SEC. 778. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO GLOBAL WARMING.

(a) FINDINGS- Congress makes the following findings:

(1) Evidence continues to build that increases in atmospheric concentrations of man-made greenhouse gases are contributing to global climate change.

(2) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that `there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities' and that the Earth's average temperature can be expected to rise between 2.5 and 10.4 degrees Fahrenheit in this century.

(3) The National Academy of Sciences confirmed the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, stating that `the IPCC's conclusion that most of the observed warming of the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase of greenhouse gas concentrations accurately reflects the current thinking of the scientific community on this issue' and that `there is general agreement that the observed warming is real and particularly strong within the past twenty years'.

(4) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has stated that in the last 40 years the global average sea level has risen, ocean heat content has increased, and snow cover and ice extent have decreased, which threatens to inundate low-lying island nations and coastal regions throughout the world.

(5) The Environmental Protection Agency has found that global warming may harm the United States by altering crop yields, accelerating sea level rise, and increasing the spread of tropical infectious diseases.

(6) In 1992, the United States ratified the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change, done at New York on May 9, 1992, the ultimate objective of which is the `stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system', and which stated in part `the Parties to the Convention are to implement policies with the aim of returning . . . to their 1990 levels anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases'.

(7) There is a shared international responsibility to address this problem, as industrial nations are the largest historic and current emitters of greenhouse gases and developing nations' emissions will significantly increase in the future.

(8) The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change further states that `developed country Parties should take the lead in combating climate change and the adverse effects thereof', as these nations are the largest historic and current emitters of greenhouse gases.

(9) Senate Resolution 98 of July 1997, which expressed that developing nations, especially the largest emitters, must also be included in any future, binding climate change treaty and that such a treaty must not result in serious harm to the United States economy, should not cause the United States to abandon its shared responsibility to help find a solution to the global climate change dilemma.

(10) American businesses need to know how governments worldwide will respond to the threat of global warming.

(11) The United States has benefited and will continue to benefit from investments in the research, development, and deployment of a range of clean energy and efficiency technologies that can mitigate global warming and that can make the United States economy more productive, bolster energy security, create jobs, and protect the environment.

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS- It is the sense of Congress that the United States should demonstrate international leadership and responsibility in mitigating the health, environmental, and economic threats posed by global warming by--

(1) taking responsible action to ensure significant and meaningful reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases from all sectors;

(2) creating flexible international and domestic mechanisms, including joint implementation, technology deployment, emissions trading, and carbon sequestration projects that will reduce, avoid, and sequester greenhouse gas emissions; and

(3) participating in international negotiations, including putting forth a proposal at the next meeting of the Conference of the Parties, with the objective of securing United States' participation in a revised Kyoto Protocol or other future binding climate change agreements in a manner--

(A) that is consistent with the environmental objectives of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; and

(B) that protects the economic interests of the United States and recognizes the shared international responsibility for addressing climate change, including developing country participation.

SEC. 779. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND OTHER ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS IN THE PHILIPPINES EMANATING FROM FORMER UNITED STATES MILITARY FACILITIES.

It is the sense of the Congress that--

(1) the Secretary, in cooperation with the Secretary of Defense, should continue to work with the Government of the Philippines and with appropriate nongovernmental organizations in the United States and the Philippines to fully identify and share all relevant information concerning environmental contamination and other adverse health effects emanating from former United States military facilities in the Philippines following departure of the United States military forces from the Philippines in 1992;

(2) the United States and the Government of the Philippines should continue to build upon the agreements outlined in the Joint Statement by the United States and the Republic of the Philippines on a Framework for Bilateral Cooperation in the Environment and Public Health signed on July 27, 2000; and

(3) Congress should encourage an objective nongovernmental study which would examine environmental contamination and other adverse health effects emanating from former United States military facilities in the Philippines following departure of United States military forces from the Philippines in 1992.

SEC. 780. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON BOLIVIA.

(a) FINDINGS- Congress makes the following findings:

(1) Bolivia has made significant progress in combating illegal drug production and drug trafficking activities occurring within its borders.

(2) The success of Bolivia's efforts has caused disruptions within its economy, including the displacement of persons and the loss of employment.

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS- It is the sense of Congress that Bolivia should receive in fiscal year 2002 an amount of United States assistance that is not less than the total amount of United States assistance (including economic support fund assistance, international drug control assistance, and other assistance) that Bolivia received in fiscal year 2001.

SEC. 781. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON RETURN OF PORTRAITS OF HOLOCAUST VICTIMS TO THE ARTIST DINA BABBITT.

(a) FINDINGS- Congress finds that--

(1) Dina Babbitt (formerly known as Dinah Gottliebova), a United States citizen now in her late 70s, has requested the return of watercolor portraits she painted while suffering a 1 1/2 -year-long internment at the Auschwitz death camp during World War II;

(2) Dina Babbitt was ordered to paint the portraits by the infamous war criminal Dr. Josef Mengele;
