                                 A BILL


 
              To promote peace and security in South Asia.

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

SECTION 1. PROMOTION OF PEACE AND SECURITY IN SOUTH ASIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The American people fervently desire that all the 
        peoples of South Asia enjoy peace and share an increased sense 
        of security.
            (2) The peace and security of South Asia are threatened by 
        an arms race, particularly the spread of weapons of mass 
        destruction and their modern delivery systems.
            (3) Congress has granted both a one-time exception to and 
        partial repeal of United States nuclear nonproliferation laws 
        in order to permit the Government of Pakistan to receive 
        certain United States military equipment and training and 
        limited economic aid.
            (4) The exception and partial repeal was based on direct 
        assurances to the United States Government that ``there will be 
        no significant change on nuclear and missile nonproliferation 
        issues of concern to the United States''.
            (5) The Director of Central Intelligence has informed 
        Congress that Pakistan has taken recent delivery of ``nuclear 
        technology'' and ``M-11 missiles'' from the People's Republic 
        of China.
            (6) The justification for the exception to and partial 
        repeal of United States nonproliferation laws is no longer 
        valid.
    (b) Repeal.--Section 620E of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 
U.S.C. 2375) is amended to read as if the amendments made to such 
section by section 559 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and 
Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1996 (Public Law 104-107) had not 
been made.
