    Sec. 8144. (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) child experts estimate that as many as 250,000 children 
        under the age of 18 are currently serving in armed forces or 
        armed groups in more than 30 countries around the world;
            (2) contemporary armed conflict has caused the deaths of 
        2,000,000 minors in the last decade alone, and has left an 
        estimated 6,000,000 children seriously injured or permanently 
        disabled;
            (3) children are uniquely vulnerable to military 
        recruitment because of their emotional and physical immaturity, 
        are easily manipulated, and can be drawn into violence that 
        they are too young to resist or understand;
            (4) children are most likely to become child soldiers if 
        they are poor, separated from their families, displaced from 
        their homes, living in a combat zone, or have limited access to 
        education;
            (5) orphans and refugees are particularly vulnerable to 
        recruitment;
            (6) one of the most egregious examples of the use of child 
        soldiers is the abduction of some 10,000 children, some as 
        young as 8 years of age, by the Lord's Resistance Army (in this 
        section referred to as the ``LRA'') in northern Uganda;
            (7) the Department of State's Country Reports on Human 
        Rights Practices for 1997 reports that in Uganda the LRA kills, 
        maims, and rapes large numbers of civilians, and forces 
        abducted children into ``virtual slavery as guards, concubines, 
        and soldiers'';
            (8) children abducted by the LRA are forced to raid and 
        loot villages, fight in the front line of battle against the 
        Ugandan army and the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), 
        serve as sexual slaves to rebel commanders, and participate in 
        the killing of other children who try to escape;
            (9) former LRA child captives report witnessing Sudanese 
        government soldiers delivering food supplies, vehicles, 
        ammunition, and arms to LRA base camps in government-controlled 
        southern Sudan;
            (10) children who manage to escape from LRA captivity have 
        little access to trauma care and rehabilitation programs, and 
        many find their families displaced, unlocatable, dead, or 
        fearful of having their children return home;
            (11) Graca Machel, the former United Nations expert on the 
        impact of armed conflict on children, identified the immediate 
        demobilization of all child soldiers as an urgent priority, and 
        recommended the establishment through an optional protocol to 
        the Convention on the Rights of the Child of 18 as the minimum 
        age for recruitment and participation in armed forces; and
            (12) the International Committee of the Red Cross, the 
        United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations 
        High Commission on Refugees, and the United Nations High 
        Commissioner on Human Rights, as well as many nongovernmental 
        organizations, also support the establishment of 18 as the 
        minimum age for military recruitment and participation in armed 
        conflict.
    (b) In General.--The Senate hereby--
            (1) deplores the global use of child soldiers and supports 
        their immediate demobilization;
            (2) condemns the abduction of Ugandan children by the LRA;
            (3) calls on the Government of Sudan to use its influence 
        with the LRA to secure the release of abducted children and to 
        halt further abductions; and
            (4) encourages the United States delegation not to block 
        the drafting of an optional protocol to the Convention on the 
        Rights of the Child that would establish 18 as the minimum age 
        for participation in armed conflict.
    (c) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
President and the Secretary of State should--
            (1) support efforts to end the abduction of children by the 
        LRA, secure their release, and facilitate their rehabilitation 
        and reintegration into society;
            (2) not block efforts to establish 18 as the minimum age 
        for participation in conflict through an optional protocol to 
        the Convention on the Rights of the Child; and
            (3) provide greater support to United Nations agencies and 
        nongovernmental organizations working for the rehabilitation 
        and reintegration of former child soldiers into society.
    Sec. 8145. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
Secretary of Defense shall obligate the funds provided for

    ``(b) in this section, the term `State' includes a territory or 
possession of the United States, a political subdivision of a State, 
territory, or possession, and the District of Columbia.''.
    (b) State Responsibility to Guarantee Military Voting Rights.--(1) 
Registration and balloting.--Section 102 of the Uniformed and Overseas 
Absentee Voting Act (42 U.S.C. 1973ff-1) is amended--
            (A) by inserting ``(a) Elections for Federal Offices.--'' 
        before ``Each State shall--''; and
            (B) by adding at the end the following:
    ``(b) Elections for State and Local Offices.--Each State shall--
            ``(1) permit absent uniformed services voters to use 
        absentee registration procedures and to vote by absentee ballot 
        in general, special, primary, and run-off elections for State 
        and local offices; and
            ``(2) accept and process, with respect to any election 
        described in paragraph (1), any otherwise valid voter 
        registration application from an absent uniformed services 
        voter if the application is received by the appropriate State

policies, practices, and experience of the uniformed services 
pertaining to the furnishing of dental care to dependents of members of 
the uniformed services on active duty who are 18 years of age and 
younger.
    (b) The report shall include (1) the rates of usage of various 
types of dental services under the health care system of the uniformed 
services by the dependents, set forth in categories defined by the age 
and the gender of the dependents and by the rank of the members of the 
uniformed services who are the sponsors for those dependents, (2) an 
assessment of the feasibility of providing the dependents with dental 
benefits (including initial dental visits for children) that conform 
with the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry 
regarding infant oral health care, and (3) an evaluation of the 
feasibility and potential effects of offering general anesthesia as a 
dental health care benefit available under TRICARE to the dependents.
    Sec. 8152. (a) Of the total amount appropriated for the Army, the 
Army Reserve, and the Army National Guard under title I, $1,700,000 may 
be available for taking the actions required under this section to 
eliminate the backlog of unpaid retired pay and to submit a report.
    (b) The Secretary of the Army may take such actions as are 
necessary to eliminate, by December 31, 1998, the backlog of unpaid 
retired pay for members and former members of the Army (including 
members and former members of the Army Reserve and the Army National 
Guard).
    (c) Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary of the Army shall submit to Congress a report on the 
backlog of unpaid retired pay. The report shall include the following:
            (1) The actions taken under subsection (b).
            (2) The extent of the remaining backlog.
            (3) A discussion of any additional actions that are 
        necessary to ensure that retired pay is paid in a timely 
        manner.
    Sec. 8153. (a) The Secretary of Defense may take such actions as 
are necessary to ensure the elimination of the backlog of incomplete 
actions on requests of former members of the Armed Forces for 
replacement medals and replacements for other decorations that such 
personnel have earned in the military service of the United States.
    (b)(1) The actions taken under subsection (a) may include, except 
as provided in paragraph (2), allocations of additional resources to 
improve relevant staffing levels at the Army Reserve Personnel Command, 
the Bureau of Naval Personnel, and the Air Force Personnel Center, 
allocations of Department of Defense resources to the National Archives 
and Records Administration, and any additional allocations of resources 
that the Secretary considers necessary to carry out subsection (a).
    (2) An allocation of resources may be made under paragraph (1) only 
if and to the extent that the allocation does not detract from the 
performance of other personnel service and personnel support activities 
within the Department of Defense.
    Sec. 8154. Beginning no later than 60 days after enactment, 
effective tobacco cessation products and counseling may be provided for 
members of the Armed Forces (including retired members), former members 
of the Armed Forces entitled to retired or retainer pay, and dependents 
of such members and former members, who are identified as likely to 
benefit from such assistance in a manner that does not impose costs 
upon the individual.
    Sec. 8155. (a) Of the amounts appropriated by title II of this Act 
under the heading ``Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps'', 
$5,000,000 may be available for procurement of lightweight maintenance 
enclosures (LME).
    (b) Of the amounts appropriated by title III of this Act under the 
heading ``Other Procurement, Army'', $2,000,000 may be available for

coverage at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba, for procurement of 2 
Schweizer observation/spray aircraft, and for upgrades for 3 UH-IH 
helicopters for Colombia.
    Sec. 8157. (a) The Secretary of Defense shall study the policies, 
procedures, and practices of the military departments for protecting 
the confidentiality of communications between--
            (1) a dependent of a member of the Armed Forces who--
                    (A) is a victim of sexual harassment, sexual 
                assault, or intrafamily abuse; or
                    (B) has engaged in such misconduct; and
            (2) a therapist, counselor, advocate, or other professional 
        from whom the victim seeks professional services in connection 
        with effects of such misconduct.
    (b)(1) The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe in regulations the 
policies and procedures that the Secretary considers necessary to 
provide the maximum possible protections for the confidentiality of 
communications described in subsection (a) relating to misconduct 
described in that subsection.
    (2) The regulations shall provide the following:
            (A) Complete confidentiality of the records of the 
        communications of dependents of members of the Armed Forces.
            (B) Characterization of the records under family advocacy 
        programs of the Department of Defense as primary medical 
        records for purposes of the protections from disclosure that 
        are associated with primary medical records.
            (C) Facilitated transfer of records under family advocacy 
        programs in conjunction with changes of duty stations of 
        persons to whom the records relate in order to provide for 
        continuity in the furnishing of professional services.
            (D) Adoption of standards of confidentiality and ethical 
        standards that are consistent with standards issued by relevant 
        professional associations.
    (3) In prescribing the regulations, the Secretary shall consider 
the following:
            (A) Any risk that the goals of advocacy and counseling 
        programs for helping victims recover from adverse effects of 
        misconduct will not be attained if there is no assurance that 
        the records of the communications (including records of 
        counseling sessions) will be kept confidential.
            (B) The extent, if any, to which a victim's safety and 
        privacy should be factors in determinations regarding--
                    (i) disclosure of the victim's identity to the 
                public or the chain of command of a member of the Armed 
                Forces alleged to have engaged in the misconduct toward 
                the victim; or
                    (ii) any other action that facilitates such a 
                disclosure without the consent of the victim.
            (C) The eligibility for care and treatment in medical 
        facilities of the uniformed services for any person having a 
        uniformed services identification card (including a card 
        indicating the status of a person as a dependent of a member of 
        the uniformed services) that is valid for that person.
            (D) The appropriateness of requiring that so-called Privacy 
        Act statements be presented as a condition for proceeding with 
        the furnishing of treatment or other services by professionals 
        referred to in subsection (a).
            (E) The appropriateness of adopting the same standards of 
        confidentiality and ethical standards that have been issued by 
        such professional associations as the American Psychiatric 
        Association and the National Association of Social Workers.
    (4) The regulations may not prohibit the disclosure of information 
to a Federal or State agency for a law enforcement or other 
governmental purpose.
    (c) The Secretary of Defense shall consult with the Attorney 
General in carrying out this section.
    (d) Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report on the 
actions taken under this section. The report shall include a discussion 
of the results of the study under subsection (a) and the comprehensive 
discussion of the regulations prescribed under subsection (b).
    Sec. 8158. (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) on the third of February a United States Marine Corps 
        jet aircraft, flying a low-level training mission out of 
        Aviano, Italy, flew below its prescribed altitude and severed 
        the cables supporting a gondola at the Italian ski resort near 
        Cavalese, resulting in the death of twenty civilians;
            (2) the crew of the aircraft, facing criminal charges, is 
        entitled to a speedy trial and is being provided that and all 
        the other protections and advantages of the United States 
        system of justice;
            (3) the United States, to maintain its credibility and 
        honor amongst its allies and all nations of the world, should 
        make prompt reparations for an accident clearly caused by a 
        United States military aircraft;
            (4) a high-level delegation, including the United States 
        Ambassador to Italy, recently visited Cavalese and, as a 
        result, $20,000,000 was promised to the people in Cavalese for 
        their property damage and business losses;
            (5) without our prompt action, these families continue to 
        suffer financial agonies, our credibility in the European 
        community continues to suffer, and our own citizens remain 
        puzzled and angered by our lack of accountability;
            (6) under the current arrangement we have with Italy in the 
        context of our Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), civil claims 
        arising from the accident at Cavalese must be brought against 
        the Government of Italy, in accordance with the laws and 
        regulations of Italy, as if the armed forces of Italy had been 
        responsible for the accident;
            (7) under Italian law, every claimant for property damage, 
        personal injury or wrongful death must file initially an 
        administrative claim for damages with the Ministry of Defense 
        in Rome which is expected to take 12-18 months, and, if the 
        Ministry's offer in settlement is not acceptable, which it is 
        not likely to be, the claimant must thereafter resort to the 
        Italian court system, where civil cases for wrongful death are 
        reported to take up to ten years to resolve;
            (8) while under the SOFA process, the United States--as the 
        ``sending state''--will be responsible for 75 percent of any 
        damages awarded, and the Government of Italy--as the 
        ``receiving state''--will be responsible for 25 percent, the 
        United States has agreed to pay all damages awarded in this 
        case.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
United States should resolve the claims of the victims of the February 
8, 1998 United States Marine Corps aircraft incident in Cavalese, Italy 
as quickly and fairly as possible.
    Sec. 8159. Training and Other Programs. (a) Prohibition.--None of 
the funds made available by this Act may be used to support any 
training program involving a unit of the security forces of a foreign 
country if the Secretary of Defense has received credible information 
from the Department of State that a member of such unit has committed a 
gross violation of human rights, unless all necessary corrective steps 
have been taken.
    (b) Monitoring.--Not more than 90 days after enactment of this Act, 
the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State, 
shall establish procedures to ensure that prior to a decision to 
conduct any training program referred to in subsection (a), full 
consideration is given to all information available to the Department 
of State relating to human rights violations by foreign security 
forces.
    (c) Waiver.--The Secretary of Defense, after consultation with the 
Secretary of State, may waive the prohibition in subsection (a) if he 
determines that such waiver is required by extraordinary circumstances.
    (d) Report.--Not more than 15 days after the exercise of any waiver 
under subsection (c), the Secretary of Defense shall submit a report to 
the congressional defense committees describing the extraordinary 
circumstances, the purpose and duration of the training program, the 
United States forces and the foreign security forces involved in the 
training program, and the information relating to human rights 
violations that necessitates the waiver.
    Sec. 8160. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Since 1989--
                    (A) the national defense budget has been cut in 
                half as a percentage of the gross domestic product;
                    (B) the national defense budget has been cut by 
                over $120,000,000,000 in real terms;
                    (C) the United States military force structure has 
                been reduced by more than 30 percent;
                    (D) the Department of Defense's operations and 
                maintenance accounts have been reduced by 40 percent;
                    (E) the Department of Defense's procurement funding 
                has declined by more than 50 percent;
                    (F) United States military operational commitments 
                have increased fourfold;
                    (G) the Army has reduced its ranks by over 630,000 
                soldiers and civilians, closed over 700 installations 
                at home and overseas, and cut 10 divisions from its 
                force structure;
                    (H) the Army has reduced its presence in Europe 
                from 215,000 to 65,000 personnel;
                    (I) the Army has averaged 14 deployments ever four 
                years, increased significantly from the Cold War trend 
                of one deployment ever four years;
                    (J) the Air Force has downsized by nearly 40 
                percent, while experiencing a fourfold increase in 
                operational commitments.
            (2) In 1992, 37 percent of the Navy's fleet was deployed at 
        any given time. Today that number is 57 percent; at its present 
        rate, it will climb to 62 percent by 2005.
            (3) The Navy Surface Warfare Officer community will fall 
        short of its needs of a 40 percent increase in retention to 
        meet requirements.
            (4) The Air Force is 18 percent short of its retention goal 
        for second-term airmen.
            (5) The Air Force is more than 800 pilots short, and more 
        than 70 percent eligible for retention bonuses have turned them 
        down in favor of separation.
            (6) The Army faces critical personnel shortages in combat 
        units, forcing unit commanders to borrow troops from other 
        units just to participate in training exercises.
            (7) An Air Force F-16 squadron commander testified before 
        the House National Security Committee that his unit was forced 
        to borrow three aircraft and use cannibalized parts from four 
        other F-16's in order to deploy to Southwest Asia.
            (8) In 1997, the Army averaged 31,000 soldiers deployed 
        away from their home station in support of military operations 
        in 70 countries with the average deployment lasting 125 days.
            (9) Critical shortfalls in meeting recruiting and retention 
        goals is seriously affecting the ability of the Army to train 
        and deploy. The Army reduced its recruiting goal for 1998 by 
        12,000 personnel.
            (10) In fiscal year 1997, the Army fell short of its 
        recruiting goal for critical infantry soldiers by almost 5,000. 
        As of February 15, 1998, Army-wide shortages existed for 28 
        Army specialties. Many positions in squads and crews are left 
        unfilled or minimally filled because personnel are diverted to 
        work in key positions elsewhere.
            (11) The Navy reports it will fall short of enlisted sailor 
        recruitment for 1998 by 10,000.
            (12) One in ten Air Force front-line units are not combat 
        ready.
            (13) Ten Air Force technical specialties, representing 
        thousands of airmen, deployed away from their home station for 
        longer than the Air Force standard 120-day mark in 1997.
            (14) The Air Force fell short of its reenlistment rate for 
        mid-career enlisted personnel by an average of six percent, 
        with key war fighting career fields experiencing even larger 
        drops in reenlistments.
            (15) In 1997, United States Marines in the operating forces 
        have deployed on more than 200 exercises, rotational 
        deployments, or actual contingencies.
            (16) United States Marine Corps maintenance forces are only 
        able to maintain 92 percent ground equipment and 77 percent 
        aviation equipment readiness rates due to excessive deployments 
        of troops and equipment.
            (17) The National Security Strategy of the United States 
        assumes the ability of the United States Armed Forces to 
        prevail in two major regional conflicts nearly simultaneously.
            (18) To execute the National Security of the United States, 
        the United States Army's five later-deploying divisions, which 
        constitute almost half of the Army's active combat forces, are 
        critical to the success of specific war plans.
            (19) According to commanders in these divisions, the 
        practice of under staffing squads and crews that are 
        responsible for training, and assigning personnel to other 
        units as fillers for exercises and operations, has become 
        common and is degrading unit capability and readiness.
            (20) In the aggregate, the Army's later-deploying divisions 
        were assigned 93 percent of their authorized personnel at the 
        beginning of fiscal year 1998. In one specific case, the 1st 
        Armored Division was staffed at 94 percent in the aggregate; 
        however, its combat support and service support specialties 
        were filled at below 85 percent, and captains and majors were 
        filled at 73 percent.
            (21) At the 10th Infantry Division, only 138 of 162 
        infantry squads were fully or minimally filled, and 36 of the 
        filled squads were unqualified. At the 1st Brigade of the 1st 
        Infantry Division, only 56 percent of the authorized infantry 
        soldiers for its Bradley Fighting Vehicles were assigned, and 
        in the 2nd Brigade, 21 of 48 infantry squads had no personnel 
        assigned.
            (22) At the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Armored Division, only 
        16 of 116 M1A1 tanks had full crews and were qualified, and in 
        one of the Brigade's two armor battalions, 14 of 58 tanks had 
        no crewmembers assigned because the personnel were deployed to 
        Bosnia.
            (23) At the beginning of fiscal year 1998, the five later-
        deploying divisions critical to the execution of the United 
        States National Security Strategy were short nearly 1,900 of 
        the total 25,357 Non-Commissioned Officers authorized, and as 
        of February 15, 1998, this shortage had grown to almost 2,200.
            (24) Rotation of units to Bosnia is having a direct and 
        negative impact on the ability of later-deploying divisions to 
        maintain the training and readiness levels needed to execute 
        their mission in a major regional conflict. Indications of this 
        include:
                    (A) The reassignment by the Commander of the 3rd 
                Brigade Combat Team of 63 soldiers within the brigade 
                to serve in infantry squads of a deploying unit of 800 
                troops, stripping nondeploying infantry and armor units 
                of maintenance personnel, and reassigning Non-
                Commissioned Officers and support personnel to the task 
                force from throughout the brigade.
                    (B) Cancellation of gunnery exercises for at least 
                two armor battalions in later-deploying divisions, 
                causing 43 of 116 tank crews to lose their 
                qualifications on the weapon system.
                    (C) Hiring of outside contract personnel by 1st 
                Armored and 1st Infantry later-deploying divisions to 
                perform routine maintenance.
            (25) National Guard budget shortfalls compromise the 
        Guard's readiness levels, capabilities, force structure, and 
        end strength, putting the Guard's personnel, schools, training, 
        full-time support, retention and recruitment, and morale at 
        risk.
            (26) The President's budget requests for the National Guard 
        have been insufficient, notwithstanding the frequent calls on 
        the Guard to handle wide-ranging tasks, including deployments 
        in Bosnia, Iraq, Haiti, and Somalia.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the readiness of United States military forces to 
        execute the National Security Strategy of the United States is 
        being eroded from a combination of declining defense budgets 
        and expanded missions;
            (2) the ongoing, open-ended commitment of United States 
        forces to the peacekeeping mission in Bosnia is causing 
        assigned and supporting units to compromise their principle 
        wartime assignments;
            (3) defense appropriations are not keeping pace with the 
        expanding needs of the Armed Forces.
    (c) Report Requirement.--Not later than June 1, 1999, the President 
shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
Committee on National Security of the House of Representatives, and to 
the Committees on Appropriations in both Houses, a report on the 
military readiness of the Armed Forces of the United States. The 
President shall include in the report a detailed discussion of the 
competition for resources service-by-service caused by the ongoing 
commitment to the peacekeeping operation in Bosnia, including in those 
units that are supporting but not directly deployed to Bosnia. The 
President shall specifically include in the report the following--
            (1) an assessment of current force structure and its 
        sufficiency to execute the National Security Strategy of the 
        United States;
            (2) an outline of the service-by-service force structure 
        expected to be committed to a major regional contingency as 
        envisioned in the National Security Strategy of the United 
        States;
            (3) a comparison of the force structures outlined in 
        paragraph (2) with the service-by-service order of battle in 
        Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, as a representative and 
        recent major regional conflict;
            (4) the force structure and defense appropriation increases 
        that are necessary to execute the National Security Strategy of 
        the United States assuming current projected ground force 
        levels assigned to the peacekeeping mission in Bosnia are 
        unchanged;
            (5) a discussion of the United States ground force level in 
        Bosnia that can be sustained without impacting the ability of 
        the Armed Forces to execute the National Security Strategy of 
        the United States, assuming no increases in force structure and 
        defense appropriations during the period in which ground forces 
        are assigned to Bosnia.
    Sec. 8161. Sense of the Senate Regarding Payroll Tax Relief. (a) 
Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
            (1) The payroll tax under the Federal Insurance 
        Contributions Act (FICA) is the biggest, most regressive tax 
        paid by working families.
            (2) The payroll tax constitutes a 15.3 percent tax burden 
        on the wages and self-employment income of each American, with 
        12.4 percent of the payroll tax used to pay social security 
        benefits to current beneficiaries and 2.9 percent used to pay 
        the medicare benefits of current beneficiaries.
            (3) The amount of wages and self-employment income subject 
        to the social security portion of the payroll tax is capped at 
        $68,400. Therefore, the lower a family's income, the more they 
        pay in payroll tax as a percentage of income. The Congressional 
        Budget Office has estimated that for those families who pay 
        payroll taxes, 80 percent pay more in payroll taxes than in 
        income taxes.
            (4) In 1996, the median household income was $35,492, and a 
        family earning that amount and taking standard deductions and 
        exemptions paid $2,719 in Federal income tax, but lost $5,430 
        in income to the payroll tax.
            (5) Ownership of wealth is essential for everyone to have a 
        shot at the American dream, but the payroll tax is the 
        principal burden to savings and wealth creation for working 
        families.
            (6) Since 1983, the payroll tax has been higher than 
        necessary to pay current benefits.
            (7) Since most of the payroll tax receipts are deposited in 
        the social security trust funds, which masks the real amount of 
        Government borrowing, those whom the payroll tax hits hardest, 
        working families, have shouldered a disproportionate share of 
        the Federal budget deficit reduction and, therefore, a 
        disproportionate share of the creation of the Federal budget 
        surplus.
            (8) Over the next 10 years, the Federal Government will 
        generate a budget surplus of $1,550,000,000,000, and all but 
        $32,000,000,000 of that surplus will be generated by excess 
        payroll taxes.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) if Congress decides to provide tax relief, reducing the 
        burden of payroll taxes should be a top priority; and
            (2) Congress and the President should work to reduce this 
        payroll tax burden on American families.

         TITLE IX --MONITORING OF HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN CHINA

    Sec. 9001. Short Title. This title may be cited as the ``Political 
Freedom in China Act of 1998''.
    Sec. 9002. Findings. Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Congress concurs in the following conclusions of the 
        United States State Department on human rights in the People's 
        Republic of China in 1996:
                    (A) The People's Republic of China is ``an 
                authoritarian state'' in which ``citizens lack the 
                freedom to peacefully express opposition to the party-
                led political system and the right to change their 
                national leaders or form of government''.
                    (B) The Government of the People's Republic of 
                China has ``continued to commit widespread and well-
                documented human rights abuses, in violation of 
                internationally accepted norms, stemming from the 
                authorities' intolerance of dissent, fear of unrest, 
                and the absence of inadequacy of laws protecting basic 
                freedoms''.
                    (C) ``abuses include torture and mistreatment of 
                prisoners, forced confessions, and arbitrary and 
                incommunicado detention''.
                    (D) ``prison conditions remained harsh and the 
                Government continued severe restrictions on freedom of 
                speech, the press, assembly, association, religion, 
                privacy, and worker rights''.
                    (E) ``although the Government denies that it holds 
                political prisoners, the number of persons detained or 
                serving sentences for `counterrevolutionary crimes' or 
                `crimes against the state', or for peaceful political 
                or religious activities are believed to number in the 
                thousands''.
                    (F) ``nonapproved religious groups, including 
                Protestant and Catholic groups . . . experienced 
                intensified repression''.
                    (G) ``serious human rights abuses persist in 
                minority areas, including Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner 
                Mongolia, and controls on religion and on other 
                fundamental freedoms in these areas have also 
                intensified''.
                    (H) ``overall in 1996, the authorities stepped up 
                efforts to cut off expressions of protest or criticism. 
                All public dissent against the party and government was 
                effectively silenced by intimidation, exile, the 
                imposition of prison terms, administrative detention, 
                or house arrest. No dissidents were known to be active 
                at year's end.''.
            (2) In addition to the State Department, credible 
        independent human rights organizations have documented an 
        increase in repression in China during 1995, and effective 
        destruction of the dissident movement through the arrest and 
        sentencing of the few remaining pro-democracy and human rights 
        activists not already in prison or exile.
            (3) Among those were Li Hai, sentenced to 9 years in prison 
        on December 18, 1996, for gathering information on the victims 
        of the 1989 crackdown, which according to the court's verdict 
        constituted ``state secrets''; Liu Nianchun, an independent 
        labor organizer, sentenced to 3 years of ``re-education through 
        labor'' on July 4, 1996, due to his activities in connection 
        with a petition campaign calling for human rights reforms; and 
        Ngodrup Phuntsog, a Tibetan national, who was arrested in Tibet 
        in 1987 immediately after he returned from a 2-year trip to 
        India, where the Tibetan government in exile is located, and 
        following a secret trial was convicted by the Government of the 
        People's Republic of China of espionage on behalf of the 
        ``Ministry of Security of the Dalai clique''.
            (4) Many political prisoners are suffering from poor 
        conditions and ill-treatment leading to serious medical and 
        health problems, including--
                    (A) Gao Yu, a journalist sentenced to 6 years in 
                prison in November 1994 and honored by UNESCO in May 
                1997, has a heart condition; and
                    (B) Chen Longde, a leading human rights advocate 
                now serving a 3-year re-education through labor 
                sentence imposed without trial in August 1995, has 
                reportedly been subject to repeated beatings and 
                electric shocks at a labor camp for refusing to confess 
                his guilt.
            (5) The People's Republic of China, as a member of the 
        United Nations, is expected to abide by the provisions of the 
        Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
            (6) The People's Republic of China is a party to numerous 
        international human rights conventions, including the 
        Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or 
        Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
    Sec. 9003. Conduct of Foreign Relations. (a) Release of 
Prisoners.--The Secretary of State, in all official meetings with the 
Government of the People's Republic of China, should request the 
immediate and unconditional release of Ngodrup Phuntsog and other 
prisoners of conscience in Tibet, as well as in the People's Republic 
of China.
    (b) Access to Prisons.--The Secretary of State should seek access 
for international humanitarian organizations to Drapchi prison and 
other prisons in Tibet, as well as in the People's Republic of China, 
to ensure that prisoners are not being mistreated and are receiving 
necessary medical treatment.
    (c) Dialogue on Future of Tibet.--The Secretary of State, in all 
official meetings with the Government of the People's Republic of 
China, should call on that country to begin serious discussions with 
the Dalai Lama or his representatives, without preconditions, on the 
future of Tibet.
    Sec. 9004. Authorization of Appropriations for Additional Personnel 
at Diplomatic Posts To Monitor Human Rights in the People's Republic of 
China. There are authorized to be appropriated to support personnel to 
monitor political repression in the People's Republic of China in the 
United States Embassies in Beijing and Kathmandu, as well as the 
American consulates in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenyang, Chengdu, and Hong 
Kong, $2,200,000 for fiscal year 1999 and $2,200,000 for fiscal year 
2000.
    Sec. 9005. Democracy Building in China. (a) Authorization of 
Appropriations for NED.--In addition to such sums as are otherwise 
authorized to be appropriated for the ``National Endowment for 
Democracy'' for fiscal years 1999 and 2000, there are authorized to be 
appropriated for the ``National Endowment for Democracy'' $4,000,000 
for fiscal year 1999 and $4,000,000 for fiscal year 2000, which shall 
be available to promote democracy, civil society, and the development 
of the rule of law in China.
    (b) East Asia-Pacific Regional Democracy Fund.--The Secretary of 
State shall use funds available in the East Asia-Pacific Regional 
Democracy Fund to provide grants to nongovernmental organizations to 
promote democracy, civil society, and the development of the rule of 
law in China.
    Sec. 9006. Human Rights in China. (a) Reports.--Not later than 
March 30, 1999, and each subsequent year thereafter, the Secretary of 
State shall submit to the International Relations Committee of the 
House of Representatives and the Foreign Relations Committee of the 
Senate an annual report on human rights in China, including religious 
persecution, the development of democratic institutions, and the rule 
of law. Reports shall provide information on each region of China.
    (b) Prisoner Information Registry.--The Secretary of State shall 
establish a Prisoner Information Registry for China which shall provide 
information on all political prisoners, prisoners of conscience, and 
prisoners of faith in China. Such information shall include the 
charges, judicial processes, administrative actions, use of forced 
labor, incidences of torture, length of imprisonment, physical and 
health conditions, and other matters related to the incarceration of 
such prisoners in China. The Secretary of State is authorized to make 
funds available to nongovernmental organizations presently engaged in 
monitoring activities regarding Chinese political prisoners to assist 
in the creation and maintenance of the registry.
    Sec. 9007. Sense of Congress Concerning Establishment of a 
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Asia. It is the sense of 
Congress that Congress, the President, and the Secretary of State 
should work with the governments of other countries to establish a 
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Asia which would be modeled 
after the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe.
    Sec. 9008. Sense of Congress Regarding Democracy in Hong Kong. It 
is the sense of Congress that the people of Hong Kong should continue 
to have the right and ability to freely elect their legislative 
representatives, and that the procedure for the conduct of the 
elections of the legislature of the Hong Kong Special Administrative 
Region should be determined by the people of Hong Kong through an 
election law convention, a referendum, or both.
    Sec. 9009. Sense of Congress Relating to Organ Harvesting and 
Transplanting in the People's Republic of China. It is the sense of 
Congress that--
            (1) the Government of the People's Republic of China should 
        stop the practice of harvesting and transplanting organs for 
        profit from prisoners that it executes;
            (2) the Government of the People's Republic of China should 
        be strongly condemned for such organ harvesting and 
        transplanting practice;
            (3) the President should bar from entry into the United 
        States any and all officials of the Government of the People's

        harvesting and transplanting practice;
            (4) individuals determined to be participating in or 
        otherwise facilitating the sale of such organs in the United 
        States should be prosecuted to the fullest possible extent of 
        the law; and
            (5) the appropriate officials in the United States should 
        interview individuals, including doctors, who may have 
        knowledge of such organ harvesting and transplanting practice.

                                TITLE X

                         HUMAN RIGHTS IN CHINA

                 Subtitle A--Forced Abortions in China

    Sec. 10001. This subtitle may be cited as the ``Forced Abortion 
Condemnation Act''.
    Sec. 10002. Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Forced abortion was rightly denounced as a crime 
        against humanity by the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal.
            (2) For over 15 years there have been frequent and credible 
        reports of forced abortion and forced sterilization in 
        connection with the population control policies of the People's 
        Republic of China. These reports indicate the following:
                    (A) Although it is the stated position of the 
                politburo of the Chinese Communist Party that forced 
                abortion and forced sterilization have no role in the 
                population control program, in fact the Communist 
                Chinese Government encourages both forced abortion and 
                forced sterilization through a combination of strictly 
                enforced birth quotas and immunity for local population 
                control officials who engage in coercion. Officials 
                acknowledge that there have been instances of forced 
                abortions and sterilization, and no evidence has been 
                made available to suggest that the perpetrators have 
                been punished.
                    (B) People's Republic of China population control 
                officials, in cooperation with employers and works unit 
                officials, routinely monitor women's menstrual cycles 
                and subject women who conceive without government 
                authorization to extreme psychological pressure, to 
                harsh economic sanctions, including unpayable fines and 
                loss of employment, and often to physical force.
                    (C) Official sanctions for giving birth to 
                unauthorized children include fines in amounts several 
                times larger than the per capita annual incomes of 
                residents of the People's Republic of China. In Fujian, 
                for example, the average fine is estimated to be twice 
                a family's gross annual income. Families which cannot 
                pay the fine may be subject to confiscation and 
                destruction of their homes and personal property.
                    (D) Especially harsh punishments have been 
                inflicted on those whose resistance is motivated by 
                religion. For example, according to a 1995 Amnesty 
                International report, the Catholic inhabitants of 2 
                villages in Hebei Province were subjected to population 
                control under the slogan ``better to have more graves 
                than one more child''. Enforcement measures included 
                torture, sexual abuse, and the detention of resisters' 
                relatives as hostages.
                    (E) Forced abortions in Communist China often have 
                taken place in the very late stages of pregnancy.
                    (F) Since 1994 forced abortion and sterilization 
                have been used in Communist China not only to regulate 
                the number of children, but also to eliminate those who 
                are regarded as defective in accordance with the 
                official eugenic policy known as the ``Natal and Health 
                Care Law''.
    Sec. 10003. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
Secretary of State may not utilize any funds appropriated or otherwise 
available for the Department of State for fiscal year 1999 to issue any 
visa to any official of any country (except the head of state, the head 
of government, and cabinet level ministers) who the Secretary finds, 
based on credible and specific information, has been directly involved 
in the establishment or enforcement of population control policies 
forcing a woman to undergo an abortion against her free choice, or 
forcing a man or woman to undergo sterilization against his or her free 
choice or policies condoning the practice of genital mutilation.
    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Attorney 
General may not utilize any funds appropriated or otherwise available 
for the Department of Justice for fiscal year 1999 to admit to the 
United States any national covered by subsection (a).
    (c) The President may waive the prohibition in subsection (a) or 
(b) if the President--
            (1) determines that it is in the national interest of the 
        United States to do so; and
            (2) provides written notification to Congress containing a 
        justification for the waiver.

                Subtitle B--Freedom on Religion in China

    Sec. 10011. (a) It is the sense of Congress that the President 
should make freedom of religion one of the major objectives of United 
States foreign policy with respect to China.
    (b) As part of this policy, the Department of State should raise in 
every relevant bilateral and multilateral forum the issue of 
individuals imprisoned, detained, confined, or otherwise harassed by 
the Chinese Government on religious grounds.
    (c) In its communications with the Chinese Government, the 
Department of State should provide specific names of individuals of 
concern and request a complete and timely response from the Chinese 
Government regarding the individuals' whereabouts and condition, the 
charges against them, and sentence imposed.
    (d) The goal of these official communications should be the 
expeditious release of all religious prisoners in China and Tibet and 
the end of the Chinese Government's policy and practice of harassing 
and repressing religious believers.
    Sec. 10012. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
Secretary of State may not utilize any funds appropriated or otherwise 
available for the Department of State for fiscal year 1999 to issue a 
visa to any official of any country (except the head of state, the head 
of government, and cabinet level ministers) who the Secretary of State 
finds, based on credible and specific information, has been directly 
involved in the establishment or enforcement of policies or practices 
designed to restrict religious freedom.
    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Attorney 
General may not utilize any funds appropriated or otherwise available 
for the Department of Justice for fiscal year 1999 to admit to the 
United States any national covered by subsection (a).
    (c) The President may waive the prohibition in subsection (a) or 
(b) with respect to an individual described in such subsection if the 
President--
            (1) determines that it is vital to the national interest to 
        do so; and
            (2) provides written notification to the appropriate 
        congressional committees containing a justification for the 
        waiver.
    Sec. 10013. In this subtitle, the term ``appropriate congressional 
committees'' means the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and 
the Committee on International Relations of the House of 
Representatives.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Department of Defense Appropriations 
Act, 1999''.

            Passed the House of Representatives June 24, 1998.

            Attest:

                                                ROBIN H. CARLE,

                                                                 Clerk.
