plement the Merida Initiative (hereafter in this sec-

States assistance programs that fulfill the goals

quired under the second section 620J of the

(E) consulting with the Attorney General

States relating to the goals of the Merida Ini-

(1) The illicit drug trade—which has taken a 
toll on the small countries of the Caribbean Commu-
nity (CARICOM) for many years—is now moving 
even more aggressively into these countries. 
(2) A March 2007 joint report by the United 
Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and 
the World Bank noted that murder rates in the Car-
ibbean—at 30 per 100,000 population annually—are 
higher than for any other region of the world and 
have risen in recent years for many of the region’s 
countries. The report also argues that the strongest 
explanation for the high crime and violence rates in 
the Caribbean and their rise in recent years is drug 
trafficking. 
(3) If the United States does not move quickly 
to provide Merida Initiative assistance to the 
CARICOM countries, the positive results of the 
Merida Initiative in Mexico and Central America will 
move the drug trade deeper into the Caribbean and 
multiply the already alarming rates of violence. 
(b) CONSULTATIONS.—Not later than 60 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
State is authorized to consult with the countries of the 
Caribbean Community (CARICOM) in preparation for 
their inclusion into the Merida Initiative.

SEC. 1004. DEMOCRACY IN GEORGIA. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the development and consolidation of effective 
democratic governance in Georgia, including free and fair 
electoral processes, respect for human rights and the rule 
of law, an independent media, an independent judiciary, 
a vibrant civil society, as well as transparency and ac-
countability of the executive branch and legislative proc-
ess, is critically important to Georgia’s integration into 
Euro-Atlantic institutions, stability in the Caucasus re-
gion, and United States national security. It is further the 
sense of Congress that United States should continue to 
affirm the right of Georgia to exercise sovereignty over 
all of its territory and the United States should urge the 
European Union, its member-states, and the entire inter-
national community to call for an immediate and complete 
withdrawal by Russia of its troops now deployed within 
Georgia and an immediate end of all forms of Russia’s 
support for the separatist regions of Georgia.

SEC. 1102. LIMITATION ON ASSISTANCE TO THE FORMER 
YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Greece has demonstrated an enormous good 
will gesture in agreeing that ‘‘Macedonia’’ may be 
included in the future name of the Former Yugoslav 
Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) as long as that 
term is combined with a geographic qualifier that 
makes it clear that there are no territorial ambitions 
on the part of the FYROM with regard to the his-
torical boundaries of the Greek province of Mac-
edonia. 
(2) The FYROM continues to utilize materials 
that violate provisions of the United Nations-bro-
kered Interim Agreement between the FYROM and 
Greece regarding hostile activities or propaganda, 
and has failed to work with the United Nations and 
Greece to achieve the longstanding goals of the 
United States and the United Nations to find a mu-
tually acceptable, new official name for the FYROM.

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that amounts authorized to be appropriated under 
this Act or the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 for the 
FYROM should be conditioned on the FYROM’s willing-
ness to engage in meaningful discussions with Greece in 
accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolu-
tion 817. 
(c) LIMITATION.—None of the funds authorized to be 
appropriated under this Act or the Foreign Assistance Act 
of 1961 may be made available to the FYROM for pro-
grams and activities that directly or indirectly promote 
hostile activities or propaganda by state-controlled agen-
cies of the FYROM or encourage acts by private entities 
likely to incite violence, hatred or hostility, including sup-
port for printing and publishing of textbooks, maps, and 
teaching aids that may include inaccurate information on 
the histories and geographies of Greece and FYROM. 
(d) REPORT.—The President shall transmit to the 
appropriate congressional committees a report on the im-
plementation of this section for each of the fiscal years 
2010 and 2011. The report shall include a description of 
the recipients of assistance provided to the FYROM under

jectives of the programs and activities for which the assist-
ance is provided, and the role of United States-funded pro-
