SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Northern Ireland Peace and
Reconciliation Support Act of 2003''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has been effectively engaged in the
Northern Ireland peace process through both participating in
negotiations and contributing to the economic development of
Northern Ireland and border areas of the Republic of Ireland
that are affected by the conflict in Northern Ireland.
(2) The Government of Ireland, the Irish people, the
Government of the United Kingdom, and the British people are
longstanding friends of the United States Government and the
people of the United States.
(3) In 1986, the United States, in support of the Agreement
Between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the
United Kingdom dated November 15, 1985 (''Anglo-Irish
Agreement''), established the International Fund for Ireland
(''International Fund'') to help bolster economic development
and support programs that would foster peace and reconciliation
in Northern Ireland and the affected border areas of the
Republic of Ireland.
(4) The United States has been a generous and faithful
donor to the International Fund, contributing more than
$386,000,000 to help improve relations between Catholics and
Protestants in Northern Ireland through the creation of
thousands of jobs and the development of business opportunities
that allow Catholics and Protestants to work together.
(5) More than 80 percent of the International Fund's
investments have been in disadvantaged areas. Programs funded
by the investments offer work experience and important job
training programs to disadvantaged and unemployed youth through
the economic, social, and physical regeneration of such areas.
(6) The International Fund has also developed a series of
community-building programs promoting greater dialogue and
understanding between Catholics and Protestants and leadership
programs designed to develop a new generation of leaders in
Northern Ireland to bring about a more peaceful and prosperous
future in the region.
(7) Section 2(b) of the Anglo-Irish Agreement Support Act
of 1986 (Public Law 99-415; 100 Stat. 947), states that the
purpose of the United States contributions to the International
Fund is to support the promotion of ''reconciliation in
Northern Ireland and the establishment of a society in Northern
Ireland in which all may live in peace, free from
discrimination, terrorism, and intolerance, and with the
opportunity for both communities to participate fully in the
structures and processes of government''.
(8) United States assistance to the International Fund has
contributed greatly to the economic development of Northern
Ireland and to accomplishing the objectives of the Anglo-Irish
Agreement Support Act of 1986, economic development and
reconciliation, which are critical to achieving a just and
lasting peace in the region, especially in the economically
depressed areas of Northern Ireland.
(9) The Agreement Reached in the Multi-Party Negotiations
in Belfast on April 10, 1998 (the ''Good Friday Agreement'')
created the Northern Ireland Executive Assembly and Executive
Committee and provided for a ''democratically elected Assembly
in Northern Ireland which is inclusive in its membership,
capable of exercising executive and legislative authority, and
subject to safeguards to protect the rights and interests of
all sides of the community''.
(10) The Good Friday Agreement also called for police
reform and establishment of a ''new beginning'' in policing in
Northern Ireland with an effective, accountable, and fair
police service capable of attracting and sustaining support
from the community as a whole, capable of maintaining law
and order, and based on principles of protection of human rights.
(11) In 1999, the Independent Commission on Policing in
Northern Ireland, a commission required by the Good Friday
Agreement, made 175 recommendations for policing reform in
Northern Ireland, some of which have been implemented.
(12) In 2002, the Department of State issued a report
required by section 701(d) of the Foreign Relations
Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-228; 116
Stat. 1419), entitled ''Report on Policing Reform and Human
Rights in Northern Ireland''. The report concluded that a new
police training facility and an increase in funding for police
training programs were critically needed in Northern Ireland.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) although there has been positive economic development
in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, the
United States should continue to contribute to the
International Fund to support much needed programs in
economically depressed areas of Northern Ireland as such
programs remain very important to accomplishing the objectives
of the Anglo-Irish Agreement Support Act of 1986;
(2) the United States should support an expansion of
reconciliation projects funded by the International Fund as a
way to promote peace and economic stability in Northern
Ireland; and
(3) as policing reform is a significant part of winning
public confidence and acceptance of the new form of government
in Northern Ireland, the International Fund should support
programs to enhance relations between communities and between
the police officers and the communities served by such
officers, promote human rights training for police officers,
and enhance peaceful mediation in neighborhoods of continued
conflict.
