                SPECTER (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 1287

  Mr. SPECTER (for himself, Mr. Helms, and Mr. Roth) proposed an 
amendment to the bill (S. 1281) to authorize appropriations for the 
fiscal years 1994 and 1995 for the Department of State, the U.S. 
Information Agency, and related agencies, to provide for the 
consolidation of international broadcasting activities, and for other 
purposes; as follows:

       On page 179, after line 6, insert the following section:

     SEC. 714. BILATERAL ASSISTANCE AND INTERNATIONAL LENDING 
                   REQUIRED TO BE COLLATERALIZED BY PETROLEUM 
                   PRODUCTS, MINERALS, OR OTHER COMMODITIES.

       (a) United States Action.--(1) Immediately upon enactment 
     of this Act, to the greatest extent possible, all bilateral 
     loans or credits extended by the United States to government 
     and nongovernment entities of the independent states of the 
     former Soviet Union must be collateralized by reserves of 
     petroleum products, minerals, or other commodities and any 
     revenues earned from the sales thereof.
       (2) Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, with respect to 1994, and not later than January 1 
     of each calendar year thereafter, the President of the United 
     States shall certify to Congress that, with respect to all 
     bilateral loans or credits extended to the independent states 
     of the former Soviet Union, all opportunities to seek 
     collateral for such loans or credits have been considered and 
     that, in the case of such loans which are not collateralized, 
     such states are adhering to the debt repayment schedules 
     stipulated by the terms of such loans or credits.
       (3) If the President cannot certify that the conditions 
     contained in paragraph (2) for any state or entity in such 
     state have been met, then no further bilateral loans or 
     credits to that state of entity in such state shall be 
     extended in that calendar year.
       (b) Multilateral Actions.--Not later than 60 days after the 
     date of enactment of this Act, and not later than January 1 
     of each calendar year thereafter, the Secretary of the 
     Treasury shall--
       (1) certify that each independent state of the former 
     Soviet Union is adhering to the debt repayment schedules 
     stipulated by multilateral lending institutions; or
       (2) with respect to any state or entity in such state that 
     is not adhering to such schedules, direct the Secretary of 
     the Treasury to instruct the United States executive 
     directors to the International Bank for Reconstruction and 
     Development and to the European Bank for Reconstruction and 
     Development to propose that such institutions establish 
     policies in opposition to the extension of any credit, or the 
     issuance of any guarantee with respect to any credit, in that 
     calendar year, for the purpose of assisting that state or 
     entities in such state unless such credits or guarantees are 
     collateralized by reserves of petroleum products, minerals, 
     or other commodities and any revenues earned from the sales 
     thereof.
       (c) Use of Collateral.--With respect to all bilateral and 
     multilateral loans for which collateral is obtained, such 
     collateral shall be converted in such a way as not to unduly 
     disrupt the underlying markets of the relevant commodity.
       Bilateral and multilateral loans made explicitly for 
     humanitarian purposes shall not be subject to the terms 
     specified in this section.
       (d) Exception:
       (e) Definitions.--As used in this section--
       (1) the term ``independent states of the former Soviet 
     Union'' has the same meaning given to that term by section 3 
     of the FREEDOM Support Act (22 U.S.C. 5801); and
       (2) the term ``petroleum product'' means crude oil, 
     residual fuel oil, or any refined petroleum product 
     (including any natural liquid and any natural gas liquid 
     product).
                                 ______


                        ROTH AMENDMENT NO. 1288

  Mr. ROTH proposed an amendment to the bill S. 1281, supra; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate point, insert the following:
       The Senate finds that in the post-Cold War period, the 
     international community expects the United Nations to play a 
     larger role, particularly in peacekeeping operations that 
     may, on occasion, require the use of force against determined 
     aggressors;
       That in the past five years the United Nations has engaged 
     in more peacekeeping operations than in the preceding forty,
       That the Security Council is the U.N. body chiefly 
     responsible for matters of peace and security;
       That the United Nations structure and the Security 
     Council's roster of permanent members have remained largely 
     unchanged since the United Nations was founded almost half a 
     century ago;
       That Japan and Germany, as the world's second and third 
     largest economies, respectively, have attained levels of 
     global reach and influence equal to or surpassing current 
     permanent members of the Security Council;
       That both Japan and Germany have announced their desire to 
     gain permanent membership in the Security Council;
       That any country accorded permanent membership must be 
     capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of such status, 
     including participation in any U.N. military operations;
       That according permanent membership to nations not capable 
     of carrying out these responsibilities will allow those 
     countries to play a central role in shaping U.N. peacekeeping 
     operations which could endanger the lives of American and 
     other troops, but in which their own forces could play no 
     part;
       That, currently, in both Japan and Germany the prevailing 
     view is that each country is prohibited from carrying out all 
     the responsibilities that permanent membership entails and 
     appears reluctant to make the changes necessary to gain those 
     capabilities;
       That in Japan's case, further reconciliation with its Asian 
     neighbors who suffered during the World War II period is 
     recommended;
       Now, therefore, it is the sense of the Senate that:
       (1) In principle, the United States should support both 
     Japan and Germany in their wish to gain permanent membership 
     in the United Nations Security Council; but
       (2) Neither Japan nor Germany should be admitted as 
     permanent members until they are capable of discharging the 
     full range of responsibilities accepted by all current 
     permanent members of the Security Council.
                                 ______


               KASSEBAUM (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 1289

  Mr. BYRD (for Mrs. Kassebaum for herself, Mr. Simpson, Mr. D'Amato, 
and Mr. Byrd) proposed an amendment to the bill S. 1281, supra; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:
       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) in the last decade applications for asylum have greatly 
     exceeded the original 5,000 annual limit provided in the 
     Refugee Act of 1980, with more than 150,000 asylum 
     applications filed in FY 93, and the backlog of cases growing 
     to the current level of 355,000;
       (2) this flood of asylum claims has swamped the system, 
     creating delays in the processing of applications of up to 
     several years;
       (3) the delay in processing asylum claims due to the 
     overwhelming numbers has contributed to numerous problems, 
     including:
       (A) an abuse of the asylum laws by fraudulent applicants 
     whose primary interest is obtaining work authority in the 
     United States while their claim languishes in the backlogged 
     asylum processing system;
       (B) the growth of alien smuggling operations, often 
     involving organized crime;
       (C) a drain on limited resources resulting from the high 
     cost of processing frivolous asylum claims through our multi-
     layered system; and
       (D) an erosion of public support for asylum;
       (4) Asylum, a safe haven protection for aliens abroad who 
     cannot return home, has been perverted by some aliens who use 
     asylum claims to circumvent our immigration and refugee laws 
     and procedures;
       (5) a comprehensive revision of our asylum law and 
     procedures is required to address these problems.
       (b) Policy.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) asylum is a process intended to protect certain aliens 
     in the United States who, because of events occurring after 
     their arrival here, cannot safely return home;
       (2) persons outside their country of nationality who have a 
     well-founded fear of persecution if they return should apply 
     for refugee status with the local UNHCR, or other relevant 
     international organization, office or at one of our refugee 
     processing centers abroad, if possible;
       (3) the immigration, refugee and asylum laws of the United 
     States should be reformed to provide:
       (A) a procedure for the expeditious exclusion of asylum 
     applicants who arrive at a port-of-entry with fraudulent 
     documents, or no documents, and make a non-credible claim of 
     asylum; and
       (B) the immigration, refugee, and asylum laws of the United 
     States should be reformed to provide for a streamlined 
     affirmative asylum processing system for asylum applicants 
     who make their application after they have entered the United 
     States.
                                 ______


                 HELMS (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 1290

       Mr. HELMS (for himself, Mr. DeConcini, Mr. Coats, and Mr. 
     Brown) proposed an amendment to the bill S. 1281, supra; as 
     follows:
       On page 179, after line 6, insert the following:

     SEC.   . CHINESE FLEEING COERCIVE POPULATION CONTROL 
                   POLICIES.

       (1) Pursuant to paragraph (42)(A) of section 101(a) of the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(42)(A)), 
     all adjudicators of asylum or refugee status shall give 
     fullest possible consideration to applications from nationals 
     of the People's Republic of China who express a fear of 
     persecution upon return to that country because they refuse 
     to abort a pregnancy or resist surgical sterilization in 
     violation of Chinese Communist Party directives on 
     population, or who demonstrate that they have experienced 
     persecution on account of such refusal, if such refusal is or 
     was undertaken with full awareness of the urgent priority 
     assigned to such directives by all levels of the Chinese 
     government, and full awareness of the severe consequences 
     which may be imposed for violation of such directives.
       (2) In view of the urgent priority assigned to the ``one 
     couple, one child'' policy by high level Chinese Communist 
     Party officials and local party cadres at all levels, as well 
     as the severe consequences commonly imposed for violations of 
     that policy, which are regarded as ``political dissent,'' 
     refusal to abort or to be sterilized, as described in 
     subsection (a) of this section, shall be viewed as an act of 
     political defiance justifying a ``well-founded fear of 
     persecution'' sufficient to establish refugee status under 
     paragraph (42)(A) of section 101(a) of the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(42)(A)).
       (3) All other factors which may contribute to a 
     determination of asylum or refugee status in such cases are 
     to be given additional weight by asylum and refugee 
     adjudicators, such factors including, but not limited to, 
     overt political activities while in the United States or 
     third countries, membership in an ethnic or religious 
     minority, family background and history, or suspicion of 
     ``counterrevolutionary'' activities by Chinese Communist 
     Party officials.
       (4) Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
     necessitate a grant of asylum or refugee status to any 
     individual who is ineligible for admission to the United 
     States under section 212(a) of the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)).
       The Secretary of State and the Attorney General shall, 
     within 30 days of enactment of this section, promulgate 
     regulations and guidelines to carry out the provisions of 
     this section.
       (6) Nothing in this section shall be construed as--
       (A) Shifting the burden of providing, in each individual 
     case, facts sufficient to establish a claim of asylum or 
     refugee status as described in subsection (a) of this 
     section, from any person making such claim of asylum or 
     refugee status to the Attorney General; or
       (B) Requiring the Attorney General to disprove such claim 
     in the absence of proof of facts sufficient to establish a 
     claim of refugee or asylum status as described in subsection 
     (a) of this section by any person making such claim.
       (7) The number of persons receiving political status solely 
     because of the provisions of this section shall not exceed 
     1,000 in any fiscal year.
       (8) The Attorney General shall not be obligated to grant 
     political asylum to any person claiming to qualify under 
     subsection (a) if the Attorney General proves by clear and 
     convincing evidence that such person has claimed such status 
     solely for the purposes of evading the immigration laws of 
     the United States.
       (9) The provisions of this section shall take effect on the 
     date of enactment of this Act, and notwithstanding the 
     provisions of subsection (c) of this section or any other 
     provision of law, all adjudicators of asylum or refugee 
     status shall apply the provisions of this section to every 
     case, administrative or judicial proceeding, or appeal that 
     is pending on the date of enactment of this Act, and to any 
     claim that arises on or after such date of enactment.

                                 ______


                        HELMS AMENDMENT NO. 1291

  Mr. HELMS proposed an amendment to the bill S. 1281, supra; as 
follows:

                   NONDISCRIMINATORY MOST-FAVORED-NATION 
                   TREATMENT.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the People's Republic of 
     China should not continue to be accorded non-discriminatory 
     most-favored-nation treatment by the United States, unless 
     the President reports to the Congress that the government of 
     that country--
       (1) has taken appropriate actions to begin adhering to the 
     provisions of the universal Declaration of Human Rights in 
     China and Tibet;
       (2) is allowing unrestricted emigration of the citizens who 
     desire to leave China for reasons of political or religious 
     persecution to join family members abroad, or for other valid 
     reasons;
       (3) has provided as acceptable accounting and release of--
       (A) Chinese citizens detained, accused, or sentenced as a 
     result of the nonviolent expression of their political 
     beliefs in relation to events which occurred during and after 
     the violent repression of demonstrations in Tiananmen Square 
     on June 4, 1989; and
       (B) other citizens detained, accused, or sentenced for the 
     nonviolent expression of their political beliefs or for 
     peacefully exercising their internationally guaranteed rights 
     of freedom of speech, association,and assembly;
       (4) has taken effective, verifiable action to prevent 
     export of products to the United States manufactured wholly 
     or in part by convict, forced, or indentured labor and has 
     complied with the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding 
     signed on August 7, 1992, by allowing, without limitation or 
     restriction, United States Customs officials to visit places 
     suspected of producing such goods for export; and
       (5) has made overall significant progress in--
       (A) ceasing religious persecution and lifting restrictions 
     on freedom of religious belief in the People's Republic of 
     China and Tibet;
       (B) releasing leaders and members of religious groups 
     detained, imprisoned, or under house arrest for expression of 
     their religious beliefs;
       (C) ceasing financial and other incentives to encourage 
     non-Tibetans to relocate in Tibet, including development and 
     other projects which bring in substantial numbers of non-
     Tibetan workers;
       (D) ceasing unfair and discriminatory trade practices which 
     restrict and unreasonably burden American business;
       (E) providing United States exporters fair access to 
     Chinese markets, including lowering tariffs, removing 
     nontariff barriers, and increasing the purchase of United 
     States goods and services;
       (F) adhering to the guidelines and parameters of the 
     Missile Technology Control Regime and the controls adopted by 
     the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the Australian Group on 
     Chemical and Biological Arms;
       (G) adhering to the Joint Declaration on Hong Kong that was 
     entered into between the United Kingdom and the People's 
     Republic of China;
       (H) cooperating with United States efforts to obtain an 
     acceptable accounting of United States military personnel who 
     are listed as prisoners of war or missing in action as a 
     result of their service in--
       (i) the Korean conflict; or
       (ii) the Vietnam conflict;
       (I) ceasing the jamming of Voice of America broadcasts; and
       (J) providing international human rights and humanitarian 
     groups access to prisoners, trails, and places of detention.

     authority described in paragraph (1) only when the President

     imposed pursuant to this subsection as soon as the basis for 
     the determination made pursuant to paragraph (2) no longer 
     exists.

     People's Mujaheddin of Iran have resulted in the deaths of 
     more than 10,000 Iranians.
       (4) The People's Mujaheddin of Iran is responsible for the 
     deaths of several United States military advisers in 1972 and 
     1973, for the deaths of two Air Force officers in 1975, and 
     for the deaths of three United States employees of the

     the terrorist activities of the People's Mujaheddin of Iran.
       (8) The past activities of the People's Mujaheddin of Iran,

     People's Mujaheddin of Iran. Such report shall include any 
     connection to organizations operating in the United States.

     Britain earnestly seek a peaceful end to a conflict in the 
     North of Ireland which has caused more than 3,000 deaths 
     since 1969.
       (2) The people of the United States, many of whom share a 
     common ancestry and cultural roots with the people of 
     Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Great Britain, are deeply 
     concerned about the continuing conflict and desire to 
     facilitate an early resolution to the conflict.
       (3) In 1993, John Hume, head of the Social Democratic and 
     Labour Party and Gerry Adams, President of Sinn Fein, 
     conducted talks on the conflict.
       (4) These talks were a significant contribution to a 
     climate encouraging peace in the North of Ireland.
       (5) The Government of the United Kingdom and the Government 
     of Ireland have held talks on Northern Ireland culminating in 
     the Joint Declaration issued by the two governments on 
     December 15, which declaration offers a framework for lasting 
     peace in the region.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that 
     the United States should strongly encourage all parties to 
     the conflict in the North of Ireland to renounce violence and 
     to participate in the current search for peace in the region.
