                   Subtitle B--Foreign Service Reform

SEC. 311. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) To carry out its international relations and diplomacy, 
        the United States has relied on a professional career Foreign 
        Service that was established by law in 1924.
            (2) The Foreign Service Act of 1980 accurately states that 
        the United States career foreign service is essential to the 
        national interest in that it assists the President and the 
        Secretary of State in conducting the foreign affairs of the 
        United States.
            (3) The career Foreign Service is premised on a membership 
        that is characterized by excellence, intelligence, 
        professionalism, and integrity.
            (4) Ethical, professional, and financial misconduct by 
        career members of the Foreign Service, while uncommon, must be 
        met with fair but swift disciplinary action. A failure to 
        adequately discipline, and in some cases remove from the 
        Foreign Service, those career members who violate laws or 
        regulations would erode the qualities of excellence required of 
        United States Foreign Service members.
            (5) Retention of members of the Foreign Service who do not 
        meet high standards of conduct would in the long term harm 
        important national interests of the United States.

SEC. 312. UNITED STATES CITIZENS HIRED ABROAD.

        TITLE IV--EMBASSY SECURITY AND COUNTERTERRORISM MEASURES

SEC. 401. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Secure Embassy Construction and 
Counterterrorism Act of 1999''.

SEC. 402. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On August 7, 1998, the United States embassies in 
        Nairobi, Kenya, and in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, were destroyed 
        by simultaneously exploding bombs. The resulting explosions 
        killed 220 persons and injured more than 4,000 others. Twelve 
        Americans and 40 Kenyan and Tanzanian employees of the United 
        States Foreign Service were killed in the attack.
            (2) The United States personnel in both Dar es Salaam and 
        Nairobi showed leadership and personal courage in their 
        response to the attacks. Despite the havoc wreaked upon the 
        embassies, staff in both embassies provided rapid response in 
        locating and rescuing victims, providing emergency assistance, 
        and quickly restoring embassy operations during a crisis.
            (3) The bombs are believed to have been set by individuals 
        associated with Osama bin Laden, leader of a known 
        transnational terrorist organization. In February 1998, bin 
        Laden issued a directive to his followers that called for 
        attacks against United States interests anywhere in the world.
            (4) Following the bombings, additional threats have been 
        made against United States diplomatic facilities.
            (5) Accountability Review Boards were convened following 
        the bombings, as required by Public Law 99-399, chaired by 
        Admiral William J. Crowe, United States Navy (Ret.) (in this 
        section referred to as the ``Crowe panels'').
            (6) The conclusions of the Crowe panels were strikingly 
        similar to those stated by the Commission chaired by Admiral 
        Bobby Ray Inman, which issued an extensive embassy security 
        report more than 14 years ago.
            (7) The Crowe panels issued a report setting out many 
        problems with security at United States diplomatic facilities, 
        in particular the following:
                    (A) The United States Government has devoted 
                inadequate resources to security against terrorist 
                attacks.
                    (B) The United States Government places too low a 
                priority on security concerns.
            (8) The result has been a failure to take adequate steps to 
        prevent tragedies such as the bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
            (9) The Crowe panels found that there was an institutional 
        failure on the part of the Department of State to recognize 
        threats posed by transnational terrorism and vehicular bombs.
            (10) Responsibility for ensuring adequate resources for 
        security programs is widely shared throughout the United States 
        Government, including Congress. Unless the vulnerabilities 
        identified by the Crowe panels are addressed in a sustained and 
        financially realistic manner, the lives and safety of United 
        States employees in diplomatic facilities will continue to be 
        at risk from further terrorist attacks.
            (11) Although service in the Foreign Service or other 
        United States Government positions abroad can never be 
        completely without risk, the United States Government must take 
        all reasonable steps to minimize security risks.

SEC. 403. UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC FACILITY DEFINED.

    In this title, the terms ``United States diplomatic facility'' and 
``diplomatic facility'' mean any chancery, consulate, or other office 
building used by a United States diplomatic mission or consular post or 
by personnel of any agency of the United States abroad, except that 
those terms do not include any facility under the command of a United 
States area military commander.

        States diplomatic facilities,

            (2) Availability of authorizations.--Authorizations of 
        appropriations under paragraph (1) shall remain available until 
        the appropriations are made.

        classified report to the appropriate congressional committees 
        identifying each diplomatic facility that is a priority for

                report and described in an appendix submitted to the

            (2) Elements of the report.--The report shall--
                    (A) specify whether any United States diplomatic 
                facility should be closed because--
                            (i) the facility is highly vulnerable and 
                        subject to threat of terrorist attack; and

                foreign policy objectives served by retaining such 
                missions, balancing the importance of these objectives

                        gross domestic product (GDP), a high density

    Section 301 of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism

``SEC. 301. ACCOUNTABILITY REVIEW BOARDS.

    ``(a) In General.
            ``(1) Convening a board.--Except as provided in paragraph 
        (2), in any case of serious injury, loss of life, or 
        significant destruction of property at or related to a United 
        States Government mission abroad, and in any case of a serious 
        breach of security involving intelligence activities of a 
        foreign government directed at a United States Government 
        mission abroad, which is covered by the provisions of titles I 
        through IV (other than a facility or installation subject to 
        the control of a United States area military commander), the 
        Secretary of State shall convene an Accountability Review Board 
        (in this title referred to as the `Board'). The Secretary shall 
        not convene a Board where the Secretary determines that a case 
        clearly involves only causes unrelated to security.
            ``(2) Department of defense facilities and personnel.--The 
        Secretary of State is not required to convene a Board in the 
        case of an incident described in paragraph (1) that involves 
        any facility, installation, or personnel of the Department of 
        Defense with respect to which the Secretary has delegated 
        operational control of overseas security functions to the 
        Secretary of Defense pursuant to section 106 of this Act. In 
        any such case, the Secretary of Defense shall conduct an 
        appropriate inquiry. The Secretary of Defense shall report the 
        findings and recommendations of such inquiry, and the action 
        taken with respect to such recommendations, to the Secretary of 
        State and Congress.
    ``(b) Deadlines for Convening Boards.--
            ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
        Secretary of State shall convene a Board not later than 60 days 
        after the occurrence of an incident described in subsection 
        (a)(1), except that such 60-day period may be extended for two 
        additional 30-day periods if the Secretary determines that the 
        additional period or periods are necessary for the convening of 
        the Board.
            ``(2) Delay in cases involving intelligence activities.--
        With respect to breaches of security involving intelligence 
        activities, the Secretary of State may delay the establishment 
        of a Board if, after consultation with the chairman of the 
        Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate and the chairman 
        of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House 
        of Representatives, the Secretary determines that doing so 
        would compromise intelligence sources and methods. The 
        Secretary shall promptly advise the chairmen of such committees 
        of each determination pursuant to this paragraph to delay the 
        establishment of a Board.
    ``(c) Notification to Congress.--Whenever the Secretary of State 
convenes a Board, the Secretary shall promptly inform the chairman of 
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Speaker of the 
House of Representatives--
            ``(1) that a Board has been convened;

SEC. 615. STANDARDS FOR VERIFICATION.

    (a) Definitions.--It is the sense of the Senate that the following 
terms when used in publications of the United States Government, or in 
oral representations by officials of the United States Government, 
should have the following meanings:
            (1) Effectively verifiable.--The term ``effectively 
        verifiable'' means that the requirements of subparagraphs (A) 
        and (B) are met, as follows:
                    (A) The Director of Central Intelligence has 
                certified to the President that the intelligence 
                community has a high degree of confidence, with respect 
                to a particular treaty or other agreement, in its 
                ability to detect any militarily significant violation 
                of the treaty or other agreement in a timely fashion, 
                and to detect patterns of marginal violation over time. 
                In determining the intelligence community's confidence, 
                the Director should assume that all measures of 
                concealment could be employed and that standard 
                practices could be altered so as to impede monitoring.
                    (B) The Secretaries of State and Defense and the 
                Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have certified to 
                the President that they have a high degree of 
                confidence, with respect to a particular treaty or 
                other agreement, that the United States will be able to 
                reach a legal and technical determination regarding any 
                militarily significant violation of the treaty or other 
                agreement in a timely fashion, and to reach such a 
                determination regarding patterns of marginal violation, 
                once detected. In determining the level of confidence 
                under this subparagraph, the Secretaries of State and 
                Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
                should assume that all measures of concealment could be 
                employed and that standard practices could be altered 
                so as to impede monitoring.
            (2) Militarily significant violation.--The Chairman of the 
        Joint Chiefs of Staff, in consultation with the Secretary of 
        Defense, has sole responsibility for determining with 
        specificity, for purposes of any treaty or other international 
        agreement having implications for the national security of the 
        United States, what constitutes a militarily significant 
        violation. In making such a determination, the Chairman should 
        give great weight to his judgment that the violation could pose 
        a threat to the national security interests of the United 
        States.
            (3) Timely fashion defined.--In this section, the term 
        ``timely fashion'' means in sufficient time for the United 
        States to take remedial action to safeguard the national 
        security.
    (b) Conforming Amendments.--Section 37(a) of the Arms Control and 
Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2577(a)) is amended--
            (1) by striking ``adequately'';
            (2) by redesignating subsections (b), (c), and (d) as 
        subsections (c), (d), and (e); and
            (3) by inserting after subsection (a) the following new 
        subsection:
    ``(b) Assessments Upon Request.--Upon the request of the chairman 
or ranking minority member of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
Senate or the Committee on International Relations of the House of 
Representatives, in case of an arms control, nonproliferation, or 
disarmament proposal--
            ``(1) under consideration for presentation to a foreign 
        country by the United States;
            ``(2) presented to a foreign country by the United States; 
        or

            (1) Paragraph 6 of Article XI of the START Treaty states 
        the following: ``Each Party shall have the right to conduct 
        reentry vehicle inspections of deployed ICBMs and SLBMs to

        shall be given ``a clear, unobstructed view of the front 
        section [of the missile], to ascertain that the front section 
        contains no more reentry vehicles than the number of warheads 
        attributed to missiles of that type''.
            (5) Paragraph 13 of Annex 3 to the Inspections Protocol to 
        the START Treaty states the following: ``If a member of the in-
        country escort declares that an object contained in the front 
        section is not a reentry vehicle, the inspected Party shall 
        demonstrate to the satisfaction of the inspectors that this 
        object is not a reentry vehicle.''.
            (6) Section II of Annex 8 to the Inspections Protocol to 
        the START Treaty provides that radiation detection equipment 
        may be used during reentry vehicle inspections.
            (7) Paragraph F.1 of Section VI of Annex 8 to the 
        Inspections Protocol to the START Treaty states the following: 
        ``Radiation detection equipment shall be used to measure 
        nuclear radiation levels in order to demonstrate that objects 
        declared to be non-nuclear are non-nuclear.''.
            (8) While the use of radiation detection equipment may help 
        to determine whether an object that ``a member of the in-
        country escort declares..is not a reentry vehicle'' is a 
        reentry vehicle with a nuclear warhead, it cannot help to 
        determine whether that object is a reentry vehicle with a non-
        nuclear warhead.
            (9) Article XV of the START Treaty provides for a Joint 
        Compliance and Inspection Commission that shall meet to 
        ``resolve questions relating to compliance with the obligations 
        assumed''.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the United States should assert and, to the maximum 
        extent possible, exercise the right for reentry vehicle 
        inspectors to obtain a clear, unobstructed view of the front 
        section of a deployed SS-18 ICBM selected for reentry vehicle 
        inspection pursuant to paragraph 6 of Article XI of the START 
        Treaty;
            (2) the United States should assert and, to the maximum 
        extent possible, obtain Russian compliance with the obligation 
        of the host Party, pursuant to paragraph 13 of Annex 3 to the 
        Inspections Protocol to the START Treaty, to demonstrate to the 
        satisfaction of the inspectors that an object which is declared 
        not to be a reentry vehicle is not a reentry vehicle;
            (3) if a member of the in-country escort declares that an 
        object contained in the front section of a deployed SS-18 ICBM 
        selected for reentry vehicle inspection pursuant to paragraph 6 
        of Article XI of the START Treaty is not a reentry vehicle, but 
        the inspected Party does not demonstrate to the satisfaction of 
        the inspectors that this object is not a reentry vehicle, the 
        United States inspection team should record this fact in the 
        official inspection report as an ambiguity and the United 
        States should raise this matter in the Joint Compliance and 
        Inspection Commission as a concern relating to compliance of 
        Russia with the obligations assumed under the Treaty;
            (4) the United States should not agree to any arrangement 
        whereby the use of radiation detection equipment in a reentry 
        vehicle inspection, or a combination of the use of such 
        equipment and Russian assurances regarding SS-18 ICBMs, would 
        suffice to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the inspectors 
        that an object which is declared not to be a reentry vehicle is 
        not a reentry vehicle; and
            (5) the United States should not agree to any arrangement 
        whereby the use of technical equipment in a reentry vehicle 
        inspection would suffice to demonstrate to the satisfaction of 
        the inspectors that an object which is declared not to be a 
        reentry vehicle is not a reentry vehicle, unless the Director 
        of Central Intelligence, in consultation with the Secretaries 
        of State, Defense, and Energy, has determined that such 
        equipment can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the inspectors 
        that an object which is declared not to be a reentry vehicle is 
        not a reentry vehicle.
    (c) START Treaty Defined.--In this section, the term ``START 
Treaty'' means the Treaty With the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 
on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, including 
all agreed statements, annexes, protocols, and memoranda, signed at 
Moscow on July 31, 1991.

Foreign Relations of the Senate and the chairman of the Committee on 
International Relations of the House of Representatives a study on the 
performance of the licensing process pursuant to the Arms Export 
Control Act, with recommendations on how to improve that performance. 
The study shall include:
            (1) An analysis of the typology of licenses on which action 
        was completed in 1999. The analysis should provide information 
        on major categories of license requests, including--
                    (A) the number for nonautomatic small arms, 
                automatic small arms, technical data, parts and 
                components, and other weapons;
                    (B) the percentage of each category staffed to 
                other agencies;
                    (C) the average and median time taken for the 
                processing cycle for each category when staffed and not 
                staffed;
                    (D) the average time taken by White House or 
                National Security Council review or scrutiny; and
                    (E) the average time each spent at the Department 
                of State after a decision had been taken on the license 
                but before a contractor was notified of the decision. 
                For each category the study should provide a breakdown 
                of licenses by country. The analysis also should 
                identify each country that has been identified in the 
                past three years pursuant to section 3(e) of the Arms 
                Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2753(e)).
            (2) A review of the current computer capabilities of the 
        Department of State relevant to the processing of licenses and 
        its ability to communicate electronically with other agencies 
        and contractors, and what improvements could be made that would 
        speed the process, including the cost for such improvements.
            (3) An analysis of the work load and salary structure for 
        export licensing officers of the Office of Defense Trade 
        Control of the Department of State as compared to comparable 
        jobs at the Department of Commerce and the Department of 
        Defense.
            (4) Any suggestions of the Department of State relating to 
        resources and regulations, and any relevant statutory changes 
        that might expedite the licensing process while furthering the 
        objectives of the Arms Export Control Act.

                  TITLE VII--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                 Subtitle A--People's Republic of China

SEC. 701. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Congress concurs in the conclusions of the Department 
        of State, as set forth in the Country Reports on Human Rights 
        Practices for 1998, on human rights in the People's Republic of 
        China in 1998 as follows:
                    (A) ``The People's Republic of China (PRC) is an 
                authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist 
                Party (CCP) is the paramount source of power. . . . 
                Citizens lack both the freedom peacefully to express 
                opposition to the party-led political system and the 
                right to change their national leaders or form of 
                government.''.
                    (B) ``The Government continued to commit widespread 
                and well-documented human rights abuses, in violation 
                of internationally accepted norms. These abuses stemmed 
                from the authorities' very limited tolerance of public 
                dissent aimed at the Government, fear of unrest, and 
                the limited scope or inadequate implementation of laws 
                protecting basic freedoms.''.
                    (C) ``Abuses included instances of extrajudicial 
                killings, torture and mistreatment of prisoners, forced 
                confessions, arbitrary arrest and detention, lengthy 
                incommunicado detention, and denial of due process.''.
                    (D) ``Prison conditions at most facilities remained 
                harsh. . . . The Government infringed on citizens' 
                privacy rights. The Government continued restrictions 
                on freedom of speech and of the press, and tightened 
                these toward the end of the year. The Government 
                severely restricted freedom of assembly, and continued 
                to restrict freedom of association, religion, and 
                movement.''.
                    (E) ``Discrimination against women, minorities, and 
                the disabled; violence against women, including 
                coercive family planning practices--which sometimes 
                include forced abortion and forced sterilization; 
                prostitution, trafficking in women and children, and 
                the abuse of children all are problems.''.
                    (F) ``The Government continued to restrict tightly 
                worker rights, and forced labor remains a problem.''.
                    (G) ``Serious human rights abuses persisted in 
                minority areas, including Tibet and Xinjiang, where 
                restrictions on religion and other fundamental freedoms 
                intensified.''.
                    (H) ``Unapproved religious groups, including 
                Protestant and Catholic groups, continued to experience 
                varying degrees of official interference and 
                repression.''.
                    (I) ``Although the Government denies that it holds 
                political or religious prisoners, and argues that all 
                those in prison are legitimately serving sentences for 
                crimes under the law, an unknown number of persons, 
                estimated at several thousand, are detained in 
                violation of international human rights instruments for 
                peacefully expressing their political, religious, or 
                social views.''.
            (2) In addition to the State Department, credible press 
        reports and human rights organizations have documented an 
        intense crackdown on political activists by the Government of 
        the People's Republic of China, involving the harassment, 
        detainment, arrest, and imprisonment of dozens of activists.
            (3) 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.
            (4) 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, and is a signatory to the 
        International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the 
        Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights.

SEC. 705. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ORGAN HARVESTING AND

    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 
        Republic of China known to be directly involved in such organ 
        harvesting and transplanting practice;
            (4) individuals subject to the jurisdiction of the United 
        States who are determined to be participating in or otherwise 
        facilitating the sale of organs harvested 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

            (2) provides written notification to the appropriate 
        congressional committees containing a justification for the

SEC. 723. CONGRESSIONAL POLICY REGARDING UNITED NATIONS GENERAL 
              ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION ES-10/6.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In an emergency special session the United Nations 
        General Assembly voted on February 9, 1999, to adopt Resolution 
        ES-10/6, entitled ``Illegal Israeli Actions in Occupied East 
        Jerusalem And The Rest Of The Occupied Palestinian Territory'', 
        to convene for the first time in 50 years the parties to the 
        Fourth Geneva Convention for the Protection of Civilians in 
        Time of War.
            (2) That resolution unfairly places full blame for the 
        deterioration of the peace process in the Middle East on Israel 
        and dangerously politicizes the Geneva Convention, which was 
        established to address critical humanitarian crises.
            (3) The adoption of that resolution is intended to prejudge 
        direct negotiations in the peace process in the Middle East, 
        put additional and undue pressure on Israel to influence the 
        results of such negotiations, and single out Israel for 
        unprecedented enforcement proceedings which have never been 
        invoked, even against governments with records of massive 
        violations of the Geneva Convention.
    (b) Statement of Policy.--Congress--
            (1) commends the Department of State for the vote of the 
        United States against United Nations General Assembly 
        Resolution ES-10/6, thereby affirming that the text of the 
        resolution politicizes the Fourth Geneva Convention, which is 
        primarily humanitarian in nature; and
            (2) urges the Department of State to continue its efforts 
        against convening the conference specified in the resolution.

SEC. 724. WAIVER OF CERTAIN PROHIBITIONS REGARDING THE PALESTINE 
              LIBERATION ORGANIZATION.

    (a) Authority to Waive.--The President may waive any prohibition 
set forth in section 1003 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, 
Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989 (Public Law 100-204; 101 Stat. 1407; 22 
U.S.C. 5202) if the President determines and so certifies to the 
appropriate congressional committees that--
            (1) it is in the national interest of the United States to 
        do so; and
            (2) after the date of the enactment of this Act, neither 
        the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Palestinian 
        Authority, the Palestinian Legislative Council, nor any 
        Palestinian governing body with jurisdiction over territories 
        controlled by the Palestinian Authority has made a declaration 
        of statehood outside the framework of negotiations with the 
        State Israel.
    (b) Period of Applicability of Waiver.--Any waiver under subsection 
(a) shall be effective for not more than 6 months at a time.

SEC. 725. UNITED STATES POLICY REGARDING JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF 
              ISRAEL.

    (a) Construction of United States Embassy in Jerusalem.--Of the 
amounts authorized to be appropriated by section 101(a)(3) of this Act 
for ``Security and Maintenance of United States Missions'', $50,000,000 
for the fiscal year 2000 and $50,000,000 for the fiscal year 2001 may 
be available for the construction of a United States embassy in 
Jerusalem, Israel.
    (b) Limitation on Use of Funds for Consulate in Jerusalem.--None of 
the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act should be obligated 
or expended for the operation of a United States consulate or 
diplomatic facility in Jerusalem unless such consulate or diplomatic 
facility is under the supervision of the United States Ambassador to 
Israel.
    (c) Limitation on Use of Funds for Certain Publications.--None of 
the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act may be obligated or 
expended for the publication of any official government document which 
lists countries and their capital cities unless the document identifies 
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
    (d) Record of Place of Birth as Israel for Passport Purposes.--For 
purposes of the registration of birth, certification of nationality, or 
issuance of a passport of a United States citizen born in the city of 
Jerusalem, the Secretary of State shall, upon the request of the 
citizen, record the place of birth as Israel.

SEC. 726. UNITED STATES POLICY WITH RESPECT TO NIGERIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) A stable and democratic Nigeria is important to the 
        interests of the United States, the West African region, and 
        the international community.
            (2) Millions of Nigerians participated in four rounds of 
        multiparty elections as part of a transition program that will 
        culminate in the inauguration of a civilian president, members 
        of the National Assembly, governors, and local leaders on May 
        29, 1999. Although turnout in each of the four rounds was lower 
        than expected, a clear majority of Nigerians demonstrated their 
        support for a swift and orderly transition to democratic 
        civilian rule through participation in the elections or through 
        other means.
            (3) Nevertheless, continued rule by successive military 
        regimes in Nigeria has harmed the lives of the people of 
        Nigeria, undermined confidence in the Nigerian economy, damaged 
        relations between Nigeria and the United States, and threatened 
        the political and economic stability of West Africa.
            (4) Although the current military regime, under the 
        leadership of General Abdusalami Abubakar, has made significant 
        progress in liberalizing the political environment in Nigeria, 
        including increased respect for freedom of assembly, 
        expression, and association, numerous decrees are still in 
        force that suspend the constitutional protection of fundamental 
        human rights, allow indefinite detention without charge, and 
        revoke the jurisdiction of civilian courts over executive 
        actions.
            (5) Despite the optimism expressed by many observers about 
        the progress that has been made in Nigeria, the country's 
        recent history raises serious questions about the potential 
        success of the transition program. In particular, events in the 
        Niger Delta in early 1999 underscore the critical need for 
        ongoing monitoring of the situation and indicate that a return 
        by the Government of Nigeria to repressive methods remains a 
        possibility.
    (b) Declaration of Policy.--Congress declares that the United 
States--
            (1) supports a timely, effective, and sustainable 
        transition to democratic, civilian government in Nigeria; and
            (2) encourages the incoming civilian government in Nigeria 
        to make the political, economic, and legal reforms necessary to 
        ensure the rule of law and respect for human rights in Nigeria, 
        including establishing effective democratic institutions, 
        integrating the military into democratic society, and creating 
        mechanisms for transparency and accountability.

SEC. 727. PARTIAL LIQUIDATION OF BLOCKED LIBYAN ASSETS.

    (a) Liquidation of Certain Blocked Libyan Assets.--The President 
shall vest and liquidate so much of blocked Libyan assets, ordered 
pursuant to Executive Order No. 12544 (January 8, 1986), as is 
necessary to pay for the reasonable costs of travel to and from The 
Hague, Netherlands, by immediate family members of United States 
citizens who were victims of the crash of Pan American flight 103 in 
1988 and wish to attend the trial of those individuals suspected of 
terrorist acts causing the crash.
    (b) Definitions.--In this section--
            (1) Blocked libyan assets.--The term ``blocked Libyan 
        assets'' refers to property and interests of the Government of 
        Libya, its agencies, instrumentalities, and controlled entities 
        and the Bank of Libya, blocked pursuant to Executive Order No. 
        12544 (January 8, 1986).
            (2) Immediate family members.--The term ``immediate family 
        member'' means parents, siblings, children, spouse, or a person 
        who stood in loco parentis or to whom he or she stood in loco 
        parentis, of a crash victim.

SEC. 728. SUPPORT FOR REFUGEES FROM RUSSIA WHO CHOOSE TO RESETTLE IN 
              ISRAEL.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Russian Jewish community is the third largest 
        Jewish community in the world.
            (2) Anti-Semitic rhetoric from members of the Duma of the 
        Russian Federation has increased during the past year.
            (3) The Duma failed to pass a resolution condemning the 
        anti-Semitic statements made by Russian lawmakers on March 19, 
        1999.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States should support members of Russia's 
        Jewish community; and
            (2) the United States should continue to provide assistance 
        to Russian Jewish refugees resettling in Israel.

SEC. 729. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING EXTRADITION OF LT. GENERAL IGOR 
              GIORGADZE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On Tuesday, August 29, 1995, President Eduard 
        Shevardnadze of Georgia was the victim of an attempted 
        assassination plot as he was departing his offices in the 
        Georgian Parliament building to attend the signing ceremony for 
        a new Georgian constitution.
            (2) Former Chief of the Georgian National Security Service, 
        Lt. General Igor Giorgadze, has been implicated in organizing 
        the August 29, 1995 car bomb attack on President Shevardnadze, 
        and allegedly fled from the Varziani air base, one of Russia's 
        four military bases in Georgia at that time, and the same 
        Russian base on which three Georgia aircraft SU 25's were 
        sabotaged, preventing them from performing fighter escort duty 
        for President Shevardnadze's aircraft.
            (3) Lt. General Igor Giorgadze has subsequently been seen 
        walking freely on the streets of Moscow as well as living and 
        utilizing facilities of the Government of Russia.
            (4) Interpol is conducting a search for Lt. General Igor 
        Giorgadze for his role in the assassination attempt against 
        President Shevardnadze.
            (5) In the aftermath of the attack on President 
        Shevardnadze, and regularly since that time, the Government of 
        Georgia has made repeated requests for the extradition of Lt. 
        General Igor Giorgadze to Tbilisi, Georgia.
            (6) The Russian Interior Ministry has claimed that it is 
        unable to locate Giorgadze.
            (7) The Georgian Security and Interior Ministries on 
        repeated occasions have provided to the Russian Interior 
        Ministry--
                    (A) the exact locations in Russia where Giorgadze 
                could be found, including the exact location in Moscow 
                where Giorgadze's family lived;
                    (B) the exact location where Giorgadze himself 
                stayed outside of Moscow in a dacha of the Russian 
                Ministry of Defense;
                    (C) people he associates with;
                    (D) apartments he visits; and
                    (E) the places, including restaurants, markets, and 
                companies, he frequents.
            (8) Russian newspapers regularly carry interviews with 
        Giorgadze in which Giorgadze calls for a change in regime in 
        Tbilisi.
            (9) Giorgadze is actively engaged in a propaganda campaign 
        against President Shevardnadze and the democratic forces in 
        Georgia, with the assistance of his father who is the Communist 
        Party chief in Georgia.
            (10) Giorgadze continues to organize and plan attempts on 
        the life of President Shevardnadze.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
President and other senior United States Government officials should 
raise at each bilateral meeting between officials of the United States 
Government and officials of the Russian Federation the issue of the 
extradition of Lt. General Igor Giorgadze to Georgia.

SEC. 730. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE USE OF CHILDREN AS SOLDIERS OR OTHER 
              COMBATANTS IN FOREIGN ARMED FORCES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) There are at least 300,000 children who are involved in 
        armed conflict in at least 25 countries around the world. This 
        is an escalating international humanitarian crisis which must 
        be addressed promptly.
            (2) 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.
            (3) Children are most likely to become child soldiers if 
        they are orphans, refugees, poor, separated from their 
        families, displaced from their homes, living in a combat zone, 
        or have limited access to education.
            (4) Child soldiers, besides being exposed to the normal 
        hazards of combat, are also afflicted with other injuries due 
        to their lives in the military. Young children may have 
        sexually related illnesses, suffer from malnutrition, have 
        deformed backs and shoulders which are the result of carrying 
        loads too heavy for them, as well as respiratory and skin 
        infections.
            (5) One of the most egregious examples of the use of child 
        soldiers is the abduction thousands of 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.
            (6) The Department of State's Country Reports on Human 
        Rights Practices For 1999 reports that in Uganda the LRA 
        abducted children ``to be guerillas and tortured them by 
        beating them, raping them, forcing them to march until 
        collapse, and denying them adequate food, water, or shelter''.
            (7) Children who manage to escape from LRA captivity have 
        little access to trauma care and rehabilitation programs, and 
        many find their families displaced, missing, dead, or fearful 
        of having their children return home.
            (8) A large number of children have participated and been 
        killed in the armed conflict in Sri Lanka, and the use of 
        children as soldiers has led to a breakdown in law and order in 
        Sierra Leone.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--
            (1) Condemnation.--Congress hereby joins the international 
        community in condemning the use of children as soldiers and 
        other combatants by governmental and non-governmental armed 
        forces.
            (2) Further sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress 
        that the Secretary of State should--
                    (A) study the issue of the rehabilitation of former 
                child soldiers, the manner in which their suffering can 
                be alleviated, and the positive role that the United 
                States can play in such an effort; and
                    (B) submit a report to Congress on the issue of 
                rehabilitation of child soldiers and their families.

SEC. 733. SELF-DETERMINATION IN EAST TIMOR

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) On May 5, 1999, the Governments of Indonesia and 
        Portugal signed an agreement that provides for an August 8, 
        1999 ballot organized by the United Nations on East Timor's 
        political status.
            (2) On June 22, 1999, the ballot was rescheduled for August 
        21 or August 22 due to concerns that the conditions necessary 
        for a free and fair vote could not be established prior to 
        August 8.
            (3) On January 27, 1999, President Habibie expressed a 
        willingness to consider independence for East Timor if a 
        majority of the East Timorese reject autonomy in the August 
        ballot.
            (4) Under the May 5th agreement the Government of Indonesia 
        is responsible for ensuring that the August ballot is carried 
        out in a fair and peaceful way in an atmosphere free of 
        intimidation, violence or interference.
            (5) The inclusion of anti-independence militia members in 
        Indonesian forces responsible for establishing security in East 
        Timor violates the May 5th agreement which states that the 
        absolute neutrality of the military and police is essential for 
        holding a free and fair ballot.
            (6) The arming of anti-independence militias by members of 
        the Indonesian military for the purpose of sabotaging the 
        August ballot has resulted in hundreds of civilians killed, 
        injured or disappeared in separate attacks by these militias 
        who continue to act without restraint.
            (7) The United Nations Secretary General has received 
        credible reports of political violence, including intimidation 
        and killings, by armed anti-independence militias against 
        unarmed pro-independence civilians.
            (8) There have been killings of opponents of independence, 
        including civilians and militia members.
            (9) The killings in East Timor should be fully investigated 
        and the individuals responsible brought to justice.
            (10) Access to East Timor by international human rights 
        monitors and humanitarian organizations is limited, and members 
        of the press have been threatened.
            (11) The presence of members of the United Nations 
        Assistance Mission in East Timor has already resulted in an 
        improved security environment in the East Timorese capital of 
        Dili.
            (12) A robust international observer mission and police 
        force throughout East Timor is critical to creating a stable 
        and secure environment necessary for a free and fair ballot.
            (13) The Administration should be commended for its support 
        for the United Nations Assistance Mission in East Timor which 
        will provide monitoring and support for the ballot and include 
        international civilian police, military liaison officers and 
        election monitors.
    (b) Policy.--(1) The President, Secretary of State, Secretary of 
Defense, and the Secretary of the Treasury (acting through the United 
States executive directors to international financial institutions) 
should immediately intensify their efforts to prevail upon the 
Indonesian Government and military to--
            (A) disarm and disband anti-independence militias;
            (B) grant full access to East Timor by international human 
        rights monitors, humanitarian organizations, and the press;
            (C) allow Timorese who have been living in exile to return 
        to East Timor to participate in the ballot.
    (2) The President should submit a report to the Congress not later 
than 21 days after passage of this Act, containing a description of the 
Administration's efforts and his assessment of steps taken by the 
Indonesian Government and military to ensure a stable and secure 
environment in East Timor, including those steps described in paragraph 
(1).

SEC. 734. PROHIBITION ON THE RETURN OF VETERANS MEMORIAL OBJECTS TO 
              FOREIGN NATIONS WITHOUT SPECIFIC AUTHORIZATION IN LAW.

    (a) Prohibition.--Notwithstanding section 2572 of title 10, United 
States Code, or any other provision of law, the President may not 
transfer a veterans memorial object to a foreign country or entity 
controlled by a foreign government, or otherwise transfer or convey 
such object to any person or entity for purposes of the ultimate 
transfer or conveyance of such object to a foreign country or entity

law.
    (b) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Entity controlled by a foreign government.--The term

        given that term in section 2536(c)(1) of title 10, United 
        States Code.
            (2) Veterans memorial object.--The term ``veterans memorial 
        object'' means any object, including a physical structure or 
        portion thereof, that--
                    (A) is located at a cemetery of the National 
                Cemetery System, war memorial, or military installation 
                in the United States;
                    (B) is dedicated to, or otherwise memorializes, the 
                death in combat or combat-related duties of members of 
                the United States Armed Forces; and
                    (C) was brought to the United States from abroad as 
                a memorial of combat abroad.

SEC. 735. SUPPORT FOR THE PEACE PROCESS IN SUDAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the civil war in Sudan has continued unabated for 16 
        years and raged intermittently for 40 years;
            (2) an estimated 1,900,000 Sudanese people have died as a 
        result of war-related causes and famine;
            (3) an estimated 4,000,000 people are currently in need of 
        emergency food assistance in different areas of Sudan;
            (4) approximately 4,000,000 people are internally displaced 
        in Sudan;
            (5) the continuation of war has led to human rights abuses 
        by all parties to the conflict, including the killing of 
        civilians, slavery, rape, and torture on the part of government 
        forces and paramilitary forces; and
            (6) it is in the interest of all the people of Sudan for 
        the parties to the conflict to seek a negotiated settlement of 
        hostilities and the establishment of a lasting peace in Sudan.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--(1) Congress--
            (A) acknowledges the renewed vigor in facilitating and 
        assisting the Inter-Governmental Authority for Development 
        (IGAD) peace process in Sudan; and
            (B) urges continued and sustained engagement by the 
        Department of State in the IGAD peace process and the IGAD 
        Partners' Forum.
    (2) It is the sense of Congress that the President should--
            (A) appoint a special envoy--
                    (i) to serve as a point of contact for the Inter-
                Governmental Authority for Development peace process;
                    (ii) to coordinate with the Inter-Governmental 
                Authority for Development Partners Forum as the Forum 
                works to support the peace process in Sudan; and
                    (iii) to coordinate United States humanitarian 
                assistance to southern Sudan.
            (B) provide increased financial and technical support for 
        the IGAD Peace Process and especially the IGAD Secretariat in 
        Nairobi, Kenya; and
            (C) instruct the United States Permanent Representative to 
        the United Nations to call on the United Nations Secretary 
        General to consider the appointment of a special envoy for 
        Sudan.

SEC. 736. EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE TREATMENT 
              OF RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN, 
              AND PARTICULARLY THE RECENT ARRESTS OF MEMBERS OF THAT 
              COUNTRY'S JEWISH COMMUNITY.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) ten percent of the citizens of the Islamic Republic of 
        Iran are members of religious minority groups;
            (2) according to the State Department and internationally 
        recognized human rights organizations, such as Human Rights 
        Watch and Amnesty International, religious minorities in the 
        Islamic Republic of Iran--including Sunni Muslims, Baha'is, 
        Christians, and Jews--have been the victims of human rights 
        violations solely because of their status as religious 
        minorities;
            (3) the 55th session of the United Nations Commission on 
        Human Rights passed Resolution 1999/13, which expresses the 
        concern of the international community over ``continued 
        discrimination against religious minorities'' in the Islamic 
        Republic of Iran, and calls on that country to moderate its 
        policy on religious minorities until they are ``completely 
        emancipated'';
            (4) more than half the Jews in Iran have been forced to 
        flee that country since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 because 
        of religious persecution, and many of them now reside in the 
        United States;
            (5) the Iranian Jewish community, with a 2,500-year history 
        and currently numbering some 30,000 people, is the oldest 
        Jewish community living in the Diaspora;
            (6) five Jews have been executed by the Iranian government 
        in the past five years without having been tried;
            (7) there has been a noticeable increase recently in anti-
        Semitic propaganda in the government-controlled Iranian press;
            (8) on the eve of the Jewish holiday of Passover 1999, 
        thirteen or more Jews, including community and religious 
        leaders in the city of Shiraz, were arrested by the authorities 
        of the Islamic Republic of Iran; and
            (9) in keeping with its dismal record on providing accused 
        prisoners with due process and fair treatment, the Islamic 
        Republic of Iran failed to charge the detained Jews with any 
        specific crime or allow visitation by relatives of the detained 
        for more than two months.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
United States should--
            (1) continue to work through the United Nations to assure 
        that the Islamic Republic of Iran implements the 
        recommendations of Resolution 1999/13;
            (2) condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the recent 
        arrest of members of Iran's Jewish minority and urge their 
        immediate release;
            (3) urge all nations having relations with the Islamic 
        Republic of Iran to condemn the treatment of religious 
        minorities in Iran and call for the release of all prisoners 
        held on the basis of their religious beliefs; and
            (4) maintain the current United States policy toward the 
        Islamic Republic of Iran unless and until that country 
        moderates its treatment of religious minorities.

SEC. 737. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER PLO COMMITMENTS COMPLIANCE ACT 
              OF 1989.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The PLO Commitments Compliance Act of 1989 (title VIII 
        of Public Law 101-246) requires the President to submit reports 
        to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the chairman

        days, on Palestinian compliance with the Geneva commitments of 
        1988, the commitments contained in the letter of September 9, 
        1993 to the Prime Minister of Israel, and the letter of

            (2) The reporting requirements of the PLO Commitments 
        Compliance Act of 1989 have remained in force from enactment 
        until the present.
            (3) Modification and amendment to the PLO Commitments 
        Compliance Act of 1989, and the expiration of the Middle East 
        Peace Facilitation Act (Public Law 104-107) did not alter the 
        reporting requirements.
            (4) According to the official records of the Committee on 
        Foreign Relations of the Senate, the last report under the PLO 
        Commitments Compliance Act of 1989 was submitted and received 
        on December 27, 1997.
    (b) Reporting Requirements.--The PLO Commitments Compliance Act of 
1989 is amended --
            (1) in section 804(b), by striking ``In conjunction with 
        each written policy justification required under section 
        604(b)(1) of the Middle East Peace Facilitation Act of 1995 or 
        every'' and inserting ``Every'';
            (2) in section 804(b)--
                    (A) by striking ``and'' at the end of paragraph 
                (9);
                    (B) by striking the period at the end of paragraph 
                (10); and
                    (C) by adding at the end the following new 
                paragraphs:
            ``(11) a statement on the effectiveness of end-use 
        monitoring of international or United States aid being provided 
        to the Palestinian Authority, Palestinian Liberation 
        Organization, or the Palestinian Legislative Council, or to any 
        other agent or instrumentality of the Palestinian Authority, on 
        Palestinian efforts to comply with international accounting 
        standards and on enforcement of anti-corruption measures; and
            ``(12) a statement on compliance by the Palestinian 
        Authority with the democratic reforms, with specific details 
        regarding the separation of powers called for between the 
        executive and Legislative Council, the status of legislation 
        passed by the Legislative Council and sent to the executive, 
        the support of the executive for local and municipal elections, 
        the status of freedom of the press, and of the ability of the 
        press to broadcast debate from within the Legislative Council 
        and about the activities of the Legislative Council.''.

SEC. 739. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING CHILD LABOR.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) The International Labor Organization (in this 
        resolution referred to as the ``ILO'') estimates that at least 
        250,000,000 children under the age of 15 are working around the 
        world, many of them in dangerous jobs that prevent them from 
        pursuing an education and damage their physical and moral well-
        being.
            (2) Children are the most vulnerable element of society and 
        are often abused physically and mentally in the work place.
            (3) Making children work endangers their education, health, 
        and normal development.
            (4) UNICEF estimates that by the year 2000, over 
        1,000,000,000 adults will be unable to read or write on even a 
        basic level because they had to work as children and were not 
        educated.
            (5) Nearly 41 percent of the children in Africa, 22 percent 
        in Asia, and 17 percent in Latin America go to work without 
        ever having seen the inside of a classroom.
            (6) The President, in his State of the Union address, 
        called abusive child labor ``the most intolerable labor 
        practice of all,'' and called upon other countries to join in 
        the fight against abusive and exploitative child labor.
            (7) The Department of Labor has conducted 5 detailed 
        studies that document the growing trend of child labor in the 
        global economy, including a study that shows children as young 
        as 4 are making assorted products that are traded in the global 
        marketplace.
            (8) The prevalence of child labor in many developing 
        countries is rooted in widespread poverty that is attributable 
        to unemployment and underemployment among adults, low living 
        standards, and insufficient education and training 
        opportunities among adult workers and children.
            (9) The ILO has unanimously reported a new Convention on 
        the Worst Forms of Child Labor.
            (10) The United States negotiators played a leading role in 
        the negotiations leading up to the successful conclusion of the 
        new ILO Convention on the Worst Forms of Child Labor.
            (11) On September 23, 1993, the United States Senate 
        unanimously adopted a resolution stating its opposition to the 
        importation of products made by abusive and exploitative child 
        labor and the exploitation of children for commercial gain.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) abusive and exploitative child labor should not be 
        tolerated anywhere it occurs;
            (2) ILO member States should be commended for their efforts 
        in negotiating this historic convention;
            (3) it should be the policy of the United States to 
        continue to work with all foreign nations and international 
        organizations to promote an end to abusive and exploitative 
        child labor; and
            (4) the Senate looks forward to the prompt submission by 
        the President of the new ILO Convention on the Worst Forms of 
        Child Labor.

SEC. 740. REPORTING REQUIREMENT ON WORLDWIDE CIRCULATION OF SMALL ARMS 
              AND LIGHT WEAPONS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In numerous regional conflicts, the presence of vast 
        numbers of small arms and light weapons has prolonged and 
        exacerbated conflict and frustrated attempts by the 
        international community to secure lasting peace. The sheer 
        volume of available weaponry has been a major factor in the 
        devastation witnessed in recent conflicts in Angola, Cambodia, 
        Liberia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, 
        and Afghanistan, among others, and has contributed to the 
        violence endemic to narcotrafficking in Colombia and Mexico.
            (2) Increased access by terrorists, guerrilla groups, 
        criminals, and others to small arms and light weapons poses a 
        real threat to United States participants in peacekeeping 
        operations and United States forces based overseas, as well as 
        to United States citizens traveling overseas.
            (3) In accordance with the reorganization of the Department 
        of State made by the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring 
        Act of 1998, effective March 28, 1999, all functions and 
        authorities of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency were 
        transferred to the Secretary of State. One of the stated goals 
        of that Act is to integrate the Arms Control and Disarmament 
        Agency into the Department of State ``to give new emphasis to a 
        broad range of efforts to curb proliferation of dangerous 
        weapons and delivery systems''.
    (b) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit to the appropriate 
congressional committees a report containing--
            (1) an assessment of whether the export of small arms poses 
        any proliferation problems including--
                    (A) estimates of the numbers and sources of licit 
                and illicit small arms and light arms in circulation 
                and their origins;
                    (B) the challenges associated with monitoring small 
                arms; and
                    (C) the political, economic, and security 
                dimensions of this issue, and the threats posed, if 
                any, by these weapons to United States interests, 
                including national security interests;
            (2) an assessment of whether the export of small arms of 
        the type sold commercially in the United States should be 
        considered a foreign policy or proliferation issue;
            (3) a description of current Department of State activities 
        to monitor and, to the extent possible ensure adequate control 
        of, both the licit and illicit manufacture, transfer, and 
        proliferation of small arms and light weapons, including 
        efforts to survey and assess this matter with respect to Africa 
        and to survey and assess the scope and scale of the issue, 
        including stockpile security and destruction of excess 
        inventory, in NATO and Partnership for Peace countries;
            (4) a description of the impact of the reorganization of 
        the Department of State made by the Foreign Affairs Reform and 
        Restructuring Act of 1998 on the transfer of functions relating 
        to monitoring, licensing, analysis, and policy on small arms 
        and light weapons, including--
                    (A) the integration of and the functions relating 
                to small arms and light weapons of the United States 
                Arms Control and Disarmament Agency with those of the 
                Department of State;
                    (B) the functions of the Bureau of Arms Control, 
                the Bureau of Nonproliferation, the Bureau of 
                Political-Military Affairs, the Bureau of International 
                Narcotics and Law Enforcement, regional bureaus, and 
                any other relevant bureau or office of the Department 
                of State, including the allocation of personnel and 
                funds, as they pertain to small arms and light weapons;
                    (C) the functions of the regional bureaus of the 
                Department of State in providing information and policy 
                coordination in bilateral and multilateral settings on 
                small arms and light weapons;
                    (D) the functions of the Under Secretary of State 
                for Arms Control and International Security pertaining 
                to small arms and light weapons; and
                    (E) the functions of the scientific and policy 
                advisory board on arms control, nonproliferation, and 
                disarmament pertaining to small arms and light weapons; 
                and
            (5) an assessment of whether foreign governments are 
        enforcing their own laws concerning small arms and light 
        weapons import and sale, including commitments under the Inter-
        American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and 
        Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other 
        Related Materials or other relevant international agreements.

                departure with the record of the alien's arrival in the 
                United States; and
                    ``(B) enable the Attorney General to identify,

SEC. 752. REPORT ON AUTOMATED ENTRY-EXIT CONTROL SYSTEM.

    (a) Requirement.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Attorney General shall submit a report to the 
Committees on the Judiciary of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on the feasibility of developing and implementing an 
automated entry-exit control system that would collect a record of 
departure for every alien departing the United States and match the 
record of departure with the record of the alien's arrival in the 
United States, including departures and arrivals at the land borders 
and seaports of the United States.
    (b) Contents of Report.--Such report shall--
            (1) assess the costs and feasibility of various means of 
        operating such an automated entry-exit control system, 
        including exploring--
                    (A) how, if the automated entry-exit control system 
                were limited to certain aliens arriving at airports, 
                departure records of those aliens could be collected 
                when they depart through a land border or seaport; and
                    (B) the feasibility of the Attorney General, in 
                consultation with the Secretary of State, negotiating 
                reciprocal agreements with the governments of 
                contiguous countries to collect such information on 
                behalf of the United States and share it in an 
                acceptable automated format;
            (2) consider the various means of developing such a system, 
        including the use of pilot projects if appropriate, and assess 
        which means would be most appropriate in which geographical 
        regions;
            (3) evaluate how such a system could be implemented without 
        increasing border traffic congestion and border crossing delays 
        and, if any such system would increase border crossing delays, 
        evaluate to what extent such congestion or delays would 
        increase; and
            (4) estimate the length of time that would be required for 
        any such system to be developed and implemented.

        period of stay, with an accounting by country of nationality 
        and approximate date of arrival in the United States.
    (c) Incorporation Into Other Databases.--Information regarding

SEC. 827. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING ICTR.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) 
        was established to prosecute individuals responsible for 
        genocide and other serious violations of international 
        humanitarian law committed in the territory of Rwanda.
            (2) A separate tribunal, the International Criminal 
        Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), was created with a 
        similar purpose for crimes committed in the territory of the 
        former Yugoslavia.
            (3) The acts of genocide and crimes against humanity that 
        have been perpetrated against civilians in the Great Lakes 
        region of Africa equal in horror the acts committed in the 
        territory of the former Yugoslavia.
            (4) The ICTR has succeeded in issuing at least 28 
        indictments against 48 individuals, and currently has in 
        custody 38 individuals presumed to have led and directed the 
        1994 genocide.
            (5) The ICTR issued the first conviction ever by an 
        international court for the crime of genocide against Jean-Paul 
        Akayesu, the former mayor of Taba, who was sentenced to life in 
        prison.
            (6) The mandate of the ICTR is limited to acts committed 
        only during calendar year 1994, yet the mandate of the ICTY 
        covers serious violations of international humanitarian law 
        since 1991 through the present.
            (7) There have been well substantiated allegations of major 
        crimes against humanity and war crimes that have taken place in 
        the Great Lakes region of Africa that fall outside of the 
        current mandate of the Tribunal in terms of either the dates 
        when, or geographical areas where, such crimes took place.
            (8) The attention accorded the ICTY and the indictments 
        that have been made as a result of the ICTY's broad mandate 
        continue to play an important role in current United States 
        policy in the Balkans.
            (9) The international community must send an unmistakable 
        signal that genocide and other crimes against humanity cannot 
        be committed with impunity.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
President should instruct the United States United Nations 
Representative to advocate to the Security Council to direct the Office 
for Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) to reevaluate the conduct and 
operation of the ICTR. Particularly, the OIOS should assess the 
progress made by the Tribunal in implementing the recommendations of 
the Report of the United Nations Secretary-General on the Activities of 
the Office of Internal Oversight Services, A/52/784, of February 6, 
1998. The OIOS should also include an evaluation of the potential 
impact of expanding the original mandate of the ICTR.
    (c) Report.--Ninety days after enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
of State shall report to Congress on the effectiveness and progress of 
the ICTR. The report shall include an assessment of the ICTR's ability 
to meet its current mandate and an evaluation of the potential impact 
of expanding that mandate to include crimes committed after calendar 
year 1994.
