THAT RESTRICT THE TRANSPORT OR DELIV-
ERY OF UNITED STATES HUMANITARIAN AS-
SISTANCE.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) The United States Federal budget deficit and
spending constraints require the maximum efficiency
in the usage of United States foreign assistance.
(2) The delivery of humanitarian assistance to
people in need is consistent with the fundamental val-
ues of our Nation and is an important component of
United States foreign policy.
(3) As a matter of principle and in furtherance
of fiscal prudence, the United States should seek to
promote the delivery of humanitarian assistance to
people in need in a manner that is both timely and
cost effective.
(4) Recipients of United States assistance should
not hinder or delay the transport or delivery of Unit-
ed States humanitarian assistance to other countries.
(b) PROHIBITION ON ASSISTANCE.—Section 620 of the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2370), as amend-
ed by this Act, is further amended by adding at the end
the following new subsection:
345
‘‘(aa)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
United States assistance may not be made available for any
country whose government prohibits or otherwise restricts,
directly or indirectly, the transport or delivery of United
States humanitarian assistance.
‘‘(2) The prohibition on United States assistance con-
tained in paragraph (1) shall not apply if the President
determines and notifies the Congress in writing that provid-
ing such assistance to a country is in the national security
interest of the United States.
‘‘(3) A suspension or termination of United States as-
sistance for any country under paragraph (1) shall cease
to be effective when the President certifies in writing to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Committee
on Foreign Relations of the Senate that such country is no
longer prohibiting or otherwise restricting, either directly
or indirectly, the transport or delivery of United States hu-
manitarian assistance.
‘‘(4)(A) At the time of the annual budget submission
to Congress, the President shall submit a report to the Con-
gress describing any information available to the President
concerning prohibitions or restrictions, direct or indirect,
on the transport or delivery of United States humanitarian
assistance by the government of any country receiving or
346
eligible to receive United States foreign assistance during
the current or preceding fiscal year.
‘‘(B) The President shall include in the report required
by subparagraph (A) a statement as to whether the prohibi-
tion in paragraph (1) is being applied to each country for
which the President has information available to him con-
cerning prohibitions or restrictions, direct or indirect, on
the transport or delivery of United States humanitarian as-
sistance.
‘‘(5) As used in this subsection, the term ‘United States
assistance’ has the same meaning given that term in section
481(e)(4) of this Act.’’.

eign Assistance Act of 1961 (in accordance with procedures

tion) that the provision of assistance to such government,
