  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. SIMPSON submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       On page 124, below line 20, add the following:
      TITLE VII--POPULATION STABILIZATION AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

     SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``International Population 
     Stabilization and Reproductive Health Act''.

     SEC. 702. AUTHORITIES RELATING TO UNITED STATES POPULATION 
                   ASSISTANCE.

       Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended--
       (1) in section 104(b), by striking ``on such terms and 
     conditions as he may determine'' and inserting ``in 
     accordance with the provisions of chapter 12''; and
       (2) by adding at the end the following new chapter:

           ``CHAPTER 12--UNITED STATES POPULATION ASSISTANCE

       ``Sec. 499. Definition.--For purposes of this chapter, the 
     term `United States population assistance' means assistance 
     provided under section 104(b) of this Act.
       ``Sec. 499A. Congressional Findings.--The Congress makes 
     the following findings:
       ``(1) Throughout much of the developing world, the 
     inability of women and couples to exercise choice over 
     childbearing undermines the role of women in economic 
     development, contributes to death and suffering among women 
     and their children, puts pressure on the environment and the 
     natural resources on which many poor families depend for 
     their survival, and in other ways vitiates the efforts of 
     families to lift themselves out of the poverty in which more 
     than one billion of the world's 5.7 billion people live.
       ``(2) Through 2015, the world's population will continue to 
     grow, with annual population increments predicted to be above 
     86 million. This will lead to a tripling of the world's 
     population before stabilization can occur.
       ``(3) As the population within individual countries grows, 
     cities grow rapidly, movement in and between countries 
     increases, and regional distributions of population become 
     unbalanced.
       ``(4) After more than a quarter century of experience and 
     research, a global consensus is emerging on the need for 
     increased international cooperation in regard to population 
     in the context of sustainable development.
       ``(5) To act effectively on this consensus, the ability to 
     exercise reproductive choice should be expanded through 
     broader dissemination of fertility regulation services that 
     involve women, couples, and the community and which meet 
     individual, family, and community needs and values.
       ``(6) In addition to the personal toll on families, the 
     impact of human population 

[[Page S 10974]]
     growth and widespread poverty is evident in mounting signs of stress on 
     the world's environment, particularly in tropical 
     deforestation, erosion of arable land and watersheds, 
     extinction of plant and animal species, global climate 
     change, waste management, and air and water pollution.
       ``Sec. 499B. Declaration of Policy. (a) In General.--
     Congress declares that to reduce population growth and 
     stabilize world population at the lowest level feasible and 
     thereby improve the health and well-being of the world's 
     families, to ensure the role of women in the development 
     process, and to protect the global environment, an important 
     objective of the foreign policy of the United States shall be 
     to assist the international community to achieve universal 
     availability of quality fertility regulation services through 
     a wide choice of safe and effective means of family planning, 
     including programs of public education and other health and 
     development efforts in support of smaller families.
       ``(b) Financial Targets.--The Congress endorses a target 
     for global expenditures in developing countries of at least 
     $17,000,000,000 by the year 2000 for population programs 
     described in section 499C, and establishes a goal for United 
     States population assistance by the year 2000 of 
     $1,850,000,000 in constant 1993 dollars.
       ``Sec. 499C. Authorized Activities.--United States 
     population assistance is authorized to provide--
       ``(1) support for the expansion of quality, affordable, 
     voluntary family planning services, which emphasize informed 
     choice among a variety of safe and effective fertility 
     regulation methods and closely related reproductive health 
     care services, including the prevention and control of HIV-
     AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and reproductive tract 
     infections;
       ``(2) support for adequate and regular supplies of quality 
     contraceptives, quality family planning counseling, 
     information, education, communication, and services 
     emphasizing the use of the mass media to improve public 
     knowledge of fertility regulation and related disease 
     prevention methods and where they may be obtained and to 
     promote the benefits of family planning and reproductive 
     health to individuals, families, and communities;
       ``(3) support to United States and foreign research 
     institutions and other appropriate entities for biomedical 
     research to develop and evaluate improved methods of safe 
     fertility regulation and related disease control, with 
     particular emphasis on methods which--
       ``(A) are likely to be safer, easier to use, easier to make 
     available in developing country settings, and less expensive 
     than current methods;
       ``(B) are controlled by women, including barrier methods 
     and vaginal microbicides;
       ``(C) are likely to prevent the spread of sexually 
     transmitted diseases; and
       ``(D) encourage and allow men to take greater 
     responsibility for their own fertility;
       ``(4) support for field research on the characteristics of 
     programs most likely to result in sustained use of effective 
     family planning in meeting each individual's lifetime 
     reproductive goals, with particular emphasis on the 
     perspectives of family planning users, including support for 
     relevant social and behavioral research focusing on such 
     factors as the use, nonuse, and unsafe or ineffective use of 
     various fertility regulation and related-disease control 
     methods;
       ``(5) support for the development of new evaluation 
     techniques and performance criteria for family planning 
     programs, emphasizing the family planning user's perspective 
     and reproductive goals;
       ``(6) support for research and research dissemination 
     related to population policy development, including 
     demographic and health surveys to assess population trends, 
     measure unmet needs, and evaluate program impact, and support 
     for policy-relevant research on the relationships between 
     population trends, poverty, and environmental management, 
     including implications for sustainable agriculture, 
     agroforestry, biodiversity, water resources, energy use, and 
     local and global climate change;
       ``(7) support for prevention of unsafe abortions and 
     management of complications of unsafe abortions, including 
     research and public information dissemination on the health 
     and welfare consequences;
       ``(8) support for special programs to reach adolescents and 
     young adults before they begin childbearing, including health 
     education programs which stress responsible parenthood and 
     the health risks of unprotected sexual intercourse, as well 
     as service programs designed to meet the information and 
     contraception needs of adolescents;
       ``(9) support for a broad array of governmental and 
     nongovernmental communication strategies designed--
       ``(A) to create public awareness worldwide;
       ``(B) to generate a consensus on the need to address 
     reproductive health issues and the problems associated with 
     rapid population growth;
       ``(C) to emphasize the need to educate men as well as women 
     and mobilize their support for reproductive rights and 
     responsibilities; and
       ``(D) to remove all major remaining barriers to family 
     planning use, including unnecessary legal, medical, clinical, 
     and regulatory barriers to information and methods, and to 
     make family planning an established community norm; and
       ``(10) support for programs and strategies that actively 
     discourage harmful practices such as female genital 
     mutilation.
       ``Sec. 499D. Terms and Conditions.--United States 
     population assistance is authorized to be provided subject to 
     the restrictions on such assistance set forth in section 
     104(f) and subject to the following conditions:
       ``(1) Such assistance may only support, directly or through 
     referral, those activities which provide a broad range of 
     fertility regulation methods permitted by individual country 
     policy and a broad choice of public and private family 
     planning services, including networks for community-based and 
     subsidized commercial distribution of high quality 
     contraceptives.
       ``(2) No program supported by United States population 
     assistance may deny an individual family planning services 
     because of such individual's inability to pay all or part of 
     the cost of such services.
       ``(3) In each recipient country, programs supported by 
     United States population assistance shall, to the extent 
     possible, support a coordinated approach, consistent with 
     respect for the rights of women as decisionmakers in matters 
     of reproduction and sexuality, for the provision of public 
     and private reproductive health services.
       ``(4) Family planning services and related reproductive 
     health care services supported by United States population 
     assistance shall ensure--

     furnish only those contraceptive drugs and devices which have 
     received approval for marketing in the United States by the 
     Food and Drug Administration or which have been tested and 
     determined to be safe and effective under research protocols 
     comparable to those required by the Food and Drug 
     Administration or have been determined to be safe by an 
     appropriate international organization or the relevant health 
     authority in the country to which they are provided.

     population assistance shall be designed to take into account 
     the needs of the family planning user, including the 
     constraints on women's time, by involving members of the 
     community, including both men and women, in the design, 
     management, and ongoing evaluation of the services through 
     appropriate training and recruitment efforts. The design of 
     services shall stress easy accessibility, by locating 
     services as close as possible to potential users, by keeping 
     hours of service convenient, and by improving communications 
     between users and providers through community outreach and 
     involvement. Related service shall be included, either on 
     site or through referral.
       ``(7) United States population assistance to adolescent 
     fertility programs shall be provided in the context of 
     prevailing norms and customs in the recipient country.

       ``(9) None of the funds made available by the United States 
     Government to foreign governments, international 
     organizations, or nongovernmental organizations may be used 
     to coerce any person to undergo sterilization or abortion or 
     to accept any other method of fertility regulation.
       ``Sec. 499E. Eligibility for Population Assistance. (a) 
     Eligible Countries.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, United States population assistance shall be available, 
     directly or through intermediary organizations, to any 
     country which the President determines has met one or more of 
     the following criteria:
       ``(1) The country accounts for a significant proportion of 
     the world's annual population increment.
       ``(2) The country has significant unmet needs for fertility

     applicable to foreign governments for such assistance.
       ``Sec. 499F. Participation in Multilateral Organizations. 
     (a) Finding.--The Congress recognizes that the recent 
     attention, in government policies toward population 
     stabilization owes much to the efforts of the

     United Nations and its specialized agencies and organizations, 
     particularly the United Nations Population Fund.
       ``(b) Availability of Funds.--United States population 
     assistance shall be available for contributions to the United 
     Nations Population Fund in such amounts as the President

     section 104(f) of this Act shall apply to the funds made 
     available for the United Nations Population Fund.

     available to the United Nations Population Fund unless such 
     assistance is held in a separate account and not commingled

     available for the Special Programme of Research, Development 
     and Research Training in Human Reproduction for each of the 
     fiscal years 1995 and 1996 an amount commensurate with the

     furthering international cooperation in the development and 
     evaluation of fertility regulation technology.

     Finding.--Congress finds that in many developing countries, 
     nongovernmental entities, including private and voluntary 
     organizations and private sector entities, are the most 
     appropriate and effective providers of United States 
     assistance to population and family planning activities.
       ``(b) Procedures.--The President shall establish simplified 
     procedures for the development and approval of programs to be

       Section 104(g)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 
     U.S.C. 2151b(g)(1) is amended by amending subparagraph (A) to

     SEC. 704. OVERSIGHT OF MULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) multilateral development banks have an important role 
     to play in global population efforts;
       (2) although the increased commitment by multilateral 
     development banks to population-related activities is 
     encouraging, together the banks provided less than 
     $200,000,000 in 1994 in assistance for core population 
     programs, and their overall lending for population, health, 
     and nutrition decreased by more than one-half between 1993 
     and 1994; and
       (3) the banks themselves have recognized a need to improve 
     oversight of programs, strengthen the technical skills of 
     their personnel, and improve their capacity to work with 
     borrowers, other donors, and nongovernmental organizations in 
     formulating creative population projects to meet diverse 
     borrower needs.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the multilateral development banks should increase their 
     annual support for the population activities described in 
     section 499C of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as added 
     by this Act, to not less than a total of $1,000,000,000 by 
     December 31, 2000.
       (c) Report Required.--Not later than July 31 of each year, 
     the Secretary of the Treasury shall prepare and transmit to 
     Congress a report which includes, with respect to the 
     preceding calendar year--
       (1) information on the resources made available by each 
     multilateral development bank for the population activities 
     described in section 499C of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
     1961, as added by this Act;
       (2) if such resources total less than $1,000,000,000, any 
     specific actions taken by the United States executive 
     directors to the banks to encourage increases in such 
     resources and in policy-level discussions with donor and 
     developing country governments; and
       (3) an analysis of the progress made by the banks towards--
       (A) meeting the objectives of the population activities 
     which are supported by the banks;
       (B) increasing their in-country management staff;
       (C) improving the technical skills of their personnel; and
       (D) assuring their responsiveness to borrower needs.
       (d) Definition.--As used in this section, the term 
     ``multilateral development banks'' means the International 
     Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International 
     Development Association, the African Development Bank, the 
     Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, 
     and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

     SEC. 705. ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES TO 
                   STABILIZE WORLD POPULATION.

       (a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress makes the 
     following findings:
       (1) Women represent 50 percent of the world's human 
     resource potential. Therefore, improving the health, social, 
     and economic status of women and increasing their 
     productivity are essential for economic progress in all 
     countries. Improving the status of women also enhances their 
     decisionmaking capacity at all levels in all spheres of life, 
     including in the area of reproductive health.
       (2) Throughout the world, women who participate in the 
     social, economic, and political affairs of their communities 
     are more likely to exercise their choice about childbearing 
     than women who do not participate in such activities.
       (3) Effective economic development strategies address 
     issues such as infant and child survival rates, educational 
     opportunities for girls and women, and equality in 
     development.
       (4) Comprehensive population stabilization efforts which 
     include both family planning services and economic 
     development activities achieve lower birth rates and 
     stimulate more development than those which pursue these 
     objectives independently.
       (5) The most powerful, long-term influence on birthrates is 
     education, especially educational attainment among women. 
     Education is one of the most important means of empowering 
     women with the knowledge, skills and self confidence 
     necessary to participate in their communities.
       (6) In most societies, men traditionally have exercised 
     preponderant power in nearly all spheres of life. Therefore, 
     improving communication between men and women on reproductive 
     health issues and increasing their understanding of joint 
     responsibilities are essential to ensuring that men and women 
     are equal partners in public and private life.
       (7) In addition to enabling women to participate in the 
     development of their societies, educational attainment has a 
     strong influence on all other aspects of family welfare, 
     including child survival. However, of the world's 130 million 
     children who are not enrolled in primary school, 70 percent 
     are girls.
       (8) In a number of countries, lower rates of school 
     enrollment among girls, the practice of prenatal sex 
     selection, and higher rates of mortality among very young 
     girls suggest that ``son preference'' is curtailing the 
     access of girl children to food, health care, and education.
       (9) Each year, more than 13 million children under the age 
     of 5 die, most from preventable causes. Wider availability of 
     vaccines, simple treatments for diarrheal disease and 
     respiratory infections, and improved nutrition could prevent 
     many of these deaths.
       (10) Each year, 500,000 or more women worldwide die from 
     complications related to pregnancy, childbirth, illegal 
     abortion, or inadequate or inaccessible reproductive health 
     care services, and millions more annually suffer long-term 
     illness or permanent physical impairment from such causes.
       (11) By mid-1993, the cumulative number of AIDS cases since 
     the pandemic began was estimated at 2.5 million, and an 
     estimated 14 million people had been infected with HIV. By 
     year 2000, estimates are that 40 million people will be HIV 
     infected.
       (12) As of mid-1993, four-fifths of all persons ever 
     infected with HIV lived in developing countries. Women are 
     the fastest growing group of new cases.
       (b) Declaration of Policy.--Congress declares that, to 
     further the United States foreign policy objective of 
     assisting the international community in achieving universal 
     availability of quality fertility regulation services and 
     stabilizing world population, additional objectives of the 
     foreign policy of the United States shall be--

[[Page S 10976]]

       (1) to help achieve universal access to basic education for 
     women and men, with particular priority being given to 
     primary and technical education and job training;
       (2) to increase understanding of the consequences of 
     population growth through effective education strategies that 
     begin in primary school and continue through all levels of 
     formal and nonformal education and which take into account 
     the rights and responsibilities of parents and the needs of 
     children and adolescents;
       (3) to reduce the gap between male and female levels of 
     literacy and between male and female levels of primary and 
     secondary school enrollment;
       (4) to help ensure that women worldwide have the 
     opportunity to become equal partners with men in the 
     development of their societies;
       (5) to help eliminate all forms of discrimination against 
     girl children and the root causes of son preference, which 
     result in harmful and unethical practice such as female 
     infanticide and prenatal sex selection;
       (6) to increase public awareness of the value of girl 
     children through public education that promotes equal 
     treatment of girls and boys in health, nutrition, education, 
     socioeconomic and political activity, and equitable 
     inheritance rights;
       (7) to encourage and enable men to take responsibility for 
     their sexual and reproductive behavior and their social and 
     family roles;
       (8) to help ensure that women and men have the information 
     and means needed to achieve good reproductive health and to 
     exercise their reproductive rights through responsible sexual 
     behavior and equity in gender relations;
       (9) to reduce global maternal and infant mortality rates; 
     and
       (10) to improve worldwide maternal and child health status 
     and quality of life.
       (c) Authorized Activities.--United States development 
     assistance shall be available, on a priority basis, for--
       (1) countries which either have adopted and implemented, or 
     have agreed to adopt and implement, strategies to help 
     ensure--
       (A) before 2015, the achievement of the goal of universal 
     primary education for girls and boys in all countries and

     female levels of literacy and between male and female levels 
     of primary and secondary school enrollment; and
       (D) the establishment of programs designed to meet 
     adolescent health needs, which include services and 
     information on responsible sexual behavior, family planning 
     practice, reproductive health and sexually transmitted 
     diseases, and HIV-AIDS prevention;
       (2) governmental and nongovernmental programs which, with 
     respect to a targeted country, are intended--
       (A) by 2005, to increase life expectancy at birth to 
     greater than 70 years of age and by 2015, to 75 years of age;
       (B) by 2005, to reduce by one-third the country's mortality 
     rates for infants and children under 5 years of age, or to 50 
     per 1,000 live births for infants and 70 per 1,000 for 
     children under 5 years of age, whichever is less; and by 
     2015, to reduce the country's infant mortality rate below 35 
     per 1,000 births and the under-5 mortality rate below 45 per 
     1,000;
       (C) by 2005, to reduce maternal mortality by one-half of 
     the 1990 level and by a further one-half by 2015;
       (D) by 2005, to reduce significantly malnutrition among the 
     country's children under 5 years of age;
       (E) to maintain immunizations against childhood diseases 
     for significant segments of the country's children; and
       (F) to reduce the number of childhood deaths in the country 
     which result from diarrheal disease and acute respiratory 
     infections;
       (3) governmental and nongovernmental programs which are 
     intended to increase women's productivity and ensure equal 
     participation and equitable representation at all levels of 
     the political process and public life in each community and 
     society through--
       (A) improved access to appropriate labor-saving technology, 
     vocational training, and extension services and access to 
     credit and child care;
       (B) equal participation of women and men in all areas of 
     family and household responsibilities, including family

       (C) fulfillment of the potential of women through 
     education, skill development and employment, with the 
     elimination of poverty, illiteracy and poor health among 
     women being of paramount importance; and
       (D) recognition and promotion of the equal value of 
     children of both sexes;

       (d) Safe Motherhood Initiative.--(1)(A) The President is 
     authorized to establish a grant program, to be known as the 
     Safe Motherhood Initiative, to help improve the access of 
     girls and women worldwide to comprehensive reproductive

as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:

     SEC.  . HONDURAS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In 1981, a secret Honduran army death squad known as 
     Battalion 316 was created. During the 1980's Battalion 316 
     engaged in a campaign of systematically kidnapping, torturing 
     and murdering suspected subversives. Victims included 
     Honduran students, teachers, labor leaders and journalists. 
     In 1993 there were 184 unsolved cases of persons who were 
     allegedly ``disappeared.'' They are presumed dead.
       (2) At the time, Administration officials were aware of the 
     activities of Battalion 316 but failed to inform the 
     Congress. In its 1983 human rights report, the State 
     Department stated that ``There are no political prisoners in 
     Honduras.''
       (b) Declassification of Documents.--It is the sense of the 
     Congress that the President should order the expedited 
     declassification of any documents in the possession of the 
     United States Government pertaining to persons who allegedly 
     ``disappeared'' in Honduras, and promptly make such documents 
     available to Honduran authorities who are seeking to 
     determine the fate of these individuals.

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. LEAHY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:

     SEC.   . LANDMINE USE MORATORIUM.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On September 26, 1994, the President declared that it 
     is a goal of the United States to eventually eliminate 
     antipersonnel landmines.
       (2) On December 15, 1994, the United Nations General 
     Assembly adopted a resolution sponsored by the United States 
     which called for international efforts to eliminate 
     antipersonnel landmines.
       (3) According to the Department of States, there are an 
     estimated 80,000,000 to 110,000,000 unexploded landmines in 
     62 countries.
       (4) Antipersonnel landmines are routinely used against 
     civilian populations and kill and maim an estimated 70 people 
     each day, or 26,000 people each year.
       (5) The Secretary of State has noted that landmines are 
     ``slow-motion weapons of mass destruction''.
       (6) There are hundreds of varieties of antipersonnel 
     landmines, from a simple type available at a cost of only two 
     dollars to the more complex self-destructing type, and all 
     landmines of whatever variety kill and maim civilians, as 
     well as combatants, indiscriminately.
       (b) Conventional Weapons Convention Review.--It is the 
     sense of Congress that, at the United Nations conference to 
     review the 1980 Conventional Weapons Convention, including 
     Protocol II on landmines, that is to be held from September 
     25 to October 13, 1995, the President should actively support 
     proposals to modify Protocol II that would implement as 
     rapidly as possible the United States goal of eventually 
     eliminating antipersonnel landmines.
       (c) Moratorium on Use of Antipersonnel Landmines.--
       (1) United States Moratorium.--(A) For a period of one year 
     beginning three years after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, the United States shall not use antipersonnel landmines 
     except along internationally recognized national borders 
     within a perimeter marked area that is monitored by military 
     personnel and protected by adequate means to ensure that 
     exclusion of civilians.
       (B) If the President determines, before the end of the 
     period of the United States moratorium under subparagraph 
     (A), that the governments of other nations are implementing 
     moratoria on use of antipersonnel landmines similar to the 
     United States moratorium, the President may extend the period 
     of the United States moratorium for such additional period as 
     the President considers appropriate.
       (2) Other Nations.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
     President should actively encourage the governments of other 
     nations to join the United States in solving the global 
     landmine crisis by implementing moratoria on use of 
     antipersonnel landmines similar to the United States 
     moratorium as a step toward the elimination of antipersonnel 
     landmines.
       (d) Antipersonnel Landmine Exports.--It is the sense of 
     Congress that, consistent with the United States moratorium 
     on exports of antipersonnel landmines and in order to further 
     discourage the global proliferation of antipersonnel 
     landmines, the United States Government should not sell, 
     license of export, or otherwise transfer defense articles and 
     services to any foreign government which, as determined by 
     the President, sells, exports, or otherwise transfers 
     antipersonnel landmines.

[[Page S 10978]]

       (e) Definitions.--For purposes of this Act:
       (1) Antipersonnel landmine.--The term ``antipersonnel 
     landmine'' means any munition placed under, on, or near the 
     ground or other surface area, delivered by artillery, rocket, 
     mortar, or similar means, or dropped from an aircraft and 
     which is designed, constructed, or adapted to be detonated or 
     exploded by the presence, proximity, or contact of a person.
       (2) 1980 conventional weapons convention.--The term ``1980 
     Conventional Weapons Convention'' means the Convention on 
     Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain 
     Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed To Be Excessively 
     Injurious or To Have Indiscriminate Effects, together with 
     the protocols relating thereto, done at Geneva on October 10, 
     1980.

                           SETTLEMENT REPORTS

     SEC. ____01. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``WTO Dispute Settlement 
     Review Commission Act''.
     
[[Page S 10981]]


     SEC. ____02. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The United States joined the WTO as an original member 
     with the goal of creating an improved global trading system 
     and providing expanded economic opportunities for United 
     States firms and workers, while preserving United States 
     sovereignty.
       (2) The American people must receive assurances that United 
     States sovereignty will be protected, and United States 
     interests will be advanced, within the global trading system 
     which the WTO will oversee.
       (3) The WTO's dispute settlement rules are meant to enhance 
     the likelihood that governments will observe their WTO 
     obligations, and thus help ensure that the United States will 
     reap the full benefits of its participation in the WTO.
       (4) United States support for the WTO depends on obtaining 
     mutual trade benefits through the openness of foreign markets 
     and the maintenance of effective United States and WTO 
     remedies against unfair or otherwise harmful trade practices.
       (5) Congress passed the Uruguay Round Agreements Act based 
     on its understanding that effective trade remedies would not 
     be eroded. These remedies are essential to continue the 
     process of opening foreign markets to imports of goods and 
     services and to prevent harm to American industry and 
     agriculture.
       (6) In particular, WTO dispute settlement panels and the 
     Appellate Body should--
       (A) operate with fairness and in an impartial manner;
       (B) not add to the obligations, or diminish the rights, of 
     WTO members under the Uruguay Round Agreements; and
       (C) observe the terms of reference and any applicable WTO 
     standard of review.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to provide 
     for the establishment of the WTO Dispute Settlement Review 
     Commission to achieve the objectives described in subsection 
     (a)(6).

     SEC. ____03. ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMISSION.

       (a) Establishment.--There is established a commission to be 
     known as the WTO Dispute Settlement Review Commission 
     (hereafter in this title referred to as the ``Commission'').
       (b) Membership.--
       (1) Composition.--The Commission shall be composed of 5 
     members all of whom shall be judges of the Federal judicial

     member of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of 
     Representatives, and the chairman and ranking member of the 
     Committee on Finance of the Senate.
       (2) Date.--The appointments of the initial members of the 
     Commission shall be made no later than 90 days after the date 
     of the enactment of this title.
       (c) Period of Appointment; Vacancies.--
       (1) In general.--Members of the Commission first appointed 
     shall each be appointed for a term of 5 years. After the 
     initial 5-year term, 3 members of the Commission shall be 
     appointed for terms of 3 years and the remaining 2 members 
     shall be appointed for terms of 2 years.
       (2) Vacancies.--
       (A) In general.--Any vacancy on the Commission shall not 
     affect its powers, but shall be filled in the same manner as 
     the original appointment and shall be subject to the same

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Middle 
     East Peace Facilitation Act of 1995''.
       (b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Palestine Liberation Organization (in this section 
     referred to as the ``PLO'') has recognized the State of 
     Israel's right to exist in peace and security; accepted 
     United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338; 
     committed itself to the peace process and peaceful 
     coexistence with Israel, free from violence and all other 
     acts which endanger peace and stability; and assumed 
     responsibility over all PLO elements and personnel in order 
     to assure their compliance, prevent violations, and 
     discipline violators;

[[Page S 10984]]

       (2) Israel has recognized the PLO as the representative of 
     the Palestinian people;
       (3) Israel and the PLO signed a Declaration of Principles 
     on Interim Self-Government Arrangements (in this section 
     referred to as the ``Declaration of Principles'') on 
     September 13, 1993, at the White House;
       (4) Israel and the PLO signed an Agreement on the Gaza 
     Strip and the Jericho Area (in this section referred to as 
     the ``Gaza-Jericho Agreement'') on May 4, 1994, which 
     established a Palestinian Authority for the Gaza and Jericho 
     areas;
       (5) Israel and the PLO signed an Agreement on Preparatory 
     Transfer of Powers and Responsibilities (in this section 
     referred to as the ``Early Empowerment Agreement'') on August 
     29, 1994, which provided for the transfer to the Palestinian 
     Authority of certain powers and responsibilities in the West 
     Bank outside of the Jericho Area;
       (6) under the terms of the Declaration of Principles, the 
     Gaza-Jericho Agreement and the Early Empowerment Agreement, 
     the powers and responsibilities of the Palestinian Authority 
     are to be assumed by an elected Palestinian Council with 
     jurisdiction in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in accordance 
     with the Interim Agreement to be concluded between Israel and 
     the PLO;
       (7) permanent status negotiations relating to the West Bank 
     and Gaza Strip are scheduled to begin by May 1996;
       (8) the Congress has, since the conclusion of the 
     Declaration of Principles and the PLO's renunciation of 
     terrorism, provided authorities to the President to suspend 
     certain statutory restrictions relating to the PLO, subject 
     to Presidential certifications that the PLO has continued to 
     abide by commitments made in and in connection with or 
     resulting from the good faith implementation of, the 
     Declaration of Principles;
       (9) the PLO commitments relevant to Presidential 
     certifications have included commitments to renounce and 
     condemn terrorism, to submit to the Palestinian National 
     Council for formal approval the necessary changes to those 
     articles of the Palestinian Covenant which call for Israel's 
     destruction, and to prevent acts of terrorism and hostilities 
     against Israel; and
       (10) the President, in exercising the authorities described 
     in paragraph (8), has certified to the Congress on four 
     occasions that the PLO was abiding by its relevant 
     commitments.
       (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that although the PLO has recently shown improvement in its 
     efforts to fulfill its commitments, the PLO must do far more 
     to demonstrate an irrevocable denunciation of terrorism and 
     ensure a peaceful settlement of the Middle East dispute, and 
     in particular the PLO must--
       (1) submit to the Palestine National Council for formal 
     approval the necessary changes to those articles of the 
     Palestinian National Covenant which call for Israel's 
     destruction;
       (2) make greater efforts to preempt acts of terror, to 
     discipline violators, and to contribute to stemming the 
     violence that has resulted in the deaths of 123 Israeli 
     citizens since the signing of the Declaration of Principles;
       (3) prohibit participation in its activities and in the 
     Palestinian Authority and its successors by any groups or 
     individuals which continue to promote and commit acts of 
     terrorism;
       (4) cease all anti-Israel rhetoric, which potentially 
     undermines the peace process;
       (5) confiscate all unlicensed weapons and restrict the 
     issuance of licenses to those with legitimate need;
       (6) transfer any person, and cooperate in transfer 
     proceedings relating to any person, accused by Israel of acts 
     of terrorism; and
       (7) respect civil liberties, human rights and democratic 
     norms.
       (d) Authority To Suspend Certain Provisions.--
       (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), beginning on the 
     date of enactment of this Act and for 18 months thereafter 
     the President may suspend for a period of not more than 6 
     months at a time any provision of law specified in paragraph 
     (4). Any such suspension shall cease to be effective after 6 
     months, or at such earlier date as the President may specify.
       (2) Conditions.--
       (A) Consultations.--Prior to each exercise of the authority 
     provided in paragraph (1) or certification pursuant to 
     paragraph (3), the President shall consult with the relevant 
     congressional committees. The President may not exercise that 
     authority to make such certification until 30 days after a 
     written policy justification is submitted to the relevant 
     congressional committees.
       (B) Presidential certification.--The President may exercise 
     the authority provided in paragraph (1) only if the President

     exercise such authority;

     described in subparagraph (D); and

     used for the purposes for which they were intended.
       (C) Requirement for continuing plo compliance.--
       (i) The President shall ensure that PLO performance is 
     continuously monitored, and if the President at any time 
     determines that the PLO has not continued to comply with all 
     the commitments described in subparagraph (D), he shall so 
     notify the appropriate congressional committees. Any 
     suspension under paragraph (1) of a provision of law 
     specified in paragraph (4) shall cease to be effective.
       (ii) Beginning six months after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, if the President on the basis of the continuous 
     monitoring of the PLO's performance determines that the PLO 
     is not complying with the requirements described in paragraph 
     (3), he shall so notify the appropriate congressional 
     committees and no assistance shall be provided pursuant to 
     the exercise by the President of the authority provided by 
     paragraph (1) until such time as the President makes the 
     certification provided for in paragraph (3).

     written policy justification to be submitted to the relevant 
     congressional committees pursuant to subparagraph (A), the 
     President shall report on--
       (i) the manner in which the PLO has complied with the

     actions to discipline perpetrators of terror and violence,

     submitted to the Palestine National Council for formal 
     approval;
       (B) the PLO has exercised its authority resolutely to

     SEC. 1501. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING UNITED NATIONS REFORM.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the 50th anniversary of the United Nations provides an 
     important opportunity for a comprehensive review of the 
     strengths and weaknesses of the United Nations and for the 
     identification and implementation of changes in the United 
     Nation that would improve its ability to discharge 
     effectively the objectives of the United Nations set forth in 
     the United Nations Charter;
       (2) the structure of the United Nations system, which has 
     evolved over 50 years, should be subject to a comprehensive 
     review in order to identify the changes to the system that 
     will best serve the interests of the United States and of the 
     international community;
       (3) the United States, as the strongest member state of the 
     United Nations, should lead this comprehensive review;
       (4) reforms that produce a smaller, more focused, more 
     efficient United Nations with clearly defined missions are in 
     the interest of the United States and of the United Nations;
       (5) the United States should develop a unified position in 
     support of reforms at the United Nations that are broadly 
     supported by both the legislative branch and the executive 
     branch;
       (6) the need for reform of the United Nations is urgent; 
     and
       (7) the failure to develop and implement promptly a 
     strategic reorganization of the United Nations will result in 
     a continued diminution of the relevance of the United Nations 
     to United States foreign policy and to international politics

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. HELMS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

     SEC.   . MISSILE TECHNOLOGY CONTROL REGIME.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The threat posed to the national security of the United 
     States by the proliferation of ballistic and cruise missiles 
     is significant, and is growing, both quantitatively and 
     qualitatively.
       (2) An alarming number of countries possessing or producing 
     ballistic or cruise missiles have proven willing to help 
     others develop the same capability.
       (3) The Missile Technology Control Regime serves as an 
     important means of stopping or slowing the spread of 
     ballistic and cruise missiles by denying non-members access 
     to missile technology.
       (4) Sanctions, as mandated under the Arms Export Control 
     Act and the Export Administration Act of 1979, represent an 
     important means in stemming the proliferation of ballistic 
     missiles capable of reaching the United States.
       (5) The recent waiver of sanctions and the decision to 
     support countries which engage in active space programs for 
     membership in the Missile Technology Control Regime threatens 
     to eviscerate the regime.
       (6) These recent events underscore the need to reevaluate 
     the Missile Technology Control Regime and the mechanisms at 
     the United States' disposal for preventing the spread of 
     ballistic missiles.
       (b) In General.--The President shall seek a Senate 
     resolution of support prior to U.S. support of any State for 
     membership in the Missile Technology Control Regime.
       (c) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the Missile Technology Control Regime should not 
     continue to exempt national civilian space programs from its 
     controls and sanctions.
       (d) Report Required.--(1) Not later than December 1, 1995, 
     the Secretaries of Defense, State, and Commerce shall submit 
     unique reports to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations 
     and the Senate Armed Services Committee. These reports shall 
     include the following:
       (i) An explanation of the difference between a space-launch 
     vehicle and a ballistic missile, and an explanation of why 
     the export of space-launch vehicle components should not be 
     considered a violation of the Missile Technology Control 
     Regime.
       (ii) An identification of the rationale guiding the U.S. 
     position on offering transfers of missile technology as 
     inducements designed to encourage countries to join the 
     Missile Technology Control Regime.
       (iii) An assessment of whether or not the United States 
     should support or sponsor for membership in the Missile 
     Technology Control Regime any country pursuing a space-launch 
     program and the advantages of requiring countries to disband 
     their space-launch program prior to membership in the regime.
       (iv) An assessment of the potential military implications 
     of the transfer of missile technology to members of the 
     Missile Technology Control Regime who maintain space-launch 
     vehicle programs.
       (v) A detailed evaluation of the similarities and 
     differences in the export control system maintained by the 
     United States and those of Russia, China, Brazil, Ukraine, 
     Belarus, and Kazakhstan.
       (vi) An assessment of the on-going efforts made by 
     potential participant countries in the Missile Technology 
     Control Regime, including those listed in this subsection, to 
     meet the guidelines established by the Missile Technology 
     Control Regime.
       (2) In this section, the term ``Missile Technology Control 
     Regime'' means the policy statement between the United 
     States, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, 
     France, Italy, Canada, and Japan, announced on April 16, 
     1987, to restrict sensitive missile-relevant transfers based 
     on the Missile Technology Control Regime Annex, and any 
     amendments thereto.

                        HELMS AMENDMENT NO. 1927

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. HELMS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert:
       Whereas Slovakia has held free elections, has achieved 
     associate membership in the European Union and is an active 
     participant in NATO's Partnership for Peace;
       Whereas while the print media is free in Slovakia, the 
     state television and state news agency are in government 
     hands and have been used to advance the agenda of the ruling 
     coalition;
       Whereas opposition parliamentarians have been removed from 
     certain Parliamentary Committee which are now comprised 
     mainly or solely of government coalition parliamentarians and 
     at least one Parliamentary oversight body, that on the Slovak 
     Intelligence Service, has no opposition representation;
       Whereas the Slovak parliament has abandoned mass 
     privatization and has declared that the value of coupons 
     issued to Slovak citizens will now be drawn on the State 
     Property Fund rather than on shares in the companies it owns 
     opening up the possibility that the government will now be 
     able to sell state companies to single investors, an approach 
     which could favor those who are supporters of the ruling 
     coalition; and
       Whereas the political battle between the Slovak President 
     and Prime Minister has resulted in the government taking all 
     legal means to strip the President of certain powers in an 
     apparent attempt to intimidate the President into resigning, 
     steps which do not indicate respect for a division of powers 
     and representative government; Now therefore be it
       Resolved, That:
       1. the Senate supports an independent Slovakia and commends 
     the people of Slovakia for the steps they have taken and 
     their sacrifices as Slovakia moves from devastating communist 
     rule to a democratic and free market society.
       2. future consideration of Slovakia for accelerated NATO 
     transition assistance should be evaluated in terms of its 
     government's progress towards freedom of press, 
     representative government and privatization;
       3. consideration of all Central European countries for 
     accelerated NATO transition assistance above and beyond that 
     given to 

[[Page S 10994]]
     Partnership for Peace countries should taken into account the extent to 
     which each country makes significant progress towards meeting 
     NATO criteria as well as instituting political, economic, and 
     military reform.
                                 ______

                       INHOFE AMENDMENT NO. 1932

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. HELMS (for Mr. Inhofe) submitted an amendment intended to be 
proposed by him to the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:

     SEC.  . SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE GUATEMALAN PEACE 
                   PROCESS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Guatemalan peace process to end 34 years of 
     insurgency and internal armed confrontation has produced 6 
     agreements under the auspices of the United Nations as a 
     result of the leadership of Guatemalan President Ramiro de 
     Leon Carpio;
       (2) the agreements include accords on--
       (A) the protection of human rights;
       (B) the rights of indigenous peoples;
       (C) the treatment and rights of returning refugees; and
       (D) the establishment of a Historical Clarification 
     Commission to address past violations of human rights by both 
     Guatemalan government forces and the insurgent guerrilla 
     forces in the course of the 34-year internal armed 
     confrontation;
       (3) the Government of Guatemala has begun already to 
     implement the agreements reached in the peace process, 
     including the United National Human Rights Verification 
     Mission to Guatemala (MINUGUA), under which more than 400 
     international observers today are monitoring compliance by 
     the Government of Guatemala with the human rights accords and 
     other obligations of Guatemala with regard to human rights;
       (4) the government of President de Leon Carpio has taken 
     significant steps to strengthen and reform the Guatemalan 
     judicial system, law enforcement, and civil institutions;
       (5) under the reform constitution of 1985, Guatemala has 
     enjoyed 3 consecutive constitutional successions of power, 
     including the election of President de Leon Carpio by the 
     Guatemalan congress in the wake of the successful resistance 
     of congress, the Guatemalan constitutional court, the 
     Guatemalan military and the Guatemalan people to the abortive 
     attempted autocoup by then President Serrano;
       (6) Guatemala has announced elections for President and 
     congress in November 1995;
       (7) even in light of these substantial achievements to 
     date, all friends of Guatemala hope for more progress, 
     especially progress toward respect for human rights, the end 
     of immunity from prosecution, the punishment of individuals 
     who commit human rights violations, and the development of 
     strong civilian institutions; and
       (8) all friends of Guatemala should offer support for those 
     elements of the Guatemalan government, the Guatemalan 
     military, and Guatemalan society who are committed to 
     completing the peace process and to national reconciliation 
     now, in the time of transition, when that assistance can be 
     of greatest assistance.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress hereby--
       (1) encourages the President to continue to support the 
     just and speedy conclusion of the Guatemalan peace process 
     through its participation in the Group of Friends of the 
     Guatemalan Peace Process and otherwise; and
       (2) encourages the President to offer support to the 
     Guatemalan government in its efforts to reform and strengthen 
     civilian institutions, especially efforts to strengthen the 
     judicial system, law enforcement, and local government.

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)

       At the appropriate place, insert the following new section:

     SEC.  . NORTH-SOUTH DIALOGUE ON THE KOREAN PENINSULA AND THE 
                   UNITED STATES-NORTH KOREA AGREED FRAMEWORK.

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

[[Page S 10995]]

       (1) the Agreed Framework Between the United States and the 
     Democratic People's Republic of Korea of October 21, 1994, 
     states in Article III, paragraph (2), that ``[t]he DPRK will 
     consistently take steps to implement the North-South Joint 
     Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean 
     Peninsula'';
       (2) the Agreed Framework also states the ``[t]he DPRK will 
     engage in North-South dialogue, as this Agreed Framework will 
     help create an atmosphere that promotes such dialogue'';
       (3) the two agreements entered into between North and South 
     Korea in 1992, namely the North-South Denuclearization 
     Agreement and the Agreement on Reconciliation, Nonaggression 
     and Exchanges and Cooperation, provide an existing and 
     detailed framework for dialogue between North and South 
     Korea;
       (4) the North Korean nuclear program is just one of the 
     lingering threats to peace on the Korean Peninsula; and
       (5) the reduction of tensions between North and South Korea 
     directly serve United States interests, given the substantial 
     defense commitment of the United States to South Korea and 
     the presence on the Korean Peninsula of United States troops.
       (b) Steps Toward North-South Dialogue on the Korean 
     Peninsula.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) substantive dialogue between North and South Korea is 
     vital to the implementation of the Agreed Framework Between 
     the United States and North Korea, dated October 21, 1994; 
     and
       (2) together with South Korea and other concerned allies, 
     and in keeping with the spirit and letter of the 1992 
     agreements between North and South Korea, the President 
     should pursue measures to reduce tensions between North and 
     South Korea and should facilitate progress toward--
       (A) holding a North Korea-South Korea summit;
       (B) initiating mutual nuclear facility inspections by North 
     and South Korea;
       (C) establishing liaison offices in both North and South 
     Korea;
       (D) resuming a North-South joint military discussion 
     regarding steps to reduce tensions between North and South 
     Korea;
       (E) expanding trade relations between North and South 
     Korea;
       (F) promoting freedom to travel between North and South 
     Korea by citizens of both North and South Korea;
       (G) cooperating in science and technology; education, the 
     arts, health, sports, the environment, publishing, 
     journalism, and other fields of mutual interest;
       (H) establishing postal and telecommunications services 
     between North and South Korea; and
       (I) reconnecting railroads and roadways between North and 
     South Korea.
       (c) Report to Congress.--Beginning 3 months after the date 
     of enactment of this Act, and every 6 months thereafter, the 
     President shall transmit to the appropriate congressional 
     committees a report setting forth the progress made in 
     carrying out subsection (a).
       (d) Definitions.--As used in this section:

     ``appropriate congressional committees'' means the Committee 
     on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on 
     International Relations of the House of Representative.

     SEC. 2002 FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The economy of Cuba has experienced a decline of 
     approximately 60 percent in the last 5 years as a result of--
       (A) the reduction in subsidies from the former Soviet 
     Union;
       (B) 36 years of Communist tyranny and economic 
     mismanagement by the Castro government;
       (C) the precipitous decline in trade between Cuba and the 
     countries of the former Soviet bloc; and
       (D) the policy of the Russian Government and the countries 
     of the former Soviet bloc to conduct economic relations with 
     Cuba predominantly on commercial terms.
       (2) At the same time, the welfare and health of the Cuban 
     people have substantially deteriorated as a result of Cuba's 
     economic decline and the refusal of the Castro regime to 
     permit free and fair democratic elections in Cuba or to adopt 
     any economic or political reforms that would lead to 
     democracy, a market economy, or an economic recovery.
       (3) The repression of the Cuban people, including a ban on 
     free and fair democratic elections and the continuing 
     violation of fundamental human rights, has isolated the Cuban 
     regime as the only nondemocratic government in the Western 
     Hemisphere.
       (4) As long as no such economic or political reforms are 
     adopted by the Cuban government, the economic condition of 
     the country and the welfare of the Cuban people will not 
     improve in any significant way.
       (5) Fidel Castro has defined democratic pluralism as 
     ``pluralistic garbage'' and has made clear that he has no 
     intention of permitting free and fair democratic elections in 
     Cuba or otherwise tolerating the democratization of Cuban 
     society.
       (6) The Castro government, in an attempt to retain absolute 
     political power, continues to utilize, as it has from its 
     inception, torture in various forms (including psychiatric 
     abuse), execution, exile, confiscation, political 
     imprisonment, and other forms of terror and repression as 
     most recently demonstrated by the massacre of more than 40 
     Cuban men, women, and children attempting to flee Cuba.
       (7) The Castro government holds hostage in Cuba innocent 
     Cubans whose relatives have escaped the country.
       (8) The Castro government has threatened international 
     peace and security by engaging in acts of armed subversion 
     and terrorism, such as the training and supplying of groups 
     dedicated to international violence.
       (9) Over the past 36 years, the Cuban government has posed 
     a national security threat to the United States.
       (10) The completion and any operation of a nuclear-powered 
     facility in Cuba, for energy generation or otherwise, poses 
     an unacceptable threat to the national security of the United 
     States.
       (11) The unleashing on United States shores of thousands of 
     Cuban refugees fleeing Cuban oppression will be considered an 
     act of aggression.
       (12) The Government of Cuba engages in illegal 
     international narcotics trade and harbors fugitives from 
     justice in the United States.
       (13) The totalitarian nature of the Castro regime has 
     deprived the Cuban people of any peaceful means to improve 
     their condition and has led thousands of Cuban citizens to 
     risk or lose their lives in dangerous attempts to escape from 
     Cuba to freedom.
       (14) Attempts to escape from Cuba and courageous acts of 
     defiance of the Castro regime by Cuban pro-democracy and 
     human rights groups have ensured the international 
     community's continued awareness of, and concern for, the 
     plight of Cuba.
       (15) The Cuban people deserve to be assisted in a decisive 
     manner in order to end the tyranny that has oppressed them 
     for 36 years.
       (16) Radio Marti and Television Marti have been effective 
     vehicles for providing the people of Cuba with news and 
     information and have helped to bolster the morale of the 
     Cubans living under tyranny.
       (17) The consistent policy of the United States towards 
     Cuba since the beginning of the Castro regime, carried out by 
     both Democratic and Republican administrations, has sought to 
     keep faith with the people of Cuba, and has been effective in 
     isolating the totalitarian Castro regime.

     SEC. 2003. PURPOSES.

       The purposes of this division are--
       (1) to assist the Cuban people in regaining their freedom 
     and prosperity, as well as in joining the community of 
     democratic countries that are flourishing in the Western 
     Hemisphere;
       (2) to strengthen international sanctions against the 
     Castro government;
       (3) to provide for the continued national security of the 
     United States in the face of continuing threats from the 
     Castro government of terrorism, theft of property from United 
     States nationals, and the political manipulation of the 
     desire of Cubans to escape that results in mass migration to 
     the United States;
       (4) to encourage the holding of free and fair democratic 
     elections in Cuba, conducted under the supervision of 
     internationally recognized observers;
       (5) to provide a policy framework for United States support 
     to the Cuban people in response to the formation of a 
     transition government or a democratically elected government 
     in Cuba; and
       (6) to protect American nationals against confiscatory 
     takings and the wrongful trafficking in property confiscated 
     by the Castro regime.

   TITLE I--STRENGTHENING INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS AGAINST THE CASTRO 
                               GOVERNMENT

     SEC. 2101. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the acts of the Castro government, including its 
     massive, systematic, and extraordinary violations of human 
     rights, are a threat to international peace;
       (2) the President should advocate, and should instruct the 
     United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations 
     to propose and seek within the Security Council a mandatory 
     international embargo against the totalitarian government of 
     Cuba pursuant to chapter VII of the Charter of the United 
     Nations, employing efforts similar to consultations conducted 
     by United States representatives with respect to Haiti;
       (3) any resumption of efforts by any independent state of 
     the former Soviet Union to make operational the nuclear 
     facility at Cienfuegos, Cuba, and the continuation of 
     intelligence activities from Cuba targeted at the United 
     States and its citizens will have a detrimental impact on 
     United States and its citizens will have a detrimental impact 
     on United States assistance to such state; and
       (4) in view of the threat to the national security posed by 
     the operation of any nuclear facility, and the Castro 
     government's continuing blackmail to unleash another wave of 
     Cuban refugees fleeing from Castro's oppression, most of whom 
     find their way to other resources of the United States, the 
     President should do all in his power to make it clear to the 
     Cuban government that----
       (A) the completion and operation of any nuclear power 
     facility, or
       (B) any further political manipulation of the desire of 
     Cubans to escape that results in mass migration to the United 
     States

     will be considered an act of aggression which will be met 
     with an appropriate response in order to maintain the 
     security of the national borders of the United States and the 
     health and safety of the American people.

     SEC. 2102. AUTHORIZATION OF SUPPORT FOR DEMOCRATIC AND HUMAN

     agencies, entities or instrumentalities.
       (c) SUPERSEDING OTHER LAWS.--Assistance may be provided 
     under this section notwithstanding any other provision of

     requirements contained in sections of the annual foreign 
     operations, export financing, and related programs Act.

     immediate steps to apply the sanctions described in section 
     1704(b)(1) of such Act against countries assisting Cuba.

     ensure that United States diplomatic personnel abroad 
     understand and, in their contacts with foreign officials are 
     communicating the reasons for the United States economic 
     embargo of Cuba, and are urging foreign governments to 
     cooperate more effectively with the embargo.
       (c) Existing Regulations.--The President shall instruct the 
     Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General to enforce

     SEC. 2110. IMPORTATION SAFEGUARD AGAINST CERTAIN CUBAN 
                   PRODUCTS.

       (a) Statement of Policy.--(1) The Congress notes that 
     section 515.204 of title 31, Code of Federal Regulations, 
     that prohibits the entry of, and dealings outside the United 
     States in, merchandise that--
       (A) is of Cuban origin,
       (B) is or has been located in or transported from or 
     through Cuba, or
       (C) is made or derived in whole or in part of any article 
     which is the growth, produce, or manufacture of Cuba.
       (2) The Congress notes that United States accession to the 
     North American Free Trade Agreement does not modify or alter 
     the United States sanctions against Cuba, noting that the 
     statement of administrative action accompanying that trade 
     agreement specifically states the following:
       (A) ``The NAFTA rules of origin will not in any way 
     diminish the Cuban sanctions program. . . . Nothing in the 
     NAFTA would operate to override this prohibition.''.
       (B) ``Article 309(3) [of the NAFTA] permits the United 
     States to ensure that Cuban products or goods made from Cuban 
     materials are not imported into the United States from Mexico 
     or Canada and that United States products are not exported to 
     Cuba through those countries.''.
       (3) The Congress notes that section 902(c) of the Food 
     Security Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-198) required the 
     President not to allocate any of the sugar import quota to a 
     country that is a net importer of sugar unless appropriate 
     officials of that country verify to the President that the 
     country does not import for reexport to the United States any 
     sugar produced in Cuba.
       (4) Protection of essential security interests of the 
     United States requires enhanced assurances that sugar 
     products that are entered are not products of Cuba.
       (b) In General.--(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, no sugar or sugar product shall enter the United States 
     unless the exporter of the sugar or sugar product to the 
     United States has certified, to the satisfaction of the 
     Secretary of the Treasury, that the sugar or sugar product is 
     not a product of Cuba.
       (2) If the exporter described in paragraph (1) is not the 
     producer of the sugar or sugar product, the exporter may 
     certify the origin of the sugar or sugar product on the basis 
     of--
       (A) its reasonable reliance on the producer's written 
     representations as to the origin of the sugar or sugar 
     product; or
       (B) a certification of the origin of the sugar product by 
     its producer, that is voluntarily provided to the exporter by 
     the producer.
       (c) Certification.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall 
     prescribe the form, content, and manner of submission of the 
     certification (including documentation) required in 
     connection with the entry of sugar or sugar products, in 
     order to ensure the strict enforcement of this section. Such 
     certification shall be in a form sufficient to satisfy the 
     Secretary that the exporter has taken steps to ensure that it 
     is not exporting to the United States sugar or sugar products 
     that are a product of Cuba.
       (d) Penalties.--
       (1) Unlawful acts.--It is unlawful to--
       (A) enter any product or article if such entry is 
     prohibited under subsection (b), or
       (B) make a false certification under subsection (c).
       (2) Forfeiture.--Any person or entity that violates 
     paragraph (1) shall forfeit to the United States--
       (A) in the case of a violation of paragraph (1)(A), the 
     goods entered in violation of paragraph (1)(A), and
       (B) in the case of a violation of paragraph (1)(B), the 
     goods entered pursuant to the false certification that is the 
     subject of the violation.
       (3) Enforcement.--The Customs Service may exercise the 
     authorities it has under sections 581 through 641 of the 
     Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1581 through 1641) in order to 
     carry out paragraph (2).
       (e) Reports to Congress.--The Secretary of the Treasury 
     shall report to the Congress on any unlawful acts and 
     penalties imposed under subsection (d).
       (f) Publication of Lists of Violators.--(1) The Secretary 
     of the Treasury shall publish in the Federal Register, not 
     later than March 31 and September 30 of each year, a list 
     containing, to the extent such information is available, the 
     name of any person or entity located outside the customs 
     territory of the United States whose acts result in a 
     violation of paragraph (1)(A) of subsection (d) or who 
     violate paragraph (1)(B) of subsection (d).
       (2) Any person or entity whose name has been included in a 
     list published under paragraph (1) may petition the Secretary 
     to be removed from such list. If the Secretary finds that 
     such person or entity has not committed any violations 
     described in paragraph (1) for a period of not less than 1 
     year after the date on which the name of the person or entity 
     was so published, the Secretary shall remove such person from 
     the list as of the next publication of the list under 
     paragraph (1).
       (g) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:

                   CUBA.

     before considering the reinstitution of general licensure 
     for--
       (A) family remittances to Cuba--
       (i) insist that, prior to such reinstitution, the 
     government of Cuba permit the unfettered operation of small 
     businesses fully endowed with the right to hire others to 
     whom they may pay wages, buy materials necessary in the 
     operation of the business and such other authority and 
     freedom required to foster the operation of small businesses 
     throughout the island; and
       (ii) require a specific license for remittances above $500; 
     and
       (B) travel to Cuba by U.S. resident family members of Cuban 
     nationals resident in Cuba itself insist on such actions by 
     the government of Cuba as abrogation of the sanction for 
     refugee departure from the island, release of political 
     prisoners, recognition of the right of association and other 
     fundamental freedoms.
     SEC. 2112. NEWS BUREAUS IN CUBA.

       (a) Establishment of News Bureaus.--The President is 
     authorized to establish and implement an exchange of news

  TITLE III--PROTECTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS OF UNITED STATES NATIONALS 
           AGAINST CONFISCATORY TAKINGS BY THE CASTRO REGIME

     SEC. 2301 STATEMENT OF POLICY.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Individuals enjoy a fundamental right to own and enjoy 
     property which is enshrined in the United States 
     Constitution.
       (2) The wrongful confiscation or taking of property 
     belonging to United States nationals by the Cuban government, 
     and the subsequent exploitation of this property at the 
     expense of the rightful owner, undermines the comity of 
     nations, the free flow of commerce, and economic development.
       (3) Since Fidel Castro seized power in Cuba in 1959--
       (A) he has trampled on the fundamental rights of the Cuban 
     people, and
       (B) through his personal despotism, he has confiscated the 
     property of--
       (i) millions of his own citizens,
       (ii) thousands of United States nationals, and
       (iii) thousands more Cubans who claimed asylum in the 
     United States as refugees because of persecution and later 
     became naturalized citizens of the United States.
       (4) It is in the interest of the Cuban people that the 
     government of Cuba respect equally the property rights of 
     Cuban and foreign nationals.
       (5) The Cuban government is offering foreign investors the 
     opportunity to purchase an equity interest in, manage, or 
     enter into joint ventures with property and assets some of 
     which were confiscated from United States nationals.
       (6) This ``trafficking'' in confiscated property provides 
     badly needed financial benefit, including hard currency, oil 
     and productive investment and expertise, to the current 
     government of Cuba and thus undermines the foreign policy of 
     the United States--
       (A) to bring democratic institutions to Cuba through the 
     pressure of a general economic embargo at a time when the 
     Castro regime has proven to be vulnerable to international 
     economic pressure, and
       (B) to protect the claims of United States nationals who 
     had property wrongfully confiscated by the Cuban government.
       (7) The U.S. State Department has notified other 
     governments that the transfer of properties confiscated by 
     the Cuban government to third parties ``would complicate any 
     attempt to return them to their original owners.''
       (8) The international judicial system, as currently 
     structured, lacks fully effective remedies for the wrongful 
     confiscation of property and for unjust enrichment from the 
     use of wrongfully confiscated property by governments and 
     private entities at the expense of the rightful owners of the 
     property.
       (9) International law recognizes that a nation has the 
     ability to provide for rules of law with respect to ``conduct 
     outside its territory that has or is intended to have 
     substantial effect within its territory.''
       (10) The United States Government has an obligation to its 
     citizens to provide protection against wrongful confiscations 
     by foreign nations and their citizens, including the 
     provision of private remedies.
       (11) To deter trafficking in wrongfully confiscated 
     property, United States nationals who were the victims of 
     these confiscations should be endowed with a judicial remedy 
     in the Courts of the United States that would deny 
     traffickers any profits from economically exploiting Castro's 
     wrongful seizures.

     SEC. 2302. LIABILITY FOR TRAFFICKING IN CONFISCATED PROPERTY 
                   CLAIMED BY UNITED STATES NATIONALS.

       (a) Civil Remedy.--(1) Liability of trafficking.--(A) 
     Except as otherwise provided in this section, any person or 
     entity, including any agency or instrumentality of a foreign 
     state in the conduct of a commercial activity, that after the 
     end of the 6-month period beginning on the date of enactment 
     of this provision traffics in property which was confiscated 
     by the Government of Cuba on or after January 1, 1959, shall 
     be liable to the United States national who owns the claim to 
     such property for money damages in an amount equal to the sum 
     of--
       (i) the amount which is the greater of--
       (I) the amount, if any, certified to the claimant by the 
     Foreign Claims Settlement Commission under the International 
     Claims Settlement Act of 1949, plus interest;
       (II) the amount determined under section 2303(a)(2), plus 
     interest; or
       (III) the fair market value of that property, calculated as 
     being the then current value of the property, or the value of 
     the property when confiscated plus interest, whichever is 
     greater; and
       (ii) reasonable court costs and attorneys' fees.
       (B) Interest under subparagraph (A)(i) shall be at the rate 
     set forth in section 1961 of title 28, United States Code, 
     computed by the court from the date of confiscation of the 
     property involved to the date on which the action is brought 
     under this subsection.
       (2) Presumption in favor of the certified claims.--There 
     shall be a presumption that the amount for which a person or 
     entity, including any agency or instrumentality of a foreign 
     state in the conduct of a commercial activity, is liable 
     under clause (I) of paragraph (1)(A) is the amount that is 
     certified under subclause (I) of that clause. The presumption 
     shall be rebuttable by clear and convincing evidence that the 
     amount described in subclause (II) or (III) of that clause is 
     the appropriate amount of liability under that clause.
       (3) Requirement for prior notice and increased liability 
     for subsequent additional notice.--(A) Following the 
     conclusion of 180 days from enactment hereof but at least 30 
     days prior to instituting suit hereunder, notice of intention 
     to institute a suit pursuant to this provision must be served 
     on each intended party or, in the case of ongoing intention 
     to add any party to ongoing litigation hereunder to each such 
     additional party.
       (B) Except as provided in this section, any person or 
     entity, including any agency or instrumentality of a foreign 
     state in the conduct of a commercial activity, that traffics 
     in confiscated property after having received--
       (i) a subsequent additional notice of a claim to ownership 
     of the property by the United States national who owns the 
     claim to the confiscated property; and
       (ii) notice of the provisions of this section, shall be 
     liable to that United States national for money damages in an 
     amount which is the sum of the amount equal to the amount 
     determined under paragraph (1)(A)(ii), plus triple the amount 
     determined applicable under subclause (I), (II), or (III) of 
     paragraph (1)(A)(i).
       (4) Applicability.--(A) Except as otherwise provided in 
     this paragraph, actions may be brought under paragraph (1) 
     with respect to property confiscated before, on, or after the 
     date of enactment of this division.
       (B) In the case of property confiscated by the Government 
     of Cuba before the date of enactment of this division, no 
     United States national may bring an action under this section 
     unless such national acquired ownership of the claim to the 
     confiscated property before such date.
       (C) In the case of property confiscated on or after the 
     date of the enactment of this division, no United States 
     national who acquired ownership of a claim to confiscated 
     property by assignment for value after such date of enactment 
     may bring an action on the claim under this section.
       (5) Treatment of certain actions.--(A) In the case of any 
     action brought under this section by a United States national 
     who was eligible to file the underlying claim in the action 
     with the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission under title V 
     of the International Claims Settlement Act of 1949 but did 
     not so file the claim, the court may hear the case only if 
     the court determines that the United States national had good 
     cause for not filing the claim.
       (B) In the case of any action brought under this section by 
     a United States national whose claim in the action was timely 
     filed with the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission under 
     title V of the International Claims Settlement Act of 1949 
     but was denied by the Commission, the court may assess the 
     basis for the denial and may accept the findings of the 
     Commission on the claim as conclusive in the action under 
     this section unless good cause justifies another result.
       (6) Inapplicability of act of state doctrine.--No court of 
     the United States shall decline, based upon the act of state 
     doctrine, to make a determination on the merits in an action 
     brought under paragraph (1).
       (7) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an action 
     under this section may be brought and may be settled, and a 
     judgment rendered in such action may be enforced, without the 
     necessity of obtaining any license or other permission from 
     any agency of the United States; provided, that this 
     subsection shall not apply to the execution of a judgment 
     against or the settlement of actions involving property 
     blocked under the authority of the Trading with the Enemy 
     Act, Appendix to title 50, United States Code, sections 1 
     through 44 as amended.
       (8) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any 
     certified claim against the Government of Cuba shall not be 
     deemed an interest or property the transfer of which requires 
     a license or permission of any agency of the United States.
       (b) Amount in Controversy.--An action may be brought under 
     this section by a United States national only where the 
     matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value of $50,000, 
     exclusive of costs.
       (c) Service of Process.--(1) Service of process shall be 
     effected against an agency or instrumentality of a foreign 
     state in the conduct of a commercial activity, or against 
     individuals acting under color of law in conformity with 28 
     U.S.C. section 1608, except as provided by paragraph (3) of 
     this subsection.
       (2) Service of process shall be effected against all 
     parties not included under the terms of paragraph (A) in 
     conformity with 28 U.S.C. section 1331.

     Liberty and Democratic 

[[Page S 11004]]
     Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1995, no judgment by default shall be 
     entered by a court of the United States against the 
     government of Cuba, its political subdivision, or its 
     agencies or instrumentalities, unless a government recognized 
     by the United States in Cuba is given the opportunity to cure 
     and be heard thereon and the claimant establishes his claim 
     or right to relief by evidence satisfactory to the court.
       (d) Certain Property Immune From Execution.--Section 1611 
     of title 28, United States Code, is amended by adding at the 
     end of the following:
       ``(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 1610 of 
     this chapter, the property of a foreign state shall be immune 
     from attachment and from execution in an action brought under 
     section 1605(7) to the extent the property is a facility or 
     installation used by an accredited diplomatic mission for 
     official purposes.''.
       (e) Election of Remedies.--
       (1) Election.--Subject to paragraph (2)--
       (A) any United States national that brings an action under 
     this section may not bring any other civil action or 
     proceeding under the common law, Federal law, or the law of 
     any of the other several states, the District of Columbia, or 
     any territory or possession of the United States that seeks 
     monetary or nonmonetary compensation by reason of the same 
     subject matter; and
       (B) any person who brings, under the common law or any 
     provision of law other than this section, a civil action or 
     proceeding for monetary or nonmonetary compensation arising 
     out of a claim for which an action would otherwise be 
     cognizable under this section may not bring an action under 
     this section on that claim.
       (2) Treatment of certified claimants.--In the case of any 
     United States national that brings an action under this 
     section based on a claim certified under title V of the 
     International Claims Settlement Act of 1949--
       (A) if the recovery in the action is equal to or greater 
     than the amount of the certified claim, the United States 
     national may not receive payment on the claim under any 
     agreement entered into between the United States and Cuba 
     settling claims covered by such title, and such national 
     shall be deemed to have discharged the United States from any 
     further responsibility to represent the United States 
     national with respect to that claim;
       (B) if the recovery in the action is less than the amount 
     of the certified claim, the United States national may 
     receive payment under a claims agreement described in 
     subparagraph (A) but only to the extent of the difference 
     between the amount of the recovery and the amount of the 
     certified claim; and
       (C) if there is no recovery in the action, the United 
     States national may receive payment on the certified claim 
     under a claims agreement described in subparagraph (A) to the 
     same extent as any certified claimant who does not bring an 
     action under this section.
       (f) Deposit of Excess Payments by Cuba Under Claims 
     Agreement.--Any amounts paid by Cuba under any agreement 
     entered into between the United States and Cuba settling 
     certified claims under title V of the International Claims 
     Settlement Act of 1949 that are in excess of the payments 
     made on such certified claims after the application of 
     subsection (e) shall be deposited into the United States 
     Treasury.
       (g) Termination of Rights.--(1) All rights created under 
     this section to bring an action for money damages with 
     respect to property confiscated by the Government of Cuba 
     before the date of enactment of this division shall cease 
     upon transmittal to the Congress of a determination of the 
     President under section 203(c).
       (2) The termination of rights under paragraph (1) shall not 
     affect suits commenced before the date of such termination, 
     and in all such suits, proceedings shall be had, appeals 
     taken, and judgments rendered in the same manner and with the 
     same effect as if this subsection had not been enacted.

     SEC. 2303. PROOF OF OWNERSHIP.

       (a) Evidence of Ownership.--(1) In any action brought under 
     this title, the courts shall accept as conclusive proof of 
     ownership a certification of a claim to ownership that has 
     been made by the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission 
     pursuant to title V of the International Claims Settlement 
     Act of 1949 (22 U.S.C. 1643 and following).
       (2) In the case of a claim that has not been certified by 
     the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission before the enactment 
     of this division, a court may appoint a Special Master, 
     including the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission, to make 
     determinations regarding the amount of ownership of claims to 
     ownership of confiscated property by the Government of Cuba. 
     Such determinations are only for evidentiary purposes in 
     civil actions brought under this title and do not constitute 
     certifications pursuant to title V of the International 
     Claims Settlement Act of 1949.
       (3) In determining ownership, courts shall not accept as 
     conclusive evidence of ownership any findings, orders, 
     judgments, or decrees from administrative agencies or courts 
     of foreign countries or international organizations that 
     invalidate the claim held by a United States national, unless 
     the invalidation was found pursuant to binding international 
     arbitration to which United States submitted the claim.
       (b) Amendment of the International Claims Settlement Act of 
     1949.--Title V of the International Claims Settlement Act of 
     1949 (22 U.S.C. 1643 and following) is amended by adding at 
     the end of the following new section:


``determination of ownership claims referred by district courts of the 
                             united states

       ``Sec. 514. Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
     title and only for purposes of section 2302 of the Cuban 
     Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1995, a 
     United States district court, for fact-finding purposes, may 
     refer to the Commission, and the Commission may determine, 
     questions of the amount and ownership of a claim by a United 
     States nationals (as defined in section 2004 of the Cuban 
     Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1995, 
     resulting from the confiscations of property by the 
     Government of Cuba described in section 503(a), whether or 
     not the United States national qualified as a national of the 
     United States (as defined in section 502(l)) at the time of 
     action by the Government of Cuba''.
       (c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this division or in 
     section 514 of the International Claims Settlement Act of 
     1949, as added by subsection (b), shall be construed--
       (1) to require or otherwise authorize the claims of Cuban 
     nationals who became United States citizens after their 
     property was confiscated to be included in the claims 
     certified to the Secretary of State by the Foreign Claims 
     Settlement Commission for purposes of future negotiation and 
     espousal of claims with a friendly government in Cuba when 
     diplomatic relations are restored; or
       (2) as superseding, amending, or otherwise altering 
     certifications that have been made pursuant to title V of the 
     International claims Settlement Act of 1949 before the 
     enactment of this division.

     SEC. 2304. EXCLUSIVITY OF FOREIGN CLAIMS SETTLEMENT

     claim under Section 503 but did not timely file such claim 
     under that section, nor any national of the United States (on 
     the date of the enactment of this section) who was not 
     eligible to file a claim under that section, nor any national 
     of Cuba, including any agency, instrumentality, subdivision,

                        BROWN AMENDMENT NO. 1937

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. HELMS (for Mr. Brown) submitted an amendment intended to be 
proposed by him to the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following 
     new title:
         TITLE ____--NATO PARTICIPATION ACT AMENDMENTS OF 1995

     SEC. ____01. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``NATO Participation Act 
     Amendments of 1995''.

     SEC. ____02. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) has played an essential role in guaranteeing the 
     security, freedom, and prosperity of the United States and 
     its partners in the Alliance.
       (2) NATO has expanded its membership on three different 
     occasions since 1949.
       (3) The sustained commitment of the member countries of 
     NATO to mutual defense of their security ultimately made 
     possible the democratic transformation in Central and Eastern 
     Europe and the demise of the Soviet Union.
       (4) NATO was designed to be and remains a defensive 
     military organization whose members have never contemplated 
     the use of, or used, military force to expand the borders of 
     its member states.
       (5) While the immediate threat to the security of the 
     United States and its allies has been reduced with the 
     collapse of the Iron Curtain, new security threats, such as 
     the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, are emerging to the 
     shared interests of the member countries of NATO.
       (6) NATO remains the only multilateral security 
     organization capable of conducting effective military 
     operations to protect Western security interests.
       (7) NATO has played a positive role in defusing tensions 
     between NATO members and, 

[[Page S 11005]]
     as a result, no military action has occurred between two NATO member 
     states since the inception of NATO in 1949.
       (8) NATO is also an important diplomatic forum for the 
     discussion of issues of concern to its member states and for 
     the peaceful resolution of disputes.
       (9) America's security, freedom, and prosperity remain 
     linked to the security of the countries of Europe.
       (10) Any threat to the security of the newly emerging 
     democracies in Central Europe would pose a security threat to 
     the United States and its European allies.
       (11) The admission to NATO of Central and East European 
     countries that have been freed from Communist domination and 
     that meet specific criteria for NATO membership would 
     contribute to international peace and enhance the security of 
     the region.
       (12) A number of countries have expressed varying degrees 
     of interest in NATO membership, and have taken concrete steps 
     to demonstrate this commitment.
       (13) Full integration of Central and East European 
     countries into the North Atlantic Alliance after such 
     countries meet essential criteria for admission would enhance 
     the security of the Alliance and, thereby, contribute to the 
     security of the United States.
       (14) The expansion of NATO can create the stable 
     environment needed to successfully complete the political and 
     economic transformation envisioned by Eastern and Central 
     European countries.
       (15) In recognition that not all countries which have 
     requested membership in NATO will necessarily qualify at the 
     same pace, the date for membership of each country will vary.
       (16) The provision of NATO transition assistance should 
     include those countries most ready for closer ties with NATO, 
     such as Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia and 
     should be designed to assist other countries meeting 
     specified criteria of eligibility to move toward eventual 
     NATO membership, including Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, 
     Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, and Slovenia.
       (17) Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia have made significant 
     progress in preparing for NATO membership and should be given 
     every consideration for inclusion in programs for NATO 
     transition assistance.

     SEC. ____03. UNITED STATES POLICY.

       It should be the policy of the United States--
       (1) to join with the NATO allies of the United States to 
     redefine the role of the NATO Alliance in the post-Cold War 
     world;
       (2) to actively assist European countries emerging from 
     communist domination in their transition so that such 
     countries may eventually qualify for NATO membership;
       (3) to use the voice and vote of the United States to urge 
     observer status in the North Atlantic Council for countries 
     designated under section 203(d) of the NATO Participation Act 
     of 1994 (as amended by this title) as eligible for NATO 
     transition assistance; and
       (4) to work to define the political and security 
     relationship between an enlarged NATO and the Russian 
     Federation.

                   NATO MEMBERSHIP.

       (a) Annual Report.--The President shall, at the time of

     submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a report on 
     the total amount of funds appropriated for national defense 
     purposes for any fiscal year after fiscal year 1995 that were

     the United Nations of the United States assessed share of 
     peacekeeping operations for that fiscal year only to the

     section:

     ``SEC.  . CONTINUATION OF FREE TRADE TREATMENT FOR GAZA/
                   JERICHO.

       (a) Findings.--
       (1) The Congress approved a free trade agreement with 
     Israel on April 29, 1985;
       (2) When approved in 1985, eligibility under the free trade 
     agreement extended to the occupied territories of the West 
     Bank and Gaza;
       (3) The Declaration of Principles, signed by Israel and the 
     Palestinian Authority in 1993, is a significant step forward 
     in bringing peace to the region;
       (4) Sending an unambiguous signal of United States support 
     for peace in the Middle East is a top U.S. priority;
       (5) Removing free trade treatment for goods manufactured in 
     Gaza and Jericho after the signing of the Declaration of 
     Principles economically penalizes the Palestinian Authority 
     for entering into a peace agreement with Israel; and
       (6) Goods manufactured in Gaza and Jericho after the 
     signing of the Declaration of Principles should not be 
     subjected to less favorable treatment than those manufactured 
     in Gaza and Jericho before the signing.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the United States should grant duty free access to the 
     United States market for products of the territories that

     section:

     ``SEC.  . ESTABLISHMENT OF A FREE TRADE AREA FOR TABA, ELAT 
                   AND AQABA.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that:
       (1) The development of trading relationships that permit 
     the free flow of goods and services between Israel and 
     countries with which Israel is now at peace is essential to a 
     lasting peace in the Middle East;
       (2) The President's recent decision to establish a free 
     trade area that includes the Egyptian city of Taba, the 
     Israeli city of Elat and the Jordanian city of Aqaba will 
     provide an important beginning for regional cooperation and 
     the integration of regional commerce; and
       (3) The development of successful trading relationships 
     between the countries who have agreed to a warm peace with 
     Israel and the United States is a top priority of the United 
     States.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the President should extend duty free treatment to 
     products of Taba, Egypt and Aqaba, Jordan if the President 
     certifies to the appropriate committees of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) such extension will significantly benefit the 
     development of regional economic development and integration 
     in the Middle East;
       (2) such extension will include only goods which have 
     experienced significant manufacturing change in Taba or 
     Aqaba;
       (3) effective procedures exist to ensure that Taba and 
     Aqaba are not merely transhipment points for goods 
     manufactured outside of these two cities; and
       (4) all three countries are developing laws and procedures 
     to encourage the free flow of goods and people between and 
     cities of Taba, Elat and Aqaba.''

  Mr. HELMS (for Mr. Brown) submitted an amendment intended to be 
proposed by him to the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       In the appropriate place, insert a new section as follows:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

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

[[Page S 11007]]

       (1) The purpose of the General Agreement on Tariffs and 
     Trade (hereafter in this amendment referred to as the 
     ``GATT'') and the World Trade Organization (hereafter in this 
     amendment referred to as the ``WTO'') is to enable member 
     countries to conduct trade based upon free market principles, 
     by limiting government intervention in the form of state 
     subsidies, by limiting nontariff barriers, and by encouraging 
     reciprocal reductions in tariffs among members;
       (2) The GATT/WTO is based on the assumption that the import 
     and export of goods are conducted by independent enterprises 
     responding to profit incentives and market forces;
       (3) The GATT/WTO requires that nonmarket economies 
     implement significant reforms to change centralized and 
     planned economic systems before becoming a full GATT/WTO 
     member and the existence of a decentralized and a free market 
     economy is considered a precondition to fair trade among 
     GATT/WTO members;
       (4) The People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to 
     as ``China'') and the Republic of China on Taiwan 
     (hereinafter referred to as ``Taiwan'') applied for 
     membership in the GATT in 1986 and 1991, respectively, and 
     Working Parties have been established by the GATT to review 
     their applications;
       (5) China insists that Taiwan's membership in the GATT/WTO 
     be granted only after China becomes a full member of the 
     GATT/WTO;
       (6) Taiwan has a free market economy that has existed for 
     over three decades, and is currently the fourteenth largest 
     trading nation in the world;
       (7) Taiwan has a gross national product that is the world's 
     twentieth largest, its foreign exchange reserves are among 
     the largest in the world and it has become that world's 
     seventh largest outbound investor;
       (8) Taiwan has made substantive progress in agreeing to 
     reduce upon GATT/WTO accession the tariff level of many 
     products, and non-tariff barriers;
       (9) Taiwan has also made significant progress in other 
     aspects of international trade, such as in intellectual 
     property protection and opening its financial services 
     market;
       (10) Despite some progress in reforming its economic 
     system, China still retains legal and institutional practices 
     that restrict free market competition and are incompatible 
     with GATT/WTO principles;
       (11) China still uses an intricate system of tariff and 
     non-tariff administrative controls to implement its 
     industrial and trade policies, and China's tariffs on foreign 
     goods, such as automobiles, can be as high as 150 percent, 
     even though China has made commitments in the market access 
     Memorandum of Understanding to reform significant parts of 
     its import regime;
       (12) China continues to use direct and indirect subsidies 
     to promote exports;
       (13) China often manipulates its exchange rate to impede 
     balance of payments adjustments and gain unfair competitive 
     advantages in trade;
       (14) Taiwan's and China's accession to the GATT/WTO have 
     important implications for the United States and the world 
     trading system.
       (b) Sense of Congress--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the United States should separate Taiwan's application 
     for membership in the GATT/WTO from China's application for 
     membership in those organizations;
       (2) the United States should support Taiwan's earliest 
     membership in the GATT/WTO;
       (3) the United States should support the membership of 
     China in the GATT/WTO only if a sound bilateral commercial 
     agreement is reached between the United States and China, and 
     that China makes significant progress in making its economic 
     system compatible with GATT/WTO principles;
       (4) China's application for membership in the GATT/WTO 
     should be reviewed strictly in accordance with the rules, 
     guidelines, principles, precedents, and practices of the 
     GATT.
                                 ______


                        BROWN AMENDMENT NO. 1943

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. HELMS (for Mr. Brown) submitted an amendment intended to be 
proposed by him to the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, add the following new 
     section:

     ``SEC.   . REPUBLIC OF CHINA (TAIWAN)'S PARTICIPATION IN THE 
                   UNITED NATIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) The Republic of China was the first signatory to the 
     Charter of the United Nations in 1945 and remained an active 
     member of that world body until 1971;
       (2) China was divided in 1949, and the Republic of China 
     (hereinafter cited as ``Taiwan'') and the People's Republic 
     of China (hereinafter cited as ``Mainland China'') have 
     exercised exclusive jurisdiction over their respective areas 
     since then;
       (3) Taiwan has the 19th largest gross national product in 
     the world, a strong and vibrant economy, and one of the 
     largest foreign exchange reserves of any nation;
       (4) Taiwan has dramatically improved its record on human 
     rights and routinely holds free and fair elections in a 
     multiparty system, as evidenced most recently by the December 
     3, 1994, balloting for local and provincial officials;
       (5) The 21 million people in Taiwan have not been 
     represented in the United Nations since 1971 and their human 
     rights as citizens of the world have therefore been severely 
     abridged;
       (6) Taiwan has in recent years repeatedly expressed its 
     strong desire to participate in the United Nations;
       (7) Taiwan has much to contribute to the work and funding 
     of the United Nations;
       (8) Taiwan has demonstrated its commitment to the world 
     community by responding to the international disasters and 
     crises such as environmental destruction in the Persian Gulf 
     and famine in Rwanda by providing financial donations, 
     medical assistance, and other forms of aid;
       (9) The world community has reacted positively to Taiwan's 
     desire for international participation, as shown by Taiwan's 
     continued membership in the Asian Development Bank, the 
     admission of Taiwan into the Asia-Pacific Economic 
     Cooperation group as a full member, and the accession of 
     Taiwan as the first step toward becoming a contracting party 
     to that organization;
       (10) The United States has supported Taiwan's participation 
     in these bodies and indicated, in its policy review of 
     September 1994, a stronger and more active policy of support 
     for Taiwan's participation in other international 
     organizations;
       (11) Taiwan has repeatedly stated that its participation in 
     international organizations is one of parallel representation 
     without prejudice to the current status of mainland China in 
     the international community and does not represent a 
     challenge to that status;
       (12) The United Nations and other international 
     organizations have established precedents concerning parallel 
     representation, such as the cases of South Korea and North 
     Korea and the two former Germanies;
       (13) The decision of the United States to establish 
     diplomatic relations with Mainland China, as expressed in the 
     Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8), is based ``upon the 
     expectation that the future of Taiwan will be determined by 
     peaceful means''; and
       (14) Taiwan's participation in international organizations 
     would not prevent or imperil the eventual resolution of 
     disputes between Taiwan and Mainland China any more than 
     participation in international organizations by the former 
     West Germany and the former East Germany prevented the 
     eventual settlement of German's national status by peaceful 
     and democratic means.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) Taiwan deserves full participation, including a seat, 
     in the United Nations and its related agencies; and
       (2) the Government of the United States should immediately 
     encourage the United Nations to take action by considering 
     the unique situation of Taiwan in the international community 
     and adopting a comprehensive solution to accommodate Taiwan 
     in the United Nations and its related agencies.''

     ``SEC.  . COUNTRIES IN TRANSITION TO A FREE MARKET ECONOMY.

       (a) Findings.--
       (i) Many of the nations of Central and Eastern Europe in 
     transition from centrally planned economies to free market 
     economies have made important progress in reforming their 
     economic systems in a short time period;
       (ii) As these countries continue to transition, long-term 
     economic growth for the region rests upon the successful 
     integration of these emerging free markets into western 
     markets and other world trading structures;
       (iii) Trade has been the key to rapid integration of the 
     markets of countries in transition to democracy;
       (iv) The success of U.S. efforts to expand the ability of 
     these nations in transition to trade with the West has not 
     rested solely upon traditional foreign assistance programs, 
     but has been greatly enhanced by the extension of the 
     generalized system of preferences for these countries;
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (i) United States' efforts to assist countries of Central 
     and Eastern Europe in transition from centrally planned 
     economies to free market economies should focus first on 
     efforts to effectively integrate them into the world trading 
     system;
       (ii) The United States extension of trade benefits under 
     the generalized system of preferences has been of crucial 
     importance to the rapid economic transformation of countries 
     of Central and Eastern Europe in transition from centrally 
     planned economies to free market economies; and
       (iii) The United States should continue to accord treatment 
     under the generalized system of preferences (GSP) for all 
     countries of Central and Eastern Europe in transition to a 
     free market economy, including but not limited to Poland, 
     Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Baltic countries, 
     Romania and Bulgaria.

     coordinated with private sector investors, will provide a 
     clear sign of opportunity resulting from peace with Israel;

     special consideration to the extremely difficult economic 
     conditions in Gaza;
       (4) The President should appoint a Special Coordinator to 
     coordinate the rapid development of an industrial park in 
     Gaza and to begin with the recruitment of U.S. investors; and

     section:

     ``SEC.   . U.S. COMMERCIAL DISPUTES.

       (a) Findings.--
       (i) The United States and Saudi Arabia have extensive 
     commercial relations which have proven to be important and 
     beneficial to both parties;
       (ii) In the past twenty years, increasing commercial ties 
     have highlighted the differences between the legal systems of 
     our two countries and have dramatically increased the 
     necessity of expeditious, effective resolution of commercial 
     disputes between our two nations;
       (iii) Saudi Arabia's decision to join the New York 
     Convention on Arbitral Awards is a significant contribution 
     to the resolution of future disputes;
       (iv) The dispute resolution mechanism established by the 
     Saudi Arabian government to resolve outstanding claims and 
     the subsequent mutually satisfactory resolution of 15 of the 
     17 claims has made a positive impact on U.S.-Saudi commercial 
     relations;
       (v) State Department procedures for the espousal of claims 
     by private companies are sometimes difficult and time-
     consuming, thereby decreasing the likelihood that claimants 
     will utilize existing mechanisms for the resolution of 
     disputes;
       (vi) State Department procedures for espousal of claims 
     must be expeditious and thorough, to ensure a fair legal 
     review of the claim and appropriate, timely assistance to 
     U.S. companies doing business overseas.
       (b) Overview of U.S.-Saudi Commercial Relations.--The 
     Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of 
     Commerce, shall prepare and update on a yearly basis a 
     complete, easily understandable manual for distribution to 
     U.S. companies interested in doing business in Saudi Arabia. 
     In addition, U.S. State Department staff in Saudi Arabia 
     shall provide routine briefings for members of the U.S. 
     business community operating in Saudi Arabia. The manual and 
     briefings shall include, but not be limited to:
       (i) An overview of the business environment in Saudi 
     Arabia;
       (ii) A complete overview of the Saudi Arabian system of 
     justice, recent court decisions affecting commercial 
     interests and an evaluation of the efficacy of the legal 
     system for effective resolution of commercial disputes;
       (iii) A detailed discussion of common risks and 
     difficulties faced by companies conducting operations in 
     Saudi Arabia;
       (iv) An overview of Saudi contract law and a comparison to 
     U.S. contract law;
       (v) A suggested list of common contract practices to be 
     followed by American businesses that would increase the 
     security of U.S. investments in Saudi Arabia;
       (vi) A list of outstanding claims by U.S. companies against 
     the government of Saudi Arabia and efforts undertaken by the 
     Department of State to quickly and effectively resolve these 
     claims;
       (vii) A list of outstanding claims by Saudi Arabian 
     companies against the United States and actions undertaken to 
     ensure the resolution of these claims.
     This report shall be forwarded on an annual basis to the 
     appropriate committees of the Congress.
       (c) Espousal of U.S. Claims.--For any claims listed in the 
     act that have yet to be resolved, the U.S. State Department 
     shall have 30 days from the time the claim is formally 
     submitted to the State Department for espousal to evaluate 
     the merits of the claim and to recommend whether or not the 
     United States government should espouse such claim. Such 
     recommendation, whether negative or positive, shall, with 
     supporting rationale, be reported to the appropriate 
     committees of the Congress at the expiration of the 30 day 
     period.
       (d) Definitions.--The term ``appropriate committees of the 
     Congress'' shall include--
       (i) the International Relations Committee and the 
     Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives; and
       (ii) the Foreign Relations Committee and the Appropriations 
     Committee of the Senate.

       (D) The Turkish press and some politicians have been 
     launching a well-orchestrated campaign against the Ecumenical 
     Patriarchate accusing it of trying to become an independent 
     state or that it wishes to revive the Byzantine Empire. These 
     accusations resulted in provoking dangerous reactions among 
     the Moslem population in Turkey against the Ecumenical 
     Patriarchate.
       (E) Negative statements have been directed toward the 
     Patriarchate by the Mayor of the Fatih District of Istanbul.
       (3) His All Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew and those 
     associated with the Ecumenical Patriarchate are Turkish 
     citizens and thus must be protected under Turkish law against 
     blatant and unprovoked attacks toward ethnic minorities;
       (4) the Turkish Government arbitrarily closed the Halki 
     Patriarchal School of Theology in 1971;
       (5) the closing of the Halki School of Theology is a 
     serious concern for the Ecumenical Patriarchate;
       (6) Turkish law requires that the Patriarch, as well as all 
     the clergy, faculty, and students be citizens of Turkey, and 
     the Halki School of Theology is the only educational 
     institution for Orthodox Christian leadership;
       (7) the unimpeded continued provocations against the 
     Ecumenical Patriarchate and the closing of the Halki School 
     of Theology are in violation of international treaties to 
     which Turkey has been a signatory, including the Treaty of 
     Lausanne, the 1968 Protocol, the Helsinki Final Act-1975, the 
     Charter of Paris, and the United Nations Charter; 
       (8) these consequences have severely compromised and 
     threatened the safety and security of the Ecumenical 
     Patriarchate and the future existence of this Orthodox 
     Institution in Turkey;
       (9) the Ecumenical Patriarchate is the spiritual center for 
     more than 250,000,000 Orthodox Christians worldwide, 
     including approximately 5,000,000 in the United States; and
       (10) it is in the best interest of the United States to 
     prevent further incidents regarding the Ecumenical 
     Patriarchate, the spiritual leader of millions of American 
     citizens, and in the overall goals of the United States to 
     establish peaceful relations with and among the many 
     important nations of the world that have substantial Orthodox 
     Christian populations.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the United States should use its influence with the 
     Turkish Government and as a permanent member of the United 
     Nations Council to suggest that the Turkish Government--
       (A) ensure the proper protection for the Patriarchate and 
     all Orthodox faithful residing in Turkey;
       (B) assure that positive steps are taken to reopen the 
     Halki Patriarchal School of Theology;
       (C) provide for the proper protection and safety of the 
     Ecumenical Patriarch and the Patriarchate personnel;
       (D) establish conditions that would prevent the reoccurance 
     of past terrorist activities and vandalism and other personal 
     threats against the Patriarch;
       (E) establish conditions to ensure that the Patriarchate is 
     free to carry out its religious mission; and
       (F) do everything possible to find and punish the 
     perpetrators of any provocative and terrorist acts against 
     the Patriarchate.
       (2) The Administration should report to the Congress the 
     status and progress of the concerns in paragraph (1) on an 
     annual basis.

                        SNOWE AMENDMENT NO. 1955

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Ms. SNOWE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by her to 
the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       On page 124, after line 20, insert the following new 
     section:

     SEC.  . RUSSIAN NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY AGREEMENT WITH IRAN.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) Iran is aggressively pursuing a program to acquire or 
     develop nuclear weapons, or both;
       (3) Iran has opposed the Middle East peace process and 
     continues to support the terrorist group Hezballah in Lebanon 
     and radical Palestinian groups;
       (4) Iran has asserted control over the Persian Gulf island 
     of Abu Musa, which it had been previously sharing with the 
     United Arab Emirates;
       (5) during the last few years Iran has reportedly acquired 
     several hundred improved Seud missiles from North Korea;
       (6) Iran has moved modern air defense missile systems, 
     tanks, additional troops, artillery, and surface-to-surface 
     missiles onto islands in the Persian Gulf, some of which are 
     disputed between Iran and the United Arab Emirates;
       (7) Iran has already taken delivery of as many as 30 modern 
     MiG-29 fighter aircraft from the Russian federation;
       (8) the Russian Federation has sold modern conventionally 
     powered submarines to Iran, which increases Iran's capability 
     to blockade the Straits of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf; and
       (9) the Russian Federation has continued to pursue a 
     commercial agreement intended to provide Iran with nuclear 
     technology despite being provided with a detailed description 
     by the President of United States of Iran's nuclear weapons 
     program.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Russian Federation should be strongly condemned if it 
     continues with a commercial agreement to provide Iran with 
     nuclear technology which would assist that country in its 
     development of nuclear weapons, and, if such transfer occurs, 
     that the Russian Federation would be ineligible for 
     assistance under the terms of the Freedom Support Act.

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Ms. SNOWE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by her to 
the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

         On page 124, after line 20, insert the following new 
     section:

     SEC.   . SUPPORTING A RESOLUTION TO THE LONG-STANDING DISPUTE 
                   REGARDING CYPRUS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the long-standing dispute regarding Cyprus remains 
     unresolved;
       (2) the Turkish military presence in the territory of the 
     Republic of Cyprus has continued for more than 20 years;
       (3) the status quo on Cyprus remains unacceptable;
       (4) the United States attaches great importance to a just 
     and peaceful resolution of the dispute regarding Cyprus;
       (5) the United Nations and the United States are using 
     their good offices to resolve such dispute;
       (6) on January 5, 1995, President Clinton appointed a 
     Special Presidential Emissary for Cyprus;
       (7) the United Nations has adopted numerous resolutions 
     that set forth the basis of a solution for the dispute 
     regarding Cyprus;
       (8) paragraph (2) of United Nations Security Council 
     Resolution 939 of July 29, 1994, reaffirms that a solution 
     must be based on a state of Cyprus with a single sovereignty 
     and international personality, and a single citizenship, with 
     its independence and territorial integrity safeguarded, and 
     comprising two politically equal communities as described in 
     the relevant Security Council resolutions, in a bicommunal 
     and bizonal federation, and that such a settlement must 
     exclude union in whole or in part with any other country or 
     any form of partition or secession;

[[Page S 11011]]

       (9) the United Nations Secretary General has described the 
     militarily occupied part of Cyprus as one of the most highly 
     militarized areas in the world;
       (10) the continued Turkish military presence on Cyprus 
     hampers the search for a freely negotiated solution to the 
     dispute regarding Cyprus;
       (11) the United Nations and the United States have called 
     for the withdrawal of all foreign troops from the territory 
     of the Republic of Cyprus; and
       (12) comprehensive plans for the demilitarization of the 
     Republic of Cyprus have been proposed.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress--
       (1) reaffirms that the status quo on Cyprus is 
     unacceptable;
       (2) welcomes the appointment of a Special Presidential 
     Emissary for Cyprus;
       (3) expresses its continued strong support for efforts by 
     the United Nations Secretary General and the United States 
     Government to help resolve the Cyprus problem in a just and 
     viable manner at the earliest possible time;
       (4) insists that all parties to the dispute regarding 
     Cyprus agree to seek a solution based upon the relevant 
     United Nations resolutions, including paragraph (2) of United 
     Nations Security Council Resolution 939 of July 29, 1994;
       (5) reaffirms the position that all foreign troops should 
     be withdrawn from the territory of the Republic of Cyprus;
       (6) considers that demilitarization of the Republic of 
     Cyprus would meet the security concerns of all parties 
     involved, would enhance prospects for a peaceful and lasting 
     resolution of the dispute regarding Cyprus, would benefit all 
     of the people of Cyprus, and merits international support; 
     and
       (7) encourages the United Nations Security Council and the 
     United States Government to consider alternative approaches 
     to promote a resolution of the long-standing dispute 
     regarding Cyprus based upon relevant Security Council 
     resolutions, including incentives to encourage progress in 
     negotiations or effective measures against any recalcitrant 
     party.

       (4) specify the consolidations and reorganization of

     of Congress sine die; and

                        PELL AMENDMENT NO. 1965

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. PELL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the 
bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       On page 124, after line 20, add the following:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL 
                   TREATIES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In 1978, the Senate adopted Senate Resolution 49, 
     calling on the United States Government to seek the agreement 
     of other government to a proposed global treaty requiring the 
     preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment for any major 
     project, action, or continuing activity that may be 
     reasonably expected to have a significant adverse effect on 
     the physical environment or environmental interests of 
     another nation or a global commons area.
       (2) Subsequent to the adoption of Senate Resolution 49 in 
     1978, the United Nations Environment Programme Governing 
     Council adopted Goals and Principles on Environmental Impact 
     Assessment calling on governments to undertake comprehensive 
     Environmental Impact Assessments in cases in which the 
     extent, nature, or location of a proposed activity is such 
     that the activity is likely to significantly affect the 
     environment.
       (3) Principle 17 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and 
     development, adopted at the United Nations Conference on 
     Environment and Development in 1992 states that the 
     Environmental and Impact Assessments as a national instrument 
     shall be undertaken for proposed activities that are likely 
     to have a significant adverse impact on the environment and 
     are subject to a decision on the competent national 
     authority.
       (4) On October 7, 1992, the Senate gave its advice and 
     consent to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the 
     Antarctic Treaty, which obligates parties to the Antarctic 
     Treaty to require Environmental Impact Assessment procedures 
     for proposed activities in Antarctica.
       (5) The United States is a signatory to the 1991 United 
     Nations Economic Commission for Europe's Convention on 
     Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context, a 
     regional treaty that calls for the use of Environmental 
     Impact Assessments as necessary tools to minimize the adverse 
     impact of certain activities on the environment, particularly 
     in a transboundary context.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the United States Government should encourage 
     governments of other nations to engage in additional regional 
     treaties, along the lines of the 1991 United Nations Economic 
     Commission for Europe's Convention on Environmental Impact 
     Assessment on a Transboundary Context, regarding specific 
     transboundary activities that have adverse impacts on the 
     environment of other nations or a global commons area; and
       (2) such additional regional treaties should ensure that 
     specific transboundary activities are undertaken in 
     environmentally sound ways and under careful controls 
     designed to avoid or minimize any adverse environmental 
     effects, through requirements for Environmental Impact 
     Assessments where appropriate.
                                 ______


                PELL (AND KASSEBAUM) AMENDMENT NO. 1966

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. PELL (for himself and Mrs. Kassebaum) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by him to the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, add the following:

     SEC.   . PROHIBITION ON U.S. FUNDING OF MINURSO.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) Morocco and the Popular Front for the Liberation of 
     Saguia el-Hamra and Rio de Oro (Polisario) have been waging 
     war for control of the Western Sahara since 1974;
       (2) In 1981, Moroccan King Hassan II called upon the United 
     Nations to sponsor a referendum on the future status of the 
     Western Sahara, in which the Saharan people would vote for 
     independence or for integration with Morocco;
       (3) In 1990, the United Nations Security Council adopted 
     Resolution 658, which included the details of a peace 
     settlement approved by Morocco and the Polisario;
       (4) In 1991, the United Nations Security Council adopted 
     Resolution 690, which formally established the United Nations 
     Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO);
       (5) The United States has provided financial support to 
     MINURSO as part of its assessed dues for U.N. peacekeeping, 
     and has contributed U.S. troops to the military component of 
     MINURSO;
       (6) Since MINURSO was deployed to the region on September 
     6, 1991, the cease-fire between Morocco and the Polisario has 
     been observed with only minor violations by the parties;
       (7) In 1994, the Security Council adopted Resolution 907, 
     leading to the initiation of voter registration for the 
     referendum;
       (8) Notwithstanding the successful cessation of hostilities 
     between Morocco and the Polisario and the initiation of voter 
     registration, substantial progress remains to be made before 
     a referendum can be held;
       (9) Charges have been raised by former MINURSO officials 
     and by outside observers calling into question free and fair 
     nature of the referendum and suggesting mismanagement and 
     impropriety by MINURSO;
       (10) It is in the U.S. interest to promote a timely and 
     equitable resolution of the conflict in the Western Sahara 
     through a free and fair referendum process, or through an 
     alternative settlement to be agreed upon mutually by the 
     parties to the conflict.
       (b) Prohibition.--None of the funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this or any other act may be used for 
     contributions to the United Nations Mission for the 
     Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) unless and until the 
     President determines and so certifies to the Congress that--
       (a) the funds to be used will promote the timely conclusion 
     of the referendum process or an alternative settlement to be 
     agreed upon mutually by the parties to the conflict;
       (b) the United Nations is organizing the referendum in a 
     free and fair manner so as to produce an equitable resolution 
     of the Western Sahara conflict;
       (c) charges of impropriety and mismanagement by MINURSO 
     have been investigated and, if found to be of merit, 
     addressed appropriately.
                                 ______


                        PELL AMENDMENT NO. 1967

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. PELL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the 
bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       On page 124, after line 20, insert the following new 
     section:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING PARTICIPATION IN EXPO 
                   '98.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) there was international concern expressed at the Rio 
     Conference of 1992 about conservation of the seas;
       (2) 1998 has been declared the ``International Year of the 
     Ocean'' by the United Nations in an effort to alert the world 
     to the need for improving the physical and cultural assets 
     offered by the world's oceans;
       (3) the theme of Expo '98 is ``The Oceans, a Heritage for 
     the Future'';
       (4) Expo '98 has a fundamental aim of alerting political, 
     economic, and public opinion to the growing importance of the 
     world's oceans;
       (5) Portugal has established a vast network of 
     relationships through ocean exploration;
       (6) Portugal's history is rich with examples of the courage 
     and exploits of Portuguese explorers;
       (7) Portugal and the United States have a relationship 
     based on mutual respect, and a sharing of interests and 
     ideals, particularly the deeply held commitment to democratic 
     values;
       (8) today over 2,000,000 Americans can trace their ancestry 
     to Portugal; and
       (9) the United States and Portugal agreed in the 1995 
     Agreement on Cooperation and Defense that in 1998 the 2 
     countries would consider and develop appropriate means of 
     commemorating the upcoming quincentennial anniversary of the 
     historic voyage of discovery by Vasco da Gama.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--The United States should fully 
     participate in Expo '98 in Lisbon, Portugal, and encourage 
     the private sector to support this worthwhile undertaking.
                                 ______

                        PELL AMENDMENT NO. 1969

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. PELL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the 
bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:
       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following 
     new title:
         TITLE ____--NATO PARTICIPATION ACT AMENDMENTS OF 1995

     SEC. ____. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``NATO Participation Act 
     Amendments of 1995''.

     SEC. ____. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) has played an essential role in guaranteeing the 
     security, freedom, and prosperity of the United States and 
     its partners in the Alliance.
       (2) NATO has expanded its membership on three different 
     occasions since 1949.
       (3) The sustained commitment of the member countries of 
     NATO to mutual defense of their security ultimately made 
     possible the democratic transformation in Central and Eastern 
     Europe and the demise of the Soviet Union.
       (4) NATO was designed to be and remains a defensive 
     military organization whose members have never contemplated 
     the use of, or used, military force to expand the borders of 
     its member states.
       (5) While the immediate threat to the security of the 
     United States and its allies has been reduced with the 
     collapse of the Iron Curtain, new security threats, such as 
     the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, are emerging to the 
     shared interests of the member countries of NATO.
       (6) NATO remains the only multilateral security 
     organization capable of conducting effective military 
     operations to protect Western security interests.
       (7) NATO has played a positive role in defusing tensions 
     between NATO members and, as a result, no military action has 
     occurred between two NATO member states since the inception 
     of NATO in 1949.
       (8) NATO is also an important diplomatic forum for the 
     discussion of issues of concern to its member states and for 
     the peaceful resolution of disputes.
       (9) America's security, freedom, and prosperity remain 
     linked to the security of the countries of Europe.
       (10) Any threat to the security of the newly emerging 
     democracies in Europe would pose a security threat to the 
     United States and its European allies.
       (11) The admission to NATO of European countries that have 
     been freed from Communist domination and that meet specific 
     criteria for NATO membership would contribute to 
     international peace and enhance the security of the region.
       (12) A number of countries have expressed varying degrees 
     of interest in NATO membership, and have taken concrete steps 
     to demonstrate this commitment.
       (13) Full integration of European countries into the North 
     Atlantic Alliance after such countries meet essential 
     criteria for admission would enhance the security of the 
     Alliance and, thereby, contribute to the security of the 
     United States.
       (14) The expansion of NATO can create the stable 
     environment needed to successfully complete the political and 
     economic transformation envisioned by European states 
     emerging from Communist domination.
       (15) In recognition that not all countries which have 
     requested membership in NATO will necessarily qualify at the 
     same pace, the accession date for each new member will vary.
       (16) The provision of NATO transition assistance should 
     include those countries that meet the eligibility criteria 
     specified under section 203(d) of the NATO Participation Act 
     of 1994 (as amended by this title).
       (17) Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, 
     Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, 
     Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine should be given every 
     consideration for inclusion in programs for NATO transition 
     assistance.
       (18) The Partnership for Peace will continue to play an 
     important role in strengthening cooperation and 
     interoperability between partner states and NATO allies. 
     Active participation in the Partnership for Peace will help 
     prepare interested states for the rights and responsibilities 
     of NATO membership.

     SEC. ____. UNITED STATES POLICY.

       It should be the policy of the United States--
       (1) to join with the NATO allies of the United States to 
     redefine the role of the NATO Alliance in the post-Cold War 
     world;
       (2) to actively assist European countries emerging from 
     Communist domination in their transition so that such 
     countries may eventually qualify for NATO membership;
       (3) to work to define the political and security 
     relationship between an evolving NATO and the Russian 
     Federation.

     SEC. ____. CONSTRUCTION OF TITLE.

       Nothing in this title should be construed as precluding the 
     eventual NATO membership of Partnership for Peace member 
     countries that never were under Communist domination, namely 
     Austria, Finland, and Sweden, should they wish to apply for 
     such membership.

     SEC. ____. REVISIONS TO PROGRAM TO FACILITATE TRANSITION TO 
                   NATO MEMBERSHIP.

                SARBANES (AND LEAHY) AMENDMENT NO. 1970

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. SARBANES (for himself and Mr. Leahy) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by them to the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       Beginning on page 210, strike line 4 and all that follows

            TITLE XIV--AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

     SEC. 1401. ELIMINATION OF DUPLICATION.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary of State shall, in 
     consultation with the Administrator of the Agency for 
     International Development, identify and eliminate all 
     duplicative, overlapping, or superfluous personnel, 
     functions, goals, activities, offices, and programs within 
     and between the Department of State and the Agency for 
     International Development.
       (b) Report.--Not later than March 31, 1996, or 180 days 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, whichever is later, 
     the Secretary of State shall submit a report describing the 
     personnel, functions, goals, activities, offices, and 
     programs identified under subsection (a) to the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on 
     International Relations of the House of Representatives, 
     together with proposed legislation if additional statutory 
     authority is required to implement subsection (a). Each 
     report shall also include projected cost savings and 
     personnel reductions to be achieved through implementation of 
     subsection (a).

     SEC. 1402. COORDINATION OF PROGRAMS.

       (a) International Coordination and Leadership.--The United 
     States shall seek to coordinate its sustainable development 
     programs with other bilateral and multilateral donors, as 
     well as with the private sector, in order to maximize the 
     effectiveness of resources allocated to sustainable 
     development. The United States also should exercise 
     leadership in building the global commitment and cooperation 
     necessary for countries to make significant progress toward 
     the goals adopted at international fora relating to 
     sustainable development.
       (b) Coordination of United States Programs and Policies.--
     The President shall establish a mechanism--
       (1) to coordinate, and to eliminate duplication among, all 
     United States policies, programs and activities designed to 
     promote sustainable development, including those that are 
     funded or carried out by the United States Agency for 
     International Development, the Department of State, the 
     Department of the Treasury, the Department of Agriculture, 
     the African Development Foundation, the Inter-American 
     Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Peace 
     Corps, and other involved departments or agencies;
       (2) to ensure that United States policies and activities at 
     the international financial institutions and other 
     international organizations engaged in development activities 
     are consistent and complementary with sustainable 
     development; and
       (3) to ensure that United States policies, programs and 
     activities designed to promote growth through trade and 
     investment, such as the Overseas Private Investment 
     Corporation, the Trade and Development Agency, and the 
     Export-Import Bank of the United States, are consistent and 
     complementary with those purposes.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 6 months after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, and not later than March 1 of each 
     year thereafter, the President shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report explaining the 
     way in which the responsibilities for programs are delineated 
     and coordinated among the various agencies and departments 
     described under subsection (b), and the way in which 
     duplication and waste will be avoided.

     SEC. 1403. REFORM AND STREAMLINING OF GOALS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Repeals.--The following provisions of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961 are repealed: Sections 102, 103, 103A, 
     104 (a)-(e) and (g), 105, 106, 113, 117 (a) and (b), 118, 
     119, 120, 125, 128, 206, 219, 241, and 281.
       (b) Sustainable Development Program.--Section 101 of the 
     Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151) is amended to 
     read as follows:

     ``SEC. 101. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS.

       ``(a) In General.--The promotion of sustainable development 
     at home and abroad is in the long-term interests of the 
     United States. Sustainable development means broad-based 
     economic growth that protects the environment, enhances human 
     capabilities, upholds human rights and democratic values, and 
     improves the quality of life for current generations while 
     preserving that opportunity for future generations.
       ``(b) Purpose.--The ultimate purpose of programs under this 
     chapter is to enable the poorest countries and people of the 
     world to provide for their own economic security without 
     further outside assistance. This purpose is pursued 
     internationally by supporting the self-help efforts of people 
     in developing countries--

[[Page S 11019]]

       ``(1) to implement sound policies that increase self-
     reliance, equity, and productive capacity;
       ``(2) to invest in developing their human resources; and
       ``(3) to build effective and accountable indigenous 
     political, economic, and social institutions.
       ``(c) Programs.--The President is authorized to provide 
     assistance under this chapter of the following five 
     interrelated types:
       ``(1) Encouraging broad-based economic growth.--
       ``(A) Rationale.--Broad-based economic growth means 
     equitable and inclusive economic expansion in developing 
     countries. Such growth is in the economic, political, and 
     strategic interests of the United States because it permits 
     countries to progress toward economic self-reliance, improve 
     the living standards of their citizens, reduce the incidence 
     of poverty, promote food security and nutritional well-being, 
     slow population growth, and increase opportunities for 
     mutually beneficial international trade and investment. 
     Broad-based economic growth also improves the prospects for 
     the spread of democracy and political pluralism.
       ``(B) Means.--Broad-based economic growth requires, in 
     addition to sound economic policies--
       ``(i) a broader role for and access to markets for both 
     women and men through improved policies that protect and 
     advance economic rights for all citizens without regard to 
     gender, race, religion, language or social status, that 
     increase self-reliance in meeting basic needs, and that raise 
     real incomes for poor people;
       ``(ii) stronger and more accountable public and private 
     institutions at the local and national level, and sound 
     public investments;
       ``(iii) enhanced food security, including improved access 
     to safe food and adequate nutrition through sustainable 
     improvements in and expansion of local, small-scale, food-
     based agriculture and post-harvest food preservation;
       ``(iv) sound debt management, including debt relief as 
     appropriate;
       ``(v) investments in people's productive capabilities, 
     including measures to upgrade technical and managerial 
     knowledge and skills;
       ``(vi) measures to ensure that the poor, especially women, 
     have improved access to productive resources (including 
     credit for microenterprise initiatives, technical training 
     and market-related information, affordable and resource-
     conserving technologies, and land) and that they participate 
     fully in the benefits of growth in employment and income; and
       ``(vii) sustainable improvements to agriculture, through 
     support for agricultural research, provision of appropriate 
     technology, outreach to farmers, and improvement of 
     marketing, storage and transportation systems.
       ``(2) Protecting the global environment.--
       ``(A) Rationale.--The economic and social well-being and 
     the security of the United States, indeed the health of 
     United States citizens and of the entire world community, 
     depend critically on the global environment and natural 
     resource base. Consumption patterns, systems of industrial 
     and agricultural production, demographic trends, and the use 
     of natural resources directly affect the sustainability of 
     long-term development and growth and the integrity of the 
     ecosystem. Development that does not take account of its 
     environmental consequences will not be economically 
     sustainable. Improved resource management is a critical 
     element of a balanced pattern of development. Both developed 
     and developing countries share responsibility to present and 
     future generations for the rational and sustainable 
     management of natural resources and for environmental 
     protection. The industrialization and consumption patterns of 
     developed countries often impose heavy environmental costs 
     worldwide. Developing countries, which are the stewards of 
     most of the world's biological diversity, not only suffer 
     disproportionately from the consequences of environmental 
     degradation, but also contribute to that degradation as they 
     struggle to meet the basic needs of their people. Therefore, 
     environmental sustainability cannot be secured without 
     reducing poverty, nor can poverty be eliminated without 
     sustainable management of the natural resource base.
       ``(B) Means.--Protecting the global environment requires 
     addressing the root causes of environmental harm, promoting 
     environmentally-sound patterns of growth and supporting 
     improved management of natural resources. These activities 
     shall include efforts to address urgent global environmental 
     problems, including the loss of biological diversity and 
     global climate change, as well as efforts to address 
     significant environmental problems within countries and 
     regions. Such efforts shall seek to promote sound 
     environmental policies and practices and development that is 
     environmentally, socially and culturally sound over the 
     longer-term, including programs for natural resources 
     conservation, protection of threatened and endangered 
     species, preservation of ecosystems and natural habitats, 
     non-polluting methods of agricultural and industrial 
     production, preparation of environmental impact assessments, 
     improved energy efficiency, better resource management and 
     monitoring, and reduction and safe disposal of wastes.
       ``(3) Supporting democratic participation.--
       ``(A) Rationale.--It is in the national interest of the 
     United States and in keeping with United States democratic 
     traditions to support democratic aspirations and values, 
     foster the spread of enduring democratic institutions, and 
     encourage universal respect for civil and human rights. The 
     strengthening of civil society and non-governmental 
     institutions, including business associations and labor 
     unions, that encourage broad participation and protect human 
     rights is an essential element of the ability of nations to 
     sustain development efforts.
       ``(B) Means.--Programs to support democratic participation 
     must help to build and strengthen organizations and 
     institutions that foster inclusion in economic and political 
     decision-making at the local and national levels. Such 
     programs shall include those that promote respect for human 
     rights and the rule of law; an expanding role for 
     nongovernmental and citizens' organizations and their 
     capacity to effectively participate in political and economic 
     decision-making and to implement development programs; 
     enhanced citizen access to public information; the ability of 
     all citizens to choose freely their government and to hold 
     that government accountable for its actions; advancement of 
     legal, social, and economic equality for women, workers, and 
     minorities, including the elimination of all forms of 
     violence against women and expanded opportunities for persons 
     with disabilities; and strengthened principles of tolerance 
     among and within religious and ethnic groups.
       ``(4) Stabilizing world population and promoting 
     reproductive health.--
       ``(A) Rationale.--Many individuals still do not have access 
     to the means to determine the number and spacing of their 
     children. Rapid population growth, among other factors, 
     aggravates poor health, perpetuates poverty, and inhibits 
     saving and investment, particularly investments in people in 
     the form of basic health and education services. Continued 
     rapid growth in world population will undercut sustainable 
     development efforts. Unsustainable population growth is 
     directly tied to degradation of the natural resource base and 
     the environment and contributes to economic stagnation and 
     political instability. The problems associated with rapid 
     population growth are interrelated with economic and social 
     inequities, particularly the low status of women, and 
     patterns of resource consumption. Rapid population growth 
     impedes development and retards progress on global issues of 
     direct concern to the United States.
       ``(B) Means.--The primary means to stabilize population at 
     levels that are consistent with sustainable, broadly-based 
     development and with recognized standards of human rights, 
     are to provide women and men with the means to freely and 
     responsibly choose the number and spacing of their children, 
     and to contribute to improved reproductive health. This calls 
     for a focus on enhanced access to and improved quality of 
     voluntary family planning services and reproductive health 
     care. Such efforts should be complemented by programs carried 
     out in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (5) to improve 
     female education, raise the economic and social status of 
     women, and increase infant and child survival rates.
       ``(5) Developing human resources.--
       ``(A) Rationale.--Reducing the worst manifestations of 
     poverty through the development of human resource capacity is 
     essential to long-term peace and international stability. 
     Individuals, communities, and nations cannot be fully 
     productive when impaired by disease, illiteracy, and hunger 
     resulting from the neglect of human resources. While broad-
     based economic growth is necessary for the reduction of the 
     worst manifestations of poverty, such growth cannot be 
     sustained unless all people, and especially women, have the 
     basic assets and capabilities that foster the opportunity for 
     participation in the economic, social and political life of 
     their country.
       ``(B) Means.--To reduce the worst manifestations of 
     poverty, sustainable development programs must develop human 
     resources by securing universal access to adequate food, safe 
     drinking water, basic sanitation, and basic shelter; 
     expanding education to all segments of society, with emphasis 
     on basic education and particular attention to equalizing 
     male and female literacy and schooling; providing equal 
     access to credit; improving the coverage, quality and 
     sustainability of basic health services; preventing the 
     spread of HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases; reducing 
     substantially undernutrition and malnutrition through 
     expanded nutrition education and food safety measures, 
     promotion of breast-feeding and sound weaning practices, and 
     micronutrient therapies targeted at vitamin and mineral 
     deficiencies; and investing in the well-being of children 
     through improved and expanded immunization programs, oral 
     rehydration to combat diarrheal diseases, education programs 
     aimed at improving child survival and child welfare and 
     promoting child spacing.
       ``(d) Cross-Cutting Principles.--Sustainable development 
     programs authorized by this chapter shall be carried out in 
     accordance with the following cross-cutting principles:
       ``(1) Popular participation.--
       ``(A) In general.--The success of sustainable development 
     depends on the participation of targeted communities in the 
     identification, design, implementation, and evaluation of 
     projects, programs, and assistance strategies and overall 
     strategic objectives. 

[[Page S 11020]]
     To be effective, such participation must incorporate the local-level 
     perspectives of traditionally underserved populations and 
     communities, including women, persons with disabilities, 
     ethnic and religious minorities, indigenous peoples, and the 
     rural and urban poor.
       ``(B) Nongovernmental organizations.--Incorporation of 
     local perspectives requires effective consultation and 
     coordination with nongovernmental organizations, including 
     private and voluntary organizations, cooperatives and credit 
     unions, labor unions, private sector businesses and trade 
     associations, women's groups, educational institutions, and 
     indigenous local organizations which represent and are 
     knowledgeable about local people. Effective consultation and 
     coordination requires the involvement of such organizations 
     in the formulation of development strategies for specific 
     countries and sectors, the development of procedures and 
     regulations governing the implementation of programs, and the 
     evaluation and monitoring of programs.
       ``(C) Utilization of united states institutional 
     capabilities.--United States institutions such as public and 
     private institutions of science, technology, business, and 
     education can provide a unique contribution to sustainable 
     development programs. Programs undertaken to achieve the 
     sustainable development purposes of this title bring greater 
     mutual benefit by recognizing and taking advantage of: United 
     States capabilities in science and technology; access to 
     education and training in United States colleges, 
     universities, and technical training facilities; private 
     sector entrepreneurial skills; and United States public 
     sector expertise. This may be encouraged through long-term 
     collaboration between public and private institutions of 
     science, technology, business, and education in the United 
     States and developing countries and emerging democracies.
       ``(2) Role of women.--
       ``(A) In general.--Women play central and productive roles 
     throughout the world in the well-being of nations, 
     communities and families. Recognizing women's contributions 
     and incorporating their perspectives, knowledge and 
     experience is critical in developing global strategies for 
     promoting peace, prosperity and democracy.
       ``(B) Empowerment of women.--To be sustainable, development 
     must foster the economic, political and social empowerment of 
     women. Expanding opportunities for women is essential to 
     reducing poverty, improving health, slowing population growth 
     and environmental degradation, and achieving sustainable 
     development. For this to occur, women must have full and 
     equitable access to productive resources: credit, land, 
     technology, agricultural extension and marketing services, 
     training and other forms of assistance. Increased female 
     education further empowers women by allowing their effective 
     participation in the development process. Therefore, United 
     States sustainable development policies and programs must be 
     designed and implemented to fully integrate women as agents 
     and beneficiaries.
       ``(3) Managing for results.--
       ``(A) In general.--Assistance cannot substitute for a 
     developing country's own efforts to improve the lives of its 
     people, nor can the United States afford to provide 
     assistance which does not yield enduring results in terms of 
     improving the lives of the poor, encouraging a stable and 
     prosperous global order, and contributing to the interests of 
     the people of the United States.
       ``(B) Country requirements.--Targeting assistance toward 
     countries that have demonstrated a need for such programs, 
     that will make effective use of such programs, and that have 
     a commitment to achieving the sustainable development 
     purposes described in this title ensures the most effective 
     use of scarce foreign aid resources. Indicators of such 
     countries include the extent to which: there is a high 
     incidence of hunger and poverty, there is an enabling 
     environment in which government economic policies are 
     conducive to accomplishing those sustainable development 
     purposes, government decisionmaking is transparent, 
     government institutions are accountable to the public, an 
     independent and honest judiciary is maintained, local 
     government bodies are democratically elected, and political 
     parties, nongovernmental organizations and the media operate 
     without undue constraints.
       ``(C) Measuring results.--Assistance under this part 
     requires the commitment and progress of countries in moving 
     toward the purpose of sustainable development described in 
     subsection (b), while recognizing the long-term nature of 
     development processes and the difficulty of selecting 
     reliable and meaningful indicators of success. Through the 
     establishment of open and transparent systems to monitor the 
     results of assistance programs the United States will assess 
     the effectiveness of its programs and shift scarce resources 
     from unproductive programs, sectors or countries to those 
     which have demonstrated the commitment and ability to use 
     them effectively.''.

     SEC.   .

       It is the sense of the Senate that:
       (1) the current economic recovery has generated record 
     profits for industry, but hourly wages have grown at a below 
     average rate;
       (2) the minimum wage has not been raised since April 1, 
     1991, and has lost more than 10% of its purchasing power 
     since then;
       (3) the average minimum wage worker provides 50% of her 
     family's weekly earnings;
       (4) nearly two-thirds of minimum wage workers are adults, 
     and 60% are women;
       (5) a full-time, year-round worker who is paid the minimum 
     wage earns $8,500 a year, less than a poverty level income 
     for a family of two;
       (6) there are 4.7 million Americans who usually work full-
     time but who are, nevertheless, in poverty, and 4.2 million 
     families live in poverty despite having one or more members 
     in the labor force for at least half the year;
       (7) the 30% decline in the value of the minimum wage since 
     1979 has contributed to Americans' growing income inequality 
     and to the fact that 97% of the growth in household income 
     has accrued to the wealthiest 20%;
       (8) legislation to raise the minimum wage to $5.15 an hour 
     was introduced on February 14, 1995, but has not been debated 
     by the Senate; and
       (9) the Senate should debate and vote on whether to raise 
     the minimum wage before the end of the first session of the 
     104th Congress.''

     ``SEC.  .WARM PEACE WITH ISRAEL.

       (a) Findings.
       (1) the United States Congress approved a free trade 
     agreement with Israel on April 29, 1985;
       (2) the free trade agreement with Israel was designed to 
     increase U.S. economic ties with Israel;
       (3) the goal of U.S. policy in the Middle East is to 
     achieve a lasting peace that brings economic integration and 
     development in the region;
       (4) economic integration and development in the Middle East 
     can only be achieved through a ``warm'' peace in which 
     diplomats are exchanged, the Arab boycott of Israel has been 
     eliminated, close cooperation between Israel and her 
     neighbors to combat terrorism and international criminal 
     activity has been established, mutual security agreements 
     have been concluded and agreements have been reached that 
     mutually reduce barriers to the free flow of goods, people 
     and ideas;
       (5) a ``warm'' peace in the Middle East between Israel and 
     her neighbors should be based upon trade and expanding 
     economic development;
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the President should:
       (1) expand the United States' free trade agreement with 
     Israel to include those countries who sustain a ``warm'' 
     peace with Israel;
       (2) prior to such expansion and yearly thereafter, certify 
     to the Congress that such country or countries have entered 
     into a ``warm'' peace that includes--
       (i) The recognition of Israel and establishment of full 
     diplomatic relations with Israel, including the exchange of 
     ambassadors;
       (ii) Eliminating all levels of the Arab boycott of Israel;
       (iii) A commitment to a quick response to condemn and 
     punish terrorist acts and those who perpetrate them;
       (iv) Working closely with Israel to remove havens for 
     terorists;
       (v) Mutual security agreements with Israel;
       (vi) Agreements with Israel on reciprocal treatment of 
     criminals;
       (vii) Agreements with Israel which ensure the mutual 
     reduction of barriers to the free flow of goods, people and 
     ideas.
       (3) Not extend any preferences or trade inducements to a 
     country that is a state-sponsor of terrorism.

     consultation with the Administrator of the Agency for 
     International Development, identify and eliminate all 
     duplicative, overlapping, or superfluous personnel, 
     functions, goals, activities, offices, and programs within 
     and between the Department of State and the Agency for 
     International Development.
       (b) Report.--Not later than March 31, 1996, or 180 days 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, whichever is later, 
     the Secretary of State shall submit a report describing the 
     personnel, functions, goals, activities, offices, and 
     programs identified under subsection (a) to the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on 
     International Relations of the House of Representatives, 
     together with proposed legislation if additional statutory 
     authority is required to implement subsection (a). Each 
     report shall also include projected cost savings and 
     personnel reductions to be achieved through implementation of 
     subsection (a).

     SEC. 1402. COORDINATION OF PROGRAMS.

       (a) International Coordination and Leadership.--The United 
     States shall seek to coordinate its sustainable development 
     programs with other bilateral and multilateral donors, as 
     well as with the private sector, in order to maximize the 
     effectiveness of resources allocated to sustainable 
     development. The United States also should exercise 
     leadership in building the global commitment and cooperation 
     necessary for countries to make significant progress toward 
     the 

[[Page S 11024]]
     goals adopted at international fora relating to sustainable 
     development.
       (b) Coordination of United States Programs and Policies.--
     The President shall establish a mechanism--
       (1) to coordinate, and to eliminate duplication among, all 
     United States policies, programs and activities designed to 
     promote sustainable development, including those that are 
     funded or carried out by the United States Agency for 
     International Development, the Department of State, the 
     Department of the Treasury, the Department of Agriculture, 
     the African Development Foundation, the Inter-American 
     Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Peace 
     Corps, and other involved departments or agencies;
       (2) to ensure that United States policies and activities at 
     the international financial institutions and other 
     international organizations engaged in development activities 
     are consistent and complementary with sustainable 
     development; and
       (3) to ensure that United States policies, programs and 
     activities designed to promote growth through trade and 
     investment, such as the Overseas Private Investment 
     Corporation, the Trade and Development Agency, and the 
     Export-Import Bank of the United States, are consistent and 
     complementary with those purposes.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 6 months after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, and not later than March 1 of each 
     year thereafter, the President shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report explaining the 
     way in which the responsibilities for programs are delineated 
     and coordinated among the various agencies and departments 
     described under subsection (b), and the way in which 
     duplication and waste will be avoided.

     SEC. 1403. REFORM AND STREAMLINING OF GOALS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Repeals.--The following provisions of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961 are repealed: Sections 102, 103, 103A, 
     104 (a)-(e) and (g), 105, 106, 113, 117 (a) and (b), 118, 
     119, 120, 125, 128, 206, 219, 241, and 281.
       (b) Sustainable Development Program.--Section 101 of the 
     Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151) is amended to 
     read as follows:

     ``SEC. 101. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS.

       ``(a) In General.--The promotion of sustainable development 
     at home and abroad is in the long-term interests of the 
     United States. Sustainable development means broad-based 
     economic growth that protects the environment, enhances human 
     capabilities, upholds human rights and democratic values, and 
     improves the quality of life for current generations while 
     preserving that opportunity for future generations.
       ``(b) Purpose.--The ultimate purpose of programs under this 
     chapter is to enable the poorest countries and people of the 
     world to provide for their own economic security without 
     further outside assistance. This purpose is pursued 
     internationally by supporting the self-help efforts of people 
     in developing countries--
       ``(1) to implement sound policies that increase self-
     reliance, equity, and productive capacity;
       ``(2) to invest in developing their human resources; and
       ``(3) to build effective and accountable indigenous 
     political, economic, and social institutions.
       ``(c) Programs.--The President is authorized to provide 
     assistance under this chapter of the following five 
     interrelated types:
       ``(1) Encouraging broad-based economic growth.--
       ``(A) Rationale.--Broad-based economic growth means 
     equitable and inclusive economic expansion in developing 
     countries. Such growth is in the economic, political, and 
     strategic interests of the United States because it permits 
     countries to progress toward economic self-reliance, improve 
     the living standards of their citizens, reduce the incidence 
     of poverty, promote food security and nutritional well-being, 
     slow population growth, and increase opportunities for 
     mutually beneficial international trade and investment. 
     Broad-based economic growth also improves the prospects for 
     the spread of democracy and political pluralism.
       ``(B) Means.--Broad-based economic growth requires, in 
     addition to sound economic policies--
       ``(i) a broader role for and access to markets for both 
     women and men through improved policies that protect and 
     advance economic rights for all citizens without regard to 
     gender, race, religion, language or social status, that 
     increase self-reliance in meeting basic needs, and that raise 
     real incomes for poor people;
       ``(ii) stronger and more accountable public and private 
     institutions at the local and national level, and sound 
     public investments;
       ``(iii) enhanced food security, including improved access 
     to safe food and adequate nutrition through sustainable 
     improvements in and expansion of local, small-scale, food-
     based agriculture and post-harvest food preservation;
       ``(iv) sound debt management, including debt relief as 
     appropriate;
       ``(v) investments in people's productive capabilities, 
     including measures to upgrade technical and managerial 
     knowledge and skills;
       ``(vi) measures to ensure that the poor, especially women, 
     have improved access to productive resources (including 
     credit for microenterprise initiatives, technical training 
     and market-related information, affordable and resource-
     conserving technologies, and land) and that they participate 
     fully in the benefits of growth in employment and income; and
       ``(vii) sustainable improvements to agriculture, through 
     support for agricultural research, provision of appropriate 
     technology, outreach to farmers, and improvement of 
     marketing, storage and transportation systems.
       ``(2) Protecting the global environment.--
       ``(A) Rationale.--The economic and social well-being and 
     the security of the United States, indeed the health of 
     United States citizens and of the entire world community, 
     depend critically on the global environment and natural 
     resource base. Consumption patterns, systems of industrial 
     and agricultural production, demographic trends, and the use 
     of natural resources directly affect the sustainability of 
     long-term development and growth and the integrity of the 
     ecosystem. Development that does not take account of its 
     environmental consequences will not be economically 
     sustainable. Improved resource management is a critical 
     element of a balanced pattern of development. Both developed 
     and developing countries share responsibility to present and 
     future generations for the rational and sustainable 
     management of natural resources and for environmental 
     protection. The industrialization and consumption patterns of 
     developed countries often impose heavy environmental costs 
     worldwide. Developing countries, which are the stewards of 
     most of the world's biological diversity, not only suffer 
     disproportionately from the consequences of environmental 
     degradation, but also contribute to that degradation as they 
     struggle to meet the basic needs of their people. Therefore, 
     environmental sustainability cannot be secured without 
     reducing poverty, nor can poverty be eliminated without 
     sustainable management of the natural resource base.
       ``(B) Means.--Protecting the global environment requires 
     addressing the root causes of environmental harm, promoting 
     environmentally-sound patterns of growth and supporting 
     improved management of natural resources. These activities 
     shall include efforts to address urgent global environmental 
     problems, including the loss of biological diversity and 
     global climate change, as well as efforts to address 
     significant environmental problems within countries and 
     regions. Such efforts shall seek to promote sound 
     environmental policies and practices and development that is 
     environmentally, socially and culturally sound over the 
     longer-term, including programs for natural resources 
     conservation, protection of threatened and endangered 
     species, preservation of ecosystems and natural habitats, 
     non-polluting methods of agricultural and industrial 
     production, preparation of environmental impact assessments, 
     improved energy efficiency, better resource management and 
     monitoring, and reduction and safe disposal of wastes.
       ``(3) Supporting democratic participation.--
       ``(A) Rationale.--It is in the national interest of the 
     United States and in keeping with United States democratic 
     traditions to support democratic aspirations and values, 
     foster the spread of enduring democratic institutions, and 
     encourage universal respect for civil and human rights. The 
     strengthening of civil society and non-governmental 
     institutions, including business associations and labor 
     unions, that encourage broad participation and protect human 
     rights is an essential element of the ability of nations to 
     sustain development efforts.
       ``(B) Means.--Programs to support democratic participation 
     must help to build and strengthen organizations and 
     institutions that foster inclusion in economic and political 
     decision-making at the local and national levels. Such 
     programs shall include those that promote respect for human 
     rights and the rule of law; an expanding role for 
     nongovernmental and citizens' organizations and their 
     capacity to effectively participate in political and economic 
     decision-making and to implement development programs; 
     enhanced citizen access to public information; the ability of 
     all citizens to choose freely their government and to hold 
     that government accountable for its actions; advancement of 
     legal, social, and economic equality for women, workers, and 
     minorities, including the elimination of all forms of 
     violence against women and expanded opportunities for persons 
     with disabilities; and strengthened principles of tolerance 
     among and within religious and ethnic groups.
       ``(4) Stabilizing world population and promoting 
     reproductive health.--
       ``(A) Rationale.--Many individuals still do not have access 
     to the means to determine the number and spacing of their 
     children. Rapid population growth, among other factors, 
     aggravates poor health, perpetuates poverty, and inhibits 
     saving and investment, particularly investments in people in 
     the form of basic health and education services. Continued 
     rapid growth in world population will undercut sustainable 
     development efforts. Unsustainable population growth is 
     directly tied to degradation of the natural resource base and 
     the environment and contributes to economic stagnation and 
     political instability. The problems associated with rapid 
     population growth are interrelated with economic and social 
     inequities, particularly the low status of women, and 
     patterns of resource consumption. Rapid population growth 
     impedes development and retards 

[[Page S 11025]]
     progress on global issues of direct concern to the United States.
       ``(B) Means.--The primary means to stabilize population at 
     levels that are consistent with sustainable, broadly-based 
     development and with recognized standards of human rights, 
     are to provide women and men with the means to freely and 
     responsibly choose the number and spacing of their children, 
     and to contribute to improved reproductive health. This calls 
     for a focus on enhanced access to and improved quality of 
     voluntary family planning services and reproductive health 
     care. Such efforts should be complemented by programs carried 
     out in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (5) to improve 
     female education, raise the economic and social status of 
     women, and increase infant and child survival rates.
       ``(5) Developing human resources.--
       ``(A) Rationale.--Reducing the worst manifestations of 
     poverty through the development of human resource capacity is 
     essential to long-term peace and international stability. 
     Individuals, communities, and nations cannot be fully 
     productive when impaired by disease, illiteracy, and hunger 
     resulting from the neglect of human resources. While broad-
     based economic growth is necessary for the reduction of the 
     worst manifestations of poverty, such growth cannot be 
     sustained unless all people, and especially women, have the 
     basic assets and capabilities that foster the opportunity for 
     participation in the economic, social and political life of 
     their country.
       ``(B) Means.--To reduce the worst manifestations of 
     poverty, sustainable development programs must develop human 
     resources by securing universal access to adequate food, safe 
     drinking water, basic sanitation, and basic shelter; 
     expanding education to all segments of society, with emphasis 
     on basic education and particular attention to equalizing 
     male and female literacy and schooling; providing equal 
     access to credit; improving the coverage, quality and 
     sustainability of basic health services; preventing the 
     spread of HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases; reducing 
     substantially undernutrition and malnutrition through 
     expanded nutrition education and food safety measures, 
     promotion of breast-feeding and sound weaning practices, and 
     micronutrient therapies targeted at vitamin and mineral 
     deficiencies; and investing in the well-being of children 
     through improved and expanded immunization programs, oral 
     rehydration to combat diarrheal diseases, education programs 
     aimed at improving child survival and child welfare and 
     promoting child spacing.
       ``(d) Cross-Cutting Principles.--Sustainable development 
     programs authorized by this chapter shall be carried out in 
     accordance with the following cross-cutting principles:
       ``(1) Popular participation.--
       ``(A) In general.--The success of sustainable development 
     depends on the participation of targeted communities in the 
     identification, design, implementation, and evaluation of 
     projects, programs, and assistance strategies and overall 
     strategic objectives. To be effective, such participation 
     must incorporate the local-level perspectives of 
     traditionally underserved populations and communities, 
     including women, persons with disabilities, ethnic and 
     religious minorities, indigenous peoples, and the rural and 
     urban poor.
       ``(B) Nongovernmental organizations.--Incorporation of 
     local perspectives requires effective consultation and 
     coordination with nongovernmental organizations, including 
     private and voluntary organizations, cooperatives and credit 
     unions, labor unions, private sector businesses and trade 
     associations, women's groups, educational institutions, and 
     indigenous local organizations which represent and are 
     knowledgeable about local people. Effective consultation and 
     coordination requires the involvement of such organizations 
     in the formulation of development strategies for specific 
     countries and sectors, the development of procedures and 
     regulations governing the implementation of programs, and the 
     evaluation and monitoring of programs.
       ``(C) Utilization of united states institutional 
     capabilities.--United States institutions such as public and 
     private institutions of science, technology, business, and 
     education can provide a unique contribution to sustainable 
     development programs. Programs undertaken to achieve the 
     sustainable development purposes of this title bring greater 
     mutual benefit by recognizing and taking advantage of: United 
     States capabilities in science and technology; access to 
     education and training in United States colleges, 
     universities, and technical training facilities; private 
     sector entrepreneurial skills; and United States public 
     sector expertise. This may be encouraged through long-term 
     collaboration between public and private institutions of 
     science, technology, business, and education in the United 
     States and developing countries and emerging democracies.
       ``(2) Role of women.--
       ``(A) In general.--Women play central and productive roles 
     throughout the world in the well-being of nations, 
     communities and families. Recognizing women's contributions 
     and incorporating their perspectives, knowledge and 
     experience is critical in developing global strategies for 
     promoting peace, prosperity and democracy.
       ``(B) Empowerment of women.--To be sustainable, development 
     must foster the economic, political and social empowerment of 
     women. Expanding opportunities for women is essential to 
     reducing poverty, improving health, slowing population growth 
     and environmental degradation, and achieving sustainable 
     development. For this to occur, women must have full and 
     equitable access to productive resources: credit, land, 
     technology, agricultural extension and marketing services, 
     training and other forms of assistance. Increased female 
     education further empowers women by allowing their effective 
     participation in the development process. Therefore, United 
     States sustainable development policies and programs must be 
     designed and implemented to fully integrate women as agents 
     and beneficiaries.
       ``(3) Managing for results.--
       ``(A) In general.--Assistance cannot substitute for a 
     developing country's own efforts to improve the lives of its 
     people, nor can the United States afford to provide 
     assistance which does not yield enduring results in terms of 
     improving the lives of the poor, encouraging a stable and 
     prosperous global order, and contributing to the interests of 
     the people of the United States.
       ``(B) Country requirements.--Targeting assistance toward 
     countries that have demonstrated a need for such programs, 
     that will make effective use of such programs, and that have 
     a commitment to achieving the sustainable development 
     purposes described in this title ensures the most effective 
     use of scarce foreign aid resources. Indicators of such 
     countries include the extent to which: there is a high 
     incidence of hunger and poverty, there is an enabling 
     environment in which government economic policies are 
     conducive to accomplishing those sustainable development 
     purposes, government decisionmaking is transparent, 
     government institutions are accountable to the public, an 
     independent and honest judiciary is maintained, local 
     government bodies are democratically elected, and political 
     parties, nongovernmental organizations and the media operate 
     without undue constraints.
       ``(C) Measuring results.--Assistance under this part 
     requires the commitment and progress of countries in moving 
     toward the purpose of sustainable development described in 
     subsection (b), while recognizing the long-term nature of 
     development processes and the difficulty of selecting 
     reliable and meaningful indicators of success. Through the 
     establishment of open and transparent systems to monitor the 
     results of assistance programs the United States will assess 
     the effectiveness of its programs and shift scarce resources 
     from unproductive programs, sectors or countries to those 
     which have demonstrated the commitment and ability to use 
     them effectively.''.
       (c) Effective Date.--The repeals made by subsection (a) and 
     the amendment made by subsection (b) shall take effect on 
     October 1, 1995.

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. FEINGOLD submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert:

      SEC. 1. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The People's Republic of China compromises one-fifth of 
     the world's population, 

[[Page S 11026]]
     or 1,200,000,000 people, and its policies have a profound effect on the 
     world economy and global security.
       (2) The People's Republic of China, is a permanent member 
     of the United Nations Security Council and plays an important 
     role in regional organizations such as the Asia-Pacific 
     Economic Cooperation Forum and the ASEAN Regional Forum.
       (3) The People's Republic of China is a nuclear power with 
     the largest standing army in the world, and has been rapidly 
     modernizing and expanding its military capabilities.
       (4) The People's Republic of China is currently undergoing 
     a change of leadership which will have dramatic implications 
     for the political and economic future of the Chinese people 
     and for China's relations with the United States.
       (5) China's estimated $600,000,000,000 economy has enjoyed 
     unparalleled growth in recent years.
       (6) Despite increased economic linkages between the United 
     States and China, bilateral relations have deteriorated 
     significantly because of fundamental policy differences over 
     a variety of important issues.
       (7) The People's Republic of China has violated 
     international standards regarding the nonproliferation of 
     weapons of mass destruction.
       (8) The Government of the People's Republic of China, a 
     member of the United Nations Security Council, is obligated 
     to respect and uphold the United Nations Charter and 
     Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
       (9) According to the State Department Country Report on 
     Human Rights Practices for 1994, there continue to be 
     ``widespread and well-documented human rights abuses in 
     China, in violation of the internationally accepted norms . . 
     . (including) arbitrary and lengthy incommunicado detention, 
     torture, and mistreatment of prisoners . . . The regime 
     continued severe restrictions on freedom of speech, press, 
     assembly and association, and tightened control on the 
     exercise of these rights during 1994. Serious human rights 
     abuses persisted in Tibet and other areas populated by ethnic 
     minorities.''
       (10) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     continues to detain political prisoners and continues to 
     violate internationally recognized standards of human rights 
     by arbitrary arrests and detention of persons for the 
     nonviolent expression of their political and religious 
     beliefs.
       (11) The Government of the People's Republic of China does 
     not ensure the humane treatment of prisoners and does not 
     allow humanitarian and human rights organizations access to 
     prisons.
       (12) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     continues to harass and restrict the activities of accredited 
     journalists and to restrict
       (13) In the weeks leading to the 6th anniversary of the 
     June 1989 massacre, a series of petitions were sent to the 
     Chinese Government calling for greater tolerance, democracy, 
     rule of law, and an accounting for the 1989 victims and the 
     Chinese Government responded by detaining dozens of prominent 
     intellectuals and activists.
       (14) The unjustified and arbitrary arrest, imprisonment, 
     and initiation of criminal proceedings against Harry Wu, a 
     citizen of the United States, has greatly exacerbated the 
     deterioration in relations between the United States and the 
     People's Republic of China, and all charges against him 
     should be dismissed.
       (15) China has failed to release political prisoners with 
     serious medical problems, such as Bao Tong, and on June 25, 
     1995, revoked ``medical parole'' for Chen-Ziming 
     reimprisoning him at Beijing No. 2 Prison and Chinese 
     authorities continue to hold Wei Jingsheng incommunicado at 
     an unknown location since his arrest on April 1, 1994.
       (16) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     continues to engage in discriminatory and unfair trade 
     practices, including the exportation of products produced by 
     prison labor, the use of import quotas and other quantitative 
     restrictions on
      selected products, the unilateral increasing of tariff rates 
     and the imposition of taxes as surcharges on tariffs, the 
     barring of the importation of certain items, the use of 
     licensing and testing requirements to limit imports, and 
     the transshipment of textiles and other items through the 
     falsification of country of origin documentation.
       (17) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     continues to employ the policy and practice of controlling 
     all trade unions and continues to suppress and harass members 
     of the independent labor union movement.
       (18) The United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 states 
     that Congress wishes to see the provisions of the joint 
     declaration implemented, and declares that ``the rights of 
     the people of Hong Kong are of great importance to the U.S. 
     Human Rights also serve as a basis for Hong Kong's continued 
     prosperity,''. This together with the rule of law and a free 
     press are essential for a successful tradition in 1997.
       (19) The United States currently has numerous sanctions on 
     the People's Republic of China with respect to government-to-
     government assistance, arms sales and other commercial 
     transactions.
       (20) It is in the interest of the United States to foster 
     China's continued engagement in the broadest range of 
     international fora and increased respect for human rights, 
     democratic institutions, and the rule of law in China.

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:

     SEC.   . PEACE AND STABILITY IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The South China Sea is a critically important waterway 
     through which 25 percent of the world's ocean freight and 70 
     percent of Japan's energy supplies transit.
       (2) The South China Sea serves as a crucial sea lane for 
     United States Navy ships moving between the Pacific and 
     Indian Oceans, particularly in time of emergency.
       (3) There are a number of competing claims to territory in 
     the South China Sea.
       (4) The 1992 Manila Declaration adhered to by the 
     Association of South East Asian Nations, the Socialist 
     Republic of Vietnam, and the People's Republic of China calls 
     for all claimants to territory in the South China Sea to 
     resolve questions of boundaries through peaceful 
     negotiations.
       (5) The legislature of the People's Republic of China has 
     declared the entire South China Sea to be Chinese territorial 
     waters.
       (6) The armed forces of the People's Republic of China have 
     asserted China's claim to the South China Sea through the 
     kidnapping of citizens of the Republic of the Philippines and 
     the construction of military bases on territory claimed by 
     the Philippines.
       (7) These acts of aggression committed by the armed forces 
     of the People's Republic of China against citizens of the 
     Philippines are contrary to both international law and to 
     peace and stability in East Asia.
       (b) Policy Declarations.--the Congress--
       (1) declares the right of free passage through the South 
     China Sea to be vital to the national security interests of 
     the United States, its friends and allies;
       (2) declares that any attempt by a nondemocratic power to 
     assert, through the use of force or intimidation, its claims 
     to territory in the South China Sea to be a matter of grave 
     concern to the United States;
       (3) calls upon the Government of the People's Republic of 
     China to adhere faithfully to its commitment under the Manila 
     declaration of 1992; and
       (4) calls upon the President to review the defense needs of 
     democratic countries with claims to territory in the South 
     China Sea.
                                                                    ____

     SEC.  . MARTIN C. M. LEE, Q.C. OF HONG KONG.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Mr. Martin C.M. Lee, Q.C. is a distinguished barrister 
     and a former chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association.
       (c) In 1985 Mr. Lee became the Hong Kong legal community's 
     first representative to the Hong Kong Legislative council.
       (3) Mr. Lee is the Chairman of the Democratic Party of Hong 
     Kong.
       (4) In Hong Kong's first-ever democratic elections in 1991, 
     Mr. Lee won the most votes of any candidate.
       (5) In recognition of his ``extraordinary contributions to 
     the causes of human rights, the rule of law and promotion of 
     access to justice'', the American Bar Association has 
     announced that it has chosen Mr. Martin C.M. Lee, Q.C., as 
     the recipient of its 1995 International Human Rights Award.
       (b) Commendations.--the Congress--
       (1) commends the American Bar Association for its 
     recognition of Mr. Martin C. M. Lee, Q.C. of Hong Kong and 
     its decision to present him with the 1995 ABA International

       (2) commends Mr. Martin C.M. Lee, Q.C. of Hong Kong for his 
     tireless devotion to the people of Hong Kong and the cause of 
     human rights for all peoples.
                                                                    ____

                           Amendment No. 1998

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:

     SEC.   . HUMAN RIGHTS IN BURMA.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The United States Department of State has declared 
     that, ``Burma is ruled by a highly authoritarian, military 
     regime that has been condemned for its serious human rights 
     abuses.''
       (2) Among the human rights abuses the Burmese military 
     regime, known as the State Law and Order Restoration Council 
     or SLORC has committed are summary executions, rape, torture, 
     forced labor, politically motivated arrests and detention, 
     and suppression of minority groups.
       (3) In democratic elections held on May 27, 1990 the 
     Burmese people voted by an overwhelming majority for the 
     representatives of the National League for Democracy led by 
     Aung San Suu Kyi.
       (4) The Burmese military regime vitiated the election, 
     placed Mrs. Suu Kyi under house arrest and jailed thousands 
     of her supporters.

[[Page S 11028]]

       (5) In 1991 Mrs. Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
       (6) In the face of a clear determination by the United 
     States Congress to punish the SLORC severely, the Burmese 
     military regime gave Mrs. Suu Kyi her unconditional release 
     on July 10, 1995.
       (7) However, the SLORC has still not released thousands of 
     other Burmese supporters of the democracy movement and has 
     not started a dialogue with Mrs. Suu Kyi to restore 
     democratic rule to Burma.
       (b) Policy Declarations.--The Congress--
       (1) declares the restoration of democracy in Burma to be a 
     major foreign policy goal of the United States, and
       (2) declares that a failure by the Burmese State Law and 
     Order Council to release all political prisoners and open a 
     dialogue with Aung San Suu Kyi and other Burmese democratic 
     leaders will lead to appropriate sanctions by the United 
     States Congress.
                                                                    ____

                           Amendment No. 1999

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following
       Findings: The United States Department of State believes 
     Iran was the greatest supporter of state terrorism in 1992, 
     supporting more than 20 terrorist acts, including the bombing 
     of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires that killed 29 people;
       The Secretary of State has determined, under the terms of 
     section 6(j)(1)(A) of the Export Administration Act of 1979, 
     that Iran has repeatedly provided support for acts of 
     international terrorism;
       Credible information exists indicating that defense 
     industrial trading companies of the People's Republic of 
     China have transferred ballistic missile technology to Iran;
       Section 73(f) of the Arms Export Control Act states that 
     when determining whether a foreign person may be subject to 
     United States sanctions for transferring technology listed on 
     the Missile Technology Control Regime Annex, it should be a 
     rebuttable presumption that such technology is designed for 
     use in a missile listed on the MTCR Annex, if the President 
     determines that the final destination of the item is a 
     country the government of which the Secretary of State has 
     determined, for purposes of section 6(j)(1)(A) of the Export 
     Administration Act of 1979, has repeatedly provided support 
     for acts of international terrorism;
       In 1994 Congress explicitly created section 73(f) of the 
     Arms Export Control Act in order to target the transfer of 
     ballistic missile technology to terrorist nations;
       A ballistic missile race exists on the Indian subcontinent 
     which is a threat to regional peace and stability; and
       Credible information exists indicating that defense 
     industrial trading companies of the People's Republic of 
     China have transferred ballistic missile technology to 
     Pakistan: Now, therefore, it is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) it is in the direct national security interest of the 
     United States to prevent the spread of ballistic missiles and 
     related technology to Iran and the Indian subcontinent; and
       (2) the President should exercise all legal authority 
     available to him to prevent the spread of ballistic missiles 
     and related technology to Iran and the Indian subcontinent.
                                 ______

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Middle 
     East Peace Facilitation Act of 1995''.
       (b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Palestine Liberation Organization (in this section 
     referred to as the ``PLO'') has recognized the State of 
     Israel's right to exist in peace and security; accepted 
     United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338; 
     committed itself to the peace process and peaceful 
     coexistence with Israel, free from violence and all other 
     acts which endanger peace and stability; and assumed 
     responsibility over all PLO elements and personnel in order 
     to assure their compliance, prevent violations, and 
     discipline violators;
       (2) Israel has recognized the PLO as the representative of 
     the Palestinian people;
       (3) Israel and the PLO signed a Declaration of Principles 
     on Interim Self-Government Arrangements (in this section 
     referred to as the ``Declaration of Principles'') on 
     September 13, 1993, at the White House;
       (4) Israel and the PLO signed an Agreement on the Gaza 
     Strip and the Jericho Area (in this section referred to as 
     the ``Gaza-Jericho Agreement'') on May 4, 1994, which 
     established a Palestinian Authority for the Gaza and Jericho 
     areas;
       (5) Israel and the PLO signed an Agreement on Preparatory 
     Transfer of Powers and Responsibilities (in this section 
     referred to as the ``Early Empowerment Agreement'') on August 
     29, 1994, which provided for the transfer to the Palestinian 
     Authority of certain powers and responsibilities in the West 
     Bank outside of the Jericho Area;
       (6) under the terms of the Declaration of Principles, the 
     Gaza-Jericho Agreement and the Early Empowerment Agreement, 
     the powers and responsibilities of the Palestinian Authority 
     are to be assumed by an elected Palestinian Council with 
     jurisdiction in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in accordance 
     with the Interim Agreement to be concluded between Israel and 
     the PLO;
       (7) permanent status negotiations relating to the West Bank 
     and Gaza Strip are scheduled to begin by May 1996;
       (8) the Congress has, since the conclusion of the 
     Declaration of Principles and the PLO's renunciation of 
     terrorism, provided authorities to the President to suspend 
     certain statutory restrictions relating to the PLO, subject 
     to Presidential certifications that the PLO has continued to 
     abide by commitments made in and in connection with or 
     resulting from the good faith implementation of, the 
     Declaration of Principles;
       (9) the PLO commitments relevant to Presidential 
     certifications have included commitments to renounce and 
     condemn terrorism, to submit to the Palestinian National 
     Council for formal approval the necessary changes to those 
     articles of the Palestinian Covenant which call for Israel's 
     destruction, and to prevent acts of terrorism and hostilities 
     against Israel; and
       (10) the President, in exercising the authorities described 
     in paragraph (8), has certified to the Congress on four 
     occasions that the PLO was abiding by its relevant 
     commitments.
       (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that although the PLO has recently shown improvement in its 
     efforts to 

[[Page S 11030]]
     fulfill its commitments, the PLO must do far more to demonstrate an 
     irrevocable denunciation of terrorism and ensure a peaceful 
     settlement of the Middle East dispute, and in particular the 
     PLO must--
       (1) submit to the Palestine National Council for formal 
     approval the necessary changes to those articles of the 
     Palestinian National Covenant which call for Israel's 
     destruction;
       (2) make greater efforts to preempt acts of terror, to 
     discipline violators, and to contribute to stemming the 
     violence that has resulted in the deaths of 123 Israeli 
     citizens since the signing of the Declaration of Principles;
       (3) prohibit participation in its activities and in the 
     Palestinian Authority and its successors by any groups or 
     individuals which continue to promote and commit acts of 
     terrorism;
       (4) cease all anti-Israel rhetoric, which potentially 
     undermines the peace process;
       (5) confiscate all unlicensed weapons and restrict the 
     issuance of licenses to those with legitimate need;
       (6) transfer any person, and cooperate in transfer 
     proceedings relating to any person, accused by Israel of acts 
     of terrorism; and
       (7) respect civil liberties, human rights and democratic 
     norms.
       (d) Authority To Suspend Certain Provisions.--
       (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), beginning on the 
     date of enactment of this Act and for 18 months thereafter 
     the President may suspend for a period of not more than 6 
     months at a time any provision of law specified in paragraph 
     (4). Any such suspension shall cease to be effective after 6 
     months, or at such earlier date as the President may specify.
       (2) Conditions.--
       (A) Consultations.--Prior to each exercise of the authority 
     provided in paragraph (1) or certification pursuant to 
     paragraph (3), the President shall consult with the relevant 
     congressional committees. The President may not exercise that 
     authority to make such certification until 30 days after a 
     written policy justification is submitted to the relevant 
     congressional committees.
       (B) Presidential certification.--The President may exercise 
     the authority provided in paragraph (1) only if the President

     exercise such authority;

     authority and the authorities under section 583(a) of Public 
     Law 103-236 and section 3(a) of Public Law 103-125 have been 
     used for the purposes for which they were intended.
       (C) Requirement for continuing plo compliance.--
       (i) The President shall ensure that PLO performance is 
     continuously monitored, and if the President at any time 
     determines that the PLO has not continued to comply with all 
     the commitments described in subparagraph (D), he shall so 
     notify the appropriate congressional committees. Any 
     suspension under paragraph (1) of a provision of law 
     specified in paragraph (4) shall cease to be effective.
       (ii) Beginning six months after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, if the President on the basis of the continuous 
     monitoring of the PLO's performance determines that the PLO 
     is not complying with the requirements described in paragraph 
     (3), he shall so notify the appropriate congressional 
     committees and no assistance shall be provided pursuant to 
     the exercise by the President of the authority provided by 
     paragraph (1) until such time as the President makes the 
     certification provided for in paragraph (3).

     Minister of Israel and in its letter of September 9, 1993, to 
     the Foreign Minister of Norway to--

     peace and security;

     SEC. 1501. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING UNITED NATIONS REFORM.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the 50th anniversary of the United Nations provides an 
     important opportunity for a comprehensive review of the 
     strengths and weaknesses of the United Nations and for the 
     identification and implementation of changes in the United 
     Nations that would improve its ability to discharge 
     effectively the objectives of the United Nations set forth in 
     the United Nations Charter;
       (2) the structure of the United Nations system, which has 
     evolved over 50 years, should be subject to a comprehensive 
     review in order to identify the changes to the system that 
     will best serve the interests of the United States and of the 
     international community;
       (3) the United States, as the strongest member state of the 
     United Nations, should lead this comprehensive review;

     efficient United Nations with clearly defined missions are in 
     the interest of the United States and of the United Nations;
       (5) the United States should develop a unified position in 
     support of reforms at the United Nations that are broadly 
     supported by both the legislative branch and the executive 
     branch;
       (6) the need for reform of the United Nations is urgent; 
     and
       (7) the failure to develop and implement promptly a 
     strategic reorganization of the United Nations will result in

     to United States foreign policy and to international politics 
     generally.

     SEC. 1503. CONTENTS OF REORGANIZATION PLAN.

     agencies of the United Nations system that most directly 
     serve the objectives of the United Nations set forth in the 
     United Nations Charter;
       (C) the increased cooperation, and the elimination of 
     duplication, among United Nations agencies and programs

     Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees;
       (F) a substantial reduction in, or elimination of, the cost 
     and number of international conferences sponsored by the 
     United Nations;

     United Nations to achieve the objectives of the United 
     Nations set forth in the United Nations Charter.

                   HERZEGOVINA.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) since 1992, Bosnian Serbs, backed by the Government of 
     the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and in particular leaders 
     of the Republic of Serbia, have waged war against the 
     Government of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina;
       (2) the Bosnian Serb army has engaged in brutal attacks on 
     Bosnian civilians with backing from the Yugoslav People's 
     Army, with headquarters in Belgrade;
       (3) the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina has cost some two 
     hundred thousand lives, created hundreds of thousands of 
     refugees, and threatens the stability of Europe;
       (4) the Government of the Russian Federation has 
     significant influence with the Government of the Federal 
     Republic of Yugoslavia, and in particular leaders of the 
     Republic of Serbia, owing to historical, cultural, and 
     economic ties; and
       (5) the United States and the Russian Federation have a 
     mutual interest in seeing the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina 
     come to a just and lasting resolution at the earliest

     use all diplomatic efforts to urge the Government of the 
     Russian Federation to cooperate with the United States 
     Government in encouraging the Government of the Federal 
     Republic of Yugoslavia, and in particular leaders of the 
     Republic of Serbia, to help end the war in Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina.

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mrs. FEINSTEIN (for herself and Mr. Brown) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by them to the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       On page 124, after line 20, insert the following new 
     section:

     SEC. 618. SENSE OF CONGRESS SUPPORTING THE MIDDLE EAST PEACE 
                   PROCESS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Bush Administration and the Clinton Administration 
     have both worked relentlessly to build on the Middle East 
     peace process that began in Madrid in October 1991, with the 
     goal of achieving a comprehensive, lasting peace between 
     Israel and all its neighbors;
       (2) on September 13, 1993, the first major breakthrough of 
     the Madrid peace process was achieved when Israel and the 
     Palestinians signed the Declaration of Principles on Interim 
     Self-Government Arrangements;
       (3) the United States pledged to support the Israeli-
     Palestinian Declaration of Principles by providing 
     $500,000,000 of assistance over 5 years to the West Bank and 
     Gaza;
       (4) the May 4, 1994 Cairo Agreement between Israel and the 
     Palestinians resulted in the withdrawal of the Israeli army 
     from the Gaza Strip and the Jericho area and the

     for those areas;

                      HATFIELD AMENDMENT NO. 2018

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. HATFIELD submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill, S. 908, supra; as follows:

       On page 124, after line 20, insert the following new 
     section:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF CONGRESS WITH RESPECT TO INDOCHINESE 
                   REFUGEES.

       (a) Finding.--The Congress makes the following findings:

[[Page S 11033]]

       (1) A substantial but undetermined number of asylum seekers 
     who have escaped from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and who 
     are now detained in refugee camps throughout Asia, have had 
     their refugee claims rejected because of corruption, 
     hostility to asylum seekers, or other defects in refugee 
     screening processes.
       (2) Others have had their claims rejected because the 
     standard which was applied did not recognize persecution on 
     account of close association with the United States war 
     effort as sufficient to establish refugee status.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress, as 
     follows:
       (1) United States tax dollars should not support any 
     program or activity that involves involuntary repatriation to 
     Vietnam, Laos, or Cambodia of persons who fought on the side 
     of the United States or who were otherwise closely identified 
     with the United States war effort, victims of religious 
     persecution, or other persons who are refugees under United 
     States law.
       (2) Within numerical limitations provided by law, refugees 
     described in paragraph (1) should be permitted to resettle in 
     the United States and in other free countries.
       (3) To the extent necessary to ensure that genuine refugees 
     are not involuntarily repatriated to Vietnam, Laos, or 
     Cambodia, persons now detained in refugee camps should be 
     offered access to rescreening under a process genuinely 
     calculated to determine whether they are refugees. The 
     procedures, standards, and personnel employed in such a 
     process should be such as to ensure that the risk of return 
     to persecution is no greater than in the process available 
     under United States law to determine the asylum claims of 
     persons physically present in the United States. It would be 
     preferable to conduct such rescreening in the countries in 
     which the asylum seekers are currently detained. If this 
     should prove impossible, rescreening should be offered to 
     asylum seekers immediately upon their voluntary repatriation 
     to their countries of nationality, if their safety can be 
     ensured during the process of rescreening and resettlement.
       (c) Definition.--As used in this section, the term 
     ``involuntary repatriation'' includes return because of 
     force, threat of force, duress, or any other means calculated 
     or likely to effect such return without genuine regard for 
     the wishes of the person returned.
