                              S. Res. 102

       Whereas Pakistan and the United States have been allies 
     since 1947, and throughout the difficult days of the Cold 
     War;
       Whereas Pakistan was a front-line state against Soviet 
     totalitarian expansionism and worked with the United States 
     to successfully end the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan;
       Whereas Pakistan has been in the forefront of United 
     Nations peacekeeping operations, recently being the largest 
     contributor of forces to United Nations peacekeeping 
     operations;
       Whereas Pakistan has cooperated with the United States in 
     the apprehension and swift extradition of Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, 
     the alleged mastermind of the terrorist attack on the World 
     Trade Center in New York City;
       Whereas Pakistan's economy is being increasingly 
     liberalized and opened to outside investors and businesses;
       Whereas there are increasing opportunities for economic 
     cooperation between Pakistan and the United States as a 
     result of private sector agreements for investment in 
     Pakistan's energy sector and other pending agreements;
       Whereas Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who has worked to 
     strengthen Pakistan's close relationship with the United 
     States, was reelected to office in October, 1993 and is 
     scheduled to visit the United States on an official visit in 
     April; Therefore be it
       Resolved, That the United States Senate--
       (1) welcomes the visit of Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto to 
     the United States as a sign of the warm, enduring friendship 
     between the U.S. and Pakistan; and
       (2) pledges to work with the government of Pakistan to 
     strengthen the U.S.-Pakistan relationship in the years ahead.
