and advice to such departments and agencies, co-

good governance, and the rule of law, to investing in 
the health and educations of their people, and to pro-
moting sound economic policies that foster economic 
opportunity for their people. 
(3) The Department of State should be respon-

tion, anti-terrorism, counter-narcotics, and relief for 
refugees. 
(4) Other Federal departments and agencies with

ties, such as the Overseas Private Investment Cor-

DIVISION B—REAUTHORIZATION 
AND 
EXPANSION 
OF 
THE 
PEACE CORPS 
TITLE X—GENERAL PROVISIONS 
SEC. 1001. DEFINITIONS. 
In this division: 
(1) 
APPROPRIATE
CONGRESSIONAL
COMMIT-
TEES.—The term ‘‘appropriate congressional commit-
tees’’ means the Committee on International Relations 
of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
Foreign Relations of the Senate. 
(2) DIRECTOR.—The term ‘‘Director’’ means the 
Director of the Peace Corps.
(3) HOST COUNTRY.—The term ‘‘host country’’ 
means a country whose government has invited the 
Peace Corps to establish a Peace Corps program with-
in the territory of the country. 
(4) 
PEACE
CORPS
VOLUNTEER.—The 
term 
‘‘Peace Corps volunteer’’ means a volunteer or a vol-
unteer leader under the Peace Corps Act. 
(5) RETURNED PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEER.—The 
term ‘‘returned Peace Corps volunteer’’ means a per-
son who has been certified by the Director as having 
served satisfactorily as a Peace Corps volunteer. 
SEC. 1002. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The Peace Corps was established in 1961 to 
promote world peace and friendship through the serv-
ice abroad of volunteers who are United States citi-
zens. The spirit of service and commitment to helping 
others is a fundamental component of democracy. 
(2) Since its establishment, more than 168,000 
volunteers have served in the Peace Corps in 136 
countries throughout the world. 
(3) The three goals codified in the Peace Corps 
Act which have guided the Peace Corps and its volun-
teers over the years, can work in concert to promote 
global acceptance of the principles of international
peace and nonviolent coexistence among peoples of di-
verse cultures and systems of government. 
(4) The Peace Corps has sought to fulfill three 
goals—to help people in developing countries meet 
basic needs, promote understanding abroad of the val-
ues and ideals of the United States, and promote an 
understanding of other peoples by the people of the 
United States. 
(5) After more than 40 years of operation, the 
Peace Corps remains the world’s premier inter-
national service organization dedicated to promoting 
grassroots development by working with families and 
communities to improve health care for children, ex-
pand agricultural production, teach in schools, fight 
infectious diseases, protect the environment, and ini-
tiate small business opportunities. 
(6) The Peace Corps remains committed to send-
ing well trained and well supported Peace Corps vol-
unteers overseas to promote international peace, cross-
cultural awareness, and mutual understanding be-
tween the United States and other countries. 
(7) The Peace Corps is an independent agency, 
and, therefore, no Peace Corps personnel or volunteers 
should be used to accomplish any goal other than the 
goals established by the Peace Corps Act.
(8) The Crisis Corps has been an effective tool in 
harnessing the skills and talents of returned Peace 
Corps volunteers and should be expanded, to the max-
imum extent practicable, to utilize the talent of re-
turned Peace Corps volunteers. 
(9) In fiscal year 2003, the Peace Corps is oper-
ating with an annual budget of $295,000,000 in 70 
countries, with more than 7,000 Peace Corps volun-
teers. 
(10) There is deep misunderstanding and misin-
formation in many parts of the world, particularly in 
countries with substantial Muslim populations, with 
respect to United States values and ideals. A new or 
expanded Peace Corps presence in such places could 
foster better understanding between the people of the 
United States and such countries. 
(11) Congress has declared, and the Peace Corps 
Act provides, that the Peace Corps shall maintain, to 
the maximum extent practicable and appropriate, a 
volunteer corps of at least 10,000 individuals. 
(12) President George W. Bush has called for the 
doubling of the number of Peace Corps volunteers in 
service. 
(13) Any expansion of the Peace Corps should 
not jeopardize the quality of the Peace Corps volun-
teer experience and, therefore, necessitates, among 
other things, an appropriate increase in field and 
headquarters support staff.
(14) In order to ensure that the proposed expan-
sion of the Peace Corps preserves the integrity of the 
program and the security of volunteers, the integrated 
Planning and Budget System supported by the Office 
of Planning and Policy Analysis should continue its 
focus on strategic planning. 
(15) A streamlined, bipartisan Peace Corps Na-
tional Advisory Council composed of distinguished re-
turned Peace Corps volunteers, former Peace Corps 
staff, and other individuals with diverse backgrounds 
and expertise can be a source of ideas and suggestions 
that may be useful to the Director of the Peace Corps 
as the Director discharges the duties and responsibil-
ities as head of the agency.
