Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Office of Strategic Services 
Congressional Gold Medal Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was America's 
        first effort to implement a system of strategic intelligence 
        during World War II and provided the basis for the modern-day 
        American intelligence and special operations communities. The 
        U.S. Special Operations Command and the National Clandestine 
        Service chose the OSS spearhead as their insignias.
            (2) OSS founder General William J. Donovan is the only 
        person in American history to receive our Nation's four highest 
        decorations, including the Medal of Honor. Upon learning of his 
        death in 1959, President Eisenhower called General Donovan the 
        ``last hero''. In addition to founding and leading the OSS, 
        General Donovan was also selected by President Roosevelt, who 
        called him his ``secret legs'', as an emissary to Great Britain 
        and continental Europe before the United States entered World 
        War II.
            (3) All the military branches during World War II 
        contributed personnel to the OSS. The present-day Special 
        Operations Forces trace their lineage to the OSS. Its Maritime 
        Unit was a precursor to the U.S. Navy SEALs. The OSS 
        Operational Groups and Jedburghs were forerunners to U.S. Army 
        Special Forces. The 801st/492nd Bombardment Group 
        (``Carpetbaggers'') were progenitors to the Air Force Special 
        Operations Command. The Marines who served in the OSS, 
        including the actor Sterling Hayden (a Silver Star recipient), 
        Col. William Eddy (a Distinguished Service Cross recipient who 
        was described as the ``nearest thing the United States has had 
        to a Lawrence of Arabia''), and Col. Peter Ortiz (a two-time 
        Navy Cross recipient), were predecessors to the Marine Special 
        Operations Command. U.S. Coast Guard personnel were recruited 
        for the Maritime Unit and its Operational Swimmer Group.
            (4) The OSS organized, trained, supplied, and fought with 
        resistance organizations throughout Europe and Asia that played 
        an important role in America's victory during World War II. 
        General Eisenhower credited the OSS's covert contribution in 
        France to the equivalent to having an extra military division. 
        General Eisenhower told General Donovan that if it did nothing 
        else, the photographic reconnaissance conducted by the OSS 
        prior to the D-Day Invasion justified its creation.
            (5) Four future directors of central intelligence served as 
        OSS officers: William Casey, William Colby, Allen Dulles, and 
        Richard Helms.
            (6) Women comprised more than one-third of OSS personnel 
        and played a critical role in the organization. They included 
        Virginia Hall, the only civilian female to receive a 
        Distinguished Service Cross in World War II, and Julia Child.
            (7) OSS recruited Fritz Kolbe, a German diplomat who became 
        America's most important spy against the Nazis in World War II.
            (8) America's leading scientists and scholars served in the 
        OSS Research and Analysis Branch, including Ralph Bunche, the 
        first African-American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize; 
        Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.; 
        Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg; Sherman Kent; John King 
        Fairbank; and Walt Rostow. Its ranks included seven future 
        presidents of the American Historical Association, five of the 
        American Economic Association, and two Nobel laureates.
            (9) The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Intelligence 
        and Research traces its creation to the OSS Research and 
        Analysis Branch.
            (10) James Donovan, who was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the 
        Steven Spielberg movie ``Bridge of Spies'' and negotiated the 
        release of U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers, served as General 
        Counsel of the OSS.
            (11) The OSS invented and employed new technology through 
        its Research and Development Branch, inventing new weapons and 
        revolutionary communications equipment. Dr. Christian 
        Lambertsen invented the first underwater rebreathing apparatus 
        that was first utilized by the OSS and is known today as SCUBA.
            (12) OSS Detachment 101 operated in Burma and pioneered the 
        art of unconventional warfare. It was the first United States 
        unit to deploy a large guerrilla army deep in enemy territory. 
        It has been credited with the highest kill/loss ratio for any 
        infantry-type unit in American military history and was awarded 
        a Presidential Unit Citation.
            (13) Its X-2 branch pioneered counterintelligence with the 
        British and established the modern counterintelligence 
        community. The network of contacts built by the OSS with 
        foreign intelligence services led to enduring Cold War 
        alliances.
            (14) Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North 
        Africa in November 1942, was aided by the networks established 
        and information acquired by the OSS to guide Allied landings.
            (15) OSS Operation Halyard rescued more than 500 downed 
        airmen trapped behind enemy lines in Yugoslavia, one of the 
        most daring and successful rescue operations of World War II.
            (16) OSS ``Mercy Missions'' at the end of World War II 
        saved the lives of thousands of Allied prisoners of war whom it 
        was feared would be murdered by the Japanese.
            (17) The handful of surviving men and women of the OSS whom 
        General Donovan said performed ``some of the bravest acts of 
        the war'' are members of the ``Greatest Generation''. They have 
        never been collectively recognized for their heroic and 
        pioneering service in World War II.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States and the Caribbean have enjoyed long-
        standing friendly relations.
            (2) As an important regional partner for trade and 
        democratic values, the Caribbean constitutes a ``Third Border'' 
        of the United States.
            (3) The decrease in tourism revenue in the aftermath of the 
        tragic terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, had an adverse 
        affect on the Caribbean.
            (4) According to a 2005 World Bank Report on the Caribbean, 
        unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, has severe 
        implications on poverty and income distributions, as well as 
        drug trafficking and addiction.
            (5) The World Bank Report also concludes that better 
        synchronization is needed between current Caribbean curricula 
        and the skills needed in an evolving job market and economy.
            (6) Many Caribbean leaders have linked the increase in 
        crime to a decrease in economic alternatives. Consequently, 
        United States and Caribbean leaders have highlighted the need 
        for increased educational opportunities for Caribbean students.
            (7) By enhancing United States cultural and educational 
        exchange programs in the Caribbean, regional security is 
        improved by expanding human resources and providing 
        opportunities that promote economic growth.
            (8) Many Caribbean leaders studied at the undergraduate or 
        graduate level in the United States before returning to their 
        respective countries to contribute towards the strengthening of 
        democracy, the economy, or the provision of social services.
            (9) From 2003 through 2005, 217 Caribbean leaders 
        participated in exchange programs with the United States that 
        focused on good governance, combating drug trafficking, anti-
        corruption, and other regional issues of concern.
            (10) The Department of State currently administers public 
        outreach programs that include cultural, academic, and citizen 
        exchange initiatives in Caribbean countries through the Embassy 
        Public Affairs Sections with support from the Office of Public 
        Diplomacy in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs.
            (11) In some Caribbean countries, the United States Agency 
        for International Development coordinates the Center of 
        Excellence for Teacher Training (CETT), a successful 
        Presidential initiative that emphasizes teacher training as a 
        key to the development of a competitive work force.
            (12) In Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, 
        Barbados, Belize, the Cayman Islands, the Dominican Republic, 
        Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts and 
        Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and 
        Trinidad and Tobago, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural 
        Affairs sponsors educational advisors to promote study in the 
        United States.
            (13) In the 2004-2005 academic year, approximately 14,000 
        Caribbean students were enrolled in United States universities.

SEC. 4. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this Act is to develop two comprehensive educational 
initiatives targeted toward the Caribbean. The first will establish a 
system for United States-Caribbean educational exchange programs, and 
the second will develop a plan to enhance teacher training and 
community involvement in early education in the region.

SEC. 5. AVOIDANCE OF DUPLICATION.

    The Secretary, acting through the Under Secretary for Public 
Diplomacy, shall consult with the Administrator and the Secretary of 
Education to ensure that--
            (1) activities under this act are not duplicative of other 
        efforts in the Caribbean; and
            (2) partner institutions in the Caribbean and United States 
        cooperating agencies are creditable.

SEC. 6. SHIRLEY CHISHOLM UNITED STATES-CARIBBEAN EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGE 
              PROGRAM.

    (a) In General.--To carry out the purpose of this section, the 
Secretary of State, acting through the Under Secretary for Public 
Diplomacy, is authorized to establish a Caribbean international 
exchange visitor program, to be known as the ``Shirley Chisholm United 
States-Caribbean Educational Exchange Program'', under which--
            (1) secondary students from the Caribbean would--
                    (A) attend a public equivalent school in the United 
                States;
                    (B) participate in activities designed to promote a 
                greater understanding of United States values and 
                culture; and
                    (C) have the option to live with a United States 
                host family and experience life in a United States host 
                community; and
            (2) undergraduate, graduate students, and scholars from the 
        Caribbean would--
                    (A) attend a private or public college or 
                university in the United States;
                    (B) participate in activities designed to promote a 
                greater understanding of United States values and 
                culture; and
                    (C) have the option to live with a United States 
                host family and experience life in a United States host 
                community.
    (b) Percentage Requirement.--Not less than 75 percent of Program 
participants may be from member countries of CARICOM.
    (c) Collaboration.--The Secretary shall collaborate with Caribbean 
counterparts to establish similar exchange opportunities for United
