SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Secure Embassy Construction and
Counterterrorism Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On August 17, 1998, two United States embassies in
Nairobi, Kenya, and in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, were destroyed
by simultaneously exploding bombs. The resulting explosions
killed 220 persons and injured more than 4,000 others. Twelve
Americans and 40 Kenyan and Tanzanian employees of the United
States Foreign Service were killed in the attack.
(2) The United States personnel in both Dar Es Salaam and
Nairobi showed leadership and personal courage in their
response to the attacks. Despite the havoc wrecked upon the
embassies, staff in both embassies provided rapid response in
locating and rescuing victims, providing emergency assistance,
and quickly restoring embassy operations during a crisis.
(3) The bombs are believed to have been set by individuals
associated with Osama bin Laden, leader of a known
transnational terrorist organization. In February of 1998 Bin
Laden issued a directive to his followers that called for
attacks against American interests anywhere in the world.
(4) Following the bombings, additional threats have been
made against United States diplomatic facilities.
(5) A review board was convened following the bombings, as
required by Public Law 99-399. The panel was chaired by Admiral
William J. Crowe, United States Navy (Ret).
(6) The conclusions of the Crowe panel are strikingly
similar to those stated by the Inman Commission, which issued
an extensive embassy security report more than 14 years ago.
(7) Admiral Crowe's panel issued a report setting out the
following two striking problems:
(A) The United States has devoted inadequate
resources towards security against terrorist attacks.
(B) The United States Government places too low a
priority on security concerns. The result has been a
failure to take adequate steps to prevent tragedies
such as the bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
(8) The Crowe panel found that there was an institutional
failure on the part of the Department of State and embassies
under its direction, to recognize threats posed by
transnational terrorism and vehicular bombs.
(9) Responsibility for obtaining adequate resources for
security programs is widely shared throughout the United States
Government, including Congress. Unless the vulnerabilities
identified in the Crowe report are addressed in a sustained and
financially realistic manner, the lives and safety of United
States employees in diplomatic facilities will continue to be
at risk from further terrorist attacks.
(10) Although service in the Foreign Service or other
Government positions in foreign countries can never be
completely without risk, the United States must ensure that the
risks are kept to a minimum.

SEC. 3. UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC FACILITY DEFINED.
