mentation of a negotiated settlement on the future
status of Kosova.
(d) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the sense of the
Congress that the United States should not restore full
diplomatic relations with Serbia until the President sub-
158
mits to the Committees on Appropriations and Foreign
Relations in the Senate and the Committees on Appropria-
tions and International Relations in the House of Rep-
resentatives the certification described in subsection (c).
(e) EXEMPTION OF MONTENEGRO AND KOSOVA.—
The sanctions described in subsection (b) shall not apply
to Montenegro or Kosova.
(f) DEFINITION.—The term ‘‘international financial
institution’’ includes the International Monetary Fund,
the International Bank for Reconstruction and Develop-
ment, the International Development Association, the
International Finance Corporation, the Multilateral In-
vestment Guaranty Agency, and the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development.
(g) WAIVER AUTHORITY.—The President may waive
the application in whole or in part, of any sanction de-
scribed in subsection (b) if the President certifies to the
Congress that the President has determined that the waiv-
er is necessary to meet emergency humanitarian needs.
CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY
SEC. 599A. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds as
follows:
(1) The United States is the world leader in the
development of environmental technologies, particu-
larly clean coal technology.
159
(2) Severe pollution problems affecting people
in developing countries, and the serious health prob-
lems that result from such pollution, can be effec-
tively addressed through the application of United
States technology.
(3) During the next century, developing coun-
tries, particularly countries in Asia such as China
and India, will dramatically increase their consump-
tion of electricity, and low quality coal will be a
major source of fuel for power generation.
(4) Without the use of modern clean coal tech-
nology, the resultant pollution will cause enormous
health and environmental problems leading to dimin-
ished economic growth in developing countries and,
thus, diminished United States exports to those
growing markets.
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the policy of the
United States to promote the export of United States
clean coal technology. In furtherance of that policy, the
Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury (acting
through the United States executive directors to inter-
national financial institutions), the Secretary of Energy,
and the Administrator of the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) should, as appro-
priate, vigorously promote the use of United States clean
160
coal technology in environmental and energy infrastruc-
ture programs, projects and activities. Programs, projects
and activities for which the use of such technology should
be considered include reconstruction assistance for the
Balkans, activities carried out by the Global Environment
Facility, and activities funded from USAID’s Development
Credit Authority.
