Summary of Estimates
The Committee recommendation for the fiscal year 2011
budget for the activities under the jurisdiction of the
Subcommittee on the Department of State, Foreign Operations,
and Related Programs is $54,056,000,000 in new discretionary
budget authority, which is $5,292,000,000 above the fiscal year
2010 enacted level and $2,590,643,000 below the fiscal year
2011 budget request. An additional $158,900,000 is for
mandatory spending.
INTRODUCTION
The Committee believes that in a time of large budget
deficits the Department of State, USAID, and other Federal
departments and agencies administering funds appropriated in
this act should ensure that funds are used to the greatest
effect to protect U.S. security interests and strengthen
democratic institutions, civil society, and market economies in
foreign countries. The design, implementation, and oversight of
foreign assistance programs should be conducted with the full
participation and support of national or local governments and/
or civil society organizations. The Department of State and
USAID should review all bilateral and multilateral programs to
determine the cost effectiveness of ongoing activities. The
Committee is concerned that too often programs are not well
coordinated and the measure of ``success'' is the amount of
funds expended, rather than the results achieved. Programs
which fail to meet clear and achievable goals and objectives
should be terminated.
The Committee is aware that due to severe budget
constraints, funding for new initiatives in global health,
agriculture and food security, climate change, and other areas
are invariably forced to compete for funds with ongoing
assistance programs. The Committee notes that USAID, the
Department of State, and the Broadcasting Board of Governors
have authority to reprogram prior-year unobligated balances to
address priority needs.
COUNTRIES OF SPECIAL CONCERN
The Committee notes that a significant portion of total
United States foreign assistance is being provided to three
countries in support of United States efforts to combat
international terrorism: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. The
Committee is aware that these countries currently have
pipelines of unobligated prior-year funds, and that the rate of
disbursement of funds is affected by security threats,
corruption, ethnic and tribal rivalries, and limited absorptive
capacity.
The Committee recognizes that the difficult social,
economic, political, and security challenges these countries
face will take many years to address. Substantial investments
of U.S. taxpayer funds have been made, but the results have too
often fallen short, and in some instances far short, of
expectations. The Committee expects the administration to
define clear, achievable goals, benchmarks for measuring
progress, and to disburse funds in an accountable manner.
Priority should be given to strengthening the capacity of
government institutions and civil society to achieve
sustainable results, and ensuring that programs are carried out
in ways that promote respect for democratic values and human
rights.
AFGHANISTAN
The Committee recommends $660,623,000 for Department of
State operations in Afghanistan, including $247,345,000 to
increase diplomatic presence through additional Foreign Service
Officers and locally employed staff.
The Committee recommends a total of $2,631,500,000 for
assistance for Afghanistan, including $2,100,000,000 under the
ESF heading, $400,000,000 under the INCLE heading, $65,000,000
under the GHCS heading, $65,000,000 under the NADR heading, and
$1,500,000 under the IMET heading. The Committee recommends not
less than $20,000,000 for the Afghan Civilian Assistance
Program under the ESF heading to assist individuals and
communities that suffer losses as a result of military
operations, and directs USAID to consult with the Committee on
the use of funds prior to obligation.
The Committee continues conditions on assistance which seek
to increase the effectiveness of aid provided, prioritize the
role of women, and strengthen transparency and accountability.
No funds appropriated by this act may be made available for a
permanent basing rights agreement between the United States and
Afghanistan.
The Committee recognizes that security and sustainable
development are necessary to achieve stability in Afghanistan.
Unfortunately, widespread insecurity is hampering development
efforts, and USAID and other U.S. Government civilians and
implementing contractors and NGOs are limited in their ability
to carry out and oversee programs. Recognizing that the current
circumstances require taking risks and that not all programs
will succeed, the Committee cautions that smaller projects,
with an emphasis on local capacity building, have the best
chance of producing cost-effective, sustainable results.
The Committee remains concerned with the impact of
corruption on security and sustainable development in
Afghanistan, and conditions budget support on a Secretary of
State certification that the Government of Afghanistan is
taking credible steps to combat corruption, including arresting
and prosecuting individuals alleged to be involved in corrupt
practices.
PAKISTAN
The Committee recommends $92,574,000 for Department of
State operations in Pakistan, including $38,623,000 to increase
diplomatic presence through additional Foreign Service Officers
and locally employed staff. This amount also includes
$11,450,000 for public diplomacy initiatives, including
expanded English language teaching and enhanced communications
and journalism programs to counter violent extremism.
The Committee recommends a total of $2,477,100,000 for
assistance for Pakistan, including $1,100,000,000 under the ESF
heading, $900,000,000 under the PCCF heading, $271,000,000
under the FMF heading, $125,000,000 under the INCLE heading,
$55,000,000 under the GHCS heading, $22,000,000 under the NADR
heading, and $4,100,000 under the IMET heading. The Committee
recommends not less than $10,000,000 for the Pakistan Civilian
Assistance Program under the ESF heading to assist individuals
and communities that suffer losses as a result of military
operations, and directs USAID to consult with the Committee on
the use of funds prior to obligation.
The Committee continues current conditions on assistance
including for budget support for the Government of Pakistan.
The Committee recommends continuing and expanding programs
and activities that support the development of independent
media, including radio and television, in Pakistan and
Afghanistan. The Committee encourages the Department of State
to more aggressively work with Pakistani entities to promote
democracy and human rights in that country.
IRAQ
The Committee recommends $1,615,600,000 for Department of
State operations in Iraq to support the planned transition from
a military to a civilian United States presence. This includes
$639,663,000 to transition security support responsibilities to
the Department of State from the Department of Defense.
The Committee recommends a total of $529,000,000 for
assistance for Iraq, including $200,000,000 under the ESF
heading, $300,000,000 under the INCLE heading, $27,000,000
under the NADR heading, and $2,000,000 under the IMET heading.
Funds appropriated by this act for security programs in
Iraq may only be made available if the Secretary of State
certifies that the Government of Iraq has committed to
contributing to, and sustaining, such programs. Conditions in
prior appropriations acts are continued, including cost-
matching requirements and restrictions on assistance to enter
into a permanent basing rights agreement between the United
States and Iraq.
The Committee notes that since 2003, the United States has
provided more than $53,000,000,000 for Iraq relief and
reconstruction, and that today the Government of Iraq is
responsible for the social, economic, and political development
of the country. Iraq has made notable progress since the
removal of Saddam Hussein, and the Committee expects future
budget requests to reflect a significant phase down of
Department of State operations and United States assistance for
Iraq, excluding democracy and rule of law activities. The
Committee continues to support the Marla Ruzicka Iraqi War
Victims Fund to assist civilian victims of conflict, and the
transition of this program to an Iraqi-run entity.
TITLE I
DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND RELATED AGENCY
DEPARTMENT OF STATE
The Committee recommends a total of $17,456,011,000 for the
Department of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors.
Administration of Foreign Affairs
DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PROGRAMS
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $8,227,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................\1\9,545,221,000
Committee recommendation................................ 9,600,000,000
\1\Includes $3,021,000 requested for Agency Acquisition Workforces under
the General Provisions heading.
The Committee recommends $9,600,000,000 for Diplomatic and
Consular Programs, which is $54,779,000 above the budget
request and $1,373,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level. Of
this amount, $1,681,000,000 is for worldwide security
protection and $561,971,000 is for public diplomacy activities.
The Committee recommendation separates the functions funded
under this heading to provide more transparency in the uses of
funds. However, the Department of State may reprogram funds as
necessary, subject to consultation with the Committee.
Consular Fee Retention.--The Committee notes that the
absence of authorizing language to expand the Department of
State's authority to retain consular fees for its operations
results in an immediate reduction of $634,000,000 from the
budget request. The Committee provides $460,000,000 under the
D&CP heading to support overseas staffing and operations costs
that were proposed to be funded by these consular fees to
mitigate the impact of this reduction, and strongly recommends
that the administration refrain from assuming the retention of
these consular fees in the fiscal year 2012 budget request.
Human Resources.--The Committee recommends $2,597,472,000
for all American salaries at overseas and domestic United
States diplomatic missions. While the Committee is not able to
fund the additional new positions and associated training
requested under the Human Resources Initiatives except in the
bureaus of Near Eastern Affairs and South Central Asian
Affairs, the Committee will consider reallocation of funds
under the D&CP heading to support additional positions.
Overseas Programs.--The Committee recommends $3,504,493,000
for the operational programs of regional bureaus of the
Department of State. Regional bureaus are responsible for
managing U.S. foreign policy through bilateral and multilateral
relationships. Funds support U.S. Embassies, consulates, and
other diplomatic posts worldwide.
Diplomatic Policy and Support.--The Committee recommends
$896,028,000 for the operational programs of the functional
bureaus of the Department of State to provide overall policy
direction, coordination, and program management among U.S.
missions abroad. The Committee does not provide funding for
Blair House renovations. However, the Committee will consider a
proposal from the Department to fund this project through a
reprioritization of existing domestic facilities projects and
reprogramming of funds.
Security Programs.--The Committee recommends $2,602,007,000
for the operation of security programs, including
$1,431,685,000 for worldwide security protection to protect
diplomatic personnel, overseas diplomatic missions, residences,
and domestic facilities and information. An additional
$249,315,000 is included within the Human Resources function
for salaries to make up the total amount in this act for
Worldwide Security Protection, $1,681,000,000.
Funds are allocated in the following table and subject to
the requirements of section 7019 of this act:

PROGRAM ISSUES
Airwing.--The Committee expects the Department of State and
USAID to continue to follow the Afghanistan airwing directives,
including inter-agency coordination and communications
interoperability, contained in Public Law 111-32.
Acquisition Improvement Initiative.--The Committee
recommends $2,000,000 under this heading for the
administration's acquisition workforce improvement, which is
$1,020,745 below the budget request.
Cultural Heritage.--The Committee recommends $10,250,000
for this program, including $1,000,000 for the Cultural
Antiquities Task Force. This also includes $3,500,000 requested
under the ESF heading for the GE initiative to support up to
six large-scale projects to preserve cultural heritage sites.
In addition, the Committee recommends $5,750,000 to continue
this program worldwide and includes funds for up to five large-
scale projects. The Department of State should consult with the
Committee prior to the obligation of funds.
Diplomatic Security.--The Committee does not recommend
$17,000,000 for the continued expansion of the Foreign Affairs
Security Training Center. While initially funded in Public Law
111-5, the Department has been unable to initiate this project
in a timely manner and is still considering possible locations
for the facility. Until a location is selected and the
Department has finalized plans for the initial phase of the
facility, the Committee does not believe the Department can
adequately justify an additional $17,000,000 for this purpose
in fiscal year 2011.
Human Rights Vetting.--The Committee supports the
Department of State's efforts to monitor U.S. military training
and equipment provided to foreign security forces, but is
concerned that the vetting process is uneven among U.S.
Embassies and falls short in some countries where the military
or police have a history of violating human rights with
impunity. The Committee recommends not less than $2,000,000 for
DRL for personnel, training, and other support to strengthen
the vetting process. This includes developing the procedures
specified in section 7034(s) of this act.
Information Technology.--The Committee provides
$289,591,000 for IT salaries and programs, including for
cybersecurity, and encourages the Department of State to
coordinate such activities with USAID and other Federal
agencies, as appropriate. Given the inherent international
functions of diplomacy and development, the Committee believes
the Department of State and USAID to be particularly vulnerable
to cyber attacks.
International Cooperative Administrative Support
Services.--The Committee directs the Comptroller General of the
United States to conduct a review of the ICASS system, to
include: (1) a determination of the impact of the
implementation of the recommendations in Report GAO-04-511
``Embassy Management: Actions Are Needed to Increase Efficiency
and Improve Delivery of Administrative Support Services'',
including an evaluation of whether ICASS is cost-efficient and
reduces administrative redundancies; (2) an evaluation of the
Department of State and USAID's efforts to consolidate overseas
administrative services through ICASS; (3) a review of the
impact of the increased operating and maintenance costs of new
Embassy compounds on ICASS service costs, and an evaluation of
the sustainability of these costs for ICASS customer agencies;
and (4) an evaluation of ICASS customer satisfaction, including
the validity and reliability of the annual ICASS customer
satisfaction survey.
Labor Officers.--The Committee is concerned that many Labor
Officer positions at U.S. Embassies have been downgraded and
some are not used for their designated function. Labor Officers
play a critical role in reporting on worker rights, including
the worst forms of child labor, human trafficking, freedom of
association, and working conditions among key trading partners.
The Committee supports additional personnel and funding to
strengthen diplomacy on labor issues.
Mid-career Pilot Program.--The Committee is aware of the
dearth of mid-career Foreign Service Officers at the Department
of State, and directs the Secretary of State, in consultation
with the Committee, to implement a pilot program to recruit,
hire, and train mid-career professionals for the Foreign
Service.
Locally Employed Staff.--The Committee recommends
$773,479,000 for LES salaries (excluding those under the Local
Guard Program), and authorizes the use of such funds for awards
and special benefits, including compensation should LES be
killed in the line of duty.
Office of Global Women's Issues.--The Committee recommends
$2,500,000 for the Office of Global Women's Issues in fiscal
year 2011.
Property Inventory.--The Committee directs that prior to
purchasing equipment including vehicles and cell phones, the
Secretary of State report to the Committee that the Department
has taken effective steps to improve its property inventory
procedure, and rescinds $5,000,000 from unobligated prior-year
balances under this heading. The Committee believes that the
Department can save at least $5,000,000 through improved
property inventory controls and management of its prior-year
unliquidated obligations based on findings from two OIG
reports, ``MERO-A-10-07, Audit of Property Accountability at
Embassy Baghdad'' and ``ISP-I-10-05, The Bureau of
Administration's Office of Real Property Management and Office
of Facilities Management Services'' and the independent
auditors' fiscal year 2009 report. The findings indicate
widespread, persistent problems with accurately tracking and
managing Department property and equipment as well as poor
management of unliquidated obligations that has potentially
resulted in unnecessary expenditures and inefficient use of
funds. The OIG audit of the Embassy Baghdad found a number of
unliquidated obligations that could be cancelled and reused and
the independent auditors stated that in fiscal year 2009
approximately $171,000,000 in unliquidated obligations should
have been deobligated.
Office of Defense Trade Controls Licensing.--The Department
proposed funding an additional 12 positions in the Office of
Defense Trade Controls Licensing through the expanded use of
registration fees, but this expanded use has not yet been
authorized. The Committee directs the Department to ensure that
the office has the necessary budget and staff to fulfill its
responsibilities in a timely and effective manner.
Public Diplomacy.--The Committee recommends a total of
$561,971,000 for public diplomacy programs, to be funded
through direct appropriations and an additional $763,436,000
through Department of State fees. The Committee provides
$14,356,000 to establish up to 10 new American Centers at
locations around the world and to develop several American
Center models to meet different local interests, preferences,
and security conditions. The Committee supports continued
funding by the Office of Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs
for new media programming for targeted Arabic language
television programs, to foster cultural, educational, and
professional dialogues through indigenous Arabic language
satellite media.
Tibet.--The Committee continues to recognize the important
role played by the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues in
implementing Tibet programs and policies, and urges the
Secretary of State to provide support for the Coordinator in
carrying out the broad responsibilities detailed in section
621(d) of Public Law 107-228, as well as for convening
coordinating meetings for appropriate U.S. Government agencies,
NGOs, and representatives of the Tibetan leadership.
Videoconference Interviews.--Section 7034(z) of this act
directs the Secretary of State to develop and conduct a pilot
program for processing tourist visas using secure remote
videoconferencing technology as a method for conducting visa
interviews of applicants. The Secretary is also directed to
submit the report requested in the joint statement accompanying
Public Law 111-8 on the implementation of a program to expand
access to consular services through the use of alternative
interview techniques including videoconferencing. The Committee
directs the Department to allocate sufficient funds to
implement section 7034(z) of this act.
Trafficking in Persons.--The Committee recommends a total
of $51,692,000 in this act for Trafficking in Persons programs.
Of this amount, $6,410,000 is included under the D&CP heading
for the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons
($3,149,000 for programs and $3,261,000 for salaries), which is
$396,000 below the budget request.
Of the total provided to the O/TIP, not less than $100,000
should be used to meet unexpected urgent needs to prevent
trafficking in persons or protect victims of trafficking. These
funds are intended to enhance the capacity of the O/TIP to
assist victims and support governments facing urgent protection
needs, including risk assessment, shelter, food and other basic
necessities, counseling, medical services, legal services,
travel documentation, safe transport arrangements for return
and reintegration, or for participation in judicial
proceedings, and reception and resettlement arrangements.
Emergency trafficking assistance may be considered for use in a
country that is on tier II or below in the Department of
State's most recent Trafficking in Persons report and when a
local or national government requests or agrees to such
assistance and demonstrates the will to participate in the
emergency response. The Department is directed to report to the
Committee no later than September 30, 2011 on the use of these
funds.
REPORT
Security Contractors.--The Committee directs the Secretary
of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, to
submit a report not later than 180 days after enactment of this
act on private security contractors serving at U.S. missions in
war zones where the U.S. Armed Forces are engaged in combat
operations. The report shall describe the number, cost, and
duties of such contractors; the number of personnel assigned to
oversee them; the cost of filling those positions with military
or other U.S. Government personnel; the estimated length of
time it would take to replace such contractors with Government
personnel; and the advantages and disadvantages of replacing
the contractors with Government personnel. The Committee
further directs that not later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of this act, the Director of the Congressional Budget
Office shall submit a report estimating the cost of replacing
such contractors with Government personnel.
CIVILIAN STABILIZATION INITIATIVE
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Appropriations, 2010.................................... \1\$120,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 184,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 50,000,000
\1\An additional $30,000,000 was provided for CSI in title II in fiscal
year 2010.
The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for the Civilian
Stabilization Initiative, which is $134,000,000 below the
budget request and $70,000,000 below the fiscal year 2010
level.
The Committee recommends hiring not more than 200 active
CSI personnel in fiscal year 2011, and is concerned with the
plan to hire 2,243 standby CSI personnel. The Committee
questions the Department's ability to effectively deploy such a
large number of personnel and urges the Department to
reconsider its plan to ensure that it is realistic and
affordable.
The Committee continues to believe that the success of CSI
can best be achieved through a gradual stand up and
implementation and is concerned that CSI has not been
adequately integrated into the overall United States response
to crises and disasters, including in Haiti and Kyrgyzstan. The
Committee is also concerned that the timelines for hiring,
training, and deployment of its civilian corps have been overly
ambitious and unrealistic. The Committee does not include
funding for deployments and encourages the Department of State
and USAID to utilize funds from the Complex Crisis Fund and
other crisis and disaster response funds for this purpose. The
Committee does not support the request for the acquisition of
new space or the additional 14 positions to support an expanded
Reconstruction and Stabilization coordination and management
function. The Committee includes $1,100,000 for the Civilian
Deployment Center which the Committee understands is the
updated estimate for the cost of operating the center.
Funds appropriated under this heading may not be made
available for obligation until the Secretary of State submits a
report to the Committee clarifying the role of CSI in
international crisis response, providing lessons learned since
CSI's inception, and detailing how CSI efforts are coordinated
with those of other U.S. Government agencies, particularly
USAID and the Department of Defense.
The Committee notes, and supports, the administration's
decision to not request funding for a CRC reserve component.
The Committee will consider such funding only after the CSI has
established a record of effective operations and can
demonstrate programmatic accomplishments.
CAPITAL INVESTMENT FUND
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $139,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 144,100,000
Committee recommendation................................ 139,000,000
The Committee recommends $139,000,000 for the Capital
Investment Fund, which is $5,100,000 below to the budget
request.
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $102,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 120,152,000
Committee recommendation................................ 115,000,000
The Committee recommends $115,000,000 for the Office of
Inspector General, which is $5,152,000 below the budget
request, of which $30,287,000 is for the Special Inspector
General for Afghanistan Reconstruction and $22,000,000 is for
the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction. The
Committee supports the independent oversight and investigative
responsibilities of the Inspectors General of the Department of
State, USAID, SIGAR, and SIGIR and directs the Inspectors
General to coordinate their activities in Iraq and Afghanistan
to minimize unnecessary duplication, ensuring that resources
are used effectively.
REPORT
Implementation of Recommendations.--The Committee is
concerned with persistent reports that SIGAR is not meeting
quality standards for investigations and audits, and directs
SIGAR to report to the Committee within 45 days of enactment of
this act on the implementation of the recommendations included
in the July 14, 2010 Council of the Inspectors General on
Integrity and Efficiency review of SIGAR and on the proposed
uses of funds provided in this act.
EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $635,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 633,200,000
Committee recommendation................................ 654,277,000
The Committee recommends $654,277,000 for Educational and
Cultural Exchange Programs, which is $21,077,000 above the
budget request under this heading.
Funds are allocated in the following table and subject to
the requirements of section 7019 of this act:

Every program for which the Committee recommends funding in
the previous table is established pursuant to an act of
Congress, or is a program for which funding is authorized by an
act of Congress, or was included in the President's budget
request for fiscal year 2011.
Youth Exchange.--The Committee supports the goals of the
Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program, which enables
secondary school students from countries with significant
Muslim populations to live with American families and study in
the United States, and American students to live and study in
such countries. The Committee recommends $25,500,000 for this
program in fiscal year 2011.
Global Engagement.--The Committee recommends $13,500,000,
of which up to $1,250,000 may be used for program support, for
exchange programs requested under the ESF heading for the GE
initiative. The Committee understands that these funds will be
used to expand exchanges and English language programs in
Muslim-majority countries and Muslim communities worldwide. The
Committee does not support the request to reallocate
$15,519,000 from exchange programs in other regions worldwide
to support exchanges with Pakistan ($8,000,000) and other
Muslim-majority countries ($7,519,000). The Committee directs
the Department to submit a spend plan by country prior to
obligating the funds under this heading.
One-time International Exchange Grant Program.--The
Committee recommends $8,500,000 to provide one-time competitive
grants for international exchanges that address issues of
mutual interest to the United States and other countries,
consistent with the criteria established in fiscal year 2008.
This program shall be only for the actual exchange of people
and should benefit a population that is not being addressed
through existing exchanges. The Secretary of State shall submit
a report to the Committee of those organizations that are
eligible for a grant and, not later than September 1, 2011, a
report describing the grant recipients and intended uses of
funds.
The Committee encourages the Department to utilize this
program to expand international exchanges in areas that are not
predominantly served by other U.S. Government exchange
programs, such as exchange with developing countries; community
leaders who would not traditionally have an opportunity to
participate in an exchange; students and youth with high
financial need; and indigenous and other minority ethnic
groups. Exchange programs eligible for consideration for a one-
time grant in fiscal year 2011 include, but are not limited to,
Sister Cities International; University of Iowa; Lower
Manhattan Arts Leaders; Middlebury College; University of
Montana; Northeast Asia Economic Forum; Tufts University; and
Morehouse College. The Committee notes that an exchange program
that received a one-time grant in a previous year is ineligible
for additional one-time funding, but the Committee encourages
the Department to consider new proposals from previously funded
grantees within discretionary funding if they meet appropriate
guidelines.
REPRESENTATION ALLOWANCES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $8,175,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 8,175,000
Committee recommendation................................ 8,175,000
The Committee recommends $8,175,000 for Representation
Allowances, which is equal to the budget request, for
reimbursement to Foreign Service Officers for expenditures
incurred in their official capacities abroad in establishing
and maintaining relations with officials of foreign governments
and members of local communities. The Committee recommends that
not more than $500,000 of the funds made available under this
account and under the Emergencies in the Diplomatic and
Consular Service heading may be made available for official
representation funds for the Office of the Chief of Protocol.
PROTECTION OF FOREIGN MISSIONS AND OFFICIALS
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $28,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 27,200,000
Committee recommendation................................ 31,500,000
The Committee recommends $31,500,000 for Protection of
Foreign Missions and Officials, which is $4,300,000 above the
budget request, to reimburse local governments and communities
for the extraordinary costs incurred in providing protection
for international organizations, foreign missions and
officials, and foreign dignitaries under certain circumstances.
Of this amount, the Committee provides $4,300,000 for
security-related costs associated with the APEC 2011 meetings
hosted by the United States. The funds may be used to reimburse
State and local police agencies for providing security for
visiting foreign officials and their delegations attending APEC
meetings.
The Committee intends that in instances where a local
jurisdiction will benefit financially from a visit by a foreign
delegation, such circumstances should be taken into account by
the Department in assessing the need for reimbursement under
this program. The Committee expects the Department to provide
reimbursement to local jurisdictions on a timely basis if
claims are fully justified.
EMBASSY SECURITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $1,815,050,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 1,681,500,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,848,164,000
The Committee recommends $1,848,164,000 for Embassy
Security, Construction, and Maintenance for the management of
real property assets overseas in order to provide diplomatic
and consular missions with secure, safe, and functional
facilities, of which $914,082,000 is for maintenance and
planning for Department of State facilities and $934,082,000 is
for worldwide security upgrades, acquisition, and construction
program.
Consular Fees.--The Committee includes $174,000,000 to
support ESCM and worldwide security upgrade program costs
proposed to be funded by the expanded retention of consular
fees.
American Centers.--The Committee continues to support the
renovation and construction of American Centers through a
strategy that balances the need for publicly accessible
facilities, reasonable and sustainable costs, and compliance
with the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act
of 1999 regulations, and encourages continued coordination by
the offices of Overseas Building Operations, Diplomatic
Security and Public Diplomacy to achieve this strategy. The
Committee supports funding construction and renovation costs
for American Centers within the OBO budget and will consider a
transfer from the $14,356,000 provided under the D&CP heading
for this purpose, and expects the administration to request
adequate funds within the OBO budget for such purposes in the
fiscal year 2012 request.
Soft Targets.--The Committee recommends $6,500,000 for
security enhancement to soft targets such as overseas schools
and residential compounds, which is equal to the budget
request.
EMERGENCIES IN THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $10,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 11,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 11,000,000
The Committee recommends $11,000,000 for Emergencies in the
Diplomatic and Consular Service, which is equal to the budget
request, to meet unforeseen emergency requirements as
authorized by section 4 of the State Department Basic
Authorities Act. The Committee encourages the Department to
prioritize expenditures for evacuations and rewards and to
minimize the use of this fund for travel and representational
expenses.
In addition to the funds appropriated under this heading,
the Committee authorizes transfer of up to $15,000,000 under
the D&CP heading for emergency evacuations and rewards,
including for information leading to the apprehension of
Mexican narcotics traffickers, which is $5,000,000 above the
budget request.
REPATRIATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $1,450,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 1,450,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,450,000
The Committee recommends $1,450,000 for the Repatriation
Loans Program Account, which is equal to the budget request, to
support a direct loan program in accordance with the Credit
Reform Act which assists United States citizens overseas in
dire need.
PAYMENT TO THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE IN TAIWAN
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $21,174,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 21,420,000
Committee recommendation................................ 21,420,000
The Committee recommends $21,420,000 for the American
Institute in Taiwan, which is equal to the budget request, to
support United States political and security interests, provide
consular services, and promote exchange programs in Taiwan.
PAYMENT TO THE FOREIGN SERVICE RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY FUND
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $158,900,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 158,900,000
Committee recommendation................................ 158,900,000
The Committee recommends $158,900,000 for the Foreign
Service Retirement and Disability Fund, which is equal to the
budget request, for Department of State and USAID mandatory
retirement and disability programs.
International Organizations
CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $1,682,500,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 1,595,430,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,575,430,000
The Committee recommends $1,575,430,000 for Contributions
to International Organizations, which is $20,000,000 below the
budget request due to exchange rate savings, for the assessed
costs of U.S. membership in international organizations as
authorized by conventions, treaties, or specific acts of
Congress. The Committee notes that the United States has
participated in many international organizations for decades,
many of which serve important U.S. national interests but some
may no longer be cost-effective. The Committee directs the
Department of State to conduct a rigorous review of all such
organizations, and for any which no longer merit U.S.
contributions to promptly initiate steps to withdraw.
CONTRIBUTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $2,125,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 2,182,300,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,126,382,000
The Committee recommends $2,126,382,000 for Contributions
for International Peacekeeping Activities. An additional
$55,918,000 is included under the PKO heading for a
contribution for assessed peacekeeping activities in Somalia.
The Committee recognizes the indispensable contribution to
international peace and stability provided by U.N. peacekeeping
activities, without the participation of U.S. troops. The
Committee also notes, however, that U.N. peacekeeping missions
have often suffered from deficiencies, including inadequate
equipment to effectively protect civilians, troops without
proper training or with a history of human rights violations,
and troops that have sexually abused women and girls while on
peacekeeping missions. The United Nations, donor countries, and
troop-contributing countries have a shared responsibility to
ensure that troops are qualified and properly trained and
equipped for the missions for which they are deployed. The
Committee requires the Secretary of State to certify that
effective procedures exist to vet prospective U.N. peacekeeping
troops.
The Committee directs that funds shall be available for
peacekeeping activities unless the Secretary of State
determines that American manufacturers and suppliers are not
being given opportunities to provide equipment, services, and
material for U.N. peacekeeping activities equal to those being
given to foreign manufacturers and suppliers.
Cyprus.--The Committee recommends support for U.N.
peacekeeping at the assessed level for the current year in
Cyprus.
International Commissions
The Committee recommends funding to fully meet U.S. treaty
obligations to international commissions in fiscal year 2011
and recognizes that funds are requested under the Department of
State as a result of international treaties.
INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND WATER COMMISSION, UNITED STATES AND MEXICO
SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Budget estimate, 2011................................... 47,431,000
Committee recommendation................................ 47,431,000
The Committee recommends $47,431,000 for salaries and
expenses, which is equal to the budget request.
CONSTRUCTION
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $43,250,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 26,900,000
Committee recommendation................................ 26,900,000
The Committee recommends $26,900,000 for construction,
which is equal to the budget request.

Budget estimate, 2011................................... 12,355,000
Committee recommendation................................ 12,655,000
The Committee recommends $12,655,000 for American Sections,
of which $2,422,000 is for the International Boundary
Commission, $7,931,000 is for the International Joint
Commission which includes $300,000 to expand the Upper Great
Lakes study to include additional modeling of changing water
levels and the impacts of climate change on the lakes, and
$2,302,000 is for the Border Environment Cooperation
Commission, which is equal to the budget request. These funds
support environmental infrastructure projects along the United
States-Mexico border relating to wastewater treatment, drinking
water preservation, solid waste management, and air quality
improvement.
Flathead River Basin.--The Committee supports efforts to
protect the North Fork of the Flathead River from the effects
of oil, gas, and other mining development. The Committee
expects the Department of State to work with the Department of
the Interior to negotiate with the Government of Canada to
establish an agreement that permanently protects the Flathead
River Watershed and the adjacent area of Glacier-Waterton
National Park as soon as possible. The Committee also supports
the International Joint Commission's recommendation that Canada
and the United States continue to collect ecological data
concerning this area.
INTERNATIONAL FISHERIES COMMISSIONS
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $53,976,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 43,600,000
Committee recommendation................................ 51,500,000
The Committee recommends $51,500,000 for the International
Fisheries Commissions, which is $7,900,000 above the budget
request. Within the amount provided for GLFC, $3,500,000 is for
lamprey control and water quality improvements in the Lake
Champlain Basin and $4,400,000 is for sea lamprey control and
fishery research for the Great Lakes Basin.
Funds are allocated in the following table and subject to
the requirements of section 7019 of this act:

Afghanistan and Pakistan.--The Committee recommends up to
$24,815,000 for Pashto and Dari broadcasts targeted toward
Afghanistan and northwest Pakistan.
Broadcast Transmission and Distribution.--The Committee
does not support closing the Greenville Transmitting Station in
North Carolina, or the request for expanded FM (including six
additional FMs for Radio Sawa), digital, and new media efforts.
While the Committee does support the BBG's efforts to expand
into new technologies, the Committee is concerned that closing
Greenville may be premature given the continued viability of
shortwave in Africa, the use of shortwave for broadcasts to
Cuba and Latin America, including surge broadcasts to Haiti, as
well as Greenville's capacity to provide contingency and backup
capabilities to the BBG network worldwide. The Committee
recommends $650,000 within Engineering and Technical Services
to support the upgrade of the Network Control Center.
Internet Programs.--The Committee recognizes the BBG's
efforts to expand access to information and communications
tools such as collaborative media and social networking to
Internet users worldwide, including in closed societies subject
to monitoring and censorship, and encourages the BBG to
evaluate emerging online broadcasting and communication methods
to reach these audiences. The Committee provides $1,000,000 to
support expanded Internet anti-censorship efforts, in addition
to funds otherwise made available for such purposes.
North Korea.--The Committee recommends not less than
$8,000,000 for broadcasting into North Korea through RFA Korea
Service and VOA Korea Service, which is equal to the fiscal
year 2010 level.
Tibet.--The Committee recommends sufficient funding to
continue RFA and VOA Tibetan language services.
Cuba.--The Committee notes that the joint statement
accompanying Public Law 111-117 directed the BBG to submit to
the Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of
that act a multi-year strategic plan for broadcasting to Cuba
to include an analysis of options for disseminating news and
information to Cuba and a report on the cost effectiveness of
each, and an analysis of the program efficiencies and
effectiveness that can be achieved through shared resources and
cost-saving opportunities between Radio and TV Marti and the
Voice of America. The Committee has not received this report
and does not support closing the Greenville Station, expanding
TV Marti's transmission on DirecTV, or the request included
under the Broadcasting Capital Improvements heading to expand
and renovate the TV Marti studio until a strategy is submitted
to the Committee, and the Comptroller General has conducted an
assessment of the strategic plan.
Middle East Broadcasting Networks.--The Committee provides
$114,614,000 for the Middle East Broadcasting Networks,
$2,848,000 below the request. The Committee is concerned with
the steadily increasing costs of MBN operations and the
sustainability of this program.
REPORT
Revenue from Privatization and Commercial Efforts.--The
Committee understands that the BBG is utilizing the authority
in current law to collect receipts from advertising and revenue
from business ventures and cooperating international
organizations. The Committee directs the BBG to submit a report
within 90 days of enactment of this act describing the BBG's
past, current, and planned uses of this authority, the revenue
generated and receipts collected by fiscal year, and the uses
of such revenue.
BROADCASTING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $12,622,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 13,635,000
Committee recommendation................................ 6,875,000
The Committee recommends $6,875,000 for Broadcasting
Capital Improvements, which is $6,760,000 below the budget
request. The Committee recommends $3,005,000 for the upgrade of
the Network Control Center supporting satellite transmission of
85 percent of all BBG broadcasts. The Committee understands
that this upgrade will reduce the risk of broadcast outages and
will bring NCC conditions to Occupational Safety and Health
Administration standards.

requested for building security equipment and construction and
costs associated with the planning and rehabilitation of U.S.
Navy Potomac Annex Buildings 6 and 7, which should be paid for
with private funds.
Center for Middle Eastern-Western Dialogue Trust Fund
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $875,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 840,000
Committee recommendation................................ 840,000

earnings from the Center for Middle Eastern-Western Dialogue
Trust Fund for programs, scholarship, and conflict resolution
to encourage mutual understanding, and to support civil society
and democratic institutions as authorized by 22 U.S.C. 2078.
Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship Program
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $500,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 500,000
Committee recommendation................................ 500,000
The Committee recommends $500,000 from interest and
earnings from the Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship Program Trust
Fund, authorized by the Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship Act of
1990 (20 U.S.C. 5204-5205), to support U.S. and foreign
leadership development.
Israeli Arab Scholarship Program
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $375,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 375,000
Committee recommendation................................ 375,000
The Committee recommends $375,000 from interest and
earnings from the Israeli Arab Scholarship Endowment Fund,
authorized by section 214 of the Foreign Relations
Authorization Act, fiscal years 1992 and 1993 (22 U.S.C. 2452),
to increase educational opportunities for Israeli Arab students
to study and conduct research in the United States.
East-West Center
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $23,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 11,400,000
Committee recommendation................................ 23,100,000
The Committee recommends $23,100,000 for the East-West
Center, which is $11,700,000 above the request. The Committee
intends $1,650,000 to be used for programs related to APEC,
Northeast Asia relations, and democracy and justice. The
Committee does not support the East-West Center's proposal to
establish satellite offices in the Asia-Pacific region.
National Endowment for Democracy
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $118,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 105,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 125,000,000
The Committee recommends $125,000,000 for the National
Endowment for Democracy, which is $20,000,000 above the budget
request.
The Committee recognizes the experience of NED in promoting
democracy and human rights abroad since the Cold War, and
believes that NED should play a larger role in such activities.
The Committee recommends that additional funding be used to
strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations that are
peacefully advocating for democracy and human rights. USAID and
the Department of State are to coordinate other democracy
programs in those countries with NED to avoid duplication of
activities. NED should not be precluded from competitively
bidding on other grant solicitations.
NED is directed to submit a financial plan not later than
60 days after enactment of this act detailing the proposed
distribution of funds in a manner similar to prior years, to
consult with the Committee on any proposed deviation from the
plan, and to apportion core funds in the traditional and
customary fashion among core institutes.
This grant to the Department of State is a pass-through
directly to NED, and funds under this heading shall not be
subject to prior approval by the Department of State and USAID,
or to administrative or management surcharges. Minimal
expenses, if any, should be charged to general Department of
State operating expenses.
The Committee recognizes the limitation of the Department
of State and USAID to conduct effective democracy promotion
programs in challenging political environments, and notes the
complications in bilateral relations that often arise from such
activities. Therefore, the Committee transfers democracy funds
made available under the ESF heading to this heading in the
following manner: $2,000,000 for Egypt; $2,500,000 for
Pakistan; $2,000,000 for Cuba; $2,500,000 for North Korea; and
$3,500,000 for the DRC. The Department of State and USAID are
directed to reduce democracy programs in those countries by an
equal amount. The Committee recommends that the fiscal year
2012 budget request include greater utilization of NED for
democracy promotion activities abroad.
The Committee recommends $250,000 for programs and
activities in Tibet.

Committee recommendation................................ 8,239,000,000
The Committee recommends a total of $8,239,000,000 for
Global Health and Child Survival.
GLOBAL HEALTH INITIATIVE
The Committee supports the goals of the GHI to coordinate
and enhance the U.S. Government's response to global health
challenges, particularly in the areas of maternal and child
health, nutrition, vulnerable children, family planning and
reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, global
pandemics, and other infectious diseases, including neglected
tropical diseases. The Committee is concerned that the inter-
agency cooperation and coordination needed to effectively
implement this initiative does not yet exist, and directs USAID
to work in partnership with other Federal agencies,
particularly the Department of Health and Human Services and
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as with
the WHO and other international bodies, to develop effective
implementation strategies.
GHI Strategic Reserve Fund.--The Committee recommends not
more than $50,000,000 for USAID and $50,000,000 for the
Department of State for the GHI Fund, which is $100,000,000
below the request. The Committee supports the scale-up of
proven and cost-effective activities, including enhanced
monitoring and evaluation, in GHI Plus countries.
Recruitment of Health Workers.--The Committee is concerned
with the unethical recruitment of health workers in countries
that do not have sustainable public health systems. The
Committee encourages USAID and the Department of State to
support a code of conduct for the recruitment of health workers
from poorer to wealthier countries as part of the GHI, and the
WHO Voluntary Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Health
Personnel.

CHILD SURVIVAL AND MATERNAL HEALTH
The Committee recommends $641,000,000 for child and
maternal health activities under the GHCS account. The
Committee recognizes the critical role that child survival and
maternal health programs play in overall global health, and
that most deaths of children before the age of 5 and of women
from pregnancy-related causes could be prevented with low-cost
interventions by trained health workers.
Polio.--The Committee recommends $33,100,000 for programs
to eradicate polio.
Vaccines and Immunization.--The Committee recommends
$105,000,000 for a contribution to the GAVI Alliance. The GAVI
Alliance provides vaccines for children in the poorest
countries, including new vaccines against pneumococcal disease
and rotavirus.
Vulnerable Children.--The Committee recommends $15,000,000
for programs and activities that address the needs of
vulnerable children, of which not less than $2,000,000 is for
assistance for blind children. USAID should administer the
programs in a manner that delivers the maximum amount of funds
to the field, and should consider support for cleft lip and
cleft palate surgery programs.
Orphans.--Despite significant investments of U.S. funds the
number of orphans worldwide continues to rise. The Committee is
concerned that this increase is due in part to a lack of focus
on family preservation, family reunification, kinship,
guardianship, and domestic and international adoption for
reducing the number of children living outside of parental
care. The Committee directs the Special Advisor for Orphans and
Vulnerable Children and the Special Advisor to the Office of
Children's Issues to submit a report within 90 days of
enactment of this act detailing how the Department of State and
USAID plan to increase efforts to assist developing countries
in providing family-based care to orphan children, including:
(1) a description of the work to date in identifying and
replicating best practices in providing family based care; (2)
current and planned efforts to develop research-based, family-
based care pilot programs; and (3) a description of the work to
date to develop data on the number of children living outside
of parental care.
FAMILY PLANNING/REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
The Committee recommends a total of $700,000,000 from all
accounts in this act for family planning and reproductive
health programs, including $595,000,000 under the GHCS heading,
$50,000,000 under the ESF and AEECA headings, and $55,000,000
for UNFPA.
Assistance for Voluntary Family Planning.--The Committee
directs that funds made available for voluntary family planning
shall offer a broad range of family planning methods and
services.
Clarification.--The Committee does not continue to carry a
general provision specifically regarding funding for abortions
and involuntary sterilization (section 7018 of Public Law 111-
117), as all but the last sentence of that provision was
restatement of permanent law (section 104(f) of the FAA).
Instead, the Committee includes the last sentence of that
provision in section 7034(n) of this act.
HIV/AIDS
The Committee recommends a total of $5,850,000,000 for
programs and activities to combat HIV/AIDS, of which
$5,500,000,000 is for the Department of State and $350,000,000
is for USAID. This combined total is $141,000,000 above the
fiscal year 2010 level.
Antiretroviral Treatment.--The Committee notes the
increasing number of patients who qualify for antiretroviral
treatment due to the November 2009 WHO recommended standards
for treatment, and directs the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator to
re-evaluate implementation costs, including overhead, to
achieve the most cost-effective and efficient programs. The
Committee recognizes the significant treatment gap in many
PEPFAR focus countries and recommends that efficiencies
achieved from reduced treatment costs be used to provide
services to new enrollees seeking access to antiretroviral
treatment.
Global Fund.--The Committee recommends not less than
$800,000,000 for a U.S. contribution to the Global Fund to
Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which is $50,000,000
above the fiscal year 2010 level.
Mother-to-child Transmission.--The Committee continues to
support expansion of access to programs that prevent mother-to-
child transmission of HIV.
PEPFAR Partnership Frameworks.--The Committee welcomes the
emphasis in PEPFAR's 5-year strategy on addressing stigma and
discrimination against most-at-risk populations and violations
of the rights of women, and directs OGAC to address the needs
for legal and policy reform and the enforcement of such
policies in Partnership Frameworks, Partnership Framework
Implementation Plans, and Country Operational Plans.
The Committee also directs OGAC to ensure civil society is
fully engaged in developing these frameworks and plans,
including most-at-risk populations and women's organizations.
The Committee directs OGAC to consult with the Committee on
these efforts.
Reimbursements.--The Committee understands OGAC has agreed
to provide USAID reimbursements to cover direct and indirect
PEPFAR implementation costs incurred both at headquarters and
in the field, and expects OGAC and USAID to consult with the
Committee regarding fiscal year 2011 reimbursement levels in a
timely manner.
UNAIDS.--The Committee provides $45,100,000 for a U.S.
contribution to UNAIDS.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Influenza Pandemic Preparedness and Response.--The
Committee recommends $67,500,000 to prevent the spread of Avian
Influenza and the H1N1 virus.
Malaria.--The Committee recommends $635,500,000 for
programs to combat malaria. The Committee directs that these
funds be made available in accordance with country strategic
plans incorporating best public health practices including
insecticide-treated bed nets, artemisinin combination
therapies, and indoor residual spraying, and with significant
support for purchase of commodities and equipment. USAID is
encouraged to increase its investment in public-private
partnerships involved in research, development, access, and
delivery of anti-malarial medications.
The Committee is aware of the widespread prevalence of
malaria in Burma, and the lack of access to quality and
affordable diagnosis and treatment due to the failure of the
SPDC to meet the basic needs of the Burmese people. Consistent
with U.S. policy objectives, the Committee directs USAID to
provide not less than $500,000, in addition to other funds made
available for Burma under the GHCS heading, for anti-malaria
programs through international NGOs in Burma with expertise in
diagnosis and treatment, and to consult with the Committee on
the proposed use of funds.
Neglected Tropical Diseases.--The Committee recommends
$100,000,000 for programs and activities to continue and expand
support for the ongoing USAID integrated response program for
NTDs, including intestinal parasites, schistosomiasis,
lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, trachoma, soil
transmitted helminthes, and leprosy. The Committee recognizes
the burden NTDs have on mainly poor and rural populations, and
continues to support public-private partnerships that promote
research and development. The Committee requests to be
consulted prior to the obligation of funds, including country-
specific allocations.
Other Infectious Diseases.--The Committee recommends not
less than $5,000,000 to support programs in infectious disease
surveillance and response and to combat anti-microbial
resistance.
Tuberculosis.--The Committee recommends a total of
$230,000,000 for programs to combat TB. The Committee supports
the development of a new, safe, effective and affordable
vaccine to protect against all strains of TB, including MDR or
XDR. USAID should consider supporting clinical trials for TB
vaccines in developing countries.
NUTRITION
The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for nutrition
programs, of which not less than $33,000,000 is provided for
micronutrients. Funding for nutrition should include not less
than $23,000,000 for Vitamin A.
HIV/AIDS and Nutrition.--The Committee notes that nutrition
plays an important part in maintaining the quality of life for
people affected by HIV/AIDS and intends that funds under this
account be used for programs that address the development and
implementation of nutrition support, guidelines, and care
services for people living with HIV/AIDS as well as the
promotion of optimal infant feeding practices to prevent
maternal to child transmission.
Iodine Deficiency Disorder.--The Committee recommends not
less than $2,000,000 for the USAID/UNICEF IDD program. Funds
provided through the USAID partnership are preventing the
mental retardation of millions of children through programs to
iodize salt.

PROGRAMS
AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY
The Committee recommends $1,300,000,000 for the Global
Hunger and Food Security initiative (Feed the Future) from all
accounts in this act, which is $344,023,000 below the budget
request. The Committee supports the administration's efforts to
significantly increase the U.S. response to agricultural and
food security needs in the poorest countries.
The Committee is concerned with the delay in naming a
coordinator for global food security to lead the Feed the
Future initiative and recommends that the coordinator be
located at USAID as the lead agency in implementing the
initiative.
Biotechnology Research.--The Committee recommends
$35,000,000 for plant biotechnology research and development to
harness global expertise to improve food security and incomes
in Africa and Asia.
Collaborative Research Support Programs.--The Committee
recommends not less than $35,000,000 for CRSPs.
Global Crop Diversity Trust.--The Committee recommends
$12,000,000 for a U.S. contribution to the Global Crop
Diversity Trust's endowment, which seeks to ensure the
viability of agriculture worldwide by conserving and making
available collections of crop diversity.
Land Grant Institutions.--The Committee supports the role
of land grant institutions in agriculture research to assist
developing countries in improving agricultural productivity and
strengthening trade links with the United States, and to
enhance food sustainability globally.
Nutrition.--The Committee recognizes the importance of
nutrition programs as part of the Feed the Future initiative,
and notes that not less than $100,000,000 was provided under
the GHCS heading for nutrition activities as part of the Global
Health and Feed the Future initiatives.
PVOs and Cooperatives.--The Committee directs the USAID
Administrator to make grants and cooperative agreements
available for PVOs and cooperatives to carry out food security,
agriculture, and rural development programs that meet the
objectives of section 103(a)(1) of the FAA.
The Committee directs USAID to focus more of its
agriculture and rural development resources on programs that
improve infrastructure, employment opportunities and access to
services in poor, rural communities and increase the
productivity and incomes of agricultural and livestock
producers in those areas.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Cooperative Development Program.--The Committee has long
recognized the important role that U.S. cooperatives and credit
unions play in overseas programs as a means to lift low income
people out of poverty by mobilizing equity and savings for
community-based economic growth. The Committee provides
$12,000,000 for USAID's Cooperative Development Program within
the Office of Private and Voluntary Cooperation.
Microenterprise and Microfinance Development Programs.--The
Committee recommends $265,000,000 in this act for microfinance
and microenterprise development programs for the poor,
especially women. The Committee encourages investment in a
variety of financial services that allow the poor to save,
borrow, and access insurance, remittances, and other key
services. The Committee directs USAID to target half of all
microfinance and microenterprise funds to the very poor, and
increase outreach to women who are currently without financial
services.
The Committee is concerned with the decline in microfinance
assistance in Africa and directs USAID to increase its support.
The Committee encourages increased coordination between the
activities of USAID's Office of Microenterprise Development and
other USAID and Department of State programs that include
microfinance and microenterprise activities.
EDUCATION
Basic Education.--The Committee recommends $845,000,000 in
this act for basic education programs, including programs aimed
at improving early childhood development, primary and secondary
education, teacher training and basic skills training for
adults and out of school youth.
The Committee recommends up to $20,000,000 for the
Education for All Fast Track Initiative at the World Bank,
subject to prior consultation by USAID and the Department of
State with the Committee.
The Committee is aware that many children in Haiti do not
attend school and that the earthquake destroyed or damaged many
schools. The Committee recommends additional funding for school
construction and equipment and other assistance for children's
education in Haiti.
Higher Education.--The Committee recommends $245,000,000 in
this act for higher education programs, including not less than
$25,000,000 for such programs in Africa of which $15,000,000 is
for partnerships between higher education institutions in
Africa and the United States. Higher education partnerships
provide training for faculty and staff, and strengthened
institutional management such as revised administrative
procedures, new degree programs, expanded curricula, and
research opportunities. Partnerships should be funded on an
open, competitive basis, and should focus on such fields as
agriculture, environment and natural resources, engineering,
science and technology, health, education and teacher training,
public administration, and business management and economics.
American Schools and Hospitals Abroad Program.--The
Committee continues to recognize the contributions to U.S.
foreign policy by institutions funded by the ASHA program. The
Committee expects USAID to allocate sufficient sums to
administer the ASHA program from funds provided for operating
expenses, so it will not be necessary to expend program funds
for administrative purposes.
The Committee recommends $23,500,000 for the ASHA program
in fiscal year 2011, with the expectation that USAID will
allocate funds under similar terms and conditions as in prior
fiscal years. The Committee underscores that such assistance is
not for permanent budget support to ASHA recipients, and that
proposals shall be considered in full and open competition, and
in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations.
The Committee recommends that priority be given to
institutions which demonstrate a need and commitment to private
fundraising to match Government support, and to newer
applicants that demonstrate the best of American ideas and
practices in the regions they serve. The Committee recommends
USAID consider proposals from the following organizations,
among others: American University of Beirut; American Community
School, Beirut; American University in Kosovo; EARTH University
in Costa Rica; Feinberg Graduate School of the Weizmann
Institute of Science; Hadassah Medical Organization; Israel
Center for Excellence through Education; Johns Hopkins
University's Centers in Nanjing, China and Bologna, Italy;
Lebanese American University; Robert College; the American
University of Armenia; and Uganda Cancer Institute.
CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMS
The Committee recognizes the challenges posed by global
warming and the urgent need to help developing countries reduce
carbon emissions; develop clean energy and increase energy
efficiency; adapt to rising temperatures, water and food
scarcity, and rising sea levels; protect forests and other
biodiversity; and implement policies for the transparent and
sustainable use of natural resources. The Committee recommends
a total of $1,450,500,000 in this act for climate change and
environment programs funded through USAID, the Department of
State, and the Department of the Treasury, of which
$286,500,000 is for adaptation programs, $656,800,000 is for
clean energy, and $507,200,000 is for sustainable landscapes
and biodiversity programs.

Adaptation.--The Committee provides funding to support
programs and activities to assist developing countries adapt to
climate change hazards, including decreases in agricultural
productivity, water scarcity, and rising sea levels.
Clean Energy.--The Committee intends that funds for clean
energy programs under title III of this act shall be used only
to support programs that promote the sustainable use of
renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency
technologies, carbon sequestration, and carbon accounting. The
primary objective of these programs should be to reduce,
mitigate, and/or sequester emissions of greenhouse gases.
Sustainable Landscapes and Biodiversity.--The Committee
recommends not less than $150,000,000 for USAID's sustainable
landscapes programs to support REDD. The Committee also
supports programs to protect tropical forests and other
biodiversity, and recommends not less than $215,200,000
including $35,000,000 for USAID's conservation programs in the
Amazon of which $20,000,000 is for the Initiative for
Conservation in the Andean Amazon and $15,000,000 is for the
Brazilian Amazon. Of this amount, the Committee intends that
$10,000,000 be used to strengthen the capacity of indigenous
organizations which play a key role in protecting tropical
forests and biodiversity. The Committee provides $19,000,000
for the CBFP, of which $9,000,000 is for the USFWS's programs
in central Africa including to protect great apes.
The Committee is concerned with the continuing rapid rates
of deforestation and degradation, particularly due to
industrial-scale logging and the illegal harvesting of timber
in tropical forests, and includes language in this act
specifying the uses of funds for tropical forest programs. The
Committee supports continued funding for USAID's programs to
protect the habitat of orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra, and
for USAID's program to protect wildlife in the Boma Jonglei
area of Southern Sudan. Funds may also be used for a U.S.
contribution to the Galapagos Invasive Species Fund.
The Committee is aware that Indonesia is among the world's
largest contributors of carbon emissions due to the destruction
of peat forests, particularly for palm oil plantations. The
Committee directs USAID to consult with the Committee within 45
days after enactment of this act on the use of REDD funding to
help reduce deforestation in Indonesia.
The Committee also recommends that funding under this
heading be used to protect endangered forests, wildlife, and
water ecosystems through other international programs
administered by the USFS (forest and wildlife conservation) and
the USFWS (multilateral species and migratory bird
conservation). The Committee also supports funding for
international programs of the NPS (national park management)
and NOAA (coral reefs and marine-protected areas).
Oceans.--The Committee is aware that CO2
emissions from burning fossil fuels and deforestation is
changing the acidity of the ocean in ways that pose grave
threats to fish and other ocean wildlife. The Committee expects
the Departments of State and Treasury to coordinate with NOAA
on the uses of funds for climate change programs.
GLOBAL PROGRAMS
Child Marriage.--The Committee recognizes that child
marriage undermines investments in programs that seek to
improve education, health, and the economic and legal status
for girls and women in developing countries. The Committee
directs USAID to consider the prevalence of child marriage when
developing its country plans, and recommends that the
Department of State include information regarding child
marriage, as appropriate, in its annual Country Reports on
Human Rights Practices.
Human Trafficking.--The Committee urges the Secretary of
State and the USAID Administrator to continue efforts to combat
human trafficking and slavery, particularly through social,
educational, and economic development programs. The Committee
recommends $12,000,000 for these activities under the ESF
heading. An additional $20,400,000 is provided under the INCLE
heading, and $6,500,000 under the DA heading.
The Committee is aware that Haiti's most common
manifestation of modern slavery is child domestic servitude,
known as restaveks, of which there were an estimated 225,000
before the earthquake. The Committee recommends that USAID, the
Department of State, and the Department of Labor, work with the
Government of Haiti to develop a strategy to address the plight
of current and former restaveks, including the development of
modern anti-trafficking laws and enforcement capability, and
programs to achieve the elimination of the worst forms of child
labor.
Natural Resource Transparency.--The Committee is concerned
with corrupt practices in the allocation of natural resource
extraction licenses and contracts and in the uses of revenues
from such extraction, particularly in Angola, Cambodia,
Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Zimbabwe. Funds should be
used to strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations
and to improve public oversight. The Committee directs USAID to
include benchmarks for effective natural resource management,
transparency, and accountability in resource-rich countries
receiving USAID assistance. These benchmarks should be publicly
available on the USAID Web site for each country.
Patrick Leahy War Victims Fund.--The Committee provides
$14,000,000 for the LWVF, administered by USAID, which assists
persons who are severely disabled as a result of armed
conflict.
Trade Capacity Building.--The Committee recommends not less
than $10,000,000 under the DA heading and not less than
$10,000,000 under the ESF heading for labor and environmental
capacity building activities relating to the free trade
agreements with countries of Central America, Peru, and the
Dominican Republic.
University Programs.--The Committee recommends the
Department of State and USAID consider proposals from the
following institutions, among others, through a transparent and
competitive process: University of Iowa; University of South
Carolina; Temple University School of Law; Texas A&M
University, College Station; and University of Montana.
Victims of Torture.--The Committee recommends $13,000,000
for programs and activities that address the needs of victims
of torture and victims of trauma resulting from violent
conflict. The Committee recommends support for centers for
victims of torture that provide services consistent with the
goals of Public Law 106-87. An additional $7,100,000 is
recommended for the U.N. Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture
under the IO&P account.
Water.--The Committee recommends not less than $315,000,000
in this act for water sanitation and supply projects pursuant
to Public Law 109-121. The Committee again directs relevant
USAID offices and bureaus involved in water-related programs to
coordinate on a regular basis.
The Committee recommends that USAID expand its programs to
improve access to clean drinking water through household water
treatment and hygiene programs in an effort to reduce the high
percentage of child morbidity and mortality due to waterborne
illnesses. The Committee also recommends funding for clean
water technology programs that offer safe, affordable drinking
water to vulnerable populations around the world.
Women's Programs.--The Committee supports programs which
directly enhance economic opportunities for very poor, poor and
low-income women in developing countries, including to increase
women-owned business development; property rights for women;
women's access to financial services; women's ability to
benefit from global trade; and improve women's employment
benefits and conditions. Funds should also be used to provide
technical assistance and capacity building for women's
organizations.
COUNTRIES
Angola.--The Committee recommends that funds be made
available to support civil society organizations and
independent media in Angola.
Cambodia.--The Committee directs that assistance for the
Government of Cambodia prioritize institutional capacity-
building to promote good governance, transparency, and
accountability in the management of natural resources. USAID
should support an independent review of existing natural
resource concessions in Cambodia, and technical assistance to
help establish effective procedures to ensure transparency in
the allocation and ownership of future concessions.
Ecuador.--The Committee is concerned with the extensive oil
contamination of land and water in northeastern Ecuador which
poses grave health risks for the local population. The
Committee directs that not less than $500,000 be made available
for rainwater collection or other access to potable water for
local residents, and to assist the Ministry of Health in
providing local diagnosis and treatment for chronic illnesses
resulting from such contamination. Funds should also be made
available to assist the Government of Ecuador in identifying
best practices for the remediation of oil-contaminated land and
water and environmentally safe petroleum production.
El Salvador.--The Committee is aware of the courageous
efforts of the Salvadoran National Police Inspector General's
Office to combat corruption, and recommends not less than
$200,000 to improve the capacity of that office.
Guatemala.--The Committee provides $1,500,000 for
conservation and related programs, including governance and law
enforcement, of the Department of the Interior for continued
support of a biodiversity and archaeological conservation
strategy for Guatemala's Maya Biosphere Reserve. The Committee
intends these activities to be carried out in coordination with
USAID and other U.S. Embassy activities and with natural
resource conservation and border control efforts in Mexico and
Belize.
Indonesia.--The Committee recommends $142,886,000 for
assistance for Indonesia, which is equal to the budget request,
of which not less than $250,000 should be made available for
grants for capacity building of Indonesian human rights
organizations, including in Papua, and not less than $500,000
should be made available for USFS REDD-related programs.
Nepal.--The Committee notes the increasing environmental
degradation of the Himalayan watersheds and recommends $200,000
to support Nepalese environmental organizations working on
these issues.
PRC.--The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for development
cooperation, environment, governance, rule of law, and disaster
preparedness programs in the PRC, and continues restrictions
relating to the export of satellites and prohibitions on
assistance to the People's Liberation Army.
Senegal.--The Committee is aware that former Chadian
President Hissene Habre is awaiting trial in Senegal for crimes
against humanity and torture. The Committee recommends a U.S.
contribution of $2,000,000 for the tribunal, if a reasonable
budget is agreed to and the Government of Senegal demonstrates
a commitment to move forward with the investigation and
prosecution.
South Africa.--The Committee recommends not less than
$5,000,000 for teacher training programs in South Africa.
Thailand.--The Committee recommends $6,151,000 for
assistance for Thailand, which is equal to the budget request.
Uganda.--The Committee remains concerned with the prospects
for free and fair elections in Uganda in 2011. The Committee
directs the Secretary of State to include in the election
monitoring reports required by the joint statement accompanying
division F of Public Law 111-117, an evaluation of the
preparations for and conduct and results of the elections,
including a determination of whether the elections were free
and fair. Such a determination should consider the findings of
international election monitoring observation missions, such as
those conducted by the National Democratic Institute and the
International Republican Institute, the European Union, and
credible nonpartisan Ugandan election observation
organizations.
The Committee is concerned that despite reconstruction and
development efforts in northern Uganda, there has been little
progress in addressing political grievances and promoting
reconciliation. The Committee recommends that of the funds
provided under this heading, up to $10,000,000 should be used
to support efforts by the people of northern Uganda and the
Government of Uganda to advance efforts to promote transitional
justice and reconciliation on national and local levels.
Zimbabwe.--The Committee remains concerned with the
political and economic situation in Zimbabwe that hampers
growth, education, democracy, and development. The Committee
notes that school closings and teacher layoffs have resulted in
an increase in out-of-school children, and recommends
$5,000,000 for basic education programs in Zimbabwe, including
through the Ministry of Education.
REPORTS
Central America.--The Committee remains concerned with the
lack of due process and a transparent judiciary in Nicaragua
and Honduras. The Secretary of State is directed to continue to
consult with the Committee on the Department of State's efforts
to effectuate due process with respect to claims against
American companies in these countries.
Gender-based Violence.--The Committee directs the Secretary
of State and the USAID Administrator to submit a report to the
Committee within 90 days of enactment of this act, detailing
funds provided in the previous 12 months under the IDA, MRA,
INCLE, and PKO headings for programs and activities related to
the prevention of and response to gender-based violence.
PROPOSALS
The Committee is aware of proposals from the following
organizations, which shall be considered in full and open

\1\Funding for this program was requested under the NADR heading.
COUNTRY ISSUES
Burma.--The Committee notes with concern continued reports
of Burma's efforts to establish a nuclear program and cooperate
with North Korea. The Committee condemns ongoing human rights
violations committed by the SPDC against the people of Burma,
including ethnic groups, democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and
all prisoners of conscience. The Committee regrets that
conditions for credible and competitive elections do not exist
in Burma today.
The Committee expects that funds appropriated for
assistance for Burma shall be made available for humanitarian,
income generation, agriculture, and other programs to improve
the lives of the Burmese people, and should be consistent with
the principles and goals of the National League for Democracy
in Burma including the promotion of human rights and freedom
and improving the welfare of the people of Burma.
The Committee recommends that funds provided for Burma for
programs along the Thai-Burma border include the continuation
of journalism and other media activities.
Cambodia.--The Committee remains concerned with corruption
and human rights violations in Cambodia, and continues to
recognize the vital role civil society and the democratic
opposition play in furthering that country's democratic
development. The Committee continues the certification
requirement for a United States contribution to the Khmer Rouge
tribunal on credible steps being taken by the United Nations
and Government of Cambodia to address corruption and
mismanagement issues.
The Committee remains concerned with the professionalism of
the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, and expects the
administration to conduct effective vetting prior to initiating
any programs. Patronage by Cambodian businesses of RCAF units
serves to further undermine the legitimacy of Cambodia's
leadership, particularly within the RCAF itself.
Cyprus.--The Committee recognizes the many challenges in
resolving the crisis in Cyprus, and continues support for
scholarships, bicommunal projects, and measures aimed at
reunification, reducing tension and promoting peace and
cooperation. The Committee is aware of concerns that some
projects on Cyprus may have been funded without advance
consultation with the Government of Cyprus and recommends that
such consultation occur whenever practicable in the interest of
transparency in the allocation of funds. The Committee
recommends $11,000,000 for assistance for Cyprus, and intends
to review the effectiveness of programs, absent meaningful
progress in negotiations between the parties. The Committee
intends that implementing organizations and the specific nature
of such assistance shall not be subject to the prior approval
of any foreign government.
Democratic Republic of the Congo.--The Committee recommends
$10,000,000 to help demilitarize the mining sector in eastern
DRC and to build local capacity for oversight and regulation.
Assistance should focus on removing military units to barracks
away from mining areas; strengthening the system of military
tribunals; transparency in the disbursement of salaries to
soldiers; and the introduction of military mobile units to
investigate alleged violations of human rights. Funds should
also be used to support joint inspections of mineral
consignments by police and customs in coordination with the
United Nations; increased capacity of customs authorities to
control the export of minerals (including columbite-tantalite,
cassiterite, wolframite, and gold); and increased capacity of
the mining police to provide security and enforce the law in
mining areas, along transportation routes and at trading sites.
The Committee also urges the Department of State to support
efforts by the Government of the DRC to prosecute those
involved in financing warring parties in eastern DRC through
the mineral trade, and to work with other relevant U.S.
agencies to ensure that American businesses are informed of the
connection between the mineral trade in the DRC and armed
conflict, including sexual and gender-based violence.
Egypt.--The Committee provides $100,000 under USAID's
Middle East Regional Program for USFS activities in Egypt.
Haiti.--The Committee recommends $139,000,000 under this
heading for assistance for Haiti. The Committee notes that
pledges of many billions of dollars in assistance for Haiti
were made by the United States and other donor countries after
the January 2010 earthquake, and many lives were saved in the
emergency relief response including by many American
volunteers. However, the situation remains dire, hundreds of
thousands of people languish in makeshift camps where violence,
particularly attacks against women and girls, is increasingly
common. Immense amounts of rubble continues to choke streets
and prevent rebuilding, yet far too little is being done to
remove it. Progress in moving displaced people to more secure
housing has also been slow, and the Government of Haiti has
been indecisive. The Committee is aware that a culture of
dependency, coupled with a long history of corruption and
neglect on the part of successive Haitian governments, as well
as poorly designed and implemented donor assistance programs,
have contributed to Haiti's plight. The Committee hopes that
greater progress can be made in the coming months so Haiti can
overcome this catastrophe and its people can have hope for a
better future. The Committee discussed its views on the post-
earthquake situation in greater detail in Senate report 111-
188.
The Committee recommends up to $2,000,000 for technical
assistance to improve the production and distribution of
electricity in Haiti, and to strengthen the institutional
capacity to manage the electricity sector. The Committee
encourages the Department of State to collaborate with the U.S.
Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery and
Energy Reliability on energy-related work in Haiti.
The Committee directs that the surge in attacks against
women and girls in IDP camps be addressed as an urgent
priority. The Committee further directs that gender issues, and
the participation of women, be incorporated into the design,
implementation, and oversight of all assistance programs in
Haiti.
The Committee supports continued funding for reforestation
and other restoration of Haiti's key watersheds, in accordance
with USAID's April 2007 report ``Environmental Vulnerability in
Haiti''.
The Committee also supports continued funding for medical,
rehabilitation, psycho-social, vocational, and other programs
to assist Haitians with disabilities, particularly those who
lost limbs as a result of the earthquake.
The Committee recommends that USAID work with the NPS to
help the Government of Haiti develop a long-term management
plan to preserve the Citadel and prevent its degradation from
tourism.
Lebanon.--The Committee provides $12,000,000 for
scholarships for Lebanese students with high need to attend
educational institutions in Lebanon that meet standards similar
to those required for American accreditation. The institutions,
students and their families are encouraged to meet as much of
the cost of the education as possible in order to share the
commitment to the future of Lebanon, to maximize the number of
students who are assisted, and to minimize the cost per student
to the American taxpayer. All Lebanese students should be
eligible for scholarships based on need, academic record, and
potential to contribute to the long-term political, economic,
and social development of Lebanon.
The Committee provides $500,000 for continued support for
USFS forest and biodiversity conservation programs in Lebanon.
Liberia.--The Committee urges the Department of State and
USAID to prioritize good governance and transparency in the
Liberian forest sector, including special attention to
Liberia's performance under the EITI, the independence of the
General Auditing Commission, and support for civil society
organizations to monitor logging operations and the forestry
reform process.
The Committee further urges USAID to support the Government
of Liberia and civil society in developing a comprehensive
natural resource management strategy to include mapping current
natural resources and competing land uses, evaluating the best
use of natural resources for the benefit of the country and its
citizens, and applying effective standards of social,
environmental, and human rights protections. The strategy
should be developed in a transparent manner with the
participation of civil society organizations and should
consider the social, environmental and economic implications of
the utilization of resources.
Nepal.--The Committee provides $35,000,000 for assistance
for Nepal, including for rehabilitation and reintegration of
former combatants and to support capacity building of Nepali
civil society organizations.
North Korea.--The Committee continues support for programs
to promote democracy and human rights in North Korea, as
authorized by Public Law 110-346, to include exchanges.
Southern Sudan.--The Committee directs the Department of
State, in consultation with USAID, to prioritize programs in
Sudan that implement the Comprehensive Peace Agreement,
including support for local governance, transparency and
accountability of oil revenues, judicial strengthening, law
enforcement professionalism and respect for human rights, and
reintegration of former combatants. The Committee is
particularly concerned that the CPA does not provide adequate
transparency within the oil sector, and urges the Department of
State to seek a transparent and independent audit mechanism in
any future oil revenue-sharing agreements in Sudan.
Philippines.--The Committee recommends a portion of ESF
funds to support conflict resolution activities in Mindanao and
to expand judicial training programs.
Timor-Leste.--The Committee recommends not less than
$3,000,000 under this heading for assistance for Timor-Leste,
of which $1,000,000 is for democracy programs and activities
and $2,000,000 is for higher education scholarships.
Thailand.--The Committee recommends $2,500,000 for
assistance for conflict resolution and development programs in
southern Thailand.
Tibet.--The Committee recommends $7,500,000 for activities
implemented by NGOs which preserve cultural traditions and
promote sustainable development and environmental conservation
in Tibetan communities in the Tibetan Autonomous Region and in
other Tibetan communities in China. The Committee intends these
funds to be awarded competitively to multiple grantees.
Somalia.--The Committee recommends $25,818,000 for
assistance for Somalia, which is equal to the budget request,
and recognizes the regional threats emanating from that failed
state and its extremists groups, including the recent World Cup
attack in Uganda by Al-Shabab.
Tunisia.--The Committee recommends $2,000,000 for economic
development programs and activities in southern Tunisia, and to
promote respect for human rights.
Yemen.--The Committee recommends $37,000,000 under this
heading for Yemen, which is $3,000,000 above the budget
request, and emphasizes the need to increase primary school
enrollment, particularly of girls. The Committee encourages the
Department of State to consider conditioning assistance for the
Government of Yemen in order to obtain its full support on
shared objectives and to ensure the effectiveness of programs
and reduce corruption. The Department is to consult with the
Committee on this matter.
Vietnam.--The Committee provides $15,000,000 for continued
environmental remediation of dioxin-contamination at the Da
Nang Airport and related health/disability activities,
including through Vietnamese institutions and organizations.
The Committee directs USAID, in consultation with the
Department of State, the Government of Vietnam, and other
interested parties, to develop, within 180 days after enactment
of this act, a multi-year plan for Agent Orange activities in
Vietnam and urges the administration to include funding in
future budget requests to support it. USAID is to consult with
the Committee prior to the obligation of funds.
West Bank and Gaza.--The Committee continues current law
restrictions on assistance for the West Bank and Gaza, as
contained in Public Law 111-8 and Public Law 111-32.
GLOBAL PROGRAMS
Anti-kleptocracy.--The Committee recommends $500,000 to
strengthen the Department of State's implementation of the
National Strategy to Internationalize Efforts Against
Kleptocracy and Presidential Proclamation 7750, including to
coordinate all U.S. Government efforts to combat kleptocracy.
Conflict Diamonds.--The Committee recommends $3,000,000 to
implement the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, including
by strengthening the role and capacity of civil society groups
in the Kimberley Process. Of this amount, $500,000 is for
expenses related to U.S. participation as Vice-Chair of the
Kimberley Process in fiscal year 2011.
The Committee recommends assistance for Rwanda and Uganda
to strengthen border controls with the DRC to help stem the
flow of conflict minerals.
Disability Programs.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000
for disability programs, of which $2,500,000 should be made
available generally for programs and activities administered by
USAID missions to address the needs and protect and promote the
rights of people with disabilities in developing countries, and
$1,500,000 should be used to support and promote centers for
independent living in developing countries that have initiated
such efforts and are working in partnership with organizations
or individuals that have significant experience in this area.
In addition, the Committee recommends $1,000,000 to develop,
support, and strengthen sports programs for people with
disabilities in developing countries. The Committee recommends
continuation of the current practice that at least 25 percent
of USAID Mission funds for disability programs be dispersed in
small grants.
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.--The
Committee recommends $5,000,000 to support the EITI, including
to strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations to
participate in the EITI process.
Forensic Assistance.--The Committee provides $1,500,000 to
support programs in forensic anthropology in countries of
Central and South America where internal armed conflicts
resulted in large numbers of human remains that have yet to be
exhumed and/or identified. These funds are to be administered
by DRL.
Global Engagement.--The Committee supports strengthened
U.S. collaboration with Muslim-majority countries, including in
Southeast Asia, to promote job creation and entrepreneurship,
scientific and technological capacity, and enhance human
development, and provides $17,000,000 under the D&CP heading
for exchanges and scholarships and $23,000,000 under this
heading for other GE initiative programs. The Committee is
concerned with the breadth of proposed programming under the GE
initiative, and directs the Department of State and USAID to
focus resources on sustainable and effective programs in target
countries. Any funds provided to support activities with U.S.
academic institutions shall be subject to full and open
competition, and in accordance with all applicable rules and
regulations.
Middle East Partnership Initiative.--The Committee
recommends $60,000,000 for regional programs traditionally
managed by MEPI, including to continue a scholarship program to
educate students from countries with significant Muslim
populations, including at educational institutions that meet
standards similar to those required for American accreditation
in those countries. These funds are to be awarded through an
open and competitive process. The Secretary of State is
directed to report to the Committee on coordination with other
offices responsible for funding similar programs.
Middle East Regional Cooperation Program.--The Committee
recommends $5,000,000 for continued support for the MERC.
Near East Regional Democracy.--The Committee recommends
$40,000,000 for programs and activities to promote democracy in
the Near East, including in Iran, of which $10,000,000 is to
expand access to information and communication in closed
societies through the Internet, to be awarded through an open
and competitive process. An additional $10,000,000 is made
available for such purposes under the DF heading. The Secretary
of State is directed to submit a multi-year strategy to promote
Internet freedom abroad, and to consult with the Committee on
the coordination of these programs with activities funded by
other Federal agencies.
Reconciliation Programs.--The Committee recommends a total
of $25,500,000 for reconciliation programs and activities which
bring together and facilitate direct communication between
individuals of different ethnic, religious and political
backgrounds in countries affected by civil strife and war, of
which $10,500,000 is for such programs and activities in the
Middle East region. Of this amount, $15,500,000 is provided
under this heading, and $10,000,000 is provided under the DA
heading. This global program seeks to promote understanding,
mutual respect, and reconciliation through the active
participation, dialogue and problem solving of members of
opposing groups. The Committee intends that responsibility for
decisions on the uses of such funds be made at the mission
level.
Wheelchairs.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for
wheelchair programs in developing countries, which should be
allocated through an open and competitive process based on
merit. The Committee supports funding that provides quality,
low-cost wheelchairs benefiting as many people as possible, and
which encourages local initiative, utilizes appropriate
technologies, and are sustainable.

State provide assistance to meet these needs in a timely
manner.

should reflect current U.S. national interests and budget
pressures; focus resources in such key areas as health,

Dodd's many years of devotion to these issues, the Committee

American Foundation, to support and promote democratic

proportion of total program costs. The Committee requests the
ADF to explore potential options to achieve efficiencies in
operating costs and greater emphasis on its programs. The ADF
should consider organizational restructuring, consolidation of
administrative services with similar organizations, purchase of

and Observers mission in the Sinai, which is equal to the
budget request. The Committee endorses MFO force protection
efforts, and concurs with the use of funds appropriated by this
act, and previous acts, for such purposes.
Somalia.--The Committee notes that more than $50,000,000 in
fiscal year 2010 PKO funds are unobligated, and intends these
funds to be used for assistance for Somalia. The Committee
provides an additional $55,918,000 for United Nations assessed
peacekeeping costs in Somalia in fiscal year 2011. The
Committee is concerned with reports that indiscriminate
shelling by AMISOM troops have caused widespread civilian
casualties, and requires a report by the Secretary of State
that necessary precautions are being taken to avoid civilian
casualties.

COUNTRY ISSUES
Azerbaijan.--The Committee recognizes and appreciates the
Government of Azerbaijan's cooperation on security matters of
interest to the United States.
Bahrain.--The Committee recommends $19,500,000 for
assistance for Bahrain, which is equal to the budget request.
The Committee is concerned with reports that units of the
Bahraini Ministry of Interior's Criminal Investigations
Directorate and the Bahrain National Security Agency regularly
torture criminal suspects. The bill includes a provision
restricting assistance to units of any foreign security force
that uses torture, subject to a Secretary of State
certification.
Guatemala.--The Committee recognizes the challenges facing
Guatemala from narcotics trafficking, organized crime, and
clandestine groups that target social and political activists.
The Committee does not restrict assistance for the Guatemalan
Navy and Air Force, and permits assistance for the Army Corps
of Engineers for limited purposes. With the exception of the
Army Corps of Engineers, no assistance is provided to the Army
under the IMET or FMF headings. The Committee will consider
such assistance when the Army, the Ministry of Defense, and
related security agencies are supporting and cooperating fully
with civilian judicial investigations, prosecutions, and other
proceedings involving current and retired military personnel
who have been credibly alleged to have violated human rights;
protecting and publicly disclosing all military archives
pertaining to the internal armed conflict, including fully
disclosing plan Firmeza 83, Plan Sofia 82 and Operation Ixil;
and cooperating with the CICIG by granting access to CICIG
personnel, providing evidence to CICIG, and allowing witness
testimony.
Indonesia.--The Committee notes the progress Indonesia has
made in strengthening democracy, combating extremism, and
addressing other challenges including illegal logging. Military
reform, particularly accountability for past abuses, has lagged
behind. The Committee recommends $22,000,000 for assistance for
Indonesia, which is $2,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level
and equal to the budget request. Of this amount, $2,000,000 may
not be obligated until the Secretary of State reports in
writing to the Committees on Appropriations pursuant to section
7040(d) of this act on--
--Steps taken by the Government of Indonesia in the previous
12 months to revise the Code of Military Justice,
Uniform Criminal Code and other relevant statutes, to
deny promotion, suspend from active service, and/or
prosecute military officers credibly alleged to have
violated human rights, and to refine further the
military's mission and develop an appropriate national
defense budget to carry out that mission;
--Efforts by the military in the previous 12 months to
cooperate with civilian judicial authorities to resolve
cases of violations of internationally recognized human
rights;
--Efforts by the military in the previous 12 months to
implement reforms that increase the transparency and
accountability of the military's operations and
financial management and concrete steps taken to
achieve divestment of all military businesses; and
--Whether the Government of Indonesia is allowing public
access to Papua, including foreign diplomats, NGOs, and
journalists.
Lebanon.--The Committee provides $100,000,000 for
assistance for Lebanon, which is equal to the budget request,
and recognizes the need for the Lebanese Armed Forces to
contribute to stability in southern Lebanon in cooperation with
the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon.
Philippines.--The Committee welcomes the expressed support
by the new Government of the Philippines for accountability for
extra-judicial executions and other human rights crimes by the
military, and the appointment of a new Secretary of Justice is
a positive sign. However, it remains to be seen whether this
will translate into prosecutions of those responsible or the
dismantling of the paramilitary forces that have been linked to
abuses.
The Committee recommends $33,000,000 for assistance for the
Philippines, which is $1,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010
level and $18,000,000 above the budget request. Of this amount,
$3,000,000 may not be obligated until the Secretary of State
reports in writing to the Committees on Appropriations pursuant
to section 7040(g) of this act that--
--The Government of the Philippines is continuing to take
effective steps to implement the recommendations of the
United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extra-judicial,
Summary or Arbitrary Executions, to include
prosecutions and convictions for extra-judicial
executions, sustaining the decline in the number of
extra-judicial executions, and strengthening government
institutions working to eliminate extra-judicial
executions;
--The Government of the Philippines is implementing a policy
of promoting military personnel who demonstrate
professionalism and respect for internationally
recognized human rights, and is investigating,
prosecuting, and punishing military personnel and
others who have been credibly alleged to have violated
such rights; and
--The Philippine military does not have a policy of, and are
not engaging in, acts of violence or intimidation
against members of legal organizations who advocate for
human rights.
Tunisia.--The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for
assistance for Tunisia, which is $10,100,000 above the budget
request. Of this amount, $1,000,000 is subject to a Secretary
of State certification. The Committee urges the Government of
Tunisia to permit independent media, human rights
organizations, and other civil society organizations to operate
without interference, and its citizens to freely access the
Internet.
Ukraine.--The Committee recommends $11,000,000 for
assistance for Ukraine, which is $4,000,000 below the budget
request, and encourages that country's renewed engagement and
support for NATO priorities.
Yemen.--The Committee recommends $35,000,000 for assistance
for Yemen, which is equal to the budget request.
REPORTS
Morocco.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State to
submit a report not later than 45 days after enactment of this
act, detailing steps taken by the Government of Morocco in the
previous 12 months on human rights, including deportation of
U.S. citizens in Morocco without due process of law, and
whether it is allowing all persons to advocate freely their
views regarding the status and future of the Western Sahara
through the exercise of their rights to peaceful expression and
association, and to document violations of human rights in the
territory without harassment.
Sri Lanka.--The Committee directs the Secretary of State to
submit a report not later than 90 days after enactment of this
act on crimes against humanity in Sri Lanka, with a focus on
the final months of the conflict, updating the Secretary's
previous report on this matter and including an assessment of
the extent to which the Government of Sri Lanka, the United
Nations, or any other international body has conducted a
thorough, credible, and transparent investigation of such
crimes, and whether the individuals responsible have been
appropriately punished. The report shall also discuss the
situation of persons who remain in detention for reasons
related to the conflict, and whether they have been provided
access to a credible judicial process.
PAKISTAN COUNTERINSURGENCY CAPABILITY FUND
Appropriation, 2010..................................... $700,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 1,200,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 900,000,000
The Committee recommends $900,000,000 for the Pakistan
Counterinsurgency Capability Fund. The Committee supports a
long-term partnership with Pakistan to address issues of
international terrorism, poverty and development. The Committee
is concerned with reports that Pakistani security forces have
denied access to humanitarian organizations to IDPs and other
vulnerable populations and detainees, and have engaged in a
pattern of gross violations of human rights. The Committee
intends section 620J of the FAA to be applied in Pakistan to
ensure that U.S. assistance is not misused and that individuals
responsible for abuses are appropriately punished.

does not preclude other funding from the U.S. Government for
specific UNICEF projects as may be appropriate.

The Committee recommends $1,285,000,000 for the U.S.
contribution to the International Development Association.
The Committee notes that access to modern energy services
is necessary for poverty eradication and economic progress, and
that reliance on fossil fuels in developing countries is a
growing contributor to global climate change. The World Bank is
currently developing a new energy strategy that must provide
strong leadership in addressing these related challenges. As
the Committee considers a U.S. contribution to the World Bank's
General Capital Increase, it will assess the Bank's progress
toward adopting an energy strategy that: (1) supports increased
energy services for the poor that are clean, reliable and
sustainable; (2) assists countries in the transition toward
zero/very low-carbon development; and (3) rapidly phases out
Bank support for fossil fuel related projects, except those
that are solely to provide access to energy for the poor.

Asian Development Bank's Fifth General Capital Increase [GCI-

commitments by the ADB to make policy reforms including
upgrading the ADB's corporate governance, safeguards policies
and risk management functions, increasing transparency and
anti-corruption efforts, and professionalizing human resources
practices, and pledged $532,929,240 over 5 years.
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Treasury to
continue to monitor and report to the Committee on the ADB's
reform efforts to improve operations, internal controls, and
management accountability to prevent fraud and corruption.
LIMITATION ON CALLABLE CAPITAL SUBSCRIPTIONS
The Committee recommends a limitation on the amount that

The Committee is concerned that, according to the GAO, the
Export-Import Bank has fallen far short of the congressional
directive to allocate 10 percent of its annual financing to
renewable energy or energy efficiency technologies, and that
financing for fossil fuel projects continues to far exceed that
for clean energy. The Committee directs the Bank to submit a
report to the Committee not later than 45 days after enactment

DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS
The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the
purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should
make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money.
As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the
Senate, the term ``congressional directed spending item'' means
a provision or report language included primarily at the
request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a
specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit
authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan,
loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure
with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality
or congressional district, other than through a statutory or
administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process.
For each item, a Member is required to provide a
certification that neither the Member nor the Senator's
immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such
congressionally directed spending item. Such certifications are
available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee
on Appropriations (www.appropriations.senate.gov/senators.cfm).
Neither the Committee recommendation nor this report
contains any congressionally directed spending items, limited
tax benefits, nor limited tariff benefits as defined in rule
XLIV.
