                               RESOLUTION


 
    Expressing the sense of the House regarding the transfer to the 
   People's Republic of China of technology that can be used in the 
               development of strategic nuclear missiles.

Whereas missile guidance technology has already been transferred to a Chinese 
        company that is involved in the production of strategic nuclear 
        missiles;
Whereas the People's Republic of China has refused to join the 29-nation Missile 
        Technology Control Regime;
Whereas it cannot be certified that the People's Republic of China is not 
        transferring missile technology to Iran, Pakistan, or other nations that 
        have not joined the Missile Technology Control Regime; and
Whereas the People's Republic of China has threatened to use strategic nuclear 
        missiles against the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the President and the Congress should act to ensure that no technology 
that can be used to develop strategic nuclear missiles is transferred 
to the People's Republic of China unless--
            (1) the People's Republic of China joins the Missile 
        Technology Control Regime;
            (2) the People's Republic of China guarantees that it does 
        not and will not transfer strategic nuclear or other missile 
        technology to Iran, Pakistan, or other nations that have not 
        joined the Missile Technology Control Regime; and
            (3) the President certifies to the Congress that no such 
        transfer is occurring or is likely to occur.
                                 <all>
