``(d) Administrative Discipline.--If a court or appropriate
department or agency determines that the United States or any
of its departments or agencies has violated any provision of
this chapter, and the court or appropriate department or
agency finds that the circumstances surrounding the violation
raise serious questions about whether or not an officer or
employee of the United States acted willfully or
intentionally with respect to the violation, the department
or agency shall, upon receipt of a true and correct copy of
the decision and findings of the court or appropriate
department or agency promptly initiate a proceeding to
determine whether disciplinary action against the officer or
employee is warranted. If the head of the department or
agency involved determines that disciplinary action is not
warranted, he or she shall notify the Inspector General with
jurisdiction over the department or agency concerned and
shall provide the Inspector General with the reasons for such
determination.''; and
(3) by adding a new subsection (g), as follows:
``(g) Improper Disclosure.--Any willful disclosure of a
`record', as that term is defined in section 552a(a) of title
5, United States Code, obtained by an investigative or law
enforcement officer, or a governmental entity, pursuant to
section 2703 of this title, or from a device installed
pursuant to section 3123 or 3125 of this title, that is not a
disclosure made in the proper performance of the official
functions of the officer or governmental entity making the
disclosure, is a
[[Page H7166]]
violation of this chapter. This provision shall not apply to
information previously lawfully disclosed (prior to the
commencement of any civil or administrative proceeding under
this chapter) to the public by a Federal, State, or local
governmental entity or by the plaintiff in a civil action
under this chapter.''.
(c)(1) Chapter 121 of title 18, United States Code, is

title or of sections 106(a), 305(a), or 405(a) of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1801 et
seq.) may commence an action in United States District Court
against the United States to recover money damages. In any
such action, if a person who is aggrieved successfully
establishes such a violation of this chapter or of chapter
119 of this title or of the above specific provisions of
title 50, the Court may assess as damages--
``(1) actual damages, but not less than $10,000, whichever
amount is greater; and
``(2) litigation costs, reasonably incurred.

section shall be forever barred unless it is presented in
writing to the appropriate Federal agency within 2 years
after such claim accrues or unless action is begun within 6
months after the date of mailing, by certified or registered
mail, of notice of final denial of the claim by the agency to
which it was presented. The claim shall accrue on the date
upon which the claimant first has a reasonable opportunity to
discover the violation.''.
``(3) Any action under this section shall be tried to the
court without a jury.
``(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
procedures set forth in section 106(f), 305(g), or 405(f) of
the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C.
1801 et seq.) shall be the exclusive means by which materials
governed by those sections may be reviewed.
``(5) An amount equal to any award against the United
States under this section shall be reimbursed by the
department or agency concerned to the fund described in
section 1304 of title 31, United States Code, out of any

such appropriation, fund, or account that is available for
the enforcement of any Federal law) that is available for the
operating expenses of the department or agency concerned.
``(c) Administrative Discipline.--If a court or appropriate
department or agency determines that the United States or any
of its departments or agencies has violated any provision of
this chapter, and the court or appropriate department or
agency finds that the circumstances surrounding the violation
raise serious questions about whether or not an officer or
employee of the United States acted willfully or
intentionally with respect to the possible violation, the
department or agency shall, upon receipt of a true and
correct copy of the decision and findings of the court or
appropriate department or agency promptly initiate a
proceeding to determine whether disciplinary action against

action is not warranted, he or she shall notify the Inspector
General with jurisdiction over the department or agency
concerned and shall provide the Inspector General with the
reasons for such determination.
``(d) Exclusive Remedy.--Any action against the United
States under this subsection shall be the exclusive remedy
against the United States for any claims within the purview

related criminal case. Such a stay shall toll the limitations
periods of paragraph (2) of subsection (b).
``(2) In this subsection, the terms `related criminal case'
and `related investigation' mean an actual prosecution or
investigation in progress at the time at which the request
for the stay or any subsequent motion to lift the stay is
made. In determining whether an investigation or a criminal
case is related to an action commenced under this section,
the court shall consider the degree of similarity between the
parties, witnesses, 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 disclosing any matter that may
adversely affect a related investigation or a related
criminal case. If the Government makes such an ex parte
submission, the plaintiff shall be given an opportunity to
make a submission to the court, not ex parte, and the court
may, in its discretion, request further information from
either party.''.

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
[[Page H7167]]
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.

measure would create a significant competitive disadvantage,
including any undue cost or burden associated with
compliance, for financial institutions organized or licensed
in the United States;
``(iii) the extent to which the action or the timing of the
action would have a significant adverse systemic impact on

``(c) Consultations and Information To Be Considered in
Finding Jurisdictions, Institutions, Types of Accounts, or
Transactions To Be of Primary Money Laundering Concern.--
``(1) In general.--In making a finding that reasonable
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 Treasury to take 1 or more of the special
measures described in subsection (b), the Secretary shall
consult with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General.
``(2) Additional considerations.--In making a finding
described in paragraph (1), the Secretary shall consider in
addition such information as the Secretary determines to be
relevant, including the following potentially relevant
factors:
``(A) Jurisdictional factors.--In the case of a particular
jurisdiction--
``(i) evidence that organized criminal groups,
international terrorists, or both, have transacted business
in that jurisdiction;
``(ii) the extent to which that jurisdiction or financial
institutions operating in that jurisdiction offer bank
secrecy or special regulatory advantages to nonresidents or
nondomiciliaries of that jurisdiction;
``(iii) the substance and quality of administration of the
bank supervisory and counter-money laundering laws of that
jurisdiction;
``(iv) the relationship between the volume of financial
transactions occurring in that jurisdiction and the size of
the economy of the jurisdiction;
``(v) the extent to which that jurisdiction is
characterized as an offshore banking or secrecy haven by
credible international organizations or multilateral expert
groups;
``(vi) whether the United States has a mutual 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--
``(i) the extent to which such financial institutions,
transactions, or types of accounts are used to facilitate or
promote money laundering in or through the jurisdiction;
``(ii) the extent to which such institutions, 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 than 10 days after the date of any
action taken by the Secretary of the Treasury under
subsection (a)(1), the Secretary shall notify, in writing,
the Committee on Financial Services of the House of
Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and
Urban Affairs of the Senate of any such action.
``(e) Definitions.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
this subchapter, for purposes of this section and subsections
(i) and (j) of section 5318, the following definitions shall
apply:
``(1) Bank definitions.--The following definitions shall
apply with respect to a bank:
``(A) Account.--The term `account'--
``(i) means a formal banking or business relationship
established to provide regular services, dealings, and other
financial transactions; and
``(ii) includes a demand deposit, savings deposit, or other
transaction or asset account and a credit account or other
extension of credit.
``(B) Correspondent account.--The term `correspondent
account' means an account established to receive deposits
from, make payments on behalf of a foreign financial
institution, or handle other financial transactions related
to such institution.
``(C) Payable-through account.--The term `payable-through
account' means an account, including a transaction account
(as defined in section 19(b)(1)(C) of the Federal Reserve
Act), opened at a depository institution by a foreign
financial institution by means of which the foreign financial
institution permits its customers to engage, either directly
or through a subaccount, in banking activities usual in
connection with the business of banking in the United States.
``(2) Definitions applicable to institutions other than
banks.--With respect to any financial institution other than
a bank, the Secretary shall, after consultation with the
appropriate Federal functional regulators (as defined in
section 509 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), define by
regulation the term `account', and shall include within the
meaning of that term, to the extent, if any, that the
Secretary deems appropriate, arrangements similar to payable-
through and correspondent accounts.
``(3) Regulatory definition of beneficial ownership.--The
Secretary shall promulgate regulations defining beneficial
ownership of an account for purposes of this section and
subsections (i) and (j) of section 5318. Such regulations
shall address issues related to an individual's authority to
fund, direct, or manage the account (including, without
limitation, the power to direct payments into or out of the
account), and an individual's material interest in the income
or corpus of the account, and shall ensure that the
identification of individuals under this section does not
extend to any individual whose beneficial interest in the
income or corpus of the account is immaterial.''.
``(4) Other terms.--The Secretary may, by regulation,
further define the terms in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3), and
define other terms for the purposes of this section, as the
Secretary deems appropriate.''.
(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections for
subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code,

States for a non-United States person, including a foreign

policies, procedures, and controls that are reasonably
designed to detect and report instances of money laundering
through those accounts.
``(2) Additional standards for certain correspondent
accounts.--

correspondent account is requested or maintained by, or on
behalf of, a foreign bank operating--

the group or organization concurs; or

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
[[Page H7178]]
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

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 concealment in any article of clothing worn by the
individual or in any luggage, backpack, or other container

``(b) Penalty.--
``(1) Term of imprisonment.--A person convicted of a
currency smuggling offense under subsection (a), or a

``(2) Forfeiture.--In addition, the court, in imposing

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,

``(2) Procedure.--The seizure and forfeiture shall be
governed by 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.''.

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:
``5332. Bulk cash smuggling into or out of the United States.''.

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.

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.

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.

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
