'findings. congress makes the following findings: 1 on july 17, 1998, the united nations diplomatic conference of plenipotentiaries on the',
'establishment of an international criminal court, meeting in rome, italy, adopted the rome statute of the international criminal court. the',
'vote on whether to proceed with the statute was 120 in favor to 7 against, with 21 countries abstaining. the',
'united states voted against final adoption of the rome statute. 2 as of april 30, 2001, 139 countries had signed',
'the rome statute and 30 had ratified it. pursuant to article 126 of the rome statute, the statute will enter',
'into force on the first day of the month after the 60th day following the date on which the 60th',
'country deposits an instrument ratifying the statute. 3 since adoption of the rome statute, a preparatory commission for the international',
'criminal court has met regularly to draft documents to implement the rome statute, including rules of procedure and evidence, elements',
'of crimes, and a definition of the crime of aggression. 4 during testimony before the congress following the adoption of',
'the rome statute, the lead united states negotiator, ambassador david scheffer stated that the united states could not sign the',
'rome statute because certain critical negotiating objectives of the united states had not been achieved. as a result, he stated:',
'we are left with consequences that do not serve the cause of international justice. 5 ambassador scheffer went on to',
'tell the congress that: multinational peacekeeping forces operating in a country that has joined the treaty can be exposed to',
'the courts jurisdiction even if the country of the individual peacekeeper has not joined the treaty. thus, the treaty purports',
'to establish an arrangement whereby united states armed forces operating overseas could be conceivably prosecuted by the international court even',
'if the united states has not agreed to be bound by the treaty. not only is this contrary to the',
'most fundamental principles of treaty law, it could inhibit the ability of the united states to use its military to',
'meet alliance obligations and participate in multinational operations, including humanitarian interventions to save civilian lives. other contributors to peacekeeping operations',
'will be similarly exposed.. 6 notwithstanding these concerns, president clinton directed that the united states sign the rome statute on',
'december 31, 2000. in a statement issued that day, he stated that in view of the unremedied deficiencies of the',
'rome statute, i will not, and do not recommend that my successor submit the treaty to the senate for advice',
'and consent until our fundamental concerns are satisfied. 7 any american prosecuted by the international criminal court will, under the',
'rome statute, be denied procedural protections to which all americans are entitled under the bill of rights to the united',
'states constitution, such as the right to trial by jury. 8 members of the armed forces of the united states',
'should be free from the risk of prosecution by the international criminal court, especially when they are stationed or deployed',
'around the world to protect the vital national interests of the united states. the united states government has an obligation',
'to protect the members of its armed forces, to the maximum extent possible, against criminal prosecutions carried out by the',
'international criminal court. 9 in addition to exposing members of the armed forces of the united states to the risk',
'of international criminal prosecution, the rome statute creates a risk that the president and other senior elected and appointed officials',
'of the united states government may be prosecuted by the international criminal court. particularly if the preparatory commission agrees on',
'a definition of the crime of aggression over united states objections, senior united states officials may be at risk of',
'criminal prosecution for national security decisions involving such matters as responding to acts of terrorism, preventing the proliferation of weapons',
'of mass destruction, and deterring aggression. no less than members of the armed forces of the united states, senior officials',
'of the united states government should be free from the risk of prosecution by the international criminal court, especially with',
'respect to official actions taken by them to protect the national interests of the united states. 10 any agreement within',
'the preparatory commission on a definition of the crime of aggression that usurps the prerogative of the united nations security',
'council under article 39 of the charter of the united nations to determine the existence of any . . .',
'. act of aggression would contravene the charter of the united nations and undermine deterrence. 11 it is a fundamental',
'principle of international law that a treaty is binding upon its parties only and that it does not create obligations',
'for nonparties without their consent to be bound. the united states is not a party to the rome statute and',
'will not be bound by any of its terms. the united states will not recognize the jurisdiction of the international',

'findings. congress makes the following findings: 1 the state of alaska is the largest state in the union and has',
'a very limited system of roads connecting communities. 2 alaska has more pilots per capita than any other state in',
'the union. 3 pilots flying in alaska are often the most skilled and best prepared pilots in the world. 4',
'air travel within the state of alaska is often hampered by severe weather conditions and treacherous terrain. 5 the united',
'states government owns nearly \2/3\ of alaskas landmass, including large tracts of land separating isolated communities within the state. 6',
'such federal ownership has inhibited the ability of alaskans to build roads connecting isolated communities. 7 most communities and a',
'large portion of the population within the state can only be reached by air. 8 the vast majority of food',
'items and everyday necessities destined for these isolated communities and populations can only be transported through the air. 9 the',
'intra alaska bypass mail system, created by congress and operated by the united states postal service under section 5402 of',
'title 39, united states code, with input from the department of transportation, connecting hundreds of rural and isolated communities within',
'the state, is a critical piece of the alaska and the national transportation system. the system is like a 4',
'legged stool, designed to a provide the most affordable means of delivering food and everyday necessities to these rural and',
'isolated communities; b establish a system whereby the postal service can meet its obligations to deliver mail to every house',
'and business in the united states; c support affordable and reliable passenger service; and d support affordable and reliable nonmail',
'freight service. 10 without the intra alaska bypass mail system a it would be difficult and more expensive for the',
'postal service to meet its obligation of delivering mail to every house and business in the united states; and b',
'food, medicine, freight, and everyday necessities and passenger service for these rural and isolated communities would cost several times the',
'current level. 11 attempts by congress to support passenger and nonmail freight service in alaska using the intra alaska bypass',
'mail system have yielded some positive results, but some carriers have been manipulating the system by carrying few, if any,',
'passengers and little nonmail freight while earning most of their revenues from the carriage of nonpriority bypass mail. 12 as',
'long as the federal government continues to own large tracts of land within the state of alaska which impede access',
'to isolated communities, it is in the best interest of the postal service, the residents of alaska and the united',
'states a to ensure that the intra alaska bypass mail system remains strong, viable, and affordable for the postal service;',
'b to ensure that residents of rural and isolated communities in alaska continue to have affordable, reliable, and safe passenger',
'service; c to ensure that residents of rural and isolated communities in alaska continue to have affordable, reliable, and safe',
'nonmail freight service; d to encourage that intra alaska air carriers move toward safer, more secure, and more reliable air',
'transportation under the federal aviation administrations guidelines and in accordance with part 121 of title 14, code of federal regulations,',
'where such operations are supported by the needs of the community; and e that congress, pursuant to the authority granted',
'under article i, section 8 of the united states constitution to establish post offices and post roads, make changes to',
'ensure that the intra alaska bypass mail system continues to be used to support substantial passenger and nonmail freight service',
'and to reduce costs for the postal service. c selection of carriers of nonpriority bypass mail to certain points in',
'alaska. 1 definitions. section 5402 of title 39, united states code, is amended a by striking subsection e ; b',

'budget information has sometimes been contradictory, and has not been submitted in a common format allowing useful budgetary comparisons or',
'an appropriate level of detail to be used for reprogramming controls. consequently, the conferees direct tsa to follow the existing',
'reprogramming procedures for the department of transportation. these guidelines establish the following minimum thresholds for reporting proposed funding shifts to',
'congress: proposed actions involving funding shifts of more than 15 percent of new budget authority for the benefiting or providing',
'ppa, or $1,000,000, whichever is less; or proposed actions of any size that deviate from high priority congressional interests and',

'senate directed tsa to publish, on its website, monthly statistics for each airport regarding compliance with the ten minute wait',
'time goal. rather than reporting on a single goal, the conferees agree that tsa should track and publish information on',
'a wide variety of goals, so this new agencys growth and overall performance can be closely monitored by the congress,',
'taxpayers, and the traveling public. therefore, the conferees direct tsa, as soon as possible, to begin reporting on the wait',
'time goals on its website as proposed by the senate. the conferees also direct that tsa begin reporting on its',
'website, or under separate cover to the congress as security concerns dictate, monthly performance information for each of the following',
'measures: percent of commercial airports with permanent federal security directors on the job; percent of airports with tsa conducting passenger',
'and baggage screening; percent of required eds and etd systems deployed; percent of airports utilizing the capps ii system; percent',
'of commercial aircraft with phase ii cockpit doors installed; average wait time at passenger screening checkpoint for federalized airports; number',
'of complaints per 1,000 passengers for federalized airports; security cost per originating passenger for federalized airports; and percent of major',
'ports with port vulnerability assessments completed. where applicable, this information should be presented on an airport by airport or airline',
'by airline basis, and the tsa should include in its reports the specific information on the wait time goal proposed',

'it is critical to begin developing a baseline of performance information against which future budget requests may be evaluated and',

'flexibility to set pay rates for its employees outside the federal general schedule. while this provision was intended to allow',
'the agency flexibility in establishing its workforce, the conferees are concerned that some positions are being hired at rates, which',
'are above those for similar positions in other federal agencies. to monitor these expenses, tsa is directed to begin submitting',
'to the house and senate committees on appropriations, on a monthly basis, a report on the number of employees the',
'agency has on board for each of the agencys job series. this report should include, at a minimum: 1 a',
'description of each job series; 2 the number of individuals employed in each job series; 3 the total annual salary',
'cost, average and median salary costs, and standard deviation for salary distributions for each job series; and 4 the degree',
'to which the agency has fulfilled the diversity goals as articulated by the under secretary in testimony. every two months,',
'the report should include a comparison of average salary costs and the percentage change for each job series during the',
'two month period. it is expected that the same data will be provided regarding federal air marshals, even if such',
'data is transmitted separately due to security considerations. contract oversight. tsa is currently budgeting over $3,000,000,000 for start up contract',
'costs in fiscal year 2002. these include contracts for recruiting, hiring, and training tsas workforce; purchasing and deploying equipment; and',
'administrative support. given that tsa is exempt from most federal acquisition requirements and is undergoing rapid growth, the conferees are',
'concerned that contracts may be let and managed without sufficient internal controls to monitor contractor performance and guard against waste,',
'fraud, and abuse. accordingly, the conferees direct that, for each contract the agency enters into, tsa shall set aside one',
'percent of the total contract costs for contract oversight activities. these activities should include, but are not limited to: 1',
'overseeing contractor and subcontractor performance with respect to cost, schedule, and quality; 2 monitoring billings; 3 providing for independent cost',
'audits by the defense contract audit agency; and 4 overseeing the volume of undefinitized contract actions and the timely definitization',
'of contracts. tsa is directed to report to the house and senate committees on appropriations at the beginning of each',
'fiscal quarter on the number and dollar amount of all contracts let, including task orders placed under existing contracts, the',
'dollars allocated for contract oversight and the nature of oversight activities undertaken. at the time this information is submitted to',
'congress, tsa should also provide such information to the department of transportation inspector general for his review and analysis. at',
'the request of the committees on appropriations, the inspector general has been conducting a review of tsas budget and financial',
'management. because this information has been useful in determining appropriate funding levels for tsa, the ig is directed to continue',
'its efforts and report to the appropriations committees as necessary. veterans preference in hiring. within the next two months, tsa',
'plans to hire over 40,000 people. the aviation and transportation security act requires that the under secretary shall provide a',
'preference for the hiring of an individual as a security screener if the individual is a member or a former',
'member of the armed forces. the conferees are concerned that with the initial tsa screener hiring, veterans who passed the',
'tsa test were offered jobs 83% of the time, while non veterans who passed the tsa test were offered jobs',
'88% of the time. the conferees direct the inspector general to review tsas implementation of the veterans preference requirement and',
'submit a report to the house and senate committees on appropriations by august 31, 2002. dot credentialing project. recently the',
'transportation security administration announced the establishment of the dot credentialing project. this projects major goal is the development and provision',
'of a standardized transportation worker identification card twic for all personnel government, commercial, non profit and others requiring access to',
'secure facilities in any mode of transportation nationwide. tsas view is that such a system must include a single type',
'of card with access to a single, secure network of databases. this project is much larger in scope than envisioned',
'at the time the fiscal year 2003 budget request was submitted. the conferees have several concerns with this project as',
'currently proposed: tsa appears to have selected a particular type of identification card, with inadequate justification or consultation with congress',
'or affected industries concerning the cost or requirements. security vulnerabilities of the system have not been adequately explained; tsa has',
'not explained the programs costs or how such a large effort, spanning several industries, will be financed; and the agency',
'has provided no details on how much funding is included in the fiscal year 2002 or 2003 budgets for this',
'effort or details on anticipated pilot projects at airports. given the inadequate planning and consultation on this effort, the conferees',
'direct tsa not to obligate further funding for this effort except through existing reprogramming procedures which require written notification to',
'the congress and approval of the expenditure. the conferees will work with tsa in development of the fiscal year 2003',
'department of transportation and related agencies appropriations act to resolve these issues. airport modifications to install explosive detection systems. the',
'conferees have provided a total of $738,000,000 for the costs of the physical modification of commercial service airports for the',
'purpose of installing explosive detection systems. the amount provided is $225,000,000 more than the level requested by the administration. the',
'conferees note that a number of airports, including seattle tacoma international airport, are in the process of constructing new terminal',
'facilities at precisely the same time that the new explosive detection systems must be installed. in the case of the',
'south terminal expansion project step at seattle tacoma international airport, the sudden requirement to install explosive detection systems has triggered',
'dramatic cost increases in the project due to the requirement to redesign and reconfigure the terminal in mid construction. as',
'such, the conferees direct that, in allocating the resources provided over and above the administrations request for eds installation, the',
'under secretary be attentive to the needs of the south terminal expansion project and other airport projects in a similar',
'circumstance. the conferees understand that anchorage international airport and kansas city international airport may be in similar circumstances. radiation detection',

'been deployed at major airports. tsa has recognized that tip ready x ray screening systems can significantly strengthen checkpoint security',
'by enhancing screener performance, through continuous analysis and training. the conferees encourage tsa to continue the acquisition and deployment of',
'tip ready x ray systems at all commercial service airports. port security grants. the conference agreement includes $125,000,000 for port',
