance for 

Iraq, the Committee endorses the GAO’s recommendation that the 

Departments of State and the Treasury work with the Government 

of Iraq to identify these resources by completing the IMF-required 

review of outstanding advances. 

Security Conditions Report.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report to the Committee detailing the 

effect of the security situation in Iraq on the ability of the Department of State and USAID to effectively and efficiently deliver assistance. The report shall be broken down by region and shall include, to the extend relevant: (1) an assessment of the current security situation; (2) the impact of the security situation on the 

planned obligation and expenditure of funds, and the movement of 

personnel; (3) an explanation of the type and nature of any increased security costs; (4) details on the impact of the delivery of 

humanitarian assistance; and (5) a plan to ameliorate the negative 

impact of a deteriorating security condition.

The Committee recommends $7,437,468,000 for Diplomatic and Consular Programs, of which up to $1,428,468,000 is for Worldwide 

Security Protection. An additional $1,426,000,000 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 $2,448,702,000 

for all American salaries at overseas and domestic United States 

diplomatic missions, and does not include the requested extension 

of authority and funding for phase III of Foreign Service overseas 

comparability pay. 

Overseas Programs.—The Committee recommends 

$2,631,039,000 for the operational programs of the Department of 

State’s regional bureaus, which are responsible for managing U.S. 
22 

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 

thousands 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, funded 

through the Bureaus of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, African Affairs, Western Hemisphere Affairs, and South and Central Asian 

Affairs (not including Afghanistan and Pakistan) and to support 

additional programs at American Spaces worldwide. 

Diplomatic Policy and Support.—The Committee recommends 

$892,982,000 for the operational programs of the Department of 

State’s functional bureaus to provide overall policy direction, coordination, and program management among U.S. missions abroad. 

The Committee recommends not less than $6,500,000 for salary 

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

the Office of the Secretary; not less than $9,140,000 for program 

costs for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor; and 

not less than $16,294,000 for program costs for the Bureau of 

Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs. 

Security Programs.—The Committee recommends $1,464,745,000 

for the operation of security programs, including $1,210,358,000 for 

Worldwide Security Protection to protect diplomatic personnel, 

overseas diplomatic missions, residences, and domestic facilities 

and information. An additional $218,110,000 is included within the 

Human Resources function for salaries for a total of $1,428,468,000 

for WSP in this title. The Committee recommends an additional 

$651,000,000 for OCO costs for WSP. 

PROGRAM ISSUES

Coordinator of United States Assistance to Europe, Eurasia and 

Central Asia.—The Committee affirms, in section 7068, the authorities of the Coordinator of U.S. Assistance to Europe, Eurasia 

and Central Asia, as provided in the SEED and Freedom Support 

Acts, and intends that all assistance appropriated under titles III 

and IV of this act for the countries of Europe, Eurasia, and Central 

Asia be subject to procedures developed by the Coordinator to ensure the strategic allocation of appropriated funds and effective coordination among U.S. Government agencies, and between the 

United States and other bilateral and international donors. 

Cultural Heritage.—The Committee recommends $6,500,000 for 

this program, 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. The Department of State 

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

Cyber Issues.—The Committee recommends $1,000,000 for operations and programs under the authority of the Coordinator for 

Cyber Issues, in addition to funds otherwise made available for 

such purposes. The Coordinator, in consultation with the heads of 

other relevant Federal agencies, is encouraged to consult on a regular basis with other nations and organizations on cybersecurity 
23 

issues, including research and development, infrastructure protection, standards, and best practices in the field. The Coordinator is 

directed to consult with the Committee prior to providing funds to 

United Nations cyber programs. 

Freely Associated States.—The Committee directs the Department of State to continue working within the National Security 

Council Interagency Policy Committee on Freely Associated State 

Affairs to implement its action plan to reduce the impact of FAS 

migration on Federal, State, local, and territorial governments, 

particularly those in affected jurisdictions. The Committee also encourages the USAID field office in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, to provide technical assistance to the governments of the FAS 

in support of economic development and health. 

Human Rights Vetting.—The Committee supports the Department of State’s efforts to monitor U.S. military assistance for foreign security forces, pursuant to section 620M of the FAA. The vetting process has been widely applied to individuals who are candidates for U.S. training, and the Committee understands that the 

Department of State is also applying the law to those individuals’ 

units and to units that may receive U.S. equipment, as required. 

As in past years, the Committee recommends not less than 

$3,500,000 for DRL for personnel, training, and other support to 

strengthen the vetting process and to implement the other requirements of section 620M. 

Overseas Presence and Staffing Levels.—The Committee directs 

the Secretary of State to provide the Committee, not later than 45 

days after enactment of this act, a consolidated list of Office of Inspector General recommendations for potential position reductions 

and office-size reductions or closures since October 1, 2011, including cost savings, and the Department’s responses to such recommendations. 

Public Diplomacy.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$541,566,000 for public diplomacy programs to be funded through 

direct appropriations, and an additional $5,000,000 through Department of State fees. 

Representation Expenses.—The Committee does not include a 

provision included in the budget request authorizing the Department of State to transfer up to $1,000,000 from D&CP to Representation Expenses. 

Tibet.—The Committee recommends not less than $750,000 for 

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

the broad 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. 

Trafficking in Persons.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$46,500,000 in this act for TIP programs, of which $7,500,000 is included under the D&CP heading for the Office to Monitor and 

Combat Trafficking in Persons ($3,202,000 for programs and 

$4,198,000 for salaries). The Committee directs the Secretary of 

State to post, or otherwise make available, the human trafficking 

hotline and Web site information in Consular Affairs public waiting 

areas in all U.S. Embassies and Consulates in a timely manner. 
24 

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 Committee directs the Department of State to include in the 2013 report, and subsequent reports, an assessment of progress made by 

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

Travel Cards and Purchase Cards.—The Committee directs the 

Secretary of State to report on the fiscal year 2012 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 these noncompliant purchases, and the Department’s policy for disciplining employees who abuse the use of 

Government credit cards. 

Victims of Terrorism.—The Committee directs the Secretary of 

State to continue to assist American victims of terrorism abroad regarding frozen assets for compensation and other issues, including 

for the bombings of United States facilities in Kenya and Tanzania 

and terrorist acts sponsored by former Libyan leader Muammar 

Qaddafi. 

Not later than 45 days after enactment of this act, 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 that remains blocked, the amount of settlement 

funds available to pay Libya-related awards, and the total amount 

of certified awards. 

The Committee notes that $4,000,000 appropriated in Public Law 

110–161 for compensation to the families of members of the Foreign Service or other U.S. Government employees (or their dependents) who were killed in terrorist attacks since 1979 remains unexpended, and that the obligation of funds are subject to specific authorization in subsequent Acts of Congress. The Committee will 

consider additional funds for such purposes once specific authorizing language is enacted into law. 

Visa Processing.—The Committee recognizes the recent efforts of 

the Secretary of State to improve visa services and meet growing 

visa demand, particularly in PRC and Brazil. Executive Order 

13597 directs the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security, in 

coordination with OMB and other relevant agencies, to develop a 

plan to increase nonimmigrant visa processing capacity in the PRC 

and Brazil by 40 percent, ensure that 80 percent of nonimmigrant 

visa applicants are interviewed within 3 weeks of receipt of application, increase efforts to expand the Visa Waiver Program, and expand reciprocal recognition programs for expedited travel. Section 

7076 of this act directs the Secretary of State to continue to take 

the necessary steps to achieve these goals and to report to the 

Committee on progress made. 

The Committee remains concerned with the lack of access to consular services in certain high-demand countries due to lengthy 

travel distances, and encourages the Secretary of State to evaluate 

alternative means of addressing this problem, including remote 

interviewing and videoconferencing.

General, and an additional $55,900,000 in title VIII under this 

heading is designated for OCO. 

The Committee directs the Inspectors General of the Department 

of State and USAID, SIGAR, and SIGIR 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 continue to plan for increased responsibilities when SIGIR draws down its oversight operations, and to include in the fiscal year 2014 budget request the 

personnel authorities required to conduct adequate oversight of Department of State’s Iraq operations and programs. 

The Committee recommends $1,378,000 for the OIG’s Middle 

East Regional Office, in addition to funds otherwise made available 

for such purposes, to support additional auditors to meet the increased demands as SIGIR draws down. 

EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 625,000,000 

The Committee recommends $625,000,000 for Educational and 

Cultural Exchange Programs. 

The Committee recognizes the need to expand international exchanges and intends that programs funded under this heading will 

support U.S. foreign policy objectives. 
26 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to use the additional funds to increase the number of participants and broaden 

the representation of groups that have been traditionally underrepresented, such as youth and individuals from rural and highpoverty areas, including the Benjamin Gilman International Scholarship, International Visitor Leadership, and Citizen Exchange 

youth programs. The Committee also directs the Secretary to consider the use of virtual educational exchange programs and other 

programs that expand the number, diversity, and experience of 

participants beyond traditional study abroad programs. 

The Committee recognizes the importance of educational exchanges for professionals in key fields from Eurasia and recommends that a portion of the Fulbright awards from this region 

are designated as Edmund S. Muskie Fellowships. 

The Committee supports the Secretary’s efforts to reduce the administrative and overhead costs of exchange programs and expects 

that the 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 directs the Secretary of State to consult with the Committee prior to implementing changes to exchange programs proposed for fiscal year 2013, including the Mike Mansfield Fellowship 

program, regarding compliance with applicable authorizing language. The Committee expects any proposed changes to exchange 

programs that require amending existing authorization will only 

occur after consultation with relevant committees, and amendments to existing law, as appropriate. 

NERD Exchanges.—The Committee notes the administration 

submitted a budget amendment regarding fellowship and exchange 

programs to be conducted by the NERD program. The Committee 

includes additional funds under this heading for such purposes, 

and directs to be consulted prior to the initial obligation of funds.

artists, which advance public diplomacy. The Committee requests 

the Secretary of State to report on the national interest served by 

the American Music Abroad program. 

Summer Work Travel and High School Exchange Programs.— 

The Committee is concerned with lax oversight of Summer Work 

Travel and high school exchange programs, which has resulted in 
27 

abuses of foreign participants and harm to the reputation of these 

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 and do not divert jobs from Americans. The 

Committee expects to be informed in a timely manner of improvements to these programs and any recurring problems.

and an accounting of the actual and anticipated proceeds of sales 

for all projects in fiscal year 2012. 

Section 7004(h) requires the Secretary of State to establish procedures for the construction and operation of temporary and permanent diplomatic facilities in environments in which the Department

which should include each international organization funded, a notation of any exchange rate fluctuations that occurred since such 

estimates were calculated for the fiscal year 2013 CBJ, and a description of any Tax Equalization Fund credits applied. 

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 rigorous, credible, and 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. 

Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.—The 

Committee notes that the mission of the OECD does not include 

lobbying. 

United Nations Capital Master Plan.—The Committee includes a 

provision, section 7049(d), that prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this act for additional costs for the Capital Master Plan 

construction project for the United Nations Headquarters in New 

York. No funds were included in the budget request for this purpose. The Committee recommends that the administration request 

such funds, if justified, in subsequent fiscal year budget requests. 

United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.—The Committee does not recommend the amount in the 

budget request for a U.S. contribution to UNESCO, which is prohibited by law. 

United States Contributions.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State to post the United States assessed contributions 

under this heading to the United Nations and its affiliated agencies 

on the Department of State’s Web site in a timely manner, and the

peacekeeping activities in Somalia, which is $50,000,000 above the 

budget request and reflects the costs related to the expanded U.N. 

mission. 

The Committee recognizes the necessity of U.N. peacekeeping 

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 includes language in section 7076 requiring the 

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.

Internet Circumvention.—The Committee recommends 

$12,000,000 for BBG’s Internet circumvention program, and directs 

BBG to submit a report, prior to the initial obligation of funds, detailing planned expenditures for this purpose. The Committee en-
32 

courages continued coordination and cooperation between the Department of State and USAID on the planning and implementation 

of these programs. The Committee encourages BBG to consider digital security and digital safety training for those who use BBG circumvention tools. The Committee directs BBG to continue to monitor protections against BBG tools being used for illicit purposes, 

and expects BBG to inform the Committee of any concerns. 

Iran.—The Committee directs GAO to submit a report assessing 

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. 

New Program Initiatives.—The Committee supports BBG’s efforts 

to identify new program formats but is concerned that BBG proposes reductions in current programs before testing new program 

models for effectiveness, particularly in priority languages. Therefore, the Committee recommends funding to sustain BBG broadcasts to the PRC as well as for the VOA Mandarin television initiative begun in fiscal year 2012. The Committee recommends 

$400,000 in addition to funds already available for VOA and RFA 

Tibetan Services for special programming, particularly radio programming, to enhance coverage of events in Tibet. The Committee 

directs the BBG to consult prior to implementation of such special 

programs. The Committee also recommends funding to continue 

current VOA and RFE/RL programming to Central Asia and for the 

new VOA and RFE/RL program to that region. The Committee recommends the budget request for the expansion of Middle East 

Broadcasting Network’s television programming to Egypt. If BBG’s 

fiscal year 2014 budget request proposes to reduce current programs to the PRC or Central Asia in favor of new program models, 

the Committee directs BBG to include in the CBJ an assessment 

of the effectiveness of the new programs as compared with existing 

programs. The Committee does not support the proposed BBG digital media development initiative. 

North Korea.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$8,960,000 for international broadcasting to North Korea. 

Proposed Reductions.—The Committee does not support the following reductions and terminations proposed by BBG and includes 

adequate funding to sustain current levels: reductions to staffing, 

broadcast hours, and original program hours of VOA and RFA East 

and Southeast Asia services, including Mandarin and Tibetan; discontinuation of VOA Cantonese broadcasts; closing of the BBG Poro 

medium wave transmitting station; the consolidation and reorganization of VOA Central News and English Division; realignment 

of BBG shortwave and medium wave transmissions; reductions to 

staffing and radio broadcasts of VOA Georgian, VOA Turkish, and 

VOA Ashna; termination of radio broadcasts of RFE/RL Tartarstan, 

Bashkortostan, Avar, Chechen, and Circassian; and transition to 

Russian-language broadcasts to the North Caucasus. The Committee supports the proposed reduction in TV Marti operating 

costs, including the termination of the Aeromarti contract, as long 

as such action will not reduce its current broadcast schedule of 166 

weekly hours. 
33 

Strategic Priorities.—The Committee is concerned that BBG’s 

broadcast priorities do not fully align with U.S. foreign policy priorities. For example, the fiscal year 2013 budget request reduces 

broadcasting to Asia at the same time the Secretary of State has 

called for expanding engagement with Asia, particularly East Asia. 

The Committee directs BBG to submit, not later than 180 days 

after enactment of this act, 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.

Budget estimate, 2013 ........................................................................... 104,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 236,000,000 

The Committee recommends $236,000,000 for the National Endowment for Democracy, of which $200,000,000 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 2013 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. The Committee notes the vision of President Ronald 

Reagan in the creation of the NED. 

Additional funds above the budget request are recommended for 

programs in the following countries:

Development Leadership Initiative.—The Committee continues to 

support USAID’s DLI program and recommends adequate funding 

for additional DLI participants in fiscal year 2013, including for 

space expansion and lease costs. 

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 

$25,000,000 for this initiative. The Committee recognizes the need 

to protect taxpayer dollars from waste and fraud, and at the same 

time curtail practices that are inefficient, more costly, and 

unsustainable. USAID’s Implementation and 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 urges USAID to continue its reform efforts by reducing 

reliance on large, inflexible contracts and working more directly 

with local governments and civil society to build capacity and develop sustainable programs in a transparent and accountable manner. 

The USAID Administrator is directed to submit a report to the 

Committee, not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, 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; 

—any anticipated reduction in assistance through U.S. partners; 

and 

—potential cost savings. 

Direct Government-to-Government Assistance.—The Committee 

clarifies, in section 7031(a), the application of the notification requirement required for direct government-to-government assistance. The threshold for notification, the purpose of which is to ex-
38 

plain 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 

in future funding years of the program unless future year obligations result in a cumulative value in excess of $50,000,000 and the 

program was not notified prior to the initial obligation of funds. 

Partnerships and Unsolicited Proposals.—The Committee supports efforts by USAID and the Department of State to build partnerships with United States academic institutions and others in 

the private sector to design and implement assistance programs 

and leverage additional resources. However, it is difficult for such 

entities to navigate multiple Web sites to locate useful information 

about new partnership opportunities, and meetings about unsolicited project ideas with Department and USAID officials are often 

frustrating and unproductive. The Committee directs USAID and 

the Department of State to clearly indicate on their Web site home 

pages, and on their home pages for each country, detailed information on partnership opportunities, by sector, and procedures for 

submitting unsolicited proposals. 

Recruitment of Veterans.—The Committee directs the USAID Administrator to report to the Committee the number of veterans currently employed by USAID to include direct hires and personal 

service contractors. The report should include hiring trend data 

and steps USAID is taking to recruit and hire veterans. The Committee recognizes that GAO is conducting a governmentwide investigation on veteran hiring practices. 

Recruitment Strategy.—Not later than 45 days after enactment of 

this act, the USAID Administrator shall report to the Committee 

on the extent to which USAID implemented the recruitment strategy referenced in section 7059(l) of division H of Public Law 111– 

8. 

Training.—Since fiscal year 2008, 820 new foreign service officers were hired by USAID through the Development Leadership 

Initiative to improve its technical and managerial capacity, during 

which time many middle and senior level staff retired. The Committee recognizes and supports the training role former USAID employees can provide, and encourages the USAID Administrator to 

utilize such training for direct-hire staff.

DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES

The Committee notes that for fiscal years 2009 through 2012 the 

Congress appropriated a total of approximately $36,835,160,000 for 

the administration’s three key development initiatives, including 

$31,241,400,000 for the GHI, $2,538,100,000 for the GCCI, and 

$3,055,600,000 for FtF through the Departments of State and the 

Treasury, and USAID. The Committee directs the Secretary of 

State, USAID Administrator, and the Secretary of the Treasury, as 

appropriate, after consultation with the Committee, to submit to a 

report on obligations and expenditures for each such initiative on 

a quarterly basis.

Total, GHP ............................................................................................................................................. 8,478,968 

MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH

The Committee recommends $678,968,000 for maternal and child 

health activities under this heading. The Committee supports 

USAID’s Child Survival Call to Action program, which seeks to collaborate with other donors and partners to end preventable child 

deaths, including over 7 million children under the age of 5 annually. 

Midwifery.—The Committee supports continued funding for 

USAID’s efforts to promote the training of local healthcare providers as midwives to assist women in avoiding and addressing 

pregnancy complications and reducing maternal and child mortality. 

Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus.—The Committee recognizes the 

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

preventing tetanus in newborn children, encourages public-private 

partnerships to deliver such vaccines, and urges USAID to support 

efforts to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. 

Pediatric Screening.—USAID should consider support for mobile 

outreach programs to expand and improve access to pediatric eye 

screening for children in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza 

in a manner that delivers the maximum amount of funds to the 

field. 

Polio.—The Committee recommends not less than $40,000,000 

for polio eradication efforts, including $35,500,000 under this heading and $4,500,000 under the ESF heading for programs in Pakistan and Afghanistan. 

Uterine Prolapse.—The Committee continues to support efforts to 

prevent and treat uterine prolapse in Nepal. 
41 

Vaccines and Immunization.—The Committee recommends 

$145,000,000 for the GAVI Alliance. 

Vulnerable Children.—The Committee recommends $23,000,000 

for programs and activities to address the needs of vulnerable children, of which not less than $3,500,000 is for assistance for blind 

children. USAID should administer programs in a manner that delivers the maximum amount of funds to the field, and also consider 

support for cleft lip and cleft palate surgery. 

The Committee directs USAID’s Displaced Children and Orphans 

Fund to provide up to $4,500,000 to continue implementing model 

programs for technical assistance for governments to assess the 

needs and number of children living outside of family care and 

progress made in placing them in safe and stable families. The 

head of the DCOF is directed to consult with the Committee prior 

to the obligation of funds. 

NUTRITION

The Committee recommends $122,000,000 for nutrition programs 

under this heading, to be made available through USAID. The 

Committee recognizes that long-term effects of malnutrition can include poorer health, learning and productivity limitations, and 

stunted brain development, among other problems. The Committee 

encourages USAID to give particular attention to the nutritional 

needs of pregnant women and children, particularly from birth to 

age 2. 

Micronutrients.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$33,500,000 for micronutrients, of which not less than $23,000,000 

is to address vitamin A deficiencies. The Committee recommends 

that nutrition programs, including micronutrients, also be included 

within the funds appropriated to the Department of State and 

USAID for programs to combat HIV/AIDS. 

The Committee recommends not less than $2,500,000 for the 

USAID/UNICEF IDD program to prevent mental retardation in 

children. 

FAMILY PLANNING/REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

The Committee recommends a total of $700,000,000 from all accounts in this act for family planning and reproductive health programs, including $600,000,000 under this heading, $55,500,000 

under the ESF heading, and $44,500,000 for UNFPA. 

HIV/AIDS

The Committee recommends a total of $5,900,000,000 for programs and activities to combat HIV/AIDS, of which $5,550,000,000 

is for the Department of State and $350,000,000 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. 

The Committee supports efforts by the Global Fund to implement 

reforms contained in its Consolidated Transformation Plan, including recommendations by the High-Level Panel for Fiduciary Oversight to reform fiduciary controls and the overall business model of 

the Global Fund. OGAC is directed to consult with the Committee 
42 

on implementation of such reforms, and on progress in implementing the strategic grant-making model in the 5-year strategy 

adopted at the 25th Board Meeting of the Global Fund. 

Media Programs.—The Committee notes that independent media 

can play an effective role in combating HIV/AIDS through accurate 

and unbiased coverage of the causes and appropriate public responses. 

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

Mother-to-Child Transmission.—The Committee encourages 

OGAC to expand prevention of mother-to-child transmission programs in support of the goal of eliminating new pediatric HIV infections by 2015. The Committee supports efforts to reach women 

in rural settings, to improve the ability of programs to provide 

more effective drug regimens, and to encourage stronger linkages 

between mother-to-child and care and treatment programs. 

Operations Research.—The Committee recommends that OGAC 

continue to invest in implementation research, including operations 

research and impact evaluation. 

PEPFAR.—The Committee recognizes that PEPFAR plays a key 

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

not support the reduction in the budget request for PEPFAR at this 

time. 

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

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

South Africa. 

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

contribution to UNAIDS. 

INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Malaria.—The Committee recommends $670,000,000 for programs to combat malaria, and encourages USAID to support research, 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 a malaria 

vaccine. 

The Committee supports the work of institutions of higher learning in addressing the health, economic, and security impacts of malaria and other parasitic diseases, and in seeking improvements in 

Federal Drug Administration-approved drugs for malaria prevention. 

Neglected Tropical Diseases.—The Committee recommends 

$125,000,000 for USAID’s NTD program to eliminate intestinal 
43 

parasites, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, trachoma, and leprosy which afflict hundreds of millions of people in 

tropical countries. 

Tuberculosis.—The Committee recommends $285,000,000 for programs to combat tuberculosis. The Committee recommends additional funding for MDR–TB detection, treatment, and prevention, 

including for assistance for countries in Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia. 

DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2012 ............................................................................. $2,519,950,000 

Budget estimate, 2013 ........................................................................... 2,525,500,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 3,050,000,000 

The Committee recommends $3,050,000,000 for Development Assistance. 

PROGRAMS

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY

The Committee recommends $1,200,000,000 for FtF from all accounts in this act. The Committee recognizes that the economies of 

many developing countries have strong agricultural foundations 

and supports USAID’s efforts to expand programs, particularly in 

Africa and in coordination with other donors, to address the root 

causes of hunger, malnutrition, and poverty through FtF. 

The Committee includes section 7059(a)(2)(E) to strengthen and 

expand the integration of 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. 

Collaborative Research Support Programs.—The Committee recommends not less than $32,000,000 for CRSPs, and supports efforts to improve agricultural productivity, nutritional quality and 

security, and innovative research in efforts 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 

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

Nutrition.—The Committee recommends that USAID re-evaluate 

the FtF indicators to include micronutrient deficiencies, to ensure 

that appropriate emphasis is given to the nutritional quality of 

food, as well as to agricultural productivity and marketing. 

Sustainable Intensification.—The Committee recommends that 

USAID consider support for sustainable intensification strategies 

that boost agricultural productivity and increase water use efficiency on small farms and the availability of water for household 

use, including through conservation tillage. 
44 

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

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

play in overseas programs as a means to lift people out of poverty 

by mobilizing equity and savings for community-based economic 

growth. The Committee recommends not less than $10,000,000 for 

USAID’s Cooperative Development Program within the Office of 

Private and Voluntary Cooperation. 

Microenterprise and Microfinance Development Programs.—The 

Committee recommends $265,000,000 in this act for microfinance 

and microenterprise development programs. The Committee notes 

that USAID has not met the requirement of section 251(c) of the 

FAA to target 50 percent of all microfinance and microenterprise 

funds to the very poor. USAID is directed to consult further with 

the Committee and other interested stakeholders on ways to maximize the use of microenterprise and microfinance assistance to benefit the poorest, most vulnerable people. 

EDUCATION

Basic Education.—The Committee recommends up to 

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

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

training for adults and out-of-school youth. Basic education is a key 

component of human development and the Committee directs 

USAID to consult with stakeholders, particularly local NGOs, during implementation of the new education strategy to sustain 

progress in basic education programs. 

Higher Education.—The Committee recommends $215,000,000 in 

this act for higher education programs, including $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. Partnerships should be selected through an open, competitive process, and focus on fields that are key to development such 

as agriculture, environment and natural resources, engineering, 

science and technology, health, education and teacher training, 

public administration, and business. 

American Schools and Hospitals Abroad Program.—The Committee recommends $23,000,000 for the ASHA program, and intends that USAID will allocate funds under similar terms and conditions as in prior fiscal years. ASHA proposals shall be considered 

in full and open competition and in accordance with all applicable 

rules and regulations. 

ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY

The Committee recommends not less than $1,155,000,000 in this 

act for bilateral and multilateral environment and energy programs. Funds for bilateral programs are allocated according to the 

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

this act:

Funds for environment and energy programs should be used to 

help developing countries reduce greenhouse gas emissions; develop 

renewable energy and increase end-use energy efficiency; adapt to 

rising temperatures; address water and food scarcity, and rising 

sea levels; protect tropical forests, endangered species, and other 

biodiversity; and implement policies for the transparent and sustainable use of natural resources. 

Adaptation.—The Committee recommends $190,000,000 for programs to assist developing countries adapt to climate change hazards, including decreases in agricultural productivity, water scarcity, and rising sea levels. 

Sustainable Landscapes/Biodiversity.—The Committee recommends $113,000,000 in this act for programs to protect sustainable landscapes, and an additional $200,000,000 for biodiversity 

conservation programs, including $2,000,000 to implement and enforce the Lacey Act (section 8204 of Public Law 110–246), 

$20,000,000 for the Initiative for Conservation in the Andean Amazon, and $10,000,000 for the Brazilian Amazon, with a priority on 

strengthening the capacity of indigenous organizations to protect 

tropical forests and biodiversity. The Committee also recommends 

$1,500,000 for continued USFS monitoring of forest degradation in 

Brazil, to be matched with contributions from the Government of 

Brazil. 

The Committee recommends not less than $25,000,000 for the 

Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment, including 

not less than $11,500,000 apportioned directly to the USFWS. The 

Committee emphasizes that CARPE’s success depends on building 

the capacity of the Central African governments 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 an effective 

force for wildlife conservation and park management. Buy-in by 

governments, in coordination with other implementing partners, is 

necessary for the comprehensive and sustainable program that 

CARPE needs to become. 

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

the Department of the Interior for biodiversity and archaeological 
46 

conservation activities in Guatemala’s Mayan Biosphere Reserve, 

to include governance and law enforcement. The Committee recommends not less than $10,000,000 for other 

U.S. international conservation programs administered by the 

USFWS, the USFS, the National Park Service, and the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Committee recommends funding to protect great apes in Indonesia and Central 

Africa, and wildlife in South Sudan and Niger. 

The Committee is concerned with the continuing loss of tropical 

forests that are habitat for many endangered species, particularly 

in the Amazon Basin, Central America, Central Africa, and Indonesia. Much of this is due to illegal logging in which government 

officials are often complicit, and to industrial scale logging that is 

unsustainable and opens up these areas to further development 

and environmental degradation. The Committee does not support 

the use of funds to support or promote industrial scale logging in 

areas of tropical forest where such logging has not occurred previously. 

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 technologies and energy efficiency technologies, and to support other efforts to reduce, 

mitigate, and/or sequester emissions of greenhouse gases. 

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, including in Haiti. 

Extractive Industries.—The Committee directs the Secretary of 

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

enactment of this act, describing, for each international financial 

institution, the amount and type of assistance provided, by country, 

for the extraction and export of oil, gas, coal, timber, or other natural resources in the preceding 12 months, and whether each institution considered, in its proposal for such assistance, the extent to 

which the country has functioning systems described in section 

7060(c)(6)(B)(i) of this act. 

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 as many as 11 dams on the Lower Mekong and 

dozens more on the river’s tributaries. As the Mekong River Commission intends to conduct a study on the cumulative implications 

of these hydropower projects, the Committee recommends a U.S. 

contribution to the Commission for this purpose. 

Oceans.—The Committee is aware that emissions from fossil 

fuels and deforestation is changing the acidity of the ocean in ways 

that threaten fish and other ocean species on which many humans 
47 

depend for survival. The Committee expects the Departments of 

State and the Treasury to coordinate with NOAA on the uses of 

funds for environment programs. 

Report.—The Committee directs the administration to update the 

report required by section 425 of division E of Public Law 112–74 

for funds appropriated by this act in fiscal year 2013. 

GENDER PROGRAMS

The Committee recognizes that the world’s most pressing economic and political problems cannot be solved without the equal 

participation of women, and deplores the repression of women and 

girls, often enshrined in law, in many developing countries including some that are allies of the United States. Women and girls are 

not only denied equal educational and economic opportunities, they 

are woefully underrepresented in leadership positions in government. And they continue to be subjected to humiliating, physically 

debilitating, and discriminatory practices based on cultural or religious practices that are centuries old. 

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 United States diplomatic and development efforts 

on raising the status, increasing participation, and protecting the 

rights of women and girls worldwide. The Committee recommends not less than $1,650,000,000 in this 

act for gender programs. Of this amount, not less than $50,000,000 

is for programs to promote women’s political leadership, not less 

than $150,000,000 is for programs to support a multiyear strategy 

to respond to gender-based violence, and not less than $50,000,000 

is to support a multiyear strategy to implement the United States 

National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security. 

The Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues and 

USAID’s Senior Coordinator for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment are directed to jointly report to the Committee on steps 

taken to implement gender integration and promote women’s economic and political empowerment, including through USAID’s Gender Equality and Female Empowerment Policy. 

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

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

in consultation with the Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s 

Issues and USAID’s Senior Coordinator for Gender Equality and 

Women’s Empowerment to support diplomatic efforts and assistance programs to prevent child marriage in countries where there 

is high prevalence. 

Development Innovation Ventures.—The Committee recommends 

the budget request for DIV. 

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 public dissemination of digital information to individuals with disabilities 
48 

and disabled people’s organizations in developing countries, 

through accessible technologies not dependent on the Internet, to 

promote inclusion and integration in education, employment, housing, transportation, and the political process. The Committee recommends $1,000,000 to develop, support, and 

strengthen sports programs for people with disabilities in developing countries. 

The Committee is concerned with reports that USAID assistance 

for Georgia resulted in the improper segregation of children and 

adults with disabilities during a period in which the Government 

of Georgia adopted a policy of deinstitutionalization for children. 

The Committee directs USAID to rigorously implement its Disability Policy, which calls for community integration and full participation in society of people with disabilities, and ensure that 

USAID staff is properly trained. The Committee further directs 

USAID to work with Georgian officials, service providers, and disabled people’s organizations to develop and implement a plan for 

the community integration of children and adults with disabilities 

who are in institutional settings. 

The Committee supports continued funding for the Global Disability Rights Library to: 

—increase distribution of the GDRL in developing countries; 

—provide access to digital content and assistive technology for 

individuals with visual disabilities; and 

—provide technical assistance and support to individuals with 

disabilities. 

The Committee recommends that USAID continue current practice that at least 25 percent of USAID foreign mission funds for 

these purposes be disbursed in small grants. 

The Committee also supports USAID’s accessibility requirements 

for construction projects. 

Faith-Based Organizations.—The Committee notes the important 

role that faith-based organizations play in the delivery of foreign 

assistance and expects USAID to comply with Federal laws protecting the rights of FBOs related to competing for and administering projects funded with United States foreign assistance. 

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, and extractive industries. These and other development activities, which often occur without adequate consultation with indigenous people, can impact their cultures in profoundly negative 

ways. The Committee urges the appointment at USAID of an Advisor for Indigenous Peoples Issues to ensure that U.S. policies and 

programs give proper attention to the interests and rights of indigenous people in developing countries. 

Judicial Reform.—The Committee supports the use of funds 

under this heading and the ESF and INCLE headings for judicial 

reform as an important component of rule of law programs, particularly in developing and post-conflict countries where governments and civil society demonstrate a commitment to reform, including transparency and accountability. 

Partner Vetting.—The Committee supports a partner vetting system that safeguards against the inadvertent disbursement of funds 
49 

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 that play an 

indispensible role in implementing U.S. assistance programs. 

The Committee understands that the Department of State and 

USAID will finalize the design of a pilot PVS by September 30, 

2012, and requests to be consulted following its completion. 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 when 

vetting would substantially delay response to humanitarian crises. 

The Committee expects that other Federal agencies conducting foreign assistance programs, including for security sector reform, will 

employ vetting procedures similar to those devised by USAID and 

the Department of State. 

Patrick Leahy War Victims Fund.—The Committee recommends 

$13,000,000 for the LWVF, administered by USAID, which assists 

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

Victims of Torture.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$11,500,000 for programs and activities that address the needs of 

victims of torture and trauma resulting from violent conflict. The 

Committee recommends support for centers for victims of torture 

that provide services consistent with the goals of Public Law 106– 

87. An additional $7,000,000 is recommended for the U.N. Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture under the IO&P account. 

Water and Sanitation.—The Committee is aware that water 

shortages, already severe in many regions, are projected to worsen 

significantly in coming decades due to rising populations, climate 

change, and poor resource management. The Committee recommends not less than $400,000,000 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 pose 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. 

The Committee recognizes USAID’s efforts to help achieve the 

MDG to halve the number of people without sustainable access to 

safe drinking water ahead of the target date. The Committee is 

concerned, however, that the MDG for improving access to sanitation services is unlikely to be met, and USAID is directed to increase funding for this purpose. 

Wheelchairs.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for wheelchair programs in developing countries, which should be allocated 

through an open and competitive process based on merit. The Committee supports funding that provides quality, low-cost wheelchairs 

that can be produced and maintained locally using appropriate 

technologies. 
50 

COUNTRIES

Ecuador.—The Committee is concerned with the extensive oil 

contamination of land and water in Northeastern Ecuador which 

poses grave health risks for the local population. The Committee 

recommends $500,000 for rainwater collection or other access to 

safe water for local residents, and to assist in providing local diagnosis and treatment for chronic illnesses resulting from such contamination. 

Indonesia.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$115,000,000 for assistance for Indonesia, of which not less than 

$400,000 is for grants for capacity building of Indonesian human 

rights organizations, including in Papua. The Committee is concerned with religious intolerance and attacks against religious minorities in Indonesia, and urges the Government of Indonesia to investigate these crimes and punish those responsible. 

Morocco.—The Committee notes that funds made available under 

title III of this act for Morocco may be used in regions and territories administered by Morocco. 

Nepal.—The Committee recommends not less than $15,000,000 

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. 

Philippines.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$89,000,000 for assistance for the Philippines. 

Rwanda and Uganda.—The Committee recommends support for 

local and international NGOs to conduct oversight of the conflict 

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

The Committee is 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 encourage the Government of Uganda to commit to transparency in the management 

of oil revenues and bidding process, including public disclosure of 

documents, in accordance with section 7031(b) of this act. 

Senegal.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report, not later than 45 days after enactment of this act, on 

steps taken by the Government of Senegal to assist in bringing 

Hissene Habre to justice.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,250,000,000 

The Committee recommends $1,250,000,000 for International 

Disaster Assistance. 

Crisis Response.—The Committee directs the Secretary of the 

Treasury, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the 

USAID Administrator, after consultation with the Committee, to 

submit a report detailing current OFAC guidelines and policies regarding humanitarian access to areas controlled by sanctioned entities, including current timelines for granting licenses; OFAC mechanisms for responding to crisis early warning; parameters of the 

OFAC license for Somalia in 2011; and recommendations for how 
51 

such guidelines and policies can be modified to streamline the process and enable humanitarian organizations to respond in a timely 

and effective manner when crises occur. 

Somalia.—The Committee is concerned with the slow response to 

the 2011 famine in Somalia, the ongoing extreme vulnerability of 

the Somali population, and credible reports of corruption and 

human rights violations by the Somalia Transitional Federal Government. Assistance for the STFG should be subject to financial 

transparency controls and respect for human rights, and the Department of State and USAID should closely monitor the Famine 

Early Warning System and other credible reports in order to respond in a timely manner to future crises. 

The Committee directs the USAID Administrator to submit a report describing humanitarian and other assistance for Somali civilians in areas under de facto control of the al-Shabaab terrorist organization, to include current and future operational plans to deliver assistance, and detailing any policy or regulatory restrictions 

that limit USAID’s ability to deliver such assistance to needy civilians.

The Committee recommends a ceiling of $40,000,000 for funds 

that may be transferred from other programs in this title to the 
52 

Development Credit Program and recommends $8,200,000 for administrative expenses. 

The Committee continues to support programs that leverage private financing for development activities, particularly through 

DCA. The Committee supports the recent deployment of experienced Field Investment Officers to regional USAID missions, to enable USAID to provide expertise on capital markets in field offices. 

ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2012 ............................................................................. $5,763,207,000

1Overseas contingency operations is funded under title VIII. 

The Committee recommends $4,524,332,000 for Economic Sup- port Fund, and an additional $600,000,000 in title VIII under this 

heading is designated for OCO. 

AFRICA

Africa Pilot Programs.—The Committee supports the empowerment of U.S. Ambassadors as Chief Executive Officers of multiagency missions abroad as outlined in the QDDR, and endorses the 

proposed activities by the Department of State to better inform 

agency personnel of their accountability to the Chief of Mission; improve Chief of Mission participation in interagency decisionmaking 

in Washington, DC; and enhance training and evaluation for Chiefs 

of Mission and Deputy Chiefs of Mission. 

However, the Committee recognizes that while nominally CEOs, 

ambassadors often exert little influence over how interagency funds 

are apportioned or reprogrammed. While they may be aware of potential challenges facing U.S. foreign policy long before Washington, ambassadors may be unable to quickly and effectively respond to such challenges through targeted assistance without significant bureaucratic maneuvering and/or approvals by various 

agencies and bureaus. In addition, in missions lacking one or more 

Commercial Service Officers assigned by the Department of Commerce, the responsibility for providing commercial services to U.S. 

private sector interests creates an increased burden for Foreign 

Service Officers and other Embassy personnel. 

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, the Committee establishes, in section 7089, 

pilot programs under Chief of Mission authority totaling 

$25,000,000. A cost-matching requirement is included to leverage 

support from host governments, multilateral organizations, and the 

private sector, to the maximum extent practicable. The Secretary 

of State is required to consult with the Committee on additional 

parameters for such pilot programs prior to the obligation of funds. 
53 

Democratic Republic of the Congo.—The Committee recommends 

not less than $25,000,000 to support a comprehensive strategy to 

demilitarize the mining sector in eastern Congo, enhance independent monitoring of the mining trade including a regional certification scheme for the Great Lakes region of Africa, protect the 

rights of mine laborers, build local oversight and regulatory capacity, assist victims of sexual violence, and establish an Independent 

Mineral Supply Chain Auditor (within the Executive Secretariat of 

the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region) to combat 

the illicit trade in minerals. 

South Sudan.—The Committee supports not less than the budget 

request for South Sudan, including to increase budget transparency 

and accountability. The Committee is concerned with reports that 

NGOs and faith-based organizations are encountering difficulty in 

obtaining work permits from the Government of South Sudan for 

international staff who are needed to help implement and monitor 

United States assistance programs. 

EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

Assistance.—The Committee regrets that the budget request did 

not include additional funding for the East Asia and Pacific region 

above the fiscal year 2012 enacted level given the administration’s 

stated strategic pivot toward that region. In addition to funding 

levels for specific countries recommended under this heading, the 

Committee directs additional resources be made available above 

the budget request to meet strategic requirements in the region, including in Cambodia and Laos. Additional funds should also be provided under the NADR and FMF headings. 

Burma.—The Committee recommends up to $45,000,000 for assistance for Burma. The Committee recognizes changes underway 

in the country, but remains concerned with potential backsliding on 

the reforms achieved to date. The Committee underscores the imperative for a political solution to Burma’s myriad problems including the full participation of opposition political parties, particularly 

the National League for Democracy, and ethnic minorities. 

The Committee recommends that assistance for Burma, including along the Thai-Burma border, include programs for independent media activities. The Committee recommends assistance 

for Burmese groups located in Malaysia. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of the Treasury to take appropriate steps to ensure that any multilateral programs proposed 

for Burma take into consideration: 

—the economic, environmental and social impacts of such programs on indigenous populations; 

—the commitment of the Government of Burma to contribute to, 

and sustain, such programs, as appropriate; 

—the transparency and accountability of implementing organizations, including the establishment and implementation of safeguards against corruption and environmental degradation for 

programs related to the extraction of natural resources; and 

—the extent to which implementing organizations consult with 

affected communities. 

The Secretary shall consult with the Committee on any proposed 

project lending for Burma. The Committee is concerned with the 
54 

absence of transparency and accountability within the Government 

of Burma and its state-owned enterprises, particularly Myanmar 

Oil and Gas Enterprise. 

The Committee notes that section 570 of Public Law 104–208 

and section 5 of Public Law 108–61 require certain actions regarding Burma by the Secretary of the Treasury at international financial institutions. The Committee expects the Secretary to continue 

to implement such requirements until such time as the law is 

amended. 

Cambodia.—The Committee remains concerned with allegations 

of corruption and political interference within the Khmer Rouge 

Tribunal, and conditions a U.S. contribution to the KRT on a certification by the Secretary of State. 

The Committee remains concerned with the human rights situation in Cambodia, including the recent murder of activist Chut 

Wutty and continued repression of political activists. The Committee expects Embassy Phnom Penh to defend the rights of Cambodians to freedom of expression and association. 

Counterinfluence Programs.—The Committee recognizes the 

rapid expansion of PRC influence in the Africa, Asia, and South 

America regions, and the use of assistance by that country to influence decisions and actions of governments. The Committee notes 

that the PRC reportedly lent more money to the developing world 

than the World Bank in 2009 and 2010, and in 2007 the PRC’s foreign economic aid totaled an estimated $25,000,000,000, which furthers PRC objectives to secure natural resources globally. 

The Committee includes a new provision, section 7044(f)(4), to 

counter the influence of such assistance, which is often targeted to 

weak central governments. Prior to the obligation of funds, the 

Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a strategy, in 

classified form if necessary, for the implementation of such programs, to include a description of assistance provided by the PRC 

to a central government, the objective of United States assistance, 

and benchmarks for measuring progress. 

People’s Republic of China.—The Committee recommends 

$15,000,000 under this heading for United States institutions of 

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

and environment programs in the PRC. These programs support 

training for Chinese activists, lawyers, and other individuals on 

key issues including criminal justice reform, occupational health 

and safety, corruption, and pollution abatement. Funds should be 

awarded on a competitive basis. 

Republic of Korea.—The Committee is aware that the Department of State is currently consulting with the Government of 

Korea to allow the importation of United States-made M1 Garand 

rifles into the United States from the Republic of Korea. These firearms were used in World War II and Korea and played an important role in America’s military history. These firearms have historical value as collector’s items and should be transferred back to the 

United States under existing laws that permit their re-importation. 

The Committee encourages the Department to move forward in finalizing an arrangement to facilitate the retransfer of these firearms. 
55 

Tibet.—The Committee recommends not less than $8,000,000 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 

competitively. 

Timor-Leste.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$1,000,000 for higher education scholarships in Timor-Leste. 

Vietnam.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$20,000,000 for site analysis and environmental remediation of 

dioxin contamination at the Bien Hoa and Phu Cat hot spots, and 

not less than $5,000,000 under the GHP heading for disability surveys, monitoring, and related health activities in areas that were 

heavily sprayed with Agent Orange or are otherwise contaminated 

with dioxin, for a total of $25,000,000 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. 

EUROPE AND EURASIA

Belarus.—The Committee recommends not less than $15,000,000 

for assistance for Belarus, including 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. 

Cyprus.—The Committee continues support for scholarships, 

bicommunal projects, and measures aimed at reunification, reducing tension and promoting peace and cooperation in Cyprus. Consultation with the Government of Cyprus should occur whenever 

practicable in the interest of transparency in the allocation of 

funds. The Committee intends that implementing organizations 

and the specific nature of the assistance shall not be subject to the 

prior approval of any foreign government. 

Ireland.—The Committee recommends the budget request 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 $7,000,000 for 

USAID programs to address immediate and long-term needs of conflict-affected populations in the North Caucasus. 

Roma.—The Committee remains concerned with reports of discrimination and violence against Roma in some European countries, and recommends assistance for organizations working to protect Roma. 

Russia.—The Committee recommends $500,000 for the USFS’s 

endangered species conservation programs in Russia. 

Turkmenistan.—The Committee remains concerned with the politically motivated detention of human rights activists, former government officials, and religious believers in Turkmenistan, and the 

lack of information from the Government of Turkmenistan about 
56 

these cases. The Committee recognizes the cooperation between 

Turkmenistan and the United States on regional security issues. 

Ukraine.—The Committee recommends $100,000 for USFS forest 

management programs in Ukraine. 

NEAR EAST

Egypt.—The Committee recommends $250,000,000 for assistance 

for Egypt. 

The Committee is concerned with discrimination and violence 

against women in Egypt, and supports funding for women NGOs 

and initiatives to protect the rights of women and girls. 

The Committee remains concerned with violence against Egypt’s 

religious minorities, including Coptic Christians. 

The Committee restricts assistance to the Government of Egypt 

unless the Secretary of State certifies that such government is 

meeting its obligations under the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty. 

This requirement also includes a national interest waiver. 

The Committee reduces assistance for Egypt under this heading 

by an amount equal to the amount posted as bail in February 2012 

for members of United States NGOs operating in Egypt. 

Jordan.—The Committee recommends $410,000,000 for assistance for Jordan, which is $50,000,000 above the budget request. 

The Committee intends the additional funds to be used to support 

social services in communities that have experienced a significant 

influx of Syrian refugees. 

Lebanon.—The Committee recommends $500,000 for continued 

support for the USFS’s forest and biodiversity conservation programs in Lebanon. 

The Committee recommends $12,000,000 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 meet as much 

of the cost of the education as possible in order to share the commitment to the future of Lebanon, to maximize the number of students who are assisted, and to minimize the cost per student to the 

American taxpayer. 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. 

The Committee also urges the Department of State to focus assistance for Lebanon on efforts that promote transparency, 

strengthen financial management, and improve efficiency of government institutions. 

Libya.—The Committee recommends funds be made available 

under this and the MENAIF headings for democracy and rule of 

law programs in Libya, to be provided on a cost-matching basis, as 

appropriate. The Committee continues restrictions on assistance for 

infrastructure projects in Libya. 

The Committee expects the Transitional National Council or any 

successor government to support and assist the continuing investigation into 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. 
57 

Near East Regional Democracy.—The Committee recommends 

not less than $30,000,000 for NERD programs. 

Tunisia.—The Committee recommends not less than $10,000,000 

for assistance for Tunisia, and includes language authorizing additional loan guarantees for Tunisia, the costs of which may be covered under the MENAIF heading. 

West Bank.—The Committee recommends the budget request for 

assistance for the West Bank. 

The Committee continues to support a GAO audit of all assistance provided under this heading for the bilateral West Bank program, including cash transfer assistance. Such audit shall include 

the extent to which such assistance complies with the requirements 

of subsections 7039 (b) and (c) of this act, and an examination of 

all programs, projects, and activities, including obligations and expenditures. 

The Committee recommends that the Department of State and 

USAID review programs in the West Bank, Gaza, and elsewhere in 

the Middle East and other regions, to ensure that no assistance is 

provided to any entity that promotes incitement of violence against 

the United States, Israel and Jews, or other ethnic and religious 

minorities. 

Yemen.—The Committee recommends not less than $38,000,000 

for assistance for Yemen, and recognizes that the security situation 

in Yemen has transitioned to an insurgency. In order to maximize 

the effectiveness of United States assistance, the Committee urges 

the administration to consider assistance and security programs 

within this changed context. 

SOUTH AND CENTRAL ASIA

Central Asian Republics.—The Committee reiterates the United 

States’ ongoing security interest in South and Central Asia, as articulated by the United States-Afghanistan Strategic Partnership 

Agreement. 

The Committee is concerned with the lack of English language 

proficiency in the Central Asian republics, recognizes that this impedes United States economic and security interests in the region, 

and directs the Secretary of State to provide to the Committee, not 

later than 180 days after enactment of this act, recommendations 

for expanding English language training in these countries. 

WESTERN HEMISPHERE

Assistance.—The Committee notes the daunting challenges facing 

many countries in Central and South America due to struggling 

economies and weak governmental institutions. In addition to funding levels for specific countries recommended under this heading, 

the Committee directs additional resources be made available 

above the budget request to strengthen democratic institutions, including professional and accountable police forces, and to address 

the causes of poverty in the region. Additional funds should also be 

provided under the DA and INCLE headings. 

CARSI.—The Committee recommends not less than the budget 

request for CARSI. 

Colombia.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$175,000,000 apportioned directly to USAID for alternative devel-
58 

opment/institution building and local governance programs in Colombia, including $7,500,000 for human rights activities. 

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

close consultation with such communities. The Committee is concerned with the rapid expansion of government sanctioned, as well 

as illegal, mining operations in or adjacent to these communities, 

and the resulting harmful social, environmental, and health impacts. In addition, these already marginalized communities have 

experienced increases in violence, including assassinations of social 

activists, as well as poverty and displacement. The Committee directs the Department of State and USAID to work with the Government of Colombia to address these issues as a priority. 

The Committee recommends not less than $3,000,000 for continued support for biodiversity conservation programs, and $500,000 

for community-based programs to address the needs of children disabled by landmines and other causes related to the violence. 

Haiti.—The Committee recommends not less than the budget request for Haiti, and 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 United States programs and plans. 

In order to obtain greater clarity and transparency regarding assistance for Haiti, not later than 180 days after enactment of this 

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

on United States-funded recovery and development efforts in Haiti, 

which shall also be posted on the Department of State’s Web site, 

to include: 

—an assessment of the overall progress of the Haiti Rebuilding 

and Development Strategy, including how the USAID Forward 

agenda will be incorporated into the Strategy, and any other 

significant modifications to the Strategy during the preceding 

6 months, with an explanation of such changes; 

—a description of the process by which State and USAID will establish time-bound goals and quantitative and qualitative indicators to evaluate the progress, achievement, and lack of 

achievement of efforts that comprise the Strategy; 

—a description of U.S. Government programs contributing to the 

Strategy, including the amounts obligated and expended on 

such programs during the preceding 12 months, and data on 

the use of local implementing partners at both prime and 

subprime levels and on the use of direct funding to local and 

State institutions; 

—a description of the extent to which the GoH and Haitian civil 

society and grassroots organizations have been consulted in the 

determination of such time-bound goals and in the design and 

implementation of new programs under the Strategy; 

—disaggregated data, where available and appropriate, by beneficiaries’ region, sector, gender, and age; 
59 

—a description of how consideration for vulnerable populations, 

including IDPs, women, children, orphans, and persons with 

disabilities, has been incorporated in all stages of the design 

and implementation of new programs; and 

—an assessment of the steps Haiti is taking to strengthen its capacity to receive individuals who are removed, excluded, or deported from the United States. 

The Committee directs USAID to consult with the Committee on 

plans and funding to implement the reforestration strategy commissioned after 2008 tropical storms, including to address vulnerable watersheds. 

The Committee also recommends funding for agriculture programs focused on staple crops, and public and private sector efforts 

to increase the availability of reliable, affordable electricity, including building the institutional capacity of the GoH to manage the 

electric grid. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to prioritize assistance to labor programs, particularly near the new Caracol Industrial Park, to assist the GoH to capitalize on U.S. trade preferences 

consistent with internationally recognized labor rights. 

Mexico.—The Committee recommends not less than $45,000,000 

for assistance for Mexico, including for additional economic development activities along the United States-Mexico border. 

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

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

implement programs to prevent diamonds from fueling conflict, including the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. The Committee is concerned with reports 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. 

Countering Violent Extremism.—The conferees recommend 

$10,500,000 under this heading for activities to counter violent extremism. 

Counterterrorism in Africa.—The Committee recommends 

$55,000,000 in this act for the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism 

Partnership program, and $25,000,000 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. 

The Committee encourages the Department of State and USAID 

to support programs in the Sahel region to support the needs of 

IDPs and durable solutions that prioritize resettlement of refugees 

from camps near Tindoug, Algeria. 

Debt Relief/Sudan.—The Committee includes authority to transfer up to $250,000,000 under this heading for debt restructuring for 

Sudan, subject to a certification by the Secretary of State. The 
60 

Committee intends that should the certification be impossible, such 

funds be used to address other development needs in Africa. 

Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.—The Committee 

recommends $5,000,000 to support the EITI, including to enhance 

the capacity of civil society organizations to participate in the EITI 

process. 

Middle East Partnership Initiative.—The Committee includes 

funding for MEPI under the MENAIF heading. 

Middle East Regional Cooperation Program.—The Committee 

recommends $5,000,000 for MERC. 

Reconciliation Programs.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$26,000,000 for reconciliation programs and activities which bring 

together and facilitate direct communication between individuals of 

different ethnic, religious and political backgrounds in countries affected by civil strife and war, of which $10,000,000 is for such programs and activities in the Middle East and North Africa region. 

Of this amount, $16,000,000 is provided under this heading and 

$10,000,000 is provided under the DA heading. Funds should be leveraged to secure contributions from other international donors, to 

the maximum extent practicable. 

The Committee also recommends funding for the ‘‘New Generation in the Middle East’’ initiative to build understanding, tolerance, and mutual respect among young Israelis and Palestinians of 

diverse economic and social backgrounds who have leadership potential. Such programs and activities are to be conducted in the region. 

War Crimes in Central Africa.—The Committee supports efforts 

by the United States, United Nations, African Union, and governments in Central Africa to capture Joseph Kony and top commanders of the LRA, and to assist victims of the LRA’s crimes. The 

Committee recommends $10,000,000 to implement Public Law 111– 

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

and to support the disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration 

of former LRA combatants, especially child soldiers. 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. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State, after consultation 

with the Secretary of Defense and the USAID Administrator, to 

submit a report detailing progress toward implementing the policy 

objectives in section 3 of Public Law 111–172, and a description of 

U.S. assistance provided for such purposes. Such report shall be 

submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex. 

DEMOCRACY FUND

Appropriations, 2012 ............................................................................. $114,770,000 

Budget estimate, 2013 ........................................................................... ........................... 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 230,000,000 

The Committee recommends $230,000,000 for Democracy Fund, 

of which $136,000,000 is for DRL’s Human Rights and Democracy 

Fund and $94,000,000 is for USAID’s Center of Excellence for Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance. The Committee notes 
61 

that the increase for the Democracy Fund is offset by an equivalent 

decrease in the fiscal year 2013 budget request for democracy programs. 

The Committee recognizes challenges in implementing democracy 

and human rights programs overseas, and that improved coordination and communication between DRL, USAID’s Center, and 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. 

Of the funds appropriated under this heading for the HRDF, an 

additional $3,000,000 is for the Fundamental Freedom Fund, an 

additional $3,000,000 is for the Global Human Rights Defenders 

Fund, and an additional $3,000,000 is for International Religious 

Freedom activities. Funds made available for the Business and 

Human Rights program in the PRC shall be matched by sources 

other than U.S. Government. 

Ethiopia.—The Committee remains concerned with the Government of Ethiopia’s repression of the media, political opposition, and 

civil society organizations and urges DRL and DCHA to support 

programs and organizations that promote freedom of expression, 

association, and assembly in Ethiopia as well as broadcasting into 

Ethiopia. 

Forensic Assistance.—The Committee recommends $1,500,000 for 

continued support for forensic anthropology programs in countries 

of Central and South America 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. 

Internet Freedom.—The Committee supports continued funding 

for the Department of State’s Internet freedom program and directs 

the Secretary of State to submit to the Committee, prior to the initial obligation of funds, a report detailing planned expenditures for 

this purpose. The Committee encourages continued coordination 

and cooperation between the Department of State, USAID, and 

BBG on the planning and implementation of programs. Funds shall 

be used to promote human rights by expanding open and uncensored access to information and communications, including mobile 

phones, through the Internet and other connection technologies, in 

accordance with the Department of State’s Internet freedom strategy. The Committee encourages the Department of State to include 

digital security, digital safety training, and secure communication 

technologies that can also rapidly respond to threats to safe and 

uncensored access to information and communication. The Committee directs the Department of State to continue to monitor protections against tools being used for illicit purposes, and expects 

the Department to inform the Committee of any concerns. 
62 

Labor Rights.—The Committee encourages DRL to expand programs that promote labor rights as a means of advancing American 

interests and values. DRL and USAID’s Center should continue to 

support economic reforms that guarantee decent working conditions and include working people in decisions that shape their future. 

Mexico.—The Committee notes that Mexican journalists and social activists have been increasingly threatened and assassinated, 

and recommends increased support for programs to protect them. 

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

seek to ensure that multilateral organizations, including the 

United Nations and the OSCE, are aware of the database established with funds appropriated under this heading. 

Prison Conditions.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$3,000,000 under this heading to eliminate inhumane prison conditions. The Committee is aware that millions of incarcerated people 

in the world suffer inhumane conditions in prisons and other detention facilities that are overcrowded, unsanitary, and unsafe. 

Rates of malnutrition, disease, and death among prisoners and 

other detainees far exceed those of the general population, and 

medical treatment is often grossly inadequate. Excessive pre-trial 

detention and dysfunctional, corrupt justice systems frequently result in prisoners and other detainees spending years in such conditions before their cases are adjudicated. Inadequate, misplaced, or 

lost records result in prisoners and detainees being incarcerated 

without trial indefinitely, or being held long after their sentences 

have expired. Eliminating such conditions would strengthen the 

rule of law, protect human rights, and save lives. 

Sudan.—The Committee encourages DRL to support democracy 

and human rights programs in Sudan. 

Women’s Political Participation.—The Committee directs that 

funds under this heading, and under the DA, ESF, MENAIF, and 

INCLE headings, be made available for programs to increase women’s participation in political processes, including political parties, 

elections, and leadership positions in local and national governments. Funds should be awarded on a competitive basis, and in accordance with section 7059 of this act. 

MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA INCENTIVE FUND

Appropriations, 2012 ............................................................................. ........................... 

Budget estimate, 2013 ........................................................................... $770,000,000 

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

The Committee recommends $1,000,000,000 for the Middle East 

and North Africa Incentive Fund, a new account that will provide 

the Department of State and USAID necessary flexibility to respond to unpredictable events arising from popular demands for 

economic and political reforms in those regions. The Committee 

recognizes the historic and unprecedented opportunities for change, 

and underscores that the administration’s strong and consistent 

support for these reforms will further U.S. security interests in 

strategically important regions. In addition, this new account may 

prove essential in assisting key regional allies should tensions in 

the Middle East, particularly with Iran and in Syria, continue to 

heighten. 
63 

The Committee recommends $70,000,000 for MEPI from within 

this fund, of which not less than $15,000,000 should be for scholarships for students at not-for-profit educational institutions, in a 

manner consistent with prior fiscal years, through an open and 

competitive process. 

The Committee requires the Secretary of State and USAID Administrator to consult with the Committee prior to the initial obligation of funds, and intends that the design, implementation, and 

oversight of programs will include the participation of civil society 

organizations in these countries, as appropriate. 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

MIGRATION AND REFUGEE ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2012 ............................................................................. $1,868,100,000 

Budget estimate, 2013 ........................................................................... 1,625,400,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,300,000,000 

The Committee recommends $2,300,000,000 for Migration and 

Refugee Assistance. 

The Committee is aware of the increasingly complex refugee and 

IDP crises arising from conflict and instability in Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, and Mali, and notes the destabilizing impact of such 

crises on neighboring countries and United States allies, including 

Jordan. The Committee recognizes the need to address instability 

arising from human migration in the Pan Sahel and Horn of Africa 

regions and to mitigate opportunities for the expansion of extremist 

groups, including al Qaeda affiliates. The Committee underscores 

that assistance provided under this heading should be incorporated 

into a broader strategy to address terrorism in Africa that includes 

programs to expand governance, economic development, and security. 

The Committee is also aware of the ongoing needs of refugees 

and IDPs in the East Asia and Pacific and Western Hemisphere regions. 

Afghanistan.—The Committee urges the Department of State 

and USAID to work with the GoA to prioritize assistance for conflict-affected and highly vulnerable Afghans through disaster risk 

reduction, food security, livelihoods, and other basic service delivery programs. 

Burma.—The Committee urges the Department of State to continue to engage with the Governments of India, Thailand and Malaysia, and the European Union, to address the needs of Burmese 

refugees. 

Colombia.—The Committee does not support the decrease in the 

budget request for refugees and IDPs in the Western Hemisphere, 

and recommends funding under this heading for increased assistance for Colombian IDPs and refugees. 

Ethiopia.—The Committee is concerned that Ethiopia’s Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs, which receives most of its 

budget from UNHCR, has been restricting access and activities of 

humanitarian organizations in refugee camps, sites, and areas of 

new refugee arrivals and lacks the capacity to implement effective 

programs in some sectors. The Committee supports efforts by 

UNHCR to strengthen oversight of ARRA’s management and the 
64 

welfare of refugees, particularly in the Dollo Ado camps along the 

Somali border. 

Iraq.—The Committee notes that Iraqis who are being threatened or targeted for assassination as a result of having worked for 

the U.S. Government or U.S. contractors are facing long delays in 

obtaining admission to the United States as refugees, and the number of Iraqi refugees resettled in the United States has fallen 

sharply since fiscal year 2010. The Committee is aware that security concerns require thorough screening of these individuals, and 

expects the administration to make every effort to expedite refugee 

resettlement of the most vulnerable and maximize the use of Special Immigrant Visa processing while maintaining an effective 

screening process. The Committee is also concerned that some 1.5 

million Iraqis remain displaced and in need of continuing assistance. The Committee expects the Department of State to continue 

to work to address the needs of Iraqi refugees and IDPs. 

Israel.—The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for refugee resettlement in Israel, to be awarded through an open and competitive process. 

North Korea.—The Committee supports funding to assist North 

Korean refugees, including in the PRC. The Committee condemns 

the forced repatration of North Korean refugees by the PRC, and 

supports the involvement of UNHCR and other international humanitarian agencies in protecting the rights of such refugees. 

Pakistan.—The Committee is aware that, according to the Internally Displaced Persons Vulnerability Assessment and Profiling 

[IVAP] mechanism funded by USAID and supported by the GoP 

and the United Nations, many families who are displaced as a result of the armed conflict are not registered to receive humanitarian aid. The Committee understands that this has resulted from 

flaws in the IDP registration system. The Committee emphasizes 

that United States funding shall be used to aid Pakistanis who are 

most in need, and directs the Department of State and USAID to 

ensure that conflict-affected IDPs receiving aid are those identified 

by IVAP. 

Protracted Refugee Situations.—The Committee recognizes that 

many large refugee populations, including Burmese, Somalis, Sudanese, Afghans, Bhutanese, Palestinians, and others have been unable to return home for generations. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report 

to the Committee not later than one year after enactment of this 

act, indicating: 

(a) the approximate number of people who, in the past year, 

have received UNRWA services— 

(1) whose place of residence was Palestine between June 

1946 and May 1948 and who were displaced as a result of 

the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict; and 

(2) who are descendants of persons described in subparagraph (1); 

(b) the extent to which the provision of such services to such 

persons furthers the security interests of the United States and 

of other United States allies in the Middle East; and 

(c) the methodology and challenges in preparing such report. 
65 

Resettlement.—The Committee is concerned with the many formidable challenges facing refugees who have recently resettled in the 

United States, including cultural and language barriers, the rising 

cost of living, and limited affordable housing and employment opportunities. Local U.S. refugee assistance agencies are also 

stretched for resources, and the Committee urges PRM to take 

steps to address the financial needs of these newly resettled individuals and families. 

The Committee is also concerned that an increasing number of 

refugees resettling in the United States are experiencing difficulty 

repaying their travel loans, which sometimes results in credit impairment, despite available support to modify their repayment conditions. To ensure that refuges are aware of the support available, 

not later than 180 days after the enactment of this act the Secretary of State shall publish on the Department of State’s Web site 

information on the loan repayment process for the Department’s 

transportation loan program for refugees, including the process for 

requesting modifications to the loan repayment agreement such as 

an extension of time for repayment. 

Syria.—The Committee urges the Department of State and 

USAID to continue working with humanitarian organizations and 

Syria’s neighbors to keep borders open to Syrians fleeing violence, 

provide access to basic services, and ensure their freedom of movement and the use of camps only as a last resort. 

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 some 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. 

UNITED STATES EMERGENCY REFUGEE AND MIGRATION ASSISTANCE

The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for United States 

Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund. 

INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

PEACE CORPS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2012 ............................................................................. $375,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2013 ........................................................................... 374,500,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 400,000,000 

The Committee recommends $400,000,000 for Peace Corps. 

The Committee supports the Peace Corps’ efforts to implement 

Public Law 112–57. 
66 

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 submit 

a report within 120 days of enactment of this act, 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. 

The Committee includes a cap on Peace Corps representation expenses of $100,000, and within this amount limits domestic representation expenses to $3,000. 

The Peace Corps Director is directed to submit a spending 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, 2012 ............................................................................. $898,200,000 

Budget estimate, 2013 ........................................................................... 898,200,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 898,200,000 

The Committee recommends $898,200,000 for Millennium Challenge Corporation. 

The Committee continues to support the MCC’s mission and appreciates the MCC’s responsiveness to its directions and concerns. 

While the MCC has served as an incentive for candidate countries 

to meet eligibility criteria and compacts have improved the lives of 

many, according to the GAO compacts have not always produced 

transformational changes envisioned and the sustainability of some 

MCC investments remains in question. The MCC has, with the 

concurrence of the Committee, suspended or terminated several 

compacts due to coups d’e ́tat and other governance issues. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State, the USAID Administrator, and the MCC CEO to jointly assess and report to the Committee, not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, on the 

extent to which compacts are aligned with U.S. strategic interests 

on a regional basis and with other Federal foreign 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 $31,000,000 for African Development Foundation. 

The Committee directs the president of the African Development 

Foundation to ensure that the Foundation’s policy on representation expenses is consistent with section 7020(a) of this act.

TITLE IV 

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ASSISTANCE 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

INTERNATIONAL NARCOTICS CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

Appropriations, 2012 ............................................................................. $2,044,705,000 

Budget estimate, 2013 ........................................................................... 2,506,502,000 

Enduring operations ....................................................................... 1,456,502,000 

Overseas contingency operations .................................................. 1,050,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,484,620,000 

The Committee recommends $1,484,620,000 for International 

Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to notify the Committee in writing, within 5 days of exercising authority allowing 
68 

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 continues support for CARSI and 

CBSI to address narcotics-related violence and corruption in Central America, with a focus on reform of judicial systems and professionalism of police forces. The Committee recognizes that the success of CARSI and CBSI programs depends on political support and 

leadership at the highest levels of Central American governments, 

including to hold corrupt officials accountable, and to protect 

judges, prosecutors, and witnesses. 

The Committee recommends that CARSI be used to establish 

Narcotics Affairs Sections at U.S. Embassies in El Salvador and 

other Central American countries, as appropriate. 

Central Asia Counternarcotics Initiative.—The Secretary of State 

is directed to consult with the Committee and other appropriate 

congressional committees prior to the initial obligation of funds for 

this initiative. 

Colombia.—The Committee recommends $145,000,000 for assistance for Colombia, including not less than $15,000,000 for the Office of the Colombian Attorney General, of which $7,500,000 is for 

the human rights unit. The Committee directs the Secretary of 

State to submit a report on rule of law programs in Colombia, including the amounts and uses of funds, efforts by the Government 

of Colombia to end impunity, an assessment of the results to date, 

and benchmarks for measuring progress. 

The Committee is aware of growing concerns with the effects of 

glyphosate-based herbicides on the environment and human health 

in areas where such herbicides are widely used in agriculture, and 

recent scientific studies linking low doses of glyphosate to abnormalities in amphibian and chicken embryos. Women exposed to 

GBH during pregnancy have reportedly given birth to children with 

congenital malformations. The Committee requires the Secretary of 

State to certify, prior to the obligation of funds, that the toxic 

chemicals sprayed by the Colombian police do not pose unreasonable risks or adverse effects to humans, including pregnant women 

and children, or the environment, including endemic species. 

As in past years, the Committee does not support funding for 

aerial spraying of GBH in Colombia’s national parks or reserves 

unless the Secretary of State reports in writing to the Committee, 

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 7090, 

Consular Notification Compliance, 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. This section was 

originally part of S. 1194, the Consular Notification Compliance 

Act of 2011. 

The Committee did not include in this bill the language found at 

section 3 of S. 1194, which set forth practical guidance for compli-
69 

ance with U.S. consular notification and access obligations, for two 

reasons. First, the Committee views that section as unnecessary 

because 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. Second, the Committee wants to encourage 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 also did not include the language found at section 4(a)(2) of 

S. 1194 that a Federal court grant a stay of execution if necessary 

to allow the court to review a petition filed under this section because Federal courts already have statutory authority to provide 

for a stay under such circumstances. 

In an effort to ensure the expeditious review of petitions and to 

conserve judicial resources, the Committee added several provisions 

that were absent from S. 1194. 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. Finally, in order to ensure the prompt 

resolution of these cases, the Committee included a one year time 

limitation on Federal court review from the date a petition is filed. 

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

International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala and 

supports the extension of CICIG’s mandate beyond 2013, as necessary. 

The Committee remains concerned with the lack of professional, 

accountable police forces in Guatemala and urges the Department 

of State to work with the Government of Guatemala and civil society to implement a police reform strategy. 

Indonesia.—The Committee recommends not less than 

$11,550,000 for assistance for Indonesia. 

International Law Enforcement Academies.—The Committee recommends the budget request for the ILEAs. 

Mexico.—The Committee recommends not less than $199,000,000 

for assistance for Mexico, and supports the prioritization of reform 

of national, state, and local judicial institutions and law enforcement, and cooperation between the United States and Mexico to 

combat organized crime and drug trafficking along the border. 

Philippines.—The Committee recommends $2,450,000 for assistance for the Philippines, which is equal to the budget request. 

Police Training.—The Committee is concerned that police training programs implemented by the Department of State have not always been suitably designed, effectively implemented, or sustainable, and urges the Department to conduct a rigorous review of 

these programs, utilizing outside experts as appropriate. 

Rule of Law Programs.—The Committee recommends funding for 

interagency rule of law training programs to improve the coordina-
70 

tion and content of such programs conducted overseas. Fund are to 

be awarded on a competitive basis, in consultation with DRL. 

Tunisia.—The Committee recommends $8,000,000 for assistance 

for Tunisia, which is equal to the budget request.

International Trust Fund for Demining and Mine Victims Assistance.—The Committee supports the expansion of ITF’s work in 

mine removal, mine victim assistance, and the proper storage and 

disposition of small arms/light weapons beyond Eastern Europe 

and Eurasia. 

Nonproliferation, Demining, and Anti-terrorism Opportunities.— 

The Committee recognizes that dynamic change in the Near East 

and ongoing threats and humanitarian needs in other regions afford opportunities to conduct and expand nonproliferation, 

demining, and anti-terrorism programs, including in Syria should 

the current regime fall. The Committee recommends additional 

funding above the budget request to accelerate the U.S. response 

to such opportunities, which is in the security interests of the 

United States and regional allies. 

UXO Clearance.—The Committee prioritizes the clearance of 

landmines and other unexploded ordnance in areas where such ordnance was caused by the United States, and directs that not less 

than $10,000,000 be made available for UXO clearance in Laos. 

The Committee also intends that funds be used for UXO clearance in locations in the Oceania region that have high concentrations of U.S. UXO from World War II.

MFO.—The Committee recommends $28,000,000 for the Multinational Force and Observers, including $2,000,000 to address force 

protection enhancements. The Committee expects the MFO to account for and apply funds in a manner such that the principle of 

equality of contributions to the basic operating budget between the 

United States, Egypt, and Israel shall be maintained. 

Somalia.—The Committee recommends up to $142,100,000 for 

UN assessed peacekeeping costs in Somalia.

INTERNATIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Appropriations, 2012 ............................................................................. $105,788,000 

Budget estimate, 2013 ........................................................................... 102,643,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 103,018,000 

The Committee recommends $103,018,000 for International Military Education and Training. 

The Committee is concerned that of the $38,944 spent in fiscal 

year 2011 on IMET representation expenses approximately 25 percent was used for items such as ball caps, coins, and tote bags. The 

Committee directs the Secretary of State to eliminate expenditures 

for these types of items. 

Ethiopia.—The Committee is concerned with the Government of 

Ethiopia’s use of anti-terrorism laws to imprison journalists, political opponents, and others calling for free and fair elections and 

basic rights. The Committee urges the Departments of State and 

Defense to apply a consistent policy to the Ethiopian military and 

police, who enforce the government’s repressive policies. 

Indonesia.—The Committee recommends $1,800,000 for assistance for Indonesia. 

Jordan.—The Committee recommends $3,800,000 for assistance 

for Jordan, which is equal to the budget request

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 5,849,820,000 

The Committee provides $5,849,820,000 for Foreign Military Financing Program. 

Colombia.—The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for assistance for Colombia, in accordance with the requirements of section 

7045(a)(2) 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: 

—the Colombian military is suspending those members, of whatever rank, who have been credibly alleged to have violated 

human rights, or to have aided, abetted or benefitted from 

criminal or illegal armed groups; all such cases are made subject only to civilian jurisdiction for all stages of the investigation and prosecution, and the Colombian military is not opposing civilian jurisdiction in such cases and is cooperating fully 

with civilian prosecutors and judicial authorities; 

—the Government of Colombia is not taking steps that could result in immunity from prosecution or the suspension of sentences for persons responsible for crimes against humanity, 

war crimes, or other gross violations of human rights; 
72 

—the Government of Colombia is dismantling paramilitary networks and their successor groups, including by arresting and 

prosecuting in civilian courts individuals who have aided, abetted, or benefitted from paramilitary organizations or other 

criminal or illegal armed groups; supporting investigations by 

civilian judicial authorities into links between public officials 

and paramilitary groups; and returning land and other assets 

illegally acquired by such organizations or their associates to 

their rightful occupants or owners; and 

—the Government of Colombia is taking steps to protect the 

rights of human rights defenders, journalists, trade unionists, 

IDP leaders, and other social activists, and respecting the 

rights and territory of indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities; and the Colombian military is implementing rigorous 

procedures to distinguish between civilians, including IDPs, 

and combatants, in their operations. 

Eastern and Central Europe.—The Committee recognizes the important contributions of NATO, including its newer members, to coalition operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere, and supports continued funding for such countries under this heading. 

Guatemala.—The Committee supports assistance for the Guatemalan coast guard, navy, and air force to enhance regional naval 

cooperation, maritime, and border security. The Committee is 

aware of several investigations and prosecutions of former army 

personnel for disappearances, torture, and extra-judicial executions 

during the internal armed conflict. The Committee will consider a 

future budget request for assistance for the army, if the army: 

—has a narrowly defined mission focused on border security and 

external threats, and a timetable for ending the army’s involvement in internal law enforcement; 

—is cooperating fully with civilian investigations and prosecutions of human rights cases involving current and retired military officers of whatever rank, 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. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State, after consultation 

with Guatemalan and international human rights organizations, to 

submit a report not later than 120 days after enactment of this act 

assessing the army’s progress in meeting each of the above requirements, detailing any additional steps the army should take, and 

identifying the quantitative and qualitative indicators used to 

measure progress. The report should also include: 

—the number of human rights cases in which military personnel 

have been prosecuted and appropriately punished, and the extent of the army’s cooperation in such cases; 

—the extent of military archival documents publicly disclosed by 

the army; and 

—the extent of the army’s involvement in internal law enforcement. 
73 

Honduras.—The Committee is concerned with increasing violence 

in Honduras involving large landowners, criminal organizations, 

peasant groups, militias, and Honduran security forces. Assassinations of human rights defenders, journalists, and social activists 

are common. In accordance with section 7045(a) of this act, the 

Committee withholds 25 percent of assistance in this act for Honduran military and police forces, which may be obligated only if the 

Secretary of State reports in writing to the Committee that: 

—the Government of Honduras is implementing policies to protect freedom of expression, association, and assembly, and due 

process of law; and is investigating and prosecuting in the civilian justice system, in accordance with Honduran and international law, military and police personnel who are credibly alleged to have violated human rights; and 

—the Honduran military and police are cooperating with civilian 

judicial authorities in such cases. 

Indonesia.—The Committee notes the progress Indonesia has 

made in strengthening democracy, improving the rule of law, and 

addressing other challenges. However, military reform, particularly 

accountability for past crimes, continues to lag behind. 

The Committee recommends not less than $14,000,000 for assistance for Indonesia. Of this amount, in accordance with section 

7044(c) of this act, $2,000,000 may not be obligated until the Secretary of State reports in writing to the Committee on: 

—steps taken by the Government of Indonesia in the previous 12 

months to revise the Code of Military Justice, Uniform Criminal Code and other relevant statutes, to deny promotion, suspend from active service, and/or prosecute and appropriately 

punish military officers credibly alleged to have violated 

human rights, and to refine further the military’s mission and 

develop an appropriate national defense budget to carry out 

that mission; 

—efforts by the military in the previous 12 months to cooperate 

with civilian judicial authorities to resolve cases of violations 

of human rights; 

—efforts by the military in the previous 12 months to implement 

reforms that increase the transparency and accountability of 

the military’s budget and operations, and concrete steps taken 

to achieve divestment of all military businesses; and 

—whether the Government of Indonesia is allowing public access 

to Papua, and respecting due process and freedom of expression, association, and assembly in Papua. 

Kenya.—The Committee directs the Secretary of State to take 

steps to ensure that no United States training, equipment, or other 

assistance is provided to any Kenyan military or police personnel 

who have been credibly alleged to have violated human rights at: 

Mount Elgon in March 2008; Garissa, Wajir and Mandera in North 

Eastern Kenya between November 2011 and January 2012; and in 

the Dadaab refugee camps in North Eastern Kenya in December 

2011. The Secretary shall submit a report to the Committee on 

steps taken by the Government of Kenya to conduct thorough, credible investigations of such violations and the identification of military units responsible. 
74 

Mexico.—The Committee remains concerned with impunity 

among Mexican military and police forces for violations of human 

rights. In accordance with section 7045(f) of this act, the Committee withholds 15 percent of assistance in this act for Mexican 

military and police forces, which may be obligated only if the Secretary of State reports in writing to the Committee that: 

—the Government of Mexico, in accordance with Mexican and 

international law, has reformed the military justice system to 

require that military and police 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; and 

—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. 

Middle East.—The Committee recommends the budget requests 

under this heading for Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and $17,500,000 

for assistance for Tunisia. 

The Committee supports Egypt’s transition to civilian government and notes the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces’ responsibility to safeguard that transition. 

Pakistan.—The Committee expands the uses of FMF assistance 

for Pakistan for counterpiracy efforts. 

Philippines.—The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for assistance for the Philippines, which the Committee understands will be 

used primarily to support the Philippine Navy and Air Force. 

The Committee notes that the Government of the Philippines has 

taken steps to reduce extra-judicial executions by military personnel and militias, but new cases have been reported and impunity for these crimes continues. In accordance with section 7044(f) 

of this act, $3,000,000 may not be obligated unless the Secretary 

of State reports in writing to the Committee that: 

—the Government of the Philippines is taking effective steps to 

prosecute those responsible for EJEs, sustain the decline in the 

number of EJEs, and strengthen government institutions 

working to eliminate EJEs; 

—the Government of the Philippines is implementing a policy of 

promoting military personnel who demonstrate professionalism 

and respect for human rights, and is investigating, prosecuting, and punishing military personnel and others who have 

been credibly alleged to have violated such rights; and 

—the Philippine military, and militias and paramilitary groups 

under its control, are not engaging in acts of violence or intimidation against journalists or members of legal organizations 

who advocate for human rights. 

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 7046(d) of this 

act, the Secretary of State certifies to the Committee that the Government of Sri Lanka is: 
75 

—conducting credible, thorough investigations of alleged 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 United Nations investigation of alleged 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; 

—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. 

The Committee endorses the recommendations contained in the 

Secretary of State’s April 2012 report entitled ‘‘Measures Taken by 

the Government of Sri Lanka and International Bodies to Investigate and Hold Accountable Violators of International Humanitarian and Human Rights Law’’, including that the Government of 

Sri Lanka establish an independent mechanism to investigate the 

credible allegations of war crimes and violations of international 

humanitarian law that the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission failed to address. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report 

to the Committee not later than 60 days after enactment of this 

act, detailing steps taken by the Government of Sri Lanka to implement such recommendations and, absent credible steps, further 

recommendations of the Secretary for international bodies to independently investigate such allegations and to hold perpetrators accountable. The report shall also indicate: 

—if suspected combatants detained during the conflict remain in 

custody; 

—if humanitarian organizations have access to such detainees; 

—the extent to which the Government of Sri Lanka is protecting 

judicial independence, freedom of expression, association, assembly, and religion; the right of political opposition parties, 

civil society organizations, and journalists to operate without 

harassment or interference; and due process of law; and 

—if the Government of Sri Lanka has ended military control over 

public administration in the north and taken steps to investigate repots of continuing violence against protestors, disappearances, and extra-judicial punishments in that region. 

Uzbekistan.—The Committee notes that the administration is relying increasingly on the cooperation of the Government of 

Uzbekistan to transport supplies to United States troops in Afghanistan. The Committee is aware, however, that the GoU continues to repress its own citizens. The administration should continue to urge the GoU to release imprisoned human rights defenders and political prisoners, allow NGOs to operate without inter-
76 

ference, cooperate with U.N. human rights monitors, guarantee 

freedom of speech and of the media, implement conventions against 

child labor, and fully align its election processes with OSCE guidelines.

of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression. The Committee is concerned with increasing attempts by some governments

Budget estimate, 2013 ........................................................................... 103,900,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 103,900,000 

The Committee recommends $4,400,000 for the Inspector General, $38,000,000 for subsidy appropriation, and $103,900,000 for 

administrative expenses for the Export-Import Bank (the Bank), including $3,500,000 to support opening four new regional offices and 

17 additional staff focusing on supporting small businesses, and 

$7,000,000 to fund technology upgrades to streamline the loan 

process. The Committee encourages the Bank to enhance its support for U.S. companies seeking to expand exports to Africa and 

other emerging markets. 

The Committee directs that the use of the aggregate loan, guarantee, and insurance authorities available to the Bank in fiscal 

year 2013 should not result in greenhouse gas emissions from the 

extraction or production of fossil fuels or the use of fossil fuels in 

electricity generation that exceed the average of the total emissions 

in the preceding three fiscal years resulting from the use of these 

authorities unless, not less than 15 days prior to each such use of 

such authorities in fiscal year 2013, the Bank provides a written 

report to the Committee that such use would result in emissions 

exceeding this amount and indicating the amount of the increase, 

and posts such report on the Bank’s Web site. 

The Committee directs the President of the Bank 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 the provisions in section 7020(a) of this act.

The Committee recommends $60,784,000 for administrative expenses and $31,000,000 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 the provisions in section 7020(a) of this act. 

The Committee supports the implementation of a memorandum 

of understanding between OPIC and the USAID OIG, and directs 

the President of OPIC to implement the agreement, including an 

inspection/audit plan, as authorized, and allocate adequate funding 

to support the mutually agreed upon plan in fiscal year 2013 to re-
82 

imburse the USAID OIG for costs related to oversight and audit 

functions. If the fiscal year 2014 budget request includes a proposal 

to consolidate OPIC with the Export-Import Bank and the U.S. 

Trade and Development Agency, the Committee expects the proposal to also consolidate the inspector general function for these 

three agencies. 

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 continued role of this office in light of 

the USAID 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 recommends $57,600,000 for Trade and Development Agency. 

The Committee directs the President of the Trade and Development Agency 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 the provisions in section 7020(a) of this act.

OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS 

The Committee recommends a total of $2,293,000,000 for overseas contingency operations for the Department of State and 

USAID. 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

ADMINISTRATION OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PROGRAMS

The Committee recommends $1,426,000,000 for Diplomatic and Consular Programs, of which $651,000,000 is for Worldwide Security Protection. The amount provided is for the extraordinary costs 

of operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, and is designated 

for OCO. 

The Committee directs that the spend plan required by section 

7076 of this act include a detailed description of the designated 

amounts by category, break-out costs of operations by location, and 

staffing levels for each location and provincial area, where applicable. In addition, with respect to funds transferred to other agencies 

in support of Afghanistan operations, the spend plan should include projected transfer amounts and the number of staff supported 

by each agency. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The Committee recommends $55,900,000 for the Office of Inspec- tor General at the Department of State, of which $49,900,000 is for 

SIGAR and $6,000,000 is for SIGIR. The amount provided is for 

the extraordinary costs of program oversight in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, and is designated for OCO. 

Section 7076 of this act requires the relevant department, agency, or organization to submit to the Committee a spend plan for 

funds appropriated in titles I and II of this act. The Committee expects both SIGAR and SIGIR to submit such plans not later than 

30 days after enactment of this act. 

The budget request did not include fiscal year 2013 funding for 

SIGIR but the Committee understands that SIGIR requires funding to draw down by March 31, 2013, and that SIGIR’s investigative branch requires operating funds until March 31, 2014 to close 

out open investigations. The Committee recommends funding to 

complete SIGIR operations, with the exception of the investigative 

branch, by March 31, 2013, and authority and adequate funding to 

transfer SIGIR investigators to SIGAR until this function draws 

down no later than March 31, 2014. The Committee expects SIGIR 
86 

and SIGAR to coordinate this transfer and minimize administrative, support, and rent costs, and to ensure the timely close-out of 

all SIGIR investigative cases.
