SEC. 1706. REPORTS AND POLICY CONCERNING DIPLO-
MATIC IMMUNITY.
(a) ANNUAL REPORT CONCERNING DIPLOMATIC IMMU-
NITY.—
(1) REPORT
TO
CONGRESS.—The Secretary of
State shall prepare and submit to the Congress, annu-
ally, a report concerning diplomatic immunity enti-
tled ‘‘Report on Cases Involving Diplomatic Immu-
nity’’.
(2) CONTENT OF REPORT.—In addition to such
other information as the Secretary of State may con-
sider appropriate, the report under paragraph (1)
shall include the following:
(A) The number of persons residing in the
United States who enjoy full immunity from the
criminal jurisdiction of the United States under
laws extending diplomatic privileges and immu-
nities.
(B) Each case involving an alien described
in subparagraph (A) in which the appropriate
authorities of a State, a political subdivision of
a State, or the United States reported to the De-
partment of State that the authority had reason-
able cause to believe the alien committed a seri-
ous criminal offense within the United States.
221
(C) Each case in which the United States
has certified that a person enjoys full immunity
from the criminal jurisdiction of the United
States under laws extending diplomatic privi-
leges and immunities.
(D) The number of United States citizens
who are residing in a receiving state and who
enjoy full immunity from the criminal jurisdic-
tion of such state under laws extending diplo-
matic privileges and immunities.
(E) Each case involving a United States
citizen under subparagraph (D) in which the
United States has been requested by the govern-
ment of a receiving state to waive the immunity
from criminal jurisdiction of the United States
citizen.
(3) SERIOUS CRIMINAL OFFENSE DEFINED.—The
term ‘‘serious criminal offense’’ means—
(A) any felony under Federal, State, or
local law;
(B) any Federal, State, or local offense pun-
ishable by a term of imprisonment of more than
1 year ;
222
(C) any crime of violence as defined for
purposes of section 16 of title 18, United States
Code; or
(D) driving under the influence of alcohol
or drugs or driving while intoxicated if the case
involves personal injury to another individual.
(b) UNITED STATES POLICY CONCERNING REFORM OF
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.—It is the sense of the Congress that
the Secretary of State should explore, in appropriate fora,
whether states should enter into agreements and adopt legis-
lation—
(1) to provide jurisdiction in the sending state to
prosecute crimes committed in the receiving state by
persons entitled to immunity from criminal jurisdic-
tion under laws extending diplomatic privileges and
immunities; and
(2) to provide that where there is probable cause
to believe that an individual who is entitled to immu-
nity from the criminal jurisdiction of the receiving
state under laws extending diplomatic privileges and
immunities committed a serious crime, the sending
state will waive such immunity or the sending state
will prosecute such individual.

SEC. 1707. CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO
EFFICIENCY IN THE CONDUCT OF FOREIGN
POLICY.
It is the sense of the Congress that the Secretary, after
consultation with the appropriate congressional committees,
should submit a plan to the Congress to consolidate some
or all of the functions currently performed by the Depart-
ment of State, the agency for International Development,
and the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, in order
to increase efficiency and accountability in the conduct of
the foreign policy of the United States.
SEC. 1708. CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENT CONCERNING
RADIO FREE EUROPE/RADIO LIBERTY.
It is the sense of the Congress that Radio Free Europe/
Radio Liberty should continue surrogate broadcasting be-
yond the year 2000 to countries whose people do not yet
fully enjoy freedom of expression. Recent events in Serbia,
Belarus, and Slovakia, among other nations, demonstrate
that even after the end of communist rule in such nations,
tyranny under other names still threatens the freedom of
their peoples, and hence the stability of Europe and the na-
tional security interest of the United States. The Broadcast-
ing Board of Governors should therefore continue to allocate
sufficient funds to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to con-
tinue broadcasting at current levels to target countries and
224
to increase these levels in response to renewed threats to free-
dom.
SEC. 1709. PROGRAMS OR PROJECTS OF THE INTER-
NATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY IN CUBA.

SHARE OF ASSISTANCE.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Section 307(c) of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2227(c)) is amend-
ed—
(A) by striking ‘‘The limitations’’ and in-
serting ‘‘(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the limita-
tions’’; and
(B) by adding at the end the following:
‘‘(2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), with
respect to funds authorized to be appropriated by this chap-
ter and available for the International Atomic Energy
Agency, the limitations of subsection (a) shall apply to pro-
grams or projects of such Agency in Cuba.
‘‘(B)(i) Subparagraph (A) shall not apply with respect
to programs or projects of the International Atomic Energy
Agency that provide for the discontinuation, dismantling,
or safety inspection of nuclear facilities or related mate-
rials, or for inspections and similar activities designed to
prevent the development of nuclear weapons by a country
