FOREWORD
----------
This volume of legislation and related material is part of
a five volume set of laws and related material frequently
referred to by the Committees on Foreign Relations of the
Senate and International Relations of the House of
Representatives, amended to date and annotated to show
pertinent history or cross references.
Volumes I (A and B), II (A and B), III and IV contain
legislation and related material and are republished with
amendments and additions on a regular basis. Volume V, which
contains treaties and related material, will be revised as
necessary.
We wish to express our appreciation to Dianne E. Rennack
and Larry Q. Nowels of the Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade
Division of the Congressional Research Service of the Library
of Congress who prepared volume I-B of this year's compilation.
Henry J. Hyde,
Chairman, Committee on International Relations.
Richard G. Lugar,
Chairman, Committee on Foreign Relations.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
----------
The body of statutory law set out in this volume was in
force, as amended, at the end of 2005.
This volume sets out ``session law'' as originally enacted
by Congress and published by the Archivist of the United States
as ``slip law'' and later in the series United States Statutes
at Large (as subsequently amended, if applicable). Amendments
are incorporated into the text and distinguished by a footnote.
Session law is organized in this series by subject matter in a
manner designed to meet the needs of the Congress.
Although laws enacted by Congress in the area of foreign
relations are also codified by the Law Revision Counsel of the
House of Representatives, typically in title 22 United States
Code, those codifications are not positive law and are not, in
most instances, the basis of further amendment by the Congress.
Cross references to the United States Code are included as
footnotes for the convenience of the reader.
All Executive orders and State Department delegations of
authority are codified and in force as of January 11, 2006.
Corrections may be sent to Dianne E. Rennack at Library of
Congress, Congressional Research Service, Washington D.C.,
20540-7460, or by e-mail at drennack@crs.loc.gov.

civilians from their home villages in the Anfal
campaign, killing an estimated 50,000 to 180,000 Kurds.

against Iraqi Kurdish civilian opponents in the town of
Halabja, killing an estimated 5,000 Kurds and causing

month occupation of Kuwait, killing and committing
numerous abuses against Kuwaiti civilians, and setting

requiring Iraq, among other things, to disclose fully
and permit the dismantlement of its weapons of mass
destruction programs and submit to long-term monitoring

(6) In April 1993, Iraq orchestrated a failed plot to
assassinate former President George Bush during his
April 14-16, 1993, visit to Kuwait.

opponents by helping one Kurdish faction capture Irbil,
the seat of the Kurdish regional government.
(9) Since March 1996, Iraq has systematically sought
to deny weapons inspectors from the United Nations
Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM) access to key

PARTICIPATE IN THE REBUILDING OF KUWAIT
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
(1) The Armed Forces of the United States, together
with allied forces, have successfully liberated Kuwait
and have restored the independence of that nation.
(2) During the occupation of Kuwait by Iraq, much
damage was done to the infrastructure, environment, and
industrial capacity of Kuwait, and rebuilding of Kuwait
is desperately needed.
(3) The principal test of a nation's commitment to
the liberation of Kuwait in the Persian Gulf conflict
was its willingness to provide military forces for the
liberation of Kuwait.
(4) United States firms, including small and
minority-owned businesses, have expressed a significant
interest in participating in the rebuilding of Kuwait.
(5) Small and minority-owned businesses face inherent
difficulties in competing in foreign markets and in
obtaining a share of contracts from foreign
governments, particularly those contracts that are
performed in distant parts of the world.
(b) Sense of Congress Concerning Source Selection for
Kuwait Contracts.--It is the sense of Congress that the Army
Corps of Engineers and other Federal agencies should award
contracts for the rebuilding of Kuwait, and, in recommending
business firms to the Government of Kuwait for the award by it
of such contracts, should encourage the Government of Kuwait to
award such contracts, in accordance with the following
priority:
(1) First, to United States firms, including small
and minority-owned businesses, that are committed to
employing United States workers under the contract.

select a firm or firms for the subcontract in accordance with
the priority set out in subsection (b).
(d) Sense of Congress Concerning Employees Under Kuwait
Rebuilding Contracts.--It is the sense of Congress that any
United States firm that receives a contract pertaining to the
rebuilding of Kuwait--
(1) should employ United States citizens to carry out
the contract; and
(2) should provide a preference to veterans of the
Armed Forces in hiring for work on the contract.
(e) Sense of Congress Concerning Small and Minority-Owned
Business Participation in Kuwait Rebuilding Contracts.--It is
the sense of Congress that--
(1) the President, acting through the appropriate
Government agencies (including particularly the
agencies that will be engaged in source selections or
source recommendations as described in subsection (b)),
should take steps to provide assistance to United
States small and minority-owned businesses seeking to
be awarded contracts as part of the rebuilding of
Kuwait;
(2) the Administrator of the Small Business
Administration and other appropriate Federal officials
should conduct a public information campaign to advise
small and minority-owned business firms with respect to
contracts for the rebuilding of Kuwait; and
(3) United States firms that are awarded contracts
pertaining to the rebuilding of Kuwait should, to the
maximum extent practicable, seek to award subcontracts
for such contracts to United States small and minority-
owned business firms.

the purpose of rebuilding Iraq while Saddam Hussein remains in
power in Iraq.

will make contributions to assist the United States in
defraying the incremental costs of Operation Desert Shield and
which has not paid to the United States the full amount so
pledged.

subsection (a) has paid to the United States the full amount
pledged, the Secretary of Defense shall release the amounts
withheld from payment pursuant to subsection (a).

SEC. 586C. TRADE EMBARGO AGAINST IRAQ.
(a) Continuation of Embargo.--Except as otherwise provided in
this section, the President shall continue to impose the trade
embargo and other economic sanctions with respect to Iraq and
Kuwait that the United States is imposing, in response to
Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, pursuant to Executive Orders
Numbered 12724 and 12725 (August 9, 1990) and, to the extent
they are still in effect, Executive Orders Numbered 12722 and
12723 \2\ (August 2, 1990). Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no funds, credits, guarantees, or insurance
appropriated or otherwise made available by this or any other
Act for fiscal year 1991 or any fiscal year thereafter shall be
used to support or administer any financial or commercial
operation of any United States Government department, agency,
or other entity, or of any person subject to the jurisdiction
of the United States, for the benefit of the Government of
Iraq, its agencies or instrumentalities, or any person working
on behalf of the Government of Iraq, contrary to the trade
embargo and other economic sanctions imposed in accordance with
this section.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Executive Orders 12723 and 12725, relating to Kuwait, were
revoked by Executive Order 12771 of July 25, 1991 (56 F.R. 35993; July
29, 1991). The national emergency with respect to Iraq detailed in
Executive Orders 12722 and 12724 was extended by unnumbered notice on
July 26, 1991 (56 F.R. 35995; July 29, 1991).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Humanitarian Assistance.--To the extent that transactions
involving foodstuffs or payments for foodstuffs are exempted
``in humanitarian circumstances'' from the prohibitions
established by the United States pursuant to United Nations
Security Council Resolution 661 (1990), those exemptions shall
be limited to foodstuffs that are to be provided consistent
with United Nations Security Council Resolution 666 (1990) and
other relevant Security Council resolutions.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ United Nations Security Council Resolution 678, adopted
November 29, 1990, recalled and reaffirmed the intentions of earlier
U.N. resolutions relating to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on August 2,
1990. Earlier resolutions, in part: condemned the Iraqi invasion of
Kuwait, demanded that Iraq withdraw immediately and unconditionally
from Kuwait, called upon Iraq and Kuwait to begin negotiations for the
resolution of their differences (Resolution 660 adopted August 2,
1990); prevented trade relations between Iraq and U.N. Member States,
or the import of any Iraqi or Kuwaiti products, and established a
Committee of the Security Council to examine progress of this trade
embargo (Resolution 661 adopted August 6, 1990); determined that the
annexation of Kuwait by Iraq had no legal validity (Resolution 662 of
August 9, 1990); demanded that Iraq facilitate and permit the immediate
departure from Kuwait and Iraq of third country citizens (Resolution
664 adopted August 18, 1990); called upon Member States to blockade
maritime activity to the region (Resolution 665 adopted August 25,
1990); considered an exemption of the trade embargo for foodstuffs to
Iraq and Kuwait (Resolution 666 adopted September 13, 1990); condemned
Iraq's aggressions against international diplomatic premises and
personnel in Kuwait (Resolution 667 adopted September 16, 1990);
expanded responsibilities of the Committee established under Resolution
661 (Resolution 669 adopted September 14, 1990); further defined the
trade embargo to include air traffic, and called upon Member States to
detain Iraqi ships in port (Resolution 670 adopted September 25, 1990);
condemned the taking of third nation nationals hostage, and condemned
the destruction of Kuwaiti property by Iraq (Resolution 674 adopted
October 29, 1990); and condemned Iraqi attempts to alter the
demographic composition of the Kuwaiti population (Resolution 677
adopted November 28, 1990).
Resolution 678, adopted by the U.N. Security Council on November
29, 1990, in part:
``Demands that Iraq comply fully with resolutions 660 (1990) and
all subsequent relevant resolutions, and decides, while maintaining all
its decisions, to allow Iraq one final opportunity, as a pause of
goodwill, to do so;
``Authorizes Member States cooperating with the Government of
Kuwait, unless Iraq on or before 15 January 1991 fully implements, as
set forth in paragraph 1 above, the foregoing resolutions, to use all
necessary means to uphold and implement resolution 660 (1990) and all
subsequent relevant resolutions and to restore international peace and
security in the area;''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) Notice to Congress of Exceptions to and Termination of
Sanctions.--
(1) Notice of regulations.--Any regulations issued
after the date of enactment of this Act with respect to
the economic sanctions imposed with respect to Iraq and
Kuwait by the United States under Executive Orders

Orders Numbered 12724 and 12725 (August 9, 1990) \2\
shall be submitted to the Congress before those
regulations take effect.
(2) Notice of termination of sanctions.--The
President shall notify the Congress at least 15 days
before the termination, in whole or in part, of any
sanction imposed with respect to Iraq or Kuwait
pursuant to those Executive orders.
(d) Relation to Other Laws.--
(1) Sanctions legislation.--The sanctions that are
described in subsection (a) are in addition to, and not
in lieu of the sanctions provided for in section 586G
of this Act or any other provision of law.
(2) National emergencies and united nations
legislation.--Nothing in this section supersedes any
provision of the National Emergencies Act or any
authority of the President under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act or section 5(a) of the
United Nations Participation Act of 1945.
SEC. 586D.\4\ COMPLIANCE WITH UNITED NATIONS SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAQ.
(a) Denial of Assistance.--None of the funds appropriated or
otherwise made available pursuant to this Act to carry out the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (including title IV of chapter 2
of part I, relating to the Overseas Private Investment
Corporation) or the Arms Export Control Act may be used to
provide assistance to any country that is not in compliance
with the United Nations Security Council sanctions against Iraq
unless the President determines and so certifies to the
Congress that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ In Presidential Determination No. 91-46 of July 13, 1991, the
President invoked the authority of this section when he determined and
certified ``that assistance for Jordan under chapter 4 of part II of
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and under section 23 of
the Arms Export Control Act, is in the national interest of the United
States.''. He further determined, by virtue of authority given in sec.
502(c) of Public Law 102-27, that such assistance ``would be beneficial
to the peace process in the Middle East'' (56 F.R. 33839; July 24,
1991).
In Presidential Determination No. 91-53 of September 16, 1991, the
President made the same determinations regarding assistance for Jordan
under chapter 5 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as
amended (56 F.R. 49837; October 2, 1991).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) such assistance is in the national interest of
the United States;
(2) such assistance will directly benefit the needy
people in that country; or
(3) the assistance to be provided will be
humanitarian assistance for foreign nationals who have
fled Iraq and Kuwait.
(b) Import Sanctions.--If the President considers that the
taking of such action would promote the effectiveness of the
economic sanctions of the United Nations and the United States
imposed with respect to Iraq, and is consistent with the
national interest, the President may prohibit, for such a
period of time as he considers appropriate, the importation
into the United States of any or all products of any foreign
country that has not prohibited--
(1) the importation of products of Iraq into its
customs territory, and
(2) the export of its products to Iraq.

SEC. 586F. DECLARATIONS REGARDING IRAQ'S LONG-STANDING VIOLATIONS OF
INTERNATIONAL LAW.
(a) Iraq's Violations of International Law.--The Congress
determines that--
(1) the Government of Iraq has demonstrated repeated
and blatant disregard for its obligations under
international law by violating the Charter of the
United Nations, the Protocol for the Prohibition of the
Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or Other Gases,
and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare (done at
Geneva, June 17, 1925), as well as other international
treaties;
(2) the Government of Iraq is a party to the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and
Cultural Rights and is obligated under the Covenants,
as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
to respect internationally recognized human rights;
(3) the State Department's Country Reports on Human
Rights Practices for 1989 again characterizes Iraq's
human rights record as ``abysmal'';
(4) Amnesty International, Middle East Watch, and
other independent human rights organizations have
documented extensive, systematic, and continuing human
rights abuses by the Government of Iraq, including
summary executions, mass political killings,
disappearances, widespread use of torture, arbitrary
arrests and prolonged detention without trial of
thousands of political opponents, forced relocation and
deportation, denial of nearly all civil and political
rights such as freedom of association, assembly,
speech, and the press, and the imprisonment, torture,
and execution of children;
(5) since 1987, the Government of Iraq has
intensified its severe repression of the Kurdish
minority of Iraq, deliberately destroyed more than
3,000 villages and towns in the Kurdish regions, and
forcibly expelled more than 500,000 people, thus
effectively depopulating the rural areas of Iraqi
Kurdistan;
(6) Iraq has blatantly violated international law by
initiating use of chemical weapons in the Iran-Iraq
war;
(7) Iraq has also violated international law by using
chemical weapons against its own Kurdish citizens,
resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and more than
65,000 refugees;
(8) Iraq continues to expand its chemical weapons
capability, and President Saddam Hussein has threatened
to use chemical weapons against other nations;
(9) persuasive evidence exists that Iraq is
developing biological weapons in violation of
international law;
(10) there are strong indications that Iraq has taken
steps to produce nuclear weapons and has attempted to
smuggle from the United States, in violation of United
States law, components for triggering devices used in
nuclear warheads whose manufacture would contravene the
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, to
which Iraq is a party; and
(11) Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has threatened to
use terrorism against other nations in violation of
international law and has increased Iraq's support for
the Palestine Liberation Organization and other
Palestinian groups that have conducted terrorist acts.
(b) Human Rights Violations.--The Congress determines that
the Government of Iraq is engaged in a consistent pattern of
gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.
All provisions of law that impose sanctions against a country
whose government is engaged in a consistent pattern of gross
violations of internationally recognized human rights shall be
fully enforced against Iraq.
(c) Support for International Terrorism.--(1) The Congress
determines that Iraq is a country which has repeatedly provided
support for acts of international terrorism, a country which
grants sanctuary from prosecution to individuals or groups
which have committed an act of international terrorism, and a
country which otherwise supports international terrorism. The
provisions of law specified in paragraph (2) and all other
provisions of law that impose sanctions against a country which
has repeatedly provided support for acts of international
terrorism, which grants sanctuary from prosecution to an
individual or group which has committed an act of international
terrorism, or which otherwise supports international terrorism
shall be fully enforced against Iraq.
(2) The provisions of law referred to in paragraph (1) are--
(A) section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act;
(B) section 620A of the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961;

corresponding sections of predecessor foreign
operations appropriations Acts); and
(D) section 555 of the International Security and
Development Cooperation Act of 1985.
(d) Multilateral Cooperation.--The Congress calls on the
President to seek multilateral cooperation--
(1) to deny dangerous technologies to Iraq;
(2) to induce Iraq to respect internationally
recognized human rights; and
(3) to induce Iraq to allow appropriate international
humanitarian and human rights organizations to have
access to Iraq and Kuwait, including the areas in
northern Iraq traditionally inhabited by Kurds.

b. Assistance to Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union
(1) Belarus Democracy Act of 2004
Public Law 108-347 [H.R. 854], 118 Stat. 1383, approved October 20,
2004
AN ACT To provide for the promotion of democracy, human rights, and
rule of law in the Republic of Belarus and for the consolidation and
strengthening of Belarus sovereignty and independence.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1.\1\ SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Belarus Democracy Act of
2004''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 22 U.S.C. 5811 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 2.\1\ FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States supports the promotion of
democracy, respect for human rights, and the rule of
law in the Republic of Belarus consistent with its
commitments as a participating state of the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe
(OSCE).
(2) The United States has a vital interest in the
independence and sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus
and its integration into the European community of
democracies.
(3) In November 1996, Lukashenka orchestrated an
illegal and unconstitutional referendum that enabled
him to impose a new constitution, abolish the duly-
elected parliament, the 13th Supreme Soviet, install a
largely powerless National Assembly, and extend his
term of office to 2001.
(4) Democratic forces in Belarus have organized
peaceful demonstrations against the Lukashenka regime
in cities and towns throughout Belarus which led to
beatings, mass arrests, and extended incarcerations.
(5) Victor Gonchar, Anatoly Krasovsky, and Yuri
Zakharenka, who have been leaders and supporters of the
democratic forces in Belarus, and Dmitry Zavadsky, a
journalist known for his critical reporting in Belarus,
have disappeared and are presumed dead.
(6) Former Belarus Government officials have come
forward with credible allegations and evidence that top
officials of the Lukashenka regime were involved in the
disappearances.
(7) The Belarusian authorities have mounted a major
systematic crackdown on civil society through the
closure, harassment, and repression of nongovernmental
organizations, and independent trade unions.
(8) The Belarusian authorities actively suppress
freedom of speech and expression, including engaging in
systematic reprisals against independent media.
(9) The Lukashenka regime has reversed the revival of
Belarusian language and culture, including through the
closure of the National Humanities Lyceum, the last
remaining high school where classes were taught in the
Belarusian language.
(10) The Lukashenka regime harasses the autocephalic
Belarusian Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church,
the Jewish community, the Hindu Lights of Kalyasa
community, evangelical Protestant churches (such as
Baptist and Pentecostal groups), and other minority
religious groups.
(11) The Law on Religious Freedom and Religious
Organizations, passed by the National Assembly and
signed by Lukashenka on October 31, 2002, establishes
one of the most repressive legal regimes in the OSCE
region, severely limiting religious freedom and placing
excessively burdensome government controls on religious
practice.
(12) The parliamentary elections of October 15, 2000,
and the presidential election of September 9, 2001,
were determined to be fundamentally unfair and
nondemocratic.

(2) Russian Democracy Act of 2002

AN ACT To make available funds under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961
to expand democracy, good governance, and anti-corruption programs in
the Russian Federation in order to promote and strengthen democratic
government and civil society and independent media in that country.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1.\1\ SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Russian Democracy Act of
2002''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 22 U.S.C. 2151 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 2.\2\ FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 22 U.S.C. 2295 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the
leadership of the Russian Federation has publicly
committed itself to building--
(A) a society with democratic political
institutions and practices, the observance of
universally recognized standards of human
rights, and religious and press freedom; and
(B) a market economy based on internationally
accepted principles of transparency,
accountability, and the rule of law.
(2) In order to facilitate this transition, the
international community has provided multilateral and
bilateral technical assistance, and the United States'
contribution to these efforts has played an important
role in developing new institutions built on democratic
and liberal economic foundations and the rule of law.
(3)(A) Since 1992, United States Government
democratic reform programs and public diplomacy
programs, including training, and small grants have
provided access to and training in the use of the
Internet, brought nearly 40,000 Russian citizens to the
United States, and have led to the establishment of
more than 65,000 nongovernmental organizations,
thousands of independent local media outlets, despite
governmental opposition, and numerous political
parties.
(B) These efforts contributed to the substantially
free and fair Russian parliamentary elections in 1995
and 1999.
(4) The United States has assisted Russian efforts to
replace its centrally planned, state-controlled economy
with a market economy and helped create institutions
and infrastructure for a market economy. Approximately
two-thirds of the Russian Federation's gross domestic
product is now generated by the private sector, and the
United States recognized Russia as a market economy on
June 7, 2002.
(5)(A) The United States has fostered grassroots
entrepreneurship in the Russian Federation by focusing
United States economic assistance on small- and medium-
sized businesses and by providing training, consulting
services, and small loans to more than 250,000 Russian
entrepreneurs.
(B) There are now more than 900,000 small businesses
in the Russian Federation, producing 12 to 15 percent,
depending on the estimate, of the gross domestic
product of the Russian Federation.
(C) United States-funded programs have contributed to
fighting corruption and financial crime, such as money
laundering, by helping to--
(i) establish a commercial legal
infrastructure;
(ii) develop an independent judiciary;
(iii) support the drafting of a new criminal
code, civil code, and bankruptcy law;
(iv) develop a legal and regulatory framework
for the Russian Federation's equivalent of the
United States Securities and Exchange
Commission;
(v) support Russian law schools;
(vi) create legal aid clinics; and
(vii) bolster law-related activities of
nongovernmental organizations.
(6) Because the capability of Russian democratic
forces and the civil society to organize and defend
democratic gains without international support is
uncertain, and because the gradual integration of the
Russian Federation into the global order of free-
market, democratic nations would enhance Russian
cooperation with the United States on a wide range of
political, economic, and security issues, the success
of democracy in Russia is in the national security
interest of the United States, and the United States
Government should develop a far-reaching and flexible
strategy aimed at strengthening Russian society's
support for democracy and a market economy,
particularly by enhancing Russian democratic
institutions and education, promoting the rule of law,
and supporting Russia's independent media.
(7) Since the tragic events of September 11, 2001,
the Russian Federation has stood with the United States
and the rest of the civilized world in the struggle
against terrorism and has cooperated in the war in
Afghanistan by sharing intelligence and through other
means.
(8) United States-Russia relations have improved,
leading to a successful summit between President Bush
and President Putin in May 2002, resulting in a
``Foundation for Cooperation''.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to strengthen and advance institutions of
democratic government and of free and independent
media, and to sustain the development of an independent
civil society in the Russian Federation based on
religious and ethnic tolerance, internationally
recognized human rights, and an internationally
recognized rule of law; and
(2) to focus United States foreign assistance
programs on using local expertise and to give local
organizations a greater role in designing and
implementing such programs, while maintaining
appropriate oversight and monitoring.
SEC. 3.\2\ UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the United States Government should--
(1) recognize that a democratic and economically
stable Russian Federation is inherently less
confrontational and destabilizing in its foreign policy
and therefore that the promotion of democracy in Russia
is in the national security interests of the United
States; and
(2) continue and increase assistance to the
democratic forces in the Russian Federation, including
the independent media, regional administrations,
democratic political parties, and nongovernmental
organizations.
(b) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the
United States--
(1) to facilitate Russia's integration into the
Western community of nations, including supporting the
establishment of a stable democracy and a market
economy within the framework of the rule of law and
respect for individual rights, including Russia's
membership in the appropriate international
institutions;
(2) to engage the Government of the Russian
Federation and Russian society in order to strengthen
democratic reform and institutions, and to promote
transparency and good governance in all aspects of
society, including fair and honest business practices,
accessible and open legal systems, freedom of religion,
and respect for human rights;
(3) to advance a dialogue among United States
Government officials, private sector individuals, and
representatives of the Government of the Russian
Federation regarding Russia's integration into the
Western community of nations;
(4) to encourage United States Government officials
and private sector individuals to meet regularly with
democratic activists, human rights activists,
representatives of the independent media,
representatives of nongovernmental organizations, civic
organizers, church officials, and reform-minded
politicians from Moscow and all other regions of the
Russian Federation;
(5) to incorporate democratic reforms, the promotion
of independent media, and economic reforms in a broader
United States dialogue with the Government of the
Russian Federation;
(6) to encourage the Government of the Russian
Federation to address, in a cooperative and transparent
manner consistent with internationally recognized and
accepted principles, cross-border issues, including the
nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction,
environmental degradation, crime, trafficking, and
corruption;
(7) to consult with the Government of the Russian
Federation and the Russian Parliament on the adoption
of economic and social reforms necessary to sustain
Russian economic growth and to ensure Russia's
transition to a fully functioning market economy and
membership in the World Trade Organization;
(8) to persuade the Government of the Russian
Federation to honor its commitments made to the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe
(OSCE) at the November 1999 Istanbul Conference, and to
conduct a genuine good neighbor policy toward the other
independent states of the former Soviet Union in the
spirit of internationally accepted principles of
regional cooperation; and
(9) to encourage the G-8 partners and international
financial institutions, including the World Bank, the
International Monetary Fund, and the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, to develop financial
safeguards and transparency practices in lending to the
Russian Federation.

AN ACT For reform in emerging new democracies and support and help for
improved partnership with Russia, Ukraine, and other new independent
states of the former Soviet Union.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLES.
This Act may be cited as the ``Act For Reform In Emerging
New Democracies and Support and Help for Improved Partnership
with Russia, Ukraine, and Other New Independent States'' or as
the ``FRIENDSHIP Act''.
SEC. 2. TABLE OF CONTENTS.
The table of contents for this Act is as follows: * * *
SEC. 3. DEFINITION.
As used in this Act (including the amendments made by this
Act), the terms ``independent states of the former Soviet
Union'' and ``independent states'' have the meaning given those
terms by section 3 of the Freedom for Russia and Emerging
Eurasian Democracies and Open Markets Support Act of 1992 (22
U.S.C. 5801).
TITLE I--POLICY OF FRIENDSHIP AND COOPERATION
SEC. 101. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.
The purpose of this Act is to amend or repeal numerous
statutory provisions that restrict or otherwise impede normal
relations between the United States and the Russian Federation,
Ukraine, and the other independent states of the former Soviet
Union. All of the statutory provisions amended or repealed by
this Act were relevant and appropriate at the time of
enactment, but with the end of the Cold War, they have become
obsolete. It is not the purpose of this Act to rewrite or erase
history, or to forget those who suffered in the past from the
injustices or repression of communist regimes in the Soviet
Union, but rather to update United States law to reflect
changed international circumstances and to demonstrate for
reformers and democrats in the independent states of the former
Soviet Union the resolve of the people of the United States to
support the process of democratic and economic reform and to
conduct business with those states in a new spirit of
friendship and cooperation.
SEC. 102. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds and declares as follows:
(1) The Vancouver Declaration issued by President
Clinton and President Yeltsin in April 1993 marked a
new milestone in the development of the spirit of
cooperation and partnership between the United States
and Russia. The Congress affirms its support for the
principles contained in the Vancouver Declaration.
(2) The Vancouver Declaration underscored that--
(A) a dynamic and effective partnership
between the United States and Russia is vital
to the success of Russia's historic
transformation;
(B) the rapid integration of Russia into the
community of democratic nations and the world
economy is important to the national interest
of the United States; and
(C) cooperation between the United States and
Russia is essential to the peaceful resolution
of international conflicts and the promotion of
democratic values, the protection of human
rights, and the solution of global problems
such as environmental pollution, terrorism, and
narcotics trafficking.
(3) The Congress enacted the FREEDOM Support Act
(Public Law 102-511), as well as other legislation such
as the Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991
(title II of Public Law 102-228) and the Former Soviet
Union Demilitarization Act of 1992 (title XIV of Public
Law 102-484), to help meet the historic opportunities
and challenges presented by the transformation that has
taken place, and is continuing to take place, in what
once was the Soviet Union.
(4) The process of reform in Russia, Ukraine, and the
other independent states of the former Soviet Union is
ongoing. The holding of a referendum in Russia on April
25, 1993, that was free and fair, and that reflected
the support of the Russian people for the process of
continued and strengthened democratic and economic
reform, represents an important and encouraging
hallmark in this ongoing process.
(5) There remain in force many United States laws
that are relics of the Cold War, and repeals or
revisions of these provisions can play an important
role in efforts to foster and strengthen the bonds of
trust and friendship, as well as mutually beneficial
trade and economic relations, between the United States
and Russia, the United States and Ukraine, and the
United States and the other independent states of the
former Soviet Union.
SEC. 103. STATUTORY PROVISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN APPLICABLE TO THE SOVIET
UNION.
(a) In General.--There are numerous statutory provisions
that were enacted in the context of United States relations
with a country, the Soviet Union, that are fundamentally
different from the relations that now exist between the United
States and Russia, between the United States and Ukraine, and
between the United States and the other independent states of
the former Soviet Union.
(b) Extent of Such Provisions.--Many of the provisions
referred to in subsection (a) imposed limitations specifically
with respect to the Soviet Union, and its constituent
republics, or utilized language that reflected the tension that
existed between the United States and the Soviet Union at the
time of their enactment. Other such provisions did not refer
specifically to the Soviet Union, but nonetheless were directed
(or may be construed as having been directed) against the
Soviet Union on the basis of the relations that formerly
existed between the United States and the Soviet Union,
particularly in its role as the leading communist country.
(c) Findings and Affirmation.--The Congress finds and
affirms that provisions such as those described in this
section, including--
(1) section 216 of the State Department Basic
Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 4316),
(2) sections 136 and 804 of the Foreign Relations
Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1986 and 1987 (Public
Law 99-93),
(3) section 1222 of the Foreign Relations
Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989 (Public
Law 100-204; 101 Stat. 1411),
(4) the Multilateral Export Control Enhancement
Amendments Act (50 U.S.C. 2410 note, et seq.),
(5) the joint resolution providing for the
designation of ``Captive Nations Week'' (Public Law 86-
90),
(6) the Communist Control Act of 1954 (Public Law 83-
637),
(7) provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act
(8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.), including sections 101(a)(40),
101(e)(3), and 313(a)(3),
(8) section 2 of the joint resolution entitled ``A
joint resolution to promote peace and stability in the
Middle East'', approved March 9, 1957 (Public Law 85-
7), and
(9) section 43 of the Bretton Woods Agreements Act
(22 U.S.C. 286aa),
should not be construed as being directed against Russia,
Ukraine, or the other independent states of the former Soviet
Union, connoting an adversarial relationship between the United
States and the independent states, or signifying or implying in
any manner unfriendliness toward the independent states.
TITLE II--TRADE AND BUSINESS RELATIONS
SEC. 201. POLICY UNDER EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACT.
(a) Conforming Amendments.--* * *
(b) Policy Regarding KAL.--
(1) The Congress finds that--
(A) President Yeltsin should be commended for
meeting personally with representatives of the
families of the victims of the shootdown of
Korean Airlines (KAL) Flight 7;
(B) President Yeltsin's Government has met on
two separate occasions with United States
Government and family members to answer
questions associated with the shootdown and has
arranged for the families to interview Russians
involved in the incident or the search and
rescue operations that followed;
(C) President Yeltsin's Government has also
cooperated fully with the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) to allow it to
complete its investigation of the incident and
has provided numerous materials requested by
the ICAO, including radar data and so-called
``black boxes'', the digital flight data and
cockpit voice recorders from the flight;
(D) the Export Administration Act of 1979
continues to state that the United States
should continue to object to exceptions to the
International Control List for the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics in light of the KAL
tragedy, even though the ``no exceptions''
policy was rescinded by President Bush in 1990;
(E) the Government of the United States is
seeking compensation from the Russian
Government on behalf of the families of the KAL
victims, and the Congress expects the
Administration to continue to pursue issues
related to the shootdown, including that of
compensation, with officials at the highest
level of the Russian Government; and
(F) in view of the cooperation provided by
President Yeltsin and his government regarding
the KAL incident and these other developments,
it is appropriate to remove such language from
the Export Administration Act of 1979.

means;
(2) the imperialist regimes of international
communism have brutally suppressed the human rights,
national independence, religious liberty, intellectual

captive nations;
(3) there is a danger that the heroic sacrifices of
the victims of communism may be forgotten as
international communism and its imperial bases continue

expenses of the establishment of the memorial, including the
maintenance and preservation amount provided for in section
8(b) of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide standards for
placement of commemorative works on certain Federal lands in
the District of Columbia and its environs, and for other
purposes'', approved November 14, 1986 (40 U.S.C. 1008(b)), or

TITLE I--GENERAL PROVISIONS
SEC. 101.\3\ FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 22 U.S.C. 5811.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) recent developments in Russia and the other
independent states of the former Soviet Union present
an historic opportunity for a transition to a peaceful
and stable international order and the integration of
the independent states of the former Soviet Union into
the community of democratic nations;
(2) the entire international community has a vital
interest in the success of this transition, and the
dimension of the problems now faced in the independent
states of the former Soviet Union makes it imperative
for donor countries and institutions to provide the
expertise and support necessary to ensure continued
progress on economic and political reforms;
(3) the United States is especially well-positioned
because of its heritage and traditions to make a
substantial contribution to this transition by building
on current technical cooperation, medical, and food
assistance programs, by assisting in the development of
democratic institutions, and by fostering conditions
that will encourage the United States business
community to engage in trade and investment;
(4) failure to meet the opportunities presented by
these developments could threaten United States
national security interests and jeopardize substantial
savings in United States defense that these
developments have made possible;
(5) the independent states of the former Soviet Union
face unprecedented environmental problems that
jeopardize the quality of life and the very existence
of not only their own peoples but also the peoples of
other countries, and it is incumbent on the
international community to assist the independent
states in addressing these problems and in promoting
sustainable use of resources and development;
(6) the success of United States assistance for the
independent states of the former Soviet Union depends
on--
(A) effective coordination of United States
efforts with similar activities of friendly and
allied donor countries and of international
financial institutions, and
(B) reciprocal commitments by the governments
of the independent states to work toward the
creation of democratic institutions and an
environment hospitable to foreign investment
based upon the rule of law, including
negotiation of bilateral and multilateral
agreements on open trade and investment,
adoption of commercial codes, establishment of
transparency in regulatory and other
governmental decision making, and timely
payment of obligations carried over from
previous governmental entities; and
(7) trade and investment opportunities in the
independent states of the former Soviet Union will
generate employment and other economic benefits for the
United States as the economies of the independent
states of the former Soviet Union begin to realize
their enormous potential as both customers and
suppliers.

system, enhance the opportunities for trade, improve the
climate for foreign investment, and strengthen the process of
transformation of the former socialist economies into free

TITLE III--EMERGENCY AIRLIFT AND OTHER SUPPORT
SEC. 301.\3\ AUTHORITY TO TRANSFER CERTAIN FUNDS TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY
AIRLIFT AND OTHER SUPPORT.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ While this section was enacted to authorize the transfer of
funds for Soviet humanitarian assistance, Public Law 102-229 (105 Stat.
1701) originally referred to sec. 301 of H.R. 3807, as passed by the
Senate on November 25, 1991, when it appropriated funds or transferred
funds for that assistance. In a January 21, 1992, memorandum for the
Secretary of Defense (57 F.R. 3111; January 28, 1992), the President
also referred to sec. 301 of H.R. 3807, as passed by the Senate on
November 25, 1991, when he directed the Secretary of Defense to make
certain transfers, and delegated certain authorities and duties to the
Secretary.
Subsequently, sec. 1421(b) of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484; 106 Stat. 2565) made
technical corrections to Public Law 102-229 to omit references to H.R.
3807 and insert in lieu thereof references to this Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) that political and economic conditions within the
Soviet Union and its republics are unstable and are
likely to remain so for the foreseeable future;
(2) that these conditions could lead to the return of
antidemocratic forces in the Soviet Union;
(3) that one of the most effective means of
preventing such a situation is likely to be the
immediate provision of humanitarian assistance; and
(4) that should this need arise, the United States
should have funds readily available to provide for the
transport of such assistance to the Soviet Union, its
republics, and any successor entities.
(b) Authority to Transfer Certain Funds.--
(1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, the Secretary of Defense, at the direction of
the President, may during fiscal year 1992, to the
extent provided in an appropriations Act or joint
resolution, transfer to the appropriate defense
accounts sufficient funds, not to exceed $100,000,000,
from funds described in paragraph (3) in order to
transport, by military or commercial means, food,
medical supplies, and other types of humanitarian
assistance to the Soviet Union, its republics, or any
successor entities--with the consent of the relevant
republic government or independent successor entity--in
order to address emergency conditions which may arise
in such republic or successor entity, as determined by
the President. As used in this subsection, the term
``humanitarian assistance'' does not include
construction equipment, including tractors, scrapers,
loaders, graders, bulldozers, dumptrucks, generators,
and compressors.
(2) Reports by the secretary of state.--The Secretary
of State shall promptly report to the President
regarding any emergency conditions which may require
such humanitarian assistance. The Secretary's report
shall include an estimate of the extent of need for
such assistance, discuss whether the consent of the
relevant republic government or independent successor
entity has been given for the delivery of such
assistance, describe steps other nations and
organizations are prepared to take in response to an
emergency, and discuss the foreign policy implications,
if any, of providing such assistance.
(3) Source of funds.--Any funds which are transferred
pursuant to this subsection shall be drawn from amounts
appropriated to the Department of Defense for fiscal
year 1992 or from balances in working capital accounts
established under section 2208 of title 10, United
States Code.
(4) Emergency requirements.--The Congress designates
all funds transferred pursuant to this section as
``emergency requirements'' for all purposes of the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of
1985. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, funds
shall be available for transfer pursuant to this
section only if, not later than the date of enactment
of the appropriations Act or joint resolution that
makes funds available for transfer pursuant to this
section, the President, in a single designation,
designates the entire amount of funds made available
for such transfer by that appropriations Act or joint
resolution to be ``emergency requirements'' for all
purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985.
(c) Repayment Arrangements.--
(1) Reimbursement arrangements.--Assistance provided
under subsection (b) to the Soviet Union, any of its
republics, or any successor entity shall be
conditioned, to the extent that the President
determines to be appropriate after consultation with
the recipient government, upon the agreement of the
recipient government to reimburse the United States
Government for the cost of such assistance from natural
resources or other materials available to the recipient
government.
(2) Natural resources, etc.--The President shall
encourage the satisfaction of such reimbursement
arrangements through the provision of natural
resources, such as oil and petroleum products and
critical and strategic materials, and industrial goods.
Materials received by the United States Government
pursuant to this subsection that are suitable for
inclusion in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve or the
National Defense Stockpile may be deposited in the
reserve or stockpile without reimbursement. Other
material and services received may be sold or traded on
the domestic or international market with the proceeds
to be deposited in the General Fund of the Treasury.
(d) Dire Emergency Supplemental Appropriations.--It is the
sense of the Senate that the committee of conference on House
Joint Resolution 157 should consider providing the necessary
authority in the conference agreement for the Secretary of
Defense to transfer funds pursuant to this title.
SEC. 302. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 2. STATEMENT OF POLICY.
It is the policy of the United States to support the people
of Zimbabwe in their struggle to effect peaceful, democratic
change, achieve broad-based and equitable economic growth, and
restore the rule of law.
SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.
In this Act:
(1) International financial institutions.--The term
``international financial institutions'' means the
multilateral development banks and the International
Monetary Fund.
(2) Multilateral development banks.--The term
``multilateral development banks'' means the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development,
the International Development Association, the
International Finance Corporation, the Inter-American
Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the
Inter-American Investment Corporation, the African
Development Bank, the African Development Fund, the
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and
the Multilateral Investment Guaranty Agency.
SEC. 4. SUPPORT FOR DEMOCRATIC TRANSITION AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Through economic mismanagement, undemocratic
practices, and the costly deployment of troops to the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Government of
Zimbabwe has rendered itself ineligible to participate
in International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development and International Monetary Fund programs,
which would otherwise be providing substantial
resources to assist in the recovery and modernization
of Zimbabwe's economy. The people of Zimbabwe have thus
been denied the economic and democratic benefits
envisioned by the donors to such programs, including
the United States.
(2) In September 1999 the IMF suspended its support
under a ``Stand By Arrangement'', approved the previous
month, for economic adjustment and reform in Zimbabwe.
(3) In October 1999, the International Development
Association (in this section referred to as the
``IDA'') suspended all structural adjustment loans,
credits, and guarantees to the Government of Zimbabwe.
(4) In May 2000, the IDA suspended all other new
lending to the Government of Zimbabwe.
(5) In September 2000, the IDA suspended disbursement
of funds for ongoing projects under previously-approved
loans, credits, and guarantees to the Government of
Zimbabwe.
(b) Support for Democratic Transition and Economic
Recovery.--
(1) Bilateral debt relief.--Upon receipt by the
appropriate congressional committees of a certification
described in subsection (d), the Secretary of the
Treasury shall undertake a review of the feasibility of
restructuring, rescheduling, or eliminating the
sovereign debt of Zimbabwe held by any agency of the
United States Government.
(2) Multilateral debt relief and other financial
assistance.--It is the sense of Congress that, upon
receipt by the appropriate congressional committees of
a certification described in subsection (d), the
Secretary of the Treasury should--
(A) direct the United States executive
director of each multilateral development bank
to propose that the bank should undertake a
review of the feasibility of restructuring,
rescheduling, or eliminating the sovereign debt
of Zimbabwe held by that bank; and
(B) direct the United States executive
director of each international financial
institution to which the United States is a
member to propose to undertake financial and
technical support for Zimbabwe, especially
support that is intended to promote Zimbabwe's
economic recovery and development, the
stabilization of the Zimbabwean dollar, and the
viability of Zimbabwe's democratic
institutions.
(c) Multilateral Financing Restriction.--Until the
President makes the certification described in subsection (d),
and except as may be required to meet basic human needs or for
good governance, the Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct
the United States executive director to each international
financial institution to oppose and vote against--
(1) any extension by the respective institution of
any loan, credit, or guarantee to the Government of
Zimbabwe; or
(2) any cancellation or reduction of indebtedness
owed by the Government of Zimbabwe to the United States
or any international financial institution.
(d) Presidential Certification That Certain Conditions Are
Satisfied.--A certification under this subsection is a
certification transmitted to the appropriate congressional
committees of a determination made by the President that the
following conditions are satisfied:

has been restored in Zimbabwe, including respect for
ownership and title to property, freedom of speech and
association, and an end to the lawlessness, violence,
and intimidation sponsored, condoned, or tolerated by
the Government of Zimbabwe, the ruling party, and their
supporters or entities.
(2) Election or pre-election conditions.--Either of
the following two conditions is satisfied:
(A) Presidential election.--Zimbabwe has held
a presidential election that is widely accepted
as free and fair by independent international
monitors, and the president-elect is free to
assume the duties of the office.
(B) Pre-election conditions.--In the event
the certification is made before the
presidential election takes place, the
Government of Zimbabwe has sufficiently
improved the pre-election environment to a
degree consistent with accepted international
standards for security and freedom of movement
and association.
(3) Commitment to equitable, legal, and transparent
land reform.--The Government of Zimbabwe has
demonstrated a commitment to an equitable, legal, and
transparent land reform program consistent with
agreements reached at the International Donors'
Conference on Land Reform and Resettlement in Zimbabwe
held in Harare, Zimbabwe, in September 1998.
(4) Fulfillment of agreement ending war in democratic
republic of congo.--The Government of Zimbabwe is
making a good faith effort to fulfill the terms of the
Lusaka, Zambia, agreement on ending the war in the
Democratic Republic of Congo.

civilian government.--The Zimbabwean Armed Forces, the
National Police of Zimbabwe, and other state security
forces are responsible to and serve the elected
civilian government.

September 1998, or any subsequent agreement relating
thereto; and
(3) provide for democracy and governance programs in
Zimbabwe.

carry out part I and chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 for fiscal year 2002--

supersedes any other provision of law.
SEC. 6. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN AGAINST
INDIVIDUALS RESPONSIBLE FOR VIOLENCE AND THE
BREAKDOWN OF THE RULE OF LAW IN ZIMBABWE.
It is the sense of Congress that the President should begin
immediate consultation with the governments of European Union
member states, Canada, and other appropriate foreign countries
on ways in which to--
(1) identify and share information regarding
individuals responsible for the deliberate breakdown of
the rule of law, politically motivated violence, and
intimidation in Zimbabwe;

(2) African Growth and Opportunity Act

H.R. 4283], 114 Stat. 251, approved May 18, 2000

TITLE I--EXTENSION OF CERTAIN TRADE BENEFITS TO SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
Subtitle A--Trade Policy for Sub-Saharan Africa
SEC. 101.\1\ SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``African Growth and
Opportunity Act''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 19 U.S.C. 3701 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 102.\2\ FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 19 U.S.C. 3701.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) it is in the mutual interest of the United States
and the countries of sub-Saharan Africa to promote
stable and sustainable economic growth and development
in sub-Saharan Africa;
(2) the 48 countries of sub-Saharan Africa form a
region richly endowed with both natural and human
resources;
(3) sub-Saharan Africa represents a region of
enormous economic potential and of enduring political
significance to the United States;
(4) the region has experienced the strengthening of
democracy as countries in sub-Saharan Africa have taken
steps to encourage broader participation in the
political process;
(5) certain countries in sub-Saharan Africa have
increased their economic growth rates, taken
significant steps towards liberalizing their economies,
and made progress toward regional economic integration
that can have positive benefits for the region;
(6) despite those gains, the per capita income in
sub-Saharan Africa averages approximately $500
annually;
(7) trade and investment, as the American experience
has shown, can represent powerful tools both for
economic development and for encouraging broader
participation in a political process in which political
freedom can flourish;
(8) increased trade and investment flows have the
greatest impact in an economic environment in which
trading partners eliminate barriers to trade and
capital flows and encourage the development of a
vibrant private sector that offers individual African
citizens the freedom to expand their economic
opportunities and provide for their families;
(9) offering the countries of sub-Saharan Africa
enhanced trade preferences will encourage both higher
levels of trade and direct investment in support of the
positive economic and political developments under way
throughout the region; and
(10) encouraging the reciprocal reduction of trade
and investment barriers in Africa will enhance the
benefits of trade and investment for the region as well
as enhance commercial and political ties between the
United States and sub-Saharan Africa.

Subtitle C--Economic Development Related Issues
SEC. 121.\9\ SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING COMPREHENSIVE DEBT RELIEF
FOR THE WORLD'S POOREST COUNTRIES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 19 U.S.C. 3731.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The burden of external debt has become a major
impediment to economic growth and poverty reduction in
many of the world's poorest countries.
(2) Until recently, the United States Government and
other official creditors sought to address this problem
by rescheduling loans and in some cases providing
limited debt reduction.
(3) Despite such efforts, the cumulative debt of many
of the world's poorest countries continued to grow
beyond their capacity to repay.
(4) In 1997, the Group of Seven, the World Bank, and
the International Monetary Fund adopted the Heavily
Indebted Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC), a commitment
by the international community that all multilateral
and bilateral creditors, acting in a coordinated and
concerted fashion, would reduce poor country debt to a
sustainable level.
(5) The HIPC Initiative is currently undergoing
reforms to address concerns raised about country
conditionality, the amount of debt forgiven, and the
allocation of savings realized through the debt
forgiveness program to ensure that the Initiative
accomplishes the goals of economic growth and poverty
alleviation in the world's poorest countries.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) Congress and the President should work together,
without undue delay and in concert with the
international community, to make comprehensive debt
relief available to the world's poorest countries in a
manner that promotes economic growth and poverty
alleviation;
(2) this program of bilateral and multilateral debt
relief should be designed to strengthen and expand the
private sector, encourage increased trade and
investment, support the development of free markets,
and promote broad-scale economic growth in beneficiary
countries;
(3) this program of debt relief should also support
the adoption of policies to alleviate poverty and to
ensure that benefits are shared widely among the
population, such as through initiatives to advance
education, improve health, combat AIDS, and promote
clean water and environmental protection;
(4) these debt relief agreements should be designed
and implemented in a transparent manner and with the
broad participation of the citizenry of the debtor
country and should ensure that country circumstances
are adequately taken into account;
(5) no country should receive the benefits of debt
relief if that country does not cooperate with the
United States on terrorism or narcotics enforcement, is
a gross violator of the human rights of its citizens,
or is engaged in conflict or spends excessively on its
military; and
(6) in order to prevent adverse impact on a key
industry in many developing countries, the
International Monetary Fund must mobilize its own
resources for providing debt relief to eligible
countries without allowing gold to reach the open
market, or otherwise adversely affecting the market
price of gold.
SEC. 122.\10\ EXECUTIVE BRANCH INITIATIVES.
(a) Statement of the Congress.--The Congress recognizes
that the stated policy of the executive branch in 1997, the
``Partnership for Growth and Opportunity in Africa''
initiative, is a step toward the establishment of a
comprehensive trade and development policy for sub-Saharan
Africa. It is the sense of the Congress that this Partnership
is a companion to the policy goals set forth in this title.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ 19 U.S.C. 3732.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Technical Assistance To Promote Economic Reforms and
Development.--In addition to continuing bilateral and
multilateral economic and development assistance, the President
shall target technical assistance toward--
(1) developing relationships between United States
firms and firms in sub-Saharan Africa through a variety
of business associations and networks;
(2) providing assistance to the governments of sub-
Saharan African countries to--
(A) liberalize trade and promote exports;
(B) bring their legal regimes into compliance
with the standards of the World Trade
Organization in conjunction with membership in
that Organization;
(C) make financial and fiscal reforms; and
(D) promote greater agribusiness linkages;
(3) addressing such critical agricultural policy
issues as market liberalization, agricultural export
development, and agribusiness investment in processing
and transporting agricultural commodities;
(4) increasing the number of reverse trade missions
to growth-oriented countries in sub-Saharan Africa;
(5) increasing trade in services; and
(6) encouraging greater sub-Saharan African
participation in future negotiations in the World Trade
Organization on services and making further commitments
in their schedules to the General Agreement on Trade in
Services in order to encourage the removal of tariff
and nontariff barriers.
SEC. 123.\11\ OVERSEAS PRIVATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION INITIATIVES.
(a) Initiation of Funds.--It is the sense of the Congress
that the Overseas Private Investment Corporation should
exercise the authorities it has to initiate an equity fund or
equity funds in support of projects in the countries in sub-
Saharan Africa, in addition to the existing equity fund for
sub-Saharan Africa created by the Corporation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ 19 U.S.C. 3733.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Structure and Types of Funds.--
(1) Structure.--Each fund initiated under subsection
(a) should be structured as a partnership managed by
professional private sector fund managers and monitored
on a continuing basis by the Corporation.
(2) Capitalization.--Each fund should be capitalized
with a combination of private equity capital, which is
not guaranteed by the Corporation, and debt for which
the Corporation provides guaranties.
(3) Infrastructure fund.--One or more of the funds,
with combined assets of up to $500,000,000, should be
used in support of infrastructure projects in countries
of sub-Saharan Africa.
(4) Emphasis.--The Corporation shall ensure that the
funds are used to provide support in particular to
women entrepreneurs and to innovative investments that
expand opportunities for women and maximize employment
opportunities for poor individuals.
(c) Overseas Private Investment Corporation.--
(1) Investment advisory council.--Section 233 of the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended by adding at
the end the following: \12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Legislation on Foreign Relations Through 2005, vol. I-A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``(e) Investment Advisory Council.--The Board shall take
prompt measures to increase the loan, guarantee, and insurance
programs, and financial commitments, of the Corporation in sub-
Saharan Africa, including through the use of an investment
advisory council to assist the Board in developing and
implementing policies, programs, and financial instruments with
respect to sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, the investment
advisory council shall make recommendations to the Board on how
the Corporation can facilitate greater support by the United
States for trade and investment with and in sub-Saharan Africa.
The investment advisory council shall terminate 4 years after
the date of the enactment of this subsection.''.
(2) Reports to congress.--Within 6 months after the
date of the enactment of this Act, and annually for
each of the 4 years thereafter, the Board of Directors
of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation shall
submit to Congress a report on the steps that the Board
has taken to implement section 233(e) of the Foreign

any recommendations of the investment advisory council
established pursuant to such section.
SEC. 124.\13\ EXPORT-IMPORT BANK INITIATIVES.
(a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that the Board of Directors of the Bank shall continue to take
comprehensive measures, consistent with the credit standards
otherwise required by law, to promote the expansion of the
Bank's financial commitments in sub-Saharan Africa under the
loan, guarantee and insurance programs of the Bank.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ 19 U.S.C. 3734.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Sub-Saharan Africa Advisory Committee.--The sub-Saharan
Africa Advisory Committee (SAAC) is to be commended for aiding
the Bank in advancing the economic partnership between the
United States and the nations of sub-Saharan Africa by doubling
the number of sub-Saharan African countries in which the Bank
is open for traditional financing and by increasing by tenfold
the Bank's support for sales to sub-Saharan Africa from fiscal
year 1998 to fiscal year 1999. The Board of Directors of the
Bank and its staff shall continue to review carefully the sub-
Saharan Africa Advisory Committee recommendations on the
development and implementation of new and innovative policies
and programs designed to promote the Bank's expansion in sub-
Saharan Africa.
SEC. 125.\14\ EXPANSION OF THE UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN COMMERCIAL
SERVICE IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ 19 U.S.C. 3735.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The United States and Foreign Commercial Service
(hereafter in this section referred to as the
``Commercial Service'') plays an important role in
helping United States businesses identify export
opportunities and develop reliable sources of
information on commercial prospects in foreign
countries.
(2) During the 1980s, the presence of the Commercial
Service in sub-Saharan Africa consisted of 14
professionals providing services in eight countries. By
early 1997, that presence had been reduced by half to
seven professionals in only four countries.
(3) Since 1997, the Department of Commerce has slowly
begun to increase the presence of the Commercial
Service in sub-Saharan Africa, adding five full-time
officers to established posts.
(4) Although the Commercial Service Officers in these
countries have regional responsibilities, this kind of
coverage does not adequately service the needs of
United States businesses attempting to do business in
sub-Saharan Africa.
(5) The Congress has, on several occasions,
encouraged the Commercial Service to focus its
resources and efforts in countries or regions in Europe
or Asia to promote greater United States export
activity in those markets, and similar encouragement
should be provided for countries in sub-Saharan Africa
as well.
(6) Because market information is not widely
available in many sub-Saharan African countries, the
presence of additional Commercial Service Officers and
resources can play a significant role in assisting
United States businesses in markets in those countries.
(b) Appointments.--Subject to the availability of
appropriations, by not later than December 31, 2001, the
Secretary of Commerce, acting through the Assistant Secretary
of Commerce and Director General of the United States and
Foreign Commercial Service, shall take steps to ensure that--
(1) at least 20 full-time Commercial Service
employees are stationed in sub-Saharan Africa; and
(2) full-time Commercial Service employees are
stationed in not less than 10 different sub-Saharan
African countries.
(c) Initiative for Sub-Saharan Africa.--In order to
encourage the export of United States goods and services to
sub-Saharan African countries, the International Trade
Administration shall make a special effort to--
(1) identify United States goods and services which
are the best prospects for export by United States
companies to sub-Saharan Africa;
(2) identify, where appropriate, tariff and nontariff
barriers that are preventing or hindering sales of
United States goods and services to, or the operation
of United States companies in, sub-Saharan Africa;
(3) hold discussions with appropriate authorities in
sub-Saharan Africa on the matters described in
paragraphs (1) and (2) with a view to securing
increased market access for United States exporters of
goods and services;
(4) identify current resource allocations and
personnel levels in sub-Saharan Africa for the
Commercial Service and consider plans for the
deployment of additional resources or personnel to that
region; and
(5) make available to the public, through printed and
electronic means of communication, the information
derived pursuant to paragraphs (1) through (4) for each
of the 4 years after the date of the enactment of this
Act.
SEC. 126.\15\ DONATION OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL EQUIPMENT TO ELIGIBLE
SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN COUNTRIES.
It is the sense of the Congress that, to the extent
appropriate, the United States Government should make every
effort to donate to governments of sub-Saharan African
countries determined to be eligible under section 104 air
traffic control equipment that is no longer in use, including
appropriate related reimbursable technical assistance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ 19 U.S.C. 3736.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 127.\16\ ADDITIONAL AUTHORITIES AND INCREASED FLEXIBILITY TO
PROVIDE ASSISTANCE UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT FUND FOR
AFRICA.
(a) Use of Sustainable Development Assistance To Support
Further Economic Growth.--It is the sense of the Congress that
sustained economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa depends in
large measure upon the development of a receptive environment
for trade and investment, and that to achieve this objective
the United States Agency for International Development should
continue to support programs which help to create this
environment. Investments in human resources, development, and
implementation of free market policies, including policies to
liberalize agricultural markets and improve food security, and
the support for the rule of law and democratic governance
should continue to be encouraged and enhanced on a bilateral
and regional basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ 19 U.S.C. 3737.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Declarations of Policy.--The Congress makes the
following declarations:
(1) The Development Fund for Africa established under
chapter 10 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961 (22 U.S.C. 2293 et seq.) has been an effective
tool in providing development assistance to sub-Saharan
Africa since 1988.
(2) The Development Fund for Africa will complement
the other provisions of this title and lay a foundation
for increased trade and investment opportunities
between the United States and sub-Saharan Africa.
(3) Assistance provided through the Development Fund
for Africa will continue to support programs and
activities that promote the long term economic
development of sub-Saharan Africa, such as programs and
activities relating to the following:
(A) Strengthening primary and vocational
education systems, especially the acquisition
of middle-level technical skills for operating
modern private businesses and the introduction
of college level business education, including
the study of international business, finance,
and stock exchanges.
(B) Strengthening health care systems.
(C) Supporting democratization, good
governance and civil society and conflict
resolution efforts.
(D) Increasing food security by promoting the
expansion of agricultural and agriculture-based
industrial production and productivity and
increasing real incomes for poor individuals.
(E) Promoting an enabling environment for
private sector-led growth through sustained
economic reform, privatization programs, and
market-led economic activities.
(F) Promoting decentralization and local
participation in the development process,
especially linking the rural production sectors
and the industrial and market centers
throughout Africa.
(G) Increasing the technical and managerial
capacity of sub-Saharan African individuals to
manage the economy of sub-Saharan Africa.
(H) Ensuring sustainable economic growth
through environmental protection.
(4) The African Development Foundation has a unique
congressional mandate to empower the poor to
participate fully in development and to increase
opportunities for gainful employment, poverty
alleviation, and more equitable income distribution in
sub-Saharan Africa. The African Development Foundation
has worked successfully to enhance the role of women as
agents of change, strengthen the informal sector with
an emphasis on supporting micro and small sized
enterprises, indigenous technologies, and mobilizing
local financing. The African Development Foundation
should develop and implement strategies for promoting
participation in the socioeconomic development process
of grassroots and informal sector groups such as
nongovernmental organizations, cooperatives, artisans,
and traders into the programs and initiatives
established under this title.
(c) Additional Authorities.--
(1) In general.--Section 496(h) of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2293(h)) is amended--
\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ For text, see Legislation on Foreign Relations Through 2005,
vol. I-A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A) by redesignating paragraph (3) as
paragraph (4); and
(B) by inserting after paragraph (2) the
following:
``(3) Democratization and conflict resolution
capabilities.--Assistance under this section may also
include program assistance--
``(A) to promote democratization, good
governance, and strong civil societies in sub-
Saharan Africa; and
``(B) to strengthen conflict resolution
capabilities of governmental,
intergovernmental, and nongovernmental entities
in sub-Saharan Africa.''.
(2) Conforming amendment.--Section 496(h)(4) of such
Act, as amended by paragraph (1), is further amended by
striking ``paragraphs (1) and (2)'' in the first
sentence and inserting ``paragraphs (1), (2), and
(3)''.
SEC. 128.\18\ ASSISTANCE FROM UNITED STATES PRIVATE SECTOR TO PREVENT
AND REDUCE HIV/AIDS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA.
It is the sense of the Congress that United States
businesses should be encouraged to provide assistance to sub-
Saharan African countries to prevent and reduce the incidence
of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. In providing such
assistance, United States businesses should be encouraged to
consider the establishment of an HIV/AIDS Response Fund in
order to provide for coordination among such businesses in the
collection and distribution of the assistance to sub-Saharan
African countries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ 19 U.S.C. 3738.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 129.\19\ SENSE OF THE CONGRESS RELATING TO HIV/AIDS CRISIS IN SUB-
SAHARAN AFRICA.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ 19 U.S.C. 3739.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Sustained economic development in sub-Saharan
Africa depends in large measure upon successful trade
with and foreign assistance to the countries of sub-
Saharan Africa.
(2) The HIV/AIDS crisis has reached epidemic
proportions in sub-Saharan Africa, where more than
21,000,000 men, women, and children are infected with
HIV.
(3) Eighty-three percent of the estimated 11,700,000
deaths from HIV/AIDS worldwide have been in sub-Saharan
Africa.
(4) The HIV/AIDS crisis in sub-Saharan Africa is
weakening the structure of families and societies.
(5)(A) The HIV/AIDS crisis threatens the future of
the workforce in sub-Saharan Africa.
(B) Studies show that HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa
most severely affects individuals between the ages of
15 and 49--the age group that provides the most support
for the economies of sub-Saharan African countries.
(6) Clear evidence demonstrates that HIV/AIDS is
destructive to the economies of sub-Saharan African
countries.
(7) Sustained economic development is critical to
creating the public and private sector resources in
sub-Saharan Africa necessary to fight the HIV/AIDS
epidemic.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) addressing the HIV/AIDS crisis in sub-Saharan
Africa should be a central component of United States
foreign policy with respect to sub-Saharan Africa;
(2) significant progress needs to be made in
preventing and treating HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa
in order to sustain a mutually beneficial trade
relationship between the United States and sub-Saharan
African countries; and
(3) the HIV/AIDS crisis in sub-Saharan Africa is a
global threat that merits further attention through
greatly expanded public, private, and joint public-
private efforts, and through appropriate United States
legislation.
SEC. 130.\20\ STUDY ON IMPROVING AFRICAN AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES.
(a) In general.--The Secretary of Agriculture, in

Representatives not later than September 30, 2001.
(b) Land Grant Colleges and Not-for-Profit Institutions.--
In conducting the study under subsection (a), the Secretary of
Agriculture is encouraged to consult with American Land Grant
Colleges and not-for-profit international organizations that
have firsthand knowledge of current African farming practices.
SEC. 131.\21\ SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING EFFORTS TO COMBAT
DESERTIFICATION IN AFRICA AND OTHER COUNTRIES.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ 19 U.S.C. 3741.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) desertification affects approximately one-sixth
of the world's population and one-quarter of the total
land area;
(2) over 1,000,000 hectares of Africa are affected by
desertification;
(3) dryland degradation is an underlying cause of
recurrent famine in Africa;
(4) the United Nations Environment Programme
estimates that desertification costs the world
$42,000,000,000 a year, not including incalculable
costs in human suffering; and

throughout Africa and other countries affected by
desertification, help alleviate social and economic
crises caused by misuse of natural resources, and
reduce dependence on foreign aid, by taking a leading
role to combat desertification.

SEC. 2.\2\ FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF POLICY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 22 U.S.C. 2293 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The economic, security, and humanitarian
interests of the United States and the nations of sub-
Saharan Africa would be enhanced by sustainable, broad-
based agricultural and rural development in each of the
African nations.
(2) According to the Food and Agriculture
Organization, the number of undernourished people in
Africa has more than doubled, from approximately
100,000,000 in the late 1960s to 215,000,000 in 1998,
and is projected to increase to 265,000,000 by the year
2010. According to the Food and Agriculture
Organization, the term ``under nutrition'' means
inadequate consumption of nutrients, often adversely
affecting children's physical and mental development,
undermining their future as productive and creative
members of their communities.
(3) Currently, agricultural production in Africa
employs about two-thirds of the workforce but produces
less than one-fourth of the gross domestic product in
sub-Saharan Africa, according to the World Bank Group.
(4) African women produce up to 80 percent of the
total food supply in Africa according to the
International Food Policy Research Institute.
(5) An effective way to improve conditions of the
poor is to increase the productivity of the
agricultural sector. Productivity increases can be
fostered by increasing research and education in
agriculture and rural development.
(6) In November 1996, the World Food Summit set a
goal of reducing hunger worldwide by 50 percent by the
year 2015 and encouraged national governments to
develop domestic food plans and to support
international aid efforts.
(7) Although the World Bank Group recently has
launched a major initiative to support agricultural and
rural development, only 10 percent, or $1,200,000,000,
of its total lending to sub-Saharan Africa for fiscal
years 1993 to 1997 was devoted to agriculture.
(8)(A) United States food processing and agricultural
sectors benefit greatly from the liberalization of
global trade and increased exports.
(B) Africa represents a growing market for United
States food and agricultural products. Africa's food
imports are projected to rise from less than 8,000,000
metric tons in 1990 to more than 25,000,000 metric tons
by the 2020.
(9)(A) Increased private sector investment in African
countries and expanded trade between the United States
and Africa can greatly help African countries achieve
food self-sufficiency and graduate from dependency on
international assistance.
(B) Development assistance, technical assistance, and
training can facilitate and encourage commercial
development in Africa, such as improving rural roads,
agricultural research and extension, and providing
access to credit and other resources.
(10)(A) Several United States private voluntary
organizations have demonstrated success in empowering
Africans through direct business ownership and helping
African agricultural producers more efficiently and
directly market their products.
(B) Rural business associations, owned and controlled
by farmer shareholders, also greatly help agricultural
producers to increase their household incomes.
(b) Declaration of Policy.--It is the policy of the United
States, consistent with title XII of part I of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961, to support governments of sub-Saharan
African countries, United States and African nongovernmental
organizations, universities, businesses, and international
agencies, to help ensure the availability of basic nutrition
and economic opportunities for individuals in sub-Saharan
Africa, through sustainable agriculture and rural development.

conducted in cooperation with African and United States
organizations and institutions, such as private and
voluntary organizations, cooperatives, land-grant and
other appropriate universities, and local producer-
owned cooperative marketing and buying associations,
that have expertise in addressing the needs of the
poor, small-scale farmers, entrepreneurs, and rural
workers, including women.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that, if there is an increase in funding for sub-Saharan
programs, the Administrator of the United States Agency for
International Development should proportionately increase
resources to the Africa Food Security Initiative, or any
comparable or successor program, for fiscal year 2000 and
subsequent fiscal years in order to meet the needs of the
countries participating in such Initiative.
SEC. 102.\2\ MICROENTERPRISE ASSISTANCE.
(a) Bilateral Assistance.--In providing microenterprise
assistance for sub-Saharan Africa, the Administrator of the
United States Agency for International Development shall, to
the extent practicable, use credit and microcredit assistance
to improve the capacity and efficiency of agriculture
production in sub-Saharan Africa of small-scale farmers and
small rural entrepreneurs. In providing assistance, the
Administrator should use the applied research and technical
assistance capabilities of United States land-grant
universities.
(b) Multilateral Assistance.--
(1) In general.--The Administrator of the United
States Agency for International Development shall
continue to work with other countries, international
organizations (including multilateral development
institutions), and entities assisting microenterprises
and shall develop a comprehensive and coordinated

income through improved access to farm supplies,
seasonal credit, technical expertise; and
(4) to support small businesses in sub-Saharan Africa
as they grow beyond microenterprises.
(b) Support for Producer-Owned Cooperative Marketing
Associations.--
(1) Activities.--
(A) In general.--The Administrator of the

(i) shall take into account small-
scale farmers, small rural
entrepreneurs, and rural workers and
communities; and

and urban poor through close
consultation with these groups,
consistent with section 496(e)(1) of
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22
U.S.C. 2293(e)(1)).
(2) Other activities.--In addition to carrying out
paragraph (1), the Administrator is encouraged--
(A) to cooperate with governments of foreign
countries, including governments of political
subdivisions of such countries, their
agricultural research universities, and
particularly with United States nongovernmental
organizations and United States land-grant
universities, that have demonstrated expertise
in the development and promotion of successful
private producer-owned cooperative marketing
associations; and
(B) to facilitate partnerships between United
States and African cooperatives and private
businesses to enhance the capacity and
technical and marketing expertise of business
associations in sub-Saharan Africa.
SEC. 104.\2\ AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE
OVERSEAS PRIVATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION.
(a) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to encourage
the Overseas Private Investment Corporation to work with United
States businesses and other United States entities to invest in
rural sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in ways that will
develop the capacities of small-scale farmers and small rural
entrepreneurs, including women, in sub-Saharan Africa.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) the Overseas Private Investment Corporation
should exercise its authority under law to undertake an
initiative to support private agricultural and rural
development in sub-Saharan Africa, including issuing
loans, guaranties, and insurance, to support rural
development in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly to
support intermediary organizations that--
(A) directly serve the needs of small-scale
farmers, small rural entrepreneurs, and rural
producer-owned cooperative purchasing and
marketing associations;
(B) have a clear track-record of support for
sound business management practices; and

(a) Development of Plan.--The Administrator of the United
States Agency for International Development, in consultation
with the Secretary of Agriculture and appropriate Department of
Agriculture agencies, especially the Cooperative State,
Research, Education and Extension Service (CSREES), shall
develop a comprehensive plan to coordinate and build on the
research and extension activities of United States land-grant
universities, international agricultural research centers, and
national agricultural research and extension centers in sub-
Saharan Africa.
(b) Additional Requirements.--Such plan shall seek to

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION. 1.\1\ SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``African Conflict Resolution
Act''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 22 U.S.C. 2151 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 2.\1\ FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF POLICY.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) It is in the national interest of the United
States to help build African capability in conflict
resolution. A relatively small investment of assistance
in promoting African conflict resolution--
(A) would reduce the enormous human suffering
which is caused by wars in Africa;
(B) would help the United States avoid huge
future expenditures necessitated by Somalia-
like humanitarian disasters; and
(C) would reduce the need for United Nations
intervention as African institutions develop
the ability to resolve African conflicts.
(2) Africa, to a greater extent than any other
continent, is afflicted by war. Africa has been marred
by more than 20 major civil wars since 1960. Rwanda,
Somalia, Angola, Sudan, Liberia, and Burundi are among
those countries that have recently suffered serious
armed conflict.
(3) In the last decade alone, between 2,000,000 and
4,000,000 Africans have died because of war. There were
5,200,000 refugees and 13,100,000 displaced people in
Africa in 1993.
(4) Millions more Africans are currently at risk of
war-related death. Looming or ongoing conflicts in
Zaire, Angola, Sudan, Rwanda, and other countries
threaten Africa's future.
(5) War has caused untold economic and social damage
to the countries of Africa. Food production is
impossible in conflict areas, and famine often results.
Widespread conflict has condemned many of Africa's
children to lives of misery and, in certain cases, has
threatened the existence of traditional African
cultures.
(6) Conflict and instability in Africa, particularly
in large, potentially rich countries such as Angola,
Sudan, and Zaire, deprive the global economy of
resources and opportunities for trade and investment.
Peace in these countries could make a significant
contribution to global economic growth, while creating
new opportunities for United States businesses.
(7) Excessive military expenditures threaten
political and economic stability in Africa while
diverting scarce resources from development needs.
Demobilization and other measures to reduce the size of
African armies, and civilian control of the military
under the rule of law are in the interest of
international security and economic development.
(8) Conflict prevention, mediation, and
demobilization are prerequisites to the success of
development assistance programs. Nutrition and
education programs, for example, cannot succeed in a
nation at war. Billions of dollars of development
assistance have been virtually wasted in war-ravaged
countries such as Liberia, Somalia, and Sudan.
(9) Africans have a long tradition of informal
mediation. This tradition should be built upon to
create effective institutions through which Africans
can resolve African conflicts.
(10) The effectiveness of U.S. support for conflict
resolution programs requires coordination and
collaboration with multilateral institutions and other
bilateral donors.
(11) African institutions are playing an active role
in conflict resolution and mediation utilizing the
experience of elder statesmen. Groups such as the All
African Council of Churches have assisted in defusing
conflicts. The Economic Community of West African
States (ECOWAS) has sought to address the conflict in
Liberia by deploying an African peacekeeping force. The
Southern African states have been working to prevent a
crisis in Lesotho. The Intergovernmental Authority on
Desertification and Drought (IGADD) has been engaged in
attempting to resolve the conflict in Sudan.
(12) The Organization of African Unity, under the
leadership of Secretary General Salim Salim, has
established a conflict resolution mechanism and has
been active in mediation and conflict resolution in
several African countries.
(b) United States Policy.--The Congress declares,
therefore, that a key goal for United States foreign policy
should be to help institutionalize conflict resolution
capability in Africa.

Transition Support Act of 1993''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 22 U.S.C. 5001 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 2.\1\ FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) After decades of apartheid, South Africa has
entered a new era which presents a historic opportunity
for a transition to a peaceful, stable, and democratic
future.
(2) The United States policy of economic sanctions
toward the apartheid government of South Africa, as
expressed in the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of
1986, helped bring about reforms in that system of
government and has facilitated the establishment of a
nonracial government.
(3) Through broad and open negotiations, the parties
in South Africa have reached a landmark agreement on
the future of their country. This agreement includes
the establishment of a Transitional Executive Council
and the setting of a date for nonracial elections.
(4) The international community has a vital interest
in supporting the transition from apartheid toward
nonracial democracy.
(5) The success of the transition in South Africa is
crucial to the stability and economic development of
the southern African region.
(6) Nelson Mandela of the African National Congress
and other representative leaders in South Africa have
declared that the time has come when the international
community should lift all economic sanctions against
South Africa.
(7) In light of recent developments, the continuation
of these economic sanctions is detrimental to persons
disadvantaged by apartheid.
(8) Those calling for the lifting of economic
sanctions against South Africa have made clear that
they do not seek the immediate termination of the
United Nations-sponsored special sanctions relating to
arms transfers, nuclear cooperation, and exports of
oil. The Ad Hoc Committee on Southern Africa of the
Organization of African Unity, for example, has urged
that the oil embargo established pursuant to a 1986
General Assembly resolution be lifted after the
establishment and commencement of the work of the
Transitional Executive Council.
SEC. 3.\1\ UNITED STATES POLICY.
It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the United States should--
(A) strongly support the Transitional
Executive Council in South Africa,
(B) encourage rapid progress toward the
establishment of a nonracial democratic
government in South Africa, and
(C) support a consolidation of democracy in
South Africa through democratic elections for
an interim government and a new nonracial
constitution;
(2) the United States should continue to provide
assistance to support the transition to a nonracial
democracy in South Africa, and should urge
international financial institutions and other donors
to also provide such assistance;
(3) to the maximum extent practicable, the United
States should consult closely with international
financial institutions, other donors, and South African
entities on a coordinated strategy to support the
transition to a nonracial democracy in South Africa;
(4) in order to provide ownership and managerial
opportunities, professional advancement, training, and
employment for disadvantaged South Africans and to
respond to the historical inequities created under
apartheid, the United States should--
(A) promote the expansion of private
enterprise and free markets in South Africa,
(B) encourage the South African private
sector to take a special responsibility and
interest in providing such opportunities,
advancement, training, and employment for
disadvantaged South Africans,
(C) encourage United States private sector
investment in and trade with South Africa,
(D) urge United States investors to develop a
working partnership with representative organs
of South African civil society, particularly
churches and trade unions, in promoting
responsible codes of corporate conduct and
other measures to address the historical
inequities created under apartheid;
(5) the United States should urge the Government of
South Africa to liberalize its trade and investment
policies to facilitate the expansion of the economy,
and to shift resources to meet the needs of
disadvantaged South Africans;
(6) the United States should promote cooperation
between South Africa and other countries in the region
to foster regional stability and economic growth; and
(7) the United States should demonstrate its support
for an expedited transition to, and should adopt a long
term policy beneficial to the establishment and
perpetuation of, a nonracial democracy in South Africa.

Act of 1989 (22 U.S.C. 5117).
(B) Section 210 of the Urgent Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 1986 (100 Stat. 749).
(d) Continuation of UN Special Sanctions.--It is the sense
of the Congress that the United States should continue to
respect United Nations Security Council resolutions on South
Africa, including the resolution providing for a mandatory
embargo on arms sales to South Africa and the resolutions
relating to the import of arms, restricting exports to the
South African military and police, and urging states to refrain
from nuclear cooperation that would contribute to the
manufacture and development by South Africa of nuclear weapons
or nuclear devices.

assistance may be provided for--
(A) the Transitional Executive Council;

enterprise.--Assistance provided in accordance with
this section may not be made available to any
organization that has espoused views inconsistent with

would advance the United States objective of promoting
democracy and free enterprise in South Africa.
SEC. 6.\1\ UNITED STATES INVESTMENT AND TRADE.
(a) Tax Treaty.--The President should begin immediately to
negotiate a tax treaty with South Africa to facilitate United
States investment in that country.
(b) OPIC.--The President should immediately initiate
negotiations with the Government of South Africa for an
agreement authorizing the Overseas Private Investment
Corporation to carry out programs with respect to South Africa
in order to expand United States investment in that country.
(c) Trade and Development Agency.--In carrying out section
661 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, the Director of the

United States should expand its activities in connection with
exports to South Africa.
(e) Promoting Disadvantaged Enterprises.--
(1) Investment and trade programs.--Each of the

should take active steps to encourage the use of its
programs to promote business enterprises in South
Africa that are majority-owned by South Africans
disadvantaged by apartheid.
(2) United states government procurement.--To the
extent not inconsistent with the obligations of the
United States under any international agreement, the

performance of, or the expenditure of funds for, United
States Government contracts.
SEC. 7.\1\ INFORMATION AND EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS.

to support the transition to nonracial democracy in South
Africa.

assistance to South Africa for the purpose of training the
people of South Africa in government management techniques.
SEC. 10.\1\ CONSULTATION WITH SOUTH AFRICANS.
In carrying out this Act, the President should consult
closely with South African individuals and organizations
representative of the majority population in South Africa
(particularly consultations through the Transitional Executive
Council) and others committed to abolishing the remnants of
apartheid.
(7) Horn of Africa Recovery and Food Security Act
Public Law 102-274 [S. 985], 106 Stat. 115, approved April 21, 1992
AN ACT To assure the people of the Horn of Africa the right to food and
the other basic necessities of life and to promote peace and
development in the region.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1.\1\ SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Horn of Africa Recovery and
Food Security Act''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 22 U.S.C. 2151 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 2.\1\ FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Horn of Africa (the region comprised of
Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, and Djibouti) is
characterized by an extraordinary degree of food
insecurity as a result of war, famine, mounting debt,
recurrent drought, poverty, and agricultural
disruption, as well as gross violations of human
rights, political repression, environmental
destruction, and the breakdown of such essential
services as primary education and health care.
(2) Internal conflict and famine have killed an
estimated 2,000,000 people in Ethiopia, Sudan, and
Somalia since 1985, and generated another 8,000,000
displaced persons and refugees, a number so high as to
make millions wards of the United Nations and the
international community. Relief officials now estimate
that another 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 people are
threatened by starvation as civil war and drought
continue to ravage the area.
(3) Governments and armed opposition groups in
Ethiopia, Sudan, and Somalia have been guilty of gross
violations of human rights, which further erode food
security in those countries.
(4) Assistance policies have failed in large part
because of political and economic insecurity, which
have prevented the development of programs to achieve
sustainable development and programs to achieve food
security.
(5) Appropriate assistance should promote real food
security, which means access by all people at all times
to enough food for an active and healthy life and the
availability of sufficient income and food to prevent
chronic dependency upon food assistance.
(6) The end of the Cold War rivalries in the Horn of
Africa affords the United States the opportunity to
develop a policy which addresses the extraordinary food
security problem in the region.
(7) Notwithstanding other pressing needs, the United
States must accordingly fashion a new foreign policy
toward the Horn of Africa and cooperate with other
major donors and the United Nations--
(A) to develop an emergency relief plan which
meets the immediate basic human needs that
arise as long as civil strife and famine
afflict the region;
(B) to promote immediately cease-fires,
secure relief corridors, and an end to these
conflicts; and
(C) to provide creative developmental
assistance which attacks the root causes of
famine and war and assists these nations on the
path to long-term security, reconstruction,
voluntary repatriation, economic recovery,
democracy, and peace, and which targets
assistance to assist the poor majority more
effectively.
SEC. 3.\1\ STATEMENT OF POLICY REGARDING INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES.
(a) Ethiopia.--It is the sense of the Congress that the
President should--
(1) call upon the authorities who now exercise
control over the central government in Ethiopia to
protect the basic human rights of all citizens, to
release from detention all political prisoners and
other detainees who were apprehended by the Mengistu
regime, and to facilitate the distribution of
international relief and emergency humanitarian
assistance throughout the country;
(2) urge all authorities in Ethiopia to make good
faith efforts to--
(A) make permanent the cease-fire now in
place and to permit the restoration of
tranquility in the country, and (B) make
arrangements for a transitional government that
is broadly-based, that accommodates all
appropriate points of view, that respects human
rights, and that is committed to a process of
reform leading to the writing of a constitution
and the establishment of representative
government; and
(3) support efforts to ensure that the people of
Eritrea are able to exercise their legitimate political
rights, consistent with international law, including
the right to participate actively in the determination
of their political future, and call upon the
authorities in Eritrea to keep open the ports of
Mitsiwa and Aseb and to continue to permit the use of
those ports for the delivery and distribution of
humanitarian assistance to Eritrea and to Ethiopia as a
whole.
(b) \2\ Somalia.--It is the sense of the Congress that the
President should--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Two concurrent resolutions were considered and agreed to in the
102d Congress to reenforce this sense of the Congress. S. Con. Res.
132, agreed to in the Senate on August 3, 1992, and in the House on
August 10, 1992, resolved:
``That the Congress--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``(1) condemns in the strongest possible terms the senseless and wanton
destruction wrought by the political factions in Somalia;
``(2) strongly urges these factions to abide by the United Nations
ceasefire and to allow the deployment of security forces to protect

increase overall relief and developmental assistance
for the people in the Horn of Africa;

(1) Targeting Assistance.--United States
developmental assistance for the Horn of Africa should
be targeted to aid the poor majority of the people of
the region (particularly refugees, women, the urban
poor, and small-scale farmers and pastoralists) to the
maximum extent practicable. United States Government
aid institutions should seek to--

experiences of United States, international,
and indigenous private and voluntary
organizations active in local grassroots
relief, rehabilitation, and development
efforts;

and significantly incorporate their views into
the policymaking process; and
(C) support the expansion and strengthening
of their activities without compromising their
private and independent nature.
(2) PVOs and international organizations.--While
support from indigenous governments is crucial,
sustainable development and food security in the Horn
of Africa should be enhanced through the active
participation of indigenous private and voluntary
organizations, as well as international private and
voluntary organizations, and international
organizations that have demonstrated their ability to
work as partners with local nongovernmental
organizations and are committed to promoting local
grassroots activities on behalf of long-term
development and self-reliance in the Horn of Africa.

Government of Ethiopia, the Government of Somalia, or

should provide developmental assistance to those
countries by supporting United States, indigenous, and
international private and voluntary organizations
working in those countries. Such assistance should be
expanded as quickly as possible.
(b) Examples of Programs.--Assistance pursuant to this
section should include programs to--
(1) reforest and restore degraded natural areas and
reestablish resource management programs;
(2) reestablish veterinary services, local crop
research, and agricultural development projects;
(3) provide basic education, including efforts to
support the teaching of displaced children, and rebuild
schools;
(4) educate young people outside of their countries
if conflict within their countries continues;
(5) reconstitute and expand the delivery of primary
and maternal health care; and
(6) establish credit, microenterprise, and income
generation programs for the poor.
(c) Voluntary Relocation and Repatriation.--Assistance
pursuant to this section should also be targeted to the
voluntary relocation and voluntary repatriation of displaced
persons and refugees after peace has been achieved. Assistance
pursuant to this Act may not be made available for any costs
associated with any program of involuntary or forced
resettlement of persons.
(d) Debt Relief; International Fund for Reconstruction.--

relief of countries in the region and with emerging efforts to
establish an international fund for reconstruction of
developing countries which settle civil wars within their
territories.

respect to that country under section 8, development assistance
and assistance from the Development Fund for Africa for

private and voluntary organizations (as the term
``private and voluntary organization'' is defined in
section 496(e)(2) of the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961); or
(2) through international organizations that have
demonstrated effectiveness in working in partnership
with local nongovernmental organizations and are
committed to the promotion of local grassroots
activities on behalf of development and self-reliance
in the Horn of Africa (such as the United Nations
Children's Fund, the International Fund for
Agricultural Development, the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations
Development Program, and the World Food Program).
This subsection does not prohibit the organizations referred to
in paragraphs (1) and (2) from working with appropriate
ministries or departments of the respective governments of such
countries.
(f) Waiver of Restrictions.--Assistance pursuant to this
section may be made available to Ethiopia, Somalia, and Sudan
notwithstanding any provision of law (other than the provisions
of this Act) that would otherwise restrict assistance to such
countries.
(g) United States Voluntary Contributions to International
Organizations for Developmental Assistance for the Horn of
Africa.--It should be the policy of the United States to
provide increasing voluntary contributions to United Nations
agencies (including the United Nations Children's Fund, the
International Fund for Agricultural Development, the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations
Development Program, and the World Food Program) for expanded
programs of assistance for the Horn of Africa and for refugees
from the Horn of Africa who are in neighboring countries.
(h) Developmental Assistance Authorities.--Developmental
assistance to carry out this section shall be provided pursuant
to the authorities of chapter 1 of part I (relating to
development assistance) and chapter 10 of part I (relating to

Whereas the civil war in Liberia, begun in December 1989, has
devastated that country, killing an estimated 25,000
civilians and forcing hundreds of thousands of Liberians to

Whereas this agreement sets in motion a peace process,
including the encampment and disarmament of the fighters
and culminating in the holding of free and fair elections;
Whereas despite several difficulties, this peace process
continues to proceed largely on track, including the recent
opening of roads in Liberia and the initiation of the
political campaigns by several parties; and
Whereas the election process outlined in the Yamoussoukro
agreement is essential for reestablishing peace, democracy
and reconciliation in Liberia, and limited United States
assistance could play an important role in promoting this
process: Now, therefore, be it

SEC. 2.\2\ FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 22 U.S.C. 6021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The economy of Cuba has experienced a decline of
at least 60 percent in the last 5 years as a result
of--
(A) the end of its subsidization by the
former Soviet Union of between 5 billion and 6
billion dollars annually;
(B) 36 years of communist tyranny and
economic mismanagement by the Castro
government;
(C) the extreme decline in trade between Cuba
and the countries of the former Soviet bloc;
and
(D) the stated policy of the Russian
Government and the countries of the former
Soviet bloc to conduct economic relations with
Cuba on strictly commercial terms.
(2) At the same time, the welfare and health of the
Cuban people have substantially deteriorated as a
result of this economic decline and the refusal of the
Castro regime to permit free and fair democratic
elections in Cuba.
(3) The Castro regime has made it abundantly clear
that it will not engage in any substantive political
reforms that would lead to democracy, a market economy,
or an economic recovery.
(4) The repression of the Cuban people, including a
ban on free and fair democratic elections, and
continuing violations of fundamental human rights, have
isolated the Cuban regime as the only completely
nondemocratic government in the Western Hemisphere.
(5) As long as free elections are not held in Cuba,
the economic condition of the country and the welfare
of the Cuban people will not improve in any significant
way.
(6) The totalitarian nature of the Castro regime has
deprived the Cuban people of any peaceful means to
improve their condition and has led thousands of Cuban
citizens to risk or lose their lives in dangerous
attempts to escape from Cuba to freedom.
(7) Radio Marti and Television Marti have both been
effective vehicles for providing the people of Cuba
with news and information and have helped to bolster
the morale of the people of Cuba living under tyranny.
(8) The consistent policy of the United States
towards Cuba since the beginning of the Castro regime,
carried out by both Democratic and Republican
administrations, has sought to keep faith with the
people of Cuba, and has been effective in sanctioning
the totalitarian Castro regime.
(9) The United States has shown a deep commitment,
and considers it a moral obligation, to promote and
protect human rights and fundamental freedoms as
expressed in the Charter of the United Nations and in
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
(10) The Congress has historically and consistently
manifested its solidarity and the solidarity of the
American people with the democratic aspirations of the
Cuban people.
(11) The Cuban Democracy Act of 1992 calls upon the
President to encourage the governments of countries
that conduct trade with Cuba to restrict their trade
and credit relations with Cuba in a manner consistent
with the purposes of that Act.
(12) Amendments to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961
made by the FREEDOM Support Act require that the
President, in providing economic assistance to Russia
and the emerging Eurasian democracies, take into
account the extent to which they are acting to
``terminate support for the communist regime in Cuba,
including removal of troops, closing military
facilities, and ceasing trade subsidies and economic,
nuclear, and other assistance''.
(13) The Cuban Government engages in the illegal
international narcotics trade and harbors fugitives
from justice in the United States.
(14) The Castro government threatens international
peace and security by engaging in acts of armed
subversion and terrorism such as the training and
supplying of groups dedicated to international
violence.
(15) The Castro government has utilized from its
inception and continues to utilize torture in various
forms (including by psychiatry), as well as execution,
exile, confiscation, political imprisonment, and other
forms of terror and repression, as means of retaining
power.
(16) Fidel Castro has defined democratic pluralism as
``pluralistic garbage'' and continues to make clear
that he has no intention of tolerating the
democratization of Cuban society.
(17) The Castro government holds innocent Cubans
hostage in Cuba by no fault of the hostages themselves
solely because relatives have escaped the country.
(18) Although a signatory state to the 1928 Inter-
American Convention on Asylum and the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (which protects
the right to leave one's own country), Cuba
nevertheless surrounds embassies in its capital by
armed forces to thwart the right of its citizens to
seek asylum and systematically denies that right to the
Cuban people, punishing them by imprisonment for
seeking to leave the country and killing them for
attempting to do so (as demonstrated in the case of the
confirmed murder of over 40 men, women, and children
who were seeking to leave Cuba on July 13, 1994).
(19) The Castro government continues to utilize
blackmail, such as the immigration crisis with which it
threatened the United States in the summer of 1994, and
other unacceptable and illegal forms of conduct to
influence the actions of sovereign states in the
Western Hemisphere in violation of the Charter of the
Organization of American States and other international
agreements and international law.
(20) The United Nations Commission on Human Rights
has repeatedly reported on the unacceptable human
rights situation in Cuba and has taken the
extraordinary step of appointing a Special Rapporteur.
(21) The Cuban Government has consistently refused
access to the Special Rapporteur and formally expressed
its decision not to ``implement so much as one comma''
of the United Nations Resolutions appointing the
Rapporteur.
(22) The United Nations General Assembly passed
Resolution 47-139 on December 18, 1992, Resolution 48-
142 on December 20, 1993, and Resolution 49-200 on
December 23, 1994, referencing the Special Rapporteur's
reports to the United Nations and condemning violations
of human rights and fundamental freedoms in Cuba.
(23) Article 39 of Chapter VII of the United Nations
Charter provides that the United Nations Security
Council ``shall determine the existence of any threat
to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression
and shall make recommendations, or decide what measures
shall be taken . . ., to maintain or restore
international peace and security.''.
(24) The United Nations has determined that massive
and systematic violations of human rights may
constitute a ``threat to peace'' under Article 39 and
has imposed sanctions due to such violations of human
rights in the cases of Rhodesia, South Africa, Iraq,
and the former Yugoslavia.
(25) In the case of Haiti, a neighbor of Cuba not as
close to the United States as Cuba, the United States
led an effort to obtain and did obtain a United Nations
Security Council embargo and blockade against that
country due to the existence of a military dictatorship
in power less than 3 years.
(26) United Nations Security Council Resolution 940
of July 31, 1994, subsequently authorized the use of
``all necessary means'' to restore the ``democratically
elected government of Haiti'', and the democratically
elected government of Haiti was restored to power on
October 15, 1994.
(27) The Cuban people deserve to be assisted in a
decisive manner to end the tyranny that has oppressed
them for 36 years, and the continued failure to do so
constitutes ethically improper conduct by the
international community.
(28) For the past 36 years, the Cuban Government has
posed and continues to pose a national security threat
to the United States.

It is the sense of the Congress that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ 22 U.S.C. 6031.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) the acts of the Castro government, including its
massive, systematic, and extraordinary violations of
human rights, are a threat to international peace;
(2) the President should advocate, and should
instruct the United States Permanent Representative to
the United Nations to propose and seek within the
Security Council, a mandatory international embargo
against the totalitarian Cuban Government pursuant to
chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
employing efforts similar to consultations conducted by
United States representatives with respect to Haiti;
(3) any resumption of efforts by any independent
state of the former Soviet Union to make operational
any nuclear facilities in Cuba, and any continuation of
intelligence activities by such a state from Cuba that
are targeted at the United States and its citizens will
have a detrimental impact on United States assistance
to such state; and
(4) in view of the threat to the national security
posed by the operation of any nuclear facility, and the
Castro government's continuing blackmail to unleash
another wave of Cuban refugees fleeing from Castro's
oppression, most of whom find their way to United
States shores, further depleting limited humanitarian
and other resources of the United States, the President
should do all in his power to make it clear to the
Cuban Government that--
(A) the completion and operation of any
nuclear power facility, or
(B) any further political manipulation of the
desire of Cubans to escape that results in mass
migration to the United States,
will be considered an act of aggression which will be
met with an appropriate response in order to maintain
the security of the national borders of the United

people.

law (including section 102 of this Act), except for section
634A of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2394-1)
and comparable notification requirements contained in any Act
making appropriations for foreign operations, export financing,
and related programs, the President is authorized to furnish
assistance and provide other support for individuals and
independent nongovernmental organizations to support democracy-
building efforts for Cuba, including the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ 22 U.S.C. 6039.

SEC. 110.\18\ IMPORTATION SAFEGUARD AGAINST CERTAIN CUBAN PRODUCTS.
(a) Prohibition on Import of and Dealings in Cuban
Products.--The Congress notes that section 515.204 of title 31,
Code of Federal Regulations, prohibits the entry of, and
dealings outside the United States in, merchandise that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ 22 U.S.C. 6040.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) is of Cuban origin;
(2) is or has been located in or transported from or
through Cuba; or
(3) is made or derived in whole or in part of any
article which is the growth, produce, or manufacture of
Cuba.
(b) Effect of NAFTA.--The Congress notes that United States
accession to the North American Free Trade Agreement does not
modify or alter the United States sanctions against Cuba. The
statement of administrative action accompanying that trade
agreement specifically states the following:
(1) ``The NAFTA rules of origin will not in any way
diminish the Cuban sanctions program. . . . Nothing in
the NAFTA would operate to override this
prohibition.''.
(2) ``Article 309(3) [of the NAFTA] permits the
United States to ensure that Cuban products or goods
made from Cuban materials are not imported into the
United States from Mexico or Canada and that United
States products are not exported to Cuba through those
countries.''.
(c) Restriction of Sugar Imports.--The Congress notes that
section 902(c) of the Food Security Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-
198) requires the President not to allocate any of the sugar
import quota to a country that is a net importer of sugar
unless appropriate officials of that country verify to the
President that the country does not import for reexport to the
United States any sugar produced in Cuba.
(d) Assurance Regarding Sugar Products.--Protection of
essential security interests of the United States requires
assurances that sugar products that are entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse for consumption, into the customs territory of
the United States are not products of Cuba.
SEC. 111.\19\ WITHHOLDING OF FOREIGN ASSISTANCE FROM COUNTRIES
SUPPORTING JURAGUA NUCLEAR PLANT IN CUBA.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ 22 U.S.C. 6041.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) President Clinton stated in April 1993 that the
United States opposed the construction of the Juragua
nuclear power plant because of the concerns of the
United States about Cuba's ability to ensure the safe
operation of the facility and because of Cuba's refusal
to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty or ratify
the Treaty of Tlatelolco.
(2) Cuba has not signed the Treaty on the Non-
Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons or ratified the Treaty
of Tlatelolco, the latter of which establishes Latin
America and the Caribbean as a nuclear weapons-free
zone.
(3) The State Department, the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, and the Department of Energy have expressed
concerns about the construction and operation of Cuba's
nuclear reactors.
(4) In a September 1992 report to the Congress, the
General Accounting Office \20\ outlined concerns among
nuclear energy experts about deficiencies in the
nuclear plant project in Juragua, near Cienfuegos,
Cuba, including--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ Sec. 8 of the GAO Human Capital Reform Act of 2004 (Public Law
108-271; 118 Stat. 814) redesignated the ``General Accounting Office''
as the ``Government Accountability Office'' and provided that ``Any
reference to the General Accounting Office in any law, rule,
regulations, certificate, directive, instruction, or other official
paper in force on the date of enactment of this Act shall be considered
to refer and apply to the Government Accountability Office.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A) a lack in Cuba of a nuclear regulatory
structure;
(B) the absence in Cuba of an adequate
infrastructure to ensure the plant's safe
operation and requisite maintenance;
(C) the inadequacy of training of plant
operators;
(D) reports by a former technician from Cuba
who, by examining with x-rays weld sites
believed to be part of the auxiliary plumbing
system for the plant, found that 10 to 15
percent of those sites were defective;
(E) since September 5, 1992, when
construction on the plant was halted, the
prolonged exposure to the elements, including
corrosive salt water vapor, of the primary
reactor components; and
(F) the possible inadequacy of the upper
portion of the reactors' dome retention
capability to withstand only 7 pounds of
pressure per square inch, given that normal
atmospheric pressure is 32 pounds per square
inch and United States reactors are designed to
accommodate pressures of 50 pounds per square
inch.
(5) The United States Geological Survey claims that
it had difficulty determining answers to specific
questions regarding earthquake activity in the area
near Cienfuegos because the Cuban Government was not
forthcoming with information.
(6) The Geological Survey has indicated that the
Caribbean plate, a geological formation near the south
coast of Cuba, may pose seismic risks to Cuba and the
site of the power plant, and may produce large to
moderate earthquakes.
(7) On May 25, 1992, the Caribbean plate produced an
earthquake numbering 7.0 on the Richter scale.
(8) According to a study by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, summer winds could carry
radioactive pollutants from a nuclear accident at the
power plant throughout all of Florida and parts of the
States on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico as far as
Texas, and northern winds could carry the pollutants as
far northeast as Virginia and Washington, D.C.
(9) The Cuban Government, under dictator Fidel
Castro, in 1962 advocated the Soviets' launching of
nuclear missiles to the United States, which
represented a direct and dangerous provocation of the
United States and brought the world to the brink of a
nuclear conflict.
(10) Fidel Castro over the years has consistently
issued threats against the United States Government,
most recently that he would unleash another perilous
mass migration from Cuba upon the enactment of this
Act.
(11) Despite the various concerns about the plant's
safety and operational problems, a feasibility study is
being conducted that would establish a support group to
include Russia, Cuba, and third countries with the
objective of completing and operating the plant.
(b) Withholding of Foreign Assistance.--
(1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, the President shall withhold from assistance
allocated, on or after the date of the enactment of
this Act, for any country an amount equal to the sum of
assistance and credits, if any, provided on or after
such date of enactment by that country or any entity in
that country in support of the completion of the Cuban
nuclear facility at Juragua, near Cienfuegos, Cuba.
(2) Exceptions.--The requirement of paragraph (1) to
withhold assistance shall not apply with respect to--
(A) assistance to meet urgent humanitarian
needs, including disaster and refugee relief;
(B) democratic political reform or rule of
law activities;
(C) the creation of private sector or
nongovernmental organizations that are
independent of government control;
(D) the development of a free market economic
system;
(E) assistance for the purposes described in
the Cooperative Threat Reduction Act of 1993
(title XII of Public Law 103-160); or
(F) assistance under the secondary school
exchange program administered by the United
States Information Agency.
(3) Definition.--As used in paragraph (1), the term
``assistance'' means assistance under the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961, credits, sales, guarantees of
extensions of credit, and other assistance under the
Arms Export Control Act, assistance under titles I and
III of the Agricultural Trade Development and
Assistance Act of 1954, assistance under the FREEDOM
Support Act, and any other program of assistance or
credits provided by the United States to other
countries under other provisions of law.
SEC. 112.\21\ REINSTITUTION OF FAMILY REMITTANCES AND TRAVEL TO CUBA.
It is the sense of the Congress that the President should--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ 22 U.S.C. 6042.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1)(A) before considering the reinstitution of
general licenses for family remittances to Cuba, insist
that, prior to such reinstitution, the Cuban Government
permit the unfettered operation of small businesses
fully empowered with the right to hire others to whom
they may pay wages and to buy materials necessary in
the operation of the businesses, and with such other
authority and freedom as are required to foster the
operation of small businesses throughout Cuba; and
(B) if licenses described in subparagraph (A) are
reinstituted, require a specific license for
remittances described in subparagraph (A) in amounts of
more than $500; and
(2) before considering the reinstitution of general
licenses for travel to Cuba by individuals resident in
the United States who are family members of Cuban
nationals who are resident in Cuba, insist on such
actions by the Cuban Government as abrogation of the
sanction for departure from Cuba by refugees, release
of political prisoners, recognition of the right of
association, and other fundamental freedoms.
SEC. 113.\22\ EXPULSION OF CRIMINALS FROM CUBA.
The President shall instruct all United States Government
officials who engage in official contacts with the Cuban
Government to raise on a regular basis the extradition of or
rendering to the United States all persons residing in Cuba who
are sought by the United States Department of Justice for
crimes committed in the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\22\ 22 U.S.C. 6043.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 114.\23\ NEWS BUREAUS IN CUBA.
(a) Establishment of News Bureaus.--The President is
authorized to establish and implement an exchange of news
bureaus between the United States and Cuba, if the exchange
meets the following conditions:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\23\ 22 U.S.C. 6044.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The exchange is fully reciprocal.
(2) The Cuban Government agrees not to interfere with
the establishment of news bureaus or with the movement
in Cuba of journalists of any United States-based news
organizations, including Radio Marti and Television
Marti.
(3) The Cuban Government agrees not to interfere with
decisions of United States-based news organizations
with respect to individuals assigned to work as
journalists in their news bureaus in Cuba.
(4) The Department of the Treasury is able to ensure
that only accredited journalists regularly employed
with a news gathering organization travel to Cuba under
this subsection.
(5) The Cuban Government agrees not to interfere with
the transmission of telecommunications signals of news
bureaus or with the distribution within Cuba of
publications of any United States-based news
organization that has a news bureau in Cuba.
(b) Assurance Against Espionage.--In implementing this
section, the President shall take all necessary steps to ensure
the safety and security of the United States against espionage
by Cuban journalists it believes to be working for the
intelligence agencies of the Cuban Government.
(c) Fully Reciprocal.--As used in subsection (a)(1), the
term ``fully reciprocal'' means that all news services, news
organizations, and broadcasting services, including such
services or organizations that receive financing, assistance,
or other support from a governmental or official source, are
permitted to establish and operate a news bureau in the United
States and Cuba.
SEC. 115.\24\ EFFECT OF ACT ON LAWFUL UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
ACTIVITIES.
Nothing in this Act prohibits any lawfully authorized
investigative, protective, or intelligence activity of a law
enforcement agency, or of an intelligence agency, of the United
States.

\24\ 22 U.S.C. 6045.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 116.\25\ CONDEMNATION OF CUBAN ATTACK ON AMERICAN AIRCRAFT.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\25\ 22 U.S.C. 6046.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Brothers to the Rescue is a Miami-based
humanitarian organization engaged in searching for and
aiding Cuban refugees in the Straits of Florida, and
was engaged in such a mission on Saturday, February 24,
1996.
(2) The members of Brothers to the Rescue were flying
unarmed and defenseless planes in a mission identical
to hundreds they have flown since 1991 and posed no
threat whatsoever to the Cuban Government, the Cuban
military, or the Cuban people.
(3) Statements by the Cuban Government that Brothers
to the Rescue has engaged in covert operations, bombing
campaigns, and commando operations against the
Government of Cuba have no basis in fact.
(4) The Brothers to the Rescue aircraft notified air
traffic controllers as to their flight plans, which
would take them south of the 24th parallel and close to
Cuban airspace.
(5) International law provides a nation with airspace
over the 12-mile territorial sea.
(6) The response of Fidel Castro's dictatorship to
Saturday's afternoon flight was to scramble 2 fighter
jets from a Havana airfield.
(7) At approximately 3:24 p.m., the pilot of one of
the Cuban MiGs received permission and proceeded to
shoot down one Brothers to the Rescue airplane more
than 6 miles north of the Cuban exclusion zone, or 18
miles from the Cuban coast.
(8) Approximately 7 minutes later, the pilot of the
Cuban fighter jet received permission and proceeded to
shoot down the second Brothers to the Rescue airplane
almost 18.5 miles north of the Cuban exclusion zone, or
30.5 miles from the Cuban coast.
(9) The Cuban dictatorship, if it truly felt
threatened by the flight of these unarmed aircraft,
could have and should have pursued other peaceful
options as required by international law.
(10) The response chosen by Fidel Castro, the use of
lethal force, was completely inappropriate to the
situation presented to the Cuban Government, making
such actions a blatant and barbaric violation of
international law and tantamount to cold-blooded
murder.
(11) There were no survivors of the attack on these
aircraft, and the crew of a third aircraft managed to
escape this criminal attack by Castro's Air Force.
(12) The crew members of the destroyed planes, Pablo
Morales, Carlos Costa, Mario de la Pena, and Armando
Alejandre, were United States citizens from Miami
flying with Brothers to the Rescue on a voluntary
basis.
(13) It is incumbent upon the United States
Government to protect the lives and livelihoods of
United States citizens as well as the rights of free
passage and humanitarian missions.
(14) This premeditated act took place after a week-
long wave of repression by the Cuban Government against
Concilio Cubano, an umbrella organization of human
rights activists, dissidents, independent economists,
and independent journalists, among others.
(15) The wave of repression against Concilio Cubano,
whose membership is committed to peaceful democratic
change in Cuba, included arrests, strip searches, house
arrests, and in some cases sentences to more than 1
year in jail.
(b) Statements by the Congress.--(1) The Congress strongly
condemns the act of terrorism by the Castro regime in shooting
down the Brothers to the Rescue aircraft on February 24, 1996.
(2) The Congress extends its condolences to the families of
Pablo Morales, Carlos Costa, Mario de la Pena, and Armando
Alejandre, the victims of the attack.
(3) The Congress urges the President to seek, in the
International Court of Justice, indictment for this act of
terrorism by Fidel Castro.

TITLE III--PROTECTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS OF UNITED STATES NATIONALS
SEC. 301.\34\ FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\34\ 22 U.S.C. 6081.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Individuals enjoy a fundamental right to own and
enjoy property which is enshrined in the United States
Constitution.
(2) The wrongful confiscation or taking of property
belonging to United States nationals by the Cuban
Government, and the subsequent exploitation of this
property at the expense of the rightful owner,
undermines the comity of nations, the free flow of
commerce, and economic development.
(3) Since Fidel Castro seized power in Cuba in 1959--
(A) he has trampled on the fundamental rights
of the Cuban people; and
(B) through his personal despotism, he has
confiscated the property of--
(i) millions of his own citizens;
(ii) thousands of United States
nationals; and
(iii) thousands more Cubans who
claimed asylum in the United States as
refugees because of persecution and
later became naturalized citizens of
the United States.
(4) It is in the interest of the Cuban people that
the Cuban Government respect equally the property
rights of Cuban nationals and nationals of other
countries.
(5) The Cuban Government is offering foreign
investors the opportunity to purchase an equity
interest in, manage, or enter into joint ventures using
property and assets some of which were confiscated from
United States nationals.
(6) This ``trafficking'' in confiscated property
provides badly needed financial benefit, including hard
currency, oil, and productive investment and expertise,
to the current Cuban Government and thus undermines the
foreign policy of the United States--
(A) to bring democratic institutions to Cuba
through the pressure of a general economic
embargo at a time when the Castro regime has
proven to be vulnerable to international
economic pressure; and
(B) to protect the claims of United States
nationals who had property wrongfully
confiscated by the Cuban Government.
(7) The United States Department of State has
notified other governments that the transfer to third
parties of properties confiscated by the Cuban
Government ``would complicate any attempt to return
them to their original owners''.
(8) The international judicial system, as currently
structured, lacks fully effective remedies for the
wrongful confiscation of property and for unjust
enrichment from the use of wrongfully confiscated
property by governments and private entities at the
expense of the rightful owners of the property.
(9) International law recognizes that a nation has
the ability to provide for rules of law with respect to
conduct outside its territory that has or is intended
to have substantial effect within its territory.
(10) The United States Government has an obligation
to its citizens to provide protection against wrongful
confiscations by foreign nations and their citizens,
including the provision of private remedies.
(11) To deter trafficking in wrongfully confiscated
property, United States nationals who were the victims
of these confiscations should be endowed with a
judicial remedy in the courts of the United States that
would deny traffickers any profits from economically
exploiting Castro's wrongful seizures.
SEC. 302.\35\ LIABILITY FOR TRAFFICKING IN CONFISCATED PROPERTY CLAIMED
BY UNITED STATES NATIONALS.
(a) Civil Remedy.--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

States national who owns the claim to such property for
money damages in an amount equal to the sum of--

Settlement Commission under the
International Claims Settlement Act of
1949, plus interest;
(II) the amount determined under

greater; and
(ii) court costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees.
(B) Interest under subparagraph (A)(i) shall be at
the rate set forth in section 1961 of title 28, United

which the action is brought under this subsection.
(2) Presumption in favor of the certified claims.--
There shall be a presumption that the amount for which
a person is liable under clause (i) of paragraph (1)(A)

rebuttable by clear and convincing evidence that the
amount described in subclause (II) or (III) of that
clause is the appropriate amount of liability under
that clause.
(3) Increased liability.--(A) Any person that
traffics in confiscated property for which liability is
incurred under paragraph (1) shall, if a United States
national owns a claim with respect to that property
which was certified by the Foreign Claims Settlement
Commission under title V of the International Claims
Settlement Act of 1949, be liable for damages computed
in accordance with subparagraph (C).
(B) If the claimant in an action under this
subsection (other than a United States national to whom
subparagraph (A) applies) provides, after the end of
the 3-month period described in paragraph (1) notice
to--
(i) a person against whom the action is to be
initiated, or
(ii) a person who is to be joined as a
defendant in the action,
at least 30 days before initiating the action or
joining such person as a defendant, as the case may be,
and that person, after the end of the 30-day period
beginning on the date the notice is provided, traffics
in the confiscated property that is the subject of the
action, then that person shall be liable to that
claimant for damages computed in accordance with
subparagraph (C).
(C) Damages for which a person is liable under
subparagraph (A) or subparagraph (B) are money damages
in an amount equal to the sum of--
(i) the amount determined under paragraph

(ii) 3 times the amount determined applicable
under paragraph (1)(A)(i).
(D) Notice to a person under subparagraph (B)--
(i) shall be in writing;
(ii) shall be posted by certified mail or
personally delivered to the person; and
(iii) shall contain--
(I) a statement of intention to
commence the action under this section
or to join the person as a defendant
(as the case may be), together with the
reasons therefor;
(II) a demand that the unlawful
trafficking in the claimant's property
cease immediately; and
(III) a copy of the summary statement
published under paragraph (8).
(4) Applicability.--(A) Except as otherwise provided
in this paragraph, actions may be brought under
paragraph (1) with respect to property confiscated
before, on, or after the date of the enactment of this
Act.

the date of the enactment of this Act, a United States
national who, after the property is confiscated,
acquires ownership of a claim to the property by
assignment for value, may not bring an action on the
claim under this section.
(5) Treatment of certain actions.--(A) In the case of
a United States national who was eligible to file a
claim with the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission
under title V of the International Claims Settlement
Act of 1949 but did not so file the claim, that United
States national may not bring an action on that claim
under this section.
(B) In the case of any action brought under this
section by a United States national whose underlying
claim in the action was timely filed with the Foreign
Claims Settlement Commission under title V of the
International Claims Settlement Act of 1949 but was
denied by the Commission, the court shall accept the
findings of the Commission on the claim as conclusive
in the action under this section.
(C) A United States national, other than a United
States national bringing an action under this section
on a claim certified under title V of the International
Claims Settlement Act of 1949, may not bring an action
on a claim under this section before the end of the 2-
year period beginning on the date of the enactment of
this Act.
(D) An interest in property for which a United States
national has a claim certified under title V of the
International Claims Settlement Act of 1949 may not be
the subject of a claim in an action under this section
by any other person. Any person bringing an action
under this section whose claim has not been so
certified shall have the burden of establishing for the
court that the interest in property that is the subject
of the claim is not the subject of a claim so
certified.

declared by the President before such date, and are
being exercised on the date of the enactment of this
Act.
(B) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and
for purposes of this title only, any claim against the
Cuban Government shall not be deemed to be an interest
in property the transfer of which to a United States
national required before the enactment of this Act, or
requires after the enactment of this Act, a license
issued by, or the permission of, any agency of the
United States.
(8) \36\ Publication by attorney general.--Not later
than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the Attorney General shall prepare and publish in

Act of 1949--
(i) if the recovery in the action is equal to
or greater than the amount of the certified
claim, the United States national may not
receive payment on the claim under any
agreement entered into between the United
States and Cuba settling claims covered by such
title, and such national shall be deemed to
have discharged the United States from any
further responsibility to represent the United
States national with respect to that claim;
(ii) if the recovery in the action is less
than the amount of the certified claim, the
United States national may receive payment
under a claims agreement described in clause
(i) but only to the extent of the difference
between the amount of the recovery and the
amount of the certified claim; and
(iii) if there is no recovery in the action,
the United States national may receive payment
on the certified claim under a claims agreement
described in clause (i) to the same extent as
any certified claimant who does not bring an
action under this section.
(B) In the event some or all actions brought under
this section are consolidated by judicial or other
action in such manner as to create a pool of assets
available to satisfy the claims in such actions,
including a pool of assets in a proceeding in
bankruptcy, every claimant whose claim in an action so
consolidated was certified by the Foreign Claims
Settlement Commission under title V of the
International Claims Settlement Act of 1949 shall be
entitled to payment in full of its claim from the
assets in such pool before any payment is made from the
assets in such pool with respect to any claim not so
certified.
(g) Deposit of Excess Payments by Cuba Under Claims
Agreement.--Any amounts paid by Cuba under any agreement
entered into between the United States and Cuba settling
certified claims under title V of the International Claims
Settlement Act of 1949 that are in excess of the payments made
on such certified claims after the application of subsection
(f) shall be deposited into the United States Treasury.
(h) Termination of Rights.--
(1) In general.--All rights created under this
section to bring an action for money damages with
respect to property confiscated by the Cuban
Government--
(A) may be suspended under section 204(a);
and
(B) shall cease upon transmittal to the
Congress of a determination of the President
under section 203(c)(3) that a democratically
elected government in Cuba is in power.
(2) Pending suits.--The suspension or termination of
rights under paragraph (1) shall not affect suits
commenced before the date of such suspension or
termination (as the case may be), and in all such
suits, proceedings shall be had, appeals taken, and
judgments rendered in the same manner and with the same
effect as if the suspension or termination had not
occurred.
(i) Imposition of Filing Fees.--The Judicial Conference of
the United States shall establish a uniform fee that shall be
imposed upon the plaintiff or plaintiffs in each action brought
under this section. The fee should be established at a level
sufficient to recover the costs to the courts of actions
brought under this section. The fee under this subsection is in
addition to any other fees imposed under title 28, United
States Code.

property a certification of a claim to ownership of
that interest that has been made by the Foreign Claims
Settlement Commission under title V of the
International Claims Settlement Act of 1949 (22 U.S.C.
1643 and following).
(2) Claims not certified.--If in an action under this
title a claim has not been so certified by the Foreign
Claims Settlement Commission, the court may appoint a
special master, including the Foreign Claims Settlement
Commission, to make determinations regarding the amount
and ownership of the claim. Such determinations are
only for evidentiary purposes in civil actions brought
under this title and do not constitute certifications
under title V of the International Claims Settlement
Act of 1949.
(3) Effect of determinations of foreign or
international entities.--In determining the amount or
ownership of a claim in an action under this title, the
court shall not accept as conclusive evidence any
findings, orders, judgments, or decrees from
administrative agencies or courts of foreign countries
or international organizations that declare the value
of or invalidate the claim, unless the declaration of
value or invalidation was found pursuant to binding
international arbitration to which the United States or
the claimant submitted the claim.

1949.--Title V of the International Claims Settlement Act of
1949 (22 U.S.C. 1643 and following) is amended by adding at the

Commission, and the Commission may determine, questions of the
amount and ownership of a claim by a United States national (as
defined in section 4 of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic
Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1996), resulting from the

section 503(a), whether or not the United States national
qualified as a national of the United States (as defined in
section 502(1)) at the time of the action by the Government of
Cuba.''.
(c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this Act or in
section 514 of the International Claims Settlement Act of 1949,

Cuban nationals who became United States citizens after
their property was confiscated to be included in the
claims certified to the Secretary of State by the
Foreign Claims Settlement Commission for purposes of
future negotiation and espousal of claims with a
friendly government in Cuba when diplomatic relations
are restored; or
(2) as superseding, amending, or otherwise altering

International Claims Settlement Act of 1949 before the
date of the enactment of this Act.

national interests of the United States so require and because
the Endara government of Panama has indicated its willingness,
and is taking steps, to cooperate fully with the United States
to control narcotics production, trafficking, and money
laundering, the conditions specified in section 802(b)(4)(B) of
the Narcotics Control Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2492(b)(4)(B)) shall
be deemed to be satisfied as of the date of enactment of this
Act with respect to the action taken pursuant to section 802(a)
of that Act that is described in subsection (b) of this
section.
(b) Specification of Benefits.--The action referred to in
subsection (a) is the denial to articles imported from Panama
of preferential tariff treatment under the Generalized System
of Preferences (19 U.S.C. 2461 and following) and the Caribbean
Basic Economic Recovery Act (19 U.S.C. 2701 and following)
pursuant to Presidential Proclamation 5779 of March 23,
1988.\3\

SEC. 104. REPORT ON PANAMANIAN BANK SECRECY LAWS.
(a) Congressional Concerns.--The Congress commends the
Endara Government for its cooperation and assistance in
freezing Panamanian bank accounts believed to be implicated in
narcotics-related and other illegal financial transactions. The
Congress remains concerned, however, that the current status of
bank secrecy laws in Panama may lend itself to continued
criminal abuse of those laws despite the best intentions of the
Endara Government.
(b) Report.--Therefore, no later than April 15, 1990, the
President shall submit a detailed report to the Speaker of the
House of Representatives and the Chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the Senate on specific actions being
undertaken by the Government of Panama to modify the existing
bank secrecy regime in order to facilitate detection and
prosecution of criminal activities, including--
(1) the modification of bank secrecy laws by the
Government of Panama;
(2) the conclusion of an exchange-of-information
agreement between the United States and Panama; and
(3) agreements entered into by the Government of
Panama or in the process of negotiation that are
designed to deter illegal financial transactions and to
facilitate early detection and prosecution of such
illegal activities.

statement of policy
Section 1.\2\ (a) It is the sense of the Congress that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 22 U.S.C. 1942.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) the historic, economic, political, and geographic
relationships among the American Republics are unique
and of special significance and, as appropriate, should
be so recognized in future legislation;
(2) although governmental forms differ among the
American Republics, the peoples of all the Americas are
dedicated to the creation and maintenance of
governments which will promote individual freedom;
(3) the interests of the American Republics are so
interrelated that sound social and economic progress in
each is of importance to all and that lack of it in any
American Republic may have serious repercussions in
others;
(4) for the peoples of Latin America to continue to
progress within the framework of our common heritage of
democratic ideals, there is a compelling need for the
achievement of social and economic advance adequate to
meet the legitimate aspirations of the individual
citizens of the countries of Latin America for a better
way of life;
(5) there is a need for a plan of hemispheric
development, open to all American Republics which
cooperate in such plan, based upon a strong production
effort, the expansion of foreign trade, the creation
and maintenance of internal financial stability, the
growth of free economic and social institutions, and
the development of economic cooperation, including all
possible steps to establish and maintain equitable
rates of exchange and to bring about the progressive
elimination of trade barriers;
(6) mindful of the advantages which the United States
has enjoyed through the existence of a large domestic
market with no internal trade barriers, and believing
that similar advantages can accrue to all countries, it
is the hope of the people of the United States that all
American Republics will jointly exert sustained common
efforts which will speedily achieve that economic
cooperation in the Western Hemisphere which is
essential for lasting peace and prosperity; and
(7) accordingly, it is declared to be the policy of
the people of the United States to sustain and
strengthen principles of individual liberty, free
institutions, private enterprise, and genuine
independence in the Western Hemisphere through
cooperation with all American Republics which
participate in a joint development program based upon
self-help and mutual efforts.
(b) In order to carry forward the above policy, the
Congress hereby--
(1) urges the President through our constitutional
processes to develop cooperative programs on a
bilateral or multilateral basis which will set forth
specific plans of action designed to foster economic
progress and improvements in the welfare and level of
living of all the peoples of the American Republics on
the basis of joint aid, mutual effort, and common
sacrifice;
(2) proposes the development of workable procedures
to expand hemispheric trade and to moderate extreme
price fluctuations in commodities which are of
exceptional importance in the economies of the American
Republics, and encourages the development of regional
economic cooperation among the American Republics;
(3) supports the development of a more accurate and
sympathetic understanding among the peoples of the
American Republics through a greater interchange of
persons, ideas, techniques, and educational,
scientific, and cultural achievements;
(4) supports the strengthening of free democratic
trade unions to raise standards of living through
improved management-labor relations;
(5) favors the progressive development of common
standards with respect to the rights and the
responsibilities of private investment with flows
across national boundaries within the Western
Hemisphere;
(6) supports the consolidation of the public
institutions and agencies of inter-American
cooperation, insofar as feasible, within the structure
of the Organization of American States and the
strengthening of the personnel resources and authority
of the Organization in order that it may play a role of
increasing importance in all aspects of hemispheric
cooperation; and
(7) declares that it is prepared to give careful and
sympathetic consideration to programs which the
President may develop for the purpose of promoting
these policies.

the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Section 1. This Act may be cited as the ``Special
International Security Assistance Act of 1979''.
statement of policy and findings
Sec. 2.\1\ (a) It is the policy of the United States to
support the peace treaty concluded between the Government of
Egypt and the Government of Israel on March 26, 1979. This
treaty is a significant step toward a full and comprehensive
peace in the Middle East. The Congress urges the President to
continue to exert every effort to bring about a comprehensive
peace and to seek an end by all parties to the violence which
could jeopardize this peace.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 22 U.S.C. 3401.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) The peace treaty between Egypt and Israel having been
ratified, the Congress finds that the national interests of the
United States are served--
(1) by authorizing the President to construct air
bases in Israel to replace the Israeli air bases on the
Sinai peninsula that are to be evacuated;
(2) by authorizing additional funds to finance
procurements by Egypt and Israel through the fiscal
year 1982 of defense articles and defense services for
their respective security requirements; and
(3) by authorizing additional funds for economic
assistance for Egypt in order to promote the economic
stability and development of that country and to
support the peace process in the Middle East.
(c) The authorities contained in this Act to implement
certain arrangements in support of the peace treaty between
Egypt and Israel do not signify approval by the Congress of any
other agreement, understanding, or commitment made by the
executive branch.

Act.

supplemental authorization of foreign military sales loan guaranties
for egypt and israel
Sec. 4.\3\ (a) The Congress finds that the legitimate
defense interests of Israel and Egypt require a one time
extraordinary assistance package due to Israel's phased
withdrawal from the Sinai and Egypt's shift from reliance on
Soviet weaponry. The authorizations contained in this section
do not, however, constitute Congressional approval of the sale
of any particular weapons system to either country. These sales
will be reviewed under the normal procedures set forth in
section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act.

(b) In addition to amounts authorized to be appropriated
for the fiscal year 1979 by section 31(a) of the Arms Export
Control Act, there is authorized to be appropriated to the
President to carry out that Act $370,000,000 for the fiscal
year 1979.\4\

Stat. 103) stated: ``For an additional amount for `Foreign military
credit sales' for Egypt and Israel, $370,000,000.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) Funds made available pursuant to subsection (b) of this
section may be used only for guaranties for Egypt and Israel
pursuant to section 24(a) of the Arms Export Control Act. The
principal amount of loans guaranteed with such funds may not
exceed $3,700,000,000 of which $2,200,000,000 shall be
available only for Israel and $1,500,000,000 shall be available
only for Egypt. The principal amount of such guaranteed loans
shall be in addition to the aggregate ceiling authorized for
the fiscal year 1979 by section 31(b) of the Arms Export
Control Act.
(d) Loans guaranteed with funds made available pursuant to
subsection (b) of this section shall be on terms calling for
repayment within a period of not less than thirty years,
including an initial grace period of ten years on repayment of
principal.
(e)(1) The Congress finds that the Governments of Israel
and Egypt each have an enormous external debt burden which may
be made more difficult by virtue of the financing authorized by
this section. The Congress further finds that, as a consequence
of the impact of the debt burdens incurred by Israel and Egypt
under such financing, it may become necessary in future years
to modify the terms of the loans guaranteed with funds made
available pursuant to this section.

Sec. 7.\9\ (a) It is the sense of the Congress that other
countries should give favorable consideration to providing
support for the implementation of the peace treaty between
Egypt and Israel. Therefore, the Congress requests that the
President consult with other countries in order to (1) promote
and develop an agreement for the establishment of a peace
development fund whose purpose would be to underwrite the costs
of implementing a Middle East peace, and (2) encourage
investments in Israel and Egypt and other countries in the
region should they join in Middle East peace agreements.

scientific and technological nature involving Egypt, Israel,
and the United States.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In Afghanistan, Taliban restrictions on women's
participation in society make it nearly impossible for
women to exercise their basic human rights. The Taliban
restrictions on Afghan women's freedom of expression,
association, and movement deny women full participation
in society and, consequently, from effectively securing
basic access to work, education, and health care.
(2) Afghanistan has one of the highest infant (165 of
1000) and child (257 of 1000) mortality rates in the
world.
(3) Only 5 percent of rural and 39 percent of urban
Afghans have access to safe drinking water.
(4) It is estimated that 42 percent of all deaths in
Afghanistan are due to diarrheal diseases caused by
contaminated food and water.
(5) Over one-third of Afghan children under 5 years
of age suffer from malnutrition, 85,000 of whom die
annually.
(6) Seventy percent of the health care system in
Afghanistan is dependent on foreign assistance.
(7) As of May 1998, only 20 percent of hospital
medical and surgical beds dedicated to adults were
available for women, and thousands of Afghan women and
girls are routinely denied health care.
(8) Women are forbidden to leave their homes without
being escorted by a male relative. This prevents many
women from seeking basic necessities like health care
and food for their children. Doctors, virtually all of
whom are male, are also not permitted to provide
certain types of care not deemed appropriate by the
Taliban.
(9) Before the Taliban took control of Kabul, schools
were coeducational, with women accounting for 70
percent of the teaching force. Women represented about
50 percent of the civil service corps, and 40 percent
of the city's physicians were women. Today, the Taliban
prohibits women from working as teachers, doctors, and
in any other occupation.
(10) The Taliban prohibit girls and women from
attending school. In 1998, the Taliban ordered the
closing of more than 100 privately funded schools where
thousands of young women and girls were receiving
education and training in skills that would have helped
them support themselves and their families.
(11) Of the many tens of thousands of war widows in
Afghanistan, many are forced to beg for food and to
sell their possessions because they are not allowed to
work.
(12) Resistance movements courageously continue to
educate Afghan girls in secrecy and in foreign
countries against Taliban law.

SEC. 202.\2\ FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 22 U.S.C. 6901
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) In 1980, the United States opened trade relations
with the People's Republic of China by entering into a
bilateral trade agreement, which was approved by joint
resolution enacted pursuant to section 405(c) of the
Trade Act of 1974.
(2) Since 1980, the President has consistently
extended nondiscriminatory treatment to products of the
People's Republic of China, pursuant to his authority
under section 404 of the Trade Act of 1974.
(3) Since 1980, the United States has entered into
several additional trade-related agreements with the
People's Republic of China, including a memorandum of
understanding on market access in 1992, two agreements
on intellectual property rights protection in 1992 and
1995, and an agreement on agricultural cooperation in
1999.
(4) Trade in goods between the People's Republic of
China and the United States totaled almost
$95,000,000,000 in 1999, compared with approximately
$18,000,000,000 in 1989, representing growth of
approximately 428 percent over 10 years.
(5) The United States merchandise trade deficit with
the People's Republic of China has grown from
approximately $6,000,000,000 in 1989 to over
$68,000,000,000 in 1999, a growth of over 1,000
percent.
(6) The People's Republic of China currently
restricts imports through relatively high tariffs and
nontariff barriers, including import licensing,
technology transfer, and local content requirements.
(7) United States businesses attempting to sell goods
to markets in the People's Republic of China have
complained of uneven application of tariffs, customs
procedures, and other laws, rules, and administrative
measures affecting their ability to sell their products
in the Chinese market.
(8) On November 15, 1999, the United States and the
People's Republic of China concluded a bilateral
agreement concerning terms of the People's Republic of
China's eventual accession to the World Trade
Organization.
(9) The commitments that the People's Republic of
China made in its November 15, 1999, agreement with the
United States promise to eliminate or greatly reduce
the principal barriers to trade with and investment in
the People's Republic of China, if those commitments
are effectively complied with and enforced.
(10) The record of the People's Republic of China in
implementing trade-related commitments has been mixed.
While the People's Republic of China has generally met
the requirements of the 1992 market access memorandum
of understanding and the 1992 and 1995 agreements on
intellectual property rights protection, other measures
remain in place or have been put into place which tend
to diminish the benefit to United States businesses,
farmers, and workers from the People's Republic of
China's implementation of those earlier commitments.
Notably, administration of tariff-rate quotas and other
trade-related laws remains opaque, new local content
requirements have proliferated, restrictions on
importation of animal and plant products are not always
supported by sound science, and licensing requirements
for importation and distribution of goods remain
common. Finally, the Government of the People's
Republic of China has failed to cooperate with the
United States Customs Service in implementing a 1992
memorandum of understanding prohibiting trade in
products made by prison labor.
(11) The human rights record of the People's Republic
of China is a matter of very serious concern to the
Congress. The Congress notes that the Department of
State's 1999 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices
for the People's Republic of China finds that ``[t]he
Government's poor human rights record deteriorated
markedly throughout the year, as the Government
intensified efforts to suppress dissent, particularly
organized dissent.''.
(12) The Congress deplores violations by the
Government of the People's Republic of China of human
rights, religious freedoms, and worker rights that are
referred to in the Department of State's 1999 Country
Reports on Human Rights Practices for the People's
Republic of China, including the banning of the Falun
Gong spiritual movement, denial in many cases,
particularly politically sensitive ones, of effective
representation by counsel and public trials,
extrajudicial killings and torture, forced abortion and
sterilization, restriction of access to Tibet and
Xinjiang, perpetuation of ``reeducation through
labor'', denial of the right of workers to organize
labor unions or bargain collectively with their
employers, and failure to implement a 1992 memorandum
of understanding prohibiting trade in products made by
prison labor.

\16\ 22 U.S.C. 6941.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The opening of world markets through the
elimination of tariff and nontariff barriers has
contributed to a 56-percent increase in exports of
United States goods and services since 1992.
(2) Such export expansion, along with an increase in
trade generally, has helped fuel the longest economic
expansion in United States history.
(3) The United States Government must continue to be
vigilant in monitoring and enforcing the compliance by
our trading partners with trade agreements in order for
United States businesses, workers, and farmers to
continue to benefit from the opportunities created by
market-opening trade agreements.
(4) The People's Republic of China, as part of its
accession to the World Trade Organization, has
committed to eliminating significant trade barriers in
the agricultural, services, and manufacturing sectors
that, if realized, would provide considerable
opportunities for United States farmers, businesses,
and workers.
(5) For these opportunities to be fully realized, the
United States Government must effectively monitor and
enforce its rights under the agreements on the
accession of the People's Republic of China to the WTO.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that--
(1) as a result of the 1988 floods, two-thirds of
Bangladesh has been inundated with flood waters;
(2) over 30 million people in Bangladesh are
homeless, over 2000 dead, tens of thousands ill, and
potentially millions at risk of waterborne disease and
epidemic because of lack of safe water and
overcrowding;
(3) transportation, communications, and normal
commerce in Bangladesh have been seriously interrupted,
with a potential cost of replacing destroyed or damaged
infrastructure of $500,000,000;
(4) agricultural lands have been flooded, with a
potential crop loss of nearly $1,000,000,000;
(5) the people of the United States have respected
and generously supported the efforts of the people of
Bangladesh to maintain their independence, promote
equitable economic growth, and strive for political
pluralism and greater democracy; and
(6) the Government of Bangladesh has taken quick
action to cope with this disaster, one of the most
serious in the history of Bangladesh, but must rely on
a generous response from the international community
for emergency assistance and, even more importantly,
for the expertise and resources needed to prevent the
continual recurrence of such disastrous floods.

This Act may be cited as the ``Anglo-Irish Agreement
Support Act of 1986''.

Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-319; 112 Stat. 3013; 8 U.S.C. 1101 note),
authorizing the establishment of a program ``to allow young people from
disadvantaged areas of designated counties suffering from sectarian
violence and high structural unemployment to enter the United States
for the purpose of developing job skills and conflict resolution
abilities * * *'', in Legislation on Foreign Relations Through 2005,
vol. II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that the Anglo-Irish
Agreement is a clear demonstration of the determination of the
Government of the United Kingdom and the Government of Ireland
to make progress concerning the complex situation in Northern
Ireland. The Congress strongly supports the Anglo-Irish
Agreement and is particularly encouraged that these two
neighboring countries, longstanding friends of the United
States, have joined together to rebuild a land that has too
often been the scene of economic hardship and where many have
suffered severely from the consequences of violence in recent
years. In recognition of our ties of kinship, history, and
commitment to democratic values, the Congress believes the
United Stats should participate in this renewed commitment to
social and economic progress in Northern Ireland and affected
areas of Ireland.
(b) Purposes.--It is, therefore, the purpose of the Act to
provide for United States contributions in support of the
Anglo-Irish Agreement, such contributions to consist of
economic support fund assistance for payment to the
International Fund established pursuant to the Anglo-Irish
Agreement, as well as other assistance to serve as an incentive
for economic development and reconciliation in Ireland and
Northern Ireland. The purpose of these United States
contributions shall be to support the Anglo-Irish Agreement in
promoting reconciliation in Northern Ireland and the
establishment of a society in Northern Ireland in which all may
live in peace, free from discrimination, terrorism, and
intolerance, and with the opportunity for both communities to
participate fully in the structures and processes of
government. ``United States contributions should be used in a
manner that effectively increases employment opportunities in
communities with rates of unemployment higher than the local or
urban average of unemployment in Northern Ireland. In addition,
such contributions should be used to benefit individuals
residing in such communities.\2\

Years 1998 and 1999 (subdivision B of division G of Public Law 105-277;

in a manner that effectively increases employment opportunities in
communities with rates of unemployment higher than the local or urban
average of unemployment in Northern Ireland. In addition, such
contributions should be used to benefit individuals residing in such
communities.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

support fund), $50,000,000 shall be used for United States
contributions to the International Fund. Pending the formal
establishment of the International Fund and submission of the
certification required by section 5(c) of this Act, these funds
may, pursuant to an agreement with the Government of the United
Kingdom and the Government of Ireland, be disbursed into and
maintained in a separate account.

otherwise authorized to be appropriated). Amounts appropriated

for authorization, and title II of that Act (119 Stat. 2181) provided

SEC. 802. FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF POLICY.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Teenage drug use in the United States has doubled
since 1993.
(2) The drug crisis facing the United States is a top
national security threat.
(3) The spread of illicit drugs through United States
borders cannot be halted without an effective drug
interdiction strategy.
(4) Effective drug interdiction efforts have been
shown to limit the availability of illicit narcotics,
drive up the street price, support demand reduction
efforts, and decrease overall drug trafficking and use.
(5) A prerequisite for reducing youth drug use is
increasing the price of drugs. To increase price
substantially, at least 60 percent of drugs must be
interdicted.
(6) In 1987, the national drug control budget
maintained a significant balance between demand and
supply reduction efforts, illustrated as follows:
(A) 29 percent of the total drug control
budget expenditures for demand reduction
programs.
(B) 38 percent of the total drug control
budget expenditures for domestic law
enforcement.
(C) 33 percent of the total drug control
budget expenditures for international drug
interdiction efforts.
(7) In the late 1980's and early 1990's,
counternarcotic efforts were successful, specifically
in protecting the borders of the United States from
penetration by illegal narcotics through increased
seizures by the United States Coast Guard and other
agencies, including a 302 percent increase in pounds of
cocaine seized between 1987 and 1991.
(8) Limiting the availability of narcotics to drug
traffickers in the United States had a promising effect
as illustrated by the decline of illicit drug use
between 1988 and 1991, through a--
(A) 13 percent reduction in total drug use;
(B) 35 percent drop in cocaine use; and
(C) 16 percent decrease in marijuana use.
(9) In 1993, drug interdiction efforts in the transit
zones were reduced due to an imbalance in the national
drug control strategy. This trend has continued through
1995 as shown by the following figures:
(A) 35 percent for demand reduction programs.
(B) 53 percent for domestic law enforcement.
(C) 12 percent for international drug
interdiction efforts.
(10) Supply reduction efforts became a lower priority
for the Administration and the seizures by the United
States Coast Guard and other agencies decreased as
shown by a 68 percent decrease in the pounds of cocaine
seized between 1991 and 1996.
(11) Reductions in funding for comprehensive
interdiction operations like OPERATION GATEWAY and
OPERATION STEELWEB, initiatives that encompassed all
areas of interdiction and attempted to disrupt the
operating methods of drug smugglers along the entire
United States border, have created unprotected United
States border areas which smugglers exploit to move
their product into the United States.
(12) The result of this new imbalance in the national
drug control strategy caused the drug situation in the
United States to become a crisis with serious
consequences including--
(A) doubling of drug-abuse-related arrests
for minors between 1992 and 1996;
(B) 70 percent increase in overall drug use
among children aged 12 to 17;
(C) 80 percent increase in drug use for
graduating seniors since 1992;
(D) a sharp drop in the price of 1 pure gram
of heroin from $1,647 in 1992 to $966 in
February 1996; and
(E) a reduction in the street price of 1 gram
of cocaine from $123 to $104 between 1993 and
1994.
(13) The percentage change in drug use since 1992,
among graduating high school students who used drugs in
the past 12 months, has substantially increased--
marijuana use is up 80 percent, cocaine use is up 80
percent, and heroin use is up 100 percent.
(14) The Department of Defense has been called upon
to support counter-drug efforts of Federal law
enforcement agencies that are carried out in source
countries and through transit zone interdiction, but in
recent years Department of Defense assets critical to
those counter-drug activities have been consistently
diverted to missions that the Secretary of Defense and
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff consider a
higher priority.
(15) The Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, through the Department of
Defense policy referred to as the Global Military Force
Policy, has established the priorities for the
allocation of military assets in the following order:
(1) war; (2) military operations other than war that
might involve contact with hostile forces (such as
peacekeeping operations and noncombatant evacuations);
(3) exercises and training; and (4) operational tasking
other than those involving hostilities (including
counter-drug activities and humanitarian assistance).
(16) Use of Department of Defense assets is critical
to the success of efforts to stem the flow of illegal
drugs from source countries and through transit zones
to the United States.
(17) The placement of counter-drug activities in the
fourth and last priority of the Global Military Force
Policy list of priorities for the allocation of
military assets has resulted in a serious deficiency in
assets vital to the success of source country and
transit zone efforts to stop the flow of illegal drugs
into the United States.
(18) At present the United States faces few, if any,
threats from abroad greater than the threat posed to
the Nation's youth by illegal and dangerous drugs.
(19) The conduct of counter-drug activities has the
potential for contact with hostile forces.
(20) The Department of Defense counter-drug
activities mission should be near the top, not among
the last, of the priorities for the allocation of
Department of Defense assets after the first priority
for those assets for the war-fighting mission of the
Department of Defense.
(b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United
States to--
(1) reduce the supply of drugs and drug use through
an enhanced drug interdiction effort in the major drug
transit countries, as well support a comprehensive
supply country eradication and crop substitution
program, because a commitment of increased resources in
international drug interdiction efforts will create a
balanced national drug control strategy among demand
reduction, law enforcement, and international drug
interdiction efforts; and
(2) develop and establish comprehensive drug
interdiction and drug eradication strategies, and
dedicate the required resources, to achieve the goal of
reducing the flow of illegal drugs into the United
States by 80 percent by as early as January 1, 2003.

SEC. 2. ANDEAN DRUG INITIATIVE.
(a) Findings Relating to Economic Assistance Needs.--The
Congress finds that--
(1) it is crucial to international antidrug efforts
that funds be made available for crop substitution
programs and alternative employment opportunities to
provide alternative sources of income for those
individuals in major coca producing countries who are
dependent on illicit drug production activities, as
well as for eradication, enforcement, rehabilitation
and treatment, and education programs in those
countries; and
(2) the United States and other major donor countries
(including European countries and Japan) should provide
increased economic assistance, on an urgent basis, to
those major coca producing countries which have taken
concrete steps to attack illicit coca production,
processing, and trafficking, by eradication,
interdiction, or other methods which significantly
reduce the flow of cocaine to the world market.
(b) Plan to Address Need for Assistance.--The Congress,
therefore, urges the Director of National Drug Control Policy
to submit to the Congress in February 1990, as part of the
National Drug Control Strategy report required by section 1005
of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (21 U.S.C. 1504), a plan
which addresses the need outlined in subsection (a).
(c) Andean Summit.--The Congress urges the President in the
strongest possible terms to include the following issues on the
formal agenda of the meeting between the President and the
heads of government of Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru, scheduled
for early February 1990:
(1) Bilateral and multilateral antidrug efforts that
make funds available for crop substitution programs and
alternative employment opportunities in major coca
producing countries, as well as for eradication,
enforcement, rehabilitation and treatment, and
education programs in those countries.
(2) Initiatives to improve and expand antidrug
efforts in the Andean region, including through the use
of United States international economic, commercial,
and other policies.
(3) Prior bilateral discussions aimed at increasing
multilateral economic development assistance from
Japan, Canada, and Western European countries for
antidrug efforts in the Andean region.
(4) Debt-for-drugs exchanges that forgive Andean
bilateral debt held by the United States and other
creditor countries in return for commitments by Andean
governments to use the savings in debt service for
antidrug programs, pursuant to agreements negotiated
under section 481(h)(2)(B) of the Foreign Assistance
Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2291(h)(2)(B)) and other
international agreements and initiatives.
(5) Bilateral and multilateral efforts to halt the
transfer of arms, precursor chemicals, and
sophisticated communications equipment and technology
from legitimate sources to drug trafficking
organizations.

days after the conclusion of the Andean summit meeting
described in subsection (c), the President shall report to the

control assistance) may be made available for Mexico.
(2) Procedure for additional assistance.--Assistance
in excess of the amount specified in paragraph (1) may
be made available for Mexico only if the congressional
committees specified in section 634A of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2394-1) are notified
at least 15 days in advance in accordance with the
procedures applicable to reprogrammings under that
section.
(b) Senate Policy Toward the Control of Illegal Drugs in
Mexico.--
(1) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
(A) the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961
requires, except in cases of vital national
interest, that all countries determined to be a
major illicit drug producing country or a major
drug-transit country must be ``cooperating
fully'' with United States antinarcotics
activities in order to continue receiving
various forms of United States foreign
assistance;
(B) relations between the United States and
Mexico have suffered since the 1985 kidnapping
and murder of Drug Enforcement Administration
agent Enrique Camarena and the 1986 torture of
DEA agent Victor Cortez;
(C) testimony before the Senate dating to
1986 has indicated that high-ranking Mexican
government, military, and law enforcement
officials have been involved in illegal
narcotics operations, including narcotics
trafficking operations into the United States;
(D) Mexico has been determined to be the
primary producer of marijuana and heroin
entering the United States and the transit
point for up to 50 percent of the cocaine being
smuggled into this country;
(E) there have been three drug-related mass
murders involving more than 30 victims along
the southwest border in recent months involving
Mexican drug trafficking organizations;
(F) the United States continues to seek, with
Mexican cooperation, hot pursuit and overflight
authority for United States law enforcement
agencies, access to bank records, verification
of eradication figures, information on those
who have been tried, charged, sentenced, and
served time for narcotics-related crimes, and
extradition of criminal figures;
(G) there was sworn in a new president and
Government of Mexico on December 1, 1988,
creating a new era of opportunity for increased
cooperation and mutual friendship;
(H) the new President of Mexico, Carlos
Salinas de Gortari, has indicated a strong
willingness to expand and improve Mexico's
antinarcotics activities;
(I) the Chief of the Mexico City Police
Investigative Service, Miguel Nazar Haro, who
is under indictment in the United States, has
been fired;
(J) the Government of Mexico has arrested
Miguel Angel Felix-Gallardo, one of the most
notorious drug trafficking figures in Mexico;
(K) Mexican officials have for the first time
conceded that corrupt Mexican officials,
including law enforcement, government, and
military officials, have previously protected
Mr. Gallardo; and
(L) criminal charges of electoral fraud
against the mayor of Hermosillo, Carlos Robles,
and homicide and arms charges against the head
of Mexico's Oil Workers Union, Joaquin
Hernandez Galicia, have been filed.
(2) Senate policy.--It is the sense of the Senate
that--
(A) President Salinas should be supported in
his expressed willingness to end the narcotics-
related corruption that has permeated the
Government of Mexico in the past;
(B) Mexico should conclude the prosecution of
the murders of Drug Enforcement Administration
agent Camarena, the perpetrators of torture
against DEA agent Cortez, and make progress in
the prosecution of Felix-Gallardo;
(C) Mexico should demonstrate its commitment
to cooperating fully in antinarcotics
activities by entering into negotiations with
the United States on--
(i) joint overflight and hot pursuit
operations, involving Mexican law
enforcement officials traveling on
United States interdiction aircraft
with Mexican officers having
responsibility for actual arrests of
suspects;
(ii) participation of United States
law enforcement agencies in air
surveillance flights for interdiction
efforts and joint United States-Mexico
border enforcement and interdiction
operations;
(iii) United States requests for
access to bank records to assist in
carrying out narcotics-related
investigations; and
(iv) United States requests for
verification of eradication statistics,
including ground verification; and
(D) the people of Mexico should be supported
in their efforts to rid their country of
illicit narcotics, bribery and corruption, and
electoral fraud.

TRANSIT COUNTRIES.
Section 481(h) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 shall

producing country but, during each of the preceding two
years, has effectively eliminated illicit drug
production; and
(3) the country is cooperating fully with the United
States or has taken adequate steps on its own--
(A) in satisfying the goals agreed to in an
applicable bilateral narcotics agreement with
the United States (as described in section
481(h)(2)(B) of that Act) or a multilateral
agreement which achieves the objectives of that
section;
(B) in preventing narcotic and psychotropic
drugs and other controlled substances
transported through such country from being
sold illegally within the jurisdiction of such
country to United States Government personnel
or their dependents or from being transported,
directly or indirectly, into the United States;
and
(C) in preventing and punishing bribery and
other forms of public corruption which
facilitate the production, processing, or
shipment of narcotic and psychotropic drugs and
other controlled substances, or which
discourage the investigation and prosecution of
such acts.
SEC. 9. COORDINATION OF UNITED STATES TRADE POLICY AND NARCOTICS
CONTROL OBJECTIVES.
(a) Need for Coordination.--It is the sense of the Congress
that United States trade policy should be coordinated with
United States narcotics control objectives, particularly with
respect to issues such as the International Coffee Agreement.
(b) Presidential Review.--The Congress commends the
President for reviewing whether the International Coffee
Agreement negotiations should be resumed and whether the trade
benefits provided in the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act
(19 U.S.C. 2701 and following) should be extended to the major
coca producing countries of Latin America.
SEC. 10.\8\ DEBT-FOR-DRUGS EXCHANGES.
(a) Authority.--The President may release Bolivia,
Colombia, or Peru from its obligation to make payments to the
United States Government of principal and interest on account
of a loan made to that country under the Foreign Assistance Act
of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151 and following; relating to foreign
assistance programs) or credits extended for that country under
section 23 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2763;
relating to foreign military sales credits) if the President
determines that that country is implementing programs to reduce
the flow of cocaine to the United State in accordance with a
formal bilateral or multilateral agreement, to which the United
States is a party, that contains specific, quantitative and
qualitative, performance criteria with respect to those
programs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ 22 U.S.C. 2291 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Congressional Review of Agreements.--The President
shall submit any such agreement with Bolivia, Colombia, or Peru
to the Committee on Foreign Affairs \9\ of the House of
Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate at least 15 days before exercising the authority of
section (a) with respect to that country.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ Sec. 1(a)(5) of Public Law 104-14 (109 Stat. 186) provided that
references to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives shall be treated as referring to the Committee on
International Relations of the House of Representatives.

(c) Coordination with Multilateral Debt Relief
Activities.--The authority provided in subsection (a) shall be
exercised in coordination with multilateral debt relief
activities.
(d) Effective Date.--Subsection (a) takes effect on October
1, 1990.
SEC. 11. MULTILATERAL ANTINARCOTICS STRIKE FORCE.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the Congress has, in the past, indicated its
support for a multilateral, regional approach to
narcotics control efforts;
(2) a proposal to create a multilateral,
international antinarcotics force for the Western
Hemisphere, is a plan worthy of praise and strong
United States support;
(3) the development of a greater capability to assist
the governments of Latin America and the Caribbean,
including the Caribbean Basin nations, is an essential
component of efforts to interdict the flow of narcotics
to the United States; and
(4) regional leadership in the promotion of a
multilateral, paramilitary force to combat the drug
cartels is welcomed and encouraged.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is therefore the sense of the
Congress that--
(1) the proposal for the promotion of a regional
multilateral antinarcotics force for the Western
Hemisphere should be endorsed; and
(2) the United States should work through the United
Nations, the Organization of American States, and other
multilateral organizations to determine the feasibility
of such a force and should assist in the establishment
of this force if it is found to be feasible.
SEC. 12. WEAPONS TRANSFERS TO INTERNATIONAL NARCOTICS TRAFFICKERS.
(a) Halting Weapons Transfers to Narcotics Traffickers.--
The Congress urges the President to seek agreement by the
relevant foreign countries, especially the member countries of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the member countries
of the Warsaw Pact, to join with the United State in taking the
necessary steps to halt transfers of weapons to narcotics
traffickers in Latin America.
(b) Coordination of United States Efforts to Track Illegal
Arms Transfers.--The Congress urges the President to improve
the coordination of United States Government efforts--
(1) to track the flow of weapons illegally from the
United States and other countries to international
narcotics traffickers, and
(2) to prevent such illegal shipments from the United
States.
(c) INTERPOL.--The Congress calls upon the President to
direct the United States representative to INTERPOL to urge
that organization to study the feasibility of creating an
international database on the flow of those types of weapons
that are being acquired illegally by international narcotics
traffickers.

2708(c)) is amended by striking out ``$500,000'' and inserting
in lieu thereof ``$2,000,000''.
(b) Avoiding Duplicative Amendments.--If the Foreign
Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, is
enacted before this Act, and that Act makes the same amendment
as is described in subsection (a), then subsection (a) shall
not take effect, If, however, this Act is enacted before the
Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and

subsection (a), then that amendment as proposed to be made by
that Act shall not take effect.\10\

SEC. 1305. INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY REGULAR BUDGET
ASSESSMENTS AND VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Department has concluded that the
International Atomic Energy Agency (in this section
referred to as the ``IAEA'') is a critical and
effective instrument for verifying compliance with
international nuclear nonproliferation agreements, and
that it serves as an essential barrier to the spread of
nuclear weapons.
(2) The IAEA furthers United States national security
objectives by helping to prevent the proliferation of
nuclear weapons material, especially through its work
on effective verification and safeguards measures.
(3) The IAEA can also perform a critical role in
monitoring and verifying aspects of nuclear weapons
reduction agreements between nuclear weapons states.
(4) The IAEA has adopted a multifaceted action plan,
to be funded by voluntary contributions, to address the
threats posed by radioactive sources that could be used
in a radiological weapon and will be the leading
international agency in this effort.
(5) As the IAEA has negotiated and developed more
effective verification and safeguards measures, it has
experienced significant real growth in its mission,
especially in the vital area of nuclear safeguards
inspections.
(6) Nearly two decades of zero budget growth have
affected the ability of the IAEA to carry out its
mission and to hire and retain the most qualified
inspectors and managers, as evidenced in the decreasing
proportion of such personnel who hold doctorate
degrees.
(7) Increased voluntary contributions by the United
States will be needed if the IAEA is to increase its
safeguards activities and also to implement its action
plan to address the worldwide risks posed by lost or
poorly secured radioactive sources.
(8) Although voluntary contributions by the United
States lessen the IAEA's budgetary constraints, they
cannot readily be used for the long-term capital
investments or permanent staff increases necessary to
an effective IAEA safeguards regime.
(9) The recent United States decision to accept a 25
percent IAEA regular budget assessment was based upon a
correct interpretation of existing law. It was not the
intent of Congress that the United States contributions
to all United Nations-related organizations and
activities be reduced pursuant to the Admiral James W.
Nance and Meg Donovan Foreign Relations Authorization
Act, Fiscal Years 2000 and 2001 (as enacted into law by
section 1000(a)(7) of Public Law 106-113; 113 Stat.
1501A-405 et seq.), which sets 22 percent assessment
rates as benchmarks for the general United Nations
budget, the Food and Agricultural Organization, the
World Health Organization, and the International Labor
Organization. Rather, contributions for an important
and effective agency such as the IAEA should be
maintained at levels commensurate with the criticality
of its mission.
(10) The Secretary should negotiate a gradual and
sustained increase in the regular budget of the
International Atomic Energy Agency, which should begin
with the 2004 budget.
(b) Authorization of Appropriations.--Of the funds
authorized to be appropriated for Nonproliferation, Anti-
terrorism, Demining, and Related Programs there is authorized
to be appropriated $60,000,000 for fiscal year 2003 for a
United States voluntary contribution to the International
Atomic Energy Agency, including for the purpose of implementing
the Protection Against Nuclear Terrorism program adopted by the
International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors in March
2002.

Subtitle B--Russian Federation Debt Reduction for Nonproliferation
SEC. 1311.\16\ SHORT TITLE.
This subtitle may be cited as the ``Russian Federation Debt
for Nonproliferation Act of 2002''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ 22 U.S.C. 5952 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 1312.\16\ FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) It is in the vital security interests of the
United States to prevent the spread of weapons of mass
destruction to additional states or to terrorist
organizations, and to ensure that other nations'
obligations to modify their stockpiles of such arms in
accordance with treaties, executive agreements, or
political commitments are fulfilled.
(2) In particular, it is in the vital national
security interests of the United States to ensure
that--
(A) all stocks of nuclear weapons and
weapons-usable nuclear material in the Russian
Federation are secure and accounted for;
(B) stocks of nuclear weapons and weapons-
usable nuclear material that are excess to
military needs in the Russian Federation are
monitored and reduced;
(C) any chemical or biological weapons,
related materials, and facilities in the
Russian Federation are destroyed;
(D) the Russian Federation's nuclear weapons
complex is reduced to a size appropriate to its
post-Cold War missions, and its experts in
weapons of mass destruction technologies are
shifted to gainful and sustainable civilian
employment;
(E) the Russian Federation's export control
system blocks any proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction, the means of delivering such
weapons, and materials, equipment, know-how, or
technology that would be used to develop,
produce, or deliver such weapons; and
(F) these objectives are accomplished with
sufficient monitoring and transparency to
provide confidence that they have in fact been
accomplished and that the funds provided to
accomplish these objectives have been spent
efficiently and effectively.
(3) United States programs should be designed to
accomplish these vital objectives in the Russian
Federation as rapidly as possible, and the President
should develop and present to Congress a plan for doing
so.
(4) Substantial progress has been made in United
States-Russian Federation cooperative programs to
achieve these objectives, but much more remains to be
done to reduce the urgent risks to United States
national security posed by the current state of the
Russian Federation's weapons of mass destruction
stockpiles and complexes.
(5) The threats posed by inadequate management of
weapons of mass destruction stockpiles and complexes in
the Russian Federation remain urgent. Incidents in
years immediately preceding 2001, which have been cited
by the Russia Task Force of the Secretary of Energy
Advisory Board, include--
(A) a conspiracy at one of the Russian
Federation's largest nuclear weapons facilities
to steal nearly enough highly enriched uranium
for a nuclear bomb;
(B) an attempt by an employee of the Russian
Federation's premier nuclear weapons facility
to sell nuclear weapons designs to agents of
Iraq and Afghanistan; and
(C) the theft of radioactive material from a
Russian Federation submarine base.
(6) Addressing these threats to United States and
world security will ultimately consume billions of
dollars, a burden that will have to be shared by the
Russian Federation, the United States, and other
governments, if these threats are to be neutralized.
(7) The creation of new funding streams could
accelerate progress in reducing these threats to United
States security and help the government of the Russian
Federation to fulfill its responsibility for secure
management of its weapons stockpiles and complexes as
United States assistance phases out.
(8) The Russian Federation has a significant foreign
debt, a substantial proportion of which it inherited
from the Soviet Union.
(9) Past debt-for-environment exchanges, in which a
portion of a country's foreign debt is canceled in
return for certain environmental commitments or
payments by that country, suggest that a debt-for-
nonproliferation exchange with the Russian Federation
could be designed to provide additional funding for
nonproliferation and arms reduction initiatives.
(10) Most of the Russian Federation's official
bilateral debt is held by United States allies that are
advanced industrial democracies. Since the issues
described pose threats to United States allies as well,
United States leadership that results in a larger
contribution from United States allies to cooperative
threat reduction activities will be needed.
(11) At the June 2002 meeting of the G-8 countries,
agreement was achieved on a G-8 Global Partnership
against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass
Destruction, under which the advanced industrial
democracies committed to contribute $20,000,000,000 to
nonproliferation programs in the Russian Federation
during a 10-year period, with each contributing country
having the option to fund some or all of its
contribution through reduction in the Russian
Federation's official debt to that country.
(12) The Russian Federation's Soviet-era official
debt to the United States is estimated to be
$480,000,000 in Lend-Lease debt and $2,250,000,000 in
debt as a result of credits extended under title I of
the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act
of 1954 (7 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this subtitle are--
(1) to facilitate the accomplishment of the United
States objectives described in the findings set forth
in subsection (a) by providing for the use of a portion
of the Russian Federation's foreign debt to fund
nonproliferation programs, thus allowing the use of
additional resources for these purposes; and
(2) to help ensure that the resources made available
to the Russian Federation are targeted to the
accomplishment of the United States objectives
described in the findings set forth in subsection (a).

democracies, especially the largest holders of Soviet-
era Russian debt, dedicate significant proportions of
their bilateral official debt with the Russian
Federation or equivalent amounts of direct assistance
to the G-8 Global Partnership against the Spread of
Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction, as agreed
upon in the Statement by G-8 Leaders on June 27, 2002;

SEC. 1332.\19\ FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ 50 U.S.C. 2357.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) United States nonproliferation efforts in the
independent states of the former Soviet Union have
achieved important results in ensuring that weapons of
mass destruction, weapons-usable material and
technology, and weapons-related knowledge remain beyond
the reach of terrorists and weapons-proliferating
states;
(2) although these efforts are in the United States
national security interest, the effectiveness of these
efforts has suffered from a lack of coordination within
and among United States Government agencies;
(3) increased spending and investment by the United
States private sector on nonproliferation efforts in
the independent states of the former Soviet Union,
specifically, spending and investment by the United
States private sector in job creation initiatives and
proposals for unemployed Russian Federation weapons
scientists and technicians, are making an important
contribution in ensuring that knowledge related to
weapons of mass destruction remains beyond the reach of
terrorists and weapons-proliferating states; and
(4) increased spending and investment by the United
States private sector on nonproliferation efforts in
the independent states of the former Soviet Union make
advisable the establishment of a coordinating body to
ensure that United States public and private efforts
are not in conflict, and to ensure that public spending
on efforts by the independent states of the former
Soviet Union is maximized to ensure efficiency and
further United States national security interests.

SEC. 1605. COMPLIANCE WITH THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONVENTION.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On April 24, 1997, the Senate provided its advice
and consent to ratification of the Chemical Weapons
Convention subject to the condition, among others, that
the President certify that no sample collected in the
United States pursuant to the Convention will be
transferred for analysis to any laboratory outside the
territory of the United States.
(2) Congress enacted the same condition into law as
section 304(f)(1) of the Chemical Weapons Convention
Implementation Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6724(f)(1)).
(3) Part II, paragraph 57, of the Verification Annex
of the Convention requires that all samples requiring
off-site analysis under the Convention shall be
analyzed by at least two laboratories that have been
designated as capable of conducting such testing by the
OPCW.
(4) The only United States laboratory currently
designated by the OPCW is the United States Army
Edgewood Forensic Science Laboratory.
(5) In order to comply with the Chemical Weapons
Convention, the certification submitted pursuant to
condition (18) of the resolution of ratification of the
Chemical Weapons Convention, and the requirements of
section 304(f)(1) of the Chemical Weapons Convention
Implementation Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6724(f)(1)), the
United States must possess, at a minimum, a second
OPCW-designated laboratory.
(6) The possession of a second OPCW-designated
laboratory is necessary in view of the potential for a
challenge inspection to be initiated against the United
States by a foreign nation.
(7) The possession of a third OPCW-designated
laboratory would enable the OPCW to implement its
normal sample analysis procedures, which randomly
assign real and manufactured samples so that no
laboratory knows the origin of a given sample.
(8) To qualify as a designated laboratory, a
laboratory must be certified under ISO Guide 25 or a
higher standard and complete three proficiency tests.
The laboratory must have the full capability to handle
substances listed on Schedule 1 of the Annex on
Schedules of Chemicals of the Chemical Weapons
Convention. In order to handle such substances in the
United States, a laboratory also must operate under a
bailment agreement with the United States Army.
(9) Several existing United States commercial
laboratories have approved quality control systems,
already possess bailment agreements with the United
States Army, and have the capabilities necessary to
obtain OPCW designation.
(10) In order to bolster the legitimacy of United
States analysis of samples taken on its national
territory, it is preferable that one designated
laboratory not be a United States Government facility.
(b) Establishment of Non-Governmental Designated
Laboratory.--
(1) Report.--Not later than March 1, 2003, the United
States National Authority, as designated under section
101 of the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation
Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6711) (referred to in this
section as the ``National Authority''), shall submit to
the appropriate congressional committees a report
detailing a plan for securing OPCW designation of a
nongovernmental United States laboratory by December 1,
2004.
(2) Directive.--Not later than June 1, 2003, the
National Authority shall select, through competitive
procedures, a nongovernmental laboratory within the
United States to pursue designation by the OPCW.
(3) Delegation.--The National Authority may delegate
the authority and administrative responsibility for
carrying out paragraph (2) to one or more of the heads
of the agencies described in section 101(b)(2) of the
Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1998
(22 U.S.C. 6711(b)(2)).
(c) Definitions.--In this section:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 22 U.S.C. 1928 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In the NATO Participation Act of 1994 (title II
of Public Law 103-447; 22 U.S.C. 1928 note), Congress
declared that ``full and active participants in the
Partnership for Peace in a position to further the
principles of the North Atlantic Treaty and to
contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area
should be invited to become full NATO members in
accordance with Article 10 of such Treaty at an early
date . . .''.
(2) In the NATO Enlargement Facilitation Act of 1996
(title VI of section 101(c) of title I of division A of
Public Law 104-208; 22 U.S.C. 1928 note), Congress
called for the prompt admission of Poland, Hungary, the
Czech Republic, and Slovenia to NATO, and declared that
``in order to promote economic stability and security
in Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania,
Bulgaria, Albania, Moldova, and Ukraine . . . the
process of enlarging NATO to include emerging
democracies in Central and Eastern Europe should not be
limited to consideration of admitting Poland, Hungary,
the Czech Republic, and Slovenia as full members of the
NATO Alliance''.
(3) In the European Security Act of 1998 (title XXVII
of division G of Public Law 105-277; 22 U.S.C. 1928
note), Congress declared that ``Poland, Hungary, and
the Czech Republic should not be the last emerging
democracies in Central and Eastern Europe invited to
join NATO'' and that ``Romania, Estonia, Latvia,
Lithuania, and Bulgaria . . . would make an outstanding
contribution to furthering the goals of NATO and
enhancing stability, freedom, and peace in Europe
should they become NATO members [and] upon complete
satisfaction of all relevant criteria should be invited
to become full NATO members at the earliest possible
date''.
(4) At the Madrid Summit of the NATO Alliance in July
1997, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic were
invited to join the Alliance in the first round of NATO
enlargement, and the NATO heads of state and government
issued a declaration stating ``[t]he Alliance expects
to extend further invitations in coming years to
nations willing and able to assume the responsibilities
and obligations of membership . . . [n]o European
democratic country whose admission would fulfill the
objectives of the [North Atlantic] Treaty will be
excluded from consideration''.
(5) At the Washington Summit of the NATO Alliance in
April 1999, the NATO heads of state and government
issued a communique declaring ``[w]e pledge that NATO
will continue to welcome new members in a position to
further the principles of the [North Atlantic] Treaty
and contribute to peace and security in the Euro-
Atlantic area . . . [t]he three new members will not be
the last . . . [n]o European democratic country whose
admission would fulfill the objectives of the Treaty
will be excluded from consideration, regardless of its
geographic location . . .''.
(6) In late 2002, NATO will hold a summit in Prague,
the Czech Republic, at which it will decide which
additional emerging democracies in Central and Eastern
Europe to invite to join the Alliance in the next round
of NATO enlargement.
(7) In May 2000 in Vilnius, Lithuania, the foreign
ministers of Albania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia,
Lithuania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia issued a statement
(later joined by Croatia) declaring that their
countries will cooperate in jointly seeking NATO
membership in the next round of NATO enlargement, that
the realization of NATO membership by one or more of
these countries would be a success for all, and that
eventual NATO membership for all of these countries
would be a success for Europe and NATO.
(8) On June 15, 2001, in a speech in Warsaw, Poland,
President George W. Bush stated ``[a]ll of Europe's new
democracies, from the Baltic to the Black Sea and all
that lie between, should have the same chance for
security and freedom--and the same chance to join the
institutions of Europe--as Europe's old democracies
have . . . I believe in NATO membership for all of
Europe's democracies that seek it and are ready to
share the responsibilities that NATO brings . . . [a]s
we plan to enlarge NATO, no nation should be used as a
pawn in the agenda of others . . . [w]e will not trade
away the fate of free European peoples . . . [n]o more
Munichs . . . [n]o more Yaltas . . . [a]s we plan the
Prague Summit, we should not calculate how little we
can get away with, but how much we can do to advance
the cause of freedom''.
(9) On October 22, 1996, in a speech in Detroit,
Michigan, former President William J. Clinton stated
``NATO's doors will not close behind its first new
members . . . NATO should remain open to all of
Europe's emerging democracies who are ready to shoulder
the responsibilities of membership . . . [n]o nation
will be automatically excluded . . . [n]o country
outside NATO will have a veto . . . [a] gray zone of
insecurity must not reemerge in Europe''.

SEC. 1241. SHORT TITLE.
This subtitle may be cited as the ``Defense Offsets
Disclosure Act of 1999''.
SEC. 1242. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF POLICY.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) A fair business environment is necessary to
advance international trade, economic stability, and
development worldwide, is beneficial for American
workers and businesses, and is in the United States
national interest.
(2) In some cases, mandated offset requirements can
cause economic distortions in international defense
trade and undermine fairness and competitiveness, and
may cause particular harm to small- and medium-sized
businesses.
(3) The use of offsets may lead to increasing
dependence on foreign suppliers for the production of
United States weapons systems.
(4) The offset demands required by some purchasing
countries, including some close allies of the United
States, equal or exceed the value of the base contract
they are intended to offset, mitigating much of the
potential economic benefit of the exports.
(5) Offset demands often unduly distort the prices of
defense contracts.
(6) In some cases, United States contractors are
required to provide indirect offsets which can
negatively impact nondefense industrial sectors.
(7) Unilateral efforts by the United States to
prohibit offsets may be impractical in the current era
of globalization and would severely hinder the
competitiveness of the United States defense industry
in the global market.
(8) The development of global standards to manage and
restrict demands for offsets would enhance United
States efforts to mitigate the negative impact of
offsets.
(b) Declaration of Policy.--It is the policy of the United
States to monitor the use of offsets in international defense
trade, to promote fairness in such trade, and to ensure that
foreign participation in the production of United States
weapons systems does not harm the economy of the United States.
SEC. 1243. DEFINITIONS.

range of industrial and commercial benefits provided to
foreign governments as an inducement or condition to
purchase military goods or services, including benefits

procurement, marketing and financial assistance, and
joint ventures.

It is the sense of Congress that--

address trade fairness by establishing reasonable,
business-friendly standards for the use of offsets in
international business transactions between the United
States and its trading partners and competitors;
(2) the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State,
the Secretary of Commerce, and the United States Trade
Representative, or their designees, should raise with
other industrialized nations at every suitable venue
the need for transparency and reasonable standards to
govern the role of offsets in international defense
trade;
(3) the United States Government should enter into
discussions regarding the establishment of multilateral
standards for the use of offsets in international
defense trade through the appropriate multilateral
fora, including such organizations as the Transatlantic
Economic Partnership, the Wassenaar Arrangement, the G-
8, and the World Trade Organization; and
(4) the United States Government, in entering into
the discussions described in paragraph (3), should take
into account the distortions produced by the provision
of other benefits and subsidies, such as export
financing, by various countries to support defense
trade.

SEC. 102.\3\ FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 22 U.S.C. 2151b-1 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The World Health Organization estimates that
there are 300,000,000 to 500,000,000 cases of malaria
each year.
(2) According to the World Health Organization, more
than 1,000,000 persons are estimated to die due to
malaria each year.
(3) According to the National Institutes of Health,
about 40 percent of the world's population is at risk
of becoming infected.
(4) About half of those who die each year from
malaria are children under 9 years of age.
(5) Malaria kills one child each 30 seconds.
(6) Although malaria is a public health problem in
more than 90 countries, more than 90 percent of all
malaria cases are in sub-Saharan Africa.
(7) In addition to Africa, large areas of Central and
South America, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the
Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and the Middle
East are high risk malaria areas.
(8) These high risk areas represent many of the
world's poorest nations.
(9) Malaria is particularly dangerous during
pregnancy. The disease causes severe anemia and is a
major factor contributing to maternal deaths in malaria
endemic regions.
(10) ``Airport malaria'', the importing of malaria by
international aircraft and other conveyances, is
becoming more common, and the United Kingdom reported
2,364 cases of malaria in 1997, all of them imported by
travelers.
(11) In the United States, of the 1,400 cases of
malaria reported to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention in 1998, the vast majority were imported.
(12) Between 1970 and 1997, the malaria infection
rate in the United States increased by about 40
percent.
(13) Malaria is caused by a single-cell parasite that
is spread to humans by mosquitoes.
(14) No vaccine is available and treatment is
hampered by development of drug-resistant parasites and
insecticide-resistant mosquitoes.

SEC. 502. AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE TOWING ASSISTANCE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States LST Association (in this
section referred to as the ``Association'') is a
patriotic organization dedicated to honoring the
memories of those brave American servicemen who
selflessly served, and often made the ultimate
sacrifice, in the defense of the United States, its
allies, and the principles of democracy and freedom.
(2) The Association is currently engaged in efforts
to return to the United States the former United States
warship, Landing Ship Tank 325 (LST 325) to serve as a
memorial to those American servicemen who went into
harm's way aboard and from such warships.
(b) Authorization.--The Secretary of the Navy is authorized
to provide towing services from a suitable vessel of the United
States Navy to tow the former LST 325 from its present
location, or a location to be determined by the Secretary, to a
port on the East Coast of the United States to be determined by
the Secretary. The Secretary of the Navy may not provide such
services unless the Secretary finds that the provision of such
services will not interfere with military operations, military
readiness, naval force presence requirements, or the
accomplishment of the specific missions of the vessel providing
the towing services.
(c) Limitations.--The services authorized by subsection (b)
may not be provided except as part of a regular rotation of the
vessel providing the services back to the United States. Such
services may be provided only after--
(1) the former LST 325 has been determined by a
professional marine survey or by the United States
Coast Guard to be seaworthy for towing and meeting
requirements for entry into a United States port; and
(2) the Association has named the United States Navy
as an additional insured party to the tow hull policy
covering the former LST 325, including a waiver of
subrogation.
(d) Additional Terms and Conditions.--The Secretary of the
Navy may require such additional terms and conditions in
connection with the provision of towing services under this
section as the Secretary considers appropriate to protect the
interests of the United States.
SEC. 503. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN BULGARIA.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that the American University
in Bulgaria--

Europe the intellectual rigor of the American system of
higher education;

(6) is a cost-effective institution of higher
learning and offers a high-quality education.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the United States should assist the American University in

Congress makes the following findings and declarations:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 22 U.S.C. 2151f note. Sec. 3 of the Microenterprise Results and
Accountability Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-484; 118 Stat. 3922) amended
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 by creating a new title VI--
Microenterprise Development Assistance. Sec. 4 of that Act redesignated
22 U.S.C. 2151f as 22 U.S.C. 2212.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) According to the World Bank, more than
1,200,000,000 people in the developing world, or one-
fifth of the world's population, subsist on less than
$1 a day.
(2) Over 32,000 of their children die each day from
largely preventable malnutrition and disease.
(3)(A) Women in poverty generally have larger work
loads and less access to educational and economic
opportunities than their male counterparts.
(B) Directly aiding the poorest of the poor,
especially women, in the developing world has a
positive effect not only on family incomes, but also on
child nutrition, health and education, as women in
particular reinvest income in their families.
(4)(A) The poor in the developing world, particularly
women, generally lack stable employment and social
safety nets.
(B) Many turn to self-employment to generate a
substantial portion of their livelihood. In Africa,
over 80 percent of employment is generated in the
informal sector of the self-employed poor.
(C) These poor entrepreneurs are often trapped in
poverty because they cannot obtain credit at reasonable
rates to build their asset base or expand their
otherwise viable self-employment activities.
(D) Many of the poor are forced to pay interest rates
as high as 10 percent per day to money lenders.
(5)(A) The poor are able to expand their incomes and
their businesses dramatically when they can access
loans at reasonable interest rates.
(B) Through the development of self-sustaining
microfinance programs, poor people themselves can lead
the fight against hunger and poverty.
(6)(A) On February 2-4, 1997, a global Microcredit
Summit was held in Washington, District of Columbia, to
launch a plan to expand access to credit for self-
employment and other financial and business services to
100,000,000 of the world's poorest families, especially
the women of those families, by 2005. While this scale
of outreach may not be achievable in this short time-
period, the realization of this goal could dramatically
alter the face of global poverty.
(B) With an average family size of five, achieving
this goal will mean that the benefits of microfinance
will thereby reach nearly half of the world's more than
1,000,000,000 absolute poor people.
(7)(A) Nongovernmental organizations, such as those
that comprise the Microenterprise Coalition (such as
the Grameen Bank (Bangladesh), K-REP (Kenya), and
networks such as Accion International, the Foundation
for International Community Assistance (FINCA), and the
credit union movement) are successful in lending
directly to the very poor.
(B) Microfinance institutions such as BRAC
(Bangladesh), BancoSol (Bolivia), SEWA Bank (India),
and ACEP (Senegal) are regulated financial institutions
that can raise funds directly from the local and
international capital markets.
(8)(A) Microenterprise institutions not only reduce
poverty, but also reduce the dependency on foreign
assistance.
(B) Interest income on the credit portfolio is used
to pay recurring institutional costs, assuring the
long-term sustainability of development assistance.
(9) Microfinance institutions leverage foreign
assistance resources because loans are recycled,
generating new benefits to program participants.
(10)(A) The development of sustainable microfinance
institutions that provide credit and training, and
mobilize domestic savings, is a critical component to a
global strategy of poverty reduction and broad-based
economic development.
(B) In the efforts of the United States to lead the
development of a new global financial architecture,
microenterprise should play a vital role. The recent
shocks to international financial markets demonstrate
how the financial sector can shape the destiny of
nations. Microfinance can serve as a powerful tool for
building a more inclusive financial sector which serves
the broad majority of the world's population including
the very poor and women and thus generate more social
stability and prosperity.
(C) Over the last two decades, the United States has
been a global leader in promoting the global
microenterprise sector, primarily through its
development assistance programs at the United States
Agency for International Development. Additionally, the
Department of the Treasury and the Department of State
have used their authority to promote microenterprise in
the development programs of international financial
institutions and the United Nations.
(11)(A) In 1994, the United States Agency for
International Development launched the
``Microenterprise Initiative'' in partnership with the
Congress.
(B) The initiative committed to expanding funding for
the microenterprise programs of the Agency, and set a
goal that, by the end of fiscal year 1996, one-half of
all microenterprise resources would support programs
and institutions that provide credit to the poorest,
with loans under $300.
(C) In order to achieve the goal of the microcredit
summit, increased investment in microfinance
institutions serving the poorest will be critical.
(12) Providing the United States share of the global
investment needed to achieve the goal of the
microcredit summit will require only a small increase
in United States funding for international microcredit
programs, with an increased focus on institutions
serving the poorest.
(13)(A) In order to reach tens of millions of the
poorest with microcredit, it is crucial to expand and
replicate successful microfinance institutions.
(B) These institutions need assistance in developing
their institutional capacity to expand their services
and tap commercial sources of capital.
(14) Nongovernmental organizations have demonstrated
competence in developing networks of local microfinance
institutions and other assistance delivery mechanisms
so that they reach large numbers of the very poor, and
achieve financial sustainability.
(15) Recognizing that the United States Agency for
International Development has developed very effective
partnerships with nongovernmental organizations, and
that the Agency will have fewer missions overseas to
carry out its work, the Agency should place priority on
investing in those nongovernmental network institutions
that meet performance criteria through the central
funding mechanisms of the Agency.
(16) By expanding and replicating successful
microfinance institutions, it should be possible to
create a global infrastructure to provide financial
services to the world's poorest families.
(17)(A) The United States can provide leadership to
other bilateral and multilateral development agencies
as such agencies expand their support to the
microenterprise sector.
(B) The United States should seek to improve
coordination among G-7 countries in the support of the
microenterprise sector in order to leverage the
investment of the United States with that of other
donor nations.
(18) Through increased support for microenterprise,
especially credit for the poorest, the United States
can continue to play a leadership role in the global
effort to expand financial services and opportunity to
100,000,000 of the poorest families on the planet.

SEC. 109. UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AS GLOBAL
LEADER AND COORDINATOR OF BILATERAL AND
MULTILATERAL MICROENTERPRISE ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES.
(a) Findings and Policy.--Congress finds and declares
that--
(1) the United States can provide leadership to other
bilateral and multilateral development agencies as such
agencies expand their support to the microenterprise
sector; and
(2) the United States should seek to improve
coordination among G-7 countries in the support of the
microenterprise sector in order to leverage the
investment of the United States with that of other
donor nations.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) the Administrator of the United States Agency for
International Development and the Secretary of State
should seek to support and strengthen the effectiveness
of microfinance activities in United Nations agencies,
such as the United Nations Development Program (UNDP),
which have provided key leadership in developing the
microenterprise sector; and
(2) the Secretary of the Treasury should instruct
each United States Executive Director of the
multilateral development banks (MDBs) to advocate the
development of a coherent and coordinated strategy to
support the microenterprise sector and an increase of
multilateral resource flows for the purposes of
building microenterprise retail and wholesale
intermediaries.
SEC. 110. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON CONSIDERATION OF MEXICO AS A KEY
PRIORITY IN MICROENTERPRISE FUNDING ALLOCATIONS.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) An estimated 45,000,000 of Mexico's 100,000,000
population currently lives below the poverty line,
accounting for 20 percent of all poor in Latin America.
(2) Mexico cannot create enough salaried jobs to
absorb new workers entering the labor force.
(3) While many poor families depend on
microenterprise initiatives to generate a livelihood,
the United States Agency for International Development
currently has two microcredit projects in Mexico,
receiving less than 1 percent of overall
microenterprise funding in Latin America and the
Caribbean during the last decade.
(4) Mexico's microenterprise activity has been
constrained because its financial institutions cannot
expand financial services to a larger clientele due to
a lack of capital, inefficient financial and
administrative management, and a lack of institutional
support for microfinance institutions' particular
needs.
(5) Mexican nongovernmental organizations, such as
Compartamos, have demonstrated competence in developing
local microfinance programs.
(6) On July 2, 2000, Vicente Fox Quesada of the
Alliance for Change was elected President of the United
Mexican States.
(7) The President-elect of Mexico has identified
entrepreneurship and the start-up of new microcredit
institutions as key economic priorities.
(8) Microenterprise and entrepreneurial initiatives
have proven to be successful components of free market
development and economic stability.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) providing Mexico's poor with economic opportunity
and microfinance services is fundamental to Mexico's
economic development;
(2) microenterprise can have a positive impact on
Mexico's free market development; and
(3) the United States Agency for International
Development should consider Mexico as a key priority in
its microenterprise funding allocations.
TITLE II--INTERNATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION AND GOOD GOVERNANCE ACT OF 2000
SEC. 201.\15\ SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``International Anti-
Corruption and Good Governance Act of 2000''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ 22 U.S.C. 2151 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 202.\16\ FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ 22 U.S.C. 2151c note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Widespread corruption endangers the stability and
security of societies, undermines democracy, and
jeopardizes the social, political, and economic
development of a society.
(2) Corruption facilitates criminal activities, such
as money laundering, hinders economic development,
inflates the costs of doing business, and undermines
the legitimacy of the government and public trust.
(3) In January 1997 the United Nations General
Assembly adopted a resolution urging member states to
carefully consider the problems posed by the
international aspects of corrupt practices and to study
appropriate legislative and regulatory measures to
ensure the transparency and integrity of financial
systems.
(4) The United States was the first country to
criminalize international bribery through the enactment
of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and United
States leadership was instrumental in the passage of
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) Convention on Combatting Bribery of
Foreign Public Officials in International Business
Transactions.
(5) The Vice President, at the Global Forum on
Fighting Corruption in 1999, declared corruption to be
a direct threat to the rule of law and the Secretary of
State declared corruption to be a matter of profound
political and social consequence for our efforts to
strengthen democratic governments.
(6) The Secretary of State, at the Inter-American
Development Bank's annual meeting in March 2000,
declared that despite certain economic achievements,
democracy is being threatened as citizens grow weary of
the corruption and favoritism of their official
institutions and that efforts must be made to improve
governance if respect for democratic institutions is to
be regained.
(7) In May 1996 the Organization of American States
(OAS) adopted the Inter-American Convention Against
Corruption requiring countries to provide various forms
of international cooperation and assistance to
facilitate the prevention, investigation, and
prosecution of acts of corruption.
(8) Independent media, committed to fighting
corruption and trained in investigative journalism
techniques, can both educate the public on the costs of
corruption and act as a deterrent against corrupt
officials.
(9) Competent and independent judiciary, founded on a
merit-based selection process and trained to enforce
contracts and protect property rights, is critical for
creating a predictable and consistent environment for
transparency in legal procedures.
(10) Independent and accountable legislatures,
responsive political parties, and transparent electoral
processes, in conjunction with professional,
accountable, and transparent financial management and
procurement policies and procedures, are essential to
the promotion of good governance and to the combat of
corruption.
(11) Transparent business frameworks, including
modern commercial codes and intellectual property
rights, are vital to enhancing economic growth and
decreasing corruption at all levels of society.
(12) The United States should attempt to improve
accountability in foreign countries, including by--
(A) promoting transparency and accountability
through support for independent media,
promoting financial disclosure by public
officials, political parties, and candidates
for public office, open budgeting processes,
adequate and effective internal control
systems, suitable financial management systems,
and financial and compliance reporting;
(B) supporting the establishment of audit
offices, inspectors general offices, third
party monitoring of government procurement
processes, and anti-corruption agencies;
(C) promoting responsive, transparent, and
accountable legislatures that ensure
legislative oversight and whistle-blower
protection;
(D) promoting judicial reforms that
criminalize corruption and promoting law
enforcement that prosecutes corruption;
(E) fostering business practices that promote
transparent, ethical, and competitive behavior
in the private sector through the development
of an effective legal framework for commerce,
including anti-bribery laws, commercial codes
that incorporate international standards for
business practices, and protection of
intellectual property rights; and
(F) promoting free and fair national, state,
and local elections.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to ensure that
United States assistance programs promote good governance by
assisting other countries to combat corruption throughout
society and to improve transparency and accountability at all
levels of government and throughout the private sector.

people to participate directly in democratic decision-

ownership and control of business enterprises and
through the mobilization of local capital and savings
and such organizations should be fully utilized in
fostering free market principles and the adoption of
self-help approaches to development.

economic and social development by creating and
supporting--
(A) agricultural cooperatives that provide a

people out of poverty and to better integrate
them into national economies;

of limited means through safe savings and by
extending credit to families and
microenterprises;

provide rural customers with power and
telecommunications services essential to
economic development;
(D) housing and community-based cooperatives

(1) \23\ Declarations of policy.--The Congress

credit unions, particularly those programs committed

SEC. 103.\3\ FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 22 U.S.C. 6802.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) According to the Surgeon General of the United
States, the epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus/
acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) will
soon become the worst epidemic of infectious disease in
recorded history, eclipsing both the bubonic plague of
the 1300's and the influenza epidemic of 1918-1919
which killed more than 20,000,000 people worldwide.
(2) According to the Joint United Nations Programme
on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), more than 34,300,000 people in
the world today are living with HIV/AIDS, of which
approximately 95 percent live in the developing world.
(3) UNAIDS data shows that among children age 14 and
under worldwide, more than 3,800,000 have died from
AIDS, more than 1,300,000 are living with the disease;
and in 1 year alone--1999--an estimated 620,000 became
infected, of which over 90 percent were babies born to
HIV-positive women.
(4) Although sub-Saharan Africa has only 10 percent
of the world's population, it is home to more than
24,500,000--roughly 70 percent--of the world's HIV/AIDS
cases.
(5) Worldwide, there have already been an estimated
18,800,000 deaths because of HIV/AIDS, of which more
than 80 percent occurred in sub-Saharan Africa.
(6) The gap between rich and poor countries in terms
of transmission of HIV from mother to child has been
increasing. Moreover, AIDS threatens to reverse years
of steady progress of child survival in developing
countries. UNAIDS believes that by the year 2010, AIDS
may have increased mortality of children under 5 years
of age by more than 100 percent in regions most
affected by the virus.
(7) According to UNAIDS, by the end of 1999,
13,200,000 children have lost at least one parent to
AIDS, including 12,100,000 children in sub-Saharan
Africa, and are thus considered AIDS orphans.
(8) At current infection and growth rates for HIV/
AIDS, the National Intelligence Council estimates that
the number of AIDS orphans worldwide will increase
dramatically, potentially increasing threefold or more
in the next 10 years, contributing to economic decay,
social fragmentation, and political destabilization in
already volatile and strained societies. Children
without care or hope are often drawn into prostitution,
crime, substance abuse, or child soldiery.
(9) Donors must focus on adequate preparations for
the explosion in the number of orphans and the burden
they will place on families, communities, economies,
and governments. Support structures and incentives for
families, communities, and institutions which will
provide care for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS, or for
the children who are themselves afflicted by HIV/AIDS,
will be essential.
(10) The 1999 annual report by the United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF) states ``[t]he number of
orphans, particularly in Africa, constitutes nothing
less than an emergency, requiring an emergency
response'' and that ``finding the resources needed to
help stabilize the crisis and protect children is a
priority that requires urgent action from the
international community.''.
(11) The discovery of a relatively simple and
inexpensive means of interrupting the transmission of
HIV from an infected mother to the unborn child--namely
with nevirapine (NVP), which costs US$4 a tablet--has
created a great opportunity for an unprecedented
partnership between the United States Government and
the governments of Asian, African and Latin American
countries to reduce mother-to-child transmission (also
known as ``vertical transmission'') of HIV.
(12) According to UNAIDS, if implemented this
strategy will decrease the proportion of orphans that
are HIV-infected and decrease infant and child
mortality rates in these developing regions.
(13) A mother-to-child antiretroviral drug strategy
can be a force for social change, providing the
opportunity and impetus needed to address often long-
standing problems of inadequate services and the
profound stigma associated with HIV-infection and the
AIDS disease. Strengthening the health infrastructure
to improve mother-and-child health, antenatal, delivery
and postnatal services, and couples counseling
generates enormous spillover effects toward combating
the AIDS epidemic in developing regions.
(14) United States Census Bureau statistics show life
expectancy in sub-Saharan Africa falling to around 30
years of age within a decade, the lowest in a century,
and project life expectancy in 2010 to be 29 years of
age in Botswana, 30 years of age in Swaziland, 33 years
of age in Namibia and Zimbabwe, and 36 years of age in
South Africa, Malawi, and Rwanda, in contrast to a life
expectancy of 70 years of age in many of the countries
without a high prevalence of AIDS.
(15) A January 2000 United States National
Intelligence Estimate (NIE) report on the global
infectious disease threat concluded that the economic
costs of infectious diseases--especially HIV/AIDS--are
already significant and could reduce GDP by as much as
20 percent or more by 2010 in some sub-Saharan African
nations.
(16) According to the same NIE report, HIV prevalence
among militias in Angola and the Democratic Republic of
the Congo are estimated at 40 to 60 percent, and at 15
to 30 percent in Tanzania.
(17) The HIV/AIDS epidemic is of increasing concern
in other regions of the world, with UNAIDS estimating
that there are more than 5,600,000 cases in South and
South-east Asia, that the rate of HIV infection in the
Caribbean is second only to sub-Saharan Africa, and
that HIV infections have doubled in just 2 years in the
former Soviet Union.
(18) Despite the discouraging statistics on the
spread of HIV/AIDS, some developing nations--such as
Uganda, Senegal, and Thailand--have implemented
prevention programs that have substantially curbed the
rate of HIV infection.
(19) AIDS, like all diseases, knows no national
boundaries, and there is no certitude that the scale of
the problem in one continent can be contained within
that region.
(20) Accordingly, United States financial support for
medical research, education, and disease containment as
a global strategy has beneficial ramifications for
millions of Americans and their families who are
affected by this disease, and the entire population
which is potentially susceptible.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are to--
(1) help prevent human suffering through the
prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV/AIDS; and
(2) help ensure the viability of economic
development, stability, and national security in the
developing world by advancing research to--
(A) understand the causes associated with
HIV/AIDS in developing countries; and
(B) assist in the development of an AIDS
vaccine.

TITLE II--INTERNATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL
SEC. 201.\15\ SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``International Tuberculosis
Control Act of 2000''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ 22 U.S.C. 2151 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 202.\16\ FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ 22 U.S.C. 2151b note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Since the development of antibiotics in the
1950s, tuberculosis has been largely controlled in the
United States and the Western World.
(2) Due to societal factors, including growing urban
decay, inadequate health care systems, persistent
poverty, overcrowding, and malnutrition, as well as
medical factors, including the HIV/AIDS epidemic and
the emergence of multi-drug resistant strains of
tuberculosis, tuberculosis has again become a leading
and growing cause of adult deaths in the developing
world.
(3) According to the World Health Organization--
(A) in 1998, about 1,860,000 people worldwide
died of tuberculosis-related illnesses;
(B) one-third of the world's total population
is infected with tuberculosis; and
(C) tuberculosis is the world's leading
killer of women between 15 and 44 years old and
is a leading cause of children becoming
orphans.
(4) Because of the ease of transmission of
tuberculosis, its international persistence and
growth pose a direct public health threat to
those nations that had previously largely
controlled the disease. This is complicated in
the United States by the growth of the homeless
population, the rate of incarceration,
international travel, immigration, and HIV/
AIDS.
(5) With nearly 40 percent of the
tuberculosis cases in the United States
attributable to foreign-born persons,
tuberculosis will never be controlled in the
United States until it is controlled abroad.
(6) The means exist to control tuberculosis
through screening, diagnosis, treatment,
patient compliance, monitoring, and ongoing
review of outcomes.
(7) Efforts to control tuberculosis are
complicated by several barriers, including--
(A) the labor intensive and lengthy
process involved in screening,
detecting, and treating the disease;
(B) a lack of funding, trained
personnel, and medicine in virtually
every nation with a high rate of the
disease;
(C) the unique circumstances in each
country, which requires the development
and implementation of country-specific
programs; and
(D) the risk of having a bad
tuberculosis program, which is worse
than having no tuberculosis program
because it would significantly increase
the risk of the development of more
widespread drug-resistant strains of
the disease.
(8) Eliminating the barriers to the
international control of tuberculosis through a
well-structured, comprehensive, and coordinated
worldwide effort would be a significant step in
dealing with the increasing public health
problem posed by the disease.

(1) promotes access to HIV/AIDS pharmaceuticals or
medical technologies for affected populations in that
country; and
(2) provides adequate and effective intellectual
property protection consistent with the Agreement on
Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights
(TRIPS Agreement) referred to in section 101(d)(15) of
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C.
3511(d)(15)).
(b) The United States shall encourage all beneficiary sub-
Saharan African countries to implement policies designed to
address the underlying causes of the HIV/AIDS crisis by, among
other things, making efforts to encourage practices that will
prevent further transmission and infection and to stimulate
development of the infrastructure necessary to deliver adequate
health services, and by encouraging policies that provide an
incentive for public and private research on, and development
of, vaccines and other medical innovations that will combat the
HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa.
Sec. 2. Rationale. (a) This order finds that:
(1) since the onset of the worldwide HIV/AIDS
epidemic, approximately 34 million people living in
sub-Saharan Africa have been infected with the disease;
(2) of those infected, approximately 11.5 million
have died;
(3) the deaths represent 83 percent of the total HIV/
AIDS-related deaths worldwide; and
(4) access to effective therapeutics for HIV/AIDS is
determined by issues of price, health system
infrastructure for delivery, and sustainable financing.
(b) In light of these findings, this order recognizes that:
(1) it is in the interest of the United States to
take all reasonable steps to prevent further spread of
infectious disease, particularly HIV/AIDS;
(2) there is critical need for effective incentives
to develop new pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and therapies
to combat the HIV/AIDS crisis, including effective
global intellectual property standards designed to
foster pharmaceutical and medical innovation;
(3) the overriding priority for responding to the
crisis of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa should be to
improve public education and to encourage practices
that will prevent further transmission and infection,
and to stimulate development of the infrastructure
necessary to deliver adequate health care services;
(4) the United States should work with individual
countries in sub-Saharan Africa to assist them in
development of effective public education campaigns
aimed at the prevention of HIV/AIDS transmission and
infection, and to improve their health care
infrastructure to promote improved access to quality
health care for their citizens in general, and
particularly with respect to the HIV/AIDS epidemic;
(5) an effective United States response to the crisis
in sub-Saharan Africa must focus in the short term on
preventive programs designed to reduce the frequency of
new infections and remove the stigma of the disease,
and should place a priority on basic health services
that can be used to treat opportunistic infections,
sexually transmitted infections, and complications
associated with HIV/AIDS so as to prolong the duration
and improve the quality of life of those with the
disease;
(6) an effective United States response to the crisis
must also focus on the development of HIV/AIDS vaccines
to prevent the spread of the disease;
(7) the innovative capacity of the United States in
the commercial and public pharmaceutical research
sectors is unmatched in the world, and the
participation of both these sectors will be a critical
element in any successful program to respond to the
HIV/AIDS crisis in sub-Saharan Africa;
(8) the TRIPS Agreement recognizes the importance of
promoting effective and adequate protection of
intellectual property rights and the right of countries
to adopt measures necessary to protect public health;
(9) individual countries should have the ability to
take measures to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic,
provided that such measures are consistent with their
international obligations; and
(10) successful initiatives will require effective
partnerships and cooperation among governments,
international organizations, nongovernmental
organizations, and the private sector, and greater
consideration should be given to financial, legal, and
other incentives that will promote improved prevention
and treatment actions.
Sec. 3. Scope. (a) This order prohibits the United States
Government from taking action pursuant to section 301(b) of the
Trade Act of 1974 with respect to any law or policy in
beneficiary sub-Saharan African countries that promotes access
to HIV/AIDS pharmaceuticals or medical technologies and that
provides adequate and effective intellectual property
protection consistent with the TRIPS Agreement. However, this
order does not prohibit United States Government officials from
evaluating, determining, or expressing concern about whether
such a law or policy promotes access to HIV/AIDS
pharmaceuticals or medical technologies or provides adequate
and effective intellectual property protection consistent with
the TRIPS Agreement. In addition, this order does not prohibit
United States Government officials from consulting with or
otherwise discussing with sub-Saharan African governments
whether such law or policy meets the conditions set forth in
section 1(a) of this order. Moreover, this order does not
prohibit the United States Government from invoking the dispute
settlement procedures of the World Trade Organization to
examine whether any such law or policy is consistent with the
Uruguay Round Agreements, referred to in section 101(d) of the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act.
(b) This order is intended only to improve the internal
management of the executive branch and is not intended to, and
does not create, any right or benefit, substantive or
procedural, enforceable at law or equity by a party against the
United States, its agencies or instrumentalities, its officers
or employees, or any other person.

of 1998''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 22 U.S.C. 2152 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 2.\1\ FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The American people abhor torture by any
government or person. The existence of torture creates
a climate of fear and international insecurity that
affects all people.
(2) Torture is the deliberate mental and physical
damage caused by governments to individuals to destroy
individual personality and terrorize society. The
effects of torture are long term. Those effects can
last a lifetime for the survivors and affect future
generations.
(3) By eliminating the leadership of their opposition
and frightening the general public, repressive
governments often use torture as a weapon against
democracy.
(4) Torture survivors remain under physical and
psychological threats, especially in communities where
the perpetrators are not brought to justice. In many
nations, even those who treat torture survivors are
threatened with reprisals, including torture, for
carrying out their ethical duty to provide care. Both
the survivors of torture and their treatment providers
should be accorded protection from further repression.
(5) A significant number of refugees and asylees
entering the United States have been victims of
torture. Those claiming asylum deserve prompt
consideration of their applications for political
asylum to minimize their insecurity and sense of
danger. Many torture survivors now live in the United
States. They should be provided with the rehabilitation
services which would enable them to become productive
members of our communities.
(6) The development of a treatment movement for
torture survivors has created new opportunities for
action by the United States and other nations to oppose
state-sponsored and other acts of torture.
(7) There is a need for a comprehensive strategy to
protect and support torture victims and their treatment
providers, together with overall efforts to eliminate
torture.
(8) By acting to heal the survivors of torture and
protect their families, the United States can help to
heal the effects of torture and prevent its use around
the world.
SEC. 3.\1\ DEFINITION.
As used in this Act, the term ``torture'' has the meaning
given the term in section 2340(1) of title 18, United States
Code, and includes the use of rape and other forms of sexual
violence by a person acting under the color of law upon another
person under his custody or physical control.

quantity cannot be effectively used for the purposes of such
programs or, based on a certification by the Secretary of
Agriculture, that the commodities are not available for reasons
which include the unavailability of funds.
(b) The base period utilized for computing the minimum
tonnage quantity referred to in subsection (a) for any fiscal
year shall be the five fiscal years beginning with the sixth

and ocean freight differential for which obligations are
incurred by the Department of Agriculture and the Commodity
Credit Corporation on exports of agricultural commodities and
products thereof under the agricultural export programs
specified in section 901b(b) exceeds 20 percent of the value of
such commodities and products and the cost of such ocean
freight and ocean freight differential on which obligations are
incurred by such Department and Corporation during such year,
the Secretary of Transportation shall reimburse the Department
of Agriculture and the Commodity Credit Corporation for the
amount of such excess. For the purpose of this subsection,
commodities shipped from the inventory of the Commodity Credit
Corporation shall be valued as provided in section 403(b) of
the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954
(7 U.S.C. 1733(b)).
(c) For the purpose of meeting those expenses required to
be assumed under subsections (a) and (b), the Secretary of
Transportation shall issue to the Secretary of the Treasury
such obligations in such forms and denominations, bearing such
maturities and subject to such terms and conditions, as may be
prescribed by the Secretary of Transportation with the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury. Such obligations shall be at
a rate of interest as determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury, taking into consideration the average market yield on
outstanding marketable obligations of the United States with
remaining periods of maturity comparable to the average
maturities of such obligations during the month preceding the
issuance of such obligations of the Secretary of
Transportation. The Secretary of the Treasury shall purchase
any obligations of the Secretary of Transportation issued under
this subsection and, for the purpose of purchasing such
obligations, the Secretary of the Treasury may use as a public
debt transaction the proceeds from the sale of any securities
issued under chapter 31 of title 31, United States Code, after
the date of the enactment of this Act and the purposes for
which securities may be issued under such chapter are extended
to include any purchases of the obligations of the Secretary of
Transportation under this subsection. All redemptions and
purchases by the Secretary of the Treasury of the obligations
of the Secretary of Transportation shall be treated as public-
debt transactions of the United States.
(d) There is authorized to be appropriated annually for
each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year beginning
October 1, 1986, an amount sufficient to reimburse the
Secretary of Transportation for the costs, including
administrative expenses and the principal and interest due on
the obligations to the Secretary of the Treasury incurred under
this section. Reimbursement of any such costs shall be made
with appropriated funds, as provided in this section, rather
than through cancellation of notes.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, in the
event that the Secretary of Transportation is unable to obtain
the funds necessary to finance the increased ocean freight
charges resulting from the requirements of subsections (a) and
(b) and section 901b(a), the Secretary of Transportation shall
so notify the Congress within 10 working days of the discovery
of such insufficiency.

period the Secretary of Transportation proclaims that funds are
available to finance increased freight charges resulting from
the requirements of sections 901b (a) and 901d (a) and (b). In
the event of termination under this section, nothing in
sections 901a through 901d shall be construed as exempting
export activities from or subjecting export activities to the
cargo preference laws except to the extent those activities are
exempt under section 4(b) of Public Law 95-501 (7 U.S.C.
1707a(b)). In the event of termination under this section, the
50 percent requirement in section 901(b) of the Merchant Marine

g. Foreign Disaster Assistance
Executive Order 12966, July 14, 1995, 60 F.R. 36949, 10 U.S.C. 404 note
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United states of America,
including the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 1995, Public Law 103-337 (the ``Act'') and section 301 of
title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. This order governs the implementation of section
404 of title 10, United States Code, as added by amendment set

404(a), the Secretary of Defense is hereby directed to provide

Sec. 2. The Secretary of Defense shall provide disaster

h. Global Disaster Information Network
Executive Order 13151, April 27, 2000, 65 F.R. 25619, 42 U.S.C. 5195
note
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and
in order to establish a Global Disaster Information Network to
use information technology more effectively to reduce loss of
life and property from natural and man-made disasters, it is
hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. (a) It is the policy of this
Administration to use information technology more effectively
to coordinate the Federal Government's collection and
dissemination of information to appropriate response agencies
and State governments to prepare for and respond to natural and
man-made disasters (disasters). As a result of changing
population demographics in our coastal, rural, and urban areas
over the past decades, the loss of life and property (losses)
from disasters has nearly doubled. One of the ways the Federal
Government can reduce these losses is to use technology more
effectively to coordinate its collection and dissemination
(hereafter referred to collectively as ``provision'') of
information which can be used in both planning for and
recovering from disasters. While many agencies provide
disaster-related information, they may not always provide it in
a coordinated manner. To improve the provision of disaster-
related information, the agencies shall, as set out in this
order, use information technology to coordinate the Federal
Government's provision of information to prepare for, respond
to, and recover from domestic disasters.
(b) It is also the policy of this Administration to use
information technology and existing channels of disaster
assistance to improve the Federal Government's provision of
information that could be helpful to foreign governments
preparing for or responding to foreign disasters. Currently,
the United States Government provides disaster-related
information to foreign governments and relief organizations on
humanitarian grounds at the request of foreign governments and
where appropriate. This information is supplied by Federal
agencies on an ad hoc basis. To increase the effectiveness of
our response to foreign disasters, agencies shall, where
appropriate, use information technology to coordinate the
Federal Government's provision of disaster-related information
to foreign governments.
(c) To carry out the policies in this order, there is
established the Global Disaster Information Network (Network).
The Network is defined as the coordinated effort by Federal
agencies to develop a strategy and to use existing technical
infrastructure, to the extent permitted by law and subject to
the availability of appropriations and under the guidance of
the Interagency Coordinating Committee and the Committee
Support Office, to make more effective use of information
technology to assist our Government, and foreign governments
where appropriate, by providing disaster-related information to
prepare for and respond to disasters.
Sec. 2. Establishment. (a) There is established an
Interagency Coordinating Committee (Committee) to provide
leadership and oversight for the development of the Network.
The Office of the Vice President, the Department of Commerce
through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
and the Department of State, respectively, shall designate a
representative to serve as Co-chairpersons of the Committee.
The Committee membership shall comprise representatives from
the following departments and agencies:
(1) Department of State;
(2) Department of Defense;
(3) Department of the Interior;
(4) Department of Agriculture;
(5) Department of Commerce;
(6) Department of Transportation;
(7) Department of Energy;
(8) Office of Management and Budget;
(9) Environmental Protection Agency;
(10) National Aeronautics and Space Administration;
(11) United States Agency for International
Development;
(12) Federal Emergency Management Agency; and
(13) Central Intelligence Agency.
At the discretion of the Co-chairpersons of the Committee,
other agencies may be added to the Committee membership. The
Committee shall include an Executive Secretary to effect
coordination between the Co-chairpersons of the Committee and
the Committee Support Office.
(b) There is established a Committee Support Office
(Support Office) to assist the Committee by developing plans
and projects that would further the creation of the Network.
The Support Office shall, at the request of the Co-chairpersons
of the Committee, carry out tasks taken on by the Committee.
(c) The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
shall provide funding and administrative support for the
Committee and the Support Office. To the extent permitted by
law, agencies may provide support to the Committee and the
Support Office to assist them in their work.
Sec. 3. Responsibilities. (a) The Committee shall:
(1) serve as the United States Government's single
entity for all matters, both national and
international, pertaining to the development and
establishment of the Network;
(2) provide leadership and high-level coordination of
Network activities;
(3) provide guidance for the development of Network
strategies, goals, objectives, policies, and
legislation;
(4) represent and advocate Network goals, objectives,
and processes to their respective agencies and
departments;
(5) provide manpower and material support for Network
development activities;
(6) develop, delegate, and monitor interagency
opportunities and ideas supporting the development of
the Network; and
(7) provide reports, through the Co-chairpersons of
the Committee, to the President as requested or at
least annually.
(b) The Support Office shall:
(1) provide management and administrative support for
the Committee;
(2) develop Network strategies, goals, objectives,
policies, plans, and legislation in accordance with
guidance provided by the Committee;
(3) consult with agencies, States, nongovernment
organizations, and international counterparts in
developing Network development tasks;
(4) develop and make recommendations concerning
Network activities to the agencies as approved by the
Committee; and
(5) participate in projects that promote the goals
and objectives of the Network.
Sec. 4. Implementation. (a) The Committee, with the
assistance of the Support Office, shall address national and
international issues associated with the development of the
Network within the context of:
(1) promoting the United States as an example and
leader in the development and dissemination of disaster
information, both domestically and abroad, and, to this
end, seeking cooperation with foreign governments and
international organizations;
(2) striving to include all appropriate stakeholders
in the development of the Network; and
(3) facilitating the creation of a framework that
involves public and private stakeholders in a
partnership for sustained operations of the Network.
(b) Intelligence activities, as determined by the Director
of the Central Intelligence Agency, as well as national
security-related activities of the Department of Defense and of
the Department of Energy, are exempt from compliance with this
order.
Sec. 5. Tribal Governments. This order does not impose any
requirements on tribal governments.
Sec. 6. Judicial Review. This order does not create any
right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by
law, by a party against the United States, its officers, its
employees, or any other person.

CHAPTER 145--CATALOGING AND STANDARDIZATION
* * * * * * *
Sec. 2457.\252\ Standardization of equipment with North Atlantic Treaty
Organization members
(a) It is the policy of the United States to standardize
equipment, including weapons systems, ammunition, and fuel,
procured for the use of the armed forces of the United States
stationed in Europe under the North Atlantic Treaty or at least
to make that equipment interoperable with equipment of other
members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. To carry out
this policy, the Secretary of Defense shall--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\252\ Public Law 97-295 consolidated a number of provisions enacted
in previous years concerning NATO standardization issues, made
technical and conforming amendments, and codified the new language at
10 U.S.C. 2457. Portions of this text originated in the following acts:
sec. 302(c) of the DOD Authorization Act, 1975 (Public Law 93-365; 88
Stat. 399); sec. 814 of the DOD Authorization Act, 1976 (Public Law 94-
106; 89 Stat. 531); sec. 803 of the DOD Authorization Act, 1977 (Public
Law 94-361; 90 Stat. 923); and sec. 1121 of the DOD Authorization Act,
1983 (Public Law 97-252; 96 Stat. 754). Public Law 97-295 repealed the
above mentioned provisions relating to NATO standardization.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) assess the costs and possible loss of nonnuclear
combat effectiveness of the military forces of the
members of the Organization caused by the failure of
the members to standardize equipment;
(2) maintain a list of actions to be taken, including
an evaluation of the priority and effect of the action,
to standardize equipment that may improve the overall
nonnuclear defense capability of the Organization or
save resources for the Organization; and
(3) initiate and carry out, to the maximum extent
feasible, procurement procedures to acquire
standardized or interoperable equipment, considering
the cost, function, quality, and availability of the
equipment.
(b) Progress in realizing the objectives of standardization
and interoperability would be enhanced by expanded inter-Allied
procurement of arms and equipment within the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. Expanded inter-Allied procurement would be
made easier by greater reliance on licensing and coproduction
cooperative agreements among the signatories of the North
Atlantic Treaty. If constructed to preserve the efficiencies
associated with economies of scale, the agreements could
minimize potential economic hardship to parties to the
agreements and increase the survivability, in time of war, of
the North Atlantic Alliance's armaments production base by
dispersing manufacturing facilities. In conjunction with other
members of the Organization and to the maximum extent feasible,
the Secretary shall--
(1) identify areas in which those cooperative
agreements may be made with members of the Alliance;
and
(2) negotiate those agreements.
(c)(1) It is the sense of Congress that weapons systems
being developed wholly or primarily for employment in the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization theater should conform to a common
Organization requirement in order to proceed toward joint
doctrine and planning and to facilitate maximum feasible
standardization and interoperability of equipment, and that a
common Organization requirement should be understood to include
a common definition of the military threat to the members of
the Organization.
(2) It is further the sense of Congress that
standardization of weapons and equipment within the

a memorandum of understanding, or other agreement entered into
by the United States with a foreign country, to transfer
defense technology to a foreign country, the United States firm
may protest the determination to the Secretary of Defense on
the grounds that the transfer of such technology would
adversely affect the defense industrial base of the United
States and would result in substantial financial loss to the
protesting firm. The Secretary of Defense, in consultation with

SEC. 1023. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING DRUG TRAFFICKING DETERRENCE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) According to the Department of State, drug
trafficking organizations shipped approximately nine
tons of cocaine to the United States through the
Dominican Republic in 2004, and are increasingly using
small, high-speed watercraft.
(2) Drug traffickers use the Caribbean corridor to
smuggle narcotics to the United States via Puerto Rico
and the Dominican Republic. This route is ideal for
drug trafficking because of its geographic expanse,
numerous law enforcement jurisdictions, and fragmented
investigative efforts.
(3) The tethered aerostat system in Lajas, Puerto
Rico, contributes to deterring and detecting smugglers
moving illicit drugs into Puerto Rico. The aerostat's
range and operational capabilities allow it to provide
surveillance coverage of the eastern Caribbean corridor
and the strategic waterway between Puerto Rico and the
Dominican Republic, known as the Mona Passage.
(4) Including maritime radar on the Lajas aerostat
will expand its ability to detect suspicious vessels in
the eastern Caribbean corridor.
(b) Sense of Congress.--Given the findings contained in
subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Congress and the Department of Defense should
fund the Counter-Drug Tethered Aerostat program; and
(2) the Department of Defense should install maritime
radar on the Lajas, Puerto Rico, aerostat.

with regard to missile defense is in the interest of
the United States;
(2) there does not exist strong enough engagement
between the United States and Russia with respect to
missile defense cooperation;
(3) the United States should explore innovative and
nontraditional means of cooperation with Russia on
issues pertaining to missile defense; and
(4) as part of such an effort, the Secretary of
Defense should consider the possibilities for United
States-Russian cooperation with respect to missile
defense through--
(A) the testing of specific elements of the
detection and tracking equipment of the Missile
Defense Agency of the United States Department
of Defense through the use of Russian target
missiles;

that, in order to succeed in Iraq--
(1) members of the United States Armed Forces who are
serving or have served in Iraq and their families
deserve the utmost respect and the heartfelt gratitude
of the American people for their unwavering devotion to
duty, service to the Nation, and selfless sacrifice
under the most difficult circumstances; the United
States Congress supports our troops and supports a
successful conclusion to their mission;
(2) it is important to recognize that the Iraqi
people have made enormous sacrifices and that the
overwhelming majority of Iraqis want to live in peace
and security; and that the Iraqi security forces in a
growing number of incidences are fighting side-by-side
with coalition forces, are increasing in numbers and
improving in military capability;
(3) the terrorists seeking to prevent the emergence
of a secure, stable, peaceful, and democratic Iraq are
led by individuals seeking to restore dictatorship in
Iraq or who want to advance al Qaeda's broad vision of
violently extreme Islam in the Middle East;
(4) calendar year 2006 should be a period of
significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty, with
Iraqi security forces taking the lead for the security
of a free and sovereign Iraq, thereby creating the
conditions for the phased redeployment of United States
forces from Iraq;
(5) United States military forces should not stay in
Iraq any longer than required and the professional
military judgment of our senior military should be a
key factor in future decisions;
(6) the Administration should tell the leaders of all
groups and political parties in Iraq that they need to
make the compromises necessary to achieve the broad-
based and sustainable political settlement that is
essential for defeating the insurgency in Iraq, within
the schedule they set for themselves; and
(7) the President has committed to continue to
explain to Congress and the American people progress
toward a successful completion of the mission in Iraq.
(c) Reports to Congress on United States Policy and
Military Operations in Iraq.--Not later than 90 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, and every three months

necessary to achieve the broad-based and sustainable
political settlement that is essential for defeating
the insurgency in Iraq.
(3) Any specific conditions included in the April
2005 Multi-National Forces-Iraq campaign action plan
(referred to in United States Government Accountability
Office October 2005 report on Rebuilding Iraq: DOD
Reports Should Link Economic, Governance, and Security
Indicators to Conditions for Stabilizing Iraq), and any
subsequent updates to that campaign plan, that must be
met in order to provide for the transition of
additional security responsibility to Iraqi security
forces.
(4) To the extent that these conditions are not
covered under paragraph (3), the following should also
be addressed:
(A) The number of battalions of the Iraqi
Armed Forces that must be able to operate
independently or to take the lead in
counterinsurgency operations and the defense of

SEC. 1234. THE UNITED STATES-CHINA ECONOMIC SECURITY REVIEW COMMISSION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The 2004 Report to Congress of the United States-
China Economic and Security Review Commission states
that--
(A) China's State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs)
lack adequate disclosure standards, which
creates the potential for United States
investors to unwittingly contribute to
enterprises that are involved in activities
harmful to United States security interests;
(B) United States influence and vital long-
term interests in Asia are being challenged by
China's robust regional economic engagement and
diplomacy;
(C) the assistance of China and North Korea
to global ballistic missile proliferation is
extensive and ongoing;
(D) China's transfers of technology and
components for weapons of mass destruction
(WMD) and their delivery systems to countries
of concern, including countries that support
acts of international terrorism, have helped
create a new tier of countries with the
capability to produce WMD and ballistic
missiles;
(E) the removal of the European Union arms
embargo against China that is currently under
consideration in the European Union would
accelerate weapons modernization and
dramatically enhance Chinese military
capabilities;
(F) China is developing a leading-edge
military with the objective of intimidating
Taiwan and deterring United States involvement
in the Taiwan Strait, and China's qualitative
and quantitative military advancements have
already resulted in a dramatic shift in the
cross-Strait military balance toward China; and
(G) China's growing energy needs are driving
China into bilateral arrangements that
undermine multilateral efforts to stabilize oil
supplies and prices, and in some cases may
involve dangerous weapons transfers.
(2) On March 14, 2005, the National People's Congress
approved a law that would authorize the use of force if
Taiwan formally declares independence.
(b) Sense of Congress for Comprehensive Strategy.--It is
the sense of Congress that the President should present to
Congress quickly a comprehensive strategy to--
(1) address the emergence of China economically,
diplomatically, and militarily;
(2) promote mutually beneficial trade relations with
China; and
(3) encourage China's adherence to international
norms in the areas of trade, international security,
and human rights.
(c) Contents of Strategy.--The strategy referred to in
subsection (b) should address the following:
(1) Actions to address China's policy of undervaluing
its currency, including--
(A) encouraging China to continue to upwardly
revalue the Chinese yuan against the United
States dollar;
(B) allowing the yuan to float against a
trade-weighted basket of currencies; and
(C) concurrently encouraging United States
trading partners with similar interests to join
in these efforts.
(2) Actions to make better use of the World Trade
Organization (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism and
applicable United States trade laws to redress China's
trade practices, including--
(A) exchange rate manipulation;
(B) denial of trading and distribution
rights;
(C) insufficient intellectual property rights
protection;
(D) objectionable labor standards;
(E) subsidization of exports; and
(F) forced technology transfers as a
condition of doing business.
(3) The United States Trade Representative should
consult with United States trading partners regarding
any trade dispute with China.
(4) Actions to encourage United States diplomatic
efforts to identify and pursue initiatives to
revitalize United States engagement in East Asia. The
initiatives should have a regional focus and complement
bilateral efforts. The Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation forum (APEC) offers a ready mechanism for
pursuit of such initiatives.
(5) Actions by the administration to work with China
to prevent proliferation of prohibited technologies and
to secure China's agreement to renew efforts to curtail
commercial export by North Korea of ballistic missiles.
(6) Actions by the Secretary of State and the
Secretary of Energy to consult with the International
Atomic Energy Agency with the objective of upgrading
the current loose experience-sharing arrangement
whereby China engages in some limited exchanges with
the organization to a more structured arrangement.
(7) Actions by the administration to develop a
coordinated, comprehensive national policy and strategy
designed to maintain United States scientific and
technological leadership and competitiveness, in light
of the rise of China and the challenges of
globalization.
(8) Actions to review laws and regulations governing
the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United
States (CFIUS), including exploring whether the
definition of national security should include the
potential impact on national economic security as a
criterion to be reviewed, and whether the chairmanship
of CFIUS should be transferred from the Secretary of
the Treasury to a more appropriate executive branch
agency.
(9) Actions by the President and the Secretary of
State and Secretary of Defense to press strongly their
counterparts in the European Union and its member
states to maintain and strengthen the embargo on
selling arms to China.
(10) Actions by the administration to discourage
foreign defense contractors from selling sensitive
military-use technology or weapons systems to China.

findings:
(1) The Department of Defense Appropriations Act,
2004 (Public Law 108-87), the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 108-287), and the
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense,
the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005
(Public Law 109-13) each contain a sense of the Senate
provision urging the President to provide in the annual
budget requests of the President for a fiscal year
under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code,
an estimate of the cost of ongoing military operations
in Iraq and Afghanistan in such fiscal year.
(2) The budget for fiscal year 2006 submitted to
Congress by the President on February 7, 2005, requests
no funds for fiscal year 2006 for ongoing military
operations in Iraq or Afghanistan.
(3) According to the Congressional Research Service,
there exists historical precedent for including the
cost of ongoing military operations in the annual
budget requests of the President following initial
funding for such operations by emergency or
supplemental appropriations Acts, including--
(A) funds for Operation Noble Eagle,
beginning in the budget request of President
George W. Bush for fiscal year 2005;
(B) funds for operations in Kosovo, beginning
in the budget request of President George W.
Bush for fiscal year 2001;
(C) funds for operations in Bosnia, beginning
in the budget request of President Clinton for
fiscal year 1997;
(D) funds for operations in Southwest Asia,
beginning in the budget request of President
Clinton for fiscal year 1997;
(E) funds for operations in Vietnam,
beginning in the budget request of President
Johnson for fiscal year 1966; and
(F) funds for World War II, beginning in the
budget request of President Roosevelt for
fiscal year 1943.
(4) In section 1024(b) of the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on
Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005 (119 Stat. 252), the
Senate requested that the President submit to Congress,
not later than September 1, 2005, an amendment to the
budget of the President for fiscal year 2006 setting
forth detailed cost estimates for ongoing military
operations overseas during such fiscal year.
(5) The President has yet to submit such an
amendment.
(6) In February 2005, the Congressional Budget Office
estimated that fiscal year 2006 cost of ongoing
military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan could total
$85,000,000,000.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that--
(1) any request for funds for a fiscal year after
fiscal year 2006 for an ongoing military operation
overseas, including operations in Afghanistan and Iraq,
should be included in the annual budget of the
President for such fiscal year as submitted to Congress
under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code;
(2) the President should submit a budget request for
fiscal year 2006 setting forth estimates for ongoing
military operations overseas during such fiscal year;
and
(3) any funds provided for a fiscal year for ongoing
military operations overseas should be provided in
appropriations Acts for such fiscal year through
appropriations to specific accounts set forth in such
appropriations Acts.

requests for future funding for military operations in afghanistan and
iraq
Sec. 1024. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following
findings:
(1) The Department of Defense Appropriations Act,
2004 (Public Law 108-87) and the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 108-287) each
contain a sense of the Senate provision urging the
President to provide in the annual budget requests of
the President for a fiscal year under section 1105(a)
of title 31, United States Code, an estimate of the
cost of ongoing military operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan in such fiscal year.
(2) The budget for fiscal year 2006 submitted to
Congress by the President on February 7, 2005, requests
no funds for fiscal year 2006 for ongoing military
operations in Iraq or Afghanistan.
(3) According to the Congressional Research Service,
there exists historical precedent for including the
cost of ongoing military operations in the annual
budget requests of the President following initial
funding for such operations by emergency or
supplemental appropriations Acts, including--
(A) funds for Operation Noble Eagle,
beginning in the budget request of President
George W. Bush for fiscal year 2005;
(B) funds for operations in Kosovo, beginning
in the budget request of President George W.
Bush for fiscal year 2001;
(C) funds for operations in Bosnia, beginning
in budget request of President Clinton for
fiscal year 1997;
(D) funds for operations in Southwest Asia,
beginning in the budget request of President
Clinton for fiscal year 1997;
(E) funds for operations in Vietnam,
beginning in the budget request of President
Johnson for fiscal year 1966; and
(F) funds for World War II, beginning in the
budget request of President Roosevelt for
fiscal year 1943.
(4) The Senate has included in its version of the
fiscal year 2006 budget resolution, which was adopted
by the Senate on March 17, 2005, a reserve fund of
$50,000,000,000 for overseas contingency operations,
but the determination of that amount could not take
into account any Administration estimate on the
projected cost of such operations in fiscal year 2006.
(5) In February 2005, the Congressional Budget Office
estimated that fiscal year 2006 costs for ongoing
military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan could total
$65,000,000,000.
(b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) any request for funds for a fiscal year after
fiscal year 2006 for an ongoing military operation
overseas, including operations in Afghanistan and Iraq,
should be included in the annual budget of the
President for such fiscal year as submitted to Congress
under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code;
(2) the President should submit to Congress, not
later than September 1, 2005, an amendment to the
budget of the President for fiscal year 2006 that was
submitted to Congress under section 1105(a) of title
31, United States Code, setting forth detailed cost
estimates for ongoing military operations overseas
during such fiscal year; and
(3) any funds provided for a fiscal year for ongoing
military operations overseas should be provided in
appropriations Acts for such fiscal year through
appropriations to specific accounts set forth in such
appropriations Acts.
(c) \2\ Additional Requirements for Certain Reports.--(1)
Each semiannual report to Congress required under a provision
of law referred to in paragraph (2) shall include, in addition
to the matters specified in the applicable provision of law,

for ongoing military operations to be incurred during
the 12-month period beginning on the date of such
report.

Appropriations Act for Defense and for the
Reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan, 2004 (Public
Law 108-106; 117 Stat. 1219; 10 U.S.C. 113 note).

Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 108-287; 118 Stat.

prohibition on torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment
Sec. 1031. (a)(1) None of the funds appropriated or
otherwise made available by this Act shall be obligated or

AND THE NATO RESPONSE FORCE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ 22 U.S.C. 1928 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) At the meeting of the North Atlantic Council held
in Prague in November 2002, the heads of states and
governments of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) launched a Prague Capabilities Commitment and
decided to create a NATO Response Force.
(2) The Prague Capabilities Commitment is part of the
continuing NATO effort to improve and develop new
military capabilities for modern warfare in a high-
threat environment. As part of this commitment,
individual NATO allies have made firm and specific
political commitments to improve their capabilities in
the areas of--
(A) chemical, biological, radiological, and
nuclear defense;
(B) intelligence, surveillance, and target
acquisition;
(C) air-to-ground surveillance;
(D) command, control, and communications;
(E) combat effectiveness, including precision
guided munitions and suppression of enemy air
defenses;
(F) strategic air and sea lift;
(G) air-to-air refueling; and
(H) deployable combat support and combat
service support units.
(3) The NATO Response Force is envisioned to be a
technologically advanced, flexible, deployable,
interoperable, and sustainable force that includes
land, sea, and air elements ready to move quickly to
wherever needed, as determined by the North Atlantic
Council. The NATO Response Force is also intended to be
a catalyst for focusing and promoting improvements in
NATO's military capabilities. It is expected to have
initial operational capability by October 2004, and
full operational capability by October 2006.
(b) Annual Report.--(1) Not later than January 31 of each
year through 2008, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the
congressional committees specified in paragraph (5) a report,
to be prepared in consultation with the Secretary of State, on
implementation of the Prague Capabilities Commitment and
development of the NATO Response Force by the member nations of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
(2) The annual report under this subsection shall include
the following matters:
(A) A description of the actions taken by NATO as a
whole and by each member nation of NATO other than the
United States to further the Prague Capabilities
Commitment, including any actions taken to improve
capability shortfalls in the areas identified for
improvement.
(B) A description of the actions taken by NATO as a
whole and by each member nation of NATO, including the
United States, to create the NATO Response Force.
(C) A discussion of the relationship between NATO's
efforts to improve capabilities through the Prague
Capabilities Commitment and those of the European Union
to enhance European capabilities through the European
Capabilities Action Plan, including the extent to which
they are mutually reinforcing.
(D) A discussion of NATO decisionmaking on the
implementation of the Prague Capabilities Commitment
and the development of the NATO Response Force,
including--
(i) an assessment of whether the Prague
Capabilities Commitment and the NATO Response
Force are the sole jurisdiction of the Defense
Planning Committee, the North Atlantic Council,
or the Military Committee;
(ii) a description of the circumstances which
led to the defense, military, security, and
nuclear decisions of NATO on matters such as
the Prague Capabilities Commitment and the NATO

integrated military structure of NATO
contributes to each of the component committees
of NATO, including any and all committees
relevant to the Prague Capabilities Commitment
and the NATO Response Force;
(iv) a description of the extent to which any
member that does not participate in the
integrated military structure of NATO
participates in deliberations and decisions of
NATO on resource policy, contribution ceilings,
infrastructure, force structure, modernization,
threat assessments, training, exercises,
deployments, and other issues related to the
Prague Capabilities Commitment or the NATO
Response Force;
(v) a description and assessment of the
impediments, if any, that would preclude or
limit NATO from conducting deliberations and
making decisions on matters such as the Prague
Capabilities Commitment or the NATO Response
Force solely in the Defense Planning Committee;
and
(vi) the recommendations of the Secretary of
Defense on streamlining defense, military, and
security decisionmaking within NATO relating to
the Prague Capabilities Commitment, the NATO
Response Force, and other matters, including an
assessment of the feasibility and advisability
of the greater utilization of the Defense
Planning Committee for such purposes.

SEC. 1232. REPORT ON ACTIONS THAT COULD BE TAKEN REGARDING COUNTRIES
THAT INITIATE CERTAIN LEGAL ACTIONS AGAINST UNITED
STATES OFFICIALS OR MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES.
(a) Finding.--Congress finds that actions for or on behalf
of a foreign government that constitute attempts to commence
legal proceedings against, or attempts to compel the appearance
of or production of documents from, any current or former
official or employee of the United States or member of the
Armed Forces of the United States relating to the performance
of official duties, other than pursuant to a status of forces
agreement or other international agreement to which the United
States is a party, may have a negative effect on the ability of
the United States to take necessary and timely military action.
(b) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to
Congress a report on appropriate steps that could be taken by
the Department of Defense (such as restrictions on military
travel, limitations on military support and exchange programs,
and consideration of relocating, or limiting funding for,
United States or allied military commands, headquarters, or
organizations) to respond to an action by a foreign government
described in subsection (a).
SEC. 1233. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON REDEPLOYMENT OF UNITED STATES FORCES IN
EUROPE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In March 1999, in its initial round of expansion,
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) admitted
Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary to the
Alliance.
(2) At the Prague Summit on November 21-22, 2002, the
NATO heads of state and government invited the
countries of Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania,
Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia to join the Alliance.
(3) The countries admitted in the initial round of
expansion referred to in paragraph (1) and the seven
new invitee nations referred to in paragraph (2) will
in combination significantly alter the nature of the
Alliance.
(4) During the first 50 years of the Alliance, NATO
materially contributed to the security and stability of
Western Europe, bringing peace and prosperity to the
member nations.
(5) The expansion of NATO is an opportunity to assist
the invitee nations in gaining the capabilities to
ensure peace, prosperity, and democracy for themselves
during the next 50 years of the Alliance.
(6) The military structure and mission of NATO has
changed, no longer being focused on the threat of a
Soviet invasion, but evolving to handle new threats and
new missions in the area of crisis management,
peacekeeping, and peace-support in and beyond the Euro-
Atlantic area of operations.
(b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings in
subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization Alliance and the evolution of the military
mission of that Alliance requires a fundamental
reevaluation of the current posture of United States
forces stationed in Europe; and
(2) the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with
the Secretary of State, should--
(A) initiate a reevaluation referred to in
paragraph (1); and
(B) in carrying out such a reevaluation,
consider a military posture that takes maximum
advantage of basing and training opportunities
in the newly admitted and invitee states
referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2),
respectively, of subsection (a).
SEC. 1234. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING NAVY PORT CALLS IN ISRAEL.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States has invested significant
amounts of funds in expanding the capacity and security
of the port of Haifa, Israel, and the United States
Navy should be able to implement the necessary force
protection measures that would enable it to take
advantage of the repair, replenishment, and
communications links available at that port;
(2) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the
Navy should conclude discussions with the Government of
Israel and the Israel Defense Forces to establish
appropriate and effective arrangements to ensure the
safety of United States Navy vessels and personnel
during port visits to Haifa, Israel; and
(3) upon such arrangements being made, the United
States Navy should consider resumption of regular port
visits to Haifa, Israel.

``sec. 3140. report on schedule for resumption of nuclear testing talks and
test ban readiness program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
United States and the Soviet Union share a special responsibility to
resume the Nuclear Testing Talks to continue negotiations toward
additional limitations on nuclear weapons testing.
``(b) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to Congress a report
containing a proposed schedule for resumption of the Nuclear Testing
Talks and identifying the goals to be pursued in those talks.
``(c) Nuclear Test Ban Readiness Program.--Of the funds
appropriated to the Department of Energy for fiscal year 1992 for
weapons activities, $20,000,000 shall be available to conduct the
nuclear test ban readiness program established pursuant to section 1436
of the National Defense Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 1989 (Public Law
100-456; 42 U.S.C. 2121 note).''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On September 17, 1987, the United States and the
Soviet Union announced that they would resume full-
scale, stage-by-stage negotiations on issues relating
to nuclear testing, including further intermediate
limitations on nuclear testing leading to the ultimate
objective of a comprehensive nuclear test ban.
(2) It was agreed that the first step in these
negotiations would be to reach agreement on
verification measures that will make possible the
ratification of the Threshold Test Ban Treaty of 1974
and the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty of 1976.
(3) To achieve the agreement on verification
measures, the United States and the Soviet Union have
agree to design and conduct a Joint Verification
Experiment at the test sites of each country during the
summer of 1988.
(4) At the Moscow summit in May 1988, President
Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev reaffirmed their
commitment to negotiations on ``effective verification
measures which will make it possible to ratify the
Threshold Test Ban Treaty of 1974 and Peaceful Nuclear
Explosions Treaty of 1976, and proceed to negotiating
further intermediate limitations on nuclear testing
leading to the ultimate objective of the complete
cessation of nuclear testing as part of an effective
disarmament process''.
(b) Establishment of Program.--The Secretary of Energy
shall establish and support a program to assure that the United
States is in a position to maintain the reliability, safety,
and continued deterrent effect of its stockpile of existing
nuclear weapons designs in the event that a low-threshold or
comprehensive ban on nuclear explosives testing is negotiated
and ratified within the framework agreed to by the United
States and the Soviet Union.
(c) Purposes of Program.--The purposes of the program under
subsection (b) shall be the following:
(1) To assure that the United States maintains a
vigorous program of stockpile inspection and non-
explosive testing so that, if a low-threshold or
comprehensive test ban is entered into, the United
States remains able to detect and identify potential
problems in stockpile reliability and safety in
existing designs of nuclear weapons.
(2) To assure that the specific materials,
components, processes, and personnel needed for the
remanufacture of existing nuclear weapons or the
substitution of alternative nuclear warheads are
available to support such remanufacture or substitution
if such action becomes necessary in order to satisfy
reliability and safety requirements under a low-
threshold or comprehensive test ban agreement.
(3) To assure that a vigorous program of research in
areas related to nuclear weapons science and
engineering is supported so that, if a low-threshold
comprehensive test ban agreement is entered into, the
United States is able to maintain a base of technical
knowledge about nuclear weapons design and nuclear
weapons effects.
(d) Conduct of Program.--The Secretary of Energy shall
carry out the program provided for in subsection (b). The
program shall be carried out with the participation of
representatives of the Department of Defense, the nuclear
weapons production facilities, and the national nuclear weapons
laboratories.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In the year 2000, approximately 300,000
individuals under the age of 18 are participating in
armed conflict in more than 30 countries worldwide.
(2) Many children participating in armed conflict in
various countries around the world are forcibly
conscripted through kidnapping or coercion, while
others join military units due to economic necessity,
to avenge the loss of a family member, or for their own
personal safety.
(3) Many military commanders frequently force child
soldiers to commit gruesome acts of ritual killings or
torture against their enemies, including against other
children.
(4) Many military commanders separate children from
their families in order to foster dependence on
military units and leaders, leaving children vulnerable
to manipulation, deep traumatization, and in need of
psychological counseling and rehabilitation.
(5) Child soldiers are exposed to hazardous
conditions and risk physical injuries, sexually
transmitted diseases, malnutrition, deformed backs and
shoulders from carrying overweight loads, and
respiratory and skin infections.
(6) Many young female soldiers face the additional
psychological and physical horrors of rape and sexual
abuse, being enslaved for sexual purposes by militia
commanders, and forced to endure severe social stigma
should they return home.
(7) Children in northern Uganda continue to be
kidnapped by the Lords Resistance Army (LRA), which is
supported and funded by the Government of Sudan and
which has committed and continues to commit gross human
rights violations in Uganda.
(8) Children in Sri Lanka have been forcibly
recruited by the opposition Tamil Tigers movement and
forced to kill or be killed in the armed conflict in
that country.
(9) An estimated 7,000 child soldiers have been
involved in the conflict in Sierra Leone, some as young
as age 10, with many being forced to commit
extrajudicial executions, torture, rape, and
amputations for the rebel Revolutionary United Front.
(10) On January 21, 2000, in Geneva, a United Nations
Working Group, including representatives from more than
80 governments including the United States, reached
consensus on an international agreement, referred to in
this case as an ``optional protocol'', on the use of
child soldiers.
(11) This optional protocol, upon entry into force,
will--
(A) raise the international minimum age for
conscription and will require governments to
take all feasible measures to ensure that
members of their armed forces under age 18 do

General Kofi Annan set minimum age requirements for
United Nations peacekeeping personnel that are made
available by member nations of the United Nations.
(13) The United Nations Under-Secretary General for
Peace-keeping, Bernard Miyet, announced in the Fourth
Committee of the General Assembly that contributing
governments of member nations were asked not to send
civilian police and military observers under the age of
25 and that troops in national contingents should
preferably be at least 21 years of age but in no case
should they be younger than 18 years of age.
(14) On August 25, 1999, the United Nations Security
Council unanimously passed Resolution 1261 (1999)
condemning the use of children in armed conflicts.
(15) In addressing the Security Council on August 26,
1999, the Special Representative of the Secretary
General for Children and Armed Conflict, Olara Otunnu,
urged the adoption of a global three-pronged approach
to combatting the use of children in armed conflict
that would--
(A) first, raise the age limit for
recruitment and participation in armed conflict
from the present age of 15 to the age of 18;
(B) second, increase international pressure
on armed groups which currently abuse children;
and
(C) third, address the political, social, and
economic factors that create an environment in
which children are induced by appeal of
ideology or by socio-economic collapse to
become child soldiers.
(16) The United States delegation to the United
Nations working group relating to child soldiers, which
included representatives from the Department of
Defense, supported the Geneva agreement on the optional
protocol.

Assembly unanimously adopted the optional protocol on
the use of child soldiers.
(18) The optional protocol was opened for signature
on June 5, 2000.
(19) The President signed the optional protocol on
behalf of the United States on July 5, 2000.
(b) Congressional Statements on Child Soldiers.--Congress
joins the international community in--
(1) condemning the use of children as soldiers by
governmental and nongovernmental armed forces
worldwide; and
(2) welcoming the optional protocol on the use of
child soldiers adopted by the United Nations General
Assembly on May 25, 2000, as a critical first step in
ending the use of children as soldiers.
(c) Sense of Congress on Further Actions.--It is the sense
of Congress that--
(1) it is essential that the President consult
closely with the Senate with the objective of building
support for ratification by the United States of the
optional protocol and that the Senate move forward as
expeditiously as possible;
(2) the United States should provide assistance,
through a new fund to be established by law, for the
rehabilitation and reintegration into their respective
civilian societies of child soldiers of other nations;
and
(3) the President, acting through the Secretaries of
State and Defense and other appropriate officials,
should undertake all possible efforts to persuade and
encourage other governments to ratify and endorse the
optional protocol on the use of child soldiers.

submarine Kursk resulted in the death of all 118
members of the submarine's crew.
(2) The Kursk is the third vessel of the submarine
fleet of the Russian Federation and its predecessor,
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, to be lost in
an accident at sea with considerable loss of life of

sympathy and the sympathy of the American people to the people
of the Russian Federation and joins the Russian people in
mourning the death of the crewmen of the submarine Kursk.

Cooperation.--It is the sense of Congress that when undersea
accidents or incidents involving submarines or other undersea
vessels occur, it is in the best interests of all nations to
work together to respond promptly to the accident or incident,
rescue and recover the crew of the vessel, minimize the loss of
life, and prevent damage to the oceans.
(d) Establishment of Plan for Responding to Undersea
Accidents or Incidents.--Congress urges the President of the
United States and the President of the Russian Federation, in
coordination with the leaders of other maritime nations that
possess undersea naval and research vessels and undersea rescue

SEC. 1212. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE NEED FOR VIGOROUS
PROSECUTION OF WAR CRIMES, GENOCIDE, AND CRIMES
AGAINST HUMANITY IN THE FORMER REPUBLIC OF
YUGOSLAVIA.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United Nations Security Council created the
International Criminal Tribunal for the former
Yugoslavia (in this section referred to as the
``ICTY'') by resolution on May 25, 1993.
(2) Although the ICTY has indicted 89 people since
its creation, those indictments have only resulted in
the trial and conviction of 8 criminals.
(3) The ICTY has jurisdiction to investigate grave
breaches of the 1949 Geneva Conventions (Article 2),
violations of the laws or customs of war (Article 3),
genocide (Article 4), and crimes against humanity
(Article 5).
(4) The Chief Prosecutor of the ICTY, Justice Louise
Arbour, stated on July 7, 1998, to the Contact Group
for the former Yugoslavia, that ``[t]he Prosecutor
believes that the nature and scale of the fighting
indicate that an `armed conflict', within the meaning
of international law, exists in Kosovo. As a
consequence, she intends to bring charges for crimes
against humanity or war crimes, if evidence of such
crimes is established''.
(5) Reports from Kosovar Albanian refugees provide
detailed accounts of systematic efforts to displace the
entire Muslim population of Kosovo.
(6) In furtherance of this plan, Serbian troops,
police, and paramilitary forces have engaged in
detention and summary execution of men of all ages,
wanton destruction of civilian housing, forcible
expulsions, mass executions in at least 60 villages and
towns, as well as widespread rape of women and young
girls.
(7) These reports of atrocities provide prima facie
evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity, as
well as possible genocide.
(8) Any criminal investigation is best served by the
depositions and interviews of witnesses as soon after
the commission of the crime as possible.
(9) The indictment, arrest, and trial of war
criminals would provide a significant deterrent to
further atrocities.
(10) The ICTY has issued 14 international warrants
for war crimes suspects that have yet to be served,
despite knowledge of the suspects' whereabouts.
(11) Vigorous prosecution of war crimes after the
conflict in Bosnia may have prevented the ongoing
atrocities in Kosovo.
(12) Investigative reporters have identified specific
documentary evidence implicating the Serbian leadership
in the commission of war crimes.
(13) NATO forces and forensic teams deployed in
Kosovo have uncovered physical evidence of war crimes,
including mass graves.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States, in coordination with other
United Nations member states, should provide sufficient
resources for an expeditious and thorough investigation
of allegations of the atrocities and war crimes
committed in Kosovo;
(2) the United States, through its intelligence
services, should provide all possible cooperation in
the gathering of evidence of sufficient specificity and
credibility to secure the indictment of those
responsible for the commission of war crimes, crimes
against humanity, and genocide in the former
Yugoslavia;
(3) where evidence warrants, indictments for war
crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide should be
issued against suspects regardless of their position
within the Serbian leadership;
(4) the United States and all nations have an
obligation to honor arrest warrants issued by the ICTY
and should use all appropriate means to apprehend and
bring to justice through the ICTY individuals who are
already under indictment;
(5) any final settlement regarding Kosovo should not
bar the indictment, apprehension, or prosecution of
persons accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity,
or genocide committed during operations in Kosovo; and
(6) President Slobodan Milosevic should be held
accountable for his actions while President of the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia or President of the
Republic of Serbia in initiating four armed conflicts
and taking actions leading to the deaths of tens of
thousands of people and responsibility for murder,
rape, terrorism, destruction, and ethnic cleansing.

SEC. 1234. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE CONTINUATION OF SANCTIONS
AGAINST LIBYA.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On December 21, 1988, 270 people, including 189
United States citizens, were killed in a terrorist
bombing on Pan American Flight 103 over Lockerbie,
Scotland.
(2) The United Kingdom and the United States indicted
two Libyan intelligence agents, Abd al-Baset Ali al-
Megrahi and Al-Amin Khalifah Fhimah, in 1991 and sought
their extradition from Libya to the United States or
the United Kingdom to stand trial for this heinous
terrorist act.
(3) The United Nations Security Council called for
the extradition of those suspects in Security Council
Resolution 731 and imposed sanctions on Libya in
Security Council Resolutions 748 and 883 because Libyan
leader Colonel Muammar Qadhafi refused to transfer the
suspects to either the United States or the United
Kingdom to stand trial.
(4) United Nations Security Council Resolutions 731,
748, and 883 demand that Libya cease all support for
terrorism, turn over the two suspects, cooperate with
the investigation and the trial, and address the issue
of appropriate compensation.
(5) The sanctions in United Nations Security Council
Resolutions 748 and 883 include--
(A) a worldwide ban on Libya's national
airline;
(B) a ban on flights into and out of Libya by
other nations' airlines; and
(C) a prohibition on supplying arms, airplane
parts, and certain oil equipment to Libya, and
a blocking of Libyan Government funds in other
countries.
(6) Colonel Muammar Qadhafi for many years refused to
extradite the suspects to either the United States or
the United Kingdom and had insisted that he would only
transfer the suspects to a third and neutral country to
stand trial.
(7) On August 24, 1998, the United States and the
United Kingdom agreed to the proposal that Colonel
Qadhafi transfer the suspects to The Netherlands, where
they would stand trial under a Scottish court, under
Scottish law, and with a panel of Scottish judges.
(8) The United Nations Security Council endorsed the
United States-United Kingdom proposal on August 27,
1998 in United Nations Security Council Resolution
1192.
(9) The United States, consistent with United Nations
Security Council resolutions, called on Libya to ensure
the production of evidence, including the presence of
witnesses before the court, and to comply fully with
all the requirements of the United Nations Security
Council resolutions.
(10) After years of intensive diplomacy, Colonel
Qadhafi finally transferred the two Libyan suspects to
The Netherlands on April 5, 1999, and the United
Nations Security Council, in turn, suspended its
sanctions against Libya that same day.
(11) Libya has only fulfilled one of four conditions
(the transfer of the two suspects accused in the
Lockerbie bombing) set forth in United Nations Security
Council Resolutions 731, 748, and 883 that would
justify the lifting of United Nations Security Council
sanctions against Libya.
(12) Libya has not fulfilled the other three
conditions (cooperation with the Lockerbie
investigation and trial, renunciation of and ending
support for terrorism, and payment of appropriate
compensation) necessary to lift the United Nations
Security Council sanctions.
(13) The United Nations Secretary General issued a
report to the Security Council on June 30, 1999, on the
issue of Libya's compliance with the remaining
conditions.
(14) Any member of the United Nations Security
Council has the right to introduce a resolution to lift
the sanctions against Libya now that the United Nations
Secretary General's report has been issued.
(15) The United States Government considers Libya a
state sponsor of terrorism and the State Department
Report, ``Patterns of Global Terrorism; 1998'', stated
that Colonel Qadhafi ``continued publicly and privately
to support Palestinian terrorist groups, including the
PIJ and the PFLP-GC''.
(16) United States Government sanctions (other than
sanctions on food or medicine) should be maintained on
Libya, and in accordance with United States law, the
Secretary of State should keep Libya on the list of
countries the governments of which have repeatedly
provided support for acts of international terrorism
under section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of
1979 in light of Libya's ongoing support for terrorist
groups.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the President should use all diplomatic means necessary,
including the use of the United States veto at the United
Nations Security Council, to prevent the Security Council from
lifting sanctions against Libya until Libya fulfills all of the
conditions set forth in United Nations Security Council
Resolutions 731, 748, and 883.
SEC. 1235. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT ON DISENGAGING FROM NONCRITICAL
OVERSEAS MISSIONS INVOLVING UNITED STATES COMBAT
FORCES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) It is the National Security Strategy of the
United States to ``deter and defeat large-scale, cross-
border aggression in two distant theaters in
overlapping time frames''.
(2) The deterrence of Iraq and Iran in Southwest Asia
and the deterrence of North Korea in Northeast Asia
represent two such potential large-scale, cross-border
theater requirements.
(3) The United States has 120,000 military personnel
permanently assigned to the Southwest Asia and
Northeast Asia theaters.
(4) The United States has an additional 70,000
military personnel assigned to non-NATO/non-Pacific
threat foreign countries.
(5) The United States has more than 6,000 military
personnel in Bosnia-Herzegovina on indefinite
assignment.
(6) The United States has diverted permanently
assigned resources from other theaters to support
operations in the Balkans.
(7) The United States provides military forces to
seven active United Nations peacekeeping operations,
including some missions that have continued for
decades.
(8) Between 1986 and 1998, the number of United
States military deployments per year has nearly tripled
at the same time the Department of Defense budget has
been reduced in real terms by 38 percent.
(9) The Army has 10 active-duty divisions today, down
from 18 in 1991, while on an average day in fiscal year
1998, 28,000 United States Army soldiers were deployed
to more than 70 countries for over 300 separate
missions.
(10) The number of fighter wings in the active
component of the Air Force has gone from 22 to 13 since
1991, while 70 percent of air sorties in Operation
Allied Force over the Balkans were United States-flown
and the Air Force continues to enforce northern and
southern no-fly zones in Iraq. In response, the Air
Force has initiated a ``stop loss'' program to block
normal retirements and separations.
(11) The Navy has been reduced in size to 339 ships,
its lowest level since 1938, necessitating the
redeployment of the only overseas homeported aircraft
carrier from the western Pacific to the Mediterranean
to support Operation Allied Force.
(12) In 1998, just 10 percent of eligible carrier
naval aviators (27 out of 261) accepted continuation
bonuses and remained in the service.
(13) In 1998, 48 percent of Air Force pilots eligible
for continuation chose to leave the service.
(14) The Army could fall 6,000 below congressionally
authorized strength levels by the end of 1999.
(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 referred to in subsection (a)(1) is being eroded
by a combination of declining defense budgets and
expanded missions; and
(2) there may be missions to which the United States
is contributing Armed Forces from which the United
States can begin disengaging.
(c) Report Requirement.--Not later than March 1, 2000, the
President shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services and
the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee
on Armed Services and the Committee on Appropriations of the
House of Representatives a report prioritizing the ongoing
global missions to which the United States is contributing
forces. The President shall include in the report a feasibility
analysis of how the United States can--
(1) shift resources from low priority missions in
support of higher priority missions;
(2) consolidate or reduce United States troop
commitments worldwide; and
(3) end low priority missions.

Subtitle B--Commercial Space Launch Services
SEC. 1611. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING UNITED STATES-RUSSIAN
COOPERATION IN COMMERCIAL SPACE LAUNCH SERVICES.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States should demand full and complete
cooperation from the Government of the Russian
Federation on preventing the illegal transfer from
Russia to Iran or any other country of any prohibited
fissile material or ballistic missile equipment or any
technology necessary for the acquisition or development
by the recipient country of any nuclear weapon or
ballistic missile;
(2) the United States should take every appropriate
measure necessary to encourage the Government of the
Russian Federation to seek out and prevent the illegal
transfer from Russia to Iran or any other country of
any prohibited fissile material or ballistic missile
equipment or any technology necessary for the
acquisition or development by the recipient country of
any nuclear weapon or ballistic missile;
(3) the United States Government decision to increase
the quantitative limitations applicable to commercial
space launch services provided by Russian space launch
providers, based upon a serious commitment by the
Government of the Russian Federation to seek out and
prevent the illegal transfer from Russia to Iran or any
other country of any prohibited ballistic missile
equipment or any technology necessary for the
acquisition or development by the recipient country of
any ballistic missile, should facilitate greater
cooperation between the United States and the Russian
Federation on nonproliferation matters; and
(4) any possible future consideration of modifying
such limitations should be conditioned on a continued
serious commitment by the Government of the Russian
Federation to preventing such illegal transfers.
SEC. 1612. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING UNITED STATES COMMERCIAL SPACE
LAUNCH CAPACITY.
(a) Sense of Congress Concerning United States Commercial
Space Launch Capacity.--It is the sense of Congress that
Congress and the President should work together to stimulate
and encourage the expansion of a commercial space launch

industry.
(b) Sense of Congress Concerning Policy of Permitting
Export of Commercial Satellites to People's Republic of China
for Launch.--It is the sense of Congress that Congress and the
President should--

could pose a substantial risk to the health and safety
of the United States citizens residing in States near

agreement for an ex-gratia reimbursement of Canada in
full satisfaction of claims of Canada relating to
environmental contamination which agreement was
embodied in an exchange of Notes between the Government
of the United States and the Government of Canada.
(6) There is a unique factual basis for authorizing a
reimbursement of Canada for environmental cleanup at
sites in Canada after the United States departure from
such sites.
(7) The basis for and authorization of such
reimbursement does not extend to similar claims by
other nations.
(8) The Government of Canada is committed to spending

(c), the Secretary of Defense may, using funds specified under
subsection (d), make a payment described in paragraph (2) for
each fiscal year through fiscal year 2008 for purposes of the

and all claims asserted against the United States by Canada for
environmental cleanup of sites in Canada that were formerly
used for the mutual defense of the United States and Canada.

$10,000,000, in constant fiscal year 1996 dollars, into the
Foreign Military Sales Trust Account for purposes of Canada.
(c) Condition on Authority for Subsequent Fiscal Years.--A
payment may be made under subsection (b) for a fiscal year
after fiscal year 1999 only if the Secretary of Defense submits
to Congress with the budget for such fiscal year under section
1105 of title 31, United States Code, evidence that the
cumulative amount expended by the Government of Canada for
environmental cleanup activities in Canada during any fiscal
years before such fiscal year in which a payment under that
subsection was authorized was an amount equal to or greater
than the aggregate amount of the payments under that subsection
during such fiscal years.
(d) Source of Funds.--(1) The payment under subsection (b)
for fiscal year 1998 shall be made from amounts appropriated
pursuant to section 301(5) of the National Defense

Subtitle A--United States Armed Forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina
SEC. 1201. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The contributions of the people of the United
States and other nations have, in large measure,
resulted in the suspension of fighting and alleviated
the suffering of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina
since December 1995.
(2) The United States has expended approximately
$9,500,000,000 between 1992 and mid-1998 just in
support of the United States military operations in
Bosnia to achieve those results.
(3) Efforts to restore the economy and political
structure in Bosnia and Herzegovina have achieved some
success in accordance with the Dayton Accords.
(4) On March 3, 1998, the President certified to
Congress (A) that the continued presence of United
States forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina after June 30,
1998, was required in order to meet the national
security interests of the United States, and (B) that
United States Armed Forces will not serve as, or be
used as, civil police in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
(5) With that certification, the President submitted
to Congress a report stating that the goal of the
military presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina is to
establish the conditions under which implementation of
the Dayton Accords can continue without the support of
a major NATO-led military force and setting forth the
criteria for determining when that goal has been
accomplished.
(6) Since the administration has not specified how
long achievement of that goal is expected to take, the
mission of United States ground combat forces in Bosnia
and Herzegovina is essentially of indefinite duration.
(7) The NATO operations plan for the Stabilization
Force (Operations Plan 10407, which went into effect on
June 20, 1998, after approval by allied foreign
ministers) incorporates all of the benchmarks set forth
in the report referred to in paragraph (5) and states
that the Stabilization Force will develop detailed
criteria for assessing progress in achieving those
benchmarks in close coordination with key international
organizations participating in civilian implementation
of the Dayton Accords.
(8) The military representatives of NATO member
nations have been tasked by the North Atlantic Council
to provide estimates of the time likely to be required
for implementation of the Dayton Accords.
(9) NATO has decided to conduct formal reviews when
appropriate (but at intervals of not more than 6
months) to assess the security situation and the
progress being made in the implementation of the civil
aspects of the Dayton Accords. Those reviews will
enable the Alliance to make decisions as to reductions
in the size or the Stabilization Force, leading to its
eventual full withdrawal.
(10) NATO has approved the creation of a
multinational specialized unit of gendarmes or
paramilitary police composed of European security
forces to help promote public security in Bosnia and
Herzegovina as a part of the post-June 1998 mission for
the Stabilization Force.
(11) The limit established for spending by the United
States for the defense discretionary budget category
for fiscal year 1998 in the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 does not take
into account the continued deployment of United States
forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina after June 30, 1998,
leading to the request by the President for emergency
supplemental appropriations for the Bosnia and
Herzegovina mission through September 30, 1998.
(12) Amounts for Department of Defense operations in
Bosnia and Herzegovina during fiscal year 1999 were not
included in the budget of the President for fiscal year
1999, as submitted to Congress on February 2, 1998.
(13) The President requested $1,858,600,000 in
emergency appropriations in his March 4, 1998,
amendment to the fiscal year 1999 budget to cover the
shortfall in funding in fiscal year 1999 for the costs
of extending the mission in Bosnia.
SEC. 1202. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
(a) Sense of Congress Concerning United States Forces and
Accomplishment of Tasks in Bosnia and Herzegovina.--It is the
sense of Congress that--
(1) United States ground combat forces should not
remain in Bosnia and Herzegovina indefinitely in view
of the worldwide commitments of the Armed Forces of the
United States;
(2) the President should work with NATO allies and
the other nations whose military forces are
participating in the NATO-led Stabilization Force to
withdraw United States ground combat forces from Bosnia
and Herzegovina within a reasonable period of time,
consistent with the safety of those forces and the
accomplishment of the Stabilization Force's military
tasks;
(3) a NATO-led force without the participation of
United States ground combat forces in Bosnia and
Herzegovina might be suitable for a follow-on force for
Bosnia and Herzegovina if the European Security and
Defense Identity is not sufficiently developed or is
otherwise considered inappropriate for such a mission;
and
(4) the United States may decide to provide
appropriate support to a Western European Union-led or
NATO-led follow-on force for Bosnia and Herzegovina,
including command and control, intelligence, logistics,
and, if necessary, a ready reserve force in the region.
(b) Sense of Congress Concerning Presidential Actions.--It
is the sense of Congress that the President--
(1) should inform the European NATO allies of the
expression of the sense of Congress in subsection (a)
and should strongly urge them to undertake preparations
for establishing a Western European Union-led or a
NATO-led force as a follow-on force to the
Stabilization Force if needed to maintain peace and
stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina; and
(2) should consult closely with the congressional
leadership and the congressional defense committees
with respect to the progress being made toward
achieving a sustainable peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina
and the progress being made toward a reduction and
ultimate withdrawal of United States ground combat
forces from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
(c) Sense of Congress Concerning Defense Budget.--It is the
sense of Congress that--
(1) the President should include in the budget for
the Department of Defense that the President submits to
Congress under section 1105(a) of title 31, United
States Code, for each fiscal year sufficient amounts to
pay for any proposed continuation of the participation
of United States forces in NATO operations in Bosnia
and Herzegovina during that fiscal year; and
(2) amounts included in the budget for the purpose
stated in paragraph (1) should be over and above the
defense discretionary estimates as identified in the
Bipartisan Budget Agreement of May 16, 1997 and the
fiscal year 1998 concurrent budget resolution and not
be transferred from amounts in the budget of any other
agency of the executive branch, but instead should be
an overall increase in the budget for the Department of
Defense and the discretionary spending limits in the
Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
SEC. 1203. PRESIDENTIAL REPORTS.
(a) Required Reports.--The President shall ensure that the
semiannual reports required by section 7(b) of the general
provisions of chapter I of the 1998 Supplemental Appropriations
and Rescissions Act (Public Law 105-174; 112 Stat. 64) are
submitted to Congress in a timely manner as long as United
States ground combat forces continue to participate in the
Stabilization Force (SFOR). In addition, whenever the President
submits to Congress a request for funds for continued
operations of United States forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
the President shall submit a supplemental report providing
information to update Congress on developments since the last
semiannual report.
(b) Required Information.--In addition to the information
required by the section referred to in subsection (a) to be
included in a report under that section, each report under that
section or under subsection (a) shall include the following:

sustainable peace process.
(2) The percentage of those benchmarks that have been
completed as of the date of the report, the percentage
that are expected to be completed within the next
reporting period, and the expected time for completion
of the remaining tasks.
(3) The status of the NATO force of gendarmes or
paramilitary police, including the mission of the
force, the composition of the force, and the extent, if
any, to which members of the Armed Forces of the United
States are participating (or are to participate) in the
force.
(4) The military and nonmilitary missions that the
President has directed for United States forces in
Bosnia and Herzegovina, including a specific discussion

regarding the nature and level of risk of the mission
for the safety and well-being of United States military
personnel.
(6) An assessment of the cost to the United States,
by fiscal year, of carrying out the missions identified

(7) A joint assessment by the Secretary of Defense
and the Secretary of State of the status of planning
for--
(A) the assumption of all remaining military
missions inside Bosnia and Herzegovina by
European military and paramilitary forces; and
(B) the establishment and support of a
forward-based United States rapid response
force outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina that
would be capable of deploying rapidly to defeat
military threats to a European follow-on force
inside Bosnia and Herzegovina and of providing
whatever logistical, intelligence, and air
support is needed to ensure that a European
follow-on force is fully capable of
accomplishing its missions under the Dayton
Accords.

other executive branch officials have obligated or
requested appropriations of approximately
$9,400,000,000 for military-related operations

Subtitle A--United States Armed Forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina
SEC. 1201. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) United States Armed Forces were deployed to the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Implementation
Force (IFOR) to implement the military aspects of the
Dayton Peace Agreement.
(2) The military aspects of the Dayton Peace
Agreement have been successfully implemented to date
with the military forces of the warring factions
successfully separated and a cessation in the
hostilities that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of
thousands of Bosnians.
(3) Implementation of the civil aspects of the Dayton
Peace Agreement has lagged far behind the schedule for
such implementation envisioned in the Agreement with
the result that United States Armed Forces have
undertaken a prolonged engagement in the Republic of
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
(4) On December 13, 1995, the President stated in a
letter to Congress, ``NATO and U.S. military commanders
believe, and I expect, that the military mission can be
accomplished in about a year. Twelve months will allow
IFOR time to complete the military tasks assigned in
the Dayton agreement and to establish a secure
environment, in which political and economic
reconstruction efforts by the parties and international
civilian agencies can take hold. Within one year, we
expect that the military provisions of the Dayton
agreement will have been carried out, implementation of
the civilian aspects and economic reconstruction will
have been firmly launched, free elections will have
been held under international supervision and a stable
military balance will have been established.''
(5) Notwithstanding a number of assurances relating
to the accomplishment of the military mission in the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina by December 1996,
the President, on November 15, 1996, announced his
decision to extend the presence of United States forces
in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to
participate in the NATO Stabilization Force (SFOR)
until June 1998.
(6) Despite initial projections by the Department of
Defense that the costs of United States operations in
the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina would total
$1,500,000,000, the projected cost of United States
operations in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina
through June 1998 is estimated to exceed
$7,000,000,000.
(7) The fiscal year 1998 estimate of the Department
of Defense for operations in the Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina assumes that the level of military forces
participating in SFOR will be reduced soon after the
start of the fiscal year.
(8) The President and the Secretary of Defense have
stated that United States forces are to be withdrawn
from the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the end
of June 1998.
SEC. 1202. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) United States ground combat forces should not
participate in a follow-on force in the Republic of
Bosnia and Herzegovina after June 1998;
(2) the European Security and Defense Identity,
which, as facilitated by the Combined Joint Task Forces
concept, enables the Western European Union, with the
consent of the North Atlantic Alliance, to assume
political control and strategic direction of NATO
assets made available for the Alliance, may be an ideal
instrument for a follow-on force for the Republic of
Bosnia and Herzegovina;
(3) a NATO-led force without the participation of
United States ground combat forces in the Republic of
Bosnia and Herzegovina may be suitable for a follow-on
force for the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina if the
European Security and Defense Identity is not
sufficiently developed or is otherwise considered
inappropriate for such a mission;
(4) the United States may decide to provide
appropriate support to a Western European Union-led or
NATO-led follow-on force, including command and
control, intelligence, logistics, and, if necessary, a
ready reserve force in the region;
(5) the President should inform our European NATO
allies of this expression of the sense of Congress and
should urge them strongly to undertake preparations for
a Western European Union-led or NATO-led force as a
follow-on force to the NATO-led SFOR if needed to
maintain peace and stability in the Republic of Bosnia
and Herzegovina; and
(6) the President should consult with the Congress
with respect to any support to be provided to a Western
European Union-led or NATO-led follow-on force in the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina after June 30, 1998.
SEC. 1203.\27\ WITHDRAWAL OF UNITED STATES GROUND FORCES FROM REPUBLIC

SEC. 1223. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORTS REGARDING FINANCIAL COSTS OF
ENLARGEMENT OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY
ORGANIZATION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In a report to Congress in February 1997 on the
rationale, benefits, costs, and implications of North
Atlantic Treaty Organization enlargement the Secretary
of Defense estimated that the financial cost to the
United States of such enlargement will be modest,
totaling between $2,000,000,000 and $2,600,000,000 for
the period from 1997 through 2009.
(2) A study by the RAND Corporation published in 1996
calculated that the total financial cost to the United
States of such enlargement will be between
$5,000,000,000 and $6,000,000,000 over the same period.
(3) A March 1996 report by the Congressional Budget
Office on the financial costs of enlarging the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance estimated the
United States share of alliance enlargement costs to be
between $4,800,000,000 and $18,900,000,000 through
2010, depending upon political developments in Europe.
(4) An August 1997 report by the General Accounting
Office \46\ reviewing the financial cost estimates of
the Secretary of Defense concluded that North Atlantic
Treaty Organization enlargement could entail additional
costs beyond those included in the Secretary's estimate
and questioned the validity of the Secretary's estimate
due to the lack of supporting cost documentation and
the inclusion of cost elements not related to NATO
enlargement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\46\ Sec. 8 of the GAO Human Capital Reform Act of 2004 (Public Law
108-271; 118 Stat. 814) redesignated the ``General Accounting Office''
as the ``Government Accountability Office'' and provided that ``Any
reference to the General Accounting Office in any law, rule,
regulations, certificate, directive, instruction, or other official
paper in force on the date of enactment of this Act shall be considered
to refer and apply to the Government Accountability Office.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) The North Atlantic Alliance is scheduled to
complete its analysis of the military requirements for
the integration of Poland, the Czech Republic, and
Hungary into the Alliance in December 1997.
(6) The North Atlantic Alliance is also scheduled to
complete in December 1997 its financial cost estimate
of the military requirements related to the integration
of those nations.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the analysis of the North Atlantic Alliance of the military
requirements relating to NATO enlargement and of the financial
costs to the Alliance of NATO enlargement will be one of the
major factors in the consideration by the Senate of the
ratification of instruments to approve the admission of new
member nations to the Alliance and by Congress for the
authorization and appropriation of the funding for the costs
associated with such enlargement.
(c) Report Assessing NATO Cost Analysis.--Not later than
March 31, 1998, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to
Congress a report providing--
(1) an assessment of the analysis by the North
Atlantic Alliance of the military requirements related
to NATO enlargement and of the estimate of the
financial costs to the NATO Alliance for the
integration of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary
into the Alliance;
(2) a description of the analytical means used to
determine such requirements and costs; and
(3) a general assessment of the additional military
requirements and costs that would result from a
significantly increased threat.
(d) Report on Department of Defense Costs.--(1) The
Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress, in conjunction
with the submission of the President's budget for fiscal year
1999, a report on Department of Defense costs for NATO
enlargement. The report shall include a detailed estimate of
such costs for fiscal year 1998 that identifies all
appropriations, by budget activity, for the military
departments and other elements of the Department of Defense to
support NATO enlargement.
(2) The Secretary of Defense shall include in the budget
justification materials submitted to Congress by the Secretary
in support of the budget of Department of Defense for fiscal
year 1999 complete and detailed descriptions and estimates of
the amounts provided in that budget for the costs of NATO
enlargement.
SEC. 1224. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ENLARGEMENT OF THE NORTH
ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) met
on July 8 and 9, 1997, in Madrid, Spain, and issued
invitations to the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland
to begin accession talks to join NATO.
(2) Congress has expressed its support for the
process of NATO enlargement by approving the NATO
Enlargement Facilitation Act of 1996 (title VI of the
matter enacted in section 101(c) of division A of
Public Law 104-208; 22 U.S.C. 1928 note).
(3) The United States has supported the position that
the process of enlarging NATO will continue after the
first round of invitations in July 1997.
(4) Romania and Slovenia are to be commended for
their progress toward political and economic reform and
appear to be striving to meet the guidelines for
prospective membership in NATO.
(5) In furthering the purpose and objective of NATO
in promoting stability and well-being in the North
Atlantic area, NATO should invite Romania and Slovenia
to accession negotiations to become NATO members as
expeditiously as possible upon the satisfaction of all
relevant membership criteria and consistent with NATO
security objectives.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
North Atlantic Treaty Organization should be commended--
(1) for having committed to review the process of
enlarging the Organization in 1999; and
(2) for singling out the positive developments toward
democracy and rule of law in Romania and Slovenia.
SEC. 1225. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO LEVEL OF UNITED STATES
MILITARY PERSONNEL IN THE EAST ASIA AND PACIFIC
REGION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The stability of the Asia-Pacific region is a
matter of vital national interest affecting the well-
being of all Americans.
(2) The nations of the Pacific Rim collectively
represent the United States largest trading partner and
are expected to account for almost one-third of the
world's economic activity by the start of the next
century.
(3) The increased reliance by the United States on
trade and Middle East oil sources has reinforced United
States security interests in the Southeast Asia
shipping lanes through the South China Sea and the key
straits of Malacca, Sunda, Lombok, and Makassar.
(4) The South China Sea is an important area for
United States Navy ships passing from the Pacific to
the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf.
(5) Maintaining freedom of navigation in the South
China Sea is an important interest of the United
States.
(6) The threats of proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction, the emerging nationalism amidst long-
standing ethnic and national rivalries, and the
unresolved territorial disputes combine to create a
political landscape of potential instability and
conflict in this region that could jeopardize the
interests of the United States and the safety of United
States nationals.
(7) A critical component of the East Asia strategy of
the United States is maintaining forward deployed
forces in Asia to ensure broad regional stability, to
help to deter aggression, to lessen the pressure for
arms races, and to contribute to the political and
economic advances of the region from which the United
States benefits.
(8) The forward presence of the United States in
Northeast Asia enables the United States to respond to
regional contingencies, to protect sea lines of
communication, to sustain influence, and to support
operations as distant as operations in the Persian
Gulf.
(9) The military forces of the United States serve to
prevent the political or economic control of the Asia-
Pacific region by a rival, hostile power or coalition
of such powers, thus preventing any such group from
obtaining control over the vast resources, enormous
wealth, and advanced technology of the region.
(10) Allies of the United States in the region can
base their defense planning on a reliable American
security commitment, a reduction of which could
stimulate an arms buildup in the region.
(11) The Joint Announcement of the United States-
Japan Security Consultative Committee of December 1996,
acknowledged that ``the forward presence of U.S. forces
continues to be an essential element for pursuing our
common security objectives''.
(12) The United States and Japan signed the United
States-Japan Security Declaration in April 1996, in
which the United States reaffirmed its commitment to
maintain this level of 100,000 United States military
personnel in the region.
(13) The United States military presence is
recognized by the nations of the region as serving
stability and enabling United States engagement.
(14) The nations of East Asia and the Pacific
consider the commitment of the forces of the United
States to be so vital to their future that they
scrutinize actions of the United States for any sign of
weakened commitment to the security of the region.
(15) The reduction of forward-based military forces
could negatively affect the ability of the United
States to contribute to the maintenance of peace and
stability of the Asia and Pacific region.
(16) Recognizing that while the United States must
consider the overall capabilities of its forces in its
decisions to deploy troops, nevertheless any reduction
in the number of forward-based troops may reduce the
perception of American capability and commitment in the
region that cannot be completely offset by
modernization of the remaining forces.
(17) During time of crisis, deployment of forces to
East Asia, even though such forces were previously
removed from the area, might be deemed to be an act of
provocation that could be used as a pretext by a
hostile power for armed aggression within the region,
and the existence of that possibility might hinder such
a deployment.
(18) Proposals to reduce the forward presence of the
United States in the East Asia region or subordinate
security interests to United States domestic budgetary
concerns can erode the perception of the commitment of
the United States to its alliances and interests in the
region.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the United States should maintain at least approximately
100,000 United States military personnel in the East Asia and
Pacific region until such time as there is a peaceful and
permanent resolution to the major security and political
conflicts in the region.
SEC. 1226. REPORT ON FUTURE MILITARY CAPABILITIES AND STRATEGY OF THE
PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.
(a) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall prepare a
report, in both classified and unclassified form, on the
pattern of military modernization of the People's Republic of
China. The report shall address the probable course of

(4) Efforts by the People's Republic of China to
enhance its capabilities in the area of nuclear weapons
development.
(5) Efforts by the People's Republic of China to
develop long-range air-to-air or air defense missiles

to place weapons in space or to develop earth-based
weapons capable of attacking space-based systems.
(9) Trends that would lead the People's Republic of
China toward the development of advanced intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities,
including gaining access to commercial or third-party
systems with military significance.
(10) Efforts by the People's Republic of China to
develop highly accurate and stealthy ballistic and
cruise missiles, including sea-launched cruise
missiles, particularly in numbers sufficient to conduct
attacks capable of overwhelming projected defense
capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region.
(11) Development by the People's Republic of China of
command and control networks, particularly those
capable of battle management of long-range precision
strikes.
(12) Efforts by the People's Republic of China in the

technologies).
(14) Programs of the People's Republic of China
involving unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly those
with extended ranges or loitering times or potential
strike capabilities.
(15) Exploitation by the People's Republic of China
for military purposes of the Global Positioning System
or other similar systems (including commercial land
surveillance satellites), with such analysis and
forecasts focusing particularly on indications of an
attempt to increase the accuracy of weapons or
situational awareness of operating forces.
(16) Development by the People's Republic of China of
capabilities for denial of sea control, including such
systems as advanced sea mines, improved submarine
capabilities, or land-based sea-denial systems.
(17) Efforts by the People's Republic of China to
develop its anti-submarine warfare capabilities.
(18) Continued development by the People's Republic
of China of follow-on forces, particularly forces
capable of rapid air or amphibious assault.

enhance its capabilities in such additional areas of
strategic concern as the Secretary identifies.
(c) Analysis of Implications of Sales of Products and
Technologies to Entities in China.--The report under subsection
(a) shall include, with respect to each area for analyses and
forecasts specified in subsection (b)--
(1) an assessment of the military effects of sales of
United States and foreign products and technologies to
entities in the People's Republic of China; and
(2) the potential threat of developments related to
such effects to United States strategic interests.
(d) Submission of Report.--The report shall be submitted to
Congress not later than March 15, 1998.
SEC. 1227. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NEED FOR RUSSIAN OPENNESS ON THE
YAMANTAU MOUNTAIN PROJECT.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
(1) The United States and Russia have been working
since the end of the Cold War to achieve a strategic
relationship based on cooperation and openness between
the two nations.
(2) This effort to establish a new strategic
relationship between the two nations has resulted in
the conclusion or agreement in principle on a number of
far-reaching agreements, including START I, II, and
III, a revision in the Conventional Forces in Europe
Treaty, and a series of other agreements (such as the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Chemical Weapons
Convention), designed to further reduce bilateral
threats and limit the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction.
(3) These far-reaching agreements were based on the
understanding between the United States and Russia that
there would be a good faith effort on both sides to
comply with the letter and spirit of the agreements.
(4) Reports indicate that Russia has been pursuing
construction of a massive underground facility of
unknown purpose at Yamantau Mountain and the city of
Mezhgorye (formerly the settlements of Beloretsk-15 and
Beloretsk-16) that is designed to survive a nuclear war
and appears to exceed reasonable defense requirements.
(5) The Yamantau Mountain project does not appear to
be consistent with the lowering of strategic threats,
openness, and cooperation that is the basis of the
post-Cold War strategic partnership between the United
States and Russia.
(6) The United States has allowed senior Russian
military and government officials to have access to key
strategic facilities of the United States by providing
tours of the North American Air Defense (NORAD) command
at Cheyenne Mountain and the United States Strategic
Command (STRATCOM) headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska,
among other sites, and by providing extensive briefings
on the operations of those facilities.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the Russian government--
(1) should provide to the United States Government a
written explanation with sufficient detail (including
drawings and diagrams) of the purpose and operational
concept of the completed and planned facilities at
Yamantau Mountain to support a high confidence judgment
by the United States that the design of the Yamantau
facility is consistent with official Russian government
explanations; and
(2) should allow a United States delegation, to
include officials of the executive branch and Members
of Congress, to have access to the Yamantau Mountain
project and buildings and facilities surrounding the
project.
SEC. 1228. ASSESSMENT OF THE CUBAN THREAT TO UNITED STATES NATIONAL
SECURITY.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Cuba has maintained a hostile policy in its
relations with the United States for over 35 years.
(2) The United States, as a sovereign nation, must be
able to respond to any Cuban provocation and defend the
people and territory of the United States against any
attack.
(3) In 1994, the Government of Cuba callously
encouraged a massive exodus of Cubans, by boat and
raft, toward the United States during which countless
numbers of those Cubans lost their lives on the high
seas.
(4) The humanitarian response of the United States to
rescue, shelter, and provide emergency care to those
Cubans, together with the actions taken to absorb some
30,000 of those Cubans into the United States, required
significant efforts and the expenditure of hundreds of
millions of dollars for the costs incurred by the
United States and State and local governments in
connection with those efforts.
(5) On February 24, 1996, Cuban MiG aircraft attacked
and destroyed, in international airspace, two unarmed
civilian aircraft flying from the United States, and
the four persons in those unarmed civilian aircraft
were killed.
(6) Since that attack, the Cuban government has
issued no apology for the attack, nor has it indicated
any intention to conform its conduct to international
law that is applicable to civilian aircraft operating
in international airspace.
(b) Review and Assessment.--The Secretary of Defense shall
carry out a comprehensive review and assessment of--
(1) Cuban military capabilities; and
(2) the threats to the national security of the
United States that may be posed by Cuba, including--
(A) such unconventional threats as (i)
encouragement of massive and dangerous
migration, and (ii) attacks on citizens and
residents of the United States while they are
engaged in peaceful protest in international
waters or airspace;
(B) the potential for development and
delivery of chemical or biological weapons; and
(C) the potential for internal strife in Cuba
that could involve citizens or residents of the
United States or the Armed Forces of the United
States.
(c) Report.--Not later than March 31, 1998, the Secretary
of Defense shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of
the Senate and the Committee on National Security of the House
of Representatives a report on the review and assessment. The
report shall include the following:
(1) The Secretary's assessment of the capabilities
and threats referred to in subsection (b), including
each of the threats described in paragraph (2) of that
subsection.
(2) A discussion of the results of the review and
assessment, including an assessment of the contingency
plans developed by the Secretary to counter any threat
posed by Cuba to the United States.
(d) Consultation on Review and Assessment.--In performing
the review and assessment and in preparing the report, the
Secretary of Defense shall consult with the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, the commander of the United States
Southern Command, and the heads of other appropriate
departments and agencies of the United States.
SEC. 1229. REPORT ON HELSINKI JOINT STATEMENT.
(a) Requirement.--Not later than March 31, 1998, the
President shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of
the Senate and the Committee on National Security of the House
of Representatives a report on the Helsinki Joint Statement on
future reductions in nuclear forces. The report shall address
the United States approach (including verification
implications) to implementing the Helsinki Joint Statement, in
particular, as that Statement relates to the following:
(1) Lower aggregate levels of strategic nuclear
warheads.
(2) Measures relating to the transparency of
strategic nuclear warhead inventories and the
destruction of strategic nuclear warheads.
(3) Deactivation of strategic nuclear delivery
vehicles.
(4) Measures relating to nuclear long-range sea-
launched cruise missiles and tactical nuclear systems.
(5) Issues related to transparency in nuclear
materials.
(b) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term
``Helsinki Joint Statement'' means the agreements between the
President of the United States and the President of the Russian
Federation as contained in the Joint Statement on Parameters on
Future Reductions in Nuclear Forces issued at Helsinki in March
1997.
SEC. 1230. COMMENDATION OF MEXICO ON FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On July 6, 1997, elections were conducted in
Mexico in order to fill 500 seats in the Chamber of
Deputies, 32 seats in the 128 seat Senate, the office
of the Mayor of Mexico City, and local elections in a

by political conflict, war, and violence, including
genocide perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge from 1975 to

Political Settlement of the Cambodia Conflict set the
stage for a process of political accommodation and

support for democracy when 90 percent of eligible
Cambodian voters participated in United Nations-
sponsored elections in 1993.

economic progress, as shown by the recent decision of
the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to
extend membership in the Association to Cambodia.

have erupted into violence.
(7) In March 1997, 19 Cambodians were killed and more

threatened by the continued use of violence and other
extralegal means to resolve political tensions.

referred to in paragraph (9)--

Nations (ASEAN) has decided to delay
indefinitely admission of Cambodia to
membership in the Association.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the parties in Cambodia should immediately cease
the use of violence;

to ensure the safety of United States citizens in
Cambodia;
(3) the United States should call an emergency
meeting of the United Nations Security Council to
consider all options to restore peace and democratic
governance in Cambodia;

Southeast Asian Nations should work together to take
immediate steps to restore democracy and the rule of
law in Cambodia;

to encourage other donor nations to suspend assistance
as part of a multilateral effort.

SEC. 1081. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING SEMICONDUCTOR TRADE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND JAPAN.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States and Japan share a long and
important bilateral relationship which serves as an
anchor of peace and stability in the Asia Pacific
region, an alliance which was reaffirmed at the recent
summit meeting between President Clinton and Prime
Minister Hashimoto in Tokyo.
(2) The Japanese economy has experienced difficulty
over the past few years, demonstrating that it is no
longer possible for Japan, the world's second largest
economy, to use exports as the sole engine of economic
growth, but that the Government of Japan must promote
deregulation of its domestic economy in order to
increase economic growth.
(3) Deregulation of the Japanese economy requires
government attention to the removal of barriers to
imports of manufactured goods.
(4) The United States-Japan Semiconductor Trade
Agreement has begun the process of deregulation in the
semiconductor sector and is opening the Japanese market
to competitive foreign products.
(5) The United States-Japan Semiconductor Trade
Agreement has put in place both government-to-
government and industry-to-industry mechanisms which
have played a vital role in allowing cooperation to
replace conflict in this important high technology
sector.
(6) The mechanisms include joint calculation of
foreign market share, deterrence of dumping, and
promotion of industrial cooperation in the design of
foreign semiconductor devices.
(7) Because of these actions under the United States-
Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement, the United States
and Japan today enjoy trade in semiconductors which is
mutually beneficial, harmonious, and free from the
friction that once characterized the semiconductor
industry.
(8) Because of structural barriers in Japan, a gap
still remains between the share of the world market for
semiconductor products outside Japan that the United
States and other foreign semiconductor sources are able
to capture through competitiveness and the share of the
Japanese semiconductor market that the United States
and those other sources are able to capture through
competitiveness, and that gap is consistent across the
full range of semiconductor products as well as a full
range of end-use applications.
(9) The competitiveness and health of the United
States semiconductor industry is of critical importance
to the overall economic well-being and high-technology
defense capabilities of the United States.
(10) The economic interests of both the United States
and Japan are best served by well functioning, open
markets, deterrence of dumping, and continuing good
cooperative relationships in all sectors, including
semiconductors.
(11) A strong and healthy military and political
alliance between the United States and Japan requires
continuation of the industrial and economic cooperation
promoted by the United States-Japan Semiconductor Trade
Agreement.
(12) President Clinton has called on the Government
of Japan to agree to a continuation of the United
States-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement beyond the
current agreement's expiration on July 31, 1996.
(13) The Government of Japan has opposed any
continuation of the United States-Japan Semiconductor
Trade Agreement to promote cooperation in United
States-Japan semiconductor trade.
(b) Sense of Congress.--On the basis of the findings
contained in subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) it is regrettable that the Government of Japan
has refused to consider continuation of the United
States-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement to ensure
that cooperation continues in the semiconductor sector
beyond the expiration of the agreement on July 31,
1996; and
(2) the President should take all necessary and
appropriate actions to ensure the resumption and
extension of the United States-Japan Semiconductor
Trade Agreement beyond July 31, 1996.
(c) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term
``United States-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement'' refers to
the agreement between the United States and Japan concerning
trade in semiconductor products, with arrangement, done by
exchange of letters at Washington on June 11, 1991.

of Department of Defense personnel to positions in private
industry that support the defense ministry of the host foreign
government.
(3) An individual may not be assigned to a position
pursuant to an international defense personnel exchange
agreement unless the assignment is acceptable to both
governments.
(c) Reciprocity of Personnel Qualifications Required.--Each
government shall be required under an international defense

subsections (c) and (d) shall apply in the exercise of any
authority of the Secretaries of the military departments to
enter into an agreement with the government of a foreign
country to provide for the exchange of members of the armed
forces and military personnel of the foreign country. The
Secretary of Defense may prescribe regulations for the
application of such subsections in the exercise of such
authority.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States is committed to proceeding with
a robust, science-based stockpile stewardship program
with respect to production of nuclear weapons, and to
maintaining nuclear weapons production capabilities and
capacities, that are adequate--
(A) to ensure the safety, reliability, and
performance of the United States nuclear
arsenal; and
(B) to meet such changing national security
requirements as may result from international
developments or technical problems with nuclear
warheads.
(2) The United States is committed to reestablishing
and maintaining production facilities for nuclear
weapons components at levels that are sufficient--
(A) to satisfy requirements for the safety,
reliability, and performance of United States
nuclear weapons; and
(B) to demonstrate and sustain production
capabilities and capacities.
(3) The United States is committed to maintaining the
nuclear weapons laboratories and protecting core
nuclear weapons competencies.
(4) The United States is committed to ensuring rapid
access to a new production source of tritium within the
next decade, as it currently has no meaningful
capability to produce tritium, a component that is
essential to the performance of modern nuclear weapons.
(5) The United States reserves the right, consistent
with United States law, to resume underground nuclear
testing to maintain confidence in the United States
stockpile of nuclear weapons if warhead design flaws or
aging of nuclear weapons result in problems that a
robust stockpile stewardship program cannot solve.
(6) The United States is committed to funding the
Nevada Test Site at a level that maintains the ability
of the United States to resume underground nuclear
testing within one year after a national decision to do
so is made.
(7) The United States reserves the right to invoke
the supreme national interest of the United States and
withdraw from any future arms control agreement to
limit underground nuclear testing.
(b) Sense of Congress Regarding Presidential Consultation
With Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the President
should consult closely with Congress regarding United States
policy and practices to ensure confidence in the safety,
reliability, and performance of the nuclear stockpile of the
United States.
(c) Sense of Congress Regarding Notification and
Consultation.--It is the sense of Congress that, upon a
determination by the President that a problem with the safety,
reliability, or performance of the nuclear stockpile has
occurred and that the problem cannot be corrected within the
stockpile stewardship program, the President shall--
(1) immediately notify Congress of the problem; and
(2) submit to Congress in a timely manner a plan for
corrective action with respect to the problem,
including--
(A) a technical description of the activities
required under the plan; and

and 15 Air Force personnel returned from China
following the war, the committee can now firmly
conclude that the People's Republic of China
surely has information on the fate of other
unaccounted for American POWs from the Korean
conflict.''.
(2) The Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs
recommended in that report that ``the Department of
State and Defense form a POW/MIA task force on China
similar to Task Force Russia.''.
(3) Neither the Department of Defense nor the
Department of State has held substantive discussions
with officials from the People's Republic of China
concerning unaccounted for American prisoners of war of
the Korean conflict.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the Secretary of Defense should establish contact with
officials of the Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic
of China regarding unresolved issues relating to American
prisoners of war and American personnel missing in action as a
result of the Korean conflict.
SEC. 1034. INFORMATION CONCERNING UNACCOUNTED FOR UNITED STATES
PERSONNEL OF THE VIETNAM CONFLICT.
(a) Requirement.--Not later than 45 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall
submit to Congress a report containing the information
specified in subsection (b) pertaining to United States
personnel involved in the Vietnam conflict who remain not
accounted for.
(b) Required Information.--The information to be provided
in the report under subsection (a) is as follows:
(1) A complete listing by name of all such personnel
about whom it is possible that officials of the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam can produce additional
information or remains that could lead to the maximum
possible accounting for those personnel, as determined
on the basis of all information available to the United
States Government.
(2) A complete listing by name of all such personnel
about whom it is possible that officials of the Lao
People's Democratic Republic can produce additional
information or remains that could lead to the maximum
possible accounting for those personnel, as determined
on the basis of all information available to the United
States Government.
SEC. 1035. REPORT ON POW/MIA MATTERS CONCERNING NORTH KOREA.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs of the
Senate concluded in its final report, dated January 13,
1993, that ``it is likely that a large number of
possible MIA remains can be repatriated and several
records and documents on unaccounted for POW's and
MIA's can be provided from North Korea once a joint
working level commission is set up under the leadership
of the United States.''.
(2) The Select Committee recommended in such report
that ``the Departments of State and Defense take
immediate steps to form this commission through the
United Nations Command at Panmunjom, Korea'' and that
the ``commission should have a strictly humanitarian
mission and should not be tied to political
developments on the Korean peninsula.''.
(3) In August 1993, the United States and North Korea
entered into an agreement concerning the repatriation
of remains of United States personnel.
(4) The establishment of a joint working level
commission with North Korea could enhance the prospects
for results under the August 1993 agreement.
(b) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall, at the end of
January and September of 1995, submit a report to Congress on
the status of efforts to obtain information from North Korea
concerning United States personnel involved in the Korean
conflict who remain not accounted for and to obtain from North
Korea any remains of such personnel.
(c) Commission.--The President shall give serious
consideration to establishing a joint working level commission
with North Korea, consistent with the recommendations of the
Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs of the Senate set forth in
the final report of the committee, dated January 13, 1993, to
resolve the remaining issues relating to United States
personnel who became prisoners of war or missing in action
during the Korean conflict.

TITLE XIII--MATTERS RELATING TO ALLIES AND OTHER NATIONS
Subtitle A--Matters Relating to NATO
* * * * * * *
SEC. 1302. NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has served
as a bulwark of peace, security, and democracy for the
United States and the members of the alliance since
1949.
(2) The unswerving resolve of the member states of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to mutual
defense against the threat of communist aggression was
central to the demise of the Warsaw Pact.
(3) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is the
most successful international security organization in
history and is well suited to help marshal cooperative
political, diplomatic, economic, and humanitarian
efforts, buttressed by credible military capability
aimed at deterring conflict, and thus contributing to
international peace and security.
(4) The threat of instability in Eastern and Central
Europe, as well as in the Southern and Eastern
Mediterranean, continues to pose a fundamental
challenge to the interests of the member states of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
(5) North Atlantic Treaty Organization assets have
been deployed in recent years for more than the
territorial defense of alliance members, and the Rome
Summit of October 1991 adopted a new strategic concept
for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that
entertained the possibility of operations beyond the
alliance's self-defense area.
(6) In Oslo in July 1992, and in Brussels in December
1992, the alliance embraced the deployment of North
Atlantic Treaty Organization forces to peacekeeping
operations under the auspices of the United Nations or
the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe.
(7) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization should
attempt to cooperate with and seek a mandate from
international organizations such as the United Nations
when considering responses to crises outside the
alliances's self-defense area.
(8) Not all members of the international community
share a commonality of interests that would ensure
timely action by the United Nations Security Council.
(9) It is critical that the security interests of the
member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization not be held hostage to indecision at the
United Nations or a veto by a permanent member of the
Security Council.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) it should be the policy of the United States
that, in accordance with article 53 of the United
Nations Charter, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
retains the right of autonomy of action regarding
missions in addition to collective defense should the
United Nations Security Council or the Conference on
Security and Cooperation in Europe fail to act;
(2) while it is desirable to work with other
international organizations and arrangements where
feasible in dealing with threats to the peace, the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization is not an auxiliary
to the United Nations or any other organization; and
(3) the member states of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization reserve the right to act collectively in
defense of their vital interests.
SEC. 1303. AUTHORIZED END STRENGTH FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL IN EUROPE.
(a) End Strength.--Paragraph (1) of section 1002(c) of the
Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (22 U.S.C. 1928

shall take effect on October 1, 1995.
SEC. 1304. ALLIED SHARE OF INSTALLATIONS COSTS.
(a) Goal for Allied Contributions.--In continuing efforts
to enter into revised host-nation agreements as described in
section 1301(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484; 106 Stat. 2545) and
section 1401(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160; 107 Stat. 1824), the
President shall seek to have European member nations of NATO
assume an increased share of the nonpersonnel costs for United
States military installations in those nations so that (1) \7\
by September 30, 1996, those nations have assumed 37.5 percent
of such costs, and (2) by September 30, 1997, those nations
have assumed 42.5 percent of such costs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ Sec. 1333 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106; 110 Stat. 484) inserted clause
designation ``(1)'' and added clause (2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
(1) The term ``nonpersonnel costs'', with respect to
United States military installations in European member
nations of NATO, means costs for those installations
other than costs paid from military personnel accounts.
(2) The term ``contributions'', with respect to the
share of such nonpersonnel costs assumed by the
European member nations of NATO, means those cash and
in-kind contributions made by such nations that replace
expenditures that would otherwise be made by the
Secretary using funds appropriated or otherwise made
available in defense appropriations Acts.
SEC. 1305. PAYMENTS-IN-KIND FOR RELEASE OF UNITED STATES OVERSEAS
MILITARY FACILITIES TO NATO HOST COUNTRIES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States has invested $6,500,000,000 in
military infrastructure in North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO) countries.
(2) As part of an overall plan to reduce United
States troop strength overseas, the Department of
Defense plans to close, or reduce United States
military presence at, 867 military sites outside the
United States.
(3) Most of the military sites outside the United
States announced for closure are in Europe, where the
United States has already closed 434 such sites while
carrying out a reduction in troop strength in Europe
from 323,432 in 1987 to approximately 100,000 by the
end of fiscal year 1996.
(4) When the United States closes military sites in
Europe, it leaves buildings, roads, sewers, and other
real property improvements behind.
(5) Some of the European NATO allies have agreed to
pay the United States for the residual value of the
real property improvements left behind.
(6) Although the United States military drawdown has
been rapid since 1990, European allies have been slow
to pay the United States the residual value of the
sites released by the United States.
(7) As of 1994, the United States has recouped only
$33,300,000 in cash, most of which was recovered in
1989.
(8) Although the United States has released to
Germany over 60 percent of the military sites planned
for closure by the United States in that country and
the current value of United States facilities to be
returned to the German government is estimated at
approximately $2,700,000,000, the German government has
budgeted only $25,000,000 for fiscal year 1994 for
payment of compensation for the United States
investment in those facilities.
(b) Policy.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the President should redouble efforts to recover
the value of the United States investment in the
military infrastructure in NATO countries;
(2) the President should enter into negotiations with
the government of each NATO host country with a
presumption that payments to compensate the United
States for the negotiated value of improvements will be
made in cash and deposited in the Department of Defense
Overseas Military Facility Investment Recovery Account;
(3) the President should enter into negotiations for
payments-in-kind only as a last resort and only after
informing the Congress that negotiations for cash
payments have not been successful; and
(4) to the extent that in-kind contributions are
received in lieu of cash payments in any fiscal year,
the in-kind contributions should be used for projects
that are identified priorities of the Department of
Defense.

reimbursement of the costs of conferences, seminars, courses of
instruction, or similar educational activities of the George C.
Marshall European Center for Security Studies for military

United States.

SEC. 1315. REVIEW AND REPORT REGARDING DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROGRAMS
RELATING TO REGIONAL SECURITY AND HOST NATION
DEVELOPMENT IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The political environment in the Western
Hemisphere has been characterized in recent years by
significant democratic advances and an absence of
international strife, but democracy in some nations of
the region is fragile.
(2) It is desirable for the Department of Defense to
perform a positive role in influencing the defense
establishments and military forces of nations in the
Western Hemisphere to make positive contributions to
the democratic process and to domestic development
programs of their respective nations.
(3) Congress receives a number of annual reports
relating to specific authorities granted to the
Secretary of Defense under title 10, United States
Code, such as the authorities relating to the conduct
of bilateral or regional cooperation programs under
section 1051 of that title, participation of developing
countries in combined exercises under section 2010 of
that title, and the training of special operations
forces with friendly forces under section 2011 of that
title.
(4) The annual reports are replete with statistics
and dollar figures and generally lacking in substance.
(5) Congress does not receive annual reports with
respect to other authorities of the Secretary of
Defense, such as that relating to Latin American
cooperation under section 1050 of title 10, United
States Code.
(6) Testimony before Congress (including in
particular the testimony of the commander of the United
States Southern Command and the commander of the United
States Atlantic Command) has emphasized the conduct of
a large number of complementary programs under the
leadership and supervision of those two commanders to
foster appropriate military roles in democratic host
nations and to assist countries in developing forces
properly trained to address their security needs,
including needs regarding illegal immigration,
insurgencies, smuggling of illegal arms, munitions, and
explosives across borders, and drug trafficking.
(7) Most of the programs referred to in paragraph (6)
provide excellent and often unique training and
experience to the United States forces involved.
(8) Military-to-military contact programs in the
Western Hemisphere provide another tool to encourage a
democratic orientation of the defense establishments
and military forces of countries in the region.
(9) There is a need for the Secretary of Defense to
conduct a comprehensive review of the several
authorities in title 10, United States Code, for the
Secretary of Defense to engage in cooperative regional
security programs with other countries in the Western
Hemisphere in order to determine whether the
authorities continue to be appropriate and necessary,
particularly in the light of the changed circumstances
in the region.
(10) There is a need for the Secretary of Defense to
conduct a comprehensive review of various programs
carried out pursuant to such authorities to ensure that
such programs are designed to meet the needs of the
host nations involved and the regional strategic and
foreign policy objectives of the United States,
including promotion of sustainable development,
effective control of the military by elected civilian
authorities, reliable regional security accords, and
the appropriate role for militaries in democratic
societies.
(11) There is a need for the Secretary of Defense to
assess the strengths and weaknesses of the various
regional security organizations, defense forums, and
defense education institutions in the Western
Hemisphere in order to identify any improvements needed
to harmonize the defense policies of the United States
and those of friendly nations of the region.

security of the nations of the region.
(3) The various regional security cooperative
programs carried out by the Department of Defense in
the region in 1994, including training and education
programs in the host nations and in the United States
and defense contacts set forth on a country-by-country
basis, the statutory authority, if any, for such
programs, and the strategic objectives served.
(4) The various regional security organizations,
defense forums, and defense education institutions that
the United States maintains or in which the United
States participates.
(5) The contribution that such programs, defense
contacts, organizations, forums, and institutions make

security and national development, United States
strategic objectives, and United States foreign policy
objectives as described in paragraph (10) of subsection
(a).

United States commitment to maintaining the qualitative
superiority of the Israeli Defense Force over any
combination of adversaries.
(2) Congress continues to recognize the many benefits
to the United States from its strategic relationship
with Israel, including enhancing regional stability and
technical cooperation.
(3) Despite the momentous peace process in which
Israel and its neighbors are productively engaged,
Israel continues to face difficult threats to its
national security that are compounded by the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and
ballistic missiles.
(4) Congress is supportive of the objective of the
President to enhance United States-Israel military and
technical cooperation, particularly in the areas of
missile defense and counter-proliferation.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the President should ensure that any conventional
defense system or technology offered for release to any
NATO or other major non-NATO ally should concurrently
be available for purchase by Israel unless such action
would contravene United States national interests; and
(2) the President should make available to Israel,
within existing technology transfer laws, regulations,
and policies, advanced United States technology
necessary for continued progress in cooperative United
States-Israel research and development of theater
missile defenses.
SEC. 1322. READINESS OF MILITARY FORCES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Under existing security arrangements between the
United States and the Republic of Korea, responsibility
for the defense of the territory of the Republic of
Korea is allocated so that the Republic of Korea has
primary responsibility for the ground defense of its
territory and the United States has primary
responsibility for air and sea defense of the Korean
peninsula and for reinforcement.
(2) The Force Improvement Program of the Republic of
Korea has not fully addressed critical shortfalls in
its ground force capability which continue to exist
even though the Republic of Korea spends approximately
$12,000,000,000 annually on defense while the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea spends
approximately $4,000,000,000 annually on defense. The
Republic of Korea has directed substantial defense
resources to procuring submarines, destroyers, advanced
aircraft, and other military systems that are marginal
to its primary ground defense responsibility.
(3) The defense acquisition decisions of the Republic
of Korea have had the effect of not allowing the
Republic of Korea to attain self-sufficiency in its
ground defense responsibility. As a result, there
exists an undue burden on the United States for the
ground defense of the Korean peninsula.
(4) The lack of intelligence capability to forecast
the military intentions of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea presents major problems for the
combined United States-Republic of Korea defense of
South Korea.
(5) A short-warning attack by the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea would cause major losses to the
combined United States-Republic of Korea ground force.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the President should urge the Republic of Korea to continue to
improve its military ground forces with emphasis on
counterartillery capabilities, defense against ballistic
missiles and weapons of mass destruction, combined United
States-Republic of Korea logistics capabilities, combined
United States-Republic of Korea medical support, and combined
United States-Republic of Korea capabilities for tactical
intelligence and indications and warning of a North Korean
attack.
(c) Report.--Not later than January 15, 1995, the Secretary
of Defense shall submit to Congress a report, in classified
form, on--
(1) the readiness of the military forces of the
Republic of Korea to defeat an attack by the military
forces of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea;
and
(2) the adequacy of the defense acquisition strategy
of the Republic of Korea to meet its primary ground
defense mission.
SEC. 1323. MILITARY PLANNING FOR THE SIZE AND STRUCTURE OF A FORCE
REQUIRED FOR A MAJOR REGIONAL CONTINGENCY ON THE
KOREAN PENINSULA.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Secretary of Defense conducted the Bottom-Up
Review during 1993 to establish the size and structure
for the Armed Forces for the Post-Cold-War era.
(2) The report on the Bottom-Up Review cites the need
for the Armed Forces to be large enough to prevail in
two major regional conflicts ``nearly simultaneously''.
(3) The report on the Bottom-Up Review gives special
consideration to a scenario that hypothesizes that the
two ``nearly simultaneous'' conflicts would occur in
Korea and the Persian Gulf.
(4) The United States sent 7 Army divisions, the
equivalent of 10 Air Force tactical fighter wings, 70
heavy bombers, 6 Navy aircraft carrier battle groups,
and 5 Marine Corps brigades to the Persian Gulf to
fight the war against Iraq.
(5) The report on the Bottom-Up Review asserts that
the forces needed to fight two conflicts similar to
that with Iraq can be drawn from a total military force
of between 15 and 16 Army divisions, 20 Air Force
tactical fighter wings, up to 184 heavy bombers, 11
active Navy aircraft carriers (along with one reserve/
training carrier), and the equivalent of 12 Marine
Corps brigades.
(6) The report on the Bottom-Up Review recognizes
that approximately 100,000 members of the Armed Forces
will be stationed in Europe.
(7) The report on the Bottom-Up Review recognizes
that sizeable numbers of United States forces could be
involved in peace enforcement and intervention
operations at any one time.
(8) The report on the Bottom-Up Review makes no
specific recommendation as to the number of forces to
be held in reserve to provide a rotation base either to
relieve troops in the event one or both hypothetical
conflicts result in lengthy deployments or to replace
combat losses.
(9) Military planners calculate that 430,000 or more
United States military personnel may be needed to win a
war with North Korea begun by an invasion of South
Korea by North Korea.
(10) In a worst case scenario, the size of the force
military planners may request to help defend South
Korea could exceed the levels that are consistent with
the recommendations of the report on the Bottom-Up
Review if the existing and future force requirements
for a presence in Europe, possible peace enforcement
operations, and an adequate rotation base, as well as a
second regional conflict, must be fulfilled
simultaneously.
(11) The Bottom-Up Review was conducted for the
purpose of force-sizing and was not meant to constrain
operational planning.
(b) Sense of Congress Concerning BUR.--It is the sense of
Congress that--
(1) the force structure identified in the report on
the Bottom-Up Review should not be used to limit the
size or structure of the force that United States
military commanders may request in preparation for a
major regional contingency on the Korean peninsula; and
(2) the conclusions of the Bottom-Up Review should be
continuously examined in light of the lessons learned
from preparation for a major regional contingency on
the Korean peninsula and from other military
operations.
(c) Sense of Congress Concerning Situation on Korean
Peninsula.--It is the sense of Congress that the chairmen and
ranking minority members of the Committees on Armed Services
and chairmen and ranking minority members of the Appropriations
Subcommittees on Defense of the Senate and House of
Representatives \12\ should receive regular briefings from the
Secretary of Defense on the situation on the Korean peninsula.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ Sec. 1(a)(1) of Public Law 104-14 (109 Stat. 186) provided
that references to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives shall be treated as referring to the Committee on
National Security of the House of Representatives. The Committee on
National Security subsequently returned to the name ``Committee on
Armed Services''; see sec. 1067 of Public Law 106-65 (113 Stat. 774).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 1324. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING THE NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR
WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Between 1950 and 1953, the United States led a
military coalition that successfully repelled an
invasion of the Republic of Korea by North Korea, at a
cost of more than 54,000 American lives.
(2) The United States and the Republic of Korea
ratified a Mutual Security Treaty in 1954 that commits
the United States to helping the Republic of Korea
defend itself against external aggression.
(3) Approximately 37,000 United States military
personnel are presently stationed in the Republic of
Korea.
(4) The United States and the Republic of Korea have
regularly conducted joint military exercises, including
``Team Spirit'' exercises.
(5) North Korea has built up an armed force nearly
twice the size of that in the Republic of Korea and has
not renounced the use of force, terrorism, and
subversion in its attempts to subdue and subjugate the
Republic of Korea.
(6) Although North Korea signed the Treaty on the
Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 1985, it has
impeded the international inspection of its nuclear
facilities that is required of all signatories of that
Treaty.
(7) North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic
missile programs represent a grave threat to the
security of the Korean peninsula and the entire world.
(8) Efforts in recent years by the United States to
reduce tensions on the Korean peninsula have included--
(A) the withdrawal of all nuclear weapons
from the territory of the Republic of Korea and
a reduction in the number of United States
military personnel stationed there;
(B) the postponement of the 1994 Team Spirit
exercises;
(C) the establishment of direct diplomatic
contacts with the North Korean government; and
(D) the offer of expanded diplomatic and
economic contacts with North Korea.
(9) Weapons-grade plutonium can be extracted from the
fuel rods removed from North Korea's principal reactor
at Yongbyon.
(10) International inspectors were not permitted to
examine and test in a timely manner spent fuel rods
removed from North Korea's principal nuclear reactor at
Yongbyon, as required to ensure compliance with North
Korea's obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty.
(11) Diplomacy concerning the North Korean nuclear
program has clearly reached a crucial stage, the
unsatisfactory resolution of which would place the
international nonproliferation regime in jeopardy and
threaten the peace and security of the Korean
peninsula, the Northeast Asia region, and, by
extension, the rest of the world.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the announced freeze on the North Korean nuclear
program should remain in place until internationally
agreed-upon safeguards of any North Korean civilian
nuclear program can be made fully effective;
(2) the North Korean government should take a further
step toward verified cooperation with the international
nonproliferation regime by--
(A) permitting the unfettered international
inspection and testing of the spent fuel rods
removed from North Korea's nuclear reactor at
the Yongbyon nuclear complex, followed by
adequate international supervision of the
transfer of all spent fuel rods from the
Yongbyon complex and their disposal in another
country; and
(B) accepting a comprehensive inspection
process as required by the Treaty on the Non-
Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons;
(3) a resolution of the inspection controversy at the
Yongbyon complex that allows for anything less than the
full international inspection of facilities in that
complex required by North Korea's obligations under the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty--
(A) would be unsatisfactory; and
(B) should prompt the Government of the
United States to take such action as would
indicate the severity with which the United
States views this provocation against
international norms; and
(4) such action should include (but not necessarily
be limited to)--
(A) the seeking of international sanctions
against North Korea; and
(B) the rescheduling of the Team Spirit
exercises for 1994.
SEC. 1325. REPORT ON SECURITY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES
AND JAPAN.
(a) Report Required.--Not later than March 1, 1995, the

(e) International Policy.--If the Bosnian Serbs do not
accept the Contact Group proposal by the date that is the later
of October 15, 1994, or the end of the 10-day period beginning
on the date of the enactment of this Act, the President (or his
representative) should, not later than 14 days thereafter,

subsection (b) and subject to the availability of
appropriations for this purpose, the President may carry out a
program to issue guarantees during fiscal year 1994 against the
risk of nonpayment arising out of loan financing of the sale of
defense articles and defense services to any member nation of

States), Israel, Australia, Japan, or the Republic of Korea.
The aggregate amount guaranteed under this section in such
fiscal year may not exceed $1,000,000,000.

States regarding conventional arms sales and
nonproliferation goals.

for defense conversion, reinvestment, and transition assistance
programs (as defined in section 1302(c)) may be used to finance
the subsidy cost of loan guarantees issued under this section.
(d) Terms and Conditions.--(1) In issuing guarantees under
the loan guarantee program for medium- and long-term loans for
sales of defense articles or defense services, the President
may not offer terms and conditions more beneficial than would
be provided by the Export-Import Bank of the United States
under similar circumstances in conjunction with the provision
of guarantees for nondefense articles and services.
(2) The issuance of loan guarantees for exports under the

make such arrangements as are necessary with other departments
or agencies to process the applications and otherwise to
implement the loan guarantee program.
(g) Fees Charged and Collected.--A fee shall be charged for
each guarantee issued under the loan guarantee program. All
fees collected in connection with guarantees issued under the
program under this section shall be available to offset the
cost of guarantee obligations under the program. All of the
fees collected under this subsection, together with earnings on
those fees and other income arising from guarantee operations
under the program, shall be held in a financing account
maintained in the Treasury of the United States. All funds in
such account may be invested in obligations of the United
States. Any interest or other receipts derived from such
investments shall be credited to such account and may be used
for the purposes of the program.
(h) National Security Council Review Process.--In addition
to the interagency review process for arms sales to foreign
governments referred to in subsection (d)(2), the National
Security Council shall review each proposed sale for which a
guarantee is proposed to be issued under the loan guarantee
program to determine whether the sale is in accord with United
States security interests, that it contributes to collective
defense burden sharing, and that it is consistent with United
States nonproliferation goals.
(i) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the terms

TITLE XIV--MATTERS RELATING TO ALLIES AND OTHER NATIONS
Subtitle A--Defense Burden Sharing
SEC. 1401. DEFENSE BURDENS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Since fiscal year 1985, the budget of the
Department of Defense has declined by 34 percent in
constant fiscal year 1985 dollars.
(2) During the past few years, the United States
military presence overseas has declined significantly
in the following ways:
(A) Since fiscal year 1986, the number of
United States military personnel permanently
stationed overseas has declined by almost
200,000.
(B) From fiscal year 1989 to fiscal year
1994, spending by the United States to support
the stationing of United States military forces
overseas will have declined by 36 percent.
(C) Since January 1990, the Department of
Defense has announced the closure, reduction,
or transfer to standby status of 840 United
States military facilities overseas, which is
approximately a 50 percent reduction in the
number of such facilities.
(3) The United States military presence overseas will
continue to decline as a result of actions by the
executive branch and as a result of the following
provisions of law:
(A) Section 1302 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993, which
requires a 40 percent reduction by September
30, 1996, in the number of United States
military personnel permanently stationed ashore
in overseas locations.
(B) Section 1303 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993, which
provides that no more than 100,000 United
States military personnel may be permanently
stationed ashore in NATO member countries after
September 30, 1996.
(C) Section 1301 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993, which
reduced the spending proposed by the Department
of Defense for overseas basing activities
during fiscal year 1993 by $500,000,000.
(D) Sections 913 and 915 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990
and 1991, which directed the President to
develop a plan to gradually reduce the United
States military force structure in East Asia.
(4) The East Asia Strategy Initiative, which was
developed in response to sections 913 and 915 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years
1990 and 1991, has resulted in the withdrawal of 12,000
United States military personnel from Japan and the
Republic of Korea since fiscal year 1990.
(5) In response to actions by the executive branch
and the Congress, allied countries in which United
States military personnel are stationed and alliances
in which the United States participates have agreed to
reduce the costs incurred by the United States in
basing military forces overseas in the following ways:
(A) Under the 1991 Special Measures Agreement
between Japan and the United States, Japan will
pay by 1995 almost all yen-denominated costs of
stationing United States military personnel in
Japan.
(B) The Republic of Korea has agreed to pay
by 1995 one-third of the won-based costs
incurred by the United States in stationing
United States military personnel in the
Republic of Korea.
(C) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) has agreed that the NATO Infrastructure
Program will adapt to support post-Cold War
strategy and could pay the annual operation and
maintenance costs of facilities in Europe and
the United States that would support the
reinforcement of Europe by United States
military forces and the participation of United
States military forces in peacekeeping and
conflict prevention operations.
(D) Such allied countries and alliances have
agreed to share more fully the responsibilities
and burdens of providing for mutual security
and stability through steps such as the
following:
(i) The Republic of Korea has assumed
the leadership role regarding ground
combat forces for the defense of the
Republic of Korea.
(ii) NATO has adopted the new mission
of conducting peacekeeping operations
and is, for example, providing land,
sea, and air forces for United Nations
efforts in the former Yugoslavia.
(iii) The countries of western Europe
are contributing substantially to the
development of democracy, stability,
and open market societies in eastern
Europe and the former Soviet Union.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the forward presence of United States military
personnel stationed overseas continues to be important
to United States security interests;
(2) that forward presence facilitates efforts to
pursue United States security interests on a collective
basis rather than pursuing them on a far more costly
unilateral basis or receding into isolationism;
(3) the bilateral and multilateral arrangements and
alliances in which that forward presence plays a part
must be further adapted to the security environment of
the post-Cold War period;
(4) the cost-sharing percentages for the NATO
Infrastructure Program should be reviewed with the aim
of reflecting current economic, political, and military
realities and thus reducing the United States cost-
sharing percentage; and
(5) the amounts obligated to conduct United States
overseas basing activities should decline significantly
in fiscal year 1994 and in future fiscal years as--
(A) the number of United States military
personnel stationed overseas continues to
decline; and
(B) the countries in which United States
military personnel are stationed and the
alliances in which the United States
participates assume an increased share of
United States overseas basing costs.
(c) \10\ Reducing United States Overseas Basing Costs.--(1)
In order to achieve additional savings in overseas basing
costs, the President should--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ Sec. 1304(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law
103-160; 107 Stat. 1824), the President shall seek to have European
member nations of NATO assume an increased share of the nonpersonnel
costs for United States military installations in those nations so that
by September 30, 1996, those nations have assumed 37.5 percent of such
costs.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A) continue with the reductions in United States
military presence overseas as required by sections 1302
and 1303 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1993; and
(B) intensify efforts to negotiate a more favorable
host-nation agreement with each foreign country to
which this paragraph applies under paragraph (3)(A).
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1)(B), a more favorable
host-nation agreement is an agreement under which such foreign
country--
(A) assumes an increased share of the costs of United
States military installations in that country,
including the costs of--
(i) labor, utilities, and services;
(ii) military construction projects and real
property maintenance;
(iii) leasing requirements associated with

country to the Armed Forces of the United States are
provided at minimum cost and without imposition of user

(1)(B) applies with respect to--
(i) each country of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (other than the United States); and
(ii) each other foreign country with which the United
States has a bilateral or multilateral defense
agreement that provides for the assignment of combat
units of the Armed Forces of the United States to
permanent duty in that country or the placement of
combat equipment of the United States in that country.
(B) Paragraph (1) does not apply with respect to--
(i) a foreign country that receives assistance under
section 23 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C.
2763) (relating to the foreign military financing
program) or under the provisions of chapter 4 of part
II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C.
2346 et seq.); or
(ii) a foreign country that has agreed to assume, not
later than September 30, 1996, at least 75 percent of
the nonpersonnel costs of United States military
installations in the country.
(d) Obligational Limitation.--(1) The total amount
appropriated to the Department of Defense for Military
Personnel, for Operation and Maintenance, and for military
construction (including construction and improvement of
military family housing) that is obligated to conduct overseas
basing activities during fiscal year 1994 may not exceed
$16,915,400,000 (such amount being the amount appropriated for
such purposes for fiscal year 1993 reduced by $3,300,000,000),
except to the extent provided by the Secretary of Defense under
paragraph (3).
(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``overseas
basing activities'' means the activities of the Department of
Defense for which funds are provided through appropriations for
Military Personnel, for Operation and Maintenance (including
appropriations for family housing operations), and for military
construction (including construction and improvement of
military family housing) for the payment of costs for
Department of Defense overseas military units and the costs for
all dependents who accompany Department of Defense personnel
outside the United States.
(3) The Secretary of Defense may increase the amount of the
limitation under paragraph (1) by such amount or amounts as the
Secretary determines to be necessary in the national interest,
but not to exceed a total increase of $582,700,000. The
Secretary may not increase the amount of such limitation under
the preceding sentence until the Secretary provides notice to
Congress of the Secretary's intent to authorize such an
increase and a period of 15 days elapses after the day on which
such notice is provided.
(e) Allocations of Savings.--Any amounts appropriated to
the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1994 for the purposes
covered by subsection (d)(1) that are not available to be used
for those purposes by reason of the limitation in that
subsection shall be allocated by the Secretary of Defense for
operation and maintenance and for military construction

(2) The national security interests of the United
States have been well served by the process of
consultation, coordination, and military cooperation in
the NATO framework.
(3) Recent history has witnessed radical changes in
the international security environment, including the
fall of the Berlin Wall, the unification of Germany,
the disbanding of the Warsaw Pact and the
disintegration of the Soviet Union.
(4) The military threats which NATO was established
to deter have greatly diminished with the end of the
Cold War.
(5) The post-Cold War security situation continues to
present a wide array of challenges to United States
national interests, many of which interests the United
States shares with its allies in Europe and Canada.
(6) The international community may prove capable of
deterring many threats to the common peace if it can
respond decisively to aggression.
(7) The United States must share the responsibilities
and the burdens of pursuing international security and
stability with other nations.
(8) Several of the newly democratic nations of
Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union
have expressed interest in seeking membership in NATO.
(9) Many of the security challenges facing the post-
Cold War world would be best handled through coherent
multilateral responses.
(10) The United States should never send its military
forces into combat unless they are provided with the
best opportunity to accomplish their objectives with as
little risk as possible.
(11) Military interventions against antagonistic
armed forces cannot be conducted safely or effectively
on a multilateral basis unless such operations are
jointly planned in advance and are executed by units
which have trained together and are familiar with each
others' operational procedures.
(12) NATO is currently the only organization with the
experience, trained staff, and infrastructure necessary
to support military cooperation with the major military
allies of the United States.
(13) The NATO allies already have volunteered to
consider requests from the United Nations and the
Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe for
assistance in maintaining the peace.
(14) Justification of the relevance of NATO in the
post-Cold War world will depend largely upon the
alliance's ability to adapt its mission, area of
responsibility, and procedures to the new security
environment.
(15) Justification of future United States support
for the alliance and for a United States military
presence in Europe will depend upon NATO's ability to
address those security interests which the United
States shares with its allies in Europe and Canada.
(16) The meeting of the NATO heads of state scheduled
for January 1994, presents an excellent opportunity for
the President to articulate a new, broader security
mission for the alliance in the post-Cold War world,
one which will enable it to address a wider array of
threats to its members' interests and which will help
to share more effectively the burden of international
security requirements.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) old threats to the security of the United States
and its allies in the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization having greatly diminished, and new, more
diverse challenges having arisen (including ethno-
religious conflict in Central and Eastern Europe and
the former Soviet Union and the proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction in regions proximate to
alliance territory), NATO's mission must be redefined
so that it may respond to such challenges to its
members' security even when those challenges emanate
from beyond the geographic boundaries of its members'
territories;
(2) NATO should review its consultative mechanisms in
order to maximize its ability to marshal political,
diplomatic, social, and economic solidarity, buttressed
by credible military capability, and to bring the full
weight and scope of its cooperative efforts to bear in
addressing the new challenges; and
(3) future United States military involvement in, and
contributions to, NATO should be determined in relation
to the alliance's success or failure in adapting itself
to confronting the challenges of the post-Cold War
world.
(c) Report.--Not later than 30 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the President shall transmit a report to
the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Foreign
Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services and
the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives.\12\ The report shall contain recommendations
on the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ Sec. 1(a)(1) of Public Law 104-14 (109 Stat. 186) provided
that references to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives shall be treated as referring to the Committee on
National Security of the House of Representatives. Sec. 1(a)(5) of that
Act provides that references to the Committee on Foreign Affairs shall
be treated as referring to the Committee on International Relations.
The Committee on National Security subsequently returned to the name
``Committee on Armed Services''; see sec. 1067 of Public Law 106-65
(113 Stat. 774).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The manner in which NATO can formulate and
implement a strategy to address the new, more disparate
threats to the security of its members.
(2) The manner in which NATO should continue to adapt
its consultative process, including efforts to extend
that process to the new democracies of Central and
Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, so as to
enhance its political, diplomatic, social, economic,
and military efforts to project stability eastward and
maximize its capabilities in crisis prevention and
crisis management.
(3) The feasibility of having NATO conduct security
operations beyond the geographic boundaries of the
alliance.
(4) The manner in which NATO should restructure its
forces, training and equipment for the new security
environment, including with regard to multinational
peacekeeping activities.
(5) The desirability of expanding the alliance to
include traditionally neutral nations or the new
democratic nations of Central and Eastern Europe and
the former Soviet Union that wish to join NATO.
(6) The proper size and composition of United States
forces to be deployed in Europe to assist in the
implementation of NATO's new mandate and possible
reduction in United States military deployments in
Europe in the event of the alliance's failure to adopt
a new mandate.
(7) The structure and organization of NATO
headquarters, with particular attention to the need to
reinvigorate the NATO Military Committee.
(8) The extent to which NATO liaison teams should be
assigned to the United Nations and the Conference on
Security and Cooperation in Europe so as to facilitate
better coordination among these organizations,
especially in regard to crisis prevention and crisis
management.
(9) The desirability of having additional NATO forces
train in North America in a manner supportive of NATO's
proposed new strategy.
(10) The structure of NATO's military command, with
particular attention to the need to make NATO's Rapid
Reaction Force a credible deterrent to regional
aggression.
(11) The levels of United States, European, and
Canadian defense budgets and their ability to finance
forces consistent with the implementation of NATO's new
mandate.
SEC. 1412. MODIFICATION OF CERTAIN REPORT REQUIREMENTS.
(a)-(b) * * *
(c) Finding and Sense of Congress.--(1) The Congress finds
that the Secretary of Defense did not submit to Congress in a
timely manner the report on allied contributions to the common
defense required under section 1003(c) of the National Defense
Authorization Act, 1985 (Public Law 98-525; 22 U.S.C. 1928
note), to be submitted not later than April 1, 1993.
(2) It is the sense of Congress that the timely submission
of such report to Congress each year is essential to the
deliberation by Congress concerning the annual defense program.
* * * * * * *
SEC. 1422. REPORT ON EFFECT OF INCREASED USE OF DUAL-USE TECHNOLOGIES
ON ABILITY TO CONTROL EXPORTS.
(a) Report Requirement.--Not later than six months after
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense
shall submit to Congress a report assessing what effect the
increased use of dual-use and commercial technologies and items
by the Department of Defense could have on the ability of the
United States to control adequately the export of sensitive
dual-use and military technologies and items to nations to whom
the receipt of such technologies is contrary to United States
national security interests.
(b) Effect on Defense Programs.--The report required by
subsection (a) shall include--
(1) an assessment of the national security
implications of any lowering of licensing controls on
the export of dual-use items and technology, to include
an assessment of the effect such lowering of controls
could have on operational United States defense
programs and capabilities and planned United States
defense programs and capabilities;
(2) a description of the steps the Secretary of
Defense intends to take to ensure that any decontrol of
dual-use items and technology does not place at risk
the technology and defense capability lead that the
United States currently enjoys; and
(3) a description of the steps the Department of
Defense intends to take to mitigate any possible
increase in the proliferation threat resulting from
decontrol of dual-use items and technology.
(c) Consultation.--The report required by subsection (a)
shall be prepared in consultation with the Director of Central
Intelligence.
SEC. 1423. EXTENSION OF LANDMINE EXPORT MORATORIUM.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Anti-personnel landmines, which are designed to
maim and kill people, have been used indiscriminately
in dramatically increasing numbers around the world.
Hundreds of thousands of noncombatant civilians,
including children, have been the primary victims.
Unlike other military weapons, landmines often remain
implanted and undiscovered after conflict has ended,
causing massive suffering to civilian populations.
(2) Tens of millions of landmines have been strewn in
at least 62 countries, often making whole areas
uninhabitable. The Department of State estimates that
there are more than 10,000,000 landmines in
Afghanistan, 9,000,000 in Angola, 4,000,000 in
Cambodia, 3,000,000 in Iraqi Kurdistan, and 2,000,000
each in Somalia, Mozambique, and the former Yugoslavia.
Hundreds of thousands of landmines were used in
conflicts in Central America in the 1980s.
(3) Advanced technologies are being used to
manufacture sophisticated mines which can be scattered
remotely at a rate of 1,000 per hour. These mines,
which are being produced by many industrialized
countries, were found in Iraqi arsenals after the
Persian Gulf War.
(4) At least 300 types of anti-personnel landmines
have been manufactured by at least 44 countries,
including the United States. However, the United States
is not a major exporter of landmines. During the 10
years from 1983 through 1992, the United States
approved 10 licenses for the commercial export of anti-
personnel landmines with a total value of $980,000 and
the sale under the Foreign Military Sales program of
108,852 anti-personnel landmines.
(5) The United States signed, but has not ratified,
the 1980 Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on
the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be
Deemed To Be Excessively Injurious or To Have
Indiscriminate Effects. Protocol II of the Convention,
otherwise known as the Landmine Protocol, prohibits the
indiscriminate use of landmines.
(6) When it signed the 1980 Convention, the United
States stated: ``We believe that the Convention
represents a positive step forward in efforts to
minimize injury or damage to the civilian population in
time of armed conflict. Our signature of the Convention
reflects the general willingness of the United States
to adopt practical and reasonable provisions concerning
the conduct of military operations, for the purpose of
protecting noncombatants.''.
(7) The United States also indicated that it had
supported procedures to enforce compliance, which were
omitted from the Convention's final draft. The United
States stated: ``The United States strongly supported
proposals by other countries during the Conference to
include special procedures for dealing with compliance
matters, and reserves the right to propose at a later
date additional procedures and remedies, should this
prove necessary, to deal with such problems.''.
(8) The lack of compliance procedures and other
weaknesses have significantly undermined the
effectiveness of the Landmine Protocol. Since it
entered into force on December 2, 1983, the number of
civilians maimed and killed by anti-personnel landmines
has multiplied.
(9) Since October 23, 1992, when a one-year
moratorium on sales, transfers, and exports by the
United States of anti-personnel landmines was enacted
into law (in section 1365 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-
484; 22 U.S.C. 2778 note)), the European Parliament has
issued a resolution calling for a five year moratorium
on sales, transfers, and exports of anti-personnel
landmines and the Government of France has announced
that it has ceased all sales, transfers, and exports of
anti-personnel landmines.
(10) On December 2, 1993, 10 years will have elapsed
since the 1980 Convention entered into force,
triggering the right of any party to request a United
Nations conference to review the Convention. Amendments
to the Landmine Protocol may be considered at that
time. A formal request has been made to the United
Nations Secretary General for a review conference. With
necessary preparations and consultations among
governments, a review conference is not expected to be
convened before late 1994 or early 1995.
(11) The United States should continue to set an
example for other countries in such negotiations by
extending the moratorium on sales, transfers, and
exports of anti-personnel landmines for an additional
three years. A moratorium of that duration would extend
the prohibition on the sale, transfer, and export of
anti-personnel landmines a sufficient time to take into
account the results of a United Nations review
conference.
(b) Statement of Policy.--
(1) It is the policy of the United States to seek
verifiable international agreements prohibiting the
sale, transfer or export, and further limiting the
manufacture, possession and use, of anti-personnel
landmines.
(2) It is the sense of the Congress that--
(A) the President should submit the 1980
Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons to
the Senate for ratification; and
(B) the United States should--
(i) participate in a United Nations
conference to review the Landmine
Protocol; and
(ii) actively seek to negotiate under
United Nations auspices a modification
of the Landmine Protocol, or another
international agreement, to prohibit
the sale, transfer, or export of anti-
personnel landmines and to further
limit the manufacture, possession, and
use of anti-personnel landmines.
(c) * * *
(d) Definition.--(1) \13\ For purposes of this section, the
term ``anti-personnel landmine'' means any of the following:

GOVERNMENT OF PERU FOR DEATH AND WOUNDING OF
CERTAIN UNITED STATES SERVICEMEN.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the United States Government has not made
adequate efforts to seek the payment of compensation by
the Government of Peru for the death and injuries to
United States military personnel resulting from the
attack by aircraft of the military forces of Peru on
April 24, 1992, against a United States Air Force C-130
aircraft operating off the coast of Peru; and
(2) in failing to make such efforts adequately, the
United States Government has failed in its obligation
to support the servicemen and their families involved
in the incident and generally to support members of the
Armed Forces carrying out missions on behalf of the
United States.
(b) Semiannual Report.--Not later than December 1 and June
1 of each year, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the
Committees on Armed Services and Foreign Affairs of the House
of Representatives \18\ and the Committees on Armed Services
and Foreign Relations of the Senate a report on the efforts
made by the Government of the United States during the
preceding six-month period to seek the payment of fair and
equitable compensation by the Government of Peru (1) to the
survivors of Master Sergeant Joseph Beard, Jr., United States
Air Force, who was killed in the attack described in subsection

Nations Security Council Resolution 794 of December 3,
1992, to one of internal security and nation building.

assumption of the functions of United States forces by
the United Nations.

Department of Defense in the performance of its mission under
section 124(a) of title 10, United States Code, as lead agency
of the Federal Government for the detection and monitoring of
the transit of illegal drugs into the United States. Such
requirements shall be designed--
(1) to minimize unnecessary redundancy between
counter-drug detection and monitoring systems;
(2) to grant priority to assets and technologies of
the Department of Defense that are already in existence
or that would require little additional development to
be available for use in the performance of such
mission;
(3) to promote commonality and interoperability
between counter-drug detection and monitoring systems
in a cost-effective manner; and
(4) to maximize the potential of using counter-drug
detection and monitoring systems for other defense
missions whenever practicable.
(b) Evaluation of Systems.--The Secretary of Defense shall
identify and evaluate existing and proposed counter-drug
detection and monitoring systems in light of the requirements
established under subsection (a). In carrying out such
evaluation, the Secretary shall--
(1) assess the capabilities, strengths, and
weaknesses of counter-drug detection and monitoring
systems; and
(2) determine the optimal and most cost-effective
combination of use of counter-drug detection and
monitoring systems to carry out activities relating to
the reconnaissance, detection, and monitoring of drug
traffic.
(c) Systems Plan.--Based on the results of the evaluation
under subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense shall prepare a
plan for the development, acquisition, and use of improved
counter-drug detection and monitoring systems by the Armed
Forces. In developing the plan, the Secretary shall also make
every effort to determine which counter-drug detection and
monitoring systems should be eliminated from the counter-drug
program based on the results of such evaluation. The plan shall
include an estimate by the Secretary of the full cost to
implement the plan, including the cost to develop, procure,
operate, and maintain equipment used in counter-drug detection
and monitoring activities performed under the plan and training
and personnel costs associated with such activities.
(d) Report.--Not later than six months after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall
submit to Congress a report on the requirements established
under subsection (a) and the results of the evaluation
conducted under subsection (b). The report shall include the
plan prepared under subsection (c).
(e) Limitation on Obligation of Funds.--(1) Except as
provided in paragraph (2), none of the funds appropriated or
otherwise made available for the Department of Defense for
fiscal year 1993 pursuant to an authorization of appropriations
in this Act may be obligated or expended for the procurement or
upgrading of a counter-drug detection and monitoring system,
for research and development with respect to such a system, or
for the lease or rental of such a system until after the date
on which the Secretary of Defense submits to Congress the
report required under subsection (d).
(2) Paragraph (1) shall not prohibit obligations or
expenditures of funds for--
(A) any procurement, upgrading, research and
development, or lease of a counter-drug detection and
monitoring system that is necessary to carry out the
evaluation required under subsection (b); or
(B) the operation and maintenance of counter-drug
detection and monitoring systems used by the Department
of Defense as of the date of the enactment of this Act.
(f) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term
``counter-drug detection and monitoring systems'' means land-,
air-, and sea-based detection and monitoring systems suitable
for use by the Department of Defense in the performance of its
mission--
(1) under section 124(a) of title 10, United States
Code, as lead agency of the Federal Government for the
detection and monitoring of the aerial and maritime
transit of illegal drugs into the United States; and
(2) to provide support to law enforcement agencies in
the detection, monitoring, and communication of the
movement of traffic at, near, and outside the
geographic boundaries of the United States.

TITLE XIII--MATTERS RELATING TO ALLIES AND OTHER NATIONS
Subtitle A--Burdensharing
SEC. 1301. OVERSEAS BASING ACTIVITIES.
(a) Funding Reductions.--(1)(A) The total amount
appropriated to the Department of Defense for operation and
maintenance and for military construction (including NATO
Infrastructure) that is obligated to conduct overseas basing
activities during fiscal year 1993 may not exceed the amount
equal to the baseline for fiscal year 1993 reduced by
$500,000,000.
(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the baseline for
fiscal year 1993 is the sum of the amounts of the overseas
funding estimates specified for such year for Operation and
Maintenance; Family Housing, Operations; Family Housing,
Construction; and Military Construction (including NATO
Infrastructure) set forth on page 8 of the report of the
Department of Defense dated January 1992, and entitled
``Amended FY 1992/FY 1993 Biennial Budget Estimates for Defense
Overseas Funding and Dependent Overseas Funding''.
(2) It is the sense of Congress that the amounts obligated
to conduct overseas basing activities should decline
significantly in fiscal years 1994, 1995, and 1996 as--
(A) the number of United States military personnel
stationed overseas is reduced in conformance with the
provisions of section 1302 and the amendment made by
section 1303; and
(B) the countries to which subsection (e)(1) and
(e)(2) apply assume an increased share of the costs of
United States military installations in those
countries.
(b) Definition.--In this section, the term ``overseas
basing activities'' means the activities of the Department of
Defense for which funds are provided through appropriations for
operation and maintenance, including appropriations for family
housing operations, and for military construction (including
family housing construction and NATO Infrastructure) for the
payment of costs for Department of Defense overseas military
units and the costs for all dependents who accompany Department
of Defense personnel outside the United States.
(c) Offsets.--Reductions for purposes of subsection (a) in
obligations of appropriated funds for overseas basing
activities may be offset by either or a combination of the
following:
(1) Increase in the level of host-nation support due
to agreements reached under subsection (e) or
otherwise.
(2) Accelerated withdrawal of United States forces or
equipment under the provisions of section 1302 and the
amendment made by section 1303.
(d) Allocations of Savings.--The savings realized as a
result of the reductions for purposes of subsection (a) will be
allocated for operation and maintenance and military
construction activities of the Department of Defense at
military installations and facilities located inside the United
States.
(e) \13\ Defense Burdensharing Agreements for Increased
Host Nation Support.--(1) In order to achieve additional
savings in fiscal year 1994 and in future fiscal years, the
President should enter into a revised host-nation agreement
with each foreign country described in paragraph (3)(A).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ Sec. 1304(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1995 (Public Law 103-337; 108 Stat. 2890) provided the
following:
``(a) Goal for Allied Contributions.--In continuing efforts to
enter into revised host-nation agreements as described in section
1301(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993
(Public Law 102-484; 106 Stat. 2545) and section 1401(c) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law
103-160; 107 Stat. 1824), the President shall seek to have European
member nations of NATO assume an increased share of the nonpersonnel
costs for United States military installations in those nations so that
by September 30, 1996, those nations have assumed 37.5 percent of such
costs.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), a revised host-nation
agreement is an agreement under which such foreign country, on
or before September 30, 1994--
(A) assumes an increased share of the costs of United
States military installations in that country,
including the costs of--
(i) labor, utilities, and services;
(ii) military construction projects and real
property maintenance;
(iii) leasing requirements associated with
United States military presence; and
(iv) actions necessary to meet local
environmental standards;
(B) relieves the Armed Forces of the United States of
all tax liability that, with respect to forces located
in such country, is incurred by the Armed Forces under
the laws of that country and the laws of the community
where those forces are located; and
(C) ensures that goods and services furnished in that
country to the Armed Forces of the United States are
provided at minimum cost and without imposition of user
fees.
(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), paragraph
(1) applies with respect to--
(i) each country of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (other than the United States); and
(ii) each other foreign country with which the United
States has a bilateral or multilateral defense
agreement that provides for the assignment of combat
units of the Armed Forces of the United States to
permanent duty in that country or the placement of
combat equipment of the United States in that country.
(B) Paragraph (1) does not apply with respect to--
(i) a foreign country that receives assistance under
section 23 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C.
2673) (relating to the foreign military financing
program) or under the provisions of chapter 4 of part
II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C.
2346 et seq.); or
(ii) a foreign country that has agreed to assume, not
later than September 30, 1996, at least 75 percent of
the non-personnel costs of United States military
installations in that country.

SEC. 1314. REPORT ON POSSIBLE REVISIONS TO THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) when the North Atlantic Treaty was signed in
1949, the clear military threat to the security of
Western Europe was the Soviet Union and its allies in
Eastern Europe;
(2) since 1949 it has been clearly understood by the
people of the Western World that the primary mission of
NATO was to deter an attack from the Soviet Bloc;
(3) the dramatic changes in Europe since the fall of
the Berlin Wall in 1989, and the subsequent dissolution
of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union have
fundamentally changed the security situation in Europe;
(4) one of the consequences of the breakdown of 40
years of Communist rule in Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union has been ethnic conflict throughout
the region, particularly in the Balkans and the
Republics of the former Soviet Union;
(5) those fundamental changes in the security threats
facing NATO member nations have caused confusion
concerning the mission of NATO in the post-cold war
world and the role of NATO military forces outside of
the NATO Theater, particularly in the former Soviet
Union;
(6) if NATO is to continue to be relevant to the
security interests of Western Europe and North America
through the 1990's and beyond, the alliance's mission
must be recrafted in order to enable it to address
common transatlantic security concerns, including those
beyond NATO's geographic boundaries; and
(7) a fundamental review of the North Atlantic Treaty
is necessary, in light of the new security situation in
Europe.
(b) Report.--Not later than April 1, 1993, the President
shall submit to Congress a report on the North Atlantic Treaty
of 1949. The report shall include--
(1) a detailed analysis of the forseeable threats to
the security of NATO member nations;
(2) a determination whether the North Atlantic Treaty
of 1949 should be revised to meet the future challenges
to peace and security; and
(3) the extent to which the NATO charter permits the
use of NATO forces for peacekeeping purposes, given the
steadily increased use of military forces for such
purposes, and the range of missions that should be
considered for such peacekeeping to protect the
interests of member nations
Subtitle C--Matters Relating to the Former Soviet Union and Eastern
Europe
SEC. 1321.\26\ NUCLEAR WEAPONS REDUCTION.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\26\ 22 U.S.C. 5901 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) On February 1, 1992, the President of the United
States and the President of the Russian Federation
agreed in a Joint Statement that ``Russia and the
United States do not regard each other as potential
adversaries'' and stated further that, ``We will work
to remove any remnants of cold war hostility, including
taking steps to reduce our strategic arsenals''.
(2) In the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear
Weapons, in exchange for the non-nuclear-weapon states
agreeing not to seek a nuclear weapons capability nor
to assist other non-nuclear-weapon states in doing so,
the United States agreed to seek the complete
elimination of all nuclear weapons worldwide, as
declared in the preamble to the Treaty, which states
that it is a goal of the parties to the Treaty to
``facilitate the cessation of the manufacture of
nuclear weapons, the liquidation of all their existing
stockpiles, and the elimination from national arsenals
of nuclear weapons and the means of their delivery'' as
well as in Article VI of the Treaty, which states that
``each of the parties to the Treaty undertakes to
pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures
relating to the cessation of the nuclear arms race at
an early date and to nuclear disarmament''.
(3) Carrying out a policy of seeking further
significant and continuous reductions in the nuclear
arsenals of all countries, besides reducing the
likelihood of the proliferation of nuclear weapons and
increasing the likelihood of a successful extension and
possible strengthening of the Treaty on the Non-
Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 1995, when the
Treaty is scheduled for review and possible extension,
has additional benefits to the national security of the
United States, including--
(A) a reduced risk of accidental enablement
and launch of a nuclear weapon, and
(B) a defense cost savings which could be
reallocated for deficit reduction or other
important national needs.
(4) The Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) Treaty
and the agreement by the President of the United States
and the President of the Russian Federation on June 17,
1992, to reduce the strategic nuclear arsenals of each
country to a level between 3,000 and 3,500 weapons are
commendable intermediate stages in the process of
achieving the policy goals described in paragraphs (1)
and (2).
(5) The current international era of cooperation
provides greater opportunities for achieving worldwide
reduction and control of nuclear weapons and material
than any time since the emergence of nuclear weapons 50
years ago.
(6) It is in the security interests of both the
United States and the world community for the President
and the Congress to begin the process of reducing the
number of nuclear weapons in every country through
multilateral agreements and other appropriate means.
(7) In a 1991 study, a committee of the National
Academy of Sciences concluded that: ``The appropriate
new levels of nuclear weapons cannot be specified at
this time, but it seems reasonable to the committee
that U.S. strategic forces could in time be reduced to
1,000-2,000 nuclear warheads, provided that such a
multilateral agreement included appropriate levels and
verification measures for the other nations that
possess nuclear weapons. This step would require
successful implementation of our proposed post-START
U.S.-Soviet reductions, related confidence-building
measures in all the countries involved, and
multilateral security cooperation in areas such as
conventional force deployments and planning.''.
(b) United States Policy.--It shall be the goal of the
United States--
(1) to encourage and facilitate the denuclearization
of Ukraine, Byelarus, and Kazakhstan, as agreed upon in
the Lisbon ministerial meeting of May 23, 1992;
(2) to rapidly complete and submit for ratification
by the United States the treaty incorporating the
agreement of June 17, 1992, between the United States
and the Russian Federation to reduce the number of
strategic nuclear weapons in each country's arsenal to
a level between 3,000 and 3,500;
(3) to facilitate the ability of the Russian
Federation, Ukraine, Byelarus, and Kazakhstan to
implement agreed mutual reductions under the START
Treaty, and under the Joint Understanding of June 16-
17, 1992 between the United States and the Russian
Federation, on an accelerated timetable, so that all
such reductions can be completed by the year 2000;
(4) to build on the agreement reached in the Joint
Understanding of June 16-17, 1992, by entering into
multilateral negotiations with the Russian Federation,
the United Kingdom, France, and the People's Republic
of China, and, at an appropriate point in that process,
enter into negotiations with other nuclear armed states
in order to reach subsequent stage-by-stage agreements
to achieve further reductions in the number of nuclear
weapons in all countries;
(5) to continue and extend cooperative discussions
with the appropriate authorities of the former Soviet
military on means to maintain and improve secure
command and control over nuclear forces;
(6) in consultation with other member countries of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other
allies, to initiate discussions to bring tactical
nuclear weapons into the arms control process; and
(7) to ensure that the United States assistance to
securely transport and store, and ultimately dismantle,
former Soviet nuclear weapons and missiles for such
weapons is being properly and effectively utilized.
(c) Annual Report.--By February 1 of each year, the
President shall submit to the Congress a report on--
(1) the actions that the United States has taken, and
the actions the United States plans to take during the
next 12 months, to achieve each of the goals set forth
in paragraphs (1) through (6) of subsection (b); and
(2) the actions that have been taken by the Russian
Federation, by other former Soviet republics, and by
other countries to achieve those goals.
Each such report shall be submitted in unclassified form, with
a classified appendix if necessary.

SEC. 1342.\30\ SUPPORT FOR PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\30\ 10 U.S.C. 403 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) International peacekeeping activities contribute
to the national interests of the United States in
maintaining global stability and order.
(2) International peacekeeping activities take many
forms and include observer missions, ceasefire
monitoring, human rights monitoring, refugee and
humanitarian assistance, monitoring and conducting
elections, monitoring of police in the demobilization
of former combatants, and reforming judicial and other
civil and administrative systems of government.
(3) International peacekeeping activities
traditionally involve the presence of military troops,
police forces, and, in recent years, civilian experts
in transportation, logistics, medicine, electoral
systems, human rights, land tenure, other economic and
social issues, and other areas of expertise.
(4) International peacekeeping activities serve both
the foreign policy interests and defense policy
interests of the United States.
(5) The normal budget process of authorizing and
appropriating funds a year in advance and reprogramming
such funds is insufficient to satisfy the need for
funds for peacekeeping efforts arising from an
unanticipated crisis.
(6) Greater flexibility is needed to ensure the
timely availability of funding to provide for
peacekeeping activities.
(b) Authorized Support for Fiscal Year 1993.--(1) Subject
to paragraph (2), the Secretary may provide assistance for
international peacekeeping activities during fiscal year 1993
in an amount not to exceed $300,000,000 in accordance with
section 403 of title 10, United States Code, as added by
subsection (c). Notwithstanding subsection (b) of that section,
the assistance so provided may be derived from funds
appropriated to the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1993
for operation and maintenance or from balances in working
capital accounts.
(2) No amount may be obligated pursuant to paragraph (1)
unless the expenditure of such amount has been determined by
the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to be
counted against the defense category of the discretionary
spending limits for fiscal year 1993 (as defined in section
601(a)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974) for purposes
of part C of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control
Act of 1985.
(c) \31\ Authorization.--(1) Chapter 20 of title 10, United
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new

SEC. 1365.\35\ LANDMINE EXPORT MORATORIUM.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\35\ 22 U.S.C. 2778 note. Effective November 25, 1992, the
Department of State suspended ``all licenses, approvals, sales or
transfers of landmines specifically designed for anti-personnel use,
regardless of method of delivery'', and furthermore, ``all existing
authorizations for the sale, export, or transfer of such defense
articles are revoked until further notice'' pursuant to this section
and to secs. 2, 38, and 42 of the AECA [Department of State Public
Notice 1727; November 25, 1992; 57 F.R. 55614].
See also sec. 1423 of Public Law 103-160.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Anti-personnel landmines, which are specifically
designed to maim and kill people, have been used
indiscriminately in dramatically increasing numbers,
primarily in insurgencies in poor developing countries.
Noncombatant civilians, including tens of thousands of
children, have been the primary victims.
(2) Unlike other military weapons, landmines often
remain implanted and undiscovered after conflict has
ended, causing untold suffering to civilian
populations. In Afghanistan, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam,
and Angola, tens of millions of unexploded landmines
have rendered whole areas uninhabitable. In
Afghanistan, an estimated hundreds of thousands of
people have been maimed and killed by landmines during
the 14-year civil war. In Cambodia, more than 20,000
civilians have lost limbs and another 60 are being
maimed each month from landmines.
(3) Over 35 countries are known to manufacture
landmines, including the United States. However, the
United States is not a major exporter of landmines.
During the past ten years the Department of State has
approved ten licenses for the commercial export of
anti-personnel landmines valued at $980,000, and during
the past five years the Department of Defense has
approved the sale of 13,156 anti-personnel landmines

(4) The United States signed, but has not ratified,
the 1981 Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on
the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be
Deemed To Be Excessively Injurious or To Have
Indiscriminate Effects. The Convention prohibits the
indiscriminate use of landmines.
(5) When it signed the Convention, the United States
stated: ``We believe that the Convention represents a
positive step forward in efforts to minimize injury or
damage to the civilian population in time of armed
conflict. Our signature of the Convention reflects the
general willingness of the United States to adopt
practical and reasonable provisions concerning the
conduct of military operations, for the purpose of
protecting noncombatants.''.
(6) The President should submit the Convention to the
Senate for its advice and consent to ratification, and
the President should actively negotiate under United
Nations auspices or other auspices an international
agreement, or a modification of the Convention, to
prohibit the sale, transfer or export of anti-personnel
landmines. Such an agreement or modification would be
an appropriate response to the end of the Cold War and
the promotion of arms control agreements to reduce the
indiscriminate killing and maiming of civilians.
(7) The United States should set an example for other
countries in such negotiations, by implementing a one-
year moratorium on the sale, transfer or export of
anti-personnel landmines.
(b) Statement of Policy.--(1) It shall be the policy of the
United States to seek verifiable international agreements
prohibiting the sale, transfer, or export, and further limiting
the use, production, possession, and deployment of anti-
personnel landmines.
(2) It is the sense of the Congress that the President
should actively seek to negotiate under United Nations auspices
or other auspices an international agreement, or a modification
of the Convention, to prohibit the sale, transfer, or export of
anti-personnel landmines.

TITLE XVII--CUBAN DEMOCRACY ACT OF 1992
SEC. 1701.\79\ SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``Cuban Democracy Act of
1992''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\79\ 22 U.S.C. 6001 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 1702.\80\ FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\80\ 22 U.S.C. 6001.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The government of Fidel Castro has demonstrated
consistent disregard for internationally accepted
standards of human rights and for democratic values. It
restricts the Cuban people's exercise of freedom of
speech, press, assembly, and other rights recognized by
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by
the General Assembly of the United Nations on December
10, 1948. It has refused to admit into Cuba the
representative of the United Nations Human Rights
Commission appointed to investigate human rights
violations on the island.
(2) The Cuban people have demonstrated their yearning
for freedom and their increasing opposition to the
Castro government by risking their lives in organizing
independent, democratic activities on the island and by
undertaking hazardous flights for freedom to the United
States and other countries.
(3) The Castro government maintains a military-
dominated economy that has decreased the well-being of
the Cuban people in order to enable the government to
engage in military interventions and subversive
activities throughout the world and, especially, in the
Western Hemisphere. These have included involvement in
narcotics trafficking and support for the FMLN
guerrillas in El Salvador.
(4) There is no sign that the Castro regime is
prepared to make any significant concessions to
democracy or to undertake any form of democratic
opening. Efforts to suppress dissent through
intimidation, imprisonment, and exile have accelerated
since the political changes that have occurred in the
former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
(5) Events in the former Soviet Union and Eastern
Europe have dramatically reduced Cuba's external
support and threaten Cuba's food and oil supplies.
(6) The fall of communism in the former Soviet Union
and Eastern Europe, the now universal recognition in
Latin America and the Caribbean that Cuba provides a
failed model of government and development, and the
evident inability of Cuba's economy to survive current
trends, provide the United States and the international
democratic community with an unprecedented opportunity
to promote a peaceful transition to democracy in Cuba.
(7) However, Castro's intransigence increases the
likelihood that there could be a collapse of the Cuban
economy, social upheaval, or widespread suffering. The
recently concluded Cuban Communist Party Congress has
underscored Castro's unwillingness to respond
positively to increasing pressures for reform either
from within the party or without.
(8) The United States cooperated with its European
and other allies to assist the difficult transitions
from Communist regimes in Eastern Europe. Therefore, it
is appropriate for those allies to cooperate with
United States policy to promote a peaceful transition
in Cuba.
SEC. 1703.\81\ STATEMENT OF POLICY.
It should be the policy of the United States--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\81\ 22 U.S.C. 6002.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) to seek a peaceful transition to democracy and a
resumption of economic growth in Cuba through the
careful application of sanctions directed at the Castro
government and support for the Cuban people;
(2) to seek the cooperation of other democratic
countries in this policy;
(3) to make clear to other countries that, in
determining its relations with them, the United States
will take into account their willingness to cooperate
in such a policy;
(4) to seek the speedy termination of any remaining
military or technical assistance, subsidies, or other
forms of assistance to the Government of Cuba from any
of the independent states of the former Soviet Union;
(5) to continue vigorously to oppose the human rights
violations of the Castro regime;
(6) to maintain sanctions on the Castro regime so
long as it continues to refuse to move toward
democratization and greater respect for human rights;
(7) to be prepared to reduce the sanctions in
carefully calibrated ways in response to positive
developments in Cuba;
(8) to encourage free and fair elections to determine
Cuba's political future;
(9) to request the speedy termination of any military
or technical assistance, subsidies, or other forms of
assistance to the Government of Cuba from the
government of any other country; and
(10) to initiate immediately the development of a
comprehensive United States policy toward Cuba in a
post-Castro era.
SEC. 1704.\82\,\83\ INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION.
(a) Cuban Trading Partners.--The President should encourage
the governments of countries that conduct trade with Cuba to
restrict their trade and credit relations with Cuba in a manner
consistent with the purposes of this title.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\82\ 22 U.S.C. 6003. Authority in this section was delegated to the
Secretary of State, pursuant to sec. 2 of Executive Order 12854 (58
F.R. 36587; July 4, 1993).
\83\ Sec. 204 of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity
(LIBERTAD) Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-114; 110 Stat. 810) authorized
the President to take steps to suspend the economic embargo of Cuba
upon submitting a determination to the appropriate congressional
committees that a transition government is in power in Cuba. The
section, furthermore, repealed the following sections of law upon the
issuance of a Presidential determination that a democratically elected
government is in power in Cuba:
(1) section 620(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C.
2370(a));
(2) section 620(f) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C.
2370(f)) with respect to the ``Republic of Cuba'';
(3) sections 1704, 1705(d), and 1706 of the Cuban Democracy Act of
1992 (22 U.S.C. 6003, 6004(d), and 6005); and
(4) section 902(c) of the Food Security Act of 1985.
Congress, until such a transition to democracy in Cuba is attained,
reaffirmed the intent of sec. 1704, and other sections, of the Cuban
Democracy Act. See Public Law 104-114.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Sanctions Against Countries Assisting Cuba.--
(1) Sanctions.--The President may apply the following

(B) Such country shall not be eligible, under
any program, for forgiveness or reduction of
debt owed to the United States Government.
(2) Definition of assistance.--For purposes of
paragraph (1), the term ``assistance to Cuba''--
(A) means assistance to or for the benefit of
the Government of Cuba that is provided by
grant, concessional sale, guaranty, or
insurance, or by any other means on terms more
favorable than that generally available in the
applicable market, whether in the form of a
loan, lease, credit, or otherwise, and such
term includes subsidies for exports to Cuba and
favorable tariff treatment of articles that are
the growth, product, or manufacture of Cuba;
\84\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\84\ Sec. 102(f) of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity

subpara. (C); inserted a new subpara. (B); and added the flush sentence
at the end of para. (2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(B) \84\ includes an exchange, reduction, or
forgiveness of Cuban debt owed to a foreign
country in return for a grant of an equity
interest in a property, investment, or
operation of the Government of Cuba (including
the government of any political subdivision of
Cuba, and any agency or instrumentality of the
Government of Cuba) or of a Cuban national; and
(C) \84\ does not include--
(i) donations of food to
nongovernmental organizations or
individuals in Cuba, or
(ii) exports of medicines or medical
supplies, instruments, or equipment
that would be permitted under section

TITLE XXXII--NATIONAL SAFETY
* * * * * * *
SEC. 3202. NUCLEAR SAFETY IN EASTERN EUROPE AND THE FORMER SOVIET
UNION.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident on April
26, 1986, has resulted in $283 to $352 billion worth of
damage, with more than 4,000,000 people still living on
land contaminated with radiation;
(2) there are 16 Chernobyl-type RBMK reactors now
operating in Russia, Ukraine, and Lithuania, all of
which have faulty designs, poor construction, and
dangerously lax and outdated operating procedures;
(3) there are dozens of Soviet-designed reactors now
operating in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union
with poor construction and lax and outdated operating
procedures;
(4) a serious nuclear reactor accident in one of the
newly freed states of Eastern Europe and the former
Soviet Union would seriously exacerbate these states'
difficult progress towards economic recovery and could
lead to political instability;
(5) retrofitting the RBMK reactors with modern
Western safety equipment will result in only marginal
safety improvements at great expense; and
(6) alternative power sources, such as natural gas
turbines, and modern energy efficiency measures and
technologies could displace the need for much of the
power which these reactors provide.
(b) United States Policy.--It is the sense of Congress that
the President should undertake bilateral and multilateral
initiatives, including trade initiatives, to--
(1) assist in bringing on line enough replacement
power and modern energy efficiency measures and
technologies in the states of Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union so that the RBMK reactors may be
shut down as soon as possible and placed in stable
condition to prevent radiological contamination;
(2) assist the states of Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union in upgrading their other nuclear
reactors to Western standards of safety and in ensuring
that all of their nuclear reactors receive routine
maintenance and repairs;
(3) encourage and provide technical assistance to
Russia and Ukraine to enact domestic legislation
governing nuclear reactor safety;
(4) negotiate formal agreements for nuclear
cooperation with Russia and Ukraine;
(5) identify nuclear safety research as a principal
focus of the soon-to-be created nuclear science centers
in Ukraine and Russia; and
(6) make greater resources available to the
International Atomic Energy Agency to promote programs
of nuclear safety in Eastern Europe and the former
Soviet Union.
(c) \99\ Reporting Requirement.--Not later than 60 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, the President shall
submit to Congress a report with a systematic assessment of the
nuclear reactor safety situation in Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union, with a description of specific bilateral
and multilateral initiatives the Administration is taking and
plans to take to address these nuclear safety issues.

(1) The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and
the dissolution of the Soviet Union have fundamentally
changed the military threat that formed the basis for
the national security policy of the United States since
the end of World War II.
(2) The change in the military threat presents a
unique opportunity to restructure and reduce the
military requirements of the United States.
(3) As the United States proceeds with the post-Cold
War defense build down, the Nation must recognize and
address the impact of reduced defense spending on the
military personnel, civilian employees, and defense
industry workers who have been the foundation of the
national defense policies of the United States.
(4) The defense build down will have a significant
impact on communities as procurements are reduced and
military installations are closed and realigned.
(5) Despite the changes in the military threat, the
United States must maintain the capability to respond
to regional conflicts that threaten the national
interests of the United States, and to reconstitute
forces in the event of an extended conflict.
(6) The skills and capabilities of military
personnel, civilian employees of the Department of
Defense, defense industry workers, and defense
industries represent an invaluable national resource
that can contribute to the economic growth of the
United States and to the long-term vitality of the
national technology and industrial base.
(7) Prompt and vigorous implementation of defense
conversion, reinvestment, and transition assistance
programs is essential to ensure that the defense build
down is structured in a manner that--
(A) enhances the long-term ability of the
United States to maintain a strong and vibrant
national technology and industrial base; and
(B) promotes economic growth.

continuing and strengthening the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO) to preserve world peace and
security and to aid in the transition to a Europe that
is whole and free;

allies to adapt NATO to better respond to the changing
world situation, which includes--
(A) the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact as a
military and political alliance;
(B) the reduction in the threat of attack on
western Europe posed by the Soviet Union;
(C) the reduction in the amount of financial
resources that the United States is able to
devote to defense spending; and
(D) the improved ability of other member
nations of NATO to carry a greater share of the
common NATO defense burden;
(3) barring unforeseen developments which result in a
substantial increase in the threat to the national
security of the United States, the Armed Forces should
plan for an end strength level of members of the Armed
Forces assigned to permanent duty ashore in European
member nations of NATO that should not exceed
approximately 100,000 members by the end of fiscal year
1995; and
(4) a principal function of the members so assigned
should be to facilitate the rapid and large-scale
reception of reinforcing United States troops in the
event of a military necessity.

SEC. 1043. STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK AND DISTRIBUTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES FOR
THE SECURITY OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The alliance between the United States and its
allies in East Asia contributes greatly to the security
of that region.
(2) It is in the national interest of the United
States to maintain a forward military and naval
presence in East Asia.
(3) The pace of economic, political, and social
advances in many of the East Asian countries,
particularly Japan and South Korea, continues to
accelerate.
(4) As a result of such advances the capacity of
those countries to contribute to the responsibilities
for their own defense has increased dramatically.
(5) While the level of defense burdensharing by Japan
and South Korea has increased, continued acceleration
of the rate of transfer of that burden is desirable.
(6) The United States remains committed to the
security of its friends and allies in Asia and the
Pacific Rim region.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States should regularly review the
missions, force structure, and locations of its
military forces in Asia and the Pacific, including
Hawaii;
(2) the United States should also regularly review
its basing structure in the Pacific and Asia, with
special attention to developments in the Philippines,
Japan, and South Korea, and determine basing, forward
deployments, maritime and land base prepositioning,
amphibious forces, and strategic lift to meet evolving
strategic needs;
(3) the United States should regularly review the
threats and potential threats to regional peace, the
United States, and its friends and allies;
(4) the United States should continue to assess the
feasibility and desirability of the ongoing partial,
gradual reduction of military forces in Asia and the
Pacific;
(5) in view of the advances referred to in subsection
(a)(3), Japan and South Korea should continue to assume
increased responsibility for their own security and the
security of the region;
(6) Japan and South Korea should continue to offset
the direct costs incurred by the United States in
deploying military forces for the defense of those
countries including costs related to the presence of
United States military forces in those countries; and
(7) Japan should continue to contribute to
improvements to global stability by contributing to
countries in regions of importance to world stability
through the Official Development Assistance Program of
Japan.
(c) Report Required.--Not later than April 1, 1992, the
President shall submit to the congressional defense committees,
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the
Committee on Foreign Affairs \11\ of the House of
Representatives a report on the strategic posture and military
force structure of the United States in Asia and the Pacific,
including the forces in Hawaii. The President shall include in
such report a strategic plan relating to the continued United
States presence in that region.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ Sec. 1(a)(5) of Public Law 104-14 (109 Stat. 186) provided
that references to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives shall be treated as referring to the Committee on
International Relations of the House of Representatives.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(d) Content of Report.--The report required by subsection (c)
shall specifically include the following matters:
(1) An assessment of the trends in the regional
military balance involving potential threats to the
United States and its allies and friends in Asia and
the Pacific, with special attention to--
(A) the implications of recent developments
in the Soviet Union and the People's Republic
of China for United States and allied security
planning in Asia and the Pacific; and
(B) regional conflicts, such as the struggle
in Cambodia.
(2) An assessment of the trends in acquiring and
deploying nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and
long range missiles and other delivery systems and
other destabilizing transfers of arms and technology.
(3) An assessment of the extent to which a
requirement continues to exist for a regional security
role for the United States in East Asia.
(4) An identification of any changes--
(A) in the missions, force structure, and
locations of United States military forces in
Asia and the Pacific that could strengthen the
capabilities of such forces and lower the costs
of maintaining such forces; and
(B) in contingency and reserve armed forces
in the United States and other areas.
(5) A review of the United States basing structure in
the Pacific and Asia with special attention to
developments in the Philippines, Japan, and South
Korea, including a review of the implications for
basing, forward deployments, maritime, and land base
prepositioning, amphibious forces, and strategic lift
to meet evolving strategic needs.
(6) A discussion of the strategic implications of the
departure of United States forces from Clark Air Force
Base and of the remaining facilities in the
Philippines.
(7) A discussion of the need for expanding the United
States access to facilities in Singapore and other
states in East Asia that are friendly to the United
States.
(8) A discussion of the recent trends in the
contributions to burdensharing and the common defense
being made by the friends and allies of the United
States in Asia and the ways in which increased defense
responsibilities and costs presently borne by the
United States can be transferred to the friends and
allies of the United States in Asia and the Pacific.
(9) An assessment of the feasibility of relocating
United States military personnel and facilities in
Japan and South Korea to reduce friction between such
personnel and the people of those countries.

(3) The National Unification Board of South Korea
estimates the gross national product (GNP) of North
Korea to have been $21,000,000,000 in 1989, while the
Bank of Korea estimates that the size of the Republic
of Korea's economy in that year was $210,000,000,000, a
factor of 10 larger. At its current growth rate, as
estimated by the Economic Planning Board of the
Republic of Korea, the annual expansion of the economy
of the Republic of Korea is nearly equivalent in size
to the entire North Korean economy.
(4) The Republic of Korea continues to face a
substantial military threat from North Korea that
requires a vigorous response on both military and
diplomatic levels.
(5) The Republic of Korea has decided to increase its
level of host nation support, although such support
still falls short of the actual cost involved and short
of the relative level provided by the Government of
Japan.
(6) While recognizing that the Republic of Korea has
consistently increased its defense budget in real terms
by an average of about 6 percent annually for the past
five years, to a current level of 4.2 percent of gross
national product, the Republic of Korea devotes a
smaller share of its economy to defense than does the
United States, at 4.9 percent of gross national
product.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) the Republic of Korea remains an important ally
of the United States, with the two countries sharing
important political, economic, and security interests;
(2) commensurate with the security situation on the
Korean peninsula and the size and vitality of the
economy of the Republic of Korea--
(A) the Department of Defense should consider
whether future reductions of United States
military forces from the Republic of Korea
beyond those now planned to be completed by the
end of 1992 can be made in a way that does not
undermine the credibility or effectiveness of
those forces against an attack by North Korea;
and
(B) the Republic of Korea should undertake
greater efforts to meet its security
requirements, particularly in the area of force
modernization; and
(3) the Government of the Republic of Korea should
increase the level of host nation support it provides
to United States forces in the area so that its
relative level more closely approximates that of Japan.
(c) Presidential Report.--(1) The President shall transmit to
Congress, either separately or as part of another relevant
report, a report on the overall security situation on the
Korean peninsula, the implications of relevant political and
economic developments in the area for the security situation
there, and United States policy for the area.
(2) Issues covered in the report shall include--
(A) a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the
military balance on the Korean peninsula;
(B) a description of the material requirements of the
armed forces of the Republic of Korea;
(C) a description of United States military personnel
requirements;
(D) a description of the state of United States-
Republic of Korea relations, the state of China-
Republic of Korea relations, and the state of Soviet-
Republic of Korea relations; and
(E) a description of prospects for change in North
Korea.
(3) The report shall be transmitted not later than June 30,
1992, and shall be transmitted in both classified and
unclassified form.

located outside the United States through agreements under
which the host countries assume a greater share of these costs.

Part F--Congressional Findings, Policies, and Commendations
SEC. 1071. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO THE CONTRIBUTIONS TO OPERATION
DESERT STORM MADE BY THE DEFENSE-RELATED INDUSTRIES
OF THE UNITED STATES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States and its coalition allies
achieved a great victory in Operation Desert Storm,
carried out in the Persian Gulf region in the winter of
1991.
(2) The outstanding success of Operation Desert Storm
was due in great measure to the ready availability of
weapons and weapon systems exhibiting remarkable
accuracy through advanced technological design.
(3) These weapons and weapon systems were designed
and produced by the defense-related industries of the
United States.
(4) The battle plan for Operation Desert Storm
formulated by the commander of the United States
Central Command relied on the availability and
performance of these weapons and weapon systems.
(5) The successful use of these weapons and weapon
systems in accordance with that plan resulted in
astonishingly small numbers of killed and wounded among
the Armed Forces of the United States and of allied
coalition forces in general.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress--
(1) that the defense-related industries of the United
States, and the men and women who work in those
industries, deserve the gratitude and appreciation of
the Congress and of the United States for the design
and production of the technologically-advanced weapons
and weapon systems that helped to ensure victory in
Operation Desert Storm;
(2) that future decisions relating to the national
security of the United States must take into account
the need to maintain strong defense-related industries
in the United States; and
(3) that it is vitally important to the United States
that the defense-related industries of the United
States be capable of responding to the national
security requirements of the United States.
* * * * * * *
SEC. 1074. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO THE CHEMICAL DECONTAMINATION
TRAINING FACILITY, FORT MCCLELLAN, ALABAMA.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The possibility of use of chemical weapons by
Iraqi forces was the most significant military threat
confronted by members of the Armed Forces of the United
States who served in the Persian Gulf region in
connection with Operation Desert Storm.
(2) There continues to be extreme concern with
respect to the ever more rapid proliferation of
chemical weapons and agents, especially among nations
in the Middle East.
(3) This proliferation makes it increasingly
necessary that members of the Armed Forces have the
capability of self-defense against chemical weapons and
agents.
(4) Combat training with live chemical agents
directly promotes this capability by reducing the life-
threatening fear and self doubt that some soldiers
experience on a battlefield contaminated by chemical
weapons or agents.
(5) Such training further promotes this capability by
enhancing the professional credibility of the members
of the Armed Forces who train others with respect to
chemical weapons and agents.
(6) The Chemical Decontamination Training Facility
(CDTF) located at Fort McClellan, Alabama, is the only
facility for conducting combat training with live
chemical agents in the Western Hemisphere.
(7) The operations of the Chemical Decontamination
Training Facility depend upon the support activities of
the Army Chemical School which is also located at Fort
McClellan, Alabama.
(8) The Defense Base Closure and Realignment
Commission has reported that the closure or diminished
operation of the Chemical Decontamination Training
Facility could have an adverse impact on the capability
of the Armed Forces to defend against the use of
chemical weapons and agents and, thus, on the national
security of the United States.
(9) The capability of members of the Armed Forces to
defend against chemical weapons and agents depends upon
maintaining a fully operating facility for conducting
combat training with live chemical agents located in
the Western Hemisphere including maintaining associated
support activities.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
necessity for the Armed Forces to have an effective live
chemical agent training facility requires that the Chemical
Decontamination Training Facility and the Army Chemical School
be continued in operation at Fort McClellan, Alabama, unless a
new facility for conducting combat training with live chemical
agents is constructed.
SEC. 1075. POLICY REGARDING CONTRACTING WITH FOREIGN FIRMS THAT
PARTICIPATE IN THE SECONDARY ARAB BOYCOTT.
(a) Restatement of Policy Regarding Trade Boycotts.--As
stated in section 3(5)(A) of the Export Administration Act of
1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 2402(5)(A)), it is the policy of the
United States to oppose restrictive trade practices or boycotts
fostered or imposed by foreign countries against other
countries friendly to the United States or against any other
United States person.
(b) Sense of Congress.--Consistent with the policy referred
to in subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) no Department of Defense prime contract should be
awarded to a foreign person unless that person
certifies to the Secretary of Defense that it does not
comply with the secondary Arab boycott of Israel; and
(2) the Secretary of Defense should consider
developing a procurement policy to implement the policy
expressed in paragraph (1).

(a) Finding.--The Congress finds that the Government of Iraq
continues to violate United Nations Security Council Resolution
687, which required Iraq to submit within 15 days of its
adoption on April 3, 1991, a declaration of the locations,
amounts, and types of all weapons of mass destruction and to
``unconditionally accept the destruction, removal or rendering
harmless'' of chemical weapons, biological weapons, and
missiles with a range greater than 150 kilometers and the
removal of nuclear weapons-usable material.

that--
(1) Iraq's noncompliance with United Nations Security
Council Resolution 687 constitutes a continuing threat
to the peace, security, and stability of the Persian
Gulf region;
(2) the President should consult closely with the
partners of the United States in the Desert Storm
coalition and with the members of the United Nations
Security Council in order to present a united front of
opposition to Iraq's continuing noncompliance with
Security Council Resolution 687; and
(3) the Congress supports the use of all necessary

Resolution 687 as being consistent with the
Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq
Resolution (Public Law 102-1).

Declaration of Human Rights and United Nations Security Council
Resolution 688 which demanded that Iraq ``ensure that the human
and political rights of all Iraqi citizens are respected''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) Iraq's noncompliance with United Nations Security

SEC. 357. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE TRANSFER TO EUROPE OF
MILITARY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD THEN BE DESTROYED OR
REMOVED AS A RESULT OF AN ARMS CONTROL AGREEMENT
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Secretary of Defense has announced
commencement of substantial withdrawals of United
States military personnel from Europe in anticipation
of concluding an agreement that will reduce
conventional forces in Europe and in recognition of the
reduced threat in Europe.
(2) The anticipated arms control agreement on
conventional forces in Europe will require destruction
or demilitarization of certain military equipment in
excess of limits specified in the agreement.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) funds appropriated for the Department of Defense
should not be used to transfer to Europe any military
equipment that would have to be destroyed as a result
of the anticipated arms control agreement on
conventional forces in Europe; and
(2) the Department of Defense should make every
effort to avoid transferring to Europe any military
equipment that would, after only a short period of time
in Europe, have to be returned to the United States as
a result of further withdrawals of United States
military personnel from Europe.

affected by the changing need for power projection
capability in low-intensity and medium-intensity
conflicts.
(C) An assessment of how such requirements would be
affected by the loss of United States military bases,
and the loss of access to other military bases, in such
overseas locations as the Philippines.
(D) An assessment of how the reduced reliance
expected to be placed by the Armed Forces on NATO and
other allied shipping and military bases for employment
of the Armed Forces unilaterally in contingent actions
affects the requirements for airlift, sealift,
amphibious lift, and prepositioned war material.
(E) An assessment of whether increased dependence
should be placed upon sealift capabilities in view of
the factors assessed pursuant to subparagraphs (A)
through (D) and the potential benefits of sealift
vessels which might be developed that would be faster
than the sealift vessels currently available from
commercial sources.
(F) A discussion of initiatives that can be
undertaken to reduce the time required to move forces
and material from home bases to combat areas, including
measures that can be undertaken to reduce (i) the time
necessary for loading and unloading personnel and
equipment at airports and seaports, (ii) the time
necessary for moving ground forces to airports and
seaports, and (iii) the delivery times from points of
debarkation to final destinations.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 1009. ANDEAN ANTI-DRUG EFFORTS
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The support for democratic process and civilian
governance in the Andean countries of Peru, Bolivia,
and Colombia, the first two of which have only recently
emerged from periods of military rule, is a necessary
precondition for long-term stability in those countries
and for the successful fight against the production and
traffic of illegal drugs in those countries.
(2) The separation of military and civilian law
enforcement functions has historically been a critical
element in democracies around the world, including the
United States.
(3) There is a need to determine whether the current
policies of the United States unduly emphasize
assistance to military entities of those countries
rather than civilian law enforcement entities in
carrying out anti-drug efforts in those countries and
whether such policies might tend to undermine the dual
long-term policy goals of the United States of stopping
the traffic of drugs at their sources and the
preservation of civilian control over the newly
established democracies of the Andean countries.
(4) There is a need to assess the impact that United
States assistance in the Andean anti-drug effort will
have on reducing drug activity and supporting
democratic processes in the Andean countries.
(b) Report Required.--(1) Not later than 90 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State and
the Secretary of Defense shall, in consultation with the
Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, jointly
submit to Congress a report detailing current United States
policies with respect to the Andean countries in general and
with respect to the counter-drug enforcement activities and
associated training programs of the United States in such
countries in particular.
(2) Such report shall include an analysis of the impact that
the involvement of the military forces of the Andean countries
in counter-drug enforcement activities has on the democratic
institutions of those countries and how the civilian
institutions of those countries might be strengthened in order
to assure the successful pursuit of a counter-drug strategy.

SEC. 1010. CREATION OF A MULTILATERAL COUNTER-DRUG STRIKE FORCE
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Congress has in the past sought approval for a
multilateral strike force dedicated to the war on
drugs.
(2) The proposal by the Prime Minister of Jamaica for
the creation of a multilateral, international counter-
drug strike force is the first operative proposal for
the use of a multilateral force against the drug
cartels in Latin America by a government leader in the
Western Hemisphere and should be given serious
consideration.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of Congress
that--
(1) the Prime Minister of Jamaica is to be commended
for his proposal;
(2) the President should call for international
negotiations for the purpose of discussing the
establishment of an international strike force to
counter international drug traffickers; and
(3) the United States should work through the United
Nations and other multilateral organizations to
determine the feasibility of establishing and using a
force and should assist in the establishment of such a
force if the President determines the proposal to be
feasible.

Part C--Guard and Reserve Initiative
* * * * * * *
SEC. 1432. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF
THE READY RESERVE
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) as a result of the recent dramatic changes in
Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, the active
military forces of the United States will be
significantly reduced; and
(2) as a consequence of that reduction it will be
necessary to rely increasingly, in the event of a
threat to the national security, on the immediate
availability of trained personnel of the Ready Reserve
of the reserve components of the Armed Forces.
(b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the finding in subsection
(a), it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Secretary of Defense should take appropriate
action to ensure that members of the Ready Reserve are
made fully aware of their continuing obligation for
immediate service in the active military forces in the
event of a war or national emergency;
(2) the Secretary should use the annual muster
provided for under section 687 of title 10, United
States Code, as a means of alerting such personnel to
that obligation; and
(3) the Secretary should ensure that adequate funds
are made available, out of funds appropriated for the
reserve components, to carry out the annual muster of
such personnel.
* * * * * * *
SEC. 1434. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING UNITED STATES ARMORED FORCES
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Dramatic political and military changes have
occurred recently in Eastern Europe.
(2) The Warsaw Pact is no longer a credible military
threat to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO).
(3) It appears that the heavy armored armies of both
NATO and the Warsaw Pact will be substantially reduced
as the result of arms control agreements or unilateral
actions.
(4) There is a continued need for armor forces and
many countries possess large inventories of modern
tanks.
(5) The Soviet Union will still produce 1,400 new
tanks in 1990.
(6) With significantly increased warning times of
enemy attack, greater reliance will be placed on United
States reserve component forces for armored heavy force
reinforcement missions.
(7) There is a need to enhance the capabilities of
armored forces of the reserve components to assume
increased responsibilities for armored heavy force
reinforcement missions.
(b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings in
subsection (a), it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the Army should take timely and necessary steps
to enhance the capabilities of armored forces of the
reserve components;
(2) the United States Army Armor Center should
continue as the center for training, education,
doctrine, and combat development for the armored forces
of the United States, both active and reserve; and
(3) the United States Army Armor Center should ensure
that the armored forces of the reserve components are
adequately prepared to accept the increased role in
armored heavy force reinforcement missions that will be
assigned to them.

redesignated as 10 U.S.C. 2531.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Japan has developed highly sophisticated research
and manufacturing capabilities.
(2) Those capabilities have produced technologies
that can be usefully applied to the development and
manufacture of both commercial products and defense
equipment.
(3) The availability of those technologies to the
United States would greatly enhance the development and
manufacture of defense equipment for the Armed Forces
of the United States.
(4) Since the exchange of notes between the United
States and Japan on the transfer of Japanese military
technologies in 1983, the level and quality of
technological cooperation between the two countries
have been unsatisfactory.
(5) Effective cooperation in technology research and
development between the United States and Japan would
enhance the security of both countries.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States and Japan should strengthen
their cooperation with regard to technology that would
contribute to the security of both countries;
(2) technological cooperation between the two
countries should be based upon an equitable and mutual
sharing of the costs and benefits of that cooperation;
and
(3) the Secretary of Defense should improve the
staffing, funding, and organization of those activities
within the Department of Defense responsible for
implementing and overseeing technological cooperation
with Japan.
(c) Cooperation on Research and Development.--In light of the
expressions in subsections (a) and (b), Congress urges and
requests the President and directs the Secretary of Defense to
pursue vigorously opportunities for the United States and Japan
to cooperate in the development of technologies that benefit
the security of both countries, particularly those technologies
that have both commercial and military applications, commonly
referred to as ``dual-use'' technologies.
(d) Cooperative Research and Development Projects.--(1)
Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), of the funds authorized to
be appropriated pursuant to section 201 for basic research,
exploratory development, and advanced technology, $10,000,000
shall be available for research and development projects
conducted jointly by the United States and Japan, pursuant to a
memorandum of understanding or other formal agreement, for the
purpose of--
(A) developing new conventional defense equipment; or
(B) modifying existing defense equipment to meet
United States defense requirements.
(2)(A) Funds made available for research and development
projects under paragraph (1) may be obligated and expended for
a particular research project only if the Secretary of Defense
determines that--
(i) the particular project will improve, through the
application of emerging technology, the conventional
defense capabilities of the United States and Japan;
and
(ii) the applicable memorandum of understanding or
other formal agreement provides for the sharing of
costs on an equitable basis.
(B) The Secretary may delegate the performance of the
responsibility to make determinations under subparagraph (A)
only to the Deputy Secretary of Defense or the Under Secretary
of Defense for Acquisition.
(3) None of the funds made available for research and
development projects under paragraph (1) may be used for
research and development under the Strategic Defense
Initiative.
(e) Staffing.--The Secretary of Defense is urged to increase
the number of personnel assigned to the Office of the Deputy
Under Secretary of Defense (International Programs) for the
specific purpose of providing oversight of the joint research
and development projects of the United States and Japan for
which funds are made available under subsection (d).

(1) to cease production by the Soviet Union of
plutonium;
(2) to maintain the cessation in production by the
Soviet Union of highly-enriched uranium for weapons
that was announced on April 7, 1989.
(b) Technical Aspects of Fissile Material Monitoring and
Nuclear Warhead Dismantlement.--Should the President determine
that future international agreements should provide for
dismantlement of nuclear warheads and a ban on further
production of fissile materials for weapons, then the Congress
urges the President to seek to establish with the Soviet Union
a joint technical working group to examine and demonstrate
cooperative technical monitoring and inspection arrangements
that could be applied to the design and verification of these
potential provisions.
(c) Report on Verification Techniques.--(1) The President
shall prepare a comprehensive technical report on the
verification matters described in paragraph (2).
(2) The report shall describe the on-site monitoring
techniques, inspection arrangements, and national technical
means that could be used by the United States to verify the
actions of other nations with respect to the following:
(A) Dismantlement of nuclear warheads in the event
that a future agreement between the United States and
the Soviet Union should provide for such dismantlement
to be carried out in a mutually verifiable manner.

SEC. 4303. EXPANSION OF EXPORT FINANCING FOR GOODS AND SERVICES
PRODUCED BY FIRMS AND EMPLOYEES FORMERLY ENGAGED IN
DEFENSE PRODUCTION
(a) Export-Import Bank.--
(1) Sense of congress on plan for expansion.--It is
the sense of Congress that the United States businesses
undergoing transition from defense production to
nondefense production will need assistance in seizing
export markets overseas. Therefore, in order to provide
financial support for such businesses, as well as
meeting other normal demands on its resources, the
annual direct lending authority of the Export-Import
Bank of the United States should be increased by at
least 150 percent from the fiscal year 1990 level over
the five-year period beginning October 1, 1990.
(2) Report of feasibility.--Before September 30,
1990, the President, acting with the assistance of the
Committee and after consulting the Board of Directors
of the Export-Import Bank of the United States and
other experts in government and the private sector,
shall transmit to the Congress a report assessing the
feasibility and desirability of a program for
increasing the amount of direct loan authority in the
manner described in paragraph (1) and the factors
considered in making such assessment.
(3) Transition to nondefense production required to
be considered.--In determining whether to provide
financial support for an export transaction, the
Export-Import Bank of the United States shall take into
account, to the extent feasible and in accordance with
applicable standards and procedures established by the

of a foreign country, the President should endeavor to
include in the agreement a provision that would require
the government of that country to pay severance pay to
foreign nationals in that country whose employment is
terminated as a result of the closing of, or the
curtailment of activities at, a United States military
facility in that country, if the closing or curtailment

TITLE IX--MATTERS RELATING TO NATO MEMBER NATIONS AND OTHER ALLIES
Part A--Conventional Force Reductions in Europe
SEC. 901. FRAMEWORK FOR DETERMINING CONVENTIONAL FORCE REQUIREMENTS IN
A CHANGING THREAT ENVIRONMENT
(a) Evaluation of Effect of Warsaw Pact Reductions and of
Possible CFE Agreement.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit
to the congressional defense committees a report providing the
Secretary's evaluation of the effect upon requirements of the
United States for conventional forces and for military spending
that could be anticipated under the following assumptions:
(1) The full implementation of the unilateral force
reductions in, and subsequent reorganization of, forces
of the Soviet Union described by the President of the
Soviet Union on December 7, 1988, and the unilateral
force reductions subsequently announced by the other
members of the Warsaw Pact.
(2) Entry into force of a conventional arms control
agreement establishing rough parity in conventional
forces in Europe between forces of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and the Warsaw Pact at equal levels
(at approximately 85 to 90 percent of NATO's current
inventory) of tanks, artillery, armored troop carriers,
combat helicopters, and land-based combat aircraft.
(b) Matters To Be Included in Evaluation.--In carrying out
the evaluation required by subsection (a) of the unilateral
force reductions referred to in paragraph (1) of that
subsection and the potential effect of an agreement referred to
in paragraph (2) of that subsection, the Secretary shall
include in the evaluation (at a minimum) the following (stated
for both the near-term and mid-term):
(1) An assessment of the threat to NATO under the
assumptions specified in each of paragraphs (1) and (2)
of subsection (a).
(2) The effect on the defense strategy of the United
States for meeting its NATO commitments in the changing
threat environment, including the effect on the ability
of NATO to defend against an attack by the Warsaw Pact
(A) on short warning, or (B) during a crisis in Europe.
(3) The effect on--
(A) the mix of active and reserve forces of
the United States;
(B) the ratio of (i) conventional forces of
the United States deployed in the European
theater, to (ii) conventional forces of the
United States deployed in the continental
United States; and
(C) air and sea lift requirements.
(3) The effect on operational military concepts of
the United States and NATO (such as Follow-on Forces
Attack (FOFA), AirLand Battle, Maritime Strategy, and
Rapid Reinforcement) that were initially developed to
counter the large advantage of the Warsaw Pact in
conventional land forces in the European theater.
(4) The effect on equipment requirements of the
United States for meeting its commitments to NATO in
the 1990s.
(c) Time for Submission.--The report required by subsection
(a) shall be submitted concurrently with the submission to
Congress of the President's budget for fiscal year 1991
pursuant to section 1105 of title 31, United States Code. The
report shall be submitted in both classified and unclassified
form.
SEC. 902. IMPLICATIONS OF MUTUAL REDUCTIONS IN CONVENTIONAL FORCES IN
EUROPE BY NATO AND WARSAW PACT MEMBER NATIONS
(a) Commendation of President's Conventional Arms Reduction
Initiative.--Congress commends and supports the President's
conventional arms control initiative announced in Brussels on
May 29, 1989, in which the President proposed, and the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) agreed, that NATO expand
its negotiating position at the negotiations on reductions in
conventional forces in Europe (begun in Vienna on March 9,
1989, and known as the ``CFE Talks'') to include--
(1) substantial reductions by each side to equal
ceilings of helicopters and combat aircraft; and
(2) a reduction to a common ceiling of United States
military personnel stationed in Western Europe and
Soviet military personnel stationed in Eastern Europe.
(b) Presidential Report.--(1) Not later than six months after
the date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall
submit to Congress an unclassified report, with classified
annexes as necessary, on the foreign policy and military
implications to NATO and to the Warsaw Pact of significant
reductions of conventional forces by NATO and Warsaw Pact
countries to a ceiling which is the same for both sides.
(2) The report shall address possible force reduction
scenarios for a second round of CFE negotiations and shall be
based upon two different assumptions with regard to the level
of reductions in personnel and equipment to be made. Under the
first assumption, personnel and equipment would be reduced to a
level 25 percent below current NATO levels. Under the second
assumption, personnel and equipment would be reduced to a level
50 percent below current NATO levels.
(3) The report shall include the following:
(A) A comprehensive net assessment of the current
balance between NATO forces and Warsaw Pact forces and
of the overall trends in that balance, including an
assessment of the trends in active and reserve forces
and in total equipment holdings in stationed and
indigenous forces.
(B) A description of the likely alternative force
postures that could be adopted by member nations of
both alliances (particularly by the United States and
the Soviet Union) under each of the assumptions
analyzed, together with a description of the possible
effects of restructuring of both NATO and Warsaw Pact
forces in Europe for defensive purposes.
(C) A statement of the costs (or savings) to the
United States, over at least a seven-year period,
estimated to be associated with each force posture
described under subparagraph (B), together with an
analysis of how those costs (or savings) were
determined.
(D) An analysis of the implications for NATO
strategy, security, and military policy under each of
the reduction levels referred to in paragraph (2),
including a net assessment of the resulting balance
between NATO forces and Warsaw Pact forces.
(E) An assessment of the effects under each of the
reduction levels referred to in paragraph (2)
(including the alternative force postures under each
assumption) upon the stability of the conventional
balance of forces in Europe.
(F) An assessment of the ability of NATO to defend
Europe under each of the assumed reduction levels in
the event of an attack by the Warsaw Pact (i) on short
warning, or (ii) during a crisis in Europe.
(G) An assessment of the effects under each of the
reduction levels referred to in paragraph (2) on--
(i) the short-range nuclear force
requirements of NATO;
(ii) the requirements of the United States
for POMCUS and war-reserve stocks;
(iii) the requirements of NATO for airlift
and sealift based in the United States and for
reinforcing units from the United States; and
(iv) the ability of the United States to meet
global military requirements.
SEC. 903. REPORT ON VERIFICATION MEASURES FOR POSSIBLE CONVENTIONAL
ARMS CONTROL AGREEMENT

Part B--Burden Sharing
SEC. 911.\9\ REDUCTION IN AUTHORIZED END STRENGTH FOR THE NUMBER OF
MILITARY PERSONNEL IN EUROPE * * * [REPEALED--1990]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ Sec. 911, which would have amended sec. 1002(c)(1) of the
Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (22 U.S.C. 1928 note), to
reduce end strength of U.S. military personnel in Europe, effective
September 30, 1991, was repealed by sec. 406(c) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991 (Public Law 101-510; 104 Stat.
1546). Sec. 406 of that Act amended sec. 1002(c)(1) of the Department
of Defense Authorization Act, 1985, and provided further criteria for
military force reduction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 912.\10\ ACTIVE-DUTY FORCES IN EUROPE OF MEMBER NATIONS OF NATO
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ 22 U.S.C. 1928 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO), at the initiative of the
President, have presented to the nations of the Warsaw
Pact a comprehensive proposal concerning reductions in
conventional forces in Europe for consideration in the
negotiations on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe
(CFE).
(2) An agreement based on that proposal would
significantly enhance security and stability in Europe
and the cause of peace worldwide.
(3) Irrespective of developments in the CFE
negotiations, several member nations of NATO are
considering making significant unilateral reductions
over the next several years in the number of their
active-duty forces in Europe.
(4) Such unilateral reductions in active-duty forces
before an agreement on CFE enters into force would--
(A) undercut efforts by NATO to improve its
conventional defense posture in Europe,
increase reliance by NATO on the threat of the
early use of nuclear weapons to deter
aggression, and undermine the NATO arms control
negotiating posture in the CFE negotiations;
and
(B) exacerbate longstanding burdensharing
tensions among member nations of NATO.
(5) Despite shifts in relative economic power from
the United States to some of the major allies of the
United States, the costs of mutual defense continue to
be borne disproportionately by the United States.
(6) Adjustments in burdensharing are long overdue.
(b) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
(1) The term ``active-duty forces in Europe'' means
those active-duty military personnel assigned to
permanent duty ashore in European member nations of
NATO, except that such term does not include INF-
related forces.
(2) The term ``INF-related forces'' means those
active-duty military personnel assigned to permanent
duty ashore in European member nations of NATO who are
to be demobilized or withdrawn from Europe as a result
of the elimination of the intermediate-range nuclear
weapons of the United States pursuant to the Treaty
between the United States of America and the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics on the Elimination of their
Intermediate-range and Shorter-range Missiles, signed
on December 8, 1987 (commonly referred to as the ``INF
Treaty'').
(3) The term ``U.S. end-strength level in Europe''
means the actual number of active-duty forces in Europe
of the Armed Forces of the United States at the end of
a fiscal year.
(4) The term ``allied forces end-strength level in
Europe'' means the actual number of active-duty forces
in Europe of the armed forces of member nations of NATO
(other than the United States) in Europe at the end of
a fiscal year.
(c) Baseline Report on Active-Duty Forces in Europe.--(1) Not
later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act,
the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional
defense committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs \11\ of the House
of Representatives a report on the number of the active-duty
forces in Europe of the member nations of NATO. The report
shall identify the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ Sec. 1(a)(5) of Public Law 104-14 (109 Stat. 186) provided
that references to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives shall be treated as referring to the Committee on
International Relations of the House of Representatives.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The U.S. end-strength level in Europe for fiscal
year 1989.
(2) The allied forces end-strength level in Europe
for fiscal year 1989.
(3) The actual number of active-duty forces in Europe
of the armed forces of each member nation of NATO
(other than the United States) at the end of fiscal
year 1989.
(4) The ratio (expressed in terms of a percentage)
of--
(A) the U.S. end-strength level in Europe; to

capable of assuming increased responsibility for its
own security.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, in
view of the changes referred to in subsection (a), Japan
should--

Japan, including costs (other than pay and allowances)
related to the presence of United States military
personnel in Japan; and
(3) make a contribution to the common defense that is
more commensurate with its economic status by taking
the following actions:
(A) Increasing expenditures for its Official
Development Assistance program and its defense
programs so that, by 1992, the level of
spending by Japan on those programs (stated as
a percentage of gross national product) will
approximate the average of the levels of
spending by the member nations of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on official
development assistance and defense programs
(stated as a percentage of their respective
gross national products).
(B) Devoting any increase in its spending for
such Official Development Assistance program
primarily to the Republic of the Philippines
and to countries in regions of importance to
global stability outside of East Asia,
particularly to countries in Latin America, the
Caribbean area, and the Mediterranean area.
(C) Devoting any increase in spending for
that program primarily to untied grants and
increasing the portion of total expenditures
made in that program for those multilateral
financial institutions of which Japan is a
member.
(D) Designating those nations that are to be
recipients of increased development assistance
referred to in subparagraphs (A) through (C)
after consultation with Japan's security
partners.
(E) Completing, after consultation with the
United States, the 5-year defense program of
Japan for fiscal years 1986 through 1990 and,
at the earliest possible date after the
completion of that program, fulfilling the
pledge made by the Prime Minister of Japan in
May 1981 to defend the territory, airspace, and
sea lanes of Japan to a distance of 1,000
nautical miles.
(F) Acquiring ``off-the-shelf'' military
equipment from the United States (including
completely equipped, long-range early warning
aircraft, additional AEGIS weapon systems,
refueling aircraft, munitions, and spare parts)
in developing the capabilities called for in
Japan's current and subsequent 5-year defense
programs.
(c) Negotiations and Consultations.--At the earliest
practicable date after the enactment of this Act, the President
shall--
(1) enter into negotiations with Japan for the
purpose of achieving an agreement under which Japan
agrees to make contributions sufficient in value to
meet the direct cost of deploying United States forces
for the defense of Japan; and
(2) issue an invitation to the Government of Japan
and other governments of Pacific allies of the United
States to engage in annual multilateral consultations
on security concerns, consistent with the constitutions
and national defense requirements of the respective
countries.

whether further action is appropriate, not later than April 1,
1990, the President shall submit to the congressional
committees described in paragraph (3) an initial report on the
status and results of--
(A) the negotiations with Japan referred to in
subsection (c)(1); and

committees a second report on the status and results of the
matters referred to in paragraph (1).

(3) The alliance between the United States and the
Republic of Korea has contributed greatly to the
security of both countries.

of national resources, including approximately 44,000
military personnel, to protecting the security
interests that it shares with the Republic of Korea.
(6) The presence of United States military personnel
in the Republic of Korea contributes to the
preservation of peace on the Korean peninsula, serves
as a military deterrent, and is a tangible
manifestation of the commitment of the United States to
the defense of the Republic of Korea.

States military installations in the Republic of the
Philippines.

part of their national contributions to Western
security.

providing facilities that the NATO alliance decides are
essential to implement NATO security strategy.

assist Portugal, Greece, and Turkey to ensure that NATO
remains politically, economically, and militarily
strong in its southern region as well as in its central
and northern regions.

Countries.--It is further the sense of Congress that the United

SYSTEM
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-

cooperation that existed between State and local law
enforcement officials and the Federal agencies participating in

SEC. 1638. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING
KIDNAPPING AND MURDER OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL HIGGINS
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The radical, Lebanese-based terrorist
organization which calls itself the ``Organization of
the Oppressed of the Earth'' announced on July 31,
1989, that it had executed Lieutenant Colonel William
R. Higgins, a United States Marine assigned for service
with the United Nations in the U.N. Truce Supervision
Organization (UNTSO), who was kidnapped in southern
Lebanon on February 17, 1988.
(2) That organization claimed to have executed
Lieutenant Colonel Higgins in response to the capture
on July 28, 1989, by Israeli commandos of a radical
Muslim Shiite leader, Sheik Abdul Karim Obeid, believed
to be associated with that organization.
(3) That organization released to certain news
agencies a videotape showing Lieutenant Colonel Higgins
killed by hanging, though many forensic experts believe
the videotape indicates that the person shown did not
die from hanging.
(4) The kidnapping of Lieutenant Colonel Higgins, who
was engaged only in carrying out the legitimate United
Nations peacekeeping activities to which he had been
assigned, was wholly unjustified.
(5) It is absolutely clear that the kidnapping and
the murder of Lieutenant Colonel Higgins were
outrageous acts of terrorism that deserve the
condemnation of all civilized people.
(6) There is strong evidence that the Government of
Iran has supported the organization responsible for
Lieutenant Colonel Higgins' kidnapping and murder, as
well as other terrorist and extremist forces inside
Lebanon and throughout the Middle East.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Congress is outraged by the kidnapping and murder
of Lieutenant Colonel Higgins and condemns those
actions as barbaric, cowardly, and utterly incompatible
with the standards of conduct upheld by civilized
people;
(2) the President should use all available resources
of the United States Government, including diplomatic
and intelligence channels, to determine the identity of
those persons responsible for the kidnapping and murder
and the details regarding those terrorist acts;
(3) the President should determine whether it would
be possible to identify and bring to justice, or to
retaliate against, those persons responsible for the
kidnapping and murder in a manner consistent with
United States and international legal requirements that
would reduce the risk to Americans from terrorism;
(4) the President should take strong and decisive
action, possibly including the use of military force,
to prevent or respond to acts of international
terrorism. Such actions should be taken in concert with
other nations where practicable, but the President
should be prepared to act unilaterally, if necessary;
(5) the United States should make clear to the new
leadership in Iran (A) that the United States will not
tolerate a continuation of past policies of support of
groups which undertake terrorist actions against
American citizens or direct assaults on American vital
interests in the Middle East or elsewhere, and (B) that
if such support should continue, the United States will
hold the authorities in Iran accountable for that
support and act accordingly;
(6) the Secretary General of the United Nations
should take all necessary steps to help ensure that the
body of Lieutenant Colonel Higgins is returned to his
country and family and that those responsible for his
kidnapping and murder are immediately brought to
justice;
(7) the President should engage in urgent and
continuing diplomatic contacts with all other
governments concerning their policies and actions which
might have relevance to the interests of the United
States Government or increase the vulnerability of the
United States citizens to attacks by terrorists; and
(8) the President should continue to consult with
other nations to ensure international cooperation and
coordination to end terrorist attacks.

recommendations concerning measures, including legislation if
necessary, to eliminate any identified staffing deficiencies
and to improve interagency coordination with respect to
implementing export controls on nuclear, chemical, and
biological weapons.
(c) Report on Missile Technology Control Regime
Enforcement.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall include in the
report under subsection (b) information concerning the Missile
Technology Control Regime (MTCR). In the report, the Secretary
shall review the existing regulations covering the issues
addressed by the MTCR and shall assess whether those
regulations--
(A) appropriately cover each item listed in the MTCR
annex; and
(B) sufficiently stress consideration of ultimate end
use of an item as a factor in issuance of export
licenses with respect to that item.
(2) In the report, the Secretary shall also assess whether,
in the case of a request for an export license involving a
country that is considered to be a suspect country for purposes
of the regime, or involving a commodity that is considered to
be a suspect commodity for purposes of the regime, sufficient
information on that request is brought to the attention of the
Department of Defense before such a license is issued and, if
not, what measures could be taken to improve Department of
Defense oversight of the issuance of export licenses in such
cases.
(3) In the report, the Secretary may also address whatever
other initiatives for the enforcement of the regime the
Secretary considers would help strengthen the regime.
SEC. 1640. REVIEWS AND REPORTS ON DECONTROL OF CERTAIN PERSONAL
COMPUTERS

microcomputers from sources other than member nations of the
Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls or
other nations that control the export of such computers. The
Secretary of Defense, in conducting his review, also shall
assess the military significance of such microcomputers for the
Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies.
(b) Reports.--The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of
Commerce shall each submit to the Committee on Banking,

\1\ 50 U.S.C. 401 note. As enrolled.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Recent revolutionary world events require a
fundamental reassessment of the defense and national
security policies of the United States.
(2) Emerging democracies around the world will
require political, technical, and economic assistance,
as well as military assistance, from the developed free
nations in order to thrive and to become productive
members of the world community.
(3) Real and potential military threats to the United
States and its allies will continue to exist for the
foreseeable future from not just the Soviet Union but
also from terrorism and from Third World nations.
(4) Proliferation of both sophisticated conventional
weapons and of nuclear weapons could produce a world
more dangerous than we have faced in the past.
(5) Ethnic rivalries as well as economic inequalities
may produce instabilities that could spark serious
conflict.
(6) In order to formulate coherent national policies
to meet these challenges of a new world environment, it
is essential for the United States to achieve a
bipartisan consensus such as that which emerged
following World War II.
(7) Such a consensus can be fostered by the
development of policy recommendations from a highly
respected group of individuals who do not bear a
partisan label and who possess critical expertise and
experience.

Unless the President certifies to Congress before the end of

states that the end strength level for each fiscal year of all
personnel of the Armed Forces of the United States stationed in Japan

SEC. 825. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE OFFSET POLICY
(a) \7\ Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ 10 U.S.C. 2505 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Many contracts entered into by United States
firms for the supply of weapon systems or defense-
related items to foreign countries and foreign firms
are subject to contractual arrangements under which
United States firms must agree--
(A) to have a specified percentage of work
under, or monetary amount of, the contract
performed by one or more foreign firms;
(B) to purchase a specified amount or
quantity of unrelated goods or services from
domestic sources of such foreign countries; or
(C) to invest a specified amount in domestic
businesses of such foreign countries.
Such contractual arrangements, known as ``offsets'',
are a component of international trade and could have
an impact on United States defense industry
opportunities in domestic and foreign markets.
(2) Some United States contractors and subcontractors
may be adversely affected by such contractual
arrangements.
(3) Many contracts which provide for or are subject
to offset arrangements require, in connection with such
arrangements, the transfer of United States technology
to foreign firms.
(4) The use of such transferred technology by foreign
firms in conjunction with foreign trade practices
permitted under the trade policies of the countries of
such firms can give foreign firms a competitive
advantage against United States firms in world markets
for products using such technology.
(5) A purchase of defense equipment pursuant to an
offset arrangement may increase the cost of the defense
equipment to the purchasing country and may reduce the
amount of defense equipment that a country may
purchase.
(6) The exporting of defense equipment produced in
the United States is important to maintain the defense
industrial base of the United States, lower the unit
cost of such equipment to the Department of Defense,
and encourage the standardized utilization of United
States equipment by the allies of the United States.
(b) Amendment to Title 10.\8\ * * *
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ Sec. 825(b) added a new sec. 2505 to 10 U.S.C., concerning U.S.
defense technology transfer and notifications.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) \9\ Negotiations.--(1) The President shall enter into
negotiations with foreign countries that have a policy of
requiring an offset arrangement in connection with the purchase
of defense equipment or supplies from the United States. The
negotiations should be conducted with a view to achieving an
agreement with the countries concerned that would limit the
adverse effects that such arrangements have on the defense
industrial base of each such country. Every effort shall be
made to achieve such agreements within two years after
September 29, 1988; \10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 10 U.S.C. 2505 note.
\10\ Sec. 816 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Years 1990 and 1991 (Public Law 101-189; 103 Stat. 1501) amended sec.
825(c) by transferring the text of para. (2) to the end of para. (1);
by striking ``the date of the enactment of this Act.'' at the end of
that sentence and inserting in lieu thereof ``September 29, 1988''; and
by inserting a new para. (2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) \10\ In the negotiation or renegotiation of any
memorandum of understanding between the United States and one
or more foreign countries relating to the reciprocal
procurement of defense equipment and supplies or research and
development, the President shall make every effort to achieve
an agreement with the country or countries concerned that would
limit the adverse effects that offset arrangements have on the
defense industrial base of the United States.
(d) Reports.--(1) Not later than November 15, 1988, the
President shall submit to Congress a comprehensive report on
contractual offset arrangements required of United States firms
for the supply of weapon systems or defense-related items to
foreign countries or foreign firms. Such report shall include,
at a minimum, the following:
(A) An analysis of the amount and type of contractual
offsets required of United States firms by the
governments of foreign countries or by foreign firms.
(B) An assessment of the benefits for and costs to
United States manufacturers of defense products at all
tiers that result from requirements of foreign
governments for contractual offset arrangements in the
case of products procured from United States firms.
(C) An assessment of the benefits for and the costs
to United States manufacturers of defense products at
all tiers that would result from restriction of the
ability of foreign governments or foreign firms to
require contractual offsets in the case of defense
products procured from United States firms.
(D) An assessment of the benefits and costs of a
United States policy that requires reciprocal offsets
in the procurement of defense products from those
countries whose governments have a policy of requiring
contractual offsets in the case of defense products
procured from United States firms.
(E) An assessment of the impact that elimination of
contractual offset requirements in international sales
of defense products would have on the national security
of the United States.
(F) Recommendations for a national policy with
respect to contractual offset arrangements.
(G) A preliminary discussion of the actions referred
to in paragraph (2).
(2) Not later than March 15, 1990, the President shall
transmit to Congress a report containing a discussion of
appropriate actions to be taken by the United States with
respect to purchases from United States firms by a foreign
country (or a firm of that country) when that country or firm
requires an offset arrangement in connection with the purchase
of defense equipment or supplies in favor of such country. The
report shall include a discussion of the following possible
actions:
(A) A requirement for an offset in favor of the
United States or United States firms in any case in
which the Department of Defense or any other department
or agency of the United States purchases goods from
such foreign country or a firm of such country.
(B) A demand for offset credits from such foreign
country to be used, to the extent practicable, to meet
offset obligations of United States firms to such
foreign country or to a firm of such country.
(C) A reduction in assistance furnished such foreign
country by the United States.
(D) A requirement for alternative equivalent
advantages in the case of any such foreign country or a
firm of such country if the United States does not
purchase a sufficient volume of goods from such country
or firm for a requirement described in subparagraph (A)
to be effective.
(3) The President shall report to Congress at least once
each year, for a period of 4 years, on the progress of the
negotiations referred to in subsection (c). The first such
report shall be submitted not later than one year after the
date of the enactment of this Act.
(4) In this subsection, the terms ``United States firm''
and ``foreign firm'' have the same meanings as are provided in
section 2505(d) of title 10, United States Code, as added by
subsection (b).

SEC. 1004.\14\ SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NEED FOR MODERNIZATION OF THEATER
NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES OF NATO
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ 22 U.S.C. 1928 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The security of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO) alliance will continue for the
foreseeable future to rely on a modern and credible
nuclear deterrent.
(2) NATO should make every effort to achieve the goal
of raising the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons
in the event of a conflict in Europe.
(3) While recognizing that there is a critical need
for improvements in conventional forces, Congress also
recognizes that the United States will have to devote
defense resources in the future to the continuing
modernization of the theater nuclear capabilities of
NATO.
(4) The modernization of the theater nuclear
capabilities of NATO is a continuing process and stems
from the 1983 Montebello decision by NATO to reduce the
stockpile of nuclear weapons in Europe while taking
steps to ensure that the remaining nuclear weapons of
the alliance are responsive, survivable, and effective.
(5) Programs to modernize theater nuclear forces,
which had a high priority for NATO before the
ratification of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces
(INF) Treaty, are at least as important following the
ratification of that treaty in May 1988.
(6) The NATO Nuclear Planning Group recently
reaffirmed its endorsement of development by the United
States of a new missile for delivery of theater nuclear
weapons as a follow-on to the current Lance missile,
with a view toward an eventual decision on deployment
of such a follow-on missile.
(b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings in
subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) modernization of the theater nuclear capabilities
of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is essential
to the deterrence strategy of the NATO alliance,
particularly in light of the requirements of the
Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty for the
destruction of intermediate-range nuclear weapons;
(2) continued modernization by the United States of
theater nuclear capabilities should be undertaken in
close consultation with other NATO member nations; and
(3) the United States should proceed with ongoing
activities to meet the identified requirement of the
NATO alliance for development of a new missile for
delivery of theater nuclear weapons as a follow-on to
the Lance missile.
SEC. 1005. REPORT ON NATO DEFENSE PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 1990
(a) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to
Congress a report setting forth in detail the programs of the
Department of Defense in support of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (referred to as the ``NATO Defense Program'') for
fiscal year 1990. The report shall include--
(1) an identification of each such program by program
element; and
(2) a description of each such program and the level
of funding requested by the President for each such
program in the budget for fiscal year 1990.
(b) Submission of Report.--The report under subsection (a)
shall be submitted in conjunction with the submission to
Congress of the President's budget for fiscal year 1990
pursuant to section 1105 of title 31, United States Code.
SEC. 1006.\15\ IMPROVEMENT IN DEFENSE RESEARCH AND PROCUREMENT LIAISON
WITH ISRAEL
The Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, shall designate for duty
in Israel an individual or individuals to serve as the primary
liaison between the procurement and research and development
activities of the United States Armed Forces and those of the
State of Israel.

SEC. 1007.\16\ MODIFICATION OF REQUIREMENT CONCERNING DESIGNATION OF
MAJOR NON-NATO ALLIES * * *
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ Sec. 1007 amended sec. 1105(f) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1987 (22 U.S.C. 2767a). Sec. 1105 was
repealed in 1989.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 1008. CALL FOR CONTINUED DEFENSE BURDENSHARING DISCUSSIONS WITH
ALLIES
It is the sense of Congress that the President should
continue the discussions (called for by Congress in section
1254(b)(1) of Public Law 100-204) with countries which
participate in mutual defense alliances with the United States,
especially the member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization and Japan, for the purpose of reaching an
agreement for a more equitable distribution of the burden of
financial support for the alliances.
SEC. 1009. CONTRIBUTIONS BY JAPAN TO GLOBAL STABILITY
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) As noted by Congress in section 1012(a)(1) of
Public Law 100-180 and in section 812(a)(1) of Public
Law 99-93,\17\ the alliance of the United States and
Japan is the foundation for the security of Japan and
peace in the Far East and is a major contributing
factor to the democratic freedoms and the economic
prosperity enjoyed by both the United States and Japan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ For text, see Legislation on Foreign Relations Through 2005,
vol. II, sec. D.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) In keeping with the declaration made at the 1983
meeting in Williamsburg, Virginia, of the leaders of
the leading industrialized democracies that ``the
security of our countries is indivisible and must be
approached on a global basis'', the Government of
Japan, in actions welcomed by the United States--
(A) continues to fulfill the pledge made by
the Prime Minister of Japan in May 1981 to
develop the capabilities to defend the
territory of Japan and the airspace and
sealanes around Japan to a distance of 1,000
nautical miles by 1990,
(B) has increased the amount of assistance
provided to other countries during fiscal year
1988 by 6.5 percent over the amount of such
assistance provided during fiscal year 1987,
and
(C) is, according to recent reports, actively
involved in increasing its contributions to the
stability of the Republic of the Philippines.
(3) Japan could, because of its recent history and
economic status, best fulfill a politically acceptable
and significant role in maintaining the security of the
leading industrialized democracies by increasing
spending for its Official Development Assistance
program in the manner described by Congress in section
1012(b) of Public Law 100-180.
(4) The failure of the United States and Japan to
agree on the appropriate level of the contribution by
Japan to maintaining the security of the leading
industrialized democracies could weaken the long-term
vitality, effectiveness, and cohesion of the alliance
between the United States and Japan.
(b) \18\ Annual Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall
include with the annual report submitted pursuant to section
1003 of Public Law 98-525 (22 U.S.C. 1928 note) a report on the
Official Development Assistance program of the Government of
Japan. Such report shall be prepared each year in coordination
with the Secretary of State and the Administrator of the Agency
for International Development and shall include a description
of the amount and nature of spending under such program by
recipient, including distinguishing between grant aid, loans,
and credits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ 22 U.S.C. 1928 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) Policy on Discussions With Japan.--It is the sense of
Congress that in the discussions with Japan referred to in
section 1008 for the purpose of reaching a more equitable
distribution of the burden of financial support for the
security of the leading industrialized democracies, the
objective of such discussions should include the establishment
of a schedule for increases in spending under Japan's Official
Development Assistance program and its defense programs so
that, by 1992, the level of spending on those programs (stated
as a percentage of gross national product) will approximate the
average of the levels of spending by the member nations of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization on official development
assistance and defense programs (stated as a percentage of
their respective gross national products).
(d) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to Congress a
report on the progress of the discussions described in
subsection (c) with respect to Japan.
(e) Further Congressional Action.--It is the sense of
Congress that if, in the judgment of Congress, the report of
the President under subsection (d) does not reflect substantial
progress toward a more equitable distribution of the burden of
maintaining the security of the leading industrialized
democracies, Congress should review the extent of the
distribution of the mutual security burden between the United
States and Japan and should consider whether additional
legislation is appropriate.

TITLE XIII--FOREIGN RELATIONS MATTERS
SEC. 1301. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING THE PANAMA CANAL AND THE UNITED
STATES SOUTHERN COMMAND
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the security of, and the free flow of shipping
through, the Panama Canal are vital interests of the
United States; and
(2) the continued ability of the United States
Southern Command (which currently has its headquarters
in the Republic of Panama) to carry out assigned
missions, especially the mission of defense of the
Panama Canal, is essential to protecting and promoting
the interests of the United States.
(b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings in
subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that the President
should take all steps necessary to ensure the continued ability
of the United States Southern Command (or any successor
command) to carry out assigned missions, especially the mission
of defense of the Panama Canal.
SEC. 1302.\26\ LIMITATION ON ASSISTANCE TO PANAMANIAN DEFENSE FORCE
(a) Limitation.--The President may not use any funds
appropriated to or for the use of any department, agency, or
other entity of the United States for the purpose of providing
assistance to the Panamanian Defense Force. The limitation in
the preceding sentence shall cease to apply upon the submission
by the President to Congress of a certification by the
President--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\26\ 22 U.S.C. 2151 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) that no armed forces of the Soviet Union, the
Republic of Cuba, or the Republic of Nicaragua are
present in the Republic of Panama (other than military
attaches accredited to the Republic of Panama); and
(2) that General Manuel Noriega has relinquished
command of the Panamanian Defense Force and no longer
holds any official position of leadership (either
military or civilian) in the Republic of Panama.
(b) Clarification.--Subsection (a) does not prohibit the
President from obligating or expending any funds necessary
for--
(1) the defense of the Panama Canal,
(2) the collection of intelligence,
(3) the maintenance of United States Armed Forces in
the Republic of Panama, or
(4) the protection of United States interests in the
Republic of Panama.
(c) Report.--Not later than 30 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to Congress a
detailed report, in both classified and unclassified form,
indicating--
(1) whether (and to what extent) military,
paramilitary, or intelligence personnel of the Soviet
Union, Cuba, or Nicaragua are present in the Republic
of Panama; and
(2) whether (and to what extent) the Panamanian
Defense Force has coordinated with, cooperated with,
supported, or received support from, any such
personnel.
SEC. 1303. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING INDICTMENT OF GENERAL NORIEGA
OF PANAMA ON DRUG-RELATED CHARGES
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) General Manuel Noriega, the commander of the
Panamanian Defense Force, was indicted on February 5,
1988, in the United States District Courts for the
Southern District and for the Middle District of
Florida on a number of serious drug-related charges
against the laws of the United States, including
charges involving trafficking in illegal drugs,
protecting and supporting drug traffickers, and
laundering of drug-related money; and
(2) there have been reports in the news media and
from other sources that discussions between officials
of the United States and General Noriega may have
occurred concerning arrangements under which General
Noriega would give up political power and leave the
Republic of Panama in exchange for which the United
States would file a motion to dismiss the indictments
referred to in paragraph (1).
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress--
(1) that the United States should not conduct or
authorize any negotiations or discussions, and should
not make any arrangements, with General Manuel Noriega
which would involve any effort by the United States to
dismiss the indictments referred to in subsection
(a)(1); and
(2) that any such negotiation, discussion, or
arrangement--
(A) would be incompatible with the high
priority that the United States places on the
war on drugs;
(B) would not further the prospects for
restoring noncorrupt, democratic government to
the Republic of Panama; and
(C) would not serve the interests of the
United States.
SEC. 1304. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON INTRODUCTION OF ARMED FORCES INTO
NICARAGUA FOR COMBAT
Congress hereby reaffirms the sense of Congress expressed
in the first session of the 99th Congress (in section 1451 of
the Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1986 (Public Law
99-145; 99 Stat. 760)), that United States Armed Forces should
not be introduced into or over Nicaragua for combat. However,
nothing in this section shall be construed as affecting the
authority and responsibility of the President or Congress under
the Constitution, statutes, or treaties of the United States in
force.
SEC. 1305. HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS BY THE GOVERNMENT OF POLAND
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The government of Poland, headed by General
Wojciech Jaruzelski, has violated internationally
recognized human rights of the people of Poland,
including the right to peaceably assemble, the right to
strike, the right to freely associate, and the right to
due process.
(2) The Jaruzelski government has retaliated against
the justified, peaceful protests of workers at Nowa
Huta, Poland, through the use of violence and force.
(3) The Jaruzelski government has prosecuted and
imprisoned a number of persons for politically related
offenses.
(4) The Jaruzelski government has to date refused to
take steps which would guarantee the right of the
people of Poland to participate in the management of
the economy of Poland and has refused to accept the
principle of pluralism in the national life of Poland.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is, therefore, the sense of
Congress--
(1) that the use of force against the workers of Nowa
Huta and intimidation against other strikers in Poland
should be condemned; and
(2) that improvement in relations between the United
States and Poland must be predicated on an improvement
in internationally recognized human rights in Poland,
including the release of political prisoners, steps
toward trade union pluralism and the rights of
independent trade unions to organize, and steps toward
genuine national reconciliation and dialogue.
SEC. 1306. CONDITIONS FOR SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF F-15 AIRCRAFT TO
SAUDI ARABIA
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any sale or
other transfer to Saudi Arabia by the United States of F-15

transferred to Saudi Arabia shall be limited to models
A, B, C, and D.

(3) Saudi Arabia shall not possess more than 60 F-15
aircraft at any time, except that additional
replacement F-15 aircraft may be held in the United
States, at the expense of Saudi Arabia, for shipment to

that the existing inventory of F-15 aircraft held by
Saudi Arabia is less than 60 and, then, only on a one-
for-one replacement basis as each F-15 aircraft is
totally removed from the inventory of Saudi Arabia.
(b) \27\ The President may waive subsection (a) if the
President certifies to Congress that such action is in the
national interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\27\ In a memorandum for the Secretary of State of August 8, 1990
(55 F.R. 32591), the President certified ``that it is in the national
interest of the United States to waive section 1306(a)''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 1307. RESTRICTION ON SALE OF DEFENSE ARTICLES TO CERTAIN NATIONS
(a) Restriction.--During fiscal year 1989, the United
States may not make any sale of defense articles subject to
section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C.
2776(b)) to any nation which has acquired intermediate-range
ballistic missiles made by the People's Republic of China.
(b) Presidential Certification.--(1) The restriction in
subsection (a) shall cease to apply with respect to any nation
which has acquired such missiles upon certification by the
President to Congress that that nation does not have chemical,
biological, or nuclear warheads for those missiles.
(2) If the President makes a certification under paragraph
(1) in the case of any nation, the President shall notify
Congress promptly of any evidence that, after the date of such
certification, such nation has acquired chemical, biological,
or nuclear warheads for those missiles.
SEC. 1308. UNITED STATES BASES IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES
(a) Congressional Findings.--Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) The United States has maintained military bases
in the Philippines since 1947 pursuant to the United
States-Philippine Military Bases Agreement and
maintained military bases in the Philippines for many
years before that under other arrangements.
(2) Clark Air Force Base, Subic Bay Naval Base, and
the other United States military installations in the
Philippines significantly promote the mutual interests
of the United States and the Philippines and contribute
to regional and global security.
(3) These installations are also important to the
development of democratic institutions and to economic
progress in the Western Pacific and Southeast Asia.
(4) The United States military installations in the
Philippines employ a loyal and highly skilled cadre of
Filipinos and make a substantial contribution to the
Philippine economy.
(5) The Military Bases Agreement as currently in
effect has a fixed term lasting until September 16,
1991, after which it continues in effect subject to
termination by either party on one year's notice.
(6) Pursuant to a 1979 amendment to that agreement,
the President of the United States pledged to the
Government of the Republic of the Philippines to
undertake ``best efforts'' to obtain security
assistance for the Philippines, and such pledge was
reiterated by the President of the United States in
1983 as part of a five-year review of the agreement.
(7) The United States and the Republic of the
Philippines are currently engaged in a second five-year
review of the Military Bases Agreement.
(8) Officials of the Government of the Republic of
the Philippines have indicated to officials of the
United States that the United States should
significantly increase compensation for the use by the
United States of military bases in the Philippines.
(9) The provision of multilateral economic assistance
to the Republic of the Philippines should be considered
separately from the provision of security assistance by
the United States to the Republic of the Philippines in
return for United States basing rights in the
Philippines.
(b) Report on Facilities.--(1) The Secretary of Defense
shall submit to Congress a report on the existing United States
military facilities in the Republic of the Philippines. The
report shall include analysis of the following:
(A) The costs and benefits of maintaining those
facilities, including the costs to the United States of
the operation and maintenance of those facilities and
any other costs associated with those facilities and
the economic and social benefits and other benefits of
those facilities to the Republic of the Philippines.
(B) Potential alternative locations for those
facilities.
(C) The strategic value to the United States of
having military facilities located in the Philippines
and of having such facilities at the potential
alternative locations considered.
(D) The costs and benefits of relocating those
facilities to the potential alternative locations,
including--
(i) the cost to the United States of
operation and maintenance and other costs,
(ii) the economic, social, and other costs to
the Philippines, and

benefits to the government and community at
each alternative location.
(E) The availability of skilled indigenous personnel

SEC. 1310. ECONOMIC SANCTIONS AGAINST ETHIOPIA
(a) Statements of Policy.--The Congress--
(1) condemns the Government of Ethiopia for its
blatant disregard for human life as demonstrated by its
use of food as a weapon, its forced resettlement
program, and its human rights record;
(2) in the strongest terms possible, urges the
Government of Ethiopia to allow foreign relief
personnel to return to the north and to allow the
international relief campaign to resume operations at
its own risk, while retaining full control over its
assets and having access to adequate aircraft and fuel;
(3) in the strongest terms possible, urges rebel
groups to cease attacks upon relief vehicles and relief
distribution points and to respect the impartiality of
the international relief campaign;
(4) urges the President and the Secretary of State
(through direct representations to the Government of
Ethiopia and certain rebel groups and through sustained
multilateral initiatives involving other Western
donors, the United Nations, and the Organization of
African Unity) to focus world pressure and opinion upon
the combatants in northern Ethiopia, to press for an
``open roads/own risk'' policy that will facilitate the
resumption of international relief efforts in the
north, to press the Government of Ethiopia and the
rebel groups to reach a pragmatic, enduring political
settlement, and to press the Government of Ethiopia to
implement genuine and effective reform of its failed
agricultural policies; and
(5) urges the President and the Secretary of State to
engage in direct discussion with the Soviet Union in
order that the peaceful resolution of the crisis in
northern Ethiopia becomes a high priority of the Soviet
Union and that the approach of the Soviet Union is
consistent with that of the West.
(b) Sanctions.--(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, the President is authorized to, and is hereby strongly
urged to, impose such economic sanctions upon Ethiopia as the
President determines to be appropriate (subject to paragraphs
(2) and (3)) if, at any time after the date of the enactment of
this Act, the Government of Ethiopia engages in any of the
following outrages:

imports from Ethiopia, the President shall give priority
consideration to those products which constitute major imports
from Ethiopia, unless the President determines that sanctions
against such products would have an adverse effect on economic
interests of the United States.
(3) If a sanction imposed pursuant to paragraph (1)
involves the prohibition or curtailment of exports to Ethiopia,
that sanction may only be imposed under the authority and
subject to the requirements of section 6 of the Export
Administration Act of 1979.
(c) Reports to Congress.--Not more than 15 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act and at the end of each 90-day
period thereafter, the President shall submit to Congress a
report stating whether or not, during the 90-day period
preceding the date of the report, the Government of Ethiopia
engaged in any conduct described in subsection (b). Each such
report shall describe the response of the United States to any
such conduct.
(d) Regulation Authority.--The President shall issue such
regulations, licenses, and orders as are necessary to implement
any sanction imposed under this section.

military missions that would maximize the military
contributions of the member countries of NATO.
(D) Any efforts that are underway within NATO or
between individual member countries of NATO at the time
the report is submitted that are intended to result in
a more effective assignment of military missions within
NATO.
(b) The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State shall
(1) conduct a review of the long-term strategic interests of
the United States overseas and the future requirements for the
assignment of members of the Armed Forces of the United States
to permanent duty ashore outside the United States, and (2)
determine specific actions that, if taken, would result in a
more balanced sharing of defense and foreign assistance
spending burdens by the United States and its allies. Not later
than August 1, 1989, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary
of State shall transmit to Congress a report containing the
findings resulting from the review and their determinations.

``(c) The President shall appoint an Ambassador at Large
responsible to the President who shall have the responsibility for
ensuring a more balanced sharing of defense costs by the NATO members,

States. Such responsibilities shall include negotiations for
burdensharing, including increased in-kind and financial support by
such countries for Department of Defense military units and personnel
assigned to permanent duty ashore outside the United States in support
of the security of such countries, and multi-lateral foreign assistance
costs. The Ambassador at Large should review (1) trade restrictions
that require German utilities to purchase German-produced coal to the
exclusion of foreign coal, including United States coal, and (2) the
extent to which the tax on electricity used to subsidize German coal
producers is borne by American military installations, American
military dependents, or American civilians who support our military
installations. The Ambassador at Large should prepare an economic
analysis on the comparison of using German versus United States coal at
defense facilities in Europe. This analysis should address the issues
of all direct subsidies provided on German coal and restrictions
imposed on imported coal and should be submitted to the Secretaries of
Defense, State, and Commerce for use in their study on the economic
benefits of using coal at defense facilities in Europe.''.

SEC. 220. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON STRATEGIC MISSILE MODERNIZATION PROGRAMS
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) It is essential that the nation's defense
priorities be carefully analyzed so as to properly fund
the Armed Forces.
(2) The capabilities of the conventional forces of
the United States and its allies will become more
important if an agreement with respect to intermediate-
range nuclear forces (INF) is concluded between the
United States and the Soviet Union.
(3) It is both desirable and possible to reduce the
reliance of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on
nuclear weapons for the defense of all members of the
alliance if the member nations of the alliance assert
the political will to reduce such reliance and
establish sound defense priorities.
(4) The United States is currently procuring and
deploying one land-based intercontinental ballistic
missile system (the MX system) at significant cost
while developing another such system (the so-called
Midgetman system) at significant additional cost.
(5) Efforts to reduce the Federal budget deficit,
which are imperative for the economic well being of the
United States, will continue for the foreseeable future
to require limits on all discretionary Federal
spending, including defense spending.
(b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings in
subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that the
authorization of funds in this Act for research and development
for both the new small mobile intercontinental ballistic
missile (commonly known as the ``Midgetman'' missile) and the
proposed rail-mobile basing mode for the MX missile does not
constitute a commitment or express an intent by Congress to
provide funds to procure and deploy the Midgetman missile or to
deploy any MX missiles in a rail-mobile basing mode or both.

SEC. 227.\3\ ESTABLISHMENT OF A FEDERALLY FUNDED RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT CENTER TO SUPPORT THE STRATEGIC DEFENSE
INITIATIVE PROGRAM
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Department of Defense requires technical
support for issues of system integration related to the
Strategic Defense Initiative program.
(2) The Strategic Defense Initiative Organization,
after assessing alternative types of organizations for
the provision of such technical support to the
Strategic Defense Initiative program (including
Government organizations, profit and nonprofit entities
(including existing federally funded research and
development centers), a new division within an existing
federally funded research and development center, a new
federally funded research and development center,
colleges and universities, and private nonprofit
laboratories), determined that a new federally funded
research and development center (hereinafter in this
section referred to as an ``FFRDC'') would be the type
of organization most appropriate for the provision of
such technical support to the Strategic Defense
Initiative program.
(3) In providing such technical support to the SDI
program, the new FFRDC should provide critical
evaluation and rigorous and objective analysis of
technologies, systems, and architectures that are
candidates for use in the SDI program.
(4) Competitive selection of a contractor to
establish and operate such an FFRDC to support the
Strategic Defense Initiative program is one way to
enhance the prospects for independent and objective
evaluation of system integration issues within the
Strategic Defense Initiative program.
(b) Authority To Contract for FFRDC.--The Secretary of
Defense, using funds appropriated to the Department of Defense
for the Strategic Defense Initiative program, may enter into a
contract to provide for the establishment and operation of a
federally funded research and development center to provide
independent and objective technical support to the Strategic
Defense Initiative program. Such a contract may not be awarded
before October 1, 1989.
(c) Contract Award Requirements.--(1) A contract under
subsection (b) shall be awarded using competitive procedures
which emphasize cost considerations.
(2) The Secretary of Defense shall solicit proposals for
such contract from existing federally funded research and
development centers, from universities, from commercial
entities, and from appropriate new organizations and shall make
maximum efforts to obtain more than one proposal for such
contract.
(3) The Secretary shall submit the three best contract
proposals (as determined by the Secretary), together with a
copy of the proposed sponsoring agreement for the new FFRDC,
for review by three persons designated by the Defense Science
Board from a list of six or more persons submitted by the
National Academy of Sciences. The persons performing the
review--
(A) shall evaluate the extent to which each proposal
and the proposed sponsoring agreement would foster
competent and objective technical advice for the
Strategic Defense Initiative Program; and
(B) shall report their evaluation of each such
proposal and of the proposed sponsoring agreement to
the Secretary.
(4) Before awarding a contract under subsection (b), and
not sooner than March 30, 1989, the Secretary shall submit to
Congress--
(A) a copy of the proposed final contract; and
(B) a copy of the proposed final sponsoring agreement
relating to the operation of the new FFRDC.
(5)(A) The Secretary shall then withhold the award of such
contract and the approval of such sponsoring agreement for a
period of at least 30 days of continuous session of Congress
beginning on the day after the date on which Congress receives
the copies referred to in paragraph (4).
(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the continuity of a
session of Congress is broken only by an adjournment sine die
at the end of the second regular session of that Congress. In
computing the 30-day period for such purposes, days on which
either House of Congress is not in session because of an
adjournment of more than three days to a day certain shall be
excluded.
(d) Requirements Applicable to FFRDC.--The Secretary of
Defense shall--
(1) require that the contract referred to in
subsection (b) include a provision stating that no
officer or employee of the Department of Defense shall
have the authority to veto the employment of any person
selected to serve as an officer or employee of the new
FFRDC;
(2) require that at least 5 percent of the total
amount of funds available for the new FFRDC shall be
set aside for independent research to be performed by
the staff of the new FFRDC under the direction of the
chief executive officer of the new FFRDC;
(3) impose a limitation on the compensation payable
to each senior executive of the new FFRDC for services
performed for the new FFRDC so that such compensation
shall be comparable to the amount of compensation
payable to senior executives of comparable federally
funded research and development centers for similar
services;
(4) require that the new FFRDC publicly disclose the
salary of its chief executive officer;
(5) prohibit current or former members of the
Strategic Defense Initiative Advisory Committee from
serving as members of the Board of Trustees of the
FFRDC if such members constitute 10 or more percent of
the Board of Trustees or from serving as officers of
the new FFRDC;
(6) require that the contract referred to in
subsection (b) include a provision prohibiting members
of such Board of Trustees from serving as officers of
the new FFRDC, except that a Board member may serve as
the President of the new FFRDC if the Board is
comprised of 10 or more members;
(7) require that the contract referred to in
subsection (b) include a provision prohibiting the new
FFRDC from employing any person who, as a Federal
employee or member of the Armed Forces, served in the
Strategic Defense Initiative Organization within two
years before the date on which such person is to be
employed by the new FFRDC; and
(8) require that any contract referred to in
subsection (b) require that the Board of Trustees of
the new FFRDC be comprised of individuals who represent
a reasonable cross-section of views on the engineering
and scientific issues associated with the Strategic
Defense Initiative Program.
(e) Funding.--The Secretary of Defense shall provide that
all funds for the new FFRDC within the Department of Defense
budget for any fiscal year shall be separately identified and
set forth in the budget presentation materials submitted to
Congress for that fiscal year.
(f) Sunset Provision.--No Federal funds may be provided to
the new FFRDC after the end of the five-year period beginning
on the date of the award of the first contract awarded to the
FFRDC under this section.

SEC. 233. REPORT ON HOW ABSENCE OF THE ABM TREATY WOULD AFFECT
STRATEGIC OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE PROGRAMS
(a) Report on No ABM Treaty Limitations.--The Secretary of
Defense shall submit to Congress a report concerning what the
effect would be on strategic offensive and defensive programs
of the United States if there were no limitations on strategic
defensive systems in force under the 1972 ABM Treaty.
(b) Matters To Be Included.--The report shall include the
following:
(1) An analysis of the ramifications of there being
no limitation in force under the 1972 ABM Treaty on
development under the Strategic Defense Initiative
(SDI) program of strategic defenses, including
comprehensive strategic defense systems and more
limited defenses designed to protect vital military and
command and control assets of the United States.
(2) A comparison (based on the analysis made under
paragraph (1)) of the research and development programs
that could be pursued under the SDI program under the
limitations applicable under the restrictive
interpretation of the 1972 ABM Treaty, under the less
restrictive interpretation of such treaty, and under a
case in which there were no such limitations, including
a comparative analysis of--
(A) the overall cost of such research and
development programs;
(B) the schedule of such research and
development programs; and
(C) the level of confidence attained in such
research and development programs with respect
to supporting a decision to commence full-scale
engineering development under such programs in
the early-to-mid 1990s.
(3) A list of options for the SDI program, assuming
that there are no limitations in force under the 1972
ABM Treaty, that meet one or more of the following
objectives:
(A) Reduction of overall development cost.
(B) Advancement of the schedule for making a
decision to commence full-scale engineering
development.
(C) Increase in the level of confidence in
the results of the research by the original
scheduled date for the commencement of full-
scale development.
(4) An analysis of how rapidly, in the absence of
limitations under the 1972 ABM Treaty, the Soviet Union
could deploy a nationwide anti-ballistic missile
defense of military and nonmilitary targets and the
consequences of such a deployment. The analysis should
include an assessment of the following:
(A) The effect of such deployment on the
confidence of the United States that, should
deterrence that depends increasingly on
defensive forces fail, the planned strategic
nuclear forces of the United States would be
sufficient to hold assets that the leaders of
the Soviet Union value at risk following a
first strike by the Soviet Union against the
United States.
(B) The changes that must be made to the
strategic offensive forces of the United States
to hold assets that the leaders of the Soviet
Union value at risk in the presence of
strategic defenses. The analysis should include
both the cost of those changes and the time
period scale over which they could be
accomplished.
(C) The consistency of the required changes
to United States strategic offensive forces of
the United States described under subparagraph
(B) with the current United States negotiating
position in the Strategic Arms Reduction
(START) negotiations.
(D) The degree to which crisis stability
would be affected during the transition period
between the appearance of nationwide anti-
ballistic missile defenses by both the United
States and the Soviet Union and the completion
of the changes that the United States would
make to its strategic offensive forces in
response to such defenses by the Soviet Union.
(5) An analysis of the effect on deterrence of
nuclear conflict if both the United States and Soviet
Union deploy strategic defenses of comparable
capability, considering both less capable and highly
capable strategic defenses, as well as appropriate
transition issues (including the effect on deterrence
of the potential vulnerability of strategic defenses).
(c) Deadline for Report.--The report under subsection (a)
shall be submitted not later than March 1, 1988.
(d) Report Classification.--The report under subsection (a)
shall be submitted in both classified and unclassified

TITLE X--MATTERS RELATING TO NATO COUNTRIES AND OTHER ALLIES
Part A--NATO Deterrence
SEC. 1001. REPORT ON REQUIREMENTS FOR MAINTAINING NATO'S STRATEGY OF
DETERRENCE
(a) Requirement.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to
Congress a report regarding the ability of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO) to maintain its strategy of
deterrence through the 1990s. The report shall include a
specific discussion of the implications for such deterrence if
the United States and the Soviet Union agree to a treaty which
requires the elimination of all intermediate-range nuclear
force (INF) missiles having a range between 500 and 5,500
kilometers. The report shall be prepared in consultation with
the Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, and the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
(b) Form and Content of Report.--The Secretary shall submit
the report required by subsection (a) in both classified and
unclassified forms and shall include in the report the
following:
(1) A discussion of the effect that the elimination
under an INF treaty of intermediate range missiles
deployed by the United States and the Soviet Union
would likely have on the ability of NATO to maintain an
effective flexible response strategy and credible
deterrence.
(2) The appropriate numbers and types of nuclear
weapons and nuclear-capable delivery systems of the
United States not limited by the proposed INF treaty
which the Secretary of Defense recommends for
deployment in or redeployment to the European theater
if an INF treaty is ratified and enters into force,
including a description of any nuclear modernization
program the Secretary has recommended or proposes to
recommend as necessary to ensure that NATO will be able
to maintain a credible and effective military strategy.
(3) A discussion of the balance between the
nonnuclear forces of NATO and the Warsaw Pact in the
European theater, the likelihood of NATO making
significant improvements in that balance over the next
few years, the potential effect of conventional force
balance alternatives currently under consideration by
the United States Government, and the likelihood and
potential effect of a new agreement between NATO and
the Warsaw Pact limiting nonnuclear forces on that
balance.
(4) A discussion of the feasibility and cost
effectiveness of substituting advanced conventional
munitions for nuclear weapons currently deployed by
NATO, including a discussion of the costs of such
weapons and prospects for sharing such costs among NATO
allies.
(5) A description of nonnuclear forces that would be
needed to support the operational concept of Follow-on
Forces Attack (FOFA).
(6) The status of improvements being made in the air
defenses of NATO in Europe.
(7) A discussion of the views of the leaders of
member nations of NATO (other than the United States)
and of the Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR),
on the matters described in paragraphs (1) through (5).
(c) Deadline of Report.--The report required by subsection
(a) shall be submitted not later than the earlier of--
(1) 90 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act; or
(2) the date on which the President submits to the
Senate for its advice and consent a treaty described in
subsection (a).
SEC. 1002. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON LEVEL OF UNITED STATES FORCES
PERMANENTLY STATIONED IN EUROPE IN SUPPORT OF NATO
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings
with respect to the level of United States military forces
permanently stationed in Europe:
(1) The agreement in principle between the United
States and the Soviet Union to eliminate all
intermediate-range nuclear missiles has important
implications for the defense posture of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance.
(2) The presence of United States forces in Europe
constitutes the most visible and meaningful evidence of
the continuing strong commitment of the United States
to the integrity of the alliance.
(3) NATO Defense Ministers stated in May 1987 that
the ``continued presence of United States forces at
existing levels in Europe plays an irreplaceable role
in the defense of North America as well as Europe''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--(1) In light of the findings in
subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
(A) the stationing in Europe of United States
military forces in support of NATO at the level of
military personnel permanently stationed in Europe in
support of NATO on the date of the enactment of this
Act plays an indispensable role for peace and
deterrence; and
(B) the commitment of United States forces should be
continued at that level (assuming all existing basing
agreements remain in effect).
(2) It is further the sense of Congress that it would not
be inconsistent with the sense of Congress expressed in
paragraph (1) if the actual number of United States military
personnel permanently stationed in Europe in support of NATO at
any time falls below the level of such personnel on the date of
the enactment of this Act because of administrative
fluctuations or if such level is reduced following a
determination by the President that national security
considerations require such a reduction.
SEC. 1003. STUDY OF FUTURE OF NATO
The Secretary of Defense shall contribute, from funds
appropriated for fiscal year 1988 for operation and maintenance
of Defense Agencies, the amount of $50,000 to the North
Atlantic Assembly for a study on the future of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Part B--Burden Sharing
SEC. 1011. STUDY OF DEFENSE EXPENDITURES IN JAPAN
(a) In General.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a
study of the ways in which the United States may further its
national security interests in the Far East.
(b) Report.--Within 90 days after the date of the enactment
of this Act, the Secretary shall transmit to Congress a report
on such study. The report shall contain--
(1) the plans of the Department of Defense in the
current five-year defense plan for defense expenditures
for each fiscal year covered by the plan to be made in
support of United States security interests in the Far
East and, of such planned expenditures in each such
fiscal year, how much is attributable to projected
increases in defense outlays for that fiscal year;
(2) the projections for national defense expenditures
by Japan for each such fiscal year;
(3) the projections for national defense expenditures
by the United States directly in support of United
States forces, facilities, and equipment stationed or
located in Japan for each such fiscal year; and
(4) the projections for national defense expenditures
by Japan directly in support of United States forces
stationed in Japan for each such fiscal year.
SEC. 1012. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING JAPAN'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO GLOBAL
STABILITY
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The alliance of the United States and Japan is
the foundation for the security of Japan and peace in
the Far East and is a major contributing factor to the
democratic freedoms and economic prosperity enjoyed by
both the United States and Japan.
(2) Threats to the security of both the United States
and Japan have increased significantly since 1976,
principally as the result of--
(A) the occupation of Afghanistan by the
Soviet Union;
(B) the continued expansion and buildup of
military forces of the Soviet Union
(particularly the expansionist efforts by the
Soviet Union in the South Pacific and the
buildup of the Soviet Pacific fleet);
(C) the occupation of Cambodia by Vietnam;
and
(D) instability in the Persian Gulf region
(from which Japan receives 60 percent of its
petroleum and one-third of its total energy
requirements).
(3) In keeping with the declaration made at the 1983
meeting in Williamsburg, Virginia, of the leaders of
the leading industrialized democracies that ``the
security of our countries is indivisible and must be
approached on a global basis'', the government of
Japan--
(A) has raised its defense spending by an
average of 5 percent per year since 1981;
(B) has rescinded a limit on annual
expenditures for defense of 1 percent of the
gross national product of Japan; and
(C) is fulfilling the pledge of Prime
Minister Suzuki to defend the territory,
airspace, and sea lanes of Japan to a distance
of 1,000 miles by 1990.
(4) While recognizing and applauding the actions by
the government of Japan referred to in paragraph (3),
Congress notes that Japan has the second largest gross
national product in the world, is a major creditor
nation, and has a large private savings rate, but
nevertheless lags far behind other industrialized
democracies in terms of the percentage of its gross
national product that it spends for national defense
and programs to promote global security and stability.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the United States would welcome an initiative by Japan to
assume a politically acceptable and significant global security
role consistent with its economic status by taking the
following actions:
(1) Increasing spending for its Official Development
Assistance program and its defense programs so that, by
1992, the level of spending by Japan on those programs
(stated as a percentage of gross national product) will
approximate the average of the levels of spending by
the member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization on official development assistance and
defense programs (stated as a percentage of their
respective gross national products).
(2) Devoting increased spending for its Official
Development Assistance program primarily to the
Republic of the Philippines and regions of importance
to global stability outside of East Asia, particularly
Oceania, Latin America, and the Caribbean and
Mediterranean nations.
(3) Devoting any increase in spending for that
program primarily to concessional, untied grants and
increasing the portion of total expenditures made for
that program for those multilateral financial
institutions of which Japan is a member.
(4) Designating those nations that are to be
recipients of increased development assistance as
described in paragraphs (1) through (3) through
consultation with its security partners.
(5) Completing its five-year defense program for
fiscal years 1986 through 1990 and, at the earliest
possible date after the completion of that program,
further enhancing the fulfillment of the pledge of
Prime Minister Suzuki referred to in subsection (a)(3).

(4) On October 8, 1987, elements of the Armed Forces
of the United States, acting jointly, successfully
defended themselves against an attack by Iranian forces
in the Persian Gulf.
(5) The success of those joint operations (A) serves
notice to Iran that the United States will react
decisively and effectively to such hostile activities,
and (B) may result in reduced risk to United States
interests in the Persian Gulf.
(6) There is precedent throughout the history of the
United States for Congress to recognize and commend
similar operations by the Armed Forces of the United
States, including Congressional praise on February 3,
1802, of ``the gallant conduct'' of certain members of
a United States Naval force in the Wars with the
Barbary Powers.
(b) Congressional Commendations.--The Congress hereby--
(1) declares that those members of the Armed Forces
who participated in the joint operations of September
21-22, 1987, and October 8, 1987, in the Persian Gulf
acted in the finest military and naval traditions of
the United States and displayed exemplary
professionalism, skill, and dedication; and
(2) commends those members, and all members of the
Armed Forces who acted in support of those operations,
for their participation in those important and
successful operations.
SEC. 1402. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING JUSTIFICATION FOR SINKING
IRANIAN VESSELS
It is the sense of the Senate that the Armed Forces of the
United States are fully justified in sinking any Iranian vessel
which threatens the safe passage of (1) any warship of the
United States, or (2) any other vessel known to have on board
any citizen of the United States. This section shall not in
itself be construed as legislative authority for any specific
military operation.
SEC. 1403. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD PANAMA
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The executive, judicial, and legislative branches
of the Government of Panama are now under the influence
and control of the Panamanian Defense Forces.
(2) A broad coalition of church, business, labor,
civic, and political groups in Panama has called for an
objective and thorough investigation of allegations
concerning serious violations of law by certain
officials of the Government of Panama and the
Panamanian Defense Forces and has insisted that General
Noriega and others involved relinquish their official
positions until such an investigation has been
completed.
(3) The Panamanian people continue to be denied the
full rights and protections guaranteed by their
constitution, as evidenced by continuing censorship and
the closure of the independent media, arrests without
due process, and instances of the use of excessive
force by the Panamanian Defense Forces.
(4) Political unrest and social turmoil in Panama can
only be resolved if the Government of Panama begins to
demonstrate respect for and adherence to all provisions
of the Panamanian constitution.
(b) Policy.--Therefore, it is the sense of Congress that,
subject to the condition expressed in subsection (c), the
United States should take the following actions:
(1) Cease all economic and military assistance
provided to the Government of Panama under the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 and the Arms Export Control Act,
other than assistance to meet immediate humanitarian
concerns.
(2) Suspend all shipments of military equipment
(including spare parts for military equipment) to the
Government of Panama or to any of its agencies or
institutions.
(3) Reassess whether the United States should
terminate the importation into the United States of
sugar, syrup, and molasses produced in Panama and
reallocate among other foreign countries the quantities
of such products that otherwise would be imported from
Panama.
(c) Conditions.--It is further the sense of Congress that
the United States should take the actions described in
subsection (b) unless, within 45 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act--
(1) the Government of Panama has demonstrated
substantial progress in the effort to assure civilian
control of the armed forces and that the Panama Defense
Forces and its leaders have been removed from
nonmilitary activities and institutions;
(2) the Government of Panama has established an
independent investigation into allegations of illegal
actions by members of the Panama Defense Forces;
(3) a nonmilitary transitional government is in
power; and
(4) all constitutional guarantees, including freedom
of the press, have been restored to the people of
Panama.
SEC. 1404. CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENTS CONCERNING VIETNAMESE OCCUPATION OF
CAMBODIA AND JAPANESE TRADE WITH VIETNAM
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) during the nine years since Vietnam invaded
Cambodia in late 1978, most Western countries have
pledged to maintain an embargo on trade with and
developmental aid to Vietnam until Vietnamese troops
are withdrawn from Cambodia;
(2) Japan joined in this embargo by freezing
approximately $135,000,000 in grants and concessionary
loans to Vietnam and reducing trade levels with Vietnam
from $220,000,000 in 1978 to $120,000,000 the following
year;
(3) despite the fact that 140,000 Vietnamese troops
continue to occupy Cambodia, Japan's economic ties with
Vietnam have grown steadily since 1982, reaching a
current annual trade level of $230,000,000;
(4) this trade has included trade in goods and
technology which enhances the productive capacity and
the infrastructure base of Vietnam; and
(5) the 65,000,000 people of Vietnam are a tempting
lure for investors seeking low wages and for traders
seeking new markets.
(b) Condemnation of Vietnamese Occupation of Cambodia.--The
Congress hereby--
(1) reaffirms its condemnation of the continued
Vietnamese occupation of the sovereign State of
Cambodia, an activity which violates all standards of
conduct befitting a responsible nation and contravenes
all recognized principles of international law; and
(2) reaffirms its call for Vietnam to withdraw from
Cambodia as the only way Vietnam can expect to end its
self-induced economic isolation.
(c) Statement on Japanese Trade With Vietnam.--The Congress
hereby strongly urges the Government of Japan to--
(1) continue to refrain from granting to Vietnam any
official economic assistance;
(2) refrain from granting to Vietnam any form of
trade financing, including export credits, trade-
related credit insurance, and extended loans for
infrastructure development;
(3) continue to discourage its private business
sector from exporting to Vietnam goods and technology
which enhance the productive capacity and the
infrastructure base of Vietnam, including in particular
equipment for--
(A) oil exploration and development,
(B) forestry and fishery production,
(C) development of raw materials for light
industries, and
(D) the upgrading of export productive
capacities; and
(4) strongly discourage the private business sector
of Japan from providing financing which in any way
facilitates trade with Vietnam.
SEC. 1405. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON INTRODUCTION OF ARMED FORCES INTO
NICARAGUA FOR COMBAT
Congress hereby reaffirms the sense of Congress expressed
in the first session of the 99th Congress (in section 1451 of
the Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1986 (Public Law
99-145; 99 Stat. 760)), that United States Armed Forces should
not be introduced into or over Nicaragua for combat. However,
nothing in this section shall be construed as affecting the
authority and responsibility of the President or Congress under
the Constitution, statutes, or treaties of the United States in
force.

SEC. 216. EFFECT OF STRATEGIC DEFENSE INITIATIVE ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE
ANTI-BALLISTIC MISSILE TREATY
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Sec. 214 amended sec. 223(b) of the Department of Defense
Authorization Act, 1986 (Public Law 99-145; 99 Stat. 613).
\4\ Sec. 215 was repealed by sec. 231 of Public Law 100-180 (101
Stat. 1019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The President's Commission on Strategic Forces
declared in its report to the President, dated March
21, 1984, that ``One of the most successful arms
control agreements is the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty
of 1972''.
(2) The Secretary of State has stated that the ``ABM
Treaty requires consultations and the President has
explicitly recognized that any ABM-related deployments
arising from research into ballistic missile defenses
would be a matter for consultations and negotiations
between the Parties''.
(3) The Secretary of State declared on October 14,
1985, that ``our research program has been structured
and, as the President has reaffirmed, will continue to
be conducted in accordance with a restrictive
interpretation of the treaty's obligations''.
(4) The President has determined that the Krasnoyarsk
rather is a violation of the ABM Treaty.
(5) The Krasnoyarsk radar therefore erodes the
integrity of the ABM Treaty and is a matter of serious
concern.
(b) Congressional Declarations.--The Congress therefore
declares--
(1) that it fully supports the declared policy of the
President that a principal objective of the United
States in negotiations with the Soviet Union on nuclear
and space arms is to reverse the erosion of the Treaty
between the United States of America and the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics on the Limitation of Anti-
Ballistic Missile Systems, signed on May 26, 1972
(commonly referred to as the ``ABM Treaty''); and
(2) that action by the Congress in approving funds in
this Act for research on the Strategic Defense
Initiative--
(A) does not express or imply an intention on
the part of Congress that the United States
should abrogate, violate, or otherwise erode
such treaty; and
(B) does not express or imply any
determination or commitment on the part of
Congress that the United States develop, test,
or deploy ballistic missile strategic defense
weaponry that would contravene such treaty.
SEC. 217. REPORT ON THE ANTI-BALLISTIC MISSILE TREATY
(a) Report on Less Restrictive Interpretation.--The
Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report
concerning the effect of the less restrictive interpretation of
the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty on the Strategic Defense
Initiative program.
(b) Matters To Be Included.--The report shall include the
following:
(1) An analysis of the ramifications of the less
restrictive interpretation on the development under the
Strategic Defense Initiative Program, of strategic
defenses, including comprehensive strategic defense
systems, and more limited defenses designed to protect
vital United States military and command and control
assets, based on ``other physical principles''. This
analysis should compare research and development
programs pursued under both the restrictive and less
restrictive interpretations of such treaty including a
comparative analysis of--
(A) the overall cost of the research and
development programs.
(B) the schedule of the research and
development programs, and
(C) the level of confidence attained in the
research and development programs with respect
to supporting a full-scale engineering
development decision in the early 1990's.
(2) A list of options under the less restrictive
interpretation of such treaty that meet one or more of
the following objectives:
(A) Reduction of the overall development
cost.
(B) Advancement of the schedule for a full-
scale engineering development decision.
(C) Increase in the level of confidence in
the results of the research by the original
full-scale development date.
(c) Deadline for Report.--The report under subsection (a)
shall be submitted not later than February 1, 1987.

SEC. 1368. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE DEATH OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL
ARTHUR D. NICHOLSON, JUNIOR
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) On March 24, 1985, Lieutenant Colonel Arthur D.
Nicholson, Junior, of the United States Army (then
holding the grade of major) was carrying out his
official duties as a liaison officer of the United
States Military Liaison Mission.
(2) On that date, Lieutenant Colonel Nicholson was
performing his duties in uniform and in an open and
direct manner, according to orders, and was conducting
himself in a way which was neither provocative nor
beyond the limits of proper conduct for members of the
United States Military Liaison Mission, and which was
well understood and accepted by the Soviet Union.
(3) On that date, a member or members of the armed
forces of the Soviet Union shot and fatally wounded
Lieutenant Colonel Nicholson without warning and
without provocation.
(4) After having shot Lieutenant Colonel Nicholson,
members of the armed forces of the Soviet Union
forcibly restrained Lieutenant Colonel Nicholson's aide
and prevented him from providing medical assistance to
Lieutenant Colonel Nicholson, so that Lieutenant
Colonel Nicholson died slowly and with great suffering,
which death and suffering might have been prevented had
Lieutenant Colonel Nicholson been permitted to receive
assistance.
(5) The death of Lieutenant Colonel Nicholson was an
untimely, unnecessary, cold-blooded murder committed
against a United States military officer in pursuit of
his official duties by a member or members of the armed
forces of the Soviet Union, in a painful and degrading
manner.
(b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress deplores and condemns
the cold-blooded murder of Lieutenant Colonel Arthur D.
Nicholson, Junior. It is the sense of Congress that the
Government of the Soviet Union should--
(1) apologize for and renounce the murder of
Lieutenant Colonel Nicholson; and
(2) indemnify the family of Lieutenant Colonel
Nicholson financially.
* * * * * * *
SEC. 1371. NUCLEAR WINTER STUDY AND REPORT
(a) Study.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a
comprehensive study on the atmospheric, climatic, biological,
health, and environmental consequences of nuclear explosions
and nuclear exchanges and the implications that such
consequences have for the nuclear weapons, arms control, and
civil defense policies of the United States.
(b) Report.--Not later than November 1, 1987, the Secretary
shall submit to the President and the Congress an unclassified
report suitable for release to the public, with classified
addenda if necessary, on the study conducted under subsection
(a). The report shall contain the following:
(1) A detailed review and assessment of the findings
in the current body of domestic and international
scientific literature on the atmospheric, climatic,
biological, health, and environmental consequences of
nuclear explosions and nuclear exchanges.
(2) A thorough evaluation of the implications that
such findings have on--
(A) the nuclear weapons policy of the United
States, especially with regard to strategy,
targeting, planning, command, control,
procurement, and deployment;
(B) the nuclear arms control policy of the
United States; and
(C) the civil defense policy of the United
States.
(3) A discussion of the manner in which the results
of such evaluation of policy implications will be
incorporated into the nuclear weapons, arms control,
and civil defense policies of the United States.
(4) An analysis of the extent to which current
scientific findings on the consequences of nuclear
explosions are being studied, disseminated, and used in
the Soviet Union.
(5) A plan for a five-year research program to
advance understanding of nuclear winter and an estimate
of the funding necessary to carry out such a research
program.
(c) Evaluation of Report.--Upon submission of the report
under subsection (b), the Secretary shall contract with the
National Academy of Sciences to--
(1) make an independent evaluation of the material
contained in the report; and

(b) Sense of the Congress.--In view of the findings in
subsection (a), it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the revitalization of the capability of the
special operations forces of the Armed Forces should be
pursued as a matter of the highest priority;
(2) personnel and other resources allocations should
reflect the priority referred to in paragraph (1);
(3) the political and military sensitivity and the
importance to national security of the special
operations forces require that the Office of the
Secretary of Defense should improve its management
supervision of such forces in all aspects of the
special operations mission area;
(4) the joint command and control of the special
operations forces must permit direct and immediate
access by the President and Secretary of Defense; and
(5) the commanders-in-chief of the unified commands
should have available, within their operational areas
of responsibility, sufficient special operations assets
to execute the operations plans for which they are
responsible or to support additional contingency
operations directed from the national level.

same as if no resolution had been received from
the other House; but
(ii) the vote on final passage shall be on
the resolution of the other House.
(6) This subsection is enacted by Congress--
(A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the
Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, and
as such it is deemed a part of the rules of each House,
respectively, but applicable only with respect to the
procedure to be followed in that House in the case of a
resolution described in paragraph (1), and it
supercedes other rules only to the extent that it is
inconsistent with such rules; and

sense of congress concerning introduction of united states armed forces
into central america for combat
Sec. 310.\7\ (a) The Congress makes the following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ 50 U.S.C. 1541 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The President has stated that there is no need to
introduce United States Armed Forces into Central
America for combat and that he has no intention of
doing so.
(2) The President of El Salvador has stated that
there is no need for United States Armed Forces to
conduct combat operations in El Salvador and that he
has no intention of asking that they do so.
(3) The possibility of the introduction of United
States Armed Forces into Central America for combat
raises very grave concern in the Congress and the
American people.
(b) It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) United States Armed Forces should not be
introduced into or over the countries of Central
America for combat; and
(2) if circumstances change from those present on the
date of the enactment of this Act and the President
believes that those changed circumstances require the
introduction of United States Armed Forces into or over
a country of Central America for combat, the President
should consult with Congress before any decision to so
introduce United States Armed Forces and any such
introduction of United States Armed Forces must comply
with the War Powers Resolution.

TITLE VI--COMPENSATION AND OTHER PERSONNEL BENEFITS
* * * * * * *
personal vehicles of united states military personnel in japan
Sec. 653. (a) The Congress finds that--
(1) the Government of Japan does not permit members
of the Armed Forces of the United States to take their
motor vehicles into Japan for their personal use while
assigned to a duty station in Japan unless such
vehicles are modified to satisfy certain requirements
of the Government of Japan;
(2) as a result of the restriction referred to in
clause (1), members of the Armed Forces typically need
to sell their personal motor vehicles before departing
the United States to report to a duty station in Japan,
to purchase vehicles in Japan for personal use while
stationed in Japan, to sell such purchased vehicles
before departing Japan to return to the United States,
and to purchase vehicles in the United States upon
their return;
(3) members of the Armed Forces incur a substantial
financial burden in connection with the repeated sale
and replacement of personal vehicles;
(4) the United States permits members of the Armed
Forces of foreign nations to bring unmodified vehicles
into the United States for their personal use while
assigned to duty stations in the United States; and
(5) the United States provides a substantial
contribution to the defense of Japan and the waters
surrounding Japan.
(b) Considering the findings set out in subsection (a), it
is the sense of the Congress that the President, acting through
the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State, should
enter into negotiations with the Government of Japan for the
purpose of obtaining the agreement of such government not to
require the modification of the personal motor vehicles of
members of the Armed Forces of the United States brought into
Japan for the personal use while stationed in Japan.
(c) Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment
of this Act, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of
State shall transmit to the Congress a written report relating
to the matters described in subsection (a). The report shall
include--
(1) a description of any negotiations carried out
with the Government of Japan; and
(2) a description of the other actions the Government
of the United States can reasonably take to obtain an
agreement described in subsection (b).

TITLE X--MATTERS RELATING TO NATO AND OTHER ALLIES
sense of congress relating to increase in defense spending by united
states allies
Sec. 1001.\8\ It is the sense of Congress that the
President--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ 22 U.S.C. 1928 note. See also sec. 1046--Defense Cost-Sharing--
in Public Law 102-190 (105 Stat. 1466).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) should call on the pertinent member nations of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to meet or
exceed their pledges for an annual increase in defense
spending during fiscal years 1984 and 1985 of at least
3 percent real growth; and
(2) should call on Japan to further increase its
defense spending during fiscal years 1984 and 1985;
in furtherance of increased unity; equitable sharing of the
common defense burden, and international stability.
improvements to nato conventional capability
Sec. 1002.\8\ (a) The Congress finds--
(1) that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) should improve its conventional defense
capability so as to lengthen the period of time that
Western Europe can be defended by conventional forces
without the necessity of resorting to the early use of
nuclear weapons in the event of a non-nuclear attack on
any NATO member country;
(2) that fulfillment by NATO member nations of their
goals and commitments to increase defense spending,
improve conventional sustainability, and provide
support facilities in Western Europe for rapid
reinforcements from the United States is crucial to
accomplishing that objective; and
(3) that an increase over current United States
military personnel levels in European member nations of
NATO can be justified only if these goals and
commitments are substantially met by NATO member
nations (other than the United States).
(b) The Congress urges the President and the Secretary of
Defense to continue to encourage member nations of NATO (other
than the United States) to work expeditiously to fulfill the
following commitments they have undertaken:
(1) To achieve and maintain an annual increase in
their defense spending of at least 3 percent after
inflation.
(2) To acquire a 30-day supply of air and ground
munitions among those NATO members which have committed
forces to the Northern, Center, and Southern Regions.
(3) To construction of the number of minimum
essential and emergency operating facilities and
semihardened aircraft shelters in Western Europe
required by NATO Ministerial Guidance to support, under
NATO/SHAPE standards, as a minimum, the annual
commitment of United States reinforcing tactical
aircraft.
(c) \9\ (1) The end strength level of members of the Armed
Forces of the United States assigned to permanent duty ashore
in European member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization may not exceed a permanent ceiling of
approximately 100,000 in any fiscal year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ Sec. 1303(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1995 (Public Law 103-337; 108 Stat. 2889) amended and
restated subsec. (c)(1), effective October 1, 1995. The paragraph
formerly read as follows, as amended:
``(c)(1) No appropriated funds may be used to support an end
strength level of members of the Armed Forces of the United States
assigned to permanent duty ashore in European member nations of NATO at
any level exceeding a permanent ceiling of 235,700. The Secretary of
Defense may exceed such permanent ceiling in any year by a number equal
to not more than \1/2\ of 1 percent for the purpose of achieving sound
management in the rotation of members of the Armed Forces of the United
States to and from assignment to permanent duty ashore in European
member nations of NATO, but only if the Secretary determines that the
increase in such year is necessary for such purpose. In any fiscal year
for which the permanent ceiling specified in the first sentence of this
subsection is 235,700, the President may authorize an end strength
level of members of the Armed Forces assigned to permanent duty ashore
in European member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization at
a level not to exceed 261,855 if the President determines that the
national security interests of the United States require such
authorization. Whenever the President exercises the authority provided
under the preceding sentence, the President shall notify Congress of
that determination and of the necessity for exceeding such permanent
ceiling.''.
The paragraph had been previously amended by sec. 1101 of the
Department of Defense Authorization Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-145; 99
Stat. 707); sec. 911 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (Public Law 101-189; 103 Stat. 1523); sec.
406 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991
(Public Law 101-510; 104 Stat. 1546); and sec. 1042(a) and (b) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993
(Public Law 102-190; 105 Stat. 1462);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) If the Secretary of Defense certifies to the Congress
in writing during any fiscal year after fiscal year 1985 that
during the previous fiscal year the member nations of NATO
(other than the United States) have undertaken significant
measures to improve their conventional defense capacity
consistent with the goals set forth in subsection (b) which
contributes to lengthening the time period between an armed
attack on any NATO country and the time the Supreme Allied
Commander, Europe, would have to request the release and use of
nuclear weapons, the Congress would give strong consideration
to authorizing an increase in the permanent ceiling prescribed
in paragraph (1) for fiscal years after such fiscal year.
(3) \10\ For purposes of this subsection, the following
members of the Armed Forces are excluded in calculating the end
strength level of members of the Armed Forces of the United
States assigned to permanent duty ashore in European member
nations of NATO:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ Sec. 1303(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1995 (Public Law 103-337; 108 Stat. 2889) added para. (3).
It was amended and restated by sec. 1334(a) of Public Law 104-106 (110
Stat. 484).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A) Members assigned to permanent duty ashore in
Iceland, Greenland, and the Azores.
(B) Members performing duties in Europe for more than
179 days under a military-to-military contact program
under section 168 of title 10, United States Code.
(d) \11\ * * * [Repealed--1999]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ Repealed by sec. 1032(b)(4) of Public Law 106-65 (113 Stat.
751), sec. 1002(d) had required an annual report from the Secretary of
Defense on NATO supplies, facilities, and semihardened aircraft
shelters as they related to the United States commitment of reinforcing
aircraft in the United States Defense Planning Questionnaire (DPQ)
Response.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(e)(1) The Congress finds that a viable ``two-way street''
of defense procurement improves NATO interoperability and
therefore is important to overall improvements in conventional
defense.
(2) In addition to any funds appropriated pursuant to the
authorization contained in section 201 for the activities of
the Director of Test and Evaluation, Defense, the Director may
use an additional amount, not to exceed $50,000,000, to acquire
certain types of weapons, subsystems, and munitions of European
NATO manufacture for side-by-side testing with comparable
United States manufactured items. Such additional amount shall
be derived from any funds appropriated pursuant to an
authorization contained in this Act. Items that may be acquired
under this paragraph include submunitions and dispensers, anti-
tank and anti-armor guided missiles, mines, runway-cratering
devices, torpedoes, mortar systems, light armored vehicles, and
high-velocity anti-tank guns.
(f)(1) This section shall not apply in the event of a
declaration of war or an armed attack on any NATO member
country.
(2) This section may be waived by the President if he
declares an emergency and immediately informs the Congress of
his action and the reasons therefor.
report on allied contributions to the common defense
Sec. 1003.\12\ (a) In recognition of the increasing
military threat faced by the Western World and in view of the
growth, relative to the United States, in the economic strength
of Japan, Canada, and a number of Western European countries
which has occurred since the signing of the North Atlantic
Treaty on April 4, 1949, and the Mutual Cooperation and
Security Treaty between Japan and the United States on January
19, 1960, it is the sense of the Congress that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ 22 U.S.C. 1928 note. Sec. 324 of Public Law 102-484 (106 Stat.
2367) provided the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``sec. 324. overseas environmental restoration.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that in
carrying out environmental restoration activities at military
installations outside the United States, the President should seek to
obtain an equitable division of the costs of environmental restoration
with the nation in which the installation is located.
``(b) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall include in each
Report on Allied Contributions to the Common Defense prepared under
section 1003 of Public Law 98-525 (22 U.S.C. 1928) information, in
classified and unclassified form, describing the efforts undertaken and
the progress made by the President in carrying out subsection (a)
during the period covered by the report.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) the burdens of mutual defense now assumed by some
of the countries allied with the United States under
those agreements are not commensurate with their
economic resources;
(2) since May 1978, when each member nation of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) agreed to
increase real defense spending annually in the range of
3 percent, most NATO members, except for the United
States, have failed to meet the 3 percent real growth
commitment consistently;
(3) since May 1981, when the Government of Japan
established its policy to defend the air and sea lines
of communication out to 1,000 nautical miles from the
coast of Japan, progress to develop the necessary self-
defense capabilities to fulfill that pledge has been
extremely disappointing;
(4) Japan is the ally of the United States with the
greatest potential for improving its self-defense
capabilities and should, therefore, rapidly increase
its annual defense spending to the levels required to
fulfill that pledge and to enable Japan to be capable
of an effective conventional self-defense capability by
1990, including the capability to carry out its 1,000-
mile defense policy, a development that would be
consonant not only with Japan's current prominent
position in the family of nations but also with its
unique sensibilities on the issues of war and peace,
sensibilities that are recognized and respected by the
people of the United States; and
(5) the continued unwillingness of such countries to
increase their contributions to the common defense to
more appropriate levels will endanger the vitality,
effectiveness, and cohesion of the alliances between
those countries and the United States.
(b) It is further the sense of the Congress that the
President should seek from each signatory country (other than
the United States) of the two treaties referred to in
subsection (a) acceptance of international security
responsibilities and an agreement to make contributions to the
common defense which are commensurate with the economic
resources of such country, including, when appropriate, an
increase in host nation support.
(c) \13\ The Secretary of Defense shall submit to the
Congress by March 1, 1998, and every other year thereafter, not
later than April 1,\14\ a classified report containing--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ Sec. 1412(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160; 107 Stat. 1829) provided the
following:
``(c) Finding and Sense of Congress.--(1) The Congress finds that
the Secretary of Defense did not submit to Congress in a timely manner
the report on allied contributions to the common defense required under
section 1003(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (Public
Law 98-525; 22 U.S.C. 1928 note), to be submitted not later than April
1, 1993.
``(2) It is the sense of Congress that the timely submission of
such report to Congress each year is essential to the deliberation by
Congress concerning the annual defense program.''.
\14\ Sec. 1312(c)(3) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1991 (Public Law 101-510; 104 Stat. 1670) struck out
``March 1'' and inserted in lieu thereof ``April 1''. Subsequently,
sec. 1084(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1997 (Public Law 104-201; 110 Stat. 2675) struck out ``each year'', and
inserted in lieu thereof ``by March 1, 1998, and every other year
thereafter''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) a comparison of the fair and equitable shares of
the mutual defense burdens of these alliances that
should be borne by the United States, by other member
nations of NATO, and by Japan based upon economic
strength and other relevant factors, and the actual
defense efforts of each nation together with an
explanation of disparities that currently exist and
their impact on mutual defense efforts;
(2) a description of efforts by the United States and
the efforts of other members of the alliances to
eliminate any existing disparities;
(3) projected estimates of the real growth in defense
spending for the fiscal year in which the report is
submitted for each NATO member nation;
(4) a description of the defense-related initiatives
undertaken by each NATO member nation within the real
growth in defense spending of such nation in the fiscal
year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the
report is submitted;
(5) an explanation of those instances in which the
commitments to real growth in defense spending have not
been realized and a description of efforts being made
by the United States to ensure fulfillment of these
important NATO commitments;
(6) a description of the activities of each NATO
member and Japan to enhance the security and stability
of the Southwest Asia region and to assume additional
missions for their own defense as the United States
allocates additional resources to the mission of

by the system of Western Alliances; and
(7) a description of what additional actions the
executive branch plans to take should the efforts by
the United States referred to in clauses (2) and (5)
fail, and, in those instances where such additional
actions do not include consideration of the
repositioning of American troops, a detailed
explanation as to why such repositioning is not being
so considered.
(d) The Secretary of Defense shall also submit to the
Congress not more than 30 days after the submission of the
report required under subsection (a) an unclassified report
containing the matters set forth in clauses (1) through (7) of
such subsection.

report on americans unaccounted for or missing in indochina
Sec. 1525. (a) The Congress finds that--
(1) the President has declared that the issue of the

supports these initiatives and realizes that the
fullest possible accounting of those Americans can only
be achieved with the cooperation of those governments;
(3) the Government of the Lao People's Democratic
Republic has recently taken positive actions to assist
the United States Government in resolving the status of

supplies to foreign countries \18\
Sec. 1540. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
during fiscal year 1987,\19\ the Secretary of Defense may
transport on a space available basis, at no charge, to any
country in any area of the world \18\ goods and supplies which
have been furnished by a nongovernmental source and which are
intended for humanitarian assistance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ Sec. 306(a) and (b) of the Department of Defense Authorization
Act, 1986 (Public Law 99-145; 99 Stat. 617), amended sec. 1540(a) and
the caption above it by authorizing transport to ``foreign countries''
or to ``any area of the world'' in lieu of ``Central America''.
\19\ Sec. 332 of Public Law 99-661 (100 Stat. 3857) struck out
``fiscal years 1985 and 1986'' and inserted in lieu thereof ``fiscal
year 1987''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b)(1) The President shall institute procedures, including
complete inspection prior to acceptance for transport, for
determining that--
(A) the transport of any goods and supplies
transported under this section is consistent with
foreign policy objectives;
(B) the goods and supplies to be transported are
suitable for humanitarian purposes and are in usable
condition;
(C) there is a legitimate humanitarian need for such
goods and supplies;
(D) the goods and supplies will in fact be used for
humanitarian purposes; and
(E) there are adequate arrangements for the
distribution of such goods and supplies in the country
of destination.
(2) Goods and supplies determined not to meet the criteria
of paragraph (1) may not be transported under this section.
(3) It shall be the responsibility of the donor to ensure
that goods or supplies to be transported under this section are
suitable for transport.
(c) Goods and supplies transported under this section may
be distributed by an agency of the United States Government, a
foreign government, or international organization, or a private
nonprofit relief organization. The Secretary of Defense may not
accept any goods or supplies for transportation under this
section unless verification of adequate arrangements has been
received in advance for distribution of such goods and
supplies.
(d) Goods or supplies transported under this section may
not be distributed, directly or indirectly, to any individual,
group, or organization engaged in military or paramilitary
activity.
(e) No later than 90 days after the date of the enactment
of this section, and every 60 days thereafter, the Secretary of
State shall report to the Congress concerning the origin,
contents, destination, and disposition of all goods and
supplies transported under this section.
Part E--Other Miscellaneous Matters
survivors of the glomar java sea
Sec. 1541. (a) The Congress finds that--
(1) on October 26, 1983, the United States registered
oil drilling ship Glomar Java Sea was reported missing
during stormy weather at its drilling site 60 miles off
Hainan Island in the South China Sea and was found
sunken near its drilling site on November 1, 1983;
(2) no evidence has been found of 46 of the 81
crewmen, including citizens of the United States, or of
the lifeboats which, reportedly, were launched from the
Glomar Java Sea, despite an intensive cooperative
search involving United States military search and
rescue aircraft and commercial vessels;
(3) the Chairman of the United States Coast Guard
Marine Board of Investigation has concluded that it is
possible that crewmembers of the Glomar Java Sea
survived and drifted into waters near the coast of
Vietnam; and
(4) the Government of Vietnam has refused to allow an
independent search for the possible survivors to be
conducted in waters within 20 miles of such coast.
(b) Considering the findings set out in subsection (a), it
is the sense of the Congress that the President should, through
all appropriate bilateral and multilateral channels, continue
and accelerate the effort to obtain the cooperation of the
Government of Vietnam in ascertaining the fate or locations of
the 46 crewmen of the sunken United States registered vessel
Glomar Java Sea.
policy regarding the furnishing of food and medical supplies to
afghanistan
Sec. 1542. (a) The Congress finds--
(1) that after more than four years of occupation by
the military forces of the Soviet Union, the freedom-
loving people of Afghanistan continue to resist the
oppression of the Soviet Union;
(2) that the current Soviet Union offensive has
resulted in great suffering and destruction in
Afghanistan and has intensified the Soviet policy which
targets civilian populations; and
(3) that this ``scorched earth'' policy of the Soviet
Union, which has resulted in the destruction of crops,
food supplies, farms, hospitals, and other public
buildings in Afghanistan, has been a desperate attempt
on the part of the Soviet Union to subdue the
population of that country or to force the depopulation
of certain areas which the occupying forces of the
Soviet Union are unable to control.
(b) It is, therefore, the sense of Congress that the free
world should take all appropriate steps to ensure that the
people of Afghanistan have the necessary food and medical
supplies adequate to sustain themselves while they are being
ravaged by the invading forces of the Soviet Union.
reaffirmation of united states policy toward cuba
Sec. 1543. (a) It is the policy of the Government of the
United States to continue in its relations with the Government
of Cuba the policy set forth in the joint resolution entitled
``Joint resolution expressing the determination of the United
States with respect to the situation in Cuba'', approved by the
President on October 3, 1962 (Public Law 87-733; 76 Stat.
697).\20\

otherwise affect the standards and procedures provided in the
National Security Act of 1947, the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961, or the War Powers Resolution. This section does not
constitute the statutory authorization for introduction of
United States Armed Forces contemplated by the War Powers
Resolution.
report on use of cuban and russian nickel in defense procurements
Sec. 1544. Not later than April 1, 1985, the Secretary of
Defense shall submit to Congress a report on the effects on the
national security of the United States of procurement by the
Department of Defense of products containing nickel produced in
Cuba or the Soviet Union. The report shall be prepared after
consultation with the Secretaries of Commerce, the Interior,
and the Treasury.

TITLE XI--NATO AND RELATED MATTERS
north atlantic defense cooperative programs
Sec. 1101. In order to fulfill the international
obligations incurred by the United States under the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization's Long-Term Defense Program for
the rapid reinforcement of Europe, and recognizing that such
action is in the national interest of the United States, the
Secretary of Defense shall carry out commitments of the United
States under the United States-German Wartime Host Nation
Support Agreement of April 15, 1982, and under the
Prepositioned Materiel Configured in Unit Sets (POMCUS) program
by the earliest practicable date. The Secretary of Defense
shall include in his annual report to the Congress a statement
describing the status of implementation of such agreement and
program, including his assessment of whether our allies are
bearing their equitable share under such agreement and program
and whether the implementation of such agreement and program
adversely affects the readiness of the reserve components of
the Armed Forces of the United States.
report on allied contributions to the common defense
Sec. 1102.\1\ (a) In recognition of the increasing military
threat faced by the Western World and in view of the growth,
relative to the United States, in the economic strength of
Japan, Canada, and a number of Western European countries which
has occurred since the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on
April 4, 1949, and the Mutual Cooperation and Security treaty
between Japan and the United States on January 19, 1960, it is
the sense of the Congress that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 22 U.S.C. 1928 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) the burdens of mutual defense now assumed by some
of the countries allied with the United States under
those agreements are not commensurate with their
economic resources;
(2) since May 1978, when each NATO member nation
agreed to increase real defense spending annually in
the range of 3 percent, most NATO members, except for
the United States, have failed to meet the 3 percent
real growth commitment consistently and performance
toward this goal in 1983 is estimated to be the most
deficient, on average, since the goal was established;
(3) since May 1981, when the Government of Japan
established its policy to defend the air and sea lines
of communication out to 1,000 nautical miles from the
coast of Japan, progress to develop the necessary self-
defense capabilities to fulfill that pledge has been
extremely disappointing;
(4) Japan is the ally of the United States with the
greatest potential for improving its self-defense
capabilities and should, therefore, rapidly increase
its annual defense spending to the levels required to
fulfill that pledge and to enable Japan to be capable
of an effective conventional self-defense capability by
1990, including the capability to carry out its 1,000-
mile defense policy, a development that would be
consonant not only with Japan's current prominent
position in the family of nations but also with its
unique sensibilities on the issues of war and peace,
sensibilities that are recognized and respected by the
people of the United States; and
(5) the continued unwillingness of such countries to
increase their contributions to the common defense to
more appropriate levels will endanger the vitality,
effectiveness, and cohesiveness of the alliances
between those countries and the United States.
(b) It is further the sense of the Congress that the
President should seek from each signatory country (other than
the United States) of the two treaties referred to in
subsection (a) acceptance of international security
responsibilities and an agreement to make contributions to the
common defense which are commensurate with the economic
resources of such country, including, when appropriate, an
increase in host nation support.
(c)(1) The Secretary of Defense shall submit to the
Congress not later than March 1, 1984, a classified report
containing--
(A) a comparison of the fair and equitable shares of
the mutual defense burdens of these alliances that
should be borne by the United States, by other member
nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO), and by Japan, based upon economic strength and
other relevant factors, and the actual defense efforts
of each nation together with an explanation of
disparities that currently exist and their impact on
mutual defense efforts;
(B) a description of efforts by the United States and
of other efforts to eliminate existing disparities;
(C) estimates of the real growth in defense spending
in fiscal year 1983 projected for each NATO member
nation compared with the annual real growth goal in the
range of 3 percent set in May 1978;
(D) a description of the defense-related initiatives
undertaken by each NATO member nation within the real
growth in defense spending of such nation in fiscal
year 1984;
(E) an explanation of those instances in which the
commitments to real growth in defense spending have not
been realized and a description of efforts being made
by the United States to ensure fulfillment of these
important NATO commitments;
(F) a description of the activities of each NATO
member and Japan to enhance the security and stability
of the Southwest Asia region and to assume additional
missions for their own defense as the United States
allocates additional resources to the mission of
protecting Western interests in world areas not covered
by the system of Western Alliances; and
(G) a description of what additional actions the
executive branch plans to take should the efforts by
the United States referred to in clauses (B) and (E)
fail, and, in those instances where such additional
actions do not include consideration of the
repositioning of American troops, a detailed
explanation as to why such repositioning is not being
so considered.
(2) The Secretary of Defense shall also submit to the
Congress not more than 30 days after the submission of the
report required under paragraph (1) an unclassified report
containing the matters set forth in clauses (A) through (G) of
such paragraph.
limitation on number of military personnel stationed in europe
Sec. 1103. (a) Except as provided in subsections (b) and
(c), none of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this or
any other Act may be used for the purpose of supporting an end-

Organization (NATO) at any level in excess of 315,600.
(b) A number of United States military personnel in excess
of 315,600, but not in excess of 320,000, may be permanently
assigned to duty ashore in such European nations as of
September 30, 1984, if--
(1) the Secretary of Defense determines and certifies
to the Congress in writing that on September 30, 1984,
the total number of military personnel of NATO member
nations, other than the United States, stationed in the
Federal Republic of Germany will not be less than the
total number of military personnel of such member
nations stationed in that country on the date of the
enactment of this Act;
(2) the Secretary of Defense certifies to the
Congress in writing on or after June 1, 1984, that the
budget for the Department of Defense for fiscal year
1985 and the Five-Year Defense Plan of the Department

significant priority to programs directly intended to
improve NATO's conventional capabilities, particularly
its capability for deep interdiction;
(3) the Department of Defense has conducted a
thorough and detailed analysis of the United States
force and support structure in Europe which the
Secretary of Defense submits to Congress on or after
June 1, 1984, with his certification in writing that a
number of United States military personnel in excess of
315,600 is required to meet the United States
commitment to NATO; and
(4) the studies required by sections 1104 through
1107 have been conducted and the reports and
recommendations resulting from such studies have been
submitted to the Congress.
(c) A number of United States military personnel in excess
of 315,600 or in excess of 320,000 may be assigned to permanent
duty ashore in European member nations of NATO as of September
30, 1984, without the conditions specified in subsection (b)
having been met if the President (1) determines and certifies
to the Congress in writing that overriding national security
interests require a number of such personnel to be assigned to
permanent duty ashore in such nations in excess of 315,600 or
320,000, as the case may be, and (2) includes in the
certification the total number of such personnel required and
an explanation of the overriding national security interests
that require such number of personnel.
(d) In computing the limitation specified in subsections
(a) and (b), there may be excluded not more than 2,600 military
personnel assigned to the Ground Launched Cruise Missile
program and the Pershing II Missile program.

Sec. 1122.\1\ (a) The Congress finds that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 22 U.S.C. 1928 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) the United States remains firmly committed to
cooperating closely with its North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (hereinafter in this section referred to
as ``NATO'') allies in protecting liberty and
maintaining world peace;
(2) the financial burden of providing for the defense
of Western Europe and for the protection of the
interests of NATO member countries in areas outside the
NATO treaty area has reached such proportions that new
cooperative approaches among the United States and its
NATO allies are required to achieve and maintain an
adequate collective defense at acceptable costs;
(3) the need for a credible conventional deterrent in
Western Europe has long been recognized in theory but
has never been fully addressed in practice;
(4) a more equitable sharing by NATO member countries
of both the burdens and the technological and economic
benefits of the common defense would do much to
reinvigorate the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
alliance with a restored sense of unity and common
purposes;
(5) a decision to coordinate more effectively the
enormous technological, industrial, and economic
resources of NATO member countries will not only
increase the efficiency and effectiveness of NATO
military expenditures but also provide inducement for
the Soviet Union to enter into a meaningful arms
reduction agreement so that both Warsaw Pact countries
and NATO member countries can devote more of their
energies and resources to peaceful and economically
more beneficial pursuits.
(b) It is the sense of the Congress that the President
should propose to the heads of government of the NATO member
countries that the NATO allies of the United States join the
United States in agreeing--
(1) to coordinate more effectively their defense
efforts and resources to create, at acceptable costs, a
credible, collective, conventional force for the
defense of the North Atlantic Treaty area;
(2) to establish a cooperative defense-industrial
effort within Western Europe and between Western Europe
and North America that would increase the efficiency
and effectiveness of NATO expenditures by providing a
larger production base while eliminating unnecessary
duplication of defense-industrial efforts;
(3) to share more equitably and efficiently the
financial burdens, as well as the economic benefits
(including jobs, technology, and trade) of NATO
defense; and
(4) to intensify consultations promptly for the early
achievement of the objectives described in clauses (1)
through (3).
study of improved control of use of nuclear weapons
Sec. 1123. (a) The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a
full and complete study and evaluation of possible initiatives
for improving the containment and control of the use of nuclear
weapons, particularly during crises. Such study and evaluation
shall include consideration of the following:
(1) Establishment of a multi-national military crisis
control center for monitoring and containing the use or
potential use of nuclear weapons by third parties or
terrorist groups.
(2) Development of a forum through which the United
States and the Soviet Union could exchange information
pertaining to nuclear weapons that could potentially be
used by third parties or terrorist groups.
(3) Development of measures for building confidence
between the United States and the Soviet Union for
improved crisis stability and arms control, including--
(A) an improved United States/Soviet Union
communications hotline for crisis control;
(B) improved procedures for verification of
any arms control agreements;
(C) measures to reduce the vulnerability of
command, control, and communications of both
nations; and
(D) measures to lengthen the warning time
each nation would have of potential nuclear
attack.
(b) The Secretary of Defense shall submit a report of the
study and evaluation under subsection (a) to the Committees on
Armed Services and Foreign Relations of the Senate and the
Committees on Armed Services and Foreign Affairs of the House
of Representatives by February 1, 1983.\2\ Such report should
be available in both a classified, if necessary, and
unclassified format.

references to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives shall be treated as referring to the Committee on
National Security of the House of Representatives. Sec. 1(a)(5) of that
Act provided that references to the Committee on Foreign Affairs shall
be treated as referring to the Committee on International Relations.
The Committee on National Security subsequently returned to the name

(113 Stat. 774).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) The President shall report to the Committees on Armed
Services and Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committees
on Armed Services and Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives by March 1, 1983,\2\ on the merits to the arms
control process of the initiatives developed under the study
and evaluation required by subsection (a) and on the status of
any such initiative as it may relate to any arms control
negotiation with the Soviet Union.
negotiations for banning of chemical weapons
Sec. 1124. It is the sense of Congress that the President
should--
(1) continue to promote actively negotiations among
the member countries of the Ad Hoc Working Group on
Chemical Warfare of the Committee on Disarmament
established by the United Nations General Assembly and
meeting in Geneva, Switzerland for the purpose of
drafting a treaty for the complete, effective, and
verifiable prohibition of the development, production,
and stockpiling of all chemical weapons and for their
destruction;
(2) press vigorously in every appropriate forum for a
full explanation of outstanding allegations concerning
Soviet and Soviet-proxy use of chemical weapons in
violation of international law; and
(3) communicate to the Government of the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics the earnest desire of the
Government of the United States for a comprehensive,
verifiable ban on chemical weaponry and the willingness
of the Government of the United States to participate
in negotiations toward this end as soon as the
Government of the United States can be satisfied that
the Soviet Union is not in violation of existing
international accords applying to the prohibition of
first use of chemical weapons and the production and
transfer of biological weapons and that the Soviet
Union is prepared to agree to provisions needed to
ensure the verifiability of an accord banning chemical
warfare.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Agricultural Trade Development
and Assistance Act of 1954''.
SEC. 2.\3\ UNITED STATES POLICY.
It is the policy of the United States to use its abundant
agricultural productivity to promote the foreign policy of the
United States by enhancing the food security of the developing
world through the use of agricultural commodities and local
currencies accruing under this Act to--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 7 U.S.C. 1691.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) combat world hunger and malnutrition and their
causes;
(2) promote broad-based, equitable, and sustainable
development, including agricultural development;
(3) expand international trade;
(4) develop and expand export markets for United
States agricultural commodities; \4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Sec. 3001 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002
(Public Law 107-171; 116 Stat. 280) struck out ``and'' at the end of
para. (4), replaced the period at the end of para. (5) with ``; and'',
and added para. (6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) foster and encourage the development of private
enterprise and democratic participation in developing
countries; and
(6) \4\ prevent conflicts.
SEC. 3.\5\ FOOD AID TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.
(a) Policy.--In light of the Uruguay Round Agreement on
Agriculture and the Ministerial Decision on Measures Concerning
the Possible Negative Effects of the Reform Program on Least-
Developed and Net-Food Importing Developing Countries, the
United States reaffirms the commitment of the United States to
providing food aid to developing countries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ 7 U.S.C. 1691a. Sec. 201(a) of Public Law 104-127 (110 Stat.
951) amended and restated sec. 3. It formerly read as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``sec. 3. global food aid needs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``In view of the principal findings of the National Research
Council of the National Academy of Sciences that doubling food aid
above 1990 levels of about 10,000,000 metric tons per year would be
necessary to meet projected global food needs throughout the decade of
the nineties, it is the sense of Congress that the President should--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``(1) increase the contributions of food aid by the United States, and
encourage other donor countries to increase their contributions toward
meeting new food aid requirements; and
``(2) encourage other advanced nations to make increased food aid
contributions to combat world hunger and malnutrition, particularly through

many countries to repay their loans in dollars. Therefore, the
President may use the authority in section 411 and section 604 of the

African and Caribbean Basin countries need
training in agricultural techniques that are
appropriate for the majority of eligible
agricultural producers in those countries,
including training in--
(i) standard growing practices;
(ii) insecticide and sanitation
procedures; and
(iii) other agricultural methods that
will produce increased yields of more
nutritious and healthful crops;
(B) agricultural producers in the United
States (including African-American agricultural
producers) and banking and insurance
professionals have agribusiness expertise that
would be invaluable for agricultural producers
in sub-Saharan African and Caribbean Basin
countries;
(C) a commitment by the United States is
appropriate to support the development of a
comprehensive agricultural skills training
program for those agricultural producers that
focuses on--
(i) improving knowledge of
insecticide and sanitation procedures
to prevent crop destruction;
(ii) teaching modern agricultural
techniques that would facilitate a
continual analysis of crop production,
including--
(I) the identification and
development of standard growing
practices; and

agricultural knowledge and expertise through
the exchange of American and foreign
agricultural producers have been effective in
promoting improved agricultural techniques and
food security and the extension of additional
resources to such farmer-to-farmer exchanges is
warranted.

hunger;
(C) to provide training to agricultural
producers in those countries in groups to
encourage participants to share and pass on to
other agricultural producers in the home
communities of the participants, the
information and skills obtained from the
training, rather than merely retaining the
information and skills for the personal
enrichment of the participants; and
(D) to maximize the number of beneficiaries
of the programs in sub-Saharan African and
Caribbean Basin countries.

terms. In view of the present financial situation, it is impossible for
many countries to repay their loans in dollars. Therefore, the
President may use the authority in section 411 and section 604 of the

SEC. 3209. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) the international community faces a continuing
epidemic of ethnic, sectarian, and criminal violence;
(2) poverty, hunger, political uncertainty, and
social instability are the principal causes of violence
and conflict around the world;
(3) broad-based, equitable economic growth and
agriculture development facilitates political
stability, food security, democracy, and the rule of
law;
(4) democratic governments are more likely to
advocate and observe international laws, protect civil
and human rights, pursue free market economies, and
avoid external conflicts;
(5) the United States Agency for International
Development has provided critical democracy and
governance assistance to a majority of the nations that
successfully made the transition to democratic
governments during the past 2 decades;
(6) 43 of the top 50 consumer nations of American
agricultural products were once United States foreign
aid recipients;
(7) in the past 50 years, infant child death rates in
the developing world have been reduced by 50 percent,
and health conditions around the world have improved
more during this period than in any other period;
(8) the United States Agency for International
Development child survival programs have significantly
contributed to a 10 percent reduction in infant
mortality rates worldwide in just the past 8 years;
(9) in providing assistance by the United States and
other donors in better seeds and teaching more
efficient agricultural techniques over the past 2
decades have helped make it possible to feed an
additional 1,000,000,000 people in the world;
(10) despite this progress, approximately
1,200,000,000 people, one-quarter of the world's
population, live on less that $1 per day, and
approximately 3,000,000,000 people live on only $2 per
day;
(11) 95 percent of new births occur in developing
countries, including the world's poorest countries; and
(12) only \1/2\ percent of the Federal budget is
dedicated to international economic and humanitarian
assistance.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) United States foreign assistance programs should
play an increased role in the global fight against
terrorism to complement the national security
objectives of the United States;
(2) the United States should lead coordinated
international efforts to provide increased financial
assistance to countries with impoverished and
disadvantaged populations that are the breeding grounds
for terrorism; and
(3) the United States Agency for International
Development and the Department of Agriculture should
substantially increase humanitarian, economic
development, and agricultural assistance to foster
international peace and stability and the promotion of
human rights.
SEC. 3210. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING AGRICULTURAL TRADE.
(a) Agriculture Trade Negotiating Objectives.--It is the
sense of the Senate that the principal negotiating objective of
the United States with respect to agricultural trade in all
multilateral, regional, and bilateral negotiations is to obtain
competitive opportunities for the export of United States
agricultural commodities in foreign markets substantially
equivalent to the competitive opportunities afforded foreign
exports in United States markets and to achieve fairer and more
open conditions of agricultural trade in bulk and value-added
commodities by--
(1) reducing or eliminating, by a date certain,
tariffs or other charges that decrease market
opportunities for the export of United States
agricultural commodities, giving priority to United
States agricultural commodities that are subject to
significantly higher tariffs or subsidy regimes of
major producing countries;
(2) immediately eliminating all export subsidies on
agricultural commodities worldwide while maintaining
bona fide food aid and preserving United States
agricultural market development and export credit
programs that allow the United States to compete with
other foreign export promotion efforts;
(3) leveling the playing field for United States
agricultural producers by disciplining domestic
supports such that no other country can provide greater
support, measured as a percentage of total agricultural
production value, than the United States does while
preserving existing green box category to support
conservation activities, family farms, and rural
communities;
(4) developing, strengthening, and clarifying rules
and effective dispute settlement mechanisms to
eliminate practices that unfairly decrease United
States market access opportunities for United States
agricultural commodities or distort agricultural
markets to the detriment of the United States,
including--
(A) unfair or trade-distorting activities of
state trading enterprises and other
administrative mechanisms, with emphasis on--
(i) requiring price transparency in
the operation of state trading
enterprises and such other mechanisms;
and
(ii) ending discriminatory pricing
practices for agricultural commodities
that amount to de facto export
subsidies so that the enterprises or
other mechanisms do not (except in
cases of bona fide food aid) sell
agricultural commodities in foreign
markets at prices below domestic market
prices or prices below the full costs
of acquiring and delivering
agricultural commodities to the foreign
markets;
(B) unjustified trade restrictions or
commercial requirements affecting new
agricultural technologies, including
biotechnology;
(C) unjustified sanitary or phytosanitary
restrictions, including restrictions that are
not based on scientific principles, in
contravention of the Agreement on the
Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary
Measures (as described in section 101(d)(3) of
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C.
3511(d)(3)));
(D) other unjustified technical barriers to
agricultural trade; and
(E) restrictive and nontransparent rules in
the administration of tariff rate quotas;
(5) improving import relief mechanisms to recognize
the unique characteristics of perishable agricultural
commodities;
(6) taking into account whether a party to
negotiations with respect to trading in an agricultural
commodity has--
(A) failed to adhere to the provisions of an
existing bilateral trade agreement with the
United States;
(B) circumvented obligations under a
multilateral trade agreement to which the
United States is a signatory; or
(C) manipulated its currency value to the
detriment of United States agricultural
producers or exporters; and
(7) otherwise ensuring that countries that accede to
the World Trade Organization--
(A) have made meaningful market
liberalization commitments in agriculture; and
(B) make progress in fulfilling those
commitments over time.
(b) Priority for Agriculture Trade.--It is the sense of the
Senate that--
(1) reaching a successful agreement on agriculture
should be the top priority of United States negotiators
in World Trade Organization talks; and
(2) if the primary export competitors of the United
States fail to reduce their trade distorting domestic
supports and eliminate export subsidies in accordance
with the negotiating objectives expressed in this
section, the United States should take steps to
increase the leverage of United States negotiators and
level the playing field for United States producers,
within existing World Trade Organization commitments.
(c) Consultation With Congressional Committees.--It is the
sense of the Senate that--
(1) before the United States Trade Representative
negotiates a trade agreement that would reduce tariffs
on agricultural commodities or require a change in
United States agricultural law, the United States Trade
Representative should consult with the Committee on
Agriculture and the Committee on Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives and the Committee on
Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry and the Committee
on Finance of the Senate;
(2) not less than 48 hours before initialing an
agreement relating to agricultural trade negotiated
under the auspices of the World Trade Organization, the
United States Trade Representative should consult
closely with the committees referred to in paragraph
(1) regarding--
(A) the details of the agreement;
(B) the potential impact of the agreement on
United States agricultural producers; and
(C) any changes in United States law
necessary to implement the agreement; and
(3) any agreement or other understanding (whether
verbal or in writing) that relates to agricultural
trade that is not disclosed to Congress before
legislation implementing a trade agreement is
introduced in either the Senate or the House of
Representatives should not be considered to be part of
the agreement approved by Congress and should have no
force and effect under Unites \6\ States law or in any
dispute settlement body.

for those in need, his high regard for public
service, and his lively exercise of political

the hungry and poor was an inspiration for
others to work toward the goals of equality and
justice for all.

a special bond of friendship regardless of
political affiliation and worked together to
encourage future leaders to recognize and
provide service to others, and therefore it is

authorized, on such terms and under such regulations as the
Secretary of Agriculture may deem in the public interest: (1)
upon application, to make such commodities available to any
Federal agency for use in making payment for commodities not
produced in the United States; (2) to barter or exchange such
commodities for strategic or other materials as authorized by
law; (3) in the case of food commodities to donate such
commodities to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and to such State,

institutions, including hospitals, to the extent that needy
persons are served.\8\ In the case of clause (3) the Secretary

for food by reason of such donation. In order to facilitate the
appropriate disposal of such commodities, the Secretary may
from time to time estimate and announce the quantity of such
commodities which he anticipates will become available for
distribution under clause (3). The Commodity Credit Corporation
may pay, with respect to commodities disposed of under this
section, reprocessing, packaging, transporting, handling, and
other charges accruing up to the time of their delivery to a
Federal agency, or to the designated State or private agency.
In addition, in the case of food commodities disposed of under

of processing such commodities into a form suitable for home or
institutional use, such processing to be accomplished through
private trade facilities to the greatest extent possible.\9\
For the purpose of this section the terms ``State'' and

\66\ 7 U.S.C. 1736r. Sec. 269 of Public Law 104-127 (110 Stat. 975)
amended and restated sec. 1123. The section previously had authorized
the Secretary of Agriculture to confer with representatives of other
major agricultural producing countries and initiate and pursue
agricultural trade consultations among major agricultural producing
countries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) on a level playing field, United States producers
are the most competitive suppliers of agricultural
products in the world;
(2) exports of United States agricultural products
accounted for $54,000,000,000 in 1995, contributing a
net $24,000,000,000 to the merchandise trade balance of
the United States and supporting approximately
1,000,000 jobs;
(3) increased agricultural exports are critical to
the future of the farm, rural, and overall United
States economy, but the opportunities for increased
agricultural exports are limited by the unfair
subsidies of the competitors of the United States, and
a variety of tariff and nontariff barriers to highly
competitive United States agricultural products;
(4) international negotiations can play a key role in
breaking down barriers to United States agricultural
exports;
(5) the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture made
significant progress in the attainment of increased
market access opportunities for United States exports
of agricultural products, for the first time--
(A) restraining foreign trade-distorting
domestic support and export subsidy programs;
and
(B) developing common rules for the
application of sanitary and phytosanitary
restrictions;
that should result in increased exports of United
States agricultural products, jobs, and income growth
in the United States;
(6) the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture did
not succeed in completely eliminating trade distorting
domestic support and export subsidies by--
(A) allowing the European Union to continue
unreasonable levels of spending on export
subsidies; and
(B) failing to discipline monopolistic state
trading entities, such as the Canadian Wheat
Board, that use nontransparent and
discriminatory pricing as a hidden de facto
export subsidy;
(7) during the period 1996 through 2002, there will
be several opportunities for the United States to
negotiate fairer trade in agricultural products,
including further negotiations under the World Trade
Organization, and steps toward possible free trade
agreements of the Americas and Asian-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC); and
(8) the United States should aggressively use these
opportunities to achieve more open and fair
opportunities for trade in agricultural products.
(b) Goals of the United States in Agricultural Trade
Negotiations.--The objectives of the United States with respect
to future negotiations on agricultural trade include--
(1) increasing opportunities for United States
exports of agricultural products by eliminating tariff
and nontariff barriers to trade;
(2) leveling the playing field for United States
producers of agricultural products by limiting per unit
domestic production supports to levels that are no
greater than those available in the United States;
(3) ending the practice of export dumping by
eliminating all trade distorting export subsidies and
disciplining state trading entities so that they do not
(except in cases of bona fide food aid) sell in foreign
markets at prices below domestic market prices or
prices below their full costs of acquiring and
delivering agricultural products to the foreign
markets; and
(4) encouraging government policies that avoid price-
depressing surpluses.

contract sanctity and producer embargo protection
Sec. 1133.\74\ (a) It is hereby declared to be the policy
of the United States--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\74\ 7 U.S.C. 1736y.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) to foster and encourage the export of
agricultural commodities and the products of such
commodities;
(2) not to restrict or limit the export of such
commodities and products except under the most
compelling circumstances;
(3) that any prohibition or limitation on the export
of such commodities or products should be imposed only
in time of a national emergency declared by the
President under the Export Administration Act; and
(4) that contracts for the export of such commodities
or products entered into before the imposition of any
prohibition or limitation on the export of such
commodities or products should not be abrogated.
study to reduce foreign exchange risk
Sec. 1134. (a) The Secretary of Agriculture shall conduct a
study to determine the feasibility, practicability and cost of
implementing a program to reduce the risk of foreign exchange
fluctuations that is incurred by the purchasers of United
States agricultural exports under United States export credit
promotion programs. The purpose of the study is to examine
whether the GSM-102 program and all other United States export
credit initiatives relating to agricultural exports would be
enhanced by the United States assuming the foreign exchange
risk of the buyer which resulted from a rise in the value of
the United States dollar compared to the trade-weighted index
of the dollar. The index referred to is the ``trade-weighted
index'' published by the Department of Commerce as a
measurement of the relative buying power of the dollar compared
to the currencies of nations trading with the United States.
The elements of the program to be considered in this study
would include the following:
(1) On the date a foreign buyer receives GSM-102 or
other credit for purposes of purchasing United States
agricultural products, the maximum loan repayment
exchange rate would be tied to the trade-weighted value
of the United States dollar on the same date.
(2) If in the future the United States dollar gains
in strength (a higher trade-weighted index), the buyer
would continue to repay the loan at the lower value
fixed at the time the GSM-102 credit was extended.
(3) If the United States dollar falls in value during
the term of the repayment period, the foreign buyer
could calculate his repayment on the lower dollar
value.
(b) Not later than six months after the enactment of this
Act, the Secretary shall report the results of such study to
the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives
and to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of
the Senate.
Subtitle C--Export Transportation of Agricultural Commodities
findings and declarations
Sec. 1141. (a) The Congress finds and declares--
(1) that a productive and healthy agricultural
industry and a strong and active United States maritime
industry are vitally important to the economic well-
being and national security objectives of our Nation;
(2) that both industries must compete in
international markets increasingly dominated by foreign
trade barriers and the subsidization practices of
foreign governments; and
(3) that increased agricultural exports and the
utilization of United States merchant vessels
contribute positively to the United States balance of
trade and generate employment opportunities in the
United States.
(b) It is therefore declared to be the purpose and policy
of the Congress in this subtitle--
(1) to enable the Department of Agriculture to plan
its export programs effectively, by clarifying the
ocean transportation requirements applicable to such
programs;
(2) to take immediate and positive steps to promote
the growth of the cargo carrying capacity of the United
States merchant marine;
(3) to expand international trade in United States
agricultural commodities and products and to develop,
maintain, and expand markets for United States
agricultural exports;
(4) to improve the efficiency of administration of
both the commodity purchasing and selling and the ocean
transportation activities associated with export
programs sponsored by the Department of Agriculture;
(5) to stimulate and promote both the agricultural
and maritime industries of the United States and
encourage cooperative efforts by both industries to
address their common problems; and
(6) to provide in the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, for
the appropriate disposition of these findings and
purposes.

findings
Sec. 302.\2\ The Congress finds that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 7 U.S.C. 1728.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) acute food crises continue to cause loss of life,
severe malnutrition, and general human suffering in
many areas of the Third World, especially in sub-
Saharan Africa;
(2) the United States continues to respond to these
needs, as a reflection of its humanitarian concern for
the people of the Third World, with emergency food and
other necessary assistance to alleviate the suffering
of those affected by severe food shortages;
(3) the timely provision of food and other necessary
assistance to those in need is of paramount importance
if the worst effects of such food crisis are to be
mitigated; and
(4) the ability of the United States to provide food
and other necessary assistance on a timely basis, and
to ensure that such assistance is distributed to those
in need, should be enhanced in order to better enable
the United States to help those affected by severe food
shortages.
establishment of the fund
Sec. 303.\3\ (a) There is hereby established the
President's Emergency Food Assistance Fund (hereafter in this
title referred to as the ``Fund''). Whenever the President
determines it to be in the national interest of the United
States, he is authorized to furnish, in accordance with the
provisions of this part, and on such terms and conditions as he
may determine, assistance from the Fund for the purpose of
alleviating the human suffering of peoples outside the United
States caused by acute food shortages. Such assistance may be
provided through such governments or other entities, private or
public, including intergovernmental and multilateral
organizations, as the President deems appropriate.

suffering may include the provision of food assistance or such
activities as the provision of seed, animal fodder, animal
vaccines, and transportation (including inland transportation)
and distribution services.

President $50,000,000 each for fiscal year 1985 and fiscal year
1986 to carry out the purposes of this title, to remain

intergovernmental organizations in furtherance of the purposes
and within the limitations of this title.

and Trade Act of 1988''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 7 U.S.C. 5201 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subtitle A--Findings, Policy, and Purpose
SEC. 4101.\2\ FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 7 U.S.C. 5201.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) United States agricultural exports have declined
by more than 36 percent since 1981, from
$43,800,000,000 in 1981 to $27,900,000,000 in 1987;
(2) the United States share of the world market for
agricultural commodities and products has dropped by 20
percent during the last 6 years;
(3) for the first time in 15 years, the United States
incurred monthly agricultural trade deficits in 1986;
(4) the loss of $1,000,000,000 in United States
agricultural exports causes the loss of 35,000
agricultural jobs and the loss of 60,000
nonagricultural jobs;
(5) the loss of agricultural exports threatens family
farms and the economic well-being of rural communities
in the United States;
(6) factors contributing to the loss of United States
agricultural exports include changes in world
agricultural markets such as--
(A) the addition of new exporting nations;
(B) innovations in agricultural technology;
(C) increased use of export subsidies
designed to lower the price of commodities on
the world market;
(D) the existence of barriers to agricultural
trade;
(E) the slowdown in the growth of world food
demand in the 1980's due to cyclical economic
factors, including currency fluctuations and a
debt-related slowdown in the economic growth of
agricultural markets in certain developing
countries; and
(F) the rapid buildup of surplus stocks as a
consequence of favorable weather for
agricultural production during the 1980's;
(7) increasing the volume and value of exports is
important to the financial well-being of the farm
sector in the United States and to increasing farm
income in the United States;
(8) in order to increase agricultural exports and
improve prices for farmers and ranchers in the United
States, it is necessary that all agricultural export
programs of the United States be used in an expeditious
manner, including programs established under the
Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of
1954 (7 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.), the Commodity Credit
Corporation Charter Act (15 U.S.C. 714 et seq.), and
section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C.
1431);
(9) greater use should be made by the Secretary of
Agriculture of the authorities established under
section 4 of the Food for Peace Act of 1966 (7 U.S.C.
1707a), the Agricultural Trade Development and
Assistance Act of 1954 (7 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.), section
416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1431),
and the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act (15
U.S.C. 714 et seq.) to provide intermediate credit
financing and other assistance for the establishment of
facilities in importing countries to--
(A) improve the handling, marketing,
processing, storage, and distribution of
imported agricultural commodities and products;
and
(B) increase livestock production to enhance
the demand for United States feed grains;
(10) food aid and export assistance programs in
developing countries stimulate economic activity which
causes incomes to rise, and, as incomes rise, diets
improve and the demand for and ability to purchase food
increases;
(11) private voluntary organizations and cooperatives
are important and successful partners in our food aid
and development programs; and
(12) in addition to meeting humanitarian needs, food
aid used in sales and barter programs by private
voluntary organizations and cooperatives--
(A) provides communities with health care,
credit systems, and tools for development; and
(B) establishes the infrastructure that is
essential to the expansion of markets for
United States agricultural commodities and
products.
SEC. 4102.\3\ POLICY.
It is the policy of the United States--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 7 U.S.C. 5202.

agricultural commodities and products for export at
competitive prices, with full assurance of quality and
reliability of supply;
(2) to support the principle of free trade and the

products;
(3) to support fully the negotiating objectives set
forth in section 1101(b) of this Act to eliminate or

in agricultural commodities and products;
(4) to use statutory authority to counter unfair
foreign trade practices and to use all available means,
including export promotion programs, and, if necessary,
restrictions on United States imports of agricultural
commodities and products, in order to encourage fair
and open trade; and
(5) to provide for increased representation of United
States agricultural trade interests in the formulation
of national fiscal and monetary policy affecting trade.
SEC. 4103.\4\ PURPOSE.
It is the purpose of this title--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 7 U.S.C. 5203.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) to increase the effectiveness of the Department
of Agriculture in agricultural trade policy formulation
and implementation and in assisting United States

Subtitle E--Studies and Reports
SEC. 4501. STUDY OF CANADIAN WHEAT IMPORT LICENSING REQUIREMENTS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) Canadian importers of wheat or products
containing a minimum of 25 percent wheat (except
packaged wheat products for retail sale) from the
United States must obtain import licenses from the
Canadian Wheat Board;
(2) the Canadian Wheat Board requires such importers
of United States wheat and wheat products to prove that
the wheat or wheat products to be imported are not
readily available in Canada before issuance of an
import license, and therefore, for all practical
purposes, such licenses are not granted by the Canadian
Wheat Board;
(3) the licensing requirements of the Canadian Wheat
Board's import licensing program result in a trade
barrier on the importation of United States wheat and
wheat products; and
(4) Canada is a member of the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade and, under such agreement, member
countries should, in general, eliminate import
licensing programs that operate as nontariff trade
barriers.
(b) Study.--The Secretary of Agriculture shall conduct a
study of the Canadian Wheat Board's import licensing program
to--
(1) assess the effect of the Canadian Wheat Board's
import licensing program referred to in subsection (a)
on wheat producers, processors, and exporters in the
United States; and
(2) determine--
(A) the nature and extent of the licensing
requirements of the Canadian Wheat Board's
import licensing program; and
(B) the estimated effect of the Canadian
Wheat Board's import licensing program in
reducing exports of United States wheat and
wheat products to Canada.
(c) Submission of Results.--Not later than 90 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit the
results of the study conducted under subsection (b) to the

conduct a study to determine whether, and to what extent, the
price support program for milk established under section 201(d)
of the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1446(d)) would be
affected by a reduction in, or elimination of, limitations
imposed on the importation of certain dairy products under
section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act (7 U.S.C. 624),
reenacted with amendments by the Agricultural Marketing
Agreement Act of 1937, as a result of multilateral trade

States shall conduct a study with respect to--
(1) whether articles containing dairy products
(including chocolate in blocks of at least 10 pounds

United States in such a manner or in such quantities as
to circumvent or avoid the limitations imposed on
imports of dairy products under section 22 of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act (7 U.S.C. 624), reenacted
with amendments by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement
Act of 1937; and
(2) whether products containing refined sugar are

(b) Requirements.--In conducting the study required under
subsection (a), the Comptroller General shall investigate--
(1) the efforts undertaken by the United States
Customs Service in the enforcement of the existing

SEC. 4509. ROSE STUDY.
(a) Study.--Not later than 240 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the United States International Trade
Commission shall, pursuant to section 332 of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332), complete a study with respect to--

foreign barriers to trade are impeding the marketing
abroad of domestically produced roses.
(b) Report.--The Commission shall report the results of the
study conducted in accordance with subsection (a) as soon as

appropriate to counter any adverse effects on the domestic rose
industry caused by unfair trade practices of foreign
competitors.
Subtitle F--Miscellaneous Agricultural Provisions
* * * * * * *
SEC. 4605. STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL MARKETING IN LAND GRANT COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) land grant colleges and universities (as defined
in section 1404(10) of the National Agricultural
Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 (7
U.S.C. 3103(10)) should encourage the study and career
objective of international marketing of agricultural
commodities and products;
(2) because marketing complements production,
international agricultural marketing specialists are
needed in a globally competitive world; and
(3) enhanced foreign marketing of United States
agricultural commodities and products will help relieve
stress in the rural economy.
SEC. 4606. INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN EGGS AND EGG PRODUCTS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) the system of basic and variable levies of the
European Community has severely restricted the export
of United States eggs and egg products to European
Community member countries;
(2) export subsidies of the European Community have
caused displacement of United States egg exports in
international markets; and
(3) the Secretary of Agriculture is in the process of
certifying the Netherland's inspection procedures for
egg products for the purpose of importation into the
United States of egg products of the Netherlands.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
United States Trade Representative should enter into
negotiations with the European Community concerning--
(1) duties, tariffs, and other means used by the
European Community to limit the access of United States
eggs and egg products to European Community markets;
and
(2) European Community export subsidies that have had
the effect of excluding United States eggs and egg
products from other world markets.
SEC. 4607. UNITED STATES ACCESS TO THE KOREAN BEEF MARKET.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) the 1986 United States trade deficit with the
Republic of Korea was $7,600,000,000;
(2) the Republic of Korea has banned beef imports
since May 1985;
(3) this beef import ban is in contravention of
Korea's obligations under the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade and impairs United States rights
under such agreement;
(4) Korea imposes an unreasonably high 20 percent ad
valorem tariff on meat products; and
(5) if the Korean beef market were liberalized, the
United States, due to comparative advantage, could
supply a significant portion of the Korean market for
beef, thereby increasing profit opportunities for the
United States beef industry while benefiting Korean
consumers.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Republic of Korea should take immediate
action to fulfill its obligations under the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and permit access to its
market for United States beef;
(2) the United States should aggressively pursue
negotiations to gain access to the Korean market for
United States beef;
(3) such negotiations, in addition to elimination of
the beef import ban, should address the high tariffs
set by the Republic of Korea and the means by which
imported beef is distributed in Korea; and
(4) if the Republic of Korea does not show clear
evidence that it is engaging in meaningful
liberalization of its market for United States beef,
the United States should use all available and
appropriate means to encourage the Republic of Korea to
open its market to United States beef imports.
SEC. 4608. UNITED STATES ACCESS TO JAPANESE AGRICULTURAL MARKETS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) the United States requested establishment of a
panel pursuant to Article XXIII of the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (hereinafter in this
section referred to as ``GATT'') to examine Japanese
import restrictions on 12 categories of agricultural
products;
(2) the GATT panel found that Japanese quantitative
restrictions on 10 of the 12 product categories are
inconsistent with Article XI of the GATT and
recommended that Japan eliminate them or otherwise take
action to bring them into conformity with the GATT; and
(3) the rationale behind the GATT panel finding can
also be applied to other restrictions that Japan
maintains on imports from the United States,
including--
(A) a virtual ban on imports of United States
rice;
(B) a very restrictive quota on imports of
United States beef; and
(C) high tariffs and restrictive quotas on
imports of United States citrus.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Government of Japan should immediately take
actions to comply with the findings of the GATT panel
report;
(2) the Government of Japan should immediately
liberalize its trade policies by lowering high tariffs
and removing quotas on agricultural imports from the
United States, including those imposed on rice, beef,
and citrus, in order to avoid any damage to the close
relations between Japan and the United States; and
(3) the United States should continue efforts to
persuade the Government of Japan to remove its trade
barriers.
SEC. 4609.\18\ SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO SECTION 22.
It is the sense of Congress that--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ 7 U.S.C. 624 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) the amounts of assessments collected under the
no-net-cost tobacco program can be an indicator of
import injury and material interference with the
tobacco price support program administered by the
Secretary of Agriculture; and
(2) for purposes of any investigation conducted under
section 22(a) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act (7
U.S.C. 624(a)), reenacted with amendments by the
Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, with
respect to tobacco, or articles containing tobacco,
imported into the United States, the International
Trade Commission should take into account, as if they
are costs to the Federal government, contributions and
assessments imposed under sections 106A and 106B of the
Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1445-1 and 1445-2)
in determining whether such imported tobacco or
articles containing tobacco materially interfere with
the tobacco price support program carried out by the
Secretary of Agriculture.

Sec. 208.\4\ Notwithstanding any other provision of law--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 7 U.S.C. 4001.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Whenever the President or other member of the executive
branch of Government causes the export of any agricultural
commodity to any country or area of the world to be suspended
or restricted for reasons of national security or foreign
policy under the Export Administration Act of 1979 or any other
provision of law and the Secretary of Agriculture determines
that such suspension or restriction will result in a surplus
supply of such commodity that will adversely affect prices
producers receive for the commodity, the Secretary may
establish a gasohol feedstock reserve or a feed security
reserve, or both, of the commodity, as provided in subsections
(c) and (d) of this section, if the commodity is suitable for
stockpiling in a reserve.
(b) Within thirty days after the export of any agricultural
commodity to a country or area is suspended or restricted as
described in subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary of
Agriculture shall announce whether a gasohol feedstock reserve
or a food security reserve of the commodity, or both, will be
established under this section and shall include in such
announcement the amount of the commodity that will be placed in
such reserves, which shall be that portion of the estimated
exports of the commodity affected by the suspension or
restriction, as determined by the Secretary, that should be
removed from the market to prevent the accumulation of a
surplus of the commodity that will adversely affect prices
producers receive for the commodity.
(c)(1) To establish a gasohol feedstock reserve under this
section, the Secretary of Agriculture may acquire agricultural
commodities (the export of which is suspended or restricted as
described in subsection (a) of this section) that are suitable
for use in the production of alcohol for motor fuel through
purchases from producers or in the market and by designation by
the Secretary of stocks of the commodities held by the
Commodity Credit Corporation, and to pay such storage,
transportation, and related costs as may be necessary to permit
maintenance of the commodities in the reserve for the purposes
of this section and disposition of the commodities as provided
in paragraph (2) of this subsection.
(2) The Secretary of Agriculture may dispose of stocks of
agricultural commodities acquired under paragraph (1) of this
subsection only through sale--
(A) for use in the production of alcohol for motor
fuel, at not less than the fuel conversion price (as
defined in section 212 of this title) for the commodity
involved: Provided, That, for wheat and feed grains, if
the fuel conversion price for the commodity involved is
less than the then current release price at which
producers may repay producer storage loans on the
commodity and redeem the commodity prior to the
maturity dates of the loans, as determined under clause
(5) of the second sentence of section 110(b) of the
Agricultural Act of 1949, the Secretary may dispose of
stocks of the commodity for such use only through sale,
at not less than the release price: Provided further,
That such sales shall only be made to persons for use
in the production of alcohol for motor fuel at
facilities that, whenever supplies of the commodity are
not readily available, can produce alcohol from other
agricultural or forestry biomass feedstocks; or
(B) for any other use, when sales for use under
clause (A) of this paragraph are impracticable, (i) if
there is a producer storage program in effect for the
commodity, at not less than 110 per centum of the then
current level at which the Secretary may encourage
repayment of producer storage loans on the commodity
prior to the maturity dates of the loans, as determined
under clause (5) of the third sentence of section
110(b) of the Agricultural Act of 1949,\5\ or, (ii) if
there is no producer storage program in effect for the
commodity, at not less than the average market price
producers received for the commodity at the time the
trade suspension was imposed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Sec. 1004 of Public Law 97-98 (95 Stat. 1213) amended clause
(i) by raising the level from 105 to 110 per centum and stipulated that
the Secretary may ``encourage'' repayment of producer storage loans
rather than ``call for'' the repayment of such loans.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(d)(1) To establish a food security reserve under this
section, the Secretary of Agriculture may acquire agricultural
commodities (the export of which is suspended or restricted as
described in subsection (a) of this section) that are suitable
for use in providing emergency food assistance and urgent
humanitarian relief through purchases from producers or in the
market and by designation by the Secretary of stocks of the
commodities held by the Commodity Credit Corporation, and to
pay such storage, transportation, and related costs as may be
necessary to permit maintenance of the commodities in the
reserve for the purposes of this section and disposition of the
commodities as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection.
(2) \6\ Applicability of certain provisions.--Subsections
(c), (d), (e), and (f)(2) of section 302 of the Bill Emerson
Humanitarian Trust Act (7 U.S.C. 1736f-1 et seq.) \7\ shall
apply to commodities in any reserve established under paragraph
(1), except that the references to ``eligible commodities'' in
the subsections shall be deemed to be references to
``agricultural commodities''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Sec. 225(b) of Public Law 104-127 (110 Stat. 962) amended and
restated para. (2). It formerly read as follows:
``(2) The provisions of subsections (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g)(2)
of section 302 of the Food Security Wheat Reserve Act of 1980 shall
apply to commodities in any reserve established under paragraph (1) of
this subsection, and (except for the last sentence of subsection (c) of
section 302) the references to `wheat' in such subsections of section
302 shall be deemed to be references to `agricultural commodities'.''.

(3) Any determination by the President or the Secretary of
Agriculture under this section shall be final.

commodities shall not apply with respect to the acquisition,
storage, or disposition of agricultural commodities under this
section.
(f) The Secretary of Agriculture shall establish safeguards
to ensure that stocks of agricultural commodities held in the
reserves established under this section shall not be used in

disposed of or released from reserves established under this
section, as provided in subsections (c)(2) and (d)(2) of this
section, the reserves may not be replenished with replacement

Sec. 209.\8\ (a) As used in this section--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ 7 U.S.C. 4002.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of
Agriculture.
(2) The term ``processor'' means any person engaged
within the United States in the business of
manufacturing grain into alcohol for use as a fuel
either by itself or in combination with some other
product.
(3) The terms ``agricultural grain'' and ``grain''
mean any agricultural commodity (A) that is suitable
for processing into alcohol for use as a fuel, and (B)
with respect to which a price support operation is in
effect.
(4) The term ``producer storage program'' means the
producer storage program provided for under section 110
of the Agriculture Act of 1949.
(5) The term ``small scale biomass energy project''
shall have the same meaning as defined in section
203(19) of the Energy Security Act.
(b) To assist processors in obtaining a dependable supply
of grain at reasonable prices, the Secretary may formulate and
administer a program under which processors purchasing and
storing grain needed by them for manufacturing into alcohol for
use as a fuel may obtain a loan from the Secretary on such
grain. Loans under this section may be made available only to
processors that (1) operate small scale biomass energy projects
financed in whole or in part by the United States Government or
any agency thereof, and (2) as determined by the Secretary, are
otherwise unable to obtain a dependable supply of grain at
reasonable prices for use in such projects.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this section, loans
made under this section to carry out the processor grain
reserve program may be made on the same terms and conditions as
loans made to carry out the producer storage program.
(d) The amount of the loan that the Secretary may make to
an eligible processor at any time on any quantity of grain
purchased by the processor shall be determined by multiplying
the price support loan rate in effect for such grain at the
time the loan is made times the quantity of grain purchased by
the processor. The quantity of grain on which one or more loans
may be outstanding at any time in the case of any processor may
not exceed the estimated quantity of grain needed by such
processor for one year of operation.
(e) Whenever any quantity of grain stored in the processor
grain reserve under this section is removed from storage by a
processor, the processor may be required to replace such grain
with an equal quantity, within such period of time as the
Secretary shall prescribe by regulation, or repay that portion
of the loan represented by the quantity of grain removed from
storage.
(f) Grain on which an eligible processor has received a
loan under this section may not be used for any purpose other
than the manufacture of alcohol for use as a fuel, and the
Secretary shall establish such safeguards as the Secretary
deems necessary to assure that such grain is not used for any
other purpose and is not used in any manner that would unduly
depress, manipulate, or curtail the free market in such grain.
(g) Loans made under this section shall be made subject to
such terms and conditions and subject to such security as the
Secretary deems appropriate, except that such loans may not be
made as nonrecourse loans.
(h) In carrying out the processor grain reserve program
under this section, the Secretary may--
(1) provide for the payment to processors of such
amounts as the Secretary determines appropriate to
cover the cost of storing grain held in the processor
grain reserve, except that in no event may the rate of
the payment paid under this clause for any period
exceed the rate paid by the Secretary under the
producer storage program for the same period; and
(2) prescribe conditions under which the Secretary
may require processors to repay loans made under this
section, plus accrued interest thereon, refund amounts
paid to the processors for storage, and require the
processors to pay such additional interest and other
charges as may be required by regulation in the event
any processor fails to abide by the terms and
conditions of the loan or any regulation prescribed
under this section.
(i) The Secretary shall announce the terms and conditions
of the processor grain reserve program as far in advance of
making loans as practicable.
(j) The Secretary may use the facilities of the Commodity
Credit Corporation to carry out this section.
(k) There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as
may be necessary to carry out this section. Any loans made
under this section shall be made to such extent and such
amounts as provided in appropriation Acts. The authority to
make loans under this section shall expire five years after the
effective date of this title.

determined by the Secretary, shall perform a study of the
potential for expansion of United States agricultural export
markets and the use of agricultural exports in obtaining
natural resources or other commodities and products needed by
the United States. The Secretary shall complete the study and
submit to the President and Congress a report on the study

report on July 1, 1983, and a final report on January 1,
1984,\13\ regarding the demonstration projects carried out
under this section. Such report shall include an analysis and
evaluation of Federal participation in food bank emergency food
programs, the effectiveness of such participation, and the
feasibility of continuing such participation. The Secretary
shall also include in such report any recommendations regarding
improvements in Federal assistance to community food banks,
including assistance for administrative expenses and
transportation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ Sec. 1114(b) of Public Law 97-98 (95 Stat. 1269) changed the

otherwise encourage food banks to participate in such projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ Sec. 1114(b) of Public Law 97-98 (95 Stat. 1269) redesignated
existing subsec. (f) as subsec. (g) and added a new subsec. (f). Such

=======================================================================
The Peace Corps was initially established pursuant to
Executive Order 10924, March 1, 1961, 26 F.R. 1789, as
an agency in the Department of State, under authority
of the Mutual Security Act of 1954, as amended.
Pursuant to that order, Department of State Delegation
of Authority No. 85-11, March 3, 1961, 26 F.R. 2196,
and Department of State Redelegation of Authority No.
85-10B, March 4, 1961, 26 F.R. 2196, the Peace Corps
was empowered to exercise authority under section
400(a) of the Mutual Security Act of 1954, as amended
(``Special Assistance''), and under certain other
provisions of that act. Its operations were funded from
appropriations available under the Mutual Security Act
and Mutual Security Program funds appropriated by the
joint resolution making temporary appropriations for
fiscal year 1962. The authorities, functions, offices,
personnel, property, records, and funds available to
the Peace Corps were preserved, pending enactment of
the Peace Corps Act, by section 643(d) of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961, notwithstanding the repeal by
that act of much of the Mutual Security Act of 1954, as
amended. Section 643(d) was repealed by the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1962. Pursuant to Executive Order
11603 of July 1, 1971 (36 F.R. 12675), the Peace Corps
was transferred to the agency created by Reorganization
Plan No. 1 of 1971 and designated as ACTION. The ACTION
Agency was established by law under Title IV of the
Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973. Executive Order
12137 of May 16, 1979 superseded Executive Order 11603
but continued the policy of the Peace Corps operating
as an agency within ACTION. Sec. 601 of the
International Security and Development Cooperation Act
of 1981 (Public Law 97-113), in amending the Peace
Corps Act, removed the Peace Corps from ACTION and
established the Peace Corps as an independent agency
within the executive branch, effective December 29,
1981. All functions relating to the Peace Corps
previously vested in the Director of ACTION were
transferred to the Director of the Peace Corps on the
day before the effective date.

(4) \17\ The Director of the Peace Corps may prescribe such
regulations as may be necessary to assure that no individual

contained in this Act shall engage in any activity determined
by the Director to be detrimental to the best interest of the
United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ Sec. 2 of Public Law 91-352 (84 Stat. 426) added para. (4).

peace corps volunteers
Sec. 5.\18\ (a) The President may enroll in the Peace Corps
for service abroad qualified citizens and nationals of the
United States (referred to in this Act as ``volunteers''). The
terms and conditions of the enrollment, training, compensation,
hours of work, benefits, leave, termination, and all other
terms and conditions of the service of volunteers shall be
exclusively those set forth in this Act and those consistent
therewith which the President may prescribe; and, except as
provided in this Act, volunteers shall not be deemed officers
or employees or otherwise in the service or employment of, or
holding office under, the United States for any purpose. In
carrying out this subsection there shall be no discrimination
against any person on account of race, sex, creed, or
color.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ 22 U.S.C. 2504. Sec. 4 of Public Law 94-130 (89 Stat. 684)
added ``sex'' to the bases for nondiscrimination.
\19\ Sec. 1105(b) of the International Security and Development
Cooperation Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-83; 99 Stat. 276) struck out the
prohibition that ``no political request shall be required to be taken
into consideration'' from this sentence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Volunteers shall be provided with such living, travel,
and leave allowances, and such housing, transportation,
supplies, equipment, subsistence, and clothing as the President
may determine to be necessary for their maintenance and to
insure their health and their capacity to serve effectively.
Supplies or equipment provided volunteers to insure their
capacity to serve effectively may be transferred to the
government or to other entities of the country or area with
which they have been serving, when no longer necessary for such
purpose, and when such transfers would further the purposes of
this Act.\20\ Transportation and travel allowances may also be
provided in such circumstances as the President may determine,
or applicants for enrollment to or from places of training and
places of enrollment, and for former volunteers from places of
termination to their homes in the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ Sec. 2(a) of Public Law 88-200 (77 Stat. 359) added this
sentence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) \21\ Volunteers shall be entitled to receive a
readjustment allowance at a rate not less than $125 \22\ for
each month of satisfactory service as determined by the
President.\23\ The readjustment allowance of each volunteer
shall be payable on his return to the United States: Provided,
however, That, under such circumstances as the President may
determine, the accrued readjustment allowance, or any part
thereof, may be paid to the volunteer, members of his family or
others, during the period of his service, or prior to his
return to the United States. In the event of the volunteer's
death during the period of his service, the amount of any
unpaid readjustment allowance shall be paid in accordance with
the provisions of section 5582(b) of title 5, United States
Code. For purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (26
U.S.C.), a volunteer shall be deemed to be paid and to receive
each amount of a readjustment allowance to which he is entitled
after December 31, 1964, when such amount is transferred from
funds made available under this Act to the fund from which such
readjustment allowance is payable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ Sec. 2(b) of Public Law 88-200 (77 Stat. 359) substituted this
language, except for the final sentence, for former subsec. (c), which
read as follows:
``(c) Volunteers shall be entitled to receive termination payments
at a rate not to exceed $75 for each month of satisfactory service as
determined by the President. The termination payment of each volunteer
shall be payable at the termination of his service, or may be paid
during the course of his service to the volunteer, to members of his
family or to others, under such circumstances as the President may
determine. In the event of the volunteer's death during the period of
his service, the amount of any unpaid termination payment shall be paid
in accordance with the provisions of section 61f of title 5 of the
United States Code.''.
The final sentence was added by sec. 2(a) of Public Law 89-134.
\22\ Sec. 606 of the International Security and Development
Cooperation Act of 1981 (Public Law 97-113; 95 Stat. 1543) struck out
``not to exceed $125'' and inserted in lieu thereof ``not less than
$125''.
\23\ A phrase, which had been added by sec. 2(b) of Public Law 91-
352 and had previously appeared at this point, was struck by sec. 4(1)
of Public Law 95-331 (92 Stat. 414). It formerly read as follows:
``except that, in the cases of volunteers who have one or more minor
children at the time of their entering a period of preenrollment
training, one parent shall be entitled to receive a readjustment
allowance at a rate not to exceed $125 for each month of satisfactory
service as determined by the President.''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(d) \24\ * * * [Repealed--1966]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\24\ Sec. 8(a) of Public Law 89-554 (80 Stat. 661) repealed subsec.
(d), which related to Federal Employees' Compensation Act coverage and
enacted a substantially identical provision at 5 U.S.C. 8142, which
reads, amended, as follows:
``(a) For the purpose of this section, `volunteer' means--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``(1) a volunteer enrolled in the Peace Corps under section 2504 of title
22;
``(2) a volunteer leader enrolled in the Peace Corps under section 2505
of title 22;
``(3) an applicant for enrollment as a volunteer or volunteer leader
during a period of training under section 2507(a)( of title 22 before
enrollment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``(b) Subject to the provisions of this section, this subchapter
applies to a volunteer, except that entitlement to disability
compensation payments does not commence until the day after the date of
termination of his services as a volunteer.
``(c) For the purposes of this subchapter--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``(1) a volunteer is deemed receiving monthly pay at the minimum rate for
GS-7;
``(2) a volunteer leader referred to by section 2505 of title 22, or a
volunteer with one or more minor children as defined in section 2504 of
title 22, is deemed receiving monthly pay at the minimum rate for GS-11;
``(3) an injury suffered by a volunteer when he is outside the several
States and the District of Columbia is deemed proximately caused by his
employment, unless the injury or disease is--
``(A) caused by willful misconduct of the volunteer;
``(B) caused by the volunteer's intention to bring about the injury or
death of himself or of another; or
``(C) proximately caused by the intoxication of the injured volunteer;
and
``(4) the period of service of an individual as a volunteer includes--
``(A) any period of training, under section 2507(a) of title 22 before
enrollment as a volunteer; and
``(B) the period between enrollment as a volunteer and the termination of
service as a volunteer by the President or by death or resignation.''.
(e) \25\ Volunteers shall receive such health care during
their service, applicants for enrollment shall receive such
health examinations preparatory to their service, applicants
for enrollment who have accepted an invitation to begin a
period of training under section 8(a) of this Act shall receive
such immunization and dental care preparatory to their service,
and former volunteers shall receive such health examinations
within six months after termination of their service, as the
President may deem necessary or appropriate. Subject to such
conditions as the President may prescribe, such health care may
be provided in any facility of any agency of the United States
Government, and in such cases the appropriation for maintaining
and operating such facility shall be reimbursed from
appropriations available under this Act. Health care may not be
provided under this subsection in a manner inconsistent with
the Assisted Suicide Funding Restriction Act of 1997.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\25\ Sec. 2(b) of Public Law 89-134 (79 Stat. 549) substantially
amended this subsection which previously read as follows:
``(e) Volunteers shall receive such health care during their
service and such health examinations and immunization preparatory to
their service, as the President may deem necessary or appropriate.
Subject to such conditions as the President may prescribe, such health
care, examinations, and immunizations may be provided for volunteers in
any facility of any agency of the United States Government, and in such
cases the appropriation for maintaining and operating such facility
shall be reimbursed from appropriations available under this Act.''.
\26\ Sec. 9(j) of the Assisted Suicide Funding Restriction Act of
1997 (Public Law 105-12; 111 Stat. 27) added the last sentence to
subsec. (e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Executive Order 11103, April 10, 1963, 28 F.R. 3571, 22 U.S.C. 2504
note; amended by Executive Order 12107, December 28, 1978, 44 F.R. 1055
By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Civil
Service Act (22 Stat. 403), and section 1753 of the Revised
Statutes, and as President of the United States, it is hereby
ordered as follows:
Sec. 1. Under such regulations as the Office of Personnel
Management \1\ may prescribe, the head of any agency in the
Executive Branch may appoint in the competitive service any
person who is certified by the Director of the Peace Corps as
having served satisfactorily as a Volunteer or Volunteer Leader
under the Peace Corps Act and who passes such examination as
the Office of Personnel Management \1\ may prescribe. Any
person so appointed shall, upon completion of the prescribed
probationary period, acquire a competitive status.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Executive Order 12107 (44 F.R. 1055) struck out ``Civil Service
Commission'' and inserted in lieu thereof ``Office of Personnel
Management''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sec. 2. The head of any agency in the Executive Branch
having an established merit system in the excepted service may
appoint in such service any person who is certified by the
Director of the Peace Corps as having served satisfactorily as
a Volunteer or Volunteer Leader under the Peace Corps Act and
who passes such examination as such agency head may prescribe.
Sec. 3. Certificates of satisfactory service for the
purpose of this Order shall be issued only to persons who have
completed a full term of service (approximately two years)
under the Peace Corps Act: Provided, That such certificates may
be issued to persons who have completed a lesser period of
satisfactory service if, in the judgment of the Director of the
Peace Corps, (1) their service was of sufficient duration to
demonstrate their capability to complete satisfactorily a full
term, and (2) their failure to complete a full term was due to
circumstances beyond their control.
Sec. 4. Any appointment under this Order shall be effected
within a period of one year after completion of the appointee's
service under the Peace Corps Act: Provided, That such period
may be extended to not more than three years in the case of
persons who, following such service, are engaged in military
service, in the pursuit of studies at a recognized institution
of higher learning, or in other activities which, in the view
of the appointing authority, warrant an extension of such
period.
Sec. 5. Any law, Executive Order, or regulation which would
disqualify an applicant for appointment in the competitive
service or in the excepted service concerned shall also
disqualify an applicant for appointment under this Order.
