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.

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

described in subsection (b), the Secretary shall consult with
the Secretary of State and the Attorney General.

of the bank supervisory and counter-money laundering laws
of that jurisdiction;

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.

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

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 concealment in any article of clothing
worn by the individual or 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 years.
`(2) FORFEITURE- In addition, the court,
in imposing sentence 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.

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

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:

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.
