                               RESOLUTION


 
    To express the sense of the Senate concerning Pakistan and the 
               impending visit of Prime Minister Bhutto.

Whereas Pakistan and the United States have been allies since 1947, and 
        throughout the difficult days of the Cold War;
Whereas Pakistan was a front-line state against Soviet totalitarian expansionism 
        and worked with the United States to successfully end the Soviet 
        occupation of Afghanistan;
Whereas Pakistan has been in the forefront of United Nations peacekeeping 
        operations, recently being the largest contributor of forces to United 
        Nations peacekeeping operations;
Whereas Pakistan has cooperated with the United States in the apprehension and 
        swift extradition of Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, the alleged mastermind of the 
        terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City;
Whereas Pakistan's economy is being increasingly liberalized and opened to 
        outside investors and businesses;
Whereas there are increasing opportunities for economic cooperation between 
        Pakistan and the United States as a result of private sector agreements 
        for investment in Pakistan's energy sector and other pending agreements; 
        and
Whereas Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who has worked to strengthen Pakistan's 
        close relationship with the United States, was reelected to office in 
        October, 1993, and is scheduled to visit the United States on an 
        official visit in April: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the United States Senate--
            (1) welcomes the visit of Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto to 
        the United States as a sign of the warm, enduring friendship 
        between the United States and Pakistan; and
            (2) pledges to work with the Government of Pakistan to 
        strengthen the United States-Pakistan relationship in the years 
        ahead.
                                 <all>
