SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CONTRACTING FOR DELIVERY OF 
ASSISTANCE BY AIR 
SEC. 698. It is the sense of Congress that the Adminis-
trator of the United States Agency for International Devel-
307
HR 2800 PP 
opment should, to the maximum extent practicable and in 
a manner consistent with the use of full and open competi-
tion (as that term is defined in section 4(6) of the Office 
of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 403(6))), 
contract with small, domestic air transport providers for 
purposes of the delivery by air of assistance available under 
this Act. 
SEC. 699. (a) Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) International organizations and non-govern-
mental observers, including the Organization for Se-
curity and Cooperation in Europe, the National 
Democratic Institute, and Human Rights Watch doc-
umented widespread government manipulation of the 
electoral process in advance of the Presidential elec-
tion held in Azerbaijan on October 15, 2003. 
(2) Such organizations and the Department of 
State reported widespread vote falsification during 
the election, including ballot stuffing, fraudulent ad-
ditions to voter lists, and irregularities with vote tal-
lies and found that election commission members from 
opposition parties were bullied into signing falsified 
vote tallies. 
(3) The Department of State issued a statement 
on October 21, 2003 concluding that the irregularities
308
HR 2800 PP 
that occurred during the elections ‘‘cast doubt on the 
credibility of the election’s results’’. 
(4) Human Rights Watch reported that govern-
ment forces in Azerbaijan used excessive force against 
demonstrators protesting election fraud and that such 
force resulted in at least one death and injuries to 
more than 300 individuals. 
(5) Following the elections, the Government of 
Azerbaijan arrested more than 330 individuals, many 
of whom are leaders and rank-and-file members of op-
position parties in Azerbaijan, including individuals 
who served as observers and polling-station officials 
who refused to sign vote tallies from polling stations 
that the individuals believed were fraudulent. 
(6) The national interest of the United States in 
promoting stability in the Caucasus and Central Asia 
and in winning the war on terrorism is best protected 
by maintaining relationships with democracies com-
mitted to the rule of law. 
(7) The credible reports of fraud and intimida-
tion cast serious doubt on the legitimacy of the Octo-
ber 15, 2003 Presidential election in Azerbaijan and 
on the victory of Ilham Aliev in such election. 
(b) It is the sense of Congress that—
309
HR 2800 PP 
(1) the President and the Secretary of State 
should urge the Government of Azerbaijan to create 
an independent commission, with participation from 
the Organization for Security and Cooperation in 
Europe and the Council of Europe, to investigate the 
fraud and intimidation surrounding the October 15, 
2003 election in Azerbaijan, and to hold a new elec-
tion if such a commission finds that a new election 
is warranted; 
(2) the violence that followed the election should 
be condemned and should be investigated in a full 
and impartial investigation; 
(3) the perpetrators of criminal acts related to 
the election, including Azerbaijani police, should be 
held accountable; and 
(4) the Government of Azerbaijan should imme-
diately release from detention all members of opposi-
tion political parties who were arrested for peacefully 
expressing political opinions. 
(c) Not later than 90 days after the date of the enact-
ment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in consultation 
with the Attorney General, shall submit a report to the 
Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Ap-
propriations of the Senate and the Committee on Inter-
national Relations and the Committee of Appropriations of

resentatives a report on a strategy for engaging with com-
petent and responsible authorities and organizations within 
Somalia, including in Somaliland, to strengthen local ca-
pacity and establish incentives for communities to seek sta-
bility. 
(b) The report shall describe a multi-year strategy 
for—
(1) increasing access to primary and secondary 
education and basic health care services; 
(2) supporting efforts underway to establish clear 
systems for effective regulation and monitoring of So-
mali hawala, or informal banking, establishments; 
and 
(3) supporting initiatives to rehabilitate the live-
stock export sector in Somalia.

laria in the same manner, to the same extent, and subject

that were not initially reported to the IAEA. 
(5) There have been credible reports of Iran har-
boring Al Qaeda fugitives and permitting the passage 
of terrorist elements into Iraq.

policy of the United States to—
(1) support transparent, full democracy in Iran; 
(2) support the rights of the Iranian people to 
choose their system of government; 
(3) condemn the brutal treatment and imprison-
ment and torture of Iranian civilians expressing po-
litical dissent; 
(4) call upon the Government of Iran to comply 
fully with requests by the International Atomic En-
ergy Agency for information and to immediately sus-
pend all activities related to the development of nu-
clear weapons and their delivery systems;

(5) demand that Al Qaeda members be imme-
diately turned over to governments requesting their

passage of armed elements into Iraq and cease all ac-
tivities to undermine the Iraqi Governing Council 
and the reconstruction of Iraq.
