Sec. 2373. Eastern Mediterranean policy requirements
-STATUTE-
(a) Congressional declaration and statement of findings
The Congress declares that the achievement of a just and lasting
Cyprus settlement is and will remain a central objective of United
States foreign policy. The Congress further declares that any
action of the United States with respect to section 2370(x) (!1) of
this title shall not signify a lessening of the United States
commitment to a just solution to the conflict on Cyprus but is
authorized in the expectation that this action will be conducive to
achievement of a Cyprus solution and a general improvement in
relations among Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus and between those
countries and the United States. The Congress finds that -
(1) a just settlement on Cyprus must involve the establishment
of a free and independent government on Cyprus and must guarantee
that the human rights of all of the people of Cyprus are fully
protected;
(2) a just settlement on Cyprus must include the withdrawal of
Turkish military forces from Cyprus;
(3) the guidelines for inter-communal talks agreed to in
Nicosia in February 1977 and the United Nations resolutions
regarding Cyprus provide a sound basis for negotiation of a just
settlement on Cyprus;
(4) serious negotiations, under United Nations auspices, will
be necessary to achieve agreement on, and implementation of,
constitutional and territorial terms within such guidelines; and
(5) the recent proposals by both Cypriot communities regarding
the return of the refugees to the city of New Famagusta (Varosha)
constitute a positive step and the United States should actively
support the efforts of the Secretary General of the United
Nations with respect to this issue.
(b) Governing principles
United States policy regarding Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey shall
be directed toward the restoration of a stable and peaceful
atmosphere in the Eastern Mediterranean region and shall therefore
be governed by the following principles:
(1) The United States shall actively support the resolution of
differences through negotiations and internationally established
peaceful procedures, shall encourage all parties to avoid
provocative actions, and shall strongly oppose any attempt to
resolve disputes through force or threat of force.
(2) The United States will accord full support and high
priority to efforts, particularly those of the United Nations, to
bring about a prompt, peaceful settlement on Cyprus.
(3) All defense articles furnished by the United States to
countries in the Eastern Mediterranean region will be used only
in accordance with the requirements of this chapter, the Arms
Export Control Act [22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.], and the agreements
under which those defense articles were furnished.
(4) The United States will furnish security assistance for
Greece and Turkey only when furnishing that assistance is
intended solely for defensive purposes, including when necessary
to enable the recipient country to fulfill its responsibilities
as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and shall
be designed to ensure that the present balance of military
strength among countries of the region, including between Greece
and Turkey, is preserved. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to prohibit the transfer of defense articles to Greece
or Turkey for legitimate self defense or to enable Greece or
Turkey to fulfill their North Atlantic Treaty Organization
obligations.
(5) The United States shall use its influence to ensure the
continuation of the ceasefire on Cyprus until an equitable
negotiated settlement is reached.
(6) The United States shall use its influence to achieve the
withdrawal of Turkish military forces from Cyprus in the context
of a solution to the Cyprus problem.
(c) Review of policy; report to Congress
Because progress toward a Cyprus settlement is a high priority of
United States policy in the Eastern Mediterranean, the President
and the Congress shall continually review that progress and shall
determine United States policy in the region accordingly. To
facilitate such a review the President shall, within 60 days after
the date of enactment of this section and at the end of each
succeeding 60-day period, transmit to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives and the chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations of the Senate a report on progress made toward the
conclusion of a negotiated solution of the Cyprus problem. Such
transmissions shall include any relevant reports prepared by the
Secretary General of the United Nations for the Security Council.
(d) Certification by President to Congress of assistance to Greece
and Turkey
In order to ensure that United States assistance is furnished
consistent with the policies established in this section, the
President shall, whenever requesting any funds for security
assistance under this chapter or the Arms Export Control Act [22
U.S.C. 2751 et seq.] for Greece and Turkey, transmit to the Speaker
of the House of Representatives and the chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations of the Senate his certification, with a full
explanation thereof, that the furnishing of such assistance will be
consistent with the principles set forth in subsection (b). The
President shall also submit such a certification with any
notification to the Congress, pursuant to section 36(b) of the Arms
Export Control Act [22 U.S.C. 2776(b)], of a proposed sale of
defense articles or services to Greece or Turkey.
(e) Arms sales agreements to prohibit transfer to Cyprus
(1) Any agreement for the sale or provision of any article on the
United States Munitions List (established pursuant to section 38 of
the Arms Export Control Act [22 U.S.C. 2778]) entered into by the
United States after December 22, 1987, shall expressly state that
the article is being provided by the United States only with the
understanding that it will not be transferred to Cyprus or
otherwise used to further the severance or division of Cyprus.
(2) The President shall report to Congress any substantial
evidence that equipment provided under any such agreement has been
used in a manner inconsistent with the purposes of this subsection.

SPECIAL AMBASSADORIAL COMMISSION FOR CYPRUS AND THE AEGEAN
Section 101(e) [title V, Sec. 586] of Pub. L. 100-202 provided
that:
"(a) Findings. - The Congress finds that -
"(1) the inability to achieve a just and lasting Cyprus
settlement will continue to affect relations among the United
States and its close NATO allies, Greece and Turkey, to the
detriment of larger, mutually shared, security interests in the
Eastern Mediterranean region;
"(2) it is of paramount importance that Cyprus, Greece, and
Turkey resolve their differences through negotiations and
otherwise peaceful procedures, and that the United States should
support the resolution of these differences through all the
diplomatic means at its disposal;
"(3) it is in the national interest of the United States that
the President make a significant new diplomatic demarche towards
bringing this dispute to a resolution; and
"(4) it is also in the national interest of the United States
to undertake a diplomatic initiative to promote the peaceful and
equitable resolution of differences between Greece and Turkey in
the Aegean by fostering a renewed and sustained bilateral
dialogue between those countries on such issues as: the
delineation of the continental shelf, the definition of the
territorial seas, air traffic control over the Aegean, NATO
command and control arrangements in the Aegean, and the status of
Lemnos and NATO exercises in the Aegean.
"(b) Appointment of Special Ambassador. - The President is
authorized to appoint a special ambassadorial level envoy who shall
be responsible for representing the United States in direct
negotiations with the parties to the Cyprus dispute, for
representing the United States in negotiations through
international intermediaries and, generally, lending the good
offices of the United States to the parties in this dispute in
order to facilitate a peaceful settlement on Cyprus. As agreed to
by Greece and Turkey, the special envoy shall also represent the
United States in promoting mutual discussions between those
countries concerning their differences on Aegean issues. The
special ambassador appointed under this section shall have
available the services of two deputies (one to specialize on the
Cyprus question, the other on general Aegean issues) and such
senior level Department of State personnel as may be required by
the special ambassador in order to carry out his responsibilities.
"(c) Report. - Not later than June 1, 1988, the President shall
submit a report to the Congress describing in detail the activities
being undertaken by the special ambassador, the progress being made
toward achievement of a peaceful resolution of the Cyprus dispute,
an assessment of the obstacles to achievement of such a resolution
and of the future role of the United States in acheiving [sic] a
settlement on Cyprus, and an assessment of the progress being made
toward resolution of issues affecting the Aegean region.
"(d) Funding. - Up to $500,000 of the funds appropriated under
any heading of this Act [Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and
Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1988, as enacted by section
101(e) of Pub. L. 101-202] which are allocated for Greece and up to
$500,000 of the funds appropriated under any heading of this Act
which are allocated for Turkey, may be used by the Department of
State for any administrative costs associated with the activities

RELIEF FOR AFGHAN WOMEN AND CHILDREN
Pub. L. 107-81, Dec. 12, 2001, 115 Stat. 811, provided that:
"SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
"This Act may be cited as the 'Afghan Women and Children Relief
Act of 2001'.
"SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
"Congress makes the following findings:
"(1) In Afghanistan, Taliban restrictions on women's
participation in society make it nearly impossible for women to
exercise their basic human rights. The Taliban restrictions on
Afghan women's freedom of expression, association, and movement
deny women full participation in society and, consequently, from
effectively securing basic access to work, education, and health
care.
"(2) Afghanistan has one of the highest infant (165 of 1000)
and child (257 of 1000) mortality rates in the world.
"(3) Only 5 percent of rural and 39 percent of urban Afghans
have access to safe drinking water.
"(4) It is estimated that 42 percent of all deaths in
Afghanistan are due to diarrheal diseases caused by contaminated
food and water.
"(5) Over one-third of Afghan children under 5 years of age
suffer from malnutrition, 85,000 of whom die annually.
"(6) Seventy percent of the health care system in Afghanistan
is dependent on foreign assistance.
"(7) As of May 1998, only 20 percent of hospital medical and
surgical beds dedicated to adults were available for women, and
thousands of Afghan women and girls are routinely denied health
care.
"(8) Women are forbidden to leave their homes without being
escorted by a male relative. This prevents many women from
seeking basic necessities like health care and food for their
children. Doctors, virtually all of whom are male, are also not
permitted to provide certain types of care not deemed appropriate
by the Taliban.
"(9) Before the Taliban took control of Kabul, schools were
coeducational, with women accounting for 70 percent of the
teaching force. Women represented about 50 percent of the civil
service corps, and 40 percent of the city's physicians were
women. Today, the Taliban prohibits women from working as
teachers, doctors, and in any other occupation.
"(10) The Taliban prohibit [sic] girls and women from attending
school. In 1998, the Taliban ordered the closing of more than 100
privately funded schools where thousands of young women and girls
were receiving education and training in skills that would have
helped them support themselves and their families.
"(11) Of the many tens of thousands of war widows in
Afghanistan, many are forced to beg for food and to sell their
possessions because they are not allowed to work.
"(12) Resistance movements courageously continue to educate
Afghan girls in secrecy and in foreign countries against Taliban
law.
"SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION OF ASSISTANCE.
"(a) In General. - Subject to subsection (b), the President is
authorized, on such terms and conditions as the President may
determine, to provide educational and health care assistance for
the women and children living in Afghanistan and as refugees in
neighboring countries.
"(b) Implementation. - (1) In providing assistance under
subsection (a), the President shall ensure that such assistance is
provided in a manner that protects and promotes the human rights of
all people in Afghanistan, utilizing indigenous institutions and
nongovernmental organizations, especially women's organizations, to
the extent possible.
"(2) Beginning 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act
[Dec. 12, 2001], and at least annually for the 2 years thereafter,
the Secretary of State shall submit a report to the Committee on
Appropriations and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate
and the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on
International Relations of the House of Representatives describing
the activities carried out under this Act and otherwise describing
the condition and status of women and children in Afghanistan and
the persons in refugee camps while United States aid is given to
displaced Afghans.
"(c) Availability of Funds. - Funds made available under the 2001
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery from and
Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States (Public Law
107-38) [115 Stat. 220], shall be available to carry out this Act."
HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE
Pub. L. 99-83, title IX, Sec. 904, Aug. 8, 1985, 99 Stat. 268,
provided that:
"(a) Authorization. - The President may make available funds
authorized to be appropriated to carry out chapter 4 of part II of
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 [part IV of subchapter II of
this chapter] (relating to the economic support fund) for the
provision of food, medicine, or other humanitarian assistance to
the Afghan people, notwithstanding any other provision of law.
"(b) Earmarking of Funds. - Each fiscal year, not less than
$15,000,000 of the aggregate amount of funds available to carry out
chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 shall be
available only for humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people
pursuant to subsection (a) of this section.
"(c) Effective Dates. - This section shall take effect on the
date of enactment of this Act [Aug. 8, 1985], except that
subsection (b) shall not apply to fiscal year 1985."

ASSISTANCE TO AND TRADE WITH AFGHANISTAN
Determination of President of the United States, No. 93-3, Oct.
7, 1992, 57 F.R. 47557, provided:
Memorandum for the Secretary of State
By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 620D(b) of the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (22 U.S.C. 2374(b)), I
hereby determine that furnishing assistance to Afghanistan with
funds authorized to be appropriated under that Act is in the
national interest of the United States because of substantially
changed circumstances in Afghanistan.
By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 2(b)(2)(C) of
the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 U.S.C.
635(b)(2)(C)), I hereby determine that Afghanistan has ceased to be
a Marxist-Leninist country within the definition of such term in
subparagraph (B)(i) of section 2(b)(2) of that Act (12 U.S.C.
635(b)(2)(B)(i)).
In accordance with section 118(c)(1) of Public Law 99-190 (99
Stat. 1319), I hereby provide notice of my intention to restore
nondiscriminatory trade treatment to the products of Afghanistan no
sooner than 30 days following receipt by the Congress of this
memorandum.
Attached to this determination is a Statement of Justification
for these actions, setting forth, among other things, a description
of U.S. national interests in resuming assistance and normal trade
ties with Afghanistan. [Text of Statement of Justification appears
at 57 F.R. 47557.]
You are authorized and directed to report these actions to the
Congress and to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

Sec. 2375. Assistance to Pakistan
-STATUTE-
(a) Congressional policy, findings, and goals
The Congress recognizes that Soviet forces occupying Afghanistan
pose a security threat to Pakistan. The Congress also recognizes
that an independent and democratic Pakistan with continued friendly
ties with the United States is in the interest of both nations. The
Congress finds that United States assistance will help Pakistan
maintain its independence. Assistance to Pakistan is intended to
benefit the people of Pakistan by helping them meet the burdens
imposed by the presence of Soviet forces in Afghanistan and by
promoting economic development. In authorizing assistance to
Pakistan, it is the intent of Congress to promote the expeditious
restoration of full civil liberties and representative government
in Pakistan. The Congress further recognizes that it is in the
mutual interest of Pakistan and the United States to avoid the
profoundly destabilizing effects of the proliferation of nuclear
explosive devices or the capacity to manufacture or otherwise
acquire nuclear devices.
(b) Reaffirmation of 1959 bilateral agreement
The United States reaffirms the commitment made in its 1959
bilateral agreement with Pakistan relating to aggression from a
Communist or Communist-dominated state.
(c) Availability; defensive aspects of assistance
Security assistance for Pakistan shall be made available in order
to assist Pakistan in dealing with the threat to its security posed
by the Soviet presence in Afghanistan. The United States will take
appropriate steps to ensure that defense articles provided by the
United States to Pakistan are used for defensive purposes.
(d) Waiver of limitations respecting nuclear transfers
The President may waive the prohibitions of section 2799aa of
this title with respect to any grounds for the prohibition of
assistance under that section arising before the effective date of
part B of the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 1994 to
provide assistance to Pakistan if he determines that to do so is in
the national interest of the United States.
(e) Nuclear non-proliferation conditions on military assistance;
exception
(1) No military assistance shall be furnished to Pakistan and no
military equipment or technology shall be sold or transferred to
Pakistan, pursuant to the authorities contained in this chapter or
any other Act, unless the President shall have certified in writing
to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the chairman of
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, during the fiscal
year in which military assistance is to be furnished or military
equipment or technology is to be sold or transferred, that Pakistan
does not possess a nuclear explosive device and that the proposed
United States military assistance program will reduce significantly
the risk that Pakistan will possess a nuclear explosive device.
(2) The prohibitions in this section do not apply to any
assistance or transfer provided for the purposes of:
(A) International narcotics control (including part VIII of
subchapter I of this chapter) or any provision of law available
for providing assistance for counternarcotics purposes.
(B) Facilitating military-to-military contact, training
(including part V of subchapter II of this chapter) and
humanitarian and civic assistance projects.
(C) Peacekeeping and other multilateral operations (including
part VI of subchapter II of this chapter relating to
peacekeeping) or any provision of law available for providing
assistance for peacekeeping purposes, except that lethal military
equipment provided under this subparagraph shall be provided on a
lease or loan basis only and shall be returned upon completion of
the operation for which it was provided.
(D) Antiterrorism assistance (including part VIII of subchapter
II of this chapter relating to antiterrorism assistance) or any
provision of law available for antiterrorism assistance purposes.
(3) The restrictions of this subsection shall continue to apply
to contracts for the delivery of F-16 aircraft to Pakistan.
(4) Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this
subsection, military equipment, technology, or defense services,
other than F-16 aircraft, may be transferred to Pakistan pursuant
to contracts or cases entered into before October 1, 1990.
(f) Storage costs
The President may release the Government of Pakistan of its
contractual obligation to pay the United States Government for the
storage costs of items purchased prior to October 1, 1990, but not
delivered by the United States Government pursuant to subsection
(e) of this section and may reimburse the Government of Pakistan
for any such amount paid, on such terms and conditions as the
President may prescribe: Provided, That such payments have no
budgetary impact.
(g) Inapplicability of restrictions to previously owned items
Subsection (e) of this section does not apply to broken, worn or
unupgraded items or their equivalent which Pakistan paid for and
took possession of prior to October 1, 1990 and which the
Government of Pakistan sent to the United States for repair or
upgrade. Such equipment or its equivalent may be returned to the
Government of Pakistan: Provided, That the President determines and
so certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that such
equipment or equivalent neither constitutes nor has received any
significant qualitative upgrade since being transferred to the
United States and that its total value does not exceed $25,000,000.
(h) Ballistic missile sanctions not affected
Nothing contained herein shall affect sanctions for transfers of
missile equipment or technology required under section 2410b of
title 50, Appendix, or section 2797b of this title.

Sec. 2376. Nuclear non-proliferation policy in South Asia
-STATUTE-
(a) Findings
The Congress finds that -
(1) the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction remains
one of the most serious threats to international peace and
stability;
(2) South Asia, in particular, is an area where the threat of a
regional nuclear exchange remains high due to continued
Indo-Pakistani tensions over issues such as Kashmir;
(3) to date, United States efforts to halt proliferation in
South Asia have failed;
(4) although global disarmament is a desirable goal which
should be vigorously pursued, both regional and sub-regional
security arrangements can serve to decrease tensions and promote
non-proliferation in certain areas;
(5) thus far, there has been some success on a regional basis,
such as the South Pacific Nuclear Weapons Free Zone and the
Treaty of Tlatelolco in Latin America;
(6) in particular, in Latin America, the Treaty of Tlatelolco
has been signed by all the nuclear powers;
(7) a critical part of this treaty is Protocol II which
prohibits nuclear attacks by nuclear weapons states on
signatories to the treaty;
(8) in 1991, a proposal was made for a regional conference on
non-proliferation in South Asia which would include Pakistan,
India, the People's Republic of China, the Soviet Union, and the
United States; and
(9) thus far, Pakistan, China, Russia, and the United States
have expressed interest in attending such a conference, whereas
India has refused to attend.
(b) Policy
It is the sense of the Congress that the President should pursue
a policy which seeks a regional negotiated solution to the issue of
nuclear non-proliferation in South Asia at the earliest possible
time, including a protocol to be signed by all nuclear weapons
states, prohibiting nuclear attacks by nuclear weapons states on
countries in the region. Such a policy should have as its ultimate
goal concurrent accession by Pakistan and India to the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty, and should also include as needed a
phased approach to that goal through a series of agreements among
the parties on nuclear issues, such as the agreement reached by
Pakistan and India not to attack one another's nuclear facilities.
(c) Report on progress toward regional non-proliferation
Not later than April 1 of each year, the President shall submit a
report to the Committees on Appropriations, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and the chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the Senate, on nuclear proliferation in South
Asia, including efforts taken by the United States to achieve a
regional agreement on nuclear non-proliferation, and including a
comprehensive list of the obstacles to concluding such a regional
agreement.

CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS
Section 324 of Pub. L. 104-132 provided that: "The Congress finds
that -
"(1) international terrorism is among the most serious
transnational threats faced by the United States and its allies,
far eclipsing the dangers posed by population growth or
pollution;
"(2) the President should continue to make efforts to counter
international terrorism a national security priority;
"(3) because the United Nations has been an inadequate forum
for the discussion of cooperative, multilateral responses to the
threat of international terrorism, the President should undertake
immediate efforts to develop effective multilateral responses to
international terrorism as a complement to national counter
terrorist efforts;
"(4) the President should use all necessary means, including
covert action and military force, to disrupt, dismantle, and
destroy international infrastructure used by international
terrorists, including overseas terrorist training facilities and
safe havens;
"(5) the Congress deplores decisions to ease, evade, or end
international sanctions on state sponsors of terrorism, including
the recent decision by the United Nations Sanctions Committee to
allow airline flights to and from Libya despite Libya's
noncompliance with United Nations resolutions; and
"(6) the President should continue to undertake efforts to
increase the international isolation of state sponsors of
international terrorism, including efforts to strengthen
international sanctions, and should oppose any future initiatives
to ease sanctions on Libya or other state sponsors of terrorism."

-STATUTE-
(a) Delegation by President; rules and regulations; utilization of
goods and services from private enterprise, and facilities and
resources of Federal agencies when not competitive with private
enterprise
The President may exercise any functions conferred upon him by
this chapter through such agency or officer of the United States
Government as he shall direct. The head of any such agency or such
officer may from time to time promulgate such rules and regulations
as may be necessary to carry out such functions, and may delegate
authority to perform any such functions, including, if he shall so
specify, the authority successively to redelegate any of such
functions to any of his subordinates. In providing technical
assistance under this chapter, the head of any such agency or such
officer shall utilize, to the fullest extent practicable, goods and
professional and other services from private enterprise on a
contract basis. In such fields as education, health, housing, or
agriculture, the facilities and resources of other Federal agencies
shall be utilized when such facilities are particularly or uniquely
suitable for technical assistance, are not competitive with private
enterprise, and can be made available without interfering unduly
with domestic programs.
(b) Eligibility of suppliers; debarment period; causes for
debarment; conditions for reinstatement; periodic review
The President shall issue and enforce regulations determining the
eligibility of any person to receive funds made available under
this chapter. A person may be suspended under such regulations for
a temporary period pending the completion of an investigation and
any resulting judicial or debarment proceedings, upon cause for

(a) Allocation and transfer of funds
The President may allocate or transfer to any agency of the
United States Government any part of any funds available for
carrying out the purposes of this chapter, including any advance to
the United States Government by any country or international

with authority granted in this chapter or under authority governing
the activities of the agencies of the United States Government to
which such funds are allocated or transferred.
(b) Utilization of services and facilities of other agencies
Any officer of the United States Government carrying out

Treasury.
(c) Reimbursement for commodities, services, and facilities
In the case of any commodity, service, or facility procured from
any agency of the United States Government to carry out subchapter
I of this chapter, reimbursement or payment shall be made to such
agency from funds available to carry out such subchapter. Such
reimbursement or payment shall be at replacement cost, or, if
required by law, at actual cost, or, in the case of services
procured from the Department of Defense to carry out part VIII of
subchapter I of this chapter, the amount of the additional costs
incurred by the Department of Defense in providing such services,
or at any other price authorized by law and agreed to by the owning
or disposing agency. The amount of any such reimbursement or
payment shall be credited to current applicable appropriations,
funds, or accounts, from which there may be procured replacements
of similar commodities, services, or facilities, except that where
such appropriations, funds, or accounts are not reimbursable except
by reason of this subsection, and when the owning or disposing
agency determines that such replacement is not necessary, any funds
received in payment therefor shall be deposited into the Treasury
as miscellaneous receipts.
(d) Reimbursement for military assistance
Except as otherwise provided in section 2318 of this title,
reimbursement shall be made to any United States Government agency,
from funds available for use under subchapter II of this chapter,
for any assistance furnished under subchapter II of this chapter,

or other assistance furnished, plus expenses arising from or
incident to operations under subchapter II of this chapter (other
than salaries of the Armed Forces of the United States and unfunded
estimated costs of civilian retirement and other benefits). The
amount of such reimbursement shall be credited to the current
applicable appropriations, funds, or accounts of such agency.
(e) Establishment of accounts
In furnishing assistance under this chapter, accounts may be
established on the books of any agency of the United States
Government or, on terms and conditions approved by the Secretary of
the Treasury, in banking institutions in the United States, (1)
against which letters of commitment may be issued which shall
constitute recordable obligations of the United States Government,
and moneys due or to become due under such letters of commitment
shall be assignable under the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as
amended (second and third paragraphs of 31 U.S.C. 203 (!1) and 41
U.S.C. 15), and (2) from which disbursements may be made to, or
withdrawals may be made by, recipient countries or agencies,
organizations, or persons upon presentation of contracts, invoices,
or other appropriate documentation. Expenditure of funds which have
been made available through accounts so established shall be
accounted for on standard documentation required for expenditure of
funds of the United States Government: Provided, That such
expenditures for commodities, defense articles, military education
and training, services (including defense services), or facilities
procured outside the United States may be accounted for exclusively
on such certification as may be prescribed in regulations approved
by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Credits made by the Export-Import Bank of the United States with
funds allocated thereto under subsection (a) of this section or
under section 1782(a) (!1) of this title, shall not be considered
in determining whether the Bank has outstanding at any one time
loans and guaranties to the extent of the limitation imposed by
section 635e of title 12.

Any appropriation or account available to carry out provisions of
subchapter I of this chapter may initially be charged in any fiscal
year, within the limit of available funds, to finance expenses for
which funds are available in other appropriations or accounts under
subchapter I of this chapter: Provided, That as of the end of such
fiscal year such expenses shall be finally charged to applicable
appropriations or accounts with proper credit to the appropriations
or accounts initially utilized for financing purposes: Provided
further, That such final charge to applicable appropriations or
accounts shall not be required in the case of expenses (other than
those provided for under section 2397(a) of this title) incurred in
furnishing assistance by the agency primarily responsible for
administering subchapter I of this chapter where it is determined
that the accounting costs of identifying the applicable
appropriation or account to which such expenses should be charged
would be disproportionate to the advantage to be gained.

fiscal revenues of the country, and has minimum ratios of exports
to Gross Domestic Product of 30 percent, and of fiscal revenues

institutional reforms are designed and adopted through
transparent and participatory processes;

Government a claim for payment from funds made available under this
chapter for the purposes of furnishing assistance and who knows the

chapter, or who uses to support his claim any certification,
statement, or entry on any contract, abstract, bill of lading,
Government or commercial invoice, or Government form, which he
knows, or in the exercise of prudent business management should
know, to contain false, fraudulent, or fictitious information, or
who uses or engages in any other fraudulent trick, scheme, or
device for the purpose of securing or obtaining, or aiding to
secure or obtain, for any person any benefit or payment from funds
so made available under this chapter in connection with the
negotiation, procurement, award, or performance of a contract
financed with funds so made available under this chapter, and any
person who enters into an agreement, combination, or conspiracy so
to do, (1) shall pay to the United States an amount equal to 25 per
centum of any amount thereby sought to be wrongfully secured or
obtained but not actually received, and (2) shall forfeit and
refund any payment, compensation, loan, commission, or advance
received as a result thereof, and (3) shall, in addition, pay to
the United States for each such act (A) the sum of $2,000 and

-STATUTE-
It is of paramount importance that long-range economic plans take
cognizance of the need for a dependable supply of fuels, which is
necessary to orderly and stable development and growth, and that
dependence not be placed upon sources which are inherently hostile
to free countries and the ultimate well-being of economically
underdeveloped countries and which might exploit such dependence
for ultimate political domination. The agencies of government in
the United States are directed to work with other countries in
developing plans for basing development programs on the use of the
large and stable supply of relatively low cost fuels available in
the free world.

Sec. 2428b. Special security assistance for modernization of Armed
Forces of Korea
-STATUTE-
(a) Transfer authority of President of defense articles and
services located in Korea; applicable terms and conditions;
reimbursement
(1) The President is authorized until December 31, 1982 -
(A) to transfer, without reimbursement, to the Republic of
Korea, only in conjunction with the withdrawal of the 2d Infantry
Division and support forces from Korea, such United States
Government-owned defense articles as he may determine which are
located in Korea in the custody of units of the United States
Army scheduled to depart from Korea; and
(B) to furnish to the Republic of Korea, without reimbursement,
defense services (including technical and operational training)
in Korea directly related to the United States Government-owned
defense articles transferred to the Republic of Korea under this
subsection.
(2) Any transfer under the authority of this section shall be
made in accordance with all the terms and conditions of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 [22 U.S.C. 2151 et seq.] applicable to the
furnishing of defense articles and defense services under chapter 2
of part II of that Act [22 U.S.C. 2311 et seq.], except that no
funds heretofore or hereafter appropriated under that Act shall be
available to reimburse any agency of the United States Government
for any such transfer or related services.
(b) Additional transfer authority of President of defense articles
located outside of Korea; prerequisites for determinations
respecting transfers; report by President to Congress of
determinations
In order that transfers of defense articles under subsection (a)
of this section will not cause significant adverse impact on the
readiness of the Armed Forces of the United States, the President
is authorized, in lieu of such transfers, to transfer additional
defense articles from the stocks of the Department of Defense,
wherever located, to the Republic of Korea to compensate for the
military capability of defense articles withdrawn from Korea in any
case where he determines that -
(1) the transfer of specific defense articles located in Korea
would have a significant adverse impact on the readiness of the
United States Armed Forces;
(2) the defense capability provided by those defense articles
is needed by the Armed Forces of the Republic of Korea in order
to maintain the military balance on the Korean peninsula; and
(3) a comparable defense capability could be provided by less
advanced defense articles in the stocks of the Department of
Defense which could be transferred without significant adverse
impact on the readiness of the United States Armed Forces.
The President shall report to the Congress each determination made
under this subsection prior to the transfer of the defense articles
described in such determination.
(c) Report by President to Congress of types, etc., of transferred
defense articles
The President shall transmit to the Congress, together with the

Sec. 2431. Findings and purposes
-STATUTE-
(a) Findings
The Congress finds the following:
(1) It is the established policy of the United States to
support and seek protection of tropical forests around the world.
(2) Tropical forests provide a wide range of benefits to
humankind by -
(A) harboring a major share of the Earth's biological and
terrestrial resources, which are the basis for developing
pharmaceutical products and revitalizing agricultural crops;
(B) playing a critical role as carbon sinks in reducing
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, thus moderating potential
global climate change; and
(C) regulating hydrological cycles on which far-flung
agricultural and coastal resources depend.
(3) International negotiations and assistance programs to
conserve forest resources have proliferated over the past decade,
but the rapid rate of tropical deforestation continues unabated.
(4) Developing countries with urgent needs for investment and
capital for development have allocated a significant amount of
their forests to logging concessions.
(5) Poverty and economic pressures on the populations of
developing countries have, over time, resulted in clearing of
vast areas of forest for conversion to agriculture, which is
often unsustainable in the poor soils underlying tropical
forests.
(6) Debt reduction can reduce economic pressures on developing
countries and result in increased protection for tropical
forests.
(7) Finding economic benefits to local communities from
sustainable uses of tropical forests is critical to the
protection of tropical forests.
(b) Purposes
The purposes of this subchapter are -
(1) to recognize the values received by United States citizens
from protection of tropical forests;
(2) to facilitate greater protection of tropical forests (and
to give priority to protecting tropical forests with the highest
levels of biodiversity and under the most severe threat) by
providing for the alleviation of debt in countries where tropical
forests are located, thus allowing the use of additional
resources to protect these critical resources and reduce economic
pressures that have led to deforestation;
(3) to ensure that resources freed from debt in such countries
are targeted to protection of tropical forests and their
associated values; and
(4) to rechannel existing resources to facilitate the
protection of tropical forests.
