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
2000
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.
(a) In General.--Effective on and after the first day of fiscal

Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, and the amendments made thereby, shall

sequence or combination as the Secretary shall
determine;

2000
particular special 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 the

States national security and foreign policy.

such manner, and for such period of time, as the

information as the Secretary may determine, including--

``(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:

particular jurisdiction--

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.

`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 Fede
2000
ral 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.''.

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 ins
2000
truments 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

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

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.
