its departments or agencies has violated any provision of this
chapter, and the court or appropriate department or agency finds

the department or agency concerned and shall provide the Inspector
General with the reasons for such determination.'; and

of mailing, by certified or registered mail, of notice of final
denial of the claim by the agency to which it was presented. The

`(c) ADMINISTRATIVE DISCIPLINE- If a court or appropriate

facts, and circumstances involved in the 2 proceedings, without
requiring that any one or more factors be identical.
`(3) In requesting a stay under paragraph (1), the Government may,
in appropriate cases, submit evidence ex parte in order to avoid

TITLE III--INTERNATIONAL MONEY LAUNDERING ABATEMENT AND
ANTI-TERRORIST FINANCING ACT OF 2001
SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the `International Money Laundering
Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001'.
SEC. 302. 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;
(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 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.
SEC. 303. 4-YEAR CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW; EXPEDITED CONSIDERATION.

Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, and the
amendments made thereby, shall no longer have the force of law.'.

exist for concluding that a jurisdiction outside of the United
States, 1 or more financial institutions operating outside of
the United States, 1 or more classes of transactions within, or

assistance treaty with that jurisdiction, and the experience
of United States law enforcement officials and regulatory
officials in obtaining information about transactions
originating in or routed through or to such jurisdiction;
and
`(vii) the extent to which that jurisdiction is
characterized by high levels of official or institutional
corruption.
`(B) INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS- In the case of a decision to apply

promote money laundering in or through the jurisdiction;

that the purposes of this subchapter continue to be
fulfilled, and to guard against international money
laundering and other financial crimes.
`(d) NOTIFICATION OF SPECIAL MEASURES INVOKED BY THE SECRETARY-

SEC. 366. EFFICIENT USE OF CURRENCY TRANSACTION REPORT SYSTEM.
(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 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 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 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 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
`(a) CRIMINAL OFFENSE-
`(1) IN GENERAL- Whoever, with the intent to evade a currency
reporting requirement under section 5316, knowingly conceals
more than $10,000 in currency or other monetary instruments on
the person of such individual or in any conveyance, article of
luggage, merchandise, or other container, and transports or
transfers or attempts to transport or transfer such currency or
monetary instruments from a place within the United States to a
place outside of the United States, or from a place outside the
United States to a place within the United States, shall be
guilty of a currency smuggling offense and subject to punishment
pursuant to subsection (b).
`(2) CONCEALMENT ON PERSON- For purposes of this section, the
concealment of currency on the person of any individual includes

in any luggage, backpack, or other container worn or carried by
such individual.
`(b) PENALTY-
`(1) TERM OF IMPRISONMENT- A person convicted of a currency
smuggling offense under subsection (a), or a conspiracy to
commit such offense, shall be imprisoned for not more than 5

under paragraph (1), shall order that the defendant forfeit to
the United States, any property, real or personal, involved in
the offense, and any property traceable to such property,
subject to subsection (d) of this section.
`(3) PROCEDURE- The seizure, restraint, and forfeiture of
property under this section shall be governed by section 413 of
the Controlled Substances Act.
`(4) PERSONAL MONEY JUDGMENT- If the property subject to
forfeiture under paragraph (2) is unavailable, and the defendant
has insufficient substitute property that may be forfeited
pursuant to section 413(p) of the Controlled Substances Act, the
court shall enter a personal money judgment against the
defendant for the amount that would be subject to forfeiture.
`(c) CIVIL FORFEITURE-
`(1) IN GENERAL- Any property involved in a violation of
subsection (a), or a conspiracy to commit such violation, and
any property traceable to such violation or conspiracy, may be
seized and, subject to subsection (d) of this section, forfeited

the procedures governing civil forfeitures in money laundering
cases pursuant to section 981(a)(1)(A) of title 18, United
States Code.
`(3) TREATMENT OF CERTAIN PROPERTY AS INVOLVED IN THE OFFENSE-
For purposes of this subsection and subsection (b), any currency
or other monetary instrument that is concealed or intended to be
concealed in violation of subsection (a) or a conspiracy to
commit such violation, any article, container, or conveyance
used, or intended to be used, to conceal or transport the
currency or other monetary instrument, and any other property
used, or intended to be used, to facilitate the offense, shall
be considered property involved in the offense.'.
(c) CLERICAL AMENDMENT- The table of sections for subchapter II of
chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by
inserting after the item relating to section 5331, as added by
this Act, the following new item:

(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.
(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
in the development of response plans, assuring adequate staffing
and training of health professionals to diagnose and care for
victims of bioterrorism, extending the electronics
communications networks and training personnel, and improving
public health laboratories.
(2) Improving hospital response capabilities by assisting
hospitals in developing plans for a bioterrorist attack and
improving the surge capacity of hospitals.
(3) Upgrading the bioterrorism capabilities of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention through improving rapid
identification and health early warning systems.
(4) Improving disaster response medical systems, such as the
National Disaster Medical System and the Metropolitan Medical
Response System and Epidemic Intelligence Service.
(5) Targeting research to assist with the development of
appropriate therapeutics and vaccines for likely bioterrorist
agents and assisting with expedited drug and device review
through the Food and Drug Administration.
(6) Improving the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile program by
increasing the amount of necessary therapies (including smallpox
vaccines and other post-exposure vaccines) and ensuring the
appropriate deployment of stockpiles.
(7) Targeting activities to increase food safety at the Food and
Drug Administration.
(8) Increasing international cooperation to secure dangerous
biological agents, increase surveillance, and retrain biological
warfare specialists.
