<DELETED>    A District of Columbia health care liability action may

the alleged injury occurred.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 203. TREATMENT OF NONECONOMIC DAMAGES.</DELETED>

of noneconomic damages that may be awarded to a claimant for losses

<DELETED>    (b) Joint and Several Liability.--In any District of

<DELETED>    (a) In General.--Punitive damages may, to the extent 
permitted by applicable District of Columbia law, be awarded in any 
District of Columbia health care liability action if the claimant

                commencing when the Government moved from Philadelphia 
                to the Federal City;
                    (B) the framers of the Constitution provided for 
                the establishment of a special district to serve as 
                ``the seat of Government of the United States'';
                    (C) the site for the city was selected under the 
                direction of President George Washington, with 
                construction initiated in 1791;
                    (D) in submitting his design to Congress, Major 
                Pierre Charles L'Enfant included numerous parks, 
                fountains, and sweeping avenues designed to reflect a 
                vision as grand and as ambitious as the American 
                experience itself;

                George Washington to commemorate and celebrate his 
                triumph in building the Nation;
                    (F) as the seat of Government of the United States 
                for almost 200 years, the Nation's capital has been a 
                center of American culture and a world symbol of 
                freedom and democracy;
                    (G) from Washington, D.C., President Abraham 
                Lincoln labored to preserve the Union and the Reverend 
                Martin Luther King, Jr. led an historic march that 
                energized the civil rights movement, reminding America 
                of its promise of liberty and justice for all; and
                    (H) the Government of the United States must 
                continually work to ensure that the Nation's capital is 
                and remains the shining city on the hill.

                year 2000 as a day of national celebration for the

        of the District of Columbia, to ensure the success of events

of the entity.

        General shall authorize such employment.
    (d) Adjustment of Status for Spouses and Children.--

                physically present in the United States on the date the 
                application is filed;

                immigrant visa and is otherwise admissible to the 
                United States for permanent residence, except in 
                determining such admissibility the grounds for 
                exclusion specified in paragraphs (4), (5), (6)(A), and 
                (7)(A) of section 212(a) of the Immigration and 
                Nationality Act shall not apply; and
                    (E) applies for such adjustment before April 1,

        establishing the period of continuous physical presence 
        referred to in paragraph (1)(B), an alien--

                not later than December 1, 1995, in a manner consistent 
                with subsection (b)(2); and
                    (B) shall not be considered to have failed to 
                maintain continuous physical presence by reason of an 
                absence, or absences, from the United States for any 
                period in the aggregate not exceeding 180 days.

        of the Immigration and Nationality Act; or
            (2) aliens subject to removal proceedings under section 240 
        of such Act.
    (f) Limitation on Judicial Review.--A determination by the Attorney 
General as to whether the status of any alien should be adjusted under 
this section is final and shall not be subject to review by any court.
    (g) No Offset in Number of Visas Available.--When an alien is 
granted the status of having been lawfully admitted for permanent 
residence pursuant to this section, the Secretary of State shall not be 
required to reduce the number of immigrant visas authorized to be 
issued under any provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
    (h) Application of Immigration and Nationality Act Provisions.--
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this section, the 
definitions contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act shall 
apply in the administration of this section. Nothing contained in this 
section shall be held to repeal, amend, alter, modify, affect, or 
restrict the powers, duties, functions, or authority of the Attorney 
General in the administration and enforcement of such Act or any other 
law relating to immigration, nationality, or naturalization. The fact 
that an alien may be eligible to be granted the status of having been 
lawfully admitted for permanent residence under this section shall not 
preclude the alien from seeking such status under any other provision 
of law for which the alien may be eligible.

            (C)(i) The Secretary of Defense shall specify categories of 
        conduct punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice 
        which encompass a range of conduct comparable to that described

        and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 14071(a)(3)(A) and

        that is making good faith efforts to implement these 
        amendments.

        `sampling' in carrying out the provisions of this title.'';
            (5) the decennial enumeration of the population is one of 
        the most critical constitutional functions our Federal 
        Government performs;
            (6) it is essential that the decennial enumeration of the 
        population be as accurate as possible, consistent with the 
        Constitution and laws of the United States;
            (7) the use of statistical sampling or statistical 
        adjustment in conjunction with an actual enumeration to carry 
        out the census with respect to any segment of the population 
        poses the risk of an inaccurate, invalid, and unconstitutional 
        census;
            (8) the decennial enumeration of the population is a 
        complex and vast undertaking, and if such enumeration is 
        conducted in a manner that does not comply with the 
        requirements of the Constitution or laws of the United States, 
        it would be impracticable for the States to obtain, and the 
        courts of the United States to provide, meaningful relief after 
        such enumeration has been conducted; and
            (9) Congress is committed to providing the level of funding 
        that is required to perform the entire range of constitutional 
        census activities, with a particular emphasis on accurately 
        enumerating all individuals who have historically been 
        undercounted, and toward this end, Congress expects--
                    (A) aggressive and innovative promotion and 
                outreach campaigns in hard-to-count communities;
                    (B) the hiring of enumerators from within those 
                communities;
                    (C) continued cooperation with local government on 
                address list development; and
                    (D) maximized census employment opportunities for 
                individuals seeking to make the transition from welfare 
                to work.
    (b) Any person aggrieved by the use of any statistical method in 
violation of the Constitution or any provision of law (other than this 
Act), in connection with the 2000 or any later decennial census, to 
determine the population for purposes of the apportionment or 
redistricting of members in Congress, may in a civil action obtain 
declaratory, injunctive, and any other appropriate relief against the 
use of such method.
    (c) For purposes of this section--
            (1) the use of any statistical method as part of a dress 
        rehearsal or other simulation of a census in preparation for 
        the use of such method, in a decennial census, to determine the 
        population for purposes of the apportionment or redistricting 
        of members in Congress shall be considered the use of such 
        method in connection with that census; and
            (2) the report ordered by title VIII of Public Law 105-18 
        and the Census 2000 Operational Plan shall be deemed to 
        constitute final agency action regarding the use of statistical 
        methods in the 2000 decennial census, thus making the question 
        of their use in such census sufficiently concrete and final to 
        now be reviewable in a judicial proceeding.
    (d) For purposes of this section, an aggrieved person (described in 
subsection (b)) includes--
            (1) any resident of a State whose congressional 
        representation or district could be changed as a result of the 
        use of a statistical method challenged in the civil action;
            (2) any Representative or Senator in Congress; and
            (3) either House of Congress.
    (e)(1) Any action brought under this section shall be heard and 
determined by a district court of three judges in accordance with 
section 2284 of title 28, United States Code. The chief judge of the 
United States court of appeals for each circuit shall, to the extent 
practicable and consistent with the avoidance of unnecessary delay, 
consolidate, for all purposes, in one district court within that 
circuit, all actions pending in that circuit under this section. Any 
party to an action under this section shall be precluded from seeking 
any consolidation of that action other than is provided in this 
paragraph. In selecting the district court in which to consolidate such 
actions, the chief judge shall consider the convenience of the parties 
and witnesses and efficient conduct of such actions. Any final order or 
injunction of a United States district court that is issued pursuant to 
an action brought under this section shall be reviewable by appeal 
directly to the Supreme Court of the United States. Any such appeal 
shall be taken by a notice of appeal filed within 10 days after such 
order is entered; and the jurisdictional statement shall be filed 
within 30 days after such order is entered. No stay of an order issued 
pursuant to an action brought under this section may be issued by a 
single Justice of the Supreme Court.
    (2) It shall be the duty of a United States district court hearing 
an action brought under this section and the Supreme Court of the 
United States to advance on the docket and to expedite to the greatest 
possible extent the disposition of any such matter.
    (f) Any agency or entity within the executive branch having 
authority with respect to the carrying out of a decennial census may in 
a civil action obtain a declaratory judgment respecting whether or not 
the use of a statistical method, in connection with such census, to 
determine the population for the purposes of the apportionment or 
redistricting of members in Congress is forbidden by the Constitution 
and laws of the United States.
    (g) The Speaker of the House of Representatives or the Speaker's 
designee or designees may commence or join in a civil action, for and 
on behalf of the House of Representatives, under any applicable law, to 
prevent the use of any statistical method, in connection with the 
decennial census, to determine the population for purposes of the 
apportionment or redistricting of members in Congress. It shall be the 
duty of the Office of the General Counsel of the House of 
Representatives to represent the House in such civil action, according 
to the directions of the Speaker. The Office of the General Counsel of 
the House of Representatives may employ the services of outside counsel 
and other experts for this purpose.
    (h) For purposes of this section and section 210--
            (1) the term ``statistical method'' means an activity 
        related to the design, planning, testing, or implementation of 
        the use of representative sampling, or any other statistical 
        procedure, including statistical adjustment, to add or subtract 
        counts to or from the enumeration of the population as a result 
        of statistical inference; and
            (2) the term ``census'' or ``decennial census'' means a 
        decennial enumeration of the population.
    (i) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize the use of 
any statistical method, in connection with a decennial census, for the 
apportionment or redistricting of members in Congress.
    (j) Sufficient funds appropriated under this Act or under any other 
Act for purposes of the 2000 decennial census shall be used by the 
Bureau of the Census to plan, test, and become prepared to implement a 
2000 decennial census, without using statistical methods, which shall 
result in the percentage of the total population actually enumerated 
being as close to 100 percent as possible. In both the 2000 decennial 
census, and any dress rehearsal or other simulation made in preparation 
for the 2000 decennial census, the number of persons enumerated without 
using statistical methods must be publicly available for all levels of 
census geography which are being released by the Bureau of the Census 
for (1) all data releases before January 1, 2001, (2) the data 
contained in the 2000 decennial census Public Law 94-171 data file 
released for use in redistricting, (3) the Summary Tabulation File One 
(STF-1) for the 2000 decennial census, and (4) the official populations 
of the States transmitted from the Secretary of Commerce through the 
President to the Clerk of the House used to reapportion the districts 
of the House among the States as a result of the 2000 decennial census. 
Simultaneously with any other release or reporting of any of the 
information described in the preceding sentence through other means, 
such information shall be made available to the public on the Internet. 
These files of the Bureau of the Census shall be available concurrently 
to the release of the original files to the same recipients, on 
identical media, and at a comparable price. They shall contain the 
number of persons enumerated without using statistical methods and any 
additions or subtractions thereto. These files shall be based on data 
gathered and generated by the Bureau of the Census in its official 
capacity.
    (k) This section shall apply in fiscal year 1998 and succeeding 
fiscal years.

Department of Commerce, be subject to such provisions.
    (5) Upon the request of the Board, the head of any Federal agency

Congress of appropriate jurisdiction upon request of the chairman or 
ranking minority member of such committee or subcommittee. No such

    (4) The Board shall study and submit to Congress, as part of its

              economic support fund assistance for israel

    Sec. 517. The Congress finds that progress on the peace process in 
the Middle East is vitally important to United States security 
interests in the region. The Congress recognizes that, in fulfilling 
its obligations under the Treaty of Peace Between the Arab Republic of 
Egypt and the State of Israel, done at Washington on March 26, 1979, 
Israel incurred severe economic burdens. Furthermore, the Congress 
recognizes that an economically and militarily secure Israel serves the 
security interests of the United States, for a secure Israel is an 
Israel which has the incentive and confidence to continue pursuing the 
peace process. Therefore, the Congress declares that, subject to the 
availability of appropriations, it is the policy and the intention of 
the United States that the funds provided in annual appropriations for 
the Economic Support Fund which are allocated to Israel shall not be 
less than the annual debt repayment (interest and principal) from 
Israel to the United States Government in recognition that such a 
principle serves United States interests in the region.

motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions. None of the funds 
made available to carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
1961, as amended, may be used to pay for the performance of involuntary 
sterilization as a method of family planning or to coerce or provide 
any financial incentive to any person to undergo sterilizations. None 
of the funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to pay for any 
biomedical research which relates in whole or in part, to methods of, 
or the performance of, abortions or involuntary sterilization as a 
means of family planning. None of the funds made available to carry out 
part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be 
obligated or expended for any country or organization if the President 
certifies that the use of these funds by any such country or 
organization would violate any of the above provisions related to 
abortions and involuntary sterilizations: Provided, That none of the 
funds made available under this Act may be used to lobby for or against 
abortion.

                         reporting requirement

        committees'';
            (2) in subsection (b), by striking ``the Committee on 
        Foreign Relations of the Senate or the Committee on Foreign 
        Affairs of the House of Representatives'' and inserting in lieu 
        thereof ``any of the congressional committees described in 
        subsection (e)''; and
            (3) by adding the following subsection:

committees' means the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee 
on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on International 
Relations and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of 
Representatives.''.

    Sec. 520. None of the funds appropriated in this Act shall be 
obligated or expended for Colombia, Haiti, Liberia, Pakistan, Panama, 
Peru, Serbia, Sudan, or the Democratic Republic of Congo except as

on Appropriations.

    Sec. 521. For the purpose of this Act, ``program, project, and 
activity'' shall be defined at the Appropriations Act account level and

ceilings, and limitations with the exception that for the following 
accounts: Economic Support Fund and Foreign Military Financing Program,

 u.s. policy regarding support for countries of the south caucasus and 
                              central asia

    Sec. 578. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The ancient Silk Road, once the economic lifeline of 
        Central Asia and the South Caucasus, traversed much of the 
        territory now within the countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, 
        Georgia, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and 
        Uzbekistan.
            (2) Economic interdependence spurred mutual cooperation 
        among the peoples along the Silk Road and restoration of the 
        historic relationships and economic ties between those peoples 
        is an important element of ensuring their sovereignty as well 
        as the success of democratic and market reforms.
            (3) The development of strong political and economic ties 
        between countries of the South Caucasus and Central Asia and 
        the West will foster stability in the region.
            (4) The development of open market economies and open 
        democratic systems in the countries of the South Caucasus and 
        Central Asia will provide positive incentives for international 
        private investment, increased trade, and other forms of 
        commercial interactions with the rest of the world.
            (5) The Caspian Sea Basin, overlapping the territory of the 
        countries of the South Caucasus and Central Asia, contains 
        proven oil and gas reserves that may exceed $4,000,000,000,000 
        in value.
            (6) The region of the South Caucasus and Central Asia will 
        produce oil and gas in sufficient quantities to reduce the 
        dependence of the United States on energy from the volatile 
        Persian Gulf region.
            (7) United States foreign policy and international 
        assistance should be narrowly targeted to support the economic 
        and political independence of the countries of the South 
        Caucasus and Central Asia.
    (b) General.--The policy of the United States in the countries of 
the South Caucasus and Central Asia should be--
            (1) to promote sovereignty and independence with democratic 
        government;
            (2) to assist actively in the resolution of regional 
        conflicts;
            (3) to promote friendly relations and economic cooperation;
            (4) to help promote market-oriented principles and 
        practices;
            (5) to assist in the development of infrastructure 
        necessary for communications, transportation, and energy and 
        trade on an East-West axis in order to build strong 
        international relations and commerce between those countries 
        and the stable, democratic, and market-oriented countries of 
        the Euro-Atlantic Community; and
            (6) to support United States business interests and 
        investments in the region.
    (c) Definition.--In this section, the term ``countries of the South 
Caucasus and Central Asia'' means Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia,

               TITLE XXVII--EUROPEAN SECURITY ACT OF 1997

SEC. 2701. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``European Security Act of 1997''.

SEC. 2702. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    (a) Policy With Respect to NATO Enlargement.--Congress urges the 
President to outline a clear and complete strategic rationale for the 
enlargement of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and 
declares that--
            (1) Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic should not be 
        the last emerging democracies in Central and Eastern Europe 
        invited to join NATO;
            (2) the United States should ensure that NATO continues a 
        process whereby all other emerging democracies in Central and 
        Eastern Europe that wish to join NATO will be considered for 
        membership in NATO as soon as they meet the criteria for such 
        membership;
            (3) the United States should ensure that no limitations are 
        placed on the numbers of NATO troops or types of equipment, 
        including tactical nuclear weapons, to be deployed on the 
        territory of new member states;
            (4) the United States should reject all efforts to 
        condition NATO decisions on review or approval by the United 
        Nations Security Council;
            (5) the United States should clearly delineate those NATO 
        deliberations, including but not limited to discussions on arms 
        control, further Alliance enlargement, procurement matters, and 
        strategic doctrine, that are not subject to review or 
        discussion in the NATO-Russia Permanent Joint Council;
            (6) the United States should work to ensure that countries 
        invited to join the Alliance are provided an immediate seat in 
        NATO discussions; and
            (7) the United States already pays more than a 
        proportionate share of the costs of the common defense of 
        Europe and should obtain, in advance, agreement on an equitable 
        distribution of the cost of NATO enlargement to ensure that the 
        United States does not continue to bear a disproportionate 
        burden.
    (b) Policy With Respect to Negotiations With Russia.--
            (1) Implementation.--NATO enlargement should be carried out 
        in such a manner as to underscore the Alliance's defensive 
        nature and demonstrate to Russia that NATO enlargement will 
        enhance the security of all countries in Europe, including 
        Russia. Accordingly, the United States and its NATO allies 
        should make this intention clear in negotiations with Russia, 
        including negotiations regarding adaptation of the Conventional 
        Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty of November 19, 1990.
            (2) Limitations on commitments to russia.--In seeking to 
        demonstrate to Russia NATO's defensive and security-enhancing 
        intentions, it is essential that neither fundamental United 
        States security interests in Europe nor the effectiveness and 
        flexibility of NATO as a defensive alliance be jeopardized. In 
        particular, no commitments should be made to Russia that would 
        have the effect of--
                    (A) extending rights or imposing responsibilities 
                on new NATO members different from those applicable to 
                current NATO members, including rights or 
                responsibilities with respect to the deployment of 
                nuclear weapons and the stationing of troops and 
                equipment from other NATO members;
                    (B) limiting the ability of NATO to defend the 
                territory of new NATO members by, for example, 
                restricting the construction of defense infrastructure 
                or limiting the ability of NATO to deploy necessary 
                reinforcements;
                    (C) providing any international organization, or 
                any country that is not a member of NATO, with 
                authority to delay, veto, or otherwise impede 
                deliberations and decisions of the North Atlantic 
                Council or the implementation of such decisions, 
                including deliberations and decisions with respect to 
                the deployment of NATO forces or the admission of 
                additional members to NATO;
                    (D) impeding the development of enhanced relations 
                between NATO and other European countries that do not 
                belong to the Alliance;
                    (E) establishing a nuclear weapons-free zone in 
                Central or Eastern Europe;
                    (F) requiring NATO to subsidize Russian arms sales, 
                service, or support to the militaries of those former 
                Warsaw Pact countries invited to join the Alliance; or
                    (G) legitimizing Russian efforts to link 
                concessions in arms control negotiations to NATO 
                enlargement.
            (3) Commitments from russia.--In order to enhance security 
        and stability in Europe, the United States should seek 
        commitments from Russia--
                    (A) to demarcate and respect all its borders with 
                neighboring states;
                    (B) to achieve the immediate and complete 
                withdrawal of any armed forces and military equipment 
                under the control of Russia that are deployed on the 
                territories of the independent states of the former 
                Soviet Union without the full and complete agreement of 
                those states;
                    (C) to station its armed forces on the territory of 
                other states only with the full and complete agreement 
                of that state and in strict accordance with 
                international law; and
                    (D) to take steps to reduce further its nuclear and 
                conventional forces in Kaliningrad.
            (4) Consultations.--As negotiations on adaptation of the 
        Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe proceed, the 
        United States should engage in close and continuous 
        consultations not only with its NATO allies, but also with the 
        emerging democracies of Central and Eastern Europe, Ukraine, 
        and the South Caucasus.
    (c) Policy With Respect to Ballistic Missile Defense Cooperation.--
            (1) In general.--As the United States proceeds with efforts 
        to develop defenses against ballistic missile attack, it should 
        seek to foster a climate of cooperation with Russia on matters 
        related to missile defense. In particular, the United States 
        and its NATO allies should seek to cooperate with Russia in 
        such areas as early warning.
            (2) Discussions with nato allies.--The United States should

        operational control which would be paid for by assessment of 
        United Nations members;

        Nations Charter and paid for by assessment of United Nations 
        members (such as the United Nations Transitional Authority in

        operations under United Nations operational control which would 
        be paid for by assessment of United Nations members; and
