                  HELMS (AND ROTH) AMENDMENT NO. 2277

  Mr. McCONNELL (for Mr. Helms for himself and Mr. Roth) proposed an 
amendment to the bill H.R. 4426, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:
       Sec.   . Sense of the Congress concerning German and 
     Japanese permanent membership in the United Nations Security 
     Council.
       In the past five years, the United Nations has engaged in 
     more peacekeeping operations than in the preceding forty;
       The Security Council is the U.N. body chiefly responsible 
     for matters of peace and security;
       Any country accorded permanent membership in an expanded 
     Security Council must be capable of fulfilling all of the 
     responsibilities equated with such status, including 
     participation in any U.N. military operations;
       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 
     and peacekeeping operations which could endanger the lives of 
     American and other troops, but in which their own forces 
     could play no part;
       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;
       Germany and Japan have announced their desire to gain 
     permanent membership in the Security Council;
       Japan currently maintains that its constitution prohibits 
     the country from carrying out all the peacekeeping and 
     peacemaking responsibilities that permanent membership 
     entails;
       Japan's ruling coalition government appears unwilling to 
     address these issues, even in the face of a potential crisis 
     on the Korean peninsula which may well require multilateral 
     military action;
       The German High Court, sitting in Karlsruhe, Germany, 
     ruled, on July 12, 1994, that the German constitution 
     contains no prohibition against the overseas deployment of 
     Germany's armed forces in multilateral peacekeeping 
     operation.
       Now, therefore, be it the sense of the Senate that:
       (1) Since Germany has addressed the problem of its 
     participation in multilateral military activities, the U.S. 
     should support that nation's prompt elevation to permanent 
     Security Council membership;
       (2) Japan be encouraged to discuss thoroughly and openly 
     its own problems in participating in such activities, and 
     take whatever steps are necessary to enable it to fully 
     engage in any form of U.N. peacekeeping or peacemaking 
     operation; and
       (3) The United States should actively support Japan's 
     effort to gain permanent membership only after Japan takes 
     such steps * * *.

                           *   *   *   *   *

                                 ______


                       McCAIN AMENDMENT NO. 2278

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) Peace in Cambodia promotes stability in Southeast Asia.
       (2) The newly democratic nation of Cambodia is engaged in a 
     continuing military struggle against the Khmer Rouge.
       (3) Peace talks between the government of Cambodia and the 
     Khmer Rouge have repeatedly broken down.
       (4) The Cambodian Parliament took action on July 6, 1994 to 
     outlaw the Khmer Rouge.
       (5) Ceding any position in the freely elected government of 
     Cambodia to the Khmer Rouge is not in the interest of the 
     Cambodian people and is incompatible with a constructive 
     U.S.-Cambodia relationship.
       (6) Cambodian officials have requested military assistance 
     from a number of nations, including the United States.
       (7) The U.S. administration, in consultation with its 
     allies, is in the process of determining the appropriate type 
     and level of U.S. military assistance to Cambodia.
       (8) Congress is concerned that absent proper training, 
     professionalism and adequate salaries, providing Cambodian 
     forces with arms and ammunition will not be beneficial.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the Sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) In concert with interested democratic nations, the U.S. 
     should provide non-combat military training assistance to the 
     newly democratic government of Cambodia.
       (2) Military Assistance should include efforts to establish 
     an orderly and equitable promotion process, establish an 
     effective command structure, establish a viable and effective 
     system of military justice, establish effective logistics, 
     establish modern communications networks, establish 
     dependable accounting procedures, promote human rights and 
     respect for the rule of law and promote respect for civilian 
     leadership of the military.
       (3) The President should make every effort to fully utilize 
     requested 1994 and 1995 levels of IMET for Cambodia to expand 
     the program beyond its current scope.
       (4) The President should consider qualified Cambodians for 
     admission to U.S. military academies.
       (5) The President should dispatch as soon as possible a 
     military attache to the U.S. Embassy in Cambodia.
       (6) Lethal assistance should not be provided to Cambodia 
     until such time as the President can certify the 
     professionalization of the Cambodian Armed Forces.
       (7) No military assistance should be provided the Cambodian 
     Armed Forces if the Government includes members of the Khmer 
     Rouge or if the Constitution promulgated on September 24, 
     1993 fails.
       (8) No military assistance should be provided in concert 
     with the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea.
       (9) The President should convey to Thailand United States 
     concern over the continued support for the Khmer Rouge by 
     elements of the Thai military and to urge the Thai Government 
     to intensify its efforts to terminate that support, in 
     accordance with the Paris Peace Accords.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--

     the security of Europe.
       (2) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization remains the 
     principal guarantor of European security.

       (4) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is not an 
     offensive threat to any nation not part of the North Atlantic 
     Treaty.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization should invite 
     Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia to accede to 
     the North Atlantic Treaty under Article 10 of the treaty at 
     such time as each is in a position to further the principles 
     of the Treaty and contribute to the security of the North 
     Atlantic area.
       (2) Accession of the North Atlantic Treaty should include a 
     commitment to the security of new members according to 
     Article 5 of the treaty.
       (3) The President should pursue within the North Atlantic 
     Council and adoption of criteria and timetables for 
     determining the ability of each nation to further the 
     principles of the North Atlantic Treaty and contribute to the 
     security of the North Atlantic area.
       (4) Within 90 days of the passage of this act, the 
     President should report to the appropriate Congressional 
     committees the criteria and timetables the United States will 
     pursue within the North Atlantic Council.

                        COHEN AMENDMENT NO. 2283

  Mr. McCONNELL for Mr. Cohen proposed an amendment to the bill H.R. 
4426, supra; as follows:

       On page 112, between lines 9 and 10, insert the following 
     new section:

     SEC.  . POLICY REGARDING GERMAN PARTICIPATION IN 
                   INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) for more than four decades following the Second World 
     War, Germany was a divided nation;
       (2) notwithstanding the creation of the Federal Republic of 
     Germany on September 7, 1949, and the German Democratic 
     Republic on October 7, 1949, the Four Allied Powers retained 
     rights and responsibilities for Germany as a whole;
       (3) the Federal Republic of Germany acceded to the United 
     Nations Charter without reservation, ``accept[ing] the 
     obligations contained in the Charter . . . and solemnly 
     undertak[ing] to carry them out'', and was admitted as a 
     member of the United Nations on September 26, 1973;
       (4) the Federal Republic of Germany's admission to the 
     United Nations did not alter Germany's division nor infringe 
     upon the rights and responsibilities of the Four Allied 
     Powers for Germany as a whole;
       (5) these circumstances created impediments to the Federal 
     Republic of Germany fulfilling all obligations undertaken 
     upon its accession to the United Nations Charter;
       (6) Germany was unified within the Federal Republic of 
     Germany on October 3, 1990;
       (7) with the entry into force of the Final Settlement With 
     Respect to Germany on March 4, 1991, the unified Germany 
     assumed its place in the community of nations as a fully 
     sovereign national state;
       (8) German unification and attainment of full sovereignty 
     and the Federal Republic's history of more than four decades 
     of democracy have removed impediments that have prevented its 
     full participation in international efforts to maintain or 
     restore international peace and security;
       (9) international peacekeeping, peacemaking, and peace-
     enforcing operations are becoming increasingly important for 
     the maintenance and restoration of international peace and 
     security;
       (10) United Nations Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
     has called for the ``full participation of Germany in 
     peacekeeping, peacemaking, and peace-enforcing measures'';
       (11) the North Atlantic Council, meeting in ministerial 
     session on June 4, 1992, and December 17, 1992, stated the 
     preparedness of the North Atlantic Alliance to ``support, on 
     a case-by-case basis in accordance with our own procedures, 
     peacekeeping activities under the responsibility of the 
     Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe'' and 
     ``peacekeeping operations under the authority of the United 
     Nations Security Council'';
       (12) the Federal Republic of Germany participated in these 
     North Atlantic Council meetings and fully associated itself 
     with the resulting communiques;
       (13) the Western European Union (WEU) Ministerial Council, 
     in the Petersberg Declaration adopted June 19, 1992, declared 
     that ``As the WEU develops its operational capabilities in 
     accordance with the Maastricht Declaration, we are prepared 
     to support, on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with 
     our own procedures, the effective implementation of conflict-
     prevention and crisis-management measures, including 
     peacekeeping activities of the CSCE or the United Nations 
     Security Council'';
       (14) the Federal Republic of Germany presided over this 
     Western European Union Ministerial Council meeting and fully 
     associated itself with the Petersberg Declaration;
       (15) the Federal Republic of Germany, by virtue of its 
     political, economic, and military status and potential, will 
     play an important role in determining the success or failure 
     of future international efforts to maintain or restore 
     international peace and security;
       (16) the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany has ruled 
     that the Basic Law of Germany permits the Armed Forces of 
     Germany to participate in international military operations, 
     including combat operations, conducted under a system of 
     collective security, including the United Nations, the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization, and the Western European Union;
       (17) Germany is currently engaged in a debate on the proper 
     role for the German military in the international community;
       (18) one important element in the German debate is the 
     attitude of the international community toward full German 
     participation in international peacekeeping, peacemaking, and 
     peace-enforcing operations;
       (19) it is, therefore, appropriate for the United States, 
     as a member of the international community and as a permanent 
     member of the United Nations Security Council, to express its 
     position on the question of such German participation; and
       (20) distinctions between peacekeeping, peacemaking, and 
     peace-enforcing measures are becoming blurred, making 
     absolute separation of such measures difficult, if not 
     impossible.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) an appropriate response under current circumstances to 
     Germany's past would be for Germany to participate fully in 
     international efforts to maintain or restore international 
     peace and security; and
       (2) the President should strongly encourage Germany, in 
     light of its increasing political and economic influence, its 
     successful integration into international institutions, and 
     its commitment to peace and democratic ideals, to assume full 
     and active participation in international peacekeeping, 
     peacemaking, and peace-enforcing operations.

   REGARDING THE EXTRADITION TO THE UNITED STATES OF MOHAMMAD ISMAIL 
                                 ABEQUA

       Sec.   .(a) The Senate finds that--
       (1) Mohammad Ismail Abequa is a naturalized United States 
     citizen who is alleged to have strangled his estranged wife, 
     Nihal Abequa, in Morris County, New Jersey on July 3, 1994;
       (2) Mohammad Ismail Abequa fled to Amman, Jordan on July 5, 
     1994, with the couple's two children Sami and Lisa, aged 3 
     and 6 years old, respectively;
       (3) New Jersey officials have confirmed that Mohammad 
     Ismail Abequa arrived in Amman on July 6, 1994, via an 
     international flight from London and that he had the two 
     children in his custody upon arrival in Jordan;
       (4) Mohammad Ismail Abequa reportedly has a record of wife 
     beating and child abuse while living in New Jersey, and the 
     children could be in danger;
       (5) the children have a close relative, Nihal's sister, 
     who, reportedly, will care for and nurture them in New 
     Jersey; and
       (6) the personal involvement of King Hussein of Jordan in 
     finding the children quickly could prevent their serious 
     injury by Abequa.
       (b) The Senate hereby express its concern both that 
     Mohammad Ismail Abequa be brought to justice and that the 
     safety of the two children held by Abequa be ensured.
       (c) It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) The Government of Jordan should use its resources to 
     apprehend and extradite Mohammad Ismail Abequa to the United 
     States where he will be afforded the due process of the laws 
     of the State of New Jersey; and
       (2) the appropriate officials of the Department of Justice 
     and the Department of State should work aggressively toward 
     that goal.
