       On page 179, after line 6, add the following new section:

     SEC.   . SAFETY OF UNITED STATES PERSONNEL IN SARAJEVO.

       (A) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the United States has recognized and established 
     diplomatic relations with the Government of Bosnia-
     Hercegovina;

     not have any secure permanent or semipermanent facilities to

     serious physical risks to United States diplomatic personnel 
     serving there;
       (4) the United States Ambassador to Bosnia-Hercogovina 
     resides and carries out his duties from Vienna, Austria; and
       (5) an increased and more secure United State diplomatic 
     presence in Sarajevo would enhance United States interests in 
     Bosnia-Hercegovina.
       (b) Policy.--(1) It is, therefore, the sense of the Senate 
     that the Secretary of State should immediately take steps to 
     increase the presence of United States diplomatic personnel 
     in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Hercegovina. Consistent with the 
     objective of ensuring their physical safety.
       (2) Such steps should include secure facilities, 
     communication capability, ground transportation and other 
     capabilities, as appropriate, to enable United States 
     diplomatic personnel to conduct regular official United 
     States diplomatic activities in Sarajevo.
       (c) Report.--The Secretary of State shall report to the 
     Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Chairman of 
     the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on the steps taken 
     to enhance the security and safety of United States 
     diplomatic personnel not later than 30 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act.
