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-
139
HR 4811 EAS
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

construction assistance for the Balkans, activities carried

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.
145
HR 4811 EAS
(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
146
HR 4811 EAS
(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.
REPORTING REQUIREMENT ON SUDAN
SEC. 597. One hundred and twenty days after the date

(1) describing—
(A) the areas of Sudan open to the delivery
of humanitarian or other assistance through or
from Operation Lifeline Sudan (in this section
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;
(C) areas of Sudan which cannot or do not
receive assistance through or from OLS, and the
specific reasons for lack or absence of coverage,
including—
(i) denial of access by the government
of Sudan on a periodic basis (‘‘flight
147
HR 4811 EAS
bans’’), including specific times and dura-
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
denials;
(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
148
HR 4811 EAS
of the ‘‘Agreement for Coordination of Humani-
tarian, Relief and Rehabilitation Activities in
the SPLM Administered Areas’’ memorandum of
1999, including specific locations and programs
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
149
HR 4811 EAS
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

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;

it is seeking debt relief from the international commu-
nity and loans from the International Monetary

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

mitment to its responsibilities as a member of the
North American Treaty Organization-led peace-
keeping mission in Kosova.
