to girls and women expelled from universities, women have
been prohibited from leaving their homes unless accompanied
by a close male relative, and publicly visible windows of
women's houses have been ordered to be painted black.

shrouds the body, leaving only a small mesh-covered opening
through which to see.

girls have been prohibited from being examined by male
physicians while at the same time, most female doctors and
nurses have been prohibited from working.

violating Taliban decrees.

recognized the Taliban as the legitimate government of

against suicide bombings.

is straining our Federal court system and delaying justice
for people all across this country'';
In January 1998, when there were 82 Federal judicial
vacancies, Senator Leahy stated, ``Any week in which the
Senate does not confirm three judges is a week in which the
Senate is failing to address the vacancy crisis'';
The events of September 11, 2001, make it more important
than ever that the branches of the Federal Government should

judiciary to be as close to full strength as possible;

``judicial emergencies''; and
The Senate has confirmed only 12 judicial nominees to date,
which represents 27 percent of President Bush's judicial
nominations sent to the Senate prior to the 2001 August
recess:
It is the sense of the Senate that (1) prior to the end of
the first session of the 107th Congress, the Committee on the
Judiciary shall hold hearings on, and the Committee on the
Judiciary and the full Senate shall have votes on, at a
minimum, the judicial nominations sent to the Senate by the
President prior to August 4, 2001, and (2) the standard for
approving pre-August recess judicial nominations for past
administrations should be the standard for this and future
administrations regardless of political party.

(1) In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September
11, 2001, it is more important than ever to foster peaceful
relationships with citizens of predominantly Muslim
countries.
(2) One way to foster understanding between citizens of
predominantly Muslim countries and the United States is to
send United States citizens to work with citizens of Muslim
countries on constructive projects in their home countries.
(3) The Peace Corps mission as stated by Congress in the
Peace Corps Act is to promote world peace and friendship.
(4) Within that mission, the Peace Corps has three goals:
(A) To assist the people of interested countries in meeting
the need of those countries for trained men and women.
(B) To assist in promoting a better understanding of
Americans on the part of the peoples served.
(C) To assist in promoting a better understanding of other
peoples on the part of Americans.
(5) The Peace Corps has had significant success in meeting
these goals in the countries in which the Peace Corps
operates, and has already established mechanisms to put
volunteers in place and sustain them abroad.
(6) The Peace Corps currently operates in very few
predominantly Muslim countries.
(7) An increased number of Peace Corps volunteers in Muslim
countries would assist in promoting peace and understanding
between Americans and Muslims abroad.
(b) Study.--The Director of the Peace Corps shall undertake
a study to determine--
(1) the feasibility of increasing the number of Peace Corps
volunteers in countries that have a majority Muslim
population;
(2) the manner in which the Peace Corps may target the
recruitment of Peace Corps volunteers from among United
States citizens who have an interest in those countries or
who speak Arabic;
(3) appropriate mechanisms to ensure the safety of Peace
Corps volunteers in countries that have a majority Muslim
population; and
(4) the estimated increase in funding that will be
necessary for the Peace Corps to implement any recommendation
resulting from the study of the matters described in
paragraphs (1) through (3).
(c) Report.--Not later than 6 months after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Director of the Peace Corps shall
submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report
containing the findings of the study conducted under
subsection (b).
(d) Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined.--In this

has displaced more than 4,000,000 people.
(2) The victims of this 18-year war are not confined to one

in southern Sudan.
(3) Humanitarian assistance to the Sudanese is a
cornerstone of United States foreign assistance policy and
efforts to end the war in Sudan.
(4) The United States Government has been the largest
single provider of humanitarian assistance to the Sudanese
people, providing $1,200,000,000 in humanitarian assistance
to war victims during the past 10 years, including
$161,400,000 during fiscal year 2000 alone.

people of Sudan, who have suffered under the National Islamic
Front (NIF) government.

safe haven for well-known terrorist organizations, including

(3) The NIF government has been engaged, and continues to
engage, in gross human rights violations against the civilian
population of Sudan, including the enslavement of women and
children, the bombardment of civilian targets, and the
scorched-earth destruction of villages in the oil fields of
Sudan.
(c) Sense of the Senate.--In recognition of the sustained
struggle for self-determination and dignity by the Sudanese
people, as embodied in the IGAD Declaration of Principles,
and the statement adopted by the United States Commission on
International

[[Page S10986]]

Religious Freedom on October 2, 2001, it is the sense of the

Mountains;
(C) end slavery and punish those responsible for this crime
against humanity;

freedom, including freedom from coercive religious
conversions;

process based on the already adopted Declaration of
Principles; and

comprehensive settlement of the political problems; and

populations who have been brutalized by the Sudanese
government throughout the 18-year conflict.
