         ``DIVISION A--STREAMLINING OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AGENCIES

                      TITLE I--GENERAL PROVISIONS

     SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Foreign Affairs 
     Agencies Streamlining Act of 1995''.

     SEC. 102. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) With the end of the Cold War, the international 
     challenges facing the United States have changed, but the 
     fundamental national interests of the United States have not. 
     The security, economic, and humanitarian interests of the 
     United States require continued American engagement in 
     international affairs. The leading role of the United States 
     in world affairs will be as important in the twenty first 
     century as it has been in the twentieth.
       (2) The United States budget deficit requires that the 
     foreign as well as the domestic programs and activities of 
     the United States be carefully reviewed for potential 
     savings. Wherever possible, foreign programs and activities 
     must be streamlined, managed more efficiently, and adapted to 
     the requirements of the post-Cold War era.
       (3) As part of an overall review to foster efficiencies in 
     the executive branch, the President has had under review the 
     organization and functions of those departments and agencies 
     responsible for administering the international affairs (150) 
     budget function.
       (4) The President deserves commendation for the results of 
     such review to date, including significant numbers of foreign 
     posts closed and personnel reductions made by some foreign 
     affairs agencies.
       (5) In order to achieve further budgetary savings and 
     eliminate overlapping responsibilities and duplication of 
     efforts in the foreign programs and activities of the United 
     States without jeopardizing United States interests, 
     continued careful review and strong effective leadership will 
     be required.
       (6) A streamlined foreign affairs structure under the 
     leadership of the President can more effectively promote the
      international interests of the United States in the next 
     century.

      TITLE II--ONGOING REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS MANAGEMENT

     SEC. 201. REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AGENCIES.

       (a) Review.--The President shall review, as part of an 
     overall effort to foster efficiencies in the executive 
     branch, the programs described in the Foreign Assistance Act 
     of 1961 and the Arms Export Control Act, as well as other 
     initiatives within the administration of international 
     affairs programs, to determine how best to achieve the cost 
     savings and streamlining.
       (b) Considerations.--The review conducted pursuant to 
     subsection (a) shall include a review of--
       (1) any additional costs or cost savings that would result 
     from reorganizing the agencies administering programs under 
     the international affairs (150) budget function;
       (2) the management implications of any agency 
     reorganization;
       (3) the optimal organizational structure for the foreign 
     affairs agencies;
       (4) the implications for United States foreign policy and 
     United States foreign assistance programs of any agency 
     reorganization;
       (5) the justification for staffing levels of non-foreign 
     affairs agencies overseas, including the Departments of 
     Commerce, Defense, Justice, Treasury, and any intelligence 
     agencies;
       (6) the extent to which the activities of such non-foreign 
     affairs agencies contribute to United States foreign policy 
     and national security interests;
       (7) the implications for the United States foreign 
     operations of recent developments in communications 
     technology;
       (8) the feasibility of centralizing worldwide financial 
     services of all foreign affairs agencies in the United 
     States, including the feasibility of moving all such services 
     to a location outside of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan 
     area;
       (9) the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of contracting 
     with private companies or other United States Government 
     agencies for certain services, including payroll, vendor 
     payments, and Foreign Service pension payments systems, 
     medical examination programs, and certain training programs; 
     and
       (10) efforts to consolidate management of all U.S. 
     international exchange programs to eliminate duplication and 
     overlap.
       (c) Report.--Not later than six months after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report on the results 
     of the comprehensive review required by subsection (a).

     SEC. 202. REORGANIZATION AUTHORITY

       (a) Authority.--The President is authorized to submit to 
     the Congress a reorganization plan, if he determines such 
     reorganization is necessary, to enhance the coordination, 
     effectiveness, and efficiency of programs within the 
     international affairs (150) budget function.
       (b) Exception.--Any plan submitted pursuant to the 
     authority of subsection (a) may be submitted pursuant to 
     chapter 9 of title 5 (relating to executive reorganization) 
     of the United States Code, notwithstanding section 905(b) of 
     that chapter.
                               H.R. 1561

                        Offered By: Mr. Ackerman

     be abolished or its functions transferred or consolidated 
     with another such agency pursuant to this division or any 
     other provision of this Act relating to reorganization unless 
     the Director of the Congressional Budget Office and the 
     Director of the Office of Management and Budget independently 
     calculate and submit to the Congress a joint report analyzing 
     the costs and benefits of any such action.

     by subsection (a) shall include, but not be limited to--
       (1) An assessment of direct and indirect costs for the

     provisions of this division or any other provision of this 
     Act relating to reorganization; and
       (2) The effects of consolidation on personnel, management 
     systems, real property, decisionmaking processes, 
     administrative costs, and costs associated with terminating, 
     amending, renegotiating, or negotiating existing and new 
     contracts.
       (c) Further Congressional Action Required.--Notwithstanding 
     any other provision of this act, if the Director of the 
     Congressional Budget Office and the Director of the Office of 
     Management and Budget either jointly or independently 
     determine and report that the costs associated with the 
     consolidation required by this division or any other 
     provision of this act relating to reorganization exceed the 
     fiscal year 1995 operating costs of the affected agencies, 
     such provisions shall not become effective unless--
       (1) the President determines that such consolidation is in 
     the national interest of the United States; or
       (2) a joint resolution is enacted specifying that such 
     provisions shall become effective upon enactment of such 
     resolution.
       Redesignate sections 501 through 511 as sections 502

         ``DIVISION A--STREAMLINING OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AGENCIES

                      TITLE I--GENERAL PROVISIONS

     SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Foreign Affairs 
     Agencies Streamlining Act of 1995''.

     SEC. 102. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) With the end of the Cold War, the international 
     challenges facing the United States have changed, but the 
     fundamental national interests of the United States have not. 
     The security, economic, and humanitarian interests of the 
     United States require continued American engagement in 
     international affairs. The leading role of the United States 
     in world affairs will be as important in the twenty first 
     century as it has been in the twentieth.
       (2) The United States budget deficit requires that the 
     foreign as well as the domestic programs and activities of 
     the United States be carefully reviewed for potential 
     savings. Wherever possible, foreign programs and activities 
     must be streamlined, managed more efficiently, and adapted to 
     the requirements of the post-Cold War era.
       (3) As part of an overall review to foster efficiencies in 
     the executive branch, the President has had under review the 
     organization and functions of those departments and agencies 
     responsible for administering the international affairs (150) 
     budget function.
       (4) The President deserves commendation for the results of 
     such review to date, including significant numbers of foreign 
     posts closed and personnel reductions made by some foreign 
     affairs agencies.
       (5) In order to achieve further budgetary savings and 
     eliminate overlapping responsibilities and duplication of 
     efforts in the foreign programs and activities of the United 
     States without jeopardizing United States interests, 
     continued careful review and strong effective leadership will 
     be required.
       (6) A streamlined foreign affairs structure under the 
     leadership of the President can more effectively promote the 
     international interests of the United States in the next 
     century.

      TITLE II--ONGOING REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS MANAGEMENT

     SEC. 201. REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AGENCIES.

       (a) Review.--The President shall review, as part of an 
     overall effort to foster efficiencies in the executive 
     branch, the programs described in the Foreign assistance Act 
     of 1961 and the Arms Export Control Act, as well as other 
     initiatives within the administration of international 
     affairs programs, to determine how best to achieve the cost 
     savings and streamlining.
       (b) Considerations.--The review conducted pursuant to 
     subsection (a) shall include a review of--
       (1) any additional costs or cost savings that would result 
     from reorganizing the agencies administering programs under 
     the international affairs (150) budget function;
       (2) the management implications of any agency 
     reorganization;
       (3) the optimal organizational structure for the foreign 
     affairs agencies;
       (4) the implications for United States foreign policy and 
     United States foreign assistance programs of any agency 
     reorganization;
       (5) the justification for staffing levels of non-foreign 
     affairs agencies overseas, including the Departments of 
     Commerce, Defense, Justice, Treasury, and any intelligence 
     agencies;
       (6) the extent to which the activities of such non-foreign 
     affairs agencies contribute to the United States foreign 
     policy and national security interests;
       (7) the implications for the United States foreign 
     operations of recent developments in communications 
     technology;
       (8) the feasibility of centralizing worldwide financial 
     services of all foreign affairs agencies in the United 
     States, including the feasibility of moving all such services 
     to a location outside of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan 
     area;
       (9) the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of contracting 
     with private companies or other United States Government 
     agencies for certain services, including payroll, vendor 
     payments, and Foreign Service pension payments systems, 
     medical examination programs, and certain training programs; 
     and
       (10) efforts to consolidate management of all U.S. 
     international exchange programs to eliminate duplication and 
     overlap.
       (c) Report.--Not later than six months after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report on the results 
     of the comprehensive review required by subsection (a).

     SEC. 202. REORGANIZATION AUTHORITY.

       (a) Authority.--The President is authorized to submit to 
     the Congress a reorganization plan, if he determines such 
     reorganization is necessary, to enhance the coordination, 
     effectiveness, and efficiency of programs within the 
     international affairs (150) budget function.
       (b) Exception.--Any plan submitted pursuant to the 
     authority of subsection (a) may be submitted pursuant to 
     chapter 9 of title 5 (relating to executive reorganization) 
     of the United States Code, notwithstanding section 905(b) of 
     that chapter.

     following section:

     SEC. 2712. POLICY TOWARD IRAN.

       (a) Iran's Acts of International Terrorism.--The Congress 
     makes the following fundings with respect to Iran's acts of 
     international terrorism:
       (1) As cited by the Department of State, the Government of 
     Iran was the greatest supporter of state terrorism in 1992, 
     supporting over 20 terrorist acts, including the bombing of 
     the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires that killed 29 people.
       (2) As cited by the Department of State, the Government of 
     Iran is a sponsor of radical religious groups that have used 
     terrorism as a tool. These include such groups as Hezballah, 
     HAMAS, the Turkish Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for 
     the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC).
       (3) As cited by the Department of State, the Government of 
     Iran has resorted to international terrorism as a means of 
     obtaining political gain. These actions have included not 
     only the assassination of former Prime Minister Bakhitiar, 
     but the
      death sentence imposed on Salman Rushdie, and the 
     assassination of the leader of the Kurdish Democratic 
     Party of Iran.
       (4) As cited by the Department of State and the Vice 
     President's Task Force on Combating Terrorism, the Government 
     of Iran has long been a proponent of terrorist actions 
     against the United States, beginning with the takeover of the 
     United States Embassy in Tehran in 1979. Iranian support of 
     extremist groups has led to the following attacks upon the 
     United States as well:
       (A) The car bomb attack on the United States Embassy in 
     Beirut killing 49 in 1983 by the Hezballah.
       (B) The car bomb attack on the United States Marine 
     Barracks in Beirut killing 241 in 1983 by the 
     Hezballah. [[Page H5475]] 
       (C) The assassination of American University President in 
     1984 by the Hezballah.
       (D) The kidnapping of all American hostages in Lebanon from 
     1984-86 by the Hezballah.
       (5) The Government of Iran provides several hundred million 
     dollars annually in financial and logistical support to 
     organizations that use terrorism and violence as a tool to 
     undermine the Middle East peace process.
       (6) The Government of Iran provides financial, political, 
     and logistical support and safe haven to groups that seek the 
     violent overthrow of secular governments in the Middle East 
     and North Africa.
       (b) Iran's Program To Acquire Weapons of Mass Destruction 
     and the Means by Which To Deliver Them.--The Congress makes 
     the following findings with respect to Iran's program to 
     acquire weapons of mass destruction and the means by which to 
     deliver them--
       (1) the Government of Iran has intensified its efforts to 
     develop weapons of mass destruction and the means by which to 
     deliver them;
       (2) given Iran's petroleum reserves, the desire of the 
     Government of Iran to obtain gas centrifuge equipment and 
     light water nuclear power reactors clearly demonstrates what 
     had already been apparent, that Iran seeks to develop its 
     nuclear weapons capability; and
       (3) Iran has been relentless in its attempt to acquire the 
     missiles needed to deliver nuclear and chemical weapons.
       (c) Iran's Violations of Human Rights.--The Congress makes 
     the following findings with respect to Iran's violations of 
     human rights:
       (1) As cited by the 1991 United Nations Special 
     Representative on Human Rights, Amnesty International, and 
     the United States Department of State, the Government of Iran 
     has conducted assassinations outside of Iran, such as that of 
     former Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhitiar for which the 
     Government of France issued arrest warrants for several 
     Iranian governmental officials.
       (2) As cited by the 1991 United Nations Special 
     Representative on Human Rights and by Amnesty International, 
     the Government of Iran has conducted revolutionary trials 
     which do not meet internationally recognized standards of 
     fairness or justice. These trials have included such 
     violations as a lack of procedural safeguards, trial times of 
     5 minutes or less, limited access to defense counsel, forced 
     confessions, and summary executions.
       (3) As cited by the 1991 United Nations Special 
     Representative on Human Rights, the Government of Iran 
     systematically represses its Baha'i population. Persecutions 
     of this small religious community include assassinations, 
     arbitrary arrests,
      electoral prohibitions, and denial of applications for 
     documents such as passports.
       (4) As cited by the 1991 United Nations Special 
     Representative on Human Rights, the Government of Iran 
     suppresses opposition to its government. Political 
     organizations such as the Freedom Movement are banned from 
     parliamentary elections, have their telephones tapped and 
     their mail opened, and are systematically harassed and 
     intimidated.
       (5) As cited by the 1991 United Nations Special 
     Representative on Human Rights and Amnesty International, the 
     Government of Iran has failed to recognize the importance of 
     international human rights. This includes suppression of 
     Iranian human rights movements such as the Freedom Movement, 
     lack of cooperation with international human rights 
     organizations such as the International Red Cross, and an 
     overall apathy toward human rights in general. This lack of 
     concern prompted the Special Representative to state in his 
     report that Iran had made ``no appreciable progress towards 
     improved compliance with human rights in accordance with the 
     current international instruments''.
       (6) As cited by Amnesty International, the Government of 
     Iran continues to torture its political prisoners. Torture 
     methods include burns, arbitrary blows, severe beatings, and 
     positions inducing pain.
       (d) United States Policy and Response.--The Congress makes 
     the following findings with respect to United States policy 
     and response to Iran:
       (1) The actions by the Government of Iran identified in 
     subsections (a), (b), and (c) threaten the national security 
     and offend the democratic values of the United States and 
     many other nations in the Middle East and elsewhere.
       (2) In response to this record of violent, destabilizing, 
     and antidemocratic conduct, it has been the policy of the 
     United States to seek to isolate the Government of Iran 
     diplomatically and economically, thereby making the 
     continuation of such conduct increasingly costly.
       (3) The policies the United States has pursued in an effort 
     to pressure the Government of Iran diplomatically and 
     economically have included refusing to conduct normal 
     diplomatic relations with Iran; barring the importation of 
     Iranian oil and other products into the United States; 
     prohibiting the export or reexport to Iran of weapons or of 
     goods or technology with potential military uses; voting 
     against all loans to Iran by international financial 
     institutions; and, most recently, imposing a total economic 
     embargo on Iran.
       (4) To further increase the cost to the Government of Iran 
     of its objectionable conduct the United States has urged 
     other countries with economic ties to Iran to take equivalent 
     steps to isolate Iran economically and diplomatically.
       (e) Congressional Declarations.--The Congress makes the 
     following declarations:
       (1) The imposition of an economic embargo on Iran by 
     President Clinton was an important and necessary measure to 
     increase economic and political pressure on Iran.
       (2) The President should, as a matter of the highest 
     priority, intensify efforts to persuade Iran's leading trade 
     partners and creditors to join with the United States in 
     ceasing all trade with Iran and ending any rescheduling or 
     other relaxation of debts owed to them.
       (3) The President should take whatever steps are 
     appropriate to dissuade those who are aiding Iran's efforts 
     to develop nuclear weapons and the means by which to deliver 
     them from continuing such assistance.
       (4) The United States should convene a special summit of 
     the world's leading heads of state to address the issue of 
     international terrorism and the means for improving the 
     efforts to combat international terrorism.
       (5) The Secretary of State should promptly take steps to 
     strengthen each of the existing multilateral nonproliferation 
     regimes to make them more effective in counteracting rogue 
     regimes such as Iran.
       (6) The President should make the development of a 
     multilateral economic embargo on Iran a top priority on the 
     agenda at the meeting of the G-7 industrial partners 
     scheduled for June 1995 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

       Amendment No. 45: In title XXVI (relating to foreign policy 
     provisions) insert the following at the end of chapter 1:

     SEC. 2604. BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA SELF-DEFENSE ACT.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Bosnia 
     and Herzegovina Self-Defense Act''.
       (b) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Serbian aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina 
     continues into its third year, the violence has escalated and 
     become widespread, and ethnic cleansing by Serbs has been 
     renewed.
       (2) It has been almost one year since the Bosnian 
     Government unconditionally, and on time, accepted the 
     ``Contact Group'' plan, which the Serb forces have rejected.
       (3) The United Nations has failed to protect its declared 
     safe havens from continuing and relentless Serbian 
     aggression, and has failed to order North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization (NATO) air strikes against Serb forces in 
     retaliation for their attacks on Sarajevo, despite calls from 
     its own field commander to do so.
       (4) The United Nations Security Council has not considered 
     a resolution providing for the multilateral termination of 
     the arms embargo against Bosnia and Herzegovina, which would 
     be the preferred course of action to allow that country to 
     defend itself.
       (5) The United Nations Security Council has not taken 
     measures necessary to maintain international peace and 
     security in Bosnia and Herzegovina since the aggression 
     against that country began in April 1992.
       (6) For the reasons stated in section 520 of the Foreign 
     Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995 
     (Public Law 103-236), the Congress has found that continued 
     application of an international arms embargo to the 
     Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina contravenes that 
     Government's inherent right of individual or collective self-
     defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, and 
     therefore is inconsistent with international law.
       (c) Statement of Purpose.--The Congress supports the 
     efforts of the Government of the Republic of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina--
       (1) to defend its people and the territory of the Republic;
       (2) to preserve the sovereignty, independence, and 
     territorial integrity of the Republic; and
       (3) to bring about a peaceful, just, fair, viable, and 
     sustainable settlement of the conflict in Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina.
       (d) Termination of Arms Embargo.--
       (1) Termination.--The President shall terminate the United 
     States arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina upon receipt from that Government of a request 
     for assistance in exercising its right of self-defense under 
     Article 51 of the United States Charter.
       (2) Definition.--As used in this section, the term ``United 
     States arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina'' means the application to the Government of 
     Bosnia and Herzegovina of--
       (A) the policy adopted July 10, 1991, and published in the 
     Federal Register of July 19, 1991 (58 F.R. 33322) under the 
     heading ``Suspension of Munitions Export Licensees to 
     Yugoslavia''; and
       (B) any similar policy applied by the United States 
     Government as of the date of receipt of the request described 
     in paragraph (1) pursuant to which approval is denied for 
     transfers of defense articles and defense services to the 
     former Yugoslavia. [[Page H5478]] 
       (3) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     interpreted as authorization for deployment of United States 
     forces in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina for any 
     purpose, including training, support, or delivery of military 
     equipment.

     following section:

     SEC. 2712. POLICY TOWARD IRAN.

       (a) Iran's Acts of International Terrorism.--The Congress 
     makes the following findings with respect to Iran's acts of 
     international terrorism:
       (1) As cited by the Department of State, the Government of 
     Iran was the greatest supporter of state terrorism in 1992, 
     supporting over 20 terrorist acts, including the bombing of 
     the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires that killed 29 people.
       (2) As cited by the Department of State, the Government of 
     Iran is a sponsor of radical religious groups that have used 
     terrorism as a tool. These include such groups as Hezballah, 
     HAMAS, the Turkish Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for 
     the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-
     GC).
       (3) As cited by the Department of State, the Government of 
     Iran has resorted to international terrorism as a means of 
     obtaining political gain. These actions have included not 
     only the assassination of former Prime Minister Bakhitiar, 
     but the death sentence imposed on Salman Rushdie, and the 
     assassination of the leader of the Kurdish Democratic Party 
     of Iran.
       (4) As cited by the Department of State and the Vice 
     President's Task Force on Combating Terrorism, the Government 
     of Iran has long been a proponent of terrorist actions 
     against the United States, beginning with the takeover of the 
     United States Embassy in Tehran in 1979. Iranian support of 
     extremist groups has led to the following attacks upon the 
     United States as well:
       (A) The car bomb attack on the United States Embassy in 
     Beirut killing 49 in 1983 by the Hezballah.
       (B) The car bomb attack on the United States Marine 
     Barracks in Beirut killing 241 in 1983 by the Hezballah.
       (C) The assassination of American University President in 
     1984 by the Hezballah.
       (D) The kidnapping of all American hostages in Lebanon from 
     1984-86 by the Hezballah.
       (5) The Government of Iran provides several hundred million 
     dollars annually in financial and logistical support to 
     organizations that use terrorism and violence as a tool to 
     undermine the Middle East peace process.
       (6) The Government of Iran provides financial, political, 
     and logistical support and safe haven to groups that seek the 
     violent overthrow of secular governments in the Middle East 
     and North Africa.
       (b) Iran's Program To Acquire Weapons of Mass Destruction 
     and the Means by Which To Deliver Them.--The Congress makes 
     the following findings with respect to Iran's program to 
     acquire weapons of mass destruction and the means by which to 
     deliver them--
       (1) the Government of Iran has intensified its efforts to 
     develop weapons of mass destruction and the means by which to 
     deliver them;
       (2) given Iran's petroleum reserves, the desire of the 
     Government of Iran to obtain gas centrifuge equipment and 
     light water nuclear power reactors clearly demonstrates what 
     had already been apparent, that Iran seeks to develop its 
     nuclear weapons capability; and [[Page H5479]] 
       (3) Iran has been relentless in its attempt to acquire the 
     missiles needed to deliver nuclear and chemical weapons.
       (c) Iran's Violations of Human Rights.--The Congress makes 
     the following findings with respect to Iran's violations of 
     human rights:
       (1) As cited by the 1991 United Nations Special 
     Representative on Human Rights, Amnesty International, and 
     the United States Department of State, the Government of Iran 
     has conducted assassinations outside of Iran, such as that of 
     former Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhitiar for which the 
     Government of France issued arrest warrants for several 
     Iranian governmental officials.
       (2) As cited by the 1991 United Nations Special 
     Representative on Human Rights and by Amnesty International, 
     the Government of Iran has conducted revolutionary trials 
     which do not meet internationally recognized standards of 
     fairness or justice. These trials have included such 
     violations as a lack of procedural safeguards, trial times of 
     5 minutes or less, limited access to defense counsel, forced 
     confessions, and summary executions.
       (3) As cited by the 1991 United Nations Special 
     Representative on Human Rights, the Government of Iran 
     systematically represses its Baha'i population. 
     Persecutions of this small religious community include 
     assassinations, arbitrary arrests, electoral prohibitions, 
     and denial of applications for documents such as passports.
       (4) As cited by the 1991 United Nations Special 
     Representative on Human Rights, the Government of Iran 
     suppresses opposition to its government. Political 
     organizations such as the Freedom Movement are banned from 
     parliamentary elections, have their telephones tapped and 
     their mail opened, and are systematically harassed and 
     intimidated.
       (5) As cited by the 1991 United Nations Special 
     Representative on Human Rights and Amnesty International, the 
     Government of Iran has failed to recognize the importance of 
     international human rights. This includes suppression of 
     Iranian human rights movements such as the Freedom Movement, 
     lack of cooperation with international human rights 
     organizations such as the International Red Cross, and an 
     overall apathy toward human rights in general. This lack of 
     concern prompted the Special Representative to state in his 
     report that Iran had made ``no appreciable progress towards 
     improved compliance with human rights in accordance with the 
     current international instruments''.
       (6) As cited by Amnesty International, the Government of 
     Iran continues to torture its political prisoners. Torture 
     methods include burns, arbitrary blows, severe beatings, and 
     positions inducing pain.
       (d) United States Policy and Response.--The Congress makes 
     the following findings with respect to United States policy 
     and response to Iran:
       (1) The actions by the Government of Iran identified in 
     subsections (a), (b), and (c) threaten the national security 
     and offend the democratic values of the United States and 
     many other nations in the Middle East and elsewhere.
       (2) In response to this record of violent, destabilizing, 
     and antidemocratic conduct, it has been the policy of the 
     United States to seek to isolate the Government of Iran 
     diplomatically and economically, thereby making the 
     continuation of such conduct increasingly costly.
       (3) The policies the United States has pursued in an effort 
     to pressure the Government of Iran diplomatically and 
     economically have included refusing to conduct normal 
     diplomatic relations with Iran; barring the importation of 
     Iranian oil and other products into the United States; 
     prohibiting the export or reexport to Iran of weapons or of 
     goods or technology with potential military uses; voting 
     against all loans to Iran by international financial
      institutions; and, most recently, imposing a total economic 
     embargo on Iran.
       (4) To further increase the cost to the Government of Iran 
     of its objectionable conduct the United States has urged 
     other countries with economic ties to Iran to take equivalent 
     steps to isolate Iran economically and diplomatically.
       (e) Congressional Declarations.--The Congress makes the 
     following declarations:
       (1) The imposition of an economic embargo on Iran by 
     President Clinton was an important and necessary measure to 
     increase economic and political pressure on Iran.
       (2) The President should, as a matter of the highest 
     priority, intensify efforts to persuade Iran's leading trade 
     partners and creditors to join with the United States in 
     ceasing all trade with Iran and ending any rescheduling or 
     other relaxation of debts owed to them.
       (3) The President should take whatever steps are 
     appropriate to dissuade those who are aiding Iran's efforts 
     to develop nuclear weapons and the means by which to deliver 
     them from continuing such assistance.
       (4) The United States should convene a special summit of 
     the world's leading heads of state to address the issue of 
     international terrorism and the means for improving the 
     efforts to combat international terrorism.
       (5) The Secretary of State should promptly take steps to 
     strengthen each of the existing multilateral nonproliferation 
     regimes to make them more effective in counteracting rogue 
     regimes such as Iran.
       (6) The President should make the development of a 
     multilateral economic embargo on Iran a top priority on the 
     agenda at the meeting of the G-7 industrial partners 
     scheduled for June 1995 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

     (relating to congressional statements), add the following new 
     section:

     SEC. 2712. CONFLICT IN CHECHNYA.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Russian troops advanced into Chechnya on December 10, 
     1994, and were met with strong resistance from Chechen rebels 
     who have now moved to the Caucasus mountains where they are 
     engaging in what even the most optimistic Russian military 
     officers predict will be a drawn-out guerrilla war.
       (2) The cost of the Chechen battle is estimated to cost the 
     Government of Russia at least $2,000,000,000 and will further 
     exacerbate the budget deficit of the Government of Russia.
       (3) The budget implications of the Chechen battle may 
     compel the International Monetary Fund, in which the United 
     States is the largest shareholder, to abandon its efforts to 
     assist Russia in transforming itself into a free market 
     economy.
       (4) The United States has approved over $2,400,000,000 in 
     loan guarantees through the Export-Import Bank of the United 
     States and the Overseas Private Investment 
     Corporation. [[Page H5481]] 
       (5) The United States has provided Russia with significant 
     direct assistance to promote a free market economy, support 
     democracy, meet humanitarian needs, and dismantle nuclear 
     weapons.
       (b) Declaration of Policy.--The Congress declares the 
     following:
       (1) United States investment in Russia has been significant 
     in promoting democracy and stabilizing the economy of Russia 
     and this progress is imperiled and undermined by Russia's 
     continued war with Chechnya.
       (2) President Yeltsin has refused to negotiate an end to 
     this crisis and this action illustrates an indifference to 
     the economic implications the Chechen war would bring to bear 
     on the ability of Russia to fulfill its commitments to the 
     International Monetary Fund, the Export-Import Bank of the 
     United States, and the Overseas Private Investment 
     Corporation.
       (3) The involvement of Russia in Chechnya shows an alarming 
     disregard for abiding by the principles of economic 
     cooperation contained in the Partnership for Economic 
     Progress that were agreed upon in September 1994 during the 
     United States-Russia Washington Summit.
       (4) In further contacts with President Yeltsin, it is 
     imperative that President Clinton request an immediate end to 
     the war in Chechnya.

     regional provisions), add the following new sections:

     SEC. 3314. ASSISTANCE FOR LAOS.

       (a) It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) a permanent waiver on the prohibition of foreign 
     assistance for Laos should be granted following the fullest 
     possible accounting of all outstanding POW/MIA cases 
     involving Laos;
       (2) the United States should continue to improve its 
     relationship with Laos as the mutual cooperation between the 
     two countries on POW/MIA issues improves;
       (3) no Lao citizen or government official should be held 
     accountable by the United States for activities involved in 
     holding America POW/MIAs if those citizens or officials 
     cooperate with efforts to return such POW/MIAs alive or to 
     otherwise account for such POW/MIAs;
       (4) the future relationship of the United States with Laos 
     should be characterized by economic cooperation and friendly 
     diplomatic ties;
       (5) such bilateral relationship will improve as respect for 
     human rights in Laos improves, including human rights for 
     Hmong people; and
       (6) in the event an American POW/MIA is returned alive from 
     Laos, the United States should view this action as a positive 
     development and as strong incentive for the United States to 
     rapidly improve our economic and diplomatic relationship with 
     Laos.
       (b) Notwithstanding section 620 of the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961 and any other provision of law, foreign 
     assistance may be provided for Laos for fiscal years 1996 and 
     1997 only if the President determines and certifies to the 
     Congress that the Government of Laos is fully cooperating 
     with the United States on all outstanding POW/MIA cases 
     involving Laos.
