CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY
SEC. 585. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds as fol-
lows:
(1) The United States is the world leader in the
development of environmental technologies, particu-
larly clean coal technology.
(2) Severe pollution problems affecting people in
developing countries, and the serious health problems
that result from such pollution, can be effectively ad-
dressed through the application of United States tech-
nology.
(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-
268
HR 4811 PP
ished economic growth in developing countries and,
thus, diminished United States exports to those grow-
ing 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 international financial
institutions), the Secretary of Energy, and the Adminis-
trator of the United States Agency for International Devel-
opment (USAID) should, as appropriate, vigorously pro-
mote the use of United States clean coal technology in envi-
ronmental and energy infrastructure programs, projects
and activities. Programs, projects and activities for which
the use of such technology should be considered include re-
construction assistance for the Balkans, activities carried

that restricts assistance to foreign countries, funds appro-
priated by this or any other Act making appropriations

MOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSION OF HIV/AIDS IN SUB-
SAHARAN AFRICA
SEC. 596. (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that:
(1) According to the World Health Organization,
in 1999, there were 5,600,000 new cases of HIV/AIDS
throughout the world, and two-thirds of those
(3,800,000) were in sub-Saharan Africa.
274
HR 4811 PP
(2) Sub-Saharan Africa is the only region in the
world where a majority of those with HIV/AIDS—55
percent—are women.
(3) When women get the disease, they often pass
it along to their children, and over 2,000,000 children
in sub-Saharan Africa are living with HIV/AIDS.
(4) New investments and treatments hold out
promise of making progress against mother-to-child
transmission of HIV/AIDS. For example—
(A) a study in Uganda demonstrated that a
new drug could prevent almost one-half of the
HIV transmissions from mothers to infants, at a
fraction of the cost of other treatments; and
(B) a study of South Africa’s population es-
timated that if all pregnant women in that
country took an antiviral medication during
labor, as many as 110,000 new cases of HIV/
AIDS could be prevented over the next five years
in South Africa alone.
(5) The Technical Assistance, Trade Promotion,
and Anti-Corruption Act of 2000, as approved by the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee on March 23,
2000, ensures that not less than 8.3 percent of the
United States Agency for International Development’s
275
HR 4811 PP
(USAID) HIV/AIDS funding is used to combat moth-
er-to-child transmission.
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen-
ate that of the funds provided in this Act, the USAID should
place a high priority on efforts, including providing medi-
cations, to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV/
AIDS.

referred to as ‘‘OLS’’), both in the Northern and
Southern sectors;
(B) the extent of actual deliveries of assist-
ance through or from OLS to those areas from
January 1997 through the present;

tion of denials from January 1997 through
the present;
(ii) denial of access by the government
of Sudan on an historic basis (‘‘no-go’’
areas) since 1989 and the reason for such

(iii) exclusion of areas from the origi-
nal agreements which defined the limita-
tions of OLS;
(iv) a determination by OLS of a lack
of need in an area of no coverage;
(v) no request has been made to the
government of Sudan for coverage or deliv-
eries to those areas by OLS or any partici-
pating organization within OLS; or
(vi) any other reason for exclusion
from or denial of coverage by OLS;
(D) areas of Sudan where the United States
has provided assistance outside of OLS since
January 1997, and the amount, extent and na-
ture of that assistance;
(E) areas affected by the withdrawal of
international relief organizations, or their spon-
sors, or both, due to the disagreement over terms

affected; and
(2) containing a comprehensive assessment of the
humanitarian needs in areas of Sudan not covered or
served by OLS, including but not limited to the Nuba
Mountains, Red Sea Hills, and Blue Nile regions.
PERU
SEC. 598. (a) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense
of the Senate that:
(1) The Organization of American States (OAS)
Electoral Observer Mission, led by Eduardo Stein, de-
serves the recognition and gratitude of the United
States for having performed an extraordinary service
in promoting representative democracy in the Amer-
icas by working to ensure free and fair elections in
Peru and by exposing efforts of the Government of
Peru to manipulate the national elections in April
and May of 2000 to benefit the president in power.
(2) The Government of Peru failed to establish
the conditions for free and fair elections—both for the
April 9 election as well as for the May 28 run-off—
by 
not 
taking 
effective 
steps 
to 
correct 
the
‘‘insufficiencies, irregularities, inconsistencies, and
278
HR 4811 PP
inequities’’ documented by the OAS Electoral Obser-
vation Mission.
(3) The United States Government should sup-
port the work of the OAS high-level mission, and that
such mission should base its specific recommendations
on the views of civil society in Peru regarding com-
mitments by their government to respect human
rights, the rule of law, the independence and constitu-
tional role of the judiciary and national congress, and
freedom of expression and journalism.
(4) In accordance with Public Law 106–186, the
United States must review and modify as appropriate
its political, economic, and military relations with
Peru and work with other democracies in this hemi-
sphere and elsewhere toward a restoration of democ-
racy in Peru.

186. Such report should review, but not be limited to, the
following:
(1) The effectiveness of providing United States
assistance to Peru only through independent non-gov-
280
HR 4811 PP

Andean Trade Preferences Act and the ramifications
of conditioning participation in that program on re-
spect for the rule of law and representative democ-
racy.
(c) DETERMINATION.—Not later than 90 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall deter-
mine and report to the appropriate committees of Congress
whether the Government of Peru has made substantial
progress in improving its respect for human rights, the rule
of law (including fair trials of civilians), the independence
and constitutional role of the judiciary and national con-
gress, and freedom of expression and independent jour-
nalism.
(d) PROHIBITION.—If the President determines and re-
ports pursuant to subsection (c) that the Government of
Peru has not made substantial progress, no funds appro-
priated by this Act may be made available for assistance
for the Government of Peru, and the Secretary of the Treas-
ury shall instruct the United States executive directors to
the international financial institutions to use the voice and
vote of the United States to oppose loans to the Government
of Peru, except loans to support basic human needs.

shall not apply to humanitarian assistance, democracy as-
281
HR 4811 PP
sistance, anti-narcotics assistance, assistance to support bi-
national peace activities involving Peru and Ecuador, as-
sistance provided by the Overseas Private Investment Cor-
poration, or assistance provided by the Trade and Develop-
ment Agency.
(f) WAIVER.—The President may waive subsection (d)
for periods not to exceed 90 days if he certifies to the appro-
priate committees of Congress that doing so is important
to the national security interests of the United States and
will promote the respect for human rights and the rule of
law in Peru.
(g) DEFINITIONS.—For the purposes of this section,
‘‘appropriate committees of Congress’’ means the Committee
on Appropriations and the Committee on Foreign Relations
in the Senate and the Committee on Appropriations and
Committee on International Relations in the House of Rep-
resentatives. For the purposes of this section, ‘‘humani-

rule of law;
282
HR 4811 PP
(2) Zimbabwe, at the time of independence in
1980, showed bright prospects for democracy, eco-
nomic development, and racial reconciliation;
(3) the people of Zimbabwe are now suffering the
destabilizing effects of a serious, government-sanc-
tioned breakdown in the rule of law, which is critical

quility;

gal;

(18) the Goverment of Zimbabwe has rejected

SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING ESTONIA, LATVIA, AND
LITHUANIA
SEC. 599A. It is the sense of the Senate that nothing
in this Act regarding the assistance provided to Estonia,
Latvia, and Lithuania under the heading ‘‘FOREIGN MILI-
TARY FINANCING PROGRAM’’ should be interpreted as ex-
286
HR 4811 PP
pressing the sense of the Senate regarding an acceleration

SUPPORT BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION FOR SERBIA
SEC. 599D. (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) General Dragolub Ojdanic, Minister of De-
fense of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia
and Montenegro) and an indicted war criminal, vis-
ited Moscow from May 7 through May 12, 2000, as
a guest of the Government of the Russian Federation,
attended the inauguration of President Vladimir
Putin, and held talks with Russian Defense Minister
Igor Sergeyev and Army Chief of Staff Anatoly
Kvashnin;
(2) General Ojdanic was military Chief of Staff
of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the
Kosova war and has been indicted by the Inter-
national Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugo-
slavia (ICTY) for crimes against humanity and viola-
tions of the laws and customs of war for alleged atroc-
ities against Albanians in Kosova;
(3) international warrants have been issued by
the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former
Yugoslavia for General Ojdanic’s arrest and extra-
dition to The Hague;
(4) the Government of the Russian Federation, a
permanent member of the United Nations Security
288
HR 4811 PP
Council which established the International Criminal
Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, has an obliga-
tion to arrest General Ojdanic and extradite him to
The Hague;
(5) on May 16, 2000, Russian Minister of Eco-
nomics Andrei Shapovalyants announced that his
government has provided the Serbian regime of
Slobodan Milosevic $102,000,000 of a $150,000,000
loan it had reactivated and will sell the Government
of Serbia $32,000,000 of oil despite the fact that the
international community has imposed economic sanc-
tions against the Government of the Federal Republic
of Yugoslavia and the Government of Serbia;
(6) the Government of the Russian Federation is
providing the Milosevic regime such assistance while
it is seeking debt relief from the international commu-
nity and loans from the International Monetary
Fund, and while it is receiving corn and grain as
food aid from the United States;
(7) the hospitality provided to General Ojdanic
demonstrates that the Government of the Russian
Federation rejects the indictments brought by the
International Criminal Tribunal for the Former
Yugoslavia against him and other officials, including
289
HR 4811 PP
Slobodan Milosevic, for alleged atrocities committed
during the Kosova war; and
(8) the relationship between the Government of
the Russian Federation and the Governments of the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Serbia only en-
courages the regime of Slobodan Milosevic to foment
instability in the Balkans and thereby jeopardizes the
safety and security of American military and civilian
personnel and raises questions about Russia’s com-

SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING ADDITIONAL
ASSISTANCE FOR MOZAMBIQUE AND SOUTHERN AFRICA
SEC. 599H. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that:
(1) In February and March of 2000, cyclones
Gloria, Eline, and Hudah caused extensive flooding
in Southern Africa, severely affecting the Republic of
Mozambique.
(2) The floods claimed at least 640 lives and left
nearly 500,000 people displaced or trapped in flood-
isolated areas.
(3) The floods contaminated water supplies, de-
stroyed hundreds of miles of roads, and washed away
homes, schools, and health clinics.
(4) This heavy flooding and the displacement it
caused created conditions in which infectious disease
has flourished.
(5) The Southern African floods of 2000 washed
previously identified and marked landmines to new,
unmarked locations.

reconstruction 
in 
Mozambique 
alone 
will 
be
$430,000,000, with an additional $215,000,000 in
economic costs.
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-

lateral debt relief should be designed to strengthen and
expand the private sector, encourage increased trade
and investment, support the development of free mar-
kets, and promote broad-scale economic growth in
beneficiary countries;
297
HR 4811 PP
(3) these authorizations should also support the
adoption of policies to alleviate poverty and to ensure
that benefits are shared widely among the population,
such as through initiatives to advance education, im-
prove health, combat AIDS, and promote clean water
and environmental protection;
(4) these authorizations should promote debt re-
lief agreements that are designed and implemented in
a transparent manner so as to ensure productive allo-
cation of future resources and prevention of waste;
(5) these authorizations should promote debt re-
lief agreements that have the broad participation of
the citizenry of the debtor country and should ensure

country should receive the benefits of debt relief if that
country does not cooperate with the United States on
terrorism or narcotics enforcement, is a gross violator
of the human rights of its citizens, or is engaged in
military or civil conflict that undermines poverty al-
leviation efforts or spends excessively on its military;

illicit crops; and

port under this title should take effective steps to pre-
vent the creation of a safe haven for narcotics traf-
fickers by ensuring that narcotics traffickers indicted
in the United States are promptly arrested, pros-
ecuted, and sentenced to the maximum extent of the

SEC. 6108. SENSE
OF
THE SENATE
ON UNITED
STATES CITIZENS HELD HOSTAGE IN COLOMBIA. (a) The
Senate finds that—
(1) illegal paramilitary groups in Colombia pose
a serious obstacle to United States and Colombian
counter-narcotics efforts;
(2) abduction of innocent civilians is often used
by such groups to gain influence and recognition;
(3) three United States citizens, David Mankins,
Mark Rich, and Rick Tenenoff, who were engaged in
319
HR 4811 PP
humanitarian and religious work were abducted by
one such group and have been held hostage in Colom-
bia since January 31, 1993;
(4) these 3 men have the distinction of being the
longest-held American hostages;
(5) their kidnapers are believed to be members of
the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia
(FARC) narco-guerrilla organization in Colombia;
(6) the families of these American citizens have
not had any word about their safety or welfare for 7
years; and
(7) such acts against humanitarian workers are
acts of cowardice and are against basic human dig-
nity and are perpetrated by criminals and thus not
deserving any form of recognition.
(b) The Senate—
(1) in the strongest possible terms condemns the
kidnaping of these men;
(2) appeals to all freedom loving nations to con-
demn these actions;
(3) urges members of the European Community
to assist in the safe return of these men by including
in any dialogue with FARC the objective of the re-
lease of all American hostages;
320
HR 4811 PP
(4) appeals to the United Nations Commission
on Human Rights to condemn the kidnaping and to
pressure the FARC into resolving this situation; and
(5) calls upon the President to raise the kid-
naping of these Americans to all relevant foreign gov-
ernments and to express his desire to see this tragic
situation resolved.
