SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
^ 
This Act may be cited as the "Special Foreign Assistance Act of 
1986". 
TITLE I—PROMOTING IMMUNIZATION AND ORAL 
REHYDRATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 
SEC. 101. FINDINGS. 
' 
The Congress finds that— 
(1) the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) reports 
that 3.5 million children die annually because they have not 
been immunized against the six major childhood diseases: polio, 
.j_ , measles, whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus, and tuberculosis; 
" 
(2) at present less than 20 percent of children in the develop-
ing world are fully immunized against these diseases; 
(3) each year more than five million additional children are 
permanently disabled and suffer diminished capacities to 
contribute to the economic, social, and political development of 
their countries because they have not been immunized; 
(4) ten million additional childhood deaths from immunizable 
and potentially immunizable diseases could be averted annually 
by the development of techniques in biotechnology for new and 
cost-effective vaccines; 
(5) the World Health Assembly, the Executive Board of the 
United Nations Children's Fund, and the United Nations (Gen-
eral Assembly are calling upon the nations of the world to 
commit the resources necessary to meet the challenge of univer-
sal access to childhood immunization by 1990; 
(6) at the 1984 "Bellagio Conference' it w£is determined that 
the goal of universal childhood immunization by 1990 is indeed 
achievable; and 
(7) the Congress has expressed its expectation that the Agency 
for International Development will set as a goal the immuniza-
tion by 1990 of at least 80 percent of all the children in those 
countries in which the Agency has a program. 
SEC. 102. UNITED STATES PARTICIPATION IN GLOBAL EFFORT. 
(a) UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SUPPORT.—The Congress calls 
upon the President to direct the Agency for International Develop-
ment, working through the Centers for Disease Control and other 
appropriate Federal agencies, to work in a global effort to provide 
enhanced support toward achieving the goal of universal access to 
childhood immunization by 1990 by— 
;.-;'"/ •>' 
PUBLIC LAW 99-529—OCT. 24, 1986 
100 STAT. 3011 
(1) assisting in the delivery, distribution, and use of vaccines, 
including— 
(A) the building of locally sustainable systems and tech-
nical capacities in developing countries to reach, by the 
alii • 
appropriate age, not less than 80 percent of their annually 
'" 
projected target population with the full schedule of re-
'^ 
quired immunizations; and 
c 
(B) the development of a sufficient network of indigenous 
'* 
professionals and institutions with responsibility for devel-
*'•' 
oping, monitoring, and assessing immunization programs 
and continually adapting strategies to reach the goal of 
' 
preventing immunizable diseases; and 
f 
(2) performing, supporting, and encouraging research and 
- 
development activities, both in the public and private sector, 
that will be targeted at developing new vaccines and at modify-
ing and improving existing vaccines to make them more appro-
priate for use in developing countries, 
(b) PRIVATE SECTOR SUPPORT.—In support of this global effort, the 
President should appeal to the people of the United States and the 
United States private sector to support public and private efforts to 
provide the resources necessary to achieve universal access to child-
hood immunization by 1990. 
SEC. 103. FUNDING LEVELS. 
(a) EARMARKING.—Section 104(c)(3) of the Foreign Assistance Act 
of 1961 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following: "Of

President of U.S. 
22 use 2151b. 
SEC. 201. FINDINGS CONCERNING HAITI. 
The Congress finds that— 
(1) the establishment of an interim government in Haiti 
committed to a restoration of democracy provides Haiti with an 
opportunity to build the political, social, and economic institu-
tions necessary to promote Haiti's development, to provide a 
i 
better future for the people of Haiti, and to provide the frame-
work for more effective mutual cooperation with the United 
i 
States, Haiti's neighbor in the Caribbean, and the other nations 
K 
of the Hemisphere; 
(2) the magnitude of the political, economic, and social tasks 
facing the people of Haiti will make the achievement of a better 
:• 
future a difficult task which will require a determined and 
sustained effort by the Haitian people over a long period of time 
t 
and will require significant external assistance from the United 
States and other donors; and 
'i 
(3) it is in the interest of the United States to provide appro-
priate support for the development of Haiti, a close neighbor

"SEC. 118. TROPICAL FORESTS. 
22 USC 2151p-l. 
"(a) IMPORTANCE OF FORESTS AND TREE COVER.—In enacting sec-
tion 103(bX3) of this Act the Congress recognized the importance of 
forests and tree cover to the developing countries. The Congress is 
particularly concerned about the continuing and accelerating 
alteration, destruction, and loss of tropical forests in developing 
countries, which pose a serious threat to development and the 
environment. Tropical forest destruction and loss— 
"(1) result in shortages of wood, especially wood for fuel; loss 
of biologically productive wetlands; siltation of lakes, reservoirs, 
and irrigation systems; floods; destruction of indigenous peoples; 
extinction of plant and animal species; reduced capacity for food 
production; and loss of genetic resources; and 
"(2) can result in desertification and destabilization of the 
earth's climate. 
Properly managed tropical forests provide a sustained flow of 
resources essential to the economic growth of developing countries, 
as well as genetic resources of value to developed and developing 
countries alike. 
"(b) PRIORITIES.—The concerns expressed in subsection (a) gmd the 
recommendations of the United States Intergigency Task Force on 
Tropical Forests shall be given high priority by the President— 
,^, 
"(1) in formulating and carrying out programs and policies 
.^ 
with respect to developing countries, including those relating to 
bilateral and multilateral assistance and those relating to pri-
vate sector activities; and 
"(2) in seeking opportunities to coordinate public and private 
development and investment activities which affect forests in 
developing countries. 
"(c) ASSISTANCE TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.—In providing assist- 
President of U.S. 
ance to developing countries, the President shall do the following: 
"(1) Place a high priority on conservation eind sustainable 
management of tropical forests. 
"(2) To the fullest extent feasible, engage in dialogues and 
exchanges of information with recipient countries— 
"(A) which stress the importance of conserving and 
sustainably managing forest resources for the long-term 
/ . 
economic benefit of those countries, as well as the irrevers-
ible losses associated with forest destruction, and 
"(B) which identify and focus on policies of those coun-
tries which directly or indirectly contribute to deforest-
ation. 
"(3) To the fullest extent feasible, support projects and 
activities— 
"(A) which offer emplojnnent and income alternatives to 
those who otherwise would cause destruction and loss of 
forests, and 
"(B) which help developing countries identify and imple-
ment alternatives to colonizing forested areas. 
"(4) To the fullest extent feasible, support training programs, 
educational efforts, and the establishment or strengthening of 
institutions which increase the capacity of developing countries 
to formulate forest policies, engage in relevant land-use plan-
ning, and otherwise improve the management of their forests. 
"(5) To the fullest extent feasible, help end destructive slash-
and-burn agriculture by supporting stable and productive farm-

ing practices in areas already cleared or degraded and on lands 
which inevitably will be settled, with special emphasis on dem-
onstrating the feasibility of agroforestry and other techniques 
which use technologies and methods suited to the local environ-
ment and traditional agricultural techniques and feature close 
consultation with and involvement of local people. 
"(6) To the fullest extent feasible, help conserve forests which 
have not yet been degraded, by helping to increase production 
on lands already cleared or degraded through support of re-
forestation, fuelwood, and other sustainable forestry projects 
and practices, making sure that local people are involved at all 
stages of project design and implementation. 
"(7) To the fullest extent feasible, support projects and other 
activities to conserve forested watersheds and rehabilitate those 
which have been deforested, making sure that local people are 
involved at all stages of project design and implementation. 
"(8) To the fullest extent feasible, support training, research, 
and other actions which lead to sustainable and more environ-
mentally sound practices for timber harvesting, removal, and 
processing, including reforestation, soil conservation, and other 
activities to rehabilitate degraded forest lands. 
"(9) To the fullest extent feasible, support research to expand 
knowledge of tropical forests and identify alternatives which 
will prevent forest destruction, loss, or degradation, including 
research in agroforestry, sustainable management of natural 
forests, small-scale farms and gardens, small-scale animal hus-
bandry, wider application of adopted traditional practices, and 
suitable crops and crop combinations. 
"(10) To the fullest extent feasible, conserve biological diver-
sity in forest areas by— 
"(A) supporting and cooperating with United States 
Government agencies, other donors (both bilateral and 
multilateral), and other appropriate governmental, inter-
governmental, and nongovernmental organizations in ef-
forts to identify, establish, and maintain a representative 
network of protected tropical forest ecosystems on a world-
wide basis; 
"(B) whenever appropriate, making the establishment of 
protected areas a condition of support for activities involv-
ing forest clearance or degradation; and 
(C) helping developing countries identify tropical forest 
ecosystems and species in need of protection and establish 
and maintain appropriate protected areas. 
"(11) To the fullest extent feasible, engage in efforts to in-
crease the awareness of United States Government agencies 
and other donors, both bilateral and multilateral, of the imme-
diate and long-term value of tropical forests. 
"(12) To the fullest extent feasible, utilize the resources and 
abilities of all relevant United States Government agencies. 
"(13) Require that any program or project under this chapter 
significantly affecting tropical forests (including projects involv-
ing the planting of exotic plant species)— 
"(A) be based upon careful analysis of the alternatives 
available to achieve the best sustainable use of the land, 
and 
"(B) take full account of the environmental impacts of the 
proposed activities on biological diversity,

"(14) Deny assistance under this chapter for— 
"(A) the procurement or use of logging equipment, unless 
an environmental assessment indicates that all timber 
harvesting operations involved will be conducted in an 
, , 
environmentally sound msuiner which minimizes forest 
' 
destruction and that the proposed activity will produce 
positive economic benefits and sustainable forest manage-
ment systems; and

"(B) actions which significantly degrade national parks or 
" 
similar protected areas which contain tropical forests or 
introduce exotic plants or animals into such areas. 
"(15) Deny assistance under this chapter for the following 
activities unless an environmental assessment indicates that 
the proposed activity will contribute significantly and directly 
to improving the livelihood of the rural poor and will be con-
ducted in an environmentally sound manner which supports 
sustainable development: 
"(A) Activities which would result in the conversion of 
forest lands to the rearing of livestock. 
"(B) The construction, upgrading, or maintenance of
