SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``International Food Assistance
Improvement Act of 2012''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) For more than 55 years the United States, backed by the
        support of the American people, has been committed to providing
        life-saving food assistance to developing countries and
        vulnerable populations around the world.
            (2) As the largest donor of international food assistance,
        an essential tool in tackling malnutrition, the United States
        can lead the way in improving food aid quality to better target
        undernourished women and children.
            (3) The United States contributes over one-half of all food
        aid supplies to alleviate hunger and support development and
        plays an important role in responding to emergency food aid
        needs and ensuring global food security.
            (4) Over the past decade, increasing food prices and
        protracted humanitarian crises around the world have made
        United States food assistance even more critical and relevant.
        At the same time, these factors, combined with advancements in
        nutrition science, as well as severe and ongoing fiscal
        constraints, have led to an increased demand by policymakers
        and program implementers for new specially formulated and cost-
        effective products to meet the nutritional needs of the world's
        most vulnerable populations.
            (5) While United States food assistance is effective in
        providing critical calories and nutrients to millions of people
        during short-term emergencies, the long-term impacts of these
        programs have also been increasingly called into question for
        not meeting the nutritional needs of recipient populations.
            (6) Reducing maternal and child malnutrition, especially in
        the critical 1,000 days between pregnancy and age 2, is a key
        priority of United States global food security and health
        initiatives, including food aid.
            (7) Recent reports by the Government Accountability Office
        and the United States Agency for International Development
        recommended over 35 changes to United States food aid products
        and programs to improve the nutritional quality, quality
        control, and cost effectiveness of United States food
        assistance.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) even in this time of fiscal austerity, the American
        people support the United States Government's historic
        commitment to providing life-saving food assistance to the
        world's most vulnerable populations;
            (2) high food prices, coupled with growing constraints on
        available resources for foreign assistance require the United
        States Government to focus on creating efficiencies, improving
        quality controls, and maximizing cost-effectiveness and
        nutritional impact of United States food assistance programs;
            (3) improving maternal and child health with supplemental
        nutrition products is a central objective of international food
        assistance programs; and
            (4) the United States has shown considerable leadership in
        meeting the nutrition needs of pregnant women and small
        children through the 1,000 Days Partnership to support the
        Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement.

SEC. 4. PROVISION OF AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES.

                extend beyond one year;
                    ``(H) considering options for using United States-
                produced food fortification packages, including vitamin
                and mineral mixes, to fortify local foods in recipient

                    ``(I) evaluating, in appropriate program settings

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Unrecognized Southeast Alaska Native
Communities Recognition and Compensation Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) in 1971, Congress enacted the Alaska Native Claims
        Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) to recognize and settle
        the aboriginal claims of Alaska Natives to the land Alaska
        Natives had used for traditional purposes;
            (2) that Act awarded approximately $1,000,000,000 and
        44,000,000 acres of land to Alaska Natives and provided for the
        establishment of Native Corporations to receive and manage the
        funds and land;
            (3) pursuant to that Act, Alaska Natives have been enrolled
        in 1 of 13 Regional Corporations;
            (4) most Alaska Natives reside in communities that are
        eligible under that Act to form a Village or Urban Corporation
        within the geographical area of a Regional Corporation;
            (5) Village or Urban Corporations established under that
        Act received cash and surface rights to the settlement land
        described in paragraph (2) and the corresponding Regional
        Corporation received cash and land that includes the subsurface
        rights to the land of the Village or Urban Corporation;
            (6) the southeastern Alaska communities of Haines,
        Ketchikan, Petersburg, Tenakee, and Wrangell are not listed
        under that Act as communities eligible to form Village or Urban
        Corporations, even though the population of those villages
        comprises greater than 20 percent of the shareholders of the
        Regional Corporation for Southeast Alaska and display historic,
        cultural, and traditional qualities of Alaska Natives;
            (7) the communities described in paragraph (6) have sought
        full eligibility for land and benefits under that Act for more
        than 3 decades;
            (8) in 1993, Congress directed the Secretary of the
        Interior to prepare a report examining the reasons why the
        communities listed in paragraph (6) had been denied eligibility
        to form Village or Urban Corporations and receive land and
        benefits pursuant to that Act;
            (9) the report described in paragraph (8), published in
        February, 1994, indicates that--
                    (A) the communities listed in paragraph (6) do not
                differ significantly from the Southeast Alaska
                communities that were permitted to form Village or
                Urban Corporations under that Act;
                    (B) the communities are similar to other
                communities that are eligible to form Village or Urban
                Corporations under that Act and receive land and
                benefits under that Act--
                            (i) in actual number and percentage of
                        Native Alaskan population; and
                            (ii) with respect to the historic use and
                        occupation of land;
                    (C) each such community was involved in advocating
                the settlement of the aboriginal claims of the
                community; and
                    (D) some of the communities appeared on early
                versions of lists of Native Villages prepared before
                the date of the enactment of that Act, but were not
                included as Native Villages under that Act;
            (10) the omissions described in paragraph (9) are not
        clearly explained in any provision of that Act or the
        legislative history of that Act; and
            (11) on the basis of the findings described in paragraphs
        (1) through (10), Alaska Natives who were enrolled in the 5
        unlisted communities and the heirs of the Alaska Natives have
        been inadvertently and wrongly denied the cultural and
        financial benefits of enrollment in Village or Urban
        Corporations established pursuant to that Act.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to redress the omission of
the communities described in subsection (a)(6) from eligibility by
authorizing the Native people enrolled in the communities--
            (1) to form Urban Corporations for the communities of
        Haines, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Tenakee, and Wrangell under the
        Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.);
        and
            (2) to receive certain settlement land and other
        compensation pursuant to that Act.

Output:
Authorizes the President to reinstate any or all of specified restrictions on commerce with North Korea any time a proliferation report indicates credible information that North Korea transferred nuclear goods, services, or technology to an outside destination. Requires a detailed justification to Congress in any such instance where the President decides not to reinstate restrictions.
Requires a minimum two-year reinstatement (unless waived for national security reasons) of such restrictions if there is credible information that North Korea took an action inconsistent with: (1) compliance with the September 12, 1999, commitment to suspend launches of long-range missiles, or with any international agreement limiting testing, deployment, or transfer to other countries of missiles or missile technology; or (2) transferred any of specified nuclear goods, services, or technology to any country whose government has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism, or has tested any long-range missile incorporating goods or technology knowingly transferred to such government by North Korea.
Declares that reinstatement requirements shall not apply if the President reports to the relevant congressional committees that there is substantial doubt that North Korea knowingly took such an action.
Encourages the President to seek to negotiate a binding international agreement with North Korea that satisfies U.S. concerns regarding the transfer by North Korea to other countries of missiles and missile technology. Authorizes the President, if North Korea enters into such an agreement, to: (1) waive specified sanctions under the Arms Export Control Act and the Export Administration Act of 1979; and (2) use certain funds to support the commercial launch in the United States or other countries of satellites for North Korea (other than a launch by North Korea or by certain other entities).

SEC. ____03. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria disproportionately
        affect the world's poorest countries and together will cost the
        lives of 6,000,000 people this year alone.
            (2) According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/
        AIDS (UNAIDS), more than 58,000,000 people worldwide have
        already been infected with HIV/AIDS, a fatal disease that is
        devastating the health, economies, and social structures in
        dozens of countries in Africa, and increasingly in Asia, the
        Caribbean, and Eastern Europe.
            (3) AIDS has wiped out decades of progress in improving the
        lives of families in the developing world. As the leading cause
        of death in Africa, AIDS has killed 17,000,000 and will claim
        the lives of one quarter of the population, mostly productive
        adults, in the next decade. In addition, 13,000,000 children
        have been orphaned by AIDS--a number that will rise to
        40,000,000 by 2010.
            (4) The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that
        8,000,000 people each year become sick with tuberculosis, one
        of the most dangerous contagious diseases, easily transmitted
        through the air from those infected. Globally, tuberculosis
        kills at least 2,000,000 each year, is the leading killer of
        women between 15 and 44 years old, and is the most common cause
        of death in Africa in those with HIV/AIDS.
            (5) More than 40 percent of tuberculosis cases in the
        United States result from importation of tuberculosis from
        foreign-borne persons. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis spreads
        because of inadequate control programs and inappropriate use of
        anti-tuberculosis drugs--mostly in the developing world.
        Without a concerted international effort to increase the
        implementation of WHO-approved control strategies, the United
        States risks importation of this particularly dangerous form of
        tuberculosis.
            (6) Malaria is a third disease that saps the social and
        economic strength tropical developing countries. Malaria
        affects more than 500,000,000 people each year and undermines
        not only the health and productivity of the world's poorest
        countries; malaria kills at least 1,000,000 each year, about
        3,000 each day. In Africa, malaria kills a child every 40
        seconds.
            (7) Beyond the human toll, the economic impact of AIDS,
        malaria, and tuberculosis on regional economies is severe.
        According to UNAIDS, HIV/AIDS alone will reduce gross domestic
        product (GDP) of South Africa by 17 percent, or $22,000,000,000
        over the next 10 years, and WHO estimates that sub-Saharan
        Africa's GDP would be 32 percent, or $100,000,000,000 higher
        now if malaria had been conquered 35 years ago. The current
        short term economic loss and direct cost of malaria is
        estimated to be up to $12,000,000,000 each year.
            (8) The UNAIDS program estimates it will cost
        $3,000,000,000 for basic AIDS prevention and care services in
        sub-Saharan Africa alone, and at least $2,000,000,000 more if
        anti-retroviral drugs are provided widely. But in Africa, only
        $500,000,000 is currently available from all donors, lending
        agencies, and African governments themselves.
            (9) For tuberculosis control, WHO estimates that a total of
        $1,000,000,000 per year will be necessary to effectively fight
        the tuberculosis epidemic, which will be spent to identify at
        least 70 percent of the cases and curing 85 percent of them.
        WHO indicates that an increase of $400,000,000 per year could
        make this goal a reality.
            (10) The Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi
        Annan, has called for a global fund to halt and reverse the
        spread of HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. The Secretary
        General proposed a multibillion dollar ``war chest'' financed
        jointly by donor governments and private contributors and,
        equally important, called on leaders from developing nations to
give a much higher priority in their budgets to development of
comprehensive health systems.
            (11) The Secretary General has outlined the following five
        objectives for the fight against AIDS:
                    (A) To ensure that people everywhere know what to
                do to prevent infection.
                    (B) To prevent the transmission from mother to
                child.
                    (C) To provide care and treatment to those
                infected.
                    (D) To provide care to those affected by AIDS,
                especially orphans.
                    (E) To deliver scientific breakthroughs, especially
                vaccines.
            (12) Prevention of new infections is key, although
        treatment and care for those infected by HIV/AIDS is an
        increasingly critical component of the global response.
        Improving health systems, providing home-based care, treating
        AIDS-associated diseases like tuberculosis, providing for
        family support and orphan care, and making anti-retroviral
        drugs against HIV available will reduce social and economic
        damage to families and communities.
            (13) Responding to the call from the Secretary General, the
        African heads of state meeting at the African Summit on HIV/
        AIDS, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases in Abuja,
        Nigeria, April 25-27, committed to increasing to at least 15
        percent the proportion of their budgets allocated to the health
        sector.
            (14) Expanded United States financial support for new broad
        based international partnerships to control HIV/AIDS, malaria,
        and tuberculosis can help leverage substantial increases in
        global commitments to narrow the gap between need and currently
        available resources.
            (15) The World Bank and WHO have demonstrated that
        investment in global public health activities to reduce HIV/
        AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis not only is a humanitarian
        imperative, it also helps bolster the economic and social
        development necessary to build political and trade alliances.
        Further, containment of international disease threats has
        beneficial ramifications for Americans who are increasingly
        susceptible to global infectious disease threats.

SEC. 4. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this Act are to provide for United States
participation in a global effort to--
            (1) mitigate the effects, and control the spread, of HIV/
        AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis by supporting programs for the
        prevention of new infections and for the care and treatment of
        individuals infected with those diseases in countries seriously
        affected, especially programs that provide care for children
        orphaned by the HIV/AIDS epidemic; and
            (2) provide the resources and leadership to control AIDS,
        malaria, and tuberculosis through support of programs that
        emphasize--
                    (A) a science-based integrated approach that
                includes prevention of new infections and the treatment
                and care of infected individuals;
                    (B) public-private partnerships; and
                    (C) good governance.

        Secretary General and the heads of relevant Executive agencies,
        shall work with foreign governments, the United Nations and its
        relevant specialized agencies, the World Bank, and the private
        sector to reach an agreement for the establishment of a global
        fund to fight HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis, to carry out
        the purposes of section 4 (1) and (2).
            (2) Delegation of authority.--The President shall exercise
        the authority of this subsection through the Secretary of State
        and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, except that,
        with respect to the World Bank, the President shall exercise
        such authority through the Secretary of the Treasury.
    (b) Description of global fund.--The global fund should--
            (1) be a public-private partnership that includes
        participation of, and seeks contributions from, governments,
        foundations, the private sector, civil society, the United
        Nations system, nongovernmental organizations, and other
        parties;
            (2) pursue an integrated approach that includes the
        prevention of new infections and the treatment and care of
        infected individuals;
            (3) focus on promotion of ``best practices'' in the
        prevention of new infections by funding a core group of
        programs that have been proven effective and then funding
        additional programs;
            (4) promote scientific and medical accountability by
        requiring proposals to be reviewed and approved by medical and

        by a board of trustees, which should be composed of
        representatives of donors, recipients of funding, multilateral
        agencies, and such other parties as may be authorized by the
        agreement establishing the global fund.
            (2) Technical advisory group.--The board of trustees of the
        global fund should establish a technical advisory group,
        consisting of persons with demonstrated knowledge and
        experience in the fields of public health, epidemiology, health
        care delivery, health economics, and biomedical research, to
        advise the board of trustees with respect to funding proposals
        and other matters.
            (3) Secretariat and other bodies.--Other bodies, such as a

                its board of trustees with guidance from the technical
                advisory group, should provide only grants, including
                grants for technical assistance to support measures to
                build local capacity in national and local government,
                civil society, and the private sector, with respect to
                the prevention of new infections and the care and
                treatment of individuals infected with disease.
                    (B) Eligibility for grants.--Governments and
                nongovernmental organizations shall be eligible to
                receive grants from the global fund. Emphasis should be
                given to facilitating the funding of nongovernmental
                organizations, including both faith-based and secular
                groups working in communities, except that national
                authorities should set the overall plan and agenda for
                dealing with public health and infectious diseases in
                their countries.
            (2) Activities supported.--

                implement effective and affordable HIV/AIDS, malaria,
                and tuberculosis programs, including programs focused
                on prevention and health education and treatment and
                care services, including access to affordable drugs.
                    (B) Emphasis on strong political leadership.--
                Emphasis should be given to ensuring strong political
                leadership in recipient countries, through the
                development and implementation of effective strategies
                against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria;
                development of well managed, transparently administered
                health systems; and monitoring and evaluation of
                programs supported by the global fund.
                    (C) Initial priority on combating hiv/aids.--In
                view of the globalization of the AIDS epidemic, initial
                priority should be given to programs to combat HIV/
                AIDS. Such programs should include the promotion of
                ``best practices'' in the prevention of new infections,
                including education that emphasizes risk avoidance such
                as abstinence, measures to stop mother-to-child
                transmission, and efforts to provide for the support
                and education of AIDS orphans and the families,
                communities, and institutions most affected by HIV/
                AIDS.
