within 30 days of the receipt of all necessary documents
from the applicant and the Immigration and Naturaliza-
tion Service. In the case of an immigrant visa application
where the sponsor of such applicant is a relative other

ards, and results achieved by the interagency working

creasing the amount of an individual’s arrearages of child
support that would require the Secretary of State to refuse
to issue a passport to such individual, or otherwise act
with respect to such an individual, as provided under sec-
tion 452(k) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 652(k)).

ducing the amount to $2,500 (or an amount between
$5,000 and $2,500), which shall include an estimate
of the additional numbers of individuals who would
be subject to denial, an estimate of the additional
child support arrearages that would be received
through such a reduction, and an estimate of the
amount of child support that would be paid earlier

uals to reach $2,500 in arrearages.

TITLE VI—EMBASSY SECURITY
AND 
COUNTERTERRORISM
MEASURES
SEC. 601. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Secure Embassy Con-
struction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999’’.
SEC. 602. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On August 7, 1998, the United States em-
bassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and in Dar es Salaam,
Tanzania, were destroyed by simultaneously explod-
ing bombs. The resulting explosions killed 220 per-
sons and injured more than 4,000 others. Twelve
Americans and 40 Kenyan and Tanzanian employees
of the United States Foreign Service were killed in
the attack.
(2) The United States personnel in both Dar es
Salaam and Nairobi showed leadership and personal
courage in their response to the attacks. Despite the
havoc wreaked upon the embassies, staff in both em-
bassies provided rapid response in locating and res-
cuing victims, providing emergency assistance, and
quickly restoring embassy operations during a crisis.
(3) The bombs are believed to have been set by
individuals associated with Osama bin Laden, leader
118
of a known transnational terrorist organization. In
February 1998, bin Laden issued a directive to his
followers that called for attacks against United
States interests anywhere in the world.
(4) Threats continue to be made against United
States diplomatic facilities.
(5) Accountability Review Boards were con-
vened following the bombings, as required by Public
Law 99–399, chaired by Admiral William J. Crowe,
United States Navy (Ret.) (in this section referred
to as the ‘‘Crowe panels’’).
(6) The conclusions of the Crowe panels were
strikingly similar to those stated by the Commission
chaired by Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, which issued
an extensive embassy security report in 1985.
(7) The Crowe panels issued a report setting
out many problems with security at United States
diplomatic facilities, in particular the following:
(A) The United States Government has de-
voted inadequate resources to security against
terrorist attacks.
(B) The United States Government places
too low a priority on security concerns.
119
(8) The result has been a failure to take ade-
quate steps to prevent tragedies such as the bomb-
ings in Kenya and Tanzania.
(9) The Crowe panels found that there was an
institutional failure on the part of the Department
of State to recognize threats posed by transnational
terrorism and vehicular bombs.
(10) Responsibility for ensuring adequate re-
sources for security programs is widely shared
throughout the United States Government, including
Congress. Unless the vulnerabilities identified by the
Crowe panels are addressed in a sustained and fi-
nancially realistic manner, the lives and safety of
United States employees in diplomatic facilities will
continue to be at risk from further terrorist attacks.
(11) Although service in the Foreign Service or
other United States Government positions abroad
can never be completely without risk, the United
States Government must take all reasonable steps to
minimize security risks.
SEC. 603. UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC FACILITY DEFINED.
In this title, the terms ‘United States diplomatic fa-
cility’ and ‘diplomatic facility’ mean any chancery, con-
sulate, or other office notified to the host government as

tem used by the United States Embassy in
Paris, France, with each center designed to
operate—
(i) at no additional cost to the United

Foreign Service officers currently assigned
to the United States diplomatic mission in

SEC. 871. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Congress concurs in the conclusions of the
Department of State, as set forth in the Country
Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1998, on
174
human rights in the People’s Republic of China in
1998 as follows:
(A) ‘‘The People’s Republic of China
(PRC) is an authoritarian state in which the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the para-
mount source of power. . . . Citizens lack both
the freedom peacefully to express opposition to
the party-led political system and the right to
change their national leaders or form of govern-
ment.’’.
(B) ‘‘The Government continued to commit
widespread and well-documented human rights
abuses, in violation of internationally accepted
norms. These abuses stemmed from the au-
thorities’ very limited tolerance of public dissent
aimed at the Government, fear of unrest, and
the limited scope or inadequate implementation
of laws protecting basic freedoms.’’.
(C) 
‘‘Abuses 
included 
instances 
of
extrajudicial killings, torture and mistreatment
of prisoners, forced confessions, arbitrary arrest
and detention, lengthy incommunicado deten-
tion, and denial of due process.’’.
(D) ‘‘Prison conditions at most facilities
remained harsh. . . . The Government in-
175
fringed on citizens’ privacy rights. The Govern-
ment continued restrictions on freedom of
speech and of the press, and tightened these to-
ward the end of the year. The Government se-
verely restricted freedom of assembly, and con-
tinued to restrict freedom of association, reli-
gion, and movement.’’.
(E) ‘‘Discrimination against women, mi-
norities, and the disabled; violence against
women, including coercive family planning prac-
tices—which sometimes include forced abortion
and forced sterilization; prostitution, trafficking
in women and children, and the abuse of chil-
dren all are problems.’’.
(F) ‘‘The Government continued to restrict
tightly worker rights, and forced labor remains
a problem.’’.
(G) ‘‘Serious human rights abuses per-
sisted in minority areas, including Tibet and
Xinjiang, where restrictions on religion and
other fundamental freedoms intensified.’’.
(H) ‘‘Unapproved religious groups, includ-
ing Protestant and Catholic groups, continued
to experience varying degrees of official inter-
ference and repression.’’.
176
(I) ‘‘Although the Government denies that
it holds political or religious prisoners, and ar-
gues that all those in prison are legitimately
serving sentences for crimes under the law, an
unknown number of persons, estimated at sev-
eral thousand, are detained in violation of inter-
national human rights instruments for peace-
fully expressing their political, religious, or so-
cial views.’’.
(2) In addition to the State Department, cred-
ible press reports and human rights organizations
have documented an intense crackdown on political
activists by the Government of the People’s Republic
of China, involving the harassment, detainment, ar-
rest, and imprisonment of dozens of activists.
(3) The People’s Republic of China, as a mem-
ber of the United Nations, is expected to abide by
the provisions of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights.
(4) The People’s Republic of China is a party
to numerous international human rights conventions,
including the Convention Against Torture and Other
Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punish-
ment, and is a signatory to the International Cov-
177
enant on Civil and Political Rights and the Covenant
on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights.
