        Enhanced HIPC Initiative;
            (2) options for burden-sharing among donor countries and
        multilateral institutions of costs associated with the
        expansion of debt relief; and
            (3) options, in addition to debt relief, to ensure debt
        sustainability in poor countries, particularly in cases when
        the poor country has suffered an external economic shock or a
        natural disaster.
    (b) Specific Options To Be Considered.--Among the options for the
expansion of debt relief provided by the Enhanced HIPC Initiative,
consideration should be given to making eligible for that relief poor
countries for which outstanding public and publicly guaranteed debt
requires annual payments in excess of 10 percent or, in the case of a
country suffering a public health crisis (as defined in section 1625(e)
of the Financial Institutions Act, as added by section 2 of this Act),
not more than 5 percent, of the amount of the annual current revenues
received by the country from internal resources.
    (c) Enhanced HIPC Initiative Defined.--In this section, the term
``Enhanced HIPC Initiative'' means the multilateral debt initiative for
heavily indebted poor countries presented in the Report of G-7 Finance
Ministers on the Cologne Debt Initiative to the Cologne Economic
Summit, Cologne, June 18-20, 1999.''.

SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

    (a) In General.--There are authorized to be appropriated to the
President such sums as may be necessary for the fiscal year 2003 and
each fiscal year thereafter to carry out section 1625 of the
International Financial Institutions Act, as added by section 2 of this
Act.
    (b) Availability of Funds.--Amounts appropriated pursuant to
subsection (a) are authorized to remain available until expended.

Output: Debt Relief Enhancement Act of 2002 - Amends the International Financial Institutions Act to direct the Secretary of the Treasury to commence efforts immediately within the Paris Club of Official Creditors, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and other appropriate multilateral development institutions to modify the Enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative so that the amount of debt stock reduction approved for a country eligible for debt relief shall be sufficient to reduce, by a specified deadline, the net present value of the outstanding public and publicly guaranteed debt of the country, and the annual payments due, to levels determined according to certain formulae.Prohibits conditioning any such debt cancellation on an agreement by an impoverished country to implement or comply with policies that deepen poverty or degrade the environment.Prescribes other specified conditions and prohibitions with respect to country eligibility.Requires any country otherwise eligible to receive debt cancellation under the modifications to the Initiative made by this Act to agree to: (1) ensure that the financial benefits of debt cancellation are applied to programs to combat HIV/AIDS and poverty; and (2) implement transparent and participatory policymaking and budget procedures, good governance, and effective anticorruption measures.Requires the Secretary to report to Congress on the options and costs associated with expanding debt relief under the Initiative to poor countries not eligible for inclusion in it.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Long-range strike is a critical mission in which the
        United States needs to retain a credible and dominant
        capability.
            (2) Long range, penetrating strike systems provide--
                    (A) a hedge against being unable to obtain access
                to forward bases for political reasons;
                    (B) a capacity to respond quickly to contingencies
                such as the failure of a nuclear-armed state;
                    (C) the ability to base outside the reach of
                emerging adversary anti-access and area-denial
                capabilities; and
                    (D) the ability to impose disproportionate
                defensive costs on prospective adversaries of the
                United States.
            (3) The 2006 Quadrennial Review directed the United States
        Air Force to ``develop a new land-based, penetrating long range
        strike capability to be fielded by 2018''.
            (4) Secretary of Defense Robert P. Gates has publicly
        acknowledged the need for a next generation bomber on at least
        three separate occasions:
                    (A) In a September 29, 2008, speech at National
                Defense University, where Secretary Gates said, ``In
                the case of China, investments in cyber-and anti-
                satellite warfare, anti-air and anti-ship weaponry,
                submarines, and ballistic missiles could threaten
                America's primary means to project power and help
                allies in the Pacific: our bases, air and sea assets,
                and the networks that support them. This will put a
                premium on America's ability to strike from over the
                horizon, employ missile defenses, and will require
                shifts from short-range to longer-range systems such as
                the next generation bomber.''
                    (B) In the January/February 2009 edition of Foreign
                Affairs, in an article entitled, ``A Balanced Strategy;
                Reprogramming the Pentagon for a New Age,'' where
                Secretary Gates wrote, ``In the case of China,
                Beijing's investments in cyberwarfare, antisatellite
                warfare, antiaircraft and antiship weaponry,
                submarines, and ballistic missiles could threaten the
                United States' primary means to project its power and
                help its allies in the Pacific: bases, air and sea
                assets, and the networks that support them. This will
                put a premium on the United States' ability to strike
                from over the horizon and employ missile defenses and
                will require shifts from short-range to longer-range
                systems, such as the next generation bomber.''
                    (C) In the First Quarter 2009 edition of Joint
                Force Quarterly, in an article entitled, ``The National
                Defense Strategy; Striking the Right Balance,'' where
                Secretary Gates wrote, ``In the case of China,
                investments in cyber and antisatellite warfare, anti-
                air and anti-ship weaponry, submarines, and ballistic
                missiles could threaten America's primary means to
                project power and help allies in the Pacific: our
                bases, air and sea assets, and the networks that
                support them. This will put a premium on America's
                ability to strike from over the horizon and employ
                missile defenses; and it will require shifts from
                short-range to longer range systems such as the next
                generation bomber.''
            (5) On April 6, 2009, Secretary Gates announced that the
        United States ``will not pursue a development program for a
        follow-on Air Force bomber until we have a better understanding
        of the need, the requirement and the technology''.
            (6) On May 7, 2009, President Barack Obama announced the
        termination of the next generation bomber program in the Office
        of Management and Budget's ``Terminations, Reductions, and
        Savings'' document, stating that ``there is no urgent need to
        begin an expensive development program for a new bomber'' and
        that ``the future bomber fleet may not be affordable over the
        next six years.''
            (7) The need, requirement, and the technology for the next
        generation bomber are well understood, as set out by the 2006
        Quadrennial Defense Review.
            (8) The need for a new long-range strike capability is
        urgent because the conflicts of the future will likely feature
        heavily defended airspace, due in large part to the
        proliferation of relatively inexpensive, but extremely
        sophisticated and deadly, air defense systems.
            (9) General Michael Maples, Director of the Defense
        Intelligence Agency, noted during a March 10, 2009, Committee
        on Armed Services of the Senate hearing on worldwide threats
        that ``Russia, quite frankly, is the developer of most of those
        [advanced air defense] systems and is exporting those systems
        both to China and to other countries in the world''.
            (10) The commanders of Pacific Command, Strategic Command,
        and Joint Forces Command have each testified in support of the
        capability that the next generation bomber will provide before
        the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate.
            (11) Nearly half of the United States bomber inventory (47
        percent) pre-dates the Cuban Missile Crisis.
            (12) The only air-breathing strike platforms the United
        States possesses today with reach and survivability to have a
        chance of successfully executing missions more than 1,000
        nautical miles into enemy territory from the last air-to-air
        refueling are 16 combat ready B-2 bombers.
            (13) The B-2 was designed in the 1980s and achieved initial
        operational capability over a decade ago.
            (14) The crash of an operational B-2 during takeoff at Guam
        in early 2008 indicates that attrition can and does occur even
        in peacetime.
            (15) The primary mission requirement of the next generation
        bomber is the ability to strike targets anywhere on the globe
        with whatever weapons the contingency requires.
            (16) The requisite aerodynamic, structural, and low-
        observable technologies to develop the next generation bomber
        already exist in fifth-generation fighters.
            (17) A decision to terminate or delay the next generation
        bomber would severely diminish the ability of the United States
        to project power on a global scale in the future.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Kennedy-King Establishment Act of
2018''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) on April 4, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was scheduled to
        give a speech in Indianapolis, Indiana, during the campaign of
        Mr. Kennedy for the Presidency of the United States;
            (2) just before giving the prepared remarks, Mr. Kennedy
        was informed of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King,
        Jr., before the news became widely known publicly;
            (3) Mr. Kennedy changed the prepared remarks to inform the
        large gathering of the death of Dr. King in a manner that
        called for a nonviolent reaction to the violent death;
            (4) the call of Mr. Kennedy for nonviolence in a moment of
        unbearable pain helped temper the reaction of people in
        Indianapolis to the assassination of Dr. King, such that, while
        many other cities erupted in violence and rioting, Indianapolis
        did not suffer riots or bloodshed in the days after the
        assassination of Dr. King;
            (5) the speech of Mr. Kennedy on the volatile occasion has
        been described as one of the great addresses of the 20th
        century, calling for unity in a time of great unrest;
            (6) the heartfelt leadership of Mr. Kennedy and call for
        nonviolence in the face of violence, prior to the assassination
        of Mr. Kennedy, continues to be a model for people of the
        United States;
            (7) the park site at which the speech was held was
        established in 1961 and has served the community as a gathering
        place for social movements and engagement, which is the reason
        why the site was selected as the location for the speech of Mr.
        Kennedy;
            (8) a memorial sculpture, known as ``Landmark for Peace'',
        honoring Mr. Kennedy and Dr. King was erected on the site in
        1994 to commemorate the events of April 4, 1968, and the
        message of nonviolence taught by Mr. Kennedy and Dr. King;
            (9) the improvised remarks of Mr. Kennedy to a stricken
        community continue to resonate today and the site continues to
        inspire social engagement with the words of Mr. Kennedy, ``Why
        don't we make a monument to peace where all of us can live
        together, not with walls coming up but with walls tearing down,
        so we can go forward together?''; and
            (10) the site of the speech given by Mr. Kennedy on April
        4, 1968, should be preserved as a national treasure, and the
        preservation of the site is most fitting on the 50th
        anniversary of the speech.
