(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:

(1) Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, and Americans from
|
|
South Asia play a vital role in our Nation and are entitled to
|
|
nothing less than the full rights of every American.
|
|
(2) The acts of violence that have been taken against Arab
|
|
and Muslim Americans since the September 11, 2001, attacks
|
|
against the United States should be and are condemned by all
|
|
Americans who value freedom.
|
|
(3) The concept of individual responsibility for wrongdoing
|
|
is sacrosanct in American society, and applies equally to all
|
|
religious, racial, and ethnic groups.
|
|
(4) When American citizens commit acts of violence against
|
|
those who are, or are perceived to be, of Arab or Muslim
|
|
descent, they should be punished to the full extent of the law.
|
|
(5) Muslim Americans have become so fearful of harassment
|
|
that many Muslim women are changing the way they dress to avoid
|
|
becoming targets.
|
|
(6) Many Arab Americans and Muslim Americans have acted
|
|
heroically during the attacks on the United States, including
|
|
Mohammed Salman Hamdani, a 23-year-old New Yorker of Pakistani
|
|
descent, who is believed to have gone
|
|
|
|
[[Page 115 STAT. 277]]
|
|
|
|
to the World Trade Center to offer rescue assistance and is now
|
|
missing.
|

|
|
(1) the civil rights and civil liberties of all Americans,
|
|
including Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, and Americans from
|
|
South Asia, must be protected, and that every effort must be
|
|
taken to preserve their safety;
|
|
(2) any acts of violence or discrimination against any
|
|
Americans be condemned; and
|
|
(3) the Nation is called upon to recognize the patriotism of
|
|
fellow citizens from all ethnic, racial, and religious
|
|
backgrounds.

Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001.>> III--INTERNATIONAL MONEY LAUNDERING
|
|
ABATEMENT AND ANTI-TERRORIST FINANCING ACT OF 2001

SEC. 301. <<NOTE: 31 USC 5301 note.>> SHORT TITLE.
|

|
This title may be cited as the ``International Money Laundering
|
|
Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001''.
|
|
|
|
SEC. 302. <<NOTE: 31 USC 5311 note.>> FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
|
|
|
|
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
|
|
(1) money laundering, estimated by the International
|
|
Monetary Fund to amount to between 2 and 5 percent of global
|
|
gross domestic product, which is at least $600,000,000,000
|
|
annually, provides the financial fuel that permits transnational
|
|
criminal enterprises to conduct and expand their operations to
|
|
the detriment of the safety and security of American citizens;
|
|
(2) money laundering, and the defects in financial
|
|
transparency on which money launderers rely, are critical to the
|
|
financing of global terrorism and the provision of funds for
|
|
terrorist attacks;
|
|
(3) money launderers subvert legitimate financial mechanisms
|
|
and banking relationships by using them as protective covering
|
|
for the movement of criminal proceeds and the financing of crime
|
|
and terrorism, and, by so doing, can threaten the safety of
|
|
United States citizens and undermine the integrity of United
|
|
States financial institutions and of the global financial and
|
|
trading systems upon which prosperity and growth depend;
|
|
(4) certain jurisdictions outside of the United States that
|
|
offer ``offshore'' banking and related facilities designed to
|
|
provide anonymity, coupled with weak financial supervisory and
|
|
enforcement regimes, provide essential tools to disguise
|
|
ownership and movement of criminal funds, derived from, or used
|
|
to commit, offenses ranging from narcotics trafficking,
|
|
terrorism, arms smuggling, and trafficking in human beings, to
|
|
financial frauds that prey on law-abiding citizens;
|
|
(5) transactions involving such offshore jurisdictions make
|
|
it difficult for law enforcement officials and regulators to
|
|
follow the trail of money earned by criminals, organized
|
|
international criminal enterprises, and global terrorist
|
|
organizations;
|
|
(6) correspondent banking facilities are one of the banking
|
|
mechanisms susceptible in some circumstances to manipulation by
|
|
foreign banks to permit the laundering of funds by hiding the
|
|
identity of real parties in interest to financial transactions;
|
|
(7) private banking services can be susceptible to
|
|
manipulation by money launderers, for example corrupt foreign
|
|
government officials, particularly if those services include the
|
|
creation of offshore accounts and facilities for large personal
|
|
funds transfers to channel funds into accounts around the globe;
|
|
|
|
[[Page 115 STAT. 297]]
|
|
|
|
(8) United States anti-money laundering efforts are impeded
|
|
by outmoded and inadequate statutory provisions that make
|
|
investigations, prosecutions, and forfeitures more difficult,
|
|
particularly in cases in which money laundering involves foreign
|
|
persons, foreign banks, or foreign countries;
|
|
(9) the ability to mount effective counter-measures to
|
|
international money launderers requires national, as well as
|
|
bilateral and multilateral action, using tools specially
|
|
designed for that effort; and
|
|
(10) the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and
|
|
Supervisory Practices and the Financial Action Task Force on
|
|
Money Laundering, of both of which the United States is a
|
|
member, have each adopted international anti-money laundering
|
|
principles and recommendations.
|
|
|
|
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
|
|
(1) to increase the strength of United States measures to
|
|
prevent, detect, and prosecute international money laundering
|
|
and the financing of terrorism;
|
|
(2) to ensure that--
|
|
(A) banking transactions and financial relationships
|
|
and the conduct of such transactions and relationships,
|
|
do not contravene the purposes of subchapter II of
|
|
chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, section 21
|
|
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, or chapter 2 of
|
|
title I of Public Law 91-508 (84 Stat. 1116), or
|
|
facilitate the evasion of any such provision; and
|
|
(B) the purposes of such provisions of law continue
|
|
to be fulfilled, and such provisions of law are
|
|
effectively and efficiently administered;
|
|
(3) to strengthen the provisions put into place by the Money
|
|
Laundering Control Act of 1986 (18 U.S.C. 981 note), especially
|
|
with respect to crimes by non-United States nationals and
|
|
foreign financial institutions;
|
|
(4) to provide a clear national mandate for subjecting to
|
|
special scrutiny those foreign jurisdictions, financial
|
|
institutions operating outside of the United States, and classes
|
|
of international transactions or types of accounts that pose
|
|
particular, identifiable opportunities for criminal abuse;
|
|
(5) to provide the Secretary of the Treasury (in this title
|
|
referred to as the ``Secretary'') with broad discretion, subject
|
|
to the safeguards provided by the Administrative Procedure Act
|
|
under title 5, United States Code, to take measures tailored to
|
|
the particular money laundering problems presented by specific
|
|
foreign jurisdictions, financial institutions operating outside
|
|
of the United States, and classes of international transactions
|
|
or types of accounts;
|
|
(6) to ensure that the employment of such measures by the
|
|
Secretary permits appropriate opportunity for comment by
|
|
affected financial institutions;
|
|
(7) to provide guidance to domestic financial institutions
|
|
on particular foreign jurisdictions, financial institutions
|
|
operating outside of the United States, and classes of
|
|
international transactions that are of primary money laundering
|
|
concern to the United States Government;
|
|
(8) to ensure that the forfeiture of any assets in
|
|
connection with the anti-terrorist efforts of the United States
|
|
permits
|
|
|
|
[[Page 115 STAT. 298]]
|
|
|
|
for adequate challenge consistent with providing due process
|
|
rights;
|
|
(9) to clarify the terms of the safe harbor from civil
|
|
liability for filing suspicious activity reports;
|
|
(10) to strengthen the authority of the Secretary to issue
|
|
and administer geographic targeting orders, and to clarify that
|
|
violations of such orders or any other requirement imposed under
|
|
the authority contained in chapter 2 of title I of Public Law
|
|
91-508 and subchapters II and III of chapter 53 of title 31,
|
|
United States Code, may result in criminal and civil penalties;
|
|
(11) to ensure that all appropriate elements of the
|
|
financial services industry are subject to appropriate
|
|
requirements to report potential money laundering transactions
|
|
to proper authorities, and that jurisdictional disputes do not
|
|
hinder examination of compliance by financial institutions with
|
|
relevant reporting requirements;
|
|
(12) to strengthen the ability of financial institutions to
|
|
maintain the integrity of their employee population; and
|
|
(13) to strengthen measures to prevent the use of the United
|
|
States financial system for personal gain by corrupt foreign
|
|
officials and to facilitate the repatriation of any stolen
|
|
assets to the citizens of countries to whom such assets belong.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
|
|
(1) The Congress established the currency transaction
|
|
reporting requirements in 1970 because the Congress found then
|
|
that such reports have a high degree of usefulness in criminal,
|
|
tax, and regulatory investigations and proceedings and the
|
|
usefulness of such reports has only increased in the years since
|
|
the requirements were established.
|
|
(2) In 1994, in response to reports and testimony that
|
|
excess amounts of currency transaction reports were interfering
|
|
|
|
[[Page 115 STAT. 336]]
|
|
|
|
with effective law enforcement, the Congress reformed the
|
|
currency transaction report exemption requirements to provide--
|
|
(A) mandatory exemptions for certain reports that
|
|
had little usefulness for law enforcement, such as cash
|
|
transfers between depository institutions and cash
|
|
deposits from government agencies; and
|
|
(B) discretionary authority for the Secretary of the
|
|
Treasury to provide exemptions, subject to criteria and
|
|
guidelines established by the Secretary, for financial
|
|
institutions with regard to regular business customers
|
|
that maintain accounts at an institution into which
|
|
frequent cash deposits are made.
|
|
(3) Today there is evidence that some financial institutions
|
|
are not utilizing the exemption system, or are filing reports
|
|
even if there is an exemption in effect, with the result that
|
|
the volume of currency transaction reports is once again
|
|
interfering with effective law enforcement.
|
|
|
|
(b) Study and Report.--
|
|
(1) Study required.--The Secretary shall conduct a study
|
|
of--
|
|
(A) the possible expansion of the statutory
|
|
exemption system in effect under section 5313 of title
|
|
31, United States Code; and
|
|
(B) methods for improving financial institution
|
|
utilization of the statutory exemption provisions as a
|
|
way of reducing the submission of currency transaction
|
|
reports that have little or no value for law enforcement
|
|
purposes, including improvements in the systems in
|
|
effect at financial institutions for regular review of
|
|
the exemption procedures used at the institution and the
|
|
training of personnel in its effective use.
|
|
(2) Report required.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall
|
|
submit a report to the Congress before the end of the 1-year
|
|
period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act containing
|
|
the findings and conclusions of the Secretary with regard to the
|
|
study required under subsection (a), and such recommendations
|
|
for legislative or administrative action as the Secretary
|
|
determines to be appropriate.

|
Subtitle C--Currency Crimes and Protection
|
|
|
|
SEC. 371. BULK CASH SMUGGLING INTO OR OUT OF THE UNITED STATES.
|
|
|
|
(a) Findings.--The <<NOTE: 31 USC 5332 note.>> Congress finds the
|
|
following:
|
|
(1) Effective enforcement of the currency reporting
|
|
requirements of subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, United
|
|
States Code, and the regulations prescribed under such
|
|
subchapter, has forced drug dealers and other criminals engaged
|
|
in cash-based businesses to avoid using traditional financial
|
|
institutions.
|
|
(2) In their effort to avoid using traditional financial
|
|
institutions, drug dealers and other criminals are forced to
|
|
move large quantities of currency in bulk form to and through
|
|
the airports, border crossings, and other ports of entry where
|
|
the currency can be smuggled out of the United States and
|
|
|
|
[[Page 115 STAT. 337]]
|
|
|
|
placed in a foreign financial institution or sold on the black
|
|
market.
|
|
(3) The transportation and smuggling of cash in bulk form
|
|
may now be the most common form of money laundering, and the
|
|
movement of large sums of cash is one of the most reliable
|
|
warning signs of drug trafficking, terrorism, money laundering,
|
|
racketeering, tax evasion and similar crimes.
|
|
(4) The intentional transportation into or out of the United
|
|
States of large amounts of currency or monetary instruments, in
|
|
a manner designed to circumvent the mandatory reporting
|
|
provisions of subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, United
|
|
States Code,, is the equivalent of, and creates the same harm
|
|
as, the smuggling of goods.
|
|
(5) The arrest and prosecution of bulk cash smugglers are
|
|
important parts of law enforcement's effort to stop the
|
|
laundering of criminal proceeds, but the couriers who attempt to
|
|
smuggle the cash out of the United States are typically low-
|
|
level employees of large criminal organizations, and thus are
|
|
easily replaced. Accordingly, only the confiscation of the
|
|
smuggled bulk cash can effectively break the cycle of criminal
|
|
activity of which the laundering of the bulk cash is a critical
|
|
part.
|
|
(6) The current penalties for violations of the currency
|
|
reporting requirements are insufficient to provide a deterrent
|
|
to the laundering of criminal proceeds. In particular, in cases
|
|
where the only criminal violation under current law is a
|
|
reporting offense, the law does not adequately provide for the
|
|
confiscation of smuggled currency. In contrast, if the smuggling
|
|
of bulk cash were itself an offense, the cash could be
|
|
confiscated as the corpus delicti of the smuggling offense.
|
|
|
|
(b) Purposes.--The <<NOTE: 31 USC 5332 note.>> purposes of this
|
|
section are--
|
|
(1) to make the act of smuggling bulk cash itself a criminal
|
|
offense;
|
|
(2) to authorize forfeiture of any cash or instruments of
|
|
the smuggling offense; and
|
|
(3) to emphasize the seriousness of the act of bulk cash
|
|
smuggling.
|
|
|
|
(c) Enactment of Bulk Cash Smuggling Offense.--Subchapter II of
|
|
chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by adding at the
|
|
end the following:
|
|
|
|
``Sec. 5332. Bulk cash smuggling into or out of the United States

``(c) Civil Forfeiture.--

SEC. 1002. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
|
|
|
|
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
|
|
(1) all Americans are united in condemning, in the strongest
|
|
possible terms, the terrorists who planned and carried out the
|
|
attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, and in
|
|
pursuing all those responsible for those attacks and their
|
|
sponsors until they are brought to justice;
|
|
(2) Sikh-Americans form a vibrant, peaceful, and law-abiding
|
|
part of America's people;
|
|
|
|
[[Page 115 STAT. 392]]
|
|
|
|
(3) approximately 500,000 Sikhs reside in the United States
|
|
and are a vital part of the Nation;
|
|
(4) Sikh-Americans stand resolutely in support of the
|
|
commitment of our Government to bring the terrorists and those
|
|
that harbor them to justice;
|
|
(5) the Sikh faith is a distinct religion with a distinct
|
|
religious and ethnic identity that has its own places of worship
|
|
and a distinct holy text and religious tenets;
|
|
(6) many Sikh-Americans, who are easily recognizable by
|
|
their turbans and beards, which are required articles of their
|
|
faith, have suffered both verbal and physical assaults as a
|
|
result of misguided anger toward Arab-Americans and Muslim-
|
|
Americans in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist
|
|
attack;
|
|
(7) Sikh-Americans, as do all Americans, condemn acts of
|
|
prejudice against any American; and
|
|
(8) Congress is seriously concerned by the number of crimes
|
|
against Sikh-Americans and other Americans all across the Nation
|
|
that have been reported in the wake of the tragic events that
|
|
unfolded on September 11, 2001.
|
|
|
|
(b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
|
|
(1) declares that, in the quest to identify, locate, and
|
|
bring to justice the perpetrators and sponsors of the terrorist
|
|
attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, the civil
|
|
rights and civil liberties of all Americans, including Sikh-
|
|
Americans, should be protected;
|
|
(2) condemns bigotry and any acts of violence or
|
|
discrimination against any Americans, including Sikh-Americans;
|
|
(3) calls upon local and Federal law enforcement authorities
|
|
to work to prevent crimes against all Americans, including Sikh-
|
|
Americans; and
|
|
(4) calls upon local and Federal law enforcement authorities
|
|
to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law all those who
|
|
commit crimes.

SEC. 1013. EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING THE PROVISION
|
|
OF FUNDING FOR BIOTERRORISM PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE.
|
|
|
|
(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
|
|
(1) Additional steps must be taken to better prepare the
|
|
United States to respond to potential bioterrorism attacks.
|
|
(2) The threat of a bioterrorist attack is still remote, but
|
|
is increasing for a variety of reasons, including--
|
|
(A) public pronouncements by Osama bin Laden that it
|
|
is his religious duty to acquire weapons of mass
|
|
destruction, including chemical and biological weapons;
|
|
(B) the callous disregard for innocent human life as
|
|
demonstrated by the terrorists' attacks of September 11,
|
|
2001;
|
|
(C) the resources and motivation of known terrorists
|
|
and their sponsors and supporters to use biological
|
|
warfare;
|
|
(D) recent scientific and technological advances in
|
|
agent delivery technology such as aerosolization that
|
|
have made weaponization of certain germs much easier;
|
|
and
|
|
(E) the increasing access to the technologies and
|
|
expertise necessary to construct and deploy chemical and
|
|
biological weapons of mass destruction.
|
|
(3) Coordination of Federal, State, and local terrorism
|
|
research, preparedness, and response programs must be improved.
|
|
(4) States, local areas, and public health officials must
|
|
have enhanced resources and expertise in order to respond to a
|
|
potential bioterrorist attack.
|
|
(5) National, State, and local communication capacities must
|
|
be enhanced to combat the spread of chemical and biological
|
|
illness.
|
|
(6) Greater resources must be provided to increase the
|
|
capacity of hospitals and local health care workers to respond
|
|
to public health threats.
|
|
(7) Health care professionals must be better trained to
|
|
recognize, diagnose, and treat illnesses arising from
|
|
biochemical attacks.
|
|
(8) Additional supplies may be essential to increase the
|
|
readiness of the United States to respond to a bio-attack.
|
|
(9) Improvements must be made in assuring the safety of the
|
|
food supply.
|
|
(10) New vaccines and treatments are needed to assure that
|
|
we have an adequate response to a biochemical attack.
|
|
(11) Government research, preparedness, and response
|
|
programs need to utilize private sector expertise and resources.
|
|
(12) Now is the time to strengthen our public health system
|
|
and ensure that the United States is adequately prepared to
|
|
respond to potential bioterrorist attacks, natural infectious
|
|
disease outbreaks, and other challenges and potential threats to
|
|
the public health.
|
|
|
|
[[Page 115 STAT. 399]]
|
|
|
|
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the
|
|
United States should make a substantial new investment this year toward
|
|
the following:
|
|
(1) Improving State and local preparedness capabilities by
|
|
upgrading State and local surveillance epidemiology, assisting
|
|

USC 5195c.>> CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES PROTECTION.
|
|
|
|
(a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Critical
|
|
Infrastructures Protection Act of 2001''.
|
|
(b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
|
|
(1) The information revolution has transformed the conduct
|
|
of business and the operations of government as well as the
|
|
infrastructure relied upon for the defense and national security
|
|
of the United States.
|
|
(2) Private business, government, and the national security
|
|
apparatus increasingly depend on an interdependent network of
|
|
critical physical and information infrastructures, including
|
|
telecommunications, energy, financial services, water, and
|
|
transportation sectors.
|
|
(3) A continuous national effort is required to ensure the
|
|
reliable provision of cyber and physical infrastructure services
|
|
critical to maintaining the national defense, continuity of
|
|
government, economic prosperity, and quality of life in the
|
|
United States.
|
|
(4) This national effort requires extensive modeling and
|
|
analytic capabilities for purposes of evaluating appropriate
|
|
mechanisms to ensure the stability of these complex and
|
|
interdependent systems, and to underpin policy recommendations,
|
|
so as to achieve the continuous viability and adequate
|
|
protection of the critical infrastructure of the Nation.
|
|
|
|
(c) Policy of the United States.--It is the policy of the United
|
|
States--
|
|
(1) that any physical or virtual disruption of the operation
|
|
of the critical infrastructures of the United States be rare,
|
|
brief, geographically limited in effect, manageable, and
|
|
minimally detrimental to the economy, human and government
|
|
services, and national security of the United States;
|
|
(2) that actions necessary to achieve the policy stated in
|
|
paragraph (1) be carried out in a public-private partnership
|
|
involving corporate and non-governmental organizations; and
|
|
(3) to have in place a comprehensive and effective program
|
|
to ensure the continuity of essential Federal Government
|
|
functions under all circumstances.

|
|
systems and to facilitate modification of such systems
|
|
to mitigate the threats to such systems and to critical
|
|
infrastructures generally.
|
|
(B) Acquisition from State and local governments and
|
|
the private sector of data necessary to create and
|
|
maintain models of such systems and of critical
|
|
infrastructures generally.
|
|
(C) Utilization of modeling, simulation, and
|
|
analysis under subparagraph (A) to provide education and
|
|
training to policymakers on matters relating to--
|
|
(i) the analysis conducted under that
|
|
subparagraph;
|
|
(ii) the implications of unintended or
|
|
unintentional disturbances to critical
|
|
infrastructures; and
|
|
(iii) responses to incidents or crises
|
|
involving critical infrastructures, including the
|
|
continuity of government and private sector
|
|
activities through and after such incidents or
|
|

persons and entities upon request, regarding means of
|
|
enhancing the stability of, and preserving, critical
|
|
infrastructures.
|
|
(3) Recipient of certain support.--Modeling, simulation, and
|
|
analysis provided under this subsection shall be provided, in
|
|
particular, to relevant Federal, State, and local entities
|
|

|
|
(e) Critical Infrastructure Defined.--In this section, the term
|
|
``critical infrastructure'' means systems and assets, whether physical
|
|
or virtual, so vital to the United States that the incapacity or
|
|
destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact
|
|
on security, national economic security, national public health or
|
|
safety, or any combination of those matters.
