SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT OF INITIATIVES FOR PREDOMINANTLY MUSLIM
COUNTRIES.

(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Surveys indicate that, in countries of predominantly
Muslim population, opinions of the United States and American
foreign policy among the general public and select audiences
are significantly distorted by highly negative and hostile
beliefs and images and that many of these beliefs and images
are the result of misinformation and propaganda by individuals
and organizations hostile to the United States.
(2) These negative opinions and images are highly
prejudicial to the interests of the United States and to its
foreign policy.
(3) As part of a broad and long-term effort to enhance a
positive image of the United States in the Muslim world, a key
element should be the establishment of programs to promote a
greater familiarity with American society and values among the
general public and select audiences in countries of
predominantly Muslim population.
(b) Establishment of Initiatives.--The Secretary of State shall
establish the following programs with countries with predominantly
Muslim populations as part of the educational and cultural exchange
programs of the Department of State:
(1) Journalism program.--A program for foreign journalists
and postsecondary students of journalism which, in cooperation
with private sector sponsors to include universities, shall
sponsor workshops and professional training in techniques,
standards, and practices in the field of journalism to assist
the participants to achieve the highest standards of
professionalism.
(2) Libraries.--The Secretary of State shall develop and
implement a demonstration program to assist foreign governments
to establish or upgrade their public library systems to improve
literacy, support public education, and provide youth
recreation centers. The program shall provide training in the
library sciences, including exchange opportunities for
postsecondary study in the United States. The purpose of the
program shall be to advance American values and society,
particularly the importance of freedom and democracy.
(3) English language teaching.--The Secretary shall
establish a program to provide grants to United States citizens
to work in middle and secondary schools as English language
teaching assistants for not less than an academic year. If
feasible, the host government or local educational agency shall
share the salary costs of the assistants.
(4) Sister city partnerships.--The Secretary shall expand
and enhance sister-city partnerships between United States and
foreign municipalities in an effort to increase global
cooperation at the community level. Such partnerships shall
encourage economic development, municipal cooperation, health
care initiatives, youth and educational programs, disability
advocacy, emergency preparedness, and humanitarian assistance.
(5) Youth ambassadors.--The Secretary shall establish a
program for visits by middle and secondary school students to
the United States during school holidays in their home country
for periods not to exceed 4 weeks. Participating students shall
reflect the economic and geographic diversity of their
countries. Activities shall include cultural and educational
activities designed to familiarize participating students with
American society and values. To the extent practicable, such
visits shall be coordinated with middle and secondary schools
in the United States to provide for school-based activities and
interactions. The Secretary shall encourage the establishment
of direct school-to-school linkages under the program.
(6) Fulbright exchange program.--The Secretary shall seek
to substantially increase the number of awards under the J.
William Fulbright Educational Exchange Program to graduate
students, scholars, professionals, teachers, and administrators
from the United States who are applying for such awards to
study, teach, conduct research, or pursue scholarship in
predominantly Muslim countries. Part of such increase shall
include awards for scholars and teachers who plan to teach
subjects relating to American studies.
(7) Hubert h. humphrey fellowships.--The Secretary shall
seek to substantially increase the number of Hubert H. Humphrey
Fellowships awarded to candidates from predominantly Muslim
countries.
(c) General Provision.--Programs established under this section
