the bill,
S. 908, supra; as follows:
On page 124, below line 20, add the following:
TITLE VII--POPULATION STABILIZATION AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``International Population
Stabilization and Reproductive Health Act''.
SEC. 702. AUTHORITIES RELATING TO UNITED STATES POPULATION
ASSISTANCE.
Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended--
(1) in section 104(b), by striking ``on such terms and
conditions as he may determine'' and inserting ``in
accordance with the provisions of chapter 12''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new chapter:
``CHAPTER 12--UNITED STATES POPULATION ASSISTANCE
``Sec. 499. Definition.--For purposes of this chapter, the
term `United States population assistance' means assistance
provided under section 104(b) of this Act.
``Sec. 499A. Congressional Findings.--The Congress makes
the following findings:
``(1) Throughout much of the developing world, the
inability of women and couples to exercise choice over
childbearing undermines the role of women in economic
development, contributes to death and suffering among women
and their children, puts pressure on the environment and the
natural resources on which many poor families depend for
their survival, and in other ways vitiates the efforts of
families to lift themselves out of the poverty in which more
than one billion of the world'
s 5.7 billion people live.
``(2) Through 2015, the world's population will continue to
grow, with annual population increments predicted to be above
86 million. This will lead to a tripling of the world's
population before stabilization can occur.
``(3) As the population within individual countries grows,
cities grow rapidly, movement in and between countries
increases, and regional distributions of population become
unbalanced.
``(4) After more than a quarter century of experience and
research, a global consensus is emerging on the need for
increased international cooperation in regard to population
in the context of sustainable development.
``(5) To act effectively on this consensus, the ability to
exercise reproductive choice should be expanded through
broader dissemination of fertility regulation services that
involve women, couples, and the community and which meet
individual, family, and community needs and values.
``(6) In addition to the personal toll on families, the
impact of human population
[[Page
S 10974]]
growth and widespread poverty is evident in mounting signs of stress on
the world's environment, particularly in tropical
deforestation, erosion of arable land and watersheds,
extinction of plant and animal species, global climate
change, waste management, and air and water pollution.
``Sec. 499B. Declaration of Policy. (a) In General.--
Congress declares that to reduce population growth and
stabilize world population at the lowest level feasible and
thereby improve the health and well-being of the world's
families, to ensure the role of women in the development
process, and to protect the global environment, an important
objective of the foreign policy of the United States shall be
to assist the international community to achieve universal
availability of quality fertility regulation services through
a wide choice of safe and effective means of family planning,
including programs of public education and other health and
development efforts in support of smaller families.
``(b) Financial Targets.--The Congress endorses a target
for global expenditures in developing countries of at least
$17,000,000,000 by the year 2000 for population programs
described in section 499C, and establishes a goal for United
States population assistance by the year 2000 of
$1,850,000,000 in constant 1993 dollars.
``Sec. 499C. Authorized Activities.--United States
population assistance is authorized to provide--
``(1) support for the expansion of quality, affordable,
voluntary family planning services, which emphasize informed
choice among a variety of safe and effective fertility
regulation methods and closely related reproductive health
care services, including the prevention and control of HIV-
AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and reproductive tract
infections;
``(2) support for adequate and regular supplies of quality
contraceptives, quality family planning counseling,
information, education, communication, and services
emphasizing the use of the mass media to improve public
knowledge of fertility regulation and related disease
prevention methods and where they may be obtained and to
promote the benefits of family planning and reproductive
health to individuals, families, and communities;
``(3) support to United States and foreign research
institutions and other appropriate entities for biomedical
research to develop and evaluate improved methods of safe
fertility regulation and related disease control, with
particular emphasis on methods which--
``(A) are likely to be safer, easier to use, easier to make
available in developing country settings, and less expensive
than current methods;
``(B) are controlled by women, including barrier methods
and vaginal microbicides;
``(C) are likely to prevent the spread of sexually
transmitted diseases; and
``(D) encourage and allow men to take greater
responsibility for their own fertility;
``(4) support for field research on the characteristics of
programs most likely to result in sustained use of effective
family planning in meeting each individual's lifetime
reproductive goals, with particular emphasis on the
perspectives of family planning users, including support for
relevant social and behavioral research focusing on such
factors as the use, nonuse, and unsafe or ineffective use of
various fertility regulation and related-disease control
methods;
``(5) support for the development of new evaluation
techniques and performance criteria for family planning
programs, emphasizing the family planning user's perspective
and reproductive goals;
``(6) support for research and research dissemination
related to population policy development, including
demographic and health surveys to assess population trends,
measure unmet needs, and evaluate program impact, and support
for policy-relevant research on the relationships between
population trends, poverty, and environmental management,
including implications for sustainable agriculture,
agroforestry, biodiversity, water resources, energy use, and
local and global climate change;
``(7) support for prevention of unsafe abortions and
management of complications of unsafe abortions, including
research and public information dissemination on the health
and welfare consequences;
``(8) support for special programs to reach adolescents and
young adults before they begin childbearing, including health
education programs which stress responsible parenthood and
the health risks of unprotected sexual intercourse, as well
as service programs designed to meet the information and
contraception needs of adolescents;
``(9) support for a broad array of governmental and
nongovernmental communication strategies designed--
``(A) to create public awareness worldwide;
``(B) to generate a consensus on the need to address
reproductive health issues and the problems associated with
rapid population growth;
``(C) to emphasize the need to educate men as well as women
and mobilize their support for reproductive rights and
responsibilities; and
``(D) to remove all major remaining barriers to family
planning use, including unnecessary legal, medical, clinical,
and regulatory barriers to information and methods, and to
make family planning an established community norm; and
``(10) support for programs and strategies that actively
discourage harmful practices such as female genital
mutilation.
``Sec. 499D. Terms and Conditions.--United States
population assistance is authorized to be provided subject to
the restrictions on such assistance set forth in section
104(f) and subject to the following conditions:
``(1) Such assistance may only support, directly or through
referral, those activities which provide a broad range of
fertility regulation methods permitted by individual country
policy and a broad choice of public and private family
planning services, including networks for community-based and
subsidized commercial distribution of high quality
contraceptives.
``(2) No program supported by United States population
assistance may deny an individual family planning services
because of such individual's inability to pay all or part of
the cost of such services.
``(3) In each recipient country, programs supported by
United States population assistance shall, to the extent
possible, support a coordinated approach, consistent with
respect for the rights of women as decisionmakers in matters
of reproduction and sexuality, for the provision of public
and private reproductive health services.
``(4) Family planning services and related reproductive
health care services supported by United States population
assistance shall ensure--
(A) privacy and confidentiality; maintain the highest
medical standards possible under local conditions; and
(B) regular oversight of the quality of medical care and
other services offered, including followup care.
``(5) United States population assistance programs shall
furnish only those contraceptive drugs and devices which have
received approval for marketing in the United States by the
Food and Drug Administration or which have been tested and
determined to be safe and effective under research protocols
comparable to those required by the Food and Drug
Administration or have been determined to be safe by an
appropriate international organization or the relevant health
authority in the country to which they are provided.
``(6) Family planning services supported by United States
population assistance shall be designed to take into account
the needs of the family planning user, including the
constraints on women's time, by involving members of the
community, including both men and women, in the design,
management, and ongoing evaluation of the services through
appropriate training and recruitment efforts. The design of
services shall stress easy accessibility, by locating
services as close as possible to potential users, by keeping
hours of service convenient, and by improving communications
between users and providers through community outreach and
involvement. Related service shall be included, either on
site or through referral.
``(7) United States population assistance to adolescent
fertility programs shall be provided in the context of
prevailing norms and customs in the recipient country.
``(8)(A) Programs supported by United States population
assistance shall--
``(i) support the prevention of the spread of sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV-AIDS infection;
``(ii) raise awareness regarding STDs and HIV-AIDS
prevention and consequences;
``(iii) provide quality counselling to individuals with
STDs and HIV-AIDS infection in a manner which respects
individual rights and confidentiality; and
``(iv) ensure the protection of both patients and health
personnel from infection in clinics.
``(B) Responsible sexual behavior, including voluntary
abstinence, for the prevention of STDs and HIV infection
should be promoted and included in education and information
programs.
``(9) None of the funds made available by the United States
Government to foreign governments, international
organizations, or nongovernmental organizations may be used
to coerce any person to undergo sterilization or abortion or
to accept any other method of fertility regulation.
``Sec. 499E. Eligibility for Population Assistance. (a)
Eligible Countries.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, United States population assistance shall be available,
directly or through intermediary organizations, to any
country which the President determines has met one or more of
the following criteria:
``(1) The country accounts for a significant proportion of
the world's annual population increment.
``(2) The country has significant unmet needs for fertility
regulation and requires foreign assistance to implement,
expand, or sustain quality family planning services for all
its people.
``(3) The country demonstrates a strong policy commitment
to population stabilization through the expansion of
reproductive choice.
``(b) Eligibility of Nongovernmental and Multilateral
Organizations.--In determining eligibility for United States
population assistance, the President shall not subject
nongovernmental and multilateral organizations to
requirements which are more restrictive than requirements
applicable to foreign governments for such assistance.
``Sec. 499F. Participation in Multilateral Organizations.
(a) Finding.--The Congress recognizes that the recent
attention, in government policies toward population
stabilization owes much to the efforts of the
[[Page
S 10975]]
United Nations and its specialized agencies and organizations,
particularly the United Nations Population Fund.
``(b) Availability of Funds.--United States population
assistance shall be available for contributions to the United
Nations Population Fund in such amounts as the President
determines would be commensurate with United States
contributions to other multilateral organizations and with

those funds to carry out any program, project, or activity
that involves the use of coerced abortion or involuntary
sterilization.
``(4) None of the funds made available to the United
Nations Population Fund shall be available for activities in
the People's Republic of China.
``(d) Allocation of Funds.--Of the funds made available for
United States population assistance, the President shall make

and Research Training in Human Reproduction for each of the
fiscal years 1995 and 1996 an amount commensurate with the
contributions of the other donor countries for the purpose of
furthering international cooperation in the development and
evaluation of fertility regulation technology.
``Sec. 499G. Support for Nongovernmental Organizations. (a)
Finding.--Congress finds that in many developing countries,
nongovernmental entities, including private and voluntary
organizations and private sector entities, are the most
appropriate and effective providers of United States
assistance to population and family planning activities.
``(b) Procedures.--The President shall establish simplified
procedures for the development and approval of programs to be
carried out by nongovernmental organizations that have
demonstrated--
``(1) a capacity to undertake effective population and
family planning activities which encourage significant
involvement by private health practitioners, employer-based
health services, unions, and cooperative health
organizations; and
``(2) a commitment to quality reproductive health care for
women.
``(c) Priority for Nongovernmental Organizations.--The
largest share of United States population assistance made
available for any fiscal year shall be made available through
United States and foreign nongovernmental organizations.
``Sec. 499H. Reports to Congress.--The President shall
prepare and submit to the Congress, as part of the annual
presentation materials on foreign assistance, a report on
world progress toward population stabilization and universal
reproductive choice. The report shall include--

activities described in section 499C by national governments,
donor agencies, and private sector entities;
``(2) an analysis by country and region of the impact of
population trends on a set of key social, economic,
political, and environment indicators, which shall be
identified by the President in the first report submitted
pursuant to this section and analyzed in that report and each
subsequent report; and
``(3) a detailed statement of prior year and proposed
direct and indirect allocations of population assistance, by
country, which describes how each country allocation meets
the criteria set forth in this section.''.
SEC. 703. AUTHORIZATIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS.
Section 104(g)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22
U.S.C. 2151b(g)(1) is amended by amending subparagraph (A) to
read as follows:
``(A) such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 1996
and such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 1997 to
carry out subsection (b) of this section; and''.
SEC. 704. OVERSIGHT OF MULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) multilateral development banks have an important role
to play in global population efforts;
(2) although the increased commitment by multilateral
development banks to population-related activities is
encouraging, together the banks provided less than
$200,000,000 in 1994 in assistance for core population
programs, and their overall lending for population, health,
and nutrition decreased by more than one-half between 1993
and 1994; and
(3) the banks themselves have recognized a need to improve
oversight of programs, strengthen the technical skills of
their personnel, and improve their capacity to work with
borrowers, other donors, and nongovernmental organizations in
formulating creative population projects to meet diverse
borrower needs.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that the multilateral development banks should increase their
annual support for the population activities described in
section 499C of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as added
by this Act, to not less than a total of $1,000,000,000 by
December 31, 2000.
(c) Report Required.--Not later than July 31 of each year,
the Secretary of the Treasury shall prepare and transmit to
Congress a report which includes, with respect to the
preceding calendar year--
(1) information on the resources made available by each
multilateral development bank for the population activities
described in section 499C of the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961, as added by this Act;
(2) if such resources total less than $1,000,000,000, any
specific actions taken by the United States executive
directors to the banks to encourage increases in such
resources and in policy-level discussions with donor and
developing country governments; and
(3) an analysis of the progress made by the banks towards--
(A) meeting the objectives of the population activities
which are supported by the banks;
(B) increasing their in-country management staff;
(C) improving the technical skills of their personnel; and
(D) assuring their responsiveness to borrower needs.
(d) Definition.--As used in this section, the term

SEC. 705. ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES TO
STABILIZE WORLD POPULATION.
(a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress makes the
following findings:
(1) Women represent 50 percent of the world's human
resource potential. Therefore, improving the health, social,
and economic status of women and increasing their
productivity are essential for economic progress in all
countries. Improving the status of women also enhances their
decisionmaking capacity at all levels in all spheres of life,
including in the area of reproductive health.
(2) Throughout the world, women who participate in the
social, economic, and political affairs of their communities
are more likely to exercise their choice about childbearing
than women who do not participate in such activities.
(3) Effective economic development strategies address
issues such as infant and child survival rates, educational
opportunities for girls and women, and equality in
development.
(4) Comprehensive population stabilization efforts which
include both family planning services and economic
development activities achieve lower birth rates and
stimulate more development than those which pursue these
objectives independently.
(5) The most powerful, long-term influence on birthrates is
education, especially educational attainment among women.
Education is one of the most important means of empowering
women with the knowledge, skills and self confidence
necessary to participate in their communities.
(6) In most societies, men traditionally have exercised
preponderant power in nearly all spheres of life. Therefore,
improving communication between men and women on reproductive
health issues and increasing their understanding of joint
responsibilities are essential to ensuring that men and women
are equal partners in public and private life.
(7) In addition to enabling women to participate in the
development of their societies, educational attainment has a
strong influence on all other aspects of family welfare,
including child survival. However, of the world'
s 130 million
children who are not enrolled in primary school, 70 percent
are girls.
(8) In a number of countries, lower rates of school
enrollment among girls, the practice of prenatal sex
selection, and higher rates of mortality among very young
girls suggest that ``son preference'' is curtailing the
access of girl children to food, health care, and education.
(9) Each year, more than 13 million children under the age
of 5 die, most from preventable causes. Wider availability of
vaccines, simple treatments for diarrheal disease and
respiratory infections, and improved nutrition could prevent
many of these deaths.
(10) Each year, 500,000 or more women worldwide die from
complications related to pregnancy, childbirth, illegal
abortion, or inadequate or inaccessible reproductive health
care services, and millions more annually suffer long-term
illness or permanent physical impairment from such causes.
(11) By mid-1993, the cumulative number of AIDS cases since
the pandemic began was estimated at 2.5 million, and an
estimated 14 million people had been infected with HIV. By
year 2000, estimates are that 40 million people will be HIV
infected.
(12) As of mid-1993, four-fifths of all persons ever
infected with HIV lived in developing countries. Women are
the fastest growing group of new cases.
(b) Declaration of Policy.--Congress declares that, to
further the United States foreign policy objective of
assisting the international community in achieving universal
availability of quality fertility regulation services and
stabilizing world population, additional objectives of the
foreign policy of the United States shall be--
[[Page
S 10976]]
(1) to help achieve universal access to basic education for
women and men, with particular priority being given to
primary and technical education and job training;
(2) to increase understanding of the consequences of
population growth through effective education strategies that
begin in primary school and continue through all levels of
formal and nonformal education and which take into account
the rights and responsibilities of parents and the needs of
children and adolescents;
(3) to reduce the gap between male and female levels of
literacy and between male and female levels of primary and
secondary school enrollment;
(4) to help ensure that women worldwide have the
opportunity to become equal partners with men in the
development of their societies;
(5) to help eliminate all forms of discrimination against
girl children and the root causes of son preference, which
result in harmful and unethical practice such as female
infanticide and prenatal sex selection;
(6) to increase public awareness of the value of girl
children through public education that promotes equal
treatment of girls and boys in health, nutrition, education,
socioeconomic and political activity, and equitable
inheritance rights;
(7) to encourage and enable men to take responsibility for
their sexual and reproductive behavior and their social and
family roles;
(8) to help ensure that women and men have the information
and means needed to achieve good reproductive health and to
exercise their reproductive rights through responsible sexual
behavior and equity in gender relations;
(9) to reduce global maternal and infant mortality rates;
and
(10) to improve worldwide maternal and child health status
and quality of life.

SEC. . HONDURAS.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In 1981, a secret Honduran army death squad known as
Battalion 316 was created. During the 1980's Battalion 316
engaged in a campaign of systematically kidnapping, torturing
and murdering suspected subversives. Victims included
Honduran students, teachers, labor leaders and journalists.
In 1993 there were 184 unsolved cases of persons who were
allegedly ``disappeared.'' They are presumed dead.
(2) At the time, Administration officials were aware of the
activities of Battalion 316 but failed to inform the
Congress. In its 1983 human rights report, the State
Department stated that ``There are no political prisoners in
Honduras.''
(b) Declassification of Documents.--It is the sense of the
Congress that the President should order the expedited
declassification of any documents in the possession of the
United States Government pertaining to persons who allegedly
``disappeared'' in Honduras, and promptly make such documents
available to Honduran authorities who are seeking to
determine the fate of these individuals.

(1) On September 26, 1994, the President declared that it
is a goal of the United States to eventually eliminate
antipersonnel landmines.
(2) On December 15, 1994, the United Nations General
Assembly adopted a resolution sponsored by the United States
which called for international efforts to eliminate
antipersonnel landmines.
(3) According to the Department of States, there are an
estimated 80,000,000 to 110,000,000 unexploded landmines in
62 countries.
(4) Antipersonnel landmines are routinely used against
civilian populations and kill and maim an estimated 70 people
each day, or 26,000 people each year.
(5) The Secretary of State has noted that landmines are
``slow-motion weapons of mass destruction''.
(6) There are hundreds of varieties of antipersonnel
landmines, from a simple type available at a cost of only two
dollars to the more complex self-destructing type, and all
landmines of whatever variety kill and maim civilians, as
well as combatants, indiscriminately.
(b) Conventional Weapons Convention Review.--It is the
sense of Congress that, at the United Nations conference to
review the 1980 Conventional Weapons Convention, including
Protocol II on landmines, that is to be held from September
25 to October 13, 1995, the President should actively support
proposals to modify Protocol II that would implement as
rapidly as possible the United States goal of eventually
eliminating antipersonnel landmines.
(c) Moratorium on Use of Antipersonnel Landmines.--
(1) United States Moratorium.--(A) For a period of one year
beginning three years after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the United States shall not use antipersonnel landmines
except along internationally recognized national

Mr. SIMPSON submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to
the bill,
S. 908, supra; as follows:
On page 124, below line 20, add the following:
TITLE VII--POPULATION STABILIZATION AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``International Population
Stabilization and Reproductive Health Act''.
SEC. 702. AUTHORITIES RELATING TO UNITED STATES POPULATION
ASSISTANCE.
Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended--
(1) in section 104(b), by striking ``on such terms and
conditions as he may determine'' and inserting ``in
accordance with the provisions of chapter 12''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new chapter:
``CHAPTER 12--UNITED STATES POPULATION ASSISTANCE
``Sec. 499. Definition.--For purposes of this chapter, the
term `United States population assistance' means assistance
provided under section 104(b) of this Act.
``Sec. 499A. Congressional Findings.--The Congress makes
the following findings:
``(1) Throughout much of the developing world, the
inability of women and couples to exercise choice over
childbearing undermines the role of women in economic
development, contributes to death and suffering among women
and their children, puts pressure on the environment and the
natural resources on which many poor families depend for
their survival, and in other ways vitiates the efforts of
families to lift themselves out of the poverty in which more
than one billion of the world'
s 5.7 billion people live.
``(2) Through 2015, the world's population will continue to
grow, with annual population increments predicted to be above
86 million. This will lead to a tripling of the world's
population before stabilization can occur.
``(3) As the population within individual countries grows,
cities grow rapidly, movement in and between countries
increases, and regional distributions of population become
unbalanced.
``(4) After more than a quarter century of experience and
research, a global consensus is emerging on the need for
increased international cooperation in regard to population
in the context of sustainable development.
``(5) To act effectively on this consensus, the ability to
exercise reproductive choice should be expanded through
broader dissemination of fertility regulation services that
involve women, couples, and the community and which meet
individual, family, and community needs and values.
``(6) In addition to the personal toll on families, the
impact of human population
[[Page
S 10974]]
growth and widespread poverty is evident in mounting signs of stress on
the world's environment, particularly in tropical
deforestation, erosion of arable land and watersheds,
extinction of plant and animal species, global climate
change, waste management, and air and water pollution.
``Sec. 499B. Declaration of Policy. (a) In General.--
Congress declares that to reduce population growth and
stabilize world population at the lowest level feasible and
thereby improve the health and well-being of the world's
families, to ensure the role of women in the development
process, and to protect the global environment, an important
objective of the foreign policy of the United States shall be
to assist the international community to achieve universal
availability of quality fertility regulation services through
a wide choice of safe and effective means of family planning,
including programs of public education and other health and
development efforts in support of smaller families.
``(b) Financial Targets.--The Congress endorses a target
for global expenditures in developing countries of at least
$17,000,000,000 by the year 2000 for population programs
described in section 499C, and establishes a goal for United
States population assistance by the year 2000 of
$1,850,000,000 in constant 1993 dollars.
``Sec. 499C. Authorized Activities.--United States
population assistance is authorized to provide--
``(1) support for the expansion of quality, affordable,
voluntary family planning services, which emphasize informed
choice among a variety of safe and effective fertility
regulation methods and closely related reproductive health
care services, including the prevention and control of HIV-
AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and reproductive tract
infections;
``(2) support for adequate and regular supplies of quality
contraceptives, quality family planning counseling,
information, education, communication, and services
emphasizing the use of the mass media to improve public
knowledge of fertility regulation and related disease
prevention methods and where they may be obtained and to
promote the benefits of family planning and reproductive
health to individuals, families, and communities;
``(3) support to United States and foreign research
institutions and other appropriate entities for biomedical
research to develop and evaluate improved methods of safe
fertility regulation and related disease control, with
particular emphasis on methods which--
``(A) are likely to be safer, easier to use, easier to make
available in developing country settings, and less expensive
than current methods;
``(B) are controlled by women, including barrier methods
and vaginal microbicides;
``(C) are likely to prevent the spread of sexually
transmitted diseases; and
``(D) encourage and allow men to take greater
responsibility for their own fertility;
``(4) support for field research on the characteristics of
programs most likely to result in sustained use of effective
family planning in meeting each individual's lifetime
reproductive goals, with particular emphasis on the
perspectives of family planning users, including support for
relevant social and behavioral research focusing on such
factors as the use, nonuse, and unsafe or ineffective use of
various fertility regulation and related-disease control
methods;
``(5) support for the development of new evaluation
techniques and performance criteria for family planning
programs, emphasizing the family planning user's perspective
and reproductive goals;
``(6) support for research and research dissemination
related to population policy development, including
demographic and health surveys to assess population trends,
measure unmet needs, and evaluate program impact, and support
for policy-relevant research on the relationships between
population trends, poverty, and environmental management,
including implications for sustainable agriculture,
agroforestry, biodiversity, water resources, energy use, and
local and global climate change;
``(7) support for prevention of unsafe abortions and
management of complications of unsafe abortions, including
research and public information dissemination on the health
and welfare consequences;
``(8) support for special programs to reach adolescents and
young adults before they begin childbearing, including health
education programs which stress responsible parenthood and
the health risks of unprotected sexual intercourse, as well
as service programs designed to meet the information and
contraception needs of adolescents;
``(9) support for a broad array of governmental and
nongovernmental communication strategies designed--
``(A) to create public awareness worldwide;
``(B) to generate a consensus on the need to address
reproductive health issues and the problems associated with
rapid population growth;
``(C) to emphasize the need to educate men as well as women
and mobilize their support for reproductive rights and
responsibilities; and
``(D) to remove all major remaining barriers to family
planning use, including unnecessary legal, medical, clinical,
and regulatory barriers to information and methods, and to
make family planning an established community norm; and
``(10) support for programs and strategies that actively
discourage harmful practices such as female genital
mutilation.
``Sec. 499D. Terms and Conditions.--United States
population assistance is authorized to be provided subject to
the restrictions on such assistance set forth in section
104(f) and subject to the following conditions:
``(1) Such assistance may only support, directly or through
referral, those activities which provide a broad range of
fertility regulation methods permitted by individual country
policy and a broad choice of public and private family
planning services, including networks for community-based and
subsidized commercial distribution of high quality
contraceptives.
``(2) No program supported by United States population
assistance may deny an individual family planning services
because of such individual's inability to pay all or part of
the cost of such services.
``(3) In each recipient country, programs supported by
United States population assistance shall, to the extent
possible, support a coordinated approach, consistent with
respect for the rights of women as decisionmakers in matters
of reproduction and sexuality, for the provision of public
and private reproductive health services.
``(4) Family planning services and related reproductive
health care services supported by United States population
assistance shall ensure--
(A) privacy and confidentiality; maintain the highest
medical standards possible under local conditions; and
(B) regular oversight of the quality of medical care and
other services offered, including followup care.
``(5) United States population assistance programs shall
furnish only those contraceptive drugs and devices which have
received approval for marketing in the United States by the
Food and Drug Administration or which have been tested and
determined to be safe and effective under research protocols
comparable to those required by the Food and Drug
Administration or have been determined to be safe by an
appropriate international organization or the relevant health
authority in the country to which they are provided.
``(6) Family planning services supported by United States
population assistance shall be designed to take into account
the needs of the family planning user, including the
constraints on women's time, by involving members of the
community, including both men and women, in the design,
management, and ongoing evaluation of the services through
appropriate training and recruitment efforts. The design of
services shall stress easy accessibility, by locating
services as close as possible to potential users, by keeping
hours of service convenient, and by improving communications
between users and providers through community outreach and
involvement. Related service shall be included, either on
site or through referral.
``(7) United States population assistance to adolescent
fertility programs shall be provided in the context of
prevailing norms and customs in the recipient country.
``(8)(A) Programs supported by United States population
assistance shall--
``(i) support the prevention of the spread of sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV-AIDS infection;
``(ii) raise awareness regarding STDs and HIV-AIDS
prevention and consequences;
``(iii) provide quality counselling to individuals with
STDs and HIV-AIDS infection in a manner which respects
individual rights and confidentiality; and
``(iv) ensure the protection of both patients and health
personnel from infection in clinics.

``(9) None of the funds made available by the United States
Government to foreign governments, international
organizations, or nongovernmental organizations may be used
to coerce any person to undergo sterilization or abortion or
to accept any other method of fertility regulation.
``Sec. 499E. Eligibility for Population Assistance. (a)
Eligible Countries.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, United States population assistance shall be available,
directly or through intermediary organizations, to any
country which the President determines has met one or more of
the following criteria:
``(1) The country accounts for a significant proportion of
the world's annual population increment.
``(2) The country has significant unmet needs for fertility
regulation and requires foreign assistance to implement,
expand, or sustain quality family planning services for all
its people.
``(3) The country demonstrates a strong policy commitment
to population stabilization through the expansion of
reproductive choice.
``(b) Eligibility of Nongovernmental and Multilateral
Organizations.--In determining eligibility for United States
population assistance, the President shall not subject
nongovernmental and multilateral organizations to
requirements which are more restrictive than requirements
applicable to foreign governments for such assistance.
``Sec. 499F. Participation in Multilateral Organizations.
(a) Finding.--The Congress recognizes that the recent
attention, in government policies toward population
stabilization owes much to the efforts of the
[[Page
S 10975]]
United Nations and its specialized agencies and organizations,
particularly the United Nations Population Fund.
``(b) Availability of Funds.--United States population
assistance shall be available for contributions to the United
Nations Population Fund in such amounts as the President
determines would be commensurate with United States
contributions to other multilateral organizations and with
the contributions of other donor countries.
``(c) Prohibitions.--(1) The prohibitions contained in
section 104(f) of this Act shall apply to the funds made
available for the United Nations Population Fund.
``(2) No United States population assistance may be
available to the United Nations Population Fund unless such
assistance is held in a separate account and not commingled
with any other funds.
``(3) No funds may be available for the United Nations
Population Fund unless the Fund agrees to prohibit the use of
those funds to carry out any program, project, or activity
that involves the use of coerced abortion or involuntary
sterilization.
``(4) None of the funds made available to the United
Nations Population Fund shall be available for activities in
the People's Republic of China.
``(d) Allocation of Funds.--Of the funds made available for
United States population assistance, the President shall make
available for the Special Programme of Research, Development
and Research Training in Human Reproduction for each of the
fiscal years 1995 and 1996 an amount commensurate with the
contributions of the other donor countries for the purpose of
furthering international cooperation in the development and
evaluation of fertility regulation technology.
``Sec. 499G. Support for Nongovernmental Organizations. (a)
Finding.--Congress finds that in many developing countries,
nongovernmental entities, including private and voluntary
organizations and private sector entities, are the most
appropriate and effective providers of United States
assistance to population and family planning activities.
``(b) Procedures.--The President shall establish simplified
procedures for the development and approval of programs to be
carried out by nongovernmental organizations that have
demonstrated--
``(1) a capacity to undertake effective population and
family planning activities which encourage significant
involvement by private health practitioners, employer-based
health services, unions, and cooperative health
organizations; and
``(2) a commitment to quality reproductive health care for
women.
``(c) Priority for Nongovernmental Organizations.--The
largest share of United States population assistance made
available for any fiscal year shall be made available through
United States and foreign nongovernmental organizations.
``Sec. 499H. Reports to Congress.--The President shall
prepare and submit to the Congress, as part of the annual
presentation materials on foreign assistance, a report on
world progress toward population stabilization and universal
reproductive choice. The report shall include--
``(1) estimates of expenditures on the population
activities described in section 499C by national governments,
donor agencies, and private sector entities;
``(2) an analysis by country and region of the impact of
population trends on a set of key social, economic,
political, and environment indicators, which shall be

and such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 1997 to
carry out subsection (b) of this section; and''.
SEC. 704. OVERSIGHT OF MULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) multilateral development banks have an important role
to play in global population efforts;
(2) although the increased commitment by multilateral
development banks to population-related activities is
encouraging, together the banks provided less than
$200,000,000 in 1994 in assistance for core population
programs, and their overall lending for population, health,
and nutrition decreased by more than one-half between 1993
and 1994; and
(3) the banks themselves have recognized a need to improve
oversight of programs, strengthen the technical skills of
their personnel, and improve their capacity to work with
borrowers, other donors, and nongovernmental organizations in
formulating creative population projects to meet diverse
borrower needs.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that the multilateral development banks should increase their
annual support for the population activities described in
section 499C of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as added
by this Act, to not less than a total of $1,000,000,000 by
December 31, 2000.
(c) Report Required.--Not later than July 31 of each year,
the Secretary of the Treasury shall prepare and transmit to
Congress a report which includes, with respect to the
preceding calendar year--
(1) information on the resources made available by each
multilateral development bank for the population activities
described in section 499C of the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961, as added by this Act;
(2) if such resources total less than $1,000,000,000, any
specific actions taken by the United States executive
directors to the banks to encourage increases in such
resources and in policy-level discussions with donor and
developing country governments; and
(3) an analysis of the progress made by the banks towards--
(A) meeting the objectives of the population activities
which are supported by the banks;
(B) increasing their in-country management staff;
(C) improving the technical skills of their personnel; and
(D) assuring their responsiveness to borrower needs.
(d) Definition.--As used in this section, the term
``multilateral development banks'' means the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International
Development Association, the African Development Bank, the
Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank,
and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
SEC. 705. ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES TO
STABILIZE WORLD POPULATION.
(a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress makes the
following findings:
(1) Women represent 50 percent of the world's human
resource potential. Therefore, improving the health, social,
and economic status of women and increasing their
productivity are essential for economic progress in all
countries. Improving the status of women also enhances their
decisionmaking capacity at all levels in all spheres of life,
including in the area of reproductive health.
(2) Throughout the world, women who participate in the
social, economic, and political affairs of their communities
are more likely to exercise their choice about childbearing
than women who do not participate in such activities.
(3) Effective economic development strategies address
issues such as infant and child survival rates, educational
opportunities for girls and women, and equality in
development.
(4) Comprehensive population stabilization efforts which
include both family planning services and economic
development activities achieve lower birth rates and
stimulate more development than those which pursue these
objectives independently.
(5) The most powerful, long-term influence on birthrates is
education, especially educational attainment among women.
Education is one of the most important means of empowering
women with the knowledge, skills and self confidence
necessary to participate in their communities.
(6) In most societies, men traditionally have exercised
preponderant power in nearly all spheres of life. Therefore,
improving communication between men and women on reproductive
health issues and increasing their understanding of joint
responsibilities are essential to ensuring that men and women
are equal partners in public and private life.
(7) In addition to enabling women to participate in the
development of their societies, educational attainment has a
strong influence on all other aspects of family welfare,
including child survival. However, of the world'
s 130 million
children who are not enrolled in primary school, 70 percent
are girls.
(8) In a number of countries, lower rates of school
enrollment among girls, the practice of prenatal sex
selection, and higher rates of mortality among very young
girls suggest that ``son preference'' is curtailing the
access of girl children to food, health care, and education.
(9) Each year, more than 13 million children under the age
of 5 die, most from preventable causes. Wider availability of
vaccines, simple treatments for diarrheal disease and
respiratory infections, and improved nutrition could prevent
many of these deaths.
(10) Each year, 500,000 or more women worldwide die from
complications related to pregnancy, childbirth, illegal
abortion, or inadequate or inaccessible reproductive health
care services, and millions more annually suffer long-term
illness or permanent physical impairment from such causes.
(11) By mid-1993, the cumulative number of AIDS cases since
the pandemic began was estimated at 2.5 million, and an
estimated 14 million people had been infected with HIV. By
year 2000, estimates are that 40 million people will be HIV
infected.
(12) As of mid-1993, four-fifths of all persons ever
infected with HIV lived in developing countries. Women are
the fastest growing group of new cases.
(b) Declaration of Policy.--Congress declares that, to
further the United States foreign policy objective of
assisting the international community in achieving universal
availability of quality fertility regulation services and
stabilizing world population, additional objectives of the
foreign policy of the United States shall be--
[[Page
S 10976]]
(1) to help achieve universal access to basic education for
women and men, with particular priority being given to
primary and technical education and job training;
(2) to increase understanding of the consequences of
population growth through effective education strategies that
begin in primary school and continue through all levels of
formal and nonformal education and which take into account
the rights and responsibilities of parents and the needs of
children and adolescents;
(3) to reduce the gap between male and female levels of
literacy and between male and female levels of primary and
secondary school enrollment;
(4) to help ensure that women worldwide have the
opportunity to become equal partners with men in the
development of their societies;
(5) to help eliminate all forms of discrimination against
girl children and the root causes of son preference, which
result in harmful and unethical practice such as female
infanticide and prenatal sex selection;
(6) to increase public awareness of the value of girl
children through public education that promotes equal
treatment of girls and boys in health, nutrition, education,
socioeconomic and political activity, and equitable
inheritance rights;
(7) to encourage and enable men to take responsibility for
their sexual and reproductive behavior and their social and
family roles;
(8) to help ensure that women and men have the information
and means needed to achieve good reproductive health and to
exercise their reproductive rights through responsible sexual
behavior and equity in gender relations;
(9) to reduce global maternal and infant mortality rates;
and
(10) to improve worldwide maternal and child health status
and quality of life.
(c) Authorized Activities.--United States development
assistance shall be available, on a priority basis, for--
(1) countries which either have adopted and implemented, or
have agreed to adopt and implement, strategies to help
ensure--
(A) before 2015, the achievement of the goal of universal
primary education for girls and boys in all countries and

2015, to reduce the country's infant mortality rate below 35
per 1,000 births and the under-5 mortality rate below 45 per
1,000;
(C) by 2005, to reduce maternal mortality by one-half of
the 1990 level and by a further one-half by 2015;
(D) by 2005, to reduce significantly malnutrition among the

(E) to maintain immunizations against childhood diseases
for significant segments of the country's children; and
(F) to reduce the number of childhood deaths in the country
which result from diarrheal disease and acute respiratory
infections;
(3) governmental and nongovernmental programs which are
intended to increase women's productivity and ensure equal
participation and equitable representation at all levels of

society through--
(A) improved access to appropriate labor-saving technology,
vocational training, and extension services and access to
credit and child care;
(B) equal participation of women and men in all areas of
family and household responsibilities, including family
planning, financial support, child rearing, children's
education, and maternal and child health and nutrition;
(C) fulfillment of the potential of women through
education, skill development and employment, with the
elimination of poverty, illiteracy and poor health among
women being of paramount importance; and
(D) recognition and promotion of the equal value of
children of both sexes;
(4) governmental and nongovernmental programs which are
intended to increase the access of girls and women to
comprehensive reproductive health care services pursuant to
subsection (d); and
(5) governmental and nongovernmental programs which are
intended to eliminate all forms of exploitation, abuse,
harassment, and violence against women, adolescents, and
children.

SEC. . HONDURAS.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In 1981, a secret Honduran army death squad known as
Battalion 316 was created. During the 1980's Battalion 316
engaged in a campaign of systematically kidnapping, torturing
and murdering suspected subversives. Victims included
Honduran students, teachers, labor leaders and journalists.
In 1993 there were 184 unsolved cases of persons who were
allegedly ``disappeared.'' They are presumed dead.
(2) At the time, Administration officials were aware of the
activities of Battalion 316 but failed to inform the
Congress. In its 1983 human rights report, the State
Department stated that ``There are no political prisoners in
Honduras.''
(b) Declassification of Documents.--It is the sense of the
Congress that the President should order the expedited
declassification of any documents in the possession of the
United States Government pertaining to persons who allegedly
``disappeared'' in Honduras, and promptly make such documents
available to Honduran authorities who are seeking to
determine the fate of these individuals.

(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On September 26, 1994, the President declared that it
is a goal of the United States to eventually eliminate
antipersonnel landmines.
(2) On December 15, 1994, the United Nations General
Assembly adopted a resolution sponsored by the United States
which called for international efforts to eliminate
antipersonnel landmines.
(3) According to the Department of States, there are an
estimated 80,000,000 to 110,000,000 unexploded landmines in
62 countries.
(4) Antipersonnel landmines are routinely used against
civilian populations and kill and maim an estimated 70 people
each day, or 26,000 people each year.
(5) The Secretary of State has noted that landmines are
``slow-motion weapons of mass destruction''.
(6) There are hundreds of varieties of antipersonnel
landmines, from a simple type available at a cost of only two
dollars to the more complex self-destructing type, and all
landmines of whatever variety kill and maim civilians, as
well as combatants, indiscriminately.
(b) Conventional Weapons Convention Review.--It is the
sense of Congress that, at the United Nations conference to
review the 1980 Conventional Weapons Convention, including
Protocol II on landmines, that is to be held from September
25 to October 13, 1995, the President should actively support
proposals to modify Protocol II that would implement as
rapidly as possible the United States goal of eventually
eliminating antipersonnel landmines.
(c) Moratorium on Use of Antipersonnel Landmines.--
(1) United States Moratorium.--(A) For a period of one year
beginning three years after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the United States shall not use antipersonnel landmines
except along internationally recognized

TITLE VII--POPULATION STABILIZATION AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``International Population
Stabilization and Reproductive Health Act''.
SEC. 702. AUTHORITIES RELATING TO UNITED STATES POPULATION
ASSISTANCE.
Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended--
(1) in section 104(b), by striking ``on such terms and
conditions as he may determine'' and inserting ``in
accordance with the provisions of chapter 12''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new chapter:
``CHAPTER 12--UNITED STATES POPULATION ASSISTANCE
``Sec. 499. Definition.--For purposes of this chapter, the
term `United States population assistance' means assistance
provided under section 104(b) of this Act.
``Sec. 499A. Congressional Findings.--The Congress makes
the following findings:
``(1) Throughout much of the developing world, the
inability of women and couples to exercise choice over
childbearing undermines the role of women in economic
development, contributes to death and suffering among women
and their children, puts pressure on the environment and the
natural resources on which many poor families depend for
their survival, and in other ways vitiates the efforts of
families to lift themselves out of the poverty in which more
than one billion of the world'
s 5.7 billion people live.
``(2) Through 2015, the world's population will continue to
grow, with annual population increments predicted to be above
86 million. This will lead to a tripling of the world's
population before stabilization can occur.
``(3) As the population within individual countries grows,
cities grow rapidly, movement in and between countries
increases, and regional distributions of population become
unbalanced.
``(4) After more than a quarter century of experience and
research, a global consensus is emerging on the need for
increased international cooperation in regard to population
in the context of sustainable development.
``(5) To act effectively on this consensus, the ability to
exercise reproductive choice should be expanded through
broader dissemination of fertility regulation services that
involve women, couples, and the community and which meet
individual, family, and community needs and values.
``(6) In addition to the personal toll on families, the
impact of human population
[[Page
S 10974]]
growth and widespread poverty is evident in mounting signs of stress on
the world's environment, particularly in tropical
deforestation, erosion of arable land and watersheds,
extinction of plant and animal species, global climate
change, waste management, and air and water pollution.
``Sec. 499B. Declaration of Policy. (a) In General.--
Congress declares that to reduce population growth and
stabilize world population at the lowest level feasible and
thereby improve the health and well-being of the world's
families, to ensure the role of women in the development
process, and to protect the global environment, an important
objective of the foreign policy of the United States shall be
to assist the international community to achieve universal
availability of quality fertility regulation services through
a wide choice of safe and effective means of family planning,
including programs of public education and other health and
development efforts in support of smaller families.
``(b) Financial Targets.--The Congress endorses a target
for global expenditures in developing countries of at least
$17,000,000,000 by the year 2000 for population programs
described in section 499C, and establishes a goal for United
States population assistance by the year 2000 of
$1,850,000,000 in constant 1993 dollars.
``Sec. 499C. Authorized Activities.--United States
population assistance is authorized to provide--
``(1) support for the expansion of quality, affordable,
voluntary family planning services, which emphasize informed
choice among a variety of safe and effective fertility
regulation methods and closely related reproductive health
care services, including the prevention and control of HIV-
AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and reproductive tract
infections;

evaluation of fertility regulation technology.
``Sec. 499G. Support for Nongovernmental Organizations. (a)
Finding.--Congress finds that in many developing countries,
nongovernmental entities, including private and voluntary
organizations and private sector entities, are the most
appropriate and effective providers of United States
assistance to population and family planning activities.

procedures for the development and approval of programs to be
carried out by nongovernmental organizations that have
demonstrated--
``(1) a capacity to undertake effective population and

SEC. 704. OVERSIGHT OF MULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) multilateral development banks have an important role
to play in global population efforts;
(2) although the increased commitment by multilateral
development banks to population-related activities is
encouraging, together the banks provided less than
$200,000,000 in 1994 in assistance for core population
programs, and their overall lending for population, health,
and nutrition decreased by more than one-half between 1993
and 1994; and
(3) the banks themselves have recognized a need to improve
oversight of programs, strengthen the technical skills of
their personnel, and improve their capacity to work with
borrowers, other donors, and nongovernmental organizations in
formulating creative population projects to meet diverse
borrower needs.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that the multilateral development banks should increase their
annual support for the population activities described in
section 499C of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as added
by this Act, to not less than a total of $1,000,000,000 by
December 31, 2000.
(c) Report Required.--Not later than July 31 of each year,
the Secretary of the Treasury shall prepare and transmit to
Congress a report which includes, with respect to the
preceding calendar year--
(1) information on the resources made available by each
multilateral development bank for the population activities
described in section 499C of the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961, as added by this Act;
(2) if such resources total less than $1,000,000,000, any
specific actions taken by the United States executive
directors to the banks to encourage increases in such
resources and in policy-level discussions with donor and
developing country governments; and
(3) an analysis of the progress made by the banks towards--
(A) meeting the objectives of the population activities
which are supported by the banks;
(B) increasing their in-country management staff;
(C) improving the technical skills of their personnel; and
(D) assuring their responsiveness to borrower needs.
(d) Definition.--As used in this section, the term
``multilateral development banks'' means the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International
Development Association, the African Development Bank, the
Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank,
and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
SEC. 705. ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES TO
STABILIZE WORLD POPULATION.
(a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress makes the
following findings:
(1) Women represent 50 percent of the world's human
resource potential. Therefore, improving the health, social,
and economic status of women and increasing their
productivity are essential for economic progress in all
countries. Improving the status of women also enhances their
decisionmaking capacity at all levels in all spheres of life,
including in the area of reproductive health.
(2) Throughout the world, women who participate in the
social, economic, and political affairs of their communities
are more likely to exercise their choice about childbearing
than women who do not participate in such activities.
(3) Effective economic development strategies address
issues such as infant and child survival rates, educational
opportunities for girls and women, and equality in
development.
(4) Comprehensive population stabilization efforts which
include both family planning services and economic
development activities achieve lower birth rates and
stimulate more development than those which pursue these
objectives independently.
(5) The most powerful, long-term influence on birthrates is
education, especially educational attainment among women.
Education is one of the most important means of empowering
women with the knowledge, skills and self confidence
necessary to participate in their communities.
(6) In most societies, men traditionally have exercised
preponderant power in nearly all spheres of life. Therefore,
improving communication between men and women on reproductive
health issues and increasing their understanding of joint
responsibilities are essential to ensuring that men and women
are equal partners in public and private life.
(7) In addition to enabling women to participate in the
development of their societies, educational attainment has a
strong influence on all other aspects of family welfare,
including child survival. However, of the world'
s 130 million
children who are not enrolled in primary school, 70 percent
are girls.
(8) In a number of countries, lower rates of school
enrollment among girls, the practice of prenatal sex
selection, and higher rates of mortality among very young
girls suggest that ``son preference'' is curtailing the
access of girl children to food, health care, and education.
(9) Each year, more than 13 million children under the age
of 5 die, most from preventable causes. Wider availability of
vaccines, simple treatments for diarrheal disease and
respiratory infections, and improved nutrition could prevent
many of these deaths.
(10) Each year, 500,000 or more women worldwide die from
complications related to pregnancy, childbirth, illegal
abortion, or inadequate or inaccessible reproductive health
care services, and millions more annually suffer long-term
illness or permanent physical impairment from such causes.
(11) By mid-1993, the cumulative number of AIDS cases since
the pandemic began was estimated at 2.5 million, and an
estimated 14 million people had been infected with HIV. By
year 2000, estimates are that 40 million people will be HIV
infected.
(12) As of mid-1993, four-fifths of all persons ever
infected with HIV lived in developing countries. Women are
the fastest growing group of new cases.
(b) Declaration of Policy.--Congress declares that, to
further the United States foreign policy objective of
assisting the international community in achieving universal
availability of quality fertility regulation services and
stabilizing world population, additional objectives of the
foreign policy of the United States shall be--
[[Page
S 10976]]
(1) to help achieve universal access to basic education for
women and men, with particular priority being given to
primary and technical education and job training;
(2) to increase understanding of the consequences of
population growth through effective education strategies that
begin in primary school and continue through all levels of
formal and nonformal education and which take into account
the rights and responsibilities of parents and the needs of
children and adolescents;
(3) to reduce the gap between male and female levels of
literacy and between male and female levels of primary and
secondary school enrollment;
(4) to help ensure that women worldwide have the
opportunity to become equal partners with men in the
development of their societies;
(5) to help eliminate all forms of discrimination against
girl children and the root causes of son preference, which
result in harmful and unethical practice such as female
infanticide and prenatal sex selection;
(6) to increase public awareness of the value of girl
children through public education that promotes equal
treatment of girls and boys in health, nutrition, education,
socioeconomic and political activity, and equitable
inheritance rights;
(7) to encourage and enable men to take responsibility for
their sexual and reproductive behavior and their social and
family roles;
(8) to help ensure that women and men have the information
and means needed to achieve good reproductive health and to
exercise their reproductive rights through responsible sexual
behavior and equity in gender relations;
(9) to reduce global maternal and infant mortality rates;
and
(10) to improve worldwide maternal and child health status
and quality of life.
(c) Authorized Activities.--United States development
assistance shall be available, on a priority basis, for--

2015, to reduce the country's infant mortality rate below 35
per 1,000 births and the under-5 mortality rate below 45 per
1,000;
(C) by 2005, to reduce maternal mortality by one-half of
the 1990 level and by a further one-half by 2015;

infections;
(3) governmental and nongovernmental programs which are
intended to increase women's productivity and ensure equal
participation and equitable representation at all levels of
the political process and public life in each community and
society through--
(A) improved access to appropriate labor-saving technology,
vocational training, and extension services and access to
credit and child care;
(B) equal participation of women and men in all areas of
family and household responsibilities, including family
planning, financial support, child rearing, children's
education, and maternal and child health and nutrition;
(C) fulfillment of the potential of women through
education, skill development and employment, with the
elimination of poverty, illiteracy and poor health among
women being of paramount importance; and
(D) recognition and promotion of the equal value of
children of both sexes;
(4) governmental and nongovernmental programs which are
intended to increase the access of girls and women to
comprehensive reproductive health care services pursuant to
subsection (d); and
(5) governmental and nongovernmental programs which are
intended to eliminate all forms of exploitation, abuse,
harassment, and violence against women, adolescents, and
children.
(d) Safe Motherhood Initiative.--(1)(A) The President is
authorized to establish a grant program, to be known as the
Safe Motherhood Initiative, to help improve the access of
girls and women worldwide to comprehensive reproductive

At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:
SEC. . HONDURAS.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In 1981, a secret Honduran army death squad known as
Battalion 316 was created. During the 1980's Battalion 316
engaged in a campaign of systematically kidnapping, torturing
and murdering suspected subversives. Victims included
Honduran students, teachers, labor leaders and journalists.
In 1993 there were 184 unsolved cases of persons who were
allegedly ``disappeared.'' They are presumed dead.
(2) At the time, Administration officials were aware of the
activities of Battalion 316 but failed to inform the
Congress. In its 1983 human rights report, the State
Department stated that ``There are no political prisoners in
Honduras.''
(b) Declassification of Documents.--It is the sense of the
Congress that the President should order the expedited
declassification of any documents in the possession of the
United States Government pertaining to persons who allegedly
``disappeared'' in Honduras, and promptly make such documents
available to Honduran authorities who are seeking to
determine the fate of these individuals.

LEAHY AMENDMENT NO. 1889
(Ordered to lie on the table.)
Mr. LEAHY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to
the bill,
S. 908, supra; as follows:
At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:
SEC. . LANDMINE USE MORATORIUM.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On September 26, 1994, the President declared that it
is a goal of the United States to eventually eliminate
antipersonnel landmines.
(2) On December 15, 1994, the United Nations General
Assembly adopted a resolution sponsored by the United States
which called for international efforts to eliminate
antipersonnel landmines.
(3) According to the Department of States, there are an
estimated 80,000,000 to 110,000,000 unexploded landmines in
62 countries.
(4) Antipersonnel landmines are routinely used against
civilian populations and kill and maim an estimated 70 people
each day, or 26,000 people each year.
(5) The Secretary of State has noted that landmines are
``slow-motion weapons of mass destruction''.
(6) There are hundreds of varieties of antipersonnel
landmines, from a simple type available at a cost of only two
dollars to the more complex self-destructing type, and all
landmines of whatever variety kill and maim civilians, as
well as combatants, indiscriminately.
(b) Conventional Weapons Convention Review.--It is the
sense of Congress that, at the United Nations conference to
review the 1980 Conventional Weapons Convention, including
Protocol II on landmines, that is to be held from September
25 to October 13, 1995, the President should actively support
proposals to modify Protocol II that would implement as
rapidly as possible the United States goal of eventually
eliminating antipersonnel landmines.
(c) Moratorium on Use of Antipersonnel Landmines.--
(1) United States Moratorium.--(A) For a period of one year
beginning three years after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the United States shall not use antipersonnel landmines
except along internationally recognized national

the bill,
S. 908, supra; as follows:
On page 124, below line 20, add the following:
TITLE VII--POPULATION STABILIZATION AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``International Population
Stabilization and Reproductive Health Act''.
SEC. 702. AUTHORITIES RELATING TO UNITED STATES POPULATION
ASSISTANCE.
Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended--
(1) in section 104(b), by striking ``on such terms and
conditions as he may determine'' and inserting ``in
accordance with the provisions of chapter 12''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new chapter:
``CHAPTER 12--UNITED STATES POPULATION ASSISTANCE
``Sec. 499. Definition.--For purposes of this chapter, the
term `United States population assistance' means assistance
provided under section 104(b) of this Act.
``Sec. 499A. Congressional Findings.--The Congress makes
the following findings:
``(1) Throughout much of the developing world, the
inability of women and couples to exercise choice over
childbearing undermines the role of women in economic
development, contributes to death and suffering among women
and their children, puts pressure on the environment and the
natural resources on which many poor families depend for
their survival, and in other ways vitiates the efforts of
families to lift themselves out of the poverty in which more
than one billion of the world'
s 5.7 billion people live.
``(2) Through 2015, the world's population will continue to
grow, with annual population increments predicted to be above
86 million. This will lead to a tripling of the world's
population before stabilization can occur.
``(3) As the population within individual countries grows,
cities grow rapidly, movement in and between countries
increases, and regional distributions of population become
unbalanced.
``(4) After more than a quarter century of experience and
research, a global consensus is emerging on the need for
increased international cooperation in regard to population
in the context of sustainable development.
``(5) To act effectively on this consensus, the ability to
exercise reproductive choice should be expanded through
broader dissemination of fertility regulation services that
involve women, couples, and the community and which meet
individual, family, and community needs and values.
``(6) In addition to the personal toll on families, the
impact of human population
[[Page
S 10974]]
growth and widespread poverty is evident in mounting signs of stress on
the world's environment, particularly in tropical
deforestation, erosion of arable land and watersheds,
extinction of plant and animal species, global climate
change, waste management, and air and water pollution.
``Sec. 499B. Declaration of Policy. (a) In General.--
Congress declares that to reduce population growth and
stabilize world population at the lowest level feasible and
thereby improve the health and well-being of the world's
families, to ensure the role of women in the development
process, and to protect the global environment, an important
objective of the foreign policy of the United States shall be
to assist the international community to achieve universal
availability of quality fertility regulation services through
a wide choice of safe and effective means of family planning,
including programs of public education and other health and
development efforts in support of smaller families.
``(b) Financial Targets.--The Congress endorses a target
for global expenditures in developing countries of at least
$17,000,000,000 by the year 2000 for population programs
described in section 499C, and establishes a goal for United
States population assistance by the year 2000 of
$1,850,000,000 in constant 1993 dollars.
``Sec. 499C. Authorized Activities.--United States
population assistance is authorized to provide--
``(1) support for the expansion of quality, affordable,
voluntary family planning services, which emphasize informed
choice among a variety of safe and effective fertility
regulation methods and closely related reproductive health
care services, including the prevention and control of HIV-
AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and reproductive tract
infections;
``(2) support for adequate and regular supplies of quality
contraceptives, quality family planning counseling,
information, education, communication, and services
emphasizing the use of the mass media to improve public
knowledge of fertility regulation and related disease
prevention methods and where they may be obtained and to
promote the benefits of family planning and reproductive
health to individuals, families, and communities;
``(3) support to United States and foreign research
institutions and other appropriate entities for biomedical
research to develop and evaluate improved methods of safe
fertility regulation and related disease control, with
particular emphasis on methods which--
``(A) are likely to be safer, easier to use, easier to make
available in developing country settings, and less expensive
than current methods;
``(B) are controlled by women, including barrier methods
and vaginal microbicides;
``(C) are likely to prevent the spread of sexually
transmitted diseases; and
``(D) encourage and allow men to take greater
responsibility for their own fertility;
``(4) support for field research on the characteristics of
programs most likely to result in sustained use of effective
family planning in meeting each individual's lifetime
reproductive goals, with particular emphasis on the
perspectives of family planning users, including support for
relevant social and behavioral research focusing on such
factors as the use, nonuse, and unsafe or ineffective use of
various fertility regulation and related-disease control
methods;
``(5) support for the development of new evaluation
techniques and performance criteria for family planning
programs, emphasizing the family planning user's perspective
and reproductive goals;
``(6) support for research and research dissemination
related to population policy development, including
demographic and health surveys to assess population trends,
measure unmet needs, and evaluate program impact, and support
for policy-relevant research on the relationships between
population trends, poverty, and environmental management,
including implications for sustainable agriculture,
agroforestry, biodiversity, water resources, energy use, and
local and global climate change;
``(7) support for prevention of unsafe abortions and
management of complications of unsafe abortions, including
research and public information dissemination on the health
and welfare consequences;
``(8) support for special programs to reach adolescents and
young adults before they begin childbearing, including health
education programs which stress responsible parenthood and
the health risks of unprotected sexual intercourse, as well
as service programs designed to meet the information and
contraception needs of adolescents;
``(9) support for a broad array of governmental and
nongovernmental communication strategies designed--
``(A) to create public awareness worldwide;
``(B) to generate a consensus on the need to address
reproductive health issues and the problems associated with
rapid population growth;
``(C) to emphasize the need to educate men as well as women
and mobilize their support for reproductive rights and
responsibilities; and
``(D) to remove all major remaining barriers to family
planning use, including unnecessary legal, medical, clinical,
and regulatory barriers to information and methods, and to
make family planning an established community norm; and
``(10) support for programs and strategies that actively
discourage harmful practices such as female genital
mutilation.
``Sec. 499D. Terms and Conditions.--United States
population assistance is authorized to be provided subject to
the restrictions on such assistance set forth in section
104(f) and subject to the following conditions:
``(1) Such assistance may only support, directly or through
referral, those activities which provide a broad range of
fertility regulation methods permitted by individual country
policy and a broad choice of public and private family
planning services, including networks for community-based and
subsidized commercial distribution of high quality
contraceptives.
``(2) No program supported by United States population
assistance may deny an individual family planning services
because of such individual's inability to pay all or part of
the cost of such services.
``(3) In each recipient country, programs supported by
United States population assistance shall, to the extent
possible, support a coordinated approach, consistent with
respect for the rights of women as decisionmakers in matters
of reproduction and sexuality, for the provision of public
and private reproductive health services.
``(4) Family planning services and related reproductive
health care services supported by United States population
assistance shall ensure--
(A) privacy and confidentiality; maintain the highest
medical standards possible under local conditions; and
(B) regular oversight of the quality of medical care and
other services offered, including followup care.
``(5) United States population assistance programs shall
furnish only those contraceptive drugs and devices which have
received approval for marketing in the United States by the
Food and Drug Administration or which have been tested and
determined to be safe and effective under research protocols
comparable to those required by the Food and Drug
Administration or have been determined to be safe by an
appropriate international organization or the relevant health
authority in the country to which they are provided.
``(6) Family planning services supported by United States
population assistance shall be designed to take into account
the needs of the family planning user, including the
constraints on women's time, by involving members of the
community, including both men and women, in the design,
management, and ongoing evaluation of the services through
appropriate training and recruitment efforts. The design of
services shall stress easy accessibility, by locating
services as close as possible to potential users, by keeping
hours of service convenient, and by improving communications
between users and providers through community outreach and
involvement. Related service shall be included, either on
site or through referral.
``(7) United States population assistance to adolescent
fertility programs shall be provided in the context of
prevailing norms and customs in the recipient country.
``(8)(A) Programs supported by United States population
assistance shall--
``(i) support the prevention of the spread of sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV-AIDS infection;
``(ii) raise awareness regarding STDs and HIV-AIDS
prevention and consequences;
``(iii) provide quality counselling to individuals with
STDs and HIV-AIDS infection in a manner which respects
individual rights and confidentiality; and
``(iv) ensure the protection of both patients and health
personnel from infection in clinics.
``(B) Responsible sexual behavior, including voluntary
abstinence, for the prevention of STDs and HIV infection
should be promoted and included in education and information
programs.
``(9) None of the funds made available by the United States
Government to foreign governments, international
organizations, or nongovernmental organizations may be used
to coerce any person to undergo sterilization or abortion or
to accept any other method of fertility regulation.
``Sec. 499E. Eligibility for Population Assistance. (a)
Eligible Countries.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, United States population assistance shall be available,
directly or through intermediary organizations, to any
country which the President determines has met one or more of
the following criteria:
``(1) The country accounts for a significant proportion of
the world's annual population increment.
``(2) The country has significant unmet needs for fertility
regulation and requires foreign assistance to implement,
expand, or sustain quality family planning services for all
its people.
``(3) The country demonstrates a strong policy commitment
to population stabilization through the expansion of
reproductive choice.
``(b) Eligibility of Nongovernmental and Multilateral
Organizations.--In determining eligibility for United States
population assistance, the President shall not subject
nongovernmental and multilateral organizations to
requirements which are more restrictive than requirements
applicable to foreign governments for such assistance.
``Sec. 499F. Participation in Multilateral Organizations.
(a) Finding.--The Congress recognizes that the recent
attention, in government policies toward population
stabilization owes much to the efforts of the
[[Page
S 10975]]
United Nations and its specialized agencies and organizations,
particularly the United Nations Population Fund.
``(b) Availability of Funds.--United States population
assistance shall be available for contributions to the United
Nations Population Fund in such amounts as the President
determines would be commensurate with United States
contributions to other multilateral organizations and with
the contributions of other donor countries.

Population Fund unless the Fund agrees to prohibit the use of
those funds to carry out any program, project, or activity
that involves the use of coerced abortion or involuntary
sterilization.
``(4) None of the funds made available to the United
Nations Population Fund shall be available for activities in
the People's Republic of China.
``(d) Allocation of Funds.--Of the funds made available for
United States population assistance, the President shall make

and Research Training in Human Reproduction for each of the
fiscal years 1995 and 1996 an amount commensurate with the
contributions of the other donor countries for the purpose of
furthering international cooperation in the development and
evaluation of fertility regulation technology.
``Sec. 499G. Support for Nongovernmental Organizations. (a)
Finding.--Congress finds that in many developing countries,
nongovernmental entities, including private and voluntary
organizations and private sector entities, are the most
appropriate and effective providers of United States
assistance to population and family planning activities.
``(b) Procedures.--The President shall establish simplified
procedures for the development and approval of programs to be
carried out by nongovernmental organizations that have
demonstrated--
``(1) a capacity to undertake effective population and
family planning activities which encourage significant
involvement by private health practitioners, employer-based
health services, unions, and cooperative health
organizations; and
``(2) a commitment to quality reproductive health care for
women.
``(c) Priority for Nongovernmental Organizations.--The
largest share of United States population assistance made
available for any fiscal year shall be made available through

SEC. 704. OVERSIGHT OF MULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) multilateral development banks have an important role
to play in global population efforts;
(2) although the increased commitment by multilateral
development banks to population-related activities is
encouraging, together the banks provided less than
$200,000,000 in 1994 in assistance for core population
programs, and their overall lending for population, health,
and nutrition decreased by more than one-half between 1993
and 1994; and
(3) the banks themselves have recognized a need to improve
oversight of programs, strengthen the technical skills of
their personnel, and improve their capacity to work with
borrowers, other donors, and nongovernmental organizations in
formulating creative population projects to meet diverse
borrower needs.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that the multilateral development banks should increase their
annual support for the population activities described in
section 499C of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as added
by this Act, to not less than a total of $1,000,000,000 by
December 31, 2000.
(c) Report Required.--Not later than July 31 of each year,
the Secretary of the Treasury shall prepare and transmit to
Congress a report which includes, with respect to the
preceding calendar year--
(1) information on the resources made available by each
multilateral development bank for the population activities
described in section 499C of the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961, as added by this Act;
(2) if such resources total less than $1,000,000,000, any
specific actions taken by the United States executive
directors to the banks to encourage increases in such
resources and in policy-level discussions with donor and
developing country governments; and
(3) an analysis of the progress made by the banks towards--
(A) meeting the objectives of the population activities
which are supported by the banks;
(B) increasing their in-country management staff;
(C) improving the technical skills of their personnel; and
(D) assuring their responsiveness to borrower needs.
(d) Definition.--As used in this section, the term
``multilateral development banks'' means the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International
Development Association, the African Development Bank, the
Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank,
and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
SEC. 705. ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES TO
STABILIZE WORLD POPULATION.
(a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress makes the
following findings:
(1) Women represent 50 percent of the world's human
resource potential. Therefore, improving the health, social,
and economic status of women and increasing their
productivity are essential for economic progress in all
countries. Improving the status of women also enhances their
decisionmaking capacity at all levels in all spheres of life,
including in the area of reproductive health.
(2) Throughout the world, women who participate in the
social, economic, and political affairs of their communities
are more likely to exercise their choice about childbearing
than women who do not participate in such activities.
(3) Effective economic development strategies address
issues such as infant and child survival rates, educational
opportunities for girls and women, and equality in
development.
(4) Comprehensive population stabilization efforts which
include both family planning services and economic
development activities achieve lower birth rates and
stimulate more development than those which pursue these
objectives independently.
(5) The most powerful, long-term influence on birthrates is
education, especially educational attainment among women.
Education is one of the most important means of empowering
women with the knowledge, skills and self confidence
necessary to participate in their communities.
(6) In most societies, men traditionally have exercised
preponderant power in nearly all spheres of life. Therefore,
improving communication between men and women on reproductive
health issues and increasing their understanding of joint
responsibilities are essential to ensuring that men and women
are equal partners in public and private life.
(7) In addition to enabling women to participate in the
development of their societies, educational attainment has a
strong influence on all other aspects of family welfare,
including child survival. However, of the world'
s 130 million
children who are not enrolled in primary school, 70 percent
are girls.
(8) In a number of countries, lower rates of school
enrollment among girls, the practice of prenatal sex
selection, and higher rates of mortality among very young
girls suggest that ``son preference'' is curtailing the
access of girl children to food, health care, and education.
(9) Each year, more than 13 million children under the age
of 5 die, most from preventable causes. Wider availability of
vaccines, simple treatments for diarrheal disease and
respiratory infections, and improved nutrition could prevent
many of these deaths.
(10) Each year, 500,000 or more women worldwide die from
complications related to pregnancy, childbirth, illegal
abortion, or inadequate or inaccessible reproductive health
care services, and millions more annually suffer long-term
illness or permanent physical impairment from such causes.
(11) By mid-1993, the cumulative number of AIDS cases since
the pandemic began was estimated at 2.5 million, and an
estimated 14 million people had been infected with HIV. By
year 2000, estimates are that 40 million people will be HIV
infected.
(12) As of mid-1993, four-fifths of all persons ever
infected with HIV lived in developing countries. Women are
the fastest growing group of new cases.
(b) Declaration of Policy.--Congress declares that, to
further the United States foreign policy objective of
assisting the international community in achieving universal
availability of quality fertility regulation services and
stabilizing world population, additional objectives of the
foreign policy of the United States shall be--
[[Page
S 10976]]
(1) to help achieve universal access to basic education for
women and men, with particular priority being given to
primary and technical education and job training;
(2) to increase understanding of the consequences of
population growth through effective education strategies that
begin in primary school and continue through all levels of
formal and nonformal education and which take into account
the rights and responsibilities of parents and the needs of
children and adolescents;
(3) to reduce the gap between male and female levels of
literacy and between male and female levels of primary and
secondary school enrollment;
(4) to help ensure that women worldwide have the
opportunity to become equal partners with men in the
development of their societies;
(5) to help eliminate all forms of discrimination against
girl children and the root causes of son preference, which
result in harmful and unethical practice such as female
infanticide and prenatal sex selection;
(6) to increase public awareness of the value of girl
children through public education that promotes equal
treatment of girls and boys in health, nutrition, education,
socioeconomic and political activity, and equitable
inheritance rights;
(7) to encourage and enable men to take responsibility for
their sexual and reproductive behavior and their social and
family roles;
(8) to help ensure that women and men have the information
and means needed to achieve good reproductive health and to
exercise their reproductive rights through responsible sexual
behavior and equity in gender relations;
(9) to reduce global maternal and infant mortality rates;
and
(10) to improve worldwide maternal and child health status
and quality of life.

amendment intended to be proposed by them to the bill,
S. 908, supra;

At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:
SEC. . HONDURAS.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In 1981, a secret Honduran army death squad known as
Battalion 316 was created. During the 1980's Battalion 316
engaged in a campaign of systematically kidnapping, torturing
and murdering suspected subversives. Victims included
Honduran students, teachers, labor leaders and journalists.
In 1993 there were 184 unsolved cases of persons who were
allegedly ``disappeared.'' They are presumed dead.
(2) At the time, Administration officials were aware of the
activities of Battalion 316 but failed to inform the
Congress. In its 1983 human rights report, the State
Department stated that ``There are no political prisoners in
Honduras.''
(b) Declassification of Documents.--It is the sense of the
Congress that the President should order the expedited
declassification of any documents in the possession of the
United States Government pertaining to persons who allegedly
``disappeared'' in Honduras, and promptly make such documents
available to Honduran authorities who are seeking to
determine the fate of these individuals.

SEC. . LANDMINE USE MORATORIUM.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On September 26, 1994, the President declared that it
is a goal of the United States to eventually eliminate
antipersonnel landmines.
(2) On December 15, 1994, the United Nations General
Assembly adopted a resolution sponsored by the United States
which called for international efforts to eliminate
antipersonnel landmines.
(3) According to the Department of States, there are an
estimated 80,000,000 to 110,000,000 unexploded landmines in
62 countries.
(4) Antipersonnel landmines are routinely used against
civilian populations and kill and maim an estimated 70 people
each day, or 26,000 people each year.
(5) The Secretary of State has noted that landmines are
``slow-motion weapons of mass destruction''.
(6) There are hundreds of varieties of antipersonnel
landmines, from a simple type available at a cost of only two
dollars to the more complex self-destructing type, and all
landmines of whatever variety kill and maim civilians, as
well as combatants, indiscriminately.
(b) Conventional Weapons Convention Review.--It is the
sense of Congress that, at the United Nations conference to
review the 1980 Conventional Weapons Convention, including
Protocol II on landmines, that is to be held from September
25 to October 13, 1995, the President should actively support
proposals to modify Protocol II that would implement as
rapidly as possible the United States goal of eventually
eliminating antipersonnel landmines.
(c) Moratorium on Use of Antipersonnel Landmines.--
(1) United States Moratorium.--(A) For a period of one year
beginning three years after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the United States shall not use antipersonnel landmines
except along internationally recognized
