(2) Direct and unobstructed participation in the

police authorities. Internationally shared information 
with authorized police authorities is vital to peace-
keeping efforts.

ensure and promote the widest possible mutual as-
sistance between all criminal police authorities with-
in the limits of the laws existing in the different 
countries and in the spirit of the Universal Declara-

international networks of terrorism, show the ongo-
ing necessity to be ever inclusive of nations willing 
to work together to combat criminal activity. The 
ability of police authorities to coordinate, preempt, 
and act swiftly and in unison is an essential element 
of crisis prevention and response.

SEC. 4. COVERAGE FOR SERVICES FURNISHED TO INDIVID-
UALS OTHER THAN CENTER PATIENTS.
Section 224(g)(1) (42 U.S.C. 233(g)) is amended—
(1) by redesignating paragraph (1) as para-
graph (1)(A); and
(2) by adding at the end thereof the following:
‘‘(B) The deeming of any entity or officer, gov-
erning board member, employee, or contractor of the
entity to be an employee of the Public Health Serv-
ice under subparagraph (A) shall apply with respect
to services provided—
‘‘(i) to all patients of the entity, and
‘‘(ii) subject to subparagraph (C), to indi-
viduals who are not patients of the entity.
‘‘(C) Subparagraph (B)(ii) applies to services
provided to individuals who are not patients of an
entity if the Secretary determines, after reviewing an
application submitted under subparagraph (D), that
the provision of the services to such individuals—
‘‘(i) benefits patients of the entity and gen-
eral populations that could be served by the en-
tity through community-wide intervention ef-
forts within the communities served by such en-
tity;
‘‘(ii) facilitates the provision of services to
patients of the entity; or
‘‘(C) An estimate of the medical malpractice li-
ability loss history of such entities for the 10-year
period preceding October 1, 1996, including but not
limited to the following:
‘‘(i) Claims that have been paid and that
are estimated to be paid, and legal expenses to

that are estimated to be paid, by the Federal
Government pursuant to deeming entities as
employees for purposes of this section.
‘‘(ii) Claims that have been paid and that

cal malpractice liability insurance.
‘‘(D) An analysis of whether the cost of premiums
for private medical malpractice liability insurance
coverage is consistent with the liability claims experi-
ence of entities that have been deemed as employees
for purposes of this section.
‘‘(3) In preparing the report under paragraph (1), the
Comptroller General of the United States shall consult
with public and private entities with expertise on the mat-
ters with which the report is concerned.’’.
Passed the House of Representatives December 12,
1995.
Attest:
Clerk.
(1) GENERAL RULE.—Except as otherwise pro-
vided in this subsection, the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (in this subsection re-
ferred to as the ‘‘Institute’’) shall be transferred to
the National Science Foundation.
(2) FUNCTIONS OF DIRECTOR.—Except as oth-
erwise provided in this subsection, upon the transfer
under paragraph (1), the Director of the Institute
shall perform all functions relating to the Institute
that, immediately before the effective date specified
in section 213(a), were functions of the Secretary of
Commerce or the Under Secretary of Commerce for
Technology, including the administration of section
17 of the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation
Act of 1980.
(3) LABORATORIES.—(A) The laboratories of
the Institute shall be transferred to the Commerce
Programs Resolution Agency.
(B) The Commerce Programs Resolution Agen-
cy shall attempt to sell the property of the labora-
tories of the Institute, within 18 months after the
effective date specified in section 213(a), to a private
sector entity intending to perform substantially the
same functions as were performed by the labora-
ing necessity to be ever inclusive of nations willing 
to work together to combat criminal activity. The 
ability of police authorities to coordinate, preempt, 
and act swiftly and in unison is an essential element 
of crisis prevention and response. 
(5) Taiwan maintained full membership in 
INTERPOL starting in 1964 through its National 
Police Administration but was ejected in 1984 when 
the People’s Republic of China (PRC) applied for 
membership. 
(6) Nonmembership prevents Taiwan from 
gaining access to INTERPOL’s I–24/7 global police 
communications system, which provides real-time in-
formation on criminals and global criminal activities. 
Taiwan is relegated to second-hand information from 
friendly nations, including the United States. 
(7) Taiwan is unable to swiftly share informa-
tion on criminals and suspicious activity with the 
international community, leaving a huge void in the 
global crime-fighting efforts and leaving the entire 
world at risk. 
(8) The United States, in the 1994 Taiwan Pol-
icy Review, declared its intention to support Tai-
wan’s participation in appropriate international or-
ganizations and has consistently reiterated that sup-
port. 
(9) Following the enactment of Public Law 
108–235, a law authorizing the Secretary of State to 
initiate and implement a plan to endorse and obtain 
observer status for Taiwan at the annual summit of 
the World Health Assembly and subsequent advo-
cacy by the United States, Taiwan was granted ob-
server status to the World Health Assembly for six 
consecutive years since 2009. Both prior to and in 
its capacity as an observer, Taiwan has contributed 
significantly to the international community’s collec-
tive efforts in pandemic control, monitoring, early 
warning, and other related matters. 
(10) INTERPOL’s constitution allows for ob-
servers at its meetings by ‘‘police bodies which are 
not members of the Organization’’. 
(b) TAIWAN’S PARTICIPATION IN INTERPOL.—The 
President shall— 
(1) develop a strategy to obtain observer status 
for Taiwan in INTERPOL and at other related 
meetings, activities, and mechanisms thereafter; and 
(2) instruct INTERPOL Washington to offi-
cially request observer status for Taiwan in 
INTERPOL and to actively urge INTERPOL mem-
ber states to support such observer status and par-
ticipation for Taiwan. 
(c) REPORT CONCERNING OBSERVER STATUS FOR 
TAIWAN IN INTERPOL.—Not later than 30 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall 
transmit to Congress a report, in unclassified form, de-
scribing the United States strategy to endorse and obtain 
observer status for Taiwan in INTERPOL and at other 
related meetings, activities, and mechanisms thereafter. 
The report shall include the following: 
(1) A description of the efforts the President 
has made to encourage INTERPOL member states 
to promote Taiwan’s bid to obtain observer status in 
INTERPOL. 
(2) A description of the actions the President 
will take to endorse and obtain observer status for 
Taiwan in INTERPOL and at other related meet-
ings, activities, and mechanisms thereafter.
