PART 2—UNITED STATES-ISRAEL ENERGY 
COOPERATION 
SEC. 9321. SHORT TITLE. 
This part may be cited as the ‘‘United States-Israel 
Energy Cooperation Act’’. 
SEC. 9322. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds that—
842 
(1) it is in the highest national security inter-
ests of the United States to ensure secure access to 
reliable energy sources; 
(2) the United States relies heavily on the for-
eign supply of crude oil to meet the energy needs of 
the United States, currently importing 58 percent of 
the total oil requirements of the United States, of 
which 45 percent comes from member states of the 
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries 
(OPEC); 
(3) revenues from the sale of oil by some of 
these countries directly or indirectly provide funding 
for terrorism and propaganda hostile to the values 
of the United States and the West; 
(4) in the past, these countries have manipu-
lated the dependence of the United States on the oil 
supplies of these countries to exert undue influence 
on United States policy, as during the embargo of 
OPEC during 1973 on the sale of oil to the United 
States, which became a major factor in the ensuing 
recession; 
(5) research by the Energy Information Admin-
istration of the Department of Energy has shown 
that the dependence of the United States on foreign

oil will increase by 33 percent over the next 20 
years; 
(6) a rise in the price of imported oil sufficient 
to increase gasoline prices by 10 cents per gallon at 
the pump would result in an additional outflow of 
$18,000,000,000 from the United States to oil-ex-
porting nations; 
(7) for economic and national security reasons, 
the United States should reduce, as soon as prac-
ticable, the dependence of the United States on na-
tions that do not share the interests and values of 
the United States; 
(8) the State of Israel has been a steadfast ally 
and a close friend of the United States since the cre-
ation of Israel in 1948; 
(9) like the United States, Israel is a democracy 
that holds civil rights and liberties in the highest re-
gard and is a proponent of the democratic values of 
peace, freedom, and justice; 
(10) cooperation between the United States and 
Israel on such projects as the development of the 
Arrow Missile has resulted in mutual benefits to 
United States and Israeli security; 
(11) the special relationship between Israel and 
the United States has been and continues to be

distribution 
from an eligible retirement plan (as so 
defined) other than an individual re-

tribution in an eligible rollover dis-
tribution 
(as 
defined 
in 
section 
402(c)(4)) and as having transferred 
the amount to the eligible retirement 
plan in a direct trustee to trustee 
transfer within 60 days of the dis-
tribution.

described 
in 
section 
408(d)(3) and as having been trans-
ferred to the eligible retirement plan

‘‘(IV) APPLICATION TO GOVERN-

termining whether any distribution is 
a qualified disaster-relief distribution 
for purposes of this clause, an eligible 
deferred compensation plan (as de-
fined in section 457(b)) maintained by 
an employer described in section 
457(e)(1)(A) shall be treated as a 
qualified retirement plan. 
‘‘(iv) QUALIFIED
DISASTER-RELIEF

paragraph, the term ‘qualified disaster-re-
lief distribution’ means any distribution—
‘‘(I) to an individual who has 
sustained a loss as a result of a major 
disaster declared under section 401 of 
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief

son of Hurricane Katrina and who

(b) EXEMPTION OF DISTRIBUTIONS FROM TRUSTEE 
TO TRUSTEE TRANSFER AND WITHHOLDING RULES.— 
Paragraph (4) of section 402(c) of such Code (relating 
to eligible rollover distribution) is amended by striking
844 
manifested in a variety of jointly-funded cooperative 
programs in the field of scientific research and de-

(B) the Israel-United States Binational 
Agricultural Research and Development Fund 
(BARD); and

Foundation; 
(12) these programs, supported by the match-
ing contributions from the Government of Israel and 
the Government of the United States and directed 
by key scientists and academics from both countries, 
have made possible many scientific breakthroughs in 
the fields of life sciences, medicine, bioengineering, 
agriculture, biotechnology, communications, and oth-
ers; 
(13) on February 1, 1996, United States Sec-
retary of Energy Hazel R. O’Leary and Israeli Min-
ister of Energy and Infrastructure Gonen Segev 
signed the Agreement Between the Department of 
Energy of the United States of America and the 
Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure of Israel Con-
845 
cerning Energy Cooperation, to establish a frame-
work for collaboration between the United States 
and Israel in energy research and development ac-
tivities; 
(14) the United States and Israeli governments 
should promote cooperation in a broad range of 
projects designed to enhance supplies of nonpetro-
leum energy for both countries, and to provide for 
cutting edge research in each country; 
(15) Israeli scientists and researchers have long 
been at the forefront of research and development in 
the field of alternative renewable energy sources; 
(16) many of the top corporations of the world 
have recognized the technological and scientific ex-
pertise of Israel by locating important research and 
development facilities in Israel; 
(17) among the technological breakthroughs 
made by Israeli scientists and researchers in the 
field of alternative, renewable energy sources are— 
(A) the development of a cathode that uses 
hexavalent iron salts that accept 3 electrons per 
ion and enable rechargeable batteries to provide 
3 times as much electricity as existing recharge-
able batteries;
