                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Senate in support of extending some of the 
 benefits of enhanced economic relations enjoyed by the United States 
   and Israel to those countries that sustain a ``warm'' peace with 
                                Israel.

Whereas the Congress approved a free trade agreement with Israel on April 29, 
        1985;
Whereas the free trade agreement with Israel was designed to increase United 
        States economic ties with Israel;
Whereas the goal of United States policy in the Middle East is to achieve a 
        lasting peace that brings economic integration and development in the 
        region;
Whereas economic integration and development in the Middle East can only be 
        achieved through a ``warm'' peace in which diplomats are exchanged, the 
        Arab boycott of Israel has been eliminated, close cooperation between 
        Israel and her neighbors to combat terrorism and international criminal 
        activity has been established, mutual security agreements have been 
        concluded, and agreements have been reached that mutually reduce 
        barriers to the free flow of goods, people, and ideas; and
Whereas a ``warm'' peace in the Middle East between Israel and her neighbors 
        should be based upon trade and expanding economic development: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that the President 
should--
            (1) expand the free trade agreement between the United 
        States and Israel to include those countries that sustain a 
        ``warm'' peace with Israel;
            (2) prior to such expansion, and annually thereafter, 
        certify to the Congress that such country or countries have 
        entered into a ``warm'' peace with Israel that includes--
                    (A) the recognition of Israel and establishment of 
                full diplomatic relations with Israel, including the 
                exchange of ambassadors;
                    (B) eliminating all levels of the Arab boycott of 
                Israel;
                    (C) a commitment to a quick response to condemn and 
                punish acts of international terrorism and those who 
                perpetrate them;
                    (D) working closely with United States and Israel 
                to remove havens for international terrorists;
                    (E) mutual security agreements with Israel;
                    (F) extradition agreements with Israel on 
                reciprocal treatment of terrorists; and
                    (G) agreements with Israel which ensure the mutual 
                reduction of barriers to the free flow of goods and 
                people; and
            (3) not extend any preferences or trade inducements to a 
        country that is a state-sponsor of terrorism.
