 (43)Page 30, after line 3 insert:
    Sec. 112. Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that 
the Attorney General should:
            (a) Evaluate the number of individuals illegally crossing 
        the United States-Mexico border;
            (b) Develop and implement a policy that seeks to curb the 
        number of illegal border crossings;
            (c) Ensure that any policy developed seeks to curb the 
        number of crossings equally along the entirety of the Southwest 
        border; and
            (d) Ensure that such policy enables law enforcement 
        officials to shift resources to address any increases in the 
        number of illegal border crossings wherever they may occur.

 (44)Page 30, after line 3 insert:
    Sec. 113. (a) The Senate finds that--
            (1) $14,000,000,000 is owed to over 9,000,000 children as a 
        result of interstate child support evasion;
            (2) chapter 11A of title 18, United States Code, effective 
        since October 25, 1992, makes willful avoidance of child 
        support payments across State lines a Federal crime;
            (3) chapter 11A of title 18, United States Code, is a 
        useful Federal tool to assist in the collection and enforcement 
        of interstate child support cases;
            (4) the President has committed to improve interstate child 
        support enforcement as a part of his welfare reform initiative;
            (5) despite such commitment, only five cases have been 
        tried or filed under chapter 11A of title 18, United States 
        Code;
            (6) custodial parents with legitimate cases for prosecution 
        seeking to bring charges under chapter 11A of title 18, United 
        States Code, are being turned away by local Federal law 
        enforcement officials or referred back to State child support 
        agencies; and
            (7) despite Justice Department guidelines, many local 
        Federal law enforcement agencies continue to display a 
        fundamental lack of knowledge concerning the existence and 
        means of enforcement of chapter 11A of title 18, United States 
        Code.
    (b) It is the sense of the Senate that the Attorney General of the 
United States should immediately address the deficiencies in the 
enforcement of chapter 11A of title 18, United States Code, to make 
local Federal law enforcement agencies more responsive to the needs of 
custodial parents owed interstate child support and to significantly 
increase the number of cases filed and prosecuted under chapter 11A of 
title 18, United States Code.

 (45)Page 30, after line 3 insert:
    Sec. 114. Section 1404(a)(5)(B) of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984

inserting ``1995''.

 (46)Page 30, after line 3 insert:
    Sec. 115. Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
President of the United States and the President-elect of Mexico should 
meet as soon as possible following the August elections in Mexico to 
discuss bilateral issues of mutual concern with the objective of 
deepening and strengthening the ties between the two neighbors, with 
emphasis on cooperation to establish equitable and effective regulation 
of the flow of citizens across the border between Mexico and the United 
States.

 (47)Page 30, after line 3 insert:
    Sec. 116. Of the funds appropriated by this Act for Contributions 
to International Organizations and Contributions for International 
Peacekeeping Activities in title V, and for Contributions for 
International Peacekeeping Operations in title VII, not less than 
$350,000,000 shall be made available until expended to carry out the 
provisions of section 501 of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 
1986, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1365), to reimburse States for the cost of 
incarcerating illegal aliens.

 (48)Page 30, after line 3 insert:

SEC. 117. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE CASE OF UNITED STATES V. 
              KNOX.

    (a) Declarations.--The Congress declares that--
            (1) the Congress has passed legislation to protect children 
        against the evils of child pornography, including the Child 
        Protection Act of 1984, and provided for the enforcement of 
        those laws;
            (2) on November 4, 1993, the Senate, by a vote of 100-0, 
        and on April 20, 1994, the House of Representatives, by a vote 
        of 425-3, rejected the Justice Department's new, narrow 
        interpretation of the Federal child pornography statutes as 
        delineated by the Solicitor General in the case of United 
        States v. Knox and implored the Justice Department to properly 
        enforce the law and protect our Nation's children;
            (3) on June 9, 1994, the United States Court of Appeals for 
        the Third Circuit in the case of United States v. Knox rejected 
        the Justice Department's narrow interpretation of the Federal 
        child pornography statutes and reaffirmed the conviction of 
        Stephen Knox; and
            (4) the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit properly 
        interpreted the Child Protection Act of 1984.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the Justice Department should accept the decision of 
        the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in the 
        case of United States v. Knox;
            (2) the Justice Department should vigorously oppose any 
        effort by the defendant in that case, or any other party, to 
        overturn the decision in that case; and
            (3) in the future the Justice Department should exercise 
        its prosecutorial discretion in accord with that decision.

 (49)Page 30, after line 3 insert:
    Sec. 118. It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) any alien who is being deported upon release from 
        imprisonment for commiting an offense which is an aggravated 
        felony, as defined under immigration laws, should be escorted 
        out of the United States by a Federal law enforcement official 
        or employee of the Service; and
            (2) the Attorney General must take adequate safeguards and 
        determine that there is no threat to the public health and 
        safety in deporting any alien described in paragraph (1) where 
        the Attorney General knows or has reason to know that the alien 
        has a communicable disease of public health significance (as 
        determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Servces).

SEC. 514. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONDEMNING THE SINKING OF THE ``13TH OF 
              MARCH'' BY THE GOVERNMENT IN CUBA.

    (a) Findings.--
            (1) There are credible reports that on July 15, 1994 Cuban 
        government vessels fired high-pressure water hoses, repeatedly 
        rammed and deliberately sunk the ``13th of March'', a tugboat 
        carrying 72 unarmed cuban citizens.
            (2) About forty of the men, women, and children passengers 
        on the ``13th of March'' drowned as a result of Cuban 
        government actions, including most or all of the twenty 
        children aboard.
            (3) The President of the United States ``deplored'' the 
        sinking of the ``13th of March'' as ``another example of the 
        brutal nature of the Cuban regime''.
            (4) All of the men who survived the sinking of the ``13th 
        of March'' have been imprisoned by the cuban government.
            (5) The freedom to emigrate is an internationally 
        recognized human right and freedom's fundamental guarantor of 
        last resort.
            (6) The Cuban government, by jamming TV and Radio Marti, 
        denies the Cuban people the right of free access to 
        information, including information about this tragedy.
    (b) It is the sense of the Senate to--
            (1) comdemn the Cuban government for deliberately sinking 
        the ``13th of March'', causing the deaths of about 40 Cuban 
        citizens, including about twenty children;
            (2) urge the President to direct the United States 
        Permanent Representative to the United Nations to seek a 
        resolution in the United Nations Security Council that--
                    (A) condemns the sinking of the ``13th of March'';
                    (B) provides for a full internationally supervised 
                investigation of the incident; and
                    (C) urges the Cuban government to release from 
                prison and cease intimidation measures against all 
                survivors of the sinking of the ``13th of March''.

SEC. 611. RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the liberties protected by our Constitution include 
        religious liberty protected by the first amendment;
            (2) citizens of the United States profess the beliefs of 
        almost every conceivable religion;
            (3) Congress has historically protected religious 
        expression even from governmental action not intended to be 
        hostile to religion;
            (4) the Supreme Court has written that ``the free exercise 
        of religion means, first and foremost, the right to believe and 
        profess whatever religious doctrine one desires'';
            (5) the Supreme Court has firmly settled that under our 
        Constitution the public expression of ideas may not be 
        prohibited merely because the content of the ideas is offensive 
        to some;
            (6) Congress enacted the Religious Freedom Restoration Act 
        of 1993 to restate and make clear again our intent and position 
        that religious liberty is and should forever be granted 
        protection from unwarranted and unjustified government 
        intrusions and burdens;
            (7) the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has written 
        proposed guidelines to title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 
        1964, published in the Federal Register on October 1, 1993, 
        that expand the definition of religious harassment beyond 
        established legal standards set forth by the Supreme Court, and 
        that may result in the infringement of religious liberty;
            (8) such guidelines do not appropriately resolve issues 
        related to religious liberty and religious expression in the 
        workplace;
            (9) properly drawn guidelines for the determination of 
        religious harassment should provide appropriate guidance to 
        employers and employees and assist in the continued 
        preservation of religious liberty as guaranteed by the first 
        amendment;
            (10) the Commission states in its proposed guidelines that 
        it retains wholly separate guidelines for the determination of 
        sexual harassment because the Commission believes that sexual 
        harassment raises issues about human interaction that are to 
        some extent unique; and
            (11) the subject of religious harassment also raises issues 
        about human interaction that are to some extent unique in 
        comparison to other harassment.
    (b) Category of Religious Harassment in Proposed Guidelines.--For 
purposes of issuing final regulations under title VII of the Civil 
Rights Act of 1964 in connection with the proposed guidelines published 
by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on October 1, 1993 (58 
Fed. Reg. 51266), the Chairperson of the Equal Employment Opportunity 
Commission shall ensure that--
            (1) the category of religion shall be withdrawn from the 
        proposed guidelines;
            (2) any new guidelines for the determination of religious 
        harassment shall be drafted so as to make explicitly clear that 
        symbols or expressions of religious belief consistent with the 
        first amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 
        1993 are not to be restricted and do not constitute proof of 
        harassment;
            (3) the Commission shall hold public hearings on such new 
        proposed guidelines; and
            (4) the Commission shall receive additional public comment 
        before issuing similar new regulations.
