SEC. 2302. SPECIAL ENVOY FOR TIBET.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
        withholds meaningful participation in the governance of Tibet 
        from Tibetans and has failed to abide by its own constitutional 
        guarantee of autonomy for Tibetans.
            (2) The Government of the People's Republic of China is 
        responsible for the destruction of much of Tibet's cultural and 
        religious heritage since 1959 and continues to threaten the 
        survival of Tibetan culture and religion.
            (3) The Government of the People's Republic of China, 
        through direct and indirect incentives, has established 
        discriminatory development programs which have resulted in an 
        overwhelming flow of Chinese immigrants into Tibet, including 
        those areas incorporated into the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, 
        Yunnan, Gansu, and Quinghai in recent years, and have excluded 
        Tibetans from participation in important policy decisions, 
        further threatening traditional Tibetan life.
            (4) The Government of the People's Republic of China denies 
        Tibetans their fundamental human rights, as reported in the 
        Department of State's Country Reports on Human Rights Practices 
        for 1995.
            (5) The President and the Congress have determined that the 
        promotion of human rights in Tibet and the protection of 
        Tibet's religion and culture are important elements in United 
        States-China relations and have urged senior members of the 
        Government of the People's Republic of China to enter into 
        substantive negotiations on these matters with the Dalai Lama 
        or his representative.
            (6) The Dalai Lama has repeatedly stated his willingness to 
        begin substantive negotiations without preconditions.
            (7) The Government of the People's Republic of China has 
        failed to respond in a good faith manner by reciprocating a 
        willingness to begin negotiations without preconditions, and no 
        substantive negotiations have begun.
    (b) United States Special Envoy for Tibet.--Section 1(e) of the 
State Department Basic Authorities Act (U.S.C. 2651a(e)) is amended by 
adding after paragraph (2) the following new paragraph:
            ``(3) United states special envoy for tibet.--
                    ``(A) There shall be within the Department of State 
                a United States Special Envoy for Tibet, who shall be 
                appointed by the President, by and with the advice and 
                consent of the Senate. The United States Special Envoy

                shall have the personal rank of ambassador.

        of the Tibetan people, the Dalai Lama, his representatives, and 
        the Tibetan Government in exile, concerning the situation in

 CHAPTER 2--RELATING TO THE UNITED STATES-NORTH KOREA AGREED FRAMEWORK 
 AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF NORTH KOREA UNDER THAT AND PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS 
   WITH RESPECT TO THE DENUCLEARIZATION OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA AND 
                  DIALOGUE WITH THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

SEC. 2641. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States-Democratic People's Republic of Korea 
        Agreed Framework (``Agreed Framework''), entered into on 
        October 21, 1994, between the United States and North Korea, 
        requires North Korea to stop and eventually dismantle its 
        graphite-moderated nuclear reactor program and related 
        facilities, and comply fully with its obligations under the 
        Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange 
        for alternative energy sources, including interim supplies of 
        bunker oil for electric generators and more proliferation-
        resistant light water reactor technology.
            (2) The Agreed Framework also commits North Korea to 
        ``consistently take steps to implement the North-South Joint 
        Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula'' 
        and ``engage in North-South'' dialogue with the Republic of 
        Korea.
            (3) The Agreed Framework does not indicate specific 
        criteria for full normalization of relations between the United 
        States and North Korea, and does not link the sequencing of 
        actions in the Agreed Framework with any time-frame for 
        carrying out the provisions of the North-South Joint 
        Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and 
        carrying out the dialogue between North Korea and the Republic 
        of Korea.
            (4) The commitment by North Korea to carry out the letter 
        and spirit of the Agreed Framework has been put into doubt by 
        actions of North Korea since October 21, 1994, including the 
        suspected diversion of United States heavy fuel oil in apparent 
        contravention of the agreed purpose of the interim fuel 
        deliveries, the refusal to accept light water reactors from the 
        Republic of Korea, the harsh denunciations of the Government of 
        the Republic of Korea, and other actions contrary to the 
        commitment by North Korea to engage in a dialogue with such 
        Government, and the continued conduct of provocative, offensive 
        oriented military exercises.
            (5) The nuclear threat posed by North Korea is just one of 
        a number of security concerns of the United States arising out 
        of the policies of North Korea.

SEC. 2642. CLARIFICATION OF NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION OBLIGATIONS OF 
              NORTH KOREA UNDER THE AGREED FRAMEWORK.

    It is the sense of the Congress that in discussions or negotiations 
with the Government of North Korea pursuant to the implementation of 
the United States-Democratic People's Republic of Korea Agreed 
Framework (in this joint resolution referred to as the ``Agreed 
Framework''), entered into on October 21, 1994, the President should 
uphold the following minimum conditions relating to nuclear 
nonproliferation:
            (1) All spent fuel from the graphite-moderated nuclear 
        reactors and related facilities of North Korea should be 
        removed from the territory of North Korea as is consistent with 
        the Agreed Framework.
            (2) The International Atomic Energy Agency should have the 
        freedom to conduct any and all inspections that it deems 
        necessary to fully account for the stocks of plutonium and 
        other nuclear materials in North Korea, including special 
        inspections of suspected nuclear waste sites, before any 
        nuclear components controlled by the Nuclear Supplier Group 
        Guidelines are delivered for a light water reactor for North 
        Korea.
            (3) The dismantlement of all declared graphite-based 
        nuclear reactors and related facilities in North Korea, 
        including reprocessing units, should be completed in accordance 
        with the Agreed Framework and in a manner that effectively bars 
        in perpetuity any reactivation of such reactors and facilities.
            (4) The United States should suspend actions described in 
        the Agreed Framework if North Korea attempts to reload its 
        existing 5 megawatt nuclear reactor or resumes construction of 
        nuclear facilities other than those permitted to be built under 
        the Agreed Framework.

SEC. 2643. ROLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA UNDER THE AGREED FRAMEWORK.

    It is further the sense of the Congress that the Republic of Korea 
should play the central role in the project to provide light water 
reactors to North Korea under the Agreed Framework.

SEC. 2644. FURTHER STEPS TO PROMOTE UNITED STATES SECURITY AND 
              POLITICAL INTERESTS WITH RESPECT TO NORTH KOREA.

    It is further the sense of the Congress that, after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the President should not take further steps 
toward upgrading diplomatic relations with North Korea beyond opening 
liaison offices or relaxing trade and investment barriers imposed 
against North Korea without--
            (1) action by the Government of North Korea to engage in a 
        North-South dialogue with the Government of the Republic of 
        Korea;
            (2) implementation of the North-South Joint Declaration on 
        the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula; and
            (3) progress toward the achievement of several long-
        standing United States policy objectives regarding North Korea 
        and the Korean Peninsula, including--
                    (A) reducing the number of military forces of North 
                Korea along the Demilitarized Zone and relocating such 
                military forces away from the Demilitarized Zone;
                    (B) prohibiting any movement by North Korea toward 
                the deployment of an intermediate range ballistic 
                missile system; and
                    (C) prohibiting the export by North Korea of 
                missiles and other weapons of mass destruction, 
                including related technology and components.

SEC. 2645. RESTRICTIONS ON ASSISTANCE TO NORTH KOREA AND THE KOREAN 
              PENINSULA ENERGY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION.

    Funds authorized to be appropriated or appropriated under any 
provision of law may be used to provide assistance to North Korea or 
the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization only if such 
assistance is provided under the same terms and conditions that govern 
the provision of assistance to North Korea or such organization under 
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151 et seq.) including, 
inter alia--
            (1) the requirement that the congressional committees 
        specified in section 634A of such Act (22 U.S.C. 2394) be 
        notified pursuant to that section in the case of any 
        reprogramming of funds; and
            (2) the requirement that a special authority, such as 
        section 614 of such Act, be used to waive the application of 
        provisions of law subject to such special authority that would 
        otherwise restrict or prohibit the provision of such 
        assistance.

                            CHAPTER 3--BURMA

SEC. 2651. UNITED STATES POLICY CONCERNING THE DICTATORSHIP IN BURMA.

    (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
the President should take steps to encourage the United Nations 
Security Council to--
            (1) impose an international arms embargo on Burma;
            (2) affirm support for human rights and the protection of 
        all Karen, Karenni, and other minorities in Burma;
            (3) condemn Burmese officials responsible for crimes 
        against humanity;
            (4) take steps to encourage multilateral assistance 
        programs for refugees from Burma in Thailand and India; and
            (5) reduce United Nations activities in Burma, including 
        UNDP (United Nations Development Program), UNICEF (United 
        Nations Childrens Fund), UNFPA (United Nations Family Planning 
        Agency), World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture 
        Organization (FAO), and UNIDCP (United Nations International 
        Drug Control Program) activities.
    (b) Reduction in Diplomatic Presence.--It is the sense of the 
Congress that the President should reduce the diplomatic presence of 
the United States in Burma by reducing the total number of the members 
of the Foreign Service stationed in Burma on the date of enactment of 
this Act.
    (c) Visas.--
            (1) Notwithstanding the Immigration and Nationality Act or 
        any other provision of law, no member, officer, or employee of 
        any military or police force of Burma under the military regime 
        (the State Law and Order Restoration Council ``SLORC'') shall 
        be granted an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa.
            (2) The Secretary of State shall deny a visa under the 
        provisions of section 212(a)(3)(C)(i) of the Immigration and 
        Nationality Act (relating to aliens ineligible to receive visas 
        and excluded for admission due to potentially serious foreign 
        policy consequences) to any official of the Government of Burma 
        who the Attorney General determines has committed acts which 
        constitute the essential elements of a violation under chapter 
        113A of title 18, United States Code, (relating to the 
        Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading 
        Treatment or Punishment).

this chapter have the same meaning given such terms in section 101(a) 
of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
    (b) Torture.--As used in this chapter, the term ``torture'' means 
any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, 
is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining 
from the person or a third person information or a confession, 
punishing the person for an act the person or a third person has 
committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or 
coercing the person or a third person, or for any reason based on 
discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted 
by, at the instigation of, or with the consent or acquiescence of a 
public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does 
not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in, or 
incidental to lawful sanctions.
    (c) Substantial Grounds for Believing.--As used in this chapter, 
the term ``substantial grounds for believing'' means substantial 
evidence.
    (d) In Danger of Being Subjected to Torture.--As used in this 
chapter, the term ``in danger of being subjected to torture'' means 
circumstances in which a reasonable person would fear subjection to 
torture.

``involuntarily return'' means to take action by which it is reasonably 
foreseeable that a person will be required to return to a country 
against the person's will, regardless of whether such return is induced 
by physical force and regardless of whether the person is physically 
present in the United States.

SEC. 2663. UNITED STATES POLICY WITH RESPECT TO THE INVOLUNTARY RETURN 
              OF PERSONS SUBJECTED TO TORTURE.

    The United States shall not expel, extradite, or otherwise 
involuntarily return a person to a country in which there are

SEC. 2664. IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES FOR TORTURE VICTIMS.

    (a) In General.--Any alien--
            (1) who presents a credible claim of having been subjected 
        to torture in the alien's country of nationality, or, in the 
        case of an alien having no nationality, the country in which 
        the alien last habitually resided, and
            (2) who applies for--
                    (A) refugee status under section 207 of the 
                Immigration and Nationality Act,
                    (B) asylum under section 208 of that Act, or
                    (C) withholding of deportation under section 243(h) 
                of that Act,
shall be processed in accordance with this section.
    (b) Consideration of the Effects of Torture.--In considering 
applications for refugee status, asylum, or withholding of deportation 
made by aliens described in subsection (a), the appropriate officials 
shall take into account--
            (1) the manner in which the effects of torture can affect 
        the applicant's responses in the application and in the 
        interview process or other immigration proceedings, as the case 
        may be;
            (2) the difficulties torture victims often have in 
        recounting their suffering under torture; and
            (3) the fear victims have of returning to their country of 
        nationality where, even if torture is no longer practiced or 
        the incidence of torture is reduced, their torturers may have 
        gone unpunished and may remain in positions of authority.
    (c) Expedited Processing of Refugee Admissions.--For purposes of 
section 207(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, a refugee who 
presents a credible claim of having been subjected to torture shall be 
considered to be a refugee of special humanitarian concern to the 
United States and shall be accorded priority in selection from the 
waiting list of such refugees based on compelling humanitarian 
concerns.
    (d) Expedited Processing for Asylum and Withholding of 
Deportation.--Upon the request of the alien, the alien's counsel, or a 
health care professional treating the alien, an asylum officer or 
special inquiry officer may expedite the scheduling of an asylum 
interview or an exclusion or deportation proceeding for an alien 
described in subsection (a), if such officer determines that an undue 
delay in making a determination regarding asylum or withholding of 
deportation with respect to the alien would aggravate the physical or 
psychological effects of torture upon the alien.
    (e) Parole in Lieu of Detention.--The finding, upon inspection at a 
port of entry of the United States, that an alien described in 
subsection (a) suffers from the effects of torture, such as depressive 
and anxiety disorders, shall be a strong presumptive basis for a grant 
of parole, under section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act, in lieu of detention.
    (f) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Attorney General shall allocate resources sufficient to maintain in the 
Resource Information Center of the Immigration and Naturalization 
Service information relating to the use of torture in foreign 
countries.

SEC. 2665. SPECIALIZED TRAINING FOR CONSULAR, IMMIGRATION, AND ASYLUM 
              PERSONNEL.

    (a) In General.--The Attorney General shall provide training for 
immigration inspectors and examiners, immigration officers, asylum 
officers, special inquiry officers, and all other relevant officials of 
the Department of Justice, and the Secretary of State shall provide 
training for consular officers, with respect to--
            (1) the identification of the evidence of torture;
            (2) the identification of the surrounding circumstances in 
        which torture is practiced;
            (3) the long-term effects of torture upon the person;
            (4) the identification of the physical, cognitive, and 
        emotional effects of torture, including depressive and anxiety 
        disorders, and the manner in which these effects can affect the 
        interview or hearing process; and
            (5) the manner of interviewing victims of torture so as not 
        to retraumatize them, eliciting the necessary information to 
        document the torture experience, and understanding the 
        difficulties victims often have in recounting their torture 
        experience.
    (b) Gender-Related Considerations.--In conducting training under 
subsection (a)(4) or subsection (a)(5), gender specific training shall 
be provided on the subject of interacting with women and men who are 
victims of torture by rape or any other form of sexual violence.

SEC. 2666. STUDY AND REPORT ON TORTURE VICTIMS IN THE UNITED STATES.

    (a) Study.--The Center for Disease Control shall conduct a study 
with respect to refugees and asylees admitted to the United States 
since October 1, 1987, who were tortured abroad, for the purpose of 
identifying--
            (1) the estimated number and geographic distribution of 
        such persons;
            (2) the needs of such persons for recovery services; and
            (3) the availability of such services.
    (b) Report.--Not later than December 31, 1997, the Center for 
Disease Control shall submit a report to the Judiciary Committees of 
the House of Representatives and the Senate setting forth the findings 
of the study conducted under subsection (a), together with any 
recommendation for increasing the services available to persons 
described in subsection (a), including any recommendation for 
legislation, if necessary.

SEC. 2667. DOMESTIC TREATMENT CENTERS.

    (a) Amendment of the Immigration and Nationality Act.--Section 412

        (A).
    ``(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term `torture' has the

centers for the treatment of victims of torture).
    (2) Amounts appropriated pursuant to this subsection are authorized 
to remain available until expended.

                 TITLE XXVII--CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENTS

SEC. 2701. INTER-AMERICAN ORGANIZATIONS.

    Taking into consideration the long-term commitment by the United 
States to the affairs of this Hemisphere and the need to build further 
upon the linkages between the United States and its neighbors, the 
Secretary of State, in allocating the level of resources for 
international organizations, should pay particular attention to funding 
levels of the Inter-American organizations.

SEC. 2702. TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The sovereign and independent state of Bosnia-

        America on April 7, 1992.
            (2) The sovereign and independent state of Bosnia-
        Herzegovina was admitted as a full participating State of the

        1992.
            (3) The sovereign and independent state of Bosnia-
        Herzegovina was admitted as a Member state of the United 
        Nations on May 22, 1992.
            (4) The United States has declared its determination to 
        respect and put into practice the Declaration on Principles 
        Guiding Relations between Participating States contained in the 
        Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in 
        Europe.
            (5) Each of the principles has been violated during the 
        course of war in Bosnia-Herzegovina: sovereign equality and 
        respect for the rights inherent in sovereignty, refraining from 
        the threat or use of force; inviolability of frontiers; 
        territorial integrity of States; peaceful settlement of 
        disputes; nonintervention in internal affairs; respect for 
        human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of 
        thought, conscience, religion or belief; equal rights and self-
        determination of peoples; cooperation among States; and 
        fulfillment in good faith of obligations under international 
        law.
            (6) Principle II of the Final Act commits the participating 
        States to ``refrain from any manifestation of force for the 
        purpose of inducing another participating State to renounce the 
        full exercise of its sovereign rights''.
            (7) Principle III of the Final Act commits the 
        participating States to ``refrain from any demand for, or act 
        of, seizure and usurpation of part or all of the territory of 
        any participating State''.
            (8) Principle IV of the Final Act commits the participating 
        States to ``respect the territorial integrity of each of the 
        participating States'' and ``refrain from any action 
        inconsistent with the purposes and principles of the Charter of 
        the United Nations against the territorial integrity, political 
        independence or the unity of any participating State''.
            (9) The Charter of Paris for a New Europe commits the 
        participating States ``to cooperate in defending democratic 
        institutions against activities which violate the independence, 
        sovereign equality, or territorial integrity of the 
        participating States''.
            (10) The Helsinki Document 1992 reaffirms ``the validity of 
        the guiding principles and common values of the Helsinki Final 
        Act and the Charter of Paris, embodying responsibilities of 
        States towards each other and of governments towards their own 
        people'' which serve as the ``collective conscience of our 
        community''.
            (11) The Charter of the United Nations calls upon Member 
        states to respect the territorial integrity and political 
        independence of any state in keeping with the Purposes of the 
        United Nations.
            (12) The sovereign and independent state of Bosnia-
        Herzegovina has been and continues to be subjected to armed 
        aggression Bosnian Serb forces, Croatian Serb forces, and 
        others in violation of Final Act and the Charter.
            (13) Unchecked armed aggression and genocide threatens the 
        lives of innocent civilians as well as the very existence of 
        the sovereign and independent state of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
United States should refuse to recognize the incorporation of any of 
the territory of Bosnia-Herzegovina into the territory of any 
neighboring state or the creation of any new state or states within the 
borders of Bosnia-Herzegovina resulting from the threat or use of 
force, coercion, or any other means inconsistent with international 
law.

SEC. 2703. THE LAOGAI SYSTEM OF POLITICAL PRISONS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Chinese gulag, known as the Laogai, was created as 
        a primary means of political repression and control when the 
        Communists assumed power in China in 1949.
            (2) The Laogai has caused millions of people to suffer 
        grave human rights abuses over the past 46 years, including 
        countless deaths.
            (3) The Laogai continues to be used to incarcerate unknown 
        numbers of ordinary citizens for political reasons, including 
        workers, students, intellectuals, religious believers, and 
        Tibetans.
            (4) So-called ``thought reform'' is a standard practice of 
        Laogai officials, and reports of torture are routinely received 
        by human rights organizations from Laogai prisoners and 
        survivors.
            (5) Negotiations about unfettered access to Laogai 
        prisoners between the Chinese Government and the International 
        Red Cross have ceased.
            (6) The Laogai is in reality a huge system of forced labor 
        camps in which political and penal criminals are slave laborers 
        producing an array of products for export throughout the world, 
        including the United States.
            (7) The Chinese Government continues to maintain, as part 
        of its official propaganda and in defiance of significant 
        evidence to the contrary gathered by many human rights 
        organizations, that the Laogai is a prison system like any 
        other in the world.
            (8) Testimony delivered before the Subcommittee on 
        International Operations and Human Rights of the Committee on 
        International Relations of the House of Representatives has 
        documented human rights abuses in the Laogai which continue to 
        this day.
            (9) The American people have repeatedly expressed their 
        abhorrence of forced labor camps systems, whether they be 
        operated by the Nazis, Soviet Communists, or any other 
        political ideology.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
President should--
            (1) publicly condemn the continued existence of the Laogai, 
        and call upon the Government of the People's Republic of China 
        to dismantle it, and release all of its political prisoners; 
        and
            (2) instruct the appropriate diplomatic representatives of 
        the United States to cause a resolution condemning the Laogai 
        to be put before the United Nations Human Rights Commission and 
        work for its passage.

SEC. 2704. CONCERNING THE USE OF FUNDS TO FURTHER NORMALIZE RELATIONS 
              WITH VIETNAM.

    It is the sense of the Congress that none of the funds authorized 
to be appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be 
obligated or expended to further normalize diplomatic relations between 
the United States and Vietnam, until Vietnam--
            (1) releases all of its political and religious prisoners;
            (2) accounts for American POWs and MIAs from the Vietnam 
        War;
            (3) holds democratic elections; and
            (4) institutes policies which protect human rights.

SEC. 2705. DECLARATION OF CONGRESS REGARDING UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT 
              HUMAN RIGHTS POLICY TOWARD CHINA.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) According to the 1994 State Department Country Reports 
        on Human Rights Practices there continue to be ``widespread and 
        well-documented human rights abuses in China, in violation of 
        internationally accepted norms . . . (including) arbitrary and 
        lengthy incommunicado detention, torture, and mistreatment of 
        prisoners. The regime continued severe restrictions on freedoms 
        of speech, press assembly and association, and tightened 
        controls on the exercise of these rights during 1994. Serious 
        human rights abuses persisted in Tibet and other areas 
        populated by ethnic minorities''.
            (2) The President, in announcing his decision on Most 
        Favored Nation trading status for China in May 1994 stated 
        that, ``China continues to commit very serious human rights 
        abuses. Even as we engage the Chinese on military, political, 
        and economic issues, we intend to stay engaged with those in 
        China who suffer from human rights abuses. The United States 
        must remain a champion of their liberties''.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
President should take the following actions:
            (1) Decline the invitation to visit China until and unless 
        there is dramatic overall progress on human rights in China and 
        Tibet and communicate to the Government of China that such a 
        visit cannot take place without such progress. Indications of 
        overall progress would include the release of hundreds of 
        political, religious, and labor activists; an agreement to 
        allow unhindered confidential access to prisoners by 
        international humanitarian agencies; enactment of major legal 
        reforms such as an end to all restrictions on the exercise of 
        freedom of religion, revocation of the 1993 state security law, 
        and the abolition of all so-called ``counter-revolutionary'' 
        crimes; and a decision to allow unrestricted access to Tibet by 
        foreign media and international human rights monitors.
            (2) Seek to develop an agreement on a multilateral strategy 
        to promote human rights in China with other members of the G-7, 
        beginning with the meeting of the G-7 industrial partners 
        scheduled for June 1995 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Such an 
        agreement should include efforts to encourage greater 
        cooperation by the Government of China with the human rights 
        rapporteurs and working groups of the United Nations Human 
        Rights Commission, as well as bilateral and multilateral 
        initiatives to secure the unconditional release of imprisoned 
        peaceful pro-democracy advocates such as Wei Jingsheng.
            (3) Instruct the United States delegates to the United 
        Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in September 1995 to 
        vigorously and publicly support nongovernmental organizations 
        that may be subjected to harassment or to restrictions or 
        limitations on their activities, access to the media, or to 
        channels of communication during the conference by the 
        Government of China and to protest publicly and privately any 
        actions by the Government of China aimed at punishing or 
        repressing Chinese citizens who seek to peacefully express 
        their views or communicate with foreign citizens or media 
        during or following the United Nations Conference.
            (4) Extend an invitation to the Dalai Lama to visit 
        Washington, District of Columbia, in 1995.
    (c) United States Government Human Rights Policy Toward China.--It 
shall be the policy of the United States Government to continue to 
promote internationally recognized human rights and worker rights in 
China and Tibet. The President shall submit the following reports on 
the formulation and implementation of United States human rights policy 
toward China and the results of that policy to the International 
Relations Committee of the House of Representatives:
            (1) Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
        this Act, the President shall report on the status of the ``new 
        United States Human Rights Policy for China'' announced by the 
        President on May 26, 1994, including an assessment of the 
        implementation and effectiveness of the policy in bringing 
        about human rights improvements in China and Tibet, with 
        reference to the following specific initiatives announced on 
        that date:
                    (A) High-level dialogue on human rights.
                    (B) Voluntary principles in the area of human 
                rights for United States businesses operating in China.
                    (C) Increased contact with and support for groups 
                and individuals in China promoting law reform and human 
                rights.
                    (D) Increased exchanges to support human rights law 
                reform in China.
                    (E) The practice of all United States officials who 
                visit China to meet with the broadest possible spectrum 
                of Chinese citizens.
                    (F) Increased efforts to press United States views 
                on human rights in China at the United Nations, the 
                United Nations Human Rights Commission, and other 
                international organizations.
                    (G) A plan of international actions to address 
                Tibet's human rights problems and to promote 
                substantive discussions between the Dalai Lama and the 
                Chinese Government.
                    (H) Efforts to use the 1995 United Nations Women's 
                Conference in Beijing to expand freedoms of speech, 
                association, and assembly, as well as the rights of 
                women, in China.
                    (I) An information strategy for promoting human 
                rights by expanding Chinese and Tibetan language 
                broadcasts on the Voice of America and establishing 
                Radio Free Asia.
                    (J) Encouraging the Chinese Government to permit 
                international human rights groups to operate in and 
                visit China.
            (2) Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of 
        this Act, the President shall report on the status of Chinese 
        Government compliance with United States laws prohibiting the 
        importation into the United States of forced labor products, 
        including (but not limited to) a complete assessment and report 
        on the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding signed 
        by the United States and China in 1992. The report shall 
        include (but not be limited to) the following:
                    (A) All efforts made by the United States Customs 
                Service from 1992 until the date of the report to 
                investigate forced labor exports and to conduct 
                unannounced unrestricted inspections of suspected 
                forced labor sites in China, and the extent to which 
                Chinese authorities cooperated with such 
                investigations.
                    (B) Recommendations of what further steps might be 
                taken to enhance United States effectiveness in 
                prohibiting forced labor exports to the United States 
                from China.

SEC. 2706. CONCERNING THE UNITED NATIONS VOLUNTARY FUND FOR VICTIMS OF 
              TORTURE.

    It is the sense of the Congress that the President, acting through 
the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations, 
should--
            (1) request the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims 
        of Torture--
                    (A) to find new ways to support and protect 
                treatment centers that are carrying out rehabilitative 
                services for victims of torture; and
                    (B) to encourage the development of new such 
                centers;
            (2) use the voice and vote of the United States to support 
        the work of the Special Rapporteur on Torture and the Committee 
        Against Torture established under the Convention Against 
        Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or 
        Punishment; and
            (3) use the voice and vote of the United States to 
        establish a country rapporteur or similar procedural mechanism 
        to investigate human rights violations in a country if either 
        the Special Rapporteur or the Committee Against Torture 
        indicates that a systematic practice of torture is prevalent in 
        that country.
