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 <<NOTE: International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial
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.

grounds 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 involving, a jurisdiction outside of the United
States, or 1 or more types of accounts is of primary money
laundering concern so as to authorize the Secretary of the

of State and the Attorney General.
``(2) Additional considerations.--In making a finding
described in paragraph (1), the Secretary shall consider in

financial transactions occurring in that
jurisdiction and the size of the economy of the
jurisdiction;

characterized as an offshore banking or secrecy
haven by credible international organizations or
multilateral expert groups;

legal 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 1 or more of the special measures
described in subsection (b) only to a financial
institution or institutions, or to a transaction or
class of transactions, or to a type of account, or to
all 3, within or involving a particular jurisdiction--

institutions, transactions, or types of accounts
are used to facilitate
[[Page 115 STAT. 303]]
or promote money laundering in or through the
jurisdiction;

transactions, or types of accounts are used for
legitimate business purposes in the jurisdiction;
and
``(iii) the extent to which such action is
sufficient to ensure, with respect to transactions
involving the jurisdiction and institutions
operating in 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.--
Not later <<NOTE: Deadline.>> than 10 days after the date of any action
taken by the Secretary of the Treasury under subsection (a)(1), the

period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act.
SEC. 366. <<NOTE: 31 USC 5313 note.>> 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
[[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.

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

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

``(2) Concealment on person.--For purposes of this section,

defendant for the amount that would be subject to forfeiture.

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

(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

SEC. 1016. <<NOTE: Critical Infrastructure Protection Act of 2001. 42
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.
