[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Arson Prevention Act of 1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that_
(1) arson is a serious and costly problem, and is responsible
for approximately 25 percent of all fires in the United States;
(2) arson is a leading cause of fire deaths, accounting for
approximately 700 deaths annually in the United States, and is the
leading cause of property damage due to fire in the United States;
(3) estimates of arson property losses are in the range of
$2,000,000,000 annually, or approximately 1 of every 4 dollars lost
to fire;
(4) the incidence of arson in the United States is seriously
underreported, in part because of the lack of adequate
participation by local jurisdictions in the National Fire Incident
Reporting System (NFIRS) and the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)
program;
(5) there is a need for expanded training programs for arson
investigators;
(6) there is a need for improved programs designed to enable
volunteer firefighters to detect arson crimes and to preserve
evidence vital to the investigation and prosecution of arson cases;
(7) according to the National Fire Protection Association, of
all the suspicious and incendiary fires estimated to occur, only
/3\ are confirmed as arson; and
(8) improved training of arson investigators will increase the
ability of fire departments to identify suspicious and incendiary
fires, and will result in increased and more effective prosecution
of arson offenses.

[EX Q]: SECTION 1. PARTICIPATION OF TAIWAN IN THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized
agency of the United Nations, charged with coordinating health
efforts within the United Nations system. The World Health
Assembly (WHA) is the decision-making body of the WHO, which
convenes annually in May to set the policies and priorities of
the organization. Statehood is not a requirement for attendance
at the WHA, and numerous observers, including non-members and
non-governmental organizations, attended the most recent WHA in
May 2017.
(2) Taiwan began seeking to participate in the WHO as an
observer in 1997. In 2009, with strong support from successive
United States Administrations, Congress, and like-minded WHO
Member States, and during a period of improved Cross-Strait
relations, Taiwan received an invitation to attend the WHA as
an observer under the name ''Chinese Taipei''. Taiwan received
the same invitation each year until 2016, when following the
election of President Tsai-Ing Wen of the Democratic
Progressive Party, Taiwan's engagement in the international
community began facing increased resistance from the People's
Republic of China (PRC). Taiwan's invitation to the 2016 WHA
was received late and included new language conditioning
Taiwan's participation on the PRC's ''one China principle''. In
2017, Taiwan did not receive an invitation to the WHA.
(3) Taiwan remains a model contributor to world health,
having provided financial and technical assistance to respond
to numerous global health challenges. Taiwan has invested over
$6 billion in international medical and humanitarian aid
efforts impacting over 80 countries since 1996. In 2014, Taiwan
responded to the Ebola crisis by donating $1 million and
providing 100,000 sets of personal protective equipment.
Through the Global Cooperation and Training Framework, the
United States and Taiwan have jointly conducted training
programs for experts to combat MERS, Dengue Fever, and Zika.
These diseases know no borders, and Taiwan's needless exclusion
from global health cooperation increases the dangers presented
by global pandemics.
(4) Taiwan's international engagement has faced increased
resistance from the PRC. Taiwan was not invited to the 2016
Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO), despite participating as a guest at the organization's
prior summit in 2013. Taiwan's request to participate in the
2016 General Assembly of the International Criminal Police
Organization (INTERPOL) was also rejected. In May 2017, PRC
delegates disrupted a meeting of the Kimberley Process on
conflict diamonds held in Perth, Australia, until delegates
from Taiwan were asked to leave. In June 2017, the Republic of
Panama granted diplomatic recognition to the PRC, terminating a
longstanding diplomatic relationship with Taiwan.
(5) Congress has established a policy of support for
Taiwan's participation in international bodies that address
shared transnational challenges, particularly in the WHO.
Congress passed H.R. 1794 in the 106th Congress, H.R. 428 in
the 107th Congress, and S. 2092 in the 108th Congress to direct
the Secretary of State to establish a strategy for, and to
report annually to Congress on, efforts to obtain observer
status for Taiwan at the WHA. Congress also passed H.R. 1151 in
the 113th Congress, directing the Secretary to report on a
strategy to gain observer status for Taiwan at the ICAO
Assembly, and H.R. 1853 in the 114th Congress, directing the
Secretary to report on a strategy to gain observer status for
Taiwan at the INTERPOL Assembly. However, in 2016 Taiwan did
not receive invitations to attend any of these events as an
observer.
(b) Augmentation of Report Concerning the Participation of Taiwan
in the World Health Organization.--
(1) In general.--Subsection (c) of section 1 of Public Law
108-235 (118 Stat. 656) is amended by adding at the end the
following new paragraph:
''(3) An account of the changes and improvements the
Secretary of State has made to the United States plan to
endorse and obtain observer status for Taiwan at the World
Health Assembly, following any annual meetings of the World
Health Assembly at which Taiwan did not obtain observer
status.''.
(2) Effective date.--The amendment made by paragraph (1)
shall take effect and apply beginning with the first report
required under subsection

(c) of section 1 of Public Law 108-235 that is submitted after
the date of the enactment of this Act.

Passed the House of Representatives January 9, 2018.

Attest:

KAREN L. HAAS,

Clerk.
[EX A]: (Sec. 1) This bill requires the annual reports submitted by the Department of State to Congress concerning the U.S. plan to endorse and obtain observer status for Taiwan at the annual summit of the World Health Assembly (WHA) held by the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, to include an account of the changes and improvements that the State Department has made to such plan following any annual meetings of the WHA at which Taiwan did not obtain such status.
