impounded, stored, or carried under any such

by the party with whom the contract is made to
individual water users, municipalities, public
water districts and agencies, Indian tribes,
other Federal agencies, and State agencies. Any
nonproject water so impounded, stored, or car-
ried may be used for any domestic, municipal,
fish and wildlife, industrial, irrigation, or other
beneficial purposes. However, in the use of rec-
lamation project facilities and water (including
nonproject water), priority shall be given to
achieving the purposes of the project. Any
water so impounded, stored, or carried shall not
be used otherwise than as prescribed by law as

(A) by striking ‘‘irrigation purposes’’ and
inserting ‘‘domestic, municipal, fish and wild-
life, industrial, irrigation, or other beneficial
purposes’’; and
(2) Unit FL–35P is an ‘‘otherwise protected
area’’, a designation that was intended to include
lands held for conservation purposes.
(3) The boundary of unit FL–35P runs through
a portion of the Ocean Reef Harbor Course South
development, which was in existence at the time of
the 1990 Act.
(4) At the time unit FL–35P was designated,
nine residences were located in the portion of that
development that was included within the boundaries
of the unit.
(5) The 11.7 acres comprising that portion are
not held for conservation purposes, and are not an
inholding within conservation lands.
(6) The United States Fish and Wildlife Service
has received certificates of occupancy and cor-
responding plat maps from Monroe County, Florida,
verifying that a portion of unit FL–35P was devel-
oped at the time and therefore the portion referred
to in paragraph (5) was mistakenly included in the
Coastal Barrier Resources System.
(7) Modification of the boundary of unit FL–
35P to exclude the 11.7-acre parcel referred to in
paragraph (5) would constitute a valid technical cor-
rection.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is to make
a technical correction to unit FL–35P of the Coastal Bar-
rier Resources System to exclude from that unit the 11.7
acre parcel of developed property that was mistakenly in-
cluded in the unit.

SEPTEMBER 4, 1997
Mr. DOYLE introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary
A BILL
For the relief of Jozef Richard Madar, Etela Madar, and
Jozef Thomas Madar.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS FOR JOZEF
RICHARD MADAR, ETELA MADAR, AND JOZEF
THOMAS MADAR.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding subsections (a)
and (b) of section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality
Act, Jozef Richard Madar, Etela Madar, and Jozef Thom-
as Madar shall each be eligible for issuance of an immi-
grant visa or for adjustment of status to that of an alien
lawfully admitted for permanent residence upon filing an
application for issuance of an immigrant visa under sec-
tion 204 of such Act or for adjustment of status to lawful
permanent resident.
(b) ADJUSTMENT
OF STATUS.—If Jozef Richard
Madar, Etela Madar, or Jozef Thomas Madar enters the
United States before the filing deadline specified in sub-
section (c), he or she shall be considered to have entered
and remained lawfully and shall, if otherwise eligible, be
eligible for adjustment of status under section 245 of the

(c) DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION AND PAYMENT OF

plication for issuance of an immigrant visa or the applica-

within 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.
(d) REDUCTION OF IMMIGRANT VISA NUMBER.—
Upon the granting of an immigrant visa or permanent res-
idence to Jozef Richard Madar, Etela Madar, and Jozef
Thomas Madar, the Secretary of State shall instruct the
proper officer to reduce by 3, during the current or next
following fiscal year, the total number of immigrant visas

contributes to an increased risk of sexual abuse, ex-
ploitation, and HIV infection. As women’s property 
rights are violated on a massive scale by in-laws, rel-
atives, communities, and government officials, the 
impact on women and their dependents is cata-
strophic. Many women end up homeless or living in 
slums, begging for food and water, unable to afford 
health care or school fees for their children, and 
many women resort to working as commercial sex 
workers in order to make ends meet. 
(11) For many women, the combination of stig-
ma, violence, and a lack of independent economic 
means sustains their fear of abandonment, eviction, 
or ostracism from their homes and communities, and 
can leave many more of them trapped within rela-
tionships where they are vulnerable to HIV infec-
tion. 
(12) Women also face additional obstacles due 
to the pervasiveness of discriminatory legal frame-
works that fail to guarantee equal rights or equal 
protection before the law. In many cases, inequitable 
divorce and property laws make it difficult for 
women to leave abusive relationships, and in coun-
tries where laws against gender violence exist, insuf-
ficient resources, coupled with discriminatory prac-
tices by police and courts and a lack of institutional 
support, leave women without access to adequate 
protection. 
(13) Recently, numerous studies have emerged 
indicating that early or child marriage cannot be 
considered a protective factor against HIV infection. 
These studies show that young women between the 
ages of 15–19 who are married are at significantly 
higher risk of contracting HIV/AIDS than single 
women of the same age, in some cases by as much 
as 10 percent. 
(14) There are several reasons that sexually ac-
tive unmarried girls are less vulnerable to HIV infec-
tion than married adolescent girls, including the fact 
that they tend to have sex less frequently, are more 
likely to have sex with those closer to their own age, 
and because they are more likely to use condoms 
during sex. The result is that in many countries 
today, most sexually transmitted HIV infections in 
females occur either inside marriage or in relation-
ships women believe to be monogamous. 
(15) Efforts to expand access to education for 
women and girls and to increase the age at which 
they marry are also critical to increasing the social 
and economic power of women, reducing the spread
