 To prohibit foreign assistance to Russia unless certain requirements 
 relating to Russian intelligence activities, relations between Russia 
   and certain neighboring countries, and the reform of the Russian 
                            economy are met.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. PROHIBITION ON FOREIGN ASSISTANCE TO RUSSIA UNLESS CERTAIN 
              REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES, 
              RELATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CERTAIN NEIGHBORING 
              COUNTRIES, AND REFORM OF RUSSIAN ECONOMY ARE MET.

    (a) In General.--Foreign assistance may not be provided to Russia 
for any fiscal year beginning after fiscal year 1995 unless the 
President certifies to Congress for such fiscal year that--
            (1) the United States Government has received satisfactory 
        assurances from the Government of Russia that Russia's 
        intelligence activities in the United States are confined to 
        what is considered routine, non-adversarial information 
        gathering activities;
            (2) the Government of Russia has concluded written 
        agreements with the Governments of Latvia, Estonia, and Moldova 
        on the unconditional withdrawal of Russian troops from those 3 
        nations and is making continual progress toward fulfilling the 
        agreements;
            (3) Russian troops in the Kaliningrad region of Russia are 
        respecting the sovereign territory of Lithuania and other 
        neighboring countries and that such troops are not offensively 
        postured against any other countries;
            (4) the activities of the Government of Russia in the 
        independent states of the former Soviet Union do not represent 
        an attempt by Russia to diminish the sovereignty and 
        independence of such states;
            (5) the Government of Russia is not pursuing policies in 
        the former Yugoslavia that are contrary to the interests of the 
        United States and its allies; and
            (6) the Government of Russia is committed to reforming the 
        Russian economy along free-market lines, and is taking concrete 
        steps in this direction.
    (b) Certifications for Fiscal Year 1995.--In addition to the 
requirements contained in subsection (a), with respect to fiscal year 
1995, foreign assistance may not be provided to Russia unless the 
President certifies to the Congress for such fiscal year that the 
Government of Russia has provided the United States Government with a 
full and accurate accounting of the espionage activities related to the 
case of Aldrich Hazen Ames of the Central Intelligence Agency.
    (c) Report.--For any fiscal year after the date of the enactment of 
this Act, the President shall provide to the Congress a report 
containing the following information:
            (1) The amount of foreign assistance provided to Russia for 
        the preceding fiscal year, including the purpose for which such 
        assistance was provided and an assessment of its effectiveness.
            (2) A detailed accounting of the amount of foreign 
        assistance appropriated which has not been expended and the 
        status of such assistance.
            (3) An estimate of the total amount of capital exported 
        from Russia during the previous fiscal year.
    (d) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
the United States Government should oppose all lending to Russia by the 
international financial institutions to which the United States is a 
member unless the Government of Russia is in compliance with the 
requirements contained in subsection (a) or subsection (b), as the case 
may be.
    (e) Foreign Assistance Defined.--For purposes of this section, the 
term ``foreign assistance'' means assistance under the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961 or the Freedom for Russia and Emerging Eurasian 
Democracies and Open Markets Support Act of 1992, except that such term 
does not include--
            (1) humanitarian assistance;
            (2) educational and cultural exchanges between the United 
        States and Russia;
            (3) assistance provided by the National Endowment for 
        Democracy; and
            (4) assistance for the purpose of destroying nuclear 
        weapons, chemical weapons, and other weapons, and related 
        assistance.
